S1 E15Unfinished Business

EFEric Frazier

This is literally all the information we have on our users: where they are, where and when we pick them up, where and when we drop them off. That's it.

That's it? You're describing your level of omniscience that's traditionally ascribed to God and Father Christmas.

I owe you a bit of an apology. I attempted to express my concern for you last night, but my thoughts were distorted by the lens of my own needs. It was not optimally done.

Oh, that's okay.

What I was trying to say was that one of the things I've gained from our collaboration is a working definition of the word friendship. Friendship, I've come to believe, is most accurately defined as two people moving towards the best aspects of one another. It is a relationship of mutual benefit, mutual gain. Another thing I've learned is that my isolationist tendencies are decidedly not my best quality. I am not a better person because of a lack of connection. So, I think the healthy thing is for you not to move in my direction. In fact, quite the opposite.

That's worth thinking about.

Our relationship is predicated on one Holmes and one Watson. It's a delicate homeostasis. It doesn't function properly if there are two Holmeses and no Watsons. So while I am sensitive to this is likely a ripple effect from the tragedy, turning yourself into me in response is not good for our partnership.

You're partisan hacks who twist facts until they cohere to a pre-existing viewpoint. All whilst hiding behind the seemingly academic label of a think tank. I despise you and people of your ilk on both sides of the aisle.

Well, I thought long and hard about that, Alfredo, and after many, many hours I've come to the most wretched of realizations, one that might curdle your very blood: You are my friend.

True prison breaks--those from within the grounds--are rare. Those perpetrated by women, almost unheard of. [sees Watson's expression] It's statistics, Watson. It's not that they fail more; it's just that they don't try.
