which your wife

assuming she didn't drop

the charges would be...

...dragged through

this nightmare over and over.

She'll be in court.

She'll be questioned by the lawyers.

And even if the DA gets a conviction

which is not guaranteed

the rapist can serve

as little as 11 months

you know which is half the time

you get for tax evasion.

Who are you?

I'm Simon.

I represent an organization that, uh...

that deals with people.

Like the man that raped your wife

we would very much like

to take care of him for you.

I really don't know

what you're talking about.

You know what I'm talking about.

This wouldn't cost you

anything financially.

I mean if you did want us

to deal with this, uh

we may ask a favor of you

at some point in the future.

Look after somebody

for a couple of hours

or break a security camera,

make a phone call or just

something that would help us out.

You...

...you know where he is?

We do but we have a time issue

so, uh, we would have to...

get an answer from you pretty quickly.

Listen.

We're just a few citizens

who are seeking justice.

You know we love the city.

We're tired of watching it go to hell.

No.

No.

Okay. That's okay.

You take care.

Wait.

There's a row of vending machines

in the Oncology Department cafeteria.

If you want this to happen,

select the Forever Bar.

Buy two of them, okay?

Two of them.

And, Mr. Gerard, we never spoke.

You never met me. Okay?

You do not repeat

this conversation to anybody.

- So, you got the healthy ones, huh?

- Excuse me?

I just figured

if you're going to have a treat

you should have

something that's worth it, huh?

Hey. Cool, man.

It's all right.

What the f***...?

What do you want?

You raped a woman tonight.

Your wife?

I have no wife.

I don't know who she is.

My wife was murdered three months ago

by some scumbag just like you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Kirksey Funeral Homes.

The hungry rabbit jumps.

Mr. Gerard?

- Mr. Gerard?

- Yes.

We need you to sign a few more

insurance forms, please.

I talked to the police this morning.

They found the rapist.

He's dead.

Committed suicide.

We'll find a way to get over this

...together.

I know.

- I'm sorry.

- No.

Don't say that.

It's just hard.

Sweetheart, that man is gone.

- I want a new lock on the door.

- Okay.

And bars on the windows.

Will?

Yeah, just me.

- Did you lock the door?

- Doors locked.

I sound like a crazy person.

No, you sound like a person

who's getting over something difficult.

I wanna buy a gun.

We're not keeping a gun in this house.

No guns.

All right. If your stance is not stable

you're not gonna be stable.

Remember feet shoulder-width apart

knees slightly bent.
