Do they know where I live?
[muffled] Who?
You know who I'm talking about. I'm not playing around.
[muffled] Who?
Man!
What is wrong with you! A tattoo gun?
You asked where I live. Who sent you?
No one sent me. I just... I mean I was just trying to help you.
Wait. Who do you think they is?
Ralphio... his group. Or gang. I don't know.
Ok. Okay, look. I get that you got some serious shit going on.
But seeing that you just threatened my life with a tattoo gun that's actually really pointy and could have hurt me, I'd like to know why.
Wait!
Do you want to have some tea?
It smells like ass, but it's surprisingly comforting.
We can switch cups if you'd like.
So Brian now that I've actually heard you talk, maybe we could keep that going.
What's your story? What's got you so spooked?
I heard a yell.
Around the corner from my apartment. It was Ralphio, my neighbour. Dangling someone off the fire escape.
Threatening him. And then he...
I called the police. There's a trial in a few weeks. If I testify... I don't think it's worth the risk.
I don't know how I can help.
You wanted to see me?
Yes. Please take a seat.
Don't be nervous. This is not your review. I just wanted to give you this.
Its your transcript from your assignment report. Many employees keep them for their records.
We were very pleased that you past your assignment with your sister Penny.
You have the potential to be a great employee. And we expect the same results on your current assignment.
What if helping someone the way that I think they should be helped isn't what this assignment is about?
I'm not sure I follow you.
My assignment, Brian, he...
I have to interrupt V. It's better that I don't get involved in the details. This conversation may be better suited to your mentor.
This is about life or death. Andrew's okay and all, but I'm pretty sure this is more your kind of thing. I won't name names okay?
My assignment witnessed a gang crime and I'm pretty sure that I'm supposed to connect him, to a cop or a lawyer or something.
But if I make that connection, there is about a 100% chance he's going to get whacked
Your familiar with the term "whacked"?
Yes, V.
So what then? He's just going to die? He has to walk his path whatever the price and you can't even stop him?
Right. Probation. Review.
Thanks for the file.
V, this is a hard job. And sometimes things don't turn out the way we want or expect them to.
You should put that in the handbook.
Ya. Ya, so let me know if Rose is up for helping out. It would have to be pro bono. Thanks Penny.
You're still into that, huh? It's not quite your style, but I mean, we can maybe put it on your flank.
It would hurt like a bitch.
It's not a tattoo.
I didn't know you were into Lady of War?
Whoa whoa, what do you mean?
Well, I mean that's there new artwork for their album. They are playing at the Underground this weekend.
What? Tonight?
Yeah, yesterday. I mean, last night. I mean they're great!
Ok! I gotta go.
Sure, sure. I'll sweep.
