* "Fallen Heroes, Part 1": After the squadroom shootout that leaves Junior Bunk and three uniformed officers dead, and Ballard and Gharty wounded, the other detectives gather at the hospital. Gee cuts off an argument between Pembleton and Bayliss over whether they might have pushed Junior Bunk too far during interrogation and issues an order of the coldest fury:
-->'''Gee''': No recriminations, not yet. Not until we finish this. No one in the Mahoney organization sleeps tonight. We take everyone. We take every house, we kick in every door. Georgia Rae wanted a war? Well, guess what? She's got one. Now let's go.

* A disgraced Russert casually gets the sniper copycat to confess, while Gee looks on with an expression of awe.
* In one of the later season episodes, Munch spends an entire episode tracking down Gharty's past in the Vietnam War, hoping to shame him as yet another sadistic killer, racist, baby killer or whatever he can. Finally at their bar one night, Gharty lays it all out for Munch and several others- he was barely a kid drafted into service, until one night his CO ordered the men to kill unarmed civilians. Gharty refused and knocked his CO out, leading to his desertion from service. For once, Munch not only looked like a tremendous ass but had nothing to say other than an apology for harassing Gharty.

-->'''Lewis''': I remember when I was workin' as a beat cop. Our job was to clear the corner. No big deal. Just tell people to move along and most of the time, the police tell you to move along, that's what you're gonna do, you're gonna move along. But every once in a while, there's gonna be some knucklehead fool, wanna keep standing on your corner talking trash. And he told me, don't you ever, ever, let some knucklehead stand on your corner and shame you. Cause once you've done that, you're done as a beat cop. So what he suggested I do, was that I take out my billy club and smack him upside the head so hard, that everybody who heard it knows who had the last word... Luther, you're on my corner.

* Howard has been forbidden from mentioning a related case (the Lyness murder, investigation ongoing) in her homicide testimony. Then the [[AmoralAttorney defence lawyer]], hammering away at the police-work, contemptuously asks her to name one case - just one! - in which a single perpetrator used both a knife and a gun. She looks to the state prosecutor; he nods; and with a shit-eating grin Howard says, "We have indications in the death of Alexandra Lyness that there was only one murderer."\\
