I didn't know your niece was coming for a visit.

Neither did I. What are you doing here?

I'm staying with a friend.

Your friend's a boy?

He's a man.

Pete and I live together.

What do you do when one of your kids springs a big surprise on you? My kids

aren't old enough for that yet. Why do you hate it that I want to be like you?

I don't.

Bridget is a very stubborn child.

A niece of yours?

You're kidding. I am trying to help you, dammit. I don't want your help.

I don't need your help.

i don't know what to do everything i think of seems wrong welcome to

We're in table six.

She reported her husband missing two days ago.

A man in his 60s. The car matches her description.

All I'm saying is, the court's going to want a positive ID.

So, we'll take Mr. Sikorsky to the morgue. I'm not the one you have to

Christine. Small caliber bullet back of the head. It's a dead giveaway if you'll

pardon the fucker.

Try your average homicide.

What is?

You can look it up.

Los Angeles has more beautiful women per square inch than any other city in

America. I didn't know your niece was coming for a visit. Neither did I. You

know, ever since Duke Wayne died, I've had this connection to the West.

Sometimes he even goes to Central Park just to smell the horses.

And Chris!

Hi!

Hi!

Hey. How are you, Mrs. Lane? I'm fine. How are you?

What are you doing here?

I'd say she's dressing up the place.

Well, it's about time somebody did.

Somehow I feel the two of you have not solved all the crime in New York. I

that's a gentle hint from our sergeant to get back to work. It was a real

pleasure.

Let's talk horses sometime, okay?

It must be fun working with those guys.

Fun, yeah.

Three -letter word doesn't describe it. What are you doing here?

When you came to L .A., you told me I should travel more, remember?

Does it?

I'm staying with a friend.

Why didn't Brian tell me you were coming? I could have gotten tickets to a

and stuff. Listen, I've got to meet my friend in about 20 minutes, but we

to know if you would have dinner with us tonight.

Let me take you two out to dinner.

Nope. It's all settled.

Dinner with us at 7 .30.

Okay.

Great. Okay, well, the address is 617 Barrows Street.

All right.

That is in the village.

Right. Number five.

Okay.

So I'll see you tonight.

Yeah. Oh, good. Oh, gosh.

Be careful out there.

Oh, and Chris, you know how my dad is, and I didn't want him to worry.

So I told him I was staying with you.

Brigid. Christine, we have a message here.

Mrs. Sikorsky, she wants to know if we found out anything about her husband.

Mrs. Sikorsky, is this your husband?

Is this Matthew Thomas Sikorsky?

Yes, it's my father.

The Corsi had to be into something, Mary Beth. Monsters only kill each other. He

was murdered.

Doesn't automatically make him dirty.

Into one we find he was.

Just because he was in a union?

That's the Corsi led his local. He had a lot of power.

And a clean reputation.

I'm telling you, we can link the Corsi to organized crime.

First we've got to find out what they had on him.

Can we stop first thing in the morning?

Fine.

Fine? You're not going to huck me to work late?

I'll even finish the DD -5 on Sikorsky.

Why?

Because tonight, I think you should be home on time.

Why?

Because there's a surprise waiting.

You know how I feel about surprises, like surprise baby showers.

Mary Beth, you've been talking about your mother -in -law being sick and how

and Harvey have been running yourself ragged between the baby and the work.

Yeah.

Well, I missed your birthday last year, and you wanted me to buy the baby many

presents, and, well, I know she's my namesake.

What exactly are you trying to tell me here, Christine? I'm trying to tell you

that you, Mary Beth Lee, are the lucky recipient for the next week of

a genuine English nanny.

My treat.

A nanny?

Audrey Lancaster, NBNA.

Excuse me?

NBNA, National British Nannies Association.

Oh, Mary Beth Lacey, NYPD.

Oh, yes, your husband told me you were a police officer. What an exciting

occupation.

Yeah, well... Mrs.

Lancaster came up right after you left this morning. I thought it must be some

mistake. She's a present from Christine.

Yeah, I called the agency and found out. How about that, huh?

What is that you're feeding her?

It's my own special recipe.

Whole wheat cereal, pureed prunes, and a touch of arrowroot for the digestion.

Oh, she never had arrowroot before, and prunes are not her favorite.

She seems quite pleased with it, Mrs. Lacey.

Hi, Nolan. Hi, sweetheart.

You were right, Mrs. Lancaster.

It was the square of the hypotenuse. Well, of course it was, Harvey.

Geometry is simply a matter of logic.

I guess I'd better start dinner.

Well, I'm not hungry, Mom. Me either.

Mrs. Lancaster made us tea. A cup of tea wrecked your appetite.

Yeah, it's what you call English high tea, Mary Beth. Tons of stuff to eat.

the army, a family marches on its stomach. And a good nanny makes sure

is well fed.

How come you never make scones, Mom?

Because I'm not exactly sure what scones are, Michael.

My dad... called you?

He called you at the police station?

I would have called him if he hadn't. What did he say?

He was not thrilled.

He said I could go to New York.

This summer with your mother?

With my mother.

When you were my age, you were in Paris by yourself.

Yeah, well, I made the mistake of bringing that up, too.

It's not costing him anything. I'm spending my own money.

Bridget, your father is upset because you left without talking to him. I left

him a note.

He didn't want to listen to anything I had to say.

So I gathered.

So I told him to use the time you're here to cool off.

Then when you go back, you two can straighten everything out.

I'm not going back.

I'm not going back to L .A.

Well, Bridget, you can't stay with your friend forever.

Pete and I live together.

Your friend's a boy?

He's a man.

old for god's sake and chris come on besides you're the one that got us

got me the wet suit i went surfing down at balboa and pete's band was playing a

gig down there sort of zoned in on each other if a

visit freaks my dad out can you imagine what he'd say if i lived here how long

did you plan on keeping this from him well i know he's gonna find out

but When he sees how happy we are, he's going to have to change his mind.

I don't think this is the best way to guarantee it.

I appreciate your advice, Aunt Chris. I really do. It's just, I think it's time

I start making my own decisions.

Hi.

Hi.

What's going on?

Good session?

Yeah. It's okay.

We still need a drummer who can stay in the groove.

This is my Aunt Chris I was telling you about.

This is Pete.

Hi, Pete.

Hiya, Chris.

We invited her to dinner, remember?

Look, I had Pete's at the studio.

Eddie and Steve are coming over to rehearse.

Oh, no problem.

We don't take up much space, do we?

Hey, Bridget, we really gotta get this song written.

We gotta do some serious jam. Listen, if this is a bad time for me to be here...

Oh, no, no, no. It's no problem, honest.

No, no.

Um, can we talk a minute?

Don't be unreasonable, come on.

Unreasonable? It's my place.

You said you wanted me here. I do.

Until you can get a job, get a place of your own.

I thought we were going to talk about that.

Um, Aunt Chris.

Look, I'm sorry.

Maybe tonight isn't a good time for dinner.

Could we do it another time? Sure, yeah.

I'll call you later, okay? All right.

I thought we were going to talk about this.

I was real up front with you, Bridget. It's kind of like we're living together.

Mrs. Sikorsky, did your husband like gambling?

No.

Did he have any big debts?

Was he an alcoholic? No. Or a youth drug?

Why are you asking these questions?

We understand that this is difficult, ma 'am, but we're interested in anybody

that might have been pressuring your husband.

Blackmailing him. Let me tell you something.

My Matt was a decent man.

He wasn't a saint, but he never did...

Any of those things you're talking about.

Well, he may not have wanted to tell you.

My husband was murdered.

Somehow, to you, that makes him guilty. Sergeant, please.

My mother's been through enough.

We're doing our job, Mrs. Sikorsky.

I'd like to lie down.

I'm afraid you'll have to talk to her when she's feeling better.

The son is very protective of the mother. Looks like a close -knit family.

Congratulations.

After lunch, I want to check Sikorsky's finance.

Okay. What do you want to eat?

Deli or the falafel stand?

Oh, I've got to meet you back at the station. I'm taking Bridget to lunch.

Oh. Is everything all right?

Yeah, it's fine.

Mary Beth, what do you do when one of your kids springs a big surprise on you?

How big?

Major. My kids aren't old enough for that yet, thank God.

Major, you're in for something.

had the plaza in mind. It would have been my treat. This is better. I can't

New York from a restaurant.

I like being in the middle of things.

Oh, you came to the right place.

Pete comes here a lot with the band. He says it puts them in touch.

Okay.

So, are we going to talk?

Absolutely.

I need your advice.

Sure, go ahead.

I can't decide if I should go to the Whitney first, the Museum of Modern Art,

And Pete says the view from the World Trade Center is really awesome.

Speaking of Pete.

I know what you're going to say.

He didn't exactly get a great first impression of him last night, but Pete's

going to be a big star. He's just got a lot of heavy stuff going down now.

Bridget, I couldn't help overhearing what you two were saying last night.

So a relationship scares him a little. Guys are like that.

Has he ever said how he feels about you?

Look.

It's Pete, love.

He wants us to live together. He just hasn't realized it yet.

Well, what if it doesn't dawn on him in the near future?

I will cross that bridge when we come to it.

I used to say that a lot, too.

But, you know, it isn't quite that easy.

I'm doing okay so far.

I think I'd take after you.

Me? Come on.

I mean...

You went to Paris for school, but you stayed because you were in love, didn't

you?

Well, that was part of it. And you handled it fine all by yourself. It was

big deal.

I don't know if fine is the right word.

There were other circumstances, Bridget, and it was a different time.

No, we need it as soon as possible. You got it, Captain.

Thank you.

Have a bunch. Loud.

Damn it, Newman. Don't you ever stop acting like a hot dog. Never. You want

get together and talk about buns?

Don't press.

All right, Newman, I'm not in the mood. Alas, neither am I, but I have something

hot for you tagging besides my body. It's certainly not your mind.

I just broke the Mannheim case. Please, no applause.

My informant also has something very interesting about a man named...

Sikorsky? Well,

well.

Things are looking up.

You only think so, Smiley. Tell them what you told me.

Hey, we made a deal about Mannheim, nothing else.

Think of it as raising your line of credit.

You're overdrawn, Smiley.

Three days ago, I overheard...

dude's talking.

They're talking about how they got paid to off this guy.

Some hard case named Sikorsky.

Exactly where did you hear this conversation?

Well, the shooting gallery on Avenue B.

These people you overheard, they were junkies?

Well, what do you think, lady?

I think junkies are not your most reliable source.

Hey, look, lady, all I know is what I heard, okay?

These big -time operators paid these dudes major bucks to make the hit.

And they had a supply of the gun.

These dudes.

Did they say what it was?

A .45?

No.

Oh,

that's my luck.

No, they talked about a .22.

Mrs. Lacey.

I hope you've had a pleasant day.

Fine, thanks.

Can I come in?

Where is everybody?

The boys were perfect angels and went to the market for me. And Mr. Lacey and

Alice Christina having a nap in the other room.

Gee,

what's cooking?

Well, Mr. Lacey seemed so tired that I said I'd prepare supper for him before I

left.

It's a Lancashire hot pot.

bubble and squeak, and bakewell tart.

Beg pardon?

Lamb stew, cabbage and potatoes, and pudding for dessert.

Oh?

Sounds delicious.

Well, I'd better be on my way. Oh, no, don't rush off.

We could have a chat.

Sit down.

I'll make you some tea. Thank you. Low tea.

Oh.

So, you're from England.

That's right. I always wanted to see Westminster Abbey.

And... The Tower of London.

Well, they're really rather damp, actually.

Which part are you from?

I beg your pardon?

Which part of England did you grow up in?

Oh, my family came from Suffolk. But, of course, I've lived on many estates as

nanny to noble families.

No kidding. Which ones?

Well, a complete resume is available at the employment agency. But I'm proud to

say that my last post was with the Countess of Hargraves.

And before that, I raised the children of the Earl of Nottingham.

Oh, where did they live?

In Nottingham.

Of course.

Nottingham. Hum. Hum.

Could you please tell me, I mean, what is it that bothers you about her?

I don't know.

I mean, she's very nice, and Lord knows she's terrific with the kids.

Yeah, so?

Something is not right.

Could you give me a hint?

Okay.

The way she does things for you and me, she sometimes straightens up even when

the kids didn't make the mess.

She cooks.

That's bad.

In England, a nanny takes care of children.

She's not a cook, and she's not a maid.

I saw it on Masterpiece television.

That's it.

That's why you think Mrs.

Lancaster is in kosher.

It's a feeling, Harvey.

I'd worry about anybody that was looking after our baby.

You know what I think, Mary Beth?

I think you've been a cop too long. I think you are suspicious of everybody.

Yesterday you come home and you tell me Matt Sikorski was dirty, a man I never

heard a bad word about in 15 years. I said maybe.

And then you come up with the idea that this nanny is Dillinger. I didn't say

the nanny was Dillinger.

I said something about her bothers me.

Good night, Mary Beth.

Yes.

How did it end with Bridget?

Damn divino.

All she wanted to do was talk about museums.

Interesting.

What did you do?

What could I do?

I recommended the Rembrandt sketches at the Met.

Dagny, I love two things about you.

Your grace under pressure and your water pressure.

Very funny, coming from a man who's all wet with no clothes on.

If you had any class, you'd get in here with me.

Agni, you are one classy broad.

No, you're excited.

Sorry to bother you so late.

I need a place to crash.

Morning. Hi.

How are you? Terrific.

The platters, they're really a trip.

Oh,

I made some herbal tea if you want some.

I don't have any herbal tea.

Well, you do now.

I had some with me.

Want to talk about it?

I'm fine.

But I am sorry I messed up your date.

Well, David and I will survive.

I wasn't too sure about you last night.

Well, you win some, you lose some.

Pete kind of got rained out.

So, the want ads are definitely the best of your.

Want ads?

Well...

I'm not qualified for much besides waitressing, but if I make enough good

I can put some away each week towards my own apartment.

Here in New York?

I probably can't afford Manhattan, but one of the guys in Pete's band told me

that Brooklyn and New Jersey are cheaper, so I wouldn't have to stay with

for more than a couple months.

A couple months?

Bridget, I don't think you've thought this thing out. I know it's an

inconvenience, but I'd be happy to help with the cooking, and I'd be happy to

pay rent. It's better of an inconvenience, honest.

What about your parents? You haven't called them. Well, I'll have to get used

the idea.

New York is where I should be right now.

So what, you're giving up Stanford altogether?

I know I'm doing the right thing.

Getting out on my own.

It's the same thing you did, Aunt Chris.

Oh, gosh.

Do you want to use the bathroom first?

No. No, go ahead.

Thanks. I want to look good for the job market.

Yes. Don't ask.

This is the Zikorsky case. You want to stick your teeth into this?

Yeah.

I can't get no major creditors.

He and Mrs. Zikorsky own their own apartment. They have savings in cash and

bonds and his pension from the union.

They're comfortable but not rich.

Looks like a dead -end crisp.

Sikorsky wasn't selling dope.

Two junkies were paid to hit him, execution style.

It's a warning to other dealers.

Sikorsky probably did business in cash.

Just make it harder, that's all.

How's it going with the nanny?

Uh, fine, Christine.

A very generous present. Thank you.

I love Mr. Twombie.

That was my nanny.

Alice seems to like Mrs. Lancaster, too.

Things are so uncomplicated at that age.

How's your niece enjoying New York?

A little different than palm trees and freeways, right?

I mean, my new roommate.

Bridget is staying with you now?

Isn't that wonderful?

The family's getting closer all the time.

Tell me.

There wasn't a guy in the union that didn't look up to Max, of course, Kitty.

I'm telling you, you're wasting your time looking for dirt on this guy.

So we've heard. Would you like to look anyway?

Well, be my guest, but I'm telling you, you won't find anything.

Not a thing.

Most of these are thank -you letters.

The favors he did people.

I bet the Godfather gets a lot of those, too.

Nobody seems to have held a grudge against him, Christine.

Maybe they didn't put it in writing, Mary Beth.

There wasn't anything in the checking account either.

No large amounts of cash, no nothing.

Sikorsky could have had other accounts.

All I'm saying is maybe we're barking up the wrong tree here. Newman's source

knew the name of the target, plus the type of gun that was used in the hit,

which was not in the papers. Newman's source could have still been mistaken.

This could mean he wasn't.

What?

Application for a loan from the Union Pension Fund dated two weeks before

Sikorsky died.

Okay?

Okay. $20 ,000.

That Sikorsky needed cash probably to pay off his drug suppliers. He had a bad

habit. It was expensive. Wait a minute. The man was over 60 years of age. I

don't buy a coke habit.

Okay, maybe he got ripped off. Maybe he was dealing, got burned.

Did Sikorsky get his loan?

It came through the day before he turned up missing, sir. The wife knows nothing

about it. It's not in any of their bank accounts.

Now, you're going to have to come up with more than that, Cagney.

Well, we have another idea, Lieutenant. It's a long shot, but we...

I want to go to the Hall of Records and check to see if Sikorsky had mortgaged

any property, and if so, who held the liens.

And the computers don't always come up with that information.

Feelers have set up dummy corporations before, so your real estate's a lot

than cash.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, it's a long shot, Cagney, but... Cagney.

Uh, yeah, would you excuse me just one minute, Lieutenant?

Wait a minute, sir. If it's all right with you... I haven't got all day.

No. Roommates are no problem.

What's happening?

Nothing. We were just discussing apartments.

I may have a leave for Bridget through a friend of mine.

Unless cockroaches are your favorite pets, I would suggest you pass.

Dagny, it is a dynamite place. Low cost, high ceilings. There's a fireplace...

If you show up on real estate, Newman, maybe you don't have enough to do.

He's looking at you, kid.

Nice sweater.

Oh, I'm sorry. I know I should have asked before I borrowed it. I wanted to

good for Pete.

I thought you and Pete had broken up.

We might be seeing each other again.

You don't look very happy about it.

My dad called.

We had a big fight.

All he can do is yell at me.

He's worried about you.

He acts like I'm two years old.

I hate it.

I hate it.

I'm never going to talk to him again.

That guy I don't have all day. I got a meeting with Nelman.

I'll be right there, Lieutenant.

Why don't I show you where the ladies' room is?

Oh, no, I'll be okay.

I didn't know you were so busy.

Bridget, look, I'll talk to you later, all right?

You gotta call my dad.

He said he was gonna come to New York and get me.

You gotta talk him out of it. Thank you, Aunt Chris.

I'll see you tonight.

The lien holder should be listed under the buyer on the deed. We file

chronologically, not alphabetically.

Great. Just great.

Don't blame me, sweetheart. I only work here. Are you saying that we...

Have to go through the records year by year and then do the same with every

other county we want to check?

You got it. But not today.

4 .30.

What?

You think we have to come back here tomorrow?

Ain't life a bear.

Good night.

I know it's a disaster area. I really spread out when I cook.

But I'm great at cleaning up.

It's a thank you dinner because you have been so great.

No, I haven't.

Oh, guess what?

I talked to Granddad.

Oh, Charlie.

You were right. He's fantastic.

He wants to show me all around New York, and he said I could crash on his sofa

whenever I got on your nerves.

Thank you.

So what did my dad have to say?

I didn't call him.

Oh, right.

Well, the rates are cheaper now. You can still reach him at his office.

I'm not going to call him, Bridget.

Well, why not?

I'm not going to run interference for you.

I thought you were on my side.

Bridget, you came to New York with this kind of romantic idea that you wanted to

do what I did.

And it's not... You didn't want anybody telling you what to do.

But you're running away.

And you're mad at your father and you... You were mad at your mother. That's

what my dad said. That's why you left.

My loss.

Didn't get along with my dad either.

My loss.

Well, we're talking about you.

Now, you say you want to be independent. You don't have a job. You don't have

any money. You have a boyfriend who may or may not want to live with you.

And you want me to call your father and explain that? I told you, he won't

listen to me.

Do you listen to him?

He cares about you, Bridget. He just doesn't want to see you hurt.

You sound just like him.

Nothing I do is good enough.

I guess I'm just a screw -up all the way around. Not true. You're scared, and I

understand that. You don't understand anything.

You're just like my parents.

Do as I say, not as I do. I am trying to help you, damn it. I don't want your

help. I don't need your help. What are you doing? I'm going to stay with

till I can get my own place.

Who the hell you are? The hell I'm not. You walk out that door, young lady.

Mrs. Lacey, I thought you had left already.

I got a little extra time this morning. I'm meeting my partner downtown.

You know, you have been so good with Michael, helping him with his reading

all.

He asked me to take him down to the library last night so he could get

one of those Rudyard Kipling books.

I was waiting for him to pick out the one he wanted, and I got a little

So I looked up the Earl of Nottingham.

I think his kids must have been a little old for you to take care of.

Since the last girl of Nottingham died in 1858, there wasn't any Countess of

Hargrave either.

Mrs. Lacey, I'm so ashamed.

I've never done anything like this in my life.

Oh, Lord.

Here, have a tissue.

Oh, thank you. A good nanny always has her own hanky.

You've been taking care of our daughter under false pretenses, Mrs. Lancaster,

and I would like to know exactly why.

It meant no harm, Mrs. Lacey. Really, I didn't.

Oh, I can show you all the references you like, all perfectly genuine, but

they're not from the peerage.

What is that, some kind of nanny clearinghouse?

The peerage is the British nobility, and I'm afraid I've never worked for them.

I cared for the children of businessmen and the professional classes.

So why did you tell me you worked for an earl?

Well, if you'll forgive me for saying so, Mrs. Lacey, most Americans are

and I was told they would never hire a woman of my age unless she had been

to the nobility.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

May I cause you, and I fully understand that you'll want to give me the sack.

What sack?

Terminate my employment.

Oh, well.

I don't think we have to go that far.

You do have references.

Oh, yes.

And you've only got two days left, anyways.

You're really very kind, Mrs. Lacey.

Besides, Alice is getting quite attached to you.

No wonder.

You're wonderful with her.

I maybe could write a recommendation myself.

I mean, we're not exactly royalty here, but the New York City Police Department

should stand for something.

I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything, ma 'am.

Ma 'am is for the Queen, Mrs. Lacey.

Why don't you just call me Audrey?

Only if you'll call me Mary Beth.

So, um... Be my guest.

Audrey, with pleasure.

Mary Beth.

So I followed her to the elevator and gave her cab fare.

Told her she'd take the subway over my dead body.

It's not funny, Mary Beth.

Bridget is a very stubborn child.

A niece of yours?

You're kidding.

Then she writes me a check for the cab fare.

Plus, quote, anything else of mine she may have used inadvertently.

Unquote.

Yeah, Harvey Jr.

once wrote of a paper saying he was tired of doing his chores and we should

a maid and he would pay us back when he graduated college.

This is a little more serious than that.

Yeah, I know.

Did she get to Charlie's okay?

Oh, fine.

She's already got him eating out of her hand.

And there's Brian.

He may show up at any minute.

You gonna call him?

I don't know what... Everything I think of seems wrong.

Welcome to parenthood.

Pay dirt, Mary Beth.

Over here, look.

Look.

March, 1981.

Sikorsky bought an office building on the east side under the name of Sick

He bought another one in July, downtown.

That's where he's hiding his drug profits.

Has to be.

You must be mistaken.

You think I wouldn't know if my husband bought a building?

Your name was listed as an officer of Fit Corp.

Your husband invested hundreds of thousands of dollars under that name,

he? We never had that kind of money. My God, you can see how we live. Your

husband mortgaged over half a million dollars worth of the corporation's

property. Do you know why?

I don't know about any corporation.

Are you denied before that your husband had a drug habit? Are you sure that that

was the truth, ma 'am? Yes.

I lived with the man for 30 years.

He loved me. He didn't lie to me. Then you must have known he was dealing

No. Matt would never touch that poison.

Sergeant, I don't like this.

Well, we either have to do it here or downtown, Mr.

Sikorsky.

Who's your husband working for?

We work for his union.

Nobody else.

Mrs. Sikorsky, we need your help to find your husband's associates, ma 'am. I

don't know what you're talking about, and I have told you that already.

Mom, it's all right.

Just take it easy.

Mr. Sikorsky, we don't like asking these. Stop it. Just stop it.

Who do you think you are? Who the hell do you think you are?

We're citizens.

We pay taxes. We have rights in this country. I mean, this is not some banana

republic, is it? You can't come in here and push my mother around like this.

I have friends, you know, high up, very high up. And I can have your job so

fast, lady, your head's going to spin.

You hear me? You think you know everything?

No, you don't know anything.

My father dealing drugs is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard.

Drug? My father?

My father was the greatest guy in the world.

The greatest guy in the world.

So what do you think, my father was someone who was keying snow?

We never considered you, Mr.

Sikorsky. You set up that phony corporation, not your father. All he did

borrow $20 ,000 to get you out of trouble.

You probably never even told him what it was for. You must have been working for

some big -time dope dealers for them to put out a contract on you. They killed

your father by mistake, didn't they? Right after he gave you the money to pay

them back. That's crazy.

Is it? Yes.

No.

No. It's the truth, isn't it?

Someone else pulled the trigger, but you killed him.

His own son.

By mistake.

Yes, sir. The son was the one who was dealing dope, and Junior owed the bosses

lot of money.

That's why he borrowed $20 ,000?

Huh? To get his kid out of trouble?

Too late, though. The hit had already been set.

They just got the wrong Sikorsky.

I want to read that report as soon as possible.

Yes, sir.

You

want

to sign this?

Oh, yeah.

Here.

We got the names from Robert Sikorsky.

We'll get those viruses that killed his father.

Keep trying to look on the mother's face.

Yeah.

I think you know your kid and he turns out to be a stranger.

It's a nightmare parents have.

There's not much paperwork left here. I'm going to take off early, okay?

That's okay by me.

I thought Charlie forgot his key.

Thanks. I'd love to come in.

Charlie went to get some Chinese food. He'll be back in a few minutes.

Look, I don't know whether or not you believe me, but I care about you.

Now, I may not be very good at this, but I think you owe me a shot.

You're right.

We are exactly alike.

You're just as pig -headed as I was.

Bridget, I like my life.

And I like the choices that I've made.

But you got the wrong idea if you think that everything was perfect.

I made mistakes.

And they were big ones.

If you quote me on that, I'll say you've lied.

I didn't think I could talk to my mother.

So I went off to Paris.

And if I could go back and change that, Bridget, I would.

Charlie was showing me pictures of her.

Why do you hate it that I want to be like you?

I don't.

I like it.

But you can't live my life.

And you can't run away from yours.

I hate it, Stan.

I'm not going back.

Then make another choice.

Get a job. Earn the money to travel.

But do it because you want something.

Not because you're running away.

I can just see you trying to tell that.

To my father.

He expects too much.

I used to think that my mother expected too much, too.

Christine, you are not living up to your potential.

Sound familiar?

Yeah. Yeah.

But I think that she did that because she loved me.

Only I didn't realize it until after she died.

Your father is a very kind man when you get to know him.

And I think that you love him a lot.

I do.

Love him.

It's just that... I don't want to give in.

But it isn't giving in.

It's growing up.

I think.

I'm sorry I lost my temper.

It's okay. It's hereditary.

I'm going to miss you when I go back.

I'm going to miss you, too.

I've gotten kind of used to having you around.

I didn't drive you crazy.

I didn't say that.

But I'll miss you.

Don't worry.

I'll be back.
