[Gabriel is backed into a corner of his North Wing cell, wet and miserable and shaken up, but he's still trying to hold it together, even while he's doing it with duct tape and prayers. Unfortunately, right now there's a doctor in his cell. A very creepy ghost doctor. Gabriel's staring up at him like he's been expecting something like this to happen. He's unamused, but unafraid, by all appearances. He has the video on his journal on, but all you can see is him.]
Gabriel, do you remember why you're here?
Well, Doc, it all started when you mooks nabbed me outta my cabin on the good shop lollipop.
[The doctor chuckles.] Your brothers warned me about that.
[Glaaare] You don't know my family.
They were here just the other day. They were disappointed when you said you didn't want to see them.
If you don't wanna find out if ghosts can have their limbs rearranged, I'd stop talking. You know what I am. Give me ten seconds on a full battery and I'll tear this place down to studs, you prick.
Those violent tendencies again... and delusions of grandeur. You're not making any progress at all.
Shut up.
You should talk to your brother. You know, he forgives you for trying to kill him.
[Gabriel stands at that.] Lucifer killed me. [It doesn't even matter to him that this is public. He's losing it and trying not to.]
Religious visions. You still think your brother is the devil? And that you're an archangel who ran away from Heaven.... And a Trickster, as well. Your brother was trying to stop you from killing more people.
[Gabriel's starting to get panicky now] You... Did someone slip a roofie in your coffee, asshole? I'm not a serial killer.
But you are, Gabriel. You gruesomely murdered four people.
No. You're getting it all wrong-
Did you or did you not?
Yes! Okay? Yes, I killed them. But-
A professor in Springfield, Ohio. Killed by defenestration.
No.
Another professor from the same campus. Torn apart by some sort of wild animal that you set loose on him.
[A horrified laugh.] No. That's not-
Daniel Hasselbeck-
Wait. Wait. You can't-
-thrown into a mineshaft.
Okay. I am way more creative than that.
And another man in Wellington, Ohio. You decapitated him.
I did not. What the hell?
I'm sorry, Gabriel, but until we see some progress, I'm afraid you're going to have to remain here.
No. You son of a bitch. You- [He lunges, dropping the communicator in the process and there's a sudden THUNK, like someone ramming into a wall. After a moment, Gabriel's feet some into view and he kicks the communicator. It clicks off. Thankfully, it's... Not broken. Just very traumatized.]
