Paul Turner

"I was ordered to do the things I've done for Blacklight and I never hestitated, never asked why. Maybe I should have, but I didn't, and it's too late for me to start now. I've waded through blood for this Department, Kate. I've seen things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, and I've done things that will never truly leave me, not if I live for another century. So I have to believe I did them for good, no matter how hard they were."
