(Spoilers for 8/17/08 - Logan's last episode...sorta)
Sacrosanct? Right. I believe the answer to that would be: uphold the truth, speak for the victims, and be the man I want my sons to be. Right?
I don't know. I guess if I were a different kind of captain I might say something like, "Trust my detectives. Do all I can to have their backs." I'm not that captain, though. I'm the captain...the captain that knows what can happen to us when we turn on each other. When there's betrayal in the ranks, when there's a liar and a cheat - we all pay.
I don't try to be a hard ass. I don't argue with my detectives just to argue, or because I don't trust them and believe them. I argue because they're my detectives, and I know what can happen to them if they step out of the lines. My squad isn't perfect. Far from it.
However, I'd like to keep the detectives I have. It's my ship and while I may not always like my crew members, I like how we sail. If I have to make them hate me to keep them around, well then...I guess I'll be hated.
