All language subtitles for The Commish s03e10 Mansion

Tony, grab your bagel and come in here.

You gotta see this new program.

You're gonna actually love paying bills.

Will I be using someone else's money?

Watch. You pay in the electric company.

You type in your amount.

The money's automatically transferred
from your account.

No more signing checks or licking
stamps.

I sign a check, I feel like I'm in
control.

That's passe.

I've entered all your accounts into the
hard drive.

Check out the keyboard consumer.

You can order clothes, books, or
groceries.

You don't even have to leave the house.

F2 for menu, F3 to confirm your order,
and presto, everything's delivered to

door. Oh, that is fantastic.

Hello? How much will you take to burn
that program?

Tony, it's for you.

It's okay.

It's no big deal. It's all over. Honey,
do me a favor. Go up to her room and get

her a change of clothes.

Oh, Pam.

Messy little girl today, huh?

Thanks, Ella. Stop by on the way in.

I gotta go.

You know me, Tony. I don't believe in
fantasy.

I don't stock your mahogany casket with
your mother of pearl handles for 25

grand. Let guys like Singleton's go
after the high -end trade.

With me, it's no frills and volume,
volume, volume. Al, I'd love to talk

but I'm a little prepped for... Yep.

Amanda Hannington Waller.

Took delivery an hour ago.

Her family makes the Kennedys look like
paupers. What would she be doing in a

place like...

Oh, I'm sorry, Al. I didn't mean... Why
do you think I called? She belongs at

Singleton's, a class joint.

Her husband brings her in here.

He's a buttoned -up guy. I figure, hey,
high society.

Then he orders the cheapest box I got.

You want to hear the kicker?

Death certificate says natural.

I start to bleed her, and it's got a
brownish tinge.

Toxins in the blood?

Who signed off on it? Old man Larrabee.
He's been the Wallace family doctor

since the Middle Ages.

carter wallace wants the funeral today
he can't have it i'm gonna get a court

order for removal of the body he won't
be happy he's used to getting what he

wants so am i

Been there, done that.

Done that, too.

Calvin. This is the first time for
everything.

Call you back.

Is the commissioner available? Carter
Wallace.

Yes. You look just like you.

I'll just...

See if Mr. Wallace is in.

Where's the file on... Mr. Wallace.

How do you do, Commissioner?

Come in.

Don't forget to call Calvin.

I'd like to know why you're trying to
delay my wife's funeral.

I'd like to know how she really died.
Can we keep this between us? No.

Amanda committed suicide.

Pills.

What kind?

I didn't ask her.

Did she leave a note?

I destroyed it.

It was personal. It was evidence. Of
what?

No crime was committed.

Falsifying a death certificate.

And that might just be the beginning.

I've enjoyed following your career.

Oh, I occasionally like to see what's
happening locally.

I remember that quote of yours.

I don't enforce the law. I regulate
human behavior.

I found it rather refreshing. What's
your point, Mr. Wallace?

Image is the point.

You've cultivated yours with great care
and intelligence.

Our family values its image no less.

Suicides happen in all kinds of
families. They're common. We're not.

Very well.

I'll have the death certificate revised.

After the autopsy.

Under no circumstances will I allow an
autopsy. You don't have the option.

Commissioner, may I remind you that my
wife's family is one of the oldest and

most respected... I don't care if they
met the Mayflower with a basket of

Thank you for your time.

Lovely hat collection.

We get the order of removal for Amanda
Wallace's body?

Judge Fenwick's backlog. He probably
won't sign until the morning.

Arrogant. Silver spoon, blue blood.

Not necessarily guilty.

He might do anything to keep a suicide
out of the news.

Including make himself a murder suspect?

Tony, I grew up with these people.

Well, not these people.

You know, Newport.

They think they're above the law.

They're usually right.

They're saying Newport.

Do you talk to Wallace's kids?

He's got a son and a daughter.

Do you know them?

Well, just from the scouting reports.

If you don't like the old man, wait till
you talk to them.

I think we blend right in.

You know Caroline and Matthew Wallace?

Who? Caroline and Matthew Wallace.

Excuse me.

I must be getting old.

I was going to tell her to put more
clothes on.

Who's Matthew and Caroline?

Who is Matthew and Caroline?

Later, man. We're out of here.

I'm Police Commissioner Scali, the
detective matter.

Sorry about your mother. Did you know
her?

Something you say.

We've got some questions.

Carter did it.

He killed her.

Carter Wallace, your father?

You have no right to say that.

Oh, stop defending him. It makes me
sick.

If you think he did it, why haven't you
come forward?

She has no proof.

Strictly your thing.

He went to law school for three weeks.

Carter killed my mother, and if he
could, he'd get rid of us, too.

But every family has ups and downs.

She liked pills.

Took them to sleep, wake up, gain
weight, lose it.

Carter opened up the capsules and filled
them with something else.

How do you know that's how we did it?
Because that's the way she'd do it.

That's how you'd do it, too, if you had
the guts.

I didn't hate her.

He tried to pass it off as a heart
attack.

And he figured if he didn't get away
with that, he'd admit it was suicide.

You know she was going to divorce him?

When? Soon.

We were encouraging her.

All the money's our mother's. Carter
never really belonged in that house.

He's your father.

We didn't pick him.

Dan?

How do you like the next generation of
America's leaders?

I'm moving to Brazil.

What is this?

A harp.

Lucille, this is a police station.

Don't jump on me. It's your harp. They
just dropped it off.

Who? Two fat guys. They said you'd be
billed.

I don't want to be billed. I don't want
a harp.

It's obviously a mistake, so find out
who sent it and send it back.

No problem.

Yo.

Want to see me?

38 million bucks.

Amanda Wallace's death is worth to her
ever -loving hubby.

Nothing like a cash sale.

According to the will and insurance
policies, the kids split another 20

Well, a big hunk of that will probably
go up Matthew's nose. He's been in and

out of rehab the last six years.

What? These kids have every advantage.

And instead of doing something positive
with their lives... Well, just having

money isn't enough.

Without the right kind of guidance,
parental control, wealth like that can

actually be a burden.

It's not half the burden of poverty.

You waiting on a document from Judge
Fenwick?

Order of removal for Amanda Wallace.

Let's go.

Thanks. Sure.

Just being in the building isn't enough.
You're going to attend that service.

And do you know why?

Because it is the decent thing to do.

Because she was your mother.

It's not like we feel anything.

Behave as if you did.

For the sake of the family.

And for the others who are paying their
respects.

Who knows?

You may even discover some actual
emotion of your own.

Come on.

Excuse me, sir. This is a private
ceremony, immediate family only.

Who are you?

Bartlett, sir.

I'm employed by Mr. and Mrs. Wallace.

Bartlett, please move out of the way.

I have a court order to remove Amanda
Wallace's body for autopsy.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

Oh, don't be afraid.

Where is she?

You cremated her?

I told you I was going to get an order
of removal. That was yesterday.

I expected you to wait. How long?

The family has a right. Oh, don't hand
me that out. How much did he pay you?

I'm a businessman, Tony.

The customer is always right.

May we get on with our service now?

I have a valid warrant to search.
Where's Mrs. Wallace's bedroom?

Please wait here. I'll inform Mr.
Wallace. Break down every door in the

until you find it. That won't be
necessary.

Doors are expensive these days.

May I see the warrant?

Upstairs, third door on the left.

Get pictures and prints. I want
everything labeled and barred.

Look in the bathroom for hair samples.

This is a crime scene.

Off limits to you until further notice.

I won't stand for your treating Mr.
Wallace like a criminal.

I'm treating him like a suspect in a
murder investigation. He bribed Dr.

Larrabee into falsifying a death
certificate.

Without a court, that's a very difficult
allegation to prove.

May I get you some mineral water or
something?

I've got questions for you. I can ask
them here or down at the precinct. At

precinct. I want a stenographer present
in a... No, Hayes.

I'll answer the commissioner's
questions, just the two of us.

Carter, I strongly advise that I be
present.

Commissioner?

I had Amanda cremated because that's
what she wanted. It was in her will.

You've had it subpoenaed?

How are you and Mrs. Wallace getting
along?

Given the nature of the relationship,
well.

Is that why she wanted a divorce?

Yes, Amanda talked about divorce.

On Tuesdays, on Wednesdays, it was
suicide.

Thursdays, she would beg to be
committed.

She was a severe depressive
commissioner.

She hated her life.

Thought she had nothing.

Caroline, where are you going?

I asked you a question.

We're meeting friends for dinner, Dad.

It's Wednesday.

The family has dinner together.

Oh, please.

Mother's dead.

We can drop the charade now.

We should be together, especially now.
We should help each other through this.

We're fine.

Our family has never been comfortable
showing emotion.

Leave them out of this, please.

They had nothing to do with Amanda's
death.

I promise you.

The children will be staying for dinner.

Bartlett.

How long have you worked here?

My family has been with Mrs. Wallace's
family for three generations.

Seems you have a lot of influence with
these kids. More than their father does.

I'm sure that's not so.

They're very fond of you.

Come on, Bartlett. Who are you kidding?

Underneath it all, they're fine
children.

It's clear that you care about them.

They could be in serious danger, and I
think you know the source of it.

Please, help me protect Matthew and
Caroline.

Don't let them end up like their mother.

I thought I knew how to get Bartlett to
open up.

He gave me nothing.

Well, you were asking him to violate
something that's almost inbred.

Butler and Floyd are privileged.

But the kids, rotten as they are, the
idea of protecting them from their

I thought that would work.

Mushu? Maybe Wallace didn't kill her.
Maybe it was suicide.

We still don't have proof that it
wasn't.

Of course, Bartlett could be keeping mum
because he's trying to protect the kids

because they're guilty.

Or maybe Bartlett's guilty himself.

If Butler did this.

Mr. and Mrs. Wallace weren't exactly
lovebirds.

Maybe she and Bartlett were... He killed
her when the love affair went sour?

Mm -hmm.

Or Wallace killed her when he found out
about it.

Suddenly I miss Mom and Dad.

Boss, we struck gold. Lab report from
the funeral home where her body was

prepped. Found some of her hairs.

Poison residue.

Could still be suicide.

She had a whole drugstore and a medicine
chest, but Phenicetin wasn't one of

them.

What about the bedroom?

Anything from forensics? Right after the
body was taken away, her husband had

the staff clean the room top to bottom.

How much surveillance on Wallace,
Bartlett, and the kids?

I'll take Wallace first thing in the
morning.

Buries his wife yesterday. Looks like
he's bringing his girlfriend flowers

today. Oh, the idle rich.

I'm with Matthew at a hot dog joint on
Pender and 4th. It's a hell of a

neighborhood. He making a truck boy?

I don't know. He looks like he could use
a fix.

Where's Caroline?

She hasn't left the house.

Mike Rose is with her.

I'm sticking with Wallace. Stay in
contact.

Right.

What are you doing here?

Tailing Bartlett. He's parked up the
block.

You are not going to believe what I'm
saying.

Ditto. Looks like Matthew's trying to
give Bartlett some money, but he won't

take it.

Staying with you?

You're blessed.

Stay with Bartlett. Lopez is going to
take Wallace on the next tour. I'm on

Collins every two hours.

Got it.

Rachel. Don't even talk to me.

They've been coming all day. I told them
that we didn't order anything. They

said they can either bring it in or
leave it out in the street to get

All right. Take it easy.

Look at this.

Three cases of vegetable seeds, a barber
chair, religious vestments, 40 pounds

of salami. And it's all from that
keyboard consumer.

That's where the harp came from.

What harp?

Check this out.

It's the visible woman.

Wait till I show my friends.

David, did you order all this stuff?

No way, Dad.

Did you?

You're the expert. Find out what's going
on here.

I'm leaving a message for the CISO.

What?

System operator.

Don't worry. It'll be okay.

What's the matter?

I can't tell how this stuff got ordered,
but they won't be sending us anything

else. Well, how could you be sure?

Because we can't pay for it.

They took the money for all this stuff
out of your account.

Now there's nothing left.

Nothing? As in no money in any account?

As in zero.

This is insane.

This can't be happening.

Gally.

Put him through.

This is Richard Bartlett.

I'm sorry to bother you at home.

I've been thinking about what you said.

I need to talk to you.

I'm listening.

In person.

Meet me at the precinct. I'm leaving
now.

Fine.

I have something for you.

What? What do you...

Break the area up into a grid and comb
every inch.

Use as many men as it takes.

Whatever Bartlett was bringing me was
evidence worth killing for. It's here

somewhere.

Where was he?

He was at the film revival on
Cloverdale.

Dial M for murder.

Bartlett knew who killed Amanda.

You mean he knew it was Wallace?

Until yesterday, I would have bet the
house on it.

But the way he cried over a crypt...
People cry for a lot of reasons.

Where are the kids?

Club Noir.

They left an hour before the bomb went
off. They've been there all night.

Let's talk, Matthew.

Now.

Don't worry.

She'll be back.

You're the only one in the club she
hasn't slept with.

I have some bad news for you.

Bartlett is dead.

We know.

Her dad called to tell her. And you
stayed here dancing?

If we stopped, would that bring him
back?

Why am I looking at you?

Oh, because the man was blown up at your
front door.

And do you think we did it?

If you don't know it with Carter by
now... How many more... people does he

to kill before you put him away?

Maybe they're waiting until he kills us.

Carter probably paid them off. That's
enough.

When was the last time you saw Bartlett?

A couple days ago. Where?

The house. You saw him yesterday.

No, I... At the hot dog stand on Pender.

You tried to shove an envelope of cash
on him.

What was the payoff about?

What was it for?

Leave him alone.

We don't have to tell you anything. I
was trying to pay him back.

I borrowed 800 bucks from him.

Why?

My allowance wasn't... I needed more
money.

And Mother wouldn't give it to me. For
coke?

Gee, you're sharp.

I told him it was for fixing up the car.

He cracked up another porch. Shut up.

But I needed... You know, I've been
under a lot of stress lately.

So you used the money to score.

And I tried to pay him back.

But he wouldn't take it.

You know, he said he didn't want to have
anything to do with the drug.

That's a very touching story.

But only half of it is true.

What do you mean? It's the truth.

You needed money for your habit.

And Mommy said no.

So you killed her for the 20 million in
a lifetime supply.

I didn't kill my... And Bartlett knew
about it. When he refused to take your

payoff, you killed him, too.

I would never... Bartlett was the
only... He was the

only... Would you for once try and grow
up?

Carter killed him and our mother.

We pay your salary. Why don't you do
something about it?

Okay, baby.

We're out of here.

Unless you're going to arrest us.

Not yet.

Keep tabs on him.

Call me a softie, but those tears seem
real to me.

People cry for a lot of reasons.

I've been on the phone with the bank all
morning, trying to tell them this is

all a big mistake.

Who'd you talk to?

No one.

You just said you... I talk to a
machine.

You push numbers so it knows what your
problem is, except that it doesn't have

number for our problem.

So finally I get through to the bank
president, actually to his voicemail,

told him that they have to stop these
deliveries and give us our money back.

Did you tell him you're the
commissioner's wife?

I told him that I am a grown woman, a
customer of his bank whose financial

history is as solid as a rock.

Then I told him that I'm the
commissioner's wife.

That'll work.

When do we tee off?

I'm teed off already.

Call the president of Eastbridge
National Bank and tell him I'm on my

Look, I don't know how this happened,
and I don't care.

The bank should never have given this
keyboard consumer our money.

I know.

We're being robbed.

Only there's no one to arrest because
the machine is doing it. I know, I know.

Tony, can I call you Tony?

Sure. Well, Tony, I know exactly what
you need.

Enhanced customer privilege.

Do you know what that is?

Tell me.

Well, ECP is a program where we take
your old credit limit and we throw it

We just throw it away, and we raise it
to a level that more accurately reflects

your current purchasing profile.

That sounds great.

I can't give you ECP, Tony, and you know
why? Because your accounts are empty.

That's what I've been trying to tell
you.

We're talking about a computer error
here.

I know. I know.

Look, we do have swing loans at very
attractive rates just to tide you over.

That's the best you can do. I can't give
you a swing loan, Tony.

I want to give it to you, but I can't
give it to you.

You have no money.

Sometimes I hate my job.

What am I supposed to do, take out a
second mortgage?

With your account profile?

I admire your ability to joke at a time
like this.

Do you know who I am?

You're the police commissioner.

Doesn't that mean anything?

I suppose you get out of parking
tickets.

What have we got?

Fragments of a bottle that contained
phenacetin.

They were found 100 feet from Bartlett's
car.

That's the stuff that killed the man at
Wallace.

There's traces of it on the glass, but
no piece is big enough to yield a print.

Bartlett not only knew who killed her,
he was bringing us the weapon.

We were digging around in the pieces of
Bartlett's car, digging around in the

pieces of Bartlett.

And Wallace was looking down from his
ivory tower just as cool as... Trying to

make him sweat.

Have a seat, Commissioner.

We won't be interrupted.

Since word of your investigation has
become public, my fellow members feel

I am no longer a desirable dining
companion.

Something about being a murder suspect.

I came pretty close to arresting your
son this morning.

Matthew has had a lot of problems in the
past.

The drug use has been very difficult on
all of us.

But he is on the road recovered.

And getting arrested for the murder of
his mother in Bartlett.

I'm very close to arresting you as an
accessory after the fact.

Another martini, please?

I think you knew he killed Amanda.

Maybe with Caroline's help, maybe alone.

My children are innocent.

Of murder.

Like Caroline said, let's drop the
charade.

You cremated your wife's body to cover
up your children's crime.

Do you read a lot of paperback?

I understand it may be difficult for you
to accept the fact that the children

you raised could have done the things
that Caroline and Matthew did.

But you've made yourself a party to
them. And when they go away, you'll go.

Thank you, Philip.

Mr.

Wallace, your children... My children!

But my children are.

They are vacuous.

Totally self -absorbed, devoid of any
sense of responsibility.

And it's my fault.

You and I both know children don't turn
out like that on their own.

Amanda didn't know how to be a parent,
and I was...

Too busy pretending to be somebody that
I'm not.

My real name is Wolacek.

From Queens.

My father was a plumber.

From the time that I was old enough to
reason, I knew that that was no way to

live.

And since I wasn't born of money, I
decided to marry into it.

The great Gatsby in real life.

Did your wife know?

At first, it didn't matter. I think we
were even in love.

But as time went on, my past became her
weapon.

She never let me forget where I came
from, and the children followed her

She was lying to all of us.

She was convinced that I was cheating on
her, and I wasn't.

She had to know where I was at all
times.

She even had intercoms installed in all
the rooms.

You couldn't have any idea what it's
like to live like that.

You're right.

I envy you, Commissioner.

You know who you are.

Chuck Wolinchik knew.

He had a chance at being a decent human
being, and he surely would have been a

better father.

Thank you, Edwin.

I may have started with nothing, but I
have nothing now.

And I will use all the money and the
power at my disposal to protect my

children.

I'm sorry I have to leave now.

Please feel free to order anything that
you like.

Hold it!

It seems a man isn't secure even in his
own home.

Some are, some aren't.

Repeated warnings have gone unheeded.

If your irresponsible behavior doesn't
change by the end of this year, you will

be left to fend for yourself.

Your wife wrote this to Caroline.

She was going to cut her out of her
will. That would never have happened.

Caroline's behavior improved
dramatically.

Then why the rush to get rid of it?

Well, I was just disposing of some
family papers that were no longer...

Caroline's motive.

You're trying to destroy the evidence of
it. Yeah, that's right.

I failed them all their lives, but I'm
not going to fail them again.

You're under arrest. Call your buddy
Hayes and have him meet us at the

Where's your warrant, Commissioner?

The previous one expired two days ago.

You don't even have a right to be on my
property.

May I have those, please?

Isn't the Fourth Amendment the wonderful
thing?

It was like I was a rookie.

Where all of a sudden I went brain dead.

I'm tailing Wallace home from his club.
I know he's up to something.

My adrenaline's pumping.

I didn't even think about the warrant.

I may have blown the whole case.

Wallace said he was going to do
everything to protect him. He's making

that. Which one is he protecting?

He may not even know.

So you lost the letter.

What, are you just going to sit here and
mope?

That's my preliminary plan.

Oh.

Well, when you want to nail the little
creep, let me know.

That's it?

That's the support I get?

Boy, you think you developed a team
atmosphere all for one, one for all.

got the team. We just need a coach.

You can still make a case, Tony.

How? I have no evidence against Carolina
Matthew.

But they don't know that.

Didn't you once tell me the best
evidence is a guilty man's fear of being

caught?

Did I?

I think you did.

Father did kill your mother.

Really? Are you sure?

I know where the proof is.

In Bartlett's apartment.

He found the bottle of poison that was
used to kill your mother.

But he was killed before he could give
it to me.

Why'd you wait until now to tell us?

I just found out. Bartlett sent me a
letter.

He knew there was a chance something
might happen to him.

Why don't you go get it?

I won't have a warrant until tomorrow
morning.

If I go in without it, the evidence will
be inadmissible in court.

And how will this bottle prove who
killed our mother? It has the killer's

fingerprints on it.

So what should we do?

My advice?

Leave the house.

Stay at a friend's until this thing is
over.

I could have signed an officer to
protect you and... No.

We don't need that. I can't force you.

But at least stay away from your father.

I bought this apartment.

Matthew, you better hurry up and get
here. My bladder's about to burst.

You think it's Matthew?

Don't you?

Caroline's got their guts to have pulled
it off. He's weak.

I agree, but he's desperate. It's him.
No way.

Odd.

Ten to one on a buck.

So you used the intercoms just like your
wife did.

Looking for this?

I drove ten miles and threw that in the
lake.

Not deep enough.

Bartlett must have followed you.

You killed your wife because she was
going to divorce you.

Well, after 25 years, I wasn't going to
wind up with just a couple of million.

And you knew you were being tailed.

The crying scene at the crypt.

The letter to Caroline, all that was
staged for my benefit?

No, for mine.

You tried to pin two murders on your own
children.

They tried to pin them on me.

You were guilty.

Is that relevant?

We're family.

Get Mr. Wolacek out of here.

I searched here once already.

Where did he hide it?

He didn't.

But you said enough.

Well done, Commissioner.

I guess that makes the better push.

Yeah, look at it this way. The trap
worked.

But I didn't set it to catch him.

I won't tell if you don't.

About time.

You're going to inherit everything.

That's a fortune that most people can't
even imagine.

No lectures on the responsibility of
wealth, okay?

You're out of your element.

It's your money. You can do what you
want.

I just thought that maybe you'd like to
do something that Bartlett would be

proud of.

Come on, let's go, Dan. Not tonight.

Matthew. Not tonight.

They're taking the medieval armor.

Oh, come on. You gotta let me keep
something.

I did. You already went through 40
pounds of salami.

You know, honey, the keyboard consumer
people don't know what went wrong, but

they swear it can't ever happen again.

That's right, because I'm throwing the
computer out the window.

We got along fine for years with a
calculator, a checkbook, and a real mall

the street, which is looking better and
better every day.

Oh, David uses it for school.

We have to keep up with the times,
right?

Well, I suppose the odds of it happening
again have got to be a million to one.

At least.
