Why hello there and welcome to a surprising second seasonal slice of retrospection. This show is free of our usual Christmas gimmicks, so put your clothes back on, Paul. They were never on in the first place. We never noticed.

No, no, it's because the colour of your skin is the same as that curtain behind you. Blue. In this episode, we're slaying the ghosts of Christmas past with the seasonal movie Dark Angel from 1990. It's a wonderful life with brain juice.

It really is actually, yes. Slightly annoyed with you. Okay. Because when you said Dark Angel, I thought I was going to be spending 60 minutes watching Jessica Alba.

Instead, I got dull for Lord Cren. Well, I mean, he's got Hex. You look at those. True, true.

Well, because of that, my name's Colin and it's very fucking Christmas. No? Why are you doing an accident? I didn't do an accident.

Oh, my name's Paul and you're still going on a report for your mistreatment of boner. Yeah, you've been there before, ain't you? I've never mistreated your boner. That's what you're alluding to, Colin.

No, no, but your own. Well, you know, what happens to your own boner's your own business? We'll leave it there, shall we? Yes.

Nobody wants to look at your boner-fied easy. Let's leave it hanging. Yeah. TMDB says Jack Kane is a Houston vice-cop who's forgotten the real book.

That sounds like he was meant to take the book with him and then left it behind. Oh, sorry. The real book I left it in the cremation odour by previous partner. He said he's out of the pants.

Yes. His self-appointed mission is to stop the drugs trade and the number one supplier, Victor Manning, whilst involved in an undercover operation to entrap Victor Manning, his partner gets killed and a sinister newcomer enters the scene. Well, I mentioned the Victor Manning. It's a lot of her character who just disappears and never reappears in the movie.

He just disappears. He's in real. He goes on holiday, doesn't he? He does indeed.

This stars Dolph Ludgren as Detective Jack Kane. Ryan Ben Ben, a special agent, I would Larry Smith. Betsy Brantley as Diane Pallone. Mafias Housa's bad alien.

Talak. I didn't know he was going. Did he have a name? Yeah.

Doesn't the credits? Jay Belass is good alien. Azak. Azak.

It's a complete Azak. Wasn't that an insult on your rescue? Was it? It was.

Yeah. Was it? We'll call him that from now. He looks like one.

To be honest. Jim Haney has kept him alone. David Ackroyd is in respect to Switzer, Switzer, Switzer. And I do.

Yeah. And German Howard is Victor Manning. Right, as we'll say, even though he's not in the film. Written by Jonathan Tydor and David Krep.

So this script was originally called Lethal Contact. And as you say, it was written by Jonathan Tydor. That's a name, isn't it? Yes.

Yeah. But it was later rewritten by David Krep, Krep, Krep, Krep, Krep. Oh, wait, singing now. Who would go on to work on such movies as Jurassic Park and Mission Impossible?

So we leveled up a bit. Oh, it's an extensive list of writing trends. Yeah, he's done a lot. Directed by Craig Baxley, who was a stunt performer, then co-ordinator.

And Lenny's craft is the second unit director on shows like The Duke's Have Hazard, A-Team, and then finally becoming a film director. He directed Action Jackson. He did indeed. And Stone Cold.

Did you read who he double thought, in particular? Oh, no, tell me. Yeah, this is a strange fact. But apparently he was Roger Moore's stunt double in the movie Sherlock Holmes in New York.

I don't remember him doing any stunts in that movie. I don't remember him being any stunts in that movie. Maybe it was one of Roger Moore's off days and just everything was a stunt. Just walking into a room.

Yeah. You want me to pick that up? Craig. Hey, come here, old chap.

Hey, you're doing it wrong. You wanted to pick that up? That's good, that's not it. Oh, yeah.

Did he have Lauren Jaitos that week? Yeah, he did. Yeah, I did. Well, that's not that he did.

Yeah, yeah. Of course, that was his oldest stunt performer, Larry Jaitos. What? Why?

Why do I do it? That's what Larry used to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Music, bye.

Jan Hammer. Yeah. Couldn't tell, could you? So did you read that some of the music is apparently ripped from or reused from episodes of Vami Varn?

It's reworked. And let us see if we can say which scene is the most obvious. And I would say it's the scene at the beginning with the drug deal inside the... Ooh.

Is that it? Yep, I think that's the... That's that. I had another idea.

I thought it was maybe... There's a chase later in the movie. And some of that sounds suspiciously like some of the music that she used in the chases in my mind. Ah, I see.

All right. But both of us will agree that it doesn't sound like Vami Vise Instrumentals. Oh, definitely. Definitely.

Yeah. I think that's a very sad, lethal contact in the original script. Both of those are better titles than Dirk Angel. Yeah, which tommile popped up when you're on the version you watched?

Dirk Angel. That's strange. So you saw it with the European title and you're in the US. I watched it on Amazon Prime.

And it was called, I'm coming to pick... I thought Dirk Angel was the US title. It's not? I thought he was either way right.

Ooh, some confusion. Anyway, still rubbish. Title. Who's the angel?

Why is he Dirk? Do you think it's allude into the fact that as you said, this is kind of set at Christmas? Well, oh, and he's like an angel come down to Earth to save humanity from this person. But he's just as destructive as the baguette.

No, not Kane, but the over alien. Why is it? Yeah, yeah. The angel was it?

Dirk, could have been a bad name for the film. I think we just found the title of the episode. Oh, that was it. Oh, come on, people have got to look at that.

That's interesting. That's interesting. That'll be disappointed. Yeah, they will, really.

So it didn't do very well at the box office, did it? No, it didn't. So the movie had a budget of $7 million. Not much.

And it grossed just over $4 million worldwide. I think $5.6 billion was spent on pyrotechnics. Yeah, there are a lot of exposures in this movie. Yeah, definitely.

It did become a hit on the home video later, particularly in the UK, where it stayed in the top 10 rentals for about 7 weeks. So those Wikipedia figures must be slightly out then, I would think. It must have made its money back by now. I'm sure it did.

I mean, I remember that this film being something that we talked about as a video. Yeah, that's something we should mention that neither of us have actually seen this film before, which is weird. We don't know why neither of us have seen it. I know.

And I thought, oh, I must have seen it. And as I'm watching it, I'm probably going to go, oh, yeah, it is. But no point did I go, I remember this. The only thing that I remember, and I think it's because I saw the trailer used to pop up on other videos that I would rent at the time, is I remember that final, that shot near the end.

Well, I can't be peaceful, but we pieces. Right. I remember the flying disc. So that was probably in the trailer, too.

I'm sure it was. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe we think we've seen it because we saw that trailer so much.

Yeah, weird. Because I've only popped up on mid-range straight-to-video action movies that we probably already had at the time. It must have been on every Steve and Segal movie. Yeah, it had to be, didn't it?

It was prime for those fans of Stephen Segal. Weirdly, I'll say it. I'm sure we'll talk about Dov Lundgren's acting. We talked about it when we did Masters in the Universe a couple of years ago, but he's not the greatest.

But I'll take a movie with Dov Lundgren in any day over Stephen Segal. Any movie? So, on the siege? Yeah, but on the siege is not fun because of Stephen Segal.

It's just a fun movie, isn't it? I'm sorry, I'm talking about- It's not because of a record Ellen Yach. Oh, the record Ellen Yach. Oh, the record Ellen Yach.

I already voted this. Yes. I'd rather watch Dov Lundgren as a leading action movie than Segal. That's fair enough.

I also think on the siege is an accident of a movie. It's just accidentally a good film. Yeah, because on the siege too. Yeah.

Lightning did not strike twice. Did it? And you probably could have thrown any action actor into on the siege. It still would have been a good film.

Oh, definitely. Definitely. Any more info? The five shoes he plays the alien bag guy was apparently so tall that he had to perform all his own stunts because they could find a double that fit.

Oh. He was thrown in across the cars as they were exploded. He did him one shot in one take. Wow.

Yeah. We're like a mean of highland at that shot for some reason. I don't know why. She was a shot very similar than that.

Someone's running across cars in a car park. Are you sure? In the first movie I'm sure that- Are you sure you're not just remembering something from a Friday night in Wigam? You bit your mean running across cars.

No, you've seen it happen. Oh, I'll say. Yeah, certainly the car picks you running across cars. Maybe like matchbox.

And even then you get tired after three. This is true. This is true. I'll fan fit these days.

You're using the physical healthiness. Yes. I'm not the- How old are you? Well, we're just going to- Whoa, I shouldn't be.

That's what it used to mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, what? 40 years ago maybe.

Oh, you gave your age away. Not mine. Oh, of course not. No.

Would have been an embryo at that point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Yes.

And that's it. That's all I've got. Alright, so let's leap into the film. Houston, Texas.

It's Christmas. Someone special is coming to town. And it's not Santa Claus. Jack and Jack and Jack.

Jack and Jane. A cop who does things his own way. We do it. Short term.

He's sensitive. They. Understanding. And kind to strangers.

Vergrets. But all that's about to end. I got it, please. Three well armed men have their throats cut.

Or they can even draw their weapons. Who could possibly move that fast? Aliens. Say what?

Are you crazy? It's true. You need a psychiatrist, Jack. Your psycho's not.

You're a psycho. You're a psycho. You're a psycho. You're a psycho.

You're a psycho. You're a psycho. You're a psycho. You're a psycho.

You're a psycho. You're a psycho. Still a lot of heroin to kill people. What are you gonna do?

Tell them we're fighting truck dealers from outer space. Huh? You and body carriers are small electrical charge right? You tune the disc to the charge?

What the hell is going on here? As far as your concerns, this case is closed. It's not a problem any prior. I've had a bad day.

Dog London. And you go in pieces. Dark Angel. So we open with an unfortunate Kevin Spacey look I like driving a car.

Unfortunate for him or for Kevin Spacey? Unfortunate for him I would say these days. Yeah those Kevin Spacey stand in gigs, they're drying up pretty quick out of these days. Yeah, they try to start a CD player which flies out of the player, don't know the technical reason for this but it does foreshadow an object later in the film.

It does and I was thinking to remember the days when CD player in a car was the high of sophistication it was like oh he's got a CD player in his car, he's not going to take that he's got a CD player. Yeah, or you have one of those six CD changes in your boot. Oh yeah. So he almost hits a boss, swerves and crashes into some Christmas trees because this is a Christmas film.

Oh but it slaps you across the face with it, doesn't it most of the movie? Which reminds me that the CD is Christmas music, he's playing. It is, it is, yes. You get out of the car when an object from the sky hits it and explodes, a man clumbers out of the fire and says, are coming in peace.

Yeah he's a throat boss. He does, yes. We should say that there is nothing remotely terminated like about this movie at all, right? Nope, nothing at all.

Didn't think that for a second. We got to credits and ventilation fans, it's not somebody who loves ventilation. Over with, there's lots of posters on his wall. Yeah, different types.

Yeah, and then he's got a book and he's, when he sees one, he writes it down, or that's a collect 725. Hey, there's something out there for everyone that can float your boat, you know. Oh, oh, that's an octua. So, actual fan.

Oh my god, you're one of them, you're one of them, right? Oh no, all the PC fans are going, yep, yep, that's a fan. Dave. Yeah.

So you can tell this is a 90s film because there's lots of blue lighting and shadowy, bluish shots of ventilation fans. I feel that ventilation fans were a very big theme in those days. I think die-hard started all that, didn't it? Well, this was 1990.

Was that, I don't know, we're dying now. 88, 89, 88, 89, because I remember the bit where he has to sort of prop it open with the bottom of his gun so that he can crawl through it. Yeah. And that's a big one.

So that would be a hit for the fans. Yeah, true. Guitar solo logs. Guitar solo, yes.

And even the font of those opening credits, they look, they just scream 90s, don't they? They do. The only thing missing is the sound of like, when they come together. Slamming together, yeah.

Man's using a blow touch on a grill. No, no, no, no, no. You know, a barbecue grill. No, no, no, no.

A grill in a while. Yeah. So we're in a police station and there's a carpenter called Sergeant Hopkins. He's called to an evidence room inside the room, a man throws a knife at him and he's dressed as a cop.

The man takes the real cop's name badge and packs up bags of drugs, stored in the evidence room. Why do they call this police officer to the room and then kill him? Yeah, because he's already in the room. They're in the room?

Yeah. They take his name badge. Why do they take his name badge? Ah, it's not because when they have to go through, there's a checkpoint, isn't they?

They have to go through to get the drug signed out so they can get out. Okay. Two questions. One.

Does this police officer sign out? No, every single police officer in this building. If so, if he does, they want to recognise the fact that this guy looks nothing like Hopkins. Well, isn't there a shot in that bit where he, because he glances down at the name tag and then looks up at him?

Almost like he. Yeah, then reaches for the phone, but still let some leave. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you like that.

Also, why are they signing the drugs out? Why don't they just leave? What, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. The guy on the desk though, he's got our level of, you know, thoroughness when it comes to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, just looks at the name badge.

Yeah. You said you're not kids. Yeah. Okay.

I mean, it's a lot of work really, isn't it? You know, it's going to lead to other more work as well. That's true. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. This guy, this guy that's leading the high so he's acting a little bit crazy, isn't he? Kind of joker-esque fashion.

He reminds me a lot of, he's led just take on the joker in the dark night movie. It feels like this character is going to go somewhere and he's going to be important to the movie, right? Yeah. He's the main villain.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You get that feeling, don't you?

Yeah. Yeah. You do. Yeah.

It's wrong. What do you say? I'm saying it's wrong. Well, this guy drops a bag as they're leaving the station, right?

Yeah. And then as the driving away, the whole police station explodes. And the reason he did this was because there are no witnesses. Witnesses to what?

Yeah. What? What? So he killed every single person in that villain?

Or he's killed just the guy who signed them out. Well, don't have someone sign you out and just leave. There will be no witnesses. If you didn't kill a copa in that thing and you just walked out, it would probably days before they noticed the drugs were missing.

The thing is this movie is geared to a particular section of audience. And that section of audience demands an explosion in the opening five minutes of the movie. So, you know. I thought he was going to say that that section of audience demands to be sectioned.

Well, you've got fans as well. You've got to keep them happy. The fans of the fans. You've got the fans of the fans of the explosions.

What fans going on? That's true. That's doing a good job, then. Yeah.

Checking those boxes. We got to outside of club and Detective Kane is set outside while his partner is inside working undercover, making a drug buy with an organization known as the White Boys. Yeah. Kane is listening to what's going on.

Isn't it pretty obvious that this deal is going wrong? Yeah. And that his partner is being made because every sentence is an illusion to be in a police officer. It's almost like he said first time they've ever done it, isn't it?

Yeah, but Kane is just too dense. I love how they show you visually that he's a man who recalts because he's dressed in black and he's casually in junk food. As he's listening. And as you point out, he can't tell what you're thinking anyway because there's nothing going on.

Also, the junk food thing is a bit odd when you later see his apartments and stuff. Yeah. And when we get to that, I like that bit because it goes against what you think, doesn't it? But it flies in the face of this opening bit.

Almost like there's no consistency to anything in this movie. Yeah. At one point, the undercover cast who's asked what university did you graduate from? And he says, the University of Sock my dick.

Now you graduated from the whole. You've done it again. You've done it again. Fucking hell.

Every time. I believe you got a day plus. I wasn't that good. You do every time to me.

Every time. I had it right there. It stirred up me in my notes and you've just completely. Meanwhile, outside the grocery store near Kane is robbed at gunpoint.

The robbers that are shooting the place up. For some reason, Kane doesn't just radio this in. He abandons his partner and goes to stop the robbery. Even though at this point, it is now painfully obvious that this deal has gone wrong and that his partner has been made.

He's like, oh, that doesn't matter. He'll figure it out. I mean, I guess they're trying to go for that dirty Harry vibe where he's doing something else and then a robbery goes down and he's like, oh, I've got to deal with this. And then you know, that's that great scene in Dirty Harry was eating a hot dog.

But in that scene, he's just eating a hot dog. He's not listening to his partner die in the other room. No, no, no, that hot dog is not being charged with. Exactly.

As a pet from him eating it. Apparently, I think he's seen this scene or a scene later in the movie, but there's a little bit in the movie where he does a spinning kick and he's literally connected with the other actor, not him spark out. Yeah, that's in the story. Does it's one of the robbers?

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he knocked him out? Yeah, he literally knocked him out.

You can see it's a connector as well. You can literally see that you connect. You don't really want to work with that kind of guy, do you? It's a bit.

A bit of professionalism. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's quite, he hadn't done much.

Shall he really at this point? Actually, you mean career wise, not in this film? No, he career wise, not at one point. Oh.

I mean, he does not matter the universe. And I think he's had a little part in a couple of other movies due to a kill and I think there's a Jackie Chan movie or something like that. I made it wrong. But he's a weird choice to give a lead to.

Yeah. You know, he's more of a, he's more of a henchman, isn't he? Yeah. Right.

Yeah. So can he shoot everybody? He does. How's your lead?

With no emotion? And maybe he's a psychopath. No, well, they. Yeah.

I mean, not as an actor in real life. I mean, in the film. Yeah, yeah. He knows a psychopath.

I mean, we could possibly comment. We don't know. No. No.

In the club, a man that was in the crash object turns up suddenly. How did he know that there were going to be drugs at this place? Do you sniff them out? I was thinking maybe you can sniff them out.

You can sniff. OK. Well, you can. I know.

I know. I've got a whale. I know. I'm from Miles away.

You know, he's not a tracker dog. Is he? Maybe the police should hire him. No, no, hold up.

This takes me back to the whole how can super girl change her clothes by running past the fence, I think. No, this is just the safest magic. Alien magic. Have you know what you can?

You know, I've got the sniff out of drugs from miles away. You don't know. Oh, I'm not open. I'm fine with that.

That's what you can do. Yeah. Or maybe you want to do these weird tentacle things, which we'll get to. All right.

Now, this moment to use is a flying CD, some kind of disc to kill everybody. It flies around, bounces off objects, and it cuts people's necks. Oh, I like it. But I think it should have been a bit more brutal, don't you?

You mean you want to see people's heads come on? Yeah, it just make it a bit more visceral and a bit a little bit nastier. I think it would have worked better. I think I read a review of this at the time.

And the reviewer said it's too brutal. And no film has been helped by being too brutal. I'm thinking, oh, is there if that's wrong? That's wrong on all counts, isn't it?

Cain finally turns up. He does. He finds everyone dead, including his partner. And then we get this beautiful scene where Cain is filled with anguish and emotes.

What are you laughing for? He holds his partner and goes, no. I mean, when you're doing it better, I mean, I have to see it. And there was more emotion there in what you were doing than there is in the movie.

Yeah. Cups in the press turn up. Cain's Lieutenant turns up and he's playing the angry police chief role. You know, Cain, you've been missing for eight days.

Your partner's dead. And I got hemorrhoids. You know, that kind of thing. This movie hits every single trope, doesn't it?

It's got everything there. Yeah, it does. And the artist came to take a bit of cash. That's an harder.

You were not to tell me to ask. How doesn't he say like, oh, he says promise me because you'll never break a promise. Because he's a good guy. He's a good guy, but I don't want you around.

And I'm like, I say, you just let your partner die. You know. Yeah, yeah, and then you shut some people. Yeah.

Super cop. So the FBI turned up and they went Cain back on the case. Cain believes that a bag I called Victor Manning is involved. Right.

And they talk about the fact that a weird weapon was used in the bird to kill everybody. Mm-hmm. And they want to partner Cain with a straight cut agent. A Steve Corral lookalike called Agent Smith.

No, no, this Agent Smith is one of the better written characters in the movie I thought, because at least he's got a personality. Yeah, yeah. He's there by the book. Yeah.

But he's also got little quirks as well that we see as the movie goes on. And I think it helps that the guy playing him. He's got more charisma in one eyebrow raise than the lead actor. He's caught really, hasn't he?

It doesn't help the chemistry between them though. It does, because there isn't any. We also learn that Cain has an on-off relationship with the coroner, Diane. What's the beef about him?

What's the problem? Well, he doesn't really explain it. So I suppose you have to try and read between the lines. So I'm guessing that maybe he was married.

Well, I guess he was missing for eight days. So maybe his job got it. Let's just say the job got him away. It's a married to the job routine.

Yeah. Yeah. We've seen it a million times. I've got to say at this point, the movie's kind of reminded me of another, who's made me 80s, a movie called The Hidden, starring Cameron Clacklin.

Oh, right. Yeah, I've seen that. He's an alien. Yeah, he teams up with another alien.

Yeah, he's an alien. Yeah, he's an alien. After another alien movie. Good movie.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, obviously, absolutely. So, yeah. So, Diane's a coroner.

You should have been a coroner. He likes stiff things. Well, I did go to the University of... Yeah, I did.

Yeah. I'm not going to say it again. We learned that the FBI agent, Smith, loves his boss, Switzer, and refers to things being in the Switzer manual. I've read the poll manual.

Very little content, lots of doodles. Yeah, but they all mean something. To you. Yeah.

To nobody else. Like the psychopathic scribillings on the inside of a padded cell. No, if you flip the book. Upside down?

No, no, flip it. Like a picture book. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's hidden meaning, isn't it?

Is that? When you find out what it is, let me know. OK, I will do. Yeah.

We got to a homeless person who looks like an actress that's had a few bits of dirt rubbed on her face. I actually, in my notes, I thought, we actually play in this homeless woman. She looks far too glam for the part. I mean, you say, well, they tell you to smear a bit of dirt or they're bushing it to the room.

Yeah. This second alien, though, as we're going to get to in a minute. Fantastic, her cut. Yeah, yeah, you're a jealous.

Hey, at this point, I'll take anything. Are you afraid to move the map through or look alike? Yeah, I suppose he does a bit. Yeah.

Yeah. I've done lookalikes for all these characters. They all look like somebody else. They all look like someone they wish they'd had.

I think that's what they did. No, I don't know. It's just funny that I keep going, oh, that person looks like this. Well, that's why you shoot for the stars.

And then pick up from the gutter, don't you? That's how we live our life. Absolutely. So, yeah, so there's an explosion and then we get another alien.

Turns up. This is Wazook. Right? This is Wazook.

Yeah, and instead of running, she goes looking to see what's going out to be out that house. Well, you know, why else are you going to do? She's got a little trolley for the cans. You know, she's got to have to protect, you know.

That's true. Meanwhile, the crime's the nature's myth. He's taking notes. We learn that age is mythical.

Wazook is a seat of the pants. Go with the gut kind of man. It's like the two of us. Which one are you?

Which one do you think? I know which one you think you are. Oh, really? Yeah.

I'm the guy who takes notes, has a plan and then ignores it. I do all the prep. Yeah. Yeah.

And then I go, it's only Anna's seed oil. What is it matter? Yeah. That should be the title of the episode.

It's only Anna's seed oil. What is it matter? That's going to baffle everyone. That is.

What the hell are they talking about in this episode? Cricket. The chuck outlines in the club. They look like a bunch of morphs.

The chaz's have been murdered. Yeah, they do. We cut to a capital bond store, whatever the hell that is. And Larry Hagman look alike.

Minus the week. He's got the week. Yes. He's drinking an eggnog and watching it's a wonderful life.

He has a noise outside. For some reason, he instantly thinks it's a burglar. Yeah, and he's a bit free and easy with his shotgun, isn't he? He just totally blows his whole window apart.

Doing more damage than any burglar would have done. Do you think he does this all the time? Do you think he does? Yeah, just to keep the program.

Yeah, does it ever? Camera pants are the right. There's a glazier is just to the left. That's massive because they're always in business.

Like the undertaker and Carrie on Cobot. He's always wet. Standing in the corner, wait. Yes.

Yeah, exactly. So it's our first alien, the coming piece alien. I mean, Jack's this guy over chemical and it stabs him in the ad? He does.

Yeah. I thought the tentacles are a nice touch. It's a fun visual. I mean, it's kind of original, I suppose.

I'm never seeing that before. It is, yeah. In anything else. No.

No. Not even all those tentacle films you usually watch. That's your full so calling, not mine. Hang on, do tentacles.

Yeah, and Ty? Not since I've got the ointment. Hey, that's a joke. You can just adapt.

We've used that, Jack, I'm really entirely like that. Just chase it up. Yeah, yeah, Cass. So it was still the best.

And if it doesn't want to be there, so I had this scene. But Kay knows somebody contact called Bona, played by Michael J. Do you know his best Michael J. Collard?

Yeah. From Tango and Cash, Scrooge, and Split Second, C, previous podcast. And Star Trek? Yes.

Yes. Kay and Ashley were victim maningers. But they know what victim maning is or is it just they don't? I guess they don't.

I guess you just left the country and that's all they know at this point. Yeah, you think that they keep tabs on you, wouldn't you? You would. He asks Bona, where are the drugs?
