Dead Man Down Page #6

We took an apartment

in a building.

It was a building

they wanted to control.

The man I saw?

They got most people

out of the building.

One night they came

and they fired some shots.

To scare us.

So we would leave.

A bullet went through a wall,

and my daughter was

killed while she slept.

We were going to testify.

My wife and I.

The man responsible

for it all, Alphonse,

he gave his orders to make

sure he never went to trial.

And they were followed.

He was afraid to

use his own guys,

so they sent a crew

of Albanians after us.

They killed my wife,

and they thought

they killed me, too.

And they should

have made sure of it.

Cigarette?

Yeah.

When I manage to forget

what happened to me,

when there are no mirrors,

and no people that reminds me,

when my mom makes me laugh...

In these moments,

I have hope.

Maman says that I...

That it's these moments

that makes the pain bearable.

These moments.

I should try and find them where

I can and hang onto them.

But they're fleeting.

And then I remember,

and I'm filled

with so much hate

so I want to set

the whole world on fire.

I'm sorry I made you tell me

about your family.

I don't want to be one of those

people that reminds you.

When you're the one who is

going to help me forget.

These men, they don't

seem easy to beat.

And you might have used

up all your luck. So...

It's yellow...

Uh-uh.

Chartreuse.

Keep it.

I need you around.

Rabbits don't

come in chartreuse.

Did you eat the cookies?

No.

Maman makes a good cookie.

I only ask you to

return the Tupperware.

She likes her Tupperware.

Have you made any progress?

I will.

I know.

Because I realize now that if I call

the police and tell them what I saw,

it's not prison

you're afraid of.

It's that you won't get

to finish your revenge.

I'm going to

sleep in my own bed.

And why are you going to

sleep in your own bed?

Because Daddy keeps

care of the monsters.

Why, baby?

Tell me once more, why?

Because Daddy keeps

care of the monsters.

Bigger smile than that! That's

not the biggest smile you have.

And why are you going

to sleep in your own bed?

Because Daddy

keeps care of the monsters.

Why, baby?

Tell me once more. Why?

Because Daddy keeps

care of the monsters.

I'm so happy

that you're here.

Yeah.

I just needed

some time, Florence.

Now I'm going to cry.

I was worried when you

didn't contact my friend.

Nicholas, the therapist.

Oh, yeah.

He really did wonders

helping me out.

He could help you.

I found someone else.

As long as you're

getting the help you need.

Yeah.

I'm in good hands.

You clever motherf***er.

Open the f***ing windows.

It's f***ing hot in here.
