Emmy award worthy

The scene in the elevator is Emmy Award worthy. Watch it to see a truly great actress show her talent.

One of the best openings of the series
MiketheWhistle21 October 2018
If anyone wants to know as close as possible without first-hand experience, watch the opening of the show. The seconds seem like hours and desperately trying to figure out where the danger is coming from and trying to save someone and watch the life just slip away stays with you forever.

Final scene
Tony_rooke17 December 2021
Another great episode, with a mix of genuine drama, humour and really good acting. Best part is the final scene - Brenda looking up at her parents and Fritz - a truly beautiful shot of a genuine star. Thanks to the director "Mr Sedgwick" !!

We're gunna need a bigger board!

Loved this show! When listing all the people "Who Would Want To Kill Chief Johnson??" Andy Flynn says " We're gunna need a bigger board!" A reference to "We're gunna need a bigger boat" from the movie "JAWS"

Pope, completely exasperated
nitecruzr23 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
> Don't ever do that, again.

Brenda hijacks the elevator, turns it into an interrogation room.

And watching the veins in Brenda's neck pop out, as she screams at Hawthorn.

> What did I do to you? What did I ever do to you?

Then complete panic, in Bill Hawthorn's eyes, as the officers storm the elevator, and he realises that he just confessed to murder.

This is definitely one of my fave scenes, in this series.

And yes, the opening scene where blood and glass rains down on Brenda, as she hunkers down in the cabin of the car, is intense.

And Pope, as he chastises Brenda for keeping the Daniels / Gabriel romance a secret - it helps establish J. K. Simmons persona, that he retains, as he sells insurance. Deadpan.

The whole episode is classic.
