I'll have a blue Christmas

without you.

I'll be so blue just thinking

about you.

Decorations of blue.

You can't sing a sad song at a Christmas
pageant that's supposed to be happy.

Holidays aren't merry for everybody.
It's the loneliest time of year. So call

escort service and don't bother us.

It's that kind of insensitivity that
compounds the melancholy.

It's not your pageant. I get to sing the
song I want.

Would you keep it down, please?

Oh, honey, is your head still hurting?

I feel a little dizzy. Have a jolly,
jolly Christmas.

It's the best time of the year.

Ah, good.

That's the police telling us to quiet
down.

Hey.

Hey. I'm looking for Carter.

Carter? Right here. Somebody dead?

Uh, yeah.

Heart attack. ER. Doctor already
pronounced.

Suspicious fall play?

No. Simple cardiac arrest.

We don't need you for anything official.

Why do you want it?

Well, uh... I'm sorry.

It was your mother.

Hi, Mom.

Well, you'd usually find a way to ruin
Christmas.

Carter?

Lyman?

I came as soon as I heard.

into cardiac arrest while watching TV.

Hi, Mom.

You know, she'd usually find a way to
ruin Christmas.

Yeah.

She's dead, Lyman.

We don't have any parents left.

Well... Gotta find out how.

Better get to work.

What do you mean, get to work?

I got a lot to do.

Toxicology, dissection, internal
examination.

You're gonna autopsy Mom?

Of course. This is a suspicious death.
What's suspicious? She had heart

It could just look that way. You're not
cutting up Mom.

Lyman, I'm chief pathologist. It's my
job.

I've been a pathologist longer than you
have. This is natural causes. You have

no jurisdiction here.

No. What's wrong with you? You're
interfering with an official

I'm interfering with a certified nut.

What kind of a pathologist has a piano
in his cutting room?

That's to practice for the Christmas. If
you want to embark on one of your

postmortems... Stop interfering.

If anybody's going to autopsy, Mom, it's
going to be me.

I'm the medical examiner of Hogan
County. This is my case. You get out.

If you so much as make one incision, I
swear I'll have your license.

Get out.

We'll see about this.

Emergency. Rome High School. We're on
it.

Come on, Ricky. Come on now. Put that
thing down. No!

Shut up!

What happened? Take care of the kids.
Crazy. Tie her to a tree. Stay back.

Ricky, put the flagpole down. Get away!

She's my angel.

She's my angel.

Don't take another step closer to my
angel. He keeps calling her his angel.

Ricky. Away in a manger, no bread for
us.

Show and tell is over. Kenny.

You've got a flagpole.

I've got a gun.

Shut up!

See the star, Ricky?

I never miss what I shoot at, Ricky.

Kenny. You don't want me shooting at
you.

Hey, look what you did.

You did to me.

Put down the pole now.

They're waiting for him. He didn't know
it was Frank.

Bernice, you fainted from fear, but
you're just fine to go back to school.

And you, you, you're going home to bed.
You have the flu. I'm fine.

You're not fine. Your temperature is
100.

You're going to bed.

I'll phone in.

Bed rest.

Don't answer his calls, Max.

Bye.

Oh,

I should have seen this last night.
Thank you.

What about the Welsh kid? Has he got the
flu?

No, it's more like crack.

Crack?

Crack cocaine?

In Rome, Wisconsin.

Hospital confirmed it.

Cocaine in his bloodstream.

You have to act, Kenny, fast.

We'll question Mickey Welsh as soon as
he gets released. Not enough.

The parents are going to go wild.

We have to do something proactive to
show the people that we're responding.

Well, I'll talk to Jimmy and see what he
says.

Problem is now.

You're the acting sheriff.

This panic could spread like a brush
fire. We must act now.

An injunction. I want an injunction.

Hold on.

Do you have a lawyer?

I did two years of law school. I can
bring legal motions if I want to. I'm

to miss Hanukkah. Quiet.

Your Honor, it was cardiac arrest. It
was natural causes. And I don't want him

getting knife happy with my mother.
She's my mother, too, and I'm a better

pathologist than you.

But a state cathologist of the year
survived.

Two years running over you. Ask him
about the piano, Judge. He's a wacko.

up. My county, my autopsy, my mother,
and she wanted me making these

This is Hogan County.

It's Carter's official call if he wants
to dissect his mother. Thank you, Doug.

Shut up, everybody.

If Carter wants to do an autopsy, I
suppose that's his official right. Over

objection of family?

He is family. So are you. And since you
are also a pathologist, my ruling is

this. You can both do the examination.

Now, get out.

Good afternoon,

boys and girls. If you have information
there is cocaine in this building, we're

here to find it.

Hey, that's mine.

Public property.

Take another step forward, you go to
jail.

Nothing here.

That's mine.

Open.

Ring. Good. Next.

LSD.

Can anybody tell me where Lisa finished?

Here.

Arrest her, Max.

All right, keep going.

All right, get out of the way.

You have the right to remain silent.

Give up that right.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

A drug sweep at school?

They just charged right in, busting open
lockers. That has to be

unconstitutional. This just happened?

First they broke open my locker and
searched it, and then Lisa's.

I'll talk to them.

And, um, Dad, in Lisa's, they found
some...

They found some, you know, drugs.

I beg your pardon?

There was some LSD.

What was your best friend doing with
LSD?

I just got it to try, that's all. I
mean, all the kids are doing it. I

maybe just once.

It was more than just one try there,
Lisa. There were four or five hits on

paper. But I wasn't going to take it
all.

I mean, that's why I brought it to
school for the other kids.

I wasn't going to take it all.

You were going to sell it?

Well, just to get my money back. I mean,
the guy sold me too much stuff.

Who? What guy?

I don't know. I mean, I don't know his
name.

Do we have to tell my parents?

Don't worry about your parents.

You'd better get yourself a lawyer.

I told you I don't want a lawyer.

I'll do anything, okay? I'll plead
guilty.

I just don't want my parents to find
out. They're going to find out, Lisa.

You're in a lot of trouble.

What are you doing?

Thoracic abdominal.

I wanted that incision.

Get the xiphoid. Well, I like the
sternum, too. I start there, go down to

pubis, I get a rib. What do you want me
to do, probe for dandruff? She's my

mother, too, you know.

I'm in charge here. Just stick to the
esophagus. There's plenty there.

When it's time for the thoracic, then we
can both... Whoa.

What? What?

Come here, quick.

Pfizer. Right there, just above the
kneecap.

Dried fluid. Look close.

Steven!

I'm prosecuting it.

No question.

As a felony?

If this was a federal bus, she'd get a
10 -year mandatory sentence.

10 years?

Killers don't do 10 years.

Well, in the eyes of the federal law,
drug dealers in school are worse than

killers. And if she brings drugs... Hey,
she's not a drug dealer.

She's a good kid who made a mistake.
That's it. Let me tell you something,

Sheriff. Possession with intent makes
her a drug dealer.

Now, I don't have the discretion to kick
this thing, even if I wanted to, which

I don't.

Who told you to raid the school?

I was the acting sheriff. We had a
problem, I responded.

I'm out for one day with the flu and you
feel you gotta respond.

We found cocaine in 12 lockers,
marijuana in six.

That search was way overdue. Uh -huh.

Well, I'm back now.

I found semen on my mother.

Carter, will you quiet down? I won't
quiet down. My mother has been murdered.

She wasn't murdered.

What are you talking about? I don't
think it was a simple heart attack.

Wally Pendleton made love to her and
intercoursed her into cardiac arrest.

I want him charged with murder. Okay,
slow down.

What is going on? My brother's losing
his mind. I want this man off the case.

Carter. She was on a date with Wally
Pendleton. We know that. He called the

house to make sure that she got home
safely. When she didn't answer the

he called us.

Well, he slept with her.

Tell him Lyman found semen.

That doesn't make the guy a murderer.

Death by suspicious causes. That's my
official report.

Look, I'll talk to Wally, all right?

Meanwhile, concentrate on making some
funeral arrangements. She was murdered.

I'm not burying her. She wasn't
murdered.

Daddy, can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, honey, in my office.

All right, give me your reports. I'll
review them.

And you, don't go around yelling murder.
You got that?

What's up, honey?

Please don't prosecute Lisa.

She was planning to distribute LSD,
Kimberly.

She just bought it off this guy to
experiment.

She didn't know how much there was. She
didn't buy it to sell it to other kids.

identify the man who sold it to her?

No.

He just came up to her in the parking
lot at Fenton's Mall.

She doesn't know who he is.

I don't know what to tell you, honey.

Daddy, she's my best friend.

And I know...

I know I can't expect favors because my
father's the sheriff.

But I've never asked for special
treatment, not once.

I'm asking for it now.

I can't do that.

Please.

I asked the court to consider my motion
to suppress all evidence.

The despicable search of the school
lockers... Students are warned that

lockers can be searched. They therefore
have no expectation of privacy.

This was a warrantless Fourth Amendment
violation.

Motion denied.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has spoken
on this. The lockers can be searched.

The confession was also illegal. Now, my
client... Waves counsel.

She's 18. She had the capacity to wave,
and she did.

Her statement is allowed.

Well, why don't you execute her right
here in this courtroom?

Warm bow, please.

She's just a kid. She was intimidated by
the police.

She didn't know what she was saying.

She's of adult age. The case stands.

Probable cause hearing tomorrow at 10.

Defendants released. O .R. adjourned.

Carter's driving the lab crazy, trying
to prove somebody killed his mother.

check out Wally Pendleton just to
satisfy Carter.

It's a sad day when any of our youth are
arrested on drug charges.

We nevertheless have to applaud the
quick action of our acting sheriff,

Lacos. As soon as the threat of drugs in
our schools became real, he responded.

It's this kind of fast action that is
sorely needed in our community.

It's not like it was crack or ice.

LSD can be even more harmful, Kimberly.

But it's not addictive.

Have you ever tried it?

No, but it's all over, Mom.

It only cost like $3, and it's supposed
to be amazing.

It can leave you in a permanent
psychotic state even one time, and you

permanent psychological effects.

Promise me you will never try it.

I was going to try it.

I was with Lisa when she... Um...

We bought the LSD together.

It could have just as easily have been
in my locker.

Does anybody else know about this?

No. Just me and Lisa.

All right, look, we don't tell anybody.

Not even Dad?

No.

I mean, I'm sure that your father
wouldn't turn in his own daughter, but

don't know.

I'm sure that he wouldn't have you
arrested. I'm positive that he wouldn't

you in, but why... But for now, we say
nothing. We say nothing to your

father about you buying drugs.

Okay?

But you get this, young lady.

How dare you?

How dare you? Aside from the utter
stupidity, how dare you risk getting

How dare you risk the embarrassment to
your father? He is the sheriff and he...

And your little brothers, they worship
you.

This family has an obligation to each
member, whether you like it or not. They

look up to you whether you like it or
not. And if they should hear or see that

you... What's that?

Nothing. Kimberly has some questions
about her cycle.

This is a family.

Try not to let your damn teenage selfish
curiosity destroy it.

How can you blame yourself?

I've been practicing this song, Blue
Christmas, for the pageant. It's about

losing somebody right before the
holidays.

Somebody you love more than life.

I don't know, maybe it's some sort of...

Self -fulfilling prophecy.

Maybe I shouldn't have been singing that
song.

Carter, you don't really believe that.

No.

I just hope she knows how much I loved
her. I didn't tell her enough. I hope...

She knew.

Yeah, but three days ago on the phone we
were talking and... What?

Semen analysis back from the lab.

Wally Pendleton isn't who he says he is.

Well, who is he?

Wally Pendleton is a murderer.

What are you doing with that gun?

I have a carry permit.

I'm not just a medical examiner, you
know. I don't care.

I can bear arms. We got test results
back from the lab. The man my mother had

sex with is genetically identified as
Roth Margolis.

What? DNA. The semen analogous trace it
to Ross Margolis. Now, get this. I

discovered it. Let me tell him. He won't
believe you.

Can I go?

No. Okay, here's the thing.

Ross Margolis was wanted for drug
trafficking and five murders in 1988

suddenly vanished.

What do you mean he vanished?

Right off the face of the earth. And
here is a computer picture ID of Ross

Margolis.

Dead ringer for Wally here. This man is
a fugitive and he killed my mother.

Mr. Pendleton, what do you have to say
about this?

Don't I get a phone call?

Maxine arrests the gentleman, then let
him have his phone call.

I didn't kill your mother, Carter. If
he'd murder, he'd lie.

I think we should be deputized on this.
No, I'm not saying another word.

I just feel so guilty saying silent.

And what good would it do if you
confessed? I mean, it wouldn't help me

It'd just mean the two of us going to
jail.

Besides, it was my idea to buy the stuff
anyway.

Do you think I will go to jail?

There's no avoiding it.

That's what I keep telling you. But
she's just a teenager.

Now, I'm not going to let them just send
my little girl to prison without my

trying to do everything I know how to
do. Mrs.

Fenn. No, we do not plead guilty.

They found the drugs in her locker.

She signed a written confession.

If we go to trial, we lose.

I'm not a magician.

So stall.

Drag it out, maybe.

Exactly the opposite.

If we plead guilty now, we can proceed
directly to sentencing.

Our best shot is leniency.

A week before Christmas is the most
lenient time of the year. I'm telling

as her lawyer, we must put this to the
judge today while the wreaths are still

hanging in the courtroom.

And the Christmas carols are in his
head.

FBI. Thank you. Release Wally Pendleton.

Pardon me? As I understand it, there's
no evidence linking him to the death of

the coroner's mother. I want him
released at once.

But there is evidence linking him to
other crimes, including murder.

It's real names. It's Ross Margolis.
Yes, I know that. Mr. Margolis was part

an international drug ring. He is now
part of our federal witness protection

program. He was given the new identity,
Wallace Pendleton, and he has lived

happily under that identity since 1988.

You put him in my town and you didn't
tell me, the sheriff?

We have marshals he checks in with.

How many people has that man killed?

That's not your concern, Sheriff. What's
important?

You put a killer in a community I'm in
charge of protecting it damn well is my

concern. This is a federal program.
You're preempted. The man has killed

And his testimony has put a lot of
people behind bars.

Look, drugs are destroying the country.
We all know it.

Sometimes when a problem gets big
enough, you do whatever you have to to

Including making deals with murderers?

Please release Wally Pendleton.

Lisa Fenn is not a criminal who poses a
risk to society, Your Honor.

We all know that.

No prior record. She's never even gotten
a parking ticket.

She's an honor student.

who made one stupid mistake.

She has a loving family, a good
community, and all her life she

values of this community.

You can read for yourself the glowing
recommendations from 13 different

who are saying that this is a giving,
caring young woman with a bright, bright

future.

She pleads guilty today.

Because she chooses not to lie.

She wants to accept responsibility.

That's her character.

I think that under the circumstances,
community service or perhaps a few

weekends in jail would be a penalty
proportionate with her indiscretion.

She is deeply, deeply sorry, Your Honor.

And we know what prison can do to a
person.

Every ruling you ever made was tempered
by compassion.

For Lisa's sake, please, don't make an
exception today.

An exception is exactly what he's asking
you to make.

If this were a black defendant in a city
court, he'd be going straight to jail

without ever passing go.

Don't make this about race. You made it
about race. Mr. Littleton. I heard the

message in his speech, Your Honor, and
so did you.

Lisa Finn isn't one of those gang
members. She's a nice suburban kid from

family in a nice lily -white town.

Don't politicize this.

Exactly my point. Don't politicize.

Treat this like any other drug case.

Don't give her special treatment because
she's a wonderful honor student who's

sorry. The fact is, Judge, those are not
mitigating factors.

She had a choice.

Now, most teenage drug defendants are
thrown into that world with little or no

choice. They don't have the stable
family, the solid community, the devoted

teachers flanking them with glowing
recommendations.

She's privileged.

Now, the question is, does she get a
lighter sentence because of her

socioeconomic advantage?

You can't give in to that kind of
hypocrisy. He's fighting a different

I'm fighting the war against drugs.

I'm not so sure, Mr. Littleton. Stick to
the facts of this case.

If this were in federal court... Lisa
Fenn would get a 10 -year mandatory

sentence. That's a fact.

We're not in federal court. But we are
subject to the same public policy.

Drugs are invading our schools.

We have not been able to stop it.

A 17 -year -old kid OD'd on crack two
days ago and almost killed his teacher

with a flagpole.

Now something has got to be done.

You're the judge. You have a chance
right now to do something about it.

The kids at Rome Wisconsin High School
are waiting for your message.

So am I.

Now, I have no doubt that Lisa Fenn is a
very nice young woman, but she's also a

convicted drug dealer.

She must go to prison.

I didn't kill your mother.

You've killed before, five times.

That was another life.

Ethel and I were friends. Friends
communicate.

Did you tell my mother about your former
life? I should think not.

You must be Lyman.

She said you'd always ask and answer
your own question.

My mother talked about me?

Both of you, all the time.

With such joy.

What are you doing?

I'm questioning the suspect. No. Blimey.
It's appropriate for a medically

damaged to question suspect.

They don't believe me. Will you let me
do the talking? I have the relationship.

I'll do the talking.

This man had nothing to do with the
death of your mother.

They had sex at his house. Two witnesses
saw her drive away.

Federal witnesses, probably hired by
him. What?

Thank you. Okay, out we go.

Come on.

He even gave Wally a lie detector test.
He passed that, too. Your mother died of

natural causes. There is nothing to
suspect foul play, and you know it.

So let's just put her at peace.

Body's evidence. I won't bury her.
Carter. No.

I'll release Wally Pendleton.

But I'm also releasing his true identity
and his criminal records.

If you do that, he'll be killed.

My job is protecting the people in this
town. One of which is Wally Pendleton.

If you blow his cover, that's a death
sentence.

The mob will expunge him.

He's a dangerous, violent man.

Sheriff, you and I have gone head -to
-head so many times, our minds are bound

to meet at least once.

Not in this one.

The Witness Protection Program
represents a huge federal investment.

If you out this guy, you would
jeopardize federal cooperation with your

every level. Should you need police
equipment, the National Guard, FBI

Is that a threat?

It's the truth.

We need Pendleton for more testimony.

We're about to break a huge cartel in
New Jersey. We can't blow his cover.

Take him out of Rome.

Sheriff, you want me to be quiet? You
take him to a town 100 miles from here.

That's the deal.

Okay, we'll pick him up tonight.

Rise.

Be seated.

70 % of all murders are drug -related.

We have 100 ,000 crack babies born every
year.

Drugs have driven up violence, health
care costs.

They've economically crippled every...

Major city in the nation.

So desperate are we to stop it.

We make plea bargains, freeing murderers
if they can offer testimony to help

stem the tide.

So desperate are we to stop it.

Federal law gives life sentences to
first -time drug offenders.

So desperate are we to stop it.

We keep building prison after prison
after prison.

We have over a million people behind
bars.

More prisoners per capita than any
country in the world.

So desperate are we to stop it.

But we can't.

It keeps spreading.

And now it's come to Rome.

On your feet, young lady.

If my mission were solely to be
safeguarding this community, I'd put you

for a long, long time.

Mr. Littleton is right.

Society is desensitized to the
incarceration of black inner -city

A pretty, suburban, honor student.

Such as yourself.

With a bright, bright future.

I could send quite a message.

And I'm tempted.

But my job is to consider the specific
case before me and all the mitigating

circumstances.

Your clean record.

Your plea.

Your exemplary background and past.

And I do so.

I must also consider, however...

The fact that you brought those drugs to
a school with intent to distribute.

That means enhancer penalties apply.

I hereby sentence you to three years at
the Cheetah Women's

Correctional Facility.

Your Honor, I beg you.

sentenced to begin immediately.

Take the defendant into custody.

Excuse me, Your Honor, but this matter
has come to the attention of the DEA. I

have been ordered to place Miss Fenn
under arrest and to take her into

custody. No!

Lawyers and police in chambers.

This is overkill.

It comes from the top. I have absolutely
no control. If you prosecute her in the

federal court, she goes away for ten
years.

That's mandatory.

I know that. Ten years.

My God, that's her life. How could that
possibly serve society?

It doesn't. Like they say, the Fen girl
is ideal for sending a wake -up call to

other teenagers.

My superiors want to make that call.

Three years sends that message.

Why don't you ask your superiors?

How can they take Lisa Fen for ten when
murderers get out in six?

What's the federal government's answer
to that?

Public policy.

What?

I'm gonna be sick.

At least, can she spend Christmas with
her family?

No. They want her in custody tonight.

I'll give her till 10 o 'clock. That's
the best that we can do.

I can't send her to the mortuary.

Carter, let her go.

Can't you see you're doing everything
you can to avoid grieving? I've been

it too.

Time has come to grieve.

She was my strength, Lyman.

She stood up for me.

I'll stand up for you.

You were a good older brother. I know

how you always got me included.

Camping trips.

Made sure I always got picked for the
team.

But you never believed in me. Mom did.

I believe in you.

You know, I always wanted to be you.

Followed you to the same college, went
into pathology.

What I'm saying, Lyman, is that I
admired you, and

I've always looked for the slightest
sign that you admire me back.

I've never seen it.

Did you ever doubt that I love you?

No.

But... Mom... gave me my foundation.

And now... No offense, but...

I feel completely alone.

We'll make it, Carter.

We're brothers.

We'll make it.

Yeah.

Hi. Hi, hon.

What, uh... Kimberly wanted to say
goodbye to Lisa, so I brought her in.

Oh, God.

What if it had been Kimberly instead of
Lisa? You ever think of that?

They're here.

Get Pendleton, too. We'll take them
both.

Well, what a proud day for law and
order.

Wally Pendleton had a million -dollar
drug business, and you give him house

home. Lisa Fenn makes one mistake, and
she gets ten years.

I'll fight it to Supreme Court.

I won't give up, Lisa.

Ah, Inspector.

Allow me to vomit on your shoes.

All right.

Let's go.

I'll visit tomorrow.

Yeah, we'll be fighting, baby.

Okay. Yeah.

Isn't goodbye?

Okay. We better go.

I'm afraid there's been a mistake.

In reconsidering, Lisa's confession was
the product of coercion. It was wrong of

us to question her without her lawyer.
She waived counsel.

Under duress.

Without the confession, the guilty plea
is set aside.

And if you federally prosecute her, I'll
testify that her statement was coerced.

Very good Except we really don't need
the confession or the state conviction.

The drugs were found in her locker.
That's enough to make the case Except I

the evidence You lost the evidence

Yes, we it was my fault

See, I took the LSD out of the locker to
send to the lab, and I put it in a bag

on my desk. And I threw it away, not
knowing what it was.

Well, isn't this inspiring?

Sometimes, if a problem gets too big,
you do whatever you have to to fix it.

Well, mistakes happen. One of those
things.

I'm sure we'll all do better next time.

Miss Fenn?

I'm afraid we're going to have to let
you go.

Come on.

Why, you people are something.

Thank you.

Thank you, everybody.

Now it feels like Hanukkah.

Hey!

What happened here was a complete...
complete perversion of justice.

Don't you dare celebrate it.

Any of you.

You lucked out, young lady.

This man saved your ass.

The idea that you get to walk completely
free is disgusting to me, as I'm sure

it is to him.

And him.

But... Ten years in federal prison
happens to be more repugnant.

So you get a windfall.

When you wake up Christmas morning, Miss
Finn, remember how lucky you are to be

with your family.

Remember, in reality, you're a drug
dealer.

And especially remember that you forced
a lot of good, law -abiding

people to resort...

to organized anarchy.

Don't any of you dare celebrate.

without you I'll be so blue

thinking about you

Decorations of red

on a green Christmas tree

won't be the same dear

And when those blue snowflakes start

falling, that's when those blue

mammies start calling.
