NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,836 --> 00:00:06,704
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,773 --> 00:00:08,604
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:11,439
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:13,479
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,447 --> 00:00:15,812
I thought you
said you had a room?
7
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:17,314
I said I had a place.
8
00:00:17,384 --> 00:00:19,375
Seriously, I've got just enough
for you and then cab fare.
9
00:00:19,452 --> 00:00:21,010
No watch, no jewelry, nothing.
10
00:00:21,087 --> 00:00:22,145
You think I wanna rob you?
11
00:00:22,222 --> 00:00:24,087
I know I'm not
going near that bridge.
12
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:26,356
Then here.
13
00:00:27,927 --> 00:00:29,326
Come on.
It's freezing out.
14
00:00:29,462 --> 00:00:30,861
I'll get you warm.
15
00:00:31,631 --> 00:00:33,724
Like I said, half and half.
16
00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:36,527
(UNZIPPING)
17
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:37,729
(SIGHS) Mmm.
18
00:00:41,674 --> 00:00:43,642
Oh, God! That's all right, baby.
That's okay.
19
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,109
No, it's not.
(GASPS)
20
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:51,077
MARTINEZ: Says he was partying at some
club nearby. Took a wrong turn home.
21
00:00:51,151 --> 00:00:53,881
I'd find that more convincing
if his fly was zipped.
22
00:00:53,953 --> 00:00:55,352
So what's his story?
23
00:00:55,422 --> 00:00:57,582
Well, I don't want to touch
him until the M.E. Shows up,
24
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:59,717
but there's some blood
on the picnic table.
25
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:02,023
Looks like he bopped his head.
26
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:06,223
His head bump is the least of his troubles.
This guy's got lead poisoning.
27
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:07,891
Any of the neighbors hear shots?
28
00:01:07,967 --> 00:01:09,525
We just started
knocking on doors.
29
00:01:09,602 --> 00:01:11,832
All right. Tape off
the area and start
30
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:12,963
a canvass for the murder weapon.
31
00:01:13,039 --> 00:01:14,097
You got it.
32
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:15,436
ED: Hey, Lennie.
33
00:01:15,508 --> 00:01:16,805
Whoa! High roller, huh?
34
00:01:16,876 --> 00:01:18,901
Separated by denomination.
35
00:01:19,279 --> 00:01:21,804
Looks like somebody just
knocked off a street dealer.
36
00:01:21,881 --> 00:01:23,371
Yeah, what a shame.
37
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:15,133
The vic was Scott Giddins.
38
00:02:15,201 --> 00:02:16,600
That's supposed
to mean something?
39
00:02:16,669 --> 00:02:19,035
BCI had his prints on file.
Five arrests
40
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:21,403
in three years.
All narcotics related.
41
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:24,034
He could have won
gold for skating.
42
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:26,738
Not a drop of time.
Any witnesses?
43
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:28,371
One woman heard two shots.
44
00:02:28,448 --> 00:02:31,144
Well, I, for one, admire
the shooter's restraint.
45
00:02:31,217 --> 00:02:32,275
VAN BUREN: How's that?
46
00:02:32,352 --> 00:02:35,583
It's pretty hard to get worked
up over a dead drug dealer.
47
00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:37,680
How many times do
I have to remind you,
48
00:02:37,757 --> 00:02:40,555
Detective Briscoe?
All life is sacred.
49
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:44,119
Not when it peddles the kind of
crap our Mr. Giddins peddled.
50
00:02:44,197 --> 00:02:46,062
Giddins lived around the
corner from where he was shot.
51
00:02:46,132 --> 00:02:48,123
Maybe we should
check out his place.
52
00:02:48,201 --> 00:02:50,635
Lennie, you wanna take
a walk through the projects?
53
00:02:52,205 --> 00:02:53,729
GINA: I said go away.
54
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:06,349
Ed, I think we've got a problem.
55
00:03:08,288 --> 00:03:10,279
Yeah, I need a bus.
Breathing's shallow.
56
00:03:10,356 --> 00:03:12,324
Possible overdose.
Tell them it's a rush.
57
00:03:17,063 --> 00:03:19,395
Look, I'm not a crack whore, if
that's what you're thinking.
58
00:03:19,465 --> 00:03:20,591
BRISCOE: How old are you?
59
00:03:20,667 --> 00:03:21,895
Old enough to
party with who I want.
60
00:03:21,968 --> 00:03:24,095
Like Scott Giddins?
That's right.
61
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:26,468
Hey, I don't care
one way or the other.
62
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:29,804
He probably doesn't either,
being as how he's dead.
63
00:03:31,744 --> 00:03:33,837
Look, I don't know
what's going down here.
64
00:03:33,913 --> 00:03:36,575
A few days ago, my friend Ron
introduced me to this guy.
65
00:03:36,649 --> 00:03:37,980
And you shacked up with him?
66
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:39,609
I needed a fix.
He was dealing.
67
00:03:41,487 --> 00:03:43,853
But the problem is, Gina,
when we knocked
68
00:03:43,923 --> 00:03:46,255
on your door,
you told us to go away.
69
00:03:46,826 --> 00:03:50,125
Which tells me you thought
you knew who was knocking.
70
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:51,720
ED: What you wasting
your time for, Lennie?
71
00:03:51,798 --> 00:03:53,766
Just book her on
possession and move on.
72
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:54,891
GINA: Okay.
73
00:03:56,803 --> 00:04:01,297
A guy came around. Maybe a couple of
days ago. He kept banging on the door.
74
00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:02,971
You get a look at this guy?
75
00:04:03,109 --> 00:04:04,440
Through the peephole.
76
00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:05,841
He was Puerto Rican
or something.
77
00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:07,810
He had this thing
on his face. Like a blotch.
78
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,177
What do you mean, blotch?
79
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:11,547
On his skin. There was
this big, red thing.
80
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:13,848
He kept saying
he was owed money.
81
00:04:15,188 --> 00:04:17,418
These were found in
your boyfriend's apartment.
82
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:20,288
The E.R. Doctor didn't know
what they were. Do you?
83
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:25,030
Only he told me if I touched
them, he'd break my legs.
84
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:27,863
It's Nazi speed,
also known as Ya Ba.
85
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,834
Oh, like the Sisterhood.
86
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:33,937
That's Ya-Ya. "Ya Ba" is
Thai for "crazy medicine."
87
00:04:34,073 --> 00:04:37,167
You ask me, you gotta be crazy to take it.
One bad dose and...
88
00:04:37,243 --> 00:04:39,040
(EXCLAIMS) You're
flatlined for sure.
89
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:42,047
Hey, you seen this guy
on any of your lists?
90
00:04:42,582 --> 00:04:45,574
Scottie! What happened?
He must have
91
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:48,678
moved up in the world. Ya Ba's not
the easiest to lay your hands on.
92
00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:51,915
BRISCOE: So, there's probably
a short list of suppliers?
93
00:04:52,091 --> 00:04:54,184
Yeah, and I'll be damned
if I know who they are.
94
00:04:54,327 --> 00:04:56,420
Well, actually, you'll
be damned if you don't.
95
00:04:56,796 --> 00:04:58,024
I heard a rumor
about some people scoring
96
00:04:58,097 --> 00:04:59,689
some at a club on
the Lower East Side.
97
00:04:59,766 --> 00:05:01,526
Other than that, I don't
know how to help you.
98
00:05:01,567 --> 00:05:03,330
Well, it's a good thing
you're not Narcotics.
99
00:05:03,403 --> 00:05:05,268
Oh! Wait a minute,
you are Narcotics!
100
00:05:05,338 --> 00:05:08,000
Hey, don't blame me,
all right? Blame the Mayor.
101
00:05:08,074 --> 00:05:11,475
Blame Osama. Half my
unit's been redeployed.
102
00:05:11,611 --> 00:05:13,272
Anyway, this spot on
the Lower East Side,
103
00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:14,746
is that off
the Williamsburg Bridge?
104
00:05:14,747 --> 00:05:16,681
Yeah, in a place
called Gammaville.
105
00:05:16,749 --> 00:05:19,013
Smack in the middle
of the Latin Playboy turf.
106
00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:21,315
They have a thriving
protection business.
107
00:05:21,387 --> 00:05:23,787
Gang unit should have
a file on these guys.
108
00:05:23,856 --> 00:05:27,417
A red blotch on the face, that
ain't no gang ID I ever seen.
109
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:30,225
Good thing you don't
stick out in a crowd, Juan.
110
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:32,296
Might've taken us more than
ten minutes to find you.
111
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:33,356
Find me for what?
112
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:35,901
Murder of a dealer
named Scott Giddins.
113
00:05:35,968 --> 00:05:37,026
Sorry. Never met the guy.
114
00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:39,901
We have an eyewitness who says
you been banging on his door.
115
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:43,007
I doubt you were collecting
for the March of Dimes, Juan.
116
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:45,670
Giddins owed you money for
dealing on Playboy turf,
117
00:05:45,745 --> 00:05:49,146
then he ends up dead. Now, if you don't
want to connect the dots, we will.
118
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:51,376
I'm not saying nothing.
119
00:05:51,784 --> 00:05:53,046
Suit yourself, bro.
120
00:05:53,119 --> 00:05:57,180
No, come on. No. Why you gotta
move so fast? Okay, okay.
121
00:05:57,924 --> 00:06:00,552
Look, G was stalling me.
122
00:06:00,626 --> 00:06:03,094
But nobody from my house
laid a finger on the guy.
123
00:06:03,162 --> 00:06:04,459
He paid up.
124
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:08,626
Why would we pop G over rent? The dude
was a seller. He printed money, man.
125
00:06:08,701 --> 00:06:11,670
The only reason why G got popped
is because he's a pendejo.
126
00:06:11,738 --> 00:06:14,172
Didn't always think.
Pissed people off.
127
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,140
What people?
Local yokels.
128
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:18,609
This guy with a lead pipe
chases him for three blocks.
129
00:06:18,678 --> 00:06:22,205
He sold some bad stuff to his
kid, and the kid OD'd. Kicked.
130
00:06:22,582 --> 00:06:24,311
ED: This guy with the pipe
have a name?
131
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:27,285
Yeah, something Parker. Dives
a Greyhound or something.
132
00:06:29,455 --> 00:06:30,752
Hey! Where you
guys going?
133
00:06:30,823 --> 00:06:33,053
You gonna give me a lift
back to my place, right?
134
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:41,894
Takes 900 calls,
and finally you show up!
135
00:06:41,968 --> 00:06:43,060
Excuse me?
136
00:06:43,136 --> 00:06:45,468
Those kids across
the street. Can't sleep.
137
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:48,530
That damn boom box
playing day and night.
138
00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:50,633
What do I have to pay taxes for?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
139
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:52,041
We're not patrolmen.
We're looking
140
00:06:52,111 --> 00:06:53,373
for Bill Parker.
We heard he lives here.
141
00:06:53,446 --> 00:06:55,243
Sure, drag off the good guys.
142
00:06:55,314 --> 00:06:57,077
Your tax dollars at work.
143
00:06:59,485 --> 00:07:00,747
I'm sorry about the mess.
144
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:04,278
Hey, I've been there. So
when's your little girl due?
145
00:07:04,357 --> 00:07:07,451
In May. How did you
know it was a girl?
146
00:07:08,227 --> 00:07:10,457
Our nursery had candy stripes.
147
00:07:10,596 --> 00:07:13,064
This used to be
my son's room, but...
148
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,667
I know. You lost him
about a year ago.
149
00:07:16,536 --> 00:07:17,764
Are you here about David?
150
00:07:17,837 --> 00:07:22,171
No, this man was shot a few
blocks away from here.
151
00:07:22,675 --> 00:07:24,199
Do you recognize him?
152
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:27,178
Could be anybody.
Any reason why I should?
153
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:30,009
Take a closer look,
Mr. Parker.
154
00:07:32,685 --> 00:07:34,346
I hope to God he's dead.
155
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:36,911
BRISCOE: Sometimes the Big
Guy answers your prayers.
156
00:07:38,491 --> 00:07:40,186
You think I had
something to do with this?
157
00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:42,454
In a perfect world,
I'd hold him down
158
00:07:42,528 --> 00:07:44,728
while you smacked him with
that pipe you chased him with.
159
00:07:44,764 --> 00:07:47,665
In a perfect world,
Davie wouldn't be dead.
160
00:07:48,067 --> 00:07:51,093
In a perfect world, the police
would have arrested that bastard
161
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:52,967
and locked him up forever.
162
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:56,404
I may have lost my temper once,
163
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,706
but I didn't have
anything to do with this.
164
00:07:59,212 --> 00:08:02,113
Well, just for the record, where
were you on Wednesday night?
165
00:08:02,181 --> 00:08:07,346
At our weekly meeting down the block. St.
Weston's. The Neighborhood Watch.
166
00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:10,685
Unfortunately, people
don't join the Watch
167
00:08:10,756 --> 00:08:12,986
until after they've
been affected personally.
168
00:08:13,059 --> 00:08:15,357
It took Davie's death
to get Bill involved.
169
00:08:15,428 --> 00:08:17,692
So, what, you guys just roam
the streets with weapons?
170
00:08:17,763 --> 00:08:21,028
Flashlights. We're
prophylactic, not punitive.
171
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:25,230
So what do you discuss at these meetings,
what kind of batteries to use?
172
00:08:25,304 --> 00:08:27,670
Scheduling,
who's available when.
173
00:08:27,740 --> 00:08:29,037
Bill Parker was
at the last meeting?
174
00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:30,268
He brought the soft drinks.
175
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:31,742
Good old Bill.
176
00:08:32,812 --> 00:08:36,304
Do you know what kind of
hell he's gone through?
177
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:39,775
His son died,
and the man who killed him
178
00:08:39,852 --> 00:08:42,343
was still out on the corner,
selling poison.
179
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:46,854
Well, maybe instead of carrying
flashlights, you should carry cell phones.
180
00:08:46,926 --> 00:08:49,053
Uh-huh, and call who? You?
181
00:08:49,295 --> 00:08:51,058
We've tried that, thank you.
182
00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:52,995
You people seem to
have raised the white flag
183
00:08:53,065 --> 00:08:57,001
on that war on drugs. Well, we can't.
We live on the battlefield.
184
00:08:57,069 --> 00:08:59,094
Do you remember what time this
meeting broke up on Wednesday?
185
00:08:59,171 --> 00:09:01,639
Um... Around 11:00.
186
00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:03,231
I mean, why?
What's this about?
187
00:09:03,309 --> 00:09:07,336
Well, let's just say that when
the prophylactic doesn't work,
188
00:09:07,413 --> 00:09:09,074
we're the punitive.
189
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:13,145
ED: How long do you
think it's gonna take
190
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:14,699
before Father Hogan
calls Bill Parker?
191
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,085
Isn't that his job?
192
00:09:16,155 --> 00:09:17,247
To cover up a murder?
193
00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:18,756
No. To offer consolation.
194
00:09:18,824 --> 00:09:20,587
Consolation or congratulations?
195
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:22,560
I mean, I got the feeling
this guy didn't mind
196
00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:24,425
if his parishioners ignored
the Fifth Commandment.
197
00:09:24,497 --> 00:09:26,260
Well, I'm just wondering
if Moses would have
198
00:09:26,332 --> 00:09:28,357
had the great good sense
to turn the other cheek
199
00:09:28,434 --> 00:09:30,299
in a case of somebody
like Mr. Giddins.
200
00:09:30,369 --> 00:09:32,360
Thou shalt not kill,
except drug dealers?
201
00:09:32,438 --> 00:09:34,167
Ones who sell to kids, yeah.
202
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,208
Well, that rewrite
might be okay to Moses,
203
00:09:36,275 --> 00:09:37,674
but it ain't to Pataki.
204
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,803
We should go see
if Bill Parker owned a piece.
205
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,942
Why don't you go ahead? I've got a
couple of calls I want to make.
206
00:09:44,016 --> 00:09:47,850
All right, man. Don't forget,
Moses don't sign your paycheck.
207
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:55,924
What is this? Get me drunk, I'll
confess to something I didn't do.
208
00:09:57,129 --> 00:10:00,121
I just thought we'd be
more comfortable here.
209
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:05,668
I got a problem, Bill. I mean, the
cards are stacking up against you.
210
00:10:05,905 --> 00:10:08,897
Now, my partner wants to bring
you in for questioning, but...
211
00:10:08,975 --> 00:10:10,567
You're looking out for me.
212
00:10:10,643 --> 00:10:14,044
Well, the thing is, maybe I
understand the situation
213
00:10:14,113 --> 00:10:16,172
a little better than he does.
214
00:10:16,248 --> 00:10:18,148
Maybe you know wallpaper,
but you don't
215
00:10:18,217 --> 00:10:20,082
know anything
about my situation.
216
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:24,422
I know the world's
a better place,
217
00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:26,685
now that Scott Giddins
isn't in it.
218
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:29,727
And where were you
before Davie died?
219
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:33,432
Where was anybody after?
220
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,029
Knowing and proving it in court
are two different things.
221
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:47,605
She was 24. A guy
like Giddins killed her.
222
00:10:51,584 --> 00:10:53,211
Did he go to jail?
223
00:10:55,287 --> 00:10:56,413
Yeah.
224
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:05,620
The thing is, I get up every
morning, I brush my teeth, I shave,
225
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:11,060
and I kick myself for not
putting a.38 between his eyes.
226
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:13,764
Maybe then...
227
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:16,831
Do not say "closure."
No such thing.
228
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:27,619
This is great. My kid dies,
and no one lifts a finger.
229
00:11:29,722 --> 00:11:33,783
Somebody kills this creep, here you
are with a thousand questions.
230
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:39,898
Not a thousand, Bill.
Just one.
231
00:11:49,842 --> 00:11:52,106
I'm telling you,
this guy wants to confess.
232
00:11:52,178 --> 00:11:53,668
He wants to call
a press conference
233
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:56,306
and shout, "I killed the
bastard." I almost had him.
234
00:11:56,382 --> 00:12:00,318
Yeah, and if you did, it would send
our case directly down the crapper.
235
00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:03,150
Come on, we were just
two guys sitting at a bar.
236
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:07,625
Yeah, but when one of those guys is
a detective investigating a murder,
237
00:12:07,693 --> 00:12:10,127
the other guy gets to have
his rights read to him.
238
00:12:10,196 --> 00:12:11,993
Unless...
Unless what, Ed?
239
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:14,225
You think I tried to dump
the case against Parker?
240
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:15,699
I wasn't going to
say that, Lennie,
241
00:12:15,768 --> 00:12:17,395
but since we're
on the topic, a bar?
242
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:19,700
A first-year legal aid
can get that confession
243
00:12:19,772 --> 00:12:22,502
tossed out for I can think of at least
ten reasons off the top of my head.
244
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:24,702
Well, then I guess
I'm lucky he didn't confess.
245
00:12:24,777 --> 00:12:26,677
Do you want this guy to walk?
246
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,509
No. But I can't blame him
for taking care
247
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:31,709
of the scum we didn't do
anything about for a year.
248
00:12:32,118 --> 00:12:34,882
Well, why do you suppose
Parker waited so long?
249
00:12:34,954 --> 00:12:37,752
Hey, he tried the good citizen route.
It didn't work.
250
00:12:38,858 --> 00:12:40,052
You know,
maybe something happened
251
00:12:40,126 --> 00:12:42,686
at that Neighborhood Watch
meeting that set him off.
252
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,192
It was pretty routine.
253
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:53,568
Talked about patrol shifts, scraping
together money for a set of Nextels,
254
00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:57,131
some gang tags spotted over
at Jefferson Middle School.
255
00:12:57,209 --> 00:12:59,234
Nothing that would
make Bill blow a gasket.
256
00:12:59,311 --> 00:13:02,337
Jefferson Middle School, isn't
that where David Parker went?
257
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:04,412
Our boys played hoops together.
258
00:13:04,483 --> 00:13:06,508
Davie had a hell
of an outside shot.
259
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:09,352
Look, I know
where you're headed,
260
00:13:09,421 --> 00:13:12,948
but there's nothing there. No way Bill
could have killed that lowlife dealer.
261
00:13:13,225 --> 00:13:15,193
And you're so positive because
you're tight with him?
262
00:13:15,261 --> 00:13:20,255
I'm positive because after the meeting
broke up, I walked Bill home.
263
00:13:21,433 --> 00:13:22,923
Funny, he didn't mention that.
264
00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:25,334
Yeah, well,
maybe you didn't ask.
265
00:13:26,972 --> 00:13:29,133
If this guy did his job
as bad as he lies,
266
00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:31,301
he wouldn't be able
to pick his nose.
267
00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:32,817
Anyway, I'm thinking
that the mention
268
00:13:32,845 --> 00:13:35,085
of Davie's old school might
have stirred up some memories.
269
00:13:35,381 --> 00:13:37,542
A couple of weeks ago, I'm sitting
in this joint on the east side
270
00:13:37,616 --> 00:13:38,878
having a hamburger.
271
00:13:38,951 --> 00:13:42,682
A guy sits down at the table next
to me, and I blurt out, "Ron."
272
00:13:42,755 --> 00:13:44,635
Who you talking about?
Lichtenstein from the 16?
273
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:47,717
Ron Darling from the '86 Mets.
274
00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:50,728
Do you know what my first thought was?
I've gotta call Cathy.
275
00:13:50,796 --> 00:13:53,196
She always had a thing for him.
276
00:13:53,265 --> 00:13:55,130
She's been gone six years.
I don't know.
277
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:57,726
You lose a kid,
everything stirs up memories.
278
00:13:59,538 --> 00:14:02,302
So, if we find one person
from that meeting
279
00:14:02,374 --> 00:14:04,205
who contradicts
Mr. Locksmith,
280
00:14:04,276 --> 00:14:06,801
we can threaten him with
obstruction, force him to flip.
281
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:08,608
Yeah, but he probably
speed dialed every member
282
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:10,205
of the Watch before
we even hit the street.
283
00:14:10,282 --> 00:14:13,149
Meaning 25 more versions
of the same damn story.
284
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:15,983
So, we find one non-member
who saw Parker come home.
285
00:14:16,055 --> 00:14:19,616
Between 11:00 and midnight? Most
people are watching Leno or asleep.
286
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:22,855
Not with that damn boom box
going day and night.
287
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:26,221
Why would we remember what
happened last Wednesday?
288
00:14:26,298 --> 00:14:30,291
Because some old lady couldn't
sleep on account of this boom box.
289
00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:31,929
Now, being public servants,
290
00:14:32,004 --> 00:14:35,201
we can confiscate this thing
as a public nuisance.
291
00:14:35,774 --> 00:14:37,002
What time we talking
about Wednesday?
292
00:14:37,076 --> 00:14:39,271
ED: It was between
11:00 and 11:30.
293
00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:40,607
Can't help you.
294
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,704
All right, Ed,
read the box its rights.
295
00:14:42,781 --> 00:14:45,750
Whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on!
Wait a minute. What he means is,
296
00:14:45,818 --> 00:14:48,719
we can't help you because, you
know, we went to get some eats.
297
00:14:48,787 --> 00:14:51,312
Didn't get back till
around, like, midnight.
298
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:54,086
Davie's dad, he's a bus
driver or something, right?
299
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:55,353
Yeah.
300
00:14:55,427 --> 00:14:57,054
We saw him when
we got back from the bodega.
301
00:14:57,129 --> 00:14:58,221
At midnight?
302
00:14:58,297 --> 00:15:00,561
Yeah, midnight.
That's why I remember.
303
00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:02,863
I saw him walking
some priest out.
304
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:05,999
All right.
305
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,707
That's funny, Father Hogan never
mentioned a midnight house call.
306
00:15:10,976 --> 00:15:13,274
Confessions 'R Us.
We deliver.
307
00:15:13,646 --> 00:15:15,944
I'm sure you know I'm
not at liberty to discuss
308
00:15:16,015 --> 00:15:18,245
conversations I have
with my parishioners.
309
00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:20,046
Does that include
lying about whether
310
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:21,677
the conversations
ever took place?
311
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:27,189
You asked me when Bill
left, not whether
312
00:15:27,259 --> 00:15:28,624
I had seen him
later that evening.
313
00:15:28,694 --> 00:15:31,174
You sure you want to be splitting
hairs with the police, Father?
314
00:15:31,196 --> 00:15:33,630
Oh, no, I respect
the law, Detective.
315
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:37,128
But until the Vatican
tells me otherwise,
316
00:15:37,202 --> 00:15:39,227
any conversation
I have with a congregant
317
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:42,240
remains between them,
me, and God.
318
00:15:42,908 --> 00:15:47,242
All right. Well, if God happens to
tell you how Bill Parker got a gun,
319
00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:48,940
would you please give us a call?
320
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:52,381
'Cause however he got it, it wasn't legal.
Thank you, Father.
321
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:56,319
The other day,
I took a cab to the squad.
322
00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:57,980
What's that,
40 bucks from your place?
323
00:15:58,057 --> 00:15:59,649
I didn't say I was at my place.
324
00:16:00,192 --> 00:16:02,660
Anyway, the point is,
the driver had a piece
325
00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:04,992
right out in the open,
on the seat next to him.
326
00:16:05,064 --> 00:16:06,998
And you're thinking bus
drivers do the same thing?
327
00:16:07,066 --> 00:16:08,727
Hey, what country
do you live in?
328
00:16:12,371 --> 00:16:14,430
Port Authority policy
prohibits drivers
329
00:16:14,506 --> 00:16:16,531
from carrying
firearms of any kind.
330
00:16:16,608 --> 00:16:18,906
So what would you do if you
found a driver was packing?
331
00:16:19,244 --> 00:16:20,302
I wouldn't.
332
00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:24,338
Well, what about passengers? Is
it like boarding an airplane?
333
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:27,676
Some bus companies search
passengers at random.
334
00:16:27,753 --> 00:16:29,550
Guy sees that happening,
he ditches the gun
335
00:16:29,621 --> 00:16:31,384
in the men's room,
in the garbage, whatever.
336
00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:33,458
You know, you could
take on all of al-Qaeda
337
00:16:33,525 --> 00:16:34,885
with the crap
these companies find.
338
00:16:34,927 --> 00:16:36,767
What do you do with the
weapons they confiscate?
339
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:38,160
Evidence locker.
340
00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:40,994
Suppose I'm a driver,
could I get into that locker?
341
00:16:42,067 --> 00:16:45,366
Only way in is if you had one of
these special-issue, non repro keys.
342
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:47,962
Or a friend who
could pick a lock.
343
00:16:49,408 --> 00:16:53,469
The fact is, we had a hiccup last week.
A.44 was misplaced.
344
00:16:55,247 --> 00:16:56,771
Sounds like
probable cause to me.
345
00:17:00,285 --> 00:17:01,912
You get out of my boy's room.
346
00:17:01,987 --> 00:17:04,182
I'm sorry, Mr. Parker, this
search warrant authorizes us
347
00:17:04,256 --> 00:17:05,553
to search the entire apartment.
348
00:17:05,624 --> 00:17:07,524
What could you possibly think
that you'll find in here?
349
00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:08,924
A revolver?
350
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:11,861
Do you really think that I would
hide a gun in David's room?
351
00:17:12,197 --> 00:17:15,894
Hey, Ed, remember what this
looked like two days ago?
352
00:17:16,335 --> 00:17:17,768
Ours took a week to finish.
353
00:17:17,836 --> 00:17:19,167
(HOLLOW SOUND)
354
00:17:19,972 --> 00:17:22,600
Officer, we're gonna need to
break through this sheet rock.
355
00:17:33,452 --> 00:17:34,885
More insulation...
356
00:17:36,255 --> 00:17:37,620
(EXCLAIMS)
357
00:17:44,163 --> 00:17:45,960
The.44 caliber kind.
358
00:17:47,199 --> 00:17:48,559
William Parker,
you're under arrest
359
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,999
for the murder of Scott Giddins.
360
00:17:50,536 --> 00:17:52,163
You have the right
to remain silent.
361
00:17:52,237 --> 00:17:55,138
Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.
362
00:17:58,477 --> 00:18:03,210
I understand why you lied to me before,
Bill. Nobody wants to go to jail.
363
00:18:04,783 --> 00:18:06,375
Not with a little girl
on the way.
364
00:18:09,354 --> 00:18:13,882
But you gotta know, if the slug that
we took from that dealer's body
365
00:18:13,959 --> 00:18:15,324
came from that gun,
366
00:18:17,896 --> 00:18:20,592
you're gonna miss your
little girl's first steps,
367
00:18:20,666 --> 00:18:23,965
her first communion,
her confirmation.
368
00:18:26,705 --> 00:18:28,297
If I was you,
I'd try to help myself.
369
00:18:33,645 --> 00:18:35,203
He killed Davie.
370
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,009
That's right, he did,
371
00:18:38,684 --> 00:18:43,212
but guys like him, they don't
stop with just one death.
372
00:18:45,757 --> 00:18:49,693
Guys like Giddins, they've been
known to get violent, get physical.
373
00:18:50,529 --> 00:18:53,191
Been known to
threaten innocent citizens.
374
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:56,960
Judges know that.
375
00:18:58,570 --> 00:19:00,731
So do juries and D.A.'s.
376
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:06,576
Hell, Bill, people get let off on
self-defense every day of the week.
377
00:19:09,114 --> 00:19:11,548
You can take the cop
out of the father, but...
378
00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:14,142
The problem is, Giddins wasn't
armed when we found him.
379
00:19:14,219 --> 00:19:15,516
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
380
00:19:15,954 --> 00:19:17,512
Lieutenant,
there's some priest here
381
00:19:17,589 --> 00:19:20,149
named Hogan. Says he's got
information on the Giddins homicide.
382
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:21,993
Send him in.
383
00:19:25,364 --> 00:19:26,888
ED: Father.
Yeah.
384
00:19:27,466 --> 00:19:29,331
You have the wrong
suspect in custody.
385
00:19:30,102 --> 00:19:33,765
All due respect, Father, it's not
looking that way. My detectives found
386
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:35,739
the murder weapon
in his apartment.
387
00:19:36,441 --> 00:19:37,601
I can explain that.
388
00:19:37,676 --> 00:19:38,836
ED: Be careful, Father Hogan.
389
00:19:38,877 --> 00:19:40,310
We have witnesses
that put you with
390
00:19:40,379 --> 00:19:41,778
the Parkers on
the night of the murder.
391
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:42,939
So, if he confessed to you
392
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:45,142
and you're lying to protect
him, that's obstruction.
393
00:19:45,217 --> 00:19:48,380
I'm not lying. Bill Parker
didn't confess to me.
394
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:53,452
I confessed to him.
I killed Scott Giddins.
395
00:20:00,065 --> 00:20:04,900
Bill Parker was a sculptor.
Did you know that? Metalwork.
396
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:11,309
He would take these pieces of
industrial steel, this junk really,
397
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:14,137
and turn them into
works of great beauty.
398
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,378
When David died, he stopped.
399
00:20:17,449 --> 00:20:20,885
It was as if Scott Giddins
had ripped out his soul
400
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:22,881
and stomped on it.
401
00:20:23,855 --> 00:20:25,880
I understand
why he'd seek vengeance.
402
00:20:26,291 --> 00:20:29,488
I reminded him that he still had
a wife and a baby on the way,
403
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:32,189
but still he felt
that if he did nothing,
404
00:20:32,264 --> 00:20:34,232
he would be
tortured in this life.
405
00:20:34,299 --> 00:20:37,666
And if he acted, he would
be damned in the next.
406
00:20:38,937 --> 00:20:40,404
That's why I told him to
give me the gun.
407
00:20:40,472 --> 00:20:41,803
Hold on, Richard.
No.
408
00:20:44,042 --> 00:20:47,773
I appreciate your help, Jim.
This is something I have to do.
409
00:20:48,847 --> 00:20:51,213
Bill Parker gave me his gun.
410
00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:52,545
This conversation is over.
411
00:20:52,618 --> 00:20:57,021
A week later, I used it
to kill Mr. Giddins.
412
00:20:59,825 --> 00:21:01,452
Where did it happen, Father?
413
00:21:01,526 --> 00:21:04,461
North of the Williamsburg
Bridge underpass.
414
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:06,697
Do you recall what Mr.
Giddins was wearing?
415
00:21:06,765 --> 00:21:09,393
A leather jacket.
Brown. Blue jeans.
416
00:21:09,468 --> 00:21:12,164
A gray shirt.
I shot him in the stomach.
417
00:21:12,237 --> 00:21:13,397
The police showed him photos.
418
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:16,168
This man was
a plague on the earth,
419
00:21:16,808 --> 00:21:20,175
a drug pusher whose
poison killed children.
420
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:24,308
The police could arrest him,
but nobody could convict him.
421
00:21:26,351 --> 00:21:28,251
Why did you return
the gun to the Parkers?
422
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,086
I went to the Parkers to tell
them justice had been done.
423
00:21:32,591 --> 00:21:34,286
He hid the gun to protect me.
424
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,826
You stop. That's enough.
425
00:21:35,894 --> 00:21:38,795
Now, you and Parker may think you're
being clever, but I'm not gonna sit
426
00:21:38,864 --> 00:21:40,627
in the front row
while you commit suicide.
427
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:45,300
I'm still his counsel, and I'm
ending this interview right now.
428
00:21:46,538 --> 00:21:48,096
Father Hogan is
looking for martyrdom,
429
00:21:48,173 --> 00:21:50,232
or sainthood, or whatever
other ridiculous thing
430
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:52,777
you get these days
for being entirely selfless.
431
00:21:52,844 --> 00:21:54,835
In the secular world
I believe they call
432
00:21:54,913 --> 00:21:56,881
what he's looking for
"reasonable doubt."
433
00:21:56,948 --> 00:21:58,643
And this bogus confession raises
434
00:21:58,717 --> 00:22:00,708
more than enough
for an acquittal.
435
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,811
Unless we don't
charge Bill Parker.
436
00:22:04,956 --> 00:22:06,548
You want to indict Father Hogan?
437
00:22:06,758 --> 00:22:08,123
Why not?
438
00:22:08,593 --> 00:22:10,220
He did confess.
439
00:22:10,295 --> 00:22:11,489
Oh, come on, Jack.
Whatever problems
440
00:22:11,563 --> 00:22:13,283
you might personally
have with the Church...
441
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:14,492
Have nothing to do with this.
442
00:22:14,566 --> 00:22:16,693
I'm just proposing
that if the two of you
443
00:22:16,768 --> 00:22:19,862
are right and this is all a
scheme to confuse a jury,
444
00:22:19,938 --> 00:22:23,066
let's do an end run of our own.
One confession. One defendant.
445
00:22:23,141 --> 00:22:24,369
No doubt.
446
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:29,176
He's got a point. My guess, by
confessing to something he didn't do,
447
00:22:29,247 --> 00:22:31,374
the Padre's already
scored enough points
448
00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:33,543
to impress the pants
off Saint Peter.
449
00:22:33,618 --> 00:22:35,518
And what if he doesn't
feel the same way?
450
00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:38,886
We've got about 20 hours before we
have to charge them or let them go.
451
00:22:38,957 --> 00:22:42,654
Now, if you want to come up
with another plan, be my guest.
452
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:45,660
If you think I'm gonna turn
on my husband, you're crazy.
453
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:47,358
That's not why I'm here.
454
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:50,825
Actually,
I'm here for Father Hogan.
455
00:22:52,471 --> 00:22:54,405
He sent you?
456
00:22:54,473 --> 00:22:57,601
In a way.
He confessed to the crime.
457
00:22:59,678 --> 00:23:01,475
So, why is Bill still in jail?
458
00:23:01,546 --> 00:23:05,573
Because it's obvious to us that
Father Hogan is lying to protect him.
459
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:12,648
Did Bill say he killed Giddins?
460
00:23:12,791 --> 00:23:14,884
He's scared.
He hasn't said anything.
461
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:17,692
But he didn't say
Father Hogan did it.
462
00:23:19,264 --> 00:23:20,390
No.
463
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,264
So I can't do
anything then, can I?
464
00:23:24,536 --> 00:23:26,197
You can help me to
convince Father Hogan
465
00:23:26,271 --> 00:23:28,034
that there is a better way
to help your husband
466
00:23:28,106 --> 00:23:29,596
than by throwing
his own life away.
467
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:34,677
I'm sure you don't want the
wrong man to be convicted.
468
00:23:34,746 --> 00:23:36,043
I'm not asking you
to incriminate
469
00:23:36,114 --> 00:23:38,275
your husband, but if you
could just tell me anything.
470
00:23:38,917 --> 00:23:41,545
You bastards! Bastards!
471
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:44,418
If only you did your job, a good
man like that wouldn't have to...
472
00:23:49,995 --> 00:23:54,364
He did it for us, you know. He
did it so Bill wouldn't have to.
473
00:23:56,134 --> 00:23:57,328
Wait a minute.
Are you saying
474
00:23:57,402 --> 00:23:59,962
that Father Hogan
did kill Scott Giddins?
475
00:24:06,411 --> 00:24:08,504
You'll be happy to know that
we released Bill Parker.
476
00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:10,070
(EXCLAIMS) Thank God!
477
00:24:10,148 --> 00:24:12,981
Come on, Jack. I'm not
going to fall for that.
478
00:24:13,051 --> 00:24:15,679
None of us here
wants a trial, Father.
479
00:24:15,787 --> 00:24:18,068
We're prepared to accept your
confession and offer you a...
480
00:24:18,089 --> 00:24:19,920
I will not accept a deal.
481
00:24:19,991 --> 00:24:21,390
Richard, please.
Just go ahead and tell them
482
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:22,927
how you made up the whole thing.
483
00:24:22,994 --> 00:24:24,985
I don't think
he can do that, Jim.
484
00:24:26,798 --> 00:24:29,323
We found this jacket in the
Father's closet at the rectory.
485
00:24:30,001 --> 00:24:32,401
So he has bad taste in clothes?
That's not a crime.
486
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:33,871
The people in
the Neighborhood Watch
487
00:24:33,872 --> 00:24:35,272
wear them when
they go out at night.
488
00:24:37,876 --> 00:24:40,845
The sleeve tested positive
for gunshot residue.
489
00:24:43,782 --> 00:24:46,216
I can offer you
ten years, Father.
490
00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:51,688
WHEELER: Give us a minute.
That won't be necessary.
491
00:24:51,756 --> 00:24:53,485
JACK: You should listen
to your lawyer, sir.
492
00:24:53,558 --> 00:24:56,721
With the coat and the confession, you
don't stand a chance with a jury.
493
00:24:56,795 --> 00:24:58,820
I will not pled guilty.
494
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:01,297
Then you're looking
at 25-years-to-life.
495
00:25:01,366 --> 00:25:02,663
I confessed to
killing Scott Giddins.
496
00:25:02,734 --> 00:25:04,861
I did not confess to
committing a crime.
497
00:25:05,804 --> 00:25:08,830
Killing is not a crime,
when it's God's will.
498
00:25:14,579 --> 00:25:15,705
BRANCH: Is he serious?
499
00:25:15,780 --> 00:25:18,806
Here's Wheeler's Notice of
Affirmative Defense to prove it.
500
00:25:18,884 --> 00:25:20,317
Justification?
501
00:25:20,385 --> 00:25:22,683
"Yes, I killed.
But God told me to."
502
00:25:23,822 --> 00:25:25,949
Well, you gotta admit,
it's a lot more creative
503
00:25:26,024 --> 00:25:28,117
than "The Devil
made me do it."
504
00:25:28,193 --> 00:25:30,218
Next up, virgin sacrifice.
505
00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:33,523
The fact is,
this country could use
506
00:25:33,598 --> 00:25:36,123
a double dose of whatever
God's got on special today.
507
00:25:37,235 --> 00:25:39,226
Perhaps.
But not in a courtroom.
508
00:25:39,304 --> 00:25:40,304
Why not?
509
00:25:40,372 --> 00:25:42,203
Aren't we "One
nation under God"?
510
00:25:42,674 --> 00:25:46,201
Don't tell me you believe Father
Hogan's "orders from above" defense?
511
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:50,773
On the contrary, it goes against
everything I do believe.
512
00:25:54,853 --> 00:25:57,788
The law recognizes situations
where killing is justified.
513
00:25:57,856 --> 00:26:01,383
Self-defense, defense of
others, the death penalty...
514
00:26:01,459 --> 00:26:03,984
And in all of those instances,
the use of deadly force
515
00:26:04,062 --> 00:26:07,395
must be in response to an imminent
threat and be reasonable.
516
00:26:07,465 --> 00:26:10,491
Here comes the part where he tells
you belief in God isn't reasonable.
517
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:13,367
A priest claiming he heard God?
518
00:26:13,438 --> 00:26:15,338
How does a jury
determine credibility?
519
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:18,570
We ask juries to dive into deeper
deductive waters all the time.
520
00:26:18,643 --> 00:26:22,602
We don't ask them to ponder
the existence of God.
521
00:26:22,681 --> 00:26:26,048
But we don't have to. The court
already acknowledges His existence.
522
00:26:26,117 --> 00:26:27,414
"In God we trust."
523
00:26:28,053 --> 00:26:29,680
That's the building,
not the law.
524
00:26:29,754 --> 00:26:31,847
My point is,
how can both the court
525
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:34,892
and the legislature acknowledge
the existence of God,
526
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,952
yet deny a defense
premised on that existence?
527
00:26:38,029 --> 00:26:41,692
If a layperson tried to assert
a "God told me to" defense,
528
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:44,929
the court would render him
incompetent to stand trial.
529
00:26:45,003 --> 00:26:47,563
So if you talk to God,
you're pious,
530
00:26:47,639 --> 00:26:50,039
and if he talks back,
you're crazy?
531
00:26:50,108 --> 00:26:51,439
You said it, I didn't.
532
00:26:51,509 --> 00:26:53,943
Well, then let's give Father
Hogan an Article 730 exam
533
00:26:54,012 --> 00:26:55,809
and see if he's
competent to stand trial.
534
00:26:57,382 --> 00:26:58,713
God bless.
535
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,351
Do you believe in God,
Dr. Olivet?
536
00:27:05,924 --> 00:27:07,357
Yes.
537
00:27:07,425 --> 00:27:09,222
And yet, you question
whether I'm crazy
538
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:11,524
for claiming
I received His guidance.
539
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:13,998
I'm simply doing my job.
540
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:17,964
I'm sure the Roman
soldiers said that, too,
541
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,271
when nailing Jesus to the cross.
542
00:27:24,209 --> 00:27:25,801
Do you think of
yourself as Jesus?
543
00:27:26,378 --> 00:27:27,777
(LAUGHS) No.
544
00:27:28,213 --> 00:27:29,213
No, no.
545
00:27:29,714 --> 00:27:32,012
I'm just noting a parallel.
546
00:27:32,784 --> 00:27:36,584
Jesus could return tomorrow
547
00:27:37,455 --> 00:27:41,619
and people would write him off as an
illusionist, the next David Blaine.
548
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:44,455
Society has a habit
of explaining away miracles,
549
00:27:44,529 --> 00:27:48,829
and then saying God must not exist
because there are no miracles.
550
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:52,534
And you're going
to prove them wrong?
551
00:27:52,604 --> 00:27:55,266
I'm not on a crusade,
Dr. Olivet.
552
00:27:56,641 --> 00:28:00,577
A man was destroying my community,
poisoning my neighbors.
553
00:28:01,446 --> 00:28:06,179
I prayed for guidance, and the guidance
I received was that I should kill him.
554
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:16,022
At the time, did you know that
it's wrong to kill someone?
555
00:28:16,761 --> 00:28:19,491
I knew that
killing is usually wrong.
556
00:28:19,564 --> 00:28:23,967
I knew that my actions were
against the laws of man. And I...
557
00:28:27,272 --> 00:28:32,141
I knew that they were against
every instinct I have
558
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:34,068
as a human being.
559
00:28:34,412 --> 00:28:35,970
Then why did you do it?
560
00:28:36,815 --> 00:28:41,013
Because that's
what God asked of me.
561
00:28:42,287 --> 00:28:45,120
And you had no choice but
to follow His instructions?
562
00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:46,919
We all have a choice.
563
00:28:46,991 --> 00:28:48,356
We all know
what God expects of us.
564
00:28:48,426 --> 00:28:51,623
The question is,
are we strong enough
565
00:28:53,531 --> 00:28:54,793
to do it?
566
00:28:57,335 --> 00:28:59,030
He understands
the charges against him
567
00:28:59,104 --> 00:29:01,299
and is capable of
aiding in his defense.
568
00:29:01,372 --> 00:29:02,737
But he doesn't
seem to understand
569
00:29:02,807 --> 00:29:04,468
the difference
between right and wrong.
570
00:29:05,176 --> 00:29:07,974
On the contrary,
he understands perfectly.
571
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,741
It can't be wrong if God
told him to do it.
572
00:29:10,815 --> 00:29:12,305
SERENA: And that's not crazy?
573
00:29:12,383 --> 00:29:15,819
Father Hogan believes he gains
enlightenment through prayer.
574
00:29:15,887 --> 00:29:19,379
If that's crazy, then half the
world should be committed.
575
00:29:19,457 --> 00:29:21,652
One man's delusion is
another man's faith.
576
00:29:21,726 --> 00:29:23,318
And we're supposed to
convince a bunch ofjurors
577
00:29:23,394 --> 00:29:26,363
that they were delusional all those
Sundays that they went to church?
578
00:29:27,132 --> 00:29:31,125
No. You need to convince Father
Hogan to look reality in the eye.
579
00:29:32,370 --> 00:29:35,305
I understand your
predicament, Mr. McCoy.
580
00:29:35,507 --> 00:29:36,804
Do you understand mine?
581
00:29:36,941 --> 00:29:38,238
Actually, I do.
582
00:29:39,144 --> 00:29:42,272
I'd think it would include
willingness to accept punishment.
583
00:29:42,347 --> 00:29:44,076
I'm willing to be punished,
584
00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:47,084
but what I'm not willing
to do is to plead guilty.
585
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:49,245
Are you sure
you want to do this, Father?
586
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,185
Do you really want to
put religion on trial?
587
00:29:51,256 --> 00:29:53,247
Religion is already on trial.
588
00:29:53,324 --> 00:29:56,259
Islam is being
tainted by fanatics,
589
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:58,755
Judaism is being threatened
by the recent rise
590
00:29:58,830 --> 00:30:02,266
in anti-Semitism, the Catholic
Church is crippled by a sex scandal.
591
00:30:02,333 --> 00:30:04,233
For the first time in
the world's history,
592
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:07,032
three major faiths
are in crisis.
593
00:30:08,072 --> 00:30:11,735
Then perhaps that makes this the worst time
in history to challenge their validity.
594
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:15,541
No, on the contrary,
maybe now more than ever
595
00:30:15,613 --> 00:30:18,776
God wants us to
reexamine our faith.
596
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:21,751
And if those are the
consequences of my defense...
597
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,744
Amen.
598
00:30:23,922 --> 00:30:25,287
And if you lose?
599
00:30:27,258 --> 00:30:30,227
Where did your faith go,
Ms. Southerlyn?
600
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:40,931
You contact Bishop Durning?
601
00:30:41,005 --> 00:30:42,939
He'll be more than
happy to testify.
602
00:30:43,374 --> 00:30:46,810
Of course he will. He can't have
murder added to the mounting list
603
00:30:46,878 --> 00:30:48,345
of priestly iniquities.
604
00:30:48,413 --> 00:30:50,347
You're really enjoying this,
aren't you?
605
00:30:50,415 --> 00:30:51,735
There's nothing
quite like walking
606
00:30:51,749 --> 00:30:54,377
into a trial with
an uncontested confession.
607
00:30:54,953 --> 00:30:56,682
Yeah, that's what I thought.
608
00:30:56,754 --> 00:30:59,552
Smile, Serena.
This is our Inherit the Wind.
609
00:30:59,624 --> 00:31:02,855
This is where we get to
prove in a court of law
610
00:31:02,927 --> 00:31:04,656
that there is
no big guy up there
611
00:31:04,729 --> 00:31:06,697
with a white beard,
pulling invisible strings.
612
00:31:07,832 --> 00:31:09,493
So what did
those nuns do to you?
613
00:31:10,001 --> 00:31:11,662
That's irrelevant.
614
00:31:12,337 --> 00:31:15,795
Anybody who knows that
he knows gets my hair up.
615
00:31:16,274 --> 00:31:19,243
If you want my advice, Jack, I think
you should just let Father Hogan's
616
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:21,244
confession speak for itself.
617
00:31:21,312 --> 00:31:23,837
No good can come out
of debating religion.
618
00:31:24,315 --> 00:31:26,840
Maybe I should have
told that to the nuns.
619
00:31:30,955 --> 00:31:35,187
I thought he just took my gun to
stop me from doing something stupid.
620
00:31:37,362 --> 00:31:40,525
I had no idea that he would take
matters into his own hands.
621
00:31:41,532 --> 00:31:44,194
So, he didn't tell you
beforehand what his plans were?
622
00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:45,369
No.
623
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:48,265
I never would have let him.
624
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:52,637
Because even through your grief, you
realized that killing is wrong.
625
00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:55,577
I lost a child, Mr. McCoy.
626
00:31:57,649 --> 00:32:00,379
Do you have any idea
how much that hurts?
627
00:32:00,952 --> 00:32:04,217
It's like a knife in your
heart that won't go away.
628
00:32:06,724 --> 00:32:08,589
I'm sorry, Mr. Parker,
but I have to.
629
00:32:09,394 --> 00:32:10,452
I know.
630
00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:15,290
Please, tell us about the night
Scott Giddins was murdered.
631
00:32:15,366 --> 00:32:18,358
It was late. Father Hogan
came to my apartment.
632
00:32:18,436 --> 00:32:20,700
That's when I noticed
633
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:22,706
there were specks of blood
on his fingers.
634
00:32:23,207 --> 00:32:25,198
JACK: Did he tell you
where the blood came from?
635
00:32:25,276 --> 00:32:29,144
No. He didn't have to.
I knew.
636
00:32:35,053 --> 00:32:37,749
Did Father Hogan tell you
why he killed Scott Giddins?
637
00:32:38,423 --> 00:32:43,622
He said that God wanted him
to do what man refused to do.
638
00:32:44,362 --> 00:32:46,282
That God wanted that child
killer off the streets.
639
00:32:46,331 --> 00:32:49,095
That he wanted to keep
our neighborhood safe.
640
00:32:50,835 --> 00:32:55,204
He wanted to ease the grief that
Scott Giddins caused my wife and me.
641
00:32:56,941 --> 00:32:58,374
WHEELER:
And you believed him?
642
00:32:58,443 --> 00:33:00,411
Do I believe in God,
Mr. Wheeler?
643
00:33:02,613 --> 00:33:04,774
Yes, I do.
644
00:33:05,316 --> 00:33:06,977
That's not what I asked,
Mr. Parker.
645
00:33:07,051 --> 00:33:09,178
What I want to know is,
if you actually believe
646
00:33:09,253 --> 00:33:12,347
God put the gun
in Father Hogan's hand
647
00:33:12,423 --> 00:33:14,288
and told him to shoot.
648
00:33:15,326 --> 00:33:19,023
Nobody can prove to me
that He didn't.
649
00:33:27,105 --> 00:33:29,539
Although the Church
doesn't condone violence,
650
00:33:29,607 --> 00:33:32,838
God has historically been
used to justify murder,
651
00:33:32,910 --> 00:33:35,344
from the Crusades to 9 l 11,
652
00:33:35,413 --> 00:33:38,075
by men who believed they were
instruments of His will.
653
00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:41,607
But this belief is usually a
product of either mental illness,
654
00:33:41,686 --> 00:33:44,917
geopolitical ambition,
or misinterpretation.
655
00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:50,020
Did you hear Dr. Olivet testify
that Father Hogan was sane?
656
00:33:50,495 --> 00:33:51,495
Yes.
657
00:33:51,562 --> 00:33:53,621
Do you have any
evidence to the contrary?
658
00:33:53,698 --> 00:33:54,824
No.
659
00:33:54,899 --> 00:33:57,129
Any evidence that
he's a political zealot?
660
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,135
No. He's a good man.
661
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:01,768
So, under your paradigm,
662
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:04,034
if Father Hogan
received a message
663
00:34:04,142 --> 00:34:06,372
from the Almighty,
he misinterpreted it.
664
00:34:07,311 --> 00:34:09,836
That's correct.
The Almighty teaches us
665
00:34:09,914 --> 00:34:12,382
to save the sinner,
not kill him.
666
00:34:13,084 --> 00:34:16,076
JACK: He also teaches you
to pray for His guidance.
667
00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:17,951
Yes, but if that guidance calls
668
00:34:18,022 --> 00:34:22,049
for an act like murder,
we should be skeptical.
669
00:34:23,027 --> 00:34:24,654
I should hope so.
670
00:34:25,530 --> 00:34:27,250
But that's what
confuses me, Bishop Durning.
671
00:34:27,265 --> 00:34:28,823
When it comes to
something as important
672
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:30,390
as murder, don't you think that
673
00:34:30,468 --> 00:34:33,995
God would be as specific
as he could possibly be
674
00:34:34,072 --> 00:34:35,801
to eliminate
any margin for error?
675
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:44,643
Of course He would. Otherwise,
what kind of God would he be?
676
00:34:45,716 --> 00:34:47,240
JUDGE: Mr. Wheeler?
677
00:34:50,221 --> 00:34:51,984
Nothing, Your Honor.
678
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:58,660
It looks to me like the
Bishop just made our case.
679
00:34:58,729 --> 00:35:00,026
Really? Then
why do you suppose
680
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:01,190
Wheeler didn't
cross-examine him?
681
00:35:01,265 --> 00:35:03,199
What could he possibly ask?
682
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:04,632
The top gun in the local church
683
00:35:04,702 --> 00:35:06,693
just said Father Hogan
made a mistake.
684
00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:08,739
Yeah, that's one explanation.
The other is
685
00:35:08,806 --> 00:35:11,331
that he realized your tactics
were turning off the jury.
686
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:13,407
Why? How?
687
00:35:13,478 --> 00:35:15,969
Because an imperfect God
is no God at all.
688
00:35:16,047 --> 00:35:17,674
Did it ever cross your mind
689
00:35:17,748 --> 00:35:19,477
that the triers of fact
in a murder case
690
00:35:19,550 --> 00:35:22,041
might not want to hear you air
your disrespect of their faith?
691
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:24,212
That's not
what I was doing at all.
692
00:35:24,288 --> 00:35:27,746
I can't beat this sanctimonious
defense by tiptoeing around.
693
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:30,617
Besides, how do you know
they wouldn't like it?
694
00:35:30,695 --> 00:35:34,131
If nobody's watching, they can cheat
on their wives, cheat on their taxes,
695
00:35:34,198 --> 00:35:35,324
impose the death penalty,
696
00:35:35,399 --> 00:35:38,266
all without remorse, all without
worrying about redemption.
697
00:35:38,336 --> 00:35:40,133
Most people want comfort, hope.
698
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,764
They want to believe in something
bigger than themselves.
699
00:35:43,941 --> 00:35:45,909
You know what I believe?
700
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:48,938
I believe that Father
Hogan's pious platitudes
701
00:35:49,013 --> 00:35:51,607
and calm certainties
ain't necessarily so.
702
00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:56,611
I believe that anyone who wraps
themselves in the flag or in the cloth
703
00:35:56,687 --> 00:35:58,086
to excuse themselves
from the rules
704
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:00,056
the rest of us mortals
have to obey
705
00:36:00,691 --> 00:36:05,719
is pulling a fast one. It pisses me
off no end. "I know what God wants."
706
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:10,961
Come on, Serena. It's ego
or hubris or narcissism.
707
00:36:11,802 --> 00:36:13,429
So, "God's dead"?
708
00:36:15,206 --> 00:36:17,299
I'm proud to say I don't know.
709
00:36:17,375 --> 00:36:19,240
But I do know this,
that Father Hogan's
710
00:36:19,310 --> 00:36:22,074
right to his convictions stopped
at Scott Giddins' nose.
711
00:36:27,385 --> 00:36:30,286
The first shot missed.
My hand was shaking.
712
00:36:31,355 --> 00:36:33,482
I never held a gun before.
713
00:36:33,558 --> 00:36:35,924
But you managed to hit Mr.
Giddins with the second shot?
714
00:36:35,993 --> 00:36:38,427
When I saw him fall back,
715
00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:42,899
I couldn't help but think,
"God steadied my hand."
716
00:36:43,334 --> 00:36:45,097
WHEELER: God steadied it?
717
00:36:45,169 --> 00:36:47,797
God gave me the strength
to follow His guidance.
718
00:36:47,872 --> 00:36:50,238
But He wasn't the one who
pulled the trigger, was He?
719
00:36:50,308 --> 00:36:51,400
No.
720
00:36:51,475 --> 00:36:54,000
Scott Giddins was a drug dealer
who terrorized a neighborhood
721
00:36:54,078 --> 00:36:56,012
for no other reason
than his own greed.
722
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,240
He was a sinner.
723
00:36:57,315 --> 00:36:59,374
What happened to the Fifth
Commandment, Father?
724
00:36:59,450 --> 00:37:02,442
Scott Giddins caused
the death of a young boy.
725
00:37:03,654 --> 00:37:06,214
Exodus 20:13 may say,
"Thou shalt not kill,"
726
00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:08,724
but Exodus 21:12 says,
727
00:37:08,793 --> 00:37:13,423
"He that smiteth a man so that he
die shall surely be put to death."
728
00:37:20,838 --> 00:37:24,296
Just to be clear,
you killed Scott Giddins?
729
00:37:24,375 --> 00:37:25,603
Yes.
730
00:37:25,676 --> 00:37:29,874
So under oath you're admitting
you're guilty of breaking the law?
731
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:32,609
Man's law, not God's.
732
00:37:33,851 --> 00:37:37,582
And you believe that the law of
God should trump the law of man?
733
00:37:37,655 --> 00:37:39,316
That's how I live my life.
734
00:37:39,390 --> 00:37:41,517
That's why I couldn't
ignore His wishes.
735
00:37:42,159 --> 00:37:43,820
You heard his voice, did you?
736
00:37:43,894 --> 00:37:46,954
It wasn't a person to
person call, Mr. McCoy.
737
00:37:47,798 --> 00:37:50,699
I acted upon the enlightenment
that I received through prayer.
738
00:37:51,035 --> 00:37:53,731
That's all? No burning bush,
no pillar of fire?
739
00:37:53,804 --> 00:37:56,671
If you're asking for proof,
I can't give you any.
740
00:37:56,741 --> 00:37:59,335
That's the very essence
of faith, Mr. McCoy.
741
00:37:59,410 --> 00:38:02,573
Belief,
despite absence of proof.
742
00:38:03,648 --> 00:38:07,140
And God wanted
Scott Giddins killed?
743
00:38:07,385 --> 00:38:09,979
Mr. Giddins caused
a lot of suffering.
744
00:38:10,054 --> 00:38:12,454
You thought he should be
punished for his sins, did you?
745
00:38:12,523 --> 00:38:13,649
Yes.
746
00:38:13,724 --> 00:38:14,748
Well, that's
certainly convenient,
747
00:38:14,825 --> 00:38:17,055
your desires
matching those of God!
748
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:19,426
Objection. I'm just wondering
who spoke to whom.
749
00:38:19,797 --> 00:38:21,560
Enough, Counselor.
750
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:24,063
After you received
your marching orders,
751
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:26,296
did you think about
getting a second opinion?
752
00:38:26,370 --> 00:38:30,704
I mean, you know, check with
your superiors at the Church?
753
00:38:31,442 --> 00:38:34,843
To doubt God?
That would be hubris.
754
00:38:35,346 --> 00:38:37,576
On the other hand, some might
think it hubris not to.
755
00:38:37,648 --> 00:38:39,946
WHEELER: Objection.
Counsel is testifying.
756
00:38:40,685 --> 00:38:41,845
Withdrawn.
757
00:38:43,654 --> 00:38:47,613
Did your lawyer tell you that an
insanity defense was available to you?
758
00:38:47,692 --> 00:38:49,250
He told me a lot of things,
but I know
759
00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:50,817
in my heart that
I am not guilty.
760
00:38:50,895 --> 00:38:54,194
I also know in my heart
that a jury will believe me.
761
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:57,160
Then why did you
hide the murder weapon?
762
00:39:00,504 --> 00:39:02,563
Mr. Parker said...
JACK: Oh, I see.
763
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,768
Seeking the advice of man is wrong
when it comes to committing a crime,
764
00:39:05,843 --> 00:39:07,868
but it's okay when it
comes to covering one up?
765
00:39:09,013 --> 00:39:14,144
Is there any chance you simply
wanted to avoid man's punishment
766
00:39:15,252 --> 00:39:17,117
for breaking his laws?
767
00:39:20,324 --> 00:39:23,293
Maybe we can come back to that.
Tell me this, Father Hogan,
768
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,761
this suffering
you said Scott Giddins
769
00:39:25,830 --> 00:39:27,821
caused the people
in your neighborhood,
770
00:39:27,898 --> 00:39:29,866
specifically, you're
talking about the Parkers?
771
00:39:29,934 --> 00:39:30,958
That's correct.
772
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:34,630
And in your mind murdering Scott
Giddins would ease the pain
773
00:39:34,705 --> 00:39:36,502
of losing their only son?
774
00:39:36,907 --> 00:39:38,898
In God's mind.
775
00:39:38,976 --> 00:39:40,341
Now, that's interesting.
776
00:39:40,411 --> 00:39:42,743
Because if I remember correctly,
777
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,477
Mr. Parker testified
that losing his son
778
00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:50,543
was like a knife through his
heart which would not go away!
779
00:39:53,457 --> 00:39:56,255
A knife through the heart
hurts, Father Hogan.
780
00:39:56,327 --> 00:39:57,487
Your Honor...
781
00:39:57,561 --> 00:40:01,224
So, if God wanted to ease the Parkers' pain,
he really screwed the pooch on this one.
782
00:40:01,298 --> 00:40:02,538
JUDGE: All right.
That's enough.
783
00:40:02,566 --> 00:40:04,227
JACK: Tell me, Father Hogan,
784
00:40:04,301 --> 00:40:07,395
isn't it your job to
comfort your parishioners?
785
00:40:10,374 --> 00:40:11,500
Yes.
786
00:40:11,642 --> 00:40:12,802
But you couldn't
do it, could you?
787
00:40:12,877 --> 00:40:15,243
You were impotent to
ease the Parkers' pain.
788
00:40:19,383 --> 00:40:22,477
Maybe it wasn't God who screwed
the pooch, Father Hogan.
789
00:40:24,555 --> 00:40:26,182
Maybe it was you.
790
00:40:39,236 --> 00:40:41,636
JACK: It's your meeting,
Mr. Parker.
791
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,801
We have to be in court, sir.
792
00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:47,137
No. Call it off.
793
00:40:48,212 --> 00:40:49,474
It's a little late for that.
794
00:40:49,547 --> 00:40:50,946
But I did it.
795
00:40:52,149 --> 00:40:54,743
Father Hogan didn't do anything.
He shouldn't be punished.
796
00:40:55,286 --> 00:40:57,481
This is very noble of you,
Mr. Parker, but...
797
00:40:57,555 --> 00:41:00,035
He confessed and you believed him.
Now why won't you believe me?
798
00:41:01,859 --> 00:41:03,793
The gun was in my house!
799
00:41:05,029 --> 00:41:07,259
Excuse me,
this is a private meeting.
800
00:41:08,165 --> 00:41:10,133
This is stupid, Bill.
801
00:41:10,201 --> 00:41:12,362
I will not let you take
responsibility for what I did.
802
00:41:12,436 --> 00:41:13,903
Don't listen to him.
I am ready to go to jail.
803
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:15,097
Bill!
804
00:41:15,172 --> 00:41:17,003
BILL: Don't you see
what he is doing to you?
805
00:41:17,074 --> 00:41:19,804
He is mocking everything
that you believe.
806
00:41:19,877 --> 00:41:21,469
Now, if the jury...
They won't.
807
00:41:22,913 --> 00:41:24,676
If they lose faith...
808
00:41:24,748 --> 00:41:27,945
Then, we still have ours.
809
00:41:29,553 --> 00:41:31,885
What if that's not good enough?
810
00:41:33,390 --> 00:41:34,948
I prayed for the strength...
811
00:41:35,025 --> 00:41:37,892
And your prayer was
answered through me, Bill.
812
00:41:44,201 --> 00:41:48,501
Well, this certainly
makes things interesting.
813
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:51,974
Hey, you don't
really believe him?
814
00:41:53,744 --> 00:41:55,769
It's not my call.
It's up to a jury.
815
00:41:56,447 --> 00:41:58,039
Eight-and-a-third-to-25.
816
00:41:58,115 --> 00:41:59,446
WHEELER: Richard, don't.
817
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:01,815
This gives us reasonable doubt.
818
00:42:02,486 --> 00:42:06,820
I can't let this man put
himself in harm's way for me.
819
00:42:10,594 --> 00:42:12,459
Going, going...
820
00:42:13,631 --> 00:42:16,998
Fine. I accept.
821
00:42:37,922 --> 00:42:39,514
Are you staying?
822
00:42:44,929 --> 00:42:46,897
Can I ask you something?
823
00:42:48,699 --> 00:42:50,166
Tommy Suiter.
824
00:42:51,936 --> 00:42:54,564
He lived two doors down
from us on Damon Avenue.
825
00:42:54,638 --> 00:42:56,936
He was a couple of years
older than me, and
826
00:42:58,142 --> 00:43:02,203
as far back as I can remember, I
followed him around like a puppy.
827
00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:08,118
A VA hospital in 1968
was no place for a puppy.
828
00:43:09,954 --> 00:43:12,752
It was pretty grizzly
and it smelled bad.
829
00:43:13,223 --> 00:43:16,852
The boy in the bed beside Tommy's
had already passed away.
830
00:43:17,294 --> 00:43:20,388
Tommy's right leg was
somewhere in the basement.
831
00:43:20,898 --> 00:43:23,628
What was left of his face
was tar paper.
832
00:43:26,570 --> 00:43:28,834
I squeeze in beside
a priest who's urging Tommy
833
00:43:28,906 --> 00:43:31,534
to make a deathbed
recantation of his sins.
834
00:43:34,945 --> 00:43:39,006
Tommy smiles with the part of his
mouth that still works and says,
835
00:43:42,152 --> 00:43:44,552
"What difference
would it make?"
836
00:43:48,492 --> 00:43:51,928
The Priest moves on to the next bed.
Tommy says to me,
837
00:43:54,531 --> 00:43:56,761
"God forgive me if I'm wrong."
838
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:06,375
I think that's
