Ironside Season 7 Episode 8

Commissioner: I don't know how to say this to you, so I'll get right to the point. Flat out without fancy language I think you've been working too hard. How does a vacation sound? Take a month off, relax, two months if you like.
Ironside: Dennis, we've been friends for a long time, you've backed me on some pretty long shots, I want you to go along with me this time.
Commissioner: Well I'm only asking you to take a vacation.
Ironside: You didn't let me finish. I've had it Dennis, I'm resigning.
Commissioner: Take your badge back. I refuse to accept your resignation.
Ironside: You have no choice in the matter. Somewhere in this department there is an information leak and whoever that pipeline feeds has already tried to kill a boy to stop him from talking to us. Now we only have two Aces, they think the boy is dead and they don't know what he might have told me. So we have only one course of action left, we have to get those cards into the game and since I'm the only logical play there, I'm going underground.
Commissioner: Be a cover, if we have to discredit you, nobody will believe us.
Ironside: They might believe I quit because of depression over the death of a child. Ask Mark and Fran and Ed.
Commissioner: Alot of people still won't understand.
Ironside: I'm not thinking of alot of people, I'm thinking of a ten-year-old boy.
Commissioner: I'm thinking about you. It's a cold world out there, you'll be alone, old enemies surface quickly when they smell blood.
Ironside: Dennis my mind is made ...
Commissioner: What about your staff? What happens to them when your gone?
Ironside: That's up to you, whatever, they'll understand.
