You've done it all.
We've been after these guys for such a long time.
You'll be fine.
And I said, can I wear a wire?
And he goes, no, no, you can't wear a wire for this case.
And I'm like, so how will I know that you're behind me?
And he goes, Deb, we're the best at the job.
Of course, we'll be behind you.
And I was really struggling in that moment going,
what am I going to do?
Is my career going to be over because I'm going to say no?
And I just couldn't do it, Sarah.
I was sitting there going, all the doubts flooded into my brain that I'm not an actress.
And this is not my life.
And I can't do this.
It was all these negative thoughts going through my head.
And I said to him, boss, I can't do it.
And so he walked out to the squad room and he goes, it's off.
And I came back to work the next day and he said, Deb, we want to offer you a job.
We want you to stay with the squad.
