How long do you think it'll be

before Taylor has an accident?

No, he wouldn't.

- Why not?

- He loves her.

He loves her more than anything.

Loves you, too.

Well, that's only when he's been

drinking, and... it's always late.

She's always in bed.

- For now.

- Yeah.

But how long until she gets in the way?

How long until she tries to protect you?

How long before she ends up, in hospital, with

three broken ribs and a fractured skull, or worse?

He'll find us.

I can take care of that, too.

What'd you say?

What'd you f***ing say? Huh? Huh?

Don't walk away from me, you f***ing scrag!

F***!

F***.

Think you're a big man.

John Doe continues on his rampage,

with the police seemingly unable to stop him.

Despite the increased police presence

on our streets and in our skies,

the central business district

is still empty after dark,

and businesses continue to hurt.

In related news, Senator Marlene

Brockhurst was today widely criticized...

0-4-2.

I've just been pulled over by the cops.

Sh*t.

Going a bit fast there, weren't you, sir?

Got your license?

Don't go anywhere.

I think it's over.

That was on the back seat underneath the jacket.

This can't be happening.

I'm not done yet.

You OK down there? Do you need backup?

Negative.

I'm gonna let you off with a warning, Mr. Jones.

Take my advice.

Slow down, take your time.

The last thing you want is

to get pulled over again.

It could really ruin your night.

Thank you, Constable.

Look, I've already been through

this with everyone else.

And if you're here to crawl up my ass for being

the guy who let John Doe go, you're way too late.

No, not at all. I'm just here to ask

why you chose to let John Doe go.

Why would you go and say

something crazy like that?

Well, it seems obvious, looking at John Doe's

footage, Constable, that you knew it was him.

I didn't realize it was him... alright?

End of story.

Go on.

So, what are your views on John Doe?

- Well, I've probably changed my...

- You're asking people about John Doe, right?

- Uh, yes, but I'm just interviewing this...

- Right, well, I'd like to say that I think he is

disgusting, and I think that the police

aren't trying hard enough to find him.

I mean, how many people has he killed now?

- 14? 15?

- 18, actually.

Oh, Jesus.

Well, the streets are gonna

be cleaned up in no time.

And then what is he going to do? He's

gonna start shooting at jaywalkers,

or hammer to death someone for running a red light.

He gets to be judge, jury, and executioner.

- OK, thank you very much for your...

- And that is insane.

- Thank you very much for your...

- That's wrong.

Sorry about that.
