You were Malcolm's partner and understudy profiler for months now. Malcolm I thought he loved Dani but then you came along and he loved you as well, that's when he realized he was just desperate for connection and he would not ever admit he liked either one of you for your own protection. he knew his mind was breaking more and more. when his father escaped and he was so sure he cornered his father at the farm but it turned out to be a wild goose chase, he was once again disgraced.
Malcolm went back to his father's cell. Dani and I stood outside. Dani was speaking to someone at the main desk but I felt something off and I went to find Malcolm. he was screaming, his mind whispering his failures, throwing papers, throwing the lamp off his father's desk, he brought down the bookshelf, he ripped up the wrong, he ripped apart the bed and then sat on the floor with his head in his hands. you just stood there watching on the brink of tears. Dani walked in, ever the one to go forward when you couldn't.
Dani: "Bright... I heard what happened at the farm. the surgeons gone."
Malcolm: "so all eyes are on his head case son right? the criminal profiler who couldn't find his own father.
Dani: "no one cares about that."
Malcolm: "I care! I can't live like this... knowing he's out there somewhere... he could come for me at any time."
Dani: "that's not what scares you. what scares you is living the rest of your life without your father in it."
Malcolm: "no, my mistake was underestimating him. it's brilliant really. using the other inmates as a diversion."
Dani: "Bright."
Malcolm: "but to craft an alternate escape plan... Martin must have had another ally... someone I missed."
Dani: "give it a rest. for once in your life slow down and acknowledge what this is doing to you. you know what, forget it."
Dani walked out of the room
