[Don is trying to talk to a distracted Charlie about the case in the back garden]
Don Eppes : We think they have specialized military training and now they have struck again and killed another innocent person, Charlie.
[Charlie continues poking around the garden, looking for who-knows-what]
Don Eppes : Charlie, please don't do this. Do you understand the stakes we're dealing with here? More bloodshed, people's lives. I mean, if I have to do this on my own it's going to put me and all of my people at greater risk, is that what you want?
Charlie Eppes : Their old pattern's gone, I told you...
[Don grabs Charlie by the front of his shirt and swings him around, shaking him in frustration]
Don Eppes : Well then there's gotta be a new pattern! Doesn't there? Isn't that the way it works? You incorporate whatever's going on?
Charlie Eppes : Ow.
Don Eppes : I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I need your help, do you understand?
Charlie Eppes : I don't think I can, that I can...
Don Eppes : Charlie, I know it's hard for you, I understand that, but it's hard for everybody.
[Charlie goes back to poking around the garden]
Don Eppes : You know, I don't know how I got in a situation where I need your help to do my job, but I sure as hell have.
[Don storms back towards the house, then turns back around]
Don Eppes : And I wish you would just snap out of your precious bubble, for once!
[Charlie stays in the garden, looking dejected]
