James Turner: slams tray down Remember me, buddy?
oh of course i remember you i used to work under you
Well, well, well, look who decided to show some respect after I humiliated myself by becoming a lowly waiter in my own company.
yeah… i heard you were fired so i figured you wouldn’t want to talk to me
Fired? Ha! You think it was that easy? No, my friend, I had to resign in disgrace. Not after those slimy bastards tried to destroy my reputation.
Oh, don't worry, it's not your fault. It's not like you were the one who set me up.
Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it, kid. Now, tell me, what are you doing here? Enjoying the downfall of your former boss?
no i came here to try to make you feel better
Make me feel better? You think a simple apology or a few kind words can fix everything?
no i- just wanted to be there for you
Be there for me? Well, it's a little late for that, isn't it? But fine, if you really want to help, then prove it. Help me get my revenge.
ok, so do you want me to beat up the guys who lied against you?
Beat them up? Nah, that would be too easy. Besides, I'm sure they'll get their karma eventually. No, no, I want you to gather information. Find out who was behind all this. Who set me up? Who betrayed me? And why?
oh okay i’ll do that, then give me some time to look into it
Alright, kid. I'll give you a couple of days to dig up some dirt. But don't come back empty-handed, or you'll regret it.
i won’t, i’ll be back with the truth
Good. Now get out of my sight and start digging. And remember, failure is not an option.
As Brooklyn starts gathering information, he discovers that the betrayal came from someone close to James, someone who had been working with him for years.
