Original subtitles

The man is your father? On a piece of paper at some city hall, maybe. Said he

wanted to see his daughter.

Oh, is that right, huh? Where's he been for the last 30 years?

You're not even curious?

I can't hear you!

If your father walks away empty, you may never hear from him again.

That would be nice. Oh, you don't mean that. Don't tell me what I mean! Might

nice for them to have something they never had. A grandfather, I mean! Dad!

Don't you dare tell them about him! Is Dad coming back?

Why would you think he wouldn't? Your dad didn't. You're angry at your father!

And I am not going to take the rap.

Mr. Brennan, when you were arrested, were you on a weekend pass?

What were you doing in that hotel room?

Where'd you get the cocaine?

Were you going to use it?

Were you going to sell it?

You trying to protect someone?

Why won't you answer my questions?

No offense, ma 'am.

But I don't think I want to talk to you anymore.

Yes, you're starting to repeat yourself.

Maybe it looks like he's guilty, but I know he's not. The kid was caught in a

hotel room with three brands of cocaine.

To top it all off, we won't talk to his lawyer, his family, or anybody else. I

was hoping as a cop you'd succeed where we failed.

Hey! I tried, all right. I think he's scared.

Well, I think he has every reason to be.

I just don't believe that Andy Brennan could be doing coke.

But is it that belief that's making an ACLU lawyer take a drug case? His

grandfather and my father were army buddies.

So you're doing it as a favor? No, I'm doing this because I believe he's

innocent. Well, you're the only one who does, David.

Plead him out.

Chris. He won't make a guilty plea.

He's a couple of months before graduation.

They kick him out of school.

Well, then there's not much you can do with a hard head like that, is there?

Unless you know another hard head who might get through to him.

Are you trying to charm me?

Will you just talk to his grandfather with me tomorrow? After Andy's

arraignment, I need somebody who is more objective, who's done investigative

work. I'm flattered. I also have cases of my own.

I can make it worth your while.

It's not even in my precinct. I could be later.

We could go to a movie, have some dinner.

Tonight I am going to Queens and I'm taking pictures of my partner's family.

What are you doing afterwards?

I don't know.

What am I doing afterwards?

Don't touch it.

Harvey Jr., I've seen you look a lot sexier than that. It's a family

Christine.

Why don't you get in there with the rest of them? Come on, Mrs. Lacey.

Muriel, please.

Come be in the picture.

Maybe next time.

Mary Beth, can you get Alice to smile? In a month or two, she'll smile. In a

minute or two, she'll cry. Snap the picture.

Okay?

Good. One more.

There. Perfect.

Can we go now? Go, go. Get out of here.

Who's idea was it to have kids? Yours or mine?

What are you doing?

When I'm lonely, this will remind me of family life and life.

Let me take her here.

You'll keep your woman alone with your friend.

Come, come to Grandma. Come to Grandma, my little angel. Oh, my little angel.

Gotcha, Muriel.

Want some coffee?

Yeah. This is Mary Beth.

That West Point cadet I was talking to you about?

David wants to help you investigate the case. She gained five ounces because you

saw her lift.

I beg your pardon?

Twelve whole pounds she weighed. Can't believe it.

Well, she carries it very well.

Mary Beth, are you listening to me? I think the kid's guilty as hell.

Warm -up formula.

Thank you, sweetheart.

She's 24 inches long, Christine. That's in the upper 85th percentile. Well,

maybe she'll be a basketball player.

I wouldn't mind.

Bob Jr. and Michael would love it.

Al, they call her. You give her a nice name like Alice Christine, they call her

Al.

Dr. Margaret, are you really going to come back on Monday?

Yeah, I still have to get my doctors okay, and we have to re -qualify for

firearms. We do that Thursday, right?

Yeah, yeah, I've got it in my calendar.

Good. You want to go look at her?

I just saw her.

She's beautiful.

With the possible exception of myself, she's probably the prettiest baby I've

ever seen.

You really should see her when she's eating.

I have.

Not recently.

She's very active now when she eats. You want to go see?

Well, uh, maybe some other time. Tonight.

I've got to, uh, write some letters and return some phone calls and pay some

bills. You know how it is. Well, if you have to go, you have to go. Yeah.

Thanks for coming and doing the pictures. Oh, I was glad to help out.

to you later.

Goodbye, Barb.

Bye, Chris.

See ya. Bye.

Look at that face.

She does have a perfect, beautiful face, huh?

Your mother'd be happy the baby has her name.

She'd be happy knowing I had a daughter.

Oh, I always wanted a daughter. My mother always used to say, I hope

know how hard it is raising a girl.

And now someday I will.

So I'll be coming each day at 7 .15 if that seems right to you.

You better get used to it, my Alice.

You got a working mother.

If I got used to it, so will she.

Okay. You look tired, dear. I am tired.

Yeah, and I'm about to get tired of... Why didn't you let me give her her bath?

Oh, no, we're doing fine. Thank you, Muriel.

Can I get her bottle?

Her daddy's doing that for her.

Yeah.

You know something, Alice?

Anytime my mother cried, I cried too. I don't know what it was.

Yeah.

Nobody else did that to me. Not your daddy, not your brothers.

And I love you guys as much as I did her. Probably more.

Yeah.

But seeing my mother cry always broke me up.

Oh, I guess Grandma had other things to do.

Yes. Someday you'll have other things to do, too.

Retired after 35 years.

Good years in service.

And all that. time, I never had one black officer.

Army's integrated now, but it really meant something that my grandson was

to go to West Point and become an officer.

And he used to take his weekend passes with you?

Ever since his parents died.

For the last four months, he's been staying in the city. Do you know why?

There's a whole lot to explore in New York.

Do you know where he goes, what he does?

Who his friends are?

All I know is that Andrew is innocent.

If I wasn't sure of that, I would have never posted this bail.

Did he tell you anything about this?

He told me it was all a terrible mistake.

With all due respect, Bob, would Andy lie to you to reassure you because he

loved you?

A cadet is bound by the honor code.

He doesn't lie, cheat, or steal.

Sergeant Major Brennan, if your grandson is involved in drugs, maybe the honor

code doesn't mean anything to him anymore.

You don't become a sergeant major in the United States Army without being a good

judge of character.

I'm telling you that my grandson, Andrew, does not use drugs.

Come on, Coleman, it's not exactly the same secret. You know, all we want to

know is who won the Lacey Baby Cronella. A bookmaker is like a priest. My lips

are sealed.

Coleman, in magazine sweepstakes, you just send in a self -addressed stamped

envelope, and they send you back the winner. You can send as many envelopes

as you want. I am not telling you who won the dough. If the winner wants to

you, that's his prerogative.

His. He said his, and that eliminates Cagney.

What eliminates Cagney? We're trying to find out who won the Lacey Baby

Cronella.

Is crime at a standstill?

Come on, Cagney, it's not like it's the only thing we're doing. I am also trying

to find a date for tomorrow night.

I'm going to find out who won the bet. You'll be the first to know. If Becky

gets a date, I don't want to know.

Thanks,

Petrie.

Cagney. I need your help.

There's a man in my office. I told him he should talk to you that...

You may know more about this, or at least you would know how to handle it.

bottom line is, I don't want to deal with it. So I'm going to tell him that

turning it over to you.

Lieutenant,

would you like to brief me first? I mean, this may seem silly, but I tend to

a little upset to screw things up if I have a vague idea of what's going on.

That man in my office is looking for his daughter.

A missing person?

That's so depressing.

Give it to Newman.

Well, no, maybe this one will be different, you see. He says he hasn't

daughter in 30 years.

Then maybe it's best if we turn it over to missing persons.

Normally I would, but this is a special situation.

They all think that, Lieutenant.

His daughter has married Beth Lacey.

He

really

went back to the old neighborhood, huh?

Apparently.

All they knew was that she was a cop now and married to a man named Lacey.

You didn't give him a phone number or address, did you? No, I gave him

Martin's Bisky.

When I ask about him, she always clams up.

He told me he left when she was eight years old.

I don't know much more, Chris.

You know, Harvey, he seemed like a nice man.

Oh, yeah?

Well, Hitler had a hell of a smile, too.

He came back, Harvey.

After all these years. I wonder what the guy wants.

He said he wanted to see his daughter.

Oh, is that right?

Where's he been for the last 30 years?

I mean, a man walks out on his family.

What kind of a man is that?

Look, Harvey, he said he wanted Mary Beth to have this.

He'll be at the Beaumont for a check -out time Friday.

I'll tell her her father's trying to see her.

I think she already knows that Harvey... What?

Said he wrote her three letters.

Sent them to the precinct.

She never told me.

She sent them back unopened.

Moved. No forwarding address.

He had no right to go to you, that bastard.

He went to the precinct.

He gave this to Chris to give to you.

He's staying there till checkout time Friday.

Hey, Beth, are you going to ignore this like you did those letters?

I'll go check the baby and go to bed. Just tell me why you didn't tell me that

he was writing you.

It didn't interest me.

And I didn't think that it would interest you.

Come on, baby. Tell him you were not even curious.

When I was a little kid, I was curious.

I was curious why he left us.

I used to think about it a lot.

And then I stopped.

And I am not going to start again now.

Mary Beth, I hate him for hurting you.

But there is more to consider here.

Not for me. Mary Beth, the man is your father.

On a piece of paper at some city hall, maybe.

Nowhere else.

Saturday is a low -occupancy night, so the hotel encourages West Pointers to

stay here by offering special rates.

What'd you get?

Well, Andrew Brennan registered a loan, made no phone calls, charged nothing to

his room, and had no visitors.

I thought you said a single room was $55 a night.

Yeah, a weekend special.

Seems you overcharged Mr. Brennan for his room.

Hey, it happens.

What do you want us to do about it? Have a refund waiting for him at Rikers

Island?

Let's see the room.

The music was on, very loud. We called up, nothing.

Knocked on the door, still no answer.

So, I used my passkey.

The police report said the place was in shambles. The guy was coked to the

gills. Look what he did to this mirror, huh?

When I come in, he's down on his knees, trying to gather up all this white

powder off the rug.

Well, the...

Blood test showed no sign of drugs. Is there a chance that there was someone

else in this room here with him?

Like I said, he registered alone.

That's the only door. So where would anybody else go?

Out the windows.

Uh -uh.

They're medically sealed.

Could the cocaine have been in here before the cadet checked in?

Oh, sure.

Some duty. The $500 worth of cocaine lying around the room. Come on, honey.

long have you been a cop?

The kid's guilty of sin.

Don't call me honey.

Thanks.

That honor code says that a cadet cannot lie, cheat, or steal. It says nothing

about snorting. I need basil.

Where's your basil? David, you're not listening to me. I don't have to.

Everything you're saying, you've been saying. So where the hell do you keep

basil? I would try the spice rack.

Why don't you face the facts and clean them out?

Most of the time, I end up defending people who are guilty.

I know it.

The cops know it. The judge knows it.

It's my job to protect their rights. Only this time, this once, I have a

who I know is innocent, and I want to prove it.

I'd like to help you prove it.

But the fact is, you have a client who was caught red -handed. He won't even

defend himself, for God's sake. Oh, Chris.

Well, you've got nothing going for you, but...

Family loyalty and some pig -headed conviction, the kid's clean.

So you think I should give up the case?

I think maybe you should just get away from it.

Maybe you're right.

How about tomorrow?

We both take the day off.

You and me?

Yeah.

Well, they owe me a few days.

I'll take you to this beautiful place I know upstate.

I understand why Mr.

Keeler is here to see Cadet Brennan.

I'm not quite so sure why Sergeant Cagney is here to see his roommate.

Why else would I go to the country?

Excuse me?

It's a background investigation, Major.

I have to tell you I couldn't be more surprised by the accusation.

Mr. Brennan happens to be one of the finest cadets we have at the academy.

Mr. Brenner reports his order, sir.

Mr. Redding reports his order, sir.

There's no way that my roommate used drugs at the academy.

Everything is unlocked and open for inspection at all times. There is no way

could hide it.

And I don't think Andy used drugs in the city either.

Not that kind of guy.

Please.

Thank you, ma 'am.

How'd your roommate spend his weekend?

Doesn't talk about himself that much.

But I figured he took a hotel room instead of going to his grandfather's

used to because he had a girl.

I would have assumed you cadets were pure of heart and all that.

No, ma 'am. You got us confused with the Boy Scouts.

See, there's not much we can't do just as long as we don't lie about it.

I see.

Well, your roommate had a single room.

There goes my girlfriend theory.

Think you might have smuggled her in?

No, ma 'am.

That would be a violation of the honor code.

It would be stealing.

What about explaining this honor code to me?

I thought we'd do some skiing while we were up there. I still don't understand

why we had to come back right away. I got a hunch.

I checked with the weekend clerk.

The cadet in question did request a double room.

But there was a mix -up in reservations.

We only had a single available.

Cadet Brennan accepted the single, but insisted upon paying for a double room.

Why would he do that?

Excuse us just one moment. Thank you.

Remember in college when you paid for one room and 14 kids would pile in and

sleep on the floor? Yeah, sure.

Well, cadets can't do that. Their honor code won't allow it.

If you pay for a room for one, only one person can sleep in it. If a second

person sleeps in it without paying, that is stealing.

Andrew Brennan paid extra for the room because someone was going to spend the

night with him.

So now you think he's innocent.

I think there's a chance.

I don't play my records half as loud as she cries.

I will be the judge of what is too loud in this house. Both of you screaming is

too loud.

Hey, open up, it's me. Don't answer the door for your father.

This is not the way the hunters were met by the gatherers, I'll tell you that.

The who?

Hunters and the gatherers. Haven't you ever heard of them? They're a rock group

from the 50s, am I right?

Excuse me, I'll get it.

Hello. Hi, Art. Hi, Chris.

How you doing?

Is she in?

I'm sorry, Chris. She's not at home.

She's making a salad and you're about to sit down to dinner, right?

Hey, you're good.

You're very good, Chris.

Thursday. Yes.

Can I trust her with a gun?

Well, if not, it's been nice knowing you, Chris.

It's at its moment.

Goodbye, Harv.

I don't like doing that.

Why does Muriel buy croutons?

Nobody here eats croutons.

So tell her.

I'll tell her.

What kept you tonight?

I... Just thought I'd stop off and buy some champagne.

What's the occasion?

Sit down, babe.

You, uh, remember the bit I did for Garibaldi?

Yes. Yes.

Saratoga Springs, here I come.

That's fantastic.

I got it. Oh.

I got it, honey.

We got it. I'm so proud of you. We got it.

That's a barn transformed into a mall.

Move over. Frank Lloyd wants his name right.

Right, yeah.

I got to leave tomorrow. I got to get a subcontractor, a crew.

Tomorrow? Yeah.

I won't even be gone for a couple of days.

Tomorrow? Yeah.

Mary Beth, it was you who wanted me to go after this job in the first place.

Yeah. So?

So it means more money towards a down payment on a house.

It also means that you'll be away from home a lot.

Yeah. My mother will be here. I'm not talking about your mother, Harvey. I'm

talking about you.

Well, I'll be gone two, three days a week for three months, maybe four.

Well, why don't you just move there, Harvey? Save yourself the travel fare. I

wouldn't want you having a wife and family interfering with your plans. My

plans? You want to eat before you go? Or you have to run?

Since when is it my plans?

Look, I don't have to go till tomorrow morning.

Oh, you have time for both dinner and breakfast?

Aren't we lucky.

You mad, Mary Beth? You're not mad at me. How about French? You're angry at

father. And I am not going to take the rap. Who asked you to?

You want to call the boys for dinner?

Yeah. You know, it might be nice for them to have something they never had. A

grandfather, I mean. Dad, don't you dare tell them about him. Why don't you at

least find out why he left like he did?

If I wanted to find out more about disappearing acts, I could read about

Houdini. Good, then don't talk to him. Stay angry the rest of your life. But

it's hurting you more than it's hurting him.

Harvey!

I am not about to dismiss a dead -bang case just because some jerk overpaid his

hotel bill. Come on. Even if it means ruining a kid's life?

Cocaine ruined this kid's life. Look, all I'm doing is my job, which is

prosecuting drug offenders.

And getting a whole lot of publicity for it, too, huh, Strickland? Some

headline, cocaine cadet snowed in at West Point. My favorite was the Tudor

saluter. Yeah, that was unfortunate.

It was.

Not to somebody whose eye is on the borough council seat, huh, Strickland?

Ignore that.

I'll give you one more chance at a plea bargain.

Cadet Brennan is protecting somebody.

Look, you two think he's innocent. I think he's guilty.

We'll see what the jury thinks.

Hey, wait a minute.

What? We get you proof positive that someone else owned the cocaine. Will you

drop the charges?

I want proof positive that someone else in tow.

Fine.

Is there any reason your grandson wouldn't want you to meet someone he's

Could it be someone of whom he thinks you might disapprove?

Not Andrew.

Maybe he's embarrassed.

Or doesn't want to embarrass you.

You mean, is he seeing a married lady?

Or is he a homosexual?

No.

Andrew was brought up with the strictest sense of what's acceptable.

In my family, anyway. Which leaves us as confused as I am. He never kept any

secrets from me.

that I've known of anyway.

But maybe that's what secrets are all about.

If I can do anything more for you, Bob, please call if anything happens.

Sergeant Major?

Cadets don't have private phones in their room. So if anyone needs to make

-distance phone calls, they have to use a telephone credit card.

Yeah? So what's the point, Cagney?

Well, if Brennan's been seeing someone for four months, Lieutenant, you know

we've called her. So I thought if we subpoenaed the records, then by process

elimination, we could figure out who she is.

Let me see if I got this straight, Captain. All right?

This isn't in your case, and in your spare time, you're aiding the defense.

Let me explain that.

Well, macrame didn't interest me.

All right, okay.

I'll give you your subpoena.

But, you know, if you've got this much spare time on your hands, Kaki, maybe I

ought to partner you with Kyvie and put you on the Benita case.

Lieutenant, no.

Unless, of course, Lacey's coming back.

You look great.

Thank you, Mark.

Well, do the things look pretty much the same around here?

I was happy to see that Quinella thing off the wall.

You don't happen to know who won, do you, Victor?

Did you miss me?

I did, actually.

Didn't I tell you how wonderful it was to have a daughter? Over and over again.

And you were right every time.

I think it was Samuel. He says he doesn't bet. Maybe he didn't. He won.

It's got to be someone who's real cheap.

Who hates to lend money?

You do.

Maybe somebody ripped you guys off?

Welcome back.

Thank you.

Have my gun and my shield.

Very good. I believe they're locked in your desk drawer, Sergeant.

If you would let me explain to you... Thank you for safeguarding my things.

I should have come to you directly.

You got that right.

But I went to Harvey, Mary Beth, because I didn't know what to say to you.

I knew what I would say to you, but I also knew what you would say back, or

you wouldn't say.

You finished?

Because I don't want to be late for the firing range.

Here. She acts like me.

You're not even curious? I can't hear you!

Don't you want to know what he looks like?

Want to know what he does for a living?

What, he asks about you? Not interested.

The hell you're not. You're dying to know.

I'm here to be qualified, not analyzed, Christine.

Go ahead.

Block out the world.

Pretend you don't care. I know you do.

You had more information on the baby Quinella than anyone else.

At least she's doctor.

Excuse me, Inspector.

Yes, can we talk, too?

Conan,

that new watch of yours is a beauty.

You like it?

Waterproof, shockproof, costs a mere $435.

What'd you do with the leftover 15 bucks?

I promised I'd run fair and square.

If only it didn't look good.

So what was I supposed to do?

I have to keep the gloatings to myself all sort of way. That does it, Coleman.

That is the last time I ever enter one of your pools.

Want a bet?

I'll take 20.

I

picked

these up at lunch today.

Thank you.

Picture of the three kids is great.

In the family portrait, I'm going to say excellent.

What do I owe you?

Nothing.

It's a present.

I don't want a present.

You can't always have what it is you want.

You developed the ones of her crying, too, huh?

Look, I know that in time you're going to forgive me, my dear.

What's it going to take for you to forgive him?

My mother used to forgive him.

And every time she did, he gave her something else to forgive him for.

When he ran out on her, he did us both a favor.

Look, I know talking to him would be hard. Good luck with your cadet,

Mary Beth, if father walks away empty, you may never hear from him again.

That would be nice.

Oh, you don't mean that. Don't tell me what I mean!

After he left, my mother went to work.

And she was gone when I got up.

And she was getting home when I was going to bed.

Weekends.

She was so tired, I would give her breakfast, I'd rub her back.

I used to read to her.

I wanted to make her life a little easier.

I couldn't make it better.

Is not seeing him going to make it better for her?

Or you?

Mary Beth, when we're kids, we make up our mind about people.

But sometimes later on we've realized that maybe we made up our minds too

I mean, as kids we thought we knew everything.

But we didn't.

Thank you for the pictures.

Look, you don't have to like him. You don't even have to forgive him.

Why not see him, talk to him?

Because he doesn't deserve it.

Sometimes you... You don't get a second chance.

Mom, mom, I can't get this. It'll look like this.

Uh, your father will be back tomorrow night. Can I wait till then?

I guess so.

Mom, is dad going to be away a lot?

A few days a week for a few months.

That's all.

But what if we need a man around and he's not here?

What, you mean like if, uh, we blow a fuse or something?

Mm -hmm.

Well, we could always call the super.

Or your father.

Let's sit down.

You were listening when you shouldn't have been listening, huh?

Mm -hmm.

Mom, is Dad coming back?

Of course.

Why would you think he wouldn't?

Your dad didn't.

Oh, Michael.

This is not the same thing at all.

Your father has gone to do a job so that we can maybe someday have a house.

He's thinking about us.

My father went away and never came back because he was the sort of person that

thought only about himself.

Your father's not like that.

I bet you think it'd be maybe neat to have a grandfather, huh?

You deserve a better one than him.

See, what my father did, walking out on us, I feel that that...

Is unforgivable.

So you don't want to see him or speak to him again?

That's right.

I hope I never do anything that's unforgivable.

Oh, baby.

You could never do anything that I wouldn't be able to forgive you for.

You're my son.

But he's your dad.

Well,

I have the phone number.

She lives at the Clara Barton Residence for Women on 10th Street. And in the

past three months, you have called there 35 times.

Now, if I have to, I can talk to every one of the 60 women who live there. It

can't be that hard to find out which one's been dating a cadet.

Look, Andy, I'm going to find the girl, and I'm going to get you out of this

mess whether you want it or not, so why don't you just give me the name, okay?

at 4 .30 this morning and drive 50 miles to talk to some stubborn kid who's

staying silent because of some outmoded sense of chivalry.

Is that what it is?

Outmoded? You're damn right that's what it is.

Then why are you protecting her?

That's what a man does for the woman he loves.

Are you going to give up your entire career for some cokehead?

Haven't you ever had anyone who loved you enough to give up everything for

You're living in another century.

Are you all that happy with this one?

I don't know what you're talking about. Well, the maid in the hotel described

you. She loves the ballet. She can always tell a dancer by the way she

Please leave.

I think the two of you had a fight in the hotel room that night because you

wouldn't give up the cocaine. Of course, nobody could hear it because the music

was so loud. Look, I've got a performance to prepare for. The coke

Now, maybe he knocked it out of your hand.

But you took off before the hotel security arrived.

And how am I doing?

I don't have to talk to you.

Well, Susan, I checked you out.

You've already got two priors.

Think you can get off on probation again?

You can't prove anything.

A conviction will ruin his career.

Don't you care about Andy?

I loved him.

He said he loved me, but not enough.

Take me home and meet his grandfather.

I was afraid what he'd say.

He hurt you, so you're hurting him.

All he'll get is suspended sentence. He will get expelled from West Point.

Do you know what that'll do to him?

He'll be ashamed of himself.

Like he's ashamed of me.

pin anything definite on the girlfriend, right?

I doubt it. Nobody noticed her.

And the cadet won't talk.

So that's it, huh?

I'm supposed to give up on a dead -bang win for a walk.

And the knowledge that you're doing the right thing and not prosecuting an

innocent man.

How will that get me?

Oh, I get it.

You've already started holding your press interviews, haven't you,

Let me get you a position.

Down with leniency on recreational drugs.

No one's above the law. I'm afraid you're going to look like a fool if you

go of the case, Ryan.

I'm not worried.

Well, you should be, because you're going to look even more like a fool if a

detective sergeant from the NYPD gets on the stand and starts testifying on

behalf of the defense.

Where would your dead -bang case be then?

For your political future.

Let me remind you, Detective Sergeant Cagney, you have no official

in this case. It's outside the 14th Precinct.

And let me remind you, Counselor, that any police officer may be subpoenaed by

any attorney for any case of which he has knowledge.

Don't you two have someone else to harass?

No.

All right, you win. I dropped the damn case.

Looked as good for you as it was for me.

I hope you enjoyed your visit, Mr. Zabriskie.

Thanks, Eddie. It's nice.

It's... It's a biscuit.

It's a biscuit. It's a biscuit.

Right, sir.

Your bill is all ready, sir. All you have to do is sign it.

Thanks. Appreciate it, Eddie.

Maybe you'll remember next time.

Thank you, sir. I sure will.

Mary Beth.

Mary Beth!

No.

Mary Beth, please.

Please.

You look so much like your mother. It startled me.

I bet you didn't know who I was, huh?

Well, I'm a little older than you remember.

This is just so you can be sure.

It's my business card.

You look a lot older.

Very beautiful.

You're the image of your mother.

Would you like to go somewhere?

We could get some lunch.

I promise I won't ask you to eat your vegetables or green food, as you used to

call it.

You're leaving. I wouldn't want to hold you up. No.

Why do you think I came here?

I have no idea.

Wait, Beth.

Your mother and I, we were young.

I didn't know what I wanted.

I kept messing up.

I couldn't handle responsibility. I couldn't accept it.

And a wife and a kid at 19?

Anybody's father.

Bad timing, huh?

And bad character.

But it's better now.

I want you to know that. I have no intention of getting to know you, okay?

Please, I'm your father.

We're family. No, we're related, is all.

Family's not what you're born into.

Family's what you make of it.

Family is what you didn't have time for.

I do now. I don't.

Please.

All right.

Would you do one thing for me?

Would you just tell me about my grandchild?

As the lieutenant said, you were on maternity leave.

My husband and I have three children, Harvey Jr., Michael, and Alice.

Alice.

That would have made her happy.

How the hell do you know what would have made her happy? Hey, Beth.

She told me that she knew she could never love anybody else.

She didn't even want to try.

A whole lot of women wasted waiting for a memory to come back.

Not me.

I don't know you.

I can't remember loving you.

I loved him so much.

And I missed him so much.

I didn't know where he was.

And I went to ask my mother, and she didn't want to talk about it.

She never wanted to talk about him.

It made her cry.

And we know what happened when she cried.

You okay, babe?

Yes.

You sound injured.

I'm not forgiving him, Hawk.

I'm not.

I know. I know.

I'm never leaving him, are you, Beth?

I know.

Thank you, Hawk.
