On the one hand, he was a very good policeman, but on the other, it was obvious that he loves to play with fire. Nick was written off with him, "Esterhaz told. "And once I met a dancer in the bar, and we poisoned with her to the hotel," continued the screenwriter. "And at some point she took a gun from a handbag and put on me." "Tell me at least one reason why I should not press the trigger," she said. "But I did not do anything wrong. You myself wanted to come here, and as far as I understood, you liked everything, "I replied. "All guys make it with me, and I'm tired of it," she said. We then talked for a long time with her before she finally lowered the gun. Catherine is largely similar to her. "
