Diagnosis Murder (1993–2001): Season 7, Episode 19 - A Resting Place - full transcript

AH-AH.

CAN'T GO OUT AND PLAY
TILL WE DO OUR HOMEWORK.

IT IS MY DAY OFF.

I THOUGHT I'D JUST
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT

AND HEAD ON DOWN
TO THE BATTING CAGE.

IS IT BASEBALL
SEASON ALREADY?

DAD, FOOTBALL IS OVER.

I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND

HOW AN INTELLIGENT GUY
LIKE YOU DOESN'T GET

THE INTRICACIES
OF BASEBALL.

IT NEVER FAILS.
WHEN SOMEBODY TRIES



TO COMPLIMENT YOU
ON YOUR SUPERIOR INTELLECT

THEY DO IT BY INSULTING
YOUR INTELLIGENCE.

DAD, YOU JUST NEVER GAVE
BASEBALL A CHANCE.

IT IS SO INTERESTING.

FOR C.P.A.s AND STATISTICIANS.

WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING?
IT IS NONSTOP STRATEGY.

WHEN YOU IN A BASEBALL GAME,
YOU CAN'T STOP THINKING.

ABOUT BEER AND HOT DOGS.

THAT, TOO, YOU KNOW?

LIGHT, REGULAR, MUSTARD,
KETCHUP.

I'LL GET THAT.

HELLO.

SLOAN, IT'S HAWK.

HEY, HAWK. HOW THE HECK ARE YOU?



WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?

I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED
TO GO BOWLING LAST WEEK.

FORGET BOWLING.

I'M OUT AT THIS...
WHAT DO THEY CALL IT?

EXTENDED CARE PLACE IN TARZANA,
SUNNY MEADOWS.

What, you're moving

INTO A NURSING HOME?

It's not a nursing home.

IT'S A WAY OF LIFE.

ANYWAY, I'M WORKING UNDERCOVER

AND, STEVE, I'VE GOT
A MURDERER HERE.

OH, YOU'RE PULLING MY CHAIN.

JUST GET YOUR KEISTER IN GEAR
AND COME OUT AND ARREST HIM.

I'M ON MY WAY.

EVER SINCE HE PULLED THE PIN

HAWK'S BEEN TRYING
TO CRACK COLD CASES.

HAD ANY LUCK?

HE CLAIMS HE'S CRACKED
A MURDER CASE;

NEEDS ME TO
MAKE THE ARREST.

FEEL FREE
TO USE MY BAT

IF YOU WANT TO GO
ON DOWN TO THE CAGE.

THANK YOU.

SEE YOU.

SAY HELLO TO OLD HAWK.

ALL RIGHT.

SHOULD HAVE HAD
YOUR MASK ON, YOGI.

Man:
PLEASE, IF YOU COULD GIVE US

SOME SPACE, PEOPLE,
WE'RE COMING OUT.

WE'RE COMING OUT
IN A MINUTE.

PLEASE, CLEAR THE WAY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GET
YOUR TOES RUN OVER.

PEOPLE!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THERE'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

IF I COULD JUST ASK YOU
TO STAND BACK OR MOVE ON.

AN ACCIDENT?
DAVE HAWKINS?

YES.

HOW SERIOUS IS IT?

OH, PLEASE, MA'AM?

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T
DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU

UNLESS YOU'RE A RELATIVE.

I'M A FRIEND,
A GOOD FRIEND.

WHAT HAPPENED?

HE SLIPPED IN HIS BATHTUB
AND DROWNED.

"DROWNED"?

IT LOOKS LIKE
A PIECE OF CERAMIC.

MAYBE FROM A BROKEN VASE.

AND THERE WAS ONE
IN MR. HAWKINS' ROOM?

EVERY ROOM HAS ONE.

I'M AFRAID
THERE'S NOT ONE

IN HIS ROOM, MS. HICKMAN.

YOUR POINT, LIEUTENANT?

IT MAY HAVE BEEN
USED AS A WEAPON.

OH, SO NOW
YOU'RE SAYING

MR. HAWKINS WAS MURDERED?

IT'S A POSSIBILITY.

WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED?

ALL ANYBODY HAS TO DO
IS SAY "OLD PEOPLE'S HOME"

AND IMMEDIATELY EVERYBODY
ASSUMES THE WORST.

EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND, SOME
BUSYBODY IS DOING AN EXPOSE.

I'M A DETECTIVE, NOT A REPORTER.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I GUARANTEE YOU, DETECTIVE

THAT IF MR. HAWKINS
HAD LIVED AT HOME

AND SLIPPED IN HIS OWN TUB,
YOU WOULDN'T BE

SNOOPING AROUND
FOR VASE PIECES

THAT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN BROKEN WEEKS AGO.

MS. HICKMAN, I CAN
ASSURE YOU THAT
IS NOT THE CASE.

THIS IS A RETIREMENT HOME.

OUR RESIDENTS ARE ELDERLY.

THEY DIE
WITH SOME REGULARITY.

NOW, THAT'S SAD

BUT IT'S A FACT OF LIFE.

HE KNEW I WAS ON MY WAY
TO SEE HIM.

AND YOU WERE INCONVENIENCED.

WELL, WORK IN MY BUSINESS
FOR A WHILE, LIEUTENANT

AND YOU'LL FIND
THAT DEATH IS

A LOT LIKE
THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES...

ALWAYS SHOWING UP
AT THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES.

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK
TO SOME OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS.

OH, I SUPPOSE
I CAN'T PREVENT IT

BUT, UH,
WOULD YOU REMEMBER

THAT OUR GUESTS
ARE EASILY UPSET?

IN FACT, I THINK I'LL HAVE

OUR ADMINISTRATOR,
MR. ZENICK, ESCORT YOU.

BY THE WAY,
ARE THOSE, BY CHANCE

THE PROPERTY OF THE DECEASED?

AFRAID NOT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY'RE
PROPERTY OF THE L.A.P.D.

WELL, WE HAVE
VERY GOOD LAWYERS, LIEUTENANT

SO GIVE ME
THE SLIGHTEST REASON

AND I'LL SIC
THE LITTLE DEVILS ON YOU.

HOW WELL DID YOU
KNOW HAWKINS?

NOT VERY.

I MEAN, HE JUST MOVED
IN A FEW WEEKS AGO.

I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T
HAVE PICKED HIM
FOR THE DEAD POOL.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

WELL, I DON'T MEAN
TO SEEM INSENSITIVE

BUT WHEN YOU WORK
WITH OLD PEOPLE

YOU CAN'T HELP GUESSING
WHO'S GOING TO GO NEXT.

NOW, I WOULDN'T HAVE
PUT MY MONEY ON HAWKINS

BUT WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED
HE'D SLIP IN THE TUB?

PARDON ME. I WAS TOLD
I HAD TO CHECK WITH YOU.

I'M JULIE CRANE,
ONE OF THE NURSES HERE.

MS. CRANE.

I WANT TO GATHER UP
MR. HAWK'S BELONGINGS

AND SEND THEM
TO HIS SISTER.

I'M AFRAID FOR THE TIME
BEING, IT'S A CRIME SCENE.

JULIE, HERE, KNOWS
EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY
OF THIS PLACE, RIGHT?

SHE CAN INTRODUCE
YOU TO ANYBODY

YOU COULD POSSIBLY
WANT TO TALK TO.

I DO HAVE OTHER
RESPONSIBILITIES.

HOW WELL DID YOU KNOW
MR. HAWKINS?

I KNEW...

HE WAS AN EX-POLICEMAN.

I KNEW HE WAS WIDOWED...

AND I KNEW HE WAS WHAT

BEING FROM ARIZONA,
I CALL A "CACTUS PEAR"

TOUGH EXTERIOR

PURE MUSH ON THE INSIDE.

DAVE HAWKINS CHEATED
AT GIN RUMMY.

WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

HE DID NOT.

JUST BECAUSE YOU
COULDN'T BEAT HIM, JIMMY

DIDN'T MAKE THE MAN
A CARD CHEAT.

DIDN'T EVEN MAKE
HIM PARTICULARLY
A GOOD PLAYER.

HMM. DO YOU SUSPECT
FOUL PLAY?

WHY? DO YOU HAVE
REASON TO BELIEVE

HE WAS A VICTIM
OF FOUL PLAY?

Jimmy:
OF COURSE NOT.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

WHY WOULD ANYBODY
GO TO THE BOTHER

OF KNOCKING OFF
ONE OF US?

WAIT A WEEK OR SO,
AND THE GRIM REAPER
WILL HANDLE IT.

NO MUSS, NO FUSS.

HAVE YOU COME UP
WITH A MOTIVE?

MOTIVE, SHMOTIVE.

ESTELLE HERE THINKS SHE'S
A REGULAR MRS. MAPLE

LIKE IN THOSE
MYSTERIES SHE HAS IN
THAT GADGET OF HERS.

HER NAME IS MISS MARPLE

MR. SMARTY PANTS.

I HAVE ALMOST ALL
THE AGATHA CHRISTIES

RIGHT HERE
IN MY LITTLE E-BOOK.

IF YOU EVER WANT ANY

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME
TO READ THEM.

A BIG WASTE OF TIME,
IF YOU ASK ME.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE IF YOU
HAD READ MORE MYSTERIES

ALONG THE WAY

YOU MIGHT HAVE HONED
MORE SKILLS IN LOGIC.

I WAS A FOOTBALL
COACH, WOMAN.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE
LOGICAL THAN FOOTBALL.

THERE'S MORE TO LIFE
THAN FOOTBALL, JIMMY.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING
MORE IMPORTANT.

OH, JIMMY.

JIMMY WAS A COACH

A FOOTBALL COACH
FOR 38 YEARS.

WHO, UH, KNEW
HAWKINS BEST?

OH, GOT TO BE
BART ELLISON.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

DID HAWK EVER DISCUSS
HIS POLICE WORK WITH YOU?

NO, WE DIDN'T TALK SHOP.

WE PRETTY MUCH STUCK
TO SPORTS AND WOMEN.

DID HE HAVE ANY ENEMIES
YOU'RE AWARE OF?

UH, NOT THAT
I CAN THINK OF.

HE CHEATED AT CARDS.

AROUND THESE PARTS

THAT MADE HIM
A PARAGON OF VIRTUE.

BOY, I HOPE THAT
GARBAGE STRIKE IS OVER SOON.

THINGS ARE PILING UP
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

OH, REMIND ME.

WE'LL MAKE A TRIP OUT
TO THE DUMP THIS WEEKEND.

HAVE YOU FINISHED
THE AUTOPSY
ON DAVE HAWKINS?

Amanda:
YEAH, AND HE DEFINITELY
DIED DROWNING.

AS TO THE BUMP
ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD

COULD HAVE SLIPPED
IN THE BATH TUB.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

IS THERE SOME RULE

THAT OLD COPS CAN'T SLIP
ON PORCELAIN?

THERE'S NO SIGN
OF BATTERY.

NO CUTS,
NO BRUISES,
NO NOTHING.

IT'S NOT JUST THAT
HE WOULDN'T HAVE RUSHED ME

OVER THERE TO SCRUB HIS BACK.

I LOOKED AT THE TOWEL
IN HIS BATHROOM.

IT WAS WET.

SO HE WASHED ALREADY.

EXACTLY.

AND NOBODY TAKES TWO BATHS

IN ONE MORNING.

HERE WE ARE.

AH, THE ANSWER
TO A GIRL'S PRAYERS.

Steve:
SHE MEANS THE RIBS.

I KNEW THAT.
IT'S ALWAYS THE RIBS.

THAT'S WHY I
CARRY THEM AROUND.

WHAT IS ALL THIS?

THEY'RE HAWKINS' FILES.

I STOPPED OFF DOWNTOWN
AND GOT A LIST

OF ALL THE CASES HE TOOK
WITH HIM WHEN HE RETIRED.

IF I FIND ONE
THAT'S MISSING

IT MIGHT JUST POINT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IT'S A LITTLE EARLY
FOR RIBS FOR ME.

LET ME SEE THE LIST.

THANKS.

"RYDER FUR COMPANY."

I WORKED ON THAT ONE.

"JENSEN JEWELS"?

UH-HUH.

"P&A TRAIN ROBBERY"?

YOUR FRIEND WAS LOOKING
FOR JESSE JAMES?

NOW, HE WAS OLD.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING
ABOUT A TRAIN ROBBERY.

YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE CASE?

DOESN'T RING ANY BELLS.

WELL, MAYBE IT WAS
BEFORE YOUR TIME.

I THOUGHT TRAIN ROBBERIES
WERE BEFORE MY TIME.

OH, MARK.

CAN I BORROW YOUR FLASHLIGHT?

YEAH SURE. HERE YOU GO.

THANKS.

BE RIGHT OUT HERE.

IN 1947, TWO MASKED MEN

ROBBED A P&A,
KILLED A GUARD

AND MADE OFF WITH
ALMOST $2 MILLION.

NOW, ONE OF THEM WAS GUNNED DOWN

WHEN HE TRIED TO RUN
A ROADBLOCK

BUT THE OTHER ONE GOT AWAY.

BUT THE GUARD

WAS ABLE TO GIVE
A DESCRIPTION

BEFORE HE DIED.

AND YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HE'D LOOK LIKE TODAY?

CAN DO?

CAN TRY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SCAN HIM IN.

OKAY, NOW, KEEP IN MIND,
A LOT OF THIS IS GUESSWORK.

A LOT OF THINGS
CAN HAPPEN TO A FACE.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
MY FACE 50 YEARS AGO.

NOT A WRINKLE.

OKAY, NOW, LET'S, UH...

WE'LL TAKE IN THE CHEEKS
A LITTLE BIT.

AND THEN BUSHY UP
THE EYEBROWS A LITTLE.

AND THEN WE'LL
BRING DOWN HIS JOWLS.

AND, OF COURSE,
WELL, WE HAVE NO WAY

OF KNOWING WHETHER
OR NOT HE KEPT HIS HAIR...

I DON'T THINK HE DID.

OKAY, BALD HE IS.

YOU KNOW THIS GUY?

YEP.

GOOD BOY.

YOU MUST LIKE THIS PLACE
A LOT MORE THAN I DO

THE WAY YOU KEEP
HANGING AROUND.

YOU SEEN BART
ELLISON AROUND?

HA, YOU'RE TOO LATE.

WHAT, HE'S GONE?

THAT'S ONE WAY
OF PUTTING IT.

BUT AROUND HERE THEY LIKE
TO TALK INSTITUTIONESE.

NOBODY EVER JUST

"DROPS DEAD"
OR "KICKS THE BUCKET."

WHAT?

HERE AT THE HOME
WE PREFER TO SAY

THAT "THE DEARLY BELOVED
PASSED OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE."

OR "HE'S GONE TO HIS
FINAL RESTING PLACE."

OR "GONE TO MEET HIS MAKER."

I LOVE THAT ONE.

MAKES GOD SOUND
LIKE GEPPETTO.

YOU'RE TELLING ME

HE'S DEAD?

HE DIED FROM AN OVERDOSE
OF SLEEPING PILLS

SO WE CAN'T RULE OUT SUICIDE.

YES, WE CAN.

ACCORDING TO THE NURSE
OUT THERE

ELLISON RARELY ASKED
FOR SLEEPING PILLS

AND THE OTHER RESIDENTS SWEAR

THAT HE DIDN'T BORROW ANY
FROM THEM.

LOOK, I'LL BUY THAT ELLISON
MURDERED HAWKINS

BECAUSE HE KNEW
HE WAS ON TO HIM

BUT WHO'D HAVE ANY REASON
TO KILL ELLISON?

SOMEONE WHO KNEW
ABOUT THE MONEY.

Mark:
STEVE, HAVE
ANY HUNCHES?

WELL, MS. HICKMAN
RAISES MY HACKLES

BUT I GUESS THAT
DOESN'T MAKE HER
A MURDER SUSPECT.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF
THOSE RESIDENTS

ARE FORCED TO SIGN OVER
ALL OF THEIR WORLDLY GOODS

WHEN THEY MOVE IN.

HEY, THAT'S
A PRETTY TEMPTING SITUATION

FOR AN OWNER WHO'S BOTH
GREEDY AND IMPATIENT.

YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT
ALWAYS A BAD DEAL.

FOR INSTANCE, MY FRIEND'S
GREAT-GRANDMOTHER...

SHE SIGNED EVERYTHING OVER
TO THE NURSING HOME

WHICH WAS RUN BY THE CHURCH.
THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO.

AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
THE WAY THIS WOMAN EATS

SHE'S AHEAD OF THE GAME.

THAT WAS THE CHURCH, THOUGH.

I MEAN, WHAT IF MS. HICKMAN
IS NOT THE SORT

WHO'D RATHER GIVE THAN RECEIVE?

THAT'S A PRETTY FARFETCHED
CONCLUSION.

I'M NOT CONCLUDING;
I'M JUST SUGGESTING.

IT WOULDN'T HURT TO CHECK
HICKMAN'S BANK ACCOUNTS.

AND YOU SHOULD CHECK
HER PHONE BILLS
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.

SEE IF THERE'S ANY LONG-DISTANCE
CALLS TO THE CAYMAN ISLANDS

OR SWITZERLAND.

YOU'VE BEEN READING JOHN GRISHAM
AGAIN, HAVEN'T YOU?

AND YOU KNOW, I JUST THOUGHT
OF SOMETHING ELSE...

WHO'S TO SAY THAT THERE'S
ANY MONEY LEFT?

I MEAN, EVEN BACK THEN

$2 MILLION COULD ONLY BUY
SO MUCH WINE, WOMEN AND SONG.

A SHORT TIME AFTER
HE ROBBED THE TRAIN

ELLISON WAS ARRESTED
FOR A BANK ROBBERY

HE COMMITTED THE YEAR BEFORE

IN WHICH A BANK CLERK
WAS KILLED.

ELLISON GOT A LIFE SENTENCE.

EVEN WITH TIME OFF
FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR

HE STILL SERVED ALMOST 50 YEARS.

AND HE JUST GOT OUT.

AND THERE'S NO INDICATION

HE WENT ON ANY KIND
OF BIG SPENDING SPREE

BEFORE HE CHECKED INTO
SUNNY MEADOWS, EITHER.

HOW COULD ALL THAT MONEY
JUST VANISH?

YOU KNOW, IT'S TOO BAD
HAWKINS DIDN'T TELL YOU

EVERYTHING HE KNEW
WHEN HE CALLED.

MAYBE HE JUST WANTED TO SEE
THE LOOK ON MY FACE

WHEN HE HANDED ME THE CASE
ALL WRAPPED UP

IN A BIG FANCY RIBBON.

I GOT TO GET BACK OUT THERE
AND DO MORE SNOOPING AROUND.

YEAH. SOMEBODY'S GOT TO.

BUT THIS TIME,
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE YOU.

NO, DAD.

LOOK, THE JOB NEEDS SOMEBODY
WHO CAN SLIP RIGHT IN THERE

AND FIT IN.

DON'T EVEN THINK
ABOUT IT.

IT'S AN OLD FOLKS HOME!

I'M JUST PLANNING AHEAD...
WAY AHEAD, I HOPE.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

BESIDES, YOU'RE
TOO WELL KNOWN.

SOMEBODY'D BE BOUND
TO RECOGNIZE YOU.

I'M NOT THAT WELL KNOWN.

AND I'LL DISGUISE MYSELF
AS AN OLD MAN.

YOU'RE A RELATIVE
OF MR. BRINKLEY?

DRINK TEA? NO, COFFEE.
I PREFER COFFEE.

NO, ACTUALLY, I'M
JUST A GOOD FRIEND.

AFTER HIS HOUSEKEEPER
BESSIE PASSED AWAY

MY WIFE AND I
TOOK HIM IN

AND, UH, WE BOTH WORK,
SO YOU KNOW HOW THAT IS.

OH, YOU MUSTN'T BE TOO HARD
ON YOURSELVES.

CARING FOR THE ELDERLY
IS BEST LEFT

TO THE COMPETENT PROFESSIONALS.

NOW, AS TO PAYMENT...

YES, WE'VE DECIDED TO GO
WITH THE MONTHLY PLAN.

OH... YOU'RE CERTAIN THAT YOU
WOULDN'T WANT THE PEACE OF MIND

THAT COMES WITH KNOWING...?

OH, NO, NO, NO.
AT $4,000 A MONTH

I THINK THAT
MR. BRINKLEY
WOULD BE 180

BEFORE YOU'D EVER
HAVE TO CONSIDER
EVICTING HIM.

I SEE.

WELL, I'M SURE
YOU BOTH KNOW BEST.

OH, UH, REST? HAD A REST.
HAD A REST BEFORE, TELL HER.

OH...

OKAY, WELL, UM, WHY DON'T WE
GET STARTED?

OH, I DID? I'M SORRY.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN
THOSE CUCUMBERS.

REAL NICE!

OH, PLANNING TO CLEAN
BEHIND
IT, MISS CRANE?

OH, MS. HICKMAN WANTS
ALL OF BART'S

PERSONAL ITEMS
CLEARED OUT OF THE ROOM.

WE HAVE A NEW RESIDENT.

AND HERE HE IS,
OUR NEW BOY,
MR. BRINKLEY.

WELCOME.

MR. BRINKLEY, I HOPE

YOU'LL BE VERY
HAPPY HERE.

WE CAN NEVER HAVE
TOO MANY HANDSOME MEN AROUND.

OH, I BET HE HEARD
THAT ONE OKAY.

OH. WHAT HAVE WE HERE?

IT'S TO YOU.

"DEAR JULIE, YOU HAVE BEEN
THE ONE RAY OF SUNSHINE

"IN MY MISERABLE LIFE.

"SO THIS IS FOR YOU.

"SORRY IT CAN'T BE A PICASSO.

"OH, PLEASE GIVE IT
A GOOD CLEANING, A NEW FRAME

"AND A PLACE IN YOUR HEART

SO YOU'LL NEVER FORGET
YOUR FRIEND BART ELLISON."

ISN'T THAT SWEET?

WHAT? EAT?

YEAH, I'M SURE READY. YEAH.

MACARONI AND CHEESE,
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

YEAH...

OH, YEAH.

SWINBURN'S? HOW'D YOU
COME UP WITH THIS PLACE?

ONCE MY DAD FOUND OUT THAT
ELLISON WENT SOMEWHERE

IN A CAB THE DAY HE DIED

IT WAS NO TRICK TO FIND OUT
WHERE
HE'D GONE.

YOU REALLY THINK HE
BOUGHT $2 MILLION
WORTH OF ANTIQUES?

WE'LL SOON FIND OUT.

HE MUST HAVE CONVERTED
THE CASH INTO SOMETHING ELSE

OR IT WOULD HAVE
TURNED UP BY NOW.

IT'D BE A LOT EASIER
TO HIDE A BAG OF MONEY

THAN A THOUSAND ARMOIRES.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
GENTLEMEN.

MAY I HELP YOU?

I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU
RECOGNIZE THIS PERSON?

HMM. MIGHT I ASK WHAT HE'S DONE?

Steve:
HE'S
DIED.

OH, WHAT A SHAME.

WELL, THE GENTLEMAN HAD TASTE.

THE OTHER DAY HE PURCHASED
A VERY HANDSOME TIMEPIECE.

I DON'T THINK HE'D SPEND
$2 MILLION ON A WATCH.

ACTUALLY, SIR, I CAN ASSURE YOU

THERE ARE ANY NUMBER
OF ANTIQUE TIMEPIECES

WORTH CONSIDERABLY MORE
THAN $2 MILLION.

CAN YOU TELL US
HOW MUCH HE PAID

FOR THIS PARTICULAR
TIMEPIECE?

I'M AWFULLY SORRY, SIR

BUT AT SWINBURN'S
WE NEVER DIVULGE SUCH MATTERS

EXCEPT, OF COURSE,
TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE.

I'M WITH THE L.A.P.D.

OH. YOUR MOTHER
MUST BE SO PROUD.

OH, REDECORATING?

I THOUGHT I'D HANG
BART ELLISON'S PAINTING

HERE IN THE HALLWAY
WHERE EVERYONE CAN ENJOY IT.

HMM.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A LITTLE HIGHER
ON THE LEFT.

YEAH, NICE!

I'M FINE!

EVERYTHING'S
JUST FINE!

WHAT ARE YOU
WATCHING?

OH, CRAPOLA.

THAT FELLA WITH
THE LITTLE PIGGY EYES

IS MARRIED TO THE LADY
WITH THE GOITER.

BUT HE'S REALLY STUCK
ON HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW.

NO, NO, NO.

THE LADY WITH THE GOITER
IS HIS
SISTER.

HE'S MARRIED TO HIS SISTER?

DOESN'T THAT MAKE HIM
HIS OWN BROTHER-IN-LAW?

IT WOULDN'T
SURPRISE ME.

EVEN FOOTBALL ISN'T
WHAT IT USED TO BE...

WITH ALL THAT PADDING
AND ALL THOSE SISSY RULES

PROTECTING
THE QUARTERBACKS.

THEY'RE TURNING THE GREATEST
GAME EVER INVENTED

INTO A DAMN
SEWING BEE.

THE WAY YOU TWO CARRY ON.

I'LL BET YOU
ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE ACTORS.

YOU THINK THEY JUST WENT OUT AND
FOUND AN ACTRESS WITH A GOITER

THE SIZE
OF WYOMING?

OH, YEAH, I BET SHE GETS
A LOT OF ROLES.

YOU CAN'T TAKE THESE SHOWS
SERIOUSLY.

IT'S LIKE THE WRESTLING,
RIGHT, ISAIAH?

ACTUALLY, IT'S A NICE CHANGE

SEEING ALL THESE FOLKS
WORSE OFF THAN OURSELVES.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

THEY'RE YOUNG.

HOW COULD THEY
BE WORSE OFF?

OLD IS BAD.

STUPID IS
JUST STUPID.

ISAIAH, YOU KNOW, YOU OUGHT
TO HAVE THAT CHECKED OUT.

OH, IT'S
JUST A COLD.

I CAN'T SEEM
TO SHAKE IT.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW,
IT SOUNDS LIKE

THE BEGINNING OF BRONCHITIS...
MAYBE EVEN PLEURISY.

I TAKE READER'S DIGEST.

Hickman:
THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT MAN I DON'T TRUST.

YEAH, LIKE HE HEARS ONLY
WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR?

NO, IT'S NOT JUST THAT.

I TRIED CALLING
HIS REFERENCE NUMBERS

BUT THE ONLY PLACE
I REACHED ANYONE

WAS THAT BANK THAT
HE'S SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT OF.

AND THE YOUNG WOMAN I SPOKE TO
HAD NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

HUH. COULD BE HE WAS
THERE BEFORE HER TIME.

COULD BE.

BUT I DON'T WANT
TO TAKE CHANCES.

REMEMBER, PEOPLE THAT
ARE OUT TO SELL PAPERS
AND GET RATINGS

DON'T WORRY ABOUT
THE TRUTH.

THOSE MUCKRAKERS
DEAL STRICTLY IN
RUMOR AND INNUENDO.

WELL, BRINKLEY IS A LITTLE
LONG IN THE TOOTH

TO BE WORKING IN THE MEDIA,
DON'T YOU THINK?

AND JUST HOW OLD DO YOU THINK
MIKE WALLACE IS?

HUH.

I'LL KEEP
AN EYE ON HIM.

THANK YOU, MADAM.

MAY I BE OF ASSISTANCE?

I CALLED YOU ABOUT
DOING AN APPRAISAL?

AH, YOU ARE MR. ZENICK.

THAT'S RIGHT.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

MY UNCLE DIED RECENTLY

AND HE LEFT ME
SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.

HE LEFT ME...

THIS.

I'M PRETTY SURE
HE BOUGHT IT HERE

AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS

WHAT YOU THOUGHT
IT MIGHT BE WORTH.

YOU WISH TO SELL IT?

WELL, MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW,
THIS THING IS, HUH...

IT'S LOADED WITH SENTIMENTAL
VALUE FOR ME, BUT, YOU KNOW...

I THINK UNCLE BART
WOULD UNDERSTAND.

OH, YES.

DEAD RELATIVES ARE SO
MUCH MORE UNDERSTANDING

THAN THE OTHER KIND,
AREN'T THEY?

UM, SO, JUST BALLPARK...

UH, HOW MUCH
ARE WE TALKING HERE?

AS YOU ARE THE
GENTLEMAN'S NEPHEW

I'LL GIVE YOU $3,000
FOR IT, SIR.

COME AGAIN?

$3,000.

WHAT, ARE YOU NUTS?!

IT'S SAYS HERE THAT
THIS WAS MADE SPECIAL
FOR A MILLIONAIRE

BY THE FIRM MAISON MONTMARTRE
IN THE '30s!

AH, YES, THE MONTMARTRE
HOROLOGE.

IT'S A SUPERB BLEND OF
BEAUTY AND PRECISION.

YES, ALONG WITH PRODUCING
MILK CHOCOLATE

AND AVOIDING ARMED CONFLICT

IT IS WHAT
THE SWISS DO BEST.

YOU'RE TELLING ME
THAT THIS IS WORTH $3,000?

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.

THE MONTMARTRE HOROLOGE
IS WORTH $4 MILLION.

I KNEW IT.

REGRETTABLY, SIR, THIS
IS NOT THE HOROLOGE.

THIS, AS I EXPLAINED TO
YOUR DEAR DEPARTED UNCLE

WHEN HE PURCHASED IT,
IS A VERY CUNNING COPY.

OH...

YOU ARE DIFFICULT TO SHOP FOR,
AREN'T YOU? HA.

Mark:
WELL, LISTEN...

BONNIE HICKMAN IS NOT

THE ONLY SUSPICIOUS
CHARACTER AROUND HERE.

I'M ALSO KEEPING MY EYE
ON THIS GUY TOD ZENICK.

I'D SURE LIKE
TO HAVE A LOOK AT HIS...

WHAT WAS THAT?

N-NOTHING, NOTHING.

SOMETHING'S GOING ON;
I KNOW YOU, DAD.

I can tell when you're not
telling me everything.

THERE'S NOTHING TO TELL.

HEY, I GOT TO GO.

WAIT A MINUTE DAD, THERE'S
SOMETHING,

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

HEY, SOMEBODY'S
AT THE DOOR.

I GOT TO GO.

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A
GOOD IDEA IF AMANDA...

I CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS NOW.

Crane:
MR. BRINKLEY!

HOLD ON.

UM, JUST A MINUTE.

COME IN.

IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH.

OH, I'M NOT VERY HUNGRY.

WE'RE HAVING
YOUR FAVORITE.

MACARONI AND CHEESE?

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

MACARONI AND CHEESE.

YOUR EMPLOYMENT RECORD
IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.

FRANKLY, I WONDER WHY
YOU WANT TO WORK HERE.

EXCUSE ME.

HAS KNOCKING ON A DOOR
BECOME A LOST ART?

KNOCK? YEAH.

I USED TO KNOCK.

COULDN'T HEAR ANYBODY
SAY "COME IN."

PERHAPS THAT'S BECAUSE
NO ONE EVER SAID IT.

I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU

BUT THAT NICE MISS CRANE'S
BEEN GOOD TO ME.

I'D LIKE TO GET HER
A LITTLE SOMETHING

FOR HER BIRTHDAY PERHAPS.

YOU DON'T
HAPPEN TO KNOW

WHEN HER BIRTHDAY
IS, DO YOU?

NOW, HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT?

I HAT, NO. I WAS THINKING
MORE LIKE A NICE SCARF.

NOW, IF YOU'D JUST GIVE ME
A PEEK IN THE PERSONNEL FILES

I HAVE A HUNCH SHE'S A PISCES.

WELL, THOSE FILES
ARE CONFIDENTIAL

AND IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
I'M REALLY QUITE BUSY.

I COULD WAIT OUTSIDE.

NO. THANK YOU,
MISS REYNOLDS.

THAT WON'T BE
NECESSARY.

I'LL COME BACK A LITTLE LATER.

OKAY, I'M SORRY.

AS I WAS SAYING,
YOUR, UH...

YOUR RECORD AT COMMUNITY GENERAL
SEEMS EXCELLENT.

DO YOU MIND TELLING ME
WHY YOU WANT TO LEAVE?

WELL, BELIEVE ME, MS. HICKMAN,
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WORKING HARD.

MATTER OF FACT,
I LOVE TO WORK HARD.

BUT THEY WORK ME
LIKE A DOG OVER THERE.

I'VE GOT TWO KIDS.

I SIMPLY WANT A JOB
THAT HAS REGULAR HOURS.

WELL, MISS REYNOLDS,
I GUESS THAT'S THAT.

IF YOU WANT THE JOB, IT'S YOURS.

WELL, THANK YOU.

YOU CAN CALL ME CHARLENE.

OH, HERE.

THANKS, JIMMY.

BYE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOU SCARED ME
HALF TO DEATH.

WE THOUGHT
IT WAS A GOOD IDEA

IF YOU HAD A SECOND PAIR
OF EYES OUT HERE.

BESIDES, STEVE
WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL YOU

AND LET YOU KNOW
I WAS ON MY WAY.

YOU DON'T THINK I
CAN TAKE CARE OF
MYSELF, DO YOU?

IT'S NOT THAT.

HAWKINS WAS A TOUGH COP,
AND ELLISON WAS A KILLER

AND LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED TO THEM

BECAUSE NO ONE
WAS WATCHING THEIR BACK.

THE ONLY DANGER
TO ME IS TAPIOCA
POISONING.

WE GET IT TWICE A DAY.

WELL, MR. BRINKLEY,
MY NAME IS CHARLENE REYNOLDS.

MISS REYNOLDS,
NICE TO MEET YOU.

LISTEN, AS LONG
AS YOU'RE HERE

THERE'S A NICE
MAN DOWN THERE

NAMED ISAIAH PATTERSON.

HE'S GOT A VERY
NASTY COUGH.

LOOK AT HIM, WILL YOU?

OKAY.

OKAY.

Mark:
MR. ZENICK

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN HERE?

I FOLLOWED THIS INTO YOUR ROOM.

SO, UNLESS
HE WAS A PET

WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

I CAN JUST SEE
THE HEADLINES NOW.

"BUBONIC PLAGUE
BREAKS OUT AT SUNNY MEADOWS."

IT'S THE GARBAGE STRIKE.

WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO DO?

ASSUMING YOU'RE NOT
THE PIED PIPER

I SUGGEST YOU CALL
AN EXTERMINATOR.

AND ANOTHER THING...

IF ANY OF THE RESIDENTS
ASK, WE HAVE ANTS.

STAY BUNDLED UP,
MRS. JACKSON.

OH, THIS IS CRAZY.

WHO EVER HEARD OF
FUMIGATING AT NIGHT?

OH, IT'S PROBABLY
JUST A TRICK

SO WE ALL COULD SLEEP
THROUGH BREAKFAST

AND THEY'D SAVE
A FEW BUCKS.

SHH. DON'T GIVE
THEM ANY IDEAS.

IS ALL THIS
FOR ONE LITTLE RAT?

WELL, IF YOU'RE
SPEAKING OF ZENICK

HE'S NOT SO LITTLE.

ARE YOU OKAY,
ISAIAH?

I'M FINE.

WELL, YOU SOUND TERRIBLE.

YEAH, I AGREE.

ISAIAH, YOU SHOULD BE IN BED.

LET ME SEE
WHAT I CAN DO.

OH, IT'S A SHAME

THAT SWEET GIRL ISN'T IN CHARGE

INSTEAD OF THAT AWFUL ZENICK.

YEAH, HE DOESN'T
SEEM TO BE CUT OUT

FOR THIS KIND OF WORK,
DOES HE?

REALLY MAKES YOU WONDER
WHAT HE'S DOING HERE.

PEST CONTROL.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

I'M LOOKING FOR RATS.

IN MR. BRINKLEY'S DRAWERS?

WHY AREN'T YOU
IN THE SOCIAL HALL?

YOU'VE GOT A BUNCH
OF ELDERLY PEOPLE

HUDDLED DOWN THERE,
COLD AND MISERABLE.

AND I THINK MR. PATTERSON
NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION.

OH, NOW YOU'RE A DOCTOR.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A DOCTOR
TO KNOW WHEN SOMEBODY'S SICK.

AND WHY COULDN'T
THE FUMIGATING

HAVE TAKEN PLACE
IN THE MORNING?

YOU KNOW...

JULIE... JULIE...

I GET THE DISTINCT
IMPRESSION

THAT YOU'D BE
A LOT HAPPIER

WORKING SOMEWHERE ELSE.

NO.

I'D BE HAPPIER IF
YOU WERE WORKING
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

YOU'RE FIRED.

YOU DON'T HAVE
THE AUTHORITY TO FIRE ME.

WATCH ME.

I'LL GIVE YOU 15 MINUTES
TO CLEAR OUT OF HERE.

I WANT TO GET INTO
MS. HICKMAN'S OFFICE.

COULD YOU CREATE SOME KIND

OF LITTLE DISTURBANCE
IN HERE?

WHY DON'T WE JUST
BURN THE PLACE DOWN?

HOW ABOUT SOMETHING
A LITTLE LESS DRASTIC?

HOW ABOUT WE SET
FIRE TO THE KITCHEN?

IT'D BE A PUBLIC SERVICE.

HOW ABOUT YOU
AND I RAISING
A LITTLE RUCKUS?

CAN YOU DO THAT?

WHY SHOULD TONIGHT BE DIFFERENT
FROM ANY OTHER NIGHT?

ONE, TWO, THREE...

OH!
OH!

WHO ARE YOU CALLING
A CARD CHEAT?

IF THE SHOE FITS,
OLD WOMAN!

CARD CHEAT!

I HATE A SORE LOSER!

WELL, I JUST THOUGHT YOU'D WANT
TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

SOMETHING'S WRONG, MS. HICKMAN.

I DON'T KNOW; I'LL GO SEE.

YOU CHEAT
IN CARDS!

YOU CHEAT
IN CHECKERS!

I'VE SEEN YOU
CHEAT IN CHESS!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HE SAID
SOME TERRIBLE THINGS TO ME

THAT A GENTLEMAN
WOULD NEVER SAY TO A LADY.

THAT'S RIGHT, AND I WOULD
NEVER SAY THEM TO A LADY.

WELL, YOU'RE LUCKY I'M A LADY
OR I'D KNOCK YOUR TEETH OUT.

AND AFTER YOU TAKE YOUR TEETH
OUT, I'M GOING TO CRUSH THEM!

OH, YOU WOULD,
WOULD YOU?

HEY, HEY, HEY,
WILL YOU TWO KNOCK IT OFF?

PLEASE!

AND I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU
TO LEAVE.

Hickman:
I WANT TO SEE YOU
IN MY OFFICE NOW.

Zenick:
WHAT? ARE WE

IN GRAMMAR
SCHOOL HERE?

WHAT WERE YOU
EVEN THINKING?

I WAS TAKING CARE
OF A SITUATION

IN THE MOST
EFFICIENT
WAY I COULD.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN
HAVE TO BE HERE.

IF JULIE
HADN'T CALLED YOU

I WOULD HAVE HANDLED
THE SITUATION.

YEAH, LIKE YOU HANDLE
ALL OF OUR SITUATIONS.

I GOT A GOOD PLACE
FOR YOU TO GO.

LET ME GET
THIS STRAIGHT.

I FIND A DEAD RAT.

YOU TELL ME TO CALL
IN A FUMIGATOR.

I DO, AND NOW
YOU'RE UPSET.

Hickman:
I DIDN'T TELL YOU DO TO THE JOB
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

OH, IT'S HARDLY THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

WELL, IT IS
TO THESE PEOPLE.

OH, I SEE.

YOU'D PREFER IT IF THEY
SHOWED UP AT HIGH NOON

WHEN WE HAVE VISITORS.

MAKE IT REAL CONVENIENT
FOR CHANNEL TWO

TO HAVE US ON
THE 5:00 NEWS.

HEY, MAKES NO
DIFFERENCE TO ME.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S
SPOOKED BY THE MEDIA.

YOU'RE ENJOYING THIS,
AREN'T YOU?

NOT AT ALL, MS. HICKMAN.

I DON'T LIKE BEING
MADE WHIPPING BOY

JUST BECAUSE
YOU'RE PARANOIAC.

Woman:
EXCUSE ME...

WHAT?
IS IT THE INVISIBLE DOOR?

DOESN'T ANYBODY
EVEN SEE IT?

IT'S ISAIAH.

HE'S HAVING SOME
SORT OF ATTACK.

OH...

THANK YOU.

I'VE CALLED 911.

MARK, HURRY.
HE'S GOING TO
NEED A TRACH.

GO TO THE INFIRMARY;
FIND A SCALPEL.

OKAY, I THINK
MY MEDICAL BAG
IS IN MY ROOM.

HANG IN THERE, ISAIAH.

OH, HE'S-HE'S DYING.

SOMEBODY...
SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

HAS ANYBODY GOT A...

JIMMY, YOU HAD
A SWISS ARMY KNIFE.

I SAW IT.

WHY DO YOU WANT IT?

I HAVE TO PERFORM
AN EMERGENCY TRACHEOTOMY.

OVER MY DEAD BODY.

JIMMY, I'M A DOCTOR.

WHAT DO YOU DO
IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

LEAP OVER
TALL BUILDINGS?

I'M DR. MARK SLOAN

FROM COMMUNITY
GENERAL HOSPITAL.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT.

HE'S GOING
TO CHOKE TO DEATH.

YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME.

COME ON.

I'M ALSO GOING TO NEED
YOUR FLASK.

THANK YOU.

Jimmy:
IF HE DIES

THERE'S NOBODY TO BLAME
BUT JIMMY CORLEY.

OH, ALL YOU DID
WAS TRY TO SAVE YOUR FRIEND.

YOU DID RIGHT,
YOU DID RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, SPREAD
THE INCISION FOR ME.

Amanda:
ALL RIGHT.

GOT IT?

GOT IT.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

OH... OH, NO.

OH, NO!

HE IS...

HE'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

OH...

GO AHEAD, JIMMY.

GOOD WORK, MARK.

Hickman:
I DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOUR LITTLE GAME IS.

AS YOU CAN SEE,
I'M RETURNING

THE UNUSED PORTION
OF YOUR MONTHLY FEE.

TELL YOUR BOSSES THAT MY LAWYERS
ARE ON THE ALERT.

NOW I WANT YOU OUT OF HERE.

WE'RE NOT REPORTERS.

OH, I SEE. IT'S A HOBBY.

YOU JUST CAN'T HELP YOURSELVES.

YOU SEE A NURSING HOME

AND YOU HAVE
TO START SNOOPING AROUND.

GET OUT NOW.

ALL THE GOOD ONES
ARE LEAVING...

FIRST JULIE, NOW YOU...

AND ISAIAH'S
IN THE HOSPITAL.

NOW, DON'T YOU
WORRY ABOUT ISAIAH.

HE'S GOING TO BE FINE.

I DON'T SEE
WHY YOU CAN'T
STICK AROUND.

WHO CARES IF
BRINKLEY'S NOT
YOUR REAL NAME.

IT'S NOT LIKE
YOU'RE TOO YOUNG

TO MOVE IN WITH
US OLD GEEZERS.

I'LL GEEZER YOU!

I'M JUST SORRY I COULDN'T DO
WHAT I CAME HERE TO DO.

YOU WERE HERE
FOR ISAIAH.

THAT'S WHAT
MATTERS, DOC.

WITHOUT YOU, HE'D
HAVE BEEN A GONER.

OH, BALONEY. AMANDA
COULD HAVE HANDLED IT FINE.

YOU'RE FORGETTING
THE ONLY REASON

WHY I'M HERE IS BECAUSE
YOU'RE HERE.

OH? OH! YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO BE HERE

FOR THE
SWEETHEART DANCE.

OH, AND NOW
THAT YOU CAN WALK

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD
TO A CHA-CHA.

ESTELLE, BELIEVE ME,
YOU'RE NOT MISSING A THING.

NEVER THOUGHT
I'D SAY IT

BUT I'M GOING
TO MISS YOU, DOC.

WELL, NOTHING SAYS I CAN'T
COME AND VISIT, IS THERE?

OH, SURE.

PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY
THEY'RE GOING TO VISIT

BUT THEY HARDLY EVER DO.

WHO CAN BLAME THEM?

WHO WOULD WANT
TO BE HERE

IF THEY DIDN'T
HAVE TO BE?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

JIMMY, THIS
IS A GREAT PLACE.

OH, JIMMY LIKES
TO COMPLAIN.

I KEEP TELLING HIM

THERE ARE WORSE
PLACES TO BE IN.

AND FAR WORSE PEOPLE

HE COULD BE SPENDING
HIS DAYS WITH, TOO.

GOOD-BYE.

BYE.

JIMMIE.

SEE YOU, DOC.

BYE, AMANDA.

BYE-BYE.

WELL, LIGHTEN UP,
ESTELLE.

YOU'VE STILL GOT ME.

Mark:
EVEN IF YOU BELIEVED

ZENICK'S PERSONNEL FILE...
AND I GUESS HICKMAN DID...

YOU'D TAKE HIM
FOR A CROSS

BETWEEN JONAS SALK
AND MOTHER TERESA.

THE FACT IS,
BEFORE SUNNY MEADOWS

THE CLOSEST HE EVER CAME
TO WORKING IN AN INSTITUTION

WAS THE LAUNDRY AT LEAVENWORTH.

HOW DOES HE
FIGURE IN THIS?

TURNS OUT HE'S
THE GRANDSON OF SID HEARST

WHO WAS BART ELLISON'S PARTNER
IN THE TRAIN ROBBERY JOB.

HE'S BEEN TRACKING DOWN
THE MONEY ALL THIS TIME?

WELL,
PROBABLY FIGURED

THAT ELLISON DOUBLE-CROSSED
HIS GRANDFATHER

AND HE FEELS ENTITLED.

BUT HOW DO WE
TIE HIM TO A MURDER

IF WE CAN'T EVEN PROVE
THERE'S BEEN A MURDER?

AND WHERE IS THE MONEY?

IF ZENICK HASN'T
FOUND IT BY NOW, I'M BETTING

IT DOESN'T EXIST.

WAIT A MINUTE. GARBAGE!

EXCUSE ME?

I WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT THE GARBAGE STRIKE.

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?

WE INVITED HER.

SHE'S OUR GUEST.

YOU SHOW UP AT

A SHINDIG LIKE THIS,
I'D HATE TO THINK WHAT THE REST

OF YOUR SOCIAL
LIFE IS LIKE.

DO YOU REALIZE
THAT IF THAT MAN

WEREN'T GREEDY,
SELFISH AND MEAN

HE'D HAVE NO
PERSONALITY AT ALL.

I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS.

OH, WE'VE
MISSED YOU, TOO.

HAVE YOU SEEN ISAIAH?

YES, AND HE'S DOING JUST FINE.

DR. SLOAN SAID HE'D BE BACK

ON HIS FEET
IN A FEW DAYS.

YOU KNOW, WE REALLY
OWE DR. SLOAN.

AND I THINK I KNOW
HOW WE CAN REPAY HIM.

NOW, NOW, DON'T
START ON THAT AGAIN.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

SHE'S TALKING NONSENSE.

SAYS YOU.

I'M NOT LETTING
YOU GET INVOLVED

IN ANYTHING FOOLHARDY.

YOU'RE NOT
LETTING
ME?

OH, JIMMY!

I'M NOT ONE OF
YOUR FOOTBALL PLAYERS

WHO JUMPS EVERY TIME
YOU BLOW A WHISTLE.

YOU'RE A FEEBLE
OLD WOMAN, ESTELLE

AND SOMEBODY HAS GOT
TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU.

YOU'RE A FEEBLE
OLD BUSYBODY.

YOU COME
WITH ME, DEAR.

DR. SLOAN THINKS
THERE'S BEEN A MURDER

AND WE'RE GOING
TO SOLVE IT.

THE SCREWIEST PERSON
I EVER KNEW

WAS A FULLBACK
NAMED WABOWSKI.

WELL, WABOWSKI IS
NOW IN SECOND PLACE.

I'VE GOT TO GO
STOP HER FROM HERSELF.

YOU MIGHT WANT
TO THINK TWICE.

ESTELLE HAS
A PRETTY BAD TEMPER.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

LET SOMEONE DO IT
WHO'S GETTING PAID TO.

HEY, ZENICK!

THIS IS THE LAST ONE.

IT'S GOT TO BE IN HERE.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

I GET PAID TO
MAKE EVERYTHING

AT SUNNY MEADOWS
MY BUSINESS.

ESTELLE!

GET INSIDE

BEFORE YOU CATCH
YOUR DEATH.

AND YOU...

GET OUT OF HERE! GET OUT!

BEFORE I HAVE
YOU ARRESTED
FOR TRESPASSING.

I'VE LEAVE WHEN
THE PARTY'S OVER.

GOTCHA!

DITTO.

WHAT? WHAT?

IS THERE SOME LAW
AGAINST HAVING A MESSY ROOM?

YOU THINK THAT'S
THE MURDER WEAPON, DON'T YOU?

THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR, ZENICK

AND THERE ARE NO
USABLE PRINTS ON IT.

WELL, GEE, THEN WHY DON'T
YOU GUYS TAKE A HIKE?

UNLESS, OF COURSE,
YOU WANT TO HELP ME CLEAN UP.

YOU STILL
DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?

WHAT DO YOU PLAN
TO TELL THE JUDGE

WHEN THEY ASK YOU

WHY YOU WERE
RUMMAGING AROUND

IN ALL THAT GARBAGE?

WHO ELSE WOULD DO THAT
BUT THE KILLER?

ZENICK, YOU'RE
UNDER ARREST.

IT'S MRS. YABLONKSI...

YOU ALL RIGHT?

KICK ASS!

RIGHT.

JIMMY, NO!

YOU SHOULD HAVE PUNTED
WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE.

GET OUT OF MY WAY.

YOU ALL RIGHT
JIMMIE?

OH, I'M FINE.

IT'S LIKE MR. HALAS
USED TO SAY...

"HIT 'EM LOW,
HIT 'EM HARD

AND IF THEY GET UP,
HIT THEM AGAIN."

RIGHT, ESTELLE?

RIGHT, JIMMY!

IS IT MY
IMAGINATION

OR WERE YOU WAITING
FOR HIM DOWN HERE?

OH, NO DISRESPECT,
BUT YOU AND YOUR SON

ARE A COUPLE
OF KIDS.

YOU DON'T SEND BOYS
TO DO A MAN'S JOB.

WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT?

IT... IT LOOKS LIKE A...

A PICASSO.

HOW YOU FEELING, ISAIAH?

TIP-TOP!

I'M ONLY HANGING AROUND

BECAUSE THE FOOD
IS SO MUCH BETTER HERE

THAN AT SUNNY MEADOWS.

BUT YOU GOT TO PROMISE
TO BOOT HIS SORRY
BUTT OUT BY SUNDAY.

SUNDAY? WHY IS THAT?

HE'S GOING TO BE
MY BEST MAN.

UH-HUH. YOU'RE
ALL INVITED

OF COURSE.

WELL, WE'LL BE THERE

WITH BELLS ON.

CONGRATULATIONS,
YOU TWO.

NOW I'M GOING TO GET
THAT CHA-CHA.

WELL, AS LONG AS YOUR
HUSBAND DOESN'T OBJECT.

YOU LEAVE HIM TO ME.

I THINK IT'S GREAT,
BUT ISN'T IT KIND OF SUDDEN?

AT OUR AGE, SONNY,
YOU DO IT SUDDEN

OR YOU DON'T DO IT AT ALL.

I JUST FIND IT
SO HARD TO BELIEVE.

IT'S TRUE. ELLISON
BOUGHT THAT PICASSO

AND COVERED IT UP WITH
A PAINTING OF HIS OWN

FIGURING NOBODY WOULD
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

THAT'S WHY HE
LEFT IT TO JULIE

WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO HAVE
IT CLEANED AND REFRAMED.

YEAH, I ALMOST FEEL
SORRY FOR ZENICK.

ALL THAT EFFORT,
NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.

OH, I WOULDN'T CALL 20
YEARS TO LIFE NOTHING.

THE BEST PART IS
JULIE'S GOING TO
SELL THAT PICASSO

AND SHE'S GOING
TO BUY SUNNY MEADOWS.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS
REALLY KIND OF NICE

OUT AT THE HOME.

IS THAT RIGHT?

PLEASANT SURROUNDINGS

NICE, FRIENDLY PEOPLE

AND THE FOOD REALLY
WASN'T HALF-BAD.

I WAS THINKING, MAYBE
WHEN THE TIME COMES...

OH, NO, YOU DON'T.

YOUR HOME IS WITH ME.

CAN YOU LEARN
TO MAKE TAPIOCA?

SURE THING.

WELL, DON'T.
