like trophies.

Raymond Porter. I wonder whatever

happened to "crime doesn't pay"?

Gee, Delmarco, I don't know.

Whatever happened to

"innocent until proven guilty"?

I mean, do cops

ever make mistakes?

How about you, Mike?

Ever make a mistake?

Yeah, you know

what I'm talking about.

Would you excuse us?

I need to speak with Jessica

for a minute. In private.

OK, that guy, Delmarco,

tends to go off the deep end.

You be careful.

Ray, you got a client

with a string of murders in his past.

Wait a second, every defendant

has the right to his day in court.

That young man

has no prior convictions...

Ray.

He's the guy.

I nabbed him in the act.

Well, sometimes nabbing the bad guy

is the easy part.

The hard part is learning how to relax.

Yeah. Maybe you know someone

who could help you with that?

I think about that night.

I think about it all the time.

Always thought you'd come back...

...but you never did.

This f***ing skell

runs around grabbing up girls,

sticking a knife into them,

murdering them.

Hell, he deserved

a piece of your mind.

Yeah, Ray will say he was cuffed,

and that you violated his civil rights

and all that bullshit, blah-blah-blah.

But the bottom line is,

it's your word against his.

He was resisting.

Remember that.

And that's your story

and you stick to it.

Don't get fancy, don't get creative.

Just stick to your story,

you'll be fine.

Hell, everything's fine.

And what's not fine can be fixed.

Right?

I guess Culter did impact my life.

He got me promoted.

So?

Do I pass?

Well, almost.

There's just one more thing

I'd like to talk about today.

Shoot. I'm an open book.

I'd like to talk about your parents.

My parents are dead.

They were killed in a car crash.

OK. So...

...now that's what you tell people.

Thought this was supposed to be

related to my job.

I don't see what my parents

have to do with my job.

Well...

...25 years ago,

your father went on a killing spree

which ended with your mother

and his own suicide.

And you've devoted your life

to tracking killers

and you don't see how it relates?

You sure?

I barely remember my parents.

I was raised by John Mills,

my father's old partner.

OK, but it...

- It could be your anger problems...

- I don't have anger problems.

I don't have any problems.

I feel fantastic.

Wow.

Aren't you lucky.

What's your secret?

Jessica, listen to me.

My job is to help you

deal with your feelings.

I deal with my feelings plenty.

Hello?

I miss you, Mom.

- Shepard.

- Shepard,

- where've you been all day?

- Mike?

Be outside. I'll pick you up

in 15 minutes.

- We got a 187.

- OK.

- Jess.

- Hey.

- How are you, Wilson?
