0:01:13 > 0:01:16CHILDREN LAUGH AND SHOUT
0:01:30 > 0:01:35She's such an energetic child, such a bright one. She's really a joy.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38But recently...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40she's not responded to her teachers,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43she's not responded to her friends.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Now she takes a doll to school every day. Won't let it out of her sight.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Got any ideas on reasons for this?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Well, just today,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57she made a drawing in class - sexually graphic.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Mrs Skinner, one of her teachers, asked her who was in the picture,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06and she said it was the man who hurt her.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Then she began to cry.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Seamus, no running in the halls, please, young man. ..OK?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Sorry.- I'm used to it.- Have you notified the parents?- Parent.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I called him after you. He's on his way now.
0:02:22 > 0:02:29- Well, when he gets here, we'll want him to take Carrie for a legal medical examination.- There she is.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Your department.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Seven, right? - Yes. Here.- Thank you.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Hello.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Hiya.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51What's your name?
0:02:51 > 0:02:56I'm Det Lacey. This is, er, Det Cagney. She's my partner.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01You don't believe me? I've got my badge. See? That's me right there.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05We need to talk to you about the man that hurt you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I have to tell you the truth. I already know your name.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16It's Carrie Mitchell, am I right? ..Mr Stone told me that.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19That's a dear little dolly you got.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25Mr Stone said you like to keep her with you now. Right? Kind of close?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28So, Carrie... Can I call you Carrie?
0:03:29 > 0:03:36Thank you. So I have to ask you about the man that hurt you or my partner will pester me.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Before we start, I want you to know something.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Whatever you want to tell me, no matter what, I'll believe you,
0:03:44 > 0:03:49and if the person who hurt you said it was a secret, it's OK to tell me,
0:03:49 > 0:03:54because I'm a police officer. You understand that?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56OK. Can I have my badge back?
0:03:56 > 0:04:01I'll put this here, and we'll start. All right?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05OK. Who hurt you, honey?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12(My friend Neil.)
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Neil? Who's Neil?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21(My baby-sitter.)
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Your baby-sitter?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Can you tell us how your baby-sitter hurt you?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41OK. How about if you show me on your dolly where the man hurt you?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Carrie?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54How about a picture?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Can you draw us a picture?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Attagirl.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Who else do you sit for, Neil? - Why?- Just...wondered.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22You're gonna talk to all of them and tell them I'm a pervert!
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- We won't say anything unnecessary, but we must investigate!- But I...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- But you what? ..But you what?! - This is a nightmare.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Could you give us their names and addresses?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I've only been baby-sitting a month!
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Carrie is the first child I've sat for more than once! The others...
0:05:44 > 0:05:50You'll just have to get their names and addresses from the baby-sitting service!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Look... I wanna help you in any way I can.
0:05:53 > 0:06:00But I have a mid-term to go to, and I'd like to get dressed. Is there anything more I can do?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03When could you talk to us again?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Mmm! ..Mmm.
0:06:05 > 0:06:12- Didn't I just say goodbye to you? - Yeah, I left my wallet and locked my keys in the car.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- Wait, I'll look for the extra set. - No, that's OK. I'll get a hanger.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Did anyone ever say you look gorgeous when you're undercover?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Wanna help Daddy find his keys?
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- ON RADIO: 'Did you handle that job?' - Looks like we got a live one here.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Police! Get back from the car! - Hey...!- He's got a gun!
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- Leave him alone! Stop! - Don't move!- Don't hurt him!
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Don't hurt him! Stop it! Leave him alone!
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- Shut up, now! Shut up! - I'm a COP...dammit!
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Her name is Roxanne. Where's he taking her? Renoir's - 43rd Street.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18He's going all-out, especially for a first date.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Bet it'll cost him for the wine and the tip.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Coleman, how do you know all this stuff anyway?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Hey! Does Macy's tell Gimbles?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37What happened to you? Marital spat, huh?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I hit back! I don't let a girl away with it cos she's a woman...
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Back off, Victor! OK?!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Hey, no skin off my nose.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Well, that was very good, Victor(!)
0:07:52 > 0:07:55That's quite a bruise. What happened?
0:07:55 > 0:08:00- I cut myself shaving, all right? - All right! No problem.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Marcus, are you all right?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I don't want anything fancy. Just a haircut.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Oh, yeah, and, er... Maybe a... (A manicure.)
0:08:22 > 0:08:28OK, good. Yeah. ..Tell Nick that I will make it worth his while, yeah.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Right, OK. Thanks.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36I remember going to a barber's shop, paying my six bits, and that was it!
0:08:36 > 0:08:43Now, you gotta make an appointment with a hairstylist at a salon, and then they stiff you for 25.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48The only difference is that in the old days the haircuts lasted longer.
0:08:48 > 0:08:55- I don't think you need a haircut. - Harvey waits till it's down over his ears.- Well, he's a married man.
0:08:55 > 0:09:01He doesn't have to worry about his appearance. So... What do you need?
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- To subpoena business records.- Case? - The little girl - sex abuse case.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- One of her own family? - No, the victim's baby-sitter.
0:09:10 > 0:09:18- No priors, and the service won't cooperate.- Figures. They're afraid of lawsuits and bad publicity.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- I'll tell Legal it's a priority. - Thank you.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- Mary Beth.- Yes?- The doctor called. Carrie didn't have her examination.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Got the father's business card? We'll find out what happened.
0:09:44 > 0:09:51- "Mitchell, McDonald and Maine - attorneys-at-law."- He was nice for a lawyer.- For a lawyer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Excuse me. There's someone here to see you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Yes. Jeremy Mitchell, please.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01..Thank you. I can see he's not there.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11So how's your dolly feeling? I thought you were gonna take her with you to the doctor?
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- Mr Mitchell?- No, thank you. We won't be staying that long.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Carrie, honey?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Are you going to tell the officers what you told Daddy?
0:10:29 > 0:10:34It's all right, honey. No-one's gonna get mad at you, all right?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Hey! Hey, didn't we make a deal this morning?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43You could say anything to us. It's OK.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- I made it up.- What? I'm sorry.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52She imagined it. I guess it's a phase she's going through.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58I'm just sorry the school didn't call me before bringing you into it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:04I could've saved you time, and I apologise for the inconvenience.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- Oh, hey, Carrie! What are you crying for?- It's OK, baby.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- It's OK. It's OK. Let's go home. - Mr Mitchell, please wait.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20I'm, er...gonna take Carrie home. This has been very hard on her.
0:11:20 > 0:11:27She has a school vacation in about ten days, and her grandparents are going to take her for a few weeks.
0:11:27 > 0:11:34Mr Mitchell, we've filed a 61 and notified the sex crime squad, so this will probably continue.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40- No, it won't. You could kill it. - We'll have to tell our supervisor.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46- You do that. It's fine. Say it's a mistake and it's over. - It's not that easy now.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53You do it...or I do it. SHE SOBS
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Thank you, detectives. (Let's go, sweetie.)
0:12:16 > 0:12:18What is that?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21It's a yogi thing.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- La Guardia?- Yeah, he said if I did 50 of these, it's as good as a whole night's sleep.- Hmm.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35La Guardia told Coleman to take valerian root to lose weight. You check the gut on him lately?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You didn't sleep last night either?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44About ten minutes before the alarm went off.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- What number are you on?- Well, you see, I don't know! You mixed me up!
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I kept seeing this scene in my head last night.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Neil Traeger offers us coffee, and he's in a state of shock, I guess.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02A child molester running around and we can't even touch him.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Let me ask you something. What if he isn't?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- What if he isn't what? - What if he isn't guilty?
0:13:11 > 0:13:19Well, the girl's mother just died! Maybe none of this is true! I had a wild imagination at that age!
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Not about stuff like that! You heard her talk about stuff
0:13:23 > 0:13:28nobody her age would know about unless it happened. I believe her.
0:13:29 > 0:13:36- Mary Beth, she said that she lied. - Chris, I know as sure as I'm standing here now. Kids don't lie.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Not about this.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53- See her? I don't see her. - Maybe her father kept her home.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- She's gotta be out here. - Wait. There she is.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- Carrie?- Hey! How you doing? We were looking all over for you.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I'll tell you, I was worried about you.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I'm not supposed to talk to people I don't know.
0:14:23 > 0:14:30That's a good rule, Carrie, but you know us, right? Come on, talk to us a minute.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Last time I saw you, you were crying. Are you OK?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, that's the important part.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Looking forward to going to your grandma's? That'll be fun.
0:14:43 > 0:14:50Carrie, I told my partner that you're a straight arrow, so can I ask you something?
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Remember yesterday? We talked in the nurse's office,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and you told me about your baby-sitter.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Then, later, I came with your father to the squad room, right?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Did you make up that story?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Did you?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26What did I tell you? Straight arrow.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I wondered who'd encourage their child to lie.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Oh, come on, Det Lacey. This is not the debating team.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45I have discussed this with Carrie's child psychologist, and she thinks
0:15:45 > 0:15:52- Carrie should NOT be subjected to further unpleasantness.- You're not DENYING you encouraged her to lie.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58- Spare me your cross-examination. - We need her testimony in court.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- Get another child to do your dirty work.- We don't have another witness.
0:16:03 > 0:16:10- Testifying in court is not dirty work. It's a civic responsibility! - I know what it is, Detective!
0:16:10 > 0:16:14King Of The Cross-Examination! That's what they call me!
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Although, in sex cases, it's not even difficult! My last rape case?
0:16:19 > 0:16:24I had the victim in tears. Barely knew her own name! I won!
0:16:24 > 0:16:29A month later, my client was arrested again - another rape!
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Now, last week, I was in the bank. Ran into the victim.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37You know, I didn't even know who she was.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40But she knew me.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43She remembered me!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48She SPAT in my face.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Now, thank you, Detectives.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Carrie declines to exercise her civic responsibility.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02This is first degree sex abuse.
0:17:02 > 0:17:08Telling her to lie is obstructing justice, tampering with a witness...
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Take me before the grand jury, and I'll take out a false arrest suit
0:17:13 > 0:17:17making me the richest man in New York City.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- We'll have you declared an unfit parent.- Another brilliant idea(!)
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Arrest me, put Carrie in a foster home...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30They all lived happily ever after(!)
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Now, that is the CLASSIC fabled ending.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Petrie?- Yes, sir? - You want me to initial this?
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- Yes, sir.- Why? - It's all in the report, Lieutenant.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I read it. You're alleging improper conduct -
0:17:50 > 0:17:55the use of unnecessary force - against Brundage and Balough.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- That's correct. - I still don't know why.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Petrie? Suppose it was you on armed patrol, hmm?
0:18:03 > 0:18:10You see a guy in civilian clothes trying to break into an automobile. He's breaking in with a coat hanger.
0:18:10 > 0:18:17You go to investigate. You don't see a shield, but you do see a gun under his jacket. What do you do?
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- I don't slam him against the car. - What do you...?- I don't do that!
0:18:22 > 0:18:30Well, I'll tell what I would do! As soon as I see that piece... I don't leave ANY margin for error!
0:18:30 > 0:18:35That's what I'd do! They had no way of knowing you were an officer...
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- I don't think that's the point! - What is the point?!- The point...!
0:18:39 > 0:18:47What they saw was a black man, shabbily dressed, in a middle-class, predominantly white neighbourhood.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- If I were white, they would've asked if I needed a locksmith! - You believe that?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Yes.
0:18:56 > 0:19:03You know something? In all my years, I've never once filed a civilian complaint form from another officer.
0:19:03 > 0:19:10No matter what. You know why? ..Cos it can lead to loss of rank, loss of pension, benefits,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14and maybe even dismissal. You realise that?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I'll tell you what I'll do.
0:19:19 > 0:19:26I'm gonna put this on my desk for a couple of days. In the meantime, you think about it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:33After that, if you still want me to initial it, I'll initial it and send it to the review board.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Thank you, Lieutenant.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Can we do it?- I can't file. You have an uncooperative witness.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46It's her father! He's thinks it's better for the little girl.
0:19:46 > 0:19:54As opposed to us, who want to throw her into an adversarial courtroom so a defence lawyer can tear her apart.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- The fault of the system is not on our heads, but on yours!- Thanks(!)
0:19:59 > 0:20:05We just want him off the streets! Now, can we subpoena Carrie without her father's help or not?
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Do you know how hard it is to win a case with a child's testimony?
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Make that a terrified, traumatised child in a threatening courtroom,
0:20:15 > 0:20:21with a squeaky-clean defendant and a father who told her to lie?! Uh-uh! I'll pass.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- You haven't answered me! - We know he's guilty!
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- 90 cents gets me on the subway(!) - Terrific attitude(!)
0:20:28 > 0:20:35I don't understand this argument! I want this guy as badly as you do! I just need witnesses to do it!
0:20:35 > 0:20:43- We're trying to track down victims! - Get me three! Those children may still not equal one adult to a jury!
0:20:43 > 0:20:47SHE SIGHS Oh, but hey. Who says life would be easy?
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- You want lunch? I'm starved. - Who can eat?- I'll buy.- Sure.
0:20:52 > 0:21:00- Let's canvass where Traeger lives. Maybe he approached a local kid. - They probably won't admit anything.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05So we badger the Lieutenant for the subpoena to see where he baby-sat.
0:21:05 > 0:21:12- The Lieutenant wants you.- Thank you. - Hurry up! He's late for Roxanne! - Roxanne?- His blind date - very hot.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Good. I'm glad you got back before I left. I've got something for you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:28- Is it the subpoena, sir? - Not yet. The baby-sitting service is fighting that.- On what grounds?!
0:21:28 > 0:21:33- They're arguing it's irrelevant. - Irrelevant?! The man works there!
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I know that, but you must see it from their side.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41Whether it's true or not, once it's in the newspapers, they're finished!
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Besides, they, er... already fired Traeger.
0:21:45 > 0:21:52- That's good(!) Weeding out the paedophiles!- This just arrived. - What is it?- A restraining order.
0:21:52 > 0:21:59- Jeremy Mitchell is forbidding you approaching him or his daughter. - He can't! This is an investigation!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02He can and did - police harassment.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08Great(!) We can't get a subpoena, the one witness we DO know we're not allowed to talk to,
0:22:08 > 0:22:14- and a child molester is free in a city with two million kids! - We'll do what we can.
0:22:14 > 0:22:20- I'll check on the subpoena. Anything else?- No, sir. - Thank you.- Er, by the way, er...
0:22:20 > 0:22:26- How do I look?- With due respect, we've got this jerk we can't touch
0:22:26 > 0:22:31and your concern about how you look on a date is irrelevant to me! Sir.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Don't you get sarcastic with me, Lacey.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43- You think I don't care about that pervert on the streets?!- I'm sorry.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48How do you know about my date anyway? ..Ah, never mind!
0:22:50 > 0:22:54You listen to me, the both of youse. I've been at this longer than you.
0:22:56 > 0:23:04And if I let every case that backed me into a corner eat at me, I'd have been eaten alive long ago.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09I let myself get riled up about cases I can do something about.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I suggest the same for you two.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16- Yes, sir.- You'll live a lot longer. - You look very nice, Lieutenant.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Yes, sir. You look very nice.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26You look real nice, Lieutenant.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29REAL nice!
0:23:40 > 0:23:45I tried something different. I had Michael read himself to sleep.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49One of those, what, ES or SE Hinton books.
0:23:49 > 0:23:55Do you believe that stuff?! Gangs, drugs, fights and all that! This is for ten-year-olds?
0:23:56 > 0:24:02When you grew up on Grantland Rice and Red Smith, it's a shock! Huh?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I guess it's a different world out there.
0:24:05 > 0:24:12He's doing OK with the reading. I mean, he's no Laurence Olivier, but he's getting better.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15You wanna watch some TV?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- No.- You wanna talk?
0:24:21 > 0:24:28- No.- Are you mad at me...? - No. I'm going for a walk, OK. - That's OK. That's TERRIFIC!
0:24:28 > 0:24:34- Why don't you just go for a walk?! - It's not about you, OK. - I know it's not about ME!
0:24:34 > 0:24:41- You're so involved in other people's troubles, you have no time for your family!- What do you want from me?!
0:24:41 > 0:24:45A little less, if you talked to me! < TELEVISION BLARES
0:24:45 > 0:24:48< QUICK FOOTSTEPS
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Could you go inside, please?!
0:24:53 > 0:25:01Talk? OK, talk! Everybody wants this lousy case to go away! For the baby-sitting people, it's business.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07And for this father...! I'm furious with this father, Harv! I don't know! It's...!
0:25:07 > 0:25:12This little girl is like, um... He face is like, er...
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Porcelain, you know, like... And somebody messed with her, Harvey.
0:25:17 > 0:25:24And I... This fa...! The father brings her downtown and makes her look like the liar.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28He doesn't care! He won't let her testify or talk to me,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32and if that happened to Harv Jr or Michael...
0:25:32 > 0:25:36..I would not SLEEP until I got the guy that did it!
0:25:38 > 0:25:43- I talked. Got nothing to say? - I don't think you wanna hear it.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48- You disagree with me? - No, no. I just see his point.
0:25:48 > 0:25:55You said it yourself - this girl has been through a lot, and if he thinks testifying would hurt her more...
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Let him do it to another kid...! - That is not what I am saying!
0:25:59 > 0:26:05- I am saying that this man loves his kid like I love mine! - Don't you dare say that!
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I love my kids and you more than anything!
0:26:08 > 0:26:15That is why you haven't spent 15 minutes this week with Michael or Harv Jr. You sit there all night!
0:26:15 > 0:26:22- You hardly talk to me, because your job gets all your attention! - My job pays half the bills!
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- So it deserves all your attention?! - I'm gonna take a walk!
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Why don't you walk down the hall with me instead?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I'm going for a walk on my own.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'll be here.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13The lieutenant was in very early. So? He wasn't out late last night.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18You saying he struck out? Maybe not. Maybe he didn't go home.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Further news bulletins as they break(!)
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You again?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Cagney?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Yes, Lieutenant?- Close the door.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- Sit down.- Thank you.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44So, er... How you doing?
0:27:44 > 0:27:49Well, it's kind of frustrating, all the dead ends on this case.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54No, I'm not talking about your case. How YOU doing?
0:27:54 > 0:28:02- You, your life. You know, life is more than just the work you do, don't you think?- Oh, yeah, sure.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06It's just that the work sometimes is easier.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Yeah, I know what you mean.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Listen, Cagney, er... You're a woman, right?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I'm working on it, Lieutenant(!)
0:28:21 > 0:28:26I mean, er... You're out there. You date. OK? Huh?
0:28:26 > 0:28:31And... It's a certain, er... LANGUAGE that you speak.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36- I, er... I don't get it sometimes, you know.- I beg your pardon?
0:28:36 > 0:28:43Well, er, let's say, for example, you're going on a date with a guy for the very first time. Right?
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- Let's say that you had a good time. What do you say to him?- Say to him?
0:28:51 > 0:28:58- Yeah, do you tell him you had a good time?- Well, if I had a good time, I'd...tell him I had a good time.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Uh-huh. OK, so what would you say if you DIDN'T have a good time?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06That one's a little tricky, Lieutenant.
0:29:06 > 0:29:12Actually, sometimes you say you had a good time, even if you didn't.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Yeah, sure. That's right. Let the guy off easy, huh?!
0:29:16 > 0:29:21Don't hurt his feelings. OK, thanks. You got work to do?
0:29:21 > 0:29:28- Wait a second. The chances are just as good that she had a good time. - Yeah? So why didn't she say so?
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- I thought she did. - TELEPHONE RINGS
0:29:33 > 0:29:38Yeah, Samuels? ..OK, thanks. They'll be down to pick it up.
0:29:38 > 0:29:44- Your subpoena cleared. You can pick it up this morning. - Oh, thank you, Lieutenant.
0:29:47 > 0:29:54Oh. Lieutenant, why don't you call her and ask her out again? See what happens.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59- What if she says no?- Then you'll know if she had a good time or not.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Wanna check him out? - It's up to you.- ..Hey!
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- Det Petrie? - Can we have word with you?
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- I'm in a hurry.- Come on. This'll just take a minute.
0:30:19 > 0:30:26- Maybe we can go someplace private. - Anything you can say to me, you can say in front of my partner.- OK.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30We came here to ask you to reconsider filing charges.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37We're sorry for what happened. It was an honest mistake.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42I got 11 years! You know what'll happen if this goes in my file?
0:30:42 > 0:30:49- Why didn't you think of that before you jumped me?- Hey! We didn't see a shield! We just saw your piece!
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- Victor, we should go. - ..Uh-huh!- Hey!
0:30:56 > 0:31:00You heard the man. ..Get lost.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Let's go.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10They stare at me, babe.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14They think I'm being some sort of hard-case.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20Angry black man with a chip on his shoulder. That's what they think.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Are you?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31You saw what they did to me.
0:31:34 > 0:31:41I gotta tell you, Marcus. If you ever have to make a judgement call like that - a man with a gun...
0:31:42 > 0:31:47I don't care about colour. I want you to do EXACTLY the same thing!
0:31:49 > 0:31:55I can't believe... I can't believe you're saying that I should roust people.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58I'm not saying roust people.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02But if you DO make an error, I hope it's on the side of caution.
0:32:02 > 0:32:09I'd rather you faced a brutality charge than be the grieving widow at some inspector's funeral.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16This may shock you, husband of mine...
0:32:18 > 0:32:20..but I love you...
0:32:21 > 0:32:26..more than I love some abstract concept of civil liberty.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Hey.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44What's wrong?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49SHE SIGHS Talk to me.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I'm your wife!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- I let you down.- What?!
0:32:59 > 0:33:03They beat me up right in front of you and Lauren.
0:33:03 > 0:33:09- Oh, honey, it's OK... - No, it's not OK! Because I couldn't protect you.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Marcus, I didn't need protection!
0:33:12 > 0:33:16I felt terrible, because I couldn't protect YOU!
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Claudia?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I never felt like that before.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29I felt helpless. All I could think of was that you were watching,
0:33:29 > 0:33:33and...I couldn't do anything about it.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Oh, baby.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Do you know what that feels like for a man?
0:33:45 > 0:33:50I don't know what it feels like. But I'll tell you what I do know.
0:33:50 > 0:33:57I know that if we need you, you'll be there for me and Lauren, and we'll be there for you.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02- And that's all that matters. - No, babe. You see...- Yes!
0:34:02 > 0:34:06That's all that counts. You don't have to be a superman.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Just Marcus Petrie.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20So, one family's moved,
0:34:20 > 0:34:26one family - the kid's fine, one family doesn't talk to cops, but the kid seemed OK.
0:34:26 > 0:34:33- If there's nothing wrong with this Hayes child...- I'm not giving up. - Maybe we'll get lucky this time.
0:34:35 > 0:34:42- Oh, hell! I did not mean... - I know! It just doesn't matter what we do - someone always gets hurt.
0:34:42 > 0:34:49- Stop it! People getting hurt is NOT our fault and I'm not gonna let you do this to yourself this time!- OK.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:35:03 > 0:35:09- Hello?- Miss Hayes?- Yes. - We're conducting an investigation. It concerns your son Michael.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- Can we talk to you for a few minutes?- OK.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28I don't get it! You asked us for a witness! We got one!
0:35:28 > 0:35:35- A three-year-old on the witness stand?!- OK, you explained it! We know it won't be easy!- Hey!
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- I would settle for not easy! This is IMPOSSIBLE!- He's guilty!
0:35:40 > 0:35:47I can't just use the uncorroborated testimony of a three-year-old! I have to qualify him as a witness.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51I have to prove he understands the meaning of the oath
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- and knows the difference between lies and truth...- I know!- You wait!
0:35:56 > 0:36:00You'll be a three-year-old. ..I'm a lucky defence lawyer here!
0:36:00 > 0:36:05Michael? Did you see Dumbo? ..Did you see an elephant fly?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- Do you believe in the tooth fairy? Santa Claus?!- I got the picture.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- No jury will convict any adult on the word of...!- We got the picture!
0:36:16 > 0:36:23You realise we will get him someday, and we don't have to do much, cos molesters keep on molesting!
0:36:23 > 0:36:29- Cos we keep letting 'em do it! - That's right! Until we get enough credible witnesses!
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Mary Beth? ..You see? You've upset my partner.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44Mary Beth, you wanna slow down a minute?! Where are you going?!
0:36:44 > 0:36:51It's bad enough having a sicko and we don't know him and we worry about him doing it again, but...!
0:36:51 > 0:36:58I know it's Traeger, and I won't sit around and wait for him to rob somebody else's innocence!
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- Are you going to Carrie's father? - Yes. Take the car, I'll get a cab.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- It was a restraining order! - This out of Christine Cagney?
0:37:07 > 0:37:13- You want a ride?- No, I'll go. There's no reason for both of us to defy the court order.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- What's the worst that could happen?- Jail.- I've been there!
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- When? - When I was 13, I took ice cream...
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Petrie?- Yes, sir?
0:37:23 > 0:37:30- I can't find that civilian complaint form anywhere on my desk. - I tore it up.- You won't file?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- No, sir.- Can I ask you why?
0:37:32 > 0:37:39- Well... With all due respect, Lieutenant, it's none of your business.- OK.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41You're right. It's not.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48You know, Petrie... My grandfather tells a story about the old country.
0:37:48 > 0:37:55- He and my grandmother were between Minsk and...- Is this the one about the Cossack?- I told you that one?
0:37:55 > 0:38:01- With the helmet filled with sour cream?- Yes, sir. A very nice story.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- So you'll give it some thought? - Right.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Lieutenant? Yeah? Telephone call on three.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12It's a lady named Roxanne. EVERYONE WOLF WHISTLES
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Hey! What is it with you guys, huh?!
0:38:16 > 0:38:22You never seen a guy get a phone call before?! HE MUMBLES TO HIMSELF
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Hello, Roxanne? ..How are you?
0:38:32 > 0:38:39In the back of the cab? ..Oh, well, they turn everything in at the end of their shift, so all you do is...
0:38:39 > 0:38:45I tell you what, I'll call and see if they've got it, OK? ..No, no! It's OK.
0:38:45 > 0:38:51Saturday? ..Yeah, I'm free. ..I love pot roast!
0:38:51 > 0:38:57- I don't know what to do to get through to you people! - We want to talk to you, sir.
0:38:57 > 0:39:03Have you been on the wrong side of the bars?! I hear it's fascinating! And I am NOT bluffing!
0:39:03 > 0:39:10I know you're not, sir. I know you could put us in jail, and I wouldn't be angry at you.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Your hand, please. - Will you give me two minutes?
0:39:13 > 0:39:17Then you can get the restraining order enforced. OK?
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- OK, OK, OK! - I understand why you're doing this, cos I've got kids myself.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25You're doing your best for Carrie.
0:39:25 > 0:39:31You want to let nothing hurt her. But life isn't like that, sir.
0:39:31 > 0:39:37- Sometimes... No matter what we do or wish, our kids get hurt anyways. - Is there a point to this story?
0:39:37 > 0:39:46- If so, would you please get to it? - Neil Traeger is a filthy predator who should be removed from society.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50However, in between his mid-terms, he's preying on small children.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Children just as young, sweet and innocent as Carrie!
0:39:54 > 0:40:01It's in your power to prevent this! If you don't, you are responsible for every other child he hurts!
0:40:01 > 0:40:06- We already know of another child, sir.- Why can't that child testify?
0:40:06 > 0:40:11No, sir. They want to help us, but the DA says the child is too young.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16His name is Michael.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18He's three years old.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27He's three?!
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Yes, sir.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37We'll be ready to start in a few minutes. ..You all ready, Carrie?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Mary Beth.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- Hello, Jeremy. - What the hell are you doing here?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54I represent Neil. ..Neil, you know Jeremy Mitchell.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Hi, Carrie.
0:40:58 > 0:41:04Oh, hey! Knock it off! Stop it! I said stop it! Knock it off! Stop it!
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Assault in front of witnesses?! Get him out of here!
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Mr Zaybe, you shouldn't be here.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17This is a public hallway, and we're not breaking any laws.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- You're intimidating a witness! - Are we?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Neil, let's sit down over here.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Miss Gallegos?- Yes? - We're ready to start.- Thank you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34OK, Carrie. You just remember everything we said. You can do it.
0:41:39 > 0:41:45- No! - Carrie, are you afraid because Mr Traeger's here?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Carrie?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51He can't hurt you any more! He can't, honey.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Don't want to. - It's OK. Daddy'll take you home...
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Mr Mitchell! I am taking her home!
0:41:59 > 0:42:04I'll be back. ..Mr Mitchell? If you take her out, then he wins!
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Don't you get that? Could I talk to you?!
0:42:07 > 0:42:14- Could her father go in with her? - It'll make her self-conscious. - What about Mary Beth?
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Maybe.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22I'll see if the foreman will allow an investigating officer to assist me.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- Mr Mitchell, please wait! - We're going home!
0:42:33 > 0:42:39- That's a mistake! It's bad if she gives up now! - I don't care what you think!
0:42:39 > 0:42:45Let her get rid of it! Don't let her carry it around all her life! She needs to talk...!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49She doesn't have to talk to the grand jury!
0:42:49 > 0:42:54- She talks to me or to her therapist. - No, sir. It's not the same thing.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59This way, maybe she helps another small child and makes a difference!
0:43:02 > 0:43:07Carrie, sweetheart? Do you want to go into that courtroom or not?
0:43:07 > 0:43:11It's up to you, sweetie. Whatever you decide, it's OK.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15- I'm scared.- Oh, sweetie.
0:43:17 > 0:43:24I'll tell you the truth. I get scared every time I go to court. I bet your father does, too.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27I'll tell you what helped me not be scared.
0:43:27 > 0:43:33I imagine a friend sitting in front of me, and I talk to my friend,
0:43:33 > 0:43:39and I forget about the people in the room and talk to my friend. You could try that, maybe.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44I can't imagine a friend.
0:43:44 > 0:43:50Mr Mitchell! Mr Mitchell, Det Lacey can be present during the hearing.
0:43:50 > 0:43:55Carrie, understand that? ..You don't have to imagine a friend,
0:43:55 > 0:43:59because you could talk to me. Can you talk to me?
0:43:59 > 0:44:03Yes. It's your choice, sweetheart.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07But you don't have to.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Hey, Carrie? ..Hey, honey. Give me your hand.
0:44:29 > 0:44:34Now, listen. You hang onto my hand and keep looking at me, all right?
0:44:36 > 0:44:40It'll soon be all right, sweetie. Give me a kiss.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46Good luck.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53OK?
