Insomnia | Dormer confronts Finch

Why didn't you come forward with this information when she died?
She swore me to secrecy, she didn't want anybody to know about that --
Even when she was dead she didn't want anybody to know? Beaten to death.
I was honoring her wishes --
Her body dumped on a pile of garbage.
I was her friend!
You weren't her friend.
All right, acquaintance, all right? We were close, and I was just –
You were close?
Mm-hmm.
She was... attractive. Did you have sex with her?
She was seventeen!
Seventeen? She was attractive.
I suppose.
Suppose? She was.
Right.
Yeah, so did you have sex with her?
No, I was her mentor.
You bought her things.
Yeah.
Gifts.
Yes.
What kind of gifts?
Books mostly, that's what she loved.
Books?
Mm-hmm.
What about this? [shows him a necklace] You gave her this?
Yes.
Why?
“Why”?
You wanted to see how she looked with it on?
No.
No? Why would you give her jewelry?
Just a present.
Present.
Yeah.
You bought a lot of presents. You bought her a dress.
Yes, what's wrong with that?
No, nothing wrong. I'm just trying to figure out what kind of mentor you were.
I gave her things she couldn't have.
Pff, you just wanted to fuck her, didn't you? You sick son of a bitch!
