Munch and Fin question different employees about Ryland. Every opinion seems to point to one conclusion. She's a ticking time bomb, and always ready to explode. They are waiting for their interview with the supervisor, Dr. Wesley Doyle.
Munch glances over at his partner, " So, since you aren't willing to take the forbidden fruit bet…"
"Come on man. I'm telling you. Never, not in a million years."
"No. I was just going to ask you about Stabler's daughter, Maureen."
"She's cute and all, but I value my life…and my balls."
"Now that you mention it….I also value my life, but I'd have to fight off my ex-wives for custody of my balls….but I was asking about her conviction. Still think a user is still just a user and not a victim?"
"But this is different…this is Stabler's kid. Maybe just maybe she's a victim…of course, if she kept on like a typical x junkie…she could have ended up in here."
Munch nods in agreement. Just then, the detectives are asked into the office. The men exchange handshakes. Dr. Doyle offers them a seat.
"Good afternoon, Detectives. I'm Dr. Doyle."
"Detective Munch and this is my partner Detective Tutuola."
"Still investigation I see…."
"Yeah. We need to ask you about Ryland Somerset," Fin states.
"Ryland? What about her?"
Munch adds in, "How well do you know her?"
"How well do we really know anyone Detectives?"
Fin rolls his eyes, "Don't wax the philosophical with us…"
"Well, to be honest. I usually go out of my way to avoid her."
"Why's that?" Munch asks.
"She just strikes me as a little….well, she's an angry girl. Look, I really can't say…it's not my place."
"Doc….don't jerk us around." Fin cautions.
"If you really want to talk about Ryland, you should talk to her parents."
Munch takes a mental note, "Is there anything you can say about her?"
"Ryland is an angry girl and is almost on her way out of here because of her attitude. She thinks she's above everything….including the law."
