Rust Cohle - If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself

SIDs. What is that? It's a 4-letter word, S-I-D-S, but, I mean what is it? It's an old word, like a curse. Not a language anyone speaks. But it's what happened to Jessica, your first. They said your second, Jody, was 23 days old. The autopsy showed no signs of trauma, so SIDs. I lost one myself, Charmaine. I lost a marriage, too. COHLE: Now your third, and you had him last year. Jesus, lady, you ever hear of a ***' ***? Birth control's a sin. A child is a wonderful thing. [Charmaine sniffles] [Sobs] A child is wonderful. You see, sometimes people mistake a child as an answer for something, you know, like a way to change their story. Charmaine, have you ever heard of something called Munchausen by Proxy? [Whispers] No. At exactly 4:49 AM, the sleep apnea monitor that was hooked up to your child was unplugged for 36 minutes. Then it was plugged back in, and by that time, the child's vitals had flat-lined. [Gasps quietly] Charmaine, I need you to talk to me about some things. OK? [Voice trembles] OK. How's it going? HART: He's getting it. COHLE: You should sign that. [Charmaine sobbing] The newspapers are gonna be tough on you and prison is very very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself. What? [Crying] What? Please. Oh, just wait.
