"Not many people do our job. Not many people can. Our job demands of us to be patient, to be detached from our environment, to be thorough to the point of obsessiveness, but above all, to keep a secret. Any man can kill a person. It takes as much bravery to shoot a gun as to point a remote. And any fit of passion can overtake someone enough to stab or bludgeon someone to death. Killing is a very easy job. It is after the killing that our phone rings. Sometimes we get slip-ups by professionals, everyone's got a bad day. But mostly it's when the dust settles and they can see what they have done, when their short-lived bout of courage leaves them alone with their mess and their freshly ruined lives, that's when they need us.'
'We come. We watch. We clean. And we take the secrets with us."
They walk into an unsightly building, which reveals an enormous technological hub.
"And those secrets are what allows for all of this. Housewives. Neighbours. Politicians. Even Presidents. We've helped all of them, and they in turn, help us. Or else.'
'Welcome to the Cleaners."
