he spotted me he

he he didn't make the exchange because

the driver took off

malala you're not buying any of this are

you i

believe you think you saw harden if it

wasn't him why do you run

because if i saw someone like you

chasing after me i'd run too no

it wasn't like that grady

you know sometimes our emotions make our

eyes play tricks on us

like all those people who think they see

elvis come on this isn't elvis dammit

this is the guy

who set my parents up to die he's

hardened

what about harden i saw him be

you saw hardened yeah

i was jogging in newtown i was jogging

he tried to make an exchange of this guy

in a delivery truck

he saw me he ran come on grady don't

they make you wear headgear at that dojo

i'm serious come on granny maybe you

were tired you uh you made a mistake

no i didn't make a mistake i know what i

saw

we saw harden get hit by a car we saw

him die right in front of us

i know what i saw arden was good

but he wasn't that good

the guy is alive

i wish i could say that the miracles of

modern medicine have found our way to

this bed sergeant

but unfortunately he's no better off

than the day that car put him here

he's still in a coma well it hardens

stirs if he's so much

blessed you've given me this speech

every week for the last year and a half

i'm sorry if anything changes you'll be

the first to know

[Music]

[Applause]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

i'll get the car

excuse me man excuse me

you get permission from your doctor to

leave this building

ma'am i'm talking to you

hey wait a minute

[Music]

[Music]

you're supposed to wait inside is there

a problem

not a one level

there's been an escape from the prison

board at methodist hospital with one man

shot

the escapees thomas mccartney considered

[Music]

man just doesn't wake up from a coma and

walk away not even hard and he had to

have help maybe i should have said

something i mean i've always wondered

about dr wright

we all kind of thought it was strange

how much time she would spend in mr

harvey's room and no one picked up on

his physical improvement maybe she

drugged him to mask it it's possible

medication would suppress is vital none

of the other doctors ever did their own

examination

she was always very protective of her

patients especially him i don't doubt it

what'd you find out about doctor right

no that nobody's seen or heard from her

she didn't show up for a shift running

watson warrants on her already honest

you know the media is going to be

banging the door down on this one

yeah we're going to have to we're going

to have to stop it okay put a lid on it

yes sir

i bet they wish now they kept the guard

in his room the guy who got shot

no he was just hospital security

then what guard the one they put outside

hardin's room a few months back

i don't know why they took him off he

was always scarce sergeant especially

when you came around

maybe it was one of ours no if a metro

cop had been guarding hard and i'd

known about it he was some kind of

federal agent

the guard was federal he was always

bragging about it flashing his badge

you know hitting on the nurses what's

going on

i don't know

but i'm sure it's all gonna find out

what the hell's going on here you

remember agent smith like a bad dream

it's okay lieutenant i take that as a

compliment

i want an answer

if you won't tell him i will

tell me what sit down at it i'll stand

look when that car crash put harden into

the coma we put the word out that he was

dead

so that if he did wake up we could cut a

deal with them to turn state's evidence

against the mob

old news some six months ago i received

a call from a dr wright informing me

that hardin had momentarily come out of

his coma

six months ago why wasn't i informed

because it's a federal matter

harden is my case always has been you

know about this

no i didn't naturally we monitored the

situation

dr wright promised to alert us if hard

never came out of his coma again

according to her he never did yeah well

according to the wolf there are no sheep

missing either

mistakes are made up mistakes

these guys have unleashed a plague

charlie you know about this all the time

and still you yanked harden's guard

federal cutbacks we had no other choice

but to rely on the hospital's own

security

security right a four dollar an hour

rent a cop

and you let the guy get murdered

hang by your phone smith i'll give you a

call when i find harden the hardened

case is now a federal matter

what he's too valuable we're playing

this one right down the line

meaning i'm squeezed out maybe not the

good lieutenant here is loaned to some

office space

so if you're real good boudreau we might

let you tag along

great sarge

we got a problem yeah tell me all about

it

i'm going to blanket dr wright bank

accounts phone records credit cards

everything i want it all i wanted

yesterday sarge

what's the matter the lid's been blown

the hardened story's all over the tv

i figure a few more character witnesses

put some evidence together i'll be ready

to put my

case together no rush as soon as you're

ready i'll call my friend in circuit

court and he'll arrange everything

we're gonna get through this together

you know

you've really put yourself on the line

for me mars

that's because you're innocent and i

believe in you

i don't know what i do without you now

you're so beautiful

[Laughter]

how could anyone ever believe you're a

killer oh they didn't

take time to know me like you did mars

that's why we have to be on the outside

to

clear my name i narrowed down that list

of attorneys

everyone you ask for each an expert in

felony appeals

tragedy at methodist hospital where

today a security guard was shot and

killed by an escaped patient

the assailant has been identified as one

thomas hardin

a notorious federal felon who has been

comatose for some 18 months prior to

today

for me you used all the towels

oh my god according to one eyewitness

heart shot to death and i quote with the

ease of a man

who had done it a thousand times

oh honey that's okay i found a towel

the assailant has been identified as one

thomas hardin

a notorious federal felon who has been

comatose for some 18 months prior to

today

you know i'm sorry granny

you son of a [ __ ]

look i was just trying to get away from

me

come on let me explain why why so you

can pump gullible grady full of more of

your lies you forget it

come on grady you lied to me you lied to

my

face i was trying to protect you that's

all

protect me well you think i still need

your protection like i'm still that

little stupid eight-year-old kid

i thought hardin would die i i didn't

see the point in i you

you didn't trust me is what you didn't

do i trust you

and i trust you which is not about

harden

my parents are dead because of him

and you're ready to do exactly what i

feared you'd do kill him you had no

right to keep me in the dark

now you get out of my way grady you get

out of my way

so i can take care of the only reason i

ever came back to this lousy place

grady grady

adam adams this is our fight boy

no my bar my friend's my fight i don't

have any friends here

yeah you may not give a damn but i sure

as hell do you get out of my way

so you can go and get yourself killed

stop it look

i'm not gonna let you i'm not gonna let

you go hunting down how are you gonna

stop me

i'll do whatever it takes to save you

from yourself even send you to jail

i want to know exactly what went down

when you saw heart

you know had a lot of time to think

about it while i was locked in that jail

cell last night

you're right i made a mistake

i didn't see anything damn it grady tell

me what you know

well you honestly think this is gonna

work i can keep you off the streets

keep you out of hardened path for a few

days it'll work

oh why don't we ask the lieutenant pine

adam no hey you better stay back charlie

i'm dangerous what's going on here

assault on a police officer for starters

adam

i know this is about harden it's a legit

charge charlie

come on i was around when you and gritty

tangled with hard and i know the history

and you'll remember that great he was a

little on the unstable side i know

i also know i don't use the badge to

settle personal scores damn it man

you spring great he goes hunting i don't

we can't hold them

it's not legal i know it and you know it

jameson ah you're free to go hallelujah

with a warning you get anywhere near

harden and we'll put you away for real

understand

while the tenants like i told him

i saw her and get hit by a car

he's dead

bad news sergeant just found dr wright

well motel owner id harden said he was

polite

you've gone budrow just like i told you

he left your farewell card

the drill you lose again love loveheart

as if he left the city

now he's gone he got a flight for new

caledonia an hour ago

we're not stupid i had my people check

dr wright's credit cards too

he used one to buy the ticket when he

lands we nail him

i don't know it's too easy man it's too

packed

what's that supposed to mean a guy comes

out of a coma six months ago

con's dr wright helping him rehab

figures he'd be

strong enough to walk out there in three

months so

so it's been six months why didn't he

walk either the day he was strong enough

for

five weeks ago with two weeks ago

halley's playing bed sheet bingo with dr

right

wrong romance doesn't figure with this

guy the only thing that matters to

harden is the score

he's got a plan charlie like what

when we took harden down last year we

cleared him out financially so

so what he needs is a huge payday

something he can disappear on

permanently right yeah he plans a hit

from his coma bed

why not it's the perfect cover man

i'm telling you the reason hardin left

that hospital when he did was because

he's got a plan

he left cause you came in the door i

came in the door once a week every week

waiting for that deviant to wake up he

woke up you let him go guys enough

oh you're a little furious cute but it's

off base

all right you tell me agent smith huh

what the hell do you really know about

heart

i know his file backward and forward

congratulations have you ever seen him

uh blow up in the car one minute

then he turns right around he's shooting

at you the next is there a point here

you may know his fire i've been inside

his head

believe me something you don't ever want

to underestimate

fine now you walk your beat and pound

your pavement look under every little

loco rock for harding but while you're

wasting your time doing it

we'll be scooping them up in baggage

claims

[Music]

you know something tells me you're not

looking for an accountant

yeah well you pay me i don't even need a

bank

look grady don't just don't try and stop

me all right malloy boudreau already

tried that and you saw where i got him

adam did what he did because he loves

you ah what lie to me

yes and arrest you

question his actions grady but don't

question his motives and what about my

motives huh you know the boudreau

hardin's just another loose end well to

me

[Music]

to me heart is the worst thing that ever

happened in my life

i don't think pedro knows what that

feels like

he knows how it feels to lose someone

close so do i greeting i know it hurts

will you be back tonight

i don't know

that is the look of a man that knows

something

i just found out from the hospital that

dr wright received a rash of phone calls

from our bank

i'm hooked two days ago

a million dollars was electronically

deposited into rights account

my guess is it's a down payment for it a

million is a lot of money even to a

rothman that's

a lot of money yeah but yesterday she

transferred the same million into a new

trustee account in new caledonia

well i wonder the feds think harden's

headed there believe me it's

misdirection

trace the movement find out where the

money came from we find out who hardens

work

on it

rothman

yeah okay uh serge it's malloy she

sounds pretty upset

malloy when did he leave

all right let's just pray that i find

grady before he finds harden

smith wants them followed

[Applause]

now

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hey kid nice to see you kid

as you can see by now i'm fit as a

fiddle not for long

damn

yeah you're not feeling bad about the

past are you

well why don't we see thank you

get up kid you got to get on with your

life

you know what i always say live for the

day and dream about tomorrow

yes because why don't you kiss your

dreams

stop i'll break his neck

oh no please not so soon

i just got back from the dead you know

hey it's been a real kid

maybe the next time we'll have a little

chat you know about the

good old days vietnam

we'll seal the island if you have to but

find them damn it

oh great hardin puts on a disguise walks

off the plane and disappears right under

the noses of the new caledonian

authorities

the scars yeah yeah our men found some

makeup and hair dye in the plane's

washroom

they're scouring the island for them now

they're wasting their time he was never

on the plane

his fingerprints were found on the

bottle of hair coloring

don't you get it smith it's simple

slider pardon paid someone to use the

airline tickets and leave the makeup

behind so you chase a phantom

that's ridiculous no it's not ridiculous

it's classic harden

you should be tracking him from his last

known whereabouts the hotel where dr

wright was murdered

you do what you have to sergeant but

while i'm in charge of this

investigation

my team does things my way all your will

do is get somebody else killed

i've had enough in there i've had enough

of you

hey hey come on now this man is out of

control lieutenant

i want him away from my people in my

case could you just

excuse us just for a minute okay

please

what the hell is wrong with you smither

i'm rotting this whole thing

square peg brown hole you've run up

against us a dozen times i'm never

seeing this out of control

it's about greedy isn't it

i lied to him charlie

he's out of control if he gets himself

killed it's all my fault

you really think harden's here i know

what he is

okay you do what you need to do

step on smith's toes and i can't bail

you out of it again

no thanks

so i did it i ate all my cereal and i

found the prize

well speak english welcome i traced

harden's moulad

and a working trail lead straight to the

potato district

all the way to the city's number one

irish mobster

[Music]

just fix it

sir you can't just go in there i'm

already here mr rafferty i'm sorry

all right marlon detective boudreau and

i are old acquaintances

whatever it is boudreaux i do not have

time for it today

you'll make time look i got a cooler on

the fritz

if i don't get it fixed soon i'm gonna

have four tons of catch here greener

than the rolling hills that kill there

where's hard who the guy you hired to

make the hit

oh please this is more of this rapid as

a mobster stuff is it

look i'm trying to run a fish plant i'm

trying to earn an honest living

and two grand juries felt the same way i

wonder what the grand jury would think

about you making a down payment on a

hitman i'm

hearing terrible nonsense that patrol

you put a million dollars into an

officer to count the name of dr marcy

wright

dr wright oh sure she gave me a new nose

wasn't worth a million and then what's

the last to do about these skyrocketing

medical costs

i want answers rafferty i didn't hire no

hitman

look around you patrol i'm in the fish

business you want answers about albacore

the like i can help you but this stuff

but uh

it's hardened i don't know

so unless you're sporting a warrant or

uh maybe you got a backup coolant system

i can use

i suggest you get the hell off of my

property

if a body drops rapidly i swear

this won't be the only thing dead around

here

it's really my wife who said we needed a

weapon well with all the recent trouble

and all

very smart lady very smart indeed look i

got just what you need

the bigger they are the harder it makes

them fall

that weapon is a repeater right she she

said to make sure that it had repeating

capabilities

you mean automatic yeah repeat about 20

rounds a second

five grand it is all yours sounds

reasonable

where do the bullets go

30 round clips you just

slap them in there

so i just point this at someone and pull

the trigger and

and it kills them kill anybody you want

better than hell

not-so-small matter of a six-month

investigation on rafferty

heads of all the crime families
