I'm busting down doors three nights a week.
And I worked for this guy, lovely, lovely guy.
Nice suits, just a really, like very professorial.
And he gives me a hug and he leans in and he says, kill them all.
And I said, really?
Have we gotten there already?
And he says, kill them all.
And then I went to the airport.
I was like, am I the only guy who thinks we should do this by the book?
That's crazy, man.
You should see some of the pictures I have on my phone.
They'll make your hair stand up.

So as soon as we started catching these guys, I mean, I'd only been there about a week.
We started catching them.
And my boss is like, interrogate him.
