All language subtitles for Episode 06 Personal Foul

- Watch him!
- I got him!

Whoo!

I got it!
I got it! Johnny!

I got it! I got it!

- No basket.
- What?

You were out of bounds.
You stepped on
the baseline.

You stepped out of bounds.
I gave him a double dribble.

Fine. No basket.

You don't have to call
with a magnifying glass.

What's a magnifying glass
got to do with it?
The rule's enforced or it isn't.

- Take the ball out, Larry.
- Here we go.

I love that look
you give, Nathan.

That big, toothy grin.

Larry, enough.
What's that grin mean?

"He's white,
so he's got to call it
ticky-tack to keep even?"

- You said it. I didn't.
- You want affirmative action
on the basketball court too.

One set of rules for you
and one for everybody else.

Larry, shut your mouth.
Take the ball out. Let's go.

What's everybody's
problem today?
Check.

Let's go.
Your ball.

Let's go.
Let's go.

He ain't
got nothing.

I got the jump.

Foul!
Foul?

Man!
That was clean, Larry.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, Nathan.

I made 130,000 bucks last year.
How much did you make
deliverin' mail?

I know a brother
got made partner
in your firm instead of you,

but that's no cause
for you to bust my balls.

You think that's
what this is about?
I don't know what this is about.

Just shut our mouths
and go back to playing.

Or what? Nathan will
gum up my mailbox?

Get out of my face.
Don't do that, man.

Or what?
Lay your hands on me again,
and I'm gonna show you.

I ain't playing with you.
That's all
you're good for is playing.

What are you doing?

You all right?
I can't believe
I did that.

Larry!

He's in full arrest.
We need an ambulance.
My bag, there's a phone.

The red one?
Yeah, the red one.

This is detective
John Kelly in 15 squad.

I need emergency service
and an ems for
a possible cardiac...

At the 63 street ymca,
second floor
basketball court.

Yes. Yes.

What's going on?

12, 13, 14, 15.

Nothing.

Is he dead, Jerry?

He's dead,
isn't he?

Yeah. He's dead.

God.

Kohnstam's a bachelor.
Does anyone know his folks?

I do. 206.

What's that?

The area code.
They live in Seattle.

What did he go off
on me for?

I don't know, man.
I don't know.

Come on. Come on.

- He just started
jumping me.
- I know.

What was wrong with him?
I know.

I'm gonna--
I'm gonna have
to take you downtown.

For what?

They're gonna
wanna talk to you.

Talk to me about what?
You saw what happened.

But you hit the guy.
He went down. They're
gonna wanna talk about it.

Screw you, John.
I'm not going down
to that station. I'm going home.

You're putting me
in a bad position here,
Nathan.

What, am I under arrest?
Put your voice down,
will ya?

Let's go in there
and we'll take care of it.

No. You arrest me.

You arrest me.
You arrest me
in front of our friends.

All right.
You're under arrest.

You have the right
to remain silent.

You have the right
to an attorney
at any time.

If you cannot afford one,
a lawyer will be supplied
for you free of charge.

Do you understand
what I just said?

Do you understand me?

Yeah. I understand.

Hi.
Assistant district
attorney Craig called.

He said he'd be
a few minutes late.

Hey, hey, hey.
Look who's here.

Mr. Giardella. Alphonse.
There you go.

I was about
to fine you 25 cents...

For failing
to use my first name.

Fruit?

No.
No, thank you.

So the d. A.'S
gonna be late?

Did you talk
to him too?

Yeah, I talk to Jimmy a lot.
Why shouldn't I?

I gotta make sure
he makes a jump
on everybody in his office.

You too, Laura.

Believe me,
I know enough to make sure
everybody looks good.

I know Mr. Craig
feels your information's
been very productive.

I got another confession
I wanna make to you right now.

Why don't we wait on confessions
until Mr. Craig gets here
and we're on tape.

This is personal.

You've been showing up
in my dreams lately.

Who do you belong to anyhow?
You got a husband
or an old man or something?

I don't think my social life
is really relevant to what's
going on in this room.

Believe me, what I've been
dreaming about,

believe me, it's relevant.

Well--
good morning.

Sorry I'm late.

Me and Laura figured
you were early.

Shall we get started?

Give me a second
to powder my nose.

To be continued.

Where were you?
I got stuck
in traffic.

I didn't.

- What does that mean?
- This is the third time
this week you've been late.

If you have something
on your mind, say it.

I feel like I'm being dangled
in front of alphonse giardella
like a piece of meat.

Am I upset that this guy
has half a crush on you? No.

But that does not mean
I am pimping you
out to him.

It does not mean
I am showing up late...

As part of some strategy
to put your virtue
at risk.

And you're making
another mistake
if you think I'm pleased...

The two of US
are standing here
arguing about this.

You asked me.
I'm telling you how I feel.

What? What? What?
Am I sensing a tension
in the atmosphere here?

We're fine.
Let's go to work.

Here you go. Sit down.

What's this?
You got a minute?

I play basketball
with this guy twice a week.

He's a buddy of mine.

He and another guy
got into a beef.
The other guy is kind of a jerk.

Getting
in Nathan's face, pushing,

and Nathan tried
to walk away,

but the guy wouldn't
give him any room.

Finally Nathan
takes a slug at him
and the guy goes down, dead.

What's his story?
He's a good citizen.

He got in some trouble
when he was a kid, 18, 19--

what kind of trouble?
It was a marijuana charge
and failure to appear.

He did six months.
But he's clean, lieutenant.

He's a mail carrier.
He's a good guy.

A family man.

So I read him his rights.
He's a little shook up.

But I think somebody else
should be assigned.

Medavoy's up.
I'll fill him in.
I just need a minute with him.

I can't do this.
I can't go to jail.
I know.

I'll do my best
to make it easy on you.

But we gotta take
a few steps here.
D.A.'S gotta look into this.

We got-- what?
This is
detective medavoy.

He's gonna handle the case
because I'm a witness.

So you wanna make a statement,
you give it to him.

I'm not gonna
make any statement.
I'm not gonna do anything.

I have to write up a statement.
Well,
what about me, man?

You're gonna be here for awhile
until the d. A. Decides
what to do.

I'll put you
in an interview room while
we interview the witnesses.

You gonna lock me up?
In an interview room.

But he'll be able
to change his clothes
in there, get coffee?

Yeah.

- You're gonna lock me up?
- I gotta, man.
I gotta lock you up.

Go ahead.

I'll talk
to you later.
Sure you will.

John, we got a homicide
in f. D. R. At Pearl street.

You want me
to grab Martinez?

Nah. Let me just get
some clothes.

Listen. Did you get
squared away on your buddy?

Yeah.
I gave it to medavoy.

Look at this.
I'm ankle deep
in water over here.

It's full of hair.
It's somebody's hair
keeps cloggin' up the drain.

I guess that rules you out
as a suspect.

Boy, that's really funny.

Funny.

Mr. Zimmer.

I'm detective Kelly.
This is detective sipowicz.

- I know this
is a hard time for you.
- She never hurt anyone.

Not as long as I knew her.
You feel like answering
any questions?

We were just driving,
just talking.

Then I heard a noise.
Must've been the gunshot.

I turned around and Joan's
bleeding all over her face.

Next second I lost control
and crashed the car.

She say anything?

No. Half
her head's gone.

You just heard
the one shot?
I think so.

I don't know.
There might have been more.

Did you notice any other cars
around you? Makes? Drivers?

No.
Anybody driving erratically
or anything?

No.
-Where were you headed?

I was... headed
to my mother-in-law's
to pick up the baby.

God, what am
I gonna say to her?

She have any dispute at work?
A promotion? Raise?

Something like that?
She's on
maternity leave.

How about you?
Anybody mad at you?

No.

What kind
of business are you in?
Electronic services.

She's dead. She's dead.

Let's go get your baby.
We'll get you a ride.

Come on. Take your time.

Crime scene puts one bullet
in the right side
of the woman's head.

Pieces of a hollow point
and one bullet recovered
from the seat back in front.

Nine millimeter.
Ballistics is pretty sure
it was a flat trajectory.

The bullet's
got to have come
from another car.

- How does
the husband check out?
- We're still pulling stuff in.

The borough commander okayed
a canvass of the motorists
off that exit ramp this morning.

You'll have assistance
from the highway patrol cops,
and you can use Martinez.

The kid's making
into an okay cop.

Yeah. Don't give him
any bad habits.

I'm gonna meet you out there.
I'm gonna make Nathan's
arraignment.

No problem.
Kelly, it's postponed
till this afternoon.

The arraignment?
How come?

Your friend punched out
a prison guard
and then tried to run.

They're filing
supplementary charges.

Is the guard hurt?
They said some stitches
next to the eye.

Thanks
for keeping me posted.
Sure.

Judy.

Why did they postpone
Nathan's arraignment?

Well, evidently,
there was some kind
of altercation with a guard.

Between Nathan and a guard?
Yeah, evidently.

I called you.
You didn't get my messages?

I got them.

The district attorney
said that they're gonna
charge him with homicide.

That's just the category
they use when they go
before the grand jury.

Once the medical report is in,
I can testify--

is that supposed
to reassure me?

I can't be
at the late arraignment,

but I will definitely
see Nathan later.

If you get to talk
to him in court,

please tell him to calm down
'cause it's only gonna
make it worse.

He left yesterday morning...

To go play basketball.

I know. I'm sorry.

Judy--

For god's sakes,
let's get this moving.
I gotta make a living.

Morning.

Were you driving
in this area about
the same time yesterday?

I'm from Phoenix.
Okay.

Were you
here yesterday?
No. I was in Indianapolis.

- Come on.
- What are you doing?
Let's go!

- Were you
around here yesterday?
- Are you on your lunch break?

Let's go already!
Thanks.

Move it!
This guy with the horn's a pain in the ass.

Come on!

How about you just relax, pal?
We just wanna ask you
a few questions.

I heard. The answer's no,
so go suck on some doughnuts
and get out of my way.

Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, you--

Andy, let's go.
Come here!

Let him go.
We'll radio ahead. Andy--

Hands on the wheel!
What the hell are you
chasing me for?

Give me your license
and registration.

What do you want?
Get over there.

All right.
Your license
and registration.

All right.
Let's see your hands.

Now, we're gonna talk
about that finger
right there.

The one in the middle that you
were sticking up in the air.
What was that all about?

You had traffic
all screwed up.
I'm in a rush.

Okay, so you were
trying to help?

You were pointing at something
that you thought would help
clear up the traffic.

Correct?
Something like that.

Then say so.
"I was trying to help."

I was trying to help.
Okay.

Now, I'm gonna ask you
a few questions about
a shooting yesterday,

and then maybe we'll
go have some coffee
and suck on a doughnut.

I'm from Brooklyn.
I never left there yesterday.
You see?

I didn't even ask you
that question yet, Harvey.

Now we're gonna have
to start all over again.

You do wanna help,
don't you, harv?
Sure.

Then say so.
"I want to help."
I want to help.

Good. Now, relax.

This shouldn't
take any more
than 10, 15 minutes.

Half hour, tops.

Mr. Zimmer.
What, you think I did it?

- Hold on now. Take it easy.
- Am I a suspect or what?

You've been calling
my friends, my relatives.

You conduct
an investigation
by eliminating things.

We're looking into
every possibility and motive
for how your wife got shot.

I think you'd want US
to do that.
Nobody's singling you out.

We're checking cars
off the highway
looking for witnesses,

- checking past shootings
in the area.
- Making any progress?

- We'll let you know.
- I hope at least
you've ruled me out.

I hope you got that far.

- We'll keep you posted.
- That's great.

I see my wife murdered in front
of me. I got a three-month-old
I got to take care of.

I've got to go
through getting hounded
and persecuted by you people.

That's
a natural reaction, right?

So how come
I make this guy a jerk?
Kelly. Sipowicz.

Give me a minute?

Kelly and sipowicz,
you know licalsi and Lucas.

How you doing?

Lucas and licalsi
were working
street conditions.

They busted a couple
a street dealers
who rolled...

And gave up the address
of a heroin cutting room
and a scheduled drop.

- We're gonna pull a
search warrant and go for it.
- When would that be?

The mechanics and baggers
should be there
about 10:00 tonight.

Can everybody make 10:00 work?

Sure. No problem.
There goes
my Wednesday glee club.

I didn't ask for you.
We just brought the information
to lieutenant fancy--

I got no problem
working with you.

You sure?
Yeah. I'm sure.

Okay.

Cell 804 to visitors.

You can unhook him.
He went after
one of our guys.

He wears iron
as long as he's here.

Here. I went
by, vitello's.

What you want here, man?

I'm your friend, Nathan.
Yeah, you've been
a big help so far.

I'm also a cop.

So this is about the hell
you've been through, John,
walking that line?

This is about you and how
you got to stop acting
like an asshole in here.

I'm acting like an asshole?

While you're sucking fresh air
and bringing me food
like a monkey in a zoo,

you're talking about
I'm supposed to behave?
Somebody's got to.

What was the point
of slugging this guard?

He put his hands on me.
That is stupid.

That is acting
like a con.
Tell me the truth, John.

If you had hit Larry,
would you be in here now?

Better yet,
if I was your brother,
would I be in here now?

Nathan, I did what
I thought I had to do
on the basketball court.

But for the sake
of argument, let's just
say I did let you down.

Is that any excuse
to throw away
the rest of your life?

My life has already been
taken away.
There is
a lot we can do.

You never meant to hurt Larry.
You were provoked.

A grand jury, Nathan,
will probably see that.

It's no secret Larry was
a loudmouthed douche bag,
may he rest in peace.

Plus, there's the guard.

I'm gonna reach out to him
and maybe he will
cut you some slack.

You think there's a chance
of that?
How bad was it
between you two?

I hit him. He got cut.

You know, man,

the last 13 years have been
like a dream or something, man.

Judy and my babies,

the steady gig.

It's no dream, Nathan.

I want 'em back, man.

I want 'em back.

Well, then you gotta stop
messing up in here.

You understand me?
Yeah.

You all right?
You want the food?

Um--

just do me a favor, man.

Get me out of here.

This is the police!
We have a warrant! You have
ten seconds to open that door!

Eight, nine, ten!
Hit it.

Freeze! Police! Freeze!

Get on the ground!

Gun!

On the ground!

The shooting technique
employed by detective Kelly
this evening...

Isn't taught
on the training range.

Yeah, I developed it
personally.

Yeah. This technique
is known as
"immobilization pattering."

Right? It requires
complete control and
command of your weapon.

The idea being
that you peg shots...

Around the body perimeter
of the perpetrator,

causing him to freeze up
and become immobile.

Yeah, it grew out
of watching hatchet-throwers...

At carnivals
when I was a kid.

I gotta make a trip.
My round.

I'm out, detective.
Yeah?

My wife gets
off shift at the hospital
so I'm gonna pick her up.

Next time.
Good work tonight, man.

Thanks.
Good work.

What, you eat
a lot of spinach?

Night.
See you later.

What do you say?

- Two more.
- All right.

Couple of beers
and another club soda.

Well, I've been
leaving you alone
like you asked me to.

- And I appreciate it.
- But I've been thinking
about you a lot.

I've been thinking about you.
I've been thinking that
we should talk.

That's been my inclination
for a while too.

My marriage is over, so--

I've been alone too much,
and it would be nice to...

Have somebody
to be with and talk to.
I know.

The thing is, with Marino
and the other dead guy aside,

my problem is--

you approached me because
he told you to, right?
Okay.

But we wound up in bed
because I wanted to be there.

And I wanna believe that.
Believe it.

What about the two
dead guys in the car?

They told me
to kill you.

I didn't feel like
I had any other choice
but to do what I did.

I'm not saying
I didn't know that
there were other ways to go.

But with the situation
with my father,

I didn't feel like
I could turn them in.

I've gone over
and over this, and--
enough. All right.

I hear ya. I hear ya.

I guess I could take forever
to make my mind up
about US?

Meanwhile,
our lives are going by.

You take as much time
as you need, John.

I'm not going anywhere.

Nice collar, sipowicz.
Yeah, thanks. Hey. Andy.

Bring 'em on.

Lieutenant.

Canvass of motorists
yesterday you know about.

No progress?
No.

Follow-up canvass
of the area's completed.

No witnesses
or information there either.

On Gerald zimmer,
he's got decent credit,
no apparent money problems.

His insurance--
if anything,
he's underinsured.

He had a term
insurance policy
on himself for $200,000...

And $35,000 on his wife.

- Took those out in may.
- How would you proceed?

If someone made me guess,
I'd say it was a random
potshot from another vehicle.

I suppose I'd work up
requesting-information flyers
for the neighborhood.

I don't know what else
there'd be to do.

Work up the flyers.
Give 'em to the uniform force
to distribute twice a week.

All right.
You guys, put yourselves
back on the wheel.

Good, kid.
Start catching new cases.

Thanks for the help,
Martinez.
No problem, lieutenant.

I'm going over
to Nathan's grand jury hearing.

I hope all
that works out.
Thanks.

Martinez, you got
that work-up on the husband?

Yeah. I'll take
care of it.
Yeah.

I wanna agitate
this guy a little.

- What are you thinking?
- I don't know.
He rubs me the wrong way.

- I'll see you later.
- Yeah.

Mr. Zimmer.

Detective sipowicz, 15 squad.

Yeah, how you doing?

No, I wish I could tell you
that there was a breakthrough.

We're just following up
on a few things here.

Listen. We saw that you
recently took out an
insurance policy on your wife.

I wanted to ask you
was there a particular--

hey, Mr. Zimmer,
you wanna ease off
on the profanity?

I didn't say that.
No one is accusing
you of anything.

We took notice because
you took out that policy
on her pretty recently.

As a rider on your own policy,
virtually a freebie.

I see. Well, I suppose
that might explain it.

Hey, hey, Mr. Zimmer,
I'm talking to you
in a respectful way,

and I'm making
legitimate inquiries here,

so I don't know what you're
getting so excited about.

You don't have anything
to hide, now, do you?

You seem to fly off
the handle anytime anybody
wants to talk to you.

No. I didn't say you
had anything to hide.

I said if you don't,
I wonder why you're
so irritable.

All right, well,
I'm sorry you feel harassed.

Here you go.

I'll say good-bye now.
All right. Yeah.
I'll be in touch.

The other named witnesses
and myself were playing in a
three-on-three basketball game.

Most of US are close friends
and the game has been
going on for years.

This day there was
a dispute over some calls.

The deceased began
pushing Mr. Foster...

And had become
verbally abusive to him.

When Mr. Foster
attempted to walk away,

the decedent
continued to push.

Finally, Mr. Foster
punched him in the face once.

He went down to the floor
and immediately into arrest.

He was pronounced
officially dead
about 20 minutes later.

Detective Kelly, did you
see the decedent assault...

Or threaten
Mr. Foster in any way...

Prior to Mr. Foster
striking the blow?

The decedent was
making racial remarks and
repeatedly pushing Mr. Foster.

Did it appear to you
in your professional capacity...

That Mr. Foster was at risk
or felt himself to be at risk
because of this pushing?

That he was attempting
to defend himself.

I don't think he was at risk.

I think he was attempting
to fend off Mr. Kohnstam.

I didn't ask if he was
attempting to fend him off.
Was he defending himself?

I wanna be very clear
about what happened here...

Because I don't wanna
cause these families
any additional undue grief.

This was not a violent
or vicious confrontation.

One man was being
verbally provoked
and repeatedly pushed.

He struck a blow
in response to that.

The result was out of all
proportion with the intent.

I made the arrest
because that's my job,

not because I thought
I saw a homicide.

But in answer
to my specific question,

your professional opinion
is that the blow,

while it may
have been provoked
by irritation or anger,

was not struck
in self-defense.

Detective.

- I suppose you could say that.
- You're excused, officer.

Hey, guys.
How'd it go in there?

We'll see. You send
the wreath to Seattle?

Yeah. I spoke
to kohnstam's mother.
They got it.

What was on the card?
"He always had
a big mouth."

No, we just put
"with sympathy"
and all our names.

Where's curly?
We need him.
He said he'd be here.

Was Nathan in there?
He's gonna be at the arraignment
for the other charge.

I'm gonna find this guard
he had the beef with,
but please call curly.

We need him here.
He'll be here, John.
He'll be here.

Call him again,
will you?
All right.

Mr. Zimmer.
What's going on?

What's going on is you're
gonna stop badgering me.

We're gonna put an end
to the persecution...

And the subtle accusations
and the innuendo.

That's a great vocabulary
you got there.

What's on your mind?
I've taken a lie
detector test, detective.

I'm giving you the results
and asking you
to leave me alone.

Norman holmgren
gave you the test?

I'm told your department
uses him regularly.

Yeah, we do.
He's a good examiner.

Why don't you
come on upstairs
a minute, Mr. Zimmer.

No, I think we've finished
our business, detective.
Come on.

We can have a cup of coffee
while I look this over.

Come on. We'll be more
comfortable up there.
All right?

Boy, you answered this test
with flying colors, didn't you?

Yes, I did.
These needles
didn't even budge.

"Did you kill your wife Joan?"
"No." "Examiner's opinion--
subject answered truthfully."

"Did you fire a gun?" "No."
"Answered truthfully."

"Were you involved
in any way in a plan
to kill your wife?" "No."

"Did you intend to kill
your wife?" "No."

"Subject answered truthfully."
Subject answered truthfully
is right.

Can I go now?
You're free to go
whenever you want, Mr. Zimmer.

Suppose I set up a test now
down at police Plaza?

Could you go downtown
with me?
What kind of a test?

Another lie detector test.
What for?

Did you write out the questions
on this test you just took?

This test was administered
by a reputable polygraph
examiner.

You still insist
on questioning my honesty?
You insist on harassing me?

If it was me, I'd have asked,

"do you know more
about your wife's death
than you've told the police?"

That one I definitely
would've had on there.

Read the report.
I was not involved.

What is tearing you up
inside, Mr. Zimmer?

What are you doing here?
What do you need to tell me?

I don't need
to tell you anything.

Now, look, I'm not here
to judge you, Mr. Zimmer.

Maybe you were fooling
around on your wife. Is that
what we're talking about?

Did you maybe have
a jealous mistress did this...

And you didn't know anything
that she had planned?

That'd give you the clear
polygraph test and that'd
make you feel terrible now.

My god.
Is that what
we're talking about?

I did it! I killed her!

Now, I'm informing you right now
that you have a right
to an attorney.

You don't understand.
Be quiet a second.

If you don't want an attorney,
I have to hear you decline.

I decline an attorney.
I decline.

- Tell me how you killed her.
- She begged me.

She begged me to stop.

I still killed her.
What did you do?

A man passed me.
He cut me off.

This is
on the f. D. R. Drive.

The son of a bitch,
he cut me off
and he got in front of me.

So I came up on the inside
and I cut back in front of him.

I cut him off
the way he cut me off.

And then this
kept on for a while.

He tried to pass me.
I sped up and trapped him
inside of another car.

I guess he got behind me
and I slowed down
and trapped him again.

And he's blinking his lights.
He's making obscene gestures,

and she's screaming
at me to stop.

But I lost my temper.

And he came up on the inside,
and I sped up and tried
to trap him again.

And the next thing
I knew--

You know the last thing
she said to me?

"Your wife and the mother
of your child is in this car.
Will you please stop?"

And then
I heard a gunshot,

and my wife's face
is covered with...

Blood.

Can you help US with the guy?

Yes. I saw him.

I got the license plate.

I was too ashamed
to tell you.

Yeah. No.
You got him?

Thanks a lot.
-Got him.

- Is that the guy
who wasted zimmer's wife?
- And the gun.

So, how'd you make out
with Nathan?

Grand jury didn't indict.

Medical examiner found
a dissecting aneurysm.
What's that in English?

The poor bastard's
aorta blew up
like a cheap balloon.

- He could've died coughing.
- So your pal's off the hook.

Except for the assault
on the corrections officer.

Kelly.

Yeah. Okay.
I'll be right there.

I'll be back.

You Kelly?
Yeah.

I'm hardwick, corrections.
What can I do for you?

How's the eye?
Couple of stitches,
headache.

I've been there before.
I wanted to talk
to you about that.

Why? You don't have
the paper on it.
It's in the 5th precinct.

Yeah, I know.
And I spoke to detective lugo...

And he knows
that I reached out to you.

Nathan foster
is a friend of mine.

The guy who hit me?
Yeah. I wanted to see
if I can explain things to you.

Like what? He's sorry?
He didn't mean it?
He'll never do it again?

He's a postal worker
and a family man,
and he's living a clean life.

Me too. I got all
those things too.

Does that make it okay for me
to take a piece out of you?

You're pissed off.
I understand that.
I would be too.

I looked this guy up.
He's been in jail before.

As a teenager.
My point is,
the guy was no virgin.

He knew how it works.
He broke the big one.

He hit the "man."
And I ain't here
to be hit or damaged.

I know that
and he does too.
You're sure of that?

You know what's
in this guy's mind?

Hardwick, this guy was
looking at his whole life
going down the drain.

He went off for a second.
The charges that brought him in
have been dismissed.

Do you think you can
find it in your heart
to cut him a break?

See you in court.

Mr. Zimmer,
whenever you're ready.

If you recognize anyone,
just give US his number.

Four. Number four.

How do you know
this man?

That's the man
that shot my wife.
You're sure?

I'm sure.

Get a d. A.
Start the paperwork.

Hell of a job.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Mr. Zimmer, let's go.

Just let me have
a minute, all right?

You okay?
Yeah.

All right.

- You killed my wife!
- Mr. Zimmer!

You killed
my wife, you--
hey!

- You shot her in the face.
- You should have pulled over
and let me pass.

- I got as much right to be
on that road as you do.
- Up yours, pal.

You son of a bitch!
Hey!

You guys want me
to get a couple of those
kiddie car steering wheels...

And you can go
at it again?

- Officer, do you swear
to the truth of the affidavit?
- I do.

Charges are felonious
assault and escape.

Your honor,
the people have agreed
to drop the charge of escape.

- Motions as to the assault?
- The people wish to proceed
as a felony.

- Objection, your honor.
- I'll schedule a hearing
for late next week.

Bail is 20,000.
Can you make that,
Mr. Foster?

No, I cannot, your honor.

Um,

can I say something,
your honor?

I'll give you
a minute's grace...

And advise you
and your attorney that any
statements are for the record.

Thank you, your honor.

I was involved
in a fight with a friend
a few days ago, and he died.

You face no charges here
but assault on a prison guard,

Mr. Foster.
I know that, your honor.

And as much as I would like,

I can't relive that day
or bring that person back,

even though the grand jury
found that it wasn't my fault.

Then,
this man, the guard,

who was just doing his job,
I understand that--

but he was putting me
back into a life...

I felt I had earned
my way out of...

And I got very scared,
and I tried to get away.

I should've never hit him.

And for that,
I am deeply sorry.
I apologize.

But, your honor,
I'm asking,

can I have my family back?

Can I have my life back?

I've tried very hard
to make a life.

Please.

Your honor,
the people are willing
to reduce the charge...

To misdemeanor assault,
and they have
no objection to parole.

Paroled, pending
a hearing or plea.

Great.
Thanks so much
for your help.

Congratulations.

Thanks.
Okay.

Bless me, father,
for I have sinned.

It's been five weeks
since my last confession.

These are my sins.

For your own good,
which is god's glory,

I think you should
try to get in here
a little more often?

This situation that
you're familiar with...

I'm glad it's resolved.

Well, starting off
with a death the way it did,
that was terrible enough.

It didn't need
to get any worse.

I wanted to talk to you
about something else.

I know the church still
regards me as married,

and I've been
working on it.

You know that.
But it's not gonna work out.

Are you interested
in someone else?

I'm not sure.

I mean, yeah, I am.

The doctrine is
to work on your marriage.

And I have been.

But Laura
and I know that...

It's not gonna work.

Well, your involvement with
this other woman, is it--

the other woman,
in terms of my romantic
interest for her,

I don't wanna talk
about that right now.

In what terms then?

Well, she's a good person.

But certain events
have taken place,

and she's ended up
doing something that most
people would thing is wrong.

Do you think it's wrong?

Yeah, I do.
Does she?

So far she
seems okay with it.

If she's the good person
you say she is, she can't be
okay with it. You know that.

- I don't know that.
- Well, I think that's
why you're here.

- Well, what exactly did she do?
- I don't wanna talk about that.

- A venial sin?
A mortal sin? What?
- I can't say.

I'm your priest.
What do you mean, you can't say?

I can't say.
Well, come back here...

When you're ready to stop
acting like a tube steak.

John.

I, expressed myself
inappropriately,

and, I regret it.

Because you're my friend,
you have a special way
of pissing me off.

I know.

You see, in there,

I'm god's priest
and intermediary.

You come
to confession with god,

you come
with an open heart,

which I know you can do.

I'll keep
working on it.
I know you will.

Whoo.

Hello, father.
Gladys, hi.

I do believe I have
a special vocation for the game.

Curly, I think you
have a special vocation
for everything you do.

We might as well start
with a little two-on-two.

Nathan won't show.
Come on, man.
Let's wait awhile.

He will be here.

What makes you think so?
Because I think so.

Even if he shows up,
we'll need a sixth.

We'll never find
the right guy.

Doc, let me ask
you something.

You ever have
a positive thought?

Cancer specialists
don't tend to be optimists.

Look who's here, guys.

Hey, guy.

Nathan.
Hey, how you doing?

Good to see you.
Thanks. You too.

What's happenin'?
Good to see you.

Yeah. What's up, bub?

Whose side you on?
Against you.

For a little while anyway.

We need a sixth man.

Hey, fella, you play?

Not very well.

But that never
stopped you guys.

Come on.

He's gonna be hurt.

We'll take him.
He'll fit right in.

Check it out. Check it out.
Check it out. Check it out.

Give it back.
Check it out
one more time.

One more check.
Give it one more check.

Watch this guy.

- Hey.
- Hey.
