Mateo: I'm going to get out
of this.
I don't know what Stamp's up to,
but he's not putting me in jail.
Kendall: Ryan, don't go.
Anna: You're Ryan's father?
TODAY'S - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Erica: Ok, that's enough.
Greenlee: Are you sure?
Erica: Oh, positive.
Greenlee: You had me worried
for a minute there.
Erica: Oh.
I just --
it was the oddest thing.
I mean, my throat just closed
up, and I -- I couldn't breathe.
Greenlee: Isn't it a horrible
feeling?
Erica: Yes, it is.
I mean, all I could do was gasp,
and then my eyes teared up.
Greenlee: Allergies are
the worst.
Erica: Aren't they? Yes.
Ok.
Well, now that whatever just was
affecting my throat that's gone,
then let's get back to work.
So the autumn palette is
absolutely wonderful, but the --
the copy, you know,
and the names are deadly.
Greenlee: You know, from what
I heard, Kendall is a grade A
unmitigated bitch.
I feel so much better.
Erica: Well, Kendall
certainly has a very unique
effect on people.
Greenlee: Run her out
of town, Erica.
Erica: What?
Greenlee: Getting rid
of Kendall is a project I could
totally sink my teeth into.
Kendall: Don't go, Ryan.
How could anyone ever want
to leave perfect Pine Valley?
Was it Chris Stamp?
Ryan, don't let him win.
[Phone rings]
Ryan: Make it fast.
What are you doing here?
You're not supposed to be here.
All right.
[Ryan answers the phone]
Ryan: Stay where you are.
I'll be right there.
Kendall: Who was that?
Ryan: Look, I got to go.
Kendall: Ryan, who was
on the phone?
Ryan: I got to go.
You know what?
You should, too.
No, really, really.
Get out of this dump.
Go. Get out of this town.
There's nothing for you here.
Kendall: A lot you know.
There is plenty for me here.
There's plenty for me here,
and this time I am taking what
I want.
Chris: Don't tell me what
Ryan needs to be.
Anna: He could be your son.
Chris: But he has nothing
to do with this case.
Anna: Ok, maybe you're not up
to it right now, but I hope one
day soon you'll tell him
the truth.
Chris: Well, I'm sorry,
your hopes don't factor
into this.
I'm not telling him.
Anna: Well, I will.
Chris: No, you're not.
Anna: Is that an order?
Chris: Look, you're back
on the Proteus case, which means
you're under me.
You want to be the top cop job
in this burg?
Then don't cross me, and it'll
happen.
Anna: As long as I keep
quiet?
Chris: Smart girl.
Hayley: Then get him up here.
Officer: I can't do that,
Mrs. Santos.
Hayley: Where is Derek Frye?
Chris: Mrs. Santos.
Hayley: Oh, Chris, please.
Just five minutes with Mateo.
Chris: Your husband -- he's
being transferred to a federal
facility.
Hayley: I need to speak
with him.
Chris: He's not allowed
to have any visitors while he's
in the federal facility.
Hayley: Two minutes!
Chris: Mrs. Santos,
you can't --
Mateo: I thought I told
you -- what are you doing here?
[Hayley whispers in Mateo's ear]
Hayley: I just thought of
something.
The disk can prove you're not
Proteus.
Vanessa: My sons, my pride
and my life -- both
so against me!
Leo: Mother, just tell us
what you know.
Is Larry dead or not?
[David dials the phone]
David: Yes, police station.
Vanessa: No!
No, Darling, please.
You mustn't.
I'll tell you everything.
Every dreaded detail.
David: I want to know
the truth, Vanessa, or I call
them right back.
Vanessa: Very well.
Then you shall have -- have it.
The whole ugly truth.
Leo: Well?
What happened to Larry?
David: I can hardly wait.
Vanessa: You -- you have
no idea the pressure that I had
been under.
Do you have the slightest
inkling?
My whole world was --
David: All right, all right.
Stop with the sloppy waterworks,
will you?
Leo: Just let her talk.
David: No.
You know, actually, I like
the brave, stiff-upper-lipped
performances much better.
Go ahead, Vanessa.
Vanessa: I -- I told you.
When I tried to end it
with Larry at the Valley inn,
he did not take it very well.
David: They never do,
do they, Mother?
Vanessa: Look, I begged him.
I begged him, just please go
away.
Please, just leave me alone.
Go somewhere, start all over
again.
I thought I'd gotten through
to him, you know, and when
he left, I thought,
"oh, good, good.
I can just rest."
But then he came back.
David: Yeah. I had a feeling.
Leo: Come on, man, just --
David: Just get to the point,
Vanessa.
Vanessa: Fine.
He said he'd had some time
to consider it and think it
over, and the situation demanded
a little more.
He wanted money, a great deal
of money.
And I -- I tried to reason
with him.
David: You mean you fought
with him, argued with him.
Vanessa: I tried to explain
to him.
I was out of Palmer's life.
I was no more --
I had nothing!
David: Oh, yeah, I see.
So did that soften good old
Larry's heart or not?
Vanessa: Well,
certainly made it very clear
to me that Larry didn't possess
any of the qualities a woman
seeks in a man, no.
David: I'm not going to touch
that with a 10-foot -- just go
ahead, Vanessa.
Vanessa: When he came back,
he threatened to beat me
up again.
Oh, this time he threatened
to leave scars.
You know what he's capable of.
Leo: Yeah.
I do.
Vanessa: Well,
I offered him everything I had.
I actually had a couple thousand
dollars here.
He said that would not be
enough, that he wanted
my jewelry!
David: Oh, jewelry
or your life.
Now, that must have been a very
tough decision, Vanessa.
Vanessa: Oh, come on,
David, they were some very
sentimentally precious jewels
in there!
David: Of course they were --
in direct proportion
to the price tag.
Vanessa: They were all I had.
David: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you gave him -- you gave
Palmer the best months
of your life.
I've heard it before.
Now, what happened?
Did Larry take the deal or not?
Vanessa: Yes.
That was everything I had
in that trunk, you know that.
He dragged it just out of here,
and that's the last I saw
of him.
David: You know, I'm curious
about something, Vanessa.
Why would he toss the trunk
in the lake?
Vanessa: Well, I don't know.
He took out what he wanted,
and having no further use for it
just dumped it wherever
he was --
the man was crazed.
Leo: Do you want some water
or something?
Vanessa: Oh.
I want my five carats
of diamonds, beautifully set
in these blossoms with
platinum stems.
And I would like to have
my emerald choker back
and the sapphire ring that
Palmer gave me on our one-month
anniversary.
Yes -- oh, God, how I could give
myself to that man --
Leo: You don't have to remind
us, Mother, please?
Vanessa: Oh, my God.
Listen, I know.
I realize that, you know,
to some people, jewels feel just
cold.
But not to me.
When I would hold those stones,
I could see myself in them.
David: Hard. Lifeless.
Leo: Knock it off.
Vanessa: Oh, God, David.
It's so easy for you to scoff,
isn't it?
You've accomplished so much.
You're a world-renowned
cardiologist who saves lives
every day, and in comparison
what am I, huh?
Some vapid, silly, ditsy,
useless --
well, I'll tell you something.
When I held those jewels, I felt
value.
I felt my worth.
I almost felt loved.
Leo: Yeah, yeah.
Ok, ok. We get it.
David: Yeah, we get it,
and we're throwing it
right back.
Stop blubbering, Vanessa.
That story is laughable.
Erica: Getting rid
of Kendall?
That's a very tempting thought.
Greenlee: You owe it
to yourself.
Erica: Look, even so, I can't
do that.
It's too late.
Greenlee: Why?
What happened?
Erica: Kendall has wheedled
her way into Bianca's good
graces.
Greenlee: After what happened
at your trial?
How can Bianca not see right
through her?
Erica: Oh, Bianca is still
fragile, and, of course,
Kendall is capitalizing on that.
Greenlee: Well, I'll talk
to Bianca.
I'll get Leo in on the plan.
She trusts him.
Erica: Well, the thing is
Bianca can't get past the loss
of Frankie, and, of course,
now that her sister is
in town --
Greenlee: You mean her sister
as in Kendall?
Erica: No. No.
I mean Frankie's sister.
Maggie -- her identical twin.
Greenlee: You met her, too?
Is that freaky, or what?
Erica: Well, it certainly
isn't going to help Bianca get
over the loss of Frankie,
that's f sure.
And so now if I also make
Kendall leave town,
then Bianca's going to hate me
even more than she does already.
Greenlee: Oh, Bianca doesn't
really hate you.
Erica: Bianca loathes me.
She loathes me for the way
I handled myself after Frankie's
murder, for the way I blasted
Frankie's sister when I met
her -- oh, for a whole multitude
of sins both real and imagined.
Greenlee: Bianca's confused.
Erica: Bianca thinks that
I am a faithless, misguided
control freak.
That's what Bianca thinks.
Greenlee: If my mother was
willing to go to jail for me,
I'd worship the ground
she walked on.
I mean, how many mothers prove
their love like that?
Erica: If only Bianca felt
like that.
Greenlee: Well, she should.
Bianca has no reason to ever
doubt your love for her.
[Hayley continues to whisper in Mateo's ear]
Hayley: Give them the disk.
Mateo: No.
Chris: Put him in the van.
Mateo: Can I have five
minutes with my wife, please?
Hayley: Please?
Please, I just want to talk
to him for a minute.
Ryan: Give him the
five minutes.
Or, what, maybe it'll make
you look bad?
Chris: In the office --
watch them.
Ryan: In case you were
wondering, I'm here for Hayley.
She called me.
Chris: Ok.
Ryan: You're going to let me
stay this time?
Or are you going to get me
thrown out?
Chris: Look, don't get
involved with Mateo and Hayley
right now.
That's my advice to you.
Ryan: That's your advice?
Advice?
Thank you very much.
I'll treasure that.
Chris: Look, just stay away
from them.
Ryan: Why?
You afraid I know too much?
Like, what you did to my father
is exactly what you're going
to do to Mateo.
Chris: I mean it.
Ryan: Or what?
What, you going to slap some
bogus charges on me and have me
sent off to the pen?
Get rid of me?
Chris: Oh, no, you're so far
off on this.
Ryan: Of course I am
because you'd like a way more
permanent solution.
What am I talking about?
Just ask my old man.
Wait. You can't.
Because, thanks to you,
he's dead.
Anna: Take it easy, Ryan.
Ryan: Oh, good.
More advice I don't need.
Anna: You need this.
Ryan: You two, like,
hanging out now?
Siding with him?
Chris: She's working with me.
Anna: I am.
Ryan: Wow.
That's real nice.
Real nice and cozy.
Hayley: I'm going to have
Barry stall the transfer
somehow.
Mateo: How?
Hayley: I don't know.
He'll find a loophole
or a stay or --
Mateo: Stamp's not
negotiating.
Hayley: Well, he's going
to have to because I am going
back to that passageway and I'm
getting that disk.
Mateo: You -- you leave that
disk where it is.
It's safe there.
Hayley: And you'll be safe
once I hand it over to the FEDS .
Mateo: No, I won't.
Hayley: What are you talking
about?
It proves that you're not
Proteus, all those financial
statements.
Mateo: No.
Hayley: They can trace those
statements and find out who
Proteus really is.
Mateo: You can't give him
the disk.
Hayley: If I don't give him
that disk, you're going to jail.
Mateo: And if you do,
if you give him the disk,
I'm a dead man.
Hayley: Don't say that.
How can you say that?
Mateo: Because it's true.
Hayley: I don't understand.
How can turning over the disk be
dangerous?
Mateo: Because Stamp could be
Proteus.
Hayley: Fine.
We'll give it to Derek or Jack.
Mateo: Don't you understand?
The FEDS have jurisdiction.
All the evidence goes right back
to Stamp.
Hayley: And if he is Proteus?
Mateo: He could erase
the files from the disk
or he could add something
to hang me.
Hayley: Are you telling me
that there is no way out of this
for us, ever?
Ryan: Wow.
You should give your new pal
Anna here a promotion.
You are very, very good.
Anna: No, it's not what it
looks like.
Ryan: I never suspected that
you were working me over
for him.
Anna: No, I didn't.
Ryan: You know what?
I'm going to go before I do
something that you're going
to arrest me for, ok?
Hayley: The disk is our only
ammunition and proof that
you are innocent, Mateo --
we need that.
Mateo: We need to save it.
Mateo: I trusted you to get
her out of town.
Ryan: What are you talking
about?
Hayley: He tried.
Mateo: I wanted her safe
and away from all this.
Ryan: What did you want me
to do?
Chain her up?
I missed that part.
Hayley: It's not his fault.
I did this, Mateo.
We -- we can trust Ryan.
We need him.
Mateo: All right.
All right, I'm sorry.
Ryan: So, what, are
they taking you to federal
lockup?
Mateo: Yeah.
I need you to get Hayley
to Texas.
Hayley: Oh, no.
Oh, no, I'm not going anywhere
until this is over with.
Mateo: Please, please,
for Lorenzo's sake.
Hayley: I'm not leaving.
Anna: Is that what
you wanted?
Wanted Ryan to shut me out like
that?
Chris: Look, I don't give
a damn about your relationship
with Ryan.
Anna: He's never going
to believe another word I say.
Chris: Yeah, well, I wouldn't
lose any sleep over it.
Just keep thinking "Chief
of Police," Anna.
Chief of police.
Man: Agent Stamp?
Chris: Yeah?
Man: This just came
in on the Santos investigation.
Chris: All right,
thanks, Jimmy.
Anna: What is it?
Chris: Well, with any luck,
this will close the Proteus
case.
Erica: Is this a career
advancement strategy,
Greenlee, or do you really think
that I did the right thing
at the trial?
Greenlee: No, I am in awe
of your entire plan.
And it's a privilege to work
for and learn from you.
Erica: Really?
Well, not long ago you knew
everything, and nobody could
teach you anything, so what's
changed?
Greenlee: I decided I need
a mentor.
You know, someone to give me
some advice.
That's hard for me to admit,
but I do.
Erica: Ok, then.
Since you do,
let me give you some advice that
you need.
Greenlee: About?
Erica: About men.
Greenlee: Hold on a minute.
I don't need any --
Erica: How are things between
you and Jake since you got back
together with Leo?
Greenlee: Not good.
Erica: Go on.
Greenlee: It's a mess.
Jake hates me, and Leo's
threatened by his very
existence.
Erica: Well, it's a mess
because you played it wrong,
Greenlee.
All wrong.
David: You always play that
pathetic act as a cover.
The first time you tried to pull
it on me was when my father
died.
Vanessa: Oh, David, I was
in shock --
David: Oh, please.
You didn't give a damn.
But you played the helpless wife
of a suicide to perfection,
I'll give you that.
Vanessa: Oh, really?
Well, I recall that I was
despondent.
David: Why?
Why?
When you succeeded at getting
rid of him, didn't you?
Vanessa: That is
a disgusting -- a vile thing
to say.
David: It may very well be,
but it also happens to be
the truth.
Oh, come on, Vanessa.
Weren't you a little proud
of yourself?
You got your husband to shoot
himself!
Vanessa: Oh, God, David --
David: Brilliant, Mother!
Absolutely brilliant.
Vanessa: Why do you keep
bringing that up?
Your father has no bearing
on this now.
David: Oh, I don't know.
Maybe because I never completely
processed the fact that
my mother had her hand in
killing my father!
Vanessa: Oh!
I am just sick and tired
of having his death thrown
in my face!
Suppose I help you process it
once and for all, David.
David: You go right ahead,
Mother.
Give it your best shot.
Vanessa: David, how did
your father take on these
Godlike dimensions?
David: My father was
a good man.
Vanessa: He had his good
points.
David: Oh, well, at least
you give him that much.
Vanessa: He also had major
failings, which he was well
aware of.
David: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, maybe it had something
to do with you nagging him,
huh?
Or picking at him 24 hours
a day.
What do you think?
Vanessa: Your memory is just
a bit skewed, Darling.
I mean, but you were just a boy.
David: Are you kidding me?
I remember how you were
with him.
Your voice could peel
the wallpaper!
Vanessa: Yes, well, it took
a great deal to wake
your father up.
David: Really?
And how much did it take
to kill him, Mother?
Vanessa: Your father was
afraid of everything --
confrontation.
Afraid to take what was his,
what he had earned.
You know, he would have been
nothing without me.
David: Oh, really?
And with you he was a suicide.
Lucky for him he married
so well, huh?
Vanessa: I was the strength
in that family.
And even after he killed
himself, I didn't crumble,
David.
I made certain we survived.
I clothed and fed us.
David: Yeah, any
self-respecting thief or even
a prostitute would have done
the same.
Leo: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
David: But did you ever love
us, Mother?
Even for one instant,
did you love us?
Vanessa: I got you
into the finest prep school,
I put you through college.
Everything you are --
David: No, no, no, no, no.
Don't you dare try to take
credit for that.
Vanessa: Nothing that I've
done, nothing -- no sacrifices,
nothing makes any difference
to you at all.
If you had your druthers,
I should have shot myself.
Leo: Mother --
David: Unfortunately,
nobody gave me a vote.
Vanessa: You know, you think
that somehow life would have
been marvelous with this
quasi-intellectual --
it would have been quite a mind
pairing, don't you, Darling?
But he would have dragged you
down just like he did me.
But I wouldn't stay down,
David, no, and I never will.
David: What, is that supposed
to be admirable, Mother?
That's frightening.
Vanessa: If I were a man,
you wouldn't say that to me.
David: What?
Vanessa: No.
No.
Toughness in men is always
highly respected and ridiculed
in women.
You've tried to keep us down
forever, telling us that -- that
it's a man's world, but I'm
going to tell you something.
If I had been born a man,
I would rule this world!
David: You are seriously
delusional, Vanessa.
Vanessa: Oh --
you'd like to believe that,
wouldn't you?
You would like to believe that.
But one day you'll find
out exactly who I am,
and you will also learn that
you owe me everything you are,
everything you had,
and me alone!
Greenlee: How can you know
I played it wrong?
It was an impossible situation.
Erica: Yes, for you I'm sure
it was.
But you have given Leo too much
of your power.
Greenlee: I've given Leo --
Erica: All of it, in fact.
There's nothing left for you.
Greenlee: What?
Erica: Look, when you were
first engaged to Leo,
before you broke it off with him
when you found out that he was
in town to marry you
for your money --
Greenlee: Oh, how
humiliating.
Erica: Yeah, I'm sure that
that was very difficult
for you.
Greenlee: And then when Leo
turned around and married Laura,
I wanted to kill him.
Erica: Yes, and you let
the world know that.
However, when you got involved
with Jake, then you added
to your power because --
Greenlee: Leo was intensely
jealous.
Erica: That was
a power surge.
However, you did experience
a little short when, after Leo
broke up with Laura, what did
you do?
You accepted his proposal.
Greenlee: But I won him back.
Erica: Greenlee, he won you
back.
But where was the groveling?
Where was the crawling?
Greenlee: Well, Leo wasn't
into making me suffer.
Erica: Greenlee,
you should have been into
making him suffer.
You should have made him work
to win you back.
But instead what did you do?
You gave up Jake.
Greenlee: Well, I wanted
to stay friends with Jake.
Erica: Oh, don't insult
my intelligence.
Greenlee: And don't insult
mine.
I still care about Jake.
Erica: Yes, of course you do,
that's not what I'm talking
about.
That much is obvious.
It's the relegating Jake
to friend status that I have
a lot of trouble with.
That's absurd.
Greenlee: Well, part of me
does want Jake to play a more
important part of my life,
but --
Erica: But you're engaged
to Leo.
Greenlee: Yes.
Erica: Which, if you look
at that the right way,
puts you in a marvelous,
marvelous position --
caught between two handsome men.
Greenlee: Hmm.
I am, aren't I?
Erica: So you can learn
to enjoy that, and you can learn
that that is just the most
rewarding time of
a woman's life.
Mateo: Proteus isn't done
with me yet.
Do you understand me?
Hayley: Stop telling me
to run.
[Mateo sighs]
Mateo: He wants to punish me,
and I don't want you to be
the closest target.
Hayley: You wouldn't abandon
me if our roles were reversed.
Mateo: For Lorenzo.
You need to stay safe
for Lorenzo.
Hayley: This is crazy.
We can prove you're innocent.
Mateo: We will -- eventually.
Hayley: What if Proteus comes
after you?
Mateo: He's not going to come
after me while I'm in custody.
Now, just -- just trust that I'm
doing the right thing,
and I won't be able to do
the right thing if I think
you're in danger.
All right?
Hayley: Fine, I'll go home,
and I'll pack my bags.
And I'll go back to Texas.
Mateo: Thank you.
Thank you.
Mateo: Time's up, huh?
Chris: Yeah, but I want
to ask you something before
you go.
Hayley, Ryan, you want to wait
outside?
Mateo: Oh, come on, you can
say whatever you have to say
in front of them.
Chris: Ok, fine.
This is the last time I'm going
to ask you for the truth about
your connection to Proteus.
Mateo: And I told
you the truth.
Hayley: You know Mateo was
set up with those drugs.
Chris: I'm not going to make
this offer again.
Hayley: He was just gathering
evidence to find out who Proteus
was.
Chris: Oh, really?
What kind of evidence?
What did you get, Mateo?
Mateo: Nothing.
Chris: Hayley?
Mateo: Nothing.
Chris: All right.
I'll just find out on my own.
Mateo: Yeah, you better get
a search warrant.
Ryan: Yeah, he's got one.
Chris: Actually, I've got
three -- your place,
SOS, and your father-in-law's
place.
I'll let you know if I come up
with anything that clears you --
Mateo: Yeah, keep in touch.
Chris: Or incriminates you.
Mateo: Good.
Mateo: Go get the disk.
Get the disk and hide it.
Officer: Your van's ready.
Ryan: I'll take care of her.
Chris: Let's go.
Erica: If the men don't
compete, how will you know
the best man won?
Greenlee: Oh, the best man is
Leo, even though he's shutting
me out.
Erica: If you say so.
But it seems to me that you have
just handed him the reins
to your relationship.
Greenlee: Oh, no.
Wrong.
Leo is not my lord and master.
Erica: Well, maybe you ought
to let Leo in on that.
Greenlee: May I take the rest
of the afternoon off?
Erica: Go on.
Reclaim your power.
Greenlee: I will.
Erica: And then come back
and reclaim your career
because obviously we have
accomplished nothing
for Enchantment today.
Greenlee: Well, as a happy,
romantically well-adjusted
employee, I'll be more
productive.
Erica: I certainly hope so.
Greenlee: And I'll have this
completed and on your desk
in the morning.
Erica: Mm-hmm.
Greenlee?
Thank you for your kind words
about Bianca.
Greenlee: Bianca's a smart
girl, Erica.
It's not going to take her long
to realize she's incredibly
lucky to have you.
Vanessa: Go ahead,
David, call the police.
Tell them I murdered Larry.
Leo: Stop pushing him!
David: She can't help
herself.
It's what she does best.
Vanessa: What, Darling,
are you trying to break me?
I can take anything you throw
at me.
Leo: Shut up!
Vanessa: Leo, Darling,
don't be angry.
Leo: Why can't you ever admit
when you're wrong?
Vanessa: Because I rarely am.
I haven't had any practice.
[Vanessa chuckles]
Vanessa: Don't be upset,
Darling, don't be upset.
And you know when your
brother goads me like this,
I have to lash out.
You understand?
Leo: You're not helping
anything, Mother.
Vanessa: Darling,
don't frown.
Oh, Leo, I depend on
you so much.
Come on, nobody in the world
knows me better than you do,
Darling.
Your love keeps me going.
David: Leo, let's get out
of here.
Come on.
Vanessa: Leo, I love you.
No matter what you ever say
or ever do, Darling, that will
never change.
I love you.
Leo: It's like being run over
by a tank.
What do we do now?
David: I work to get that
psychotic nightmare committed --
today.
Kendall: Come on,
Ryan, I know you're in there.
It's not like the whole county
can't hear your motorcycle.
Ryan: Something you want?
Kendall: I brought doughnuts
for you to celebrate
your return.
Ryan: Oh.
Thanks. Thanks.
[Ryan closes the door in Kendall's face]
Kendall: Hey!
Ryan: Want a doughnut?
Well, we better call
the airline.
We got to get on this.
Hayley: I'm not getting
on a plane.
Ryan: What are you talking
about?
You took one from San Antonio.
Hayley: I lied to Mateo.
I'm not going anywhere.
No.
Ryan: You're staying here --
Hayley: Yes.
Ryan: In Pine Valley?
You can't, Hayley.
I promised him that I would take
care of you.
Hayley: You can do that
from right here at the Pine Cone
Motel.
Ryan: No, you see,
that's -- that's wrong
in so many ways.
I don't even know where
to start.
Hayley: I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Ryan, I'm not going
to sit back idly in Texas
while Chris Stamp thinks of new
and unusual ways of setting
my husband up.
Ryan: Well, what good are
you going to do for him here
in this dump?
Hayley: This is a dump.
Didn't you used to have a yacht?
Ryan: I don't want to talk
about it.
Hayley: Look.
There is a computer disk,
and it is imperative that I get
my hands on it.
It could clear Mateo's name
and put Proteus away.
Ryan: All right.
Where is it?
Hayley: I know exactly where
it is, I just don't know who
I can trust it with.
Ryan: Well, we'll worry about
that once we get it, all right?
Hayley: Not you.
I'll take care of that.
You're in this thing too deep
already.
Ryan: Hayley, when Proteus is
packed off to prison, I want
to be the one who slams
the doors on the van
for transport.
You know what I'm saying?
I want to be the one who slams
the door in Stamp's face.
Chris: These are the three
search warrants.
This is for Mateo Santos'
residence.
This is for S.O.S.
Officer: All right.
Chris: This is for am
Chandler's residence.
Officer: All right.
Chris: I want backup at all
three spots, ok?
Make sure that gets it done, ok?
Each group is to have one
of these with them.
Officer: Each one? All right.
Chris: You got that?
Officer: Yeah.
Chris: Excuse me.
Chris: Devane, if this has to do
with Ryan --
Anna: No.
No, it doesn't.
Chris: Good.
Anna: All right.
I went over what we got
on Santos, and I read
his statement.
Chris: Really?
That tells me you're taking
your job seriously, then.
Anna: You are dead wrong
about him.
Chris: Maybe that's
because you're not fully
informed.
Anna: So, what, you have
something concrete that you're
not sharing?
Chris: Uh --
Anna: Because, look, I am
telling you, you are making
a big mistake.
Chris: No, I'm not making
a mistake.
Mateo is on the level, he's not
Proteus, and I never thought
he was.
Erica: Myrtle, hi.
Well, I thought that we could do
lunch?
Oh, Myrtle, I would stop by,
but --
look, is Bianca there, Myrtle?
I'd love to talk to her.
Oh. I see. Ok.
Right. Oh, ok.
Oh, ok, Myrtle.
Bye-bye.
[Bianca walks into Erica's office]
Erica: Bianca, hi!
Hi, Honey.
I'm so glad to see you!
Come on in.
Bianca: If this is not a good
time, I can --
Erica: Of course it's
a fine time.
Any time you show up is
the perfect time.
I'm so glad you're here.
I have so much to say to you.
Bianca: Well, same here.
And if you don't mind, I'd like
to go first.
Anna: Let me get this
straight.
You just had an innocent man
sent to prison?
Chris: Yeah.
Well, now he's safe and he's out
of our way.
Anna: I don't like that.
Chris: Being kept out
of the loop?
Anna: No.
Feeling something close to respect for you.
Chris: Oh.
So then you agree, then,
playing Proteus MO might be
the way to go, then?
Anna: Mm-hmm.
Setting up someone else to take
the fall so that he will plan
his escape.
Chris: Right.
Mateo was the sacrifice.
He had to be locked up.
It lets Proteus think that he's
temporarily getting away
with it.
Anna: Yeah, and if he thinks
the heat's off, Proteus is more
likely to trip up.
Chris: Right.
Anna: Where do we start?
Chris: Well, Mateo's not
guilty, but he is definitely
hiding something, Devane,
that we would find very useful.
Anna: What?
Chris: Well, I'll let
you know when I find out,
won't I?
Anna: These search warrants
are for real, then?
Chris: Yeah, they're
for real.
Unless you've got a better idea.
Anna: Oh, God.
You know, I just wish that
we could do our job
without steamrolling over good
people.
Chris: That's life.
Anna: It doesn't bother you?
Turning Mateo and Hayley's life
upside down?
Chris: They made their own
bed, let them sleep in it.
Anna: And alienating Ryan
even more?
Chris: You can't alienate
someone who already hates you,
Devane.
Hayley: The disk is hidden in the passageway.
I put it there myself.
Ryan: Well, could anybody
have moved it?
Hayley: The only other person
that knows it's there is Mateo.
No way.
Ryan: All right.
I'll go get the disk.
While I'm gone, don't do
anything.
You're not here.
Don't answer the door,
don't answer the phone, nothing.
Hayley: I won't sneak past
the manager's desk, if that's
what you mean.
Ryan: Right. Right.
Because if Proteus' people find
out you're here --
Hayley: Proteus is not going
to find out I'm here, I promise.
Ryan: Ok.
Hayley: Hey, Ry?
Thanks a lot.
You're a good man.
[Ryan opens the door to leave, Hayley hugs him and Kendall sees them]
David: Watch me, Leo.
You watch me cut through all
the red tape.
One call to Dr. Nevis,
and Vanessa will be
in evaluation.
Leo: She's not going
to cooperate with this, David.
She's not going to just walk
into a doctor's office.
David: Yeah, well,
then Dr. Nevis will have
to come here.
But by morning, she will be
in a locked ward.
Leo: Listen, you can't
commit her.
David: Not without Dr. Nevis
I can't.
Leo: We haven't even
discussed this.
David: I don't have to.
Leo: Look, you wanting it
doesn't make it right, ok?
David: Leo, after what
we just witnessed, what is there
to discuss?
We both know the woman is
twisted!
She's been twisted for years!
She drove my father to suicide, she "accidentally" killed one
lover!
And we can both guess what
she did to Larry.
Leo: Well, hey, you have
no evidence of that.
David: Even without
the business with Larry,
the woman is deranged at best.
That's enough to put her away.
Leo: Yeah, but --
[Greenlee walks into the loft]
Greenlee: Put who away?
David: Vanessa.
I want to call a colleague
to have her committed, and Leo
is playing devil's advocate.
Greenlee: You're against it?
Leo: Look, all I'm saying is
that an asylum might not be
the best answer.
Greenlee: Well, if
the question contains the name
"Vanessa," it is.
David, you are completely right.
Call.
Do whatever it takes.
Leo: David, I said no.
[Meanwhile - back in Vanessa's hotel room]
Vanessa: The lake, you idiot.
Well, we didn't have to wait
for the spring thaw, did we?
Somebody found the trunk.
Well, now you go fish.
You find Larry's body before
somebody else does.
Look, I'm wrapping things up
here shortly, and I don't want
any loose ends.
Santos?
Good.
Good.
Well, once I'm safely out
of Pine Valley, I'll contact
my little friend in prison.
And Mateo Santos might die
in a grisly prison brawl.
PREVIOUSLY ON - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Adam: What are you doing
in my house?
Greenlee: I'm going to be
your wife.
Leo: Maybe we should rethink
that.
