Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe still of Sgt Grey (Richard T Jones) as a rookie is from the actor's role in "Phonebooth" , not "NYPD Blue" as some seem to mistakenly believe.
- GoofsThe uniform that Sgt Grey is shown wearing, supposedly from his "rookie' year with the LAPD is not in fact an LAPD uniform. It appears to be that of a Sgt in the NYPD (including precinct assignment insignia). It is a still from the actor's role in Phone Booth (2002)
- Quotes
Documentary Interviewer: I've heard rumours that you have insight into the QAnon angle of this case?
Officer Smitty: Have you ever tried to put toothpaste back in the tube? I know it's an expression but have you actually tried to do it? I have. It's basically impossible.
Documentary Interviewer: And what do you think Q is trying to tell people with this Q drops, these cryptic messages?
Officer Smitty: I really wasn't trying to say anything. I was just typing and maybe I got a little carried away.
Documentary Interviewer: Wait, what did you say?
Officer Smitty: Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to reveal that... I'm Q.
John Nolan: Smitty is Q?
Nyla Harper: I'm sorry, what?
Sergeant Wade Grey: Lord, give me strength.
Lucy Chen: What?
Officer Smitty: A lot of writers use pseudonyms. Q is my first initial, so... hey, is my name down there?
[chyron reads "Quigley Smitty, Police Officer, 'Q'"]
Lucy Chen: But it was an accident? He - he didn't start it on purpose?
Documentary Interviewer: That's what he said.
Tim Bradford: Yeah, sounds like Smitty.
Officer Smitty: I was trying to start the fan fiction club for This Is Us and things just got out of hand.
Documentary Interviewer: What the hell does This Is Us fanfic have to do with a cult?
Officer Smitty: I mistakenly mixed cough syrup with diet pills when I was writing a Satanic alien story line for Jack and Rebecca. I woke up the next morning and read it; none of it made sense. But overnight I got so many followers I just went with it. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

All we want is straight forward police procedurals. Start the episode, set up the problem, then solve the problem. Thats all. That's what will fly here, not director and writer imaginative plots that fail.
