14x10 - The Invisible Man

Post by bunniefuu »

[woman #1] He doesn't have his medicine.

You can't keep him in here without his pills.

Look, I can't take these.

Check at the hospital, okay?

Now, please step aside.

-Next. Ma'am. -I want to see my husband.

Mack... M. Patrick MacKenzie.

Yeah, visiting hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

No, he was just arrested about an hour ago.

I have to talk to him.

[clicking on keyboard]

MacKenzie, yeah.

-He's not here. -Of course he's here.

What are you saying?

[clicking on keyboard]

-Marion Patrick MacKenzie? -Yes.

-He's being booked. -So how do I see him?

You don't, ma'am.

The regulations are posted right there.

-Excuse me, Officer. -Yeah. Are you the attorney?

No, I'm a friend. Look,

there's got to be a way for Mrs. MacKenzie

to talk to her husband.

Look, lady, while he is being booked,

there is no way you can see your husband now.

So how long does it take?

It could take hours.

Now, look, you can wait if you'd like to,

but I don't advise it.

Alright? Now step aside, please. Next.

Come on. Come on. Move up here.

[woman #1] They can't do it. It's not right.

I can't believe this is happening.

[woman #1] He needs his pills.

They've got no right, no right.

Let's go sit down over here.

[indistinct chattering]

Excuse me.

[theme music]

[dramatic music]

[female reporter] ...has been arrested

for the m*rder of Mary Robeson,

who was found dead

in her Hacienda Heights apartment

three days ago.

Mr. MacKenzie, an attorney,

and his wife Karen,

who live in Knots Landing,

have been involved in a landmark case

involving Miss Robeson's visitation rights

with their adopted daughter.

Channel 3's legal reporter Chris Dangla

has more on the story.

Chris.

Paige?

[Paige] Hi.

Hey, I thought you were asleep.

What was she saying about mom and dad?

Oh, she was just talking about the case.

You know, visitation.

Come on, up to bed.

I'm not sleepy.

So why was it on TV?

-Why? -Why?

Well, maybe you should tell me what you heard.

That it was a... land mine case.

-Landmark. -What's that?

It means that

there aren't many cases like it.

Hey, I got a good idea.

Let's go have some hot chocolate.

You are changing the subject.

I am?

So what do you want? Marshmallows or what?

How come you're babysitting anyway?

Mom and Dad didn't say they were going out.

Something came up and they had to go out.

What came up?

You want to be a lawyer when you grow up, right?

Where's my mommy and daddy?

Look, Meg. Uhm...

There's been a little bit of trouble,

but your mom and dad are fine.

There's nothing wrong with them.

They just needed to go and sort some things out.

What things?

[phone ringing]

Look, let me get this, and you run into the kitchen

and go get the cocoa and the milk and the stuff,

and I'll be right in, okay?

-Hello. -[female voice] Karen?

No, she's not here. Kate?

[Kate] Oh, Paige. Hi. Uhm.

I just heard about Mack on TV.

I can't believe this.

I was just calling to see if there's anything I can do.

Yeah, I don't think so.

You know, Karen's gone to...

Well, she's trying to see Mack,

but she hasn't called here yet.

[Kate] And you are with Meg?

[sighs] Yeah, yeah.

I need help fast.

[Kate] Okay. Look, I'm coming right over.

Okay. That would be great. Thanks.

[phone receiver thuds]

[Karen] This is madness.

There must be something we could do.

[Gary] Well, Mack knows the ropes.

I'm sure he can take care of himself.

He hasn't done very well so far.

Karen, I wish you'd let me take you home.

Home, Gary? How can I go home?

Mack's been arrested for m*rder.

m*rder. I mean, this is just unbelievable.

-Mrs. MacKenzie? -Yes.

I'm William Reed.

Oh, William, I'm so sorry.

I wouldn't recognize my father in this place.

Well, it's been a while.

Thank you for coming.

-This is our friend Gary Ewing. -Hi.

Hi. How are you?

So where do we stand?

That's the worst part. I don't know.

It's just so confusing.

-I can imagine. -And infuriating.

They won't let me see him. They say they're booking him,

but I don't know how long it's going to take.

The first thing for me to do is go and see Mack.

Do you think you could get him out on bail?

-Should we wait? -Karen.

Nothing can be done until he is arraigned.

Then, if it's at all possible, we'll arrange for bail.

Possible? Why wouldn't it be possible?

From what I understand,

this is a capital case.

-Bail is really-- -He isn't a m*rder*r.

Of course not.

Karen.

I'm sure Mr. Reed is going to do whatever is necessary.

[Mr. Reed] Of course I will.

If you don't mind a suggestion, Karen.

I really think you ought to go home.

The arraignment won't be until tomorrow,

and I doubt you'll have a chance to see him before that.

Get some rest.

[baby crying in background]

[sighs]

You ready to go?

I suppose I should feel grateful.

Yeah.

He seems to know what he's doing.

I just hope Mack thinks so.

Okay...

Now, it's hot,

so you got to be careful.

I don't want you to burn yourself.

Okay?

One for the road.

No, thanks.

What do you want? Another marshmallow?

Uh-uh.

No?

Well.

It's getting late. How about going back up to bed?

It's my fault, isn't it?

Because I didn't wanna see her.

Nana.

No.

-Yes it is. -No, it is not.

-[car doors open and shut] -It is not your fault.

They're here!

Hi, Meg.

Hey.

Hey, Meg, I brought you something.

What?

Do you want to take a look?

His name is Gus.

He worries a lot, so I thought I'd bring him over to visit you.

I'm not a baby.

Hey, I know that.

Listen, you know, I still talk to Gus

whenever I'm worried about anything.

[phone ringing]

I better get that.

[Kate sighs]

I know you think I'm making all this up,

but I'm telling you, it really helps.

Do you want to try it?

Mmh?

Ruff-ruff.

If it'll make you feel better...

Okay.

Karen's not back yet.

She's been gone for hours.

Well, it's not like he got a ticket for jaywalking.

[Paige] No.

I'd recommend a lawyer to Mack,

but you know him.

He'd just throw him out.

Yeah, well, Mack can be pretty stubborn.

Yeah, I got the tire marks to prove it.

I'll have Karen call you when she gets back.

I don't want to talk to Karen.

-How's Meg? -Meg?

Oh, I haven't had the guts to tell her.

Well, Karen will tell her.

[Paige] Yeah. Karen should be back soon.

I just called to check in.

Alright. I've got to go now.

Well, if you need me, call me at the office.

[sighs]

Would you believe that she's fast asleep, holding Gus?

Great. That's great.

You know, you've been great.

I guess I'm pretty rotten with kids.

Not so great with other people either.

Would you stop beating yourself up?

I mean, anybody would have a tough time

trying to explain the situation to Meg.

As far as other people are concerned...

[sighs]

I think that I could use a few lessons.

Yeah, sure.

-Who was on the phone? -Greg.

Oh.

I can't tell you anything.

I didn't even get to see him.

Regulations. He is being booked.

Well, don't they make arrangements?

I mean, aren't they supposed to--

No, they don't care.

And if I hadn't talked to the attorney,

I'd still be sitting in that rotten place.

Hi, Kate.

Karen, I'm so sorry.

-How's Meg? -She's asleep.

I told her a story.

Lawyer said he's going to call me.

After he talks to Mack.

Do you guys want anything to eat?

There's some leftover pizza.

I'd like some.

It's cold, but I can heat it up.

-Karen? -No, not hungry.

Thanks for taking over here.

It's no problem.

Would you like me to stay overnight?

No.

It's okay.

Are you sure?

No.

I'd really like you to stay.

[Gary] What people ever do before microwaves?

I don't know, I think they cooked over open fires.

Can I get you anything else?

[laughs] Pizza.

[microwave dings]

[chuckles]

-Here you go. -Thanks.

[sighs]

Do you want something else?

No, this is fine.

Okay.

[sighs]

-It's no trouble. -No, it's fine.

-[chuckles] -[Kate] What?

You're a real mother hen, aren't you?

Mother hen?

That sounds kind of fat and waddly.

Sorry. Bad choice of words.

But it's a wonderful trait, looking after people.

The twins are crazy about you.

Well, I'm crazy about them.

When is Mack getting out?

Tomorrow we hope.

I can't believe this is happening.

How did it happen?

Why is it happening?

I don't know.

I... I wish I had an answer.

I wish I could help.

You're already helping.

Gary.

I'm gonna get a soda.

Want anything?

No.

No, thanks.

These will have to do,

I just can't seem to find the ones I want.

I keep meaning to rearrange that closet,

but I never find the time to do it.

Oh, sheets.

I don't think the guest bed is made up.

[sighs]

[groans]

[mumbling]

Oh, I'm sorry...

Hey, hey. It's going to be alright.

It's going to be okay.

Sorry.

[weeping]

It's going to be okay.

Look, why don't you wait here?

-I'll go. -No, that's okay.

William.

-Good morning. -Hi.

I feel better just seeing you.

Hi, I'm William Reed. Miss...

Matheson. Hi. I'm Mack's daughter.

-How is he? -Combative, I'm afraid.

-He fired me last night. -What?

I only came by this morning to try to change his mind.

Fired you? Who's representing him?

He insists on representing himself.

Well, when can we get him out?

They'll argue bail after the arraignment.

But, like I told you last night,

he could be held without bail.

When's the arraignment?

It probably started about ten minutes ago.

-Okay, let's go. -But, Karen.

it's not here. It's at Municipal Court.

-Where is that? -I know. Let's go.

Karen.

There is something else. Mack...

He gave explicit orders.

He doesn't want to see you.

[Cliff] Second level prints are in,

and everything's moving along just fine.

Now that we've got Gary Ewing on board,

we're even a little ahead of schedule.

[Greg] Just keep them away from the ocean.

[Cliff chuckles]

What about the corporate sponsorships?

They really starting to come on board.

We offer them high-profile visibility

without the high financial exposure.

They love it.

It's kind of, like, a safety in numbers thing,

you know?

You know, I did a little homework on you, Templeton.

-On me? -Yeah.

Did you know that...

That dope Nolan never had a 500 record

until you started catching him?

We were a good team.

I think you were the team.

That's why I want you

on the task force steering committee.

You're joking.

I'm not even smiling.

Mr. Sumner, I don't have any experience

doing this sort of thing.

Judging from the job you did with that sport complex,

you don't need any experience.

You're a natural.

Well, you almost had me believing.

-Believing what? -That you meant what you said.

One building, one week.

That was a test, Sumner.

Probation's over. You're flunked. Bad.

Get your facts straight, Junior.

That building was scheduled for demolition two days ago,

and I had the deputy mayor's promise.

Oh, man, you are so full of yourself.

I just came from there.

Yeah, I live there, remember?

And you're going to tell me what I saw?

Wait a minute, you telling me demolition on that building

hasn't been completed?

No, I'm telling you it hasn't even begun.

This morning at my mother's office,

an 8-year-old kid get bit by another rat.

[dialing on phone]

Fellas, I think someone owes us some answers here.

But you have to understand what we're up against.

The demolition couldn't begin until--

You gave me your word, Lofton.

I don't have total control over this city.

Who's talking about control?

We're talking about cleaning up one lousy building.

This is not the private sector.

You're not emperor of your own kingdom now.

There are many, many constituencies

whose needs have to be addressed and satisfied.

You make me want to burn down City Hall.

You want to know what we're dealing with?

I'll set it up.

You'll see what I'm talking about.

[indistinct chattering]

-I don't see him. -He could be anywhere here.

We'd never know.

I'm going to see what I can find out.

Okay.

[indistinct chattering]

Excuse me.

[clears throat]

-Excuse me. -Yeah?

I'm looking for my husband.

He was supposed to be arraigned here this morning.

You sure he was here?

Well, they said Municipal Court Division 127.

Name?

-MacKenzie. -M-C or M-A-C?

Marion Patrick MacKenzie.

M-C or M-A-C?

M-A-C.

-Yeah. -Yeah what?

His case was called first thing.

I guess somebody must have pulled some strings.

-Well, where did he go? -Back in custody.

Did they set bail?

-Uh-huh. -Well, for how much?

One million. In full.

Well, I thought you were supposed

to be able to put up like 10% or something.

Judge's discretion. This is a capital case,

and he thinks MacKenzie is a flight risk.

[tense music]

Nothing. I couldn't find out anything.

What? What is it?

Bail is set at a million dollars.

We have to post the whole thing.

Oh, my God.

Well, what can we do?

I don't know.

I'm going to go back to the jail to see Mack.

But you can't.

You heard what the lawyer said.

I don't believe that.

[elevator dings]

[Tom] So the guy says to me, he says,

"Do you wear glasses?"

I said "No, I don't wear glasses.

What are you talking about?"

He says, "Well, because of these glasses I can't see.

-And I said, well-- -[Paige clears throat]

Can I speak to you?

How did you find me here?

I called your office.

Have a seat.

-So what do you want? -Your help.

[chuckles]

Now you want my help?

I offered a couple of days ago

and you spit in my face.

I'm sorry about that.

No, you're not, Paige.

You just want something.

You know Mack.

You know he's not capable of murdering that woman.

I'm listening.

If he is not capable, and you know he isn't,

whether you want to admit it to me or not,

isn't it your job to find out

whoever it was that k*lled that Robeson lady?

My job is to gather the evidence and turn it over to the DA.

Let me tell you something, Paige.

The evidence against Mack is pretty damn compelling.

-Oh, come on. -I'm serious.

Mary Robeson had been harassing Mack for months.

She ripped him off for half a million dollars,

that wasn't even his.

The apartment manager overheard a violent argument

between the two of them.

-This is ridiculous. -I'm not finished.

His fingerprints are all over the m*rder weapon,

and I have a tape of Mack actually threatening her.

That sounds like a lock for an indictment to me.

Yeah, but he didn't do it and you know it.

I don't know that, Paige. I don't.

You want my help?

Here it is. Some good advice.

Tell Mack to plead out.

-What? -He cops to manslaughter.

He'll serve six, maybe seven years.

He'll be home in time for Meg's senior prom.

You rotten b*stard.

To protect and serve.

That's what we're here for.

My family works 16, 18 hour a day for 20 years

to build our business.

Mr. Park, you have to understand

that we're working as hard as we can

to get you the funds to rebuild.

Not good enough, Lofton.

My members deserve to be protected by the city,

not stabbed in the back.

There's dozens of undocumented workers

down there, and that's union bashing.

Al, if the contractors were hiring

their fair share of minority workers.

We wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

Thank you.

Over and over again we don't get the good jobs.

We can do the work,

if only we're given a chance.

Look.

I can only say it one more time.

We will see to it that the workers of the community

get their fair share of jobs.

[Flint] And so we must ask ourselves,

how long?

How long must we wait for an equitable share?

How long must we dwell in poverty and neglect?

How long will it be till our day comes

and we are set truly free?

Welcome to the real world, Flint.

Oh, I get the problem.

So what's the solution?

Are you saying we should just give up and go home?

Well, giving up is not my style.

Is it yours?

A million dollars, Gary.

Where am I ever going to find the money

to raise a million dollars?

We could mortgage our houses.

I can't ask you to do that.

You didn't ask.

We can't mortgage our house anyway,

because we took a second

a couple years ago, to cover some expenses.

[sighs]

I'm still willing. It'll give us a start.

I can't let you do that.

Sure you can. There's no risk.

I don't know what he's capable of, Gary.

I feel like I don't even know him anymore.

-He won't see me. -What are you talking about?

I went back to the jail after the arraignment

and he wouldn't see me.

He told them to send me home.

[emotional music]

Are you finished there?

You can jump on my paperwork too.

I'd love to.

-You got a second? -What's up?

This goes no further, okay?

My memory is short. Don't even worry about it.

I was doing a little moonlighting.

-Really? -Yeah. Naughty, naughty.

I helped this guy Mack MacKenzie out with his sting operation.

Oh, gee, they'd love that upstairs, wouldn't they?

Yeah, I know. Tell me about it.

Anyway, look.

The money that MacKenzie gave to the woman, to Robeson,

-What about it? -It was marked.

-You're kidding me. -No, no.

I marked it myself.

[suspenseful music]

[mumbles]

Thank you, Pete.

-And just between us, okay? -I don't know, man.

I think I'm gonna have to call the captain at home.

I'm only kidding. Get out of here.

Don't worry about it.

[Tom chuckles]

Good night.

Thanks again, Pete.

[ominous music]

Yes, I saw the report, and it needs additional figures

before we send it out.

Alright, call me when it's done.

[sighs]

We need to talk.

You could knock first.

I'm a cop, not a client.

Are you a good cop these days or a bad cop?

I get confused.

At least I'm not in jail for m*rder yet.

What do you want, Tom?

We didn't get to finish our conversation

back at the police station.

I said everything that I needed to say.

[Tom] Well, I didn't.

Tell me about the Pacific Preservation Society.

-What about it? -What is it?

It's not part of the Sumner Group portfolio.

Try the foundation.

Why don't you get to the point?

I have a lot of work to do.

What's Mack's connection to it?

-Why don't you ask Mack? -I'm asking you.

I don't know anything about the foundation.

So you don't know anything about the fund?

Why is it so important to you?

You know why.

And when you're ready to stop fencing with me,

call me.

What do you say, Tommy?

Keeping the world safe, are you?

Excuse me.

Was that business or pleasure?

Both.

It was a pleasure, and it's none of your business.

So how's Mack?

Mack's bail is set at a million dollars,

and he's still in jail.

-What about Karen? -What do you think?

Mr. Sumner, I just called your office.

-What's up, Morty? -Claudia called.

She's going to be late, she wants to reschedule

the sports complex meeting for tomorrow.

-Where is she? -Uh, well, she's a busy lady.

-She's got other appointments. -All morning?

She's probably with that Italian thief.

You know, the one who used to hang around with your mother.

Nick Schillace?

What is she doing with that two-bit gigolo?

He owns a restaurant now.

Yeah, I was in Claudia's office the other day,

picking up a report. I saw the paperwork on her desk.

-Where's the restaurant? -He bought Stefano's.

Rumor has it he's spending a lot of money to fix it up.

Oh, no, sorry.

Claudia left not five minutes ago.

Oh, that's too bad.

Oh, it's a nice place.

Well, thank you.

You're very kind.

Oh, and I do hope that you'll be here for the opening.

Well, it's good to see that you're doing so well.

I mean, the last time I saw you,

you were having some financial difficulties.

Happily solved.

Thank you.

Yes, well, Claudia can be quite generous when she chooses.

Really?

And how so?

Well, she's investing in your restaurant.

Isn't she?

Is that what you think?

Well, are you going to tell me I'm wrong?

No, I'm going to tell you not to be so curious.

[chuckles] I'm not curious. I'm just--

Just pressing that very pretty nose of yours

in matters that do not concern you.

So can we just please change the subject?

I don't know, to something more interesting.

Just tell Claudia I was looking for her when you see her.

I will, for sure.

-Oh, this way, this way. -This way? Okay.

-Thank you. -Bye.

[tools whirring]

[kids chattering]

Hey!

Honey, what is it?

What, honey?

[whining] Everybody knows Daddy's in jail.

They made fun of me. They called me names.

-Oh... -They called Daddy names too.

Oh, honey, you just tell me who they are

and I'll call their mommies.

No, they will never stop teasing me.

Meg, honey, you can't hide.

Why not?

Because then they'll think they're right,

and that you believe

what they're saying about Daddy is true.

I don't care.

I don't want to go back to school,

and you can't make me!

[emotional music]

Taking a vacation?

Mmh? Somewhere exotic, I hope.

Sydney, Australia.

Why would you want to go to Australia?

It's on the other side of the world, you know?

Because I've never been there before

and I thought it might be fun.

I'm sure it could be,

but your place is here with your friends.

I'm not going to move there, Nick.

Don't you lie to me.

[chuckles]

Do you think I will never find you?

Nick, please.

I just lost my job here.

I just want to get away for a while.

Vanessa, you're such a silly girl.

What are you so afraid of? Come on. Don't you realize it?

Together we could run this town.

[laughs]

You always have such a talent for exaggeration, Nick.

It is not exaggeration. This is the truth.

Here we have the powerful Gregory Sumner,

his lovely wife Anne,

and the very vulnerable sister Claudia.

We don't run away from people like these.

We use them to our advantage.

And just how do you plan to do that, Nick?

[sighs] First,

you stay here with me.

Well, I don't think that's a very good idea.

I don't think you have a choice.

Oh, and the second,

you're coming to work for me at my restaurant.

Mmh?

Ciao.

[tense music]

[Paige] Everything seems to be in order.

Nice work. The foundation seems to be flourishing.

[Mort] Thank you, I appreciate you putting me in charge.

So, tell me about the Pacific Preservation Society.

Uh, that's not under my jurisdiction.

I checked the computer.

You were the last one to pull up the file.

Yeah, but that was a random thing.

I really have nothing to do with that organization.

Who does?

We never had this conversation, okay?

Well, that depends on what I learn

from this conversation, okay?

Okay, I found the file

on the Pacific Preservation Society.

I'd never heard of it,

so I came to Claudia.

And what did Claudia say?

She said that she'd handle it,

and not to tell anyone about it.

[suspenseful music]

[Greg] It's phenomenal.

I don't believe how much we've gotten done

in a short amount of time.

Are you kidding?

Man, these guys are out here hustling.

Take a look. Now,

they're going to be laying in

a whole new foundation on Monday.

I talked to the foreman

and he assures me that this entire structure

is going to be up in three months.

Three months? I'll be happy if we can get it done in five.

How'd you get this locked away so fast?

I sold my soul.

Actually, we compromised.

Greg went to the community and the union people.

We struck separate deals.

Okay, that's one lot. Now, what about the others?

Can you believe this guy? I don't believe him.

We're going to sell the rest of our souls

to get the job done.

-[cellphone rings] -I'll be watching to make sure.

-[cellphone rings] -Oh, excuse me, guys.

The area that's portioned off here

is going to be a parking lot.

Commissioner, thanks for returning my call.

Yeah, I got a favor I want.

You know that detective you got working on the Robeson case?

Well, he's dirty.

Yeah, I know.

None of your guys are on the take.

I have a personal interest in this one,

and I don't trust this Ryan kid.

I think you'd sleep a lot better if you got him off the case.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Karen, what's up?

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but this is important.

-Listen, if it's about... -It's about...

Mack.

Oh, you don't have to say anything.

Could you just let me say my piece?

I know Mack has been acting very erratic lately.

Nobody knows that better than I do.

He's called you names,

and he's accused you of things,

and I don't think you deserve that kind of treatment.

For Mack that's not erratic.

He's been acting like that with everyone.

Well, now that he's in jail,

maybe we all can get some rest.

Just a joke.

I don't think you'd like to see him stay there.

I said it was a joke, Karen.

-How much? -I beg your pardon?

Bail. How much is his bail?

That's where this conversation is going, right?

Yes.

One million.

Done. Anything else?

[emotional music]

[mysterious music]

-Surprise. -What are you doing here?

You first.

I work here.

Oh, you know, you work over there.

Claudia works here.

Oh, what? And Claudia invited you

to take a little nap on her couch?

Don't change the subject.

You don't work here anymore,

and this is none of your business.

If you keep telling me that,

you're going to hurt my feelings.

Oh.

Does this breaking and entering have anything to do

with the Italian fellow and his restaurant?

Why would you say that?

Word has it that Mack gave the Robeson woman

a half a million dollars.

But if you look real careful,

there's a million dollars missing from the foundation.

Well, people like to spread rumors.

Do you think Claudia gave her lover boy

the money for his restaurant?

Why would I have to think that,

when you're doing all my thinking for me?

[Greg chuckles]

You don't think that Claudia

would leave anything incriminating

around the office, do you?

I was looking for a pen.

Well,

here, how about mine?

Thanks.

Care to join me?

Last time I looked, you were married.

-Hardly serious. -Oh, is that why you're here?

You're feeling lonely?

Or you are thinking of coming back?

To this dump? Are you kidding me?

One of the directors is in jail.

Another director stole a half a million dollars.

Another one wants to borrow a million dollars for bail.

Why would I want to come back to this zoo?

Word has it that you have to answer to everyone

and their mother on the task force.

I know how you hate to compromise.

Show me a little compassion, babe.

How about a mercy hug?

Sleep tight.

Be careful around that kid cop.

He could mess up your life.

Again.

Why should he be any different

from all the other men in my life?

Goodnight.

[door closes]

Then the turtle slowly walked across the road.

The red car stopped.

[phone rings]

Don't go away. I'll be right back.

[phone rings]

Hello.

Speaking.

He's being released?

I'll be right there. Thank you.

Daddy's coming home.

Yay!

Meg, I'm going to leave you with the twins, alright?

Mom.

Come on. Let's go.

-Mom... -Let's go!

[sighs]

Right.

[police car sirens wailing]

[car engine starts]

[male announcer] Partly cloudy with a high of 68.

Increasing chance of showers this evening.

Now here's another classic for the long drive home.

[knocking on door]

[Paige] Coming.

-Who is it? -It's Tom.

Do you know what time it is?

I thought you'd like to hear this.

That's what phones are for.

Yeah, well, you let your machine pick it up,

and I don't feel like leaving a message on the damn thing.

Oh, look, are we fighting again?

Because if we are, I'd just like to know up front.

No.

I'm not fighting.

I'm just here to give you some information.

I'm listening.

Well,

Mack marked the money that he gave Mary Robeson.

And some of it turned up

at a liquor store in Pasadena tonight.

Well, that's good.

That's great.

Who had it?

Not sure yet.

Store owner reported it,

but he doesn't remember who he got it from.

[sighs]

Well, it couldn't be Mack. He's in jail.

Well, he could have spent it before he went to jail.

You come here at 2:00 in the morning

to tell me that you still think Mack is guilty?

No.

[whispering] No, of course not.

I'm sorry.

I guess...

I guess I should thank you for coming.

I've been trying to help, Paige.

Yeah.

I also came in because I wanted to see you.
