 Cowboy Cop: Agent Bennigan annoys her assigned partner Agent Rollins by bending rules of procedure. This ultimately gets her booted off the case when her son Henry gets involved. She does ask Rollins to keep her in the loop. This bites her in the ass when the Secretary of Defense orders Agent Rollins to kidnap her son and use him as leverage against the Bennigans to get them to cooperate with him. Rollins does so...but returns Henry back to his parents instead.

 By-the-Book Cop: Jessup Rollins is a straight-laced and methodical FBI agent who strictly follows orders to a tee and is practically Married to the Job, as he tells Claire that he's divorced. He draws the line at kidnapping his partner's son as a bargaining chip against her and is willing to help the Bennigans because he feels that they're onto something more than his superiors.
