Dear Dictator Page #7

---

- Not a tank.

- You're hiding something!

- What is it?

This is Detective Spano.

You got anything solid?

We got nothing.

Nothing here.

We're out of here.

You're free to go,

but that doesn't mean you're free.

- We'll be watching you.

- Yeah.

You heard what they said. Come on.

I am hiding something.

- Assault rifles.

- Missiles.

I'm not hiding weapons, you morons.

I'm hiding a man.

No, Mom, I'm doing this!

No, my daughter,

she's under duress, and she...

Anton Vincent has been living

in our house.

No! Don't listen to her.

You said it yourself...

She believes he's writing her letters.

She's delusional!

You're the one who's delusional, Mom!

Can't you see that

he wants us to turn him in?

You can't see what he's capable of

- 'cause you're in love with him!

- I am not in love with him!

What do you think? He's gonna move in,

fix all the broken sh*t,

he's gonna screw you

and ask you to marry him?

Shut up!

Um... you still got a 20 on the grandpa?

Wow. This is a lot nicer than

the rehab centre my mom went to.

Yeah, it's pretty nice.

So, he told them

he was holding us hostage,

and forced me to do things

I would never do,

so basically, they dropped the charges.

- Sounds like an upstanding dude.

- Kinda, for a dictator.

- So, um... about Sarvia...

- Yeah. I'm an idiot.

Um, listen, if you really liked her,

she seems like a nice girl.

- Maybe I didn't give her a chance.

- You gave her a chance.

And she's not so awesome.

Did I wreck everything?

If there ever was a chance

for me and you, did I blow it?

No.

But maybe we should take it slow,

you know, see where it all goes.

- Slow's good.

- Yeah.

- Ow.

- Sorry.

- Kidding.

- OK.

They're not torturing you, are they?

Only the food.

It's worse than your mother's.

"I am tied to the stake,

but I stand by a cause."

Hamlet.

King Lear. More apropos.

- Ah.

- This might help.

Delicious.

I wrote to my daughter.

I only did it because of you.

I'm the one who turned you in.

I know.

It's your fault. You're the one who told

me to stand up for what I believe in.

I'm proud of you, Tatiana.

Why?

Because you became a rebel.

You found your voice.

Use it wisely.

How'd it go?

Did I do the right thing?

Not that I have any experience with it,

but...

if it was hard,

it was probably the right thing.

I gotta make a stop.

- Where?

- Charles.

Seriously? You're not making me

spy on him again...

Pipe down.

It's a different kind of mission.

- OK, everything's looking...

- Charles?

Darlene!

You said you didn't want the Saturday...

I don't want any shift.

I'm here to quit.

FYI, your dentist here,

he likes to suck feet.

Anton Vincent was extradited

to his homeland today.

Charged with crimes against humanity,

the one-time strongman

will face a military tribunal.

A coup forced Papa Vincent,

as he was known, into exile.

He fled to the US, but was captured

when his mother-daughter

hostages managed to escape.

On Scene Now News

is live with reaction.

You girls have been through

a huge ordeal.

Do you care to comment?

- It's been completely life-changing.

- I honestly think I have PTSD.

You'd think the leader of a country

wouldn't cyberbully, but he did.

He seemed like a pretty nice guy,

until he did this to my ficus.

You don't even want to see my lawn.

And I think he stole my lawn mower.

Come on.

Let's eat.

- Mole Maria?

- In honour of him.

Hmm. This actually isn't half bad.

A compliment.

Relax. All I said was, "Isn't half bad."

Not half bad... is half good,

so I'll take it as a compliment.

I guess your pal got his pen back.

There's one for you too.
