I've been following her for months. She deserves what's coming.

She let Taylor die. She let my father die. That firefighter was ready to save his life. To go back. He's a hero, but she's nothing.

Because of her, I don't have anyone, I don't have a home, I don't have Taylor, and because of her, I fell off the wagon.

He was there for me. He was my role model, my mentor.

I just have to do it. Today, it's been a year.

She shouldn't be here, walking through a supermarket, smiling with her wife and daughter. She too deserves to be lost to her loved ones. To lose everything, like I lost everything.

She didn't save Taylor.

-"You could say sorry!"

What does the old woman want from me...

Her wife leaves her alone. It's time, it's today... For Taylor, to do her justice. No day will ever be as perfect as today.

-"Captain Bishop?"

-"Yes?"

- "you don't remember me, do you?"

- "should I?"

- "it's been a year today"

- "a year since what?"

- "so you really don't remember. As far as I can see, your mistakes and choices don't keep you up at night. Here you are, shopping with your wife and daughter... You're expecting a child... You go on with your life while you deliberately end a man's life."

-"I don't..."

- "a year ago the house on Market Street... Your colleague promised to go and save Taylor's life, he promised to go back for him and you ordered him not to go back."

-"The house wasn't safe. It was falling apart on all sides".

- "Is that what you tell yourself at night before you go to sleep? To clear your conscience?"

-"This is neither the time nor the place. I'm with my wife and daughter. Drop by my office tomorrow if you like, I have to go to the barracks anyway, I'll receive you and we can talk about it."

Talk about what ... I don't want to talk. I want revenge.

-"Taylor was like a father to me and you let him die. Your daughter will now know what it's like to have to go on with her life without one of her two parents"

"this is for Taylor..."

I have to get out of here. I have to get out of here.
I can't believe nobody paid any attention to us. No one stood up for her. What a cropper, the way she let Taylor croak.

I've got to get rid of this. - He had thrown his knife into the first shelf.

I've got to get out of here. I need a dose of heroin.
