555-50136.

In case you check in, I'm heading for the airport early.

Meet me for coffee.

I'm going to mark you tardy.

I've got court today.

You working late?

I can if you are.

Thought I'd take you to the palm.

I'm going to get my dad one of those weather radios.

The nothing but weather ones.

Now that he's on the water.

Get him a book. Let him dope it out for himself. He'd like that.

You'd like that.

He doesn't think the weatherman's going to lie to him.

He wants to know if a hurricane's coming.

What's wrong with the bomb?

It's Friday night. It'll be crowded.

You like it crowded.

Okay, let's go to the bomb.

If you're just killing time.

Help!

Did he talk about God?

We'll ask him if God said anything back.

We can get him to say God speaks to him, then we're... That thing's cordless, you

know. What else do you think?

I'll go home.

Truth, he's on the phone. He'll be right down.

What does he know about the democratic process?

I gotta go.

Got any cash?

Sure. I need about a half a million bucks.

Harold Cornelius is gonna run against me at the right end. Cornelius?

He's a nutcase.

A chain of drugstores and a lot of money.

Where are you going? New York.

New Hampshire will not stand for him buying a seat in Congress.

This guy is Elmer Fudd.

Yeah, sure.

Jesse's birthday's Wednesday. I said we'd both be back home.

Sure.

A line of thunderstorms approximately 50 miles wide moving from 250 degrees at

15 knots from the top to flight level 350.

Wind gusts to 60 knots and possible cloud to cloud lightning.

Visibility occasionally 1-5.

I said I wouldn't take PAC money.

That's when we didn't need it.

What do I say now?

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

to help you God? I do.

Name and occupation for the jury, please.

William Vandenbroek. I'm a sergeant in the Internal Affairs Division of the

District of Columbia Police Department.

And what's your job, Sergeant?

Internal Affairs is responsible for investigating incidents or allegations

of misconduct, false sworn officers, civilian employees.

He doesn't think we're going to let him get away with that, does he?

Depose Henry.

Sure.

I'll see you.

Sergeant Vandenbrock, you had to take a test to make sergeant, didn't you?

It was a written exam, yeah.

If I put into evidence the records that show 56 officers took the test same time

as you and you did better than 54 of them, you think that'll be about right?

I could look it up. Well, the point is, you're a smart guy.

Number two on the written, 11 years a sergeant. How come you're not a

lieutenant? Your Honor, where are we going with this? You think it's because

you're white?

Get out! She cannot do that, Your Honor!

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm looking for a gift for my wife. Is there an all-weather radio, or

just weather?

It's for my father-in-law in Florida.

Yeah, yeah, I got a couple back here. I'll show you.

From a Southern Airlines spokesperson, a normal crew is two pilots and three

cabin attendants. The aircraft involved is a 737, which normally is configured.

Seats are anywhere from 96 to 100. Where is this?

Down in the bay.

National Transportation Safety Board officials are on route to the site.

Perhaps about 20 miles south of the city limits where Southern Airlines flight

437 to Miami went down about an hour ago with a reported 103... Anything

happening?

School cops at King took a nine out of this girl's locker.

Same gun got logged into evidence six weeks ago.

Weapon in a drive-by. ...the altitude of reportedly 8,000 feet when it veered off

course and began a steep descent. The only thing he isn't short on is cash.

He will buy a million dollars worth of TV time and hide behind the best

advertising money can buy.

I can beat him if I can get on television myself.

The issue here is whether someone totally unsuited for public office can

buy his way into the United States Congress.

I hope your answer is no.

I said Biden many times, right?

Let's eat.

You got no lunchroom here?

Here's what we got.

We got a gun that was used in a homicide to kill someone.

And then it got stolen out of the property room. Maybe some cop sold it

right out.

And we got you in possession of that gun.

We ain't got no lunchroom.

Some school fool say he found some gun in my locker.

I wouldn't know. I wasn't there.

I ain't possessing nothing.

How did he get in your locker, Charlotte?

Don't be using my Christian name like we're going to be friends.

It was my impression you went in the market for corporate support.

I hate making these calls.

I thought I wouldn't have to.

But now I need the money.

We had a good relationship with your father. He understood the communications

business. We appreciated that.

Who's doing your media?

I guess I was.

I never needed much until Cornelius came out of left field.

I'll make that right field.

What do you think of Carl Broman?

Offshore breeze and clearing this afternoon.

Low tonight, 17.

Juvenile's got her brother for knocking over gas stations.

I guess she's holding for him, but she ain't gonna talk to us.

You can get her a week in detention.

Oh, yeah?

I'll lose her paperwork.

You'd do that.

Hold her without a charge.

For a week, sure.

If she wants to go home, maybe we get a name.

Dutch, line three.

Vandenbroek.

Clayton. And George Buford.

Friday's payday, I guess.

You stick with him until Elsie and I catch up with you. I want this son of a

bitch. Elsie, we're on the roll.

Janice.

I didn't do anything. We were just talking.

Well, don't even think that way.

Shit like that makes people hate cops.

Grab a radio.

Kathy, you got a car for me?

Not the pimp mobile. This is surveillance, not narcotics. This is it.

Oh, and your wife called when you were in court. She said things came up at

work, she can't eat with you, and you should call before you go home. You can

see the tail section of the southern airliner sticking out of the water. You

can hear choppers above me. We've got new choppers here. You'd better look at

the crash. I'm currently searching rescue operations. About an hour ago,

with a reported 103 passengers on board...

Get Elton and Tommy back here, quick.

Hey, Tommy.

We need you guys back here. Something's going down.

Clayton?

How you doing? What's going on?

Where's George?

Where's your partner?

He's over there in the basement.

The basement?

What's he doing in the basement?

There's a guy named Marvin. He's pouring booze without a license. We're getting

ready to ride it.

He comes up with a shotgun.

Says he wants money.

He tells me to go get it.

He's got George down there.

Somebody's holding George Buford hostage.

Can he send us an ear?

So what's the plan, officer?

Well, we could call the police.

Is that what you're getting ready to do?

Call the police? Of course, there's a lot of police here already.

Hey, the guy's got a gun on George. We gotta do something.

Oh, no.

See, we're internal affairs.

You got a policeman that screws up.

You got a policeman that abuses his position.

Steal. That's us.

What do you think's going on here, Clayton?

You think we just happened by?

We've been on you all day.

All week.

We've been on you all month.

You know what I think's going on down there? I think somebody got sick and

tired of paying you off.

You want to corroborate that?

Gives us a reason to go down there and drag George's sorry ass out of the

basement. Otherwise, I guess we'll just talk to the guy with the shotgun and see

what his version is.

You asking me to turn George in?

Just push me, push me.

Marvin?

Marvin?

Marvin?

I'm Sergeant Vandenbroek.

Hello, asshole.

You're under arrest.

Who is the real Kay Chandler?

What's she stand for?

Do you know?

What's she doing in Congress, anyway?

Harold Cornelius for your Congressman.

Shirley Magnuson did it.

Pretty good. I think so.

Well, she knows you're going to run as Arthur Spencer's daughter, and she can't

go after him. Poor guy's dead, and when he wasn't, he got a lot of votes.

So all she does is ask a couple of questions.

And the subtext is, she only got elected because of her daddy. She didn't earn

it. This is America, and that ain't fair.

I'm not running as Arthur Spencer's daughter.

What are you going to run as, a nice person?

I have my own record.

City attorney?

National committee woman?

A record is when somebody who votes remembers what you did for them. I beat

Harvey Gallin five to three.

My, my.

Now, how do you figure those three people voting Democratic in a district

that hasn't voted for a Democrat since Roosevelt, huh? They're trying to send

you a message, lady.

Listen, this ain't going to be some nice election, folks, talking about the amber

waves of grain.

This is going to be about the man with the money against the woman with the

name. Can't beat you on your record if you haven't got one.

And he won't beat you on the issues, on the issues I'll kick his ass.

The real question is, can you beat Shirley Magnuson?

I'm not running against Shirley Magnuson.

Whatever you don't want to see in the papers, whatever you and your husband

haven't told each other yet, Shirley's going to find it.

Shirley's wasting her time.

How's your marriage?

Swell. How's yours?

I was running for office. I'd be in trouble.

You fool around, Mrs. Chandler?

A little slap and tickle?

Any special friends?

Not at the moment, but I'll keep you posted.

What's the worst thing you've ever done?

You did life, Mr. Grohman.

God, for a moment there, I thought we weren't going to have any fun at all.

Gotta grieve all them people else they shut you down.

I didn't take a dime from you, you crazy old bastard.

Hey, hey.

Marvin, we don't come up pretty soon. They're going to come down here and get

us. What do you think they'd do about me?

Well for sure you're gonna pay a fine for pouring liquor without a license,

but I need you I need you to testify against George you got something some

leverage Want to make your situation a little worse

just keep thinking what you're thinking

Marvin

you pay a little fine pleaded disorderly But you gotta promise me you're

gonna show up against George.

I gotta have that shotgun.

Now.

I'll see this guy Marvin's coming up.

Get him downtown.

Take real good care of him, okay?

Are you really going to shoot that old man?

He had that shotgun pointed right at me.

And what were you thinking you'd do about me?

I figured he'd shoot you.

I'd shoot him, get myself a medal.

You'd be dead, of course.

You got a right to remain silent, officer.

Use it.

and crew members are now neared lost.

Navy divers were expected to work throughout the night.

Will Thomas, are you there?

Over my shoulder, they already have a crane trying to wait the plane out of

the water. We've got divers in the water.

Where's Pete?

Working late.

You need?

They got base scouts.

Oh.

Let's see if I can find her.

and then bounced at least one time before plowing into the water nose

first.

Hey, I'm at Billy's.

I'll call you at home. If we don't catch up, I'm going to eat here. Love you.

Bye.

It's the Vandenbrocks. Leave a message and we'll call you back.

To play and argue your messages, press 1.

I'm at the airport.

It's the first time I send a catalog to Miami without me, and the whole thing's

falling apart.

The new stylist locations don't work, bugs biting the girls, and you don't

want to know what else.

Therefore, I am on the plane to kill critters and counsel some careers.

I'll try to get back tomorrow, but it may not be till Sunday.

God knows where I'll sleep. They're down in the Keys someplace, but I'll call you

when I can.

I had fun this morning.

I love you.

No, that plane was going to Miami, wasn't it? Yeah.

Give me some quarters.

Yeah,

my name's Van Den Brock. I'm a Washington, D.C. police

officer. I know you get a lot of crazies when something like this happens. That's

why I mention it.

I think it's possible that my wife may have been on your airplane.

I'm Peyton Van Den Brock.

Great. Boy, she must be on another flight. Boy, that'll wake you up.

What are the other flights to Miami?

Well, you can check the 115, but it doesn't make much sense. She left for

the airport just after 9.

Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm Bill Vanenbrock, Peyton's husband.

She went to Miami today.

I need to know what plane she was on.

Well, I can be with you in just one moment, Mr. Vanenbrock.

We don't have this in the fix, but I can order it for you. I'm sorry.

Excuse me. I'm Bill Vanenbrock, Peyton's husband.

She went to Miami today. I need to find out what plane she was on.

Oh, you're the policeman, huh? Well,

Mary Claire Clark books the travel, but she goes home at 5.30.

Can you reach her at home for me?

Oh, my God, the plane that crashed.

I don't know. She was going to Miami, but they don't have her listed.

Molly, how do we get a hold of Mary Claire Clark?

Excuse me.

Do we really have to shout?

Peyton was going to Miami. She might be on the plane that crashed in the bay. We

have to find out what flight she was on.

Does anyone know what Mary Claire Clark was doing tonight?

Call the switchboard. Get her number at home. Okay. The airline won't tell you?

They don't have her listed on the flight, but they don't have her listed

on any flight.

I know she was gone because she left me a message at work and also at home. They

can't give out home numbers.

This is Molly Roll. Who's this?

Hi, Carla. I need your help, okay?

I'm the supervisor in Design Aware, and you'll be confirming that when you call

me back at extension 293, okay?

I need the home telephone number of Mary Claire Clark.

She's the department secretary.

We are managing an emergency. Do you understand?

Thank you.

You must be Dutch. I'm Molly.

What was she doing in Miami?

Sounded like it was some kind of a crisis. You're shooting something,

catalog, in the keys that was falling apart?

What would we be shooting in the keys?

Did she say which catalog?

No. Molly, roll.

Thank you.

Sarah, would you get her in there?

I'm going to get my boss.

What cataloger was she in? What happened to Peyton? I didn't even know what we

were doing in catalog work.

Susan, are you working?

Peyton didn't know she was gone. We had a dinner date.

There's no answer.

She went directly to the airport, so somebody must have called her. Would she

call Mary Claire for a reservation, or would she use a travel agent?

Mr. Vandenbroek?

This is Mr. Dreiker, vice president of designer wear. He's our boss.

Would you excuse us, please?

Sure.

Molly says that Peyton may be on that plane.

Is Peyton on that plane or not? We don't know. Either way, she's toast. Sarah,

can you just think?

We don't have a catalog shooting in Florida or anywhere else.

The next catalog's not till Christmas.

Maybe it's not a catalog, but something involving models. The girls are getting

bit by bugs.

No, there's nothing like that.

If Peyton's traveling, I don't think it's for the store.

I know when our people are out of town, I have to approve it, and we're pretty

stingy on travel.

Are you saying she lied to me?

I'm saying I don't know where she is.

I'm trying to think of something that I can do. I would like to be helpful here.

And there was this judge someplace who had two whole entire families. Kids,

dogs, everything. A judge.

We think we know.

We don't know.

Nobody knows. You just don't know.

Oh, my God.

Maybe she was traveling as someone's wife. If anyone knows what his name is,

I could check that way.

I don't know, honestly.

Beats me. She seemed... I mean, she never looked like she was looking.

Like, girls look if they're looking, okay?

Mr. Vandenbroek, I think I know Peyton as well as anyone here.

I've got no idea.

Are you surprised?

The important thing is, we don't know whether she was on the plane or not.

I think she was on the plane.

Just tell me the truth.

Are kids drinking at these parties?

Hey, I invented some of the excuses you're giving me.

I've been 15.

You've never been certified.

Okay, okay, 37.

I'll see for myself Wednesday.

5'6". 120.

Blue eyes.

A wedding band, just plain.

A diamond ring, emerald cut, about a carat.

No.

No.

Look, I'm telling you, she was on your airplane. If I'm wrong, great. If I'm

right, you know who to call, okay?

Some empty boxes.

Ask the guy out back.

Excuse me. Are you Mr. Vandenbrock?

Yeah. I'm David Dotson. This is Phyllis Bonaparte, Southern Airlines.

Do you have a minute to talk to us?

Mr. Vandenbrock, we don't show your wife as anybody's passenger on any flight to

Miami.

Hi, I'm at the airport.

First time I've sent a catalog to Miami without me and the whole thing's falling

apart. The new stylist locations don't work, bugs biting the girls, and you

don't want to know what else.

Therefore, I am on the plane to...

No one named Vandenbroek made a reservation or bought a ticket to Miami.

There is no catalog. She worked for Saks. I don't know where she is.

I think she was going to spend the weekend in Miami.

I assume with another guy.

If she was, would she tell the truth about her destination?

The trick is not to lie anymore than you have to.

You got a passenger list?

I'm not supposed to let you see it.

I figured the guy bought the tickets, Mr. and Mrs., but I think he's married.

It'd be interesting when you call his house.

I'm not allowed to. Let's see the list, David.

I need that back.

I'll give you another one.

There's a Royal Regency Hotel near where the plane went down. We have rooms there

for family members.

Why don't you drive down with us? You'll have to be there anyway to identify...

to make the identification.

Sit around with the next of kin? I don't think so. I got a lot of things to do.

Mr. Vandenbroek, I don't think you should be alone right now.

I am?

I was alone before you got here.

Everybody, everybody, listen up. Listen up.

We've got a guy who thinks his wife is on 437 traveling with another man on Mr.

and Mrs. Tickets.

Now, the guy's a D.C. cop, so as far as we know, he's not nuts. Who the wife's

boyfriend is, he hasn't got a clue.

We've got nine M&Ms in the manifest, another two pairs sitting together, same

last name, married, cousins, who knows? Be careful.

Do not assume a deceased Mrs. is for real.

Understand, we've got two problems here. We don't want to be the ones telling

some widow her... Husband died happy, and we sure as hell don't want to be the

ones to tell the kids that Mom's gone and Mom's asleep in Bethesda, okay?

What the hell does your sex life have to do with saving Social Security?

Tell me that.

According to Shirley Magnuson, everything.

What is the worst thing you've ever done?

If I've already done it, it's going to be a real dull life.

You're going to be a big disappointment to old Shirley.

Think Colin's the last man you'll ever sleep with?

Wendy.

College was Beth.

All that stuff going on.

When's he gonna call?

When's he gonna kiss me?

That night, when I bring it back, get that ache all over again.

I'm gonna tell Richard we better host a fundraiser. Why don't you guys come over

tonight? Both of you. We can make a guest list.

He's in New York.

What the hell you doing here on Saturday?

George and Clayton made bond.

You know this ain't the best case we ever made.

Got Clayton's statement.

Did you read him his rights?

Eh, you'll say I didn't.

Got Marvin.

Something wrong with you?

What's wrong, Dutch?

Dick.

Dick. Sorry.

Three A and B. Mr. and Mrs. Cullen Chandler. No one's called.

There's an unlisted number for a Cullen Chandler at the Metropolitan.

Are you ready for this?

Doorman says Mrs. Chandler is a congresswoman. And he saw her today. She

was going jogging.

When I was small, I knew my father was in politics, but I didn't know what that

was or why he had to go to Washington. Hey, let's make it dad, my dad, you

know, instead of father.

It warms it up a little.

Okay? Okay.

Kay Chandler, take three.

Hello.

I'm Kay Chandler, and I'm running for Congress.

When I was small, I knew my dad was in politics, but I didn't know... Maybe it

should be kid, huh?

When I was a kid...

When I was a kid.

When I was a kid. When I was just a kid. How about that?

When I was a... Help you?

We need to speak to Mrs. Chandler. We're taping a spot here, guys. No, it's all

right. What is it?

Mrs. Chandler, I'm Dick Montoya. This is Phyllis Bonaparte.

Hi. We're with Southern Airlines.

Is there some way we can talk?

What about what?

I'm very sorry to have to tell you.

Your husband was on our flight to Miami yesterday.

What? The one that... No, no, no, no.

Colin's in New York.

I wish that were so, ma'am.

You do fly to New York, don't you?

Not from Washington, no, ma'am. Jeff.

I'm afraid the identification is correct.

I'm awfully sorry.

But he said he was going to New York. Why would he go to Miami?

It's... The identification is correct. We have his wallet.

I'm very sorry.

Miss Chandler, if something did happen to your husband, it'll lead the news

tonight in New Hampshire.

Where's your daughter?

We have a daughter. She's 15.

We won't release the casualty list until all the families are notified, but we

need your help identifying your husband.

Where is he?

Patuxent Naval Air Station.

I have to get home.

I understand. Let us help.

Call Dick Teradesian at the White House. Tell him what the deal is.

Ask him if there's any possible way to get a plane to meet us at Patuxent. If

the Air Force can't do it, call GM or anybody who's got a jet.

He did say Miami.

Usually it's New York, but this time he said Miami.

. . .

Mr. Vandenbrouck, we have a car.

Mom, what are you doing home?

Where's dad?

Thou anointest my head with oil.

My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Let us pray.

Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of all comfort.

I met this guy because he was smart enough to get out of the rain.

I was too.

So we waited under the arch in the law quad till it was over.

And then he asked me if I knew where the bookstore was.

And I said I happened to be going there myself, which was a lie, of course.

We

had

so many great days.

Just not enough years.

But we had his love.

Let's go, Doug.

Okay,

I'll call you later.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Are you Mary Claire Clark?

Yes, I am so sorry. Name Colin Chandler mean anything to you?

No.

If I'd called my wife at work that morning, what would you have said?

That she called in and said she was taking the day off.

But you wouldn't have gotten me. She sent me to shop Tyson's Corners and told

me I could go home from there.

So I would have gotten her voicemail?

Yeah. Thank you.

Mr. Vandenbrock.

Yes.

I have some of her personal things.

I could drop them off at your office. No, take them now.

I know, I know. I just gotta get out of here.

I'll take Jess with me.

Kay, it's gonna look like... I don't care.

Just get us back to Washington.

I can't see all these people.

It's like going through a... Don't make a mistake now, Mrs. Chandler.

Everybody's watching.

Just one more day.

How can I find out if a guy was on one of your flights to Miami in May?

My name's Bill Vandenbroek.

Yes, they said you were a policeman.

Yeah, I am.

But I'm not working.

I'm not working right now.

Oh.

Then what is this about?

My wife was on that plane.

If I could just have a few minutes, can you? I just got home. This isn't a very

good time for me.

For me either.

So you're visiting survivors?

No.

You're the only one.

I'd ask you to... I don't understand.

My daughter would do back any minute.

Do you have kids?

Jessica, she's...

Is there something you want to know, Mr... I'm sorry, I forgot your name.

It's Vandenbrough.

No, I... I just thought...

I'm so sorry.

It's really...

But you seem okay.

Do I?

Paper said your husband was a lawyer in New Hampshire.

He has an office here.

Most of his work was here.

And I'm in Congress.

Yeah, I know.

So why was he going to Miami?

Business.

He had business there.

Are you investigating something?

They were sitting together on the plane.

Your husband.

My wife.

Do you know that?

No.

3A and B.

First class.

First class isn't what it used to be. I don't think it's worth the money.

Is there anything else?

You mad at me?

I don't know you, Lieutenant. Why would I be mad at you?

I'm a sergeant.

What are you, Mrs. Chandler? A sophisticator?

My daughter.

Sorry.

An airline guy left dad's things downstairs, so I brought them up.

This is my daughter, Jessica.

Jess, this is Sergeant... Vandenbroek.

If they call me Dutch, it's easier.

He lost his wife on the plane.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Never been to New Hampshire.

You go to school there or here?

I go to Andover.

It's prep school.

Well,

I won't take any more of your time.

Sorry about your dad.

Thanks.

Nice to meet you.

I need an hour. It's not a lot to ask.

Don't come around here again.

You must have had them cleaned.

Mom?

I'm sure it's for your birthday.

Dad said he was gonna get you something great.

I knew I'd say no.

Mom, I know you're worried about me, but I still want you to run.

I'll be fine.

I don't want us to sit around here all day and be depressed.

I want to go back to school tomorrow.

All my friends are there.

And it's only 40 miles, so I can go home on weekends if I want.

Somebody pop him out.

George Buford did this.

What else you find in here? You find anything in here?

No.

Is this a bad time for you?

Oh, come on, man. I don't need to go through all that garbage.

Hey, my case is going to get kicked because somebody killed my only witness.

Now you get in there and do it.

Garbage guy says the last pickup was a week ago.

It hasn't been that long.

Sure smells long.

Hey, Sheila, what are you doing here?

That ain't even my name.

Let's talk to these people.

Take that side, I'll take that side. It's homicide, Dutch, we're off it. The

hell we are.

Let's get something straight. I will not allow you to... I don't have any choice.

I need your help.

Before you dropped by to tell me my husband was screwing your wife, did it

occur to you that that might be a hurtful thing to do? You knew already.

I suppose I didn't.

How did you know Mrs. Chandler?

He told me he was going to New York.

He's on the wrong plane, so it must be another woman just like that.

Well, it could have been amnesia.

My wife was in Miami in February and also in May. Do you think your husband

was? What difference does it make?

It's over.

It's entirely over.

He's through with her and she's through with him and we're through with both of

them. We can't even get a divorce.

You can do that.

I have a child.

I try and go back in my head.

What's the last thing you remember about you and your husband that you know is

true I Got to find out how far back I have to go

to do that This is where they were gonna stay

Don't

you want to know how it started

How long it was going on.

You don't want to know what their plans were. You don't want to know anything.

What she thought about when she thought about me.

I'd like to know that.

But you might like to know what she looked like.

You leave me alone.

I mean it.

Oh, yeah, just pick a number and have to be cool.

Alice Buford, George Buford's wife.

What happened? Is he all right?

He's fine.

I'm Sergeant Vandenbroek.

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

He was with me.

What time was that?

Any time you're talking about.

Beep.

31.

Got an envelope?

February with swimsuits and May with fall fashion. And you saw those

catalogs. Yes, Dutch, I saw the catalogs. I told you twice. I'll get

them for you. Well, how do we know she shut those books in Miami? What if she

just said... Because there were palm trees. There was a beach and a very big

ocean.

If she doesn't run, she's crazy.

Tell him. It's just a sympathy bounce, but she's up 14 points since the

funeral. Well, I think she'll stay in, but she'll need some time.

She's this brave widow. She's got this kid. They're eating it up.

You're hard.

She knows. I know she knows.

Maybe he was buying a boat. Maybe it was drugs or government work. Why are you so

bound and determined it's another woman?

Why are you protecting him?

You know who it is, Richard. I swear to God. What you thought, Wendy? I lied the

first five times and now I'm going to cave?

Why is it so important to you?

I caught Sam with a woman once.

I spilled a milkshake on my skirt so I ran home from lunch.

I heard them in the shower.

And at first I thought it was the radio.

But what she was saying, you don't hear on the radio.

I ran.

I couldn't go back to work.

For hours, literally.

I didn't remember that I was involved with someone else.

I had been for months.

I liked my life with Sam.

Things were fine.

What did you do?

I kept my mouth shut.

And I never went home again without calling first.

To say that involvement, and I don't mean casual sex, I mean romance,

to say that that whole part of life, half the fun of life has to end,

if you told me that had to be over,

I'd feel old.

If you had known about Peyton, would you tell me?

Now, I mean.

Now.

I am going to run to the ladies' room.

Give me another moment.

Roman's over there, dreaming up ways to remind you of my loss.

Kay. A detective came by the office today asking about Cullen.

I wasn't there. Barry said he asked how much Cullen traveled.

Seemed to be particularly interested in Miami.

Asked who our Miami clients were.

Said he was going there tomorrow.

Is this anything I should know about?

I have no idea.

I'm sorry, Richard. You're right. It's too soon. I want to go home.

I'll get a cab outside. Tell Wendy I'm sorry.

Okay.

Mr.

Lundenbrock? Hi.

I'm so sorry about Peyton.

We can have a coffee, huh?

February, we shoot in the studios, made the keys to get away from tourists.

Why come to Miami twice in a row? Why not go somewhere else?

I would like to think it was my work, but... I suspect so she can walk the

city and sketch.

She loved the streets, you know, the markets, the Latin music.

Was there a man?

I don't think there is a man, no.

What about after work? What did she do after work?

More walking.

But sometimes the clubs, for music and to watch the dancing.

You know who she went with?

If I can say, if you want to be with a woman, these shoots are not so good for

that. Did you ever sleep with Peyton?

The situation is very difficult.

Excuse the question.

We'll build a home on a hilltop high.

You and I.

Shiny and new.

That too.

Thank you.

Is there someplace we can talk?

Dolly, please, on the rocks.

I'm from a little town in a little state.

And unfortunately, I'm in Congress. So when you go interviewing people, it's

easy to start talk.

If even possible, they might stumble on the truth. You can't possibly want that.

You're the only one I want to talk to. I don't know anything.

What do you want to know?

How long it was going on. Though we know how stupid to feel.

How they met, what their plans were. I can't help you.

Well, at least you tried.

Are you trying to be funny?

No.

Not anymore.

Don't you fuck with me.

If you don't like that word, don't use it.

Do you know what happened when a member of Congress accused you of harassment?

Yeah, we'd get our names in the newspapers.

That's very close to blackmail.

I'm not a lawyer.

And I'm not some investigation.

You can't rummage through my life. Who's next on your list? My neighbors? My

staff? My friends? Then talk to me. So you can pause through my marriage?

Make me confess to something?

It's my life. It's mine to judge, not yours.

You're not the only one involved.

Look, if they find out about your wife, it's gossip.

If they find out about my husband, it's in the newspapers.

I have a daughter who adores her father, who doesn't know. What do I tell her?

I figured they would have had drinks here.

Want to see their room?

No.

They never got here. Not this time, anyway.

She stayed here February 19th. Also May 14th, on business.

If he was with her, he didn't register.

Your husband liked Latin stuff.

Music, dancing.

Why? He had the concierge book him a table at some place called La Roca.

Colin liked classical music.

You sure?

What? You know what I do for a living?

I get paid to notice stuff.

I get paid to know who's lying.

I didn't have a clue.

i thought we were happy not giddy

not ecstatic we weren't unhappy

i wasn't i

was pretty happy

I don't want to be here.

I don't want to be here.

That's Kay Chandler.

Hi. Peter Suchet. He's conquered.

Voted for your dad.

But do you mind, honey, taking another picture?

They took our picture.

Do you know him?

They're from Concord. They took our picture.

I bury my husband and go nightclubbing in Miami.

Stay here.

Where are you going?

I'll get the film. No.

Don't no. You can't just mug some guy.

It'll just make things worse.

You are a cop.

Is that going to be trouble for you?

What we look like.

Look like... You had your hand on my shoulder.

You don't care who knows, do you?

About her and him, I mean.

I care.

They know anyway.

Sooner or later, everybody knows everything.

What time is it? My plane's at 9.30.

A little after 8.

Sure you don't want to stay over?

Maybe we should split up.

You should have stayed.

I'm in restricted parking.

Check the metro.

It's not running now.

Get a cab.

Where do you live?

Northwest. It's out of your way. Do you want me to drop you or not?

You know where we're going.

Why?

Say why!

Why? Because they did! Because they were going to... Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it now!

Don't be ridiculous.

you son of a bitch.

You like scaring women?

You come around my wife one more time.

No, no, no. You come and try to scare me, asshole.

Chicken shit.

Yeah, is George Buford still there?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

You better get a lawyer.

George killed that man.

God damn it.

You can't go around beating up suspects.

You're suspended, Dutch. There's going to be a trial, boy. You assaulted a man.

You can lose your job.

What if there's somebody to swear they saw George at that dumpster?

How tough would that be?

I was thinking, if you went to see the shrink, it wouldn't cost nothing. Talk

about Peyton, it could help.

I don't need to talk about me. I could tell him you got stressed out on the

job. It wouldn't be a lie, you know.

Honk if you're screwing him. They have a plane ticket.

Where'd you get that?

Shirley Magnuson.

Says she thinks it's a phone. He says I'm setting her up.

Setting her up? I take the picture, make sure it gets slipped to her. She uses

it. I provide a perfectly innocent explanation.

Ta-da.

Our candidate's a mudslinger.

My God, you people.

Pretty good idea.

Wish I'd had it.

If you have to explain that picture, can you do it?

Yes.

Jesse!

Where's the bracelet?

It's around.

You can lose it.

It's around.

Dad didn't have any clients in Miami, did he?

He was with that cop's wife, huh?

What was going on?

Something.

I'm not sure what.

Are they serious?

That would be my guess.

Do a lot of people know?

Leave a message. I'll call you back.

It's me.

Remember from restricted parking?

So you picked Peyton.

And Colin picked Peyton.

That's two zip against the home team.

Have we been introduced?

She says, draining her clothes.

I thought I should introduce myself and fill you in on my plans.

I'm packing it in.

No, that sounds like suicide.

All I mean is, like you said, sooner or later, everybody knows everything, and

it'll be in the papers.

I can't handle that.

I can't let Jessica be mowed down by...

By gossip, she had nothing to do with.

But if not... But if I'm not in Congress, if I'm out,

it's not new that you're here.

If he's safe.

Yeah.

You do know.

anyone who does i miss that

hey do me a favor

erase this god i'm glad you're not there

They win.

And the crash got us all.

Don't let them do that.

I'm not the only one involved.

She should know her mom's no quitter.

Just want to say how impressed I am with Damien.

The name of this group is Friends of Kay Chandler.

I'm sorry about that phone call.

We're not getting much sleep, are we?

I'm afraid of what's playing.

Me too.

I give it a try.

Turn in around three.

Cullen would be so proud of you. I know you know.

I don't know how many times I've introduced Kay Chandler.

There's a lot between three and five.

Australian football.

May I present your friend, your congresswoman.

Don't go away.

Your next representative for the 2nd District of New Hampshire, Kay Spencer

Chandler.

Thank you,

Richard. Thank you all.

It's good to be home.

I wanted to say just a word, just a few words.

You're all being very nice to me.

I don't want to disappoint you.

But I just don't want to talk politics tonight.

I'm just glad to be home.

Richard and Wendy, thank you so much.

Thanks, all of you.

For your friendship, for your support.

For showing up here tonight.

Thanks.

I mean it.

Don't anybody leave without me getting a chance to talk to you, okay?

Yeah, go back first thing.

Do you have the number?

I wish I could get out of the party. Oh, no way, Missy.

Some of these are thousand-dollar folks.

I wish I didn't have to go.

Good of you to come.

It was our party.

Kind of had to. I appreciate it, that's all.

Get a ticket?

The road map.

Maybe someone thought it fell out of my car.

Listen, Kay, time to commit.

All the way in or not.

If you're not going to run, we need to return that fundraiser money right

quick. Maybe I'll take a day. Do some thinking.

I'll be around.

Guy like you, girl like me, what possible reason could there be not to?

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry I'm late. I had to change a few times and pack. I thought if I packed

real light, it'd look like I knew what I was doing. But then I didn't know what I

was doing, so I didn't know what to pack.

Where are we exactly?

Chesapeake Bay is a couple of miles off that way.

I'm not going to make small talk because I don't want there to be any junk

between us.

No littering.

There's so many reasons I might be doing this.

I kept thinking I'll go one more mile and then I'll turn around and...

I was thinking about your mouth.

Nobody knows who I am anymore.

Nobody knows how easily I can do it.

I have to know something.

Are you a Democrat?

What if I am?

We talk.

I give you books to read.

I like it when there's just a...

You hungry?

I'm hungry.

No TV?

Uh-uh. Is there a phone?

Not so far.

What's that light?

Is this, do you know?

Heineken.

The start of something.

Yeah.

That's what I thought.

What I want to know is who is this woman who's wearing my clothes and using my

body.

Or is she only around when you are?

I say we hide out here for a couple of years and make a run for the border.

I always thought when I had my time in, I'd like to live down here.

Start a little security service.

What, the raccoons are knocking over the garbage cans?

A lot of Washington, Baltimore people have places on the water here.

They always think they're going to get robbed.

You had plans.

I don't think we had any plans.

I always wanted a boat.

One you could sleep on.

We've got a boat.

Defense rests.

Get it?

I don't trust this any more than you do.

But you're the only thing that's real.

Let me ask you something tough.

Are you sorry to play more time?

What are you doing?

Just think about it.

You can have it all back the way it was.

He's lying.

He's grown another woman in their life, and about how easy we are to fool. Stop.

Don't do that.

I'm done with them.

Done with them.

Okay.

You know those drugstore kits that tell you when you're pregnant?

They should have one that tells you when you're sane.

I think they had a place, someplace they'd meet. An apartment just makes

sense.

How could it make sense?

No driving, no motels.

If they did, they did. They're on their own.

This was on her desk at work.

Is that why you drew the map?

Is that why you came to Concord? I came to Concord because I didn't want you to

quit. People have keys. Did you see one like this? No.

In his luggage, maybe?

So they had a place.

They're not there anymore.

And I don't care.

I just... I just don't care.

And maybe you didn't lose that much.

Or you're lying to yourself.

I'm going down.

Time to go.

When will you be back?

Roof's got a leak. I got some time, so I... I'll try to make it a little worse.

Dutch.

Maybe we'll never get clear the way we met. Maybe we'll find we'll never be

alone. But I don't want us to lose this chance, because... Because if it's just

gonna be about them, if it's... Always going to be four of us every time.

Thanks for driving all the way to Concord.

And for the contribution that was something.

And I don't even live in your district.

Hey, it's me, Wendy. Where have you been?

I'm walking around with $50,000 from your friends and neighbors and nobody to

give it to.

What do you want to do, Missy?

Lunch tomorrow?

Give me a call.

I want Jessica out there, smiling like Chelsea and keeping her mouth shut.

Her job is good kid, no opinions.

She can wear jeans, no short shorts, no bra tops.

No, Jessica.

She's in school.

School?

I thought we were trying to win an election here. No, Jessica, I don't want

her... I think I may be losing what it takes to lie.

This may become a problem.

Let's take a little break, okay? I'm not liking this, Jessica.

We're telling the whole southeast side of police officers a murder suspect.

You think George ain't gonna hear about this in ten minutes? You're not even

supposed to be working.

Why, you're here.

Hey, Shiloh!

You in there?

Hello?

Anybody home?

Shiloh?

Hey, Shiloh.

We need to talk a second. Can we come in? No, you can't come in.

You want to come on out, then? You get out of here. Folks here, I'm talking to

you. You get my ass.

Oh, God damn it. Dutch, come on, man. Come on.

You got no right in here.

I ain't going to hurt you. Dutch, let's go. Look, you got no warrant. She's

already said no. If my brother was facing another 15 months in detention,

it wouldn't hurt me to take a look at one little picture. You seen this man

before?

That's Big George. I see him all over.

Did you see him in the alley the night we found the body?

No. You didn't maybe see him dump that man in the dumpster? Maybe with somebody

else? No.

Hey, take another look. Maybe it'll come back to you. How's your brother doing,

by the way? Any chance he's gonna get out? Okay, okay, okay. That's it!

That's it! Look, you didn't see the man in the photo. We're sorry to have

disturbed you. Okay, I want you out right now. Out now!

What the hell's the matter with you, huh?

Don't touch.

I'm sorry about your wife.

But Jesus Christ, what do you want, George, to come after you? Is that it,

so you can shoot him?

You got tired of working cheap? What?

You know goddamn well he's guilty.

Why are you protecting him?

Is he paying you now?

I feel like a bag man.

There's cash in there, so be careful.

Well, guess what?

Cullen was having an affair.

Drew said the iTunes is incredible here.

That's why he was going to Miami.

How long?

What's the difference?

You think being deaf, dumb and blind is a liability for a congresswoman?

I think he kept an apartment that I don't know about.

Would you like to hear our specials today?

I'll give us a minute.

And I thought maybe... Colin had told

Richard and Richard had said something.

It's only adultery.

Nobody gives a damn about that anymore except the people it's happening to, and

it's not happening to you.

My God.

Oh, Kay, please give me a chance to explain.

Just... Shut up.

Kay, it didn't mean...

I was always going to tell you.

Where is it?

It's been over a year. I haven't been there. Where is it?

The Colton building on Rhode Island.

Okay.

Just stupid.

I'm really not very hungry. If you could get the check, please. Just stop,

please, Kay.

Just listen to me, okay?

Because if we don't see you, then Richard will know.

Wendy, I can't keep seeing you so your husband won't know you've been screwing

mine.

Kay.

Kay, please.

I need to tell you how rotten I feel.

Hello? Hello, it's me.

Hi. Bad time?

No.

How's the roof?

Lousy.

Something wrong?

Want to get something to eat?

Sure.

I'm not that hungry, but I want to see you.

Everything all right?

Dutch... Weren't you ever tempted to cheat on Peyton?

Tempted, yeah.

Sure. Why didn't you?

Maybe I did.

they got their laundry done, if they had a place.

You think this, everything that happened, you think it's

made you different?

Different how?

More suspicious.

Maybe.

But here I am.

I'm leaving you tomorrow.

I knew we should have gone to McDonald's.

I have to try to get elected.

I lost a friend today.

Being suspicious.

What happens if you don't get elected?

Country goes to hell.

And I go home.

Pregnant.

But you're gonna beat this guy, right?

When I get back I'll be here

That

Friday

Wait up a second, Dutch.

You've got some dry cleaning.

Mary Claire?

Oh, yeah.

I thought I found all kinds of keys. I wouldn't believe all the keys I've got.

I've got a key to the Victani's in Rochester.

I've got keys to the ones in Westchester.

Dutch, I don't think there was an apartment.

She was always here.

There wasn't time.

Oh, no, wait.

You know, she gave me a phone number once.

She was on her way out to a meeting or something. Mary Claire.

Oh, just a minute.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, this is it.

Yeah.

In the bottom and pencil.

Oh, yeah, go ahead.

I have a 911 supervisor, please.

This is Sergeant Vandenbroek.

DC Internal Affairs, 9114.

I need an address, please, for a telephone number.

How long do you know?

Did you know when you came to Miami?

No.

How could you ever think?

When you came to my cabin, did you know that?

I found out yesterday.

So you knew last night.

When are you going to tell me?

I thought...

I thought maybe years from now when it's behind us.

What did you find?

We had

a pact.

Then what the hell are you doing here?

I want to finish it. I want it over.

That's your purse. What'd you find, huh?

There's nothing.

another perfume.

There's nothing here.

There's got to be something left.

Some... Some sign of... Stop it, Dutch!

You'll never find what you're looking for. Never.

You want to know why, and there is no why.

Don't.

In case you check in, I'm heading to the airport early.

Meet me for coffee.

Hi, it's me.

I'm running late. There was something I needed to do.

If I'm not there, go on without me and I'll get the next plane to meet you at

the hotel.

What are we doing, do you know?

Police reports that her husband was getting it on with Vandenbroek's wife.

You all

right?

Well, the press is out there and they know you're here.

Of course, they could get hungry and go somewhere for a hamburger.

How are we going to handle this?

Handle it?

Handle this when you've got a client who will tell you what the hell is going on.

I think we can assume they're going to want to know just how well the

congresswoman knows the cop.

How are we going to handle this? I don't know.

If we can get back to New Hampshire and let this thing age a day, there's a back

elevator that'll get us out through the basement.

He's right, Kay.

It's almost midnight.

Somebody stole my watch.

Where's Halsey?

He said he'd come by tomorrow.

I was

trying to catch up with you.

What were you going to say?

I was going to say, I just... I just didn't want you to leave. Not like that,

anyway.

Ah, welcome back.

Hungry? Where's my watch?

They need you an X-ray.

Listen, I... I probably never would

have told you about the place, either.

I don't know how you do that.

No.

Neither do I.

It's not a crime, Dutch.

You loved your wife.

And you still do.

All set.

Now let me see if I can find a couple of orders.

Hey, George.

Will you hang around?

I can't.

You're supposed to be nice to me. I've been shot.

We did okay, Dutch.

We did the best we could.

Under the circumstances.

We ready, Sergeant?

Time for you to go.

Me too.

I've got to catch a plane, but if you can make it short. Mrs. Chandler, we've

been told that your husband was having an affair with Sergeant Vandenbrock's

wife, that they had an apartment and that that's where you were.

Is that correct?

Yes, it is.

Could you characterize your relationship with the sergeant?

Sergeant Vandenbroek's wife was killed on the plane that went down in the bay

with my husband.

I met the sergeant a few days after that day.

He was a friend when I needed a friend.

I hope he feels the same way. So you're just friends?

Just friends.

We are surely friends.

We've seen each other through something.

We're more than friends. We're survivors.

No.

You'll have to excuse me. I really have to get home. Can you tell us anything

more about the charge's condition?

Be responsive.

Bye, Mr. Chandler.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Do I know you?

I'm Tad Baker. I work for Mr. Cornelius.

You said we could, um... Yeah, sure.

Make yourself at home.

Hello, Kay.

Hi, Sergeant.

Lieutenant.

They made me a lieutenant. All I had to do was get shot.

Let me get you some.

Stoli on the rocks.

I haven't had one of those in a while.

I got a plane. I don't have time.

Hey, what's with those New Hampshire voters? Are they crazy or what?

I think they could tell I didn't want the job.

Or maybe I wanted the job. I just didn't want to do what you have to do to get

it.

So you're out of work.

Guess I am.

Are you as well as you look?

The leg's a little stiff.

But I think I'm going to be okay.

You?

How's that football in Australia?

I tune in once in a while.

Not like before.

I was a real fan.

Hey, I gotta tell you something. I thought I might run into you here.

Where are you going?

That's the thing. Nowhere.

I called your office and they said that you were headed home, so...

Look, my flight's overbooked tonight.

Later.

Take another plane.

What'd you get me?

How about I just call you up sometime in New Hampshire?

And say what?

Say, you want to go to a movie?

Well, I've heard enough, and I've seen enough, and I

know enough to know.

I know a good thing when I see it,

and it's a bad thing to let go.

I've been around, I've been...

Up and down until I bent out of control.

Your world all in motion.

I put a ball and a chain on your soul.

All those angels running, picking up the pieces,

putting back together hearts.

I broke long ago.

I know a good thing. And I see it.

And it's a bad thing too.

There will always be lovers with

borders of their own.

And you may charge across in a golden chariot,

but you will never be home.

I had dreams like distant thunder.

I had hope like a prayer I'm heard.

That this is nothing less than perfect

in a less than perfect world.

All those angels running, picking up the pieces,

putting back together hearts.

I know a birthday when I see it.

And it's a bad thing to let go.
