between us and furious

[Music]

i want to apologize for the many

security checks you've all suffered this

morning

but the safety of the witness carl stell

and the sanctity of the people's case

against antonio grinnelli is at this

moment

the most important project for the

office of the district attorney of new

york county

well said mr salva oh shut up ben

what the hell do you think this is a

rehearsal for a wedding please excuse me

sir

it's the most important day of my life

and i fouled it all up i got the number

nine crosstown mixed up with the number

six and instead of being on the west

side i ended up on the no no

for parker trainee assistant i'm i'm

terribly sorry

please don't whine miss parker take a

seat

thank you

so welcome to the district attorney's

office

maybe some of you will learn something

now the courtroom is where the action is

don't hang from the stars yet because

you people

will be living in a world made up of

subpoenas

research mainly trivial law libraries

and still more law libraries

life in the courtroom is an ultimate

not a beginning

but half a dozen of you may run errands

and do other thunderous duties during

the grenelli trial

oh dear god she's not only late she's

earnest

all right ben pick five more for me

assign them and swear everyone in

and god save the people of the state of

new york

[Music]

the trial of the decade is about to

begin this morning i'm reporting from

the tombs where carl stell whom the

press

calls the singing canary is being

brought to testify against antonio

grenelli

the grand master of organized crime

stelle's testimony is the foundation of

the state's case against grinnell

the readiness of stella to testify

against his former employer

is a major triumph for district attorney

robert de salva

who promises double and triple the

normal security precautions to protect

the witness

now mr stell what other business are you

aware of that antonio grenelli was

involved with

besides loan shocking you name it

like on the docks mr grinnelli kind of

has a

major vote with the union likewise the

garment industry mr grinnelli is also

into

gambling record piracy

linen supplies a very industrious man

now mr stell what happened the evening

antonio grinnelli told you he wanted the

ramos brothers killed

objection overruled

you may answer the question

mr grinnelli tells me to invite the boys

eddie and albert ramos to a little party

i'm going in another direction

for a long time my long time ago talk a

little business

down to the pelican that's a very

private beach club

what happened then i uh

i picked eddie and albert up and drove

him down to the parking lot

mr uh mr grinnelli was there like

like he was waiting the boys and the

boys got out of the car they

uh they started to call mr grinnelli

an old man a sick old man

mr grinnelli grabbed my gun i swear he

hadn't done any piece work in 40 years

he went crazy he cut them in half you

witnessed the defendant antonio

grinnelli

shoot to death in cold blood two human

beings you're right

with hell your honor he's trying to

inflame the jury

sustain come here mr desalva and mr

reddy

knock it off bobby don't try that in my

courtroom again

you won on senator do it on your own

times

your witness for cross-examination your

honoris now miss noon

i prefer not to have my

cross-examination interrupted may i

request

the court recess for lunch now and i'll

cross examine this afternoon

all right this court stands adjourned

until two o'clock

already is going to try and tear his

testimony apart after lunch

and the chief wants to make sure he

steals on top of these dates i'm

delighted he remembered me

you were late that he remembers

id right this way

[Music]

mr desalvo would like you to look this

over mr stone

don't stare at me like that lady i ain't

no corpse

[Music]

there she is

[Music]

who paid you to give that package to

carl still paid me

nobody paid me you just walked up to my

witness and delivered this

one of your staff gave which one of my

staff your secretary

may turpin the knight client is may

turbulence for youth

no fate turpin has been with the da's

office for over 20 years how much were

you paid

are you accusing me of accusing you lady

i haven't even started with you

by the time you get out of prison you'll

be too old to enjoy that money too old

to breathe to eat

too old to live i received no money

i have absolutely no knowledge of

i'm being set up excuse me your honor

but this intramural bickering within the

da's office is getting us nowhere

mr grinnelli should not be kept hanging

around the courtroom

bobby is still still willing to be

cross-examined

class examples i better leave an answer

to his name

if i can't cross-examine the

prosecution's chief witness your honor

i'd like to move for a mistrial

did you tell stale he can be held in

contempt stella is more scared of them

than he is of us

can't we wait for may turpin she'll

clear up everything if mate turpin

climbs at the top of the building now

naked and sings melancholy baby it won't

change the fact that stella won't let me

cross-examine

i'm afraid this court has no alternative

but to grant the defense's request

and declare a mistrial thank you your

honor

i want this health for obstructing

justice

for tampering with a witness in a

capital case for conspiracy

you can't prove a single one of those

charges just you wait no

not one miss parker

i'm going to request that the appellate

division undertake an investigation

and if it feels the circumstances

warranted to begin disbarment

proceedings against you your honor

i would suggest you get a lawyer ms

parker

a number of bombshells exploded this

afternoon and all over the grenelli

murder trial so cunningly crafted

by manhattan's exuberant d.a robert de

salva rumored to have ambitions for the

united states senate the people's case

against antonio grinnelli was destroyed

by the criminal actions of a former

employee in my office named jennifer

parker

you louse you're hanging me without even

a hearing a further macabre incident

occurred when may turpin

a secretary in the da's office accused

by jennifer parker as the person who

gave her the frighteningly symbolic

canary

was killed by a truck while returning

from lunch to the criminal courthouse

the driver of the truck claimed that the

woman walked in front of the truck

two witnesses corroborated his story the

driver

was not held

god help me

[Music]

this is a creepy town

oh pop i'm so scared

[Music]

resume very carefully

public figure aren't you

i can't regret it save my clients from

uh

illegal lynching a lynching what would

you call him

mr grinnelli was convicted by the press

and the public and the media long before

he was even indicted and i resent that

i resent the salva using this trial to

jack himself into politics too

and i hate criminals and be a jailer

not a lawyer

we got a long way to go together

counselor

my

[Music]

and i think the governor will support

your nomination

he hates my guts charlie but he'd rather

see you in the senate

but i can't bother some of his people

still charlie i don't know listen bob

you owe it

to the decent italian americans of this

city

filth like grinnelli grab the headlines

and the rest of your people take the

wrap

let's put it right you want me to make

my name more italian

now your face and character are good

enough

i think adam warner is a cinch to get

the nomination on the other side he'll

be a strong opponent

if warner can nail jennifer parker i'll

vote for myself

you hate the lady that much

[Music]

cyril mulvar is a brooklyn loan shark

again

adam warner's trying to be fair but i

did deliver that damn canary

now one more week until the decision one

more joyous week

you see a lot of warner i've answered a

lot of his questions

he's a nice enough guy and desperate to

be senator

he seems ambivalent about that a kindly

perception

you like warner don't you guess so

even if his committee recommends

disbarment i believe i'd want to kill

him

ken what am i going to do if they disbar

me

what don't know

i'm weak on survival

would madam like to have an aperitif

while you're waiting i'd like three

right now

hello sam a bottle of dom perignon 75

iced and waiting

champagne does that park

you are free and clear you are judged

innocent of all accusations

of wrongdoing oh boy

i'm sorry

i'm grateful i would have

vehemently recommended this barman if

the evidence was there but

it wasn't

fine

by the way you look lovely

to jennifer parker attorney at law now

and forever

[Music]

i feel numb and wonderful

you had real doubts about me at the

beginning didn't you

yes

salva is going to have a seizure

teddy my being vindicated will it hurt

your campaign

i mean i'm still a a heavy in the

public's eye

the public's eye jennifer blinks and

looks elsewhere

it's a blessing for politicians

we have no children my wife is really

better with adults

successful adults funny thing our

marriage is dead the desire is still

quite strong

imagine feeling guilty about one's own

wife

my god marriage can be a lonely business

i think mr warner you're probably

sitting on a volcano

do you have any fun no

i mean not in the convulsive sense i

don't roar with laughter howl with a

ball game

no shiver over a piece of music or

go bananas over a work of art

and i don't like to kill fish won't do

it anything

[Laughter]

i sort of conduct a rap session

storefront style with some veterans from

nam but you can't really call that fun

that seems like a strange enterprise for

rich folks

no that's right some of us

uh rich folks were the real losers and

now why

we had more to lose we really believe

[Music]

will you campaign for the senate on

believing oh

i'll campaign like everyone else and

that is

that is that the past is not relevant

and that

the future is bright may i see you again

[Music]

why the hell can i look at you

superficially and be bored

now you're locksmith whatever

this is all wasted you know i don't

think so

i don't want you in my home mr moretti

oh

i don't want to be here this is too easy

what's next well

since privacy seems to frighten you why

don't we try a public place next with

lots of people and lots of safety

that

you designed

[Applause]

hundred

wilson

yes dave yeah right yeah i understand

hey i'll take care of it this afternoon

tell me could a convict in here get

possession of a deadly weapon

mr parker there are 240 convicts in this

place

and some of them are men of great

ingenuity

hmm any examples of this

supposed ingenuity i

think we have some samples in the goodie

box

could i take a look at the goodie box

all right

this was not his case he took it himself

he wants another shot at me

you won't be facing any kid assistant

d.a with acne and moist palms you'll be

facing me parker

i'm gonna have your eyes ears nose and

throat

i'm gonna ram your face into the law

parker

the law remember the law

doesn't frighten me if you thought you

were white before a lady

take a look at yourself now

what's this

[Music]

who do you think sent it anybody

abraham wilson has confessed to the

murder of a fellow inmate in the prison

yard

raymond thought but even if he had not

confessed

we have witnesses more than a hundred

witnesses

who saw abraham wilson murder that

defenseless man

in cold blood cold blood

without the excuse of emotions or

passions

cold blood

every man has the right to protect his

own life

if abraham wilson had not acted exactly

as he did

he would be dead i ask

each of you to remember one thing

under the law of this state the

prosecution must prove beyond any

reasonable doubt

that the act of killing was not

committed in self-defense

self-defense

your honor would you please direct the

defendant to rise

does counsel for the defense have any

objection no your honor

will the defendant please rise

there's a court clerk here mr galen who

is five feet seven inches tall

the exact height of the murdered man

raymond thorpe

mr galen would you please step forward

and stand next to the defendant

now would you both please turn and face

the jury

self-defense

there have been killings in prison

before this case have there not warden

patterson

well when you lock up hundreds of

violent men together in an

artificial environment they are bound to

generate a great deal of hostility

has self-defense ever been a motive in

any of those prison killings

sometimes yes so based on your

vast experience it is entirely possible

is it not

that abraham wilson was actually

defending his own life when he killed

frank i asked if

it was possible yes or no well it is

highly unlikely

your honor would you please direct the

witness to answer the question the

witness will answer the question

yes thank you

if the court please i have subpoenaed

from the witness some material i would

like to present as exhibit a

what is it it is called a goodie box

didn't you say a goodie box

yes your honor just what's in it miss

parker

weapons weapons that were made in

sing-sing by the prisoners

for the purpose of showing allowances

for the inexperience of my colleague

your honor

but there is no evidence to link

anything in this so-called goodie box to

the case being tried before this court

this box proves this box proves nothing

the state objects to the introduction of

this exhibit as immaterial and

irrelevant

objection sustained your honor the

ground has been prepared for introducing

this evidence

the district attorney prepared it

himself what

i never allowed any statements with the

court stenographer please read the

statement beginning with

more than 100 witnesses who saw abraham

wilson your honor are you going to allow

this to be

more than a hundred witnesses who saw

abraham wilson murder

that defenses stand in cold blood

without thee

that's enough thank you

those are your words sir more than a

hundred witnesses

who saw abraham wilson murder that

defenseless man in cold blood

the key word your honor is defenseless

mr disalva has left an open door for us

to pursue the fact that the victim might

not have been defenseless

that he might in fact have had a weapon

whatever's brought up in the direct is

admissible in the cross i believe miss

parker has a point

you did leave the door open you know but

only in the narrowest sense

the court will allow the evidence to be

entered as exhibit a

thank you

relax she's won nothing really ladies

and gentlemen

for days now you have been hearing how

abraham wilson

wantonly attacked raymond thorpe who

stood only five

feet seven inches tall i believe with

total conviction

the only motive that justifies killing

someone

is a man fighting to protect his own

life

you have heard howard patterson testify

that murders have occurred in prison

the convicts do fashion deadly weapons

so it was possible that raymond thorpe

was armed with such a weapon

it was possible that he was attacking

the defendant

and the defendant trying to protect

himself was forced to kill him

in self-defense

when i first looked into this box i

could not believe what i saw

you two may find it hard to believe but

i ask you to remember that this box

was brought here by the assistant

wharton of sing-sing prison

this ladies and gentlemen is a

collection of confiscated weapons

secretly made by abraham wilson's

fellow prisoners

no argument thank you objection your

honor i protest this padre theatrical

display

its behavior i'm becoming a member of

the bar

your honor i practice

mr wilson did you kill raymond thorpe

yes ma'am would you tell the court why

it's going to kill me

is this the weapon that raymond thorpe

threatened you with

yes ma'am

and when he came at you armed with this

you were forced to kill him

in order to save your own life yes ma'am

thank you your witness

raymond thorpe attempted to kill you

with this

yes

doesn't look very lethal at all

it looks to me like a tin pair of tongs

even if the deceased had been able to

hit you over the head with this

it might have caused a small bump

so exactly what is this

testicle crushers

oh there they are come on

i won i won i'm i wanted you to know

first because i'm practicing law again

because of you

well i haven't disturbed you have i

a drink that sounds special

of course how do i feel

it's a steal we get two glasses of wine

and a sale around manhattan

how much is this deal 35 bucks a piece

they also throw in some cheese

cheese oh they're gonna lose money on me

ah thank you excuse me sir

aren't you the man that's running for uh

running for the united states

yeah sure you're warner i think my

life's all for you

and you i haven't made up my mind but

when you do vote early and often

congratulations again counselor thank

you

it's a lovely place to celebrate

do you have any problems in being seen

publicly with me

not as long as it stays public being

seen with an astonishingly beautiful

woman never hurt a politician

oh boy astonishingly beautiful it's too

flowery

no not at all my partner ken kenneth

bailey

calls me all kinds of outrageous things

but he's irish

he sure is i like him you know ken

oh yes yes we used to use him a lot he

had good grades in law school but he

never took the bar

a dedicated researcher he told

marvelously droll stories particularly

when uh

it's all right i know about the drinking

but i think

he's stopped for good i hope so

his wife was dedicated to keeping him

off the sauce

ken was married oh yes

to a lovely fragile redhead named nancy

i think she was even more vulnerable

than ken and

desperately in love with him

go on adam

you have a lovely person in ken

adam i'm not asking you to gossip but it

is important to me

well she came home one afternoon she'd

been visiting her mother in t-neck

she came home earlier than anticipated

naturally there

he was in bed with another woman

there was a man in the bed and three

days later nancy killed herself

i guess he's still waiting for the

highness to come down from the hills

we all wait in the dark way or the other

one way or the other

ideas

dreams i go to see mr grinnelli

you know mr bernoulli is an after-hours

friend thomas

we discuss life girls

football and changing the whole

operation

dream stance busy dreams

michael remember i'm still a family

counselor

to clear things with me

getting anywhere with a parker girl

i've seen the lady once since the trial

twice

well she might be useful to the

organization always business

am i gone thomas do i frighten you

not now michael or maybe someday

maybe later

where do you see it adam here it is

and a fireplace although not country-ish

it can throw off a lot of heat

so can you you make me anxious

in the kitchen it starts to cook before

i get home

it wants to prepare a wonderful dishes

for us you're the only wonderful dish

madam it's only noon holy noon you make

us sound like an old married couple

i wish we were an old married couple i'm

sorry adam i didn't mean to say that

remember ms parker i adore you

you're a magical person some of it has

rubbed off on a very

grateful pillow

want a drink

i'm so lucky

give you so little better you absent

than anyone else present

honest adam i understand

maybe maybe sometime no no

no promises i'd rather have no illusions

than broken promises

all right

ken heard you speak last tuesday oh

yeah said you were wonderful said you

made a lot of sense

so said you

mentioned your work with the vietnam

veterans

are you a little disappointed in me

posting

are you a little disappointed in

yourself well

seth needham you know one of my partners

said he thought i should mention it

you know in passing

i think you are a little disappointed in

me i have no objectivity about you at

all sir

none probably destroy me in the end

want to see the bedroom

mrs warner thank you for inviting me

i admire vlamik very much he also

frightens me oh i mean uh

his work is so lonely so

i'm jabbering i just jabbering nervous

yes mrs warner i need to i thought we'd

have tea

on the terrace

adam doesn't know that i've invited you

here

i just wanted us to talk

you must love adam very much

it's a wonderful thing to love that way

it gives a sometimes chaotic existence

focus green sugar no

that's why i asked to see you

i think you must be the most civilized

person i've ever met

i suspect it's easy to be civilized when

one is examining the past

is it the past very past

i want you to know mrs warner that

neither of us plan to

oh damn what a weary cliche

i haven't run into an original triangle

yet have you

no i think i fell in love with adam the

first time i saw him

we both had the same friends went to the

same parties

in our rarefied circle it was inevitable

that we would get married

oh don't misunderstand me though i still

remember adoring adam

and i think he still remembers adoring

me

but people change don't they yes

i feel brand new

you see i'm very much in love myself

oh don't look so startled it can happen

to the faithful wife

did i look startled you did

i was going to get the divorce

immediately but for adam's sake i

decided to wait until after the election

it seems to be a close one a divorce now

could seriously hurt his chances

especially with some of his hardcore

supporters

so for his sake i decided to delay it

what would forgive me is that agreeable

with you

you're more than accommodating mrs

warner

jennifer just one favor please

let me release adam

let me let go all right

of course

[Music]

wow

[Music]

[Music]

they are still trying for the perfect

poster

this one looks like a toothpaste hat

that's what troubles me drink

i thought the evening went very well

charity and politics the ultimate couple

oh don't be so cynical cynical mary beth

i mean charity is the final debasement

of society

and politics well

surely the quintessence of sham

so charity politics

god's double-barreled answer to

progress thank evans you don't talk his

way in public

but i do it's just so

couched in middle-class rhetoric that

people actually think i'm a safe

candidate but you are

safe mary beth

you are not being kind adam i'm for you

even more than you are

adam you still find me attractive

don't you

you and jennifer parker i've known about

it for some time

please adam let me finish

i know that our relationship has not

been everything

well that we hoped it would be perhaps

i've not been as good a wife as i should

have been

but i'm sure we'll both agree that

emotionally we're all run out

nothing that happened is your fault

please adam

this is very embarrassing for me

you know that i admire you far too much

to ever hurt you

despite your liberal meanderings from

time to time i believe you have a

brilliant political future

our association is obviously making you

miserable

if jennifer parker can make you happy

adam and make you politically productive

i want you to have her

what about you

i'll be fine don't worry about me i have

plans

very nice plans actually

i think you'd approve we'll talk about

them one day

after all i am a constituent

oh adam don't look so stricken

what i'm doing is the best thing for

everybody

it's even good for me how about that

there are no villains no losers

everybody wins you're remarkable

thank you my dearest adam

i will always be your best friend

always

do you know how long it's been since you

held me in your arms

you wouldn't have to say you loved me

but would you

would you like to hold me one more time

and make love to me

you want to make love no

even sooner oh

adam come on if sex were everything we'd

be the happiest kids in town

so what do you say senator hmm

how about it

for one last night let's forget about

marriage

and remember affection

and adam the room is

paid for

[Music]

let's go this place is surreal you've

come a long way in three months

counselor

we have an office bursting with business

cams tend to evaporate at this hour the

bus goes right by our office

bus you just landed another sweet juicy

case

you're taking us out of the bus business

oh look at this view

our next office is here okay

listen to this ken district attorney

robert de salva running hard for the u.s

senate

claimed that a wave of greedy young

lawyers is washing over

our court system using methods that are

abhorrent enough already

well he did everything that named me as

one calm down this hustler's just

running for office

last week he claimed that adam warner

was soft on organized crime

come on i think it's important that adam

get to the senate

for who

there was a package at my apartment

later pal tell me about your admirers

later come on let's get a cab

[Music]

you look beautiful here i

am as requested thank you

you could have come to the apartment

adam i know it

i have no secrets from you no secrets at

all

i've been coming down here since i was a

kid i never get tired of it

when i'm in the city i sometimes start

my jogging

right here

i think in a way it's the loneliest

place in new york

lonely people like lonely places

you know the east river isn't a river at

all jennifer it's a channel

did you know that no i mean it doesn't

start out like a river

has a mouth a base

i don't know it's just not a river i

believe you

mary beth is pregnant

you

yes

what uh questions am i supposed to ask

i mean it's it's kind of ridiculous

like

you still sleep with your wife

been unfaithful to me

i mean it's bizarre i

i don't even have the right you have

every right

i've been faithful to you

jennifer you break my heart

there's a no one else in all the world

that i love adam

and i you i know it sounds ludicrous

after what i told you but it's true

i think maybe it is true

but it doesn't mean anything

mary beth and i came home one night both

a little drunk the subject was you

it was we were talking about divorce and

friendship and

all good things for all of us it was a

healthy conversation oh i'll bet it was

please jennifer doan it's bad enough bad

enough

what a childish expression from a

grown-up man

oh i'm sorry adam i'm hurting terribly

please don't don't marry beth is not

going to be difficult just that she

doesn't want to do anything now during

the campaign

the pregnant wife of an oncoming

candidate deserted

it would be fatal her words are yours

jennifer it just means waiting there

will be other elections

and others and others

mary beth intends for you to be

president one day

she does she intends to be mrs adam

warner forever

an active mrs warner

so it's over adam no

i love you but go home you have a wife

a child on the way and an extraordinary

means nothing

if it meant nothing this conversation

wouldn't be taking place

adam dear adam

[Music]

you have a wife a working

she's brilliant she took me she rolled

all over me

and that's that's good good for a

senator's wife

hold on to her

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

so

[Music]

hey

your partner almost had a miscarriage

[Music]

[Applause]

new york state this network's poll

indicates

a major victory for adam warner we go

now to the commodore ballroom where

warner supporters are beginning to

congregate for the anticipated victory

celebration

we can make out the candidate's wife and

close associates but so far

there has been no word regarding adam

warner

and now to the edison hotel the

headquarters of robert de salva

it's a very common death penalty for

losing robert

hey don't shut it off let's see him

concede don't want to see him do

anything except well now

the baby is going to make an exit oh

i'll take him mrs maggie

oh first she has to get above uh you

take him this is maggie

bathing kids is not my strong point my

expertise ends at frolicking

oh boy look at that face cake and

all right i love it i'll see you in a

minute okay

josh

well let's watch the next senator act

grateful and humble

no i really don't want to know too much

more about winners

than losers well adam warner is the real

loser

to have a child like joshua and not even

know it

it with me we agreed not to discuss

joshua's father ever

that child is adopted by me legally okay

you shut him off but if you shut him out

i'm sure trying sometimes i think i'd be

better off with an animal like michael

moretti

a simple straightforward lifetime brawl

jennifer please

stay away from him

i'll try again

look i'm uh gonna go upstairs and kiss

the kid good night i'll be up in a

minute

okay

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

i hear you're tough park you don't look

it i hear you're tough maguire you look

it

broken nose is all you need coffee

no thank you some good irish whiskey no

connie garrett case a couple years ago

right a lady supposedly hit by a truck

as i recall she lost the case and the

appeal we're going to file for a new

trial

really on what grounds complete

disclosure

i'm requesting a reopening on failure to

disclose all relevant facts gathered by

both parties

oh yes the business about the brakes

parker you would have to prove that the

same truck

involved in the accident had a faulty

brake system

all we have to prove is what a bad

safety record those trucks have

generally

and that you did not reveal the

established fact that some models were

defective

what is it that you're proposing i have

a client in her early 20s who's sitting

in a room she'll never leave for the

rest of her life

although you and i know that there is no

settlement that can compensate parker

the only thing that you and i know

together is that you want money for your

client and i don't want to give you a

dime from my client

what kind of settlement are we talking

about two million dollars

well that's a great deal of money for

somebody with no case

if you force us to go back to trial

we're going for five million dollars

are you sure you don't want a whiskey no

thank you

sit down i haven't said no you haven't

said yes either

two million dollars is a mountain of

money miss parker now if we were talking

about a lesser amount i might

you really want two million don't you

i really want five million

all right i suppose we might be able to

arrange something

i have to leave for london in the

morning but i'll be back next week

now to serious business

lunch why don't we wait

you can hand the check to me over

beautiful chef salad

come in i see you can still float

through doors

no security let me in how much

nothing fine of mine

good price before ken and i moved in

afterwards property was greatly enhanced

do you uh you think about adam warner

these days

i think about you a lot

michael you're much too brilliant much

too sophisticated you want something so

bad

you're pursuing some kind of fantasy

some illusion

you don't have to answer every phone to

be a success

you know that

please don't touch

parker

you're about ready to explode

michael please don't come to this office

again you want me to come to your house

no

that's why i came here

well i've kept you from your work long

enough

jennifer your phone's ringing you should

i should answer

your health counselor and yours how was

london

life

samuel peeps diaries samuel johnson

lawyer in hawaii

honolulu

honolulu a large city of the united

states where it is six hours earlier

than new york

mr mcguire of course it's legal as legal

as your statute of limitations

naughty language from one of our

distinguished attorneys and

globetrotters

relax maguire you could still win this

in court

didn't i say we'd worked something out

when i got back from london miss parker

adam warner keeps moving one year in the

senate they've just made him chairman of

the subcommittee on organized crime

he'll do well this guy the uh legal aid

people ask us to see scanlon

yeah jack scanlan ugly stuff

four-year-old girl

half a million ransom still the girl

wasn't her i don't like kidnappers kim

let's find out if he is a kidnapper okay

this is scanlan thank you

not yet

thank you for coming yes partner

i've done a very foolish thing and you

did commit the act

you call kidnapping a little girl for

ransom a very foolish thing

i didn't kidnap tammy for ransom well

why did you kidnap her my wife

evelyn died in childbirth

people today don't realize how many

women still die in childbirth

kevin wasn't strong our doctor advised

her not to have a baby

she didn't listen so she had the baby

they both died

it was like neither of them could afford

to take god's rent to stay here

i didn't want to go on living without

her

and and mr scanlan

a few days ago i saw

a little girl playing on the street

it was as though evelyn had been

reincarnated

she had her eyes

her hair i must have been out of my head

and i thought to myself this is the

daughter

evelyn would have had

this is our child please don't do that

mr scanlon

i wouldn't have harmed that child for

anything in the world

what about the ransom i didn't send a

ransom note the last thing in the world

i cared about was money

all i wanted was little tammy someone

sent the family a note

the police keep saying i sent it

i didn't did the story of the kidnapping

appear in the newspapers before

or after you were picked up by the

police before

i remember praying

they would stop writing about it so

anyone could have read about the

kidnapping and tried to collect a ransom

i don't know all i know is i want to die

then you don't need me

talk to me damn it i dragged myself all

the way up here when i should be going

home

talk to me scanlin give me

something something i was born

in north dakota on a farm

such a poor piece of land nothing much

one to grow on it

my mother's buried there

seems that dust is always spitting on a

grave

i know the bible says it's wrong to

speak evil of your parents but my father

was a frightening man if i did the least

little thing he thought was wrong

he'd whip me with a leather belt that

had a

big brass buckle on it

you have a family to go home to

a little boy that's my whole family

that's enough

ma'am

do you think anybody will ever hold me

tight and say

i love you jack scanlon

[Music]

i promise you the man belongs in a

hospital

scanlan needs care at least sir move him

out of that jungle they'll kill him

kidnappers are animals even to animals

the man needs treatment scanlon is a

kidnapper

ransom or no ransom jack scanlon is a

decent man with an indecent upbringing

you know he lost his wife and child so

it seems but move him out of that place

i'm not asking for bail i'd love to be

in front of the judge when you did

i said i was not asking for bail

jennifer keep it down

keep it down i have some poor heart

broken wreck squatting in manhattan

correctional with a hundred guys dying

to put a shiv in his heart and you tell

me to keep it down

i cannot request hospitalization for

every criminal awaiting trial

oh mr desalva let the doctors have a

look at him

that you know let me know

and that's all great so

your honor her husband's testimony

clearly proves that

my client was indeed damaged emotionally

as well as physically by that

faulty badly rigged scaffolding jennifer

and and with that emotional damage has

come a sense of deprivation

jennifer i feel a sense of deprivation

myself i beg your pardon your honor

you were making some telling points

counselor could we

i suppose so courts adjourn

till three o'clock if that's all right

with you sir oh

thank you your honor thank you very much

virgin jennifer r

clients i'm not the one who's

complicating your life

no

so much happening jennifer please

moretti will eat you alive

he's up to his eyeballs with the mob

some people say he is the mom

and altogether male

1 that's not what i said i know what you

said

still i do love you jenny

my father called me jenny

god

i feel so funny

nobody looks familiar anymore

everybody seems to have gone away

that jungle out there has a way of

looking ordinary for a while

and then it reminds you of its terror in

most original ways

[Music]

he died peacefully it was mr grinnelli's

fervent ambition

to die well oh no one dies well

and they will all stumble into the dark

like triple beggars

pretty bleak picture michael you got a

brighter version

don't die who drew up the new world i

did of course

and the will is good valid witness i

know what mr grinnelli had in mind

what he had in mind michael is not

what's on paper

you know why grinnell shifted on you

there was no shift

he saw a brilliant man an iron man

turned into a sloppy lovesick fanatic

understand you really confused mr

grinnelli

first with that science fiction scenario

about going

quasi-legitimate second

your sentimental use of a an entire

apparatus to

catch a punk jackson the punk you use

the entire organization

because of a lady michael mr grenelli

loved you

he also pitied you he okayed the

operation he reluctantly allowed it

he felt he owed you your weakness if

he'd lived

he'd have been a guest but not a star in

his organization

michael you're not out you're too

talented to be out

there are dozens of matters i can use

your talents for

michael she'll destroy you

jennifer parker is mine so is the

organization

don't start a war with me mr cornell is

dead he can't help you

no one but god can help you

you were supposed to meet me at the

manhattan club

vachetti all right

you sanctimony is fraud

what will you understand

at night

finding the same slipper in the same

spot on the same stain on the same

frayed rook

do you understand coming home and

finding

yesterday's heartbreak staring at you

through

canker tears

and silence

do you understand gay bars

and happy couples do you understand

leaving those bars still alone

been here every day

they told me

most of those flowers are yours aren't

they

your party's all charged up you're a

hero

one dead moretti does not a hero make

i i think michael wanted me to come over

that night so

he could tell me he'd killed you

i think he wanted to announce you were

dead

he thought i would sit there costly and

wait for him

he didn't know you at all did he

i think he knew a great deal about me

the papers say your party has celestial

plans for you

yep that's what they say

they also say that you might be put on

the foreign relations committee

that's very prestigious isn't it i guess

so

mary beth must be very proud of you

i'm gonna tell joshua one day

what are you going to tell lots of

things

lots of magical things

and now what after the hospital

after your convalescence are you going

to take over new york
