Kids take naps.

You ever take a nap, Rosen?

I don't wanna talk about this.

What the hell are you doin' back there?

Did you and your sister

often take naps...

I want you back in your chair. Now!

I'm sorry.

I don't like nobody behind my back.

Walter, what did you do

while taking naps with your sister?

Nothin'.

Did you touch her?

Did you take her clothes off?

- You take your clothes off?

- This is bullshit.

I'm only asking questions.

All right. I'm gonna tell you

just to shut you up.

I smelled her hair.

What else?

Nothin'.

That's it.

I just liked smellin' her hair.

You felt pleasure?

Yes.

- Did you get an erection?

- I was six years old.

I meant later,

when you two took naps...

when the two of you

held each other...

when you were 10 or 11,

and she was eight or nine...

when the two of you

were all alone...

completely alone in that big house.

It was a small house.

All right. A small house...

with small rooms.

I smelled her hair.

That's all.

I just liked smellin' her hair.

Hi.

Hello.

What are you looking at?

Up in that oak tree

there's a nest.

- Where?

- Up there.

- A little higher.

- There are little chicks.

- You want to see?

- Sure.

They're starlings.

- Is that right?

- I don't like starlings.

- Why not?

- They're extremely aggressive birds.

Plus their habits are pretty filthy.

The mother must have her hands full.

So, you always carry these with you?

When I go bird-watching.

It's why I like coming here.

It's just a city park.

You'd be surprised

how many kinds of birds you find here.

Last week, I saw a purple martin...

and the week before that,

I saw a solitary vireo.

- That's rare.

- A solitary vireo?

- I like that.

- Their sound is really musical.

Are you a bird-watcher too?

Me? No, I'm a...

more of a people-watcher.

The way you were staring

at the tops of those trees...

I thought you were

gonna take off and fly.

I should go now.

You come here a lot?

My daddy likes me home

before dark.

- Well, it's good to listen to your dad.

- Bye.

Good morning, fellow sports fans.

The match is about to begin.

Candy enters the arena

looking sweet and trim.

He checks out the scene but plays it cool.

He's definitely holding back.

Uh-oh. Candy's eyes

have locked on to something.

Oh, yeah. A cherub lad has separated

himself from his friends.

Candy quickly makes his move.

He offers the boy a bag of treats.

Round one to Candy.

The cherub walks away.!

Round two goes to the cherub.

Very risky move by Candy.

I have never seen Candy act so cocky.

The cherub looks at Candy.

Cherub looks for his friends.

But his friends are long gone.

The cherub is alone.

The cherub crosses the street...

The cherub gets in the car.

- Hey, Walter.

- What can I do for you, Sergeant Lucas?

You can listen to

my stories about Jesus.

Oh, no. This is too much.

This is too much sun.

- What?

- This is ivy.

These plants don't like

a lot of sunlight.

Don't they grow outside?

Yeah, they grow outside.

But outside they got trees to shade 'em.

So now you're gonna take me

on a nature walk?

Have a seat.

So, yesterday you take

the 12 bus home...

but you don't get off

at your regular stop.

You stay on.

Why'd you stay on?

Fell asleep. When I woke up,

I was confused.

I got off at the wrong stop,

and I walked home.

You walked home?

Yeah.

Some of these guys...

they walk right

into a family's house.

Very...

It's very f***in' ballsy.

Had this one guy,

he's on death row...

I'll call him Henry...

and he's tellin' me

about his last victim.

She's a little...

little cutie named Adele.

She's seven years old.

And Adele's mother's got

the TV playing so loud...

he can hear Letterman

tellin' jokes in the next room.

And he walks into Adele's room...

puts his hand over her mouth.

He says, "If you scream, little girl,

I'm gonna kill your mother. "

So, of course,

Adele doesn't scream.

She doesn't cry.

She doesn't make a sound.

And Henry takes her by the hand.

They walk out the front door.

Ten days later,

they find Adele's body...

what's left of it.

You believe in fairy tales?

Fairy tales?

Yeah, like, Alice in Wonderland and...

No.

Yeah. Yeah, me neither.

What's the one with the woodsman?

- Woodsman?

- Yeah. With the ax.

- I don't know.

- Yeah, you know it.

The woodsman...

He cuts open a wolf's stomach.

The little girl comes out alive.

- Little Red Riding Hood.

- Little Red Riding Hood.

That's it. That's it.

The woodsman...

He cuts open the wolf's stomach.

The girl comes out without a scratch.

You ever see a seven-year-old...

been sodomized in half?

She was so small...

just broken.

I saw 20-year vets on that job...

hard guys, man...

and they just broke down and cried.

I was there. I cried.

There ain't no f***in' woodsman

in this world.

I don't know why they keep

lettin' freaks like you out on the street.

It just means that we gotta

catch you all over again.

I'll see you, Walter.

Talk to me like you f***in'...

Speak to me like you f***in'...

I am not...

I am not...

- Let's go.

- You don't feel sorry for this sick f***.

- Mind your own business, Pedro.

- This is my business.

What the hell is goin' on here?

Who did this?

Any man who can't deal with it,

you meet me in the office.

I'll pay you for the week.

You can clear the f*** out.

We got a lot of orders today.

Get to work.

This is bullshit.

Are you okay?

Watch your back, b*tch.

This is ready whenever.

Where's Walter?

I don't know.

I don't f***ing believe this.

- Goddamn it, Mary-Kay!

- B*tch, what the f*** are you doin'?

- What is going on?

- This is bullshit, Bob!

It's bullshit.

People have the right to know.

See anything interesting?

Not yet.

- What are you writin' in that book?

- It's my bird book.

I've identified 67 species

of birds this year alone.

Wow.

Where are your friends?

Don't you have any friends?

I have friends.

A pretty girl like you

should have a lot of friends.

I'm not pretty.

- Well, not in the common way.

- What does that mean?

It means that uncommon beauty...

is commonly overlooked.

You know, like people only notice...

the birds with the brightest colors.

What's your name?

Let's see. Linda.

Susan?

Jennifer?

Jackie?

You tell me your name,

and I'll tell ya mine.

Robin.

Yeah, like the bird.

- How old are you?

- Twelve.

- No, you're not.

- I will be in three months.

I can't wait. I hate being 11.

It has to be the stupidest age

in the world.

What's your name?

Walter.

- Do you have many friends?

- No.

How come?

A long time ago, I was sent away f...

When I came home,

all my friends were gone.

Sounds like you were banished.

Banished, yeah.

Birds are my friends.

They know I watch them...

but they don't mind

because they like being watched...

if they know

you won't hurt them.

- Robin...

- Yes?

Would you like to sit on my lap?

What?

Would you like to sit on my lap?

No, thank you.

Okay.

Doesn't matter.

Do you want me to sit on your lap?
