LTLinda Tibbs

I already told you I'm not getting involved.

We're not asking you to, ma'am. We just need you to cooperate.

LTLinda Tibbs

It doesn't matter what you need! I don't trust you and I'm not going to help!

If you quit now you're going to miss the best part: payback.

LTLinda Tibbs

What are you talking about?

A few months ago I had a fiance. He tried to kill me.

LTLinda Tibbs

You're lying.

Look, everybody thought he was the greatest guy, including me. Then he pulled a gun on me.

LTLinda Tibbs

What did you do?

I shot him.

Dead.

[To Tibbs] Hey. How you doing. You're under arrest, for the attempted murder of...everybody.

WWainwright

You know that psychopathy test I gave Tibbs? I figured out why it didn't work. See, it's a rating scale based on observation, so the more time you spend with the subject the more accurately you can then observe their behavioral traits, and guess what I've been doing?

[smiles] Oh, you haven't.

WWainwright

Glibness and superficial charm. Check.

You flatter me.

WWainwright

Grandiose sense of self worth. You betcha. Cunning and manipulative. Poor behavior controls. Failure to accept responsibility for actions. So I cross-referenced all of my observations with your history as a thief and conartist and, uh, congratulations, Jane. According to the score you are a clinical psychopath.

Wow. Well, that certainly explains a lot.

WWainwright

Now I know what I'm dealing with, so I'll adjust accordingly.

[smiles] As you should.

Everything all right?

Yeah. I like our new boss. I think we'll work very well together. Would you like some tea?

I'm tired. I'm going to go home.

I made a pot.

All right. I'll take one to go.

I heard you got your man.

As did you. Nice work.

Do you think I'm an anti-social personality?

Yeah, sure. Who isn't?
