B2S18C54 (Dialogue)

* Claudia: Time’s up, Damian! You’re under arrest for the murder of Nasasu Floyd!
* Claudia: What happened to having your underlings do all the work for you? Did you suddenly stop being lazy? 
* Damian: That’s ENOUGH!
* Damian: It’s true. I did kill your former director. He’s been a pain in the ass to us for quite some time now.
* Claudia: But why kill him yourself instead of having one of your totally capable other members pull it off?
* Damian: Truth be told, I was tired of hiding in the shadows.
* Damian: A true leader never hides. They step out of the shadows when the time reveals itself. Now is my time. 
* Damian: Unfortunately, that was where Nassau’s downfall begun. 
* Damian: That coward hid in the shadows for so long…his death was personal.
* Damian: Nassau was a corrupt bastard! He stole YOUR money and gave it to my group!
* Claudia: Isn’t that good for you?!
* Damian: I have morals, detective. Corruption is something I don’t stand for. Even if it does benefit me.
* Claudia: And mass murder is something you stand for? That doesn’t sound like good morals to me.
* Damian: It’s all for a good cause. You just can’t see it yet.
* Claudia: What morals can a mass murderer like you possibly have? 
* Damian: It’s my turn to ask the questions now, detectives. You had your chance.
* Damian: What is Zrixera’s main power, detectives? Fiona must’ve told you…
* Claudia: To revive dead people!
* Claudia: Wait a damn second…
* Claudia: Who are you trying to revive?!
* Damian: Five years ago, my wife was a humble businesswoman and I was a stay-at-home dad with my thirteen-year-old son. 
* Claudia: You don’t mean…
* Damian: We were such a happy family…until my wife was wrongly accused of white-collar crimes by the authorities…
* Damian: I was at a party with my friends. My wife was staying home with our son…
* Damian: We were robbed a week earlier and installed security cameras in our house. That’s how I know what happened…
* Damian: When I returned home, I found my wife shot three times while laying on the kitchen floor with a knife in her hand! And our son was GONE! Completely missing! I put out posters and everything, but he never returned!
* Damian: I checked the security cameras…and I…I saw everything…
* Damian: The law enforcement officers came in to arrest my wife. She put her hands up with the knife she was cooking with in her hand. She dropped it and tried to make a run for it…
* Damian: And they shot her three times!
* Damian: Then I read online that the agency responsible for killing her came out and said it was a “suicide.”
* Damian: And even worse, they took my son! Put him in an orphanage and changed his name! Now I’ll never see him again!
* Damian: I dove into the world of the supernatural shortly after…hoping there was a way to bring my wife back…
* Damian: This is when I stumbled across Zrixera and her powers. I knew that summoning her was the only way to bring her back…
* Claudia: And that cost hundreds of people their lives! You’re under arrest!
* Damian: Like they actually cared! Half of them were members of my group who sacrificed themselves to revive their dead friends anyways…
* Damian: These people had no families, were actively trying to stop us, or died willingly!
* Damian: Burying her was the saddest day of my life…but I knew I’d get her back.
* Damian: I joined a group named the Faith of Valor who promised to bring peoples’ relatives back…people started calling us the Harbringers of Armageddon, but I didn’t care! I was going to see our goal through!
* Damian: I quickly rose the ranks and became the leader after I paid a CIA agent to kill our previous head…she only wanted to be worshipped anyways…
* Claudia: You sick, twisted bastard! Do you have no remorse for the crimes you and your cult have committed?!
* Damian: We’re not a cult, officer. We’re people with similarities…I don’t ask for money…or to be worshipped…I just ask people to help me summon Zrixera. And in return, I summon their deceased relatives back from the dead too.
* Claudia: Wait a second…if you know Fiona told us all of this, why haven’t you silenced her yet?
* Damian: I’ve taken Fiona under my wing, so to speak. She had no other choice. 
* Claudia: So why have Rebecca kill her father?! Wouldn’t that be against your “morals?”
* Damian: Kabuto was an exception. He never really had the best morals and just wanted control. He wanted to help us at first. He knew what was right. 
* Damian: But then he turned on me and wanted to overthrow me and use the position for control! Not to bring back those we lost to untimely errors in life we needed to be erased!
* Damian: Same with Nassau. All he wanted was money and power. We paid him to turn a blind eye…but after you were onto us, he used Peyton as an excuse to fire your chief and slow you down…
* Damian: This is when you begun to catch onto him…even that Alejandro kid, who’s completely oblivious to EVERYTHING, saw something off with it. 
* Damian : Why would he fire your chief over killing that dock owner and not you for killing that Peacemakers member or your serial killer of a father last year? What about your profiler avenging her adoptive father’s death at the hands of a terrorist, or your tech expert, may she rest in peace, when she killed that Yakuza underboss?
* Claudia: How did you know all of that?!
* Damian: After you begun investigating me and my affairs, I asked Nassau for your files. He refused at first, but then he gave in once the price was high enough…
* Damian: Nassau was a money-hungry weasel who only cared about himself! After he stepped down and I didn’t need him, I got rid of that scumbag! I cut off his hand and threw the rest of his body in a lake. I should’ve known you’d find me though. You have before.
* Claudia: So who are you? Who’s behind the mask?!
* Damian: You’ll probably find that soon enough with your superior intellect and detective skills. But for now, I must be going!
* Claudia: “pulls out gun” I don’t think so!
* Damian: “pulls out gun” I think so!
* “Damian shoots Claudia and the player three times in the chest each. Both collapse.”
* “Claudia and the player wake up at the precinct where we’re on Nico’s hospital beds.”
* Nico: You two are very lucky to have survived those shots. Claudia, if he’d have shot one inch closer, he’d have hit your heart! Detective’s fine, but Claudia, you’ll need some time off from being in the field. It’s the only way to guarantee you’ll make a safe recovery!
* Nico: Luckily, both of you will be fine.
* “Vivian bursts into the room holding her computer”
* Vivian: You guys, I found something!
* Claudia: Vivian?! What did you find?!
* Vivian: I know Damian’s identity!
* Vivian: You remember the fingerprints you found in his bunker during Kabuto Madison’s murder, right?
* Claudia: Yeah. What about them?
* Vivian: It took some digging, but I was finally able to identify them!
* Vivian: “Damian” is none other than a certain Tomas Church, and his story is very interesting to say the least. 
* Vivian: He was a stay-at-home dad until his wife, Alice Church, was shot and killed by law enforcement. Apparently she was accused of committing white-collar crimes. 
* Vivian: The file said she first committed suicide when they showed up, but then I saw the cause of death was three gunshot wounds to the head and chest when her husband got an autopsy!
* Vivian: It was obviously a cover-up, especially since Alice was known in the community as an overall amazing person and she never committed any of these other crimes in her life. They were committed by colleagues of hers and she took the fall for it because she tried to live a humble life despite how filthy rich she was!
* Vivian: The records on their son are so confidential I can’t even get a name for him! Just that he was assumed dead at age 13!
* Vivian: And after his wife’s death, Tomas completely vanished!
* Vivian: Tomas has every right to be angry! In fact, I’d go as far as to say he’s in the right here! 
* Claudia: I’m sorry but what?! He killed hundreds of people?
* Vivian: I know…what he’s done is horrible…but he has a right to be upset…
* Claudia: He doesn’t have a right to kill these people though!
* Vivian: I know. He needs to be stopped…
* Vivian: Something I learned very early on is that jot everything is black and white, Claudia. To you, everything’s good or bad. You probably got it from your posh lifestyle but you need to come to realize that. 
* Vivian: You always have to pick a side and say that everything is either completely good or completely bad. 
* Claudia: …
* Claudia: I’ll work on my problems later. But for now, we need to find a way to make sure Tomas doesn’t kill again!
* Alejandro: Speaking of killing, Fiona’s cellmate who she escaped with has just been found dead in a high school science room!
* Alejandro: According to her records she has nothing to do with the cult and doesn’t have any deceased relatives, but we might be able to find a lead regardless!
