Homicide: Life on the Street, Season 5
Pembleton:
What, you're feeling sorry for yourself cause you lost a case?
Bayliss:
I've spent my life trying not to feel sorry for myself. See, Adena Watson, Janelle Parsons, Tonya Thompson. Every murdered child, every abused child, I understand. Cause all those children are me. Yeah, I know what that's all about. You see, my uncle, my father's brother, I was 5 years old, and he would follow me into the bathroom and he would close the door and he would take my hand in his and he would.... After he was done, he would smile and he would say what a good boy I was and oh, yeah, shhh....And this went on for years, years. My, my parents, they couldn't understand why I cried at every holiday, every family get together. So when I was 8 years old, I told my father, what had been going on, and I remember it was a struggle to get those words out and my father just stared at me and he asked me why I was lying. And he was my father and he was supposed to protect me Frank, but he didn't. See, for him, whatever was happening, it was like an inconvience. See, to him, I wasn't a real person, and he never saw me, he never really looked at me. Ever.
Pembleton:
Tim, I'm sorry.
Bayliss:
I don't want your comfort Frank. That's not why I told you.
Pembleton:
Alright.
Bayliss:
By the way, I don't wanna be partners with you anymore.
