Yannick Bisson: Detective William Murdoch

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  [At a cemetery, Detective Murdoch's father has just been buried. After speaking with Inspector Brackenreid and Constable Crabtree, Murdoch stands by the grave, and Julia joins him] 

  Dr. Julia Ogden : It's a good thing you did for him, William.

  Detective William Murdoch : What's that?

  Dr. Julia Ogden : He carried his guilt his whole life. That couldn't be undone. You were able to bring it to light.

  Detective William Murdoch : Only after he'd died.

  Dr. Julia Ogden : But he wanted to confess, before he died. That's why he wanted to come and see you. He decided to do the right thing.

  Detective William Murdoch : And he did sacrifice himself for it. I suppose I should admire him for that. If only he'd done it sooner.

  Dr. Julia Ogden : Well, he could have walked into any station house to confess. He wanted to see *you*, because you were both seeking the same thing: resolution, reconciliation.

  Detective William Murdoch : And now we'll never have it.

  Dr. Julia Ogden : No. But perhaps the fact that you both wanted it is enough.

  [Julia departs the gravesite, leaving William to contemplate silently]
