My past will always follow me. As it should. I do still... I have the urges every day, and I don't want to go back to that place. But... as long as I can't be arrested for my thoughts, I won't.
S9 E1Reignited
Thank you for treating me like a human being.
We don't know any other way.
Hey, I know it's been a rough couple of weeks and I don't want to sound selfish but I'm having withdrawals. For six months I'm with you practically 16 hours a day,and now, lately, it'd be easier to get an audience with the pope.
Yeah, but the pope isn't taking you to your favorite place for dinner.
What are these for?
I don't think I ever officially thanked you for taking care of me. There is no gift or words that could ever come close to saying how much it meant having you there by my side through those six months. Every single day your smile and your love just pushed me to work harder, and you... you lifted my spirits. So... two dozen roses: one for every week you took care of me.
All right, enough of the mushy stuff. Let's go and eat. I'm starving. You know I have favorite places all over the city. Which one are we going to?
(Struggling to remember the name of the restaurant) Well, you know, the one with the, uh, the dish that you like.
Oh, let's see, that narrows it down to about 50 places?
You know... th... the one with the, uh, stuff. The one with the chef who, uh, you always ask him what the recipe is and he always leaves out one ingredient.
Oh, Piccolo! The truffle rigatoni with vegetable and sausage!
Yes.
Christine Whitney: Wow, you made that difficult. Do I win a prize?
Well, I think it's hanging off your arm.
S9 E2Where There's Smoke...
(Addressing a young officer) Answer it, just say hello.
OOfficer
Hello? (To Mac) It's for you, Detective.
(Grabbing the phone) Taylor.
Sorry about the lack of hospitality Detective, I wasn't expecting guests.
Oh my God, Mac. Looks like those pipes were the source of the heat. Someone turned this elevator into a boiler.
Somebody turned this elevator into a torture chamber.
What's his endgame here, Mac?
Whatever it is, Leonard Brooks had 15 long years to plan it.
Turns out Brooks has no known friends or associates, which doesn't shock me, having met the man.
He's independent and self-reliant. Makes him even more unpredictable.
Press is wrong about me, you know?
Don't like being called a monster?
No, that part is accurate. I am a monster, but please tell those reporters my victim was anything but innocent.
For years, Leonard Brooks has suffered from sudden impulse control disorder, compelling him to start fires, but he did it to cause property damage, never to cause bodily harm or to take a life.
So, why does his M.O. suddenly change? And in such an extreme fashion?
Because, clearly, the relief that he got from starting fires no longer had any value.
So torture and murder is his new drug of choice.
And when his emotional need shifted, he needed to find another means to satisfy it.
(About Leonard Brooks) This is a guy who spent a large portion of his life in jail. And now that's he's out, those urges and sensations are magnified. They're just overwhelming. Control may not even be an option for him.
Impressive.
Growing up with three older brothers has its advantages.
Can I help you with something?
Yeah, I need a desk (Flack hesitates, confused. She points to one) Looks a little something like that?
We need to identify her to make a connection. Circulate her... (Unable to remember the word) The, uh... circulate... (Sighs) Get her face across the wire.
Brooks stuck around to see his plan in motion.
Looks to me like the bastard enjoyed the show.
