Rest assured, I won't be pulling any vigilante nonsense.
I'm very sorry for your loss, and I'm glad you see it that way. There's no upside to taking the law into your own hands. Revenge truly doesn't work.
Well that's just a sweeping statement, isn't it? I'm sure we can all think of examples where revenge has worked splendidly.
Thanks for your input.
Just saying.
Examples where revenge worked splendidly. Nice.
I was just teasing. A little hypocritical to lecture him on revenge, don't you think?
How's that?
Uh, all these years you've been helping me seek revenge?
Well that's different.
How's that?
I'm in control of the situation.
Oh, really.
What do you mean, "you're in control of the situation"?
When the day comes when we find Red John, I'm gonna be there to stop you from doing anything foolish. We're gonna put him in front of a judge and a jury.
You really believe that?
Yes, I do.
Really? I just assumed you took that judge and jury stuff with a grain of salt.
Well, you assumed wrong. No salt.
You know the reality will be different. Red John is mine, and I will exact my revenge on him.
I think when the time comes, you'll see that violence is not the answer.
I had no idea your naïve idealism was so deeply felt.
