Gonna rain like a bastard tonight.
Need it. Wash all the shit away. A sprinkle at most.
What? You think the game's gonna get rained out?
Won't go nine, that's for sure.
What are you all of a sudden, an amateur meteorologist?
It's about time. Cat's shaking and baking, man. I think he might have made me. He's headed for the metro. If I hustle, I can get up on him.
Should I sit on his car in case he circles back? What if he doesn't?
We got to take him tonight.
See how it plays out. Right behind you. What's wrong with you, man?
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
[In interrogation room, to Raynard] Sign here. So... let's start off with an easy one, hmm? Who's the dead guy in the van?
I don't know. I... I never saw him before.
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
You mean before you killed him.
I didn't kill him. Somebody must have put him there.
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
So you were just driving around, dead guy in the back of the van... you didn't know?
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
Hmm. You live in Hollywood.
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
Where were you going?
Echo Park isn't anywhere close to where you live.
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
No. I drive around and... and hand out fliers for my business in mailboxes.
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
You weren't going somewhere just to get rid of the body. Did you have sеx with him?
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
So we're not gonna find your DNA all up in his... coozy.
No. Jesus. No. W- why would you think that?
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
Why would we think that? I don't know. This thing. What is this used for? Huh. That looks to me like you would flip that over a guy's head and choke him out. Ahh! What do you think?
I've never seen that before.
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
Really? That's funny, because we just found that in your van, along with a stun gun.
So, how would you do it? The guy would fasten his seat belt. Then you'd throw that over his head. He gets a little froggy, starts kicking and screaming. :Detective II Johnson ("Barrel": Then you'd taze him. Is that how it went?
I don't do that. I... I don't do any of that.
IJDetective II Johnson ("Barrel"
Mr. Waits, we're gonna charge you with murder. So if you have anything to say that'll help clear this up, now is the time to tell us.
KMs. Kell
No, Your Honor. That's me. My name is Ms. Kell. I'm with the public defender's office, and I'll be representing you in this proceeding. I want to plead not guilty. Well, you don't enter a plea tonight. Uh, the prosecutor will read the charges against you, and the judge will ask you if you understand those charges. You say "yes," and that's it.
And what about bail? I've got a van, a small business, and some savings.
KMs. Kell
Your van was impounded as evidence, and you're charged with murder, Mr. Waits. A bail will be set at a minimum of $1 million. A bond's gonna cost you 10% of said bail, non-refundable. If you had that kind of money, I wouldn't be here.
This is unfair. I have to get out. I got a business. There are people I take care of.
I can't stay here. You understand? Do your fսcking job. I got things to do.
KMs. Kell
Don't we all? You better get yourself under control when the judge calls your case.
GDr. Golliher
I've consulted on cases all over the world... Bosnia, Kosovo... World Trade Center. This is a case... Maybe this boy was better off leaving this world for a better one.
Do you believe there's a better world than this one?
When you were picking through the bones and burnt flesh at the World Trade Center, that belief work for you then?
GDr. Golliher
As a matter of fact, it did. In many ways, my faith became stronger. It helped me deal with all of that. [Sighs] There must be a better place somewhere. What else could make sense of this child's torment?
I'm a vet, Doc. Re-upped after 9/11. A lot of cops did. I was with Special Forces, Afghanistan. We'd go down in these tunnels in these caves. Pitch-black. You turned your head lamp off, and there was this... glow. "Lost Light" we called it. It was like it was trapped down there with the rest of us. So I don't believe there's a better world than this one. I think this is the only one we got, and it's full of lost light.
GDr. Golliher
It must be very hard to be you... and do what you do... without faith.
Someone broke nearly every bone in that little boy's body and then killed him. I can't let that go.
