That’s referred to as an ‘encounter’, a ‘pretend encounter’. It’s form of a horrific judicial… I’m certain it’s fully unlawful. However it’s cinematically fairly disturbing as properly, and that’s form of what my character does. However he’s satisfied he’s an excellent man, as a result of (he thinks) it’s required.”

However sure, I’m actually liberal and easygoing, and I feel everyone seems to be entitled to a good trial earlier than judgement. I’m actually not for executing suspected criminals, which my character appears to like to do.”
