I'm glad we didn't have guns in my house. Would have shot my sisters just to get them out of the bathroom.
I liked having a big family.
JPJimmy Price
My parents gave me a gift. A twin. Who wouldn't want two of me?
What kind of victim forgives the killer at the moment of death?
A mother.
It's important to know when to turn the page. Have you thought about applying to schools?
My dad killed girls at all the schools I applied to.
[pause] Perhaps that can wait, then.
First and worst sign of sociopathic behavior, cruelty to animals.
That doesn't apply in the kitchen.
I have no taste for animal cruelty. That's why I employ an ethical butcher.
PBPhyllis 'Bella' Crawford
An ethical butcher, be kind to animals and eat them?
I'm afraid I insist on it, no need for unnecessary suffering. Human emotions are a gift from our animal ancestors. Cruelty is a gift humanity has given itself.
A gift that keeps on giving.
Jack hasn't abandoned me.
Not in discernible way. Perhaps the same way gods abandon their creations. You say he hasn't abandoned you, but at the same time wandering around Wolf Trap in the middle of the night.
Well this should be interesting. Please, doctor, proceed.
Jack gave you his word he would protect your head space, yet he leaves you to your mental devices.
Are you trying to alienate me from Jack Crawford?
You seem more betrayed by Jack than by your own body.
PBPhyllis 'Bella' Crawford
I don't feel betrayed by Jack, and there's no point at being mad at cancer for being cancer.
Sure there is.
PBPhyllis 'Bella' Crawford
Cancer isn't cruel. Tiny cell wanders off from liver, gets lost, finds its way into my lung, where it's just trying to do its job and grow a liver.
What it grows, and where it's growing it will likely kill you.
PBPhyllis 'Bella' Crawford
Not "likely". It will kill me.
It's getting harder and harder to make myself look.
No one's asking you to look alone.
But I am looking alone, and you know what looking at this does.
I know what happens if you don't look, and so do you.
I can make myself look, but the thinking is shutting down.
Mr. Graham's going to need to see the crime scene with as much privacy as you can provide.
Oh, yes, that thing you do. You're quite the topic of conversation in, uh, psychiatric circles, Mr. Graham.
Am I?
Uh, yes. A unique cocktail of personality disorders and neuroses that make you a highly skilled profiler.
He's not here to be analyzed.
Perhaps he should be.
I've read your notes, of course. They were more or less helpful as I conducted my own interviews with Dr. Gideon over the years.
Well, I'm glad I was helpful.
More or less.
What effect were you hoping to have by killing Elizabeth Shell?
The effect I was hoping to have was her death. Mission accomplished.
You don't think I have a right to know what's happening with my wife?
You have every right to know what's happening, but not from me.
Well, I'm not just gonna stand outside my marriage and watch this happen. If that's what she wants, too bad! She married the wrong guy for that.
I'll offer one insight. She doesn't think she married the wrong guy.
Certain personalities are attracted to certain professions.
Do you know what professions psychopaths disproportionately gravitate to?
CEOs, lawyers, the clergy.
Number five on the list is surgeons.
I know the list.
Well then, you know what number six is.
Journalists. Know what number seven is, Mr. Graham?
Law enforcement.
Here we are, bunch of psychopaths helping each other out.
Words are living things. They have personality, point of view, agenda.
[to Will] Your bad luck that you’re the best, pal.
