감 독

데이빗 홀랜더

저는 금붕어를 키웁니다

침실에 작은 어항을 놓고요

동물을 좋아하는
제 또래의 다른 애들은

강아지를 키우지만

저는 금붕어가 좋습니다

마음이 통하는 것 같아서요

작은 어항 속에 살면서

아무 것도 못 듣고

유리 너머로만 세상을 보잖아요

제 이름은
클레이 피에트리스크입니다

저는 평범한 십대 소년입니다

태어날 때부터
귀머거리라는 점만 빼면요

물론 말도 못합니다

귀먹은 것만 빼면 평범한 십대

1년 전쯤에
어느 술집 앞에서 아버지가

총 맞아 죽은 것만 빼면
평범한 십대

물론 이게 다는 아닙니다

다시 돌아오지 않을 걸 아는

어떤 사람을 기다리는
십대이기도 합니다

기다리며 보내는 시간은

면접실에서도 이어집니다

제 아버지는 배에
총을 맞으셨습니다

월터 블런트의 누나는
강간을 당한 뒤 살해되어

벽돌로 머리를
여덟 번이나 찍혔습니다

그녀를 죽인 후

살해범은 그녀의
시신을 불태우려 하다가

계획에 실패하자
시신을 강가에 버렸습니다

시신의 반은 쓰레기봉투로
뒤집어씌운 채

네 차례야, 월터

배가 고프세요?
메가버드 드세요

정말 맛있어요

됐어요

배가 고프세요?
메가버드 드세요

닭 먹고 알 먹고...

정말 맛있어요
드셔보세요

야, 이 닭대가리야!

죽을래?

한 번만 더 그래봐!

조부모님의 생각에 대한
대화가 아주 흥미로웠어요

보통 배우자나
아들딸 신경쓰느라고

조부모님까지는
신경들을 안 쓰시는데

그건 옳지 않은 것 같아요

마음이야 다 똑같죠

오늘 얘기 감사합니다

정말 너무 좋았어요

계속 들어야 돼요?

조용히 해

린다 피에트리스키 씨께서는
남편을 위해 만든

추모앨범을 보여주실 겁니다

린다?

사람들 앞에서
원래 말을 잘 못해요

글로리아가 제 다음인데

제가 해야
자기도 한다고 해서

뭘 할까 생각하다가

저와 래리가 처음 만났을 때
얘기를 하기로 했어요

이건 래리가 오리건으로
시합하러 갔을 때예요

술 때문에
야구는 뒷전이었지만...

그리고...

이건 아들 클레이가
태어났을 때예요

아버지가 살아계실 때

아버지는 술을 좋아하시고

아버지 친구분들도
주정뱅이에 총수집가들이었죠

그 친구들 중 하나인
마크 잰코우스키가

수집한 총으로
아버지를 쐈습니다

역시 만취상태에서요

목격자들 증언은

진실이 무엇이든
전 별로 상관 안 합니다

범인이 누군지는 이미 아니까

이게 래리의 마지막 사진인데...

마크라는 사람도 있어요
남편을 죽인...

그런데 버릴 수가 없네요

마지막 모습이라

이게 다예요

고마워요, 린다

힘드셨을 텐데

좋은 얘기 감사합니다

글로리아 블런트 씨는
딸을 위한 추모앨범을 만드셨답니다

글로리아?

이건 제 딸 애니를
위해 만들었어요

거의 다 월터랑
같이 찍은 사진이에요

둘이...
둘이 쌍둥이였거든요

오늘은 제가 부탁해서
월터도 함께 왔어요

싫다고 하는 걸

어쨌든...

애니가 먼저 태어나고

월터가 8분 뒤에 나왔어요

지고는 못 사는 놈인데

그리고...

애니한테 베스라는
딸이 있는데

이제 다섯 살이에요

제 손녀예요

지금은 저희랑 살아요

애니는 브라이스라는
남자와 약혼을 했었는데...

저와 월터는 공통점이 많습니다

사랑하는 사람이
살해당했다는 사실 뿐만 아니라

그 사람이 떠나며
남긴 것들에

목매고 있다는 사실까지

약속해

말썽부리지 않기로

언제 들어올 건데?

알았어

사랑해

톰 프리딩거 씨가

애니 블런트 씨를
살해했다는 증거는 없습니다

과학적 증거도 없고
목격자도 없습니다

전혀요

피해자가 납치되어
살해되기 한 시간 전에 나눈

대화를 제외하면 말입니다

네, 밤이면 집까지
데려다주었던 것은 사실입니다

특히 사고를 당하던
날처럼 취했을 때는요

네, 선물이나, 꽃, 편지
등으로 애정 공세도 펼쳤습니다

그러나 그게
살해의 증거는 아닙니다

피해자를 좋아한 게

죄는 아니라는 얘기지요!

특히 블런트 씨의
사생활을 보면

지난 몇 년간 수많은 남자들을
만났다는 것을 알 수 있습니다

재판장님

사건에 대한
충분한 증거가 없습니다

저와 월터는

잘 알고 있습니다

아침이 밝았을 때

그 아침을 같이 맞을
사람이 없는 기분

우리는 그 기분을 잘 압니다

사람들이 친해지려면
공통점이 필요하죠

직업이나 취미, 운동...

혹은 변화나
정의를 위한 기다림

모두 기립하세요

정당함을 위한 기다림

휴정하겠습니다

하지만 그 기다림이
쉽지만은 않습니다

시간이 지나면서

더 이상은 지켜볼 수가 없어집니다

그래서

직접 나서기로 결심합니다

이러시는 건 도움이 안 됩니다

판사 앞에 앉아서
프리딩거 씨를 그렇게 노려보면

오히려 프리딩거 씨가

- 동정표를 받게 된다구요
- 동정표요?

월터 씨
상대는 정신장애인이에요

힘들게 살아온 사람이라구요

아시잖아요

명확한 증거가 없기 때문에

배심원을 믿는 수밖에 없어요

법정에 들어오면

제발 인상 좀 펴세요

- 피에스트리키 부인
- 안녕하세요?

들어오기 전에
열 좀 식히고 오세요

배심원 선발이 중요해요

상대편에서도 문제 있는
배심원은 솎아 낼 거예요

배심원 잘 골라서
바로 시작하죠

네

그래요

안녕?

글로리아 아들 맞지?

네, 월터요

그래, 월터!

아 참

금연 구역이지

난 배심원 선발 때문에 왔어

검사가 그러는데
시간이 좀 걸릴 거래

2층에 스낵 자판기 있어요

배고프시면 가보세요

고맙다

잘 자

사랑해

저도요, 엄마

공짜 점심 쿠폰 받아가세요

비켜, 닭대가리야

그런...

그런 말은...

뭐예요?

메가버드 한번 드셔보세요

뭐야, 꺼져

대부분의 희생자 가족들은

사법 제도에 의지합니다

가해자가 체포되고
고소당하고, 유죄 판결을 받고

징역 사는 모습을 보면서요

하지만 아쉽게도 사법 제도는
사회를 위해 존재합니다

개개인을 위한 것보다는요

여러분이 생각하시는

살인에 대한 적절한
형벌이 무엇이든 간에

아마 만족하시지 못할 겁니다

가해자가 사형 선고를
받았다 하더라도

만족하지 못하실 거란 얘깁니다

자, 오늘은
여기까지 하겠습니다

자선 바자회 날짜
잊지 않으셨죠?

이 기회에 잊고 싶은
추억이 담긴 소장품을 기부하셔서

희생자 가족들을 위해
쓰도록 도와주시기 바랍니다

수고하셨습니다

웨틱 판사가 저희 쪽
고소를 기각하고

무효 심리 처리했습니다

다시 원점이에요

죽은 사람을 놓고
막말하고 싶지는 않지만

피해자는 만취 상태였습니다

사생활도 난잡했구요

거쳐간 남자들이
한 둘이 아닙니다

범행동기를 가진 사람
역시 한둘이 아니겠죠

말도 안 돼...

피해자는 스스로를
위험으로 내몰았던 것입니다

말도 안 돼

이 법정에서
밝혀진 바와 같이

블런트 씨는 애 아빠가
누구인지도 몰랐습니다

지금 뭐라시는 거죠?

블런트 씨

거짓말이에요

블런트 씨

다 거짓말이에요

거짓말을 하고 있다구요!

마지막 경고입니다
블런트 씨

자세히 알지도 못하면서

블런트 씨

어떻게 저런 헛소리를...

블런트 씨

천하의 나쁜...

쓰레기 같은...

월터?

무슨 일이야?

상대측 검사가 우리 누나를 걸...

걸레 취급하네요

너무 심했네

본인이 자초한 일이래요

속상하겠다

그 거지같은 새끼를
변호하는 것도 모자라서

죽은 사람까지
모욕을 하다니

밖에서 밤늦게까지 기다리다가

아주 반쯤 죽여 놓을까?

남편이 죽기 전에는
법원 근처에도 안 와봤어

마치...

마치 다른 세상 같아

사용하는 말도 그렇고
일어나는 일도 그렇고

꼭...

꼭 비행기를 잘못 타서
이상한 나라에 온 기분이야

원래 말수가 적니?

글쎄요

누나가 죽기 전에는
뭐 했었어?

레슬링이요

레슬링?

네, 아이오와에서
국가 대표팀이랑 훈련 중이었어요

그런데...

사고 소식 듣고
집에 왔다가 눌러앉은 거죠

네가 몇 살이지?

스물 넷이요

스물 넷이라...

근데 여기에서 살겠다구?

재판이 어떻게
진행되는지 보고 싶어서요

지낼만 해요

재판이 없을 땐
뭐 하면서 지내는데?

뭐가요?

뭘 해서 돈 버냐구

닭이요

그 뭐냐...

메가버드 앞에서
닭 분장하고 홍보해요

내가 꺼지라고 했던 그 닭?

미안해

괜찮아요

꼭 노려보는 것 같아서

아직 서툴러서요

같이 일하는 애 중에
호세라는 애는 막 춤도 추고

맞다

날개도 펄럭이고 그러는데

아, 네가 그 창가 쪽에
앉아 있던 애구나?

그 우울한 닭

난 마을 회관에서 일해

주로 결혼식 같은
행사들을 관리하지

남편이 죽고 나서 시작했어

한동안 그저
멍하게만 살았는데...

암튼 친구 하나가
거기 인사과에서 근무해

그래서 그냥 취직이 됐지

맘에 드세요?

하시는 일이요

닭 분장은 안 해도 되잖아

- 담배 안 해요
- 아, 운동한댔지

그래

얼른 도망가!

월터
여기서 뭐 하는 거야?

잠깐만요

뭐 한다고 여기서 혼자
역기나 들고 있냐

아 참, 여기 체육관
비상키 만들어 왔다

나갈 때 잠그고 가

감사합니다

지역 예선에 참가할 거야?

아뇨

뭐?

이제 레슬링 안 해요

그럼 훈련은 왜 하는데?

이 병신아!

왜 사냐?

야, 가서 다른 애들도 잡아와!

뭐해, 덤벼봐!

말도 못하냐?

야, 오늘 완전 대박이다!

한판 붙어볼래?

한번 해봐?

대꾸할 가치조차 없냐?

야, 가자!

오늘도 그 찌질한
노란 유치원 차 타고 왔냐?

덤벼보라니까!

아, 대꾸를 해보라고!

멀뚱히 서 있지만 말고

말을 해야 알아먹지

얼른 해봐

해봐, 병신아
싸울 거야, 말 거야?

왜, 귀도 안 들리냐?
귀도 먹었어?

덤벼봐, 얼른

멀대 같은 놈

내 말 안 들려?

덤비려면 덤비고
말려면 말고

야!

왜 사냐고

야, 그만해!

잡아!

괜찮냐?

- 그만 해
- 저 새끼가 먼저 쳤잖아!

그만 해

야...

야!

난 월터야

너네 엄마도 알아

총 이리 줘

그러지 마
이리 내

총 줘

총 이리 내

저 새끼가
총 쏘려고 했어요!

애들이 먼저 괴롭혔어요

그래서 싸우다가
총을 꺼내 들더라고요

젠장!

애랑 얘기 좀 해야겠어
잠깐 기다려줄래?

돌려주긴 뭘 돌려줘!

엄마도 알아!

엄마 봐!

엄마도 애들이
너 괴롭히는 거 알아

클레이, 엄마 봐봐

클레이

보지 말아줄래?

애가 왜 총을 갖고 있죠?

애 아빠 거야

그걸 왜 애가
갖고 있냐구요

내가 바본 줄 아니?

총알도 안 들어있어

걱정 마
이제 압수할거야

이번에도 학교에서 쫓겨나면

젠장!

곧 재판도 시작하는데

어떻게 해야 될지 모르겠다

어쨌든 내가
해결할 일이니까...

그러셔야죠

곧 온다길래
기다리고 있었어

맥주 한 잔 할까?

나 술 안 마셔

너만 괜찮으면 우리 회사에
자리 하나 알아봐줄 수 있는데

사무직 같은 거...

됐어

내가 요새 만난다는
여자 얘기했지?

응

그레이스 말이야

임신했대

그래서 청혼하려구

근데?

그래서 말인데...

혹시 어머님께 얘기해서
애니 반지 좀 받을 수 있을까?

내가 말씀드리면
언짢으실 것 같아서

내가 반지를 새로
살 형편은 안 되고

만약에 어머니가
안 된다고 하시면 할 수 없고

바자회에 애니가 모아둔
레코드판이나 내놓을까봐

너 안 들을거면

노란색 운동복 못 보셨어요?

빨래 바구니 봐봐

이거요?

엄마!

아휴, 베스한테
빨래 좀 도와 달랬더니

일 나가기 전에 가게 가서
하나 더 사야 되게 생겼잖아요

왜?

치킨이 노란색이지
분홍색이에요?

이제 아이오와로
돌아가지 그러니

애니도 좋아하지 않을 거야

뭘요?

닭대가리 뒤집어 쓰고
메가버드에서 일하는 것도 그렇고

하루 종일 법정에 앉아서

페기네 모자란 아들이나
쳐다보는 것도 그렇고

애니는 그럼 뭘 원할까요?

애니는 아마도 네가...

내가 아니?

그냥 너 하던 거

제가 창피하세요?

그게 아니라

애니는 억울함을
풀고 싶을 거예요

그게 애니가 원하는 거라구요

계란 프라이 해줄까?

브라이스가 다녀갔어요

애니 반지 돌려달래요

왜?

여자 친구가 임신을 했는데

애니 반지를 주고 싶대요

그래?

베스 방에 있는 서랍에 뒀다

뭐 해?

그냥

왜?

할머니가 오늘부터
학교 안 가도 된대

대신에 뭐할건데?

너니, 월터?

네

안녕

안녕하세요

저기...

지나가다 잠깐 들렀어

그 탈 좀 벗어볼래?

네

고마워

비 오는데

네

비 와도 밖에 서 있어야 돼?

네

커피 마실래?

저 커피 안 마셔요

그냥 마시는 거 볼게요

그래

그럼 잠깐만요

클레이 도와줘서 고마워

괜히 너한테
화풀이해서 미안하고

암튼 고마워

이제 어떻게 되는 거예요?

시에서 운영하는
프로그램에 보냈는데

무슨 프로그램이요?

시청에서 근무하는 사람 말이
검시관 사무실에 가서

총상으로 죽은 사람들
부검을 보면 뭔가 달라질 거래

부검이요?

안 그래도 총상으로
아버지를 잃은 앤데

있잖아

토요일 저녁에
결혼식이 있는데

파트너가 필요해

그래서요?

데이트 같은 건 아니고

그냥 같이 갈 사람이 필요해서

자꾸 울어서...

결혼식만 보면 눈물이 나와서

이상하게 멈추지를 않아

그러다보면 남편
생각이 나서 이성을 잃고

그랬더니 내 친구가

감정이 주체가 안 되면
일을 그만두라잖아

그래서 혹시 누가 옆에 있어주면

그렇게까지
비참하진 않을 것 같아서

와줄 수 있겠어?

엄마!

나가 있어

옷 갈아입어야 돼

얼른

안녕, 월터

왔어요?

멋있는데?

고마워요

그쪽도...

이상해?

모르는 사람 결혼식에 가는 거?

조금요

꼭 바보가 된 기분이야

이런 일로 오게 하고

괜찮아요

어차피 TV나
보려고 했었는데요, 뭐

그래

가자

그래요

고마워

- 오늘 결혼식 있잖아
- 네

정말 멋있을 거야

둘이 교회 성가대에서 만났대

신부 아버지가 군 생활 하다가
돌아가셔서 삼촌이 같이 입장한다는데

아버지 장례식 때 썼던 국기를

아버지 대신 자리에 놓을 거래

그 다음엔 신랑 신부가
마주보며 노래도 하고

임신했대

미안해

진짜 왜 이러나 몰라

이 사람을 신랑으로
맞이하시겠습니까?

안 운다고 했잖아요

기쁠 때나 슬플 때나

좋을 때나 나쁠 때나
부유할 때나 가난할 때나

건강할 때나 아플 때나

함께하기를 맹세합니까?

네

이제 두 사람은
부부가 되었습니다

아야!

신부에게 키스하세요

힘들지?

아뇨

구경하면 돼요

그래

다들 행복해 보이지?

결혼해봤어?

- 아뇨
- 결혼 비슷한 건?

아뇨, 그냥...
레슬링만 했어요

그렇구나

애도 없고?

가끔 누나 딸을 봐주긴 해요

다섯 살이라
아직 혼자 못 있어서

아...

뭐하세요?

같이 춤춰요

전 됐어요

괜찮죠?

- 이리 오세요
- 알았어요

- 준비하시느라 고생하셨어요
- 뭘요

- 참 개방적이고 친절하지?
- 정말 좋은 사람 같아요

미안해
나 취했나봐

괜찮아요

저기...
그림 그리신 거 봤는데

아...

- 몰래 봐서 죄송해요
- 아니야, 화내서 미안해

잘 그리셨던데요?

그림 속에 사람들이
없어서 좋았어요

안 그래도 돼

정말이에요

빈 방이지만
뭔가 특별했어요

잘은 모르지만 뭔가
흥미로운 게 있을 것 같은...

그럴 지도 모르지

나쁜 일이
일어날 것 같진 않았어요

누가 들어갈지는 모르지만

그냥 제 느낌이에요

정말 멋진데?

세상에, 클레이야

네?

버스 좀 세워주세요

좀 세워주세요

클레이!

뭐야, 클레이!

뭐 하는 짓이야?

집에 가!

얼른 가라니까!

남편을 죽인 놈이 살던 곳이야

고마워

미안하게 됐다

린다

왜?

클레이한테 월요일 학교 가기 전에
체육관으로 오라고 좀 해줄래요?

왜?

그냥 물어봐 주세요

7시 반쯤요

알았어

잘 가

덕분에 즐거웠어요

무슨 소리야

잘 가

접시에 덜어 먹어

어제 저녁에 데이트 했니?

그런 거 아니에요

린다 만났어?

네

잘했네

잘했어

네

자선 바자회 때 좀 도와줘

전 그 모임 사람들이랑은
어울리고 싶지 않아요

누가 바자회 오래?

차고 좀 치워줘

나는 무거워서 못 옮기겠더라

네

고마워

새 친구가 생겨서 좋겠네?

그냥 일 때문에
결혼식에 같이 간 거예요

별 거 아니에요

자, 출발!

좋아!

힘차게!

저기...

하나 남았어!

너랑 어떻게 말해야 할지
몰라서 그냥 적어왔어

우리 팀에 대한 자료야

그렇지!

바로 그거야!

이 동의서에
엄마 서명 받아오면 돼

조심해!

너랑 잘 맞을 것 같아

다리 붙이고

최소한 군살은 빠질 거야

다시!

자, 힘내고!

내가 네 나이 때
레슬링이 많은 도움이 됐어

자, 다섯 바퀴 더!

저 분이 코치TU

같이 얘기 좀 해봐

토미는 11시까지
집에 있었어요

어떻게 아시죠?

뉴스 시작 시간이었어요

같이 봤거든요

11시 뉴스요?

네

뉴스 본 다음에
토크쇼 보거든요

11시라...

코로너 말대로 살인이
일어나기 한 시간 전부터

아드님이랑 함께 계셨군요?

그렇습니다

이상입니다

자리로 돌아가셔도 됩니다
프리딩거 부인

월터

왔어?

저기...

그레이스가 청혼을 받아들였어

- 축하해
- 고마워

- 잠깐 발 좀...
- 아, 네

결혼 전까지는 부모님한테
임신 얘기 안 하려고

그래서 좀 급해

그래

결혼식에 와줘

너랑 어머님이
참석해 줬으면 좋겠어

두 사람한테 축하받고 싶어

그래

자, 고마워

그래

고마워

그래

어떤 것 같아요?

레슬링은
주먹다짐하고는 다르잖아

네

일단 여태까지
훈련은 잘 참았어

지금도 잘 하고 있고

제가 도와줄게요

자, 그만!

내일 아침 준비 운동은 없고
방과 후에 가볍게 연습한다

수고했어

잘하는데?

그만 가봐

잘했어

정말 괜찮을까?

안 들린다고
레슬링도 못해요?

알았어

그냥 파스 같은 거나 붙여줘요

자기 전에 뜨끈하게
샤워 좀 하라고 하시고요

그래야 근육이 안 뭉쳐요

고마워

배심원 여러분

이제 증언은 끝났습니다

그 증언이 법에 어떻게
적용되는지만 말씀드리겠습니다

사실과 법에 근거해서
판결을 내리셔야합니다

반드시 이 법정 안에서

취합된 증거만으로
판결을 내리셔야합니다

다른 증거는
해당되지 않습니다

뭐해?

아...

배심원 판결 중이에요

아...

- 안녕하세요?
- 안녕하세요

월요일까지 휴정입니다

어떨 때는 금방 끝나고
어떨 때는 며칠씩 걸려요

하필 금요일이라
주말이 끼어서...

월요일까지는 분명히
판결이 날 거예요

주말에 뭐 할거야?

아직 몰라요

이번 토요일에도
결혼식 있는데

시간 때우고 싶으면 와

인터넷 하다 만났대

신랑은 휠체어 타는데

신부는 사우스 힐에 있는
헬스클럽에서 강의한대

신랑이 카네기 대학
컴퓨터학과 교수야

신부는 대학도 안 나왔는데

이상하지?

암튼 할 일 없으면...

올거야, 말거야?

네, 갈게요

같이 가요

알았어

재밌겠네요

그래

아...

시작하나보다

나중에 봬요

그래, 내일 5시에 봐

브라이스라는 네 친구가
며칠 전에 약혼녀랑 같이 왔었어

마을회관에서 결혼하려나 봐

그래서 내가 돕기로 했어

마을회관이 싸잖아

잘 됐네요

같이 춤춰요, 린다

가르쳐 줄게요

춤출래?

전 춤 안 춰요

우리 남편도 그랬는데

난 출래
넌 싫으면 추지 마

같이 즐겨야죠

어서요, 린다

미안해

일하시는 거잖아요

그래도 한 시간
동안이나 혼자 뒀잖아

괜찮아요

안 마신 병은 청구 내역에서 빼고
장미꽃이랑 치우느라고

마저 정리하실 거죠, 린다?

네, 들어가세요
제가 마무리할게요

도와줘서 고마워

뭘요

지루하면 안 따라다녀도 돼

- 아녜요, 괜찮아요
- 정말이야?

네, 재밌었어요

- 네 방식으로?
- 제 방식이라뇨?

그래

내가 훨씬 나이도 많고 또...

많이 망가졌지만...

그냥 있어줘

계속해

그냥 느낌에 충실하고 싶어

- 안녕?
- 안녕하세요

저기...

내 대신 이것 좀 갖고 있어줘

네가 가지고 있다고 하면
클레이도 아무 소리 안 할거야

싫어요

더 이상 갖고 있을 수가 없어

저도 싫어요

클레이한테 이건
유산과도 같은 거야

그래서 버릴 수가 없어

남편 죽고 처음이야

다른 사람이랑은 말도 하기 싫고
같이 있기도 싫었었는데

저기...
이만 가볼게요

잘 가

주무세요

알았지?
한번 해봐

아니, 아니

걸어야지

걸어, 이렇게, 느껴져?

다시!

할 수 있어, 해봐

자...

잘 봐

날 보라구!

내가 하는 대로 따라해

나 안 해!

이리 와!

어서!

아까 던져서 미안해

연습하느라고 그런 거지
다른 마음 없어

작년 이맘때쯤에는

국가 대표 선발을 위한
출전을 앞두고 있었어

팩커라는 사람이랑
펜실베니아에서 온 사람이

출전 약속을 해주더라고

그래서 될 뻔 했는데

어느 날 연습을 하고 있는데

코치 하나가 와서는

그 사람 표정만 봐도 알겠더라구

무슨 일이 생겼다는 걸

그래서 첫차를 타고
집으로 왔는데

완전 엉망진창인 거야

조카는 엄마 어딨냐고 울어대고

애니 약혼자는 완전
정신이 나가서 멍하게 있고

엄마는 쉬지 않고
중얼대고 있더라고

아무도 안 듣고 있는데

다들 제각기 미쳐서는

애니고, 애니를 죽인
사람이고 다 잊고서

나도 미쳐가나 봐, 그놈 생각을
떨쳐버릴 수가 없는 걸 보니

그걸 내가 어떻게 알아들어

엄마한테 얘기해
그럼 전해 들을게

그래

맛있어요
메가버드 드세요

정말 맛있어요

맛있어요
메가버드 드세요

안녕, 톰

뭐?

맛있어
먹어보라니까

먹어봐, 톰

괜찮아?

네

그냥...
괜히 끌어들였나 싶어서

걱정하지 마

선수 입장!

악수!

시작!

홍코너!

아웃!

청코너, 엎드리세요

준비!

하나, 둘...

준비, 시작!

그렇지, 힘내!

언더훅
위에서 밑으로

넘겨, 넘겨!

그렇지!

하나, 둘, 셋...

잘했어, 클레이!
해냈어!

이긴 거야

네가 이겼어

이겼어, 이겼다구!

가봐

그렇게 좋아하는 거
오랜만에 봤어

정말 좋아하더라

자기가 생각해도 대견했을 거야

이기고선 널 쳐다보는데...

마냥 기다리기만 하는 것보다
더 의미 있지 않았어?

나는 그랬어

더 의미 있었어

너도 어느 날 그냥
사라져버리는 건 아니겠지?

- 린다
- 나와 클레이 모두...

네가 정말 좋아

진짜 사랑해

그 말 하고 싶었어

몇 번 때렸어?

우리 누나
얼마나 때렸냐구!

말해!

얼마나 때렸어, 이 개새끼야!

안 그랬어

내가 안 죽였어

칼로 찌르고

벽돌로 쳐서

시신을 태웠잖아!

아냐, 같이 술만 마셨어

내가 얼마나 잘 해줬는데!

네가 죽였잖아!

아냐, 그냥 바래다
주려고 했는데

못 그러게 하잖아

싫댔어

내가 싫댔어

나도 애니 친구였어

나도 노력했다구!

나도 친구였어

정말이야

오늘 일은
아무에게도 말 안 할게

이제 가도 되지?

이제 보내줘

클레이

여기서 뭐 하는 거야?

집에 가

집에 가, 클레이

집에 가라구!

얼른!

판사가 이걸로는
증거가 안 된답니다

명단에 있는 사람들하고도
인터뷰해 봤는데 입증할 거리가...

아시다시피...

의뢰인에게 유리한
증언은 못 찾았습니다

죄송합니다, 블런트 씨

월터?

왜 그래

그 사람 짓이 아니래요

뭐?

그 사람이 안 죽였대요

도와주려고 한 거래요

그래

제가 할 일을 대신
하고 있던 것 뿐이었어요

제가 했어야 하는 일인데
혼자 둬서...

아냐

누나가 의지할 사람이
그런 사람밖에 없게 만들었어요

그런 거 아냐

고작 그런 사람을...

괜찮아, 괜찮아

내가 같이 있어줄게

내가 도와줄게

알았지?

내가 사랑해줄게

우린 뭐죠?

뭐?

우린 무슨 관계죠?

아픈 기억만 들춰내는...

월터, 그만해

린다는 재판에나 이겼죠
저는요?

전 아무 것도 없어요

이게 다예요

빌어먹을 닭밖에 없다구요!

걱정하지 마

책임지라고 안 해

그렇다고 떠나지도 않을 거야

걱정하는 게 아녜요!

아이오와로 돌아갈 거예요

더 이상...
여기 있을 수가 없어요

죄송해요

베스

삼촌이 여덟 살 때

할머니한테 지하실 좀
쓰게 해달라고 졸랐어

여자랑 같은 방 쓰기 싫어서

너네 엄마가 엄청 화냈었어

그래서 만날 삼촌 방에
몰래 내려와서

삼촌이 잠들면 침대로
기어들어왔었어

너처럼

그래서 할머니가
엄마한테 이걸 사줬었어

밤에 갖고 자면

기분이 나아질 거라고

그래서

이제는 네가
가질 때가 된 것 같아

베스

네 거라니까

무슨 소린지 모르겠어

난...

그 남자?

그 남자에 대한 거라고?

모르겠어

나도 이제 모르겠어

체육관 열쇠야

코치님이 그러시는데

내년쯤이면
너 정말 좋아질 거래

계속 하면
정말 잘 할거래

잘 할거야

오늘은 저녁 근무야

제발

집에 있어

제발

사랑해

저기요

그래

나는 평생을
기다리기만 했어

평생 이 모양 이 꼴로
살아야 되나 보다 하면서

술 마시는 남편에

부족한 아들에

이런 시골에서 사는 거에

그런데

난 여기가 좋아

잿빛 하늘도 좋고

낡은 건물들도 좋고

가정집에서 나는
음식 냄새도 좋고

상점들도 좋고...

여기서 내 아들을
키울 수 있어서 좋았어

너와 함께
있는 것도 좋았고

미안해
궁상맞아 보이겠다

난 그냥...
너만 괜찮으면...

너와 함께 하고 싶어서

함께 있으면 너도
나랑 클레이한테 잘 해줄 텐데

항상 잘 해줘왔으니까

난 그냥...

네가 떠나기 전에

내 느낌을 말해주고 싶었어

그게 다야

그뿐이야

결국은 이게 남겨진
자들의 운명이 아닐까요?

총과

뮤직 박스와

체육관 열쇠

그런 것들이 삶을 지탱해주는 운명

어쩌면 그것들은

앞으로 어떻게 살면 되는지
암시하고 있는 것은 아닐까요?

하지만 그 기다림이
쉽지만은 않습니다

시간이 지나면서

더 이상은 지켜볼 수가 없어집니다

그래서

직접 나서기로 결심합니다

린다

제가 잘못했어요

클레이가 없어졌어
총을 가지고 나갔어

- 어디부터 찾아봐야 될지 모르겠어
- 괜찮아요

저한테 맡기세요

거기요

무슨 일이세요?

클레이!

피해, 엄마!

피해!

클레이!

네가 쐈어

네가 쐈다구

월터!

월터

저는 금붕어를 키웁니다

마음이 통하는 것 같아서요

작은 어항 속에 살면서

아무 것도 못 듣고

유리 너머로만 세상을 보잖아요

제 이름은
클레이 피에트리스크입니다

저는 평범한 십대 소년입니다

태어날 때부터
귀머거리라는 점만 빼면요

물론 말도 못합니다

잘했어

사랑해

사랑해, 엄마

물론 이게 다는 아닙니다

다시 돌아오지 않을 걸 아는

어떤 사람을 기다리는
십대이기도 합니다

기다리며 보내는 시간은

면접실에서도 이어집니다

Personal Effects

I collect goldfish.

I keep them in a small
tank in my bedroom.

Other kids my age like dogs,

if they like animals at all,

but for me, it's goldfish.

I understand them,

living underwater
in a little bowl,

hearing nothing,

just watching things
through glass.

My name is Clay Pietrysk.

I'm basically
your average teenager,

except for the fact

that I've been deaf
since I was born,

and I can't really speak.

Your average teenager,
except for the deaf part,

and the fact that
my father was shot to death

outside a bar in McKees Rocks

a little over a year ago.

But all of this
isn't only about me.

All of this is more about
waiting for someone

you know
will never come back...

about that time
spent waiting...

and the people you meet
in the waiting room.

See, my dad was shot once,

in the stomach.

Walter Blount's sister
was raped, stabbed,

and hit over the head
eight times with a brick.

After she died,

her killer
tried to burn her body.

When that didn't work,

he left her
by the river's edge,

half covered
with a garbage bag.

You're up, Walter.

Feeling peckish?
Try Megabird.

What the cluck?

No. No...

Feeling peckish?
Try Megabird.

We're egg-cited to serv--

What the cluck?
Try Megabird.

Chicken, you're an asshole.

Don't say that!

Don't-- don't you say that!

That was
an interesting discussion

about how
a grandparent feels.

So many times,

extended family
gets forgotten

or neglected

in favor of spouses
and sons and daughters,

and your pain is just as real,

just as profound.

Thank you
for bringing that up today.

It was good stuff.

It's good stuff...

do I have to stay
for this?

Hush.

Linda Pietrysk
is going to share

the life
reconstruction book

she made
for her husband Larry.

Linda?

I really don't like
talking out loud

in front of people, but...

I know Gloria
is going next,

and she said
if I could, she could, so...

Um...

I went through
what I could find,

and so I'll just start

from when Larry and I first met,

and this is when he went away

to play A-ball out in Oregon.

Baseball didn't work out,
on account of his drinking,

so...

and, uh...

this is, um,
when our son Clay was born.

When he was alive,

my dad drank a lot
and collected guns.

My dad also had friends

who drank a lot
and collected guns.

One of those friends,
Mark Jankowski,

shot my dad
with one of those guns

after one of those nights
drinking.

People have different versions
of what happened.

No matter what the story,
I don't really care.

Mark Jankowski killed my dad.

And this is the last picture
I have of Larry.

It's, uh...

Mark is in it, the guy who...

but I kept it

because...

well, it's the last one I have.

So...

Thank you, Linda.

I know that was difficult.

Thank you.
It was good stuff.

Gloria Blount
has finished

the reconstruction
book

for her daughter.

Gloria?

Well, this is, uh,

the book that I made
for my daughter Annie.

Most of the pictures
have my son Walter in them

because they were...

they're twins, and...

Walter came
along with me today

because
I asked him to.

He didn't want to come.

Anyway, um...

Annie came first,

and Walter came
eight minutes later.

It was one of the few times
Walter came in second,

and, um...

Annie has
a little girl,

named Beth.

She's five.

She's my granddaughter.

She lives with us now.

And Annie was engaged
to this man named Brice...

see, me and Walter
have things in common,

not just the fact that
people we loved were murdered,

but the fact that we got stuck
with the things

that those people left behind.

Tell me.

No trouble.

What time will you be home?

Okay.

Love you.

There is simply
no direct evidence

connecting Tom Friedinger
to the murder of Annie Blount.

There's no forensic evidence.

There's no witnesses
to the crime itself,

nothing,

save for Mr. Friedinger's
communication with the decedent

an hour before
she was abducted and killed.

Yes, he liked to
walk her home at night,

particularly when she was drunk,
which she was that night.

Yes, he gave her presents
and wrote her letters

and sent her flowers,

but that does not mean
that he attacked her that night.

Strong feelings
for the victim

are not enough evidence
upon which to proceed!

Uh, particularly when
you take into account

Miss Blount's
lifestyle,

and the number of men
she's been with

in the last few years alone!

Again, your honor,

there simply is
not enough evidence

upon which to proceed.

Me and Walter,

We know how it feels

when a new day begins,

and someone
doesn't show up for it.

We know how it feels.

People need to have
something in common

to keep them close.

Something like a job,
or a hobby, or a sport...

or the wait
for something to change,

for justice...

All rise.

For fairness.

Court is adjourned.

But the wait
can get difficult...

Please bring the motion
to my chambers.

And after a while,

you can't just watch the story
go on without you.

After a while,

you take the story back.

You're not helping us
in there.

The way you sit
in that gallery

and glare
at Friedinger

makes Friedinger seem
even more sympathetic

than he already is.

Sympathetic?

Walter, he's a fat slob
with a low I.Q.

Who's never caught a break
in his life,

and you know
as well as I do

the evidence we've got

isn't exactly
going to fry him

without the jury
on our side.

Come to court,
just...

lighten it up,
you know?

So, Mrs. Pietrysk...

Hi.

Let some steam off
before you come in.

Jury selection
will take

the better part
of the week.

Each side
will have a chance

to rule out

any potential
problem jurors.

We'll get the right
people up there,

and we'll
start this thing.

Okay.

Okay?

Hi.

You're Gloria's son,
right?

Yeah.
Walter.

Walter, right.

Oh, God...

you can't smoke
in this damn place.

I'm here for
jury selection.

I heard
it can take a while.

That's what the prosecutor
was just telling me.

There's a snack machine
on the second floor,

in case you get hungry.

Thanks.

'Night.

Love you.

Love you, too, Ma.

Try your cluck
with daily free lunch drawings.

Suck cock, cock.

You shouldn't s--

you shouldn't--

What?

Don't be chicken,
try Megabird.

Oh, please.
Fuck off.

Most survivors turn
to the criminal justice system

for a kind of emotional support

in their need to see
their loved one's assailants

apprehended, prosecuted,

convicted, and punished.

Unfortunately,

the criminal
justice system

exists for society,

not for you
as an individual.

So whatever you believe

the appropriate punishment
for the murder is

will probably not
be doled out.

Even if the killer
gets the death sentence,

it ultimately will not
make you feel better.

Okay, that does it
for today.

Remember,
we set a date

for the charity
rummage sale,

and this should be
a great way

to let go of
those possessions

you've struggled
to get rid of,

as well as a good way
to raise money

for victims' families.

Good stuff.

Judge Wettick rejected
the defense's motions to dismiss

and for mistrial.

So, we're back to it.

I don't wish
to speak ill of the dead,

but she drank,

a lot.

She was promiscuous.

She had sexual relations
with many men.

Consequently,

it gave many men
reason to react to her.

That's not true...

She was a person

who put herself
into dangerous situations

with great frequency.

That's not true.

It has been established
in this court of law

that Miss Blount
was not even certain

who the father of her child is!

What are you saying
about my sister?

Mr. Blount.

He's telling a lie!

Mr. Blount.

He's--
that's a lie!

He's lying!

This is your last warning,
Mr. Blount.

But he doesn't know
anything about her!

Mr. Blount...

You're just going to
let him--

Mr. Blount...

You are so full of sh--

You are so f--

Walter?

What happened?

This defense attorney
basically

just called
my sister a wh...

Whore.

Oh, that's
not right.

Basically said

she brought it
on herself.

I'm sorry.

It's not enough that
he represents that...

that human
piece of crap,

but to call
my sister's honor

into question?

I wonder
what would happen

if we waited outside
for him later today

and beat the living shit
out of him.

I'd never even
been to court

before all of this
happened.

It's like a...

It's like a foreign
country in there.

The words they use
and how things happen,

it's-- it's...

it's like I got
on the wrong plane

and got off in some
fucked-up country

I'm not
supposed to be in.

You don't talk much,
do you?

I don't know.

Well, so,
what were you doing

before all of this
happened?

Wrestling.

Wrestling?

Yeah, um,
I was in Iowa,

training with
the national team,

and then...

it happens,
and I came home,

and I stayed.

How old are you?

24.

24,

and you want to
stay around here.

I just need to see
this thing through.

One way or another.

So, what do you do

when you're not
hanging around the courthouse?

W-what do you mean?

Well, I mean
for a living.

Do you work?

I'm a chicken.

The, uh...

well, the chicken that stands
outside of Megabird.

Are you the one
I told to fuck off?

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

Well, you were kind of just
staring at me.

I'm not very good at it.

The other guy
who wears the suit,

Jose, he, like,
dances...

Right.

And flaps his arms
and stuff.

Right, right, right.

Oh, you're the one
who sits on the...

the edge of the window.

The sad chicken.

Well, I work over
at the community center.

I oversee the special events,
mostly weddings.

I started doing it
after Larry was killed.

I was just kind of

walking around
in a haze, and...

anyway, my girlfriend,

she's head of human resources
over there,

so, you know, that's...

that's how
I got hired.

Do you like it?

The job?

They don't make me wear
a chicken suit.

No.

Oh, wrestling.

Right.

Jesus, Walter.

What the hell

Jesus Christ, Walter,
what the hell are you doing

Oh, uh, I made
an extra key for you

Lock up

Thank you.

Are you, uh...

No.

What?

I'm not wrestling

What the hell

Oh, yeah!

Hey, 'tard!

"Special" my ass.

Hey, you guys better
catch the other ones!

Come on, you too cool, buddy?

You can't talk to me?

We got one, boys,
the biggest one!

Want to run with me,

Want to run with me?

You too cool to talk

Come on, guy,

You ride the cart into school

In the back

Come on, tough guy.

Come on, retard, do something.

Don't just stand there.

You got to talk

What's up?
Do something.

Let's go, retard.

Are you going to
fight me or not?

What, you can't
hear me?

What are you,
deaf or something?

Let's go, buddy.

Do something.

Don't just stand there.

You hear what I'm saying to you?

I just wanted to know
if you want to fight me or not--

Hey!

"Special" my ass.

Hey, leave him
alone!

Take him out!

You all right, man?

You all right?

All right,
take it easy.

Hey, he sucker-punched me!

Take it easy.

Hey...

Hey!

I'm Walter.

I know your mother.

Give me the gun.

I'm serious.
Give it to me.

The gun.

Give me the gun.

Fucking pulled a gun
on me, the freak!

Kid starts kind of
shoving him and whatnot.

He put a pretty good
lickin' on him.

He, uh,
pulled out a gun.

Shit!

Shit...

I have to talk to him
for a second.

Will you hang around?

Are you--

No, you can't
have the gun back!

I know!

Look at me!

I know.

I know those kids
were teasing you.

Clay, you can't--

Clay, look--

Clay...

Would you mind
not doing that?

Why has he got a gun?

It was his father's.

No, what's he doing with it?

I'm not stupid, Walter.

I didn't give him bullets
or anything.

Forget it.
I'll take it away.

I have to now.

If he gets kicked out
of another school,

Fuck!

God, and the trial is starting,

and I don't know
what I'm going to do with him.

I have to
deal with this now, so...

Yeah.

Your mom told me you were
coming home soon,

so I just waited.

You want to go
get a beer

or something?

I'm not drinking.

I could probably
help you get a job

over where I'm working

if you wanted to,
you know,

Do something
indoors, or...

I'm okay.

I told you

about that girl
I was seeing, right?

Uh, yeah.

Grace.

She's pregnant.

I'm going to ask her
to marry me.

Okay.

And I wanted to know if,
you know,

maybe you could talk to your mom
about Annie's ring?

You know,
I didn't want to just...

I just thought it might
upset her, coming from me.

You know, and I can't afford
to buy another one.

But, I mean, if she
freaks out or something,

I understand.
It's cool.

I'm going to sell
Annie's record collection

in the rummage sale,

unless you want 'em.

Have you seen
my yellow sweatshirt?

Check the wash.

Which--
this wash?

Great, Ma.

Oh.

I let Beth help
with the laundry.

Well, now I've got to
go to the store

and buy another one
before work.

Why?

Because chickens
are yellow, Ma,

Not pink!

Maybe it's time you thought
about going back to Iowa.

Honey, Annie wouldn't want it
this way.

What way?

Well, you in a chicken suit
outside the Megabird, for one.

And you sitting
in that courtroom all day,

staring at Peggy Friedinger's
half-retarded son.

How would Annie
want it, Ma?

She'd probably
want you to be...

I don't know,
doing what you used to do

the way you used to do it.

Am I embarrassing you?

No, Honey.

You know what
Annie would want?

Annie would want it
to be made right.

She'd want it
to be fair.

I can fix you some eggs
or something.

By the way,
Brice stopped by.

He wants
Annie's ring back.

Oh?

Yeah, he got
some girl pregnant,

and now he wants to
give her Annie's ring.

Oh.

It's up in Beth's room,
in the dresser drawer.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What are
you doing?

Grammy says I can stay home
from school today.

What are you going to do
instead?

Is that you, Walter?

Yeah.

Hi.

Listen...

I just wanted
to come by, and...

Can you...

can you take off
that damn mask, please?

Yeah.

Thanks.

You know it's raining out.

Yeah.

And they make you
stand out here in the rain?

Yeah.

Want to get a coffee?

I don't
drink coffee.

I'll watch you
drink coffee.

Okay.

Just, I need
one second.

I just want to thank you
for helping Clay.

I'm afraid I...

I was bitchy.

So, anyway,
thanks.

What's going to happen with him?

Oh, the city put him
in this program.

What program?

Some genius
in the Mayor's office thinks

if you send a kid
to the coroner's office

and watch autopsies
on gunshot deaths

it'll change
his life.

Autopsies?

And this is a kid--

I mean, his father
was shot to death.

Listen,

I'm doing this wedding
Saturday night,

and I'm allowed to
bring someone...

Okay.

And it's not like
a date or anything,

I just need someone
to come with me.

Because I cr...

I cry too much at the weddings,

and I...

I just can't seem
to stop it,

and I just--
I think about Larry,

and I-- and I lose it, and...

anyway, so my friend is saying

maybe I shouldn't do it anymore
if I can't control my emotions,

so I was thinking, well,

maybe if I had
someone with me...

I wouldn't feel
so sorry for myself.

You know, if you want to come.

Oh...

Out.

I have to get dressed.

Out.

Hi, Walter.

Hey.

You look nice.

Thank you.

That's...
You...

Oh.

Is this weird?

Going to a wedding

where you don't
know anybody?

I guess.

I...

I just feel
kind of stupid

asking for
your help now.

It's okay.

I was just going to
watch TV,

so...

Okay.

So...

Okay.

Thank you.

So, this wedding
we're going to...

Yeah?

It's a beautiful
story, really.

Um, they met
in their church choir,

and, um, well,
her father is dead,

but was military,

and her uncle
is walking her

down the aisle,

and the flag

that was over
her father's coffin

is going to be placed
in an empty seat

in the front row.

Oh, and then
the bride and groom

are going to sing
to each other, and...

Oh,
and she's pregnant.

You said
you didn't want to cry.

...for better
for worse,

in good times and in bad,
for richer, for poorer...

in sickness,
and in health,

so long as you both
shall live?

I do.

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

Ow!

You may kiss
your bride.

You're having a terrible time.

Nope.

I'm just watching.

Yeah.

They're all so happy,
aren't they?

Have you ever been married?

No.

No.
Close?

No, I've just been...

Wrestling, you know?

Mm.

Wrestling.

No kids?

Sometimes I help watch
my sister's daughter.

She's five, and a half.

So I help with her.

Oh.

Hey, pretty lady.

Hey!

Hey, come dance
with me.

Oh, no.

That's cool
with you, right?

Come on, now.

Okay.

You arranged
all this, right?

Okay.

...so open,

and he was
so gentle with her.

Yeah.
He was nice.

Wasn't he?

He seems like
a really nice guy.

He's the greatest guy.

Yeah.

I'm sorry
I got drunk.

Oh, that's okay.

That's...

I'm sorry I looked at
your drawings.

Oh...

I don't know why
I did that.

No, it's all right.

I'm sorry
I got weird about it.

I liked them, though.
They're good.

I-I like how there
aren't any people in them.

You don't
have to say that.

No, I did.
They...

I...

There's something
about an empty room.

I don't... there's
something about...

something
interesting about

what might happen next,

because you don't know.
It could...

Yeah, I guess.

You just hope
it's going to be good,

though, you know?

For whoever
steps inside.

At least I do.

That's really nice,
Walter.

Oh, my God!

Jesus, that's Clay.

What?

Can you stop the bus?

Clay!

Damn it, Clay!

What the hell
are you doing?

Go home!

No, just go
the fuck home!

This is where the guy
who killed my husband

used to live.

Thank you.

I'm sorry
about my son.

Linda?

What?

Could you ask Clay

to meet me
in the gym

first thing
Monday morning,

Before school?

Why?

Just ask him.

7:30 in the gym?

Okay.

'Night.

Thank you
for the wedding.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Oh, use
a plate, huh?

You were on a date last night.

Kind of.
Not really.

You were with Linda, huh?

Yeah.

Nice.

That's nice.

I guess.

I need your help
with the rummage sale.

I'm not hanging out with you
and your support group friends.

I'm not asking you
to come, Walter.

I need help
cleaning out the garage.

I can't lift
half that stuff, okay?

Fine.

Thank you.

It's nice you have a new friend.

I went to a wedding
that she was working at.

That's it.

Okay, let's go!

Good, good!

Explode!

Hey...

One more,
up you go!

I don't know
how to talk to you,

so I just wrote some stuff down.

This is about the team, okay?
Hey...

Ah, good one!

That's what
I like to see.

This is a permission slip

you've got to get
your ma to sign, all right?

Just...

Okay,
watch it!

I think you'd be good at it.

Keep those feet
together.

At least it'll help you
work off some of that stuff.

And again.

Come on, pick it up!

Wrestling helped me a lot
when I was your age.

All right, take five.

That's the coach.

He's going to talk to you now.

Tommy was home by 11:00.

How do you
know that?

The news just started.

We watched it together.

The 11:00 news?

That's right.

We always watch
the news together,

and then
the late show after.

So at 11:00,

at least an hour before
the coroner said

the murder took place,

your son Thomas
was home with you?

That's what I said.

No more questions.

You may step down,
Mrs. Friedinger.

Walter, hey.

Hey.

So, uh...

Grace said yes when I proposed.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Can I get in here for a second?

Yeah, sorry.

She's not going to tell
her parents she's pregnant

until after the wedding,

so we're moving
pretty fast here.

Okay.

So we want you to be
in the wedding party.

I mean,
you and your mom

should be part of this,
you know?

It just
wouldn't be right

if you all weren't
part of this.

Great.

Hey...

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thanks, man.

Yeah.

How's he doing?

Wrestling's
a lot different

than fist-fighting.

Yeah.

But he stuck it through
the whole practice,

and he's still
at it.

I'll help him.

All right, you guys!

No conditioning
tomorrow morning,

light workout
tomorrow after school.

Okay, good.

You did good.

Come on,
off you go!

All right, good!

Are you sure this is
going to be all right?

Yeah, deaf kids
can wrestle. He's...

Okay.

You just, uh...

You might
want to get him

some Ben-Gay
or something.

And tell him
to take a hot shower

Before he goes to bed,

just so he doesn't
cramp up too much.

Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

you have heard all the evidence.

Now it is my duty
to instruct you

on the law
that applies to this case.

You must base your decision
on the facts and the law,

and you must determine
these facts

from the evidence received
in this trial,

and not from any other sources.

Hey...

Hey.

The jury's deliberating.

Oh.

Hi.

They're breaking
until Monday.

Sometimes it takes
a few hours,

sometimes it takes
a few days.

Friday's not a great day
to start deliberating, so...

they'll bring something
back next week.

I'm sure of it.

So, what are you
going to do with yourself

this weekend?

I don't know.

I have another wedding
on Saturday night.

You know,
if you want to kill some time.

They met on the internet.

He's in a wheelchair.

She's works at a gym
in South Hills

teaching some exercise classes.

He's a professor at, uh,
CMU, in computers.

She's never even
been to college.

It's crazy.

So, you know, something to do.

Are you going to
say anything or not?

Uh, sure.

I-I'd...

I'll come.

I'll come
with you.

Okay.

I'd like that.

Okay.

Oh.

They're starting up,
so...

I'll see you later.

Okay, tomorrow
at, uh, 5:00.

Oh, your friend,
um, Brice,

came in here
with his fiancee

the other day.

Guess they're using
the community center

for the wedding.

Anyway, I told them
I'd help them out.

You know,
save some money.

That's nice.

Come on, Linda.

I want you
to dance.

We'll show you,
come on.

You want to dance?

No, I don't dance.

No, neither did
my husband.

Well, I'm going to.

You don't have to,
but I'm going to.

I want everybody to dance.

I want everybody
to have fun.

Come on, Linda.

I'm sorry.

You're working.

Yeah, but I left you
sitting in here

for, like, an hour.

It's fine.
You're working.

It's-- it's okay.

I just had to make sure
all the unused bottles

weren't billed

and the rose petals
were put away.

You going to
close up, Linda?

Oh, yeah, go on.
I'll-- I'll do it.

Thank you
for helping.

Oh, uh, yeah.
No problem.

You know, you don't
have to keep coming

to these things

if it's boring
for you.

No, it's--
it's okay. It's--

You sure?

Yeah, I had fun,
so...

Yeah, in your way.

In my way?

Yeah, your...

I know I'm a lot
older than you,

and I know I'm all...

fucked up.

No, please don't stop.

Please keep going.

No, just, please,
before I think too much.

Hi.

I...

I want you to
hold onto this for me.

If I tell Clay

you're keeping it for him--

I don't want it.

He won't
argue with me.

I can't have it
around here.

I don't want it.

To Clay...

this is what he has left
of his dad.

I can't just
throw it away.

I haven't,
since Larry died,

even been able
to talk to someone,

let alone
be with someone.

Yeah, I just, um...

I think I'd better
get going.

Come on!

I'm sorry about
throwing you like that.

It's part of
the sport.

I didn't
mean anything by it.

Around this time
about a year ago

I was a couple
tournaments away

from making
the national team.

There was this guy, Packer,

and this other guy
from Northeast Pennsylvania.

Said he'd give me
a run for it, but...

man, I was close.

Then one day I'm...

in the middle of a workout.

One of the trainers comes in.

I could just tell by the way
she was looking at me

that something...
really horrible had happened.

So I take the first bus home.

I get there,
and everything is just a mess.

My little niece is asking
where her mommy is,

Annie's fiance, he's just...

he's in shock.

He's in no position to take her,

and my mom just starts talking,

just non-stop,

just to anybody that'll listen.

It's, like,
nobody's thinking about anything

except for themselves.

Not about Annie,

not about the guy
that killed her.

I mean, am I so screwed up

to be constantly thinking
about this guy?

I got no idea
what you're talking about.

Just tell your mom,

and she'll tell me.

In the matter of
the people of the Commonwealth

versus Mark Henry Jankowski,

case number T-O 21554.

We, the jury
in the above-entitled action,

find the defendant,
Mark Henry Jankowski,

guilty of the crime
of murder

in violation of Penal Code
187-A, a felony,

upon Lawrence James
Pietrysk,

a human being.

Hey...

You okay?

Clay's asleep.

Do you want to
help me?

Mm-hm.

Turn the light out.

What?

I don't...
Do you want this?

Write it down?

What?

Mom...

What are you doing?

Cleaning up
for the rummage sale.

I see that.

Thanks for getting
all that crap out of here.

Mom, the verdict.

The verdict's in an hour.

You're not coming?

I'm going to church.

Whatever Tom Friedinger gets

isn't going to
change anything for me.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

I am going to ask

that you carefully listen
to the verdicts

as they are being read
by the clerk.

After they have been read,

you will be asked
if these are your verdicts.

I caution the audience
to remain calm

during the reading
of these verdicts.

Any disruption will mean being
removed from the courtroom.

Mr. Friedinger,

please stand and face the jury.

Miss Nedved?

Superior Court
of the Commonwealth

of the Commonwealth

case number SA-21423.

not guilty
of the crime of murder

Ladies and gentlemen

is this your verdict,

so say you one, so say you all?

Walter?

Are you okay?

Is there anything
I can do?

Want to be
left alone?

Sir!

Sir...

Yes?

I've changed my mind.

Excuse me?

The records.

Here's your money back.

I-I don't want to sell them
anymore.

We agreed on a price.

I think I paid you
fairly.

No, but it's not
about the money.

I want my daughter's
records back.

Sir, you should probably
give her her records back.

What's your
problem, man--

Give her
her records back.

Gloria...

Remember why
we're doing this.

Just take your damn money.

Please? Please?

Gloria?
Gloria, just take a breath--

Fuck you, Hank.

I want my daughter's
records back.

Gloria,
remember why

we're doing this.

We're trying to get--

Jesus, lady.

Take the records.
I'm sorry.

Take them.

I'm sorry.

Take 'em.

Just g-give me...

give me
the Alan Parsons Project.

I gave that to her.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Hank.

You hit me with
a goddamn umbrella!

I'm sorry.

What, this is funny?

This is funny?

Yeah, okay.

Okay, good stuff.

Oh yeah.

Good stuff.

It's okay.

It's okay...

What happened?

He was...

They found him not guilty.

They're letting him out today.

Hmm.

We could use some help
with the refreshments, Walter,

if it's not too much trouble.

Walter...

Clay made varsity.

He's wrestling against Peabody.

Good.

He-- he wants you
to come to the meet--

Walter, please, the mask.

You want to
come over later,

maybe?

Okay.

What the cluck?
Try Megabird.

What the cluck?

What the cluck?
Try Megabird.

Hello, Tom.

What?

What the cluck?
Try Megabird.

Try Megabird, Tom.

You okay?

Yeah.

No, I just, I...

I got him into this.

No, he'll be fine.

Wrestlers...

Shake hands.

Wrestle!

Red!

Out!

Come on, buddy!

Green, you're down.

Man on...

One, two...

Again!

Let's go again.

Ready?

Wrestle!

That's it,
come on, get him!

Underhook
over and under!

Hit it, hit it!

Yeah!

One, two, three...

Way to go, Clay,
you did it!

Yeah!

You won.

You won!

Get going.

I haven't seen Clay
that happy in years.

He was so happy.

He was so
proud of himself.

The way he looked
at you afterward...

so was this
anything more for you

than just...

waiting?

It is for me.

It has been...

more.

So you're not going to
just disappear on us, then?

Linda...

'Cause me and Clay,
you know, we...

we really like you.

Well, we love you

is what I mean.

How many times
did you hit her?

How many times?

How many fucking times
did you...

hit her?

It wasn't me!

It wasn't...

It wasn't me.

You used a knife,

and a brick!

And you burnt her body!

No, no, no!

I was the other guy
from the bar!

I was the only one
that was nice to her!

You killed her!

No, I tried to walk her home
that night,

and she wouldn't let me!

And she
wouldn't let me...

and she wouldn't let me...

I was her friend.

I tried!

I was her friend.

I'm not going to tell anybody
what happened, okay?

Can I go now, please?

Can I please
go now?

Clay.

What are you doing?

Go home.

Go home, Clay.

Go home!

Go! Go!

The Judge ruled these
inadmissible,

but we interviewed
every one of these guys,

and they all
substantiated that...

well...

you know.

There wasn't much of a case
against my client.

I'm sorry, Mr. Blount.

Walter?

What?

He didn't do it.

What?

He didn't do it.

He was trying
to help her.

I'm sorry.

He was doing

what I should have
been doing.

I should have been there,
but I left her...

No.

And so all she had
to rely on

was someone like that,
that's what she...

Shh... No, no.

Shh...

That's what she had...

It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.

Let me take care of you.

Let me help you.

Okay?

Let me love you.

What are we, really?

What?

What are we?

To each other?

We're just
sad reminders of--

Walter, stop.

You have your conviction.

What do I have?

I have nothing.

I have this.

I'm a fucking
chicken!

You don't have to
be afraid.

I'm not going to
ask you to save me.

And I'm not going to
disappear on you--

I'm not--
I'm not afraid!

I'm going back to Iowa.

I can't...

I can't be here anymore.

I'm sorry.

Hey...

You know,
when I was eight,

I asked Grammy

if I could have
the basement.

Because I didn't want
to share my room

with a girl anymore.

Your mom was
pretty mad about that.

She used to sneak down
into my room

and crawl into my bed
after I fell asleep.

Just like you.

So that's why Grammy
bought her this,

to keep her company
at night.

It would make her
feel better.

So...

I think it's time
for you to have this.

Hey...

It's for you.

I don't know
what you're saying.

I can't...

"Man?"

Is this about that man?

I don't know.

I don't know anymore.

It's the key to the weight room.

Coach Partenheimer says

he thinks you'll
do well next year.

If you keep at it,

he thinks you might
make sectionals, so...

you'll be all right.

I have to work tonight.

Please...

Stay home.

Please.

Love you.

Hey...

Hey.

I've spent my entire life...

waiting.

Thinking...

I didn't deserve
any better than I got--

my husband and his drinking,

my son,

my life on the South Side.

You know what?

I like it here.

I love the grey sky,

and the old buildings,

and the smells

coming from the houses

and the stores, and...

I love raising my son here,

And I love being with you.

I'm sorry I'm so sad.

It's just that I know,

if you would let me, I...

I could take good care of you.

And I know if you wanted to,

you'd be good to me and Clay.

I know you would
because you already are.

I just had to...

before you leave...

tell you how I felt.

Nothing more.

Linda.

I made a mistake.

Clay's not here.

He took his gun.

I have no idea
where to look.

It's okay.
It's okay.

I got it.

Hello.

Can I help you?

Clay!

Go, Mom!

Go!

Clay!

You shot him.

You shot him!

Walter!

Walter...

I collect goldfish.

I understand them,

living underwater
in a little bowl...

"hearing nothing.

Just watching
through the glass..."

My name is Clay Pietrysk.

I'm basically
your average teenager.

Except for the fact

that I've been deaf
since I was born,

and I can't really speak.

Good job.

Love you.

I love you, Mom.

But all of this
isn't only about me...

all of this is more about
waiting for someone

you know
will never come back...

About that time spent
waiting...

and the people you meet

in the waiting room.
