Stuart: Just tell me that
you didn't send that man,
that Paolo, to hurt my Marian.
Just say you didn't do it.
Adam: Stuart, you're
my brother.
You're my twin.
You're my better half.
I love you.
Stuart: That's what
you always say just before
you're about to say something
awful.
Adam: Stuart,
you remember when we were 10,
back in Pigeon Hollow?
That I jumped out of the loft
and broke my leg, and you felt
the pain, even though
you weren't there.
Stuart: What does that have
to do with Marian?
Adam: You feel my pain.
You know what's in my heart.
And I know how much you love
Marian.
To hurt her is to hurt you.
Why would I do that?
Stuart: That's what I want
to know.
Adam: Stuart, I don't blame
you for being suspicious of me.
I've pulled some pretty rotten
stunts in my day.
But I can't believe you'd
actually think I would arrange
to have Marian seduced
by a Chianti-swilling gigolo.
Stuart: Adam, I feel
your pain, and I also feel
your hate.
And I know you hate Marian --
ever since she locked
you in that safe room to keep
you from kidnapping Colby.
I know the -- I know the things
you said about her and the names
you called her.
And you can't deny it
because you meant every word.
Admit it --
you hate my wife.
Adam: All right,
all right, Marian is not
my favorite person, no.
Stuart: And I heard what
you said that day in the study
when you called her a slut.
And I told you right then that
if you ever hurt Marian that
we wouldn't be brothers anymore.
Adam: I'll always be
your brother, and I will always
love you.
Stuart: Then just tell me
the truth.
Tell me you didn't order
Leo du Pres to do your
dirty work, to send that creep
Paolo to -- to drug my wife
and maybe even rape her.
Answer me, Adam,
because I'll know if
you're lying.
Leo: Such a total lack
of inspiration.
Their idea of fusion cuisine is
French fries meet the New York
strip.
Unbelievable.
Becca: Come on, save
the critique till after school.
Give me your math homework.
Leo: Would you believe my dog
ate it?
Becca: You don't have a dog,
Leo.
Leo: I know, but it's
so high school.
My times tables are ready
for your inspeion, ma'am.
Becca: Thank you.
Ok.
Well, this looks like 100%.
How did you do this?
Leo: Your superior teaching
skills and my native
intelligence, of course.
Becca: Mm-hmm.
Hand it over.
Leo what?
Becca: The calculator
you used.
Cheater.
Leo: Well --
but calculators are a fact
of life, Becca.
Becca: You have got a great
mind, and it's a shame you're
not using .
Leo: Yeah, well, when I'm
in Oslo accepting the Nobel
Peace Prize for mathematics --
Becca: You're going to wake
up and realize that you're
dreaming if you don't start
applying yourself.
Leo: Six times six is 36.
Becca: Thank you.
Leo: Six times seven is --
am I way past having a crush
on my teacher?
Becca: You are a slow
learner.
This is strictly tutorial.
It's not a pickup.
Leo: What do you expect?
I'm a red-blooded schoolboy.
Becca: So go clap my erasers.
What's six times seven?
Look at the answers.
Ok, good.
We have to do all of them.
Is that enough for you?
Try that.
Ok?
Erica: May I have a word
with you, Becca, in private?
Becca: Oh, well,
we're in the middle something --
Erica: This won't take long.
Leo: Excuse me, ladies.
I'm going to go have a little
chat with the chef about
upscaling this disgusting menu.
Becca: You seem upset,
Ms. Kane.
Is it about the Glamorama?
Erica: No, it's about
your luncheon companion,
Leo du Pres.
If you're smart, you'll have
nothing more to do with him
.
Edmund: Alex is brainwashed?
Adrian: Well, that is my take
on what you've told me.
Edmund: Whoo.
Wow.
That's incredible.
Adrian: Look, you keep
pressing her to recall
her memory, right ?
Edmund: Right.
Adrian: What happens when
you press too hard?
Edmund: She repeats that same
phrase like a trigger.
Adrian: Mm-hmm.
"Just want to get on
with my life."
Edmund: Right, right,
and then it's like a switch just
going off in her brain.
Adrian: Exactly,
like a circuit breaker.
Skate too close to the forbidden
zone -- bingo -- the phrase
kicks in, the brain puts up
a roadblock.
It's a classic reprogramming
technique.
Edmund: So what you're saying
is somebody --
or some organization
or government --
has programmed Alex
to forget her past?
Adrian: That's what it looks
like.
Edmund: We got to find out
who and why.
Adrian: Wait a minute.
Edmund, you definitely need
to understand -- I mean,
we're dealing with unknowns
here, the X-factor.
Whoever planted that trigger
doesn't want Alex to remember.
I mean, a sudden recall could
threaten their lives and,
even worse, maybe hers.
Edmund: So, what are
you saying, her life's
in danger?
Adrian: I wouldn't rule it
out.
Guy: Alex, did you hear me?
Alex: Yeah.
You said, "I can see you just
want to get on with your life."
Guy: Correct.
What's your response?
Alex: Who the hell are you?
Guy: Alex, Alex, I'm Guy,
your trainer.
Alex: What did you say to me?
Guy: Say what?
Alex: About getting
on with my life.
Guy: Well, if I was being
presumptuous --
Alex: Why did you use those
words in particular?
Guy: It's a common cliché.
Alex: Why did you say that
to me now?
Who sent you?
Guy: Alex, you have
my resume.
You know who I worked for.
Alex: Oh, don't play me
for a fool.
Guy: Alex, I work with horses
and their owners, and I've
gotten so that I can read them
both pretty well.
I was by Maximillian's empty
stall this morning.
Alex: That was my
husband's -- was my late
husband's horse.
Guy: I know.
You were riding him one
afternoon.
He threw you and broke a leg.
Mr. Grey had to put him down.
Peggy told me.
I also know that relations
between you and Mr. Grey have
been strained?
Alex: Well, there were other
reasons for that.
Guy: I know, but it seems
like you and Mr. Grey have
buried your differences.
And so, the way I see it,
you were just getting
with your life.
If I'm being presumptuous,
I apologize.
I won't -- I won't say it again.
All right?
Alex: No, it's ok.
I'm sorry.
I --
it's a very odd coincidence that
you should say that.
Guy: Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen, you want to walk Scorpio
around the paddock some?
I didn't get much of a chance
to work him, what, with
the Russian lady getting sick
and all.
Alex: Oh, I have to check up
on her.
Yeah, I'll -- I'll work
with Maximillian later.
Guy: You mean Scorpio.
Alex: What?
Guy: You said Maximillian.
Alex: I meant Scorpio.
Guy: If you need me, I'll be
in the tack room.
Edmund: What do we do now?
Adrian: That depends on Alex.
How deep is she wiling to dig?
And is she going to be able
to deal with what she uncovers?
Edmund: I don't know.
They put so many layers
on her brain.
I think deep down she is strong
and she wants this mystery
resolved.
Adrian: Ok, then stick
with it but be careful
because someone doesn't want
you disturbing the peace.
Edmund: You be available
if I need backup?
Adrian: You know where
to reach me.
Edmund: All right.
And everything we said today?
Adrian: Strictly between us.
Edmund: Appreciate
your input.
Adrian: Anytime.
Opal: Oh, hey, fellas.
Edmund: Hi.
I was just on my way out.
Opal: Oh, was it something
I said?
Edmund: Nothing at all.
Thanks again.
Adrian: You got it.
Opal: Give my love
to your babies.
Adrian: Well, have you had
lunch yet?
Opal: Well, I'm meeting
Erica.
Adrian: Well, have a seat
just for a second.
Opal: It has been quite
a stretch, hasn't it --
Adrian: Yes, it has.
Opal: Since you and me have
had a chance to catch up.
Adrian: Yeah.
As a matter of fact, I got
a little new assignment that may
give you a few laughs.
Opal: Oh, good.
I could use a laugh.
You've heard about Tad?
Adrian: Oh.
Guess that's enough talking
about me.
Opal: Oh, I'm sorry,
honey, but this whole mess has
really got me shedding
my feathers.
Adrian: Well, you might want
to save that for someone who
cares.
Tad and I had a falling out.
Opal: Well, you'd better fall
right back in, mister.
Your brother is sharing
a jail cell with Adam Chandler.
Erica: I can see you're
attracted to Leo.
Becca: I'm sorry?
Erica: I could see the sparks
fly between you across the room.
But I've also seen you
with Scott Chandler, and he is
so much more attractive.
So much more attractive.
He's a future Spielberg.
Becca: Scott's an amazing
talent.
Erica: Look, I don't really
want to interfere, but I have
had some experience with men.
Becca: Well, I mean,
Scott and I are still seeing
each other.
I'm just helping Leo
with a problem.
Erica: Well, Leo's problem is
that he was raised by a shrew,
so you would do very well
to keep your distance.
Becca: Well, Ms. Kane --
I appreciate you being so,
you know, worried about
my personal life and all,
but I prefer to make up my own
opinion about people.
Erica: Where Leo is
concerned, that attitude is just
completely naive and dangerous.
Becca: Well, you don't know
Leo the way I do.
Erica: I know Leo very well.
Becca: Well, maybe
your opinion about Leo is
affected by David.
I know that he's not Leo's
biggest fan.
Erica: We are not discussing
David.
But if you're smart,
Becca, really, you will just
steer clear of Leo du Pres.
He's trouble.
He's exactly like his mother.
They're both just shameless
opportunists.
And if you're not careful,
Leo will use you and he'll just
toss you aside.
Leo: I thought I told
you to get out of town.
Paolo: I told you I need
airfare.
30,000 miles at, what, a buck
a mile.
Leo: You know that I don't
have it.
Paolo: All right.
I'll just go hit up your good
pal Adam Chandler for the cash.
Leo: Don't even think about
it.
Fine.
Want to get rich quick?
Buy yourself a lottery ticket --
in another town, in another
state.
Paolo: Ok.
Maybe I'll go ask your pretty
girlfriend in there what numbers
to play.
Leo: I mean it, Paolo.
Get the hell out of
Pine Valley -- today.
Adam: All right, Stuart.
Honestly, I'm hardly aware
of this Leo du Pres except
for his unfortunate connection
with Palmer Cortlandt.
Stuart: You never even talked
to him?
Adam: Never!
Never.
Not -- well, no, wait.
No.
All right, there was one time
he approached me in
the Valley Inn restaurant
and asked me for a job.
Sent by Palmer, no doubt.
The last thing I need is
a corporate spy on my payroll.
Stuart: And what about that
Paolo, that creep who drugged
my Marian and took off
her clothes and put
her in his bed?
Adam: He should be hung up
by his thumbs.
Marian and I have our
differences, but what that man
did is unforgivable.
Which brings me right back
to what I was saying.
You need my protection, Stuart.
Stuart: All I need
from you is the truth.
Adam: All right.
The truth?
You've got it, right here,
right from the heart.
You are the mo honest,
trusting man on the planet.
And if it were a perfect world,
Stuart, everyone would be
exactly like you.
But this is not a perfect world.
It's full of greedy swine who
would like to scam you
into furthering their own
agendas.
Stuart: Why Marian?
Adam: Marian --
her exploits are well-known.
So is our family wealth
well-known.
They obviously set up your wife
for a blackmail.
Stuart: But there was
no blackmail.
There was no note, no nothing.
Adam: He's obviously biding
his time, waiting for the right
moment to strike.
That's why I have to get out
of here -- so I can protect
you and Marian.
You can't fight the Paolos
of this world, but I can.
Stuart, you remember back --
back in Pigeon Hollow?
You remember the bullies used
to draw a line in the dirt
and dare you to cross it?
And we would grab hands,
and we'd cross it together.
We've always been on the same
side.
We've always been fighting
the same fight.
I would never cross that line
without you.
And I did not cross it this
time.
I am not responsible for what
happened to Marian.
You have to believe me.
Please, Stuart, you have
to believe me.
Alex: Yes, please let me know
if there's any change.
Thank you, doctor.
Yeah, you can page me.
All right.
Edmund: Hospital?
Alex: Yes.
Eugenia's friend is doing well.
She's stable.
Edmund: Thanks to you.
You saved her life, you know.
Alex: The digitalis saved
her life.
Edmund: Hmm, well,
maybe, but you knew where
the pills were -- in Irena's
purse -- and only you knew how
to speak Russian that well.
Alex: I picked up a phrase
here or there.
Edmund: You spoke like
the daughter of the Czar.
Alex: Well, maybe that's who
I am -- Anastasia.
She lost her memory, didn't she?
That must be why I can speak
fluent Russian.
Edmund: Alex, I know this is
scary stuff.
Alex: Oh, please, just stop
it.
I don't remember learning
Russian.
Edmund: Maybe because
somebody doesn't want
you to remember.
Alex, your memory's a link
to your past, and it's a time
of your life that somebody wants
you to forget.
Alex: Who?
What are you talking about?
Edmund: I'm talking about
people who have --
for whatever reason,
have reprogrammed your memory.
Alex: What?
Edmund: Alex, I'm talking
about being brainwashed.
Erica: Opal, I expect to be
the center of attention when I'm
out in public.
I'm a celebrity, for heaven's
sakes.
But David was making such
an ugly scene.
I mean, the whole restaurant was
looking at us.
I have never been so embarrassed
in my life.
Opal: Oh, yeah, Palmer
and me, we did a few of those
public go-arounds.
I remember once pummeling
the old so-and-so with a basket
of bad rolls.
I guess love makes you do crazy
things.
Erica: Love?
Who said anything about love?
Opal: But it sure makes me
miss those good old days
with Liz and Dick when they'd be
duking it out in front
of Chases, you know?
And then you'd see there picture
in the paper the next day,
sporting a rock bigger than
the Ritz, and you'd know that
they'd kanoodled and made up.
Erica: Opal, we're talking
about me, about my problems.
Now, where was I?
Opal: Dr. David causing
a scene in public.
Erica: He just was
impossible, and he said such
hateful things.
Opal: Yeah, like what,
for example?
Erica: Well, for one thing,
he accuses me of being afraid
of the future, that I don't want
to make any commitment to him.
And who is it who put his name
in my phone book in ink?
Now, if that doesn't show some
commitment to the future,
I don't know what does.
What?
What is wrong?
What?
Opal: That might be
a question you could put
to yourself, honey.
Erica: Opal, I was talking
to you about David and me,
about the dilemma that
he created.
Opal: Girlfriend, you know
that my feelings for David
Hayward run colder than
the Alaska pipeline.
But seeing as how you have put
his name in ink into your own
personal phone book, then it
seems pretty clear to me that
the next step is marriage.
And so now you've got to ask
yourself the question -- are
you ready to take it, or you going to cut and run?
Becca: Who does she think
she is?
Leo: She's Erica Kane.
Haven't you heard?
Becca: Well --
Leo: This is her world.
We just live in it.
Becca: I barely know
the woman.
She comes, interrupts us,
dismisses you, and then offers
her opinion about something that
is none of her business.
Leo: Yeah, well,
Erica's opinion of me ranks
among pond scum and sewer rats.
She didn't scare you off,
did she?
Becca: Do I look scared?
Leo: Well, you haven't
slapped me in the face or made
up an excuse to cut, so I guess
that's a point in my favor,
yeah.
Becca: Well, actually, I do
have to go.
Leo: Becca,
what did Erica say about me?
Becca: Nothing.
Nothing.
I don't want to talk about it
now.
I promised Opal that I would go
to the Glamorama and fold
towels.
Leo: Opal's over there
with Erica.
And we haven't finished my math
homework yet.
Come on, just a few more
minutes.
Becca: All right.
All right, I'll stay.
Why don't we go back to
seven times eight.
Stuart: Adam, you can twist
the truth so it looks like
a pretzel.
But there's just so much
at stake, I have to believe you.
Adam: Thank you, Stuart.
Stuart: As long as you swear
that you didn't set out to hurt
Marian,
then I have to believe you.
I'll take your word for it
because you're my brother
and you -- you're right,
you always took care of me,
and you always saved me
from the bullies and the kids
that teased me, and you always
knew what was best -- always.
Then you know that Marian is
what's best for me.
She loves me as much as you do,
Adam.
You wouldn't want to take that
away from me, would you?
Adam: No.
No, never.
Stuart: If you ever look me
in the eye and lie to me,
then you won't be my brother
anymore.
Adam: Stuart, I swore
on our mother's grave that
I would protect you forever.
And I swear to you that I had
nothing to do with what happened
to Marian.
Stuart: Thank you.
Adam: I love you, Stuart.
Stuart: I love you, too.
Stuart: Well, I'd better go.
Adam: Guard?
Adam: See you later.
Stuart: Good-bye, Adam.
[Telephone rings]
Leo: Leo du Pres.
Adam: It's me, your worst
nightmare come true.
Leo: Yes, sir.
I've been expecting this
phone call.
Adam: Shut up and listen.
Stuart's beginning to suspect
that I'm involved with
you and your sleazy compatriot
Paolo -- if that's his real
name.
Leo: Yep, our foreign
investors appreciate
your business, sir.
Adam: You link me to this
bedroom farce, and you're
finished.
Capisce?
Your life won't be worth a cold
plate of linguini.
Leo: Ok.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed,
all righty?
Adam: See that it is.
Stuart means a great deal to me.
I need him in my life.
Tad: Got to hand it to you.
Just when I think you can't go
any lower, you limbo down
another notch.
Adam: What are you
staring at?
Tad: Relax, Adam.
You're not my type.
Adam: That makes me feel
better.
I'll sleep very well now.
Tad: Can't believe you can
sleep at all.
So, who was on the phone?
Adam: Are you going to start
monitoring my calls?
Tad: No. Just curious.
Heard you talking about Stuart,
how you need him in your life.
You sounded pathetic,
almost desperate.
Adam: Thick and thin,
Stuart's always stood by me.
Tad: Yeah, and you count
on that, don't you?
After you finish screwing people
over, you can just call
on your better half to bail
you out.
Hell, you need Stuart to testify
against me.
Without him, it's just your word
against mine.
After all the mischief you've
been into lately, we all know
how that's going to turn out.
I'll be long gone by the time
you're setting up house
with some guy named Bubba.
Adam: Stuart and I have
One thing in common --
with us, family always comes
first.
Tad: That's rich,
coming from you.
Did you put him first when
you traumatized Cindy
or when you stole Gloria
from him?
When you humiliated Marian
in front of an entire convention
of ex-lovers, was that an act
of brotherly love?
Adam: Mind your own business.
Tad: Stuart's more than
your better half.
He's the last piece of a soul
you've got.
But you're right about one
thing.
He's a good man, the best.
But he's not a saint.
Even his forgiveness has limits.
I mean, only a fool would go
on giving you the benefit
of the doubt.
And you'd never play
your brother for a fool,
would you, Adam?
Adam: Shut up.
Tad: If I were you,
I wouldn't count on Stuart
rallying to your cause.
He's getting to know you.
And take it from me, old man --
to know you is to hate you.
Erica: Opal, I never said
anything about marriage.
Opal: Well, I know you, hon.
I mean, you meet a guy, you fall
head over heels, and the next
thing I know I'm lobbing rice
while you head off for
your honeymoon with hubby --
well, what would David
make, numero eight, nine?
What?
Erica: Opal, the subject
of marriage has never come up.
Opal: Well, it will.
And my guess is it'll be sooner
instead of later.
Because, let's face it,
girlfriend, when all is said
and done, I mean, you're
the marrying type.
Erica: And what if I don't
consider David to be marriage
material?
Opal: Well, I would flap
my arms like a chicken and yell
"glory, hallelujah."
That's what.
And then I'd call Lacey's
wedding registry and order up
another toaster.
Erica: You don't believe me?
Opal: Honey, I want
to believe you.
I think Dr. Dave is a mighty
poor choice for a life partner,
love.
Not to mention the fact that
he's about a quart low
on the milk of human kindness.
Erica: Well, you just don't
know him the way I do.
Opal: I'm sure that he has
his good points, and I know that
you'll romanticize them out
of all proportion.
"David is the perfect man.
David is the perfect lover."
And you will picture yourself
basking in the
happily-ever-after glow.
And then one morning you're
bound to wake up and discover
that Mr. Perfect has just turned
into Mr. Ordinary guy.
You know, leaves the toilet seat
up, socks on the floor,
makes scenes in public, and even
on certain occasions chooses
to go to bed with Ted Koppel
instead of you.
And there you are --
your afterglow sizzle starts
to fizzle, and, tough luck,
Cinderella, because you're
already hitched to the guy.
Erica: I don't want
to discuss this.
Opal: Well, you're the one
that opened the can of peas.
Erica: Well, I don't have
to sit here and listen
to you analyze me.
Opal: Erica --
Erica, you remember when
your face was scarred
and you got so mad at me for not
telling you the truth?
Well, I learned my lesson,
and I will not make that mistake
twice.
I don't have to be bitten
by a snake to know it's poison,
and that's what Hayward is.
He is poison with a capital P.
Alex: So Adrian thinks
someone intentionally blocked
my memories.
Ok, who?
Edmund: I don't know.
But we're going to find out,
and that's why you have to force
the sanitarium in Wales
to release your medical records.
Alex: Yeah, I was going to do
that.
Something stopped me.
I can't call.
Jack: Hi.
Alex: Hi.
Jack: Peggy let me in.
Edmund: Yeah --
Jack: I hope I'm not
interrupting anything.
Edmund: Jack, what's up?
Jack: Actually, I'm here
to see Alex.
You phoned my office saying
you wanted some help petitioning
for your medical records,
but then you hung up.
Alex: Something came up.
Jack: I see.
Did you still want my help?
Alex: No.
Jack: Ok.
Edmund: Do it, Alex.
We're here to help.
Alex: Once a door's been
opened --
it's the not knowing that's
so terrifying.
Wow.
This is the path my life is
taking.
Ok, you have my full permission
to take whatever legal action is
necessary to get back my medical
records.
Jack: All right.
I'll need -- I'll need
a starting place.
Alex: Oh, yeah.
This is the name of the hospital
in Wales and the doctor who
treated me.
He's deceased now, though.
Edmund: The files are sealed
by her majesty's secret service.
Jack: Well, then I guess I've
got my work cut out for me.
Do you have any idea what's
so sensitive in these files?
Alex: No.
I'm afraid to find out, really.
Erica: Honestly, Opal.
David and I haven't even gotten
anywhere near the altar,
and you already have us
divorced.
Opal: Well, I mean,
let's face it, hon.
I mean, considering the number
of exes you've already got
racked up on your tally board,
I'm just playing the odds.
Erica: Well, look who's
talking, Miss Opal Gardner Purdy
Cortlandt.
Look at the losers you married.
Ray Gardner was a card-carrying
sociopath.
Opal: Yeah, but you don't see
defending him and the way
he treated me and my kids,
do you?
Erica: What about that
Mr. Ulatowski -- your secret
admirer who tried to kill Palmer
and blame it on you?
Oh, if that wasn't love, I don't
know what was.
Opal: Can I help it if I just
make men crazy jealous?
Erica: Which brings us
to the real coup de grace.
Palmer Cortlandt was the best
thing that ever happened to you,
but you let him get away.
Opal: I let him get away?
What, after he locked me up
in a secret cell in the basement
and left me there to turn
to dust?
Erica: If you had been
a better wife, if you had shown
a little more compassion
to Palmer, then maybe you two
would still be together
and Vanessa Bennett would be
history instead of his present
wife.
Opal: Oh, I see, I see.
I see what this is all about.
Yeah, exactly.
You are just -- I'm sorry
if your boyfriend's mama is
making your life miserable,
but you know something?
I am free as a bird and never
been happier, so there.
Erica: Oh, oh, isn't this
just so typical.
You're always just thinking
of yourself.
Opal: Myself?
Myself?
You know, I think you better
pull out that compact and get
a good gander at your own worst
enemy.
You know, I love you, Erica.
Lord knows I love you.
But ever since you let David
Hayward into your life, you have
done your damnedest to push
your real friends away.
Well, this is me leaving.
Leo: Oh, Mr. Chandler.
Stuart.
Liza's at a business luncheon.
She won't be back for a few
hours.
Stuart: I didn't come to see
Liza.
I came --
came to talk to you.
Leo: Me?
About what?
Stuart: I'm not like
my brother Adam.
I don't -- I don't try to trap
people with words.
I -- I just want to get
things -- everything out
in the open.
Leo: Ok.
Stuart: I want you to tell me
the truth, Mr. du Pres.
Leo: No, no.
Please, call me Leo.
Stuart: No, I think I'll call
you Mr. du Pres.
And you call me Mr. Chandler.
Because we're not friends,
and I don't think we're ever
going to be friends.
Leo: And why would that be,
Mr. Chandler?
Stuart: Because you're
friends with a very bad man
named Paolo Caselli.
Do you know what he did
to my wife?
Leo: He -- he lured
her into his hotel room.
Stuart: And then what?
Leo: He drugged her.
Stuart: And then what?
Leo: He --
he took off her clothes and --
ahem -- he put her to bed.
Stuart: And then what?
Leo: Nothing.
Nothing else happened,
Mr. Chandler, I swear.
Paolo never touched your wife
after he got her into the bed.
I swear.
Stuart: Why?
Why did he do that?
Leo: He was paid a lot
of money.
Stuart: Who paid him?
Who paid him to hurt my wife?
Edmund: What you drinking
there, partner?
I'm proud of you, for at it's
worth.
Alex: Thanks.
Edmund: You did the right
thing.
Alex: Yeah.
Well, I was up against the wall,
wasn't I?
I had to choose.
Edmund: Well, you're not
going to be alone on this one,
you know.
I'm going to be with you every
step of the way until we figure
out who's short-circuited that
little memory of yours and why.
Alex: It would seem that
I have enemies, people out there
who want to do me harm.
But I wonder if I'm my own worst
enemy and I'm set to
self-destruct.
Tad: The idea of you talking
about brotherly love is like
so much stink floating downwind
from a city dump.
Real brothers back each
other up.
You don't know the first thing
about that.
You just want to keep Stuart
where you can use him.
You know what the real
tragedy is?
He still looks up to you.
You don't deserve that, do you,
Adam?
That kind of love or trust.
You know it, and I know it.
Soon enough, he's going to know
it, too.
And when he does, you're going
to lose him.
Yeah.
You're going to lose the best
part of yourself.
Adam's voice: If you link me
to that bedroom farce,
you're finished.
Capisce?
Leo: Your wife, the setup --
it was --
it was all about money,
blackmail, gambling debts,
somebody that I owed a lot
of money to in Europe.
They forced me to do it.
It was payback.
But I swear to you,
Mr. Chandler, that it is over.
But if I reveal the source, my life is snuffed.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Stuart: Ok.
But you better be careful.
That Paolo is a bad man.
He's --
you better stay away from him.
Leo: I plan to.
Stuart: Because he's
going to end up in jail
before some other innocent woman
gets hurt.
Erica: Oh, waiter -- check,
please.
Opal just doesn't know what
she's talking about.
Erica: Oh, what's taking him
so long?
Paolo: Miss Kane?
You are more beautiful
in person -- much more beautiful
than your photographs.
Erica: And your name is?
Paolo: It's Paolo.
On the next
"All My Children"
Greenlee: I found the perfect
match -- for you.
Arlene: You strike me
as a different kind of man
that's not threatened by a woman
that knows what she wants.
Dixie: You knew that Adam was
Colby's biological father.
You knew for a long time.
