that's good thing his father didn't hear

him say that collaborating on a

glorious day always historically

always touching well perhaps i'm

hopelessly out of date miss parker

but i can't understand the value of a

father knowing nothing about his own son

he knows the boy is his there's no

responsibility there

please mrs maggie it's difficult enough

i've worked all over miss parker

you're raising him brilliantly as an

adopted child

not my own there's the lie

i can never compensate for that

will take care of that thomas

this is the real world no one can reach

adam warner

he's not only honest he's rich yeah he's

rich

dishonesty it's none of my business

his private life is i don't care what

you have on him

as long as he convinces warner to lean

on his good friend arlen haber

arlen haber wouldn't prosecute john

wilkes booth if warren i told him

i haven't lost the night mrs mackey your

cooking remains plain

compliments are still not

charitable father ryan's a priest not a

diplomat uh-huh

and he'd probably put on 15 pounds in

rome

to rome for spiritual growth

jennifer you're a good friend if a

priest can have a home life

you've given me one it's nice to have a

resident priest here francis

jeremy simmons you need an associate

your cup of cases runneth over i'm gonna

kill you

not before rome jennifer please not

before rome

jennifer jeremy simmons is

very able and deeply troubled

and he was damn near this far

he disappeared from a case the morning

he was due to sum up

he was looking for his wife

she's destroying him maybe she's

impossible maybe he is

that's their problem jennifer

give the man a chance

among the most sought after tickets for

tonight's activities popping out all of

its social circles of water look at

the royal family surrounded by all the

money power and grace you can hustle

into one room

and i'll fall down i like blackmail mr

moretti for a guy like me it's a day off

no dead eyes no final prayers no begging

no cleaning up it's the part i hate

cleaning up end up a maid

try to keep it clean for you seaworm

no promises there may be some cleaning

bigger than ever

[Music]

then we'll deal with family matters

[Music]

well known in social and political

circles are coming out party in 1974

the new second lady of the land is sent

by many observers to have her eye on the

white house itself

for her husband some say she's

more ambitious than adam that remains to

be seen

but tonight all eyes are on the flawless

performances of the vice president

and his radiant wife

[Music]

welcome to your new hike

that'll be all thank you

nothing more this evening thank you oh

it's all

so beautiful thank you adam

with the new vice president like a

scotch and soda not too much soda

it occurs to me mary beth that you're

good at this and what

coronations inaugurations wedding nights

you're just an expert in success mary

beth an authentic winner

if marie antoinette had your brains this

would be a royal palace and there'd be

no need for revolution or democracy

poverty and injustice would be

irrelevant in your brain

you'd still be required adam without you

nothing works

ah but there is me mary beth there is me

because of you

without you i might be protesting out

there with torn jeans and

ketchup stained pamphlets without you i

might be living a life of feudal

exhaustion without you

without me it might be a hell of a lot

happier

but that kind of happiness darling comes

with a fearful price

what price obscurity

but that's not for my adam hmm is it

darling

i know you're restless moody and

desperately nostalgic but it'll fade

away

it will you will tune out that last

distracting whisper of your fervent

years

so this is it heaven does charge

there would be no scandal no affairs for

me

or you therefore old husband

you have the deal of the century

no love to interfere with sex no love to

confuse you

no bed to interfere with dreams

and so mr vice president

here i am the only game in town

[Music]

mary beth what what's wrong

wrong what could be wrong in this royal

boudoir

wrong there's nothing wrong well perhaps

something

tell me you still talk in your sleep

adam

and tonight the subject was jennifer

jennifer jennifer parker

he brought her here tonight you chose

this occasion to bring her into our

house

you brought jennifer parker into our bed

you didn't sleep with me tonight you

slept with her you brought a [ __ ] to

our sheets

wrong about what whether parker's a

[ __ ] or whether you brought her here

[Music]

let's stop for a moment okay fellas

hello hello jennifer sorry to wake you i

know it's late

did you watch the inauguration

yes i saw you it was very

i mean very colorful

hi adam um why tonight why after all

these years

there were no years only you

it occurred to me somewhere between all

those cheers and all that

pageantry that i was going to grow old

quite badly without you

[Music]

even after all these years

you can still make me cry

[Applause]

jennifer parker attorney at law she's on

the phone right now can i take a message

she'll get back to you as soon as she's

free

jennifer parker i'm sorry mr griffiths

she's on the phone i think so

we'll get back to you i'm jeremy simmons

have an appointment with this pocket yes

sharon i am not enjoying today not

enjoying it at all cancel the rest of it

yeah you have three appointments today a

preliminary hearing

and zeke farmer called from washington

three times

he's with hatchetform and telephone if

god needed a lawyer

that's the firm god couldn't afford them

you're jeremy simmons

okay let's see what ryan sees in you

your problem mr simmons is not your tie

i suppose you want to hear about it if

you want to tell me about it

i never showed up for my own summation

my client lost the case and he shouldn't

have lost the case

but you were wound again i wonder ken

uh who became a not so wonderful adult

all canceled

i keep them to remind me of better days

days when dorman were tall and all maids

slept in

and where is this uh terrible wife you

claim

i claim nothing my wife's whereabouts

are irrelevant

father ryan uh said that he thought you

might need an associate

are you willing to tell me why i should

hire you

are you willing to forget what you've

heard about catherine and myself

is it enough to tell you that uh my role

as victimized husband was written by

friends

i'm a good lawyer miss parker i

could even be a bargain

shrewd people do buy damaged goods

you can get years of use out of damaged

goods

i don't think you're damaged goods at

all

but you probably are a bargain

you're hired

want to know what you're going to start

on i haven't a clue

a child molestation please whose side

are we on

the alleged molester oh i want a raise

[Music]

yes

[Music]

sandwich and come here

lonely places

and you're still astonishingly beautiful

please don't hurt me

never

jennifer parker

[Music]

with his new cars

oh miss parker this is dennis callahan

the son of an old-school chum now

departed

mrs mackey's been kind enough to help me

get started in the united states

i'm from cork just got off the boat

which was a plane

i've been telling dennis that it's not

all that easy in new york but

he's willing no job too small no salary

too big

mrs maggie's been telling me what a

wonderful barrister you are lawyer

in the states and not all that wonderful

mrs mackey's been telling me i hope mrs

mackey hasn't been boring you with uh

family matters oh nothing like that

i think i've taken too much of your time

oh no no stay where you are mr callahan

i have some calls to make oh miss parker

your office called to remind you that

lunch with deak farmer is confirmed for

tomorrow

and mr simmons called the hearing on the

glenn morris case is set for thursday

ken morris

isn't that the child molestation case

ms parker surely are not going to the

man's entitled to a lawyer

but people like that our people visit us

again mr callahan

i would really like that i feel almost

family around here

so welcome to new york

isn't she nice though

cold salmon would be nice and the lady

will have the veal piccata

and with the salad rockford or vinegar

is that all right with you

yes fine oil and vinegar andre thank you

mr farmer

if you ever want to rattle the

imperturbable andre just call him andrew

he'll drop his menus and composure all

over the restaurant

now why would i do that because andrew

was his real name andrew belkin

the firm wants you why

why what do you mean what

mr farmer the firm of hatcher foreman

and delefant is as big as you can get

you've sent one partner to the united

states supreme court

you've given the country an attorney

general secretary of the treasury uh

we don't talk about him

so how about it you could go all the way

margaret delafont is

desperate to have you as i said before

why

she thinks you're brilliant and she

wants to center the firm

center the firms more balance more women

more ethics

more non-establishment types

no no

no i have a nice practice

and i have freedom

i'm doing fine well you are doing fine

but it is no crime to take on the big

ones the ones that

go into the books we lawyers study and

use

the cases that expand the law that

expand thought

miss parker if you don't want to get

rich

that's your problem but if you don't

want to use yourself to the fullest

that's everyone else's problem i could

get

fired for losing you then have marco

delafont call me

i'll cover for you i won't tell her how

you botched it

you laugh like a chicken

excuse me but i don't believe anyone

asked you to sit down

go away lady and myself have business

you don't leave you'll be escorted out

before you go to bed tonight

and if you're very lucky only your

kneecaps will be broken

by who please mr i said by who

when i was very young and brave and

foolish

my kneecaps were broken the gentleman

who broke them died some years later

he died very badly

but my knees still hurt

i'm michael's brother it's okay mr

farmer

finish your lunch i will call delephone

you wanted to see me let's go outside

[Music]

michael said you were tough

[Music]

please don't touch me like that

parker

you're about ready to explode miss

parker

miss parker yes mr moretti

poor michael

[Music]

i wonder if he knows he's dead

still one can't collaborate with the

dead

we need the help of the living

now you'll collaborate with me won't you

miss parker

you'll help me avenge my brother's death

[Music]

you're a fair-minded person

aren't you

[Music]

just never leave me again michael i

intend to be free of you

hans christian anderson born 18 5 and

the slums of odin's on the island of fly

denmark mr anderson did not admire his

fairy tales he dismissed it

he preferred dark plays and strange

novels

imagine

he never understood the impact of his

tall tales

died in an asylum in copenhagen 1875 a

stark raving maniac

are you going to punish me for your

brother's death

if i were going to do that it would have

happened a long time ago while i was

still sick with hate

and you're no longer sick with hate

the hate grows

along with my business acumen are you in

the same business michael was

the legitimate part is there a

legitimate part

all right mr moretti you could have hurt

me and you haven't

what do you want you owe

my brother saved your son's life he

received very little for his efforts

very little

when your brother tried to kill adam

warner the bullet intended for him to

sight it on me

because of that bullet mr moretti i

can't have any more children

that was your brother's legacy to me

your kid's alive

michael is dead you owe us

if i don't pay

look at that great and beautiful face

imagine all of the beauty that he gave

to children

all the magic

still the man was mad absolutely nutty

as a fruitcake

[Music]

i can see why michael loved you

[Music]

my god what can happen to a man

[Music]

mr morris really you you must have given

the boy some reason

he did try to kill himself

i

i don't know

i mean there's nothing

william was extremely polite

very attentive he was a perfect student

not like some of the others

what others mr morris the other students

most of them didn't really want violin

lessons

their parents wanted it for them

they missed appointments they didn't

practice

why did you take them you know how few

concerts the westchester county

orchestra gives

i did better playing on cruise ships

at least there were tips

i never touched william havermeyer

i never touched anyone excuse me

your tickets to washington compliments

of hatcher foreman delephant

i think they've booked you at the hayes

adams

so it's beginning huh

only going to listen taking a real

washington party

whatever happens you're on board i would

appreciate it if

i could go home now of course

what i don't understand is why william

would say something like that

he was always so polite

isaac stern is doing the brahms concerto

tonight

it's on the radio that's nice

i met mr stern once

he was most cordial

look all we have

is a mentally ill client morris did make

a pass at the boy

it was a serious pass the boy could not

take it he fell apart

and tried to kill himself maybe

i just don't buy the motivation

morris is a loner granted but he's a

musician

even musicians have friends

if we could just locate someone who

knows him get character witnesses

oh i want more than a character witness

oh i don't know what i want

get me a list of all morris's friends

relatives acquaintances anything

thank you who

jeremy it's for you oh

where oh yeah i know that place

i get there as soon as i can jeremy

is it catherine what is it jeremy

[Music]

katherine

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

um

[Music]

um

[Music]

that's right he told margo to dinner

party the other night that without

cocktail parties which he profoundly

despises you wouldn't know half as much

about what he's supposed to know

want another well this is fine hey

cocktail hour is a splendid hour

i thought you and miss delephant wanted

to see me privately

well with margo's schedule and a strong

wish to make a deal with you

this is your first opportunity for a

private meeting

this this believe me miss parker in

washington 85 percent of businesses

conducted at cocktail parties

or charity functions so here this

evening margaret gets a sparkling

deduction for charitable entertainment

a chance to push the smithsonian

building fund which she cares deeply

about

and a chance to make a deal with you

stay with her deke keep her laughing

drinking and impressed

i'll be over in a moment is she always

this no

when she's angry government buildings

close monuments cringe

but you adore her don't you one doesn't

adore margo delephone

one worships her

oh there's senator ainsworth look at his

little skip when he walks it means he's

swimming in his cups

he looks absolutely sober to me he isn't

not that he couldn't hold the senate

spellbound for a half an hour

so how do you know he's drunk ainsworth

and i were lovers two presidencies ago

he fell out of bed once too often

my firm still represents him the darling

hello margo

you look marvelous hello ireland oh i'm

especially glad to see you oh

why especially well you're new and

gorgeous and

newly powerful jennifer this is the

honorable arlen haber

he's our new deputy attorney general

arlen this is jennifer parker

firm well

learn a great deal from margot

joining the firm i

really haven't said yes to anything we

at the firm are eternally optimistic

what's wrong see a ghost just a [ __ ]

priscilla

ooh where come on mary beth

[ __ ]

which one is yours

if you're worried about turning your

life upside down don't you can stay in

new york

we have a great team in new york i spend

a lot of time there

i do have a staff it's small granted

bring in

anyone you want

i don't practice you our kind of law

there's only one way of practicing and

that's practicing

well successfully and honestly we're

merely giving you a strong position to

do more of what you do so well now

see jennifer margo never talked to me

this way darling boy we never solicited

you you came to us

remember with a badly typed resume

in scruffy shoes you're an able lawyer

and there's always room for a handsome

white bachelor

who wears sweaters and kind of sprawls

about

hello margo well hello mrs vice

president oh i'm so glad you're here

you look incredible mary beth you make

me feel like i've just made a miraculous

recovery i've not come out of intensive

care darling i've merely come to your

sweet little party you uh

you know are miss parker

i believe so

here's my big catch

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

um

[Music]

at the request of the chief assistant

district attorney mr bluestone

i convened this court for two o'clock

sharp is anyone here from the district

attorney's office

who can open for the people

are you it not really your honor i'm

i'm assigned to this case to help i mean

i'm new

do you have any idea where mr bluestone

is could god know

blue stone is much later we can get a

postponement

how is this what's dasava doing here

people apologize to the court your honor

as well they might

this court will not tolerate the

district attorney's office arriving at

any time he chooses

again my apologies your honor but we've

changed schedules i

intend to present the people's case

against mr glenn morris myself along

with mr bluestone

an egomaniac he took the case from

bluestone

your honor may i address the court you

may your honor since mr desalva has

chosen to make an entrance your honor i

object denied

proceedings parker since district

attorney de salva has

chosen to parade himself into court late

i request you to instruct the jury to

disregard any implication that the

appearance of mr de salva

is in any way significant as to the

validity or certainty

of the state's case this court may not

interfere with the district attorney's

judgment

which includes taking over a case

himself and so we'll order

no such instruction mr de salva

please make your opening statement

thank you your honor

and i would challenge the heavens

themselves

to put into any language let alone into

legal terms the

horrors which have been visited on an

innocent child

waving her right to cross-examine the

victim william havermier

even the noted defense counsel has

recognized

the ultimate savagery of this case

even if her action was intended for the

press

yes even so

the noted defense counsel cannot bring

herself to further destroy that boy

damn he's good he's still good

[Music]

uh

[Music]

dear god in heaven how about holding off

a little

i do want to go to rome just once

what do you say on my word of honor dear

lord i won't get a dime back

from the excursion tickets if i cancel

not a dime

so give it a thought

this is it i've changed outfits three

times and if he doesn't like this one i

don't like miss parker

mr warner hasn't seen any of them oh it

doesn't matter

i'm i oh he's gonna hate this one miss

parker

the vice president is coming to see

joshua that's what he's been saying

he's been saying i still look terrible

you look lovely oh

now remember joshua doesn't know adam is

merely a guest

merely a guest

good it's all clear here no problem

who is it adam

[Music]

so

[Music]

joshua stop staring can't help it

he looks like a tv star are you a tv

star

tv

you're strong i love you

hey mom the next man loves me

we'll get on fine miss mackie is

watching television in her room

supper hey pal

it's about time to get ready for bed

i'll come in in a little while

mommy has terrific friends good night

joshua

adam you know me pretty well

i think so well i've had a feeling for a

while now that

i'm being watched or followed i know

that sounds silly

well forget it

jennifer the secret service is charged

with protecting the

president the vice president and the

families

joshua around the clock

so the secret service knows now only the

president

he made the assignment himself he even

took the chance that

the secret servicemen might think that

joshua belonged to him

good oh josh suddenly everyone's his

father

two months ago no one was

adam what is it i've been

badgering you for weeks to let me see my

son

i came here tonight convinced i could

handle it by it's all right adam

we have a wonderful boy

[Music]

it's funny

i grew up in a big house

and now i reside in an even bigger house

but i don't

[Music]

live there jennifer i guess

i don't live anywhere

i gave you a son

i can't give you a home

we can't cross-examine habermeier the

jury thinks he's a golden boy

yes sharon delafont is arriving in new

york today and wants to meet with you

okay make the appointment you're going

to move over to delephone

i'm tilting because desalva's murdering

us on the mars case it's only one case

lose at the delafont firm

but with more style come on we're

running late

see you later chairman bye-bye bye

uh four o'clock that's good

taxi

[Music]

jennifer anything wrong what is it we

may have a break let's go

of mr morrison that you've been combing

the city for

well he's back in town this is his

address he'll wait for you

he says glenn morris plays a lot of

wrong notes wouldn't touch anybody

get another cab and keep it going as

long as you can that judge is not gonna

let me fool around

father ryan said you were genius be one

i'll be back in court as soon as i can

you people realize of course it

destroyed my entire financial picture

with your schedule i never thought you'd

come to new york just to convince

jennifer parker

the lady is a hell of a lot more

independent than any others reckon

i don't particularly like jennifer

parker

so why are we trying i said i don't like

i didn't say the firm couldn't use her

oh darling rub my neck

new york makes me tense right here

your honor at this time the council for

the defense would like the court to

recall william havamer so that it might

have an opportunity for

cross-examination

uh i object you're wrong your honor

certain information has come to life it

gives us no alternative other than to

exercise our right to cross-examine

habermeier

you have waived your right to

cross-examine william habermeyer your

honor i do not enjoy the prospect of

confronting a child who has already

suffered too much

but i cannot stand by and have my

client's life destroyed

miss parker this court does not wish to

impede mr morris's right to a fair trial

but your request

sorely tests the rules of evidence and

court procedure thank you your honor

however given the special circumstances

of this case

and the possibilities of severe

penalties to the defendant

this court is persuaded that the defense

may cross-examine mr havermeier

objection your honor exception noted

you understand miss parker i must

caution you

you were being allowed to cross-examine

mr havermeyer on the condition of

extreme

caution you will not be allowed to

savagely maul this boy on this witness

stand

and i want your questions jermaine

non-inflammatory and brief

this court stands adjourned until monday

10 a.m

attendance on monday will be limited to

officers of the court

and the parents of mr habermeier

understood

all rise

court's adjourned

oh my father loved taking us to the park

on sundays

pain as it was

died

she touched my cheek

and she said you're a good boy

look after your brother he needs you

[Music]

important thing

a year old she may be dead

mr moretti i'm only talking to you

because i don't want a scene

now what do you want an ongoing

relationship

[Music]

i wish to continue the parka moretti

family

[Music]

not this moretti not this brother

[Music]

say you love me

[Music]

william is it possible that no crime

took place at all

that there was no attempt on mr morris's

part

he wanted to grab me i got scared

i ran around the room he kept following

me

playing the violin means a great deal to

you doesn't it william

it means everything

did mr morris ever discuss your future

as a violinist

i don't know what you mean of course you

do william

did mr morris ever discuss the

limitations of your talent

your honor william's future as a

violinist is totally irrelevant

it's your honor the talent of william

habermeyer

as understood by glenn morris and

discussed with colleagues of glenn

morris not yet brought out in this trial

is the very essence miss parker i am not

going to allow this line of questioning

i find it aimlessly cruel your honor

william habemeyer's perception of his

talent was at one time exaggerated and

full of high hopes

glenn morris did not understand the full

implication of this

parker i will not warn you again

i didn't mean to damage anyone

i didn't

you didn't mean to do what your honor

sit down

mr desalva go on miss parker

william did mr morris ever do anything

to you

ma'am mr morris never touched me

he said i would never be a great

violinist

he said he would never have taken me if

he knew

how much i wanted to be a great

violinist

he said that

it was all right to teach ordinary boys

but it was a sin to encourage ordinary

boys

to thinking they were

or unique

i i wanted to punish mr morris

i'm sorry mr morris

it's not your fault you're a good

teacher

i'm sorry

it's all right william

i should have understood

i'm simply not equipped to deal with

children who want to be great

mr de salva miss parker

would you two come to the bench

mr desalvo i think

what we have here is a tragedy

not a crime

tell me the truth counselor weren't you

pleased to tell catherine we're joining

hatcher foreman in delafont

the doctors say if he wakes up within 24

hours if he comes out of the coma

the doctors are lost

and joshua can't help them

and it all seems incredible stranger

takes my kid for a joyride and my

vaunted secret service lets it happen

if anyone's to blame it's me

if i had accepted joshua fight

stood at the top of the capitol stairs

and said

that's my kid

that's my kid

something else would have happened

you look exhausted go get some sleep

i'll call you the minute there's any

moves

i'm right i'm staying at our friends

where you going joshua's room

maybe he'll know his mom's there

[Music]

senora marqueza el senor boise

want a belt how about a nice bourbon and

water

echo a real american drink

personally i can't stand all that grape

crap

although i'm told that uh we own 200

acres of the best vineyards in italy

i'll join you

my late husband left me the vineyards

and the shipping lines

and 200 pounds of dust covering about

600 priceless paintings priceless but

god awful plus almost 100 real relatives

mostly poor and about 200 others

mostly phony how's the kid

not good you told me on the phone he had

a chance

italian doctors still believe in happy

endings well i started my late husband

on my casey your husband was reported to

be a great man

whoever reported that was on the take

oh he was all right i suppose he didn't

have a happy ending echo who does

nobody dies well the poor mark casey

he seems so surprised to have to shove

off

i think that he figured god owed him

overtime

god did reward him on earth he allowed

him to find you marchesa

well he took me off the streets of new

orleans

i turned to mom like he was never turned

on before

well how's the boy's mother doing

she must be a mess she's holding up

she sounds like a father he was always

bearing up well

god he was well behaved

it was almost eerie

so what you think boise i haven't been

able to get a straight

story all the years i've employed people

like you

is that kid really adopted

i was able to grab a look at some

documents i don't think so

but you did have an affair with that

politician he's the vice president now

is he the father no he's not the father

i've heard him talk how can you tell

he's too earnest to make babies he has a

daughter

his wife has a daughter warner was

probably being stalwart at the time

you're very suspicious of people aren't

you why not

most of them are here on a pass

did wanna give her any money i don't

believe she asked for money

what a pair a thoroughly married

politician

and a vulnerable wounded romantic

mamma mia

well boise you've done a very thorough

job and you haven't asked any imbecillic

questions

they'll feed you downstairs if you want

to give them a tip

they won't object

[Music]

what do you want now i want to play some

more games with my son and when i'm

carried out of here and putting your

latest chariot

go ahead he won't give you any trouble

you see

josh was sleeping

i only gave the boy a ride he admired my

car

[Music]

we're friends friends

you broke into my life you deliberately

gave joshua the impression that you and

i are friends

that we're family family make the word

obscene

and you who gave you the authority to

make judgments on my family

i knew your brother remember oh i knew

your brother too well

now you get out of here and you stay

away stay away from what's left of my

family

it's not over if the boy lives we all

start again

if he doesn't that's very sad but

nothing changes

you still owe us oh you

[Music]

business is business personal business

is personal business

[Music]

at least it's nicer out here

even for a hospital this one is ghastly

all that crippled shrubbery in the halls

all those nurses and doctors rumoring

murmuring if i was a patient here i'd

spend all my time screeching what'd you

say

i was bad enough to die but i have to

check out not knowing what anybody is

saying

you're quite beautiful you're a wreck

but you're quite beautiful if you'll

excuse me

please i my name is ala brandy the

marquesa alabrandi i live in tuscany

i'll buy you a drink there must be a

cafe around here there's always a cafe

near hospitals

nurses doctors students they could never

make it without booze

and bad food if you'll excuse me i'm

your mother for god's sakes

well don't look so shocked most of us

have had mothers at one time or another

it's all right kid i don't need money

but you can buy me a drink

and hate me later

so mommy here we are goodness it's been

a long time let's see

you left me in the crib with enough

graham crackers for 25 years and

enough love for 20 seconds

you know it's ridiculous a place like

this does not have bourbon

i talked to the boy's doctor why

you're really going to make this rough

aren't you what do you want

i thought i could help with the hospital

bills things like that

i can manage

how did you know about me and the

accident

[Music]

i'm outrageously wealthy i can afford to

have people look in on you from time to

time

anyone i know probably

daddy died you know i i know

he was a very good man why did you break

his heart

i did your father the biggest favor i

ever did anyone

i left him too easy

i did leave him you even easier

your dad was a class act a real class

act

and he bored the hell out of me you're

not victim how the hell do you know what

i was fit for

listen kid i was a pretty joyous girl

when i first met

what the hell was his name

i always thought that abner was a funny

name

go to hell been there didn't like it

left

just what are you

a working girl who got lucky

still you felt you wanted some contact

i wanted to keep an eye on you believe

me that's all

my you're beautiful

i mean you dress like you're sorry about

everything but

you are beautiful

god's sake didn't you even hear a baby

crying and all that dirty linen you

tossed out

i gave you to your father who was a nice

man

and raised you well

i'll be going home tonight i left my

number and address at your hotel just in

case

you need me

you look like me you know

your father was a nice man but not very

good-looking

you adopted a kid right you adopted

your own kid you didn't want to disclose

the name of the father

right

don't really blame you somebody could

get killed with information like that

shut up

[Music]

yes yes jennifer

joshua's back

thanks pal thanks for hanging around

it'd be awfully stupid without you

yes yes i understand

how sweet no nothing more right now

how good of you to call how really good

priscilla

if there was one person

one person who never let you sleep a

full night

never let you breathe easy never let you

enjoy even a smattering of your life

if there was one person whose very life

denies yours

what would you do

darling it depends on who

you're my closest friend you must

believe that but darling if there were

one person in the world i wouldn't tell

it would be you

darling at least tell me if it's a man

or a woman

suppose it's a man i'd probably kill him

and if it was a woman i'd definitely

kill her

[Music]

[Music]

seymour you amaze me

you're not the everyday tourist not an

ordinary anything

looked interesting got sick of reading

books about

restaurants churches

tickets are set the car picks us

up exactly 16 minutes

parker lady when you're putting her to

work

very soon the grand jury investigation

of worth is almost complete

what do you think vice president was

here

i think he'll come around

and then and then we satisfy michael

mr colfax wants everything to end when

the indictment on mr worth is squashed

colfax never had a brother and if he did

he wouldn't know whether he loved him or

not

are we still dealing with that secret

service man warner got rid of him he'll

retire on his pension and all the

financial gratitude we're endowing him

with

pretty expensive retirement

depends on his longevity can we pay the

bill i've had enough of room where's the

luggage

so rome is none of my business

everything you do is my business

because we are in business in business

for life

i told you there'd be no unauthorized

straying i handed you a package you

bought it

i bought nothing then i misunderstood

you

and that is unfortunate but now there'll

be no misunderstanding

there'll be no further contact with that

woman no calls

no shared memories it's over this

attacking

discretion to begin with leading to a

near disaster for all of us

adam you wanted power you have it

you have this great house you have

secret service men the president has

enormous respect for you

so don't embarrass us adam

don't scurry around like some alicat

with no home

no responsibility no family no daughter

offer a strong case for obsession but

i've known you all your life

you want more than anyone i know you go

to sleep mumbling more you wake up

screeching more

satin cushion if you thought it would

second-guessing me look mr callahan or

wassie whatever you call yourself you're

making a filthy afternoon even filthier

we could all be doing something creative

or educational yeah

yeah creative

look all i want to know is why thomas

colfax has you tagging jennifer parker

it's sort of silly thomas colfax and i

are partners jennifer parker is looked

after

why is colfax second guessing

me his old friend and partner

i don't know kovac i promise you

there is no more time mate now i don't

know how much suffering you've done in

your life

but assuming there is no pain you

haven't experienced

what is about to happen to you

seymour is a wizard at this sort of

thing

on the job training i think it's called

so mr callahan if you don't talk to us

about your life with mr colfax

you'll spend the rest of your blind time

sitting on a wooden

platform with your heart sending out

signals to limbs that no longer

exist so chum

who the hell are you and what is your

relationship to my dear friend and

colleague thomas fairchild

colfax

[Applause]

this beleaguered gentleman may have

nothing to do with colfax

he might even be who he says he is

[Applause]

see what a highly charged world we live

in mate

we look everywhere for the truth but in

a man's eyes

if we could see your eyes i'll bet we'd

see the truth

i'm sorry mr kelly

it's okay sir no hard time

mr callahan before we misjudged you

before we made it difficult for you to

see i believe that you did see us

i'm afraid that's unacceptable surely

you understand that seeing who we are is

unacceptable

[Music]

hail mary full of grace

interesting package isn't it vince the

first report we got was from two drivers

in the upper roadway

they saw this guy jump they see anybody

with them

no sir they say it happened too fast

you never heard of a secret service man

knocking himself off mr desalva

heard they're all very adjusted

two reasons why very adjusted people

finish themselves

one they were not that adjusted in the

first place

and two someone else made the decision

good morning miss parker good morning

miss parker did you two share one good

morning

jeremy's here and he said to tell you we

got the postponement oh great would you

ask him to come in he's getting his

things together

briefcase to father ryan he'll console

you

and wives and husbands even crueler

do you know something jeremy you don't

have to go to father ryan for that

you can get that sermon right here yeah

i guess i can jennifer

i don't doubt your expertise in these

matters i suspect you're a card-carrying

member of the heartbreak club

anything more yeah there is something

wrong

i might be unraveling but i'm still

trying

you counselor you quit you're not in the

fight anymore you don't

bleed you reminisce

you know what's gonna happen to you

counselor

tell me jeremy

you better tell me you're gonna grow old

gracefully

with witty stories for the old and lots

of quotable anecdotes for the young

you're gonna sit around quite safely

remembering

waiting your memories of pain are gonna

become so distant you won't be able to

separate them from a favorite sad book

yeah it might be ludicrous but i'm gonna

give it a whirl

you see i love catherine i'll probably

get mangled for my efforts

i might end up a suicide or a drunk but

not now

not yet

jeremy keep the keys

[Music]

stay at least until i get back

till i catch up with my past

until i earn the right to tell you or

anybody anything

keep the keys

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

you're here and i'm alive and grateful

and so very much in love

[Music]

if this is a dream and i wake up without

you

if it is a dream we'll put off waking up

[Music]

that's right i'm aware of it greg i

think you are too

listen if the president wanted treasury

in on this the secretary would have been

in boston not me

you want to change policy go to the

president

no i'm not calling from anywhere i'm

staying with friends trying to get away

from you powerful figures for a few days

right bye craig

i still don't believe you're here you're

actually here

what happened to change your mind jenny

i don't know

i just needed to see you

he didn't see us

i don't even care why you're here the

fact is

you are yes i am

and i feel strangely at home

whoever said lightning doesn't strike

twice

i know it's a little late to ask but

whose pat is this anyway

this pad madam is what we call the pad

to close buddy

what lean hideaway owned by a good

friend with enough taste to be elsewhere

a long way elsewhere

was it difficult for you to come up here

jennifer

difficult no overwhelming yes

to see a man i love

to touch a man i love

to sleep with a man i love

okay it's my turn

what are you thinking about really

thinking about

[Applause]

i guess you're still the fella the one

who can knock you down and haul you up

one guy who can prove hearts can be

broken

[Music]

can you really remain unnoticed even on

a beach between nowhere

vice presidents are not celebrities

jennifer

unless events bring attention to us say

during a campaign or a funeral

nobody knows who the hell we are it

could care less

i do

look at them they're poles twice as long

as the two of them

think they'll catch anything doesn't

matter they're fishing

and they're free

[Music]

great great cast

blessed are the children

[Music]

[Music]

hey

[Music]

look at him

all that mist

all those miles

one day jennifer will be at the other

side

so many cities for us to see

so many journeys to share

[Music]

it's strange adam

[Music]

places we remember best are the ones we

never see

please remind me where we were

damn right

okay thank you all right

i'm to remind you where we were where we

were is now

what happened remember i told you vice

presidents get noticed only at funerals

well i'm noticed i have to leave

tomorrow chancellor val died suddenly

i'll make arrangements for you to get

back don't worry about me adam i can

always get home

i don't even need a note pin to my

blouse

oh jenny we still have the night

[Music]

no more separations jenny

[Music]

i can't say goodbye again

what can you say

oh no

you really don't know do you

[Music]

you realize we'll be facing dissalva

again the third time this week

he won't let up and none of these cases

were his the man is obsessed with me he

thinks i'm guilty of everything

he never thought i was legitimate manga

doesn't like these cases

i'm trying him she wants to fire me

ladder

ladies and gentlemen i know that the

words

law and courtroom constantly expounded

here by mr de salva

appear somewhat more frightening away

from your homes and daily lives

but please indulge me for a moment

let's forget for these few odd seconds

that we're in a courtroom okay

let's imagine instead that we're sitting

around my small living room

talking about what's happening to this

defendant

a fellow human being try to picture

yourselves

in a quiet place where people of

goodwill

come together and share the problems

of everyday life yes

the jury life with people

idiots are in parker's living room life

with heart

forgotten the whole damn case ladies and

gentlemen

uh for a little while anyway i would

like you to forget

that you're in a court of law

that's a strange request from the office

of district attorney but

indulge me for a few seconds

imagine if you will that you're sitting

at home

in my living room we're just

chatting informally as friends the last

is stealing your stuff

so he is how dare he tell you to forget

you're sitting in a court of law

perhaps mr desalvo would have you

believe you're at a ball game eating hot

dogs

or at a racetrack placing bets for his

staff

so i'm asking you ladies and gentlemen

to remember to remember where you are

and to remember that all of us are here

to see that justice is done

and that the defendant is vindicated in

a courtroom

parker has learned a lot from you chief

for me

that lousy two-bit do you see what you

did to that jury

chief you have taught us some of the

fine arts i don't teach finer

teach jennifer parker you'd be like

teaching a piranha to eat slowly

by mr desalva you're upset now who upset

our eminent district attorney

our client winning don't think so

the pressure of the job maybe maybe

but doubtful listen broad listen bro

it's women jeremy there's the clue mr

desalva has trouble with women

or as he refers to them broads mr de

salva has been happily married for years

mr de salva has but does anyone ask his

wife

let's get out of here ben

okay i'll raise you too

how many cards do you want i only need

one car

to throw an inside street

dealer takes two okay now what do you

people think you're doing

the nice ladies teach me to play poker

your kid has possibilities

father ryan i'd like to see you up here

and i'll have a conference with you

later mrs mackey

me too

when did she contact you about a week

ago

she said she had business in cleveland

and wanted to stop

off in new york how did she know about

you

she follows things

you know of course that she's joshua's

grandmother

oh don't be so clever what did she tell

joshua

only that she's a friend well

that's something anyway your mother

you know joshua has really taken her

he invited her to supper that's all

right she can't stay she said she's too

jet-lagged to be

hungry she probably drank all the way

from rome

your kid is adding up the score

i guess you two are doing the same you

get worse and worse

you teach your child poker at his age

but kate tells me he's playing baseball

again

you know it's strange coming back to the

states it's been many years

most everyone i knew is dead the few

that are alive

should be dead father ryan don't laugh

at her don't encourage her she loves to

be outrageous

you should get married you should have

more babies

you make nice kids

i'm sorry

i did hear that you and the politician

are over

you hear everything don't you you can do

better than the politician

be patient i waited

i did better get the hell out of here

now that part of you i like

no i can't really stay

i've got a car outside and the driver's

probably starved

i'll call you before i leave

i'll be at the plaza if you you know

that is such a habit

such a sentimental ridiculous habit

telling people where you are

in case they need you me of all people

i guess i'm about 20 years late

there you go so i'll be at the plaza if

you need me

oh by the way all the way from rome

i tried to remember your father's first

name abner

of course i knew it was something

ridiculous

i'm not saying a word not a single

solitary word

but she is your mother ryan i'm not

saying anything

but after all jennifer she is your

mother

ryan i tried i did but she's she's your

mother

you'll have to cut a deal

i don't have to do anything

i'll get it

thank you

ah

sweetheart until now your problems have

been confined to stretch limos and satin

adultery

but there's a bill there's always a bill

and if we don't pay

exposure

i like joshua by the way what's his last

name

you bastard lady we are now into

overtime and people are getting very

nervous you will close the deal with

warner and you will give him this

if you don't give it to him you will go

over

on my brother's grave you will go over

mrs parker follow me please

so

[Applause]

jennifer i would have met you soon i

understand ever since we were

i know one funeral after another sorry

adam

i'm not here for reminiscing what are

you here for

it's incredible absolutely incredible

that moretz people think i would even

consider

asking the deputy attorney general to

squash an indictment that i would ask a

friend it's because he's your friend

adam they know he owes his job to you i

did not recommend arlen haber to the

president because he's a friend of mine

the man is a brilliant lawyer

moretti said no one would criticize

haber if he decided not to proceed he

he seemed so confident they think one

word from me to you can solve their

problem

jennifer they'll pull everything down

that's what they'll do

those kinds of people don't just

threaten blackmail

so the hyenas have come down from the

hills eh jenny

i'll let them i say no

and no and no adam

i knew it i knew it don't you touch my

husband you [ __ ]

mary beth whatever the circumstances

whatever i mean whatever the conflicts

the three of us have we're in this

together

we have a comment we have nothing in

common mary beth will you listen we're

being blackmailed

some people know about

jennifer and you and

a boy

named what miss parker

it had to leak out i warned you you

silly sophomore i warned you

it's too late for recriminations mrs

warner if you want apologies i'll give

you all you want

but right now adam must say let's save

what

i'll tell you what he's going to save

he's going to save his daughter me his

career that's what he's going to save

mary beth you don't understand moretti

knows who joshua's father

is they're asking for a deal they want

me to squash an indictment against a

super crook named jerry wirth

now do you understand they want me to

make a deal

for god sakes adam no benefits if you

don't make a deal

whoo so another hustler gets off who

cares

every day people get away with things

but still the system works

every second of history there's a

certain amount of dirty pool yet the

system works

every day somebody bends the law yet the

system works

what system you have no standing in this

court

adam you can make a deal with these

people

we tell them it's a one-time sale one

time if they come back for more

public servants are vulnerable granted

but

we can move in awesome ways those people

know that they won't be back again

mary beth does

make some interesting points not that i

necessarily agree with all of them but

there are complex issues here

and what are they adam there are 500

people waiting to hear you speak

jennifer trust me i'll do the right

thing i always have

and i do have you and the boy to think

of

noah

don't call him call him adam

[Music]

given the traditional priorities of

human needs

peace food health

and education must be placed at the top

yet without art there is ultimately

nothing

true we can have peace and full bellies

great hospitals even the prolongation

of life we can leap

out of solar systems and find infinity

itself but still

in the secret heart of all of us the

eyes

behind the eyes of all of us

the inner ear of all of us aren't we all

searching for some

elusive theme a piece of music

just the other side of our hearts aren't

our ears

picking up phrases a rhythm

a tall story that hangs around the house

like an old friend

aren't there gentle reminders of early

days when we all cared so much

that nothing else really seemed to

matter

isn't there some fragment of beauty

that makes us feel that even if the

stars no longer look down

we have the strength to look up

you did well james

i told you worth will not be touched

that's the first time i ever spoke to a

vice president

he sounded like a pompous squid

he'll sound worse one day soon

why not take a vacation james you

deserve it

you need a holiday don't stand in shadow

seymour

you make people nervous being innocuous

come in come in

thank you mr cookbox so how about a

vacation james

the company will pick up the tab

this is still my brother michael

there's still unfinished business

warner

parker your brother is dead jim

don't muddle things up it's not good

wanna drink seymour

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

did you enjoy warner's speech still

thinking about it

warner is a powerful speaker that's good

you have any trouble getting in no

i always like having a man on the inside

i enjoyed myself

you really thinking about finishing

warner and the parker lady

i never thought of anything else

i guess if it was my brother

i'd be just as crazy

want to come up for a drink i'm too

excited to sleep

sure

oh seymour how about some champagne oh

some soda water please come on this is

an occasion soda water

how about some ice huh

what the hell is this you don't

kill the vice president mr beretti it's

not right

why it's wrong mr moretti it

is wrong to kill the vice president even

mr colfax says it's wrong

even mr colfax

you work for me you crazy bastard

[Music]

we both work for colfax

it's not right to kill the vice

president

ready

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

so

sorry

[Music]

sorry i'm ready to fix it

moretti will take care of it already

can't fix his hair anymore keep it down

jerry don't howl at me you promised me

i believed you you took out moretti

you burned your own private hitman

before he squashed my indictment why

moretti went psycho on us he wanted to

blow away

adam warner afterwards i don't care what

happens to adam warner

afterwards but you don't well we do

killing a vice president

moretti could have pulled us all down

the whole organization

of which you are a major part jerry

don't be a diplomat margot it brings out

the [ __ ] in you

listen shut it off marco

jerry moretti had to go

what about me

you thought the assassination of adam

warner would bring the organization

down you don't know the meaning of down

i'm indicted you'll see down

you see down so far that a hole in a

swamp will look like heaven to you

jerry we're not going down and neither

are you you think we're stupid enough to

count on only jim moretti's blackmail

yeah yeah i think you're stupid enough

i was that's very generous of you

but don't aggravate me

jerry you will not be indicted i give

you my word

the company's word

we've been together a long time

i've never walked on your lawn i've

never ruffled

any one of your splendid feathers hmm

then don't begin

you remind him margo

remind him who i am

i know who you are jerry

remind him margo

he could take us down

so remind me margo

remind me who jerry worth

is

and on a local note the death of jerome

worth at 59

came as a big shock to the power brokers

of this city and elsewhere

worth apparently was killed by a hit and

run driver as he left his house late

this afternoon

werth was reported to be in some

difficulty with various branches of the

government

always a colorful figure worth had a

dazzling array of friends

so it's over adam it's all over nothing

more will happen

there'll be no further attempt to

influence you with maretti's death and

now with worth gone they have nothing

and they don't need anything they've had

a happy ending and so have we

you understand mary beth i never

intended to make a deal

i never said i'd contact anyone at the

justice department i never agreed to

anything

of course you didn't

darling it's all right to call jennifer

parker

you will anyway but do let her know that

her problem with fathers and sons is

over

tell her she can live quietly tell her

to

live quietly understand

call her adam it's fine with me

margo delafont was up to her neck and

the whole filthy mess

so i'm gonna take my little diploma in

four pictures back to a little office

with a little window

and along with jeremy practice a little

law that's what i'm going to do

and you feel okay about jeremy

i've been unfaithful to my life a friend

of mine called me on it and he was right
