04x22 - Willing Victims

Post by bunniefuu »

[male narrator] In "Knots Landing"

Val had confessed to Ciji's m*rder.

[Abby laughing]

- Why are you laughing? - It's so Val.

It's just the kind of thing she'd do.

[male narrator] It was just like Val to still protect Gary.

But you didn't k*ll Ciji.

[Nick] 'He's living with another woman, right?'

What makes you think he put his butt on the line

'to save you?'

He must still love me.

- What's she doing here? - Gary?

[male narrator] Was Gary protecting her?

[indistinct shouting]

[male narrator] If Gary didn't care what happened to him

Abby had a plan for her future.

[Abby] 'Mitch feels that if I had power of attorney--'

- Is this it? - Yeah.

[male narrator] Abby was grabbing

as much control as she could

over Gary's money.

This is a plot on Val's part to get Gary back.

[male narrator] She was not about to give up anything.

[Mitch] 'Abby, you got to decide what you want more.'

Gary and Val apart... Gary out of jail.

[male narrator] And now..

[instrumental music]

[birds chirping]

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

[door opens]

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

[sighs] They make Val sound like a criminal.

- That's because she's famous. - The famous.

Everybody at school always asks me

about Gary and Val.

Do you think Gary did it, Mack?

[instrumental music]

[Michael] Yeah, what do you think, Mack?

What do I think?

[instrumental music]

No.

But my opinion doesn't count anyway.

[Mack] 'Gary's in a lot of trouble.'

At least Val's okay.

[cutlery clanking]

[instrumental music]

[tires screeching]

[male #1] Wake up, lady.

Daddy, I finished.

- Where's daddy? - Well, daddy's not here.

What-what did you finish?

Its composition, he helped me do it.

Yeah, well, come here, read it to me.

- Come on. - Okay.

"The best time I ever had by Jason Avery.

"Many years ago, when I was just little

"my parents took me to South Hampton

"for a summer vacation.

"It was a great summer

"my daddy taught me how to swim.

[instrumental music]

[paper crinkling]

Here's where you'll find rooms to let.

Actually, I was looking for the New York weather report.

[paper crinkling]

- Morning, mama. - Morning, sugar.

- Excuse me. - Good. Run, Val.

That's where it belongs.

Oh, honey, why hurt yourself?

Val, Lilimae's right

the information in that article

is inaccurate and incomplete.

What you need is to get away from all this.

Hey, a vacation.

Why don't we all go away on vacation?

[keypad clicking]

Hello, Karen?

[Val] 'Uh, yeah, I'm fine.'

'Um, listen, is Mack there?'

Oh, well, that's okay then..

...I'll just get him at the office.

Yeah, I'm fine, honest.

I love you too, bye-bye.

Valene...Valene you have done enough for him.

[door closes]

The point is, Gary, that the preliminary hearing

comes up in two days.

[Mitch] 'That's when we go before the judge'

'to discredit the DA's case against you.'

You see, they have to present everything they have

openly to the court.

And it's at that point that I get a chance

'to challenge all their evidence'

'and to cross examine each witness.'

It's a very one sided process.

They have to prove you're guilty.

We don't have to prove you're not guilty.

'But there's something else you should know, Gary.'

You're a very big part of this.

[knocking]

'If we go in there strong and self-assured'

it will have a positive effect on the judge's opinion.

Gary, listen to us.

[Abby] 'Pleading not guilty means acting not guilty.'

I will never be not guilty.

Ga..

You think he's innocent, don't you?

Maybe.

Oh, you also think the judge at the hearing

is going to throw the DA's case out of court, don't you?

Look, you say I think he's innocent.

So, am I the jury?

Listen, Mack, if the judge doesn't throw this case out

if this case goes to trial, what do you think

the jury's going to see, huh?

They're going to see a guy who's a millionaire

a Texas Ewing, who's a drunk.

A guy who two years ago got involved in a case

with gangsters that cost his boss

your wife's first husband, his life.

- What does that got-- - Wait a minute, let me finish.

- I'm being the jury now, okay? - You're doing good.

- Alright. - Fire away.

I see a drunk who left his wife for one lady

then got involved with another lady who's now dead.

I see a guy who-who got arrested two weeks ago for being drunk.

And then I'm going to listen to the arresting officer

tell me how violent he was.

Violent enough to k*ll.

Now face it, Mack, this case goes to trial.

The jury's going to love putting him away.

Yeah, if they find him guilty and the D.A has no case.

You may think it's a weak case, the defense is even weaker.

That's not the way it works.

Guilt has to be proven.

Nobody has to prove that you're innocent.

- That's the system. - The system?

I'm not sure Gary Ewing belongs on the street

because whether he k*lled Ciji or not

he's dangerous.

That's not what I'm to ask you for.

Yeah, and if they let him out?

Well, you're not listening to what I need.

It won't be long before he gets drunk again

and maybe k*ll somebody else.

Pay attention to what I'm asking you.

Maybe not with a g*n or a knife.

Maybe just with his Rolls Royce.

So if the system puts him away, then good for the system.

It works.

[birds chirping]

- Val? - Yeah.

Look who I found.

- Hi. - Hi.

Um...send me away if I'm interrupting.

Oh, is that pretty? Isn't this pretty?

- Hmm. - What's the occasion?

- Don't do this to me, Karen. - Don't do what to you?

You know good and well that I'm going to see Mack.

My Mack?

I'm sorry, I-I-I guess I shouldn't be kidding around.

It's just that I-I want to help you

and I don't know what to do.

Well, Karen tried doing nothing.

I'm your friend, dammit, I've got to do something.

You've got to let us help, sweet--

Mama, you cannot help, not the way that you want.

[sighs]

Both of you, I wish you would try to understand.

I love Gary because I have shared my life with him

and he's a part of me, mama and nothing you're going to do

is going to ever change that.

I understand that, Val--

Wait, wait, wait, Karen

I know that he doesn't love me

'but that's not the issue.'

That's not what I'm talking about.

He is in jail, and I can't stand the thought of him

being there for something I know that he didn't do.

Now I am going to see Mack so that I can find out

if there's anything that I can do

that Abby can't or won't.

[door closes]

Should we postpone the hearing, Mitch?

[Mitch] No, they're the ones that need the time to prepare, we don't.

Does Gary have to be at the hearing?

Yes.

Is his state of mind going to affect the judge?

[Mitch] Absolutely.

Oh, his state of mind might improve

if we get him out on bail.

If we get him out, he'll drink.

How do you know?

He's given up.

You give him his freedom now, and he'll be drunk in an hour.

Can't Gary be declared incompetent to stand trial?

No.

[wind gusting]

Look..

...what if we volunteer to institutionalize it?

Could that reduce his bail?

No.

You pay bail and he's yours.

I don't care what you do with him.

I don't think we're going to go to trial.

[Mitch] 'I think we're gonna win at that hearing.'

- But if we do go to trial? - We'll win at that level.

If we don't..

- Look-- - Hypothetical.

Alright, if we go to trial..

...the charge will be reduced to manslaughter.

And if we lose..

...six years

And good behavior would reduce that to three, right?

Could those three years be served in a sanitarium?

No, prison.

[exhaling deeply]

I'm-I'm sorry.

I must be driving you nuts, I'm just nervous.

Don't be, I'm pretty sure Gary will be free

the day after tomorrow.

[Ginger] Kenny will be running Munson's Nashville studio

producing records, developing new talent.

Including Ginger Ward, I hope.

You know, that's where Kenny really floored me

after listening to Munson's offer..

...all that money, a house in Nashville.

I mean, it's the kind of offer you dream about

Kenny said, okay, Munson, no deal unless it includes

a record contract for Ginger.

- What did Munson say? - He said, of course.

That goes without saying.

[Ginger] 'You know, I think if he had heard me first..'

...I bet he would have been behind me the whole time.

Oh, it's so terrific, it's so terrific.

Thank you.

- There's only one drawback. - What?

It'll mean moving from here.

Huh, I don't know if that's much of a drawback.

Okay, mommy.

[Laura] 'Your old neighborhood is not what it used to be.'

Problem?

Uh, per our conversation..

...Richard cashed in one of his insurance policies.

Payable to Laura Avery to cover restaurant debts.

I don't-I don't know what this is about.

Why don't you ask Richard?

Oh, I will as soon as I can find him.

[Ginger] 'Isn't he at Daniel?'

He wasn't when I called there earlier.

[Laura] 'He and I, uh..'

Same old problem?

Well, no, actually, ever since Ciji died

he's really been trying hard.

Just that I haven't been very helpful.

It's awkward, you know?

He didn't even come to bed last night.

Well, I'll just, uh, I'll call him later tonight

at the restaurant.

You may not join his wife in bed

but he wouldn't miss dinner at Daniel.

I'm sure there's some explanation, right?

[babbling]

[instrumental music]

- Baby. - Baby.

- How good is his lawyer? - 'Mitch Casey?'

[Mack] 'Very good.'

Is he working for Gary or Abby?

What do you mean?

I mean that she seems

to have a way of calling the shots.

[Mack] Casey's better than that.

Could I possibly hire another attorney?

Let me tell you something, Val. The best attorney in the country

can't defend his client if his client won't let him.

Gary's his own worst enemy.

He's got to open up and help defend himself.

Well, they just don't understand him.

I know him even after everything that's happened.

I know him better than anybody.

You got to try and see him.

Somebody's got to get through to him.

Sure.

[Val] Get through to him.

Yesterday we had a an encounter.

No correction, it wasn't an encounter.

It was a... a collision, like an expl*si*n.

When he saw me, he went into a rage.

He said, get out of here, get out of my life.

Stay away from me, stay..

[instrumental music]

I got through to him.

[instrumental music]

[Abby] Gary.

Honey.

I know time probably stands still for you in here

but we're working on everything

as fast as we can.

The bail money's almost set.

Um, there might be a...a stipulation

'attached to the bank loan, though.'

[Abby] 'The loan agreement may require you'

'to temporarily board at a medical facility'

'for-for health reasons.'

We're working on other loans, of course, but..

...well, we'll see.

[sighs]

Anyway, both of us could probably use

a good rest about now, don't you think?

[machine beeping]

[male #1] 'There's another visitor to see Mr. Ewing.'

'Mrs. Valene Ewing.'

No.

No, no, can you hear me?

[Abby] 'No.'

'Mr. Ewing does not want to see Mrs. Ewing.'

'Not now, not ever.'

Hello?

He doesn't want to see her, not now, not ever.

Hello!

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Mrs. Ewing, I'm Mitchell Casey, I'm Gary's lawyer.

- Oh. - I'm terribly sorry.

But Gary doesn't want to see you.

Seems you have a way of unsettling him.

You remind him of a very unhappy period in his past.

It's best for Gary that you stay away.

- Is-is there-- - I'm terribly sorry.

[instrumental music]

[phone ringing]

Hello.

[Jeffrey] 'Mrs. Avery, Jeffrey.'

I'm sorry to bother you at home but I was wondering

if I could have a word with Mr. Avery.

- 'Oh, isn't he there?' - No.

- Was he there? - No, he hasn't been here.

[Jeffrey] 'I was hoping he was on his way.'

No, I-I-I mean earlier.

No, and we have to put away the pears.

Are you sure?

[Jeffrey] 'Mrs. Avery, he has not been here.'

'And we have strict instructions not to put away'

'any of the produce until Mr. Avery checks it.'

[cutlery clanking]

The pears, Mrs. Avery.

Uh, Jeffrey, just put the pears away yourself, okay?

[Laura] 'Do the best you can, you're in charge now.'

[fingers snapping]

[cutlery clanking]

[instrumental music]

[Laura] Just doesn't make sense, it does make sense.

[Mack] But you've been telling him to leave.

And don't you see that he used that?

Oh, God, to think I was feeling sorry for him, for being so

so helpful and so sweet after she died.

- 'After he k*lled her.' - Come on, Laura.

[Laura] 'He did k*ll her, but he kept his head.'

See, because he knew if he ran away

they would come after him.

So he just waited, and then Gary was arrested.

Oh, God, what a break for him.

And then he just took care of everything.

Fixed the garage door, fix the drainpipe.

Paid off his debt to Daniel, he was being so considerate.

You're not even sure he's gone.

[Laura] 'I am sure.'

[baby crying]

He's gone, alright and I want him caught.

And I want to help you get him.

[Karen] Laura, you're talking about Richard.

Don't tell me who I'm talking about!

I'm talking about a man who held his pregnant wife

and his son at gunpoint for 17 hours.

[Laura] 'I have lived with that man.'

I've lived through the nervous breakdown, the suicide notes.

I've listened to him railing at the world for all his troubles--

[Mack] But, Laura!

I know what I'm talking about.

Laura, you're talking about a m*rder*r?

Yes.

[baby crying]

[instrumental music]

That was quick.

She was pooped.

[chuckles] Every day at the nursery.

[instrumental music]

I think she's going to miss all her little friends.

She has ways of making new ones.

Yeah, that she does.

I suppose that she might start to drool with a draw.

[giggles]

Well, actually, I've always thought

a draw was kind of romantic.

I'm looking forward to my own.

I want you to be sure, Kenny.

I am, babe.

Not afraid?

Are you?

No.

For the first time in a long time..

...I'm not.

[laughs]

[sighs]

We've been through some pretty tricky times

you and me, haven't we?

I don't want to discourage you, but, um..

...I don't think it gets any easier.

With you, it does.

Give me a kiss.

[instrumental music]

[knocking]

[Lilimae] 'Valene.'

I'm awake, mama.

Honey..

[sighs]

I had no right to say those things, I'm sorry.

Sometimes...I can't hold my tongue.

But I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at what I see.

What do you see, mama?

I see my daughter

my beautiful daughter, suffering.

My heart sinks and my anger rises and..

[sighs]

I've become the fool.

No you don't, mama.

You want to know, what I see?

Mm-hm.

I see my mama..

...who sooner or later, in her own..

...way, taught me how to love.

I should have taught you how to stop.

Mama, a deep love never stops.

- Oh, yes it does. - No, it doesn't.

Gets tested, maybe.

Or-or broken or..

...laughed at, cried over.

But I think it can be found again and fixed.

Is that what you're doing?

[instrumental music]

I'm sorry for the pain love has caused you.

[instrumental music]

Do me a favor, let me know.

Alright, thanks.

- Are you ready for this? - What?

Laura's going to talk to Janet Baines

they have an appointment tomorrow.

I wish she keep her mouth shut.

She can't, Karen, you know that.

I don't know that.

It's one thing to report Richard's missing.

It's another thing to charge in there screaming

Richard k*lled Ciji. Richard k*lled Ciji.

I can't believe it. I can't even say it.

Maybe if Laura thinks it's feasible that Richard--

It is not feasible, damn it.

I know Richard, he wouldn't..

Mack..

Oh, Mack..

Everything's falling apart.

[exhaling deeply]

You think it'll make a difference?

What?

Laura talking to Janet.

I don't know.

This case is turning into one of those two easy cases

that some cops hate.

How does Janet feel about it?

Does she think it's too easy?

I think so.

I mean, with Gary's arrest

and him not willing to defend himself.

[deep breath]

It takes the energy right out of the investigation.

Ordinarily, Richard would be a prime suspect.

Without Gary in jail

it probably would have come down to Richard, Abby.

Your friend and mine, Chip.

Once they had Gary, the investigation fizzled.

Chip?

Wait a minute, w-why Chip?

Why would Chip be a prime suspect?

He was more than her manager.

You don't know that.

Yeah I do.

What?

He was sleeping with Ciji.

How do you know about it?

It was in the police report.

He had to have a blood test because of the baby.

Weren't you going to tell me?

During the investigation

I wasn't going to rock the boat.

[soft music]

I won't tolerate that kind of behavior for myself.

My daughter shouldn't have to tolerate it either.

[instrumental music]

- It could be wrong, Laura. - No, I'm not wrong.

If, uh..

...if Gary Ewing had not confessed

would Richard be a suspect?

Well, Gary didn't exactly confess.

But, Richard was a suspect.

There were... there were others.

Yeah, but he's your best bet, I mean, he had a motive.

Or at least he thinks he did.

- And he left the restaurant-- - Laura, calm down, huh?

You know, I'm just a cop.

I don't call the shots in a homicide investigation

the district attorney does.

I just gather facts and try not to form opinions

until the facts are in.

In this case, I didn't have much time to gather facts

much less evaluate them.

After all I've told you, doesn't it make you wonder?

Yeah, it does

but it's tough to get my bosses to let me keep investigating

when they think they've got a case against a suspect.

That's great, so Richard gets off scot free.

Oh!

I know I shouldn't tell you this, but, uh..

- Well, it's just my opinion. - What?

I don't think Gary Ewing will be held over for trial.

I think that after tomorrow's hearing

um, my investigation will open up again.

Good.

Laura, are you that sure Richard's a m*rder*r?

Yes, I'm that sure.

We'll see.

[engine whirring]

Okay, girls, I'll finish up here, thanks.

- But, we are finished. - Uh-huh.

Always return what you borrowed

in better condition than when you got it.

That's my motto.

I guess my mom wouldn't be happy

if we took the car to New York.

Three thousand dollars straight from my savings account.

[birds chirping]

Are you sure you want to go through with this?

I'm sure of you.

I can't wait to see Uncle Joe.

Ah, well, I was going to suggest not doing that

you know, let's play it by ear for a while.

Do what we want at our own pace.

What the hell, it's our life.

Our life?

[engine whirring]

[Janet] 'No attorney?'

'I guess you didn't come to make another statement.'

No, it's not that.

It's Gary, I have to see him.

I want to talk to him.

Val, that's not as easy as it sounds.

Come on in.

Pick it.

Hey, how about giving your secretarial skills a break?

You're going to wring another confession out of her.

Beat it.

Somebody ought to buy the film rights to this.

I'm not going to be redoing that report either.

That report... is ours, on Gary.

It signifies an important step in our investigation.

It signifies the end.

What do you mean the end?

[Janet] 'Well, as far as the police department is concerned'

we've finished our job.

The rest is up to the D.A.

Well, that is wrong, and I'm telling you

you are wrong.

Val, please calm down.

I didn't say I was right,

I said I was finished.

And you are wearing out your welcome.

I am trying to get an innocent man to defend himself.

Now are you going to help get me in to see him or not?

I thought he didn't want to see you.

[sighs] You got to let me in to see him anyway.

So that I can talk to him.

Val, what can you say to Gary that hasn't already been said?

I don't know.

I don't know, and I won't know that, until I get there.

I just know that I have to see him.

For him or for you?

Just make sure you know the difference.

Okay.

[Karen] Diana.

Diana, look, honey, I don't want to sound cliché

I just want to make sure you're doing the right thing.

I'm sure, mother.

How do you know?

How does anyone?

Look, I'm not trying to sound glib about this

because I know you're worried about me.

But I'll be in good hands with Chip.

I-I think we're talking about two different things

New York and Chip.

New York is a terrific city.

It's a great place for someone with your spirit and talent.

Look, I'm not...I'm not afraid of something awful

happening to you in New York

just the opposite.

I think you're going to blossom there.

- What about Chip? - What about Uncle Joe?

Why don't you stay with him?

What about Chip?

Honey, I just don't..

I don't want you guys to rush into this.

I don't...I don't want you

to rush into anything so important.

Come on, Ma, you don't want us to slow down.

You want us to stop.

I'm not saying that, honey.

Yes, you are, you've been saying that.

- That's not true, Diana. - Don't lie to me.

- And don't lie to yourself. - Don't lecture me!

Chip and I are adults, I love him.

Then I suppose you can handle him cheating on you

like an adult, or didn't he tell you about Ciji?

Ciji meant nothing to him.

She just made demands on him, that's all.

Did she demand that they sleep together?

Of course not.

Diana..

he admitted it to the police during the investigation.

He had to take a blood test.

Do you enjoy hurting me?

I don't think I'm getting through to you.

That jerk you're so much in love with

is going to cheat on you for the rest of his life.

That's the way he is. Diana, look at me.

I'm not the one.

I'm not the one who's hurting you.

He's the one.

And I'm not going to let you go to New York

or anywhere else with him.

Goodbye, mom.

[Chip] 'Sitting there in that light'

reminds me of the first day we met.

I have proof sheets of Val for the book jacket

and you stood there by the window

'and pored over them.'

'You said none of them could do justice'

'to your daughter's real beauty.'

And you were right.

Justice, there's nothing I could say now

that could do justice to how I really feel.

I'm leaving.

I'm afraid I've been a terrible disappointment to you.

How we're supposed to improve with each lifetime

each encounter.

I guess I don't look like much of an improvement to you.

I have something for you.

Oh.

Here.

Now..

Now, I don't want you to worry about me, alright?

Although I'm not a little unafraid.

Oh, Chip, it's beautiful.

I don't know why

but whenever I see a butterfly, I think of you.

[instrumental music]

I leave with you in my heart, Lilimae.

And if I failed you, forgive me.

And trust that my failures are not yours.

[instrumental music]

Goodbye, butterfly.

[instrumental music]

[door closes]

[water gusting]

[Abby] I've checked out several sanitariums

and I really think the one at Bricktown is the best.

[Mitch] If you say so.

Olivia.

[Abby] 'As soon as bail is posted, I want him transferred here.'

'I want him to understand'

'that this is a condition of his being released in my custody.'

I want him to know that this is the best thing for him

legally and otherwise.

Fine, except bail won't be necessary.

[Abby] 'What do you mean, it won't be necessary?'

Look, Mrs. Cunningham

let me explain to you what this hearing is all about.

First, the D.A presents his case

and then the judge decides whether it's a good one

whether it's worthy of spending the taxpayers money on.

It could be a very long and a very costly trial.

Well, in this case, in your case

the D.A hasn't got a chance.

He hasn't got one single shred of direct evidence.

There are too many other suspects

with better motives.

As I point this out tomorrow in the hearing

Gary will be a free man.

Gary will never be a free man

as long as there is booze in his life.

Nonetheless, that won't be your choice, that'll be his.

And I can't possibly imagine Gary ever admitting himself

voluntarily into a sanitarium.

[instrumental music]

You're that sure of your case?

[Mitch] I am.

Good.

Good.

Good.

- See you tomorrow. - Alright.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

[instrumental music]

[keypad clicking]

[sighs]

James Westmont, please.

Abby Cunningham.

Jim, I want you to fire Mitch Casey.

Calm down, I know what I'm doing.

I want you there at the hearing tomorrow instead.

I know you're not a trial lawyer.

Don't worry, I'm not.

Jim, trust me..

...I know what I'm doing, you'll be just fine.

Just fine.

Bye.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

Ma'am?

- Yes. - Good afternoon, ma'am.

My name is Ronald Mackey, I'm a private investigator.

[Lilimae] 'Private investigator?'

Now, you may be able to help me find a man I'm looking for.

Oh, well, if you mean Gary Ewing

the cops have already got him.

- Gary Ewing? - Yeah, for k*lling Ciji Dunne.

They practically caught him red handed.

Um..

[Ronald] Is this him?

[tense music]

No.

Are you sure?

He may have shaved off his mustache and beard.

Take another look, will you?

This is not Gary Ewing.

His real name is Tony Farnese.

He's wanted for as*ault and battery in Seattle.

- Tony-- - Farnese, Tony Farnese.

May have cut his hair and colored it.

It's not Gary.

Gary's in jail.

- Gary's in jail? - Yeah.

[Ronald] If you come across him..

...give me a call, will you?

[instrumental music]

[car door closes]

[engine whirring]

[instrumental music]

[Abby] Olivia?

Yes.

Is everything alright?

Sure.

Did you hear Mr. Casey and me talking?

Not really.

I just heard you call somebody and said to fire him.

Oh.

Honey.

Mr. Casey is a wonderful lawyer.

He always wins his cases.

He wants to win no matter what.

That's what makes him so good at what he does.

But sometimes..

...winning right away

isn't always the best thing for a person

at least a person like Gary.

You don't have to explain anything to me, mother.

No?

No.

I know there are things I don't understand.

Wouldn't you like to understand them?

I don't have to know everything.

I'm just a kid.

[instrumental music]

[thumping]

[Gary] 'Hey, open up, let me out of here.'

[thumping]

[Gary] 'God!'

[knocking]

Why are you doing this?

Get out of here!

Get out of my life!

- Gary. - Leave me alone.

Listen to me, please listen to me, I want to talk to you.

Don't you see, you're wrong?

You're not guilty, you're not guilty.

You're afraid, maybe, but you are not guilty.

I'm sure as hell not innocent.

I hate to spoil your fun, Gary Ewing

but there are two of us in this room

who've been around during your alcoholic blackouts

and only one of us is able to remember them, so..

So?

So all you know about a blackout

is what I've told you.

Maybe now you should know some of the things

I haven't told you.

[Valene] 'Gary, listen to me.'

'I have seen you in a blind rage.'

'I've seen you laugh and cry in the same breath.'

'I've seen you stumble and fall.'

'I've seen you kick down doors and throw things.'

Gary, I've seen you hurt yourself for many years.

But I have never, ever seen you hurt someone else.

'And you wouldn't have hurt Ciji.'

You don't know that.

I know that if you weren't so filled

with self-pity right now

you'd realize that no one here needs a martyr.

Someone out there is getting away with m*rder

while you play this pathetic game.

[Val] 'If you had any respect for Ciji..'

'you'd be doing everything in your power'

'to put the real k*ller in here.'

You're giving up your life for hers means

absolutely nothing.

[instrumental music]

[Karen] 'Val, Lilimae!'

In here.

[instrumental music]

Lilimae, is Chip around?

Seems like everybody's looking for Chip today.

What do you mean?

Well, a little earlier, a funny looking man was here

asking for Chip.

Private eye, real one.

Said Chip wasn't Chip

Chip was Tony somebody

and he's wanted in Seattle

for as*ault and battery.

[instrumental music]

Oh, my God, where is he?

He's gone. To New York.

Karen.

[instrumental music]

Diana!

[instrumental music]

[sobbing] Diana.

Oh, Diana.
