* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sully could be a bit jaded, but he was in general kind and caring. When his wife Tatiana and her adult son were executed by the Russian mafia, he was asked to wear a wire and confront the local boss to try and get incriminating evidence. Doubting that the man would see any real jail time, Sully chose instead to attend the meeting, begin to loudly warn the man to drop his gun, and proceed to straight up murder him. Then before backup could enter, he planted a stolen gun in the man's hand to 'prove' self-defense. He got away with it, too.

* GoryDiscretionShot: An episode set on September 10, 2001 has the cast members going about their ordinary day, and in Sully's case, preparing for his wedding. It ends the next morning with them rushing off to the World Trade Center, having learned of the attack. However, we never see any footage of it--even when the firehouse or precinct is alerted, we only hear the phone ring, with no words ever being spoken. Not even when several characters are clearly watching the news--given their stunned and horrified expressions--do we ever see anything. The next episode after that takes place several weeks later, with the obviously exhausted first responders continually coming and going from the site.
