Sit down.
20
00:02:09,738 --> 00:02:12,610
- Moe Kitchener.
- What about him?
21
00:02:12,697 --> 00:02:15,004
He got shot last night outside
a bar over in Roxborough.
22
00:02:17,746 --> 00:02:19,269
- You're serious?
- Large caliber slug.
23
00:02:19,356 --> 00:02:21,010
Back of the head.
24
00:02:22,403 --> 00:02:25,275
So...he's dead?
25
00:02:25,362 --> 00:02:27,147
Where were you last night, Lil?
26
00:02:27,234 --> 00:02:29,975
Home. I was, uh,
finishing up a report.
27
00:02:30,062 --> 00:02:33,501
You're going to need
someone to confirm that.
28
00:02:33,588 --> 00:02:36,373
Who-who's the
investigating detective?
29
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:39,115
Doherty wants the state
police to handle it.
30
00:02:43,119 --> 00:02:45,295
They're gonna want
to talk to you.
31
00:02:59,918 --> 00:03:03,052
- You alright?
- I don't know.
32
00:03:03,139 --> 00:03:04,662
Listen, I told the boss
33
00:03:04,749 --> 00:03:06,273
if anyone wants to know,
you were home when
34
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,361
I dropped off that
file last night.
35
00:03:07,448 --> 00:03:08,623
- The file?
- Yeah.
36
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:11,626
Rodriguez file, '06.
37
00:03:11,713 --> 00:03:13,889
'No way you could've been across
town when Moe caught one'
38
00:03:13,976 --> 00:03:15,717
outside that bar.
39
00:03:15,804 --> 00:03:18,676
Yeah.
40
00:03:18,763 --> 00:03:21,244
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
41
00:03:21,331 --> 00:03:24,160
Listen, I got a lady
waiting on a case.
42
00:03:24,247 --> 00:03:25,509
I'll handle it.
43
00:03:25,596 --> 00:03:27,163
I want to..
44
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:28,991
...keep working.
45
00:03:34,562 --> 00:03:36,912
Detectives Valens. Rush.
46
00:03:36,999 --> 00:03:39,915
You got something on an old
homicide, Miss Deluca?
47
00:03:40,002 --> 00:03:41,395
Mia Romanov.
48
00:03:41,482 --> 00:03:43,310
An aerialist for
the Jones brothers circus.
49
00:03:43,397 --> 00:03:44,615
The circus?
50
00:03:44,702 --> 00:03:46,574
Her death was ruled
an accidental fall
51
00:03:46,661 --> 00:03:48,489
in 1971.
52
00:03:48,576 --> 00:03:50,621
- You're saying it wasn't?
- Mia did a silk act.
53
00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:53,581
Where she came out of a cocoon
high above the rafters.
54
00:03:53,668 --> 00:03:56,279
I knew something was wrong
the moment she came out.
55
00:03:58,890 --> 00:04:02,024
- This a bad time?
- What?
56
00:04:02,111 --> 00:04:05,027
No. Uh, you were there
the night of her fall?
57
00:04:05,114 --> 00:04:07,508
My mother worked
at Jones brothers circus.
58
00:04:07,595 --> 00:04:09,597
She was a fortune-teller.
59
00:04:09,684 --> 00:04:10,989
I'm a psychic.
60
00:04:11,076 --> 00:04:13,165
Always felt Mia's "accident"
was anything but..
61
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:14,602
'Then just tell us'
62
00:04:14,689 --> 00:04:15,907
who you "feel" killed her
63
00:04:15,994 --> 00:04:17,648
and we'll clear this
up by lunchtime.
64
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:20,216
Doesn't work that way.
65
00:04:20,303 --> 00:04:22,784
Yeah, it never does.
66
00:04:22,871 --> 00:04:24,742
Always wondered how
Mia could've fallen.
67
00:04:24,829 --> 00:04:26,788
And then I found these
at an exhibit
68
00:04:26,875 --> 00:04:28,093
"Death under the big top."
69
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:29,356
Photographs of various
70
00:04:29,443 --> 00:04:31,662
tragic falls,
including Mia's.
71
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:34,578
You can see how the other
performers braced for impact.
72
00:04:34,665 --> 00:04:36,319
- Mia didn't.
- Fell head first.
73
00:04:36,406 --> 00:04:38,452
Arms limp, hands at her side.
74
00:04:38,539 --> 00:04:39,714
Might've been unconscious.
75
00:04:39,801 --> 00:04:41,368
Or already dead.
76
00:04:41,455 --> 00:04:44,022
You think that her fall
was some kind of cover-up?
77
00:04:44,109 --> 00:04:45,850
Mia grew up in the circus.
78
00:04:45,937 --> 00:04:47,374
Had the agility
of a cat.
79
00:04:47,461 --> 00:04:49,680
Something wasn't
right. I felt it.
80
00:04:49,767 --> 00:04:51,726
Yeah, we got that.
81
00:04:51,813 --> 00:04:54,859
We'll be in touch, Isabel.
82
00:04:54,946 --> 00:04:56,078
Your mother..
83
00:04:56,165 --> 00:04:57,993
...will be fine.
84
00:04:59,951 --> 00:05:02,911
You, I'm not so sure.
85
00:05:41,210 --> 00:05:42,516
'Mia Romanov, 18.'
86
00:05:42,603 --> 00:05:44,692
Died in St. Mary's
fairgrounds in '71.
87
00:05:44,779 --> 00:05:45,997
Ruled accidental.
88
00:05:46,084 --> 00:05:47,477
More like inevitable.
89
00:05:47,564 --> 00:05:49,218
Flying through the air
on nothing but silk?
90
00:05:49,305 --> 00:05:50,915
Not much here by the way
of statements.
91
00:05:51,002 --> 00:05:53,091
Well, getting circus folk
to talk isn't easy.
92
00:05:53,178 --> 00:05:55,093
Finally got warrants, you're
looking at an empty lot.
93
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:57,574
Assigned spoke to
a few audience members.
94
00:05:57,661 --> 00:05:59,663
Said Mia looked fine
giving her pre-act bow.
95
00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:01,186
So whatever happened to her,
happened backstage.
96
00:06:01,273 --> 00:06:03,798
It's got the stink
of sabotage all over it.
97
00:06:03,885 --> 00:06:05,887
A/v blew up the picture
of Mia's fall.
98
00:06:05,974 --> 00:06:08,498
ME said the shadow around her
nose and mouth could be blood.
99
00:06:08,585 --> 00:06:10,500
- Before impact.
- 'Autopsy report.'
100
00:06:10,587 --> 00:06:12,067
Broken neck,
shattered skull
101
00:06:12,154 --> 00:06:13,677
thought to have been
caused by the fall
102
00:06:13,764 --> 00:06:16,071
but hands and wrists only
suffered minor damage.
103
00:06:16,158 --> 00:06:17,507
She didn't brace for impact.
104
00:06:17,594 --> 00:06:19,291
Survival instinct
never kicked in.
105
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:21,119
'Run all the performers
for priors'
106
00:06:21,206 --> 00:06:23,513
anything else we can
dig up on this big top.
107
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,994
"Mia was legally adopted
by Sheldon Burgess
108
00:06:26,081 --> 00:06:27,343
AKA Cleo the clown."
109
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:28,736
Never gave a statement.
110
00:06:28,823 --> 00:06:30,477
Got an address
over in point breeze.
111
00:06:30,564 --> 00:06:32,479
Well, go talk
to this clown.
112
00:06:42,489 --> 00:06:43,968
- Mr. Burgess?
- Hey, hey!
113
00:06:44,055 --> 00:06:45,579
Hey, hey! Hey, welcome
to Cleo's fun house.
114
00:06:45,666 --> 00:06:47,537
What can I do for you?
115
00:06:47,624 --> 00:06:51,759
Homicide. We're looking
into the death of Mia Romanov.
116
00:06:51,846 --> 00:06:53,413
Mia?
117
00:06:54,675 --> 00:06:55,893
All these years later?
118
00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:58,200
What can you tell us
about her fall?
119
00:06:58,287 --> 00:07:00,202
She was trying a new stunt.
120
00:07:02,378 --> 00:07:04,293
It's the worst night of my life.
121
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:07,905
How come you didn't give a
statement, Mr. Burgess?
122
00:07:07,992 --> 00:07:09,690
I climbed deep into
a bottle that night.
123
00:07:09,777 --> 00:07:11,474
Stayed there for
a long time after.
124
00:07:11,561 --> 00:07:13,737
It never crossed your mind that
maybe it wasn't an accident?
125
00:07:13,824 --> 00:07:16,479
No. Silks weren't cut or frayed.
126
00:07:16,566 --> 00:07:18,394
Thought the moment
got the best of her.
127
00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:20,788
So who was in charge
of sending up her cocoon?
128
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:22,572
Uh, Gaucho, day
players, in and out.
129
00:07:22,659 --> 00:07:25,619
But Mia did her own rigging.
130
00:07:25,706 --> 00:07:27,838
She was stubborn,
like her father.
131
00:07:27,925 --> 00:07:29,492
Her father?
132
00:07:31,625 --> 00:07:33,670
The Romanovs have been
kicking the sawdust
133
00:07:33,757 --> 00:07:35,890
for five generations.
134
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,589
They were royalty
amongst us kinkers.
135
00:07:39,676 --> 00:07:41,896
And Mia was like her folks
136
00:07:41,983 --> 00:07:44,986
more comfortable in the air
than on terra firma.
137
00:07:45,073 --> 00:07:48,250
How does a clown in a traveling
circus adopt a little girl?
138
00:07:48,337 --> 00:07:50,078
I was her godfather.
139
00:07:50,165 --> 00:07:53,647
Her parents willed her to me,
but the circus raised her.
140
00:07:53,734 --> 00:07:56,388
Jones brothers was a one-ring
mud show, but we were family.
141
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,303
Anyone backstage with her?
142
00:07:58,390 --> 00:08:02,394
No. The act before hers, Zelda
"The queen of knives" Panay.
143
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:04,396
Zelda and Mia
get on alright?
144
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:07,008
Oh, sure. Long as Zelda
was the headliner.
145
00:08:08,966 --> 00:08:11,055
What the hell was that
tonight? Williamsport?
146
00:08:11,142 --> 00:08:12,883
Used to pack 'em
to the stingers.
147
00:08:12,970 --> 00:08:14,929
Now, we're lucky to be making
horse feed out there.
148
00:08:15,016 --> 00:08:16,234
You still getting paid, Cleo?
149
00:08:16,321 --> 00:08:18,236
This dog and pony show
is dying, Biggie.
150
00:08:18,323 --> 00:08:20,238
We need an aerial act.
151
00:08:20,325 --> 00:08:22,893
Can't afford one, so' unless you
got one in that wig of yours
152
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:24,678
no way a knife-thrower
can carry the big top.
153
00:08:24,765 --> 00:08:26,201
- Excuse me?
- No offense, Zelda.
154
00:08:26,288 --> 00:08:27,594
- I've been--
- Stop it.
155
00:08:27,681 --> 00:08:31,380
Everybody, please, just..
156
00:08:31,467 --> 00:08:33,904
I ca-I can give us
an aerial act.
157
00:08:33,991 --> 00:08:35,471
Mia, I didn't
mean you should--
158
00:08:35,558 --> 00:08:38,692
I can fly. It's
in my blood.
159
00:08:38,779 --> 00:08:39,954
She's a baby.
160
00:08:40,041 --> 00:08:41,390
Well, what do we
got to lose?
161
00:08:41,477 --> 00:08:44,001
Even a baby can
see we're dying.
162
00:08:46,656 --> 00:08:48,005
I'll talk to management.
163
00:08:48,092 --> 00:08:51,052
Start putting it together, kid.
164
00:08:51,139 --> 00:08:52,357
I don't know, Mia.
165
00:08:52,444 --> 00:08:54,229
It's going to be fine, Cleo.
166
00:08:56,057 --> 00:08:57,319
Oops.
167
00:09:00,888 --> 00:09:02,803
Accidents happen.
168
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:09,374
Zelda p-a-n-a-y...
169
00:09:09,461 --> 00:09:10,941
...was the headliner
prior to Mia?
170
00:09:11,028 --> 00:09:12,987
Yeah, ever since
the last aerial act walked.
171
00:09:13,074 --> 00:09:15,598
I didn't want Mia up there.
172
00:09:15,685 --> 00:09:17,687
Hate to think
I put a target on her.
173
00:09:17,774 --> 00:09:21,822
Sounds like Zelda wasn't ready
to put her knives away.
174
00:09:24,476 --> 00:09:25,826
Thanks for coming in.
175
00:09:25,913 --> 00:09:27,654
Well, if I'd known
you were so handsome
176
00:09:27,741 --> 00:09:31,353
'I would've sprinted all
the way from Atlantic city.'
177
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,398
I don't mean to be
rude, but, uh..
178
00:09:33,485 --> 00:09:37,098
can we get going on this
because, I got a show,00.
179
00:09:37,185 --> 00:09:38,882
- Still performing?
- Yeah.
180
00:09:38,969 --> 00:09:41,842
Well, it's mostly blue
plate dinners for seniors.
181
00:09:41,929 --> 00:09:44,932
But they remember me
from the Ed Sullivan show.
182
00:09:45,019 --> 00:09:47,587
How did you and
Mia Romanov get along?
183
00:09:47,674 --> 00:09:49,632
Mia Romanov?
184
00:09:51,242 --> 00:09:52,722
Fine.
185
00:09:52,809 --> 00:09:54,071
I took her under my wing.
186
00:09:54,158 --> 00:09:56,030
She was like my sister.
187
00:09:56,117 --> 00:09:58,467
You always throw
daggers at family?
188
00:09:58,554 --> 00:10:00,730
Darling..
189
00:10:00,817 --> 00:10:03,646
...even a lady loses
her cool sometimes
190
00:10:03,733 --> 00:10:05,343
which accounts for three
191
00:10:05,430 --> 00:10:07,302
out of my four divorces.
192
00:10:07,389 --> 00:10:09,609
Foolish. Jealous.
193
00:10:09,696 --> 00:10:11,219
Jealous enough
to get rid of her?
194
00:10:11,306 --> 00:10:13,308
What do you mean?
195
00:10:13,395 --> 00:10:17,138
She fell.
I was there.
196
00:10:17,225 --> 00:10:19,227
'You were there backstage
before her act.'
197
00:10:19,314 --> 00:10:21,229
Your sister ends up dead
198
00:10:21,316 --> 00:10:23,057
and you get to keep
your spotlight.
199
00:10:23,144 --> 00:10:25,450
Now, I got my pride.
200
00:10:25,537 --> 00:10:27,452
But I'm not stupid.
201
00:10:27,539 --> 00:10:29,367
We needed Mia's
act to work.
202
00:10:29,454 --> 00:10:32,632
It was all over,
for all of us.
203
00:10:33,894 --> 00:10:38,159
♪ At first flash of Eden ♪
204
00:10:38,246 --> 00:10:39,987
♪ We race down.. ♪
205
00:10:40,074 --> 00:10:42,032
- Where's the Trapeze bar?
- Forget the Trapeze.
206
00:10:42,119 --> 00:10:43,947
Biggie, we need something new.
207
00:10:44,034 --> 00:10:45,253
We need dramatic.
208
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:46,994
You'll never be ready
in a week trying
209
00:10:47,081 --> 00:10:49,518
to get a new act together. Just
do what your folks taught you.
210
00:10:49,605 --> 00:10:51,955
I need a theme.
To tell a story.
211
00:10:52,042 --> 00:10:54,958
- I need some time.
- You're not a clown anymore.
212
00:10:55,045 --> 00:10:57,091
It's not about stories.
It's about wowing them.
213
00:10:57,178 --> 00:10:59,615
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to
do, There's something groovy
214
00:10:59,702 --> 00:11:00,964
with the silks,
the freedom it gives me--
215
00:11:01,051 --> 00:11:02,270
People don't want groovy.
216
00:11:02,357 --> 00:11:03,837
They want tradition.
217
00:11:03,924 --> 00:11:05,752
For their kids to see
and feel what they did.
218
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:07,841
Maybe we can start a new one.
219
00:11:07,928 --> 00:11:09,712
You know, we can capture
their imagination.
220
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:13,107
Great. Then imagine there's no
circus when we get shut down
221
00:11:13,194 --> 00:11:14,761
waiting for you
to get your act together.
222
00:11:14,848 --> 00:11:15,979
Now this is all on me?
223
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:17,241
You asked
for a shot, kid
224
00:11:17,328 --> 00:11:18,678
and I gave it to you.
225
00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:20,897
Convinced management
to roll the dice.
226
00:11:20,984 --> 00:11:22,594
- Don't hang me out to dry.
- No, I'll do the silk act.
227
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,684
I'll use a mechanic
if I have to.
228
00:11:24,771 --> 00:11:26,163
The advance men have
been pumping your act
229
00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:27,469
as death-defying.
230
00:11:27,556 --> 00:11:28,731
- But I--
- But nothing!
231
00:11:29,906 --> 00:11:32,387
I took a flyer on you.
232
00:11:32,474 --> 00:11:35,129
You'd better not
make a fool of me.
233
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:45,139
Mia was way ahead of the curve.
234
00:11:45,226 --> 00:11:48,708
She was cirque du soleil
before they were.
235
00:11:48,795 --> 00:11:51,362
Now everybody's got a silk act.
236
00:11:51,449 --> 00:11:52,842
What about David
and Goliath?
237
00:11:52,929 --> 00:11:55,366
Ringmaster Biggie Jones
and his goon
238
00:11:55,453 --> 00:11:57,760
Lester Gargantuan Smith.
239
00:11:59,109 --> 00:12:00,807
Biggie pushed us hard.
240
00:12:00,894 --> 00:12:02,765
Maybe pushed Mia too hard.
241
00:12:04,506 --> 00:12:07,074
That's probably why he
pulled up stakes so fast
242
00:12:07,161 --> 00:12:09,337
and left town that night.
243
00:12:09,424 --> 00:12:12,209
You see Biggie backstage
with Mia before her fall?
244
00:12:12,296 --> 00:12:16,170
Biggie always checked
on the featured acts
245
00:12:16,257 --> 00:12:17,737
before they went on.
246
00:12:20,174 --> 00:12:22,132
'Have information
that you called in'
247
00:12:22,219 --> 00:12:23,830
'the 10-37 last week.'
248
00:12:23,917 --> 00:12:27,964
- 'DUI check on Mr. Kitchener?'
- That's right.
249
00:12:28,051 --> 00:12:29,879
Outside the same bar
that he was murdered?
250
00:12:29,966 --> 00:12:31,141
The suspect was inebriated.
251
00:12:31,228 --> 00:12:32,882
Suspect was awaiting trial.
252
00:12:32,969 --> 00:12:34,144
And what were you doing
253
00:12:34,231 --> 00:12:35,450
observing him in
the first place?
254
00:12:35,537 --> 00:12:37,234
It was a continuing
investigation.
255
00:12:37,321 --> 00:12:39,454
He had already filed
a complaint against you.
256
00:12:39,541 --> 00:12:42,587
Which was completely
bogus, same as this.
257
00:12:42,674 --> 00:12:45,460
Were you outside that bar
last night, detective?
258
00:12:47,331 --> 00:12:49,333
No.
259
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:52,641
'You testified Moe Kitchener
tried to kill you.'
260
00:12:52,728 --> 00:12:54,469
'And you believe that?'
261
00:12:54,556 --> 00:12:56,601
And so does the commonwealth.
262
00:12:56,688 --> 00:12:58,386
Maybe you should
talk to the DA.
263
00:12:58,473 --> 00:13:01,432
Said you were home last night
between the hours of 9:25
264
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:02,694
and 10:10?
265
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,261
That's right.
266
00:13:04,348 --> 00:13:06,786
Anyone who can
confirm that?
267
00:13:08,483 --> 00:13:10,267
My partner, Scotty Valens.
268
00:13:10,354 --> 00:13:12,530
He came by, dropped
off some paperwork
269
00:13:12,617 --> 00:13:14,054
on a case I was reviewing.
270
00:13:14,141 --> 00:13:15,882
What case?
271
00:13:16,665 --> 00:13:18,275
Cesar Rodriguez.
272
00:13:18,362 --> 00:13:20,364
The file's on my desk.
273
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,329
Bunch of gink squad BS.
274
00:13:29,983 --> 00:13:32,115
I need you to surrender
your service weapon.
275
00:13:32,202 --> 00:13:34,944
What?
276
00:13:35,031 --> 00:13:37,773
Until this thing blows over,
you're on restricted duty.
277
00:13:47,435 --> 00:13:49,916
Mia Romanov.
278
00:13:50,003 --> 00:13:51,656
A real tragedy, that one.
279
00:13:51,743 --> 00:13:54,572
Understand you checked on your
acts before they hit the stage.
280
00:13:54,659 --> 00:13:56,096
So how'd she look
before going out?
281
00:13:56,183 --> 00:13:58,185
Ready to fly. Girl
was good to go.
282
00:13:58,272 --> 00:14:01,275
You're saying she looked good,
Biggie, ready to fly?
283
00:14:01,362 --> 00:14:04,626
You whizzing on the wrong
hydrant there, Kemosabe.
284
00:14:04,713 --> 00:14:06,933
I needed that girl.
285
00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:11,938
Without her act I lost my main
moneymaker, lost the midway.
286
00:14:12,025 --> 00:14:13,940
Lost that.
287
00:14:14,027 --> 00:14:15,202
Lost the circus.
288
00:14:15,289 --> 00:14:17,073
Then why the cover-up?
289
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,162
You pulled up stakes
before sunup, hit the road.
290
00:14:19,249 --> 00:14:21,251
Now, hold your horses.
291
00:14:21,338 --> 00:14:23,775
We had a long haul the
next day to Allentown.
292
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:25,081
The show must go on, huh?
293
00:14:25,168 --> 00:14:28,128
Well, we was feeding
a lot of people.
294
00:14:28,215 --> 00:14:30,565
My family survived
the ten-in-one
295
00:14:30,652 --> 00:14:32,393
to turn around
and own this circus.
296
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,395
Ten-in-ones?
297
00:14:34,482 --> 00:14:36,658
Ten freaks in one tent.
298
00:14:36,745 --> 00:14:39,400
It was humiliating.
299
00:14:39,487 --> 00:14:43,056
For three generations we fought
off larger predatory circuses.
300
00:14:43,143 --> 00:14:44,709
Ringling.
301
00:14:44,796 --> 00:14:46,015
'And you banked
everything on Mia'
302
00:14:46,102 --> 00:14:47,364
but she crossed you up.
303
00:14:47,451 --> 00:14:48,800
We were family.
304
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:50,237
Wouldn't sell.
305
00:14:50,324 --> 00:14:53,501
Loyal. We circled
the tents around Mia.
306
00:14:53,588 --> 00:14:56,112
But Mia stepped out of line,
made her own act, didn't she?
307
00:14:56,199 --> 00:14:57,374
She make a fool
out of you, Biggie?
308
00:14:57,461 --> 00:14:59,289
Wrong.
309
00:14:59,376 --> 00:15:01,596
I was on board with her act.
310
00:15:01,683 --> 00:15:04,512
Hell, I had to be,
times was desperate.
311
00:15:04,599 --> 00:15:07,907

Peace offering.
315
00:15:15,479 --> 00:15:16,916
Thought about what you said.
316
00:15:17,003 --> 00:15:18,308
Wanting a story
for your act.
317
00:15:18,395 --> 00:15:20,136
How about this?
318
00:15:20,223 --> 00:15:23,313
Silk worm goes up
into her cocoon
319
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,576
to emerge as the
human butterfly.
320
00:15:27,665 --> 00:15:30,103

We're all behind you here.
You're the best we got.
325
00:15:43,768 --> 00:15:44,944
I'll be ready

00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:08,706

And who was management?
336
00:16:10,143 --> 00:16:13,494
J.B. Ricketts investment.
337
00:16:13,581 --> 00:16:16,453
Bunch of suits out of Florida.
338
00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:18,281
Helped us through
the lean years.
339
00:16:18,368 --> 00:16:19,543
Got a number?

00:16:19,630 --> 00:16:21,371
No, ma'am.

- He have a thing for Mia?
343

Gargantuan? I don't think
he was wired that way.
344
00:16:30,685 --> 00:16:34,994
His feelings were
simple, childlike.
345
00:16:35,081 --> 00:16:37,083
With big boy plumbing,
that's reassuring.
346
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:39,694
- Some kind of condition?
- Cerebral gigantism.
347
00:16:41,043 --> 00:16:43,567
Made him huge.
348
00:16:43,654 --> 00:16:46,309
Also made him about as
sharp as a bowling ball.
349
00:16:46,396 --> 00:16:48,224
So what beanstalk
is he up right now?
350
00:16:48,311 --> 00:16:50,052
I haven't seen him in years.
351
00:16:50,139 --> 00:16:53,273
He's probably dead.
Giants don't last too long.
352
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,753
Heart can't take it.
353
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,801
Excuse me, um, I'd like
to talk to a Detective Rush.
354
00:17:00,671 --> 00:17:01,977
'Thank you.'
355
00:17:06,808 --> 00:17:09,941
Mr. Butler.
356
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:13,032
- What can I do for you?
- I want to make a statement.
357
00:17:16,992 --> 00:17:18,820
Would you like a lawyer
present, Mr. Butler?
358
00:17:18,907 --> 00:17:20,126
I would not.
359
00:17:20,213 --> 00:17:22,824
I recommend you get one, Hank.
360
00:17:22,911 --> 00:17:24,173
With all you've been through.
361
00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:29,483
My wife doesn't eat anymore.
362
00:17:30,788 --> 00:17:33,530
She doesn't sleep.
363
00:17:33,617 --> 00:17:35,141
She just cries.
364
00:17:37,882 --> 00:17:40,059
Do you want to tell us
what happened, Hank?
365
00:17:46,717 --> 00:17:49,677
When I saw him
at the courthouse, I knew.
366
00:17:51,461 --> 00:17:52,767
Moe Kitchener?
367
00:17:52,854 --> 00:17:54,986
'Ten, 20 years,
didn't matter.'
368
00:17:56,336 --> 00:17:58,512
It wouldn't go away.
369
00:17:58,599 --> 00:17:59,904
'I couldn't go on'
370
00:17:59,991 --> 00:18:02,081
thinking that-that
smug son of a bitch
371
00:18:02,168 --> 00:18:03,691
was walking the earth.
372
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:10,567
Someone had to put
that dog down.
373
00:18:26,496 --> 00:18:28,977
Hank.
374
00:18:29,064 --> 00:18:30,370
Listen, Hank, I didn't
kill your daughter.
375
00:18:30,457 --> 00:18:33,938
Shut up. You buried
her in a box.
376
00:18:34,025 --> 00:18:35,636
You let me twist forever.
377
00:18:37,768 --> 00:18:39,727
Sorry, Hank.
It wasn't personal.
378
00:18:43,731 --> 00:18:45,167
I'm sorry, too.
379
00:18:50,999 --> 00:18:52,566
I went home.
380
00:18:59,790 --> 00:19:01,227
I thought I'd feel better.
381
00:19:03,620 --> 00:19:05,361
Katie's gone.
382
00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:13,413
Nothing's ever going
to change that.
383
00:19:28,863 --> 00:19:32,606
What do you want?
What do you want?
384
00:19:32,693 --> 00:19:34,260
Leave me alone.
You hear me?
385
00:19:34,347 --> 00:19:36,697
I seen you standing here.
386
00:19:36,784 --> 00:19:40,004
I'm a cop.
387
00:19:46,141 --> 00:19:47,664
'I'm sorry.'
388
00:19:47,751 --> 00:19:49,579
Police. I didn't know!
389
00:19:49,666 --> 00:19:50,885
I didn't know!
390
00:19:50,972 --> 00:19:52,930
I-I didn't know.
391
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:05,160
People paint on my wall..
392
00:20:05,247 --> 00:20:08,032
...break my windows.
393
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,599
I thought you was one of 'em.
394
00:20:09,686 --> 00:20:11,471
Gonna hurt me.
395
00:20:11,558 --> 00:20:14,474
You thought I was gonna
hurt you, Gargantuan?
396
00:20:14,561 --> 00:20:15,823
'Lot of performers
at Jones brothers'
397
00:20:15,910 --> 00:20:17,303
had priors, Lester.
398
00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:19,087
You're the only one
with a history of violence.
399
00:20:19,174 --> 00:20:21,045
'In and out of
institutions as a kid.'
400
00:20:21,132 --> 00:20:25,615
Beat a grown man within an inch
of his life at the age of 13.
401
00:20:25,702 --> 00:20:28,270
He attacked me..
402
00:20:28,357 --> 00:20:30,751
...'cause I was big.
403
00:20:30,838 --> 00:20:32,318
What about Mia Romanov?
404
00:20:35,756 --> 00:20:38,019
Yeah, you...
remember her, right?
405
00:20:38,106 --> 00:20:41,718
Yes. Mia.
406
00:20:41,805 --> 00:20:43,154
You liked her?
407
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:44,939
Pretty. Soft.
408
00:20:45,026 --> 00:20:47,115
'She smelled nice.'
409
00:20:47,202 --> 00:20:49,509
She just wasn't into the whole
beauty and the beast thing.
410
00:20:49,596 --> 00:20:51,685
'So you squeezed
her too hard'
411
00:20:51,772 --> 00:20:52,990
like you did me?
412
00:20:53,077 --> 00:20:54,601
No!
413
00:20:54,688 --> 00:20:56,907
Mia was special.
414
00:20:56,994 --> 00:20:59,954
- "Special"?
- Friend.
415
00:21:00,041 --> 00:21:02,348
She was my friend.
416
00:21:02,435 --> 00:21:04,698
I could never hurt her.
417
00:21:04,785 --> 00:21:07,483
Well, someone did hurt
your friend, Lester.
418
00:21:07,570 --> 00:21:09,050
'Someone backstage.'
419
00:21:09,137 --> 00:21:11,748
And then they dropped
her from the ceiling.
420
00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:20,496
There was this Gaucho.
421
00:21:22,324 --> 00:21:24,979
♪ Wild child ♪
422
00:21:25,066 --> 00:21:27,938
♪ Full of grace ♪
423
00:21:28,025 --> 00:21:30,593
♪ Savior of the human.. ♪
424
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,335
- Hey. Eddie, right?
- That's right, darlin'.
425
00:21:33,422 --> 00:21:35,381
I haven't checked my rig yet.
426
00:21:35,468 --> 00:21:37,078
It's looking fine to me.
427
00:21:37,165 --> 00:21:39,341
Get rid of that carabiner
and mount it on a swivel.
428
00:21:39,428 --> 00:21:41,300
Carabiner's twice as
strong as a swivel.
429
00:21:41,387 --> 00:21:43,389
What do I look like,
some first of may?
430
00:21:43,476 --> 00:21:45,826
That swivel's going to let me
get out over the audience.
431
00:21:45,913 --> 00:21:47,175
Now, lose the carabiner.
432
00:21:49,090 --> 00:21:51,048
Looks like you're calling the
shots around here, huh, kid?
433
00:21:51,135 --> 00:21:52,702
How long you
been doing this, Eddie?
434
00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:54,617
Ten years experience, rigged
every big rock and roll
435
00:21:54,704 --> 00:21:56,227
show from Vancouver to Miami.
436
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,186
Then you should know a performer
needs to check their rig
437
00:21:58,273 --> 00:21:59,666
before it's flown.
438
00:22:01,494 --> 00:22:02,886
How old are you, sweet cheeks?
439
00:22:02,973 --> 00:22:05,324
Old enough. Are you
hopped up, Eddie?
440
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:09,763
I'm the one 50 feet in the air.
441
00:22:09,850 --> 00:22:11,460
If you're gonna be on that
junk, you can stay
442
00:22:11,547 --> 00:22:13,157
away from me and my rig.
443
00:22:14,376 --> 00:22:16,596
I want you out
of my tent. Now!
444
00:22:16,683 --> 00:22:19,468
Get out. Or I'll have
you dragged out.
445
00:22:19,555 --> 00:22:21,209
Alright, look.
Easy, big fella, easy.
446
00:22:21,296 --> 00:22:23,559
Alright, I dig it.
447
00:22:23,646 --> 00:22:25,431
If that's what the
little lady wants.
448
00:22:28,651 --> 00:22:29,826
Ouch!
449
00:22:29,913 --> 00:22:32,307
Now that would hurt.
450
00:22:38,095 --> 00:22:40,663
Eddie wasn't one of us.
451
00:22:40,750 --> 00:22:43,144
Not circus folk.
452
00:22:45,842 --> 00:22:48,279
He poisoned her.
453
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:50,760
You mean with drugs?
454
00:22:50,847 --> 00:22:53,067
Was he selling to the crew?
455
00:22:53,154 --> 00:22:56,636
This rigger, he responsible for
putting Mia's cocoon in the air?
456
00:22:56,723 --> 00:22:59,856
Till she kicked him
out of the big top.
457
00:23:03,730 --> 00:23:07,603
They made him shovel
after the elephants.
458
00:23:08,865 --> 00:23:10,606
Eddie left..
459
00:23:10,693 --> 00:23:14,567
...after Mia..
460
00:23:14,654 --> 00:23:16,612
...fell.
461
00:23:26,970 --> 00:23:28,407
I went to Jones.
462
00:23:28,494 --> 00:23:29,843
The bartender said
you took Nick home.
463
00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:32,715
Yeah. He was plastered
by the time I got there.
464
00:23:32,802 --> 00:23:34,891
- Something's up.
- Lot of that going around.
465
00:23:34,978 --> 00:23:37,677
- Hmm.
- Still thirsty?
466
00:23:39,809 --> 00:23:42,246
I heard about your
dance with Gargantuan.
467
00:23:44,205 --> 00:23:46,512
Had him right where
I wanted him.
468
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:47,774
Yeah.
469
00:23:47,861 --> 00:23:49,297
You ring him up
for assault?
470
00:23:49,384 --> 00:23:52,474
Guy belongs in the puzzle
house, not county.
471
00:23:52,561 --> 00:23:54,520
'Punks were
harassing him.'
472
00:23:54,607 --> 00:23:56,826
Tagged freak on his building.
473
00:23:56,913 --> 00:23:58,088
Cruel world.
474
00:23:58,175 --> 00:24:00,047
'I filed three separate
police reports.'
475
00:24:00,134 --> 00:24:03,267
He was just protecting himself.
476
00:24:07,228 --> 00:24:08,403
I'm sorry I wasn't there.
477
00:24:08,490 --> 00:24:11,667
Almost...lit him up, Lil.
478
00:24:12,973 --> 00:24:14,148
Wanted to.
479
00:24:14,235 --> 00:24:18,152
Thanks for...having my back.
480
00:24:18,239 --> 00:24:20,676
With Moe. The alibi.
481
00:24:20,763 --> 00:24:23,287
Partners, right?
482
00:24:23,374 --> 00:24:25,246
Yeah.
483
00:24:30,251 --> 00:24:31,905
I still can't believe it.
484
00:24:31,992 --> 00:24:34,298
- What Hank did.
- Just beat you to it.
485
00:24:34,385 --> 00:24:36,344
So what does that make me?
486
00:24:37,998 --> 00:24:39,565
Human.
487
00:24:39,652 --> 00:24:42,829
- Protect and serve, right?
- 'The innocent.'
488
00:24:42,916 --> 00:24:44,221
Lil.
489
00:24:45,701 --> 00:24:48,269
Need more Hanks out there.
490
00:24:48,356 --> 00:24:50,924
The guy deserves a medal.
491
00:24:51,011 --> 00:24:52,534
You believe that?
492
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:55,624
Yeah.
493
00:24:57,017 --> 00:24:58,366
Yeah, I believe that.
494
00:25:00,150 --> 00:25:03,327
Just be glad
someone else did it.
495
00:25:03,414 --> 00:25:05,242
That he's gone.
496
00:25:08,463 --> 00:25:11,901
That fortune-teller said
something about your mom.
497
00:25:11,988 --> 00:25:14,513
'She okay?'
498
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,646
Time comes, Lil.
499
00:25:17,733 --> 00:25:20,257
I might need you
to have my back, too.
500
00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:23,783
Partners, right?
501
00:25:38,928 --> 00:25:40,930
- Thought I was invisible.
- So did we.
502
00:25:41,017 --> 00:25:43,106
Till we found your name
in a Jones brothers payroll.
503
00:25:43,193 --> 00:25:45,065
Quite a healthy rap sheet
you got there, Eddie.
504
00:25:45,152 --> 00:25:47,241
Mama always said I had a little
bit of the devil in me.
505
00:25:47,328 --> 00:25:49,591
Sure she's real
proud, drugs
506
00:25:49,678 --> 00:25:51,637
cons, kiting checks.
507
00:25:51,724 --> 00:25:54,596
Youthful indiscretions,
detectives.
508
00:25:54,683 --> 00:25:56,076
Made a few mistakes.
509
00:25:56,163 --> 00:25:59,383
Is she one of those
indiscretions?
510
00:25:59,470 --> 00:26:01,037
You might say that.
511
00:26:01,124 --> 00:26:03,039
But she was far
from a mistake.
512
00:26:03,126 --> 00:26:04,388
'Destroying Mia's rig'
513
00:26:04,475 --> 00:26:05,825
threatening her
in front of witnesses.
514
00:26:05,912 --> 00:26:07,043
- Those aren't mistakes?
- Wait a second.
515
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:08,479
I didn't even work the big top.
516
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:09,829
I know. She had
you kicked out.
517
00:26:09,916 --> 00:26:11,961
Had you shoveling
pachyderm pies.
518
00:26:12,048 --> 00:26:14,050
Cost you money, not
to mention your pride.
519
00:26:14,137 --> 00:26:15,443
About to narc you out.
520
00:26:15,530 --> 00:26:16,749
But you weren't
looking to do jail time
521
00:26:16,836 --> 00:26:18,054
so you did her instead.
522
00:26:18,141 --> 00:26:21,710
You got me. Guilty as charged.
523
00:26:21,797 --> 00:26:24,495
- If you call love a crime.
- "Love"?
524
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:26,759
Anyone could see
that-that girl
525
00:26:26,846 --> 00:26:28,935
was a bud about to bloom.
526
00:26:29,022 --> 00:26:30,893
All she needed was
a double dose of Eddie.
527
00:26:30,980 --> 00:26:32,939
I might just hit you
on principle.
528
00:26:33,026 --> 00:26:35,506
Seem to have that
effect on women.
529
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:37,987
The other side of desire.
530
00:26:38,074 --> 00:26:39,510
'That young lady'
531
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:41,164

Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday.
536
00:26:57,833 --> 00:27:00,053
I've been shoveling
crap my whole life.
537
00:27:00,140 --> 00:27:02,403
So don't lose any
sleep over me, okay?
538
00:27:04,187 --> 00:27:05,406
I'm just under
a lot of pressure
539
00:27:05,493 --> 00:27:08,714
and I could've
handled it better.
540
00:27:11,064 --> 00:27:13,240
I heard about your folks.
541
00:27:13,327 --> 00:27:16,983
It takes a lot of guts
doing what you're doing.
542
00:27:17,070 --> 00:27:18,549
Well, I don't really know
what else to do.
543
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:21,988
I mean...family needs me.
544
00:27:22,075 --> 00:27:24,164
I guess you had to grow up
a little fast around here.
545
00:27:24,251 --> 00:27:27,167
So maybe, you and I aren't
so different after all.
546
00:27:28,908 --> 00:27:30,561
Sounds like you've
been around quite a bit.
547
00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:33,826
What about you? I never heard of
a circus that didn't travel.
548
00:27:33,913 --> 00:27:35,175
I've been to a bunch of places
549
00:27:35,262 --> 00:27:37,220
but I never get
to leave the lot.
550
00:27:37,307 --> 00:27:38,569
Never?
551
00:27:40,006 --> 00:27:42,704
Once.
552
00:27:42,791 --> 00:27:46,316
When I was a little girl, my mom
took me down to Bourbon street.
553
00:27:46,403 --> 00:27:48,144
New Orleans.
554
00:27:48,231 --> 00:27:50,233
There was one
of those jazz funerals.
555
00:27:51,365 --> 00:27:54,977
Something eerie about it, but..
556
00:27:55,064 --> 00:27:56,675

Anywhere but this
stick and rag show.
568
00:29:20,541 --> 00:29:22,848
'You're 18. You can
do anything you want.'
569
00:29:22,935 --> 00:29:24,980
Mia! Giving it up
to some gaucho!
570
00:29:25,067 --> 00:29:26,286
Have you lost
your mind?
571
00:29:26,373 --> 00:29:27,678
- Come on!
- No!
572
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:30,246
- Get out. Come with me!
- Wait..
573
00:29:30,333 --> 00:29:31,508
'Cleo! No!'
574
00:29:31,595 --> 00:29:33,032
'Come on!'
575
00:29:38,951 --> 00:29:40,169
I felt bad for Mia.
576
00:29:40,256 --> 00:29:41,518
If you ask me,
there was something
577
00:29:41,605 --> 00:29:43,999
weird was going on
between those two.
578
00:29:44,086 --> 00:29:46,480
You know, she was 18 and they
were still sharing a boxcar.
579
00:29:46,567 --> 00:29:47,786
Sketchy.
580
00:29:47,873 --> 00:29:49,657
Sketchier than an
alcoholic clown?
581
00:29:49,744 --> 00:29:52,573
Next day, she had a busted lip..
582
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:54,096
...compliments of Cleo.
583
00:29:54,183 --> 00:29:57,273
You painted a pretty
picture of Mia, Cleo.
584
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,711
But, uh, but she wasn't such
an angel, now, was she?
585
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:04,803
Droppin' acid, doing riggers,
then there's you.
586
00:30:04,890 --> 00:30:06,717
Me? What the hell's
that supposed to mean?
587
00:30:06,805 --> 00:30:08,458
Keeping tight quarters
with a teenage girl
588
00:30:08,545 --> 00:30:10,243
all those years...
used to having her
589
00:30:10,330 --> 00:30:11,592
by your side.
590
00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:14,508
- What are you saying?
- Take a seat.
591
00:30:16,466 --> 00:30:18,164
I slept on the floor.
592
00:30:20,340 --> 00:30:22,603
I would never, ever do
what you're suggesting.
593
00:30:22,690 --> 00:30:24,474
- Mia was my daughter.
- She was not blood.
594
00:30:24,561 --> 00:30:26,520
Was to me!
595
00:30:26,607 --> 00:30:28,087
Maybe I was strict
and overprotective
596
00:30:28,174 --> 00:30:30,002
but that place was
swarming with snakes.
597
00:30:30,089 --> 00:30:33,744
- Like Eddie Armstrong?
- Damn straight.
598
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:37,052
Combed the lot, found her
tripping with that..
599
00:30:37,139 --> 00:30:38,532
...fink trying
to get in her pants.
600
00:30:38,619 --> 00:30:40,055
I just snapped.
601
00:30:40,142 --> 00:30:42,057
Oh, busted her lip trying
to show her who's boss.
602
00:30:42,144 --> 00:30:46,148
No! Never laid a hand on her.
603
00:30:46,235 --> 00:30:47,846
She was so out of it,
kept falling.
604
00:30:47,933 --> 00:30:50,849
I watched her all night
till she finally came down.
605
00:30:50,936 --> 00:30:52,415
Always there to catch her, huh?
606
00:30:54,069 --> 00:30:56,593
Not always.
607
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,334
But I tried.
608
00:30:58,421 --> 00:31:00,684
But you couldn't let go.
609
00:31:00,771 --> 00:31:03,252
And all you had was
her and that bottle.
610
00:31:03,339 --> 00:31:05,907
She was becoming a woman.
You were losing her.
611
00:31:05,994 --> 00:31:09,128
Holding her back so much that...
you were suffocating her.
612
00:31:09,215 --> 00:31:10,564
No, you're wrong.
613
00:31:10,651 --> 00:31:13,132
Loved her so much,
I wanted her to go.
614
00:31:13,219 --> 00:31:15,743
She needed to get away
from that place.
615
00:31:17,092 --> 00:31:18,659

636
00:32:57,584 --> 00:33:00,500
You were...beautiful.
637
00:33:00,587 --> 00:33:03,285
You looked just like
your mother up there.
638
00:33:03,372 --> 00:33:04,852
- You liked it?
- I've seen the future
639
00:33:04,939 --> 00:33:06,027
And you're it, kiddo.
640
00:33:06,114 --> 00:33:07,986
Your act is too good
for this top.
641
00:33:08,073 --> 00:33:10,075
What are you talking about?
This is exactly what we need.
642
00:33:10,162 --> 00:33:11,511
You heard the crowd.
This will save us.
643
00:33:11,598 --> 00:33:14,949
This place is dying. You
don't need to die with it.
644
00:33:15,036 --> 00:33:16,472
But this is my family.
645
00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:18,257
Cleo, I'm not going anywhere.
646
00:33:18,344 --> 00:33:22,739
You know how...when
a circus elephant is born
647
00:33:22,826 --> 00:33:25,786
the bull handler will secure
it with a thin rope
648
00:33:25,873 --> 00:33:27,744
tied to a skinny stick
in the ground?
649
00:33:27,831 --> 00:33:29,964
Sure, and when
that elephant grows up
650
00:33:30,051 --> 00:33:34,055
that rope and skinny stick
can still make him stay put.
651
00:33:34,142 --> 00:33:36,971
That stick can't
hold you anymore.
652
00:33:38,712 --> 00:33:40,496
Are you calling me an elephant?
653
00:33:47,155 --> 00:33:50,376
I wish she'd listened to me,
but it was already too late.
654
00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:51,768
She fell the next night.
655
00:33:51,855 --> 00:33:54,771
Buried her in
the Romanov family plot.
656
00:33:54,858 --> 00:33:58,384
A few days later, I was back
on the sawdust in Allentown.
657
00:33:58,471 --> 00:33:59,820
A few days?
658
00:33:59,907 --> 00:34:01,691
Thought the circus was
due in Allentown
659
00:34:01,778 --> 00:34:02,953
the night after the accident?
660
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:04,259
Don't know who told you that.
661
00:34:04,346 --> 00:34:06,783
No, we had a week
between stops.
662
00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:08,568
Got the route card
to prove it.
663
00:34:13,268 --> 00:34:15,836
Losing track of all
your lies, Biggie.
664
00:34:15,923 --> 00:34:17,664
Told us you were due
in Allentown when you
665
00:34:17,751 --> 00:34:19,405
had a week between gigs.
666
00:34:19,492 --> 00:34:23,191
We had to wildcat it out
of there after Mia's nosedive.
667
00:34:23,278 --> 00:34:26,586
Especially since you had
a murder scene to tear down.
668
00:34:26,673 --> 00:34:28,153
Come on, who's going
to take their kiddies
669
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:30,416
to see us after
a fall like that?
670
00:34:30,503 --> 00:34:31,808
Thought with a little
extra time, we could
671
00:34:31,895 --> 00:34:34,115
drum up some business
in Allentown.
672
00:34:36,422 --> 00:34:39,120
I know what it looks like, but
it was a business decision.
673
00:34:39,207 --> 00:34:41,166
You weren't the only one
making business decisions.
674
00:34:41,253 --> 00:34:43,385
Found out Ringling
brothers wanted Mia.
675
00:34:43,472 --> 00:34:46,562
Ringling, they tried
to poach everyone.
676
00:34:46,649 --> 00:34:48,651
After everything your
family had done for her.
677
00:34:48,738 --> 00:34:50,436
Raising Mia as
one of their own.
678
00:34:50,523 --> 00:34:53,613
Knew if you lost her, it was all
over. Mia wouldn't fall in line.
679
00:34:53,700 --> 00:34:56,224
Left a little man with a big
temper holding the bag.
680
00:34:56,311 --> 00:34:58,400
And when it's all
said and done
681
00:34:58,487 --> 00:35:00,228
Mia ends up eating sawdust.
682
00:35:00,315 --> 00:35:03,013
Come on, you guys.
683
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,625
Do I look like
I could hurt anyone?
684
00:35:05,712 --> 00:35:07,757
'Spoke to Biggie, Lester.'
685
00:35:07,844 --> 00:35:09,498
Remember him?
686
00:35:09,585 --> 00:35:11,283
Yes. Biggie.
687
00:35:11,370 --> 00:35:14,460
Well, he says
you killed Mia.
688
00:35:14,547 --> 00:35:16,070
Me?
689
00:35:16,157 --> 00:35:17,550
'Biggie couldn't
have killed Mia.'
690
00:35:17,637 --> 00:35:20,770
Couldn't have lifted her
up into that cocoon.
691
00:35:20,857 --> 00:35:22,076
'I'm thinking he'
692
00:35:22,163 --> 00:35:24,818
forced you to do it, Lester.
693
00:35:24,905 --> 00:35:27,777
Like he always forced you.
694
00:35:27,864 --> 00:35:29,736
'You don't have to be
scared of Biggie anymore.'
695
00:35:29,823 --> 00:35:31,390
He can't hurt you.
696
00:35:31,477 --> 00:35:33,348
No, you got it wrong!
697
00:35:33,435 --> 00:35:36,351
'You put yourself at
the scene, Biggie.'
698
00:35:36,438 --> 00:35:38,658
- Said she was "good to go"
- 'Mia was dead.'
699
00:35:38,745 --> 00:35:41,139
You got Lester to stuff her
into silks just to cover it up.
700
00:35:41,226 --> 00:35:44,794
I'd done some things
I had to do.
701
00:35:44,881 --> 00:35:47,797
But I did not kill Mia.
702
00:35:51,105 --> 00:35:52,628
'If you could please find it in
your heart to donate again'
703
00:35:52,715 --> 00:35:53,890
'to help orphaned
children get a chance'
704
00:35:53,977 --> 00:35:55,979
to see the human butterfly
705
00:35:56,066 --> 00:35:57,764
'In return, for helping make
these children's dreams'
706
00:35:57,851 --> 00:35:59,461
come true, your company
name will be featured
707
00:35:59,548 --> 00:36:01,202
in our special program.
708
00:36:01,289 --> 00:36:03,770
'Hey, Mia.'
709
00:36:03,857 --> 00:36:06,033
- What are you doing here?
- This makes no sense.
710
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,514
It says we've sold 800 tickets.
The top only sits 400.
711
00:36:08,601 --> 00:36:10,080
- What are you doing, Biggie?
- Alright, everyone.
712
00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:12,126
Scram.
713
00:36:13,301 --> 00:36:15,216
Listen, sweetheart
714
00:36:15,303 --> 00:36:17,871
to make sure that
the show can go on
715
00:36:17,958 --> 00:36:19,220
I've had to be a
little creative.
716
00:36:19,307 --> 00:36:20,874
We're not affiliated
with any charity
717
00:36:20,961 --> 00:36:23,006
but you're selling
tickets in their name.
718
00:36:23,093 --> 00:36:24,704
Where were these
kids in the stands?
719
00:36:24,791 --> 00:36:26,140
It's a write-off
to local businesses.
720
00:36:26,227 --> 00:36:28,360
It's one thing to rip
people off on the midway
721
00:36:28,447 --> 00:36:30,971
but you're going to use my act
to scam charities for orphans?
722
00:36:31,058 --> 00:36:32,538
What do you care?
723
00:36:32,625 --> 00:36:35,802
You'll be flying under
the Ringling top soon.
724
00:36:35,889 --> 00:36:37,107
- What?
- 'That's right.'
725
00:36:37,195 --> 00:36:39,109
I know all about it.
726
00:36:41,155 --> 00:36:44,027
I can't believe you, Biggie.
727
00:36:44,114 --> 00:36:46,508
I was going to tell
them "no." But now?
728
00:36:57,650 --> 00:36:59,260
Once I told management
729
00:36:59,347 --> 00:37:00,957
it was out of my hands.
730
00:37:01,044 --> 00:37:02,220
"Management," huh?
731
00:37:02,307 --> 00:37:03,569
Controlled the whole thing.
732
00:37:03,656 --> 00:37:06,702
And just who was
this management?
733
00:37:06,789 --> 00:37:09,792
- Bunch of suits out of Florida.
- You see, that's a crock.
734
00:37:09,879 --> 00:37:11,490
The SEC has no record
735
00:37:11,577 --> 00:37:13,709
of J.B. Ricketts investments.
736
00:37:13,796 --> 00:37:15,276
But Wikipedia does.
737
00:37:15,363 --> 00:37:19,454
J.B. Ricketts founded
The American circus.
738
00:37:19,541 --> 00:37:22,327
Died in 1799.
739
00:37:22,414 --> 00:37:23,719
There was no
"management." It was you.
740
00:37:23,806 --> 00:37:25,155
No.
741
00:37:26,809 --> 00:37:30,726
If it were just that simple.
742
00:37:30,813 --> 00:37:32,989
You were diagnosed with, uh
743
00:37:33,076 --> 00:37:36,428
is it "cerebral gigantism"?
744
00:37:36,515 --> 00:37:38,430
It's a pretty rare disorder.
745
00:37:38,517 --> 00:37:40,475
Often accompanied
with diminished
746
00:37:40,562 --> 00:37:42,390
mental capacity.
747
00:37:42,477 --> 00:37:44,087
The D.A.'s willing
to cut a deal for you.
748
00:37:44,174 --> 00:37:46,176
We don't want to send you to
county, so you tell us
749
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:47,874
what happened and
we'll make sure you go
750
00:37:47,961 --> 00:37:49,876
to a comfortable
medical facility.
751
00:37:49,963 --> 00:37:51,617
'Oh, yeah, they'll get
you squared away.'
752
00:37:51,704 --> 00:37:55,360
In a year or two, you're
a handyman and ready again.
753
00:37:57,536 --> 00:37:59,407
Help us put Biggie
away for good.
754
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:13,116
Biggie was a...a monster.
755
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:19,601
He...he...he made me.
756
00:38:23,257 --> 00:38:26,608
This lifeline, those meds
pretty expensive.
757
00:38:26,695 --> 00:38:29,002
I didn't know the circus
had such great benefits.
758
00:38:29,089 --> 00:38:30,743
'So, we decided to check.'
759
00:38:30,830 --> 00:38:32,397
Turns out they don't.
760
00:38:32,484 --> 00:38:34,486
Your medicine is paid for
by a private company.
761
00:38:34,573 --> 00:38:36,879
Same company pays your rent.
762
00:38:36,966 --> 00:38:39,055
- You don't get it, do you?
- No, I get it.
763
00:38:39,142 --> 00:38:41,406
And you're going to prison, and
there's no PPO in the pokie.
764
00:38:41,493 --> 00:38:44,322
A guy like you
won't last six months.
765
00:38:46,411 --> 00:38:47,499
'Last time, Big.'
766
00:38:47,586 --> 00:38:49,065
Who was management?
767
00:38:55,898 --> 00:38:57,639
"He made me."
768
00:38:57,726 --> 00:38:59,380
'Man, I hope we got
that on video.'
769
00:38:59,467 --> 00:39:01,121
'Submit it to the academy.'
770
00:39:01,208 --> 00:39:02,165
'See, the thing is'
771
00:39:02,252 --> 00:39:04,211
people with cerebral gigantism
772
00:39:04,298 --> 00:39:05,865
although usually
bigger as children
773
00:39:05,952 --> 00:39:08,128
are often in the normal
height range as adults.
774
00:39:08,215 --> 00:39:10,086
Far from normal,
Gargantuan.
775
00:39:10,173 --> 00:39:12,350
'That country doctor
misdiagnosed you.'
776
00:39:12,437 --> 00:39:14,177
'You don't have
cerebral gigantism.'
777
00:39:14,264 --> 00:39:16,528
- You're just big.
- No, but you ain't no dummy.
778
00:39:16,615 --> 00:39:18,268
See, I wanted
to talk to your boss.
779
00:39:18,356 --> 00:39:19,661
Went to the city tax assessors
780
00:39:19,748 --> 00:39:21,359
to see who owns that
building you maintain.
781
00:39:21,446 --> 00:39:23,186
Found out, it's you.
You own it.
782
00:39:23,273 --> 00:39:24,971
'Along with half
a dozen others.'
783
00:39:25,058 --> 00:39:26,668
Big top, incorporated.
784
00:39:26,755 --> 00:39:28,583
'Same company that
pays Biggie's bill.'
785
00:39:28,670 --> 00:39:30,411
You were "management."
786
00:39:32,065 --> 00:39:34,067
Me?
787
00:39:36,286 --> 00:39:37,679
Biggie's confession.
788
00:39:37,766 --> 00:39:39,551
I'd give it to you
in picture form
789
00:39:39,638 --> 00:39:42,249
but we know you weren't
hit with the idiot stick.
790
00:39:42,336 --> 00:39:45,557
In fact, you're a millionaire.
791
00:39:48,298 --> 00:39:50,344
'Now, Biggie told us how
his circus was dying'
792
00:39:50,431 --> 00:39:52,955
till you took it over.
You weren't his puppet.
793
00:39:53,042 --> 00:39:54,435
He was yours.
794
00:40:01,311 --> 00:40:02,704
Seen that fear
in your eyes
795
00:40:02,791 --> 00:40:04,663
all my life.
796
00:40:04,750 --> 00:40:08,057
But when those cake eaters
would step into ten-in-one
797
00:40:08,144 --> 00:40:09,494
looking at me.
798
00:40:09,581 --> 00:40:12,105
Laughing.
799
00:40:12,192 --> 00:40:13,628
Pointing.
800
00:40:13,715 --> 00:40:15,587
They thought I was on exhibit.
801
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:19,852
But I was studying them.
802
00:40:19,939 --> 00:40:23,159
So you concocted a scam
to get back at them.
803
00:40:23,246 --> 00:40:25,248
- Steal their money.
- Prove you were smarter.
804
00:40:25,335 --> 00:40:27,990
No. It was about
preserving our family.
805
00:40:28,077 --> 00:40:29,601
Our livelihoods.
806
00:40:29,688 --> 00:40:32,778
The one place where no one
would treat me like a freak.
807
00:40:32,865 --> 00:40:35,041
But Mia busted you on your scam.
808
00:40:35,128 --> 00:40:36,477
Wouldn't take part.
809
00:40:36,564 --> 00:40:37,739
We could've moved on.
810
00:40:37,826 --> 00:40:39,611
Gone back to the family we were.
811
00:40:39,698 --> 00:40:42,352
I couldn't just...sit by
812
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,007
and have her tear us apart.
813
00:40:49,011 --> 00:40:51,187
'Wanted to wish you
a good show, kid.'
814
00:40:52,928 --> 00:40:55,191
But Mia, what you saw
815
00:40:55,278 --> 00:40:58,151
'those phone calls, will
never happen again, Mia.'
816
00:40:58,238 --> 00:41:00,327
'We'll sell out
with your act and some'
817
00:41:00,414 --> 00:41:02,721
old-fashioned bally.
818
00:41:02,808 --> 00:41:04,200
Family again.
819
00:41:04,287 --> 00:41:07,116
'No blood, no foul.'
820
00:41:07,203 --> 00:41:09,554
You expect me to trust
you? You're a con.
821
00:41:09,641 --> 00:41:10,990
Mia, listen--
822
00:41:11,077 --> 00:41:12,295
You know what
a con man hates most?
823
00:41:12,382 --> 00:41:13,645
People knowing the truth.
824
00:41:15,255 --> 00:41:16,256
Look, there's no need
825
00:41:16,343 --> 00:41:17,649
to get the cops involved.
826
00:41:17,736 --> 00:41:19,389
I'm a kinker. No cops.
827
00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:22,392
After the show, I'm
telling the family the truth.
828
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,960
Mia! Don't be a fool.
829
00:41:25,047 --> 00:41:26,527
Let them make their own
decisions, Biggie.
830
00:41:27,572 --> 00:41:29,791
I've already made mine.
831
00:41:29,878 --> 00:41:31,619
