Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,834 --> 00:00:02,127
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,252 --> 00:00:03,378
the people are represented
3
00:00:03,503 --> 00:00:06,131
by two separate
yet equally important groups:
4
00:00:06,214 --> 00:00:07,507
the police,
who investigate crime
5
00:00:07,632 --> 00:00:09,968
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:10,051 --> 00:00:13,596
These are their stories.
7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,015
I thought you said
you had a room.
8
00:00:16,099 --> 00:00:16,975
I said I had a place.
9
00:00:17,058 --> 00:00:18,560
Seriously, I've got
just enough for you
10
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:19,561
and then cab fare.
11
00:00:19,644 --> 00:00:21,021
No watch, no jewelry,
nothing.
12
00:00:21,146 --> 00:00:22,355
You think I want
to rob you.
13
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:23,857
I know I'm not going
near that bridge.
14
00:00:23,982 --> 00:00:25,859
Then here.
15
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:29,195
Come on.
It's freezing out.
16
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:31,031
I'll get you warm.
17
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:35,035
Like I said,
half and half.
18
00:00:36,453 --> 00:00:39,039
Mm.
19
00:00:40,582 --> 00:00:41,499
Ooh, God!
20
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:42,584
Oh, that's all right, baby.
21
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:44,044
That's okay.
No, it's not.
22
00:00:47,964 --> 00:00:50,050
Says he was partying
at some club nearby.
23
00:00:50,175 --> 00:00:52,052
Took a wrong turn home.
24
00:00:52,177 --> 00:00:53,053
I'd find that more
convincing
25
00:00:53,136 --> 00:00:54,054
if his fly was zipped.
26
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:55,055
So what's his story?
27
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:56,431
Well, I don't want
to touch him
28
00:00:56,514 --> 00:00:59,059
until the M.E. shows up,
but there's some blood
on the picnic table.
29
00:00:59,142 --> 00:01:01,519
Looks like he bopped his head.
30
00:01:01,603 --> 00:01:04,064
His head bump
is the least of his troubles.
31
00:01:04,189 --> 00:01:06,024
This guy's got lead poisoning.
32
00:01:06,107 --> 00:01:07,400
Any of the neighbors
hear shots?
33
00:01:07,525 --> 00:01:09,110
We just started
knocking on doors.
34
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:11,029
All right.
Tape off the area
35
00:01:11,112 --> 00:01:12,530
and start a canvass
for the murder weapon.
36
00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:13,573
You got it.
37
00:01:13,656 --> 00:01:14,574
Hey, Lenny.
38
00:01:14,699 --> 00:01:16,159
Whoa. High roller, huh?
39
00:01:16,242 --> 00:01:18,078
Separated by denomination.
40
00:01:18,203 --> 00:01:20,664
Looks like somebody
just knocked off
41
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:21,956
a street dealer.
42
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:22,916
Yeah, what a shame.
43
00:01:26,336 --> 00:01:30,173
Captioning sponsored by
UNIVERSAL NETWORK TELEVISION
44
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:14,467
The vic was Scott Giddins.
45
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:16,094
That supposed
to mean something?
46
00:02:16,219 --> 00:02:18,054
BCI had his prints
on file.
47
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:20,098
Five arrests
in three years
48
00:02:20,181 --> 00:02:21,057
all narcotics related.
49
00:02:21,182 --> 00:02:22,684
He could have won
a gold for skating.
50
00:02:22,767 --> 00:02:23,977
Not a drop of time.
51
00:02:24,102 --> 00:02:25,437
Any witnesses?
52
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:27,188
On woman heard two shots.
53
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:29,107
I, for one, admire
the shooter's restraint.
54
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:30,317
How's that?
55
00:02:30,442 --> 00:02:31,651
It's pretty hard
to get worked up
56
00:02:31,735 --> 00:02:32,944
over a dead drug dealer.
57
00:02:33,028 --> 00:02:35,739
How many times
do I have to remind you,
58
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:38,950
Detective Briscoe,
all life is sacred?
59
00:02:39,034 --> 00:02:40,243
Not when it peddles
the kind of crap
60
00:02:40,368 --> 00:02:41,369
our Mr. Giddins peddled.
61
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:43,330
Giddins lived around
the corner
62
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:44,497
from where he was shot.
63
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,541
Maybe we should
check out his place.
64
00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:50,003
You want to take a walk
through the projects?
65
00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:52,422
I said go away.
66
00:03:02,223 --> 00:03:04,225
Ed, I think we got
a problem.
67
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:07,228
Yeah, I need a bus.
68
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:08,563
Breathing's shallow.
69
00:03:08,646 --> 00:03:09,898
Possible overdose.
70
00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:11,608
Tell them it's a rush.
71
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,196
Look, I'm not a crack whore
72
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:17,489
if that's what you're thinking.
73
00:03:17,572 --> 00:03:18,657
How old are you?
74
00:03:18,782 --> 00:03:20,367
Old enough to party
with who I want.
75
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:21,534
Like Scott Giddins?
76
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:22,494
That's right.
77
00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:25,330
Hey, I don't care
one way or the other.
78
00:03:25,413 --> 00:03:28,416
He probably doesn't either,
being as how he's dead.
79
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:31,336
Look, I don't know
what's going down here.
80
00:03:31,419 --> 00:03:35,215
A few days ago my friend Ron
introduced me to this guy.
81
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:36,341
And you shacked up
with him?
82
00:03:36,424 --> 00:03:38,051
I needed a fix; he was dealing.
83
00:03:38,134 --> 00:03:43,223
Yeah, but the problem is, Gina,
when we knocked on your door
84
00:03:43,306 --> 00:03:44,432
you told us to go away
85
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:47,143
which tells me you thought
you knew who was knocking.
86
00:03:47,268 --> 00:03:50,271
What you wasting
your time for, Lenny?
87
00:03:50,397 --> 00:03:52,524
Just book her on possession
and move on.
88
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:53,525
Okay.
89
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:57,362
A guy came around,
maybe a couple days ago,
90
00:03:57,487 --> 00:03:59,447
kept banging on the door.
91
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:01,741
You get a look
at this guy?
92
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:02,617
Through the peephole.
93
00:04:02,701 --> 00:04:04,452
He's Puerto Rican or something.
94
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:05,829
Had this thing on his face
like a blotch.
95
00:04:05,954 --> 00:04:07,747
What you mean, blotch?
96
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:08,915
On his skin.
97
00:04:08,998 --> 00:04:10,333
This big red thing.
98
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:12,460
He kept saying
he was owed money.
99
00:04:12,544 --> 00:04:14,754
These were found
in your boyfriend's apartment.
100
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,132
The ER doctor didn't know
what they were.
101
00:04:17,215 --> 00:04:19,634
Do you?
102
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,428
Only he told me
if I touched them
103
00:04:21,511 --> 00:04:22,554
he'd break my legs.
104
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:24,764
It's Nazi Speed.
105
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:26,725
Also known as Ya Ba.
106
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,727
Like the "sisterhood."
107
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:29,644
That's Ya-Ya.
108
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:31,646
Ya Ba is Thai
for "crazy medicine."
109
00:04:31,771 --> 00:04:34,399
You ask me, you got to be crazy
to take it.
110
00:04:34,482 --> 00:04:37,485
One mad dose,
you flatline for sure.
111
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:40,655
Hey, you seen this guy
on any of your lists?
112
00:04:40,739 --> 00:04:41,614
Scotty...
113
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:42,532
What happened?
114
00:04:42,574 --> 00:04:44,534
He must have moved up
in the world.
115
00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:46,703
Ya Ba is not the easiest thing
to lay your hands on.
116
00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:49,497
So there's probably
a short list of suppliers.
117
00:04:49,581 --> 00:04:51,583
Yeah, and I'll be damned
if I know who they are.
118
00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:54,753
Well, actually,
you'll be damned if you don't.
119
00:04:54,836 --> 00:04:56,546
I heard a rumor
about some people scoring some
120
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:57,839
in a club
on the Lower East Side.
121
00:04:57,922 --> 00:04:59,674
Other than that,
I don't know how to help you.
122
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:02,343
Oh, it's a good thing
you're not Narcotics.
123
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:04,346
Oh, wait a minute.
You are Narcotics!
124
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:05,638
Hey, don't blame me,
all right?
125
00:05:05,764 --> 00:05:06,723
Blame the Mayor.
126
00:05:06,848 --> 00:05:07,682
Blame Osama.
127
00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:10,769
Half my unit's been redeployed.
128
00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:12,479
Anyway, this spot
on the lower east side.
129
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:13,605
Is that off the
Williamsburg Bridge?
130
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:14,773
Yeah, a place called
Gammaville.
131
00:05:14,856 --> 00:05:17,359
Smack in the middle
of the Latin Playboy turf.
132
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:19,361
They have a thriving
production business.
133
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:21,946
Gang unit should have
a file on these guys.
134
00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:23,531
Red blotch on the face.
135
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:25,825
That ain't no gang I.D.
I've ever seen.
136
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:28,453
Good thing you don't stick out
in a crowd, Juan.
137
00:05:28,536 --> 00:05:29,537
Might have taken us
138
00:05:29,621 --> 00:05:31,373
more than ten minutes
to find you.
139
00:05:31,456 --> 00:05:32,332
Find me for what?
140
00:05:32,457 --> 00:05:34,459
Murder of a dealer
named Scott Giddins.
141
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:35,460
Sorry, never met the guy.
142
00:05:35,543 --> 00:05:36,503
We have an eyewitness
143
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:38,505
who says you've
been banging on his door.
144
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:40,840
I doubt you were collecting
for the March of Dimes, Juan.
145
00:05:40,924 --> 00:05:43,510
Giddins owed you money
for dealing on Playboy turf?
146
00:05:43,593 --> 00:05:44,677
Then he ends up dead?
147
00:05:44,803 --> 00:05:47,514
Now, if you don't want
to connect the dots, we will.
148
00:05:47,597 --> 00:05:49,891
I'm not saying nothing.
149
00:05:49,974 --> 00:05:52,310
Suit yourself, bro.
150
00:05:52,394 --> 00:05:54,604
Come on.
Why you got to move so fast?
151
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:56,022
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
152
00:05:56,147 --> 00:05:57,732
Look, G was stalling me,
153
00:05:57,857 --> 00:06:01,361
but nobody from my house
laid a finger on the guy.
154
00:06:01,444 --> 00:06:02,362
He paid up.
155
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:04,489
Why would we pop G
over rent?
156
00:06:04,572 --> 00:06:05,865
Dude was a seller.
157
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:07,325
He printed money, man.
158
00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:08,994
The only reason why
G got popped
159
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:10,578
is because he's a pendejo.
160
00:06:10,662 --> 00:06:11,746
Didn't always think.
161
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:12,747
Pissed people off.
162
00:06:12,831 --> 00:06:13,832
What people?
163
00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:15,041
Local yokels.
164
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:17,419
This guy with a lead pipe
chases him for three blocks.
165
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:19,462
He sold some bad stuff
to his kid
166
00:06:19,587 --> 00:06:20,714
and kid o.d.'d, kicked.
167
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,966
This guy with a pipe
have a name?
168
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:24,259
Yeah, something Parker.
169
00:06:24,342 --> 00:06:25,760
Drives a Greyhound or something.
170
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:28,555
Oh, hey, hey.
171
00:06:28,638 --> 00:06:29,764
Where you guys going?
172
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:32,767
You going to give me a lift
back to my place, right?
173
00:06:37,856 --> 00:06:38,898
Takes 900 calls
174
00:06:38,982 --> 00:06:40,608
and finally you show up.
175
00:06:40,692 --> 00:06:41,568
Excuse me?
176
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:43,403
Those kids
across the street.
177
00:06:43,486 --> 00:06:44,529
Can't sleep
178
00:06:44,654 --> 00:06:46,906
with that damn boom box playing
day and night.
179
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:48,575
What do I pay taxes for?
180
00:06:48,658 --> 00:06:50,452
I'm sorry, ma'am.
We're not patrolmen.
181
00:06:50,535 --> 00:06:51,911
We're looking
for Bill Parker.
182
00:06:51,995 --> 00:06:52,871
We heard he lives here.
183
00:06:52,954 --> 00:06:54,622
Yeah, sure, drag off
the good guys.
184
00:06:54,706 --> 00:06:57,917
Your tax dollars
at work.
185
00:06:58,001 --> 00:06:59,544
Sorry about the mess.
186
00:06:59,669 --> 00:07:01,588
Oh, hey, I've been there.
187
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:02,797
So when's your
little girl due?
188
00:07:02,881 --> 00:07:06,718
In May.
How'd you know
it was a girl?
189
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:09,763
Our nursery had
candy stripes.
190
00:07:09,888 --> 00:07:12,307
This used to be
my son's room,
but, uh...
191
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:13,391
I know.
192
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:15,477
You lost him
about a year ago.
193
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,395
You hear about David?
194
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:21,441
No. This man was shot
a few blocks away from here.
195
00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:22,901
Do you recognize him?
196
00:07:23,026 --> 00:07:24,611
Could be anybody.
197
00:07:24,736 --> 00:07:26,696
Any reason why I should?
198
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:29,908
Take a closer look,
Mr. Parker.
199
00:07:31,534 --> 00:07:32,661
Hope to God he's dead.
200
00:07:32,744 --> 00:07:35,955
Sometimes the big guy
answers your prayers.
201
00:07:36,081 --> 00:07:38,917
You think I had
something to do with this?
202
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,876
In a perfect world,
203
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:41,836
I'd hold him down
while you smacked him
204
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,088
with that pipe
you chased him with.
205
00:07:43,171 --> 00:07:44,047
In a perfect world,
206
00:07:44,172 --> 00:07:46,925
Davey wouldn't be dead.
207
00:07:47,008 --> 00:07:47,926
In a perfect world,
208
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:50,428
the police would have arrested
that bastard
209
00:07:50,553 --> 00:07:52,180
and locked him up
forever.
210
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:54,015
Maybe I lost
my temper once,
211
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:57,519
but I didn't have
anything to do with this.
212
00:07:57,602 --> 00:07:58,770
Just for the record,
213
00:07:58,895 --> 00:08:01,523
where were you
on Wednesday night?
214
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:03,692
At our weekly meeting
down the block.
215
00:08:03,775 --> 00:08:06,611
St. Weston's--
the Neighborhood Watch.
216
00:08:07,904 --> 00:08:09,823
Unfortunately,
people don't join
the watch
217
00:08:09,906 --> 00:08:12,033
until after they've
been affected personally.
218
00:08:12,117 --> 00:08:14,995
It took Davey's death
to get Bill involved.
219
00:08:15,078 --> 00:08:15,995
So, what?
220
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:17,872
You guys just roam
the streets with weapons?
221
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:20,875
Flashlights.
We're prophylactic,
not punitive.
222
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:22,669
So what do you discuss
at these meetings,
223
00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:23,795
what kind of batteries
to use?
224
00:08:23,878 --> 00:08:25,839
Scheduling.
Who's available when.
225
00:08:25,922 --> 00:08:27,882
Bill Parker was at
the last meeting?
226
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:29,509
He brought the
soft drinks.
227
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:31,594
Good ol' Bill.
228
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,640
Do you know what kind
of hell he's gone through?
229
00:08:35,724 --> 00:08:36,891
His son died,
230
00:08:36,975 --> 00:08:39,978
and the man who killed him
was still out on the corner
231
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:40,979
selling poison.
232
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:43,565
Well, maybe instead
of carrying flashlights,
233
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:45,483
you should carry cell phones.
234
00:08:45,608 --> 00:08:47,777
Uh-huh. And call who, you?
235
00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:49,112
We've tried that,
thank you.
236
00:08:49,237 --> 00:08:51,823
You people seem
to have raised
the white flag
237
00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:53,825
on that War on Drugs,
but we can't.
238
00:08:53,908 --> 00:08:56,161
We live on the
battlefield.
239
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:57,704
Do you remember what time
240
00:08:57,787 --> 00:08:59,581
this meeting broke up
on Wednesday?
241
00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:00,665
Um, around 11:00.
242
00:09:00,749 --> 00:09:02,584
Why? What's this about?
243
00:09:02,709 --> 00:09:06,755
Well, let's just say
when the prophylactic
doesn't work
244
00:09:06,838 --> 00:09:08,089
we're the punitive.
245
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,594
How long do you think
it's going to take
246
00:09:12,677 --> 00:09:14,012
before Father Hogan
calls Bill Parker.
247
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:15,055
Isn't that his job?
248
00:09:15,138 --> 00:09:16,139
To cover up a murder?
249
00:09:16,264 --> 00:09:17,223
To offer consolation.
250
00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:18,850
Consolation
or congratulations?
251
00:09:18,975 --> 00:09:20,935
I mean, I got the feeling
this guy didn't mind
252
00:09:21,019 --> 00:09:23,772
if his parishioner's
ignored the Fifth Commandment.
253
00:09:23,855 --> 00:09:25,982
Well, I'm just wondering
if Moses would have had
254
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:28,526
the great good sense
to turn the other cheek
255
00:09:28,652 --> 00:09:29,903
in the case of somebody
like Mr. Giddins.
256
00:09:30,028 --> 00:09:31,905
Thou shalt not kill...
except drug dealers?
257
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:33,615
Once they sell
to kids, yeah.
258
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:35,575
That rewrite might be okay
to Moses
259
00:09:35,658 --> 00:09:36,951
but it ain't to Pataki.
260
00:09:37,077 --> 00:09:40,205
We should go see
if Bill Parker owned a piece.
261
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:41,206
Why don't you go ahead?
262
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:42,874
I got a couple of calls
I want to make.
263
00:09:42,957 --> 00:09:44,209
All right, man,
don't forget.
264
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:46,711
Moses don't sign your paycheck.
265
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:52,008
What is this?
266
00:09:52,133 --> 00:09:54,928
Get me drunk,
I'll confess
to something
267
00:09:55,011 --> 00:09:55,970
I didn't do?
268
00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:59,099
I just thought
we'd be more
comfortable here.
269
00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:02,185
I got a problem, Bill.
270
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:04,521
The cards are stacking
up against you.
271
00:10:04,646 --> 00:10:05,814
Now, my partner wants
272
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:07,899
to bring you in
for questioning, but...
273
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:10,068
You're looking
out for me.
274
00:10:10,151 --> 00:10:10,985
Well, the thing is,
275
00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:13,488
maybe I understand
the situation
276
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,156
a little better
than he does.
277
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:16,741
Maybe you know wallpaper,
278
00:10:16,825 --> 00:10:19,244
but you don't know anything
about my situation.
279
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:23,999
I know the world's
a better place
280
00:10:24,082 --> 00:10:25,792
now that Scott Giddins
isn't in it.
281
00:10:25,917 --> 00:10:30,130
Where were you
before Davey died?
282
00:10:30,213 --> 00:10:32,841
Where was anybody after?
283
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:35,510
Knowing and proving
it in court
284
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:38,013
are two different things.
285
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:44,769
She was 24.
286
00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:48,106
A guy like Giddins killed her.
287
00:10:50,775 --> 00:10:52,777
Did he go to jail?
288
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:56,865
Yeah.
289
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:00,493
The thing is,
290
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:03,872
I get up every morning,
I brush my teeth,
291
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:07,000
I shave, and I kick myself
292
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:10,211
for not putting a .38
between his eyes.
293
00:11:12,130 --> 00:11:13,131
Maybe then...
294
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:15,050
Do not say "closure."
295
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:17,218
No such thing.
296
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:24,059
This is great.
297
00:11:24,142 --> 00:11:28,813
My kid dies and no one
lifts a finger.
298
00:11:28,897 --> 00:11:30,065
Someone kills this creep,
299
00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:32,067
here you are,
with a thousand questions.
300
00:11:35,278 --> 00:11:38,239
Not a thousand, Bill...
301
00:11:38,323 --> 00:11:40,116
just one.
302
00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:49,250
uy wants to.
303
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:51,211
He wants to call a press
conference and shout,
304
00:11:51,294 --> 00:11:52,087
"I killed the bastard!"
305
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:53,171
I almost had him.
306
00:11:53,254 --> 00:11:55,382
Yeah, and if you did,
it would send our case
307
00:11:55,507 --> 00:11:57,217
directly down the crapper.
308
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:59,427
Come on, we were just two
guys sitting at a bar.
309
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,346
Yeah, but when
one of those guys
310
00:12:01,471 --> 00:12:03,556
is a detective
investigating a murder,
311
00:12:03,682 --> 00:12:06,476
the other guy gets to have
his rights read to him.
312
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,311
Unless...
Unless
what, Ed?
313
00:12:08,395 --> 00:12:10,313
You think I tried to dump
the case against Parker?
314
00:12:10,397 --> 00:12:12,107
I wasn't going
to say that, Lennie,
315
00:12:12,190 --> 00:12:13,441
but since we're
on the topic-- a bar?
316
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:15,652
A first-year legal aide can
get that confession tossed out
317
00:12:15,777 --> 00:12:18,279
for I can think of at least ten
reasons off the top of my head.
318
00:12:18,363 --> 00:12:21,116
Well, then I guess I'm lucky
he didn't confess.
319
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:22,534
Do you want this guy to walk?
320
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:24,911
No, but I
can't blame him
321
00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:26,329
for taking care of the scum
322
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:28,456
we didn't do anything
about for a year.
323
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:31,626
Well, why do you suppose
Parker waited so long?
324
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:35,130
Hey, he tried the good-citizen
route. It didn't work.
325
00:12:35,255 --> 00:12:37,215
You know,
maybe something happened
326
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:38,883
at that
Neighborhood Watch meeting
327
00:12:38,967 --> 00:12:40,343
that set him off.
328
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:45,515
It was pretty routine.
329
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:48,476
Talked about patrol shifts,
scraping together money
330
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,895
for a set of Nextels,
some gang tags spotted
331
00:12:50,979 --> 00:12:53,189
over at Jefferson Middle School.
332
00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:55,358
Nothing that would
make Bill blow a gasket.
333
00:12:55,442 --> 00:12:56,693
Jefferson Middle School--
334
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:58,862
isn't that
where David Parker went?
335
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,113
Our boys played
336
00:13:00,238 --> 00:13:01,239
hoops together.
337
00:13:01,322 --> 00:13:03,325
Davie had a hell
of an outside shot.
338
00:13:03,450 --> 00:13:05,285
Look, I know
where you're headed,
339
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:07,120
but there's nothing there.
340
00:13:07,245 --> 00:13:08,830
No way Bill could have killed
341
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:09,873
that lowlife dealer.
342
00:13:09,998 --> 00:13:11,124
And you're so positive
343
00:13:11,249 --> 00:13:12,250
because you're tight with him?
344
00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:13,293
I'm positive
because
345
00:13:13,418 --> 00:13:16,087
after the meeting broke up...
346
00:13:16,171 --> 00:13:18,131
I walked Bill home.
347
00:13:18,256 --> 00:13:19,591
Funny he didn't mention that.
348
00:13:19,674 --> 00:13:20,800
Yeah, well,
349
00:13:20,884 --> 00:13:22,552
maybe you didn't ask.
350
00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:26,222
If this guy did his job
as bad as he lies,
351
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:27,766
he wouldn't be able
to pick his nose.
352
00:13:27,849 --> 00:13:29,517
Anyway, I'm thinking
that the mention
353
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:31,102
of Davie's old
school might have
354
00:13:31,227 --> 00:13:32,187
stirred up
some memories.
355
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:34,272
Couple of weeks ago,
I'm sitting in this joint
356
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:36,274
on the East Side
having a hamburger.
357
00:13:36,358 --> 00:13:38,193
A guy sits down
at the table next to me,
358
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:39,152
and I blurt out, "Ron!"
359
00:13:39,235 --> 00:13:40,236
Who you talking about?
360
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,654
Lichtenstein from
the One-Six?
361
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:43,782
Ron Darling
from the '86 Mets.
362
00:13:43,865 --> 00:13:46,284
You know what
my first thought was?
363
00:13:46,368 --> 00:13:47,952
"I gotta call Cathy."
364
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:50,163
She always had a thing for him.
365
00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:51,831
She's been gone six years.
366
00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:56,169
I don't know-- you lose a kid,
everything stirs up memories.
367
00:13:56,294 --> 00:13:58,630
So, if we find one person
from that meeting
368
00:13:58,713 --> 00:14:01,800
who contradicts Mr. Locksmith,
we can threaten him
369
00:14:01,883 --> 00:14:04,177
with obstruction,
force him to flip.
370
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:05,178
Yeah, but he probably
371
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:07,180
speed-dialed every
member of the Watch
372
00:14:07,305 --> 00:14:08,306
before we even
hit the street,
373
00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:10,683
meaning 25 more versions
of the same damn story.
374
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:13,186
So we find one non-member
who saw Parker come home.
375
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:14,687
Between 11:00
and midnight?
376
00:14:14,771 --> 00:14:17,232
Most people are
watching Leno
or asleep.
377
00:14:17,315 --> 00:14:19,901
Not with that damn
boom box going day and night.
378
00:14:22,278 --> 00:14:23,154
Why would we remember
379
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:24,072
what happened
last Wednesday?
380
00:14:24,155 --> 00:14:25,907
Because some old lady
couldn't sleep
381
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:27,117
on account of this boom box.
382
00:14:27,158 --> 00:14:30,537
Now, being public servants,
we can confiscate this thing
383
00:14:30,662 --> 00:14:32,247
as a public nuisance.
384
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:34,332
What time you talking
about Wednesday?
385
00:14:34,416 --> 00:14:36,334
It's between
11:00 and 11:30.
386
00:14:36,418 --> 00:14:37,544
Can't help you.
387
00:14:37,669 --> 00:14:39,462
All right, Ed, read
the box its rights.
388
00:14:39,546 --> 00:14:41,548
Hold on, hold on, hold
on. Wait a minute.
389
00:14:41,673 --> 00:14:43,550
What he means is,
we can't help you
390
00:14:43,633 --> 00:14:45,844
because, you know, we
went to get some eats.
391
00:14:45,969 --> 00:14:48,471
Didn't get back till
around, like, midnight.
392
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:50,890
Davie's dad, he's a
bus driver or something.
393
00:14:51,015 --> 00:14:52,267
Right?
Yeah.
394
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:53,393
We saw him
when we got back
395
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:54,394
from the bodega.
396
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:55,437
At midnight.
397
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,396
Yeah, at midnight.
398
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:57,772
That's how I remember.
399
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,858
I saw him walking
some priest out.
400
00:14:59,983 --> 00:15:03,236
All right.
401
00:15:03,361 --> 00:15:04,404
That's funny.
402
00:15:04,529 --> 00:15:08,033
Father Hogan never mentioned
a midnight house call.
403
00:15:08,116 --> 00:15:09,826
Confessions R Us-- we deliver.
404
00:15:10,869 --> 00:15:11,619
I'm sure you know
405
00:15:11,703 --> 00:15:13,413
I'm not at liberty to discuss
406
00:15:13,538 --> 00:15:15,290
conversations I have
with my parishioners.
407
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:16,541
Does that include lying
408
00:15:16,666 --> 00:15:19,252
about whether the conversations
ever took place?
409
00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:23,381
You asked me
when Bill left,
410
00:15:23,465 --> 00:15:25,383
not whether I had seen
him later that evening.
411
00:15:25,467 --> 00:15:27,302
You sure you want
to be splitting hairs
412
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:28,345
with the police, Father?
413
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:30,805
No, no, I respect
the law, Detective.
414
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:33,767
But until the Vatican
tells me otherwise,
415
00:15:33,892 --> 00:15:36,811
any conversation I have
with a congregant
416
00:15:36,895 --> 00:15:39,355
remains between them,
me and God.
417
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:42,400
All right, well, if God
happens to tell you
418
00:15:42,484 --> 00:15:43,735
how Bill Parker
got a gun,
419
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:45,904
would you please
give us a call?
420
00:15:46,029 --> 00:15:48,448
'Cause however he got it,
it wasn't legal.
421
00:15:48,531 --> 00:15:49,908
Thank you, Father.
422
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:52,619
The other day
I took a cab to the squad.
423
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:55,288
What's that, 40 bucks
from your place?
424
00:15:55,413 --> 00:15:57,290
I didn't say
I was at my place.
425
00:15:57,415 --> 00:15:59,501
Anyway, the point is,
the driver had a piece
426
00:15:59,626 --> 00:16:01,544
right out in the open
on the seat next to him.
427
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:02,712
Oh, and you're thinking,
428
00:16:02,796 --> 00:16:04,422
bus drivers do
the same thing.
429
00:16:04,506 --> 00:16:06,216
Hey, what country
do you live in?
430
00:16:08,426 --> 00:16:10,678
Port Authority policy prohibits
431
00:16:10,762 --> 00:16:13,807
drivers from carrying
firearms of any kind.
432
00:16:13,932 --> 00:16:16,476
So what would you do if you
found a driver was packing?
433
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:17,686
I wouldn't.
434
00:16:17,769 --> 00:16:19,646
Well, what
about passengers?
435
00:16:19,729 --> 00:16:21,856
Is it like boarding
an airplane?
436
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:24,317
Some bus companies
search passengers at random.
437
00:16:24,442 --> 00:16:26,361
Guy sees that happening,
he ditches the gun
438
00:16:26,486 --> 00:16:27,862
in the men's room,
the garbage, whatever.
439
00:16:27,988 --> 00:16:29,864
You know, you could
take on all of al-Qaeda
440
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:31,491
with the crap
these companies find.
441
00:16:31,616 --> 00:16:32,701
What do you do
442
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:33,952
with the weapons
they confiscate?
443
00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:34,953
Evidence locker.
444
00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:36,496
Suppose I'm a driver,
445
00:16:36,621 --> 00:16:38,456
could I get into that locker?
446
00:16:38,540 --> 00:16:39,958
Only way in is if you had
447
00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:42,711
one of these special-issue
non-repro keys.
448
00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:45,630
Or a friend
who could pick a lock.
449
00:16:45,714 --> 00:16:48,550
The fact is, we had
a hiccup last week.
450
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:50,885
A .44 was, uh, misplaced.
451
00:16:52,762 --> 00:16:54,597
Sounds like
probable cause to me.
452
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,477
You get out of
my boy's room.
453
00:16:59,561 --> 00:17:01,479
I'm sorry, Mr. Parker,
the search warrant
454
00:17:01,563 --> 00:17:03,356
authorizes us to search
the entire apartment.
455
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,524
What could you
possibly think
456
00:17:04,649 --> 00:17:06,026
that you'll find in here?
457
00:17:06,109 --> 00:17:07,318
A revolver.
458
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,904
Do you really think that I would
hide a gun in David's room?
459
00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:13,867
Hey, Ed, remember what this
looked like two days ago?
460
00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:16,202
Ours took a week to finish.
461
00:17:16,286 --> 00:17:19,164
Officer,
we're gonna need
462
00:17:19,247 --> 00:17:20,915
to break through this Sheetrock.
463
00:17:30,508 --> 00:17:33,887
More insulation.
464
00:17:34,012 --> 00:17:35,722
Uh-uh-uh.
465
00:17:41,603 --> 00:17:44,439
The .44-caliber kind.
466
00:17:44,522 --> 00:17:45,774
William Parker,
you're under arrest
467
00:17:45,857 --> 00:17:47,567
for the murder of Scott Giddins.
468
00:17:47,692 --> 00:17:49,736
You have the right
to remain silent.
469
00:17:49,819 --> 00:17:52,739
Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.
470
00:17:56,117 --> 00:17:58,620
I understand why you lied
471
00:17:58,703 --> 00:17:59,704
to me before, Bill.
472
00:17:59,829 --> 00:18:01,915
Nobody wants to go to jail,
473
00:18:01,998 --> 00:18:06,628
not with a little girl
on the way
474
00:18:06,711 --> 00:18:08,630
but you gotta know,
475
00:18:08,713 --> 00:18:13,134
if the slug that we took
from that dealer's body
476
00:18:13,218 --> 00:18:14,928
came from that gun,
477
00:18:15,011 --> 00:18:19,099
you're gonna miss
your girl's first steps,
478
00:18:19,182 --> 00:18:24,646
her first communion,
her confirmation.
479
00:18:24,729 --> 00:18:27,857
If I was you,
I'd try to help myself.
480
00:18:31,111 --> 00:18:32,779
He killed Davie.
481
00:18:32,904 --> 00:18:38,660
That's right, he did,
but guys like him,
482
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:42,247
they don't stop
with just one death.
483
00:18:42,330 --> 00:18:44,624
Guys like Giddins,
484
00:18:44,749 --> 00:18:49,963
they've been known
to get violent,
get physical,
485
00:18:50,088 --> 00:18:52,757
been known to threaten
innocent citizens.
486
00:18:52,841 --> 00:18:55,760
Judges know that.
487
00:18:55,844 --> 00:18:59,681
So do juries and DAs.
488
00:18:59,764 --> 00:19:01,850
Hell, Bill,
people get let off
489
00:19:01,933 --> 00:19:04,894
on self-defense
every day of the week.
490
00:19:06,688 --> 00:19:09,899
You can take the cop
out of the father, but...
491
00:19:09,983 --> 00:19:12,110
The problem is, Giddins wasn't
armed when we found him.
492
00:19:13,194 --> 00:19:13,945
Lieutenant,
493
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:15,739
there's some priest here
named Hogan.
494
00:19:15,822 --> 00:19:17,657
Says he's got information
on the Giddins homicide.
495
00:19:17,782 --> 00:19:19,909
Send him in.
496
00:19:22,912 --> 00:19:25,165
Father.
497
00:19:25,248 --> 00:19:26,875
You have the wrong suspect
in custody.
498
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,086
All due respect, Father,
it's not looking that way.
499
00:19:30,211 --> 00:19:32,714
My detectives found
the murder weapon
500
00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:33,798
in his apartment.
501
00:19:33,882 --> 00:19:34,632
I can explain that.
502
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:36,885
Be careful,
Father Hogan.
503
00:19:36,968 --> 00:19:38,720
We have witnesses that put you
with the Parkers
504
00:19:38,803 --> 00:19:40,680
at the night of the murder,
so if he confessed to you
505
00:19:40,805 --> 00:19:42,515
and you're lying to protect him,
that's obstruction.
506
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,809
I'm not lying.
507
00:19:44,893 --> 00:19:47,228
Bill Parker didn't confess
to me.
508
00:19:47,312 --> 00:19:49,564
I confessed to him.
509
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:51,691
I killed Scott Giddins.
510
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:57,238
a sc.
511
00:19:57,364 --> 00:19:58,281
Did you know that?
512
00:19:58,365 --> 00:20:00,200
Uh, metalwork.
513
00:20:00,283 --> 00:20:03,745
He would take these pieces
of industrial steel--
514
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:05,413
just junk, really--
515
00:20:05,497 --> 00:20:10,502
and turn them into works
of great beauty.
516
00:20:10,627 --> 00:20:14,214
When David died,
he stopped.
517
00:20:14,339 --> 00:20:18,176
It was as if Scott Giddins
had ripped out his soul
518
00:20:18,259 --> 00:20:19,719
and stomped on it.
519
00:20:19,803 --> 00:20:22,097
I understand
why he'd seek vengeance.
520
00:20:22,222 --> 00:20:23,515
I reminded him
521
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,601
that he still had a wife
and a baby on the way.
522
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:29,312
But still he felt
that if he did nothing,
523
00:20:29,437 --> 00:20:31,606
he would be tortured
in this life,
524
00:20:31,690 --> 00:20:34,567
and if he acted,
he would be damned in the next.
525
00:20:34,651 --> 00:20:37,070
That's why I told him
to give me the gun.
526
00:20:37,153 --> 00:20:38,238
Hold on, Richard.
527
00:20:38,363 --> 00:20:39,614
No.
528
00:20:39,698 --> 00:20:41,574
I appreciate
your help, Jim.
529
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:44,411
This is something
I have to do.
530
00:20:46,204 --> 00:20:48,873
Bill Parker gave me his gun.
531
00:20:48,957 --> 00:20:50,083
This conversation is over.
532
00:20:50,208 --> 00:20:51,251
A week later,
I used it
533
00:20:51,376 --> 00:20:54,671
to kill Mr. Giddins.
534
00:20:56,715 --> 00:20:59,467
Where did it happen, Father?
535
00:20:59,551 --> 00:21:02,303
North of the Williamsburg
Bridge underpass.
536
00:21:02,387 --> 00:21:03,847
Do you recall
what Mr. Giddins was wearing?
537
00:21:03,972 --> 00:21:04,889
A leather jacket,
brown;
538
00:21:04,973 --> 00:21:07,225
blue jeans; a gray shirt.
539
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:09,644
I shot him in the stomach.
540
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,312
The police showed him
photos.
541
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:13,315
This man was a plague
on the Earth--
542
00:21:13,398 --> 00:21:16,609
a drug pusher
whose poison killed children.
543
00:21:16,735 --> 00:21:19,821
The police could arrest him,
but nobody
544
00:21:19,946 --> 00:21:22,282
could convict him.
545
00:21:22,407 --> 00:21:25,326
Why did you return the gun
to the Parkers?
546
00:21:25,452 --> 00:21:26,578
I went to the Parkers
547
00:21:26,703 --> 00:21:29,247
to tell them
justice had been done.
548
00:21:29,330 --> 00:21:31,249
He hid the gun to protect me.
549
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:32,709
You stop.
That's enough.
550
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:34,794
Now, you and Parker may think
you're being clever,
551
00:21:34,919 --> 00:21:36,921
but I'm not going to sit
in the front row
552
00:21:37,047 --> 00:21:38,256
while you
commit suicide.
553
00:21:38,339 --> 00:21:40,300
I'm still his counsel,
and I'm ending
554
00:21:40,383 --> 00:21:42,344
this interview
right now.
555
00:21:42,427 --> 00:21:44,346
Father Hogan's looking
556
00:21:44,429 --> 00:21:45,430
for martyrdom
or sainthood
557
00:21:45,555 --> 00:21:46,806
or whatever other
ridiculous thing
558
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:49,309
you get these days for
being entirely selfless.
559
00:21:49,392 --> 00:21:51,186
In the secular world,
I believe they call
560
00:21:51,311 --> 00:21:52,771
what he's looking for
"reasonable doubt."
561
00:21:52,896 --> 00:21:54,647
And this bogus
confession raises
562
00:21:54,773 --> 00:21:57,776
more than enough
for an acquittal.
563
00:21:57,859 --> 00:22:00,195
Unless we don't
charge Bill Parker.
564
00:22:00,278 --> 00:22:01,821
You want to indict
565
00:22:01,946 --> 00:22:03,365
Father Hogan?
566
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:04,866
Why not?
567
00:22:04,949 --> 00:22:06,284
He did confess.
568
00:22:06,368 --> 00:22:07,702
Oh, come on, Jack.
Whatever problems
569
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:09,704
you might personally
have with the Church...
570
00:22:09,788 --> 00:22:11,456
Have nothing to do
with this.
571
00:22:11,539 --> 00:22:13,750
I'm just proposing that,
if the two of you are right
572
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:16,127
and this is all a scheme
to confuse a jury,
573
00:22:16,211 --> 00:22:17,671
let's do an end run of our own.
574
00:22:17,754 --> 00:22:20,882
One confession,
one defendant,
no doubt.
575
00:22:20,965 --> 00:22:22,425
He's got a point.
576
00:22:22,509 --> 00:22:24,302
My guess--
by confessing
577
00:22:24,386 --> 00:22:26,012
to something
he didn't do,
578
00:22:26,137 --> 00:22:28,348
the padre's already scored
enough points
579
00:22:28,431 --> 00:22:30,308
to impress the pants
off St. Peter.
580
00:22:30,392 --> 00:22:32,435
And what if he doesn't feel
the same way?
581
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:33,853
We've got
about 20 hours
582
00:22:33,937 --> 00:22:35,855
before we have to charge them
or let them go.
583
00:22:35,939 --> 00:22:38,942
Now, if you want to come up
with another plan, be my guest.
584
00:22:39,025 --> 00:22:40,735
If you think
585
00:22:40,819 --> 00:22:43,321
I'm going to turn on my
husband, you're crazy.
586
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:44,656
That's not
why I'm here.
587
00:22:44,739 --> 00:22:48,159
Actually, I'm here
for Father Hogan.
588
00:22:48,243 --> 00:22:50,745
He sent you?
589
00:22:50,829 --> 00:22:52,205
In a way.
590
00:22:52,330 --> 00:22:55,458
He confessed to the crime.
591
00:22:55,542 --> 00:22:57,502
So, why is Bill
still in jail?
592
00:22:57,585 --> 00:22:59,421
Because it's
obvious to us
593
00:22:59,546 --> 00:23:02,882
that Father Hogan is lying
to protect him.
594
00:23:07,512 --> 00:23:09,848
Did Bill say he killed Giddins?
595
00:23:09,931 --> 00:23:11,057
He's scared.
596
00:23:11,141 --> 00:23:12,767
He hasn't said anything.
597
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:16,146
But he didn't say
Father Hogan did it?
598
00:23:16,271 --> 00:23:17,605
No.
599
00:23:18,857 --> 00:23:20,900
So, I can't do
anything then, can I?
600
00:23:21,026 --> 00:23:23,445
You can help me
to convince Father Hogan
601
00:23:23,570 --> 00:23:25,822
that there's a better way
to help your husband
602
00:23:25,947 --> 00:23:27,949
than by throwing
his own life away.
603
00:23:28,074 --> 00:23:29,284
I'm sure
you don't want
604
00:23:29,367 --> 00:23:31,202
the wrong man
to be convicted.
605
00:23:31,286 --> 00:23:32,078
I'm not asking you
606
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:33,580
to incriminate your husband,
607
00:23:33,705 --> 00:23:35,832
but if you could just
tell me anything.
608
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:37,250
You bastards.
609
00:23:37,375 --> 00:23:38,376
Bastards.
610
00:23:38,501 --> 00:23:40,420
If only you did your job,
611
00:23:40,545 --> 00:23:42,630
a good man like that
wouldn't have to...
612
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,427
He did it
for us,
613
00:23:47,552 --> 00:23:49,554
you know.
614
00:23:49,637 --> 00:23:52,932
He did it
so Bill wouldn't have to.
615
00:23:53,058 --> 00:23:54,225
Wait a minute.
616
00:23:54,309 --> 00:23:57,020
Are you saying that Father Hogan
did kill Scott Giddins?
617
00:24:03,026 --> 00:24:05,570
You'll be happy to know
that we released Bill Parker.
618
00:24:06,905 --> 00:24:07,614
Thank God.
619
00:24:07,697 --> 00:24:08,823
Oh, come on!
620
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:10,617
Jack, I'm not going to fall
for that.
621
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:12,285
None of us here wants
a trial, Father.
622
00:24:12,410 --> 00:24:15,080
We're prepared to accept your
confession and offer you a...
623
00:24:15,163 --> 00:24:16,331
I will not accept a deal.
624
00:24:16,414 --> 00:24:17,665
Richard,
please.
625
00:24:17,791 --> 00:24:20,293
Just go ahead and tell them
how you made up the whole thing.
626
00:24:20,418 --> 00:24:23,004
I don't think
he can do that, Jim.
627
00:24:23,129 --> 00:24:26,549
We found this jacket in the
Father's closet at the rectory.
628
00:24:26,674 --> 00:24:28,802
So, he has bad taste in clothes?
That's not a crime.
629
00:24:28,927 --> 00:24:30,804
The people in the
Neighborhood Watch
630
00:24:30,887 --> 00:24:32,639
wear them when they
go out at night.
631
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,311
The sleeve tested positive
for gunshot residue.
632
00:24:40,063 --> 00:24:43,650
I can offer you
ten years, Father.
633
00:24:46,486 --> 00:24:47,487
Give us
a minute.
634
00:24:47,570 --> 00:24:48,780
No, that won't be
necessary.
635
00:24:48,863 --> 00:24:50,657
You should listen
to your lawyer, sir.
636
00:24:50,740 --> 00:24:52,367
With the coat
and the confession,
637
00:24:52,450 --> 00:24:53,743
you don't stand a chance
with a jury.
638
00:24:53,868 --> 00:24:55,870
I will not plead guilty.
639
00:24:55,996 --> 00:24:57,872
Then you're looking
at 25 years to life.
640
00:24:57,956 --> 00:24:59,624
I confessed
to killing
Scott Giddins.
641
00:24:59,708 --> 00:25:03,211
I did not confess
to committing a crime.
642
00:25:03,294 --> 00:25:07,090
Killing is not a crime
when it's God's will.
643
00:25:11,594 --> 00:25:13,304
Is he serious?
644
00:25:13,388 --> 00:25:16,349
Here's Wheeler's Notice of
Affirmative Defense to prove it.
645
00:25:16,474 --> 00:25:17,308
Justification?
646
00:25:17,392 --> 00:25:20,311
"Yes, I killed,
but God told me to."
647
00:25:20,395 --> 00:25:21,730
Well, you got
to admit,
648
00:25:21,813 --> 00:25:24,607
it's a lot more creative
than "The Devil made me do it."
649
00:25:24,733 --> 00:25:28,028
Next stop,
virgin sacrifice.
650
00:25:28,111 --> 00:25:30,405
The fact is,
this country could use
651
00:25:30,530 --> 00:25:33,616
a double does of whatever God's
got on special today.
652
00:25:33,742 --> 00:25:35,827
Perhaps, but not
in a courtroom.
653
00:25:35,910 --> 00:25:37,370
Why not?
654
00:25:37,454 --> 00:25:39,497
Are we one nation under God?
655
00:25:39,622 --> 00:25:40,999
Don't tell me you believe
656
00:25:41,082 --> 00:25:43,460
Father Hogan's
"orders from above" defense.
657
00:25:43,543 --> 00:25:44,919
On the contrary.
658
00:25:45,045 --> 00:25:48,381
Goes against everything
I do believe.
659
00:25:50,884 --> 00:25:53,553
The law recognizes situations
660
00:25:53,636 --> 00:25:55,055
where killing
is justified--
661
00:25:55,138 --> 00:25:56,681
self-defense,
662
00:25:56,765 --> 00:25:58,600
defense of others,
the death penalty...
663
00:25:58,683 --> 00:26:00,226
And in all
of those instances,
664
00:26:00,352 --> 00:26:02,437
the use of deadly force
must be in response
665
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,564
to an imminent threat
and be reasonable.
666
00:26:04,647 --> 00:26:06,441
Here comes the part
where he tells you
667
00:26:06,566 --> 00:26:07,776
belief in God
isn't reasonable.
668
00:26:07,901 --> 00:26:09,027
A priest claiming
669
00:26:09,152 --> 00:26:10,445
he heard God?
670
00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:12,530
How does a jury determine
credibility?
671
00:26:12,614 --> 00:26:13,573
We ask juries
to dive
672
00:26:13,698 --> 00:26:16,326
into deeper deductive
waters all the time.
673
00:26:16,451 --> 00:26:19,496
We don't ask them to ponder
the existence of God.
674
00:26:19,579 --> 00:26:20,663
But we don't have to.
675
00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:23,375
The Court already
acknowledges His
existence.
676
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:24,709
"In God We Trust."
677
00:26:24,793 --> 00:26:26,586
That's the building,
not the law.
678
00:26:26,711 --> 00:26:28,046
My point is,
679
00:26:28,129 --> 00:26:31,841
how can both the Court
and the Legislature acknowledge
680
00:26:31,925 --> 00:26:34,469
the existence of God,
yet deny a defense
681
00:26:34,552 --> 00:26:35,929
premised on
that existence?
682
00:26:36,054 --> 00:26:37,722
If a layperson tried
to assert
683
00:26:37,806 --> 00:26:38,973
a God-told-me-to defense,
684
00:26:39,057 --> 00:26:41,559
the Court would render him
incompetent to stand trial.
685
00:26:41,643 --> 00:26:44,604
So, if you talk to God,
you're pious,
686
00:26:44,729 --> 00:26:47,273
and if He talks back,
you're crazy?
687
00:26:47,357 --> 00:26:48,650
You said it; I didn't.
688
00:26:48,775 --> 00:26:50,360
Well, then let's
give Father Hogan
689
00:26:50,485 --> 00:26:53,697
an Article 730 exam and see if
he's competent to stand trial.
690
00:26:54,656 --> 00:26:57,367
God bless.
691
00:26:58,576 --> 00:27:00,453
Do you believe in God,
Dr. Olivet?
692
00:27:01,997 --> 00:27:04,124
Yes.
693
00:27:04,207 --> 00:27:06,084
And yet you question
whether I'm crazy
694
00:27:06,167 --> 00:27:08,002
for claiming I received
His guidance.
695
00:27:08,086 --> 00:27:11,548
I'm simply
doing my job.
696
00:27:11,673 --> 00:27:15,301
I'm sure the Roman soldiers said
that, too,
697
00:27:15,427 --> 00:27:18,138
when nailing Jesus to the cross.
698
00:27:20,140 --> 00:27:22,142
Do you think of yourself
as Jesus?
699
00:27:22,225 --> 00:27:23,435
No.
700
00:27:24,269 --> 00:27:25,770
No, no.
701
00:27:25,854 --> 00:27:28,523
I'm just noting a parallel.
702
00:27:28,606 --> 00:27:32,027
Jesus could return tomorrow,
703
00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:34,654
and people would write him off
704
00:27:34,738 --> 00:27:38,199
as an illusionist,
the next David Blaine.
705
00:27:38,325 --> 00:27:40,952
Society has a habit
of explaining away miracles
706
00:27:41,077 --> 00:27:43,538
and then saying,
"God must not exist,
707
00:27:43,663 --> 00:27:45,957
because there are
no miracles."
708
00:27:46,041 --> 00:27:49,169
And you're going
to prove them wrong?
709
00:27:49,252 --> 00:27:52,672
I'm not on a crusade,
Dr. Olivet.
710
00:27:52,756 --> 00:27:55,550
A man was destroying
my community,
711
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:57,761
poisoning my neighbors.
712
00:27:57,844 --> 00:27:59,512
I prayed for guidance,
713
00:27:59,637 --> 00:28:03,767
and the guidance I received
was that I should kill him.
714
00:28:07,937 --> 00:28:09,731
At the time,
715
00:28:09,856 --> 00:28:12,692
did you know that it's wrong
to kill someone?
716
00:28:12,776 --> 00:28:15,528
I knew that killing
is usually wrong.
717
00:28:15,653 --> 00:28:20,158
I knew that my actions
were against the laws of man.
718
00:28:20,283 --> 00:28:23,161
And I...
719
00:28:23,244 --> 00:28:26,873
I knew that they were against
720
00:28:26,956 --> 00:28:29,667
every instinct I have
721
00:28:29,751 --> 00:28:31,252
as a human being.
722
00:28:31,378 --> 00:28:33,338
Then why did you do it?
723
00:28:33,421 --> 00:28:34,589
Because
724
00:28:34,673 --> 00:28:38,510
that's what God asked
of me.
725
00:28:38,635 --> 00:28:39,594
And you had
no choice
726
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:41,638
but to follow
His instructions?
727
00:28:41,763 --> 00:28:43,598
We all have a choice.
728
00:28:43,682 --> 00:28:47,060
We all know
what God expects of us.
729
00:28:47,143 --> 00:28:51,815
The question is,
are we strong enough to do it?
730
00:28:53,024 --> 00:28:55,777
He understands
the charges against him
731
00:28:55,860 --> 00:28:57,862
and is capable of aiding
in his defense.
732
00:28:57,988 --> 00:28:59,698
But he doesn't
seem to understand
733
00:28:59,781 --> 00:29:01,533
the difference
between right and wrong.
734
00:29:01,616 --> 00:29:02,617
On the contrary.
735
00:29:02,742 --> 00:29:04,786
He understands perfectly.
736
00:29:04,869 --> 00:29:07,080
He can't be wrong
if God told him to do it.
737
00:29:07,205 --> 00:29:09,582
And that's
not crazy?
738
00:29:09,708 --> 00:29:12,711
Father Hogan believes he gains
enlightenment through prayer.
739
00:29:12,794 --> 00:29:14,254
If that's crazy,
then half the world
740
00:29:14,379 --> 00:29:15,672
should be
committed.
741
00:29:15,755 --> 00:29:17,632
One man's delusion
is another man's faith.
742
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:19,718
And we're supposed
to convince a
bunch of jurors
743
00:29:19,843 --> 00:29:20,802
that they were delusional
744
00:29:20,885 --> 00:29:23,096
all those Sundays
that they went to church?
745
00:29:23,179 --> 00:29:25,807
No, you need to convince
Father Hogan
746
00:29:25,890 --> 00:29:28,018
to look reality in the eye.
747
00:29:29,728 --> 00:29:31,855
I understand
your predicament, Mr. McCoy.
748
00:29:31,938 --> 00:29:33,606
Do you understand
mine?
749
00:29:33,732 --> 00:29:34,774
Actually,
I do.
750
00:29:34,858 --> 00:29:36,735
I'd think it
would include
751
00:29:36,818 --> 00:29:38,820
a willingness to
accept punishment.
752
00:29:38,903 --> 00:29:40,822
I'm willing
to be punished,
753
00:29:40,905 --> 00:29:44,075
but what I'm not willing to do
is to plead guilty.
754
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,952
Are you sure you want
to do this, Father?
755
00:29:46,036 --> 00:29:47,829
Do you really want to
put religion on trial?
756
00:29:47,912 --> 00:29:49,122
Religion
is already
on trial.
757
00:29:49,205 --> 00:29:52,000
Islam is being tainted
by fanatics.
758
00:29:52,083 --> 00:29:53,918
Judaism is being threatened
759
00:29:54,002 --> 00:29:56,129
by the recent rise
in anti-Semitism.
760
00:29:56,254 --> 00:29:59,215
The Catholic Church is crippled
by a sex scandal.
761
00:29:59,299 --> 00:30:01,926
For the first time
in the world's history,
762
00:30:02,010 --> 00:30:03,970
three major faiths
are in crisis.
763
00:30:04,054 --> 00:30:05,346
Then perhaps that makes this
764
00:30:05,430 --> 00:30:07,849
the worst time in history
to challenge their validity.
765
00:30:07,932 --> 00:30:09,059
No, on the contrary.
766
00:30:09,184 --> 00:30:12,854
Maybe now, more than ever,
God wants us
767
00:30:12,979 --> 00:30:14,814
to reexamine
our faith.
768
00:30:14,898 --> 00:30:16,941
And if those are
the consequences
769
00:30:17,025 --> 00:30:20,320
of my defense, amen.
770
00:30:20,445 --> 00:30:22,655
And if you lose?
771
00:30:24,115 --> 00:30:28,328
Where did your faith go,
Ms. Southerlyn?
772
00:30:33,208 --> 00:30:34,876
You contact Bishop Durning?
773
00:30:34,959 --> 00:30:37,128
He'll be more than happy
to testify.
774
00:30:37,212 --> 00:30:38,171
Of course he will.
775
00:30:38,254 --> 00:30:39,255
He can't have murder
776
00:30:39,297 --> 00:30:42,967
added to the mounting list
of priestly iniquities.
777
00:30:43,051 --> 00:30:45,220
You're really enjoying this,
aren't you?
778
00:30:45,303 --> 00:30:47,347
There's nothing quite like
walking into a trial
779
00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:48,556
with an uncontested confession.
780
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,600
Yeah, that's what I thought.
781
00:30:50,725 --> 00:30:51,684
Smile, Serena.
782
00:30:51,810 --> 00:30:53,269
This is our Inherit the Wind.
783
00:30:53,395 --> 00:30:56,272
This is where we get to prove
in a court of law
784
00:30:56,356 --> 00:30:59,150
that there is no big guy
up there with a white beard
785
00:30:59,275 --> 00:31:00,986
pulling invisible strings.
786
00:31:01,069 --> 00:31:03,655
So what did those
nuns do to you?
787
00:31:03,738 --> 00:31:06,074
That's irrelevant.
788
00:31:06,157 --> 00:31:09,744
Anybody who knows that he knows
gets my hair up.
789
00:31:09,828 --> 00:31:11,830
If you want my
advice, Jack
790
00:31:11,913 --> 00:31:14,249
I think you should just let
Father Hogan's confession
791
00:31:14,332 --> 00:31:15,375
speak for itself.
792
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:16,418
No good can come out of
793
00:31:16,501 --> 00:31:18,002
debating religion.
794
00:31:18,128 --> 00:31:21,256
Maybe I should have
told that to the nuns.
795
00:31:24,676 --> 00:31:26,177
I thought he just took my gun
796
00:31:26,261 --> 00:31:31,141
to stop me from doing
something stupid.
797
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:34,352
I had no idea that he would
take matters into his own hands.
798
00:31:34,436 --> 00:31:38,022
So he didn't tell you beforehand
what his plans were?
799
00:31:38,106 --> 00:31:42,277
No.
I would have never let him.
800
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,154
Because even
through your grief
801
00:31:44,237 --> 00:31:46,990
you realized that
killing was wrong?
802
00:31:47,073 --> 00:31:51,536
I lost a child, Mr. McCoy.
803
00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:54,789
Do you have any idea
how much that hurts?
804
00:31:54,914 --> 00:31:57,250
It's like a knife in your heart
that won't go away.
805
00:32:00,295 --> 00:32:02,547
I'm sorry, Mr. Parker,
but I have to...
806
00:32:02,672 --> 00:32:06,176
I know.
807
00:32:06,301 --> 00:32:09,095
Please tell us about the night
Scott Giddins was murdered.
808
00:32:09,220 --> 00:32:11,222
It was late.
809
00:32:11,306 --> 00:32:12,640
Father Hogan
came to my apartment.
810
00:32:12,766 --> 00:32:14,309
That's when I noticed...
811
00:32:14,392 --> 00:32:16,644
There were little specks
of blood on his fingers.
812
00:32:16,770 --> 00:32:19,189
Did he tell you where
the blood came from?
813
00:32:19,314 --> 00:32:20,398
No.
814
00:32:20,482 --> 00:32:24,235
He didn't have to. I knew.
815
00:32:29,157 --> 00:32:31,701
Did Father Hogan tell you why
he killed Scott Giddins?
816
00:32:31,785 --> 00:32:36,664
He said that God wanted him
to do what man
817
00:32:36,790 --> 00:32:37,999
refused to do.
818
00:32:38,083 --> 00:32:40,251
That God wanted
that child killer
off the street.
819
00:32:40,335 --> 00:32:44,756
That He wanted to keep
our neighborhood safe.
820
00:32:44,839 --> 00:32:46,549
He wanted to ease the grief
821
00:32:46,674 --> 00:32:49,552
that Scott Giddins
caused my wife and me.
822
00:32:49,678 --> 00:32:52,430
And you believed him?
823
00:32:52,514 --> 00:32:54,057
Do I believe in God?
824
00:32:54,140 --> 00:32:59,270
Mr. Wheeler... Yes, I do.
825
00:32:59,354 --> 00:33:01,147
That's not what I asked,
Mr. Parker.
826
00:33:01,231 --> 00:33:02,857
What I want to know
is if you actually believe
827
00:33:02,941 --> 00:33:06,319
God put the gun
in Father Hogan's hand
828
00:33:06,403 --> 00:33:08,071
and told him to shoot.
829
00:33:08,196 --> 00:33:14,327
Nobody can prove to me
that He didn't.
830
00:33:22,419 --> 00:33:24,421
Although, the Church
doesn't condone violence
831
00:33:24,504 --> 00:33:27,382
God has historically been used
to justify murder--
832
00:33:27,465 --> 00:33:29,467
from the Crusades to 9-11--
833
00:33:29,551 --> 00:33:32,429
by men who believed they were
instruments of His will.
834
00:33:32,554 --> 00:33:35,724
But this belief is usually a
product of either mental illness
835
00:33:35,807 --> 00:33:39,936
geo-political ambition
or misinterpretation.
836
00:33:40,061 --> 00:33:44,357
Did you hear Dr. Olivet testify
that Father Hogan was sane?
837
00:33:44,482 --> 00:33:45,567
Yes.
838
00:33:45,650 --> 00:33:47,402
Do you have any evidence
to the contrary?
839
00:33:47,527 --> 00:33:48,862
No.
840
00:33:48,987 --> 00:33:51,364
Any evidence that
he's a political zealot?
841
00:33:51,448 --> 00:33:53,533
No, he's a good man.
842
00:33:53,658 --> 00:33:56,161
So under your paradigm
843
00:33:56,286 --> 00:33:59,539
if Father Hogan received
a message from the Almighty
844
00:33:59,664 --> 00:34:01,333
he misinterpreted it?
845
00:34:01,458 --> 00:34:02,751
That's correct.
846
00:34:02,876 --> 00:34:06,880
The Almighty teaches
us to save the sinner,
not kill him.
847
00:34:06,963 --> 00:34:11,009
He also teaches you
to pray for His guidance.
848
00:34:11,092 --> 00:34:14,554
Yes, but if that guidance
calls for an act like murder
849
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:16,723
we should be skeptical.
850
00:34:16,806 --> 00:34:19,184
I should hope so.
851
00:34:19,309 --> 00:34:21,436
But that's what confuses me,
Bishop Durning.
852
00:34:21,561 --> 00:34:24,147
When it comes to something
as important as murder
853
00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:26,274
don't you think
that God would be
854
00:34:26,358 --> 00:34:29,569
as specific as He could
possibly be to eliminate
855
00:34:29,652 --> 00:34:31,446
any margin for error?
856
00:34:34,866 --> 00:34:36,701
Of course He would.
857
00:34:36,785 --> 00:34:39,704
Otherwise, what kind
of God would he be?
858
00:34:39,788 --> 00:34:42,582
Mr. Wheeler?
859
00:34:42,666 --> 00:34:46,378
Nothing, Your Honor.
860
00:34:49,964 --> 00:34:52,634
Looks to me like the bishop
just made our case.
861
00:34:52,759 --> 00:34:53,927
Really, then why
do you supposed
862
00:34:54,052 --> 00:34:55,845
Wheeler didn't
cross examine him?
863
00:34:55,970 --> 00:34:57,514
What could he
possibly ask?
864
00:34:57,639 --> 00:34:58,765
The top gun in
the local church
865
00:34:58,890 --> 00:35:00,600
just said Father Hogan
made a mistake.
866
00:35:00,684 --> 00:35:01,893
Yeah, that's one explanation.
867
00:35:01,976 --> 00:35:03,937
The other is
that he realized
868
00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:05,605
your tactics were
turning off the jury.
869
00:35:05,689 --> 00:35:07,774
Why? How?
870
00:35:07,899 --> 00:35:10,527
Because an imperfect God
is no God at all.
871
00:35:10,610 --> 00:35:11,820
Did it ever cross your mind
872
00:35:11,903 --> 00:35:13,530
that the triers of fact
in a murder case
873
00:35:13,655 --> 00:35:16,741
might not want to hear you air
your disrespect of their faith?
874
00:35:16,825 --> 00:35:18,535
That's not what
I was doing at all.
875
00:35:18,618 --> 00:35:22,580
I can't beat this sanctimonious
defense by tip-toeing around.
876
00:35:22,664 --> 00:35:24,666
Besides, how do you know
they wouldn't like it?
877
00:35:24,749 --> 00:35:27,460
If nobody's watching
cheat on their wives
878
00:35:27,544 --> 00:35:28,586
cheat on their taxes
879
00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:30,797
impose the death penalty
all without remorse
880
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,382
all without worrying
about redemption.
881
00:35:32,465 --> 00:35:34,718
Most people want comfort,
hope...
882
00:35:34,801 --> 00:35:36,636
They want to believe
in something
883
00:35:36,761 --> 00:35:38,138
bigger than themselves.
884
00:35:38,263 --> 00:35:40,640
You know what I believe?
885
00:35:40,765 --> 00:35:42,851
I believe that Father Hogan's
886
00:35:42,934 --> 00:35:45,645
pious platitudes
and calm certainties
887
00:35:45,770 --> 00:35:46,646
ain't necessarily so.
888
00:35:46,688 --> 00:35:49,024
I believe that anyone
who wraps themselves
889
00:35:49,149 --> 00:35:52,027
in the flag or in the cloth
to excuse themselves
890
00:35:52,152 --> 00:35:54,654
from the rules the rest of us
mortals have to obey
891
00:35:54,779 --> 00:35:56,573
is pulling a fast one.
892
00:35:56,698 --> 00:35:58,408
Pisses me off to no end.
893
00:35:58,533 --> 00:36:01,286
"I know what God wants."
894
00:36:01,369 --> 00:36:05,373
Come on, Serena, it's ego
or hubris or narcissism.
895
00:36:05,498 --> 00:36:08,543
So "God's dead."
896
00:36:08,626 --> 00:36:11,671
I'm proud to say I don't know.
897
00:36:11,755 --> 00:36:12,881
But I do know this--
898
00:36:13,006 --> 00:36:15,008
Father Hogan's right
to his convictions
899
00:36:15,091 --> 00:36:17,635
stopped at Scott Giddins' nose.
900
00:36:21,556 --> 00:36:22,932
The first shot missed.
901
00:36:23,058 --> 00:36:27,687
My hand was shaking...
I never held a gun before.
902
00:36:27,812 --> 00:36:31,691
Bur you managed to hit Mr.
Giddins with the second shot.
903
00:36:31,816 --> 00:36:33,068
When I saw him fall back
904
00:36:33,193 --> 00:36:37,739
I couldn't help but think,
"God steadied my hand."
905
00:36:37,864 --> 00:36:39,699
God steadied it?
906
00:36:39,783 --> 00:36:42,786
God gave me the strength
to follow His guidance.
907
00:36:42,869 --> 00:36:45,413
But he wasn't the one
who pulled the trigger, was he?
908
00:36:45,538 --> 00:36:46,706
No.
909
00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:47,874
Scott Giddins was a drug dealer
910
00:36:47,957 --> 00:36:49,417
who terrorized a neighborhood
911
00:36:49,501 --> 00:36:51,461
for no other reason than
his own greed.
912
00:36:51,544 --> 00:36:52,462
He was a sinner.
913
00:36:52,504 --> 00:36:55,590
What happened to
the Fifth Commandment, Father?
914
00:36:55,673 --> 00:36:57,717
Scott Giddins caused
the death of a young boy.
915
00:36:57,801 --> 00:37:01,471
Exodus 20:13 may say
"Thou shalt not kill"
916
00:37:01,596 --> 00:37:05,016
but Exodus 21:12 says
"He that smiteth a man
917
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:09,187
so that he die,
shall surely be put to death."
918
00:37:15,151 --> 00:37:17,862
Just to be clear,
you killed Scott Giddins?
919
00:37:17,946 --> 00:37:20,907
Yes.
920
00:37:20,990 --> 00:37:22,409
So under oath you're admitting
921
00:37:22,492 --> 00:37:24,619
you're guilty
of breaking the law?
922
00:37:24,744 --> 00:37:28,206
Man's law, not God's.
923
00:37:28,289 --> 00:37:32,085
And you believe that the law of
God should trump the law of man?
924
00:37:32,210 --> 00:37:34,129
That's how I've lived my life.
925
00:37:34,254 --> 00:37:36,756
That's why I couldn't ignore
His wishes.
926
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,466
You heard His voice, did you?
927
00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:40,677
It wasn't a person-to-
person call, Mr. McCoy.
928
00:37:40,802 --> 00:37:45,640
I acted upon the enlightenment
that I received through prayer.
929
00:37:45,724 --> 00:37:48,143
That's all, no burning bush,
no pillar of fire?
930
00:37:48,226 --> 00:37:51,396
If you're asking
for proof, I can't
give you any.
931
00:37:51,521 --> 00:37:53,440
That's the very essence
of faith, Mr. McCoy
932
00:37:53,523 --> 00:37:57,944
belief despite absence of proof.
933
00:37:58,028 --> 00:38:02,365
And God wanted
Scott Giddins killed?
934
00:38:02,490 --> 00:38:04,659
Mr. Giddins caused
a lot of suffering.
935
00:38:04,784 --> 00:38:05,785
You thought
he should be
936
00:38:05,869 --> 00:38:06,995
punished for his sins, did you?
937
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,414
Yes.
Well, that's
certainly convenient--
938
00:38:09,497 --> 00:38:11,499
your desires
matching those of God.
939
00:38:11,583 --> 00:38:12,751
Objection.
940
00:38:12,876 --> 00:38:13,918
I'm just wondering
who spoke to whom?
941
00:38:14,044 --> 00:38:16,921
Enough, Counselor.
942
00:38:17,047 --> 00:38:18,006
After you received
943
00:38:18,089 --> 00:38:19,174
your marching orders
944
00:38:19,257 --> 00:38:21,634
did you think about
getting a second opinion?
945
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,638
I mean, you know, check with
your superiors at the church?
946
00:38:25,722 --> 00:38:29,893
To doubt God,
that would be hubris.
947
00:38:29,976 --> 00:38:32,687
On the other hand, some might
think it hubris not to.
948
00:38:32,771 --> 00:38:33,813
Objection.
949
00:38:33,897 --> 00:38:35,815
Counsel is testifying.
950
00:38:35,899 --> 00:38:37,609
Withdrawn.
951
00:38:37,692 --> 00:38:40,820
Did your lawyer tell you
that an insanity defense
952
00:38:40,945 --> 00:38:42,113
was available to you?
953
00:38:42,197 --> 00:38:43,531
He told me a lot of things.
954
00:38:43,615 --> 00:38:45,575
But I know in my heart
that I am not guilty.
955
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:49,412
I also know in my heart
that a jury will believe me.
956
00:38:49,496 --> 00:38:51,873
Then why did you hide
the murder weapon?
957
00:38:54,626 --> 00:38:56,127
Mr. Parker, said...
958
00:38:56,211 --> 00:38:57,462
Oh, I see
959
00:38:57,545 --> 00:38:59,005
seeking the advice of man
is wrong
960
00:38:59,089 --> 00:39:00,590
when it comes
to committing a crime
961
00:39:00,715 --> 00:39:02,801
but it's okay when it comes
to covering one up.
962
00:39:02,884 --> 00:39:06,179
Is there any chance
963
00:39:06,262 --> 00:39:09,015
you simply wanted
to avoid man's punishment
964
00:39:09,140 --> 00:39:13,144
for breaking his laws?
965
00:39:16,022 --> 00:39:17,565
Maybe we can come
back to that.
966
00:39:17,691 --> 00:39:19,109
Tell me this,
Father Hogan...
967
00:39:19,192 --> 00:39:21,027
the suffering you said
Scott Giddins caused
968
00:39:21,111 --> 00:39:22,487
the people in your neighborhood
969
00:39:22,612 --> 00:39:23,863
specifically
you're talking about
970
00:39:23,989 --> 00:39:25,448
the Parkers?
That's correct.
971
00:39:25,573 --> 00:39:27,867
And in your mind,
murdering Scott Giddins
972
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:31,621
would ease the pain
of losing their only son?
973
00:39:31,705 --> 00:39:34,040
In God's mind.
974
00:39:34,165 --> 00:39:34,874
Now that's interesting.
975
00:39:34,958 --> 00:39:38,086
Because if I remember correctly
976
00:39:38,211 --> 00:39:41,172
Mr. Parker testified
that losing his son
977
00:39:41,256 --> 00:39:43,049
was like a knife
through his heart
978
00:39:43,174 --> 00:39:46,970
which would not go away.
979
00:39:47,053 --> 00:39:50,056
A knife
through the heart
980
00:39:50,140 --> 00:39:51,016
hurts, Father Hogan.
981
00:39:51,099 --> 00:39:52,100
Your Honor...
982
00:39:52,225 --> 00:39:54,102
So if God wanted to ease
the Parkers' pain
983
00:39:54,185 --> 00:39:55,729
he really screwed the pooch
984
00:39:55,812 --> 00:39:56,855
on this one.
985
00:39:56,938 --> 00:39:57,939
All right, that's enough.
986
00:39:58,023 --> 00:39:59,107
Tell me, Father Hogan
987
00:39:59,190 --> 00:40:02,694
isn't it your job to comfort
your parishioners?
988
00:40:04,946 --> 00:40:06,656
Yes.
989
00:40:06,740 --> 00:40:08,116
But you couldn't do it,
could you?
990
00:40:08,199 --> 00:40:11,202
You were impotent
to ease the Parkers' pain.
991
00:40:14,122 --> 00:40:17,625
Maybe it wasn't God
who screwed the pooch,
Father Hogan.
992
00:40:17,709 --> 00:40:21,588
Maybe it was you.
993
00:40:34,059 --> 00:40:36,227
It's your meeting,
Mr. Parker.
994
00:40:37,228 --> 00:40:39,981
We have to be
in court, sir.
995
00:40:40,106 --> 00:40:41,107
No.
996
00:40:41,191 --> 00:40:42,484
Call it off.
997
00:40:42,567 --> 00:40:45,028
It's a little late for that.
998
00:40:45,153 --> 00:40:46,237
But I did it.
999
00:40:46,363 --> 00:40:48,156
Father Hogan
didn't do anything.
1000
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:49,824
He shouldn't be
punished.
1001
00:40:49,949 --> 00:40:52,619
This is very noble of you,
Mr. Parker, but...
1002
00:40:52,744 --> 00:40:54,162
He confessed and
you believe him.
1003
00:40:54,287 --> 00:40:56,206
Now why won't you
believe me?
1004
00:40:56,289 --> 00:40:59,125
The gun was in my house...
1005
00:41:00,126 --> 00:41:03,171
Excuse me, this is
a private meeting.
1006
00:41:03,296 --> 00:41:05,006
This is stupid, Bill.
1007
00:41:05,090 --> 00:41:07,217
I won't let you
take responsibility
for what I did.
1008
00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:09,094
Don't listen to him.
I'm ready to go to jail.
1009
00:41:09,177 --> 00:41:10,136
Bill...!
1010
00:41:10,261 --> 00:41:12,180
Don't you see what
he is doing to you?
1011
00:41:12,305 --> 00:41:14,849
He's mocking everything
that you believe.
1012
00:41:14,933 --> 00:41:16,267
If the jury...
They won't.
1013
00:41:17,936 --> 00:41:20,146
If they lose faith...
1014
00:41:20,271 --> 00:41:23,983
Then we still have ours.
1015
00:41:24,067 --> 00:41:28,113
What if that's not good enough?
1016
00:41:28,196 --> 00:41:30,365
I prayed for the strength...
1017
00:41:30,490 --> 00:41:34,786
And your prayer was
answered through me,
Bill.
1018
00:41:37,956 --> 00:41:44,295
Well, this certainly makes
things interesting.
1019
00:41:45,755 --> 00:41:47,340
You don't really believe him.
1020
00:41:47,424 --> 00:41:50,969
It's not my call.
It's up to a jury.
1021
00:41:51,052 --> 00:41:53,138
Eight and a
third to 25.
1022
00:41:53,263 --> 00:41:54,347
Richard, don't.
1023
00:41:54,472 --> 00:41:57,308
This gives us reasonable doubt.
1024
00:41:57,434 --> 00:42:02,731
I can't let this man put himself
in harm's way for me.
1025
00:42:05,358 --> 00:42:08,153
Going, going...
1026
00:42:08,236 --> 00:42:12,407
Fine. I accept.
1027
00:42:33,053 --> 00:42:35,013
Are you staying?
1028
00:42:40,185 --> 00:42:41,853
Can I ask you something?
1029
00:42:43,438 --> 00:42:47,025
Tommy Sudor.
1030
00:42:47,108 --> 00:42:49,903
He lived two doors down
from us on Damen Avenue.
1031
00:42:49,986 --> 00:42:53,323
He was a couple years
older than me
1032
00:42:53,406 --> 00:42:54,908
and as far back
as I can remember
1033
00:42:54,991 --> 00:42:56,910
I followed him around
like a puppy.
1034
00:42:59,871 --> 00:43:02,374
A VA hospital in 1968
1035
00:43:02,457 --> 00:43:04,834
was no place for a puppy.
1036
00:43:04,918 --> 00:43:08,088
It was pretty grisly
and it smelled bad.
1037
00:43:08,213 --> 00:43:12,467
The boy in the bed beside
Tommy's had already passed away.
1038
00:43:12,592 --> 00:43:15,845
Tommy's right leg
was somewhere in the basement.
1039
00:43:15,970 --> 00:43:19,933
What was left of his face
was tar paper.
1040
00:43:22,227 --> 00:43:23,436
I squeezed in
beside a priest
1041
00:43:23,561 --> 00:43:26,022
who's urging Tommy
to make a deathbed recantation
1042
00:43:26,147 --> 00:43:29,943
of his sins.
1043
00:43:30,026 --> 00:43:33,363
Tommy smiles with the part
of his mouth that still works
1044
00:43:33,488 --> 00:43:37,325
and says...
1045
00:43:37,409 --> 00:43:43,748
"What difference would it make?"
1046
00:43:43,832 --> 00:43:49,462
Priest moves on to the next bed,
Tommy says to me
1047
00:43:49,546 --> 00:43:58,430
"God forgive me if I'm wrong."
1048
00:43:58,513 --> 00:44:04,310
I think that's the last thing
he ever said.
1049
00:44:04,394 --> 00:44:07,647
Took a lot of guts.
1050
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,199
I thought it was right.
1051
00:44:24,497 --> 00:44:30,045
Me, I'm still tagging along
after Tommy.
1052
