"Every single thing Ive ever felt, wanted to feel, in one moment - hitting him. I had to hit him again. Somehow, I didnt have any choice. I wanted what he could give me, sitting there, letting me hit him. I wanted that. He knew. He was saying, like, "Welcome home." I had to kill him."

"Youve found it, havent you? Something like the truth? Does it surprise you? Shock you? Its there in everyone. You must know that better than anyone. Surely you know that, eh? Of course, you think just everyone else, not you. I suppose, being a policeman, you have to. Twenty years thinking youre different. It must get to be a habit, thinking, "Thank God Im not those other men." Its difficult. Its dangerous. But youre just the same, you see. In some ways youre one hell of a lot worse."
