All language subtitles for Deadly Relations 1993 TV Movie Robert Urich Shelley Fabares Gyneth Paltrow Matthew Perry 360p

Hey,

it's like ammunition.

I can still remember the first time my
father talked to me about death.

He said, when a human being dies, Carol,
he dies like a dog buried in a hole

somewhere with only maggots for company.

Soon he is long forgotten.

Even though I was still a child, I knew
his words were those of a tortured man.

From that day on my mission became very
clear I

Vowed I would never abandon him Daddy
would always

be my personal hero worthy of my
complete devotion

When we were growing up my father always
talked about the perfect house he would

build for his family one day He pursued
his dream with all And in 1964, we

finally moved onto the property Daddy
called Paradise.

It was my father's intention to create a
family compound on the land.

As each of his daughters married, she
and her husband would be given a house

next door.

The family would grow bigger, but it
would never grow apart.

Come on, girls.

It's Saturday.

Let's go.

Inspections, everybody in the rooms. On
the double. March to it.

It's clean enough, Carolee.

But it's ready for another coat of wax.

Yes, Daddy.

I'm not going to find any miniskirts in
here, am I?

If I find any miniskirts, I'll cancel
your charge plates.

Oh, no, I'd never wear one of those.

Those young girls today wearing short
skirts and makeup looking like sluts.

If there was a blessed natural beauty,
you don't need any of that trash.

Yes, Daddy. You're next, Nancy.

Is this bed made the way it's supposed
to be?

Dad, not today, please.

Have a date tonight.

If this doesn't bounce, you're staying
in.

I want you home by 11, young lady. Not
11 .15, 11 o 'clock. Yes, Daddy.

Where's Joanne? In her room.

Well, I guess this will do.

After all, you're not going out tonight,
are you? No, sir.

I'm grounded for the next five days.

I committed the horrible crime of being
on the phone past eight o 'clock.

My rules are not to be questioned,
Joanne.

You're the oldest. You're supposed to be
setting an example for your sisters.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Be real careful about that for me, young
lady.

Lynn. You know, a lot of this is your
fault. They see you smoking those

cigarettes. They figure they can do
anything they want. That's a disgusting

habit.

Okay, Pootie, you're next.

Your room all spiffed up?

Yeah.

My bed.

What is this?

What the hell is this? I preached... And
I preach and I preach about not

cluttering up these closets. And what do
I find?

What do I find?

My saddle! You got my saddle! It's just
the one I wanted.

Lynn, that's a $500 saddle.

She's my daughter. My daughters only get
the best. Can I go riding later, Daddy?

Can I? Of course you can, sweetheart.

What?

Mind if I read with you for a while?

Yeah, sure, baby. Come on in.

Are you working on a big case?

We're putting this together for three
years.

Trial's next week.

The insurance company wants to settle.

Man loses his legs.

They want to negotiate.

Pays his premiums, operates in good
faith. Now that he's desperate and

they want to bargain with him.

Well, I'm going to see to it that they
pay every last nickel.

Well, you'll win, Daddy. You always do.

I wish I could be there to watch you.

What are these?

Oh, just some pictures from when I was
in the war.

They help me get ready. They help me get
my mind right.

Daddy, these are horrible.

Don't look away, Carol. Look at that.

That's real. That's a part of life.

No wonder you're so tense all the time.

Well, nobody likes war, but sometimes
it's a matter of survival.

You were a hero, though. You saved men's
lives.

Did it hurt really bad when you were
wounded?

Yeah, your eye's above the pain.

You train yourself to ignore it. Mind
over matter.

If I could teach you that one thing,
Carol, nothing in this world would ever

hurt you.

Oh, Joey!

Oh, Joey!

That was beautiful. Mama, look.

Isn't it gorgeous?

What's going on here? What's all this
squealing about?

Joey has engaged.

She's marrying George.

It's getting late.

Time for George to go.

We'll speak about this another day. Yes,
sir.

I'll call you tomorrow.

You're crazy.

Are you out of your mind?

You're 19 years old, and you decide to
throw your entire life away?

Daddy, I love George.

Joanne, I want you to marry a
professional man, a man with a future,

finish college.

I am in love with George Westerfield,
and I am going to marry him. You don't

have to be there if you don't want to,
but with you or without you, I am going

to marry him.

Eddie?

I lost her.

I lost my oldest daughter.

You lost her, Daddy?

She's not leaving town.

George seems like a nice guy.

She doesn't understand how hard I had to
struggle.

Working two jobs, going to law school at
night.

I did it all for you.

So you could have a better life than I
did.

It's up to you now, Carol.

The honor of this family.

Promise me you'll go to college.

Promise me you'll marry a man we can all
be proud of.

I will.

I promise.

I knew I could count on you out of all
my daughters. I know you won't let me

down.

Getting across town to a job interview
is stressful enough.

We finally get to have a brother. I like
George.

He's always smiling.

Yeah, he's a wonderful man.

I don't know what the man I marry is
going to be like.

Except that he'll absolutely adore me
and think everything I say is poetry.

Mine's going to be a professional man,
like maybe a doctor, a lawyer, maybe the

president of a company.

Mine's going to like horses and dogs.

You know, for a man who is dead set
against this marriage, Daddy's share is

going all out.

Well, that's Daddy. Always did enjoy
putting on a show.

You know, Joanne, maybe he's doing this
because he loves you. You are always so

quick to criticize him. Okay, Carol. No,
I mean, you never give him credit for

anything. He will come around and like a
George. I know he will. Okay.

Now, how do I look?

Joanne? You look like a Barbie doll.

Barbie doll.

Joanne, you look absolutely splendid.

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, thank you, Danny.

Mr. Fagel?

George, you take good care of my little
girl.

Yes, sir, I sure will.

Would you get a dance, sir?

Lynn, I've got some supper for you.

Lynn?

Lynn?

Lynn?

Lynn? Carol?

Nancy? Call an ambulance, quick!

Mama,

what happened? Is he okay?

He is just fine, Joanne.

They've got him stabilized, and he's
resting now. And evidently, your daddy

had a mild heart attack. A heart attack?
A mild one, Joanne. He is absolutely

out of any danger.

The doctor said that there was just a
slight narrowing of the arteries with no

indication of any kind of blockage.
So...

with just a little bit of oxygen and
some nitro tablets, and he's going to be

just as good as new.

You know what? College semester starts
next week. Maybe I should just stay

No, Carol.

You're not going to college. That'd
really upset him. Nancy's right.

You keep to your plan.

Your daddy is going to be just fine.

He survived Okinawa.

He survived Pearl Harbor.

Men like Leonard don't just die.

I'll take over now. Get some sleep.

You're gonna be alright.

You're gonna be just fine.

Glenn,

one of your clients just called.

Jess Hartley.

You told him I wasn't here?

Well, I told him, but he sounded a
little irritated.

You know, you're only in the office a
few days a week now, and no one can ever

reach you at home. I have a bad heart,
damn it.

I'm only working every minute of the day
until I keel over and drop dead. Would

that make you happy?

Oh, man, of course not.

It's just that the doctor said that you
shouldn't be just sitting around.

Len, what's the matter? Are you all
right?

Are you... Shirley!

Shirley, get the oxygen, honey.

Len, Len, just take it easy. Take it
easy. Calm down.

Shirley, hurry, honey, hurry.

Just take it easy. Shirley will be right
here.

Hang on just a second. Here we go. Here,
take that.

Take a little breath.

A little breath. Let you breathe easy.

Breathe easy.

Are you okay? How do you feel?

I'm going inside.

Taking an angina pill.

What are the boys like?

Are you getting anybody?

I'll tell you everything after supper,
okay? Oh, how did you think we'd be

seeing you until Easter?

I'm in trouble, Mama.

Daddy? This is Bruce Applegarth here,
sophomore at Louisiana State.

We've been dating each other for a
couple months now, and, uh... We got

this morning in Mississippi.

I'm pregnant.

I didn't mean for it to happen. I went
to Mama yesterday. She said we better do

this before we came to you.

I'm sorry, Daddy.

No, no, you wanted me to finish college,
but...

Oh,

shh.

Shh.

It's all right, sweetheart.

You did the right thing. That's what's
important.

Hello, young man.

What are your intentions now that you've
married my daughter?

Well, sir, if I can stay clear of the
draft, I'd like to continue my

That's good. That's good.

One uneducated son -in -law in the
family is enough.

It won't be easy with a wife and child,
but I figure if I get a full -time job

and take some classes at night... Oh,
that won't be necessary.

I'll set you and Kara up in a little
house. I'll pay the bills, pay the rent.

You're an allowance for groceries and
such as long as you stay in school. You

understand each other?

Yes, sir.

Oh, I'm so afraid you weren't going to
love me anymore.

Oh, Carol, that's nonsense.

You're my daughter.

No matter what happens, I'll always love
you.

Oh, that's wonderful, honey. Just great.

Steely, that cooler's empty. Put some
ice in it.

I'll take care of that, Mom. Oh, thanks,
George.

Now, Carol, I don't get it. Why would
Bruce enlist in the Army?

You're going to Vietnam?

If I sign on for three years, I'll
probably get stationed in Germany.

So, how's George doing? Anyone finding a
new job?

He's waiting on a call from Offshore
Radius.

But, in the meantime, Daddy's picking up
his flat, paying the rent.

He's not doing a whole lot for George's
incentive.

Would you rather he just let you go on
welfare?

No, I'm not saying that, Nancy. I'm just
saying that sometimes Daddy's

generosity keeps you from getting on
with your life.

Another way that keeps a rain on you.

Oh, Lord.

I better take that towel before he
scrambles her brains.

Come on, it's time to go.

Now you take some food with you. Take
some chicken. Take some ribs.

No, for such a thing.

Go on, take the food with that jobless
wonder you're married to. Who knows

the next meal's coming from.

Why do you do that?

Why do you have to be so mean?

That's okay, Ma. I know he's only
teasing.

Dad. What?

How could you embarrass your own
daughter like that? You almost brought

tears. Well, she's going to shed a lot
of tears as long as you marry her.

bold, Dad.

Okay, who wants some watermelon? I grew
them myself.

Let's see that knife.

Hey, it's okay, Pootie.

Nothing's wrong.

I want you to meet somebody.

This here is Marty Courtney.

She lives over on Walter's Road. Just a
few blocks from here.

Well, she's going to be coming around
the house helping me with yard work.

Your father said you like horses.

I like them, too.

Maybe we can go riding sometime.

Honey, you know, your mother, she might
not understand what you saw here today.

She might get real upset. She might even
decide to, you know, leave home. You

know, whose fault that would be?

It would be yours, because you told her.

You wouldn't want Mama to leave us,
would you?

No, no.

Oh,

good. So this is going to be our little
secret, right?

Okay. Okay?

Why don't you go on home now and take
care of your horse. You brush him down

real good.

And I'll be along a little while.

I'm coming.

Hey, how are you?

Where's George?

He went to the movie with Joanne on baby
fitness.

Oh. Who are you?

I'm Mike Holland.

George and I were in the Navy together.

You don't remember me, do you?

I used to date your sister Joanne about
six, seven years back.

Oh, of course, you were a scrawny little
kid back then.

You're not a kid anymore, are you?

Look, maybe you should come back when
George and Joanne are...

Look at you.

This is my son, Bruce Ryan Applegart.

Aren't you the cutest little thing?

His father, my husband, he's in the
service in Germany.

Germany. Is that right?

I'm supposed to visit him next month.

Oh, now, look at your big old eyes.

So big and blue.

Now, where'd you ever get such big,
beautiful blue eyes?

Hmm. Kind of a funny outfit for a
gardener to wear, wouldn't you say?

She thinks she is strutting around in an
outfit like that. Daddy said we're

supposed to treat her like another
sister.

You want us to take her shopping, play
tennis?

Well, I will tell you what we ought to
do. We ought to grab her by the hair and

kick her scrawny butt. Thank you, Walter
Rush.

You strapped a bunch of us. Oh, for
God's sake, Nancy, you're a grown woman.

not a grown woman.

Hey,

gorgeous, do you want to mix up a salad?

Hi,

can I give you a hand?

Carol, isn't it amazing?

Your daddy actually expects me to
believe that that young woman is here to

yard work.

You think he's having an affair with
her? Of course he is.

I've been having affairs for years, ever
since Joanne was a child.

I'm sorry if I shocked you, honey.

I know how you worship your daddy.

But I have been quiet about this for
just as long as I could.

I never wanted to do anything that might
make this family split apart.

But now he has parked one practically
right on my doorstep.

Renting her an apartment.

He's given her a charge card. I found
all the receipts in that little hiding

hole he keeps in the library. I don't
know how he's afforded it.

Stopped going to work altogether.

Oh, I'm tired.

Tired. Oh, Nicole and Carol.

I'm tired of humiliation.

Are you going to leave him, Mama?

Your daddy doesn't believe in divorce.

If I left, he would make sure I ended up
living in a shoebox.

He'd do everything in his power to make
the rest of my life miserable.

Doesn't do to go against your daddy.

LJ, Joanne said you wanted to see me
before we left.

Yes, George, yeah.

Come on in here.

George, um, I've been thinking.

I'd like to buy you and Joanne a boat.

A sailboat.

Something of decent size, 40 foot or so.

You want to buy us a boat?

Well, it'd be for the whole family.

We'd go for outings on Lake
Pontchartrain, but you'd hold the title.

Now, you'd have to keep maintained.

Now, you were in the Navy. You're good
at that sort of work. What do you think?

Well, I think that sounds terrific, sir.
I'll go make some phone calls, get a

good price for you right now. Good,
good. George, George, before you go,

got a paper I need your signature on.

I'm adding extra coverage to your
hospitalization for you, Joanne.

Sure thing, L .J.

And listen, this is really nice of you
about the boat.

That's real generous.

Yeah, well,

that's what brings me pleasure, George,
doing things for my family.

Hi. Hey.

I don't know if we should do that.

Say bye.

Hold on, little boy.

Oh, Carol, I'm going to go get my hair
done and pick up some groceries.

Do you need anything for the baby?

No, we're just fine.

Oh, you know, maybe you should pick up
some more talcum powder. I swear, this

baby gets more rashes.

Where are you going in such a hurry?

The office.

The office?

Daddy's going to work?

I doubt it.

I will get that powder for Bruce Jr.

I'll be back about four.

Okay.

No, thanks, ma 'am.

Carol and I are to start supper. Should
be ready about six.

I checked by the stables. He's not
there.

Shirley said George didn't buy the
stables. I can't imagine where else he

be.

Okay.

Daddy said check behind the stables on
the hassle side of the property.

She's on the look, Lynn.

Okay, well, we'll see you back sometime.

Bye.

It's pain relief without the pill. No
pill, no pain.

There we

go.

They'd be fine.

I

can't

believe you've come here.

On Mom's birthday?

How could you do such a thing?

Better to get your father invited.

How can you be so blase about it? Hey,
Father's renting us a house.

I just can't understand it.

How could he pick a tramp like that over
Mama after all the years they've spent

together? Well, people fall in love.

If things happen, there's nothing you
can do about it.

Come here, Bruce. Let's go look at that
pig, huh?

I know about George.

You took a policy out on him nine months
before he died.

Double indemnity in case of accidental
death.

With you as a sole beneficiary.

For $200 ,000, you killed your own
daughter's husband.

You was a loser, shiftless bum.

Joanna's better off without him.

You left your own grandchildren without
a father. How could you? I took very

good care of that family. Join us in
Social Security, VA, survival benefits.

George is making more dead than when he
was alive.

I want a divorce.

I refuse to live with you any longer. Do
you think I'm going to let some blood

-sucking divorce lawyer snoop around on
my personal affairs?

Absolutely not. I will bury you first.

I will not live with you any longer. I
refuse to live in this house.

I'll let you have a separation.

Buy your own house, pay for all your
expenses, Shirley and Nancy can live

you, but I will never, ever grant you a
divorce.

Whatever you're thinking, keep one thing
in mind.

I have a policy on every one of you.

Nancy, I have to see him. Where is he?
He's in the living room.

Joanne, wait. What is going on?

Mama told me what she found.

Now, I want to talk to you.

In private, now.

Well, Joanne, anything you need to say,
you can say in front of my friends.

You are a murderer.

You killed my husband.

Now, I can't prove it. I can't have you
arrested. But I know you for what you

are. You are a heartless, cold -blooded
murderer.

Joanne, what are you saying? Stop it.
Stop defending him.

Stop being so blind, Carol.

He's not a hero.

He's not a saint.

He is a monster.

Now, I never want to see you again.

Don't you call me. Don't you come to my
house.

Don't you set foot near my children.

From this day on, you and I are
finished.

And you, if you so much as cross my
path, I will tear your eyes out.

Ever since her husband fell, she's been
kind of crazy.

Well, who's bet?

Well, this is it.

It's the last one.

It's hardly going to seem the same when
Mom are gone.

Well, it was your mother's decision.

I want her to stay.

Those, um, things that Joanne was saying
about you and George, they weren't

true, are they?

Carol, of course not.

Then I'm ready You

still

on the grass raps will be moving

Well, why don't you go on off that way
and Marty and I go off this way.

Why don't we hunt together?

Well, I like to be crowded.

We'll meet back here at noon.

Come on, Brute.

What happened? Where's Daddy? There was
blood everywhere.

I've never seen so much blood.

He said it was an accident. He said that
he slipped on a bottle.

And his hand, his left hand, is almost
blown completely off.

It can't put back.

And the whole time he's...

He's talking about the insurance.

The police report.

His hand's hanging by a single piece of
skin, and the only thing he can think

about is the insurance.

You shouldn't be here.

I need to talk to you.

Okay.

You know, when we got married, it wasn't
because we were so much in love.

It was because I was pregnant, and then
you went off to the army to Germany, and

it seemed like you were there forever.

While you were gone, I met someone, a
friend of Joanne's. His name is Mike,

Holland.

I fell in love with him.

I didn't mean for it to happen.

but it did and i'm still in love with
him and i can't keep pretending that i'm

not it's like you once said people fall
in love and there's nothing you can do

hell there isn't i'm not gonna give you
up now you

go to this boy and you tell him that it
is over i will not let you leave me

bruce kimberly is mike's daughter

I'm sorry. I wanted to... I...

I'll pack my things in the kitchen and
I'll move in with Mom.

Take care.

When are you going to tell Daddy about
Mike?

He's been a little muck, yes.

You know, I think Daddy will like Mike.

Mike is strong.

And he really, like, goes after what he
wants. He's not afraid of anything.

He's more like Daddy than anyone I've
ever known.

Well, that's Mama.

Oh, you...

Shirley, called you out? I will tell you
what is going on here. That psycho

girlfriend of yours tried to kill my
mother.

It's probably just a cat fight between
two jealous women.

She came at me with a rock.

She tried to split my skull open. She
thinks I'm the one who won't get a

divorce. I'm telling you, Leonard, I
have had it with the two of you. I'm

to see to it that that lunatic is locked
up.

Now, Shirley, come on.

Look, Marty is young and immature, but
that's no reason to throw her in jail

now. Come on.

Look, you promised to drop the charges
and I promised

to give you a divorce.

What do you say? We got a deal?

Get rid of her, Leonard.

For your own sake, get rid of her.

I can't get rid of her.

She knows too much.

The Craigslist killer strikes again.

It's my wife, baby.

Hey.

What are you doing out here all by
yourself?

I wasn't even sure I'd be welcome.

All the trouble your mother and I've
been having.

Of course you're welcome. You're my
father. That comes first.

You know that.

You and Mike found a house yet?

Yeah, a really cute one out in the
country near Covington.

Covington?

That's over an hour away.

Daddy, I'm 24 years old. I have two
kids. I have a new husband, and I need a

start. I think that being away will
really help things.

It is only an hour away.

I know. You're right. You're right.

How about your special present?

You did? What?

A life insurance policy.

I'll keep it at my house. Make all the
payments.

You got me an insurance policy?

No, not you. For money.

You kids just don't think about those
sort of things. But that's what a

for. Look after your future.

I just want to make sure, no matter what
happens, my little girl will always be

okay.

Daddy? Oh, God, you scared me. How'd you
get in here?

I'm sorry, Carol. I didn't mean to scare
you.

You look awful.

What's wrong? Can't you sleep?

No.

No sleep. No sleep for me.

No sleep.

Is it your arm? Does it hurt really bad?

They don't want to pay me for it.

The insurance bastards are fighting me.
They say it wasn't an accident. They

think I did it on purpose.

They think I did this on purpose.

Look at it, Carol Lee.

Look at it.

This is how much I've suffered.

For my family. For you.

What more do I have to do? How many more
pieces of myself do I have to give?

I'm in a hole.

I dug myself in a hole. I don't know
what to do.

I'm in a hole.

You'll get out of it. You always get out
of it.

Daddy, just try and get to sleep. We'll
talk about this all morning, okay?

Come here, boy.

Hey, I missed you.

Go inside anywhere.

Well, it's good to have you home.

You know, I got a visit the other night
from Daddy.

Oh. Well, isn't this great?

Hi, honey. How was your trip? Are you
tired?

Everything go all right? I'm sorry.

Yeah.

What happened? Did something go wrong?
Yeah, almost.

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell.

What's with your old man? What'd he step
into now?

The insurance company won't pay for his
hand.

What the hell are we supposed to do
about that?

Well, um, I thought that, you know,
since we seem to be doing so well

financially, that maybe we could lend
him a few thousand dollars until he gets

his thing straightened out. A few
thousand dollars?

Oh, sure, just hand it over to him.

Yeah.

Oh, this is great, Carol.

I go down to Mexico every month buying
weed so that... What?

What the hell did you... You told me you
were down there buying jewelry!

I told you that, Carol, because that's
what you wanted to hear.

Oh, I envy you.

Oh, I really do. That's an incredible
talent you have, seeing only what you

to see.

Oh, you just like your mama, ain't you?

Here.

You take that, and you give that to
Daddy.

But you make sure you tell him that
that's from that working -class son -in

of his, okay?

with my father.

He's busy right now.

You know, you should call before you
come over.

Her Highness is here.

Danny, what is wrong with you?

Nothing.

Nothing's wrong with me.

Well, you care what's wrong with me.
What are these pills? Where are you

them? Well, the damn pills the doctors
give you know better than aspirin.

What do you want? What are you doing
here?

Well, the other night you told me that
you were in trouble.

I thought this might help you.

What you going to do, money?

Mike got it.

How?

He's been smuggling dope from Mexico.

You got this selling dope?

Yes.

I don't want this money.

But, Daddy, you told me... I'm going in.

What?

Whatever Mike's doing, I want to be part
of it.

We can be partners. He can make some
runs for me.

If Mike knew that I told you, he would
have my head.

I'm broke.

There's no way out for me.

No, I can't do it. Yes, you can. He
loves you. You can talk him into it.

Daddy, you are asking me too much. Too
much?

How can I ask you too much?

After everything I've given you, I gave
you life.

Oh, Caroline, you all have left.

I mean, if you turn your back on me, if
you abandon me, then I don't see any

reason to go on living.

Hey, girl, do this.

Okay,

fine. Well, if it's for me, then I want
you to do this for me. No.

That is all I'm asking. Just one more
run. Drop it.

Look, baby, I'm losing it.

I'm losing my edge. Cops can smell that.
Dealers can smell that.

It's time for me to get out, okay?

I will go with you.

Whatever happens to you happens to me,
but please, Mike, I have never seen him

like this. He is talking about suicide.

Oh, this is just great.

Two days ago, you're all ticked off
because I'm talking about smuggling

Now you're willing to go with me all
because of him.

All the damage that man's done, and
still whenever he wiggles his little

fingers, you just... Mike!

I cannot say no to him. I'm sorry.

Yes, you are.

Okay, Carol.

Fine. I'll do it for you, not for him.

And after that, I don't care if he
threatens to hang himself in the

Bridge. I don't want to hear another
damn word about your father in this

again. Do you understand that?

You gotta be kidding me.

What do you mean it's gone?

What do you mean my money is gone?

Yours and mine.

Man, we made the buy. 150 keys.

Five miles outside of Nueva Vista, the
Federales stopped us. They busted us

flat. And they just let you walk away?

They ripped us off, man.

All the weed, all the cash. We're lucky
we got out of there with our lives.

You made this whole thing up. You took
my money, went down there, had a nice

little vacation, and you come back down
here with this cockamamie story.

I was staring down the barrel of an M
-16.

Your daughter was that close to getting
thrown in a Mexican prison. Do you know

what they would have done to her in
there? Do you even give a damn? I want

money. Every cent of it. I'm warning
you.

You're warning me?

Who the hell do you think you're talking
to? One of your fawning little

daughters? You beg me to make this run
for you, man? I put my ass on the line

for you!

I owe you nothing, old man. Do you
understand that?

Nothing!

Explain to him why it'd be better if he
gave him my money.

You explain what could happen if he
doesn't.

Hi.

My cash was wrapped up in that deal.

After everything I've busted my ass for
you and the kids,

what am I supposed to do now?

I think that we should maybe take
whatever we have left and just give it

Daddy.

Okay, Daddy.

What do you want to give Daddy?

Is this what you want to give Daddy?

Is this enough for Daddy? Is this enough
for Daddy? Tell me what Daddy's got to

know!

I'm sorry.

Carol, I said wait!

Carol!

Hurry, here he goes.

Other horses are catching up. You gotta
run faster.

Carol.

Can I get you something else?

Another blanket? Some more pillows?

I feel like such a fool, Mama.

How could I not have seen what was right
in front of my face?

Because you couldn't.

I think, Carol, you accept all the
little lies and deceits at

first because you're young and in love.

You want to believe the best about the
man you married. Pretty soon it just

easier looking the other way.

Until one day you just don't know who
that man is anymore.

You don't know who you are.

That's what you have to do.

Take some time and figure out who you
are.

Morning. Now, look at you.

What's with this?

I got a job.

You what?

Yeah. I'm a receptionist at a doctor's
office.

I got an apartment in River Ridge. The
kids and I are going to move in next

week. Oh.

Hey, I got a job, too.

Working construction over in Slidell.

Fifty miles each way, but money's sure
good.

Hey, Carol, I...

I haven't had a drink the whole time
you've been gone.

Look, I'm sorry for what I did.

I sure would like you to come home. I'd
like us to work things out.

No.

Why?

I think I need some time, Mike.

Okay, I'll be patient.

I gotta go.

Okay.

Hey, uh...

So your father Marty finally got
married.

Yeah, last month.

I don't think he had any way around it.
Yeah.

He gave me a call a couple days ago.

Said he wants to sit down and work
things out.

What? Yeah, he had a hold of some pot.

Wants me to help him unload it.

Mike, don't go. Wherever he wants you to
meet him, don't go.

Why not?

Because he'll kill you.

You still see him some big bad marine,
don't you?

Look, he ain't nobody to be afraid of.
Mike, please, I'm telling you, don't go.

Look, Carol, maybe this little deal put
the bad blood behind us.

You better get on. You're going to be
late for work.

I'll call you when everything's set,
okay?

I'm really glad you decided to come.

Yes? Evening, ma 'am. I'm Detective
Walter Gorman, and this is Detective

Sergeant Gus Clavery.

Does Mrs.

Mike Holland reside here?

Are you Mike Collins' wife?

Yes.

I'm sorry to inform you of this, ma 'am.

But your husband has been killed.

No!

Thanks for coming, sweetheart.

I knew you'd come.

Daddy, what'd you do?

I killed him, baby.

I plugged him right through the heart.

I waited for my side, I caught him over
here, and I pulled a gun on him. I meant

for him to drive to the mall.

I wanted to shoot him there and make it
look like a robbery.

He grabbed my gun, so I shot him.

He hit his foot, stuck down and
accelerated, crashed into a tree.

My head, thank God, I didn't get knocked
out.

I ran on home and morning up, cleaned
myself up.

Well, don't look at me like that.

I did it for you.

You told me how he was drinking, how he
hit you.

You did it all, didn't you? You killed
George. You did that to your hand. You

did everything.

It's a matter of survival.

I do whatever I have to do.

Now you have to help me. We can get
through this if we stick together. You

exactly what I say. Just tell the police
that Mike hated me. He had a gun. No, I

won't do it. He hated me and he wanted
to rob me. I can't do it. Yes, you can.

Yes, you can. Yes, you will.

But I gave you everything you ever
wanted.

If you can't do this one thing for me,
then as far as I'm concerned, I don't

have a daughter.

Thank you.

First, he confesses to you, and then he
asks you to lie for him?

I mean, he's making you an accessory,
Carol, and he's going to take you down

with him. But it was self -defense.

He told me so himself.

Mike pulled a gun on him. It was murder.
He killed him.

Just like he killed my husband.

Carol, if you do this, if you go to the
police and sign a statement against your

daddy, he might come after you. Oh, Ma.
This is a man who shot off his own hand,

Nancy. The only thing he knows is
survival.

The fact that you're his child won't be
enough to stop him.

What about Marty?

Can we put her in jail?

I will go with you and I will stand
behind any statement you make. Well, I

won't. I won't throw Daddy to the wolves
no matter what he did.

He killed two human beings, Nancy. He
broke the law.

What about honor thy fatherhood? What
about that law?

Okay, okay, girls, that's enough.

Carol, the only one who can make this
decision is you.

If we had gone to the police after
George died, then Mike might still be

If we don't go now, if we let Daddy get
away with this, who's next?

Okay, Mr. Holland, this is your
statement saying that Leonard John Fagot

confessed to you the deliberate killing
of your husband, Mike Holland.

And one more thing.

If after making this statement you feel
you have reason to fear for your life,

sign right here.

Will you please describe for us
circumstances surrounding your meeting

Holland on the evening of September the
11th, 1976?

Mr. Holland showed up uninvited at my
house that evening.

I agreed to meet with him in the privacy
of his car.

Upon entering the car, he pulled a gun
and demanded $2 ,000 from me.

At which point I grabbed for the gun and
it went off. I don't know how many

times.

The next thing I remember is the car
careening backwards crashed into a tree.

flew forward, cracked my head on the
dash. I was disoriented.

Ran to the faith to my house.

Mr. Fagot, this gun, the weapon used to
murder Mike Holland,

was found behind some books in your
library.

Now, how do you suppose it came to be
there?

I don't know. As I said, I hit my head.
I was in a state of confusion.

I see.

Now, Mr. Fagot...

If this shooting was, as you claim, a
matter of self -defense, can you explain

the coroner's finding that two bullets
were fired into Mike's head after he was

already dead?

No.

Well, how did you feel about your son
-in -law, Mr. Faggo?

He was, uh...

No good, loser.

Did you kill him?

I won't dignify that with an answer.

How you doing?

You want anything?

Coffee? I don't know if I can do it,
Joanne.

I don't know if I can go in there and
point my finger at him and send him to

jail for the rest of his life.

Oh, Carol.

When we were growing up, Daddy did
everything for us.

He provided for us.

He protected us.

But I don't think he ever loved us.

Now, he puts you in this position, and I
want him to get what he deserves, but

not if it's going to destroy you.

Whatever you decide, I'll support you.

Carol, juries find it very unsettling
when someone testifies against their

parent.

They're not comfortable with that.

Now, they won't be looking for a reason
to hate you.

Your father's attorneys are going to try
and give him that reason.

Try to discredit you.

Destroy your credibility.

Is this supposed to be some kind of a
pep talk?

There are going to be two people on
trial in there.

Your father and you.

Now, whatever they come up with,
whatever they throw at you, tell the

Plain and simple.

Just tell the truth.

Your Honor, the prosecution called Carol
Holland to the stand.

Raise your right hand.

Do you swear that the testimony you're
about to give is the truth, the whole

truth? There's nothing but the truth, so
help you God.

The fighter has been nominated for the
sixth Golden Globe Award.

A team of cardiologists have determined
that, with proper medical supervision,

Mr. Fagot is fit enough to withstand the
rigors of this trial. You may swear,

Ms. Holland, in.

Raise your right hand.

Do you swear the testimony you're about
to give is true?

So help me God.

Would you please identify the person in
this photograph?

Carol. It's Mike.

Will the witness speak louder so the
court can hear?

It's Mike, Mike Holland.

Now, Carol, will you tell the court
about a conversation you had with your

father the morning after Mike's death?

He said that he called Mike over to the
house and that he waited for him

outside.

And...

And

then what, Carol?

And then he said he killed him. He said
he plugged him through the heart.

Carol, do you still love your father?

Yes.

No further questions, Your Honor.

You were estranged from your husband at
the time of his death, is that correct?

Yes.

Was this your first marriage?

No, I was married once before.

Oh, to whom?

Bruce Applegarth.

Were you faithful to your first husband?

I was seeing Mike during my marriage to
Bruce.

How many children do you have?

I have a son and a daughter.

And who is the father of your daughter?

Bruce Applegarth is the legal father.

I will ask you once again, Mrs. Holland,
and I will remind you that you are

under oath.

Who is the natural father of your
daughter?

Mike Holland.

And are you now dating a man by the name
of Steve Donahue?

Yes.

Has Mr. Donahue stayed with you
overnight?

Yes.

In other words, Mrs. Holland, you were
married to one man, and during that

you had another man's child.

Within months of the death of your
second husband, you are sleeping with

another man. Is that right?

Yes.

Your Honor, I have no further questions
of this witness.

Does the prosecution have any questions
on redirect?

No, Your Honor. Not at this time.

How could you let that happen? How could
you let them tear her apart like that?

The jury needed to know what kind of a
man Leonard is.

When he went after Carol, he put a noose
around his neck.

You were great up there, Carol.

You did a good job.

State of Louisiana versus Leonard John
Fagot.

We, the members of the jury, find the
defendant guilty as charged

for the crime of second -degree murder.

The defendant will appear before me one
week of the day percentage.

The court is now adjourned.

I hope you're happy. You crucified him,

your own flesh and blood.

Well, Mike Holland is somebody's flesh
and blood.

And George Westerfield is somebody's
flesh and blood.

Judas's. You're nothing but a bunch of
Judas's.

That was the last time I saw my father.

He was sentenced to 40 years of hard
labor without the benefit of probation,

parole, or suspension of sentence.

Marty was charged with an accessory
after the fact.

Her trial would be next.

Daddy was released on bond pending an
appeal.

We all knew he'd never go to jail.

We knew he'd find some way to get out of
it.

I found his body in the trunk of his car
in the motel parking lot.

He had been shot once in the head with a
large caliber weapon.

The police felt it was a suicide staged
to look like a murder.

When they searched his house, They found
insurance policies totaling more than

$1 million.

They were never able to determine who
placed Daddy in the trunk and drove the

car to that location.

The case remains listed as an unsolved
homicide.

Because his appeal was still pending
when he died, Daddy's conviction was

vacated. The charges against Marty were
dropped.

Mama wouldn't go to the funeral.

She said it was no longer her place to
be there.

For years after his death, I kept having
the same dream.

I would see Daddy.

in a park or a field. In my dream, he
was very much alive.

I would run up to him and shout, Daddy,
it's me, it's your daughter Carol.

He'd turn and look at me strangely, and
then he'd say, I'm sorry, young lady.

I'm afraid you're mistaken.

I have no daughters.
