All language subtitles for My stepson, my lover.(1997)

I want to meet the love.

To have a husband, childrens

I wish to make my home at Cora Farm.

Be careful what you
wish for might come true.

Started in my chest this
morning and now it's my arm.

Cory's hurt for top priority.

We just had a major collusion on
the interstate. We'll do the best we can.

Cover the foot up.

I know. Phaser, I'll pull it up.

Leave me in the hallway.

Jacob, come over.

Gina?

Get a guy in ten 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.

Doctor Carlson!

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

Don't worry. This will ease the pain.

It's gonna be fine.

Code Blue!

I need some help, I'm losing him.

I need help now!

He's not responding.

We got a pediatric nurse with a
code blue and ten. Anybody help her?

Come on. Come on. Give me something.

Live. Live.

Good. That's right.

That's right.

Good.

We're gonna 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 gonna start dating again.

That's what I think it means.

Thanks, but no thanks.

You're not gonna 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?

It's nice. Who sent it?

I don't know, but it's going right back.

You can't do that to a heart patient.

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 gonna 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 ticking again. Oh

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

What was the last time
you out with a man? Oh

don't answer that cuz I
know I love you too, Delia

Kate

Crazy guy.

It's so old.

All this.

Hi, Caitlin.

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 up to the
penthouse. His plane

was delayed. He'll be
with you in a 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?

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

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.

Smart lady.

Now, listen, I asked you here
early because I have a little surprise.

There's something I want to show you.

Caitlin!

Take the stick!

What?

The stick! Go ahead, take it!

I can't! Are you crazy?

You'll be all right! There's dual controls!

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'd you keep your salad spoons?

In the corner.

How is it?

It's incredible. Where'd
you learn to cook like this?

Taught myself. My
husband didn't like going out.

Why not?

He made school in his 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?

At least one. How about you?

I have a son.

His name is Eric.

His mother died 12 years ago. Cancer.

I'm sorry.

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

I hope...

What?

I hope someday I have
a chance to do better.

Oh, God.

I gotta double shift, Mom.

Yeah, I guess you better go then

Yeah, I should go

Thank you.

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

No, but I will tell
you it took all of my

considerable influence
just to get us a 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.

They never had live music before.

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?

I had my staff call
every restaurant in town.

I... I just wanted this to be...

I'm sorry I ruined this for you.

It's all right. We're
here now. Let's just...

You might as well open it.

Caitlin, I love you.

Please marry me and save me from myself.

Shh.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Corey.

I hope you'll be very happy, Mrs. Cormac.

Mrs. Stewart, please call me Caitlin.

Thank you, Margaret.

Congratulations, Richard. 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. I preached help.

May I kiss the brow, or are
you gonna keep speechifying?

Well, if I should know,
you'd just get an injunction.

Okay.

There you go.

Got to borrow this husband of yours.
We've got some very serious toasting to do.

Gorgeous. I'm so happy to see 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.

This fraud needs a break.

Hi. Congratulations, ma'am.

Thanks. Got some cake?

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

Good girl.

I'll take 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.

They're 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 in 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, uh, Mr. and Mrs. Corey.

Well, you finally met.

He seems 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 bet you were the same
way when you were his age.

Oh, 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.

Come on.

Yep.

How was 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.

Don't get angry.

But I've booked a cruise on a yacht.

On the Mediterranean.

That means giving up my job.

Not necessarily. You could
take a leave of absence.

God knows you deserve one.

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 just said, okay.

So you are officially on leave.

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

And of course you can always say no.

Hello! Hi! I hope you had
a wonderful time. We did.

It's absolutely beautiful.

Once belonged to Louis Napoleon,

with the original bullets.

Thank you, sir.

And your phone and fax messages.

I gotta 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 where 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 gonna hear you.
She's still downstairs.

The social calendar of
hers is impossible, Rick.

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

I thought we agreed that you
weren't gonna 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.

It'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 raised money for that new
pediatrics wing you said was so necessary.

Who 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.

Rick?

Oh, hi Delia.

Now I'm happy you called.

Mr. Coritor, not that I know of.

You're pretty late. I know I gotta go
we got something on a red on the line

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

I don't care you tell him you better not be
there when I get there. I'm on my way now

I'm sorry darling. We got
an emergency. I got to fly to

Peru. You just got back
can't this wait unfortunately no

Caitlin wait a minute
where I'm going it's too

remote. It's too unsettled.
I can't take you with me

Right the reason I left
my job 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

You need anything you talk to mr.. Stewart

I think you should wait
until your father gets home.

Mrs. Stewart, what are you worried about?

I'm not going to harm him.

Will, 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 is 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?

It's mine. I'm building it.

All by yourself?

That's right.

Does Rick know about this?

Nope. Squatter's right.

Quite 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.

Have you ever tried?

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

Why 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, uh...

Don't fall off.

Hello?

Caitlin, it's 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 Store, remember?

You nervous?

I'm a nurse, remember?

Oh, right, you're a nurse.

Good dress.

Ta-da!

A little gift from your dad and me.

You mean from you?

No.

It's a maid cake. Go home.

Don't forget to order these.

Hi.

Hi.

I called the house,
they said you'd be here.

How about some dinner? Nothing
fancy, just some down home cooking.

Sure.

I'll put you on your ass.

I'm driving.

Suit yourself.

We did it!

My job.

My woman.

Rain.

We did it!

I want to say thank you to my wife,
my son, my wife, my wife, my wife.

Can I get some help?

Of course.

Jimmy on a very hot and
muggy night in Charlotte.

The mercury still pointing to 92.

Morning Parker. Good
morning, madam. Did Eric

come down yet? He left
man about an hour ago

One apprentice carpenter
reporting for duty.

All right, come here.

Right there.

How do we cut?

Good.

Wash her first.

Hey! No photos.

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.

You ran out of communication, Ray.

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 when I get back.

We're safe.

Caitlin?

Parker?

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

I expect you to be busy all week.

Yes, ma'am. Thanks.

Up high, other side, down below.

Too fast!

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.

Something bothering
you? No, I'm fine, really.

Yeah.

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.

So you 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 gonna 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 it, Eric.

I'm his father's wife.
I'm gonna 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?

Uh, Richie must have a record of it.

Hold on.

I have to call you back, ah-ha, bye.

Request the following is a
background check of the subjects

past history, personality
traits and personal preferences.

I told you that.

Why are you even talking to him?

Come, listen.

Listen 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, Rick.

Who told you that?

What's the difference?

It's the truth, isn't it?

Just a 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.

But it's something more
important. It always came up.

My last trip was unavoidable.

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

Then help me to believe it.

Help me not to feel like
something you bought,

like some object in
one of your collections.

A 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.

All 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.

Okay.

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, Kate.

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

What are you saying?

I'm not happy, Rick.

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.

You think that you can
fight me. You are wrong.

Mr. Corey called this
morning from Washington.

Did he 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!

Come here.

I'm gonna take care of him, and
then I'm gonna come back here for you.

Rick!

Richard!

What happened?

Where's Richard?

Dr. Coleman.

Miss Corey, I'm Detective Gardner.

I'm sorry. This is just
gonna 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?

Uh, 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.

Uh, 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 you?

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.

Look, I want a lawyer, and I want one now!

Do tell.

Dr. Reed, 1639.

I'm sorry, Caitlin.

We couldn't save him.

Kate.

Come on, John. Come on, let's go.

It's all right. It's all right, baby.

Everything's gonna 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.

Second floor, I think.

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 looking?

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 Kate.

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
that night set 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.

Bridge, don't you believe Eric?

That's your job.

Mine is to see he 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 stuff 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 it?

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.

Of course I do.

I'll get through this. I know it.

Don't be scared.

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 Corey's 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
longstanding hatred of the victim,

regardless of the fact that he
was his own flesh and blood.

So, after carefully dredging
the lakebed, you were unable to

find even a trace of the gun
that the defendant described.

That's right.

Your 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

and the 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
other 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 questions.

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.

He 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 was 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 do that.

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, it's a fact.

And you're not going to deny that?

Mrs. Stewart, 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
after his mother's death?

Mrs. Stewart, you are still under oath.

Eric hated his father. He
blamed him for his mother's death.

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

We've got to have that
gun. Without it, we're cooked.

I can't do this, Price.

Yes, you can. Come on, now.

Hey, you idiot!

Did your husband suspect
you were having an affair?

Is that why you attacked his son?

So the gun was under
the house all the time.

Must have landed in one of the drains.

Then been washed down
during the recent rains.

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, hold the truth,

nothing but the truth,
so help you God.

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 rains.

So I searched under the deck and
found it hidden amongst the rocks.

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

so they 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 girders were blocked.

How did you know about the drainage
system, Mrs. 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
Mrs. Corey a hostile witness.

Silence or I'll clear the court.

The 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 bound to send 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 know.

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
attempt 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! Do you hear me?

The defendant will be
silent or be restrained.

Continue.

Mrs. Corey, 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?

The defendant will be
removed from this courtroom.

Take it easy.

I don't have time for this.

Get in there.

Continue.

I ask you again, Mrs. Corey,

did you have sex with
the defendant Eric Corey

at the cabin on Kern Link
the night of April 19th?

Answer the question.

Yes.

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 murder
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 facts 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.

Police.

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.

These are really good.

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 at any moment.

No chance of that. There'd
have to be some pretty

strong evidence to
persuade the DA to retry.

Stuart came by.

She's still climbing.
She didn't send the fax.

Then who could have sent it?

Great the way it worked out.

Oh, so cool.

Well, you're up early.

I wanted a 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.

What about those press cultures?

I'll be careful. I'll see you later.

Hello?

Hello, this is Parkland Hospital.

Can I speak to Mrs. Corey, please?

She called about the volunteer schedule.

Yeah, um, Mrs. Corey
won't be participating

for a while, but she'll
call you when she's

available.

Thank you.

Delia, 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.

Let's see.

Did the hospital call, need to give
them a date, so I'll be 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?

Look, 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.

I'm sorry that I got so possessive.

It's all right.

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 soon.

Okay, I know it's been hard.

But that's our special place.

We can't let what happened destroy that.

Heh heh! Way to ride it, man!

Last jumpin', Eric!

What are you doing in here?

Everything has to be inventoried for the
probate and the police still 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 gonna run him home.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just a little partied out, I guess.

Yeah. 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.

Alright, now you just hear me out, alright?

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.

Alright, this is what we're gonna 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. That's... you're right.

That's... that's just what I need.

Great.

So, I have some more arrangements to make.

I've already ordered a plane.

We leave tomorrow at nine.

You'll love it.

I'm alone. Be there, please.

Hello?

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 motor all the way through.

Now tighten it up.

There you go.

Is that what you're 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.

Well, what if you can't testify
against your 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
him 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 not in love with you, Kate.

Look, 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.

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.

Stop it. Stop.

Eric!

Good afternoon, Mr. Talbot.
Mrs. Corey's in a meeting.

Would you like your
drink in the library, sir?

Thank you, Parker.

Thank you, partner.

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.

Thank you both.

Thank you, Keith.

Mr. Talbot is here.

Oh, good. Tell him I'll be right down.

Yes, ma'am.

Hi, Priest.

Jada.

Good to see you.

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

Hi, darling. You ready for your ice cream?
