We see the ripples through his home life, as his spouse (the heartbreakingly good Tuva Novotny) deals with the unruly
behaviour of their youngest son; we see the legal ramifications in courtroom exchanges that crackle with quiet suspense; and we see the positive benefits it has for his squad.
That might be recognised in a mother's habitual
behaviour toward her
youngest son, usually precipitated by his childishness, where the absence
of emotional involvement with her husband (whose occupational role has taken him increasingly out
of family life) was a disposing factor because neither parent have acknowledged the family life cycle issues they face after 25 years
of marriage.
