Review: Dark City (1998)

Dark City (1998)

Rated R for violent images and some sexuality

Score: 4 out of 5

Dark City is a film that failed at the box office in its time and, despite a critical reevaluation as one of the hidden science fiction gems of the '90s, still gets overlooked quite often nowadays, for one simple reason: despite its mind-bending plot and creative visual design homaging classic '40s/'50s film noir, it had the misfortune of coming out just a year before The Matrix, a sci-fi masterpiece with very similar themes about what we think of as reality being just an illusion designed to control us. This film was a much more cerebral thriller whose effects shots, while no less visually impressive, were a lot less punchy and action-packed, instead feeling like if the first half-hour of The Matrix got stretched to feature length, given a retro gloss, and focused mainly on Keanu Reeves slowly peeling away the layers of his world, saving the big action sequence for the very end. It's a moody, foreboding film that built up to a great reveal while slowly imbuing the viewer with a paranoid suspicion that their own world may not be "right", and while the finale wrapped things up a bit too neatly and conventionally for my tastes with a rather silly-looking confrontation, the meat of the film was still a slick and highly effective tale that I won't forget anytime soon -- ironic, given what the villains here like to do to people.

The film takes place in an unnamed city with vaguely mid-20th-century technology, aesthetics, and feel, specifically the kind lifted out of a Raymond Chandler novel, a place where the streets are always cloaked in shadows even during what feels like it should be the daytime -- and hey, while you may have childhood memories of sunny days, when's the last time you saw the sun, anyway? We start with a man who wakes up in a hotel room with no memory, only figuring out that his name is John Murdoch from the ID in his wallet, surrounded by the corpses of dead prostitutes that he probably killed, which is not a situation that most of us would want to stick around for so they can calmly explain everything to the police. On the run from the law and searching for both Emma, a cabaret singer who he finds out was his wife, and Dr. Daniel Schreber, who he finds out used to be his psychiatrist, John gets pulled into a twisted web as he's pursued by the Strangers, mysterious, inhumanly pale-skinned men in hats and trenchcoats who he soon finds aren't entirely human, and who seem to control the city from the shadows and regard him as a threat to their plans. Meanwhile, Inspector Frank Bumstead sets out hot on the tail of the suspected murderer, not knowing exactly what he's getting himself into.

I can't really go into much more detail about the plot. Like a lot of old-fashioned mysteries, this is a movie where part of the fun is piecing the puzzle together yourself and then the film revealing how close you came to the truth, albeit one that puts a sci-fi twist on the usual noir story. I can, however, speak to the production values and writer/director Alex Proyas' sense of style, and on that front, I was at once pulled into the film's world and wondering what awful truths lay outside it. The city is the kind of seedy place you'd set a hardboiled detective story, exaggerated to the point where it feels like a warped parody thereof and creating an unsettling feel that this place should not be. Some of the supporting cast members having spotty American accents (this was shot in Australia), something I'd normally ding a film for, only lent to the uncanny valley feel of the city, as did countless other little quirks that made the place feel like somebody trying to draw a picture of a mid-century East Coast metropolis without any reference points as to what that would look like beyond old movies. And that's before you get to the Strangers who are after John, who wear conspicuous trenchcoats and have names like "Mr. Book", "Mr. Hand", and "Mr. Sleep" that sound like somebody tried to come up with ordinary-sounding "John Smith" names to blend in and... didn't pull it off, on top of their general weirdness and stilted manner of speaking calling to mind the G-Man from Half-Life. While it takes a while to get to the "why" of the titular dark city, the film lets you know rather quickly that this is not a normal city, and even before we get to the big special effects shots, Proyas did a great job right off the bat heightening its artifice and pale imitation of humanity. More than anything, it felt like I was watching the darkest possible film adaptation of The Sims, predating the first game by a couple of years but otherwise, without spoiling anything, taking some of the series' central concepts and playing them for paranoid horror.

The cast also did great in making this world feel just the right mix of real and artificial. Rufus Sewell as John, Jennifer Connelly as Emma, and William Hurt as Bumstead all felt like they could've been lifted out of a real 1940s film noir, while Kiefer Sutherland played Schreber as a character wholly unlike the take-charge heroes he's been coded as since 24, a dweebish doctor who serves as the main characters' bridge between the world they know and what's really going on through his exposition. The special effects were not the focus, but they were astonishing to watch for a fairly low-budgeted '90s film, especially a key sequence where we witness the city's buildings shifting around as the Strangers' true power over the city is made clear. Only at the very end did it feel like Proyas ran out of ideas, as John's final confrontation with the Strangers after unlocking his true power ended with them shooting beams of light at each other with their minds while buildings crumbled around them. It all felt pretty goofy, like they needed to find a way to wrap this up and have the hero prevail, even though if I was writing this, there are some seriously dark directions I could've taken the story. The ending, I feel, underlines the big reason why The Matrix was the big late '90s sci-fi movie about reality being a lie that everybody remembers; when it did similar battles between the good guys and bad guys, they came in the form of epic shootouts and martial arts sequences straight out of Hong Kong.

The Bottom Line

Dark City is a film that doesn't get talked up nearly enough, even if I can't really say much more in a non-spoiler review. Ending aside, it makes a great companion to The Matrix as a more cerebral and noir-tinged take on very similar concepts, one that will, at the very least, make it very difficult for you to play The Sims the same way again. A big thank you to Popcorn Frights for screening it last week. Check it out.

Germany’s federal police office, criminal prosecutors and the country’s financial watchdog BaFin raided Deutsche Bank’s headquarters in Frankfurt on Friday, prosecutors said in a statement. The prosecutors said that a search warrant was issued by Frankfurt’s district court, based on the suspicion that unnamed Deutsche Bank employees may have violated anti-money laundering laws. They declined to give further details.

Deutsche Bank confirmed the raid and said it was linked to suspicious activity reports issued by the bank that flagged potential money laundering, adding that it was “fully co-operating with the authorities”. One person familiar with the police investigation told the Financial Times that the raid was over a payment by Rifaat al-Assad, an uncle of the Syrian president; he was sentenced to four years in prison over money laundering in France last year. Assad was not a client of Deutsche Bank, but the German bank about five years ago had cleared at least one payment on behalf of a lender where Assad had an account.

Deutsche’s corporate bank offers correspondent banking services to other lenders. In such transactions, it acts as middleman, clearing cross-border money flows between banks. The payment was spotted by Deutsche Bank when it screened its data for Assad-linked transactions after his sentencing in France, and it was subsequently reported to Germany’s anti-money laundering authority. The Assad connection was first reported by Handelsblatt.

Other people told the FT that the raid was over potentially suspicious money that Deutsche cleared as a correspondent bank, but did not confirm the identity of the individual involved. The raid was triggered by the late filing of the transaction, with criminal prosecutors suspecting the lender may have violated its legal obligations by not reporting them earlier, the people said. The raid is a blow for chief executive Christian Sewing who promised to put an end to Deutsche’s long history of legal and misconduct woes after his promotion to the top job four years ago. “In recent years, we have reduced our legal risks significantly,” he said in 2019, adding that the bank spent “a lot” to beef up its internal controls. “We are constantly improving and won’t make any compromises.”

Shares in Deutsche Bank fell almost 3 per cent on the news but mostly recovered by early afternoon. The raid was unrelated to a suspicious activity report Deutsche Bank had filed over a €160,000 payment made by a client to one of its most senior bankers in 2018, other people familiar with the matter told the FT. Back then, Asoka Wöhrmann, then head of Deutsche’s private client business in Germany, received the money from Frankfurt-based entrepreneur Daniel Wruck, the Financial Times reported in January.

The men later explained that the payment was part of a failed attempt to buy a Porsche. Wöhrmann has since become chief executive of asset manager DWS and is under investigation by Deutsche Bank over that transaction as well as the alleged use of a private email address for business purposes. In recent years, Deutsche Bank has been persistently under fire from regulators over inept anti-money laundering controls.

A year ago, BaFin again ordered Deutsche Bank to do more to fix its controls in that area. Back then, Germany’s financial watchdog broadened and extended the mandate of consultancy KPMG, which it installed as special representative in September 2018 to monitor the lender’s progress on tightening up its internal controls. BaFin also urged the country’s biggest bank to put in place “further appropriate internal safeguards” and to “comply with due diligence obligations”.

Without going into details, BaFin said the lender needed to tackle shortcomings “in particular with regard to regular customer reviews” but also in its “correspondent [banking] relationships and transaction monitoring”. In November 2018 Deutsche Bank was searched by 170 police officers, prosecutors and tax inspectors over alleged money laundering in a raid that hit the bank’s shares. Then, investigators were focusing on suspicious transactions in the bank’s wealth management division between 2013 and 2018.

The criminal investigation into the case was later dropped, but Deutsche Bank paid €15mn for shortcomings in money-laundering controls. In October 2020, Frankfurt prosecutors fined the bank €13.5mn for the belated reporting of suspicious transactions it processed for Danske Bank’s Estonian branch. The lender subsequently announced an organisational revamp of its anti-financial crime unit, putting its chief administrative officer Stefan Simon in charge.

In an interview with the FT last year, Simon acknowledged that competitors had started to boost their anti-financial crime controls earlier than Deutsche. “We were lagging behind and have been catching up for a while now,” he told the FT. He kicked off a fundamental overhaul of the bank’s compliance, centralising the department in the lender’s Frankfurt headquarters and replacing almost half of the control functions’ senior staff, including its group anti-money laundering officer. Deutsche also earmarked an additional but undisclosed sum for the compliance overhaul.

Pat Fitzgerald’s lawsuit vs. Northwestern over the former football coach’s firing can continue, a judge rules

A judge denied Northwestern’s motion to dismiss former football coach Pat Fitzgerald’s $130 million lawsuit against the school claiming he was wrongly fired in the wake of a hazing scandal.

Cook County Circuit Judge Daniel Kubasiak ruled Tuesday that Fitzgerald made a strong enough argument to keep the case going. A trial is set for April 2025.

“As we set forth in announcing our complaint in October 2023, defendants’ actions have exacted terrible, immeasurable costs to coach Fitzgerald, his family and his career,” attorneys Dan Webb and Matthew Carter said in a statement. “As a result of that conduct, we had no choice but to file our complaint for breach of oral contract, breach of his employment contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, false light and tortious interference with a business expectancy.”

A star linebacker at Northwestern in the 1990s, Fitzgerald was initially suspended for two weeks and then fired last year after 17 years as the Wildcats coach.

The school said he had a responsibility to know hazing was occurring and should have stopped it.

“We remain confident that the university acted appropriately in terminating coach Fitzgerald and we will vigorously defend our position in court,” Northwestern spokesman Jon Yates said in a statement.

The former player said he reported his experiences to the University in late November 2022.

He alleges that much of the team’s hazing centered around a practice dubbed “running,” which was used to punish team members, primarily freshman, for mistakes made on the field and in practice.

If a player was selected for “running,” the player who spoke to The Daily said, they would be restrained by a group of 8-10 upperclassmen dressed in various “Purge-like” masks, who would then begin “dry-humping” the victim in a dark locker room.

“It’s a shocking experience as a freshman to see your fellow freshman teammates get ran, but then you see everybody bystanding in the locker room,” the player said. “It’s just a really abrasive and barbaric culture that has permeated throughout that program for years on end now.”

The Daily obtained images of whiteboards labeled “Runsgiving” and “Shrek’s List,” containing a list of names indicating players that the player said needed to be “ran.”

The player said the tradition was especially common during training camp and around Thanksgiving and Christmas, which he said the team called “Runsgiving” and “Runsmas.”

“It’s done under this smoke and mirror of ‘oh, this is team bonding,’ but no, this is sexual abuse,” the player said.

According to the former player, team members allegedly identified players for “running” by clapping their hands above their heads around that player.

The practice, the player said, was known within the team as “the Shrek clap.”

The Daily obtained a video of a player clapping his hands during a game, which the anonymous player said was the same motion taken to signify “running.”

According to the player who spoke with The Daily, Fitzgerald repeatedly made the signal during practices when players, specifically freshmen, made a mistake.

The player believes some players interpreted Fitzgerald making these signals as knowingly “encouraging” the hazing to continue.

“Everyone would just be looking at each other and be like ‘bro, Fitz knows about this,’ because you wouldn’t take that action otherwise,” the player said. “Everyone joins in, because he’s the head coach.”

The second player who spoke to The Daily, who also asked to be anonymous in this story, said he also witnessed these actions occurring.

After receiving the hazing reports, NU hired an independent law firm, ArentFox Schiff, to investigate the claims.

Lead investigator Maggie Hickey, former inspector general of Illinois, interviewed coaches, staff, and current and former players, and reviewed thousands of documents, according to a news release by the University.

According to the release, Hickey’s investigation revealed that while current and former players “varied on their perspective” regarding the conduct, the whistleblower’s claims were “largely supported by evidence.”

Participation in or knowledge of these hazing activities, which were not detailed in the summary, was “widespread” across NU football players, the investigation found.

University spokesperson Jon Yates declined to comment on the specific details of the allegations.

“Our first priority is to support and protect our students, including… all student-athletes who had the courage to come forward in this independent investigation. That is why the University immediately opened this investigation upon learning of the allegations and why we took decisive action once we ascertained the facts,” Yates wrote in an email to The Daily. “Out of respect for the privacy of our student-athletes, we will not comment about the findings beyond what we stated in the release and executive summary of the investigation.”

After the investigation concluded, the University placed Fitzgerald on unpaid suspension for two weeks.

After NU announced Fitzgerald’s unpaid leave of absence, the coach said that he was “very disappointed” and was “not aware of the alleged incidents.”

In a statement emailed to NU community members Saturday night, University President Michael Schill said that he believes he “may have erred in weighing the appropriate sanction for Coach Fitzgerald.”

Schill said that he would engage with NU leaders in the coming days to further consider Fitzgerald’s punishment and keep the community aware of any developments.

“Coach Fitzgerald is not only responsible for what happens within the program but also must take great care to uphold our institutional commitment to the student experience and our priority to ensure all students — undergraduate and graduate — can thrive,” Schill wrote in the statement. “Clearly, he failed to uphold that commitment, and I failed to sufficiently consider that failure in levying a sanction.

The University said in the executive summary of their investigation that while it did not find sufficient evidence to conclude that coaching staff knew about ongoing hazing activity, “there had been significant opportunities to discover and report the hazing conduct.”

The University also introduced additional sanctions against the team. Someone who does not report to the coaching staff is now required to monitor the locker room, and the team must end all practices at Camp Kenosha, a training camp location.

In addition to “running,” the whistleblower alleged that he witnessed the team participate in other hazing traditions in which freshmen were forced to strip naked and perform various acts, including bear crawling and slingshotting themselves across the floor with exercise bands.

In a once-a-year tradition dubbed “the carwash,” the first player said that some players would stand naked at the entrance to the showers and spin around, forcing those entering the showers to “basically (rub) up against a bare-naked man.”

Upon entering the showers, the player alleged that players set up a hose they connected to the shower to spray people.

“It’s extremely painful,” the player said.

The player also alleged that he witnessed and was forced to participate in what he called a naked center-quarterback exchange, wherein a freshman quarterback was forced to take an under-center snap from a freshman center, while both players were naked.

The player said that on one instance, another player was “very vocally adamant” about not wanting to participate in this exchange.

Older players threatened to “run him” if he refused and there was “no other option,” according to the player.

“He was forced to engage in this,” the player said. “I wish I would have told him to transfer, because this is an absolutely abusive environment, and an environment in which the safety and well-being of players is not protected at all.”

The second player confirmed these allegations.

According to Northwestern’s definition of sexual misconduct, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, stalking, dating or domestic violence, and sexual harassment are all prohibited. These acts, the NU football player alleges, qualify under the university’s definition of sexual violations.

Other hazing practices that the player detailed to The Daily included a practice called “Gatorade shake challenges,” where teammates, often freshmen, were forced to drink as many Gatorade shakes as they could in a 10-minute period.

The player alleges that he has witnessed this practice on two separate occasions, and that he’s “never seen anyone not throw up” either during or after the challenges.

The second player said he also witnessed this tradition.

The player said that one of his friends was sick for “a number of days” after this event, and wasn’t able to eat much.

According to NU’s hazing policy, hazing is defined by any action taken “to produce mental, physical, or emotional discomfort; servitude; degradation; embarrassment; harassment; or ridicule for the purpose of initiation into, affiliation with, or admission to, or as a condition for continued membership in a group, team, or other organization, regardless of an individual’s willingness to participate.”

This policy prohibits, among other things, any physical abuse expected or inflicted on another person, sexual violations or other required, encouraged or expected sexual activity whether actual or simulated, engaging in degrading or humiliating games, activities, stunts or buffoonery, and requiring or compelling the consumption of liquid, food, drinks or other substances.

In an email to The Daily, Yates said that all incoming freshman and undergraduate transfers, including student athletes, are required to complete the Hazing 101 Prevention True Northwestern Dialogue.

As part of the onboarding experience for first-year and transfer student athletes, the athletics department administers anti-hazing education, Yates said.

Additionally, Yates said each sports program has biannual meetings with the athletics compliance staff and sports administration “to discuss hazing and its impact on the student experience.”

At these biannual meetings, the player who spoke to The Daily said the office described the hazing policy as a “no tolerance” policy.

After the meetings, the player alleges that upperclassmen would make threats to freshmen saying that “if anyone snitched, then Shrek would get you” in reference to the practice of “running.”

The player said that he saw some fellow players suffer mental consequences during and after the football season.

“I’ve had friends reach out to me in the middle of the night having very suicidal tendencies,” he said.

The player said that throughout the investigation, Hickey’s team and the Northwestern administration, outside of the athletics department, were “helpful.”

But, the player said that he doesn’t believe the sanctions levied against the program are enough, calling them a “slap on the wrist.” The player said he also does not feel that the University should keep confidential the details of the findings, calling the secrecy “extremely frustrating.”

“My goal in reporting these details is to shed light on the harsh severity of this program and just absolutely inhumane traditions and activities that go on in our program,” he said.

Court remands man for allegedly robbing 3 varsity students in Ekiti

An Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrates’ Court on Monday ordered the remand of a 34-year-old man, Anifowose Taoheeb, in Ado-Ekiti Correctional Centre over alleged conspiracy and armed robbery. The defendant, whose address was not provided, is being tried for conspiracy and armed robbery. The prosecutor, Inspector Elijah Adejare, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on February 15 at about 1:30 am in Oye-Ekiti. He said that the defendant conspired to rob Joy Ogunruku, Jecinta Ukali, and Daniel Ajibola, who are all students of the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti, FUOYE. Adejare said that the offences contravened sections 314 and 312(2)(a)(b) of the Criminal Law of Ekiti State, 2021. He quoted one of the victims, Ogunruku, to have said in her testimony: “My friend, Jecinta, and I came out of our room to take a fresh breeze around 1:30 am and suddenly, we saw three boys putting on nose mask. “I later got to know the name of the third boy as Toheeb Anifowose, who brought out a cut-to-size pistol and pointed it at me. “He (Anifowose) shouted, ‘give me your phone’. The two other boys were with Jecinta and demanded her phone also. “They asked us to stand up but I refused, and that was when they started beating us and dragged us away after collecting my iPhone XR and hiding it in the bush. “The two boys ran away, while I held the other one. Jecinta then freed herself and went to call other students who came to my rescue and he was arrested.” The prosecutor urged the court to remand the defendant to a correctional centre, pending legal advice from the office of the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP. The plea of the defendant was, however, not taken. The Chief Magistrate, Mr Bankole Oluwasanmi, ordered the remand of the defendant in the correctional centre, pending the issuance of legal advice. He adjourned the matter until March 27 for mention. Read the full article

The evolution of Daniel Law in Kekkai Sensen

Confident bravado slowly shifts to more subtle actions.

Ah yes, time for more Kekkai Sensen meta and we are turning to a character who has slowly be worming his way into my heart as the story has progressed. When I first watched the anime, I absolutely did not like Daniel Law. He was a classic cop character, smug, confident, full of bravado more than willing to make threats to others to achieve his goals. I’m in general not a fan of cops in media or in real life; it would take a lot for me to find any reason to like the police. Yet, when I read the omake segment where Nightow absolutely gives Daniel shit, I knew I was starting to change my mind on him.

Let’s dive into Daniel and how his character has changed in the manga from his introduction all the way to his role in the Calamity Auction arc.

The introduction of his character is very well done and channels classic noir/crime/detective media as he is revealed over a series of panels giving us a glimpse into his personality.

Between two establishing shots in the middle we have a man sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette, and a partially cropped figure. He has an open trench coat, dark suit and tie as well. It really seems that a light colored (implied to be beige or tan) lightweight coat like his is almost a code for detective or private investigator. There is a somewhat disheveled vibe to this smoking character.

As the discussion about the one thousand yakuza brothers occur the unnamed smoking man states that they are on the verge of moving and that he doesn’t have the people to deal with the situation. We see a distinct swoosh of hair over his left eye and a cigarette between his teeth.

Only then is he revealed. The swooshy haired main is slouched forward on the bench with another man standing guard next to him, but we can’t see him up close yet. It is only on the middle right panel that we see that Steven is the other side of the conversation which was asking if he wanted them to help. Of course he replies that they could be arrested in all of the chaos.

The man agrees that they have all reasons to be cautious as there are others who’d very much like to seem them arrested in reality.

The rumpled coat and smirk tell us so much about this man’s personality. Furthermore, he is the first character who has been introduced who seems to hold his own in a conversation with Steven. He baits Klaus into getting literally fired up to assist while Steven hangs his head in defeat, having not wanting to be involved with him. By this point the visual cues from his outfit, bodyguard and mention of arrest are more than enough that the reader can conclude he’s a cop. Finally, we get a smug grin where he eagerly states that ‘your boss’ has decided to help and he thanks them. Steven is hesitant before he replies begrudgingly that he’ll owe them one before stating his name. This is the Darkhorse translation which goes with Lieutenant Daniel Law (ugh, that low typo). The anime also chooses to use Lieutenant as well. Later scanlations will go with Assistant Inspector as his official title within the HLPD.

Steven is not happy with angry eyebrows and a sweat drop combination. Daniel than replies he’ll owe them one - hence why he’s decided to not arrest them. God, that look on his smug ass face. Makes me want to punch him, thinking that he’s the shit.

And readers, this is when I realized I did not like Daniel Law in the anime. Threatening to arrest Klaus and Steven! Jerk. He even goes on to give K.K. a backhanded compliment about her lack of a bust but is an excellent sniper. This results in her giving him a warning shot and Steven smiles as in response to his lame excuse it was supposed to be a compliment. I’ve already mentioned how this scene is important character development for K.K. supporting Klaus and Steven understanding there is inherent risk in this meeting with the HLPD. And also, just compliment her on her skills and leave the physical remarks out Daniel.

Interestingly, the anime has Daniel sitting on a briefcase of some sort and K.K. is not providing support, the page where she shoots at him is left out. I think that the loss of this did a disservice to K.K.’s character and it also made Daniel look weaker as well. The anime relied on the dialogue to convey the power dynamic while the manga does both. The fact that he’s slouched on the bench while Steven and Klaus have to stand a safe distance away visually tells us that Daniel is the one with the most power in this situation. In reality, we know that they are physically more powerful than he is, but they work in a legal grey area and Daniel does not giving him an advantage.

Keep in mind that these events occur in chapter 14 Run! Lunch!! Run!!! and that we will witness Steven stealing information from the police in chapter 16, Outlaw of Green. Not sure if that favor that Daniel owes them is repaid by giving a blind eye to Steven’s actions with Anne?

Fully involved with the HLPD, Klaus and Steven head to the Eighth Precinct and get the full briefing from Daniel. Of course the entire conversation is driven by Daniel and Steven while Klaus hangs back.

It is Steven who then begins to leverage his own contacts, making it clear that he’ll look into it from his end. Daniel only appears in a few more panels before the actions starts as Zapp, Zed and Leo are about to eat their long delayed lunch.

In the anime Daniel is given a rather drab color scheme. He also has that sort of messy appearance when he’s first talking to Klaus and Steven. His characterization is also slightly different due to the introduction of the anime only plot line.

We see back at the precinct he’s got his feet up on his desk as he leans back in his chair while on the phone with Steven. His tie is also looser and we can see a more open collar - with Nightow’s characters in this series it means he’s working hard and down to business - just like Steven.

I think it is safe to conclude that Daniel’s character design is in part inspired by the famous TV detective Columbo. His suit in this official artwork even has a green tie and purple toned suit. Other photos show a muted brown suit so it is pretty clear that muted earth tones are the color palette for Daniel based off of Columbo.

The next time we see Daniel in the manga until Back 2 Back. The anime gives us the teaser in the OP here as the secondary cast are shown in the city while Leo and Zapp run through the streets.

He also gets to be in the background looking annoyed as they arrest the mad scientists who were attempting to summon the earthshaker who were frozen by Steven in Get the Lock Out. Daniel is with a subordinate who will show up in the Calamity Auction arc. However, since a fair bit of season two is Kekkai Sensen chapter back fill he does not get anything else.

Additionally, this scene is not in the manga - instead the anime team chose to include him to remind us that he exists along with the beat cop next to him.

In the manga Daniel appears in the Dead of Night Warfare chapters when Noctova Smile had descended. This time, Daniel Law is not in the position of power visually. Instead, Steven lifts the yellow police tape and strolls right into the crime scene. Steven has the relaxed posture while Daniel points at him angrily cigarette in hand.

He pauses before stating that Steven is well informed and fast as well. It leads him to ask Steven when he even sleeps, which doesn’t get a reply but the retort that he could ask the same question of Daniel. Pot, meet kettle.

Daniel tries to keep quiet, turning away while telling Steven he’s got nothing for him. We see Steven frown as he thinks about his next move, which is to blurt out the truth with his sly smile - not like Daniel can even see it. Both of these men have terrible posture. Also note the pinstripe suit that Daniel is sporting under his trench.

The bottom panel shows the huge frown on Daniel’s face as Steven, still nervously smiling confirms that he knows what the truth. We see Daniel’s right hand look like it might make a fist, instead he reaches up and grabs Steven by the lapel of his suit and doesn’t have any kind words for Mr. Starphase calling him a bastard and ready to remove him from the crime scene by force.

Steven calmly tells him to not worry about it, stating it came from his own internal sources. The entire bottom panel is Daniel thinking things over with a very angry right eye glaring at Steven. This then leads to the reluctant partnership between Daniel’s team and Libra. He finally come to the conclusion it would be better to work with them; despite being in the weaker position, he makes sure to push his advantage as much as possible giving Libra the crappy end of the bargain.

Steven is not thrilled and instead of threatening to arrest him, he says that Klaus has to talk to Daniel. If not, Steven would have to do Daniel’s bidding. This leaves Steven livid ‘cause, we know the man has [ahem] major trust issues, but seemed to think that his relationship with Daniel warranted a little more faith from the HLPD side. I can assume that this means that off the page there have been more cases since Daniel’s first introduction where the two men have worked together successfully.

Thus begins the awkward meeting where the HLPD and Libra are going to follow the HLPD plan to transport Noctova Smile out of the city. I’m also totally in favor of this outfit upgrade with the full three-piece pinstripe suit. What can I say, I’m a sucker for well dressed men. Of course, he almost gets attacked by Zapp but honestly, the conversation between Daniel and individuals like Zapp are pretty much the same as when they are being given orders by Steven.

Daniel Law is the only character who is as snarky as Steven and this time he’s not as much of a dick trying to threaten people outright with arrest. Now, he’s confident that he’s got everything covered.

However, when the discussion that he suspects that someone in Libra might leak information, it does not go over well with Steven. Note, that this chapter is after Midnight Blue, where Garrett was removed from Steven’s team and Libra by his personal squad. It might be a sensitive subject to Starphase as indicated by how fake his smile is. Steven is even polite enough to ask him to please stop acting that way. With emphasis that he really means it.

Of course the Assistant Inspector’s confidence is crushed when a wax sealed letter is delivered to him. From Veneno the interdimensional thief! That expression on Steven’s face in the background while Daniel frowns is priceless.

That look of shock and anger - which on the next page shows everyone looking disappointed that their job got even harder as he frowns in a semi-chibi form.

Chaos results as Veneno appears and despite all of Daniel’s preparations, things quickly unravel. As expected, he and Steven play a role ordering other people to do things as the stakes get higher. I personally love the panel were Daniel is driven by in the SUV yelling “Goddammmmiiitttt!” only to be followed by Steven screaming at Zapp, Zed, and Leo to not just stand there.

When they finally catch up to transport truck with the Noctova Smile, it looks like Veneno will have it, until Curious explodes him into little bits of body parts. Daniel Law in charge of the operation at first tells him to hand it over.

Out of all the HLPD members present, he doesn’t even have a gun! Are you sure that you are an American Daniel Law? His attempt to stop Curious doesn’t go over well with Steven who whispers over to him stating it might not be a good idea. He sasses back that he can’t just watch Curious take the Noctova Smile, thus, he’ll proceed boldly.

This leads to an interesting monologue from Curious towards Daniel based on his legal rationale to acquire the Noctova Smile for the US government. Seeing that Curious escaped from a US DOD lab, his words indicate that he was enticed by something or someone in the government and then captured and imprisoned. We see a stern but nervous looking Daniel as he finishes talking.

Daniel, likely in a moment of hesitation gives the order to fire and Curious begins to fight with Klaus.

Ultimately, Klaus uses the Noctova Smile to block a strike from Curious, destroying it and preventing anyone from getting it. With the assistance of Veneno’s caster with some encouragement from Chain and Leo, Curious gets tossed into the Abyss for some time.

The absolute look of defeat on Daniel’s face says it all. Equipment has been destroyed, the Noctova Smile no longer even exists and his plans fell apart.

It takes to Steven first address him, where he’s at a loss for words stating “We’re really, truly sorry . . .” The body language shows it from Steven’s side but Klaus looks like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Everyone is exhausted and hopefully they all head home and get some sleep.

The next time Daniel Law returns is at the beginning of the Calamity Auction arc. This time, it appears that Steven and Daniel have agreed to meet in relative secrecy on an equal level on an empty rooftop. So, we’ve gone from cocky, to uninvited Steven, to what appears to be an arranged meeting - likely they went to call each other at the same time when the news broke about the auction.

Daniel starts out by relying the information that he knows from the Federal government. Steven points out the internet still exists, but they quickly come to the conclusion that where there is a will, there will be a way.

Both of them have much softer facial expressions. Daniel Law seems more willing to accept that the situation will continue on despite all efforts to stop it. Steven agrees and Daniel states it should be left up to the experts. Of course Steven knows there are all sorts of ways to enter the city outside normal means. They then start to determine who is going to do what as Daniel wants to know how Libra will enter the venue. Steven can only reveal that they are already on it along with the Werewolf Bureau. Daniel pauses before asking if he can share the information with him.

Steven then hesitates not replying, prompting Daniel to ask if he can believe Steven. As he’s done previously, Steven does not answer Daniel’s question and only states that he feels the same way. Sooo, this means that both men want to believe each other at this point but also still can’t completely trust each other. Steven smiles as he asks the rhetorical question that they know how each of them work which is the best answer he’s willing to give.

They have come a long way in their dynamics since we first saw them interacting in a small park. Their facial expressions show it so clearly. Daniel is serious, not smug and Steven is relaxed as opposed to aloof. This sets up their next encounter soooo well. They almost trust each other, or know each other well enough to feel confident in what the other does reveal.

Until the feds decide to attack Libra and Steven escapes with the team except for Klaus who allows for himself to be arrested. Upon learning this, Daniel is in an absolute panic. He rushes back to the office where he asks what the hell is going on, to his younger brother Marcus.

Marcus has less swooshy hair and much rounder eyes than Daniel giving him an even younger appearance. He’s also comfortable enough to stroll around while carrying a handgun in the office. Marcus simply writes off the arrest of Klaus as an order that they cannot do anything about. Daniel angrily replies he’s well aware of the situation and points out they need Klaus. He both concludes the feds are stupid to pull away Klaus and are confident when they shouldn’t be.

The situation only gets worse when Marcus informs Daniel he’s about to be taken off of active duty and placed under house arrest. Daniel thought that Marcus was going to stop him from being impulsive but instead, his brother (who must be another more junior detective) is taking over.

The rationale is that Daniel is tainted from the Noctova Smile Incident. He brought Libra into the plan and then Klaus destroyed it. This shows that Daniel Law is now guilty by association with his previous actions. It would be interesting to know if someone was monitoring him when he’d gone to meet with Steven on the rooftop.

One of the more emotional older cast members, it is not surprising that Daniel reacts by grabbing onto his younger brother. Man, Daniel looks like he’s gone lose it calling Marcus a stupid idiot and that if the HLPD keeps taking the fall for every little thing there will be no more local law enforcement.

Marcus concludes that it is a violent opinion and he’s trying his best, but other coworkers are seriously wondering what is up.

Daniel’s terrible day only gets worse. He heads to the restroom while grumbling about how bad the decisions are, bemoaning how many people will likely die as this thing shakes out. Only to get his ass frozen by Steven. Steven A. Starphase, you have some balls to stroll right into the bathroom at HLPD HQ. I love how Steven feels that a ball cap and white short sleeve dress shirt are boring enough for him to waltz on in. Like we saw in the last arc with him, he predicted that Steven would be coming for him.

These panels are mainly Daniel talking Steven down from doing something worse and proving that he was out of the loop having been taken off duty. What really seals it is the fact that he has the same belief that those in Libra do. The fact that Daniel is only partly frozen indicates that Steven 1.) needs info from him and 2.) likely trusts him enough to try to hear him out.

This entire five page sequence shows the complete reverse in their dynamics from when Daniel was convincing Libra to assist him in the yakuza situation. As Daniel thaws out, he slams his fist on the tile, declaring that he’ll be in touch and will not stay silent in the matter.

Throughout this entire arc, Marcus will act on behalf of the feds while Daniel will work in such a way that Libra will be able to use his information without being obvious about it. After the Auction House incident, Daniel starts pounding the pavement talking to the beat cops to get an idea what is going on. He’s with MacKenzie, the blond guy from the Noctova Smile incident and they are trying to figure out how people were able to leave the building with all the exits closed off.

The front line cop (Harrison, I’m guessing from the fuzzy context) mentions that one of the snipers spotted bats leaving the venue, Daniel muses if the bats are a sign of the Blood Breeds but states it would be really stupid. The on duty officer than realizes that Law should be under house arrest while MacKenzie says he’s on his way to the grocery store. It becomes obvious that Daniel is disobeying orders and MacKenzie is fine to ignore them as well. The other officer asks Law if he could do something to help. This shows that people really seem to trust Law, however, he’s realizing if they get caught it will be his job on the chopping block and not theirs. Calm is not a word to associate with Daniel Law.

Daniel’s ability to glean this information will prove to be critical as the arc progresses. The next time there is a group of bats spotted in the sky, Daniel pauses for a moment. He’s supposed to be under house arrest and not anywhere near other people and we get to see the tension build as he decides what to do. His expression is down turned and then we get to see him squeeze a radio microphone before calling all units using what I’m assuming to be his badge number to identify himself.

This action shows he is disobeying orders but ties in nicely to a previous scene where Chain is on a rooftop listening to the police communication. So when Daniel identifies himself (and we know that Libra knows his number and voice) they will realize he’s putting it out there for them. Chain hears it and then takes off in pursuit of the bats.

This allows for her to infiltrate the roost of the Blood Breed bat gates/bloodline gates. However, Chain ends up in a standoff with the sentient Blood Breed gates where she’ll get killed if she tries to undilute herself while they state they can reform a gate with another bat.

When it looks like Chain is trapped, the door is suddenly broken down with a battering ram and an HLPD SWAT team rushes in. Under the command of Daniel Law! The best part is if you look more closely at the team right outside the door. That’s right; Daniel is behind the others and he is unarmed - AGAIN!

Daniel, my man, you really don’t even see the point of having a gun do you? He even reminds everyone to visually confirm the Blood Breed related bats/bat gates/whatever. Good call Daniel, though it is unclear what sort of guns will work on them with no fang hunters present.

This intervention allows for Chain to negotiate with the bat gates. All that Daniel can see is a bat blob about to attack an empty corner. As it breaks up into individual bats and swarm the SWAT team Chain forces them to open the Boodline gate.

As most of them flee they are left to observe the gate that Chain forced them to reveal.

Thus, Daniel’s hypothesis has been proven correct! The bats form the gates that allow for people to cross into other locations. Meanwhile, the auction house sends every greedy bounty hunter on Leo and the expected chaos ensues. We get one last action from Daniel where he orders HLPD forces to take Leonardo into custody and to not overdo it if possible.

By this point he doesn’t give a damn about his house arrest order and is taking action. While Libra deals with things that the police simply cannot handle the auction house becomes the final battle ground. However, even with its interdimensional abilities it doesn’t matter when Chain made the Bloodline Gate connect for Daniel and the HLPD. And for the first time we see him holding his gun. He does have one and only uses it when it likely isn’t necessary.

And thus, with the assistance of Libra he’s able to proceed into the legal system to charge the business in criminal court.

By taking the time to look at Daniel overtime, it is clear that he’s had some great character development. He’s clearly meant to be the legit foil to Steven in many instances where Libra and the law bump into each other. I love the color page from the Calamity Auction arc featuring both of the Law siblings. Daniel is passionately speaking to his brother leaning up against the bar with a beer in his hand.

Meanwhile, Marcus smiles as he listens. It is clear that he’s the younger brother who looks up to his rough older bro.

What has the series showed us about Daniel up to this point?

Daniel Law is a passionate and proud man. He starts out cocky able to convince Klaus to assist the HLPD. Steven is more hesitant to join him and physically looks annoyed while Daniel has his own shit eating grin. It is clear that they respect him but you can tell with his hot personality, he’s the opposite of Steven. The two of them frequently bicker back and forth and Daniel is more honest and forthcoming than Steven. Neither apparently get enough sleep, seem to be on the pulse of events and have their vices; caffeine for Steven and nicotine for Daniel.

Yet that pride is well placed. Daniel has proved that he is competent and knows how to organize, motivate and lead other people in situations. Other police officers trust him and are willing to disobey orders to keep working with him. Unfortunately, he’s a regular human with no special abilities and has held a firearm once in the entire manga to date. He reads others well and plans for the unexpected including a visit from a very unhappy Steven.

It is funny how hurt Steven is when Daniel won’t trust him after he entered a crime scene. However, when Daniel was stuck, Steven was on it to lend assistance since the HLPD problem was also a Libra problem.

He drops his facade only to those who know him well enough. Most people still get snarky remarks from him, over dramatic facial reactions and a lot of Daniel freaking out/swearing/being very annoyed. It seems in part he does this so that people don’t pay too much attention to him and underestimate his abilities. This shows with how infrequently he’s drawn a gun. When he went to arrest the auction house owner. This likely refers back to the Columbo elements that Daniel has. He’s got this scruffy look to himself, like he could use new clothing in the beginning or at least get things spruced up.

Yet, when we see that conversation with Steven on the roof, he’s not bluffing or acting confident. Instead, he tentatively asks if he could be privy to the intel that Libra has.

This is such a great scene. Love it so much. It also confirms that Daniel is all bark and no bite. He agrees with Libra’s mandate to fight because those who can’t won’t be able to anything. It means that even if their methods are different they are out to achieve the same goals and protect the citizens of HL.

What is in store for Daniel Law in the future?

He started out as an annoying but competent police detective. He’s worked with Steven a lot based on their dialogue of events that cause them to cross paths off the page. The Calamity Auction arc was clear in revealing that his reputation is tainted from working with Libra in the past. The feds don’t trust him and we don’t know what happened to him after the arrest of the Auction House Owner. Was he able to escape being reprimanded? Or did he get docked for pay or something like that?

With how successful things were, it is only logical that Daniel will want to work with Libra even more. Steven is smart enough to realize that Daniel knew that Chain would be able to pick up on his actions. There is also younger brother Marcus, a character more likely to follow orders without objection.

Will the story bring us to a point where Daniel Law will have to choose between falling in line with the HLPD or working with Libra? Will he and his brother have more arguments, since it is clear that Marcus was worried about him but didn’t do much to change his mind. Is his brother in a better position to be favored by those higher up since he toes the line?

I’m leaning towards some sort of conflict where Daniel going to have to choose who to work with. But the thought of him joining Libra likely means lots of bickering with Steven . . . both men are workaholic control freaks. Steven exudes it with his tidy appearance and only tries to look more approachable with his relaxed posture. Daniel instead has a scruffy and gruff manner but runs everything with an exactness that only matches Steven.

Anyhoo, that’s all I have for now. Looking forward to seeing more of him from the future.

By • Olalekan Fagbade Why Soldiers clashed with Policemen in Adamawa- Nigerian Army A soldier was injured on Tuesday night while a policeman was killed in a clash between some Army and Police personnel in Adamawa. The injured soldier was allegedly shot in the leg by a policeman who was part of a patrol team at Target Junction in Yola. Some soldiers were said to have later stormed the Police Command Headquarters in Yola at about 11pm, during which there was heavy exchange of gunfire. The soldiers later retreated as residents who feared it was a Boko Haram attack scampered for safety. The Commissioner of Police in Adamawa, Mr Afolabi Babatola confirmed the incident in a statement issued by the command spokesman, SP Suleiman Nguroje, on Wednesday. Babatola said a Police Inspector, Jacob Daniel, was killed during the shootings, and ”warned that attacks on all security officers in the line of duty would no longer be tolerated under whatever guise”. He further said that such unwarranted conflict would be strictly treated in accordance with extant laws. The CP appealed for calm, assuring that the two security agencies were doing everything legally possible to address the situation. When contacted, the Brigade Commander, 23 Armored Bridget, Brig. Gen. Gambo Mohammed, said the fracas was caused by the shooting of a soldier by some policemen. NAN gathered that the affected soldier, who was shot on the leg, was later rushed to Federal Medical Centre Yola for medical attention. (NAN)

Tips for Negotiating Real Estate Deals

Tips for Negotiating Real Estate Deals https://ift.tt/hkZ56Gt Your ability to negotiate effectively depends on the local and global real estate market. The process of selling or buying a home usually happens quickly due to the current real estate trends and the varying factors involved in the transaction. As an agent, your financial decisions should be made during the negotiation stage. This guide will give you a list of negotiation tactics and details on how to negotiate effectively. Don’t Make the First Offer One of the most effective negotiation strategies is to name your price second. This will allow you to get a better deal and lessen the anxiety that you might feel during the negotiation. A Harvard Law School study revealed that MBA candidates who made the first offer during a single-price negotiation experienced lower confidence and satisfaction with their outcomes. Be Affirming Affirming language can make people feel welcomed and heard, which is very important in real estate transactions. Being friendly and welcoming can help boost your reputation in the community. One of the main goals of an agent is to negotiate as quickly as possible and with the least amount of obstacles possible. Having a good reputation can help other agents work together for their clients. On the other hand, if an agent has a negative reputation, other agents will not contact them if they are on the seller’s list or pass on their listings. Be Cognizant of Nonverbals Negotiating with others involves being mindful of your body language, facial expressions, and voice. While we typically ignore our facial expressions, our body language can trigger emotions. Body language is one of the most common ways to communicate feelings. For instance, if a person is shaking their head from one side to the other, this can indicate either irritation or disagreement. Do Your Research Before you start a negotiation, it’s vital that you thoroughly research the other agents working with you. This can help you identify their negotiating tactics and what they usually compromise on. One of the most effective ways to get valuable information about another agent is through networking. Make sure that you are direct and to the point, as conscientious people will typically look for facts and numbers that are clearly stated. Also, use your emotional intelligence to analyze the other party’s behavior and demeanor to send the right message and get closer to a deal. Before you start a negotiation, make sure that you thoroughly research the property to get a deeper understanding of its value. For instance, you should hire a house inspector to thoroughly inspect the property to determine what additional costs might be included in the sale.

Thomas Romano Convicted for Distributing Opioids

Pain Management Physician Thomas Romano, Convicted of Unlawfully Distributing Opioids (STL.News) A federal jury in the Southern District of Ohio convicted an Ohio physician, Thomas Romano, for unlawfully distributing opioids from his clinic. According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Thomas Romano, 73, of Wheeling, West Virginia, owned and operated a self-named pain management clinic in Martin’s Ferry, to which individuals traveled hundreds of miles to obtain prescriptions for opioids and other controlled substances. Romano charged $750 for an initial visit and $120 for subsequent monthly visits. The prescriptions Romano issued for opioids and other controlled substances greatly exceeded recommended dosages. They were in dangerous, life-threatening combinations that fueled the addiction of the individuals to whom he prescribed. Between October 2014 and September 2019, Romano prescribed over 137,000 pills, including opioids, benzodiazepines, and muscle relaxants, to nine individuals. The jury convicted Romano of 24 counts of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance outside the usual course of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose to nine individuals. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each charge. A sentencing date has not yet been set. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Parker for the Southern District of Ohio, Special Agent in Charge Orville O. Greene of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Detroit Division, Special Agent in Charge J. William Rivers of the FBI Cincinnati Field Office, and Special Agent in Charge Mario M. Pinto of the Department of Health and Human Service Office of the Inspector General (HHS-OIG) made the announcement. The DEA, FBI, and HHS-OIG, as well as the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation and Ohio Board of Pharmacy, investigated this case. Assistant Chief Alexis Gregorian and Trial Attorneys Devon Helfmeyer and Danielle Sakowski of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section are prosecuting the case. The Fraud Section leads the Appalachian Regional Prescription Opioid (ARPO) Strike Force. Since its inception in late 2018, ARPO has partnered with federal and state law enforcement agencies and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices throughout Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, and West Virginia to prosecute medical professionals and others involved in the illegal prescription and distribution of opioids. Over the past four years, ARPO has charged over 115 defendants, collectively responsible for issuing prescriptions for over 115 million controlled substance pills. To date, more than 60 ARPO defendants have been convicted. More information can be found at www.justice.gov/criminal-fraud/health-care-fraud-unit.

Chicago pd

Jason Beghe as Sergeant Henry "Hank" Voight, the enigmatic and often mercurial chief of the Chicago P.D.'s Intelligence Unit. Despite his brutal, tough exterior, he is loyal to the cops and detectives serving under him and highly "dedicated" to the victims of the crimes his unit investigates to the point of committing human rights violations, mainly torture, and not respecting the law. He is first introduced in Chicago Fire as a dirty cop who clashes with CFD Lieutenant Matthew Casey after Voight's son, Justin, causes an accident in which a teenager is paralyzed, and Casey, who was first on scene, had intended to testify that Justin was DUI. He is arrested by Det. Antonio Dawson for trying to have Casey silenced by force but is later released from prison and reinstated to the police force by Internal Affairs. As a result, many of Casey's colleagues dislike him, and Casey's superior Chief Boden has a love-hate working relationship with him. It is eventually revealed in the Chicago Fire episode "Let Her Go" that his dirty cop alter ego was part of an undercover operation to catch criminals and other dirty cops. Prior to taking command of Intelligence, Voight worked in the Gang Unit. His father Richard was a former CPD officer who was killed in the line of duty. Voight is a widower; his wife, Camille, died of cancer some years prior. His son, Justin, served in the Army and was killed in the last episode of season 3 while trying to help a friend. Voight took an interest in Erin Lindsay at 14 and raised her as his daughter.

Jon Seda as Senior Detective Antonio Dawson (seasons 1–6), an Intelligence Unit detective who previously arrested Voight for harassment and has since worked alongside him. Unlike Voight, he has limits on how far he will go to get criminals off the streets, as shown by the fact that he asks Halstead to stop Voight from killing anyone while on the hunt for Pulpo because he does not want it on his conscience. He and his ex-wife Laura have two children: Diego and Eva. He is the older brother of Chicago Fire character Gabriela "Gabby" Dawson. In season 4, he is offered a job at the State's Attorney's Office as Lead Investigator, which he accepts. After becoming disillusioned with the job, he returns to the unit in the first episode of season 5. In season 6, Antonio struggles with recovering from a shoulder injury and dependency on the oxycodone he is taking for the pain. After a dealer he owes kidnaps, beats, and rapes his daughter, Antonio, high on oxy, kills him in revenge. Though Voight and Ruzek manage to cover up the incident as self-defense, and Antonio successfully recovers in rehab, mayor-hopeful Superintendent Brian Kelton later gets the case reopened in order to take down the Intelligence Unit, and in the season finale, Antonio relapses after Ruzek is arrested after taking the blame for everything to protect him. In the season 7 premiere, it is revealed that Voight found Antonio and checked him into an off-the-books rehab clinic to get him clean again while also protecting his career. It was revealed several episodes later that Antonio resigned and moved to Puerto Rico to spend more time with his family.

Sophia Bush as Detective Erin Lindsay (seasons 1–4),[7] a tough Intelligence Unit detective and former CI whom Voight took under his wing when she was a juvenile delinquent. Because of this, she is closer to Voight than the other members of the unit. She has a half-brother, Teddy Courtney, who was taken by a pedophile ring at age thirteen and was found turning tricks in New York City 10 years later. She was in a relationship with her partner Jay Halstead from seasons 2 to 4. Near the end of the fourth season, Lindsay is accused of assault after she sticks her gun down a pedophile's throat in the interrogation room; facing possible dismissal from the police force, she accepts a job offer at the FBI in New York and leaves Chicago.

Jesse Lee Soffer as Senior Detective Jay Halstead (seasons 1–10), an Intelligence Unit detective who was Detective Lindsay's partner. A former Army Ranger, he is confident in his abilities and sometimes comes across as cocky. He also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, shown progressively during Season 5, later seeking therapy for it. He is the older brother of Chicago Med character Dr. Will Halstead. He was in a relationship with his partner Erin Lindsay from season 2 until she transferred to the FBI in New York at the end of season 4. He later marries fellow detective Hailey Upton in season 9. Following Olinsky's death and Antonio's resignation, Halstead becomes Voight's right-hand. He later resigns from the force early in season 10 after becoming disillusioned with the gray area the Intelligence Unit has to work in, and returns to the Army in a new job hunting drug cartels in Bolivia.

Patrick John Flueger as Officer Adam Ruzek, a younger police officer recruited straight out of the academy by Olinsky to do undercover work. He is often portrayed as an overeager amateur who dives headfirst into a situation without thinking. His parents are separated, and he split time between his father, "Disco Bob" Ruzek (Jack Coleman), a longtime patrol officer with the 26th District who lives in Beverly, and his mother in Canaryville. He was engaged to fellow police officer Kim Burgess.

Marina Squerciati as Officer Kim Burgess, a former flight attendant turned uniformed patrol officer who was Atwater's partner. She was then partnered with Sean Roman before his departure. Burgess is shot in "Called in Dead" and spends the next episode recovering. She was engaged to Adam Ruzek; the relationship is later broken off because of commitment issues. She later develops feelings for Roman before he moves to San Diego. In season 4, she is offered a job in Intelligence, which she accepts.

LaRoyce Hawkins as Officer Kevin Atwater, a uniformed patrol officer who was Burgess' former partner until he was promoted to the Intelligence Unit. He is responsible for caring for his younger siblings, his brother, Jordan, and sister, Vanessa. After his brother testifies to a grand jury about a crime he witnessed, and Vanessa is threatened with rape for her brother being a snitch, he sends them to live with their aunt in Texas.

Archie Kao as Detective Sheldon Jin (season 1), a tech and surveillance expert. He was discovered to be a reluctant mole working for Internal Affairs sergeant Edwin Stillwell, who had leverage to make him cooperate. He is found murdered in the first-season finale episode, "A Beautiful Friendship".

Elias Koteas as Senior Detective Alvin Olinsky (seasons 1–5), a veteran undercover officer and a friend of Voight who previously worked with him in the Gang Unit. Before joining the force, Olinsky served in the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team stationed in Vicenza, Italy. Olinsky mentions in "Called in Dead" that he has eight confirmed kills in the line of duty. At the end of the fifth season, Olinsky is arrested for the murder of Kevin Bingham, the man who murdered Voight's son, Justin, and is later stabbed to death via a hit in prison while awaiting trial.

Amy Morton as Sergeant Trudy Platt (season 2–present; recurring season 1), a sarcastic desk sergeant of District 21, and the immediate superior of the district's patrol officers. Before taking a desk job, she was a uniformed patrol officer, and worked with Dawson. She passed the detective's exam twice. Platt is married to Chicago Fire character Randy "Mouch" McHolland.

Brian Geraghty as Officer Sean Roman (seasons 2–3; guest season 7[8]), a brash patrol officer who partners with Burgess after transferring to the 2-1 from District 31. He transferred out because of his relationship with Jenn Cassidy (Spencer Grammer), who is now a K-9 officer, to avoid breaking fraternization rules. He has his own private security company on the side. After being wounded in the line of duty, and with the department feeling he would be unable to return to patrol, he resigns and decides to join the San Diego Police Department.

Tracy Spiridakos as Detective Hailey Upton Halstead (season 5–present; recurring season 4), a tough former robbery-homicide detective and Erin Lindsay's replacement following her departure to New York. Upton gets transferred to the FBI field office in New York City in season 7 episode 18, "Lines", to temporarily fill in for an agent undercover. She has great relationships with her CIs and goes to many lengths to protect them. Despite a dark turn in Season 7, she is mostly a "by the book" detective. She is married to former Detective Jay Halstead.

Lisseth Chavez as Officer Vanessa Rojas (season 7), a rookie and Antonio Dawson's replacement following his resignation. She previously worked in an undercover operations unit.

Benjamin Levy Aguilar as Officer Dante Torres (season 10; guest season 9[9]), a recruit who had a complicated past and was recruited under Detective Halstead's wing.Recurring[edit]

Samuel Caleb Hunt as Greg "Mouse" Gerwitz (seasons 1–4), the tech and surveillance expert for the Intelligence Unit who replaces Detective Jin. He had served in the same Army unit as Halstead. After he persuades Voight to get a felony expunged, he resigns from Intelligence to reenlist in the Army.

Stella Maeve as Nadia Decotis (seasons 1–2), an 18-year-old former escort and addict whom Lindsay tries and succeeds in helping. She later becomes the Intelligence Unit's civilian administrative aide and was studying to be a police officer. She was murdered by Dr. Gregory Yates in Law & Order: SVU's 16th season, episode "Daydream Believer", the conclusion of the season's second SVU/Chicago crossover event.

The lizzie bennet diaries

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet (Ashley Clements;[11] Elizabeth Bennet in the novel) is the middle Bennet sister and the narrator of most of the vlogs. She is a graduate student studying mass communications and, like her original counterpart, believes women should be highly educated and do more with their lives than simply pursue husbands. She is very close with her best friend, Charlotte Lu, who was born on the same day as she, as well as her older sister, Jane, while appearing to have a more strained relationship with her younger sister, Lydia. While it is clear that she cares for her family and friends, she can also be fairly prejudiced and quick to judge people who she perceives as condescending or a threat to her way of life, such as Darcy and, at first, Bing Lee.

Charlotte Lu (Julia Cho;[12] Charlotte Lucas in the novel) is Lizzie's best friend and often the director/editor of her vlog. Charlotte wants to be a filmmaker and convinced Lizzie to start her vlog as part of a school project. While the original character of Charlotte Lucas from the books is a minor character, Lu's role in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has been greatly expanded; she appears in many of the beginning episodes, and, according to both Lizzie and Jane, practically lives at the Bennet house. Charlotte and Lizzie have a falling out after Charlotte accepts Ricky Collins' job offer (which Lizzie originally turned down), but the two soon reconcile.

Jane Bennet (Laura Spencer[13]) is the eldest of the Bennet children, and an overworked, underpaid merchandise coordinator in the fashion world. She is incredibly polite, sweet and, according to Lizzie, "practically perfect in every way."[14] When Bing Lee moves into town, Jane is immediately smitten with him, much to the absolute joy of her mother. Jane is devastated by Bing's sudden departure. She moves to Los Angeles for both a new job and the hope of reconnecting with Bing. She later returns to her home to support her sister Lydia through her difficulties. After this is resolved, Jane is offered a new job in New York City and reconciles with Bing.

Lydia Britney Bennet (Mary Kate Wiles[15]) is the youngest Bennet child, currently attending community college. She is "feisty, energetic, and unapologetic."[16] Lizzie, somewhat less kindly, describes her as "too old to be on any reality shows about having babies in high school."[14] She has also created a series of her own videos starring herself, her cousin Mary, and her cat, Kitty.[17] On the occasion of her 21st birthday in December 2012, she and Lizzie get into a bitter argument about Lydia's perceived immaturity, and Lydia makes plans to vacation in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve, where she meets George Wickham and begins dating. Later, after being the victim of George Wickham's money-making site, she makes up with her sisters.

Bing Lee (Christopher Sean;[18] Charles Bingley in the novel) is a young, wealthy Asian-American medical student who has moved into The Netherfield House in the same neighborhood as the Bennets. He quickly falls for Jane Bennet and begins to date her. Bing abruptly leaves Netherfield and Jane by returning to Los Angeles, breaking Jane's heart, after Darcy suggests that Jane is only engaging in a relationship with him for his money and Caroline tells him that Jane flirted with another guy at his birthday party. However, after a run-in with Lizzie during her time at Pemberley Digital, he makes a return, having quit medical school to pursue his own passions. He and Jane move to New York together in episode 92.

Caroline Lee (Jessica Jade Andres;[19] Caroline Bingley in the novel) is Bing Lee's sister. She is aware of Lizzie's vlog diaries and appears to help Lizzie keep Bing and Darcy from discovering them during Lizzie and Jane's stay at Netherfield. She has a romantic interest in William Darcy, although her feelings aren't reciprocated. She is later revealed to have attempted to manipulate events to keep Bing and Jane apart, as well as (to a lesser extent) stymie Darcy's feelings for Lizzie. Caroline reappears in the sequel, Emma Approved, as Senator James Elton's fiancé, replacing Augusta Elton, the original wife of Philip Elton, from the novel.[20]

Ricky Collins (Maxwell Glick;[21] William Collins in the novel) is a former classmate of Lizzie and Charlotte's, who asks that he be addressed only as Mr. Collins. He has formed an alliance with venture capitalist Catherine de Bourgh, to attempt a foray into the world of web video. Mr. Collins frequently visits the Bennets while in town for a few weeks and, near the end of his stay, offers Lizzie a lucrative job at his company, Collins and Collins. Lizzie turns him down, so he offers the job to Charlotte, who accepts. This decision causes a brief but bitter argument between the two best friends, but they reconcile after Charlotte invites Lizzie to visit Collins & Collins (in the fictional town of Hunsford, California), where Lizzie also learns to tolerate Mr. Collins.

William Darcy (Daniel Vincent Gordh;[22] Fitzwilliam Darcy in the novel) is Bing Lee's best friend and the wealthy heir to an entertainment corporation called Pemberley Digital. He stays with Bing and Caroline at Netherfield until they all leave for Los Angeles. He first meets Lizzie at a wedding, and she overheard him telling Bing that she was "decent enough", which is when her dislike towards him starts. He is described by Lizzie as a snobby and condescending robot, and Jane has difficulty coming up with a flattering descriptor of him, beyond "tall";[23] Charlotte, however, believes that Darcy has a crush on Lizzie.[24] For a long time, second-hand characterization is all the audience has to go by, as Darcy is referred to but never seen, making his first appearance in episodes 59[25] (only from the neck down) and 60,[26] where he confirms Charlotte's suspicions by confessing his love for Lizzie.

George Wickham (Wes Aderhold[27]) is the coach of a university swim team who forms a short-lived romantic attachment with Lizzie. He claims that though he and Darcy were childhood friends, Darcy ruined his life by withholding money Darcy's father had promised, thereby ending George's hopes of a college education.[28] He leaves town for work, eventually re-entering the story after New Year's Day, where he meets and becomes romantically involved with Lydia, as chronicled in her spin-off videos. At the same time, Lizzie learns that George gambled away all the money the elder Darcy left for him, and then took advantage of Gigi Darcy, William's sister, for more. Finally, he attempts to exploit "YouTube Star Lydia Bennet" by releasing a sex tape of the two of them online.[29]

Fitz Williams (Craig Frank;[30] Col. Fitzwilliam in the novel) is Darcy's friend and colleague. Lizzie meets him while dining with Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy's aunt and Charlotte's boss. He has a boyfriend, Brandon, whose name was officially confirmed on Fitz's Twitter, and is particularly good at making care-packages.

Georgiana "Gigi" Darcy (Allison Paige;[31] Georgiana Darcy in the novel) is William Darcy's younger sister and a graphic designer at Pemberley Digital. Her first appearance in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was Episode 77. She is aware of the video diaries, and claims to like them. She and George Wickham were romantically involved, but this ended when William proved that George was taking advantage of her for the money. Twitter posts between Gigi and Fitz suggest that she actively tries to push Lizzie and Darcy together. She is also instrumental in helping to end George's money-making plot: though the website itself did not list his name and George had stopped returning calls, he answers Gigi when she calls him, allowing Fitz and Darcy to track him down. Thereafter Darcy bought out the company which owned the rights to the sex tape, preventing it from ever being released.

Mrs. Bennet is Lizzie's mother. She appears to be a traditional Southern woman, eager to see her daughters married and interested in little else besides neighborhood gossip. She is almost always impersonated by Lizzie.

Mr. Bennet is Lizzie's father. He appears more calm and levelheaded than his wife, though one of his favorite activities, according to Lizzie, is winding her up.[32] He has a special fondness for bonsai trees and prepares a train extravaganza every Christmas. He is often impersonated by Charlotte and Lydia.

Catherine de Bourgh (Lady Catherine de Bourgh in the novel) is Darcy's aunt and an extremely wealthy venture capitalist who is the primary investor in Collins & Collins, the new media firm run by Mr. Collins, where Charlotte accepts a job offer after Lizzie rejected it. Catherine is very attached to her sickly dog who she calls Annie Kins. She is quick with her opinions and judgements. Charlotte said that Catherine is "on Team Caroline," meaning that she wants her nephew to be with Caroline. She is impersonated by Lizzie, and Ashley Clements says her impression is a combination of Julia Child, Miranda Priestly and Dolores Umbridge.[33]

Mary Bennet (Briana Cuoco[34]) is Lydia, Jane, and Lizzie's cousin who has appeared sporadically in Lydia's vlogs and once in Lizzie's. She becomes better friends and occasional tutor with Lydia while Lydia is staying at her house despite their opposing personalities. She is often the "forgotten" character and her Twitter reads, "I am Mary, never forgotten." Mary also has a boyfriend by the name of Eddie (a subtle nod to the character of Edmund Bertram from Austen's Mansfield Park.)[35] In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the middle sister between Elizabeth and Kitty.

Kitty Bennet (Rosie of House Wiles) is Lydia's cat who appears in Lydia's vlogs. In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the second youngest after Lydia.
