Like the people in the picture. And he's in a great deal of pain because of that. And it's a pain I've caused. Then he kills Paul, and found he was in both feet. Victor, I want him to know something. I want him to know that if there's anything left in this world that he still cares about, I'm going to find it and I'm going to burn it down. He's probably wondering right now what I'm thinking. What my plan is. And how much I know. Wouldn't you be wondering what I'm thinking?

Victor: No.
