War-Rock: “King” is a battle for control and to test our limits.
Liz: Control? Control what?
War-Rock: That you don’t need to know.
Liz: Wait then why won’t the police interfere then?
Witness: Part is that we pay them off there is lots of money for every fight many powerful people take bets to see who will win, even the power houses in the police force take part in bets.
Liz: And the other part?
Witness: You don’t need to know.
