is still healing.

Oh, sprained ankle

This is not good, John.

Were you drunk, John?

Come on, admit it.

I have been giving

red wine tonight.

I am a man of white wine.

The red is hard on my body.

Too rustic.

In addition to stained teeth.

Have you been to Romania?

They drink much wine and all

have red teeth.

Or maybe eat much red meat,

I do not know but have red teeth

Those are the Romanians.

Magnificent.

Who's Coming to Dinner?

Only old friends.

What do they do?

One is an artist, journalist,

lawyer.

Will you advocate?

Yes. Roman.

It's brilliant

I say that should change

sides, start your own practice

make more money, but it will not.

Matter of principle.

Is a tax attorney?

God, no. He is a prosecutor. Work in

the District Attorney's Office.

Very talented.

You planned a dinner

very nice.

I ... I'm exhausted.

I think I'll go.

I am very tired.

My cousin should be in

home now.

No, do not be ridiculous.

I can not leave you helpless.

Oh no, I will not ruin your dinner.

I'm tired and I'm not that interesting

and guests will have.

No, sit, sit.

It will be an informal dinner.

A little wine, light conversation,

not have to do anything.

My guests are very funny.

Trust me.

You will be captivated.

Seriously.

And then what time

it all starts.

It is assumed that at 8 but as

usual, will come later.

... several robberies including one

$ 300.000 ...

It is so hard to be punctual.

... an unidentified woman ...

A matter of hours,

make a list.

It's not that hard.

Can you keep quiet

in time?

Is flat. It's simple.

- Management planning.

- ... A robbery at an art gallery ...

Shut the f*** up!

Excuse me?

You can be friends with Julia

but do not allow that language ...

... I think it will be better

you go.

There's your f***ing Julia.

Do you mind if I smoke?

Do not kill me, I'll have dinner.

I'll cut your throat, you'll

in the bath, I'll eat your food,

and sleep in your bed.

Do you understand?

I want you to take the phone call

your friends and tell them to f***.

Agreed.

Rupert, I,

if you know you're delayed

no matter, I must cancel.

I have ... a terrible migraine.

Yeah, you could call

others and apologize for me?

No, no. All is well,

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good boy.

Oh, my God.

You ...

... You're bleeding.

I can deal with it ..

Better.

What the hell are you doing?

Cleaning your dirty mess.

I'm not playing

Understand?

Do you understand?

- News?

- Oh yes.

You must be devastated.

Yes, but get over it.

- Hey was brutal.

- There will be 5 games the next season.

I hope you did not bet money.

That would be illegal.

Right.

- What is that?

- Statements by witnesses.

Do we track a witness?

If the cashier. It's who identified

Taylor.

Taylor says he was in several

occasions.

Really?

Taylor has no account, one would

because he liked it.

Asked her out at least

3 times

she received a number

and never called, John stopped going.

Until today.

Is your home phone.

I think that

or is an idiot, o. ..

the game was romantic

alibi to study the bank.

Well, he's an idiot anyway

not give someone your phone

and then steal.

Wore a wig

and sunglasses.

That was ingenious.

Why did you do?

Do what?

Stealing.

Why not win honestly?

I do not care, alone,

I have curiosity.

All the money is spent.

Yes?

Do you know what the hell?

I'm just saying.

Stealing is not the answer.

Okay, so things will be.

I'll kill you

It will be a difficult decision.

But if you're ready,

may change his mind.

To begin with, you will keep your

ignorant opinions to yourself.

Because I do not know.

If you follow my instructions,

and you get out of my way to morning

will not get hurt.

Just help me

overnight.

Right?

Do you understand?

I told them I was going to prepare duck.

They knew it was a special night.

Be here.

They are so unreliable.

I always arrive early.

I'm always on time.

I received many calls,

tasks, we left late.

I'm so sorry, Warwick,

we are tired, we can not go.

It is a scoundrel,

Right?

Yes, Rupert and I have seen 2 times

I can not wait for the DVD.

Why do not you see?

Seriously, you should go.

Well, Rupert, as well imitate.

John.

- Sorry.

- I have not seen ...

Monica, are you okay?

Sorry Rupert.

Sorry about that.

Hey everyone.

This is our new friend, John.

Say hello to John.

Hi John.

Missed a moment.

- Are you okay?

- We were worried about you.

If we were.

- Were what?

- Worried about you.

Take your damn hands

phenomenon.

F*** you!

Manners.

Were you hungry, Rupert.

I swallow, little piggy.

Then Roman,

Any good event recently?

John is interested in the process

in the judicial process.

You know I can

talk about that, Warwick.

It is unethical.

Come on. Just us.

Among these 4 walls.

It is so boring, Roman.

After all we have

real criminal here at this table.

So,

Are you new to Los Angeles, John?

Yes, just arrived from Sydney, Australia.

- Very good friend.

- Chelsea, please.

Get a grip please.

Monica and I went to this exhibition

Caravaggio, did last week?

Ah, yes, how was it?

Amazing.

There are only a few pieces, but have 2

different illuminations

of each painting.

A colorless,

the other ...

If illuminated paintings

detail, thrilling.

I think I have no Caravaggio.

Kidding.

- When painted?

- About 1600.

An interesting character indeed.

It was a pervert and a murderer.

- What was it?

- Well, yes, but other than that ...

Embarrass most

the current criminal.

Sounds creepy.

I think I have a book

somewhere. Wait.

I'll see if I find it.

I love that.

Here it is.

Oh, God. Chelsea.

All right. All right.

Here we go.

John. John!

Yes, I know, poor creature.

Are you going to apologize to Chelsea?

Excuse me?

The Demolitions and

crushed.

Well?

Sorry. Did not see you.

So John, what

of new and interesting?

What is new is that I'm sitting

a bloody lunatic.

There's nothing interesting about it.

I've had worse days

that, Warwick.

Look at this.

I like it.

From midnight.

You know, Roman, I'm beginning

to get your taste.

And the end.

John nervously

a place for you on each page.

Do we record this?

- You mean a. ..

- Strips of the month.

Whatever you

is down.

All right. Call quarter

evidence, tell them to come down.

CRIMINAL MIND:

You're the most beautiful creature in which

has settled my eyes, exquisite.

Sure you tell them that

all the girls.

You're a womanizer.
