Damian Young: Therapist

Quotes 

• 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.
