00:02:25 Good morning, Mrs. Kingsley.
00:02:26 Good morning, George.
00:02:27 Good morning.
00:02:28 How's the baby?
00:02:29 Very well this morning.
00:02:30 Oh, I'm delighted to hear that.
00:02:32 Only one cat this morning?
00:02:34 This was not our cat night, but this little fellow is nearly frozen stiff, so.
00:02:40 Here's to you and those little ones.
00:02:42 Thank you.
00:02:43 Good morning.
00:02:44 [Music]
00:02:52 Good morning, Andrew.
00:02:54 You've been out again all night.
00:02:56 Mm-hmm.
00:02:57 Don't you realize the streets are dangerous?
00:02:59 You could get mugged.
00:03:00 Oh, well, now someone got mugged at high noon on the steps of St. Patrick's.
00:03:05 It could happen anywhere, anytime.
00:03:06 Do you really need another cat?
00:03:08 No, but it needs me.
00:03:11 I'll see you later, Andrew.
00:03:14 Maitland.
00:03:16 Maitland.
00:03:18 Can't you convince my mother to stay home at night?
00:03:21 I doubt it.
00:03:22 If you'll forgive me, sir.
00:03:25 Oh, yes, dear.
00:03:27 You're a sweet little thing.
00:03:28 That's what you are.
00:03:29 You're home.
00:03:31 Oh, you don't have to worry about anything now.
00:03:34 No.
00:03:35 Anything to worry about?
00:03:37 Not at all.
00:03:39 There, cat.
00:03:40 Make yourself comfortable.
00:03:41 See, you've got company.
00:03:42 Isn't that nice?
00:03:43 [Laughter]
00:03:45 Oh.
00:03:46 [Meow]
00:03:47 Oh, thank you.
00:03:50 Thank you, Maitland.
00:03:52 [Sigh]
00:03:55 Oh, that was good.
00:04:00 Maria's preparing your breakfast tray, madam.
00:04:03 May I suggest you have it in bed?
00:04:05 Why?
00:04:06 I'm not sick.
00:04:08 It was a long night, madam.
00:04:11 And I thought you might be tired.
00:04:13 Well, if I'm tired, it's from those long, endless arguments with my son.
00:04:21 You know, I can't remember the last time I heard him laugh, or even smile, for that matter.
00:04:28 Well.
00:04:30 [Laughter]
00:04:31 [Siren]
00:04:40 Fine.
00:04:42 Now, about the new complex.
00:04:47 I think it's a viable project, especially since we can acquire the land for under five million.
00:04:52 There's also the cost of tearing down the existing tenements.
00:04:56 Negligible when you consider the overall picture.
00:04:59 It's going to call for an investment of about $40 million, depending on interest rates, of course.
00:05:05 And the rates are decidedly in our favor right now.
00:05:08 The question is, will Mrs. Kingsley go along?
00:05:11 With her 51%, she can outvote us, as she did with the government contract.
00:05:17 My mother is inclined to be biased about armaments, but this is quite another thing.
00:05:22 And I'm sure I can get her to agree.
00:05:25 No, absolutely not.
00:05:28 They're decaying, rat-infested tenements.
00:05:31 I think you'd be happy to see them torn down.
00:05:33 I would be, if the people who lived in those tenements had a better place to go.
00:05:38 That they could afford, but they don't.
00:05:41 You can't change the world, Mother.
00:05:44 Oh, that's such a poor excuse for doing nothing.
00:05:49 Now, you know how much I admired Father.
00:05:51 Yes.
00:05:52 And I know how much he would have approved of this project.
00:05:55 Oh, no, no, he would not have.
00:05:58 Well, unless he could have provided a decent, low-cost housing for those people who are going to be displaced.
00:06:04 No, I'm sorry, I just can't throw people out onto the streets.
00:06:09 There are too many homeless out there already.
00:06:12 Winos and bums.
00:06:15 Oh.
00:06:18 Good night, Andrew.
00:06:20 Good night, Mother.
00:06:23 Maitland!
00:06:33 Yes, Madam?
00:06:35 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I apologize.
00:06:38 I should be taking my bad temper out on you.
00:06:40 Oh, no, that's quite all right, Madam.
00:06:42 Is there something you wished for?
00:06:44 Um, yes.
00:06:47 It's supposed to snow tonight, and I think we ought to start out early.
00:06:50 Is the cart ready?
00:06:51 Yes, Madam.
00:06:53 Good.
00:06:54 And where are your galoshes?
00:06:56 You know I dislike wearing overshoes, Madam.
00:07:00 Wear them, beast getting the flu.
00:07:03 Mrs. Gainsley!
00:07:25 How are you?
00:07:26 Oh, just fine.
00:07:28 Take that, buy yourself a new sock and a new hat.
00:07:30 Oh, Mrs. Gainsley!
00:07:31 Now, now, now, now, you want some coffee?
00:07:33 No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:35 You take care of yourself, boy.
00:07:37 Oh, Mrs. Gainsley!
00:07:38 Bye-bye, dear.
00:07:39 Mrs. Gainsley!
00:07:40 Professor?
00:07:56 How are you tonight?
00:07:57 Very well.
00:07:58 I'm glad to see you.
00:07:59 Here, I want you to take this.
00:08:00 Oh, no, please, please.
00:08:01 Please do.
00:08:02 Thank you.
00:08:03 How are you?
00:08:04 Oh, fine.
00:08:05 Sandwiches, huh?
00:08:06 Good.
00:08:07 Please, sit here.
00:08:08 Good luck to you, sir.
00:08:09 I'm really hungry.
00:08:12 Look.
00:08:13 Oh, tonight I'm going to...
00:08:14 There you go.
00:08:21 You are going to go to sleep now.
00:08:24 Yes.
00:08:25 That's the way you...
00:08:27 Give me a little kiss in the ear.
00:08:31 Okay.
00:08:32 Okay, kiddo.
00:08:35 Now, you go back to sleep.
00:08:39 Only don't make no mess.
00:08:41 Maria, I still can't decide where to get Maitland for Christmas.
00:08:46 Do you have any ideas?
00:08:47 Sure.
00:08:49 Buy him an airplane ticket to Puerto Rico.
00:08:52 So this way my mother can teach him how to cook.
00:08:55 He's a wonderful cook.
00:08:58 You're just not used to American food yet, that's all.
00:09:01 A pie with kidneys in it is American?
00:09:04 Well, hamburgers is American.
00:09:08 Pizza is American.
00:09:10 You know, my mother, she knows how to cook American.
00:09:13 And she don't even have a stove.
00:09:15 You miss your mother, don't you?
00:09:19 She is my mother.
00:09:21 Of course.
00:09:23 It was a foolish question. I'm sorry.
00:09:26 You miss your grandkids too, huh?
00:09:30 Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I weep for them.
00:09:38 But why they go so far away and they don't come back?
00:09:43 They don't get along with their father.
00:09:45 Why you can't fix it?
00:09:47 I'm afraid it's long past fixing.
00:09:50 And it's a shame.
00:09:52 It's a crying shame.
00:09:55 Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Kingsley, but I've just met with the auditors.
00:10:03 They're pretty upset.
00:10:05 I'm not interested in their emotional problems.
00:10:07 It's about your mother.
00:10:10 What's she done now?
00:10:12 She doesn't write checks.
00:10:15 She doesn't get receipts. She just hands out cash.
00:10:18 The IRS won't accept a tax deduction for charity without proof.
00:10:22 I think Mrs. Kingsley's conduct has gone beyond the point of eccentricity.
00:10:27 Are you saying that my mother is unbalanced?
00:10:30 No. No, no, of course not.
00:10:33 I think Mrs. Kingsley is a remarkable woman.
00:10:36 I just thought you should be apprised of the situation with the IRS.
00:10:40 I'll speak to my mother.
00:10:42 That'll be all, Groton.
00:10:44 Thank you.
00:10:46 Franklin, will you call my mother and tell her I'd like to join her for dinner this evening?
00:11:11 Then come in and bring your book.
00:11:13 Thank you.
00:11:15 Don't you like your salmon?
00:11:26 Fine.
00:11:28 Then why aren't you eating?
00:11:31 Mother, I...
00:11:34 Andrew, let's have it.
00:11:39 Have what?
00:11:41 I mean, you wanted to have dinner with me tonight.
00:11:44 Why do I have to have a reason?
00:11:46 It's Monday.
00:11:48 I know it's Monday.
00:11:50 Well, ever since Marion died, you come to dinner every Wednesday.
00:11:55 Now, you never deviate from your schedule come hell or high water.
00:11:59 So...
00:12:01 I assume you have a reason for coming tonight.
00:12:04 And it's probably an unpleasant one.
00:12:09 Why do I have to be unpleasant?
00:12:11 Because every time you have something unpleasant to tell me, you do it.
00:12:15 Where it won't matter if I make a scene.
00:12:18 Why are you always so suspicious of me?
00:12:20 I'm not suspicious.
00:12:23 It's just that I know you so well.
00:12:26 And, Andrew, if it's about that new complex, forget it.
00:12:31 I'm not going to change my mind.
00:12:33 It's not the complex.
00:12:35 Good.
00:12:37 It's about your personal account.
00:12:40 What about my personal account?
00:12:43 You hand out cash.
00:12:45 Mm-hmm.
00:12:47 Well, is there a law against that?
00:12:50 No, of course not.
00:12:52 But if we're going to claim a tax deduction for the money you give to charity,
00:12:55 the IRS demands proof.
00:12:58 Now, if you wrote checks or got receipts...
00:13:01 Huh.
00:13:04 How can someone, without any identification, cash a check?
00:13:11 I don't see what good a receipt would do
00:13:13 from someone whose only address is a Subway grate or maybe a cardboard carton.
00:13:18 Then why do anything?
00:13:22 You know the Amos Kingsley Foundation donates millions to charity.
00:13:25 Mm-hmm, and it's all tax deductible.
00:13:28 What's wrong with that?
00:13:29 Well, nothing, really.
00:13:31 Maybe--maybe if you paid a little more taxes
00:13:35 and weren't always looking for loopholes,
00:13:38 then the government might--just might--
00:13:42 stop cutting the budget for the needy.
00:13:47 That doesn't make sense.
00:13:49 Well, it does to me.
00:13:52 But then, of course, I didn't graduate from Harvard Business School.
00:13:56 Why can't you just accept the fact that I'm trying to protect you?
00:14:00 Me?
00:14:02 Or my money?
00:14:04 There is a difference, you know.
00:14:10 [indistinct shouting]
00:14:13 [indistinct shouting]
00:14:16 [indistinct shouting]
00:14:19 [indistinct shouting]
00:14:22 Get in the wagon.
00:14:24 [indistinct shouting]
00:14:27 [indistinct shouting]
00:14:30 Quick!
00:14:31 Wait a minute!
00:14:34 Wait a minute!
00:14:35 [indistinct shouting]
00:14:39 Officer!
00:14:40 This is--
00:14:41 Say, never mind Molly.
00:14:42 Officer, why are you arresting these people?
00:14:44 We're not arresting them, lady.
00:14:46 We're just getting them off the street.
00:14:47 The storekeepers complain they're killing their business.
00:14:49 What business?
00:14:50 Dirty bookstores and brothels.
00:14:53 Get lost, lady.
00:14:55 Officer, these people are friends of mine,
00:14:57 and I am not going to see them go to jail.
00:14:59 Not so.
00:15:00 Officer, what are you doing?
00:15:01 Too late.
00:15:02 In the wagon.
00:15:03 Wait a minute!
00:15:04 Get in there.
00:15:07 Get in there.
00:15:09 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:12 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:15 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:18 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:21 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:24 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:27 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:30 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:33 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:36 Mother?
00:15:37 [indistinct shouting]
00:15:40 Mother?
00:15:42 Mrs. Kingsley?
00:15:44 Thank heaven.
00:15:45 I took your time about getting here.
00:15:47 Come on.
00:15:48 We're dropping the charges against you later.
00:15:49 Good.
00:15:50 Oh, wait a minute.
00:15:52 Uh, if they don't go, I don't go.
00:15:55 Bail them out.
00:16:02 Professor?
00:16:03 Molly, come on.
00:16:05 [applause]
00:16:08 [applause]
00:16:11 [indistinct shouting]
00:16:14 [indistinct shouting]
00:16:17 Mother, the car's down the street.
00:16:20 Oh, thank you, Andrew.
00:16:21 Molly, I don't want you to worry,
00:16:23 because I'm going to see to it that the charges are dropped
00:16:25 against both of you two as well.
00:16:27 Oh.
00:16:28 All right?
00:16:29 You know, I think you busted that cop's nose.
00:16:32 I think that cop deserved to have his nose busted.
00:16:35 Good night, Molly.
00:16:36 Good night.
00:16:37 And God bless you.
00:16:38 Take care of yourselves.
00:16:39 Good night, Professor.
00:16:40 Thank you.
00:16:41 You're welcome.
00:16:42 And it was on television and all the papers.
00:16:44 How did you make such a spectacle of yourself?
00:16:47 Really, Andrew, I am in no mood for a lecture,
00:16:50 so just sit on it, please?
00:16:52 [music playing]
00:17:08 My son is furious with me.
00:17:11 He'll cheer up at Christmas.
00:17:13 Not Andrew.
00:17:14 He doesn't like Christmas.
00:17:15 He tolerates it.
00:17:16 Madeline!
00:17:23 Oh!
00:17:25 Madeline.
00:17:26 Madeline.
00:17:27 Madeline.
00:17:28 [music playing]
00:17:31 [phone ringing]
00:17:46 Dr. Nurses Station.
00:17:47 [inaudible]
00:17:49 Madeline?
00:17:50 What happened?
00:17:52 Madam collapsed in the park.
00:17:54 She was still unconscious when the ambulance arrived.
00:17:56 Did you call Dr. Greenspan?
00:17:57 He's with her now.
00:17:58 He's in here.
00:17:59 [inaudible]
00:18:00 I need you to talk to him.
00:18:01 How is she, Annie?
00:18:02 I'm fine, Andrew.
00:18:03 Fine.
00:18:04 See?
00:18:05 There hasn't been time for more than a cursory examination.
00:18:08 Her pressure is elevated, but nothing threatening.
00:18:10 There, you see?
00:18:11 I'm fine.
00:18:13 Nevertheless, I want her to stay in hospital for some tests,
00:18:17 but she refuses.
00:18:19 There is absolutely no reason to make tests.
00:18:22 I'm dying.
00:18:24 You probably are, but we won't know until we take the tests.
00:18:29 Maybe you can talk some sense into her.
00:18:31 [phone ringing]
00:18:32 Dr. Murphy to pediatrics.
00:18:35 Dr. Murphy--
00:18:36 Andrew, ask the nurse to bring my clothes.
00:18:39 I'm going home.
00:18:40 You're not going home.
00:18:41 You're going to stay and do whatever tests Henry
00:18:43 thinks are necessary.
00:18:44 Look, I am all right.
00:18:45 I promise.
00:18:46 People don't collapse unless there's a reason.
00:18:49 Well, that's a jolly thought, I must say.
00:18:51 It's just a precaution.
00:18:53 Well, look, I-- for once--
00:18:55 Just once.
00:18:56 Won't you do what I ask, especially
00:18:58 when it's for your own good?
00:18:59 You really are worried, aren't you?
00:19:04 Of course I'm worried.
00:19:06 Oh.
00:19:09 Yes.
00:19:10 Yes, I'll stay.
00:19:12 I frankly don't think there's any need for it,
00:19:15 but if it's going to make you feel any better, all right.
00:19:19 [music playing]
00:19:22 Hey, she's going to be OK?
00:19:41 Madam appears to be in her usual spirits,
00:19:44 but she will remain in hospital for a few days
00:19:48 for some tests.
00:19:49 Hey, you don't look so hot.
00:19:55 I bet you don't eat all day.
00:19:57 How about I scramble you up some eggs?
00:19:59 Thank you, no.
00:20:01 I have no desire to eat.
00:20:03 Hey, she's going to be OK.
00:20:16 She's going to be OK.
00:20:17 It's an aneurysm, Amanda.
00:20:23 That's an enlargement of the wall of an artery,
00:20:26 like a bubble.
00:20:28 And in this instance, it's inoperable.
00:20:31 I'm very sorry, Amanda.
00:20:39 What you mean is I-- I have a bubble in my head,
00:20:46 and it's going to burst?
00:20:48 That's one way of putting it.
00:20:51 I'm so sorry.
00:20:52 When?
00:20:56 There's no way of knowing.
00:20:59 Oh.
00:21:01 But it can happen any time?
00:21:04 Yes.
00:21:07 Soon?
00:21:09 Soon is relative.
00:21:11 Weeks, months.
00:21:13 But it's inevitable?
00:21:21 I'm so sorry, Amanda.
00:21:24 You dear, sweet Henry, please stop saying you're sorry.
00:21:28 I never thought I was immortal.
00:21:31 I'll tell Andrew.
00:21:32 No.
00:21:33 Oh, no.
00:21:35 No, I-- I don't want Andrew to know.
00:21:39 He's your son, Amanda.
00:21:41 I know.
00:21:42 I know that.
00:21:43 But there's no point in upsetting him over something
00:21:47 that nothing can be done about.
00:21:51 And there's another reason, too.
00:21:54 I don't want what time I have left to be spent being
00:22:01 treated like an invalid.
00:22:04 There are too many things that I have to do.
00:22:09 What about pain?
00:22:11 Minimal.
00:22:13 Oh, thank heavens.
00:22:15 That's a blessing.
00:22:17 Because you know what a chicken I am about pain.
00:22:20 Yes, I know.
00:22:22 Yes.
00:22:24 Um, will I be incapacitated before it happens?
00:22:30 It's unlikely, but--
00:22:32 Good.
00:22:34 Then I want your absolute solemn word of promise
00:22:37 that you will not tell Andrew.
00:22:42 I think you're wrong.
00:22:44 But I'll respect your wishes, of course.
00:22:47 Oh, cheer up.
00:22:49 This is one secret you won't have to keep very long.
00:22:52 That's a hell of a thing to say to a doctor.
00:22:54 Well, I didn't say it to my doctor.
00:22:57 I'm saying that to my friend.
00:23:03 But I'm going to tell Maitland.
00:23:06 Why Maitland and not Andrew?
00:23:10 Because Maitland will probably be with me when it happens,
00:23:15 and I want him to be prepared.
00:23:19 You understand?
00:23:22 Thank you, Henry.
00:23:25 [music]
00:23:34 And, uh, that's it.
00:23:41 Uh, well, everyone dies.
00:23:48 It's just a matter of when and how.
00:23:53 Yes, madam.
00:24:01 Is there anything else?
00:24:05 No.
00:24:07 No, you know everything that I know right now.
00:24:11 Thank you for confiding in me.
00:24:21 Would you like a cup of tea?
00:24:24 That would be nice, yes.
00:24:32 Maitland.
00:24:38 I knew you would handle this well.
00:24:46 Thank you.
00:24:56 [music]
00:25:11 [music]
00:25:21 [music]
00:25:31 [music]
00:25:41 [music]
00:25:51 [music]
00:26:01 [music]
00:26:11 [music]
00:26:21 [music]
00:26:31 You sure you know how to get to Brooklyn?
00:26:34 Yes, I consulted the map.
00:26:37 Good.
00:26:50 But how come you picked me?
00:26:53 Did somebody recommend me?
00:26:55 Uh, no.
00:26:57 I, uh, I took your name out of the yellow pages.
00:27:00 Oh.
00:27:02 But why bother coming all the way to Brooklyn?
00:27:04 I mean, there are plenty of private investigators in Manhattan.
00:27:07 I'm talking about big-time operators.
00:27:09 Yes, I know.
00:27:11 But, you see, my husband opened his first little office about three doors from here.
00:27:18 And it was the beginning of a very successful business.
00:27:22 And since our good fortune started on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn,
00:27:28 I felt that I would be lucky here as well.
00:27:32 I guess that's as good a reason as any.
00:27:36 Okay.
00:27:38 What have you got for me to go on, please?
00:27:40 May I sit?
00:27:41 Please.
00:27:42 Thank you.
00:27:43 Here you are.
00:27:44 Thank you.
00:27:46 Oh.
00:27:48 No, I just thought that they were little kids, that this was some kind of custody hassle.
00:27:52 Oh, no.
00:27:53 Heavens, no.
00:27:54 And, of course, they're much older now than they were in those pictures.
00:27:57 Uh, Josh, he's 22.
00:28:00 24, madam.
00:28:04 That would make Melissa 26.
00:28:07 Melissa is 26, madam.
00:28:11 And Harley is 32.
00:28:14 32?
00:28:18 Oh, it's hard to believe he's been gone so long.
00:28:22 Uh, excuse me.
00:28:23 Would you help me out here and tell me something specific about them, please?
00:28:28 Okay.
00:28:30 Oh, yes.
00:28:31 Well, uh, Melissa.
00:28:33 Hi.
00:28:34 Always wanted to be an actress, even as a child.
00:28:38 She certainly has the good looks for it.
00:28:41 And this one is?
00:28:43 That's Josh.
00:28:44 He has a lovely voice.
00:28:46 And he's especially fond of country music.
00:28:50 That is, he was.
00:28:53 And this one must be, how do you pronounce it, Harley?
00:28:56 Yes, that's Harley.
00:28:58 What can I tell you about Harley?
00:29:00 Except that he was always involved with causes.
00:29:05 What kind of causes?
00:29:07 Well, Vietnam.
00:29:09 He demonstrated against it.
00:29:11 And then he finally left the country to avoid being drafted.
00:29:16 I'm sorry.
00:29:18 I'm going to have to ask you this.
00:29:20 Are they in any kind of trouble?
00:29:22 Oh, no.
00:29:23 No.
00:29:24 No.
00:29:26 No, my grandchildren left home because they were at odds with their father.
00:29:31 And they didn't want me to have to lie about where they were if he tried to find them.
00:29:38 They wanted to spare me.
00:29:41 And I wanted them to have their freedom to make their own good lives in their own ways.
00:29:50 All right.
00:29:51 I'm going to be very honest with you.
00:29:53 If they don't want to be found, and from what you're telling me, they don't want to be found, this is a real long shot, you know.
00:30:02 Oh, yes.
00:30:03 I realize that.
00:30:07 But, Mr. Huffner, something has come up that makes it very important to me that you do find them.
00:30:15 And there's not much time.
00:30:23 Let me see now.
00:30:28 There's $10,000 plus all of your expenses and an extra $5,000 for each grandchild you'll find by Christmas.
00:30:44 Well, if it's not enough, I have more.
00:30:46 No, no, it's enough.
00:30:49 Good.
00:30:51 Then you'll take the case.
00:30:53 I'll take-- I'd be crazy not to.
00:30:56 That is settled.
00:30:59 Where will you begin?
00:31:01 I'm going to try Nashville.
00:31:04 Oh.
00:31:05 And why Nashville?
00:31:07 That's where most country singers try to break in.
00:31:10 I think you said you were lucky here.
00:31:12 I just might get lucky there.
00:31:15 That is very good thinking, Mr. Huffner.
00:31:19 Do you know, the moment I saw your address in the directory, I knew you were the right man for the job.
00:31:36 You've said one word since we left, Mr. Huffner.
00:31:40 Would you like to tell me what's bothering you?
00:31:43 Nothing's bothering me.
00:31:46 Oh, come now.
00:31:48 After 40 years, you don't think I know when you're disturbed about something?
00:31:53 I'm not disturbed, madam.
00:31:56 [music]
00:32:06 Would you like a glass of sherry before dinner, madam?
00:32:09 No, thank you.
00:32:10 I want to talk to you, Maitland.
00:32:12 Sit down.
00:32:13 I should see to the dinner, madam.
00:32:15 The dinner can wait.
00:32:16 Sit down, please.
00:32:24 You disapprove of my hiring Mr. Huffner, don't you?
00:32:29 Quite the contrary.
00:32:30 I very much approve, madam.
00:32:32 Then what is it?
00:32:34 Since you insist, madam, I'm disturbed that you were less than forthcoming with Mr. Huffner.
00:32:44 You, uh, you think I should have told him why I wanted to find my grandchildren?
00:32:54 Yes, madam.
00:32:57 I couldn't do that.
00:33:01 Well, I don't want the children to come home just because I might drop dead any moment.
00:33:11 No, I want them to come because they're ready to put the past behind them and to make peace with their father.
00:33:22 And I don't want Andy to be alone and alienated from his children after I'm gone.
00:33:33 Forgive me, madam.
00:33:36 I should have known.
00:33:40 It's all right.
00:33:44 I could use that sherry now.
00:34:07 Take me to five-star recording.
00:34:26 Okay, next is Thunder Sound Studio, all right?
00:34:43 Change that station, will you, please?
00:34:45 Okay, next.
00:34:47 Lady, all I want to do is deliver a message to him.
00:34:51 Josh's grandma hired you to find him and to ask him to come home for Christmas?
00:34:57 Well, you don't believe me?
00:34:59 I'll be very happy to give you her phone number.
00:35:00 You can check it out for yourself.
00:35:02 No, I guess you're on the level.
00:35:03 Okay, thank you.
00:35:05 Josh is always talking about his grandma.
00:35:07 He's crazy about her.
00:35:11 Well, does this mean you're going to tell me how I can get in touch with him, please?
00:35:17 Well, Josh has been running from bad feelings and bad memories for a long time.
00:35:24 Maybe if you went home for Christmas and faced his daddy, you'd get it out of his system.
00:35:31 Okay.
00:35:35 Okay what?
00:35:38 Josh is on his way to San Antonio.
00:35:40 Thank you.
00:35:42 He got a job there.
00:35:46 Do you mind telling me the name of the place where he'll be working?
00:35:49 It's a place called the Loping Lariat.
00:35:51 Excuse me, the Loping Lariat?
00:35:53 You won't have no trouble finding it.
00:35:55 I don't think so.
00:35:57 You don't have to rush either.
00:35:58 That thing he's driving, it'll take him a couple days to get there.
00:36:03 Thank you.
00:36:06 Loping Lariat.
00:36:09 Mr. Huffner, that is marvelous news.
00:36:13 Yes, and I have no doubt you're going to find those other two scallywags as well.
00:36:18 And thank you.
00:36:20 Thank you so much for calling.
00:36:22 Yes, goodbye.
00:36:24 Well, he found Josh.
00:36:26 He hasn't spoken to him yet, but he will in the next few days.
00:36:29 That's very good news indeed, ma'am.
00:36:32 Oh, indeed it is.
00:36:35 Did you order the tree?
00:36:37 It's much too early for the tree, madam.
00:36:40 No, I don't think so.
00:36:42 I want to be absolutely sure that we get the biggest and most beautiful tree available.
00:36:47 My grandchildren are coming home for Christmas.
00:36:51 It doesn't leave a great deal of time for Mr. Huffner to find Harley and Melissa.
00:36:56 He will. He will.
00:37:00 I'll order the tree, madam.
00:37:03 Thank you. Thank you, Maitland.
00:37:07 Huh.
00:37:33 In case you had any doubt.
00:37:36 Okay?
00:37:38 So, how do I know my father didn't hire you to find me just so he could screw my life up?
00:37:44 Unless your father wears a sable coat and carries a satchel full of cash, I think this is what your grandma...
00:37:51 Yeah, that's my grandma, all right?
00:37:55 How is she?
00:37:57 I only saw her once when she hired me, but she looked fine.
00:38:01 She looked good. Yeah, that's good.
00:38:04 And that's all she said to tell me. She'd like me to come home for Christmas.
00:38:08 That's it.
00:38:10 So, should I tell her you'll be coming home for Christmas?
00:38:15 No.
00:38:17 Look, Mr. Huffner, it's not that I don't want to see my grandmother. I love her.
00:38:23 I just don't want to see my father.
00:38:26 Excuse me. This is really not in my business.
00:38:29 I was hired to find you, deliver a message, and I did. Okay?
00:38:33 You probably think I'm just some rotten kid who's down on his old man, right?
00:38:37 Look, if I wanted to figure out what made people think I would have become a shrink and not a private listener...
00:38:42 I was 12 years old when Harley took off. That made me the heir to the throne.
00:38:49 But, Mr. Huffner, the only thing I cared about was my music.
00:38:53 My father didn't care.
00:38:56 He sent me to a military academy to make this man out of me.
00:39:00 Yeah.
00:39:02 When I got out, I tried. I tried to explain to my father why I kept running away, but he wouldn't listen.
00:39:09 He kept talking at me instead of to me.
00:39:13 Do you know what it feels like when nobody listens to you?
00:39:19 It's not a fact I do yet.
00:39:22 Boss says you all want to obtain me this job. Thanks.
00:39:26 Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to weigh all this on you.
00:39:29 Do you have any idea where Melissa or Harley are?
00:39:31 As a matter of fact, I was hoping maybe you, Bill, can help me out.
00:39:36 Melissa and I kept in touch for a while.
00:39:40 The last time I talked to her, she was in Hollywood, but I don't know where she's even still there.
00:39:44 What about your brother? Do you have any idea where he might have gone?
00:39:48 Probably Canada at first, but he could be anywhere after all this time.
00:39:53 Look, if you do find them, would you tell them where I am just in case they might want to get in touch with me?
00:40:00 Sure, why not, kid?
00:40:02 That's a hell of a big "if" I'm finding them, you know.
00:40:06 Hey, you found me.
00:40:08 My, look, that makes you one hell of a detective.
00:40:11 I happen to be a private investigator.
00:40:14 P.I.
00:40:16 Thank you.
00:40:17 Good luck up there.
00:40:19 I haven't been in your father's office since he died.
00:40:23 Oh, I'm so glad you kept so many of his things.
00:40:26 Well, I like having him around.
00:40:28 Not that I need them to remind me that he was a terrific lawyer and a great father.
00:40:33 And a great friend. I miss him, too.
00:40:36 Cheers.
00:40:37 To life.
00:40:39 Sit down, dear. It's a pain in the neck looking up at you.
00:40:48 Well, shall we get started?
00:40:52 Amanda, are you sure you want to do this?
00:40:57 Well, I'm not committing harry-carry. I'm just changing my will.
00:41:01 I wanted to do it a long time ago, but I just didn't get around to it.
00:41:07 All right.
00:41:08 The changes you want to make are going to necessitate you liquidating all your assets after your death,
00:41:14 including your controlling shares in kingsley international.
00:41:18 Yes. So?
00:41:20 Andrew expects to inherit that control.
00:41:23 Well, so much for great expectations.
00:41:27 This is nothing to joke about.
00:41:30 This is something that should be given a great deal of thought.
00:41:33 Believe me, I have given it a great deal of thought.
00:41:37 Amanda, are you going to tell Andrew you're changing your will?
00:41:40 Oh, of course.
00:41:42 Andrew doesn't like surprises.
00:41:45 You can't do that.
00:41:48 Oh, yes, I can.
00:41:50 Coffee?
00:41:52 Do you realize what you'll be doing to kingsley international?
00:41:56 Yes.
00:41:57 To me?
00:41:59 Yes, but it's not as though you're going to be left destitute.
00:42:04 That's not the point.
00:42:06 Andy, you already have more money than you'll ever be able to use,
00:42:10 plus 49% of the kingsley stock.
00:42:13 Not enough to give me control!
00:42:15 And the children, they still have their trust funds, not that they care.
00:42:20 And as you already know, the amos kingsley foundation was funded by your father in such a way
00:42:27 that makes it perpetually self-sustaining.
00:42:31 This isn't what father would have wanted.
00:42:37 Andrew, what your father wanted was to protect me during my lifetime.
00:42:44 But he also wanted me to be free to dispose of his fortune any way I saw fit at the time of my death.
00:42:52 Oh, Andrew.
00:43:02 I know that I'm a constant source of irritation to you, that we never see eye to eye on anything.
00:43:08 But I was hoping just this once you would understand my need to follow my conscience.
00:43:15 What you are doing is insane.
00:43:18 Why?
00:43:20 If Andrew carnegie can leave his fortunes to universities and to building libraries,
00:43:26 now why can't I leave mine to building shelters for the homeless?
00:43:29 Because I won't let you!
00:43:32 You're my lawyers and I pay you a small fortune to protect my interests.
00:43:38 Can't you come up with something?
00:43:40 Under the terms of your father's will,
00:43:42 Mrs. Kingsley is free to dispose of all he left her when she dies in any manner she sees fit.
00:43:47 I know that, but my father never intended to have her create havoc in Kingsley International.
00:43:52 Kingsley is far too substantial to be affected.
00:43:55 There might be a period of adjustment.
00:43:57 It will no longer be controlled by the family.
00:43:59 That's always been Kingsley International's greatest asset.
00:44:02 I don't need you to tell me that.
00:44:04 What I need is your advice on how to stop my mother.
00:44:08 There is one way.
00:44:11 What?
00:44:13 You can apply to the court and ask them to declare your mother incompetent.
00:44:21 Then we can ask the court to name you her conservator.
00:44:24 Don't you think that's pretty drastic?
00:44:26 Why?
00:44:28 Mrs. Kingsley obviously needs to be protected from herself.
00:44:31 It's not just a matter of the will.
00:44:33 A case can be based on the past eccentric behavior.
00:44:37 If you'll remember, I did suggest just recently that something ought to be done
00:44:40 about Mrs. Kingsley's lack of responsibility in fiscal matters.
00:44:43 I'm opposed to such an action.
00:44:46 It could be a traumatic experience.
00:44:49 Once we petition the court, there will be a hearing.
00:44:52 We'll have to bring in psychiatrists to testify to Mrs. Kingsley's diminished capacities.
00:44:57 We'll have to provide witnesses to her erratic behavior.
00:45:01 It will not only be painful for your mother, but for you as well.
00:45:05 There's bound to be publicity. Unpleasant publicity.
00:45:09 [music]
00:45:36 Do it.
00:45:39 [music]
00:45:53 You don't think I enjoy doing this, do you?
00:45:55 You want it?
00:45:57 Well, then why do it?
00:45:59 I haven't any choice.
00:46:01 Oh, that's nonsense.
00:46:03 People always have a choice.
00:46:05 It's simply a matter of making the right one.
00:46:08 You know, if your father were alive,
00:46:15 he would beat the living daylights out of you.
00:46:18 If father were alive, this wouldn't be necessary.
00:46:21 It's not too late to call off the hearing.
00:46:24 All you have to do is change your will back to what it was.
00:46:27 Oh.
00:46:29 Now, don't hold your breath.
00:46:33 I'm going to fight you, Andy.
00:46:36 I'm going to fight you, and I'm going to win.
00:46:39 [speaking Spanish]
00:46:53 Teatro.
00:46:54 Theater, theater!
00:46:56 Where, where, where?
00:46:58 [speaking Spanish]
00:47:02 My senora is in this theater.
00:47:06 Now?
00:47:07 [music]
00:47:11 Smile.
00:47:13 Okay.
00:47:14 Stretch.
00:47:16 Point.
00:47:18 And then, keep your head up.
00:47:20 Okay, keep your head up.
00:47:22 [music]
00:47:28 Oh, that was great.
00:47:29 Good.
00:47:30 That was great.
00:47:32 Okay, toy soldiers, line up.
00:47:34 Come on, guys.
00:47:35 Come on out here.
00:47:37 Sugar Plum--oh, mothers.
00:47:39 No, mothers on stage.
00:47:41 The children will expect you every time.
00:47:42 Now, come on.
00:47:43 Did you see me, Granted?
00:47:44 All right.
00:47:45 Sugar Plum Fairies, off left.
00:47:47 Excuse me.
00:47:48 Left is that way.
00:47:49 Excuse me, Miss Kingsley?
00:47:52 Please, could you--
00:47:54 I don't want to talk to them.
00:47:57 I'm a private investigator from New York.
00:48:00 I'd like to talk to you for a couple of minutes when you finish up here, if that's okay with you.
00:48:04 All right?
00:48:07 Kingsley's not my name anymore, so I have no idea how you found me.
00:48:13 But if you're working for my father, the answer is no.
00:48:16 Excuse me, ma'am, I don't know your father.
00:48:18 Your grandmother's the one who hired me.
00:48:20 [laughter]
00:48:28 That's my favorite picture of my grandmother.
00:48:30 Thank you.
00:48:32 Why don't we go out on the deck?
00:48:33 It'll be cooler.
00:48:35 I don't scare you living on the edge like this, Martha.
00:48:37 [laughter]
00:48:38 No, only when the earth moves.
00:48:40 Which it does from time to time.
00:48:42 I see.
00:48:43 Okay.
00:48:44 [laughter]
00:48:48 You're pretty good, you know, finding me the way you did.
00:48:51 To tell you the truth, I was about to toss in the towel
00:48:54 when it suddenly occurred to me that you might have gotten married, so...
00:48:57 Well, that only lasted about a minute and a half.
00:49:01 I only got married to spite someone, which isn't very admirable, I guess.
00:49:06 But you kept his name.
00:49:08 Kingsley's my father's name, and he's the person I was trying to spite
00:49:12 by marrying the first and worst man that came along.
00:49:14 I'm sure you have your reasons.
00:49:19 Look, I've been pretty tough on you, haven't I?
00:49:22 Ah, come on.
00:49:24 In my line of work, you don't expect to win any popularity contests.
00:49:29 So, uh, are you going to New York tomorrow?
00:49:32 No, no, um, I'm going to Canada.
00:49:35 Why Canada?
00:49:37 Your kid brother told me that that's probably where Harley went during Vietnam, so...
00:49:42 But that was ages ago.
00:49:44 That's the only shot I got.
00:49:48 You're really running yourself ragged, aren't you?
00:49:51 I didn't think it showed.
00:49:56 Actually, I have been thinking of giving myself a day off.
00:50:01 Being out here and everything, I thought maybe I'd, you know, take in the sights.
00:50:07 Well, I could be your guide.
00:50:11 I don't have rehearsals tomorrow, and I'd be glad to show you around.
00:50:14 Why?
00:50:16 Because I'm kind of nasty to you, and I'd like to make it up to you.
00:50:22 Do you always look a gift horse in the mouth?
00:50:26 I'm no genius, but I've never been accused of being stupid.
00:50:29 I thank you for the offer.
00:50:36 My father thought it was ridiculous of me to think of becoming an actress.
00:50:43 So I enrolled in acting school without telling him.
00:50:48 And then I fell in love with one of the students.
00:50:52 And when I told my father I was going to get married,
00:50:56 I gave my intended husband $50,000 to go away.
00:51:01 And he did.
00:51:02 He did?
00:51:04 Sounds like your old man was right about this guy.
00:51:07 That's not the point.
00:51:08 Stop it.
00:51:09 I don't understand.
00:51:10 What is the point?
00:51:14 The point is my father was trying to teach me that money could buy anything,
00:51:18 including people.
00:51:22 I get it.
00:51:24 [music]
00:51:38 It'll be even prettier from up here when all the Christmas lights are on.
00:51:42 Yeah?
00:51:47 What does that mean?
00:51:49 That you're not going to come East for Christmas?
00:51:54 I don't know.
00:51:57 It's not that I don't want to.
00:51:59 I love my grandmother.
00:52:00 Look, excuse me.
00:52:02 This is probably none of my business,
00:52:04 but it really wouldn't have cost you anything to let your grandmother know where you were all these years.
00:52:09 But it would have cost her.
00:52:13 For as long as I can remember, she had to act as a buffer between our father and us.
00:52:17 And I know it really hurt her.
00:52:20 And I don't want that to happen again.
00:52:29 Look, we better go now.
00:52:32 You can roll your plane tomorrow.
00:52:57 Please try to relax, Molly.
00:52:59 I'll stay right here with you until you fall asleep.
00:53:03 It's not a crock.
00:53:07 Dying just before Christmas in a dump like this.
00:53:16 They don't even let no flowers in here.
00:53:22 You're right.
00:53:23 It is a crock.
00:53:27 I'll be right back.
00:53:40 Orderly for what do you stand?
00:53:42 Orderly for what do you stand?
00:53:45 I would like you to call Dr. Greenspan.
00:53:47 Tell him I want a room for Molly at the private pavilion.
00:53:50 And then arrange for an ambulance to come and transport her.
00:53:53 Very good.
00:53:54 She's resting now.
00:53:56 I'm afraid I imposed on you, Mrs. Kingsley, but there's no one else I could call.
00:54:02 If it's no imposition, believe me, I'm glad you called.
00:54:05 Dr. Weintraub, this is the last one.
00:54:08 Dr. Weintraub, this is the last one.
00:54:11 Oh, wow.
00:54:14 Oh, wow.
00:54:16 Oh, wow.
00:54:45 I've never seen so many flowers.
00:54:52 I'm dying like I was somebody.
00:54:59 You silly girl.
00:55:01 You are somebody.
00:55:06 You're a child of God, Molly, who loves you dearly.

01:02:35 You are a child of God, Molly, who loves you dearly.
01:02:39 Everybody loves Grandma.
01:02:41 What does that mean?
01:02:43 It means that I don't buy it.
01:02:45 I heard exactly the same thing from your brother and from your sister.
01:02:48 If you really love your Grandma so much,
01:02:50 she shouldn't have had to hire me to come looking for you,
01:02:53 no matter how rotten your relationship was with your father, for crying out loud.
01:02:56 She's an old lady.
01:02:58 She's your Grandma.
01:03:00 The next time you see her, you might be at her funeral.
01:03:05 I understood your question, sir.
01:03:08 English is my native language.
01:03:11 Well, kindly answer it.
01:03:13 Don't you think it was foolish for Mrs. Kingsley to go to Skid Row
01:03:17 with thousands of dollars in a satchel?
01:03:20 I thought it was a sensible thing to do,
01:03:23 since neither Mrs. Kingsley nor I
01:03:26 have sufficient room in our pockets to accommodate her.
01:03:30 Neither Mrs. Kingsley nor I
01:03:33 have sufficient room in our pockets
01:03:36 to accommodate such an amount of cash.
01:03:39 You know what I mean, Mr. Maitland.
01:03:42 Most people would think it bizarre
01:03:44 to carry around a fortune in a satchel.
01:03:46 What would have been bizarre is if it had been in a trunk.
01:03:50 We're not here to entertain the public, Mr. Maitland.
01:03:58 But were you present when Mrs. Kingsley assaulted the police officer
01:04:01 and broke his nose?
01:04:03 Correction, sir.
01:04:05 It was I who broke the officer's nose,
01:04:07 and it was he who did the assaulting.
01:04:09 Quiet, please.
01:04:19 We'll move on to other matters.
01:04:21 Isn't it a fact that Mrs. Kingsley bought $6,000 worth of toys
01:04:25 from an exclusive toy store just a short time ago?
01:04:28 Yes.
01:04:30 Well, don't you think that's a rather exorbitant amount of money
01:04:34 to spend on toys?
01:04:36 Not if the toys were for children's hospitals
01:04:39 and juvenile facilities.
01:04:41 And to anticipate your next question,
01:04:45 Mrs. Kingsley spends a similar amount of money
01:04:48 on toys every Christmas
01:04:50 and has done so for the past 20 years or so.
01:04:53 Thank you.
01:04:55 That was my next question.
01:04:57 I have here a receipted hospital bill which Mrs. Kingsley paid.
01:05:01 It was for a bag lady.
01:05:03 I find that, um, offensive, sir.
01:05:06 Her name was Molly Gottschalk,
01:05:09 and she was a homeless, destitute woman
01:05:13 who was dying.
01:05:19 Mrs. Kingsley had her transferred from Bellevue to a private hospital.
01:05:24 The room bill and the doctor's bill comes to $5,400.
01:05:29 Is that correct?
01:05:31 It is.
01:05:33 Destitute people can die without charge at Bellevue.
01:05:36 You may find that comforting, sir.
01:05:40 I don't.
01:05:42 Most people aren't so cavalier with their money.
01:05:47 I also have a florist bill which Mrs. Kingsley paid.
01:05:51 $800 for flowers delivered to the private room in the private hospital.
01:05:56 That doesn't include the flowers for the funeral.
01:06:00 And then there's the cost of the burial plot and the internment.
01:06:05 Yes, I was getting to that.
01:06:08 Don't you think that's a lot of money to pay for a stranger?
01:06:14 If you are suggesting that Mrs. Kingsley's acts of charity are irrational,
01:06:21 let me suggest that you bind Corinthians 1 equally so,
01:06:26 to quote, "And now abideth faith, hope, charity."
01:06:33 These three.
01:06:34 But the greatest of these is charity.
01:06:39 Mr. Jameson asked you a couple of questions,
01:06:42 and I'm going to do the same.
01:06:44 It's called cross-examination.
01:06:47 You don't have to explain.
01:06:49 I saw it all on TV.
01:06:51 Cross-examination is when you try to trick me, huh?
01:06:55 [laughter]
01:06:57 All I want from you is the truth.
01:07:00 Mrs. Kingsley has numerous cats.
01:07:03 Can you tell me how many?
01:07:05 Who counts?
01:07:08 You don't like cats, huh?
01:07:10 Some cats I like better than people.
01:07:14 [laughter]
01:07:17 Well, don't you find it strange that she has so many cats in an apartment?
01:07:23 It's a big apartment.
01:07:25 In Puerto Rico, there are so many cats.
01:07:29 It's a big apartment.
01:07:32 In Puerto Rico, the house where I live is not so big as one room in this apartment.
01:07:39 Really?
01:07:43 Well, your family must be able to afford a much larger house.
01:07:46 Mrs. Kingsley gives you money to send to them, doesn't she?
01:07:50 Every month.
01:07:54 And she say that when they are ready,
01:07:57 she's going to bring them all here from Puerto Rico.
01:08:02 That's very generous of her.
01:08:04 How many in your family?
01:08:06 Uh...
01:08:12 Nine.
01:08:13 But I'm counting one aunt, and she's only a maybe.
01:08:18 Mrs. Kingsley's going to pay for all their plane fares?
01:08:21 Well, how else they get here?
01:08:24 Only God can walk on water.
01:08:27 Very true.
01:08:29 Thank you, Miss Estevez.
01:08:31 You've been very helpful.
01:08:39 I understand your field was philosophy.
01:08:42 I also taught English literature.
01:08:47 I'm impressed.
01:08:50 It's hard for me to understand how someone with such obvious gifts could end up on the street.
01:08:56 I was terminated when the budget for my department was cut.
01:09:00 I soon exhausted all my savings.
01:09:05 I'm very sorry.
01:09:08 The budget cuts.
01:09:23 Were they the only reasons that the university let you go?
01:09:29 They fired you because you're an alcoholic, didn't they?
01:09:32 An alcoholic, a falling-down drunk,
01:09:35 a man who preferred to present himself to Mrs. Kingsley in a much more sympathetic light.
01:09:39 He took advantage of a rich and vulnerable old lady.
01:09:42 That is enough!
01:09:44 You have absolutely no right to speak to this man in that manner.
01:09:48 What kind of human being are you?
01:10:02 Mr. Jameson,
01:10:04 I would like to see you and your client in chambers.
01:10:07 Fine.
01:10:08 That goes for you, too, Mr. Groton.
01:10:16 I understand that you are overwrought, Mrs. Kingsley.
01:10:18 I am not overwrought.
01:10:20 I am outraged.
01:10:22 However, that's not the reason we're asking for this delay, Your Honor.
01:10:25 We see no reason for a delay, Your Honor.
01:10:27 We feel we've made our case and a decision is forthcoming.
01:10:30 May I ask why you want a delay?
01:10:32 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:10:35 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:10:38 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:10:40 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.

01:10:54 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:10:56 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:10:58 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:00 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:02 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:04 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:06 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:08 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:10 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:12 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:14 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:16 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:18 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:11:20 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.

01:18:56 Mr. Jameson, I would like to speak to Mr. Groton.
01:18:58 Well, Marion, she was your wife.
01:19:02 And the only thing she wanted when she was dying
01:19:06 was to hear you say you loved her.
01:19:09 You weren't even with her when she died.
01:19:12 You know I had to be in London.
01:19:14 There was a great deal of money involved.
01:19:16 And I had a responsibility to the shareholders.
01:19:18 I inherited that responsibility.
01:19:20 I had to prove that I was as capable as father, didn't I?
01:19:22 Why?
01:19:24 Did you think I would love you any less because you weren't?
01:19:27 Oh, Andrew.
01:19:29 Love. Real love.
01:19:32 It's unconditional.
01:19:34 Then why did I feel I had to earn it?
01:19:36 Why did I always feel that I wasn't included in what you had with father?
01:19:39 But you were.
01:19:41 I was not.
01:19:43 I wasn't going to let that happen again, and I didn't.
01:19:45 Oh, God.
01:19:55 It is impossible.
01:19:58 Excuse me, madam.
01:20:00 Would you like your dinner in front of the fire tonight?
01:20:02 Is something wrong?
01:20:08 Because...
01:20:13 Because Emmis and I were so much in love,
01:20:15 and we never hesitated to show it,
01:20:18 Andrew grew up believing that he wasn't a part of it.
01:20:23 That he was excluded.
01:20:26 Oh.
01:20:30 Oh, that poor little boy.
01:20:33 Oh.
01:20:37 How lonely he must have been.
01:20:40 How insensitive of me
01:20:45 not to have seen what was happening.
01:20:51 Minton.
01:20:53 I've been so blind for so many years,
01:20:56 I just...
01:20:58 I just pray to God that my son can forgive me.
01:21:01 You've done nothing that requires forgiveness.
01:21:04 Oh, but I have.
01:21:06 If Andrew can't show love or even express it,
01:21:11 then it's... it's got to be more my fault than it is his.
01:21:17 Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:21:20 I'm so sorry.

01:22:24 (knocking)
01:22:27 It's seven o'clock. When will the company come?
01:22:35 People come whenever they please. When it's open house, Berea.
01:22:38 Bring in the eggnog.
01:22:41 (music playing)
01:22:44 Well, it all looks beautiful. You've outdone yourselves.
01:23:00 Thank you, madam.
01:23:02 Uh, you didn't forget the pine cones, did you?
01:23:04 No. The cones are in the basket by the fireplace.
01:23:08 Good. I want it to smell as beautiful as it looks.
01:23:12 Uh, were you able to get a hold of Andrew?
01:23:15 Andrew hasn't been in his office all day, madam.
01:23:18 But I left word with his secretary that you wanted to see him this evening.
01:23:22 Well, um, perhaps...
01:23:25 perhaps you'd better put a note under his door.
01:23:28 I've already done that, madam.
01:23:31 Company! Pine cones.
01:23:34 Berea, bring in more eggnog cups.
01:23:37 I'll see to the door.
01:23:40 Leave the door open, Maitland.
01:23:46 There should always be an open door on Christmas Eve.
01:23:49 Yes, madam.
01:23:52 Thank you very much.
01:23:58 Oh, merry Christmas, Mr. Huffner.
01:24:01 Merry Christmas to you, too.
01:24:03 Oh, how nice of you.
01:24:05 Oh, my, that's lovely.
01:24:07 - Come in. - Thank you.
01:24:09 - Maria. - Yes, madam?
01:24:10 Put this on ice, will you? And we'll have it with supper.
01:24:13 - Okay. - Oh, my.
01:24:15 I, um, I was brought up in a home.
01:24:18 - You were? - Yeah.
01:24:19 - They call them orphanages now. - Oh, yes.
01:24:22 I used to sit around and try to imagine...
01:24:26 what a real Christmas would be like.
01:24:29 Oh.
01:24:31 This is it.
01:24:34 That's a lovely thing to say. Come in.
01:24:38 Thank you.
01:24:41 Oh, would you like an eggnog?
01:24:43 Um...
01:24:44 Or maybe a drink. Maitland will get you a drink if you prefer.
01:24:48 It's Christmas. Eggnog.
01:24:49 Eggnog, certainly.
01:24:52 I see you're expecting a lot of company.
01:24:56 Oh.
01:24:57 Mr. Jameson, he's my attorney.
01:24:59 He usually makes this the last call of the evening.
01:25:03 And then there are the people from the Sullivan House.
01:25:06 But they won't come until after their own party.
01:25:09 And, of course, my son...
01:25:12 and...
01:25:14 my grandchildren.
01:25:15 Mrs. Kingsley, about your grandchildren...
01:25:17 I don't know what time they'll get here, but they will get here.
01:25:20 Please.
01:25:22 Thank you.
01:25:24 Would you like an hors d'oeuvre?
01:25:25 - Not at the moment, thanks. - Oh.
01:25:32 Have you been keeping yourself busy?
01:25:34 Yes.
01:25:35 I closed my office.
01:25:38 You mean for the holidays?
01:25:39 Uh-uh. For good.
01:25:41 Oh, but why?
01:25:43 You're such a good detective.
01:25:46 Uh, investigator.
01:25:48 Thank you for remembering.
01:25:49 No, I'm not gonna give that up.
01:25:51 I just think it's about time I got out of Brooklyn.
01:25:54 Oh.
01:25:55 And where will you go?
01:25:57 I've been thinking about moving to Los Angeles.
01:26:01 I like the climate.
01:26:03 You do?
01:26:05 You see this?
01:26:22 Josh made it for me.
01:26:24 And he wrote the piece of music that's inside of it, too.
01:26:26 That's nice.
01:26:27 On his 16th birthday.
01:26:28 It was wonderful.
01:26:29 Music.
01:26:30 Maria.
01:26:31 Si, madam.
01:26:32 Would you please put on some Christmas carols?
01:26:34 Anything.
01:26:35 Yes, madam.
01:26:37 Are you starving?
01:26:38 No.
01:26:39 Oh, thank heaven.
01:26:40 'Cause we're not gonna sit down until all of the guests arrive.
01:26:42 All right?
01:26:44 Now, this is Harley's.
01:26:46 He made it yet, though.
01:26:48 Come on.
01:26:50 [music]
01:27:06 It's quite late, madam.
01:27:08 Would you like me to serve dinner?
01:27:11 Oh, no, madam.
01:27:12 We'll wait for the children.
01:27:13 Thank you.
01:27:15 [music]
01:27:34 Mr. Huffner, would you push that log before it falls?
01:27:38 Thank you.
01:27:40 [music]
01:28:04 I know you're disappointed, Mrs. Kingsley.
01:28:07 [music]
01:28:16 Oh, Miss Frostrammel.
01:28:18 Oh, no, indeed.
01:28:20 I expected you.
01:28:22 Oh, Alyssa.
01:28:24 Oh, Josh.
01:28:27 Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
01:28:31 Oh, we didn't even know ourselves.
01:28:33 Until yesterday.
01:28:35 I didn't call Josh.
01:28:36 But Lissa called me already.
01:28:38 I didn't even know how to reach Josh until Morris and Mr. Huffner left his number with me.
01:28:43 And with me.
01:28:44 Oh, he did.
01:28:46 Oh, wait.
01:28:47 I almost forgot.
01:28:49 Grandma, this is Patty.
01:28:52 We're getting married.
01:28:54 Oh, well, that is a surprise.
01:29:00 I've got another surprise for you, Grandma.
01:29:03 This is Nora.
01:29:05 Nora, God bless you, dear.
01:29:09 And this is our little boy, Adam.
01:29:13 Oh, Adam.
01:29:16 Well, you are my best Christmas present.
01:29:19 Let me see you.
01:29:21 Oh, you're beautiful.
01:29:23 Give Grandma a big kiss.
01:29:25 Thank you.
01:29:26 Grandma.
01:29:27 Yes, honey.
01:29:28 What?
01:29:30 It's taken us a long time to grow up and realize that usually there's a reason why people act the way they do.
01:29:38 Yes, there is.
01:29:40 And maybe we didn't try to understand Father any more than he tried to understand us.
01:29:45 Oh, sweetheart.
01:29:48 So if you'll give us another chance, we'd like to try, too.
01:29:55 I just can't tell you how happy you've made me.
01:29:58 All of you, I'm so thrilled to have you here.
01:30:03 [laughter]
01:30:06 Oh, Josh.
01:30:08 [laughter]
01:30:10 [music]
01:30:18 Good dad.
01:30:21 Excuse me.
01:30:22 Andrew.
01:30:25 Please, come in.
01:30:26 No, thank you. I just thought I'd give you this.
01:30:31 Oh.
01:30:33 What is it?
01:30:35 The document's voiding my request to be your conservator.
01:30:40 No one needs a conservator less than you.
01:30:48 Thank you.
01:30:51 Oh.
01:30:55 I know I haven't always understood you, Andrew.
01:30:58 But there never was a moment that I didn't love you.
01:31:03 I want you to know that.
01:31:06 And I want you to believe that.
01:31:09 It's very important for both of us.
01:31:13 Mommy says you're supposed to be my grandfather.
01:31:18 This is Adam, Harley's little boy. His son.
01:31:29 I'm not supposed to be your grandfather, Adam.
01:31:34 I am your grandfather.
01:31:56 Merry Christmas, Mother.
01:32:06 Merry Christmas, Mom.
01:32:10 Merry Christmas.
01:32:21 Merry Christmas, Father.
01:32:38 Welcome home.
01:32:46 Oh.
01:32:49 Oh.
01:32:59 Oh.
01:33:27 Are you all right, Adam?
01:33:31 Come in, quickly. Look.
01:33:33 Look, there on the terrace.
01:33:37 Oh.
01:33:39 Oh, perfect.
01:33:41 Merry Christmas, Mother.
01:33:43 Oh, Merry Christmas to you too, Maitland.
01:33:52 Merry Christmas.
01:33:55 Merry Christmas.
01:33:58 Merry Christmas.
01:34:01 Merry Christmas.
01:34:04 Merry Christmas.
