0:01:12 > 0:01:14Dammit!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Who invented these stupid things anyway?!- Not me.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- 21 minutes to - we're gonna be late.- Why am I out of hose?!
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I don't know. What's up? You've been crazy all week.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Every time I put one of these things on, I put my foot right through it!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Ow! Dammit!- What?- Ow!
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Let me see it! Have you got a Band-Aid? I'll get a Band-Aid.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Where is it? - In the medicine cabinet!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Get ready! Judge Burns will hold us in contempt.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47I'll tell him about my morning - plead insanity.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53- The hot water went out in the middle of my shower, conditioner on my hair, then...- You lose a nail.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Ow! Then I broke my coffee cup, all over my brand-new Italian suit!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02This new miracle cleaning fluid left a ring, probably permanent,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06and I don't even own a pair of stockings a hooker would wear.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Right here, take these. Let's go.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- No, those are wet... - 19 minutes, Christine!- All right.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15All right. Wait. Wait a minute.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Oh, wait.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Wait. OK.
0:02:32 > 0:02:39- These things are still soaking wet. - You wanna rehearse with me? You know how rattled I get in court.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Yeah, OK.- You're the Assistant DA. - Mr Wonderful himself!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Detective Lacey, drawing your attention to the day in question,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51under what circumstances did you first see Mr George Poulianakis?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- I first saw Mr Poulian...Pouli... What is it?- Poulianakis.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Poulianakis, Poulianakis. Let me start again, OK?- OK.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- I first saw the victim... - No, objection.
0:03:02 > 0:03:09I'm the defence attorney too. He's the alleged victim. Have you ever put on wet pantyhose in a car?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- Sorry. - I first saw the alleged victim when we were called to his house
0:03:14 > 0:03:20some 18 months, 22 days ago on East 20th St. There were prior incidents with Nolan -
0:03:20 > 0:03:27harassment of his tenants to get them to move so that he could turn the place into a co-op.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- No, objection. That is hearsay, motion to strike.- Oh, hearsay.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38Please just answer the question. What did you see when you first went in the apartment building?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Mr Poulianakis's... His door was locked.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- And what did you do? - My partner and I...
0:03:45 > 0:03:51- Well, actually, it was more my partner than me...- Will you just get on with the answer?- Yes, sir.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55We broke his door down. ..Turning here. Hey!
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Please tell the court why you broke down Mr Poulianakis's door.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14OK, we can hear moaning inside, and also there was this woman in there,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Mrs Rose Skimmons, who had informed us... Isn't that hearsay?
0:04:18 > 0:04:24- Just answer the questions, Detective.- Mrs Rose Skimmons... How come this isn't hearsay too?!
0:04:24 > 0:04:30- Not introduced where truth of the matter is certain.- How do you know all this?- I'm asking the questions.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yes, sir. What was the question?
0:04:32 > 0:04:38Give me the keys. I left my briefcase. Why did you break down Mr Poulianakis's door?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Because Mrs Skimmons said that she thought he was injured inside.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- And what did you see when you got in there?- That was very sad...
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Objection.- What? - Prejudicial to my client.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Mr Poulianakis was laying on his bed and he was half-frozen with the cold and he was badly beaten up.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59He couldn't even get up out his bed and go for help, because after Mr...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Wait. OK.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03After...?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07After Mr Nolan beat him up, then he stole Mr Poulianakis's walker...
0:05:07 > 0:05:13- Objection.- What?- Objection! I move for a mistrial.- Wait, Christine! I told you I get rattled in court.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Mary Beth, everybody does. It's like walking through a minefield.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23- YOU don't.- It doesn't matter. We'll get up there, and the defence attorney'll ask for a continuation.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- The judge told him last time this is the last one.- Terrific. Come on.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33If people say to you, "Your cheque's in the mail," you probably believe that. ..Excuse me.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39She's a novelty dancer. She does this French chocolate number. ..Come on, Mick.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43French chocolate, huh? Sounds like a real prize, Victor(!)
0:05:43 > 0:05:48She says to me last night, "Victor, where is this relationship going?"
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- It's a reasonable question.- Don't be a wimp. You know what I said?
0:05:52 > 0:05:57"Let's just see where it goes. No strings, no attachments."
0:05:57 > 0:06:00And you know what she says?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02What does Bon-Bon say, Victor?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06She says she doesn't wanna wind up in three months
0:06:06 > 0:06:10sitting outside the 14th Precinct in a car having the same conversation.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16- Thanks for sharing.- How do we know what'll happen in three months? I could be dead. We ALL could be dead.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- They scheduled the sergeants' examination.- Yeah?
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Lieutenant, did you see this? They scheduled a sergeants' examination in three months.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Yeah. It's great.- About time.- They only give them every four years.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- What's the odds?- It's a long shot, Isbecki, but it's worth it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38You get your 5Gs right off the bat.
0:06:38 > 0:06:425,000 would certainly help Lauren's college education.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45College?! Lauren's not even two.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51- 19 months, 6 days. Have you seen the new picture?- Yeah, you showed that to me already.- I did?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- How about you?- Yeah, you showed it to me yesterday.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- What am I gonna do about Bon-Bon? - Forget Bon-Bon, Victor!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Bye-bye, Bon-Bon.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07You didn't even object! You just rolled over and played dead!
0:07:07 > 0:07:13- Watch it.- She's right, Mr Burke. - Leonard Nolan has been out on bail all this time, laughing at us!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Are you two through ventilating?
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- I'm not any happier about this than you are. - How come you just sat there?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Nolan's lawyers are giving jury instructions in Federal Court.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- That means that we trail till Monday, like it or not. Comprende? - No, I think it stinks! Comprende?
0:07:30 > 0:07:37Nolan's got billion-dollar-a-year lawyers and we get YOU. How in hell do we have a chance with you?!
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Thank you so much(!)
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- She didn't mean anything.- She did. - Don't argue with him.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47But it doesn't bother me. I will beat the posterior off of Nolan's lawyers.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Because I'm incredibly skilful,
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- and George Poulianakis is one of the greatest witness to grace a courtroom.- If he ever gets a chance!
0:07:56 > 0:08:01A face like your favourite grandfather, but a mind like a steel trap.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05They'll look like Attila the Hun if they go after him and I love it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:12- I'm so glad you're happy.- Well, I'm glad that you're glad, but I have one problem.- What is that, sir?
0:08:12 > 0:08:18- Mr Poulianakis did not show up today.- The man is probably sick from all the delays.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24He's a 76-year-old semi-invalid! He's been here 20, 30 times. ..How many? ..20, 30 times!
0:08:24 > 0:08:30- She's getting boring. Please get her home.- Yes, sir.- Get Poulianakis in court on Monday.- Yes, sir.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33He's on our side and he's all we've got!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- We shouldn't go out of our way to antagonise him!- Did you see this?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- I didn't go out of my way! He got in it!- Interesting distinction.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45We don't have to kiss up to him and he doesn't have to like us.
0:08:45 > 0:08:51The press will cover that trial and Mr Wonderful won't do anything to blow his big opportunity.
0:08:51 > 0:08:57- I'm calling Mr Poulianakis to find out why he wasn't there.- Don't take his head off. A little respect.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Thank you, Emily Post(!)
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- Is Cagney acting like a nutcase or what?- She seems all right to me.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Yeah, Mr Poulianakis, please.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22What?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25When?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Uh...I'm sorry.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Hey!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Christine?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Hey, wait up!- Oh, yeah, she's fine. She looks fine to me too(!)- What?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Christine?- Yeah? - CHRISTINE SNIFFS
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Hey, Chris? What is it?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Mr Poulianakis...- What?
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- ..went into a coma three days ago and he died last night.- Oh, Lord!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Oh, Jeez!
0:10:34 > 0:10:40Hey. Hey, Chris. This is very sad about Mr Poulianak...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I never saw you like this before.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49What, it's something else, huh? ..Oh, getting to you all at once?
0:10:49 > 0:10:55- No...- I know what that's like. Look, I know that you don't like to talk about your problems,
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- and I don't like to push, so cry if you want.- No...- It's good for you.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- It's OK, I feel stupid. - Don't be silly. A good cry's sometimes the best thing.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Know those tearjerker movies? I could cry for hours. One time,
0:11:08 > 0:11:13when I was pregnant with Michael, I couldn't stop. I cried for a week.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Poor Harv thought I was miserable, but it was just hormones.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18What?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Oh, Chris, come on. You gotta give me a clue here so I can help you.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- You got a clue.- Hmm? What?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30All I said was hormones. When you're pregnant...
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Pregnant?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Uh-huh.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Pregnant?!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It happens.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52This is... This is unexpected.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Tell me about it!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Who...who...who is the father?
0:11:56 > 0:12:02- Mary Beth, let's not even talk about it, OK...? - Do you know who it is?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Yes, I know who it is!
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- Maybe...maybe I'm not. I'm only a few days late.- How many days?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Two weeks.- Two weeks?! - Don't you yell at me!
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- Have you spoken to the father? - ..No, he's out of town on business.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- There's telephones, Christine. - You said you didn't wanna push!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I am concerned here. Now, who is it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33It's Neil.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Neil Riley? The one with the wife who does not understand him?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- He's divorced.- Since when?
0:12:43 > 0:12:48He was separated when I met him, Mary Beth! I told you and you never listened.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51And what, he got divorced for you, huh?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53No. He just got divorced.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- You always really liked Neil. - Uh-huh.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So this is good.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09- Yeah, it's great(!)- No, I mean it. Maybe it's time that you settled down
0:13:09 > 0:13:14and this...getting pregnant is a sign or something. Oh, it's wonderful!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Mary Beth, those corny movies you watch, they have warped your mind.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22What would be so bad? You're crazy for Neil and good with children...
0:13:22 > 0:13:28- I'm probably not even pregnant. - There you go again with that head in the sand. This won't go away.
0:13:28 > 0:13:35You know, Mary Beth, I will probably get my period today if we just stop talking about it.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39We've got a case going down the tubes. We've gotta go see the D...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I gotta fix my face.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Uh, shoes.- ..Oh, shoes.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Come on, Mary Beth. We have to go to work.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17- Where is he, anyways? - Obviously still in court. They haven't broken for recess yet.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Not the DA!
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Neil Riley.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Hong Kong. Can we drop this?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I'll see you in judges' chambers this afternoon.- Mr Burke.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36- What are you doing here? - George Poulianakis died last night.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38No.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Why now?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Why does everything happen to me?!
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- To YOU? Mr Poulianakis died.- Well, we can kiss that case goodbye.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52That was the defence strategy -
0:14:52 > 0:14:56keep continuing the case until the eyewitness went senile or died.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02- Nice profession(!)- But we still have Mr Poulianakis's transcript, right? From the Grand Jury.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08- We can introduce that at trial, can't we?- Sure. Then the defence lawyers can eat me for breakfast.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- Hm!- No opportunity to cross-examine or observe his demeanour in court.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19He could have been mistaken in his identity - 76 years old, after all, memory problems as we grow older.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Reasonable doubt - not guilty. Kiss it off, Detective.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25"Kiss it off"?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27What do you mean, "Kiss it off"?
0:15:27 > 0:15:33- The minute defence council hears about Poulianakis, they'll ask for dismissal.- And?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- I'm not gonna oppose it. - How did I guess(?)
0:15:37 > 0:15:44- I'm not gonna oppose it to avoid double jeopardy attaching.- I don't understand. What are you saying?
0:15:44 > 0:15:49If we call the trial and lose, that's it. But if I dismiss before the trial starts
0:15:49 > 0:15:55and you police can build me a winnable case, we can re-file the charges against Nolan at that time.
0:15:55 > 0:16:02- And start that continuance business again?- You're worried about losing a big case with the press watching.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- It's much easier to blame the police.- Our business is concluded.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12- Our case is trailing till Monday? If we come up with something then, would you go ahead?- Of course!
0:16:12 > 0:16:19But I need direct evidence, preferably eyewitness testimony by a reliable witness of good character.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Maybe there was a group of nuns in the room!- Get her out of here.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Yes, sir...- No problem with me! - We'll do what we can, sir.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Chris?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Christine Cagney, slow down!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35KNOCK AT DOOR
0:16:46 > 0:16:52- Mrs Skimmons? Uh, we're Detectives Cagney and Lacey. We want to talk to you about Mr Poulianakis.- Oh.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Mind if we come in, ma'am?- No.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Hello.- We were very sorry to hear about your friend, Mrs Skimmons.
0:17:03 > 0:17:09- We know that you and Mr Poulianakis were very close. - Yes. He was a wonderful man.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So full of life, right up to the end.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Would you sit down? BOTH: Thank you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25Just before they took him to the hospital, he brought me a catalogue from the art museum.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28He said we'd go once he got better.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33Of course, he...he never left the hospital. And I...
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I very seldom leave my room any more.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41So much crime these days. Especially against old people.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Walking victims, that's what they say, don't they?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Oh, could I get you some tea?
0:17:47 > 0:17:51No, thank you. ..Chris, do you need anything?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- No, thank you.- Mrs Skimmons, it's been a long time,
0:17:54 > 0:18:00but we'd like you to try and recall anything you may have seen or heard when Mr Poulianakis was assaulted.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05I didn't see or hear ANYTHING. I thought I explained that before.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07We have had a very frustrating day.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11The Assistant DA has told us that unless another witness comes forth,
0:18:11 > 0:18:18he'll throw this out. Mr Nolan, who beat up your friend, won't be brought to justice for that crime.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I can't think it's that serious. You can bear witness
0:18:21 > 0:18:26to what Mr Poulianakis said and the identification he made at your HQ.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30It's just not that simple, Mrs Skimmons.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- Nice and warm in here.- Yes. - Mr Nolan has not been fooling with the boilers?
0:18:35 > 0:18:40No, everything's very well tended. He even painted the halls a few months ago.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Nice guy.- I guess I'm lucky to have this apartment.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50A woman I know, when they changed her place into a co-op, she had nowhere to go.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54I have a roof over my head. I should count my blessings, shouldn't I?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Yes, ma'am.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Oh, that poor woman. She's scared to death of everything.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16Yeah, well, she better get ready. Nolan won't harass his tenants with this court case pending,
0:19:16 > 0:19:22- but as soon as it's settled, he's gonna throw them all out of here. - So where are we?- Nowhere.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- Hey. It's late. You want to pick up on this tomorrow?- Yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- You OK?- Mmm.- Do me a favour, will you? See a doctor or something.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34OK.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40There's laws against shoplifting. I suggest now you've opened that...
0:20:40 > 0:20:43No, please, I'd like to take this.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- It's for a friend.- Hm.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Maybe gift-wrapped.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Here's looking at you, kid.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45"Wait at least three days after a missed period."
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Well, I did that.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55"Add contents of vial to test tube which contains test chemical."
0:23:03 > 0:23:06"First take morning urine...
0:23:06 > 0:23:10"Fir... Take first morning urine.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15"Drop one drop into test tube. Shake vigorously.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17"Place test tube in holder
0:23:17 > 0:23:22"and leave undisturbed for two hours before reading the results."
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Hi.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48DOOR OPENS
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Why aren't you with the doctor? - Mary Beth, it's...
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Ignoring this will not make it go away. You have to be responsible.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04This is a human life - a precious little person - not some boyfriend you can dump when you feel like it!
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Mary Beth!- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to lecture you, but I'm frustrated!
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- I took the test! I guess I'm not. - What do you mean "guess"?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- All right, I'm not.- Oh.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Not pregnant?
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- Well, that's good. Congratulations. - Thanks.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- What? What, you're not happy? - No, I am. I'm...relieved.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35What would I do with a baby, especially under these conditions?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Not...ideal...
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It's just that, um...
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- What?- I don't know.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I'm 38 years old, Mary Beth.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52The biological clock is ticking away here, and I can't stop it.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57If I'm going to have a baby, I have to have one soon or not at all.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03And I think I'd like to have one.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09In the last couple of days, I... I was talking to it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Why is everything so complicated?!
0:25:14 > 0:25:18What is complicated? Get married. Marry Neil and have a baby.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23- I don't want a baby!- What do you want?!- I don't know what I want!
0:25:23 > 0:25:27I don't want somebody saying, "I can't have"! It's not fair!
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Men choose - 60, 70, 80 years old, they can decide to have families!
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Why do I have to decide now?!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Because that's the way it is.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Come on, we're going to Rikers Island this morning.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Yeah, Anthony Nunzio - that punk that was working for Nolan -
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- he went up for stolen goods.- We are in the middle of something here!
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Talk on the way. I'll be a captive audience, just how you love it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:08- I'm trying to be a friend here, is all. If you're not interested, forget it.- Be a friend later, OK?
0:26:08 > 0:26:13This case'll be dismissed by Monday if we don't get off our behinds.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17My personal dramas can wait. Honest. This case will not.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Come on.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26See, now they're both acting like fruitcakes.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31That's why women live longer than us - they don't keep everything in.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37Actuarially speaking, you could live eight years longer if you let your emotions out, like women do.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- No kidding.- Think - eight more years with Bon-Bon.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46- Bon-Bon's history.- So was Blanche(!) - Who's Blanche? - Meter maid, 6th Avenue.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Hey, she was going to night school, taking up pharmacy.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55All right, let's do some business.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57So...
0:26:58 > 0:27:05..your group calls itself The Vermin and you say that on Sunday somebody stole your mother's van?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Why should I talk to you? I know my rights.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17You should talk to us cos you were stupid enough to get collared again
0:27:17 > 0:27:21which makes you...sort of an idiot
0:27:21 > 0:27:25and a prime candidate for the Persistent Felons Programme.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- So you think this is news to me? - No. That was just the bad news.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34The good news is you'll be eligible for Medicare when you get out.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Mr Nunzio, you testified that you were not present
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- on the day of Mr Poulianakis' assault.- Yeah.
0:27:42 > 0:27:48You said, quote, "Nolan handled it. He said he was better with people.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51"So Mickey and I just did some jobs for him -
0:27:51 > 0:27:55"busting up the boiler, tearing down some mailboxes..." unquote.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Uh...
0:28:04 > 0:28:09If I change my mind, are you saying you'd help me out on a slim brief?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- No, what we are saying... - It's possible...
0:28:13 > 0:28:15..depending on what you do for us.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18So, like, what do you need?
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Uh...
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Actually, that's wrong. I WAS there when Nolan beat up the old guy.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35See, I didn't know he was going to do it,
0:28:35 > 0:28:40and then after he started, I asked him to stop.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Nolan... is not a guy you want to mess with.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49So I was afraid... to say all this...
0:28:49 > 0:28:51before...
0:28:54 > 0:28:55That's good.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Would you be willing to testify to that in court?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Sure. When?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- We'll talk.- OK.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Yeah? Now we're perjuring evidence!
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- What are you doing?! - What are YOU doing?!
0:29:21 > 0:29:28- I want to know what you are doing. - I am making a phone call, a personal phone call.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I told you I would not call the DA until we discussed it tomorrow.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34OK. Sorry.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Uh, yeah, Neil Reilly, please.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Christine Cagney calling.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Oh, um, I thought he was due back today.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02I see. That's all right. No, no message.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31It's this damn case, Mary Beth. I just hate it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Remember when we first collared Nolan?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Dory McKenna...
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I really loved that man. I did,
0:30:43 > 0:30:47but he was more interested in white powder than in me, and now...
0:30:47 > 0:30:52- Neil Reilly?- His secretary says he's out of town.- And he's not?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I don't know. He probably is.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01- Well, what's the problem? - Because I thought she was lying.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Oh.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06It made me... I got so embarrassed.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Possessive...
0:31:08 > 0:31:13- Well, it happens.- But I hate being embarrassed! I just hate it.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Don't tell me - Christine Cagney has experienced a human emotion(!)
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Quick, pick up the rug and sweep it under again.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I gotta go.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- You want to have dinner with me? - I'm having dinner with Charlie.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35- Oh, nice!- I'll see you tomorrow. - Say hi to your dad for me.- I will.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49No, honest, Dad, it's OK.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I do... No, I do understand.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56It wasn't even a big deal, honest. I just wanted to talk to you,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59look at your face...
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Yeah, OK. No, next week's good.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05And put a buck in the slot machine for me, OK?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08All right. Bye, Charlie.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17"Section 26501 of the Penal Law - possession of a kung-fu star
0:32:17 > 0:32:21"is criminal possession of a weapon, a Class-A misdemeanour."
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- Now, did you know that, Marcus?- Yes.
0:32:24 > 0:32:31- What about a 170.02?- Divestiture of jurisdiction by indictment.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- What about the old 180.45? - Sports bribes, receiving.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Felony or misdemeanour? - Felony, Class E.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45You know your problem, Marcus? You study too much.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51You're going to turn into one of those hunched old people with bad eyes, no social life...
0:32:51 > 0:32:56no girls...no more kids... no more horse-back riding...
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Yes...
0:32:58 > 0:33:01and with sergeant stripes!
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- All right. Thank you very much. - Morning, Christine.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- How was your- dad? Thank you.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11He went to Atlantic City...
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- but Neil called me.- Oh, was that him on the phone just now?- No.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21That was our Assistant DA. I was talking to him about Nunzio.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25You were what? YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU...
0:33:25 > 0:33:28It doesn't matter! Burke was not interested.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Oh. Why not?- Because Nunzio's a junkie with a record
0:33:32 > 0:33:37- and his testimony would never hold up in court.- What a surprise(!)
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- It's OK. I'm onto something else anyway.- Do I want to hear this?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Uh-huh. Mrs Skimmons.
0:33:44 > 0:33:50Don't tell me - we'll get Mrs Skimmons to perjure herself too.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53We'll get Mrs Skimmons to tell the truth.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Sit down. Look at this.
0:33:55 > 0:34:02In her statement, she said she went down to get Mr Poulianakis for their weekly trip to the library.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- There was no answer. She became frightened so she called us.- Yeah.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10That call was logged in here at 9.48am on a Tuesday.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15I called the library. On Tuesdays, they do not open until noon.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Maybe she went to get him early.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Maybe, but I don't think so. I think something scared her.
0:34:22 > 0:34:29I think she saw Leonard Nolan let himself in to that apartment, shut the door and then she called us.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Good. You are good.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Mm-hm.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Croissants in the car?- Mm-hm.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42SYNTHESIZER MUSIC
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Those boys there...
0:34:46 > 0:34:51Don't worry. Christine will give her bad-cop stare. ..Show them.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- Hey, how's it going? - ALL: He-e-ey!
0:34:54 > 0:34:56He-e-ey!
0:34:59 > 0:35:03The air feels so good. It's nice to be out of the house.
0:35:03 > 0:35:10- You said that you stay in a lot, because you're frightened.- Yes, I see and hear such dreadful things.
0:35:10 > 0:35:18That makes me sad and angry. ..A nice woman like her, so frightened she's a prisoner in her own home.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22This is what keeps me going in my job, trying to make things better.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Although sometimes that seems impossible.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31I appreciate what you're doing. I'm glad someone's trying at least.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36That's my point, I guess. Trying is better than doing nothing at all.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42We can't do this by ourselves. Our legal system is so frustrating -
0:35:42 > 0:35:48a bad man like Leonard Nolan, he can take it, bend it, make the rest of us feel like monkeys.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53Mr Poulianakis got so frustrated going to court time after time!
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I know! ..Do we know?!
0:35:55 > 0:36:01But I regret it cos the system was eventually going to work, because Mr Poulianakis was doing his part,
0:36:01 > 0:36:06but when we have nobody to help us...we don't stand a chance.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11We know you're frightened, but we need your testimony in court.
0:36:11 > 0:36:17Ma'am, one thing I know for sure is that Leonard Nolan brutally assaulted Mr Poulianakis.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22Had he not done so, maybe Mr Poulianakis would still be alive.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Leonard Nolan deserves to be punished for that despicable act,
0:36:26 > 0:36:33but the way things stand, we're waiting for God to do it...unless you come forward, Mrs Skimmons,
0:36:33 > 0:36:36and give us the help that we need.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45I saw Mr Nolan come in, so I hurried back into my apartment.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50I looked through my peephole and saw him going into Mr Poulianakis's.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55- How did he get in?- He used his passkey.- And then what happened?
0:36:55 > 0:37:01Even through the door, I could hear Mr Poulianakis crying out for help.
0:37:01 > 0:37:07- That's when I called you. I should have done more, but I didn't know what to do.- You did fine, ma'am.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12Did you see Mr Nolan again that day?
0:37:12 > 0:37:17Yes, I watched him leave the apartment. He was carrying Mr Poulianakis' walker.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23When he'd gone, I tried the door, but Mr Nolan must have had locked it.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26I called out to Mr Poulianakis
0:37:26 > 0:37:31and said, "Hold on. There's help coming."
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Then I went back to my apartment
0:37:34 > 0:37:37and waited for the police to arrive.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Thank you, Mrs Skimmons. We know that that was hard for you.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- Do we have a case? - Just one last question.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49You never came forward before with this information.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52In court, the defence lawyer would ask why.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57I'm not a brave woman, Mr Burke.
0:37:59 > 0:38:05For the last ten years, I haven't asked much of life - just not to be hurt.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10I was afraid Mr Nolan would... retaliate against me.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13That's all I could think of.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I feel very sorry
0:38:17 > 0:38:19and ashamed.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23That's not a way to live, is it?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Well, you're doing the right thing now. Huh?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Huh?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33We've got a case,
0:38:33 > 0:38:35but if you don't mind,
0:38:35 > 0:38:40I'll need a few hours of your time to have your statement transcribed.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Don't worry, ma'am. We'll come and pick you up and take you home, OK?
0:38:44 > 0:38:48That's very kind, but it's an easy bus ride.
0:38:48 > 0:38:54- I was thinking I might stop at the museum on the way. - Good for you!- That's wonderful.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59And YOU were wonderful. We'll pick you up for court on Monday.
0:38:59 > 0:39:06- 8 o'clock?- 7.15. We'll take you to breakfast.- That's a nice idea! Have you been to Stan's? Fabulous.
0:39:06 > 0:39:11- Chez Maurice, espresso and crepes. You like Belgian waffles?- Ladies...
0:39:11 > 0:39:15do you think we could discuss menus on Monday?
0:39:15 > 0:39:20- Monday. See you then. - And by the way...thanks.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- So we did good.- Yeah, we did good.
0:39:26 > 0:39:33- Mary Beth, you were wonderful with Mrs Skimmons. I really admire the way you handle witnesses.- Yeah?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- YOU put it all together. - We're a great team.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41- This is true.- Let's go out and celebrate how terrific we are.- Now?
0:39:41 > 0:39:47- Oh, you got Harvey and the kids. - No, I was thinking I would study tonight for the sergeant's exam.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52- You got six months!- YOU'LL probably study the night before and pass!
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- Probably!- Yeah, well, I need six months, Christine!- No...
0:39:56 > 0:39:59five months and 29 days, huh?
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Tonight, what do you say we get fried?
0:40:03 > 0:40:04OK.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Can you believe that creep?! Weak script, mediocre concept...
0:40:10 > 0:40:15- It matched the production value. - Do they know what a producer does?!
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Mannie, sweetheart! Walk and talk, Mannie. Walk and talk...
0:40:19 > 0:40:24- Did you call Harvey again? - Harvey will live.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Harvey's all right. He's OK.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31OK?! Harvey's more than OK. Let's drink to Saint Harvey.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36- The best man in America. - He's not a saint.- OK.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- He's my sweetheart.- OK.
0:40:43 > 0:40:49- OK, what about this Neil person? - Nothing.- Nothing? You told me you talked to him.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53I talked to him this morning. He called to say how much he liked me.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58- That's not nothing. It's something. - Do you know why he likes me?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01I'm so easy to be around.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I'm such an undemanding person
0:41:04 > 0:41:07and I'm a cactus.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- I beg your pardon?- I'm a cactus.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14She's a fern.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Who?- His wife.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Is a fern?!- Yes!
0:41:22 > 0:41:25She needs constant watering
0:41:25 > 0:41:30and I don't need any attention at all. That's what he told me.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Nothing.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37What a bastard! I hope you gave him a piece of your mind!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- It's not HIM. It's me. - Not him?!- It isn't!
0:41:40 > 0:41:47That Neil is not deserving of you! I don't want you to think that all men are like that miserable Neil.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51No, no, there's a good man out there for you. I know it.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56Mary Beth, I wouldn't even know a good man if I ran over him.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Bad luck. You had bad luck.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01It isn't bad luck! I picked them!
0:42:01 > 0:42:06- Every one of them - there's the rub -- I- chose them. It was me.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- That doesn't make sense!- It takes the responsibility off of me
0:42:11 > 0:42:15to make a permanent commitment to any one of them.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19OK, so...you're a person that wants to live alone.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21That's OK! People do that!
0:42:21 > 0:42:26But that isn't all I want. I don't want just that.
0:42:26 > 0:42:33There's a part of me, a very big part of me, that would like to have a husband and a baby...like you
0:42:33 > 0:42:37and a family. Somebody that I can connect with,
0:42:37 > 0:42:41that's more than just me all by myself. I'd be a very good mother!
0:42:41 > 0:42:44I know that. I know that!
0:42:44 > 0:42:47You think I'd be a lousy mother.
0:42:47 > 0:42:53I probably would and my kids would end up in therapy blaming me for everything.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59And what about being the first female Police Commissioner?
0:42:59 > 0:43:04- How do you handle it? I don't know how to do it.- I don't know either.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08- It's very hard.- It's more than hard. It's impossible!
0:43:10 > 0:43:16I thought I had it all figured out. I did. I liked everything that I was. I just loved it.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18And then...
0:43:20 > 0:43:25I didn't like anything I had and I wanted everything new and different...
0:43:27 > 0:43:29..and I don't know what to do.
0:43:29 > 0:43:34I don't know what I want and I'm very confused and I just hate it.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39Well, I, for one, am very proud of you.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44What?! I'm proud of you! Cos you didn't sweep it under the rug.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48You let it out and let it hit the air.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51You gave sound to the thoughts.
0:43:51 > 0:43:57Sound...and air...and then you can start to deal with it!
0:43:59 > 0:44:02- You think?- Yeah! Certainly!
0:44:04 > 0:44:07- Let's get another drink.- OK.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15Excuse me. Bartender...do that again!
0:44:16 > 0:44:21- Excuse me.- I gotta get something to eat or I'll be sick on the bar!
0:44:21 > 0:44:23- Are you gonna be sick?- No.- No?
0:44:23 > 0:44:27No, let's call Harvey and invite him to join us.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Your sweetheart, Harv.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- I love Harvey. - Thank you.- Yeah, thank you.
0:44:35 > 0:44:40- So, so what are you going to do? - What am I going to do about what?
0:44:40 > 0:44:42I mean, what do you think?
0:44:43 > 0:44:47- About what?- Your life.
0:44:47 > 0:44:48Oh.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56Did you ever see... Gone With The Wind?
0:44:57 > 0:45:01- Certainly. - Remember Scarlett O'Hara?
0:45:01 > 0:45:06- Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.- That was Rhett Butler.
