Episode Notes
 
Benito Martinez and CCH Pounder do not appear in this episode.
 
This episode was designed to be "a day in the life of Jon Kavanaugh", and give you his point of view. Every scene involves Kavanaugh throughout the episode, which is why we rarely see conversations with people not talking to him directly.
 
This episode marks the return of Anthony Anderson as Antwon Mitchell, who was last seen at the end of Season 4.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Kavanaugh: You know my name. If your brain clears up, give me a collect call. (Hands Mitchell his card)
Mitchell: Sorry you wasted a drive Jon. What was it? Three... four hours?
Kavanaugh: Forget it. Time's on my side.
Mitchell: That's where you're wrong. See me, I'm just living one real, long, day. You're the one with the ticking clock in his ear. Otherwise you wouldn't be here, talking to a man like me.
 
Kavanaugh: I never authorized the use of a wire hit.
Vic: Well I know how much you love them, I figured I'd try one for a change.
 
Sadie: Take me home.
Kavanaugh: I can't. There are rules.
Sadie: Then break one.
Kavanaugh: What I do, is I stop cops from breaking the rules. I can't stop them if I can't stop myself.
Sadie: Then you try bending one just once.
Kavanaugh: I'm an Internal Affairs lieutenant, that's, that's who I am.
Sadie: And I am your goddamn wife! And when I got sick, you left me, ALONE, Jon! You shit all over me, and the rest of the world shit all over me!
Kavanaugh: I tried to take care of you.
Sadie: You tell the truth! You didn't want to!
Kavanaugh: I was, tired-
Sadie: Of taking care of your wife. You left-
Kavanaugh: I'm sorry.
Sadie: You can shove sorry, right up there with the pop bottle.
Kavanaugh: Don't say that, okay.
Sadie: I wasn't worth taking care of and now I'm not worth shit, you (Kavanaugh holds her) NO! I WANNA GO HOME! I wanna go home! Jon, please! Please!
(Vic and Lem watching on the monitor)
Lemonhead: ...Shit.
Vic: At least we found his weak spot.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
A couple of bodies in the back yeard BBQ just have blood splashed on their clothing. If they were really hit by grenades, there would be heavy shrapnel on every body.
 
When Kavanaugh's talking to Sadie at the Barn, you can see Corrine and her lawyer at the front desk. When he tells Saide to go upstairs, look at Corrine's back. You can see the microphone powerbox hanging off her pants.
 
The grenade Lem tossed should have doen a lot more damage than just that small explosion. Especially in a warehouse like this.
