Lourdes was raped. Her entire being - her past, her present and, most importantly, her future - negated.
That doesn't entitle her to seek revenge.
But it does entitle her to reclaim what was once hers. And if revenge is part of that, then... then so be it.
You don't believe that.
I do believe the wrong person is on trial.
Nice bar. You know, where I'm from, we only have two types of vodka: cheap and cheaper. I'm here for a funeral. My brother.
I'm sorry.
I loved Jorge. As much as you love your sister, I'm sure. Pamela, if I'm not mistaken.
[wary] You do realize I'm an Assistant District Attorney?
That's why we're talking, Mr. Stone. [he downs his drink and grimaces] Mm. And that's why you're gonna drop this case. Lourdes will get deported, and then... our justice system will take over.
I'm not a bad person. You don't have any idea. I went to college. I have a skill. But, 10 years ago, who's gonna hire me? Huh? Sure, I could wash dishes, mow lawns. But I'm a damn good programmer, and 10 years ago, no one gave a damn!
I don't give a damn right now.
Jorge said all I had to do was drive a truck. I can do that. Hey, I'm Mexican, right? It's in my blood.
And the girls were already there, so you figured, might as well rape them.
[cold] There are the weak, and there are the strong.
And you were the strong.
Yes! Yes! I can have anyone I wanted. For a thousand miles, I was their God! They were mine until I dumped them in the warehouse and went back to get a new batch!
Something did happen on that hunting trip.
White people and rifles. Don't ask me.
My dad and I talk and stuff...
Oh, yeah. What about?
Umm...
See, that's why I figured they invented sports. To give dads something to talk about with their sons.
A war you can't win is the only one worth fighting.
I'm a cop and a mother, Fin. That's all I am.
That's more than most.
And what happens if tomorrow I wake up and I can't do one of those things? Does that make me only half the person I was the night before?
Excuse me for being redundant, but it's still more than most.
Well, that's very nice of you to say, but the fact of the matter is, the truth is, I got winded. Chasing that Conway kid... I had to stop. And now an innocent woman who was riding her bike has a broken leg because of me.
And no matter how hard you sucked for air, your lungs couldn't take in enough breath.
Yeah.
And your legs felt like lead.
Right.
Welcome to the club. Liv, nobody expects you to be Wonder Woman.
I do.
Yeah, and I used to think I was Superman.
So what happened?
Life. Time. Whatcha gonna do?
It wasn't your dad's fault. It wasn't your brother's fault. That only leaves one person, Sam. This is all on you, but maybe you're right. Go ahead. Kill yourself. It's probably easier than facing your father in the state he's in right now, Sam.
What? You talked to him?
Yeah, I talked to him. He's worried, he's worried sick about you. But maybe you're right. Just shoot yourself. That'll show him how much you hate him.
No, no. I don't hate him, I love him.
So maybe you want to tell him that, and maybe he wants to tell you that too. Because that's the thing about dads, no matter how much you screw up, they still love you.
You were trying to save his life.
I didn't have to cross-examine him.
Yes, you did. His father raped him, for God's sake.
And I raped him all over again on the witness stand.
The last time I put Sam on the witness stand...
This isn't the time, Peter. Kids are dead. Two sets of parents are mourning the loss of their child.
Sam is already locked up.
We already lost Sam. This is about the next Sam Conway.
How did your father act when he wasn't happy with you?
He... He called me names.
What else?
He called me a baby.
What else?
He called me a fag and a pussy, alright?
Like when you couldn't shoot the deer.
Yeah, right.
He wasn't proud of you.
No. He said until further notice, I was a little girl. He called me Samantha. Threw one of Mom's dresses at me, told me to wear it.
Did he hit you?
No. He said I deserved it, though, but he'd never hit a girl.
The moment before you shot your classmates, what was going through your head?
[mutters] Be a man.
Can you speak up, Sam?
Be a man! This voice in my head kept saying, "Do it, be a man, be a man!" [jumps up from the stand, screaming at his father] BE A MAN! I DIDN'T FLINCH, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
Men are strong. They're the hunters. They're the fighters. The spear throwers, the sword swingers, the gunslingers. They sit in bars and toss back shots while they regale other men with stories of their sexual conquests. That's what makes them masculine - that's what makes them men. You get in a fistfight? That's okay - it'll make you a man. You grab a little ass? Hey, that's what men do. But what if you cry or show empathy or, God forbid, you can't shoot a little rabbit? Well, I'm sorry, but you just don't deserve to be my son. The problem is, Sam is John's son. The problem is, Sam just wanted to make John proud. The problem is, John wasn't preaching strength. He was preaching power over others, and that's not being a man - it's being a criminal.
Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know she was on something. When she started zoning out, I tried to help her. I took her to the hospital. That was the right thing to do, wasn't it?
You heard that, right, Sarge?
Yeah. So, you are the person who brought her to the hospital? Okay, well, you're free to go.
What, really?
[drops the act] No, asshole, sit down!
How'd the babysitting go?
Played 19 games of checkers, and I learned to read Green Eggs and Ham in Spanish.
[after losing in court] We tried, huh?
We lost the battle. Maybe we'll win the war.
