Okay. Fine.

I have a new tenuous theory.

Let's call it
Tenuous Theory Number Two.

The first set of girls
that were found mutilated

at the zoo three weeks ago
happened here.

The second set, here.

Now, these new girls
that went missing

create kind of
a messy triangle,

was in the middle

Your dad is not the Green Guard
or "whatever his name is."

Your dad is a trickster,
and that I would love him.

He thought it would be fun
to be a do-gooder for a day,

pretend he was this guy.

And with regard
to how he found the girls,

you retold a humorous story
where your dad thought

the killer might be
in the factory area

because his friend Lou...
you referred to him as Louie

at a different point...
got mugged down there once.

Then your father was
walking by a building,

hears girls screaming for help,
at which point you spiritedly

reenacted this moment
in the story.

Thank you for that.

Then your father
called you on the cell.

You told him to call
the police, but he was,

"In it, you know. In it."

Right.

I'll sign that
in front of a judge.

So, you see,
he shouldn't be here.

How long have you believed
your dad was a superhero?

There was a microphone
on his poncho.

I assume he was communicating
with you.

He talks to you
when he's out on searches,

doesn't he, Joseph?

He hasn't hurt anybody.

In the eyes of the authorities,
that is not accurate.

He's injured
countless individuals

who haven't had
their due process in court.

And there was a teenage girl
in this latest incident

- who broke her arm and ribs.
- No.

They would all be
murder victims

if it wasn't for my dad.

It was a vigilante event,
and a victim was injured.

They will claim, in court, that
if they had found the girls,

no one would have been hurt.

Joseph, I only have a few days.

If I don't get him to give up
his delusion, he will remain

in institutions like this
for the rest of his life.

No, he can't stay here.

Some of those climbers

What's your point, Doctor?

It was a practical observation

that produced a practical

Mm.

Then how did he bend the bars?

The iron bars at the zoo?

You did see those, didn't you?

That's not in our heads.

The cages beneath the zoo

were made in 1874
when the zoo first opened.

I was able to bend them by
putting a wrench between them

and leaning back.

Difficult, again, but possible.

No.

What about the shotgun?

He was shot.
Not once but twice.

What does your sleeping mind

We've analyzed the shotgun
