All language subtitles for Early Edition s04e15 False Witness

Previously on Early Edition.

I'm stuck in traffic, Eli. Give me a
break, huh?

You have to give me a picture in two
days. Five o 'clock photo edit. It'll be

there. I swear to my mother's life.

Smile for the birdies.

Yeah, this is Miguel Diaz. Who's this?

Listen, pal.

If you print these pictures, I'm gonna
be in a lot of trouble.

Hey, everybody worries about what their
hair looks like, bro. But I'm telling

you, you look very nice.

I got the best police scanners on the
market.

And you always seem to show up
everywhere before me.

You got a secret, don't you?

A secret?

Hey, the pickle.

Watch the pickle. Everybody get out of
the way. Watch the pickle.

How's that?

Mañana.

But remember, exclusive, right?

My story.

Miguel Diaz. Photo.

Journal.

I get tomorrow's newspaper.

Today, I'm out there saving people's
lives.

That's what I do.

Traffic control is backing up back
there. Okay.

Car is registered to a Mrs. Ida Frankel.

Ida Frankel wasn't driving this car. I
didn't think so. She reported the car

stolen 10 minutes ago. Came out of the
store with her groceries. Gone.

Car looks practically brand new. Yeah,
their favorite kind.

You said you saw a couple of guys?

Yeah, well, I saw the driver.

I didn't see. He got out and he ran
pretty fast. The other guy, I saw him.

was, I don't know, he was about 5 '8", 5
'10", dark hair, dark eyes.

Hispanic. You know, a detective may want
to talk to you, Mr. Hobson. Sure,

anything I can do, absolutely.

Great, yeah. Sure.

Joey, come on, man. Relax.

The guy saw me, man.

So he saw you. So what?

They already got the car, right?

They're not looking for you, man.

Guess not.

Nothing to worry about.

It's Lucas.

Let me do the talking.

Where's my merchandise?

Oh, we just sort of ran into a little
delay.

What kind of delay?

What's with that cut?

Can you believe this guy?

He comes running down the steps, he
falls and he cracks his head.

Ice, man.

You know, I got a dozen other guys who
can deliver what I asked for.

It's no problem, Lucas. We can do it.

Don't bring me any headaches.

It's not going to happen. We're going to
get right on it.

Okay?

Okay.

Yo, man, we got to still make the ride.

Now? I can't, man. I'm going to be late.

For what?

My brother's going to start looking for
me.

Look, we'll do it tomorrow.

Man, tomorrow's too late. This is our
chance.

That's the course. You're not really
into it.

No, I'm totally into it, Ray. You know
that.

Look, Lucas isn't going to care if it's
tomorrow, as long as we bring him a good

car.

All right.

You take off, man.

But I'm going to call you later.

Caribbean night at McGinty's.

Well, it could be fun.

A little pina colada, a little calypso
music.

Yeah. You know what? I think the cold's
getting to you.

Well, once you'll factor 20 below, yeah.
It's inhuman.

Yeah.

Thompson.

Armstrong.

Marissa, you remember Detective
Armstrong, don't you? Of course. And how

you, Detective?

Fine, thank you.

How you been?

Oh, good, good.

Why, you miss me?

Like an open wound.

Look,

I'm here about the car thieves you
happened to bump into this afternoon.

Well, that was just a matter of the
right place, right time.

I know.

I don't care what you were doing there.

I've given up on trying to figure you
out.

But I heard you got a close look at one
of them.

And I was hoping you'd help Detective
Gerson here create a composite.

How's that?

A sketch of the suspect.

Oh.

Was all this over a car thief?

Well, we're looking for a little bit
more than a car thief.

You know what a chop shop is?

Yeah, chop up stolen cars and sell the
parts. It's big business, Hobson. And

lately they've gotten bolder.

We're seeing daylight carjackings and
people getting hurt.

And the chief wants us to bust these
operations as many as we can.

And this kid that I saw, he... He fits
the profile.

We figured the car that he stole was
heading right for a chop shop.

We find the kid, maybe he rolls.

Gives us the source.

So what do you want me to do?

And how does this work?

Start with the shape of his head, Mr.
Hobson.

Is it round?

Oval? Square?

Oval.

I think.

I appreciate your coming down.

You caught the guy, huh? I think so.

It took us a couple of days, but we got
lucky.

Loose talk at a pool hall.

These things usually come down to
informants one way or another. So all

gotta do is nail the kid in the lineup
and you're okay.

I'll let Detective Armstrong know you're
here.

I get a call, I run down here, and you
don't even let me see him? That's

illegal. There's nothing illegal about
it. I want to talk to him right now. You

have to wait until it's over, Mr. Diaz.
This is so typical.

I have to go.

Yeah, you go.

This is not your brother, right?

Forget it.

Thompson. What are you doing here?

Cops, man. They hauled in my brother.
They say he stole a car.

Your brother?

Yeah. Look at that sketch. It looks
nothing like Joey.

Look.

That's your brother?

Yeah. He looks nothing like him, right?

It's because Joey fell down, hit his
head, and the guy in the picture's got a

cut.

Unbelievable. The cops, they don't care,
man. They just pick up the first five

Latinos they see, and they drag them
down here for a lineup.

You're sure your brother didn't have
anything to do with it? What are you

talking about? You say my brother's a
thief?

No, no, I'm not saying that. How do you
get off even asking me something like

that? Look, I'm sorry.

Truth is, my little brother's been in
trouble back home in New York.

I should have paid more attention to
him, you know, but I had my job here.

Joey started hanging around with the
wrong crowd.

Went after the quick buck.

Got arrested twice for stealing.

I moved him here about a month ago.

Convinced the judge to put him on
probation, make me his legal guardian,

know.

Got him a job at the Sun Times. Thought
I could teach him a little, keep him

straight.

I don't know, man. The day that that car
got stolen, Joey says he was way across

town making a delivery.

I love Miguel. He's a good kid, option.

Sweet kid, talented, a real artist. You
should see.

Just confused, that's all.

And young.

Mostly young.

If he did this, if he gets nailed for
stealing that car, the whole deal's off.

Joey's going straight to prison.

What are you doing here anyway?

Me?

Don't tell me you're here to see that
foxy detective. What's his name?

Brigatti? Yeah, but not exactly.

Mr. Hobson, I'll take you to the lineup
room now.

Yeah, listen, I'll catch up with you in
a while.

You're the witness?

Oh, man.

All right, take your time, Hobson.

Get each one carefully.

Turn to your left.

Turn front.

Turn right.

Look again, no rush.

No, I'm sorry.

Are you sure?

I told you not to worry. I was working,
man.

It's all a big mistake.

Hey, Hobson.

I gotta go, Miguel. Wait a second.

Hobson, come here.

Hi. You know this guy?

Good brother of mine, Gary Hobson.

Hobson, this is my brother Joey. Joey.

Gary Hobson. Joey, how are you? How you
doing?

Everything's great. Joey's free to go.

That's fantastic.

Yeah, but I guess you knew that already.
You could have told me that before you

went in there. Saved me a heart attack
or two.

Well, I... I know. With the cow standing
there, it wouldn't look right, huh?

Give me a minute, all right?

Miguel, talk to Hobson. I got a call in.

You're going to have to tell him, huh?

He's your brother.

You're going to have to tell him you did
it.

Did what?

Don't play games with me.

I didn't do it, man.

My friend Ray, he picked me up. I didn't
know the car was stolen.

Honest to God, I didn't know what went
down until we crashed.

Regardless of that, you're still going
to have to tell him.

No, man, please.

Look, the only reason I didn't ID you is
because of Miguel. That's it.

And I thank you for it. Believe me.

You don't think he deserves none of the
truth?

Yeah, but it'll kill him after all he's
done for me.

Don't you get it? That's the point.

I won't ride with Ray anymore. I promise
you.

Please don't tell my brother.

Look, I want to do what's right by me
gown, I will.

I'll work even harder, I swear.

I learned my lesson, man.

I was scared in there.

I've never been scared like that before.

I don't want to be scared like that
again.

Please.

Well, got to run.

What?

Nothing, I was just surprised at
something your brother just told me.

You were talking basketball. He's a
Knicks fan. What's wrong?

What can I say, bro? We're from New
York.

Mañana, huh?

Joseph Diaz.

Miguel Diaz's brother.

Yeah?

Miguel stuck his neck out for you while
you were on the run.

Way out.

You owe him.

Are you covering for that boy, Hobson?

No.

I hope not.

I shouldn't be late.

What about dinner?

Leftovers in the fridge.

Forget it. They're older than me.

You want fine cuisine, call Mother
Stewart.

You're starving me, man.

Get yourself a pizza or something.

Thanks, bro.

Oh, almost forgot.

Picked up your paycheck.

A lot of overtime this week.

Where's the rest of it?

Uncle Sam takes a big bite.

This sucks, man.

Listen, I know you've been working hard.
Yeah, I've been sorting out letters,

delivering stuff all over town.

It's boring, man.

Now this?

You got some expenses I don't know
about?

You know what I mean.

There's things I want.

Come on, man.

How many sweatshirts and sneakers does a
person need?

All right. I know your job's not the
most exciting thing in the world, but

got to start somewhere.

Everybody's got to pay their dues.

When I was trying to break into the
news, I sold vacuums.

Vacuums, man.

I waited on tables. I worked at a pet
store.

You clean parakeet cages for six months,
then come talk to me.

You always knew what you wanted. You
always had your camera.

And you have your drawing. Come on, man.

So I draw a little big deal.

It is.

Your work's beautiful.

So says my brother.

So says everybody.

Joey,

your talent's your ticket, man.

It's gonna take you anywhere you wanna
go.

And where's that?

Well, you gotta give yourself a chance
to figure that out.

Meanwhile, you keep your nose clean.

Punch the clock at the sun times.

You're doing great.

We'll talk more about this later.

Do I have a choice?

You

lied

in front of the police and in front of
Detective Armstrong.

Look, Miguel, he brought Joey here from
New York to give him a second chance.

All until Joey's paying him back by
stealing cars.

Well, no, he didn't steal. His friend
stole the car. He didn't know it was

stolen. Gary, that's the oldest line in
the book. Oh, I didn't steal the money.

This friend just gave it to me to hold
on to it for him. I mean, what do you

expect him to say? Look, he's a good
kid. I talked to him. He made some bad

choices, but he knows it.

You think I made a mistake?

Yes.

You have a big heart, Gary.

But I think in this case, you should
have used your head.

Are you playing judge like that? You've
made yourself responsible for everything

that boy does in the future.

Well, the future is what I was trying to
give him.

Thanks for the beer, Ray.

Sure.

Just remember, if anybody asks, you
turned 21 last November.

Hey, we got a toast.

Who sails through a lineup like that?

Who walks out without a scratch?

Got lucky, I guess.

Yeah? You better save some of that luck
for tomorrow.

Can we do the job for Lucas?

All right.

It's gonna go smooth, man.

Come on, the cops already mapped your
moves.

And lightning cannot strike twice, you
know what I mean?

Yeah.

Listen, I'm gonna have to work tomorrow.

Fine.

We'll do it after.

Yeah, well, I...

Might have to work overtime.

Overtime?

I could use a time and a half, bro. You
can work triple time all week if you

want. You're never going to make as much
as you can make with one score with

Lucas.

I know. The thing is, my brother, man.

Man, your brother. Your brother.

Let me tell you something about your
brother, okay?

The guy lives in a dump and he drives a
heap.

In fact, you know where your brother is
right now?

He's out working.

He likes what he's doing.

Okay. So he likes it.

What do you like?

You like calling your butt all over town
making deliveries?

Oh, man, I'm not going to be doing that
forever.

Okay.

So what are you going to do?

I don't know.

Maybe something with drawing.

Drawing?

Who are you, man? Joey Picasso?

How are you going to make a buck with
drawing?

I don't know. I've got to figure it out.

Meantime, your butt's in your hump for
peanuts.

If you score as a Lucas, you make
yourself a nice fat cushion. You take

time you want to figure it out.

Tomorrow, man.

After work.

Police arrested Raymond Pritchett and
Joseph Diaz last night after chasing

stolen Mercedes in a high -speed
pursuit. One day.

One day later.

Oh, you know what? That kid sure did
play me.

Sorry.

Now what do I do? You know what I should
do?

I should let them get caught. I should
let the cops arrest the both of them.

That's what they deserve.

Maybe there's another way.

What? Tell Miguel.

You did what?

I saw Joey running from that car.

No, no, no. You saw somebody look like
Joey.

Miguel, it was him.

When I saw your brother in that lineup
and I recognized him, I decided to let

him go. And I didn't tell you at the
police station because he promised he'd

stay out of trouble.

So why are you telling me now?

One, because I can't look at myself in
the mirror. And two, I got a feeling

going to try it again.

A feeling?

Well, there he is.

Joey!

Hey, bro.

What? Don't give me that, man.

He told me.

Told you what?

The truth.

Hey, who are you, man?

Miguel, I don't know what he's talking
about.

He lied to me.

Are you going to go ahead and believe
his word now?

You're staying home tonight.

What are you doing? Tonight and every
night. I'm going to be on you every

minute. You step out of line, I'm going
to be right there.

I got work to do.

Your gal knows.

Can't stay long. He's all over me. You
want a leash, man?

You're a little dog. You got to do what
he says.

If I don't listen to him, I'm out on the
street.

It's okay, man.

You want to be a chump? You be a chump.
Hey, come on, Ray. Hey, we'll get the

good. When, man?

Huh? I mean tomorrow, tomorrow,
tomorrow. You keep putting me off.

Forget about it.

Get back to the mailroom, little boy.
The lunch break is over.

Let's do it right now.

Right now, let's go.

No time, no mistakes.

No mistakes.

Hey, check it out, man.

Jackpot.

Come on, you found it, man. You do it.

Come on.

Come on, Joe, hurry up.

Come on, man, fire it up.

You said you knew how to do this.

Hey, that's my car.

Get away from the car.

Keep going, Joe.

Keep going.

All right.

Bring in some help.

Hey!

Why'd you do that, man? Why'd you shoot
him? You're lucky I did it. You'll be on

the sidewalk right now.

We're in this together now, Joey.

You got that?

We'll get up through.

Hey, where are you taking him? County
General.

Listen, we catch him with Lucas, get out
of town for a little while, let this

whole thing blow over.

Oh, Lucas, man.

What are you, stupid?

What?

Oh, the window.

We couldn't pop the lock.

Idiot, it's on the news.

What? A guy got shot by two punks
stealing his Toyota.

It's on the news? Cops are looking for
him.

Gunshot wound, upper chest, BP 60 over
4.

Pulse is ready.

No breath sounds on the right.

Let's get a chest tube in. Call the OR.
Tell him to prep for surgery.

Is he going to make it? It's too soon to
say. He's lost a lot of blood. He had a

gun, Lucas. He was going to shoot Joey.
I never saw it.

Hey, what about the car?

What car?

We need the money.

We had a deal, Lucas.

You get the hell out of here.

What are you doing here?

I was just walking by the scene.

You were the witness?

How did... Never mind.

Just tell me what happened.

A couple of kids, they were stealing a
car. This guy, he came out of his house

with a gun. He takes a shot at the kids,
and one of the kids, he shoots back.

A couple of kids?

Yeah.

Joseph Diaz.

Listen, Joey was not the one who shot
him. The guy you're looking for, his

name's Raymond.

Raymond Pritchett.

Look, Joey didn't even have a gun, all
right?

He was just stealing the car. That was
all.

Yeah, he was just stealing the car
because you put him back out on the

Look, I wasn't sure that it was him. You
knew it was him.

And now you got a man that's been shot,
and if he dies, Joseph Diaz isn't just

that car thief anymore.

He's an accomplice in a homicide.

It's Armstrong.

I got a couple of suspects in the
Lakewood shooting.

Raymond Pritchett and Joseph Diaz.

The full file on Diaz, we just brought
him in yesterday.

He should have a full description.

All units, we have a lookout for two
suspects in the Lakewood Avenue area.

Come on, baby, give me something good.
First suspect is Raymond Pritchett,

Caucasian, 21, 5 '10", brown hair,
wearing a black coat.

The second suspect is Joseph Diaz, male,
Hispanic, 17.

What's happening around here?

I'll check the closet.

Hey, man, I didn't know you kept all my
stuff.

What did you do?

This isn't joy riding, man. A man's been
shot. I didn't do it, man. You know

what that means? I didn't even go right
out of the gun. You blew it, man.

You threw it all away, Joey.

Why? Why?

For what?

I screwed up, man.

Screwed up.

I need your help, Miguel.

I've been trying to help you.

But you lied to me, you steal, and
now... How can I help you now?

Tell me, Joey.

How can I help?

Let's go.

Go where?

The police.

No, man.

You're going if I have to drag you
there.

This is my brother, man.

Yeah, well, your brother was going to
let you rot in jail.

Miguel. Just take a little nap, man. Did
you find anything?

Just a few bucks, man. I told you he
doesn't keep a lot of cash in the house.

Get his keys.

What? His car keys, man. They're going
to be looking for Camry.

Get his keys.

Come on. They're going to be here any
second.

You all right?

Cops. Easy, easy, easy. Come on.

Oh, take it slow.

What are you doing here?

Well, I heard about Joey.

He was here.

I tried to take him to the cops, but
somebody clocked me from behind.

Yeah, you got a good knockup there.

I gotta go.

No, no, no, no. I gotta go find my
brother. No, no, no, no. Look, you're

going anywhere.

They stole your car.

Thanks. Man, how did this happen?

Oh.

Listen, Miguel, I gotta go.

I think you're gonna be fine.

What's going on? There is a fire escape
out back, isn't there? Yeah. Oh, good,

thanks.

What kind of car are you driving?

Plymouth. Brown Satellite. Plates say F
-stop.

Call that in.

So, you know where they're headed?

No.

Listen, man.

I'll do all I can to help, but you gotta
promise me.

You won't hurt my brother.

I can't promise you anything.

Joey's not a violent person.

There's a man fighting for his life in a
hospital because of him.

That man dies, Joey's down for felony
murder.

Same as if he pulled the trigger.

Look, let me come with you. If you find
him, I'll talk to Joey. He'll turn

himself in without a fight.

Yeah, he might.

I'm not so sure about Raymond Pritchard.

Don't worry, man. I got plenty of
friends in Detroit.

My friend Manny owns a snack club. He's
going to hook us up, no problem.

I even got this cousin in Canada.

Canada? Well, if we have to.

All units suspect in the Lakewood
shooting. Now driving a brown Plymouth

satellite. Manatee plate, F -stop.
Frank, Sam, Tom, Ocean, Paul. You see,

that's your brother.

He's already turning us in.

It's okay. We'll just use the side roads
now.

We need the gas anyway.

Dispatch, this is Unit 41.

We have a location on that brown
Plymouth heading east on Parker Road.

Requesting backup, please.

You want regular premium or super
premium?

Super.

Boy, you don't see many of these old
Plymouths around, I tell you.

Hey, you don't have to do that, man.

It's part of the service.

All units, request backup 2 ,000 block
of Parker Road.

Unit in pursuit of Brown, Plymouth,
Vanity Plate, F -Stop, Frank, Sam, Tom,

Ocean, Paul.

Suspects are armed and dangerous.

Get over by the pole!

Ray!

Ray, listen to me.

The police are coming. It's over.

Too late, man. Not too late.

Move.

What are you doing?

Who gives a guy a gun, man? We're okay.

Joe, you can stop right now. You don't
have to be part of this. Get back.

Drop your weapon.

Drop the gun.

Freeze.

Backup units to Parker Road.

Suspect now at the new Lenox gas station
believes to be holding a civilian

hostage.

Great.

Dispatch. This is Detective Armstrong.

Have the units on scene to secure the
area.

I'm three minutes out.

Another cop just pulled up.

Listen to me, Joe. You can still get out
of this.

You forget him, man. You're in it deep.

Joe, you think about your future. You
start running now, you're not going to

able to stop.

If you listen to him, you're going to
end up in a six -by -nine cell.

Suspects are still inside.

Have you made contact yet? No, sir.

Who's the hostage?

A male Caucasian around 30. We don't
have an ID.

This is Detective Paul Armstrong of the
Chicago PD.

You're surrounded by police officers.

Put down your weapons and leave the
building.

And we call the shots, man.

We got the hostage.

Let me talk to him. I need to know he's
okay.

Armstrong, it's me.

Hopson?

I'm all right.

Look, we can work this out.

You want him to stay that way?

Huh? You back off!

Easy, Raymond.

I'll pop him, man.

If you give me any trouble, I will pop
him.

Come on, Ray.

He's cool, man.

What do you want, Ray?

I just want to get back in that car.

If you let us drive out of here, we'll
drop Pops in off later.

All right, take it easy, Raymond, all
right?

I don't want anybody getting hurt.

I know you're scared. I know you didn't
mean for things to get this far, but

it's time to stop.

You can't be a part of this anymore.

He still believes in you, Joey.

Not after this.

He's your brother. He believes in you.

We can't win anymore, man.

Are you with me or not?

Don't give up on yourself, Joey.

What's it gonna be, man?

I'm staying.

You're a loser.

Just like your brother.

Armstrong!

I'm coming out with Hobson!

And if anybody tries to stop me, he
dies!

Hold your fire!

Raymond.

I was just trying to help you out.

You're gonna be okay.

Little help, please!

It'll be stiff, and you'll need some
physical therapy, but I'd say you were

lucky today.

I know.

Hey, Doc.

The guy who was shot.

The one whose car I... He's doing fine.

Thank you, doctor.

She says I can get out of here in a
couple of days.

Yeah, I know. That's good.

I'm not going to go home again, am I?

The cops nailed that chop shop because
of your help.

That guy Lucas.

The judge will take that into account.

I'm still going to do time.

Yeah.

But you'll make it through.

And I'll be here when you get out.

Listen, I should get going.

Wait.

I'm sorry I got you involved in all of
this.

It's all right. I got myself involved.

Still, that was a whole lot of trouble.

Yeah.

Just make sure you've been worth it,
huh?

Not your job.

Still here?

Yeah.

Want some company?

No, I got some thinking I ought to be
doing.

Well, you just did what you thought you
had to do, Gary.

Yeah, a man got shot.

Joey got shot.

He's spending a longer sentence than if
I'd just identified him in the first

place.

I'd say you were right.

Well, I don't get the paper, so I don't
have to make the tough calls.

Night, Gary.

Night.

More tomorrow at the same time.

This was the most expensive film of its
time, and costing $30 million to

perfect, Lou Grade famously claimed it
would have been cheaper to lower the

Atlantic. Alec Guinness leads an all
-star cast in Raise the Titanic, next on

Hallmark.
