This isn't about me, is it? No, it's about so much more than that. This is about you, your inadequacy. All the games, all the manipulation. After I screwed up your plans, you needed to prove you were smarter than me. You needed to know you could control me.
[Shrugs] Well, you're here.
You know, I've written characters like you. Cunning psychopaths so narcissistic they believe they can't be caught because they're smarter than everyone, and they need to prove it. That's your story, Jerry. Why you did everything. You needed to prove it. So I let you.
What do you mean?
I let you bring me here. It was the only way to find you. I needed to find you so I could find her. But the truth, Jerry... the truth is, I lured you here, to watch you die. [In a deeper voice] Are we clear?
Clear about what?
Then take the shot.
