[Under police arrest, Officer Simmons is lying in a hospital bed when he senses someone in the darkened room]Carl Elias: It's just me, Officer.[Elias leans forward in his chair into the light]Officer Patrick Simmons: Elias. What do you want? Quinn and I are bust. HR is dead. Nothin' else to do but to rub my face in it.Carl Elias: Not really my style.Officer Patrick Simmons: Then why the hell are you here?Carl Elias: Well, there remains a debt. Civilization rests on the principle that we treat our criminals better than they treated their victims, that we not stoop to their level. [pause] But you and I are outliers; we're not really a part of civilization. We're something... older. Which means, of course, that we can do the things that civilized people can't. I offered to kill you for Detective Carter many times, and she always said no. She was civilized to the very end. I don't think she liked me. But I liked her very much. You killed her. So now I consider it my responsibility to fix the particular problem that is you, Officer Simmons.Officer Patrick Simmons: You really think you're gonna be the one to kill me?Carl Elias: [laughing] No. No, my friend is going to kill you. I'm just gonna watch.[Elias leans back in his chair as his right-hand man Scarface approaches Simmons with a garrote and proceeds to strangle him to death]
