:49:01
I imagine you'll enjoy that.
:49:11
I don't know if you ever
understood your son
:49:15
or whether you'll ever
understand people like us.
:49:21
We were trained at a very early age
to feel no compassion.
:49:25
We were trained for war,
:49:27
to have no fear of death,
to embrace it.
:49:31
We valued each other,
and our courage.
:49:34
We despised the weak, and worse,
we despised weakness.
:49:38
We fought against
our own weaknesses.
:49:42
And what are compassion and love
if not weaknesses?
:49:46
Madeleine left me a note asking me
why I didn't like her.
:49:51
And added at the end:
'Love isn't an illness'.
:49:54
I always saw love as an illness,
something to be rejected.
:50:00
The night she died, I understood that
all she wanted was a little compassion.
:50:05
And now that I've got nothing to gain
and nothing to lose,
:50:10
if I could admit it just once,
:50:13
I'd tell you that
maybe that's what I needed,
:50:17
a bit of compassion.
:50:19
But it's too late for me now.
:50:25
Goodbye, Inspector.
