00:00Your ability to read people is commendable.
00:03No offense, but you're not that hard to read, Chief.
00:05Don't be so modest. I bet you're a natural, probably why you became a psychiatrist.
00:09You're no slouch yourself.
00:11Yeah, well, I've had a lot of practice.
00:14Survival mechanism.
00:15Shane Sloan attacked one of my officers in your house. He stole his weapon and his car.
00:21And now he's coming for me.
00:22What have you done to make him so vengeful?
00:25What are you talking about? I told him to meet me at my house, remember?
00:28Your officers were waiting. As far as he's concerned, I've betrayed him.
00:32When a stalker who feels betrayed, that's a dangerous person.
00:35Very dangerous.
00:36You're speaking from personal experience?
00:38Yes, I've had my share of problematic patients.
00:40Have you ever stalked anyone, Elizabeth?
00:44Where is this coming from?
00:46Wendell Bryan says you were obsessed with him.
00:50I'm sure he truly believes that.
00:53Did Mr. Bryan tell you he was diagnosed with a paranoid personality disorder?
00:58It's like you scare your target with a diagnosis and then position yourself as the only person capable of helping.
01:06Carl, I didn't stalk Mr. Bryan.
01:09I'm not working for Shane and I'm certainly not in love with him.
01:13Well, I believe you.
01:14I don't think you're capable of love, but you came as close to feeling your version of it.
01:18With Shane?
01:19With Murray Zuckerman.
01:21He had an affair for at least three years.
01:25Serious investment. But then his wife got pregnant.
01:30Murray ended things.
01:32You don't handle rejection well.
01:36The way you're feeling right now,
01:38the frustration, the grasping at straws.
01:43Is that how you felt when you learned Cassandra was abducted?
01:46And it was your fault?
01:47We're not talking about me.
01:48This conversation is entirely about you, Carl.
01:51The way you're perceiving the information, the way you're twisting the truth.
01:54Wendell Bryan described your relationship as a cult leader with a single follower.
01:59And now you're trying to manufacture a cult.
02:01I'm not trying to manufacture a cult.
02:03He described your relationship as a cult leader with a single follower.
02:07And now you're trying to manufacture a villain.
02:09Have you always needed devotion to fill that inner void?
02:12Do you even know why you're so desperate to position yourself as the hero?
02:16It started when you were young.
02:18You found you had a gift for coercion.
02:20And then in medical school, you honed that skill.
02:24What was Wendell Bryan to you?
02:26Clinical exercise? Practice?
02:28You're so desperate to prove to Cassandra that you're a good man.
02:32Carl, she's seen you for who you truly are.
02:36And then along came Murray.
02:39And you felt the closest thing you ever felt to attraction.
02:41And for three years, he was yours.
02:43Until Murray found the strength to end things.
02:45That's when you activated Shane.
02:47An impressionable kid, desperate for love.
02:50You undercut his whole sense of self, just like you're trying to do with me.
02:53You've lost her already.
02:55You know that, right?
02:57Cassandra.
02:59At first, I thought you were trying to help Shane escape.
03:01But that's not...
03:03No.
03:04What do you want?
03:06Apart from total control of those around you.
03:09And I can only guess the depth of need that comes from.
03:12We know what you want, Carl.
03:14Alas.
03:16Cassandra will never unsee.
03:19Shane is not just an acolyte.
03:22You took him, you shaped him as a weapon.
03:25Now he's a liability.
03:28You want him dead?
03:33You want us to do the job for you?
03:36Suicide by cop.
03:42Time's up.
