"You told her Reddick had a "brain disease."" "Was that just to scare her?" "I told that ridiculous girl people who commit these crimes have a brain disorder." "I never told her that Reddick did." "I wouldn't violate his confidentiality." "Is Reddick a patient or a test subject?" "Buckman:" "Test subject." "I'm studying Limbic Trigger Syndrome." "Certain chaotic violent behavior is caused by biological abnormalities in the limbic system of the brain." "Chaotic behavior like rage killings?" "Yes." "The subjects have lesions in the limbic system." "Over time, they cause partial seizures which are usually followed by the violent behavior."

"I'd be a pretty poor psychiatrist if I allowed someone's weak character to undermine the integrity of my life's work." "Other than the sessions you mentioned," "Dr. Dwyer was alone with Reddick the rest of the time?" "Yes." "Does she have access to the crime reports, or did Dwyer tell her any details of the killings?" "You mean the killer's unique signature?" "No, of course we don't have that data." "And Reddick would not incriminate himself by telling us." "I see Dr. Dwyer had him brought here for medical tests." "Yes." "Under guard, for his PET scan, neurological evaluations." "Were there other people?" "Technicians who might've observed them together?" "Yes." "Obviously." "Yeah, that was a big day when Dr. Dwyer brought in the Motel Ripper the first time." "He's the most famous killer they got." "The first time?" "Reddick had another PET scan?" "Yeah." "They misplaced his first one." "And then, Dr. Buckman said it was blurry, so they brought him back 3 months later." "How was Dr. Dwyer with him?" "Was she friendly?" "Well, not the first time." "But the second..." "She was fussing all over him, holding his coat, getting him water." "Goren:" "That's unprofessional." "I've seen her like that with Dr. Buckman." "But this was different?" "During his PET scan, she held his hand." "I mean, I don't know if he was nervous, but to stand there for 45 minutes holding that man's hand?" "Um-mm." "Holding hands with a serial killer."

"He said he had this lady friend who was living in a dump." "He wanted to show her what a good guy he was." "Kevin took good care of my building, so why not do him a favor?" "This is a girl who had problems paying her student loan every month." "Weren't you taking a big risk?" "Kevin told you what, that she'd do you favors?" "That she was hot?"

"He told me she had a whole collection of erotica on the subject." " ( cell phone ringing )" " Excuse me." "Yeah?" "Hello." "Yeah." "Serves Dwyer right for telling Reddick she had that stuff." "You really think she told him?" "She lives alone." "She had it hidden in the back of her linen closet." "She's ashamed of it." "If she didn't tell him, who did?" "Attorney:" "So, Dr. Dwyer killed Rosa Dern for two rooms with a river view?" "Carver:" "She killed for needs far more basic than housing." "Needs he's uniquely adept at exploiting." "Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr. Carver." "We thought you wanted to talk about your legal predicament." "My only predicament here is deciding which tie to wear at your client's execution."

"Not even if I was going to marry the guy." "Well, I guess I just have a way with the ladies." "Maybe with mixed-up college kids..." "But not Cathleen Dwyer." "You're not that good." "You expect us to believe that little mouse had the idea-- much less the will-- to strangle and stab some poor woman without some input from you?" "You have no idea what's inside that head of hers." "I think I have an idea it's not filled with what you'd like it to be-- dominance, submission, pain." "That's your fantasy, not hers." "No." "No." "She loves that stuff." "She told me once, she let a guy twist her up so much, he dislocated her shoulder." "Attorney:" "Kevin, let's go." " ( door closes)" " Dislocated shoulder?"

"He'd know about Dr. Dwyer's kinks." "He could have been the one who told Reddick." "Isn't that a dangerous thing to tell a serial killer about a colleague?" "Not to mention bad manners?" "Unless you're priming the pump." "I wonder if the university knows what goes on in their research labs?" "Woman:" "The affair was years ago." "Anyway, we're a university, not a monastery." "Eames:" "How have things been between them lately?" "Only one thing I'm aware of." "Two months ago," "Dr. Dwyer asked the Review Board to mediate a dispute with Dr. Buckman." "She wanted to stop doing the interviews with Kevin Reddick." " Why?" " They were making her uncomfortable." "But a few days later, Dr. Dwyer withdrew her objections." "Buckman pressured her?" "The pressure's on for results." "Funding was nearly cut last summer." "Buckman turned things around?" "He made a very strong argument that cutting funding before he had a chance to study Reddick would be a disservice to the community." "The decision was validated when Dr. Buckman presented Reddick's PET scan." "The lesion was clearly present." "Can we see the PET scan he presented to the Review Board?" "I just got this from the PET scan lab." "All the PET scans charged off to the study." "These things aren't cheap. $1,500 bucks a pop." "Even Buckman got a PET scan, and Dwyer." "Looks like all the researchers got one." "They're part of the control group." "Okay, here's the charge for Reddick's first PET scan." "They flubbed it, but they still charged for it." "And here's the second one 3 months later." "Reddick's the only test subject they did twice." "I need to see a doctor." "Moving out?" "Soon enough." "Dr. Buckman, this is Ron Carver from the District Attorney's office." "Yes, what's this about?" "Goren:" "Come on in, Dr. Dwyer." "Maybe she can testify too." "There's a hearing tomorrow on a motion to dismiss charges against Kevin Reddick." "I'd like you to testify as expert witnesses." "You made a speech." "It was at the Harvard Medical School." "Here it is." "You said, "The Motel Ripper homicides fit the profile of rage killings." "And when the perpetrator is identified," "I have no doubt"-- no doubt" ""that he will be found to have a lesion in the limbic system of his brain which triggers his chaotic and violent behavior."" " That was what you said." " Yes, that's right." "At Harvard." "When they caught Reddick, he had the lesion, just like you predicted." "That's what we need you to say on the stand." "Well, the study isn't done yet." "I'm not sure that a court of law is the best forum." "What?" "You already said on record that the Motel Ripper will have the lesion." "I have another quote from you." "Goren:" "Oh!" "Oh jeez, I'm sorry." "We didn't mean to embarrass you, Dr. Dwyer." "( stammers ) W-why would I be embarrassed?" "Well, you had these hidden in your apartment." "You know, Reddick told us you were interested in this kind of activity, to cast aspersions on your character." "Reddick doesn't know." "You didn't tell him?" "Then it must've been Dr. Buckman." "That's why Reddick knew about the dislocated shoulder." " Cathleen, I swear to you" " Goren:" "It's okay." "You were trying to establish a rapport with Reddick-- telling stories out of school about some woman you slept with." "That is absolutely false." "You would know if it's true." "Reddick seemed to have this uncanny ability to read your mind..." "And your desires." "No wonder he had an unfair advantage." "Cathleen, don't listen to this nonsense." "You felt he understood you." "You started feeling attracted to him and that's why you tried to back out." "But Buckman pressured you-- forced you into Reddick's presence." "Why?" "You must've known what he'd do with her." "With her need to submit?" "Buckman:" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Yeah, I wasn't sure either, until I found a paper that you wrote 10 years ago about the Hillside Strangler in California." "He convinced his girlfriend to commit a copycat murder to exculpate him." "That's what he had planned for you?" "To help exonerate Reddick?" "Not because he isn't the Motel Ripper, but because..." "He doesn't have a lesion." "He doesn't have limbic trigger syndrome." "That's ridiculous." "Reddick has the lesion" "You knew, the minute you saw his first PET scan." "The theory you staked your whole career on... was crap." "And sooner or later, someone was going to find out that Reddick did not have the lesions." "So you buried that PET scan, and you gave the Review Board another one from some other subject, to what?" "To buy time, so you could figure out a graceful way to knock Reddick out of your study?" "And you did that by..." "Giving him someone he could dominate and manipulate?" "Who had the mental equipment..." "Who had the predisposition to kill." "Dr. Dwyer, the PET scan-- showing the lesion, on what Dr. Buckman claims to be Reddick's brain..." "What are those faint shadows there?" "They're difficult to see if you're not looking for them." "Those are the cervical vertebrae." "What's that right there?" "An injury to the disk." "Between C2 and C3?" "Yeah." "That's the injury you got when you were roller skating as a child?" "This is your PET scan." "And the lesion?" "It's in your brain."
