All language subtitles for Touched By An Angel s06e12 With God as My Witness

Jim,

I need you to come over here, please.
Come to the office, Jim. Here, please.

Come to the office, Jim.

Do we have to yell through the whole...
assignments? What?

What'd you say?

I said, do we have to yell through the
whole assignment?

No, that's the problem. It'll all be
over any minute now.

Oh, come on, Carl.

This isn't just about me being right.
You know it. Maybe I do. Maybe I don't.

But sometimes you got to look the other
way if you want to keep your job.

Remember that. Maybe you'll keep the
next one. Hey, fine.

I heard Halleck's breaking ground on a
new project. Yeah, in about six months.

This was the last start -up site of the
season, and you know it.

Now, are you going to get out of here on
your own, or do I need to call a couple

of escorts?

Remember what I said, Carl.

It's going to matter.

One of these days.

Did he just do what I think he did?

Yeah.

What do you say we grab a beer?

Couldn't afford it.

I'm buying.

Can't go home unemployed and drunk.

How are you going to break this shot?

I don't know. I hope I don't have to.

Hey, for what it's worth, you're right.

They're taking too many chances around
here.

It's worth a lot.

If you do hear anything, let me know.
I'll do anything right now.

Does he mean a

test? Would he really do anything?

That's why we're here, angel girl.

Jim is about to become a desperate man,
and desperate men make desperate

decisions.

You walk down the road, heavy burden,

heavy load.

I will rise and I will walk with you.

I'll walk with you till the dawn don't
even shine.

Walk with you every time.

I tell you I'll walk with you believe me
I'll

walk with you

He seems so lost. Well, there's a reason
for that.

Who are you?

I'm Monica.

That's good.

But when you ask humans who they are,
they won't tell you their names. They

you their jobs.

They think what they do is who they are.

And when they lose that, they don't even
know who they are anymore.

Now you won't believe that.

Uh, let me guess. You room clean?

Oh, great. My mother's all about
sarcasm.

Oh, great. My daughter's all about
shoes.

What am I all about?

You're all about the tickle monster!

This is the kind of welcome home I was
looking for. Dad, you're just in time.

I know the exact dress I want for the
homecoming dance, and these shoes will

perfectly. If I can't get them, I'll
die.

Oh, well, nobody wants that.

Well, now that that's settled, you can
focus all your energy on getting Mick

Brown to actually act. Mike, Mike, Mike.
Oh, Mick. Yeah, Mick. I know Mick.

Okay, dinner's ready.

Her whole name is Miss Antonia Maria
Kappelman. She's really

nice. And she made me the paper monitor.

The paper monitor?

So that means you like school now.

I like Miss Kappelman.

Well, then I like her, too.

How was your day today?

I think he's doing better. We have a
nice visit.

There's this new retirement home that's
across the street from school. And

they're starting this new program where
you can visit the old people on Friday.

Wow.

Wouldn't it be great if Grandpa could
live in that one?

You know, I worked on that building.

Kind of out of our price range, honey.

It's just money, Dad.

Kids are in bed, and your wife's ready
to listen.

Remember that letter I wrote to the
foreman?

About the cement? Yeah.

Get their attention?

Oh, yeah.

They fired me.

You're kidding.

They should be thanking you for that.

You saw a problem with the foundation,
and you tried to fix it.

I'll get another job, but in the
meanwhile, things may get a little tight

here. That's okay. I'll quit school.

No, absolutely not.

I've always supported this family. I
always will.

You're going to get your degree.

I'll get another job.

She's going to get a better job.

Hey, have you seen her, man?

Who?

Monica, the new dishpan.

It's like I've died and gone to heaven,
baby.

Hey, sweetheart.

What's up? You got a gig for me?

I'll go wherever you want me to go. Your
place, my place.

How about back to work?

Oh.

Hello, you must be Jim. I'm Monica.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Yeah, Jimbo used to be one of these big
shot he -men driving those big cranes

up there in the skyscrapers.

Now he's got half the horsepower and
half the dough, huh, Jimbo?

There's nothing more honorable than
doing a day's work for a day's pay.

Well, right now I'd trade honor for the
big bucks.

I hope not.

What do you got?

A couple of airport runs.

Some rich kid's got a birthday party at
the zoo.

Something tells me 13 -year -olds aren't
big tippers.

A lot of money to be had here if you get
the right kind of gig.

The unofficial ones, if you know what I
mean.

Like what?

All you do is sit in front.

You drive wherever they want you to
drive.

Look the other way here and there.

And the gratitude comes back in big $50
bills.

Is it legal?

It never has.

Some stuff I picked up from the bank. I
thought maybe we could get a loan on the

house. No.

Either that or I'm going to have to quit
school and go back to work.

I'll work it out.

There's no shame in letting your wife
help out.

It's not as if anyone's keeping score,
for heaven's sake.

The water won't go out of the bathtub.

I'll pour some more of that stuff in the
drain, honey. We've been doing that for

a week. We're going to have to call a
plumber. We can't afford a plumber.

Don't worry, honey. Daddy will fix it.

Hello.

Yeah, just a minute.

our first period okay okay bye so

he asked me to the homecoming dance why
didn't you tell him yes well

i i wasn't i wasn't sure if i'm i mean i
you tell him yes

you're gonna have that dress and you're
gonna be the prettiest girl there thank

you thank you i love you thank you

Mom, you're not going to believe this.

Hello? Marco?

Yeah, it's Jim.

What's up?

Jim, I don't have you on schedule
tonight.

Yeah, well, I'm taking one of Marco's
runs.

We worked it out.

I'll see you.

What's your name?

Jim. So, did Marco explain how we do
this?

Uh, yeah, pretty much.

No, not really.

It's simple. We drive around the block a
couple of times, make sure that we

don't have any company, and then I'll
tell you what our first stop is.

Yes, sir, Mr. Dean.

Car 3.

Tim, are you left without filing a
destination?

Well, a client's request, Monica. He
points, I drive.

Marco does it all the time.

Car 3 out.

I'll read how long to go.

That's great.

Okay. One more stop, and then we call it
a day. Just turn left right up here.

Jim, how much longer?

This is the last stop.

What's your 20?

I'm in the warehouse district. I'll be
back to base in half an hour.

Hey, guys.

Dad, I had to work late, but I'll be
home real soon.

I'll be home soon, guys. I love you.

Go! Let's go!

Drive! Drive, drive, drive, drive!

Don't answer that.

Come on.

Don't go nuts on me, my friend. Hang in
there. Everything's going to be okay.

Just concentrate.

Right here.

Turn here and... Shut up!

What are you doing?

Put your hands down.

Sorry, I didn't know. What's going on?

What's going on is you're supposed to
relax.

Come on, you've got to get yourself.

Calm down so we can get home soon.

My kids like it when I get home for
bedtime.

You got kids, Jim?

Kids? Yeah.

Two daughters.

That's nice. I got two sons.

Maybe we can fix them up sometime.

Nothing happened.

We weren't there.

I'm not a killer, but...

Sometimes I do what I have to do. I
mean, it's like self -defense.

What else can you do when people want to
honor their commitments?

This is what I usually give your friend
Marco for his

discretion.

But under circumstances, I think you
deserve a bit more.

Now, you go home and you kiss those
girls goodnight, just like any other

And when your wife asks you how your day
was, you say, fine, dear. Let me hear

you say that.

Fine, dear. That's good.

When the police come to question you,
and they will, then you say nothing.

You're doing the right thing.

Now, you go and get out of here.

Go on.

Go on.

Welcome back.

Took a little while. I expected.

You see Marco around? He left for a
date. He said you'd understand.

How did it go tonight?

Oh, uh, yeah, fine, fine. You know, we
drove around there. We can talk to the

guy. I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow.

Are you all right, Jim?

Yeah. I ought

to buy one great homecoming dress.

Don't you think?

I can't believe this.

Thank you, Daddy. Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

I'll tell you how to fix it.

All right, time for bed. And put that
away.

Okay, I'm going.

Thank you, Daddy.

I knew you'd think of something.

Okay, what's up?

What's up?

Big tip tonight.

There are a lot of other things we could
have spent that money on.

Yeah.

Nothing better.

Jim,

this is Scott Witte.

We're federal marshals.

We need to talk to you.

The Justice Department has been
investigating Stuart Dean for a while

What's this got to do with me?

The man was murdered last night and you
were there.

Says who? You told me your location when
I called you last night.

Didn't need a lawyer.

It depends on how you want to play this.

Sure, Dean, as a killer and a drug
dealer.

You're going to protect a guy like that?
I'm not protecting him.

We know that you didn't do anything,
Jim.

But you were in the wrong place at the
wrong time, and that means that you're

involved.

Come on, that's not right.

No, it's not, but you can't ignore it.
It won't just go away.

Look, I've got a wife and children to
think about here.

I know.

And we want to arrange for their safety
and yours.

I said we're in danger.

No one ever put it in those words.

Bottom line is, if you were there, you
got a problem.

I didn't say I was there.

We're not the enemy here, Jim.

Stuart Dean is.

And we walk out of that door without a
deal, you face the consequences on your

own.

You were spilling your guts, sir.

My name didn't come up, did it?

I didn't spill my guts.

Good, because these people don't like it
when you talk about it.

I've got to go.

We're going to have a little talk, Jim.

What kind of mileage you get on this
thing? Like three?

We're associates of Mr. Dean.

I don't know where he is.

The feds picked him up this morning in
Newark.

You hear they got you, too?

I don't know anything.

I didn't say anything.

Well, Mr. Dean will be very happy to
hear that.

Oh, hey, by the way, Mr.

Dean sends his regards to your wife and
the girls.

You have a fine -looking family.

And that little one? Oh, she cracks me
up.

Evil thrives when good men do nothing.

It's time to tell your wife.

So we tease her all the time and call
him Nick, and Katie goes crazy and says,

it's Mike, it's Mike.

Do you remember when you used to tease
me like that?

When did she start kindergarten?

Katie's 15 now, Dad.

I'll bring the girls to see you on
Saturday.

Hey, Charlie.

I thought we were going to go fishing on
Saturday.

When did you start fishing?

Fly fishing.

It's all in the wrist. Absolutely.

Hey, Dad, remember this?

It's the last thing I did every night
before I turned off your bedroom light.

What are you doing here?

We got a problem.

What?

Last night I was driving this guy
around.

Got out.

A couple minutes later he shot somebody.
Oh my God.

We got back in the car and we drove off.

I'm the only witness.

He knows that.

Well, what about the police?

The police want me to testify. This is a
very dangerous man, honey. Why didn't

you tell me this last night?

I don't know.

I guess I felt guilty.

Guilty? Why? You're one of the good
guys.

You never would have driven this guy if
you'd known what kind of person he was,

right?

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

Don't worry.

We'll get through this.

First of all, let me say that I am so
sorry for what has happened.

And I know things are happening faster
than you can keep up with them.

But before you agree to enter the
program, I think you should know what

agreeing to.

I'm supposed to agree to testify against
Dean.

That's the deal.

Then we put you in protective custody
temporarily until the trial.

When? Now.

Today.

But as soon as you've testified, you and
your girls will be given permanent

relocation.

Where?

Well, the Witness Protection Program is
all about security.

So you will know what you need to know,
when you need to know it.

You'll be able to pack a few bags,
that's all.

Everything else you'll have to leave
behind.

Everything?

And everybody.

Sean's father is in a retirement home.

We're the only family he's got.

There must be some way we can see him at
least occasionally.

I understand how difficult this is, and
we do have a process for sending

letters, but there can be no personal
contact with anyone in your current life

once you've entered the program.

Mom, Dad, are you ready? Here it is.

Do you think you'll like it?

What? What's going on?

That's right. What?

We got cable.

This place doesn't feel very safe.

Federal marshals will be posted outside
24 hours a day. And remember, it's only

temporary.

I'm going to brief the next shift.

Okay. Now, there are some things that
you all need to work on for your new

You're going to get a new family name.

Shepard. And new first names, too. It's
all right in this envelope.

There will be new school records for the
children, new social security cards for

everyone, everything you need to start
over.

Including a new family history, which
you'll all need to learn and remember in

case anyone asks you about it.

When can we go home?

Baby, do you remember when you learned
in school that all the geese that live

on the lake go someplace else?

someplace nice and cozy and warm for the
winter? Miss Antonia Maria Kappelman

taught me that. She did.

Well, you and your family are going to
be just like the geese and have a new

home, too.

Can Miss Kappelman come with us?

No, let's see.

Just us.

What's your name?

The Shepherd.

I'm Joan.

I'm Antonia.

When's your birthday?

Next week. I get two birthdays this
year.

Mine's August 17th. Where are you from?

Madison, Wisconsin.

Why did you move here?

Because we're Gooses.

Close enough.

How did you do that?

You're messing with a pro, Andrew.

I might not remember breakfast, but I
sure as heck can see what's right in

of me.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Well, well, well. Who's this little
munchkin?

My name's Antonia.

That doesn't sound right.

It's a long story, Dad.

And it doesn't have a very happy ending.

Hey, Charlie.

What's going on, Jim?

We have to go away, Dad.

For how long?

For good.

We came to say goodbye.

Nonsense.

You can't do that.

We don't have a choice, Charlie.

I don't understand.

Jim was an innocent bystander. He
witnessed a crime and...

This is the only way that we could be
safe now.

Can't you do something about this?

What am I going to do without my little
girl?

What am I going to do without my dad?

I'm sorry.

But it's time we have to go.

You look after him, huh?

I promise you, he will never be alone.

I'll be here, no matter what.

I love you, Dad.

I love you, too.

You're doing everything you can to
protect your family. If they'd been

protecting me in the first place, we
wouldn't even be in this mess.

Are you saying this didn't have to
happen?

I didn't know it was going to turn out
like this.

I mean, I knew it wasn't your normal
pick up and drop off either.

Something told me not to do it, but I
couldn't get the idea of a few extra

out of my head. So I gambled. And you
lost.

There are no words as dangerous as just
this once.

So that's where that big tip came from.

You knew what you were doing, but you
did it anyway, and then you lied about

Oh, my God.

John, let me explain. No, get away from
me.

You have ruined us.

You have ruined this family, and it
didn't have to happen. It didn't have to

happen. Oh, my God. Get out of here. Get
out of here. John, honey.

Please, you don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't understand?

What's to understand?

You lied to me.

You lied to your children.

Will you excuse us for a moment, please?

Absolutely.

You jeopardized this family for a lousy
few bucks, and then you lied about it,

and I will never forgive you.

Those few lousy bucks bought Katie a
dress.

Food for this family for another week.
Let you keep going to school.

Don't you dare lay this on me. I was
doing the best I could. This was your

I had to do something.

Oh, yeah, you really did something,
didn't you?

If you don't let me feel like dirt,
you're doing a great job.

This isn't about you.

You want me to feel sorry about you?

What about those children downstairs who
are never going to see their

grandfather again?

Alyssa lost her favorite teacher.

Katie's first date will never happen.

None of us will ever see a friend or a
familiar face or hear someone call us by

our real name ever again.

And all because of some stupid, macho
thing that made you think that you

had to do something.

You had to fix it all by yourself.

You betrayed me.

You betrayed your family. Now you have
no family left.

We need to have a little chat.

I'm really not in the mood for a lecture
right now.

Well, let's call it a discussion where I
do all the talking.

Sit down.

Do you remember your wedding vows?

Of course.

How about the one where you promise to
love each other for better or for worse?

There's a reason those words are used in
the vows that you take when you marry

someone.

Because people are not perfect.

They're human.

They make mistakes.

Big ones sometimes.

But that's when they're worst.

should bring out your better.

And your love finds a way to forgive
them.

That's easier said than done.

I know, but... Do you believe that one
morning Jim woke up and said,

I think I'll make a mistake today that
will endanger my family?

Hmm?

No, of course he didn't.

Now, he didn't do the smart thing.

And he didn't do the right thing. We all
know that.

But for better or for worse, he tried to
do a loving thing.

And that should get some kind of
consideration.

Well, if for better or for worse it's
not getting

through to you, how about till death do
us part?

The last time I looked, the two of you
were alive.

And may I add, kicking.

You've got a chance to start your lives
all over.

Not bad for a U .S. Marshal who
moonlights as a limo dispatcher.

Got any other secrets you want to tell
me?

Well, as a matter of fact, I do.

But I've been just waiting for the right
time to tell you.

Well, this is certainly the right
moment.

If it's good news, I could sure as heck
use it.

If it's bad news, it can't be any worse
than the news I just got.

Why? What was that?

I just lost my family.

I don't believe that.

But it's true.

It's my own fault.

She's right.

I wanted to be a hero.

All I was was stupid.

I wonder, if you're like a lot of men,
you would rather get lost than ask for

directions. Did he tell you that, too?

No.

But I've noticed this about human
beings.

Men especially think that there's
something weak about asking for help.

Well, there is.

I don't agree.

I think there's nothing stronger than
getting the right advice before you need

it.

It's like being at the foot of a
mountain and you want to get to the

Do you go left? Do you go right?

How do you know?

But if there's someone who's already at
the top, someone that you can call up to

and ask, which way should I go?

Why would you not do it?

Because the one who's already there can
see all the roads at once.

And he can tell you which road is steep,
which one is rocky, which one is safe.

That's not being a weak man.

That's just being a smart man.

Maybe.

Problem is, sometimes you hit a
mountain.

Then there's nobody up there.

Oh, no, there's somebody there.

I know I've seen him.

I'm an angel.

Jim.

Lord, my shepherd.

I shall not want it.

Don't be afraid, Jim. It's the truth.

I am an angel.

A messenger from the Lord God.

And the Lord is your shepherd.

That's why he sent me here.

Because you've gotten lost and he wants
to give you the directions to get back

home.

I don't deserve it.

But that's the best thing about a good
shepherd.

He doesn't ask if you deserve his love.

He only asks that you will accept it.

And if you will, then he'll be your
shepherd always.

And you shall not want for anything that
truly matters.

There will be peaceful places where you
can rest your spirit.

And he will restore your broken soul.

And wherever you find yourself, he will
be there pointing the way.

He will pour out so much goodness and
mercy that it will overflow like a cup

held beneath a waterfall.

And if you ask him, James,

You can dwell on that very mountaintop
with the Lord forever.

What about the valley?

I've seen the valley.

You can walk through the valleys, but
there's no evil to fear.

For only the shadow of death lingers
there. Death itself has no power.

That's why he has prepared for you a
table in the presence of your enemies.

Because there's nothing to be afraid of.

And it's at such a table as that that
you can sit and reason together.

I don't know if I can do that.

He will lead you on the path of
righteousness, Jim.

Will you follow?

I'm not a righteous man.

God wants me to testify.

God always wants the truth to be told.

But that's not the important story in
this paper.

That's the job I got fired from.

Somebody actually listened.

Yes.

Lives were saved because you spoke out.

One man was willing to stand up and do
the right thing.

You were that man, Jim.

You can be that man again.

Just call up to the mountaintops and ask
him for directions.

Where you going?

I gotta do something.

I'll be back.

Jim, it doesn't matter where we live or
what our names are.

The only thing that matters is that this
family stays together.

I love you, Sean.

I love you, too.

Hello, Mr. Dean.

It better be worth my time.

I know it's worth mine.

Your testimony is the Fed's entire case,
so here's how we'll play it.

You get amnesia, you live.

You testify, you die.

I don't want to die.

But I'm going to do the right thing.

I wish I'd done the right thing before.
We wouldn't even be sitting here right

now.

I made a mistake, and it's going to cost
me and my family a lot.

It's going to cost you everything.

Maybe.

I want the kids to know there's
something more important in this life

staying alive.

That's living or dying for the right
thing.

I can change my name, my dress.

Leave my whole life behind for a new
one.

God will always know who I am.

So will I.

Who are you, Mr. Dean?

What kind of legacy do you want to leave
your children?

Give me a break.

Check out Psalm 23.

Work for me.

That's page 316.

Okay, coast is clear. You'll be on a
plane to your new home in an hour. Move

quickly and go straight to the van.

Andrew, what are you doing here?

Well, Ted, pull some strings.

Daddy!

Shirley! No, I'm Edgar Shepard from
Madison, Wisconsin.

What's family again?
