Saving Grace s01e04 Episode Script
Keep Your Damn Wings Off My Nephew
- [ Gunshot .]
- Damn it.
- You're doing great, man.
Square in the chest.
- I was aiming for his head.
- Who is he? - Charlie Smith from sixth grade.
Mmm.
For looking up your skirt.
- And telling everyone I had on pink underwear.
- Mmm.
- What about you? - McVeigh.
- Mmm.
You think this is healthy? - Probably not.
- Right on, sister.
- How about me? Okay, nice tight grip.
Take a good aim.
Steady squeeze.
- Who are you shooting at? - McVeigh.
He's holding a baby.
- Where do I shoot? - You don't.
- What if I have to? - You still don't.
Too dangerous for the baby.
- He's gonna get away and hurt someone else.
- Okay.
Bridge of the nose.
It's your best chance of scrambling his brains before he gets a round off.
I am not letting you teach my kids how to shoot.
- Oh, nice.
- Whoa.
[ Cell Phone Ringing .]
Hanadarko.
Yes, sir.
How you doing? How's Wade? What? Mr.
Tyrell, your son is our only witness.
He doesn't testify, we got no case.
Did-Did something happen? Oh.
Can I come over? Later then.
I'm-I'm glad you called.
- Clay! - [ Horn Honks .]
Jesus Christ, Clay.
What are you doing? I-I didn't want her to get run over.
Her leash came untied.
Look, man.
You don't disappear on me.
You don't do that.
And you don't talk to people you don't know.
- I'm sorry, Aunt Grace.
- What'd that guy say to you? - He just asked for directions.
- Directions to where? - Dorchester Drive.
- Where on Dorchester Drive? Come on, Clay.
Tell me exactly what he said.
He asked, ''How do I get to Dorchester Drive?'' And then you hollered at me.
- What's going on? - Someone must have liked her leash.
[ Grace.]
You should keep a closer eye on your dog, ma'am.
- Let's go.
- But what about pizza? [ Grace.]
Change of plans.
Bet I got your attention now.
[ Acoustic Guitar.]
[ Man .]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, ''I don't even think that God can save me'' - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me [ Man In Distance.]
Rodriguez, come on out.
- [ Security Door Buzzer Buzzes .]
- [ Door Opens .]
[ Sighs .]
I just saw you out on the street talking to a kid, which we both know is impossible.
So what the hell's going on? - You smoked up? - And you saw me too.
- What were you doing an hour ago? - Sleeping.
- You have a dream, Leon? Tell me about it.
- Maybe I don't feel like it.
You're on death row for killing a prison guard, asshole.
Answer the question or end your day in I.
C.
U.
because those guys out there are not gonna hear your screams.
- I was on a bus drinking lemonade.
- What else? - Dude's messing with you.
- Earl.
- What'd you see me doing? - You asked for directions to Dorchester Drive.
- What's on Dorchester? - I don't know.
- You remember talking to a kid? - No.
- You sure? - No.
It was a dream.
Some shit you remember.
Some shit you don't.
Like getting run over by some cop.
I barely remember you doing that to me a couple months ago.
That why you set a trap for the boy? You want to know my dreams, ask Earl.
- Haven't seen him lately.
- You piss him off? Isn't hard to do.
Yeah.
For an angel, he's awful touchy.
You don't want to be pissing off your last-chance angel too much.
You don't want to piss me off, Leon.
You have any more dreams, stay away from kids.
Or else what? You're gonna beat me? That's not gonna make my life that much worse, bitch.
You have a son.
Benjamin.
Your ex-wife brings him to see you twice a month.
-[ Radio Chatter, Indistinct .]
- The windows we can replace, but this- I'm so sorry, Mr.
Tyrell.
But the trial is in two days.
- If Wade doesn't testify, Carl Sperry walks.
- He wants to testify.
I want you to promise me that he'll be safe.
Hi, Detective Hanadarko.
This is Sarah.
I'm so sorry, Wade.
- She wasn't sick.
She was only three years old.
- Probably poison.
- Where'd you find her? - On the patio.
I'll take a look.
What about the bricks? -They started coming through the windows a couple weeks ago.
-Anything else? Uh, phone calls all night.
They hang up.
They blast music.
- And this.
- Where'd you find this? - Mailbox.
This morning.
- When? - Why didn't you call me? - You said this kind of thing happens a lot.
I also said for you to call me if it happens to you.
We can help you.
You're not in this alone.
We know that.
God's always with us.
Right, Dad? Y-You don't understand, Wade.
Opening statements start on his 1 8th birthday.
I know.
D.
A.
explain why? - Yes.
He wants an adult on the stand.
- That's right.
We have done everything you've asked.
Now I'm asking you, are you gonna protect my son? I don't- I don't need protection.
- You need to close your door- - [ Door Lock Clicks .]
and lock it.
You need to draw your curtains and stay away from them.
Come on, Dad.
God will protect us from Carl Sperry, right? We're gonna shut out God's beautiful world? - We're gonna start using barriers to God? - Wade - if God wants to get in, he is not gonna use the front door.
- [ Lock Clicks .]
[ Grace.]
If our witness doesn't testify, this piece of shit walks.
[ Grace.]
If our witness doesn't testify, this piece of shit walks.
- Carl Sperry.
- Real bad guy.
A case about a year ago, right? Killed a paramedic? Yeah.
Paramedic was 26 years old.
Just had a baby.
- How'd it go down? - Carl Sperry called 91 1 .
Waited for the ambulance to show up just so he could raid the drug box.
Our paramedic fought back.
Sperry slit his throat.
Witness saw the whole thing.
Our victim's little girl just had her first birthday.
- Nice try.
- How's it working? You know what I'm gonna say, Grace.
I know what you're supposed to say.
But there must have been a dozen people saw Carl.
Only one brave enough to speak up.
This is how we reward him? Witness intimidation is a fact of life.
You've got to handle your witness, Grace.
It's more than intimidation.
It's threats.
They killed his dog.
Come on, Kate.
Captain.
He needs protection.
You know, we owe him that.
We owe protective custody to any witness who's being threatened.
None of them get it.
- Who's gonna pay for it? - Won't cost a thing.
-I can't authorize it.
- Understood.
-I can't authorize it.
- Understood.
And I can't order you or any of your squad to do whatever it takes to protect that witness.
- Is that clear? - Yes, ma'am.
- You sure you know what I'm saying here? - Let me get the door for you.
So who wants to babysit? Who wants to lay the smackdown on Carl Sperry? Gotta be one of his crew.
I'm still working, uh, paper on our last case.
I don't know.
You thought about the liability issues? Yeah.
What if something happened to Wade on our watch? Yeah.
I mean if we get sued, we gotta pay the legal fees.
Are you shitting me? What's the matter with you guys? - You want to see Carl Sperry walk? - We're not saying that.
- Then what are you saying? - We're just saying it's fun to see you beg.
- Before we volunteered.
- [ All Laughing .]
Cool, man.
How do you want to work this? - We gotta move Wade.
- [ Bobby .]
Where? - Perry's not gonna authorize a safe house.
- He can stay with me.
- Oh, that's a bad idea, Grace.
- Well, you got any other ideas? Hey, this kid didn't ask for this.
He's doing us a favor, doing the right thing.
We need to move him.
- It's still a bad idea.
- Yeah, I know.
- My maid sprained her ankle.
- Ah, thanks.
That's Big-head Gus-head, a.
k.
a.
Gus.
Hey, a.
k.
a.
Gus.
You can't tell anyone where you are.
Not even your dad.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Guest room's down the hall.
We'll have to share the bathroom.
- You drink alcohol? - Not me.
Had some friends over last night.
Well, I'll add them to my prayer list if you give me their names.
Earl and Rhetta.
Uh, Detective Hanadarko, do you mind if I put this up in my room? Knock yourself out.
Wade, what's my name? - Yes, ma'am.
I know, but- - What's my name? - Grace.
- If we're gonna be roommates for a few days - Grace.
- If we're gonna be roommates for a few days - we might as well just- - [ Clanking .]
Huh? What- Shit.
- What'd you say to my dad? - What are you doing here? He grounded me.
For life now, probably.
Which explains why you're at my house this time of night? - Hi.
- Hi.
[ Knocking .]
- Hey.
- Thanks for coming over.
- I thought you were kidding.
- I won't be long.
- He converted you yet? - To what? I don't know.
He make you, uh regret anything you like to do? - Especially with me? - Yes, Ham.
From now on, only our souls can screw.
[ Tires Screeching .]
Hanging out with you, Aunt Grace, is supposed to be fun.
I just want you to be careful, okay? Things can get a little rough out there,you know? You never ratted me out to my dad before.
Never thought I needed to before.
-Just because I talked to some guy? - Some stranger.
You were right there.
Right across the street.
I didn't go anywhere with him.
What's the big deal? The big deal is you don't talk to strangers.
- He could have killed somebody for all you know.
- I'm in so much trouble.
What happened with your dad today? - He came and got me at Penn Square Mall.
- So? - Neely was there.
- Neely? What happened to Violet? Neely's 1 4.
Okay, you missed your chance to make your move on an older woman.
You'll get another shot.
[ Tires Squealing .]
Aunt Grace, the fun is back.
- Do not move one inch.
- Yes, ma'am.
Not one inch.
Where's Leon Cooley? Where he usually is, I suppose.
Death row.
Keep him away from my nephew.
Oklahoma City ain't that big, Grace.
I imagine you run into folks you know all the time.
Half a million folks.
That's pretty big.
- Still, folks run into each other.
- You got my attention, okay? You leave Clay out of this.
You got my attention.
- What do you want? - Hungry? - Nah.
- Yes, you are.
Here, take it.
Good to see some hunger from you, Grace.
Okay, here's what I want.
- I want you and Leon Cooley to work together.
- Doing what? Well, it ain't learning the two-step.
You're gonna have to take it from here.
I'm off to Madrid.
- Think this is your stop.
- Keep your damn wings off my nephew, Earl.
It's gotta have something to do with God.
Yeah.
- Maybe he wants us to pray together.
- That ain't happening.
- You got any ideas? - Yeah.
I'm seeing parts of your dreams.
- You see me and Tanika? - No.
- That's good.
- When you were on the bus with Earl, where did you go? - Penn Square.
- Penn Square Mall? Yeah.
Bought a pair of jeans at the Gap.
- Earl picked up some T-shirts.
- You talk to a kid? No.
Then we drove to a taco stand.
Earl can eat.
Dude ate 1 31 tacos.
- See any kids? Talk to any kids? - I said no.
Why do you keep asking me? You think I'd hurt some kid? I was with Earl on a bus.
We went shopping.
We ate.
Then I ended up in front of some building with a purple door.
- Earl still with you? - No.
But I've seen that purple door before in my dreams.
Whenever I start to open it my ass is planted right back inside these walls.
- Anything else you remember? - A big clock.
A dog.
A brown dog with a really long tongue.
[ Chuckles .]
Maybe you're the one smoked up.
[ Chuckles .]
Yeah.
List of Carl Sperry's visitors from the past few months.
- Anyone look good? - Yeah, everyone.
Guy's a goddamn junkie.
Most of his friends are junkies.
Any one of these assholes could be the one threatening Wade.
Josie Simmons.
I remember her.
She tried to alibi Sperry.
- Dumb as dirt.
- [ Together.]
Moe Buffett.
- Another fine waste of a human being.
- Yeah, I thought he was dead.
-Hmm.
My favorite? Every Sunday, -Mom.
- Here comes her little boy now.
- Come on.
- Here comes her little boy now.
- Come on.
[ Man .]
Through here.
[ Chuckles .]
You know, lots of people love me.
I can't help it if they get all protective over me.
- You talk Moe into something stupid? - No, man.
Moe's got his own shit.
Where's my cigarette, huh? You promised me a smoke, like, an hour ago.
Smoking's illegal in this building, Carl.
You seem tense.
- Something got you upset? - [ Scoffs .]
I ain't upset.
I heard the prosecution's asking for the needle.
That would sure upset me.
I hate needles.
You got the wrong man, my friend.
I'm innocent.
How's your girlfriend? How's Josie? I gotta tell you, Carl.
She is one fine piece of ass.
I wonder who's been hitting that while you're in prison.
- There ain't no substitute for big daddy.
- Wait.
Who's big daddy? Looks like I got a longer reach than you thought.
- [ Wade.]
Did you sleep okay? I know.
- [ Whimpers .]
I miss her too.
I got a dog here.
Yeah, he's great.
But he kinda- he kinda slobbers a lot.
Okay.
Yeah.
Me too.
I love you, Dad.
Bye.
- Got it? - Huh? Yeah, thanks.
Cool.
Uh,you don't have to do that, Wade.
Serving others is a blessing.
I don't mind.
That's what you're doing by testifying, you know? Lots of people would have backed out.
Yeah.
I'm not afraid.
I want to honor my Father.
That's why I'm here.
- God's got his hand on all this.
- Yeah.
[ Male Announcer.]
Calling an audible at the line of scrimmage- Is Detective Hanadarko kinda- kinda wild? [ Chuckles .]
No.
No.
She's, you know- She's fun.
Huh.
Does she believe in God? You gotta ask her.
Hey, man, is sports okay? - What do you watch? - Oh.
Christian television.
- [ Turns TVOff.]
- You know poker? [ Chuckles .]
The devil's game.
Nah.
Not if you play it for fun.
Check it out.
Come on.
Hey, I got a game.
- It's called Save Me.
- Save Me? Yeah.
Each player gets five cards.
And two of a kind beats one of a kind.
And three of a kind beats two of a kind.
Four of a kind beats three of a kind.
Yeah, I've played this game.
Yeah, great.
Winner gets to recite whatever scripture they want.
Okay.
All right.
How long you been married? - Your wedding ring.
- Ayear and a half.
Wow.
Marriage is a beautiful thing.
- What's your wife's name? - Darlene.
Three jacks.
- Two sevens.
- [ Laughs .]
What scripture you want to recite? Oh.
Um, ''Thou shalt not kill.
'' [ Chuckles .]
Yeah.
That's a commandment.
Would you like to use my Bible? [ Rhetta .]
So it's real.
How did you find it? Yellow Pages.
It's been here for years.
Did you test the taco Earl gave me? Yeah.
Just a normal beef taco.
You hungry? - Geez.
- Here we are.
- He's blackmailing me.
- Angelic blackmail.
- And with my nephew.
- Smart.
Work with Leon Cooley.
What kind of bullshit is that? He doesn't remember seeing Clay.
Doesn't remember seeing me.
What else does he got to do except yank my chain? I'm probably entertainment for him.
Crazy white bitch coming in again.
- He does remember Penn Square.
Maybe that means something.
- Dorchester Drive, 1 31 tacos? - Purple door and a brown dog with a long tongue.
- It's a riddle.
And you and a condemned killer need each other to solve it.
It's interesting.
Not when he drags my nephew into it.
Dream or no dream, I know what Leon Cooley's capable of.
You get anything off that death threat to Wade? The paper, the red crayon, you can get anywhere.
No fingerprints.
I haven't gotten to the blood you took from the dog.
Yeah.
That was fun.
[ Sighs .]
You want to come over tonight? - No, thanks.
Is this line even moving? - I'm cooking spaghetti.
- I love your spaghetti.
- Great.
6:00? Sure.
I kinda feel like getting smashed.
I'll bring some tequila and this hysterical porno Ronnie found on the Internet.
- Uh- - What's wrong? - I'm just thinking, I don't know, a quiet night.
- Oh, Wade could watch it with us.
Spaghetti.
You're shameless, you know that? - Please, save me from Jesus boy.
- No.
You get the human witnesses.
I get the ones on glass slides.
[ Chuckles .]
Damn, these must be some good tacos.
Billy and K-Pop want Carl out so they can kick his ass.
- I know that.
Y'all ask them? - Yeah.
What about Moe Buffett? Moe Buffett's a bad ass.
He and Carl are like this.
Come on,Josie.
Don't you miss your man? Don't you want him home? I told you.
I'm through with Carl Sperry.
I hate his guts.
- Since when? - Months ago.
He's a pig.
Y'all met him.
Didn't you think he was awful? What do you think, Detective Stillwater? I think I'm confused.
- She visits Carl in prison every week.
-Josie? - Y'all keep track of this stuff? - There's video too.
- Carl makes me come see him.
- How does he do that? Like he's got some kind of spell on me.
That makes sense,Josie.
It's the spell that made you go after Wade Tyrell and try to scare him out of testifying.
I didn't throw any bricks or kill a dog.
I'm not stupid.
His new girlfriend? That bitch is stupid.
Sam Delpino comes to see him twice a week.
I ran the name.
No record.
- Here's D.
M.
V.
- [ Bobby .]
This is Sperry's new girlfriend? - Prison can change a guy's taste, I guess.
- That's a lot of change.
[ Chuckles .]
Anything on Moe Buffett? - Because he and Carl Sperry are ''like this.
'' - Still tracking him down.
- [ Kate.]
How's it going? - [ Bobby .]
Nice and quiet.
Something breaks, you're up next.
It's gonna take you away from your prep on your upcoming trial.
- Understood.
- Everything good to go? Father of our witness a little nervous, but we're working it out.
Sometimes the D.
A.
's office can help provide that feeling of, uh, safety and protection.
- Not gonna happen on this case.
- Witness is safe.
It's all good.
Let's hope it stays that way.
[ Bottles Clanking .]
- Ah, shit.
Wade.
- Sorry.
Sorry.
I was thirsty.
You got friends coming over? Yeah- No.
You know what? [ Chuckles .]
These are for me.
I thought you didn't drink alcohol.
Every now and then if I need to relax after a stressful day.
- Why don't you just pray? - Well I pray the beer is cold.
Does that count? - [ Chuckles .]
- [ Chuckles .]
You ever tasted beer? - No, ma'am.
- What's my name, Wade? Grace.
See what you think.
- Yuck! - Are you a virgin, Wade? Huh? - What are you doing here? - I'm in prison.
Nah, I'm in prison.
[ Panting .]
- For killing your nephew.
- [ Cell Phone Rings .]
- [ Gasps .]
- [ Ringing Continues .]
[ Ringing .]
[ Ringing .]
[ Ringing .]
- [ Toilet Flushes .]
- [ Woman On TV, Indistinct .]
[ Man On TV, Indistinct .]
- Morning.
- Good morning.
Where's Detective Hanadarko? Um, something happened last night, Wade.
Your dad's fine.
But somebody got into your house and tore it up pretty good.
And they did a bad job of trying to set it on fire.
- Wait.
My dad's okay? - Yeah.
He wasn't even home.
- Can I call him? - He'll call you in a little while.
But he told me to tell you not to worry.
Oh.
What do you think would have happened if he had been home? I think he would have gotten hurt, Wade.
Will you pray with me? Dear, God, thank you so much for everything that you've given me.
Even these days of trials and testing, Lord, because I know you are with me.
I ask, please, keep my father safe.
- [ Camera Shutter Clicks .]
- Keep any harm and all evil away from him.
Thank you so much for these police officers these good men and women who take care of us.
Please keep them safe too.
And, Lord, please forgive the misguided.
Bless the hearts of those who would hurt us.
The heart of Carl Sperry.
That they can learn of you too and the gift of your eternal salvation.
Amen.
Ever seen any of these lowlifes? - No.
Wait.
Uh- - Moe Buffett.
- What about him? - Uh, my church.
Last-Last week, Wade and I handed out doughnuts after the service.
I think he was there.
- You talk to him? - No.
Wade did.
He gave a pamphlet on our missionary work.
- Excuse me.
Detective Hanadarko? - I'll be right back.
You owe me a spaghetti dinner.
What about the dog's blood? You gonna tell Sex Crimes I couldn't do their child abuse case 'cause I'm working up blood from a dog? First impression.
When you look around, who did this? - A kid.
- Yeah.
Amateur.
- It still creeps me out.
- I'm-I'm gonna stick around.
- Give these to Bobby for me.
Ask him to run 'em by Wade.
- All right.
[ Man On Radio .]
Welcome to K-R-I-S-T.
Kicking off your morning with some soothing sounds for our savior.
- [ Woman On Radio Singing .]
- I'm sorry you're going through this, sir.
Oh, thanks.
- You have someplace to stay? - I'm fine.
- We can't protect you here.
- Wade turns 1 8 at midnight tonight.
- Promise me you won't let him out of your sight before midnight.
- We won't.
- Y-You can't stay here, sir.
- This is exactly where I should be.
- You have family? - Will you call me at midnight so I know he's okay? He'll be fine.
I'm gonna- I'm gonna call a locksmith and get you a real lock for your door.
- But you gotta use it.
- You don't understand! You're not listening to me! I'm listening.
When Wade was born, God told me he would never live to see his 1 8th birthday.
- God told you? -Just as clearly as I'm telling you this.
He spoke to me in my ear the very first time I ever held Wade.
For 1 7 years, I've been holding my breath fearing this moment.
And now the prophecy is coming true.
Please save my son.
- He's had a mental breakdown.
- He really believes Wade's gonna die before midnight.
The stress of the trial, the threats must have gotten to him.
He needs help.
- Because he heard God talking to him? - Yeah, that thing.
- I have an angel talking to me.
Am I nuts? - You have evidence of Earl.
-Does Mr.
Tyrell have any proof? -Well, if he does, I'm not gonna get it for him.
Wade will turn 1 8, testify.
Carl Sperry is gonna take the needle.
- Amen.
- Hallelujah.
What about your other favorite inmate? I've been too busy babysitting Wade.
I've been thinking about those 1 31 tacos.
And on my way in, I drove by 1 31 Dorchester.
- And? -Jiffy Lube.
[ Laughs .]
Of course.
I thought maybe there might be a purple door.
In the Bible, when you go through a door you move from one level of faith to the next.
- And purple is the color of Lent, a time of preparation.
- So? So maybe Earl wants you to find the purple door and open it for you and for Leon 'cause he can't do it himself.
- Kinda makes sense.
- Ah, I got an angel on my ass a whack job hears God talking to him and a killer on death row who shops at the Gap.
None of it makes sense.
Ask Earl the next time you see him if God ever talks to people.
It's not exactly what I had in mind for the next time that I see Earl.
Thanks, man.
- You ever seen this guy? - No, sir.
- Uh, maybe at your church.
- No, sir.
Uh, what about these women? Uh, her.
- Where? - At the dog park a couple times.
I never saw her with a dog.
[ Cell Phone Ringing .]
Yeah, Bobby? Is he sure? Okay, man.
Sounds good.
You having fun? - Think we got our lady.
- You want to take the lead? - Or you can.
- Yeah, thanks, man.
- People make mistakes.
- I know I've made a few.
People deserve a second chance.
- How'd you meet Carl? - InmateMate.
com.
A computer dating kick for prisoners? Carl is polite.
Appreciates me.
And I don't have to worry about where he is.
You give him money? Look, don't, ma'am.
Seriously, these guys use people.
Look, I don't like to see nice women get taken advantage of.
- No.
Take it easy.
- I'm sorry.
Sam, listen.
You've never been in any kind of trouble before.
Hooking up Carl, what are you doing? Nothing.
Where were you last night between 8:00 and 1 0:30? - Home.
- Alone? Yes, alone.
- Me and Rose, my kitty.
- You don't like dogs? No.
I'm a cat person.
Then what were you doing hanging out at a dog park talking to Wade Tyrell? - I wasn't.
- We got six eyewitnesses who say you were.
We saw the poison too.
We'll be able to exhume the dog and match it up, I suspect.
We'll get a warrant for your phone records see that you made a bunch of calls to the Tyrells.
So why don't we just cut to the chase here? Is it love? Sam? I mean,you love Carl so much you'll hurt an innocent kid who's just gonna tell the truth? - You go.
- No.
You go.
Shit.
- [ Ham .]
Stop or he'll shootI - Sam! I could have come over, Doug.
You know, you should-you should have called me.
Clay's home.
He's grounded for two weeks.
He's not going anywhere.
He shouldn't be alone.
Is there something about this guy he talked to that you haven't told me? - Do you know him? - No.
But I could.
He could be a serial killer or a pedophile.
[ Sighs .]
Clay had a nightmare last night.
- Clay's always had nightmares.
- Not like this.
He said the black guy was chasing him.
He woke up crying, calling out for his mom.
Said the guy chased him all the way to the Murrah Building where his mom was standing waiting to get him a social security card.
I thought he stopped dreaming about Mary Frances a long time ago.
He did.
I'm sorry, Doug, but Clay can't talk to people he doesn't know.
- He knows that now.
- You think he does.
But some pervert with a puppy or a story about something that makes sense to a kid, that's it.
They got him.
Transport him to another location.
You're lucky you get his bones back.
- Grace, did you say that to Clay? - No.
I'm saying it to you.
Just keep him close for awhile.
When you brought him home the other night, did you chase after a bus? For about two seconds.
[ Sighs .]
It's too much now, Grace.
I don't want you seeing Clay for awhile.
Okay? Just for awhile.
Okay? [ Sighs .]
[ Panting .]
God.
I know what you're doing.
I just got back from a family reunion with 47 Jews and one Baptist.
I don't even know what I'm doing.
- It's that thing in Brooklyn.
- Yeah.
Hillick.
The grandfather.
He won't acknowledge me half the time.
Thinks if he keeps reading the Torah over and over, I'll go away.
Hillick ain't spoke to me since 1 997.
But today he done good.
This lady that you want me to work with, she's a pushy bitch.
Grace? What makes you think that? And she's a cop too.
- You were a security guard before you ended up in here.
- I was in school.
I had a son and a wife to support.
It wasn't my dream job.
Cooley's Heating and Air Repair.
Yeah, something like that.
This kid she keeps asking me about, you gotta keep him away from me.
- You don't trust yourself? - No.
That why you been exercising? Trying to keep yourself awake? Two years, five months and five days, Leon.
I can't change the day you're gonna die.
That's way above my pay grade.
But I can help you get ready.
That pushy cop can help you too, if you'll let her.
I'm not ready? I gotta get to Holland.
You look like you could use a nap.
But I can't believe this I think I really did it now When can I wake up and feel relief [ Tires Screeching .]
[ Horn Honks .]
[ Honks .]
[ Tires Screeching .]
[ Door Closes .]
Ever see a more beautiful tulip? - You're an asshole.
- You need to broaden your vocabulary.
- Yes or no.
Is Clay safe? - I told you before, Grace.
God don't tell me everything.
Fact is, not being his favorite angel this month, he ain't told me much.
But do you honestly think God would harm a child just to wake you up? He's done worse things than that.
Here we go again with the Crusades.
Never gets old.
I'm talking about the everyday shit of life, Earl.
Kid working at a soup kitchen sees a paramedic almost get his head sliced off.
Eighty-one-year-old woman raped by three teenagers last week.
What's God got to say about that? Your nephew's fine.
How much do you know about Leon Cooley? - You know he killed a prison guard? - Yeah.
- With his teeth? - What else you know about him? I don't want to know anything more about him.
I don't want to know about his purple doors, his dreams.
None of it.
Fine.
You just keep driving around in circles then.
- [ Rock .]
- Grace.
Right.
Go to your right.
Right, right, right.
- Give me a hug.
- No.
Come on.
Ahh.
You gonna do your little groove? Come on.
Let's see.
Go.
What, are you guys doing a victory dance? It's about love, man.
It all comes back to love.
Yeah.
Sam only met Carl three months ago.
She said Carl put a spell on her.
I don't get it, man.
You get it? Carl Sperry.
- I don't get it either.
- [ Grace.]
I get it.
He's cute, in kind of a street way.
Too bad he has to face this.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey.
Oh, okay.
- [ Grace.]
Suckers.
- So are we off the clock, huh? Now that Sam's in custody? - Wade's safe and sound? - Bobby's taking him home right now.
He said that Wade's afraid of him.
He's never seen an Indian before.
- An Indian that's half Mexican? That's even scarier.
- Oh, come on.
[ Kate.]
Hey.
[ Stops .]
This, uh-This case, the one I'm not supposed to know anything about? Sam Delpino confessed to everything.
The threats, the dog, trashing the Tyrell house.
Case is closed.
Then why do I have about insisting that the threat to his son just got worse? - He's begged us not to bring him home.
- How did he sound? - Hysterical.
- Shit.
Guy may be losing it.
Good news.
The blood's the color of chocolate which probably means poisoning by nitrate, which is found in nurseries.
- The Tyrell dog.
- Thanks.
I'm so glad this trial is tomorrow - so we can get back to the work we're supposed to be doing.
- Hey, guys.
Bobby's not picking up his phone.
He's not picking up.
Okay.
Officer down.
Need a bus at 20065 North St.
Clair.
[ Male Dispatcher.]
Copy that.
You say 2-6-5? - Bobby.
- No, no, no, no.
That address is 20065.
200-65.
- Where's the witness? -Just got here.
Haven't cleared the house.
- Shit.
- Shit.
- What happened? - Lamp.
- [ Ham .]
ClearI - [ Grace.]
ClearI - Hey, you okay? - Bobby, where's Wade? - He took him.
- Where? Who? Grace.
- [ Ira .]
I told you.
- Mr.
Tyrell.
I told you to keep him away, to protect him.
The Lord is with us, Son.
He's here.
[ Wade.]
I know that.
- You are so precious to me.
- [ Grace.]
Sir we know who was threatening Wade.
It's over.
- Wade doesn't have to die.
- You still don't listen.
Today, God told me that I have to fulfill the prophecy myself.
God already knows you love him.
''This plan of mine is not what you would work out.
''Nor are my thoughts the same as yours.
''Just as heaven is higher than the earth, so my ways are above yours - and my thoughts above yours.
'' - He sent me here to stop you.
Why else would I be here? Mr.
Tyrell, this is God's will.
Me, here now.
- Dad, can we pray? - Yes.
Pray for me that with his grace I can do his will.
What's my name, Wade? Grace.
Her name is Grace.
[ Siren Blaring In Distance.]
Kneel down.
Kneel down.
[ Handcuffs Clinking .]
Shit, man.
Good thing my name isn't Shirley.
Maybe I should turn and walk away Maybe I should run but I'll probably bow my head and pray Maybe I'll search the lost and found [ Dog Barks .]
Maybe like two boxers bloodied dizzied by the seventh round Maybe circumstances make it easier to quit Maybe in a circle square pieces never fit But I want you to know I never walked away from the things I wanted Never walked away but I think I'm goin'to This time - This time - Time This time Ohh
- Damn it.
- You're doing great, man.
Square in the chest.
- I was aiming for his head.
- Who is he? - Charlie Smith from sixth grade.
Mmm.
For looking up your skirt.
- And telling everyone I had on pink underwear.
- Mmm.
- What about you? - McVeigh.
- Mmm.
You think this is healthy? - Probably not.
- Right on, sister.
- How about me? Okay, nice tight grip.
Take a good aim.
Steady squeeze.
- Who are you shooting at? - McVeigh.
He's holding a baby.
- Where do I shoot? - You don't.
- What if I have to? - You still don't.
Too dangerous for the baby.
- He's gonna get away and hurt someone else.
- Okay.
Bridge of the nose.
It's your best chance of scrambling his brains before he gets a round off.
I am not letting you teach my kids how to shoot.
- Oh, nice.
- Whoa.
[ Cell Phone Ringing .]
Hanadarko.
Yes, sir.
How you doing? How's Wade? What? Mr.
Tyrell, your son is our only witness.
He doesn't testify, we got no case.
Did-Did something happen? Oh.
Can I come over? Later then.
I'm-I'm glad you called.
- Clay! - [ Horn Honks .]
Jesus Christ, Clay.
What are you doing? I-I didn't want her to get run over.
Her leash came untied.
Look, man.
You don't disappear on me.
You don't do that.
And you don't talk to people you don't know.
- I'm sorry, Aunt Grace.
- What'd that guy say to you? - He just asked for directions.
- Directions to where? - Dorchester Drive.
- Where on Dorchester Drive? Come on, Clay.
Tell me exactly what he said.
He asked, ''How do I get to Dorchester Drive?'' And then you hollered at me.
- What's going on? - Someone must have liked her leash.
[ Grace.]
You should keep a closer eye on your dog, ma'am.
- Let's go.
- But what about pizza? [ Grace.]
Change of plans.
Bet I got your attention now.
[ Acoustic Guitar.]
[ Man .]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, ''I don't even think that God can save me'' - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me [ Man In Distance.]
Rodriguez, come on out.
- [ Security Door Buzzer Buzzes .]
- [ Door Opens .]
[ Sighs .]
I just saw you out on the street talking to a kid, which we both know is impossible.
So what the hell's going on? - You smoked up? - And you saw me too.
- What were you doing an hour ago? - Sleeping.
- You have a dream, Leon? Tell me about it.
- Maybe I don't feel like it.
You're on death row for killing a prison guard, asshole.
Answer the question or end your day in I.
C.
U.
because those guys out there are not gonna hear your screams.
- I was on a bus drinking lemonade.
- What else? - Dude's messing with you.
- Earl.
- What'd you see me doing? - You asked for directions to Dorchester Drive.
- What's on Dorchester? - I don't know.
- You remember talking to a kid? - No.
- You sure? - No.
It was a dream.
Some shit you remember.
Some shit you don't.
Like getting run over by some cop.
I barely remember you doing that to me a couple months ago.
That why you set a trap for the boy? You want to know my dreams, ask Earl.
- Haven't seen him lately.
- You piss him off? Isn't hard to do.
Yeah.
For an angel, he's awful touchy.
You don't want to be pissing off your last-chance angel too much.
You don't want to piss me off, Leon.
You have any more dreams, stay away from kids.
Or else what? You're gonna beat me? That's not gonna make my life that much worse, bitch.
You have a son.
Benjamin.
Your ex-wife brings him to see you twice a month.
-[ Radio Chatter, Indistinct .]
- The windows we can replace, but this- I'm so sorry, Mr.
Tyrell.
But the trial is in two days.
- If Wade doesn't testify, Carl Sperry walks.
- He wants to testify.
I want you to promise me that he'll be safe.
Hi, Detective Hanadarko.
This is Sarah.
I'm so sorry, Wade.
- She wasn't sick.
She was only three years old.
- Probably poison.
- Where'd you find her? - On the patio.
I'll take a look.
What about the bricks? -They started coming through the windows a couple weeks ago.
-Anything else? Uh, phone calls all night.
They hang up.
They blast music.
- And this.
- Where'd you find this? - Mailbox.
This morning.
- When? - Why didn't you call me? - You said this kind of thing happens a lot.
I also said for you to call me if it happens to you.
We can help you.
You're not in this alone.
We know that.
God's always with us.
Right, Dad? Y-You don't understand, Wade.
Opening statements start on his 1 8th birthday.
I know.
D.
A.
explain why? - Yes.
He wants an adult on the stand.
- That's right.
We have done everything you've asked.
Now I'm asking you, are you gonna protect my son? I don't- I don't need protection.
- You need to close your door- - [ Door Lock Clicks .]
and lock it.
You need to draw your curtains and stay away from them.
Come on, Dad.
God will protect us from Carl Sperry, right? We're gonna shut out God's beautiful world? - We're gonna start using barriers to God? - Wade - if God wants to get in, he is not gonna use the front door.
- [ Lock Clicks .]
[ Grace.]
If our witness doesn't testify, this piece of shit walks.
[ Grace.]
If our witness doesn't testify, this piece of shit walks.
- Carl Sperry.
- Real bad guy.
A case about a year ago, right? Killed a paramedic? Yeah.
Paramedic was 26 years old.
Just had a baby.
- How'd it go down? - Carl Sperry called 91 1 .
Waited for the ambulance to show up just so he could raid the drug box.
Our paramedic fought back.
Sperry slit his throat.
Witness saw the whole thing.
Our victim's little girl just had her first birthday.
- Nice try.
- How's it working? You know what I'm gonna say, Grace.
I know what you're supposed to say.
But there must have been a dozen people saw Carl.
Only one brave enough to speak up.
This is how we reward him? Witness intimidation is a fact of life.
You've got to handle your witness, Grace.
It's more than intimidation.
It's threats.
They killed his dog.
Come on, Kate.
Captain.
He needs protection.
You know, we owe him that.
We owe protective custody to any witness who's being threatened.
None of them get it.
- Who's gonna pay for it? - Won't cost a thing.
-I can't authorize it.
- Understood.
-I can't authorize it.
- Understood.
And I can't order you or any of your squad to do whatever it takes to protect that witness.
- Is that clear? - Yes, ma'am.
- You sure you know what I'm saying here? - Let me get the door for you.
So who wants to babysit? Who wants to lay the smackdown on Carl Sperry? Gotta be one of his crew.
I'm still working, uh, paper on our last case.
I don't know.
You thought about the liability issues? Yeah.
What if something happened to Wade on our watch? Yeah.
I mean if we get sued, we gotta pay the legal fees.
Are you shitting me? What's the matter with you guys? - You want to see Carl Sperry walk? - We're not saying that.
- Then what are you saying? - We're just saying it's fun to see you beg.
- Before we volunteered.
- [ All Laughing .]
Cool, man.
How do you want to work this? - We gotta move Wade.
- [ Bobby .]
Where? - Perry's not gonna authorize a safe house.
- He can stay with me.
- Oh, that's a bad idea, Grace.
- Well, you got any other ideas? Hey, this kid didn't ask for this.
He's doing us a favor, doing the right thing.
We need to move him.
- It's still a bad idea.
- Yeah, I know.
- My maid sprained her ankle.
- Ah, thanks.
That's Big-head Gus-head, a.
k.
a.
Gus.
Hey, a.
k.
a.
Gus.
You can't tell anyone where you are.
Not even your dad.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Guest room's down the hall.
We'll have to share the bathroom.
- You drink alcohol? - Not me.
Had some friends over last night.
Well, I'll add them to my prayer list if you give me their names.
Earl and Rhetta.
Uh, Detective Hanadarko, do you mind if I put this up in my room? Knock yourself out.
Wade, what's my name? - Yes, ma'am.
I know, but- - What's my name? - Grace.
- If we're gonna be roommates for a few days - Grace.
- If we're gonna be roommates for a few days - we might as well just- - [ Clanking .]
Huh? What- Shit.
- What'd you say to my dad? - What are you doing here? He grounded me.
For life now, probably.
Which explains why you're at my house this time of night? - Hi.
- Hi.
[ Knocking .]
- Hey.
- Thanks for coming over.
- I thought you were kidding.
- I won't be long.
- He converted you yet? - To what? I don't know.
He make you, uh regret anything you like to do? - Especially with me? - Yes, Ham.
From now on, only our souls can screw.
[ Tires Screeching .]
Hanging out with you, Aunt Grace, is supposed to be fun.
I just want you to be careful, okay? Things can get a little rough out there,you know? You never ratted me out to my dad before.
Never thought I needed to before.
-Just because I talked to some guy? - Some stranger.
You were right there.
Right across the street.
I didn't go anywhere with him.
What's the big deal? The big deal is you don't talk to strangers.
- He could have killed somebody for all you know.
- I'm in so much trouble.
What happened with your dad today? - He came and got me at Penn Square Mall.
- So? - Neely was there.
- Neely? What happened to Violet? Neely's 1 4.
Okay, you missed your chance to make your move on an older woman.
You'll get another shot.
[ Tires Squealing .]
Aunt Grace, the fun is back.
- Do not move one inch.
- Yes, ma'am.
Not one inch.
Where's Leon Cooley? Where he usually is, I suppose.
Death row.
Keep him away from my nephew.
Oklahoma City ain't that big, Grace.
I imagine you run into folks you know all the time.
Half a million folks.
That's pretty big.
- Still, folks run into each other.
- You got my attention, okay? You leave Clay out of this.
You got my attention.
- What do you want? - Hungry? - Nah.
- Yes, you are.
Here, take it.
Good to see some hunger from you, Grace.
Okay, here's what I want.
- I want you and Leon Cooley to work together.
- Doing what? Well, it ain't learning the two-step.
You're gonna have to take it from here.
I'm off to Madrid.
- Think this is your stop.
- Keep your damn wings off my nephew, Earl.
It's gotta have something to do with God.
Yeah.
- Maybe he wants us to pray together.
- That ain't happening.
- You got any ideas? - Yeah.
I'm seeing parts of your dreams.
- You see me and Tanika? - No.
- That's good.
- When you were on the bus with Earl, where did you go? - Penn Square.
- Penn Square Mall? Yeah.
Bought a pair of jeans at the Gap.
- Earl picked up some T-shirts.
- You talk to a kid? No.
Then we drove to a taco stand.
Earl can eat.
Dude ate 1 31 tacos.
- See any kids? Talk to any kids? - I said no.
Why do you keep asking me? You think I'd hurt some kid? I was with Earl on a bus.
We went shopping.
We ate.
Then I ended up in front of some building with a purple door.
- Earl still with you? - No.
But I've seen that purple door before in my dreams.
Whenever I start to open it my ass is planted right back inside these walls.
- Anything else you remember? - A big clock.
A dog.
A brown dog with a really long tongue.
[ Chuckles .]
Maybe you're the one smoked up.
[ Chuckles .]
Yeah.
List of Carl Sperry's visitors from the past few months.
- Anyone look good? - Yeah, everyone.
Guy's a goddamn junkie.
Most of his friends are junkies.
Any one of these assholes could be the one threatening Wade.
Josie Simmons.
I remember her.
She tried to alibi Sperry.
- Dumb as dirt.
- [ Together.]
Moe Buffett.
- Another fine waste of a human being.
- Yeah, I thought he was dead.
-Hmm.
My favorite? Every Sunday, -Mom.
- Here comes her little boy now.
- Come on.
- Here comes her little boy now.
- Come on.
[ Man .]
Through here.
[ Chuckles .]
You know, lots of people love me.
I can't help it if they get all protective over me.
- You talk Moe into something stupid? - No, man.
Moe's got his own shit.
Where's my cigarette, huh? You promised me a smoke, like, an hour ago.
Smoking's illegal in this building, Carl.
You seem tense.
- Something got you upset? - [ Scoffs .]
I ain't upset.
I heard the prosecution's asking for the needle.
That would sure upset me.
I hate needles.
You got the wrong man, my friend.
I'm innocent.
How's your girlfriend? How's Josie? I gotta tell you, Carl.
She is one fine piece of ass.
I wonder who's been hitting that while you're in prison.
- There ain't no substitute for big daddy.
- Wait.
Who's big daddy? Looks like I got a longer reach than you thought.
- [ Wade.]
Did you sleep okay? I know.
- [ Whimpers .]
I miss her too.
I got a dog here.
Yeah, he's great.
But he kinda- he kinda slobbers a lot.
Okay.
Yeah.
Me too.
I love you, Dad.
Bye.
- Got it? - Huh? Yeah, thanks.
Cool.
Uh,you don't have to do that, Wade.
Serving others is a blessing.
I don't mind.
That's what you're doing by testifying, you know? Lots of people would have backed out.
Yeah.
I'm not afraid.
I want to honor my Father.
That's why I'm here.
- God's got his hand on all this.
- Yeah.
[ Male Announcer.]
Calling an audible at the line of scrimmage- Is Detective Hanadarko kinda- kinda wild? [ Chuckles .]
No.
No.
She's, you know- She's fun.
Huh.
Does she believe in God? You gotta ask her.
Hey, man, is sports okay? - What do you watch? - Oh.
Christian television.
- [ Turns TVOff.]
- You know poker? [ Chuckles .]
The devil's game.
Nah.
Not if you play it for fun.
Check it out.
Come on.
Hey, I got a game.
- It's called Save Me.
- Save Me? Yeah.
Each player gets five cards.
And two of a kind beats one of a kind.
And three of a kind beats two of a kind.
Four of a kind beats three of a kind.
Yeah, I've played this game.
Yeah, great.
Winner gets to recite whatever scripture they want.
Okay.
All right.
How long you been married? - Your wedding ring.
- Ayear and a half.
Wow.
Marriage is a beautiful thing.
- What's your wife's name? - Darlene.
Three jacks.
- Two sevens.
- [ Laughs .]
What scripture you want to recite? Oh.
Um, ''Thou shalt not kill.
'' [ Chuckles .]
Yeah.
That's a commandment.
Would you like to use my Bible? [ Rhetta .]
So it's real.
How did you find it? Yellow Pages.
It's been here for years.
Did you test the taco Earl gave me? Yeah.
Just a normal beef taco.
You hungry? - Geez.
- Here we are.
- He's blackmailing me.
- Angelic blackmail.
- And with my nephew.
- Smart.
Work with Leon Cooley.
What kind of bullshit is that? He doesn't remember seeing Clay.
Doesn't remember seeing me.
What else does he got to do except yank my chain? I'm probably entertainment for him.
Crazy white bitch coming in again.
- He does remember Penn Square.
Maybe that means something.
- Dorchester Drive, 1 31 tacos? - Purple door and a brown dog with a long tongue.
- It's a riddle.
And you and a condemned killer need each other to solve it.
It's interesting.
Not when he drags my nephew into it.
Dream or no dream, I know what Leon Cooley's capable of.
You get anything off that death threat to Wade? The paper, the red crayon, you can get anywhere.
No fingerprints.
I haven't gotten to the blood you took from the dog.
Yeah.
That was fun.
[ Sighs .]
You want to come over tonight? - No, thanks.
Is this line even moving? - I'm cooking spaghetti.
- I love your spaghetti.
- Great.
6:00? Sure.
I kinda feel like getting smashed.
I'll bring some tequila and this hysterical porno Ronnie found on the Internet.
- Uh- - What's wrong? - I'm just thinking, I don't know, a quiet night.
- Oh, Wade could watch it with us.
Spaghetti.
You're shameless, you know that? - Please, save me from Jesus boy.
- No.
You get the human witnesses.
I get the ones on glass slides.
[ Chuckles .]
Damn, these must be some good tacos.
Billy and K-Pop want Carl out so they can kick his ass.
- I know that.
Y'all ask them? - Yeah.
What about Moe Buffett? Moe Buffett's a bad ass.
He and Carl are like this.
Come on,Josie.
Don't you miss your man? Don't you want him home? I told you.
I'm through with Carl Sperry.
I hate his guts.
- Since when? - Months ago.
He's a pig.
Y'all met him.
Didn't you think he was awful? What do you think, Detective Stillwater? I think I'm confused.
- She visits Carl in prison every week.
-Josie? - Y'all keep track of this stuff? - There's video too.
- Carl makes me come see him.
- How does he do that? Like he's got some kind of spell on me.
That makes sense,Josie.
It's the spell that made you go after Wade Tyrell and try to scare him out of testifying.
I didn't throw any bricks or kill a dog.
I'm not stupid.
His new girlfriend? That bitch is stupid.
Sam Delpino comes to see him twice a week.
I ran the name.
No record.
- Here's D.
M.
V.
- [ Bobby .]
This is Sperry's new girlfriend? - Prison can change a guy's taste, I guess.
- That's a lot of change.
[ Chuckles .]
Anything on Moe Buffett? - Because he and Carl Sperry are ''like this.
'' - Still tracking him down.
- [ Kate.]
How's it going? - [ Bobby .]
Nice and quiet.
Something breaks, you're up next.
It's gonna take you away from your prep on your upcoming trial.
- Understood.
- Everything good to go? Father of our witness a little nervous, but we're working it out.
Sometimes the D.
A.
's office can help provide that feeling of, uh, safety and protection.
- Not gonna happen on this case.
- Witness is safe.
It's all good.
Let's hope it stays that way.
[ Bottles Clanking .]
- Ah, shit.
Wade.
- Sorry.
Sorry.
I was thirsty.
You got friends coming over? Yeah- No.
You know what? [ Chuckles .]
These are for me.
I thought you didn't drink alcohol.
Every now and then if I need to relax after a stressful day.
- Why don't you just pray? - Well I pray the beer is cold.
Does that count? - [ Chuckles .]
- [ Chuckles .]
You ever tasted beer? - No, ma'am.
- What's my name, Wade? Grace.
See what you think.
- Yuck! - Are you a virgin, Wade? Huh? - What are you doing here? - I'm in prison.
Nah, I'm in prison.
[ Panting .]
- For killing your nephew.
- [ Cell Phone Rings .]
- [ Gasps .]

- [ Toilet Flushes .]
- [ Woman On TV, Indistinct .]
[ Man On TV, Indistinct .]
- Morning.
- Good morning.
Where's Detective Hanadarko? Um, something happened last night, Wade.
Your dad's fine.
But somebody got into your house and tore it up pretty good.
And they did a bad job of trying to set it on fire.
- Wait.
My dad's okay? - Yeah.
He wasn't even home.
- Can I call him? - He'll call you in a little while.
But he told me to tell you not to worry.
Oh.
What do you think would have happened if he had been home? I think he would have gotten hurt, Wade.
Will you pray with me? Dear, God, thank you so much for everything that you've given me.
Even these days of trials and testing, Lord, because I know you are with me.
I ask, please, keep my father safe.
- [ Camera Shutter Clicks .]
- Keep any harm and all evil away from him.
Thank you so much for these police officers these good men and women who take care of us.
Please keep them safe too.
And, Lord, please forgive the misguided.
Bless the hearts of those who would hurt us.
The heart of Carl Sperry.
That they can learn of you too and the gift of your eternal salvation.
Amen.
Ever seen any of these lowlifes? - No.
Wait.
Uh- - Moe Buffett.
- What about him? - Uh, my church.
Last-Last week, Wade and I handed out doughnuts after the service.
I think he was there.
- You talk to him? - No.
Wade did.
He gave a pamphlet on our missionary work.
- Excuse me.
Detective Hanadarko? - I'll be right back.
You owe me a spaghetti dinner.
What about the dog's blood? You gonna tell Sex Crimes I couldn't do their child abuse case 'cause I'm working up blood from a dog? First impression.
When you look around, who did this? - A kid.
- Yeah.
Amateur.
- It still creeps me out.
- I'm-I'm gonna stick around.
- Give these to Bobby for me.
Ask him to run 'em by Wade.
- All right.
[ Man On Radio .]
Welcome to K-R-I-S-T.
Kicking off your morning with some soothing sounds for our savior.
- [ Woman On Radio Singing .]
- I'm sorry you're going through this, sir.
Oh, thanks.
- You have someplace to stay? - I'm fine.
- We can't protect you here.
- Wade turns 1 8 at midnight tonight.
- Promise me you won't let him out of your sight before midnight.
- We won't.
- Y-You can't stay here, sir.
- This is exactly where I should be.
- You have family? - Will you call me at midnight so I know he's okay? He'll be fine.
I'm gonna- I'm gonna call a locksmith and get you a real lock for your door.
- But you gotta use it.
- You don't understand! You're not listening to me! I'm listening.
When Wade was born, God told me he would never live to see his 1 8th birthday.
- God told you? -Just as clearly as I'm telling you this.
He spoke to me in my ear the very first time I ever held Wade.
For 1 7 years, I've been holding my breath fearing this moment.
And now the prophecy is coming true.
Please save my son.
- He's had a mental breakdown.
- He really believes Wade's gonna die before midnight.
The stress of the trial, the threats must have gotten to him.
He needs help.
- Because he heard God talking to him? - Yeah, that thing.
- I have an angel talking to me.
Am I nuts? - You have evidence of Earl.
-Does Mr.
Tyrell have any proof? -Well, if he does, I'm not gonna get it for him.
Wade will turn 1 8, testify.
Carl Sperry is gonna take the needle.
- Amen.
- Hallelujah.
What about your other favorite inmate? I've been too busy babysitting Wade.
I've been thinking about those 1 31 tacos.
And on my way in, I drove by 1 31 Dorchester.
- And? -Jiffy Lube.
[ Laughs .]
Of course.
I thought maybe there might be a purple door.
In the Bible, when you go through a door you move from one level of faith to the next.
- And purple is the color of Lent, a time of preparation.
- So? So maybe Earl wants you to find the purple door and open it for you and for Leon 'cause he can't do it himself.
- Kinda makes sense.
- Ah, I got an angel on my ass a whack job hears God talking to him and a killer on death row who shops at the Gap.
None of it makes sense.
Ask Earl the next time you see him if God ever talks to people.
It's not exactly what I had in mind for the next time that I see Earl.
Thanks, man.
- You ever seen this guy? - No, sir.
- Uh, maybe at your church.
- No, sir.
Uh, what about these women? Uh, her.
- Where? - At the dog park a couple times.
I never saw her with a dog.
[ Cell Phone Ringing .]
Yeah, Bobby? Is he sure? Okay, man.
Sounds good.
You having fun? - Think we got our lady.
- You want to take the lead? - Or you can.
- Yeah, thanks, man.
- People make mistakes.
- I know I've made a few.
People deserve a second chance.
- How'd you meet Carl? - InmateMate.
com.
A computer dating kick for prisoners? Carl is polite.
Appreciates me.
And I don't have to worry about where he is.
You give him money? Look, don't, ma'am.
Seriously, these guys use people.
Look, I don't like to see nice women get taken advantage of.
- No.
Take it easy.
- I'm sorry.
Sam, listen.
You've never been in any kind of trouble before.
Hooking up Carl, what are you doing? Nothing.
Where were you last night between 8:00 and 1 0:30? - Home.
- Alone? Yes, alone.
- Me and Rose, my kitty.
- You don't like dogs? No.
I'm a cat person.
Then what were you doing hanging out at a dog park talking to Wade Tyrell? - I wasn't.
- We got six eyewitnesses who say you were.
We saw the poison too.
We'll be able to exhume the dog and match it up, I suspect.
We'll get a warrant for your phone records see that you made a bunch of calls to the Tyrells.
So why don't we just cut to the chase here? Is it love? Sam? I mean,you love Carl so much you'll hurt an innocent kid who's just gonna tell the truth? - You go.
- No.
You go.
Shit.
- [ Ham .]
Stop or he'll shootI - Sam! I could have come over, Doug.
You know, you should-you should have called me.
Clay's home.
He's grounded for two weeks.
He's not going anywhere.
He shouldn't be alone.
Is there something about this guy he talked to that you haven't told me? - Do you know him? - No.
But I could.
He could be a serial killer or a pedophile.
[ Sighs .]
Clay had a nightmare last night.
- Clay's always had nightmares.
- Not like this.
He said the black guy was chasing him.
He woke up crying, calling out for his mom.
Said the guy chased him all the way to the Murrah Building where his mom was standing waiting to get him a social security card.
I thought he stopped dreaming about Mary Frances a long time ago.
He did.
I'm sorry, Doug, but Clay can't talk to people he doesn't know.
- He knows that now.
- You think he does.
But some pervert with a puppy or a story about something that makes sense to a kid, that's it.
They got him.
Transport him to another location.
You're lucky you get his bones back.
- Grace, did you say that to Clay? - No.
I'm saying it to you.
Just keep him close for awhile.
When you brought him home the other night, did you chase after a bus? For about two seconds.
[ Sighs .]
It's too much now, Grace.
I don't want you seeing Clay for awhile.
Okay? Just for awhile.
Okay? [ Sighs .]
[ Panting .]
God.
I know what you're doing.
I just got back from a family reunion with 47 Jews and one Baptist.
I don't even know what I'm doing.
- It's that thing in Brooklyn.
- Yeah.
Hillick.
The grandfather.
He won't acknowledge me half the time.
Thinks if he keeps reading the Torah over and over, I'll go away.
Hillick ain't spoke to me since 1 997.
But today he done good.
This lady that you want me to work with, she's a pushy bitch.
Grace? What makes you think that? And she's a cop too.
- You were a security guard before you ended up in here.
- I was in school.
I had a son and a wife to support.
It wasn't my dream job.
Cooley's Heating and Air Repair.
Yeah, something like that.
This kid she keeps asking me about, you gotta keep him away from me.
- You don't trust yourself? - No.
That why you been exercising? Trying to keep yourself awake? Two years, five months and five days, Leon.
I can't change the day you're gonna die.
That's way above my pay grade.
But I can help you get ready.
That pushy cop can help you too, if you'll let her.
I'm not ready? I gotta get to Holland.
You look like you could use a nap.
But I can't believe this I think I really did it now When can I wake up and feel relief [ Tires Screeching .]
[ Horn Honks .]
[ Honks .]
[ Tires Screeching .]
[ Door Closes .]
Ever see a more beautiful tulip? - You're an asshole.
- You need to broaden your vocabulary.
- Yes or no.
Is Clay safe? - I told you before, Grace.
God don't tell me everything.
Fact is, not being his favorite angel this month, he ain't told me much.
But do you honestly think God would harm a child just to wake you up? He's done worse things than that.
Here we go again with the Crusades.
Never gets old.
I'm talking about the everyday shit of life, Earl.
Kid working at a soup kitchen sees a paramedic almost get his head sliced off.
Eighty-one-year-old woman raped by three teenagers last week.
What's God got to say about that? Your nephew's fine.
How much do you know about Leon Cooley? - You know he killed a prison guard? - Yeah.
- With his teeth? - What else you know about him? I don't want to know anything more about him.
I don't want to know about his purple doors, his dreams.
None of it.
Fine.
You just keep driving around in circles then.
- [ Rock .]
- Grace.
Right.
Go to your right.
Right, right, right.
- Give me a hug.
- No.
Come on.
Ahh.
You gonna do your little groove? Come on.
Let's see.
Go.
What, are you guys doing a victory dance? It's about love, man.
It all comes back to love.
Yeah.
Sam only met Carl three months ago.
She said Carl put a spell on her.
I don't get it, man.
You get it? Carl Sperry.
- I don't get it either.
- [ Grace.]
I get it.
He's cute, in kind of a street way.
Too bad he has to face this.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey.
Oh, okay.
- [ Grace.]
Suckers.
- So are we off the clock, huh? Now that Sam's in custody? - Wade's safe and sound? - Bobby's taking him home right now.
He said that Wade's afraid of him.
He's never seen an Indian before.
- An Indian that's half Mexican? That's even scarier.
- Oh, come on.
[ Kate.]
Hey.
[ Stops .]
This, uh-This case, the one I'm not supposed to know anything about? Sam Delpino confessed to everything.
The threats, the dog, trashing the Tyrell house.
Case is closed.
Then why do I have about insisting that the threat to his son just got worse? - He's begged us not to bring him home.
- How did he sound? - Hysterical.
- Shit.
Guy may be losing it.
Good news.
The blood's the color of chocolate which probably means poisoning by nitrate, which is found in nurseries.
- The Tyrell dog.
- Thanks.
I'm so glad this trial is tomorrow - so we can get back to the work we're supposed to be doing.
- Hey, guys.
Bobby's not picking up his phone.
He's not picking up.
Okay.
Officer down.
Need a bus at 20065 North St.
Clair.
[ Male Dispatcher.]
Copy that.
You say 2-6-5? - Bobby.
- No, no, no, no.
That address is 20065.
200-65.
- Where's the witness? -Just got here.
Haven't cleared the house.
- Shit.
- Shit.
- What happened? - Lamp.
- [ Ham .]
ClearI - [ Grace.]
ClearI - Hey, you okay? - Bobby, where's Wade? - He took him.
- Where? Who? Grace.
- [ Ira .]
I told you.
- Mr.
Tyrell.
I told you to keep him away, to protect him.
The Lord is with us, Son.
He's here.
[ Wade.]
I know that.
- You are so precious to me.
- [ Grace.]
Sir we know who was threatening Wade.
It's over.
- Wade doesn't have to die.
- You still don't listen.
Today, God told me that I have to fulfill the prophecy myself.
God already knows you love him.
''This plan of mine is not what you would work out.
''Nor are my thoughts the same as yours.
''Just as heaven is higher than the earth, so my ways are above yours - and my thoughts above yours.
'' - He sent me here to stop you.
Why else would I be here? Mr.
Tyrell, this is God's will.
Me, here now.
- Dad, can we pray? - Yes.
Pray for me that with his grace I can do his will.
What's my name, Wade? Grace.
Her name is Grace.
[ Siren Blaring In Distance.]
Kneel down.
Kneel down.
[ Handcuffs Clinking .]
Shit, man.
Good thing my name isn't Shirley.
Maybe I should turn and walk away Maybe I should run but I'll probably bow my head and pray Maybe I'll search the lost and found [ Dog Barks .]
Maybe like two boxers bloodied dizzied by the seventh round Maybe circumstances make it easier to quit Maybe in a circle square pieces never fit But I want you to know I never walked away from the things I wanted Never walked away but I think I'm goin'to This time - This time - Time This time Ohh
