The Element of Crime Page #2

He was always a pain...

and now he's chief of police.

Fisher, good of you to turn up.

I see you found

your friend Osborne then.

I didn't see you at headquarters.

Nancy boy.

Funny world, Fisher. You were always

so much more promising than me.

Now I'm chief of police.

Did you know I was the one

who offered Osborne the job,

when he was ditched

from the school?

I've got the world

by its balls, Fisher.

The short and curlies.

This is the clumsiest

police job I've ever seen.

- Shhh.

- Yeah, all right, Fisher.

Let's say clumsiness

is a principle which we use.

There's a special kind of evil

around. You can feel it.

You've seen the changes

everywhere.

Believe me, Fisher, the same thing

has happened in these people.

You know what the Dive is? A jump from

a height with a rope around the ankle.

They call it a ritual.

I call it crime.

We've got to keep them under.

You've always been a good boy, Fisher.

All work and no play.

You want to understand everything.

Why did you ever try for the force?

I didn't think blood

was in your line.

Your people

have never known joy.

You know what this is?

This is the difference

between you and me.

Look out!

Have you gone completely mad?

- Why did you run away?

- I don't know.

There's a girl

been murdered up here.

- I was the one who

told them where to look.

- You're a dreamer, Fisher.

- Did you see who did it?

- No, I just arrived.

Did you know her?

She shouldn't

have come here tonight.

I tried to tell her.

She was my sister.

We sell lotto.

You don't seem to understand.

Your methods

are old-fashioned and too risky.

Lottery tickets?

Lottery tickets?

We're the ones

who are getting killed.

She knew the risks.

Lotto murders.

Someone's killing

the ticket sellers.

So we stick together.

We always walk

in twos and threes.

He said he'd buy a lot of lotto

if she came alone tonight.

She said it was stupid

to be scared.

- Was there a little figure?

- A little figure?

That's his way.

Don't you know?

- Did you see him when

your sister spoke to him?

- From far away.

- When?

- Yesterday.

- Would you recognize him?

- No.

Can I take

my sister's tickets?

Sure.

Shouldn't I have been

informed about this?

I decide what happens.

You don't make a move without me.

I'm your boss now, not Osborne.

So don't step

out of line, Fisher.

When a job like this

really hits the mark,

I've been out there

screwing God.

Look at the lights.

It's okay, Fisher.

It's still okay.

I can feel the talisman in my pocket.

It's slippery

in an unpleasant way.

I've never seen a body

mutilated like that.

The Lotto Murders.

Relax, Mr. Fisher.

You're doing fine,just fine.

Really?
