at the precinct.

Two dealers were booked.

One was shouting, protesting...

I provoked him, he struck back,

so I used my club.

- In front of everyone ?

- No, just his friend.

My partner was out smoking.

Was it hard ?

You know it was,

or you wouldn't have made me do it.

Think I'm sadistic ?

No, I'm thinking about

getting back the robbery money.

I broke a few of his ribs,

and tore his retina,

he'll probably lose the eye.

- I think that's enough.

- Indeed.

- My money ?

- It's coming soon.

When ?

Answer.

- Huh ?

- Answer your phone.

Hello ?

Coming.

It was the precinct,

there's news on the robbery.

You'll get your money.

Or I'll hunt you down.

Don't worry,

this is our goodbye.

- Anything else ?

- Yes.

Another coffee.

You drank six today, that's a lot.

You counted ?

You sit here all day long.

What do you do for work ? I'm curious.

Not much of a talker, I see.

Lemme guess.

If I guess will you tell me ?

TYY'

Okay...

you talk with lots of people,

you take notes,

I think you're some kind of shrink...

You want to create

a friendly environment.

Like those alternative approaches

I read about online.

Am I right?

No.

To be honest,

you seem anything but friendly.

I'm sorry you've gotten

that impression.

"I'm sorry you've gotten

that impression".

I can't figure you out,

usually I'm really good at it

but you're tricky.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Suit yourself.

This skill of mine is useless anyway,

look where I am...

this says it all.

You're unhappy ?

Some question...

It's not nice to ask that.

It's like asking someone's age,

even worse !

Sorry.

Sorry, I'm really exhausted,

I didn't mean to...

Found her.

I went to the address you gave me,

and watched the girl from my car.

She was playing with her dad

in their courtyard.

The girl, her dad, the dog.

It was like my windshield was a screen

and I was watching a nice film.

You could've asked for

a happy family too, with Amanda...

I'm not cut out for that.

What happiness do you want?

I never thought about it...

A family scares me,

I prefer my ladies on the wall.

What scares you exactly ?

Having to take care of someone.

Does someone want to hurt the girl,

is that why I'm doing this ?

Dunno, it's not my problem.

- Whose is it ?

- Yours, and yours alone.

It's up to you

if you'll accept or walk away.

You must rape a woman.

What ?

To get what you want,

you must rape a woman.

I would never do such a thing.

- Okay.

- What's that mean ?

Don't dash my hopes.

I didn't, there's still hope.

Accept or walk away,

it's up to you.

Who are you ?

- That doesn't matter.

- You have a kind voice.

Why ask me to do
