All language subtitles for 1997 - My Stepson My Lover

I wished for someone to love.

A husband, a child.

I wished to make my home at Cora Farms.

Be careful what you wish for.

Might come true.

Gina? This guy is...

pin with chest pains and send the intern
out here ASAP.

Doctor,

they need you inside.

Thank you, nurse.

Okay, let's give him five milligrams of
morphine and keep an eye on that O2

saturation. Okay, doctor. He's fine now.
He's stable.

I'll be back when I can. You'll be okay.

Give me something.

Liv.

Liv.

Good.

We're going to spend our lives in this
hospital.

Tell me about it. Yeah, well, I have a
husband, you know.

At least I think I have.

And one of these days, you're going to
start dating again.

That's what I think it means.

Thanks, but no thanks. You're not going
to even let me tell you about it? Nope,

not interested.

Anyway, you don't need my help. It's for
you.

Open it. For me?

What is it?

Mmm.

It's nice.

Who sent it? I don't know, but it's gone
right back.

You can't do that through a heart,
Peyton.

My name is Richard Corey.

And you saved my life, remember?

I was just doing my job.

Sorry, but it's against hospital policy.

No, no, I don't think so.

I checked.

Well, that's very generous, but it's
against my policy.

All right.

Well, how about dinner, then?

I'm going to be discharged tomorrow.

Good, I'm glad.

But I'll have to say no.

Well, then we have a hell of a problem.

She won't say yes, and I can't take no
for an answer.

Sure thing.

Oh, my Lord.

They're all for Mr.

Can't -Take -No -For -An -Answer.

Oh, along with this.

You started me.

Chicken again.

Oh.

Oh, my.

Diamonds?

You know I can't accept this. I don't
even know this man.

Are you crazy?

Maybe you think this is not what you
want.

But I know this is just what you need.

When was the last time you were out with
me?

Don't answer that, because I know.

I love you, too, Delia.

Our new playroom.

You know, you don't make it easy for
someone to say thank you.

Don't worry.

No strings attached.

But by any chance, you wouldn't be free
for dinner tomorrow night, would you?

Miss Stanley, I'm Mrs. Stewart, Mr.
Corey's executive assistant.

Please come out to the penthouse. His
plane was delayed. He'll be with you in

moment.

You look lovely.

I hope you didn't mind coming up alone.
My plane was held up.

Does your doctor know you're working?

No, no, no, no. It's a big secret.

But what else would I do?

You could give that poor old heart a
break.

Thank you, Walter.

I'm allowed one glass.

You're cheating and you know it.

How do you feel?

Right now I feel very, very good.

What you did was very generous.

It's already made a difference.

That's my ambition.

Make a difference.

You believe me, don't you?

Yeah, why wouldn't I believe you?

Because a beautiful woman should never
believe anything a man tells her.

I'll take that as a warning.

Good morning, lady.

Listen, I asked you here early because I
have a little surprise. There's

something I want to show you.

Dual control.

Don't let go.

It's beautiful.

Because you're here.

Someone once said never to believe
anything a man tells you.

Well, whoever told you that was an
idiot.

Where do you keep your salad spoons?

In the corner.

How is it?

It's incredible.

Where did you learn to cook like this?

I taught myself.

I didn't like going out.

Why not?

I made school. I needed an internship.

There wasn't time for much else.

How long were you married?

Eleven years.

We met while I was still in nursing
school.

Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out.

No, I'm not sorry. It didn't work out.

So, what do you really want, Caitlin?

Nothing complicated.

Someone to love, I guess.

You want kids?

Mm -hmm.

At least one. How about you?

I have a son.

His name's Eric.

His mother died 12 years ago.

Cancer.

Sorry.

Eric and I are never really close. I
don't know why.

I hope...

What?

Hope someday I have a chance to do
better.

I got a double shift tomorrow.

I guess you better go then.

Yes, you can.

Now can you tell me the name of the
infamous restaurant you're taking me to?

No, but I will tell you it took all of
my considerable influence just to get us

the reservation.

Good evening.

Right this way, please. I have a lovely
table just for you.

Where is everybody?

I thought it'd be crowded and noisy.

Something's up.

I never had live music before.

No? Something special going on?

Oh, yes.

Something very special.

Wait a minute.

How did you do this?

How could you have known?

Known about what?

Rick.

This was supposed to be my treat.

Did I make a mistake?

Oh.

I had my staff call every restaurant in
town.

I just wanted this to be.

I'm sorry I ruined this for you. All
right. We're here now.

Might as well open it.

Caitlin, I love you.

Please marry me and save me from myself.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.

and Mrs. Richard.

I hope you'll be very happy.

Please call me Clayton.

Thank you, Mother.

Congratulations. You know my wife.

Caitlin, this is Calder Williamson, our
district attorney.

How do you do? Congratulations.

And this questionable -looking character
is my lawyer, Preach Talbot.

May I kiss the brow or are you going to
keep speechifying?

Well, if I said no, you'd just get an
injunction.

Got to borrow this husband of yours.
We've got some very serious folks here.

Gorgeous. I'm so happy for you. Oh, I'm
glad you're here.

Congratulations, Mrs. Corey.

I'm Barbara Winstead. I'm vice chair of
the Parkland Hospital Committee.

I understand that's where you and
Richard met?

That's right. I'm a nurse.

Richard and I are old friends.

I'm sure he told you we were once
engaged.

No, he never mentioned it, but enjoy
yourself.

I need the break.

Hi, Ted.

Hi. Congratulations, ma 'am.

Thanks. Got some cake?

Oh, sure. The cake was great. Come on,
print. This is jumping.

Good girl.

I'll dig her.

Thanks, buddy.

She's a beautiful ride, isn't she?

I'm Kate.

Caitlin. Corey.

I know who you are. Excuse me.

Congratulations. Thanks.

This serving, perhaps you'd like
something to eat?

I don't think so. The one thing you
don't want to do with this crowd is get

the way when they're hungry.

They don't even leave the bones.

You speaking from experience?

Yeah, yeah, you could say that.

Then you worked here a long time.

Taking care of the horses, I mean.

Oh, um, I don't exactly take care of
them.

They kind of take care of me.

There you are.

I see you met my son.

What have you? I would have introduced
you before the ceremony if you'd showed

up on time.

Well, I got here, didn't I?

You think I deserve a congratulations?

Congratulations, Dad.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You want to come have a drink with us?

No, actually, I'm going to go take care
of Princess.

So, Mr.

and Mrs. Quarry.

Well, you finally met.

How do you think? Sweet enough?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Dropped out of every school I ever sent
him to.

Doesn't want to have anything to do with
the business.

Works as a bartender in some redneck
dive.

Rents a trailer out behind the place.

Well, perhaps he's just learning to be
independent.

I'll bet you were the same way when you
were his age.

No, no, no.

I didn't have the time or the luxury. I
believed in the unmentionable and having

a goal.

Well, there must be something he wants.

Oh, yeah.

Motorcycles and women.

Nothing wrong with that.

Go on.

How's my bride?

Very, very happy.

I'm so proud of you today.

You were the most beautiful woman there.

And you, my darling, were the richest
man.

My friends all think you're wonderful.

They can't wait to hear about the
honeymoon.

I was just thinking about that. Don't
you think Delia deserves better than to

hear about?

Two weeks in a Paris hotel when I don't
even let you out of the room.

Are you kidding? That's just what she
wants to hear about.

Well, then we might have a problem.

Now, don't get angry, but I booked a
cruise on a yacht

on the Mediterranean.

That means giving up my job.

No, not necessarily. You can take a
leave of absence. God knows you deserve

What if they won't release me?

Well, what if I told you it was all
arranged?

All I did was talk to the hospital
director, and I said, what if, and he

said, okay.

So you are officially on leave.

You can decide what you want to do and
get back.

And, of course, you can always say no.

Welcome back. I hope you had a wonderful
time. We did.

Oh,

it's absolutely beautiful.

Once belonged to Louis Napoleon with the
original bullets.

Thank you, sir.

And your phone and fax messages.

I've got to go back into town before I
can rest. I'll see you in a while.

If you're not too tired, we could go
over the household arrangements.

I'm fine.

Mr. Corey has one of the most extensive
small arms and military saddle

collections in the country, which I've
assisted him in cataloging. This is

Mr. Corey keeps his small valuables.

He has the only key and generally never
lets it out of his possession.

If you'll come into my office, I could
show you the menus for the week.

Who prepares them?

Normally, I do.

I've also prepared a list of committees
you'll be expected to sit on, country

club memberships, civic organizations
you sponsor.

Red underline is a must.

You're kidding.

The others are optional.

Mr. Corey has the only key and never
allows anyone else to have it.

However, an exception may be made in
your case.

As soon as you learn not to eat with
your fingers.

That's pretty good, but you better stop.
She's going to hear you. She's still

downstairs.

The social calendar of hers is a
powerful wreck.

I'm a working girl. The vacation's over.

I thought we agreed that you weren't
going to go back to work.

No, I only agreed to a leave of absence,
remember?

Caitlin, you're my wife now.

I can't have you working at an ordinary
job.

They'd be different if you edited a
fashion magazine or something like that.

Rick, I'm a nurse and a damn good one.

Are you ashamed of that?

No, no, of course not. You saved my
life.

But you can do so much more for the
hospital now than you ever could before.

You're raising money for that new
pediatric swing you said was so

knows what else? You can't do that kind
of thing working on a ward.

Now, come on.

Hey, I got to go to Bogota tomorrow, and
I want to leave behind a very contented

woman.

Reg?

Oh, hi, Delia.

No, I'm happy you called.

Mr. Corrigal.

Not that I know of.

Oh, you're pretty late.

I know. I gotta go. We got something on.

A red underline.

Which is it this time?

Versace or Dior?

Where's Benson?

Why? You gonna ask him for a job? Maybe.

After I redo the budget?

When did he start doing that?

I don't care. You tell him he better not
be there when I get there. I'm on my

way now.

Rick, what's wrong? I'm sorry, darling.
We got an emergency. I got to fly to

Peru.

You just got back. Can't this wait?

Unfortunately, no.

And I'm coming to... Caitlin, wait a
minute. Where I'm going is too remote.

too unsettled. I can't take you with me.

Rick, the reason I left my job was so I
could be with you.

I'm sorry. Not this time.

Not any time. Is that what you mean? The
answer is no.

I'll call you when I get settled.

If you need anything, you talk to Mrs.
Stewart.

I think you should wait until your
father gets home.

Mrs. Stewart, what are you worried
about? I'm not going to offer you...

you know how your father is about things
you borrow and don't bring back.

Well, I don't want to be...

responsible if any of these things
aren't returned.

It's all right, Mrs. Stewart. I'll take
full responsibility.

As you wish.

Thank you. I think she was about to call
the cops.

You know, I really should be angry with
you.

Why haven't you answered any of our
invitations?

Oh, yeah.

Sorry. Maybe next time.

Where are you going with those?

Kern Lake.

Where's that?

You wouldn't be interested.

Why? I like lakes.

I even like trees and bushes and shrubs.

Okay. It's about 30 miles north from
here.

Part of some property my father's going
to develop.

I don't even think he knows he owns it.

You should check it out sometime.

Hey, why not right now?

Whose cabin is this?

Mine. I'm building it.

By yourself?

That's right.

Does Rick know about this?

Nope. Squatter's right there.

Not an accomplishment.

You mean for a bum like me?

No, I mean without power tools.

I think your dad would be very pleased
to see this.

I didn't do it to please him, which is
impossible anyway.

You'd try?

Look, my dad is only interested in
getting what he wants.

Or haven't you figured that out yet?

I think you're misjudging him.

He cares about you a great deal.

Hey, you'd want to help.

I don't want his help.

Look, I got some more stuff to do, so
don't fall off.

Hello? Caitlin?

Richard. Walking out that way was wrong,
and I apologize.

There's just a lot at stake down here.

It's all right, darling.

How you doing? You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What are you up to?

Well, I saw Eric today. He came by the
house.

Looking for these?

Up here at Top Shore, remember?

You nervous?

I'm a nurse, remember?

Oh, right, the nurse.

Good dress.

Ta -da!

A little gift from your dad and me.

You mean from you? No.

It's late, Phil. Go home.

Don't get over these.

Hi. Hi.

I called the house. They said you'd be
here.

Have us some dinner. Nothing fancy. Just
some down -home cooking.

Sure.

My woman left me.

Guaranteed to put you on your ass.

I'm driving.

Suit yourself.

Yeah.

Jimmy on a very hot and muggy night in
Charlotte.

Morning, Parker.

Good morning, madam.

Did Eric come down yet? He left, madam.

About an hour ago.

One apprentice carpenter reporting for
duty.

All right, come here.

All right.

Hold it tight.

Wash it first.

No photos.

Got it.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Come on, you can tell me.

You know, you're a real surprise, lady.

I never figured my dad would connect
with someone like you.

No? Who'd you figure him to connect
with?

Oh, one of those society skeletons who
usually dates.

All bone structure, no belly.

Not your type, huh?

So what is?

Someone who's real.

Someone who's not afraid to get their
hands dirty.

I gotta go.

Watch your head.

Rick, I'm so glad you called. Are you
all right? I was getting worried.

Rick? We had to go down to the Amazon
Basin for a couple of days.

We were at our communication range.

When are you coming home, Rick?

I need you here.

I'm sorry, darling. Not for another
week, at least. I'll make it up to you

I get back.

We're fading.

Hey, Glenn.

If Eric calls, tell him you don't know
when I'll be back.

I expect you're busy all week.

Yes, ma 'am. Thanks.

Up high.

On the side.

Down below.

Up. Too fast.

I'm sorry to break this up, but these
little devils have to be fed.

Come on.

See ya.

You all right, Kate?

Yeah, I'm fine. Is something bothering
you?

No, I'm fine, really.

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd take you to lunch.

How'd you know I'd be here?

Called the house.

They wouldn't tell me where you were,
but I figured you'd be here.

Is he coming or not?

Can't. I'm waiting for a call from your
dad.

And I'm waiting for you, Kate.

Look, this isn't just going to go away.

You're fooling yourself if you think it
will.

Look, Eric, whatever you're thinking is
wrong.

I just want us to be a family.

A family.

It's a little late for that, don't you
think?

Stop, Eric.

I'm your father's wife. I'm going to
have his kids.

His kids?

My father can't have any kids.

He's had a vasectomy, or didn't he tell
you that?

Run home.

Whatever you say, Kate.

You mean the most recent contributors?

Richard must have a record of it.

Hold on.

I have to call you back.

Uh -huh. Bye.

A client requests the following is a
background check of the subject's past

history, personality traits, and
personal preference.

Why are you even talking to him?

No, listen.

Where is he?

It doesn't matter to me how you do it.
No, I don't care.

Hold on.

Mr. Corey.

God, it's good to be home.

I'll just be a minute, darling. This
can't wait.

Neither can I.

I'll call you back.

What's the matter?

I was looking for something in the
office when I found this.

You had me investigated, Rick.

Researched.

That's how you know about the
restaurant.

I needed to know who you were.

No, you manipulated me.

I wanted you, Caitlin.

I'm in the habit of getting what I want.
Is there something wrong with that?

There is when you lie.

And what is that supposed to mean?

You told me you wanted to have kids.

I meant that.

You've had a vasectomy, Eric.

Who told you that?

What's the difference?

The truth, isn't it?

Damn minute.

Go with me. Not until you hear me out.

A vasectomy is reversible. You're a
nurse. You ought to know that.

So I can still have kids if I want them.

If? When. I meant when.

And every time we made love, believing
you wanted us to conceive, it was a lie,

wasn't it? That's not true. I was going
to tell you.

What is something more important always
came up? My last trip was unavoidable.

I intended to tell you everything.
You're just going to have to believe

Then help me to believe it.

Help me not to feel like something you
bought, like some object in one of your

collections.

My marriage is based on trust, Rick, not
on investigations, phony promises and

lies.

I'll be at my club.

Have you had dinner?

It don't matter. I'm not hungry.

Well, it matters to me.

Look.

I bought these for you in Columbia.

They're perfectly matched.

I thought they would look wonderful
around your neck.

I'm sure you'll find room for them in
one of your display cases.

I was wrong.

I apologize for that. I should have
trusted you.

Let's call the doctor tomorrow.

We can try to start a family if that's
what you want.

I don't know what I feel.

Maybe we shouldn't have kids.

It doesn't matter to me. All I want is
you.

I missed you so much, Caitlin.

I'm not even sure if we have a marriage
anymore.

What are you saying?

I'm not happy, Ray.

Maybe I'm the wrong person for you.

This isn't the life I expected.

You can have a child or not.

But divorce is not an option.

I'm your wife, not a possession. This
isn't a business deal.

If you think that you can fight me, you
are wrong.

Mr. Corey called this morning from
Washington.

Do you want me to call him?

No, he just wanted me to let you know he
wouldn't be back this weekend.

Yes?

Mr. Corey, please.

It's his wife.

I'm sorry. Richard is in a meeting.

Perhaps you'd like to leave a message?

No, it's all right.

Don't go.

Kate!

Rick. Maybe you'd like to explain this
fax to me.

Did you think you could get away with
it?

Did you think you could make a fool out
of me?

Out of Richard Corey?

What are you talking about? Don't you
walk away from me.

Don't you think I know what's been going
on behind my back?

I know where you've been. I know who
you've been with. My son!

My own son!

You slut!

I'm going to take care of him and then
I'm going to come back here for you.

Ms.

Corey.

I'm Detective Gardner.

I'm sorry, this is just going to take a
few minutes.

There's one or two things I'd like to
clarify.

Now, I understand when you arrived at
your stepson's cabin on Kern Lake, your

husband was lying on the rocks below?

Uh -huh, that's right.

Why'd you all drive out there
separately?

We had an argument.

I tried to stop him, but he was out of
control.

An argument?

About what?

He was angry because I'd been helping
Eric.

He and Eric weren't getting on too well.

So it was just the three of you out
there, your husband, his son, Eric, and

Uh -huh, that's right.

I know you already made a statement.

Tell it to me again, okay?

He wanted to kill me.

He came after me with a gun.

I got my hands on it. I shoved him off
me.

He lost his balance and went for the
railing and then he was gone.

Came after you with a gun?

What kind of gun?

I don't know.

I think it came from his gun collection.

It looked like an old Derringer or
something.

Why would he do something like that?

Look, my father always loses it with me.

He always has. He doesn't need a reason.

Would it have anything to do with the
fact you're making a play for his wife?

She's a very beautiful lady.

I want a lawyer, and I want one now.

Do tell.

Dr. Reed, 1639.

Dr. Reed.

I'm sorry, Caitlin.

We couldn't save you.

It's all right.

It's all right, baby.

Everything will be all right.

What I need to know is what really
happened.

Richard believed that Eric and I were
having an affair.

Were you?

No.

Not an affair.

But you were attracted to each other.

Oh, Preach, I tried to prevent it from
happening.

Richard and I were having problems.

I asked him for a divorce, but he
refused.

Do you love Eric?

I'll do anything I can to help him.

Will you defend him, Preach?

All right, Caitlin.

I'll take the case. But I have to warn
you, it may get rough.

Morning, Calder.

Sorry, Preach.

Grand jury just delivered an indictment
for murder one.

We're talking self -defense here, and
you know it.

Richard pulled a gun on Eric, for
Christ's sake.

Well, we haven't found any gun, Preach.
How hard are you lucky?

I've known Eric since he was a baby. He
may be a little wild and unsettled, but

he's not a killer.

Where's your motive?

Money. Pure and simple.

Richard wouldn't give him any.

Eric made it appear as though he was
making a play for cable.

Richard took that bait.

Congratulations, Senator.

That is what you're running for, isn't
it?

We can forget bail now that the case is
political.

The prosecution will try to prove
premeditation.

All we have to raise is reasonable
doubt, showing the facts he received

night fed Richard off that, plus the
gun, which is why we have to find it.

Without it, we're running a one -legged
race.

Why haven't they found it yet?

Maybe they're not looking that hard. The
gun strengthens our case, not theirs.

But they should have found it by now, if
it exists.

Preach. Don't you believe, Eric?

That's your job.

Mine is to see who gets a fighting
chance.

We're doing everything we can to get you
out of here.

Talbot told me that they didn't find the
gun yet.

It was in his hand when he fell.

Are you certain?

Of course I'm certain, Kate.

Do you think I'm making this up?

No, of course not.

It has to be there.

What about the facts?

Mrs. Stewart gave a deposition denying
she sent it. Who else could have sent

She's a thing for my dad. This is her
chance to get back at you.

I want to know who you are.

Because you're all I'm worried about.

And, uh, I need to know that you still
believe in me.

Not as long as I have you.

Quiet, please. The court is now in
session.

State of North Carolina versus Eric
Michael Corey.

Honorable Judge Eubanks presiding.

Ladies and gentlemen, the people will
prove that Eric Michael Corey willfully

and intentionally murdered his father,
Richard Corey, in cold blood and for the

single and express purpose of getting
his hands on the money in Richard

estate.

Money which he desperately needed.

and which his father would not provide.

We will prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that his plan was deliberate and

executed with care and premeditation,
and that it stemmed from a long

hatred of the victim, regardless of the
fact that he was his own flesh and

blood.

So, after carefully dredging the lake
bed, you were unable to find even a

of the gun that the defendant described.

That's right.

You're a witness.

Detective, the defendant described the
gun in question as an antique Derringer

four -shot pistol once belonging to
Napoleon III. Is that correct?

I believe so, sir.

Now, this weapon was normally kept in a
locked... gun cabinet in Richard Corey's

home and was an important part of his
collection.

As far as I can determine. But the
cabinet was locked when you got there

gun in question was missing, correct?

Yes, sir.

How many keys were there?

Two, as far as we can determine.

One was kept in a safety deposit box.

So there was only one of the key, the
one shown here.

Apparently. Can you tell us who had
exclusive possession of that key?

Richard Corey.

And where did you find this famous key?

It was in the victim's pocket.

In the victim's pocket.

Then the only possible conclusion that
could be drawn is that the deceased took

it from his gun collection and had it
with him on the night he died. Is it

possible, detective, that the reason you
have not found the gun in question is

because you aren't really looking for
it.

Objection, Your Honor. Withdrawn. No
further question.

Mrs. Stewart, how long have you worked
for the Corey family?

Seventeen and a half years.

Do you recognize this?

Yes, sir.

That's the fax Mr. Corey received when
he was in Washington.

That's the one he brought back with him
the night that he was killed?

Yes.

Your Honor, the state would like to
enter this as Prosecution 14.

Take a moment, if you would please, and
examine this.

And tell us if you sent that fax to Mr.
Corey.

I know I didn't. Any fax that I send has
a code on it, and this doesn't have

any.

So someone else sent it.

Someone who could have had access to
your office.

The defendant, perhaps.

Objection. Conjecture and prejudicial.

Your Honor, the defendant has visited
the Corey estate on numerous occasions.

used to live there.

There's no dispute about that?

I'll allow it.

Yes, it's a possibility.

As well as anyone else who lived in the
house.

Mrs. Stewart, were you present during
the period when the defendant's mother

living?

Yes.

Would you tell us how she died?

She had a fatal reaction to her
medication.

Mrs. Stewart, isn't it a fact that the
defendant's mother committed suicide by

overdosing on sleeping pills?

Objection! This witness has no expertise
to draw this conclusion.

Your Honor, I have the coroner's report
which corroborates her testimony, which

I intend to enter into evidence at the
proper time.

All right.

Overruled. Now, Mrs. Stewart, is it not
also a fact That Mrs. Corey wanted out

of that marriage.

And that Mr. Corey would not give her a
divorce. And as a result of that, she

grew more and more depressed.

Yes, I believe that is true.

Then how would you characterize a
defendant's attitude toward his father

his mother's death?

Mrs. Stewart, you are still under oath.

Eric hated his father.

He blamed him for his mother's death.

Silence.

The court will recess until 10 o 'clock
Monday morning.

We've got to have that gun without a
good cook.

Yes, you can. Come on now.

Did your husband suspect you were having
an affair?

So the gun was under the house all the
time. It must have landed in one of the

drains and been washed down during the
recent rain. That's why the police

couldn't find it. Now they'll have to
believe him. Only we may have a custody

problem which could make this evidence
inadmissible since no one was with you

when you found it. Oh, come on, Preach.
There must be something we can do.

There is.

We have to establish doubt in the minds
of the jury that Eric committed murder.

It means putting you on the stand. And
the minute I do, I become your deadliest

enemy.

Is the defense ready, Mr. Talbot?

It is, Your Honor.

The defense has only one witness, Mrs.
Caitlin Corey.

Please raise your right hand, put your
left hand on the Bible.

You swear to tell the truth, the whole
truth, nothing but the truth, nothing

the truth. Mrs.

Corey, will you tell the court how you
discovered your husband's gun when the

police and the defense's own divers
could not?

Well, I realized that it could have
slipped into one of the drains and been

washed down during the recent rain.

So I searched under the deck and found
it hidden.

amongst the rock.

Why didn't you notify the police that
you were going to search the area so

could be present when you found it? I
didn't think about it. I didn't go there

to search. It just happened when I saw
that the gutters were blocked.

How did you know about the drainage
system, Ms. Corey? Are you an architect?

No, but I helped with some of the
building of the cabin.

Helped to build?

Would you explain that?

Eric was building the cabin single
-handed, and I merely helped sometimes.

And where was your husband at this time?

On a business trip out of the country.
So it was just the two of you, alone

together at the cabin.

Mrs. Corey, did you plant this gun at
the lake?

That's ridiculous.

Oh, I don't think so.

In point of fact, Mrs. Corey, I intend
to prove that you are the last person

this jury should believe.

Your Honor,

I move to declare Ms. Corey a hostile
witness.

Silence or I'll clear the court.

Counsel will approach.

What the hell are you trying to pull,
Talbot?

She's your witness.

She's my only witness and the key to
this case, Your Honor.

I'm willing to let him play out his
hand.

Since the prosecution has no objection,
I'll declare accordingly.

Proceed.

Mrs. Corey, you knew of your husband's
violent temper, did you not?

Yes. Not only knew, but experienced it
firsthand. He struck you, did he not?

Yes. So that the very allegation that
you might be having a relationship with

his son, the son who hated and
constantly humiliated him, would be

him into a violent, uncontrollable rage,
a rage in which he might well wish to

commit murder, even upon his own flesh
and blood.

I don't know. Well, I think you do.

I think you maneuvered father and son to
suit your own purposes, exactly like a

black widow about to devour its mate.
Only this time, you had the whole family

to snack on. Mr. Talbot, this is not a
summation.

The jury will disregard the last remark.

I stand corrected, Your Honor.

Mrs. Corey, you worked at the cabin,
didn't you? You even helped build that

drain system.

Yes. Yet...

You waited until the prosecution had
completed its case before making an

to recover the gun.

Why?

I don't know. I think you knew full well
that finding the gun the way you did,

coming so late in the trial, would look
like a vain attempt to save the

defendant and be believed by no one.
That's not true.

That's not true. Mrs. Corey, what
motivated you?

to marry your husband?

Um, I married Rich because I...

I believed I loved him.

Yet, within less than two years of your
marriage, you were having an affair with

his son. Is that not true?

Silence!

One more outburst and I'll clear the
court.

Witness will answer the question.

No, not an affair.

All right, then.

Exactly what is it called when you sleep
with your husband's son?

Stop it. Did you hear me?

The defendant will be silent or be
restrained.

Continue. Mrs. Corey.

Sit down.

Did you not plan to seduce the defendant
in order to pit father against son in a

deliberate attempt to gain total control
of Richard Corey's estate?

No, I did not.

Mrs. Corey, did you have sex with the
defendant Eric Corey, yes or

no?

Continue.

I ask you again, Mrs. Corey, did you
have sex with the defendant, Eric Corey,

the cabin on Kern Lake the night of
April 19th?

Answer the question.

And was your husband informed of this
liaison?

Yes. In fact, did he not rush back that
very night? Did he not confront you with

an accusation of your infidelity and
incest? Did he not then immediately rush

from the house in a violent rage in an
attempt to punish his son?

Yes.

No further questions.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is your
murderer.

Suspense grips this city tonight as the
jury retires to deliberate in the

Richard Corey murder trial, a city still
agog with the effects of the testimony

from the single defense witness, Mrs.

Caitlin Corey, who in a spectacular
twist revealed that she and the murdered

industrialist's son...

I know how you must hate me, but I came
to tell you that the jury's deadlocked.

It looks as though we have a mistrial.

Callers indicated that there's not
enough evidence to retry for either

one or manslaughter.

So you see, Caitlin, we won.

Now I have to ask you to forgive me.

You disliked me from the beginning,
didn't you?

No.

I just didn't think you were a suitable
wife for Mr. Corey.

I could say more, but I've always been
loyal to this family.

That's very strange, considering your
testimony.

I told the truth.

But not all of it. Oh, you and I both
know that.

Is this some kind of blackmail?

Mr. Corey left me very well provided
for.

I don't need anything from you.

I don't think you really want to know
the truth.

What truth?

That you had me followed and traced my
calls?

I wouldn't demean myself.

Not even for Richard.

What I said at the trial was true.

I never sent him anything.

But the fact did come from this house.
The phone records prove that.

If you didn't send it, how did Mr. Corey
get the information?

Unless it came from you, only one other
person could have sent it.

Someone who knew this house intimately
and had access to that fax.

Someone who spent his entire life
spitting in his father's face.

Holy... Yes.

Eric.

You can't prove it, can you?

Well, why don't we ask him?

You saw Eric here that day, didn't you,
Teddy?

Oh, don't worry.

He would never testify against his hero.

Would you, Teddy?

Goodbye, Mrs. Corey.

I hope you're both very happy.

Okay, everybody.

What's the matter, Caitlin? You seem
worried about

something.

I just keep listening for that knock at
the door.

Like I'm expecting the police, but I
don't know.

No chance of that. There had to be some
pretty strong evidence to persuade the

DA to retry.

Stuart came by.

She's still climbing. She didn't send it
back.

Then who could have sent it?

Great way to work that, huh? Oh, so
cool.

Hey.

Well, you're up early.

I wanted to ride before breakfast.

Okay. So what do you want to do later?

I thought I'd drive over to see Delia.

She's having some friends over.

And what about the press cultures?

I'll be careful.

I'll see you later.

Hello? Hello, this is Parkland Hospital.

Can I speak to Mr. Corey, please.

She called about the volunteer schedule.

Yeah.

Mrs.

Corey won't be participating for a
while, but she'll call you when she's

available. Thank you.

Julia, hi, it's Eric. How you doing,
Eric? I'm fine, thank you.

Listen, Kate won't be coming in today.

How

was

the ride?

Terrific.

Good.

Before I forget, Delia called.

She had to cancel.

Did the hospital call you to give them a
date to help you available?

Yeah, actually they did.

I told them that you wouldn't be coming
in for a while.

Why'd you do that?

Because it's too soon. You'd be dodging
reporters every minute.

I can't spend every minute in this
house.

Not even with me?

What's the matter?

We went through hell so we could be
together.

I need you, Caitlin.

I feel like I'm losing you.

I'm with you, Eric.

I just need room to breathe.

That's fine.

Sorry that I got so possessive.

I've always hated this place.

Look, I got an idea.

Why don't we go up to the lake?

We could take a swim.

We could even stay the night.

It's too thin.

Okay, I know it's been hard.

But that's our special place.

We can't let what happened destroy that.

What are you doing in here?

Everything has to be inventoried for the
probate, and the police will have the

key. Do you know if there's another one?

Not that I know of.

Look, Brian's too drunk to drive, so I'm
going to run him home.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just a little partied out, I guess.

I know what you mean.

Well, I'll see you soon.

what's going on i'm going away for a few
days why

i need some time by myself time to think
things over

all right you just hear me out all right

now i know that things haven't been all
that great between us kate we have to

expect that after everything we've been
through all right This is what we're

going to do.

We're going to Hawaii.

The company has a ranch there.

It's remote.

It's quiet.

We'll be all alone. No one will bother
us.

Okay.

We'll go.

You're right. That's just what I need.

So, I have some more arrangements to
make.

I've already ordered a plane.

We'll leave tomorrow night.

You'll love it.

Preach, it's Caitlin Corey.

What's the matter, Caitlin? You sound
terrible.

I found a duplicate key to Rick's gun
case hidden up at Eric's cabin.

When I asked him about it, he lied, said
he didn't have one.

Well, maybe he was just trying not to
complicate things.

Listen, Preach, Mrs. Stewart didn't send
the fax. Eric did.

The stable boy saw him here the day it
was sent.

Don't you see? He knew what Rick would
do.

Don't take any chances. Get out of the
house now.

What about what I just... told you. It's
circumstantial. We'd need something

more solid, something that showed
intent.

But let me worry about that. Just get
over here as soon as you can.

Okay.

Push the boulder all the way through.

Now tighten it up.

There you go.

What you looking for, Kate?

You told Richard.

You knew what he'd do when he found out
about us, and then you removed the bolts

from the railings.

You don't know what you're talking
about.

You deliberately murdered him. I have
the evidence right here.

That ain't evidence.

It is when I use it to support my
testimony.

A wife can't testify against her
husband, Kate.

You think I'd marry you now?

After this?

Knowing you planned it from the
beginning?

Not from the beginning.

Only after I fell in love with you. I
had to have you, Kate. Don't you

understand that? You did it for the
money, not for me.

Yes, Kate, I needed money.

So I could keep you the way he did.

And give you the kind of life that you
wanted. That's the reason you married

in the first place, isn't it? I loved
him.

I never cared about his money.

But he didn't want a wife. He wanted a
trophy, someone he could display. And

you're just like him. I am nothing like
him, Kate.

He wanted to possess you.

I only want to love you.

It don't matter.

Not now.

Look, we can go wherever we want.

We never have to come back here.

It's too late, Eric.

I can't let you go, Kate. Stop it, Eric.

What am I supposed to do?

Because I can't live without you. You
tell me what I'm supposed to do. You've

got to tell him the truth.

Give me a picture, Kate. Kate, you give
me a picture, Kate.

Good afternoon, Mr. Talbot. Mrs.

Corey's in a meeting. Would you like
your drink in the library, sir?

Thank you, Parker.

Thank you, Parker.

You're most welcome.

And finally, the plans for expanding the
new children's wing as part of the

Richard Corey Pavilion will be ready for
our final approval at next meeting.

And that's the last item, so I think we
can close.

Thanks, you both.

Thank you, please.

Mr. Talbot is here.

Oh, good.

Tell him I'll be right down. Yes, ma
'am.

Hi, Pree.

David.

Good to see you. Good to see you.

Thank you, Mayor. I'll take over now.

Hi, darling. You ready for your ice
cream?
