All language subtitles for Twice in a Lifetime s01e10 A Match Made in Heaven

Ladies and gentlemen, the facts don't
lie.

This was a brutal, senseless crime
committed by a man who has no respect

human life.

The people have proven that the
defendant, Michael Johnson, shot Tran

to death.

Why?

Because Mr.

Dinh attempted to prevent Mr.

Johnson from stealing a six -pack of
beer from his liquor store.

pack a beer, and for that, the life of a
husband, father, and son was snuffed

out, casually, the way you or I might
swat a fly.

Mr. Din spent long hours at the store,
hoping to make a better life for his

family because he loved them.

And they loved him.

But Mr. Johnson didn't care about that.

Mr. Johnson didn't care that Rose Din
would be a widow at 35.

And Mr.

Johnson didn't care about the children.

They would miss their father every day
for the rest of their lives.

Please, send a message to the vultures
who prey on our society.

Tell them they're not going to get away
with this.

Tell them that we won't tolerate their
murderous behavior.

And tell them that justice will be
served.

Find Michael Johnson guilty of first
-degree murder.

Murder won. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Okay, you've got the press at three, the
state bar at four, and drinks with the

governor's people at six. Their hotel.

Bad news is it's downtown.

Oh, a 45 -minute drive. Great.

But worth it if they draft you to run
for attorney general.

Both.

Here's that. Thank you.

Meg, Heather's in your office. She says
it's really important.

Heather, I said no. There's no way
you're going.

Mom, everybody else is.

Well, you're not everybody, and I can't
help it if nobody else has standards. I

do, and I'm not letting my teenage
daughter go to any co -ed overnight

Mom, it's only for honor students.

Boys and girls have separate rooms, and
about 50 parents would be there to

chaperone. Don't argue with me. You know
the rules. No overnights with boys.

You know, this isn't about boys.

This is about one boy, Derek.

It's because he's going and it's because
he's black.

Heather. You wouldn't let me go out with
him because he's black. And now you

don't even want me near him. That's
enough.

I don't have time for this. You are not
going, period, and I will see you at

home. No, you won't.

I'm not going home.

Heather, wait. I...

Attorney General's on the phone.

Cancel all my meetings.

Except the governor.

And bring up my car.

And then get a hold of my Rolodex.

And get Derek Aldis' address.

Who? Aldis. Derek. Wannabe boyfriend of
Heather.

It's a good car, huh? Yeah, it's a nice
one.

Twenty -five bucks.

Twenty -five?

Twenty -five.

You need a receipt?

No, no, that's fine.

Tax rate, huh?

Not where I live.

All right.

Have a good one, huh?

You too.

Hey, need help, huh?

Yeah, there's something wrong with my
car.

No, really?

Oh, Alyssa, I don't need your jokes
right now.

I need my car fixed. I'm in a hurry.

It started smoking when I was coming
over on 3rd Street. I was looking for

Avenue, trying to get to my daughter.

Is she lost?

I suppose you could say that.

What do you think it is?

An irradiator or something?

Ma 'am, it's hard to tell in five
seconds.

Oh. And then my cell phone gave out.

Ran new and it dropped dead.

I tell you, these Japanese are running
such a scam on these phones.

Hey, man, you should just chill out a
little bit there. You'll live a lot

if you just smile and lay back.

I don't need your advice.

I need my car.

Sorry. Can't help you.

What?

Why? It's your water pump, and I don't
have the parts to fix it.

My mechanic's not in until tomorrow.

And one more thing.

I don't like your attitude.

My attitude?

Mine? What am I supposed to do now?

What most of us do.

Use the payphone.

Or take a bus.

Operator? Operator?

Taxi? Hey, taxi!

Taxi!

Get your green card, Swami!

Hey, it's a free country, right?

Don't panic.

There's got to be a phone around here
that works.

I've lost something.

when no sample you got.

Now. Enter to learn. Go forth to serve.

It's time, Megan.

You wouldn't let me go out with him
because he's black. Now you don't even

me to stand.

May God have mercy on us all. Just a
little further.

David?

David! No, not yet.

First, you're due in court.

Court? I had a heart attack, right?

Correct.

You have a heart attack, you go to
intensive care or you sue for

But I'm not nice to you, so where am I?

Think about it.

Oh, my God.

Exactly.

Glad you could make it. I am late again.

Sorry, Your Honor.

Your Honor?

Is this some kind of a joke? Did my
staff arrange this?

Let me see here.

Ms. Megan Margaret McCleary, you are
charged with treating

your fellow human beings with contempt.

You're charged with showing no mercy.

And, ah, yes, you are charged with
racism.

What? That's a crock.

I object.

Really?

Well, you are an officer of the court
which promises equal

justice for all.

Justice is blind.

But you're not, are you?

You can see color very clearly. But
Derek's great.

He gets straight A's. He's on the
student council and the basketball team.

Interracial couples have a very hard
time. And so do their children.

Mom, I'm not marrying Derek. I'm just
going to the junior prom with him. No,

Heather, you're not. You and Derek are
very different kind of people. And I'm

sure his parents feel the same way. You
don't know that.

I know that it's not going to go very
far in the long run. I just don't want

to be hurt.

I already said I'd go with him.

Well, then you'll apologize, and he'll
understand, and it'll be the best for

everybody.

I was just protecting Heather.

From an honor student?

I am not a racist.

Well, what about before you were an
officer of the court, when you were an

officer of the law?

I can't help it if minorities fit the
profile.

You're sworn to prosecute on the
evidence, Miss McCleary, not on the

Detective McCleary, do you see the
shooter here in the courtroom?

Yes, it's the defendant, Hector Soto.

May God Almighty have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins, and bring us to

everlasting life.

The defendant,

Hector Soto.

God help you. Hector Soto, I sentence
you to death.

May God have mercy on your soul.

Innocent.

Please, I'm innocent!

I'm innocent!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Hector Soto was innocent.

No, Hector Soto was a cold -blooded
killer.

I saw him with my own two eyes.

I'm afraid what you saw is a man with
the wrong skin color.

Your Honor, my client was in love with
the victim, which may have clouded her

judgment at the time.

There are such things as honest
mistakes.

No, this was no mistake.

Hector Soto killed David.

Request a sidebar, Your Honor. No, it's
not. Necessary here, Ms. McCleary.

I have reached my decision.

I'm sentencing you to life.

What? No, that's actually good.

You will have three days on Earth to
rectify your mistake and prevent the

execution of Hector Soto.

You will go back... Three days?

I can't get this done in three days. You
don't know the New York criminal

justice system.

Your Honor, I am pleading with you to...
You have shown no mercy in your court.

Why should I show you any in mine?

Three days.

You will go back with all your memories
intact.

No one will recognize you. You are a
free agent in the universe with the

blessing of God Almighty and his court.

But... How?

That...

Very funny, Jones.

Who's Jones?

Nobody.

Come on.

You know, I have a right to be frisked
by a female officer.

What are you, a lawyer?

Come on. Better make it look good for
the Johns, don't I, detective?

Better not be that good or I'll
rearrange your face in a manner your

won't even recognize.

Don't get your knickers in a wad.

This isn't funny.

You better get me out of here.

Listen, I don't want no partners. Get
the name straight, all right? It's

Nobody can see me unless I want them to,
which I don't.

I'd ignore me unless you want them to
think you're nuts.

You know what? I'm sorry. Jones was the
name of my last partner.

Oh, yeah?

I know the guy?

Not unless you're dead and you're trying
to get into heaven.

Message received.

Okay, fun's over.

I'm Hispanic.

Hey, good for you.

I'm Italian.

What's the story on that anyway,
Esposito? You don't look like the Rican.

Well, looks can be deceiving.

Shake a leg, Chiquita.

We're going to get back the 11th for
that meeting on the Martinez operation.

Wait a minute.

Martinez.

That's the bus where David got killed.

The trade with Martinez's people will
take place here.

Backup will be in a stakeout in the van
across the street.

Hazen McCleary, this is your operation.

If anything goes hinky, you call it.
Nothing will go wrong, sir. It's an

airtight setup.

That's right. I'm going in as a Miami
money man looking to score 20 kilos.

Meg will be wired right next to me. And
Vice will be there to ID the device.

Where's Vice?

Right here, sir.

Me. Ma 'am.

Sposito. What?

I didn't have this operation. It wasn't
for my snitch.

Snitch? Going on the word of a snitch,
huh? No wonder this thing gets blown.

How do we know this isn't a setup?

David's going to be out there. I mean,
Detective Hayes is going to be out there

in the open.

We know, Officer McCleary.

Clearly, I am Detective Esposito.

And we're getting them female and Puerto
Ricans.

Thanks for your input, Esposito, but we
got it under control.

You and your nervous friend here,
Senorita Esposito, cover the street.

Lumley and Cove, you got Van Doody.

Why didn't she come in? And T and Clute,
I want you up on the roof.

Don't you want to share with the class?

Oh, sir, sorry.

Hazel will be wearing a vest, right?

Uh, negative. They're probably going to
want to pat me down.

I'm his partner, okay?

I got his back.

If you can't handle it, Esposito, just
say the word and you're off it.

I want to go.

I'm going.

Well, then let's do it.

Appreciate the concern, but don't worry,
I'm wearing my lucky socks.

I thought I smelled them.

You're quick, Esposito. You're all
right.

Listen, when this goes down, my partner
and I will buy the beers.

Don't go.

What is it?

I miss... I mean, I miss having a
partner like you.

Oh, Graffia.

He's okay.

For a male chauvinist pig.

Put his hands on you yet?

Oh, yeah.

You know, there ought to be a law.

There will be.

See you out there.

It hurts me to look at him. He's the
most alive man I've ever met, and

leading him off to the slaughter.

Meg, your mission here is to stop the
execution of an innocent man, remember?

So if I stop David from being killed,
Hector Soto won't be arrested, and there

will be no execution, right?

Do you think anyone would mind if we
maybe borrowed a little?

Well, it'd be enough to send you to law
school full time instead of at nights.

Not to mention my classic cherry red
Corvette.

What do you need with a phase magnet
like that?

Oh, because I got to keep my babe happy.
She likes to go fast, you know.

Have you checked out the rival gangs in
the area? Any of them connected to

Martinez or hold a grudge against him?

Martinez is a solo operator.

He runs a tight operation.

Yeah, he's also a scum who would double
-cross his mother if it meant a buck in

his pocket.

Have you got some information you want
to share?

No, I just have a gut feeling, and it
doesn't feel good.

A gut feeling? Are you a cop or a
psychic?

Just careful.

You're a hand -wringer, and hand
-wringers make me nervous.

Okay, okay.

Esposito, I know you're new to major
cases, but it's nothing to worry about,

okay? It's a simple handle.

How about you wear the vest?

If I'm wrong, I'll buy the beers. Gee,
she's stubborn. She reminds me of you.

You want to talk stubborn?

Take it.

They start to pat you down, we'll move
in.

Hayes, you're going to be in the line of
fire here. Where I've been plenty of

times before.

I can take care of myself.

Then do it.

Team one, Mance, you ready?

Team two, Groff, you ready?

Here they come.

Let's do it.

David, it's not too late to call this
thing off.

Why do you vice guys think you're the
only ones who can do undercover?

Here we go.

Don't forget, Esposito, we buy the
beers.

We're making contact here.

Oh, don't tell me a bright little old
maid.

She doesn't like to let me out of her
sight.

You know, women, can't live with them,
can't shoot them.

So are we okay?

Let him go, David.

Let him go.

Okay.

Martinez!

You left him alone.

I had no choice. You want to blow the
whole deal?

I've lost visual on Hayes.

I got him.

I don't like this.

He's going to get trapped in there if
that car doesn't move. I'm going in.

hold tight.

You want to blow our cover?

Tell me he's wearing a vest.

Tell me.

He's wearing a vest.

Of course I am.

Oh, hey, it's not that I don't trust you
boys, but it's a bad neighborhood.

You know what I mean?

Show me the green.

Show me the white.

Change is being made.

He's got a knife. Get ready.

What is it?

Martina's pulled a knife.

Allow me.

Steady. He's only testing.

It's okay.

He's walking. Get ready.

Done.

Deal's been made.

and i mean i think moving and and

and and and and and and and

What are you doing? Stop him.

You're going to be all right. You can't
die on me.

We've got some things to do.

We've got to get you that Terry red
Corvette, huh?

Get away.

Don't touch him. He's fine.

Come on, David.

David, look at me.

Look at me.

Hold on.

Bring him back. You can do it.

I can't. Take me.

Me for him.

But it's not just you, is it, Meg?

I can't believe what I saw.

It wasn't Hector.

God forgive me.

He does.

You know, if I had a computer, I could
pull up the right guy before she even

knew the difference.

Can't you help me?

I don't know any more than you do.

It's 1982. The department doesn't have
computers yet.

We may do with what we have. Yeah, but
I'm about to convict an innocent man.

That's why you're here.

So stop yourself before it's too late.

I want this, Luke.

I can't give it to you.

He was my partner.

If I were a man, you'd let me work it.
If you were a man, I'd send you home to

your wife.

I was the only one who saw the perp,
which makes me the only eyewitness

got.

No, it doesn't.

Fine. I'll work it with her, then.

Esposito.

Yes?

You two are on this together.

I'll give you 24 hours, then I'm calling
it a homicide.

All right, that's good.

Oh, McCleary. Yes?

He was a good man.

Yeah, he was.

Meg, can I talk to you for a second?

Just leave me alone, all right?

You know, everyone would understand if
you went home, especially David.

How would you know what David would or
wouldn't understand?

I know David would just want you to keep
your head on straight, even if it meant

taking some time off. Forget it!

I'm going to nail this, Beck. You got a
problem with that Esposito?

Yeah, I got a problem with it.

He's not Hispanic.

Oh, I see.

It would be real bad for your people if
one of your paisanos killed a cop.

You really ought to get your racial
service straight.

Paisano's Italian.

But understand this. I want this guy as
badly as you do.

You know, this morning you seemed to
know exactly what was going to happen.

Why is that?

I told you I had a gut feeling.

Call it women's intuition.

ESP. Call it whatever you want to call
it, but get it straight. I saw him and

he's white.

He's Hispanic.

Look, I know things have been crazy. I'm
just asking you to take a little time

and think about it.

You think I thought of anything else
since it happened?

I know.

But you're thinking about David.

How if just one little thing had been
different.

How if he hadn't been looking at you, he
would have seen the knife.

His blue eyes.

And how...

Why you didn't say I love you before you
got out of the car?

Stop! Don't you dare try to use my
feelings to change my mind. I know what

saw.

So back off!

She's grieving.

And so are you.

I don't know what I'm doing here.

I can't change anything. I couldn't even
stop David from being killed.

Some things aren't meant to be changed.

Predestination.

The time is running out. You have less
than two days.

You have to focus, Meg.

You couldn't save David, but you can
still save Hector.

How am I going to convince myself that
he didn't do it?

She's positive that he did.

Prove her wrong.

Morning, Chiquita.

Pulling all nighter?

Yeah, I would say.

Is that mine?

Mm -hmm.

You're pregnant.

Maybe you really are a psychic.

David didn't even know about it. I was
going to tell him.

Maybe if I had, he would have listened
to you.

Been more careful.

Been alive today.

Listen, I've come to believe that
nothing in heaven or earth would have

that. And I'll tell you this, it's not
over for David. It's just beginning.

There's a whole other life after life.

I was thinking of...

You know, not having it.

Thank God I didn't do that. This baby's
all I have left of David now.

All that said, I may just die of morning
sickness.

Cheese grits.

Grits. Yeah, it'll get you through it.

What kind of Latino are you? Grits.

Wait a second, that's starting to sound
really good.

Sorry, ladies.

Cleary, we got a match.

That's him.

Hector Soto.

Physicals match.

Member of the 117th Street Gang.

You can't let her bring him in. You've
only got one more day. Once he's in the

system... I know.

Oh, wait a minute. It says right here,
former member of the 117th Street Gang.

Yeah, right. The guy's got a rap sheet
about as long as your arm.

Grand theft. Possession of coke.

Assault. This is our guy. He's your guy.
He's not mine.

What's this?

I thought you guys had this guy ID.

He is.

This is the scum that murdered David.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. It says
here that he had a tattoo on his knife

hand. Do you remember seeing a tattoo?

I wasn't looking at his hand. I was
looking at his face. I was looking at

face, too. And that's not the guy. You
need to get your story straight. I don't

want any mistakes made on this. Neither
do I.

I'm picking this guy up.

Are you coming or not?

Get the artist back on that same
description, white male.

I don't want to get in the middle of any
cut. Just do it.

Do it.

I tell you, he's not here.

Miss, you are wrong.

My actor, he no with that gang no more.
He cleaned himself up.

Ask Father Ignacio. He'll tell you. He
helped him.

I'd rather ask Hector.

Where is he?

Hanging with his gang or just take the
dope and run off? He not run, no.

He go to church. Then he run some
errands for me. Church?

Is that what they call gang central now?

If you hear anything at all from Hector,
please call me.

Esposito, por favor, ayúdame.

Mi hijo es inocente.

What's she saying?

She's saying her son is innocent.

Ask her the name of the church.

I don't speak Spanish.

¿Dónde está la iglesia?

Sobre la calle Tercera. La iglesia de
Santo Tomás.

Gracias.

Look at that. She told the truth.

Why would she lie if he's innocent?

Come on. I think I'd say it for the
priest, Esposito.

Confession's good for the soul, huh,
Hector?

Excuse me.

That's right. You see it coming. Better
than what David got.

Who's David?

The man you killed.

Stand up.

Killed?

I didn't kill anyone. I'm clean.

Okay, I've been clean. Ask Father and
not you. You can ask him when he reads

your last rights.

You're under arrest for the murder of
Detective David Hayes.

Read him.

You have the right to remain silent.

What you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law. You

believe me. I never killed anyone in my
life. An attorney will be appointed. And

I hope you burn in hell. You understand
your rights.

Judge not, lest you be judged.

Save it for someone who cares.

Fred, you're all out, Hector.

All out of cigarettes?

All at a lice, all at a time.

Do you know what death throws me like,
Hector?

I felt David's body convulse as he died
in my arms.

It's a shaking no human can stop, like
an electrical storm.

And that's what you're going to feel
when they put you in the electric chair

pull the switch.

I'm not afraid.

Because I'm innocent. I didn't do it.

You liar!

Meg, come on. You want me dead.

Who's the murderer?

You're lying!

You're all liars! Meg, you're losing it.
Come on.

Get him out of here.

What do you want me to do with him? Book
him. Release him. No.

No. No. You don't have any evidence.

I saw him. I'll say you didn't see him.
Do you think that the DA is going to

move on conflicting eyewitness
testimony?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll pick him up again and again and
again until he pays.

Me. If I disappear now, boy, Hector
Soto's a dead man.

I'm sorry.

It's your third day. You don't have much
time left.

What difference does it make? My life is
going to be nothing if he goes down.

You know, I looked at Hector Soto
tonight.

I really looked at him.

And for the first time, I didn't see the
color of his skin.

I saw a man who was struggling to be.

Just trying to exist in a state of
grace.

And then you touched him.

And he felt that.

What did he feel, Meg?

The same thing we all want to feel.

What, Meg?

Love.

Then reach out to the part of yourself
that understands that.

How?

How do I reach that part of myself?

Why are you on their side?

There are no sides here.

There's only the truth.

And David wouldn't have done it this
way.

You didn't even know David. I know what
David stood for.

I know that he wouldn't convict an
innocent man just because he felt

Guilty of what?

The stakeout was your idea.

You feel responsible for David's death.

And you think that by convicting Hector
Soto that all the guilt will go away.

But it won't.

The only thing it'll do is destroy
everything you care about.

Your ethics.

Your happiness.

And your daughter.

You're a freak.

Meg.

Meg, don't be afraid of me. It's like
being afraid of yourself.

What do you want from me?

I want the truth.

Let's go. I don't have a lot of time.

So let's go.

Why are you bringing me here?

So you can remember everything you
already know.

I know David is dead and I'm never going
to see him again.

Do you believe in miracles?

No.

You have a miracle growing inside you
right now.

What is it you want me to do?

Think back.

Every detail.

Fear.

Some people stink with fear.

David smelled like... Yes.

Remember everything.

David had completed the bye and was
walking towards us.

A man knocked us from behind.

He was wearing a black motorcycle
jacket.

He turns, raises a knife, Which hand did
he have the knife?

Right, in the right hand.

He didn't have a tattoo.

God help me.

He will.

What do I do now?

Well, you find the guy that did this,
and you put him behind bars.

And you finish law school.

And then you raise your child and you go
on with your life.

How do I do that without David?

One day at a time.

I just wish I could see him one more
time, you know? Tell him.

He knows.

I gotta go.

Go where?

What about the case?

Oh, you can handle it. I've got to get
on with my old life, or my new life, I

hope.

Hi.

Heather.

What's that?

David smelled like Heather.

What you say?

My daughter, Heather.

She's gonna kill me.

Can't be helped.

She's gonna need a new water pump.

It's a he.

What's that?

You called it a she, and it's a he.

Can you fix it, though? Oh, I can fix
it, but not tonight. I gotta order some

parts.

You look worried.

Can I give you a ride somewhere?

I'm just a little late for my daughter.

But thank goodness for the Japanese.

After Pearl Harbor, I am not too
impressed.

Come on, now we have to forgive and
forget. That's what the good book says.

It also says an eye for an eye. Well,
but if we did that, we'd all be blind.

Mom,

there she is. I told you, dear.

She did miss Cleary. She said she bet
you had car trouble.

You're going to go broke keeping that
old thing going, and one day you're

to be in big trouble and it breaks down.
Tell her, Derek.

You worry too much.

Tell her, Derek. I can't tell her
anything. She's just like you.

Derek's parents are waiting dinner for
us.

You know, I'm always late. Hold on, I'll
get my purse.

Seriously, Mom, when are you going to
get rid of this old car?

Oh, probably when you're finished with
high school. I'll give it to you as a

graduation present.

All right.

You're a lawyer, Mom. You're supposed to
have a better car than your client.

I'm a public defender.

It is better.

So you'll take care of this, huh?

Yes, ma 'am. You can count on it. I got
my man out there on it right now.

Thanks.
