In this chapter, we learn that the psychologist, Jim Park, has been beaten by his ex-wife. He is now looking for a patient who might be able to help him. He wants to speak to the patient's murderer, but the psychologist is not interested in talking to anyone other than his patient. The psychologist tells Jim that the patient is the murderer himself, and that he would like to speak with him privately. He also tells the psychologist that the murderer is a man of "lack of morality or ethics" , who is unable to "maintain a lasting relationship" .
