Original subtitles

Spit in the mirror.

No.

Get a big toothpaste in your mouth

and spit in the mirror.

See, I do something once for you, Theo,

and then you keep asking me to do it all the time.

Brush your teeth now.

Let me look at your lip.

Pale.

It�s purple, but you�re pale generally,

and don�t make fun of your dad now.

Here.

You stop at Dr. Kronig�s before your school

because this is enough now with this.

Okay, dad.

See, now there again is a smart-aleck tone, Theo,

and i�ve asked you not to get smart-alecky.

All right. Don�t worry, son.

Don�t worry about nothing.

Yeah.

Here we go.

Hey, honey. Stopped by on your way to work?

You�re a liar.

Jill.

You said it was going to be done, Don.

Do not ask what a nightmare Wilmington turned out to be.

You said it was going to be done.

Then this low-rent Guinea in Wilmington came up empty.

So now when is it over?

Soon. Absolutely.

When?

I got to see him.

Did Kyle wet the bed again last night?

Please.

You know, maybe you should quit coming over here, Jill.

Let me give you a call

when we�re ready to hit the turnpike.

I�m not saying this is not my fault.

No.

I�m a miracle baby.

I came back from the dead.

I should have done what I said I was going to do

if you called me again.

Who�s in there?

It�s not a hooker. It�s a guy.

It�s not a guy hooker.

Detective...

That was a travesty of proper procedure --

failing to identify yourself as a police officer.

Is he alive?

Jill...trust me.

Go to work.

Keep the city safe.

Our best to your partner.

Morning, Andy.

Morning. How�s it going?

You look like you�re in sixth grade.

In what way?

I don�t know.

How you�re sitting, you just remind me of a schoolkid.

Yeah, well, those days are long gone.

No adult education courses for you.

I stopped with Theo at the pediatrician�s,

that he�s been looking pale,

and then he had me drop him at school.

So the pediatrician wasn�t worried.

Agreed he was pale, drew a blood test on him,

and then said to drop him at school.

He -- he�d be in touch with the result.

How quick do they get them?

He said evidently they could get it pretty quick.

So that�s good, you know, get it behind you.

Yeah, so that�s what i�m waiting on.

I used to worry all the time with my sisters,

till my aunt says, "they tell you when they�re sick."

Don�t act sick at all. He�s bouncing around.

But I was noticing the color.

No, but that�s sensible, your aunt.

Hey, John.

15th squad.

Yeah, this is me.

-I see.

All right.

All right.

Let me...

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right, well,

I got to get over there.

Where, Andy?

I got to get him and so forth.

You want me to come with you, Andy?

He wants me to come in.

Let me call Katie.

Lost time.

All right.

It�s me, Katie. Can you meet me at his school?

Let�s not discuss it by phone, all right, Katie?

Are you able to come in?

He�s not hurt. Wouldn�t I tell you if he was hurt?

Damn it, Katie, are you going to come in,

or do you want to give me

one more thing that I got to worry about?

All right.

All right. Thanks very much.

20 minutes or so forth.

Takes the train right in -- Katie.

Pick him up,

i�ll wait for her with him outside the school,

or if it�s not too early for a hot dog --

no, it -- it�s probably too early.

All right, let me go.

All right, Andy.

What have you got?

Home invasion.

D.O.A. forced his way in, attacks the girl.

Father and brother come home, go after the guy with bats.

What�s the girl�s name?

Anita rios. Father�s Alberto rios.

Son�s Eddie.

D.o.a.�s Larry cardona.

He�s 30.

We come home, he�s got her on the floor screaming.

He was going to rape her. We come home just in time.

Your name is Anita?

I�m detective Jones, Anita.

Forced his way in.

You weren�t home, right?

She was home alone.

You know him? No.

Anita, how did this man get in here?

He knocked, she opened the door,

and he pushed in.

I�m asking her.

I opened the door,

he wanted to know who was home,

then he pushed me and come in,

and then he threw me down on the floor.

Where do you keep those bats?

By the door. I don�t want a gun in my house.

Is the knife yours or the dead guy�s?

He come at US with that.

We had to hit him.

All of you need to come to the station house

for what?

So we can get your statement.

I got to protect my family. It was her he was on.

Her. That�s right.

Your daughter.

Her. My daughter.

That�s right.

Let�s go in to the station house.

He�s in my home. He had a knife.

Are we going to have a problem?

Not if you come to the station house.

Hi, Jill.

Morning, Danny.

How you doing? How�s the boys?

Good.

Where�s Andy?

Lost time.

He�s going over a health checkup with theo�s doctor.

Test results.

Morning.

Morning, Diane.

So are those routine?

They gave Theo a blood test based that he was pale.

When?

Before school,

and then the doctor called with the results.

He�s going over to his office -- Andy --

and bringing Theo in.

The doctor asked him to bring Theo back?

Katie�s meeting Andy at theo�s preschool,

and they�re going to take him over,

so, you know, that�s mildly worrisome.

What it might be,

he might want to put Theo on an antibiotic right away.

Yeah, start with a shot

and then put him on oral meds.

Kyle�s had that twice.

Good for andy�s doc,

wanting to jump right on it.

They�re very aggressive now with some of those bugs.

How are you doing?

Good.

Thanks, Jill.

Something terrible is going to happen.

To who?

Denby�s psycho.

Wired on coke, just about cops to dealing.

Don�s moving for him?

Off what Baldwin saw, Don has to be dealing for denby.

They ought to inventory all the property rooms

for missing coke.

Yeah.

What are we going to do about Jill?

What, telling her about Don?

You don�t think Jill knows?

No.

No. Absolutely not.

Sipowicz, Theo.

Hi, Mr. Sipowicz. I�m Mimi.

I was your floor nurse after your prostate operation.

That�s right.

Are you Theo?

No more shots.

Mr. Sipowicz and his son Theo,

Dr. Timmons.

Hi. Hi, Theo.

Hi.

Theo�s aunt Katie.

Hello.

How do you do?

Theo, would you like to see our playroom

while I talk to your dad?

I�ll show you where we keep our ice pops.

Come on, Theo.

Let�s go see what they�ve got.

They got bald kids.

Why don�t we talk where I can watch Theo?

Okay.

When you want one, this is secret.

It�s only for the kids who play in this room.

I don�t want one. My arm hurts.

Okay.

Come on, Theo, let�s go and look at the fishes.

They got a tank like you have at home.

You want to name these fishes?

His hemoglobin�s low.

Yes. I�ve spoken with Dr. Kronig.

His red blood cells.

Has Theo been listless recently,

or is he sleeping more than usual?

No. He bounces around. Isn�t that a good sign?

It�s always good when a child is normally active.

Don�t they tell you if they�re sick?

Once i�ve examined Theo,

we�ll draw more bloods and get a chest film

and tomorrow, we�ll do a bone marrow study.

God.

Theo shouldn�t have food after midnight tonight.

That way we can sedate him and keep him comfortable.

How do you study his bone marrow?

We draw some marrow from his hip with a needle.

He can�t take no more shots. He don�t want no more.

Mr. Sipowicz, we can�t help Theo until we find out

why he isn�t making red blood cells the way he should.

But then are you confident that you can help him?

I know you�re concerned and disturbed,

and I wish I could give you some blanket assurance.

There�s no reason at this point

to think we can�t help Theo.

I can also tell you, as he moves through this,

your son is going to take his emotional cues from you.

Woman: Wheelchair to room 217.

Okay.

Okay, I understand.

This orange one, right here?

Donald duck number two.

Like Donald duck number one at home.

How about this blue one down here?

Tigger number two.

Yeah, because you have Donald one and tiger one at home.

And how about the black and white one in the back?

See him?

Bald kid.

I�m going to go get Theo now.

Okay.

Dr. Walsh to the nurses� station.

Aunt Katie?

Why don�t you bring Theo and come with me?

Okay. Come on, sweetie. I�ll hold you up here.

Now i�ll give you to daddy.

I named the fishes after you.

Hey, buddy.

Here you go. This way.

Why don�t both you gentlemen sit here

until we get things organized?

Baldwin, you want to take Ms. Rios to the coffee room?

Where�s she going?

To the coffee room.

Why don�t we make our statements together?

Together?

What�s so funny?

From people together

is not how we take the statements, Mr. Rios.

We take them individually

from you and your son in another interview room.

We take your daughter�s in the coffee room.

Okay?

�cause we�ve been doing this a long time.

Yeah, all right.

Go ahead with them.

Come on, Anita.

Can she bring coffee out to US?

No. We�ll bring you the beverages you want.

You both want coffee?

Black and sweet.

Coffee?

You got a cola?

We�ll get you a coke.

Go ahead.

When did you start drinking coke?

So what went down at that building?

Those two supposedly come across

some guy named cardona

trying to rape the girl d.�s got in the coffee room.

That�s the one guy�s daughter and the other one�s sister.

Time they�re through with him, cardona�s d. O. A.

They smashed his head with ball bats.

We should get a rape kit on the daughter.

Supposedly they came on the guy before he raped her.

Does the daughter confirm

the attempted sexual assault?

Yeah, yeah, so far she confirms it.

That girl�s scared out of her mind.

Some guy booked from the building,

jumped into a gray Van,

and banged into a grocery truck across the street,

right time frame.

Grocer got the plates. We�re running that down.

We�ll ask these three here about a second assailant.

And a few other questions.

Yes.

The girl first?

How about Jill?

Yeah, sure.

Help with an interview?

Um...

Or, you know what?

We�re good, Jill.

Thanks, Greg.

We got it.

First thing me and my partner want you to know, Anita --

nothing you say is going to leave this room.

I told you what happened.

Tell US again without your dad and brother around.

He knocked. I opened the door.

He pushed in, and while he was attacking,

my brother and father come home,

and they took the bat to him to get him off.

Anita, sympathetic as we are to your situation,

how you�re telling the story

and how your dad and brother are telling it

don�t ring right to US.

Your dad and brother sound to US

like they�ve had an anger against this guy

that had built up a while.

We�re wondering if you might have known cardona,

and maybe your dad and brother didn�t approve.

No.

You�d never seen him before?

No.

When you say he was attacking,

had he begun trying to rape you?

Yes.

He laid hands on you?

Yes.

And that happened to be

when your father and brother came in?

Show me where.

All right?

And those bruises are from today?

Yes.

They look older than that, Anita.

Those bruises look like you�ve had them a while.

What do you want from me?

Why are you trying to beat me down?

He raped me. Don�t say he didn�t �cause he did.

You�re saying he actually had raped you

before your dad and brother got there?

He grabbed me, he pushed me in,

he held me down, and raped me...

Four days ago. Four days ago, all right?

Don�s alive. He�s supposed to be dead.

So what, if he�s not jill�s husband?

Right.

This task force asshole -- denby --

so what,

if we�re not worried about Jill?

Worried about Jill how?

"How" can be worried you got to tell her

that this bad guy is back in her life.

"How" can also be worried she already knows...

Worried you got to tell her.

If she don�t know don�s alive yet,

that�s pain jill�s got coming,

and better it�s from a friend.

Where if she already knows,

that�s pain we got coming, and better we face it now.

I�m not giving her to the job.

She�s not involved,

it�s a call to the rat squad.

They grab up denby and Don -- end of conversation.

She is, we make some decisions.

Like making it her fault

this prick came back in her life?

Like taking her away from her kids?

I�m not giving her up, Danny.

If she is involved and we�re not giving her up,

Don has to disappear.

Don�s gone, denby�s collared --

it don�t go back to Jill.

Don has to disappear?

Yeah, he has to disappear.

And he�s a skell --

enough time alive, he reaches back out.

Don has to disappear.

So that�s what would have to happen.

What�s she saying now

about why this guy was in her apartment?

She hasn�t come off that.

Still says he was up there trying to rape her.

But he first raped her four days ago?

That�s what she�s saying.

Plate number that grocer took down --

comes back to this guy.

Make one pass at the father and brother,

then pick this molina up?

Yeah, �cause something about this story�s wrong.

No second guy.

No one you could help US with?

No one I saw.

If he was a lookout in the hallway,

you�d have probably seen him coming into the apartment --

how you and your son did

once the guy attacking Anita was inside.

I wouldn�t know.

What do you mean?

All I can say is my account.

Any chance this guy could have attacked Anita

some other time, Mr. Rios?

None.

No chance at all?

None absolutely.

She�s got old bruises on her wrists.

Today -- this morning -- I came in with my son.

He was raping my daughter.

I don�t know about no old bruises

or no second guy.

Got to account for the bruises, Eddie.

Who does?

Those bruises are old on anita�s wrists.

There�s no way around that.

I am not her warden, understand?

I don�t account for her 24 hours a day.

Someone else wants to do that, fine.

That�s not me. I lead my own life.

What my sister got and when she got it --

I don�t run that tab.

We came in. He was raping her. We took him out.

End of story.

Sipowicz: 15th squad to 15th squad base.

15th squad base standing by.

Let me talk to Danny, John.

10-4. Wait one.

I-It�s detective sipowicz.

Danny to 15th squad.

Sipowicz: He�s sick.

He�s not making his red blood cells.

That�s why I saw he was pale.

We�re on an open radio.

Do you want to call me back on a landline?

I got no strength in my legs.

Okay, Andy. Where are you?

In front of the house. I�m sitting here like a baby.

I�ll be right down.

His little guy�s sick.

Man: Central to unidentified 15th squad unit --

stay off the air with unauthorized transmissions.

15th squad base --

no unauthorized transmissions.

10-4.

Hey, Andy.

Brother.

Step at a time.

I�m losing my composure.

All right.

I�m no good to him like this.

Is Katie with him?

Taking his nap.

I waited till he was asleep.

So right now Theo is napping.

So that�s where we are now.

I got no strength in my legs.

So we sit in the car.

Who heard my voice on the transmitter?

Nobody. Just me and John.

Who knows what�s wrong with the baby?

The boss and Diane and Jill,

that I said you went to the doctor.

Do they know the baby�s condition?

No, Andy.

...what�s going to happen?

We�re sitting right here.

I got no strength.

I got no strength for him.

All right, Andy.

What am I going to do?

I-I cry just to look at him.

All right.

I�m no good like this.

When I was in a tough part, did you say to lean on you?

Are you not going to lean on me now?

...boy.

God...

Give me strength.

We�re going to make it.

We�re going to make it, Andy. Step at a time.

Come on in, Michael. Come on in and sit down.

Where do you want me to sit?

I want you to sit where I show you.

It�s no big thing, Michael,

but you do want to work with US.

A lot of times --

which is what we think is going on

with this pain-in-the-balls grocer --

a guy�s got pre-existing damage to his vehicle.

He tries to pass that off as being caused by you.

Do we want him to get away with that?

No. On the other hand, if you won�t even

put yourself at the scene giving his Van a little Nick,

then we got his exaggeration against your complete fib.

Then we got to go with him.

I�ll tell you,

i�ve got a migraine headache to where I can�t even see.

Did you get that

before you hit this grocer�s Van,

or after?

No. I hit the Van.

You want me to say that? Okay.

What were you in such a hurry about?

Yeah, �cause the people that took your license plate

said they saw you running out of some building

before you jumped in your Van.

I�m half blind with this headache now.

Yeah?

Like someone hit you with a baseball bat.

Anyways...

This shouldn�t take much longer.

What�s going on here? What�s the whole situation?

What were you doing running from the building, Michael?

What�s my whole situation?

Because there�s no way I had a day like this.

No way close.

You need to work with US, Michael.

Larry�s dead.

If you say, "Larry who?",

then we know you�re not working with US.

You don�t want this adversarial.

How the law�s set up --

a perpetrator dies during the commission of a felony,

his running buddy�s responsible.

Even if he was booking across the street,

jumping in his gray Van,

and nicking some grocer�s Van just trying to get away,

the running buddy�s looking at the needle.

I�m blind now.

You guys don�t believe it, but i�m 100% blind.

Suppose we get you some water, Michael,

let you pull yourself together a minute.

Look, i�m not responsible for nothing,

and I don�t know what happened at that place.

No?

No?

Could you get me an aspirin with the water?

Then i�ll work with you.

John.

That girl in the bathroom...

Anita rios.

When she�s done,

can you keep her company in the catching area?

Jill and I need the coffee room a few minutes.

Of course.

Can we talk a minute, Jill?

Yesterday in, freddie�s,

i�d got some checks made good for Darla --

the cashier?

She was grateful, you know.

She made them wrap up some cake for me.

And I was looking across the street,

waiting for the cake...

And I saw Don across the street, Jill.

I mean, I can�t even believe that�s possible.

Can you?

And what if it was?

You know, I mean --

you told me four months ago he was dead,

and I made him dead to me.

That�s great, you know.

That�s great -- that attitude --

because he can only ruin your life again.

And as far as what I told you...

This task force asshole denby

showed me a body he said was don�s

that was burned so there was no fingerprints

and decapitated for no dental records,

and I was sure denby was right

�cause he had bobby�s ring,

that I had let Don and you use the apartment.

Sorry, Diane.

There�s nothing to be sorry about.

That�s not why i�m telling you that.

Why are you telling me, then?

I mean, it�s just...

This is horrible, you know? All of it.

It is what it is.

What are you going to do?

You know, with -- with you not involved

and him dead to you...

Screw Don and this denby, right?

How�s denby involved?

You know, I saw him with Don when I saw him on the street.

And then you talked to him yesterday.

I talked to denby, yeah.

So you�re going to give them to the job?

Screw both of them, right? Denby and Don.

What about my kids?

As far as...

As far as seeing that in the paper? Yeah.

I said that he was gone,

but I didn�t make their father evil.

It�s just a question of time.

This denby is not trying to protect himself --

definitely.

If you�re asking me what I want, Diane --

don�t play god.

If denby�s not trying to protect himself,

then maybe denby will make the mistake

and Don will get away.

So the kids don�t have to find out.

Okay.

Well...

Okay.

Okay.

So after the dive bar,

we partied at alonzo�s.

That�s after-hours on b.

We smoked all our reefer up.

And this morning, like, 8:00,

Larry says this girl he laid four days ago --

the both of US can go lay now.

She gave him her number for whenever he wanted to lay her,

so I said, "why does that include me?"

He said she�d be down to do whatever he wanted her to.

So he called her,

she said we could come,

we went in my Van,

and she buzzed US up.

They smashed larry�s head in.

A couple of steps in,

two of �em I guess was her relatives

came from behind the door.

They took bats at the sides of his head -- whap, whap!

My god...

I ran for my Van

and drove fast away as I could.

When they took the bats to Larry,

did they say anything?

The old man cursed before he hit him,

and when he swung his bat,

the young one yelled, "rape her now!"

Miss rios, why don�t you come back in with me?

She knew.

Knew Don was alive?

She said so?

She lied, but she -- she already knew.

Come home, you can�t get her from her room.

Food is going cold,

you can�t get her out to serve it

or what the hell is wrong?

Next day, the hang-up calls start.

10 hang-ups probably till I had it out with her.

It�s her job to answer and serve the damn food!

Finally, then I got the story --

what happened when leaving the dentist.

That Anita had gotten raped.

Gave this prick our phone to get him off her!

I was never listed 23 years!

And did you tell Anita next time this cardona called

she should invite him over?

I�m not saying we said invite him.

He came, and we found him with her.

No, you didn�t, Eddie. When he came,

you were waiting for him behind the door.

That�s what you say. See what a jury believes.

We think they�ll believe Anita.

Saying she told you what?

Saying your daughter told US you made her invite cardona,

and your son and you laid in wait.

She didn�t say it.

Yeah, she did, Mr. Rios.

She didn�t! She wouldn�t, even if it was true!

Had to go to the dentist.

There�s a girl in the coffee room.

Her dad and brother just went for laying in wait

and braining this guy that raped her four days ago.

We had to push her pretty hard.

She�s not going to trust US.

Want me to talk to her?

We got the d.A. To come up with hotel money

for a few nights.

She�d be going home by herself to a bloodied-up apartment.

Longer term maybe she�d be looking at

crime victim compensation behind the rape.

What�s her name?

Anita rios.

I�m just going to talk to this girl

on Greg and baldwin�s case.

Want to help?

Sure.

Anita rios.

Hi, Anita.

I�m Jill.

My name�s Diane, Anita.

Sorry for all that�s happened.

Got his brains on me.

When they hit him, the blood went on me.

All right, Anita.

I�m not wearing the real dress I had on.

Anita?

Maybe you�d rather not stay in the apartment tonight.

I got nowhere to go.

We can help you with that a few nights --

put you up in a hotel.

A policewoman can go to the apartment with you tomorrow.

And after they�re through with it,

our crime scene unit will clean it up a little.

Because i�m afraid to go there tonight.

What are you going to do with them?

Your father and brother

have to go into the system, Anita.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What�s he doing?

Giving his lovies jobs for while he�s gone.

Stuffed animals --

I asked you not to call them lovies.

So what time tomorrow?

They said be there at 9:00.

Leave at 8:40 or the like?

That sounds fine.

You�re coming with me, right, Katie?

Of course i�m coming.

�cause you get along so good with him,

and i�m worried for my composure.

You get along good with Theo, too, Andy.

You get along wonderful, except when you�re afraid.

Are you not afraid for him?

I�m afraid, but I let god give me faith.

Yeah, yeah, okay, good.

He wants you to read him "green eggs and ham."

For crying out loud.

What if I lose my composure while i�m reading to him?

Come on.

I�ll sit with the boys a while before I go.

I met Sylvia sitting here.

Enlisting in the service,

and the two of you got along.

The baby�s sick?

God, son.

Brother.

Pop, somewheres or other, he�s going to be healthy.

That�s a proven fact.

All right, but refresh me.

I had a hole blown in my neck

the size of a human fist.

You�re absolutely up and around?

That�s a given.

But that�s your organization or your area of conduct,

and that�s not available to me.

What am I, a ghost?

I cannot live on a day-to-day basis,

and I am saying that with honest expression.

If he goes, pop,

that�s not something you get to say.

I cannot live with pain for him or death,

and he is not gone,

and you are pretty cocky

with your -- your know-it-all attitude

and tone,

and where this child lies in that bedroom

or where a needle to suck his marrow out.

Should we go talk to him?

Don�t you presume or butt in or kidnap or embezzle.

Pop.

Don�t you take a superior kidnapping attitude,

or that i�m too old or you are

with the size of a human fist.

He�s all right, pop. Go and look at him.

Or don�t you issue orders.

What I can stand in my bedroom is by myself.

Nobody�s giving you orders.

That day hasn�t come yet,

and I wouldn�t hang around waiting.

No.

I got to go.

Do I got your assurances, Andy?

My only fear is what could happen.

Look at that hole in your neck.

Just be with him, pop.

Don�t be afraid.

What have I got to be afraid about?

This little guy�s 3 1/2.

It was horrible enough with you.

I don�t buy that crap.

Don�t ask me to buy that.

No, okay.

Is he okay, Andy? Honest to god?

Don�t worry about nothing.
