CAGNEY AND LACEY: TRUE CONVICTIONS (1995) summaries
Aired January 30, 1996
Chris' next door neighbor's boyfriend is shot, right outside her nice doorman building. This isn't her case, but when the neighbor commits suicide, she gets involved with the girl's (married) father. Of course, Mary Beth doesn't approve, but maybe the father arranged the murder? In the crime case, our heroines are working on the first capital murder case in New York in many years, and of course Chris shoots her mouth off. The Lacey plot line concerns Harvey's dislike of capital punishment and Alice's attempt to take a knife to school. By now, there are no other characters left from the original series except Harvey and Alice.
In this feature-length film Cagney and Lacey become involved with a terrifying murder and Christine realizes the dead man's hysterical girlfriend is her neighbor and she soon dies of a drugs overdose. Meanwhile Mary-Beth and Harvey are having marriage problems and Cagney, who is awaiting her final divorce papers, begins a relationship with the father of a dead girl who could also be her killer.
(approx 89 mins) PG. The world's most popular female crime-busting duo return in this movie-length adventure. When a drug-related drive-by shooting occurs in front of Christine Cagney's (Sharon Gless) apartment building, Christine finds herself becoming romantically involved with the deceased's girlfriend's father. Meanwhile, Mary Beth Lacey (Tyne Daly) and Christine are assigned as special investigators for a capital murder case, which causes a strain in Mary Beth's relationship with her husband Harvey (John Karlen), who opposes the death penalty.
