Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe still of Sgt Grey (Richard T Jones) as a rookie is from the actor's role in "Phonebooth" , not "NYPD Blue" as some seem to mistakenly believe.
- GoofsThe uniform that Sgt Grey is shown wearing, supposedly from his "rookie' year with the LAPD is not in fact an LAPD uniform. It appears to be that of a Sgt in the NYPD (including precinct assignment insignia). It is a still from the actor's role in Phone Booth (2002)
- Quotes
Documentary Interviewer: I've heard rumours that you have insight into the QAnon angle of this case?
Officer Smitty: Have you ever tried to put toothpaste back in the tube? I know it's an expression but have you actually tried to do it? I have. It's basically impossible.
Documentary Interviewer: And what do you think Q is trying to tell people with this Q drops, these cryptic messages?
Officer Smitty: I really wasn't trying to say anything. I was just typing and maybe I got a little carried away.
Documentary Interviewer: Wait, what did you say?
Officer Smitty: Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to reveal that... I'm Q.
John Nolan: Smitty is Q?
Nyla Harper: I'm sorry, what?
Sergeant Wade Grey: Lord, give me strength.
Lucy Chen: What?
Officer Smitty: A lot of writers use pseudonyms. Q is my first initial, so... hey, is my name down there?
[chyron reads "Quigley Smitty, Police Officer, 'Q'"]
Lucy Chen: But it was an accident? He - he didn't start it on purpose?
Documentary Interviewer: That's what he said.
Tim Bradford: Yeah, sounds like Smitty.
Officer Smitty: I was trying to start the fan fiction club for This Is Us and things just got out of hand.
Documentary Interviewer: What the hell does This Is Us fanfic have to do with a cult?
Officer Smitty: I mistakenly mixed cough syrup with diet pills when I was writing a Satanic alien story line for Jack and Rebecca. I woke up the next morning and read it; none of it made sense. But overnight I got so many followers I just went with it. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
