[Jim Gordon arrives home from the funeral of Officer Katherine Parks]

James Gordon:
[Gordon pours himself a drink] Katherine Parks was 23. On the force a year. And today we put her in the ground because when I had the chance, I didn't do the only sensible thing.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins:
Jim...

James Gordon:
An assassin kills four cops... dares me to pull the trigger, and I don't. Explain that to me.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins:
That man was your prisoner; you didn't have a choice.

James Gordon:
I had a choice.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins:
Yes, to upload the law or to become a murderer. You made the right one.

James Gordon:
You think Katherine Parks feels the same way? What about her family?
