Dixie: Oh.
David: Hey.
Dixie: Hi.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to barge in.
I just dropped Junior off
at camp, and Tad isn't home,
so I thought I'd get
a jump-start on tomorrow
and drop off some of my stuff,
if that's ok.
David: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Dixie: I'm just going to sit
this here for a second, ok?
David: Sure.
Dixie: Hold on. Wait.
David: You don't have a moving truck backed up out
there, do you?
Dixie: No, I don't.
I just feel more confident
having some of my things around
me, you know.
David: Uh-huh.
Dixie: So where's my desk?
David: Oh, yeah.
Well, that would be outside.
Right outside the door.
Dixie: Oh.
Ok.
I can see you've put a lot
of thought into that.
David: I would have,
but I've been very swamped.
Dixie: Hmm.
That's ok.
That's no problem.
You know, can I use your phone
for a second?
I just want to call Tad and see
if he got home.
David: Sure. No problem.
Just dial nine for an outside
line.
Dixie: Oh, thanks.
David: So I guess you two are
going to be out celebrating tonight, huh?
Dixie: Celebrating for --
oh, the kids.
The kids went away to camp
and -- that's right -- and we
have the house to ourselves,
yes.
David: No, I meant Tad's new
appointment.
Certainly that calls for a nice
bottle of champagne.
Dixie: Wait, what calls
for a bottle of champagne?
David: Didn't he tell you?
Dixie: Tell me what?
David: Well, it's been all
over the news.
There was a huge press
conference.
Tad and Liza announced that
they're going to be running
Chandler Enterprises together.
Tad: All I can say,
Madeline, is wait till
accounting gets a load of what
I got for them.
Yeah, all the way from Chatham
to Pine Valley.
I owe you one. Thanks.
Oh, you're right.
I guess a CEO's work is never
done.
You just hold down the fort
there, ok?
Say hi to alike.
Bye.
Ok. Bye-bye.
Tad's voice: I don't know
about you, baby, but I say
we finessed the whole lot
of them.
Liza: Oh, my gosh, we came,
we saw, we kicked some major
butt.
Tad: Figuratively speaking.
Baby, congratulations.
You are definitely swimming
with the big boys.
Liza: Oh, let me tell
you something, you were awesome.
Tad: No.
Liza: Your presentation --
Tad: No, no.
Liza: You did not drop
the ball once!
Tad: Wait, wait.
Liza: So amazing.
Tad: Well, Thaddeus,
I guess all I can say is
some are born to greatness,
others just sort of slide
right in.
Joe: If only I had a camera.
Tad: Hey, Pop.
Alex's voice: My name is
Anna Devane.
I began my career as a double
agent for the D.V.X.
My specialty was setting
and defusing explosives.
Alex: My specialty was
explosives.
Charlotte's voice:
You mustn't listen to Edmund.
He doesn't know what's best
for you and he can't be trusted.
It's time to utilize
your training.
It's time to get on
with your life.
Alex: I have a mission.
>
Edmund: Alex.
Alex: Ow.
Oh.
Edmund: Let me see.
You all right?
Alex: No, it's nothing.
Edmund: Let me see.
Alex: It's nothing.
Edmund: You're bleeding.
Alex: I'm a doctor.
I can do this.
Edmund: Fine, let me wrap it.
Alex: Please.
Edmund: Would you just quit
being so stubborn?
Let me look at it. Come on.
Alex: No.
Edmund: Oh, baby.
Ok, there.
Alex?
Look at me.
Don't shut me out.
Do you know that I love you?
Do you know I'll always
love you,
no matter what you break,
forever and ever?
Adrian: Hey, Dimitri.
How you feeling?
Dimitri: Feeling fine,
except for sweating like hell
in this cap and coat.
So, did you get in touch
with Charlotte?
Adrian: Yeah.
I told her I was interested
in joining her organization.
Dimitri: Did she bite?
Adrian: She said she'd be
in touch.
Dimitri: Oh, great.
I wish there was more
I could do.
I just can't take a chance
on being seen.
Adrian: There is, actually.
Dimitri: What?
Adrian: I left a laptop
at the Wildwind tack room.
I need you to go there and get
on the Internet.
Get into the system at General
Hospital.
I need to dig up Anna Devane's
medical records -- blood type,
anything you can find.
Dimitri: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
To see if Anna Devane's matches
Alex's?
Adrian: Yeah.
Dimitri: That's excellent,
excellent.
I'll take care of it right away.
Adrian: Listen, I --
I think Edmund is right.
I think you should tell Alex you're alive.
Dimitri: Adrian, do not go
there.
Adrian: Come on, Dimitri.
You want to be more involved,
right?
You can't do that if you're
a ghost.
Don't move.
We got company.
Gillian just arrived.
She's at your 11:00.
Dimitri: Keep her occupied
while I get out of here.
Adrian: I will.
Dimitri: Just shake
your head no.
Adrian: Hey, Gillian.
Gillian: Hey, Adrian.
Thought I'd have the beach all
to myself.
Who was that man you were just
talking to?
Adrian: Oh, that guy?
Just somebody I met
at the shelter.
Pretty sad story.
So what are you doing here?
Gillian: Oh, well, you know,
it's such a beautiful night.
I thought I'd breathe the air,
feel the breeze.
Adrian: Hmm.
Adrian: Well, enjoy
your solitude.
Gillian: Thanks.
Bye.
Ryan and Gillian: What are
you doing here?
Gillian: Ok, you first.
Ryan: Well, it was just such
a beautiful night, and since
I couldn't spend it with you,
I thought I'd come here and,
you know, just --
Gillian: Look at
the moonlight on the water?
Dream of a time when we can tell
the whole world how we feel?
Adrian thinks we're horrible.
Ryan: Yeah, well, he just
doesn't understand, does he?
He's very loyal to the Martin
family.
I mean, him and Jake are kind
of family.
Hey, listen, you want me
to leave you here alone?
I mean, you were here first.
Joe: So, how's the view
from the top?
Tad: Oh, it's pretty
spectacular.
Joe: You're front-page news.
Tad: I know. Literally.
It's quite a kick in the head.
"Former talk show host declares
end of business as usual
at Chandler Enterprises."
Joe: I never would've
imagined you'd be in a place
like this.
Tad: Yeah, wasn't exactly
on the top of my to-do list,
you know -- become a mogul
by lunchtime.
Joe: So what made you take
it on?
Tad: I --
I guess it all came down
to Stuart.
Joe: You're still not blaming
yourself for his death?
Tad: Whether or not
I'm responsible,
I just feel the need to redeem
myself.
Joe: You don't need to redeem
yourself.
Tad: Yes, I do.
Two night ago, after Liza
offered me the position,
I just couldn't stop thinking
about all the amazing things
that I can do with these kind
of resources at my disposal.
Joe: Well, you know,
Chandler Enterprises has always
been about profits.
Tad: Oh, but that's
because Chandler Enterprises was
always run by Adam Chandler.
Think about it.
I don't need his name on a check
anymore.
Think about what I can do
for the hospital, for
the university, for arts
programs now that I'm the one
sitting in this seat.
Joe: Well, I can't imagine
a better way for you to honor
Stuart.
Tad: I want you to be proud
of me, too.
Joe: Oh, Tad, I am proud
of you.
Your mother's proud of you.
You certainly don't need
a private jet for that.
Tad: I know, I know,
but I want you to be proud
of my accomplishments just
for once.
Dad, I want to take all
of the principles that
you struggled to teach me
and apply them on the biggest
scale imaginable.
Joe: I don't think I've ever
seen you more excited about
a project.
Tad: Dad, that's why
I'm doing this -- because
I promised myself that I would
at least try to make some kind
of a difference .
Joe: I'm sure you will make
a difference.
Just make sure you don't forget
what's most important --
the promises you made
to your wife.
Edmund: Come here.
Just one there.
Hold still.
And there.
And all of a sudden, you are --
Alex: All better.
Edmund: Good as new.
Alex?
Alex: Hmm?
Charlotte's voice: I know
your potential, and I will
reawaken you, Anna.
Alex's voice: I don't
understand.
Charlotte's voice: Do what
I say and it will all become
clear to you.
Go to the hospital today,
wait for me, and say nothing
about these thoughts to Edmund.
Nothing.
Edmund: There's that look
again.
Seems like everything I say
either sets you off or confuses
you.
Alex: I'm not confused.
Edmund: Ok.
That was the wrong word.
But you haven't been the same
since your mother came to visit.
Alex: You leave my mother out
of this.
She just wants me to --
Edmund: To what?
Tell me.
Alex: She just wants me to --
to be happy.
Edmund: Ok.
That's what I want, too --
for us to be happy.
All right?
Alex, I know you.
Believe me, I know who you are.
Alex: You don't know
who I am.
I don't even know who I am.
Edmund: Ok, ok.
Forget about your name right
now, ok?
Forget about your name,
forget about what happened
in the present.
Just know that we're going
to get the answers, ok?
We're going to get all
the answers, I promise you.
I just want you to do one thing
for me, ok?
I just want you to tell me how
you feel right now with me.
Alex: I feel safe
and loved.
Edmund: You are loved.
And I'm going to make sure
you're safe.
Alex: Oh, I'm sorry that
I'm so touchy.
I didn't sleep all night.
I had all these awful dreams.
I just need --
Edmund: What do you need?
Alex: I need --
I need coffee.
I need a double espresso is what
I need.
Edmund: Double espresso
coming up.
Alex: I'm nearly finished
here.
Why don't you come back to my
office and we can talk.
Edmund: All right.
I'll be back faster than you can
say mochaccino, vente con skim
whipped, half-half.
Alex: I'm not losing my mind.
Edmund loves me and I love him.
David: Well, I'm sorry,
Dixie.
I just assumed that Tad would've
given you the news.
I didn't mean to rattle you.
Dixie: No, I'm --
I'm just surprised.
Maybe.
When Tad told me about this
opportunity before,
he seemed determined not to take
it, so --
David: You didn't want him
to take the position?
Dixie: I don't tell Tad how
to run his life.
He told me about the job
and I voiced my concerns,
I shared them with him.
But, you know, it was always
his decision to make.
David: And you're ok
with this?
Dixie: I'm fine. I'm fine.
Of course I am.
We have an adult relationship.
David: Hmm.
Dixie: So,
I'll see you tomorrow, right?
David: Sure.
Dixie: Ok.
Bye.
Take care of my plant, ok?
Don't kill it.
David: I'll try not to.
Dixie: Thanks.
David: Yes?
Charlotte: Dr. Hayward?
David: Yes?
Charlotte: I'm Charlotte
Devane, Alexandra's mother.
David: Oh, yes, of course.
I've heard a lot about you.
Charlotte: And I, you.
I'm supped to meet my daughter
here.
Do you know where she is?
David: Well, I can't be
for certain, but I think
she may be down at the lab.
Just follow the corridor
straight down through the double
doors and to your right.
Charlotte: Thank you.
I'm sure we'll speak again.
Charlotte: Alexandra's
in the laboratory.
Yes, I'll bring her outside
and you be ready to move
in quickly.
Alex: Oh, I thought we said
we'd meet back in my office.
I'm nicely done.
Charlotte: We did.
Dr. Hayward told me I might find
you here.
Are you ready?
Alex: For what?
Charlotte: The cinema.
Oh, I've been looking forward
to this all day.
Alex: Oh, I don't remember.
Did we say we'd go to
the movies?
Charlotte: We talked about
the relative appeal
of Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe
at great length.
We agreed it would help
you to forget all your problems.
Alex: Is it ok?
I don't feel up to it tonight.
Charlotte: Of course,
darling.
You're entitled after all you've
been through.
I just want to help you get
on with your life.
Alex: What?
Charlotte: Remember what
we spoke about?
You're on a mission, Alexandra.
Alex: I have this terrible
headache.
I need to go home, I think.
Charlotte: Of course.
Whatever you want.
I'll take you home.
Come with me.
Gillian: What was that?
Did you hear that?
Ryan: No.
Gillian: Oh.
Ryan: Hey, it's ok.
I love being with you.
It feels so right when we're
together.
Gillian: I know.
Why do I feel so guilty?
Ryan: Well, you won't
once you talk to Jake.
Gillian: Ryan, how am I going
to ask him for the divorce?
Ryan: Oh.
Just tell him that you made
a mistake.
Tell him that I made a mistake,
a horrible mistake by letting
you go.
Gillian: I just wish I didn't
have to hurt anyone.
Ryan: I know.
Me, too.
But we both know that protecting
other people isn't going to get
us anywhere.
And I have been apart from you
for far too long.
And I'm never going to let it
happen again.
Tad: I haven't forgotten
the promises I made to Dixie.
Dixie could've demanded that
I turn down this job and I would
have.
I would have passed on it.
But she didn't.
She left it up to me.
Joe: You're taking
on an enormous responsibility.
I hope you both realize that.
Tad: We do.
Dad, Dixie trusts me.
She believes in me.
Joe: That's good
because you're going to need
her support.
Tad: I know that.
Look, I'm not going to screw
this up.
Dixie means the world to me.
She's my life.
That's precisely why I've got
to accomplish something.
I want to make her as proud
of me as I am of her.
Dixie: Well, that should be
easy because I already am.
Joe: Well, I -- I think maybe
I'll be on my way.
I promised your mom I'd pick up
some groceries on the way home.
Tad: Yeah, I'll bet.
Thanks for checking up on me,
Pop.
Joe: Good luck, Son.
Dixie: Night, Joe.
Joe: Night, Dixie.
Tad: Surprise!
Guess what -- I kind of took
the job at Chandler Enterprises.
Dixie: I heard.
Tad: All right. Ok.
All kidding aside, I apologize.
I tried to get in touch
with you -- I really did --
and I couldn't, ok?
And I really thought about
everything that you said.
Dixie: I know you did, Tad.
Tad: I really, really thought
about it.
I took it to heart.
I know how badly I went
overboard trying to get even
with Adam, and that's why
I can't forgive myself for what
happened to Stuart.
But I at least have a chance
to right some of my wrongs
if I'm sitting in this office.
Dixie: Ok.
Tad: Which is --
I just want to say this
to you because I never want
you to have a moment's doubt,
because hurting you was
the biggest mistake I ever made
in my entire life.
And I swear to you,
what happened between me
and Liza is never going
to happen again.
Dixie: Well, it better not.
I hope what we have between us
is more special and more
important than anything
or anyone.
Tad: It is.
It is, sweetie.
You are the world to me.
You and the boys are everything
that means anything to me.
As a matter of fact, that's why
if I start to get carried away
with this, you have
my permission to remind me that
it's only for a couple
of months.
Dixie: Even if you're
in the middle of a big,
important board meeting?
Tad: Even if.
Get the hook, yank me out.
Dixie: I just hope it all
works out the way you picture
it, Tad.
I really do.
Ok?
Edmund: Hello, David.
Alex back yet?
David: Haven't seen her.
Edmund: Hmm.
She told me to meet her here.
David: Well, maybe she got
held up by her mother.
Edmund: What are you talking
about?
David: Her mother was here
looking for her.
Edmund: Charlotte?
Where did she go?
David: I told her that
she might find her at the lab.
Charlotte: It'll be like
old times when you were
at school.
How you used to love coming
to the country,
catch your breath again
without all those pressures.
Remember how peaceful it made
you feel?
Well, you're going to feel like
that again.
I promise you.
Edmund: Take your hands off
her, now!
Charlotte: What are
you doing, Edmund?
Alex: I feel tired.
Mother was taking me home.
Edmund: I will take her home.
Charlotte: This is a side
of you that I haven't seen
before.
You're becoming very possessive.
Edmund: Why did you come here
to the hospital?
Charlotte: We had agreed
to go to the cinema.
But when Alexandra said
she wasn't feeling well --
Edmund: I will take her home.
Charlotte: Edmund, I came all
the way from England to be
with my daughter.
Are you going to begrudge me
a little time with her alone?
Alex: She's really worried
about me.
Edmund: There's nothing
to worry about as long
as I'm with you.
And I am not leaving.
Charlotte: Well, then there's
nothing more to talk about,
is there?
I'll see you both at home.
Charlotte: Meet me
in the tack room at Wildwind
immediately.
Alex: She seemed really
upset.
I think I should go.
Edmund: Honey, look at me,
look at me.
I need you to pay attention
to what I'm saying.
I need you to focus on me.
Alex: Why are you behaving
like this?
Edmund: I didn't want to tell
you this, I swear to you,
but you have to know the truth.
Alex: About what?
Edmund: Alex, you are still
in grave danger.
Alex: From whom?
Edmund: From the people who
stole your mind, who stole
your life.
They're closer than we imagined.
Alex: What, they're here?
Edmund: Yeah, they're here.
They're here and they want
to reclaim you.
And you have to know what you're
up against.
Alex: Well, tell me.
Edmund: Listen to me --
it's your mother.
Your mother is the head
of the organization.
Alex: What?
My mother?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Edmund: I'm not ridiculous.
I know what it sounds like.
But I swear to you on the lives
of my children.
Alex: Why are you doing this?
Edmund: Alex, look at me.
You know that I love you.
And I swear to you,
why on God's earth would I be
telling you this to hurt
you if it weren't true?
Dimitri: All right,
there it is.
General Hospital,
Port Charles, New York.
Now, let's see if I can access
the records department.
Dixie: So, this is the grand
corporate throne room, huh?
Tad: Yep.
I don't want to brag.
It's kind of impressive,
isn't it?
Huh? Huh?
Dixie: [Southern accent]
I just can't believe that Tad,
the great tycoon, sits right
here in this fine Corinthian
leather chair -- and barks
his orders right into this very
old phone.
Tad: Mine, mine, mine, mine.
All mine.
Daddy love foggy,
foggy love Daddy.
Actually, it's half mine.
Hey, just for a kick, you want
to see me devalue
the Deutsche Mark?
Dixie: [Normal voice]
You can do that?
Tad: I can certainly try.
All it takes is one phone call.
You know what they say about
power, don't you?
Dixie: It goes right
to your head?
Tad: That, too.
But I was talking about it being
the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Dixie: Oh.
Tad: Hmm.
Dixie: Hmm.
Tad: Care to, uh,
test the theory?
Dixie: Come to Mama, you big,
powerful CEO
Tad: Oh, all right.
Come here, come here, come here.
Excellent, excellent.
Dixie: Oh, you're fitting me
into schedule?
Tad: Got you. Come here.
Yes, yes.
Dixie: No, stop!
Pam: Oh, oh, goodness.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Martin.
Tad: Oh, no --
Pam: I had no idea that --
Tad: No, Pam, Pam,
Pam, it's my wife.
Seriously, this is my wife.
It's ok. Don't worry.
Pam: Oh, Mrs. Martin.
Please excuse me.
Dixie: Yes.
That was embarrassing.
Tad: Excellent.
Excellent.
Care to take this somewhere more
private?
Dixie: Yes, perhaps
we should.
Tad: Yes, I think we should.
As I was saying, mine,
mine, mine.
Mine, mine, mine.
All mine. Mine.
Ryan: Know what my dream is?
Gillian: You mean this
wasn't it?
Ryan: All right, you know
what my --
I guess, my fantasy is?
Gillian: What?
Ryan: To be walking
on the street with you,
holding hands, waving to people
we know.
Stop and buy you a rose and give
you a kiss in broad daylight.
Gillian: No more hiding,
no more pretending.
Ryan: No more guilt.
Gillian: Do you think that'll
ever happen, Ryan?
Ryan: I know it'll happen,
Princess.
It's going to happen real soon.
Ryan: You know,
as much as we hate sneaking
around like this, someday
we might look back on it
and kind of find it exciting.
Gillian: Exciting?
Ryan: Yeah, you know,
sneaking kisses,
forbidden love .
Gillian: It doesn't turn
me on.
Ryan: Not even just a tiny,
little bit?
Gillian: No.
No, I want to tell the whole
world how much I love you,
that I never stopped loving you.
But I have to tell Jake first,
and I will.
Ryan: Well, I respect
your bravery.
Gillian: It's not bravery,
Ryan.
It's just that at least he needs
to hear it from my mouth.
Ryan: Hmm.
Your mouth.
Gillian: Hmm.
[Car door closes]
Gillian: What is that?
Ryan: What? What?
Gillian: That's a car.
Go hide, hide.
Dixie: Oh, Tad, look
at the moon.
Look.
Tad: Well.
It's obviously not as secluded
as we thought it would be.
Dixie: Gillian, hey,
what's going on?
What are you doing here?
Gillian: Uh --
wow, what are you guys doing
here?
I didn't expect to see anybody
here.
Tad: Ditto.
I didn't see your car
in the parking lot.
Gillian: Oh, it's
because I parked it down
the road.
Dixie: So what are you doing
here?
Oh.
Are you -- are you sitting here
thinking about Jake?
Gillian: You caught me.
Dixie: Oh, honey,
I'm so sorry.
You must miss him so much.
Gillian: You know what?
Don't worry about me.
You guys enjoy the beach.
Dixie: Oh, you know,
a woman shouldn't be out here
all by herself.
You know, anybody could walk by.
Gillian: Oh, Dixie,
no, I'll be fine.
Dixie: No, it's late.
Don't be silly.
Gillian: No, I don't want
to spoil your evening, really.
Tad: No, no, we insist.
Come on, we'll get plenty
of moonlight walking you back
to your car.
Dixie: Yeah, come on.
We don't want you to be alone.
Edmund: Believe me,
Alex, I would give anything
to change things.
But you are in grave danger
and you need to face certain
facts.
Alex: What precisely are
these facts?
Edmund: Ok.
Here we go.
Your mother
is the head of a powerful
anarchist organization that was
based in Bryn Wydd.
You were brought there
by her and trained for some
covert mission.
Alex: Ah.
Ok.
My mother's a terrorist.
And Eugenia --
what is she, a serial killer?
Edmund: I'm not kidding,
Alex.
It's the truth.
Everything that has happened
to you is because of
your mother.
Alex: Prove it.
Edmund: I can't. I don't have any documents.
But I swear to you,
the person that told me --
I trust him with my life.
Alex: Well, who is it?
Who told you this about
my mother?
Was it Adrian?
Edmund: No, listen, I know --
I know how this sounds,
but I need you to trust me.
Alex: How can I when what
you're saying is completely
untrue?
Edmund: Alex, listen to me,
a year ago if I had told
you that you spoke fluent
Russian and you could take down
a gunman with your bare hands,
what would you say?
Would you believe that? No!
It doesn't seem possible,
but it's true.
David: Alex,
are you all right?
What's going on?
Dimitri: Let's see if this
will get me into the records.
[Telephone rings]
Dimitri: Yeah?
Adrian: It's Adrian.
Where are you?
Dimitri: In the tack room.
Adrian: All right,
listen, Charlotte's on her way
over there.
She'll be there any second,
so get out of there right now.
Dimitri: Right.
Gillian: Ryan.
Ryan: Hey.
You came back.
Gillian: I had to.
Ryan: Where are Tad
and Dixie?
Gillian: Oh, they --
they walked me to my car.
And then I pretended to drive
off, but I made a U-turn over
the bridge and I came back.
Ryan: I wasn't sure if you'd
be able to sneak back,
but I waited here just in case.
Gillian: I have to tell
you something.
Ryan: What?
What is it?
Gillian: I think Tad is
suspicious.
All the way to the car,
he kept looking at me funny.
Ryan: What do you mean?
What did he say?
Gillian: Nothing, but it was
like he didn't believe that
I was here by myself.
Ryan: Well, he didn't see me.
I'm sure he didn't see me.
Are you sure you're not,
you know, just imagining this?
Gillian: No.
No.
He definitely thinks that
something's going on.
Ryan: Well, then we're just
going to have to be more
careful.
Gillian: Ryan, see,
it's really dangerous
because Adrian already knows
about us and I'm not sure that
he's going to keep it a secret,
and I'm positive that tad won't
keep it a secret -- not after
everything that happened
with Colby.
Ryan: No.
Tad will definitely not keep it
a secret.
Gillian: No, no, he'd be
on the first plane over
to Chechnya to tell Jake
himself.
Ryan: So,
what are you saying?
Gillian: We have to stop
seeing each other.
Ryan: What?
No.
Gillian: Ryan, I know,
I know, but we don't have
a choice here.
It's dangerous.
And if Jake finds out,
you know, after everything he's
been through --
Ryan: I know, but not to see
each other at all?
Gillian, how am I going to --
how am I going to handle that?
Gillian: I don't know,
but we have to try.
Ryan: Well, we'll be more
careful.
We'll see each other a little
less often.
Give me something, here,
Princess, come on.
Gillian: Ryan, no, it is
dangerous.
I have to ask Jake for a divorce
first.
Ryan: Is this what you want?
Gillian: No.
No, it's not what I want,
but we have no choice.
We have to do this for now
Edmund: David, this is
a family matter.
It doesn't concern you.
David: Alex, you sure you're
all right?
Alex: No, I'm fine.
It's a private conversation,
if you don't mind.
David: Well, it's obvious
the two of you are involved
in something pretty serious.
If you would like my assistance
in any way, I'd be more --
Edmund: I will ask you,
I promise you.
Thank you.
David: Fine.
Actually, Edmund, I'd like
to know why you used my name
and told Alex that it was urgent
for her to report to
the hospital.
Well, I guess we can discuss
that at another time.
Edmund: He's right.
I lied to you to get you out
of the house because I thought
your mom was going to abduct
you.
Listen, I don't know what she's
doing to you, but I think she's
controlling your brain
by hypnosis or autosuggestion.
Alex: My mother, hypnotize--
what? How can you say that?
Edmund: Because she is not
the woman you think she is.
Alex, please, I need
you to trust me.
Alex: Do you know what
you're asking of me?
Edmund: Yes.
And I don't know how to convince
you and I don't have time
to try.
Alex, I think --
I think she wants to abduct
you again.
Alex: How can I believe any
of this?
Edmund: Just listen
to your heart.
Alex, I love you.
I swear to you, I'm begging you,
please, listen to what
I'm saying
and give me a chance
to prove it.
Please?
You have to.
Adrian: You wanted to see me?
Charlotte: Mr. Sword,
you're prompt.
That's a quality I admire.
Adrian: So have you
considered my offer?
Charlotte: A man
of your training and skills
we could definitely use.
Adrian: Good.
When do I start?
Charlotte: Not so fast,
Mr. Sword.
First, you must pass a test.
Adrian: A test?
I'm sure you've examined
my records with the ENCY.
What more can I prove?
Charlotte: Well,
your accomplishments as a field
operative are quite impressive,
but I must insist.
Think of it as an initiation.
Adrian: Ok.
Charlotte: Oh, nothing
to worry about.
I mean, it's a trifling matter,
really.
But just to establish
your allegiance.
Adrian: What is it?
Charlotte: I want you to kill
Edmund Grey.
ON THE NEXT - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Adrian: I just want
you to know how much I care
about you.
Marilyn: I'm calling about
Stuart.
Marian: What did you say?
Adrian: Dimitri?
Edmund: You going somewhere?
Charlotte: Indeed.
And Alexandra's going with me.
