Sonny

I know what you're thinking, Amanda, and you're wrong. You're a great mother.

I'm not so sure.

Sonny

Well, I am.

I... it just gets lonely sometimes.

Sonny

Jesse still up?

Yep. Uh, sitter said she was.

Sonny

All right, well, let's go get some groceries. I wanna make spaghetti for all three of us and then we're gonna watch some terrible reality TV. I mean, it is gonna be so bad.

You got nothing better to do?

Sonny

No, I do not.

We're looking for a young guy, it's not Lawrence Hendricks. He's 75 years old.

Sonny

Yeah, but don't you get to subtract ten years for every billion dollars you have?

Hey, where are we with these Bang Brothers?

The Bash Brothers. Like McGwire and Canseco.

Sonny No, like Reed and Portman.

[Fin and Benson stare at him blankly]

Sonny

"Mighty Ducks 2"? Never mind.

Sonny

You know something, Kyle? When I first saw Jack laid up in that hospital, I was pretty upset. I was angry at who did it. Because right away, Jack reminded me of... of me. You see, I was the scrawny kid way back when. Guys in the neighborhood, they used to pick on me every day. The worst was this... this kid, Bobby Bianchi. One day when we were at school, he grabbed me by the hair and he... he shoved my face through a plate glass window.

KKyle

Must have hurt.

Sonny

I was bleeding, I was all cut up. The principal asked what happened. Now, I could have put an end to it. Right there. All I had do was say Bobby's name. But I didn't. Because I didn't want Bobby to get into trouble.

KKyle

He got away with it?

Sonny

That's right. Nobody ever knew what happened. You know where Bobby is now? He's in Sing Sing for stabbing some poor sap to death during a bar fight. And I always think, "What if I would have said something? What if I just would have said something? Maybe... that guy would still be alive." I missed my shot, Kyle. Not a day goes by that I don't regret it. But this is your shot. Right now.

And if not for you, Kyle, do it for your little brother. Because what happens when he gets older and you're not around to look after him? Hmm? You ever think about that? Look, if you're willing to talk to the judge, we can get this case sent back to family court, and you will get a reduced charge. Which means do less time.

KKyle

Okay. I'll do it.

GGates

I turned on the TV, saw Margery Evans spouting that inane defense of Harold. I couldn't stay silent any longer.

Sonny

Thanks for coming in.

GGates

I should've known it wasn't just me.

Tell us what happened with Coyle.

GGates

You're gonna need more paper.

Sonny

"The Endless Truth" is still pushing that garbage. Now some of its readers are making threats against you and Rollins.

What about Jessie and Noah?

Sonny

Self-investigators like that guy Malcolm, they're interested in them.

[reading] "Someone should take those kids from their so-called mothers and test their DNA. Crack the sex ring. Let the truth ring out."

Arrest the son of a bitch who runs that thing.

For what?

Breathing.

Sonny

Where does he take the girls when they get there?

He's got a couch and a room in the back. I mean, this guy is first class, all the way.

Sonny

Filthy couch in the back room with the pots and pans. Prison's gonna be a step up for this guy.

Not sure he's gonna see it that way.

YYusef

[walking past a group of protesters] Everyone is so angry.

Sonny

I get it.

YYusef

No, you don't. People think we are terrorists. Like we are all the same.

Sonny

Most of us know better.

YYusef

I don't think so, but this protesting, what do people think will happen? Things will change? No. The world doesn't change. People don't change.

Sonny

Yeah, see, I don't believe that. People uniting, making their voices heard, refusing to be oppressed. That's what this country's all about. I mean, that's why you came here, right?

YYusef

I came here because I like being alive.

Given the nature of the injury, there's a sexual motivation behind all of this.

Explains why Karr won't talk.

I can't prosecute the assault unless the victim makes an ID.

Sonny

OK, well how about we charge the three women with obstruction?

For asserting their Fifth Amendment rights?

Sonny

After they lied to us and obfuscated our investigation.

[smirks] "Obfuscate"? Yummy.

EEvelyn

You don't understand. You're a man.

Sonny

Listen to me, Evelyn. That man is a predator and he should be in prison.

EEvelyn

Yeah, what do you know about it?

Sonny

You're right. I don't know, but I do have a niece. If I found out one of her teachers was doing that to her, cop or no cop, I would beat the living crap out of him.
