00:00:39President Kennedy is flying back to Washington tonight
00:00:42for a major speech on international economic policy
00:00:46before officers and directors of the World Bank tomorrow morning.
00:00:50Bill Lawrence, ABC, Palm Springs, California.

00:01:40♪♪
00:01:52How are you?
00:01:53May I help you?
00:01:54I'm Father Duarte, the assistant pastor.
00:01:58I'm looking for Monsignor Spellacy.
00:02:00And who might you be?
00:02:01I might be his brother.
00:02:03Mr. Spellacy, Eduardo Duarte.
00:02:05I'm helping the Monsignor out until he's 100%.
00:02:09He's not 100%?
00:02:10Just a matter of time, Mr. Spellacy.
00:02:12Just a matter of time.
00:02:13As soon as I fix the carburetor on the car there,
00:02:15I'm gonna repaint the thermometer.
00:02:17We're getting the building front drive on the way again.
00:02:20The new St. Mary's is going to be the flower of the desert.
00:02:23Hello, Tommy.
00:02:25I'm sorry, Monsignor, for monopolizing you, brother.
00:02:27It's just that when I talk about the new St. Mary's,
00:02:29I get carried away.
00:02:31It's all right, Father Duarte.
00:02:33Don't worry, Tommy.
00:02:35Father Duarte said you weren't feeling 100%.
00:02:38Oh, well, who is, Tommy, who is?
00:02:41Who is?
00:02:43Well, this morning after mass,
00:02:45Mr. McHugh comes to see me.
00:02:47Nice man, Mr. McHugh.
00:02:49But one thing about being a pastor is that
00:02:51no one ever stops by and rings the doorbell
00:02:54to tell you everything is just swell.
00:02:56So when Mr. McHugh stops by, I know it's not because
00:02:58he wants to help Father Eduardo paint the thermometer outside.
00:03:01I don't know.
00:03:04Mr. McHugh tells me that his daughter,
00:03:06the Carmelite nun, is leaving the convent
00:03:08to become a professional bowler.
00:03:10What?
00:03:11I'm not kidding. Professional bowler.
00:03:13I didn't even know they had alleys in the convent these days.
00:03:17So I said to him, I'd say a mass for him.
00:03:21Maybe that'll help him bowl a perfect string.
00:03:25How are you, Dad?
00:03:27Oh, it's well known fact the Irish have more hemorrhoids
00:03:29than other people otherwise.
00:03:31Look, look, as I asked you a simple question,
00:03:33give me a straight answer.
00:03:36How are you?
00:03:41I'm gonna die, Tommy.
00:03:47You're not kidding.
00:03:53The arteries to the pump are shut.
00:04:01You're not kidding.
00:04:31The arteries to the pump are shut.
00:04:33You're not kidding.
00:04:35The arteries to the pump are shut.
00:04:37You're not kidding.
00:04:39The arteries to the pump are shut.
00:04:41You're not kidding.

00:04:45You're not kidding.
00:04:47The arteries to the pump are shut.
00:04:49You're not kidding.
00:04:51The arteries to the pump are shut.
00:04:53You're not kidding.
00:04:55The arteries to the pump are shut.
00:04:57You're not kidding.
00:04:59The arteries to the pump are shut.
00:05:01You're not kidding.

00:13:44How's your wife?
00:13:49She left with her tuna fish casserole recipe.
00:13:53Her one dish.
00:13:55And your brother, the Monsignor?
00:13:58Okay.
00:14:02I used to listen to him on the radio when I was in the joint.
00:14:05Religious hour.
00:14:07I'll bet he set a novena for you every time that you and I screwed.
00:14:10It's on your mind, Brenda.
00:14:15♪
00:14:19You ever notice how you get old, your feet swell up?
00:14:23I started noticing things like that when I was in the joint.
00:14:26Your feet swell up, your toenails got little ridges on them.
00:14:29Well, maybe you ought to write a book about it.
00:14:32You ever tell your brother in confession that Jack was paying you off?
00:14:37Or maybe he doesn't know what a bag man is, your brother.
00:14:40They don't teach them things like that at the seminary.
00:14:44What are you trying to say?
00:14:47You ever wonder why Jack fixed it so that you didn't get indicted and I did?
00:14:52Jack wouldn't know me if he walked into me.
00:14:54Forget you. It was all that business he was doing with your brother.
00:14:58All those Catholic schools he was building.
00:15:00Wouldn't it look good, you going on trial?
00:15:02So he put in the fix downtown. Somebody had to take the fall. Me.
00:15:09Anything else?
00:15:11Yeah, just get that stuff out of here.
00:15:13Once a bag man, always a bag man.
00:15:25Sorry about that.
00:15:29You know my temper.
00:15:31I don't need your luck. I need another fuck.
00:15:42You know, uh, Jack's got this grand new development.
00:15:46There's, uh, Rancho Rosa, I think it's called.
00:15:49Anyway, he wants to give a little piece to his eminence for a school.
00:15:53Isn't that a grand thing to do?
00:15:55Rancho Rosa, huh?
00:15:57I hear he's having trouble getting rid of his lots.
00:16:00Well, I don't know about that.
00:16:02You know, I don't know about that.
00:16:04I don't know about that either.
00:16:06I don't know about that either.
00:16:08I hear he's having trouble getting rid of his lots.
00:16:11He needs a school in the city.
00:16:13Thank God you're suspicious.
00:16:15Peg? Monsignor.
00:16:17Mrs. Campion, how are you?
00:16:19Oh, it's a beautiful mess.
00:16:21Thank you.
00:16:29I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done.
00:16:32It's a beautiful wedding, and I...
00:16:34I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated all your...
00:16:37patience and your time.
00:16:39It was an honor, and I, uh...
00:16:41I know that you'll be very happy, Georgette.
00:16:44I'm sure of that.
00:16:46Monsignor, you know why I got married.
00:16:48Yes, I do.
00:16:51I wouldn't worry about it. I think it'll be fine.
00:16:54I think you've done the right thing,
00:16:57and you have my blessing.
00:17:00Thank you, Monsignor.
00:17:05Sonny's gotten awful grand since he became a supervisor.
00:17:08I remember when you could rent him by the day.
00:17:11And now, after being turned on everywhere else,
00:17:13Jack makes this most generous offer to us.
00:17:17What did you call that, Dancy?
00:17:19I called that a pair of grape scissors.
00:17:21Huh. Here's some champagne.
00:17:23Try that chocolate stuff, too. It's good.
00:17:25Stay away from the peanuts. Bad for the balls.
00:17:28I think I'll just have this.
00:17:34I hear Jack's overextended.
00:17:36Banks want to call in his paper.
00:17:38Oh.
00:17:40You're a cool one, Des. You really are.
00:17:44All right.
00:17:46Maybe I can persuade Jack to let his construction company
00:17:49build a school of cars. How's that?
00:17:51Very nice. Okay.
00:17:54You know what would even be nicer?
00:17:56Hmm?
00:17:57If you threw in your fee from Jack.
00:17:59Hmm. Hmm-hmm.
00:18:01Looks like a leprechaun thinks like an Arab.
00:18:20Hey, look out!
00:18:22Hey!
00:18:29Hey!
00:18:39Hey!
00:18:52Hey!
00:19:22How you doing?
00:19:24Good.
00:19:26Sit down.
00:19:29Nice picture of Mom.
00:19:31Yes, isn't it?
00:19:33Why don't you come and visit the next time I go?
00:19:35I think she'd like to see it.
00:19:37Last time I saw her, she talked to me about purgatory
00:19:40and how much time I was gonna spend there.
00:19:42Life plus 99 years.
00:19:46You still eating cereal with her fingers?
00:19:49Well, you know, she still thinks that the early martyrs
00:19:52didn't have spoons in the catacombs.
00:19:54Well, tell her they didn't have instant cream or wheat either.
00:20:01You look good.
00:20:05I can't complain. I got my health, my wealth.
00:20:09What about yourself?
00:20:12Well, I can't complain.
00:20:14It gives me a lot of work, but otherwise I'm okay.
00:20:18I can see that.
00:20:23That's a sweetheart.
00:20:26I hear you fixed him up with an audience for the Pope.
00:20:30I made some arrangements, yeah.
00:20:33I bet you did.
00:20:36You ever tell you about Dominic Lopresti,
00:20:38that little Ginza with ambitions?
00:20:40He tried to move it on Jack's construction business.
00:20:43So he takes him and sticks him in a laundry dryer
00:20:45up in the mountain heights,
00:20:47shrinks the poor bastard down to 21 pounds.
00:20:50Is that a fact?
00:20:52Des, I don't know the Holy Ghost for a fact,
00:20:55but you're in the Holy Ghost's business,
00:20:57so you tell me about the Holy Ghost.
00:20:59I believe you.
00:21:02Which means that I should believe you.
00:21:06No, meaning you want to fall into shit
00:21:09and think it's Clover that don't believe me.
00:21:15Okay, you know Father Gagdon?
00:21:18Yes, I do. He's the pastor at St. Bernadette's.
00:21:21Where's the bingo they tell me?
00:21:29Well, could have been a house call.
00:21:32Well, when was the last time you hung your pants
00:21:34over the back of a chair making a house call?
00:21:37I got to admit, that's not the way they teach it at the seminary.
00:21:40He's out of there. That's all that counts.
00:21:42Nobody's embarrassed.
00:21:44I'll have to tell the cardinal.
00:21:47Great send-off. Candles, incense, the works.
00:21:53Okay.
00:21:55All right, I owe you one, lunch.
00:21:58As long as your boss picks up the tab.
00:22:03Thanks, Tom.
00:22:04See you later.
00:22:14See you later.
00:22:44Got a nice pair of charlies.
00:22:46You don't often see a set of charlies that nice.
00:22:49A lot of good they're gonna be doing now.
00:22:51Yeah.
00:22:52How long's she been dead?
00:22:55Uh, ten, twelve hours, maybe on her.
00:22:59I think the butler killed her.
00:23:01Don't you ever get tired of saying that?
00:23:04See the other half.
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:07Did you hear the fights last night?
00:23:09No.
00:23:10Mercury Johnson, Vinnie Avila, he was there.
00:23:12They were punching fog trying to hit him.
00:23:14Mercury.
00:23:15Vinnie should have had a tire on him.
00:23:17He was supposed to go in the water, Vinnie.
00:23:19He did. I got wet.
00:23:20Micro ringside splashes were so big.
00:23:22Make sure you get a lot of tight shots on the tattoo, okay?
00:23:25It's a nice touch, huh? Rose tattoo.
00:23:28There's another nice touch.
00:23:30They found a candle stuck up a joy trail.
00:23:33You ought to check it out with your brother-in-law.
00:23:35What it means in canon law, a church candle stuck in a joint like that.
00:23:38He'll tell me, too. He's got an answer for everything.
00:23:40I got it, Tommy.
00:23:41All right.
00:23:42Here, get the tattoo.
00:23:44Get the tattoo.
00:23:45Take another touch here.
00:23:49Is that something I could use for the first edition, Tom?
00:23:52Looks like a werewolf got that.
00:23:54Or a vampire, huh?
00:23:55Well, that's an angle, Howard.
00:23:57I heard you mention your brother to Monsignor, Tom.
00:23:59I hear he's very tight with the cardinal.
00:24:01You know, you might mention him, but it would be a wonderful story
00:24:04if his eminence was to say the funeral mass, Tom.
00:24:06I can get him an exclusive, one page.
00:24:08I wonder what it means, the death of this cunt.
00:24:10Howard, we don't even have an I.D. on her yet,
00:24:13so we don't know if she's a Catholic cunt or not.
00:24:15We can look that up later, Tommy.
00:24:17Well, if you want the cardinal, it's a factor, Howard.
00:24:19A definite factor.
00:24:25That's the blood. I don't see any blood.
00:24:27Somebody cut somebody in half, there ought to be a little blood,
00:24:29don't you think?
00:24:30Well, if we're hoping, she's probably cut somewhere else.
00:24:33Maybe she's sliced in the bathtub.
00:24:35Stop, stop, stop.
00:24:36Why do you have to give me a hard time?
00:24:38Would you please explain that to me?
00:24:39I don't care what you want to do.
00:24:41What's going on?
00:24:43This asshole from the coroner's office wants me to put her on two stretches.
00:24:46Because she's in two fucking pieces is why.
00:24:48And I'm telling you it's one fucking body.
00:24:50I suppose if she was in 14 pieces, you'd want me to get 14 stretches.
00:24:54That's exactly what I'm telling you, asshole.
00:24:56Who you calling?
00:24:57Hold on.
00:24:58Do as he says, two stretches, okay?
00:25:01I hope this broadleaf's all over the goddamn grass.
00:25:08Get me a list of sex crimes with the same M.O.
00:25:11That'll take a while, Sergeant.
00:25:13What do you mean, it'll take a while?
00:25:15She was cut in two.
00:25:16You think it's an epidemic like the flu?
00:25:31The king of all men.
00:25:33Beloved of women.
00:25:35And appreciated by men.
00:25:37Beloved of women.
00:25:39And appreciated by men.
00:25:41This is the Maracune.
00:26:02I feel such a damn fool.
00:26:05Steve, I think we'd better go.
00:26:11Remnants.
00:26:13Monsignor.
00:26:15Vaya con Dios.
00:26:31I never could stand that man.
00:26:33No cop.
00:26:36Tony Desmond, this proposal from Mr. Amsterdam
00:26:39to give us land for a school,
00:26:42what does he want to get out of it?
00:26:44I suspect solvency.
00:26:46How many contracts have we led
00:26:48to the Amsterdam Construction Company?
00:26:50Over the last few years, about, uh...
00:26:53It's been about $17 million.
00:26:56It would have cost around $22.
00:26:59Hmm.
00:27:00For someone not so anxious to buy a good name.
00:27:04It's wonderful, isn't it?
00:27:06Makes it easy to believe in the infinite power of repentance.
00:27:13I keep hearing stories.
00:27:16Hmm. About shortages?
00:27:19Mm-hmm.
00:27:21Ah, yes.
00:27:23I think once the Rancho Rosa situation has been resolved,
00:27:27that we should really seriously re-evaluate
00:27:30Mr. Amsterdam's contribution to the Archdiocese.
00:27:33Perhaps we should think about phasing him out.
00:27:37I see.
00:27:39Vaya con Dios.
00:27:42Hmm.
00:27:44I think we should do that.
00:27:48Vaya con Dios.
00:27:50That's it.
00:27:56Nothing like a stiff for making me crave Chinese food.
00:28:02Think there's something funny about that?
00:28:04There's nothing funny about that, Frank. Hell no.
00:28:09Hey.
00:28:10What?
00:28:11Fred.
00:28:17Busted this joint 14 times when I was in vice.
00:28:26Now I eat in here all the time.
00:28:28I see. Why?
00:28:30He helped me build my motel in Culver City.
00:28:33I retire in two years.
00:28:35You know what you get from the police department after 20 years?
00:28:38If you're smart, you get chink partners.
00:28:40Exactly. Exactly.
00:28:42You should be thinking ahead, too.
00:28:44I'm not smart anymore.
00:28:48What about this girl?
00:28:51What girl?
00:28:54The one in two pieces, Frank.
00:29:01Tire marks. It's our best bet.
00:29:04Which doesn't give us much.
00:29:12More partners?
00:29:15You know...
00:29:17You know what we're gonna pull in on this one?
00:29:19Panty snippers, weenie flashes.
00:29:22Guys who fall in love with their shoes.
00:29:24Guys who built their hog in number 43 bus.
00:29:27You think I'm gonna lose any sleep over who took this broad out?
00:29:30This and strawberries and whipped cream, you think that?
00:29:33She's nine to five stiff, Tommy. No overtime.
00:29:36You know how we're gonna break this one?
00:29:38A couple of years of bringing a guy around the red light.
00:29:41A couple of years of bringing a guy around the red light.
00:29:44I kill the girl, they'll say. What girl?
00:29:46The girl with the rose tattoo on her ass, they'll say.
00:29:49Which one is that, we'll say.
00:29:51That's how we're gonna break it.
00:29:56What do you think?
00:29:58Well, about 300 grams.
00:30:00Oh, I missed it.
00:30:02Oh, you're fired. That's the fourth one in three days you missed it.
00:30:05I can't believe it.
00:30:07She looks better in one piece.
00:30:10...considerably and separation and loss of scalp...
00:30:14...along with a skull fracture.
00:30:16There appear to be wood splinters in the scalp lacerations...
00:30:21Sender.
00:30:23Sender.
00:30:25Hold on.
00:30:29The brain tissue is macerated and dark red in color.
00:30:32Date of birth, February 10th, 1926.
00:30:34Cause of death, hemorrhage and shock due to brain injuries.
00:30:3822, next Tuesday.
00:30:40I don't think she's gonna blow out the candles.
00:30:48Death occurred no later than 12 hours prior to discovery.
00:30:55She also had undigested food in her stomach.
00:30:58Egg rose.
00:31:00I'll do it to somebody sideways.
00:31:02Egg rose. I analyzed the food.
00:31:06I have nothing against him personally, Your Eminence.
00:31:10No, I know you don't, Seamus.
00:31:13But Desmond is a very good chancellor.
00:31:16I think he's a better accountant than a chancellor, sir.
00:31:21Seamus has just been listing some of your shortcomings.
00:31:24It's a long list, Your Eminence.
00:31:26The Monsignor learned it by heart when I was his curate at St. Damien's.
00:31:30See, I think I'm owed an explanation
00:31:33as to why I'm being replaced as chairman of the building.
00:31:37Now I'm owed that, eh?
00:31:39Yes. Yes, of course you are, Seamus.
00:31:45We had just felt that perhaps you, uh...
00:31:48couldn't take that much of a load.
00:31:50No, we're very grateful to you, Seamus. Very grateful indeed.
00:31:53Oh, I marvel at your energy, but...
00:31:56Excuse me.
00:31:59I mean, uh, for a man of your years...
00:32:02I'm a year younger than you are, Your Eminence.
00:32:06Oh, you are, are you?
00:32:08Well, the race is to the swift, huh?
00:32:14We thought Monsignor Fitzgerald would take over the building fund.
00:32:18Look, I'm not so fond of raising money,
00:32:21but I think it's idiotic to turn that job over to him.
00:32:24No, no, no, Seamus. His eyes twinkle.
00:32:27Now, you show me a priest whose eyes twinkle all the time,
00:32:30and I'll show you a moron.
00:32:32That's quite enough, Seamus, quite enough.
00:32:34Well, you know that I cannot buy a new furnace,
00:32:36I cannot buy new desks for the school,
00:32:38I can't even buy insurance for the car without his permission.
00:32:43What's this we call that, Desmond?
00:32:45Central Purchasing, Your Eminence.
00:32:47Ah, Central Purchasing.
00:32:49I see. Well, I thought the priority was saving souls.
00:32:52I don't need you to tell me what our priorities are, Seamus.
00:32:55When I took over this archdiocese, it was virtually broke.
00:32:58The banks now lend us money,
00:33:00due in no small measure to Monsignor's fallacy here.
00:33:03Well, if he has his way, there'll be pay toilets in the rectory next.
00:33:07Seamus,
00:33:09I've known you for, what is it, 50 years now,
00:33:13and you are always a pain in the neck.
00:33:16Now, you've had your say. Good afternoon.
00:33:25Thank you.
00:33:47Nothing today without a reservation, I'm afraid.
00:33:50Monsignor's fallacy, Seamus.
00:33:52I was under the impression that Monsignor's fallacy
00:33:54would be lunching with Mr. Ames today.
00:33:57You made a mistake, fuckhead.
00:34:03Right this way, sir.
00:34:22Thank you.
00:34:53Thank you.
00:35:11I'm sure I'll have a better table in a moment, Monsignor.
00:35:14That's perfectly all right, gentlemen.
00:35:17Thank you.
00:35:19I'll have a Rob Royster, a twist, thank you.
00:35:22Tommy, what would you like?
00:35:24A Schlitz straight up, no twist,
00:35:27as long as his eminence is paying.
00:35:33I'm so sorry, Monsignor.
00:35:35It's all right. The usual, Monsignor?
00:35:37Yes, please, thank you. Tommy, what would you like?
00:35:40Uh, the usual would be fine for me, too.
00:35:43Yes. Whatever it is.
00:35:45You'll find out.
00:35:47His eminence told me to tell you
00:35:49that he was very grateful for what you did for Father Gaga.
00:35:52That's nothing. Anytime, anytime, anytime.
00:36:00Oh, yes, I saw this before.
00:36:06That's a very nice photo.
00:36:09Will you get your face in the paper often enough, Des,
00:36:12for a priest and all?
00:36:14For a mick priest from Boyle Heights.
00:36:16You always were a harp of the class.
00:36:18What are you gonna call yourself when you become pope?
00:36:21I don't know. I thought about it.
00:36:23Maybe I'll call myself Gelasius II.
00:36:25That's a nice little ring to it, don't you think?
00:36:29Then again, it could be something simpler.
00:36:31Thomas, after you.
00:36:33There's never been a Pope Thomas. Thomas I.
00:36:36Thomas I, I like that.
00:36:38It's nice and common.
00:36:40Constant reminder to me that the flesh is weak.
00:36:44Give me that pious crap, Des.
00:36:47There's that raffle at the Holy Innocents last year.
00:36:51Fixing it so that Sonny O'Meara's daughter
00:36:53got that new Studebaker.
00:36:55No wonder you gave such a big hello to Sonny over there.
00:36:58What did you get out of that?
00:37:04Sonny's vote on the planning commission.
00:37:07Got the property condemned for the new school at Holy Innocents.
00:37:11Well, you should have mentioned the name Cornelia Cronin to him.
00:37:15You would have saved yourself a Studebaker.
00:37:17Corky, they call her.
00:37:19She's the bookkeeper at one of his funeral parlors,
00:37:21and she broke her back one weekend on Sonny's boat
00:37:24when Mr. Sonny was off making a retreat.
00:37:26He prays a lot better on a boat, Sonny, is what I hear.
00:37:30And she gets $500 a month for life, Corky.
00:37:32Excuse me, sir.
00:37:33Yeah, for the limp.
00:37:35Put this on my tab, will you?
00:37:37Yes, sir.
00:37:40It's all right, Jack. Thank you.
00:37:42No, no, no, Monsignor. Your money's no good here.
00:37:48Oh, I'm sorry.
00:37:50Jack, this is my brother Tom, Jack Amsterdam.
00:37:53How are you? I'm glad, a pleasure.
00:37:56Got the family resemblance.
00:37:58That's nice. It's nice to have an older brother.
00:38:01I wish I would have had an older brother.
00:38:04I want to hear from you about Rancho Rosa.
00:38:07We're doing some new surveys, Jack,
00:38:09and as soon as we're finished, we'll talk about it, okay?
00:38:12I see.
00:38:13Does Eminence get the invitation
00:38:15to my fundraiser at St. Veronicans?
00:38:17Yes, he did.
00:38:18Tell Eminence I'm counting on him.
00:38:20I will.
00:38:21Nice to meet you.
00:38:22Likewise.
00:38:23He's a winner, your brother.
00:38:25And only the winner goes to dinner.
00:38:31Yeah, I like that. You hear that, Monsignor?
00:38:34Only the winner goes to dinner.
00:38:36Friends in the family, friends.
00:38:41I used to work for you.
00:38:44I am? When was that?
00:38:47When you were running whores,
00:38:49I was your bagman in Wilshire Vice.
00:38:51I did the payoffs for Brenda.
00:38:56I'm sure you remember Brenda.
00:39:02Of course, that was before you started doing
00:39:04fundraisers for St. Veronicans.
00:39:10I gotta be going.
00:39:12This brother of yours is a little disturbed.
00:39:14You ought to watch out for him.
00:39:34I will.
00:39:48Message for you.
00:39:52Hey, Tommy.
00:39:56How are you?
00:39:57Good.
00:39:59Need anything from me?
00:40:01I want you to check out all the butcher shops,
00:40:03knife shops, and medical suppliers, all right?
00:40:06Geez, Tom.
00:40:18Sergeant Spellison.
00:40:19Uh, could you hold for a minute, please?
00:40:22Check out the garages.
00:40:24How many garages there are in this town?
00:40:261,500.
00:40:27Sergeant Spellison, may I help you?
00:40:29Yes, ma'am, we do want to find that girl's killer.
00:40:32And you are who?
00:40:34Mrs. Finley?
00:40:37You're from Culver City now,
00:40:39but you used to live in Gowin, Alabama?
00:40:45Now, if I do what?
00:40:46I hard-boil an egg,
00:40:47and I put it in the victim's right hand.
00:40:50Could you please mess up your own desk, Frank?
00:40:54Could you please mess up your own desk, Frank, please?
00:40:58Hey, listen, I'll have to ask you
00:40:59how lunch with the Monsignor went, huh?
00:41:01Then I close the casket.
00:41:02Right, I got that.
00:41:04And in the seven days, the murderer will confess.
00:41:08I've got that.
00:41:10Yes, ma'am.
00:41:11It's something you used to do in Gowin, Alabama.
00:41:16Yes, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am.
00:41:19You ever read the Brazil ads?
00:41:21No.
00:41:22I read them all the time.
00:41:23I can pick them out.
00:41:25Walk down the street, I see a girl,
00:41:28I see the straps are a blast,
00:41:30and I know it's a latric latex breathe-easy
00:41:33with matching garter belt.
00:41:35$5.95.
00:41:37That's a good thing to know, Frank.
00:41:41Want to have a drink?
00:41:42No.
00:41:43Want home?
00:41:44Okay.
00:41:45Call me, if you like.
00:41:46Okay, you bet.
00:41:49The werewolf killer, the Virgin Tramp,
00:41:51continued today as police of a dozen cities in California
00:41:54joined the desperate manhunt.
00:41:56The victim, Lois Vizenda, was revealed by police today
00:41:59to have been a romantic seeker.
00:42:01You'll wonder where the yellow went
00:42:03when you've been shooting with Epsodent.
00:42:06Langendorf Red, judge the...
00:42:08Mother of God...
00:42:11The food of thy womb, Jesus.

00:43:07This program is maintained only by your contributions.
00:43:10This is your program.
00:43:11At any sacrifice, it must continue.
00:43:13This is Monsignor Spellacy thanking you for your support
00:43:16and inviting you to be with us daily
00:43:18as we pray the rosary for peace.
00:43:20May the blessing of Almighty God, the Father, the Son,
00:43:23and the Holy Ghost descend upon you and remain forever, amen.
00:43:40♪
00:44:11...
00:44:22Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
00:44:24It's been a year since my last confession.
00:44:26Since then, I accuse myself of being pure actions.
00:44:30I curse a lot. I've got a bad temper.
00:44:33And, uh...
00:44:41Is that all?
00:44:47The other day, I, uh, embarrassed my brother in public.
00:44:51For these and all the sins of my past life, I'm heartily sorry.
00:44:56For your penance, say ten Hail Marys and ten Our Fathers
00:44:59and make an act of contrition.
00:45:02Go in peace.
00:45:04Thank you, Father.
00:45:11Oh.
00:45:15Oh.
00:45:17Oh.
00:45:19Oh.
00:45:21Oh.
00:45:23Oh.
00:45:25Oh.
00:45:27Oh.
00:45:30Oh.
00:45:37Is this the only one Vice has got?
00:45:39Yep.
00:45:41What did that guy say?
00:45:43She did an Arab extra at Warner Brothers, huh?
00:45:46Yeah.
00:45:48Right.
00:45:56Oh, Jesus.
00:45:58My God, look at that.
00:46:01You're spilling your coffee.
00:46:03Oh.
00:46:08Her parents claimed the body.
00:46:11They're shipping it back to St. Louis.
00:46:13Right.
00:46:15What a waste.
00:46:19Who was that?
00:46:24It...
00:46:26Isn't that...
00:46:28Isn't that the girl who gave Father Mickey the great send-off?
00:46:31Lorna. Lorna Keene.
00:46:56I paid to get half and half.
00:46:58I should get half and half.
00:47:00But you only did half.
00:47:02What do you think I'm doing, running a white sale?
00:47:04But she was in such a hurry.
00:47:06Can I help you, officer?
00:47:08Here's your hat, your coat.
00:47:10Come on, get us going.
00:47:12Okay, out. Hey, out.
00:47:14Make a good bouncer.
00:47:16Thanks.
00:47:20You're welcome.
00:47:22Make a good bouncer.
00:47:24Thanks.
00:47:26Oh.
00:47:32So...
00:47:34How are you?
00:47:36It's well, in the pink.
00:47:39I got a box at Santa Anita this season.
00:47:42Listen, Brenda, I'm sorry about before.
00:47:45I got carried away.
00:47:49Truce?
00:47:52Sure.
00:47:54Listen, I want to talk to that colored girl, Lorna.
00:47:56Is she around? I got rid of her.
00:47:58Why? I don't like having priests dying in my house.
00:48:01It's not good for business.
00:48:03You know, she made a stag film. I'd like to talk to her.
00:48:05You know where she went?
00:48:07Well, maybe she went to New York on a personal appearance tour.
00:48:10Why don't you ask Walter Winchell?
00:48:12I want to find out who made this film.
00:48:14And I thought this was a social call.
00:48:22A guy named Standard. Leland K. Standard.
00:48:25He uses a lot of my girls.
00:48:30Lois Vincente. Did you ever know her?
00:48:33No.
00:48:35Any of your girls ever talk about a cutter?
00:48:38Hard to find a girl that hasn't been cut.
00:48:41It's part of the risk they take.
00:48:43Oh, that's swell. That's just what I want to hear.
00:48:45A lot of deep shit about how tough it is being a hooker.
00:48:48Come on.
00:48:53All that time that I was in the joint,
00:48:55never heard from you.
00:48:57Not once.
00:48:59Brenda, what do you want? What do you expect from me?
00:49:06Could have sent a card.
00:49:08I sent you a card. I sent you a Christmas card.
00:49:13With Santa Claus on it.
00:49:16I don't know.
00:49:19With Santa Claus on it.
00:49:23Right.
00:49:29All right. Standard.
00:49:32This guy is here to true something.
00:49:34All right, let's go.
00:49:39Help!
00:49:41What?
00:49:43Help!
00:49:45Help!
00:49:47Help!
00:49:52Open up!
00:49:54Police officers, LAPD.
00:49:56Open up!
00:49:58Open up!
00:50:10Tommy, be careful!
00:50:12Freeze, you son of a bitch!
00:50:43What the fuck?
00:50:47Here, drink some water.
00:50:50Stop crying, kid.
00:50:52Your boy, he knows. All right?
00:50:56You all right?
00:50:58Fine. Got away with my cuffs.
00:51:00Shit.
00:51:02Put out an APB on this son of a bitch.
00:51:04Get some patrol cars to shave down the area.
00:51:06That wasn't standard.
00:51:08And who the hell was it?
00:51:10Longshot, standard arm. How much, cutie?
00:51:12Um, 4,000, not including the VIG.
00:51:15Here.
00:51:17That's standard.
00:51:19Well, that's swell.
00:51:21Then where the hell is he?
00:51:23She says he's dead. I'm checking it.
00:51:25Dead?
00:51:27What? Here.
00:51:29Auto accident.
00:51:31We could go Wednesday.
00:51:33What?
00:51:35We could go Wednesday.
00:51:39Son of a bitch totaled his car.
00:51:41Brand-new Ford.
00:51:43DOA General Hospital.
00:51:455.14 a.m.
00:51:49Who are you? What do you do?
00:51:51Me?
00:51:53Do awful good French.
00:52:05Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners...
00:52:23Do you remember why you became a priest?
00:52:31I had a vocation.
00:52:34That's what we all say, isn't it?
00:52:36A vocation to love God,
00:52:38help the poor,
00:52:40solace the sick and dying.
00:52:42Is that it?
00:52:44Yes.
00:52:51Well, why are you still coming back to me for confessing
00:52:54after all these years?
00:52:56What do you get out of that?
00:52:58It's good for my soul.
00:53:00But you see, I have a sin of pride.
00:53:03I also have.
00:53:05And I recognize it in you.
00:53:07Because you like power.
00:53:11You like to use power.
00:53:13I've told you that.
00:53:15Yes, I agree with you.
00:53:17But how could you get things done without using it?
00:53:19If our business is saving souls,
00:53:21then we need a place to save them.
00:53:23Somebody's got to take care of that.
00:53:25So you're all the same.
00:53:27I know, but...
00:53:29what are the choices there?
00:53:31What...
00:53:33Well, I don't know.
00:53:36But just don't sell yourself short.
00:54:00Next time I ask you for a nine-iron,
00:54:02give me a nine-iron, would you?
00:54:04He gave you the seven
00:54:06because the last time he burned you,
00:54:08the hole was a seven-taff.
00:54:10Was that planned with you?
00:54:12Mind your own business, would you?
00:54:23Hey, uh, keep reading about your brother,
00:54:25the policeman, Des,
00:54:27in the newspapers about this Virgin Tramp business.
00:54:31It's the Virgin Mary they should be writing about.
00:54:33Don't you think so, Des?
00:54:39That's right.
00:54:42Ah, people are bored.
00:54:44The war's over.
00:54:46They have to have something to sink their teeth into.
00:54:49But, uh, he's a grand policeman.
00:54:52That's what they tell me.
00:54:58Is he making any progress, I wonder?
00:55:04We've got to unload, Jack.
00:55:06We've got to unload, Jack.
00:55:26It's not as if Jack's done anything illegal, Des.
00:55:28No, only profitable.
00:55:31It's been going on too long.
00:55:33He's got a full-time job looking the other way.
00:55:35He's got to go, and that's it.
00:55:38I don't think you want to get on the wrong side of him.
00:55:41Why don't you leave that up to me?
00:55:49Wasn't there a run-in recently
00:55:52between Jack and your brother, the policeman?
00:55:55What about it?
00:55:57You let Jack go now, what's it going to look like?
00:56:00And what about Rancho Rosa?
00:56:02That's not going to happen.
00:56:04Oh, that's going to be very difficult, Des.
00:56:08A little more difficult than it was for you
00:56:10to pension off Cornelia Cronin, her name was.
00:56:14Otherwise known as Corcoran.
00:56:17That was a Christian thing to do, Sonny.
00:56:20I think I can get Nettie Flynn to bid against Jack
00:56:23on that contract for the new orthopedic wing
00:56:25in St. John's Hospital.
00:56:27That's perfect.
00:56:29Nettie loves getting his bones broken, I hear.
00:56:31Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:56:33There's lots of grand ways to handle it, Des.
00:56:35So Jack's feelings don't get hurt, is what I mean.
00:56:38We can give him a deal.
00:56:40I don't think he's going to do it.
00:56:43I don't think he's going to do it.
00:56:45I don't think he's going to do it.
00:56:47We can give him a dinner.
00:56:51And a Catholic lame to the end.
00:56:54That's good, Des.
00:56:56That's just great.

00:59:32May I help you, young man?
00:59:34Mrs. Phil Spallacy. I know the way.
00:59:37You'll have to wait. She's receiving communion.
00:59:39May all your sons be Jesuits, sister.
00:59:49Who's that come in, Massinia?
00:59:52Is that you, Tom?
00:59:56Brought me something.
00:59:59Good to see you. How are you?
01:00:01Oh, bad breath, Thomas. Are you still constipated?
01:00:04Oh, every day.
01:00:06The Monsignor here recommends the castor oil.
01:00:08And listen to the Monsignor, Thomas.
01:00:11Oh!
01:00:13You remembered my favorite color.
01:00:15What's this with the orange bow on here?
01:00:20He has grand grammar.
01:00:22Always had to wash your mouth out with soap.
01:00:25That dirty words.
01:00:27Okay, Ma, let's forget about that, okay?
01:00:29Wouldn't it be grand
01:00:31if you had turned out
01:00:33to be a nun like the younger one?
01:00:36I'm a priest, Ma. I think I'm a priest.
01:00:40And a swell one, too.
01:00:43Tom,
01:00:45has Moira received First Holy Communion?
01:00:48Yeah, about 12 years ago, Ma.
01:00:51That's grand, Tom.
01:00:55Spill out the holy days of obligation
01:00:58and start at the beginning.
01:01:00There's a rap on the knuckles
01:01:02if you don't start at the beginning.
01:01:04What's the beginning?
01:01:06Oh, well, Immaculate Conception.
01:01:08Try Immaculate Conception.
01:01:10I-M-M...
01:01:12Immaculate.
01:01:14A...
01:01:16That's the hard part.
01:01:18C...
01:01:20Conception is a snap.
01:01:22Once you know your Cs for the rest...
01:01:24Let me finish. U-L-A-T-E, okay?
01:01:26Rosa.
01:01:28You used to have trouble with your vowels.
01:01:30A-E-I-O-U.
01:01:32Sometimes Y.
01:01:34Hmm.
01:01:38Conception, Thomas.
01:01:40Mind your Cs.
01:01:46Hello, sister.
01:01:48How are you?
01:01:50Yeah, a grand speller like yourself.
01:01:53I'll give you a ride back to the chancery.
01:01:55A-N-C-E-R-Y.
01:01:57I think you're right.
01:02:05I remember Uncle Eddie's wake when Aunt Jenny asked him,
01:02:08uh, what Uncle Eddie was really like after all,
01:02:11because he-he-he knew him so well.
01:02:14Pollock's down at Eddie's casket
01:02:16and looks up at Jenny and says,
01:02:18well, he was a good shoveler, Jenny.
01:02:21Not a fancy shoveler, mind you, but a good shoveler.
01:02:24I praised him, the old man.
01:02:26Ha-ha-ha.
01:02:28One thing about the old man, he never missed a wake.
01:02:32Free booze and plenty of it.
01:02:38Ever feel like doing something?
01:02:40Sure, let's do that. Let's, let's...
01:02:42Maybe Saturday?
01:02:44Saturday? Well, I have my golf game on Saturday.
01:02:47Oh, okay.
01:02:49I'll cancel it if it's the only thing you have.
01:02:51Oh, it's okay.
01:02:53I don't want to interfere with your golf game.
01:02:55I'll change it.
01:02:57Just forget about it.
01:02:59Tommy, I can change it.
01:03:01Just forget it, okay?
01:03:04Another time.
01:03:07Yeah, but I just, I'll, I'll, uh...
01:03:19I'll, I'll...
01:03:50It'd be of you, Seamus,
01:03:52to remember that I'm running this archdiocese.
01:03:55I've not seen your spell, sir.
01:03:57Well, I, I respect that, your Eminence.
01:03:59It's just that this archdiocese has become so...
01:04:02I don't know.
01:04:04Every day I'm feeling less like a priest
01:04:06and more like an employee of a construction company.
01:04:10Yes, well, I want you at that luncheon, Seamus.
01:04:13I suppose I could pick up a few pointers
01:04:15about the cement business.
01:04:17Yes, Seamus.
01:04:19As you wish, your Eminence.
01:04:22Desmond.
01:04:37Sit yourself there, Desmond, sit yourself.
01:04:48I'm afraid he'll have to go.
01:05:00Do you mean that...
01:05:01I mean he'll have to be replaced, Desmond.
01:05:03And don't look as if you've never heard the word before.
01:05:09Well, I think you're making a mistake, your Eminence.
01:05:12Oh, is that so?
01:05:14I don't mean to be disrespectful,
01:05:16but I think that he's...
01:05:20a good priest.
01:05:21He runs the best parish in the archdiocese,
01:05:23and he's a good man.
01:05:24Yes, of course he's a good man.
01:05:26But the fact is, we need younger pastors.
01:05:30That's the long and the short of it.
01:05:33Men will do what they're told.
01:05:37For the good of the church.
01:05:39Yes.
01:05:41For the good of Holy Mother Church,
01:05:43that's exactly what I mean.
01:05:46So, uh...
01:05:48will you just find out what his needs are?
01:05:59I'm sure you'll be able to find a place for him, Monsignor.
01:06:04I'm sure you'll be able to find a place for him.
01:06:09And perhaps it will be a lesson for some of the other pastors.
01:06:19How do you wish your Eminence?
01:06:21You know, you said that exactly like him.
01:06:25Well, you may as well know it now as never.
01:06:28In fact, you'll have a few unpleasant things to do
01:06:30when you become a bishop.
01:06:33You know, of course,
01:06:35there's an opening for an auxiliary bishop.
01:06:37I've recommended you.
01:06:39And I strongly suspect that Rome will accept the recommendation.
01:06:44And then perhaps you'll find an ambitious young Monsignor...
01:06:50to do the dirty work for you.
01:06:53That's all, thank you.
01:06:55Thank you, Your Eminence.
01:06:58There's an opening for a chaplain at St. Francis Hospital.
01:07:02No.
01:07:05I can't think of anything better.
01:07:07Well, there's a parish in the desert.
01:07:09St. Mary's.
01:07:12Yes, but that's in the middle of nowhere, Monsignor.
01:07:15Yes, I like the desert.
01:07:18Well, then consider it done.
01:07:20Thank you, Your Eminence.
01:07:28Thank you, Monsignor. Thank you.
01:07:32Goodbye, Monsignor.
01:07:34Goodbye, Monsignor.
01:07:39I'm sorry.
01:07:43Goodbye, desert.
01:07:57Goodbye, desert.
01:08:27Goodbye, desert.
01:08:57Goodbye, desert.
01:09:05Who are you dating, Sibu, the elephant boy?
01:09:07Are you going to see Sibu in New York?
01:09:09No comment.
01:09:10When's the last time you saw him?
01:09:12No comment.
01:09:15Thank you.
01:09:16Was that June Haver or June Havoc?
01:09:19I don't know.
01:09:21I always get them mixed up.
01:09:24You know, my baby always wanted to be a movie star.
01:09:28She had this smile for it.
01:09:30She wore braces till she was 17.
01:09:33Going My Way was your favorite movie.
01:09:35And a retainer after that.
01:09:37Only at night, the retainer never on dates.
01:09:41See, 10 o'clock, she had to be home date nights.
01:09:44She just popped the retainer back in.
01:09:47She wrote poems.
01:09:49See, that's the kind of girl Lois was.
01:09:52Here.
01:09:55She wrote this.
01:09:57Remember me.
01:10:00And keep in mind, a faithful friend is hard to find.
01:10:04But...
01:10:07Here.
01:10:10When you are good and true,
01:10:13trade not the good ones for the new.
01:10:17When did, uh...
01:10:19Lois.
01:10:20Lois.
01:10:22How did you get a hold of this?
01:10:24She left it.
01:10:26Last time she was home.
01:10:28When was that?
01:10:30Thanksgiving. She said she was up for a part.
01:10:32Yeah, that's when it was.
01:10:34I'd like to keep the poem if you don't mind.
01:10:37Handwriting can be very useful in a case like this.
01:10:40She might have written to the...
01:10:42The son of a bitch that killed her.
01:10:44The son of a bitch that killed her.
01:11:14Let's see here.
01:11:45You know what?
01:11:47Shit's gonna hit the fan.
01:11:50You know what?
01:11:52Every bill, his and every bill on every phone
01:11:55in every apartment she's lived in the last year.
01:11:5853 times she's called him.
01:12:01So he was screwing her.
01:12:04She did that on her own.
01:12:06I don't know.
01:12:08I don't know.
01:12:10I don't know.
01:12:13She did that a lot.
01:12:15That's what she did for a living, somebody said.
01:12:18Did he make you nervous, Frank?
01:12:23Have you thought about your brother, the Messina?
01:12:26I've thought about him a lot.
01:12:29Sergeant Spellese.
01:12:31Come on, I'd love to see you drop him, but not on this one.
01:12:34He was screwing her, wasn't he?
01:12:36Of course he was screwing her, but he didn't kill her.
01:12:40Look, he's old, Jack. He's gonna die soon.
01:12:42He's got cancer.
01:12:44You didn't know that, did you?
01:12:46No, I didn't.
01:12:48If you don't believe me, check it out.
01:12:50He shook hands with the Pope.
01:12:52How many pimps can say that?
01:12:54That's a big deal.
01:12:56Believe me, he's crazier than you are.
01:12:58He's crazy enough to be dangerous.
01:13:00Thank you very much.
01:13:02Just think of it as a night-going-away present.
01:13:05I'm leaving town.
01:13:07For what?
01:13:09I'm leaving town.
01:13:11Why?
01:13:13I did a scrape a couple of days ago.
01:13:15I made a mistake.
01:13:18I nipped her.
01:13:20She hemorrhaged.
01:13:22Did she die?
01:13:24She's one of my old girls. She'll keep her mouth shut.
01:13:27It's just one of those things.
01:13:29You never used to do scrapes, did you?
01:13:31It happens.
01:13:33You get old.
01:13:37Where do you think you'll go?
01:13:39You know. I don't know.
01:13:42Maybe a reference or something?
01:13:47I never had any trouble buying cops.
01:13:56I just want to say good-bye.
01:13:58It's nice to have somebody to say good-bye to.
01:14:01The move I got.
01:14:03Lieutenant Governor.
01:14:05What am I going to do?
01:14:07Call him up and say,
01:14:09Do you remember me? You used to be a regular.
01:14:19Pat says to Mike,
01:14:21What are you digging a hole for?
01:14:23Mike says to Pat,
01:14:25I'm not digging a hole.
01:14:27I'm digging the dirt and laving a hole.
01:14:32But speaking seriously,
01:14:34I remember that day, and it was not so long ago,
01:14:37when the creditors were banging at the doors of this archdiocese,
01:14:40when, as the saying goes,
01:14:42we didn't have a pot to...
01:14:44spit in.
01:14:46When we had buildings to build,
01:14:48churches and schools and convents and hospitals,
01:14:51and not a copper penny to build them with.
01:14:54It was then, at that dire moment,
01:14:56when His Eminence asked our designee,
01:14:58as Catholic layman of the year,
01:15:00if he could help us out.
01:15:02I think all of you know what he said.
01:15:04Yes, said Jack Amsterdam.
01:15:25And, if I might add a personal note here...
01:15:27Brenda was right.
01:15:29When Amsterdam was in St. John's Hospital getting treatment,
01:15:31the knife offender was killed.
01:15:33He's promised to do it.
01:15:34And that's beat me in golf.
01:15:38Gentlemen, the Catholic layman of the year,
01:15:40Jack Amsterdam.
01:15:59Thank you.
01:16:18You ought to get a sash, Frank.
01:16:20You're not a pimp. You've got to be a rich pimp...
01:16:23to get a sash like that.
01:16:25You're a cop, not a pillar of the community.
01:16:29Jack.
01:16:35Hey, don't worry about him.
01:16:37Jack?
01:16:38See, are you being taken care of? Can I help you?
01:16:40Yeah, Sonny's getting our car.
01:16:42By the way, have you made a decision on Rancho Rosa yet?
01:16:45We haven't, Jack, but I think we're going to do
01:16:47some serious re-evaluation, and we should talk about it.
01:16:51Good night.
01:16:56Des, how you doing?
01:16:59Yeah.
01:17:01What I wonder is, if you were wearing this
01:17:03when you were banging, uh, Louis Prasenda...
01:17:10Huh?
01:17:11You're a real asshole, you know, you're a real...
01:17:14What are you doing? Get back!
01:17:16Tommy, get back!
01:17:19What the hell are you doing?
01:17:21Now, knock it off!
01:17:23Knock it off!
01:17:25What are you doing?
01:17:27Get back!
01:17:33Come on, let's go.
01:17:36Come on, let go of me, will you?
01:17:38Get your hands off me!
01:17:40That's enough!
01:17:42Get out of my way!
01:17:44You hear me?
01:17:46You're a son of a bitch!
01:17:48Come on back!
01:17:52All right, all right. Come on.
01:17:57Come on.
01:18:27Come on.
01:18:58Corpus Domini Nostri, Iesu Christi,
01:19:00custodia d'anima tuum, invitae mater de me.
01:19:04Corpus Domini Nostri, Iesu Christi,
01:19:06custodia d'anima tuum, invitae mater de me.
01:19:09Corpus Domini Nostri, Iesu Christi,
01:19:11custodia d'anima tuum, invitae mater de me.
01:19:20Too much wine in the chalice again this morning, Mr. Toomey?
01:19:24Yes, Monseigneur.
01:19:25What I don't need in the morning is just to pick me up.
01:19:33It's all right.
01:19:34Run along, boys.
01:19:35I heard you're missionaries, Des.
01:19:36The future of the church, you ask me.
01:19:37God help the church.
01:19:38You know how to handle them.
01:19:39That's for sure.
01:19:40I don't think there's anything you can't handle.
01:19:41I mean it.
01:19:42What's on your mind?
01:19:43I don't know.
01:19:44I don't know.
01:19:45I don't know.
01:19:46I don't know.
01:19:47I don't know.
01:19:48I don't know.
01:19:49I don't know.
01:19:50I don't know.
01:19:51I don't know.
01:19:52I don't know.
01:19:53I don't know.
01:19:54I don't know.
01:19:55I don't know.
01:19:56I don't know.
01:19:57I don't know.
01:19:58I don't know.
01:19:59I don't know.
01:20:00I don't know.
01:20:01I don't know.
01:20:02I don't know.
01:20:03What's on your mind, Danny?
01:20:04A little breakfast.
01:20:05Cream chip beef on toast down at the Biltmore.
01:20:06What do you think?
01:20:07Sorry, no, I can't.
01:20:08I'm busy.
01:20:09I can't go to down today.
01:20:10No.
01:20:11Well, I can have a word with you.
01:20:12Sure.
01:20:13Here?
01:20:14Why not?
01:20:15I was, uh, thinking about your brother, the policeman.
01:20:18You got a hell of a temper.
01:20:21I suppose he's still working on that, uh, that girl's murder,
01:20:24the virgin something or other?
01:20:26Tramp.
01:20:27That's it.
01:20:31Well, you remember her, don't you, Des?
01:20:33Remember who, Dad?
01:20:35That girl.
01:20:37We met her, don't you remember?
01:20:39You and I.
01:20:41I don't remember her.
01:20:43I don't remember her.
01:20:45I don't remember her.
01:20:47I don't remember her.
01:20:49Fine.
01:20:51We were coming back from Del Mar last summer.
01:20:53Went to the track.
01:20:55Thought she was hitchhiking.
01:20:57We picked her up, uh, gave her a ride.
01:20:59I mean, she was Christian Science, don't you remember?
01:21:02You asked her about it.
01:21:03She was sitting in the back seat.
01:21:07Christian Science.
01:21:12You mean the one who didn't know who Mary Baker Eddy was?
01:21:15That was her?
01:21:17That's right.
01:21:23Well, we, uh...
01:21:26We got to be friends, she and I.
01:21:40Des, if it comes out, we will finally...
01:21:42It's gonna be embarrassing.
01:21:44You know what I'm talking about?
01:21:48I was in San Diego the night that girl was killed.
01:21:50I was with Peg.
01:21:52We were at the regional meeting of the Knights of Columbus.
01:21:54I'm clean.
01:22:03You have to have a talk with your brother.
01:22:07Des, it's Jack I'm worried about.
01:22:11He knew her, too.
01:22:13We had a talk, Jack and I.
01:22:15Oh, you did? Really?
01:22:18I suppose you told him I was a warm, personal friend of Mrs. Fasendas.
01:22:21No, I didn't put it exactly like that.
01:22:23No, you didn't put it exactly like that. Of course not.
01:22:25Jack thinks your brother's crazy.
01:22:27Well, he very well might be right.
01:22:29Des, I'm 57 years old.
01:22:32Yes, you're 57 years old,
01:22:34and you're worried about getting your picture in the paper.
01:22:36I'm not worried about getting my picture in the paper.
01:22:38I'm worried about getting my picture in the paper.
01:22:40Des, you're 57 years old,
01:22:42and you're worried about getting your picture in the paper
01:22:44when they take you down for questioning.
01:22:46Just remember something, Monsignor. You were there the day we met her.
01:22:49Yes, we met her. You fucked her.
01:22:52You know, she really got around in the yardsties,
01:22:55even with a tattoo.
01:22:57There's a lawyer, right?
01:22:59Catholic layman of the year.
01:23:02She comes home from the track with a monsignor himself.
01:23:09I don't know.
01:23:11I don't know.
01:23:13I don't know.
01:23:15I don't know.
01:23:17I don't know.
01:23:20There's gonna be an awful lot of red faces
01:23:22if this policeman does his duty.
01:23:34That wasn't the only reason I came to talk to you.
01:23:37Sure, Des.
01:23:39I'm sorry you don't understand that.
01:23:42Well, whatever you say.
01:23:45Whatever you say.
01:23:51I wanted to also talk.
01:23:56Why is that?
01:23:58Because you're my brother.
01:24:00I can't talk to you. I can't talk to anyone.
01:24:06Something's got to change in my life.
01:24:09I'm tired of fixing things.
01:24:12I'm tired of...
01:24:15I'm tired of...
01:24:17I'm tired of...
01:24:19I'm tired of...
01:24:45Eat some. It's a pie.
01:24:47Come on.
01:25:07Watch your heads.
01:25:14Come on, girls. Let's go.
01:25:17Come on.
01:25:27It was just some way of making a buck, that movie.
01:25:30That's all it was.
01:25:32I never even saw it.
01:25:37What about her?
01:25:42I never even saw her before that movie.
01:25:45And I never saw her since.
01:25:48All I remember is that tattoo.
01:25:52She says she got it from some guy down in Long Beach.
01:25:55Didn't cost her nothing, just a piece of ass.
01:26:00Boy, did Stander like that tattoo.
01:26:04He was a freak, Stander.
01:26:06He belonged in a zoo.
01:26:09Where was the zoo?
01:26:12Out in El Segundo.
01:26:14An old army barracks.
01:26:16It was like a goddamn freak show out there.
01:26:21All right, look at this.
01:26:24That's Stander.
01:26:28All right.
01:26:29When did he die?
01:26:35Compared to when she died.
01:26:38That's the night before.
01:26:40He had 11 hours to kill her.
01:26:42Son of a bitch.
01:26:44He killed her, dumped her at the lot, then he totals the Ford.
01:26:48Son of a bitch.
01:27:12Son of a bitch.
01:27:42Son of a bitch.
01:28:12Son of a bitch.
01:28:42Son of a bitch.
01:29:12Son of a bitch.
01:29:42Son of a bitch.
01:30:12Son of a bitch.
01:30:42Son of a bitch.
01:31:12Son of a bitch.
01:31:42Son of a bitch.
01:32:12Who is it?
01:32:19Felicity Homicide.
01:32:23Where are you?
01:32:27All right, I'll be right there.
01:32:35What happened?
01:32:36Gas.
01:32:37Just turned it on.
01:32:39There's gas in the room to blow up half of East L.A.
01:32:53It's over here.
01:32:5784.
01:33:03That's it.
01:33:09That's it.
01:33:11That's it.
01:33:35One of the girls said the last person she called was Jack Amsterdam.
01:33:38I don't know what she wanted, but I'd say she didn't get it.
01:34:05Let's get him, Frank.
01:34:07She's a suicide.
01:34:09We'll get him for the Vicenta girl.
01:34:11You know Stan had killed her. You just came back from the Barrett's.
01:34:13You know Jack didn't do it.
01:34:15Well, then his lawyer will get him off, won't he?
01:34:17You can't do it.
01:34:18I can't?
01:34:19No, you can't do it. You're just trying to settle up an old score.
01:34:21What about your brother? It's his ass, too.
01:34:23What are you trying to prove? That it's just like you?
01:34:25He is. He's your brother.
01:34:37He's your brother.
01:34:39You all right?
01:35:05Not the crap I don't have all day.
01:35:09It's been 20 years since my last confession.
01:35:11I had a lot of things to do.
01:35:17You're not going to say anything?
01:35:19The way it goes, you're supposed to tell me.
01:35:22Yeah.
01:35:26Well...
01:35:28I'm a married man, but I got to admit I know a few girls of my type.
01:35:33Nothing else?
01:35:36I got into arguments with some guys.
01:35:38How do you define arguments?
01:35:40Who the hell are you to ask all these questions?
01:35:42I'm your confessor.
01:35:44You're my confessor in here, but you're wheeling deal out there, is that it?
01:35:46You're in here now.
01:35:48Yeah, I know.
01:35:54Is that all?
01:35:56Yeah, yeah, that's all.
01:35:58Are you sorry for your sins?
01:36:00Sure, I'm sorry for my sins.
01:36:02For your penance?
01:36:04I don't know why you did that to me.
01:36:06I thought we were friends.
01:36:08You did that rancho-rosa deal,
01:36:10and then you paid me off with that green sash.
01:36:13And another thing, about your brother.
01:36:16Go in peace.
01:36:20Look at that screen.
01:36:22Open it up!
01:36:24You keep him off my fucking back.
01:36:26He's trying to drop that whore on me.
01:36:28No, I can't help it if he was on the take, your brother.
01:36:30Nobody twisted his arm.
01:36:32You tell him if he grabs me, it's your ass gonna be in a sling.
01:36:34Not mine. I'm clean. Not his. Yours.
01:36:36You're a priest.
01:36:38A priest!
01:36:40And you knew that whore, and you never told anyone.
01:36:43Now, you ask your brother how that's gonna look in the newspapers.
01:36:48Who absolves you?
01:36:50Huh?
01:36:52Who absolves you?
01:36:55I got a family.
01:36:57There's a scholarship named after me.
01:36:59I met the pope, for Christ's sakes.
01:37:02You understand, you hypocrite?
01:37:24What are you doing?
01:37:54What are you doing giving absolution to that mcpimp?
01:37:57I want to know that.
01:38:01Why?
01:38:07Do you want me to hear your confession?
01:38:09I got nothing to tell.
01:38:18Oh, yeah. Okay, all right.
01:38:20I want to say that your pal Jack is kind of in the shit.
01:38:22The shit is the reason I'm here. We're gonna pick him up.
01:38:25I don't want to embarrass you, the cardinal.
01:38:28As a state of grace and all, let him enjoy it, all right?
01:38:32I thought you wouldn't be prepared.
01:38:34You saw his picture in the paper.
01:38:36I don't want to do anything behind your back.
01:38:40Yes, thank you.
01:38:46Thank you very much.
01:38:49This is for the fesandegro.
01:38:52Yes.
01:38:54You passed her around like a piece of Christmas candy while you were out playing golf.
01:38:58Did he do it?
01:39:00Catholic layman of the year.
01:39:02Did he do it, Tommy?
01:39:04Tommy, did he do it?
01:39:07I don't care whether they killed her or not! I don't give a shit!
01:39:10I just don't care!
01:39:12I just don't care.
01:39:18That's it.
01:39:20And I don't care whether you go down with him or not.
01:39:36Neither do I.
01:39:42Neither do I.
01:40:12I'm going to have to make any payment.
01:40:42I'm going to have to make any payment.
01:40:57I'm going to die, Tommy.
01:41:01If you outrace to the pump, we're shot.
01:41:06Sit down.
01:41:12Sit down.
01:41:38It's all right. I'm ready.
01:41:42My bags are packed.
01:41:58I'll...
01:42:06I'll sit.
01:42:09I'll...
01:42:13I'll...
01:42:18sing an Irish song at your funeral.
01:42:25My voice.
01:42:30I'll wake you up again.
01:42:37It's okay.
01:42:43It's okay.
01:42:56It must have been hard, Tess.
01:42:59No, it wasn't.
01:43:02I never had a great gift for loving God.
01:43:04Seamus told me that that was...
01:43:07was not a drawback as long as I could make myself useful.
01:43:13But he taught me the meaning of being a priest.
01:43:19And there's a kind of peace in that.
01:43:32It's my fault, Tess. All of it.
01:43:34Every bit of it. I'm sorry.
01:43:37Well, Tommy, you were my salvation, actually.
01:43:41You made me remember things that I had forgotten.
01:43:46I thought I was someone who I wasn't.
01:43:58I saved a plot over there.
01:44:01I saved a plot over there.
01:44:06I hope when the time comes that...
01:44:10out here...
01:44:12out of all the goddamn sand...
01:44:14I don't know.
01:44:16I don't know.
01:44:18I tell you.
01:44:20But, uh, I guess it's, uh...
01:44:24this one place is about as good as another.
01:44:31This is it.
01:44:33This is it.
01:45:00This is it.
