- Do you wanna put him back in?

No, take him out of it.

Take him upstairs

and check his vitals every hour.

Now that's, I think, the context

in which to view what's going on.

Perhaps you may have seen a lead story

in The New York Times.

Good morning, Dr. Lorenson.

You're the cop killer, right?

- That obvious, huh?

- TV, you know?

Helps soothe an active mind.

I'm Rudy Mackenzie. Welcome.

Listen, I...

- I don't really feel like talking.

- You know, that's a shame.

I don't believe

in disposable language either.

You know, small talk, little talk,

chitchat. Useless.

The game.

The game's something else, though.

This here is our court.

I'm ready to throw the ball. Come on.

All right.

What are you in here for?

- I tried to kill my wife.

- Don't you go to jail for that?

Yeah, well, I tried, like, 30 times.

I never planned on doing it, you know?

It was always

in the heat of the moment.

And she kept threatening

to have me put away until finally...

...she did.

- Thirty times might make you seem crazy.

- Yeah, or just... Or just plain stupid.

Because you'd think by the 20th time,

I would've found an alternative method...

...or maybe a more effective one.

- Morning, gentlemen. How you doing today?

For me that is a really

difficult question, Dr. Lorenson...

...because the world around me is shrinking,

and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...

...are coming to see me today,

and they're not bringing flowers...

...which just makes it really difficult

to get organized.

And you, Mr. Starks?

- I'm fine.

- So you're okay?

You tell me, doc.

You think there's

something wrong with me?

You're a little underweight.

Maybe I'm working it off in my dreams.

Done with the small talk?

Hey, it's okay.

Mr. Starks, glad to see

you're cooperating this time.

We're here to help, Jack.

We're only doing what's best for you.

Hold him while I get the tranquilizer.

- Get him down. F*** the tranquilizer.

- No.

No, that's not necessary. Get him up.

Nurse, get the jacket.

The only thing

your mind's missing's a conscience.

Wait. Dr. Becker, how long

do you want us to leave him in for?

Just strap him in for now.

Help. Help, please.

Motherf***er.

Let me out of here.

Let me out of here.

Let me out of here.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

- Listen, I hate to bother you.

- Then don't.

But what about Starks?

What about Starks?

Should we be just...?

Should we be trying to help him

any way we can?

- Yes.

- Should we be leaving him in there like that?

The medication I've given him

is intended to adjust...

...maybe even reset, his violent proclivities.

Peel away some layers of hate.

The apparatus is merely

a safe place for that to happen.
