Captain J.J. Jones: Mrs. Collins. You can leave the boy. She'll take care of him. Sit. Oh, you've caused us quite a bit of trouble, Mrs. Collins. This situation has become an embarrassment for the entire police department.
Mrs. Collins: It wasn't my intention to embarrass anyone.
Captain J.J. Jones: Oh, no, of course not. You just told the papers we couldn't tell one boy from another as a compliment for the months we spent working on your case. You trying to make fools out of us? Is that it? You enjoy this?
Mrs. Collins: Of course not. I want you to find my son.
Captain J.J. Jones: You know what your problem is, Mrs. Collins? You're trying to shirkyour responsibilities as a mother.
Mrs. Collins: What?
Captain J.J. Jones: You enjoyed being a free woman, didn't you? You enjoyed not having to worry about a young son. You could go where you wanted, do whatever you wanted, see anyone you wanted. But then we found your son, and we brought him back. And now he's an inconvenience to you. And that's why you cooked up this scheme, to throw him to the state and get the state to raise him for you. Isn't that true?
Mrs. Collins: That is not true!
Captain J.J. Jones: No? Well, even the boy says he's your son. Why would he say that? How would he know to do that?
Mrs. Collins: I don't know. I just know he's lying.
Captain J.J. Jones: Oh, maybe so. Maybe he is a liar. But that's how he's been trained, isn't it? Lying was born in both of you. You're a liar and a troublemaker and, if you ask me, you got no business walking the streets of Los Angeles.
Mrs. Collins: Now wait a minute.
Captain J.J. Jones: Because either you know you're lying, or you're not capable of knowing if you're lying or telling the truth. So, which is it? You a derelict mother? Or just plain nuts? 'Cause from where I sit, those are the only options.
Mrs. Collins: I'm not gonna sit here and take this.
Captain J.J. Jones: You want experts? You want doctors? I have a few of my own. Matron. Mrs. Collins, you still insist that the boy out there is not your son?
Mrs. Collins: Yes, I do.
Matron: Please, don't struggle.
Mrs. Collins: What? No!
Matron: You'll only hurt yourself. What are you doing? Hold still.
Mrs. Collins: You can't just do this. No, you can't.
Captain J.J. Jones: You are to convey the prisoner to the Los Angeles County General Hospital Psychopathic Ward.
Mrs. Collins: What?
Captain J.J. Jones: You are to make the following entry. Defendant states she's been deceived by police and others, and that we have given her a boy and tried to make her think it is her son when she says it is not. Take her away.
Mrs. Collins: No. No, no. Please. Please.
Matron: Come on, Mrs. Collins.
Mrs. Collins: No. No.
Man: This way.
Captain J.J. Jones: Mrs. Collins has been known to us since about March 10th, 1928 when she reported her nine-year-old son, Walter, missing. The boy was gone until August 1928. Since his return, she has complained that he is still missing and has made repeated requests that he be found. She suffers from paranoia, delusions of persecution and dislocation from reality. She may be a threat to herself or others. We recommend that she be conveyed to the psychopathic ward until her senses can be restored.
Matron: Got another code 12.
Doctor: Name?
Matron: Collins. Christine.
Mrs. Collins: No, no, no, listen, this is a mistake.
Doctor: Certifying officer?
Matron: Captain J.J. Jones, Lincoln Heights Division.
Mrs. Collins: No, no, please! Please! The police are trying to punish me...
Doctor: If you keep it up, I'm gonna have to put you in a straitjacket. Do you want that?
Mrs. Collins: No, ma'am.
Doctor: Then behave yourself. Code 12.
Woman: I'm not mad! Please.
