And what about tomorrow?

Tomorrow, my son

is still gonna be dead.

Tomorrow, maybe my wife

will be gone.

I don't know what to do.

Let's take a walk.

Off the meter.

You have reason to feel the way you do

and your anger is completely justified.

There's a lot of evil at work

in this world...

...and in my practice

I see it all the time.

Too often it goes...

...unpunished.

If there was a way...

...to find out

and punish the man who did it...

...would you be prepared

to go all the way?

All the way?

What I'm about to say

may surprise you...

...considering it comes from me.

I'm listening.

In cases such as yours, I find...

Bizarre as it may sound.

- That there is only one way to exorcise

those demons that torment you.

What is it?

Putting you and him

in the same room...

...alone.

And the rest is up to you.

How could you do that?

Oh, it can be done.

It's expensive.

Not without risks.

But it can be done.

Hello, it's Dr. Heller.

We got a problem.

I'm on my way to see you right now.

Do nothing till I get there.

Do nothing? Too late.

This business about the tattoo...

...talk to me about it.

The man who attacked me had a tattoo

on his right wrist. He doesn't.

Well, it sounds like your subconscious

is at work here.

No, that's not it.

I know he had a tattoo. I know it.

Now, wait, wait, wait.

Just listen to me, please.

You must be careful.

They're watching

every move you make.

Now, sit tight. I'm on my way.

We'll work this out.i/

I promise you.i/

All right.

Just hurry.

Please.

Could you take the nail out?

This is gonna hurt.

Now what?

We wait for my shrink.

A package will arrive at your home.

Inside will be a cell phone.

Charge it up, turn it on

and then you wait.

A call could come that night

or next week or even in six months...

...but it will come.

And then you must follow

their instructions to the letter.

It's very important that you never

waver, and do exactly as you're told.

These men are to be respected.

They are very serious people...

...and they believe in what they do.

Who are they?

They prefer to maintain

an extremely low-profile existence.

Doc, I'm paying a lot of money

for this.

Who are they?

Well, let's just say

that they're composed of former...

...and I believe current

law-enforcement officials...

...who share one interest in common.

They want to see justice done.

They see a legal system

that is failing miserably every day.

It's their city.

They want to rid it of the kind of scum

that destroyed your family.

You can understand that.

So that's it?

I mean...

...when do I see you next?

- That's entirely up to you.

But I do believe, for the moment,

that's it.
