00:01Next, on Wiseguy.
00:03Susan, what happened?
00:04Viking funeral.
00:06The Norsemen always put their leaders on a floating funeral pyre.
00:10I want to know where my sister is.
00:12How can I run the business without her?
00:19Mel Prophet is dead.
00:21We haven't even scratched the surface yet.
00:22The case is over, Vince. It's over.
00:25Marry me.
00:26Yes. I'll marry you.
00:56The Norsemen.
00:59The Norsemen.
01:05The Norsemen.
01:07The Norsemen.
01:10The Norsemen.
01:11The Norsemen.
01:12The Norsemen.
01:13The Norsemen.
01:14The Norsemen.
01:15The Norsemen.
01:16The Norsemen.
01:16The Norsemen.
01:17The Norsemen.
01:21The Norsemen.
02:05Is that the delivery man from the toy store?
02:08No, open the door.
02:11Susan, come on.
02:12It's me.
02:12Open the door, will you?
02:15Vinnie?
02:16Yeah, come on.
02:16You can't stay locked up in there.
02:28I missed you.
02:34I want you to tell me what happened to Mel.
02:37I want you to tell me so I can help you.
02:39Do you think, do you think he knew I loved him?
02:43I know I told him, but do you think he really knew?
02:46Susan, what happened?
02:47I saw his body on the boat, and I saw you torch it and push it out in the water.
02:51A Viking funeral?
02:54The Norseman always...
02:55Yeah, but how did he die?
02:56He died.
02:57What difference does it make?
02:59How?
03:01Susan, listen to me.
03:03His death isn't a secret.
03:05It's on the radio.
03:05It's in the newspapers.
03:07The cops are going to ask you the same questions I'm asking you, and they're not going to let
03:10you off the hook.
03:11Do you know what it's like to be empty?
03:14To look inside and see nothing?
03:18All right, listen.
03:19If it's the cops, let me talk to them, okay?
03:21Yeah!
03:23Delivery's here.
03:25Bring it in.
03:28Vinnie, I have the most wonderful news.
03:32Okay, we'll open it.
03:33Thanks.
03:36Let me open it.
03:38Susan, was anybody with you the night Mel died?
03:41Was LoCocco with you?
03:42I don't want to talk about it right now.
03:43I want you to see what's the...
03:44Not now!
03:45Ms. Proffitt.
03:46It's the police.
03:48Susan Proffitt, what do you want?
03:50I'm Detective Joseph Mulcahy, 28th Precinct.
03:53I have a warrant here for your arrest.
03:55Connected with the death of your brother, Melvin Proffitt.
03:58His body was discovered out on Long Island Sound on fire in a rowboat.
04:02The cause of death was injection of an amphetamine-heroin mixture.
04:06We have numerous individuals who've told us that you repeatedly inject him with such a substance.
04:10Do you have a witness or a murder weapon?
04:13You heard a lawyer?
04:14No.
04:15Then shut up.
04:18We'll wait while you get dressed.
04:21I've been expecting this package.
04:23We were just about to open.
04:24Yeah, go ahead. It's all right. I'll go with you. Go on.
04:28All right, Bob. What's your name?
04:30Vinnie Terranova.
04:31And what do you do around here?
04:32I work for Mel Proffitt.
04:34In what capacity?
04:35I was his manicurist.
04:40Susan's under arrest. They're booking her now, but she did not kill Mel.
04:44That sounds definite.
04:45Would you kill the only thing in your life that kept you moving forward?
04:48I'm listening.
04:49Mel's death probably fed into that Caribbean deal that Roger LoCocco was trying to set up.
04:53You know, the takeover of Il Pavot.
04:54Now, I need to see McPike and tell him to bring Lilla Warfield with him.
04:58All right, will do.
05:01Listen, Vinnie.
05:02I know Susan means something to you.
05:05And I once told you I could blow the fuses on these gizmos any time you needed to sort out
05:09what you were thinking from what you were feeling.
05:11Listen, that offer stands.
05:13All right, thanks.
05:13But right now I gotta find out what LoCocco had to do with Mel's death and what's changed because of
05:17it.
05:20Mel Proffitt's death changes only one thing.
05:23The timetable.
05:24Agreed.
05:24It accelerates.
05:26It accelerates as of now.
05:29We pull back and regroup.
05:31Oh, this from a man who says his business is fulfillment.
05:34The program goes on unabated.
05:37Mel Proffitt was the program.
05:40Again, you surprise me.
05:42Haven't you learned that men mean nothing?
05:43It's organizations that nurture us.
05:45That gives us the means by which we survive.
05:48The organization is now in the form of Susan Proffitt.
05:51And the form of Susan Proffitt is in jail.
05:54I can't get to her.
05:57The success of this program means that I will ensure the salvation of this hemisphere.
06:01I will not have that denied me.
06:04Are we clear on this, Roger?
06:07If we accelerate the program, we're no longer talking economics.
06:11Mm-hmm.
06:13We're talking military coup.
06:17Now, there's half a million in cash stashed in Proffitt's hotel room.
06:22That's enough to start outfitting a mercenary brigade to stage an invasion of Il Pavo.
06:27You're gonna need a hell of a lot more than half a million.
06:29So why don't you dip into the company's piggy bank?
06:32Oh, the whole point is to maintain distance.
06:34The company cannot afford to look like it's involved.
06:38Plausible deniability.
06:40The key is Susan.
06:42Mel is gone.
06:44We deal with Susan.
06:45Even if she were released, I don't think there's enough left of her to bargain with.
06:50You're saying she's unstable?
06:52She's Jell-O.
06:53Well, maybe we could turn her instability into an acid.
06:57I believe Jell-O can be molded into any shape you want.
07:02What about Terranova?
07:04Now is the time to take him out.
07:05Now is the time to find a guy to install as the future president of Il Pavo.
07:11Henri Lalonde.
07:12Born on the island to a prominent family with no ties to the U.S.
07:18An accent you can spread on toast.
07:21He's been in the wings for years.
07:22We plucked him out of high school, sent him to Yale, London School of Economics.
07:25The nice thing about him is he thinks his ideas are his own.
07:30He's here now?
07:32As I said, Roger, the program accelerates.
07:36Strings have to be attached quickly.
07:38I have a man briefing him.
07:41Henri, sorry to interrupt, s'il vous plaît.
07:45Henri Lalonde, this is a colleague, Roger Lococo.
07:49It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. I look forward to working with you.
07:51Have you visited Il Pavo?
07:54No, I haven't. I haven't had the pleasure.
07:56Then perhaps you assume it is simply another atoll on which wealthy Americans can build their condominiums and hire natives
08:04to scrub their toilets.
08:06Actually, I assumed it was an ally in our fight to save the hemisphere.
08:10Insofar as the United States offers us assistance to that end, we will accept it.
08:16But we intend to always steer our own course in world affairs.
08:20The sovereignty of Il Pavo is not for sale.
08:23That's fine, Henri. That's just fine.
08:26Perhaps you'd like to get back to your briefings.
08:31I think you'll work out beautifully.
08:37Are things still rough with Cathy?
08:39We live in the same house. We're not on the same planet.
08:43Have you thought about seeing a therapist?
08:45Our generation has done for therapy what Eisenhower did for golf.
08:50Frank.
08:54I want to get Susan released.
08:55Yeah, I want to go to heaven, but right now neither of our chances look very good.
08:59Frank, the issue here is Lococo and Il Pavo.
09:02He's not trying to corner the market on sugar cane.
09:04Whatever he's doing, he's doing for the agency.
09:06Where's Lococo now?
09:08Oh, I don't know. Why don't you ask her?
09:10I don't know anything about it.
09:12This Caribbean thing is way too big to blow off just because one man died.
09:16But I don't think Lococo could handle it by himself.
09:19Now, I think there's got to be somebody else that he's either reporting to or taking orders from.
09:23Now, you find that guy and you got to...
09:24Wait a minute. You're talking about straddling the line between the Bureau and the agency?
09:28No, I'm not.
09:29I'm talking about crossing over it like it wasn't even there.
09:33You know, the last time I checked, the agency isn't supposed to mess with citizens inside the U.S.
09:37But one of your agents killed the guy on this side of the border.
09:40You don't know that.
09:41I know that as well as I know this in the Department of Metal stuff is a lot of crap.
09:43Thanks.
09:45You are losing it, man.
09:47You sent me in to nail a contract killer named Roger Lococo, which led the profit and right back to
09:51Lococo again.
09:53Susan shouldn't be in custody. Why can't you see that?
09:56We are long past the lecture stage.
09:58Now, I guess it's pretty obvious when it comes to separating job performance from hormonal urges.
10:02I'm on pretty shaky ground myself.
10:04But it should also be obvious I can't release Susan without giving away your whole show.
10:09I'm pulling you out, Vince.
10:12Frank, if you do that, we blow any chance of bringing down the rest of Profit's organization.
10:16Isn't that what the job is?
10:17That is what the job is. And you're too emotionally involved to do it.
10:21Now, you look. You gave us what we need to kill Profit's drug organization in Tennessee and nail down Iupa
10:27and the boys from Brooklyn.
10:28We haven't even scratched the surface yet.
10:30Mel Profit is dead.
10:32Lococo has disappeared, probably to never be heard from again.
10:35Susan is in custody.
10:36And if I know my family, Profit, the police have their woman.
10:40The case is over, Vince. It's over. And you are out!
11:23Your words , You are out!
11:40That is really good.
11:45Oh, Mel, you're such a kidder.
12:14Susan, I want you to tell me what happened
12:17the night Mel died.
12:19Nothing can hurt him anymore.
12:21He's free.
12:22That's all he wanted, to escape the torment,
12:25the pain the world imposes.
12:27Did you help him escape?
12:29Wouldn't you for someone you loved?
12:31Did you tell them?
12:34They wouldn't understand.
12:40Listen, Susan, I have a lot of friends in New York,
12:45people with connections.
12:47And they'll be able to take care of you.
12:50I don't need them.
12:52You're here.
12:53I'm talking down the road.
12:55You know, things change, and if I'm not,
13:00I just want you to know that you're going to be OK.
13:03And these friends of mine will be able to do a lot more
13:05for you than I can.
13:08No.
13:09No one can do more for me than you,
13:11or give me more than you have.
13:15Vinnie, I'm pregnant.
13:18You and I have made a baby.
13:21I think it's going to be a boy.
13:44No one can do more.
13:46I think it doesn't matter.
13:50Doing the Аruns
13:52In One
14:03In One
14:05In One
14:06In One
14:13This whole thing has been some kind of, uh, I don't know, uh, case of mistaken identity.
14:22Now, we're going to have you out of here by the morning.
14:25End of the day.
14:26Absolute latest.
14:27Good.
14:28He would have come down here himself, but he's been on the phone since the moment he heard
14:32what happened.
14:33Now, he's been through the police commissioner, two members of the city council.
14:37When I left, he was screaming at his honor's right-hand girl.
14:41But Vinny was already here.
14:43Vinny?
14:44I'm talking about Mel.
14:46He's promised everything from a $100,000 campaign contribution to the biggest false arrest lawsuit
14:51this city's ever seen.
14:53Mel is dead.
14:56That's a hell of a thing to say about your brother.
14:59Now the guy's trying his damn...
15:00Stop it!
15:03Mel is dead!
15:09Look, uh, everything's going to be fine.
15:15We'll take care of everything.
15:19You just get some rest, citizen.
15:29Where have you been?
15:31Details, Vinny.
15:32A million details that had to be attended to once Mel got his wings.
15:41You look good.
15:43Job hunting?
15:47Susan's under arrest.
15:53Where'd they find Mel's body?
15:55Floating out in the sound.
15:58What was the cause of death?
16:00You're asking me.
16:06You're the only one around.
16:09Lethal injection.
16:11You there when she gave it to him?
16:12No, were you?
16:13Mm-mm.
16:14Needles give me the creeps.
16:22I gotta thank you, Vinny.
16:24For what?
16:27For restoring my faith in romance.
16:30Meaning what?
16:31Meaning motive.
16:32The two with the most to gain from Mel's death were you and Sister Sue.
16:36With an insanely jealous brother out of the way, love is free to reach for new heights.
16:41If you want to talk motive, let's talk about the bank of Il Pavo.
16:45Seems to me there's a new agenda waiting behind door number one, and it goes like this.
16:49With Mel Profitt out of the way, Roger Lococo takes over the bank.
16:53Ow, Vinny.
16:55I don't want a death job.
16:57If Mel had made that Caribbean deal happen, I was looking at $10 million in finder's fees.
17:05Now Mel's out the sea, and so is the deal in my $10 million.
17:09Look, let's face it.
17:10We all hitched our wagons to the star.
17:12But now the survivors among us will recognize that it's time to unhitch.
17:17Take a page out of Martin Borman's book.
17:19So why are you still hanging around?
17:21Susan's gonna need the best legal talent she can get when the cops find that syringe with her prints on
17:25it.
17:26Now, you know, sooner or later, they're gonna tear that house on Long Island apart.
17:29How come there's sudden concern for her welfare?
17:32You got a monopoly on it?
17:34Besides, I like to leave a situation with the strings all neatly tied.
17:40Teachings of youth.
17:42I don't know.
17:43I'll be around.
17:48Yeah, Vinny.
17:50I know you will.
18:10Uh, Detective Mulcahy, please.
18:19Hi.
18:20You all right?
18:22Yeah, I'm just a little nauseous.
18:24Listen, Susan, I want you to try to remember something.
18:27Where did you put the syringe after you gave Mel a shot?
18:31Uh, I put it in a drawer.
18:32I-I put it in a drawer.
18:33Well, which drawer?
18:33In what room?
18:34I put it in a drawer.
18:35I don't know.
18:36I give Mel shots all the time.
18:38They're perfectly legal medications.
18:39Each one prescribed by a doctor.
18:42Vinny, this whole thing is ridiculous.
18:44I shouldn't be here at all.
18:45It's obviously a case of mistaken identity.
18:47What are we gonna do about the house?
18:50House?
18:51What house?
18:52Oh, well, we can't live in hotels after the baby's born.
18:56Or on the boat.
18:57I want him to have something Mel and I never had.
18:59A feeling that he belongs someplace.
19:01A place that is warm and safe.
19:03You know, you haven't once said that you're happy about this.
19:06Well, I guess I'm still a little stunned.
19:11I love you, Vinny.
19:13And I can't wait to have our baby.
19:16Last night, I dreamed I was walking along the cliff.
19:21Near the ocean.
19:22And every so often, Mel would appear.
19:25And I'd run up to him.
19:28And I'd try to put my arms around him.
19:31But I couldn't.
19:38He is gone, isn't he?
19:46I've been thinking about you, son.
19:48Frank told me you're out.
19:49What, are you gonna go someplace warm for a couple of weeks?
19:52Listen, how are those fuses of yours?
19:55They're blown now.
19:57I'm not pulling out.
19:58Vinny, Vinny, we are talking a major violation of procedure.
20:03Susan's pregnant.
20:04Well, I guess the next question's obvious.
20:07Yeah, but the answer isn't.
20:09And until I know it, I can't leave her.
20:10But I do know that she didn't kill Mel.
20:13Listen, what this conversation needs is some eye contact.
20:15Let me give you my 20.
20:17Yeah, but I can't.
20:18I can't.
20:18Her arraignment's set for tomorrow.
20:20Well, then come over now.
20:21What she did was an act of love.
20:23And I gotta make sure she isn't punished for it.
20:26Vinny.
20:27Vinny!
20:31Vinny!
20:33Vinny!
20:37Vinny!
20:37Vinny!
20:37Vinny!
20:38Vinny!
20:39Vinny!
20:41Vinny!
20:42Vinny!
21:02You're under arrest, my friend.
21:04At the very least for breaking and entering.
21:06The very most for the murder of Mel Prophet.
21:15Mel starts pulling strings, the whole world turns into a Punch and Judy show.
21:20Now, you said you'd be out by this morning.
21:22Now, look, he wants you to go back to the hotel, get some rest.
21:26I didn't sleep last night.
21:27Well, you must be exhausted.
21:29Roger.
21:31I have a secret.
21:33Vinny and I are going to have a baby.
21:35God.
21:35He wants you to go back to the house.
21:36Really?
21:36Yeah.
21:37Congratulations.
21:38You know, I thought he'd be here to pick me up.
21:41Ah, well, isn't that the way it always is?
21:42They're never around when you need one.
21:45Fathers, I mean.
21:47Some of them you just can't count on for anything.
21:55Detective Mulcahy, I'm Frank McPike, OCB.
21:58This is Lilla Warfield.
21:59She's with State.
22:00Congratulations.
22:03Uh, excuse me.
22:05Pardon me, you think we might have a moment of your time?
22:08It's concerning the Prophet matter.
22:10I understand you have two people in custody,
22:12a sister and one Vincent Terranova.
22:15Terranova's here.
22:16We'll let the sister go.
22:19What's your interest?
22:20A direct one.
22:21Terranova used his call to contact me.
22:23You can check your logs.
22:24Now, I'd like to see him,
22:25and then I'd like to have him released.
22:27You want to hear his?
22:28On assignment to infiltrate the Prophet organization.
22:31Does his assignment include tampering with evidence
22:33as the scene of a possible homicide?
22:34What was he trying to cover up?
22:36And who for?
22:37Susan Prophet, maybe?
22:39I've seen the lady.
22:40I wouldn't blame her.
22:41Excuse me, Detective.
22:41This case has certain national security implications.
22:45Now, as regards Miss Prophet,
22:46we wouldn't want her taken into custody again.
22:48That would hinder our investigation of other individuals
22:51within the Prophet organization.
22:53Oh, well, I wouldn't want to hinder your investigation.
22:57You Fed rallies really kill me.
22:59You walk in a place to expect everyone to salute the flag
23:02and grab his ankles.
23:03Well, this is New York City, bub.
23:05A sovereign...
23:09What is it?
23:11Analysis of the syringes we found on Terranova.
23:14They're clean.
23:15Never been used at all.
23:16Which means you still don't have a murder weapon.
23:20But I do have your boy in the holding tank.
23:22Until I get word for someone with the authority that counts,
23:25that's exactly where he's staying.
23:29Authority that counts?
23:32Frank, LoCoco set me up.
23:34He knew that I'd go out to that house
23:36and look for whatever was worth finding.
23:38Which is exactly nothing.
23:39The syringes had never been used.
23:41The point is, he tipped off Mulcahy that I'd be there.
23:46All right.
23:47Let's say that's true.
23:49Then let's ask why.
23:50Because he wanted Susan released
23:51and for me to take her place.
23:55Look, Frank.
23:57LoCoco told me that that Caribbean program
23:59was dead in the water.
24:00Now, that's the best reason that I know
24:02to believe that it's going full speed ahead.
24:04Now, with Mel gone,
24:05Susan holds the key to the money,
24:06the influence, whatever LoCoco needs.
24:09The longer I spend in here,
24:10the more time he's gonna have with her
24:11and she's more vulnerable now than ever.
24:14Vulnerable is not a word
24:15I associate with Susan profit.
24:17Yeah, well, that's because you don't know her.
24:18Obviously not.
24:21I don't know.
24:23Maybe we're going after LoCoco's connection all wrong.
24:25Now, there's a cheery thought.
24:27Well, Lil is trying...
24:31Lil is trying to link him to Washington,
24:33but what if that's not where his contact is?
24:35What if whoever he's working with
24:37follows him wherever he goes?
24:39If you're suggesting we put a tail on LoCoco,
24:41he would spot you in a second.
24:43And let me remind you, you are in custody.
24:45Yeah, I am, but you're not.
24:49Look, Vinny, I am doing everything I know
24:51how to get you out of here,
24:52but it's gonna take some time.
24:53Why?
24:54Because this is New York City, bub.
24:59Miles, I don't know.
24:59I don't know.
26:00Food is distributed and you control it all.
26:04Stop that flow and people will be ripping open their neighbors' bellies to get at what's inside.
26:09It's the ultimate act of terrorism, holding entire nations hostage.
26:15I want to know where my sister is.
26:18How can I run the business without her?
26:20How can I live without her?
26:21I need her here, now!
26:25Mel?
26:27Mel?
26:31I love you.
27:13Susie, don't leave me.
27:15I want to know we're part of each other,
27:18locked together, complete.
27:21Remember when we took care of Tommy Martin?
27:23Remember the last thing he said?
27:25I'm afraid of the dark.
27:27I'm afraid of the dark.
28:04I'm afraid of the dark.
28:18All right, Mel.
28:19Well, you can be it.
28:24You can be it this time.
28:30But I can be it next time, okay?
28:34It's only fair.
28:39It's only fair.
28:45Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot, but you gotta understand.
28:48When a guy like Mel Crosby goes up in smoke, the commissioner doesn't sleep.
28:51And that means, well, you know what that means.
28:52Yeah.
28:54Look, I never worked undercover. What's it like?
28:57Well, the pay stinks, but the hours are long.
28:59Well, from one underpaid, overworked guy to another.
29:03Did Susan kill him?
29:06Hey, I got an unstopped murder on my hands.
29:07Now, how do you know that? It could have been a suicide.
29:10They find his body on fire in a boat in the middle of the sound and it's suicide.
29:14Now, how the hell could that happen?
29:15This is New York City, Bob.
29:29If you want, you didn't go
29:29So, you've been playing a rock?
29:31Well, when you were in flames, you might just want to pay off my rent in tidbits.
29:58I asked you not to fall in love with him, but you did.
30:02There was a time when your heart beat only for me.
30:06And now I feel you shutting me out.
30:09It's either all or nothing, Susie.
30:11I won't share you. I can't.
30:15Mel!
30:20Mel!
30:27Mel!
30:29Mel!
30:30Mel!
30:31Mel!
30:32Mel!
30:36Mel!
30:36Mel!
30:42Mel!
31:02Mel!
31:13Mel!
31:16Mel!
31:17Mel asked me to give these to you.
31:19Mel asked me to give these to you.
31:19Oh.
31:22Where is he?
31:24Gee, I don't know.
31:26Gee, I don't know.
31:26You know, Mel likes to keep everybody guessing.
31:29Huh?
31:32Come on, Mel.
31:34Come on, Mel.
31:35I don't want to play games anymore.
31:38Mel!
31:41I have something very important to tell you.
31:54Hey, Uncle Mike, when I was in the hospital, I woke up, you were standing over me.
32:01Removable pins.
32:02Removable pins.
32:03I like to think of it as a fashion statement.
32:05Hey, I'm glad you came by.
32:07Thanks.
32:14This is some place you got here.
32:15Be yet ever so humble.
32:18Listen.
32:19What's on your mind?
32:21It's a company I've been keeping, Uncle Mike.
32:23I heard that.
32:26You know, when I first met Mel and Susan, all I could think about was these were the people
32:31Father Rand Basil warned me about.
32:33They're totally evil.
32:36You know, there may be evil in her, but my kid might be in her, too.
32:43How can I walk away from that responsibility and still look at my face in the mirror?
32:47Who said you should?
32:49But you hit on it yourself.
32:51Your child may be in her.
32:53That's a hell of a big word.
32:54Don't you think I thought about that?
32:56That's all I have thought about.
32:58It could be mine.
33:00It could be Mel's, too, man.
33:02I don't know.
33:03Now, isn't Susan your most reliable source as to who the father is?
33:08Well, she might have been at one time, but there's a wall between us now.
33:15I can't get past it.
33:17She doesn't even know what's there.
33:20You know, I know people who are close to each other, but I've never seen people who were
33:25part of each other the way Mel and Susan were.
33:27They could practically think for each other, and I've never seen anybody suffer for another
33:32person the way Susan did for Mel, and she's still suffering.
33:37Phantom pain.
33:39What?
33:40You lose a part of yourself, and for months afterwards, sometimes even years afterwards,
33:46you still feel the sensations.
33:50The difference between her and me is I know what I lost is never coming back.
33:56You in love with her?
34:00I know I can't leave her.
34:03Not if there's only a one in a million chance at that kid's mind.
34:07Son, if she's not able to tell you the truth, you've got to find someone who can.
34:14Thanks, man.
34:22You keep me posted?
34:23Yeah.
34:41I'm glad you're here.
34:42I've been waiting for you.
34:43Look, it's just like the one Bing Crosby had in Holiday Inn.
34:47Uh huh.
34:48I called the broker, and she's making an appointment for us to go see it in Stanford.
34:52Susan?
34:56Susan.
35:00Marry me.
35:06I just figured that two people that are gonna have a house
35:09and a baby ought to be married.
35:14If I can get down on my knee if you want me to,
35:17I can hire one of those planes with the banners.
35:19Don't. Don't joke about it.
35:24I never expected to have a husband,
35:27a child,
35:29a house in the country.
35:31I never even expected to want them.
35:35But now I want them more than anything.
35:41Yes.
35:42I'll marry you.
35:48But listen.
35:50Uh, before we can get married, we have to have a blood test.
35:55Now, I know this doctor down on Park Avenue.
35:57He's got his own lab.
35:59We can get the results in no time.
36:13Roger.
36:15You're late.
36:17I'm very disappointed in you.
36:19You do that to me again, Herb, I'm gonna reach down your throat
36:22and pull out your spleen.
36:26Did you take care of Terranova?
36:27Don't worry about him.
36:29He's got more problems than he knows how to handle.
36:31A sense of morality can do that to you.
36:37Know what I've got in my hand, Herb?
36:38Oh, down boy.
36:40I expected a reaction, but you're positively Pavlovian.
36:46Access to roughly 100 million of Mel's money.
36:51These are the cards I'm holding.
36:54I'd call that a pat hand.
36:55What are you saying?
36:56What I'm saying is that nobody touches a dime of this
36:59to put Lalonde into office until we're absolutely certain
37:01of who's in charge.
37:03If you're presuming to usurp my authority over this operation,
37:07you are-
37:07We are presuming to usurp the sovereign nation of Il Pavo.
37:10Now, that is going to involve the hiring, training, and equipping
37:14of mercenaries and support units.
37:16I am not going to leave that to bureaucrats.
37:18I do not intend to be the chief suckling at another bay of pigs.
37:22So I suggest that you call Langley
37:25and clear the way for me to control the takeover on site.
37:29Until then, these babies go back into the deck.
37:35See, Herb, the way I see it is that either
37:37we take over this island under my supervision
37:40or I use this 100 million to buy my own little island.
37:44Far from the madding crowd.
37:48Make that call Herb.
38:11Yes, sir, LoCocco wants to maximize his status
38:14with respect to the operation.
38:17I think we should authorize.
38:19He does have the expertise, not to mention access to the financing.
38:23And once Lalonde takes the oath of office,
38:26LoCocco can be de-physicalized.
38:29Yes, sir.
38:31Thank you, sir.
38:36Appreciate you rushing the lab, Doc.
38:38Forgive me, I'm, uh, I'm a little confused.
38:41You said that her pregnancy was confirmed.
38:44So when the results of the test came in,
38:46I phoned Miss Profitt's physician in Vancouver to obtain her history.
38:50You're aware that she spent much of her childhood
38:52in the foster care system down south?
38:55Yes, so what?
38:56In certain institutions which have since ceased to operate,
38:59various experimental procedures were performed on the children,
39:03the long-term results of which were neither anticipated nor publicized.
39:08What's your point?
39:11Vinnie, she was sterilized.
39:14She can't possibly be pregnant.
39:17No, no, no, no, no.
39:20No, she has to be.
39:23She gets, she gets nauseous in the mornings.
39:26Hysterical pregnancies aren't common, but they do occur.
39:31Look, if a woman believes she's pregnant
39:33and believes it strongly enough,
39:35she can exhibit symptoms of a true pregnancy.
39:38But it's a delusion.
39:40In the case of Miss Profitt, it's a fantasy she's created,
39:44undoubtedly an attempt to conquer what is a tragic reality.
39:59I thought Frank would be here already.
40:02God, Vinnie, if you feel anything like you look,
40:04I'd better call an ambulance.
40:06I'm fine.
40:07Did you get anything in, uh...
40:09No, nothing.
40:10None of my folks at Langley know anything about a Caribbean project,
40:13but when Frank called, he sounded like he might have come up with some information.
40:16Willa!
40:19Vinnie.
40:21I've been tailing Lococo.
40:23Now, last night it might have paid off.
40:24He had a meet with this guy.
40:27Herb Ketcher.
40:29He was a company legend back in the Nixon years,
40:31in the Allende project in Chile.
40:33He was supposed to have been a major player.
40:35And then Carter came in and cleaned up.
40:37Last time I saw him, he was in a basement office in Vancouver.
40:41When was that?
40:42A few weeks ago.
40:44Same time Lococo was there.
40:45You're right, Vince.
40:47Lococo's contact's portable.
40:48As long as Lococo's around, I'm hanging with him.
40:51All right, listen.
40:52I got a call from McCahee an hour ago.
40:54They found a syringe in a house on Long Island.
40:56He's gonna re-arrest Susan and charge her with murder one.
41:00Yeah, we'll let him.
41:01Nothing's gonna happen.
41:02Vince, they got a body.
41:03They have cause of death.
41:05Now they have the instrument that administered...
41:07No prosecutor will ever bring this case to trial.
41:09What they're dealing with is a woman who was incompetent to defend herself.
41:17Come here.
41:23She's over the edge, Frank.
41:27I guess it was inevitable, but I didn't want to see it.
41:31Arresting her is pointless.
41:32And so is prison.
41:35That's not where she belongs.
41:54Is she aware of the situation?
41:56No, and I want it kept that way.
41:58Will any restraining devices be necessary?
42:01Absolutely not.
42:04I just want to make sure that she gets the best of everything.
42:06Please don't be concerned, Mr. Terranova.
42:08Lakeview is one of the finest privately-run facilities in the state.
42:11In the country, for that matter.
42:13She'll be perfectly comfortable at all times.
42:15And I can assure you that the treatments that she'll be receiving
42:17from our psychiatrists and staff will be of the highest caliber found anywhere.
42:22Okay, would you hold this for me?
42:24I'll go get her.
42:28Hi.
42:30Hello.
42:32I told Mel about the baby.
42:37He was so happy he cried.
42:39He set up a million-dollar trust fund.
42:42Isn't that sweet?
42:43Yeah, it's great.
42:46Listen, I met with the real estate broker.
42:51We got the house in the country.
42:56That's wonderful.
42:57Yeah, so I figured you'd want to take a run up there
43:00and see about your plans to decorate and everything.
43:02So a couple of guys are going to take you up there.
43:06What about you?
43:07Nah, I couldn't decorate a cake.
43:09I'll meet you up there later.
43:17I've looked through some magazines.
43:19I saw the cutest panda wallpaper for the baby's room.
43:22That's nice.
43:23Are you ready, Miss Prophet?
43:25They must be new.
43:27Yeah, we just, uh, we just hired them on.
43:31I wish you were coming with me.
43:34Yeah, me too.
43:55Bye, darling.
43:56See you at the house.
43:57Okay.
44:07Well, we're ready to begin.
44:09We have our financing, our agent in charge, and our leader.
44:14The man who will bring freedom and stability to the country.
44:18I have your plane ticket right here, Henri.
44:20I was assured that financial arrangements for me and my family
44:24were to be made prior to my return to the island.
44:27Well, there have been.
44:28Three and a half million have been deposited
44:30in two fictitious corporations headquartered...
44:33Not enough.
44:34That was the figure we spoke about months ago.
44:36When the operation existed only in conceptual terms.
44:40Now it is a reality.
44:41Double the amount.
44:43I am not leaving for Ile Pavot until I have an answer.
44:51Yeah, Herb.
44:53He's gonna work out beautifully.
44:56You sure you wanna do this, Vinnie?
44:58Yeah, I have to, Uncle Mike.
45:00Might not even let you see her.
45:01No, I checked with the hospital.
45:03They'll give me five minutes.
45:04I gotta make sure that they're taking care of her.
45:07I just...
45:10What am I gonna say to her when she asks me why?
45:13Ah, you'll find the right words, Vinnie.
45:16Even if you don't, she'll see them on your face.
45:19Thanks, Uncle Mike.
45:54I'll find her later.
45:55In this place...
45:55You can imagine how to be curious like he's approaching thewrong cage
