Highlander: The Raven (1998–1999): Season 1, Episode 7 - Crime & Punishment - full transcript

A baseball prospect who was convicted of murdering his manager is out of prison, and he is targeting the people responsible for putting him there--including Nick, who was the lead detective on the case.

You have
the right to remain silent.
Anything you say...

can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

You have a right to an attorney
should you wish to have one.

Oh, man.
Give me a break.

Are you listening to me?
You want I should cuff her?

Do you hear what I said?
"Cuff her"? Get out of town!

Guys, come on.
We know each other.
Miss Sanchez?

Don't interrupt him.

What do you want?

Nothing you can give me.

Hey, you picked
the wrong house, pal.



You have any idea
who I am?

You want money?

Here-- two, three,
300--

350--
Here, take it all.

- It's not enough.
- My watch.

It cost me
12 grand. Here.

More.
What do you want?

- I want more.
- Well, what?

You ever hit a ball...
when you're in the zone?

You watch it leave
the pitcher's hand.

It crosses the plate,

and...

wham!

Right in the sweet spot.



- You're the ballplayer.
- And you're the D. A.

Hey, I was just
doing my job.

It was the cops
that brought the case.
It was their call.

- It was Wolfe.
- Hmm. Nick Wolfe.

- That's him.
- But you helped.

But I can
help you now too.

Did you read
my letters?

Letters?

Oh, well, sure.
Of course. Yeah.

The letters.
I-I-I-- I read them all.

What'd they say?

I-I'm sorry. I didn't.

You just tell me
what you want, okay?

Just--

I want my life back.

She is immortal.

A thousand years old
and she cannot die.

A creature of legend...

like the raven,

a thief who stole the sun
and the moon.

They sent a warrior
to bring her back.

He found her.

Together, they brought back
light to the world.

I was a cop.

To me she was just a thief,

another day on the job.

But she wasn't--
She changed my life,
changed everything.

And both of us knew
from that moment on,

nothing would ever be
the same.

Hey, buddy!
Over here!

It's okay. Give him--
There you go.

Thank you very much.
Have a good day.

What are we
gonna do this afternoon?

Maybe we can go
to the... toy store.

I hope you don't do this
for a living.

There.
That should do it.

How many women
do you know...

who could make
such a complicated meal
and still look so good?

I think Nick
would be more impressed
if you got rid of those.

The take-out bags?

Ah. Mmm.

Do you know...

how many delivery boys
I had to tip?

How many times I had
to go to the door?

The lengths I went to
to get this china?
The Duke of Marlborough knows.

Exactly.
Don't you think he
would've liked it back?

Oh, darling,
it doesn't go
with his flatware.

Ahh.
Ahh.

All right.

Honey, you look
exhausted.
I am so tired.

I'll open some champagne.
Good idea.

Hmm.

You put a tail on me?

Man walks down the same street
as you, happens to be a cop--
It's a free country.

Not now.
What's going on here,
Carl?

- Maybe I'm just trying
to protect your ass.
- From what?

From who.
Remember Bonita?

Ray Bonita. Ballplayer.
Killed his minor-league
manager.

- I thought you might.
- Yeah, first case I caught
out of uniform.

Yeah, well, Bonita's out.
We think he killed Gadson.

I'm betting
he remembers you.

Yeah. I was pissed.

- How pissed?
- We fought.

Hey, man,
everybody fought with Jerry.
It's the kind of guy he was.

- Nobody liked
the son of a bitch.
- Was I talking to you?

So I heard you guys were
screaming at each other. You
always scream when you fight?

Jerry didn't talk,
he shouted.
I shouted back.

I didn't know
there was a law against
having an argument.

There isn't if
the other guy walks away.

I was pissed, we fought,

I left.

Where'd you go?
For a drive.

- For three hours?
- I had a lot on my mind.

You talk to anybody?
You see anybody?

- I didn't know
I'd need an alibi.
- What were you fighting about?

- Somebody got something wrong.
- I bet.

You know what they found
in Jerry's desk
this morning?

A list of the Mets'
hand signals?

No.

Drug tests.

You're, uh,
turning on your heel.

It's messing with
your follow-through.

When a player tests
positive for cocaine,

it throws the screws
on a promising career.

Look,
you got it all wrong.

I tell you what.
Let's go downtown.
You can help me get it right.

It's a waste of time.

I'll get my stuff.

Hey, buddy.
What's going on?

Columbo here thinks
Ray killed Jerry.

That's crazy.
Yeah, I tried
to tell him.

Then he's got nothin'
to worry about.

Listen, if I'm not back
by 6:00, call Angie.

You got it.

Hey, that's not mine.

Put your hands
behind your back.
What?

Do it!
What are you doin'?

Look, I swear to God, man.
That is not mine.
I did not do this!

Hey, call Angie,
will ya?
Yeah, you got it.

Hey, we're gonna get you
a good lawyer, all right?
We'll get you out of this.

Darryl,
I didn't do it.
I know, buddy.

I know.

You got some killer
on the loose,

and you put a rookie
to keep an eye on me?

- Hey, some people might
appreciate the thought.
- I want to see his jacket.

- It's confidential.
- Captain,
you want to sign this?

Tell Sergeant Vocono
I want his ass out
on the street today.

Carl, when were you gonna
let me know? Before or after
I'm laying on the concrete?

I'm waiting
for the prints.
We don't know...

if it's him for sure--
You were waiting for the prints
before you tell me?

Don't tell me how to do my job.
I'm not telling you how
to do your job, Carl.

You got a D. A. down.
You're using me as bait.
I want to see the jacket.

You're a civilian,
Nick.

Leave this
to the department.

Wouldn't look
so good, would it--

"Ex-cop Solves Case. "

People might wonder
why he's an "ex. "

Questions you don't
want to answer.

Okay.

I am going to
go out now.

And I am going to
have a good time.

I don't know
where I'm going,

but-- never to worry--

wherever it is,

he's going to be
very rich,
Prince!

and he's going to be
very handsome.

The actor.
And he's gonna
own a watch.

Did you know, Lucy,
that I have not
been stood up...

since Winston Churchill
had to order D-Day?

That wasn't his fault.
So Eisenhower said.

And he apologized.

Hey, over here!

Ma'am.
Ooh.
So dependable.

- I know you.
- I apologize.

- Mmm? For what?
- Being late.

Late for, uh--

Lunch.

Lunch! Oh, my God.
Was that today?

Tsk. What were you--
20, 30 minutes late?

- Three hours.
- Wow, something must have
really gone wrong...

for you to be
three hours late.
Nothing went wrong.

Nothing went wrong?
Nothing's wrong.

All right.
See ya around.

- Amanda--
- Yep.

- Some other time?
- Sure.

Something wrong?
Why do you ask?

Well, at least we have
civilized rules of engagement.

"Civilized"? Right.
Oh, you think
there's a difference?

It's a personal thing.
I put the guy in prison.
He's pissed.

Oh. All right.
So it's okay
because he's angry.

Forget it.

Anyone hungry?

Look, maybe
I can help you.
I can handle it.

This is a personal thing,
Amanda. And don't give me
any of your...

"I'm an immortal;
I can't be killed" B. S.

Okay, what about, uh,

"What a testosterone-based
macho idiot I am" B. S. ?

Look, the guy's
not gonna go away.
He's gonna come,

and he's gonna keep coming
until you're dead.

- Believe me. I know
a lot about grudges.
- Then I'll find him first.

Oh. City of five million--
Piece of cake.

It'd be a lot easier
if I had my notes.

You don't remember?

It was a long time ago.
It was six years.

Six years ago. Wow.
There goes the short-term.

- There's a lot of details.
- I remember every dish...

in a 17-course dinner
at Versailles, right down to
thefilet de li??vre Londonier.

- And that was 250 years ago.
- Really? Congratulations.
Doesn't help.

- All right. Where's the file?
- Magnus's office.

No problem.

- No!
- Yes. What do you think,
I'm out of practice?

The poster child
for robbery/homicide.
Signs everywhere...

say, "Arrest this woman. "

Cindy Crawford's not
as popular down there.

Cindy Crawford
isn't as talented.

- No can do.
They know you too well.
-

And they don't know you,
former Detective Wolfe?

Have a seat.

You go. I'll lock up.
I still got to change.

Thanks.

Bye.
Bye.

Connie?

Who's there?

It's me! Angie!

I could've killed you.

What did they do
to you?

Very pretty!

How do you like that,
sweetie, huh?

Welcome!

They won't do it again.

I'm sorry I scared you.

But I had to make sure
that you were alone.

Cops were already here.

I know.

Oh.
Did you do it, Ray?

Ray?

Oh!

Pardon me if I ask
a silly question,

but why don't you
just get out of town?

Amanda has this great
little place in the Bahamas.

You could go there
for a couple of months.

She might even
come with you.

Little golf,
midnight swims,

couple of bottles
of champagne by the sea.

Why is it when the going
gets tough, you want to
go on vacation?

It is the wisdom that comes
with years, my dear.

Look. It looks like
Ray had a girlfriend,

and his best friend
is a Darryl Keenan.

Darryl Keenan,
the pitcher?

Yeah, who just signed
for 30 million plus incentives.

- Boy, did I get
in the wrong career.
- Son of a bitch.

So you don't want
to go away. So don't go.
I'm sorry I mentioned it.

No, Lucy.

Ray took a drug test
when he was in prison.

He was clean.

- So, what do you got for me?
- Morris murder.

Drug test, blood fragments
from the bat.

Nice. Nice job.

Man, I nailed
that son of a bitch.

Can you believe
he's still screaming
he's innocent?

Ah, they all do.
Public defender's probably
trying to get him to cop a plea.

So, tell me.

How does it feel?

Great.
It feels great.

So?
So, it's impossible.

It's Darryl Keenan!

Been a while.
You bet.

Thanks for coming.
Good to see ya.

Hey, there.
Can I have your autograph?

You're awesome.
Thank you.

Yeah, my name's John,
Mr. Keenan.

Thanks.
Oh, man.

You know, I had it
all worked out for you.

Now you're gonna have
the police force after you.

So let 'em find me.

I just don't get it.

I mean, you got
a nice little job
in my organization.

Yeah, like this scar's
gonna match a suit?

I suppose this is where
you tell me I ought to
see the other guy, right?

He's dead.

So how's the arm?
Mmm, still tight.

Those sons of bitches,

they got me training
in the off-season.

Hell, I figure
it's their nickel, right?
I'm just a working stiff.

- Well, you got to
stay in shape.
- Ray?

What did you have to
kill the guy for?

I would have
worked it out.

'Cause nobody screws
with Ray Bonita.
Not anymore.

"Plead manslaughter,"

the public defender
tells me.

"You'll do six years,
come out a young man,"
she tells me.

Too bad she didn't tell me about
the animals that come for you
in the middle of the night.

But I learned.
Somebody takes
something from you,

you take it right back,
or you're meat.

And that bastard
took my life.

Well, that bastard
was a D. A.
He was a liar.

Look, I just want
to help, okay?

Tell me what you need.
Just let me know
what I can do.

I want to see the show.

How 'bout the time
you struck out Boggs
three times in a row?

Damn.
You saw that?

And the night you ended
the Yankees' streak?
Ah, just got lucky, I guess.

Come on.
There were shadows
all over that field.

Man, you're in the show.

Hey. You'd have been
in it too, Ray.

Hey, come on.
Just let me
help you, buddy.

You know what they're paying me.
Damn mayor, he's giving me
a key to the city.

Shoot. I'm kicking
some pretty serious
butt here.

Doesn't matter.

Ray?

Where can I find
Darryl Keenan?

Thank you, Santa.

It's him.
Hey, you stay cool.

Okay, we're in it
together.
Don't!

Don't do this, Ray.
Time for you
to get lost, Darryl.

You kill this man,
you take me with you.

What are you
talking about, man?
I'm gonna be a witness.

Look, they're gonna
give me a choice.

I put away
my best friend,
or I lose everything.

Ray, please.

Just... let me
handle him, all right?

Darryl Keenan--
I'm a big fan.

- Nick Wolfe.
- Nice to meet you.

Yeah.
You seen Ray Bonita?

No, sir, I haven't.
You know he's out.

Yeah. Yeah,
I know that.
Oh, yeah.

Well, did you read
the papers, or--
Yeah. Yeah.

Really?
What makes you think
he'd come here?

Well, you never missed
a day of his trial.

Well, neither did you.

You're the cop
who arrested him.
You're his best friend.

Didn't know
that was a crime.

Known each other
since you were kids.

Yeah, well, you know
he's been in jail, right?

Could have lost touch.

You paid for his lawyers.

Look, I don't know
how you treat friends
where you come from.

Where I come from,
you help a friend
who's in trouble.

Well, you send his girlfriend
a check every month.

Yeah.
She's a nice girl.

It's not her fault.
You called over there
yesterday.

Hey. Come on, Darryl.

Look, if anybody knows
where Ray is, it's you.
You wanna help me out here?

Look, I don't mean you
any disrespect,

but you are the man
who put him away.

Well, maybe I was wrong.

What the hell's
that supposed to mean?

Maybe he was innocent.
Say what?

Maybe we should
reopen this case.
Really?

Why? You got some
new evidence or something?

Or something.

Don't do this to me.

Don't do what?
Look, I know
he was your friend,

but this guy's in trouble,
and just maybe I can help him.

He's got a gun.
He wants you dead.

A lot of people do.

Where is he?

He's in the locker room.

Ray, don't!

I just want to talk
to you.

You took my life once!
You wanna try it again?

I saw the drug tests.

The ones you did
in prison.

I told you!

I saw the letter
you wrote the D. A.

- I told all of you!
- When Jerry died,
you were clean.

I was innocent!

- I was wrong.
- It's too late.

No, it's not
too late.

I killed the D. A.

But not Jerry.
Don't make things worse.

Think they'll
let me go?

If they catch you
out on the street,
they'll kill you.

I don't care.

I screwed up.

Six years ago, I was wrong.
Let me fix it.

There is no hope for me.

You'll be alive.

Prison is not living.

You set me up?

You bastard!

So, great.
You've retired.

- It's still my case.
- You broke into my office!
You stole my files!

You start a shootout
in the mayor's favorite
tourist attraction.

- What the hell are you doing?
- Getting answers.

You're not a cop, Wolfe.

He didn't do it.

Didn't do what?
Didn't kill his manager.

That's funny.
I don't see a dead manager.
I see a dead D. A.

We got the wrong--
I got the wrong guy.

You made your bones
on that case.

Well, maybe
I shouldn't have.

The case is closed.

Nothing's closed.
He's still out there.
Not for long.

You got a problem with it?
Talk to a priest.

I already spoke
to the cops...

and the D. A. 's office.

You haven't talked
to me.

We can do it here,
or we can go downtown.

Haven't seen him.
Hasn't called.

Don't know
where he is.

Murder,
attempted murder--

He's in a lot
of trouble, Angie.

He gets caught
out on the street, he's dead.

He's not a monster.

You don't know him.
Nobody does.

Do you know what it's like
to be 21 and so much in love
that it hurts?

It's been a while.

And he loves you so much...

that he'll stop an entire game
on a summer night in July
to wave at you.

Just to let everyone
know you're his.

That he'll go hungry
when his team's on the road...

because he spent his meal money
talking to you on the pay phone.

That's how much
he loved me.

He was innocent,

and it didn't matter.

You put him away;
you find him.

You're not helping him.

You want to put
my ass in jail,
you do that.

Look, I'm not going
to arrest you.

You're not a cop?

If he hurts a cop,
if he so much as
touches Nick Wolfe,

the cops are gonna be
the least of his problems.

Who are you?

You tell him if you see him,
no one forgets when
you kill a D. A.

You tell him to
start running and keep running.
And my advice to you--

Don't go with him.

Get out of town, Ray.

She's right.

You stay here,
they'll get you for sure.

Hi! I couldn't get in
to the manicurist, so I--
Fascinating.

Nick--
Mu business,
my life, Amanda.

He wants you dead.
Then that makes it
between him and me.

You want me to go?

No.

No, I'm going
with you.

No, no.

I mean, that's-that's
totally crazy.

Look, she called in
sick today. Let's talk.

I waited six years, Ray.

Angie, they get me,
they get you too.

Six years! Do you think
I'm going back to waiting?

We got nothing.

It takes money to run.

Darryl's got money.

Stay out of this, Amanda.
Look, some things
you can't change, Nick.

That is not the same person
you put away.
He is a murderer.

Whatever he is,
I made him that way.

So, what, you're God now?
What else do you feel
responsible for?

He was a kid
with a life
and a future.

I don't expect you
to understand.

Why not?
Because I'm immortal
or a thief or a woman?

What don't I get?
All of the above.

I owe him.

So him putting
bullet holes through you
is gonna make it right?

Huh?

You know, I wouldn't
have come, but--
Hey, it's okay, buddy.

Remember when
we were kids?

You know, you taught me
to throw my first curve.

You remember.
Hell, yeah.

Still your best pitch.

You know,
I'm real sorry.

About what?
About all this.

It's not your fault.

Yeah, it is.

Oh, man.

He was crazy, you know.

I tried to reason with him,
but he wouldn't listen.

He just wanted me dead.

He was my best friend.

He pulled his gun on me,
so I had to shoot.

I had to.

Six years ago,
one spot available...

on a major-league roster:
two players good enough
to get it.

Circumstantial.
Darryl Keenan did it.

Why won't you look at this?
What, are you afraid of
pissing off someone downtown?

In two hours,
the mayor's giving the key
to the city to Keenan,

and I'm gonna wrap it
in a bow for him.

You know what, Carl?
I think you stopped being
a cop long before I did.

- Get out.
- Keenan didn't kill
Ray Bonita. We did.

We followed procedure.

We were wrong.

Hey.
You lied to me.

Do you realize if you'd
have told me the truth,
that Ray was in there,

he still might be
alive today?

Yeah, I might have told you,
and you might have
walked in that bar,

and he might have
blown you away.

Oh, that's right.
You're not big
on the truth.

What's so great
about the truth, Nick?

You want to know
what's so great
about the truth?

For some of us,
it's all we got.
Really?

What the hell good is the truth
if it gets you killed?

Evidence?
Is that the truth?
Evidence convicted Ray.

Was that the truth?
I'll tell you
what the truth is.

Only two guys on that team
were A-negative blood type.
Like the drug test.

Ray Bonita
and his best buddy.
Darryl Keenan.

And one of 'em's
nailed for murder.
And one made the big leagues.

And one of 'em's lying.
And one of 'em's talking.

And he's dead.
Not necessarily.

Oh, you're gonna tell me
he's immortal?

I'm sorry, Amanda,
but not all of us
get that privilege.

You know what I like
about the truth, Nick?
What?

Sometimes the best way
to get it is to lie.

Maybe this old thing.

Sorry, ma'am.
Ray never mentioned you.

That's funny. He told me
a lot about you.

He told me he was
gonna marry Angie.

Well, how's this for,
uh, a little pillow talk?

I'm sorry, ma'am.
They got Ray for that.

You're right. They did.
They put him in jail.

Lucky for you.

Tell me, Darryl, what is
the difference between...

a man and D. N. A. ?

- I don't know.
- D. N. A. never lies.

You ain't got a thing.
Oh, no. I got
a lot of things.

I got a drug test,
and I got a swatch
from a friend's baseball bat.

Cops closed the case.
And I got a good old boy
who should have quit cocaine.

Closed it twice.
You know, what about
those tabloids?

Because, you know,
inquiring minds do
like to know.

I got pictures
of me at the White House.

Hell--
I'm with the president.

I know. I saw that.
Who dressed you
for that, anyway?

Tell me, Darryl,
how are the endorsements doing--
the shoe company?

Oh, is that what you want?
Why not?
Ray earned it.

Let's see.
Three, four--

- Thousand.
- Million.

Four.

You know what? I think
we ought to go five.

Five million dollars.

Want to go higher?

What'd you think I'd done--
just fell off the turnip truck?

Not at all. I think
you just got 30 million
without endorsements.

You pay an agent,
a publicist, a lawyer,
an accountant.

I don't think they're gonna
miss my little old cut.

Do you think I worked
my whole life...

- to pay it over
to some stupid tramp?
- Excuse me?

Do you think a guy
that solves the problems
that I have is an idiot?

Oh, you're talking about
the drug thing. Right.

They caught you
on a really bad day, so you
switched yours for Ray's.

That stupid cop who just
kept asking questions--

- I wouldn't go there
if I were you.
- I can go anywhere I want to!

I'm Darryl Keenan.

You want
five million dollars?

You want five million dollars,
you go find it under a rock.

Golly, Officer.

She broke in.
She was half crazed
from killing her boyfriend.

Came right at me.

Nice swing.
Use that on Jerry?

Oh, you figured it out.

What else
was I gonna do?
Tell the truth.

It was a little late for that,
now wasn't it? Ray wasn't
supposed to serve time.

See, I had it all
figured out every
step of the way.

That case wasn't
gonna hold water.

Except he goes and pleads
to manslaughter.

Stupid hayseed.

Must have been
to trust you.

Tsk. All right.
Go ahead and shoot me.

911.
This is Darryl Keenan.

What's your location?
I'm at 143 Walnut.

I'd like to report a b--
a break-in and shooting.

Are you all right, sir?
Yeah, I'm okay now.

We're on our way.
Thanks.

Ah, she ain't going
anywhere.

Get it?

Again?
You'll like this one.

It's got a good beat.
You can dance to it.

Except he
goes and pleads to manslaughter.
What is it?

It's Ray's eulogy.
Sleep well.

You want five million dollars?
Go ahead and shoot me.

I'm Darryl Keenan.

Here you go.

Darryl Keenan arraignment
tomorrow.

His fans have already
set up a defense fund.

Still, you did it.

Sure did.

Took a pretty nice guy
with a hell of a swing...

and turned him into a--
a what?

Everybody knows better.
Angie knows.

Half the ball club
showed up to his funeral.

You did everything
you could do.
It wasn't enough.

Someone died because
I made a mistake.

Would you please stop?
What?

Expecting yourself to be
more than human.

Spoken by someone who is.
We're all the products
of our histories.

Thomas Jefferson wrote
the Declaration of Independence,

but he still owned slaves.

Is there a point to this?

The best people I've known
didn't always do
the right thing.

They just wanted to.

Tell me it gets easier
after the first
thousand years.
