Goren, Hicks and others in “Unfinished Business”

Goren

Whatever you meant or didn't mean, they're now going to convict you of first-degree murder.

Don't let them scare you. If they had the evidence, he wouldn't be here talking to you.

Goren

[slamming his hand down on the table] Do not mistake my meaning for being here! Do not! [to Tagman] Maybe he's right, John. Maybe you will walk out of here a free man - but you won't be free. Because you want what you want: someone who won't leave. Who won't judge you. Someone who will surrender herself to you. A girlfriend. Now, this need, it won't stop. You know that about yourself, don't you?

[choking up] I... no. No. I'm not like that.

Goren

John, your loneliness is so deep you can't help but do this again. Hurt other women. Commit evermore depraved acts. You ate Amanda's flesh. You cooked it with potatoes and onions. Because you needed to be connected to her, to be close to her. That's what your life is always gonna be like. You're always gonna be looking for that connection, each day worse than the last. I know you want to stop. I know you want to be a good person. I can see it, because you have remorse. It's why you drink. John, take responsibility.

Mr. Tagman, don't answer him.

Goren

This will never stop until you take responsibility.

The interview is over...

Goren

She can't even remember her own name, John. She can't remember.

Detective...

Goren

How many more?

[sobbing] I don't know why I do this! I wanna know why, I... oh, God, I'm so sorry! I just wanted... I'm sorry! What is wrong with me? Oh my God!

Eames

A heartfelt confession. So much for the death penalty.
