John Doe: Vigilante Page #4
police force by the media, by the public,
by politicians for not taking action earlier.
Why did it take so long for
the task force to be set up?
Do you want the official story...
or my opinion?
Start with the official story.
Red tape, procedure, and parliamentary signoff.
OK, and what's your personal take on the subject?
John was killing career criminals.
Reality is...
nobody cared...
till the body count started to climb.
"Nobody cared"?
I've got 23 unsolved homicides... here,
my responsibility.
Case one...
The murder of an innocent young woman.
Case two... John Doe's first victim.
Now, you as a taxpayer...
you tell me which one you want me to focus on.
The murder of an innocent young woman
or the murder of a known pedophile?
But what does it matter who or what they were?
People were being murdered.
It's your job to find the killer.
Sure.
But I only work 14 hours a day.
So what are you saying here, Detective?
Are you implying that you, that the
task force could have worked harder?
You could have caught John Doe earlier?
You could have stopped the killings?
I'm saying John Doe got the attention he deserved.
Well, what do you say to the allegations
that you are not the real John Doe,
that John Doe is another man
or a group of individuals
committing these crimes,
doing these killings in the name of John Doe?
Knowing that won't change anything.
What does it matter?
What matters is,
if there are other perpetrators out there,
they would need to be caught.
They would need to be stopped, yes?
If you say so.
Well, I simply can't believe that
you did these killings on your own.
Killing's easy.
It's living with it that's the hard part.
Stop! No more!
No more!
Don't, please! Stop it!
Stop! stop!
Stop it!
They don't look too concerned, do they?
John Doe has been busy lately,
but I've managed to put
together an update for you.
Double murderer...
child molester...
granny basher...
serial date rapist.
Each one of John Doe's victims faced
our justice system at least once.
And each man was allowed to
walk free with a second chance.
Each one then chose to re-offend,
and either got away scot-free,
or were prosecuted and, for some
reason, allowed to walk free again,
to inflict more pain and more suffering.
So John Doe killed them.
Here's why.
Sons...
daughters...
husbands and wives...
their lives cut tragically short by acts of
violence, stupidity, or just plain evil.
Our world is a very different place without them.
And these are the dead that John Doe speaks for.
What did you think of Sam Foley's quote?
"John Doe speaks for the dead."
