Jake and the Fatman (1987) s01e08 Episode Script
The Man I Love
1
I'll say this about the
Fatman: he's a sweet guy.
Listen creep, I'm going to
take you apart like a clock.
JAKE: He can be
tough when he has to be.
J.L.: Jake Styles?
Don't ask me how
he can live the way he
does on a cop's salary.
Some people do seem
to like him, however.
But he's a damn good
investigator, and he's mine.
(theme playing)
He's a good guy.
Don't you forget it.

BAILIFF: Do you swear
to tell the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the
truth, so help you, God?
I do.
Now, Miss Parsons,
will you state your name
for the record, please?
Nancy Parsons.
Now, Miss Parsons, I want
you to think very carefully
and tell the court
exactly what you saw
the night of September 27th?
I was at my beach
house at County Line.
After dinner, I went
for a walk on the beach.
And what time was that?
I left the house at 11:00.
I know that because
my houseguests were just
starting to watch the news.
Now, on your walk, did
you see anything unusual?
Yes.
I was passing the
McDevitts' house.
They live six houses
down the beach from me.
What did you see?
I saw Mr. McDevitt in the
bedroom with Mrs. McDevitt.
J.L.: How far from them
were you when you saw them?
I was on the sand.
Um, their house is right
on the edge of the seawall,
so I was about 25 feet away.
And what did you see?
I Mr. McDevitt was
strangling Mrs. McDevitt.
He was choking her.
Her head was over
the edge of the bed,
and he had both
hands on her throat
and was shaking her
head up and down.
What did you do?
I screamed, and then
I ran back to my house
and we called the police.
Thank you.
No further questions
at this time, Your Honor.
Cross-examine?
Yes, Your Honor.
Miss Parsons, how much had
you been drinking that evening?
I hadn't had anything.
I don't drink alcohol.
Why is that?
Objection: Relevance.
I'll rephrase, Your Honor.
You don't drink because you
take medication, isn't that correct?
Yes.
Why do you take this medication?
Objection, Your Honor.
If the defense wants
to explore side effects
from the medication that might
impair the witness's perception,
that's one thing,
but the reason
for the medication
is completely irrelevant.
I'll allow it.
The witness will answer.
Why are you taking
this medication?
It's an antidepressant.
Isn't it true, Miss Parsons,
that you are mentally ill?
No, I'm not.
ATTORNEY: Isn't it
true that on two occasions
you've been hospitalized
for severe depression?
After my father died,
I went away for a rest.
Isn't it true that you've
been diagnosed as suicidal?
Objection!
This is highly prejudicial
and totally irrelevant!
Withdraw the question.
May I answer that
question, please?
No further questions.
Redirect, Mr. McCabe?
Very definitely, Your Honor.
Nancy,
I'd like to give you a chance
to tell us what it is
you wanted to say.
It's true. I've had
emotional problems.
I knew I did, and I
went to a doctor for help.
I'm not ashamed of that.
Mr. McCabe said that it wouldn't
be easy coming here today
because of what
people might think,
but I wanted to because
I know what I saw,
and what I saw was
Mr. McDevitt strangling his wife.
Thank you, Nancy.
Thank you very much.
No further questions,
Your Honor.
You may step down.
Court is adjourned
for a 15-minute recess.
That was a good and
brave thing you did, Nancy.
I wanted to.
I mean, we all have to help
or it doesn't work, does it?
That's right. It doesn't.
Glen!
Glen!
I wanted to thank
you for coming today,
but when I looked, you'd gone.
I came back.
What a great surprise.
I, uh, I don't think so.
Not for me, anyway.
What do you mean?
I came to, uh, say good-bye.
What?
No, let me finish.
Don't look at me like that.
It's tough enough saying this.
You're going away?
I'm taking the
oil job in Mexico.
Nancy, it's the only way.
Why?
I love you, and you
say you love me.
Oh, I do.
I do love you.
It's because I love
you that I'm leaving.
I don't understand.
I mean, how could
this be happening?
Because girls with
your kind of money
don't marry boys
as poor as I am.
Or at least as proud.
Are you all right?
No.
No, I'm not.
He's not worth it.
That doesn't help,
but you know I'm right.
He's the only man I've ever
been completely in love with.
Honey, I like to think of myself
as more than just
your secretary.
I'm your friend.
But if you really
want him that badly,
go after him.
Now by the power vested in
me by the State of California,
I pronounce you
husband and wife.
J.L. (laughing): Hey!
Good, good.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Oh, thank you so much
for being our witness.
Ah
And on such short notice.
It was my pleasure,
I assure you.
Will you stop sniveling?
Oh, thank you.
To the bride and the groom.
You will take good
care of her, won't you?
Oh, I will.
Much happiness to you both.
Oh, you don't have to wish it.
I absolutely know we will be.
(laughing)
Oh, wait.
Oh!
Good morning.
Looks like I missed the sunrise.
Don't you know that crew
members who sleep this late
get keelhauled?
How about I just make
us breakfast instead?
Take the wheel for a sec, okay?
Okay.
(shrieks)

♪
You've got to keep looking.
She could still be out there!
Mr. Latimer, we found the
boat almost 20 miles out.
I'd be lying if I
gave you any hope.
You can't just quit!
She's got to be alive.
Mr. Latimer
I find that highly
inappropriate.
Celebrating?
(both laugh)
Celebrating alone, that is.
(engine stops)
I don't understand.
Why didn't Glen
come back for me?
I can't answer that.
Did anyone know that you
were going sailing with Glen?
No one. We
We just decided to go.
Anyone see him in
the boat with you?
No.
We got on board
the night before,
and Glen stayed below
until we got out to sea.
Why?
I was just wondering.
I just can't believe that I
I don't understand. Why?
That's what I'd
like to find out.
And so would you, Nancy,
or you would've had them
call for him instead of me.
I'm so confused.
Look, you've been
through an awful lot.
Let me look into this
and you just try to
get some rest, all right?
I still love him.
Yes, I know.
I'm very tired.
You get some sleep.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
And don't you worry
I promise to you that
I will do my very best
to see that everything
comes out all right, okay?
Thank you.
Now get some sleep.
J.L.: The young woman is one
of the richest
heiresses in town.
She marries this man that she's
known for less than two months.
You know, Vale's
reporting a 60-inch base.
I heard they may even
open the back bowls.
Maybe I'll take
those power skis.
(chuckles)
You know, I was a
hotdogger when I was a kid.
Really? (laughing): Oh, yeah.
Anyway, the young woman
and her new husband go out
on her sailboat and he
pushes her overboard.
Not a witness in ten miles.
It's a perfect crime.
I think I will take
those power skis.
The only surprise is
she's a powerful swimmer
and she manages to stay
afloat until a boat picks her up,
and now, here comes the part
that you're really
going to find fascinating.
I mean, fascinating.
The wife does not
want to prosecute.
She's still in
love with the guy,
wants me to find
out what happened.
Well, I know damn well what will
happen if she goes back to him.
That creep is
going to try it again,
and next time he'll succeed.
What are you after?
Look, Jake, what I need
is someone on the inside,
someone who can get
close to the husband.
Get the evidence we
need to nail the son of a
J.L., I haven't had a
vacation in three years,
and this is the only week
that my friend's house is empty.
Well, I'll send Derek in.
He's dying to go
undercover, anyway.
Oh, perfect. He'll
fool everybody.
Jake!
What?
This is the girl who testified for
me in the McDevitt murder trial.
Hell, she won the case for me.
The defense bludgeoned
her, and she knew they would,
but she came through
for me, anyway.
Oh, you're saying you
owe her then, right?
That's what I'm saying.
Perfect. Then you go undercover.
Jake, the girl's father
gave his life to good works.
Hell, he practically
built the medical center.
Look, J.L., I don't give a damn
if he built a retirement home
for the old prosecutors.
The answer is still no.
I'm not talking
about cancellation.
Haven't you ever
heard of postponement?
No, not from you.
We're talking about 48
hours tops to save a life, huh?
I've got to nail this down
before she's able
to leave the hospital.
We've got 48 hours before
this creep husband of hers
knows she's alive.
No.
You know, Jake, I'm no softie,
but if anything
happens to this girl
it'll break my heart.
Stop it.
Stop it right now.
Don't try to make me feel guilty
because it's not going to work.
Jake.
(dog barking in distance)
Yes?
I am so sorry to
hear about your loss.
Well, I guess I
should say our loss.
Nancy was pretty remarkable.
Who are you?
She never mentioned me?
I'm her brother.
Well, actually, I'm
her half-brother.
I, uh, I flew down as
soon as the police told me.
May I come in?
Of course.
Thank you so much.
Please come in.
I-I'm sorry. I don't
know your name.
Uh Blair Parsons.
My mother was wife number one.
After the divorce, Mom and
I moved to San Francisco.
It's strange.
Nancy never mentioned
she had a brother.
Yeah. Well, after Dad died,
things were a little tense
over the will, you know.
Listen, do you think I could
get me a sandwich and a beer?
Uh Traveling really
knocks it out of me.
(stammering) Thanks. Okay.
So, you said that the
police informed you?
Yeah. Well
Oh, boy, I am beat.
Yeah, I'm her only relative.
Listen, tell me all
about your marriage.
How long were you
two together, anyway?
Well, I met Nancy
just a few months ago,
but I'd never known
anybody like her.
She was so bright and loving.
No one had ever loved
me the way she did.
Yeah. Well, Nancy
could be real determined.
Personally, I found
her a little hard to take,
but then again, I wasn't
in love with her, so
I've got the
insurance forms for
Hi. How are you?
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize
you had company.
Connie, this is Blair
Parsons, Nancy's brother
from San Francisco.
Hi.
I'm Connie, Nancy's secretary.
You're her brother?
Well, I'm her half-brother.
Forgive me.
I'm sorry to seem so confused.
It's just well, she
never mentioned you.
Well, I guess we were
a very private family.
Of course.
Please accept my condolences.
Sure. Thank you.
Blair, how long are you
going to be in town for?
Well, my plans
I think I'll be here
for a few days.
I've got some
business to take care of.
You know, I'm an
executor of Nancy's estate.
Really? I thought the bank was.
No, I'm taking care of
her holdings up north.
You see, if you thought
her father had money,
you should see the other side.
Boy, they've got megabucks,
if you know what I mean.
If I could be of help
in any way, I'd be
Do you mind if I stay here?
I mean, I could go to a hotel
or something, but since
we're family, I figured
No, no. You should stay here.
Good. Thank you.
Listen, don't mind me.
I'll just go upstairs and
find an empty room, okay?
Thank you.
(clears throat)
I just want you to know that
I know exactly how you feel.
I feel the same pain.
Do you believe him?
About Nancy's
mother having money?
I know the whole family
Whether he's her brother or not.
Glen, someone
shows up at the door
and says he's a relative,
and you invite him to move in.
What am I supposed
to do? Ask for photo ID?
We've got to think.
If he's legit, then we don't
want to make him mad,
because he could get suspicious.
But if he's a fake
Yeah. He could be
out to steal Nancy's
(chuckles) I mean, my money.
Our money.
Nancy told me everything.
I mean, you don't
know the hours I spent
listening to her childhood.
I don't remember anything
about any half-brothers.
Half-brother.
We can't afford for you
to be even half wrong.
Mr. Cooley, please.
You're calling Nancy's lawyer?
Hi, Grace.
This is Connie, Nancy Latimer's
secretary, for Mr. Cooley.
Be careful. Don't
give anything away.
Mr. Cooley.
Thank you for taking my call.
No, no, no, not taxes.
Well, something's come up
that's taken me by surprise,
and, well, you know
how protective I am.
Well, someone has shown up
who claims to be
Nancy's half-brother.
Blair Parsons?
I was wondering about
the sandwich and the beer?
Who's that?
Oh, Connie's calling
Nancy's lawyer.
Oh, Cooley? Oh,
let me talk to him.
Yeah, let me.
Hello. Hello.
Cooley, hey. Mr. Cooley, hey.
Blair Parsons, how are you?
Yeah, I thought that
was forgotten about.
Uh-huh.
Well, look, if that's your
attitude about that situation,
then I guess I could
just get the court
to appoint another
trustee. How about that?
I'm sorry.
There was a little
misunderstanding
about some check I
wrote against my trust fund.
Damn lawyers.
Hell, you would think
it was his money.
Well, Mr. Cooley
is very conservative,
and that's why
Nancy trusted him.
He was very helpful
in settling the estate.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I came right in here,
you were on the phone,
I interrupted, I grabbed
it out of your hand.
I hung the phone
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt
like that. I'll call back.
I'm sorry. I
apologize. I'm really
Listen, when you call him
back, could you apologize for me?
I would really
appreciate it, okay?
Thank you so much. Okay.
GLEN: Yes. Of course,
I've got the money.
Absolutely.
Tell him you want to meet him.
We should get together.
Tonight. Tonight.
Some place public like a bar
or a restaurant I know that!
Uh say 11:00 at the
bar over by the arroyo?
(whistles)
Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.
Am I interrupting something?
No. You sure?
Absolutely not. No.
Glen's just talking
to his mother
about the memorial
service for Nancy.
Oh. Well, I was going to get
a piece of that chocolate cake
that I saw back here
in the refrigerator.
(whistling tune)
That that's perfect.
Right. Good, good.
You want a piece? No, thanks.
This is good stuff.
You know, I'm a chocolaholic.
You know that?
Best way you eat it
right off the plate.
I can imagine.
No, wait, wait. I thought
that was all settled.
Would you like
some milk with that?
No. No, this is fine.
It's perfect just the
way it is. Thank you.
No, that's not right.
That is not acceptable.
Could you hand me that napkin?
We'll see.
Right.
You have to give
me all the details.
About the memorial service.
I'm sure there's
probably something
that I may want to contribute.
Of course.
I'm calling the San
Francisco police
and getting a
full report on him.
We're talking quality
merchandise here.
You understand,
it's once in a lifetime.
That's why I'm
paying top dollar.
No.
That's why you're
giving me an advance
on my commission tonight.
JAKE: Glen!
Hey! I thought that was you.
You mind if I borrow this chair?
Thank you.
Listen, what a coincidence, huh?
Come in here for a quick drink,
I look across the
room, I say to myself,
"It can't be," and it is. How
you doing? Hi. How are you?
This is Blair Parsons,
my brother-in-law.
Hi. How are you?
Look, I don't believe
I got the name.
My sympathy for
your sister's death.
Oh, thank you very
much. Yes, a terrible shock.
It really is, but I'll
tell you something.
Glen here is doing a great
thing; he's getting out there
with friends, putting
it all behind him.
You know, I think
that's really terrific, and I
really admire that, by the way.
I'll say good night.
Good night.
Something I said?
No.
You're here and you're
trying to do private business
with yourself and
I come in here, open my
big mouth like I own the place
and I am so sorry.
I didn't even think.
We-we were just finishing.
No, look. I Let
me go apologize.
I'll be right back.
(car accelerating)
You're certainly out late.
I was just, uh
I was visiting our
neighborhood bar.
May I be direct, Blair?
I'm a tough guy. Try me.
You're so different from Nancy.
It's hard for me to
believe that you're related,
much less brother and sister.
You sound like you
knew her pretty well.
I was more than
just her secretary.
I was also her nurse.
Is that so?
You sound surprised.
Well, like I said, we're
a very private family.
Well, you knew about
her problem, of course.
Well, if you're talking
about the depression,
yeah, I knew about that.
That's an understatement.
Why do you think
there isn't a single door in
this house with a lock on it?
You trying to tell me that
my sister tried suicide?
Only about once a month.
That's why Glen was
so very good for her.
How did she meet him?
You know, you kind of
caught me by surprise here,
swimming without
my suit on. Mm-hmm.
My robe is on the chaise.
You were about to tell me
how Glen and Nancy met.
I was a matchmaker.
Oh.
I knew Glen
casually, and I thought
they'd be perfect together.
And I was right.
She was so happy the
whole time they were together.
If you were a gentleman,
you'd hand me my robe.
Well, if you were a lady, honey,
you wouldn't have called me
over here with no clothes on.
Glen, Blair, this is
District Attorney McCabe
and his assistant,
Derek Mitchell.
How are you? Hi. Hi.
Please, join us.
Thank you very much.
My, uh, sincerest
sympathy, Mr. Latimer.
Thank you.
I don't believe I
know who you are, sir.
Oh, Blair is my
wife's half-brother.
I just flew in from San
Francisco. Is anything wrong?
Well, I don't know
whether I should
Oh, no. It's fine.
You can say anything
you want in front of him.
I see.
Well, as a matter of fact,
everything isn't all right.
I have reason to believe
that there's been foul
play in your wife's death.
What does that mean?
Plain and simple
Murder.
DEREK: We don't think your wife
was alone on the boat, sir.
Of course she was.
She said she was
going out alone.
J.L.: We found bloodstains
and traces of skin
on the boom as
sufficient trace evidence
to believe someone
else was aboard.
What do you think happened?
Whoever was with her
pushed her overboard,
then left her.
Derek.
Mr. Latimer, for the record,
where were you at the time
that your wife went
out on the boat?
Now, wait just a damn minute.
No, no, no, no. It's, it's fine.
JAKE: No, no. It's not fine.
Who the hell do
you think you are
to come in here and accuse
my brother-in-law of murder?
I'm not accusing anyone yet.
What I can and will do
is investigate this matter
as completely as the
facts and the law tell me to.
Let me tell you something.
He's destroyed by
my sister's death,
and I'm damned if I'm
gonna let you and your partner
come in here and
make him feel worse.
I think that's enough,
and unless you
want to be charged
with obstructing
this investigation,
I suggest you
stay out of my way.
I'll be inside the
house if you need me.
(clears throat)
I, uh I apologize for Blair.
No, don't bother.
Mr. Latimer, you never finished
telling us where
you were at the time.
Yes, that's right, Mr. Latimer.
I was here.
I mean, C-Connie
can vouch for me.
Really?
Well. Huh.
I guess that answers that.
Thank you, sir. Good day.
Thank you.
McCabe knows.
He's guessing.
About the blood.
About someone else
being on the boat.
I'm telling you
He figured it out.
So what if he has?
If he suspects anybody,
it's your brother-in-law.
What if he finds out
about the money?
Darling, sweetheart,
you're okay.
There is no proof.
There is no proof.
Do you hear me?
You're safe.
We have each other,
and you are safe.
You are perfectly safe. Okay?
Okay? It's okay.
You'll be safe here.
It's private.
Nobody can reach you.
You don't really think
that Glen would Nancy.
I talked to your banker,
and your husband's
withdrawing money.
Glen's entitled to do that.
He can sign on all my accounts.
Yes, but he's cleaning you out.
He's taking everything.
He's even mortgaging your home.
You're not saying that's
proof that he tried to kill me?
(sighs)
Well, at the best,
it's circumstantial,
but like you say, he's
got every right to do it.
There's something else.
Tell me.
We ran a check
on his fingerprints,
and it turns out
that he's married.
In fact, he's married
to somebody you know.
Who?
Your secretary.
Connie.
She introduced us.
It was all a plan.
They set you up.
He never loved me, did he?
Even in the beginning?
I'm sorry.
He never loved me.
It was only the money.
Well.
You get him.
I want him to pay.
Look, I give you my word.
I give you my word that we'll do
everything that's possible.
It'd better be enough
because, believe
me, I want him to hurt
the way he hurt me.
I thought he loved me.
(water sloshing)
Glen!
Glen, come on in!
The water's great!
Thanks, but I've got work to do.
Yeah, I bet you do.
You see, I've been
down at the bank
checking on Nancy's estate.
If you'll excuse me, Glen.
Sure.
See, we've got these
inheritance taxes to be paid.
Very little cash.
Well, that's because
Because all the accounts
have been cleaned out.
Everything's gone.
Liquidated.
I'm involved in a small deal.
You are, huh?
Audacity.
That's a quality
I've always admired.
That's enough. I don't have
to explain anything to you.
How about to the cops?
(water sloshing)
See, it wasn't
just a coincidence
that I ran into you at the bar.
You followed me there?
What kind of deal you making?
Huh. That's none
of your business.
'Cause I figure it's
not only illegal, it's big.
About a half
million dollars worth,
and that's exactly
what I can get
out of Nancy's San
Francisco account.
Great.
It's got nothing to do with me.
Oh, yes, it does. It
does if I go in with you.
I'll tell you what.
If the deal's
right, I'll invest.
Good old Nancy will make
us both rich. How about that?
Well, I still say it's got
nothing to do with me.
Didn't say you had to say yes.
Think about it.
You want what?!
Half a million dollars.
500,000 bucks.
I heard that; I just
couldn't believe it.
Have you lost your mind?
No, I haven't lost my mind.
Mr. McCabe, sir.
Shouting is bad for
I am not shouting.
This is a reasoned discussion!
Or it would be if
you weren't making
unreasonable requests.
Look, look, I need a
half a million dollars
if I'm going to get Glen
to let me in on this plan.
It's as simple as that.
It's awfully pretty, isn't it?
A half million.
There's nothing like it
unless it's about to
become a whole lot more.
Yeah. I
I think we might be
able to help each other.
What are relatives for?
You trust me?
Nancy trusted you,
and Nancy's dead.
I think I need a
little reassurance.
Like what the deal is.
(sighs)
Well, it's, um
it's real simple,
and it's secret.
And I'm real attached
to this money.
It's it's drugs,
and there should be
about a ten-to-one return.
When?
Soon.
When do I meet them?
Oh, you don't.
Hey, some things you
just have to take on trust.
(pats Jake)
Glen, something's going on.
What is it?
I found this floating
face down in my bathtub.
I don't get it. I do.
It's got to be Blair.
Why would he do
something like that, huh?
Maybe he figured it out.
Well, now, look.
There's no problem.
I can handle him, okay? Hmm?

Sir, he didn't exactly say gone.
Look, J.L., look at it as proof
that he's crooked, all right?
Proof?
Proof?
Yes.
You offer the man money
you claim you've
embezzled, and he takes it?
Well, the only thing
that that's proof of
is my stupidity in trusting
you with a half a m m
I can't even bring
myself to say the words.
It'll all tie together if
we catch him, all right?
We have no idea
where the rendezvous is
for this drug deal, and
without catching him in the act
we're out of business.
Proof, indeed.
Let me guess.
You're off to visit
the wonderful world
of Central America, right?
What are you doing here?
It's no coincidence.
I've been behind you ever
since you left the house.
Really? Yeah.
Is that supposed
to be flattering?
Huh? Oh, no, no.
(chuckles) Well, look.
Let's just say that
my intent is pressing.
Well, I'm sorry to be so boring.
I thought I'd check
on my travel plans
since my work with Nancy's
estate is almost finished.
Well, from what Glen tells me,
I'd say it's just beginning.
Please. I'm not very
good with riddles.
Okay, let's make a deal.
I'll tell you the truth
if you level with me.
I'll start.
The first clue is,
it didn't come out of
a cereal box, all right?
I'm almost impressed.
We know about
Glen's plan to buy dope.
We know that he had
help in killing Nancy.
We know that that help was you.
You need more spelling out?
Accessory, murder one.
That's quite a theory.
Now all you need is proof.
Next surprise.
We know that you
and Glen are married.
Anything else you
want to guess about,
you do it with my lawyer.
I'm giving you a
chance to get out.
You're holding up
all these people.
Isn't that at least
a misdemeanor?
Look, if you help us,
I know the D.A.
will cut you a deal.
You might not even
have to serve any time.
I'll send you a card
from Central America
maybe.
Glen?
Glen!
No. I'm not dead.
(chuckles)
Oh, Glen did his best,
but he had no idea of
what a strong swimmer I am.
You can put that
knife down, Nancy.
I didn't have anything
to do with this.
I swear.
You liar.
(screaming)
Now Glen and I are even.
(tires screeching)
How's it going?
You almost finished?
We're just counting the money.
Glen can't make it.
I'm taking the shipment.
You're crazy.
Hardly. Glen and I are
equal partners in this.
Listen, I don't
have time for this.
You talk to him.
Glen.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were dead.
What are you talking about?
Glen, Nancy is alive.
Alive? She's alive.
And she killed some
guy at the house.
I thought it was
She can't be alive.
I saw her go in the water.
It's a setup.
A setup? What do
you mean, setup?
Damn it! Blair is a cop!
Then they know about the deal.
What?
He had a half a
million dollars in cash.
How would I know?
Idiot!
Police! Hold it right there!
Aren't family reunions fun?
I'm so glad we stayed close.
It was a trick.
All of it!
All except the part about
you testifying against Glen.
You play your cards right,
you still may get
a chance at that.
Get them out of here.
J.L.: Aren't you
going to compliment
Nancy on her
performance at the house?
I thought she was brilliant.
(laughs)
You know, I didn't think
I did too bad, either.
Hmm? Oh, uh yeah.
You were all right.
Come on. Let's go.
I'll say this about the
Fatman: he's a sweet guy.
Listen creep, I'm going to
take you apart like a clock.
JAKE: He can be
tough when he has to be.
J.L.: Jake Styles?
Don't ask me how
he can live the way he
does on a cop's salary.
Some people do seem
to like him, however.
But he's a damn good
investigator, and he's mine.
(theme playing)
He's a good guy.
Don't you forget it.

BAILIFF: Do you swear
to tell the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the
truth, so help you, God?
I do.
Now, Miss Parsons,
will you state your name
for the record, please?
Nancy Parsons.
Now, Miss Parsons, I want
you to think very carefully
and tell the court
exactly what you saw
the night of September 27th?
I was at my beach
house at County Line.
After dinner, I went
for a walk on the beach.
And what time was that?
I left the house at 11:00.
I know that because
my houseguests were just
starting to watch the news.
Now, on your walk, did
you see anything unusual?
Yes.
I was passing the
McDevitts' house.
They live six houses
down the beach from me.
What did you see?
I saw Mr. McDevitt in the
bedroom with Mrs. McDevitt.
J.L.: How far from them
were you when you saw them?
I was on the sand.
Um, their house is right
on the edge of the seawall,
so I was about 25 feet away.
And what did you see?
I Mr. McDevitt was
strangling Mrs. McDevitt.
He was choking her.
Her head was over
the edge of the bed,
and he had both
hands on her throat
and was shaking her
head up and down.
What did you do?
I screamed, and then
I ran back to my house
and we called the police.
Thank you.
No further questions
at this time, Your Honor.
Cross-examine?
Yes, Your Honor.
Miss Parsons, how much had
you been drinking that evening?
I hadn't had anything.
I don't drink alcohol.
Why is that?
Objection: Relevance.
I'll rephrase, Your Honor.
You don't drink because you
take medication, isn't that correct?
Yes.
Why do you take this medication?
Objection, Your Honor.
If the defense wants
to explore side effects
from the medication that might
impair the witness's perception,
that's one thing,
but the reason
for the medication
is completely irrelevant.
I'll allow it.
The witness will answer.
Why are you taking
this medication?
It's an antidepressant.
Isn't it true, Miss Parsons,
that you are mentally ill?
No, I'm not.
ATTORNEY: Isn't it
true that on two occasions
you've been hospitalized
for severe depression?
After my father died,
I went away for a rest.
Isn't it true that you've
been diagnosed as suicidal?
Objection!
This is highly prejudicial
and totally irrelevant!
Withdraw the question.
May I answer that
question, please?
No further questions.
Redirect, Mr. McCabe?
Very definitely, Your Honor.
Nancy,
I'd like to give you a chance
to tell us what it is
you wanted to say.
It's true. I've had
emotional problems.
I knew I did, and I
went to a doctor for help.
I'm not ashamed of that.
Mr. McCabe said that it wouldn't
be easy coming here today
because of what
people might think,
but I wanted to because
I know what I saw,
and what I saw was
Mr. McDevitt strangling his wife.
Thank you, Nancy.
Thank you very much.
No further questions,
Your Honor.
You may step down.
Court is adjourned
for a 15-minute recess.
That was a good and
brave thing you did, Nancy.
I wanted to.
I mean, we all have to help
or it doesn't work, does it?
That's right. It doesn't.
Glen!
Glen!
I wanted to thank
you for coming today,
but when I looked, you'd gone.
I came back.
What a great surprise.
I, uh, I don't think so.
Not for me, anyway.
What do you mean?
I came to, uh, say good-bye.
What?
No, let me finish.
Don't look at me like that.
It's tough enough saying this.
You're going away?
I'm taking the
oil job in Mexico.
Nancy, it's the only way.
Why?
I love you, and you
say you love me.
Oh, I do.
I do love you.
It's because I love
you that I'm leaving.
I don't understand.
I mean, how could
this be happening?
Because girls with
your kind of money
don't marry boys
as poor as I am.
Or at least as proud.
Are you all right?
No.
No, I'm not.
He's not worth it.
That doesn't help,
but you know I'm right.
He's the only man I've ever
been completely in love with.
Honey, I like to think of myself
as more than just
your secretary.
I'm your friend.
But if you really
want him that badly,
go after him.
Now by the power vested in
me by the State of California,
I pronounce you
husband and wife.
J.L. (laughing): Hey!
Good, good.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Oh, thank you so much
for being our witness.
Ah
And on such short notice.
It was my pleasure,
I assure you.
Will you stop sniveling?
Oh, thank you.
To the bride and the groom.
You will take good
care of her, won't you?
Oh, I will.
Much happiness to you both.
Oh, you don't have to wish it.
I absolutely know we will be.
(laughing)
Oh, wait.
Oh!
Good morning.
Looks like I missed the sunrise.
Don't you know that crew
members who sleep this late
get keelhauled?
How about I just make
us breakfast instead?
Take the wheel for a sec, okay?
Okay.

You've got to keep looking.
She could still be out there!
Mr. Latimer, we found the
boat almost 20 miles out.
I'd be lying if I
gave you any hope.
You can't just quit!
She's got to be alive.
Mr. Latimer
I find that highly
inappropriate.
Celebrating?
(both laugh)
Celebrating alone, that is.
(engine stops)
I don't understand.
Why didn't Glen
come back for me?
I can't answer that.
Did anyone know that you
were going sailing with Glen?
No one. We
We just decided to go.
Anyone see him in
the boat with you?
No.
We got on board
the night before,
and Glen stayed below
until we got out to sea.
Why?
I was just wondering.
I just can't believe that I
I don't understand. Why?
That's what I'd
like to find out.
And so would you, Nancy,
or you would've had them
call for him instead of me.
I'm so confused.
Look, you've been
through an awful lot.
Let me look into this
and you just try to
get some rest, all right?
I still love him.
Yes, I know.
I'm very tired.
You get some sleep.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
And don't you worry
I promise to you that
I will do my very best
to see that everything
comes out all right, okay?
Thank you.
Now get some sleep.
J.L.: The young woman is one
of the richest
heiresses in town.
She marries this man that she's
known for less than two months.
You know, Vale's
reporting a 60-inch base.
I heard they may even
open the back bowls.
Maybe I'll take
those power skis.
(chuckles)
You know, I was a
hotdogger when I was a kid.
Really? (laughing): Oh, yeah.
Anyway, the young woman
and her new husband go out
on her sailboat and he
pushes her overboard.
Not a witness in ten miles.
It's a perfect crime.
I think I will take
those power skis.
The only surprise is
she's a powerful swimmer
and she manages to stay
afloat until a boat picks her up,
and now, here comes the part
that you're really
going to find fascinating.
I mean, fascinating.
The wife does not
want to prosecute.
She's still in
love with the guy,
wants me to find
out what happened.
Well, I know damn well what will
happen if she goes back to him.
That creep is
going to try it again,
and next time he'll succeed.
What are you after?
Look, Jake, what I need
is someone on the inside,
someone who can get
close to the husband.
Get the evidence we
need to nail the son of a
J.L., I haven't had a
vacation in three years,
and this is the only week
that my friend's house is empty.
Well, I'll send Derek in.
He's dying to go
undercover, anyway.
Oh, perfect. He'll
fool everybody.
Jake!
What?
This is the girl who testified for
me in the McDevitt murder trial.
Hell, she won the case for me.
The defense bludgeoned
her, and she knew they would,
but she came through
for me, anyway.
Oh, you're saying you
owe her then, right?
That's what I'm saying.
Perfect. Then you go undercover.
Jake, the girl's father
gave his life to good works.
Hell, he practically
built the medical center.
Look, J.L., I don't give a damn
if he built a retirement home
for the old prosecutors.
The answer is still no.
I'm not talking
about cancellation.
Haven't you ever
heard of postponement?
No, not from you.
We're talking about 48
hours tops to save a life, huh?
I've got to nail this down
before she's able
to leave the hospital.
We've got 48 hours before
this creep husband of hers
knows she's alive.
No.
You know, Jake, I'm no softie,
but if anything
happens to this girl
it'll break my heart.
Stop it.
Stop it right now.
Don't try to make me feel guilty
because it's not going to work.
Jake.
(dog barking in distance)
Yes?
I am so sorry to
hear about your loss.
Well, I guess I
should say our loss.
Nancy was pretty remarkable.
Who are you?
She never mentioned me?
I'm her brother.
Well, actually, I'm
her half-brother.
I, uh, I flew down as
soon as the police told me.
May I come in?
Of course.
Thank you so much.
Please come in.
I-I'm sorry. I don't
know your name.
Uh Blair Parsons.
My mother was wife number one.
After the divorce, Mom and
I moved to San Francisco.
It's strange.
Nancy never mentioned
she had a brother.
Yeah. Well, after Dad died,
things were a little tense
over the will, you know.
Listen, do you think I could
get me a sandwich and a beer?
Uh Traveling really
knocks it out of me.
(stammering) Thanks. Okay.
So, you said that the
police informed you?
Yeah. Well
Oh, boy, I am beat.
Yeah, I'm her only relative.
Listen, tell me all
about your marriage.
How long were you
two together, anyway?
Well, I met Nancy
just a few months ago,
but I'd never known
anybody like her.
She was so bright and loving.
No one had ever loved
me the way she did.
Yeah. Well, Nancy
could be real determined.
Personally, I found
her a little hard to take,
but then again, I wasn't
in love with her, so
I've got the
insurance forms for
Hi. How are you?
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize
you had company.
Connie, this is Blair
Parsons, Nancy's brother
from San Francisco.
Hi.
I'm Connie, Nancy's secretary.
You're her brother?
Well, I'm her half-brother.
Forgive me.
I'm sorry to seem so confused.
It's just well, she
never mentioned you.
Well, I guess we were
a very private family.
Of course.
Please accept my condolences.
Sure. Thank you.
Blair, how long are you
going to be in town for?
Well, my plans
I think I'll be here
for a few days.
I've got some
business to take care of.
You know, I'm an
executor of Nancy's estate.
Really? I thought the bank was.
No, I'm taking care of
her holdings up north.
You see, if you thought
her father had money,
you should see the other side.
Boy, they've got megabucks,
if you know what I mean.
If I could be of help
in any way, I'd be
Do you mind if I stay here?
I mean, I could go to a hotel
or something, but since
we're family, I figured
No, no. You should stay here.
Good. Thank you.
Listen, don't mind me.
I'll just go upstairs and
find an empty room, okay?
Thank you.
(clears throat)
I just want you to know that
I know exactly how you feel.
I feel the same pain.
Do you believe him?
About Nancy's
mother having money?
I know the whole family
Whether he's her brother or not.
Glen, someone
shows up at the door
and says he's a relative,
and you invite him to move in.
What am I supposed
to do? Ask for photo ID?
We've got to think.
If he's legit, then we don't
want to make him mad,
because he could get suspicious.
But if he's a fake
Yeah. He could be
out to steal Nancy's
(chuckles) I mean, my money.
Our money.
Nancy told me everything.
I mean, you don't
know the hours I spent
listening to her childhood.
I don't remember anything
about any half-brothers.
Half-brother.
We can't afford for you
to be even half wrong.
Mr. Cooley, please.
You're calling Nancy's lawyer?
Hi, Grace.
This is Connie, Nancy Latimer's
secretary, for Mr. Cooley.
Be careful. Don't
give anything away.
Mr. Cooley.
Thank you for taking my call.
No, no, no, not taxes.
Well, something's come up
that's taken me by surprise,
and, well, you know
how protective I am.
Well, someone has shown up
who claims to be
Nancy's half-brother.
Blair Parsons?
I was wondering about
the sandwich and the beer?
Who's that?
Oh, Connie's calling
Nancy's lawyer.
Oh, Cooley? Oh,
let me talk to him.
Yeah, let me.
Hello. Hello.
Cooley, hey. Mr. Cooley, hey.
Blair Parsons, how are you?
Yeah, I thought that
was forgotten about.
Uh-huh.
Well, look, if that's your
attitude about that situation,
then I guess I could
just get the court
to appoint another
trustee. How about that?
I'm sorry.
There was a little
misunderstanding
about some check I
wrote against my trust fund.
Damn lawyers.
Hell, you would think
it was his money.
Well, Mr. Cooley
is very conservative,
and that's why
Nancy trusted him.
He was very helpful
in settling the estate.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I came right in here,
you were on the phone,
I interrupted, I grabbed
it out of your hand.
I hung the phone
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt
like that. I'll call back.
I'm sorry. I
apologize. I'm really
Listen, when you call him
back, could you apologize for me?
I would really
appreciate it, okay?
Thank you so much. Okay.
GLEN: Yes. Of course,
I've got the money.
Absolutely.
Tell him you want to meet him.
We should get together.
Tonight. Tonight.
Some place public like a bar
or a restaurant I know that!
Uh say 11:00 at the
bar over by the arroyo?
(whistles)
Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.
Am I interrupting something?
No. You sure?
Absolutely not. No.
Glen's just talking
to his mother
about the memorial
service for Nancy.
Oh. Well, I was going to get
a piece of that chocolate cake
that I saw back here
in the refrigerator.
(whistling tune)
That that's perfect.
Right. Good, good.
You want a piece? No, thanks.
This is good stuff.
You know, I'm a chocolaholic.
You know that?
Best way you eat it
right off the plate.
I can imagine.
No, wait, wait. I thought
that was all settled.
Would you like
some milk with that?
No. No, this is fine.
It's perfect just the
way it is. Thank you.
No, that's not right.
That is not acceptable.
Could you hand me that napkin?
We'll see.
Right.
You have to give
me all the details.
About the memorial service.
I'm sure there's
probably something
that I may want to contribute.
Of course.
I'm calling the San
Francisco police
and getting a
full report on him.
We're talking quality
merchandise here.
You understand,
it's once in a lifetime.
That's why I'm
paying top dollar.
No.
That's why you're
giving me an advance
on my commission tonight.
JAKE: Glen!
Hey! I thought that was you.
You mind if I borrow this chair?
Thank you.
Listen, what a coincidence, huh?
Come in here for a quick drink,
I look across the
room, I say to myself,
"It can't be," and it is. How
you doing? Hi. How are you?
This is Blair Parsons,
my brother-in-law.
Hi. How are you?
Look, I don't believe
I got the name.
My sympathy for
your sister's death.
Oh, thank you very
much. Yes, a terrible shock.
It really is, but I'll
tell you something.
Glen here is doing a great
thing; he's getting out there
with friends, putting
it all behind him.
You know, I think
that's really terrific, and I
really admire that, by the way.
I'll say good night.
Good night.
Something I said?
No.
You're here and you're
trying to do private business
with yourself and
I come in here, open my
big mouth like I own the place
and I am so sorry.
I didn't even think.
We-we were just finishing.
No, look. I Let
me go apologize.
I'll be right back.
(car accelerating)
You're certainly out late.
I was just, uh
I was visiting our
neighborhood bar.
May I be direct, Blair?
I'm a tough guy. Try me.
You're so different from Nancy.
It's hard for me to
believe that you're related,
much less brother and sister.
You sound like you
knew her pretty well.
I was more than
just her secretary.
I was also her nurse.
Is that so?
You sound surprised.
Well, like I said, we're
a very private family.
Well, you knew about
her problem, of course.
Well, if you're talking
about the depression,
yeah, I knew about that.
That's an understatement.
Why do you think
there isn't a single door in
this house with a lock on it?
You trying to tell me that
my sister tried suicide?
Only about once a month.
That's why Glen was
so very good for her.
How did she meet him?
You know, you kind of
caught me by surprise here,
swimming without
my suit on. Mm-hmm.
My robe is on the chaise.
You were about to tell me
how Glen and Nancy met.
I was a matchmaker.
Oh.
I knew Glen
casually, and I thought
they'd be perfect together.
And I was right.
She was so happy the
whole time they were together.
If you were a gentleman,
you'd hand me my robe.
Well, if you were a lady, honey,
you wouldn't have called me
over here with no clothes on.
Glen, Blair, this is
District Attorney McCabe
and his assistant,
Derek Mitchell.
How are you? Hi. Hi.
Please, join us.
Thank you very much.
My, uh, sincerest
sympathy, Mr. Latimer.
Thank you.
I don't believe I
know who you are, sir.
Oh, Blair is my
wife's half-brother.
I just flew in from San
Francisco. Is anything wrong?
Well, I don't know
whether I should
Oh, no. It's fine.
You can say anything
you want in front of him.
I see.
Well, as a matter of fact,
everything isn't all right.
I have reason to believe
that there's been foul
play in your wife's death.
What does that mean?
Plain and simple
Murder.
DEREK: We don't think your wife
was alone on the boat, sir.
Of course she was.
She said she was
going out alone.
J.L.: We found bloodstains
and traces of skin
on the boom as
sufficient trace evidence
to believe someone
else was aboard.
What do you think happened?
Whoever was with her
pushed her overboard,
then left her.
Derek.
Mr. Latimer, for the record,
where were you at the time
that your wife went
out on the boat?
Now, wait just a damn minute.
No, no, no, no. It's, it's fine.
JAKE: No, no. It's not fine.
Who the hell do
you think you are
to come in here and accuse
my brother-in-law of murder?
I'm not accusing anyone yet.
What I can and will do
is investigate this matter
as completely as the
facts and the law tell me to.
Let me tell you something.
He's destroyed by
my sister's death,
and I'm damned if I'm
gonna let you and your partner
come in here and
make him feel worse.
I think that's enough,
and unless you
want to be charged
with obstructing
this investigation,
I suggest you
stay out of my way.
I'll be inside the
house if you need me.
(clears throat)
I, uh I apologize for Blair.
No, don't bother.
Mr. Latimer, you never finished
telling us where
you were at the time.
Yes, that's right, Mr. Latimer.
I was here.
I mean, C-Connie
can vouch for me.
Really?
Well. Huh.
I guess that answers that.
Thank you, sir. Good day.
Thank you.
McCabe knows.
He's guessing.
About the blood.
About someone else
being on the boat.
I'm telling you
He figured it out.
So what if he has?
If he suspects anybody,
it's your brother-in-law.
What if he finds out
about the money?
Darling, sweetheart,
you're okay.
There is no proof.
There is no proof.
Do you hear me?
You're safe.
We have each other,
and you are safe.
You are perfectly safe. Okay?
Okay? It's okay.
You'll be safe here.
It's private.
Nobody can reach you.
You don't really think
that Glen would Nancy.
I talked to your banker,
and your husband's
withdrawing money.
Glen's entitled to do that.
He can sign on all my accounts.
Yes, but he's cleaning you out.
He's taking everything.
He's even mortgaging your home.
You're not saying that's
proof that he tried to kill me?
(sighs)
Well, at the best,
it's circumstantial,
but like you say, he's
got every right to do it.
There's something else.
Tell me.
We ran a check
on his fingerprints,
and it turns out
that he's married.
In fact, he's married
to somebody you know.
Who?
Your secretary.
Connie.
She introduced us.
It was all a plan.
They set you up.
He never loved me, did he?
Even in the beginning?
I'm sorry.
He never loved me.
It was only the money.
Well.
You get him.
I want him to pay.
Look, I give you my word.
I give you my word that we'll do
everything that's possible.
It'd better be enough
because, believe
me, I want him to hurt
the way he hurt me.
I thought he loved me.
(water sloshing)
Glen!
Glen, come on in!
The water's great!
Thanks, but I've got work to do.
Yeah, I bet you do.
You see, I've been
down at the bank
checking on Nancy's estate.
If you'll excuse me, Glen.
Sure.
See, we've got these
inheritance taxes to be paid.
Very little cash.
Well, that's because
Because all the accounts
have been cleaned out.
Everything's gone.
Liquidated.
I'm involved in a small deal.
You are, huh?
Audacity.
That's a quality
I've always admired.
That's enough. I don't have
to explain anything to you.
How about to the cops?
(water sloshing)
See, it wasn't
just a coincidence
that I ran into you at the bar.
You followed me there?
What kind of deal you making?
Huh. That's none
of your business.
'Cause I figure it's
not only illegal, it's big.
About a half
million dollars worth,
and that's exactly
what I can get
out of Nancy's San
Francisco account.
Great.
It's got nothing to do with me.
Oh, yes, it does. It
does if I go in with you.
I'll tell you what.
If the deal's
right, I'll invest.
Good old Nancy will make
us both rich. How about that?
Well, I still say it's got
nothing to do with me.
Didn't say you had to say yes.
Think about it.
You want what?!
Half a million dollars.
500,000 bucks.
I heard that; I just
couldn't believe it.
Have you lost your mind?
No, I haven't lost my mind.
Mr. McCabe, sir.
Shouting is bad for
I am not shouting.
This is a reasoned discussion!
Or it would be if
you weren't making
unreasonable requests.
Look, look, I need a
half a million dollars
if I'm going to get Glen
to let me in on this plan.
It's as simple as that.
It's awfully pretty, isn't it?
A half million.
There's nothing like it
unless it's about to
become a whole lot more.
Yeah. I
I think we might be
able to help each other.
What are relatives for?
You trust me?
Nancy trusted you,
and Nancy's dead.
I think I need a
little reassurance.
Like what the deal is.
(sighs)
Well, it's, um
it's real simple,
and it's secret.
And I'm real attached
to this money.
It's it's drugs,
and there should be
about a ten-to-one return.
When?
Soon.
When do I meet them?
Oh, you don't.
Hey, some things you
just have to take on trust.
(pats Jake)
Glen, something's going on.
What is it?
I found this floating
face down in my bathtub.
I don't get it. I do.
It's got to be Blair.
Why would he do
something like that, huh?
Maybe he figured it out.
Well, now, look.
There's no problem.
I can handle him, okay? Hmm?

(gun cocks)
(boat engine starting)
Are you telling me that a
half a million dollars is gone?
Sir, he didn't exactly say gone.
Look, J.L., look at it as proof
that he's crooked, all right?
Proof?
Proof?
Yes.
You offer the man money
you claim you've
embezzled, and he takes it?
Well, the only thing
that that's proof of
is my stupidity in trusting
you with a half a m m
I can't even bring
myself to say the words.
It'll all tie together if
we catch him, all right?
We have no idea
where the rendezvous is
for this drug deal, and
without catching him in the act
we're out of business.
Proof, indeed.
Let me guess.
You're off to visit
the wonderful world
of Central America, right?
What are you doing here?
It's no coincidence.
I've been behind you ever
since you left the house.
Really? Yeah.
Is that supposed
to be flattering?
Huh? Oh, no, no.
(chuckles) Well, look.
Let's just say that
my intent is pressing.
Well, I'm sorry to be so boring.
I thought I'd check
on my travel plans
since my work with Nancy's
estate is almost finished.
Well, from what Glen tells me,
I'd say it's just beginning.
Please. I'm not very
good with riddles.
Okay, let's make a deal.
I'll tell you the truth
if you level with me.
I'll start.
The first clue is,
it didn't come out of
a cereal box, all right?
I'm almost impressed.
We know about
Glen's plan to buy dope.
We know that he had
help in killing Nancy.
We know that that help was you.
You need more spelling out?
Accessory, murder one.
That's quite a theory.
Now all you need is proof.
Next surprise.
We know that you
and Glen are married.
Anything else you
want to guess about,
you do it with my lawyer.
I'm giving you a
chance to get out.
You're holding up
all these people.
Isn't that at least
a misdemeanor?
Look, if you help us,
I know the D.A.
will cut you a deal.
You might not even
have to serve any time.
I'll send you a card
from Central America
maybe.
Glen?
Glen!
No. I'm not dead.
(chuckles)
Oh, Glen did his best,
but he had no idea of
what a strong swimmer I am.
You can put that
knife down, Nancy.
I didn't have anything
to do with this.
I swear.
You liar.
(screaming)
Now Glen and I are even.
(tires screeching)
How's it going?
You almost finished?
We're just counting the money.
Glen can't make it.
I'm taking the shipment.
You're crazy.
Hardly. Glen and I are
equal partners in this.
Listen, I don't
have time for this.
You talk to him.
Glen.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were dead.
What are you talking about?
Glen, Nancy is alive.
Alive? She's alive.
And she killed some
guy at the house.
I thought it was
She can't be alive.
I saw her go in the water.
It's a setup.
A setup? What do
you mean, setup?
Damn it! Blair is a cop!
Then they know about the deal.
What?
He had a half a
million dollars in cash.
How would I know?
Idiot!
Police! Hold it right there!
Aren't family reunions fun?
I'm so glad we stayed close.
It was a trick.
All of it!
All except the part about
you testifying against Glen.
You play your cards right,
you still may get
a chance at that.
Get them out of here.
J.L.: Aren't you
going to compliment
Nancy on her
performance at the house?
I thought she was brilliant.
(laughs)
You know, I didn't think
I did too bad, either.
Hmm? Oh, uh yeah.
You were all right.
Come on. Let's go.
