Previously on The Slap...
(Harry) Everyone I know wants to be rich and powerful,
and Hector wants to be good.
Connie, this thing we've been doing, it's got to stop.
Happy birthday, darling.
What do you think? Does my son need to start
- preparing for the horrors of adult life now? - It's never too early to start losing your soul.
- I hate it here, I hate it! - Hey, hey.
This is the last moment we can suck up before you become deputy commish.
I didn't get the job.
We are taking you all to Greece!
They gave us a trip to Greece. Don't you know what that means to them?
Who books tickets for a trip without checking the dates first?
People like to spend time with their families, Gary.
I'm not entirely sure what your problem is with me.
- No one has a problem with anyone. - Maybe it's because he's rich.
Hey, Gary. Maybe Hugo shouldn't be swinging the bat like that.
Three strikes, you're out.
Hugo! Put down the bat!
Why are you swinging the bat at Rocco like that?
He hit a kid.
- It's against the law. - What have you done?
- You hit my child! - Your son was out of control!
I'm gonna sue that bastard. I'm gonna put that maniac away.
(Male narrator) Harry Apostolou knew one thing in life.
that his anger was a form of energy,
and it had served him well.
Except for the rare occasions when it hadn't.
On those rare occasions, it had surged unexpectedly,
overtaking reason and proportion.
And when that happened,
Harry knew that he had to find some way to step back
and regain a kind of control.
(Whispering) Don't even think about getting out of this bed.
(Narrator) Harry was the first person in his family to have become rich.
And he had issued decrees proclaiming his wealth
in the form of a world of clean spaces,
which reminded him of his late parents' bleached island village back in Greece,
except with central air.
Hey, Roc, your mom made you a smoothie.
I'll be up in a minute. I'm just playing some kid in Utah.
- Who's winning, you or Utah? - Utah.
- You want me to forfeit? - Never.
All right.
You know who the original owner was, right? Roger Moore.
The best Bond.
Send Mehmet to my office.
- So do you get it? - I have a confession to make.
There is no reason to learn quadratic equations, trust me.
- Melissa! - Coming!
Take this. Put it in your backpack.
I made you lunch.
Nice sandwich. Put it in your backpack, okay?
Okay. Thanks, Dad.
Come on, guys. Let's go, let's go.
What is this? This is pure sugar.
Why are we giving our kids crack?
I didn't buy it.
- All right. - Let's go, let's go.
- We're an inch away from being late. - Where'd you get this?
Birthday gift. Go, go, go!
Kids are gonna give me PTSD.
Wow. This is really cool.
- Who gave it to you? - Connie. It's nice, isn't it?
Ah. That's very expensive.
- Clearly I'm paying her too much. - Hey, Dad.
Oh, homework, homework. Yep.
- Hector Apostolou? - Yeah?
I'm Officer Forester, NYPD.
This is my partner, Officer Mulrooney.
What's up, boss?
Something wrong?
Says here the '74 Bavaria, the one you bought for parts
is listed at $2200 bucks.
Why did you invoice it for $4400?
You're stealing from me.
- No, boss, you got it all wrong. - Hey.
My wife does the books, Mehmet, so what?
Is it drugs? Is that it?
No, man. It's my brother. He needed it...
What? He needed to...?
Don't even bother explaining. Whatever it is...
- It's a bad way to live. - I'm sorry.
I'm going to pay you back, I promise. Every cent.
I'm not going to fire you, yet.
In fact, you're going to work for me, every day, for free.
Till you pay me back what you owe me.
And you're going to apologize to my wife.
[Phone rings] Harry, your cousin Hector's on the phone.
Get the hell out of my office.
[Beep]
What do you want, cuz, a new car?
I got a '71 Mercedes 280 for $122k.
You could pay it off over the rest of your career.
Harry, listen. The cops came by.
- What are you talking about? - The barbecue.
- What happened. - All right. Go on.
They say I'm their best witness.
- Best witness for what? - You know, in court.
No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not going to go to court.
They're just asking questions, is all.
Well, if it goes to court, then...
I... I might have to testify.
And what are you going to say if it goes to court?
What do you mean?
What did you see?
What were you looking at?
Let me get a couple of things straight here.
Can you please not take this personally, Harry?
My own cousin
has taken the side of these Brooklyn booze bags,
and I'm not supposed to take it personally?
What if the situation was reversed?
I would do whatever it took for you, Hector.
[Scoffs]
Yeah, I've got to go.
I can't do this with you.
[Clears throat] What?
I'm gonna pay you back, boss.
It's a start.
[Upbeat jazz music]
Sync, corrected by icephoenix www.addic7ed.com
(Jay) This is how you get free advice from me
instead of booking me for an hour.
How real is this, Jay?
It's a junk case, but there is a guy
that got five years for smacking a little kid
on an airplane last year.
It's still... You know what? It's junk.
'Cause you acted in defense of another.
He was gonna strike my child, exactly.
Let's just say that this junk were to wind up
on some poor schlub of a judge's docket,
which would be science fiction.
"Your Honor, my client is an exemplary father,
"husband, businessman, bastion of the community,"
"who on the occasion in question was simply availing himself
"to protecting that which he values most in this world,
his family," blah, blah, blah.
Harry, 2 minutes before you walk in there,
the judge will have just seen a two-year-old
with his skull crushed in by some drug-crazed,
crack-whore mother of his, who turns out to be 17
- and is having sex with... - Whoa, stop, stop.
What happens if I were found guilty?
It's probably community service, all right?
You walk around downtown Brooklyn picking up garbage.
You wander through the children's museum
in a unitard and a hat, "Don't do drugs."
I don't know. It's not gonna happen.
This is not how this works.
My fellow one-percenter, listen,
you just stick to what it is that you do best, okay?
You find me a Porsche, 1983 911SC,
something like the Brat Pack used to use.
You know, I'm thinking something orange,
something Californian, something slutty,
you know.
Listen, you want coffee? You want dessert?
Listen, Harry, I'm gonna need a list of witnesses
that you can count on,
witnesses that are outside of the bloodlines,
because the judge is going to disregard anything
that you or your cousin's family has to say,
because no offense, you're a big Greek tribe
that would kill to protect one of your own.
So who else is there?
Who is going to stick up for you,
someone who is not in your family?
See, I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking you shouldn't have been such a prick
to everyone your whole life.
(Lee) Yeah, I... I see her now and then.
But, you know, it's nothing, okay?
I love you. I'm gonna end it with her.
This is the 19th lie in 6 minutes.
I can't even do the division on that lie.
It's so sick.
When I picture the two of you, I get sick.
Yeah, well, I'm not the one who went on
a six-day juice cleanse and then felt the need
to tell everyone she knew how much they disgusted her.
Okay, and cut.
Good, good.
- You happy? - Yeah, check it.
Let's turn around. Good. Good job.
You want some coffee?
Sure.
Hey, listen, Anouk, thanks for making time for me.
Well, you got me curious.
What is it?
You know you can cut to the chase with me, Harry.
Yeah, I always liked that about you.
So... All right, the point, look,
this whole thing with the barbecue,
this slap thing...
Mm, I though that would be it.
My lawyer says I need witnesses that aren't part of the family
to testify that I was protecting my son if it went to court.
Listen, that boy was being a little monster.
He's getting worse and worse.
Someone should have smacked him before this.
Yeah, then say that.
Someone maybe, the boy's parents,
but not you.
[Scoffs]
Listen, Harry, you come from a place
where men can get away with whatever they want,
but the world has changed.
And they're going to come after you, believe me.
Oh, don't be so dramatic.
I need a couple... I need one, one sane,
rational person to testify that I was...
I'm not gonna get involved with this case.
Yeah, I get it.
This guy came in last week, sold me his Triumph.
I don't think he knew what he had.
Harry, are you offering me a car so I'll say what you want?
[Laughs] Priceless. I mean...
Oh, come on. It's a great car.
It's a little green convertible number.
You and your teenage boyfriend could zip around town in it.
It's amazing. Come on.
Look, as far as the slap, I didn't see it.
How could you not have?
My attention was elsewhere.
Where?
I was taking in the entire freaky tableau.
Anouk, what they're trying to do to me is just wrong,
and you know it.
I can't help you.
I'm sorry.
Look, Harry, I like you.
I like drinking with you.
I like listening to your insane ideas about stuff.
But Rosie is my friend,
and I walk carefully around her.
She's fragile, she's haunted,
and this has become her new cause.
(Mulrooney) So here's where it stands:
we've seen Mr. Apostolou and his wife.
(Rosie) Of course, thank you.
Yes, so the alleged slap has been...
Mommy, can I play my game?
- Sure. - Thanks. Love you.
I love you, baby.
This is nice tea.
I like the smoky flavor.
May I ask what it is?
Yeah, it's Russian Caravan.
You want a couple bags to take home to your...
No, thanks.
I'll tell my wife. She'd like it.
So you have enough to press charges?
(Mulrooney) We're still determining that.
It's not clear just yet exactly.
(Forester) Why didn't you go to the police right away?
Well, we wanted to get our son home.
It was... It was a very shocking experience.
It took us till the next morning to catch our breath.
- We weren't ourselves. - It was like a bad dream.
Yeah, the first thought was just to get away from him.
So you wanted to wait a couple days till your head cleared.
Okay, I get that, but, I mean...
Why didn't you take your son to get examined by a doctor?
- Dr. Cole... - She looked at him there.
She checked him, but he's still...
Well, are you folks seeing any residual signs of damage?
- Like a bruise? - No, no, no, no.
There was a mark, a big, red mark.
(Mulrooney) For how long?
It would have been helpful to have a medical report.
There was a red mark, at first very bright.
Or if you had taken a picture of his face
after he had been slapped to show the mark.
You don't have that.
I didn't know we had to.
There were people who saw it.
Look, what kind of charges could there be for Mr. Apostolou?
If we get there... If we do, it's just...
Oh, that's up to the D.A.,
but it could be assault with intent to harm a minor.
Aggravated, you mean.
(Forester) It's hard to prove, but, I mean, there's a threshold.
But it is serious.
(Mulrooney) Yeah, even if it is a misdemeanor,
he could face time.
- But can I be frank? - Yes.
These cases are hard to prosecute.
I mean, you need to have a lot of factors in your favor here.
Are you... Are you telling us we should just let this go?
I'm just saying that sometimes
the court isn't how you get what you want.
I mean, it's a long, messy bureaucracy,
paperwork, and probably your son being interviewed.
(Mulrooney) I don't even know if the D.A.'s office wants to take this on.
If... If there was more than just one incident...
Yeah.
[Knocks]
Do you have a sec?
Sure.
Is everything okay?
Um... The thing is,
I think I'm doing too much,
and with the essays in school,
I don't think I can work here anymore.
Are we giving you too many hours?
- If that's... - No, no, that's not it.
I really can't... I just...
With the college applications
and the scholarship recommendations,
it's really too much.
I...
I see.
Oh, God.
Well, could...
You'll give me enough time to find a replacement?
Of course.
I'm really sorry.
You would tell me if there was anything else, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Can you still babysit?
I don't want to lose you entirely, darling.
Oh.
Oh, it's a shame.
Okay, let's get you back to work.
[Whistle blows]
(Boy) Take that, Dolan. Take that.
- Got to get that. - Come on, Tyler. Come on.
[Whistle blows]
(Sandi) Whoo!
(Boy) Yo, Max.
Max.
Max, Max, Max, Max.
(Harry) All right, let's hustle.
Get over there, Rocco.
Let's go!
That's it. That's it. That's it.
Take the shot, Rocco.
(Bryce) Rocco, Rocco, pass, Rocco.
(Harry) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rocco, take the shot.
(Bryce) Pass it.
Rock, I'm open. Pass, Rocco.
(Harry) Take the shot.
He could have made that. What's wrong with him?
- It's teamwork. - Harry, relax.
He's finding his way.
The kids don't respect him.
(Koula) We love you, Rocco!
Rocco. Whoo!
[Knocks]
- Rocco. - Come in.
Hey.
Hey.
I just came to say good night.
All right.
Your team had a good night.
We won.
[Laughs] That's good.
So what did I do wrong?
I want you to think about something, okay?
Life is about taking the shot.
You had the shot.
You passed to that other kid.
He got the glory.
You had the shot. You just didn't take it.
But it's supposed to be about teamwork, Dad.
- Our coach keeps telling us... - Yeah, it is.
And it kind of isn't too.
It's also about going for it, see?
At some point, you got to decide
what kind of person you're gonna be.
What do you mean?
Well, there's a difference between being
on the winning team and actually winning.
I want you to win.
I want you to be the one who takes his shot and kills it,
Really kills it, and one day...
You're gonna teach your kids how to kill it too, yeah?
Yeah.
[Laughs]
Good night, champ.
Good night, Dad.
(Sandi) It's just been so blissfully long
since we've done something like this.
Not long enough...
If we put it to bed now, it would become...
Hey, what are you doing here?
Just... Let's talk.
All right, let's go outside.
All right.
You don't usually show up unannounced.
(Hector) Oh, I thought about what you said.
(Harry) Yeah?
And I know you would do anything for me no matter what,
and I think you're right.
Family is everything.
It's... It's all we got.
Yeah, I mean, you're more of a brother to me than a cousin.
- You know that. - Yeah.
And, I mean, you know, lawyers isn't the thing to...
Lawyers?
How did you know I talked to a lawyer, huh?
All I'm saying is, there's another way,
and I talked to Aisha too about what you said.
You talked to Aisha?
Yeah, we talked.
And?
Well, listen to me. Here's the thing.
She and I both think there's an opening.
An opening for what?
Listen, Harry. You do not want to go to trial.
I know I don't.
But that kid was swinging a bat at Rocco.
And Jay Goldman says I'll win. It's a walk.
I think... We think... That there's a better way.
Of what?
Talk to them.
And say what?
Apologize.
Are you kidding me?
I should apologize?
Fully. I'll arrange a meeting.
I'll go with you, and I'll prepare them for what to expect.
And I'll tell them that you are prepared to tell them anything...
Apologize?
What about the fact that they need to apologize too, Hector?
- Stop. Stop. - They were drunk. I'm not...
For God's sake, shut up.
Harry, you cannot win this war.
Your own temper will... You...
Go to trial.
What if you do a Harry,
and you're head explodes on the stand?
Am I going insane here?
Don't you want this over,
so we can all get on with our lives, go to Greece,
have that great trip, no tension?
This is not good for the family.
Everybody's worried, man, you know?
You get it?
Let's fix it, okay?
I don't know.
These are not honorable people, man.
They don't seem like the kind of people who...
You hardly know them.
What's happening to this country?
The weak suing the strong for being strong,
the victims always finding an angle.
Guys like me, what chance do we have?
(Hector) I... I don't want to talk about
the state of the nation with you.
I want to get you out of this.
Look, okay,
if I can convince a Manhattan developer
to put aside a few floors of low-cost housing
in his golden tower on the Hudson,
I can probably convince Rosie and Gary Weshler
to accept your apology.
Harry, you don't have to mean it.
Just make them feel like you respect them.
So Hector thinks I should go apologize.
You good with that?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, the one thing is that he knew
that I saw a lawyer.
I never told him that, so what?
Are you talking behind my back?
- No, I... - No, come on. Tell me.
What, you called him up and started talking about
how worried you are?
- It wasn't like that. - Oh, how was it?
Harry, just stop, okay?
Tell me how it was.
All of you working the phones talking about me?
Don't take out your...
What? What? What? Tell me. What, my anger?
That I'm cornered by these people?
Stop. For God's sake. You can't do this alone.
Hector thought he could nip it in the...
If you want me to apologize, you tell me yourself.
And you would listen to me? Really? Would you?
Hey, hey, don't walk away from me, huh?
Listen to me.
If I wanted my cousin coming over here to advise me,
I'd call him myself.
Rocco.
Rocco.
What's wrong, love?
Dad's cooking.
(Hector) I hear that.
You got a problem with my cooking?
- Glass of wine? - Oh, no, thanks.
You okay?
Yeah.
Well, no.
Connie handed in her notice yesterday.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, she said she'd wait till I find a replacement, but...
Did she say what's up?
Yeah, that she's really stressed-out
with applying to colleges, writing essays,
but most of the applications are in already, so...
you know, she's just... I don't know.
Could be it's just one thing too many.
Mm, she's been... Since the party...
Kind of skittish and on edge and...
It's like she's avoiding me all the time.
But still, this was totally out of the blue.
Hmm.
Well, I wouldn't read too much into it.
It's being 18.
Probably like she says, it's just one thing too many.
Yeah, yeah, you're probably right.
But I did make her promise not to quit babysitting.
Great.
Hey.
All right, let's do this.
How you doing?
I'm fine. I'm good.
I'm make this go away. I'll close the deal.
This is not selling.
Everyone you love is watching you.
I realize that.
[Exhales]
Well, thanks for seeing me.
I didn't want to see you.
[Sighs]
How are you, Hector?
Okay, thanks.
[Clears throat]
So Harry has something he wants to say,
but first, listen,
Aisha and me, we just appreciate
that you're open to resolving this
before it goes any further.
(Harry) Yeah, and Sandi and I feel the same way.
And we're really grateful for the chance to...
Rosie, Gary, I let...
And Hugo.
You say it to him.
And Hugo, yes.
Hugo, do you remember this man?
He's the bad man who hit me.
He's gonna go to jail.
You know what, Hugo?
People should never ever let their feelings
get out of control.
Yeah, for example, when you were struck out in the game, yeah,
normally that's when another player is allowed to...
(Gary) Harry, I explained the rules to him.
- You don't have to. - Yeah, that's not your place.
I don't think Harry is trying...
Let him speak for himself.
I had no right to hit you, Hugo.
- No, you didn't. - No, no.
Nobody has the right to hit someone else's child.
We don't believe that anybody has the right to hit a child.
Rosie, please, let him speak.
The situation got the best of me,
and I was overreacting, and I deeply regret it.
Well, that's great.
But that's not an apology, is it?
The two words I didn't hear are, "I'm sorry."
Did I miss those two little words?
I'm sorry.
I am...sorry.
And any cost you've incurred, of course, I'll cover.
Cost?
But the cost can't be calculated,
the emotional cost.
I mean, this is how people get scarred for life.
For life?
[Laughs]
I get it now.
This is a shakedown, huh?
What the hell does that mean?
(Harry) A shakedown,
as in now you have someone to pay for the shrink your son
should have been seeing for the last three years.
You actually think this is about money?
- Is that what you think? - Isn't it?
This thing he thinks is about money?
We've gotten off the track.
He thinks this sort of thing doesn't do damage to my son?
- Rosie, just stop, stop. - Do you hit your son, Harry?
- What did you say to me? - Rosie, Rosie...
- No, he hits kids. - Are you crazy?
This has nothing to do with you, Hector.
It has everything to do with me. It was my house.
But it happened to my kid!
- What am I doing here? - Nothing to do with you.
Listen to this slander, Hector. Why am I here?
Do you hit your wife?
- Do you hit her? - Rosie.
God, I hope she sees who you are.
I hope this wakes her up and she sees
what a sexist, disgusting...
Mama!
Mama!
Gary, call the police.
Gary, call the cops or I will!
(Hugo) Mama!
You can wait for the cops outside, you animal.
My baby.
Arrogant, sick, sick, sick people.
- I know. - You can't reason. You can't...
- I tried. You saw. - I'm sorry. It went bad.
- That was a trap. - It went bad.
I walked into an ambush.
- Look, maybe... - Oh, oh, it went bad?
Maybe just Gary and us, we could...
How did I let you talk me into this, huh?
- What? - What am I doing?
Listening to my mild-mannered...
You know why you're not doing better?
You know why you're stuck in some Deputy-ass Assistant...
Oh, Harry, stop.
It's because you think things get resolved by talking.
Nothing gets resolved by talking!
Okay.
I should never had let you put me in this situation.
[Tires squealing]
[Cell phone chimes]
_
[Whistle blows]
All right, guys, bring it in. Come on, guys.
Bring it in. Bring it in. All right, hustle, hustle.
All right, all right, all right, all right.
Great, great practice, men.
It's all working for us now, because we're playing as a team.
And when you play together...
(All) You win together.
That's right.
On three, "team." One, two, three.
(All) Team.
Now beat it. Get out of here.
Hey, Bryce.
- Yeah. - You never pass to me.
What are you talking about?
Well, I pass to you all the time,
and I was just wondering if maybe next time I'm open,
you could let me have a shot.
Rocco, I would, but we're 6 and 0.
I don't want to risk that.
Argh!
(Melody) Wow.
What are you doing here, Harry? I was about to close up.
I came to check up on you on the off chance you made a sale.
[Melody laughs] Off chance?
Listen, big cat.
I sold that Lamborghini to the guy from Tuxedo Park last week.
Last week is over, thank God.
Yeah, but the soccer player.
Oh, Vuyovich.
Just bought the Jag.
Boom.
So what did we get?
$114,000.
Oh.
[Laughs] Which is my lucky number.
You gonna write me that commission check now?
No advances, honey.
This is a cold, hard cash business.
[Cell phone buzzing]
_
(Harry) So, now, wait, what happened?
Okay, no, no, no. No, I'll meet you there.
Sandi... Sandi, stop. I'll meet you there.
I'm... I'm at the office. I'm leaving now.
Sandi, I'll meet you there.
- Never had a problem. - Oh, thank you.
Hey, listen, I'm sorry.
Mr. Apostolou, we met.
- Mike Roland. - Is my boy okay?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Yeah, he's okay, but my hands are tied here.
Oh?
I was telling Miss Apostolou he just jumped the kid.
- We don't... - We understand.
We have zero tolerance for fighting on this team.
It's... You know,
Rocco understands he's off the team for the rest of the season.
Maybe we give him another chance?
I wish I could, but that would be wrong.
We are very serious here about good sportsmanship
and good citizenship.
We know. It's why we moved here, the school.
How's the other kid?
I mean, let's put it this way, in that fight,
Bryce was a gentleman.
It could have been a lot worse.
Okay, yeah, well, we'll have a discussion.
Frankly, it's totally out of character.
I know.
Rocco, let's go.
You want to get some ribs in the Village?
No, Harry. Let's just go home.
Okay, hey, I'm gonna take Rocco.
Okay.
See you at home.
See ya.
Bye.
Dad, look,
I just felt like I had to stand up for myself and be a man.
Please, don't be mad.
Look, I know...
I'm not always the best example.
So the only thing I can ask is that you think
before you act, okay?
All right.
That's something both of us can work on.
Yeah.
Take your bag.
It's gonna be a hell of a shiner.
Yeah, I guess.
(Harry) Hey, Rocco.
Yeah, yeah, go inside, okay?
- What? - Rocco, go inside now.
But, Dad...
Can I help you, officers?
- Harry Apostolou? - Yeah.
Mr. Apostolou, Rosie and Gary Weshler
filed a charge against you.
There was an incident at their home today.
Yeah, I went over there. I was invited over there.
I was trying to apologize to them.
Well, the complaint claims that there was an attack.
[Laughs] Oh, my God.
An attack?
Look, Mr. Apostolou, we have a warrant.
You have to come with us.
Sandi, please go inside and call Jay Goldman.
Have him go to the Brooklyn Criminal Court, right?
And call Hector.
Have him meet us there and post bail.
I can do that. I can bail...
I would like for you to stay with Rocco.
I'll be back later tonight.
(Mulrooney) I have to cuff you, Mr. Apostolou.
It's just the way it is.
(Forester) Just go with it, sir. We'll read you your rights.
You'll post bail, but it is what it is.
We should all make this easy on each other, all right?
Everything's gonna be okay. I promise.
I'm sorry.
Really.
I'm sorry, Sandi.
I wanted to be a cop once.
Everybody did.
You might not have passed the psychological.
[Scoffs]
I should probably be quiet.
[Jazzy saxophone music]
Hector.
Hey, honey.
Mm?
Listen, Sandi just called.
Harry's on his way to Brooklyn Criminal Court.
He was arrested.
He wants you to go there, meet him, post bail.
[Groans]
There it is.
(Man) Left hand, no thumb.
Right at me.
Now to the right.
[Elevator bell dings]
(Man) Docket number 180-425-C-1451.
People versus Harry Apostolou.
(Man) Does the defendant waive the reading?
(Man) Of course.
- Notices. - 19050.
(Man) Cross 19050.
(Man) Any statement with regard to bail?
(Man) Two things: Assault and battery of a child
less than 10 years old in which the defendant
struck a five-year-old across the face
at a party on the 13th of September
and then subsequently menaced... That is today, Your Honor...
The family of the child at their home
throwing a chair at the mother,
a chair which was thrown against the wall.
It broken into pieces.
Both sets of charges are stacked,
also a restraining order for the family involved here as well.
Got it, hits a kid, goes over there to what,
talk to them about it?
So then that goes sideways, so,
of course, he breaks a chair.
That it?
For the defense.
Your Honor, first of all, he did not throw the chair.
He kicked it.
It was an old chair, rickety.
It was wobbling.
He didn't launch it like a projectile.
And as to the child assault charges,
Your Honor, the complainant's child
was waving a baseball bat at his son.
He was taking it away whilst this child continued
to swing it repeatedly at his own son's head.
He didn't batter anybody, Your Honor.
I'd like to request a release.
The defendant is a family man.
He's a respected business owner, the Cambridge Carriage Company,
a highly regarded dealer in rare vehicles.
He is no criminal.
He has major ties to the community.
This asshole came into my house...
- Your Honor... - Came into my house.
Instruct this man to shut up.
- Hey. - This isn't a trial.
You don't talk.
You're the complainant, I assume.
This is an arraignment. It's not a trial.
Although sometimes I wish it were a trial.
Now, we're gonna get through this
without any more outbursts, right?
Thank you, Your Honor.
About the defendant, as I was saying, his cousin,
who is here in the court for him,
is the chief of staff
for the New York City Planning Commission.
Another civil servant.
You have my sympathies, sir.
Bail set at $2,500.
I'm assuming the civil service cousin will cover that.
An order of protection is hereby issued for the Weshler family.
Mr. Apostolou...
Mr. Apostolou...
You gonna go to Rio?
You gonna fly the coop on us?
Well, not until my son is safely in college, Your Honor.
Well, I know that day can't come soon enough for me.
You should be out of here in a little while.
Stay out of trouble, Mr. Apostolou.
- Thank you, Your Honor. - What's next?
(Man) Docket number 180-452-C-2-2.
[Radiohead's Reckoner]
(Man) Reckoner
Ah, ah
_
You can't take it with you
(Harry) You waited.
You all right? [Scoffs]
I'm more than all right, cuz. I'm good.
What do you mean?
Well, I tried, didn't I? I tried to make peace.
That didn't work.
They want a fight, they got a fight,
but now we're doing it on my terms.
I'm gonna destroy them.
Dancing for
Your pleasure
(Narrator) And after his long day,
the truce thwarted, the peace talks in tatters,
Harry felt a calm he hadn't felt for days.
His confusion was gone,
and he was finally back on firm footing
in the America he understood,
the one where you fought for everything you had
with everything you had,
and you won.
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distracters
He knew enough Greek history to understand that
not all men were born to be warriors.
He was,
but some were born to be philosophers or saints,
and they needed to be protected from the Garys and Rosies
and Hugos of this world.
So, watching his gentle boy sleep,
Harry further resolved that he would do everything in his power
to fight for and protect him,
to his last dying breath.
