Original subtitles

That you're gonna keep your mouth shut and stay out of our lives.

It's my life, right?

Isn't that what you said? My life, my kid?

Right? Yeah.

Promise me.

I promise you.

Hey, Oliver.

Hi, Annie.

Oliver... Puberty.

Okay. "Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Not guilty." What?

That's what it says. Calm down.

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Not guilty."

Two... So we have 10 guiltys

and two not guiltys.

Wait a minute.

I mean, I'm sorry, but how can anybody think this guy is not guilty?

I mean, who voted not guilty? Can I ask?

You can ask, but nobody has to say if they don't want to.

I voted not guilty. You did? Why?

I don't think the government proved its case.

Guys, guys, come on. "Proved?" It's open and shut.

So you say.

I mean, we have the tape, right? Did you hear the tape?

So you say.

Roland, you're gonna drive me nuts.

Look, suppose they were all lying, all the witnesses.

The cop, the mule, DeCicco.

We still got the goddamn tape.

I mean, it's on the tape that he says... What is it about the tunnel?

Yeah. I says to the Teacher, I says,

"You wanna dig a tunnel, dig a tunnel, kill that cocksucker."

I mean, you think he's talking about the Tunnel of Love?

Hold on.

Don't tell me you're the other one. For Christ's sakes.

Look, that tape, I mean, does that prove anything?

I mean, it wasn't a direct order. Right.

"Kill that cocksucker." That's not a direct order?

Come on, he could've just been bragging. He was bragging.

He was bragging how he'd send a hit man to kill Riggio.

You know, maybe it's not fair to pick on the not guiltys.

You know, maybe we should have to explain our case. You know?

What's our evidence? Let's start with that.

This is ridiculous.

Man, come on, sit down. It's the process.

We're gonna be stuck in that motel for weeks.

Despite substantial evidence

in the State's case against mob boss, Louie Boffano,

speculation turns toward the possibility of a hung jury

as deliberations move into the third day. In other news...

I wanna know why you're not leaning on the union guy.

It's making me nervous.

Because he's not powerful enough. That's why.

Oh, is that right?

So this artist broad, she's the one with the power now, huh?

We hope so, yeah.

Well, you know what I think?

I wanna go with the union guy.

And when my father's away, I'm the boss of this family,

so I think you'd better listen to what I'm telling you, okay?

Let's go.

Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Joseph.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Whoa!

Go back to the car.

Let me ask you something.

Do you take money from my family?

I take a great deal of money from your family,

but that doesn't make you in charge.

I mean, Joseph, your father knows what's going on.

I don't like you, okay?

I don't like what you're doing to my family,

I don't like the shit you're getting us into with these Cali assholes,

these fucking guys from Calabria!

You act like you're some fancy, sweet-smelling piece of shit.

You're from the same neighborhood that I'm from,

that my father's from.

You know what I think?

I think you're just a sick fuck.

I know you're a friendless fuck.

You always was, even when you was a little kid.

Even Eddie.

He thought you were smart, he brought you into the family,

but even him, he don't like you.

Nobody likes you.

Come on.

I got work to do.

Hey, listen to me!

Go with that union guy.

Hello? - When your roommate falls asleep again,

come out to the balcony and slide the door shut behind you.

Annie.

Come here.

I want you to take this and stand over there and pretend to be smoking.

It's risky to talk but I wanted you to know, Annie,

that you're never out of my thoughts.

Will we win?

No. Why not?

He's guilty.

The others, they know it.

Annie, if the jury hangs, if there's a mistrial,

then the people I work for, they will hurt you just to punish me.

Hold on a second.

That's not part of the deal.

I thought if I kept voting not guilty...

No, no, we have to have an acquittal.

Do you understand? We have to win this thing.

You're out of your mind.

Annie, that's why I chose you.

I chose you over all of the other jurors because I know who you are

when you wake up. Look, I can't turn black into white.

Louie Boffano could not possibly have done this.

You have to teach them that. He doesn't have the brains,

he doesn't have the courage, he's a clown, he's disposable.

But you, on the other hand, can do what I'm asking you to do

because you have the spine.

That's what you and I have in common.

We're artists.

We're intelligent. We have passion.

But Louie Boffano? Please.

It just isn't possible.

What do you want me to do? Threaten them?

The jury is afraid.

They're instinct is to acquit.

They're just waiting for somebody like you to march in there

and give them the excuse to do it.

I can't.

You will.

I got you something.

And I want you to wear it.

Please take it.

Don't worry.

I'll be with you every step of the way.

You're being completely unreasonable.

Two people testified against the Teacher.

They talk about him on the tape!

How can you admit he didn't even exist?

I don't know who he is!

It doesn't matter who he is!

The only thing that matters is you know how powerful he is.

Can't you see that? Didn't that get through to you?

Annie. What?

There's no need to raise your voice here. - Sorry.

What, are you crazy? Kayaking?

Well, actually, what I love the most is ocean kayaking.

Like down South at night.

You know, there's this phosphor in the water...

What would you like? Fruit punch.

And it's like...

Thanks. It's, like, lit, you know?

It's beautiful, it's amazing. Really?

It's an amazing thing to see.

You're pretty wild. You are quite a free spirit.

Well, you know...

You know, I was thinking that maybe, if you'd like,

after this is over,

we could go kayaking together on the Hudson sometime.

I'd really like that. That can be really great.

Sometime.

Really? That's cool. Mmm-hmm.

Think about how they sounded when they said his name, "The Teacher".

Almost whispering.

And that guy, DeCicco, when he said "The Teacher,"

he was looking around that courtroom and he was scared to death.

Bullshit. Hey, take it easy.

Well, no, it's all right. Go ahead, Barry. What?

God damn it. Boffano is the boss! They work for him!

Thank you.

I don't know.

I think maybe Annie's got a point here.

Okay. Wait, okay?

They've got all of these deals. Cali, the Calabrians,

the government of... What is that? The government of what?

Curacao, okay, so they've got that, they've got Jamaican runners.

So there this whole huge web

with one spider sitting in the middle of it,

one guy scheming this whole thing.

And you think that's Louie Boffano?

All right, so the Teacher advises him. Big deal.

The Teacher doesn't advise Boffano. Uh-huh.

He told him, "I'm gonna dig a tunnel to Riggio's house and I'm gonna kill him."

But Boffano gave his okay. He said, "Kill that cocksucker."

Okay, so suppose I said, "I'm gonna kill this guy right here."

And you said, "You know what? Great. Do that. Kill that cocksucker."

Now, does that make you a murderer?

I don't believe this. You really want us to let this grease ball go free?

You know, I really don't care for the term grease ball.

All right, I'm sorry. But, I mean, how much goddamn evidence

do you people want? - Evidence, you know that's there...

I don't get it.

It isn't what we want.

The evidence to get is beyond a reasonable doubt...

"Reasonable." That's what I'm talking about.

Listen. What the hell is reasonable?

Use common sense.

Does that mean every infinitesimal, little,

teeny bit of goddamn anything that's possible?

Can I finish, please? Why should we let you go on and on?

You're not saying anything new.

So what are you thinking?

What I'm thinking is these people are scum.

You know what?

I don't care anymore, one way or the other.

I'm tired.

Reasonable doubt. You got it. Hold on a minute.

Maybe I don't understand the evidence.

But I know a kid got killed. That's it.

I mean, a little boy.

And if we set this guy free,

I know what he's going to do.

He's going to go right back to selling drugs,

hurting more people.

Annie, I don't need evidence for that.

I know it.

And, Laura,

the evidence says that the Teacher ordered the killing,

not Boffano. The Teacher.

Do you have a child?

What does that have to do with it?

It has everything to do with it.

I have a boy, Laura.

And I am terrified that something could happen to him some day.

And I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking that we've got to protect the children.

There's all of this chaos and it just keeps getting worse and worse.

And there's nowhere to go to get away from it.

But the law says that if they don't prove that Boffano committed the crimes

he's charged with, prove beyond a reasonable doubt,

then we have to set him free.

We have to, even though we hate it.

And you just pray that you get him next time.

But if you twist the law even just a little for the best of reasons,

then the law loses whatever power it's got.

And then my child is in even more danger than before.

And so are your grandchildren.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?

On both counts, we find the defendant not guilty.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

Prisoner is released. This court is adjourned.

Justice! Yeah!

But he's so right for us, isn't he, folks?

Let's hear it for him!

Welcome home, Louie!

Hey!

We tipped the scales on our side, eh?

This is to the trial being over.

And to a friend being home. Finally.

Drink up.

Mmm!

I got a new boyfriend.

Okay, I know what you're thinking, but he's a very cool guy.

Takes pictures, travels around the world.

God, I'm having just so much fun right now, I can't stand it.

Are you guys fabulous?

Your wonderful personalities are coming right out...

I don't feel like celebrating. Can I be excused?

Congratulations, Louie.

I wasn't concerned, you know?

Not for a minute!

I swear, if I'm lying, may God strike me dead on this spot.

Come here, come here.

Congratulations, Louie. Wonderful.

You know, that jury lady,

I didn't like the way she looked at me.

She made me a little uncomfortable.

Well, she's afraid of you, Louie.

But I wouldn't worry about it. She's not gonna be a problem.

No problem at all.

"No problem?" What, is everything no problem to you?

The last time I heard "no problem" from you was with Sal fucking Riggio,

and then there's some kid who was there that you should've known about,

but you didn't, and bada-bing my father's on trial for his fucking life!

Two made guys whack each other. Who gives a fuck?

But you killed a kid.

Now the state's got a hard on for my family ten fucking yards long

because you killed a kid!

Oh, hey. Whoa, whoa.

Hey.

You're my son. My son.

What are you gonna do?

He worries about me.

He thinks you're a psycho.

Whatever he says, he says out of love for his father, so...

Go ahead.

Give me the money.

Are you sure we're not gonna have any problem with this woman?

Don't worry about it, Louie. No problem.

I got my eye on her.

Miss Laird, get up quietly, speak to no one. Come with me.

Your bank account shot up to $12,000 last month.

I sold some art work. Good for you.

But you know what?

We don't really care how you got it.

'Cause we don't think you did this for the money.

We think these guys scared you.

They're still scaring you.

Now it's time to stop being scared.

Let us get you out of this mess.

How would you do that?

You help us, you testify for us,

we're gonna put you somewhere safe. You and your boy.

And then what? Whatever you want.

The mob aren't what they used to be, Ms. Laird.

They don't often kill civilians.

Now can I go? Not yet.

Yeah, hold it.

Well, then I'd like to make this quick,

'cause I wanna to get home before my kid gets out of school.

Send a car over and have the kid picked up.

No! You just stay away from my house!

You put me in danger when you come around my house,

don't you bastards understand that?

In danger, Ms. Laird? From what?

From the man in the moon.

Suppose there were an unfortunate leak to the press

to the effect that you were cooperating?

"Juror brings tampering charges against Boffano."

That'd make a great story, wouldn't it?

You know, you do this, and they'll kill my child.

No, they won't. You help us, they won't. They always threaten. Always.

But they don't do squat.

Who else is gonna protect you?

Look, I'm not saying no.

But I'm gonna need some time to think about this.

How much time? Oh, just a day or two.

But you keep your people away from us.

You wanna watch me, okay.

But don't you let anybody know you're watching. Do you hear me?

I'll give you 48 hours.

When you're ready to talk, find a secure line. Dial this number.

You can trust anybody in this room.

Paul!

I had a shitty day.

Let's see what we can do about that. Oh, good.

Shake it!

Give me another one. That's a bad idea.

I'm a doctor. I know what I'm doing.

I want you to do something for me.

What else? What else could I possibly do for you?

I want you to take these.

What are they?

Secobarbital and Amobarbital.

Stuff like that.

No, I don't want you to take them for me.

I want you to do it for Oliver.

Who are you?

Well, haven't you figured that out yet?

I'm Annie's friend.

You had all the answers when you told Annie to go see that judge, didn't you?

When you put Oliver at risk. This boy that you care so much about.

Then you had ice in your veins.

Then you wanted to be the big heroine.

Now I'm gonna give you a chance to be a real heroine.

Because after what you've done, this is Oliver's only chance.

I care about him just as much as you do but I will kill him.

I told Annie what would happen if she betrayed us.

And I am a man of my word.

The way of power is the unvarying way.

Now the police are with Annie

and we have to give her a little taste of grief to save Oliver.

Just a little inoculation to make sure she stays afraid.

No! No! Take it.

No! Take it. Take it.

Fuck. Help!

Take it.

There. Drink it. Drink.

It's all right. Digest.

No one at the hospital would believe it. Why would she kill herself...

She's gone.

I don't know if the feds got her in a safe house or something.

But she cleared out all her bank accounts.

She took that money you gave her.

And she's gone. Oh, hey, it's all right.

I mean, she's never gonna betray us.

What are you kidding me? She hates our fucking guts.

All she needs is some time to be alone.

I'm so sick of that bullshit with you.

How the fuck do you know that?

Because a friend of hers died last night.

Who died?

The doctor.

Annie is in great danger and her child is in great danger

and I will do everything that I can to protect them.

Now what part of that don't you understand?

I mean, I could explain it to you.

That's all right.

I don't need your explanations.

Hello?

Um, Miss Emma Faldo? Yes, speaking.

Yes. This is John Slivey in New York.

Your cousin, Annie Laird, was working for me up until about a week ago

and she listed you as an emergency contact

and I have a paycheck for her and no way to reach her.

Do you happen to know where I can... I'm sorry. I can't help you.

No? No, I'm sorry.

I see.

Well, that's too bad. I wish I could be of more help.

Anybody else in the family might know how to...

No, I don't think so. ...reach her?

Not since... Really?

It is easy to lose touch.

Gracias.

Gracias.

Talk about a surprise! God!

Uncle Boone. Oliver! Look at you! Hey!

Here. Over here.

You guys are gonna love it here.

You know, tomorrow I'm gonna take you to this beautiful Mayan altar.

Wish I had more time!

More time? Annie, when you live here, it's all you have, is time.

I have to go back. And I need you to take care of Oliver.

What? Wait a minute.

Look, you have to do it. There's no one else.

There's no way you're going back. You're not leaving.

I'm not letting you go back. It's not your choice.

Your choice is you can take care of Oliver,

or you can send him home with me to be killed.

And I'm asking you to take care of Oliver.

I know what I'm asking. I know it's too much.

But there's no one.

There's nobody else I've got to go to.

Please. You're my oldest friend.

Why do you want to go back?

I have to.

Hello? - Yeah, she came back.

She what?

She came back. Just like you said she would.

Yeah, she wants to meet you tomorrow. 1:00.

Hey. Yeah, I'm here.

Why the fuck would she come back?

Huh?

Well, she had to come back.

She got her child to safety. She took him to this little village in Guatemala.

Some place that I could never find them. And she had to come back.

I mean, everything that we've been through is like a marriage,

Annie and I.

She couldn't let it go. She couldn't.

Yeah.

No, it's too dangerous. But it's the only way.

If he finds out you're wired, you're dead. He won't.

What if he pats you down? He won't.

He thinks that I'm timid. He would never touch me unless I wanted him to.

He likes to be thought of as a gentleman.

Ms. Laird, I don't wanna lose control here.

I don't wanna put you in an unsafe situation.

Oh, and you think that I'm safe here with you?

Listen. Please, just give me the wire. Please.

I will get you such juicy stuff on Boffano

that you could lock him up for the rest of his fucking life.

You could put them all away.

What do you think of them?

My guardians. They're clueless. Incompetent.

They irritate me. You know what irritates me most is their weakness.

Well, I think that you should forgive them.

Their hearts are fine and they do love you, Annie.

Don't tell me that.

Don't you talk to me about love and forgiveness.

Oh, you bastard!

I hate you, you know that I would kill you if I could.

Or is this the lesson for today, Teacher?

Or is it how terror is doing me so much good?

How strong it's gonna make me?

Or is it how your love is gonna save my child?

Annie... You shut up!

Don't you smile at me.

Don't you ever fucking think you can smile at me.

Don't you even look at me.

You wanna know what I hate most?

I hate that you were right.

I am stronger.

Annie...

Is that all that you feel?

Stop. Just stop.

Do you hear that?

I went back to my studio again. Looked at all my old work.

And it all seemed just so restrained. Smothered.

No fire. No guts. Just the way my life has always been.

Smother the passion. Anything that you're frightened of,

lock it out.

I don't wanna live like that anymore.

I don't want any more weakness.

And this is what I don't understand.

You have all of this strength and you work for Louie Boffano, that...

Goon.

Well, he's your friend.

Louie Boffano doesn't have any friends.

He's a monster. And like most monsters, he commands some respect.

But not for long.

My colleagues from Cali are growing very tired of him.

Are you gonna get rid of him?

Well, eventually we'll discard Old Louie,

but for the time being, we might keep him as a figure head.

Take the heat off of me. Let him be a mountain. I'll be a ravine.

God, I'd like to have a place like this someday.

With a farmhouse, wood floors, a child playing in the yard.

A child like Oliver.

And after that, I want nothing

but love.

Do you think I can turn myself into sheer love, Annie?

Do you think I have that power?

I'm sorry that you hate me.

Because I do love you.

What the hell were you doing?

The door opens, the door shuts. Then nothing.

Look, Eddie was driving around.

The Teacher just never showed up.

Look, maybe he guessed something was going on.

How would he guess that?

I don't know. You figure it out. Me, I'm going home.

We're not done yet, Ms. Laird.

Oh, yes, we are.

If you want anything else out of me tonight,

you're gonna have to arrest me.

Annie?

Don't call me Annie.

Ms. Laird?

Who the hell is this?

Stop. It's okay. It's okay. I know her.

Hey, what are you, deaf? I said stop. It's okay.

I said stop. It's okay. I know her.

You know her? Yes.

Mr. Boffano, I need to talk to you.

What can I do for you?

Do you recognize me?

Yeah, sure. You're the juror lady.

What do you want?

I have something to show you.

You got something for me?

What? A gift.

I give you a gift and you leave me, my friends and my family alone.

Of course. I would never hurt your family, nor you, nor nobody.

Lady, I don't even know you...

Swear it, Louie, and I'll give you your gift.

Hey, I'm not interested in your fucking gift.

Oh, yes, you are. Lady.

Hey, hey. Easy, easy, easy.

She's got something you gotta hear.

Come here. Go ahead.

Louie Boffano doesn't have any friends.

He's a monster. And like most monsters, he commands some respect.

But not for long.

My colleagues from Cali are growing very tired of him.

Did you enjoy that, Mr. Boffano?

Would you like to hear more?

When did you tape this?

Yesterday.

And who wired you? I wired myself.

Let me have it.

Not until you swear. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I swear.

I'm out of your life forever. Let me have it.

I wouldn't waste any time.

Vince. Hey, Ed. What are you doing here?

Louie wants to meet.

When? Today. 6:00. Palisades.

I don't know. The meetings are so risky, you know.

I mean, can't you just tell him to relax?

Yeah, yeah. Sure, I'll tell him. No, he says it's important.

Why all this urgency?

It's about Annie.

He says he can't trust her.

Wants her taken out.

What do you think, Ed? You think she needs to be taken out?

Since when does anybody give a shit what I think? Right?

Well, I mean, you just seemed to have developed

a certain amount of fondness for her lately, you know.

Yeah, well, that's history.

It's just business, right?

Yeah. Well...

Do what you gotta do. 6:00, right? Yeah.

So every other day of the year, they call him San Simon,

and they treat him with great respect.

But tomorrow, they'll call him by his real name.

Judas.

They take him to that tree over there and they hang him.

Oliver?

What's wrong?

When's she coming back? Dr. Boone!

Doctor! Hey, just one second.

Oliver, she left you here because she loves you, okay?

Yeah.

Here. Go have some fun, all right. I gotta go deal with this.

I'll catch up with you, all right.

I don't think we have to worry about that.

Yeah. What's in the case?

Open it up.

I'll just have to get back to you.

Vincent. I'm glad you came.

What's this?

I want you to take your money back.

Things got a little more complicated than we hoped,

so the money's yours.

Let's walk. We need to talk. Mmm?

It's more than 10 years, we've been working together. Isn't that right?

Yeah. You know what...

I don't know the first thing about what makes you tick.

Isn't that funny?

I mean, in all those 10 years, I don't know nothing about you.

Until this woman, I mean, this juror woman,

this morning, to my mother's grave she comes.

And she says to me... What?

Annie came to see you.

She said you've been saying ugly things about me.

Said you called me a motherfucking monster.

Oh, please. Don't even try to deny it.

It's on tape.

That woman, you know the one you've gone soft over,

you think is the love of your life,

she wants you dead.

You said you were gonna discard me.

Now look who gets discarded.

Get it done.

And everybody thought you were a genius.

Hey, Joseph. Take a look at your father.

You're fucking crazy.

Bada-bing!

Hello?

Eddie? - No, it is not Eddie.

He's right here. Would you like to speak with him?

Annie, I suppose I should be angry with you for betraying me, but I'm not.

I know that this has been hard for you.

I did things to protect you and Oliver.

It must have been difficult for you to grasp.

What you would say, what you would do to protect your child.

I mean, you bring Oliver down to Guatemala and then what?

You're gonna come back here and you're gonna destroy me?

Well, that is not going to happen.

Do you remember what I told you at the studio that night?

I told you if you would trust me, then Oliver would be safe.

But if you betrayed me, then no matter what the personal cost to me,

Oliver would suffer. Do you remember that?

And I begged you to believe me.

But how can I ask you to trust me

when mistrust and betrayal are rooted in your character.

I can just as easily ask you to change the pattern of the stars.

But now Oliver is going to die in the morning. We both know that.

And there's nothing we can do to stop that.

We can only witness.

Enjoy your flight, Mr. Wordham. You can board now.

Here's my ticket. I'm sorry, you've just missed this flight.

Ma'am? Look, I have to...

My son is dying, okay. I got to get to the gate.

No, ma'am. I'm sorry. Well, we can put you on another flight.

If you hurry, there's another flight to Guatemala via Houston.

Where? What gate? -126.

Habla ingles? Yes, I do.

What's your name, man? Danielle.

You think I could hire you to give me a ride somewhere?

No, I'll give you a ride. You don't have to pay.

It will be a long journey.

I got to have a car. I have a lot of money. I just need one car.

Look, I don't care. Here's everything I've got, okay. Just get me there.

Oliver?

Oliver?

What is this? A fucking zoo?

Annie! Get back, Boone. Right now.

Mom! Oliver, get out of here.

Get him out of here! Get him out of here!

Let go! Mom! Get off! Annie!

Oh!

Annie, you really are astonishing.

I mean, you won over the jury,

and then you set me up with Boffano.

And now you've chartered a plane.

Yep. With your money.

But you're right, Annie. You have to kill me.

I see that now. It has to be that way.

Because if you shoot me,

then you and I will be bonded forever.

No, we won't!

Oliver? Oliver? Mom?

I love you.
