Last on "Rich Man, Poor Man - Book ll":

You're shocked and horrified that Wesley
and I went to bed together last night.

- Well, big deal!
- Diane, it is a big deal.

When I saw you up in Whitby,
you had a pretty heavy thing goir.

You had a good thing goir with Rudy,
you had your girl.

When I asked you why you split,
I seemed to hit a sore spot.

You're investigating Charles Estep.
I can help.

How?

I've got names,
I've got dates and amounts,

all authorised by Charles personally.

Charles Estep has more power
to influence this country than you or I,

or maybe all of its elected
representatives together.

Where are you getting
this information?

From... How do they put it?
An unimpeachable source?

Bring your witness to Washington.
I want to go on this.

- Get out of here!
- A bar?

- Let go of me.
- What bars does he go to?

Leave me alone!

- Roy, let me go get...
- No.

It hurts.

I'm here, man. I'm here.

Wes?

Thank you for calling me.

I wasrt sure if you could
make it in from Colorado.

I left Janey with her grandparents.

They adore each other,
and she loves Aspen.

Skiing every day -
she's in heaven.

- Six years old and she skis?
- Like a pro.

You've got a dynamite half-sister.

Hey.

All these years apart, the picture I had
of you was the way you looked in France.

A skinny little 13-year-old kid like
a plucked chicken, and now look at you.

Kate, I know who killed Dwyer.

Same guy who murdered my father.

Falconetti?

- I found Roy dying...
- You saw Falconetti?

He was gone,
but I know it was him.

- Here we are, Mr Dwyer.
- Thank you.

Reverend.

Here we are, sir.

Wes, how are you?

Kate, could you hold this?

Hello, Kate.

Rudy.

- You look good.
- It's the mountain air.

- You look tired.
- It's Washington.

Wes.

As soon as I heard,
I wanted to get hold of you.

I didn't know where to look.

It's a long story.

O God, our Father, we praise thee
for thy good gift of life.

We thank thee for the friendships
and fellowships,

for the ties that bind us
one to the other.

We give thanks to thee for this,
thy servant, Leroy Dwyer,

recalling all in him
that made us love him.

Hear that, Roy?
Just how you wanted it.

Here's to Roy!
Smooth sailing and calm seas!

- Hey!
- All right!

Come on, Senator!
What kind of drinkir is that?

Down the hatch.

Lechaim.

All right. Come on, what is it?

What?

Just wondering why I make a mess
out of everything I touch.

If something's wrong, say it.
Don't pull that on me.

- What?
- Self-pity.

Because I'm an expert
in that department.

In one day I married your father
and woke up a widow.

For three months I walked around fighting
not to cry with his baby in my belly.

Then one day I felt Janey kick.

I said, "That's it, girl - life.
That's what it's all about."

"So stop feeling sorry for yourself
and start living."

I'm not looking for sympathy.
I won't waste one lousy minute.

It's all right to get angry.

It's not as good as
reaching out, though.

Come on, Wes, talk to me.

Tell me.

I can't.

I gave her my best smile,
you know?

I said, "They call me Sweet Luther,

and I'm the man who understands
all misunderstood women."

- So what happened next?
- I called a cab.

Rudy, can you tell me what's wrong
between you and Wes?

Oh...

Just about everything in the book.
That old classic - failure to communicate.

Anger, hurt, you name it.

When Tom died,

you asked me if you could take his son
with you to Whitby and bring him up.

It tore my heart out, but I thought
it would be the best thing for all of us.

- And you needed it.
- And there were good times, Kate.

There really were times
when we were close.

Now you're strangers?

The day comes in a family
the best thing you can do is let go.

Yeah.

You see, it's not letting go.
It's how you let go.

All right, tell me you hate my guts.

- It's never been a question of that.
- You don't give a damn. Is that it?

- No.
- There's one other possibility.

We really care for each other and there's
something stupid standing in the way.

Wesley, they lowered Dwyer
into the ground today.

We have to realise, we have to
say to ourselves, "God - life's short!"

Whatever it is we need to do...
now's the time.

Hm?

- Who is it?
- Matthew Downey.

It took you long enough
to get here, Mr Downey.

Where have you been
for the last three days?

How's the law business?

Oh, uh... Can I get a drink for you?
What would you like?

When I bailed you out of that Hoboken jail,
I said keep in contact, call me every day.

Well, you see, Mr Downey,
I've been a little busy.

What are you doing in this fleabag?

My apologies. I went over to the Plaza
and it was all filled up.

Spare me your humour.
Now you listen to me.

No. No, you listen to me.

You see, this might come
as a surprise to you,

but I have a brain.

I can think. And you know
what I've been doing, Mr Downey?

I've been lying in that bed for
the last three days...

and I've been thinkir.

About what?

About the character you represent.

- About the man that bailed me out of jail.
- What about him?

Well, he doesn't know me from Adam,
does he?

Because I don't have
any rich friends.

I don't have much time.
Would you get to the point?

Yes, sir. The point is
that they probably are thinking

that there's a very good possibility
that I'm gonna skip town. Correct?

Well, I wouldn't try that
if I were you.

OK. There is a person
or persons unknown

that think I'm won'th $50,000.

And, Mr Downey, I lie here in this bed
and I just keep wondering to myself

how much I really am won'th.

Meaning?

Meaning...

I need some money.

Now.

You're in trouble.

Oh, you lawyers are smart.
You got it all figured out.

- What kind of trouble is it?
- Get-me-outta-town-in-a-hurry trouble.

You...

stupid idiot.

Mr Downey...

Now, that isn't the way they taught you
to speak to people at Columbia, is it?

Here you are.

- How much?
- Enough to get me out of town,

new driver's licence, new name,
Social Security card.

All the record stuff you know about,
Mr Downey.

What is it?
What have you done?

I need $5,000.

Mr Downey...

I need $5,000.

Is... Is there a telephone
in this dump?

Just across the hall, sir.

Have you got any change?

Hey, you got this all mixed up. You see,
I'm the guy that needs the money.

It's a long-distance call.

If I make it collect or charge it
to the office, it goes on the record.

Mr Downey...
I really like that.

Listen. When you talk
to those people that you represent,

ask 'em to give me
a couple of suits, will you?

9 o'clock conference with the committee
and we get out those subpoenas.

10:15, meeting with Senator Paxton.

11:30, the attorney general.

Lunch with Hubert Humphrey.

Afternoon on the Hill,
vote on the foreign aid bill.

Dinner at the Israeli Embassy.

OK. Uh... I'll catch the late plane.
I'll be at the office 8am, ready to roll.

- What is so funny?
- Whew! That'd drive me round the bend.

Living with every hour accounted for.

Actually, from sunrise to 9am
this Saturday morning, I'm free as a bird.

Is it won'th it?

After three years of frustration, I'm on the
verge of getting something accomplished.

- This investigation?
- Mm-hm.

Bribery and payoffs in the Justice
Department. I think I can blow the lid off.

Do you?

You don't have much faith
in the political process.

I worked my tail off during
the Bobby Kennedy campaign.

After the assassination...
I just pulled out.

And now you don't care?

I care too much.

I'll help you unpack.

- A couple of drawers enough?
- Plenty.

Listen, I hope I'm not inconveniencing you
by staying here.

No. I'll be in Washington.

All yours.

- Do you have to get back to Janey?
- Oh, no. She's a gypsy, like her mama.

Besides, you'd be surprised
how well children can adapt

when they know that they're loved.

Blue jeans?!

- What about 'em?
- Well, it's... I...

I just always imagined you
in a business suit.

Tom's buttoned-up older brother.

Well, a lot has happened since I saw you.
I have become... unbuttoned.

Oh.

- And you laugh a lot.
- Well, it's one way of keeping your sanity.

Tell me about your life.

Well...

- Any men in it?
- Well, sure.

There's this skiing instructor who works at
the lodge that my parents run.

Then there's this artist
that I work for part time.

He makes these monstrosities
out of stainless steel.

So if you ever need any welding done,
you just let me know.

Uh...

- Are you in love?
- Yes.

With snow and hot showers
and the way my daughter grins.

- I mean with a man.
- At the moment, no.

What about you?
Are you in love?

- Yes.
- What's she like?

Well, you'll meet her.

Name's Maggie Porter. She's a lawyer.

Now what's so funny?

I don't know. It's just the way
that you give her credentials.

- Is that it?
- Yeah, that's it. I travel lightly.

Anything I can offer you?
A glass of wine? Tea? Coffee?

Coffee.

- I'll make it.
- No, no, no, no.

Go do what you've been dying to do
since you walked in here - case the joint.

Go on.

When I took it,
it was just a place to spend the night.

I keep promising myself
I'm going to make it liveable.

What is it?

- What is it about you that puzzles me?
- What do you mean?

Your career taking off in Washington.
Your lady. It all sounds so perfect.

And?

It just doesn't seem to go with the way
you look when you're... unguarded.

Are you happy?

Yes!

I don't know.

- Let's go.
- Where?

To buy a present for my niece.
See, that's how to do things - on impulse!

- This... This I'm good at.
- Oh?

- I used to be good at it. It's broken.
- What'd you get? 5,000.

- It's not broken.
- Basketball.

- Now, he's great.
- Oh, he's gorgeous.

I'm trying to decide
who he reminds me of.

The distinguished senator
from North Carolina.

- Let's get him for Janey.
- Don't you dare!

Well...

How about this?

No, it's not her style.

Well, what is her style?

You buy something for a young lady,
it helps to know her.

She's a nut.

Ugh!

Uh... She's a tomboy and she's a flirt.

One minute she's punching somebody
in the nose, the next she's Scarlett O'Hara.

Oh, no!

Miss?

Yes, Senator?

I'd like one of those footballs, please.
And a helmet.

- She's gonna love it.
- She?

- They're for my niece.
- Oh.

Well... I'm sure
she'll be very happy with them.

- How about a horse?
- No. She's got too many of those already.

- Oh, Miss?
- Mm-hm?

- I'd like one of these.
- For his nephew.

How's this?

I knew it!

I just knew I would end up
with that thing.

- The cab driver, the way he looked at us!
- Absolutely no expression.

"Oh, just a lady and a gentleman...

and a nine-foot bear."

Oh, Rudy,
how am I gonna get it home?

I don't know.

- Hi.
- Hi!

How are you?

Meet a friend of ours
from North Carolina.

Well, how do you do?

Oh, hi. Maggie Porter.

Kate.

- Tom's wife.
- Uh, widow.

- Oh, of course. I'm sorry.
- Don't be.

Well! Shows you
how wrong you can be.

I thought you'd be down,
I'd cheer you up, take you to dinner.

- Good!
- Good?

- You'll join us?
- Oh, uh... No, thank you.

I think I'll go for a walk
and maybe do some window-shopping.

I love Colorado,
but six months in the mountains,

I come to New York,
I'm like a kid in the circus.

- Me too. Well, it's nice meeting you.
- You too.

I'll probably go right from dinner
to the airport, so...

I'll see you Friday.

- Bye-bye!
- Bye-bye.

Ah. She's nice.

That is the kind of woman
that absolutely fills me with envy.

She's so tiny. And that face.

Not a single feature in it
you'd call beautiful

and you can't take your eyes off it.

Uh... I'll get my jacket.

OK. Rudy?

Hold me. Just hold me.

- Hey. What?
- Oh, I don't know.

Suddenly I'm scared.

Of what?

You going to Washington
and me staying in New York.

I know you say we'll work it out
and we'll find the time,

but... what if we don't?

Hey.

Thank you.
This is a lovely present.

It's your favourite restaurant.
Why not have it to ourselves?

Found out how much they grossed in an
evening, offered them double to close.

If you know what I mean.

This place hasn't changed at all
since the first time you brought me here.

I can still see you.
A little girl of 15, already a beauty.

I was bewildered in a foreign city.

You spilled an entire glass of champagne
all over the table that night.

You're right.

And you were sweet and patient.
You made me feel protected.

I was your legal guardian.

- That's what guardian angels are for.
- Some guardian!

There you were,
a tall, handsome stranger,

dressed in a uniform.

Poor Charles -
stuck with an awkward, shy creature

who was madly in love with you.

You were never awkward.

And I don't remember you
being all that shy, either. To us.

No.

Oh, you remembered the crêpes.

Sir, you're wanted on the telephone.
A Mr Raymond.

- Oh, Lord.
- He says it's urgent.

- It's all right. Go on.
- I'm sorry.

Well, hurry back.

- At the desk.
- Mm-hm. Thank you.

Yes, Raymond. What is it?

A man turned up at my place half an hour
ago, from Jordache's committee.

- What did he want?
- He served me with a subpoena, and...

- Meet me at the house. Wait there for me.
- Charles, listen.

Charles!

- What's going on?
- Mr Estep?

Who is this?
And what the hell is this?

A subpoena for your wife.
And one for you.

- Tell him he can't.
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset the lady.

- Get him out.
- Just doing my job.

Get out!

- Claire, I'm sorry that happened.
- You said you'd protect me and you can't.

- I promised, and I will.
- You can't.

I'll have my lawyers on it
first thing in the morning.

Charles, what's going
to happen to me?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Oh, take me home.

Of course.

What have they got on us?
How much do you think they've got?

We've got friends on the committee.

Why don't you get in touch with them?
Find out.

I thought we had things locked up so tight.
Now suddenly there could be loose ends.

- Like?
- People, papers, God knows what.

- Don't be a jackass.
- We should leave the country.

- Raymond.
- Brazil, Dominican Republic...

All right, now that's enough.

Action, yes.

Panic, absolutely not.

This Falconetti.
Did you do what I told you to do?

We've arranged to
get him out of town.

Good.

You said you thought
you'd found the senator's weak spot.

That stepson of his.

- Abbott. Billy Abbott.
- Yeah.

And the record company -
we own that now?

That's right.

I think it's time to stop sparring
with our senator from New York.

And?

And go for the jugular.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean, she's cancelled
her evening's performance? Is she sick?

Now, look, just hold tight.

I know you're sold out.

Look, I promise you,
Annie will be there.

Right. OK.

Problem?

Annie Adams. First concert tour,
a little nervous. I'll handle it.

- After Philadelphia, she goes where?
- Let's see. Pittsburgh, Tulsa, Cleveland...

- Cleveland. That's the 23rd.
- Yeah.

Cancel it. She's booked that night,
to sing at a private dinner in Dallas.

Now look, man.
I can't cancel...

How much do you expect to make
in Cleveland?

- What are they offering in Dallas?
- Name a figure.

You're kiddir.

$75,000? For a private dinner?
Now, come on!

The fee's a minor consideration.

The real reason you and Annie Adams are
going to Dallas is to meet some people.

What kind of people?

This kind.

Hey! What are you doir?
I just bought that!

Are you crazy?
I just spent $150 for that coat!

It's a matter of values. To you that jacket
means something, but not to me.

- You're crazy!
- To you this company means a great deal.

To the gentleman who really owns it, it's
nothing. He'd throw it out of the window.

The gentlemars from Dallas.

- I get the message.
- I'm sure you do.

Then I can count on
you and Miss Adams being there.

Yeah, you do that.

Nobody's there? Operator,
the four numbers that I gave you...

would you keep trying them
till you get somebody?

♪ When the clock says

♪ It's ten after nothing

♪ And the man says

♪ I'm ten miles from nowhere

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

Listen. About cancelling
tonight's performance - forget it.

Philadelphia's a great town.
You're gonna love it.

I send you contracts.
Do you ever read 'em?

I'm illiterate.

Annie, for your information,
there is a paragraph that states:

Cancel a concert without cause
and they can sue our pants off.

- Oh, believe me, I got cause.
- Like what?

Like I wasrt ready for this.
Playing one-night stands.

Getting on planes, getting off planes.
Waking up in the middle of nowhere.

Do my gig, finish my gig.
Brush the creeps off the stage door.

And back in my room,
too hopped-up to sleep,

staring out the window,
wondering, "What am I doing here?"

Earning a living,
that's what, Annie.

Building an audience
that will buy your records.

Audience?
Oh, the blur across the footlights.

That blur is what supports you, baby.

This afternoon...

18,000 people,

and I sang for them.

I sang my heart out.

And for the first time -
nothing.

I could feel them out there
cold as ice.

Whatever it is I've got,
they just don't want it.

Don't be ridiculous.

Pouring my heart out...

and nothing...
nothing's coming back.

Baby, you had a downer.
That's part of the game.

You don't know
what it's like out there.

My hands are wet...
and I'm trembling, and it's awful!

I came off the... the stage
and I threw up in the wings.

Hey. It's your first really big one.
You gotta expect to be a little nervous.

It's so humiliating!

Asking them -
begging them to like me!

Hey. Now, you've had enough, baby.
No. Come on.

Did you hear me?
I said enough, Annie.

- Oh, just take the bottle and open it.
- I said enough!

I'm sorry.

But that's no answer.

I had a mother who crawled into the bottle
and damn near didn't make it back.

I can't do it any more.

Oh, yes, you can.
You're going to.

You're gonna get sober
and you're gonna go on that stage tonight.

You are.

Let me play... small clubs.
That's what my style is meant for.

You know? Where I can sing
to real live people and see their faces.

Come on. Come on.

No! No!

I hate singing! I hate it!
I hate it!

I hate it.

It's OK.

You'll sing with a piano.

That... that blur.

That awful blur.

- Come on.
- No.

Go to bed.

Come on. You've got two hours, baby.
You can make it.

There you go.

Billy, will you stay with me?
Please?

Yeah.

Billy?

I'm here, baby.

I'm here.

It's OK.

Where?

Wherever they need me.
The main thing is I'm gonna be a foreman.

And you know what foreman means?

- Foreman means good money.
- Doing what exactly?

I'm doir construction.

- You have no experience in construction.
- That isn't the important thing.

The important thing is
that they know that I can handle men.

The guy from the company told me
what they're lookir for is leadership. Hm?

When I get there,
I'll send you a card.

Anthony...

Why?

Oh, darlir.

Hey.

Whatcha doir?
"Why" what? Huh?

Are you telling me all these lies?

Disappear for three days, turn up,

and then tell me you were out of town
being interviewed for a job?

- Yeah, that's right.
- In your work clothes?

You werert wearing your suit.

Oh, Maria. Hey...

The day you vanished,
that's when it happened.

What?

This.

That man killed on the docks,
that's him.

His picture in the paper.

- Is it?
- So tell me what this means.

This picture of the same man.

- Where did you get this?
- In your drawer.

I found it with pictures
of Senator Jordache and...

Maria, you went through my drawer?

You went through my drawer?

Oh, Maria.

Let's just... Let's just stop this.

I gotta go.

Anthony...

You had something to do with this.
No, tell me what you had to do with it.

Nothing.

You have no reason to lie to me.
I love you!

If you did anything,
I know it's not because you're bad.

Because it's...

You're not well.

Oh, no. Don't say that.

- What are you sayir?
- That I know... what you did.

- I gotta go.
- I'm not gonna let you walk out of here.

No, please don't go.

You know, Anthony,
I'll find somebody to take care of you.

Anthony...

Maria!

You liar.

Murderer!

No, no. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean...

Excuse me.
I've come to see Senator Jordache.

He's not home.
Could you tell me when he'll be back?

- No.
- It's all right. I'll wait.

You wanna come in?

Thank you. It's all right.

That day when you came
looking for my brother...

I didn't understand
that you were trying to save your friend.

Yeah.

I... I don't suppose it matters,
telling you...

how sorry I am.

No, it doesn't.

Your uncle came to me once and tried to
convince me that Anthony was a sick man

but I didn't understand that either.

- I'm not sure why you're here but...
- To tell you he's gone. Anthony's gone.

He left my house this morning,
and someone has to...

- Gone where?
- What he did, he couldn't help it.

Gone where?

Las Vegas.

If the senator could get someone out there
to find him and take him to a doctor...

The senator's an important man.
I'm sure he could arrange it.

I'll pass along your message.

It's OK. I'll tell him.

Thank you.

Hello, Dick? Wes Jordache.

A couple of weeks ago you made an offer
to buy my bike. You still interested?

It's a deal.
You got the money?

Great. I'll bring it around.
See you.

Do you think he's back to stay?

Oh, I hope so.

You really love him, don't you?

Five years I've been trying
to make a family here,

and it seems to keep slipping
through my hands like sand.

Maybe there's a chance again.

- Wes!
- Hi! Kate with you?

- Yeah.
- I'll be right down.

Kate, help me.

Wes trusts you. I trust you.

I'll try.

- What's that for?
- Can we talk?

Are you leaving?

I don't understand.

Back there on the boat, you and I...
we reached out for each other.

I thought it was for real.

- It was for real.
- But you're not staying. Why?

It's nothing to do with you.

Then what is it?

Last time you walked out, neither of us
could say what we really felt.

Let's not let that happen again.

It's just time I found out who I am,
what I am.

It'll never happen if you're there
to pick me up every time I stumble.

Wes, you're only 19.
You've got lots of time.

I have to go when I'm geared up for it
or God knows when I'll leave.

- Sleep on it. Let's wait till tomorrow.
- I can't.

Please, make it easy.

- Where are you going?
- West.

- Where West?
- Listen.

Lots of people are hittir the road.
To see the country.

Get a taste of
what it's like out there.

It's the best thing in the world
for growing up.

I know...

I know you care.
That makes it easier to go.

How are you fixed for money?

See? That's what I mean. I haven't even
stumbled yet, you're there already.

Don't worry. I won't starve.

Kate.

Goodbye.

Uh... See ya.

See ya.

Rudy...

In every family there comes a time
when the best thing to do is to let go.

A ticket to Las Vegas.

- Round trip or one-way?
- One-way.

That'll be $110.50.

Thank you.
