He will talk after the third time.
I’ve found that if you start cutting off the tips of the fingers down to the first knuckle, one at a time that you’ll usually get all the talking necessary before you reach the middle knuckles.
Of all the folks who ever wanted to just disappear, get a new face, and live quietly in Bolivia the rest of his days, this man had the means to do it.
Instead he let his greed continue to drive him.
Me? I'd be living on the Kamchatka peninsula by a volcano, making payments to the local crime boss to run interference for me. Oh, and I'd buy a new face. Handsome this time.
