角色介紹 Characters

Detective Angie Flynn

Kristin Lehman

基本背景:一位單親媽媽,和兒子Manny在充滿勞工的地區租房子。她開老式汽車Oldsmobile Hurst,沒有CD音響沒有藍芽傳輸。她按自己的方式過活,是個好嗎媽媽和好警探。
公事方面:她做事像是一輛卡車,口直心快,一根腸子通到底,想到什麼說什麼,不管聽者是誰。根據過往經驗,她不聽從上級指示的調查方向,憑自身直覺辦案。她對弱者常心軟,比起自己的事情,她願意花更多時間照顧和幫他們出聲。一開始嫌疑犯總是會以為自己能比Angie聰明,可以騙過她。
特殊技能:當有人唬爛撒謊時,她的直覺第六感可以清楚知道。當嫌犯說謊時,她可以知道察覺有什麼不對勁。她所經歷的人生讓她強悍,能屈能伸,鍥而不捨,不輕言放棄。她從錯誤中和人際關係與職場上吸取教訓,從中學習。雖然看似強悍,但她剛柔並濟,對想要有所隱瞞的犯人來說,絕對是天敵。

BACKGROUND:
• A single mom, Angie lives with her teenage son, Manny, in a rented house in a working class neighbourhood.
• She drives a “classic” Oldsmobile Hurst, no CD player, no Bluetooth.
• Angie lives her life on her terms. She’s a good mom and a great homicide detective.

EMPLOYEE PROFILE:
• Angie barrels through investigations like a semi-truck, impulsively saying whatever comes to her mind to whomever she’s speaking to.
• Experience has taught her to ignore the party line and pay attention to that nagging feeling in her gut instead.
• She’s always had a soft spot for the underdog, and spends more time caring and fighting for others than she does for herself.
• Taking her at face value, suspects often make the mistake of believing they’re smarter than her and that they can outwit her.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE:
• A sixth sense when it comes to bullshit. She knows when a perp is lying, and she can smell when something’s not right.
• The hard knocks of her life have made her tough, resilient, and determined not to give up.
• She learns from every mistake, every bad relationship, and every job.
• While Angie may be a force of nature, she’s also caring, a dangerous combination for a criminal desperately trying to hide the truth of their crime.
