And I just wanna fucking die.

And but for the last 10 years of my life, I have been hunting an animal who is doing the masquerade as the man. I have been hunting this Howard Howe. Howard Howe, this elusive, uh... devil made of the flesh. This serial killer who makes the bringing of the blood and terror to the true north.
Guy Lapointe: I... Am very dedicated man and I have sacrificed my life. Too many marriages, any chance at happiness, and very likely, some may say, my, uh... sanity. All in the pursuit of this butcher of the men. And because of this, the solace of the sleep most of the time eludes me. But last night, after you call me, I sleep like the breast-fed baby. And I wake up this morning, in the morning, and I know that in my bones, my quarry is close. And he is so close that I can almost smell his shit. Pardon my French.
