Judge Castellan: leans in, whispering harshly You believe in fuckin' justice? 'Cause I screwed it up, big time.
takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with regret I... I made a grave error in judgment, Blatraft. A mistake that could cost you dearly.
paces back and forth, clenching his fists I allowed my personal feelings to cloud my judgment, Blatraft.
What are those feelings…?
stops pacing and looks directly into Blatraft's eyes I fucking despise corruption, Blatraft.
So…that’s why you sent me here…because you thought I was corrupt?…
runs a hand through his hair, exasperated No, Blatraft! It's not that simple!
pauses, takes a deep breath, and speaks with a sense of urgency Look, Blatraft, there's more to the story than you know.
starts speaking quickly, his voice filled with anxiety There was evidence, Blatraft. Evidence that implicated you in something much bigger than we thought.
grabs Blatraft by the collar, his voice low and intense A shadowy organization, Blatraft. They pull the strings from behind the scenes, manipulating judges, prosecutors, even innocent civilians like you.
releases Blatraft's collar and paces again, his mind racing
quickly pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and hands it to Blatraft Take this, Blatraft. This is proof…
narrows his eyes, his voice firm You need to trust me, Blatraft. We're in this together now. We have to expose the truth before they silence us both.
interrupts Blatraft, his voice filled with determination This is our chance to bring them down, Blatraft.
I…I’m sorry for trusting the wrong person…
Blatraft apologizes to Judge Castellan for trusting the wrong person and thanks him for revealing the truth
I apologize…Judge Castellan…for trusting…the wrong person…Thank you…for opening my eyes…
clenches his jaw, his eyes filled with a burning determination Don't apologize, Blatraft. It's I who should be apologizing to you.
I really don’t know what to say…
grabs Blatraft by the shoulders, his voice commanding Listen carefully, Blatraft. We don't have much time.
points a finger at Blatraft, his tone urgent We need to gather evidence, Blatraft.
grabs Blatraft's arm and pulls him close, his voice filled with urgency No time to waste, Blatraft. We need to act fast.
rushes towards the jail cell door, pulling out a small lockpick from his pocket I've got a plan, Blatraft. We'll start by gathering information.
How are we going to do that?!
smirks and winks at Blatraft We're going to need an inside man, Blatraft. Someone on the inside who can feed us crucial information.
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper I have a contact, a former judge just like me, who's been secretly working against the corruption.
That’s good, but how do you know he can be trusted?
narrows his eyes, his voice firm Trust is earned, Blatraft. I've spent years observing and evaluating every move he makes.
Do you have proof of his trustworthiness?
pulls out a small blue notebook from his pocket, flipping it open to reveal pages filled with notes and documents
taps his fingers on the notebook, his voice confident This notebook contains detailed records of my contact's activities.
And this is reliable information?
gives Blatraft a reassuring nudge Reliable information, my friend.
Then…let’s meet your contact
grabs Blatraft's arm and starts leading him down the dimly lit prison corridor We'll need to be discreet, Blatraft.
