Quotes

Nick Vera: My point is, sometimes women say 'no' when they don't mean it. Cause if they didn't, they'd be thought of, you know...
Kat Miller: Hoes?
Will Jeffries: Digging that ditch deeper...
Nick Vera: I would never call a woman a ho. All I'm saying is what's a guy to do? Back off at the first no? Human race would go extinct.
Kat Miller: No means no! How many ways you need that spelled out?
Nick Vera: The name of the game is pursuit. You run, I chase.
Kat Miller: You ain't chasing me anywhere. (edit)
Nick Vera: Sayin' we got a serial rapist?
Lilly Rush: Saying we got a new pool of targets.
Kat Miller: And any one of them could have killed him. (edit)
Maggie Lafferty: They didn't even have a name for date rape back then. (edit)
Nick Vera: Maggie Lafferty! Philly PD.
Maggie Lafferty: Would've never guessed; cheap suit and all. (edit)

Trivia

add »
There are a couple of inconsistencies regarding the date Mike Delaney was killed. Firstly, he was supposedly shot on the night of his college graduation. According to the title card, the graduation took place May 18, 1982, yet the date on Mike's headstone was May 29, 1982.

Secondly, Lilly remarks that the 25th anniversary of his death is coming up. This would date the present-day events in the episode in May 2007, which is out of place considering the picture of the graveyard that Lilly shows one of the suspects is dated November 25, 2007, the air date of this episode.

According to the date on the headstone, Mike Delaney was killed on May 29, 1982. (edit)

"Well written"
Good episode it had an engaging case and the interpersonal struggles with the squad were well portrayed. The case gave us a victim that was in reality a predator. This is a rarely used technique on the show. The squad had to dive throw a
