Spenser Confidential

Mr. Spenser, are you prepared to tell the court, in your own words,

what happened on the afternoon of March 20th?

Yes, Your Honor.

Please proceed.

I had my partner drive me to the home of Captain John Boylan.

Your commanding officer?

That's right.

I had prior reason to believe

that Captain Boylan was intentionally burying

the murder investigation of Gloria Weisnewski...

Mr. Spenser, please focus on the events that transpired

- on the afternoon of March 20th. -

I confronted Captain Boylan in his home

and attempted to question him about the investigation.

The hell are you doing here?

And the ensuing argument...

Can't wait outside the front door?

I mean, everybody knows what happened.

Get out of our house!

Hey! Get out of here. Get the fuck out of our house...

At all times, I knew that these actions were in violation of the law

and the code of conduct that I swore to obey as a Boston police officer.

So, it is my understanding that you are pleading guilty

to the charge of disturbing the peace?

Yes, Your Honor.

How do you plead on the count of harassment in the first degree?

- Get off him! - Guilty.

And how do you plead on the count of aggravated assault of a police officer?

Guilty.

Before I sentence you,

is there anything further that you would like to add?

Yes. The son of a bitch deserved it.

What do you say, Spense?

- Hey, Squeeb. -

Hey, new little fun fact for you.

You know, Saguaro cactus lives for over 150 years?

Now, you cut one down in Arizona,

you can do a year in prison. Imagine that?

Shit.

I know guys that rob people in here

- doin' less time than that. - Right?

How does it feel gettin' out?

I haven't slept in a few nights. But other than that...

How you doin', Squeeb? How you feelin'?

I feel like a lifer.

You know, a lot of guys feel that way.

But you're different.

How many cops get to do their time in gen pop?

Zero.

I can't think of one.

But, I mean, that's probably why you're so popular in here.

I'm popular? Wow, I had no idea.

What're you gonna do when you get out?

Back in the real world?

Yeah. Go to Fenway Park,

you know, get a big-ass, juicy rib eye.

You got a girl, right?

I got a girl. Her name is Pearl.

Yeah, I'm probably just gonna lay down in my bed

and let her lick me all over.

Pearl. Sounds like an old lady's name, no?

You know, she's a little older. She makes up for it in loyalty.

'Sup, bookworm?

Not much.

How's Aryan Nation treatin' everybody?

State of the Union still strong?

You know, we just wanna let you know how important it is

that you're gettin' out of Boston and never comin' back,

drivin' a truck or doin' whatever the hell you're doin'.

Yeah, we have a little, uh, goin' away message for you.

For me?

Well, can't be from the guys in here.

They like me, right?

So, who's sending the message?

Fuck 'em up, Spenser.

All right, come on.

Did you just kick me, bro?

Fuck!

Get the fuck outta Boston!

Why you gotta kick me, bro?

Who sent the message?

Come on, man.

All right, all right, hold on!

Spense.

Shit.

Got ya.

You're lucky it was self-defense, Spenser.

Put your hand through.

Your fingerprints are the only unique thing about you, shitbag.

Seriously? You said that five years ago when I got here.

Why don't you get some new material?

- I'll see you in about a month or less. - Have a nice day.

Hey, you wanna do me a favor when you start that truck driving class?

Tell my Aunt Betty I said, "Go fuck your sister."

You got a very weird family, don't you, Lenny?

Hey! You made it.

- Nice out here, huh? -

Take a minute, enjoy it.

Try and stay on this side for a while.

Wow. Riviera hasn't aged a day. You gonna let me drive?

You remember how?

Oh, shit! Get in the car! Hurry up!

- Why? What's up? Why? - Come on, I don't want her to see me.

Hurry up! Come on, let's go!

What are you doing? She drove all this way to see you.

Five years in prison?

- Hey! -

Why can't you just stay out of other people's businesses, huh?

How do you like that?

I love you!

I love you so fuckin' much!

Shit.

Can't park there, ma'am.

Get down!

- Oh, the other side. - What are we doin'? You...

Shut up! I'm not ready to see her yet.

You know, she came all this way to see you.

Henry, I'm just not ready.

Heart made of granite 'cause I find out from someone at the car wash

that he got out of prison today?

- Ma'am, I can't help you with that. - No?

You really gotta move your car.

All right, Shawshank. I'll move my fuckin' car.

Fuck!

I'm gonna kill him.

Back in the day, my old man bought this place for 8,000 bucks.

Now it's worth $1,500,000 per floor.

Sell it, live the dream. Come to Arizona with me.

Nah. My dream is to die in my bed, right here.

- - Spenser!

What's up, Driscoll?

- Spenser. Come here. - What's up?

I'm sorry I couldn't visit you more at Walpole, brother.

Look, I'm glad you came up.

And I really appreciate you sendin' me the books. It's all good.

I brought you a gift.

- Donuts? - I wanna keep you on your toes.

- Hey. -

Impressive how you did your time.

As a former police officer,

I was very, very popular in there. That's for sure.

Man. So, what's next? That's the big question.

Look, I'm gettin outta here, you know?

There ain't shit for me here. I'm gonna drive a semi, you know?

Look at sunsets. Shit like that.

Ah, maybe it's for the best.

There's still a lot of cops around here who'd love to put a mark on you.

Well, I get in a hassle, I know who to call.

That's fuckin' right.

All right, man, welcome home, brother.

I love you. Nice to see you, brother.

How you doin' today, Mr. Cimoli?

I'm good.

- Say hi to Irene and the boys. - You got it.

Let's go see your girlfriend.

Pearl.

Pearly, baby. Hey.

Pearly.

Henry, she won't even look at me.

She gave me the cold shoulder.

Baby, I'm sorry that I was gone. I know five years is way too long.

Thirty-five years from her perspective.

No more cold winters for you.

You're gonna keep your little paws in the desert,

you're gonna chase little bunny rabbits in the sand. Huh?

There's no bunny rabbits in Arizona.

They got snakes and scorpions. She wouldn't last a week.

You gotta shut the fuck up, okay?

I'm just tryin' to have a moment here

and apologize for my absence to my baby girl.

We're gonna go to Arizona, all right?

I'm gonna drive a truck and I'm never gonna let you go.

I'll have one hand on the wheel and the other hand on you.

We'll put a little bed right beside my chair.

- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. -

Baby, you got the breath.

Didn't I tell you to buy the Greenies?

You didn't get her the dog biscuits for her breath?

Uh, I'm going inside.

Hey, thank you for my very own room.
