警察负责调查罪案 The police who investigate crime,
检察官对罪犯提起诉讼 and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.
以下就是他们的故事 These are their stories.
Feffer夫人说我的手太小了 Mrs. Feffer says my hands are too small.

应该派你去大都会队当投手 哈(Shea 为大都会队主场) Should put you in the corner at Shea, huh?
年薪两千九百万美元以下免谈 I'd go for a hell of a lot less than $29 million.
现在那家伙就是个笨蛋 他赔率多少来着 2.20 Guy's a bum. What's he at, 2.20?
嘿 那也总比他们上个投手好吧 Hey, he's better than the last guy they had, huh?
至少也打断一条腿吧 Least he could do is break a leg.
整个队都是伤病名单里的人 他也伤不了 He can't hurt the team from the DL.

Gelfand夫人说她就可以加入乐队了 Mrs. Gelfand says she can be in the band.

男孩的名字叫Roberto Martinez Kid's name is Roberto Martinez.
交通事故处的人还在检查现场 Guys from Al are down at the scene.

第三季 第4集
Roberto死了 Roberto is dead,
而你们却什么也做不了 and there's nothing you can do?
Martinez夫人 这非常不幸 Mrs. Martinez, it's most unfortunate.
医院说 The hospital said
您的孩子是死于心脏病发作 your son died of a heart attack.
他当然是死于心脏病发作 Of course he had a heart attack.
他那个心脏起搏器 He had a pacemaker
还不如它的塑料包装有价值 that wasrt worth the plastic it was wrapped in.
心脏起搏器 Pacemaker?
那孩子不是才16岁吗 The kid was, what, 16?
18岁了 18.
怎么 现在只有杀未成年人才犯法吗 What, it's only illegal to kill minors these days?
Roberto心脏有问题 Roberto had a heart condition.
一些江湖骗子往他心脏上装了个玩意 Some quack sticks a do-da in his chest,
那玩意一走火 这孩子就死了 the thing misfires, and he's dead.
我真的很抱歉 I'm really very sorry,
但是Fischel先生 我真 but if there was a crime here, Mr. Fischel,
不觉得这是起犯罪 then I don't see it.
即使真的是你说的那样 Now if what you're saying is true,
那你的委托人可以起诉心脏起搏器的生产厂家 then your client can sue the company that made the pacemaker.
不好意思打断下但是 Excuse me, but, uh,
你在哪儿学的法律啊 what law school did you go to?
有人为了巨额赔偿起诉厂家 We're suing the company for millions.
有人为了巨额赔偿起诉医生 We're suing the doctor for millions.
但Martinez夫人想要的只是小小的正义 Mrs. Martinez here wants a little justice.
你是说复仇 不是吗 You mean revenge, don't you?
你为什么不和我们合作呢 律师先生 Why don't you just work with us, okay, Counselor?
Roberto并不需要什么心脏起搏器 Roberto didn't need a pacemaker.
在我看来 那很没必要 In my book, that's unnecessary surgery.
然后那个破烂坏掉了 他就死了 The thing craps out, and he's dead.
这是伤害 而且是谋杀重罪 That's assault and felony murder.
他不是有心脏病吗 I thought he had a heart condition.
噢 本来可以通过药物治疗的 Oh, it could have been treated with drugs,
不过那样 医生的诊费 but then the good doctor's fee
就要减半了 would have been cut in half.
那医生叫什么名字 What is this doctor's name?
Trevor Hellems 医生 Dr. Trevor Hellems.
他在87街 He's on 87th.
好的 Okay.
我们会调查的 We'll check it out.
谢谢 Thank you.
Martinez夫人 Mrs. Martinez.
嗨 Fischel Hey, Fischel,
你突然这么有人道精神了 what makes you such a freaking humanitarian?
只要我能起诉那个混蛋医生 I get this dirtbag indicted,
保险公司就会马上赔偿 and the insurance company settles on day one.
而且那个混蛋医生确实有罪 And this dirtbag is guilty.
不 我没预料到你们会来 No, I didn't expect you,
但我确实知道你们为什么而来 but I certainly know why you're here.
Peter Fischel 律政大鳄 Peter Fischel. Talk about sharks.
他已经给把文件送过来了 He's already served you with papers?
是的 Yeah.
就是因为这家伙 很多和我一起毕业的医生 The man's the reason a lot of doctors
现在却在开出租车 I graduated with are now driving cabs.
他这次又蠢蠢欲动 He's topped himself this time,
要向我大举进攻了 calling in the infantry.
他声称Roberto Martinez的手术 Well, he claims the surgery on Roberto Martinez
是没有必要的 was unnecessary.
原来法学院 I didn't know they taught
还教阵发性室上性心搏过速(心律失常) supraventricular tachycardia in law school.
Roberto得的就是这种病 That, uh, was Roberto's problem.
一种心律不齐疾病 An irregular heartbeat that speeds up
病发时心跳频率可以从正常的70次/min now and again from a normal 70
升至200次/min to as high as 200 beats per minute.
戴那个心脏起搏器就可以控制好了吗 And the pacemaker controls that?
本应该能控制好的 It's supposed to.
有没有可能Roberto不戴那个起搏器 Is it possible Roberto could have lived
也能活的好好呢 without the pacemaker?
你也看到了它失效的时候 发生了什么 You saw what happened when it didn't work.
Fischel先生坚称那孩子的病 Mr. Fischel contends he could have been treated
用药物也可以有效治疗的 just as effectively with drugs.
呃 有些医生也许会这么想吧 Hmm. Some doctors might agree,
但是我这派认为 but I'm of the school that believes
不应该让一个年轻的病人 you don't needlessly subject young patients
一辈子都受制于有毒副作用的药物 to a lifetime of toxic drugs.
是的 但是药物一般不会突然失效啊 Yeah, but the drugs don't usually break.
BioNorm牌起搏器也不会 Neither do BioNorm pacemakers.
过去的几十年心脏起搏器技术已十分成熟完善 Pacemaker technology has been well-established for decades.
而BioNorm公司正站在行业前沿 BioNorm Industries is at the forefront.
无论Fischel先生怎么说 My decision to implant the device
我坚信我为那孩子植入心脏起搏器 was a sound medical decision,
是妥善的治疗方案 no matter what Mr. Fischel says.
但恐怕接下来的六年时间 And I guess I'll spend the next six years
我都要向法庭证明这一切了 in court proving it.
托马斯街305号 Rosa Martinez太太家 4月14日 周二
Martinez夫人 Mrs. Martinez,
我们和很多专家都谈过了 we spoke with several specialists
他们和我们说 and they have told us
Hellems医生给Roberto做的手术 that Dr. Hellems did nothing illegal
并无违法之处 when he operated on Roberto.
如果没有人做错事 If nobody did anything wrong,
那为什么他们今早给我送来了五万美元 then why did they offer me $50,000 this morning?
是谁送的 Who are "they"?
BioNorm 生产了那个起搏器的公司 BioNorm. The company that made the pacemaker.
你接受了吗 Did you take it?
Roberto 说 Roberto said
等到他成为一个有钱的医生 that when he was a rich doctor,
就送 Ana 去茱莉亚音乐学院深造 he'd pay for Ana to go to Juilliard.
五万美元可以用来付学费 $50,000 pays tuition.
他们说我需要签一份合同 They told me that I had to sign a paper
保证保密此事 agreeing not to say anything.
我想要全世界知道 I want the world to know
就是这些人杀了我的孩子 that these people killed my son.
也许BioNorm 只是发善心呢 Could be BioNorm has a heart.
这里是商业化美国 可不是什么童子军营 This is corporate America, not a Cub Scout troop.
你做件好事 你的公关部 You do a good deed, your PR department
会把它在报纸头版大肆宣扬 splashes it all over the front page.
我老爸装了一个新的起搏器 My old man got a new ticker.
才多活了六年 Got to listen to my old lady screaming at him
听我老妈唠叨 for six more years.
那您老是想说 And your point is?
这些公司 These companies,
他们的工作就是让大家保住命 their job is keeping people alive.
对 并且如果他们搞砸了 Yeah, and if they screw up,
他们就必须被解雇 they ought to get handed a pink slip.
Phil 十万个人中有一个会青霉素过敏而死 Phil, one person out of 100,000 dies from taking penicillin.
难道这样我们就不用青霉素了吗 That means we shouldn't take it?
不 但如果有可能是青霉素本身出问题了呢 No, but what if there's a chance the penicillin is bad?
只死了一个小孩 Phil One kid died, Phil.
我们知道的只有这一个 One kid that we know about.
这才是让我害怕的地方 And that scares the hell out of me.
第10大道563号 BioNorm实业 4月14日 周二
律师们把这叫做赔偿 Lawyers call it compensation.
我把这叫做勒索 I call it blackmail.
那男孩心脏里的起搏器 There's absolutely nothing wrong
绝对一点问题都没有 with the device in that boy's heart.
那么你检查过咯 So you examined it?
不 我不必那么做 No, I didn't have to.
听着 无论你们想怎么调查 Look, whatever study you want to go by,
我们是世界三大心脏起搏器销售商之一 our pacemaker's one of the top three sellers in the world.
我们从未出过问题 We've never had any problem.
你给了 Martinez 夫人五万美元 You offered Mrs. Martinez $50,000.
看起来你们是想解决 Some might say that's a solution
一个很大的问题啊 to a pretty big problem.
五万美元 $50,000.
找律师打官司 头一个礼拜就得花这么多 That would be in my lawyer's pocket the first week.
像是有点痒 就挠一下了 There was an itch. I tried to scratch it.
Cleary先生 这可比 一点痒 要严重得多 Mr. Cleary, that's more than an itch.
那个孩子死了 The boy died.
那你难道想我 Well, do you want me
到坟墓里去和他做伴 to hop down in the grave beside him?
听着 35年前 Look, 35 years ago,
我父亲在科罗娜市开了家小餐馆 my old man owned a greasy spoon in Corona.
一位老太太在他店里滑倒 摔断了髋骨 An old lady slipped. She broke her hip.
她那几个讼棍(不择手段的律师)就把我父亲榨了个精光 By the time her gaggle of shysters got through with him,
连口锅都没给他剩下 he didn't have a proverbial pot.
如今 我绝不会 Now, there's no way
让我的家庭再被闪电击中一次 lightning strikes my family twice.
如果 Roberto的起搏器失灵 If Roberto's pacemaker didn't function,
那他就有权... he is entitled to...
查一下你的消息来源吧 警官 Check your source, Detective.
Peter Fischel 说我的起搏器失灵 Peter Fischel said it was a malfunction.
他们这种人张口就会这样说 That's the first thing those people always say.
那封口费又是怎么回事呢 What about the gag order?
我和Martinez 夫人没有任何冲突 I've got nothing against Mrs. Martinez.
她看上去是个好人 She seems like a very nice person.
但她要是继续像 Geraldo (美国著名记者 Geraldo Rivera) But if she goes on Geraldo
那样宣扬她儿子 and starts talking about how her boy died
死的时候戴着我们造的起搏器 with one of my pacemakers in his chest,
那我整个公司就得关门大吉了 well, my whole company goes down the crapper.
那你现在告诉我 谁更糟糕 So, you tell me, who's worse,
是那些律师还是他们的委托人 the lawyers or their clients?
把粪池子掏干见底 Scrape the bottom of any cesspool,
你会看到那里站着成排的法学博士 you'll find it lined with JDs.
本来天下太平直到某个律师跳了出来 Everything works until some lawyer says it doesn't.
并且如 Cleary先生那样文雅地认为 And as Mr. Cleary so elegantly opined:
"他们这种人张口就会这样说" "That's the first thing those people always say."
对他这样一个从未有过法律纠纷的人而言 That's seems a pretty astute observation for somebody
他的观察还真敏锐啊 who's never had a legal problem.
Cleary 说他的起搏器从没发生过 Cleary said he never had any problems
任何问题 with his pacemakers,
而不是说他从没被起诉过 not that he never got sued.
也许我们应该看看别人怎么说 Maybe we should get the other side of the story.
对不起 就我所知 目前没有 Sorry. As far as I can tell, there's nothing
一件针对他们的官司 currently pending against them.
一家没被起诉过的公司 A corporation that's not getting sued?
我没美利坚的信仰又回来了 There goes my faith in America.
但他们还是有可能有官司缠身 Well, they could still be knee-deep in litigation.
可以不经法庭起诉 You can sue without going to court?
在民事案件中 庭审不是必须的 In civil cases, the courts don't get involved
除非其中一方需要司法裁决 until one of the parties needs a judicial determination.
所以没有法庭记录 So until then, the court has no record.
如果案子和解了 法院可能永远都不知道 If the case is settled, the court may never know.
那我们就没法知道 We have no way of knowing
BioNorm 公司有没有被起诉过啦 if BioNorm had ever been sued.
你可以去食品与药品管理局查一下 You could check with FDA.
他们那至少有投诉记录 They'll at least have a record of complaints.
当然 我听说过他们公司 Sure, I've heard of them.
他们生产心脏起搏器 胰岛素调节器 They make pacemakers, insulin regulators.
生意是蒸蒸日上 Expanding daily.
内部消息 他们公司上市是迟早的事 Inside info, they're goir public any day.
他们生产的起搏器出过什么问题吗 Any problems with those pacemakers?
没什么太大的问题 Nothing dramatic.
有六份医生发来的初步报告 Half a dozen preliminary reports from doctors.
有没有关于起搏器失灵的 How about malfunctioning pacemakers?
没有什么很具体的 I don't have any specifics.
都没有通过投诉阶段 They've never got past the complaint stage.
六起起搏器失灵事故 你们都没有跟进调查吗 Six pacemakers failed, and you never followed up?
请原谅 事实上是医生们 Excuse me, but it was the doctors
没有跟进调查 who never followed up.
他们提出投诉 我们寄给他们表格 They file a complaint, we send them the forms.
如果医生们接下来不回应 我们也就不会管了 If the doctors don't respond, we don't pursue the matter.
今年可是大选年 先生们 It's an election year, gentlemen.
谁都想削减政府开支 Everybody wants to cut government spending.
猜猜他们先对谁下手 Guess whose pocket is the first to get picked?
让我来猜猜 是你 我 还有其他所有人的 Let me guess.You, me, and everybody else.
我们人手不足 工资又低 We are understaffed,underpaid.
整个国家都在抱怨 The whole country's screaming about
硅胶隆胸啦 silicone breast implants,
三唑仑(一种安眠药)啦 辐照食品啦 Halcion, irradiated food.
六个可能失灵的起搏器 Six pacemakers that may have malfunctioned,
还真算不得是什么头等大事 that's not a high priority.
所以你就当什么也没发生过 So you just let it go.
手指交叉 祈祷没有人因此死去 Cross your fingers, hope no one else dies.
我们这又不是警局 We are not a policing agency.
我们是 We are.
你就把那些提交过投诉的医生 Suppose you just give us the numbers
电话号码给我们吧 of those doctors who filed the complaints?
我不想成为一个偶像破坏者 I hate to be an iconoclast.
我以为你是心脏病专家 I thought you were a cardiologist.
还是有医生真心关心他们的病人 Some doctors actually care about their patients.
大夫 食品药品管理局说你向他们 Doctor, the FDA says you filed a report
提交过报告但后来没有跟进调查问题 but never followed up with the questionnaire.
Alan Stein.
在35岁 他就完成了他的第四次马拉松 At 35, he finished his fourth marathon.
唯一的问题是他一天抽两包烟 The only trouble was he smoked two packs a day
而且在早餐前喝六杯黑咖啡 and drank six cups of black coffee before breakfast.
40岁时出现心跳异常 At 40, he developed a heart flutter.
心律不齐 Irregular beating.
他45岁的时候呢 And at 45?
这我们就永远没法知道了 We'll never know.
我说服他选择更健康的生活方式 I convinced him of the benefits of clean living,
植入心脏起搏器 implanted a pacemaker.
他本可以活到80岁的 He should have lived to 80.
但他的 BioNorm 起搏器出问题了 But his BioNorm pacemaker misfired.
BioNorm 付你封口费了 是吗 BioNorm bought your silence?
Tracy Alars 的妻子 还有他们4岁的孩子 Tracy, Alars wife, and his 4-year-old, Ben,
他们需要那笔钱 they needed the money.
那 Tracy 需要多少钱呢 How much money did Tracy need?
25万美元 附带一个不再追究的承诺 $250,000. With a caveat.
我要是跟Ralph Nader一样 她一个子儿也拿不到 I play Ralph Nader, she gets nada.
Ralph Nader 美国著名消费者权益律师 曾推动全美汽车安全标准的建立
但也许其他人 But maybe a few other people
就不会死 对吗 大夫 would have been alive, right, Doctor?
六个医生都曾向食品药品管理委员会提起投诉 All six doctors had filed complaints with the FDA.
他们的病人都死了 All of their patients died
并且死时都戴着 BioNorm 的起搏器 with BioNorm pacemakers in their chests.
活着的人还都签署了和解协议 All the survivors signed settlement agreements.
协议上还大方地附上了不公开相关信息的声明 Which conveniently contain non-disclosure statements.
Willie Sutton 都没他们会隐藏自己行径 Willie Sutton wasn't so good at covering his tracks.
Willie Sutton 美国大萧条时代大盗 以善于乔装改扮为名
死了7个人 Seven dead.
这说不定是起屠杀 We could be talking about mass murder here.
喔 喔 喔 他们被起诉 他们达成协议 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They got sued, they settled.
这可不是说他们在杀人啊 Doesn’t mean they're out killing people.
对 在Cleary对我们撒谎之前 我也是这样认为的 Yeah, well, that's how I felt till Cleary lied to us.
他说他从没有过任何纠纷 He said he'd never had any trouble.
小谎扯大谎 Tell a little lie, tell a big one.
我把话撂这儿了 Cleary肯定在隐瞒什么事 Take it from me, Cleary is covering something.
你们有24小时去调查他在隐瞒什么 You got 24 to find out what it is.
我只想留个还值点钱的公司给我儿子 I wanted to leave a company worth something to my son.
告我吧 Sue me.
不 我们说的是别的事情 No, we have something else in mind.
我已经告诉过你们了 I already told you, I didn't want
我不想看到负面新闻 五万美元是值得的 the bad press. $50,000 was well worth it.
别废话了 Cleary 先生 Cut the crap, Mr. Cleary.
我们知道其他的案子了 We know about the other cases.
这个案子不一样 This one's different.
好吧 好吧 All right, all right,
我们试着想自己解决 we tried to take care of it ourselves.
我们从未卖给过那个叫Martinez的孩子起搏器 We never sold a pacemaker to the Martinez boy.
那上面清清楚楚写着 BioNorm It sure as hell said "BioNorm."
不 我父亲说的是我们从没卖过 No, Dad said we didn't sell it,
不是从没生产过 not that we didn't make it.
Fischel送来文件之后 When Fischel served the papers,
我把文件中的序列号和我们的记录做了对比 I compared the serial numbers to the one in the complaint.
我们都做记录的 以防产品召回 We keep records, in case there's a recall.
那件起搏器是卖给了 We sold that particular device
Evelyn Stark 医生 to a Dr. Evelyn Stark
用在病人 Ethel Barnet 的身体上 for her patient Ethel Barnet.
那它是怎么中了魔法跑到 Martinez 身体里的 And it got into Roberto Martinez by magic?
警官 当今时代 Paper isn't the only thing
被循环利用的可不是只有纸张啊 being recycled these days, Detective.
圣母玛利亚 Mother of God.
你是说那孩子用的是个二手的起搏器 Are you saying the boy had a used pacemaker?
啊 这帮混蛋 Ah, the cheap bastards.
礼拜三在高尔夫球场玩 They lose a big Nassau on the golf course
Nassau 一种高尔夫球赌博游戏
输了一大笔钱 on Wednesday afternoon,
礼拜四就想靠卖二手医疗器材 Thursday they try to make it up
把钱捞回来 selling second-hand goods.
你从中就什么也得不到吗 You got nothing out of it?
有啊 胃溃疡 胃灼烧 Sure. The start of an ulcer, a heartburn.
但是为什么要给 Martinez夫人封口费呢 But why the offer to Mrs. Martinez?
我们想要公司上市 Well, we thought we'd go public.
不想让事情传开 We didn't want it out
人们会以为我们也有份 because people might think we were involved.
会影响到我们的发行备忘录 Now that wouldn't look very good on our offering memorandum.
我们正在尽力查出这是谁做的 We're doing our best to find the guy who's doing this.
我私下和 Stark医生谈过 I talked to Dr. Stark personally.
她说 无可奉告 No comment.
让我猜猜 她和律师谈过是吧 Let me guess. She talked to a lawyer.
真是 太"棒"了 That's great.
无可奉告 No comment.
翻译过来就是 我什么都不会说 Translation: I have nothing to say.
律师的建议 Under advice of counsel?
你能怪我吗 You blame me?
Cleary打来 胡言乱语的咆哮着一个 Cleary calls up ranting and raving
我从来都没听说过的一个18岁男孩的事 about an 18-year-old boy I've never heard of.
跟我说如果他的公司完蛋了 Tells me if his company goes down,
我也要跟着一起完蛋 I'm going down with it.
你从未听说过 Roberto Martinez You never heard of Roberto Martinez?
在他死的时候 At the time of his death,
在他的身体里发现了 he was found wearing a pacemaker
你以前为 Barnet 夫人安装的起搏器 you had implanted in a Mrs. Barnet.
Ethel Barnet?
我没法帮你了 I can't help you.
见鬼 大夫 这到底是怎么回事 Oh, what in hell is this, Doctor?
一个病人死了 你们就向鬣狗一样群起而分尸吗 A patient kicks, and you scavenge for parts?
那些学位证书可不是只用来帮你 Now these degrees are supposed to do more
买大奔的 than buy you a Benz.
警官 供你参考 For your information, Detective,
Barnet夫人正好好地活在肖特山呢 Mrs. Barnet is alive and living in Short Hills.
离了她的起搏器还能活 Without her pacemaker?
她已经有一个新的了 这就叫进步 With a new pacemaker. It's called progress.
Alden Little 制药公司 Alden Little Pharmaceuticals came up
发明了新的可编程设备 with a programmable device
更加适合 Barnet 夫人的需求 hat was better suited to Mrs. Barnet's needs.

要是他不知道 而这东西又杀了他呢 If he didn't know, and it killed him?
那就可以算是 漠视人命致人死亡 Could be depraved indifference.
也许卖家的罪名可到二级谋杀 Maybe the seller's guilty of murder two.
不幸的是 Unfortunately,
买家已经不能接受问询了 the purchaser is unavailable for questioning.
但他母亲可以 But the mother isn't.
Roberto出生之前我们只祈祷 Before Roberto was born, we only prayed
他能够健康快乐 that he'd be healthy and happy.
我们的祈祷只应验了一半 Our prayers were half-answered.
我姐姐的孩子比他大两岁 My sister's son was two years older.
Roberto 就穿他剩下的鞋子和背带裤 Roberto wore his shoes and his dungarees.
但是当涉及到我儿子生命健康时 But when it came to my son's health,
我希望用最好的 I wanted the best.
这么说你不知道 So you didn't know
那个起搏器是二手的 that he was getting a used pacemaker?
我们穷 但我们不愚蠢 更不冷漠 We're poor. We're not stupid and uncaring.
Hellems 医生 Dr. Hellems...
杀了我的孩子 Killed Roberto.
Fischel 先生是正确的 Mr. Fischel was right.
是的 但是出于错误的理由 For the wrong reason,yes.
对 我知道 Yes. I knew.
那 这算什么 吃回扣 So, what is it, kickbacks?
Martinez 夫人说你从未告诉她 Mrs. Martinez said you never told her.
她没有医疗保险 没有钱 She had no medical insurance, no money.
我做了我认为最好的 I did what I thought was best.
是啊 你只是一个正常的 史怀哲大夫 Well, you're just a regular Dr. Schweitzer.

是的 有药物 Well, there were always the drugs.
我们已经都试过了 We've been through that.
我做了最符合 I did what was in the best interests
我病人利益的事 of my patient.
但是看上去你做错了 Well, it looks like you did wrong.
那个起搏器不可能会失效 No reason that pacemaker should have failed.
为什么 就凭Suiter那么一说 Why? Because Suiter said so?
因为我亲自检查过 Because I tested it myself.
那个起搏器有5年的使用寿命 That model pacemaker has a life of five years.
电池的有效期 The expiration date on the battery was
距离现在还有3年 three years from now.
我没做错事 I did not do anything wrong.
那为什么我们第一次来时你不说 Then why the sealed lips the first time we came here?
Martinez 夫人的律师 Mrs. Martinez's lawyer
已经开始把我拖上法庭了 had already started to drag me through court.
难道还要我帮他往枪里装子弹吗 Did you want me to put bullets in his gun?
Hellems 知道他买的是什么 Hellems knew what he was buying,
所以 Suiter 是干净的 so Suiter's in the clear.
也许不是 Maybe not.
来 尝一口 Here, you want one?
得了吧 这对你有好处的 Come on, these are very good for you.
不 我还是只吃大自然母亲赐予的 No, I'll stick with what Mother Nature gave me.
这个起搏器有5年寿命 This pacemaker had a life of five years.
先前的那个 Stark 医生 That first cardiologist, Dr. Stark,
说 Barnet 夫人已经用了3年 said it was in Mrs. Barnet for three years.
对啊 Hellems 后来又说 That's right. And Hellems said
当把它装到 Roberto 身体里时 that when he implanted it in Roberto,
起搏器还有3年寿命 it had three years left till expiration.
你的算术怎么样 How's your arithmetic?
我知道在这里三加三等于二级谋杀 I know that three plus three equals murder two.

哦 怪不得那孩子死了 Oh, well, no wonder the kid's dead.
有效期是去年9月 Expiration date, last December.
我看 这是医疗事故 I mean, that's malpractice.
植入它的大夫 The doctor who implanted...
大夫不知道 Didn't know.
那你是说 What do you mean,
Suiter 篡改了有效日期 Suiter changed the expiration date?
我就是这个意思 That's exactly what I mean.
那个愚蠢的混蛋杀了那孩子 That stupid bastard killed the boy.

Eric Bertram法官办公室 5月21日 周四
我们并不否认起搏器 No one is disputing the fact
失灵这个事实 that the pacemaker malfunctioned.
并且我也不否认 And I'm certainly not arguing
这种失灵导致了 Roberto Martinez 的死 that the malfunction didn't cause Roberto Martinez's death.
Suiter 先生篡改了有效日期 Mr. Suiter changed the expiration date.
医生和病人都不知情 Neither the doctor nor the patient were informed.
谢谢你的解说 Ben Thank you for the play-by-play, Ben,
但是你如果看过我发给你的文件 but if you'd read my papers,
你就会发现我所讨论的是因果关系 you'd see I'm talking about cause and effect.
或者说 压根就不存在因果关系 Or rather, the lack thereof.
那孩子死了 The boy died.
但不是因为电池失效 But not because the battery failed.
等等 那个小电池当时是不是好的 Wait, was the gizmo on the fritz or not?
法官大人 请允许我介绍 If I may, Your Honor.
来自食品药品管理局的Kenny夫人 Ms. Kenny's with the FDA.
她检查了案子中涉及的起搏器 She examined the pacemaker in question.
Kenny女士 Ms. Kenny,
任何东西都有失效的那一天 Nothing lasts forever.
我们要求起搏器要注明失效时间 We require expiration dates on pacemakers
来防止电池过度使用 to prevent overuse of batteries.
在现实生活中 这个打着鼓的小兔子 In real life, that little rabbit with the drum
最终会不能工作的 eventually goes kaput.
请继续 Adler夫人 Please, Ms. Adler.
设备上的日期只是标明电池寿命 The date on the device earmarks battery life
并无其他信息 and nothing else.
你到底想说什么 Is there a point to this?
是的 Martinez的起搏器失灵了 Mr. Martinez's pacemaker failed, yes,
但不是因为电池没电了 but not because the battery was dead.
而是因为导线 It failed because the leads,
包围在心脏上的电线 the wires that get woven into the heart,
被腐蚀了 were corroded.
电池送出了合适的电流 The battery sent the proper current.
但心脏根本就无法收到 The heart never received it.
这种腐蚀情况 This corrosion,
有可能是回收利用过程造成的吗 could it have been the result of the recycling?
不 不 No, no.
Suiter先生 本应该发现 Mr. Suiter should have seen
电线腐蚀的问题 that those leads were corroded.
Stone先生 这不是汽车电池 This isn't a car battery, Mr. Stone.
这些是非常精细的导线 These are very delicate wires.
有时候腐蚀用肉眼就能观察出来 Sometimes corrosion is evident on visual inspection,
但是这种用于特殊装置上的电线 but with this particular device,
需要做导电性检测才能检查出来 you would have to run conductivity tests.
那么如果他没有做这种检测 And if he didn't run those tests,
就是鲁莽危害他人安全 then he was reckless.
我调查了这个行业 I've surveyed the industry.
没有一家生产商在一般生产程序中 Not one manufacturer runs conductivity tests
有导电性检测工序 in the normal course of business.
等一下 Wait a minute.
这个东西在Barnet那个女人身体里 This thing worked for three years
工作了3年 in the Barnet woman?
这什么也说明不了 That is no indication.
当受腐蚀的导线失效时 When a corroded lead will malfunction
那就是一棒子打死的事 is at best a crap-shoot.
底线是 The bottom line is
我的当事人的行为与 Roberto 之死之间 my client's behavior was not
没有因果联系 the cause-in-fact of Roberto's death.
他篡改了有效日期 He changed the dates.
那我们承认欺诈罪 So we'll plead to fraud.
法官大人 再给我点时间 Your Honor, given some time...
放弃吧 Ben Give it up, Ben.
FDA的话当然可信 You can't fight with the FDA
我撤销 I'm dismissing
谋杀指控 with respect to the murder charges.
再找到其他证据 You come up with something else,
随时再来起诉 feel free to re-indict.
他就这样拿人的心脏当儿戏 He's playing three-card Monte with people's hearts,
我们顶多能告他欺诈罪 and the best we can do is fraud.
Suiter会达成认罪协议 Suiter is going to enter a guilty plea.
碰到个宽大的法官 顶多判两年了 A lenient judge, two years, tops.
我们得专家也证实了食品药品管理委员会的说法 Our expert confirmed the FDA's findings.
导线的腐蚀和回收循环过程无关 The corrosion was unrelated to the recycling.
那现在就是说这些导线的受损 Yeah. Now, are you saying that these wires
是从一开始就有的咯 were bad to begin with?
没办法证明了 No way of telling.
我明白了 I see.
好吧 如果这是生产缺陷 Well, if it was a manufacturing defect,
如果起搏器在售出时 if the pacemaker was originally sold
就已带有存在缺陷的导线 with defective leads,
那我们就可以起诉BioNorm公司了 we just might have a case against BioNorm.
民事官司 A civil case.
一个坏苹果 We've got one bad apple.
最多也只能算是过失罪 At most, it's negligence.
不见得 Not necessarily.
我们知道BioNorm公司和解了至少6起投诉 We know that BioNorm settled at least six other suits.
去查查这几个苹果里是不是也有腐蚀的导线 Find out if those other apples had corroded wires.

他就是 BioNorm 公司 His name was BioNorm.
很抱歉 但是我不可能 I'm sorry, but there is no way
把到手的王子变回青蛙 that I'm going to turn back into being a frog.
你们和解协议中的一部分 Part of your settlement was
就是同意对此事进行保密 a non-disclosure agreement?
是 Uh-huh.
我闭嘴 就能保住这一切 I keep quiet, I keep all this.
你们协议的条款可能掩盖了一桩罪案 The terms of your settlement may be covering up a crime.
那你要以妨碍司法逮捕我吗 So you're going to arrest me for obstruction?
我和一位检察官交往过3年 I dated an attorney for three years.
听着 我只知道 Look, all I know
我父亲的起搏器停止了工作 is that my dad's pacemaker didn't work.
我甚至不知道 导线 是个什么东西 I don't even know what a lead is.
你父亲死了 但你却一点都不关心 这是为什么 Your father died, and you didn't care why?
我爸可不是什么好人 好吧 My dad was no hero, okay?

这是给你的 This just came in for you.
和6个家庭都谈过了 Talked to all six families.
所有的这些起搏器 All the pacemakers were purchased
都是差不多同一时间购买的 around the same time. They all failed.
因为导线腐蚀出问题 Because of corroded leads?
没有人清楚指出原因 Nobody ever pinpointed why.
在有人检查那些装置前 The lawsuits were settled
投诉就已经和解了 before anybody checked them out.
当然啊 所有的律师都是不管案子怎么样 Oh, sure, every good lawyer always files a complaint
先把起诉状交了再说了 before he knows what the case is all about.
BioNorm 公司总共付了两百多万美元的封口费 BioNorm paid almost $2 million in hush money.
实在让人觉得是此地无银三百两 Makes you think they had something to hide.
如果是明知导线有腐蚀 If it was the knowledge of corroded leads
然后还做出漠视人命 then they were acting with depraved indifference
至人死亡行为 to human life,
那就是7宗二级谋杀案啊 and that's seven counts of murder two.
很难证明啊 Tough to prove.
这需要确凿的证据 It's gonna take a smoking gun.
那我们去找 Let's find one.
都是别人产品的零部件 O.P.P. Other people's parts.
我们实际上并不生产任何东西 We don't really manufacture anything.
我们组装 包装 再一股脑地卖出去 We assemble, we package, we market the hell out of it.
导线是从哪里得到的呢 Where do you get the leads?

对 我妈当年是 Yeah, Mum was

她把那称作 美好的往昔时光 That was the good old days, she calls it.
我猜 那一路向上爬的感觉 I guess the, uh, view on the way up the mountain
比站在山顶俯视要更好吧 is a lot better than the view from the top.
她什么时候离开的呢 When did she leave the job?
两三年前吧 A couple or three years ago.
我父亲认为 Dad thought that
她应该好好享受他创造的成果了 she ought to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
我猜想是当我们大力进军医疗科技领域时 My guess is that he thought she was out of her league
他觉得那已经超出了我母亲的能力范围 as soon as we got heavy into medical technology.
你们不是一直在做心率起搏器吗 You didn't always make pacemakers?
我们以前叫Ebbets公司 We used to be called the Ebbets Company.
Ebbets运动场是纽约布鲁克林道奇队体育场

毕业后就进入制造业 Then he graduated, got into manufacturing.
当时最复杂的电子产品 About the most sophisticated product
是像贪睡功能闹钟啦之类的 was, uh, an alarm with a snooze button.
和起搏器真是大相径庭啊 A far cry from pacemakers.
不 不 那全是我父亲的成就 No, no, see, that was all Dad.
他和我妈结婚后 See, uh, he married Mum, moved the company
把公司移到了河对岸 改了名称 across the river, changed the name.

哦 不 看 Uh, no, see, uh,
那时我们还没整批购买零部件 back then we werert buying wholesale.
我没法告诉你究竟是谁生产了那些导线 I can't tell you who manufactured the leads.
我们也是从进口商那里拿到的货 We bought them from an importer
亚太贸易公司 called Asian Pacific Trading.
你们查案的方向错了 Robinette 先生 You're on the wrong track, Mr. Robinette.
我当时是生产线上的技术员 I was a techie on the assembly line.
我亲自检查过所有这些导线 I checked all those leads myself.
我保证 当时一切都是好的 I assure you, everything was fine.

公园大道231号 Alden医药公司 6月8日 周一
我们也许不是最大的 We may not be the biggest,
但是所有的医学期刊 but there isn't one medical journal
都把我们的起搏器评价为最优秀的 that doesn't rate our pacemakers the best.
你们自己生产零部件吗 Do you manufacture your own parts?
当然 只要是核心的 Well, everything essential.
其他的我们就外包出去 The, uh, supporting cast we contract out.
比如导线 Like leads.
我们是高科技公司 干嘛要浪费时间和钱 Yeah, we're high tech. Why waste time and money
去生产小小的电线呢 making little wires, you know?
这个礼拜我们就是从Akron市的供应商买到的 This week we're buying from Boyette in Akron.
4年前 你们和一个亚太贸易公司 Four years ago, you ever do business
做过生意吗 with an Asian Pacific Trading?
一个叫Ziesel的骗子 骗走了我五万美元 A crook named Ziesel. Took me for $50,000.
刚出现的陌生人 出的报价让你无法抗拒 New kid on the block. Prices you could die for.
进口新加坡制造的导线 Imported, uh, leads made in Singapore.
你知道是什么公司生产的那些导线吗啊 You know what company manufactured those leads?
CJL电子 是家不错的公司 CJL Electronics. Usually a good company.
我认为事情是这样的 What I figure happened was, uh,
一船的货运到了美国 a shipload of duds landed stateside
然后以极低的价钱抵给了亚太贸易公司 and they pawned them off on Asian Pacific for very little.
然后Ziesel又想把这些货甩给我 Then Ziesel dumped them on me.
我猜猜看 那些货是受腐蚀的导线 Let me guess. They were corroded.
是的 真空包装都烂了 Yeah, the shrink-wrapping stank.
海上的空气经常能造成这种情况 Sea air will do it every time.
里面大部分都是废品 Most of them were useless.
你有没有使用其中没有腐蚀的导线呢 Did you use the ones that weren't?
那就像是拿着人命 Be like playing Russian roulette
玩俄罗斯轮盘赌一样 我把他们扔了 with people's lives. I tossed them.
我们试着起诉亚太贸易公司 We tried to sue Asian Pacific,
但他们却销声匿迹了 but they were nowhere to be found.
这行业内所有人都知道 And everyone in the business
这批导线是废品吗 knew these leads were defective?
啊 Ziesel 告诉我这就是个千载难逢的买卖 Uh, Ziesel told me it was a one-shot deal.
一整船的电线 One package ship filled with leads,
他因为看得起我才卖给我 and I was the only one worthy of his generosity.
我真是走大运了 城里唯一的傻瓜 Lucky me. The only sucker in town.
不幸的是 你不是唯一的一个 Unfortunately, you weren't.
你是说还有别人也从他那买了 You mean someone else bought them?
更糟糕 有人甚至用了这批导线 Worse. Someone else used them.
5家公司买了这批导线 Five companies bought wire leads
都是从亚太贸易公司进口的 imported by Asian Pacific Trading.
一整船 全是废品 One boatload, all garbage.
这就是个骗局 每个生产商 It was a scam. Each manufacturer
都以为自己是唯一的买家 thought that he was the only one getting the deal.
啊哈 Uh-huh.
但只有 BioNorm 公司 But BioNorm is the only company
使用了 that actually used
这些腐蚀的导线 the corroded wires.
漠视人命至人死亡 Depraved indifference.
把这帮混蛋关起来 Shut the bastards down.
没那么简单 It's not that easy.
你是说 Cleary Are you telling me that Cleary didn't know
不知道这件事情吗 what was going on?
Roger Cleary
只管大局和钱袋子 was all bottom lines and check books.
他甚至都没有去过生产车间 He didn't even set foot on the manufacturing floor.
他老婆是副总裁 Mrs. Cleary was the VP,
但估计她连面包路上的腐蚀电线都没见过 but she wouldn't know a corroded lead from a toaster oven.
肯定有人授权使用了这批电线 Somebody had to authorize their use.
迄今为止我们只能抓他们的儿子 Steven As far as we can tell, it's Steven, the kid.
他是电子工程师 He's an electrical engineer.
他还承认了他做检查把关 He admitted doing the inspection.
只是 在当时他只是一个小技术员而已 Only, at the time, he was just a technician.
算不上是高级管理层的人 Hardly a high managerial agent.
所以 依据法律 So, under the statute,
我们没法起诉整个公司 we can't prosecute the corporation.
儿子认罪 公司没事 Kid takes the blame, the company's insulated.
是啊 有这样挡风的墙 Yeah, if I had a cover like that,
连感冒也不会得 I'd never catch cold.
那么 Steven Cleary 确实造成了 So, Steven Cleary did cause BioNorm
BioNorm 公司的鲁莽行为 to act recklessly.
可是有公司面纱 The corporate veil.
公司法中名词 指公司做为法人凭总资产独立承担行为责任股东 凭出资限额有限承担责任 当公司资不抵债时 法律一般不能要 求股东承担责任 相当于把公司也当做也个人 谁犯错谁承担自 己那部分责任 别人不能帮你承担
那只能保护他们免于承受民事责任 It protects them from civil liability.
但我们可以以刑事罪名起诉 But that doesn't stretch to our side of the street.
我们以二级谋杀罪起诉他吧 So let's indict him for murder two.
你真的觉得是 Steven Cleary Do you think that Steven Cleary
一手造成这件事的吗 acted on his own?
我想把他们家这棵树晃一晃 Well, I'm gonna shake the family tree,

你真的认为 Now, do you actually think
他有权利指挥公司 that he had the authority to cause
做什么事情吗 the corporation to do anything?
他批准了那些报废导线的使用 He okayed the use of defective wires.
7个人死了 Seven people died.

自言自语就不要发出声来了 律师先生 Keep the meditations to a minimum, Counselor.
反对有效 Sustained.
我问完了 No more questions.
我们进入起搏器行业 We've been in the pacemaker business
已经超过20年了 for over 20 years.
这家亚太贸易公司 This Asian Pacific Trading comes along
向我们推销电线 and offers to sell us wire leads
他们开出的价格只有别家的四分之一 at a quarter of the price of our usual supplier.
那我又能怎么办呢 Well, what can I say?
我当然买下来了 Of course, I bought them.
你把这些电线 Uh, did you use
用到你的起搏器中了吗 these wire leads in your pacemakers?
不可能 这些货一卸船 No way. They come off the boat,
我自己就能看出来有一半都已经腐蚀了 I can see myself that half of them are corroded.
而且我也已经60岁了 And I haven't been 20 l 20 for 20 years.
那剩下的那一半你用了吗 But did you use the other half?
绝对没有 Absolutely not.
那些东西是垃圾 就应该被扔到垃圾堆里去 The components were garbage, and that's where they went.
那岂不太浪费了 Wasn't that expensive?
我们是做医疗行业的 Well, we're in the medical business.
我们不会为了抢市场份额就去害人命 Market share's not won'th killing people.
你的市场份额怎么样 How does your market share
和BioNorm公司比吗 compare to that of BioNorm's?
他们的在增长 我们的没有 Theirs is growing. Ours isn't.
你能解释下原因吗 Would you explain that?
进货便宜 卖的就便宜 You buy cheap, you sell cheap.
他们和我们打价格战有年头了 They've been undercutting our prices for years.
谢谢 Thank you.
Miller 先生 I suppose you read
我想你是读医学期刊的吧 the medical journals, Mr. Miller?
是的 Yes.
你可否有独到哪篇文章 Now, have you ever read an article questioning
质疑BioNorm公司产品质量的 the quality of BioNorm's products?
没有 No.
没有 那你有没有任何一手资料 No. Do you have any first-hand knowledge
表明BioNorm公司的仪器有过失效情况呢 of any of BioNorm's instruments malfunctioning?
除了本案 没有 Other than this one, no.
没有 那么 先生 No. So perhaps, sir,
之所以 BioNorm 公司有更好的市场份额 BioNorm has a better market share
会不会是因为他们更加有吸引力呢 because BioNorm builds a better mousetrap.
直到1988年夏天 I was purchasing agent for BioNorm Industries
我都是BioNorm公司的采购主管 until the summer of 1988.
那时你负责为公司 Then you were responsible for purchasing
从亚太贸易公司 wire leads for BioNorm
采购电线 from the Asian Pacific Trading Company,
是这样吗 is that correct?
这过去很久了 It's been a long time.
你认识这份文件吗 Do you recognize this document?
这是采购500份电线的采购指令 Lt-it's a purchase order for 500 gross of wire leads
从亚太公司贸易采购 from Asian Pacific Trading.
这是你的签字吗 Is that your signature?
是的 Yes.
法官大人 我请求允许 I move to have this
该文件作为证据保留 admitted into evidence, Your Honor.
登记为 公诉方17号 Call it "People's 17."
Cleary 夫人 你有检查过那些 Mrs. Cleary, did you inspect the wire leads
你们公司从亚太公司购买的电线吗 that BioNorm purchased from Asian Pacific Trading Company?
我只核对过数量 Only to determine if the quantity was correct.
别的就不知道了 Anything more, I wouldn't know.
谢谢 Thank you.
我们的产品是市场上最好的 Our products are the best on the market.
和解协议只是一个商业手段 The settlement offer was a business decision,
非常简单 pure and simple.
把一个麻烦消灭在萌芽阶段是最划算的 It's more cost-effective to nip a nuisance suit in the bud.
一个麻烦 A nuisance?
因为你们公司的劣质零件 A boy died
一个孩子死了 because your company used defective components,
而你却把这叫做一个麻烦 and you call it a nuisance?
我原先并不知道这些 I didn't know anything about that.
你亲自检查过这些电线没有 Did you personally inspect the leads, sir?
那不是我的专业范围 Well, it's not my area of expertise.
你雇人做这项工作了吗 You hired someone to do it?
是的 That's right.
你雇的谁检查 Whom did you hire to inspect the leads
从亚太贸易公司买进的电线 purchased from Asian Pacific Trading Company?
没门 先生 No, sir.
你别幻想我会帮你定我孩子的罪 No way you get me to help you convict my own son.
不好意思 先生 我想你已经指证了 Excuse me, sir, I think you just did.
反对 Objection.
我非常仔细的检查了那些电线 I inspected the leads very carefully
挑出那些坏了的 in order to weed out the bad ones.
你觉得你的专业资质 And you feel you have sufficient expertise
够区分出电线好坏吗 to distinguish good leads from bad?
我是电子工程师 I'm an electrical engineer.
我一辈子都在和电线打交道 I've been dealing with wires my whole life.
你的电子工程师学位 Your degree in electrical engineering
是麻省理工大学授予的吗 is from MIT, isn't that right?
从我出生起我父母就开始 My parents started contributing
为校友基金会捐赠 to the alumni fund the day I was born.
就是凭着这样的专业资质和非常严谨的检查 And even with this expertise and a very careful inspection,
仍然还是有一根坏了的导线漏网了 a single bad wire got through.
是的 我很抱歉 对不起 Yeah, I'm... I'm sorry. I...
我 你知道 我尽了全力 I, you know, I did my best.
我尽了全力 L... I did everything that...
我不知道这一切是怎么发生的 I have no idea how this happened.
Cleary 先生 就一根坏的导线吗 A single bad wire, Mr. Cleary?
那另外六根... What about the six other...
反对 Objection!
法官大人 能近一步说话吗 Your Honor, may we approach?
法官大人 同期生产的另外六个起搏器 Your Honor, six other pacemakers
都失效了 manufactured at the same time all failed.
你没有证据证明这一点 You have no proof of that.
在可以进行调查之前 They settled those cases
他们就已经达成了和解协议 before anyone could find out what happened
如果陪审团能够知道这些... and if the jury knew this...
那他们就会产生偏见 They'd be prejudiced.
辩方反对有效 Defense objection is sustained.
Berkley很强 Berkley's good.
强到能说服陪审团 Good enough to convince the jury
这只是一个孤立事件 it was an isolated mistake.
Steven Cleary 只是疏忽而不是犯罪 Steven Cleary looks negligent, not criminal.
Steven Cleary的行为实际上就是犯罪 What Steven Cleary did was criminal.
他为什么这么做... Why he did it...
他可以为了他老子下地狱 He can go to hell and back for his father,
但我不确定他老子也能为他这样做 but I'm not so sure the reverse is true.
很不幸的 受审的不是Roger Cleary Unfortunately, Roger Cleary is not on trial.
也许不是那么不幸 Maybe it's not so unfortunate.
Steven说 从他出生起他父母就开始 Steven said his parents started contributing
向麻省理工的校友会进行募捐了 to the MIT alumni fund the day he was born.
但他还说他老爸上的是城市大学夜校 But he also said his father went to City College at night.
有其母必有其子 Like mother, like son, huh?
正是 Exactly.
把Steven Cleary找过来 Get Steven Cleary in here.
好吧 就算她上过麻省理工又怎么样 Well, so what if she did go to MIT?
这和这案子一点关系都没有 It has nothing to do with your case.
是这些案子 You mean "cases."
Cleary夫人 有电子工程的理学学士证书 Mrs. Cleary has a B.S. In electrical engineering.
这绝对让她有资格对电线进行检查 It certainly qualifies her to inspect wire leads.
她又是副总裁 She's a Vice President
有权授权使用这些电线 capable of authorizing their use.
我们要起诉你们公司(已证明高层涉足此事) We're going after the corporation
和你母亲 and your mother.
既然你们这么有把握 还叫我们来干嘛呢 Well, if you're so confident, why are we here?
Steven 我们知道是你母亲把你拖进这一切的 Steven, we know your mother put you up to this.
如果你指证她 我们之间好商量 If you testify against her, we can work something out.
Steven 我们走 Steven, let's go.
明天你母亲一到法院 I'll have your mother arrested
我就让人逮捕她 when she arrives at the courthouse.
Steven 有人死了 People have died, Steven.
我知道你杀他们时 I know you didn't look them in the eye
并没有看他们 但他们确实死了 when you killed them, but they're just as dead.
Ben.
你干嘛要为她背这么大黑锅 Why are you taking the fall for her?
听着 我母亲 Look, my mother...
得了 Steven Steven, come on.
好的 Okay.
你会指证你母亲吗 You'll testify against her?
不 我想要为我和我母亲达成协议 No, I want a deal for me and my mother.
我会指证我父亲 I'll testify against my father.
我们花了好几天来把坏了的电线拣出来 We spent days sorting out all the bad ones.
你和你母亲 You and your mother?
我们以为都拣出来了 We thought we got them all.
在死了第一个人之后 After the first person died,
我们对仓库里剩下的导线 we ran conductivity tests
做了导电性检测 on all the pacemakers remaining in stock.
发现很多我们认为是好的电线 A lot of the wire leads
其实是坏的 that we thought were good, werert.
我们 求我父亲召回所有 We... we begged my father to recall all the pacemakers
使用亚太贸易公司导线的起搏器 that used Asian Pacific leads.
他拒绝了 And he refused?
他太忙于建立他的帝国了 He was too busy building an empire.
你知道 我父亲向我保证 You know, my father promised me
所有这些都会过去 that all this would go away.
我会有最好的律师 That I'd have the best lawyers.
他告诉我 这是我应为家族做的 He told me I owed it to the family.
人们就这样心脏上装了个定时炸弹 So, people are walking around
在街上走来走去 with time bombs in their chests.
而且至少有7个应经 爆炸了 And at least seven exploded.
你和他们达成协议了 You cut a deal?
一级非蓄谋杀人罪 他服最低刑期 Man one. He does the minimum.
一级过失杀人罪 Man one...
Adam.
这是他愿意说实话的唯一方法 他供出老妈 It's the only way he'll talk. He turns on the mother,
老妈供出老爸 the mother turns on the father.
只有他的证言一点用也没有 His testimony alone is useless.
他老妈要是不认 我们就都回家睡觉吧 She denies it, we all go home.
她会让他一人扛罪吗 She'll let him take the rap alone?
今夕不同往日啊 Today is different from yesterday.
他说 她知情 He said she had knowledge.
就凭那孩子说她有技术方面相关的知识 Just because the boy says she had technical knowledge,
不能证明她当时知道发生了什么 doesn't mean that she knew what the hell was going on.
辩护律师会跟陪审团说 The lawyer tells the jury,
这孩子为了找替罪羊乱咬好人 the kid is a rat in a trap looking for a scapegoat.
Steven Cleary快撑不住了 Steven Cleary is on the edge.
我们再对他施施压 We push him a little harder.
他这才只是就Roberto Martinez的死亡案 Only he's already got a deal.
达成认罪协议 For the death of Roberto Martinez.
我们手上还有六条命案要处理呢 We still got six other deaths to deal with.
我们明天早上把那孩子和他母亲都叫过来 Let's get the boy and his mother in here tomorrow morning.
这就是胡扯 This is crap.
我没有邀请你 除非你是律师 You werert invited, sir, and unless you're a lawyer,
否则请你闭嘴 I'd appreciate it if you keep quiet.
这是我的家庭 我的事业 This is my family, my business.
你们要是有任何证据的话 If you had any proof,
之前已经起诉他们了 you would have charged them before.
之前我没有Stever的证词 Before, we didn't have Stever's testimony
证明其他五起死亡案件也都是由电线引起的 as to the cause of the other deaths.
五项二级谋杀指控 Five counts of murder two.
每个最少判刑25年 Minimum on each, 25 years.
哦 上帝啊 Oh, my God!
他在虚张声势 He's bluffing.
他想离间我们 He's trying to drive a wedge between us.
Cleary 夫人 我能也将以最高刑 Mrs. Cleary, I can and I will prosecute
起诉你的孩子 your son to the fullest extent of the law.
我现在是在给你机会拯救你的儿子 I'm offering you a chance to salvage your sors life.
我们能打败他们 Annette We can beat this, Annette.
别让他毁了我们 Don't let him destroy us.
四年前 你已经亲手毁了我们了 You did that yourself, Roger, four years ago.
你要是证实了Steven的证词 If you confirm Stevers testimony,
我就和你们俩都达成认罪协议 I can offer you both a deal.
上帝啊 Annette 想想这意味着什么 God, Annette, think of what this means.
我的事业 我所做的所有努力 My business, everything I've worked for.
你的事业 你什么都不是 Your business? You were nothing.
我父亲... My father...
你父亲就是个修电器的 Your father fixed toasters.
他为我工作 He worked for me.
对 爸爸 他为你工作 That's right, Dad. He worked for you.
我们都只是你的牛马 We all worked for you.
所以现在我们都在这儿了 And here we are.
看看你都对我们做了什么吧 Just look what you've done for us.
Cleary 夫人 Mrs. Cleary?
我需要做什么 What do I need to do?
你 You.
你就是不能闭上你那张嘴 You couldn't keep your mouth shut.
只需要坐两年牢 Two years in jail,
出来时你会非常有钱 you could have walked out a wealthy man.
好吧 Stone先生 我是个生意人 All right, Mr. Stone, I'm a businessman.
我以前也做过交易 I've made deals before.
您能提供给我什么协议 What are you offering?
Cleary 先生 我不是商人 I'm not a businessman, Mr. Cleary.
我没有什么协议可以提供给你 I'm offering you nothing.
要是他够聪明认罪的话 If he's smart, he pleads guilty
再求法庭判得宽大点 and begs the court for mercy in sentencing.
六项二级谋杀罪名 法官再宅心仁厚 Six counts of murder two? Even with a lenient judge
他也得死在牢里 还得欠50年的帐 he dies of old age and still owes the state 50 years.
让我惊讶的是 What amazes me is that
他几乎都说服了他儿子替他服25年到终身监禁的刑了 he almost convinced his son to do 25-to-life.
可真是给他儿子好好上了一堂 Must have given him quite a lecture
家庭价值课啊 on family values.
