Original subtitles

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.
