All language subtitles for Cagney and Lacey s05e08 Filial Duty.eng

There's an electrical cord tied around
her neck, indicating that she'd been

strangled. They're burying somebody they
loved.

They're burying somebody they killed.

You're tired and cranky, ready to go on
clerical. Oh, but you don't start that

again. I will stay on the street as long
as I want to. We have three days on a

homicide. After that, the salt break
drops down to garbage.

You sure you're up for this? I'm fine,
sir. Thank you, sir.

A helpless old woman gets murdered.
Makes you start to think weird stuff.

I care about you, and I care about the
work. If it's getting to me, Christine,

it's getting to my baby, too.

Sometime last night.

I'll be able to give you more details
after I do the autopsy.

Assuming I live that long.

Vagabond? Breakfast.

What?

I didn't have any.

And they expect me to look at a dozen
fresh ones and a few not -so -fresh ones

before lunch.

Do you know what that's like?

Oh, a news bomb, excuse me, about the
victim? Okay, boys, we're done. You can

take it downtown.

Early wake up, short depth.

I'll be lucky if I get a candy bar
between court.

You've got my sympathy in you, Tom. All
right, but I'm trying to conduct an

investigation here. Oh, sure.

That's easy for you. You probably had
breakfast.

Would you give me a break?

You want a break?

Try eating liverwurst when you're
cutting a jumper.

Here's fine. Please.

Probable cause of death?

No.

Well, the woman was found with an
electrical cord tied around her neck.

Now, would it be safe to assume
strangulation?

I'll try to have a preliminary report
for you by tomorrow morning, but I can't

promise. Tomorrow? No.

You can get it for me by this afternoon.

This afternoon?

All right, all right. I'll do what I
can.

Hey, do you know that deli downstairs?

Are their bagels any good?

I wouldn't know.

You know, if I put a move on, I might be
able to grab some lox and cream cheese

before my first flight.

Bon appetit. Thank you.

Did you get anything?

The victim is Mrs. Caitlin O 'Connell.
She's Mrs. Kelly's mother.

He was home alone last evening. It looks
like the perpetrator came up to fire

escape and in the window.

Anything missing?

Only from the bedroom. About $300 in
cash and a gold necklace that was around

her neck.

Any of the members of the family?

Yeah, they have a son, Frank Jr.

He went to school already, but the
uniforms are going to pick him up.

Miss, Mrs. Kelly, I realize how
difficult this has been for you, but we

some more information that we must get
from each of you.

Know what it sounds like?

Sounds like Newman's cat burger.

Possibly.

It's a very similar MO, Christine.

It could have been someone who knew
then. It could have been some other

Well, it could have been Santa Claus.
All I'm saying is it sounds like

cat burger.

And all I'm saying is that if Newman's
cat burger committed every burglary that

Newman tries to pin on, the man could
have retired years ago.

You know, you're very competitive with
this man.

I am not.

I'm simply not willing to turn over a
case to some cocksure rookie who thinks

knows it all.

Because you're tired and cranky, ready
to go on clerical. Oh, but you don't

start that again. I will stay on the
street as long as I want to. And it has

nothing to do with your competition with
Newman.

Fine. I will wait for the forensics
report. I will wait to talk to uniforms

regarding their interviews with the
neighbors. And when I have all the

will then make a reasoned assumption.

Fine. I agree with you 100%, Christine.

All I'm saying is it sounds like
Newman's cat burger.

It's only three blocks from one of his
hits. The one you're least sure he did.

Everything follows his pattern, entering
from a fire escape, a rear apartment,

one floor down from the roof. The hours
he works, limiting to cash and jewelry.

Anybody else would have taken the TV
set. It's obviously the same guy. Now, I

caught the original 61. I put together
the pattern. Now I should catch the

homicide. Only none of the others had a
homicide.

There's always a first time. He probably
didn't even know about the old lady. At

her age, she couldn't have gone out
there. So when he saw her, he just

What about the cold chisel?

Exactly. The man always uses a cold
chisel.

I checked the window. The instrument
used was smaller than a cold chisel. I

called forensics, and forensics report
will confirm as soon as it arrives, the

man used a screwdriver.

Maybe he lost the chisel.

Well, I've got one other concern, and
I'm going to have to be blunt.

I've never had a situation like this
before. Lacey.

Yes, sir.

You know, and I know, that we basically
have three days on a homicide. After

that, the solve rate drops down to
garbage.

You sure you're up for this?

I'm fine, sir. Thank you, sir.

All right.

Sergeant Cagney, your second whip.

It's up to you.

Make whatever decision you feel is
appropriate.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Gentlemen, after you.

Preliminary interview with neighbors in
the building. Indicate. No one saw or

heard anything unusual.

Wait a second.

Where are you?

Neighbors in the building.

Preliminary interview with neighbors in
the building.

Indicate. No one saw or heard anything
unusual.

The forensic report indicates a... What?

What does that say? Indicates a what?

Burglar, B -U -R -G -L -A -R.

Right. You've got to learn to read your
own handwriting, Christine.

The forensics report indicates a burglar
who fits no pattern known to the

department at this time.

Christine, man, please don't argue with
me. This is not Newman's cat burglar.

This is a different person. This I know.

I was going to ask who's going to do the
DD5s when I go on leave.

My type.

Magni. Yeah, I know.

Who's going to interpret the
handwriting?

We got the M .E.'s report.

Okay.

What is this?

The major part of the autopsy.

Well, where is Christo?

I'm about to find out.

Now, forget it, Christine. That's civil
service. They go home at normal hours,

unlike some people I could name.

Now, Beth, if we don't finish the
paperwork now, we can't go back out on

streets tomorrow to find the perp.

There's no end.

Probably one of the DD5s without an
autopsy report.

Exactly, Christine.

Good night.

Kind way on there.

Why didn't you tell me Charlie was sick?

Well, he's not. It's just a cough.

Are you seeing a doctor?

I've been pushing, but you know Charlie.
Now he feels about doctors.

He promised me he'd take it easy,
though, so I said I'd bring him in

tonight. Oh, that's thoughtful,
Christine.

Well,

it's not really thoughtful.

It's just Charlie.

Actually, it's a tradition.

Chinese spirits.

When I was a kid, that was Charlie's
version of chicken soup. He said it

cure anything.

Want a bite?

Are you kidding?

Okay.

Anyway, he said if ever I had a bad day
at school or I'd fight with my mother,

Charlie would buy me Chinese spirits. He
said it would always put a smile on my

face. Yeah, I'll have to remember that.

I'm out.

102 -79.

Just listen to the heat of Jimmy Carter.

Hey,

it's the most beautiful cop in New York.
Hi, Pop.

What took you so long?

About Chinese?

Your very favorite.

Berets. Uh -uh, not in your life. We are
going out to eat.

Charlie, you said you were going to take
it easy. I am all right. I am taking my

sergeant officer daughter out for a
night on the top.

No, you sound awful.

How about one for the road?

Charlie, I don't think the booze is a
really good idea. It pulls you down. Oh,

no. Oh, no, wrong, wrong. Oh, oh, oh,
oh, no.

Booze is the best thing in the world for
a cold. That's what my St. Ivor's

grandmother used to say all the time.

I'll bet she did.

Excuse me, Pop.

We're staying home. We're going to put
our feet up. We're going to have

We're going to watch TV. You know what's
on? As Becky told me, Red River. Now,

listen, Christine, don't you baby me.
Remember, I'm the guy who used to change

your diapers.

Well, that's attractive.

I didn't want you to take care of
yourself. Look, you're all hot.

Christine, I'm fine.

Now, I am going to go out and have a
good time with a terrific woman who

to love me. Now, what could be better
for me than that?

Staying in and having a good time with a
terrific woman who loves you.

Here's your terrific purse.

Let's go.

Charlie. Come on, come on, come on. This
is a lousy idea. I paid for those

rings. Now, you listen to your old man.
I am telling you, I feel like a million

dollars. I don't think that'll be going
with us, Charlie.

I have your jacket. You are four years
old. That is it. Four.

Mm -hmm.

Where did you get the three? Drop that
now.

It's open, Doctor. By about the fourth
bar, now Charlie's really starting to

give it to me. In front of everybody. He
drops to his knees and he pulls one of

these, Father, dear Father, come home
with me now.

He's in front of everyone, of course.

It's hysterical, and I'm standing there
feeling like an idiot.

Well, you're taking care of your dad,
that's all. Uh -huh. I finally put him

a bed about 2 a .m. That put me in a bed
at 3.

Oh, great. Yeah, doctor.

Oh, hi. You needed to see me, Sergeant?
Yeah, doctor. We've got a problem. The

autopsy report you sent us yesterday...
Uh, do you mind if we walk while we

talk? If I don't get my sugar fix soon,
I'm gonna kill him.

Fine. Fine.

Anyway, the autopsy report that you sent
us yesterday... Now, which one was

that? It was Kaylin O 'Connell, an
elderly woman. She was strangled.

Right. That's why you look familiar.

I saw you at the scene.

Yesterday morning.

Right.

Okay, anyway, the autopsy report you
sent us yesterday had page two missing

it. We called your office. They said
they don't know what happened to it.

Apparently the one in your file has the
same page missing. And the type is in

Francis, so they can't guarantee when
we'll get him.

So we're wondering if you remembered any
salient points of the autopsy. No.

Oh, shoot.

They're out of Jim Jams?

No.

Doctor, the woman, she's 78 years old.
She couldn't have weighed more than 100

pounds. It was just yesterday. Do you
know how many people die in New York

in any 24 -hour period?

And how many I have to open up?

Oh, lady.

I just cut them and tell the tape about
what I see.

And then I do it again.

And again.

And I do my damnedest not to remember
what I just saw.

I don't know any other way to do this
job.

Okay, have either of you got a dime? A
hotsy -totsy bar costs ten cents more

than a Jim Jam, and I don't have the
right change.

Oh, sure.

Oh, great.

Believe that man? He ate that candy bar
with his surgical gloves still on.

Trying to block Christine from my
memory, Christine.

Who's Anthony Carpelli?

Certainly knew you. He said it was
urgent.

You had any recent opportunity to
transmit diseases, Cagney?

Funny man, Coleman.

Don't give up your day job.

I'm sorry about that.

We have a date with our cat burglar and
your killer out on Staten Island. You

want to wish us luck? Not particularly.

I love you too, sweetie.

Oh, excuse me, Sergeant Swoop.

Mouth off one more time. I'm going to
write him up!

Don't you love it? The 126th out on
Staten Island just picked up this guy

speeding around.

No kidding.

And it looks like no one's cat burglar?
Well, they found some burglary tools and

a diamond tie tack that matches the hot
sheet.

So, that's good.

Tag me.

Anthony Carpelli.

Yeah, it's good. It's terrific.

Only now we may have to hear about it
for the next month. Yes, it's Sergeant

Cagney. This guy definitely has an
overgrown ego problem. Yes, how do you

Mr. Carpelli?

What?

When?

Well, what happened?

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

That was Charlie's super.

They just took Charlie to the hospital.

I'm going to go.

I'll go with you.

Pop? Oh, hey, hey, Chrissy.

Hi.

What's the matter?

I can't believe this.

It's the only way you can find a pretty
nurse. I hate places like this.

I know, I do too.

But you won't be in here very long.

Hey, did you talk to the doctor?

He says he has no money. Why don't I get
out of here?

Why did they all say that, Pop?

For hangnails?

Don't make me laugh. Okay.

He's just trying to scare you into
taking better care of yourself, Pop.

He's doing a hell of a job.

Come on, Charlie.

I know you.

You're going to be running this place in
a couple of days.

Give no flak about the meals, huh?
Jason, after the nurses, they're going

throw you out.

How much do you want to bet?

What?

20 bucks.

I'll collect one to pick you up next
week.

Yeah.

Okay, 20 bucks.

We got the pneumonia early. I put him on
antibiotics and breathing treatments

around the clock.

We should know something in 48 hours.

But he's going to be okay.

This time?

Probably.

Your father isn't a young man, Miss
Cagney.

Pneumonia is hard on anyone, regardless
of age.

And his condition makes it worse.

What condition?

First of all, there's nutritional
deterioration. He hasn't been eating

Probably because of the cough.

He's anemic.

There's been some damage to his lungs
from smoking.

Oh, wait a minute, Doctor.

My father gave up smoking four years
ago. You don't heal as well at his age.

And you are aware he's an alcoholic?

I know he drinks. From what I've seen,
I'd say Mr. Cagney's an alcoholic.

Almost certainly in the first stages of
cirrhosis.

When he's up to it, I'd like to run some
more tests on him.

Doctor, I don't understand what it is
you're trying to tell me. How thick is

father? It's very hard to give you an
exact answer.

Your father, your father has a lifetime
of bad habits catching up with him.

In the long run, he could be in for some
serious health problems.

Does he live alone?

Sooner or later, that may have to
change.

Your father may eventually get to a
point when he can't care for himself

anymore.

He may be a doctor, Mary Beth, but he
does no beans about Charlie.

My father is not a statistic.

He's as tough as they come.

He'll be fine, Christine.

I know that. What do you think I've been
telling you?

What are you set to hurry for?

I want to get back to the Kelly
apartment.

What for?

There's something going on there I don't
like. I don't know what it is. I want

to look through Mrs. O 'Connell's room
again.

Well, you don't have to do that now.

Well, what else are we going to do? We
don't have anything else to do this

afternoon, Mary Beth.

I'm sure he'll give you the rest of the
afternoon off.

I don't want the rest of the afternoon
off. Well, you can stay here. You can

with Charlie.

There's nothing I can do for Charlie.

He just needs to get rest, that's all.

Hi, I'm Sergeant Cagney. This is
Detective Lacey.

You were here yesterday?

I remember.

Oh, could we come in, please?

My parents aren't here.

Oh, that's okay, Frank. We just want to
look around again.

My parents had to go do this stuff for

the, you know, the funeral.

So we're sorry about your grandmother.

Excuse me a minute.

Oh, you okay?

Yeah.

It's... I don't know.

It's hard, huh?

All the neighbors say your grandmother
was a nice lady.

Yeah.

So you sleep out here, huh?

Ever since Granny moved in.

My husband and I were considering
getting one of these fold -away sofas.

they comfortable?

I mean, it's kind of a thin mattress.

Yeah. You get used to it, I guess.

It's just that my parents won't let me
play my tapes. They say it's too loud.

Well, you could get those little
earphones.

My son has those.

Not the same.

You figure it out yet?

Something. Something's not right here. I
just don't know what it is.

You can't park there, buddy. Uh -huh.

We'll go.

Hey.

You must have had a more interesting
floor than I did.

The only thing I got we didn't get
yesterday was a Mrs.

Filerman. She's one door down from the
Kellys.

She said that they were always fighting.

We got that yesterday from the neighbor
upstairs.

Now, all the time, she said.

Enough so that the husband left for a
while.

About the mother -in -law, too. Could be
something.

Mary Beth, how come you're not expecting
to beat each other's throats? How do

you like to live like that?

You're not a person. You're a nurse.

That poor little kid gets thrown out of
his room. He sleeps on the living room

couch. He has no privacy.

The only time you can be alone in that
place is if you have to go to the camp.

Unless you walk out and you stay out.

I tell you, it's nowhere to live.

Does Brian know about your dad yet?

Where in the hell did that come from?

Your father is sick. I think his son
would like to know.

I'm working on a murder case here, and
you're worried about my brother in

California?

Tell you, Mary Beth, you're the best.

The best.

Besides, Charlie is not that sick.

He's in the hospital, Christine.

Yeah, well, I got a $20 bet that says
he's going to be out by the end of the

week.

Airplane from California takes five
hours. You can dial there in 11 digits.

Fine, I will ask Charlie if he would
like me to call Brian. When?

When I see him.

Hey, Cagney, did you hear the news?

They got a full confession from that cat
burglar that got picked up last night.

A half an hour before your homicide came
down. Congratulations, Chris. You were

right about it being a separate case.

All right. Thanks, guys.

Same guy, huh?

Huh?

Oh, I'm going to make that arrogant punk
eat that crow.

Oh, come on. Christine is just doing his
job. You can't help it. It's too good

to pass up.

So, Newman.

Sergeant Cagney.

I've been looking for you. Oh, I'll bet
you have.

Ready to admit that I was right about
the cat burglar, huh?

It couldn't have happened to a better
cop.

Cagney, I salute you.

What?

You had it pegged right from the start.
Every time I think I'm getting this

down, it takes one of you old -timers
with all your years in the J .O .B. to

come along and show me the ropes.

Thank you, Sergeant.

I really mean that.

I got page two. You want to look at it?

She was smothered.

Probably with a pillow while she was
sleeping.

Burglar smothered her, huh?

No, I don't think so, Lieutenant.

There was an electrical cord tied around
her neck indicating that she'd been

strangled. Now, what kind of a burglar
would go in, smother some poor old

and then tie a cord around her neck
pretending he'd strangled her? On top of

that, so Mrs. O 'Connell was bedridden
completely. She couldn't have gotten out

of bed.

The family never mentioned us. She was
bedridden.

If it hadn't been in the ME's report, we
wouldn't have known.

Also, we have a report from a neighbor
saying that the husband and the wife

fought all the time over her mother. Mr.
Kelly walked out on the marriage for a

time. Yeah.

There wasn't much money either. As a
matter of fact, Mrs. Kelly quit her

secretarial job to nurse the mother,
which gave me less money.

So they hardly ever went out. I mean, it
was like living in a hospital ward.

I see where you're going. So you don't
think there was any burglar at all?

You want the clincher?

The television.

They left her watching television.

And now you lost me.

Frank Kelly said when he came back at
the end of the evening, he went in to

check on her. And he said he couldn't
see any electrical cord around her neck

because there was no light.

But if the television was on, there was
light.

And if it was off, who turned it off?

Not a burglar. He would have wanted the
noise.

And the old woman didn't do it. She was
bedridden.

Remote control?

No. They had a 12 -year -old portable
set. No remote control.

So either the set was on or Frank Kelly
is lying about the electrical cord. It

doesn't make sense either since she was
smothered.

Or somebody else went in, not a burglar,
and turned the set off.

The only likely people.

The Kellys.

Domestic violence.

Yes, sir.

And someone in the family.

This is Kelly.

We were at the funeral home, the
viewing.

Oh, we picked a bad time.

I'm sorry.

May we come in?

Do you have to?

Look, we could come back tomorrow, but
if we could tie up these loose ends here

today, then maybe we wouldn't have to
bother you anymore.

Mostly for the paperwork.

I understand.

Excuse me. Terry.

Frankie, take the coats in the bedroom,
okay?

Would you like some coffee?

No, no, thank you. No, don't put
yourself in any trouble.

You're the one that should be taken care
of now. You've been through a lot.

Yeah, it's been pretty tough around
here.

Tough?

Taking care of your mother, then losing
her like that? That's got to be a shock.

It'll take some time.

Still, ma 'am, and, uh...

I hope you don't take this wrong, but in
some ways, it has to be a relief, too.

What are you saying?

Well, she was a very sick woman. You
know, very frail, confined to her bed.

After the stroke.

So I could imagine what that's like.

I mean, the doctors are big heroes,
right?

With their tubes and medicine, machines.

I mean, I wonder sometimes if they're
really doing anybody a favor.

Sometimes I think maybe it'd be kind of
just to let them go.

That's true.

It wasn't any great blessing to keep her
alive.

Uh -huh.

Must have been quite a strain for you.

I understand you and Mrs. Kelly
separated for a while.

That's right.

Did it have anything to do with her
mother -in -law living here?

There was no problem.

Frank and my mother got along fine.

So why'd you leave?

You've got no right to butt into our
personal business like this. Oh, we're

sorry, Mr. Kelly, but sometimes
questions like these are necessary.

We separated for personal reasons, but
it had nothing to do with Megan's

But you said it was tough.

Yeah.

Mr. Kelly, there was one thing that I
don't understand, sir.

Your mother -in -law was confined to her
bed.

That's right.

And the burglar stole money from her
pocketbook.

If she never left the apartment, what
was she doing with $300 in her

And why would she wear a gold necklace
in bed?

My mother found it difficult to deal
with her helplessness.

She was always such a strong woman,
always caring for everyone.

Without a way of humoring her.

Mr. Kelly, you told me that when you
looked in on your mother -in -law, the

television set was turned off.

Mrs. Kelly has told my partner here that
the television set was left on and Mrs.

O 'Connell would have something to look
at while you were all gone.

So who turned the television back off
again?

Frankie, I told you not to play that
music.

Why are you asking us all this? Maybe I
was mistaken.

And why was there an electrical cord
tied around your mother's neck when

already been smothered? We're not
answering any more of your questions

have a lawyer.

I'm telling you, the man murdered his
wife's mother, and she's not willing to

admit it. Now, either she's trying to
protect him for some reason, or she's

afraid. I don't know.

Yeah, but that's a hunch, Cagney.

You're asking me to go out on a limb.

Hey, you owe us one, Feldberg. As a
matter of fact, you owe us a couple of

All I'm asking is permission to bring
them in as material witnesses.

All?

That's all? If I can get hold of the
wife, I think I can break her. She just

needs pushing. She needs reminding that
this man has murdered her mother.

Oh, I see. Oh, that's terrific.

That's terrific. So I'm supposed to go
up in front of a judge. Or at least

convince her she doesn't have to be
afraid.

And I'm supposed to say that we want to
bring someone in so that we can browbeat

her into implicating her husband.

I don't know what else to do. Do you?

What if she did it?

No, everything points to the husband.

Look, look, this is all circumstantial.
It won't fly.

Now, if you wouldn't mind clearing out
of my office, I have a date with a very

tall, beautiful...

Blonde lady whom I am meeting in 45
minutes for drinks at the plaza. And if

lucky, we may never leave the hotel.

Feldberg, that's wonderful, really. And
I do know that a successful seduction is

probably an historic occasion in your
life. Mr. Feldberg, this is not a

expedition. My partner has a pretty good
idea here. Oh, well, well, good for

her. An historic occasion in her life.

Ah, look,

Feldberg.

I'll can the smart mouth if you will,
all right?

I really think I can pull this off.
Otherwise, Frank Kelly walks.

Funerals tomorrow?

Yes, sir, in the morning.

You know, if they challenge this in
court, we don't have a chance in the

Hey, you got a better idea? I'm open.

Okay, okay. Maybe I can get this by
Judge Medavoy.

Let him bury the old lady.

Pick him up afterward.

Great. We pick up the papers.

Depends on the blonde.

See you at 8.

Could get lucky.

See you at 7.

This kind of performance reflects well
on the whole squad.

Tying those burglaries into the guy that
the 126 got out in Staten Island, that

was a good piece of solid investigative
work. And even though they're getting

the collar...

It's something I'm not going to forget.

Thank you, boss, but it really wasn't
all that special. Come on now, no need

be modest.

Actually,

there were one or two tricky moments
with this guy. He kept claiming some

dude sold him the tie pack.

Got me in asses.

Huh? I think I'm going to be sick.

I'll let it go, Christine.

He did good work. He deserves some
credit.

What are you doing?

I'm going home.

We've got some other angles we haven't
worked on yet, Mary Beth. We haven't

the theater with the Kellys. We got off
shift 17 minutes ago.

Yeah. I know this is hard for you to
believe, but it's been a very long day,

I still have another life. It's called a
family.

I got one husband, two children, another
one on the way.

And as I remember, you also have a
family. He happens to be in the

Leave it go for tonight, okay?

It'll all still be here in the morning,
Christine, and I don't want to discuss

it.

Good night.

Say hi to Charlie for me.

I heard you were having some problems.

Beg your pardon?

With your case. I was just wondering if
you needed any help, because I'm free

now.

Oh, thank you, Newt. Unofficially, of
course, because when I break this case,

I'll still let you have your call.

Sergeant.

Oh, thank you, Detective.

Tell you what, why don't you let me
check back with you when hell freezes

Excuse me, please. Thank you.

Oh. I'm sorry.

What time is it?

Dinner's ready.

Oh.

I'm sorry, baby.

You want to go back to sleep?

No.

I was the only breath in my eyes.

That looks good.

I thought you weren't going to be
working these long hours anymore.

What happened to clerical duty? Oh, boy.
I hate clerical duty.

Paperwork up to my eyebrows and typing
my fingers down to nubs.

I became a cop in the first place so I
wouldn't have to type.

Yeah, because it paid $50 more than a
secretary's job.

That too? Mm -hmm.

Now, clerical work, you get off your
feet, be home at five.

Get yourself some decent sleep.

Soon, okay?

Mm -hmm.

I... I don't feel right about doing that
to Chris now.

Chris? She can take care of herself.

I want you to eat your green beans.

No. She can't right now, Horv.

Not with her dad in the hospital.

This case we're on is making her crazy.
I thought it only made you crazy.

I do.

She just hides it better.

I mean, a case like this... to help this
old lady get

murdered... makes you start to think
weird stuff.

Charlie's gonna be okay.

Yeah, sure.

For now.

But he's sick, you know. Not getting any
younger.

I'm part of Christine and still her
daddy's little girl.

She wants to believe he's gonna be
healthy forever.

Live forever.

Gather to see him like this.

Did you say that?

You know Christine. What do you think?

I think I'm gonna get you some salad.

You don't eat enough greens.

I hate green food.

I take it you're feeling better.

Huh?

Feeling better.

It came from Newman.

He came by to see me, sir. He thought it
might cheer me up.

Detective Newman?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Tommy Lafford, he brought him down to
funerals a while back. We played a

of rounds of pool.

He got Newman. Newman's a sharp kid.

Yeah. He thinks so. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh.

Hey,

I... Hey, you got a tough homicide on
your hands.

No, Pop, I don't want to talk about my
work.

Oh, since when, huh?

Old lady, huh?

Probably somebody in the family after.

You got a motive yet?

No, we don't know yet.

Oh, come on, Chrissy, don't do that to
me.

Newman told me all about it.

She's bedridden, family's going to hell,
so one of them killed her.

What's the matter, didn't you think I'd
be able to...

take hearing about that? Oh, Pop, it's
just that I know you have so much on

mind, I didn't want to bother you. Oh,
that's the biggest, biggest bunch of

garbage I ever heard.

People think you're old.

First thing that happens, they start
treating you different.

Even the ones that ought to know better
do it.

I am not going to go like that. Do you
hear me?

Chrissy, Chrissy, I want you to promise
me something.

Charlie. I don't want to. own your life
and have you end up hating me? I don't

hate you, Papa.

Chrissy, before it goes too far, before
it comes to that, just

hand me my gun and let me end it myself.
Charlie, I don't want you talking this

way. What a little dignity.

Do you understand?

Daddy, I'm just overreacting.

The doctor says that you're going to be
all right. Yeah, for now.

And then...

Then what happens?

He's going to sleep, Papa.

Oh, Chrissie.

We are confident with all who have died
in Christ.

She will be raised to life on the last
day and live with Christ forever.

We thank you for all the blessings you
gave her in this life to show your

fatherly care for all of us and the
fellowship which is ours with the saints

Jesus Christ.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Welcome our sister to paradise and help
us to comfort each other with the

assurance of our faith until we all meet
in Christ to be with you and with our

sister forever.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

In the name of the Father.

and of the sun, and of the Holy Spirit.

I got the papers. We're taking them in.

Good.

What are you doing?

Meditation. It's good for the baby.

How's Charlie?

Fine.

Newman came by and saw him, though.
Brought him one of those dirty

Huh? Did you love that?

So what's been going on?

Nothing.

Really? How could you tell?

I don't have to watch anymore to know
what those people are doing over there.

They're burying somebody they loved.

They're burying somebody they killed.

They're grieving like you and I would.
Yeah, they're faking it.

Maybe.

One of them killed that old lady.

Maybe. I don't know.

I do.

I can't believe you're this detached.

Maybe I am.

And maybe you're too involved.

I understand why you are, Christine.

I do, but I gotta pull back.

Yesterday I thought that I could stick
it out, but today I don't know.

And look at it.

It's taken out of funeral.

My clients have refused to answer your
questions.

Because it would incriminate them? No,
because the Constitution says they

They don't need any more reason than
that.

So I believe the next step is for you to
relieve them. On a material witness

warrant, we can hold the Kellys for as
long as we want to. For as long as the

judge allows, which will be about ten
seconds.

You are hounding these unfortunate
people who have lost a loved mother on

basis of nothing more than
circumstantial evidence because you are

lazy or too incompetent to find the
real... I believe this might be of

to a number of reporters I know. Can you
hold on just one minute? We think Mr.

Kelly murdered his mother -in -law and
intimidated his wife into silence.

Sergeant Cagney, this is
unconstitutional. I'm merely trying to

know that we are offering her
protection.

You cannot talk to my client. I'm
talking to you.

He killed her mother.

And I'm trying to find out why she's
protecting him. He didn't. Mrs. Kelly?

He didn't do it.

There were fights.

It was awful with her there. Mrs. Kelly,
you're not talking to these people. But

he didn't kill her, wasn't him?

Well, if it wasn't him, then you tell me
who did it. Mrs. Kelly, please listen

to me. These people are not your
friends.

Husband is a good, good man.

Better than you'll ever know.

Can't you just leave him alone?

I'm going to file for a writ of habeas
corpus.

If my clients are not released today, I
shall institute a wrongful arrest suit

against you and the city of New York.

You saw how those two people were with
each other?

That man did not kill his wife's mother.

You know what you're saying, don't you?
It wasn't him and it wasn't Mr. Kelly.

Mary Beth, I'm talking to you.

I gotta take my vitamin. I forgot it the
last two days. Remember, as a family,

otherwise they wouldn't be covering up.
There's only one other person in the

house who has the Kellys and that old
woman.

Mary Beth.

Aw, gee, why don't they ever fix this
thing right? I'm talking to you.

How's a person supposed to take pills
without water, huh?

Slow down. I know you don't want to look
at this. I don't think it's pretty

either, but that's not gonna make it go
away.

You can listen to me or not. He's 12
years old.

See how miserable that kid was? After
the grandmother moved in with him, he

thrown out of his room, his parents
fight like cats and dogs, and the father

walks out on them for a while.

Now, you heard Frank Kelly yesterday.
How many times do you think that kid

how much better off his grandmother
would be dead? Oh, my God.

Well... That kid never went to the
movies, Mary Beth.

He was left there alone. He went into
the grandmother's bedroom with the

He's 12 years old. A 12 -year -old
murders his grandmother for what? To get

room back?

That's sick. Maybe that makes me sick.
And maybe that isn't the reason. Maybe

did it to put her out of her misery.

Maybe he did it to... Because he thought
everybody would be better off if she

died in her sleep.

I don't know.

But I do know, and I know you know too,
that he's the only one who could have

done it.

So I'm calling Feldberg.

Chris, wait. I told Harvey last night I
was going to hang him for you, but I

can't.

I'm going on clerical duty. Let's talk
about that later, all right? I don't

to talk about it. I made up my mind.

I thought I could separate myself from
the work, and I can't do it, not while

I'm on the street.

If it's getting to me, Christine, it's
getting to my baby, too.

I care about you, and I... I care about
the work.

But I got to keep a balance.

You know what I mean?

Do you understand me?

Chris.

Yeah, I understand.

You want to call Felber?

In a minute. The kid's not going to go
anywhere.

I'm just going to sit down.

Sorry.

I won't let you down Charlie.

I promise.

Yes, operator.

I'd like to place a person to person
call to Mr. Brian Cagney in Los Angeles.
