All language subtitles for Ghost Whisperer (2006) - S01E19 - Fury.ro

My name
is melinda gordon.

I just got married,

Just moved to a small town,
just opened up an antique shop.

I might be just like you.

Except from the time
that I was a little girl,

I knew that I could
talk to the dead.

Grandmother:
it's all right, honey.

Earthbound spirits,
my grandmother called them,

The ones who have not
crossed over

Because they have unfinished
business with the living,

And they come
to me for help.

To tell you my story,
I have to tell you theirs.

So today, 25 years after
judge walter merrick

Took his oath of office,

We are here to dedicate
this courthouse in his name.

These qualities have
earned him the deep respect

Which he so richly
deserves.

For judge merrick...

So how come I've never
heard of this guy?

Maybe you need to be
on trial more often.

You're hilarious
yeah.

Fair, impartial,
and open-minded,

A man of learning
and knowledge--

I've seen his name in
the paper a few times.

He gives lots of money
to local charities.

And now I'd like all of you
to stand with me...

on this momentous
occasion...

As we honor this great man.

Maybe he should give
some money for some new
color guard uniforms.

Melinda!

Stop!

He's lucky
you got there in time.

He's lucky he's alive.

I figured this for
a heart attack or a stroke,

But nothing showed up
on the test?

Nothing will.

What did you see?

A man, maybe 40,
and angry.

Very angry.

It's like he was trying

To suck the life
right out of the judge.

Well, he almost
succeeded.

Yeah, things are definitely
changing out there.

I heard that.

What did you feel?

It was almost like
I was being smothered,

Or choking.

I don't know. It's like
there's more and more

Spirits out there
that are dangerous,

And they have even
more power to hurt people.

Maybe even kill them.

Maybe this has been
happening all the time.

Maybe you're just
seeing more now.

I don't think so.

Make sure the crew
takes care of...

Hey, mr. Slade.

Hey!

Man: I was taken
advantage of!

For 18 years, I worked here.
What did I get
for it ?! Nothin'!

No respect! Look at me when
I'm talking to you, fool!

Hey! I grew up in this town.
I had a future.

I got a family.
I got a son.

You don't think I want
to be with my family?

And he took it all
away from me!

You don't deserve
this, judge merrick!

And you will never see this
dedication to your good name!

Never! Never! Never!

So why was he at
the hardware store?

Mike's remodeling.

Sometimes it can
stir things up.

Oh.

Remember how
I was thinking

We should put some
new shelves in the back?

Mm-hmm.
Let's not.

Man: listen to me!

I lost everything!
Where's my justice?

Where's my justice,
huh?!

Where's my justice
for me?!

I'll be right back.

Oh. Um...

Wind--where's it
coming from?

You two!

You two! You think
you're friends?!

That was a nice trip.

You'd get justice,
wouldn't ya?

You know why?
'Cause you're white!

And you, you wouldn't
get nothing!

No justice for you, boy!

No justice for you!

Justice for what?

Excuse me?

I can help you.

Wait. Wait, don't go.

Too late to help!

For my hardware store
to compete

With the big chains
out on the highway,

I've got to update
the store, you know?

Give it a little polish.

Your table's
ready.

Sell some
hard-to-find items.

Uh, you know,
personal service...

The whole deal.

So how's the construction
going? Any problems?

Sure. Everything costs
twice as much

As my contractor
said it would be.

That's not really
what I meant.

I meant, uh, noises,
things being moved, cold drafts.

Things that go
bump in the night?

Did anyone die there?

You know about that?

No, not really.
I'm just trying to learn

Everything I can
about the town, good and bad.

Yeah, it was back when
my dad had the store.

1974 Or '75.

Yeah, one of
the employees
got killed.

In the store?

No, I don't think so.

Why? You think
I might have
ghosts or something?

No. Um, I just have a very
morbid curiosity.

You ever notice
how people

Will shop like crazy
in the pouring rain,

But one clap of thunder and they
scurry home like roaches?

Hmm. Roaches.
Nice visual.

I liked it.

And where is the rain,
by the way?

It's been thundering
for, like, 2 hours

And not a cloud
in the sky.

Here, this is him.

Ely fisher attacked
a white co-worker,
link hofstadter,

When he insulted him.

Ooh. Must have been
one serious insult.

Then link killed him,

But no charges
were ever filed.

Why does that sound
backwards to me?

They were saying
there was rumblings
of racism.

you think?

What? It was almost
30 years ago.

It's hard to imagine
that people still
think like that,

Especially here.

Did I ever tell you
my vodka story?
No.

I was in this liquor store

Looking for a good
bottle of wine,

But they didn't have
a really good selection.

So I'm leaving,
behind this pretty blonde,

And the alarm goes off.

And then the security guard
practically tackles me.

They thought you were
shoplifting?

The blonde had put a bottle
of vodka under her coat,

And she didn't know
there was a sensor on it,

But--well, I was the one
that they saw.

I didn't think
stuff like that
still happened,

At least not in
the city.

It wasn't in the city.

Melinda, it was right here
in grand view.

You see things I don't

And vice-versa.

Yeah, but most people
in this town are
not like that.

Well, I don't know
all of them.

I didn't know
any of them in 1975.

What else does it say?

Ely, he had a wife
and a young son.

Oh! Wait.

Wow. Judge merrick.

Yeah, he was
the prosecuting attorney.

He was also the one
who didn't file charges
against link.

So why is ely suddenly back?

I don't think he's too
happy that judge merrick
is being honored.

All right. I'm ready to do
the whole scurrying roach

Thing myself right now.

See you tomorrow.
Have fun.

Ok, thanks. Bye.

Really,
go ahead and eat.

No, I'll wait.

Lasagna.

Tastes better when
it's reheated, anyway.

I'll be home in an hour.

You sound a little funny.
What's going on?

I'll explain later.

Look, the weather stinks.

Do you have to go see
this judge tonight?

Yeah, I think I do.

Listen, do you know
anybody at the courthouse

That might know where
the fishers moved
after ely died?

Well, that depends.

On what?

On whether or not you really
come home in an hour.

9:02.
Set your watch.

Check.

Drive safe, babe.

Bye.

Stop it!

Thank you.

I'll check on you
later.

The nurse said
someone's coming to
repair the monitor.

I can stay until
they get here.

2 Close calls
in one week.

This is getting
to be a habit.

Is there anything
I can do?

I think saving my life
was enough for one night.

You were at the ceremony,
weren't you?

Um, is there anyone
I can get in touch
with for you?

No. My wife passed
a few years ago.

I haven't seen
my brother in years.

Now, if I die...

I'm sure there would be
a few people happy
to get that call.

People you sent to jail?

Most of them
are still in jail.

My sentences stuck.

I was proud of that.

Ely fisher?

Beg your pardon?

He died in 1975.

You were
a prosecutor then.

1975?

Sweetie, I can barely
remember what I had for
breakfast this morning,

Much less 30 years ago.

Ok. This is gonna
sound strange,

But I think you might
be in danger.

Please.

The only danger I face
is my cholesterol.

And I'm...
Getting a little tired now.

Of course.

Maybe I'll come back
another time.

Mr. Merrick,
are you all right?

Oh...i'm all right.

Yeah, yeah.

Your father
was ely fisher.

He worked at
the hardware store
in grand view.

Who wants to know?

Melinda: my name
is melinda gordon.

How'd you get this
number, lady?

Dad, you said you'd--
just hold on!

One second, buddy.

Melinda: my husband
works for the county,

And he looked up some
courthouse records.

Courthouse?

Yeah. I'm doing
some research,

And I was wondering
if we could discuss it.

I could come to
martinsville.

What do you want, lady?

Daddy, come on.
Hush, jameel.

Melinda: walter merrick.
Do you know him?

Yeah, I know merrick.

He's the man who killed
my mother when I was 7.

Your mother...

I'm sorry. I knew that
your father had died.

My father didn't just die.

My father was murdered.

I can't believe it.

I lose my father,
my mother,

And judge merrick
gets a building
named after him.

What am I sayin'?

Of course I can believe it.

You said he killed
your mother. How?

Do I know you...
Or what you want?

Why should I tell you
anything?

You came here,
didn't you?

I came to visit
my aunt rose.

Well, I think there's
more to the story

Than what's in
the newspaper.

A white man
killed my father
and got away with it.

That's the story.

Come on, dad.
Let's go.

Look, I'm sorry, ok?
I didn't mean to...

To upset you
or your dad.

I just want to help,
both of you.

Help? How are you
gonna help him?

Come here.

Look, you see that store
right there?

That's where your
granddaddy worked.

See that alley down there?

That's where he died.

Your grandfather worked
in that hardware store
for 18 years.

And then mr. Slade hired
that punk link hofstadter.

I don't need to be
treated this way,
not by any man.

Ely. Ely, wait.
It's the only fair way.

With all due respect,
mr. Slade.

I've come to work on time
for 18 years.

Never took one sick day.

And you're gonna start him
at a dollar more an hour
than you pay me?

How is that fair?

You think
I'd work for less

Than some
colored man?

His father,
I owe him a favor.

Oh, yeah, I know.

Everybody around here

Owes the hofstadters
a favor.

And this one can't
tell the difference

Between a lamp shade
an a light socket.

Hey! You watch
your mouth, boy!

And that night...

That night,
link waited on him,

Jumped him and killed him
in cold blood.

Dad, my hand.

Link said that
it was self-defense.

And the newspapers,
they said--

The hofstadters
own the newspapers.

And they own
half the mortgages

On the properties
in grand view.

But there were
no witnesses.

I heard there was a witness,

And the hofstadters
paid them off,
whoever they were.

Is there any proof?

That's just what
merrick said,

The man whose name is on
that plaque back there.

Go away! Get lost!

I was about
the same age as jameel.

And my mother
couldn't believe

That merrick was not
gonna press charges.

Randall:
my mother wasn't gonna
just let it go.

She wanted justice.

But judge merrick told her
there were no witnesses

And that it was
link's word against hers.

But she knew.

Your husband
threatened to kill link.

There was a witness!

Randall:
she knew my father would
never hurt anyone.

It was self-defense.

At least put it in front
of a grand jury.

Let them decide.

Randall: my mother
died that day.

They said it was
a heart attack,

And I guess they
were right,

'Cause her heart
broke that day.

That's a horrible thing
for a 7-year-old to see.

Do you think
I want your sympathy?

Do you know
what became of link?

Yeah, I kept track
of that bastard.

He got sick a couple
of years ago and died...

In the comfort
of his home...

Surrounded by
his wife and kids.

Get out of here!

Come on!

You know what's weird?
Ely never showed himself today.

Maybe he's all gone now.

That's what I love about you:
forever an optimist.

No, it was more like standing
on that square,

You could see ely's anger
on his son's face.

They make the same
expressions when they're mad...

Which is all the time.

Well, the man's father
was killed,

Probably in
a hate crime.

Nothing was done.

That would pretty much
make me mad
all the time.

I get it. I do.
It's just...

So sad to see such
an angry little boy,

That hatred passed on
from father to son.

That's the way
of the world, my love.

Always has been.

You know, maybe
if I get them together,

The judge could tell
randall what happened

And break the cycle.
Right.

And then you could
get started

On that pesky little
gaza strip thing.

I'm serious.

There's a reason
that I am pulled into
these people's lives.

I know, I know.

Some things are
beyond your help,
anybody's help.

Some people,
all they want to do

Is hold on
to their hatred.

Well, I won't know
unless I try.

Wait. You mean now?

Yeah. I can't sleep, anyway.

I'm coming with you.

No. You might scare him off.

He does not sound like
a guy who scares easy.

Please? There's
nothing you can do.

Wait.
What are you saying?

I'm supposed
to wait here

While you go out
in this weather

Looking for this...
Whatever he is?

No. Don't wait.
Get some rest.

I'll be home soon.

Who are you?

What do you want?!

What have I done to you?!

I know what
happened to you,

To your wife
and your son.

What about my son?

He's in pain.

He is filled
with hatred.

He should be.

No, you're wrong.

It's gonna ruin
his life.

Look, I can help you
talk to the judge--

I'll talk to him
when he's dead like me,

And that's what
I'll make him

Before he ever
gets a chance

To see that dedication
to his good name.

Don't do this.
There's a better way.

I'm taking him!

You better stand back,

Or I may have
to take you, too.

There are
people over here

Who are very
interested in you.

Aah!
Hey, it's ok.

It's ok. Don't be mad.

I spent a lot of time
on that case.

Interviewed dozens
of people.

I was a brand-new
prosecutor,

And I wanted to
make my bones.

The hofstadters
were very powerful.

Is that why you decided
not to prosecute?

No. If ambition were
my only concern,

A murder trial would
have been the best way

To get my name
in the papers.

Everything isn't
in black and white.

Interesting
choice of words.

No, I knew
link hofstadter.

I knew his family.
He was a fine young man.

You want to know
what really happened
that night?

I come to work on time
for 18 years, damn you,

Took crap from
customers who let me

Carry their refrigerator
through the damn door

And then got nervous
when I took it inside.

Customers who made me put
their change on the counter

So we wouldn't
accidentally touch hands.

But I took it.
Oh, I smiled.

I said thank you,
and you're paying him

A dollar more an hour
than you pay me?

His father,
I owe him a favor.

A dollar more!

And this meathead can't
tell the difference

Between a lampshade
and a light socket.

I'd watch your
mouth, boy.

Don't you ever
call me boy.

You dumbass cracker.

Just stop it. Call me boy
again, you're dead!

That's enough.
We're ok.

I won't have this.
Not in my store.

One more fight,
I fire you both.

Merrick, voice-over:
that night, ely waited for him.

Ely could take care
of himself.

He was good with his fists.

Hey, boy,

I got somethin'
for you.

Come on.
Come on, cracker.

Show me what you got.

Come on.

Come on, cracker!
Come on, show me
what you got.

I'm not losing
my job over you.

Come on.

Come on, boy.

Come on, boy.

Come on.

Merrick, voice-over:
it was a case of self-defense.

Melinda:
how do you know that?

You weren't even there.

I took statements

From the people who
saw the two of them

Arguing in the street.

The medical reports backed
up everything link said.

I came to this very hospital
to question him that night.

He had two broken ribs,

And he needed 19 stitches
to close up his cheek.

And ely?

The blow to his head
killed him instantly.

Link was all
torn up about it.

I doubt he ever
forgave himself.

There were rumors
about a witness.

Oh, I know about the rumors,

And they were never
substantiated, not one.

Why are you digging
all this up? Why now?

Ely's family feels
like there was

An injustice done.

I'm sure they do.

It was a tragedy
from every side.

But you can't bring
criminal charges

Against a man,
ruin his good name,

Maybe taint him for life,
for defending himself.

Daddy,
why are you crying?

Look, I'm not crying.

It's just the wind.

It blew something
in my eye.

It's real windy
in the square.

Then why are we
sitting here so long?

Maybe...

I don't know.

Makes me feel
closer to my dad.

I feel a little mixed up.

Come on, let's go.

But, daddy, you told me
never to cry.

Yeah, that's right.

Don't you ever let
anybody make you cry.

You only trust
your own kind.

That's how
you stay strong.

That's how
you stay ready.

Ready for what?

Ready for places
like this.

He looks just like
in the pictures.

Who?

What are you talking
about, jameel?

Grandpa.

Come on, let's go.

But, dad, he's standing
right there. I swear.

I think I'm getting
carpal tunnel syndrome.

No way, our insurance
doesn't cov...

The boy,
he can see me.

Lots of kids
can see spirits.

Uh, are you talking to me?

Okay, should I get ready

To run screaming
from the store?

I'll get back to you
on that one.

How come
he can see me?

I don't really know.

They usually grow out
of it by the time
they're eight or nine,

When they realize they're
not supposed to be seeing them.

Your grandson's
seven, I think.

So why didn't you talk to him?

I don't know what to say.

Yes, you do.

Wait, hey, oh, no.

Are you gonna leave me
here alone with the...

All right.

I'll be in
the back if, uh...

If you need me.

Hi.

There's something I need
to show you in my store.

Where are we going,
daddy?

Don't worry
about it.

What's your name?
Jameel.
Jameel fisher.

Mm-hmm, second grade.

Who's he talking to?

What's going on here?

The other night
when I called,

It was because I had
seen your father.

What're you talking about?
My father's dead.

Your dad, he can't
see me, can he?

No, just me and the lady.

What're you, some
kind of grifter, huh?

What, you're gonna tell
me my future next?

Look, I have this gift.

Do you still live here?

No, but I did.

All my life.

I was born in the same house
your aunt rose lives in now.

Wait a minute,
you were born in a house?

What?

Back then,
lots of people were.

Couldn't afford
the hospitals.

Granddaddy was born
in a house, not a hospital.

They were too poor.

How are you doing this?

I'm not.

Me and your aunt rose,

We slept in a dresser
drawer when we were babies.

Then celia came along,
they finally bought a crib.

Who's celia?

Celia.

She passed when she
was just a little thing.

She drowned down
in a pond.

I was supposed
to be watching her.

Daddy, is that why
you won't let me go
swimming unless you watch?

'Cause granddaddy wasn't
watching celia?

All right,
what is this?

Only me and my family
knows that story.

Your father knows.

My father.

He's here.

He is, daddy.

All right,
if granddad's here,

Ask him what
happened that night.

It's not like what
link hofstadter said.

Came out of the barn,

And I could smell
the alcohol on him.

Hey, sambo.

Come here.

I got something for you.

Mr. Hofstadter,
I didn't mean nothing

About what I said
at the store today.

Come on, boy,
show me some of
your sass now!

I'm not losing
my job over you.

I heard his ribs crack.

But he wasn't
gonna let me win.

What would he tell
his redneck friends?

It wasn't like
link said.

I was just going
to get some milk

For your daddy's breakfast.

My daddy gives me milk
for my breakfast too.

He wasn't looking
for a fight.

That's what my mom said.

Nobody would listen.

She cried, she cried,

She couldn't work.
She lost her job.

I just wanted to find
a way to make them pay,

Link and that prosecutor.

He wanted to punish
link and merrick.

Well, wait,
if he's still here,

After all this time,

How come he didn't
talk to me?

I was the same age
as jameel is right now.

I didn't know I could.

I was just trying to
make them pay.

You know what it
would've meant, pop?

If I could just see you?

To just know that
you were there?

Teach me the things
that a father

Is supposed
to teach his son.

It's not like
that, randall.

He just didn't know
that he could.

What about mom?

Where were you
when she died?

And where is she?

Tell him I was
there that day.

Rachel saw this light,

She wanted me to come
with her, but I couldn't,
I just couldn't.

Your mother
crossed over.

And your father
couldn't because
he was too angry.

Well, I know all
about the anger,

All right, 'cause
that's all he left me.

What good has it done, huh?

Wait!

Back there you asked
me where he was

When you needed him
to teach you the things

Fathers teach
their sons.

There are some things
you need to teach your son.

Maybe even some things
you need to teach
your father.

Yeah, well,
my father's gone.

Either you're working
some scam,

Or you're just
plain crazy.

I'm not,
and you know it.

She's not, daddy.

Please, come with me
to see judge merrick.

And do what?
Lay this to rest.

Come in.

She your boss?

Um, she's my partner.

You're partners
with a white lady?

Well, she's also
my friend, jameel.

She's my best friend.

My dad says that people
wouldn't fight

If they stuck with
their own kind.

Well, your dad's
a pretty smart guy.

You know what
my kind is?

Here.

People who are
respectful of others,

People who are
intelligent, kind, funny,

Nice to kids,
people like melinda.

She's funny?
Oh, she's so funny.

See that's the thing
about people, jameel.

You don't know who they are
just by looking at them.

You have to get to know them.

But your dad is
absolutely right.

Once you find out that
someone's your kind,

You stick with them.

You owe me.

Can I do anything for you?

Rain check.

Yeah, I remember,
but not now, ok?

It's your turn to help me.

And it's got to be now.

Why?

Because I was working here

The night they brought
link hofstadter in.

I waited two hours
for the son of a bitch.

I was just gonna
throw him a beating.

Show him how he has
to treat a white man.

You're the witness.

He told me everything.

Well...

This is a nice
send-off.

They're letting
me out on parole.

I suggested they sentence me
to community service, but...

I'm sorry,
do I know you?

This is randall fisher,

Ely's son.

The two of you will
have to excuse me.

I've got to get dressed.

There was a witness,
wasn't there?

A nurse,
who came to you.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I'm going home now.

Hey, I wasn't
gonna end him.

Maybe he shouldn't have
raised his hands to me.

You know, he should've just
taken what he had coming.

Maybe then I would've
left him alive.

Hey, come here.

We have to keep
this place safe.

For our kind.

But that's not it,
is it?

The e.r. Nurse came to you
and told you

What link had said to her.

Mr. Merrick,

I'm the nurse
who called you.

Link told me
everything.

I talked to link, too.
He was drunk.

Doesn't want people to think
he got jumped by a black man

In an alley and he
didn't defend himself.

That's not the story.

Well, it's a case I can't win.
So the case is closed.

The next day
there was $5,000 in
my checking account.

The hofstadters put $5,000
into her checking account.

What?

I didn't know, I swear.
She never told me.

She tried to tell you
once,

But you told her that
the case was closed.

But if I'd known
they paid her...

You should've looked
again.

But you wanted
to look away.

How do you know
all of this, anyway?

How do I know you
didn't just invent it?

It's the truth.

Check the bank records
if you don't believe me,

But the easier way
is just to do nothing.

This was a stupid argument
that got out of hand.

It was an argument over
a dollar an hour.

This had nothing to do
with a dollar an hour

Or a seat on a bus
or a water fountain.

This is about something
bigger, and you know it.

I didn't know
about the money.

Well, you do now.

I just didn't believe

He could've done
something like this.

We know what you believe,
judge, then and now,

And we both know why
you looked away, don't we?

Walter merrick was
not only a judge

At this courthouse
for 25 years,

He was instrumental
in restoring grandview

To the town many
of us grew up in.

The storm has passed. He's
healthy and strong as ever.

Judge walter merrick.

Thank you very much.

I've been recognized
as many things in this town.

A tough but fair-minded judge,

A deacon of my church,

A good husband.

The one thing I was
not known as...

Is a racist.

30 Years ago,

A black man, ely fisher, was
killed right in the square.

The plain truth is,

I assumed ely fisher
was the guilty one.

I made a judgment call
that was callous and bigoted.

It would be easy to say
it was 30 years ago,

But the truth is

That I was that same
man until yesterday.

Despite great progress
in this country,

Racism is still
very much alive.

It can be subtle,

Handed down from
generation to generation.

This tragedy is my shame.

My debt.

But, if it becomes
a reason to change,

For even one of you,
or one of your children,

Ely fisher's death will
have gained new meaning.

So later today, I will
officially recommend

That this plaque be removed

And that a new one
replace it,

One that dedicates

This courthouse
to ely fisher.

Hey, there's grandpa.

Where'd grandpa go?

Man at podium:
thank you all for coming,

And enjoy
the festivities.

Is he gone for good?

I don't know.

Ely...

Grandpa, daddy needs
to talk to you.

I'm right here.

Jameel:
he's here.

Ask him how he feels.

I hardly know.

I'm glad the right
thing was done,

But it don't
change much.

Thought I'd feel
happy, like I won.

I don't think
anyone won.

He's glad that
the truth came out,

But it didn't change much.

It does, pop.

I thought staying mad
all that time
really gave me something--

Something to stay here for,
something to keep me going.

But it took a lot away, too.

From me, from you,
even jameel.

And that's got to stop.

I'm not mad, grandpa.

That's good, little man.

And you make sure your pops
doesn't stay mad, either.

You tell him he can
let go of this now.

He's got a clean slate.

So do i.

I see it.

That light.

I guess it's time.

You're ready.

Time for what, grandpa?

To see your grandma
rachel

And your aunt celia.

Can I meet them?

No,
not quite yet.

He looks like
his mother.

That's a good thing,
too.

He's glad that you
look like your mother.

I thought...

That it would hurt too much

If I knew you...

Or if I remembered
you too well.

But you left such
a big hole.

Tell him
he grew up strong

And I'm proud
of him for that,

But he's got to
grow up soft now.

He's got to teach
his son to be both.

Tell him I said
goodbye.

I will.

Ely, wait.

Before, you said
that there are

People who are
interested in me.

Who and why me?

I was mad. I didn't
mean to scare you.

What did you mean?

I don't know.
I'm not sure.

There's a lot
I don't understand.

They know about you.

And not everybody is
happy about what you do.
