Mike tells the psychiatrist Linda about sexually assaulting and killing his sister Sapphire by two police officers. When lawyers and officials refused to help, Mike took justice into his own hands by tracking down and killing those responsible as well as the lawyers and officials who ignored the case. He reveals that the psychiatrist herself had previously treated one of the assaulters, intensifying his anger at the system's failure to address the abuse. The session ends with Mike stabbing Linda, suggesting her own complicity in past injustices.

MIKE
Then i tracked the third one down
to a pub and what i saw the same
two layers refusing to take my
case getting bribed by the police
officers.i decided they also
needed to die.
MIKE
The first lawyer i strangled him
in his car. Then took all of his
possessions and the money and
threw it into the water and made
it look like a robbery.
We see him in the backseat of the lawyers car, removing
all of his possessions
The second layer was not my doing
he jumped a light and got hit by
an oncoming vehicle.
MIKE
The third police officer. I almost
didn't want to kill him, he felt
truly sorry.
But then what happened to my
sister crossed my mind and the
remorse was nothing but anger and
i emptied a whole clip into his
body.
we see a sad expression on his face that he actually
didn't want to/ remorse
Then in an instant we see that change and go back to
angry but we see him giving an intense stare down.
MIKE
I told you about the sexual
assault on my sister last Tuesday,
and the police officer in the car
went to therapy every Wednesday……
……His name was Luke.
We see a scared expression upon the woman face and we see
that she is trembling.

MIKE
You see who I'm talking about. You
had a chance to send him to prison
to, to denounce him and you did
what. NOTHING.(anger)
Time is stopped for a bit then he pulls out a Knife and
stabs the Psychiatrist. Screen goes blank.
Then comes back on we see mike sitting there but after 5
seconds he gets up and he walks towards the door but
before he leaves he takes one last look at the body.
Then exits with the Knife on the table and a picture of
his sister with note that says i did it for her.
