0:01:28 > 0:01:31- I have an idea.- What?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We don't have to move from this exact spot.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Whatever do you mean?
0:01:38 > 0:01:44- You have no romance.- I thought that's what I was talking about!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I keep reading all these columns...
0:01:48 > 0:01:53..how women expect more out of love than a quick roll in the hay,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56like flowers...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You brought me flowers last night.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- ..candy...- Rots your teeth. - ..breakfast in bed...
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Are you gonna cook?
0:02:06 > 0:02:11- I'm gonna have it delivered. I'm a modern man.- Of course(!)- I am!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Oh, come on!- Croissants...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16coffee, quiche and juice,
0:02:16 > 0:02:23served by a butler, in bed, in a tuxedo, who is about to arrive in ten minutes.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Are you kidding?- I am not, and I think we should be presentable.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- You're lying!- I am not! He's going to be here in ten minutes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Ten minutes?- Ten minutes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Maybe he'll be late.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03KNOCKING
0:03:04 > 0:03:11Good, you're here. The lady's still in the shower. Could you be changed and set up...?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Oh, it's too late. I really want this to be something special, OK?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Put these on the tray.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Chris, breakfast is ready!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Should we just get back in bed?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28OK!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Ta-ta!
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Pop!
0:03:37 > 0:03:43- You don't know my father! - I'm certain he knows that you are...sexually active.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Thanks for the discreet phrase(!) You make it sound like poisoning.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I'm not making a judgement. You told him about Dory, right?
0:03:52 > 0:03:57It is one thing for a father - my father - to know that I...know men.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00But for him to walk in like that...
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- I don't know what to do. - You want advice?- No.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I'm just trying to make appropriate responses here.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- I want to look at a corpse, OK? - You are a joy(!)
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- I hate suicides. - Oh, so, a nice jolly murder?
0:04:16 > 0:04:22- I know how it feels to want to kill somebody.- Anybody I know?- Yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Your partner who's charming on a Monday morning.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31- It surprised everybody.- Detectives Lacey and Cagney.- Upstairs. 17D.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It's such a shame. A real shame.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36They were nice people, the Tantons.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Tipped very well.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Thank you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I love New York!
0:04:55 > 0:05:02- Oh, Lord, that's whatshisname! - Sinclair, with the terrible puns. "If you'll excuse the expression."
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Father.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Ah, the lady detectives, Casey and Lacey!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Cagney and Lacey. So, what do we have?
0:05:12 > 0:05:20- You don't want to look. A gun to the temple is messy.- Any idea on motive? - You might say he lost his head!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Come on, Sinclair. Give us a break.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I can't just pass those things up.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28There's a note in the typewriter.
0:05:28 > 0:05:35- Has anyone touched it?- Deceased and widow. She found him. She's in her bedroom - separate bedroom!
0:05:35 > 0:05:42- If I get the body downtown now, I'll get a preliminary by this afternoon. - Are you through with your photos?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Sure you want to do that?
0:05:58 > 0:06:03OK, boys. Take him away. I'll try to read what's left of his mind.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I got home about...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17..ten o'clock last night
0:06:17 > 0:06:22and Peter had told me that he was going to be working and he...
0:06:22 > 0:06:29doesn't like me to disturb him when he's working, so...I went right to bed.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Woke up about... I guess it was four o'clock
0:06:33 > 0:06:41and I went to get a drink of water and saw he wasn't in his room, but he often falls asleep in the study
0:06:41 > 0:06:43and then it was...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47..six...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52..when I found him.
0:06:54 > 0:07:01We know how hard this is on you, but we have to do it. Do you have any idea why he would kill himself?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- There was a note.- Yes, Mrs Tanton, but it was pretty vague.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15He said there was no...purpose any more.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19You live with a man for 25 years and...
0:07:20 > 0:07:23..there are things about him you don't know.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31He was a stranger.
0:07:33 > 0:07:40- Doesn't feel right.- I don't like the idea of a typed suicide note. - With no signature. Listen.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43"I apologise for the pain I have caused.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49"I have been neither a good father nor a good husband, for which I ask forgiveness."
0:07:49 > 0:07:56- What kind of suicide worries about a dangling whatsit?- A careful man. - Who splashes himself over the room?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Cab?- No, thanks. We've got our own.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07What kind of wife waits two hours to check on her husband?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Not everybody is as happily married as you.
0:08:11 > 0:08:17- You wanted a homicide.- Which we won't even get. The Lieutenant wants the Lekowski report.
0:08:17 > 0:08:23- We'll work on that till the autopsy's done. What's the problem? - I loathe optimism.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Have you got the Lekowski report? - I'm working on it now, sir.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- I want it today.- On your desk.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- D'you talk to the medical examiner? - Yeah, he said... Oh, never mind.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44What'd he say?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47He said he had a good head start on it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Very sick man.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02- In light of the medical examiner's report, we need to ask a few more questions.- OK.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Do you know anybody who would want to harm your husband?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08No.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11He was a very POPULAR man.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14No enemies? None at all?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15No.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- Did he ever discuss any problems regarding business with you?- No.
0:09:20 > 0:09:27- There was no sign of a forced entry and nothing was missing? - Not that I'm aware of, no.
0:09:28 > 0:09:35It would appear that whoever shot your husband was someone that he probably knew.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Did he mention anyone coming to visit him last night?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42No.
0:09:42 > 0:09:49- We'll have to talk to a few other people - business associates, friends, your daughter...- Jane?
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- Why would you bring her into this? - Her father may have talked to her.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56No.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00They...rarely spoke to each other.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Yes, ma'am. We'd still like to talk to her.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- No.- I beg your pardon?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11I'm afraid I...I can't allow that.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14She's a...a very emotional girl.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I'm sorry, but it's necessary.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28In fact, it would help if you could give us names and addresses of...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Mrs Tanton?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38It's...no use.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Ma'am?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43You don't need to talk to anyone else.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I killed my husband.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- Case closed. Move on.- Yes, sir. Only we're not entirely satisfied.
0:11:06 > 0:11:13- Why? You got a confession. The DA's office is happy.- Yes, sir, but we didn't get a motive.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18- She told us she killed him, typed the note, then waited.- Two hours.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21But she won't say why she did it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26They've been married for what, 25 years? Tell her, Lacey - it happens.
0:11:26 > 0:11:33- Yes, but we asked her why and she said it wasn't important. - That's not acceptable.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39- We'd like to stay on it. - Yeah, but you still got the warehouse break-ins?- Yes, sir.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44And the social security muggings? I've yet to see the Lekowski report.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- Yes, sir.- And you got time to mess around with this?- With respect...
0:11:49 > 0:11:55You want to have some more work? OK, I got some more work for you.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Here.- No, sir, really, that's fine. Thank you.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Annual performance evaluations.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Mary Beth Lacey. Christine Cagney.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Look 'em over. Initial 'em. I don't think you'll be too unhappy.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Thank you, sir.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- What do we do now, partner? - The Lekowski report first.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21What's that?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Would you look at this!
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Highest grades in ten categories, second-highest in the other one.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Communication skills - he says that I'm sometimes... What does he say?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Brusque! I've never been brusque!
0:12:39 > 0:12:44If I were a man, he wouldn't say "brusque" - he'd say "aggressive".
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Mary Beth, do you find me brusque?
0:12:47 > 0:12:52I understand how you feel, but sometimes you are a little...
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- less than tactful.- But never brusque! I'm gonna talk to him.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Excuse me, Lieutenant. - Oh, Cagney...come on in.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- Yes...- I've been thinking about it and maybe I was a little hasty.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13I've been looking over the Tanton file and...I don't like it either.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Take a day. Talk to a few people and then we'll re-evaluate.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Something else?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29No, sir. Thank you.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Thank you, sir.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Brusque!
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Hey, Dory.- Hello, Mr Cagney. - Hi. How are you?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So, you...got a minute for a drink?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Sure.- There's a place round the corner. Come on.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11URGENT KNOCKING
0:14:13 > 0:14:16KNOCKING CONTINUES
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I'm coming! Hold your horses!
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Oh, Chris, come in. Something wrong?
0:14:24 > 0:14:30- You're damn straight! What do you think you were doing tonight?- Want some coffee? I could make it fresh.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Is it your plan to cross-examine every one of my boyfriends?
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- All I did was buy the guy a coffee! - You were trying to find out...
0:14:40 > 0:14:47- whether Dory's intentions were honourable...- Oh, come on! - ..which is none of your business.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53Wait one minute, young lady! It's a father's business to know who his daughter's...
0:14:53 > 0:14:58- associating with.- Sleeping with. I am an adult.- And I'm your father.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04- I raised you and I love you, and what you do...- Reflects back on you.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07..affects me.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I am hardly what you would call promiscuous.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I am 38 years old, Daddy,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- and who I spend my time with... - Sleep with.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24..is nobody's business but my own.
0:15:28 > 0:15:35Charlie...you're the one that told me a parent's job was to become obsolete.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37You said it had to end. You did.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- At 18 or 21 or somewhere, it's got to end...- No, no, honey...
0:15:42 > 0:15:47Not if you care. Then it never ends. Just the job description changes...
0:15:47 > 0:15:51If I wanted you to meet Dory, I'd have introduced you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56That's terrific(!) He's good enough to sleep with, but not to meet me.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00He came crying to you because I bought him coffee.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04You know why he told me? He thought it was nice. I don't.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10You leave him alone, Charlie.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20How can you get serious about anyone who roots for the Boston Celtics?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- Miss Tanton. - You! Do you know what you've done?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Do you have any idea? This is a false arrest.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46You have the wrong person.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51- I'm a law student. I'll sue you for every penny you've...- Wait, lady.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57- Your mother confessed to shooting your father.- Well, she didn't. He killed himself.
0:16:57 > 0:17:04- He couldn't live with himself, so... - Miss Tanton, we have a medical examiner's report.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- It could not have been suicide. - That doesn't mean my mother did it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:16She couldn't have. If you knew what kind of a person... the kindest, gentlest soul...
0:17:16 > 0:17:23- We know this is hard on you...- Did you know she has a heart condition? - We'll have a doctor examine her.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27You don't understand! My mother would never hurt anybody!
0:17:33 > 0:17:37My father...ruined her life.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43He made it hell for her and she never once confronted him.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46She never even complained.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52I used to beg her to leave him and she said she couldn't, that we had to love him.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- You understand?- Yes, but why'd she say she killed him?- He was evil.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- I'm asking about your mother. - What did he do? Did he beat her?
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- He deserved to die! He was evil. - There must be a reason why she killed him.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- She didn't kill him! - She confessed to it!
0:18:13 > 0:18:19- Miss Tanton...do you think maybe you'd better go home now?- No.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- No, I won't.- Please...- Are you deaf? - No.- Don't you listen to me?- Yes.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27My mother's trying to protect me.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30She didn't kill the bastard.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I did.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- What, so you're blaming us? - Who else?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Two confessions!
0:18:44 > 0:18:52Let's say one of our confessed murderers - worse, both ladies - changes her mind. Then what?
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Who do I file against? Pick one, any one?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59And then what? I'll tell you what.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Smart defence lawyer takes it to a bleeding heart jury.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09"How can we ever really know what happened on that fateful night?
0:19:09 > 0:19:16"Is it not better that 100 guilty women be set free than one poor unfortunate unfairly convicted?"
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Excuse me, but how exactly is it our fault?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I will reiterate -
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I am not going to trial like this, OK?
0:19:26 > 0:19:33Either tie them in together, or blow the air out of one of their stories, and we will pray to get out of this.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Capisce? I appreciate it, ladies.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Goodbye.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44And good luck.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47How exactly is this our fault?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Yes, Miss Panchez. OK, thank you.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Bingo! It is confirmed. We have a motive.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02OK.
0:20:02 > 0:20:10- Why aren't I happy?- Mary Beth, come on! We never believed Jane's confession, so we were right.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16- You think the mother's for real? - I don't know. She had a good reason for murdering her husband.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21So...we go confront Jane, we get her to retract.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I really hate this.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It's not my favourite thing either.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- Want to be bad cop or good cop? - It's up to you. Take your pick.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I am telling you I did it. What more do you bloodsuckers want?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38You have to let my mother go.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- We don't have to do anything of the kind.- I don't believe you.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I did it.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It's my fault.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54Good. Fine, Jane. Are you familiar with the name of Denise Manchester?
0:20:54 > 0:20:5627 years old, part-time "model".
0:20:56 > 0:21:04- I love that! She's living in an apartment rented in your father's name.- I know who she is.- I'll bet!
0:21:04 > 0:21:11- She believed your father was going to leave your mother.- My mother told me.- Did she?- Finally got lucky.
0:21:11 > 0:21:18You think that's how your mother felt? After 25 years of marriage? What are you, a mind-reader?!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22You talk to her.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Miss Tanton, I can understand why you confessed.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33You're close to your mother and want to help her,
0:21:33 > 0:21:38but as a law student, you know what two confessions do to our case.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Miss Tanton?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Are you OK?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Oh, I'm fine!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49It's you who's not OK!
0:21:49 > 0:21:54You think you know everything and you're so stupid!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Cut it out...- Shut up and listen to me! You don't know anything!
0:21:58 > 0:22:01My father wasn't leaving my mother for another woman!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05He was leaving her for two little girls.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I beg your pardon?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Denise Manchester has two little girls.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I don't know what you mean.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Miss Tanton, did your father...?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- I'm trying to say... did your father...?- He molested me.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29He was a horrible, disgusting man.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I hated him.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Every night I prayed he wouldn't do it any more.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I wanted him to die.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Oh, Lord, I'm sorry.- Sorry?!
0:22:44 > 0:22:51My father forced me to have sex with him from the age of ten... until I could get out of the house.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Only it wasn't over then.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57All the hate...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00and the mess...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03..and the guilt...
0:23:05 > 0:23:07My life...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11..is a disaster.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Two years of law school, that's all.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I never finish anything.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21My marriage...
0:23:22 > 0:23:24..men...
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I think about that horrible filth and I want to die!
0:23:30 > 0:23:33More than that, I want him dead.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36He IS dead.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Jane, did you kill him?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46When I heard about Denise Manchester...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and her two daughters...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Two little innocent girls!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54..I couldn't let him do that again.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I went to tell him I'd expose him if he went ahead with it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01And do you know what he did?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05He laughed at me.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You want to know why I killed him?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11My life is a sewer
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and it's his fault!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18And he laughed at me!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Don't!
0:24:44 > 0:24:47You OK?
0:24:47 > 0:24:52The first time I broke an incest case, it was a kid under nine.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58She'd be about the age Jane is now, and I was wondering if she still hurts the way that woman does.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Oh, I don't know...
0:25:04 > 0:25:08No matter how long I do this, how many horrors I see,
0:25:08 > 0:25:15sometimes I get one and I think, "When am I going to get tough? Why do I keep subjecting myself...?"
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Family stuff is the worst.
0:25:19 > 0:25:25Husbands and wives and... children and parents is the stuff that's supposed to make life...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29..good. Right?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Instead it gets twisted up into something ugly.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Sorry!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I'm sorry. I'll be OK.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43You're OK.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I worry about the rest of us.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Good afternoon.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Mr Montgomery?- Yes. - Detective Cagney.- How do you do?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Detective Lacey.- Detective.- Hello.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04That chair...
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Hello, Julia.- Hello, Sam. - Please sit down.
0:26:09 > 0:26:16- I want to go on record again - my client is talking to you over my objections.- Got it, Mr Montgomery.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Mrs Tanton...you've read your daughter's statement?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Yes. I didn't want...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I'm so sorry
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Janey had to tell it to strangers.
0:26:32 > 0:26:39- You knew about it all the time, didn't you?- No. I didn't know anything until then, that night.
0:26:39 > 0:26:46I came home early and they were shouting so loud they didn't even hear me come in.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51At first I didn't even recognise their voices, so I listened.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58And I...I couldn't believe what Janey was accusing him of.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04It was...too horrible.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09And then she was gone. We didn't even see each other.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12And I went into the study...
0:27:14 > 0:27:19..and there was someone there that I'd never seen before...
0:27:19 > 0:27:21in my life.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Never.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26In 25 years.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34That's when I knew it was true.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Peter just looked at me.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43He didn't even seem surprised to see me.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47And he said,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51"Julia, this is all your fault.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53"The whole thing.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56"You didn't satisfy me.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59"You were always too sick."
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I was too sick?!
0:28:06 > 0:28:12I remembered all the times Jane had asked me to take her with me...
0:28:12 > 0:28:15asked me not to leave her alone...
0:28:15 > 0:28:17with him.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22She begged me... to send her to boarding school,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25to send her to camp - anywhere.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32And it never occurred to me.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41I got Peter's gun from his bedroom and I came back into the study
0:28:41 > 0:28:44and he was sitting at his desk...
0:28:46 > 0:28:48..working.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55- And I came up behind him...- Julia, I don't think...- No, Stanley!
0:28:55 > 0:29:03The only thing that matters now is that they believe me. You must believe me. I shot him. I shot him!
0:29:05 > 0:29:07But you didn't say why.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14I wanted to protect her.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22Her reputation. That's all I can do for her now, you see.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- But, you see, she just confessed. - But she's lying.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34My daughter is lying to save me.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Can you imagine? To save me.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53OK. So, where were we?
0:29:53 > 0:30:00Well, sir...back where we started, only now we have two motives to go with the two confessions.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05We need independent corroboration, a third party. Otherwise, it's a mess.
0:30:05 > 0:30:11We talked to the girlfriend. She swears her daughters were never left alone with Tanton.
0:30:11 > 0:30:18She's shocked about the accusation. She thinks the mother and daughter are making it up.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24- I see two avenues of exploration - the doorman in Tanton's co-op... - Yes, sir.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- ..and also the live-in maid.- Yeah.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Isabella... Isabella Aragon.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34The only address we had on her didn't pan out.
0:30:34 > 0:30:41- Sounds like an illegal alien - doesn't want to be found.- We don't know she was even there that night.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- No chance she did it? - I don't think so.
0:30:44 > 0:30:52Apparently, she speaks no English. The note was perfect English, down to the non-dangling participle.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I thought this one would be tough.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57OK. Get on it.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- What first?- Check the co-op again.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Here we are, ladies.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16- You sure about the maid?- Oh, I'd never miss a looker like that!
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- I've got ESP, you know what I mean? - No.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Extra-sensual prescription.- Ah!
0:31:22 > 0:31:28That young beauty was nipping out the back way, carrying a paper bag full of clothes. Hard to miss her!
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- Well, thank you, Mr MacDonald. Where is Isabella's room?- That way.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38I...I always like to help the boys in blue, as it were.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- I've an uncle in the force... - Thank you.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Ah, all right, yes...
0:31:56 > 0:32:01- So, she WAS here that night. - So, she'll know.- Maybe she'll know.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- If we can find her.- Even if we do, I doubt she's gonna testify.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10I'd settle for talking with her.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- Mary Beth.- Yeah?- Look what I found.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20What?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Oop!
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Padre George Tate...
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- What does that say?- Sociedad... Salvadorian Aid Society.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Salvadorena, see?- Let's call them.
0:32:42 > 0:32:48- Father Tate?- Yes. Can I help you? - I'm Detective Cagney. This is Detective Lacey.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- We were hoping that you could help us find someone.- I see.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Then I'm afraid I can't help you. - Excuse me, Father.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01- We're not with Immigration. We're working on a homicide.- A Mr Tanton.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06He had a live-in maid named Isabella Aragon. She could help us.
0:33:08 > 0:33:14- We just want to talk to her. - For most of the people I deal with at the Salvadorian Aid Society,
0:33:14 > 0:33:19the distinction between the INS and the NYPD is very blurred.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- There's not a lot of trust. - Do they trust you?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I don't know if I can trust you.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30I don't know her.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35- But you could find her.- Maybe, but it would be on my terms.- Which are?
0:33:35 > 0:33:41- She's free to go afterwards.- That may not be our choice.- It will be.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Uh, excuse me, Father. I'm sorry.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- I don't like being dictated to. - You're the ones with the problem.
0:33:51 > 0:33:57Listen, I'm not stupid. I know the advantage of having cops in my debt.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01The Salvadorian Aid Society is my own crusade.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It isn't sanctioned by my church.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12So, I learned the hard way that if I don't take care of these people, and myself, then nobody else will.
0:34:12 > 0:34:19If I find Isabella Aragon, I want guarantees, and the only ones I trust are my own.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Now, if that isn't acceptable,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25then go in peace.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29And may God be with you.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50- I'm getting a candy bar. Want one? - Relax. The priest said he'd call.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- He said maybe he'd call. - Then maybe relax.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57How can I relax?! Do you want a candy bar or not?
0:34:57 > 0:35:04Everybody's leading us around by the nose - mother, daughter...
0:35:04 > 0:35:10- Everybody's running this case but us.- We never have control. Sometimes we fool ourselves better.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15- What is that supposed to be, deep? - No, it's what I was thinking about.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Want the reasoning behind it?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22No, not a whole lot.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Christine, remember when you asked me if I thought you were brusque?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Brusque?- Brusque.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37I'm sorry. I'm working on it. So, tell me your theory.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40If you believe, which I do, that order...
0:35:40 > 0:35:45- Is this a long story?- Nobody ever learned with their mouth open.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Hi, Charlie.- Officer Daughter. - Hi, Charlie.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51They told me I'd find you here.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- Yeah, we're, um, working. Waiting for a phone call.- You want coffee?
0:35:56 > 0:36:02- I'll get some.- Don't leave. I got tickets for the Knicks on Friday. I wondered if Christine could go.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Friday?- Yeah.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Yeah, I could go.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Yeah? Terrific, terrific!
0:36:11 > 0:36:17- Do me a favour - hang on to the tickets for safety.- You keep 'em.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20I'd feel better if you'd hold 'em.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22OK.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27Well...I got a couple of guys waiting for me. I'd better go.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- See you on Friday. ..Mary Beth. - See you.- Bye, Charlie.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Nice.- Peace offering.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Hey, there are three tickets!
0:36:39 > 0:36:43- Oh? Maybe he wants you to invite somebody.- Do you think(?)
0:36:43 > 0:36:48- Charlie! Guess who the Knicks are playing. The Celtics!- Who else?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50PHONE RINGS
0:36:50 > 0:36:55Detective Lacey, 14th Precinct. How you doing, Father?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Good evening, Father.- How are you? - Father.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16She is here.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Isabella...
0:37:22 > 0:37:26estas son las dos detectives de quien te hable.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Como estas?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Bien. Usted?- Not bad.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Senorita.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38'We talked to Isabella Aragon.'
0:37:38 > 0:37:41She says she was there. She heard you arguing.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46Then she heard you leave, and then she heard a gunshot.
0:37:46 > 0:37:52You're bluffing. If you could prove anything, you wouldn't have to talk to me. You'd just release me.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Smart. OK.
0:37:55 > 0:38:01Your mother wants to plead guilty and the DA's office won't make a deal unless you withdraw your plea.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04But I did it. It's my fault.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09No, you may think it's your fault, but I know you didn't do it.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- No! Get her out of here! - Jane, please...
0:38:13 > 0:38:18- You can't talk to me without my lawyer.- We called him.- We'll wait.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- This is unconstitutional. - Not if we don't ask any questions.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25We're just going to listen.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Jane...- Don't do this to me.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- You look pale. Are you all right? - This isn't going to do any good.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- I've missed talking to you. - Mother, please...
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Let me do this.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48It's my fault.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51It was never your fault.
0:38:51 > 0:38:58I tempted him, he said, especially because you were sick. You wouldn't, so I had to, he said.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01I'm sorry, Mother, I'm sorry.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05- I love you. How could I have done this to you?- To me?
0:39:05 > 0:39:10You didn't do anything to me, Jane. It was just him. It was all him.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14I hate myself for doing it. How could I have done it?
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- He made you do it. - I should have made him stop.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Janey, you were too little.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26But I wish you had come to me. I would have made him stop.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31I couldn't. I couldn't tell you. You were too sick.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Jane...I'm your mother.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44You didn't want to be my mother. You wanted to be my friend.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51But that's... what I thought you wanted too.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54We had such a good time together.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Didn't we have fun, Jane?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02I still can't...
0:40:02 > 0:40:05believe he was...
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Say it.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11A child-molester.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Say it.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17I can't.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Did you know?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- Oh, no.- You had to know!
0:40:27 > 0:40:34- I swear to you, I didn't know. - Don't tell me you didn't know something. No, you knew.
0:40:34 > 0:40:41You didn't do anything, because all you cared about was your marriage and what other people might think.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Janey...
0:40:45 > 0:40:48if I had suspected...
0:40:50 > 0:40:53..I would have taken you away.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58I'd have taken you away with me.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05You've got to believe me, Jane.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Please.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Please believe me, Janey.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13I didn't know until I heard you that night...
0:41:16 > 0:41:19..and then I had to kill him.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21I...
0:41:21 > 0:41:23killed him.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28I'm glad he's dead!
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Don't be glad, Janey!
0:41:47 > 0:41:52Mrs Tanton... can I say something to her?
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Jane...
0:41:56 > 0:42:01I think that your mother wants to accept responsibility for her guilt
0:42:01 > 0:42:08and I know that you have to accept responsibility for your innocence. You didn't do anything.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10You're not guilty of anything.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Let me do this.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Please.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19You have to go on...
0:42:20 > 0:42:23..with the rest of your life, sweetheart.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Please, if you could just...
0:42:27 > 0:42:30find it in your heart
0:42:30 > 0:42:33to forgive me.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Baby, just try to forgive me! - Oh, Mommy...!
0:42:45 > 0:42:48I love you, Jane.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52I love you, Jane.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56I love you, Mommy.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04I love it! You guys are fantastic. I really mean it. Coffee's on me.
0:43:04 > 0:43:11We finish up the paperwork and Jane walks. The old lady cops to manslaughter and does less time.
0:43:11 > 0:43:18She deserves worse, but I won't have to take it in front of a sympathetic jury. Guess I owe you guys one, huh?
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Thanks.- Cream? Sugar?- No, thanks.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Best of all, I get off for the weekend on time.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29I'm taking my lady for a romantic two days out.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Come on, cheer up!
0:43:32 > 0:43:35- You guys did good!- Yes, sir.
0:43:35 > 0:43:42Listen, I gotta move if I'm to beat the traffic. You guys have a good weekend too, right?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Congratulations. See you next week.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Got anything on for the weekend?
0:43:56 > 0:43:58Uh, the ball game with my father.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01Oh, Celtics!
0:44:02 > 0:44:06- How about you? - Got my steady date in Queens.
0:44:08 > 0:44:13- You had to be blind not to see it. - Two refs and no-one blew a whistle!
0:44:13 > 0:44:16- Only you two saw it. - What are you talking about?!
0:44:16 > 0:44:23- Bird gave him an elbow. - Yeah, Parish had five fouls... - It wouldn't have meant a thing.
0:44:23 > 0:44:30- We should have walked away with it. - It wouldn't have been close!- Right. More coffee?- Yeah, I'll have some.
0:44:30 > 0:44:37- Uh...nah, it's OK. I told these guys I'd go to Jersey tomorrow. I gotta hit the rack early.- Oh, OK.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40I'll come too. We can share a cab.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42How come?
0:44:42 > 0:44:45- Pop...?- You stay out of this.
0:44:45 > 0:44:50Listen, pal, it makes no difference to me when you leave this apartment,
0:44:50 > 0:44:58but you are not going to leave when I do, because I would not believe that. So...I'll see you soon.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03- And you - I am telling you, Bird threw an elbow.- Pop?
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Me too.
