Paolo: Allora.
We drink to
ecstasy.
Marian: Uh, listen,
I brought all the necessary
papers for you to sign.
Paolo: You Americans.
So anxious to close
the deal, huh?
In Tuscany,
we savor life's special moments.
This, Marian,
is such a moment.
Scott: What is Marian doing
with that guy?
Becca: He's very attentive.
Scott: Yeah, well, she should
be home, celebrating
her anniversary with my dad.
Becca: Well, maybe he's
a client.
Scott: Let's find out.
Greenlee: Hey.
Mind if I crash your party?
Hey, Scott, thanks for giving
Ryan a shoulder.
Cold comfort's better than nothing.
Becca: Looked like
your shoulder was a washout.
I saw Ryan leave.
Greenlee I could tell that
needed some time alone,
so I sent him home.
Becca: Oh.
Oh, thank you.
Scott: Thanks.
Greenlee: Oh, food.
I'm famished.
Becca: Work up an appetite
chasing Ryan, huh?
Leo: An unlikely threesome.
Scott: Oh, hey.
Well, why don't you grab
Greenlee and make it a twosome?
Look, there's a free table right
over there.
Leo: No, thanks.
I'm exactly where I want to be.
David: Well, this is a nice
surprise.
I thought you were working late.
Erica: Well, I was.
But then I got to thinking about
you coming home to an empty room
and you would be exhausted,
no one to kiss you.
David: Hmm.
Erica: No one to tell you how
magnificent you are.
So I came right over here,
came over here to fix that.
David: You're just what
I needed.
Erica: Hungry?
David: I'm absolutely
starving.
All I had for lunch was a pot
of coffee and a handful
of antacids.
Erica: You see, I knew that
you would be way too exhausted to go
out for dinner, so I ordered
something guaranteed to spike
your bad cholesterol.
David: Hmm.
You're very naughty.
Erica: Share it with me.
David: I will.
Erica: How was your day?
David: It was all right.
I spent most of it wading
through foundation paperwork.
Alex took the day off to go
to Jake's wedding.
Erica: Oh, well, I hope that
you took the opportunity to have
all the locks changed.
I mean, Alex Devane has
no business running
a philanthropic organization-
or anything else, for that
matter.
So,
did you tell Joe that he has
a murderess on his staff?
David: Um --
no.
Erica: David,
what are you waiting for?
Listen, if you are worried that
Joe is going to think that
you're playing party politics,
I mean, I will certainly talk
to him.
David: No, Erica.
I will deal with Alex
and Joe Martin in my own time
and in my own way.
Dixie: Hey.
I'm just taking her outside.
Going to meet up with Liza.
We'll see you later.
Alex: Ok.
Dixie: Oh! Got you.
Alex: Joe, can I help
you with that?
Joe: Oh, no, no, no.
Listen, if I let a guest help
with the cleanup, Ruth would
have my head.
Alex: All right.
Joe: Alex, thank
you for being here for Gillian.
Alex: Yeah.
I couldn't believe it when Ryan
walked in.
Edmund: Yeah, I think we all
sort of held our breath.
Joe: Yeah, well, at least it
had a happy ending, anyway.
Alex: I love Gillian
and Jake.
I hope their lives are very
blessed.
Joe: What?
Alex: Oh.
I have to warn you about
something, Joe.
I think you might hear some very
disturbing news about me soon.
Joe: Oh?
Alex: Yeah.
David found out something about
my past.
And if it is revealed,
there could be some serious
repercussions for the hospital
and myself, and I don't think
he's going to be discreet about
this.
Edmund: I'm surprised
he hasn't come to you already,
Joe.
Alex: Exactly.
Joe: Does this have to do
with your practice before
you came here to PVH?
Alex: No. My personal life.
Several years ago in London,
a man was killed.
And I was responsible for it.
Dixie: Yeah, you're so sweet.
Such a pretty girl.
You're such a pretty girl.
Yes, you are.
Oh, you don't like that.
Ok.
Did you like the wedding?
Hmm?
Did you have a good time?
Daddy was handsome, wasn't he?
Yeah.
He's a good-looking guy.
And Gillian, yeah, she was
pretty, too.
She's a beautiful bride, yeah.
She's so pretty.
Just like you.
You were the most excellent
guest at the entire wedding.
Yes, I must say.
What do you think about Ryan
showing up, huh?
Yeah, that was pretty
interesting.
Want to guess why he was there,
hmm?
I can guess.
What do you think?
No.
You're smart
remain silent on the subject.
Well, don't worry.
Uncle Tad is going to figure out
all the answers to the mystery,
huh?
Come on.
Ooh, let's stand up.
Yeah.
Adam: I'm claiming what is
rightfully mine.
It's a pity your family had
to learn the hard way,
but my daughter Colby's needs
come first.
Tad: Colby?
What has Colby got to do
with anything?
Adam: Well --
well Ryan crashed the wedding.
I'm sure it was quite an upset.
Tad: Oh, yeah, was a real
show.
What does Colby got to do
with Ryan?
Adam: Well, I assumed Ryan
was there to woo Gillian away
from Jake.
Tad: I don't know.
You tell me.
Adam: Well, how would I know?
I wasn't there.
What did Ryan say?
Tad: He didn't say anything.
Then again, he didn't have to,
did he?
All he had to do was stand there
and wait for Gillian to do
something.
Adam: Well, unrequited love
is quite a burden.
So the wedding went off
as planned?
Tad: Oh, yeah.
No thanks to you, Jake
and Gillian are now man
and wife.
Adam: So you're holding me
accountable for the actions
of a spurned lover?
Tad: Oh, you bet I am.
Oh, yeah.
Because there's a lot more to it
than that.
Adam: Really?
Well, why don't you use
your anemic detective skills
and go question Ryan about it?
Tad: Who do you think told me
to talk to you?
He warned me about something
awful going down between
you and my family, and that's
where Colby comes in, isn't it?
You going to deny it?
Adam: Deny it?
Unequivocally not.
Scott: Look, I don't mean
to be harsh, but Becca and I are
here together, the two of us,
on a date.
Becca: Scott gave me this.
Greenlee: Does this mean
you're going steady?
Becca: Yeah, funny.
Greenlee: Hmm.
Tomorrow she'll be wearing
Scott's varsity letter jacket.
So, you ready to move
to something a little more
upscale so we can celebrate?
Leo: What's the occasion?
Greenlee: Ryan's still
available.
That's reason enough to pop
a cork.
Leo: Great.
I'll order a bottle
of the establishment's finest.
Greenlee: And still have
change from a $5 bill.
I don't do domestic, honey.
Leo: What happened
to your sense of
noblesse oblige, Greenlee?
Greenlee: I was vaccinated,
and you just want to sit vigil
for Becca.
Oh, but not to worry, Leo.
The corn pone princess won't be
deflowered over a cheeseburger.
Who's that with Marian Chandler?
Leo: I don't know.
A client.
Greenlee: He's an outrageous
flirt.
What's he soliciting, antiques?
She's got to be over 40.
Leo: Be nice.
Greenlee: Nasty's more fun.
Think I'll introduce myself,
treat Mr. Continental Charm
to fresher produce.
Leo: Don't get involved.
Leave it.
Greenlee: What's it to you?
Leo: Nothing.
What happened to your play
for Ryan?
Greenlee: Ryan's not here,
and I want to have some fun
tonight if you're going to waste
your time mooning over Becca.
Greenlee: Leo,
you know that man.
Spill.
Leo: I'm ordering champagne.
Orsini reserve.
Martin recommended it.
Adam: You Martins have
declared war on me and Liza.
Colby goes to the winner.
Tad: And that's why you had
Ryan show up at the wedding
uninvited.
Adam: Oh, did I really?
Tad: Yeah.
Makes sense, doesn't it?
Because all he's got to do is
stop the wedding.
Either that or cast out
on Gillian's commitment to Jake.
Either way, you bring it up
in court, make the argument that
the wedding was nothing more
than a marriage of convenience,
a desperate grab by Jake to get
custody of his daughter.
Adam: My word.
You should consider joining
our legal team.
Tad: Well, you just consider
this, old man --
Colby has nothing to do
with what is rightfully yours,
and no matter what happens
in that court, she's never
going to.
Adam: Oh, really?
Are you so sure about that, Tad?
Tad: Yeah.
What I can't believe is after
all the stupid, sadistic things
you've done to screw up your own
children, you'd be deluded
enough to think that that baby
belongs anywhere near you.
Adam: Oh.
You've uncovered my worst
intentions.
Tad: No, but I'm getting
close.
There's still something else,
isn't there?
"What did Ryan say?"
That -- that's an interesting
question for you to ask,
especially since you asked him
to show up.
And Liza has been begging me
for months not to dig too deeply
in Colby's history because
she was panicked that I would
discover something.
And now here you are,
acting as if you know something,
but your smarmy little lips
are sealed.
Is that right?
Adam: [English accent]
by Jove, Holmes.
You are a clever boots, you are.
Tad: Ok.
What do you say you and I play
a little game of 20 questions?
Dixie: Hi, Liza. Hi.
Liza: Hi. How's my girl?
Dixie: She's so good.
Liza: Oh.
Dixie: She's such
a good girl.
Liza: Come here.
Dixie: She's such a people
person.
Got her? Ready?
Oh. Handoff.
Liza: Oh, goodness.
Get you all nice and warm.
So did you take lots
of pictures?
How was the wedding?
Dixie: The wedding was very
interesting.
Very interesting.
Ryan showed up, stopped
the ceremony for a little while,
but it went on.
Tad happens to think that Adam
was involved.
Liza: What?
Dixie: Mm-hmm.
Ryan sort of hinted at the fact
that Adam had something to do
with him being there.
I don't know -- maybe to make
Jake's part of the custody trial
look bad.
Liza: Well, what -- what
could Adam say to Ryan to set
him off?
Dixie: Well, you would know
better than I.
But it's interesting, isn't it?
Every time you turn around,
you think Adam's getting better.
Just gets worse.
Alex: Geoffrey was
threatening me, I panicked,
and I pushed him down
the stairs.
Edmund: It was self-defense,
Joe.
Alex: I had seen him kill
his daughter when she and I were
children, and he was threatening
me with the same fate if I told
anyone.
Joe: Alex, I wish you had
told me about this before.
Edmund: It was a repressed
memory.
Alex: Yeah, it had come back
in bits and pieces and through hypnosis.
But David was the real trigger.
Edmund: He reminded Alex
of Geoffrey.
Alex: Yeah, in his manner
and in the way he came after me
and he grabbed me and he accused
me of being irrational.
Edmund: Which is why Alex
pushed David down the stairs
New Year's Eve.
Joe: That was not
an accident.
Alex: No, Joe, it wasn't.
In my mind,
David was Geoffrey.
It was as if I had been
transported back in time to that
New Year's Eve all those years
before, and something just
snapped, you know, and I pushed
him the same way as I had
Geoffrey.
Joe: Was there a trial then?
Edmund: No.
No record of one.
No charges seem to have been
filed, either.
Joe: I don't understand.
I mean, even if it were
self-defense, there had to be
an arrest.
Alex: As far awe know,
there wasn't.
Joe: Why not?
Alex: I don't know.
I really don't.
The whole thing is a mystery.
Joe: Yes, I can see that.
I can imagine hw traumatic
it must have been for you.
Alex: You understand why
I needed to explain this to you?
Joe: Yes.
Yes, I do now.
I agree that if all this becomes
public knowledge, it will have
very serious consequences
for you, as well as
for the hospital and
the Andrassy foundation.
Rae: Thank you.
Hello, Mrs. Prendergast.
Mrs. Prendergast: You set any
score in horoscopes?
Rae: No.
No, I don't.
Not really.
Mrs. Prendergast: Sensible
gal.
To me they're nothing
but hogwash, but they can be
good for a laugh.
Mine says, "it's a good day
for romance."
Now, who's going to romance me?
Some broken-down old goat
with clacking dentures and hair
growing out of his ears?
Rae: We -- we understand
you just lost your husband.
Myrtle: Our condolences.
Rae: Yes, of course.
Mrs. Prendergast: Doc was
a good man.
Are you pretending to be
long-lost relatives,
making a claim on the will?
I hate to put a leak
in your dinghy.
Rae: No, no.
That isn't why we're here.
I'm Rae Cummings and this I&
my friend.
This is Myrtle Fargate.
Myrtle: We've been talking to Audrey at the town hall
records office.
Rae: Right, she was nice
enough to let us look through
the records for the
Fannie Battle Home for Unwed
Mothers.
We understand your husband
delivered some of the babies there.
Mrs. Prendergast: Oh, doc did
a lot for those -- those
shameful girls.
Delivered I don't know how many
of their illegitimate brats.
He even managed to find good
homes for most of them.
Rae: Do you know
if your husband took money
for arranging any of
the adoptions?
Mrs. Prendergast: Anything's
possible.
Rae: You do know that's
illegal, don't you?
Mrs. Prendergast: Where's
the crime in money changing
hands?
Doc worked long hours.
He had expenses to cover.
Why shouldn't he just turn
a small profit?
Anyway, especially because
those girls --
they didn't want or deserve
those little ones.
Rae: Mrs. Prendergast,
with all due respect, you do
know that your husband did more
than just sell babies.
He stole them from innocent
young women.
Mrs. Prendergast: Innocent? Oh, now, that is a hot one.
You know, those girls were
nothing but tramps,
vamps, sluts.
Myrtle: Mrs. Prendergast.
Don't you dare get angry
and call names like that.
Rae: Do you think it might be
possible that your husband was
the kind of a man who would tell
a woman who just had a baby that
she had died because he wanted
to sell that baby?
Mrs. Prendergast: If he did,
it was because that mother was
not fit to raise a baby!
Some wild alley cat,
should have been neutered!
Taking the kid away would have
been an act of kindness!
Rae: Kindness?
Is that what you say?
Kindness?
Not only is it illegal, it is
completely cruel!
Don't you understand that?
Myrtle: Rae, darling,
calm down, darling.
Rae: She's defending
a monster.
Myrtle: I know, I know.
Mrs. Prendergast: Who are
you to call names?
Mrs. Prendergast: Who the hell are you?
Are you snoops, anyway?
Are -- are you reporters?
Are you feds?
You get out.
Get the hell out while
the getting's good!
David: I tell you,
you've really outdone yourself.
Erica: Oh, I think I'm very
domestic, calling room service.
David: Hmm.
I love it when you spoil me.
Erica: Oh, that's what I do
when I love someone.
I want you to know that my whole
world revolves around you.
David: Tell me something --
is it always that easy for you?
Erica: What?
David: You know that you're
the first woman that ever heard
me say "I love you."
And I thought it a thousand
times before I could even
say it.
Erica: But that's going
to become easier and easier
every moment we spend together.
[Telephone rings]
Erica: Allow me.
David: Thank you.
Erica: Hello?
Opal?
Yes, it's me.
Yes?
Well, have you tried everywhere?
Yes. All right.
Yeah, I'll be right there, opal.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to cut this evening short.
David: What is it? Is it Bianca?
Erica: No, 's Myrtle.
She's disappeared.
David: Disappeared?
Erica: Yes, she closed
the boutique and then she didn't
show up at Jake Martin's
wedding.
That's so unlike Myrtle.
She wouldn't just vanish.
David: Well, would you like
me to call the hospital?
Erica: No, that's all right.
Opal already did that,
first thing.
David: All right,
listen, why don't you make
a list of her friends,
her contacts, ok?
We'll cover more ground
on the phone.
Erica: No, no, no.
Opal has already organized
everything, and Myrtle might
need me.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to call
you later.
David: Wait a minute.
Whoa, wait a minute.
Wait a second. What is this?
I offer my help and you push me
aside?
Erica: Are you saying that
you would actually like to make
time for this?
David: That's exactly what
I'm saying.
Why shouldn't we do this
together?
Erica: Well --
because Opal has already
organized everything.
And -- and Myrtle's going
to need my help.
David: All right,
listen, before you rush of,
answer me one thing.
How is it one minute I'm
the center of your world,
and the next you don't need me?
Alex: Joe, I apologize
if there is any kind of scandal
over this.
David is not going to keep quiet
about it.
Joe: Look, what I really
don't understand is how a man
could die under those
circumstances and had the whole
thing be hushed up.
Alex: Well, I don't know.
I've tried to remember,
but so much of it is a blank.
Edmund: The records were
sealed by her majesty's secret
service, Joe.
Joe: Well.
It's a remarkable story.
But thank you for the advance
warning.
But having to relive these
horrible experiences --
must be taking a terrible toll
on you.
How you holding up?
Alex: I'm not sure.
Adam: 20 Questions?
How fitting for a TV host.
Tad: Number one --
this secret, whatever it is,
is about Colby.
Adam: Yes.
Tad: Number two -- you and Liza know something that
my family doesn't.
Adam: Well, that list would
be endless, but in this
particular instance, yes.
Tad: Number three --
Ryan knows about it,
and that's what you were
hoping he would spill
at the wedding.
Adam: Technically that's two
questions, but we won't split
hairs.
My answer is --
Liza: Don't you dare say
another word.
Tad: Liza.
Perfect timing.
I was about five minutes away
from finding out the awful
truth.
You could save me the trouble.
Liza: I doubt it.
Tad: Well,
Adam here tells me that you know
something that could change
the whole spin of this custody
battle.
Liza: This custody battle is
not my idea.
It's Jake's idea.
He wants it this way,
and so we're playing it his way.
Tad: What do you say
you and I declare a peace?
You lose the moron, I'll make
sure he drops the custody suit.
Liza: Look, Tad, you know
what?
He won't go for it.
He won't do it.
He's made up his mind.
Tad: Liza, you swore
you would leave Adam.
Do it.
You kick him to the curb
and I swear I will get him
to reopen negotiations.
Adam: Is there anything
as insufferable as a
self-righteous Martin?
Liza: I'm looking at him.
Adam: Liza --
Liza: No, I know what
you did.
I know this little scheme
of yours -- having Ryan go and try to stop the wedding,
ruining Jake's chances
in the custody case.
You know, and now you want
to use Tad.
And you know what?
I'm not going to stand for it.
Adam: Liza, you swore me
to secrecy, and I've kept
my word.
Liza: In spirit.
But in fact, you're leaking
little bits of truth so all hell
can break loose.
Adam: Would it be so terrible
if the truth came out?
Everybody knows already.
Liza: Not Jake.
Adam: All right, but Jake
should know.
He'd be forced to drop
the custody suit.
Liza: Are you purposefully
obtuse?
I don't want him to know.
I don't want it.
Colby then loses her chances
of the love and the security
that I have wanted for her.
You may not want that for her,
but I want that for her.
Adam: And my wishes just
don't matter?
Liza: Your wishes?
You had your wish.
You had your vote.
Adam: All right, you remember
that you tried to compromise
and wooden-headed Jake refused,
and now he's declared all-out
war.
And the truth is on our side.
Liza: What good is the truth
if it could very well
destroy me?
Joe: Alex, if there's
anything I can do to help --
Alex: Joe, you know, if it's
in the hospital's best interests
that I resign or take a leave
of absence, I totally
understand.
Joe: Well, we don't want
to be premature on that kind
of a decision.
In any case, you know,
you're the best judge
as to what's right for you.
Edmund: Joe, I think Alex can
handle it -- you know, the job.
She's a professional.
Joe: Still, having to recall
all those experiences must be
taking its toll.
Edmund: On the contrary,
I think she's bounced back
remarkably well.
I think she's the epitome
of grace under fire and I think
she's the strongest woman that
I've ever met.
Joe: Tell me, how is
your working relationship
with Hayward?
Alex: It's always been
strained.
I just deal with him.
Joe: He still trying
to provoke you?
Alex: He has to lose interest
soon, doesn't he?
Joe: Well, if I were you,
I wouldn't let down my guard just yet.
Edmund: Yeah.
Me, too.
Alex: You know what?
I'm not concerned with him.
I need to find some answers
for myself.
Edmund: You will.
And I'll help you.
Erica: You're not being
pushed aside.
That's nonsense.
David: Well, it certainly
feels that way.
And I'm not just talking about
tonight or Myrtle specifically.
This is a recurring theme.
Erica: What does that mean?
David: I am the center
of your world when it comes
to your terms, your schedule.
But I'm always pushed behind,
I'm always taking a back seat
to your friends in distress
or Enchantment or the next trip
or photo shoot.
Erica: Oh, excuse me,
but I really consider Myrtle
disappearing to be an emergency.
David: Yes, so do I,
and I understand your concern.
Erica: You know, I don't
think it's possible
for you to really understand
my concern or what Myrtle means
to me.
I mean, you were raised
by a viper who pretended to be
a mother, but try and understand
that I had a mother who loved me
unconditionally, who was always
there for me, and, when
she died, I was blessed
with a second woman to come
into my life who helped me cope
with the loss of my mother
and who's been there for me all
the time.
And now she's missing
and she may need my help,
and you have the nerve to fault
me for that?
David: That's not at all what
I'm doing.
I'm just suggesting that it
would be more sensible to stay
here, make phone calls together,
instead of running around town.
Erica: I really think that's
because your world is --
it's all about you.
And my world is not that small.
David: Oh, really?
Well, isn't that interesting.
Just a few minutes ago,
it revolved around me.
Erica: I'm going to find
Myrtle.
David: Fine.
Marian: Just check this out.
I think that this will clear up
that question.
Becca: Hey, instead
of staring, why don't we go over
there and see what the deal is?
Scott: What, like
I'm checking up on her?
Becca: We can be subtle
about it.
Come on.
Hi.
Marian: Oh, hi.
How are you two?
Becca: Good. How are you?
Marian: Great.
Scott: Just grabbing
a burger.
Marian: Well, we're just
closing a deal.
Becca: Oh.
Marian: This is my stepson,
Scott, and his friend, Becca.
Becca: Hi.
Marian: This is
Signor Caselli.
He's about to buy a house.
Scott: That's great,
but, hey, what happened
to the anniversary celebration
with Dad tonight?
Marian: Oh, he knows I might
b a little late.
Uh-oh.
As a matter of fact, I can't
delay any longer.
I've got to get home.
Paolo: Oh, mi dispiace.
Allow me to pay for the check.
I've monopolized you too long.
We be off, ok?
Marian: Ok, great. Thank you.
Thanks, kids, oh, for
rescuing me.
I was trying to keep this client
happy because I'm going to make
a hefty commission when I sell
this house.
Scott: Yeah, but, you know,
I think Dad might rather have
you home than get some --
I don't know -- overpriced,
expensive gift.
Marian: Well, why shouldn't
he get them both?
Greenlee: Ooh.
With no apologies to your boss.
Leo: Who?
Greenlee: Tad.
His Orsini reserve tastes like
swamp water.
If you want to get back
in my good graces, go buy me
a real drink.
Tequila sunrise.
Leo: Ok. Mmmmmmm.
Leo: What's the delay?
Paolo: Leo,
I am an artiste.
Huh?
My work cannot be rushed.
Leo: It has to go down
tonight.
Paolo: Can do nothing
with the stepson hanging
his nose around.
Leo: I'll take care of Scott.
You just make sure that Marian
gets back to your hotel room.
Edmund: How about a couple
of hot toddies to warm us up?
Alex: Yeah, that would be
great, thank you.
Bartender: Sure, be right up.
Alex: I'm glad we came here.
I didn't fancy going back
to an empty house.
That was rough with Joe.
Edmund: You did fine.
And you know what you told him
before about taking a leave
of absence?
Don't even think about it.
What you do in the hospital is
important and
you're doing a great job at it.
Alex: Glad someone thinks so.
Edmund: I do. I do.
Besides, you didn't see Joe
pushing you out the door,
did you?
Alex: Oh, I don't know.
That could have been a little
different if he'd been
at the mall and seen
his reserved British doctor
suddenly turn into Xena,
Warrior Princess.
Edmund: I think you had some
moves Xena doesn't have.
That was very good.
Alex: I can see the headline
now -- "Alex Marick,
neurologist, K.O.'S armed
robber."
Patients will love it.
Edmund: You have a sense
of humor.
That's great.
You keep it, all right?
You start to lose it,
that's when I start to worry.
Alex: You should worry now.
I am.
I don't trust myself.
Adam: Liza?
Revealing the truth can only
work to our advantage.
Liza: If I had gone to Jake
the moment that I had found out,
maybe he wouldn't have
blamed me.
Maybe he would have felt badly
for me.
Adam: You don't need Jake's
pity.
Liza: I only held back
for Colby.
I was overwhelmed.
Now Jake is going to see us
as equally guilty.
Adam: Guilty of loving
our child with everything that's
in us?
Liza: But keeping him
in the dark.
I had my reasons and you had
yours, but in the end
our silence costs me everything.
Myrtle: Mrs. Prendergast,
there is no need for you to get
into an uproar.
Mrs. Prendergast:
She badmouthed my dead hubby.
Myrtle: She didn't mean it
that way.
She didn't mean it that way.
Now, we are not here to make
a fuss or to pass judgment.
We are simply here to try
to find one very, very special
child that we think your husband
delivered.
Mrs. Prendergast: Oh, I --
I admit Doc --
he had faults.
He was a decent man.
He was a decent man.
He used that extra money to give
medical care to those folks that
couldn't afford it.
People always came to doc
for handouts.
He didn't run them away,
the greedy beggars.
That's who they were.
Rae: Do you suppose
your husband kept records
of those babies --
those he got the extra
money for?
Alex: Great.
Edmund: Alex, the times that
you've reacted with force,
they've been justified.
Now, you perceive --
Alex: No.
I nearly killed David.
How can that be justified?
Edmund: I'm not saying --
I'm not saying it hasn't been
scary as hell.
Alex: It is scary.
Edmund: Yeah.
Alex: I feel like I am
sleepwalking through my past.
And then wake up and it's all
a jumble.
Edmund: It's not going
to last forever, ok?
It won't, I promise.
And I'll help you.
Alex: You know, I don't mean
to sound ungrateful, but I would
prefer forgetting about it all
if it meant that I could get
on with my life.
David: Well, look who's out
pub crawling.
How was Jake's wedding?
Edmund: It was great,
thank you.
Um --
Alex told Joe about Geoffrey
and how he died, so that little
bomb you planned to drop?
It's been defused.
David: Why would I waste
my time trying to hurt Alex?
She's already set
to self-destruct.
Becca: So what do you guys
have planned tonight?
Marian: I don't know.
Stuart has a surprise planned.
He hasn't told me yet.
I can't wait to get home
and see him.
Leo: Greenlee, do me
a favor -- divert Scott's
attention.
Greenlee: No.
Leo: I'll remember this
the next time you need somebody
to pull a thorn out of your paw.
Leo: Excuse me for interrupting,
but could I talk to
you for a minute?
Becca: What for?
Leo: You'll see.
Excuse us.
Becca: Wait.
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Marian: That's all right.
Becca: Leo, that was rude.
What do you want?
Leo: What I've wanted since
the first moment I met you.
[Leo grabs Becca and kisses her]
Becca: Whoa, whoa!
Mrs. Prendergast: Doc didn't
keep records.
There's no use raising him
from the dead.
That's all you'll get from me.
Now, look, you get out before
I call the sheriff.
Myrtle: Let's go,
let's go, Rae.
Woman: Don't believe
the old bat.
Doc's records of the babies
he farmed out to families were
written down in the family
bible, locked up in his roll-top
desk.
Rae: The bible -- is it here?
Can I see it?
Woman: The desk got sold at auction
after Doc passed.
Myrtle: Well, forgive me
for asking, but what made
you decide to tell us this now?
Woman: I let Doc take
my baby boy.
Myrtle: Oh.
Woman: Please go.
Rae: God, Myrtle.
Every time I think I'm getting
close --
Myrtle: I know.
Rae: I have to find
the bible.
You know that.
Myrtle: Well, honey,
we won't find it tonight,
that's for sure, so let's take
the first plane out of this
godforsaken town.
Rae: Yea, let's.
Liza: Adam, you know how many
enemies I've had in this town,
how long it has taken me
to prove to people that
I've changed.
Opal, Ruth, the Martins have
embraced me and they've
forgiven me.
Tad is my best friend,
and I don't want to lose that.
If I tell Jake the truth
and I tell him that I was
involved in all of this,
then I just go back to being
the town's scheming manipulator.
And I don't want that.
I don't want that back.
Adam: Ok, I know.
Believe me, I understand what
you're saying.
But it won't come to that.
I won't let it.
Liza: Don't you get it?
Lies take on a life
of their own.
Colby's going to find out.
And she's going to find out
and she's not going
to understand and she's going
to blame me, when you were
the one who set the lie
in motion!
Me and my daughter are the ones
who have to suffer the
consequences, Adam.
Adam: You're looking
at the worst scenario.
Liza: There is no good case.
If Tad goes and he digs up
the truth and he unearths
the truth, I will never, ever
forgive you.
Colby and I will be lost to you.
Adam: Those are hard words,
Liza.
But I don't buy it.
You're never going to be able
to let go of me
because I'm in your blood.
I'm in your soul.
Liza: Don't touch me.
I'm going to go get my daughter.
Scott: Hey, hands off, man!
Becca: Whoa, Scott,
I've got it.
It's ok.
Scott: No, no, it's not ok.
What the hell do you think
you're doing?
Leo: Hey, mea culpa.
Scott: What?
Leo: I drank too much bad
champagne.
Made me see things.
Becca a la botticelli,
draped in pink hues
and sun gold.
I couldn't resist.
Scott: Yeah, you look
at Becca the wrong way,
you answer to me, ok?
Greenlee: Boys, boys,
give peace a chance.
Becca: Look, Leo, you owe me
an apology.
Leo: How can I say sorry
to something that I want to do
again?
Paolo: Yes, well, the check
is finito.
So, allora, we proceed
my hotel?
Marian: Oh, no, no, Paolo.
I'm afraid that's impossible.
I've got to get home
to my husband right away.
Paolo: Ah, indulge me just
a few more minutes?
I left my checkbook back
in the room.
So I want to give you what
you earned, ok?
Marian: Uh, ok, a couple
of minutes.
Paolo: Bene.
Marian: Ok.
David: Watch out
for stairways.
David: The lady that just
left?
She's a royal nut case.
Grey must have a death wish.
She probably killed his brother.
Chances are he's next
on her hit list.
Ow!
Alex: Move an inch
and I'll paralyze you for life.
