Jordan told me she'd sit in a room...

and watch cartoons all day...

and she'd eat ice cream

and we'd have her back in two days.

He lied to me!

That's why he's f***ing dead!

I did it!

I did it, Lisa!

I agreed to the kidnapping.

I did it for us...

for the three of us.

I'm so sorry, Lisa.

[Lisa Shuddering]

You kill him.

You kill him or I will.

Huh. You know, they say a, um...

a bullet always tells the truth.

It never lies.

- It didn't work for me, Samuel, but maybe...

- [Shudders]

maybe it'll work for you.

I'll pray for you.
