My Dad used to bring me to pantomimes here when I was a kid.

I loved it so much. So he bought it for me.

Of course he did.

Of course he did.

Well, shall we talk business now?

Yeah.

So, the name?

Oh, Lars Meier.

He must be a big deal, he was really hard to find.

Fernanda seems lovely, by the way.

Ah, she's an idiot.

Oh see, you didn't play her right.

I would have gotten her to lead me to Lars.

I didn't say I was looking for him.

But see, here's what I can't figure out.

Why would you need to go through his ex

to track him down? Unless you don't know who he is?

Do you not know who he is?

My, my, your brain,

it's like a hamster on a wheel.

It must be exhausting.

On the subject of exes, I hear you've had a busy night.

You got her arrested? Wow! I'm impressed.

Stop!

(WINCES)

Fine.

It is Lars.

I'll race you.

Let's see who can find him first.

Oh, good God, Villanelle.

What's happened to you?

I thought you enjoyed all this, at least...

Talk.

You had a bracelet, a cheap little thing,

with a ballet slipper pendant attached to it.

I remember it because of what you did with it.

There was another girl at the orphanage

who, uh, upset you somehow, stole your pudding or something.

So, in the middle of the night, while she was sleeping,

you took the bracelet off and you tied it tightly around her index finger,

so that when she woke up some hours later, her finger was turning black.

The staff tried to cut it off,

but it was on so tightly they just were slicing flesh.

She lost the finger in the end.

Do you remember that?

When you heard that she had lost the finger...

(CHUCKLES)

You asked if you could see it.

(CAROLYN LAUGHS OUT LOUD)

Evil from birth.

You know, humans are like a mezze board.

The best of them have a little bit of everything.

you know, speaks to you a kind of, lack of humanity,

wrong.

Killing is primal. It's what nature intended.

And who are we to quibble with nature?

Why waste your time being good

when you could just be good at what you're good at?

That's what I think anyway.

But what do I know, I've just probably got concussion.
