How long have you been in love with Sheila, Pete?
Malcolm
Martin: Might want to run you through a CT scan if you survive this, killer.
Malcolm: I'm not a --
Martin: Killer? Murderer? Psycho? I beg to differ. Look at what you did, taking out four hardened criminals in one fell swoop.
Malcolm: I didn't shoot anybody.
Martin: Oh, you didn't pull the trigger or load the guns no, no, no. You loaded their minds. With fear. And anger, each one to the exact right amount. Oh, my boy, it was a work of genius. All this talk of friends is really beside the point. You don't need friends. You're just like your old man.
Martin: What did you say to our son? Malcolm isn't answering my calls.
Jessica: I haven't said a word to him.
Martin: You know I'd hate to tell the police the true story, but my feelings have been hurt.
Jessica: Psychopaths don't have feelings.
Martin: Actually we do. Trick is we can turn them off whenever we want.
Dani: What happened?
Vijay: We happened. The corner table boys. The bad seeds. We saved the day. I'm not under arrest, am I?
This phone is reserved for telemarketers and politicians. Identify yourself so I know how hard to slam the receiver.
Jessica
Jessica: Stop calling me.
Sterling: Jessica, it's been too long.
Sterling: Are you still drunk and beautiful?
Jessica: Are you still a parasite suckling at the scum of the earth?
Sterling: And damn good at it.
Let's go find a killer. Should we high five maybe? No. OK.
Edrisa
Malcolm: You're mad at me.
Dani: A little bit yeah. Do you think that I enjoy talking about this anymore than you do? I buried my dad when I was 16, Bright, and they put him in that wooden model right over there. And no, I didn't want to tell you that, but I did because that's what friends do. And you wanted to be friends remember?
Malcolm: Dani..
Dani: I think that we should split up.
Leanne: Go get him.
Edrisa: I'm sorry. I'm not going to do that. You're just going to have to shoot me.
Malcolm: Let's just do what Leanne says. It's just a body.
Leanne: No, he is not just a body!
Edrisa: She's right. I'm sorry, these aren't just dead bodies. They're people, who share their final moments with me. It's the ultimate privilege to be their last witness, and I won't let anyone dishonor that.
Martin: I just realized something. This might be a nightmare, but it's my nightmare, and I'm not a regular person, am I?
Young Malcolm: No, you're not. You're a predatory psychopath.
Martin: That's right, and what does that mean?
Young Malcolm: That you're always in control.
Martin: Yes. I am. You know I once told my son monsters don't exist, but that was a lie. You know the truth, don't you?
Girl in the Box: What are you going to do?
Martin: I'm going back to my family, of course. They need me. My boy.
Dani: Who you calling?
Malcolm: Speaking of relationships to preserve, I owe someone an apology. Edrisa, listen, I need to tell you that I'm sorry.
Edrisa: You really don't.
Malcolm: But what I said at the hotel, I didn't mean to imply that you don't help people. That's crazy.
Edrisa: You were right. I panicked. It's the reason I became an ME instead of a clinician. I can't handle the stress.
Malcolm: Edrisa --
Edrisa: I have to go. Bye.
I get it. I do. Real relationships can be hard as hell. Life is full of surprises and death is messy, but we can't run away from it. I can't run away from it. We need to face it. Maybe we can both face it together.
Malcolm
