Janet: Bartender?
No.
Late-night hours.
Carpenter's assistant?
Well, that would be -- that
would be a union deal.
Dental hygienist.
Yuck.
Ok.
"$18 An hour, no experience
necessary" --
embalmer's assistant?
Only if I could practice
on Sophie.
Trevor: Hey, hey, hey.
What you got there?
Janet: Oh, nothing.
Just Erica's check.
Trevor: Practicing a little
magic?
Abracadabra, tape it together,
it's going to be whole again?
Janet: Well, I thought I'd
bring it back to Erica.
I'd feel better that way.
Trevor: I will take care
of it.
I will call Erica first time
I get into the office, ok?
So, are you still planning
on turning yourself
into a Wall Street wizard?
Janet: Well, why not?
Don't you think I can wheel
and deal with the big boys
and girls?
Trevor: Oh, sure I do.
I just don't feature you trading
orange juice, soybeans, and pork
bellies.
See you later, babe.
Take care.
Janet: Bye.
Image: You're pathetic.
You finally scrape together
another measly $1,000,
and you can't even hold
on to it.
You know what amazes me?
How you hang on to Trevor.
Do yourself a favor -- change
out of that frumpy outfit
and comb your hair.
Janet: Just go away.
I don't need this now.
Image: No, what you need is
50 grand, and what you got is
bubkes.
Oh, and a torn-up check.
Janet: Just leave me alone!
Image: You need me.
Admit it.
Janet: Never.
Image: I'm the only one that
can help you, and you know it.
Janet: I won't listen
to this.
I can't.
Dixie: Are you having
problems with Vanessa and Leo?
Palmer: Oh, no, no.
No, it's nothing like that.
It's just that I'm still
trying to get used to the news
of Vanessa's younger son.
I mean, life with Vanessa is
never dull.
Dixie: Well, I wish it was
a little less exciting.
I don't like this.
What's up with you?
You're taking the shooting a bit
too much in stride.
I mean, is there something that
you're not telling me?
Palmer: You're not going
to let this go, are you?
All right.
Vanessa has a scorned lover.
Dixie: A what?
Palmer: Yeah.
A man.
His name is Randolph- uh --
Fairweather.
Fairweather, Fairweather.
And Vanessa was involved
with him once, and it seems that
he's -- well, he just hasn't
taken the breakup too well.
Dixie: And you think this is
the guy that shot you?
Uncle Palmer, this is serious.
You have to call the police.
Palmer: Oh, the police --
the police are watching
everything.
Dixie: Well, I don't like
this.
I don't like it one bit.
I mean, is there something that
I can do?
Palmer: No, no.
Not at all, really.
Vanessa is doting on me.
There is something you can do.
Dixie: Well, you name it.
Palmer: Would you try to be
nice to Vanessa and Leo?
Dixie: Be nice?
When haven't I been nice?
Palmer: I know that you're
loyal to Opal, and I O
is your husband's mother
and everything.
But now Vanessa is my family.
And her son -- well,
both her sons.
Dixie: Look, I've been very
nice to David.
And I'm not the one who
maintains feuds or
excommunicates family members.
Vanessa: Oh.
Hello, darling.
Oh.
I hope we haven't been too --
oh, Dixie, have you met
my son Leo?
Dixie: Oh, yes, yes.
Nice to see you again.
Leo: And you.
I'm looking forward to cashing
my rain check for dinner.
Dixie: Yes.
Well, invitation still stands.
Leo: Thank you.
Dixie: Vanessa, Uncle Palmer
just told me about your stalker.
Vanessa: Oh, yes.
Isn't that awful?
I never thought the man would go
that far, and it really tears me
up that Palmer had to suffer
at that man's hands.
Nurse: Mr. Cortlandt, I need
to take you down for
your tests now.
Palmer: Oh.
Vanessa: Oh.
Would you like me to go
with you, darling?
Palmer: No, I'll be fine.
Vanessa: I'll be right here
when you get back.
Dixie: This just must be
terrifying, never knowing when
this guy is going to come around
again.
Vanessa: Yes.
But I feel so much safer now
that the police are involved.
Derek: Oh, good.
Because I have a few more
questions.
Hey, Dixie.
Dixie: Hi, Derek.
Well, I'll let you get to it.
You find this guy, ok?
Derek: Sure.
Dixie: Tell Uncle Palmer that
I'll be back to visit him very
soon.
Vanessa: Right.
We'll do lunch soon, right?
Dixie: Right.
Bye.
Vanessa: Bye.
Leo: What can we do for you,
Lieutenant?
Derek: I've been trying
to track down Randolph
Fairbrother, but I can't find
a single trace of the guy.
Makes you wonder if he even
exists.
Stuart: Adam?
Marian: I can explain,
Stuart.
Adam: Stuart, let me out
of here.
Liza has the remote control.
Stuart: Liza, did you lock
him in there?
Liza: Stuart, you don't
understand.
Adam: Your wife locked me
in here.
Let me out.
I'll explain everything.
Marian: I overheard him
trying to kidnap Colby.
And he tried to lock me up
in there, but I got out
at the last minute.
Stuart: You -- you tried
to kidnap Colby?
Adam: I was going to come
back after things settled down.
I was going to bring her back.
Stuart: Well, then -- then
you tried to lock Marian up
in there?
Adam: I was going to leave
a note for Marian, a very nice
note -- "let Marian out" note.
Stuart, they want to keep me
in here forever.
Stuart: What is this?
Liza: Oh, this is this
wonderful safe room that Adam
built to keep out terrorists.
Adam: Yes.
Now, let me out.
Liza: Seems it worked
the other way around.
Adam: Stuart.
Tad: Adam!
Marian!
Liza: It's Tad.
Tad: Is anybody home?
Marian: What are we going
to do now?
Liza: Ok.
Go, go, go, go, go!
Marian: That was a good
answer.
Come on.
Come on, darling, hurry up.
Hurry.
Tad: Did you just see that?
Rae: Yes, I did.
What the hell is going on around
here?
Tad: Adam.
What are --
where have you been?
And why are working so hard
at avoiding us?
Rae: Yeah, why?
You said -- you promised that
you would help us.
Now, what's going on here?
Stuart: [Impersonating Adam]
I --
Marian: I'm sure Adam doesn't
appreciate your barging in here
like this.
You should talk to Winifred.
She shouldn't allow people just
to come barging in like that.
Stuart: You're right.
You're right.
I will.
Yes.
Yes.
Winifred, I need a word
with you!
Tad: No, you don't.
Listen, I am here for the second
time today because --
because we want to pitch
the idea for the new show.
Stuart: Oh, well, pitch away.
Catch you later.
Winifred!
Rae: What?
Tad: There he goes again.
For God's sakes, Marian,
why doesn't he just shout,
"heigh-ho, silver," and be done
with it?
What the hell is going on?
Marian: Nothing!
Why didn't you wait for Adam
to call you?
He would have been in a much
more receptive mood if you'd
made an appointment.
Tad: He wasn't supposed
to call me.
You said he was going come
to my house.
And since when do you know
or care anything about Adam's
moods?
No, no.
The real question is, why am
I dealing with you?
You're ridiculous.
Where's Liza?
Marian: She's up in Colby's
nursery.
I'll go up and get her.
Tad: Yeah, you do that.
Rae: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Would you please just tell me
what just happened here?
Tad: Why are you asking me?
I'm making this up as I go
along.
Something screwy going on around
Chandlerville.
Come on.
Rae: Oh, for heaven's sake.
Tad: No, honey --
Rae: Oh --
Adam: Did you see the shock
on Stuart's face when he saw me
like this?
If Tad Martin hadn't walked in,
I'd be free right now.
Liza: Actually, I think
he was more upset that his wife
was the original target and that
you had been planning to kidnap
my daughter.
Adam: Our daughter.
Liza: Where's the mute button
on this thing?
Adam: You can't silence me,
Liza.
And you can't keep me trapped
in here forever.
I will get out, and when I do,
we're going to have a little
talk about our daughter
and our future.
Derek: I ran Randolph
Fairbrother name through
our computers, and all I was
able to come up with was
a 27-year-old rodeo hand
from Tulsa that got picked up
for passing a bad check.
Now, I don't know you very well,
but if Palmer is any indication
of your taste in men,
I'm betting this cowboy isn't
your type.
Leo: Did you try any
of his other aliases?
Derek: No, since this is
the first I'm hearing of it.
What would those aliases be?
Leo: Well, when I ran across
him in Klosters, he was going
by the name Wilhelm Marchmain.
Right after you introduced me
to him in Paris.
That's when we realized how
possessive he was.
Vanessa: Oh, well, he was
jealous of my son.
Can you imagine?
Leo: Suspected he was going
to try to have me killed
and make it look like a skiing
accident.
You remember that freak
avalanche?
Vanessa: Oh, don't even
mention it, darling.
I mean, I still get the willies
even thinking about what could
have happened.
Leo: Then about six months
later, he -- he turned up
in Monte Carlo as Stephano
DeMorney.
He followed us everywhere
we went.
Vanessa: Oh, there was one
night in a tapas bar
in Barcelona.
I think there he went as John
Cervantes.
Leo: Yeah.
But the most recent incident,
before this, was when he snuck
aboard Uri's yacht pretending
to be Angelo Pavarotti.
Derek: Pavarotti?
Vanessa: Oh, Luciano's
cousin.
I had him thrown off that yacht
immediately, of course.
But the strange thing is I came
down with a dreadful case
of food poisoning that night.
And they found out that
the balsamic vinegar had been
tainted, and guess who was
hanging around the buffet
table --
Derek: Oh, no, please let
me -- Mr. Fairbrother Marchmain
DeMorney Cervantes Pavarotti.
Leo: Outstanding recall,
Lieutenant.
Derek: Thank you.
How do you suppose your
fingerprints got on
what's-his-name's gun?
Leo: I have a theory.
Derek: I bet you do.
Leo: Randolph had me
kidnapped, put my fingers on it
while I was drugged so that it
would look like I was the one
who shot mother.
That is, if Randolph is his real
name.
Vanessa: You've got a point
there.
Suppose that's an alias, too.
All right, Lieutenant.
He did say that he was found
of Auckland at this time
of the year.
So maybe you could put some
of your people down
at the department on that
and try to track him down there.
Derek:: I'll be in touch,
Mrs. Cortlandt
Leo: All right.
See you.
Brooke: Hi.
Janet: Brooke.
What are you doing here?
Brooke: Oh, did you forget?
Jamie had a play date
with Amanda.
Janet: Must have slipped my mind.
Where's Jamie?
Brooke: Oh, actually, he saw
Amanda in the back yard,
so he ran off.
Did you have other plans?
Janet: Just a hot date
with the laundry a little later.
Come on in.
Do you have a minute to stay
and talk, or do you have to go?
Brooke: I got a minute
or two.
So, what's on your mind?
Janet: Actually, a lot
of things.
Trevor: Knock, knock.
Janet: Trevor, what are
you doing back?
Trevor: I forgot my cell
phone.
[Trevor whistles]
Trevor: Looking good there,
Brooke.
Brooke: Oh.
Well.
No, actually, we have a meeting
today with one of "Tempo's"
major advertisers, and we're
raising our rates.
So I thought I would soften
the blow just a little bit.
Trevor: Oh, yeah?
Well, with your brains
and your beauty, this guy
doesn't stand a chance, does he?
Brooke: Oh, thank
you so much.
Really, that's exactly what
my ego needed.
Can I ask you a favor?
Trevor: Sure.
Brooke: If you're not too
swamped, could you look over
some shelter business for me?
I haven't been able to find
anybody since Belinda left,
so --
Trevor: Sure.
I'd be glad to.
Brooke: Oh, that would be
great.
Trevor: Got to go.
Brooke: Ok.
Janet: Oh, wait.
Didn't you forget something?
Trevor: Well, I got the cell
phone, beauty, charm.
What else do I need, huh?
Briefcase in the car.
Janet: Oh, just a little kiss
good-bye.
Trevor: Hey, you got it.
We already did this.
Janet: Yeah, but doesn't mean
we can't do it again.
Trevor: Yeah, let's do it
again.
Brooke: Listen, I'm sorry.
I -- I have to run.
Trevor: Hey, I'll walk
you out.
Brooke: Ok.
Janet: Well, we didn't get
the chance to talk.
Brooke: I know.
Listen, we'll catch up later
if that's ok.
I really have to stop
by the office before this
meeting.
I'll pick Jamie up around 5:00?
Janet: Ok.
Trevor: Be good.
Brooke: Thanks.
Image: Wake up, Blondie.
This is how it starts.
Janet: How what starts?
Image: First the compliments.
Then the walk out to the car.
And maybe she shows him
a little leg.
And then before you know it,
late-night briefing sessions,
and you're odd woman out
in your own marriage.
Janet: Where do you come up
with this nonsense?
Image: Did Trevor whistle
at you?
Compliment you on your
combination of brains
and beauty?
No.
He laughed at you and gave
you a little peck on the cheek.
And then broke sashays in here
looking like a million bucks,
smelling divine, and you look
like that and smell like
ammonia.
Get with the program.
Janet: Brooke is my friend.
Image: Brooke is single,
attractive, and getting hotter
by the minute.
Janet: I'm not worried about
Brooke.
Image: Was there really
a play date scheduled?
Or did she drop by hoping to run
into Trevor?
Janet: This is ridiculous. You're not going to make me
paranoid.
Image: It's only paranoid
if it's not true.
Janet: This is my life.
I want you to leave.
Image: But I've always been
here.
Don't you get it?
I only pretended to be gone
so you could get Amanda back.
I love her.
She's a hoot.
You can even keep Trevor around
if you want.
But if you don't watch out,
you're going to screw up
and lose them both.
Janet: No.
Trevor loves me.
Image: Yeah.
Trevor likes meatloaf, too.
I doubt he wants to go to bed
with it.
He's a man, and Brooke's
throwing herself at him.
Remember when you lost pierce
to Brooke ?
You want to lose Trevor, too?
Janet: I won't lose Trevor.
Image: You'll lose
everything.
You're being attacked from all
sides.
Sophie's going after Amanda.
Brooke's going after Trevor.
And you're walking through it
like a Stepford wife on Prozac.
Get in gear, girl.
Save your child.
Save your marriage before there's nothing left to save.
Marian: Oh, Liza.
Thank goodness.
Liza: I didn't know what
I was supposed to do.
I mean, I just waited until Rae
and tad were off Adam's monitor.
Where did they go?
Marian: Oh, they're up
in the nursery with Colby.
Liza: Ok.
Well, we've got to act fast.
Marian: Yes, and that means
you, Stuart.
You've got to be Adam again.
Please.
Stuart: I don't know.
I'll -- I feel bad seeing Adam
all locked up like that. It's kind of like I feel when
I see the lion in the zoo.
Marian: Darling, he's not
suffering.
He's got plenty of food,
and he can watch television all
day long.
Stuart: I know.
I know.
But it's still not right.
Liza: I agree with you,
Stuart.
I mean, it really hurt me when
I saw Adam.
But I have to protect
my daughter.
And really, what's best
for my daughter is that he's
locked up in there until I know
what to do.
Marian: Liza, what are
you doing?
Liza: I trust Stuart.
And if you feel that Adam should
be let go, then I'm not going
to stop you.
Marian: Stuart, please.
Please wait till Liza's divorce
is finalized and she has custody
of Colby.
Stuart: I -- I have to talk
to my brother.
Marian: Ok.
Stuart: Alone, Marian.
I need to do this by myself.
Marian: Ok.
Adam: I was watching
you on the monitor.
I knew you wouldn't let me down.
Adam, you're acting like
your old self again.
Adam: Just let me out,
and we'll talk about it.
Stuart: No, let's talk about
it now.
You can't keep doing bad things.
Adam: Yes, I know.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I regret my actions.
Now, just --
Stuart: I don't think
you mean that.
Adam: Stuart, press the green
button.
Press it already.
Stop this feeble lecture
on morality and let me out
of here.
You've done enough damage
already.
Stuart: What damage have
I done?
Adam: Stumbling around
pretending to be me.
God knows how you've gotten away
with it this long.
But you certainly can't take it
any further.
Now, let me out!
Stuart: I think I'm pretty
good at being you.
Adam: You look like me.
That is the extent of
your impersonation.
You -- you lower your voice,
but you don't -- you can't talk
like me.
You can't think like me.
And you cannot sure as hell
be me.
So don't delude yourself
into thinking you can.
Stuart: So you think I'm not
smart enough?
Is that what you mean?
Adam: No.
That's not what I mean.
Stuart: What else could
you have meant?
Adam, for one thing, I don't
want to think like you.
And for another thing,
that doesn't make me stupid.
That makes me smart.
Maybe even smarter than you.
Adam: No, I don't think so.
Stuart: Adam, you remember
when we were kids and we really
acted up and Mama sent us
upstairs to our room to think
things over?
Remember?
Well, I think -- I think Marian
was right to keep you in here
because you got a lot of things
you got to think about.
Adam: Stuart, don't be
a fool.
Let me out of here.
Stuart: So now I'm stupid
and a fool?
Adam: You're twisting
my words.
I didn't say that.
Stuart: Remember how you used
to jump on those kids who called
me dumb when we were growing up?
You remember the time you yelled
at old man tucker when he said
I was -- was it -- a nincompoop,
that time after church?
I never thought I'd see the day
when you -- when you'd call me
stupid, Adam.
Adam: Stuart.
Stuart: You know,
Millicent Greenlee and that
bunch -- I don't -- who cares
what they think?
I don't.
I just never once thought that
you thought that way.
Adam: I don't.
Stuart: Yes, you do.
I can see it in your eyes.
You think you're smarter than me
because you know a lot about
money and business and stuff.
Well, I know a lot more about
people's feelings than you do.
So if you're smart for knowing
what I don't know, then I'm
smart for knowing what you don't
know.
Adam: Your point's taken.
I misspoke.
Now, can we get on with this?
Stuart: Adam, you have
to care about people.
If you don't, you're just going
to keep on making the same bad
mistakes.
Adam: Is it bad to want to be
with my own child?
Stuart: If it means stealing
her away from her mother --yes.
Adam: That's exactly what
she tried to do to me with Jake
Martin.
Stuart: Because she can't
trust you.
Jake Martin was supposed to be
her father.
Not you.
Adam: Yeah, well, it's too
late to do anything about that,
isn't it?
Stuart: Yeah.
Maybe too late, but you can't
just go on being bad to people,
Adam.
Adam: I am an important
person!
I have global matters literally
dying for want of my attention!
I don't have time for this!
Stuart: Adam.
You're not any more important
than anyone else, Adam.
That's your whole problem.
You think it's all about you.
You're just a big spoiled brat.
Well, go to your room.
I'm just going to keep doing it.
Adam: Doing what?
Stuart: Being you.
I'm better at it than you'll
ever be.
Tad: Liza.
What are you doing in here?
Marian just said you were
in the nursery.
Liza: Oh, I -- I must have
just missed you.
Rae, hi.
How are you?
Rae: Fine, I think.
We really need to speak to Adam.
Tad: Yeah.
And he was here a minute ago.
Then all of sudden,
he disappeared.
Where is he?
Liza: Oh, my.
Uh --
oh.
Stuart: [Impersonating Adam]
I'm right here.
Now, Martin, what in blazes do
you want?
Dixie: Well, I thought
you might like to know -- thank
you -- that I stopped by the hospital to see
Uncle Palmer, and he is sitting
up in a wheelchair.
Opal: A wheelchair?
Dixie: Yes.
He just had some tests done,
but he's fine.
Just -- you know.
Opal: And I suppose
his devoted wife was
ever-present by his side?
Dixie: Yes, she was there.
As was her son.
Opal: Which one?
Dixie: Oh, you know,
the continental charmer .
Opal: Oh, him.
Leo: Hello, ladies.
Dixie: Speak of the devil.
We meet again.
Becca: Well, back so soon.
Who do you have with you this
time, the Queen of Sheba?
Leo: No.
Just me.
I would like to express
Signora Agnelli's appreciation.
She absolutely adores her new
haircut.
Opal: Well, another satisfied
customer.
Tiffany: Oh.
Hello again.
Leo: Hello, tiffany.
How are you?
Tiffany: Did you change
your mind about your manicure?
I can take you in a minute.
I'm almost done with
my customer.
Dixie: Actually, I'd like
a manicure, and I was here
first.
Leo: Of course.
I'm here for other reasons.
Tiffany: Well, come on in.
Have a seat, Mrs. Martin.
I'll be right with you.
Dixie: Ok.
Leo: I'd like to thank
you for helping me out.
I hope that it wasn't too
presumptuous bringing
Signora Agnelli by last minute
and all.
Opal: Well, it was a light
day, so it worked out.
Leo: Oh, that's very kind
of you to say.
I realize that there might be
some tension between
you and my mother, but I'm
hoping that there won't be any
between us.
I'd like it if we could be
friends, Mrs. Cortlandt.
Opal: Well, I guess we could
give it a go.
But you'll have to start
by dropping that
"Mrs. Cortlandt" bit.
I'm Opal.
Leo: I'd like that, Opal.
I just got a new job.
V.P. Of international relations
for Cortlandt Electronics.
I was hoping to get a power
hairstyle.
Opal: I think your hair looks
fine just the way it is.
Leo: Thanks, but I want
to look like I mean business.
Opal: Well, hair doesn't make
the man.
It's what's underneath that
counts.
But if you're hell-bent
on a hairstyle --
wait here.
I'll see if Ginger can squeeze
you in.
Leo: Thanks, opal.
Oh -- do you suppose I could get
some tea while I wait?
Opal: Tea, you want?
Well, I think so.
Becca, could you show Leo
the tea and coffee tray, please?
Becca: Sure.
It's right there.
Excuse me.
Janet: Hi, Opal.
Opal: Oh, hi.
Janet: Can I talk
to you for a minute?
Opal: Sure.
I just got to free up a stylist,
all right?
Janet: It seems like business
is going great.
Opal: Oh, my Lord -- knock
wood -- yeah, but this isn't
going to happen.
She is booked solid right up
through lunch.
Could you just sit down a second
till I figure this out?
Sophie: Spare some change,
please.
Opal: Ooh.
Well, sure.
I think the Glamorama can
certainly afford to help out
somebody who's down
on their luck.
There you go.
Sophie: Bless you.
Opal: Thanks, honey.
Listen, you know, I've got
a friend who runs a shelter
for women, and maybe you'd like
to go over there.
She could put you up for a night
or two.
Sophie: Bless you.
Opal: I'll just put
the address down on a card
for you, ok, honey?
Sophie: Thanks.
Now only $48,999 to go.
Janet: What, are you crazy?
There's "wanted" posters
for you all over town.
Sophie: Well, nobody looks
at those things.
Besides, you didn't even
recognize me.
I got to survive until
you pay up.
A girl's got to do what a girl's
got to do.
Janet: Stop that!
Do you want to get arrested
for shoplifting, too?
Sophie: Careful.
Anything happens to me,
your little Amanda gets a visit
from one of my friends.
Bet she'd welcome a visit
from Santa or one of Santa's
helpers.
Ho, ho, ho.
Becca: I'm sorry,
but Ginger's backed up until
after lunch, so it might be
a while.
Leo: I've got time.
Becca: Ok.
Leo: Becca,
are you upset with me about
the other night?
Becca: What, going to tad
and Dixie's?
No, I'm not upset.
Leo: Good, because I have
an open invitation for dinner
and I plan to come again.
Becca: Ok, whatever.
But I may not be there.
Leo: That's not good.
Becca: Why?
Were you hoping for some
Pigeon Hollow blue-plate
special?
Possum fritters and cornpone?
Leo: Ease up, Becca.
Why do you have such a bad
impression of me?
For all that churchgoing,
you seem to have forgotten one
of the commandments.
"Thou shalt not judge."
Becca: And what commandment
would that be, exactly?
Leo: Well, if it's not
a commandment, I'm sure it's
in the good book somewhere.
Maybe you can save my soul.
Tell me about your church.
Becca: Oh, my church?
Well, I belong to a very special
denomination.
Not a lot of people know about
it, just backcountry people,
because they're really the only
people that know how to handle
the snakes.
Leo: Snakes?
Becca: Yeah.
I mean, if you believe they're
not poisonous, then you are
fine.
But the nonbelievers --
watch out.
Let's just say it's a real test
of faith.
I got bit once.
You want to see my scars?
Leo: No, that's ok.
Becca: Are you sure?
What about some swamp land?
Do you want to buy some from me?
Leo: Good one.
Vanessa: You know, it really
was quite endearing,
though, watching Leo.
He was so protective of you.
You would have thought he was
your very own son.
Palmer: You know, I'm having
a little trouble tracking all
of these stories that are
floating around.
What exactly did you tell Leo
about the shooting?
Vanessa: Oh, Leo is very
astute, darling.
He understood exactly what
needed to be done and he did it,
thank heavens, for all of us.
[Knock on door]
Derek: I thought you should
know there's been a development
in your case.
I've contacted the FBI. And
Interpol.
Liza: Actually, I've been
trying to get on Adam's calendar
for a while, and he and I were
supposed to sit down and talk
this morning.
So do you think that maybe
you could reschedule just
a little bit, maybe?
[Colby fusses]
Tad: Oh, jinkies.
How about that.
Sounds like Colby wants
her mother.
Rae: Yes, well, we'll be very
brief, I promise.
By the time you get back
from seeing your daughter,
we'll be done, won't we?
Tad: Yeah, definitely.
Liza: Ok.
I'll be right back.
Stuart: [Impersonating Adam]
we'll talk later, Liza.
You can go too, Marian.
Marian: Oh.
I don't mind staying.
Stuart: This doesn't concern
you, Marian.
Run along.
Marian: Ok, Adam.
Ok.
Stuart: Now, what is this all
about?
Tad: What, are you
on medication?
I just told you, the new sh--
it's called "Nothing
but the Truth."
We're thinking, you know,
reality-based.
Very confrontational,
as in a series of ongoing
exposes that would uncover any
hypocrisy or corruption.
Stuart: Oh, hypocrisy,
corruption.
There's a lot of that going
around.
Tad: Well, you should know.
All right.
We would --
we're contemplating the format
we used at the Valley Inn when
we uncovered you as the owner
of WRCW.
Stuart: Oh.
Will there be any pie-throwing?
Rae: Well, I suppose there
could be.
Some of the topics that we could
cover would be, like --
Tad: Cigarettes -- shops
selling to minors.
Rae: Yes, the store with --
selling cigarettes to kids.
Stuart: Oh, sounds good, yes.
Do you think you could have --
would you be interested in
animal shelters that sell
puppies and kitties to labs
for testing?
Rae: Well, yes.
I think that is good.
Yes.
So that means you like it?
You're going to lend
your support?
Adam: No.
Do nothing for Martin.
Stuart: Well, how much
support do you need?
Tad: Well, it's just a round
number.
But you know, we were thinking
in the department of four --
4 1/2 mil?
Stuart: Well, I like round
numbers.
How about five mil?
Adam: Oh, my God.
Stuart: Here, I'll write
you a check.
Adam: Write him a check?
You idiot.
Stuart: There you are.
Tad: $5 Million.
That's -- that's --
lot of zeroes.
Rae: Yeah.
Tad: Well, Adam, it's -- it's
a real pleasure doing business
with you.
Rae, come on.
Let's go.
Rae: Well, no, no.
I want to talk about Daniel.
Tad: No, I really think it's
time we should leave.
Rae: I believe that he's here
in Pine Valley.
You obviously know something,
don't you?
Tad: No, he doesn't.
Rae: What are you doing, Tad?
Tad: Not now.
Not now.
Rae: I have to talk -- no!
Tad: Thank you very much.
Rae: What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
Tad: Shh, shh.
Ok?
Trust me.
Let's just go.
Rae: What?
Palmer: Well, I certainly do
appreciate your thoroughness,
but I mean, isn't it a little
bit of overkill involving
the Interpol and FBI. For just
a little local shooting?
Derek: Well, you're
a prominent man, Palmer.
And given this fellow's
international status
and his aliases, I thought
the action was warranted.
Unfortunately, neither
the FBI. Nor Interpol is
willing to commit to resources
to maintain an active search.
Vanessa: What a shame.
So what happens now?
Derek: Well, you've told us
everything you can, right?
Vanessa: Yes, of course.
Derek: Of course.
Well, then as long he's out
of our jurisdiction,
there's nothing more we can do
except wait for Randolph
Fairbrother or Angelo Pavarotti
or whomever to surface.
As of now, this is in
the unsolved case file.
Palmer: Well, thanks
for the update.
Derek: Yeah.
I wish I could do more.
Good afternoon, folks.
Palmer: Angelo Pavarotti?
Vanessa: He's Italian.
He's got to have hundreds
of cousins.
Palmer: I must say,
you and Leo -- well,
you're a formidable team.
Just be careful not to bite off
more than you can chew.
You could choke to death.
Stuart: They're gone.
Marian: Oh, Stuart, you were
wonderful.
You know, for a minute there,
I didn't know whether it was
you or Adam.
Stuart: Well, I think
I fooled Tad and Rae.
I just couldn't let Adam out.
He's -- he's so full of himself.
Liza: Well, you know, we got
to come up with a better plan
because we can't keep him locked
up in there forever.
It's not like he's going
to mellow with age.
Adam: Damn straight.
Stuart: Well, I'm not afraid
of Adam.
He's wrong and I'm right,
so I have to just try to keep
doing what's right no matter
what.
Marian: Oh, darling.
I am so proud of you.
Stuart: Oh, ok.
Thanks.
But I got to go.
Marian: Go where?
Stuart: To the office.
[Impersonating Adam] I've got
a business to run.
Adam: I quit.
Becca: I'm sorry, but we are
completely backed up today.
Leo: I appreciate her trying.
Becca: Well, she wants
you to come back again soon.
Leo: Count on it.
I don't give up that easily.
Oh, and we will have dinner
together.
Now, that's the power of faith.
Tiffany: Ginger said she was
out of henna, and when I went
to check the supply closet,
all of the perm rods were all
over the floor.
Opal: Oh, my Lord.
Oh, I cannot get any more behind
today.
Janet, please forgive me.
I'm going to have to catch
you a little later, ok?
Janet: Ok.
It's all right.
Sure.
Some other time.
Dixie: I don't get it.
Adam Chandler gave you
$5 million?
Tad: I'm telling you,
I'm just sorry I didn't ask
for 10.
I almost started singing
"Pennies from Heaven."
Dixie: It just doesn't make
any sense.
I mean, he canceled
"The Cutting Edge."
Why would he bankroll your new
show?
Rae: Tell her why
you said Adam doesn't know
anything about Daniel.
Wait till you hear this.
Tad: This is the best part.
Because it wasn't Adam.
The man we just saw was Stuart.
Dixie: So Stuart is
pretending to be Adam again?
Tad: I'd bet this check
on it.
Dixie: Then where is Adam?
Tad: I don't know.
What's more, I don't give
a damn.
One thing's for sure -- until
he comes back, I got some big
plans for Stuart.
