Erica: Again?
David: Well, Ms. Kane, didn't you say that 19 was your lucky number?
Erica: I don't love you.
David: You've already made that very clear.
Erica: But I just don't understand, then.
David: What don't you understand?
Erica: Why does this feel so good?

[Alexandra remembers her first date with Dimitri]

Alex: Are you sure?
Dimitri: I'm actually having more fun watching you eat it.
Alex: So, Sean tells me you're here on business.
Dimitri: Yeah, yeah. Sean's lying. He said that you might not meet me if you knew why I was here. He also said that he didn't know how you'd react to the prospect of a blind date, so I guess I'm taking my chances either way.
Alex: So, which is it? Am I blind or just stupid?
Dimitri: Well, I've known you through the rare lamb chop, peas and potatoes -- oh, yes, some salmon to start. But I would say you're neither blind nor stupid. In fact, I think your eyes see just about everything.
Alex: Perhaps there are some things that I don't want to see.
Dimitri: I know what I'm asking.
Alex: Do you?

Jack: Excuse me.
Alex: Oh.
Jack: Sorry to startle you. And I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm sure business is the last thing you want to talk about at a time like this.
Alex: Well, hello, Mr. Montgomery.
Jack: Jackson, please.
Alex: Jackson. What business do we have to talk about?
Jack: I'm here about Dimitri's will. And again, I apologize, but in my experience, these things are better taken care of sooner rather than later.
Alex: Yes, of course.
Jack: Dimitri filed his last will and testament with my office roughly 14 months ago. It made his last wishes very clear. I just want to schedule a reading of the will that's convenient for you.
Alex: Well, I'm sorry, that won't be possible.

Joe: Tad hasn't moved.
Ruth: He's been there all night. He wants to be with her when she wakes up.
Joe: But she hasn't?
Ruth: No.
Joe: So, how are you doing?
Ruth: Oh, me? Oh, I'm fine.
Joe: You're not fine. You're angry.
Ruth: Well -- I mean, medically, I know that this was probably inevitable. And that if it was going to happen, it's a good thing it happened now instead of some months from now. But those kids have gone through so much to be together. They just didn't deserve this.
Joe: No, they surely didn't.
Ruth: And now we got to find something to tell Tad that will give him some comfort, and I do not know what to say.
Joe: You'll find the words. You always do.

[Pager beeps]

Joe: I've got to go. I'll be right back.
Ruth: Yeah, well you go. You still have a hospital to run.
Joe: I know it's no use telling you you should rest.
Ruth: I will be fine.
Joe: I'll bring you back some juice.
Ruth: Oh, thank you, sweetheart.

Dixie: She's so beautiful.
Tad: Who is, honey?
Dixie: Our baby.
Dixie: She looks just like I thought she would. It's just like I pictured her all these weeks. So beautiful.
Ruth: Ah, that's a good girl, now. Come on. Close your eyes. That's it.
Dixie: She's so delicate.
Ruth: You just go to sleep, sweetheart. Go to sleep.

Tad: What the hell's going on? She doesn't remember what happened?
Ruth: No, it's the anesthesia, darling. She's just drifting in and out, you know.
Tad: Wait, so she's -- she's not awake?
Ruth: No. She won't be for some time.
Tad: I'm starting to worry about what happens when she does.
Ruth: Well, she's going to need you. She's definitely going to need you. Now, listen to me -- you've been up all night. So why don't you -- I know -- you go take a little nap, and I'll call you if there's any change.
Tad: Ma, come on, be serious.
Ruth: No, I am serious.
Tad: I couldn't go anywhere even if I wanted to.
Ruth: Yes, you could. You just go right down to the doctors' lounge there.
Tad: Why? I couldn't sleep. Ma, what happens if she wakes up and I'm not here?
Ruth: Well, she's going to sleep. She's going to sleep for quite a while. It will be much better for her if she does.
Tad: Look at her. She's smiling. Oh, man, I'd do anything to keep that smile on her face, but --
Ruth: Sweetheart --
Tad: I can't. She's going to wake up. She's going to know.
Ruth: I'm so sorry.
Tad: So am I. She was so sure, you know. I looked into her eyes and I could tell she wasn't afraid, that she believed everything was going to be fine. I started believing it, too. It's not fair.
Ruth: No, it's not fair. It's not fair at all. But, darling, we have -- I mean, we have so many blessings. You know, you have to count those a little bit -- the fact that you and Dixie finally got together again, the fact that your love is stronger now than it ever was. And that's -- that's a gift. Now, you know, you just have to hang on to that now.
Tad: I'm fine, Ma. I'll be fine. As long as I have Dixie, I can deal with anything. She's the greatest gift I could ever hope for. She is going to be ok, isn't she?
Ruth: Oh, yes. Sure.

Edmund: Joe?
Joe: Edmund, good to see you.
Edmund: Thank you for seeing me. I know you're busy.
Joe: So, what can I do for you?
Edmund: Did you get a chance to look at that report from Seaview hospital?
Joe: Oh, of course, of course. Dimitri's death. Yes. Actually, I have it right here. I've gone through it. It's very thorough, very concise. A textbook case of a fatal aneurysm.
Edmund: How can you be certain?
Joe: According to this report, Dimitri was exhibiting the classic symptoms when he arrived at the ER. -- Headache, nausea. His pupils were markedly dilated and did not respond to light. He showed stiff, irregular movement in his arms and hands, became comatose, and death followed within 24 hours. As I say, a textbook case.
Edmund: No red flags? No -- nothing out of the ordinary?
Joe: Seaview hospital is a very fine hospital, and their ER Team is topnotch. And actually, you know, they did just about everything you could ask for. M.R.I. And a CAT Scan confirm the diagnosis. Is there anything else you need from me?
Edmund: I need your objectivity. I don't have any in this case. I'm just having a hard time accepting what I'm being told.
Joe: Well, I can see that. But why?
Edmund: Joe, could you do me a favor? Could you talk to Dimitri's wife, run these test results by her?
Joe: What would that accomplish?
Edmund: I'd feel like I was getting closer to the truth. Just ask her to take you through what happened in the final hours before Dimitri died.
Joe: I don't see what that could add to what's in the report.
Edmund: Well, I'm going to be there when you talk to her. I want to observe her, see what she says.
Joe: So it's not the report that you have doubts about?
Edmund: Joe, to tell you the truth, there is something about Dimitri's widow that just doesn't sit right with me.

Alex: I'm sorry. I should have mentioned earlier that Dimitri and I had new wills drawn up in London after the wedding. And I'm sure it supersedes the one from last year.
Jack: Oh, it may very well.
Alex: I hope this hasn't been too much trouble for you.
Jack: No trouble at all. Thank you. So, this -- this will was drawn up in London?
Alex: Yeah.
Jack: Well, I'd very much like to talk to the lawyer that drew it up, you know, just to make sure things are as they should be. If you could give me his name and phone number, I'd certainly appreciate it.
Alex: I -- yeah, I have it.
Alex: Here. There you go.
Jack: Well, thank you very much. I'm sure this won't be any kind of a problem at all. I'll let myself out.
Alex: Yeah. Wait. Can I ask you something?

David: Why should we question this, whatever it is between us?
Erica: Last night, when I found you at the hospital -- oh, you looked so devastated. Then you saw me, put your arms around me, and I was able to lift your spirits.
David: Oh, you were able to lift a lot more than that. We enjoy each other. Are you going to make a problem with that?

[Telephone rings]

David: Excuse me.
Dr. Hayward. Yes. Yes, about Mrs. Martin. Do you have the blood work?

Myrtle's voice: Remember, even if you don't love the man, your heart could still be broken.

David: I see. Has Dr. Banyon been in to see her? Ok, make sure that you keep me briefed, ok? All right, thanks. Bye.
Hey, hey, hey, wait. Hey, hey. Hey. What are you doing?
Erica: I'm leaving
David: This is a mighty quick exit you're making. I hope it's not became I took that phone call.
Erica: Of course not. My goodness, we're both busy people. I'm sure that I would have been on the phone with Enchantment all morning except that I am officially on vacation.
David: Are you?
Erica: Mm-hmm.
David: Well, that's great news. So we can spend the day together.
Erica: Oh, no, I have a plane to catch. I'm going to visit Bianca.
David: Well, you didn't say anything to me about that. Well, it's not like we spent a lot of time talking last night. Give me your number where I can reach you.
Erica: David, I don't know why you have to call me while I'm away. You know, it really is my time to be with my daughter.
David: Well, perhaps I'd like to speak to Bianca as well as her mother. You know that we became friendly.
Erica: I wouldn't even really know what kind of a good time to give you to call us because we have so many plans.
David: Is there a problem with Bianca knowing about us?
Erica: David, I don't know how I'm going to find Bianca since Dimitri's death.
David: I understand, but I don't see why me calling you should have anything to do with it.
Erica: Bianca never accepted my relationship with Jack. I mean, in fact, I think it contributed to her bad health. And I don't want my time with my daughter to be about anything except us -- I mean Bianca and me.
David: All right. I don't want to cause Bianca any distress.
Erica: Thank you.
David: So do you mind if I send her something?
Erica: Well --
David: It'll arrive her mailbox without any connection to you whatsoever.
Erica: I guess that would be all right.
David: Good. What do you think she'd like?
Erica: A horse. How about a horse?
David: Well, I hope she has a big mailbox.
Erica: Well, as I told you, she really was expecting to receive Maximillian, Dimitri's horse. I really thought she'd get it, too.
David: But Dimitri made other arrangements?
Erica: I find that very hard to believe. No, this is all his supposed widow. You know, this Alex person. Anyway, I -- I think it's just proof beyond any doubt at all that she never even really knew Dimitri, let alone loved him. I mean, Dimitri adored that horse. I know that he wanted Bianca to have Maximillian. She's the only one he ever allowed to ride Maximillian.
David: Well, I wouldn't be too upset about it. I mean, that's what happens when people die and estates are divided.
Erica: Well, this is about a lot more than a horse.
David: Apparently.
Erica: She has claimed everything that was dearest to Dimitri and she's pushing away all the friends that loved him for years, and she's saying that she's acting on Dimitri's wishes. I will never believe that he fell in love with this cold and heartless woman.

Alex: I know this makes this difficult for you because you do represent Dimitri's family, but he said you were very trustworthy and reliable.
Jack: Did he? Well, to be honest, that kind of skips over some of the more colorful chapters of my life. But I guess, all in all, yes, I've kept myself out of jail.
Alex: Oh. It's so strange. When something like this happens, you just forget how to laugh. I mean, I guess it's not so strange.
Jack: No, not so strange at all. Give yourself some time. And then one day you'll be walking down the street, something will strike you funny, and, ha-ha, you'll laugh.
Alex: It seems inconceivable, though.
Jack: I'm sure it does right now. You wanted to ask me something, yes?
Alex: Yes, I do. Please, sit down.
Jack: Thank you.
Alex: The fact is, my not mentioning the new will isn't through a lapse of memory. It's because I am so concerned about Edmund's reaction to it.
Jack: Of course. Well, I'm sure Edmund realizes that when people get married, they do often change their wills.
Alex: I know, but he is so damn suspicious of me that I think bringing this up is just going to make things worse.
Jack: This will doesn't have to be a problem, I don't think. Look, as representative of Dimitri's family, it is my job to authenticate this will. And believe me, that is exactly what I'll be doing.
Alex: Hmm. I expect nothing less of you.
Jack: Once it's authenticated, I'm sure Edmund won't have a problem accepting it. I'm sure he'll honor his brother's last wishes. So, when I speak to your solicitor, I'll ask him when they're going to be reading the will there and I'll make sure I'm in London for the reading. I imagine you'll be there as well?
Alex: I haven't made any plans to be, no.
Jack: Well, I would do that. As I said, the sooner the better.
Alex: You're right.
Jack: Good. So, when I speak to Mr. Clive Garrison, Esquire, at Dobbs and Garrison, I'll tell him that you and I are in agreement. We want to get the ball rolling and do it as quickly as possible.
Alex: I appreciate that. Thank you.
Jack: It's my pleasure. Alex, you take care of yourself.
Alex: Mm-hmm.

[Alex watches Jack leave and then dials the phone]

Alex: Sean? Hello. It's Alex. Yes, I'm fine. Listen, this is very important. I want you to contact our solicitor immediately and tell him that under no circumstances is he to take a phone call from a Mr. Jackson Montgomery.

Edmund: Joe, I admit there's an explanation for everything Alexandra's done. Ok? Some people have an aversion to an open casket, and you're confirming that an autopsy just wasn't indicated here.
Joe: Well, it certainly would have been helpful, but in a case like this, it's not necessary in order to determine the cause of death.
Edmund: But Dimitri was just so healthy. I mean, how could he suddenly die?
Joe: Things like this occur, happen all of a sudden and with no warning. I mean, so, if that's the basis of your doubts --
Edmund: No, no, no. It's more than that, Joe. She just showed up. She doesn't -- nobody even knew she existed.
Joe: From what I understand, though, Dimitri told you he intended to surprise you.
Edmund: Yeah, with a wife?
Joe: Why not? The Dimitri I remember was very romantic, very impetuous. What's so strange that he would all of a sudden fall head over heels in love and get married?
Edmund: Everybody was saying that. And for a minute I believed that, too.
Joe: Mm-hmm. And what changed your mind?
Edmund: Dimitri made a lot of trips back and forth from Pine Valley after he met this woman, ok? So if he did fall in love, if he was happy, he would have wanted to share it with me. I know that. I know that. Unless he had a reason not to.
Joe: Perhaps he did. In any case, I see nothing to give rise to any suspicions.
Edmund: Ok, listen to me. I'm going on just reporter's guts, Joe. Ok, I know something's wrong. I don't know what it is, but I know it's wrong. So just talk to her, ok? And let me watch her. Just let me try to get a feel for who this woman is.
Joe: All right. All right, I'll do that if it'll bring you peace of mind.

Tad: Honey?
Dixie: She looks like you. No, she looks like me. No, she looks like the both of us.
Tad: Shh. Just try and get some sleep, Dix.
Dixie: Is she asleep? Oh, she's asleep.
Tad: She's still drifting in and out, but it's -- it's all incoherent.
Ruth: Well, honey, it's the anesthesia. She wasn't really awake, you know.
Tad: Yeah, well, you could have fooled me. Ma, she looked right at me and told me the baby looks like me.
Ruth: Well, she doesn't know what she's saying.
Tad: You don't understand. I mean, that was the kind of thing she would say before. Ma, what happens if she doesn't know? What happens if she wakes up and she can't remember having the miscarriage?
Ruth: Oh, honey, don't worry about that yet.
Tad: How can I not worry about it? I'm going to have to tell her, won't I?
Ruth: Well, if you have to tell her, you'll tell her. And she'll listen to you.
Tad: No, you don't understand. I don't -- I have no idea what I could possibly say. How am I going to give her any comfort? How -- how can I possibly reassure her? What am I going to say -- "Dixie, it's ok, we can try again, we can have another baby"? We can't. I'm not going to put her through this twice. Ma, I have no idea how I can give Dixie any hope. My God, I feel so helpless.

David: You do know that I wouldn't try to get to you through your daughter, don't you?
Erica: Oh, I'm sure your style would be much more diabolical.
David: We're getting to know each other so well. Bianca was my patient. I am concerned about her.
Erica: All right. I guess I could call you with an update.
David: I'd appreciate that. I'm sure you can steal one moment away to give me a call without giving up the awful truth about us.
Erica: If I were to tell the awful truth about us, David, what would that be? What would you say our relationship to each other is?
David: I wouldn't begin to try and put a name on it. All I know is that last night when I fell into your arms, it made the difference between hope and despair. Why be analytical when everything feels so right? I'm grateful that we have whatever it is that we have.
Erica: Me, too.

[Knock on door]

Edmund: Come in.
Hello, Alex.
Alex: I didn't expect to see you here. I had a message from Dr. Martin about the report on Dimitri's death.
Edmund: Yes, remember, I asked if it was ok if I faxed it to him?
Alex: Yes.
Joe: Mrs. Marick, I'm Dr. Martin.
Alex: Hello.
Joe: Very sorry to keep you waiting. I had to look in on one of my patients.
Alex: No, no, no. Not at all. I just arrived. I understand you have some questions. Is something wrong?
Joe: No. Actually, there's nothing wrong. I was explaining to Edmund the report was very thorough, very complete. But I'm an old friend of the family, and I would like to know as many details as I can -- in particular, I would like to ask about the moments before Dimitri's death.
Alex: I'd be happy to answer your questions.

Alex: I could tell something was wrong from his face, and he grabbed his head and complained of this blinding headache. He said he felt nauseous and sick. And then he collapsed. And he grabbed hold of me tightly, and I had bruises on my arms. His face was so contorted with pain. I didn't know what to do. I was afraid. I --
Joe: When you say, "all of a sudden," are you talking about a matter of seconds?
Alex: Yes, it was a matter of seconds.
Joe: And just before that, you would say that he appeared perfectly normal?
Alex: He was perfectly normal.
Joe: I know this is difficult for you.
Alex: I've been through this before.
Joe: What would you say about his state of mind in the weeks prior to the wedding?
Alex: He was happy. He was looking forward to our future. We both were.
Joe: Did you notice any signs of fatigue or depression?
Alex: The days that Dimitri and I were married, he was so happy. He was really -- he was really full of life. And right before he collapsed, he'd been talking about our life together and what it would be like. And he had been showing me these presents that he bought for Edmund's children. And he was talking about the children that he and I hoped to have. And he wanted them to grow up with their cousins, to be a close, loving family, right from the beginning because he wanted to avoid the pain that he and Edmund had gone through before they had learned to love each other as brothers. These thoughts -- they gave him a great deal of pleasure. That was his state of mind. He was hopeful. I couldn't have wished for a better end to his life.
Joe: I'm terribly sorry to call back these memories.
Alex: It's all right. It's just that when I look back, you know, I realize that we didn't have a future together and that our dreams were just that. They were just dreams. And to see him in so much pain, and I didn't know what to do. I was helpless.

[Turning to Edmund….]

Oh, why do you keep making me go through this again and again?

David: You're going to miss me.
Erica: You're going to miss me, too.
David: Well, maybe I'll send you a post card.
Don't worry, I'll use an alias. How about "Lucky 19"? That ought to give you some pleasant memories.
Erica: Oh, I'll have some pleasant memories anyway.
David: I want you to hurry back.
Erica: I don't think I will. I want you to appreciate me more.
David: Oh. I can't appreciate you any more than --

[telephone rings]

Erica: Calling Dr. Hayward.
David: Bon voyage, Ms. Kane.

[Ring]

Erica: Want to go for 20?
David: I'm there, baby.
Yes, David Hayward. I see. Ok, so she's already woken up. All right, I'll be there in a few moments. Thanks.

Dixie: Hello.
Tad: Hi.
Dixie: Have I been asleep?
Tad: Yeah. Yeah, honey, you have. You've been asleep for a long time.
Dixie: Where am I? Oh.

Joe: Mrs. Marick, it was never my intention to cause you pain.
Alex: I know that. You're just trying to help him come to terms with his brother's death. But the irony is I have been trying to do that since we first met, and you simply won't believe a word I say.
Edmund: That -- I am simply trying to understand. There are some details that don't make any sense.
Alex: You feel helpless because your brother is dead and you want to do something for him, and nothing would please you more than to expose me as a fraud or an imposter. Or worse. You'd see that somehow as a victory for Dimitri.
Edmund: That is not true.
Alex: Well, true or not, you're going to have to carry on without my help because I am done answering your questions. Find another way of dealing with your grief.
Doctor, I apologize, and I hope that we meet again under better circumstances.

Edmund: Is she right? Am I taking my grief out on her?
Joe: I don't know, Edmund. Only you can answer that question.
Edmund: Joe, I don't -- I don't mean to be cruel. I mean, why would I be?
Joe: Look, Edmund, you asked for my objectivity, and I'll tell you what I see. I see a woman who's dealing with a terrible loss. I think she's very much in love with Dimitri, and if I'm wrong about that, I'll be very surprised indeed. And as to your main suspicion --
Edmund: Which is?
Joe: Come, come, come. You've been intimating all along that she had something to do with Dimitri's death. As far as I can see, there's no basis for that suspicion -- not in this report, not in that woman's face.
Edmund: Thank you, Joe. I value your opinion highly. But I don't think so. I think I just have doubts. There's something in her story that doesn't add up.
Joe: Yeah, well, you're a reporter. You think there's an answer to every question.
Edmund: Joe, my brother is dead, and I don't know why and I don't know how. Now, for his sake, I have to find an answer.
Joe: Well, sometimes the biggest questions have no answers. People die. Children die. We try to explain it to ourselves, and we're unable to. We'll just go mad if we hang on to the anger and rail against the injustice of it all.
Edmund: Joe, what's wrong?
Joe: Dixie miscarried last night.
Edmund: Oh, God. I'm sorry. I didn't even know she was pregnant.
Joe: No, it's -- we didn't tell very many people. She was having health problems.
Edmund: And here I am just -- I'm burdening you with my troubles?
Joe: No, no, not at all. It's -- actually, it's a help. Times like these, it's good to be able to focus on something else.
Edmund: Yeah, I know. That works for a while, but grief catches up to you.
Joe: Yeah. But right now, I'm concerned about Dixie and Tad.
Edmund: Joe, you're not just chief of staff here. This is -- this is your tragedy, too.
Joe: Yeah. I was anticipating something like this, but -- I lost a grandchild last night.

Dixie: This is a hospital.
Tad: That's right.
Dixie: I don't understand, Tad. Why --
Tad: No, no, no, no. Wait. Just relax, ok? Take it easy. Like I said, you've been -- you've been down for a long time.
Dixie: What happened?
Tad: You don't remember?
Dixie: No. Why are you looking at me like that?
Tad: Because I love you. Now more than ever.
Dixie: What -- is something wrong with me?
Tad: No, no, no, honey. You're going to be fine. You'll be all right. And I've been thanking God for that all night long. I sure do love you.
Dixie: Well, I love you, too.
Tad: Baby, Dix, there's something I have to tell you.
Dixie: Oh…….
Dixie: We -- we lost her, didn't we?
We lost the baby.
