It takes a certain type of actor to stand out when playing alongside a strong female lead like Shailene Woodley. (We don‘t mince words when we call the actress a badass.)

01:05she's exactly what Jenny needs. She's the perfect subject. You're responsible for the death of hundreds of
01:14people. You know the punishment for that. Listen, I found a way to live with the blood on my hands
01:22and can you?
01:24hmm
