NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 6, Episode 5 - Hearts and Souls - full transcript

YOU DONE?

AM I HURTING YOU?

NO, NO.

ONE MORE. YOU HAVE, LIKE,
A LITTLE DRAINAGE.

I WANTED TO GO SLOW.

OK. I'M GONNA
LEAN BACK NOW.

ALL RIGHT, YOU SET
THE SCHEDULE, BOBBY.

YEAH.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS
MUCH ACTION IN A WHILE.

IS THE BANDAGE WET?

NO. NO. THERE WAS
A LITTLE YELLOW DRAINAGE.



HUH. FEELS WET.

I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO GET
OUT OF HERE THIS MORNING.

ABSOLUTELY.

BOBBY HAS A LITTLE
DRAINAGE ON HIS BANDAGE.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

YEAH.

YOU DO HAVE
SOME DRAINAGE.

I'M GONNA GO GET
A LITTLE Q‐TIP.

I'M GONNA CHECK
BOBBY'S INCISION.

I'LL HAVE A NURSE
HELP YOU GET BACK INTO BED.

NO, NO. I CAN
GET BACK INTO BED.

GOOD.

COME ON,
I'LL HELP YOU.

NO, WATCH ME GO.



YEAH? YOU WANNA TAKE
A RUNNING START?

OK, YOU CAN
HELP ME NOW.

OH, ANDY,

YOUR EX‐WIFE'S HERE.

SHE'S IN
THE LAVATORY.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

SHE SEEMS ALL RIGHT.

SO, DID YOU
SEE HIM AT ALL?

I SAW HIM FROM OUT
IN THE HALLWAY FOR JUST
A COUPLE OF SECONDS.

DID IT LOOK LIKE
HE'S GETTING SICK AGAIN?

I DON'T KNOW.
YEAH, HE LOOKED LIKE
HE WAS GETTING SICKER.

HI, ANDY.

YOU ALL RIGHT, KATIE?

YEAH, I JUST HAD TO
USE THE GIRLS' ROOM.

NO, I MEAN, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING HERE?

IS THIS A BAD TIME?

I CAN TALK TO YOU
SOME OTHER TIME.

NO, COME ON. WE'LL
GO IN THE COFFEE ROOM.

KATIE, WHEN THE HELL
DID YOU START DRINKING?

WHAT?

COME ON IN HERE.

COME ON.

I HAD ONE SMALL DRINK.

YOU KNOW ME,
I'M NOT A DRINKER.

IT WAS COMING
TO THE CITY

AND SEEING YOU.

I HAD ONE SMALL DRINK.

SO HOW ARE THINGS
WITH YOU, ANDY?

HOW'S YOUR NEW WIFE?

SO, WHAT'S THIS PROBLEM
YOU'RE IN, KATIE?

I'M IN SOME TROUBLE,
ANDY.

I WAS ARRESTED
IN SECAUCUS
FOR A DWI.

YOU GOT A DWI?

THIS MUST HAVE BEEN
UNDER THE PRESSURE

YOU COMING IN TO SEE ME.

NO. THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY.

SO THIS SMALL DRINK TODAY,
IT WASN'T YOUR
FIRST SMALL DRINK.

PLEASE DON'T BULLY ME.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I HAD HAD
A GLASS OF WINE,

ONE GLASS.

THE COP SAID I ROLLED
A STOP, WHICH I DID NOT.

THE PERSON IN FRONT
OF ME ROLLED THE STOP,

AND THEN HE CHARGED ME
WITH A DWI.

DID YOU BLOW IMPAIRED?
DID YOU TAKE THE BREATH TEST?

I ALWAYS HEARD YOU SAY
NEVER AGREE TO TESTS.

AND YOU TOLD THIS JERSEY COP
THAT YOUR EX‐HUSBAND
IS ON THE JOB?

IT DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD.

AND, UH, ANDY JR., DID
YOU TELL HIM ABOUT THAT,

THAT HE WAS ON THE JOB
IN HACKENSACK?

I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF
TO SAY ABOUT ANDY.

GIVE ME THIS COP'S NAME.

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

9 WEEKS AGO.

9 WEEKS? WHEN THE HELL
IS THE TRIAL DATE, KATIE?

THIS AFTERNOON.
I WAS SO EMBARRASSED
TO COME TO YOU.

WERE YOU TOO EMBARRASSED
TO GO TO A LAWYER?

I THOUGHT MAYBE
YOU COULD HELP ME
KEEP IT FROM THAT.

HOW THE HELL AM I GONNA
HELP YOU, KATIE, IF YOU
DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT IT?

YOU GOT THE PAPERWORK?

DRINK YOUR COFFEE, AND
LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

AM I TOO EMBARRASSING
TO YOU TO STAY HERE?

KATIE, DRINK YOUR COFFEE.

YEAH, MY NAME'S
SIPOWICZ.

I'M A DETECTIVE IN THE
15th SQUAD IN MANHATTAN.

YOU WROTE UP MY EX‐WIFE

FOR A DWI
AND A ROLLING STOP

LAST, UH,
SEPTEMBER 28th.

WE HAD A SON ON THE JOB
IN NEW JERSEY,
WAS MURDERED.

IF SHE WAS IMPAIRED,

IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME
IF HER DRINKING'S ENSUED
CONNECTED WITH THAT.

[SIGHS]

ANYWAY, UH...

ARE YOU GONNA
HAVE A PROBLEM

IF I TRY REACHING OUT
TO THE PROSECUTOR?

YEAH. I APPRECIATE THAT.

ALL RIGHT,
THANKS A LOT. YEAH.

[DIALS A NEW NUMBER]

YOU KNOW ANYBODY
IN THE D. A.'s OFFICE
IN SECAUCUS?

I TOLD YOU WHAT I KNOW
ON THAT.

THEY KEPT HIM IN, AND
HE'S GOT A COMPLICATION.

BECAUSE MY EX‐WIFE
TOOK A COLLAR

FOR DRIVING DRUNK,
SYLVIA, ALL RIGHT?

AND SHE ONLY LET ME KNOW
3 HOURS BEFORE HER TRIAL,

AND IN BETWEEN BEING
CRITICIZED BY YOU
FOR MY TONE,

I WOULD LIKE TO TRY KEEPING
HER OUT OF A JACKPOT.

NOW, DO YOU KNOW ANY
PROSECUTORS IN SECAUCUS?

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

YEAH.

SON OF A BITCH.

I NEED SOME LOSS TIME.

ALL RIGHT.

I NEED TO FIND MY‐‐
MY RUMMY EX‐WIFE.

I NEED
THE CELLULAR PHONE.

HE'S ON HIS WAY BACK
FROM THE RECOVERY ROOM.

HE HAD HIS
CAT SCAN?
HE HAD HIS
CAT SCAN,

THEN WE CLEANED UP
HIS WOUND.

THAT'S
THE DEBRIDING?

YEAH. I'M GONNA
GIVE YOU MY SENSE
OF THE OVERALL PICTURE.

WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU
FIRST IS,

A‐‐WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT,

AND B‐‐NOW IS NOT THE TIME
FOR OUR RESOLVE TO WEAKEN.

OF COURSE NOT.

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN
SAY THAT?

THE LAB WORK WE DID
SHOWS THAT BOBBY HAS
A GRAM‐POSITIVE INFECTION.

OK.

THE CAT SCAN SHOWED

A CONSIDERABLE
POOL OF INFECTION
IN THE CHEST CAVITY,

WHICH IS WHY WE WENT IN
AND CLEANED IT UP.

A POOL OF INFECTION?

THAT'S NOT SURPRISING.

GRAM POSITIVES ARE VERY
AGGRESSIVE INFECTIONS.

BUT YOU STARTED HIM
ON THE ANTIBIOTICS.

WE STARTED HIM
ON THE I. V. ANTIBIOTICS
BEFORE HE WENT UPSTAIRS.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
AND THAT'S MY P‐‐

HI, BOBBY.

I WAS JUST REPEATING
TO DIANE

WHAT I TOLD YOU
IN THE RECOVERY ROOM

THAT JUST AS THIS IS
AN AGGRESSIVE INFECTION,

WE WANT TO BE JUST AS
AGGRESSIVE IN TREATING IT.

WE'RE BOTH WILLING
TO DO THAT.

IF OTHER CHALLENGES
COME UP,

WE'LL BE JUST AS AGGRESSIVE
ABOUT TREATING THOSE.

AND THE OTHER
CHALLENGES‐‐

THAT'S THE URINARY
INFECTION, WHICH...

RIGHT?

AS I TOLD YOU
IN THE RECOVERY ROOM‐‐

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE
TO TELL DIANE THAT‐‐

YOU HAVE AN INFECTION
IN YOUR URINE, THAT'S RIGHT.

AND THAT'S WHAT
THE ANTIBIOTICS
WILL CURE.

THAT'S THE PLAN.

I FEEL WORSE. AAH!

I WOULD FEEL WORSE, TOO,
IF SOMEBODY JUST BOUNCED ME
ON THE BED.

HOW DO YOU FEEL
WORSE, BOBBY?

[LABORED INHALE]

WORSE IN MY BREATHING,

AND‐‐AND I'M HOT.
I'M SO HOT.

YOU GOT SOME FEVER.

AND I'M WORSE...
IN MY BREATHING.

WELL, YOUR BREATHING
MIGHT BE LABORED

BECAUSE OF THE PROCEDURE
I JUST PERFORMED.

SO I'M NOT WORSE
FROM MY BREATHING?

NO. I'M JUST‐‐
I'M EXPLAINING WHY.

BUT THAT'S WHAT
THE ANTIBIOTICS
ARE GONNA HELP WITH.

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
THE PLAN.

[GASPING INHALE]

OH, GOD.

OH, MY GOD!

STEP OUT OF THE ROOM.

DID HIS HEART STOP?

IT DID NOT STOP.

HIS HEART'S DOING FINE.
HE'S HAVING A SEIZURE.

PLEASE.
STEP OUT OF THE ROOM.

10 MILLIGRAMS OF VALIUM
ON AN I. V. PUSH

AND GET HIM A LOADING
DOSE OF DILANTIN.

HE'S GONNA DO BETTER.

JUST GONNA KEEP HIM
FROM HURTING HIMSELF.

OHH...

OH, GOD.

I WANT
DR. CARRERAS BACK.

BOBBY WAS BETTER WHEN
DR. CARRERAS WAS HERE.

HI.

HI.

DOLORES SAID THAT YOU
WERE LOOKING FOR KATIE.

LOT OF GIN MILLS
IN THIS CITY.

OF COURSE, FIGURING SHE HAD
A BOTTLE IN HER PURSE,

SHE MIGHT HAVE HEADED
FOR THE TUNNEL.

WHEN DID KATIE
START TO DRINK?

I DON'T KNOW, SYLVIA.

I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'
ABOUT NOTHIN'.

UM...

AS FAR AS
THE SECAUCUS D. A.,

I THINK I GOT
A LITTLE LUCKY.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER
JERRY HENNESSY?

YEAH. YEAH.

WELL, HE WENT TO WORK OVER THERE
AFTER HE LEFT OUR OFFICE.

CAN HE HELP HER?

HE'LL ADJOURN THE DWI
CONTEMPLATING DISMISSAL

IF KATIE AGREES TO ENROLL
IN A DIVERSIONARY PROGRAM.

THEN, AFTER A YEAR, ASSUMING
THAT SHE'S NOT ARRESTED AGAIN,

THE CHARGES WILL BE EXPUNGED.

AND ON THE ROLLING STOP,

SHE'LL GET 2 POINTS
AGAINST HER LICENSE,
BUT NO SUSPENSION.

THANK YOU.

AND...WOULD YOU
THANK HIM FOR ME?

DO YOU WANT TO TRY
AND CALL KATIE?

I TRIED CALLIN' HER
ON THE CELL PHONE.
THERE'S NO ANSWER.

ALL THEM YEARS KEEPIN'
CARE OF ANDY JR.

BEFORE HIM, ME.

TAKES HER PENSION
AT THE PHONE COMPANY...

WITH NO ONE LEFT
TO LOOK AFTER.

[STIFLING TEARS]

I KNOW HOW SAD
YOU ARE, ANDY.

OH...

ALL I DIDN'T DO FOR HER.

AND PLUS, AS SICK
AS HE IS...

I NEVER THOUGHT
I'D MAKE A NEW FRIEND,

AND NOW HE'S GONNA DIE.

NO, YOU DON'T KNOW THAT
BOBBY IS GONNA DIE.

HE TOLD ME IN HIS EYES.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

15th SQUAD.

JUST A MOMENT,
PLEASE.

DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ,
IT'S YOUR EX‐WIFE.

WHERE ARE YOU, KATIE?

ALL RIGHT. WOULD YOU STAY
TILL I GET THERE?

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

GO AHEAD, ANDY.

YEAH, LET ME GO SEE KATIE.

I SPOKE WITH
DR. CARRERAS, DIANE.

HE HAS A FEW THINGS
TO SEE TO AT BELLEVUE,
AND THEN HE'LL BE OVER.

THANK YOU.

THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED
A POSTICTAL STATE.

IT OCCURS
AFTER A SEIZURE.

WE'LL, UH, TAKE
BOBBY'S MASK OFF WHEN
HE BECOMES RESPONSIVE.

I SEE.

I'D SURE LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT WHAT THE SECOND
CAT SCAN SHOWED.

NOT UNTIL DR. CARRERAS
GETS HERE.

DR. CARRERAS IS
A MEDICAL CARDIOLOGIST,
DIANE.

THIS IS A SPECIALIZED
AREA OF TREATMENT WHERE
I'M SURE HE'D DEFER.

BOBBY'S DEVELOPED
AN ABSCESS.

IT'S PROBABLY FROM
THE SAME INFECTION.

IT'S PROBABLY
WHAT GAVE HIM
HIS SEIZURE.

WHY WOULD THAT GIVE HIM
A SEIZURE?

BECAUSE IT'S IN
HIS BRAIN, DIANE.

AS I EXPLAINED TO YOU
BEFORE WE DID IT,

THE SECOND CAT SCAN
WAS OF BOBBY'S BRAIN.

NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO
HAVE A NEUROSURGEON
EVALUATE BOBBY

TO DECIDE
IF THIS ABSCESS
SHOULD BE DRAINED.

NOT TILL DR. CARRERAS
GETS HERE.

DIANE, DECIDING
ON HOW TO TREAT
A BRAIN ABSCESS

IS NOT HIS AREA
OF EXPERTISE.

DOES ANYONE'S EXPERTISE
MATTER?

OF COURSE IT DOES!

DON'T YOU RAISE
YOUR VOICE TO HIM,

AND DON'T YOU TRY
TO STEAMROLL US!

I CAN SEE YOU'RE UPSET,
SO...

YEAH, LET'S ABSOLUTELY
WAIT FOR DR. CARRERAS
TO GET HERE.

I'LL SEE SOME
OTHER PATIENTS,

AND THEN WE CAN ALL
PUT OUR HEADS
TOGETHER AGAIN.

DON'T BE ANGRY AT HIM.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING,
BOBBY?

BOBBY, DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?

CAN YOU SAY MY NAME
FOR ME?

CARRERAS.

THANKS FOR COMIN' BY,
DOC.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

WHERE YOU HAVING
PAIN, BOBBY?

NOT HAVING
TOO MUCH PAIN, DOC.

ALL KNOCKED OUT,
YOU KNOW?

[SWALLOWS
WITH DIFFICULTY]

ARE YOU HAVING
TROUBLE BREATHING?

NOT HAVING TOO MUCH
TROUBLE BREATHING, DOC.

ARE WE OK
WITH THE SIGNAL?

I'M NOT SURE I KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.

OH, NO.

OH, NO.

WHAT SIGNAL
ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT, BOBBY?

DON'T YOU
SELL ME OUT NOW.

[HEAVY BREATH]

NOT NOW.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

DID YOU SELL ME OUT
TO SOMEONE?

NO, I DIDN'T, BOBBY.
JUST TELL ME
WHAT YOU MEAN.

UHH...

UH‐OH.

DID I DREAM THAT?

I'M SORRY, DOC.

DID I DREAM WE AGREED?

JUST SHOW ME THE SIGNAL.

[WHEEZING]

AND THAT'S
FOR WHEN IT'S TIME?

OH...

WE DID TALK
ABOUT IT, HUH?

DO YOU FEEL
THAT IT'S TIME FOR US
TO STOP FIGHTING, BOBBY?

NO.

[HEAVY BREATH]

NO. I DON'T WANT
TO STOP FIGHTING...

OR THAT SHE'D THINK...

I'D STOP FIGHTING.

BUT IF IT COMES A POINT...

IT'S HOPELESS...

THEN I THINK
I'M GONNA STOP FIGHTING.

I UNDERSTAND.

THANKS, DOC.

THE ANTIBIOTICS
DON'T SEEM LIKE THEY'VE
STARTED TO WORK YET.

NO, I AGREE.

DIANE, THE FIRST THING...
I NEED TO SAY

IS THAT YOUR HUSBAND
IS DR. SWAN'S PATIENT NOW.

AND DR. SWAN IS
A SENIOR STAFF MEMBER...

COMPARED TO WHOM,
I'M KIND OF A PEON.

I UNDERSTAND.

BUT YOU'RE WHO
BOBBY AND I TRUST.

AND I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
MY CANDID OPINION.

WHAT I'D APPRECIATE,
THOUGH...

AFTER TAKING EVERYTHING
INTO ACCOUNT...

ONCE YOU MAKE
YOUR DECISION...

PLEASE PRESENT IT
TO DR. SWAN AS YOUR OWN

SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO
INTO A CAREER PUMPING GAS.

DO YOU THINK THEY
SHOULD OPERATE
ON HIS BRAIN?

I DON'T THINK
THEY SHOULD DO THAT NOW.

I THINK THAT...

WE SHOULD FOLLOW BOBBY
FOR 24 HOURS

AND SEE IF HE RESPONDS
TO THE ANTIBIOTICS.

GOOD.

NOW HEAR ME OUT,
DIANE.

BOBBY'S
ON IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS

THAT LOWER HIS RESISTANCE
TO INFECTION.

I DON'T THINK
IT'S A GOOD BET

THAT HE WILL RESPOND.

WELL...

CAN'T THEY STOP...
THE IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS?

THEN HE'S GONNA
REJECT HIS HEART.

I THINK WE'RE COMING
TO THE POINT WHERE...

WE NEED TO BE HUMBLE...

AND ACCEPT WE'VE DONE
WHAT WE CAN.

DR. SWAN STILL THINKS
THERE ARE THINGS
WE CAN DO.

THERE ARE, BUT I THINK
THEY'RE POSTPONING
THE INEVITABLE...

AT THE COST OF A LOT
OF SUFFERING FOR BOBBY.

OH...

OH, NO.

I'M SORRY.

I DON'T WANT HIM
TO SUFFER.

IT'S OK.

I'M SORRY. I JUST...

I‐‐I JUST WANTED
TO HELP HIM.

YOU CAN.

TELL DR. SWAN
WHAT YOU'VE DECIDED...

AND THEN EASE BOBBY'S MIND.

I CAN'T EXPLAIN
THIS TO BOBBY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

JUST BE WITH HIM.

HE'LL UNDERSTAND.

OHH...

OHH...

OH, NO, NO, NO,
NO, NO.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, BOBBY.

NO, NO.

OHHH...

I'M HERE.

HERE I AM.

I'M HERE, TOO.

OK.

OK, BABY.

I'M NOT GOIN' ANYWHERE.

I WAS JUST
SCRATCHING MY HAND.

DO YOU WANT ME
TO SCRATCH YOUR HAND?

[SHIVERING]

I TELL YOU...
I TELL YOU, NOW...

COULD I GET SOME WATER?

ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY.

OH...

OH, THANKS. THAT
REALLY QUENCHED MY THIRST.

HERE YOU GO.

BOBBY.

BOBBY,
IF YOU DON'T WANT...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
FIGHT ANYMORE.

DON'T FIGHT ANYMORE
FOR ME.

NO, I WAS JUST
SCRATCHIN' MY HAND.

NO, NO, NO. SIT.

YOU OK?

I GOT YOUR MESSAGE.

I WANT TO DECLINE
THE NEUROSURGEON.

YOU WANT TO DECLINE?

UH‐HUH.

I WANT TO WAIT
24 HOURS

TILL WE SEE
IF THE ANTIBIOTICS
TAKE EFFECT.

CAN WE TALK
ABOUT THIS OUTSIDE?

DOCTOR?

YES.

HOW ARE YOU, DOCTOR?

DIANE WAS
JUST REPEATING...
VERBATIM...

THE ADVICE,
I TAKE IT,
YOU GAVE HER.

WHY DON'T WE ALL TALK
ABOUT THIS OUTSIDE?

I JUST SUGGESTED THAT.

AND NOW THAT YOU HAVE,
MAYBE DIANE WILL AGREE?

IF YOU'RE GONNA
FIGHT WITH HIM,
I'M NOT GOING OUTSIDE.

NO ONE'S GONNA FIGHT.

I'D LIKE YOU
TO REALIZE, DIANE,

THAT BY THE TIME WE KNOW
IF THE ANTIBIOTICS
WORK SYSTEMICALLY,

BOBBY'S BRAIN ABSCESS
MAY HAVE KILLED HIM.

I SAID WHAT I WANT.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
I THINK YOU'RE SAYING
WHAT DR. CARRERAS WANTS.

DOCTOR...

I INVITED YOU TO CONSULT

AS AN INDULGENCE
TO THE PATIENT'S WIFE...

AND WITH THE ASSUMPTION
THAT YOU WOULD DEFER.

INSTEAD, YOU HAVE DIANE
PARROTING YOUR JUDGMENT.

IT'S MY JUDGMENT.

SIR, I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE,

BESIDE HIS BRAIN ABSCESS,

BOBBY HAS ABSCESSES
IN OTHER ORGANS AS WELL.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW
THE INFECTION
HE'S CONTRACTED

HAS A 20 TO 30%
MORTALITY RATE
IN HEALTHY PEOPLE,

LET ALONE SOMEONE
IMMUNOSUPPRESSED
BECAUSE HE'S GETTING MEDS

TO KEEP HIS BODY
FROM REJECTING
A TRANSPLANT.

I'M SIMPLY ASKING...

RESPECTFULLY...

WHY NOT WAIT 24 HOURS

TO SEE IF SOME
MIRACLE HAPPENS

AND THE ANTIBIOTICS
TAKE HOLD

BEFORE SUBJECTING HIM
TO ANOTHER INVASIVE PROCEDURE.

BECAUSE...

EVEN IF IT'S
ONLY MARGINALLY...

DRAINING
THAT BRAIN ABSCESS

COULD IMPROVE
HIS ODDS TO LIVE.

THERE ARE WORSE THINGS
THAN DYING, DOCTOR.

I'M GONNA HURT YOU.

THEN GET READY
FOR ME SAYING

I THINK YOU WERE
TRYING TO SMUGGLE
A CARDIAC FATALITY

ONTO THE NEUROSURGICAL
STATISTICS.

EXCUSE ME...

WHILE I MAKE A RECORD
OF OUR CONVERSATION.

LET YOURSELF REST,
BOBBY.

JUST BE WITH EVERYONE
YOU LOVE...

YOUR MOM AND DAD...

AND MARY...

I'LL BE WITH YOU
ALWAYS IN MY HEART.

AND THEN I'LL BE
WITH YOU SOON.

AND YOU'LL BE WITH...
OUR BABY.

[SOFTLY]
OK.

OK, BABY.

OK.

[SHIVERS]

I JUST WANT YOU
TO REST.

NO, I'M JUST
SCRATCHIN' MY HAND.

[SHIVERS]

OH, WELL.

OF ALL DAYS
TO LEAVE A MESS.

SIT DOWN WITH ME,
KATIE.

YOU'RE GONNA ASK,

"WHERE'S ANDY JR.'S
HAND PRINT?"

AND BOTH PARTS ARE
ON THE KITCHEN SHELF.

I'M GONNA GLUE IT
BACK TOGETHER.

LET ME TELL YOU
ABOUT YOUR CASE.

ABOUT MY CASE.

I THOUGHT IN
ANDY'S GOOD TIME,

I THOUGHT
IN THE CAR.

KATIE!

THEY WON'T CHARGE YOU
ON THE DWI...

[SIGHS]

BUT YOU HAVE TO ENTER
A DIVERSION PROGRAM.

I WILL.

WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S FOR DRUNKS.

DRUNKS.

YEAH, KATIE, DRUNKS.

YOU'RE A DRUNK NOW.

WELL, IF I AM, I DON'T
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

PROBABLY YOU RAN OUT OF PEOPLE
TO TAKE CARE OF, KATIE.

YOU NEVER LOOK
AFTER YOURSELF...

EXCEPT FOR
KEEPING CARE OF US.

WELL, THIS
IS DEFINITELY...

NOT USUALLY
THIS MESSY.

YOU GOT NO EXCUSE
TO MAKE TO ME, KATIE,

OF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD.

I LEFT YOU
WITH A LITTLE BOY.

OH, HE WAS
A BLESSING, ANDY.

WITHOUT ANDY JR.,
I COULDN'T HAVE LIVED.

IT'LL BREAK MY HEART
GOIN' OVER IT.

I CAN'T EITHER.

THAT'S WHY
I CAN'T FIX HIS
PRECIOUS HAND PRINT,

'CAUSE SEEING IT,
I THINK I'LL DIE.

BUT WE'RE ALIVE.

WE'RE BOTH ALIVE, KATIE.

AND AS MUCH AS I OWE YOU
FOR THAT GOOD BOY
THAT YOU RAISED,

I'M GONNA TELL YOU
WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO NOW.

YOU AND ME ARE GOIN'
TO MEETINGS, KATIE.

DO YOU GO TO THOSE
ALCOHOLIC‐TYPE MEETINGS?

I'M SUPPOSED TO,
BUT I DON'T.

AND IT'D BE A BIG FAVOR TO ME
TO GO WITH YOU.

WELL, I'LL GO
IF YOU WILL.

ANYTHING
TO HELP YOU.

THAT WON'T
GET YOU THROUGH.

I CAN PULL MYSELF
TOGETHER, ANDY.

I JUST NEEDED
THE REASON.

AW, KATIE.

OK, KATIE.

OK, KATIE.

AND MAYBE YOUR
REASONS WILL CHANGE.

AND MAY ALMIGHTY GOD,
THE FATHER, THE SON,
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

COME UPON YOU AND REMAIN
WITH YOU FOREVER. AMEN.

OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.

I'M LEAVING, GOD ALMIGHTY.

I BELIEVE JESUS...

DESCENDED
TO THE DEAD.

[WHIMPERING]

I COULDN'T DO IT
THEN, SISTER.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO DO IT GOOD NOW?

OH.

LARRY BONDS
IN THE THIRD ROW.

HE WOUND UP ON HEROIN
AND OTHER THINGS

I'M NOT EVEN
GONNA TELL YOU.

I HAD TO PUNCH HIM ONCE...

PRIOR TO AN ARREST.

HA HA. LARRY,
YOUR BLACK EYE

IS OFF OF
OUR SISTER IGNATIUS.

HER RULER GAVE ME
MY TOUGH KNUCKLES.

WENT TO HEAVEN
OF GOD THE FATHER.

I WORRY I NEVER GOT
STARTED WITH MY LIFE.

OH, BALLS.

HEY, WHEN I WAS
HOSPITALIZED

AS A WELTERWEIGHT BOXER
FROM EDDIE "KID" WAYLENS

GIVING ME THE BEATING
OF MY LIFE

AT SUNNYSIDE GARDEN,

YOU CLIMBED
THE TALL TV ANTENNA

AND TOOK DOWN
MY BLUE BARD HEN

THAT HAD STUCK ITSELF
ON THE ANTENNA

AND YOU STITCHED
THAT HEN UP.

ALSO, WHEN THE HAWK
KILLED THE PARENTS

OF THOSE 2 RED
CHECKERED HENS,

YOU HAND‐FED
ALL THEIR BABIES.

I SET THE BROKEN WING...

ON MY 200‐MILE WINNER.

YOU ALSO TOOK DOWN
THAT ARMORED CAR
STICKUP TEAM

THAT MURDERED
THOSE RETIRED COPS.

YOU ALSO BROKE
THE CASE ON THAT
SERIAL RAPIST MURDER

WHO HAD KILLED
THOSE 3 WOMEN.

I'M PROUD OF THE GUYS
I LOCKED UP OVER THE YEARS...

FOR KILLING KIDS.

YOU SHOULD BE, BOBBY.

Patsy: AHH, BUT
OTHER KIDS YOU HELPED.

YOU DONATED BIRDS
TO THOSE KIDS IN
THE RED HOOK PROJECTS

TO KEEP THEM
OUT OF TROUBLE.

YOU ARRANGED
THOSE PROJECT KIDS

COULD FLY BIRDS
ON THE ROOF OF HICKEY
CONCRETE COMPANY.

NOW, IF A BIRD GOES
OVER THE HORIZON,

DOES IT CONTINUE TO
FLY, GROW, AND CHANGE?

KEEP FLYING...FLY!

EVEN IN A STRANGE PLACE
AND A BIRD DISAPPEARS,

ISN'T IT GOING HOME AND
TO BE OK, FOR EXAMPLE?

YOUR CHILD YOU DREAMED
WATCHING GROWING UP.

I WANTED TO MAKE
A FAMILY WITH DIANE.

I CAN TELL YOU TODAY
HE TURNED OUT A FINE BOY.

PLAYS STICKBALL
AND POP WARNER FOOTBALL
LIKE HIS DAD.

CAN I SEE MY BOY?

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
YOUR BOY CONSTANTLY.

CAN I SEE MY BOY
BRIEFLY NOW?

YES, YOU MAY.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF HER.

[GASPING]

Patsy: I ALSO WANT TO
PRESENT YOU YOUR PARENTS,

WHO REMAIN THE SAME AGE
AS WHEN YOU BEST
KNEW YOUR FATHER.

NOW, MARY, YOU WERE AFRAID
YOU DIDN'T HELP HER ENOUGH
AS SHE PASSED,

AND THAT I'M NEVER GOING
TO CONVINCE YOU ABOUT.

DIANE, THANK GOD, YOU REMAIN
HAVING EACH OTHER.

AND SHE'S RIGHT WITH YOU,
BESIDE YOUR BED,

LIKE SINCE
YOU FIRST SAW HER.

LIKE A HURT BIRD.

LIKE MY BEAUTIFUL
BLUE BARD HEN.

AND I CERTAINLY TAKE IT
YOU APPRECIATE
ALL SHE'S BEEN TO YOU.

OH, YES.

ALL RIGHT. NOW,
I TAKE IT YOU'VE GROWN,

AND I CAN LEAVE YOU
ON YOUR OWN.

[LABORED BREATHING]

IT'S ALL RIGHT, BOBBY.

EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, THANKS VERY MUCH.

[LABORED BREATHING]

BOBBY?

SHALL I SCRATCH
YOUR HAND?

WHAT‐‐WHAT DO
YOU NEED, BOBBY?

WHAT IS IT?

DO YOU WANT ME
TO TAKE YOUR RING?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

LOOK, BOBBY.

LOOK, BOBBY.
