What's that make so far, Husselbeck? Six hookers in all?
Husselbeck
I believe so, sir.
Inspector Frank Bumstead Give the man an "A" for effort.
Inspector Frank Bumstead You saw something, didn't you, Eddie? Something to do with the case.
There is no case! There never was! It's all just a big joke! It's a joke!
When was the last time you remember doing something during the day?
Inspector Frank Bumstead What do you mean?
I just mean during the day. Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can't, can you? You know something? I don't think the sun even... exists... in this place. 'Cause I've been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here.

Everything Detective Walenski committed to paper should be here.
Inspector Frank Bumstead The only thing that should be committed is Walenski.
Inspector Frank Bumstead I've met quite a few murderers in the course of my work. Murdoch doesn't strike me as one.
Perhaps you are not accustomed to digging deep enough.
Inspector Frank Bumstead Well, I do know when someone is lying to me, Doctor.
Forgive me, Inspector, but you are not a clinician. Judging personalities happens to be my business.
Inspector Frank Bumstead Well, maybe you could give me a few pointers.
Certainly. Let's take you, for instance. You are a fastidious man, driven. Consumed by details. I would say your life is rather lonely.
Inspector, he is more disturbed than we thought.
Inspector Frank Bumstead I may not be the judge of personality that you are, Doctor, but you're the one who looks disturbed to me.
