Hmm-mm.

No, you don't.

Jim, I'm gonna be right back.

I'm just gonna go

and get something

to clean you up.

Just some antiseptic

and a towel, okay?

Hmm-mmm.

What are you doing in there?

Wendy?

Jim, can you go back

in the other room, please?

I have to go to the bathroom,

and I'm not gonna do it

if you're standing right there.

You're making me nervous.

Go back in the dining room.

I don't know... I don't know

what you're talkin' about.

I didn't do anything.

Uh-huh, I didn't

do anything.

I didn't do anything.

I don't know what

you're saying right now.

Not now.

No, I don't know

what you're f***ing

talking about!

Shut up!

Shut the f*** up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

No, no.

No.

Why did you do that?

Why did you do that?

Huh?

Wendy.

They locked him up,

and they won't

let me see him.

It's gonna be all right.

This is probably the best place

for him right now.

What happened?

He came over.

He was bleeding.

I don't know.

I tried to help.

I didn't know...

what to do, you know?

He scared me.

Yeah.

I know what he's going through.

He's not... he's not

a bad person.

He's just...

he's sick, right?

Tell me we're gonna help.

Let me see what I can do, okay?

The police aren't

gonna file any charges,

so he's just here

for observation.

So, can I talk to him?

I'm afraid not.

He prefers not to see you.

He says you're not his doctor.

I'm a social worker.

I have a PhD.

I had a private practice

for 22 years.

Jim was a client.

And when was that?

When he was 13.

He suffered

a psychological trauma.

What kind of trauma?

He was brutally tortured,

he and another boy.

Sexually abused, drugged,

psychologically tormented.

Perpetrator killed

the other boy

while Jim watched.

Perpetrator

was his half-brother.

Jake fled the scene.

Was never apprehended.

He just disappeared.

I think even now

Jim lives in terror

that he might come back.

And does Jim discuss

this fair with you?

He...

he's unable to talk about it.

Which part?

Any of it.

Why do you think that is?

Jim needs good

psychiatric treatment,

not opinions.

Thank you for your help.

We'll take it from here.

Damn.

I missed all the good stuff.

Good.

Girl, we're going out?

I don't think I can

go out tonight.

I'm not feeling very social.

Don't tell me that

that freak is actually

getting to you.

I'm fine.

I just wanna be alone.

Last night you

didn't wanna be alone.

Just wish I had

that affect on men.

Come on.

Let's go out.

I'm not going out tonight.

Yeah.

Whatever.

You know what,

you are such a flake.

Hey, it's me.

Yeah, I...

I need a favor.

Hey, Jim.

Say hi.

Hi.

Can I talk to you

for a few minutes?

Sure.

Sure.

You know why you're here?

I guess I had

a little melt down last night,

but I feel better.

I guess I had

a little melt down last night,

but I feel better.

Good.

Has this kind of thing

happened before?

It wasn't violent or anything.

Never anything violent.

Did you hear voices?

Just one.

Just one.

Did you see a psychiatrist?

He put me on Thorazine.

He put me on Thorazine.

And did it help?

It did.

But it also made me

really depressed,

and then he put me on Prozac,

and I couldn't masturbate.

Oh, so...

I couldn't masturbate.

You couldn't get an erection.

It's very common.

So you stopped

taking your medication?

I did.

Seeing a psychiatrist now?

Right now,

I'm seeing you, doctor.

That's funny, Jim.

Here's what I'd like to do.

I'd like you

to try a new medication.

It has a lower incidence

of sexual side-effects.

And just this year,

they've introduced it

in a long, acting

injectable form.

How's that sound?

Sounds great.

Shall we start

the injections today?

Well, we have to start

you on the pill form, first.

And if we find

that it's working for you

and there are no

serious side-effects,

than we can move

you to the more

long-term treatment.

Okay.

Good.

You can start on that

right away.

Dr. Dubrow?

Are you planning on keeping

me the whole 72 hours?

You know the drill

pretty well, huh?

I guess I do.

I never thought he was violent.

The world is a nasty,

f***ed up place, my friend.

Nothing you can do

to change that.

Go easy on yourself.

Well, I gotta do something.

He's clearly volatile.

And a 72-hour hold

isn't gonna help.

He should be

in long-term treatment

for his own good.

Can't just keep him locked up.

Gotta have a good reason.

Gotta have evidence,

or a judge ain't

gonna buy it.

Thanks.

Excuse me?

Can I help you with something?

I know the people

who used to live here.

Yeah, but what

can I do for you?

I just...

it's important.

I'm not exactly sure

I can explain to you what...

is...

Brilliant.

You're a man.

If you think along with them,

they're the crazy ones.

I know it was you, wasn't it?

What did you do with my dog,

you son of a b*tch?

You're not gonna get

away with this,

you f***ing freak!

Gary.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Hey.

What's up?

I'm fine.

I'm home.

I don't...

think I'm really up for that,

No thanks.

I'm not isolating.

I'm not.

I actually have plans.

My sister's having people over.

Um...

Okay.

Look, I'll call you after.

I don't know,

maybe I'll stop by.

Okay.

Talk to you later, bye.

What is wrong with you?

You scared the sh*t

out of everyone.

Sorry, I just got scared.

Of what?

Mommy, who's that?

Aunt Wendy got startled

by a dog outside.

Go finish your movie.

What is going on?

Is that guy still bothering you?

No.

No, I just... just...

I'm stupid.

I got freaked out.

Wendy has a stalker.

I don't have a stalker.

He showed up at her house

with blood coming

out of his ear,

because he had jammed

something into it.

That's disturbing.

Yeah.

I want a stalker.

Well, I'm just saying.

It's kind of a compliment.

One way to look at it.

Guys, come on.

It's not... it's not that funny,

you know.

He has a serious condition.

You're not kidding.

- What?

- Yeah, what?

Well, I mean this

is really hilarious...

Deb.

No.

Don't do that.

You wouldn't want

someone doing that to you.

Oh, who cares?

They don't know him.

It's fine.

We won't tell anyone.

Yeah, we don't.

Tell us.

Relax.

Just John and Alex

are comin' over for a drink.

Come on, before those

guys walk in here,

and you really get

uncomfortable.

Say it.

Come on, say it.

Say it.

No.

Oh, for God sakes.

And the moment she touched it,

he blew his wad.

Please don't.

Come on, that's not that funny.

A lot of guys have that happen.

What?

Okay, everyone shut up now.

- Jim?

- Shut up.

Jim, we were just...

Shut up!

Shut up!

Just everyone please, shut up.

Stop looking at me.

I said, stop looking at me!

We're gonna tie

each other up now.

Mommy!

It's okay, honey.

We're just playing

a game down here.

Stay upstairs

and watch TV, okay?

Okay.

Please.

Please, don't hurt my kids.

Please.

Shut up!

Okay.

No!

Mother f***er,

mother f***er, no!

Do it.

Kill her, too.

You leave my kids alone!

Mother f***er,
