Original subtitles

What does age have to do with good sex?

Everything. What's he like?

Charming, sophisticated.

Told you I like black silk.

I'm not going to tell you that having sex is wrong, even when you're so young

yet. I feel like a jerk.

Our kids are going to be different. All we wanted was for her to just fit in.

Everybody said that it was an accident.

She never said anything about what went on in the damn house. How do you know

what they were doing? I know these girls. Now you're lying about how she

Did you hear her body hit the ground or what? Why should she kill herself? It's

a major cause of death among teenagers.

Huh? You don't know what you're missing.

So you don't want a bite? No, thank you.

Good. If you don't mind my saying so, I think Detective LaVordia is correct.

Watches his diet and look, he's 67 years old, still in the paint.

Sensible eating, Christine.

Good sex, Mary Beth. The woman he's living with is half his age.

Half his age has to do with good sex.

Everything. I want to keep a more open mind for... Oh, no.

What's wrong?

Who are you calling?

Well, I wanted to check with the kids.

Harvey Jr. and his little friend Tiffany gave up going to the basketball game

tonight so they could sit with baby Alice. Hard to believe, huh?

Hard to believe, all right.

What's that supposed to mean?

I was talking about Harvey, really.

What's his friend's name, Tiffany?

Very good. It's a well -known fact that girls grow up a little faster than boys.

What do you mean by that?

Go open the door.

Westside Campus.

Beta Epsilon Sorority House.

Investigation DOA.

Sorority House?

So much for swimming.

527 responding.

Where were you when this happened?

In the library.

Cramming for finals.

Did you hear her scream?

She didn't scream.

Did you hear her body hit the ground?

Yeah.

Were you alone?

No. Patty was with me.

Patty who?

Patty Wayne.

And what did you do?

I started to turn her over.

But Karen said she used to be pre -med. She said we shouldn't do that.

So she was still alive when you found her?

I thought so at first.

I wanted her to be.

She was all crumbled up.

All right.

Okay, we're doing fine.

Did anybody else hear her fall or see it?

No.

You sure?

Only the two of us.

We just stood here in shock.

Okay, Karen, what else happened?

I called an ambulance, and then we woke up Mrs. Tulloch.

And after that?

I called the rest of the house.

They couldn't believe it either.

I'm really tired. Can I please go now?

Miss Wayne, I know it's hard on you, losing a friend like this. The questions

have to ask aren't easy either.

Did you ever see Miss McHenry under the influence of drugs?

I don't want to talk about her anymore.

Okay?

Sit down, please.

Fifteen years as a house mother, nothing, nothing like this has ever

before.

It's like a death in the family.

These girls are like daughters to me.

Thank you, Mrs. Tulloch. We'll get back to you.

Thank you, ma 'am. Thank you. Lovely home.

Get a load of this furniture.

French Provincial or something.

Queen Anne.

Queen Anne?

Yeah.

Queen Anne.

Did you ever join a sorority? No.

My brother Brian was in a fraternity.

Me, I didn't want to do that.

I don't care what anyone says about it being an accident.

You tell me, huh? What's this kid doing up there at 10 o 'clock at night in 40

-degree weather?

It's got to be a suicide.

No suicide, no nothing in her room.

A girl like that, smart and rich, getting a degree that would write her

to anywhere, why should she kill herself?

It's a major cause of death among teenagers.

Mom. Oh.

Excuse me.

Mom, I didn't hear you come in. No, I guess you didn't.

Dad isn't home yet. I guess he's not.

Oh, brother.

Big bucks, Mary Beth.

Big bucks.

These builders, honey, they are major league.

You should have seen me, Mary Beth.

I was hot tonight.

Yeah? You're not the only one.

I guess I'm going to have to go out with the guys more often.

Like father, like son.

Hmm?

I got home tonight.

Harv Jr. and Tiffany Rinaldi were on our couch, very unbuttoned and sweaty.

Aerobics?

Come on, Mary Beth, you're not going to tell me you're shocked. I'm not talking

about shocked. I'm talking about our son.

Who was necking with his girlfriend.

Exactly. He was so embarrassed, they had to go hide in the kitchen until they

pulled themselves back together.

If I remember right, sneaking around was part of the fun.

Danger and sex, that's a...

Powerful combination.

I'm not a prude.

Harv Jr. is a growing boy. It's natural. However, we have to talk to him.

Okay.

Okay, what we'll do is talk to him.

We'll tell him to keep his hands to himself.

It's an unfortunate choice of words, Harv.

No, the minute we tell Harvey Jr. he can't be picking any apples off the

he'll run into the orchard with a bushel basket.

One of us has to talk to him about the responsibility, you know.

What all this means.

What all what means.

All this sap running through the two of them.

Sap.

Okay.

If you ask me, Mary Beth, this is a mother's job.

I'll tell you what.

You take this one, and I will teach him how to drive.

Take it easy with those doors. They're all hand -carved.

Careful now.

Watch it. Come on, guys.

This thing's to buy the French Revolution.

Let's get it to its first day in Soho. All right?

Yeah.

Yeah. Sure.

Guy. If I go to my left.

Maybe if I go to my left.

Ow!

Oh. Oh.

It's all my fault.

Oh, really? I was the clumsy one.

Excuse me. I'm Christine Cagney.

Tony Stantonopoulos, your new neighbor.

Oh.

All my bad habits are quiet ones.

How about yours?

Oh, well, that depends on how good your hearing is.

Oh, there you go. Fall back, huh?

I don't know. People still read the classics.

Another inquiring mind.

I like that.

How do you feel about Dimobiso?

Oh. Thanks.

I like black silk better.

Oh. Thank you.

Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

Have the guys smiled at their good dry cleaner?

Well, if by good you mean getting the clothes back that you put in and getting

the back clean, uh, no.

But welcome to the neighborhood.

Thanks. Sure.

Dry cleaner aside, I think I'm going to like it here.

Great.

See you later.

Christine, I already lined us up with the girl's mother and her guidance

counselor.

Christine,

hot coffee on a cold morning. You know, we drink this every day, but how often

do we really stop and taste it?

Uh -huh.

There's something you want to discuss here, Christine, and I suspect that this

something involves a man. Ah, speculation is a dangerous thing, Mary

it's different.

Yeah, did you hear about the Westchester dentist?

Okay, this guy's on a golf course, right?

He hits a hole in one, and what happens?

Lightning from above comes down, strikes this guy in the fly, and electrocutes

the poor stiff.

You see, life is full of little unpleasant surprises.

And there goes one of them.

Go, Mary Beth.

It's important we talk to her as soon as possible.

My sister just sits there, looking at pictures of Jamie Lee.

We're sorry for your loss, Mr. Garner. We'll be as brief as we can.

It's a terrible thing to lose your only child.

Worse if it's suicide.

Even worse if you blame yourself.

No matter how much you want to bet for your kids, Mary Beth, they have to want

it too.

That's a mother's grief talking, Christine. I bet a lot of girls are

about fitting in when they go to join a sorority. Sure, especially when they're

here because it's the mother's dream, not theirs.

You heard how close the mother and daughter were.

Uh -huh. I also heard the mother make sure the daughter knew all the

she'd made to send her here.

To make her uptown be beta epsilon.

A lot of pressure.

I'd say the kids could take it.

Well, I hope you're wrong, Christine.

Well, if I am, where are we, huh? The kid wasn't out on the roof to get a tan.

Braddock University class schedule?

It's for Harv Jr.

He has to be thinking about his future.

Detective Lacey?

Mr. Larkin?

This is Sergeant Tagley. You've got 12 minutes until my 1115 gets here. Sit,

sit, sit, please.

It's not a lot of books.

You're quite a reader.

Well, no, not anymore. Too busy working on my thesis, Therapeutic Psychological

Model for Independent Living. You'll like the title.

Sounds very important.

Mrs. McHenry felt for some reason you were a favorite of her daughter's. Oh,

nice, kid. Showed a lot of promise.

The mother said she thinks her four was a suicide.

What do you think, sir?

Well, it fits all the statistics.

Young adult, white, urban, high -achieving intellectual with

sometimes unrealistic expectations.

Is that a yes, Mr. Larkin? Classic prototype for teen suicide. I remember

she came in here in hysterics over her midterm grades.

Couldn't hack the competition?

Are you kidding? Straight A's. Except for B in French. She begged me to talk

professor into giving her a second test so that she could bring it up to an A.

Very neurotic.

Wait a minute.

The kid wanted another shot at doing her best work. It makes sense to me.

We're talking serious, unfulfilled dependency needs here.

An obsessive preoccupation with external validation.

So the kid is labeled a nutcase just because she wants people to notice her?

That kind of ego drive to achieve is just a cover for lack of self -esteem.

Personally, I think she had a lot of repressed anger toward her mother.

Well, thank you so much, Mr. Larkin. We wouldn't want you to be late for your

1115. Just one more thing, sir. Her mother said that she wanted to move out

the sorority. Were you aware of that? Oh, figures.

Intimate environment like that, people get too close and bam.

Bam? Bam.

Up go the defenses.

Social isolation withdraw.

Well, you know the type.

Sure, Mr. Larkin.

Thank you.

My best friend in high school, the teacher that wrote a college

the instructor at that ballet school, straight across the board. She was a

kid, but pushing too hard.

Maybe Lips Larkin's right about her being a suicide type.

Well, give me a break.

That phony shrink could get a job in the real world. You think we'd hold up that

lousy little office?

Well, maybe not.

So... What?

So, I don't care what he says.

Thank you, girl. There's too much going for it.

That's what I said last night. What did you join up?

You should put a bow on this. I mean, this is a gift.

I don't know.

Aren't you the one that thought she did herself in? Yeah, I changed my mind.

A bow would be too much, wouldn't it?

David coming to dinner?

I bet there are other men in my life besides David Keener.

Hard to keep up with you sometimes, Christine.

Don't sell me the welcome wagon.

Hope you like red.

78. That's a great year for Cabernet.

Yeah. I'd invite you into Christmas, but the glasses are still packed and much

later unfit to be inhabited.

Or cohabited, as the case may be.

Oh, I have two glasses.

Right across the hall.

You're on.

Good.

I went right to sleep, Mom.

Thank you, sweetie.

Get a chance to look at that college brochure I brought you, Harvey.

I've been busy.

Uh -huh.

Well, when you get a chance to look at it, I think you will be very impressed.

They have history of art, history of literature, history of history. I think

you'll be very impressed. They have this one class.

It's called The Romantic Poet, From Suicide to Ecstasy, where you get to

all those people you hear about on public TV.

I don't want to go to college.

What are you talking about?

I mean it. College is a waste of time.

Well, you didn't go, and you're doing okay, right? What your parents did has

nothing to do with what you were going to do, young man. Then how come Dad's

always telling me if something was good enough for him, then it's good enough

for me?

Okay, Harv, if you don't want to go to college, what is it that you do want to

do? I don't know. Something steady.

In case my wife doesn't want to work.

Okay,

I could use some help with these dishes here.

Can I watch some TV, Mom? No, Michael, you may not.

Mom, the winter carnival ball is Friday.

Afterwards, the kids are going to Maury's Diner, then over to Robert G.

O'Donnell's house.

That sounds like a very late night to me.

That's what it is, Mom, an all -nighter.

What are you going to do over at Robert G. O'Donnell's house?

Hang out.

Tiffany's parents said it was okay with them. All the other kids are doing it.

And as opposed to Bob, the other kids jumped out for brunch. You would, too?

I said no TV, Michael.

Your mother and I will talk about it.

Thank you for your help, man. Your father and I will take it from here.

Michael, close the door.

You talked to him, right?

That's what I wanted to clear up with you first. What is this little talk

supposed to be about exactly?

Protection.

Responsibility. Thinking smart.

Not taking any stupid chances.

Condoms, Harvey.

Oh, come on, honey. This is all news. I mean, any...

A kid can walk into a bowling alley, John, and get a week's supply.

Yeah, then how come there's so many young girls walking around with big

Modern girls, they know this girl. I mean, the pill's been around for 20

Mary Beth.

Oh, I see. And in 15 years, when we catch Alice on that couch, we're going

tell her the whole thing is up to her. Is that correct?

No. Okay. I'm too young to be a grandmother.

I will talk to him tomorrow. That kid is not going on any all -nighters until he

has his facts straight. Right.

Right!

And on the third floor?

I've never met any of them, except for Mrs. Wall.

Short with glasses.

Mm -hmm.

I figure she's into Siddhartha, Sid Caesar, and Sid Fisher.

How do you know that?

Oh, I'm a student of life. I was a fat kid, and I had a lot of time to sit

around and watch.

So, how do you figure me?

You like ballet?

Brahms, and baseball.

Only the Yankees. One out of three, I'd stick with Antiques if I were you.

Used furniture, my dad called it.

He wanted me in the family company.

Olive oil.

I figured it was a slippery business.

Cute, Tony.

So tell me.

Besides the witty conversation, what do you do?

You tell me.

Let's see.

You're obviously well -read, chic, sophisticated.

You're a book editor at Random House. Not even close.

You're a professor of Sanskrit at Columbia.

I'm a cop.

You're kidding.

No. So is my pop.

My mother wanted me to get married and have children and do charity work.

Boy, were we different.

I know the feeling.

Listen.

I noticed that you only had three dining room chairs.

So I decided that either you'd like to give very small dinner parties, had a

fetish for odd numbers,

Or, um, we're recently divorced.

You are a cop.

A detective.

Sergeant, actually. One quick swivel of the head and you're taken the whole lot.

Without glass.

So?

Is your, um, better half of the other three chairs?

I've never been married.

Neither have I.

Legally, anyway.

We're still, shall we say, complicated.

Yeah, getting serious can be tough.

So you don't get serious.

I have.

But being single is a challenge.

All the good men are married or gay.

Or wannabe.

Married, Abby.

I just like to keep my options open.

Wouldn't we all?

Robert, from your aunt in Tennessee.

Thanks. Morning, Sergeant. Morning. Got something for you here. Hang on.

Brooklyn Collegiate Institute.

Oh, finally. Thank you.

Isn't Lauren a little young yet? Oh, no, no. In order to get into a good

kindergarten, you have to apply a year in advance.

I believe some people start as soon as their child is born. Yes, that's all

young Republicans, Cluckers. What about a public school?

Not for my daughter. Oh, how egalitarian.

Nothing for you, Josie.

Last night you said it would be on my desk at 8 o 'clock. It is now 8 .17.

We're not on Jersey time, mister.

Well, if it isn't, you're going to hear from me.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I've got to find a new route to work.

You or don't mind. A jerk at the M .E.'s office I like to strangle.

Is everything all right at home?

Fine.

That's good news.

How's Alice Christine?

She is so curious.

Her little hands are into everything.

Yeah. And the boys?

All so curious.

How'd your new neighbor like the wine you got him?

I think Tony thought it was a gracious gesture.

Tony? Tony's a nice man.

What's he like?

Bright, charming, sophisticated.

That's what you're harping about?

Unlike some men we know.

Thank you, Sergeant Coleman.

Very bad.

Jamie Lee's bloodstream should be a .10.

She was smashed.

Time of death, approximately 9 p .m. That's an hour before they call the

paramedics.

I was so damn concerned about one of the sorority pictures. Why did we flunk the

call?

Alcohol?

Oh, yes. According to the lab report, she was blasted out of her sneakers. Oh,

no, no. There's some mistake. Alcohol is not allowed on house premises.

University regulations.

Oh, and of course you girls never broke that rule, did you?

Pretty. Pretty pictures.

How come they don't have one of Ms. McHenry here?

Well, those are house actives.

She's a pledge.

Beg your pardon?

Rookies.

Oh, I get it.

We'd also like to talk to the girl who was the big sister of Miss McKenna.

Well, you already have.

Patty Wayne.

Uh -huh.

Well, there are a couple things here, Miss Price. Excuse me.

I'm Jane Rasmussen, president of Beta Epsilon.

How do you do?

Can I help you?

Maybe.

Can you explain why your sisters waited to call the ambulance?

I don't understand.

The medical examiner had fixed her time of death nearly an hour before the phone

call. Oh, so that's what this is about.

I asked Karen to wait.

See, Jamie Lee was dead and was pretty crazy for a while.

Do you mean you didn't wake me up immediately?

Excuse me.

We know how you feel about all of us, Mrs. Tulloch.

We weren't sure how to tell you or how to tell anybody.

What exactly were you waiting for?

Look. I'm pre -law. I know what I should have done.

But notifying the proper authorities just didn't seem very important at the

time.

Everyone was really shook up.

Nobody could believe that Jamie Lee really killed herself.

I mean, suicide.

How do you think we felt?

Miss Rasmussen, when we were here night before left, everybody said that it was

an accident.

We wanted to spare her mother's feelings and Mrs. Tulloch's.

And the truth is, it just didn't look good for the house.

Karen, how did Miss McHenry get along with the other girls? Fine, just like

other pledge.

We were getting to know her, and she was getting to know us.

Sometimes it takes a while.

Any problems with her roommates? Any jealousies about boyfriends?

You mean Jason?

He's from Weinstein, that's right. Any problems?

No. And what fraternity house did he belong to?

He's GDI.

What is that?

It means damned independent. He didn't belong to any house.

Uh -huh.

And how did you and your sisters feel about that?

Our pledges make their own decisions.

Miss Price, would you say that Miss McHenry was happy here?

Jamie was more of a loner.

She... But everyone liked her. See, all we wanted was for her to just fit in.

The only thing I know is that she wouldn't go out that night because she

be at the house.

She's speaking about her sorority initiation coming up. Look, she never

anything about what went on in the damn house, and I never asked her.

How long had you and Miss McHenry been dating?

September.

We went at a fraternity rush party.

So you're an independent.

They didn't take me.

I was weeded out with the other rejects.

Wrong image, you know, I wasn't a jock and I didn't look like Robert Redford.

There's some alcohol at this party that you went to?

That's how the big men on campus impressed the plebs.

How much beer you could put under your belt.

Did Jamie leave much of her drinker?

Said she didn't like the stuff.

Why? She was drunk when she fell to her death, Mr. Weinstein. She didn't drink.

But there is a lot of things that she started doing after

she joined that house.

You sound like you have a very high opinion of Beta X. Are you kidding me?

If you don't wear the right clothes, you don't come from the right family, you

don't say what they think is cool and what they want to hear, then they don't

want you.

You have to fit their mold.

And Miss McHenryton?

She tried.

I'm telling you, Mary Beth, it makes sense.

It's got something to do with initiation.

Not an awkward thing. It's possible that boy has an axe to grind. It's also

possible that Jamie Lee McHenry was trying to impress him with the new

Only she didn't fit in, so they put her through some crazy stunt to try and

prove herself.

Maybe. And something went wrong.

You know, her system has the guts to come forward and say some music.

Code of silence.

No difference from cops protecting their own.

When you think about it.

He's in? Oh, no, no, no. Our national office and the university both take a

line on that. No, it's been discouraged for years.

It's against the law.

Sergeant, my girls love this house and everything that it stands for. This is

their home, a place to belong.

Do you think they would risk losing our charter just to pull some foolish prank?

You were sleeping.

How do you know what they were doing? I know these girls. I trust them.

Well, these girls that you trusted waited one hour before they woke you up.

you're implying is ridiculous.

I think you'd better leave.

We'll be back.

Okay, thank you.

That was legal. Judge Goble has our affidavit.

So how soon is the good judge thinking he can get off his bench and get at the

warrant? Tomorrow we can search the room, maybe.

By the end of the week, I'm sure.

I'd love to see the bill of justice and freak along.

You got a minute, Lacey?

Certainly, sir. See you, Chris.

A song by Stephen

Sondheim. Don't ask.

Just give me a minute, that's all.

I need some advice.

If I can, sir.

Yeah, I know my daughter -in -law is only four months along, but it's not too

early to get started shopping yet, is it, huh?

No, sir. Never too early to shop for a baby gift. So I was thinking maybe a

savings bond.

But I know that he couldn't use it right away, so that's when I thought diapers.

You know, the kind that you could throw away. I'd get him a six -month supply of

it.

Well, that's very practical, sir. Yeah, I thought so.

Yeah, go ahead. Speak your mind.

Well, sir, I think that your son and his wife might appreciate something that

you had picked out yourself, sir.

Something a little more personal.

Yeah?

You think they'll like this?

Is that cute?

Huh? Look at this.

Look at this.

Isn't that something?

Yeah, this plus the six -month supply of diapers.

They'll love it, sir.

I'm sure.

My son David's going to be a father.

Can't believe it.

Yeah, well, that's one I don't know about yet, sir.

And you, between you and me, I would like for them to get a little more

first.

Financially speaking.

But...

David hasn't taken my advice in a long time.

Sir, they have their own way of looking at things.

I think that kids have a hard time thinking about tomorrow.

Well, so.

I was like that, too, when I was their age.

I know better now the hard way.

I know what you mean, sir.

You always wish that your kids would learn from your mistakes, right, Lacey?

Yes, you do, sir.

Well, they'll make their own.

Yes, sir.

Thanks, Lacey.

Anytime, sir.

Very cute.

Boy,

do people sure like flowers, huh?

Looks like this poor sorority girl died in some kind of stupid hazing accident.

Kids do crazy things trying to become adults. It's not their fault, babe.

It's not her. Then whose fault is it?

Modern civilization.

The Indians had the right idea.

They had these big tribal rights that passed it from childhood to adulthood.

I mean, what do kids have nowadays to prove they've grown up? First drink,

dope, first sex. I mean, all they have is breaking the rules.

Yeah, well, what do they have for an example?

Nobody wants to be grown up. Nobody wants responsibility.

Nobody wants to lay down any rules or set any standards.

I bet you half the kids at Harvard Junior Class have parents who wear the

jeans they do.

Yeah, well, maybe they just want to look young.

Maybe they don't want to be the adults. We're talking about taking

responsibility here.

Our kids are going to be different.

These were delivered to me by mistake.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

Thank Daniel.

This is Guy Garrett, and it's back to It's Good to Be Rich.

Marjorie, you mean you actually bathe here?

Of course, Guy.

it, big boy.

Let's listen to the hand that they're giving Carter. And well -deserved. 15

21 for the field and 7 for 7 for the free throw line.

When in doubt, eat.

Can I come in?

Who's in doubt?

The cheese is from the Santucci's around the corner.

It's a killer.

I warmed up the breath.

I guess for a few minutes, sure.

I'm a person who likes to do form.

I thought we had a real head start going out in friendship.

I feel like a jerk.

Especially after I read that card.

It's not all your fault.

I told you I like black silk.

Silly me. I thought you meant on women.

Well, you did say all the good men were either married or gay.

Would things be better if I wore an earring and tighter pants?

Probably. Fettle then. I'm going shopping tomorrow.

But it's going to be up to you to explain my new look down at the gym.

Why do you have to be so attractive?

What's that, my consolation prize?

This way we don't have to wonder whether or not you still respect me in the

morning.

Would have been so convenient, too, you know?

Mm, yeah.

I know.

Could have saved all that money on taxes.

This cheese is fantastic.

Not as good as Tex, though.

For me, instead of at the moment.

Oh, you mean... Not since... Daniel.

Yeah?

Well, I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry I disappointed you.

I hope you forgive that.

Friends are so hard to find.

Especially...

Gorgeous blondes are so special.

That's a compliment, right?

From the heart.

Right.

That's it, huh?

Burning the midnight oil, huh?

I've got to do a report on Romeo and Juliet.

Oh, yeah?

What'd you think of it?

The ending's a real downer.

I've been going over the brochure from that college.

They have four different classes on Shakespeare alone.

Yeah, Mom, I told you, I don't want to go to college.

I do.

I've been thinking about going back.

You want to go back to school? Yeah.

I've been thinking about it for quite some time.

I didn't know that.

Well, there's a lot of things that you and I haven't talked about.

The other night when I came home, for instance.

Yeah. Dad already talked to me about that stuff, about being responsible.

Good. Your father is right.

Contraception is very important.

If you care enough about a girl to make love with her, you should also care

enough to keep safe.

You're a very handsome young man, Harvey. You know that?

Young girls are very vulnerable to young men like yourself.

Mom. I know what I'm talking about here, Harvey.

Before I met your father, I got pregnant.

You were almost not my firstborn, kiddo.

I was 19, and I was in love.

I thought he loved me, too, but I was wrong.

That's why I decided not to have it.

Having sex is not just your body's being close.

It's feelings, too.

That's the hard part, even for grown -ups.

And if you're not ready for that part, you can be very hurt.

I'm not going to tell you that having sex is wrong, even when you're so young

yet. But I have to tell you, I wish I would have waited.

Don't stay up too late, baby.

Was he very handsome?

I thought so

Search warrant, Mrs. Taylor.

We'll start in Miss Wayne's room.

Come on, ladies, let's go.

Feeling any better, Miss Wayne?

I'm okay.

Are you sure? Because you're very pale.

Of course, it's hard to get any color in weather like this, huh?

Even having that nice sunroof and all. I don't know what you think you'll find.

Evidence.

We believe there's a crime being committed here.

New York Penal Code 120 .16 prohibits hazing ever since

a fraternity death in 1982 upstate, or didn't they teach you that in pre -law?

Well, that's too bad, because Jamie Lee McHenry might still be alive today.

What about you, Miss Wayne?

You know what we're talking about, don't you?

Miss Tulloch, I don't think that your girls understand that we could file

charges against every single one of them.

I'd like to know what those charges are.

Reckless endangerment, hindering prosecution, conspiracy, for starters.

No, I don't think that's going to be necessary, Sergeant Cagney, because I

that Miss Wayne and Miss Price are going to want to do the right thing by their

friends.

She was your friend, wasn't she?

I mean, you didn't mean for her to get hurt, did you?

You were her big sister. She depended on you.

She trusted you and looked up to you. Now you're lying about how she died.

You're lying. Don't you owe her better than that, Patty? It was an accident.

Patty, shut up.

We didn't force her to go up there.

She wanted to prove she could do it, too.

Do what?

Walk the railing around the sunroof.

All of the other girls did it, too.

DA's going to press for charges of criminal negligence and homicide.

They get off with a slap on the wrist and a couple of years probation.

Maybe a few hundred hours of community service thrown in for good measure.

what do you think, Cagney, huh? They should do a hard time at Attica? I did

say that, Lieutenant.

I would say their behavior was careless and reckless. Yeah, well, I would say

that, too.

But do you want to tell me what kid hasn't acted that way?

Including the girl who died.

She could have said no.

Yes, sir.

They lose their house. They got records now.

They'll probably get kicked out of school. Their lives will never be the

At least they're still alive.

Super cruel things that kids put each other through, huh?

Every league has its rookies.

Yeah.

Everybody wants to fit in somewhere.

I bet I was never cut out to be a rookie.

Who was?

Oh, that was great, just great.

All right, dear, we better get down to the bus stop. All the other kids are

going to be there. Come on, you never heard of making an entrance?

Hey, you two, you're going to be the best -looking couple at the whole

My big sister helped me pick out my dress.

She's 21.

Yeah, it looks like something a 21 -year -old would wear.

Thanks. You sure you left Robbie Giordano's number? On the kitchen

Yeah, a couple of them. Double cheeseburgers on Mom and me.

Thanks, Dad.

Bye, Mr. and Mrs. Lacey.

Don't forget that phone call you promised us, young man.

I won't forget, Mom.

I love you, baby.

I love you, too, Mom.

Go ahead. Go on.

Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad.

Yeah, have fun.

Oh, baby.

What?
