people in the country feel, if you are playing in new york city police officer, you are portraying a hero. in our case, flawed heroes, so they are more believable, but you are playing a hero, and irresponsibility is significant. if you are in command, you really don't want to show weakness or the problems you are going through. you want to give confidence to your people, but yet you want the audience to see just those things. private moments for a character like the police commissioner become important so they can let down their guard. but it has been a real challenge. he cannot just go around barking orders because he is the boss. a year before the story started, he had responsibility. in his mind, he ordered his son into harm's way and he did not come out. he lost his son a year before he became police commissioner. tavis: let me jump from that to jesse stone. what do you want to say about the return of mr. stone? >> jesse is jesse. i have to issue no. 8. -- have to shoot no. 8. on the 20th we start shooting jesse stone. it is called "benefit of the ubt." cops seem to like jesse because
