"So she killed him." "Hence, the jackal." "Yeah." "Yeah, well, the gloves that we found next to the body are a bit of a concern." "The evidence found underneath the fingernails could've been planted." "And not to mention the fact that she hasn't ever confessed to killing anybody." "Foul play could still be involved." "We're waiting on the forensics of the gloves to get back from the lab." "But the real question is, where is that white scarf?" "What?" "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Heh." "I made a few calls." "You were suspended twice from your duties." "Disciplinary action." "D.U.I., probation." "Are you still on probation?" "I am in the middle of a case right now and I'm very close." "Is that a fact?" "Are you covering something up, detective?" "What makes you think that?" "I should call the police, but I won't." "Get out." "Don't." "Detective?" "The lies I've told are to cover the truths I've lived." "The person at the lake was a patient that escaped." "And the jackal killed him." "Detective!" "And soon enough, I knew why." "That's enough, detective." "The doctor pins murders on his patients we're done here." "Let's go." "And he uses the pills to make us feel like we're guilty." "( Door buzzes, opens )" "Save me." "May?" "I was him." "How can I compete with your boy?" "Stop flirting with the sickos." "You hurry up." "We have a tennis match." "Make sure you tell them, detective, about him." "Still going on about that?" "Time for your rest, may." "Unh-unh." "Unh-unh." "Not today, not today, Barbara." "Okay." "Just today." "I love you, may." "( Door buzzes, opens )" "Yes, Dr. Ballard?" "Barbara, I'll be out of town for almost a week." "I have a patient I have to bring in." "Make sure that may takes her medication." "For sure, Dr. Ballard." "You saw nothing." "You heard nothing." "( Animal squeals )" "Goblin, do you think he'll visit today?" "May:" "We found poetry in the islands." "My eyes, once opaque, were suddenly colored bright in a hue of beaming happiness." "He awakened a vision of a new world and ultimately a new me."
