00:00:00You
00:00:30Oh
00:01:00Oh
00:01:30Oh
00:01:45Another working day, this wound is never gonna heal
00:01:53Still living in my mind the pain I'll always be
00:02:00It's just like yesterday
00:02:03like change
00:02:31You say I should change my world to better suit your view
00:02:39Same story every day your rant is nothing
00:02:50To show you
00:03:00How powerful is the Word of God on the men he created
00:03:03Is God's Word strongest through his teachings in the Bible or is it strongest through the teachings of the people he put in this world?
00:03:10When sister Victoria arrived to help me
00:03:13I don't think she knew the answer to these questions and I don't think she intended to stay with me for more than a few
00:03:19Days, but one way or another she didn't want me to take revenge
00:03:23She simply wanted us all to follow the Word of God
00:03:30A little sweetheart must be here to brighten my day. I don't think so
00:03:41Hello, hi
00:03:44I'm sister Victoria
00:03:47I'm here for your brother John
00:03:50You're the one
00:03:53I'm Pam. This is Miles. I
00:03:57Guess you're gonna need help with your bags. I
00:04:01Don't have much
00:04:04Let me bring you in to meet mother I
00:04:08Have 50 properties and a 200 square mile radius and just my two kids and one country bumpkin
00:04:16They helped me move it
00:04:18You certainly worded off your competition. No, there's no competition never has been
00:04:22My husband got restless all sorts of that
00:04:26And John he wasn't interested in the family business
00:04:29John no John
00:04:32He was not the least bit interested. He wanted no part of it. He was just too busy being a superhero
00:04:38you see he
00:04:41He enlisted in the army. I mean by that not drafted he enlisted and
00:04:46Then he spent about three years of his life just running around Vietnam like he was invincible
00:04:53And he wasn't fuzzy. Oh, this is Carrick. None of us are
00:04:58No, I
00:05:01Can take you to see John when we finish acting if you like I'd like that I
00:05:08Am here to help
00:05:11You won't let anybody help
00:05:13Certainly not me. I think I told you that on the phone. Didn't I easy? Oh
00:05:18He wouldn't get a help from anyone. You didn't like the idea of a man teacher and certainly not a woman teacher
00:05:25You know, he might appreciate the help of a nun
00:05:31I'm still a woman. This is Karen
00:05:34This is Victor, I'm really very sorry, it's okay
00:05:58How can I know what sister Victoria looks like
00:06:01Sometimes she looks like one person to me
00:06:03Sometimes she looks totally different. She's a redhead and then she's a blonde. I guess that's just a function of a blind man's mind
00:06:25John
00:06:33Will you wake up for me
00:07:03You have declared his nation's invasion of house is still underway
00:07:07Mr.
00:07:08team made the statement today while telling truths on the northern front about a Saigon commando raid on the Vietnamese base in the
00:07:15Laotian panhandle
00:07:17Allied officers say between 200 and 300 government soldiers were airlifted into Laos
00:07:26You know mother's not always the spitter
00:07:29She's actually really a wonderful sweet woman
00:07:33it's just
00:07:35These last six months have been so difficult
00:07:38there's so much time at the hospital and then
00:07:41now here
00:07:43We have to help Johnny with everything
00:07:47He's very proud man before he said
00:07:50He was
00:07:52Now he needs help from me mother and miles to eat shower to get dressed
00:07:58My brother was a hero and now he is so helpless mother just gets
00:08:07And then we all get frustrated sometimes
00:08:13Johnny you know
00:08:19I'm not particularly thrilled about
00:08:22Having a nun in our home for a while
00:08:25Maybe if you just let her help you
00:08:28If you work with her a little bit
00:08:30No, I think that you should
00:08:33Let her help you
00:08:34God knows that's why she's here
00:08:38So if you just please
00:08:45Fine
00:08:55The
00:08:57Wild winds blow in the canyon echoes howl with a spray of acidic dust and ancient artifacts
00:09:05Green is black and black and white are gone
00:09:07And alone he stands as man's first and man's last
00:09:11Looking out at the desolate ruin of populace
00:09:15idly monitoring the ash of concrete jungle
00:09:18human indiscretion and innocent wildlife species
00:09:22It is apocalypse now
00:09:25You
00:09:33Hello John, how are you?
00:09:38You look good

00:11:10Finally you'll get up
00:11:20Oh
00:11:32When a word is not enough
00:11:38Eternity
00:11:41Between you and me
00:11:50I
00:12:21What are you trying to do to me
00:12:29Do you think you'll ever get through to me
00:12:43Do you gentle touch what I need
00:12:50Is someone to trust
00:13:04He's not responding at all, maybe he won't respond to you, but perhaps he'll respond to the good system
00:13:11If the spirits aren't improving give him one of these
00:13:15Thank you, and how are you holding up Doris? I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm not the patient here
00:13:21I'm just being concerned
00:13:23Look, would you like to have a cup of tea?
00:13:26No, no, thank you
00:13:28Maybe I could interest you in a glass of wine. No
00:13:32No, I wouldn't and you shouldn't have any either. Oh, all right. Thank you. Dr. Conchie
00:13:39Goodbye Doris goodbye. Goodbye sister, Victoria and
00:13:42God help you. Thank you. Dr. Conchie. He always does
00:14:12Mother superior
00:14:19Well, you know that I have dedicated my life to the service of God and now I'm helping children at st
00:14:26Anthony's I love teaching them and and helping them develop their characters
00:14:35But I feel that I have another calling another calling
00:14:39Greater than educating young boys and girls to become good Catholics
00:14:44This man has no means of communication. He can touch and he can
00:14:50He can hear but he's completely cut off from the outside world
00:14:55He more than anyone
00:14:58Needs somebody to help him
00:15:02Somebody to help him
00:15:04He needs me to help him
00:15:08Sister Victoria, I know that you have great compassion for this man who suffered so terribly
00:15:15But why do you think you should give up your vocation? You're teaching children to help this man
00:15:22Mother superior I cannot bear the thought of this man living in dark
00:15:27Isolation for the rest of his life and I can help him
00:15:30And then the king will say to those at his right hand come Oh blessed of my father inherit the kingdom prepared for you
00:15:38From the foundation of the world
00:15:40For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink
00:15:45I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you clothed me. I
00:15:51Was sick and you visited me
00:15:54I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink
00:15:59I
00:16:01Was in prison
00:16:03And you came to me I
00:16:07Can help this man
00:16:12You do know that you would have to take a leave of absence from the church, yes
00:16:18an exploitation
00:16:20That's right
00:16:29All right, John Carrick you are gonna get up and start your new life this morning get up John

00:17:47You're gonna keep listening to me right back
00:17:55Here it is
00:17:59No, Johnny up to now you've been communicating by by shaking your head yes and nodding no, is that right?
00:18:06Yes, but you have more to say than yes and no
00:18:12Your questions to ask you have questions to answer
00:18:18What you need is a system to communicate so that you can say anything you want
00:18:24I
00:18:27Have brought you a chalkboard so that you can write on it. I want you to feel it
00:18:41That's it
00:18:43See
00:18:52Okay
00:18:57All right, well we're gonna set up a system so that you can signal me if you ever need anything
00:19:03Two taps means that you're signaling me and for anything. All right
00:19:10Three taps and that means that you need chalk so that you can write something
00:19:16Taps
00:19:23John I know that you're saying to yourself, but how am I gonna write on this board, right? Is that what you're saying?
00:19:29I
00:19:31Have a very large piece of chalk and it will fit between your two arms
00:19:36You just need to grip it tightly. Come on John you can do this there see

00:20:06You can do it John you can do it
00:20:09I'm gonna hold the chalk with you right now. That's it. See you're writing. All right, you can do it on your own

00:22:09You still haven't got those guys, I mean, where could they be and for this long
00:22:15Maybe they're not holding off
00:22:17Maybe they're dead already Gary and Walt Pepperdine. They're really like their old man
00:22:23Like the old man was mean and resourceful
00:22:27These guys aren't dead
00:22:29There's somewhere maybe halfway across the country. They are somewhere. Good afternoon. I'm sister Victoria. I'm Jerry Dunlop
00:22:37Johnny's teacher. This is Ross Hardy. Hi, I'm glad to have you here
00:22:41They used to work with Johnny
00:22:43We really want to see him. It's real important to us. I think today is a good day
00:22:49We really have to see him
00:22:52me too
00:22:53please
00:22:56If something happened
00:22:58I'm sorry to say this
00:23:00We don't have anything yet
00:23:02Is John all over the place everywhere for these guys, you know that
00:23:09Every county is still looking for we're gonna nail them to the wall Johnny. I'm not gonna get away with this
00:23:14We're gonna get them no matter what
00:23:32We
00:23:48Intend to John
00:23:51Dear mother superior. I feel so grateful for the ability to write
00:23:57John Carrick no longer has this ability
00:23:59He's been left without sight speech
00:24:02her hands
00:24:04I'm trying to discover who he is and and what he experiences in his daily life
00:24:10At the same time I picture myself in my normal environment to help me
00:24:15I wish these kids could have just one day to not wear their school uniform one day to wear whatever they wanted
00:24:22Come on, sister Victoria, you know that the uniforms integral to the school's values
00:24:27respect for authority
00:24:29Discipline yes. Yes, but they're all unique individuals all with a special
00:24:34Abilities and talents something special to contribute. Why should they all look the same?
00:24:39You're a wonderful teacher
00:24:42You have the most gentle patient way with the children and the parents speak very highly about you to mother superior
00:24:49But do not start putting crazy ideas in their heads about looking like individuals here at school
00:24:55What makes you think that I would do something like that, oh
00:25:01Well, you are the only sister who plays jump rope and hopscotch with the girls at recess time
00:25:06I do miss the other sisters you and the children
00:25:11Thank you so much for supporting me
00:25:14But I must be going now. I need to get back to my work here with John
00:25:25Oh
00:25:46Hey, what did you say I couldn't get a word you were saying cuz I'm lost
00:25:55lost in a dream
00:25:57Dream about some but days when we were young
00:26:01I want to run my toes through the grass. I wanna feel the Sun. I wanna make it last I
00:26:09Wanna feel the rain on my face. I wanna pick up a ball and get out of this place
00:26:25Oh
00:26:31Hey, what do you say?
00:26:34Why don't we lose ourselves and play all day and get lost?
00:26:40lost in a dream
00:26:42Dreaming about some but days when we were young
00:26:47I wanna take you to the
00:26:49Bodyguard, I wanna kiss your cheek. I wanna make it mine
00:26:55But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you and therefore
00:27:03No, take no thought for tomorrow for tomorrow shall take care of itself
00:27:09Can I give you a hand with that, Mrs. Carrick?
00:27:13I used to do this with the sisters. Oh
00:27:18You chalk. Chalk. Oh
00:27:21Well, how's Johnny doing do you think he's making any progress I think so he's writing longer sentences now
00:27:29Takes him a while that he can do it. Yes. Yes. I know and he's eating more too. I've noticed. Well, that is most of the time
00:27:39It's just not the man he used to be
00:27:42You should have seen him. My son was so handsome so outgoing so confident and
00:27:48Then and then this happened it has just destroyed all of his good qualities. So mrs. Carrick
00:27:54He has still got those good qualities and a whole lot more
00:28:00Got a lot worse after Judy left
00:28:02Sleep right after the attack. No
00:28:05Judy stayed she was at first she was comforting and and just as helpful as she could possibly be
00:28:11She sat there by by him at the hospital by his bedside day and I waited on him hand and foot
00:28:19No
00:28:21Then she said she couldn't take it anymore. I
00:28:25Suppose experience like Johnny's would be trying for even the most devoted wife
00:28:31Well
00:28:32She left four months after that. She left she said she had to be with a real man that
00:28:39Devastated Johnny devastated his pride
00:28:44Miss Carrick, I know this is extremely difficult for you
00:28:47But I believe that John is making progress and I think he's gonna make a whole lot more. I
00:28:53Hope you're right
00:28:55I'll be right so you think the writing is really quite a break. I do I do I I think I
00:29:03Think just John just needed to feel like he had a voice again. Oh, no, I understand that
00:29:09He is a unique person. I
00:29:13Think John being in your life in our lives has something to teach us all
00:29:22There's one thing I
00:29:24Know that John
00:29:26Johnny needs something
00:29:29To show him that he can still give it to the world
00:29:33John just needs to give
00:29:39You
00:29:53Say you're a drummer John Carrick, I used to play an instrument myself the flute
00:30:05Made me happy
00:30:09I
00:30:28Have a surprise for you something to bring you a little happiness
00:30:39You
00:31:00You were always a
00:31:02terrific drummer and
00:31:03Well, I know that that brought you a lot of joy and pride you can still experience those feelings
00:31:17John
00:31:34You
00:31:54All right
00:31:56You
00:31:59Know the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
00:32:06I'm just gonna leave those bongos there. And when you feel ready, you can play them
00:32:10Hey
00:32:26Sister Victoria, how's the accounting pretty good, especially since we sold those two beautiful estates last month. That's great
00:32:33I was thinking maybe you wanted some lemonade. I would love some. Thank you
00:32:38I was actually just looking for an excuse to take a break good
00:32:42So I gave Johnny a small set of bongo drums today
00:32:46I thought maybe it would be good for him to spend his time doing something that he's always loved
00:32:51Johnny's always been a great drummer. I remember when I was a little girl. He used to sit there and he would just play for
00:32:57Hours, he would just become absorbed in the rhythm and oblivious to everything else around him
00:33:02It'll be nice to hear him drumming again. Oh, I don't know if he will
00:33:08He wouldn't even touch them
00:33:10Why not? I don't know
00:33:16I
00:33:18Said it was too much too soon. I think he really wanted to but
00:33:23He just confidence is so low. I
00:33:26Would say his confidence is just about gone attacked it just as much emotional damage as did physical maybe more
00:33:38It was a brutal attack I
00:33:43Was must have had a lot of rage against him I did
00:33:49But why
00:33:51What would cause someone to do something so extreme to treat another human being so horribly
00:34:00Johnny killed their father. Yeah, but he was an officer of the law performing his duty
00:34:06He went and arrested Pepperdine
00:34:08for a criminal act, right
00:34:13It happened while Johnny was going to arrest him for the murders he'd committed
00:34:16Pepperdine was a hated man in these parts. His sons are too
00:34:23Hopefully, they'll catch those monsters soon
00:34:27They don't deserve to be walking this earth after what they did to my brother
00:34:32They don't deserve to be walking this earth at all
00:34:35They don't deserve to be walking this earth at all
00:34:44I'll bring justice to those boys. I hope so
00:34:54I should probably get back to the accounting. Okay. Thanks for the lemonade sister Victoria anytime
00:35:05I
00:35:09Coming in
00:35:23Do you miss dad John
00:35:25I
00:35:29Johnny come on. What do you say? I'm toss the ball around. Come on. All right, come on
00:35:39All right now look it's not just how hard you throw the ball it's also how accurate
00:35:45You
00:35:51Use your uncle Russ here as an example, okay. I'm no Joe DiMaggio
00:36:06Baseball's a game
00:36:07It's also a battle
00:36:09At the end of the day, what's it about winning? That's right
00:36:15That's what your dad is. Yeah
00:36:18Why's this
00:36:21Don't ever forget that so you're gonna be a winner
00:36:39You
00:36:45Here again, I
00:36:47Know you're not my wife. I
00:36:50Understand, you know what Judy looks like that's right

00:37:00I know you want your mind back. You want to know so desperately what sister Victoria looks like you're not beauty
00:37:08That's right, I'm not Judy

00:39:44Sit up on he stood up at the table and I darling come help me in the kitchen and sister
00:39:48Would you mind going to get Johnny he's out by the guest house
00:40:13Thousands of years ago in China
00:40:16The people there built a gigantic wall around part of their country
00:40:22the Great Wall of China
00:40:25Yeah, that's right. The Great Wall of China
00:40:30Do you know why they built it
00:40:33Simple answer is to keep people out
00:40:39To avoid war rather than fighting it
00:40:43Sometimes we have to fight though, don't we die? Yeah, sometimes we do
00:40:49In all areas of life and when you do John
00:40:53Take no prisoners
00:40:55When you go to war you bring every piece of ammunition you've got and take no prisoners
00:41:03With 108 persons aboard today and collected a hundred thousand dollars in ransom after forcing the plane to land at Monterey, Mexico
00:41:11The passengers and two stewardesses were submitted to leave the plane
00:41:15But the pilot co-pilot and flight engineer were held in hostages
00:41:18The local Branish manager drove up to the park plane in an armored car

00:41:47Agent
00:41:58Oh, come on, babe!
00:41:59Em!
00:42:00Uh-oh.
00:42:01Where are we going for dinner?
00:42:02I don't know, but I hope it's expensive.
00:42:03That's true.
00:42:04Can I help?
00:42:05I think Miles is going to win.
00:42:14That'll really impress Peggy.
00:42:15Reminds you of Peggy Sears?
00:42:16I think so, but I don't think he's readily settled down just yet.
00:42:22Do you, Mother?
00:42:24No.
00:42:25No.
00:42:26Peggy is a very nice girl, and certainly is pretty, too.
00:42:30Yeah.
00:42:31Miles is like Johnny.
00:42:32He always goes after the pretty girl.
00:42:34Is Johnny ready to settle down?
00:42:40He was.
00:42:42She wasn't.
00:42:45It's that in sickness and in health she wasn't ready for.
00:42:58You can't sell for nothing!
00:42:59What do the other cops hear about this?
00:43:04I let you win.
00:43:05You know that.
00:43:06Right.
00:43:07Remember who the county champ was in high school?
00:43:08Tough luck.
00:43:09Good job!
00:43:10Yeah!
00:43:11Come here.
00:43:12Hey, you're buying us dinner tonight.
00:43:13We match tomorrow.
00:43:14Fine by me.

00:43:47Oh.
00:43:48Oh.
00:43:49Oh.
00:43:50Oh.
00:43:51So, Sister Victoria, how do you think Johnny's doing?
00:43:56He is progressing, Mrs. Carrick.
00:43:58He's writing almost every day now.
00:44:00Really?
00:44:01Well, has he shown interest in the bongos?
00:44:06Unfortunately, no.
00:44:08I wish he would, though.
00:44:09It would do so much for his emotional well-being.
00:44:12That's what I'm concentrating on now.
00:44:15His soul.
00:44:24It's Judy.
00:44:26What the hell is she doing here?
00:44:34Mrs. Carrick.
00:44:37Good to see you.
00:44:39How are you doing?
00:44:41I'm just fine, Judy.
00:44:43Why don't you come in?
00:44:47This is Johnny's teacher, Sister Victoria.
00:44:51Nice to meet you, Judy.
00:44:53Nice to meet you.
00:44:59You're taking care of my husband now?
00:45:03I'm glad to hear it.
00:45:06Judy, why don't you sit down?
00:45:09Would you like a cup of coffee?
00:45:11I've just made a pot.
00:45:13Yes.
00:45:14Thank you, that would be great.
00:45:26So, um...
00:45:29You're a teacher.
00:45:32Uh...
00:45:33What kind of student has Johnny been?
00:45:36Actually, he's done very well.
00:45:39He's, um, learned to write with chalk on a chalkboard.
00:45:44Oh, writing with chalk.
00:45:49I don't know why I didn't think of that.
00:45:56Tell me, um...
00:45:59Has he been happy these days?
00:46:08Oh, thank you.
00:46:11You know, the house looks lovely.
00:46:14The flowers are blooming.
00:46:21So, Judy, tell me, what brings you here?
00:46:24What brings you here?
00:46:28I came to see Johnny.
00:46:33I think of him often.
00:46:37And he's in my prayers every day.
00:46:43I just wanted to see him.
00:46:45Wanted to see how he was doing.
00:46:47Hmm.
00:46:48Well, Sister Victoria and I were just talking about the progress that we think Johnny is making.
00:46:53I think seeing you might just set him back.
00:46:56Mrs. Carrick?
00:47:00I would really like to see Johnny.
00:47:04He's still my husband.
00:47:07And I do care about him.
00:47:10Well, you certainly have a funny way of showing it, girl.
00:47:14Sister Victoria.
00:47:17Would you mind telling Johnny that Judy is here?
00:47:22Sister Victoria.
00:47:24Would you mind telling Johnny that Judy is here?
00:47:43John, your wife is here and...
00:47:53Okay.
00:48:00Oh.
00:48:01Oh, yeah.
00:48:02I'm sorry, Judy. Johnny doesn't want to see you right now.
00:48:05Maybe another time.
00:48:09Oh, well, I just wanted to see him for a minute.
00:48:12Well, you just come back here another time, all right?
00:48:16It was a pleasure meeting you, Sister Victoria.
00:48:19Likewise.
00:48:21And I hope to see you again.
00:48:23Soon.
00:48:26Mrs. Carrick.
00:48:28Goodbye, Judy.
00:48:34How about getting another sheet, okay?
00:48:37How about getting another sheet, okay?
00:49:07It's hot.
00:49:28It's hot.
00:49:32So Judy was here?
00:49:37You don't want to talk about her?
00:49:42What do you want to talk about, then?
00:49:49You want to talk about me?
00:49:55What about me?
00:50:03You want to talk about my heart?
00:50:08What about my heart?
00:50:13You want to talk about my sex life?
00:50:26You want to know if I'm going to marry Peggy?
00:50:32You want to know if I'm going to marry Peggy?
00:50:38Huh?
00:50:43I don't think so.
00:50:49I don't think she's my type.
00:50:58Somehow I thought you would say that.
00:51:00Close.
00:51:06Okay, Johnny, see if you can grab the end of the comforter with your arms.
00:51:10That's it.
00:51:12That's it.
00:51:13All right, let's pull it up.
00:51:15Good.
00:51:17That's good, John.
00:51:19All right, I think there's a pillow right here.
00:51:22If you bend over, you'll see it.
00:51:24Bend over.
00:51:26Yeah, that's it.
00:51:27That's it.
00:51:28That's it.
00:51:32John, you made your first bed.
00:51:34That's a big deal.
00:51:43Here you go.
00:51:47Okay.
00:51:48Right here.
00:51:49Good.
00:51:50Good.
00:51:51Good.
00:51:52Good.
00:51:54Okay.
00:51:55Right here.
00:51:56Down.
00:51:57Down.
00:51:58Yeah.
00:52:07Won't make.
00:52:14It.
00:52:16It.
00:52:22Every day.
00:52:24Fine.
00:52:25You can make it every other day.
00:52:30Your writing looks really good.
00:52:33You know, it might be a good idea for you to open up a little about your past.
00:52:38Your good memories and your bad ones.
00:52:41They're all part of who you are.
00:52:46Okay.
00:52:48Here you go.
00:52:50Got it?
00:52:52All right.
00:53:04They took my life away.
00:53:11I know.
00:53:12I know.
00:53:14I know, but dealing with those painful emotions is going to start the healing process, John.
00:53:23God wants to heal you.
00:53:28Let Him heal you.
00:53:34I know that you survived for a purpose.
00:53:38You have a purpose to fulfill on this earth, just like each and every person does.
00:53:44You have abilities.
00:53:46Abilities that you can use right now to accomplish His purposes on the earth.
00:53:54I know that you have a lot of anger towards those boys and what they did to you.
00:54:04John, I need you to be strong.
00:54:06For you.
00:54:08I need you to focus on you and not on what those boys did to you.
00:54:16John, I want to read something to you.
00:54:27God says,
00:54:29Avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath, for it is written,
00:54:33Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.
00:54:39Remember that, John.
00:54:41God is your avenger.
00:54:45You know what?
00:54:46I'm going to give you an assignment.
00:54:49I want you to write an entire story on this board by tomorrow.
00:54:54Tomorrow morning, anything that you want.
00:54:56A story maybe about the war or your childhood.
00:55:00I want this board filled with writing.
00:55:03Tomorrow, John.
00:55:15You know there are a lot of great stories from John's work as a cop.
00:55:19What got him so quickly promoted was a botched bank robbery.
00:55:23You like the doors, huh?
00:55:25I like English pans better.
00:55:28Our police department is really small, so it's a big accomplishment for you to get promoted.
00:55:33I know. I don't want to sample it.
00:55:37You're a pig?
00:55:40That's right. I'm a pig.
00:55:44But Johnny made detective after a year.
00:55:53Do you always drink on the job?
00:55:56Do I look like I'm on the job to you?
00:55:59Well, then these handcuffs aren't really necessary, are they?
00:56:05You sure know how to treat the ladies, Johnny.
00:56:07Stopping by in the afternoon,
00:56:09wearing your shades,
00:56:10flashing your dimples.
00:56:12You know what?
00:56:13I don't care.
00:56:14I don't care.
00:56:15I don't care.
00:56:16I don't care.
00:56:17I don't care.
00:56:18I don't care.
00:56:19I don't care.
00:56:20Wearing your shades,
00:56:21flashing your chest,
00:56:23and handcuffing me in my own backyard.
00:56:26Where is he, Heather?
00:56:32I can't answer that question, Johnny.
00:56:36How's your wife?
00:56:37Does she know you're down here with me,
00:56:39all half-naked?
00:56:43I've got a little something for you, Heather.
00:56:46Go ahead.
00:56:47Go ahead.
00:56:48Open it.
00:56:58Is that mine?
00:57:00Unless you tell me where he's at.
00:57:02Otherwise,
00:57:04you can work it out with the judge.
00:57:07Good morning, John.
00:57:09You wrote your story.
00:57:12July 2nd, 1969.
00:57:17In order to execute an arrest warrant,
00:57:19I drove to the hideout of Victor Pepperdine.
00:57:22He had killed three men in cold blood
00:57:24during a bar robbery.
00:57:26All of the murdered men left behind
00:57:28were in the back of the car.
00:57:30He had a gun.
00:57:32He had a gun.
00:57:33He had a gun.
00:57:34All of the murdered men left behind families.
00:57:42When I got to Pepperdine,
00:57:44he was alone.
00:57:47Cut it!
00:57:50I didn't do it.
00:57:52Pepperdine,
00:57:53get down on those damn rocks
00:57:56and outstretch your arms
00:57:58right now.
00:58:05Garrick, come on.
00:58:07What do you think?
00:58:11What do you think?
00:58:12I'm just going to
00:58:13waltz right out of here with you?
00:58:17Big hero.
00:58:23You were a real killer overseas,
00:58:25weren't you, Garrick?
00:58:27Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!
00:58:30Those Vietnamese and Japanese!
00:58:33Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!
00:58:35Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:58:37A real-life killer.
00:58:41I'm a killer.
00:58:44Your father was a killer, too.
00:58:49We're all killers.
00:58:52Get down on the floor
00:58:55now!
00:59:01How about I kill you on my bare hands?
00:59:07I didn't have to kill the man.
00:59:09He didn't have a weapon.
00:59:11But I thought about those victims' families.
00:59:13I played judge, jury, and executioner.
00:59:17I played God.
00:59:19I deserved this.
00:59:21Oh, my God.
00:59:23John.
00:59:27Johnny.
00:59:28I have something to...
00:59:36Oh, no.
00:59:38Oh, Johnny, no.
00:59:40No, Johnny.
00:59:42No, you do not deserve this.
00:59:45You do not deserve this.
00:59:48You don't.
00:59:50You don't.
00:59:52Pepper died.
00:59:53Pepper died as a murderer.
00:59:58John.
01:00:00John.
01:00:01You have been carrying an enormous burden.
01:00:06Now give it to God.
01:00:22Okay.
01:00:24There.
01:00:45Okay.
01:00:47Okay.
01:00:52Okay.
01:00:58John.
01:00:59Here.
01:01:22Okay.
01:01:52What?
01:01:55John.
01:01:57What?
01:02:01You want to know if I think it's good?
01:02:08I think it's great.
01:02:11Maybe we can start with the real drum set soon.
01:02:23Not bad, Alex.
01:02:42I remember high school.
01:02:44Oh, God.
01:02:45Forget high school.
01:02:46It was such a bore.
01:02:48Well, we didn't even remember high school.
01:02:50Of course I remember! What is that supposed to mean?
01:02:54That is not true! I did not know that was you!
01:02:57Yes, you did!
01:02:58That was all of you!
01:02:59No, you taught me everything you know!
01:03:00Oh, that isn't true!
01:03:01I stained my wig right!
01:03:02Yeah!
01:03:09Good?
01:03:13Good.
01:03:17Oh yeah, that was right on its stake. Watch this one.
01:03:20You're watching, right girls? You're watching?
01:03:24Yes!
01:03:25That's what I'm talking about.
01:03:26Shut up.
01:03:27Hold on, I've got to talk to you for a second.
01:03:28What?
01:03:29What?
01:03:30What?
01:03:31I just want a beer.
01:03:33So madly.
01:03:35God, my neck's just crooked.
01:03:38No, you back me. You've been drinking.
01:03:40All right, well I could back you.
01:03:41You sure you don't want to back me?
01:03:42No, I'm not drunk or nothing. Come on, it's just a couple beers.
01:03:45Okay, I'll back you.
01:03:46You back me.
01:03:47You'll back me?
01:03:48Yeah.
01:03:49You know what? Better I back you. I'll back you.
01:03:52I might have drank a little too much.
01:03:54We're coming, hold on.
01:03:55All right, come on. Five bucks a man. Five bucks a man.
01:03:57Is there a game plan for horseshoes?

01:04:11Five of us.

01:04:21Oh, this sounds serious.
01:04:23Is it Miles?
01:04:26Is it Miles?

01:04:31Well, after dinner we have a surprise for you.

01:08:28Get up!
01:08:30Excuse us, sister.
01:08:31There's something my men have got to take care of.
01:08:33I'm not going anywhere.
01:08:35Come on, sister.
01:08:36Why don't you go on inside the house?
01:08:37I'm not leaving.
01:08:38If you're going to do this, you're going to do this with me here.
01:08:42You know what we got here, John, don't you?
01:08:45That's right, got your Walt and Gary Pepper dying, and their hands are tied behind their
01:08:51back, just like yours were, and their mouth's taped shut, just like yours was.
01:08:56John, justice has got to be served, and this time it's over you.
01:09:02Johnny, waste these guys.
01:09:05Stomp them to death.
01:09:06Come on, John, recover it.
01:09:09They escaped.
01:09:10We killed them.
01:09:11Take what's yours, John.
01:09:15Come on, Johnny.
01:09:16Johnny, stomp these guys, Johnny.
01:09:19We'll do it.
01:09:21Just give us a sign.
01:09:25These bastards.
01:09:26Stomp them to death.
01:09:28Come on, John.
01:09:30Come on, this is yours.
01:09:31We got it covered.
01:09:32The kids escaped.
01:09:34We had to kill them.
01:09:35Come on, take what's yours.
01:09:37Take what's yours, Johnny.
01:09:39Get these guys.
01:09:40Get away with this.
01:09:41These bastards.
01:09:47You're a couple of lucky sons of bitches.
01:09:51Get up.
01:09:53Get up.
01:10:00You're not going to take those bastards back to jail, are you?
01:10:03They'll never get the death penalty.
01:10:07Oh, yes, they will.
01:10:10Get over here.
01:10:17No.
01:10:30Oh, my God.
01:10:40Oh, my God.
01:10:56I followed the teachings of Sister Victoria and didn't take revenge.
01:11:00My mother followed the teachings of the Bible and took an eye for an eye.
01:11:04Oddly, we both listened to God.
01:11:09And what was Jesus' first miracle?
01:11:11He turned water to wine at the wedding in Cana.
01:11:14And his next one?
01:11:15He healed a sick boy that was about to die.
01:11:17Very good.
01:11:18You girls have really been studying your lessons.
01:11:21Yes, come in.
01:11:22Good morning, girls.
01:11:23Good morning, Mother Superior.
01:11:26And what are we studying today?
01:11:28The miracles of Jesus.
01:11:29Oh, is that so, Laura?
01:11:31Yes.
01:11:32Would you like to hear the miracles of the first and the second?
01:11:35Oh, no.
01:11:36I don't think that's necessary.
01:11:37Are they learning their lessons well?
01:11:39Yes, they're doing an excellent job, Mother Superior.
01:11:43This just came for you, Sister Victoria.
01:11:49So, good day, girls.
01:11:51Good day, Mother Superior.
01:12:07Girls, this is music from a dear friend.

01:17:19You take it on the chin
01:17:22Cause you've seen the hurt
01:17:26And it has to end
01:17:31On these wages of sin
01:17:38You can never give in
01:17:43To the hate that you're feeling within
01:17:48On these wages of sin
01:18:07You gotta stand and fight
01:18:10Cause that's what a man will do
01:18:14And you know it's right
