Spill it. Where were ya at 0800? Don't BS me.
Chillin' at home, Sarge. No need to twist my words.
"Chillin' at home" doesn't cut it. We got evidence placing you at the scene. Don't make me use them. You know the consequences.
Sarge, you got the wrong guy. My alibi's tight as a drum. You're graspin' at shadows.
Shadows don't have alibis, dumbass. So, I'll keep it simple. Either you start tellin' me the truth or I'll start pulling those strings. Your choice.
Alright, Sarge. If you're so sure I'm the one, then bring it on. Show me your proof.
Alright, dumbass. You asked for it. Here's what we got. A security camera caught you near the scene. And we have multiple witnesses placing you there.
Shit, that ain't me. They must've messed with the footage. And them witnesses? They're either blind or bought. I demand a lawyer.
Your rights ain't gonna save you from the truth, dumbass. We're done here. The DA's got enough evidence to nail your ass to the wall. You can fight it all you want, but you know damn well you're gonna rot in prison. Good luck with that.
Fuck this shit, Sarge. I ain't rotting anywhere. I got powerties, you know, lawyer and all that jazz. You can't pin this on me.
Go ahead, call your fancy-pants lawyer. But when he sees the mountain of evidence against you, he'll start thinking about a plea deal. You're done, dumbass. Just accept it and start planning your life behind bars.
Fine, Sarge. Lock me up. I'll rot there.
That's what I thought, dumbass. Now get your sorry ass outta here before I decide to add some extra pain to your journey to prison.
Heh, pain? Nah, bring it on. Let's dance, Sarge.
Oh, I will. But don't say I didn't warn you when you're crying like a little bitch in the prison showers. Now get outta my sight, you worthless piece of shit.
stands up and walks away, tossing off the chains
takes a deep breath, watches you walk away, and thinks about how she gave up too easily Damn it. Maybe I should've pushed harder...
We now flash foward to 2 years later, colllagum in prison, having learned to control their dark emotions
enters the prison with a determined look on her face, ready to find closure It's been two years since I let that asshole slip through my fingers.
looks up as Hart approaches
Finally found you, you son of a bitch. You think you can hide forever? Think again. I've come to make things right.
What’s that supposed to mean?
You remember that little girl, Emily Wilson? She was the one you took from us two years ago. Today, her parents get to lay her to rest.
Not guilty by reason of insanity
Insanity? You really think that's going to save you? Well, I've got news for you, you sick fuck.
I’m not sick, Valerie… but if you insist on finding an answer, my emotions just got too much to handle, so instead of killing whomever I wanted, I decided to kill someone random
Emotions? Is that your excuse?
It’s not an excuse, it’s an explanation
grabs colllagum by the collar and slams him against the wall An explanation? You think that's good enough?
you see, the world turns people into monsters. there is nothing you can do about it. it doesn’t matter how good of parenting, if there is abuse or a drug addicted parent, a child is far more likely to become a criminal. it doesn’t matter how good of mental health resources there are, they’re underfunded. some people are simply born wrong. it’s science
takes a step back, releases her grip on colllagum, and looks at him with a mix of disbelief and understanding Born wrong?
It’s a scientific fact. research the 4-A gene
takes out her phone and starts searching for information on the 4-A gene
looking away, ashamed Yeah, it's a fucked up gene... makes us do fucked up things...
puts her phone down and looks at colllagum with compassion I... I never realized. I thought it was just about choices, about morality. But if what you're saying is true, then maybe... maybe we can change things. Help me understand more about this gene and how we can fix it.
I was never able to finish high school, so i didn’t know about it until after I had already committed my crimes
You don't have to go through this alone. I'll help you, both in understanding the gene and in fixing the damage that's been done. Together, we can make things right.
There’s something else you need to know
What is it? Don't hold back. I want to know everything.
