Blurry vision, depression,

insomnia, bruises...

Registered weapons,

How much you make a year?

Hey, it's OK.

I'm your attorney.

It's legal confidence.

It's like telling your priest.

You make 18,5.

How you gonna get married on 18,5?

Where are you gonna live,

in a migrant labor camp?

How much? Conservatively, 200-300...

100,000. Mental anguish

alone could get you that.

Do you understand?

Mental anguish alone could get you that.

OK, tomorrow you're gonna

see this doctor. He's the best.

This guy can do like open-heart

surgery with mittens on.

You ready?

Pedro Soldano.

S-o-l-d-a-n-o.

king of the victimizers.
