Erica: Oh, it's clear that
you would say anything
to discredit David.
But to accuse him of rape --
of raping Gillian?
I mean, this is just
unimaginable.
Alex: No, I didn't say
he raped her.
But he did use her as
if she were a hooker.
That's why I object to him
operating on her.
Erica: So here Gillian is
ready to have an operation,
and you're using her
as a battlefield in
your vendetta?
Alex: No.
Gillian's recovery is my only
priority.
Erica: Oh, I'm sorry.
If that were case, we would not
be having this conversation.
Alex: This is pointless.
Erica: This is also about
Dimitri's legacy, isn't it?
You don't want David to head
the Andrassy foundation, so now
you're accusing him of --
of forcing Gillian to have sex
for money.
This is just -- what are
you trying to do, ruin him
completely?
Alex: You know, you should
talk to David.
Erica: Yes, I will.
I'll recommend that he sue
you for libel.
Alex: All right.
Gillian told me that she was
briefly involved with David.
I don't whether you knew that.
Anyway, so after the affair was
over, she found her way back
to Ryan.
Now, at some point, Ryan was
desperate for money, so Gillian
went to David to ask for a loan.
And apparently he asked
her to earn it in his bed.
Erica: That's a lie.
Alex: He took away
her dignity, Erica.
And quite frankly,
that's exactly what he does
to any woman unfortunate enough
to be involved with him.
David: Is this
a private discussion?
Hayley: You were there at the
accident site.
You saw Gillian on the ground,
and you saw Ryan trapped
in the car.
Mateo: Yeah.
Hayley: I didn't want
to believe it.
Mateo: Believe what,
that I was capable of doing
something like that when it came
to Ryan?
Hayley: I suppose,
under the circumstances,
anyone would be.
Mateo: But you weren't sure,
right?
You know what?
Neither was I.
Hayley: You know,
if someone had run up to me
and said, "You'll never believe
what Mateo did," I --
Mateo: You couldn't say it,
could you?
You know, you've been telling me
this whole time that you had
no idea who I was anymore.
And when I saw Ryan in that car,
I didn't know who I was,
either, really.
I --
there was only thing I really
did know, one thing that was,
well, that was clear to me
from the start, was --
is that I love you.
Tad: Well, how nice
to see you.
Listen, let me ask you
a question, ok?
Don't you find it ironic that
on a day like today when all
hell is, you know, breaking lose
that a hotshot media executive
like yourself, a veritable star
in the world of instant
communication, should be
so damned hard to reach?
Liza: Tad, can you just put
it in a memo and I'll deal
with it later?
Tad: No. Deal with it now.
I'm sick and tired of memos,
and I think I deserve better
than "later."
Liza: You know, I have
this migraine that's starting
to fill my entire body.
Why don't you just give it
a rest.
Tad: I cannot believe you are
acting like this.
You know, if you want to crawl
into bed with a guy like Duffy
Duffield and his little band
of hatchet monkeys, you go right
ahead.
But please do me a favor --
have the decency to tell me
to my face.
Don't send somebody like Leslie
Coulson to do it for you.
Liza: What did Leslie Coulson
say to you that should have come
from me?
Tad: Well, gee, how about,
"Sorry, Tad, you're fired."
Marian: You're kidnapping
my granddaughter?
Adam: Marian --
why are you lurking?
If you have no business here,
would you please --
Marian: You would steal
her child?
Are you out of your mind, Adam?
Adam: You misunderstood.
Marian: I understood
perfectly.
You just told your pilot to fuel
up the jet for you and
your daughter.
Adam: For Hayley.
My daughter Hayley.
She's had a terrible time
recently.
I thought a little getting-away
time would be good for her,
maybe an impromptu dinner
in Paris.
Marian: That would be
a believable lie, Adam,
but I know you were referring
to your other biological
daughter, Colby.
Adam: Jake and Liza have made
it quite clear where I stand
with Colby.
As much as I love her,
I am merely a stander.
Marian: Very humble of you,
darling.
But Liza told me what you did --
breeding her like a horse in one
of your stables.
Adam: This is none
of your concern.
Marian: I will not have
you jeopardize the happiness
or well-being of either
of my girls, so listen to me.
I'm going to tell Liza exactly
what you were discussing
with your lawyer, and then I'm
going to call the police.
Adam: Since when is
a man's love for his child
a criminal offense?
Marian: When he threatens
to kidnap that child.
And by the way, Adam, when this
all comes to light,
no judge, no matter how big
the bribe, will ever allow
you to see Colby again.
You got that one?
Oh! Adam!
Are you out of your mind?
Adam: We're at a little
impasse, Marian.
Marian: Will you let me --
Adam: You're protecting
your child, and I'm
protecting --
Marian: Adam --
Adam: Won't you step right
this way.
Marian: My, God.
Will you let me go.
Adam: Stop fighting.
Marian: Get your hands off
of me!
Do you hear me?
I said take you hands off of me,
Adam, right now!
Adam: Just relax.
Marian: Ow! Ow!
Adam: There you go.
I can't allow you to remain
on the loose, Marian.
Welcome to your new home.
[Adam drags Marian into his safe room]
Adam: Marian,
a life with Colby,
as her father,
is far more important to me than
you can possibly imagine.
I'm not going to allow
you to jeopardize it.
Marian: Wake up, Adam.
You've already lost her.
And consider yourself lucky that
Liza hasn't ripped your heart
right out of its chest.
Adam: Hearts can be mended.
Marian: Not hers.
She'll never forgive
you for what you did -- never.
Adam: This is a safe room,
Marian.
Unfortunately, men in
my position sometimes have
to defend themselves against
hostile situations,
even in their own homes.
Marian: Playrooms
for the paranoid, huh?
Adam: These monitors are
connected to all the nanny cams
throughout the house,
and there's audio so you can
hear what's being said.
Marian: Adam, this is going
too far, even for you.
Adam: There's plenty
of gourmet food, you have
a state-of-the-art bathroom,
and books to pass the time.
Marian: How long do
you intend on keeping me
in here?
Adam: In a perfect world?
Marian: And you're going
to kidnap Colby, right?
Adam: What I do is none
of your business.
Marian: Oh, real?
Well, I'm going to get out
of here if I have to claw my way
out with my fingernails,
you hear me?
Adam: That would be
a neat trick.
Marian: I've got a voice that
can shatter glass, Adam.
Adam: Yes, even in regular
conversation.
But these walls are soundproof.
A small army could fire off
a thousand rounds and not make
a dent.
Marian: People will come
looking for me, Adam,
once they know I'm missing.
And Stuart has a radar for me
just like a dolphin.
He'll find me.
Adam: No.
No one will ever think to look
for you here.
So say good-bye to the outside
world, Marian, because you are
going to be here as long as it
takes me to accomplish what
I have to do.
Liza: How could Leslie
Coulson fire you?
Tad: I don't know, Liza.
You tell me.
She paraded in here like she had
enough juice to do whatever
she damn well pleased.
Liza: Not with my station.
Tad: Well, it's not really
your station anymore,
is it, pal?
And that's why my corporate
credit card was canceled,
that's why half my staff is
missing,
and that's why they pulled
the plug on my show 30 seconds
before I went to tape
with Erica Kane, which is just
fine anyway because I really
didn't have anything to offer
the poor woman except a stale
doughnut and tap water.
I've never been so damned
embarrassed in my entire life.
And as far as I'm concerned,
you signed off on WRCW
the second you signed over.
Liza: Wait a second.
Datcom is a silent partner.
I have 40%.
Tad: No, not so silent.
You only got it half right.
You see, Leslie told me all
about your 40% and Datcom's 40%.
But you failed to think about
that little 20% share supposedly
held by friendly interests.
Liza: What about it?
Tad: Guess what, gorgeous?
You need to get yourself better
friends because whoever was
hanging on to that little tasty
piece of the pie is chewing
on a nice big dividend check
right about now.
Liza: Those shares were sold?
Tad: Yeah, you bet they were
sold.
And I don't have to tell
you there's a lot of people
in this studio that are out
of work, and it's not just me.
Congratulations.
Hope you enjoy your time off.
I got to go pack up my desk.
Liza: Oh, please don't leave.
Please.
Stuart?
It's Liza.
No, I'm not very good.
Have you sold some stock lately?
Barry came by --
Adam's attorney?
And cat food stock?
No, I know you don't like
to read the fine print.
No, just give my mother my love.
Adam.
Mateo: See?
Don't you understand that
despite everything we've been
through, my love for you is
still there and that's why I'm
fighting so hard not to lose it?
Hayley: Or trying to prove
that you don't need it?
Mateo: I regret that
Hayley: Do you remember
the first time we met?
Mateo: Yeah, of course I do.
Hayley: My world --
my world seemed so pointless
and so empty.
And then there you were,
like a promise of something that
I had long ago given up hoping
for.
Mateo: We both saved each
other that night, huh?
Hayley: I thought that
it would be like that forever.
I never dreamed that everything
would turn out so different.
Mateo: Meaning me?
Hayley: Can you honestly say
that you're the same man
you were when we met?
Mateo: No.
After Ryan, no.
I'm --
I'm a hard person.
Hayley: Tell me what happened
at the accident site.
Mateo: The car was totaled,
Gillian was on the ground,
the power lines were throwing
sparks everywhere, and I smelled
the gas leaking on the ground.
I pulled Gillian clear.
Then I looked in the car,
and I saw Ryan.
He was still there.
I mean, here's the person that
I blamed for ruining my life.
I mean, my whole life has gone
down the tubes because of him --
Hayley: Mateo --
Mateo: And I just want to go
back to a place -- I just want
to go back to a place where
my memories of you aren't
touched by him.
You understand?
Where you kissing him doesn't
play in my head all the time.
And I actually thought that,
you know, maybe I was halfway
there, I could change the future
because it's up to whether
he lives or dies.
Hayley: Oh, God.
Mateo: And all I could think
of was you
and my love for you.
Hayley: I don't want that,
Mateo.
Mateo: What are you talking
about?
Hayley: I don't ever want
anyone to love me so much that
they're willing to let someone
die.
Mateo: Let someone die?
You think I left him there?
Hayley: If it hadn't been
for the rescue workers
you could
you chose to do nothing.
You left him there.
David: Well, I've obviously
interrupted something.
Did you need something, doctor?
Alex: How's Gillian's status?
David: Still critical,
but stable.
We're prepping her for surgery.
Alex: Good.
I'm going to observe.
David: I'll teach you what
I can.
Alex: Whatever.
Erica.
Erica: David --
David: Just a moment.
Postpone all my appointments
until further notice.
I'll be in surgery.
Thank you.
I'll keep you informed, Erica.
I'm sure that you're anxious
to hear about Gillian's
progress.
Erica: David,
are you sure what you're doing
is ethical?
David: And why wouldn't
it be?
Erica: You're operating
on a former lover who despises
you.
Can you be trusted with
her life?
David: Gillian means no more
to me than any other patient.
Erica: I gather you
and Gillian were lovers.
And when it was over,
she came to you for financial
assistance and you gave
her the money that she wanted,
but not without exacting a very
heavy price.
David: Did Alex tell
you this?
Erica: Is it true
[telephone rings]
David: It's irritating.
Yes, Dr. Hayward here.
Put him on.
Just a moment.
I don't care how many surgical
cases are backed up right now.
I need an OR.
Now, get me one before you leave
or don't bother coming back
to this hospital.
Yes, that would mean that you're
off my team.
Yes, get in touch with
Joe Martin.
Tell him I need an OR. For
the Andrassy case.
And get me a new
anesthesiologist.
Erica: So are you going
to explain yourself or not?
Erica: Erica, I'm sorry
if the garbage that Alex is
spewing right now is not my main
concern.
Erica: Oh, excuse me.
I realize I'm not having
an operation, but I do deserve
an explanation.
David: Fine.
Gillian and I were involved
at one time, ok?
But it ended,
and that is all there is to it.
We saw each other again briefly.
We had -- we had
a physical encounter.
Erica: She came to
you for help, for money.
David: Oh, right.
I forgot the part where I forced
her to put out in exchange
for cash.
Erica: This isn't a joke.
David: No, it is a joke,
Erica.
Do you honestly think that I'm
the kind of man that needs
extort a woman for sex?
Erica: And if I ask Gillian?
David: Well, I wouldn't
expect to hear anything that's
going to make you feel happy.
Erica: Why not?
Why wouldn't she tell me
the same story?
David: Do you really think
she's going to tell you that
she used her sexuality to get
what she wanted, that
her actions made her feel like
a common tramp?
I'm sorry, Erica.
How Gillian feels about
her behavior is really not
my problem.
Excuse me.
Erica: That's all you have
say?
David: You're not going
to see me fall to my knees
begging your forgiveness
for things that happened before
you and I were even involved.
Erica: I can't say
what happened.
I don't know who to believe.
David: You know who I am,
Erica -- part saint,
part sinner,
and the most exciting man you've
ever known.
Mateo: Did Ryan tell
you I walked away from
the crash?
Hayley: He saw you turn
your back on him.
Mateo: Well, then he must be
right.
Hayley: I didn't want
to believe it.
Mateo: Really?
Hayley: Yes.
How could I ever possibly want
to believe that you were capable
of something like that?
Mateo: Kind of makes what
you're doing with Ryan a lot
easier, doesn't it?
If I'm the guy that's this
confused, crazy guy that
you barely got away from?
Hayley: I was not trying
to run away from you, Mateo.
I remember the person you once
were.
I just --
I just don see that person
anymore.
Mateo: Yeah, you don't,
do you?
I guess I was just a dream, huh?
Hayley: I never thought
you were.
Mateo: Why are you here?
Huh?
Why'd you come here?
To tell me what kind of lowlife
I am?
Is that what you want?
Hayley: I came here hoping
that maybe I --
Mateo: No, you weren't hoping
anything.
You're not hoping anything.
Obviously, what we had is
in the past.
It's gone.
You were my life, you know that?
You got what you came for.
Get out.
Get the hell out.
Go!
Liza: Adam's prints are all
over this.
And I thought he was being
so supportive, you know,
asking me to cut back and spend
time with my daughter.
Tad: And all the time he was
just trying to get even with me
for being a loving stepfather
to his son.
Apparently, you don't come
between Adam and his children
and live to tell about it.
Liza: Oh.
Oh, I would love to give him
just a taste of what he's been
giving me, have him choke on it.
Tad: Wow.
This is a switch.
I didn't think it was going
to be so easy to pull you down
to my level considering how
naive you've been lately.
Liza: He doesn't care
about the consequences
of his actions.
I can't believe that I was
stupid enough to think that
I was changing.
Tad: I don't want to tell you
I told you so, pal.
But the next time you try
to save somebody, just make sure
they want to be saved.
Liza: I want to make sure
that he engineered this
takeover.
I think we should do whatever it
takes.
Tad: I'm already working
on it,.
I promise you.
Liza: Yeah.
Tad: In the meantime,
I think you've been through
enough for one day, so do us
both a favor --
go home and take it easy.
Liza: I don't want
to see him.
Tad: I know, I know, sweetie.
So don't see him, all right?
Go home and hug my niece.
Focus on the good stuff.
Liza: Yeah.
I'll just look in her eyes.
Tad: I know all about that.
That's what Dixie said.
She tells me that we have
children to keep our hearts
in the right place.
Liza: Yeah.
Tad: It's too bad that never
worked for Adam.
And then again, I'm not sure
he ever gave it half a chance.
Liza: Well, I'm never going
to hope for that ever again.
Tad: I'm sorry.
Liza: Yeah. Me, too.
Me, too.
Adam: I'll check
in on you from time to time,
Marian.
Marian: Adam, you can't leave
me locked up like this in here.
Adam: Well, maybe next time
you'll learn to mind your own
bloody business.
This remote is the only way
in and only way out of this
room.
But have no fear.
You have a TV remote right
there.
Hasta la vista.
Marian: Adam, wait!
Oh, no, listen.
I might be in here for weeks,
Adam.
You can't expect me to wear
the same clothes day after day,
can you?
And I'm also really very
claustrophobic.
I already feel the walls closing
in on me here, Adam.
Are you sure there's enough air
to breathe in here?
Adam: I'm sure there's
everything you can possibly need
in here.
With all the money I spent
on this place, you should live
like a queen.
Marian: Please, Adam.
Let me out of here, please!
Adam: Marian -- no, no, no.
Marian: Please!
Oh, there's Liza in the study.
Liza, help!
I'm in here! Help!
Adam: Would you just shut up
your mouth?
Marian: Agh!
[Marian struggles with Adam, knees him "where it hurts" and grabs the remote]
Adam: Oh!
Marian: Agh!
[Marian escapes the safe room and locks Adam in]
Adam: You better cut
your losses, lady.
Don't even think about leaving
me in here.
Marian: Oh, how sweet it is.
Divine justice at last.
Adam: You're deluding
yourself.
I built this place.
How long do you think it's going
to take me to escape?
Marian: This remote is
the only way in and the only way
out, Adam.
Unless, of course, you were
lying about that, as well.
Adam: Well, maybe I was
and maybe I wasn't.
Are you willing to try me?
Marian: It's time somebody
did.
You know, I can't believe it,
that you have no remorse about
what you did.
You have no feelings at all
for Liza, do you?
Adam: I love her with all
of my heart, you twit.
Marian: You impregnated
her without her consent.
The mere idea of that makes me
sick.
Adam: All it proves was how
desperately I wanted to have
a child with Liza.
But you couldn't possibly
appreciate a love that profound.
Marian: Oh, please.
That's blasphemous coming
from you.
Adam Chandler against the world
and everybody in it, right?
Listen to me.
You had a gift when you had
Liza.
She could have helped
you with your fear and
your contempt.
But how did you handle that
gift?
You spit on it, just like you do
on everything else.
Adam: That's enough.
Marian: And that wasn't
enough for you, was it, Adam?
You had to cheat your own
brother out of his own WRCW
stocks so you could win
the station from Liza and fire
Tad.
You are despicable!
Adam: You keep Stuart in mind
because he's going to begin
to wonder where I am.
Marian: No one's going
to look for you in here.
Remember, no one knows about it.
It's ironic, isn't it, Adam?
You built this room to protect your family, and that's exactly
what this room is going to do.
It's going to protect them
from you.
Adam: Marian --
Marian --
I'm going to make it my mission
in life --
Marian: Bye, darling.
Adam: To make you regret --
Marian: Bye!
Oh, God.
That was the most exciting thing
I have ever done in
my entire life.
Yes!
Adrian: Hey, what are
you doing in here?
Tad: Take a look.
Sit down.
Adrian: Looks like
a stock deal.
Tad: No.
Terms of a stock deal
between a company called Datcom
and WRCW.
I need a favor.
How do you feel about a little
big-game hunting?
Adrian: Well, that depends.
You know I don't hunt for sport.
Tad: Well, how about moral
indignation, sticking it
to the bad guy, that kind
of thing?
Adrian: That depends.
Does this evil have a name?
Tad: Adam Chandler.
And wait till you hear what he's
done this time.
Hayley: Uncle Trev --
Trevor: Tink, Tink,
everything's ok.
Ryan's fine.
They just took him off for some
tests.
What are you upset about?
Hayley: Ryan was starting
to piece together what happened.
He was trapped in the car before
it blew.
Trevor: Yeah, but he got out.
I mean, you should be singing
hosannas about that, huh?
Hayley: Mateo was there.
Trevor: Yeah, lucky for Ryan.
Hayley: Mateo walked away.
Trevor: After the EMT. Guys
left, right?
Hayley: Mateo was there,
saw Ryan trapped in the car,
and left him there to die.
Trevor: Is that what Ryan
said?
Hayley: Ryan was drifting
in and out, and he started
murmuring things.
You know, he started with --
you know, he was saying,
"Mateo, help me, please."
And then he said, "Mateo,
come back."
And so I asked him.
You know, I was, like,
"Ryan, did Mateo leave
you there?"
And he shook -- you know,
he nodded his head, and I took
that to mean yes.
Trevor: You better be
absolutely certain about that.
Hayley: I went to Mateo.
Believe me, I was praying I had
this all wrong.
Trevor: And you were wrong.
Hayley: No, I was not.
Mateo left him there.
Trevor: Mateo admitted this?
Hayley: Mateo said that
he was standing there looking
at Ryan and that he knew he had
a choice to make.
Trevor: To walk away
from a guy who's pleading
for his life?
Not Mateo.
Hayley: He did it
because he loved me.
He just wanted a chance to make
things right between us again.
You know, like, if he just --
in his mind, if he just wiped
Ryan off the face of the earth,
then everything would be fine.
Trevor: Tink --
Hayley: You know, he just --
he wanted to give us a clean
slate, like, so things could be
the way they used to be -- just
him and me.
Trevor: What you're saying
is that Mateo's gone off
his rocker.
No way.
He's not going to leave some guy
to die.
Hayley: You know, Ryan may
have survived, but the Mateo
we know just doesn't exist
anymore.
Isabella: Mijo.
Mateo: Hey.
How you doing, Ma?
Isabella: Can I help you?
I won't carry the boxes,
but I can help you count them.
Mateo: No, I'm almost done.
Isabella: Mm-hmm.
You spoke with Father Tony?
Mateo: Yeah.
Did he fill you in?
Isabella: Oh, no, no.
That's between you two, Mateo.
Mateo: Yeah.
You know, I was --
I was holding a lot inside,
you know?
Isabella: I know.
Mateo: I was really angry
at Ryan.
Isabella: You blame him
for coming between you
and Hayley.
Mateo: Mom, I blame him,
I cursed him, I wanted him dead.
Isabella: I understand now
why you were angry.
Mateo: Yeah, that's just it.
I'm not angry anymore.
It's all get --
I don't --
I don't feel anything.
Nothing at all.
Erica: These games you play
with women, David, they don't
excite me.
David: Am I to atone
for my past, my present,
and presumably my future when it
comes to you, Erica?
This is who I am.
You have known that right
from the start, and obviously
you've enjoyed it.
Erica: I just don't see how
you can be one way with me
and something totally different
with the rest of the world.
David: I'm not.
I'm not.
I did not prostitute Gillian.
Why are you taking Alex's word
over mine?
Erica: It seems you took
advantage of Gillian.
David: Have I taken advantage
of you?
Erica: Not yet.
David: Look, Alex would like
nothing better than to defame me
professionally as well
as personally.
Erica: And why is that?
Did you do something
to her to make her hate
you so much?
Are you hiding something, David?
Alex: Excuse me.
The surgical team is ready
for you now, doctor.
Alex: And a suggestion --
you won't get the best out
of people by threatening them.
David: How I handle
my OR. Is none of your
business, doctor.
Alex: Well, actually,
it is because it involves
Gillian.
David: I was in the middle
of something here.
If you don't mind, I'll see
you in the OR.
Erica: No, please.
I'm leaving.
You two can scratch each other's
eyes out.
David: I don't appreciate
the story that you told Erica.
Alex: Hmm.
The truth can sometimes put
a damper on things.
David: Your version
of the truth.
Alex: Well, actually,
it's Gillian's version
of the truth.
I just happen to be
in a position to know she's
probably right.
David: The same Gillian who
can't speak for herself right
now.
Alex: Her story won't change
when she recovers.
David: Well, I guess that
depends on me, doesn't it?
Alex: Yeah.
And believe me, I'm going to be
watching your every move.
Isabella: Mateo,
what happened to you?
Mateo: Ryan got
in a car accident.
I was there.
I mean, he was trapped
in the car, and instead
of jumping in there to save him,
I froze.
Isabella : But you saved
his life.
Mateo: Yes. I did.
But for a moment there,
I thought I had a choice not to.
I didn't want to save him, Mom.
Isabella: But it's
because of you that he's alive
now.
Mateo: Yeah, I know,
but I stopped before I did
anything.
And, I don't know,
I think that's almost as bad
as leaving him there to die,
you know?
I just --
Isabella: Mateo, you know who
you are.
Don't ever doubt that.
Mateo: Yeah.
You know, Hayley thinks that
I left him there, that I was
going to leave him there to burn
in his car.
Isabella: No, no.
No, she loves you.
More than anyone else she knows
that you would never walk away
from someone who needs you.
Mateo: That's exactly what
she believes.
And it breaks my heart.
Trevor: Mateo would not walk
away from Ryan no matter what.
It really makes we wonder what
really went down at that
accident.
Hayley: What went down
is that Mateo lost his soul.
I mean, does it really need
to be any more horrible than
that?
Trevor: No -- it just needs
to be more accurate.
Hayley: I told you the story.
Trevor: That's what Ryan
said.
Ryan is going to remember what
Ryan wants to remember.
[Marian talks to one of Adam's video monitors as Adam watches from the safe room]
Marian: Hi, Adam.
Are you enjoying yourself,
darling?
Reading some of those great
books or having one of those
gourmet meals?
Maybe you're stretched out
watching reruns of
"I Love Lucy."
Oh, I'm sure you're having
a great time down there,
darling.
Liza: Mother, what are
you doing here?
Marian: I was wondering where
you were, darling.
Liza: I went to work.
I went to work. Only, do you know what?
It's not my work anymore.
It's not my station anymore.
I've been snookered again --
all of us have.
Marian: What are you talking
about, Liza?
Liza: I was stripped
of control of WRCW.
Marian: How is that possible?
Liza: Mother, you know,
I don't even want to tell
you this.
But Adam's lawyer talked Stuart
into selling his WRCW shares.
Marian: What?
Adam: Oh, damn!
Liza: Yes, what.
I can't believe he would be that
sloppy.
He must -- he used Barry.
He thinks we're idiots.
Marian: Isn't the first time
that Adam underestimated us --
Liza: Oh, boy, you don't have
to tell me that.
Adam: Oh, shut up!
Marian: He probably had much
weightier things on his mind
at the time, darling.
Liza: Yeah, like hiding
the fact that he's Colby's
father.
Marian: Listen, darling,
what's important right now is
that you are that dear sweet
little child's mother,
and you've got to stay strong
for her, Liza, ok?
You've got to.
Come here, darling.
Listen to me.
No matter what or how desperate
Adam becomes, I will never let
him hurt you or Colby again.
Do you hear me?
And that's a promise.
I love you, Liza.
David: If you're going
to take me on, Alex,
you'd better be up for
the challenge.
Alex: You know I am.
I'm watching you, David.
Now, come on.
You've got a surgery to perform.
David: Last one standing
wins, Alex.
Isabella: Mateo, you need
to speak with Hayley.
Mateo: There's nothing
to say.
Mom, I've tried everything
to work things out with her.
I gave her space because I was
hoping that she'd come back
to me.
And she didn't.
You know, sometimes you just
have to let go.
And I'm ready to do that now.
Hayley: Let me tell
you something.
Ryan is no liar.
Trevor: Tink, I'm not saying
that he's a liar.
I'm just saying his memories
about the accident might not be
accurate.
Hayley: Well, if Mateo didn't
walk away from him, then why
didn't he say something to me?
Trevor: I don't know.
I wasn't there.
Hayley: Well, I was there.
I'm going to go check on Gillian
and see how she's doing.
Excuse me.
Trevor: Say, could you do me
a favor?
Do you know where the
MT Guys are that brought
in Ryan Lavery and Gillian
Andrassy?
Nurse: I'll see if I can find
them.
Trevor: Yeah, that'd be
great.
I just need to talk to them.
Nurse: Ok.
Trevor: Story, story,
what's the story?
Adrian: So you think Datcom's
in Adam's back pocket?
Tad: I'm sure of it.
Just a little door prize
for being named stepfather
of the year.
Adrian: Yeah, well,
friend, that sounds great,
but need proof.
Tad: I think we'll find it
in Leslie cousin's briefcase.
She tried to hide something when
she was here handing out pink
slips earlier.
You want me to get some crayons?
What are you doing?
Adrian: Take a look.
Tad: Ok, you print like
a third-grader.
What's the point?
Adrian: I'm figuring it out.
I am figuring it out.
I'm figuring it out.
I'm figuring it out.
All right, yeah. Yeah.
Tad: What?
Adrian: Just wait.
Just wait.
I think Adam set up Datcom
to destroy you, my friend.
Tad: "Moc Tad."
"Datcom" spelled backwards.
Adrian: That's right.
Tad: Who knew Adam had
a sense of humor?
Adrian: Well, whatever is
in that briefcase, we got to get
our hands on it quickly.
Tad: I'm way ahead of you.
Let's go.
Adrian: Let's go, let's go.
Liza: Mother, I have to check
on Colby.
Have you seen Adam?
Marian: No.
He's probably keeping a low
profile around you.
Liza: Yeah, well, if I never
see him again, my life might
just turn out perfect.
Marian: Did you hear that,
Adam, hmm?
She said she'd love it
if you fell right off the face
of the earth.
Oh, and you may be wondering how
long I'm planning on keeping
you in there, darling.
Oh, just about as long as it
takes to do whatever I need
to do.
And I don't intend to hurry.
So enjoy your reading, darling.
