Shadow of Vengeance

- It is an absolute bloodbath out there.

I mean these perpetrators are the ones

who are now actually being brutalized.

Now look, I might get hot water for saying this,

but it's about time that someone stood up to the filth

that has plagued in this city.

The mayor and law enforcement

sure in the hell aren't doing anything about it.

And you'd think they're actually rooting for the bad guys.

No one's been arrested as of yet.

I'm not sure if they even have any suspects.

And if they do, they're not releasing it to the public.

This mysterious individual or a group of individuals

continues to wreak havoc on the dregs of society.

You don't seem so tough to me.

So you like slapping girls around, is that it?

- I don't know what you're talking about, man.

Oh, I think you do.

I have money.

I don't want your money.

Then, what?

My niece, her name is Amy.

Here you've been slapping her around.

You even kicked her in the stomach

with your steel-toed boots and threatened her life.

- That is not what happened.

She's lying. I swear she's-

Shut up!

You say another word, this ends bad for you.

I hate guns.

I prefer knives, like this.

People in my world die for what you did to my niece.

Do you wanna die?

I didn't think so.

I don't like violence. I really don't.

But someone has to stand up to the cowards like you

and that guy is me.

You don't know my niece.

Forget she even exists.

You touch her again, I will find you

and I'll put you to sleep for good.

- Watch where you going, jerk!

You could've killed me.

Uncle Dos?

- Hi, Amy. Sorry for calling so late.

- Oh no, it's fine. I'm just doing homework.

Is everything okay?

- Couldn't be better. How are you doing?

I'm good, yeah.

I'm a little worried that he might come back

and find me, but.

He won't. It's taken care of.

What happened?

What do you mean?

Your, uh, your ex-boyfriend

or whatever you wanna call him,

we, uh, we had a little chat.

He won't be bothering you again,

if he knows what's good for him.

- Thank you. Thank you, Uncle Dos.

- Anytime. I don't want you to be by yourself, okay?

I want someone with you at all times until this blows over.

Yeah, I will. I will.

- Call me if you need anything. I'll be there.

You're the best, really.

Give your mother my love.

I think you guys are coming over for Sunday dinner soon.

I will. I'll let her know.

Take care.

Okay, bye.

Who is that?

Um, it was Uncle Dos.

What did he want?

- Just called to say that he had a little talk

with you know who and I don't have to worry anymore.

- I am not really sure what that means,

but I'm going to assume that it's something good.

I hope so.

Well if he said so,

then I'm sure you don't have anything to worry about.

I'm so stupid.

I don't even know what I saw in him in the first place.

You are not stupid.

Hey, we all make mistakes.

Look at your father, a perfect example. Huge mistake.

- He was really nice at first, Mom.

Yeah, aren't they all?

He was in my anatomy class

and you know I kinda felt bad for him.

Nobody talked to him

and all the other boys just seemed so boring.

- You've always been so kind to the underdog.

Well, it backfired.

And I found out he wasn't even enrolled here.

Before I knew it, he was just demanding things

that I couldn't give him and started to try to control me.

- Lesson learned. You just need to be more careful.

You've always had such a good heart, Amy.

I love you so much.

Love you too, Mom.

Dirk, dammit!

Stop!

- Dirk, stop! Dirk! - Mom!

Stop, Dirk, you're drunk!

You're a filthy whore!

I know you were with him!

No, I wasn't. I swear.

I would never do anything

to hurt you. - Stop! Mommy!

- I can't even stand to look at you right now.

I'm through.

Mom, Mom, Mom.

I'm so sorry, baby.

You get your bastard child

and get the hell outta my house!

- No! No! - Mom!

- Get off her. Get off her.

No! Dammit, I'll kill you!

Stop! No!

Mom? Mom!

Mom, wake up.

Mom, wake up.

Mom, wake up.

Mom, wake up.

Mom, please, wake up.

Mom, wake up!

Wake up. Wake up!

Mom. Mom, please, wake up!

Wake up!

You okay?

- Hmm. Yeah, I'll be fine.

Just got a lot on my mind.

Anything I can do?

Erase my past.

I wish I could.

I'm gonna grab some water.

Dos, I love you.

I love you too.

Hi, Daddy.

Hey there, princess.

You came home late.

I tried to wait up for you.

Yeah, I had some work to do.

I just wanted to see you.

I'm sleepy.

Close your eyes.

Sweet dreams. I love you.

I love you to, Daddy.

So, Slash is your name?

Yeah, it's my street name.

Yeah, it's a stupid name.

In your opinion.

- Well it says here, your real name is Ernest Manzelli.

Is that right?

- Nobody calls me Ernie except my mom.

Well, here's the deal.

Are you sure that this is the guy who assaulted you?

- Positive. Looked him up online.

- Now, how would you know who to look up?

Did he tell you his name

while he's beating you like a ragdoll?

- He snuck up on me and it was a cheap shot.

Next time, he will not be so lucky.

- I doubt it, and you're not answering my question.

- I know his niece. We used to date for a while.

Looked her up online and there he was.

I wanna press charges.

- I think this is what you would call

a case of mistaken identity, Ernie.

You see that guy in the photograph

is an ex-Navy Seal served this country,

won the Medal of Honor.

Not only that, he was a three-time Teacher of the Year,

pillar in the community.

Now you on the other hand,

are a convicted felon who steals purses from old ladies

and violates innocent women and children.

I have never touched a child!

If they're under 18,

they're considered a child in the eyes of the court.

You're a pervert and a predator. That's what you are.

And your point is?

My point is this, Ernie,

you're gonna forget what happened last night.

Erase it from your memory.

And if I don't?

- I'm gonna make your life a living hell.

I'm not gonna let you ruin

the reputation of an upstanding citizen.

There's only a few of them left in the community.

But this city is full of little degenerate flea bags

such as yourself.

Are we clear? Are we clear?

- Yes, man. Let go of my ribs dammit!

Good.

So you and I aren't gonna have any problems anymore?

Right.

Is everything okay in here?

- Oh, peachy. I was just gonna leave.

You have yourself a nice night, Ernie.
