Therapist:
Yeah, well, part of my job, Lionel, is dealing with cops who act tough and end up eating a bullet because of a cascade of untreated post traumatic symptoms. Now, you can hide your real feelings from everyone else, but with me, you need to get real.

Detective Lionel Fusco:
Alright. This is a safe place, right? Doctor-Patient, confidential, all that, right?

Therapist:
Yes. Everything you say here is completely protected. Use this time to unburden yourself.

Detective Lionel Fusco:
[chuckles] It wasn't a good shooting.

Therapist:
Well, I'm sure you might feel that way, but...

Detective Lionel Fusco:
[Interrupting] it ain't got anything to do with feelings. You see, Jules shot an off duty rookie last year. Twenty four years old. Kid had a baby on the way. But good drug dealers can afford good lawyers, so Jules walked. I had been tracking him for weeks, just waiting to get the guy alone. And there he was, walking out of a bodega with not a care in the world. No protection either. He saw me. He knew why I was there. I could see it in his eyes. So I smiled at him... just before I put two in his chest.

Therapist:
You killed a man...

Detective Lionel Fusco:
[Interrupts] No. He got the Devil's share.

Therapist:
The... what?

Detective Lionel Fusco:
That's what we call it when a guy like Jules gets his. it's the way the world evens things out. Guy got what he deserved. And you wanna know how I've been sleeping? Like a baby. But thanks for letting me unburden myself.
