All language subtitles for Cagney and Lacey s05e17 Post Partum.eng

The man is your father? On a piece of
paper at some city hall, maybe. Said he

wanted to see his daughter.

Oh, is that right, huh? Where's he been
for the last 30 years?

You're not even curious?

I can't hear you!

If your father walks away empty, you may
never hear from him again.

That would be nice. Oh, you don't mean
that. Don't tell me what I mean! Might

nice for them to have something they
never had. A grandfather, I mean! Dad!

Don't you dare tell them about him! Is
Dad coming back?

Why would you think he wouldn't? Your
dad didn't. You're angry at your father!

And I am not going to take the rap.

Mr. Brennan, when you were arrested,
were you on a weekend pass?

What were you doing in that hotel room?

Where'd you get the cocaine?

Were you going to use it?

Were you going to sell it?

You trying to protect someone?

Why won't you answer my questions?

No offense, ma 'am.

But I don't think I want to talk to you
anymore.

Yes, you're starting to repeat yourself.

Maybe it looks like he's guilty, but I
know he's not. The kid was caught in a

hotel room with three brands of cocaine.

To top it all off, we won't talk to his
lawyer, his family, or anybody else. I

was hoping as a cop you'd succeed where
we failed.

Hey! I tried, all right. I think he's
scared.

Well, I think he has every reason to be.

I just don't believe that Andy Brennan
could be doing coke.

But is it that belief that's making an
ACLU lawyer take a drug case? His

grandfather and my father were army
buddies.

So you're doing it as a favor? No, I'm
doing this because I believe he's

innocent. Well, you're the only one who
does, David.

Plead him out.

Chris. He won't make a guilty plea.

He's a couple of months before
graduation.

They kick him out of school.

Well, then there's not much you can do
with a hard head like that, is there?

Unless you know another hard head who
might get through to him.

Are you trying to charm me?

Will you just talk to his grandfather
with me tomorrow? After Andy's

arraignment, I need somebody who is more
objective, who's done investigative

work. I'm flattered. I also have cases
of my own.

I can make it worth your while.

It's not even in my precinct. I could be
later.

We could go to a movie, have some
dinner.

Tonight I am going to Queens and I'm
taking pictures of my partner's family.

What are you doing afterwards?

I don't know.

What am I doing afterwards?

Don't touch it.

Harvey Jr., I've seen you look a lot
sexier than that. It's a family

Christine.

Why don't you get in there with the rest
of them? Come on, Mrs. Lacey.

Muriel, please.

Come be in the picture.

Maybe next time.

Mary Beth, can you get Alice to smile?
In a month or two, she'll smile. In a

minute or two, she'll cry. Snap the
picture.

Okay?

Good. One more.

There. Perfect.

Can we go now? Go, go. Get out of here.

Who's idea was it to have kids? Yours or
mine?

What are you doing?

When I'm lonely, this will remind me of
family life and life.

Let me take her here.

You'll keep your woman alone with your
friend.

Come, come to Grandma. Come to Grandma,
my little angel. Oh, my little angel.

Gotcha, Muriel.

Want some coffee?

Yeah. This is Mary Beth.

That West Point cadet I was talking to
you about?

David wants to help you investigate the
case. She gained five ounces because you

saw her lift.

I beg your pardon?

Twelve whole pounds she weighed. Can't
believe it.

Well, she carries it very well.

Mary Beth, are you listening to me? I
think the kid's guilty as hell.

Warm -up formula.

Thank you, sweetheart.

She's 24 inches long, Christine. That's
in the upper 85th percentile. Well,

maybe she'll be a basketball player.

I wouldn't mind.

Bob Jr. and Michael would love it.

Al, they call her. You give her a nice
name like Alice Christine, they call her

Al.

Dr. Margaret, are you really going to
come back on Monday?

Yeah, I still have to get my doctors
okay, and we have to re -qualify for

firearms. We do that Thursday, right?

Yeah, yeah, I've got it in my calendar.

Good. You want to go look at her?

I just saw her.

She's beautiful.

With the possible exception of myself,
she's probably the prettiest baby I've

ever seen.

You really should see her when she's
eating.

I have.

Not recently.

She's very active now when she eats. You
want to go see?

Well, uh, maybe some other time.
Tonight.

I've got to, uh, write some letters and
return some phone calls and pay some

bills. You know how it is. Well, if you
have to go, you have to go. Yeah.

Thanks for coming and doing the
pictures. Oh, I was glad to help out.

to you later.

Goodbye, Barb.

Bye, Chris.

See ya. Bye.

Look at that face.

She does have a perfect, beautiful face,
huh?

Your mother'd be happy the baby has her
name.

She'd be happy knowing I had a daughter.

Oh, I always wanted a daughter. My
mother always used to say, I hope

know how hard it is raising a girl.

And now someday I will.

So I'll be coming each day at 7 .15 if
that seems right to you.

You better get used to it, my Alice.

You got a working mother.

If I got used to it, so will she.

Okay. You look tired, dear. I am tired.

Yeah, and I'm about to get tired of...
Why didn't you let me give her her bath?

Oh, no, we're doing fine. Thank you,
Muriel.

Can I get her bottle?

Her daddy's doing that for her.

Yeah.

You know something, Alice?

Anytime my mother cried, I cried too. I
don't know what it was.

Yeah.

Nobody else did that to me. Not your
daddy, not your brothers.

And I love you guys as much as I did
her. Probably more.

Yeah.

But seeing my mother cry always broke me
up.

Oh, I guess Grandma had other things to
do.

Yes. Someday you'll have other things to
do, too.

Retired after 35 years.

Good years in service.

And all that. time, I never had one
black officer.

Army's integrated now, but it really
meant something that my grandson was

to go to West Point and become an
officer.

And he used to take his weekend passes
with you?

Ever since his parents died.

For the last four months, he's been
staying in the city. Do you know why?

There's a whole lot to explore in New
York.

Do you know where he goes, what he does?

Who his friends are?

All I know is that Andrew is innocent.

If I wasn't sure of that, I would have
never posted this bail.

Did he tell you anything about this?

He told me it was all a terrible
mistake.

With all due respect, Bob, would Andy
lie to you to reassure you because he

loved you?

A cadet is bound by the honor code.

He doesn't lie, cheat, or steal.

Sergeant Major Brennan, if your grandson
is involved in drugs, maybe the honor

code doesn't mean anything to him
anymore.

You don't become a sergeant major in the
United States Army without being a good

judge of character.

I'm telling you that my grandson,
Andrew, does not use drugs.

Come on, Coleman, it's not exactly the
same secret. You know, all we want to

know is who won the Lacey Baby Cronella.
A bookmaker is like a priest. My lips

are sealed.

Coleman, in magazine sweepstakes, you
just send in a self -addressed stamped

envelope, and they send you back the
winner. You can send as many envelopes

as you want. I am not telling you who
won the dough. If the winner wants to

you, that's his prerogative.

His. He said his, and that eliminates
Cagney.

What eliminates Cagney? We're trying to
find out who won the Lacey Baby

Cronella.

Is crime at a standstill?

Come on, Cagney, it's not like it's the
only thing we're doing. I am also trying

to find a date for tomorrow night.

I'm going to find out who won the bet.
You'll be the first to know. If Becky

gets a date, I don't want to know.

Thanks,

Petrie.

Cagney. I need your help.

There's a man in my office. I told him
he should talk to you that...

You may know more about this, or at
least you would know how to handle it.

bottom line is, I don't want to deal
with it. So I'm going to tell him that

turning it over to you.

Lieutenant,

would you like to brief me first? I
mean, this may seem silly, but I tend to

a little upset to screw things up if I
have a vague idea of what's going on.

That man in my office is looking for his
daughter.

A missing person?

That's so depressing.

Give it to Newman.

Well, no, maybe this one will be
different, you see. He says he hasn't

daughter in 30 years.

Then maybe it's best if we turn it over
to missing persons.

Normally I would, but this is a special
situation.

They all think that, Lieutenant.

His daughter has married Beth Lacey.

He

really

went back to the old neighborhood, huh?

Apparently.

All they knew was that she was a cop now
and married to a man named Lacey.

You didn't give him a phone number or
address, did you? No, I gave him

Martin's Bisky.

When I ask about him, she always clams
up.

He told me he left when she was eight
years old.

I don't know much more, Chris.

You know, Harvey, he seemed like a nice
man.

Oh, yeah?

Well, Hitler had a hell of a smile, too.

He came back, Harvey.

After all these years. I wonder what the
guy wants.

He said he wanted to see his daughter.

Oh, is that right?

Where's he been for the last 30 years?

I mean, a man walks out on his family.

What kind of a man is that?

Look, Harvey, he said he wanted Mary
Beth to have this.

He'll be at the Beaumont for a check
-out time Friday.

I'll tell her her father's trying to see
her.

I think she already knows that Harvey...
What?

Said he wrote her three letters.

Sent them to the precinct.

She never told me.

She sent them back unopened.

Moved. No forwarding address.

He had no right to go to you, that
bastard.

He went to the precinct.

He gave this to Chris to give to you.

He's staying there till checkout time
Friday.

Hey, Beth, are you going to ignore this
like you did those letters?

I'll go check the baby and go to bed.
Just tell me why you didn't tell me that

he was writing you.

It didn't interest me.

And I didn't think that it would
interest you.

Come on, baby. Tell him you were not
even curious.

When I was a little kid, I was curious.

I was curious why he left us.

I used to think about it a lot.

And then I stopped.

And I am not going to start again now.

Mary Beth, I hate him for hurting you.

But there is more to consider here.

Not for me. Mary Beth, the man is your
father.

On a piece of paper at some city hall,
maybe.

Nowhere else.

Saturday is a low -occupancy night, so
the hotel encourages West Pointers to

stay here by offering special rates.

What'd you get?

Well, Andrew Brennan registered a loan,
made no phone calls, charged nothing to

his room, and had no visitors.

I thought you said a single room was $55
a night.

Yeah, a weekend special.

Seems you overcharged Mr. Brennan for
his room.

Hey, it happens.

What do you want us to do about it? Have
a refund waiting for him at Rikers

Island?

Let's see the room.

The music was on, very loud. We called
up, nothing.

Knocked on the door, still no answer.

So, I used my passkey.

The police report said the place was in
shambles. The guy was coked to the

gills. Look what he did to this mirror,
huh?

When I come in, he's down on his knees,
trying to gather up all this white

powder off the rug.

Well, the...

Blood test showed no sign of drugs. Is
there a chance that there was someone

else in this room here with him?

Like I said, he registered alone.

That's the only door. So where would
anybody else go?

Out the windows.

Uh -uh.

They're medically sealed.

Could the cocaine have been in here
before the cadet checked in?

Oh, sure.

Some duty. The $500 worth of cocaine
lying around the room. Come on, honey.

long have you been a cop?

The kid's guilty of sin.

Don't call me honey.

Thanks.

That honor code says that a cadet cannot
lie, cheat, or steal. It says nothing

about snorting. I need basil.

Where's your basil? David, you're not
listening to me. I don't have to.

Everything you're saying, you've been
saying. So where the hell do you keep

basil? I would try the spice rack.

Why don't you face the facts and clean
them out?

Most of the time, I end up defending
people who are guilty.

I know it.

The cops know it. The judge knows it.

It's my job to protect their rights.
Only this time, this once, I have a

who I know is innocent, and I want to
prove it.

I'd like to help you prove it.

But the fact is, you have a client who
was caught red -handed. He won't even

defend himself, for God's sake. Oh,
Chris.

Well, you've got nothing going for you,
but...

Family loyalty and some pig -headed
conviction, the kid's clean.

So you think I should give up the case?

I think maybe you should just get away
from it.

Maybe you're right.

How about tomorrow?

We both take the day off.

You and me?

Yeah.

Well, they owe me a few days.

I'll take you to this beautiful place I
know upstate.

I understand why Mr.

Keeler is here to see Cadet Brennan.

I'm not quite so sure why Sergeant
Cagney is here to see his roommate.

Why else would I go to the country?

Excuse me?

It's a background investigation, Major.

I have to tell you I couldn't be more
surprised by the accusation.

Mr. Brennan happens to be one of the
finest cadets we have at the academy.

Mr. Brenner reports his order, sir.

Mr. Redding reports his order, sir.

There's no way that my roommate used
drugs at the academy.

Everything is unlocked and open for
inspection at all times. There is no way

could hide it.

And I don't think Andy used drugs in the
city either.

Not that kind of guy.

Please.

Thank you, ma 'am.

How'd your roommate spend his weekend?

Doesn't talk about himself that much.

But I figured he took a hotel room
instead of going to his grandfather's

used to because he had a girl.

I would have assumed you cadets were
pure of heart and all that.

No, ma 'am. You got us confused with the
Boy Scouts.

See, there's not much we can't do just
as long as we don't lie about it.

I see.

Well, your roommate had a single room.

There goes my girlfriend theory.

Think you might have smuggled her in?

No, ma 'am.

That would be a violation of the honor
code.

It would be stealing.

What about explaining this honor code to
me?

I thought we'd do some skiing while we
were up there. I still don't understand

why we had to come back right away. I
got a hunch.

I checked with the weekend clerk.

The cadet in question did request a
double room.

But there was a mix -up in reservations.

We only had a single available.

Cadet Brennan accepted the single, but
insisted upon paying for a double room.

Why would he do that?

Excuse us just one moment. Thank you.

Remember in college when you paid for
one room and 14 kids would pile in and

sleep on the floor? Yeah, sure.

Well, cadets can't do that. Their honor
code won't allow it.

If you pay for a room for one, only one
person can sleep in it. If a second

person sleeps in it without paying, that
is stealing.

Andrew Brennan paid extra for the room
because someone was going to spend the

night with him.

So now you think he's innocent.

I think there's a chance.

I don't play my records half as loud as
she cries.

I will be the judge of what is too loud
in this house. Both of you screaming is

too loud.

Hey, open up, it's me. Don't answer the
door for your father.

This is not the way the hunters were met
by the gatherers, I'll tell you that.

The who?

Hunters and the gatherers. Haven't you
ever heard of them? They're a rock group

from the 50s, am I right?

Excuse me, I'll get it.

Hello. Hi, Art. Hi, Chris.

How you doing?

Is she in?

I'm sorry, Chris. She's not at home.

She's making a salad and you're about to
sit down to dinner, right?

Hey, you're good.

You're very good, Chris.

Thursday. Yes.

Can I trust her with a gun?

Well, if not, it's been nice knowing
you, Chris.

It's at its moment.

Goodbye, Harv.

I don't like doing that.

Why does Muriel buy croutons?

Nobody here eats croutons.

So tell her.

I'll tell her.

What kept you tonight?

I... Just thought I'd stop off and buy
some champagne.

What's the occasion?

Sit down, babe.

You, uh, remember the bit I did for
Garibaldi?

Yes. Yes.

Saratoga Springs, here I come.

That's fantastic.

I got it. Oh.

I got it, honey.

We got it. I'm so proud of you. We got
it.

That's a barn transformed into a mall.

Move over. Frank Lloyd wants his name
right.

Right, yeah.

I got to leave tomorrow. I got to get a
subcontractor, a crew.

Tomorrow? Yeah.

I won't even be gone for a couple of
days.

Tomorrow? Yeah.

Mary Beth, it was you who wanted me to
go after this job in the first place.

Yeah. So?

So it means more money towards a down
payment on a house.

It also means that you'll be away from
home a lot.

Yeah. My mother will be here. I'm not
talking about your mother, Harvey. I'm

talking about you.

Well, I'll be gone two, three days a
week for three months, maybe four.

Well, why don't you just move there,
Harvey? Save yourself the travel fare. I

wouldn't want you having a wife and
family interfering with your plans. My

plans? You want to eat before you go? Or
you have to run?

Since when is it my plans?

Look, I don't have to go till tomorrow
morning.

Oh, you have time for both dinner and
breakfast?

Aren't we lucky.

You mad, Mary Beth? You're not mad at
me. How about French? You're angry at

father. And I am not going to take the
rap. Who asked you to?

You want to call the boys for dinner?

Yeah. You know, it might be nice for
them to have something they never had. A

grandfather, I mean. Dad, don't you dare
tell them about him. Why don't you at

least find out why he left like he did?

If I wanted to find out more about
disappearing acts, I could read about

Houdini. Good, then don't talk to him.
Stay angry the rest of your life. But

it's hurting you more than it's hurting
him.

Harvey!

I am not about to dismiss a dead -bang
case just because some jerk overpaid his

hotel bill. Come on. Even if it means
ruining a kid's life?

Cocaine ruined this kid's life. Look,
all I'm doing is my job, which is

prosecuting drug offenders.

And getting a whole lot of publicity for
it, too, huh, Strickland? Some

headline, cocaine cadet snowed in at
West Point. My favorite was the Tudor

saluter. Yeah, that was unfortunate.

It was.

Not to somebody whose eye is on the
borough council seat, huh, Strickland?

Ignore that.

I'll give you one more chance at a plea
bargain.

Cadet Brennan is protecting somebody.

Look, you two think he's innocent. I
think he's guilty.

We'll see what the jury thinks.

Hey, wait a minute.

What? We get you proof positive that
someone else owned the cocaine. Will you

drop the charges?

I want proof positive that someone else
in tow.

Fine.

Is there any reason your grandson
wouldn't want you to meet someone he's

Could it be someone of whom he thinks
you might disapprove?

Not Andrew.

Maybe he's embarrassed.

Or doesn't want to embarrass you.

You mean, is he seeing a married lady?

Or is he a homosexual?

No.

Andrew was brought up with the strictest
sense of what's acceptable.

In my family, anyway. Which leaves us as
confused as I am. He never kept any

secrets from me.

that I've known of anyway.

But maybe that's what secrets are all
about.

If I can do anything more for you, Bob,
please call if anything happens.

Sergeant Major?

Cadets don't have private phones in
their room. So if anyone needs to make

-distance phone calls, they have to use
a telephone credit card.

Yeah? So what's the point, Cagney?

Well, if Brennan's been seeing someone
for four months, Lieutenant, you know

we've called her. So I thought if we
subpoenaed the records, then by process

elimination, we could figure out who she
is.

Let me see if I got this straight,
Captain. All right?

This isn't in your case, and in your
spare time, you're aiding the defense.

Let me explain that.

Well, macrame didn't interest me.

All right, okay.

I'll give you your subpoena.

But, you know, if you've got this much
spare time on your hands, Kaki, maybe I

ought to partner you with Kyvie and put
you on the Benita case.

Lieutenant, no.

Unless, of course, Lacey's coming back.

You look great.

Thank you, Mark.

Well, do the things look pretty much the
same around here?

I was happy to see that Quinella thing
off the wall.

You don't happen to know who won, do
you, Victor?

Did you miss me?

I did, actually.

Didn't I tell you how wonderful it was
to have a daughter? Over and over again.

And you were right every time.

I think it was Samuel. He says he
doesn't bet. Maybe he didn't. He won.

It's got to be someone who's real cheap.

Who hates to lend money?

You do.

Maybe somebody ripped you guys off?

Welcome back.

Thank you.

Have my gun and my shield.

Very good. I believe they're locked in
your desk drawer, Sergeant.

If you would let me explain to you...
Thank you for safeguarding my things.

I should have come to you directly.

You got that right.

But I went to Harvey, Mary Beth, because
I didn't know what to say to you.

I knew what I would say to you, but I
also knew what you would say back, or

you wouldn't say.

You finished?

Because I don't want to be late for the
firing range.

Here. She acts like me.

You're not even curious? I can't hear
you!

Don't you want to know what he looks
like?

Want to know what he does for a living?

What, he asks about you? Not interested.

The hell you're not. You're dying to
know.

I'm here to be qualified, not analyzed,
Christine.

Go ahead.

Block out the world.

Pretend you don't care. I know you do.

You had more information on the baby
Quinella than anyone else.

At least she's doctor.

Excuse me, Inspector.

Yes, can we talk, too?

Conan,

that new watch of yours is a beauty.

You like it?

Waterproof, shockproof, costs a mere
$435.

What'd you do with the leftover 15
bucks?

I promised I'd run fair and square.

If only it didn't look good.

So what was I supposed to do?

I have to keep the gloatings to myself
all sort of way. That does it, Coleman.

That is the last time I ever enter one
of your pools.

Want a bet?

I'll take 20.

I

picked

these up at lunch today.

Thank you.

Picture of the three kids is great.

In the family portrait, I'm going to say
excellent.

What do I owe you?

Nothing.

It's a present.

I don't want a present.

You can't always have what it is you
want.

You developed the ones of her crying,
too, huh?

Look, I know that in time you're going
to forgive me, my dear.

What's it going to take for you to
forgive him?

My mother used to forgive him.

And every time she did, he gave her
something else to forgive him for.

When he ran out on her, he did us both a
favor.

Look, I know talking to him would be
hard. Good luck with your cadet,

Mary Beth, if father walks away empty,
you may never hear from him again.

That would be nice.

Oh, you don't mean that. Don't tell me
what I mean!

After he left, my mother went to work.

And she was gone when I got up.

And she was getting home when I was
going to bed.

Weekends.

She was so tired, I would give her
breakfast, I'd rub her back.

I used to read to her.

I wanted to make her life a little
easier.

I couldn't make it better.

Is not seeing him going to make it
better for her?

Or you?

Mary Beth, when we're kids, we make up
our mind about people.

But sometimes later on we've realized
that maybe we made up our minds too

I mean, as kids we thought we knew
everything.

But we didn't.

Thank you for the pictures.

Look, you don't have to like him. You
don't even have to forgive him.

Why not see him, talk to him?

Because he doesn't deserve it.

Sometimes you... You don't get a second
chance.

Mom, mom, I can't get this. It'll look
like this.

Uh, your father will be back tomorrow
night. Can I wait till then?

I guess so.

Mom, is dad going to be away a lot?

A few days a week for a few months.

That's all.

But what if we need a man around and
he's not here?

What, you mean like if, uh, we blow a
fuse or something?

Mm -hmm.

Well, we could always call the super.

Or your father.

Let's sit down.

You were listening when you shouldn't
have been listening, huh?

Mm -hmm.

Mom, is Dad coming back?

Of course.

Why would you think he wouldn't?

Your dad didn't.

Oh, Michael.

This is not the same thing at all.

Your father has gone to do a job so that
we can maybe someday have a house.

He's thinking about us.

My father went away and never came back
because he was the sort of person that

thought only about himself.

Your father's not like that.

I bet you think it'd be maybe neat to
have a grandfather, huh?

You deserve a better one than him.

See, what my father did, walking out on
us, I feel that that...

Is unforgivable.

So you don't want to see him or speak to
him again?

That's right.

I hope I never do anything that's
unforgivable.

Oh, baby.

You could never do anything that I
wouldn't be able to forgive you for.

You're my son.

But he's your dad.

Well,

I have the phone number.

She lives at the Clara Barton Residence
for Women on 10th Street. And in the

past three months, you have called there
35 times.

Now, if I have to, I can talk to every
one of the 60 women who live there. It

can't be that hard to find out which
one's been dating a cadet.

Look, Andy, I'm going to find the girl,
and I'm going to get you out of this

mess whether you want it or not, so why
don't you just give me the name, okay?

at 4 .30 this morning and drive 50 miles
to talk to some stubborn kid who's

staying silent because of some outmoded
sense of chivalry.

Is that what it is?

Outmoded? You're damn right that's what
it is.

Then why are you protecting her?

That's what a man does for the woman he
loves.

Are you going to give up your entire
career for some cokehead?

Haven't you ever had anyone who loved
you enough to give up everything for

You're living in another century.

Are you all that happy with this one?

I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, the maid in the hotel described

you. She loves the ballet. She can
always tell a dancer by the way she

Please leave.

I think the two of you had a fight in
the hotel room that night because you

wouldn't give up the cocaine. Of course,
nobody could hear it because the music

was so loud. Look, I've got a
performance to prepare for. The coke

Now, maybe he knocked it out of your
hand.

But you took off before the hotel
security arrived.

And how am I doing?

I don't have to talk to you.

Well, Susan, I checked you out.

You've already got two priors.

Think you can get off on probation
again?

You can't prove anything.

A conviction will ruin his career.

Don't you care about Andy?

I loved him.

He said he loved me, but not enough.

Take me home and meet his grandfather.

I was afraid what he'd say.

He hurt you, so you're hurting him.

All he'll get is suspended sentence. He
will get expelled from West Point.

Do you know what that'll do to him?

He'll be ashamed of himself.

Like he's ashamed of me.

pin anything definite on the girlfriend,
right?

I doubt it. Nobody noticed her.

And the cadet won't talk.

So that's it, huh?

I'm supposed to give up on a dead -bang
win for a walk.

And the knowledge that you're doing the
right thing and not prosecuting an

innocent man.

How will that get me?

Oh, I get it.

You've already started holding your
press interviews, haven't you,

Let me get you a position.

Down with leniency on recreational
drugs.

No one's above the law. I'm afraid
you're going to look like a fool if you

go of the case, Ryan.

I'm not worried.

Well, you should be, because you're
going to look even more like a fool if a

detective sergeant from the NYPD gets on
the stand and starts testifying on

behalf of the defense.

Where would your dead -bang case be
then?

For your political future.

Let me remind you, Detective Sergeant
Cagney, you have no official

in this case. It's outside the 14th
Precinct.

And let me remind you, Counselor, that
any police officer may be subpoenaed by

any attorney for any case of which he
has knowledge.

Don't you two have someone else to
harass?

No.

All right, you win. I dropped the damn
case.

Looked as good for you as it was for me.

I hope you enjoyed your visit, Mr.
Zabriskie.

Thanks, Eddie. It's nice.

It's... It's a biscuit.

It's a biscuit. It's a biscuit.

Right, sir.

Your bill is all ready, sir. All you
have to do is sign it.

Thanks. Appreciate it, Eddie.

Maybe you'll remember next time.

Thank you, sir. I sure will.

Mary Beth.

Mary Beth!

No.

Mary Beth, please.

Please.

You look so much like your mother. It
startled me.

I bet you didn't know who I was, huh?

Well, I'm a little older than you
remember.

This is just so you can be sure.

It's my business card.

You look a lot older.

Very beautiful.

You're the image of your mother.

Would you like to go somewhere?

We could get some lunch.

I promise I won't ask you to eat your
vegetables or green food, as you used to

call it.

You're leaving. I wouldn't want to hold
you up. No.

Why do you think I came here?

I have no idea.

Wait, Beth.

Your mother and I, we were young.

I didn't know what I wanted.

I kept messing up.

I couldn't handle responsibility. I
couldn't accept it.

And a wife and a kid at 19?

Anybody's father.

Bad timing, huh?

And bad character.

But it's better now.

I want you to know that. I have no
intention of getting to know you, okay?

Please, I'm your father.

We're family. No, we're related, is all.

Family's not what you're born into.

Family's what you make of it.

Family is what you didn't have time for.

I do now. I don't.

Please.

All right.

Would you do one thing for me?

Would you just tell me about my
grandchild?

As the lieutenant said, you were on
maternity leave.

My husband and I have three children,
Harvey Jr., Michael, and Alice.

Alice.

That would have made her happy.

How the hell do you know what would have
made her happy? Hey, Beth.

She told me that she knew she could
never love anybody else.

She didn't even want to try.

A whole lot of women wasted waiting for
a memory to come back.

Not me.

I don't know you.

I can't remember loving you.

I loved him so much.

And I missed him so much.

I didn't know where he was.

And I went to ask my mother, and she
didn't want to talk about it.

She never wanted to talk about him.

It made her cry.

And we know what happened when she
cried.

You okay, babe?

Yes.

You sound injured.

I'm not forgiving him, Hawk.

I'm not.

I know. I know.

I'm never leaving him, are you, Beth?

I know.

Thank you, Hawk.
