  • 1 How's your report coming?3 And you're handling it. In two shifts, you turned your past into an asset. I mean, you switched from warrior to caregiver. 5 What do you mean?7And that feeling will grow. You just need to give yourself a little more time to adjust.9no i'am not going to accept that 11Barnes. I'm gonna check in on you. And your POST certificate's good for three years. You change your mind, you will always have a home here.
  • 2 just finished. I, uh... need to talk to you about something. Transitioning from military to police has been harder than I expected. 4 Yeah, but it's what's still down the road that has me worried.6 Looking out over the city yesterday, feeling the sun on my face — that's the first time I've felt at peace in a long time.8 No, I don't know that I can — at least not while wearing a uniform. I need to see what life is like when I'm not in survival mode all the time. And that's not gonna happen if I'm a cop. So, with my report, I am also submitting my resignation memo.10 I really appreciate it, sir. But this might be the last chance I have to change my course, leave the violence behind. And I need to take it. Thank you for everything..

  • You got something to say, Chen?Look, Officer Barnes has other issues.she won't wear purfume Look, I teach my recruits according to what they need. Officer Barnes won't wear perfume because she's still worried it'll give away her position. A part of her is still waging a war in Afghanistan, and if she's gonna be a cop, that has to go. You are a kind and insightful person. You see the good in people. So much so that I had to show you the world can be a scary place. Officer Barnes only sees a scary place, and she needto know that not everyone's out to hurt her.
