	FARMHOUSE

Hart kisses Dinah's ear to wake her up.  He asks how she slept.  Dinah 
responds, "Like a rock."  Hart, "Rocks don't snore."  Dinah says she 
doesn't snore and asks him what time it is.  Hart tells her it's late-- 
9 o'clock.  She thinks it's early.  Hart tells her that he and his 
grandfather would have done lots of work on the farm by 9.  Dinah, 
"Sounds like fun."  Hart, "No, this is fun."  He pulls her on top of him 
and kisses her.

	SPAULDING ENTERPRISES

A banker is delivering the cash and gold certificates ($10 million) to 
Alan.  Buzz thanks Alan, but Alan worries that Brent won't take the bait.

	LIGHTHOUSE

REALBrent (Hooray!) wakes up Lucy and AM.  He's planning to take a huge 
chunk out of the Spaulding fortune and the heir-apparent's life.  He 
boots up his computer while sitting on Lucy's bed.  (AM is still in the 
cage).  Lucy asks Brent what he's going to do with AM.  Brent doesn't 
have time to worry about "that chairman of the board wannabe" because 
he's having too much fun playing with AM's daddy.

	SPAULDING/LIGHTHOUSE

Alan gets a message from Brent that he will take the money and he wants to 
arrange a meeting to exchange the money for AM.  Alan tells Brent that 
the money is for Lucy as well as AM.

Brent tells Lucy that they want her too.  He writes to Alan that he is 
going to keep Lucy, she insists on it.

Buzz wants to tear Brent apart.  Alan writes to Brent that he will meet 
him at the old gas and electric building parking lot.

Brent gets upset and tells Alan that he will decide where they'll meet.  
Brent tells Alan to go to the public phone on the ferry docks and bring 
the money.  Alan agrees.  Brent tells Alan that he can't take a step 
until he says the magic word.

Alan calls Brent demented.  Reva tells the hacker to try "please".

Brent can't believe Alan is bewildered by this.  Lucy tells Brent to 
give him a clue.  Brent types to Alan, "You can't take a step until you 
say..."

Buzz, "May I?  Mother, may I?"  So the hacker types it in.  Brent writes 
that he's correct and tells him to go to the docks.  Brent knows the area 
well, he gave Nadine a "lovely burial there".  

Brent asks who's typing for Alan.  Brent tells AM that he's a dead man if 
his father went to the police.

	FARMHOUSE

Hart and Dinah kiss.  There's a knock on the door.  Roger calls out for 
Dinah.  Dinah sits up in surprise.  She gets out of bed with a sheet 
around her.  Hart whispers that he doesn't care if Roger knows, but Dinah 
doesn't want Roger to find them in bed because he'd kill them.  She 
hides.  Hart puts on his pants, then opens the door.  He asks Roger if 
Dinah is ticked off for what Roger did to Marcus.  Roger doesn't blame 
her and asks Hart to tell Dinah that he's ashamed.  Hart can't believe 
Roger said that.  Roger says he was so afraid of losing Dinah that he 
made a hideous mistake and he's going to try to convince her that he's 
sorry.  Roger asks Hart to call him if he sees Dinah.  Before he leaves, 
Roger tells Hart that he was a lousy father and hopes Hart will never be 
in his position.  He has alienated everybody that he ever loved and he 
doesn't know how to fix it. 

Dinah comes out and says Roger sounded sincere.  Hart asks if she's sorry 
about what happened.

	INN RESTAURANT

Gilly meets Vivian for breakfast and to talk about Griffin.  Gilly 
doesn't understand Vivian's attitude.  Vivian tells Gilly that he's a 
user, a manipulator.  She doesn't want to see Gilly involved with a man 
like that.  Gilly didn't say she was involved with him and it's her 
business anyway.  Gilly wants to know why Griffin has a pet name for 
Vivian and what happened back then.  Griffin arrives.

	SPAULDING

Alan tells Brent that he hired a computer whiz to find him and he's been 
typing.  He'll keep his mouth shut and the cops aren't in the room.  They 
won't be notified.

Brent is glad to hear that, but he has enough surveillance equipment to 
observe Alan at all times.  If he sees any cops, AM & Lucy are history.  
He tells Alan to leave right now.

Alan pays off the computer guy and starts to leave.  Buzz wants to go 
with Alan to give him some backup.  Alan doesn't want his help, but Reva 
encourages Alan to work with Buzz.  She wants to drive, but Alan asks her 
to stay by the computer in case AM can get back online and tell them 
where they are.  Reva agrees, as long as Alan & Buzz work together.  They 
leave.

	LIGHTHOUSE

Brent tells Lucy to eat and wait for him.  She asks when he'll be back.  
Brent, "For your sake, I hope it's soon" and leaves.

Lucy tries to use the computer but Brent took the card.  AM has a plan.  
He sharpened the bow on his glasses so that he could use it to pick the 
lock on the cage door.  Lucy takes it, because her dad showed her how to 
pick a lock.

	RESTAURANT

Gilly asks Griffin to join them.  Griffin tells them that he's staying to 
teach at the university.  Gilly is pleased.  She leaves to answer a 
page.  Vivian tells him that she only wants him to leave her alone.  
Griffin is sorry he hurt her and leaves.  Gilly comes back and asks why 
he left.  Vivian tells Gilly that nothing happened in the past.  Gilly 
doesn't believe her, so she gets up to ask Griffin.  Vivian stops her and 
tells her that they had an affair shortly after she married Charles.

	FARM

Dinah doesn't regret last night or this morning.  Hart wants to tell 
Roger.  Dinah doesn't want to until she thinks about it.  Hart doesn't 
regret last night either.  It meant alot to him, "more than she'll ever 
know".  He kisses her and she leaves.  Hart smirks, removes Dinah's teddy 
from under a pillow, and calls Roger.

	BOARDINGHOUSE

Marcus is making breakfast when Griffin comes in.  Griffin tells Marcus 
about his job and hopes they can spend time together.  Marcus thinks it 
sounds like he's one of Griffin's new causes.  Griffin just wants to keep 
talking, he wants a chance with Marcus.  Marcus doesn't know how long 
he'll stay in Springfield.  Griffin asks if Marcus hates him.

	SPAULDING

Reva impatiently waits for a message from AM, when Frank arrives.  He 
wants to know where Alan is and if he's heard from Brent.  Reva lies and 
says Alan hasn't heard from Brent and he went to get coffee.  Frank sees 
the coffee cups and asks why no one will tell him the truth.  He thinks 
Alan knows where AM & Lucy are and he'll walk right into Brent's trap 
like AM did.  Then Reva will have to identify Alan in the morgue just 
like Frank did with his mother.

	DOCK

Alan gets the call from Brent.  Brent tells him that he's on AM's yacht.  
Alan hangs up and walks by Buzz who bumps into Alan.  Alan tells Buzz 
where Brent is.  Buzz tells Alan to keep Brent occupied and make sure 
Brent's back is towards the door.

	RESTAURANT

Gilly is shocked.  Vivian tells her that Charles doesn't know.  Gilly 
wants to know what happened.  Vivian tells her that Charles was in his 
second year of residency and she was doing voter registration.  Griffin 
was in charge and she fell for him & fell into bed with him.  She 
realized she made a mistake, because of Charles and because Griffin never 
gave himself to anyone for very long.  The cause kept his soul.  When 
Vivian realized that, she went back to Charles and never told anyone.  
After Gilly was born, Griffin's memory faded away.  Vivian says it's 
foolish to love an icon and she's not foolish.  He's not a bad man, just 
dangerous.  Gilly should stay away.

	BOARDINGHOUSE

Marcus doesn't hate his father.  He doesn't know him and he wished he 
did.  He couldn't separate the man in the paper from the man who came 
home.  Griffin doesn't want to ruin another relationship and tells Marcus 
that Hamp wants Marcus to work at the Towers.  Griffin wants Marcus to 
take the offer, so that he can go listen to Marcus play.  Marcus doesn't 
know what he's going to do and when he does, he'll let Griffin know.  
Griffin appreciates that and starts to leave.  

Dinah bursts through the door and runs into Marcus's arms.  She's excited that
Marcus is free and clear and they can do whatever they want.  Marcus reminds 
her that her husband put him behind bars and he won't forget that.  Dinah 
tells him that when she found that out, she left Roger.  Marcus claps and 
congratulates her.  Dinah tells him that she met someone and asks if 
she's nuts.  Marcus says she can do whatever she wants as long as she's 
not married to Roger.  Dinah tells Marcus that she spent one unbelievable 
night with the guy and he says he loves her.  She's know him for awhile, 
she doesn't fall into bed with strangers.  Marcus, "Since when?  Who is 
he and what's his story?"

	LIGHTHOUSE

Lucy can't get the lock open, the tool isn't stong enough.

	YACHT

Alan opens the door.  Brent is waiting (with a gun) and checks outside 
for cops.  He stands in front of the open door.  Alan demands to see his 
son.  Brent tells Alan that he can't demand anything because Brent holds 
all the cards.  Buzz jumps Brent, throws him on the ground and Alan steps 
on the gun in Brent's hand.  Alan, "The game's over Lawrence and you lost."

	BOARDINGHOUSE

Dinah tells Marcus that maybe she's on the rebound, falling for some 
line, but it felt real.  Marcus, "Don't confuse great sex with falling in 
love."  Dinah says the two can go together, can't they?  Marcus, "It was 
that good?"  Dinah, "Better.  Don't worry.  I think I can trust him."  
Marcus, "Maybe you can and maybe you can't.  Who is it?"  Dinah, "This 
is going to sound weird, so brace yourself.  It's Roger's son, Hart."  Marcus
chuckles, gets out of his chair, "Just when I think things are getting 
better, you go and completely lose your mind!"

	FARM

Roger knocks and Hart invites him in.  Roger asks about Dinah.  Hart says 
Roger just missed her.  He didn't make the call until she was safely out 
of here.  She was here when Roger was here earlier and she spent the 
night here.  Hart, "That's right.  Last night I slept with your wife."  
Roger is stunned.

	SPAULDING

Frank tells Reva that Brent is a psychopath and Alan's life is in 
danger.  Reva tells Frank that Buzz is with Alan.  Frank, "I've already 
lost my mother.  This guy could take my father and my sister."  He 
demands to know where they are.  Reva tells him.

	YACHT

Buzz asks about Lucy.  Brent, "This is so perfect.  The two avenging 
fathers.  I wish I had a camera on this.  Too bad you're too stupid.  
While you were busy tring to capture me, I was busy making sure I got out 
of this alive.  If Lucy and AM don't see me soon, they're going to die.  
I promise."

	LIGHTHOUSE

AM sees a toolbox Brent brought into the room before he left.  Lucy opens 
it.  It's a bomb with 53 minutes and 40 seconds on the timer.
