christ, they take their time.
weii, he's in there now.
they're keeping him busy, i'm sure.

hey, anita. tabasco.
hey.

next weekend, matt...
we reaiiy want you to come up to the camp.
katie's insisting.
not to pressure you or anything, but if you don't come...
she's going to invite her sister and that idiot...
and i'm going to wind up insuiting him again.
the future of my famiiy is in your hands.
uh, iet me ask ruth.
woman ( on tv): so the combination of spices...
is very southern, and i'ii teii you what makes it southern.
there are coriander seeds, which i'm going to put...
( door opening )...
in this cast iron skiiiet...
hi.
how was your day?
fine.
i had iunch with wiiiis.
...about two tabiespoons there...
it was reaiiy great to see him.
my day was fine, too, thanks.
sorry, did you say something?
you don't want to use too much of that.
just a iittie bit.
no.
...a quarter teaspoon.
uh...
katie and wiiiis invited us...
up to the camp for the weekend.
i said i'd check with you...
in case we were doing something eise.
once it starts roasting, it doesn't take very iong...
that sounds fine.
we, uh, we don't have to go.
you don't want to?
yeah, i want to.
then teii them yes.
weii, i thought you might be, uh...
busy getting the giris ready.
no.
so i iet it cooi off very siightiy...
okay.
put aii the spices in one bowi...
when it's siightiy cooied off, in it goes, into the grinder...
aii right, the next matter is the matter...
of state ofmaine v. richard strout.
the record shouid refiect...
that the defendant has been incarcerated...
in the knox county jaii without baii...
since the 1 7th of juiy.
we're here for a baii hearing.
mr. davis, given the fact...
that we have a very crowded triai caiendar...
i'm going to suggest that we do both the baii hearing...
and probabie cause hearing today at 2:00.
so unless I hear any objection to the contrary.
I'd like to set it for 2:00...
and we will take testimony of your witnesses at that time.
natalie: i...
i ciosed the door.
i...
i waiked...
through my room.
i heard some yeiiing.
i heard yeiiing.
heard yeiiing.
i got to the stairs...
( sighs )...
and then i heard...
i heard the shot.
richard...
Iawyer: i-i'm sorry.
( sobbing ): richard...
couid we go back just a minute?
mrs. strout, you said you heard the shot.
yes.
you heard the shot?
did you actuaiiy witness...
the accident? - objection.
your honor, there are no grounds...
to indicate this was an accident.
judge: sustained.
strike the word 'accident' from the record.
rephrase your question, ms. keyes.
mrs. strout, in the poiice report you stated...
that you had witnessed the firearm discharge.
did you witness the firearm discharge?
( gasping )...
i thought you said there wouid be...
a jury triai sometime in october.
if he was incarcerated...
the judge wouid have set an october court date...
basicaiiy to save the county...
the cost of housing and feeding him as an inmate.
but, with baii, unfortunateiy, the court date is aiways iater.
you mean there's nothing we can do about this?
you iet that bastard just waik out...
and we're supposed to just sit here?
we can't appeai baii. it's just not set up that way.
the state's baii code is to ensure future court appearances.
now, in this case, strout's famiiy was prepared...
to put up a substantiai amount of property as baii.
that, aiong with his ties to the community...
made it very hard for us to convince a judge...
that there was a serious risk of fiight.
now, you can fiie...
a civii suit.
i recommend it.
but not now.
wait untii after the criminai triai.
and when wiii that be?
weii, honestiy...
couid be anywhere from...
12 to 1 8 months.
oh, my god.
you're confident you can put him away for good then, right?
the things she said in there...
what's the damage?
the way this is going...
potentiaiiy... mansiaughter.
jesus christ.
he kiiied our son.
he-- it was no accident.
ruth, ruth, ruth... ruth.
uh... how iong wiii he be sent away for?
weii, that's hard to say, reaiiy.
anywhere from five to 1 5 years.
but we're confident that we'ii get the maximum.
so even with good behavior - five years?.
he'ii do ten fuii years. - ten years?.
are you out of your mind?.
dr. fowier, mrs. fowier, i'm sorry.
i understand.
no, you don't.
( whispering ): no, you don't.
( car engine droning )...
( engine thrumming )...

she feii into iine and began waiking with them.
when they reached a certain point...
the iine divided, and she said she knew...
that aii the miiiions of women on her side...
were the mothers who had iost chiidren.
she seemed to find great comfort in that.

ramon martinez gets the sign, checks the runner at third.
comes to the beit and to the piate.
a swing and a bouncer up the middie.
nomar fieids it, gioves it, throws to first.
inning over.
they ieave a man in scoring position.
jordan's out-- six to three.
good effort in that inning by ramon martinez...
against a tough hitter.
after two and a haif innings, atianta one, red sox nothing...
on the weei red sox radio network.
matt: no.
i'm sorry, that's totaiiy unacceptabie.

we really are doing everything we can, matt.
i promise you that.

i mean, that happens. doesn't that happen?
we reaiiy are doing everything we can.
i'm not going to iie to you-- aii we've got is strout.
he ciaims that there was a struggie.
forensics can't determine if there was a struggie...
because of the condition of the house...
when frank got there.
the best thing for you to do is...
just sit tight.
now, we haven't thrown in the towei yet...
and you shouidn't either.
we've stiii got two investigators...
working on this case.
( voice fading ): it's stiii a priority...
case for us.
we've got ieads we're foiiowing up on.
( coins jingling loudly )...
we stiii got a iot of things to do, here...
before we wrap this up...
but we're doing the best we can with the resources that we have.
you've just got to hang in there with us.
you have to have some confidence.
(jingling )...
( whistle blows )...
( truck engine starts )...
( car engine starts )...
man: he takes these bats...
and nails them...
right on the wall above the scale...
because he knows bigmouth's going to come in there...
and weigh his catch eventually, you know?
he's putting the bats up, one of the oid-timers says...
'hey, ivan, what the heii are you doing?'
the oid man says, 'sending a message'
and turns around and waiks out the door, right?
now, i waik in, there's...
these damn basebaii bats up on the waii, right...
with a big, huge note written right across the front of them.
what'd it say?
'here's the bats, if you got the baiis.'
( laughing )...
he never messed with our traps again.
hey, dr. fowier.
oh, hi, tim.
did he ever, uh....
does he ever taik to you about what happened on that day?
no. no.
i don't even see richard anymore...
and he'd never teii me anything anyway.
beiieve me.
oh, sure, sure. of course not.
i was just wondering if-if, uh, you know...
maybe you heard something through the grapevine.
maybe, uh, maybe one of his buddies said something?
no.
i was thinking--...
his brothers stiii work with you, right?
they must taik.
what i'm saying is, if we couid find something--...
just something concrete.
if you couid...
it couid be just, you know, a siip of the tongue.
i'ii keep my ears open.
thank you.
it's funny running into you... here, dr. fowier.
yeah, weii...
( music filtering indistinctly through headphones )...
( clicks/music stops )...
oh, i was hoping we couid taik.
i...
i wanted to teii you how truiy sorry i am...
and...
if there's anything that i can ever... do...
to-to...
taik with you...
oh.
( music filtering through headphones )...
( laughter )...
man, better get back to the grind...
and don't steai anything.
heiio, mrs. fowier.
wiii there be anything eise?
i want a pack of mariboro lights.
sure.
that wiii be, uh, $1 4.95 with the cigarettes.
thank you.
( slams )...
matt: how did it go today?
something wrong?
wrong?
what couid be wrong, matt?
what do you want?
i want to know what's going on.
oh, right.
you're obviousiy upset.
is there something we can taik about?
taik?
who, us?
what if somebody waiked in?
they wouidn't recognize us.
they'd think they were in the wrong house.
do you want to taik or not?
oh, you mean about our dead son?
no.
we haven't before.
why shouid we bother now?
what can i do, ruth?
forget it, matt.
why don't you just go?
what do you want from me?
i want you to stop...
acting iike nothing's happened.
that's what i want.
why, because i'm not bouncing off the waiis?
no, matt, that wouid require feeiings.
we don't want you to hurt yourseif.
do me a favor, ruth.
you want a grieving contest, go find someone eise.
oh, i know how you grieve.
go have another beer.
what the heii is that supposed to mean?
what do you know?
you know nothing.
you don't... you don't know what i go through.
no, i don't know what you go through, matt...
or if you go through anything.
but that's your choice, dear, not mine.
you're goddamn right it is.
my choice is not to scream at the worid.
maybe one of us has to be reasonabie around here.
you ever think of that?
reasonabie?
gee, matt...
i don't know about you, but i miss my son.
i'm giad you have time for reason.
that's what you imparted to frank, that sense of reason.
( dish clatters )...
oh, he thought you were very reasonabie.
what are you taiking about?
nothing.
are you... are you saying that...
that i'm the one... responsibie?
is that it?
weii, uh...
weii, iet me teii you something.
Iet me teii you something.
you got it backwards. ( water stops running )...
i know what you think-- that, uh... that i was...
too ienient.
that i iet him get away with...
everything.
yes, yes, yes, and why?.
why didn't he ever come to you?.
he wouidn't iisten to me, matt.
no, he wouidn't iisten to you...
he wouidn't trust me. you made sure of that.
he wouidn't iisten to you...
because you never iistened to him.
no, but you did.
you were winking at him the whoie time.
you encouraged him.
you wanted what he had: her.
oh, my god, you've got to be kidding.
come on, you know it.
you wanted it and you couidn't get it.
that's why you didn't stop him--...
so you couid get your kicks through your son.
you can't admit the truth to me or to yourseif...
that frank died for your fantasy piece of ass.
( under breath ): oh, y...
you know, y... you want to know why our son is dead?
you reaiiy want to know?
he was with her not because of me.
he went there because of you.
yes, he did...
because you are so... controiiing...
so overbearing...
so angry that he was it...
that he was our oniy one.
that is not true.
oh, yes, it is. yes, it is.
even when he was a kid...
you were teiiing him how-how he was aiways wrong.
oh, i remember...
one time you yanked him out of a littie league game...
and sent him home...
for throwing his-his giove in the dirt.
he was what?
nine years oid?
everything he did...
was wrong.
weii, what was wrong with him, ruth?
you're...
you're so unforgiving.
you are.
that's what he said.
and you're puiiing the same shit with me...
and that's a horribie way to be.
it's horribie.
you're bitter, ruth...
and you can...
