Quotes

add »
Tom: McNorris, I stood two feet away from that girl. I did nothing. You have no idea what that's like.
David: You're right. I don't. I have no idea what it's like to be a cop. But I do know my fair share about one thing: guilt. Wallowing in it. Numbing myself in it. Getting in knock-down, drag-out brawls with it. So, I can tell you this much: it never ends up being a fair fight. Careful, Tom. (edit)

Trivia

add »
At the train station, Tom first says that the police didn't know how Erika was leaving town and that they had stake-outs in airports and bus stations, so how could the media be outside that specific train station? (edit)
