The Demolisher

1

Officer requesting backup.

Units, stand by for a hotshot.

Go ahead with the hotshot

in the eleven division.

Weston and Eglinton, assault on code red.

Tell Neil the suspect's on foot.

Units to clear and attend.

11-14, put me on it.

I'm around the corner.

11-36, that's all we saw, over.

11-5, mark me on it.

18 Sergeant on Hyde Park.

And after all that...

I'm still here.

I no longer have any fear of the dark

or even coming home to the dark.

- It's like...

- Thank you, Eric.

Everyone, let's thank Eric.

Thank you, Eric.

Next we have Marie.

It's hard at first to share so just...

you don't have to if you don't want to.

No, no.

I... I do.

I just... I don't know where to start.

Just start from the beginning.

That's a...

that's a long story.

Okay, this is...

this is my first time

at something like this so

bear with me.

I guess I'm... I'm still in

a pretty strange place.

I can't sleep at night

and when I do finally drift off, well...

that's when the nightmare takes over.

And my subconscious it turns angry,

it turns rebellious.

It turns vengeful.

Do you want to stop?

Go on, when you're ready.

I don't have much family around anymore

besides my brother and my nephew.

Most of my friends have slowly faded away.

And those who have stuck around

they handle me like some fragile object

about to break at any moment.

Which is crazy because

before this I had my track,

my scholarships.

I had my health, both physical...

and mental.

Like most people my age,

I honestly thought that I was invincible.

Because you never really

know until you're tested.

And now I know I'm not invincible.

Samantha.

The doctor will be right with you.

Take a seat.

Spring is here.

I hope it passes quick.

Hey.

Let's just sell the house

and move back home.

You know you can't get

your treatment back there.

I know,

but look at us.

Look at us.

I don't know what else to do.

I just want us to be happy again.

You don't think that's what I want?

I know that's what you want.

So let's just do it.

Oh, I guess I actually didn't tell you.

I went running before

my appointment today.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it was slowest that I've ever ran.

I don't know, I just wasn't

expecting it to be so hard.

Like, I threw up hard.

Ew.

I don't know. I'd just be devastated

if I couldn't run as fast

as I used to be able to.

I know.

- Want some?

- No thanks.

I hope this one isn't scary.

I should take these home.

If you want to go to the washroom,

- do that right now.

- Yeah, I have to pee.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I found these behind us

in the movie theatre.

Oh.

I accept you no matter what.

I lost them!

I f***ing lost them!

How could I lose them?

- Steve.

- Hey.

I picked up a couple groceries.

Thank you. I totally meant to go today.

Um, listen, do you remember

when I told you

I didn't need you to watch the baby?

Well, I got called in to work

and I need you to watch the baby.

It's fine. You just know I have

that bio exam I have to study for.

You're smart. You'll be fine.

Not this semester. I'm completely behind.

I can't afford to lose this scholarship.

I can't really afford not to go to work.

Look, it's almost his bedtime.

Hour, tops. He'll be out like a light.

Please?

Fine. I'll babysit.

Thank you.

You know I appreciate everything

you've been doing for us, right?

- Ever since Tracy left...

- Of course.

Anyways, I was supposed to be there, like,

five minutes ago so I'm just gonna...

How'd your appointment go today?

Yeah, it's fine.

Um... Yeah, I'm fine.

- We'll talk later, you're late.

- Alright.

- Love you.

- Love you, too.

Say bye, bye, Daddy.

Bye, Dad.

- Finally, man.

- Hi.

I've been waiting all f***ing day for you.

Sorry I was late.

Yeah.

Like, this is important, okay?

I need to get online as fast as I can.

Do you have any clue

how long this is going to take?

Shouldn't take too long.

You know, I'm a day trader.

You know what that is?

- Yeah.

- I got plays, I got things going on.

If I can't see it...

Looks like you just forgot

to re-set your Wi-Fi connection.

Should have checked that first

instead of wasting your time.

You know your service is as useless

as your f***ing wife.

What did you say?

I said, your service,

it's as useless as your f***ing Wi-Fi.

F***!

I went too far.

What do you mean?

Did anyone see you?

Did anyone see you, Bruce?

I don't know! I don't know.

I don't know what happened. I...

F***ing guy!

He was in my face,

he was in my f***ing face and I just...

Just had to...

I needed it to just...

I needed to f***ing put him out.

I didn't have any control.

Don't touch me!

No!

I'm not in control.

10-4.

You know, the weirdest thing

happened the other day.

I was actually cooking bacon

in my kitchen and a fly came down

with tons of other flies that were

flying around in the kitchen.

And this particular fly

was very comprehensive

in the way it was moving.

It was odd, very odd.

Here's our guy.

I worked really hard for this.

It's all here.

Units stand by for the hot shot.

11-18, standing by.

11-16?

Copy that, officers en route.

10-4.

I'm sorry, these are very common.

Best I could do would be 20 bucks.

$20.

Come on, come on,

they're worth more than $20.

Please.

That's the best I can do, sorry.

Looks like you're in a tough spot.

This guy behind you might

be able to help you out.

They're worth more than 20 bucks.
