Law & Order: Criminal Intent · Season 1
See, we wanna know why Benny Boy jumped because, as you say, he was in a good mood.
Well, do you ever really know what's going on inside a fellow human being?
You mean like, one minute you're talking to a good Samaritan, the next you're charging him with murder?
[to Joey] You want a regular life? The life that Phil took away from you? It's gonna take a lot of steps to get there. This is the hardest step.
You were cleared, Mike. Anybody gives you any crap, they can talk to me.
What, you goin'?
Yeah. Sleep. Remember?
You live all the way in Brooklyn. My place is right down the street. [Barek looks at him skeptically] I'll take the couch.
[Logan grins. Barek looks at him.]
I don't believe you got a couch that big.
Yeah. Maybe not. Forget it.
Go home, Mike. On account you're not in your right head.
It's called Post-Traumatic Stress, Mike.
I'm so relieved it has a name.
It would've been better if he'd shot me.
What about your colleagues?
Oh. Well. They're all very supportive.
What do you want them to do, take a swing at you? Is that why you tried to provoke your partner?
I killed a cop.
Mike. You have to accept that it's possible to do all the right things and still get a bad result.
How? How do you accept that?
Foster care stopped sending me boys. There are so many new rules. I was going broke, I... I forgive you.
What?
Mother forgives you. Can you forgive her?
I'm sorry, it's not for me to forgive you. You need to tell me what those boys coerced you into.
You can't forgive your own mother? It's the only way you can be happy. Please.
[pause] Okay. I forgive her.
You don't mean it. You're just saying it...
I mean it. I've forgiven my mother. Now...
Now? [suddenly cold] Nothing. Lawyer. When you feel ready to face your colleagues behind there, you know, you tell them I want a lawyer.
[Taylor is watching car racing on TV and sees a car crash)
Woo-hoo! Look at that!
You like car races?
Oh yeah! I got a need for speed! I'm– not that I break the law any more, officer. I got plenty enough tickets to last me a lifetime, but no DUI's. I don't drink. I got an allergy.
Your job. You're always climbing around in those vents, that's dangerous, huh?
It's fun!
Dangerous and fun.
[deadpan] Woo hoo.
[Goren has implied that Regina Reid seduced her stepson Justin]
You're sick! You're sick! [storms out]
[bored shrug] So we're sick.
It feels like I have a knife to my ankle... which is weird, because I don't even have an ankle anymore.
I've got two weeks left on the job. I'm having some fun.
[Not trusting Goren's unothodox investigative style, new Major Case Captain Ross has instructed Eames to privately keep him "in the loop" about their cases.]
[to Goren, privately] I'm supposed to keep an eye on you.
Let me know if I can help.
[about serial killers] They all have one thing in common. No one has ever listened to them, to their story. So I listen to them. However long it takes.
He told me. About your mother. Your father. He said you could've gone either way.
Either way?
He said... some homes are like... labs for creating serial killers.
