All language subtitles for Life on Mars S01E07 The Man Who Sold the World

Hey, Sammy.

Look what I got you, pal.

I got you a new spaceship.

But I like my spaceship, Daddy.

Why'd you get him this one, too?

I like mine.

His birthday's not till Saturday.

You're not gonna have to work, are you?

Rose, I wouldn't miss Sammy's birthday
party for the world.

Promise.

And one day you can go to the moon.

Would you like that?

But only in my spaceship.

Only in your spaceship.

What's the matter, Tyler?

You had some job stakeouts? Make you
sleepy?

Can that be some boring?

Actually, I was hoping to wake up to
discover the institution of a proper

Alert system.

You're off your snots, Tyler.

Well, too bad the park ain't open. We
could pinch this kidnapper, hand Mr.

Crespain his baby, and go for funnel
cakes and lap dances with the bearded

That broad's still working?

Something tells me Wall Street wasn't
beckoning.

Well, let's hope baby Andrew is safe
wherever he is.

Baby Andrew's gonna be a dead baby,
Andrew, if we get made.

There's Daddy Crespain.

Got a bogey.

arrest for kidnapping.

Kidnapping?

Ma

'am,

why do you look so stricken?

It's about my father.

What about him?

He walked out on me and my mother this
year.

1973. He just disappeared from our
lives. We never heard from him again.

Where did he go?

I don't know.

Well, why did he go?

I have no idea.

Well, do you know anything, Sam?

He left town in the middle of my fourth
birthday party.

Before I even blew out the candles.

Well, he should be arrested for that
alone.

It's my birthday this Saturday.

The exact date he vanished in 1973.

Wait, so tomorrow's your birthday?

Yeah.

How old are you gonna be?

I'm serious.

So am I.

Sam, you're not gonna be four.

Am two.

Now you're acting like a four -year
-old.

Annie, after the car hit me and I
arrived here in 1973, I saw an image, a

my mother, wearing a red dress, being
chased through the woods.

Now...

I can't explain it, but I keep seeing
it, you know, over and over again.

Sam, maybe we should have a little
birthday party for you.

You know, I can make a cake.

Oh, I can't on Saturday because I have
to go to Lee's cousin's wedding, but,

well, maybe on Monday.

You're missing the point.

Maybe this is the reason why I'm here,
to figure out what happened to my

And to prevent my father from leaving.

Are you saying that that filthy
kidnapper is your father?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Happy birthday to me.

I was in an accident. I woke up in 1973.

I don't know how or why I'm here, but
whatever's happened, it's like I've

on a different planet.

Now maybe if I can work out the reason,
I can get home.

I swear to you, I had no idea this was
about a kidnapping.

I was just in the wrong place at the
wrong time. So says every criminal I've

ever arrested. I know nothing about a
baby. Yeah, right, and I got zero

in jacking up Bridget Bardot.

So, you dared to dream.

Think greener pastures, and when you
read about the Crest Payne's windfall,

planned your court.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you out
there.

Whoop.

Get off your rusty dusty and tell us
where that baby is.

You okay?

Yeah.

You know, I got a boy at home his name
is Sam. Yeah, I got a French bulldog at

home named Ollie. He drools like your
grandfather. Where we going with all the

noise? It's coincidence, that's all.

Chief Van Tyler's in my life.

I think I want to talk to my lawyer now.

And I think they ruined a perfect ass
when they put teeth in your head.

Look, you're a father and a parent, and
you love your son a lot, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I love my son very much. So what?

So how did a guy like that end up at
Coney Island in the early dawn

ransom? How did you get there?

It was supposed to be a simple
collection from a bookmaker. At least

I was told.

What do you mean?

I owe the people money. They're
threatening me and my family. Whose

The, uh, Pignato brothers.

Who the hell are the Pignato Brothers?

The Pignato Brothers are an up -and
-coming crew of the Lower East Side's

criminal underworld.

They were penny -ante hoodlums until
last year. Freddie Vanetti.

Freddie Vanetti. Who?

Freddie Vanetti was a small -time bookie
we found in a dumpster on Avenue C.

Wait, he's missing eyes, ears, and a
nose.

And hands and tongue.

You can't get in that photo.

Ah. Word on the street, the Pignatos
wanted it known if you cross them, you

violated one of their five senses.

They retaliate symbolically.

Tin snips.

They use tin snips to turn Freddy into a
potato head.

Do we know if the Crash Brains had any
business associations with the Pignatos?

Mr. Crash Brains said there were none.
That's exactly why we need to lean

on Vic Tyler.

This cretin's every shade a shady.

Keep shaking us around, we'll have a
dead baby on our hands.

Enter.

Mr. and Mrs. Crashpain are here.

Boss, maybe we should have Vic meet the
Crashpains face to face. What for?

Well, Vic's got his own family. If he's
got even an ounce of humanity, he'll be

more forthcoming in the presence of the
devastated parents.

What do you say, boss?

Get Vic Tyler.

But if this coffee class doesn't work,
know what happens next?

What? I break out the tin snips.

Mr. and Mrs. Crashpain, I know this is
extremely difficult for you. The

kidnappers threatened to do horrible
things to Andrew if we got the police

involved. We are working on this as fast
as we can. Trust me.

Vic Tyler?

These are Andrew Crashpain's parents.
Where's our baby, Mr. Tyler?

Where is he? Please.

We need him to come home.

I'm sorry. I have no idea. I can't help
you.

All right. Come here. Come here.

Detective Tyler, I'll do everything you
can. What if your son were kidnapped?

Huh?

Warrior's son. Can you imagine being
separated from him?

Can you imagine the heartbreak it would
cause you and your wife?

Look, I feel lousy about this. I really
do.

But the Pignatos are accountable for
that baby, not me.

But what if you take the fall?

What happens to your family?

Who provides for them?

All right, look.

I expect a phone call this afternoon at
2 o 'clock to arrange for the money

exchange. But that's all that I know.

The Pignatos don't know I got pinched.

Doing the right thing here.

Hey, look, anything just to put this
behind me, you know?

This Saturday is my boy's birthday.

I thought I'd party for him in the park.

Ice cream, cake, and a cowboy that comes
by and makes the funny animals out of

balloons.

I'd like to be there for that.

So, what's the plan, Sam?

Um, we'll wait for the call from the
Pignatos, and once they give you the

location on the money drop, we'll pick
from there.

This is our house.

Yes, it is.

Give me a minute to get this stick.

Never will.

I sell cleaning supplies for a living.

I'm on the road a lot.

Money's not great, but you plug away.

Make yourself a life.

I tried to lighten the load by making
some bets, you know? I made some bad

Couldn't pay them back. You know, so
they got me running these errands, these

low -level underlings. I figured, no big
shakes, right?

But look at me now. I got a cop in my
living room like I'm some common

waiting for you.

Frickin' psychos to call me.

Sorry.

It's okay.

We're gonna figure this out.

My wife, she made me quit the
cigarettes. You know, if I do these

help me during stressful times.

But you still once in a while sneak one
while she's at the grocery store, right?

I never said I was perfect, Sam.

You know, I got a real superstition
about these things, right?

Once you get a puzzle that you can't
solve, the key is always in the bottom

right -hand corner. And once you figure
that out, it just unfolds.

That's your superstition?

Your method? All that, and I pray to the
great God of Hendricks three times a

day.

I'm not really sure which one's working
for me, but I get by.

Rose. Hey, babe. This is, um...
Detective.

What are you doing here?

Oh, there's been a rash of neighborhood
break -ins lately, Mr. Tyler. I'm just

doing a routine canvas.

You two know each other?

Well, yeah. I used to kind of be in this
neighborhood, so... We met once,

briefly.

Oh. Let's see.

Honey, Sammy's asking for you.

Hey.

You want me to meet the little guy?

No, I'm good.

Detective Skywalker, right? Yeah.

What? Please, call me Luke.

What trouble is my husband in?

What makes you think he's in trouble?
No, like I said, there's been some break

-ins, and I... I think we left nice at
his door that night at the club.

Detective, please, I just want to know
the truth.

All right.

I had to ask him some questions about a
couple of things following police

protocol.

Please, don't worry.

If Vic is guilty of anything, it's
working too hard.

Missing time with his family.

Vic, if that were a crime, he'd...

He'd be on death row.

I understand your son has a big birthday
coming up.

Let me guess.

You bought him a big gym doll.

How could you possibly know that?

Well, you know, all the kids love him
these days, right?

I mean, you got the, uh, bulging bicep,
karate chop, and the test of strength

belt, right? What's not to love? I
mean... Oh, that reminds me. I have

Make sure that I have everything to bake
Sammy's cake for tomorrow.

Would you like something to drink?

No, thanks, Mom. Mrs. Tyler?

Raker brings up the ball.

Pass it to DeBuscher.

DeBuscher looks for Willis Reed, but
Reed's being double teamed, so Dave

Phil Jackson. Jackson finds Sammy Tyler
at the top of the key. Tyler shoots.

Nothing but net.

Man,

my kid's a big Knicks fan.

Sammy's in danger, isn't he?

Rose also.

I mean, the Pignatos are surely going to
come after them, but why wouldn't they?

And by blowing the whistle on them,
you're making me sign my family's death

warrant.

I'll do everything I can to protect
them.

I promise.

Yeah.

You know, Sammy, he wants to be an
astronaut.

Or a cop.

Who doesn't, right?

Got kids?

No.

Maybe someday.

Yeah, we'll take someone who knows.

There's no time like the present.

What... What's he like?

The boy?

Yeah, he's busy up in the head.

All that make -believe.

Takes after his father.

When things are rough, you know, I'm in
some Tidewater town.

Trying to hock my wares, and I can't
make a sale.

Sleeping in the back of a car, trying to
save money on a motel.

And I got to hear one more guy say,
sorry, not interested.

What I do to make things all right?

I tell myself, I say, I'm Sam's father.

I am Sam's father.

I'm in everything.

Every little thing.

It's okay, you know?

Um, I'm sorry, I just kind of... No, no,
it's, um...

It's what?

It's, well, it's... It's a game to five
and winner's out.

Hey,

high five.

What? High five.

Hey, how you doing?

High five, okay. My block.

No, no, baby, I got it, I got it.

One of the perks of being Irish, no hair
on the chest.

You okay?

Yeah? You sure you're not like one of
these guys who's a little bit light on

feet? What?

No. Yeah? No. Because ever since I met
you... No, no, no. You've been looking

me in a way that makes me just a little
bit nervous.

Yeah, no, that's part of my
investigative technique.

I study a man to... Is that what that
is?

Let me do this for you. You do that.

So, uh, we'll be outside the place
monitoring your wire.

As soon as we hear the money exchange go
down, we'll come blazing in and we'll

start racing them unaware about the
Christmas, baby.

It's normal to be scared.

I'm not going to let anything happen.

Yeah, well, you know, I only met the
Pignatos one time.

Mostly I just dealt with the middlemen,
you know? What are they like?

What are they like? Well, when I was a
kid growing up in Bensonhurst, right?

There was this one time we caught these
rats.

Big suckers, long pink tails like whips,
greasy hindquarters.

And we kept them.

We kept them in a junked -out icebox in
the basement.

After about a week of starving and all,
it's hard to chew their way out.

Right through the metal.

Yeah, I just happened to be there when
they did, you know, as their faces were

poking out.

The little jaws all bloody from the
effort.

Never in my life had I seen such a
maniacal rage, you know? That is until

I met Tommy and Angelo Pignato.

That was for a whole five seconds.

You know why they were pissed off, Sam?

Why?

Because of meth law.

Listen, if I die tonight... I'm not
going to let that happen. If it happens,

want you to deliver the news to Rose and
Sammy, okay?

Look, tomorrow, if everything you've
told us is true,

you've blown out the candles at Sammy's
fourth birthday. Okay, okay.

We're off to see the wizard.

These bills real?

The bills are real.

That's not my worry.

My worry is this guy for real.

He does it all night.

Okay. He's in.

He still don't know that it's your
birthday on Saturday. That's right.

You got any big plans?

I don't like birthdays, Chris.

Police? Not me. Not a chance.

No!

Listen to me.

Who did this to you? Who shot you?

That's a quarter, Sammy. That's yourself
out.

Remember, Sammy, if you can beat my high
score, I got a roofie of dum -dum

waiting for you.

Thanks, Uncle Butcher.

Who shot you?

Chris, take the apartments upstairs.

No one leaves this building.

Listen to me. Who shot you? Give me your
name.

Vic, you in here? Sam, down here.

I've been shot.

Careful, careful, please, careful.

Easy, easy, easy.

Let me see. Let me see.

Okay, okay.

Where's the briefcase?

They took it.

I don't know how they know I squealed.

Which way did they go?

I didn't see.

After they fired, they ran off and I
just shut my eyes because I thought that

they were going to... Come back and
finish the job.

Where are you, Tyler?

He's been shot.

I need to pick him up and get away with
the money before we can never... He's a

doctor, not an interrogation. We have to
find him.

And the baby.

Let's go. I'll be okay.

Stay put.

We're going to call an ambulance.

See anyone?

Nobody came out the back, but there's a
delivery door in the basement we didn't

know about. They might have went out
that way.

Chris, you all right?

It's baby Andrew.

I heard him crying from all the way down
the hall. Poor little guy probably

hasn't been fed all day.

So the loot says the DA's gonna drop the
charges.

I'm still embarrassed I got wrapped up
in any of this in the first place.

We never would have found the baby if
you hadn't risked everything to help us.

You did a good thing today.

Really good thing.

Okay.

I'm sure your son would be very proud of
what his father did today.

Hey, um...

I guess now you'll be able to go help
them blow out his candles.

Won't you?

Won't you, Vic?

Absolutely.

I wouldn't miss it.

Where'd you get your rocket?

Well, that was with them when we found
them.

Maybe one day you'll get to the moon
too, Samuel.

Not Andrews.

Probably we should vouch for that.

Did he say where he's going?

Who knows where he goes when he goes? I
don't.

Do you? No, I don't.

Detective, do you know what Vic is
wrapped up in?

No. I'm not sure, no.

You know what? I'm not surprised.

But I will say one thing. Since you
showed up here yesterday, Vic has been

more agitated than usual, and I would
like to know why that is.

I want you to promise me something.

Please.

Be careful.

There are some very bad men out there.
Who barge into strangers' homes whenever

they damn well please.

Yeah, I think I'm looking right at one.

Contrary to what you might think,
Detective, I don't always need saving.

I'm a big girl, and I can take care of
myself and my boy.

I know you can.

It's just... You're wearing a red dress.

My, Detective, what keen powers of
observation you have there.

Are you going to wear that today at
Sammy's birthday party in the park?

for you. What business is it of yours
what I wear to my son's birthday party?

Hello? It's me.

Listen, I need your help. Please, Annie.
Vic's been lying to me, to all of us

this entire time. He's involved somehow.

Can you keep an eye on Rose and little
Sammy while I sort this out?

Ma 'am, I promised Lee I would go to his
cousin's wedding today.

Look, it's just for a few hours, okay?

All right.

Thanks. Have Central raise me on the
radio if you need me.

Hey, Sam, be careful.

I'm worried about you.

I'm not the one you should be worried
about.

Talk to you later.

Uncle Butchie?

Only my friends call me that.

I'm a friend of Vic Tyler's. Do you know
him?

Sure I do. He comes in here with his kid
Sammy all the time. But I doubt I'll be

seeing him much now. Not after what
happened last night.

First rule of the world.

Don't make the wrong man mad.

Sam, are you there?

Yeah, I'm here. Where are you?

I'm at Sammy's birthday party at Rowan
Park, in the woods.

I'm on my way.

Keep an eye on them till I get there.

You see, Vic Tyler, do not approach him.

Radio me immediately.

I can't let him get away.

Not again.

But her mummy is yelling no.

And her dad keeps telling her to go.

But her friend is nowhere to be seen.

Now she walks through her sunken dream.

To the seats with the cleric's view.

And she's hooked to the silver screen.

But the film is a saddening fall.

Well, she's lived 15 times or more.

She could spit in the eyes of fools.

As they ask her to focus on me.

Fighting in the dance hall.

Oh, man.

Look at those gay men go.

Annie, I've lost Tyler. You got him?

Annie,

ten -five that. You break it up.

No, no, listen to me. Annie, do not
follow him. He's dangerous.

Excuse me, sir.

Have you seen my dad?

I don't know where he is.

Go back to your mother.

I'm going to go and find your father.

Who do you think you are, spying on my
family?

Come here.

Stop!

You hurt?

Fine. I don't know if I can say the same
for him.

Go back to the party.

Radio for backup.

Sam. I need you to go back to the party,
Annie.

Now.

If you're not back in five minutes, I'm
coming back in.

I know, uh... I know how this looks,
Sam.

I left the station because I just didn't
think that you could protect me and my

family.

From the Pignatos.

David, I know the truth.

I know you were trying to flee.

I know you kidnapped that baby.

Come on. I wasn't going to hurt him.

Just trying to get a little extra money
so that my family could live

comfortably. I mean, you've got no idea
what it's like not being able to provide

for your family.

Can't use them as an excuse anymore,
Vic.

This was never about what your family
needs.

You weren't on the road being a
salesman. You were expanding your

concerns. You told my mother we were
broke so she wouldn't hassle you about

spending so much time away. Your mother.

What you're about to do, walking out on
your family like this, your son's going

to blame himself.

It's going to affect every meaningful
relationship he forms his entire life.

Let me tell you something, Sammy.

Everything that I do, why I started all
this in the first place, came out of a

need to take care of my family. No. To
make sure they were safe. My wife. No.

boy. Being a salesman.

It just didn't cut it. No.

Let the cop out. What do you know about
it? Huh?

It was my fourth birthday party here at
Rowan Park.

And I just watched you dance with my
mother.

And I was about to blow out the candles.

And I realized you weren't around.

So I followed you into the woods.

And I saw you beating a policewoman to
death.

You strangled her.

And you kicked her.

And you kicked her.

And then you fled.

And you never came back.

But I blocked it out.

I blocked it out until I came here.

Emory.

The memory was just too painful.

Tell me something, boy.

Did you have a good time at your fourth
birthday party?

No.

I didn't become an astronaut either.

Not me. Not a chance.

There are

no could not upright.

I could say yes, but that wouldn't be
telling the truth.

What's the truth?

Hey, you okay?

You're not gonna shoot me, Vic.

What makes you so sure?

Because that's not who you really are.

Yeah, maybe not.

But I'm not going to let you arrest me,
right?

I'm not going to have my boy knowing his
father's in prison for doing terrible

things. I can't do that, right? I mean,
I got to think of Sammy, right?

High five.

Bang, bang, shoot them up, destiny.

Bang, bang, shoot them up to the moon.

Bang, bang, shoot him up. One, two,
three.

I want to be a faith man.

That's what I want to be.

But now that I am a faith man, nobody
cares about me. Sam, can you hear me?

Do you know your name?

Sam Tyler.

Where are you, Sam?

Here.

What year is it?

I saw her running through the woods.

The one in the red dress?

What about her?

Thank you for saving my life.

You know, I thought this was the reason
I was here.

To stop my dad from leaving, but... I
think maybe it was to show me who he

really was.

I mean... What other reason could there
be?

You have no idea how much good you've
brought to the 125.

All the cases that you've worked on,
they're the reason you're here.

You should rest.

I left you some puzzle books on the
table.

Happy birthday, Sam.

When you get stuck on a puzzle that you
can't solve, the key is always in the

bottom right -hand corner.

All the cases you've worked on, they're
the reason you're here.

And you're here.

And you're here.

The key is always in the bottom right
-hand corner.

Once you figure that out, the mystery
just unfolds.

Never stay too near.
