what you think is right anyway.

[ Fisher ]

We never quarrelled before.

[ Woman ]

He really cares for you, Mr. Fisher.

I know.

He's so scared...

even of the smallest things--

the house and the dark.

He never rests.

He just walks around

up there. Listen.

[ Footsteps ]

Is it always as dark as this

this time of year ?

There are no seasons anymore.

The last three summers

haven't been summers.

The weather changes all the time.

It never alters.

Would he hurt himself?

This morning he asked me to burn

all his books and papers.

Tell me about his wife.

They were married a few years

before she died, right?

Did he say that?

Suddenly, when he came back

a month ago, he was married.

She stayed a week.

She isn't dead.

She just left.

[ Woman ]

Have you seen the child?

It's hers from a previous

marriage. She left it.

How can anybody do that?

Shhh.

There, there now.

Now, now, shhh.

There.

[ Baby Talk ]

[ Humming Continues ]

[ Therapist ]

Talk to me, Mr. Fisher.

[ Fisher ]

I've found the missing tailing report.

Harry Grey has been here

to frighten Osborne,

to destroy any

information on him.

Osborne was getting too close.

I owe it to him

to go on with this.

[ Therapist ]

How can this tailing report help you?

It's a surveillance report

on an innocent little trip...

that Harry Grey took

years before the Lotto Murders.

[ Fisher ] If you'd read

"The Element of Crime, " you'd know.

[ Commotion On TV ]

[ Man On TV ]

Let Osborne speak.

[ Jeers, Booing ]

Let the man speak !

Remember, gentlemen,

we are Europeans.

"The Element of Crime" sets out

a series of mental exercises...

designed to improve our understanding of

the behavioral pattern of the criminal.

[ Man On TV ]

Understanding? Don't you know

what's going on out there?

[ Osborne On TV ]

Next question.

"The Element of Crime"

is a method...

based on the reconstruction

of a known part of a criminal's life.

It is, if you like, a psychological

identification that enables a policeman,

through his own mind,

to work his way into the unknown

activities of the criminal--

to work his way

into the crime in question.

[ Man On TV ]

That's a dangerous way

of reaching understanding.

[ Osborne On TV ]

We always run the risk

of being corrupted.

The morality of the police

is no different from that of society.

[ Man On TV ]

You claim that crime can only

arise in a specific element.

- [ Osborne On TV ]

Yes. Next question.

- [ Man ] Metaphysics !

I never claimed that the method

had been completely developed.

[ Osborne ]

What am I doing here?
