It's funny, I can't cry. I don't have any tears left.
“Gray Matter” · Season 4, Episode 5
In this episode: Augustus Hill (2), Tobias Beecher (1), Vern Schillinger (1), James Robson (1), Johnny Basil (1)
The criminal mind-- For the past 200 years, scientists, sociologists and other folks who fret about such things, have debated whether a person commits a violent act because of their environment or their biological makeup. What turns on the red crime light in a man's brain? lf we find the cause, can we eliminate the effect? Can we end violence now and forever?
Beecher hasn't been out of his cell for two solid days. He just lies in his bunk sobbing like a wuss.
Good. That's what's truly elegant about this plan of mine. We don't physically touch Beecher, and yet the damage done is far more hideous.
Genetics or environment? Like in everything else, society searches for the magic bullet-- the easy answer, 'cause the more complex the answer is, the more terrified we become. Is the root of violence much deeper, much darker? How about pure evil? Maybe we human creatures are inherently evil. Maybe evil is ingrained, embedded in our souls. Flip Wilson used to joke, The Devil made me do it. Maybe he was right. Or maybe not.
