No Questions Asked

Hold on, I'm coming.
Latte? So I dropped J.
J.
off at his six thirty soccer practice Six thirty am? Uh-huh.
When I suddenly got this craving for a sinfully delicious, outrageously fattening coffee beverage.
- And you didn't want to drink alone right? - I'm sorry I woke you.
No, no, no.
I had to get up in 2 sor 3 hours anyway.
Gimme one of them bad boys.
Hey, not that I don't appreciate the early morning sugar rush and all, but is something wrong? - Am I that obvious? - You're very subtle.
I'm just highly intuitive.
Share.
It's Walt.
Last couple of days he's been not himself.
Not himself How? Short tempered.
Evasive.
I feel I don't know, like like he's keeping something from me.
Maybe he's just in a bad mood.
After I dropped J.
J.
off I went over to his place.
I've got these insurance papers to sign in.
Let me guess.
You stopped first and got him coffee.
It's like a little tradition we have.
I'm drinking a hand-me-down mocha? Well, yes, Very nice.
but that's only because he wasn't there At seven am, Johnny.
Where could he be at seven am? I don't know.
The gym.
Work.
Breakfast.
It probably just slipped his mind you were coming over.
No, I really think fit it's more than that.
I don't get it.
More than what? What, another woman? Come on, Sarah Walt? Our Walt? I've never seen him like this.
I'm telling you there is something going on.
- I want to know what it is.
- Why don't you ask him.
- I'm sure he'll tell you the truth.
- That's what I'm afraid of.
My dad always said, never ask a question you don't want the answer to.
I was kind hoping you could talk to him.
- I don't know.
- He trusts you, If he's in trouble, you could help.
And if there's anything else I need to know I get the added thrill of breaking it to you gently.
Please.
Alright.
I'll go see Walt and see what I can find out.
Just as soon as i finish his coffee.
Thanks.
- Hey Johnny.
- Roscoe.
Is Walt around? Got somebody in his office, but if you want to wait Well Perfect timing.
I guess so.
Gimme a minute.
Roscoe, - this woman.
Who is she? - Alison? - She's Jeremy Roberts' widow.
- Jeremy Roberts? Cop from over in Newport.
He was killed by ten years ago.
Real shame.
- What's up John? - Not much.
- Just wondering if you wanted to grab some lunch later.
- Something on your mind? No, just felt like catching up with you.
Friend-like.
- How's it going? - Good, except that I'm kind of underwater here, so do you think maybe we could do lunch another time? Right.
Yeah, I'll let you get back what you're doing here.
Boss, can you sign these overtime vouchers? Yeah Leave Alison alone! Son of a bitch.
- You alright? - Yeah.
I'm fine.
Because you've got the "look.
" Do you see something? I saw you get into a fight with some guy.
Yeah? On a baseball field.
He had dark hair.
Kind of erratic Anything else? That was it.

The Dead Zone - Saison 3 - Episode 6 "No Questions Asked" Traduction par Ronanasplit, Cpt_Lolo et Unknow37 - Hey, Sarah.
- Hi! I thought maybe I'd hear from you by now.
Have you seen Walt? Uh yeah, yeah, I saw him.
And? Johnny? Johnny? Are you there? Yeah.
Listen, don't worry.
I'm sure everything's gonna be okay.
Really? Sure.
We're talking about Walt Bannerman here.
Upstanding.
Forthright.
I mean boy scouts look reckless right? That's him.
Thanks Johnny, you're a good friend.
I do my best.
- I'll call you later.
- Ok.
Will you step down as Sheriff? I have no intention of stepping down.
What if the jury finds you guilty? What kind of informations.
- What the hell are you doing here? - I could ask you the same question.
The situation is under control.
Don't worry about it.
The hell it is.
I'm getting visions of you on trial.
Losing your job.
Now what's going on? Since when do your visions give you the right to spy on me? Your wife came to see me this morning.
She's worried about you.
- So am I.
- Do me a favor, stay out of our lives.
I can handle my own problems.
I have done for a long time before you came along.
Listen, listen, Walt! What? I know we've been through a lot together Maybe too much.
Com'on.
.
Let me help you.
Alright.
That vision you had.
The fight on the baseball field? That was last night.
Who was the guy? An ex-con named Frankie Cantrell.
We had words.
We had a fight, he got in a cheap - and he took my service weapon.
- Did you report it? No! That's exactly the type of humiliation I'm trying to avoid.
Sheriff loses his gun? It's a front page story.
So you figured if you tracked this guy Frankie down, you get your gun back before anyone finds out.
And before he does something crazy.
Only according to your visions I'm not doing such a good job.
- What's this place? - This is his crash pad.
His mom lives in the house.
He hasn't been here since yesterday morning.
I've got no leads on where he could have gone.
I don't get it.
Why all the secrecy? Frankie and I have got a history.
If I bring you into this you might see some things from my past.
Things I thought I'd put behind me a long time ago.
- I can't control what I see.
- I know that.
That's the problem There've been times, Johnny, when you asked me to ignore the law, to ignore my own instincts, and just trust you.
I guess I'm asking for a little of that trust back.
- What do you need me to do? - I need you to help me find my gun.
Anything you might see along the way, no questions asked.
Right.
No questions asked.
Well well, Here it's the little Walter Bannerman.
Hello, Mrs.
Cantrell.
- Who's your friend? - This is John Smith.
- The psychic kid? - Nice to meet you.
- We're looking for Frankie.
- Join the club.
Haven't seen him for days.
- I need to ask you to let me take and look around.
- You've got a warrant? No, I don't.
Suit yourself.
He is not here.
So, what's Frankie done now? I just need to talk to him.
When I picked him up at the prison he was so full of big plans.
- Ma, - I'm gonna buy me a lobster boat.
I'm gonna get us a new house.
I'm gonna go straight.
" A week later, I got cops and psychics on my front door.
I'll start with the upstairs.
Give it back, Walt.
- It's just a cheap piece of plastic.
- Yeah, but still, they gave it to me.
As a joke, Frankie.
- Dude, you got more errors than RBIs.
- Shut up, Jeremy Walt, the game against Portland, didn't I catch that line drive up the center to shut down their rally? Yeah, I guess you did.
That's why they gave me the trophy.
It wasn't a joke.
Right, Alison? - Of course not.
- Ah forget it.
Here.
Com'on Frankie, I'm messing with you, you know that? - We're friends for ever, men.
- I know that.
Didn't your mother every teach you not to touch other people's treasures? Hey John.
I think it's time to keep going.
We're sorry for disturbed you, Mrs.
Cantrell But if you do hear from Frankie, just give us a call okay? Hmm, hmm.
She's a breath of fresh air, huh? You should have seen her when she was young and sassy.
- You get anything in there? - Nothing about your gun But Frankie's more than just some excon.
You guys were friends, right? Right.
No questions.
Where to now? Scene of the crime.
Not a bad place to play ball.
Believe me, it didn't look like this when we were kids.
I heard the City Council voted to fix it up a few years ago, but when I was playing? We had to bring our own cement bags for bases.
Nice.
Had my first kiss in here.
This place is like a second home.
Come here after school, drink a beer, hanging up.
Place has a lot of memories.
Frankie? Yeah.
- et ya ten bucks he misspells his own name.
- Shut up.
Yeah.
You're done, "Fran.
" - Let him finish! - Later, I'm thirsty.
C'mon "Fran," let's go get some beer.
Nothing.
Just No go ahead.
Tell me.
I want to know.
I saw you, Jeremy and Frankie carving your names.
Have good time.
We were tight back then.
Best friends I ever had.
When I got back from Desert Storm, Jeremy Roberts was the first person I called.
Just hearing his voice on the phone.
I knew I was home.
He'd just joined the Newport Police Department.
I didn't even have to ask him for the favor.
He put in a good word and they took me on.
So Jeremy's the reason you became a cop.
Yeah, only I was never supposed to be Sheriffhe was.
Everybody knew it.
Jeremy was going places, But then he was killed.
It was Frankie, wasn't it? Is that why he was in prison? Now you see why I don't wanna talk about this? Come on, I'll show you where we were last night.
I don't know anything about your damn money! I never even saw it.
Don't lie to me! We had a deal! I did my ten years, - you got what, you wanted, now I want what's mine.
- I don't have it! Maybe, maybe I'll go talk to Alison? Leave Alison alone! Son of a bitch! Don't do it Frankie, don't do it.
You get this come back when i'll get my money.
Frankie! What did you see? - I saw Frankie get the gun.
- What else? There was a fight.
It was about money.
Doesn't matter what it was about.
Did you see which way he went? - No.
- Great, that's great.
Guess it's too much to hope for right? Walt, if Alison Roberts has something to do with this Alison has nothing to do with this.
You understand.
Nothing at all.
Bannerman.
Yeah.
I'm on my way.
Get shots fired at a bar, a couple blocks north of here.
Description sounds like Frankie.
- Think it's him? - I don't know.
I hope not.
- This the guy? - Yeah, that's him.
I was unloading a case of Jagermeister back here, he comes in and heads right for the table by the fireplace.
- Starts a beef with two fellas - They are regulars? Yeah, but I don't know their names.
They come in sometimes and conduct a little business.
- Business, huh? Like drugs? - I don't ask.
Anyway, next thing I know, your guy has pulled out a gun, and he keeps hollering "Where is he? He stole my money.
Tell me where he is.
" - Where who is? - I didn't really catch the name.
Don't think they knew him either.
I told him: "put the gun away", When the guy made a move, the thing went off.
move and the thing went off.
And the "businessmen" he was talking to? They ran.
Every customer in the place ran.
I'm losing money hand over fist till you guys clear out.
Where's the slug? Corner post over there.
Thanks.
You scared the crap outta me.
How long it has been going on Frankie? Weeks? Months? - What are you talking about? - How long you benn sleeping with my wife? Does you know where Frankie is? - No.
- Alright, let's go.
Take it with you! - Taking everything we - Walt No,no,no.
.
Stop, listen me, shut up, ok? Listen to me You do exactly as I say.
What did you see? Walt, you can't keep stonewalling me like this.
We had a deal.
You were gonna help me find my gun.
This isn't just about the gun and you know it.
I'm seeing visions of the past for a reason.
You need to tell me exactly what happened to Jeremy Roberts the night he was killed.
- I don't need to tell you anything.
- You agreed to do this.
No questions asked.
I'm trying to help you, but I can't if you keep everything a secret from me.
You've got a lot of freaken balls.
What about your secrets, huh? I'm not the only one with something to hide.
- What are you talking about? - What am I talking about? You want me to spell it out? I'm talking about you and Sarah.
That's right, there's a few questions I could ask you.
Yeah.
That's what i thought.
Not so easy talking about your own mistakes.
Now you know how to feel like for the rest of us One touch and your entire life is ripped wide open.
I'm sick of you having power over me.
And my wife, and my son.
- Walt.
.
what are you talking about? - No! You know what? I think it's time you go home, let me handle my life, my way.
After all it is my future, isn't it? - Hello? - Hey listen, it's me.
Do you have anything of Walt's from his old day as a cop in Newport? I'm not sure.
- Maybe in the attic.
- Just do me a favor - and get out whatever you have, okay? - Okay.
- but what's - I'm my way off.
I found it in the back of the guest room closet.
Johnny, what's going on? Take it with you.
Taking everything we - No, no, Walt.
- Stop! Listen to me! Shut up! We do exactly as I say.
Johnny? Did Walt ever talk to you about Jeremy Roberts' shooting? No, not really.
It happened before I met him.
When he still lived in Newport.
- What did he tell you about it? - Just that one of his friends shot other one in a fight.
But what this have to do with anything that's happening now? That advice your dad gave you about not asking questions you don't want to know the answers to Now's a good time to follow it.
Wait a minute.
- We're talking about my husband.
- No, we're talking about a man you've never met.
- Johnny.
.
- And I can't be in the middle anymore You asked me to help Walt.
But if there's something you want to know, talk to him about it.
You're his wife.
Ok.
Ok.
But you are helping him? I'm trying.
How do you think i'll do something like this? I would never something like this to you.
- You want me to trust you? You're a drug dealer! - So are you.
Not anymore.
This partnership is over.
I'm taking what's mine and forgetting I even know you.
You're out of the business.
No no you just can't.
########## Who the hell are you? Take it easy with that.
I'm a friend of Walt's.
- Who are you? - Johnny Smith.
I'm a friend of Walt's.
Oh yeah.
He told me about you.
Said you woke up from a coma and the next thing he know, his life was a mess.
Yeah, that's pretty much what happened.
- He also said you were a good guy.
- I can be.
I was hoping maybe you and I could talk Talk about what? Well for starters, about you giving Walt back his gun.
He could have it back in 2 or 3 days.
I've got some business to attend to.
Frankie, did Walt tell you anything about my abilities? Because i know you didn't do it.
What? Jeremy accused you of sleeping with Alison.
How did you know about that? Things got out of hand.
Jeremy was shot you called Walt for help.
What did he do, flush the drugs? Thanks to him I did ten years for negligent homicide, instead of fifty to life for murder and possession.
And Jeremy got to die a hero, instead of a bad cop in a drug house.
Walt was just trying to help a friend.
Here's your chance to return the favor.
Give me the gun, Frankie I can't do that.
You see, when Walt came over to help me that day, I know he still have the money.
- I had twenty five grand hidden in this place, now it's gone.
- Frankie I need that money to go straight.
I have to find it.
You want to go straight, you could not doing like this.
Don't tell me what I can't do.
- All I want is what's mine! - Comon cop, i don't have his money ! - Last warning.
- Money was my future Vic! Put the gun down, Frankie.
What the hell is with you, man ? Who's Vic? Vic is my old supplier I'm thinking he's taken my cash.
- Did you see Vic with my cash? - No.
I saw you threaten Vic then I saw Walt shoot you.
No, Walt wouldn't do that.
You of all people should know what happens when you push a friend too far.
No, no.
You're wrong.
Come on Walt, pick up Walt, pick up.
"Low Battery" Hi, Mrs.
Roberts ? I'm Johnny Smith.
I'm here looking for Walt.
- He's on his way over - Do you mind if I come in and wait? So, has Walt mentioned me, by any chance? He told me you were friends.
Is that all he told you? He said that you can see things.
Things from people's lives.
That things Yes.
Sometimes.
I'm trying to help Walt, but he won't tell me what I need to know in order to do that.
- Maybe there's nothing left to tell.
- No, I think there is.
I think Walt is keeping a secret in order to protect someone.
I don't know what you're talking about.
The fight between Frankie and your husband.
It was about you.
- Walt said it was about money.
- No Jeremy knew you were having an affair with Frankie.
He went over there to confront him and things got out of hand.
Frankie and I never Alison.
What is this? Jeremy asked me to hold that for him a couple weeks ago.
Said he won it gambling.
Jeremy never won anything.
I can't take this.
You've got two boys to raise.
Just take it.
Don't ask questions.
What about you and me? I don't know.
How did everything get so screwed up? Jeremy got it wrong, didn't he? It wasn't Frankie.
It was you and Walt who were having the affair.
I really think you need to leave.
Alison.
I'm just trying to help.
If you know something, please tell me.
My marriage was falling apart and Walt Walt was there for me, he always been there for me ever since we were kids.
But even after all these years, Walt still looks after me and my sons Hm.
.
- You still love him? - No.
I'm not.
But i'm still cannot wondering "what if?", you know? If I could just go back and change one little thing, my life will be so different That's gonna be him.
Please don't tell him what I told you.
Don't worry.
I can keep a secret.
Hey, you know what john, you've crossed the line.
Walt, don't.
He thinks the money may have been stolen by an old supplier.
Some guy named Vic.
His supplier? - Any idea of who that may be ? - Yeah, I know who he is.
Frankie's old supplier is a used car dealer? About five years ago he went straight.
But not too straight.
This is the place were i saw the vision.
I saw you shoot Frankie inside here.
Somebody help.
- Be careful.
- Always.
Oh thank God here's the cavalry! Stay out of this, Walt! - Give me back my gun, Frank.
- He took my money.
He took the cash and he opened this business.
Walt.
I just wanna buy a lobster boat and start a business.
That's all I'll ever wanted.
You stole that from me! - I don't have it! - Listen to him Frankie.
He did three years for possession, and when he got out his old man staked him for the down payment on this place.
I got loans flying out of my butt.
I'm serious.
I owe every bank in town.
I wish I had stolen your twenty-five grand, 'cus I could use it.
You know what I mean, Sheriff.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Now shut up.
Put the gun on the ground, Frankie.
I don't believe any of you! You've got my money and I want it back! Walt I not let him hurt anybody else over a bag of drug money that's long gone.
- All I want it was mine.
- No No I don't have his money.
- Last warning.
- That money was my future, Vic! - Put the gun down, Frankie.
- I'm not letting this happens.
Get out of the way, John.
Get out of the way ! Listen Frank, I know how you feel.
It's like you had to go through so much bad stuff, you think there should be something good waiting for you when you come up the other side.
I don't like force, Frankie.
Take it from me.
I just wanna be that guy that comes out on top.
I wanna be the guy buying a round of drinks.
The guy driving a nice car.
- I'd like to not be living in a garage.
- You can have all that and heady.
But Frank you have to leave the past where it belongs.
Listen to him, Frankie.
This guy He doesn't have the money.
Frankie.
You have to trust me on this.
- You wanna press charges? - No, no.
I had a little trouble readjusting my first week out too.
But keep a leash on this guy, huh? Let's go Frankie.
- You're not having a good idea in this place.
- No, no, no, I'm over it.
I I gotta know.
You understand, right? - As long as we're all in agreement about this.
- Wherever that money is, that's where it stays.
So, where's the secret hiding place? - Frankie, for crying out loud, it's already gone.
Go where it is.
- Right, right okay.
It's under there.
- Is he doing it? How do you know when he's doing it? - Frankie.
- Let him if you want to live.
- What i say is that just I'm gonna knock box if you're not quiet.
What? You know where it is? Oh, yeah I didn't rip you off.
I was cleaning the apartment, that's all.
I cleaned that covered.
I found a bunch of money.
- Good, ok, my money.
- No, no.
.
nobody's money.
First thing i wanna do, was burn it - Ma, God, tell me - I didn't.
I started thinking about you kids, and how happy you'd all been.
Before everything went so wrong.
I'd never seen such good friends Ok, about the money ? What did you spend it on ? Please tell me you bought stuff that i can sell But my boy, you can't sell.
I can't believe my mother spend my money to fix up an old baseball field.
Enjoy it, Frankie, you paid for it.
Now a whole new generation of kids gets to use it.
I never thought myself as much as a philanthropist.
Can we just put up a plaque or something.
Forget about it, Frankie.
You remain as a staying an anonymous donor.
- So what's your plan? - Searching for job.
Starting tomorrow.
But, it would really help if the County Sheriff was willing to give me a recommendation I'll see what I can do.
I bring you latte and some coffee.
- I just wanted to tell you that.
.
- I've been thinking and I really.
.
You go ahead.
I wanted to apologize for the last few days.
An old friend come in town - A friend? - Yeah, this guy, you know We had some things to work out.
Look Sarah There are things that you don't know about me Things I've done in my life that I've been ashamed to tell you about.
I love you.
And nothing that you could have done in the past is gonna change that.
And I feel the same way about you.
I don't care what happened.
I don't I just need to know one thing.
Is it over? Yes, it's over.
All right.
Good.
it's time we left the past where it belongs, and start concentrating on our future.
Ok.
