All language subtitles for The Commish S01E21 Video Vigilante

Campus security called us about 10 .15.

Tell the hospital I want a record of all
her visitors.

No sign of forced entry.

It was probably someone she knew.

What animal could she know that would do
this to her?

Beat her into a coma?

Look around. This is a nice girl's room.

It's Friday night. She wasn't out
partying.

Julia Green was sitting here studying
her... whatever this is, and...

Paulie, this is the kind of place I want
my kids to be in

someday. Safe, protected.

Seems like yesterday I was in college,
and the wildest thing we got into was

streaking.

The guys have been questioning some of
the kids in the dorm. Nobody saw

anything.

Boyfriend? Yeah, frat boy, Ryan Gibson.

We're looking for him.

Hey, Pats.

From the desk of Dr. Gerald Hanick.

Pretty co -ed has an affair with a prof.

Ain't like it's never happened before.

Things could have got out of hand.

This hotel's in Philadelphia.

I'll see if this Dr.

Hannock's there.

It's time for us to start doing our
homework.

your cards and you can keep your purse.
Just give us the money you took out.

Come on.

Move it.

Come on.

You're home.

Look up.

Oh, man.

What are you? Some damn Spielberg or
something?

Come on. Get your ass out of here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Okay, okay, okay. Take it easy.

Come on, man. We're just here making a
deposit.

What do you want from us?

You were Julia Green's boyfriend?

It was more than just dating?

I am her boyfriend.

And it is more than just dating.

Of course, I apologize.

It's okay.

She's gonna come out of it.

I can feel it. You know, when I saw her
in intensive care.

I just know.

I do, too.

Yeah, well, I wish you knew what it felt
like not to be able to do anything

about it.

Sometimes I close my eyes and I just see
myself wailing on the guy who did this.

It eats at me, man.

We'll find whoever it was.

Now, uh, that Friday, um, you and Julie
had plans?

Yeah, she was gonna meet me at a frat
kegger at the end of last class.

Did you go?

I went, yeah.

And there are people...

To confirm that?

Yeah, I pumped the keg.

Julia never showed?

No.

Around 6 .30, I got kind of worried, so
I went by her room.

I knocked, and no one answered.

I was ticked off then.

Did you see anybody there?

Anybody out of place, maybe?

A professor.

Dr. Hennick. He was coming out when I
was on my way in.

When I was in school, we rarely, if
ever, saw professors in the student

Well, it can be viewed as inappropriate.
I always have my students visit me in

my office.

So you've never been to the dorms? No.

Do you know Julia Green?

Only from the attendance sheet of my
ancient Roman culture class.

You supervised one of her scholarship
papers.

Yes, yes, but...

I only read it over. I didn't really
work with her.

You ever seen this before?

It's my stationery.

Your writing?

It appears to be. Did you write this or
not?

Yes, I think perhaps as a reminder. It's
the hotel I stayed at last weekend

in Philadelphia.

I got there on Friday, in fact, and
attended a pre -seminar dinner.

Can anyone confirm you were there?

Of course.

We found this in Julia Green's room.

You don't know how it got there?

No. Were you having an affair?

No. Of course not.

I've been married 20 years, tenured 10.

Of course not.

You passed a few bricks when I mentioned
an affair.

Enough to build a patio, but not a case
against him. Come on, he lied about

being in the dorm. Ryan Gibson says he
saw him there that night. I don't know,

Tom. I don't like the boyfriend.

He reminds me of all those preppy kids
out on the island.

All the Julius friends we talk to think
he's a jerk. And none of them thought

she and the prof were having an affair.

I'm on the fence.

Hey, slowly we're being very discreet.
I'll bet you five bucks nobody saw

Hanukkah at that dinner in Philly.

I'll take some of that action.

Vinnie, high collars.

You may want to put on some shades.

A sparkle will blind you.

Uh, I've seen better.

The Hope Diamond, maybe.

You got to start working better
neighborhoods, Vinnie. Where'd you get

What are you, Gallup poll?

What's with the questions?

I'd just like to know what I'm fencing.

How much?

Call it.

500. You got a battery?

My hearing aid's gone dead.

Could have sworn you only said 500.

Yeah, it's broke all right. I said 450.

Maybe you want to try up the street?

What? And ruin our beautiful
relationship?

I'll take it.

I can see why everybody in town is
coming to you two, huh?

It's so hard these days to find someone
you can trust.

Why does it have to be so hard to be a
kid these days?

I think there's drugs and random
violence.

That's just to go to school.

Hell, I'm a police commissioner and it's
overwhelming.

What must it be like for a kid?

What's it going to be like for this
little one inside of you ten years from

If it makes you feel any better, we
won't send this baby to school.

Well, Abraham Lincoln did it.

And then if it's a she, maybe our
daughter will be the first woman

the United States.

I like the sound of that.

What? First woman president?

Our daughter.

Video vigilante apprehended two robbery
suspects last evening.

Oh, man.

What are you?

Some damn Mont Spielberg or something?
Come on. Get your ass out.

Look, it's a video vigilante.

Tony, look at this.

The suspects were made to strip naked
and, as you see here, bound together to

wait for Eastbridge PD to arrest them.

Unfortunately... Do you know about this?

Eastbridge's finest untied them and
released the two men. And if you thought

criminals were embarrassed, how do you
think Police Commissioner Scali feels?

Oh.

Who's this now?

This is a TV station in Cleveland that
is airing the video vigilante tape and

would like a comment.

Here's a comment.

The Cleveland Indians will never make
the playoffs.

I'm sorry. He stepped out of the office
a moment. Could I take a message?

No more calls about the video vigilante.

No one in Philly saw the doc that night?

No, there were only 15 people at that
dinner. We talked to seven and no one

him. We could check out the others,
but... Let's pick him up. Hey, hey,

look. I know you worked up about this
case and it would make everybody feel

better to bust someone.

But are you sure we got enough?

His stationery was in a room.

He lied about being in a dorm.

He lied about his alibi.

We'd like to see Dr. Hennick, please.

I'm his teaching assistant.

Can I be of help?

Yeah. You can get the doctor.

Yes, gentlemen.

Dr. Hanick, you're under arrest for the
attempted murder of Julia Green.

And he's not denying it.

Now pull over.

You're drunk.

You're going to hurt someone.

Pull over.

I missed my calling. We got that from
Jake the Lungs Bouvier.

The VCR we got from Freddy the Greasy
Pinky. And this ring here from Vinnie

Collar. And that's just one day.

Oh, yeah, we got more than enough
evidence. I think we're ready to sweep

guys' bars.

You know, the problem is, though, they
all know each other.

We bust one guy, word's out, the others
scatter like roaches.

Yeah, I don't think they'd agree to
gather together in the same room so we

bust them, Carmela.

They might.

I think you and Carmela should get
married.

What? Wait, did I miss a reel here?

All these hoods know you. They like you.

We staged a wedding.

They all show.

Roaches go in, but they don't come out.

Wait. So we just staged the wedding,
right? Not the honeymoon.

That's between you two.

Because marriage is a sacred thing with
me.

I don't want to give you the wrong idea,
Stan. I think you're great, but you're

just not my Mr. Right.

And you're what? My dream girl?

I mean, it's not personal, Carmela. It's
strictly business.

So what do you want me to do? Get down
on my knees?

Carmela, would you marry me?

If I have to.

Oh, I'm all misty.

The video vigilante strikes again. This
time, his target is a drunk driver.

And as you can see, it's a bullseye.

This is the video vigilante.

What is wrong with you people?

He's not hurting anyone, really.

It's hurting us.

Come on, boss. You sound a little
jealous.

I sound mad.

We could control criminals this way. No
problem.

But then who would control us?

I take pride in the fact that we do not
break the law in order to enforce it.

This vigilante is no hero. He's a
criminal.

I actually might try putting her into a
deeper coma because it's

easier or something to come out of.

This is so, so tragic.

I think for her sake, you'd want the
right man in jail.

He will be, Michael, in time.

I'm going to tell the truth.

No, please.

Would you rather be humiliated like this
than be honest?

I don't understand that.

less damaging to be acquitted of these
charges than to admit our secret.

Now, you mustn't betray that secret or
my feelings, Michael. You don't know

they're saying about you. The news, the
students.

What if you're not acquitted? I put my
faith in the system of justice.

Maybe I come from a different time, but
considering everything, my family...

Myself, morally, ethically.

This is what I have to do.

Morals.

Ethics. You are from a different time.

You know I'll respect your feelings.

I'll never betray you.

really like this hospital, honey.

The labor room looked homey. You know,
it didn't have that antiseptic feeling.

How come people have to talk cutesy to
babies?

Well, what do you want to do, read them
T .S. Eliot?

You do it because it's fun.

Hey, we have a girl.

I don't know if I like the idea of her
sleeping with boys here.

Oh, Tony.

You know, Dr. Taylor and Dr. Ambercramp
both said that at this hospital they're

rooming in. The baby can stay with you.

Something your brother never grew out
of.

Come on. I want to go up to ICU before
visiting hours are over.

Come on.

Come on.

Hello.

We're here to see Julia Green.

The doctor's attending to her at the
moment.

You can wait over there.

Thank you.

You're here to see Julia?

Yes, I'm Police Commissioner Tony Scali,
and this is my wife, Rachel.

We're Julia's parents.

I'm very sorry about your daughter.
Thank you, Rachel.

Thank you for coming by.

She's had so few visitors.

Really, not many visitors.

Pardon me for one moment.

May I see the visitor's log for Julia
Green, please?

So I think that you've been here every
day.

Until they kick us out at night.

Um, the people who have visited, anyone
seem peculiar?

That Michael, the gay boy.

Albert, that's not what he meant.

No, what? Tell me.

Julia's friend, Michael Harris. He lives
down the hall from her.

They used to talk about boys together.

Michael Harris, Hanick's teaching
assistant?

Can you believe she's that close to a
friend of the man who did this to her?

Boyfriend lied about coming here.

Probably didn't know about the visitor's
log.

Father was right. The kid knew which
buttons to press.

Why wouldn't he want to go see his
girlfriend?

Maybe he wanted to remember Julia the
way she was.

Maybe he's afraid of hospitals.

It'll catch something.

Maybe he's afraid that he'll get caught
by his guilt.

What's going on?

On our special segment tonight, another
WEBG exclusive.

The video vigilante cleans up cracks.

Now,

this Coke you sold me? Yeah.

What are you doing?

On the nose, Clementine.

And when we come back, boys and girls,
we're going to have a story from Mr.

Trolleyman.

So, don't go away.

Hey, back in two years.

Professor Winston, my son and I always
used to watch you.

Move it. I got two minutes to go talk
one.

Uh, pardon me.

Hi. Are you Wayne Tibbetts, the station
manager?

Auditions for the Weatherman spot, room
10.

Uh, Tony Scali, police commissioner.

Can we talk?

Um, Jerry?

Uh, a minute 30. You got a minute 30.

Then I'll get to the point.

Stop airing the video vigilante.

No. Can't you see what's happening?

It's not good enough for him to just...

Film the incidents.

He's got to be in them now. Be the star.

This whole thing is escalating. So are
my numbers.

Numbers? Ratings, points, shares.

In literally one night, we went from
rock bottom to top of the rock.

For a local station, that's unheard of.
Two words, Commissioner.

Reality -based. The future of
television.

I'm not interested in the future of
television.

I'm interested in the future of
Eastbridge.

He's the good guy.

You're just upset because he's stealing
your thunder. Someone's going to get

hurt. Either the video vigilante or
someone who emulates him.

Take him off the air and this whole
problem will go away.

He'll go to another station.

He'll be gone and so will my career.
Because if I don't air it, someone else

will. If you won't stop airing the
tapes, then at least let us examine the

packages they were mailed in.

Any letters he included.

Sorry, we threw him out.

We're back in tent.

Cooperate with us or you'll be held as
an accessory if someone gets hurt.

And five, four, three, two.

You alone?

Uh, no.

Hey, Kent.

What's up?

Oh, I see.

Call me Paulie around here, will you
please?

I checked it out. This is Michael
Harris' spot.

I thought we might want to ask some
questions.

Can I help you?

I hope so.

I'm Police Commissioner Tony Scali. This
is Detective Tantangeli.

What took you so long?

So long for what?

This is about Dr. Hanick, isn't it? What
about him? He should be released.

Haven't you people crucified him enough?

Crucified? He beat a girl senseless. He
was in this club. In that chair next to

Michael the night that girl was
attacked.

Next to Michael Harris?

Yeah, I got ten other people who can
verify that.

Hanick's arrest... It was in the papers.

Why didn't you say something?

I can't believe Hanek would rather sit
in the cooler on an attempted murder

charge than, you know, come forward.

I can.

I can believe it.

Well, let us follow up on your
information.

Thank you. We appreciate your help.

It's for Dr. Hanek.

He suffers enough.

The question was asked if Suetonius will
be on the final. The answer is yes.

Michael Harris.

Yes.

May we talk to you?

I have a class to attend across campus.

We've come to school today to hopefully
learn a few things, too.

Am I being accused of something?

Not at all.

We're wondering if you've ever been in a
club known as Le Bon Ton.

That sounds like an accusation to me.

It sounds like you're familiar with the
place to me.

I'm not trying to be difficult.

That's my personal business.

You're absolutely right.

And there's no problem with it.

Unless you were in the club with Dr.
Hanick last Friday night while Julia

was being assaulted.

I was alone.

There's ten people who say he was with
you.

Look, we don't like holding innocent men
in our jail, so why don't you just tell

us the truth?

I made a promise.

Can you tell us about that?

The hotel information that Gerald wrote
down.

He and I went together last weekend.

We caught a train after we left the
club.

Why did you give it to Julia?

Were you afraid something was going to
happen to you? No.

No, I was afraid for her.

Julia and I were... are... best of
friends.

We knew everything about each other.

She told me that she was going to break
up with her boyfriend that night.

Brian Gibson.

I gave her the hotel information in case
she needed to talk.

And I knew that I could trust her with
my secret.

I feel it somehow.

It's my fault. They both got hurt.

I feel you just helped them both.

We'll bring Ryan Gibson in for
questioning.

Michael told you everything.

He didn't betray you.

No.

No, I betrayed myself.

I have a wife, a family.

I can't hurt them like this.

There have been too many lies.

So I won't lie, Doctor.

But I can keep the specific details of
your release discreet.

But by doing that, your innocence might
always be questioned.

This has been a highly publicized case,
and some people are going to be

downright mad that you got away if they
don't have the whole story.

It could make life harder.

I understand.

Are you certain you don't want to be
open?

Commissioner Scali, I'm a student of
history.

And one thing I've learned is that every
human being has something they feel

they must hide.

The great people, as well as the small
people.

Let's just skip the wedding and go right
to divorce.

What is the big deal here?

Just because I want blue and orange as a
color scheme?

Dan, that may be okay for the Mets, but
for a wedding... It's supposed to look

real. That's why we're going through
this hell in the first place. Okay,

I'll lose the pinstripe tuxedos. I was
just joking anyway.

Come on, you two. Every couple goes
through this when they're getting

We're not getting married!

You know what I mean.

Did you and the boss fight like this
when you were planning your wedding?

Come to think of it, Tony had the nerve
to invite Francesca Rivoli to our

wedding, and he knew that she had the
hots for him. Can you believe that?

So? What's the problem?

He invited this Francesca tramp.

So? No, she had the hots for him,
Stanley.

So what's he going to do, make out with
her at the reception? He was marrying

you. This from a man who wanted a blue
and orange color scheme. No, you should

have seen the china pattern he picked
out. Oh, okay, okay. Forget it. Forget

I'm out.

I'm out. Just tell me when to show up at
the wedding.

It'll only be a little while longer,
Sandra.

Yes.

Yes, it feels good to bury myself in
work again.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'll see you soon, dear.

I love you, too.

This is for Julia Green.

Oh, no.

This is my fault.

I was as bad as that vigilante.

I needed to nail somebody so bad, I
acted without having the whole story.

don't start with that.

Hannah kept the story from you.

Look, Tony, you were right to bring him
in.

You were right to let him go, too.

What happened before or after, that's
out of your hands.

I keep thinking about him saying
everyone's got a secret.

Well, Hanning pretty much took his with
him.

I can't help feeling the secret took
him.

Where's Ryan Gibson?

Can't find him.

Rose and Hartley are out looking for him
now.

Tony, a Mr. Tibbets from the television
station would like to speak to you in

your office.

He seems pretty shook up.

a clear enough look at the guy to make
an ID.

You've got every right to say I told you
so.

In this case, that's nothing to be proud
of.

Anyone else at the station know about
this?

No, I always screen them alone.

Does he call you to let you know what's
coming?

No, I know it's him because the packages
are all alike.

The same wrapping, same brand of tape.

He's got a style.

Yeah, some style.

For truth, justice, and high ratings.

Oh, we'd get numbers as high as Timothy
Leary if we aired that. We'd go

national.

Of course, I would never air that tape.

No, you won't air that tape.

But you will air a tape.

This guy sees himself as a celebrity.

And he thinks others see him as a hero.

And this tape?

He believes it's his ultimate
performance.

How would he feel if his artistic vision
was meddled with?

Can we borrow some equipment?

Sure. You want to edit the tape?

No. I think this tape here needs an
entire rewrite.

Cut!

Great scream, honey.

I think I got a better one in me. No,
that was beautiful, honey. Oh, thanks.

I'm glad I got this part on talent and
not because I fooled around with the

director.

Okay.

Now, in this scene, you walk into your
car. You just had a long day.

Suddenly, a mugger.

You scream.

Okay? Everyone got the script?

Okay, let's do it.

I forgot my line.

You forgot don't move?

Right, right, I got it. Don't move.

Don't bother.

Rose, you're mugger number one. Lopez,
you're mugger number two.

I'd be more comfortable as mugger number
two.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Okay, video vigilante, take two.

Look, father, this whole marriage is a
sting operation, right?

But if you're a real father and we
exchange vows, well...

Stan and I aren't really going to be
attached, are we? You know, like in

eyes. I think God will have his eyes
closed to this ceremony, Carmela. Oh,

that's a relief.

No offense, Stan.

Speaking of vows, would you two prefer
something traditional, or is there a vow

that is more pertinent to your taste?

Well, I don't know if this is the right
situation, sir, but I'd like to ask your

opinion about something.

See, getting married is the most
important thing in the world to me.

And being a police officer is the next
most important thing. And for a while

now, I had this vow in mind that would
kind of meld the two.

Meld? Yeah. So I'd like to try it on
you, and maybe you can give me some

some pointers for future reference. You
too, Carmela, you can... It's called

a policeman's wedding vow.

It goes like this.

You have the right to never remain
silent.

Anything you say can and will be used to
deepen our relationship.

I hope we never, never need an attorney.

If you feel one is necessary, my heart
will be broken.

Do you understand these rights as I have
read them to you?

That's it.

That's beautiful, Stanley.

Oh, great.

I don't know whether to put a ring on
his finger or cuff him.

We picked him up this morning outside
his frat house.

Give us five minutes to put a scare on
him.

Soften him up.

Then when I think he's ready, I'll give
you the signal.

How you been?

Good.

School's good?

Yeah, yeah.

Good.

Do you know why you were brought in for
questioning?

I told you everything I know about
Julia. That's right.

In fact, you said, sometimes I close my
eyes and I see

myself just wailing on the guy who did
this.

No way.

Did you ever have a class with Dr.
Hanick?

Where were you last night?

Around 8 .30.

Where? I was in my room.

I had a final. I was studying. I swear
to God.

Anybody there to see you?

I'm sure somebody saw me.

Oh, come on. I like the guy. He gave me
an A in his class.

You had a motive.

Revenge. No alibi.

Yeah.

Commissioner Scali, please.

This is he.

Commissioner, this is Dr. Heisinger from
the hospital.

You told me to call if there was any
change in Julia Green's condition.

Yeah? Well, this morning, Julia regained
consciousness.

Her signs are stable.

She said she'd like to talk to you.

Thank you, Doctor. We'll be right there.

That's really good news.

Yeah.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't we do this later?

We're going to go talk to her.

Hey, why don't you come with us?

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Don't you want to be there when she
tells us who beat her up?

I would think you'd want to go,
considering you've never been.

I've been there.

We kept a visitor's log. How many more
lies do I have to catch you with?

No more. You're going to find out in an
hour anyway.

She wanted to break up with me.

I freaked out.

I didn't know I had it in me, but...

I did that.

But I didn't kill Hennick.

I'm not going to jail for murder.

Yeah.

Caruso, enough.

Uh, no, boss.

This is for real.

The hospital just called.

You are going away for murder.

Julia Green just died.

Hey, Tony, we got the guy.

Video vigilante shows the unknown
crusader being thwarted in his latest

to fight crime.

Apparently biting off more than he can
chew, the home footage shows the

vigilante running away from the
assailants, though he appears to be

Of course, the identity of the video
vigilante remains a mystery. Local

emergency... Yes, put him through.

This is it. Start the trace.

What took him so long?

Hello, this is Wayne Tibbetts. What the
hell is going on?

I beg your pardon, who is... On the air.
That is not the tape I sent you. Is

this the video vigilante?

How could you do this to me?

Calm down. Don't get mad. You're my
bread and butter.

Just explain.

What's the problem?

Cellular.

I sent you a tape of my righteous
equalization of Professor Gerald Hanick.

I swear I never got it.

That would have been big news.

All I got was the tape that we aired.

I was worried about you. I figured you
were through.

No. No, I just got started.

Good.

Look, let me make it up to you.

How?

I got a source.

I can't say who, but he tipped me off on
a crime.

Something big.

It might be out of your league.

Hey, Tibbetts, you owe me.

Look, tomorrow night, we got word of a
heist.

It should make great footage.

Move back to the truck.

Now!

Freeze! Drop your weapon!

Freeze down on the ground, now!

This is your lucky day, boys.

Yeah, you're gonna be celebrities.

You're the next victims of the video
vigilante.

You're... You guys, get behind me.
You're blocking my light.

The video vigilante is here to prove
that crime doesn't pay.

You won't be back after these messages.

Freedom is right. I want everything by
the books, boys.

And smile.

We're on Tony visit.

You a friend of the bride or the groom?

Whichever. The girl.

Hey, it's my ring.

Family and friends, we are gathered here
today to celebrate the marriage of...

Carmela Teresa Antonio Pagan, and
Stanley Oliver Kelly.

Do you both take each other to be
lawfully wedded and to cherish in

till death do you part?

I do. By the powers vested in me by the
state of New York, I now pronounce

you...

the reception will follow immediately at
the state penitentiary.

Sir, you may now kiss the bride.

Do it and you never have children.
