All language subtitles for Cagney and Lacey s06e10 The Rapist

It's a subpoena for the prosecution to
bring Sarah Jones to trial for murder.

She killed a man.

And all the rates with that M .O.
stopped.

A vigilante is a vigilante, whether
you're in the Klan or on the force. Oh,

off it. It's a department scapegoat.
We're only trying her because she's a

You figured it wrong, that's all. If
Sarah Jones is concerned, you weren't

there. What if that slime had done that
to you?

Guilty, Lieutenant. Everybody knew it.
Well, I'm still going to give her the

right to execute him. Murder, too, is
what they're going to pin on me. Chris,

that's not fair.

You are not responsible for Sarah Jones.

At this time, Esposito, no banana chips
and no dried papaya. Even an orangutan

couldn't digest that stuff. It's about
nutrition. But suit yourself. It's your

call. And tonight for you, it's going to
be cheese -a -roos and jelly beans. And

how about some bagel chips?

Incidentally, since you're already
skimming 5 % off every pot, how about a

deck of cards? Oh, get out of town. 5 %
hardly covers my overheads. For a change

of pace, how about a deck without nudes?
It makes it very hard to concentrate.

What, am I partnered with a Philistine
now? You know what I'm partnered with,

man. Those nudes are reproductions of
world... famous arc. His cleanest face

happens to be in the Weiss mug book.

It's a bizarre coincidence.

Oh, hey, Marcus, are you in tonight or
what?

No, I'm going to be Saturday at Lawrence
Nursery School.

Oh, how nice. I always play one of the
wise guys.

Wise men?

Well, it depends on your neighborhood.

Oh, hey, Mary Beth, tonight is the youth
-type poker tourney upstairs at Casa

Manny's, and I was wondering if you and
Kagan want to join us.

I'll ask her, Susito, but I have to pick
up books for a course I'm taking.

Trying to get a jump on a sergeant,
that's what you're saying? No, Sergeant

Coleman, Shakespeare.

It's a literature course at Queens
College.

Susine or Miss Susine? Dos y dos.

Hamlet. Had to lead in a Yiddish
production when I was in high school. I

smash.

Susie, you and Cagney are up.

Where is she? I want to talk to her.

Good morning, sir. The traffic is
murder, sir. All the Christmas shoppers

all. She'll be along any minute now.
What do you think? I live on top of this

place. How come I can be here on time?

Well, practice makes perfect, they
think.

And the wisecracks, will you, Lacey?

There's a late -night grocery over on
8th Avenue that got hit last night.

And the set -up guy impersonates a
detective.

Here's a statement that the uniforms
took. You tell Cagney I want to see her

soon as she comes in.

Certainly, sir.

Perfect timing, Christine. We have a 10
-20 over on 8th, and the lieutenant

wants to see you in his office right
away.

It's a subpoena for the prosecution.

They're bringing Sarah Jones to trial
for murder.

Yeah, I know.

No one called.

What in the hell happened?

The last I heard, the DA was going to
plead her out on psychiatric grounds.

Well, now that Brass is afraid to plea
bargain, Jones, it could look like a

cover -up.

There's nothing to cover up.

She killed a rapist in self -defense. A
suspected rapist.

Brown was never convicted. He wasn't
even charged.

He was guilty, Lieutenant. Everybody
knew it. Still didn't give her the right

execute him.

He broke into her apartment, came
through the window while she was in bed.

swear to that in court?

I couldn't.

On the other hand, we do know that she
set him up.

Look, Cagney, no matter how you and I
feel about this, this is the DA's

decision.

She was working with me, Lieutenant.

It was my case.

I want to talk to the DA.

No. Nelma does not want you to do that.

But with this Glenpack scandal going on
right now, the department hasn't looked

too good in the press.

People are starting to think that we
think we're above the law.

Oh, I see.

Because them cops were dirty and were
never charged.

Well, we're just going to throw a show
trial starring Sarah Jones.

It's not that simple. I think it is,
Lieutenant.

I don't care what Nelman says. I'm going
to the DA.

Not on my time, you're not.

Now, you listen to me, Kanye. You listen
good.

You got an appointment tomorrow at 2 o
'clock with the prosecutor on this case,

and I want you to be there.

In the meantime, I want you to check the
beef that I gave Lacey, and you get on

it right now.

It stinks.

You want me to go on the stand against
Sarah?

most hostile witness they've ever seen.

DA's case doesn't hang on your
testimony, Christine.

What case?

She's the department's scapegoat.
They're only trying her because she's a

I wasn't there, but the way I understand
it, she set a trap. She got William

Brown to follow her, then she killed
him.

We found the body halfway to the bed.

According to Sarah's statement, she left
the gun under the pillow until the guy

refused to back off.

Do you call that premeditated murder?

Because Sarah Jones says it wasn't?

Sarah set herself up as bait to trap
Brown.

If she wanted to get away with murder,
she could have planted a gun on him.

Too bad she didn't.

She'd probably still be in uniform
today.

Now, there's a thought. This is our
market.

Oh, sorry.

The first guy, the one with the
detective's badge, what did he say to

He's got a tip that we're going to be
robbed.

Let it happen, he says.

We got the store covered.

I wanted the second perpetrator to come
in, sir. It was hours later, about 9

.30. I'd almost forgotten, and there he
was.

Young white guy with purple hair and a
big gun.

What kind of hair?

Right, purple.

I gave 700 bucks to a guy with purple
hair, watched him leave, then waited

a fool for some phony cop to bring me my
money back.

Well, sir, don't feel embarrassed.

Professional crooks run scams like this
on people all the time.

I'm not even sure that gun was real, but
I got a real baseball bat behind that

counter.

No, Mr. Simpson, you did the right
thing. You never want to resist a man

gun. That's easy to say.

Bottom line is, right now, some freak
with purple hair is out there partying

down with my money.

That new shower, that is something else.
Those little pulsating jets, it's

really wonderful.

Harv, look.

The notes in the margins, they're all in
French.

French? That's terrific. You spend 60
bucks to use school books and you can't

even read the graffiti in them.

Oh, I think it's romantic, Harvey. You
know, some French student that loves

Shakespeare used this book and now I'm
going to use it.

Probably says, I wonder what this guy is
writing about.

Okay,

what do you think, Harvey?

A dress?

Or a skirt and sweater. Unless I would
look too much like a college girl. Come

on, you're not going undercover, babe.

It's a thousand years since I was in a
classroom.

Believe me, nobody will know.

Harvey.

Maybe this is not the right time to
start back. What?

Commuting home takes longer.

Alice sees me less. Oh, come on, baby.
It's one night a week.

You won't be doing this the rest of your
life.

It's still okay with you?

Sure, I like college girls.

You sure?

Sure, I'm sure.

Sure, I'm sure.

Hey, I know how much you want to learn
something new.

Who knows? Maybe some of it will rub
off.

Yeah.

Well, I'll do my part.

Well, that's a splutter. Now I'm going
to have one of my detectives over here

show you the booking area.

Hey, Zach.

Sir. You please show our guests in the
booking area. Show them around the whole

place. I had a show last night,
Sergeant.

I'm wearing everything I didn't lose.

Yeah, who was the big winner? Don't ask.
Oh, come on. Don't be a crybaby. I told

you I'd front you enough money to get
you to pay that. Hey, see, you're

the same rate I'm paying.

How'd we do?

About as well as you did last night.

Yeah, well, he deals seconds or he palms
them.

Or he marks the deck. I don't know what
he does yet, but he cheats.

Christine.

He's an officer of the law. Yeah.

Bethel ran the list of police
impersonators against the list of

Anything? Nothing that would connect
them.

What about Kesselman over in Bronx,
Bunko?

Now, you see, two great deductive minds
think he is one.

I already called him.

Good. For you on two, Cagney.

Thanks.

Cagney. The phony detective and his
partner hit another grocery last night

a .m. Tonight's your tablet?

No, the guy's wife didn't call in until
this morning. I was apparently too

embarrassed that he got caught in a
scam.

We'll get right on it, sir. No rush.

Tell Sarah... Don't open up till noon.

Yes, thank you. Bye.

Don't you forget you got an appointment
downtown.

Two o 'clock, the prosecutor's office.

I made a note in my memo book. In
Redding, Lieutenant.

So where are we going?

7th Avenue near 30th, but not till noon.

Oh, good.

There was Sarah Jones' attorney.

He's over at her place, wanted to come
by for a minute, and now we have time.

You say why?

Yeah, talk about my testimony.

I may have to appear for the
prosecution. I'm damn well going to

behalf of the defense.

Ready?

You were on pregnancy leave when I was
working with Chris.

Did you have a boy or a girl? A girl.

Alice Christine.

That's so sweet, naming her after your
partner.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you.

Sorry for the interruption.

Sorry.

Okay.

So do you understand why Sarah's not
pleading self -defense?

I'm not sure.

The D .A. will try to prove that I
deliberately lured Brown to that

kill him in cold blood.

Yeah. They're going hard for second
-degree murder.

And because Sarah was on suspension at
the time of the killing, they stand a

good chance of getting it. So you're
hoping for manslaughter?

No. I'm going for an acquittal based on
the extreme emotional stress Sarah was

under at the time.

That's called an affirmative defense.

Yeah, but don't you have to prove a
direct connection between Sarah and

Or an extreme emotional stress or a
trauma between the two that could

the killing.

Will Sarah's history as a rape victim be
enough?

That and the fact that William Brown was
the man who raped me.

Interim safety told you Brown was not
the one?

That's right.

Why didn't you say that back then?

The union hired that lawyer to defend
her. I'm not going to look like a liar

front of him.

Well, she's changing her story at a
convenient time, Christine.

It's possible she didn't know what she
was saying back then.

Like her lawyer said, maybe the stress
was tearing her apart.

Excuse me, they call these sidewalks.
For a reason.

Okay?

Thank you.

You're taking an awful lot on faith
there, Chris. I said it was possible,

Beth.

Hey, maybe she was the victim who went
out after the man who raped her.

So she says.

The woman is charged with murder, too.
When a person's looking at that kind of

time, they say almost anything.

Why didn't she tell you before?

Because she's a smart cop. She knows I'm
not going to put her on an assignment

where she's emotionally involved.

Well, I'd say she was emotionally
involved. Well, hindsight is 20 -20,

Beth. She killed a man.

And all the rapes without ammo stopped,
didn't they?

He was a vicious bastard.

Charlie called it a public service
homicide.

Is that the way you want to look at it?

Sounds fair to me.

If Sarah Jones lied to you before, how
do you know she's not lying now?

So can you describe this man?

Louie! Who are you, cushioner? You're
standing in front of my tomatoes.

You're my loss leader for today. Will
you let the customers see them, please?

I don't know. This guy, he kind of
reminded me of a detective on TV.

That narrows it down.

Yeah. Which detective would that be,
sir?

Let's see.

You know this guy who's always sucking
on a lollipop?

Kotak? Yeah.

So the man was bald.

No, no.

Had a full head of hair.

Tall, thin, like a beanpole.

But like I said, he was talking about a
lollipop.

Joey! Joey, you bum! I said in the
window! In the window!

Please, you'll wait a minute. I gotta go
commit a murder.

Joey! Joey, you bum! I said in the
window!

So hits and so days.

I can't believe people fall for
scammies. Ooh.

What do you think? Vince Farrelli,
maybe?

We're still doing time and etiquette.

Okay.

So we put the word out, all the grosses
in the area.

Be on the lookout for a hairy, skinny
coat rack.

Listen, when we're through here, you
want to go back and get started on this?

Before I see the DA, I want to talk to
Sarah's ex -partner.

I got to get some stuff clear, all
right? Fine.

But I'm not working like Christine. I
got my first class tonight. That's fine.

So we'll have the night shift finish
calling the doors.

I want to be there early, get a seat in
the front row, kind of like the early

bird getting the worm.

Mary Beth would go right. Although after
all these years, I'd be happy with a

bee.

Bumblebee. Worm.

Joke?

Not even close.

Listen, Mr. Jacobs, could we move to...

Tell me about Sarah Jones, please.

Two years ago, Sarah took a leave of
absence.

And did you notice that she was
different when she came back?

You mean, did she have a sudden interest
in certain types of cases?

Did she?

Jumped on every rape call that came over
the radio.

Was there a specific type of rape, a
specific M .O. that she was interested

Yes, it was.

The same as the rape that she ended up
shooting.

Well, what did you think of that at the
time?

Oh, I get it.

You think I should have let someone
know?

You were her boss.

Why didn't you notice it?

You didn't answer my question, officer.

I just figured she wanted the powers.

Ambitious lady.

You know the type.

Maybe she was looking for someone.

Sarah claims that the man she shot was
the same man who raped her.

She told you that?

What if that slime had done that to you?

And he was still walking the streets.

You exaggerate. I did not say it like
that.

Would you like wine?

Is that an offer or a threat?

Come on. Chris, that is how you see it.

Very talented innocent.

I didn't say that she was... A victim of
the department's relentless pursuit of

a clean... She is a victim. She knew
exactly what she was doing.

That's exactly what the DA said.

You should have heard him today. He was
after blood.

She didn't trust the justice system.

She decided to take care of Brown on her
own.

Well, life sure is simple from Mount
Olympus, isn't it?

Maybe you can get us roadmaps so we can
all find our way up there. Chris, a

vigilante is a vigilante, whether you're
in the Klan or on the force. Oh, get

off it, David.

For an ACLU lawyer, you should sound
like a DA.

Now, there is no need to get nasty.

Sarah Jones was a good cop.

She's not some survivalist who goes
around blowing people away on the IRT.

She... went through hell and she made a
mistake.

And it's not your fault.

How many, Ginger?

I thought I was making this dinner.

What's wrong with together?

Nothing.

Here.

Thanks.

It's not fair, David.

The DA wants to nail her for murder.

And she does not deserve it.

I wish I could be as sure as you are.

Don't put too much in.

I won't.

That's what you always say, but you
always do.

Sorry.

How about we skip dinner and we go
straight for dessert? I mean, I've been

for a long time.

And I missed you.

Yeah?

How much?

Skip dessert and I'll show you.

I thought you were hungry.

Sex? Right, but more than sex. This play
is about love.

Shakespeare had quite a bit to say on
the subject.

So, let's begin with line 231 of
Helena's speech.

The woman in the blue sweater up front,
why don't you start?

You mean me?

Ma 'am?

Yes, and you are?

Mrs. Lacey.

Mary Beth.

Lacey. Mrs.

All right, Mrs. Lacey, why don't you
read the first four lines?

Out loud?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, I couldn't do that.

I mean, I know that we were supposed to
read the whole play, but I only got my

book last night.

And all I had time for during my lunch
hour was the first act. But it was very

interesting. Well, you're way ahead of
the game.

Helena's speech is in the first thing.

Oh.

While you look, How about the gentleman
over here on second from the end? Would

you please begin?

Starting with things base and vile. Oh,
here it is. I found it.

All right, Mrs. Lacey, go ahead.

Let me use your pen for a minute.

Okay.

Things base and vile, holding no
quantity.

Love can transpose to form and dignity.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with
the mind.

And therefore, is winged Cupid painted
blind.

Very good.

Now, what do you think that means?

Tomi?

Yes, you.

Ma 'am.

Professor, this is my first class in
nearly 20 years.

Take your time, Mrs. Lacey. I just want
to know what you think.

What I think?

Well, I think Shakespeare was talking
about people in love.

And what was he saying about love?

Oh, well, that... Sometimes when you're
in love, you don't see everything.

That's why Cupid is blind.

Of course, personally, I have never seen
a blind Cupid before.

Go on.

On? Well, is this Cupid blind to
anything in particular?

Oh, well, I think he was blind to a
person's fault.

I mean, like my husband Harvey's cousin
Maureen, when she was going to this

vacuum cleaner salesman, and he was
playing the horses all the time.

Everybody knew it, but Maureen didn't
want to see it.

That's probably wrong, huh? No, Mrs.
Lacey, that is exactly right.

So then I said, blind to the other
person's fault.

Professor Boucher, looks like voucher,
but it's pronounced Boucher like the

French say.

She said, I had a real, what was that
word?

Aptitude. That's it.

Aptitude.

Is that something?

Sounds like a setup for doing more work.

Next week, we're going to read Macbeth.

Yeah, we read that in class. Definitely
R -rated for violence.

Professor Boucher says it is the
greatest tragedy in English literature.

I saw the movie. I wasn't that
impressed.

It's William Shakespeare, Harvey.

I'll take Neil Simon any day.

Professor Boucher says we get extra
credit if we go to the Royal Shakespeare

Company. Thursday night. You want to go
with me?

No, wait a minute, babe. That night
we're supposed to go see Artie LaMotta

the Bowling Runoffs.

It's Derek Jacoby, Harvey.

One of the greatest Shakespearean actors
in the world. And this is Artie

LaMotta, the best bowler in Queens.

Well, you don't want to miss that, then.

But I don't think that Artie's going to
care if I show up or not.

Where do you see the witches, Mom?
They're very Stephen King. Hey, come on,

Beth. You know how much Fran and the
other wives love having you there?

Harvey, Professor Boucher says that this
is a once -in -a -lifetime experience.

Well, if Professor Boucher said it, I
guess that's that.

Oh. Don't worry, babe. I'll have Mom
watch Alice. I will take the boys with

You are covered, babe.

you go, Coleman.

Congratulations.

You're lucky with Miss Kitty, what?

Oh, Mary Frances Mahoney's about to
become the new Mrs. Manuel Esposito.

my condolences to Miss Mahoney. Yeah,
thanks. Here you go, Marcus. One for the

wife and kid.

I didn't know you two were serious.

Yes, she's my main squeeze. She is my
reason for living.

You never mentioned her before
yesterday.

We just met her last week. Well, I've
known her husband for years.

So if anybody fitting that description
comes in, Mr. Moskowitz, you call us

immediately.

Detective Lacey, 14th Precinct. Red for
the brunette, huh?

And blue for the blonde.

It's not my style.

Even if I'm not here... Live a little
bit. I'm getting married here.

Yes. You're a kid.

Yes. Third time's a charm, eh?

You're welcome, Mr. Moskowitz. Well, I'm
going to keep on going until I get it

right, you know what I mean? Hey,
congratulations.

Thank you, Mary Beth. Thank you. Thank
you.

Yes, that's right.

What's your address, please?

Uh -huh.

Yes, no, we'll be there.

Yes, we'll be there. Thank you.

Pagers, White Line Market, 484 8th
Avenue.

Great, thanks for picking up.

You want yours?

Probably like Prince Can -Can looking.

I bet you got the legs to show them off.

This is true.

Yes, Cagney.

Hi, Sarah.

Uh, no, I can't tonight. I'm working.

Mm -hmm.

Uh, yeah, tomorrow would be fine.

Okay, Sarah, I'll talk to you then.

Did I say anything?

You didn't have to.

Okay.

Reindeer with a red nose or angel with a
broken wing?

I'm cookied out.

Me too.

Take the rest of these home for the
boys.

Remember how you used to feel the first
day of school?

All excited.

Butterflies doing swan dives in your
stomach.

Like something big is about to happen,
but you don't know what it is.

I used to feel that way about men.

We've been here three hours.

Maybe they're taking a late movie on the
way.

Car 21, come in, please.

Car 21, Cagney.

Howie's Market, 39th and 7th, just got a
call from your perp. Expects to be hit

momentarily.

Sounds like they decided to take it far,
but no effort.

Dispatch another unit. We're getting
tight.

We're nine blocks away. Let's take it.

I bet the guy told the store owner that
the burglary was going down here

tonight. Well, maybe they got wise that
we were moving in.

And maybe the tooth fairy really does
live at the South Pole.

You want this collar or not?

Well, they don't call. They do it in
person.

Two, the bogey cop sets it up in the
afternoon.

Three, they could have changed their M
.O. And I'm telling you, they're just

trying to draw us off. Well, we're
sitting here arguing. The deal could be

down, Sergeant. We're not moving.

Yes, sir.

So they never showed?

No, sir, not in either place.

I talked to the owner at our stakeout,
and there's no question that they

contacted him.

You think it's worth another shot?

Absolutely. Carrasco and Esposito are
going to watch the other store.

I was speaking with Detective Lacey.

The sergeant thinks it is, sir?

Well, if I'm going to pull another team
off the chart, she better be right.

Yes, Lieutenant.

Cagney? Yes, Lieutenant?

I want to talk to you a minute.

Yes.

I got a call from the DA's office.
Apparently you're acting like a hostile

witness in the Sarah Jones case.

That's right.

Well, maybe you want to tell me why.

When this department's got a history of
cooperating with the DA's office, not

undermining his cases.

Sarah Jones' attorney asked me to
testify for the defense, and I think the

deserves some support.

You think that you're the only one here
who feels some responsibility for this

situation?

I never said that I felt responsible.
Bottom line is, Cagney, that we got

too late about Sarah Jones.

Look, you're working on a job a lot of
years. It's possible to make a mistake

sometimes.

All right, Katie.

You testify on her behalf, but don't you
be too tough on the DA.

Because you will not be helping Jones.

You certainly won't be helping your own
career.

Sergeant.

Waste of time. They're on to us or they
would have hit last night.

Takeout is on, Mary Beth.

You going somewhere?

Yeah, back in the now.

Sorry you have to miss your Shakespeare.

You want to tell me the truth now?

Is Brown the man who raped you?

I told you he was. A year ago you told
me he wasn't. I was afraid you were

to take me off the case.

I'm sorry.

I should have known that I could trust
you. How do you know this is the same

guy?

You never even saw his face.

I heard his voice.

I'll remember that voice until the day I
die.

I didn't mean to kill him that night,
Chris.

All I wanted to do was to stop him.

You of all people should understand.

I've got to get back to work, Sarah.

Chris, wait.

My attorney thinks that the reason you
removed me from the case is that you

Brown was the man who raped me.

Why does he think that?

That's what I told him.

The jury has to be convinced that he
wasn't just a suspect. If you don't

to that on the stand, I don't have a
chance.

They've got to believe he was guilty. If
they don't, forget my getting off.

Murder, too, is what they're going to
pin on me.

Forgetting a rapist off the street.

Chris, that's not fair.

That sure as hell isn't justice.

I'm depending on you.

To lie for you?

You never lied before to get a job done?
To get a conviction?

Look, even if I get off, do you think
I'll ever be free of what he did to me?

All I'm asking for is a little help.

Hot roast, honey. Give me your ring,
will you?

Yeah, who is it?

Hi, Tony.

Rangan, Vincent, Murth.

This is the Murth part.

Oh, gosh, that's awfully sweet of you.

But, uh, Tony, I really can't.

Please don't get comfortable.

Don't be a tough guy.

Just want to talk for a minute.

I've got to get to work.

I want your opinion on something.

I can't. I'm late now as it is.

I knew I could count on you.

See you around, Sarge.

Damn it!

Not a creature was stirring, not even a
mouse.

Give it a few minutes, he'll show up.

Bet on it.

Well, he better hurry.

The store is closing.

You think we could turn the car on, get
some heat going again?

You want to draw attention to us?
There's nobody coming, Christine. My

frozen, so you want to do me the favor?

When this door closes. Oh, give it up,
will you?

Save us both from frostbite.

You figured it wrong, that's all.

And we don't know that until this door
closes, and I'm not turning on the car

until it does.

The last three days, you turned it to a
real hard case. Mary Beth, get off me. I

don't know if it's the Sarah Jones
business or what. Well, if Sarah Jones

concerned, you weren't even there,
remember?

And if there's a problem with her, then
it is my problem.

Fine. There's no problem with Sarah
Jones.

So, why are you so tense?

I am not tense.

Could have fooled me.

I'm thinking about something. Is that
all right with you?

Fine.

I'm the one who's nuts.

Sitting in a frozen Plymouth in the
middle of the night.

I should be watching Derek Jacoby do
Shakespeare.

I told you that I was sorry.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hey, sweetheart.

Oof.

What time is it?

Seven minutes past midnight.

Hey, it's good to see you. How was work?

Lousy. Sat in that stupid car all night
for nothing.

Which I knew was going to happen.

Fuck, Sergeant Cagney.

Nice tree.

Yeah, I know you liked the little one
last year.

So the boys and I went out after bowling
and got you a little bigger one.

Mm, smells great.

You got it in plenty of time, too.

You couldn't have waited for me to help
choose it?

Well, you're getting pretty busy these
days, Marybeth.

You got a point here, Harvey?

Oh, what with your work and classes,
maybe a couple of things happen around

without you.

I see.

Mary Beth.

What's going on, Mary Beth? You want a
blue spruce, maybe?

What? We always wait till Christmas Eve
when they go on sale.

And then we all go together and get some
little orphan tree that nobody else

wanted. But this year, you had to go out
and get one nice and early because

you're mad at me or something and you
want to leave me out. Nobody is leaving

you out. Oh, yeah? Who are you trying to
kid?

That's exactly what you did.

Hey, you're the one who wanted to take
classes when you already got a job that

wears you out. You can't have
everything, Mary Beth. You're occupied

business fine.

But the family keeps on going.

It's not a crime for a man to miss his
wife.

Who is it?

It's Cagney.

I'm sorry. Did I wake you up? No.

I was just reading.

You did late, though.

Anything wrong?

No, not really. I've just been thinking
about what she said today.

Do you have anything to drink around
here?

Some gin.

That's got you.

Have any beer?

Just gin.

Gin's fine.

Honey? No, just icing.

Impressionist painters, I have this same
book.

Got some beautiful work in there.

Actually, I just used mine to cover up a
couple of cigarette burns on the coffee

table.

Here you go.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, what's up?

Don't you have anything to drink?

No.

Sarah, I'm not going to do it.

I thought you were my friend.

I am.

I'm not going to lie for you. I'm facing
20 years. You're asking me to perjure

myself. Oh, yeah.

Excuse me.

Big freaking deal.

Well, yeah, it is.

It's timing, Chris. That's all.

I should have told you Brown was the guy
who raped me months ago.

I was confused.

And scared.

If I had killed him when he first
attacked me, there wouldn't even be a

See?

That timing, Chris.

Not lies.

Timing.

Do you know what that creep did to me?

Nobody cares about that.

I do.

Very much.

Then do this one thing for me.

One thing.

Sarah, you have been through a
nightmare.

And you need help.

You're not going to throw the therapy
bone, too, are you?

We couldn't get Brown, remember?

Well, I got him.

Look, I'll just get on that stand and
I'll say I told you. How's that?

Your word against mine.

Fine.

You do whatever you have to do.

But lying isn't the answer.

You need help and you can get it if you
tell the truth.

Well, if that's all you've got to say,
you better go.

I've had enough platitudes to last me a
lifetime.

Had to go on court.

Guilty of manslaughter.

She probably had it done in a couple of
years.

The jury didn't believe her defense.

Nope.

They don't.

Nope.

These phony cops are going to hit again,
Christina. We'll get them.

Trying to make nice here, Mary Beth?

Yeah, I suppose.

Look, I guess I have been a hard case
lately.

No, I was way out of line on that one.

Well, it's forgotten.

No, I've been a hard case, Chris.

We're partners in a different way, and
you're the boss now.

It's hard for me sometimes.

We're partners first.

No, Christine.

You got the rank now. You earned it.

I'm telling you that I accept it, all
right?

All right.

But even Sarge has made mistakes with
me. I knew it. It's not always easy to

read people.

Chris.

You are not responsible for Sarah Jones.

I think you should let yourself off the
hook a little.

That's all.

I'm in.

You have any plans for your rental?

You ever play something, Sister Reed?

No.

Well, Bloomy deals with having a
lingerie sale.

What do you say you and I go spend some
money together?

And not talk about work.

Yes, sir.

Detective? Sergeant?

Hi.

I started turning up too loud?

I'm sorry about last night.

So am I.

Tony, I said I was sorry. I had a lot on
my mind.

So did I.

Yeah. Well, I have pesto sauce cooking
and fresh pasta boiling.

Come on. There's no point in eating it
alone.

Okay?

You're a hard woman to say no to.

Well, part of my charm.

So, what do you want to talk about?

Hey, I like the feet.

Yeah? Yeah.

Well, for all ears.

Would you like my new nightie?

To tell you the truth, it wasn't on long
enough for me to see it.

You liked it.

Want to know what turned me on?

What? Sleeping with a coward again.

When did you ever sleep with a co
-owner?

Well, I had a life before I met you.

Who was she?

Oh, I can't tell you.

She's now a prominent member of
Congress.

I was getting the feeling that you
didn't like ladies who went to school.

Well, it scares me a little bit, that's
all.

You're not scared of anything?

No, honest.

Hey, you've heard all my stories a
hundred times.

Only thing else I got to talk about a
sewer contract is something I heard at a

bar.

That's not true.

The smartest man I know.

I'm trying to catch up with you, that's
all.

Cut it out, Mary. No, it's the truth.

Well, I do keep up on current events.

Yes, you do.

And I talk a great deal about history.

Mm -hmm.

And the kids.

I talk a lot about the kids.

It's late, Hoff.

Maybe I talk too much.

Marybeth, are you awake?

Marybeth?
