[man 2] So what do you think, Joe?
[scoffs]
I dont know.
I dont think thats for me to say.
A second chance?
I mean, its a nice idea, but...
But?
- How do you feel?
- Feel?
I feel that I was a nightmare.
I made terrible choices.
I hurt people.
I didnt mean to, but there it is.
And for all that...
theres a hole inside me now.
It hurts. I carry it.
Like Phil Coakley hurts?
Of course not.
But I know the work Ive done.
Youve seen that.
Yeah.
- Yeah. I have.
- Right.
I got almost six years.
Thats real.
Thats clarity.
I cant do anything about before.
Thats done.
But I can show people Ive changed.
Like with my behavior.
And my girls.
And thats what you want?
Thats all there is.
A second chance.
Why not?
I have faith in you, Joe.
- Thank you, Morris.

Coffee?
Id say its good to see you again,
but I feel sick just being this close.
- Nice to see you too, Dan.
- Lieutenant Pleasant.
Dont you dare use the informal with me,
you f***ing degenerate.
Youre an everlasting disgrace
to this department,
and if Officer Barnett wasnt here,
I would tune you up myself
on general principle.
Let me ask you something.
Did Manny Vassey or any of his animals
visit you inside?
Was it worth it,
selling your soul to them?
You Judas f***.
Wheres the DA?
