Big deal.

Well, Orson, finally done.

Ah, medicine.

Peace at last.

Thank you.

Absolutely criminal, the way this girl manipulated our father.

Charmed the pants off him. Norma. She did.

What exactly?

Three weeks before his death, he rewrites the will, leaving half of his

to this Angela Cahill person, this nurse.

Sort of understandable.

What? Uh, folks, he was dying of cancer.

She tended to him. He's just pain.

It's naturally forming an attachment to his nurse.

She hardly deserves to be called a nurse.

Another profession comes to mind. What would you know? You were never there. If

I may interject, what I'm here for is to discover whether she used what they

call undue influence. Is that right?

Yes. Our lawyer says that if we can prove that she pressured him into

the will, then the will's no good.

She was living at your father's house?

No.

My own.

Private hospital.

Oh.

Hospital.

Is that a problem?

No. No, no problem.

This is today's special. Tune alone.

He calls that a special.

So you want me to check out this hospital?

Yeah, especially a guy named Orson.

Orson? He's a former roommate of the deceased.

Might be a witness once you try and talk to him.

Why aren't you going?

I'm trying to do your mother a favor. You know, earn while you learn.

Uh -huh.

All right.

I have this thing about doctors and nurses.

But... The phobia, Ray. Bernie had a heart attack in a very bad time in the

hospital.

Were you scared?

You think you're going to die?

Right.

Nobody lives forever. We all got to go sometime, even little kids.

Have a nice day, Randy.

You going to eat, Fern?

What are you working on?

Well, you know, calligraphy. Oh, yeah, calligraphy. I heard Hank Wallace is

doing five to ten for a little calligraphy. Hank Wallace is an amateur.

And you, sir, are a pro.

Books, I got a little job for you. Two wills, one old, one new. I'd like you to

compare the signatures.

An older gentleman.

You've got it. What we're looking for are signs of stress or...

emotional problem.

Leave it to me.

Oh, yeah, we want to make sure that neither of the wills has been, uh, you

calligraphied.

Calligraphied, if it...

Oh,

he'll be so pleased with order.

He hasn't had a visitor in ages. Oh.

And a relative. Well, that's the thing. I'm not exactly sure that we're family.

Mr. Orson, visitor.

Hello,

Mr. Orson. I'm Mary Orson.

I'm from Philadelphia.

I know that I have some distant relatives here, and I was wondering

if you might be one of them.

I thought that maybe we could trace the family tree.

If you'd like.

Oh, dear.

Excuse me. You're upsetting him.

Shall we put away the toys now?

Okay.

It's just that he's not used to visitors.

All he seems to do all day long is steal toys and books, reports them, gives

them away again.

See? I'm afraid you won't get much out of Mr. Horse.

The most common first name in the English language, James.

It's a common last name, Smith. Guess who I'm looking for? James Smith.

You seem rattled.

No, no, I'm fine.

Listen, Bernie, you're Mr.

Orson. He's not going to work out as a witness. He's, um... He's pretty

confused. He spooked you?

No. The place did? No.

Angela Cahill.

The nurse?

Yes, she looked at me as if she knew who I was.

Who were you?

Mary Horsman.

Good.

Because when she leaves tomorrow, you're going to help me ID her.

We're going to trail her.

Bernie, would you do me a favor?

Advance expenses?

Your thing about butchers and drug dealers, would you keep that to

I want my kids to feel good about hospitals.

Sure. Just tell them to stay healthy.

Since you mention it, I would like an advance.

So how much did this old guy leave this nurse?

We're working on it, Ray.

Marie, don't do your hair in the kitchen.

So how much, Mom?

A million?

No. Two million.

No, not even close, Ray. Besides, it's confidential.

Oh, come on, Mom. You could tell me.

We're related.

Can you say confidential?

Did Daddy have a will?

No. We thought we had all the time in the world.

Do you have a will? Ray.

No, honey, that's okay.

No, I don't, but I'm going to make one.

Does that bother anybody?

Just do the making the will part, okay? Not the dying part.

Don't you worry. I'm going to stick around until you're all just good and

of me.

Okay.

Sure. So what do we do with you then?

Um...

Love me.

There she is.

Hold it for a second. Hey, I'm not your maid.

Well, you're all right.

Okay.

It's the brother of Ron Dallas.

Look what they're doing.

Yeah.

Look what they're doing.

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.

Yes, we were a little taken aback ourselves.

Have you talked to him about this?

No, he was occupying.

We decided that we better inform you first because, you see, ethically, it's

bit tricky.

Yes, a bit tricky. Your brother shucked us like fresh corn.

I see a solution.

You're fired.

What?

Now, how'd you like to work for me?

Well, it's obvious.

They've plotted to do me out of my part of the inheritance, and now they're

going to split the difference.

Right? It's a possibility.

Yeah, it looks that way.

So get proof.

Right.

Right. They were signed by the same guy, all right. But the handwriting's

changed. See, sort of breaking down.

Physical pain?

Definitely.

Maybe drugs?

Of course, he was on morphine, wasn't he?

Yeah, they're giving him withholding of drugs.

That way they could influence him. No pain, no gain.

That's disgusting.

Got an autopsy report?

No autopsy. They waived it. No, Ron asked that it be waived. The hospital

agreed. Also, there's no remains.

No remains?

Ron insisted that the body be cremated. Over Norman's objection.

Oh, boys. Oh, girls. I believe we got ourselves a murder.

Oh, no. Yes, yes, Sally.

Premeditated murder. First they get him to change the will, then they kill him

so he can't change it back. Then they destroy the evidence. Have you got a

better theory?

No. Books? The perfect crime, almost.

Now all we need is... Proof?

Is this break and entry, Bernie? No, no, it's a hospital.

So? It's an emergency.

I hate the smell of these places.

I don't.

Last time I was in was when I was giving birth to Ray.

You see, they get you coming and going.

Where do they keep the medical records?

In the records room.

Yeah, wonderful. Where's the records room? How should I know? You were here.

Expects me to know everything.

This corridor looks promising.

You got a good feeling about that one? Yeah, I do.

Go to the end of the hall and stand guard.

At school, we used to try it with bobby pins.

Popular misconception.

Are you going to teach me how to do that?

In due time.

The lesson today is go to the end of the hall and stand guard.

Right.

Come on, babe.

That's it. Look at you.

What do you need?

How about water?

Everything's going to be okay.

Everything's gonna be all right.

There you go. You done?

Good.

Shh.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

It's a candy bar. Here.

Underwear.

All right.

A diary.

Wait a second. Let me just take a peek at that.

Let me just... It's a

long night, huh?

Sure is.

Bad dreams, Mr. Orson.

Well... There you go.

That more comfortable for you?

Just try and get some sleep now.

It's me.

I'm sorry.

No, I have to talk.

I found something.

I don't know. It's a journal or a diary or something. It's a dead giveaway.

Ronnie, I can't take this anymore.

The usual place.

Thanks anyway, pal.

You're the champ.

You're the champ. You're the champ.

You've got my piece.

Oh, yeah. It works.

I found something. There's a diary.

Angela ordered morphine every day. It's Daylon's diary.

But Angelique found it. So she would easily have held back until she had a

lethal dose.

Are you listening to me? Are you finished?

Morphine could have been the burger weapon. Yeah, but the real dope is in

diary.

Diary? What diary?

It's too dangerous. We're going to have to get rid of it.

And go on lying?

I told you, I don't want to do this anymore. We made a decision. I know

But the diary.

Orson could have given it to anybody.

Yeah, well, he gave it to you.

We're not going to turn ourselves in, Angela.

Sorry, Dad.

Whoa, whoa!

Nah, you don't want to do that.

$500 fine for littering.

Yeah, not to mention life imprisonment for murder.

Ron, please.

You want to let me look at that?

At last.

A way out of the pain.

The hospital wouldn't help.

But my dear Angela was wrong.

Or taking it on themselves to set me free.

I'm so bloody grateful.

I'm preparing a little surprise for Angela.

To express my love and gratitude.

A mercy killing.

He wanted this.

He asked for it.

He asked the hospitals first.

Beg them.

They wouldn't do it.

So then he asked us.

And he left you the money out of gratitude.

I didn't know anything about the money. I didn't...

I didn't know any of this.

Norma.

You weren't there.

Because I couldn't stand to see him like this.

Thing is, it proves we killed him.

It proves that you loved him.
