Erica: Bianca and I are going
to be the two most glamorous,
the most show stopping mother
and daughter on the slopes
of Gstaad.
David: Very chichi.
Pine valley won't be the same
without you.
Erica: For you.
David: Dashing.
I should wear it to
the hospital, give my patients
a thrill.
Erica: I bet they'd love it.
But I have a better idea.
Why don't you wear it in Gstaad?
David: What?
Erica: I want you to come.
David: Well, I don't want
to interfere with you
and your daughter.
Erica: Oh, I think --
Bianca's bringing a friend.
So I think they would prefer not
to see me around them all
the time, especially when
they're chasing boys.
And besides, it's perfect timing
for us.
I mean, you obviously can't
operate with your shoulder.
Why not recuperate with Bianca
and me?
David: Well, I'm not exactly
ready for downhill just yet.
Erica: Well, maybe we'll just
have to keep warm by the fire.
Come.
David: Miss Kane,
you've rendered me speechless.
Erica: Is that a yes?
Alex: I've been dying to come
here.
Edmund: Really?
I didn't figure this was
your kind of place.
Alex: Oh, yeah.
They get very shocked
if you salsa in a tearoom.
Edmund: How about Rumba?
Do you do that, too?
Alex: Cha-cha-cha,
Tango, whatever you want.
Dimitri told me about this
place.
Apparently, what, you two had
a fireworks display here?
Edmund: Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he still owes me for that,
you know?
Alex: Hmm.
Edmund: He was the master
of ceremonies, making sure
everybody was running around
having a great time, and
he had to leave early that
night.
That's --
he had a headache.
Mateo: Hey.
Edmund: Hey, Matt.
Mateo: Wow, what a surprise.
Edmund: How are you?
Mateo: Good, good.
Drinks? Margaritas?
Alex: Yeah.
Are they any good?
Mateo: "Are they any good."
You be the judge.
Hey, oh, listen --
you looked beautiful the other
night.
Alex: Oh.
Mateo: You really did.
I'm glad you could show up.
Did you have a good time?
Alex: Yeah.
Mateo: Yeah?
Edmund: Matt, some
of the Empanadas, your famous
ones, would be great.
Mateo: Coming up.
Edmund: Thanks.
Come on, sit down.
Alex: Oh.
Edmund: Listen, I'm sorry
he brought up the Crystal Ball.
Alex: Oh, it's all right.
He didn't know.
Edmund: No, he didn't.
And you know what?
It seems like just about nobody
knows what happened between
you and David.
Alex: Thank goodness.
Edmund: Yeah.
Maybe David will keep his mouth
shut.
Alex: He stopped by Wildwind
today.
Something very strange happened.
Janet: I swear, Trevor,
nothing's going on.
Trevor: Don't tell me there's
nothing going on.
You're wound up like a top.
I got to know why.
Janet: Well, I'm just
stressed out, that's all.
The holidays are barely over.
I've got tax season --
Trevor: Stressed out?
That's why you go to Adam
Chandler's today?
Janet: Were you spying on me?
Trevor: Babe, there's
something going on with you.
Something's eating you up
from the inside.
Just level with me.
Tell me what it is.
Janet: I can't.
Trevor: You --
you go to Adam Chandler?
I'm guessing it's got to be
about money here, because ever
since Christmas you've been
asking for this $50,000.
So what is it?
Are you sick?
Are you having an affair?
Are you losing money
in the stock market, or --
somebody --
somebody blackmailing you?
Janet: No.
It's nothing like that.
Trevor: So I can't help
you unless you fill
in the blanks here.
Janet: I -- I can't.
I -- I don't know where
to start.
Trevor: Sure, you do.
Just -- just start with --
do you love me?
Do you want me to help you?
Janet: Yeah.
Trevor: Is it about money?
Is it Sophie Malinowski?
Janet: Why would you say
that?
Trevor: Because ever since
Derek came here telling
you your cellmate busted out,
you've been acting squirrelly,
that's why.
I figure there's got to be some
kind of connection.
Janet: There is something.
Trevor: All right, now we're
getting somewhere, babe.
Janet: It has to do
with the past.
And money.
Trevor: So it is about
Sophie.
Janet: It's not about Sophie.
It's my mother.
Trevor: Wilma!
What, has that barracuda worked
her way through the seven seas
already?
Janet: Some shipboard romance
gone bad.
Some gigolo broke her heart.
Trevor: Well, I don't care
about her Buccaneer.
I just don't want her around us
and you.
Janet: She's been calling me
for weeks trying to get money
from me for a condo.
Trevor: What?
Janet: She wants to move
into some retirement
community --
Trevor: Oh, man.
Janet: Here, in Pine Valley.
Trevor: No!
No way, no how!
Janet: See, I knew this would
upset you.
This is why I didn't want
to tell you.
I --
Trevor: Well, look at you.
You're a wreck right now.
I'm telling you, you got
a number for her?
I'm taking care of this right
now.
The only thing she's getting
from me is a one-way ticket
into the Bermuda triangle!
Janet: Trevor, I can handle
this.
Trevor: You can't handle it!
You obviously can't handle it!
Amanda: What's the matter?
Janet: Nothing, sweetheart.
Amanda: Daddy was yelling.
Trevor: So what else is new?
I'm just getting excited.
I get loud.
Janet: So, how was
the ice show?
Was it fun?
Did you have a good time
with Brooke and Jamie?
Trevor: Was it fun?
Was it nice?
Amanda: Yeah, it was great.
Nothing's the matter?
We can still go to Nature Guides
Night tonight, right?
Trevor: Yeah -- I --
it slipped my mind.
But just for a second, honey.
No -- no problem.
Amanda: You still want to go?
Trevor: Yeah, yeah.
There's no way I would miss
daddy-daughter night
with my number one girl.
You've been practicing your Boland for the
demonstration?
Amanda: And the Clove Hitch.
Trevor: Yeah, yeah,
that's my girl.
Janet: You better go get
changed.
Amanda: I need my book
on knots and my rope.
Janet: I'll get it. Go on.
Amanda: Ok.
Trevor: Look, I don't want
to disappoint her, but,
you know, maybe I should stay
home.
There will be another
daddy-daughter night next year.
Janet: Well, Amanda might not
be doing the Clove Hitch next
year.
Besides, it's a tradition.
Trevor: Yeah, you're right.
But as soon as I get back,
we're taking care of this.
I don't care what time zone
she's in or how late it is.
You got that?
Hayley: Spring preview ideas,
shaggy hair, spiky heels --
Trevor: What the heck are
you talking about?
Hayley: Dangly earrings --
Trevor: Oh, is that one
of those voice-activated
thingamajiggies?
Hayley: Uh-huh.
Neat, huh?
I get an idea, I talk,
it records.
Voila, magic.
Trevor: Not enough tape
in the whole world for you.
[Trevor laughs]
Hayley: Very funny.
You excited about your big night out with Amanda?
Trevor: Yeah.
You seem to be in a better mood.
You seen Mateo?
Hayley: Mm-hmm.
And work is how I'm dealing
with it.
You don't seem too hepped up.
Trevor: It's Janet.
Hayley: What's the matter?
Is she sick?
Trevor: No. This is terminal.
Her mother, Wilma, has been
calling, asking for money.
Hayley: That explains why
she's been so on edge.
Trevor: Yeah.
Well, at least now I know what
it is and I can deal with it.
Bang, boom.
Hayley: Yeah.
Trevor: Can you do me
a favor?
Hayley: Of course.
Name it.
Trevor: Um --
just, you know, when I leave,
if you could just get Janet
to open up and just,
you know, stay close to her.
She's a little off kilter right
now.
Hayley: Oh, yeah.
I'll do whatever I can.
Trevor: You're the greatest.
Hayley: Oh.
Don't worry about it.
Everything's going to be ok,
Uncle Porkchop.
And besides, how often do I get
to help out my guardian angel?
Trevor: Yeah, 200 pounds'
worth of guardian angel.
[Hayley laughs]
Leo: Hey, beautiful.
You busy?
Becca: I'm making a list
for Scott's surprise party.
What are you doing here?
Don't you usually cut out
by now?
Leo: I don't head
for the nearest Martini
the minute the sun sets,
if that's what you think.
Becca: I don't think about
you at all, actually.
Leo: Could you tone down
the honesty?
Becca: I thought that's what
you liked about me?
Leo: I know that you've
already written me off.
I guess that I'm so shallow that
I'm not worth the effort.
Becca: I don't do pity.
Leo: Oh, come on, Becca.
Save my soul.
Becca: Maybe you're beyond
help.
Leo: Oh, so you're just going
to give up on me before we even
get started?
Becca: Ok.
What bothers you most about
the world?
Leo: Belligerent customs
agents, Paris in August,
cheap cigars,
velour sweat suits.
Shall I go on?
Becca: I was hoping
for something a little less
self-involved.
Leo: Like what?
Becca: Hunger, poverty,
destruction of the rain forest.
Leo: Those have nothing to do
with me.
Becca: Exactly.
You're hopeless.
Leo: Well, not if
you help me.
What do I do?
Becca: Well, for starters,
you could focus on something
or someone other than yourself.
Leo: Like you?
Becca: Are you free tonight?
Leo: Dinner?
Yeah.
You can fill me in on
the delights of the high road,
and I can provide the food,
the wine, and the candlelight.
Becca: Well, I had something
else in mind.
Why don't you come with me
to my church's soup kitchen?
Leo: Soup kitchen?
It's a little extreme
for a rookie, don't you think?
Becca: No, it's perfect.
Helping others less fortunate is
a great way to start.
I mean, you are serious about
this, right?
Erica: Will you visit us
in Gstaad?
David: It's a very
big step -- joining
you and Bianca.
Is she ready?
Erica: She adores you.
David: As her doctor.
Erica: I shouldn't tell
you this, but you have inspired
a case of hero worship.
You know, Bianca and I both owe
you our lives.
David: Yes, but is she ready
to accept me as the man
in your life?
Erica: She already knows that
you're very special to me.
And it would give us such
a wonderful chance to enjoy
ourselves.
David: Sounds wonderful
to be a part of your life
with Bianca.
But I can't.
Erica: Why not?
David: Because I can't leave
the Andrassy foundation right
now, not with Alex and the way
that she is.
Erica: Oh --
David: I really need to stay.
Erica: I don't think that
it's safe for you to be around
her right now.
Spend a few days with Bianca
and me.
The foundation isn't going
to fall apart.
David: No, but Alex might.
That's why it's imperative that
I stay close.
Erica: Oh -- what can happen
in a few days?
David: Anything.
Even today, I went to get
my watch over at Wildwind.
I ran into Alex.
She was trying to hide it,
but she was a nervous wreck.
She even suggested that
I resign.
Erica: Well, if anyone should
resign, it's Alex.
David: That's exactly what
I said, but there's more.
In the middle of our
conversation, she called me
Geoffrey.
And she got so flustered that
she ran out of the house.
Erica: Well, it is so clear
that she's unstable.
And I don't understand,
David -- I don't understand why
you covered for her when
she pushed you down the stairs.
David: Because I want to do
this another way.
Erica: The kindness way.
Well, you know what?
That's not going to work.
That's going to get you hurt
again or worse.
David: I know what I'm doing.
Erica: But, David --
David: No, Erica,
not a word, ok, to anyone.
Do you understand me?
Vanessa: Well, hello,
Erica, David.
Erica: Palmer, hi.
Do you have a minute?
Palmer: For you,
Erica, always.
Erica: Thank you.
It's about that Alex Devane.
David: Erica!
Erica: I am not going to be
quiet about this, David.
The woman has to be stopped.
David: It's really not worth
wasting Palmer's time with this.
Palmer: The time I spend
with Erica is never wasted.
Can't say the same for you,
however.
Vanessa: Well, I for one
would love to hear what Erica
has to say.
David: Ah!
Vanessa: What?
Erica: Vanessa!
Vanessa: What?
David: This sling is not
a fashion statement.
I dislocated my shoulder.
Erica: Alex Devane dislocated
his shoulder when she pushed him
down the stairs at the Crystal
Ball.
David: I tripped.
Erica: She deliberately
shoved you.
David: It was an accident.
Erica: It was intentional
and completely unprovoked.
Vanessa: Oh, I so love a good
game of he said, she said,
but --
David: Oh, will you keep out
of this, mother?
Vanessa: Well, a word
of advice, darling.
You two should get your stories
straight before you go public.
Bickering is so unattractive.
Edmund: So, did you and David
argue?
Alex: Oh -- well, I mean,
it's never pleasant between us.
We were
discussing what happened.
He said something that --
I called him Geoffrey.
[Edmund laughs]
Edmund: Does he remind
you of a Geoffrey that you've
known somewhere?
Alex: No.
I mean, the only Geoffrey I know
is Chaucer.
And I've never met him, so --
Edmund: Ok.
You know, I've done this thing
for a living for quite some
time.
You want to join me?
Alex: Sure. What?
Edmund: Ok.
Geoffrey.
You know anybody in the hospital
with the name of Geoffrey?
Alex: No.
Not that I've met, no.
Edmund: Someone you might
have met through Dimitri?
Alex: No.
Edmund: Colleague
from London?
Friend of a friend?
Alex: No.
Edmund: Friend of a friend's
friend's dog?
Alex: No.
Yeah, I really don't know.
Edmund: Well, maybe David
reminds you of someone
from the past that was just
as troubling.
Alex,
I want to help you,
if you'll let me.
Janet: You guys better
hurry up.
It's a long way to
Camp Evergreen.
Trevor: These cinnamon buns
are fantastic.
You sure know how to take care
of us.
Janet: Somebody has to.
Amanda: Can I have one,
Mommy?
Janet: Sure.
It'll hold you over on the ride.
Trevor: You sure you don't
want to come along?
Ride shotgun?
Janet: No. I'll be fine.
Trevor: I don't like leaving
you here by your lonesome.
Amanda: Oh, no!
Janet: What's wrong?
Trevor: What? What?
Janet: What happened?
Amanda: I promised to bring
plastic cups and we're all out.
Hayley: Well, that's not
a problem.
I'll just call Mateo over
at the club and see if he has
any.
Not one word.
Trevor: Ok.
Why don't you show your mom that
knot you showed me, ok?
Amanda: Ok.
[Telephone rings]
Mateo: S.O.S.
Hayley: Hey, it's me.
Mateo: Hey.
Hayley: I need a big favor.
Mateo: Yeah, anything.
What's going on?
Hayley: Amanda needs some
paper cups for her Nature Guides
Outing this evening.
Mateo: I've got cups.
[Hayley laughs]
Mateo: Why don't you tell
them to stop by?
And, listen, why don't
you stop by?
There's a band here tonight.
Actually, you remember that band
that you scouted
in Montoursville and you signed
them on the spot?
Hayley: Chevere?
Mateo: Right. Right, yeah.
They're here.
Why don't you drop by?
Hayley: I was kind
of thinking about staying
in and working tonight.
Mateo: Yeah.
Well, you know, no agenda.
I just remember how excited
you were about them.
And, you know, maybe you could
interview them for your show.
Hayley: Hmm.
Appealing to my work ethic, eh?
Mateo: Uh -- yeah.
[Mateo laughs]
Hayley: All right,
I'll be there.
Mateo: Yeah?
All right.
See you then.
Bye.
Janet: I want a full report
on the knot demonstration.
Trevor: You'll get it.
And then afterwards,
maybe you and I will get
a little knotty.
Janet: Ooh.
[Trevor laughs]
Janet: I love you so much.
Trevor: Hey, I love you.
The armor may be rusty,
but I still want to slay
your dragons, baby.
Amanda: There's no such thing
as dragons.
Trevor: Ah, you don't know.
Janet: You two are
my whole life.
You know that?
Trevor: It's only going
to get better.
Janet: Well, you better get
going or you're going to be
late.
Trevor: Yeah.
I don't want to leave,
but, hey, I'll be back sooner
than you know it.
Janet: Drive safe.
Trevor: I'll take care
of that problem, ok?
Janet: I love you, too.
[Trevor leaves with Amanda and Sophie sneaks in]
Sophie: Ok, Mommy Warbucks,
it is time to get with
the program.
I want the money now.
David: Why don't I take
you to your table, Vanessa.
You wouldn't want to miss
happy hour.
Vanessa: Oh, but I'm having
so much fun.
Palmer: It'll just be
a moment, Vanessa.
Palmer: All right, my dear.
What's on your mind?
Erica: I'm worried, Palmer.
Palmer: Hmm.
Erica: Alex Devane is
dangerous.
She is out of control.
Palmer: Well, she's been
nothing but professional when
I've been with her.
Erica: Don't let her fool
you with that act of hers.
Palmer, I'm telling you,
she is completely unstable.
And to have a woman like
her representing the Andrassy
foundation -- I mean,
that is just absolutely
disastrous.
Palmer: You sure this
isn't a -- a personal vendetta?
Erica: Palmer, seriously.
This woman would pose a threat
to anyone who would come
in contact with her.
Palmer: What do you want me
to do?
Erica: Palmer, you're
on the hospital board.
Palmer: Mm-hmm.
Erica: There must be a way
to have her removed
as co-director of the Andrassy
foundation.
And if anyone can do it,
I know you can.
Vanessa: You look like
you could use a drink, David.
David: And you look like
you're going to start digging.
Vanessa: Ha!
Woman trouble, or should I use
the plural here?
First, Dr. Marick pushes
you down a flight of stairs
and then Erica pushes you around
in public.
I warned you you were out
of your league.
David: As usual,
mother, you don't know what
you're talking about.
Vanessa: Oh, my.
I wish you'd follow your younger
brother's example.
David: Oh, please.
Chasing after jailbait doesn't
exactly excite me.
Vanessa: No, he's found
a charming companion in Greenlee
Smythe.
David: Oh.
Vanessa: She's beautiful,
she's well-mannered,
she's pedigreed.
David: And always in heat
from what I can see.
Vanessa: Well, there's
nothing wrong with a
high-spirited girl from a good
family.
And she offers a very nice
diversion for Leo, and
if he so decides, I'm sure there
would be a sumptuous dowry
involved.
David: You're a hopeless
romantic, Vanessa.
Vanessa: Hmm.
And you, unfortunately,
my darling, are in for a very
bad time with Erica Kane.
Your future with her looks
so bleak.
David: Don't you wish.
Vanessa: Truth hurts that
much, David.
David: Am I interrupting?
Palmer: Oh, no.
No. We're done.
I'll think about what you said,
Erica.
Erica: Thank you, Palmer.
Thank you.
I know that I can always depend
on you.
Palmer: Mm-hmm.
David: So tell me --
what part of "keep out of this"
don't you understand?
Leo: I'm allergic.
Becca: To soup?
Leo: Kitchens.
Becca: Well, you don't have
to cook.
All you have to do is serve.
Leo: I don't think I'm ready.
Becca: It's not about you.
It's about hungry people who
need a meal.
Leo: I'm thinking about them.
What if I spill the soup
on them?
What if it stains their clothes
and they get burnt?
Becca: Well, then, you can
wash dishes.
I mean, come on.
That's the great thing about
this is that it doesn't require
any special skills.
Even you can contribute.
I mean, Leo, this is all a big
joke to you.
Leo: No.
I'm absolutely committed, 100%.
Becca: So you'll do it?
Leo: I'll do it.
Becca: Great.
Come on.
Don't look so worried.
These people are really nice.
They have great stories.
We laugh.
They play music.
Sometimes we dance.
Leo: Well, should I brush up
on the Macarena?
Becca: No, but you should
probably change your clothes
while I'm finishing this.
Leo: What's wrong with what
I'm wearing?
Becca: Well, I'd hate to see
your dry-clean-onlys get dirty
when we clean up.
Leo: Clean up?
Becca: Yeah.
Do you have a hair net?
Leo: No!
Janet: Now?
That's not the deal.
You said I had until tomorrow.
Sophie: I changed my mind.
Janet: You can't do that.
Sophie: My game, my rules!
Janet: Keep it down.
My niece is upstairs.
Sophie: What, that little
blond kitten?
How irritating.
So did you get the money?
Janet: What's the rush?
Sophie: Listen, the cops are
poking around the Pine Cone.
I don't want my mug
on "America's Most Wanted."
Image: Least wanted is more
likely.
Sophie: So, hand over
the moola and I'm out of here.
Janet: I don't have it!
Sophie: What?
Janet: I went to Adam
Chandler.
He gave me a check, but I said
that I needed cash to help you.
Sophie: Help me?
You have lied to me.
You clobbered me on the head
with a candy cane.
You trashed my necklace!
I mean, can you blame me
for having trust issues?
Janet: Just give me till
tomorrow morning.
I'll go to get the money
from the banks as soon
as they open.
Sophie: Oh, if this is
another one of your rinky-dink
moves, Janet, you know what'll
happen.
I mean, you play straight
with me or I'll have my pal
break your buttercup in two.
Maybe he'll take out
Mr. Pork roast, that lug
of a husband of yours while he's
at it.
Image: The big, bad wolf
story again.
Come on, Janet.
Wise up.
If there really was some goon
out there following
you and your family around,
don't you think you would have
seen him by now?
Sophie: Huh?
What's to think about?
Get a move on!
Image: You're out of options.
You got to whack her -- tonight.
Tell her you need an hour.
Janet: I need an hour.
Just give me one hour.
I'll get you the cash.
Sophie: Not one second more.
I'll be back.
Image: Not here.
Tell her you'll meet
her at the warehouse on the east
side of town.
And make sure she uses
the front door.
Janet: You know what?
We should meet someplace else
because my niece might still be
here.
It's too risky.
Meet me at the warehouse
on the east side of town.
It's out on Hillspoint Road.
You know the one?
Sophie: Yes.
Janet: Anyway, come
in the front entrance.
And I'll see you there
in an hour -- make it an hour
and a half.
Sophie: Ok, Janet,
but you come alone.
You bring anyone with you within
spitting distance, you know
what'll happen.
Huh?
Janet: Oh, no.
What am I going to do?
Image: Well,
that's a no-brainer.
Janet: I don't have
the money!
Image: You don't need
the money.
You're going to kill Sophie.
Dead women don't shop.
David: Why the hell did
you get Palmer involved in this?
Erica: David, your welfare,
maybe even your life,
is at risk.
David: I specifically asked
you not to get involved.
Erica: Look, if you're
waiting for an apology this
evening, maybe we should just
finish the evening now.
David: I know what I'm doing
with Alex.
Why can't you just accept that?
Erica: I went to Palmer
because I care about you.
Why can't you accept that?
Vanessa: You know, Erica uses
any excuse at all to get you all
to herself, and any excuse
will do.
Palmer: That was legitimate
hospital business.
Vanessa: Oh, yes.
The fracas at the Crystal Ball.
That's very curious, isn't it?
Palmer: Well, whatever
the reason behind that incident,
I -- I'm absolutely certain that
David despises sharing
the directorship with Alex.
Vanessa: David never learned
to share.
Even as a toddler, he was
an expert taker.
Thank God for my younger son who
understands the wisdom
of listening to his mother.
Leo: Hello, Mother.
Vanessa: Hmm.
Leo: Palmer.
Vanessa: Hello, darling.
You know, I swear half the women
in this room swooned when
they saw you walking in.
Can you join us?
Leo: Oh, there's nothing
I'd like better, Mother,
but I have plans.
Vanessa: Oh!
Leo: I have to go change.
Vanessa: Well, what,
you're going off somewhere
with that darling Greenlee?
Where are you going?
Leo: The soup kitchen.
Vanessa: Oh, my son,
the bon vivant, really knows
every new club in town.
I've never heard of this one,
though.
Where is it?
Leo: Actually, it's a real
soup kitchen.
Becca convinced me to give
charity a whirl.
Vanessa: You haven't dropped
Greenlee, have you ?
Leo: No.
It's just a dare.
Vanessa: You're joking.
Leo: Afraid not.
[Vanessa laughs]
Leo: What do you think I wear
to a place like that?
She mentioned a hair net.
Vanessa: Oh, come on,
sweetheart.
Palmer will be very happy
to write you out a check.
I mean, you give it to Becca,
send her on her way.
Wouldn't you, darling?
Leo: No can do.
Vanessa: You might catch
something there.
Leo: Mother, I can take care
of myself.
I mean, I am my mother's son,
aren't I?
Vanessa: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Leo: I'll see you soon.
Vanessa: Mm-hmm.
Edmund: You know,
maybe you blocked it out.
Maybe somebody --
somebody hurt you, you know?
When somebody does that, you --
it can be pretty harrowing,
you know, to be a kid and be
terrorized by an adult, not have
any power to stop it.
Alex: What happened?
Edmund: I had a stepfather,
and he was a bitter man,
and he took out his
disappointment on me.
Alex: Oh, yeah.
Eugenia told me about that.
Oh, that must have been awful.
Edmund: Well, I got a few
scars, but I know what they are.
And I've come to terms
with them, and I just want
to give you the same chance
for peace.
Alex: That's nice.
Edmund: So, any men?
Alex: What?
Edmund: Any men?
You know, somebody in
your family --
uncles,
people that your parents might
have known named Geoffrey?
Alex: Maybe.
Oh, I don't want to talk about
this anymore.
Let's just leave it alone.
Edmund: All right, I will,
on one condition --
you trust me enough to not shut
me out if you get upset.
Alex: Yeah.
I'm not upset.
Edmund: Oh, no --
"I'm not upset."
You got that stiff upper lip,
and your back is, like,
arching just a wee.
Alex: Very observant,
aren't you?
Edmund: That's my job.
Alex: Hmm.
Edmund: There's one more
thing --
the promise that I made Dimitri
to take care of you --
let me keep it.
'
Trevor: There he is.
Amanda: Thanks for helping
out.
Mateo: Oh, hey, no problem.
Trevor: Yeah.
We really appreciate it.
Mateo: My pleasure.
Do you need anything else?
Trevor: Um -- no.
Just four dozen cups.
That'll do it.
Mateo: Oh, four dozen?
That's it, huh?
Trevor: That's it.
Mateo: Be right back.
Trevor: Thanks.
Sweetheart, if you're worried
about being late, don't.
I know a shortcut.
Amanda: Last time you said
that, we really got lost, daddy.
Trevor: Oh. Thanks.
Amanda: Are you and mommy
fighting?
Trevor: What makes you say
that?
Amanda: When I came home,
I could only hear you
from the sidewalk.
Trevor: Well, honey,
sometimes things get serious.
I mean, I get loud.
I don't get mad.
Amanda: You sounded mad.
And Mom has been acting really
weird lately.
Trevor: How do you mean?
Amanda: She's been acting all
clingy.
And she needs to know where I am
every second.
And she stares at me like I'm
going to melt if she turns away.
Trevor: Well, that's what
moms do.
They want you to feel safe
and happy all the time.
So do dads.
Sweetheart, no matter what
happens, this family is a rock
for you, ok?
Hey, look!
Mateo: As ordered.
Trevor: Whoa!
Chips, pretzels.
Mateo: Yeah, yeah.
Trevor: Thank you.
Mateo: I have some pull
with the owner.
You know what I'm saying?
Amanda: You're the best.
Mateo: Have a good time,
all right?
Trevor: Come on,
honey, we got to run.
Thanks.
Mateo: See you.
Janet: This can't be
happening.
Image: Stop feeling sorry
for yourself.
You got things to do.
Sophie may not be the brightest
bulb, but she does have sharp
survival instincts.
You need a plan.
Hayley: Janet?
You ok?
Janet: Sure.
I'm fine.
You going out?
Hayley: Yeah.
I was going to put in some time
at the station, and then I'm
going to head over
to S.O.S. To hear this new band.
You want to come for a girls'
night out?
Janet: No.
I think I'll just enjoy having
the house to myself tonight.
Hayley: Yeah? You know, your husband's worried
about you.
Do you need someone to talk to?
You need some company?
I'll stay put.
Janet: No, no.
I'll be fine.
I -- he's just being
overprotective, that's all.
Hayley: Look, he told me that
your mom's been bothering you,
and I know how freaked out
you can get.
Believe me, your mom and my mom
come from the same street
in hell, and if my mom was
harassing me, I'd be totally
bouncing off the walls.
Janet: No.
It's not that bad.
Hayley: You sure?
Why don't I stay here?
I could screen calls for you,
whatever you need.
Janet: Well, that's really
sweet, but I -- I'm going
to take a long, hot soak.
Maybe do a salt rub,
a mask, manicure, the whole
thing -- you know, the works.
Hayley: All right.
Be very good to yourself.
I won't be late.
Ok?
Oop!
Nearly forgot my new little
gadget.
Good night.
Janet: Night.
Image: Very slick.
Long, hot soak with the works?
Only Sophie's the one getting
the works.
Janet: There's got to be
another way.
Image: Flash forward.
You do nothing tonight,
a year from now, daddy-daughter
night will be missing
two participants, Trevor
and Amanda.
It'll be all your fault.
I heard what Trevor said --
"the best is yet to come."
But only if you do what must be
done.
If you do nothing, you might
as well kill him yourself!
Janet: Ok.
Ok! You win!
I'll do it!
Image: We both win.
You'll see.
Janet: I have to.
I have no choice.
What can I say.
Even when it comes to himself,
Mateo: Hey.
You guys need anything else?
Alex: Oh, no.
Margaritas and good company --
everything.
Mateo: All right, all right.
Oh, hey, hey.
We got a hot band coming
tonight.
Why don't you stick around?
It'll be worth it.
Hayley booked them about a few
months ago.
She's coming by tonight.
All right?
Edmund: All right.
Well, thanks.
Maybe a few more of these.
You up for it?
Alex: Yeah.
On one condition, though.
Edmund: What?
Alex: Dance with me.
Edmund: Now?
Alex: Now.
Singer: In the corner
of a darkened room
beneath the influence
of your perfume
there is nothing
that I wouldn't do
let me keep you up
all through the night
Nadine
there's something in your eyes
I can't describe
Nadine
I'm not giving up
until you're mine
Singers: Yeah, yeah, yeah
ooh, yeah, man
Singer: Put you here
I'll put you there
Singers: Ooh, yeah, man
Singer: I want to
put you everywhere
Singers: Ooh, yeah, man
Singer: You're so beautiful
I swear
Singers: Ooh, yeah, man
Singer: Hey
Singers: Ooh, yeah, man
David: I'm touched that
you're concerned for my welfare.
But I prefer to take care
of myself.
Erica: But I want to help.
David: And I love you for it.
But you have to let me handle
Alex my way.
Erica: But I --
David: Promise me.
Just promise me.
Erica: All right.
David: Thank you.
Now, tell me all about Gstaad.
I bet you're a black-diamond skier and Bianca isn't far
behind.
[Pager beeps]
David: Oh, damn.
It's Mr. Perlow's.
I have to get to the hospital.
I'll be back soon.
Erica: Ok.
[Telephone rings]
Erica: Hello?
Yes, hello.
Of course, yes.
I was hoping that I would hear
from you.
Have you found out anything
about Alex Devane?
What?
I don't believe it.
Oh, I couldn't have made up
anything better myself.
Yes, no wonder she was trying
so hard to keep this a secret.
Well, it's absolutely my duty
to expose this --
tonight.
Janet's voice: Meet me
at the warehouse on the east
side of town.
It's out on Hillspoint road.
You know the one?
Sophie's voice: Yes.
Janet's voice: Anyway,
come in the front entrance.
And I'll see you there
in an hour -- make it an hour
and a half.
Sophie's voice: Ok,
Janet, but you come alone.
You bring anyone with you within
spitting distance, you know
what'll happen.
Janet: Ok.
Sophie walks through the door.
She sees the light.
She walks towards it.
She trips the wire.
The bags fall,
and it's lights out for Sophie.
She'll never know what hit her.
