I knew of him being a criminal, but I also knew of him as my friend. A friend and that was enough to get me to help him. He did me a favour. More than one actually and that was me just repaying my debt. Is that not good enough for you? Anyway, I didn't have anything to lose. I was already a criminal myself. Now you can take me in but let me say this. He is a dangerous man. He will stop at nothing to have everyone accepting this new world that he will create. He will kill everyone who doesn't believe that what he is doing is correct. Now you can lock me up, but I am the only one that can get your world back from whatever mess he is going to make of it. So just let me. Everything I do is for you. You come before me. All of you do. It is a risk you would be taking, not locking me up, fine. But we can't live without risks. If we never risked anything then we would get food. We wouldn't get money. We would get buildings. More importantly, we wouldn't get you. All of you. Everything is a risk. Breathing is a risk, not that you think of it as one. This is a needed risk. We have to stick together. We have to trust people just a little bit. So we are going to beat him. Now, Andrew. We are going to beat you. You can believe, you can pray, but you will never win, and you know that. You know that I won't stop until my job is done, and you know that they are too stubborn to let you rule that easily. We will get you. We will find you. We will take the world back from you. We will win, and your life will be ruined because you can only think of yourself. Hope you made your will because today is your last. I'll make sure of that and if you don't believe me then fine, but I don't lie. Not about things like this. Now gather your team and fight us.
