All language subtitles for The Collector - S01E02 - The Prosecutor

You keep that up, you'll live forever.

You have a name for me?

You aren't going to try
and save this one, are you?

I hate to see my
employees wasting their time.

We made a deal.

You said I could try.

Why help people who sold their souls
to the devil? Why not help orphans?

Just give me the name.

Does the defense have any more
witnesses they would like to call?

We would like to recall Detective John
Dreyfus to the stand. You understand,

Detective, that you're
still under oath? Yes.

Could you tell us about
the new evidence that

you brought to my
attention during the break?

Yes, last night we found a pair of
gloves near the scene of the last murder.

We believe they were
worn by the killer during

the dismemberment
before he moved the body.

I object, Your Honor.

The last-minute timing
of this surprise evidence

is clearly a theatrical
stunt to impress you.

I understand your concern, Mr. Baines,

but given the gravity of the charges
against the defendant, I'll allow it.

Thank you.

We would like these gloves to be
entered as exhibit number 72. So ordered.

And why do you believe that these
gloves were used during the murders?

The blood type matches the victim's.

Is there any direct way to link
these gloves to the defendant?

No. The killer wore them over
surgical gloves. There's no traces of DNA.

But they could be used to eliminate the
defendant as a suspect, couldn't they?

Let me guess.

You want the defendant
to try to put the gloves

on. If they don't fit, we must acquit?

With your permission, Your Honor.

Let's try it.

Do you realize that you're
still under oath, Mr. Usher? I do.

And you're willing to try on these gloves?

Yeah, absolutely. Thank you.

I don't understand. I tried these on
before. They were too small. Object.

The gloves must have been switched. Your
Honor, I haven't let them out of my sight.

No, I swear they were too
small. I wasn't even there.

Everyone quiet. You want to
cross-examine, Counselor?

Quiet.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Justice has been served.

I'm innocent.

I didn't do it.

I didn't do that.

Justice.

What?

Do you believe in it?

After everything you've seen?

Everything you've lost?

Just give me the name.

Morgan, you there?

I really should be getting back.

Recess is probably over.

The name.

I missed it.

I didn't do it. Carter Baines. Morgan.

Morgan.

Sorry, I was just babysitting.

Isn't it lovely?

These are all my little souls.

I used to gather them myself, but by
the 14th century, I needed some help.

That's how I found Morgan. He was a
monk back then, so he played hard to get,

but I found that with the right
bait, you can catch any fish you want.

In the end, he came to work
for me. He became a collector.

Then recently he made me
the most interesting proposal

he wants to seek
salvation for his clients.

I decided to let him try.

For now.

Doesn't look like you have many visitors.

What are you doing out of bed?

It's weird. I've been sick for so long
and always tired, and suddenly I'm restless.

I want to get out. You going anywhere?

I have to do some research.

Boring. You got a radio? We could dance.

I don't dance.

Okay.

Okay, could you at least come
with me to the hospital today?

I guess they're all freaked
out by my miraculous recovery.

If they take any more
blood, that'll kill me.

Okay, yeah.

It's funny, huh? After all the
needles I stuck in my own veins,

I still get queasy when
someone else does it.

Ugh.

I don't know where that
piece of evidence came from.

All I know is I didn't kill him!

Well, I thought I had
you this time, Carter.

No bodies, circumstantial evidence.

Tom, it has been a
pleasure and an honor sharing

a courtroom with you all these years.

Thank you.

No, no, no. Not P-I-M. P-Y-M.

I don't know what he looks
like. I've never seen him before.

I got his card off a stiff.

Never mind.

Look, somebody's got to know this guy.
See what you can find out, all right?

Thanks.

Hey, Tiger.

I missed you today.

Did you have fun?

Yeah. Gabe had a good day. No tantrums.

Did he draw anything?

Good.

Just as usual. Cars, trucks, buses.

Did he draw anything like this?

Gabe drew that?

Yeah.

It's a good sign. He's
starting to come out a little bit.

Hi.

Hi.

I'd like to see Mr. Baines.

I'm sorry, he's not in.

I called earlier, and
you said he would be in.

That was the schedule, but he went
out this afternoon unexpectedly.

Where can I reach him?

He's asked me to hold his calls.

Excuse me?

I said he wasn't in.

May I tell him who was looking for him?

No.

A picnic?

You want to have a picnic? Well, why not?

I guess I'm just not
used to seeing you want

to eat anywhere that
doesn't have five stars.

And champagne.

What are you up to?

Well, if all goes well, I'm gonna get
you tipsy and take advantage of you.

Well, what would the papers
say if they found the big-time

prosecutor having sex
with his wife in the park?

They'd say I was the
luckiest man in the world.

What are you doing?

I'm checking to see if there are
any other girls in your phone book.

Maybe this is a guilty conscience.

I'm just trying to appreciate
what I have while I've got it.

What's this?

What?

In your calendar, day
after tomorrow. It's all X's.

Um, that's nothing. That's just
a glitch. I'll get that fixed.

Here.

To us.

To us.

Spontaneous remission.

What exactly does that mean? Well,

the official explanation is that
your immune system has bounced back.

It happens sometimes with
infants who are born with AIDS.

But I have to admit, I never actually
read about it happening with an adult.

Must be your clean living.

So I'm all clear it's not
going to come back or anything?

Not unless you're contracted again
with the same behavior. Hey, no problem.

I've totally given up
ping pong. It's a joke.

This'll just take a second.

Mr. Pym?

She's all done.

There's a button under my desk
that rings straight to the police.

I can hit it before you can try
anything. Police can't help you, Mr. Baines.

Not with this.

You're the guy I busted into my
office this afternoon, aren't you?

I've been expecting someone.

I was supposed to be here for two
days. The process starts early.

In the last 48 hours, you will
lose everything you bargained for.

So what? You just press that red button
and I go straight to hell? Is that it?

You're judge, jury, and executioner.

No. I'm just a collector.

You were judged and sentenced
the moment you made the deal.

But I made a vow never to
push that button again.

I'm here to help you
try to find redemption.

Redemption?

I don't need redemption.

I made my deal so I could do good,

which is exactly what I've
been doing for the last 10 years.

Anyone deserves to go to heaven, it's me.

And I am not about to discuss
my case with some assistant.

I want to speak to the devil himself,

and I trust you will pass
that message along to him.

Now, if you'll excuse
me, I've got work to do,

and I will thank you to get the hell out.

Honey?

Carter, it's almost three.

Something wrong?

No, go back to bed. I'm sorry.
It's all right. I'll be in soon.

I... I'm sorry, it's
really cold in my apartment.

And I can't get warm.

You're late.

Just wanted to give you
some time with your whore.

Oh, is she feeling poopy?

Why'd you do it?

Why'd you cure her?

Now that hurts my feelings.

I'm not evil. I'm just misunderstood.

You don't give without taking.

Oh, come on. Don't book a
gift demon in the mouth.

She's your first little project
in almost, what is it, 30 years?

Are you finally going
to give up on Katrina?

You'll leave Katrina out of this.

600 years and you still can't let go.

You must feel pretty guilty.

I'm not the one who killed her.

She was dying.

I gave her ten more years. That's
what you asked for. More time with her.

You didn't specify she had to
live after you were done with her.

Always the same with humans.
Just thinking of themselves.

Not always.

I checked Bane's record,
and he's telling the truth.

He sold his soul to help other people.

Don't be a sap.

It's all ego.

He just wanted to win all his cases.

He wanted to win so that
good would triumph over evil.

And who is he to think
he knows the difference?

He won't talk to me.

He wants to meet with you.

Tell the arrogant prick he can go to hell.

It's past my bedtime.

Night!

The sun's called. This one's
from Commissioner Halliwell.

Helen called again, and Stuart would like
to know if you could meet next Tuesday.

I'm sorry, Mr. Baines. I
didn't see him come in.

It's all right, Yvonne.
Please hold my calls.

Certainly.

The devil said no to a meeting.

How do I know you asked? You're wasting
time, Mr. Baines, and you don't have much.

We need to work on
finding your redemption.

Do you know what led me to
make my deal, Mr... Pym.

Morgan Pym.

No, I don't. Mr. Pym?

I was prosecuting a
man named Phil Gennaro.

When I'd been to the scene of
the crime, it was a bloodbath.

Mr. Gennaro had killed his whole family
and claimed some crazed hippies had done it.

His story was full of inconsistencies.

The man was a volcano,
a history of violence.

They were gonna let him off.

You understand?

A killer was gonna go free.

That's when he came to
you. Yeah, I won that case.

I put that bastard away.

I haven't lost a case since.

I have been protecting the people
of this city from the bad guys.

Now, why don't you tell me
what it is I have to make up for?

Who are you?

Someone who believes in redemption.

Jeez.

I finally get a visitor and it
turns out to be a religious nut.

I read about your trial,
but I want to hear your

side of the story. You think I'm innocent?

It doesn't matter. It's ancient history.

That guy they convicted, Phil
Gennaro, he doesn't exist anymore.

What do you mean?

I started getting in trouble
the first day I went to prison.

Turns out inmates
don't like child killers,

especially if they think
they killed their own kids.

First, I just took it,
the beatings, the knife in.

Then one day I fought back. I killed
the guy who was going to kill me first.

You didn't read about that?

Well...

That got me some respect.

But it put another 12
years on my sentence,

which means I'll be dead before
I ever get out of this place.

Not that it matters.

Because I got nothing.

On the outside. So are you, Innes?

Well, if I was before.

And so based on your analysis
of the bullet's trajectory,

can you tell us what floor
the shooter must have been on?

No.

No? No, I'm sorry, but I
just can't say for sure.

But... doesn't your report...

State that the gun must have been fired
from the third floor. Well, yes, it does.

But this morning, I went
back over my analysis,

and I realized I can't really be sure.

The bullet could have
come from the ground level,

so it's possible the
defendant didn't do it.

Mr. Baines, do you
have any more questions?

Um, I believe, Your Honor, I need
some more time to reevaluate my case.

I'll give you 24 hours. Adjourned.

Mr. Baines, I need to talk to you.

Not right now, please.

The police were in your office
about the two cases under appeal.

They said there's a problem with evidence
in both convictions. What kind of problem?

The DNA matches.

They don't match anymore.

They've already shut
down the forensics lab.

And there's something else.

Detective Dreyfus asked you
to meet him at this address.

Gabe!

Time for your bath!

We got a full confession from
the two scumbags who live here.

I don't know what happened to
that glove, but John Escher

was telling the truth. He's innocent.

It's all over the news.

So three of your
convictions fell apart today.

If the devil wants to take
my soul, that's one thing,

but it's not right to
undo all the good I've done.

People I convicted were
guilty. Some of them probably were.

What the hell does that mean?

And you made your deal.

Did you ask for the
ability to convict the guilty?

Or did you just ask for the ability to
win? Mr. Baines, I'm new at saving souls.

But I'm beginning to think that
the moment someone made their

deal is important in
figuring out their redemption.

I went to see Phil Gennaro today.

No.

Gennaro is a murderer. Don't
let him fool you with that

sob story about being
victimized by the other inmates.

He killed his cellmate in cold blood.

And you know what? You
don't know that any of

those people that I
convicted are innocent.

He's just trying to make me doubt
myself. But let me tell you something.

I'm not about to stand around and
see my work undone. I'll stop this.

How do you feel about the
allegations that you colluded

with the police in obtaining confessions?

And did you know that the Crown Council
is opening up an internal investigation?

That's a lie.

I know nothing about that.

And what about John Escher? How
do you feel about his release?

It's open.

I brought you some breakfast.

I'm feeling much better now.

I don't have to worry
anymore. I'm all cured, remember?

You get a second chance and
this is what you do with it?

Don't knock until you've tried it.

You think I haven't tried it?

You think I haven't tried
everything there is to kill pain?

Before heroin, there was opium,
smoked and eaten raw. Look at me.

Cocaine, absinthe, hashish, peyote,
cannabis, morphine, eskylchloroquine.

Look, I've drunk and eaten
and injected and snorted

things you can't imagine. Do you know why?

Because I found out too late
that you only get one chance.

Just one.

Yeah.

So, what's it like when
someone goes to hell?

Indescribable.

I'm under investigation
for tampering with evidence,

colluding with the
police, but I never did.

All the evidence was just
there. It was exactly what I needed.

I guess I should have
been suspicious of that.

I always just figured it
was proof that I was right.

Now all the real evidence is coming
to light. I convicted innocent people.

And now they'll go free.

So will a lot of the guilty ones.

They'll just cast doubt
on all of my connections.

It's gonna be worse than if
I'd never made the deal at all.

I made the same mistake.

I thought I could do good
with evil's help. Morgan.

I'm here. You shouldn't
stay. You'll get sick too.

The woman I loved was dying,
and I felt it was my fault.

God's punishment meant
for me, but visited on her.

Couldn't bear it.

Was this God's hand?

The God I loved and served all my life.

Why do you punish her for my sins?

Lord, speak to me.

I came to feel that God must be
cruel, or else there was no God at all.

Then, to hell with you! The moment I
rejected God, that's when he appeared.

And you asked him to make her will.

I asked him to give us the time
together that God had denied us.

And he did.

But only for ten years.

And then she died. That's
the bad luck from your deal.

One person.

It's not so simple for me. I won
115 cases in the last 10 years.

I figured if I was going to work on
redemption, I better start somewhere.

Mr. Escher, I'm glad you could meet me.

What do you want?

I just, I wanted to...

I wanted to tell you
that I read the confessions

of those two men who
committed those murders,

and you are completely cleared. Yeah?

What about the gloves?

I don't know if I have a
satisfactory explanation for that,

but I was clearly wrong, and I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

I spent six months in
jail waiting for a trial.

My girlfriend left me after the
first week. I don't have a job.

I don't have a place to live.

I can give you money. I
don't want your money.

I want you to suffer the way I did.

I want you to be humiliated in
front of your friends and your family.

And I want you to get in front of the TV
cameras that you love so much and eat dirt.

You stole my life.

How much are you going
to give me for that?

You make amends to people who
don't want it. There are others.

We can find them.

Mr. Baines!

You're a fibber.

Let him think that Katrina was the
only reason you got so mad at me,

the only reason you fought back.

He doesn't need to know.

Oh, I see. The confessional
only works in one direction.

Can you say hypocrite?

Baines is trying.

He faced that one man, offered him money.

Please.

He's not trying to make amends.

He's trying to save his own skin. He's
the same selfish poopy head he always was.

He's doing what he can.

You promised you'd let them
try to redeem themselves.

What if he says he's sorry?

So what if he lets the innocent ones
go and keeps the guilty ones in jail?

That doesn't cost him anything.

Now go away. We're busy.

I always loved the law.

Ever since I was a kid, I
wanted to be one of the good guys.

I guess I just read too many comic books.

I've got a few hours left.

We'll get out the old files.

You can call the ones we know
are innocent. Offer restitution.

I was thinking about
that little red button.

You don't push it, do I still go?

The devil seems to be doing
my collecting for me now.

But we can beat him.

Can we?

I make amends somehow.

You really think he'd
keep his promise with you?

You really think he'd let me go? Baines.

My God.

Thanks.

What did you say to Gennaro
when you talked to him last?

Nothing. I just asked for
his side of the story. Why?

He's taking a guard
hostage, and there's a standoff.

I was just trying to get
information that could help us.

No, you were trying to do my job
because I wouldn't do it myself.

I've got to go to the prison.

There's no guarantee that
helping Janara was your redemption.

I know.

Jerry Slade.

Oh, hi, Blair.

Prison?

When?

No, no, I can't.

Yeah, okay.

Hey, Rachel, it's me.

Can you get Gabe again tonight?

Thanks.

Oh, okay.

Mom loved you best.

Now can you get him?

All right, thanks.

And I need Mr. Pym to
accompany me. He's acting

as my aide in
reevaluating Mr. De Niro's case.

Mr. Bayes, in case you
haven't heard, we're in lockdown.

Just about every man we've
got is in the cell block.

No civilians are allowed in there
until we get this situation resolved.

No, but he's got a gun and a hostage.

How exactly do you
expect the situation to be

resolved? Well, we'll negotiate, I guess.

Until what? He gives up?
Until we get a clear shot.

You call the warden, I have to talk
to Jadero, and I want Mr. Pym with me.

Warden hasn't seen anyone right now.

But you can leave a name and number,

and I'm sure he'll get
back to you as soon as...

I didn't like his attitude,
and I think he's about my size.

Sarah Maharaj bringing
you an update on a crisis

at the Vancouver Correctional Center.

About an hour ago, an inmate named Phil
Gennaro took a guard hostage at gunpoint.

Now, City Pulse has learned
that Bill Gennaro's 10-year-old

conviction is one of several that could

be affected by recent
explosive allegations of evidence

tampering by Crown Counsel Carter Baines,

but it is still unknown
whether Gennaro's act is related

to those allegations or what
demands he's made. Carter.

So they called me all the way
over from Lakeside to help out.

What a drive. Anyway, the warden
asked me to personally escort Mr.

Baines into the lockdown area so
we can help with negotiations.

Nobody told me about it.

Yeah, things are pretty screwed up right
now, but this is direct from the mayor.

You can call him if you need to.

All right, just watch yourself in there.

I don't know.

Jerry Slate, Vancouver Star.

You've heard of it, right?

It's a newspaper.

Look, if I flash you, can I get in?

Hold it! Stay back!

Who the hell are you? Carter
Baines, prosecuting attorney

for the Gennaro case.
I'm here to negotiate.

Mr. Baines, I don't know how the hell
you got in here, but Gennaro's a killer,

and there's nothing in particular I
feel like offering him in a negotiation.

I was planning to start by offering
myself in exchange for the garden.

Is there somebody who
could authorize me to get in?

Excuse me, I'm Helen
Baines. I need to get inside.

Carter Baines' wife?

Sorry, lady, your husband got in
on official business. No civilians.

Look, I need to get him out of there.

Look, something is going on, and
I'm afraid he's going to get hurt.

Look, lady.

Listen, kid. If something happens to
Baines before his wife is allowed to see him,

my newspaper will put you on the front
page as the one who kept them apart.

Now that's not the kind of publicity
the correctional system needs, right?

Maybe you could go in
and talk to my supervisor.

He's the one manning the metal detector.

Phil Gennaro?

This is Carter Baines.
I want to talk to you.

Go away! I don't want to talk to you!

Look, Phil, I'm going to step into
the corridor, all right? I'm unarmed.

Here I come.

Here I am.

Put the gun down and surrender. Come
on, everything's gonna be all right.

Look, you don't have to do this. Look, I
talked to the police on the way over here.

They're gonna reopen your case, and
if you're innocent, you'll go free.

I killed that prisoner.

They're gonna never let me out.

So if I'm gonna die in
here, I may as well die now.

Is that what you want?

You want them to kill you?

Okay, then take me with you.
I'm the one who got you in here.

Let him go.

Come on, come on, come on.
Hurry it up. It's urgent that Mrs.

Baines and I get in there.

Come on.

Unless you're Carter Bain's
other wife, you stay here.

Come on, Phil, let him go.

You can go.

Okay, our man is clear.

All I gotta deal with is a civilian.

Moving into position. Check.

Just go.

Let them kill me.

We can't.

Why not?

It wouldn't be right.

What's going on?

Goddamn it, can't they
keep anybody out of here?

Carter Baines is my husband. Where is he?

Oh, my God.

Don't worry.

As long as your husband stands
still, this will all be over in a minute.

We have a sniper in the ventilator shafts.

In position.

Take your shot.

It's all right.

You've got the gun. Get up, Nero.

What the hell were you thinking?

Ellen.

Hold on, baby. Please hold on,
okay? They've got a doctor coming.

Hold on, baby. It's all right.

It's all right. Everything's all right.

Justice.

No.

Authorities have confirmed
that Crown Counsel Carter Baines

lost his life during an attempt

to negotiate a peaceful
end to the hostage crisis

at the Vancouver Correctional Center.

A source inside the
Crown Counsel's office says

the original conviction of Bill Gennaro,

who took the hostage, It makes sense.

Coming up tonight, bug bites
have never been this exciting,

especially radioactive bug bites. Tobey
Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. It's Spider-Man,

up next on City. Spider-Man.
