What do you got here?
Video recordings of Leonard Brooks' prison therapy sessions. 14 years' worth.
Why don't you call his shrink and get the Cliff Notes?
S9 E2Where There's Smoke...
(About Leonard Brooks) People like Brooks spend their entire lives blaming other people for all their problems. And I don't care how rough he had it, there's nothing on these tapes that are going to justify what he did to those people.
I'm just hoping there's something on these tapes that tells us why he did it.
You think Mac's okay?
How do you mean?
How do I mean? I don't know exactly. It's just, you know, he's... he seems off.
Well, a little off would be pretty damn good considering everything he's been through. I mean, think about it. He suffered a life-changing trauma, months of painful rehab.
Yeah.
Most people would have reexamined everything, quit their job and be sitting on a beach, but not Mac. Couldn't wait to pick up exactly where he left off. I think it's a miracle and a gift that the guy's the same old hard-ass boss he's always been.
(To Danny) You're just an old softie.
I am never going to bad-mouth computer files again. These CPS files are killing me. This sucks.
Are you always this whiny?
Yes.
Where'd Brooks take her?
Now, more importantly, how long does she have to live?

Is that what you want, Leonard? To be invisible? Starting fires seems to be in opposition to that want.
No. You never listen. Can't you see? I control fire. No one's looking at me. All eyes are on the flames.
You were expecting Jimmy to save you?
He was just so big. He was like an adult. He looked like one of the guys in the comic books, like some kind of superhero.
But he wasn't a superhero. He beat you, too, didn't he, Leonard? Afraid that if he didn't, he'd suffer the same fate.
When I think about it, though, Mother was smaller, yet it always hurt more coming from her.
(To Leonard Brooks) All those fires, and the one that got you caught, the one that put you away, is the one where you went back in to save an innocent woman.
You did the one thing no one would do for you: come to the rescue.
You think I chose to be like this?
It's the events in our life that shape us, but it's our choices that define us, and you made the wrong choice, Leonard.
You should know, the guys got a pool going.
(Sitting at her new desk) Yeah? Let me guess: what will last longer, me or the plant?
It's like that moment when you're a kid and you first realize how powerful the ocean is. You step in, and the water's calm, and you hold it in your hand, but it just slips through your fingers. And you think: well, how strong could it actually be? Feeling bold, you wander out into the abyss. And by the time you turn around, everyone you left on shore seems too far away to help. That's when it hits, this wave, this massive current that pulls you in and pushes you down, holds you there, pinned beneath something so strong. It's like... something you can't control. All you can do is hold on and fight, but then the more you fight, the more weary you get and your lungs burn and your throat... throbs, so you... just let it overtake you. You feel this... force, seemingly benign, but it... can consume and destroy you. It's the thing inside me, strong in ways that nobody can see or comprehend. This dark undertow that I'm powerless to stop. I guess the fires were really controlling me.

Uh, damn, take it easy cop. Why are you so agro?
Sorry. I'm not from around here.
Looks like he took a pretty stiff shot to the nose as well.
Yeah. Could've left him unconscious long enough for bleed out.
Well, from the look of things, I'm guessing that didn't take too long.
What the hell was this guy doing with pictures of a dead girl in his backpack?
Maybe his death has something to do with hers.
Either way, it looks like one homicide may have just become two.
