00:01:11 I collect goldfish.
00:01:14 I keep them in a small
00:01:17 Other kids my age like dogs,
00:01:20 if they like animals at all,
00:01:24 but for me, it's goldfish.
00:01:26 I understand them,
00:01:28 living underwater
00:01:31 hearing nothing,
00:01:32 just watching things
00:01:38 My name is Clay Pietrysk.
00:01:40 I'm basically
00:01:43 except for the fact
00:01:44 that I've been deaf
00:01:47 and I can't really speak.
00:01:50 Your average teenager,
00:01:53 and the fact that
00:01:55 outside a bar in McKees Rocks
00:01:57 a little over a year ago.
00:02:02 But all of this
00:02:05 All of this is more about
00:02:08 you know
00:02:14 about that time
00:02:20 and the people you meet
00:02:24 [#]
00:02:37 See, my dad was shot once,
00:02:39 in the stomach.
00:02:44 Walter Blount's sister
00:02:48 and hit over the head
00:03:13 After she died,
00:03:15 her killer
00:03:19 When that didn't work,
00:03:21 he left her
00:03:23 half covered
00:03:26 [groaning with effort]
00:05:11 You're up, Walter.
00:05:12 [muffled]: Feeling peckish?
00:05:14 What the cluck?
00:05:16 No. No...
00:05:17 Feeling peckish?
00:05:18 We're egg-cited to serv--
00:05:21 What the cluck?
00:05:26 Chicken, you're an asshole.
00:05:27 Don't say that!
00:05:29 Don't-- don't you say that!
00:05:52 That was
00:05:56 about how
00:05:59 So many times,
00:06:00 extended family
00:06:01 or neglected
00:06:03 in favor of spouses
00:06:06 and your pain is just as real,
00:06:09 just as profound.
00:06:12 Thank you
00:06:13 It was good stuff.
00:06:16 It's good stuff...
00:06:17 do I have to stay
00:06:18 Hush.
00:06:20 Linda Pietrysk
00:06:22 the life
00:06:24 she made
00:06:26 Linda?
00:06:33 I really don't like
00:06:36 in front of people, but...
00:06:39 I know Gloria
00:06:42 and she said
00:06:47 Um...
00:06:53 I went through
00:06:54 and so I'll just start
00:06:56 from when Larry and I first met,
00:07:00 and this is when he went away
00:07:02 to play A-ball out in Oregon.
00:07:05 Baseball didn't work out,
00:07:10 so...
00:07:14 and, uh...
00:07:24 this is, um,
00:07:30 When he was alive,
00:07:31 my dad drank a lot
00:07:37 My dad also had friends
00:07:39 who drank a lot
00:07:42 [gunshot blasts]
00:07:44 One of those friends,
00:07:48 shot my dad
00:07:50 after one of those nights
00:07:52 [siren wails]
00:07:54 People have different versions
00:07:56 No matter what the story,
00:08:00 Mark Jankowski killed my dad.
00:08:02 And this is the last picture
00:08:06 It's, uh...
00:08:09 Mark is in it, the guy who...
00:08:12 but I kept it
00:08:14 because...
00:08:16 well, it's the last one I have.
00:08:22 So...
00:08:23 Thank you, Linda.
00:08:25 I know that was difficult.
00:08:27 Thank you.
00:08:32 Gloria Blount
00:08:33 the reconstruction
00:08:35 for her daughter.
00:08:36 Gloria?
00:08:42 Well, this is, uh,
00:08:44 the book that I made
00:08:47 Most of the pictures
00:08:49 because they were...
00:08:51 they're twins, and...
00:08:55 Walter came
00:08:57 because
00:08:59 He didn't want to come.
00:09:01 Anyway, um...
00:09:04 Annie came first,
00:09:06 and Walter came
00:09:09 It was one of the few times
00:09:12 and, um...
00:09:14 Annie has
00:09:17 named Beth.
00:09:18 She's five.
00:09:22 She's my granddaughter.
00:09:27 She lives with us now.
00:09:31 And Annie was engaged
00:09:34 see, me and Walter
00:09:39 not just the fact that
00:09:43 but the fact that we got stuck
00:09:45 that those people left behind.
00:09:47 Tell me.
00:09:51 No trouble.
00:09:53 What time will you be home?
00:09:57 Okay.
00:10:03 Love you.
00:10:13 There is simply
00:10:15 connecting Tom Friedinger
00:10:18 There's no forensic evidence.
00:10:19 There's no witnesses
00:10:21 nothing,
00:10:23 save for Mr. Friedinger's
00:10:26 an hour before
00:10:28 Yes, he liked to
00:10:30 particularly when she was drunk,
00:10:34 Yes, he gave her presents
00:10:37 and sent her flowers,
00:10:39 but that does not mean
00:10:42 Strong feelings
00:10:45 are not enough evidence
00:10:48 Uh, particularly when
00:10:51 Miss Blount's
00:10:52 and the number of men
00:10:53 in the last few years alone!
00:11:00 Again, your honor,
00:11:01 there simply is
00:11:02 upon which to proceed.
00:11:06 Me and Walter,
00:11:10 We know how it feels
00:11:14 when a new day begins,
00:11:16 and someone
00:11:26 We know how it feels.
00:11:56 People need to have
00:11:58 to keep them close.
00:11:59 Something like a job,
00:12:05 or the wait
00:12:08 for justice...
00:12:10 [gavel bangs]
00:12:11 All rise.
00:12:13 For fairness.
00:12:14 Court is adjourned.
00:12:17 But the wait
00:12:19 Please bring the motion
00:12:21 And after a while,
00:12:22 you can't just watch the story
00:12:26 After a while,
00:12:28 you take the story back.
00:12:33 You're not helping us
00:12:36 The way you sit
00:12:37 and glare
00:12:39 makes Friedinger seem
00:12:41 than he already is.
00:12:42 Sympathetic?
00:12:45 Walter, he's a fat slob
00:12:47 Who's never caught a break
00:12:49 and you know
00:12:51 the evidence we've got
00:12:52 isn't exactly
00:12:53 without the jury
00:12:55 Come to court,
00:12:59 lighten it up,
00:13:00 So, Mrs. Pietrysk...
00:13:01 Hi.
00:13:02 Let some steam off
00:13:04 Jury selection
00:13:05 the better part
00:13:07 Each side
00:13:08 to rule out
00:13:10 any potential
00:13:11 We'll get the right
00:13:13 and we'll
00:13:15 Okay.
00:13:16 Okay?
00:13:18 Hi.
00:13:20 You're Gloria's son,
00:13:22 Yeah.
00:13:23 Walter, right.
00:13:25 Oh, God...
00:13:27 you can't smoke
00:13:32 I'm here for
00:13:35 I heard
00:13:37 That's what the prosecutor
00:13:47 There's a snack machine
00:13:51 in case you get hungry.
00:13:56 Thanks.
00:14:22 [television program plays]
00:14:36 [shootout blares]
00:15:02 'Night.
00:15:03 Love you.
00:15:05 Love you, too, Ma.
00:15:46 Try your cluck
00:15:48 Suck cock, cock.
00:15:52 You shouldn't s--
00:15:54 you shouldn't--
00:15:56 What?
00:15:59 Don't be chicken,
00:16:01 Oh, please.
00:16:16 Most survivors turn
00:16:18 for a kind of emotional support
00:16:21 in their need to see
00:16:23 apprehended, prosecuted,
00:16:26 convicted, and punished.
00:16:28 Unfortunately,
00:16:29 the criminal
00:16:31 exists for society,
00:16:32 not for you
00:16:34 So whatever you believe
00:16:36 the appropriate punishment
00:16:38 will probably not
00:16:41 Even if the killer
00:16:44 it ultimately will not
00:16:50 Okay, that does it
00:16:54 Remember,
00:16:56 for the charity
00:16:58 and this should be
00:16:59 to let go of
00:17:01 you've struggled
00:17:02 as well as a good way
00:17:04 for victims' families.
00:17:07 Good stuff.
00:17:13 Judge Wettick rejected
00:17:16 and for mistrial.
00:17:18 So, we're back to it.
00:17:26 I don't wish
00:17:28 but she drank,
00:17:30 a lot.
00:17:31 She was promiscuous.
00:17:33 She had sexual relations
00:17:36 Consequently,
00:17:38 it gave many men
00:17:40 [quietly]:
00:17:42 She was a person
00:17:43 who put herself
00:17:45 with great frequency.
00:17:46 That's not true.
00:17:48 It has been established
00:17:51 that Miss Blount
00:17:53 who the father of her child is!
00:17:55 What are you saying
00:17:57 Mr. Blount.
00:17:59 He's telling a lie!
00:18:00 Mr. Blount.
00:18:02 He's--
00:18:03 He's lying!
00:18:05 This is your last warning,
00:18:06 But he doesn't know
00:18:09 Mr. Blount...
00:18:10 You're just going to
00:18:11 Mr. Blount...
00:18:12 You are so full of sh--
00:18:15 [voice breaking]:
00:18:37 Walter?
00:18:39 What happened?
00:18:44 This defense attorney
00:18:46 just called
00:18:47 Whore.
00:18:49 Oh, that's
00:18:53 Basically said
00:18:54 she brought it
00:18:58 I'm sorry.
00:19:10 It's not enough that
00:19:15 that human
00:19:18 but to call
00:19:19 into question?
00:19:33 I wonder
00:19:34 if we waited outside
00:19:37 and beat the living shit
00:19:50 I'd never even
00:19:51 before all of this
00:19:54 It's like a...
00:19:57 It's like a foreign
00:19:59 The words they use
00:20:02 it's-- it's...
00:20:04 it's like I got
00:20:05 and got off in some
00:20:08 I'm not
00:20:15 You don't talk much,
00:20:19 I don't know.
00:20:23 Well, so,
00:20:24 before all of this
00:20:28 Wrestling.
00:20:30 Wrestling?
00:20:31 Yeah, um,
00:20:33 training with
00:20:36 and then...
00:20:39 it happens,
00:20:42 and I stayed.
00:20:47 How old are you?
00:20:49 24.
00:20:53 24,
00:20:56 and you want to
00:21:01 I just need to see
00:21:04 [clears throat]
00:21:06 One way or another.
00:21:08 So, what do you do
00:21:10 when you're not
00:21:14 W-what do you mean?
00:21:17 Well, I mean
00:21:18 Do you work?
00:21:21 I'm a chicken.
00:21:26 The, uh...
00:21:27 well, the chicken that stands
00:21:36 Are you the one
00:21:42 [chuckling]: Sorry about that.
00:21:46 It's okay.
00:21:48 Well, you were kind of just
00:21:49 [chuckles]
00:21:51 I'm not very good at it.
00:21:53 The other guy
00:21:55 Jose, he, like,
00:21:57 Right.
00:21:59 And flaps his arms
00:22:00 Right, right, right.
00:22:01 Oh, you're the one
00:22:03 the edge of the window.
00:22:08 The sad chicken.
00:22:17 [sighs]
00:22:19 Well, I work over
00:22:22 I oversee the special events,
00:22:26 I started doing it
00:22:32 I was just kind of
00:22:33 walking around
00:22:37 anyway, my girlfriend,
00:22:40 she's head of human resources
00:22:42 so, you know, that's...
00:22:44 that's how
00:22:50 Do you like it?
00:22:53 The job?
00:22:57 They don't make me wear
00:23:05 No.
00:23:06 Oh, wrestling.
00:23:08 Right.
00:23:12 [#]
00:23:23 # when we were green
00:23:28 # the world took off
00:23:35 # oh, we were picked
00:23:41 # gentle words and modesty #
00:23:47 # when we turned
00:23:52 # choirs screamed
00:23:59 # oh, I am ripe
00:24:04 # my heart is heavy
00:24:10 # out of my body... #
00:24:19 [grunting with effort]
00:24:23 [boys shouting angrily,
00:24:28 [jeering and laughing]
00:24:29 Hey, let's go,
00:24:32 [shouting retreats]
00:24:41 [straining with effort]
00:24:44 Jesus, Walter.
00:24:45 What the hell
00:24:46 I got it.
00:24:47 Jesus Christ, Walter,
00:24:49 pushing all that
00:24:53 [sighs heavily]
00:24:56 Oh, uh, I made
00:24:58 for the weight room.
00:24:59 Lock up
00:25:04 Thank you.
00:25:05 Are you, uh...
00:25:06 you entering
00:25:10 No.
00:25:11 What?
00:25:12 I'm not wrestling
00:25:14 What the hell
00:25:16 are you training
00:25:24 [shouting taunts,
00:25:25 Oh, yeah!
00:25:29 [angry taunts,
00:25:31 [jeering and laughing]
00:25:33 Hey, 'tard!

00:25:35 Hey, you guys better
00:25:37 Come on, you too cool, buddy?
00:25:38 You can't talk to me?
00:25:41 [hoots of laughter]
00:25:42 We got one, boys,
00:25:46 Want to run with me,
00:25:48 Want to run with me?
00:25:50 You too cool to talk
00:25:52 Come on, guy,
00:25:53 You ride the cart into school
00:25:57 In the back
00:25:59 Come on, tough guy.
00:26:00 [almost inaudible]:
00:26:02 Don't just stand there.
00:26:03 You got to talk
00:26:05 What's up?
00:26:07 Let's go, retard.
00:26:08 Are you going to
00:26:09 What, you can't
00:26:11 What are you,
00:26:12 Let's go, buddy.
00:26:13 Do something.
00:26:14 Don't just stand there.
00:26:16 [muted, to Clay's ears]:
00:26:18 I just wanted to know
00:26:23 Hey!
00:26:25 "Special" my ass.
00:26:26 Hey, leave him
00:26:32 [crowd gasps]
00:26:34 Take him out!
00:26:36 [crowd egging them on]
00:26:43 You all right, man?
00:26:44 You all right?
00:26:46 All right,
00:26:47 Hey, he sucker-punched me!
00:26:48 Take it easy.
00:26:57 Hey...
00:26:59 Hey!
00:27:04 I'm Walter.
00:27:06 I know your mother.
00:27:22 Give me the gun.
00:27:27 I'm serious.
00:27:31 The gun.
00:27:37 Give me the gun.
00:27:45 Fucking pulled a gun
00:28:09 [muffled]: Kid starts kind of
00:28:13 He put a pretty good
00:28:14 He, uh,
00:28:23 Shit!
00:28:25 Shit...
00:28:57 [sighs]
00:29:00 I have to talk to him
00:29:02 Will you hang around?
00:29:16 [muffled shouts from basement]
00:29:19 Are you--
00:29:21 No, you can't
00:29:26 I know!
00:29:27 Look at me!
00:29:31 I know.
00:29:32 I know those kids
00:29:37 Clay, you can't--
00:29:40 Clay, look--
00:29:42 Clay...
00:29:50 Would you mind
00:30:07 Why has he got a gun?
00:30:10 [sighs]
00:30:12 It was his father's.
00:30:14 No, what's he doing with it?
00:30:15 I'm not stupid, Walter.
00:30:17 I didn't give him bullets
00:30:23 Forget it.
00:30:24 I have to now.
00:30:26 If he gets kicked out
00:30:28 Fuck!
00:30:29 God, and the trial is starting,
00:30:31 and I don't know
00:30:38 I have to
00:30:50 [gun thuds on table]
00:30:51 Yeah.
00:31:23 Your mom told me you were
00:31:24 so I just waited.
00:31:29 You want to go
00:31:30 or something?
00:31:33 I'm not drinking.
00:31:36 I could probably
00:31:37 over where I'm working
00:31:38 if you wanted to,
00:31:40 Do something
00:31:46 I'm okay.
00:31:49 I told you
00:31:51 about that girl
00:31:52 Uh, yeah.
00:31:53 Grace.
00:31:55 She's pregnant.
00:32:02 I'm going to ask her
00:32:06 Okay.
00:32:08 And I wanted to know if,
00:32:12 maybe you could talk to your mom
00:32:17 You know,
00:32:19 I just thought it might
00:32:22 You know, and I can't afford
00:32:27 But, I mean, if she
00:32:28 I understand.
00:32:50 [#]
00:33:26 I'm going to sell
00:33:28 in the rummage sale,
00:33:30 unless you want 'em.
00:33:33 Have you seen
00:33:35 Check the wash.
00:33:38 Which--
00:33:47 Great, Ma.
00:33:50 Oh.
00:33:51 I let Beth help
00:33:54 Well, now I've got to
00:33:56 and buy another one
00:33:57 Why?
00:33:58 Because chickens
00:33:59 Not pink!
00:34:02 Maybe it's time you thought
00:34:06 Honey, Annie wouldn't want it
00:34:11 What way?
00:34:13 Well, you in a chicken suit
00:34:17 And you sitting
00:34:20 staring at Peggy Friedinger's
00:34:25 How would Annie
00:34:27 She'd probably
00:34:30 I don't know,

01:24:58 How many times?
01:24:59 [cries out]
01:25:00 How many fucking times
01:25:03 hit her?
01:25:05 [coughing and gasping]
01:25:09 [cries out]
01:25:13 It wasn't me!
01:25:16 It wasn't...
01:25:17 [sobbing]:
01:25:18 You used a knife,
01:25:21 and a brick!
01:25:22 And you burnt her body!
01:25:25 No, no, no!
01:25:26 I was the other guy
01:25:28 I was the only one
01:25:31 You killed her!
01:25:33 No, I tried to walk her home
01:25:37 and she wouldn't let me!
01:25:39 And she
01:25:42 [sobbing]:
01:25:48 I was her friend.
01:25:51 I tried!
01:25:54 I was her friend.
01:26:07 I was her friend.
01:26:14 I'm not going to tell anybody
01:26:21 Can I go now, please?
01:26:28 Can I please
01:26:32 [coughing and sobbing]
01:26:44 Clay.
01:26:46 What are you doing?
01:26:50 Go home.
01:26:54 [muted]: Go home, Clay.
01:26:58 Go home!
01:27:03 Go! Go!

01:28:23 [groaning]
01:28:24 [gasps]
01:28:36 The Judge ruled these
01:28:39 but we interviewed
01:28:42 and they all
01:28:47 well...
01:28:49 you know.
01:29:00 There wasn't much of a case
01:29:06 I'm sorry, Mr. Blount.
01:29:38 Walter?
01:29:49 Walter?
01:29:58 [sobbing]
01:30:01 What?
01:30:02 He didn't do it.
01:30:04 What?
01:30:05 He didn't do it.
01:30:11 He was trying
01:30:14 I'm sorry.
01:30:17 He was doing
01:30:18 what I should have
01:30:21 I should have been there,
01:30:22 No.
01:30:23 And so all she had
01:30:25 was someone like that,
01:30:26 Shh... No, no.
01:30:28 Shh...
01:30:30 [sobbing]:
01:30:32 It's okay, it's okay.
01:30:36 Let me take care of you.
01:30:38 Let me help you.
01:30:40 Okay?
01:30:42 Let me love you.
01:30:46 What are we, really?
01:30:48 What?
01:30:49 What are we?
01:30:52 To each other?
01:30:54 We're just
01:30:56 Walter, stop.
01:30:59 You have your conviction.
01:31:00 What do I have?
01:31:02 I have nothing.
01:31:03 I have this.
01:31:04 I'm a fucking

01:31:11 I'm not going to
01:31:12 And I'm not going to
01:31:13 I'm not--
01:31:20 I'm going back to Iowa.
01:31:25 I can't...
01:31:28 I can't be here anymore.
01:31:48 I'm sorry.
01:32:26 Hey...
01:32:27 You know,
01:32:31 I asked Grammy
01:32:32 if I could have
01:32:33 Because I didn't want
01:32:36 with a girl anymore.
01:32:41 Your mom was
01:32:44 She used to sneak down
01:32:47 and crawl into my bed
01:32:54 Just like you.
01:32:59 So that's why Grammy
01:33:03 to keep her company
01:33:09 It would make her
01:33:15 So...
01:33:18 I think it's time
01:33:24 Hey...
01:33:26 It's for you.
01:33:46 I don't know
01:33:48 I can't...
01:33:58 "Man?"
01:33:59 Is this about that man?
01:34:07 I don't know.
01:34:10 I don't know anymore.
01:34:22 It's the key to the weight room.
01:34:25 Coach Partenheimer says
01:34:27 he thinks you'll
01:34:29 If you keep at it,
01:34:30 he thinks you might
01:34:38 you'll be all right.
01:35:14 I have to work tonight.
01:35:18 Please...
01:35:20 Stay home.
01:35:21 Please.
01:35:28 Love you.

01:35:36 [murmur of vows]
01:36:23 Hey...
01:36:24 Hey.
01:36:31 I've spent my entire life...
01:36:35 waiting.
01:36:37 [sniffles]
01:36:40 Thinking...
01:36:43 I didn't deserve
01:36:47 my husband and his drinking,
01:36:49 my son,
01:36:52 my life on the South Side.
01:36:58 You know what?
01:37:01 I like it here.
01:37:05 I love the grey sky,
01:37:08 and the old buildings,
01:37:10 and the smells
01:37:12 coming from the houses
01:37:14 and the stores, and...
01:37:20 I love raising my son here,
01:37:25 And I love being with you.
01:37:33 I'm sorry I'm so sad.
01:37:37 It's just that I know,
01:37:41 if you would let me, I...
01:37:44 I could take good care of you.
01:37:48 And I know if you wanted to,
01:37:49 you'd be good to me and Clay.
01:37:54 I know you would
01:38:11 I just had to...
01:38:14 before you leave...
01:38:17 tell you how I felt.
01:38:22 Nothing more.
01:38:32 Nothing more.
01:38:46 # oh, the beauty of things #
01:38:52 # you never consider #
01:38:55 # like walking at night

01:39:12 # a dark stormy night #
01:39:18 # the lack of light #
01:39:20 # consumes me sipping #
01:39:27 # a dribble
01:39:33 [Clay]: I guess
01:39:35 this is all about the things
01:39:39 The gun,
01:39:41 the music box,
01:39:43 the key to the weight room.
01:39:48 They keep us all holding on.
01:39:51 and maybe, in their own way,
01:39:53 these souvenirs
01:39:55 what to do with them...
01:39:59 # I want to hear you

01:40:21 And after a while,
01:40:23 you can't just watch the story
01:40:31 After a while,
01:40:33 you take the story back.
01:40:36 Linda...
01:40:37 Linda.
01:40:39 I made a mistake.
01:40:41 Clay's not here.
01:40:42 He took his gun.
01:40:44 I have no idea
01:40:45 It's okay.
01:40:48 I got it.
01:40:51 # and if you take

01:43:54 Good job.
01:43:57 Love you.
01:43:59 I love you, Mom.
01:44:02 But all of this
01:44:08 all of this is more about

01:44:20 About that time spent
01:44:26 and the people you meet
01:44:30 in the waiting room.
