Now, don't try and fool yourself.

None of this

is going to bring back your son.

But when you realize that what you did

had to be done and you walk away...

...you'll know that the book

has been closed forever.

You can get on with your life.

And...

...good luck, Tom.

- Yes.

- Stop breaking the rules, Mr. Archer.i/

Where's Heller?

- Enough, already.i/

- Just bring me Heller.

Put his gag back on.i/

Just bring me Heller!

Could you...?

Could you get me out of this

f***ing chair, please?

You know I can't.

- I'm innocent. You know that.

- I don't know sh*t.

Yes, you do.

- You just said it yourself.

- Shut up.

Who the f*** are you?

Who made you God?

The man who took my son.

That wasn't me!

Archer, this is Dr. Heller.

Let me in, please.

- Are you alone?

- Yes, I'm alone.

Just open the door, please.

- Do you know what you're doing?

- I don't.

You took his gag off and the camera.

- Why?

- Time.

- I need to talk.

- They're concerned, Tom.

- They're very concerned.

- I don't think it's him.

Maybe the stress

has been too much for you.

- But this is truly the man.

- No, I'm not.

I'm a father just like you.

I don't belong here.

Listen, listen, my friend.

They have assured me that this is

the man who destroyed your family.

They assured you?

What the hell does that even mean?

How are they sure?

How do they know?

All right. All right.

Here's what I do know.

He's a career criminal,

a repeat offender, a killer.

A paid killer.

They compile lists

of such individuals...

...individuals who have escaped

from justice.

They track them, they monitor them.

Did he tell you that he was picked up

off a street?

Plucked like an apple from a tree?

Oh, no. No, no.

That man has deserved everything

you gave him tonight.

That I can guarantee.

You came here to right a wrong.

Yes?

Well, this is your enemy.

He deserves to die.

All right.

All right.

I'm no saint whatsoever.

But I don't kill kids.

I don't beat women.

And I don't have a f***ing tattoo.

I have a son I love very much.

I'm a mechanic, that's it.

That's who I am.

They've got my 500,000.

Tell them to keep the money.

That's fine with me.

But I paid for this and it ends

when I say so.

Oh, no, no, it's far too late for that.

My dear friend, don't you realize...

...that what's been set in motion here

can't be stopped?

They're not gonna let

the two of you just walk out of here.

I've told you, these people are serious,

deadly serious.

Even if he wasn't the guy,

they don't care.

As far as they're concerned,

he's guilty.

And he is, or he wouldn't be here.

And admit it.

In that moment when he was

the bastard that took your child...
