Kendall: You sound a lot like
him.
Trey: Richard Fields?
Richard Fields' voice: Get
this message to your chief.
Trey's voice: Please leave
a message at the beep.
Erica: You found my father?
You had no right to do that.
Greenlee: I'll make sure Leo
never sees you again.
Vanessa: Not while I’m in charge.
Anna: Joe, how's the baby?
TODAY’S - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
[VANESSA’S HOTEL ROOM]
Vanessa: Oh.
Rubies.
Color of blood.
Color of betrayal.
Oh.
Far, far too dramatic for sweet
little Nessa.
Oh.
No.
Nothing says "Mother" like
pearls.
[Knock on door]
Vanessa: Um --
please come in.
Gary: Mrs. C?
Mr. Kenyon's back.
Vanessa: Oh, Trey, Darling.
I was so hoping you'd drop by.
Oh.
Oh, thank you, dear.
Trey: Well, you look well,
Mother.
Vanessa: Oh, considering this
depressing weather.
But you look perky.
Trey: Well, I’m in a good
place now, thanks to you.
Vanessa: Me?
What did I do?
Trey: Well, for starters,
you led us to the Proteus stash.
Vanessa: Oh, Darling, I was
so heartbroken when Leo told me
that the stocks were worthless.
Trey: Not completely.
Ahem.
It did bring Leo and I closer
together.
And turning in the certificates
may have won me some points
with the DA.
Vanessa: Oh.
And the idea of you going
to jail for just pretending
to be someone else is --
Trey: Hey, worst-case
scenario -- I’ll plead down,
end up picking up garbage along
the highway.
Vanessa: Well, I suppose
the fresh air could do you good.
Trey: Anyway, I just really
wanted to thank you for coming
through for me.
Vanessa: Oh, Darling,
you know I -- I would do
anything for my boys.
Trey: Well, I’m glad you feel
that way because I have another
favor to ask.
Vanessa: Anything.
Trey: Tell me who
my father is.
[ERICA’S PENTHOUSE – UNDER CONSTRUCTION]
[Thunder]
[Music plays]
Opal: Yoo-hoo! Erica?
Erica: In here, Opal!
Opal: Opal's gourmet delivery
at your service!
Oh, my goodness.
Well, I don't know that
you really need any of this
stuff.
Erica: Oh, yes, I do.
It's so sweet of you to do this,
Opal.
Opal: Oh.
Well, you know, when cupid
calls, I come running.
Now -- there.
Looks to me like you got all
the trappings, but where's
the trappee?
Erica: I'm going to surprise
Chris.
Opal: Ah, surprise him, huh?
Well, you got your Beluga here
and your bubbly and --
I don't know.
I would venture to say that that
gown there didn't exactly jump
off of Lacey’s ready-to-slay
rack.
Erica: I just want to give
Chris a night that he'll never
forget.
Opal: Yeah, well, I used
to put on the dog like this,
too, every time me and Palmer would
have a squabble.
Erica: Well, I mean,
Chris and I did have this
nothing little tiff.
But it's certainly nothing that
a little Beluga and candlelight
can't fix.
Opal: Hmm.
Mind my asking how you're going
to lure him up here?
Erica: Well, I left a casual
message.
He'll be here any minute.
Opal: Well, sorry to be
the splash of cold water,
but, I mean, if Chris is still
fuming over this "nothing little
tiff," as you call it, I mean,
it's possible that he might not
show.
Erica: Opal, don't be
ridiculous.
I know my man.
Opal: Seems to me you're kind
of setting your man up to pass
a test he doesn't even know he's
taking.
[PV HOSPITAL]
Jake: This hospital is
off-limits to you, Hayward.
David: I don't have time
for this.
Jake: And the restraining
order will be enforced.
David: You think I give
a damn about a court order while
my wife and child are fighting
for their lives?
She needs me, Jake.
She needs me in there to help
her through this.
Leo: Come on, man.
No matter what David did,
you can't kick him out of here
at a time like this.
[PV HOSPITAL – ANNA’S ER ROOM]
[Monitor beeps]
Anna: Is the baby all right?
Please --
Joe: It's all up to you.
You got to stay calm.
You got to bring your blood
pressure down.
We're going to be doing
everything we can for
you and your baby.
Anna: Ok.
Joe: But, Honey, you got
to -- you have to learn
to relax.
Anna: I know.
I will, I will.
I'll relax.
Joe: Keep breathing.
Try to --
[Maggie walks in]
Anna: Hi, Maggie. Hi.
Maggie: How are you?
Anna: I'm a bit scared.
Maggie: Well, I think I have
a fix for that outside.
Anna: Yeah?
Maggie: David's here.
He wants to see you.
Anna: Joe -- no, I don't want
him in here.
Joe: Shh -
Anna: Please, I don't want
him in here.
Joe: All right --
Anna: Maggie, you make him
leave, ok?
Make him leave.
Joe: Ok.
[Monitor alarm beeps]
Anna: I don't want David
in here.
I don't want him anywhere near
me, Joe, please --
Joe: Look, Anna is under
enough stress without David
adding to it.
Anna: Maggie, it's not
your fault.
Joe: Anna, Anna --
Maggie: I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Joe: Calm down, calm down.
Calm down.
It's all right.
Anna: I'm fine.
Jake: This isn't your call.
David: This isn't your call,
either.
Jake: You're right about
that.
It's Anna's.
David: Fine.
Jake: I'll check with her.
Maggie: Yeah, I don't --
I don't think that you should go
in there.
She doesn't want to see you,
David.
Dr. Joe said that she's already
on stress overload.
I don't think it's the best
idea.
David: She needs me.
All right?
I know her better than anyone.
I know what to say to calm
her down, to ease her fears.
Jack: Yes, I’m sure you think
you do.
But she doesn't want you here.
David: She doesn't know what
the hell she wants.
She's confused!
Jack: Let me tell you what
she doesn't want -- you anywhere
around her or the child
she's carrying.
Erica: Opal, me testing
Chris?
How high school is that?
Opal: Honey, it's me you're
talking to.
I know you, Erica, and this
kiss-and-make-up date --
it's just not your style.
Erica: Ok, what is my style?
Opal: Your style is to make
the guy shimmy over broken glass
to beg your forgiveness,
no matter who did what to whom.
Erica: Opal, it just
so happens that even though
Chris is 100% wrong, I have made
a personal decision that I’m
going to rise above this --
Opal: Oh, in a hen's heinie.
Erica: Opal, Chris used all
of his connections to track down
my father, ok?
Without my knowledge
and without my permission.
Opal: Wow.
That must have come as quite
a surprise.
Erica: Well, it certainly
did, and not a very pleasant
one.
And Chris says that, you know,
maybe I would want to contact
my father and just reconcile.
Opal: Yeah, which you'd
rather walk barefoot over a bed
of burning coals than do that.
But did it ever occur
to you that maybe this would be
an opportunity for you to finally get some closure
on all this?
Erica: Opal, I don't need
closure.
Opal: Well, you and Chris can
discuss it --
Erica: We are not going
to have a discussion.
There is nothing to discuss.
I mean, Chris is just going
to take one look at me
and the subject of my father is
going to go right out
of his head.
Opal: Well, if you say so.
[Thunder]
Erica: Opal, everything's
going to be fine, ok?
Just -- thank you very much.
Opal: Well, I guess that's
my cue to scram-ola
the scene-ola.
Erica: Please.
Chris is going to be here any
minute.
Opal: Nighty-night.
Erica: Thank you.
[Thunder]
Vanessa: I'm -- I’m going
to order up a nice cozy pot
of tea for us --
Trey: Mother, I asked
you a question.
Who is my father?
Vanessa: And some scones.
Do you like scones, Dear?
Trey: Did he know about me?
Did he make you give me up?
Vanessa: I told you that was
Vanessa.
Trey: I know, I know.
But she didn't want me
and you did, so help me out
here.
Vanessa: Trey, that was
so long ago.
Trey: I don't need details.
I just want a name.
I can do the rest.
Vanessa: But a name won't do
you any good.
Trey: It'd be a place
to start.
Vanessa: No.
It will be a dead end.
Trey: You said you'd do
anything for your sons.
Vanessa: Anything to protect
them, yes.
Trey: To protect me
from what?
Vanessa: To --
this is so painful.
I'd really prefer not to go back
to that time.
Trey: I'm -- I’m sorry
for bringing it all back.
Vanessa: Oh, Trey.
Trey, you are so far better off
forgetting you ever had
a father, really.
Trey: You're right.
Hell, what do I need him for?
I've got two fabulous women
in my life.
Vanessa: Two?
Trey: Well, that's what
I came over here to tell you.
Vanessa: Well, then,
don't keep me in suspense.
Trey: Now, I know you're not
so crazy about her, but Kendall
is a great girl.
Vanessa: Kendall?
Trey: I don't know how it
happened or when, but I know
in my heart that she's it
for me.
And when I get home tonight,
I am going to show Kendall just
much I love her.
Vanessa: You would sleep
with -- no, no, over my dead
body!
David: You don't know
a damned thing about me
or my wife or my child.
Jack: I know that you are
the reason that she's in this
hospital.
Now, you want to prove how much
you care about her and her baby?
You just back the hell off.
David: I belong here, so why
don't you back the hell off?
Leo: David, I know you want
what you want, but you got to do
what's best for Anna right now.
Maggie: And making
a spectacle outside her room is
not going to help.
Leo: Yeah, do what Jake said.
Just keep your cool
and your distance.
David: All right, fine, fine.
You win.
But at least let me stay
in the hospital, all right,
so I can be close by in case
anything happens.
Jake: How do I know that
you won't disturb Anna?
David: I don't care.
Put a guard on me,
if you want to.
But I have to be here, Jake.
I mean, you know what it's like
to lose a child.
Jake: All right,
David, you can stay.
But you set one foot inside
Anna's room, I’m going to call
the cops and I’m going to have
them enforce that restraining
order and you'll be put in jail.
Leo: Come on.
Let's take a walk.
Jake: Dad, how's Anna?
Joe: Stable.
Her blood pressure's under
control now.
Maggie: What about the baby?
Joe: It's pretty much watch
and wait.
Maggie: Well, someone should
let David know what's going on.
Joe: David?
He's still her
Jake: Yeah, I let him stay
if he promised to behave
himself.
Joe: Oh.
Well, I better find him
and bring him up to date.
Jack: Jake, can I go
in and see Anna?
Jake: Yeah, she was asking
for you.
Just keep it short.
Jack: Ok, I will.
Thanks.
Jack: Hey, you.
Anna: Hi.
Jack: Joe says you're feeling
a little bit better, huh?
Anna: I hear you're the one
that found me collapsed
in a heap.
Jack: Yeah.
Yeah, I was the lucky guy.
Got to tell you, Anna, you gave
me quite a scare.
Anna: Yeah. Me, too.
Jack: Listen, there's one
thing that you certainly don't
have to worry about, and that's
Hayward.
Anna: Is he gone?
Jack: No.
No, he's still lurking around
here somewhere.
But he's not going to be
bothering you.
I will guarantee that.
Anna: Oh, you know what?
I -- I can't really blame him
for this.
I brought this all on myself.
Jack: I can't believe that.
Anna: Yeah, I did.
You know, I stood my ground
against him and I didn't cave.
But even though I walked away,
I still let him get to me
and my baby.
[PV HOSPITAL – THE CHAPAL]
[Thunder]
David: Thanks for backing me
up, Leo.
Leo: I'm not the bad guy
here.
David: Neither am I, damn it.
Leo: David --
David: What?
Leo: A little respect.
David: What?
Oh, please.
Like he's really listening.
Leo: Well, I am, if you want
to talk.
David: I want to talk --
I want to talk to Anna.
There are things that I need
for her to know.
Leo: Whatever it is can wait.
David: No, Leo, it can't
wait.
Anna doesn't get it.
Don't you understand that?
She thinks that all I care about
is myself and this baby.
I want her to know that I would
give up anything, ok?
Anything -- my career,
my life -- to make sure that
she's all right
and that anything that happened
between us today doesn't change
one iota about my love for her.
Joe: Now, David, I don't mean
to intrude.
David: It's all right, Joe.
It's all right.
What -- how's Anna?
Joe: She's going to be just
fine.
Leo: The baby?
Joe: We're not so sure.
David: What -- how come
she collapsed, Joe?
Joe: David, basically she's
suffering from exhaustion --
stress, poor eating habits,
sleeping habits.
Her blood pressure spiked right
up into stroke territory.
That's what's put the baby
at risk.
David: She's not going
to lose it?
Joe: She seems to be
stabilizing.
David: Has she asked for me?
Joe: She specifically asked
you to stay away.
I'm sorry, David.
I'll keep you posted.
Leo: David, I’m sorry.
David: No, Leo.
Don't feel sorry for me.
Jackson is right.
If anything happens to this
baby, it'll be my fault.
[MYRTLE’S BOARDING HOUSE]
Opal: Oh, you should have
seen Erica, Myrt.
I mean, she was just rushing
around, fussing over that date
with Chris like her whole future
was riding on it.
Myrtle: Well, maybe it was.
Opal: Well, whatever's going
on in that head of hers,
it's got nothing to do
with dinner.
Myrtle: Oh, that's classic
Erica, Darling.
She finds a good man,
she becomes very fond of him,
and then she finds a way to make
quite sure that it will never,
never work.
Opal: I just cannot
for the life of me figure out
what is so all-fired important
about tonight.
Myrtle: Well, let's say
she has a date tonight
with her past.
[Thunder]
Erica: No.
He should call me.
[Thunder]
Trey: Mother, what do
you have against Kendall and me
making it?
Vanessa: Trey, do you really
know anything about that girl?
Trey: Oh, she's a babe.
She's wild, unpredictable,
highly --
Vanessa: All right, Trey.
Trey, that is a passing fancy.
Trey: Well, if it's passing,
I better get some.
Vanessa: Oh, Trey, please.
Trey: Come on, Mother,
I’m over 21.
Vanessa: Yes, and you're
still too young to commit
yourself.
Trey: Well, we're not talking
marriage -- yet.
Vanessa: Trey, I made so many
mistakes, Darling, when I was
your age.
But, really, can't you see that
Kendall hart is just not right
for you, Darling?
Please, listen to me.
Learn from my experience
and stay away from that girl.
Trey: What do you have
against this?
Vanessa: That -- that
she will just take your heart
and use it as a scratching post.
Come on, Darling, be smart.
Trey: Oh, so that's what this
is all about, hmm?
You're just being
the overprotective mother.
Vanessa: I think you should
trust my maternal instincts,
yes.
Trey: Yeah, well, I have
instincts, too, Nessa.
You won't tell me who my father
is or why me hooking up
with Kendall gives you
thrombosis, so I have
to wonder -- what's
the connection here?
Vanessa: Well, what could
the connection be?
I --
Trey: Close your eyes.
Vanessa: What?
Trey: Close your eyes.
Vanessa: What --
Trey: Now, listen
to my voice.
Tell me if it reminds
you of someone.
"You must leave immediately.
Please get this message
to your chief."
Ring any chimes?
It's Richard Fields
from "Tonight is Forever."
Vanessa: What is that,
some movie?
I don't believe I’ve seen it.
Trey: You know, Fields is
Kendall's father.
She's the one that told me
we sound alike.
Vanessa: So you sound alike.
Some wild coincidence?
Trey: Yeah, that's what
I thought, too, until I started
to see you sweat.
And then I remembered --
you and Fields were banging
around Hollywood around the same
time.
Vanessa: As were thousands
of aspiring actors --
Trey: But it's a small town.
Surely you must have bumped
into him at someone's poolside
party or at a reading
or something.
Mother, I have Richard Fields'
voice.
What else do I have of his, huh?
His eyes?
His lips?
His DNA.?
Is Richard Fields my father?
Vanessa: Oh, Trey.
Richard Fields -- that ham in
a leisure suit -- your father?
I mean, that's absurd.
Trey: I mention sleeping
with Kendall and you have a gag
reflex.
Even that demon Vanessa would
stop me from bedding my own
half sister.
Vanessa: Oh -- how could
you even think I have anything
to do with a reptile like that?
Trey: Well, you wouldn't be
the first starlet to sleep
her way on to the big screen.
Vanessa: All right,
Trey, please --
Trey: Oh, come on!
I know who I’m dealing
with here.
You're facing a string
of charges longer than my arm.
Vanessa: And that was
Vanessa.
Trey: Oh, right,
right, right.
And you were just along
for the ride.
Hmm. Hmm.
Well, maybe you were there that
night that Vanessa hit
the sheets with Fields.
Nine months later --
Vanessa: All right, Trey,
you really should be very happy
that you don't even know who
you father is.
And don't keep asking questions
that you really don't want
the answers to!
Trey: Oh, I want to know,
and I’m going to find out.
I'll hire a PI and have him do
some digging.
Or maybe, just maybe, I’ll hop
on a plane and go out
to Hollywood, check out your old
stomping grounds, talk to some
of your cronies at the retired
actors village.
Vanessa: Trey --
Trey, please, I’m begging you.
Will you just leave the past
in the past?
Because if word should get out
on this and if Erica should
find --
Trey: Why would Erica Kane
care?
Vanessa: All right, just drop
it.
Just drop it.
Trey: Would she care
if you had a fling with the guy
who raped her?
Vanessa: Trey, I’m begging
you!
Just drop it, huh?
Just drop it.
Trey: You're scared, Nessa.
You're scared that I’m close
to something, and it's more than
just my paternity, isn't it?
It has something to do
with you and Erica Kane.
Opal: I am completely stymied
by this, Myrt.
I mean, Erica just acts like
her own worst enemy,
putting her men through hoops,
expecting them to read her mind
like she was just willing them
to disappoint her.
Myrtle: Darling, this happens
every year at this time.
Her father's birthday comes
right on the heels of hers,
and this stirs up all those
terrible fears she has about
being abandoned.
Opal: Well, no wonder she's
so skittish.
Myrtle: Well, Erica’s father
hurt her very deeply.
I don't think she'll ever get
over it.
[Thunder]
Erica: Well, where is he?
What could be keeping him?
He'll be here.
He will.
Opal: Wouldn't it be great
if you could just push a button
and a whole big chunk
of your past would just drop off
into the trash bin?
Myrtle: Yeah.
But then she would have to admit
that it troubled her.
And that proud young lady will
never admit that the past haunts
her.
[Thunder]
[Erica remembers]
Chris: Wow, engagement rings
aren't the only things that
spook you, huh?
Lightning, too.
Erica: That night -- the --
the night that Richard Fields
raped me --
it was a really stormy night,
too, that night.
Chris: I'm sorry, Sweetheart.
Erica: I am Erica Kane.
I am not afraid of lightning.
I'm not afraid of the past.
I'm not afraid --
[Thunder]
[Erica gasps]
Myrtle: I hate -- hate this
weather.
Makes my teeth chatter.
Wonder what havoc it's wreaking
on Erica.
Opal: Well, I just think
there ought to be something that
we could do to help, you know,
before this whole night rages
out of control and she does
something she regrets.
Myrtle: Look, Darling,
there's no use talking to her.
I have tried.
She won't listen.
Opal: Well, how about this
for an idea?
Jack: Anna, look, I know that
ending up in here was a tough
break, but you can't blame
yourself.
Anna: Who else do I blame?
You know, I’ve been living
and breathing this case against
David.
I'm just running myself
into the ground.
Jack: Yeah, and that stops
right now.
I'm taking over the case.
Anna: Oh, Jackson --
Jack: Just shut up, Devane.
He's not your problem anymore.
He's mine.
Anna: Well, you're still
going to need my deposition.
Jack: Well, I’m not going
to need it right this second,
ok?
From now on, I want you to be
living and breathing this life
that's growing inside of you.
Anna: I'm not a very good
patient.
Jack: Yeah, I’m sure you're
not.
So, for the hospital's sake
as much as for yours,
we're going to get you out
of here as soon as we can
and get you home and get
you settled, ok?
Anna: What about work?
Jack: Only little,
bitty, tiny cases like
missing cats, crop circles,
stuff like that.
It's going to be ok.
Joe: Anna?
I know you're anxious to hear
the test results.
Anna: Yes. What?
Tell me.
Joe: Your blood work is fine.
Your baby is fine.
Anna: Good. Thank you.
Thanks.
Anna: Do you hear that?
That's good.
Thank you.
Jack: Yes, I did.
Anna: My baby's going to be
all right.
Leo: David, this --
Anna and the baby --
this whole thing is your mess?
David: You think I wanted
this to happen?
Leo: Ok, what did you do this
time?
David: Anna and I had
a run-in today.
She caught me with some
evidence.
But the point is I pushed
her to the limit, Leo.
I pushed her to the point where
she pulled a gun out on me.
Leo: What?
Are you nuts?
What the hell were you thinking?
David: I was thinking about
saving my backside.
That's what I was thinking.
Now our baby's in trouble
because of my overwhelming
stupidity.
Leo: I've got to hand it
to you, Bro.
When you go too far, you really
go too far.
David: If Anna loses
this baby --
Leo: She's not going to lose
the baby.
Just focus on Anna.
She needs you right now.
David: She doesn't want
anything to do with me.
Leo: What did I tell
you before?
About the time and the space
thing?
David: Leo, look, I love you,
man, but I just -- I kind
of need some time alone right
now.
Leo: Ok. That's fine.
I'll be taking down the vending
machine.
[David prays]
David: Lord,
I’ve been told I do a pretty
good impression of you.
I always believed about aiming
high.
But I learned a really valuable
lesson lately.
There's only so far I can go.
I'm not you.
I'm not all-powerful.
[Thunder]
David: All right.
All right.
I'm on my knees --
down on my knees, lord.
I'm begging you.
I'm begging you --
please, please,
please, save my child.
Leo: Good news, Bro.
Your baby's going to make it.
Jake: Which is not to say
that Anna's pregnancy is
risk-free, but for now
everything's under control.
David: Thank you, Jake.
David: What do you know, Leo.
Leo: Hey, I guess life works
out sometimes, right?
David: I'll see you.
Leo: Whoa, whoa, whoa --
where are you going?
David: I -- where do
you think I’m going?
Leo: I don't believe you.
David: What?
Leo: Anna and the baby just
got out of the woods, and now
you're going to put them through
another stress test?
Are you --
David: No, no, no, no.
I just want to make sure she's
all right, that's all.
Leo: No, that's not
an option, David.
If you go barging in there right
now, that's it.
That's it.
I'm -- I’m cutting you off.
David: Oh, come on, Leo --
Leo: No more chances.
No, I mean it.
I'm going to give up on you.
Ok?
This is your one chance to do
the right thing, ok?
So prove to everybody that
you can do the right thing.
Put Anna and that baby first.
Ok?
Now, let's get out of here.
Come with me.
Trey: Mother, why are
you keeping my father hidden
like some dirty little secret?
And what does Erica Kane have
to do with any of this?
Vanessa: Trey, please,
no more questions.
You have no idea what you are
asking me to do.
Trey: This is amazing.
You've been exposed as a drug
lord, a kidnapper, and
an assassin, but you still
have something to hide.
You can trust me!
Client-attorney privilege still
applies.
What deep, dark secret are
you hiding?
Vanessa: Oh, God,
this is -- no, no!
I'm just not going back there.
I am not!
You can't make me.
I didn't hear anything!
Gary: What's going on?
What did you to do her?
Trey: Nothing.
We're just talking.
Mother, calm down.
Gary: I think you'd better
leave.
Trey: Ok.
But the truth is out there,
and I’m going to find it.
[Thunder]
Opal: Well, what I am
thinking is that, you know,
we head off Chris at the pass
and at least warn him that he's
wading into the valley
of the shadow of Eric Kane.
Myrtle: Opal, are you crazy?
Erica would have our heads.
Opal: Well, what can we do,
then?
Myrtle: Oh, it beats me.
Look, she's had her whole life
to make peace with her past,
and it's still her prisoner.
Opal: I thought she dealt
with all this stuff at Betty
Ford.
Myrtle: Well, most of it.
But there are still some very
dark places that she can't bear
to explore.
Opal: Yeah, like her daddy
walking out on her.
Myrtle: Oh, Eric Kane.
What a lousy father.
He was never there when it
counted.
But that's not the real
problem -- his missing another
party.
It's what he said and the person
he sent in his place.
Opal: Ugh, that piece
of slime.
Myrtle: Look, Darling, we all
know what happened at that
party.
But Erica still -- still cannot
admit to herself or to anyone
else that she still blames
her father for the rape.
Opal: I wish I could conjure
that Richard Fields back here
right now so as I could spit
on him and condemn him back
to damnation.
Myrtle: Darling, she has more
to fear than the memory
of Richard Fields.
No, it's much more serious than
that.
And until she can actually face
and make peace with what
her father did, I’m just
terribly afraid that the past
someday is going to catch up
with her.
[Phone rings]
Chris: Stamp here.
Erica: Chris!
Finally!
Where are you?
Chris: I'm at the office,
Sweetheart.
I'm up to my eyes in paperwork.
What's up?
Erica: Well, didn't you get
my message to meet me here
at the penthouse?
Chris: No.
No, no.
I've -- I’ve been busy.
Why?
Is -- hope it wasn't something
important.
Erica: Well, apparently not
to you.
Chris: Erica, I just told
you I didn't pick up
my messages, and --
what, are you mad at me now?
Erica: Mad?
Oh, why should I be mad?
Chris: Well, I don't know.
Maybe if you gave me a clue --
Erica: You know, maybe I just
dialed the wrong number.
[Erica hangs up on Chris]
[Thunder]
Erica: Oh!
[Thunder]
Joe: Your latest ultrasound
shows a healthy, thriving baby.
When you're a little further
on into your pregnancy, we'll do
an amnio just as a precaution.
Anna: Right. Definitely.
Yeah. Good.
Joe: Ok.
However, what I said before
still holds --
you must avoid stress.
You know, it's crucial
if you want to carry the baby
to term.
Anna: Ok.
Joe: Ok.
I'm going to see if your room
is ready.
Anna: Thanks.
Thank you, Joe.
Thank you.
[Anna sighs]
Jack: Ah.
Well, that's the sound
of somebody who feels better,
yes?
Anna: Oh, yeah.
Jack: Good So, you’re ready to have this baby?
Anna: Yes, I didn't realize how much.
all the doubts are gone. I just -- I can't wait to be
a mom again.
It's amazing, really.
Jack: Well, Mommy, tell me,
I know that Robin put
in an order for a baby brother.
Are you going to find out the sex before?
Ana: Oh, I don't know.
I haven't thought about it
Jack: So, what are you going
to do, dress the kid all
in beige and put nothing
but gender-neutral toys
in the nursery?
Anna: Well, that's not
so bad.
You know, I played with trucks
and steam shovels, and I turned
out ok.
Jack: I'd say you turned out
better than ok.
Anna: Malibu Barbie?
Come on.
Jack: Malibu Barbie was
a total babe.
Anna: No, she's not a babe.
Jack: Total babe.
Anna: No, she was a bleached
blonde with a boob job
and a parking space at Spago.
That's what she was.
That's a lot of maintenance.
Jack: So, where's
the downside?
Oh, the maintenance.
Leo: Almost to the parking
lot --
David: I should be in there
with my wife, not him.
Leo: I agree, but that's not
going to happen.
Now, let's go.
Jack: How many names
for the wee one coming?
How about something nice
and Irish --
David: Will you listen
to this guy?
He's acting like he's the father
of my child.
Leo: Anna has her orders
and you have yours.
Now, come on. Stay away.
David: All right, all right,
all right.
Anna: In all the madness,
I forgot to tell you this --
the evidence.
Jack: What evidence?
Anna: Well, it's the evidence
that got me here in the first
place.
It was the hardest call I had
to make.
But I think I have what we need
to put David away.
Jack: You think it's solid?
Anna: Oh, definitely it's
solid -- by the way that he was
acting when I took it.
It's on my desk.
I forgot about it.
It's on my desk.
Jack: Well, we'll get it
tagged, bagged, and locked up
safe where it doesn't fall
into the wrong hands.
[David hears Anna and Jack’s conversation]
[Thunder]
Vanessa: I had to leave.
I had no choice.
[Thunder]
[Erica gasps, panics and hides]
[Thunder]
[Footsteps]
Man: Erica?
[Thunder]
Man: Erica, where are you?
ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Leo: Let me do it.
Let me get rid of the evidence.
Hayley: I don't think
you should just give up Edmund
without a fight.
Maria: I need to find my own
place.
Aidan: You can't leave.
[Erica screams]
Trey: Ugh!
Erica: Oh! Oh!
