    Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

    FILTER BY TYPE

    • TRIVIA (1)

      • At one point the detectives interview a former police officer who is working security at Mattawin Studios. This is the fictional studio where Eddie Newman worked in the three-part Law & Order arc, "D-Girl," "Turnaround" and "Showtime."

    • QUOTES (3)

      • (Winters and Jaruszalski are discussing the motion to bring the trial back to Los Angeles as they walk toward courthouse protesters.)
        Winters: What a circus.
        TJ: For a motion!
        Winters: Imagine a full-on trial. Dekker should let the Feds handle it.
        TJ: Yeah? I want to see Walker's face when the jury drops the hammer on him.
        Winters: Well, speaking as a former jarhead, the military can drop a hammer on him as hard as anybody.
        TJ: In secret. My father escaped a country that made secret trials an art form. I'll take this circus any day.

      • Dekker: (to the jury) And finally… there is no doubt about this. The taking of innocent lives is never justified. Whether it happens in a valley in Pakistan or in a valley 10 miles north of this courtroom. And it is only right and proper that someone speak for these innocent victims. Today you can speak for two of 'em… speak in a single and clear voice that will pierce the fog of fanaticism and self-righteousness. And as pure an expression of our justice system as this trial has been, it still needs you to put the final piece in place. Murder is murder. Let everyone watching this trial know it.

      • Winters: Word to the wise? If you're gonna drop in on your friendly neighborhood meth cooker, leave the kids at home.

    • NOTES (4)

      • The song being played on the car stereo in the first scene is the theme from Dora the Explorer.
