Birdshot Page #5

I just thought

Did you see something?

Do you know who this is?

Where did you get that?

What's going on here?

Good day, sir.

We're from the town precinct.

- We just need to ask you a few questions.

- Maya, leave us.

Have you heard gunshots

these past few days?

I don't recall.

Do you know anything

about the missing eagle?

- The one that was electrocuted?

- The one that was shot.

Obviously the one that was shot.

That's why we're asking

if you heard gunshots.

You're the only ones

living near the sanctuary.

Are you sure you haven't heard anything?

I'm just the caretaker here.

News like that never reaches me.

Do you know who this is?

No idea.

- But your daughter was

- She knows nothing.

Stop that Domingo.

- But, sir

- We're not here for that.

- He's one of the missing passengers!

- Focus your attention here, Domingo.

We're not being paid for that.

Not in front of mister

Diego, sir.

You're good with animals.

Have you ever been to the sanctuary?

Never.

Lots of kids your age go there.

Usually during school trips.

Do you go to school?

Come here, Bala.

Interesting necklace.

Where did you get that?

You told us you're a caretaker

Do you own a gun? No, I don't.

I don't need one to do my job.

Why don't you come with us

to the precinct?

So we can write down your testimony.

And leave my daughter here alone?

It's going to get dark soon.

Your daughter is all grown up.

She can handle herself.

Come with us, it'll be quick.

Tomorrow.

First thing in the morning.

I will be there.

Is there anything else

I can help you with? I have work to do.

Diego.

We'll be expecting you tomorrow.

Got me?

We'll be expecting you.

Sir!

These cops will do anything

and blame anyone

just to say they're doing their jobs.

Did I do anything wrong?

It's not our fault.

We're not at fault.

Diego is a bad liar.

He's different.

- Different?

- When you've been doing this long enough,

you will learn to see people differently.

No matter how they may look like.

Everyone is hiding hatred

inside of them.

Everyone is a ticking bomb.

And when triggered,

we all go mad.

You see this?

This happened between Christmas

and New Year.

Young kids would go caroling outside.

One night the doorbell rang as usual,

so I opened the gate.

They were just kids,

maybe five or six of them.

All of them just kids.

While they sang,

I had no idea

some of their accomplices

were already climbing up

the back of our house.

I finally stumbled

upon those pesky thieves.

One of the devils jumped me.

And stabbed me here.

A kid stabbed you?

I was jumped and caught off guard.

Weren't you listening?

That's why you shouldn't

underestimate anyone.
