Hello Mrs. Shrike. I come to give you the rent.
And so early.
Oh Mr Reznik I only wish all my tenants are considerate as you.
I will give you a receipt in the morning
Good night mr. Reznik.
but... if you noticed anyone hanging around my apartment?
- Has there been a burglary? - No no no
I just wondered if...
You know errr... if you noticed anything unusual lately?
Unusual?
Ah never mind Mrs. Shrike.
I am sorry... to disturb you so late
Good night.
What we know is this:
One:
Miller was operating the mill in long sleeves.
Two:
Miller's arm was in the cutting zone of mill while it was off.Three:
the mill suddenly activatescatching Miller's sleeve resulting in this.
What is the f***ing point?
These accidents are never pretty Mr. Reznik.
Our job is to investigate these events from every possible angles
So that we might prevent their reoccurrence.
So we'd appreciate it if you are a bit more co-operative.
I knocked into the f***ing activator by mistake.
What caused the mistake Mr. Reznik?
I was distracted.
By what?
What distracted you?
It was Ivan I was watching Ivan on the pit.
The whole thing is my fault okay.
Who did you say?
The new arcwelder I don't know his last name.
- What new arcwelder? - Ivan the guy from the swing shift.
Reynolds was picked up on a warrant This guy got his place.
What the f*** are you talking about Reznik?
Reynolds is right over there on the pit as usual busting his ass.
There is no Ivan in National Machine Reznik.
What is this?
Mr. Reznik Have you recently suffered any head injuries?
Ever hear of pumpkin pie?
No
- Trevor - Yeah
- Can I ask you a question? Sure
Why do you go all of your way to come here every night?
Is it all the way?
An airport? For coffee and pie?
Suppose I went to Danni's
Suddenly I get an overwhelming urge to skip town.
Could I do that just in any diner?
Is someone chasing you?
Not yet
But they will when they find out who I am.
