Israeli and Ramirez

moving forward

with the insanity defense

that he chooses to establish.

Four women and three men

were found shot to death

in their home...

Fire...

There is no known motive

for this crime.

There is also very little

outward signs of the...

She saw the body of a young man

laying right here...

She saw the body of a young man

laying right here...

Mental illness is the

only... mental illness is

the only accurate explanation.

She saw the body of a young man

laying right here...

Now, this is a very tragic

situation.

Hey.

Dude.

Can you turn it down?

I can't hear myself think.

You gonna get out

of this sh*t hole today, buddy?

Come on, let's do something

interesting for once.

I am doing something

interesting.

At least 19,876 followers

agrees.

Followers.

Come on.

See how normal people live.

She's all right.

Got a sexy little

librarian thing going.

I mean, come on,

she looks like such a nice girl,

but you know, she gets a couple

of lemon drops in her, and then

she wants it in the ass.

Did you not see that?

She just looked at you.

Go say hello.

That's your in, idiot.

Go say hello.

What's wrong with you?

Hey!

That's the way

you're gonna walk?

Huh?

How do you expect

to ever get laid

if the thought of talking

to a chick on the street

makes you wet yourself?

Huh?

Oh, that's fine.

I guess gettin' laid just isn't

everybody's bag, right?

Good thing God invented

jerking off, right?

Ah, come on.

I'm just bustin' your balls.

I know homeless chicks

are more your speed anyway.

Broadway Women's Shelter,

can I help you?

Jim.

Kevin, I... I'm sorry,

I didn't mean to just...

should I just come back later?

No, no.

Just doin' exercises

for my sciatica.

Give me a hand up, would ya?

How ya been, young man?

It's been awhile.

Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

You're fine?

You're fine.

What does fine mean?

I'm good.

Good.

Good.

Well, come on.

Let me show you

what's goin' on out here.

This is Wendy.

You wanna show Jim

what's up with the computer?

So, when you're done,

come back in the office.

We'll settle up, okay?

It's... don't worry.

Don't worry, it's no charge.

You sure?

Yeah, no, don't worry.

It's no charge.

Jim's an old friend.

So don't abuse him too much.

God, I hate this computer.

Old friend, huh?

Oh, yeah, he likes to say that.

You should sit here.

I'll take this.

Do you, um...

how do you like...

Right there.

You see that,

the thing that's blinking?

That's what keeps popping up.

Huh-uh.

That's actually normal.

It's just got a mild

case of bein' a PC.

I like it, by the way.

Working here.

I'm getting my master's

in social work,

so it's really awesome

getting to work with Kevin.

Sorry.

Hey.

This is Jim.

Hey, Pete.

Yeah, Pete,

I'm just with another client

right now.

I'll just call you after.

Sorry.

Hey, what was that?

Just work.

Just another client.

Sorry, I meant your ring tone,

the track.

Was that Aquatic Gabe?

It's me.

That's really cool.

Sounds like something

you'd hear on UK1, doesn't it?

I meant that as a compliment.

Yeah.

And I like some of that... some

of the stuff they play on...

yeah, thanks.

I have to go do

something in the kitchen

right now.

Are we good?

It's all good.

Okay.

Okay, yeah, sorry...

All right, I'll catch

you later.

Thank you.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Hey, Wendy,

can we set up the tables?

It's a...

it's all good.

It's all good.

All good.

Abnormalities present

in all sociopathic humans.

The problem most critics

have with this approach

is that it is derived

from a medical model

that tends to rigidly

classify all clients

as sick, or not sick.

Well, some people are

clearly sick.

True.

But that's not the point.

Who gets to define sick?

Obviously, if he presents

a potential danger to himself,

and/or others...

Okay, but that's every

human being on the planet.

Potential isn't destiny.

And the moment

you stigmatize and isolate

the quote, unquote, "sick,"

you risk precipitating

the exact danger

you were trying to avoid.

Bullshit.

Hey, let's be respectful.

I'm sorry, but it's true.

That is just academic dogma.

It has no real world relevance.

You talk to anyone

in the clinical environment,

and they'll give you

a million war stories

about the nut jobs they've met.

Some people are sick.

And those people

are more volatile

and dangerous than

the rest of us, period.

And with that brief exchange,

we shall...

Whatever.

He waxes his eyebrows.

How smart can he actually be?

So, wait,

she said she likes your music?

You know what the odds are

of meeting a girl

who's actually into that noise?

Not... not very likely.

It's still sort of

a niche market.

That was a rhetorical

question, my friend.

But my point exactly.

We've gotta do something

about this,

or you are never

gonna get laid.

I've been laid.

You count that?

Marlow!

Marlow, come here, boy.

Marlow!

There you are, buddy.

Sorry 'bout that.

You probably just scared him.

He's pretty sweet.

We'll walk that way.

Can you imagine a chick even

walkin' into this place?

I think your head

would explode with shock.

Might figure out

what a social cripple you are.

I mean, it's not like

it's gonna happen

any time soon,

but let's just say...

You should ask that girl

Wendy out.

You listenin' to me?

Wendy.

She likes you're music

for f*** sake.
