Gentlemen, I got to tell you, this guy Spaulding sounds like real scum. I hope you can put him away for the rest of his miserable life and I'll be glad to help you do that...as soon as you appear before me with constitutionally-obtained evidence. Now, just so you understand Agents Taylor and Malone, you may not enter a house without a search warrant under the flimsiest of exigent circumstances and then bootstrap that questionable entry into a fishing expedition for other evidence. [to Danny] And you, son--you had no right to continue the search after finding that dog. You had no right to open the photo album and you certainly had no right to remove it from the premises. And you have absolutely no right to an arrest warrant based on the photographs found therein. Make sense?
“Suspect” · Season 1, Episode 5
In this episode: Jack Malone (4), Graham Spaulding (4)
I meant what I said before, Graham. You care about these kids. That's why you took Andy under your wing. He was confused, vulnerable. You were the only one who understood him.
Is that right?
I think so. But then he turned on you, didn't he? I know how that feels. Know how...painful that can be. You pour yourself into someone--your time, energy, and devotion. You give them everything they need to grow and then they just abandon you.
Are you speaking from experience?
Sure. You love someone...you make love to someone...you give your life to them and then they don't even look at you.
I know about the other boy.
What other boy?
This kid. The young, scrawny, frightened, lonely kid. The kid who only wanted love and approval. I know his pain. I know that boy.
Do you?
Yes. I do. And I know that you want to put that boy out of his misery. You know, Graham, your father wasn't a strong man. He wasn't supportive man. He was a weak, cowardly, sadistic bastard. I know he used to touch you and I know you used to beg him to stop.
You believe whatever you want. You don't know anything about my father.
You know, I've been giving something a lot of thought. It's occurred to me that...in some ways, I envy you.
You envy me?
Yes. The power...that you have with those boys--what that must feel like.
What boys?
Andy, Eric Lipinski, Robert Griffith. I know there have been others.
There have been many.
Do me a favor, Graham. Tell me what it's like...the moment that you take them out. Tell me. You can see the terror in their eyes, right? You can feel their hearts racing. You can feel the cold sweat under your hands just before you stick the needle in. It must be such a rush. Martin, put the CD in.
[Martin plays the CD; Moby's "One of These Mornings" begins playing.]
Andy made this CD for Phoebe. He wanted her to think about him when he wasn't there. Is that what you wanted? Is that why you stole it? You wanted to think about him. Is it what you two listened to when you were together?
No.
No, that's right, that's right. That's right, you never got a chance. You never got a chance to go back to him because he's still out there. He's waiting. It must be hard. It must be hard knowing that he's out there...waiting. The touch of his skin, the feel of him under you. I understand you, Graham, I do. I've been to that school. I've seen those beautiful boys. Their beautiful bodies...to hold all that innocence in your arms...to take...the power. It must be really frustrating knowing that Andy is out there waiting for you...waiting...waiting...waiting and you can't get back to him. You can't be with him one last time. But I tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you fifteen minutes with him, if you tell me where he is.
You'd do that?
I'll give you fifteen minutes with him...alone. You can do whatever you want.
Fifteen minutes.
Whatever you want.
[They find Andy]
Agent Malone, do I get my fifteen minutes now?
Your fifteen minutes are over.
[Jack throws up after he walks away from Spalding]
