All language subtitles for Twice in a Lifetime s01e06 The Blame Game

And so I concluded that the only way I
could keep her from running against me

for the governorship was to appoint her
to a job she couldn't refuse.

So, without further ado, I give you our
newest State Supreme Court Justice, Her

Honor, Ms. Brooke Canby.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you all for your help
and your support and your friendship.

I will try to live up to your
expectations.

And if any of you need to have a traffic
ticket fixed, you know who to call.

Governor Stanton.

Champagne, Your Honor? No, thank you.

May I propose a toast?

I'd be honored.

To my first and greatest love.

I've never forgotten yet.

Stryker.

Ken Stryker. Is that you?

Guilty as charged, Your Honor. I can't
believe it after all these years. Oh, I

am so glad to see you.

Really? I thought you'd never want to
see me again.

But I just wanted to let you know how
proud I am of you, Brooke. Nobody

this more than you. Wait, wait. You
didn't think I'd ever want to see you

No. Not after what happened,

the way I treated you. Sorry to
interrupt.

The governor is waiting for you. One
minute.

Where are you staying?

Are you here for a while? We've got to
talk.

I'm here for the weekend. I'm staying at
the Meridian.

Oh, with your wife?

Never married.

You? No.

How about dinner tonight?

The governor?

Perfect, perfect nine o 'clock at the
Meridian.

You really thought that I wouldn't want
anything more to do with you?

Well, if I was wrong, we have a lot to
talk about.

You were wrong.

Well, I'll see you later.

I didn't expect to see Kenneth Stryker
here.

That makes two of us.

I haven't seen him for 30 years.

Hey, that's $16.

40 cents, ma 'am.

No, I must have left my money in the
other purse. Look, I'm going right in

there. I'm meeting somebody.

I'll get the money from him.

How's it going, lady? You walk through
that door and that's the last I'll ever

see of you. No, no, really. I'll be
right back. You can keep the meter

Well, is there a neon sign on my head
that says sucker? I'll take you to an

That way you'll be sure of getting some
money. And so will I. You know what I

mean? That's ridiculous.

Not to me. I'll take you to the money
machine or I'll take you to the local

precinct. It's up to you.

We're too late at 8 p .m. for the cops.

Look, I could have you arrested for
kidnapping.

Yeah, yeah, tell it to the judge.

I am the judge.

Hand it over, lady.

Hey, don't I know you?

No. Yeah, from somewhere.

No, I've never seen you before.

Wait.

You're that judge who put me away in 93.

No, you must be mistaken.

Get that chance again. No, no, please,
no.

Come with me.

No, not now.

Stryker's waiting.

I'm afraid it's your turn to wait for
Ken now.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

This won't take long. We're next.

Next? For what? What's going on?

Mr. Jones, kindly keep a muzzle on your
client, if you would. We're trying to

administer justice here.

Certainly, Your Honor.

Please continue, Mr. Green. He was a
faithful, loving, and dutiful husband

father, kind and generous to both
friends and family, respected and well

by one and all.

Recommend ascendancy.

I have no objections, Your Honor.

Naturally, I recommend ascendancy for
Mrs. Gold, too.

Oh, that's quite another story.

During her lifetime, Mrs. Gold was never
satisfied with any of her husband's

efforts. Nothing he did was ever quite
good enough for her.

She managed to make the man's life
absolutely miserable.

I was just trying to help, Your Honor.

If I left him to his own devices, we'd
still be living in Flatbush.

Annoying, perhaps.

Strong opinions vigorously expressed,
but a sin punishable by eternal

I think not.

A tendency to heaven?

Bingo.

You mean I'm dead?

But I can't be.

Not now.

Mr. Jones.

Sorry.

I'm inclined to agree with the
prosecutor on this one.

Mr. Gold for ascendancy.

Mrs. Gold. Sammy, don't just stand
there. Do something.

Mr. Judge, Your Honor, sir.

Edie, sometimes she did push me.

But the truth of the matter is, I needed
some pushing.

People don't stay together for 50 years
and not love each other.

I love her, Your Honor.

Please don't take her away from me now.

Not after all this time.

Please.

Your Honor, I was a nag and a nudge.
It's true.

Samuel is a good man, Your Honor, and a
good husband.

He deserves the best.

And I didn't give it to him.

I should have.

I do love you, Sammy, very much. I
always have.

I'm so sorry I wasn't a better wife to
you.

Would you have been a better wife if you
had known then what you know now?

I think so.

Samuel Gold, by the divine authority
vested in me, I grant you passage to

heaven.

And my wife?

Edith Gold, you will be sent back at a
critical point in your lifetime on

but it will be up to you to persuade
your younger self to be a better person.

You'll have three days, and three days
only.

If you succeed, you will join your
husband in heaven.

Can... can he do that?

He? Can you do it?

Sammy, when have you ever known me not
to get what I wanted?

So be it.

This is the Honorable Brooke Canby, Your
Honor.

A highly respected jurist on Earth.

I should warn you, Miss Canby, that we
don't grant ascendancy

to many lawyers.

I am pleased to say that the
prosecution...

has already stipulated to Miss Camby's
outstanding character and spotless

record, and joins me in my plea for
ascendancy.

No objections, Jaya?

None, Your Honor.

I object, Your Honor.

You object.

Don't be foolish.

No one ever objects to ascendancy.

Nevertheless, I object.

I petition to be sentenced to life.

Your Honor, there is absolutely no
reason for Miss Canby not to be passed

upward. This is a waste of this court's
valuable time.

Being sent on is definitely in your best
interest, Miss Canby. Judge Canby, just

exactly, what is your role in these
proceedings?

I'm your advocate.

And your advice is that I yield to the
prosecutor's recommendations?

That's correct. You're fired.

Fired? Yes.

You can't fire me.

Why not?

I'm on your side.

Not as far as I'm concerned.

Your Honor, I would prefer to represent
myself in these proceedings.

Now I object.

She has no right to fire Mr. Jones.

Who has a better right?

It's my immortal soul that's at stake
here, not yours, not his, mine.

She does make a valid point, Your Honor.
All right, then.

Let's hear it.

Not every day someone turns down a pass
through the pearly gates.

God has been very kind to me.

And in my own way, I hope I've honored
his spirit.

But he did offer me his greatest gift of
all, and I foolishly discarded it. I

discarded love, Your Honor.

And I would like the chance to change
that if I can.

Your Honor.

If we open the floodgate to every failed
romance on Earth... It can be.

Before we continue, I would like you to
fully understand the

risks involved in your action.

You mean if I lose?

If you win. You see, if I sentence you
to life and you succeed,

your life may end up...

Quite differently from the one you've
already led.

There is no guarantee that when you
appear before this court again,

you will still merit ascendancy.

Altering the past also means changing
the future.

Your Honor.

Under the circumstances, I will allow
Miss Canby to withdraw her motion.

Is that acceptable to you, Miss Canby?

No, Your Honor. I... I... I can't do
that.

This is the man that you want to give up
heaven for?

I was a 19 -year -old student when I met
Stryker. A malcontent. A radical.

A warrior.

I knew warriors.

Saul was a warrior.

David was a warrior.

Ken Stryker was not a warrior.

Oh, yes, he was.

He fought as hard as the soldier in the
field for what he believed in.

And he believed that the Vietnam War had
to end.

That was a few weeks after his brother
Tom died.

It's an insanity.

It's just a kid.

They're all kids.

And they're dying before they see a
third of their lives.

We have to stop this.

No matter what it takes, we have to stop
this. No matter what it takes.

We will.

Together, we will.

We thought we could save the world.

Make love, not war?

What kind of a battle cry is that?

Quite effective.

They did stop that war.

Those two?

And thousands more like them. I can't
take any credit for it.

Ken stayed true.

My testimony sent him to jail.

She only told the truth, Your Honor.

It was her father's idea.

He's the one who came between the
lovers.

I was caught between two lives, two
generations.

Two futures.

My father and Stryker.

The law and a life with the only man I
ever loved.

I made a choice.

I would do anything to change that
choice now.

Anything.

Even risking the loss of the kingdom of
heaven.

So be it.

Ah, there you are.

Daddy.

I beg your pardon?

Miss Bryant, did you just call me Daddy?

Uh, Danny.

Danny Ryan.

I'm Miss Bryant's assistant counsel.

Well, you know what you have to do. I'll
see you inside.

Better cool it with the Daddy stuff,
Counselor. You're Janet Bryant.

And he's hired you to defend his
daughter. You, on a charge of criminal

and arson.

Oh, God.

Calling in for reinforcements. Always an
excellent idea.

And this is... Am I really back in 69?

Yep. Julie Nixon just married David
Eisenhower.

And the Brady Bunch and Hee -Haw are the
top shows on the tube.

Can't believe they canceled Star Trek.

Case number 14953. The people versus
Brooke Canby, Kenneth Stryker, Pauline

Craig... Oh, I remember this day so
well.

Look at me. I can't even meet Stryker's
eyes.

He has no idea I'm here to testify
against him.

Are the people ready?

We are, Your Honor.

Who speaks for the defendants?

Janet Bryant for Miss Camby, Your Honor.

And with the court's permission, I would
like two minutes to confer with my

client.

You have 90 seconds.

I've already prepared her.

But I haven't, sir.

I would like to speak to my client.

privately if you don't mind what do you
plan to say up there don't worry i know

the drill the strikers i need to take
over the building pauline and jerry

Thank you for your indulgence, Your
Honor.

And if my colleague from the Public
Defender's Office will also indulge me,

would like to speak on behalf of all
four defendants for a moment.

The people are asking for bail to be set
at $200 ,000.

But I submit that no bail needs to be
set because no crimes have been

And I recall that's what a trial
determines?

Well, on the face of it, yes, but
unnecessary in this case.

If I may, Your Honor? Oh, by all means.
I'm fascinated by your approach.

Trespass, by definition, is to invade
the property, rights, or person of

without consent.

The administration building was open at
the time of the alleged offense, and the

defendants were registered students.

In good standing, Your Honor. Since they
had every right to be there, there can

be no charge of trespass.

Res ipsa locutor.

The facts speak for themselves.

Secondly, in the matter of Arthur, there
is no prima facie evidence connecting

my client or any of the defendants to
the fire.

No witnesses, no physical corroborating
evidence, nothing.

Your Honor, there is no merit to these
charges.

They are merely harassment initiated by
the school administrators as punishment

to the defendants for invoking their
constitutional right of assembly and

right of free speech.

We ask that all charges be dismissed
immediately.

Right on.

Right on.

Counselor, step to the bench.

Where did you come from,

Counselor?

I must also inform the court and the
city attorney that we are contemplating

civil suit for false arrest and
imprisonment.

Well, well.

Counselor?

If we consent to the dismissal, we would
insist there be no further legal action

from the defendants.

Miss Bryant.

We agree, Your Honor.

Very good.

Well done.

Now back off.

Case dismissed.

I can't believe it.

You did it.

Thank you.

I want to thank you, too.

You are good people.

My pleasure.

Thanks.

I could have you just barred for that,
Miss Bryant.

What's your problem? She got justice for
all of us, including you, Doc.

As far as I'm concerned, you and your
thugs should be tried for treason.

Well, times are passing you by, Mr.
Canby.

The old my country, right or wrong, that
doesn't fly anymore.

You know what?

We're going to make this country a
better place because of it.

I got news for you, young man. This
country doesn't need your help.

I want to see you outside, Brooke, now.

You too, Miss Bryant.

Peace, my brother.

Pierce, we've been summoned.

I'm going to see you back at the
apartment, okay?

Say goodbye to Daddy for me because I
forgot.

Daddy's just upset.

He'll get over it.

He was scared.

So was I.

What? A transfer? To where?

Mills College.

Class starts on Monday.

Mills College? That's in California.

Precisely the point. Why are you doing
this to me? I haven't done anything

wrong. Oh, haven't you?

Running around with criminals, setting
fire to buildings, God knows what else.

Well, it's going to stop, and it's going
to stop now.

You're reacting way out of proportion to
the events, Mr. Canby. This is a family

affair, Ms. Bryant, and none of your
business. My daughter's out of control.

Your daughter is acting on her own
beliefs. Where do you think she learned

from, sir?

Yes, I've raised her to be a decent
human being, and I intend to make sure

stays that way. No more demonstrations,
no more bad influences, and most

importantly, no more Stryker. It's over.

I won't go.

You can't make me.

You're absolutely right. I can't.

So do what you feel you must do.

So will I.

What's that supposed to mean?

You have a choice.

You can stay here.

But then I will make the choice to cut
off all your support.

No more tuition, no more allowance,
nothing.

If you want to spend your life carrying
placards and getting arrested, you're

right, I can't stop you.

But you'll never get your degree.

You'll never practice law, and you'll
never have the life that you always

dreamed of.

Now tell me, is he really worth all
that?

That's not fair.

That's not a choice.

That's blackmail.

Yes, well, this is the hardest thing I
have ever had to do, but I

mean it, Brooke.

If you choose a life with that man...

No, you don't mean that. Tell me you
don't mean that. Tell you?

Look, I don't know what your agenda is
here, Miss Bryant, but I hired you to

keep my daughter out of jail, and you
did that. Thank you.

Your check is in the mail, and your job
is done.

Come on, Brooke.

Oh, no, Daddy.

My job is just beginning.

Thank you.

Two black coffees.

There's one thing I hate about going
back this far in time is that you can't

a cappuccino anywhere.

I'm in completely uncharted territory.

Harder than you thought it would be?

Well, I figured that once I'd found a
way of keeping her, me, from testifying

against Stryker, that that would be
that.

We'd live happily ever after.

I should have known how hard my father
would fight for me. But Mills College?

Where did that come from? I never went
to Mills.

Uncharted territory.

You've just altered the past. That
changes the future.

But look, he can't force you to go to
another school.

Maybe the thing to do is to try and
persuade young Brooke to defy his

She won't do that. I wouldn't have done
that.

Then you'll just have to persuade him to
change his mind.

Oh, that's not going to happen.

It's a great mind, but it's a sad mind.

I got your message.

You did?

Yes, your assistant called and said it
was urgent.

I'll, uh, leave you two to talk.

Remember, Miss Bryant, you're leaving
soon.

Want to square things up with Miss
Canby?

Yes, thanks for reminding me.

You're leaving town?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

I was hoping that, well, that maybe you
would talk to my father.

That maybe you could vouch for Stryker.

Make him listen to reason. You're a
lawyer. He respects you.

How can you tell?

Because you're still standing after you
disagreed with him.

Will you talk to him?

I think you're the only one he'll listen
to. He doesn't listen to me unless it's

what he wants to hear. Try to change
your father's mind.

Defy him. Call it bluff. You've never
done that. What if it's not a bluff?

if I lose him?

I can't do that.

I'm not as strong as you.

Well, you're going to have to be.

or you'll regret it for the rest of your
life.

Trust yourself.

Be your own person.

Trust what you're feeling. It won't
change.

Time won't change it. A law career won't
change it. You could be appointed to

the Supreme Court, and it won't change.

You love this man, Stryker, and he's the
only man you'll ever love.

But if I stay with him, I break my
father's heart.

Either way, I start the person I love
most in this world. That's a cop -out.

A what?

Cop, it's an excuse.

I think he's telling you exactly what
you want to hear.

He's giving you a way out. Way out?

You think I want to leave here to leave
Breaker? Yes, I do.

And you will.

Because a part of you is exactly like
your father.

And wants to follow in his footsteps.

He died and made you God.

Careful. He's listening.

I can't believe I'm even talking to you.

Courage? I feel as if my whole world is
shifting.

Because I've come back to a place I
don't belong.

Why did you let me come back here? I'm
failing. I have failed.

You've succeeded with everything in your
life. In my former life.

Unless... Is that what this is all
about?

The lesson is to teach the Honorable
Judge Camby how to fail with grace?

Huh? Look, I have turned my back on
heaven.

Tell me, you owe me this. I don't know.

That's right. I don't know.

Any more than you do.

Only he knows.

So I have thrown away a perfectly good
life on a whim?

Have you?

I thought it was love.

That's the real question here. Did you
ever really love this man?

What do you know about love?

Hey.

Really?

I want to be alone.

You're never alone.

That's a creepy thought.

I'm sure you meant to say comforting.

Made a decision yet?

You only have one more day.

You know so much. Why don't you advise
me? Or do you not know how to do that

either?

I most certainly do know how to tell if
someone loves someone or not.

Take it.

As good as any.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

And I love him, Daddy.

Please tell me you've packed your
things.

I'm not Daddy's little girl anymore.

I don't want you to be Daddy's little
girl. I want you to be a lawyer.

Because ever since you were 12 years old
and you saw your first court case,

that's what you've always dreamed of
being.

I saw you trying that case, and you were
strong and fair and brilliant, and you

saved a man's life.

Oh, you've forgotten about that? No,
because every day I see a man who has

exactly those same characteristics.

Oh, please do not compare me to a
giraffe -dodging hippie freak. He has

stubbornness, intractability, and he
doesn't listen either.

But I love him.

You think love is all about passion,
sex, moonlight, walking hand in hand,

it is.

And more, much more.

But the root core of what love is all
about is none of those things. Do you

what it is? Respect.

Sacrifice.

That's the ultimate test. It's not about
what you're willing to give.

It's what you're willing to give up.

So you're saying that in order for me to
have Stryker, I have to give up my

education? No, I'm not saying that at
all. Well, then you've lost me. You keep

telling me how much he loves you.

Yeah, that's right.

Well, let me ask you this.

What is he willing to give up for you?

You cannot ask him to abandon his
ideals.

I'm not asking him to do anything.

You are talking about giving up your
education, your degree, your career.

Brooke, that is an awful lot.

What's he putting in the pot?

Anything? Anything at all?

Or is this love of yours just a one -way
street? Because if it is, then you've

got to find that out right now.

But he did love me. I know he did.

Why do I suddenly feel so unsure of
what's happening?

The winds have changed.

Okay.

What's this, huh?

We are free.

Everything's going to be okay.

Smile, babe.

Do you love me?

Only with my heart and soul.

Is that enough?

It's wrong, babe.

Am I tripping or is this deja vu?

Is that Polonise for thank you? So your
old man can afford a high -priced

lawyer. What's new?

The rich get special treatment while our
brothers and sisters get blown away.

Personally, your politics sicken me.

Oh, it's personal, all right.

But it's not about politics.

It's about Stryker.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means the only cause you're committed
to is trying to get him in your bed.

It's true.

She's furious that I'm in the picture.

Because she used to have... I have you
all to herself.

This is so typical.

We are in a revolution and you reduce
everything to some plot in a soap opera.

Pauline, lighten up.

You know what? I thought you were a
leader.

Someone we could rally around. But your
focus is split, man.

If you don't watch it, you're going to
end up in some country club sipping

martinis and raising funds for Nixon.

And what would Tom have died for then?

That was not cool.

I simply called her on her stuff.

That's all.

Everybody has their necessary fiction
book.

Yeah?

And what's our striker?

That our love will last?

No, that is not fiction.

That is the truth.

My dad's pulling me out of school.

Sending me to California.

You're not going to go, are you?

Don't do this.

Tell me you're not going to give in to
this.

You know how kids grow up wanting to be
doctors or astronauts or lawyers?

Yeah, I wanted to be a professional
basketball player. I'm a foot too short,

so... Yeah, well, for me, it was always
the law.

I always wanted to be a lawyer, ever
since I was a little girl.

But now, I've got a foot caught in two
worlds.

My father's world, one that's based on
laws and rules and tradition.

And your world, a world that wants to
destroy his, and it's tearing me apart.

Brooke, you know the answer to this.

Just think, his is a world that created
war, that created separate bathrooms for

black, that created Richard Nixon. You
know very well that he created none of

those things.

No more than you created drug addictions
or the breakdown of the family.

I know why you didn't play basketball.
Sure, it has nothing to do with it.

You're not a team player.

How can you say that?

I have a team right now.

I have you. I have Pauline.

Outside the system.

You work outside the system to bring
change. I am a system person.

I work inside the system to make change.

We can make this work.

How? By telling your father to go jump
in a lake. Why don't you go tell Pauline

and Jerry to jump in a lake? Because
that's different.

How is it different?

One more arrest and it's over for me.

No self -respecting law firm is going to
hire me, even if I can convince a law

school to accept me.

That is the situation.

Don't make me give up what I believe in.
Don't make me do this.

I won't.

No, you can't.

That's why I love you.

Then don't give up on us.

If I give up on myself, there is no us,
is there?

There's you and your dreams.

Where am I?

You want to come in?

Sure.

I thought you were leaving.

I am. Come on.

Looks like you are, too.

Looks like.

On to the joys of West Coast living.

Now everybody will be happy.

Daddy will be happy I'm leaving the evil
influence of the dope -crazed hippies.

Striker will be happy he's giving his
life to the cause.

Funny, I never thought of you as a
quitter.

There is a difference between quitting
and knowing when the game is over.

Who says it's over?

Me. Game, set, and match. Next case.

What about Stryker?

What about him?

I thought you were in love with him.

What choice do I have?

Striker won't bend. My father won't
bend.

I'm caught right in the middle of them.

Well, maybe you need to bend.

And give up everything I've worked so
hard for? Everything I've dreamed of?

I thought love was a part of your dream.

Why are you here?

You didn't have a mother.

If she'd lived, I think she would have
said these things to you.

Your father taught you how to use your
head.

Your mother would have taught you how to
use your heart.

I don't know what to do.

The war will end eventually, and so will
the battle between your father and

Stryker.

No, my father would never, never forgive
me.

Never is a long time.

He loves you very much.

And so does Stryker.

These issues are not carved in stone.

Times change. People change.

Do you think so? Oh, I know so.

I mean, if you put your plans to go to
school on hold for one or two years,

it'll still be there ready for you when
you come back.

The law isn't going anywhere.

But if you walk out of Stryker's life...

You may never see him again.

Is that what you really want?

No. Then go to him.

Nothing is more important than love.

You found it. Don't throw it away.

Whatever price you have to pay, it's
worth it.

Grab it with all your might and never
let it go.

Never.

Are you an angel?

No. But I'm working on it.

Yes!

Riker and I are back together and today
is day three!

I did it!

Yes, you did.

No congratulations?

What's the matter? I thought you'd be
happy for me.

I made my choice.

This never happened.

Not yet.

This is tomorrow's paper.

Jephthah warned you this might happen.

I don't understand.

Change the past, change the future.

We were all killed?

I'm afraid so.

How much time do I have?

According to this, the explosion took
place at 1 .15.

That's 20 minutes. Can't you do
anything?

You mean have you sprout wings to spend
time, something like that? Anything.

Sorry.

Can you get us a car?

Now that I can do.

Time to go.

You know your taillight's broken.

Yeah, I didn't mean to get that fixed.

Maybe we should take Brooke's car.

I'm getting busted with a car full of
dynamite. What?

Dynamite?

Okay, okay, if I take a right turn just
up ahead.

Yeah, I remember. It's a right turn.
Keep driving like this. We might not

it at all. Look, you can't help me. We
can just keep quiet.

Thank God you're all right.

Couldn't go through with it.

That's why I blocked him for good.

No, no.

No, it's going to be all right. It's
going to be all right. As soon as I

out what Terry and Pauline were up to, I
couldn't do it. I wanted to. I wanted

to be with Stryker. But blowing up a
building?

No matter how much I love them, I can't
be with these people. They're crazy.

Stryker?

He's with Pauline and Jerry?

He said he'd try and talk them out of
it, but I know them. They won't listen.

We have to stop them.

Then Jerry's that VW van? Yes.

The one with the broken taillight? How
did you know that?

Don't forget it. I tried it already.
Strigger didn't pay the phone bill.

Right. Great.

Do you have a cell phone?

A what?

Oh, never mind.

Oh, I can't believe this.

What will you use there?

A phone?

Yeah, but it's not for customers.
There's a payphone right outside. No,

of order. Please, this is an emergency.

Well, I'm sorry, but it's not... Oh,
here.

Here. Keep it, the whole 20. Well, I'm
not supposed to let people use it,

Oh, please. This is really an emergency.
It really is. It is. Trust me.

I guess it's... All right.

Make it quick.

Do you have 911 yet?

911? Oh, never mind.

Oh, come on, come on, come on.

Operator? Yes, operator, I want the
police department. This is an emergency.

One moment, please.

Thank

you,

God.

You did the right thing.

You saved his life.

I don't know if I did or if I didn't.

It was the only thing I could do.

Come on. I'll give you a lift back to
your car.

No, thanks. I have my own ride.

Okay.

Well, I guess I'd better be going now. I
still have some packing to do.

Miss Bryant.

Thank you.

Thanks for trying.

It wasn't meant to be.

No.

I guess it wasn't.

If it's all the same to you, I'll drive.

Jerry was convicted of transporting
explosives without a license. The other

got off with probation.

Probably had a good lawyer.

And Stryker?

I mean, later.

Did he ever get married?

No. Then we both missed our chance at
love.

Funny, it hurts more this time than it
did the first time.

But we came so close.

I guess it was selfish of me to want a
second chance.

Don't have regrets. The personal peeve
of the boss.

Your heart was in the right place.

That's what counts.

You did your best.

I was wrong about a lot of things.

I was wrong about you, too.

You do know how to love.

It doesn't matter.

You won't remember anything that took
place in the past three days.

From this moment on, you will only
remember the new life that you will

I'll remember.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, we're here.

We're at the Meridian. That's where you
wanted to go, right?

Oh, right.

$16 .40.

Oh, no, I must have left my money in my
other purse. Look, I'm meeting somebody

here. I can get it from him. Nothing to
do with me. You know, you walk through

that door and that's the last you'll
ever see of me. Your choice, ATM or the

cops. Listen, fella, the only man that I
have ever loved is right inside those

doors. The only thing that is stopping
me from getting to him is you.

So for the first time in my life, I am
about to break the law. I'm about to

out of this cab, stiff you, and run like
a 15 -year -old girl.

You got it?

Yeah. Would, wouldn't it?

I'd pay to do that.

Yeah.

High striker.

I'm still holding your hand.

That you are, Stryker.

That you are.

Oh, by the way, could I borrow $16 .40?
