Okay, guys, let's go.
Come on.
711
00:29:50,939 --> 00:29:53,385
Now, you guys remember
when we threw Grandpa
712
00:29:53,539 --> 00:29:56,270
a surprise party for his birthday
and we all had to keep the secret?
713
00:29:56,379 --> 00:29:57,301
Yeah.
714
00:29:57,459 --> 00:29:59,223
Okay. Why do we
have to keep the secret?
715
00:29:59,379 --> 00:30:00,460
To make Grandpa happy.
716
00:30:00,579 --> 00:30:02,388
Right.
So this is like that, okay?
717
00:30:02,499 --> 00:30:05,787
We don't tell anyone about the doughnuts
to make Mommy happy.
718

Uh, why don't you guys go sit
on the bench over there, okay?

Hello.
730
00:30:39,939 --> 00:30:41,987
I kept them out of school today
so we could be together
731
00:30:42,099 --> 00:30:44,067
because I go to prison tomorrow.
732
00:30:45,659 --> 00:30:47,149
How do you live with yourself?
733
00:30:48,299 --> 00:30:49,744
- How?
- Yeah.
734
00:30:51,219 --> 00:30:52,220
I think long and hard
735
00:30:52,339 --> 00:30:56,549
before any prosecution
in my office goes forward.
736
00:30:56,659 --> 00:31:00,141
And I'm proudest of the cases
I choose not to prosecute.
737
00:31:00,259 --> 00:31:03,706
But when I go forward, it's full guns.
738
00:31:03,859 --> 00:31:06,260

739
00:31:06,379 --> 00:31:08,780
And who got hurt?
740
00:31:08,899 --> 00:31:09,741
No one.
741
00:31:09,859 --> 00:31:10,781
You could have let it go.
742
00:31:10,899 --> 00:31:11,900
You committed mail fraud.

00:31:12,019 --> 00:31:15,341
And you knew that my wife had died...

You read the articles.

that I was and would be again.

for four years.
