:14:04
where'd this come from ?
:14:07
I was 12. My dad went after my mother
with a bottle. I got in the way.

:14:13
So you saved her.
:14:16
Not for long.
:14:20
- I'm sorry. It's none of my business.
- He tied me to the radiator.

:14:24
I watched him beat my mother to death
with a tire iron...

:14:29
... and he left me there.
:14:33
Three days before
a truant officer found us.

:14:39
They never found the old man.
:14:50
Is that why you became a cop ?
:14:53
To get even ?
:14:55
Maybe.
:14:58
Do you like it ?
:15:03
I used to.
:15:06
Now it's all strong-arm,
sitting duck stuff.

:15:10
If I could...
:15:12
... get a chance to work Homicide...
:15:15
... like a real detective...
:15:18
That prick, Exley,
he shot the wrong guys.

:15:22
whoever killed Stensland's still around.
I know it in here. I know it.

:15:27
Something's wrong
with the Nite Owl.

:15:29
I just can't prove it, that's all.
:15:32
I'm not smart enough.
:15:36
I'm just the guy they bring in
to scare the other guy shitless.

:15:42
You're wrong.
:15:44
You found Patchett. You found me.
:15:47
You're smart enough.
