All language subtitles for High Crimes (2002)

If you get a chance,
get over to Marin.

Check out the Marin County
Arts Fair. It's amazing,

and it'll be going on through
this Thanksgiving weekend.

Well, nothing's changed.
We've got fog and low clouds

in both the East Bay
and here in San Francisco.

And we're looking at
a high of 69 degrees

once these clouds burn off.

The time now is 7:23.

Stick with your girl here.
Oh, my gosh.

We'll be coming at you
with much, much more music.

Hello!

Yoo hoo!

Tommy, turn it off.

We gotta make a baby.

Yeah?

I can't do that now,

'cause I got a drainage issue
with a floor in Paris that..

We have
an issue that needs..

Resolved first.
..to be resolved.

Right now?
It's red.

Okay, good. Listen,
I'll talk to you later.

I thought you had
a sentence hearing.

I do,
so we have to hurry.

We've got seven minutes for us,

15 minutes for resting
with my hips elevated,

and I'll only be
four minutes late

if I check my
messages in the car

and there's no traffic
on the bridge.

Okay.

How about 10 minutes for us and
12 minutes for hip elevation?

Nine and thirteen.

Okay, deal.
Come here.

No. No, no, wait. It's
actually supposed to work better

if you're on top.

Okay.

I thought I'd never
hear you say that.

So nice.

I know what they said,
reduced sentence,

but I think I can
get a new trial.

Claire, I don't know if we
should bite off that much.

It's a first offense.
We can ask for leniency.

The jury forewoman
is an advocate.

She's not an impartial juror.

I don't know.
I hate to push.

This is a rape case. I don't
wanna piss the judge off.

Trust me on this, Alex.

Please tell me
you're joking.

Your Honor,
my client is looking

at some serious time in jail
and irreparable damage

while these guys are
laughing all the way to CNN.

That's ridiculous.

Your Honor, juror number
nine is a rape victim.

And very much
to her credit,

she's a major fund-raiser
for a sexual assault hot line.

I must point out however,
that the prosecution

should have submitted those
facts at the voir dire.

And the prosecutorial
misconduct does not stop there.

Really?
How do you figure that?

This very D.A.'s office

handled juror number
nine's case eight years ago,

and I find it
impossible to believe

that no one on their team
recognized her.

This is outrageous.
Counselor.

Ms. Kubik, do you feel
that justice was served?

We're very pleased that Gary Norris
will be receiving a new trial.

His victim might say she's
been raped all over again,

this time by the system.

My heart goes out to her,
it really does.

But when the rights of
any defendant are violated,

we are all at risk until
injustice is redressed.

Good job.
Thanks.

Good job.
I need to talk to you.

Good, I need gossip.

That was luck, Kubik.

Just like your
Bruins last night.

Sorry about that.

She scores again.

Well, the heart of
American democracy beats on.

Would you punch up
my calendar, please?

Personal or business?

Both. Thanks.

Hi, big guy.

Good work, Claire.
We're proud of you.

Thank you very much.

I guess I'll just type "partner"
in right here next to January 1 st.

I didn't know you
were clairvoyant.

Really? Are you serious?

We'll see.

Yes!

Not bad. I think that was just lucky.

Bring it on, girl.

Pretty.

Pretty nice.

Pretty lucky.

Well..

I'm taking you
to pool school.

I don't think
you have a shot.

Thirteen ball off the five
in the corner pocket.

Not in this lifetime, pal.

Oh, yes.

Okay.

Excuse me, please.

That is not fair.
That is not fair!

You can't hold.. No, you
can't use your left hand now.

You're a mutant.

Hey, guys, look!

This was the scene in
City Hall earlier today.

Ms. Kubik, do you feel
that justice was served?

We're very pleased that Gary
Norris will be receiving..

His victim
might say she's been raped

all over again,
this time by the system.

You look great!

My heart goes out to
her, it really does.

But when the rights of any
defendant.. Look at you.

Are violated, we are all at
risk until injustice is redressed.

How about the family? Do you
have any comments for them?

Wow.

I just want one.

Honey, lock the door.

Someone's in the house.

Leave!

- Hurry!
- Wait up!

Damn kids.

It's okay, honey.

225 Dover. Send somebody
right away. They're gone.

Are you okay?

Oh, God.

I'm fine.

How old is he?

Fourteen months.

Uh-oh. Cute baby alert.

Hi. Can we meet your baby?

Hi! Oh, my God,
what a doll.

He's in a pretty good mood.

There's this, well.. Because
he had on a T-shirt or something,

and the T-shirt was just
a huge hit afterwards.

Men all across America
were buying T-shirts.

I always liked
It's a Wonderful Life.

Nice.
Christmas domestic.

Yeah, that's the spirit.

Interesting.

Real interesting.

Keys, please.

What is it, baby?

FBI!

Get down!

Get down, honey.

What?

Get down!

Get down on the ground now!

Get down!

Okay!

Stay down!

Leave her alone!

You cuffed him? You
cuffed him? I got it, yeah.

Did you cuff him?

Screwed up the whole damn
thing. You know you're looking

at a multimillion dollar
lawsuit, right, Mr. Mulkins?

Excess use of force, harassment,
reckless endangerment.

How's that for starters?

It's Mullins, Mrs. Kubik.

Special Agent Mullins.

You have a warrant for the arrest
of someone named Ron Chapman.

My husband is Tom Kubik.

Your computer is
obviously having

some kind of
a psychotic break.

It wasn't our computer.

If your people had
gotten any closer,

you would have burned
the guy, all right?

Fine. Forget about it.

It wasn't our computer.
It was Marin P. D.

They ran all the fingerprints
after your house was burglarized,

and I'll tell
you something else.

The AFIS flagged
your husband's.

They've been in
the system for 12 years.

And once again, what
is he being accused of?

I'm sorry,
but I can't tell you.

Come on.

You know that having
been subject to arrest,

I have the right
to know the charges.

No, you don't. Not when
it's a military court,

and not when national
security is involved.

Military court?

Hello?

Oh, my God.
Thank God I caught you.

I was totally freaked out that you
were gonna be out of town or something.

And I caught you
on the news.

Claire, you have to stop
letting them mess with your hair.

Jackie? Sweetie, I just need some money.

I hate to ask.. Well,
not really, but anyway

can you just help me out?
Please?

My landlord's breathing down
my neck right now, as we speak.

If you say no,
I'm gonna be evicted.

Can you come get me?

I know what it could be.

Maybe what it is,
is that he did something

that he doesn't even know he
did, and so he's in, like..

That's enough, Jackie.

No, but he's in, like, witness
protection or something.

Just stop it, please.

Sorry.

Next time you need help, call
your other sister. No, wait.

You don't have
another sister.

I didn't call you, Jackie.
You called me.

Yeah, and I came here to pick you
up, and it's, like, the first time

you've tried to see me
in months, by the way.

The base is in San Lazaro.

It's about 45 minutes
south of L.A. on the coast.

Uh-huh. Yeah, I booked
you a flight into

John Wayne Airport
in Orange County.

Okay, with luggage?
Luggage, rental car.

You should be on the base
between 11:00, 11:30.

Good afternoon, ma'am.
May I see I. D., please?

All right.

Mrs. Kubik.
James Hernandez.

Ron and I were
in the same unit.

This must be a terrible
shock to you, ma'am,

but if there's
anything I can do..

Anderson. Atchison.
Chapman. Green.

Ron was a good Marine.

Now, I won't keep you.
Good luck.

Thank you.

At the end of the hall,
ma'am.

Room B, ma'am.

What the..

Where the hell
are his clothes?

Suicide watch, ma'am.

I want clothes put on him right now.

You'd have to file that
request with the brig command

on your way out.

Is your name Ron Chapman?

Yes.

How..

I don't know what to say.

I had no choice.

I had no..
I had no choice.

They were accusing me of
something that I didn't do.

Please believe me.

Believe you?

Well, I believed that

you were raised
in a foster home.

I was.

That you were never married.

Claire.

That you don't
have any children.

That you love me, Ron.

Tom. Whatever your name is.

I do love you.
But I did not do this.

Okay?

I swear that
I never did this.

And I didn't
want to tell you,

'cause I didn't
want you to leave me.

What happened?

My lawyer's here.

Mrs. Kubik?

Sorry to interrupt.

First Lieutenant Embry.
Terrence.

Hi.

I'm older than I look. So..

Well, I'll let you two..

I'll wait in the..

Claire.

Just let me go
talk to him, okay?

First Lieutenant,
is that what I call you?

Lieutenant.

Okay, why the hell
haven't you filed a request

to get him out of those goddamn
chains and into some clothes?

Right, yeah.
I'll take care of it.

Lieutenant,
I'm an attorney.

May I please see
the charging document?

We call it a charge sheet.

Fabulous. May I see it?

Can you give me
the basics?

Article 85, desertion.
Article 90, assaulting

or willfully disobeying a
superior commissioned officer.

Murder? Nine..

Yes, if convicted, he'll
get the death penalty.

Who's prosecuting?

Major Lucas Waldron has been
detailed as trial counsel.

He any good?

The best.

How about you?

I do okay.

Have you ever
won a case?

No.

I'm going to defend you.

I know you didn't
kill nine people.

Mrs. Kubik,
this is a..

I don't want you
involved in this.

I'm already involved.

You don't understand.
Military law is not the same.

I'll learn.

We're gonna fight them, okay? Together.

You remember those
three American kids?

Students who were killed in that
café in El Salvador, back in '99?

Not the camera, man.

It was a little town
called Monte Azul.

A member of a rebel group threw
a satchel bomb into that café.

Press had a field day.

Right. Everybody went nuts.

So they call up my unit,
Detachment 27,

to locate the rebel leader
who was responsible.

He was a terrorist by
the name of Danilo Chacon.

And your orders came from?

Our CO at Camp Lejeune.
Bill Marks.

Anyways..

Wait. I'm sorry.
Brigadier General Marks?

Special Representative to the
Joint Congressional Committee

on Military Appropriations,
Bill Marks?

Yes. He was Colonel
Bill Marks back then.

Under his orders,

we were sent into a little
village called Las Colinas.

It's not even a village,
even.

Just some fields,
a few huts.

Danilo Chacon was supposed
to be hiding out there.

And..

It was supposed
to be routine.

But somebody lost it.

I hear gunfire.

By the time I get to the
other end of the village,

nine people are slaughtered,
and..

God damn.

I'm just standing there. Old
women, men, kids, just dead.

And I lost it. I jumped
the guy who did it.

And next thing I know, I'm looking
at first degree, nine specs.

Who did it?

Hernandez.

Jimmy Hernandez.

He ordered me to
keep my mouth shut.

Said he was
teaching them a lesson,

that Marks would
back him up 100%.

I told him to go to hell.

Major Hernandez?
Marks' top aide?

Yes.

He introduced himself to me
yesterday, in the waiting area.

What?

Claire,
I want you to listen to me.

I want you to
stay away from him.

He's extremely dangerous.
Do you understand?

So, General Marks..

See, he's like the most
decorated, most powerful, most..

And you're saying
you were framed

by General Marks and
his special assistant.

That's our defense?

Yup.

Claire, would you
sit down for a minute?

I'm not gonna pretend
I'm looking forward

to seeing the firm's name even
remotely connected to this.

As it stands now, nobody
knows Ron Chapman is Tom Kubik.

Alex, my husband is innocent.

I'm not considering
any other possibility.

And I'm even less
interested than you are

in seeing his name
associated with a mass murder.

Claire, I just want you
to understand

all the possible
unforeseen consequences.

You know what, Alex? I'll
make it real easy for you.

If the firm's name gets dragged
into this, you don't have to fire me.

I'll resign.

Hey, Josh, remember
that thing from the 20..

Thank you.

Claire, can I do anything?

Yeah. I need a lawyer,
somebody from the Marine Corps,

somebody who's
beaten them before

and is hungry to
beat them again.

Where will you be?

Bill. Bill.

William.

I'm looking for
a Charlie Grimes.

Well, don't tell me you need
a lawyer, because you are one.

I followed the Norris case.

Talk about
a rabbit out of a hat.

Are you Charles W. Grimes?

You just can't get over
my decorator, can you?

Welcome to
Grimes and Associate.

Associate?

Delilah?

Rumor has it that you're
a very good attorney,

formerly of the JAG Corps.

In another life.

And in that former life,
you had an affair

with your superior officer's
wife, and they pushed you out.

Let's not dwell on my youthful
offenses, Mrs. Kubik. What do you want?

The military has
set up my husband,

and they've assigned some junior
varsity lieutenant to defend him.

Who's prosecuting?

Waldron.

Tell your husband
to cop a plea.

Try to make a deal
with the judge.

Military justice
is to justice

as military music is
to music, Mrs. Kubik.

Wake up and smell the napalm.

Charlie, you're not
gonna believe this shit.

They busted me again.

It's like every time I turn
around, they slap handcuffs on me.

That's because every time
you turn around,

you've got some private's privates
standing at attention, Lola.

You know, I perform a very
important service for the military.

There's a novel defense.

You do somebody
at the base, too?

Yeah, actually.

How about your lawyer here?
Is he any good?

When he gets off
his ass, yeah.

How about it, Mr. Grimes?

Man,
turn this shit off.

Nice to meet you, Lola.

I'm due in court
in an hour.

Hey! In an hour?

Jackie.

I'm here to help,

'cause what are
sisters for?

Wow. Tacky.

You got evicted,
didn't you?

What happened to
the money I sent?

Too little too late,
too much credit card debt.

All I need's an extra
phone line. What for?

My new job.
Psychic hot line.

Don't laugh.
I'm really good at it.

Twenty-nine past the hour
if you're on your way to work.

Otherwise, kick back.

I got you covered,
wall-to-wall.

Good morning, Lieutenant.

Good morning, Mrs. Kubik.

I'm gonna kill
that goddamn clock.

Hi, G. I. Joe.

Ma'am.

"Ma'am."

Claire, did you just hear
that? He just called me ma'am.

Shall we?

Yeah, let's
get out of here.

So I do not need any security
clearance for the pretrial portion.

Yes, exactly. The only portions
of the trial that are classified

are those pertaining directly
to the incidents in El Salvador.

So, I just.. You know, I hope
she didn't think I was staring.

Who?

Well, your sister.

Don't worry about it.
She understands.

She's psychic.

Okay.

Well, what do you know?

Mr. Grimes has decided
to join us after all.

Mrs. Kubik, you do know
that Charlie Grimes

has a history of
being a major drunk?

Are you sober, Mr. Grimes?

Four hundred and
sixty-two days, Mrs. Kubik.

Ain't life grand?
Fill me in.

Pretrial hearing is in 10.

Ten what?

Minutes.

What?

You don't think they'll
be impressed with leather?

Who's the judge?

Colonel Farrell.

Yeah, it would be.

Full bird colonel
at his terminal rank.

He'll piss all over us
because we're civilians,

and he won't give a shit
about reversals down the line

because he's
about ready to retire.

You file any motions?
Absolutely.

Dismiss all charges,
insufficient evidence.

Motion denied.

You haven't even
read the brief.

No doubt neither has Farrell.

The whole military judicial
system is based on denial.

Then we fight
the system.

No, no, no.
You play by the rules.

You do not
fight the system.

Fight the system,
you lose.

Isn't that right, Embry?
Say, "Yes, sir."

Yes, sir.

Don't be a sap, Embry.

Nobody in a uniform
can think for himself.

This is a pretrial hearing,
Mr. Grimes.

The goal is to listen
and not reveal anything.

Do we have anything
to reveal, Mrs. Kubik?

Claire.
Claire?

No.

No?
Then that ought to work.

Which one's the prosecutor?

Trial counsel. We call
them trial counsels.

Mrs. Kubik,
I'm Major Waldron.

How do you do?

Hi, Lucas.

Charlie Grimes.
It's nice to see you.

Bullshit.

All rise.

Be seated.

This Article 39-A session
is called to order.

I'm Colonel Farrell
of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Where the hell
is the accused?

Charlie Grimes.

I'll explain later.

Sergeant Chapman, you see
the charges against you.

How do you plead?

Your Honor, before my
client submits a plea,

would you please
address our motion

to have all
charges dismissed?

Motion denied.

Since you are painfully unfamiliar
with our court-martial system,

we don't have clients here.

Sergeant Ron Chapman
is the accused,

and I'm still waiting
for the plea.

I plead not guilty.
Not guilty.

You may be seated.

Your Honor, prosecution
requests the court's ruling

on the permissibility
of the accused

being represented
by his spouse.

Your Honor..
I'll allow it.

Thank you, Your Honor.

The prosecution requests a short
pretrial period to ensure security.

Granted.
Opening statements are

scheduled for
one week from today.

Objection! Your Honor, there's
no way we can prepare defense

for a capital case
in one week.

Noted and overruled.
Are we done?

Your Honor, I'd like to add
that the defense has no intention

of waiving our
right to a public trial

as guaranteed by
the Sixth Amendment.

Your Honor, this case
involves national security

and classified information.

We would like defense counsel admonished

that any attempt to try
this case in the media

would be a direct violation
of this court's order.

Your Honor, co-counsel
and I are civilians

and not subject
to military orders.

Any such orders, sir, will be taken
for informational purposes only.

Be advised, Counsel,
that civilian or not,

you can go to the brig
and be disqualified

from participating in
this trial altogether.

All rise.

And so it begins.

See you soon.

He's supposed
to be the best.

What the hell was that?

I said you should
follow the rules.

I'm the wild card.

You could've gotten us
thrown off the case.

Nah, it's too early.

See, if they think
we're gonna go public,

we might get an idea
how scared they are.

What do you think, Embryo?

I think, "Why me? Why was
I assigned to this case?"

Seven guys in Tom's unit,
and all of them say he did it.

But only two of these
eyewitnesses are on their list.

Hernandez and Troy Abbott.

Now what happened
to the other five?

Dead.

All of them?

Dead how?

Two were killed in combat,
the Gulf and Panama.

One was murdered.

And the other two,
accidents.

Accidents?
Mmm-hmm.

I know a couple of Pl's,
ex-Green Berets.

Not very ethical,

but maybe they could get
us the unofficial version

of how these guys died.

Could be useful.

Here we go. Troy Abbott,
Sacramento, California.

Doing four to six in Lompoc,
armed robbery.

And Waldron's office is
trying to expedite his parole.

Now, why am I certain
he's gonna succeed?

'Cause it's the Marine Corps.
"Be all you can be."

That's the Army.

Yeah, Mrs. Kubik,
I really think our theory

should be that
Hernandez acted alone.

I mean,
no one's gonna believe

that Brigadier General Marks
was in on this.

In other words,
you don't believe it.

Mrs. Kubik,
that's not my point.

Do you believe Tom or not?

Easy. He's just
expressing his opinion.

Isn't there something you
should be doing somewhere else?

Not really.

Can I get you
another coffee, sir?

No, ma'am. I'm good.

Okay.

Come here.

Now, I'm gonna have
to agree with Embry.

A guy like Marks smells,
looks, tastes credible.

Put him on the stand, he's just
gonna give Hernandez credibility.

Right,
that's what I'm saying.

Well, young man's had
an original thought.

You know what?
What?

- That my line?
- No.

Go to hell.
Another one.

Hello?
Mrs. Kubik,

will you hold
for Major Waldron?

Yes, I'll hold
for Major Waldron.

Hello, Mrs. Kubik.

Hello, Major.

Why don't you folks come
down to my office about 9:00?

Let's try to
work something out.

We'll be there.

I can't believe it.
They want a deal.

I love being a wild card.

Mr. Kubik, sir,
voluntary manslaughter,

only one specification,
that's only five years.

Plus one condition, that you
sign a nondisclosure agreement.

And as your counsel, I..
Claire,

tell the man to take
the deal of the century.

Sweetheart?
Honey,

I won't do five minutes
for a crime I didn't commit.

Do you have any idea,
any of you,

do you have any idea
what it's like to spend

23 hours a day
in a 6-by-8 cell?

Five years in Leavenworth.

They'll make sure I'm
dead long before that.

So, motion denied.

Come on in.
Based on our conversation..

That's all right, Major.

We're here to tell you
we're gonna pass.

Thanks anyway.

Mrs. Kubik.

Personally, I'm quite happy
to go to trial with this case,

but there is a lot of interest
in putting this thing behind us.

It works for everyone,
command and your husband.

And Major Hernandez
and General Marks.

See you in court, sir.

Here on
the Fantasy Jewelry Hour.

You can normally expect to
pay $199 for a ring like this.

Yes, you would, Jim,

and this beautiful piece
is available right now..

So, no deal.

Can you believe I asked my
husband to do five years in prison?

Go ahead. Tell me what a waste
of oxygen all lawyers are.

So if you're on the phone right
now, don't get off the line.

You're not gonna
wanna miss this.

That's right.

You're curiously quiet
on the subject.

Jackie, would you please turn
that down? I mean, come on..

Your husband came to my
village and killed my family.

And it's true, lawyers
are a waste of oxygen.

Drop this deal..

Jackie? Mrs. Kubik?

Hey.

He ran out.

Claire?
Claire, are you okay?

Bastards!

It's Hernandez.
Oh, God damn.

We turned down their deal,
and he's trying to scare us.

Baby, you don't know
how these people work.

I don't know
how any of it works.

What do you mean?

This other life of yours.

You don't believe me,
do you?

Of course I believe you.

Baby, I'll take a polygraph.

There's no need for it. It's
not even admissible in court.

The hell with the courts.

I wanna do it for us.

Hey, Ronnie or Tommy or
Paco or whatever it is.

You haven't changed a bit.
Major Hernandez,

this is
an unethical ex parte.

I'm just here to help.

What are you doing here?

Hey, you ought to
plead this out, Ace.

Major.. Tom, don't! Stop it! Stop!

You're making it worse!

Who let Major Hernandez
in here?

He's not authorized
to be in here!

See? Look at your killer!
He is provoking my client!

Who is in charge? Who let him
in here? Look at your killer!

He's not supposed
to be in here!

Major Hernandez said
he was a defense witness.

He is not a witness
for the defense!

Who is in charge?

I want to talk to
whoever is in charge!

Is your real name
Ron Chapman?

Yes.

Regarding the incident at
Las Colinas on March 15, 1988,

will you answer my
questions truthfully?

Yes.

Did you actively participate
in the death of anyone

during the 15th of March,
1988, shootings?

Mrs. Kubik?

You passed.

Of course I passed.

Are we being monitored?

No, it's absolutely secure.

Absolutely secure?

What do you mean?

What do you think I mean?

And, Lieutenant Colonel,

were there any eyewitnesses
to this massacre?

Yes. We had seven eyewitness statements

all I. D.- ing
Chapman as the shooter.

Thank you. Nothing further, Your Honor.

Colonel LaPierre,
you were, and still are,

a special agent with the
Criminal Investigations Division

in charge of this
investigation, yes?

That's correct.

So when you say that the
investigation was not flawed,

you're basically giving
yourself a big thumbs-up.

I'm just expressing
my opinion.

So help you God,
no doubt.

Now, is it possible, Colonel,
that these so-called witnesses

were coached before you
got your hands on them?

I guess it's possible,
but unlikely.

And are you aware
that of the seven witnesses,

two were subsequently killed in combat?

Yes, I'm aware of that.

And another three, three relatively
young men, have died as well?

Yes.
Let's see.

There was a Lieutenant Allen
of Longview, Texas, hit and run.

A Sergeant Stenstrom of Taos,
New Mexico, accidental drowning.

And the other, an unfortunate
mountain climbing fall.

That sounds right.

Does it?

Well,
that's interesting, Colonel,

seeing as how I just made
up those causes of death.

I mean, there was no
accidental drowning

and no mountain climbing fall.

I do have the details
of these tragic deaths

including a fatal
home-invasion robbery,

if you'd care
to look at them.

I'm a little fuzzy
on the details.

I wasn't in charge of
those investigations.

No further questions,
Colonel.

My investigation was
strictly by the book.

No further questions.

Hello?

Claire,
it's Charlie.

You know the witness in
Tom's unit who was murdered?

Yeah, home-invasion robbery.

He was killed
right in front of his wife.

And the word is, she accused the
military of having been involved.

Will she talk to us?

Problem there is that she
disappeared right after that.

Hey. Is this a bad time?
Hey.

A bad time? No.

I was thinking we could go
over the Hernandez cross.

Well, I was just
taking a break,

'cause, I was going over the
Hernandez stuff myself, and..

Please don't be mad. It
wasn't him. It was all me.

Mrs. Kubik,
I want you to know

this doesn't affect anything, okay?

I mean, my work.
I'm totally up for it.

He is.

Come on, Claire, we were
just going over his briefs.

Claire, wait.

You never can take anything
seriously, can you? Nothing, ever.

Yeah, that's right, Claire.

You know,
you get to be the lawyer,

so I gotta get to
bang one, right?

We're closed. Closed!

Sorry, lady,
we're closed.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me
how to get to State Street?

Sure. Two blocks down.

Thank you.

Sorry.

Want some cheese?

Yeah, I could make
an omelet.

I'll make one. You want
cheddar? American? Swiss?

Cheddar's good.

Mrs. Chapman?

It's Kubik.

Okay, Mrs. Kubik.

I want to tell you about
what I do for a living.

This sicko bothering you? 'Cause
I know how to deal with weirdos

who hang around
the frozen food section.

I teach guys
to beat the box.

Who are you?

I teach techniques that enable
anyone to beat a polygraph,

like special
operations personnel

who might be captured,
interrogated behind enemy lines.

Basically, I teach people
to create a new persona.

That way, when they lie,
they're not really lying.

Why are you telling me this?

I don't know.

But my guess is, you do.

Hey, who are you?
Who sent you?

I was just asked to
convey this message to you.

Just so you'd know,
along with everyone else.

Good night, Mrs. Kubik.

Okay, get out of here.

Hey, honey.

Is it true?

What?

That you get that kind of
training, to beat the box?

What are you talking about?

The polygraph, Tom.

Sure, but I didn't beat
the box. I told the truth.

Why didn't you tell me
you could do that?

'Cause it just didn't
occur to me.

That's not a part
of who I am anymore.

Well, that's it, isn't it?
That's it right there.

How do I know
who you are?

Claire, you're the only one
who knows who I am.

You know what?
That's it. I..

I don't care anymore.
I did it.

I shot them all. Yeah.

For the fun of it. Why not?

Who the hell cares, Claire?

You know, the man you've been
waking up to every morning

loves, just loves to kill women
and children in cold blood.

'Cause I.. Who the
hell knows why, Claire?

Am I making any sense?

Does what I'm saying
make any sense to you?

No.

This whole base
ain't secure.

They know every move we make.

Tell me.
How do they know, Charlie?

How do they know?

Good question, Mrs. Kubik.
Good question.

Damn, Charlie Grimes.

Hey, Renny.

It's been ages.

Did you come to
beg for leftovers?

No, I just want to look
through your trash. Okay?

White shroud

Clear blue sky

The sea swells a bit

When sailors die

Was that a word?

Is this a clue?

You're so very far away

But I'm sure it's you

What's the problem?
Take it easy. God damn!

Hold his legs.
No. No.

Hold him.

No, no, please.

Come on, come on.

I just don't believe it.
I refuse.

And my sister-in-law
used to say

truth is less fun
than fiction.

Terry would never do that.

You're screwing him,
so you know him?

Excuse me,
Mrs. Ron Chapman.

I gotta sit down.

Well, well, well.

What happened?

Lucy, you got a lot
of explaining to do.

Charlie, you all right?
Who did this?

Just some of the old gang
from down at the club,

the same group that mysteriously
knows every move we make.

What are you talking about?

How did they know
about the polygraph?

Tarot cards?

Were you with them? Were
you drinking with Waldron?

Wait a minute. Every Friday
everybody drinks there.

We don't talk about cases.

Charlie,
you were in the Corps.

You know
what it's like, right?

Claire, you can understand.

I understand you're fired.

What? No, listen.

This case will be over, and you'll
be gone, but I'll still be here.

Did you know about this?

What? Wait a minute.

Did you? Did you know about
the attack on me and Claire?

Or was it just
a coincidence..

What? You seriously
think I would do..

What do you say we go
to the hospital, Charlie?

I'm worried
about your ribs.

Just get me some ice.
Hell, I've been here before.

And I won't be there
for Hernandez.

I got word.

Troy Abbott got his parole.

I gotta go track him down.

Well,
kind of sick.

See, Chapman taunted
the victims.

He tossed his gun
around like a cowboy,

kind of showing off,
and then

he executed them.

Please continue, Major.

I ran to the south end of the
village, but it was too late.

They were all dead.
Chapman was still shooting.

Chapman!

Two other members of the unit
assisted me,

and we got him down,
we got his weapon.

Major, you say Sergeant
Chapman did some sick things.

Yet you, his XO, allowed him to
proceed without any supervision?

I didn't realize
he'd take it that far.

Had Chapman ever been cited for
this kind of behavior before?

No, he had not.
In fact, wasn't he

the most experienced and
reliable member of Detachment 27?

Before you answer, that's a direct
quote from a report you filed.

Defense exhibit A.

Chapman was a good Marine.

Courageous. Honest.

I thought so.

The kind of good
Marine who would not

go along with a cover-up..
Objection.

For you who actually
committed the killing.

Objection!

Sustained.

Make that your last outburst,
Counselor.

Jury members, you are instructed
to disregard that accusation.

Major, how is it possible that
seven men, spread all over a village,

would witness
the exact same thing?

We all got to the barn
at the same time.

Wow. How convenient.

Doesn't it make more sense that
some of those alleged witnesses

were ordered to lie
on their C. I. D. statements?

They were not ordered to lie.
How do you know?

I would know if something
like that happened to my men.

And if something like
that happened to your men,

you would tell us?

Of course.
I wouldn't lie about it.

But, Major,

you were trained
and often compelled

to lie about your
clandestine missions.

As I understand it, you're
trained to beat a polygraph.

Is it true you
possess that talent?

I'd only use it if interrogated
by the enemy, ma'am.

That's good to know.

So, tell me this, Major.

Do you consider me a friend?

Hey.
Hey.

I ain't done
nothing with her.

I ain't interested if there's
gonna be pimps involved.

No, no. You got that all
wrong, brother. That ain't me.

Shit. I should be so lucky.

No, I'm just supposed to
deliver this to Troy Abbott.

That you?
Yeah. Who from?

It's from Jimmy Hernandez,
down at the base.

Hey, Charles.

Grace,
what are you doing here?

Got a call from the base.

You got a call from the base? Yup.

Bullshit
you got this call!

I got this..
What, bitch?

Who you raising up?
Get up!

I'm gonna whup
your nasty ass self!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

I'm tired of this shit!

Why are you always
getting into trouble?

Why you always
trying to play daddy?

Apologize to the man.

I ain't..

Do you want me
to apologize, baby?

Do you?

Gracie can
apologize real good.

Do you?

Do you want me to say sorry? I'm sorry.

So they paroled you?

Yeah.

Then they bring me all the
way to this dump to testify.

Why? What really
happened that night?

Hey, I don't know, man.
It was years ago.

El Salvador.
Some massacre shit.

I'll bet some damn officer
ordered it too, right?

You ain't thirsty?

Yeah. Shit, yeah.

I'm just, you know,
just chilling.

They call me Dr. John

Known as the night tripper

My satchel of
Gris-Gris in my hand

Day trippin' up

Back down the bayou

I'm the last of the best

I'm known as the Gris-Gris man

Sellin'

Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya-Ya

Hit it now

Hey, now..

So then what did you
say back? That's like..

Yeah, what'd you say?

Come on, tell us. We never
get to hear shit like this.

Come on. Damn, man.

All right, hey, hey.
Who we gonna tell,

you know what I'm saying?

What'd you say?

That I was nowhere near the place.

And they want me to say
that I saw this guy shooting.

Damn.
That's intense.

You gonna do it?

Hell, I already did it
in my statement to the C. I. D.

I just gotta testify to what
I already said, you know?

What's C. I. D.?

Criminal
Investigative Division.

Yeah, but what about this poor guy?

Forget the poor guy.

I mean, what are you gonna
do? Your XO comes up, says,

"You see Chapman shoot the wetbacks?"
You say, "No, sir, I didn't."

He says, "Be sure about this.
Your career's on the line."

Everybody else
said he did it.

So I say
what they want to hear.

One more witness,
no difference. Right?

Right.

911. What is your
address and emergency?

Yes. 10145. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, ma'am.
Is this an emergency?

No, there's somebody
trying to get in the house.

Claire?

Hello? Is he in?

No. No, no. It's okay. I'm sorry.

Claire, open the door.

False alarm?
Claire?

Yeah, it was a false alarm.

Thanks.

Claire?

Charlie,
you scared me to death.

That guy was out there.

What guy?

You've been drinking.

Who, me?

Oh, my God.

No. No, no.
You got it wrong.

See, I'm just a victim

of hazardous working
conditions. Frightful life.

Sure you are.
No, really.

That man was
watching the house.

No. Ain't nobody out there.

What is this?
What is this?

Looks like a recorder.

Hmm.

Is Abbott on here,

saying he never saw what he
agreed to testify to in court?

You didn't?

I most certainly did.
And you know what?

He was nowhere
near the shooting.

I mean, nowhere near it.

Charlie, this is fabulous.

This does it. This proves
they're setting him up.

Charlie, I..

You really think I wanted to
give up 483 days of sobriety

and start all over
at day one, Claire?

I'll make some coffee.

Wait a minute. Not so
fast. See, I figure,

"Hey, you already slipped, Charlie.

"So what's one more gonna
hurt?" How about it, Claire?

One for our side.

I can't. I'm trying
to get pregnant.

Well.

I'm not trying
to get pregnant.

I am certainly not
trying to get pregnant.

You're absolutely right,

but a judge will be
more lenient.

You're late, Counsel.

Prosecution
requests a sidebar.

Make it good.

Your Honor, our next witness,
Troy Abbott, has disappeared.

What? Things are gone from his room.

Now, we've
notified the MPs..

Notified, my ass.
You let him out of jail,

and you turned him loose.
Watch your language.

Your Honor, we have a tape that
impeaches Abbott's original statement

and fully vindicates
our client. What tape?

There was no discovery
about a tape.

Why, you with discovery.
You got spies all over.

In my chambers,
everybody.

Court is recessed.

All rise!

I mean, what are you gonna do?
Your XO comes up, says,

"You see Chapman shoot the wetbacks?"
You say, "No, sir, I didn't."

He says, "Be sure about this.
Your career's on the line."

Everybody else
said he did it.

So I say what
they want to hear.

One more witness,
no difference. Right?

Without Abbott, we can't
authenticate this tape.

For all we know, he
may have been coerced,

any number of things.

It's inadmissible.
What?

Your Honor, you admitted
Abbott's C. I. D. statement.

We need this to rebut it.

This tape clearly
exonerates Ron Chapman.

The C. I. D. statement was
taken by an objective party.

Bullshit! He lied!

They lied! How the
hell is that objective?

The tape is excluded.

What's next?

Your Honor!

Excluded, Counselor.

Major?

We're out of witnesses, Your
Honor. The prosecution rests.

Your Honor,
this is a capital case.

An objective judge would admit
the tape, and you know it.

We'll hear from
the defense next Friday.

This is grounds
for an appeal.

Honey?

Claire..
We'll appeal this.

Claire, stop.
You can't fight them.

Tom, don't talk that way.

We'll get another break.
I know we will.

You do not know
these people.

Stop it before you
get yourself hurt.

We can win this.

I am not gonna let
them do this to you.

What are you doing?

Is that a..

Must have done it when
they installed the phones.

And you two were so ready to
blame Terry. So self-righteous.

Let's go to Farrell,
demand a mistrial.

Denied. There's no way
we'd ever be able to prove

that Waldron or Hernandez had
anything at all to do with this.

Then what?

We are out of witnesses,
and we are out of time.

Maybe it's time we heard
from the brigadier general.

Not on the stand.

No.

You think we should
pay him a visit?

I think you should
pay him a visit.

Why me?
Are you scared of him?

No, but I'm just a thorn
in the Marine Corps' ass.

But you, my dear,

you're the pretty, young,
sympathetic little wife.

I don't play those games.

Shit.

General Marks?

No press, please.

I'm not press.
How do you do?

Miss..

Kubik. Claire Kubik.

I'm representing my husband,
Sergeant Ron Chapman?

Mrs. Kubik. Good day.

General Marks,
you gave James Hernandez..

I have nothing to say to you.
..the order

to eliminate Danilo Chacon and
his terrorist group at Las Colinas.

You knew they fully expected
Detachment 27 to come under attack.

You're a dignified man, sir.

End the cover-up.

How dare you?

Your man James Hernandez
overreacted and opened fire.

You know what happened.

Young lady,
you are way out of line.

Listen to this, sir, and
tell me how out of line I am.

This is C.W. Grimes
and Associates.

If you want to
talk to Charlie,

you should leave a
message after the beep.

If you want to
talk to Delilah,

you should get
your head examined.

Well, Charlie,
that was a great idea.

The man flicked me off
his suit like I was a flea.

I am gonna lose my mind.

I mean, we cannot let
them get away with this.

There has to be
somebody who was there.

There has to be
somebody who's..

Directory assistance.

The Herald.

Of course not.

When you settle down,
I do have something to say.

You're representing your own
husband in the court-martial?

Is there a military
conspiracy at work here?

You know that I cannot
legally comment on

the details of
a court-martial proceeding.

I would, however,
like to say,

emphatically,
that my husband is innocent.

There is a man who's a stranger
to me, who said to me last week

that all lawyers
are a waste of oxygen.

As a wife and as an attorney, I
greatly fear that justice in this case

will not
ultimately be served,

and I would like to
challenge that man

or anyone who has
firsthand knowledge

of what happened that day in El
Salvador to please come forward.

Charlie?

Laurel, just to recap

today's press conference
with attorney Claire Kubik,

she's continually insisting
that her husband is innocent.

This attorney and wife is
clearly standing by her man.

Reporting live for Channel
12 News, this is Karen Cobb.

Hello?

You just had to do it.
You just had to.

The whole firm just saw
you on the 6:00 news.

Hello, Alex.
I have been expecting your..

Claire?

I'll..

You'll..

I'll send you
my resignation tomorrow.

Claire?

Get in.

No.

Wait. Okay, wait. No.

Where are we going?

I want to know the truth.

I want to know what
happened at Las Colinas.

You don't care
about the truth.

All you care about is
saving your husband.

Get out.

Get out.

You want to know
about Las Colinas?

Women like you,

beautiful, young,

and the old people
begging for their lives.

Jesus Christ.

It was 12 years ago.

They all look the same, a
bunch of gringos in uniform..

Don't be foolish.

It's a photograph.

I just want to
show you a photograph.

I remember him, the one
with the patch on his eye,

the blood still fresh from
the explosion at Monte Azul.

This man was
at Monte Azul?

Of course he was.

He killed Danilo Chacon.

Chacon was in the café
in a secret meeting

and this man was there.
He was there.

That's how he hurt his eye.

No, but Danilo Chacon
blew up the café

and killed the three
American students..

You people believe anything. The
students were killed by mistake,

because the American military
didn't know they were there.

To cover it up,
they blamed the rebels

and pretended to look for
their leader in Las Colinas,

but they knew
he was already dead.

They knew they had
killed him with the bomb.

Thanks a lot.
You're welcome.

Well, if it isn't
little Miss Six o'clock News.

You're drunk.

You were supposed
to call me, but..

When you got..
Charlie?

I called you.

I was out, but you
could have called back.

I thought we had
an agreement.

Excuse me. I thought
we had an agreement.

I thought..

I thought me and
you was partners.

But you know,
partners don't

decide to do dumb shit..
Charlie, it worked.

Without telling
the other part of the team

that they'd done
some dumb shit.

Charlie?
What?

I just spent
an hour with the guy.

He's the real deal.
He saw the whole thing.

Tom's innocent.
This proves it.

There's a cover-up,
Charlie,

and it's bigger
than we thought.

I need you sober.

Yeah.

Come on.

Yeah, all right.
Let's get you home.

Okay, baby. All right.

No, Charlie.

Chris, last one.

Just one more.
Forget about it.

I got it. I got it.

Come on, partner.

All right, partner.

Damn, what was that?

What? Oh, my God!

Shit! It's oil!

Hi, sweetie.

I had the worst dream.

I dreamt I was pregnant and these
people came and took the baby away.

You one lucky girl,

you and the gentleman.

I want you to
take something.

Here, baby.

Don't you worry
about a thing.

You'll have another baby.

What?

Don't you worry.
What?

You'll have another one.

Jackie?

No. No.

I'm so sorry.

No. No. No. That's not fair. No.

I'm so sorry.

Be strong. Be strong.
You have to rest.

Claire,
it's Charlie.

Come in.

Hi.

How's your neck?

It's all right.

I've had worse whiplash

just looking around at pretty
women like you on the street.

I'm truly sorry, Claire.

I wanted that baby
so much, Charlie.

You know,
I kept thinking,

maybe there was something wrong with me,

or I didn't deserve it,

or I wouldn't be
a good mother.

I really didn't think they'd
do something like this.

I'm at zero, Charlie.

Hey, whoa. Whoa, now. Listen to me.

I know about zero.
I've hit bottom,

and I was on my way back
there before the accident.

But you know what?

I think we were spared for some
reason, and you gotta believe that.

So, for you and me,
kiddo, this is day one.

Okay?

Hey, you got
another visitor.

Hello.

Merry Christmas.

You all right?

I owe you an apology,
Lieutenant.

We were mistaken.

That's okay.

Although, I'm not sure merry is
the right word to use around here.

Well, that's where you
might be wrong, Mrs. Kubik.

You see,
if it's true James Hernandez

injured his eye in the
bombing at the café,

he would have got
immediate treatment for it.

And they just keep records
of those covert operations

so people like us
can go look them up?

No, he would have insisted
on it for insurance purposes,

so the government couldn't
screw him out of compensation.

Thank you.

Agent Mullins!

I just need
a minute of your time.

Somehow I'm confident

it's not my rugged good looks to
which I owe the honor of this visit.

The press accepted the
official version of the story.

Well, what if Chacon
didn't blow up the café?

Mrs. Kubik..

What if James Hernandez,
the XO of my husband's unit,

blew up the café and killed
the American students by mistake?

What if
Brigadier General Marks,

to cover the whole thing up,
staged a raid on Las Colinas?

What if all this is not my
job and none of my business?

I'm just asking you
to help me look into it.

Make it a lean one, chief.

Why not? I know you have your sources.

My sources?

You keep saying it's not your job. Good.

I wasn't sure
you were listening.

Well, Agent Mullins,
then whose job is it?

Come on, whose job?

God damn, what a pain
in the ass you are.

Hernandez was
injured in the explosion.

There has got to be a classified
medical document somewhere.

Yeah?

Hey, Charlie,
it's me, man.

Hey, Mac. I've been
checking out the rumors

about how those witnesses
in Chapman's unit really died.

Hell, I've been all
over the place, man.

I got expenses, phone
bills, plane tickets.

It's gonna cost you, man.
It's gonna cost you.

Well, you told me that.

I found the wife
of the one who was murdered.

Lisa Stenstrom is
living in Mexico,

and she swears the
military killed her husband.

Yeah?

Just inside, ma'am.

Have you heard
from Charlie?

Yeah. He called about an hour
ago, but he was really weird,

like he didn't want
to talk on the phone.

Well, like Charlie, I don't know

if I should talk
on the phone.

He did say he was in Mexico.

In Mexico?
What is he doing in Mexico?

I don't know. So you're on
your way back here or what?

Yeah, but I'm gonna stop
in Los Angeles first.

All right. Bye.

So, I'll see you.

General.

You all have had him
all night. It's my turn.

Shall we?

We uncovered the real reason you
sent Detachment 27 to Las Colinas.

Uncovered? It's a
matter of public record.

Well, not really.

What is a matter
of record, though,

is that James Hernandez
sustained an injury

to his left eye in the
bombing at Monte Azul.

Eyewitnesses place him
in the truck

from which
the grenade was thrown,

and he had that injury treated
at a hospital in San Salvador,

before Las Colinas.

Your gung ho raid was a
decoy for your bombing.

You know,
this fairy tale of yours

would have to be based
on classified material,

even if any of it
were remotely possible.

Now, you're bluffing,
and you're doing it badly.

After you.
Thank you.

You know, General Marks, we'd be only

too happy to have
you testify under oath

and allow the court to
fully explore our evidence.

For example, classified
document dated 3-14-88.

Major Hernandez's
medical report

for a shrapnel wound
at Santa Maria hospital.

You know, that's the same day
and mighty close to Monte Azul.

You have no shame.

Look what you're willing
to do to free a murderer.

Pick up the phone
and call the right people.

I want the charges dropped
or the document goes public.

Haven't you noticed

that you've been
unlucky lately?

Now, caution might be the
order of the day for you.

I am not afraid of you.

I've already survived you
once, you smug son of a bitch.

The real question is
will you survive me?

Make it go away, General,
or the document goes public.

For both our sakes, sir.

Pull over, right here.

Jackie. Jackie?

Jackie?

Ma'am.

Claire?

You all right?

Oh, my God. Yeah.

What the hell's
that all about?

Colonel Farrell wants us in
court tomorrow morning at 0800.

Waldron filed a motion to have
you disqualified from the case

for talking to the press.

Any word from Charlie?

I've been trying him
on his cell all day.

Just getting voice mail.

We've still got Hernandez's
medical report.

I'll do my best.

Farrell wouldn't admit
a classified document

any more than he would
the Abbott tape.

Maybe you should
take the deal.

There's no more deal,
not now.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Kubik.

Why don't you
spend the night out?

I don't know if it's a good
idea to be around here tonight.

I..

I could use a little time on my own.

Hey. You heard from Charlie?

No.

What's going on, honey?

I don't know.

All rise.

Be seated.

Major Waldron, Mrs. Kubik,
please approach.

What the hell is this?

For reasons of
national security,

the Department of
Defense has determined

that charges against
Sergeant Ron Chapman

are to be withdrawn.

Court is closed.

Sergeant Chapman,
you're free to go.

Oh, my God.

Shit. Let's go.
Let's get out of here.

Hey, Charlie. Listen, in case
you're interested, pal, we won.

We're going to Marin.
We're blowing this town.

If you ever want to call me,
that's where we'll be.

Hope you're okay.

Jesus. Look at this.

What do you suggest I do?

Have Jackie meet us on the
next block with her car.

Will there be more of
them at the airport?

Probably.

Why do we need to bother?
Let's just drive.

Here you go.
Thanks, Embry.

Okay, good.
Thank you for everything.

Yeah. You take care
of yourself, Mr. Kubik.

You, too.

Okay.
Thanks, Jackie.

Well, kid.
Ma'am.

Old man.
Turns out you're okay.

Well, you too, kid.

Thank you so much,
Mrs. Kubik.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

We're gonna take our time.

Okay.

So we'll call you
when we get there.

Probably around 7:00.

Bye.

About a week before
Paul was murdered,

he started making phone calls
to an old Marine Corps buddy,

who, incidentally, was killed
about two months after Paul.

I don't know what they talked
about, but it really upset him.

You have no idea
what it's like

to see somebody you love
killed right in front of you.

And you believe this is somehow
connected to the military?

Yeah.

It's just a feeling,
'cause Paul knew him.

You know? Well, he just
seemed to recognize him,

the thing he did
with the hands.

Paul seemed to
know who he was.

You think that
owl's still around here?

You know one thing that
bothered me more than anything?

I couldn't protect you.

I had to stand by
while they hurt you.

Shit. I should have
got more champagne.

I love you.

I thought you unplugged that.

I did, but I tried
Charlie one more time.

Hi, Claire.
It's me.

Sweetheart, I'm sorry.

Look, I'm..

I'll be right back.

I'm sorry
I wasn't there today.

I didn't mean
to let you down.

Yeah, Charlie.
Hi.

Look, Claire, I'm real sorry. I just..

I couldn't get there.

Why today, Charlie,
of all days?

I mean, what if Marks had
opted to testify or what..

You know what?

I don't want to
talk about it.

I thought I had a friend.

I am your friend, kiddo.

Sure you are.

Just say a toast
for my husband

while you drink
yourself silly.

Goodbye, Charlie.

Listen. I am your friend.

I was being your friend today more
than you'd care to know, kiddo.

What do you mean?

We need to talk.

I just don't think that
now is a good time for it.

Where are you going?

I think AA meetings are
supposed to be anonymous.

I'm gonna get
some more champagne.

Okay. Hurry back.

Are Marks and Hernandez
going to give us trouble?

Is Tom still there?

No. He's going to the store.

All right,
get to your computer.

Pull up your calendar.

Find out where your husband
was on January 20, 1997.

Why are you doing this, Charlie?

Look it up, Claire.
It's important.

Tom was in Santa Fe,
New Mexico.

He met a collector. I picked
him up from the airport.

February 10, '97.

Houston, Texas. Trade show.

Claire, listen to me.

Those are the dates that
witnesses were murdered.

Stenstrom was murdered January
20, 1997, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Allen died in Houston,
Texas, February 10.

And wait a minute.

Didn't Hernandez say that Tom
tossed his gun back and forth,

taunting his victims?

Is he ambidextrous?

Yeah.

Stenstrom's wife said
the man shot her husband,

then tossed the gun back
and forth, showing off,

and shot him again
with the other hand.

I can't talk
about this right now.

Sure.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Claire.

I just thought
I ought to let you know.

Fine. I gotta go.

I thought you
went to the store.

I grabbed the wrong keys.

Those are the right keys.

Those are Jackie's.

Oh.

What are you
working on there?

Nothing.

You want to run out with me
to get some champagne?

I'm not really in
the mood for champagne.

Ouch! Tom.
I'm sorry.

Well, well,
let's just talk then.

Talk about what?

About what you were
talking about on the phone.

What, you think
I'm stupid, Claire?

You must.

Why didn't you come to me
to talk about it?

You must like to keep
your secrets with..

Your life is
one big secret.

Did you do it, Tom?

You can tell me.

I certainly have
a right to know.

Risked my life for it.
Lost a baby.

Claire..

Did you kill those people?

Yes.

Yeah. Yeah.
I did. I had to..

It's what I was
trained to do, Claire.

They lied to me.

They told me
they were terrorists.

Told me to interrogate them and so you
do what you have to do to get every,

any kind of information
you can out of them.

And so I did.

Because I was the best at it,
and they knew it.

What about
Stenstrom and Allen?

Stenstrom saw me on
the street one day,

and he told Allen, and they
needed to go away. You see?

Do not
look at me like that.

I do not, not deserve it.

Sorry.

I'm a bit tired.

I was just protecting us.

We'll get over this.

You'll see. Honey..

No!

Stop it! Stop it!

Tom! Oh, God, you're hurting
me! You're hurting me.

You're hurting me.
Stop it. Tom.

Stop it! Stop.
Look at me.

Look at me.
Honey. Honey..

Shut up. Shut up.
You're a liar.

Liar. Don't lie to me.

Liar.

I didn't want to have to
do this to you, Claire.

Tom. Tom.

Tom.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm sorry.

You're listening to the Bay Area's
number one station for sports,

news and information.

You have a whole suite
of offices here, Charlie.

Yeah, but don't talk about it
because I might get spooked.

I mean, who knows
what might happen?

How are you holding up?

I'm okay.

Same old associate?

Yeah.

She's back there in
the back somewhere.

I just brought her a bone back
from lunch, so she's probably busy.

Hello. Sorry.
Come see me.

You're beautiful.

Hello.

You know, I often ask myself
why I never left San Lazaro.

Then it occurred to me that,

hell, I never left because I
didn't have anyplace else to go.

You know, it could
read Grimes and Kubik.

It's gotta say Grimaldi.

Huh?

My maiden name.

And, Charlie, you gotta do
something about these colors.

What?

Well, I'm very sensitive
about my work environment.

Really?
Yeah.

So?

So I was thinking
about a tropical color.

Just like really pretty, with a
little contrasting trim on the windows.

Claire!

Charlie,
check out this exterior.

I mean, it's skid-row
chic, I understand that,

but, you know, the watermarks
gotta go. That's a given.

So we could make it..

I don't know you

Don't know those
melancholy eyes I see

Do you even know me?
