1
00:00:06,007 --> 00:00:07,773
ANNOUNCER:
Ball thrown in...
2
00:00:07,842 --> 00:00:09,341
and it's stolen away!
3
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:11,877
What are you doing?
4
00:00:11,946 --> 00:00:13,412
Gerald, call time-out, please.
5
00:00:13,481 --> 00:00:15,214
Time-out on the floor.
6
00:00:15,282 --> 00:00:16,348
Time-out.
7
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:18,350
Come on, guys! Over here now!
8
00:00:18,419 --> 00:00:20,719
Listen up, listen up: We're down
one and we need a score.
9
00:00:20,788 --> 00:00:23,722
You boys do what I tell you,
you'll be state champions!
10
00:00:23,791 --> 00:00:25,591
I want the ball
in Herman's hands.
11
00:00:25,659 --> 00:00:27,126
The rest of you guys
12
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:28,794
just clear out of his way,
you understand?
13
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:30,629
All right, bring it in.
Saints on three:
14
00:00:30,698 --> 00:00:31,630
One, two, three...
15
00:00:31,699 --> 00:00:32,364
ALL:
Saints!
16
00:00:32,433 --> 00:00:34,033
COACH:
Herman.
17
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:37,136
Put us on your back
and get us a win.
18
00:00:38,472 --> 00:00:40,305
WOMAN:
Let's go, Herman, baby!
19
00:00:40,374 --> 00:00:41,940
Herman, Herman,
do you uncle right, baby.
20
00:00:42,009 --> 00:00:43,542
Do your uncle right!
21
00:00:43,611 --> 00:00:46,011
Please, Lord, give young Herman
the strength to do me right.
22
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,514
Please! Come on, Herman.
Come on, baby.
23
00:00:48,582 --> 00:00:50,049
Let's do it, baby.
Come on.
24
00:00:50,117 --> 00:00:53,452
( crowd cheering )
25
00:00:53,521 --> 00:00:54,953
(hip-hop song playing)
26
00:00:56,457 --> 00:00:58,357
( whistle blows )
27
00:00:58,426 --> 00:01:02,127
� �
28
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:02,895
Yes!
29
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:19,278
Yes! Yes!
( buzzer sounds )
30
00:01:19,346 --> 00:01:20,345
ANNOUNCER:
Tech wins!
31
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:21,747
Philly Tech wins.
32
00:01:21,816 --> 00:01:24,249
We're number one, baby!
33
00:01:24,318 --> 00:01:30,422
Your new 1987 Pennsylvania boys
big school state champion
34
00:01:30,491 --> 00:01:35,461
are the Saints
from Philly Tec High.
35
00:01:35,529 --> 00:01:37,663
� �
36
00:02:18,873 --> 00:02:20,205
(door slams shut)
37
00:02:22,143 --> 00:02:24,176
( sighing )
38
00:02:24,245 --> 00:02:26,778
You figure 6:00 a.m.'s the right
time to start the day, boss?
39
00:02:26,847 --> 00:02:29,848
These guys have been
here an hour, Lil.
40
00:02:29,917 --> 00:02:32,151
You ever hear of
Herman Lester?
41
00:02:32,219 --> 00:02:33,819
No.
42
00:02:33,888 --> 00:02:35,587
Ah, he's only the best
basketball player
who ever lived.
43
00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:36,588
Yeah?
44
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:37,956
And died.
45
00:02:38,025 --> 00:02:40,392
He was murdered on
a playground court
in 1987.
46
00:02:40,461 --> 00:02:42,661
Never solved.
47
00:02:42,730 --> 00:02:44,830
So what are
we doing here?
48
00:02:44,899 --> 00:02:46,031
You see the kid
with the ball?
49
00:02:49,737 --> 00:02:51,203
That's Herman's son.
50
00:02:54,008 --> 00:02:55,007
( whistle tweets )
51
00:02:58,012 --> 00:02:59,978
Paul, ball never touches
the floor.
52
00:03:00,047 --> 00:03:01,680
Hey, John.
53
00:03:01,749 --> 00:03:03,749
And make the layup now.
Let's go!
54
00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:04,783
John.
55
00:03:04,852 --> 00:03:05,918
Coach.
56
00:03:05,986 --> 00:03:06,985
Thanks for coming.
57
00:03:07,054 --> 00:03:08,987
No problem.
This is Detective Rush.
58
00:03:09,056 --> 00:03:11,156
Nice to meet you.
Pleasure.
59
00:03:11,225 --> 00:03:13,692
Look, look, watch this.
60
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:17,763
Doesn't have Herman's
size, but ( whistles )
61
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:18,864
...more range.
62
00:03:18,933 --> 00:03:19,932
And the same confidence.
63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,266
I tell you, John,
64
00:03:21,335 --> 00:03:23,268
it's like coaching Herman
all over again.
65
00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:24,269
Hey, Ray!
66
00:03:24,338 --> 00:03:25,370
Come here!
67
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:26,338
STILLMAN:
Let's have him walk us
68
00:03:26,407 --> 00:03:27,339
through this phone call
he got.
69
00:03:27,408 --> 00:03:28,607
Some kind of threat?
70
00:03:28,676 --> 00:03:30,576
Ray, these are
Philadelphia police.
71
00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:31,710
Gonna help us out.
72
00:03:31,779 --> 00:03:33,412
Hey.
Hey.
73
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,347
Hi, Ray.
Hi.
74
00:03:35,416 --> 00:03:38,083
Want to tell us about
the phone call you got?
75
00:03:38,152 --> 00:03:39,284
Not much to it.
76
00:03:39,353 --> 00:03:41,320
I'm home, pick up
the phone and hear:
77
00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:42,821
If I play Friday night,
78
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:44,790
I'm gonna get the
screwdriver, just
like my dad.
79
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:46,592
Screwdriver?
80
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:48,860
It was the murder weapon.
81
00:03:48,929 --> 00:03:51,396
( sighing ):
So...
82
00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:53,165
what's Friday night?
83
00:03:54,101 --> 00:03:57,970
State championship.
84
00:03:58,038 --> 00:04:02,541
Uh, no idea who it was:
male, female, young, old?
85
00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:05,677
Male. Can't say
about the rest.
86
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:07,679
Ray, you having any
problems in school?
87
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:09,047
Any issues on
or off the court?
88
00:04:09,116 --> 00:04:12,150
Nah. Things are cool.
89
00:04:12,219 --> 00:04:14,052
Okay, Ray. Thanks.
90
00:04:14,121 --> 00:04:16,888
Back out there.
91
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:20,459
I need him
in the lineup Friday.
92
00:04:20,527 --> 00:04:22,027
Do really think this threat
93
00:04:22,096 --> 00:04:23,895
is connected to Herman's murder?
94
00:04:23,964 --> 00:04:26,665
Well, the kid's a
phenom like his dad.
95
00:04:26,734 --> 00:04:29,201
They both lead their
teams to the state
championship.
96
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:31,169
Herman gets murdered,
97
00:04:31,238 --> 00:04:32,804
now Ray gets
this death threat.
98
00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:34,573
Enough connection for me.
99
00:04:34,642 --> 00:04:36,775
STILLMAN:
We'll check with
the phone company,
see if we
100
00:04:36,844 --> 00:04:38,110
can trace where
the call came from.
101
00:04:40,147 --> 00:04:42,781
And pull Herman Lester's case.
102
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:48,086
Captioning sponsored by
WARNER BROS. TELEVISION

00:05:16,433 --> 00:05:17,766
VALENS:
I wish you'd have
eaten more.
104
00:05:17,835 --> 00:05:19,201
I ate all the melon.
105
00:05:19,269 --> 00:05:20,669
Yeah...
106
00:05:20,738 --> 00:05:22,537
Yeah, and you made sure
the home fries didn't
go to waste.
107
00:05:22,606 --> 00:05:24,740
( both laughing )
108
00:05:24,808 --> 00:05:27,109
I like being out here.
109
00:05:27,177 --> 00:05:28,677
In the cold.
110
00:05:28,746 --> 00:05:29,978
Yeah?
Mm.
111
00:05:33,517 --> 00:05:34,983
I'll get you a cab.
112
00:05:35,052 --> 00:05:35,984
Yeah?
113
00:05:36,053 --> 00:05:38,086
Yeah.
114
00:05:38,155 --> 00:05:40,622
What? What is it?
115
00:05:40,691 --> 00:05:42,791
There's a giant behind you.
116
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:44,793
What?
117
00:05:44,862 --> 00:05:47,462
Well, look for yourself.
118
00:05:47,531 --> 00:05:49,865
JEFFRIES:
Yeah. Look for yourself.
119
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:51,500
Oh, man.
120
00:05:51,568 --> 00:05:53,969
What... What are you doing here?
121
00:05:54,038 --> 00:05:56,038
Just getting my coffee.
122
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:57,506
What are you doing here?
123
00:05:57,574 --> 00:06:01,810
Uh, uh, just, uh, coffee.
124
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:04,880
Will Jeffries.
125
00:06:04,948 --> 00:06:06,048
Elisa.
126
00:06:06,116 --> 00:06:07,149
Sorry. Bonehead.
127
00:06:07,217 --> 00:06:08,350
We work together.
128
00:06:08,419 --> 00:06:09,818
Pleasure to
meet you.
129
00:06:09,887 --> 00:06:11,453
See you at work, Scotty.
130
00:06:11,522 --> 00:06:13,088
Yeah.
131
00:06:17,327 --> 00:06:20,228
So, uh, a cab, right?
132
00:06:27,104 --> 00:06:31,206
Guess, uh, Jeffries
is kind of a giant,
ain't he?
133
00:06:31,275 --> 00:06:34,476
Probably should've
said "big."
134
00:06:37,281 --> 00:06:38,680
If Herman Lester
had lived,
135
00:06:38,749 --> 00:06:41,783
folks around here would
think of Dr. J as just
another player.
136
00:06:41,852 --> 00:06:43,785
Come on, boss.
137
00:06:43,854 --> 00:06:45,153
The good doctor
would jump so high,
138
00:06:45,222 --> 00:06:47,322
he could pick a dollar
off the top of the backboards.
139
00:06:47,391 --> 00:06:50,459
Scotty, Herman Lester
would leave change.
140
00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:54,129
Whatever Herman did,
he returned to earth
141
00:06:54,198 --> 00:06:56,598
and caught the wrong end
of a Phillips screwdriver.
142
00:06:56,667 --> 00:06:58,567
Yeah. Pierced once
through the heart.
143
00:06:58,635 --> 00:07:00,402
And bled out like
a mere mortal
144
00:07:00,471 --> 00:07:01,870
on the court
at Player's Park.
145
00:07:01,939 --> 00:07:02,938
Suspects?
146
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:05,240
One: Billy Berkenpass,
a teammate.
147
00:07:05,309 --> 00:07:06,975
Good player in his own right,
but no Herman.
148
00:07:07,044 --> 00:07:08,944
Says here
that was the problem.
149
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:11,379
Berkenpass hated playing
second fiddle to Herman.
150
00:07:11,448 --> 00:07:12,681
Attitude got him booted off
the team.
151
00:07:12,749 --> 00:07:14,749
He missed the state championship
same night Herman died.
152
00:07:14,818 --> 00:07:15,884
Yeah, he lost out
153
00:07:15,953 --> 00:07:17,018
in love, too.
154
00:07:17,087 --> 00:07:19,654
Tanya Williams dumped Berkenpass
for Herman
155
00:07:19,723 --> 00:07:20,722
a few months earlier.
156
00:07:20,791 --> 00:07:21,890
Double motive.
157
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:24,159
Footnote says
maybe Herman was iced
158
00:07:24,228 --> 00:07:26,728
by a bagman
from a Top 20 school?
159
00:07:26,797 --> 00:07:28,263
Sounds like urban legend.
160
00:07:28,332 --> 00:07:29,531
Yeah, smart money
was on Berkenpass.
161
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,532
On top of everything else,
162
00:07:30,601 --> 00:07:32,267
20 kids saw him confront Herman
163
00:07:32,336 --> 00:07:33,768
at an after-game party
that night.
164
00:07:33,837 --> 00:07:35,437
So why didn't he go down?
No hard evidence,
165
00:07:35,506 --> 00:07:36,872
and he had an alibi.
166
00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:38,807
Time of the murder, he claimed
he was home with his dad.
167
00:07:38,876 --> 00:07:41,943
Aw, Dad vouching for you
ain't exactly airtight.
168
00:07:42,012 --> 00:07:44,479
Are we sure this job is
connected to Ray's death threat?
169
00:07:44,548 --> 00:07:45,914
Well, seems like it.
170
00:07:45,983 --> 00:07:48,049
Especially since the threat
was made from a pay phone
171
00:07:48,118 --> 00:07:50,685
at the City Center Rec.
172
00:07:50,754 --> 00:07:52,754
Yeah, and guess who hoops
it up there, every day
over lunch hour.
173
00:07:52,823 --> 00:07:54,589
Berkenpass.
174
00:07:56,193 --> 00:07:57,292
JEFFRIES:
Your son says he was with you
175
00:07:57,361 --> 00:07:59,361
the night Herman Lester
was killed.
176
00:07:59,429 --> 00:08:01,029
Yeah, we sat in front of
the tube till 3:00 a.m.
177
00:08:01,098 --> 00:08:02,697
You always
178
00:08:02,766 --> 00:08:04,599
watch TV that late?
179
00:08:04,668 --> 00:08:06,701
No, just that night. Good, Bad and the Ugly was on.
180
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,571
Got a pretty specific
memory there.
181
00:08:11,642 --> 00:08:14,709
I've only been asked the
question about 90 times.
182
00:08:17,314 --> 00:08:18,847
Hey, hey, hey!
183
00:08:18,916 --> 00:08:20,549
No reason for you to touch that.
184
00:08:22,586 --> 00:08:23,752
VERA:
So, that night...
185
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:25,787
Billy must've been
pretty steamed,
186
00:08:25,856 --> 00:08:26,955
after what happened to him.
187
00:08:27,024 --> 00:08:28,290
What do you mean?
188
00:08:28,358 --> 00:08:30,425
Him getting kicked off
the team, missing
the big game.
189
00:08:30,494 --> 00:08:32,093
My kid got screwed.
190
00:08:32,162 --> 00:08:33,161
VERA:
Plus, Herman taking up
191
00:08:33,230 --> 00:08:34,896
with his ex-girlfriend--
Tanya, right?
192
00:08:34,965 --> 00:08:36,231
Got screwed twice.
193
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:37,866
He was better off
losing the girl.
194
00:08:37,935 --> 00:08:40,302
You didn't like her?
195
00:08:40,370 --> 00:08:42,671
I don't like any girls
in the picture.
196
00:08:42,739 --> 00:08:45,907
Women weaken legs.
That's no good
for basketball.
197
00:08:45,976 --> 00:08:47,509
Look, it's admirable,
198
00:08:47,578 --> 00:08:49,511
you defending your boy
all this time...
199
00:08:49,580 --> 00:08:51,680
Yeah, somebody had to.
200
00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:53,682
Within 24 hours, you cops
were all over that boy
201
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:55,450
for the murder of Lester.
202
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:57,652
The kid was 17 years old.
203
00:08:57,721 --> 00:08:59,788
I guess you didn't
get enough,
204
00:08:59,856 --> 00:09:02,224
'cause now you're at it again.
205
00:09:11,268 --> 00:09:13,335
Why are you asking about Herman?
206
00:09:13,403 --> 00:09:15,003
RUSH:
We're reopening
his murder case.
207
00:09:15,072 --> 00:09:17,005
No, leave it alone.
Leave it.
208
00:09:17,074 --> 00:09:18,440
Tanya, we think
209
00:09:18,508 --> 00:09:20,475
looking at Herman's case
will help your son's situation.
210
00:09:20,544 --> 00:09:21,643
How?
211
00:09:21,712 --> 00:09:24,112
Tanya, let Uncle Freddie
handle this.
212
00:09:24,181 --> 00:09:25,714
I'm the man who
raised Herman,
213
00:09:25,782 --> 00:09:27,315
and I been like a father
to Ray, too.
214
00:09:27,384 --> 00:09:28,350
So tell me.
215
00:09:28,418 --> 00:09:29,784
How will it help?
216
00:09:32,189 --> 00:09:34,055
We think Billy Berkenpass
may have made the call to Ray.
217
00:09:34,124 --> 00:09:35,624
That's the dude who killed Dad?
218
00:09:35,692 --> 00:09:36,791
We don't know that.
219
00:09:36,860 --> 00:09:38,026
Oh, that white boy
220
00:09:38,095 --> 00:09:39,894
was so jealous of your pop!
221
00:09:39,963 --> 00:09:41,096
Freddie, don't start.
222
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:43,298
Ray, you recognize
this guy?
223
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:46,301
Oh, man... that's The Ghost.
224
00:09:46,370 --> 00:09:47,969
"The Ghost"?
225
00:09:48,038 --> 00:09:51,139
When I'm out playing pickup,
he's there watching.
226
00:09:51,208 --> 00:09:53,275
White dude looks at me funny.
227
00:09:54,544 --> 00:09:56,177
How long's this been going on?
228
00:09:56,246 --> 00:09:58,213
Ever since I started
making a name for myself.
229
00:09:58,282 --> 00:09:59,414
Maybe about two years ago.
230
00:09:59,483 --> 00:10:00,649
The Ghost ever approach you?
231
00:10:00,717 --> 00:10:02,417
Nah.
That's it!
232
00:10:02,486 --> 00:10:03,785
Uncle Freddie's stepping in.
233
00:10:03,854 --> 00:10:04,886
Ray ain't playing Friday.
234
00:10:04,955 --> 00:10:07,055
You said
there'd be security, right?
235
00:10:07,124 --> 00:10:07,856
Right.
236
00:10:07,924 --> 00:10:09,090
No, no, no! No risk!
237
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:11,092
The boy is going League,
understand?
238
00:10:11,161 --> 00:10:11,960
League?
239
00:10:12,029 --> 00:10:14,396
NBA pro scouts already got Ray
240
00:10:14,464 --> 00:10:16,164
marked down
as a first-round
241
00:10:16,233 --> 00:10:17,565
draft choice.
Ray hasn't decided
242
00:10:17,634 --> 00:10:19,434
where he's going next year,
Freddie, so shut it.
243
00:10:19,503 --> 00:10:20,502
Hopefully, we clear
244
00:10:20,570 --> 00:10:21,903
this whole thing
before the game.
245
00:10:21,972 --> 00:10:24,306
Are you sure
Billy called my son?
246
00:10:24,374 --> 00:10:26,675
Not a hundred percent.
247
00:10:26,743 --> 00:10:28,810
I never believed
he killed Herman.
248
00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:31,813
No?
249
00:10:31,882 --> 00:10:33,281
Me and Billy dated.
250
00:10:34,418 --> 00:10:35,884
I knew him.
251
00:10:35,952 --> 00:10:37,686
It'd really help if you'd
tell us what you remember
252
00:10:37,754 --> 00:10:40,322
about that night,
Tanya.
253
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:43,291
We won the state championship...
254
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,493
then there was a party.
255
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:46,828
� �
256
00:10:46,897 --> 00:10:50,432
Go, Philly! Go, Philly!
Go, Philly! Go, Philly!
257
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:52,467
Go, Philly! Go, Philly!
258
00:10:55,739 --> 00:10:57,272
( both laughing )
259
00:10:57,341 --> 00:11:00,275
Philly Tech says
he's their guy.
260
00:11:00,344 --> 00:11:03,211
But off the court,
this man is mine.
261
00:11:04,481 --> 00:11:06,214
BILLY:
Where the hell's
Herman?!
262
00:11:07,551 --> 00:11:08,683
Billy...
263
00:11:08,752 --> 00:11:10,318
what are you doing here?
264
00:11:10,387 --> 00:11:13,221
Being friends.
265
00:11:13,290 --> 00:11:15,924
Isn't that what you said,
Tanya? We'd be friends?
266
00:11:15,992 --> 00:11:17,692
Yo, don't be mad
at her, man.
267
00:11:17,761 --> 00:11:19,661
Okay, I'll be mad at you.
268
00:11:21,298 --> 00:11:22,797
You take my girl, I'm supposed
to be cool with it?
269
00:11:25,769 --> 00:11:27,001
Oh, man,
you're drunk.
270
00:11:27,070 --> 00:11:27,936
Don't you walk
away from me...
271
00:11:29,773 --> 00:11:31,573
All right, yo! Let him up,
let him up, let him up!
272
00:11:31,641 --> 00:11:32,974
Come on. Get off him.
273
00:11:33,043 --> 00:11:35,543
Get off him.
274
00:11:35,612 --> 00:11:37,178
( sniffs )
275
00:11:37,247 --> 00:11:38,780
You want to talk, Billy?
276
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:42,617
No.
277
00:11:42,686 --> 00:11:44,719
I'm on your home court here.
278
00:11:46,823 --> 00:11:48,056
I'll catch you later.
279
00:11:58,635 --> 00:12:01,069
RUSH:
How did Herman
280
00:12:01,138 --> 00:12:03,338
end up in Player's Park
that night?
281
00:12:03,407 --> 00:12:05,573
He'd go there
to clear his head.
282
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:07,275
What's Player's Park?
283
00:12:07,344 --> 00:12:08,710
It's across town.
284
00:12:08,779 --> 00:12:10,712
It's where your dad died.
285
00:12:10,781 --> 00:12:12,380
FREDDIE:
Back in Herman's day
286
00:12:12,449 --> 00:12:14,582
that's where a player
would go to prove himself.
287
00:12:14,651 --> 00:12:16,384
RUSH:
We'll let you know
288
00:12:16,453 --> 00:12:18,453
what we find out,
Tanya.
289
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:31,800
Billy Berkenpass?
290
00:12:31,868 --> 00:12:33,935
Yes?
Detectives Valens
and Rush.
291
00:12:34,004 --> 00:12:36,971
Can we have
a minute?
292
00:12:39,943 --> 00:12:42,143
Doing real good, Michael.
293
00:12:42,212 --> 00:12:44,479
Can we...?
294
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:49,050
Should have known you
people would show up.
295
00:12:49,119 --> 00:12:50,318
RUSH:
Why is that?
296
00:12:50,387 --> 00:12:52,720
Everyone knows Ray Lester
got a death threat.
297
00:12:52,789 --> 00:12:54,489
I'm sure you think I made it.
298
00:12:54,558 --> 00:12:57,058
The call was
made from the
City Center Rec.
299
00:12:57,127 --> 00:12:58,426
Where you play ball
every day.
300
00:12:58,495 --> 00:13:00,528
Guess someone's trying
to make me look bad.
301
00:13:00,597 --> 00:13:02,497
We got some prints
off the phone.
302
00:13:02,566 --> 00:13:04,566
One of them
gonna be yours, Billy?
303
00:13:04,634 --> 00:13:06,267
I'll let you find that
out for yourself.
304
00:13:06,336 --> 00:13:08,069
Let's talk about 1987,
305
00:13:08,138 --> 00:13:10,738
when your teammate
Herman died...
306
00:13:10,807 --> 00:13:11,906
Knew this was coming.
307
00:13:11,975 --> 00:13:14,142
...not long after Tanya
broke up with you
308
00:13:14,211 --> 00:13:15,143
for him.
309
00:13:15,212 --> 00:13:16,244
That pretty hard on you?
310
00:13:16,313 --> 00:13:19,314
Yeah. First heartbreak.
311
00:13:19,382 --> 00:13:20,815
What happened?
312
00:13:20,884 --> 00:13:22,417
Black girl. White guy.
313
00:13:22,486 --> 00:13:24,752
The world wasn't
rooting for us.
314
00:13:24,821 --> 00:13:28,790
Hey, sports question:
Think much of Ray's game?
315
00:13:28,859 --> 00:13:30,992
Papers say he's the
second coming of Herman.
316
00:13:31,061 --> 00:13:31,993
What do you say?
317
00:13:32,062 --> 00:13:33,261
I've seen him a lot.
318
00:13:33,330 --> 00:13:35,730
He's as good
as advertised.
319
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:39,968
I didn't call that kid,
I didn't kill Herman.
320
00:13:40,036 --> 00:13:43,605
Right. "Home with your dad."
321
00:13:43,673 --> 00:13:45,440
VALENS:
So, if it wasn't you, Billy,
322
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:48,243
who was it?
323
00:13:48,311 --> 00:13:50,845
Recruiting was out
of control over
Herman.
324
00:13:50,914 --> 00:13:52,981
One coach handed
him a motel key,
325
00:13:53,049 --> 00:13:55,783
said he had a super
model waiting for him.
326
00:13:55,852 --> 00:13:57,619
Saying Herman
took that room key?
327
00:13:57,687 --> 00:14:03,024
Not that one, but I saw
him take another key.
328
00:14:03,093 --> 00:14:04,359
� My eyes are getting bigger �
329
00:14:04,427 --> 00:14:05,660
� Big time �
330
00:14:05,729 --> 00:14:08,062
� And my mouth �
331
00:14:08,131 --> 00:14:10,031
� Big time �
332
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:12,567
� My belly is getting bigger �
333
00:14:12,636 --> 00:14:14,102
� Big time �
334
00:14:14,170 --> 00:14:16,571
� And my bank account �
335
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,273
� Big time �
336
00:14:18,341 --> 00:14:21,276
� And the bulge in my big, big,
big, big, big, big, big... �
337
00:14:21,344 --> 00:14:22,777
( starts engine )
338
00:14:28,552 --> 00:14:32,854
I mean, who knows how many
programs Herman took gifts from.
339
00:14:32,923 --> 00:14:36,124
But a player can
only make one school happy.
340
00:14:36,192 --> 00:14:39,160
Herman was about to piss off
a university, so they kill him?
341
00:14:39,229 --> 00:14:41,229
Pretty far out theory Billy.
342
00:14:41,298 --> 00:14:42,864
Maybe not a president,
343
00:14:42,933 --> 00:14:44,899
or a dean, but you'd
be surprised
344
00:14:44,968 --> 00:14:47,502
what the round ball's
made grown men do.
345
00:14:49,205 --> 00:14:51,706
COACH LEIN:
Yeah, there was a car...
346
00:14:51,775 --> 00:14:53,775
for a day.
347
00:14:53,843 --> 00:14:54,976
I got right in Herman's face,
348
00:14:55,045 --> 00:14:56,911
told him the car goes back
where it came from.
349
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:58,046
Which was where?
350
00:14:58,114 --> 00:15:00,181
Well, that I didn't
need to know.
351
00:15:00,250 --> 00:15:03,184
Bottom line, Herman was on
the bus the next day.
352
00:15:03,253 --> 00:15:05,653
Billy Berkenpass
thinks Herman received other
353
00:15:05,722 --> 00:15:07,055
under-the-table gifts.
354
00:15:07,123 --> 00:15:09,524
Billy Berkenpass has been trying
to muddy Herman's name
355
00:15:09,593 --> 00:15:12,193
since the day
I kicked him
off the team.
356
00:15:12,262 --> 00:15:14,562
What happened there?
357
00:15:14,631 --> 00:15:17,999
I guess enough time has passed.
358
00:15:18,068 --> 00:15:20,001
I'll tell you.
359
00:15:20,070 --> 00:15:22,870
BERKENPASS:
That's right. I'm talking
about you and Big Ed Brown!
360
00:15:22,939 --> 00:15:24,672
HERMAN:
You'd better
watch your mouth, man!
361
00:15:24,741 --> 00:15:26,641
Hey, what the hell's
the problem?
362
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:28,343
Herman don't want
to win tonight.
363
00:15:28,411 --> 00:15:29,611
That's crap!
364
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:32,213
'Cause his bookie, Big Ed Brown,
he owns Herman.
365
00:15:32,282 --> 00:15:33,948
That's not true, Coach.
Come on.
366
00:15:34,017 --> 00:15:35,249
Then why'd he
offer me 500 bucks
367
00:15:35,318 --> 00:15:36,618
to join you in
messing the game?
368
00:15:36,686 --> 00:15:38,219
Don't you lie, Billy.
369
00:15:38,288 --> 00:15:39,921
It's the truth.
He's on the take.
370
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:42,457
You gonna talk about Herman
like that,
371
00:15:42,525 --> 00:15:43,958
you're off this team!
372
00:15:44,027 --> 00:15:46,461
Coach!
You're off this team!
373
00:15:55,939 --> 00:15:58,706
He'd say anything
to take down Herman.
374
00:15:58,775 --> 00:16:01,476
Attitude problem
three years running.
375
00:16:01,544 --> 00:16:03,845
Nothing to his allegations?
376
00:16:05,482 --> 00:16:07,382
Herman won the game for us.
377
00:16:07,450 --> 00:16:10,418
Shook four guys
and dunked on a
seven-footer.
378
00:16:10,487 --> 00:16:12,587
End of story, okay?
379
00:16:12,656 --> 00:16:14,622
End of story.
380
00:16:16,359 --> 00:16:18,459
( crowd cheering )
381
00:16:18,528 --> 00:16:19,927
( whistle blows )
382
00:16:19,996 --> 00:16:21,963
Oh! Boy, he
missed a bunny.
383
00:16:22,032 --> 00:16:24,132
That's like three in a row.
384
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,967
'87 State Championship?
385
00:16:26,036 --> 00:16:28,770
RUSH:
Herman's last
night on earth.
386
00:16:28,838 --> 00:16:31,906
He turned the ball over again.
387
00:16:31,975 --> 00:16:34,342
Okay, and now
here's the end.
388
00:16:42,552 --> 00:16:44,185
All right.
Freeze it.
389
00:16:44,254 --> 00:16:45,420
ANNOUNCER:
Tech wins!
390
00:16:47,824 --> 00:16:50,458
Now, he just won
the championship.
391
00:16:50,527 --> 00:16:52,794
Everyone else
is going wild,
392
00:16:52,862 --> 00:16:54,262
but look at Herman.
393
00:16:54,330 --> 00:16:56,731
VERA:
Nothing.
394
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,232
Maybe he agreed
to throw the game,
395
00:16:58,301 --> 00:16:59,667
but in the end couldn't do it.
396
00:16:59,736 --> 00:17:02,603
That would explain
why he's not smiling.
397
00:17:02,672 --> 00:17:04,706
And maybe why he got killed.
398
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:15,967
Ray, can I steal you
for a minute?
399
00:17:22,308 --> 00:17:24,342
You catch that guy
who called me?
400
00:17:24,411 --> 00:17:25,410
Not yet.
401
00:17:25,478 --> 00:17:27,211
I got to ask you, Ray--
402
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,614
did anyone offer
you money to fix
the game this Friday?
403
00:17:29,682 --> 00:17:30,782
No way.
404
00:17:30,850 --> 00:17:34,052
How about other games
during the season?
405
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,487
College boosters putting
pressure on you, or...?
406
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:38,689
Coach keeps all
the shady dudes away.
407
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:41,526
But Coach can't be
everywhere at once,
you know?
408
00:17:41,594 --> 00:17:43,194
Why you asking this stuff?
409
00:17:43,263 --> 00:17:45,329
Recruiting was crazy
for your dad.
410
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:47,598
People were trying to get
to him in all sorts of ways.
411
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:49,367
And I figure it's like
that for you, too.
412
00:17:49,436 --> 00:17:50,735
Yeah, it can be crazy.
413
00:17:50,804 --> 00:17:52,303
So maybe
you're up against
414
00:17:52,372 --> 00:17:54,639
some of the same
things your dad was.
415
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:56,307
Now you're saying my dad
made a shady deal?
416
00:17:56,376 --> 00:17:57,475
I'm not saying that.
417
00:17:57,544 --> 00:17:58,976
Or if he didn't make it,
that got him killed?
418
00:17:59,045 --> 00:18:00,344
Ray, I don't know
what happened yet,
419
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:02,980
but I want to
find out for you.
420
00:18:03,049 --> 00:18:06,751
I thought that Berkenpass dude
killed him.
421
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:09,587
Right, he was the
primary suspect.
422
00:18:09,656 --> 00:18:12,857
But maybe my dad got iced over
someone fixing a game,
423
00:18:12,926 --> 00:18:15,927
or what school he was gonna
play for? Over ball?
424
00:18:15,995 --> 00:18:17,695
Try not to guess
too much, Ray.
425
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:21,032
Remember, we just
need to look at all
the possibilities.
426
00:18:25,071 --> 00:18:27,271
Never met no Billy Berkenpass.
427
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:28,940
Well, he says he
met you, Big Ed,
428
00:18:29,008 --> 00:18:29,974
17 years back.
429
00:18:30,043 --> 00:18:32,210
Nah.
How 'bout Herman Lester?
430
00:18:36,116 --> 00:18:40,585
Hey, you like fedora hats,
Big Ed?
431
00:18:40,653 --> 00:18:41,919
They look good on me.
432
00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:43,121
Great.
433
00:18:43,189 --> 00:18:46,023
You can wear one for
your mug shot, like Al Capone.
434
00:18:46,092 --> 00:18:47,091
Capone?
435
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,327
You don't get chatty
real quick here,
436
00:18:49,395 --> 00:18:51,129
I get my pal at the IRS
437
00:18:51,197 --> 00:18:52,663
comb over your income taxes,
438
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:54,499
blow your betting
operation open--
439
00:18:54,567 --> 00:18:55,933
Big Ed's
out of business.
440
00:18:57,437 --> 00:19:00,838
Maybe I do remember
young Herman.
441
00:19:00,907 --> 00:19:02,940
I was hoping.
442
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:07,912
But I was better acquainted
with his Uncle Freddie.
443
00:19:07,981 --> 00:19:09,680
Oh, man, ay...
444
00:19:09,749 --> 00:19:13,518
Oh... Big Ed,
thank you for coming.
445
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:14,852
The only reason I'm here
446
00:19:14,921 --> 00:19:16,454
is 'cause you owe me
five grand.
447
00:19:16,523 --> 00:19:17,555
Now, where is it?
448
00:19:17,624 --> 00:19:19,457
There's been
some complications.
449
00:19:19,526 --> 00:19:21,792
Brother, man,
that is the wrong answer.
450
00:19:21,861 --> 00:19:23,995
Yo, but I got
the right answer.
451
00:19:24,063 --> 00:19:25,530
But I need one more day.
452
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:26,797
See, I got a plan.
453
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:28,900
You know, it's
fool proof, too.
454
00:19:28,968 --> 00:19:29,934
Check it out.
455
00:19:30,003 --> 00:19:33,004
Yeah, let it rain, Herman,
let it rain!
456
00:19:33,072 --> 00:19:34,939
Yo, man, you best pull
out your umbrella,
457
00:19:35,008 --> 00:19:36,574
'cause you is getting
soaked, dog.
458
00:19:38,077 --> 00:19:40,411
Yeah. You got to give
me one more day.
459
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,446
See, Herman Lester's
my nephew,
460
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:44,081
and the boy's got a lot
of love for me,
461
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:45,550
so, see, with tomorrow
night's game,
462
00:19:45,618 --> 00:19:47,318
I'm gonna get him to
do me a little favor.
463
00:19:47,387 --> 00:19:49,253
You telling me
you can get that boy
464
00:19:49,322 --> 00:19:51,255
to turn
the State Championship out?
465
00:19:51,324 --> 00:19:52,823
I can make it happen.
466
00:19:52,892 --> 00:19:54,225
Yo, Herman!
467
00:19:54,294 --> 00:19:56,727
Who loves you, baby?
468
00:19:56,796 --> 00:19:58,095
You do, Uncle Fred.
469
00:19:58,164 --> 00:19:59,797
( laughs ):
That's what
I'm talking about.
470
00:20:03,603 --> 00:20:06,204
Freddie had that kind
of influence over Herman?
471
00:20:06,272 --> 00:20:07,538
I wasn't sold.
472
00:20:07,607 --> 00:20:11,409
So, I paid a visit
to the Berkenpass kid.
473
00:20:11,477 --> 00:20:13,044
How'd that go down?
474
00:20:13,112 --> 00:20:15,313
It didn't.
And with no insurance,
475
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:17,515
I decided to sit that game out.
476
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:18,950
But the way Herman played,
477
00:20:19,018 --> 00:20:21,586
it seemed like Freddie did have
him on a string.
478
00:20:21,654 --> 00:20:25,156
All I know is when it was over,
Freddie still owed me money.
479
00:20:25,225 --> 00:20:28,426
That must have had him
running scared.
480
00:20:28,494 --> 00:20:29,560
Sure,
481
00:20:29,629 --> 00:20:31,329
but he slowed down.
482
00:20:31,397 --> 00:20:33,364
Maybe you've noticed--
483
00:20:33,433 --> 00:20:36,567
Freddie don't walk
so good no more.
484
00:20:36,636 --> 00:20:39,270
VALENS:
You got something riding
485
00:20:39,339 --> 00:20:40,504
on this Friday's game, Freddie?
486
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:41,639
What do you mean?
487
00:20:41,708 --> 00:20:43,107
Trying to keep Ray
out of playing,
488
00:20:43,176 --> 00:20:44,642
so you can
score some bets?
489
00:20:44,711 --> 00:20:46,911
Just like you tried to score off
his dad in '87.
What now?
490
00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:49,113
We know you asked Herman
to throw the game
the night he died.
491
00:20:49,182 --> 00:20:51,949
Come on, now, if I did that,
why did they win, huh?
492
00:20:52,018 --> 00:20:53,417
Logic, Freddie.
Just 'cause they won
493
00:20:53,486 --> 00:20:54,685
don't mean you didn't ask him.
494
00:20:54,754 --> 00:20:57,622
I was in full support
of Herman's career.
495
00:20:57,690 --> 00:21:00,124
But you owed money
to Big Ed Brown.
496
00:21:00,193 --> 00:21:01,626
I paid Big Ed.
Late.
497
00:21:01,694 --> 00:21:02,793
That's why you got
your knees broke.
498
00:21:02,862 --> 00:21:04,128
But first you tried
to fix the Tech game
499
00:21:04,197 --> 00:21:05,529
to cash in on it,
500
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:07,431
'cause you
didn't want your knees broke.
501
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:08,432
Who does?
502
00:21:08,501 --> 00:21:10,268
I talked to Big Ed.
503
00:21:10,336 --> 00:21:15,006
He told me you promised
Herman would lose that game.
504
00:21:15,074 --> 00:21:17,942
Why didn't you say so
at the top, huh?
505
00:21:18,011 --> 00:21:20,911
The truth, Freddie.
506
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:27,385
It wasn't my proudest moment.
507
00:21:29,055 --> 00:21:30,888
Herman, this is a one-time,
and one-time only thing now.
508
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:32,556
I can't believe
you're asking me this!
509
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:34,158
You think I want
to be asking?
510
00:21:34,227 --> 00:21:36,227
I'm embarrassed now,
I can hardly look
you in the eye.
511
00:21:36,296 --> 00:21:37,828
Can't you work this out
with Big Ed?
512
00:21:37,897 --> 00:21:39,096
This is working it out.
513
00:21:39,165 --> 00:21:42,133
Don't you get that.
Man, he's gonna hurt me,
514
00:21:42,201 --> 00:21:43,934
for keeps, man,
understand?
515
00:21:44,003 --> 00:21:45,970
Freddie...
Herman, listen,
516
00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:48,906
you're gonna have
everything in this
life, man.
517
00:21:48,975 --> 00:21:51,575
The good Lord didn't give
me the talent he gave you.
518
00:21:51,644 --> 00:21:54,378
That's okay, I make do...
519
00:21:54,447 --> 00:21:59,650
but I'm asking you, this once,
toss this dog a bone.
520
00:22:06,626 --> 00:22:09,427
No. I can't do it.
521
00:22:09,495 --> 00:22:11,896
I'm sorry, no.
522
00:22:17,437 --> 00:22:20,371
But when Herman played so bad
that night,
523
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,441
it looked like he might come
through for you after all.
524
00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:24,909
Gave you hope during
the whole game
525
00:22:24,977 --> 00:22:25,943
right up to the buzzer.
526
00:22:26,012 --> 00:22:26,944
That must have pissed you off.
527
00:22:27,013 --> 00:22:27,945
No, no, no!
528
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:28,979
Ungrateful kid
529
00:22:29,048 --> 00:22:30,314
won't step up for the man
530
00:22:30,383 --> 00:22:32,016
who was a father figure to him.
531
00:22:32,085 --> 00:22:33,017
So maybe you're the one
532
00:22:33,086 --> 00:22:34,652
who lowered the boom
on Herman.
533
00:22:34,721 --> 00:22:36,220
That's an outrage,
you saying that!
( knocking )
534
00:22:43,996 --> 00:22:45,029
What's wrong?
535
00:22:45,098 --> 00:22:47,198
Ray's missing.
536
00:22:53,489 --> 00:22:54,789
Could Ray have skipped out
on practice?
537
00:22:54,857 --> 00:22:56,223
No, no, no.
538
00:22:56,292 --> 00:22:57,625
Ray doesn't miss practice.
539
00:22:57,693 --> 00:22:59,527
He comes early,
leaves late always.
540
00:22:59,595 --> 00:23:02,129
Maybe he just went somewhere
to clear his head.
541
00:23:02,198 --> 00:23:04,165
TANYA:
You think Billy has him?
542
00:23:04,233 --> 00:23:05,966
I'm gonna go see Billy
right now.
543
00:23:06,035 --> 00:23:07,301
Could I come?
544
00:23:07,370 --> 00:23:08,836
Yeah.
545
00:23:12,542 --> 00:23:13,941
Hey, Freddie.
546
00:23:15,044 --> 00:23:16,177
Stay close.
547
00:23:18,648 --> 00:23:20,781
Could the timing
be worse?
548
00:23:20,850 --> 00:23:22,349
Did Ray have somewhere
he had to be?
549
00:23:22,418 --> 00:23:24,652
Yeah. He had visits
from two Big Ten
schools tonight.
550
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,687
What's more important here,
Coach?
551
00:23:26,756 --> 00:23:28,489
I don't expect
you to understand.
552
00:23:28,558 --> 00:23:29,590
Blake.
553
00:23:29,659 --> 00:23:31,525
I understand
a 17-year-old's missing.
554
00:23:33,062 --> 00:23:34,862
That's important.
555
00:23:35,798 --> 00:23:37,565
Out on the street, boss.
556
00:23:48,478 --> 00:23:49,610
Where is he?
Where's my baby?
557
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:50,644
Tanya, what are you...?
558
00:23:50,713 --> 00:23:51,679
What'd you do with him?
559
00:23:51,747 --> 00:23:52,847
I don't know
what you mean.
560
00:23:52,915 --> 00:23:54,281
Ray's been missing
all afternoon.
561
00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:55,316
They say you watch him!
562
00:23:55,384 --> 00:23:56,350
Come on.
That ain't gonna help.
563
00:23:56,419 --> 00:23:57,551
T, I wouldn't
hurt your kid.
564
00:23:57,620 --> 00:23:58,552
How about
her kid's father?
565
00:23:58,621 --> 00:23:59,487
I believed you,
Billy.
566
00:23:59,555 --> 00:24:00,621
I was the one person
567
00:24:00,690 --> 00:24:02,623
who didn't think
you killed Herman.
568
00:24:02,692 --> 00:24:04,125
So keep believing.
569
00:24:04,193 --> 00:24:07,094
I wouldn't do anything
to hurt you.
570
00:24:10,766 --> 00:24:12,833
Not then,
571
00:24:12,902 --> 00:24:15,102
not now.
572
00:24:24,914 --> 00:24:26,714
How'd you find this place?
573
00:24:28,885 --> 00:24:30,951
Asked some old timers.
574
00:24:32,622 --> 00:24:34,922
I've put up
'bout a hundred jumpers,
575
00:24:34,991 --> 00:24:36,957
but didn't know
where the right spot was.
576
00:24:39,028 --> 00:24:40,027
What spot?
577
00:24:42,465 --> 00:24:44,298
Where he died.
578
00:24:46,469 --> 00:24:49,236
Do you know?
579
00:24:51,541 --> 00:24:53,674
The write-up said
on that free throw line.
580
00:25:08,457 --> 00:25:09,690
For Herman Lester.
581
00:25:16,532 --> 00:25:18,065
You make it look easy.
582
00:25:22,538 --> 00:25:24,638
I'm glad you're doing this.
583
00:25:24,707 --> 00:25:26,106
Finding out about my dad.
584
00:25:26,175 --> 00:25:27,141
Yeah?
585
00:25:27,210 --> 00:25:29,443
'Cause I never could.
586
00:25:29,512 --> 00:25:32,713
Asking her anything about him
brings her to her knees.
587
00:25:32,782 --> 00:25:34,882
Your mom.
588
00:25:34,951 --> 00:25:36,283
I never knew him,
589
00:25:36,352 --> 00:25:38,285
but that don't mean
590
00:25:38,354 --> 00:25:40,454
I don't want to hear about him
591
00:25:40,523 --> 00:25:42,957
or find out how come
he got killed.
592
00:25:45,861 --> 00:25:48,095
You gonna play tomorrow?
593
00:25:51,968 --> 00:25:55,603
Starting to think
that call I got
was no joke.
594
00:25:55,671 --> 00:25:58,839
No one'll blame you
if you sit the game out.
595
00:25:58,908 --> 00:26:01,442
Coach will.
596
00:26:01,510 --> 00:26:02,576
'Course, playing's
the last thing
597
00:26:02,645 --> 00:26:04,778
Freddie wants me to do.
598
00:26:04,847 --> 00:26:08,482
What's in it for him?
599
00:26:08,551 --> 00:26:11,018
Freddie got me connected
with all the shoe companies.
600
00:26:11,087 --> 00:26:15,155
I go League,
he gets taken care of.
601
00:26:15,224 --> 00:26:18,926
And you think
you owe Freddie.
602
00:26:18,995 --> 00:26:21,095
I owe Coach, too.
603
00:26:21,163 --> 00:26:22,863
What does he want
you to do?
604
00:26:22,932 --> 00:26:26,433
College. See,
there's two or three
schools that want me.
605
00:26:26,502 --> 00:26:28,636
I thought every school
wanted you.
606
00:26:28,704 --> 00:26:30,638
Yeah, but there's
two or three
607
00:26:30,706 --> 00:26:32,506
that want both me
and Coach.
608
00:26:32,575 --> 00:26:35,442
See, so if I sign
that letter of intent,
609
00:26:35,511 --> 00:26:37,778
Coach comes along,
part of a package deal.
610
00:26:37,847 --> 00:26:41,515
Mm-hmm.
611
00:26:41,584 --> 00:26:43,717
Turns out if Ray decides
to go to a certain college,
612
00:26:43,786 --> 00:26:46,220
Coach Lein benefits big.
613
00:26:46,289 --> 00:26:48,155
So is Coach aiming
to take the same ride
614
00:26:48,224 --> 00:26:49,523
on Herman's back
17 years ago?
615
00:26:49,592 --> 00:26:51,225
And how badly did he want it?
616
00:26:51,294 --> 00:26:53,060
Maybe the gambling angle
isn't the answer.
617
00:26:53,129 --> 00:26:55,963
Did Herman ever say
where he was going
to school?
618
00:26:56,032 --> 00:26:57,031
No one knew.
619
00:26:57,099 --> 00:26:58,766
There was a new rumor
every day:
620
00:26:58,834 --> 00:26:59,967
Kansas, Iowa, Duke...
621
00:27:00,036 --> 00:27:02,303
She'd probably know.
622
00:27:13,182 --> 00:27:14,214
Sorry, boss.
623
00:27:16,152 --> 00:27:18,352
Don't let this change
the investigation.
624
00:27:22,658 --> 00:27:25,559
Thank you for finding him.
625
00:27:25,628 --> 00:27:26,593
Sure.
626
00:27:26,662 --> 00:27:28,095
Tanya, had Herman made
627
00:27:28,164 --> 00:27:29,930
a decision about where
he was going to college?
628
00:27:29,999 --> 00:27:31,665
Temple.
629
00:27:31,734 --> 00:27:34,668
He was going to announce it
the next day.
630
00:27:34,737 --> 00:27:36,403
The Owls head coach
is John Chaney.
631
00:27:36,472 --> 00:27:37,805
He's always run
a clean program.
632
00:27:37,873 --> 00:27:39,206
He does not do "favors."
633
00:27:39,275 --> 00:27:40,741
RUSH:
So maybe Coach wanted
634
00:27:40,810 --> 00:27:42,710
Herman to go
somewhere else...
635
00:27:42,778 --> 00:27:44,178
where they did do "favors."
636
00:27:44,246 --> 00:27:48,382
Coach wanted him
down in Florida.
637
00:27:48,451 --> 00:27:50,384
(crowd cheering)
638
00:27:54,023 --> 00:27:55,389
LIEN:
Temple's not the place.
639
00:27:55,458 --> 00:27:57,458
HERMAN:
I've already made
up my mind, Coach.
640
00:27:57,526 --> 00:27:58,625
LIEN:
You'll end up at
the wrong program,
641
00:27:58,694 --> 00:27:59,793
you get lost
in the shuffle.
642
00:27:59,862 --> 00:28:00,961
Doesn't matter
how talented you are.
643
00:28:01,030 --> 00:28:02,763
Down in Florida,
I can look out for you.
644
00:28:02,832 --> 00:28:04,031
I got responsibilities here.
645
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:05,833
What do you mean?
Tanya's pregnant.
646
00:28:08,437 --> 00:28:11,271
Okay, so Tanya comes, too.
647
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:12,606
No, it's no good.
648
00:28:12,675 --> 00:28:14,074
What?
No!
649
00:28:14,143 --> 00:28:17,111
Damn it, Herman,
we need to stay together.
650
00:28:17,179 --> 00:28:18,545
This is my shot, too!
651
00:28:18,614 --> 00:28:20,414
Haven't I always
been there for you?
652
00:28:20,483 --> 00:28:22,783
( buzzer sounds )
653
00:28:30,993 --> 00:28:33,026
So, Coach finds out
things aren't going
654
00:28:33,095 --> 00:28:34,428
the way he wants them to.
655
00:28:34,497 --> 00:28:36,530
Six hours before Herman dies.
656
00:28:38,734 --> 00:28:41,135
The last 24 hours
we've been looking at you
657
00:28:41,203 --> 00:28:42,269
for Herman's murder.
658
00:28:42,338 --> 00:28:44,471
You kidding me?
659
00:28:46,108 --> 00:28:49,009
When Herman broke the news
that he was going to Temple,
660
00:28:49,078 --> 00:28:52,880
I know you had
a lot on the line.
661
00:28:52,948 --> 00:28:53,914
He was hurting your future.
662
00:28:53,983 --> 00:28:56,417
John, we're friends.
663
00:28:56,485 --> 00:28:58,051
We're going to
hear you out
664
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,653
one way or
another, Blake.
665
00:28:59,722 --> 00:29:05,025
It's better if you and I
do it here and now.
666
00:29:05,094 --> 00:29:06,093
Now, I know
667
00:29:06,162 --> 00:29:09,630
you got a deep drive.
668
00:29:09,698 --> 00:29:11,131
All of us got one somewhere,
669
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,168
and it will either make
you a winner,
670
00:29:14,236 --> 00:29:16,437
or take you down.
671
00:29:16,505 --> 00:29:19,940
I need you to make
a gut check here, pal.
672
00:29:25,714 --> 00:29:27,848
Me and Herman...
673
00:29:27,917 --> 00:29:31,385
we had a moment of truth.
674
00:29:37,460 --> 00:29:39,493
You been in here
the whole time?
675
00:29:39,562 --> 00:29:40,694
Yeah.
676
00:29:40,763 --> 00:29:43,864
Trying to wait me out
like I'd just go home?
677
00:29:45,401 --> 00:29:47,167
Don't you walk away from me.
678
00:29:47,236 --> 00:29:48,402
Hey!
679
00:29:49,438 --> 00:29:51,505
Coach!
680
00:29:51,574 --> 00:29:53,006
You think you can just go,
681
00:29:53,075 --> 00:29:55,008
after all
I've done for you?
682
00:30:04,086 --> 00:30:07,721
You won us a State
Championship tonight,
683
00:30:07,790 --> 00:30:10,123
I'm standing here
crying the blues.
684
00:30:13,295 --> 00:30:15,295
That's pretty piss poor.
685
00:30:18,801 --> 00:30:20,200
Good luck at Temple, son.
686
00:30:33,015 --> 00:30:35,849
I never saw Herman again.
687
00:30:49,398 --> 00:30:52,065
Prints from the City Center Rec
pay phone came in.
688
00:30:52,134 --> 00:30:53,534
Guess who we got a match on?
689
00:30:53,602 --> 00:30:55,636
Berkenpass?
690
00:30:55,704 --> 00:30:57,237
His father.
691
00:31:03,112 --> 00:31:03,977
What's the big deal?
692
00:31:04,046 --> 00:31:05,312
So, I made a call.
693
00:31:07,216 --> 00:31:09,016
Get off my property.
694
00:31:09,084 --> 00:31:10,350
Not just a call,
695
00:31:10,419 --> 00:31:12,185
a "terrorist threat."
696
00:31:12,254 --> 00:31:14,288
Come on.
No joke.
697
00:31:14,356 --> 00:31:16,123
So I were you,
I'd put that wood down.
698
00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:23,030
Why use the phone at the Rec?
699
00:31:23,098 --> 00:31:25,098
You and your son
dream that up together?
700
00:31:25,167 --> 00:31:26,934
My son didn't know
I was there.
701
00:31:27,002 --> 00:31:28,502
Noontime he was
in the gym.
702
00:31:28,571 --> 00:31:30,537
You telling me
you two didn't cross paths?
703
00:31:30,606 --> 00:31:32,139
We never do.
704
00:31:32,207 --> 00:31:33,941
We got no relationship.
705
00:31:34,009 --> 00:31:35,876
Why's that?
706
00:31:35,945 --> 00:31:38,011
( sighs )
707
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,547
Billy wasn't athletic--
708
00:31:40,616 --> 00:31:42,549
he had no foot speed
to talk about--
709
00:31:42,618 --> 00:31:44,318
so we made him a shooter.
710
00:31:44,386 --> 00:31:46,453
Developed the purest stroke
you'd ever want to see.
711
00:31:46,522 --> 00:31:47,721
It didn't happen overnight.
712
00:31:47,790 --> 00:31:49,389
I'd feed them and feed them
and feed them
713
00:31:49,458 --> 00:31:51,191
and there wasn't a night
that we left that gym
714
00:31:51,260 --> 00:31:52,726
without him hitting 15 in a row.
715
00:31:52,795 --> 00:31:56,296
What's that have to do with
you not having a relationship?
716
00:31:56,365 --> 00:31:57,531
( scoffs )
717
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,932
He quit on me.
718
00:32:00,936 --> 00:32:02,869
What, you don't tell
me what happened?
719
00:32:02,938 --> 00:32:04,137
You just let me
720
00:32:04,206 --> 00:32:05,872
show up at the game?!
721
00:32:05,941 --> 00:32:07,541
I was embarrassed.
722
00:32:07,610 --> 00:32:10,877
Son, if you would've told me,
I would've helped.
723
00:32:10,946 --> 00:32:12,746
But now it doesn't matter
if it's not true
724
00:32:12,815 --> 00:32:14,648
because the word's out,
you're a bad seed.
725
00:32:14,717 --> 00:32:16,650
I'm sorry.
726
00:32:16,719 --> 00:32:19,653
Up, up, up. Chin up.
727
00:32:19,722 --> 00:32:24,257
Listen, we may not get more
than a junior college offer,
728
00:32:24,326 --> 00:32:26,893
but two years,
we're right back on track.
729
00:32:26,962 --> 00:32:30,931
Dad, it's over! I'm done!
730
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,601
Don't let this
break your spirit.
731
00:32:34,670 --> 00:32:36,036
I'm not, Dad.
732
00:32:36,105 --> 00:32:39,072
I don't care about
being on track!
733
00:32:39,141 --> 00:32:42,075
I just want playing
ball to be fun again.
734
00:32:42,144 --> 00:32:44,544
Fun?
735
00:32:44,613 --> 00:32:47,848
Billy, you go home
736
00:32:47,916 --> 00:32:50,083
and you get your suitcase
737
00:32:50,152 --> 00:32:52,252
and when you're done
having fun
738
00:32:52,321 --> 00:32:55,389
and you come back
and you see me!
739
00:33:04,833 --> 00:33:07,267
Billy never plays
organized ball again,
740
00:33:07,336 --> 00:33:09,469
you draw a line
through his name?
741
00:33:09,538 --> 00:33:12,439
We do what we do.
742
00:33:12,508 --> 00:33:15,242
Now and then I'll go back
and watch him shoot at the Rec.
743
00:33:15,310 --> 00:33:17,210
Those are old wounds.
744
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:20,414
So why all of a sudden
make this call to Ray?
745
00:33:20,482 --> 00:33:21,815
Now, leaving the Rec that day,
746
00:33:21,884 --> 00:33:23,817
seeing Ray Lester's face
splattered all over
747
00:33:23,886 --> 00:33:26,186
like these people are
the First Family of Basketball
748
00:33:26,255 --> 00:33:27,988
or something, that nonsense
had to stop
749
00:33:28,057 --> 00:33:29,222
once and for all.
750
00:33:29,291 --> 00:33:31,958
We got to arrest you
for making that threat.
751
00:33:32,027 --> 00:33:33,827
Hey, for
crying out loud.
Come on.
752
00:33:33,896 --> 00:33:35,529
You got to come with us.
753
00:33:40,135 --> 00:33:43,070
Prints were in the system 'cause
of a bar brawl three years back.
754
00:33:43,138 --> 00:33:45,272
I talked to the guy
that got beat down by him.
755
00:33:45,340 --> 00:33:47,908
Said it all started 'cause
the barflies were talking
756
00:33:47,976 --> 00:33:49,743
about the late great
Herman Lester.
757
00:33:49,812 --> 00:33:51,945
14 years later and he's
still smarting over that?
758
00:33:52,014 --> 00:33:54,748
This guy's got deep
feelings about his son
not playing ball.
759
00:33:54,817 --> 00:33:56,583
Disowned him over it.
760
00:33:56,652 --> 00:33:58,085
Maybe killed over it.
761
00:33:58,153 --> 00:33:59,319
Problem is,
the Berkenpass
762
00:33:59,388 --> 00:34:01,054
alibi goes both ways.
763
00:34:01,123 --> 00:34:03,190
Covers Billy
but also covers the dad.
764
00:34:03,258 --> 00:34:05,125
Ah, Senior won't give it up.
765
00:34:05,194 --> 00:34:07,194
So work on Junior.
766
00:34:08,997 --> 00:34:11,198
RUSH:
We just need some last
questions answered,
767
00:34:11,266 --> 00:34:12,532
then we'll leave you alone.
768
00:34:12,601 --> 00:34:14,101
We got a new suspect, Billy.
769
00:34:14,169 --> 00:34:15,769
Good for you.
770
00:34:15,838 --> 00:34:17,471
Need the straight story
on your alibi.
771
00:34:17,539 --> 00:34:18,605
Straight story?
772
00:34:18,674 --> 00:34:19,773
You were in your car?
773
00:34:19,842 --> 00:34:21,408
Shooting hoops?
Doesn't matter,
774
00:34:21,477 --> 00:34:23,677
we just got to hear
where you really were.
775
00:34:24,613 --> 00:34:27,380
Watching TV with my dad.
776
00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:36,223
TEST TEST
777
00:34:39,128 --> 00:34:39,192
My dad?
778
00:34:41,864 --> 00:34:43,230
You surprised?
779
00:34:44,366 --> 00:34:45,599
'Cause you look surprised.
780
00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:48,401
But the funny thing is,
you look it and you don't.
781
00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:52,539
My guess is, you never knew
your dad killed Herman either.
782
00:34:52,608 --> 00:34:56,977
But right now in this moment...
783
00:34:57,045 --> 00:34:59,312
you do.
784
00:34:59,381 --> 00:35:02,516
'Cause you and dad never
watched TV that night.
785
00:35:02,584 --> 00:35:04,417
Can I just go now?
786
00:35:06,255 --> 00:35:07,921
RUSH:
Sure.
787
00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:09,689
We'll walk you out.
788
00:35:13,262 --> 00:35:15,595
Ray's just taking care
of some paperwork.
789
00:35:17,499 --> 00:35:19,332
Hey, you want to
meet him, Billy?
790
00:35:19,401 --> 00:35:21,001
BILLY:
No, thanks.
791
00:35:21,069 --> 00:35:22,235
Yeah, we keep arguing
792
00:35:22,304 --> 00:35:24,437
over whether he looks
like his pops or not.
793
00:35:24,506 --> 00:35:26,540
BILLY:
He does...
794
00:35:26,608 --> 00:35:27,541
a little.
795
00:35:27,609 --> 00:35:28,875
Yeah, but the difference is,
796
00:35:28,944 --> 00:35:30,443
Ray's walking away
from the game.
797
00:35:30,512 --> 00:35:32,012
W-Walking away?
798
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,014
Ray's mixed up about
how his dad died.
799
00:35:34,082 --> 00:35:35,982
Figures Herman made
a wrong decision
800
00:35:36,051 --> 00:35:37,784
and maybe that's
what killed him.
801
00:35:37,853 --> 00:35:38,919
Why's he think that?
802
00:35:38,987 --> 00:35:41,721
He didn't know anything
about his dad.
803
00:35:41,790 --> 00:35:44,424
VALENS:
Looks like another Lester
won't reach his potential.
804
00:35:47,396 --> 00:35:50,330
Maybe I-I will say hi to him.
805
00:35:51,767 --> 00:35:52,699
Sure.
806
00:35:52,768 --> 00:35:54,167
( replaces phone receiver )
807
00:36:09,451 --> 00:36:11,151
Hey, kid.
808
00:36:20,629 --> 00:36:22,662
I want to tell you
something about him.
809
00:36:24,867 --> 00:36:26,600
And that night.
810
00:36:28,203 --> 00:36:31,538
I wasn't at home with my dad.
811
00:36:33,809 --> 00:36:36,543
I-I was with Herman.
812
00:36:40,048 --> 00:36:41,948
Got to hand it to you.
813
00:36:42,017 --> 00:36:43,917
Only Herman Lester
can play ball that bad
814
00:36:43,986 --> 00:36:46,286
and still get carried
off the court like a king.
815
00:36:46,355 --> 00:36:47,954
Final score's
all that counts.
816
00:36:48,023 --> 00:36:49,189
Keep telling
yourself that.
817
00:36:49,258 --> 00:36:51,091
You think I tried to throw
the game tonight?
818
00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:52,158
Yeah, I do.
819
00:36:52,227 --> 00:36:53,260
You're wrong.
820
00:36:53,328 --> 00:36:55,228
Then why did you play
like a buster?
821
00:36:57,232 --> 00:36:59,299
( sighs )
822
00:36:59,368 --> 00:37:01,701
You.
823
00:37:01,770 --> 00:37:03,803
What?
824
00:37:03,872 --> 00:37:08,174
Everybody thinks
I'm this one-man show.
825
00:37:08,243 --> 00:37:11,044
But it's you that gets me
the ball in the paint.
826
00:37:11,113 --> 00:37:13,179
When I'm
double-teamed,
827
00:37:13,248 --> 00:37:16,316
you always hit the J.
828
00:37:16,385 --> 00:37:18,351
But you weren't there tonight.
829
00:37:20,255 --> 00:37:21,721
Billy...
830
00:37:21,790 --> 00:37:24,257
we haven't been friends...
831
00:37:24,326 --> 00:37:26,660
but we've been a team, right?
832
00:37:34,803 --> 00:37:37,570
Your dad was stand-up.
833
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:39,906
There was all this junk
834
00:37:39,975 --> 00:37:42,108
around us, everyone trying
to make us enemies.
835
00:37:43,812 --> 00:37:47,414
But he-he just followed
his instincts...
836
00:37:47,482 --> 00:37:49,115
and they were good.
837
00:37:51,586 --> 00:37:54,454
The man was good.
838
00:38:09,604 --> 00:38:11,805
We talked to your boy Billy,
Mr. Berkenpass.
839
00:38:11,873 --> 00:38:13,139
He burned your alibi.
840
00:38:13,208 --> 00:38:16,176
Why would
he do that?
841
00:38:16,244 --> 00:38:19,612
'Cause he didn't kill
Herman Lester.
842
00:38:19,681 --> 00:38:21,214
You did.
843
00:38:23,485 --> 00:38:25,485
Billy said that?
844
00:38:27,489 --> 00:38:29,489
Want us to bring him in here?
845
00:38:32,127 --> 00:38:33,460
No.
846
00:38:39,134 --> 00:38:43,503
It was always awkward
for Billy and me.
847
00:38:43,572 --> 00:38:48,408
Basketball was the way
that I could be his dad, see?
848
00:38:48,477 --> 00:38:51,578
That was our whole relationship.
849
00:38:51,646 --> 00:38:55,849
That night when I told
Billy to pack his bags, I...
850
00:38:58,587 --> 00:39:00,520
...I wanted to take it back.
851
00:39:00,589 --> 00:39:02,789
Why didn't you?
852
00:39:02,858 --> 00:39:05,658
I followed after him.
853
00:39:05,727 --> 00:39:08,795
Wound up at Player's Park...
854
00:39:08,864 --> 00:39:11,498
and I watched Herman and Billy.
855
00:39:13,368 --> 00:39:15,368
I watched them shaking hands.
856
00:39:20,575 --> 00:39:22,509
That wasn't a good thing?
857
00:39:22,577 --> 00:39:24,577
That was him giving up.
858
00:39:26,348 --> 00:39:27,914
( sniffles )
859
00:39:27,983 --> 00:39:31,584
I knew that he wasn't
gonna play again.
860
00:39:31,653 --> 00:39:35,188
That was the end of one thing
that we had in common.
861
00:40:04,753 --> 00:40:06,686
Oh, uh, hey, Mr. B.
862
00:40:06,755 --> 00:40:08,822
You're looking for Billy,
you just missed him.
863
00:40:08,890 --> 00:40:11,324
Yeah.
864
00:40:11,393 --> 00:40:13,827
Think he said
he was headed home.
865
00:40:13,895 --> 00:40:16,563
Then I guess I'll
see him there, then.
866
00:40:18,366 --> 00:40:19,632
Are you okay, sir?
867
00:40:19,701 --> 00:40:22,869
You, uh... look a little off.
868
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,573
Good game tonight.
869
00:40:27,576 --> 00:40:28,541
( stabbing )
870
00:40:29,544 --> 00:40:31,344
( groaning )
871
00:40:31,413 --> 00:40:32,345
( retrieves weapon )
872
00:40:32,414 --> 00:40:33,746
( sharp groan )
873
00:40:35,183 --> 00:40:36,716
( groaning )
874
00:40:36,785 --> 00:40:38,785
( breathing heavily )
875
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:03,209
� I remember how rough
your hand felt on my mine �
876
00:41:03,278 --> 00:41:07,580
� On my wedding day �
877
00:41:07,649 --> 00:41:11,251
� And the tears cried
on my shoulder
878
00:41:11,319 --> 00:41:17,123
� I couldn't turn away �
879
00:41:17,192 --> 00:41:21,628
� Well, so much
has happened to me �
880
00:41:21,696 --> 00:41:24,430
� That I don't understand �
881
00:41:24,499 --> 00:41:26,833
� All I can think of is being �
882
00:41:26,902 --> 00:41:29,068
� Five years old
and falling behind you �
883
00:41:29,137 --> 00:41:34,407
� At the beach, tracing
your footprints in the sand �
884
00:41:34,476 --> 00:41:37,644
� Trying to walk like a man �
885
00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:48,555
� By Our Lady Of The Roses �
886
00:41:48,623 --> 00:41:53,560
� We lived in the shadow
of the elms �
887
00:41:53,628 --> 00:41:55,728
� I remember Ma dragging me �
888
00:41:55,797 --> 00:41:58,431
� And my sister up the street
to the church �
889
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:03,236
� Whenever she heard
those wedding bells �
890
00:42:03,305 --> 00:42:07,540
� Well, would they ever
look so happy again �
891
00:42:07,609 --> 00:42:12,111
� The handsome groom
and his bride? �
892
00:42:12,180 --> 00:42:16,950
ANNOUNCER:
And, finally, starting at guard,
six-one and a senior,
893
00:42:17,018 --> 00:42:21,187
Ray "The Second Coming" Lester!
894
00:42:22,791 --> 00:42:26,926
� Well, tonight you
step away from me �
895
00:42:26,995 --> 00:42:32,932
� And alone at the altar
I stand �
896
00:42:33,001 --> 00:42:35,301
� As I watch my bride
coming down the aisle �
897
00:42:35,370 --> 00:42:38,137
� I pray for the strength �
898
00:42:38,206 --> 00:42:40,940
� To walk like a man �
899
00:42:48,083 --> 00:42:53,586
� Well, now the years have gone
and I've grown �
900
00:42:53,655 --> 00:42:57,457
� From that seed you've sown �
901
00:42:57,525 --> 00:43:02,729
� But I didn't think
there'd be so many steps �
902
00:43:02,797 --> 00:43:06,599
� I'd have to learn on own �
903
00:43:06,668 --> 00:43:11,871
� Well, I was young
and I didn't know what to do �
904
00:43:11,940 --> 00:43:15,808
� When I saw your best steps
stolen away from you �
905
00:43:15,877 --> 00:43:20,313
� Now I'll do what I can �
906
00:43:20,382 --> 00:43:23,149
� I'll walk like a man... �
907
00:43:23,218 --> 00:43:27,220
