Quotes 

• Detective Mare Sheehan : [after Helen fixing her grandson band-aid]  Unbelievable.

  Helen Fahey : What?

  Detective Mare Sheehan : If that had been my Band-Aid as a kid, you would have told me to shut up and fix it myself.

  Helen Fahey : Oh, yeah. Is that something you talk about in therapy?

  Detective Mare Sheehan : Is it all right if I do?

  Helen Fahey : Of course... Mm-hmm. Truth is, I was angry a lot. I was angry that your father wasn't the person I thought I'd married, and... I was angry that I couldn't fix him, and... took a lot of that out... on you... I'm sorry, Mare.

  Detective Mare Sheehan : Well... I forgive you, Mom.

  Helen Fahey : Good... Because I forgave myself a long time ago.
