But they do vote.
:28:03
So your boss, the District Attorney,
Mr. Weiss...

:28:07
...who dreams every night
of one day becoming mayor of New York...

:28:11
...needs a white man.
:28:13
He needs to find him, book him,
and throw him in jail.

:28:16
Then everybody likes him.
:28:18
The press and voters like him.
:28:22
Even your mother would like him.
:28:24
-You following me?
-I am now.

:28:27
Now you tell your boss,
"Captain Ahab Weiss"...

:28:29
...that I know he's out there looking
for "the great white defendant."

:28:34
But Mr. Williams, over there, is not it!
:28:39
Don't take it personally.
:28:41
Maybe he didn't like your shoes.
:28:43
You Andruitti?
:28:45
I'm Martin, this is Goldberg.
We just came from Bronx Hospital.

:28:49
Kid named Henry Lamb came in last night
with a broken wrist.

:28:52
They fixed him up and sent him home.
:28:55
This morning, he comes back in
with a concussion.

:28:58
He goes into a coma
and now they say he'll die.

:29:01
Did you talk to him?
:29:03
He's in a coma.
:29:05
What else?
:29:07
There's a nurse busting my balls.
:29:09
Says the kid told his mother he was hit
by a Mercedes, which drove off.

:29:13
-Hit-and-run.
-The mother told you this?

:29:15
She's got a pile of parking tickets
and won't talk to the police.

:29:19
Why come to us?
:29:21
You've got an unconscious victim,
no witness, and no driver.

:29:25
You've got what we call a piece of shit.
Right, Kramer?

:29:28
What we've got is a problem.
:29:31
Ever hear of Reverend Bacon?
:29:33
No, not me, gentlemen.
:29:36
Kramer, this is all yours. See you later.
:29:41
Reverend Bacon?
:29:52
This is a tragedy!
:29:55
A fine young man has been struck down.
:29:59
God-fearing, church-going,
never in trouble...
