What a productive meeting for their undercover agent.

He came for bribery and was leaving with murder for hire.

Now he just needed Alan to confirm that he intended to go through with it, so that when Alan eventually went to trial, he couldn't say that he was misunderstood.

And now here we were, at that trial, listening to and looking at all the times and all the ways Alan said that yes, he really meant it.

He wanted Priscilla killed.

The agent asks Alan if he is sure.

And Alan says, I'm sure.

And he adds, I'm sure.

Alan says that this is not an emotional decision, not spur of the moment.

He's comfortable with it.

Don't fuck with me.

There's a bit more back and forth.

David will need pictures of Priscilla, location, everything for the people who'll do the job.

And then, just like that, Alan is showing David pictures of the kids.

Beautiful poodle.

Beautiful life.

The only problem is Priscilla.

Surely, after seeing these photos, David would see what a great father Alan was.

Surely, he would feel even better about helping Alan get rid of the fly in the ointment.

But David has a question.
