Acts of Vengeance Page #3

Open this door now!

Open this door

right now!

Woman:

I just want to see my son.

Take me to see my son.

Man:

Get your hands off me!

Hey! I didn't do nothing,

goddamn it!

What'd I tell you?

Why don't you just

let me go, man?

Cuff him!

Motherfuckers!

Calm down!

You need some help?

Man:
F*** you!

Policeman:

Calm down!

Policeman 2:

Keep moving!

Frank:

I wanted to narrow

my pool of suspects

by finding out

which officers were on duty

the night shivers

witnessed the killings.

And of those officers,

which one had been assigned

to patrol that

particular district.

I was surprised to discover

a familiar face.

Could it really be him?

Man:

Show him what you got!

Woman:
Hit him!

I followed Payton for

seven whole days and nights.

I chased him

as my demons

were chasing me.

I even alternated

between cars,

as to not arouse suspicion.

Night after night,

day after day.

All the while wondering,

if this man truly was the one

who had killed

my wife and daughter,

then why?

So I kept watching...

Trying to find an answer...

A sign...

Or maybe a mistake.

Found these tiny

gold fibers.

Gold fibers?

Yes, officer?

Can you please pull over

on the next road?

Olivia's voice:

Mommy!

Frank:
The case is dead?

Strode:
It's not dead,

it's just cold.

This is a way of twisting

words around.

I made a lot of money

doing that.

Now you know why

i did it, frank.

Some creep you put

back on the streets...

Killed my little girl.

Twelve years old, frank.

Murdered by a guy

who should have been

behind bars.

This is where

they died.

Your wife was

a fighter, frank.

But your little girl...

Well, she was

screaming,

crying for her daddy

to come and save her.

But you didn't.

Where were you, frank?

Where were you?

Frank:

I wanted nothing more

than to kill

the human monster

before me

but that would make me

no better than him.

Because the greatest stoic

of them all has said,

"the best revenge

is to be unlike your enemy."

Woman:

What do you think

about the verdict?

The evidence against officer

strode was overwhelming.

The department is very happy

with the verdict.

There is nothing worse

than a bad cop.

Man:
Detective, were there

other cops involved?

Lustiger:
No, there's no

evidence supporting that.

Frank:

Justice had been served.

I had tried

to make things right.

But I knew that nothing I did

would ever bring them back.

And I could never go

into the past

to be there for them,

like I promised.

If I could,

I would tell my daughter

that she was right--

I loved her performance.

And I would tell them both

the words

that still matter

the most,

among the thousands

we speak every day--

I love you.
