Gerald S. O'Loughlin: Lt. Ed Ryker

Quotes 

• Lt. Ed Ryker : [Lt Ryker and Officer Terry Webster are at Memorial Hospital, viewing Laurie Scott's baby in the pediatric wing. They are discussing the baby's future, and Laurie's upcoming trial]  It's a fact, that that girl was at the scene of the crime. It's a fact, that the loot from the robbery was found in the car with her. It's a fact, that our investigators have theorized that she was scheduled to drive the getaway car and Mother Nature intervened.

  Officer Terry Webster : [Terry believes that Laurie knew nothing about the robbery. He is adamant that Lt Ryker hear him out]  Ok... ok. Ok. But theory is just another word for guesswork, and if our investigators guess wrong, an innocent girl could go to prison!

  [Terry feels sympathy for Laurie and truly believes she is innocent. He looks directly at Lt Ryker and his eyes implore him to understand] 

  Lt. Ed Ryker : [Lt Ryker stares at Terry a moment before answering]  She'll get a fair trial, Webster. And you're supposed to be on duty.

  [Lt Ryker walks away. Terry is visibly disappointed with Ryker's answer]
