And I'm the obvious link. [fair enough] Dave made me promised not to tell anyone what my role was unless I absolutely needed to, so I won't tell you what I actually am in the stupid hope that maybe if I stay loyal to him he might talk to me in the afterlife. [That was also said in that dull, dead monotone. Like he knows it's a lost cause but can't help otherwise.] I figure Jake told you he knew the Copycat's identity. Did Dave say he knew?
