  1. What song is Season 5 Episode 14 where the Metro are on the roof surveying the compound of kidnapped hostage.
    Had the words ‘ no difference’’ in this moody song.

  2. i watch the rookie for the story line not the background music. however most of the time all i can hear is the music. dialog is lost due to volume of the music. turn it down t`o civilized level!!

When asking about what song is playing during a scene, please specify around what minute.
