Recap

Doug Linman and his wife Jane watch their son Jeffrey play Little League baseball, but she can't take the excitement and leaves. Doug then talks with his father about Jeffrey's batting technique, and his father finally tells Doug that he "knows what he has to do." Doug picks up a baseball bat, goes over to the concession stand where Jane is working, and beats her to death. Doug then walks back to the stands, covered in blood but totally unconcerned...

Episode Quotes
Repeated line: You know what you have to do.

Carl: (opening voiceover) In nightmares they intrude from places beyond our imagining. Demons, monsters, killers who strike with no remorse, or reason. In our waking hours we look over our shoulder, out the corner of our eye, alert to the stranger who might attack without warning. But in all our lives, there is a greater danger, one even more terrifying for being unexpected. Not the killer we fear, but the killer we trust.

Vincenzo: Ghosts, Carl? Is that what you're asking detectives about?
Carl: I don't actually recall using the word "ghost."
Perri: No, "dead man. Largish ears."
Carl: Yeah, I did say that.

Carl: A man doesn't suddenly break from reality, kill his wife, and then tell some crazy story to explain it.
(everyone looks at him)
Jain: Okay...

(about Perri)
Carl: How's she doing?
Jain: She seem agitated. What if she stabs me with her letter opener when I'm not looking?
Carl: Well, I think she'll only go after people she loves, Jain. You're pretty safe.

Carl: (closing monologue) I spent long hours looking outside for answers. But there is a deeper understanding hidden inside, about the darkness that resides in each of us. And how far we would go to get back what we can never recover.
