Plot: In an unnamed European city, a young mother is fatally stabbed in front of her son by a passing migrant. A news report states that parents are afraid to let their children play outside and that women avoid going out after dark.

Michael Sanders is a former U.S. Army officer who moved to Europe after inheriting his estranged father’s real estate business. He secretly operates as the Vigilante Citizen, a ruthless vigilante who targets those who have escaped justice. While much of the public praises his actions, the police, led by Interpol’s Chief Henry, are determined to arrest him.

After killing a group of racketeers, Sanders confronts several fare-dodging thugs on a bus. He pays their fares so the journey can continue, but lectures them about the impact of their behavior on society. Later, at a hospital, Sanders visits Elsa, a rape victim who was severely beaten during her attack. He offers her a choice: pursue justice through the courts, with no guarantee of success, or endorse his intervention. She chooses to support him. Henry later asks Elsa for a description of her visitor, but she deliberately provides one that does not match Sanders. During a meeting with his business manager, Sanders orders the eviction of non-paying tenants and vows to oppose government efforts to seize vacant properties for migrant housing.

Suspicious of Sanders, Henry surveils a nightclub Sanders frequents. There, he watches Sanders switch the drinks of two men with the drugged beverages they had intended for their dates. Henry collects a drinking glass that Sanders used to obtain his DNA. After linking Sanders to the vigilante, Henry leads a Special Intervention Unit team to apprehend him. Sanders barricades himself inside an armored container and warns the officers to leave. The officers open fire, prompting Sanders to kill them before making his escape. An explosive booby-trap injures Henry. A subsequent news report suggests that rising crime and associated costs may necessitate a reassessment of migration policies.

Sanders later meets a teenage rape victim whose six migrant attackers were released without punishment because Judge Reinhold, the presiding judge in the case, considered them to be victims too (citing their difficulties integrating into society). The teenage victim tells Sanders that she has been denied justice. Sanders kills Reinhold and stages it as a suicide. The police later link the incident to multiple unexplained deaths involving judges.

While walking through a park, Sanders encounters the same thugs from the bus harassing a man. He crushes the hands of the two male assailants before warning them never to repeat their behavior. Sanders visits the home of Yusuf, one of the rapists, and takes him and his family hostage. As Yusuf’s relatives excuse his actions and blame the victim, Sanders orders Yusuf to summon his accomplices to the apartment. Once they arrive, Sanders executes Yusuf, his family, and the other attackers.

Sanders calls the hospitalized Henry and tells him to inform the government that the public will not tolerate a takeover by the woke left and Islamist extremists that will destroy democracy. He warns that the government must stop it or the people will do so themselves. Henry arranges to address the press if the prime minister will not listen to him.

At home, the teenage victim learns that her attackers are dead and smiles in satisfaction. A scrambled video message from Sanders is broadcast, declaring that his work will continue until the citizens learn to defend themselves.

ALL BEHAVIOR CAN BE TRACED BACK TO INSTINCTS.

[gun being loaded]

WHEN JUSTICE IS DENIED, INSTINCTS TURN TO VENGEANCE.
-ANONYMOUS

[gun cocked]

EUROPE

[faint whooshing of traffic]

[bright, bossa nova-style music]

Um…

Hm…

What about chocolate?

Okay, you can get it.

This?

No, baby, that is enough.

Come on, Scooter.

Hello. Hello.

Hello.

Okay.

[scanner beeping]

You can help me out with this. I’ll just put… like that.

How much is it?

[tapping, register beeps]

Okay, here we go, 30.

Thank you.

[register clacking]

Mom, can you help me?

Mm-hm. I’ll help you to hurry up a bit.

[plastic crinkling]

Like this.

[indistinct]

Bye!

Mwah!

Bye-bye, thank you.

Bye-bye.

[he sighs]

Can I now eat chocolates?

No, honey, later.

Okay.

[ominous music]

[chuckling]

[blade rasps]

Mama!

[screaming] [grunts]

[tense music]

[coughing]

Mom! Mom! Mom!

[faint whimper] Mom! Mom. Please, please. Mom!

[whimpers] Mom! Mom. Mom, Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom, please!

[faint whimpering]

[fanfare-like broadcast music]

The nation is gripped by fear as a wave of shock sweeps the country. A mother was murdered in broad daylight in front of her child by another suspected undocumented migrant. Parents are afraid to let their children play outside, and many women avoid venturing out after dark altogether.

[tense, ponderous music]

[staticky blips]

But in a twist that has captured the imagination of the public, hope doesn’t rest in the hands of government officials or law enforcement. Instead, it lies with an enigmatic figure, the vigilante citizen who’s delivering a brand of justice that some believe the authorities have failed to provide, targeting both criminals and those in power accused of allowing crime to flourish unchecked. We took to the streets to hear what people think about the shadowy figure. Here’s what they had to say.

He’s a real hero. You know, we work, we pay taxes, and for what? To help all of Africa? You see, they come here and we pay for them, and in return, we get robbed. And, as a woman, you cannot go out after 9 p.m. anymore. No, it’s too risky.

I love that guy. He goes out there, he goes against all those criminals. They laugh about the police but not about him.

Uh, I wanna marry him. I mean, he’s a real knight, and he helps the helpless.

The individual continues his vigilante form of justice, claiming the police and judicial systems are failing to protect the public. Last week, the leader of a prominent Middle Eastern crime syndicate, along with his associate, were discovered dead in a dumpster.

[click, chime]

That guy out there? Wow.

Have you heard of this vigilante crime-fighter guy over in Europe? He’s, like, the real deal. This man is taking out the trash. I think we need somebody over here in the States like that. What do you guys think? Comment down below, let me know.

[click, chime]

[engine rumbling]

[tense rhythmic music]

[burst of static]

[clicking]

There’s been a lot said about me, so I thought you should hear directly from me. Everything that I do, I do for you. I can’t sit here and watch you exist in a state of sleep paralysis anymore. The truth is this: You are all being used. You are all nothing but playthings. Every soldier who’s gone off to war thinking that their death was for an idea, or that their sacrifice was important for society, has been played. Clinton. Biden. Trump. You never see them on the front lines of any battle. Why? Because they’d never risk their own lives. They have you. They have tricked you into thinking that you are dying for your country, but your country doesn’t do anything for you either. You walk down the street, and you get stabbed, or robbed, killed, and what does your country do? Nothing. And what do you do? Nothing. The universe demands balance. Yin must match yang.

[panting, metal clanking]

Okay. Listen. You two don’t say anything when we are in. I do the talking shit and you just look angry, and that’s it. And if that motherfucker’s not paying up today, you will burn his fucking store down, understand?

Yeah. Yes, boss.

Go.

‘Cause if you do nothing…

[clicking]

…I have to do something.

[dark music]

I have to do something– something–do something…

What happened to the lights?

[clicking]

[gunfire]

Oh, shit!

[yelps and cries]

[bullet casings clinking to floor]

[tense music]

Look. This guy is… greatness, okay? We need more guys like this in Canada, okay? We need ’em! I love him. Is that weird?

[click, chime]

[door slams shut]

In an effort to address these escalating incidents, we obtained an official statement from Interpol Regional Chief Henry, who is leading the initiative to apprehend this vigilante.

Am I reading this one?

Yeah, read it all.

[police radio chatter]

Okay, 203.

1124 here.

Uh, we’ve calculated we might need another vehicle.

[staticky blips]

I am here to support local and federal law enforcement. The investigation is leading to the possibility of, uh, international terror cell that is against democracy. And it is not impossible that this terror group is, uh, a movement supported by Russian and/or Chinese government institutions that, uh, are not only active online, but already active on the ground, fighting our countries in the EU and the USA. There are indications leading in this direction.

[dark music]

[bus’s motor rumbles]

[engine idling]

Hey, hey, hey! Hey, guys, your tickets.

Fuck you!

Guys. Guys, you did not pay your tickets. It’s 1.50 per person.

Fuck off and drive.

It’s 1.50 per person.

Didn’t I tell you to sit down and drive the fucking bus?

One-fifty per person, please.

Gentlemen. Everyone on this bus has somewhere they have to be, and for some of us, it’s urgent, so, please resolve your issues and go drive the bus.

Which I understand. It’s just the thing that I will not continue driving the bus without everyone having tickets on it.

Fine.

One-fifty times three, four-fifty, there you go. Let me get you your change.

Keep the change.

Thank you very much. Enjoy.

What a fuckin’ loser.

Thank you.

Who we are and what we do has ramifications in our lives, and in the lives of everyone around us, hm? You don’t understand? All right. Pay attention, let me explain this to you. If you get onto a bus and you don’t pay your ticket, if you go to the movie theater, if you grab a banana at a grocery store and you don’t pay, eventually, the cost of everything will go up. If ten percent doesn’t pay, the cost will go up ten percent to cover the loss, and that’s not fair. You might not understand this, but think about it. I’m sure you’ll come to the right decision.

[dark music]

You’re gonna look back at this moment and realize that it is the luckiest you have ever been. Believe me.

[metallic rattling]

[gun cocking]

[brakes hissing]

Thanks for the tickets, sir.

[engine rumbling]

[faint whooshing of traffic]

[birds chirping]

[indistinct chatter]

[machinery beeping]

[whimpering]

[chair clanking]

Please, only ten minutes. She’s very weak.

Hello, Elsa.

[faint exclamation]

I can’t even imagine everything you’ve been through. What do you want?

Who are you?

I’m just here to help. What do you want to happen?

What do you mean?

The men who did this to you. What do you want to happen to them?

I want them to go to jail for the rest of their lives.

Hm. And they might. Of course, we won’t know till the end of the trial, and that could take years. And, of course, you’ll have to participate in that trial, telling the story of what those men did to you over and over, in a room full of people who are going to call you a liar…

[she grunts]

…and try to poke holes in every detail of your story. And we’ll also have to get lucky with a judgment. You never know how those things are gonna turn out. And then, during that long and expensive trial, we have to hope and pray that the men who did this to you don’t do the same exact thing to somebody else.

[exclaims]

Is that the justice that you want?

No!

Do you want justice?

Yes!

[ominous music]

[crying]

Goodbye, Elsa.

[she whimpers]

[long, weepy exhalation]

I love this guy. We need someone like him in Germany.

That guy is great. We need guy like this in Italy.

[phone chimes]

[suspenseful music]

Just to be very clear, I don’t live here. I’m here…sure, uh, taking care of family assets that happen to be here, but I don’t have residency here. If the DNA that you’re talking about at the bar is my DNA, two things: one, I would… I would love for you guys to explain to my lawyer how you managed to obtain the DNA of a foreign national. Being an American citizen, I’m just unclear how you would’ve gotten my DNA in the first place, but I’m sure that’s something you can clear up with my lawyers. But also, as I’ve said, this is a bar that I frequent, and it is a unit that I own. So, we are a very hands-on landlord and management company, and whenever a tenant moves out, quite often, we will go through the unit to inspect for damage, to make sure that, if we can, we can give them as much of their security deposit back as possible.

[soft clattering]

[clicking-shutter sound]

[police radio chatter]

Chief. Come in, Chief. Over.

Yes?

Tracked a signal, we got a lock on him. We’re moving out.

Okay, okay. Give me the address. Let’s pay this fucker a visit.

[tense, dynamic music]

[engine rumbling]

[sigh]

[engine rumbling]

[deep, echoing click]

What if everything they ever taught you was utter nonsense? What if that’s what Nietzsche meant when he said it’s cold and lonely at the top of the mountain of wisdom? A place free from imposed morals or false religions or politics. A place free from manmade tools of oppression only meant to control you. Look. If you want the cold, hard truth, I’ll give it to you. We can change history. The state, the court, police. See, you think that they’ve failed you, but they haven’t, because they were never meant to give you justice. No. They only exist to control you. See, but I’m here to help you take that control back.

[tense, pulsating music]

[engines rumbling]

[gun cocking]

Okay, I’m here.

[tense, sultry music]

Stand up.

Fifty.

One position.

Mm.

Anything extra, 30 bucks.

Good.

On the bed. Get on the bed.

[unzipping]

[she moans]

[he exhales deeply]

[spits]

[he groans]

[unsettling music]

What it is?

Go.

[grunts]

[sighs]

It’s mold. When you let clients shower in the bathroom after you’re done, you open the window?

No.

Why? If you let them shower and it gets hot, the steam builds up. Then you get mold in the room.

But why you care?

Because I own the building.

You own the building?

Mm.

Wow. Really?

What, you think your pimps own the building?

I-I don’t know. So, I shouldn’t have took your money?

I mean, of course, you did your job.

[energetic music]

You started, anyway. Now, we finish.

[gasps]

[moans]

[groans]

[moans]

[groans]

[sighs]

[heavy breathing]

Tell the managers about the mold. Tell them if they don’t take care of it, I’ll be back.

Yes, I will. So, I get 30 more bucks? You do.

Okay.

[clears throat]

[bills rustling]

Plus a little extra.

Mm. Thank you.

[exciting music]

[crowd cheering]

So, what are we drinking? Tequila.

Tequila! Yeah!

This is our last night.

And we are really– We are nice people, okay?

I’m not, I’m not buying it.

No, you’re not.

We don’t believe you at all. I’m not buying it.

[indistinct]

I don’t believe you.

And we have a nice hotel room.

Oh, really?

With the best breakfast.

I saw you on TV. You’re that guy from Interpol.

TV, yes. Uh, tonight, I’m just a man having a drink. Can’t work all the time.

Cin cin.

Nobody really wants you to catch this vigilante, you know?

Maybe you’re right. But, uh, we have the law for a reason. And, uh, people that are innocent, they can go home. People that are guilty must pay the price. You know, we cannot have vigilantes running around doing their own thing, you know? That’s why I’m here. We don’t want society to collapse.

Who cares?

Who cares? Yes, who cares?

[overlapping chatter]

You can talk to him, but–

We’re gonna go to the restroom right now.

You guys don’t have a choice–

Come on, drink with us.

I’m gonna leave you right now.

We all–

Hey, you guys don’t have a choice anymore.

Later.

Sorry.

Hey, one drink. No choice, okay guys? You got it, right?

Okay.

Nice…I love those two.

The hotel room it is, okay?

One drink with us?

[laughs] Dude, man, I love that shit. That’s awesome, man.

Dibs on the blonde.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, she was– Hey, dude, she was on my lap.

You know what that means. I don’t care.

No–H-hey. Okay, I’m going to share, okay?

I’m going to share.

But the thing is, like, she is awesome, dude.

Thank you.

I feel like everybody in this building is awesome, right? Yeah, you too. You too. Oh, yeah.

[laughs]

But the thing is, like–

No, no, wait a minute, so you got the drops?

I got the drops. So, put ’em in, you know?

All right, okay.

Just like–But not too much, right?

Just pay–pay attention.

There we go.

[indistinct]

Come on.

That’s right. That’s right.

Keep it simple. Keep it simple, right?

You ready?

I’m so ready. I was born ready, dude.

[laughs]

As soon as they’re back, you know, you just go for the drinks straight away.

We gotta leave?

No, we gotta leave in a minute, yeah, but we gonna go for the drink first. And then, we’re gonna make sure that we gonna get them to the hotel room.

Hey, you guys with the two pretty girls that just went to the bathroom?

Yeah, what’s up?

Someone’s giving them a hard time over there. You might wanna go step in.

Yo, you serious?

He’s fucking joking.

Would be a weird joke.

What–Okay.

But if you’re fucking with us, I’m gonna come back and smash up your fucking face, dude.

Okay. Yeah.

It’s funny, right?

[chuckles dryly]

[crowd noises]

[giggles]

It’s show time, baby.

Hey, dude, we had this crazy dude coming up talking some bullshit or something.

Yeah, I’m not– I’m not buying that.

It’s a female bathroom, what kind of guys?

Well, I-I don’t know. Couldn’t be any guy–

Female bathroom, like–

Guys, guys, please. You know what? You know what we need?

This.

Raise this, immediately.

Okay.

To new friends and bad decisions.

That’s good.

Gonads up! You’re gonna have some beautiful sausages, guys. Here we go, right?

Cheers.

Oh, I’m sorry.

Wait, can we do it again?

Cheers!

Whoo!

Oh, shit.

Whoo. Oh, shit.

Uh, yeah, I think we need four more, huh?

Oh, I-I-I’d wait with that.

Oh, wow. Maybe you could use it.

You know, you’re a really naughty boy.

Unfortunately, it seems like a coincidence, I do go to that bar quite often. It’s one of my favorite bars. Could I have been at the bar and moved a glass from a stool where I wanted to sit? Potentially. It’s definitely a possibility.

[energetic music]

Hey!

What is wrong with you? Dude, my head is spinning.

Are you–Do you want– D-Do–

Uh, are you okay? Come on, rich boy.

[indistinct]

I think he’s playing with us.

Are you– I’m good, I’m good.

Give me a second, give me a second.

Can you answer something?

Okay. What’s wrong? Come on.

Do you need some water, or do you want to, like–

[voice trails off]

I think it’s time for you girls to go.

Why? What do you mean?

These two guys, when you were in the bathroom, they put something in your drink.

Are you serious? What are you talking about?

I switched them. That’s what’s going on. They drank ’em. Hence…

[slaps]

…sleepy-time.

So, no matter what you do, you don’t have to go home, but I wouldn’t stay with them. Have a good night.

Ugh, fuck.

Let’s just go. Fucking bullshit.

[concerned murmuring]

We sure this is the right house?

It’s what I was told. We’re ready.

Good. Let’s move.

[dramatic music]

[chains clinking]

[saw cutting]

[chains clattering]

Guns up!

Go, go, go, go.

[gun clicking]

[clicking]

[device beeps]

[fire swooshes]

[door bangs]

[overlapping chatter]

[news fanfare]

It’s possible that this is not just a single individual. However, what remains clear is that our current system is failing to protect our citizens. This raises critical questions. If the risks associated with migration outweigh the benefits, and if migrants are contributing more to societal cost than economic gains, then it may be time to reevaluate our migration policies.

[tense music]

Three, two, one. Go.

[device beeps]

[explosion]

[heavy bang]

[smoke bomb clattering]

[smoke bomb booming]

Come out. Surrender.

I understand that you’re here to do your job. I have no interest in killing all of you, but if you try to stop me from doing my job, I will be forced to kill you all. This is your last warning to leave.

Fire!

[guns firing]

[upbeat music]

[guns firing]

[screams]

[impact sounds]

Team B, you’re on. Let’s go.

[grunts of pain]

[yells]

Let’s move, move, move, move.

[pained yells]

[screams]

[blood sprays]

[shrieks]

[groans]

[shrieks]

[glass shatters]

[blood gushing]

[distant yelling]

[indistinct office chatter]

What’s the matter? Mr. Sanders. We had no idea you were dropping by today.

Well, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise inspection if you did, would it?

Well, we do have the half-year figures for you, so–

Good.

Please, follow me to my– To your office.

[keyboard clacking]

[sighs]

Uh, hope you don’t mind me using your office while you’re gone. Gonna need some privacy for delicate calls with tenants who are behind on their rent.

How many are behind on the rent?

Oh, we’re always under 10%. So, on average, 90% of the rent comes in each month.

Are there fluctuations, or is it the same 10% each month? If so, I want them evicted.

Well, the procedure is after three months of unpaid rent, we send a final notice to pay within four weeks. And if that payment doesn’t come through, we get a court order. And that will allow us to evict them within seven months total.

So, if somebody doesn’t want to pay, they get to live for free for seven months.

If you want to see it that way, then you’re right.

Is there another way to look at it? We have 3,500 units in this city, Owen. That brings us in 50,400,000 Euro annually. 10% of that is 5,040,000 Euros that people are stealing from me. That’s unacceptable. Evict them immediately.

Well, the problem is the courts won’t order an eviction anytime sooner than that.

May be true. So, you’ll start pressuring them after four weeks of nonpayment. If that doesn’t work, you give me their addresses and my people will sort it out.

Okay, um… we can try that.

No. We do that. How’s the Grand Allee project coming along?

Um, technical acceptance is scheduled for the end of the week. So, all tenants can move back in on Monday.

What a shitshow that was. We’re never using that contractor again.

No.

Also, Owen, the plumbing in my villa’s not finished yet. Have them get on that.

Sure.

Also, went by the Ljubljana project. I took some pictures. Look at this.

Oh. That’s bad. Uh, I mean, the gauge will be an easy fix, but the facade–

No. No, we don’t do a project that big on that building. Just make sure it’s not gonna collapse.

Certainly. Huh, well, we sure miss having your father around here.

Hm. Never went hunting with my dad.

No? Hm, that’s surprising.

Is it? My mother died when I was young and he just shipped me off to boarding school. I saw him two times a year. I don’t know anything about him. Didn’t even know he had cancer.

I’m sorry to hear that. Oh, he always was very proud of your career in the military, though.

Sort out that 10%, Owen.

Understood. Uh, there is one more issue to address. Uh, recently, the tax authorities investigated deeper into the ownership of your holding companies, and that raised a few questions. I mean, since you’re not a registered citizen here, nor did you enter the country legally, uh, we might run in a few problems. We own a lot of social housing units, and, uh, the government wants to seize empty units for housing migrants.

No. We can rent them to them at full cost. What do we always say, Owen?

No empty units.

No empty units.

They want to know who owns those companies. And if we fail to provide that information, they will seize all the units on the Kazin block, without payment or revenue.

Well, I’m sure our lawyers will have something to say about that.

Certainly. But there is only so much they can do. I urge you to reconsider and provide the information they requested. Leave. After all, they will probably roll out the red carpet for you and even grant you citizenship without asking any question.

Oh, I’m an American, Owen. I’m just here on an extended vacation. Sort the 10%.

Yes, sir.

Oh, uh, and here are the half-year figures for you.

I’ve seen ’em.

[sighs]

[typing]

It smells like a nursing home in here. Let’s get some fresh blood.

[door slams]

[suspenseful music]

[metal clinking]

[knife swishing]

[traffic sounds]

[glasses clinking]

So early?

It’s been a long day, Jenny.

Huh. Okay.

[liquid sloshing]

Uh, here.

Okay. I go back. I have a delivery.

Ah. I’ll watch the bar.

Yes. Okay.

Well, my father and I were estranged, I guess you could say. Um, I didn’t really have much of a relationship with him growing up. Uh, my mother passed when I was young. And I think the emotional weight of my mother’s passing, as well as the weight of trying to grow his company meant that he had other priorities, which is something I’ve come to terms with. And now that I’m running things around here, I can really understand. So, it’s not like I hold it against him anymore. I was still in active duty in the United States Army. And we got a call in the office that I was working in letting me know that my father had passed. I found myself on my way here for the first time… couple days later for his funeral.

[sirens]

[ominous music]

[walkie-talkie chatter]

[footsteps approaching]

Oh. What a fucking mess.

He’s playing with us. There’s nobody in that box anymore.

Check the perimeter.

Check their pulse.

Fuck!

[tense music]

This shit has to stop. It’s gonna stop.

Good afternoon.

Yes? What do you want? Who are you? Another one of those reporters?

Do I look like a reporter to you? No, I just have one question.

Were you satisfied with the result that was reached in court? And was your daughter?

Why do you ask this? How can you ask this? How do you know where we live?

So, you found no justice in court, right?

I don’t have to answer your questions, man. This is bullshit. Go away.

No. There was no justice.

Have a good afternoon.

[sighs]

[machines beeping]

Hello, Elsa. I’m with Interpol. And we are very sorry with what happened to you. Please believe me. We will use all of our resources to find whoever did this to you, and put them in jail for a long time. But you told me that you have them, that you know where they are.

Elsa, I have not been here before. This is the first time we’re talking. Y-You were in a coma for three weeks. You maybe, you mistaken me with somebody else.

[rasped breathing]

Yes. Maybe it was your colleague that… He was very friendly. He asked me if I want justice.

My colleague? Was he wearing a uniform? Did he give you a name?

[groans]

What did he look like? What did he look like?

He was small.

Caucasian?

No. More Middle-Eastern looking. Uh, black hair. Beard.

Elsa, would it be okay if I get our sketch-artist to come so you can give a description? Then it would be a great help. You rest, okay?

Mm.

I will come back.

[machines beeping]

Rest a while.

[door creaks]

[dark music]

[footsteps approaching]

[non-English taunting]

I-I don’t understand you.

[overlapping taunts]

Please, just, can I please just have–

[overlapping taunts]

No, no!

No, no, okay, I just–

No, please, no, don’t do that.

[overlapping taunts]

[suspenseful music]

[distant commotion]

Please, just–

[pained grunts]

You want? Please.

Your telephone, huh?

Call your mommy.

I just need my–I just need my phone, that’s…that’s all.

That’s all.

[yells]

Ugh.

Get your phone. Call your parents. Just tell them you want to press charges on each one of these pieces of shit. I’ll give you their names.

[pained moan]

Hello, boys. You remember me? If I ever see you put your hands on anyone else ever again, I will visit you, and you will not be walking away from it. You understand? And you. You remember when I told you on the bus that it was your lucky day? Maybe now you understand why.

If the police don’t protect you, I have to protect you. And if the courts and laws don’t give you justice… I will give you justice. And remember, I do this for you… until you learn to do it for yourself.

[tense music]

[camera shutters clicking]

[sirens wailing]

Yes. Understood.

We searched the neighborhood. Full lockdown, two miles perimeter. Nothing.

This place was rented under Molly Ling, a Chinese woman who was paid cash to sign the lease. She said the mechanic gave her the money but stated he had no work permit. Tell me.

Upstairs all clear.

Look around. Nothing personal. This was all a facade… to set up a fortress. Open it. Let’s go, move.

Let’s go, go, go!

[saw grinding]

[suspenseful music]

Judge Reinhold.

Who are you?

Here from the Chief Inspector’s Office. We have new information that’s come to light.

[camera beeps, shutter clicks]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Hope you’re not feeling too nauseous, Judge. That shot I gave you… it’s gonna be very suspicious when that turns up in your blood, isn’t it? Let’s hope they don’t run a toxicology report on your body. Eh, who knows? Maybe you have a bit of a tolerance for heroin. Seem to like heroin dealers, anyway. How many of them have you let back onto the street? The laws are meant to protect the victims, right? It’s not the perpetrators. Maybe that’s when you lost your north star, when you started using the laws to help people hurt people. You know, it’s not just the perpetrators. You cause collateral damage, Judge. It’s people like you letting people get away with rape and murder. Excusing their behavior. Letting people get away with rape and murder. Six boys raped a 14-year-old girl. I saw your interview in front of the courthouse. Saw you say that these boys just had an adjustment issue, that they didn’t know how to fit in to society. But what you don’t understand is the society that you think they don’t fit into is falling apart and dying. And you are the cancer that is killing it. And you know, Judge, it’s people like you letting these people get away with it… excusing their behavior. Hm? How do you think that makes the families feel?

Human beings are such sheep. Even when you push them to the limit, they will obey the law, even if their own lives are in danger. Here, I’ll show you.

See what happened? That car, when we went into their lane, instead of just crossing the line and breaking the law and going into our lane, they went into a ditch and most likely died.

[birds chirping]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[indistinct speaking]

[sighs]

You smell that, Your Honor? That’s that good clean country air. I’d like to show you something.

[typing]

Look. That’s you. Get away, get away.

[device beeping]

Let’s see what you had to say.

Right, this is all I have prepared, and this is all that I’m going to say to you. Our politics fail to integrate teenage migrants into our society. Also didn’t give them the help to function by our rules and our laws. The gang rape was, in a way, a cry for help and structure. Not only the young girl is the victim. They are also victims.

You really believe that?

Also the perpetrators are getting traumatized. It doesn’t help the young girl if they’re getting locked up now, and getting their normal life for a long time denied. That’s all, gentlemen.

That was you after letting a gang of rapists free.

[car chiming]

You let a gang of rapists go. You know what that makes you? Just as bad as the perpetrators. Might as well have raped her yourself. Maybe that’s why you decided… to come out here and drown your sorrows.

Hello, Ibrahim. Blessings to you and your family. I was wondering if we could have a quick chat about your son.

Are you a journalist?

No, I’m just a citizen. Here to help.

If you want something, you can go to our lawyer. We don’t have nothing to say. Sorry.

Maybe we have just a little chat.

[gun clicks]

Back.

[door slams]

[gasps]

Oh, good, Yusuf’s here. Relax. Go.

Hello, Yusuf.

Yusuf, run.

Where are they gonna go?

No. No, stop.

[gunshot]

[screaming, shrieking]

What are you doing?

Yusuf, honey! Oh, Yusuf!

Go tend to your son. Tie something around his leg. I didn’t hit an artery, he should be fine.

You. You. Get the cell phones off the table. All of them. Pick them up. Move Yusuf to the couch. Over to the couch. Cell phones down on the table.

What do you want from us?

Face down on the table. I want you to have a seat. And we’re gonna have a little chat.

What are you doing?

Have a seat. Have a seat. Sit. Three, two, one… Smart man.

You are strong. Don’t worry.

So, I guess you’re wondering why I’m here, hm?

[shouting, screaming]

You are here because of my son, ’cause of the court.

Mm. Mm.

The court that freed him. And it is the court from your country.

Of course. Because your son and his friends had to rape that 14-year-old girl.

[screaming, struggling]

[grunts]

They’re so traumatized from their childhood that they couldn’t keep their dicks in their pants.

He’s young. He don’t know nothing.

Hm. Is that why you did it, Yusuf?

I’m sorry. I’m sorry we did that. We thought she wanted it.

[screaming]

You thought that she wanted you to grab her and pull her into a bush in a quiet part of the park.

[grunting]

That she wanted you to put your hand over her mouth while your seven friends took turns raping her. She had to crawl out of those bushes on her hands and knees, and now she lives every single day afraid of what you and your friends might do since you were acquitted. That was very good work by your attorney, by the way, painting them as the victim. What was it, “traumatic integration”?

We’re all getting mental help now and support. We will be better in the future, I promise that.

That’s the right answer. The only problem is that on your social media, since the event, I have not seen any regret…

[groaning]

…or empathy. In fact, I think you said that she deserved to be raped.

What I mean is that they dress wrong and just make boys horny with their miniskirts.

Hm.

They show their legs and breasts.

You wrote that she deserved it.

I will delete it.

Are these the values you’re teaching your children?

I teach him the values from Quran and the values from our family.

Hm. Well, if these are your values, that women in America and Europe deserve to be raped because of a dress code, why did you come here?

You know that we have several war in our country and we have a dangerous life. That’s why we are here. And I think you know that.

Do you know what I think?

What?

I don’t think it was the good ones that got out of your country. I think it was the bad ones. And I think you brought with you your archaic value system and your commitment to religion over democracy and over anything else, including the rule of law. Yusuf, you’re gonna pick up your phone, you’re gonna start calling your friends one by one and telling them to come over here right now, that you have new information for them.

No.

Yes, you will.

And what are you going to do with them?

Oh, we’re just gonna have a little chat, same as we’re having right now.

I will not call them.

No? Interesting. Five, four, three, two…

Yusuf, call right now. Call!

[dialing cell phone]

Thank you.

[phone rings]

Hey, Abdul. It’s me. You need to come over here right now. We could get charged again. We have a problem. I’m here with my attorney. And bring your brother and call Idris. No, right now.

[tense music]

Good job, Yusuf. Now call the next one.

[doorbell rings]

No. Sit.

Sit.

You. Go get the door. No funny business or I shoot mom. Go.

Okay, okay.

[whimpering]

What’s wrong?

Come.

What the fuck happened? What’s wrong?

Here is somebody from the State Attorney’s Office.

[soft music]

[groans] Hello.

Hello, Chief Henry. I’m very happy you survived because I have a message for you to take to the government.

What is this message?

It’s the same message I told you when you tried to storm my bunker. That the people will not accept a takeover.

[sighs] What you are attempting here… you cannot be allowed to continue this mayhem. You see, as much as I love Europe and its deep history, you simply cannot continue. My officers and I, we swore to an unbreakable pledge to protect and serve, and you now have crossed the line too many times. You’re hurting innocent people, including myself. This is unacceptable. I have no choice but to bring you in, and I will.

These people you speak of, they never voted for what’s happening. This is an unfriendly takeover by the Islamist extremists and blindsided woke left. And if this takeover is successful, it’ll destroy the democracy you say you love. All the freedom, everything you enjoy and stand for. There’s only one option. You end this or we the people will end it ourselves. Now take this message.

I remind you, my oath, my job, is part of the stability of this democracy you speak of. And you overestimate my capabilities of delivering this message.

I don’t think so, Chief. After all, you’re the only one with the message. Now take it to them. They will listen.

[tense music]

Three judges have recently died under circumstances initially ruled a suicide, though their timing appears highly suspicious. Today, yet another judge was discovered dead in their car on the outskirts of the city. Authorities are now investigating what they consider to be a series of murders rather than coincidences.

[solemn music]

Ivo? Write down this number. Then, call my superior. I need to speak to the prime minister. If she won’t talk to me… you find every member of the press, you bring them to me.

Yes, sir.

[beeps]

All individuals implicated in the recent gang rape case who avoided prison sentences are now dead… including the entire family of Yusuf al-Sharaa, who resided there. It appears the vigilante citizen has struck again. This raises pressing questions. What possesses the greater threat to society: the criminals committing these heinous acts or the vigilante who is eliminating them? According to Europe’s criminal statistics, over 105,000 violent crimes were attributed to migrants last year, including 980 murders and over 18,000 reported cases of sexual assault involving immigrants from Africa. What does this mean for our legal system? Is this vigilante only stepping in because our system has failed to ensure safety and justice for the public? Stay safe out there, and thank you for watching World News.

[majestic music]

[static crackles]

[solemn music]

I’m here to help you take that control back. I’m here to show you that you are no longer the victims. I’m here to show you that it’s time to go out and show these fuckers that they aren’t getting away with it anymore.

[whooshing]

[static crackles]

Remember: I do this for you… until you learn to do it for yourself.
