remember that, you know, he,

163
00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:51,624
like, tried to throw me off
a building so he could kidnap

164
00:09:51,691 --> 00:09:54,327
you. That is as messed up
a sentence as I think I can

165
00:09:54,393 --> 00:09:56,429
conceive of, and yet,
it's absolutely true.

166
00:09:56,495 --> 00:09:58,464
What about the fact that he
kept a mannequin that looked

167
00:09:58,531 --> 00:10:01,000
exactly like you in his
apartment so that he could

168
00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:03,936
live out his sick, twisted
fantasies of a life with you?

169
00:10:04,003 --> 00:10:05,905
What about all the times
that he's used Douglas

170
00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:07,840

Why are we just ignoring this?

justifying or defending any

172

173
00:10:11,811 --> 00:10:14,213

say, "Oh, I think he's changed

174
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,148

175
00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:19,151

in everyone. Even Thomas.

176
00:10:19,218 --> 00:10:21,687
And yes, he has messed up,
but what matters is that

177
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,823
he's willing to--
>> Liam: No, no, no, no, no,

178
00:10:23,889 --> 00:10:25,958
no, no, m-- no, not messed up.
I have messed up, right?

179
00:10:26,025 --> 00:10:28,094
I'm the king of messing up.
What Thomas does is not

180
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,098
messing up. Thomas has been
fixated on you for years and

181
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,467
it festers and it festers
and it festers and when it

182
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:36,435
finally doesn't work,
when you turn him down,

183
00:10:36,502 --> 00:10:39,805
he gets dangerous.
He starts to do things that

184
00:10:39,872 --> 00:10:43,142
actually hurt people, okay?
So, this-- this is why

185
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:46,145
I'm asking you how you can
let this happen again.

00:10:46,212 --> 00:10:49,181
I am asking you how you can
let him in to your life again.

187

And I'm not just asking for me,
I'm asking for the sake of

188
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:54,720
