I'm not gonna fire you.

This isn't about your job.

I want you to take

all the time you need.

Then I want you back.

But I can't use you like this.

Tom, I think you need help.

I'm fine.

You're fine?

Take a look around you, Tom.

I'm bailing you out of jail.

Listen. The desk sergeant said

the detective you took a swing at...

...won't press charges

if you agree to get counseling.

- A psychiatrist?

- Yeah.

The department uses him...

...for officers and fire-fighters

who've been through traumatic events.

Call him.

Rise and shine.

Let's try the other one.

- Yes.

- Are you okay, Mr. Archer?

- Is everything to your satisfaction?

- I don't know.

Do you need assistance?

I just need a minute.

Is everything all right?

I don't think so. No.

What seems to be the problem?

I don't think this is the man

who murdered my son.

There is no doubt he is the man.

Why do you think it's not him?

The tattoo.

He had a tattoo on his wrist.

A tattoo?

In all your statements to the police

you never once mentioned a tattoo.

- I know. I just remem...

- This is the man.

Our investigation was thorough and

state-of-the-art forensics confirms it.

We have to stop this.

Once you begin,

there's no turning back.

That was our agreement, Mr. Archer.

You said you understood.

What if he's the wrong guy?

What you're experiencing

is not unusual.

- I wanna speak with him.

- Speak with whom?

The man I've been torturing.

That is not allowed.

- I'm gonna talk to him.

- Wait a moment.

Let me call Dr. Heller.

Who are you?

Please.

Who are you?

I haven't done anything.

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

I don't know.

Why do you think you're here?

I don't know.

I don't know.

You don't know?

How did you get here?

Two men...

...jumped me.

Threw a hood over my head...

...and I wake up in this chair.

That's all I know.

I'm really sorry...

...what happened to your wife...

...and your kid.

But it wasn't me.

You got the wrong man.

You got the wrong man.

Don't you f***ing lie to me.

I'm not.

- What?

- Dr. Heller is on the line.

- I have no idea.

- I left five messages.

- You can't wait in his office.

- I don't care. I'm gonna wait.

You already said that l...

We both know it already.

I'm going inside. I need to see him.

I need to see him.

Well, I wasn't expecting you.

Sorry if I kept you waiting.

You didn't. It's not my day.

- I'm not supposed to be here.

- Nonsense.

- How are you progressing?

- I'm not.

Nothing has changed.

I don't feel any better.

I'm all talked out.

I've run out of words.

I've been coming to you

for three months.

Every time I come here,

it feels like the first day.

It's always today.
