Original subtitles

i said put it down don't make me shoot your partner shot too fast christine

cagney had to make a decision her life depended on and what kind of decisions

do you have to make i mean that guy made me have to be some gunslinging witch who

crawls around ghettos blasting away underprivileged children it was self

-defense are you gonna want you riding in here on your white horse trying to

save the day i think she'd like to tell us what the nypd can do to regain the

trust of the residents of spanish harlem after her brutal and unwarranted

shooting of Jesus Pinheiro. Brutal and unwarranted? You weren't there!

Next time they have one of these things, I'm out of town.

Let's Sam go in front of the firing squad and get shot at. They have a right

to be angry.

It's tough enough trying to raise kids these days without gang vendettas and

dope butchers on every corner.

You have to sympathize, Christine.

Fine, but I mean, why do we have to be the villains?

First they accuse us of letting criminals run wild in the streets. Then

they accuse us of harassing the locals because we've got it in for Puerto

Ricans in a low-rent district. Please, you can't win with these people.

You said it had to be a contest.

Everything's a contest.

I disagree, Christine.

Including getting in the last word with you.

This is true.

Oh, will you pull over up here? I want to get some milk for the boys for

breakfast.

But the kids can't eat their crispy crinkles dry.

Real men eat their crispy crinkles dry.

You're not as tough as you think you are.

Just put that thing down, mister.

Nobody needs to get hurt here.

He just kept coming at me with that thing.

I shot him in the shoulder.

He didn't even stop.

You okay to stay here?

I'm gonna get an ambulance.

Let's get a close-up of that mic.

Real tight, real tight.

Whoa, did some damage, didn't they?

Okay, let's get some crowd reaction. Over here.

Get the mic ready.

Like I told the officer when I called in.

Say that we'll take your statement at the precinct. Yes, sir. Is there

anything else?

Yeah, I suggest you two just get your stories straight before we get there.

Oh, God. Keys, Chris.

Christine, keys to the car.

had a .45.

Thank you.

How many times did you order him to halt?

At least three or four. Which is it, three times or four times?

Three. Then what?

Then there was no response.

Not to any words, not to any warnings.

Not even to the first gunshot. Personally, I think the kid Doe was high

on something.

Maybe PCP. I don't want what you think right now.

Well, I'm interested in the facts of what actually happened.

Got it?

Now, you fired two shots?

First time I went for the shoulder. Why?

Because I didn't want to kill him.

If I'd had a .45, the shoulder hit would have taken him down.

And he would be in better shape.

An officer, you're an experienced detective. She'd know you never fire

your weapon to wound.

You always fire to kill.

I don't agree with you.

Okay, then what?

It's just like I told you before.

Tell me again.

But you only heard the one shot.

Yes, when I came out of this door. When I was inside, I couldn't hear myself

think. You know, the music was blasting so loud.

What kind of music?

Spanish music.

Um, it was loud.

Very loud music.

Why were you sure he was breaking in?

Well, I figured the bat was bigger than any key I'd ever seen.

A smart aleck attitude is going to help you case Detective Cagney.

My case. I believe the penal law calls it attempted murder.

Well, I call it self-defense.

Of course you do, because you're involved up to your eyeballs on this

one. But just between us investigators, passionate protests of innocence aren't

conclusive in the court of law.

What I need is hard evidence to classify this incident a good shooting.

Am I going to make my job easier, or stay on your high horse all night long?

Okay.

Let's take it from the top.

That's my line.

I told you when I got there, he was unconscious.

He couldn't hold on to anything.

I don't know what more you want me to say.

Well, right now, I'd settle for anything that could help your partner.

Would you have shot the second time if he hadn't raised the bat?

I wouldn't have shot the first time or the second time.

if my life had not been endangered.

Well, what would you have done?

Off the record?

Without backup?

Without witnesses?

Would a juvenile can be alleged to be unarmed?

You saw those broken windows. I saw broken windows up and down the alley and

up and down Easter Hunt and 18th Street and all over the godforsaken

neighborhood.

Who can prove who's responsible or when?

I ought to use the throwaway gun.

Off the record.

Mary Beth?

Yeah.

Sorry, babe. I could have just undone the chain and gone to bed.

Sam, I really shook up on the phone. You okay?

I'll scram you up some eggs. Honey, honey, don't walk, all right? Hey, hey,

hey, you gotta eat, don't you?

How's Chris?

Oh, she's all right, I guess.

I mean, you know Christine. If she wasn't all right, we'd never know her.

It shouldn't have happened, Harv. I mean, we stopped by a market to get...

It makes me very angry. If I told her once, I told her 250 times, don't go off

by yourself, and off she goes. It's all over. It's over.

Come on.

I'll sprinkle some parmesan cheese in it where you like it, huh?

Okay?

Kid is real young, Harv. He's like two,

three years older than Harv Jr., maybe.

His poor mother.

Was it a good shoot?

Yeah.

Yeah, he was coming after her with a baseball bat.

He tried to kill her.

Why does a kid do a thing like that?

I'll get you some milk. You'll sleep better.

We're out of milk. That's how come I went by the market. I picked up some on

the way home.

Hi.

Give me a call when you get home.

Just give me a call.

30s in some parts of Connecticut and New Jersey.

Tomorrow, we can look forward to highs in the 50s in metropolitan New York,

with the winds coming in at about 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Well, that's it for the weather. Now, back to you, Pam.

Thank you, Sid.

And now for a special report live from East 118th Street in Manhattan, we go to

our nightly reporter, Arturo Perez, on the scene.

Pam, I'm here at Spanish Harlem, the scene of a shooting.

approximately 7 p.m. this evening.

The police cars and ambulance are gone, but the residents of this community are

angry and confused at another in a series of police shootings in their

neighborhood.

Tonight, an unarmed 15-year-old Puerto Rican boy, Jesus Pinheiro, was shot and

critically wounded by a police detective.

I mean, I can understand it.

But this turkey's a graduate student in, get this, romance languages.

You must be doing something right, Victor.

Yeah, probably talks all that mushy stuff to in Russian or something.

Russian isn't a romance language.

I checked with the physician.

The patient is in critical condition.

I'm sorry, detectives, but we cannot release a blood sample while a patient

is not in a mental condition to consent.

Excuse me, ma'am, but it's potential evidence. It could influence the way

this case is being handled. It is a violation of the patient's rights not to

mention a Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.

Excuse me, ma'am, but I don't think you understand that a fellow officer's

career and reputation run the line here. I'm terribly sorry, but my

responsibility is to the patient.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to.

They just love to bust your chops.

She's just doing her job.

Marcus, I have to ask you something.

You're married, right?

And you're approaching your early middle years, right?

Early middle years?

Well, I'm not 21 anymore.

Remind me.

Do you, uh... Well, do you sense a drop-off in...

and performance as you're getting older.

Victor,

this is very personal stuff.

Hey, well, there's some market silver partners, right?

I mean, if I can't talk to you about this kind of thing, who else can I talk

to about it?

Yeah.

Um, well, from a purely physiological point of view, yes.

What do you do about it?

Well, what can you do?

Anyway, uh, there are other things important to a woman besides, um...

stamina.

Right?

Like what?

Like, um, intimacy.

Tenderness.

Technique.

Technique? Technique.

Marcus, I have read The Sensuous Woman.

I have also been aware of all the erogenous zones from A to Z.

Believe me, there's nothing wrong with my technique.

What do you know about vitamin E?

It's good for your complexion.

Lieutenant, I resent this.

Standard operating procedure, Cagney.

Officers involved in shooting incidents are assigned clerical duty pending the

outcome of the firearms review team's investigation. That's all.

Is Greco behind it?

The firearms review team is behind you.

Whether or not you got the good sense to realize it. Christine, I'm sure it'll be

all cleared up in a day or two. And... Right, sir.

There are no outside caseloads for the duration of an internal investigation.

Now, Lacey here is going to be getting all the blisters while you are going to

be leading the life of Riley.

I say to you, enjoy it while you can.

Right, Lacey? Yes, sir.

Doesn't sound too bad to me.

So how long do I get to be so lucky?

Well, until we get all the evidence before the grand jury and they rule that

there was no improper behavior involved.

Four days, five days, a week at the most, not long.

Oh, well, if it isn't the talk of the town herself.

Seen this?

Yeah, I saw it. It's the afternoon edition. It's even juicier.

Must have been a slow day for the news.

I direct your attention to the second paragraph.

Allegedly armed with a baseball bat, a 15-year-old resident of a largely Puerto

Rican community was shot at point-blank range by off-duty detective Christine

Cagney. who claimed that the youngster was threatening her with bodily harm.

Well, I don't care for their choice of words, but those are the facts.

When is public opinion ever based on the facts? We look bad.

What do you think the Community Watch campaign was all about?

We needed to improve our image in Spanish Harlem, not destroy it.

Look, the fact that he's a Puerto Rican juvenile does not make him automatically

innocent. How do we know he didn't have a record a yard long and a mile wide?

It makes no difference if he's a convicted axe murderer. Tell him, Bert.

Juvenile records are sealed. We have to subpoena them. We have to subpoena

records from our own department?

He's a juvenile.

Yeah, a juvenile with the restraint of four men twice his size and a hardwood

bat to back him up.

I already told the review officers. I thought he was on dust.

That's pure conjecture on your part.

So have you gotten the lab test back on the PCP?

Petrie and his Becky were at the hospital this morning, and we can't

order a DD-45 while the boy is still in a coma.

We have to wait for the patient's consent.

Well, there must be some way we can get around that.

Not unless the boy dies.

That's all we need.

Here come the vultures.

I don't want you saying anything to the press. Anything at all. You got that,

Cagney?

We'll have an official statement this afternoon at One Police Plaza, Mr.

Perez. I'd like to speak to the officer involved.

She has no statement to make at this time. She doesn't.

I think she'd like to tell us what the NYPD can do to regain the trust of the

residents of Spanish Harlem after her brutal and unwarranted shooting of Jesus

Pinero.

and investigations are prohibited.

We are aggressively investigating the situation to determine that the officer

of record acted within department guidelines.

I assure you, no individual who may contaminate the integrity of the best of

our men and women in blue will be tolerated. Okay, that's it. Detective

Cagney, maybe you can answer another question. No, no, you want to play 20

questions, mister, you do it someplace else. My office has got work to do. So

do I, officer.

Lieutenant, Lieutenant Samuels.

I take it you're Detective Cagney's commanding officer?

Good guess.

then you're the man responsible for releasing Cagney's service record.

Excuse me? The Freedom of Information Act.

Any private citizen is entitled to request the record of a public servant

for examination.

That's right. Any private citizen has the right to go through the proper

channels, including you, mister.

Don't worry, lieutenant. The paperwork's on its way.

Let's go. Hey, hey! You want to start something?

Hey!

That kid tried to kill me.

You got any hands for him?

And I can't get his arrest sheet without some subpoena. Any jerk can come in off

the streets and get my records.

That's the law, Chris.

Yeah, well, it's damn unfair.

That too.

So where are you dashing off to?

See Dory.

Finally got in touch with him, huh? No, not really. My answering machine talked

to his answering machine and they said we'd get together tonight. I'll see you

tomorrow. Chris?

You want to talk and Dory poops out on you if there's telephones.

I don't want any of your Mother Teresa routine.

I'm just fine, okay?

Sure.

Cagney. Don't you have a home?

It's McKenna. I'm calling you from beautiful downtown Trenton.

The freight tonight is off. We're down here on the trail of some major

suppliers, and I'm telling you, we're so close to collaring the main man, I can

sniff him.

Relax, Chris.

It's just a figure of speech.

I'll give you a ring as soon as I hit town. Oh, and by the way, I've got a

surprise for you.

You're gonna love it.

I'm telling you, it's part of the territory.

Now, what did I tell you right from the start? You've got to keep on your toes

at all times, all times.

I'll never forget one time we were frisking a couple of guys down at Canal

Street. Now, just as I took a switchblade, I'm telling you, Chrissy,

it was that long out of this punk shirt when his partner jumps my partner and

starts to run for it.

Well, Jack the Ripper here gets the jump on me, knees me in the south of the

border. He turns into some kind of a crazy octopus. He's grasping and

clawing, trying to get his hands on the blade.

I'm telling you, I took every bit of juice I had just to get my hands on my

piece before he finished me off.

So what happened?

I did what came naturally. I shot the creep before he sliced me.

Hey, they only fooled Charles Fitzgerald Cagney once.

He died?

Yeah.

He was pretty tough.

But he did all his time at Attica, as I recall. I'll tell you another thing. He

never came on my beat again.

So, um, did the department...

Stay behind you?

Behind me?

Hey, I got a commendation from the commissioner.

I was doing my job, Chris.

Protecting the streets of New York City.

Your fellow officers respect you for that, and people look up to you.

Yeah, well, police work's a little more complicated now, Charlie.

Yeah, I know, yeah. They've got all those, what do you call them, review

boards. You've got to practically ask the guys permission before you shoot.

Then they ask you 600 questions.

The questions I don't mind.

I know we are accountable.

Hey, hey!

Guy comes at you with a baseball bat trying to do a yin. What are you

supposed to do?

Can he blow it?

Those bums are pathetic. See what the Knicks are doing.

You believe those Jets.

Fourth and two to go in the 23. They go for three and they miss it.

You want another drink?

I don't want to see that.

I do not want to see it. Hey, hey, hold it.

You got nothing to be ashamed of. You're among friends here.

victim still in serious condition from gunshot wounds he suffered last night in

a darkened alleyway off 118th Street in Spanish Harlem.

Señora Pinheiro, can you share your feelings at this moment with us?

I... I be... muy triste.

Muy triste, señor.

Very sad.

And now the universal language worth a thousand words.

The image of a beloved son.

Shown here in the robes he wore as an altar boy at St. Ursula's Church.

A good boy who worked hard to support his widowed mother.

I don't believe this.

He's just milking it.

Because an off-duty police officer...

Thought she heard noises in the alleyway that Jesus was walking through on his

way home.

Thought the baseball bat he had used just a few short hours before in the

playing field behind St. Ursula's church was a weapon.

Thought that a young brown-skinned boy out after dark... What are you doing?

I just ate dinner. I don't have the stomach for that crap.

Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute.

There's nobody in the world who would believe you'd shoot a kid like that

unless you had real provocation.

He tried to kill me!

That isn't provocation enough.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

That's what I said. And you got witnesses to back you up, right?

Good night, Charlie.

Where you going? I'm on your side.

She's got a temper just like her mother.

What's the matter with you?

Hey,

guys, just because I'm a big TV star now doesn't mean you have to worry.

I mean, how could I forget my friends who knew me when, huh?

I mean, it would have been nice if someone had sent a limo to the house

this morning, but hey... Christine, the boy died approximately 3.15 this

morning.

Gee, you must have strong roots.

Me, I'd have a fistful of hair if I tried something like that. You know what

Perez is going to do with this?

Christine, the facts of the case are going to prove themselves out. Daniels

was right.

Because no one ever listens to facts when you've got a media con artist like

that guy planning those...

Melodramatic stance, uh-uh. Like last night?

Did you love the bit about the kid taking care of the poor widowed mother?

Maybe it was.

One way or another, it doesn't matter because the facts... No, it matters a

whole lot. What matters a whole lot is if the members of the grand jury ever

saw Perez's report.

I mean, that guy made me out to be some gunslinging witch who crawls around

ghettos blasting away underprivileged children.

It was self-defense.

You're damn right it was. And I'm the one who's getting crucified here.

I did what any good cop would have done, right?

I remember how I felt when I found out it was my bullet that killed that kid. I

asked you a question.

Your life was in danger. You saved your life.

Any cop worth his salt who gave a damn about himself or the job would do the

same thing.

So make peace with it, huh?

Yeah.

At least now we can run the drug test.

But in light of Jesus Pinedo's death, don't you think the NYPD should take a

long, hard look at the citizen's complaint on Detective Cagney's record?

The complaint that charged her with inflicting bodily harm and a routine

questioning at a family disturbance?

Family disturbance?

I'll tell you about the family disturbance.

The citizen...

to whom Mr. Perez is referring, is one of the biggest pimps in the South Bronx.

You're off limits, Cagney. Does that entitle you to deny the man his civil

rights and protection by law?

The same way you denied Jesus Pinero the right to reach manhood?

What about my rights? Botany, Cagney.

Lieutenant Samuels, why does the department refuse to discipline those

officers who use excess force on the line of duty?

Well, I don't believe that there is sufficient evidence to...

suggests that Detective Cagney has done anything but serve the citizens of New

York City in any but the most responsible and trustworthy manner.

Then why was she overheard to remark at the Pinheiro shooting scene that, I'm

quoting here, I just wish I'd had a .45?

Now, we presume that to mean that a .45 could blow a bigger hole or do more

damage. No, I'm not going to comment on hearsay.

Well, then you comment on the fact that... No, I will not!

Now, this interview is finished right now. I want you out of my office, all of

you.

Did you get the door slamming in my face?

Thank you.

Sit down, Jack.

Go ahead.

Take a look.

What's the matter? You never take a coffee break?

I guess a little caffeine wouldn't hurt.

I got a good squad here, huh?

I think probably the best in the city.

You know how long I've been on the force?

20 years.

22.

You're a very dedicated man, Lieutenant.

Who said that masochism can't be fun, huh?

22 years.

I had a lot of close calls, but... I never had a...

A bullet of mine taking another person's life.

That's not what I meant to say.

What I meant is... I... You know, they

give judges and juries six months, a year, maybe more, to make a decision

that they expect us to deliver in a split second just like that.

We're supposed to act like God.

But the most you could do is just muster up the best you got. That's all.

I guess I... I was lucky.

I can't say that I know how you feel right now because I don't.

A lot of cops, you know, pull pension without ever having to go through what

you're going through right now.

But I'll tell you this much, kid.

I can tell you this, that there is not one of us that doesn't wonder what it

would be like and how we would act in the same situation.

And there's not one of us that doesn't understand the kind of guts it takes to

go through all of it.

Well, I imagine that you probably got your plans for tonight, huh?

No, I don't have any.

Well, I do.

Well... Thank you for the coffee.

Who

is

it? The man in your dreams.

You miss me?

Well, I missed you.

So what do you think of my surprise?

What surprise?

Take a good look.

You shaved off your mustache.

Right.

So what do you think of it?

Nice.

You know, Dory, it would have been considered if you'd let me know you were

arriving.

What, and spoil the spirit of spontaneous adventure?

Ah, besides, this way I get to surprise any competition that might be lurking

around in my absence.

Actually, I always kind of liked your mustache.

I'll grow it back.

Caviar and champagne.

So what's the occasion?

The champagne is for you and the caviar is for me.

The occasion is you and me.

And the coloring of the biggest middleman south of Boston and north of D

.C. And the real sweet part of it is the guy just hustled in a shipment of horse

worth a half million dollars on the street. All just waiting for us. Neat

and clean and easy as pie.

Congratulations.

Let me taste this caviar.

McKenna, you are on a roll.

I tell you, Chris, this is one of the biggest busts to come down in the tri

-state area since they hauled that trawler off the Jersey coast in 82.

Here's to the big collar.

They don't get much bigger.

It was a good shoot, Chris.

The guy came at you with an intent to kill him. There wasn't a cop on the

force that wouldn't have blown him away.

I just know he was high on something, Dory.

I just know he was.

You know how those guys get, uh... that are on PCP, they...

They're almost superhuman. They're flying so high

that you just can't even touch them. They don't...

here, and they don't feel.

And that first bullet, it's like it never even touched him.

What's the matter? Weren't the lab tests conclusive?

I haven't gotten them back yet.

When someone's falling down on the job, it's time to kick a little butt and see

how fast you get results.

No, wait, Dory, wait a minute. Did he have a record?

I'm still waiting for the subpoena. Dory, listen to me. Well, not after I

get through with it. No, I don't want you involved in this. No. Don't worry.

I'm going to get this thing fixed up. No, I didn't ask you to fix anything.

I don't want you to fix anything.

What's wrong?

I don't want you riding in here on your white horse trying to save the day.

I can solve my own problems.

Now, what's getting loaded going to do for you?

Seems to me I used to say the same thing to you, not so long ago.

And it seems to me I finally stopped kidding myself and asked for help.

Don't you patronize me.

Here, give me that.

Please.

I'm sorry.

Look what you did.

Look what you did!

Chris. No, just get away from me!

Lacey, your partner's a little late this morning, isn't she?

Oh, really, sir? I hadn't noticed.

But I do know that she stayed late last night to finish up these DD-5s who are

waiting on us. That's good. Yeah, okay. Well, you tell her I want to see her as

soon as she comes in. Yes, sir. Lieutenant?

Yeah? I was wondering what... Well,

is there anything that I can do to help out, sir?

Thank you, Lacey. I think I'd like to handle this one on my own, if it's okay

with you.

Oh, it's okay with me, sir.

How's Chris?

Late.

Let me know when she gets in. I'll put you on the list.

Vitamin E, Victor?

Yeah. I have a little problem with my complexion.

Looks okay to me.

Well, it's always good to take this stuff before you have a problem.

You know, like a preventative medicine.

Good morning.

You look a little tired out, Christine.

Dory's back in town.

Oh.

Well, then you had a good night then, huh?

Well, had its moments.

I wouldn't get too comfortable. I feel that three phone calls for you, Petrie

wants to talk to you, and the lieutenant wants to see you in his office.

I don't know.

Christine? You wanted to see me, Lieutenant?

Yeah. Nice of you to join us this morning, Kay.

Sorry.

It's a strange night.

Well, it's going to be a good day.

DD-45 is on top.

They found .75 milligrams of PCP in his bloodstream.

There's juvenile records underneath.

Three primes for burglary in the last seven months.

So will that do it?

Yeah, and I'll be surprised if we don't get a justified homicide from the grand

jury in 24 hours.

So what, that's it?

Not enough.

Thank you.

Sir, O.I. says I think I deserve a second chance.

And she says, you can't stoke a dead fire.

So I said, hey, it's obvious there's still sparks between us.

You see what I was trying to do? I was trying to pick up on how her mind was

working. You were mirroring her metaphor.

Yeah.

Yeah, you could say that.

Anyway, so she says, speak for yourself.

So I say, hey, hey.

I know what a woman like you wants.

She says, prove it.

So, the jury comes in. Saturday night, her place.

Good luck, Victor.

No problem.

He looks good, Samuels thinks.

So... So?

It's not over yet, Chris.

Oh, I mean, I know that.

Samuels has been along before. You know that's not what I mean.

You think I don't know what's been going on with you?

I was in the very same shoes you're standing in right now after I killed

that kid up in Harlem.

Pretending that the only thing on my mind was putting the shooting and the

bad press behind me, getting on with my job.

Lying to myself just like you are. I have been straight with every single

person involved. Yeah, everybody except yourself.

Cagney, you killed somebody!

Real live human being, not one of those cardboard dummies we blow away in target

practice.

Damn right I killed somebody.

But that's what I was trained to do.

Oh, of course, of course. They taught us how to do it.

But nobody told us how to deal with the consequences.

It's part of the job.

Oh. Does that mean...

That you can't wish it didn't happen?

That you didn't have the weight of taking the life of some human being on

your soul?

You've got some unfinished business, Chris.

Look, I'm sorry. I have a wrench strike I have to cover tonight, okay? What

about tomorrow night?

If there's time. If there's time.

Hey, you had time to build a case against my partner and made her look

like Adolf Eichmann. And now I think you have a responsibility, you know, to set

the record straight.

Don't lecture me about responsibility.

To work with people like me, Watergate would be just another hotel in the

Potomac. Yeah, well, try this on. It's unfair.

It's unethical, and it stinks, and you and I both know it.

Ethics is a philosophical term. I don't deal in philosophy.

I deal in the real world. No realer than mine. What about poverty? Huh? What

about the slums? What about unemployment?

What about an entire Hispanic community drowning in crime, insufficiently

protected by the police, and neglected by City Hall?

Huh? What about them? How is cutting down one police officer gonna fix any of

those things?

Maybe someone in City Hall is listening.

Maybe we'll get police protection instead of police brutality.

Oh, jeez, brutality?

Jesus Pinero tried to kill my partner, and she did kill him. And that's a

tragedy all the way around, and you only told the one side of it.

Yeah, I only told the one side of it, but he didn't deserve to die.

Jesus Pinero was a kid who made some mistakes.

Your partner shot too fast. That's all there is to it.

No, sir, that's not all there is to it.

Christine Cagney had to make a decision her life depended on. And what kind of

decisions do you have to make?

What color tie are you going to wear when you're on TV?

Pam, have we gotten those reports on that rent strike in Brooklyn?

Anything on the UPI?

Senor Piñera, may I come in, please?

Are you from

the Warfare Department?

No, I'm sorry.

I'm Detective Cagney.

If you would let me... No!

No!

Explain to you.

I never saw him like this.

When I saw him, he was very angry.

And he was very dangerous.

He didn't know what he was doing.

Senora, I never wanted to kill your son.

I just wanted to stop him.

The drugs just made him too strong.

Are you understanding anything?

I came here today to...

Let you know that I was sorry that your son died.

And I'm sorry that I was the one who shot him.
