So, look, I get everybody's all jazzed about that list or whatever, and people wanna do the mourning thing. All good, have at it.

What I'm wondering though, is what we got working to find out who helped the dead dude get that way. Still pretty new around here so I don't know what you got rigged up already, but where I'm from something like this happens we mount up before there's a dead guy number two.

[ so that was... kind of a job application. if you tilt your head and squint. and to seal the deal. ]

Wouldn't mind helping out.

Yeah? So why do you care so much?

'Cos you're not tripping I killed somebody, not really. You're all twisted up thinking I don't care.

[ beat. ] I can read people, too.

[voice]

[He clenches his teeth.]

Because - gauging your guilt is key to assessing the risk of recidivism. If you feel no guilt, then the risk of a repeat offense is high, and I shall have to take that into consideration while judging how great a threat you pose to the people here.

[voice]

[stacked]

Dude, I told you. I don't kill humans, not anymore.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Variations upon the same are spoken every day before parole boards by the most hardened criminals who brim with excitement over the thought of getting out so that they can kill again. I do not put much stock in mere words.

[voice]

[stacked]

Is there a part of me turning myself in you're skipping out on?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[...Oh. Well - ]

A criminal will do anything to reduce his or her sentence, if being caught is inevitable.

[voice]

[stacked]

Yeah, but you totally don't have your mind made up or anything, right?

[ she could easily just explain how much inevitable wasn't on the books, but that would be healthy. ]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Don't speak as though I'm acting only from blind prejudice. I know your kind from many, many years of experience.

[voice]

[stacked]

My kind? You met a lot of seventeen year old chicks who kill vampires?

[ she's not seventeen now, but she was back then. ]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I've met a lot of criminals.

Whatever you say, Beacon Hill.

[ which is her shorthand for 'yeah, and we're all the same, right?' and a side order of 'your judgey face is stupid'. ]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Do not call me that. Don't act as though you've any right to make assumptions about me.

[voice]

[stacked]

Sure thing-- you go first.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I'm merely drawing conclusions based upon the facts you've given me.

[voice]

[stacked]

Yeah, and so am I.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Clearly you're not, since your conclusions are wrong.

[voice]

[stacked]

Gee, why does that sound familiar.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Don't be glib. You do not know me. I've collected enough information that I can draw conclusions about you, but the reverse is not true.

[voice]

[stacked]

Oh yeah? Prove it. Tell me how it went down, then.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...I don't need to know the precise details of how it happened.

[voice]

[stacked]

So gimme big picture then. If you know it all already.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[He scowls.]

You killed a man. I need know nothing more than that.

[voice]

[stacked]

That what they teach you in law school? 'Fuck it you killed him, guilty and sick until you die'.

Nice school.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[Brittle:]

It's the only school I ever needed.

[voice]

[stacked]

Popular guy like you? Never would've guessed.

[ now she's just digging back. ]
