As a boy, Infinity was forced to listen while his father raped his mother.
That explains the pathology, but I don't think any of that was in the books.
Ben Stone knew that?
My father was obsessed. He kept everything, letter after letter. Look, Infinity even sent him a Father's Day card.
[reading] "Dear Ben, a happy Father's Day. Signed, the Infinity symbol". Take a look.
[moved] Ben Stone kept this?
Yeah, he did. He kept it in an evidence file so it wouldn't smudged or torn. Of course, the idiot sent a card with golf clubs. My father never played a game of gangry]olf in his life.
Infinity couldn't have known...
Right, because he knew nothing about my father.
They had a relationship!
There was no relationship.
All those hours Ben Stone spent on the case. He spent more time with Infinity than with his own family.
Ben Stone cared about the women who were raped. He cared about getting justice for them. You're confused.
If you thought this was about you, then you're more insane than I thought.
No! That's not true! I know!
You know what?
[pause] I would wait outside the D.A.'s office until the light in his office went out. Some nights, he wouldn't even get in his car until after midnight. It was me he cared about, not you! Me! It was me he loved!
