All language subtitles for Cagney and Lacey s06e12 Waste Deep

Our lab says that that kind of a mixture
could be highly poisonous. This stuff

causes cancer.

The unlawful disposal of toxic waste is
a felony. I'm the president. I mean,

this is not my responsibility.

Food and poison in the same truck, and
you don't give a damn? Dr. Lowenstein,

you have nothing to worry about.

A lump in my abdomen is not routine.
Routine? That's why you've been going

around all week eating some dip up for a
lip, pretending like there's nothing

wrong. You want to know how am I doing
when you think I got cancer?

Would you want the details of both I
have with the frozen leg?

Excuse me.

Morning, Mary Beth. How was your
weekend?

Yeah, I had no idea what it cost to heat
a house.

$153 more goes alone last month.

And that storm windows and weather
stripping.

Pride of ownership, Mary Beth.

Small price to pay, huh? Just finished
repairing the gutters out the roof.

Well, Mary Beth, in a few clouds in the
sky, the sun only seems that much

brighter.

Detective Lacey, 14.

Yes, sir.

Say again, please.

Thank you, sir. We're on our way.

The burglary at Brownstone on Court
Street.

Great. You're right. I like to start the
week off with a bang, huh?

Well,

by the time we get there with any luck,
it might be a homicide.

Just kidding.

Some moves it ain't.

How's our resident key bunny?

Wonderful. Wonderful.

I'm going at the 10 a .m. if you like
snow.

That's enough, everybody.

Howdy, partners.

The desert's dry and dusty, but my
shooting iron ain't rusty, and since

ain't here, I'm feeling lusty. Now,
before you guess who sent this, I want

tell you the only two words spelled
correctly are Victor and his Beck.

Oh, I think that's nice.

Must have been quite a weekend.

Somebody must have thought it was the
subway.

Smells worse than the IRT in August.

Christine!

Don't breathe too deep till we find out
what this stuff is.

Always dangerous to breathe around you,
detective.

On second thought, you incredible
creature. You just throw back your

You breathe as deep as you want to.

Oh, stop.

When you talk that way, it touches a
spot deep down inside of me. There is a

reason that we are all here today,
Detective Sullivan. Right, right. A new

of vandalism. I never saw paint like
this before. I'm going to be running

tests on this stuff.

Is anything taken?

Just left. Only left. This is a vandal
you got here, not a thief. He uses a

escape and a brick to get in the place.
You got...

Jeez, fingerprints all over the place.
Where are the Whittingtons, though? Down

the hall. Down the hall. In the den. In
the den. Listen, they're pretty shook up

right now. You take care. Go down to the
left, and then you'll find pollution,

huh? An ugly fact of life, Christine.

But one you could escape from with a
weekend of Florida sun and sea breezes.

With you?

And the Tannenbaums.

Who?

The Tannenbaums.

The other award -winning couple in the
Staten Island Clothing Optional Fund in

the Sun Sweepstakes.

Are you a nudist? Well,

I'm an old man, Christine.

There's no tan line on me.

So, what about Florida, Christine? You
think you're woman enough?

Gee, Vic, I... Actually, I'm kind of
self -conscious about my tattoos.

Excuse me.

Don't be self -conscious.

How can anyone call me a murderer?

I donate to all the major charities. I
sponsor a children's bowling team.

Have you had any disagreements or
arguments with anyone in the past few

No.

I wouldn't associate with anyone who
would act this way.

What do you do, Mr. Whittington? I'm a
toy manufacturer.

Billy Boy Toys.

I'm Billy. No kidding.

Mr.

Banana Man.

My biggest seller.

Now, who would have it in for this
little guy, huh?

Maybe it's some kind of vendetta.

It's hard to believe.

Billy Boy toys are kids' best friends.

Any man who calls himself Billy after
the age of nine sounds suspicious to me.

Oh, no, his toys are very well made,
Christine.

Michael still has his model airplane
set. He'll probably be able to give it

his little boy one day.

That's too far ahead to think of that.

Yeah.

I forgot to mention, I'm taking some
personal time this afternoon.

It's a couple hours, that's all.

What are you up to?

Late dinner with Harvey?

That's why they call it personal,
Christine.

Well, if it wasn't paint, then what was
it?

Some sort of industrial byproduct,
according to forensics.

Byproduct?

Substandard living through chemicals.

I joined up to collar killers to keep
the streets safe.

Now we can't solve a crime without the
guys in the lab coats.

Any idea on the prints?

No, nothing yet. I checked with Billy
Boy Toys. They haven't fired anybody in

the last six months, and the only
lawsuits they have pending are just

nuisance stuff.

Hey, that's what keeps the lawyers in
business nowadays.

I'm telling you, Lieutenant.

Well, I'm going to get back to my 61s if
you don't need anything.

Grows in food. Best thing I can say
about the 20th century.

What about pantyhose?

I forgot.

Mrs. Lacey?

The doctor will see you now.

Danny, give me a break. I don't drive
after the first snowfall. But you would

your locks weren't frozen. I don't want
it. Nothing personal. That's the seat of

which merchandise.

Dink. The jumper you sold me for Lauren?

Straps fell off the first time we washed
it. No.

No, my stuff is guaranteed 100%. You
just send it back.

To Malaysia?

You sure they got a post office there? I
can't. Now, look. Look, here.

I want you to check this out. All right?

Check it out.

A disposable cigarette lighter.

To the untrained eye.

This is, in fact, an automatic lock
defrosting. Tag me.

Disturbance in progress. Billy Boy Toy
Company. I believe it's your case.

Disturbance? Yeah, some guy's analyzing
the place.

Uniforms are on the scene. They're
holding the perp till you arrive.

Okay, as soon as Lacey gets in. Thanks,
Paul.

Yeah, tag me, 14.

No, I'm sorry. No, she's not in yet.
Could I take a minute?

Yeah, hold on.

Okay, go.

Sure. All right, I'll make sure she gets
it. Thank you.

I'm sorry I'm late. I was studying.
We're reading Romeo and Juliet now, and

forgot to set my alarm.

It's okay. It's exactly like West Side
Story.

The Jets and the Sharks, the Montagues
and the Capulets. Uh -huh.

Mary Beth, do not get too comfortable,
all right? We have to go to Billy Boy's

factory. He was vandalized, and they
think they have a suspect.

Yeah, same guy from the apartment?

Yeah, and Dr.

Larwin's office called.

Oh, um, I need a minute, Chris.

Okay, I'll wait outside.

Morning. Morning.

You might tell me what's going on in
there again.

I said I was sorry.

Next time I promise I'll set my alarm
before I study. That is what I'm talking

about, and you know it. First you take
yesterday afternoon off, and now your

surgeon's calling you.

Well, I think it would be nice if you
kept your partner apprised of anything

unusual in your life.

I went in yesterday for some tests.

It's two years since I had that lump
removed.

And? And I'm sorry to do this again, but
I need some time off tomorrow for

another test.

You're not going to make me crazy here,
Christine. Dr. Larwin always does follow

a pet.

But, Christine... Everything will be
fine.

Christine.

Getting to prey on your mind, right?

What? Come on.

Swaying palms, son. Kissing you in
secret places.

Is that the suspect?

Yeah, Dinah Roswell. The office staff
says she walks in here with two buckets

filled with this garbage, throws it all
over the toys, and starts yelling,

murderers, criminals, huh?

Not a pretty sight, huh? Hey, yeah.

Good thing, good thing, good thing.

Look around you.

I could take you away from all this.

Gee, make that the tough choice, but...

I think I'll stick with noxious fumes.

She's been Miranda, I guess.

If anything helps us, we'll take it from
here. Guy to Roswell.

Correct.

I'll be ready to go in a minute, as soon
as the media gets here.

Are you responsible for this mess?

Absolutely.

Actually, this mess is just a small dose
of Mr. Whittington's pollution that

I've returned to him. Let's go. You're
under arrest.

Wait, wait.

Try to understand.

This stuff doesn't just smell bad. It
kills.

Good. Let's take your statement of
depreciation. No, this is my statement.

is not vandalism. Fine. Let's move it.
Wait a minute. Now, listen. Your vaginas

won't protect you from what this poison
does.

What exactly was that stuff?

Mostly acetone and benzene.

Winnington's industrial waste.

He's been dumping that stuff illegally
for years. You know that for a fact.

I saw it myself.

Untreated, cancer -causing chemicals
being poured down landfills, down

sometimes right into the Hudson River.

And you just happened to be following
his trucks around?

No, no, no. Last summer, I was a field
intern for the Environmental Resource

Board. Doing what, Miss Roswell?

I was bagging soil samples.

That's when I saw these truckers cruise
by, and they emptied these monster drums

of chemicals right into this housing
site landfill.

So I tailed him.

Right back to Billy Boy Toys.

Why didn't you report this at the time?

I did.

The ERB threw me a line about priorities
and did zip.

So that's why I went to Winnington. You
talked to Mr. Winnington? Oh, he talked.

I got a limp handshake and, oh, we'll
look into that.

See? They're all part of a cover -up.

We're not interested in your conspiracy
theories, Miss Roswell.

You've already admitted to trespassing
and criminal mischief. Now, that hardly

makes you a credible source, does it?
You've got to do something.

This stuff causes cancer.

I'm saying it wouldn't hurt. She's all
talk, Mary. Good afternoon, ladies.

Hi, Lynn.

Working the lunch brief.

Let me guess.

You're here to do a story on the finest
of New York's finest.

Not bad, Cagney. But I've got a hotter
piece on the burner. The Dinah Roswell

case.

Oh, yes. Well...

Every lawbreak deserves her 15 seconds
of fame.

Hey, listen.

Did Roswell tell you about the dumping
of toxic waste she witnessed? Yeah, she

mentioned it. And how are you
responding?

Lynn.

Slow news day, Sutter.

I wrote a story about Roswell during her
internship at the ERB.

Good. Now you know how it ends.

Don't play tough with me, Sergeant.

I've got something that could make your
job much easier. A male secretary?

Better.

Copies of the reports Roswell filed with
the ERB. Date, time, places.

It could save you a lot of legwork.

I'd like to see that.

If we agree, you get a collar, I get
first shot at the detail.

You love it? We're trying to do our job
and she's playing Monty Hall.

Toy company, toxic waste, cancer.

That kind of story sells papers.

Begging your pardon, Lieutenant, the
unlawful disposal of toxic waste is a

felony.

We don't have jurisdiction here, Lacey.
If anyone's going to take any action,

it's got to be the ERB.

With due respect, sir, I remember
standing right here when Federal Agent

pulled us off the plutonium case because
he didn't want any bad publicity.

Agent Hornby played it by the book.

He told us the feds would follow up the
investigation... We know they did that,

sir. We never heard anything.

For all we know, they swept that
plutonium onto the carpet with Lord

many other things. But because nobody
knows about it, it doesn't matter,

Don't you pin that bureaucracy crap on
me, detective.

Without federal cooperation, what can
you do?

What?

Unless you catch somebody right in the
act, you got no solid evidence.

With your permission, sir, I think we
can do that.

Cagney. We at least talked to the ERBs.
Worth a try.

Okay. All right.

But if they got other priorities, I
don't want to hear that the two of you

been harassing them.

Understood? Thank you, sir.

Cadney, hold this up, will you?

You hold these schedules with me.

Sergeant Cadney around?

Should be out in a minute.

May I help you?

No, I don't think so. Not this time.

Pleased to meet you.

I am Lars Sanders, a friend of
Chrissy's. Oh, a friend of Chrissy's.

pleased to meet you. I'm Mary Beth
Lacey. I'm her partner. Well, Lars is

partner, too. He's her skiing partner.

Oh, that's nice, Lars.

Chrissy! Yes!

What are you doing here?

I've come to surprise you.

And he did.

Now you go back to Vermont.

You always play with me.

He doesn't mean baseball.

But the other night you said...

Would you excuse us just for a moment?

Lars?

What are you doing in New York? I
thought that you gave ski lessons

April. You said to come visit you
anytime I am in town.

So, I come for you.

Well,

to see me?

Of course.

Just me. I miss you in the mornings when
I think of you.

Bring your present.

It's a skin lotion with vitamin E to
make you soft and healthy.

You'll remember Saturday night.

Look, why don't I see you back at your
hotel?

Hotel? No, I am staying with you.

Lodge, pick her up one more time and
smile.

Wait a minute.

With me? Don't you have anyone to stay
with? Friends?

Two.

You are my best friend.

A cup of coffee, Lars?

Nay.

How about lunch? We were just about to
order. You look like a pastrami man to

me.

No.

Lars, here are the keys to my apartment.

And I'll give you the address and you
have the cash.

Drop you off there, okay?

Yes. Thank you, Chrissy.

Oh, not at all.

We'll talk later.

Later.

Of course. Of course.

Soon, I hope. Very soon, yes.

Goodbye, Lars.

And thanks so much for coming by.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Go.

I was hoping to see you wearing a
uniform.

Seems like a

decent fellow.

And, uh...

In a three -month internship, Roswell
wrote up more complaints than the entire

ERB staff, with a copy to me and a copy
to the press.

She even had a file on the NYPD.

Improper disposing of motor oil from the
carpool.

Needless to say, we let you folks slide
on that one.

Did you also let Billy Boy Toys slide?

Ms. Roswell was very vehement on that
case, but frankly, I don't think there's

much to it.

How dangerous is an acetone -benzene
compound, Mr. Lorca? Where is that

mean, even if there were violations,
it's a small company. What, about two or

three million dollars a year?

Ms. Roswell claims that she has
witnessed these people dumping large

of an acetone -benzene compound into the
ground. Now, what kind of effect would

that have?

Well, if it's true, I suppose the
chemicals could eventually intrude on

groundwater in that area.

So we're getting a water supply.

Good.

What if it did?

Our lab says that that kind of a mixture
could be highly poisonous if it isn't

treated properly.

Well, in large enough quantities, yes,
but it all depends.

On what? On whether it's your kids
living in the neighborhood?

What do you want from me?

Washington keeps cutting our funding. I
don't have the needed manpower.

Yes.

Tell him anything you want. He'll have
to wait.

Millions of tons of... Toxic wastes were
disposed of last year, enough to fill 1

,500 astrodomes.

Most of it illegally.

We just can't go after every fish in the
sea.

If you would go after the polluted, sir,
the fish would take care of themselves.

Hey,

don't drink that.

Since when?

Since I bought it today.

Your father's going to put a filter on
that fourth or two. I don't know if it's

floating around in the water.

I think you grew an inch since last
week.

In two inches in two months. I measured
myself against the wall.

You were 23 inches when you were born.

I always knew you were going to be tall.

Yeah, I never knew that.

First time the doctor brought you to me?

I could barely see and my eyes were so
full of tears.

Yeah, it was so ugly, huh?

Never.

You had a pointed head, but you were
beautiful.

Ma.

I feel bad I told them to put me out.

I wish I had been there to greet you.

It's okay, Mom.

Growing up so fast, I feel like I don't
know where six years old went or seven

or ten.

Well, ten was Mr.

G for the fifth grade.

Boy, was he the pits.

You're such a handsome young man in that
tuxedo for that dance, Harvey. It's

like peeking into the future.

Pretty soon you're going to be driving,
and then I hope you go to college.

It's wonderful to learn things. And then
you will get a job, and then you will

get married.

Alice Christine will be a flower girl.

Ma.

Benzing.

Incredible, Mary Beth.

The man never sleeps.

Sounds very romantic.

Romantic? Hell, if I'd been with a puppy
in heat.

Maybe we should get him something to
chew on.

These days, Christine, older woman,
younger man, very chic.

Mary Tyler won't marry that young
doctor.

Oh, yeah. Hey, Lars and I have a lot in
common.

I lost my virginity the same year he was
born.

He's getting ready to go.

Any idea where this stuff will end up?

This is as good as mine. The report said
they were dumping in all five boroughs.

Pull him over. Check that pig.

Hey, I couldn't have been beat.

I didn't have high enough gear.

Sergeant Cagney, NYPD.

You have any identification?

I'm Detective Lacey. You want to open up
the back of the truck, sir? We'd like

to see what's inside.

You picked this up at Billy Boy Toys?

Yeah.

It's right here in the manifest.

I got a couple of stops to make. I'm
going to the dump site. Get those

please, sir.

Lady, officers, if I don't get going
pretty soon, the traffic on that

Take it easy, mister.

It's going to an approved dump site.

It's all legal.

That's what it says.

That load, maybe, but that's not all of
it. Roswell, why don't you go back to

school and become a lawyer, like other
people you're in?

Miss Roswell?

Oh, detective.

You see, they're only allowed to hold on
to that waste for 90 days at a time. So

they ditch a dozen barrels legally to
look good. Sort of their contribution to

cleaner America. But then, over the next
few days, they dump the rest in small

loads. How's she all good?

I've been watching them. It's how they
operate.

It's their M .O.

Tell you what, Roswell, we'll think
about it, all right?

Now, if you just go away, because we
have other business we have to attend

That's our M .O. Oh, you're so close on
this thing.

Please.

Just give it that extra effort. I said
we think about it.

Thank you, Miss Roswell.

Thank you, Miss Roswell.

You have to hand it to her. She's
persistent.

So is Nixon.

How'd this last test go?

Okay.

Okay?

That's good.

So what happened when you had to have
the second test?

It was a little something on the first x
-ray. They didn't know what it was.

So they had to give me a different kind.

The doctor says I shouldn't worry about
it.

Well, it's easy for him to say.

How do you feel?

He's a good doctor.

You know, this Roswell does have one
thing right, Christine.

Even if we come up empty, at least we
can feel that we made our best effort.

We made our best effort at 5 .30 this
morning, remember?

I was laying groundwork. If this kid
knows what she's talking about... Mary

Beth, it doesn't make any difference.
The Samuels wants us to drop the case.

I've already called Sutter. Oh, come on,
Christine.

Aren't you willing to lose a little more
sleep for a collar like this one?

Sleep?

What is sleep?

Oh, I forgot.

Do you have a visitor?

Yes.

Maybe we can try it again tomorrow.

Wish it'll get me out of the lock before
Laura's...

Hormones wake up.

That's a very unselfish decision,
Christine.

Yes.

Who was under that building before you
started working on it? Dirt.

Cute.

What else, huh?

Sometimes companies dump toxic chemicals
into landfills, you know.

I always check out a parcel of land
before I work on it, Mary Beth.

Sometimes those chemicals seep below the
surface. You can't find them so easily.

I can only worry about things that have
some control over. The what -ifs and the

maybes you can't think about.

Yeah, what's more important than your
health?

Bad enough you worked with that asbestos
all those years before the government

found out it gives you cancer.

It's in the past, Mary Beth.

You think it's over, you think you're
safe.

Then you find out about something else.

Dr. Longwood said you have nothing to
worry about.

He is just playing it safe with his
follow -up test.

A lump in my abdomen is not routine,
neither is an MRI scan.

The doctor did not say there was a lump,
Mary Beth. He said a shadow on the X

-ray.

Your test has been clear for two years
now. You're going to be fine.

Will you stop ironing?

You've got a stakeout in the morning. Go
to bed.

I've got to finish up my work here.

Harvey?

Yes, sweetheart.

Finished tomorrow?

Being with you fills me with energy.

Oh, yes, I know.

I do something special for you.

It's a brand and baby pulling shake,
Bex.

You can take it to your stake -up.

Out.

It's a stake -out, Lars.

It will make you feel good and strong.

Oh, golly.

First shift will be here in half an
hour.

Well, if nothing happens by then, I
guess we throw in the towel.

I guess.

Brandon way shake with bee pollen.

Once. Oh, no, thank you.

Go ahead. It's great stuff.

Very nice. It tastes so healthy.

You keep it.

You heard from your doctors yet?

Still waiting.

It's been two days.

These things take time.

Can't believe we have to go through this
whole thing all over again.

Waiting for those damn doctors to come
up with their verdict.

But, uh, I got you a present.

Here.

Oh.

Oh, this is beautiful.

Thank you, Christine.

Yeah, well, so you'll be on time, you
know.

I like the inscription, too.

Oh, Jesus.

That's too nice to wear.

Oh.

How are things going with you and Lars?

I don't know, Mary Beth.

Some relationships are meant to last
only a weekend, you know what I mean?

Huh?

Well, trust me.

I wanted a playmate.

I got a roommate.

Did you make your intentions clear?

What intentions?

I don't have any intentions.

Does Lars know that?

He's such a kid, you know. I don't want
to hurt his feelings.

Christine, you can't just shut your eyes
and hope he goes away.

I know. I tried that.

He made an attachment. Now you are going
to have to deal with it one way or the

other.

I hate it when you say that.

Look at him.

It's a different truck or something.

Mm -hmm.

No, no!

No!

Is there any more of those bones?

No.

What's the problem, lady?

Anyone open up the back of the truck?

You got a warrant? This is my...

Yeah, well, give me a break, ladies.
I've got a fleet of trucks to run. Mr.

Selway, you and your fleet are going to
be in dry dock unless you start to

cooperate.

Okay, officers, you win.

How about I just pay it here and we save
us all a lot of grief?

So what's the damage, huh?

What, a couple hundred bucks?

You just said the magic word.

That stuff is going to wind up in the
ocean. We're all going to be swimming in

that junk.

Food and poison in the same truck, and
you don't give a damn?

What if that food winds up in some
school lunch? Did you ever think about

I can't be responsible for everything
those guys put in the truck.

Those guys are willing to testify that
they were simply following your orders.

Yeah, well, then it's their word against
mine, then, isn't it? I'm getting tired

of your smart mouth, Buster. Take it
easy, Mary Beth. Yeah, take it easy. Our

laboratory people said they found traces
of that toxic compound in every single

one of your vehicles.

Along with the bribery charge, that
could give you a nice long vacation for

illegal dumping business.

I'd say, oh, about 14 years.

Look, lady.

My business is moving things from one
place to another. I ain't looking to

anybody. I got to make a living.

You know what I pay in taxes get in
insurance?

You're breaking my heart. And you are
poisoning children all over New York.

Yeah, well, if my guys don't transport
that stuff, he leave me. There's ten

other guys waiting in line to do it.

Yeah, but we got you.

So what do you want from me? Billy
Whittington.

It's all set.

Samuel's going to give Petrie and her
some veto. We'll put a wire on them.

can ride with Delway.

Good.

Good.

We're probably going to nail Weddington.

Good.

How many more Weddingtons do you think
there are?

Did you hear anything about your test
yet?

No.

You called the doctor today?

I don't know how busy doctors are.

You didn't fool around with something
like this, Mary Beth. What are you so

concerned about me for, Alderson?

You're my partner. I care about you.

Then why didn't you ever ask me how I
was feeling when Alice had the colic and

we was up all night for nine weeks
straight?

Or how I was doing Thanksgiving?

When Muriel got so sick and Harvey was
all concerned, I'm cooking up the sauce

and we all try and remember to be
thankful.

How the hell was I supposed to know
about that? You could have asked.

Like I always ask.

How's Charlie doing?

How's your brother Brian or David or
whoever the man is this week?

But no, you want to know how am I doing
when you think I got cancer?

Tell the truth, Christine.

Would you want the details? The fourth I
had was a broken leg.

Can't die from a broken leg, Mary Beth.

So sure she is dreaming, Mary Beth. She
has all this stuff going on inside her

head. She scrunches up her eyebrows. She
puckers up her mouth.

I mean, I would give anything to know
what she's thinking.

What are you doing here?

I'm putting together some stuff.

What stuff?

Oh, stuff.

Organizing drawers.

Now? Yeah. Pretty late.

Never too late.

Shakespeare.

Your mother, she always says that. Yep.

I gave you these on our fourth
anniversary.

Seventh? Just checking.

Alice is going to love these.

They're going to have sentimental value
because her father gave them to her

mother. Harvey?

These are mine.

Who else is? I don't know. Come on, give
him here.

Where'd these come from? Who's these?

Harvey, you know that I'm a neat person,
and I like to be on top of things.

My mother always told me that I should
wear clean underwear, so in case I was

hit by a bus and I'm laying in the
street, I should have clean underwear.

So.

In case I get hit by a bus, I like to
have neat dresser drawers. Oh, yeah?

how about doing mine?

And I want to be able to answer these
love letters. Uh -huh.

And I want to put all those photos in an
album.

Yeah. It's going to get so neater on
here, I won't be able to find anything.

Another thing, hard lacy.

No way your cousin Maureen is getting my
amethyst pin you gave me for my 35th

birthday.

Promise me you won't let Maureen get her
mitts on my pin.

Promise.

Remember when you got me that?

Mm -hmm.

It snowed.

The boys went over to Muriel's.

We woke up in the morning.

We were all snowed in. Mm -hmm.

And the drifts were a mile high.

I'm going to get you a pair of skates.

Next year, we are going ice skating.

I'll take care of him.

Looking at each other's eyes over
strawberry, honey, nectar, and stir

tofu.

Maybe it's not tofu, you know.

Championship skier and a chef? That's a
talented young man.

Yes, well, despite his many talents, I
knew you were right, Mary Beth.

I like it when you agree with me. What
was I right about?

Well, I told him how amazing, really,
that I thought it was that two people...

Could be total strangers one day, and
then the next day, still total

Not very diplomatic.

Well, he didn't seem to catch my drift.
I don't think that'll be one of his

strong points. So I just said, what the
heck?

It's better to be straightforward and
honest, all right?

So I handed him a bus ticket to Vermont,
one way.

I guess we got the point then.

Yes, he didn't take it as well as I had
hoped.

There he was, this huge, sweet, standing
in the middle of the street, sobbing

while I'm healing him a cab.

He's a sweet man, actually.

I look forward to missing him.

Your turn.

What? I've been bending your ear for one
half hour about my life.

So, Mary Beth, how's your life?

The doctor didn't get the results yet.

Well, you could have been considerate
enough to have fed someone. I wasn't

thinking about it.

Oh, bull.

Why do you have to go around like a lone
ranger?

There was no point getting worked up
about something routine.

Oh, right, routine. That's why you've
been going around all week keeping

something stiff up for a lip, pretending
like there's nothing wrong. What are

you getting on your high horse for?

Just because I don't ask about Harvey
and the boys and Alice Racine every day

does not mean that I don't care about
you.

Something's up private. Oh, something's
up selfish.

Who are you calling selfish?

I am always here for you.

Then why in the hell can't I be here for
you?

They're at the end of it. I get scared.
Buck Rogers to Control Tower. Buck

Rogers to Control Tower.

Planet Toxoid is on the horizon.

Well, doesn't that need to work?

Mr. Selway, you sure it's safe to handle
these drums?

Just wear the gloves.

Oh, this might count on me, too.

I guaranteed Mr. Wakey and I'd get the
job finished today, even if I had to do

it myself.

Well, you better hurry up. You've got
lots to do before the morning shift gets

here. Uh, you got, uh, something for me?

Count that label, will you?

It's all there from yesterday and today.
All right, come on, let's go.

Good morning, detective.

What can I do for you?

Sergeant. Please.

You can come with us, sir.

What for?

I've already given you my statement.

Mr. Whittington, you are under arrest
for the unlawful disposal of toxic

This is about that kook Roswell, isn't
it?

Russell warned you about your dumping.

I told my people to look into it. And
ask my plant manager.

This is your plant, sir.

This is ridiculous.

I'm going to call my lawyer. Fine, sir.
From the precinct.

You got a coat?

I'm the president. I mean, this is not
my responsibility.

It's not my fault.

Mr. Whittington, sir, not only is this
entirely your responsibility and your

fault, it is also your ass.

You have the right to remain silent, Mr.
Whittington.

You have the right to remain silent in
anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney and to
have an attorney present during

questioning. Now, if you so desire and
cannot afford one, of course, an

will. And then he says, but if you close
down Billy Boy Toys, think of all those

little children.

Real humanitarian.

Excuse us.

Agent Larkin, the ERB caller.

Little Lacey put together a good case.

Oh, thank you, Lieutenant.

And your Perp Roswell called to say
thanks for all the help.

We're only here to serve.

You hear that, Lacey?

Good work.

Thank you, sir.

Great work.

Yeah, I like it.

You look kind of tired.

I think you deserve a kickoff early
today. What do you think?

I don't know, Chris. I thought I'd
finish up the final thoughts on

before I go.

Mary Beth, a very wise person once said,
never do today what you can put off

till tomorrow.

Who said that? Me.

Come on, I'll buy the champagne.

Thank you, Chris. Maybe I'll take a rain
check.

See you tomorrow.

Uh -huh.

Katie, 14.

Dr. Larwin's office.

Hold on, please.

Christine?

This is Mrs. Lacey.

Hello, Dr. Larwin.

Are you sure?

Oh, thank you.

Yes, thank you.

Oh, yes.

Thank you.
