Opal: That puny piranha
is just playing you.
Palmer: She reminds me of me.
Maggie: I feel like you have
this whole scheme going --
me, Tim, and putting us together
like bread and butter.
David: How did Maria get
to Opal?
Maria: I've got to find out
why that woman is after me.
Aidan: She's going to be
at the SOS tonight.
We should go down there
and ask her.
TODAY’S - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
[Music plays]
Kendall: Hey, hey, hey, hey!
You want to get us kicked out
of here?
Petey: You're a dud.
Kendall: You're a pain
in my --
Petey: Hi, Daddy!
Palmer: Mm-hmm.
Kendall: Oh, Mr. Cortlandt.
Ought you were working late.
Palmer: Yes, obviously.
Peter, a word of advice --
the pellets work better
if they're wet.
Petey: Cool!
Palmer: I have some advice
for you, too, and let's cut
the "Mr. Cortlandt" hooey,
shall we?
Bianca: Okay, so all these multi-nuptial things are
beginning to scare me.
Maggie: Oh, it's kind of sweet,
isn't it, in a little --
Bianca: Mm-hmm.
Maggie: I don't know,
old-fashioned kissy kind of way.
Bianca: Hey!
Just look over there.
"Sweet" just walked in the door.
Maggie: There you go again!
Bianca: There I go again
with what?
Maggie: The wink,
the elbow every time he walks
into our space.
Bianca, it's getting really old,
really, really old.
Edmund: You guys --
Hayley: Hey.
Edmund: Look, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to rush you --
Hayley: No.
Edmund: You guys know how
to throw a party.
Hayley: Yay!
Brooke: Yes, sir.
Mateo: Well, our family has
a lot to celebrate.
Hayley: Yeah.
You know, Maddie and Sam have
celebrated themselves
into Nonnie Land.
[Brooke laughs]
Edmund: What, did they crash
in the office?
Brooke: Listen,
I'll check on them, ok?
Hayley: I'll go with you.
Edmund: Whoa.
Brooke: Whoa.
Mateo: Oh, you guys are going
to have a good life together.
Edmund: Yeah.
Listen, thank you for
everything -- I mean, this whole
thing, this party, and it means
a lot considering --
Mateo: Hey, are you happy?
Edmund: I am.
Mateo: That's everything
Maria would want for you.
Edmund: Remember how she used
to love to party?
Mateo: Oh, yeah, Maria.
She's probably smiling down
on this one right now.
[Outside SOS]
Maria: I don't know.
Maybe this it a good time.
Aidan: If you want answers,
they're on the other side
of this door.
Maria: Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
Aidan: Come on. Come on.
Opal: Whoo! Yeah!
You have got your great uncle
Stratton’s moves and then some!
Tad: Ah, Uncle Stratton --
winner of the tri-state village
idiots contest.
Opal: Yeah, the very one.
Must be in the genes.
Tad: Yeah.
So is being a lousy father.
Opal: Don't you say that.
You have been a great daddy
to JR and to Jamie.
Tad: Come here.
J.R.: Hey.
Tad: Hey.
Opal: Don't you "hey" me.
I want a kiss.
You got a seltzer?
J.R.: Sure. Why not?
Tad: Mateo said you
offered to work
the late shift.
J.R.: Yeah, well, I don't
have anything else to do,
so why not?
Tad: I tell you what --
I'll stick around
and I'll drive you home.
J.R.: Oh, no, I'm covered.
It's ok. Don't worry about it.
Tad: Well, then,
I'll wait up for you.
J.R.: No, I'm good.
You don't have to.
Tad: I know I don't have to.
I -- I want to.
J.R.: All right. Fine.
I'll get these to the kitchen.
And I'll meet you.
Opal: You see?
It's going to work ok
between you two.
Tad: I hope so.
I promised myself and Dixie.
Opal: Well, then,
it's as good as kept.
Excuse me a minute.
Tad: Anna.
Anna: Hi.
Tad: So nice to see
you without David.
Anna: Yeah.
I thought he'd be here,
actually.
Tad: Well, you could always
check the punch bowl.
That's usually his
favorite spot.
Anna: No, I -- I --
he's delayed, that's all.
It's a little while.
[David arrives at Wildwind and finds the front door unlocked]
David: So much for security.
Maureen?
David: Maureen?
David: Maureen?
Are you here?
Aidan: Maureen,
it's going to be ok, ok?
Maria: I mean, that sign
there.
It says "Congratulations,
Brooke and Edmund."
Everything --
this is not right.
This is, like, their pre-wedding
party or something.
Aidan: Hey, well, we're just
going to talk to the woman.
We agreed.
She's got all the answers.
Maria: No, this not right,
though.
Don't you see this is really
bad timing?
Aidan: If we don't do this
now, we may not get
another chance.
Maria: There's too many
n there.
Aidan: Maureen, come on.
Come on, now.
Let me help you do this.
Aidan: What are you
waiting for?
Maria: You know,
but what if --
Aidan: Come on, let's go!
Maureen!
Oh, man.
[Maureen/Maria runs away]
Kendall: I can explain
to you why Petey and I are here.
Palmer: I have no doubt.
Peter, why don't you treat
yourself to a Roy Roger?
Petey: With extra cherries?
Kendall: Hmm, great.
More sugar.
So, what's your advice?
Palmer: I heard about
your alliance with Greenlee,
something about a revenge scheme
against Erica?
I want you to stop it.
Kendall: Well, of course,
of course.
Bianca came crying to you.
Palmer: It would be best
if you abandon your plans.
Kendall: What, did Erica put
you up to this?
Palmer: Nobody puts me up
to anything.
Now, I want you to stop
this now.
Kendall: There is no "this."
Not yet, anyway.
I mean, Greenlee's a hard sell.
But I'll tell you what --
if Erica wants you to save
her behind, she must really
be scared.
Palmer: She doesn't even know
the meaning of that word.
Kendall: Hmm, she will when
Greenlee and I are done
with her.
Palmer: You said
she wasn't onboard.
Kendall: She will be.
The temptation to cream Erica
is way too good.
Palmer: You really think
you can beat Erica at what
she does best?
Kendall: Hey,
I am my mother's daughter.
I know how to get exactly
what I want.
Palmer: Is that why
your boyfriend went off
on a motorcycle without
any explanation --
Kendall: Hey --
Palmer: And your address
until recently was that jalopy
you call a car?
Kendall: You know,
if it weren't for Erica,
I would have everything that
I ever wanted.
Palmer: You are
your own worst enemy.
Kendall: Of course you would
take her side.
Palmer: It's not a matter
of taking sides.
I don't want to see
anybody hurt.
Kendall: Including me?
Palmer: Listen, you can gun
for Erica at home or in business
and you will never get
the slightest bit
of satisfaction in the end.
Kendall: Well,
how do you know?
Palmer: I just know.
Trust me -- these things always
look better on paper.
Kendall: You have no idea how
she's ruined my life, palmer.
Palmer: The ruining
of your life is in your hands,
not Erica’s, nobody else's.
Kendall: No,
you don't get it.
You don't get it.
For once, for once, Erica is
going to know what it's like
to be kicked to the curb!
Palmer: Well, you're going
to need something better than
a pea shooter to beat Erica.
Kendall: Well, what would
you suggest -- napalm?
Palmer: You need somebody
on your side who can play
the game as well as she does.
Kendall: Like who?
Palmer: Me.
[Bianca giggles]
Tim: Hey, girls.
Bianca: Hey!
Maggie: Hello.
Tim: You still celebrating
Bianca’s new gig at Enchantment?
Bianca: Oh, I wouldn't call
it celebrating.
I'm drowning my sorrows
and terror.
Tim: Ooh.
What are you drinking?
Bianca: Sodas.
Tim: Hard stuff, huh?
Maggie: Oh, yeah,
with extra ice.
Tim: It is kind of hot,
isn't it?
[Tim goes to refill the drinks]
Bianca: Well, hello!
Maggie: See, that!
See, that is what
I’m talking about!
Bianca: Maggie,
you saw it, I saw it.
Tim saw it.
Maggie: Bianca,
why do you even care?
Bianca: I'm just calling them
like I see them.
Maggie: Well, you're being
a huge pain in my butt.
Bianca: I don't understand
what the problem is.
Tim is a total hottie.
If I were into guys,
I'd be into him.
Maggie: You are unreal
sometimes.
Bianca: Maggie,
clearly he wants you.
Maggie: Uh --
have you ever noticed how
his smile is kind of lopsided?
Bianca: Yes.
Yes.
Maggie: Well, that's what
sort of made me want to kiss him
the other day.
He's a pretty good kisser.
Bianca: Whoa!
You -- you wanted to --
Maggie: No, no, well,
I didn't see it coming,
either, but -- oh, it did.
Bianca: Tim kissed you?
Anna: Thank you.
Well, he's not at the hospital,
either.
Tad: Are you sure he still
works there?
Anna: You know what?
You need to stop being tiresome.
Tad: Or maybe he just got
smart and realized he wasn't
welcome here.
Anna: It's fine for
you to hate my husband
privately, but he is still
my husband.
Tad: And you know what?
You're lucky because there's
a cure for that.
Anna: Why are --
Brooke: Anna and David are
my guests tonight, so this is
a feud-free zone.
Got it?
Tad: Sure.
I got it.
Mateo: Hey, blue eyes.
Brooke: I'm sorry.
Anna: No, it's really fine.
Brooke: No, really.
Mateo: Blue eyes,
Myrtle's on the phone.
She wants to give some props.
Hayley: Is she still
under the weather?
Mateo: I have no idea.
Brooke: Oh, all right.
Will you excuse us?
I'm sorry about --
Anna: No, no, it's ok.
That's ok.
Just waiting for my husband.
David: Oh, come on.
Aidan: What happened?
Did you recognize someone?
Did someone frighten you?
Maria: No. No, no, no, no.
Aidan: Then what?
Maria: I just --
I couldn't face her like that.
Aidan: Yeah, but Brooke
English can help you.
Maria: I don't know. Can she?
Aidan: Well, yeah.
I mean, she knows who you are.
That's a step ahead of us.
Maria: Oh, maybe the past is
just better left staying
in the past.
Aidan: Yeah, but, no,
not when you're this close
to finding out who you are.
Maria: Maybe that's not such
a good thing.
Aidan: For who?
These could be your friends
and family here.
You know, don't they deserve
to know that you're still alive?
Maria: Yeah, but what if that
would hurt them?
I don't know.
Maybe -- maybe I should just --
I should just leave.
Aidan: Well, I think
you should speak to this Brooke,
you know, and find out why
she was looking for
you at first, and then get
some answers and then go
from there.
Maria: No, no, no, no.
It's not that simple.
Aidan: What are you
so afraid of?
Maria: Me.
Aidan: Why?
Maria: All those years that
I’ve been running and I've been
running away from who I was
and what I did.
Aidan: What did you do?
I mean, all this running can
really wear someone out.
Maybe it's time that
you stopped.
Maria: Yeah, well,
I've gotten pretty good at it.
Aidan: Hey, why don't
you come sit down.
Why are you so spooked?
I mean, whatever it is that
you did, you know, I can
help you.
Maria: I -- I really --
I want to trust you,
Aidan, I do.
But I can’t.
Petey: If you catch this,
you can keep it.
J.R.: Right, and if I don't,
I pay you.
I think I've played this game
before, ok?
Forget it.
Petey: Come on.
It's cinchy.
J.R.: Fine.
One time, though, ok?
Mm-hmm.
Petey: Sorry.
This is mine now.
Opal: Hey, what are my two favorite fellows doing tonight?
Petey: J.R.'S teaching me
a new game.
Opal: He is?
Petey: Right?
J.R.: Kid's a fast learner.
Opal: Well, Petey really
looks up to you, honey.
I'm glad you're getting to spend
a little time together.
Petey: Careful of the hair,
Mom.
Opal: So sorry.
You be a good boy, all right?
Petey: Ok.
Opal: All right.
That goes for you, too.
J.R.: Of course.
Opal: All right.
Petey: I don't have
all night.
It's almost my bedtime.
J.R.: Double or nothing.
Edmund: You two look serious.
Tell me there's nothing serious
going on here.
Hayley: Actually, there is.
Mateo: But it's good.
Hayley: Enzo’s doing so well they want us
to bring him to the hospital
in New York as sort
of an example all the good
that can happen.
Edmund: Really?
Kind of an Enzo victory tour.
Hayley: Right.
Mateo: Yeah,
sounds about right.
Edmund: Hey, why not?
Hayley: Yeah.
I think they just want to raise
living donor awareness.
Edmund: When do they want
you there?
Mateo: As soon as possible.
Hayley: But no worries.
We told them that we had
a wedding we had to be at first.
Mateo: Mm-hmm.
Edmund: I don't have any
of those anymore, and neither
should you.
Kendall: You want to help me
take down Erica?
Palmer: No, you
misunderstand.
I want to make sure that Erica
doesn't destroy you.
Kendall: Well, she's tried
her damnedest and I'm
still here.
Palmer, I don't need
your protection.
Palmer: You remind me of her.
Kendall: Ok, if that's
a compliment, then you need
to work on how you word things.
Palmer: Just an observation.
Of course, Erica always learns
by her mistakes, and I can only
hope that one day she can accept
you as her daughter.
Well, there's always a chance,
isn't it?
Kendall: Oh, come on, palmer.
A mother-child reunion?
Come on.
Palmer: I owe it to Erica
and to you to do everything
I can to make that day possible.
That's why I want you to end
this scheme you have
with Greenlee tonight.
Kendall: Oh, ok.
Now I get it.
Palmer: What?
Kendall: I am so onto you.
I know exactly what you're
up to.
Bianca: So,
you and Tim.
He kissed you, huh?
Maggie: Actually,
I kissed Tim.
Bianca: You did?
Maggie: Yeah!
Well, he was throwing out those
cheese-ball lines, you know.
I had to shut him up some how.
Bianca: So you kissed him.
Maggie: Yeah, I kissed him.
Bianca: What's the verdict
Maggie: On a scale
of one to 10?
Guess.
Bianca: That's great.
Maggie: It was just a kiss.
It's no big deal at all.
Bianca: No, I mean it
seems like you don't really
need me -- I mean, my help.
Maggie: Well, that's what
I was trying to tell you,
you know?
Bianca: So,
you going to start seeing Tim?
Maggie: Right now?
Right now I just want to figure
out why you're acting like such
a freak all of a sudden.
Bianca: I'm not acting like
a freak.
Maggie: Yes, you are.
Until I told you that I kissed
Tim, you were all about us,
but now --
now what are you doing?
What's up?
Brooke: Having a little
snack?
Anna: Yes.
I didn't get to congratulate
you properly.
Brooke: Oh.
Anna: I've never seen Edmund
look happier.
It's -- and, you, too.
Brooke: Oh, thank you,
thank you.
Anna: The way he looks
at you is --
Brooke: That's a good thing?
Anna: Yes.
Brooke: I'm the lucky one.
Anna: Well, I --
I'm just going to go make
a phone call.
Brooke: Ok.
Anna: Ok.
Brooke: Thank you.
[Brooke sees an earring on the floor,
she picks it up]
Isabella: Brooke!
You found it!
Brooke: This is --
Isabella: It's Maria’s!
Maria: This is my life,
and there is no reason
for you to be involved in it.
Aidan: Right, but it is
a phantom life -- I mean,
a life of always being
on the run.
I mean, is that the kind of life
that you want?
Maria: Maybe it's the life
that I deserve.
Aidan: Yeah, but whatever
it is that you've done,
we can deal with it.
Maria: How would
you know that?
How would you know?
You don't even know me!
Aidan: Hang on.
I know you've been trying
to search for the past
for a long time, and I also know
that the desire for the truth is
stronger than the fear.
I can't help you, and -- I mean,
I can't help you unless
you level with me.
What are you so scared of?
David: Where the hell
are you, Maureen?
Maid: Hello?
Is somebody there?
[Five years earlier – David and Maria talk while sitting in a car]
David: I meant everything
I said.
You will be safe in Nevada.
Maria: You're sure?
David: All you have to do is
get on that plane and all
your troubles will be over.
Maria: Yeah.
You make it sound so simple.
David: I've taken care
of everything.
Maria: What is that?
David: Your freedom --
cash, plane ticket,
documentation confirming that
you are now Maureen Gorman.
That is the name you chose
for yourself, right?
Ok, Maureen, well, you have
an apartment and a part-time job
waiting for you.
All you have to do is take
the leap.
It's all right there.
Maria: Isn't there some
other way?
David: It's the only way that
I can make sure that
you're protected.
Maureen,
your life depends on this.
Aidan: What did you do that
was so terrible that you'd skip
out on your rent and not pay
for your parking tickets?
Maria: I killed a man.
Kendall: I will never
reconcile with Erica.
It's never going to happen.
Palmer: Promise me something?
Kendall: What?
Palmer: That in the midst
of your scheming, you'll stay
on as Peter’s babysitter.
He's quite taken with you.
Kendall: That's because
I don't cower down to his father
like everyone else does.
Palmer: Or you let him do
whatever he wants.
Kendall: I do not.
Palmer: Then why
is he gambling?
Kendall: I will put a stop
to that right now.
Opal: Hey, there,
Mr. Cortlandt!
Palmer: If this is going
to be another harangue about
Kendall, I --
Opal: I overheard what
you said just now.
Palmer: That was
a private conversation.
Opal: You want Erica
and Kendall to have some sort
of a future together.
Palmer: Well,
it's up to them.
Opal: Well, you were making
it happen, though, weren't you?
Boy, Dixie would be so proud
of her Uncle Palmer.
Palmer: Good lord, woman.
Don't make more of this
than there is.
Opal: You're an old softy.
You're not kidding me with that
big heart of yours.
Palmer: Rubbish!
I don't have a heart.
Everybody knows that.
You've told me so many times.
Opal: Well, I was mad.
Palmer: You were right.
Opal: No, I don't think so,
palmer.
Palmer: Now, if you'll excuse
me, I'm -- I’m going
to congratulate the happy groom.
Bianca: Look, I wasn't trying
to hook you guys up.
I just thought you're so great
and you'd make a great couple.
Maggie: But we're not
a couple.
Bianca: Not yet.
Tim: Some cola --
Bianca: Oh.
Tim: And cola with extra ice.
Maggie: Ah, thank you.
Tim: Sorry it took so long.
Some kid just conned me out
of $10.
Did I miss anything?
Maggie: Just girl talk.
Isabella: I've been looking
for this everywhere.
Thank you so much.
Brooke: What did you mean
when you said it was Maria’s?
Isabella: Oh, this was her --
these were her favorite.
After she died,
Edmund gave them to me.
Whenever I wear them,
I feel as if Maria’s close by.
Does that sound silly?
Brooke: No.
No, not at all.
Isabella: I knew
you'd understand.
I wanted to wear them tonight
so that part of Maria could be
here to share our celebration.
She'd want Edmund to be happy
again, Brooke.
I know it.
Brooke: Thank you.
Edmund: Oh, I think you two
have made up.
Am I interrupting something?
Brooke: No.
Isabella: I was just telling
Brooke how happy I am for both
of you.
Edmund: You want to make
me happy?
Isabella: Hmm?
Edmund: Dance with me.
Isabella: Oh,
con mucho gusto.
Tad: Are you all right?
Aidan: You killed someone?
When? Who?
Maria: I -- I just did.
Ok?
Aidan: Is that why
you've been on the run?
Maria: Yeah.
Aidan: I've come in contact
with many killers, but
I’m sorry, you don't fit
the profile.
Maria: How would you know?
Aidan: Because I've been
in the mix with killers.
And really, you don't remind me
of one.
Maria: Well, do you think
I made this up?
Aidan: No, but I --
I think something has gone down
and someone's pulled the wool
over your eyes.
And you killed someone?
I'm sorry,
but I don't believe it.
[Five years earlier – the conversation with David continues]
David: It's not like you have
any choice, Maureen.
You have to disappear.
You do trust me, don't you?
Maria: Yeah.
David: Ok, well,
then you know that I’m doing
this for your own good.
Maria: I know.
I feel like if I could just
remember what happened,
then I could get rid of this --
David: We know what happened,
we both do,
and so do the police.
Maria: There's got to be
some other way.
David: All right, look,
you want to hang out here
and explore your options?
That's fine with me,
but just be assured that
the cops will find out and most
likely you will spend the rest
of your life in some hellhole.
Now, is that
what you really want?
Maria: You'll never see me
again.
[David talks to himself]
David: Why did you have
to come back?
Guard: Mind telling me who
you are and what the hell you're
doing here.
Kendall: What have I told
you about gambling?
You know better, don't you,
Pete?
Petey: You're just a sore
loser, and you still owe me.
Pay up, deadbeat.
Palmer: Ahem!
Petey: I'm sorry, Kendall.
I won't do it again,
cross my heart.
Anna: No, no,
there's no message, thank you.
Thank you.
Maggie: Hello, Anna.
Anna: Hi!
Maggie: How are you?
Anna: Well, I saw you over
there with that guy.
He seems kind of cute.
Maggie: Wait till you see
his scar, yeah.
Hmm.
Anna: Ok.
Maggie: Believe me,
you do not want to know.
So this party isn't so bad.
Anna: No.
Maggie: I thought it was
going to be a little --
but it's not.
It must be all that love.
Anna: Yeah. It's in the air.
Maggie: What's that about?
Anna: Nothing.
Maggie: No, no, no,
you're hiding something.
Come on. Tell me.
Anna: Maybe I have something
to be happy about.
Maggie: Ooh. Spill. Tell me.
Anna: No, no, no. No, no, no.
Maggie: No, you cannot do
that to me.
Come on, spill -- now, now.
Anna: Oh, I'm so horrible
at keeping secrets.
Maggie: Ooh, goody.
Anna: You have to promise
that you won't tell anyone.
Maggie: Promise,
cross my heart.
Anna: I'm late.
Maggie: You're late?
You're late late?
You're --
oh, my --
have you taken a pregnancy test?
Anna: No -- tonight.
I'll have to do it
when I get home.
Maggie: I'm going to be a --
I don't know what I'm going
to be!
[Anna laughs]
Maggie: Oh, gosh,
that's incredible!
Congratulations.
Anna: Thank you.
So you have to promise now.
Maggie: Promise.
Not even big d.
Anna: Oh,
especially not David.
No, don’t.
I want to tell him myself,
you know, when I’m sure.
Maggie: You know,
where is David anyway?
David: I am a doctor.
Guard: You're kind of far
from the hospital, aren't you?
David: Well, actually,
I'm covering for Dr. Lukas
Mitrani -- the family physician?
Guard: Still doesn't answer
my question.
David: I received a page
from his service telling me that
there was some kind of a medical
emergency here.
Guard: How did you get in?
David: I walked right through
the front door.
I'm sure Edmund won't be too
happy about the lax security.
Guard: Who's sick,
a family member?
David: Well,
I can only assume.
Guard: Funny --
the whole family's at a shindig
for Mr. Grey and his fiancée.
David: Are you kidding?
This damn service.
I've had the most trouble
with them, it's unbelievable.
Look, I'm sorry for
the misunderstanding,
but I'll -- I'll be happy
to show myself out.
Guard: Not that you're lying,
but I wouldn't want Mr. Grey
to think security is lax.
So why don't we let the police
sort this one out?
Mateo: Ok, everybody --
everybody, first of all,
we're out of food and booze,
but thanks for coming anyway.
Today is a special day for me
personally.
I've been waiting for this
a long time.
Edmund --
Edmund’s one of the most
generous and loving men I've
ever known, and he met his match
in Brooke.
Brooke and Edmund,
I hope you two eternal happiness
together.
You both deserve it very much.
Woman: Hear, hear.
Mateo: I want to make
a toast – to Brooke and Edmund.
All: Hear, hear!
[Cheers]
Tim: Ah.
Have you ever experienced
my two left feet?
Maggie: Are you asking me
to dance?
Ooh -- oh!
Opal: Hey, Honey!
Congratulations on the job!
Bianca: Thank you!
Opal: Erica's just tickled
purple.
Are you excited?
Bianca: Actually, yes.
Tell me I'm nuts.
Opal: Well, good! Good!
Now, I think that she is just
so proud of you.
Bianca: Yeah, well, you know,
I couldn't let her tackle
Kendall and Greenlee all
by herself.
Opal: It means more
than you know.
Just having somebody who'll
believe in you can make all
the difference in the world.
Bianca: Yeah.
Tad: What's going on?
Brooke: Nothing.
Nothing!
I'm marrying the man I love
and I'm going to start
a wonderful life.
What could be wrong?
Tad: Maureen Gorman?
Brooke: You know what
that was?
It was the curse
of an overactive imagination.
Tad: Well,
I'm happy you're so happy,
but that's kind of sudden,
isn't it?
Brooke: Hmm --
I love this song.
Can we dance?
Tad: Hey, in a minute.
You know, I know you pretty
well, and I would bet cash money
that you haven't just erased
our little trip out to Nevada
from your hard drive.
Brooke: Tad,
it was a mistake, ok?
I understand that now.
Tad: And you're just going
to forget that it happened?
Brooke: What happened?
Heat, hunger, dehydration,
I thought I saw a ghost
from Edmund’s past -- end
of story.
Tad: Just like that?
Brooke: Just like that.
You saw Maureen.
You said it wasn't Maria.
Did you lie?
Tad: No.
Brooke: So why aren't we
on the dance floor?
Come on.
Tad: Cut the crap.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Aidan: There's no --
there is no way this is true.
Maria: It's true.
Aidan: Then I’ve got to get
this checked out to be sure.
Maria: No, you can’t.
You can’t.
Aidan: Why not?
Maria: Because you would lead
them right to me.
Aidan: So? What?
Are you going to run every time,
you know, you see someone
looking at you funny?
Maria: Well, I really don't
have any choices.
Aidan: Yes, you do.
You have plenty of choices.
Maria: I've got plenty
of choices?
I've got the choices
you gave me.
I've got going on TV
or crash somebody's party!
No! No, thanks.
Aidan: Well, how about
telling the story to somebody
that you trust, let
them investigate?
Maria: Like you?
Aidan: Yeah. I'm here.
Maria: Aidan, look,
can we just drop this, please?
Aidan: I mean,
but we're so close.
Maria: No, no, no!
You don't understand!
Look, I know that you want
to help, I know you do,
and I really appreciate that,
but you've got to swear to me
that you, please, will not tell
a single soul.
Aidan: Sure. Fine.
Maria: Ok.
Thank you.
God.
I need -- I need a minute.
[Maria goes into the bathroom – Aidan makes a phone call]
Aidan: Chief Devane,
she's not just anybody.
Tad: Damn it, Brooke,
answer me.
Brooke: I am a woman who's
in love who's about to start
a fairy-tale life.
Why can't you just let me
be happy?
Tad: I'd like nothing more,
but under the circumstances,
I'd say --
Brooke: Didn't you say
that I deserved this,
that I should be happy?
Didn't you tell me that?
Tad: I did, and --
and you should, but --
Brooke: So then why are
you so concerned about
my happiness?
Maybe you should just go off
and find your own.
Edmund: Ladies and gentlemen,
can I have your attention,
please?
Gather round, gather round
I’d like to propose a toast
to the lady of Wildwind
and my heart.
Her passion for living,
her devotion to the truth,
and her uncanny ability to make
me laugh at 2:00 in the morning
have made me happier than I have
ever been.
To the love of me life,
Brooke English.
Aidan: Oh, is Chief Devane
there, please?
Well, can you --
it's urgent.
Can you get her to call me
as soon as possible?
It's Aidan.
Ok. Thanks.
Aidan: Are you feeling better?
Maria: Yeah. Much. Thanks.
Aidan: I'm sorry.
I'm sorry if I pushed
you too hard.
Maria: No, actually,
it was the first time I've ever
told anybody that, so it felt
good to get it out.
Aidan: Sure, well,
I'm just going to forget
you even told me.
Maria: Oh.
I'm starving to death.
Are you?
Aidan: Yeah.
I mean, do you want me to order
a pizza?
Maria: No.
You know what?
I'm really, really feeling like
a cheeseburger and some fabulous
chili cheese fries.
Aidan: You are?
Maria: Yeah, I am.
Would you mind?
Aidan: No, sure.
I mean, I'll go get some,
but I really don't think
you should open the door
with anybody, ok?
Maria: Aye, aye.
Aidan: All right.
Maria: Ok. Thanks.
[Maria dials star-69]
Man: Pine Valley
police department.
Maria: Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. You lied to me.
You're on their side.
David: Are you not
hearing me?
I'm a doctor.
People's are depending
on me while I'm waiting for some
rent-a-cop who wants to play
Inspector Jeauvaire.
[Doorbell rings]
Guard: Here's your chance
to tell the real cops.
David: Great.
Hopefully they'll know
the difference between a doctor
and a petty thief.
Guard: Yes, ma'am.
He's right here.
[Anna walks in and is shocked to see David]
ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Anna: This has to stop now,
tonight.
Tad: I want you to help me
to prove that people don't come
back from the dead.
Kendall: Maybe I can
help you.
Aidan: You saw someone
like the woman I described?
Isabella: I know this isn't
easy for you, watching
your brother-in-law move
on with someone else.
