I wanted to check to see if you could make bail.

Yes, I'm putting my house up as collateral. The policeman, I'm told he's gonna be alright?

Yes.

That's good.

Well, if there is anything I can do, please just let me know.

That's very kind of you, I think you've done enough. Tell me, do they really make license plates in prison, or is that just in the movies?

Dr. Lewin...

I'm not upset, you know? I'm really not. I tried to do something. At least I tried to do something. My only regret is that I didn't kill those two creatures. You want absolution? I'm not gonna give it to you. Try a priest.

No, I understand. As a man, I would have tried to kill them too. As a judge, I can't.

[sarcastically]

Well, you don't have to worry; you didn't murder my son. So you're covered. I take it that's what you wanted to hear.

Maybe, yeah.

You did murder someone else's son; you're gonna have to deal with that pretty soon.

What are you talking about?

Didn't you hear? You should be in prison. They have a wonderful communication system in this place, it's better than the 6 o'clock news. Another little boy was tortured and murdered last night, just like Danny. There's another father that's gonna have those sounds in his ears for the rest of his life. And you're gonna have to face it, and explain to him how you let those two go, so they could murder his children. This one's on you, your Honor. This one you did. That boy would be alive if you hadn't let them go. You go tell that father about your system, you give him the... the lecture on your precious justice, save all the platitudes that you were gonna use on me, you use them on him. Better than that, use them on yourself. But don't worry about me, I am really alright. I can look at that man. I tried to do something. You killed his son.
