- The criminal mind...
For the past 200 years,
scientists, sociologists
and other folks
who've read
about such things
have debated whether
a person commits a violent act
because of their environment
or their biological makeup.
What turns on the red
crime light in a man's brain?
If we find the cause,
can we eliminate the effect?
Can we end violence
now and forever?

- When I first saw you,
I thought,
"What the fuck is
Johnny Basil doing in Oz?"
And then I remembered last year
you went to narcotics, right?
One of the greaseballs told me
your name was Desmond Mobay?
Huh?
[chuckles]
- You gonna blow my cover?
- Depends.
- On what I do for you?
- None of the inmates know
I'm a cop.
It was part of my deal

I got a new identity, too.

- Yeah.
But here's what's curious.
You moved to the city
in December of '97.
These men were killed
in January, March,
and May of '98.
You got sent to Oz
in June of that year.
Suddenly,
the killings stopped.
- What a bizarre coincidence.
- We know you're guilty.
- [laughs softly]
You got proof?
Evidence,
witnesses?
- You frequented
the same gay bar.
- [chuckles softly]
Ah, well, you know,
that doesn't make me a murderer
anymore than it
makes me a fag.
- And yet you are,
aren't you?
A fag?
- [laughs]
- You suck
Tobias Beecher's cock.
- He sucks mine.
- From what I hear,
you and he have had
a pretty bumpy
courtship, huh?
Lots of pain inflicted
on both sides.
You in on this latest round?
- I don't follow you.
- The death of his son.
- Me kill his son?
You're joking, right?
- Now, when have you ever
known the FBI to joke?
[bell rings]
- Lights out!

You been very quiet today.

- Let me ask you something.
What should I do if I ever
find out who killed Gary?
- You should whack him.
I'd help you.
- Yeah?
- Be my pleasure.
What the fuck!
Ah!
- You murdered my son!
[both grunting and shouting]
[buzzer sounding]
- Get the fuck off him!
- You think I'd do that?
- You're capable
of fucking anything!

[indistinct shouting]
- I'm here for my money.
- Pay him.
- You really got a kid
with rotten teeth?
- Yeah.
You should see her mouth, man.
Nothing but decay.
- Genetics?
Or environment?
Like in everything else,
society searches
for the magic bullet,
the easy answer.
'cause the more complex
the answer is,
the more terrified
we become.
Is the root of violence
much deeper,
much darker?
How about pure evil?
[drill whirring softly]
Maybe we human creatures
are inherently evil.
Maybe evil is ingrained,
embedded in our souls.
Flip Wilson used to joke,
"The devil made me do it."
Maybe he was right.
Or maybe not.
- Hello, Hank?
Yeah.
Want you to drop off
the other package
at the grandparents' house.
No.
Alive.
