: ED'S
: zzzz
: Lil...Blake,,,and Bridgett set everything out on the table for
: Eve's memorial service.  

: Ed and Michelle come in from the backyard.  "Rotten gardener...
: says Ed...It's a miracle if I can get _anything_ to stay in the
: ground at all"....(What are Mo and Eve?  Potted plants...)

: He tells the three women that he and M. are planting a tree for
: Eve.. "To look down on us for the rest of our lives..." 
: <punishment for killing her.  Why'd he inflict in on himself
: though?  Strange family.  Now I see why my baby {Rick!} is such a
: masochist!!>


: LEWIS'
: zzzzzz
: Van tells Lil'Billy to NOT tell Michelle or Ed about Dinah's
: kidnapping...they have enough to worry about ...like planting that
: gruesome reminder of Eve.  Van holds her hands palms-up
: ..."Nothing to anyone!  Least not until I hear something"...

: Matt tells Ross that Dinah told him about Pachenoff a'while back
: and asked for his help.  Van is in disbelief...  "You knew 'bout
: that..?....She asked for your help and you did nothing???"


: HIDE-OUT
: zzzzzzzz
: Dinah is listening to one of my all-time favorite singers..-
: Josephine Baker-...while sitting on the bed and smoking a cigarette
: as she's flipping through a magazine.   (She just won some brownie
: points...)

: Lurch (Victor) reaches up and turns it off...."Anyone listening
: will get suspicious."  <French music??  What is she crazy??? 
: That's the first clue that you're that missing\kidnapped wealthy
: PAAARIE\Chamberlain gal!!!  She ain't always _the smartest_ - -
: mentally speaking....>

: Dinah plays it off..."Kick back and relax..here, have a bun." 
: Victor isn't a balanced kind of guy.  <Brain probably went whack
: when he reached 7 ft.!>  He's sitting at this table and slowly
: tearing a newspaper into long strips as he answers..."We don't have
: the luxury... In fact my dear, our time is up." <Know what they say
: 'bout alcohol...and studying too hard...and days without "sex"... 
: Tell me I didn't once indicate boinking that..that..THAT
: ..EEEEEWWWWW!!! {shudder...shudder..shudder..shudder..}  Maybe I
: should =go back= to therapy...>


: SPAULDING ENTERPRISES
: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
: Lucy and A-M fight their way through this massive mob of reporters. 
: A-M had no idea the alarm would ring soooo early 'round the place. 
: He asks Lucy, "Are you sure you can go through with this?"  Her
: answer>>>>>>.._Jusssst try and stop me!_

: -------------------------
: INTRO ROLL
: --------------------------

: JOURNAL
: zzzzzzz
: Roger confronts Holly..."You didn't come home last night."  She
: tells him...-He's a quick healer-  Red ain't in a good way.,.,The
: police are bugging their phones at the Journal; and, she \should/
: be at Ed's for Eve's memorial services.  

: Fletch comes in and looks the two up and down..."Morning."

: Holly answers same as he heads for his tiny-ass cubicle. <I wonder
: if all Editors ~live as large~ as Fletch...>.  "Everything okay
: with you two?" asks Roger.  Sure, everything's honkey-dory... 
: Roger looks over at dorkey Fletch...

: Tangie enters and pulls z'dork into Holly's office.  Seems she
: doesn't want to write about Allan Spaulding anymore; feels she's in
: way over her head.  Fletch acts like his hearing is amiss...
: "Whoa...my hearing is ..."  No!..Your hearing is fine!

: What happens when you start caring about your subject?  When you?
: What happens?  When something happens and you hurt somebody and you
: wanna do something about it and you can't... <WHAAAAAAAAAAT????>

: You must have to be moronic to get this conversation cuz Fletch has
: it down pat, answering...."That's a lotta __somebody's__."   Are
: you trying to tell me you have feelings for Alan?  He thinks she's
: bizarre..  She likes Alan..his company.....etc.

: She wants to tell him something that should stay in the room. 
: "Someone called last night ...didn't I.D. himself...he said Allan
: is involved in taking over the company's control again..sounded
: like Brent..."

: Fletch thanked her for sharing and tells her that if she goes after
: it as a Journalist she must dig for the truth; and if you want a
: relationship with this man you wanna know what he's about... 
: Either way..."You're going to have to DIG"...<she should hook-up
: with Ed...she digs while he plants...I can dig it!!...:-)..>


: MANSION
: zzzzzzz
: Alex comes into the 'whatever' room (it's too big  ....who cares!)
: where Allan is...How did you sleep?, she asks.  Heard you and
: Tangie arguing and then I saw the car take her away...  You saw
: that did you...?  My personal life is none of your business Alex. 
: I know you're hurting...I'm your partner and I'll stand beside you
: no matter what..press will be all over us...  WHAT is your point? 
: Spaulding needs leadership; I think you should handle the board 
: and I'll handle the press.  Very well...that's what we should do. 
: Thank you Alex.


: SPAULDING
: zzzzzzzzz
: A-M can't figure out |how| Brent figured it out.  "I edited the
: tape..I cut out the part about the rape and now he wants to
: sensationalize it..."  I don't mind if they know.. *Really*,,, the
: more people know, the less chances he can hurt someone else...
: insists Lucy.

: I should be with Ed says A-M...He understands the crisis...  Can't
: tell you how much it means to have you here..near me...  Lucy
: reminds him..."Your father."   A_M is adamant..."Not going to let
: him stop me!" 



: LEWIS'
: zzzzzz
: Van is still on the last damn scene...You knew???  And you didn't
: tell me????  They are =still= in the area...says Cutter.  Think he
: has Dinah? asks Matt.  That's the logical assumption...answers the
: illogical Detective.   Ross interrupts and asks Cutter ...  "Can I
: talk to you for a minute?"  They exit...  

: Matt puts his arm on Van's shoulder..telling her not to 
: worry..."We'll find Dinah."


: HIDEOUT
: zzzzzzz
: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiipppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
: pppp...............rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiippppppppppppppppp
: ppppppppppppppppppppppp...............rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiii
: iipppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp...............Victor is
: still ripping up the newspaper...  Dinah is about to lose it
: too...Relax-a-vou, would YOU!  I'm trying to hold a conversation;
: you're not contributing at all....Oh'well...back to t.v. (she
: clicks it back on with the remote.)


: Victor tells her that while she's listening to +the tele+ he'll be
: a'listening for sirens....He's beginning to despise her & her
: smelly cigs....((hmmmmmm...that's precisely ^why^ I hate her.  She
: keeps making me have these 'nick-fits' each time I see her with a
 : cigarette, I think..."""Whyyyyyyyyyy..oh...Wwwwwwwwwwwwhy can't
: that BE ME smoking!!"""  That urge never leaves ya!))  Lurch
: especially hates her sloppy habits.  In fact, says he wouldn't be
: surprised if they {the Lewis'} were ==too happy== to get rid of
: her....

: Dinah looks at him long and hard before commenting..."Someone got
: up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...She laughs..
: <funny!>...You'll feel a lot better when you get that 2 million. 
: A fifty-fifty split."  She's grinning all too gleefully... <why
: doesn't he just strangle her and get it over with....no, ((snapping
: fingers..))  I got it!  Allow me!!!  I'll do it!!!  Gladly!! 
: Or...at least lemme put her cig out in the middle of her
: forehead....Pleeeeease???  You let Matt smash grapefruit a'la James
: Cagney in her face...__I loved that movie as a teenager__

: Who said anything about a 55\50 split?  We're partners and partners
: share....He gets up to leave..."What are you thinking?...Tell me.
: Where are you going?"  I'll be back.


: JOURNAL
: zzzzzzz
: Roger approaches Red....She looks surprised to see him..."What are 
: you doing here?  Shouldn't you be resting."   Came to give you
: these...he hands her the keys...  I'm going back to my apartment. 
: Didn't mean to complicate her life....  Seems her love kept him
: through..  Wants her to keep in touch cuz she's..."balm for his
: pain"...(yuck)... She leaves for Ed's house as Fletch yells at her
: to "take all the time y'need."  <is there a flag with a -S- hanging
: outta one of Holly's bodily holes that I'm unaware of?  She cannot
: possibly be that hot!!>


: SPAULDING
: zzzzzzzzz
: Some board members are mixed in with about a dozen reporters as
: Alex and Alan get off the elevator....  The Siamese-Spauldings
: (identical mentalities...) wanna know who all these busy-bodies
: are....  "Who are we????  We're your company.  Of course!!!,
: answers a B-member, standing a little taller in righteous
: indignation!"  Alex speaks up...My brother would like to assure
: everyone that Spaulding is still on top...not in any financial
: crisis...it's as strong as ever.  

: Tangie steps off the elevator to add her questions to the
: confusion..."How is it that a meager employee...I mean, how is it
: that Brent Lawrence...inquire...inquire...inquire..."  "Inquiring
: minds," says someone from the peanut gallery.

: Allan attempts answering this one..."Clearly a man driven by
: revenge and jealously; also, a man that had access to the Spaulding
: records <oh yeah..{slap forehead}..that!!!!  How obvious!>."  Now,
: I want you to know that everything is being done to bring him to
: justice.  In the meantime, it's business as usual.  A-M gets off
: the elevator begging the differ... "No it isn't Dad."




: =============================1/2 Time=============================



: "As President of Spaulding, I plan to conduct a full
: investigation...If it is discovered that the deception goes up even
: further,,,,,well..."  A board member cuts him off...  "May I inform
: you that you've been temporarily displaced."  By erroneous info,
: for sure; A-M corrects him..."  I invite you and anyone else to join
: me. "

: Allan, refusing to allow anyone to think HIM less-than gracious
: <more like lesser than less...> adds his few-million worth..."I
: hereby reinstate my son as President; and, place him in full charge
: of this investigation...adding:::  "I endorse him and I applaud
: him."  A-M looks at him...surprised, "Thank you Dad."

: At this, the reporters go nuts with questions...

: On the side-lines, Tangie tells Allan that his performance was
: good...  I love my son and believe in him...I told you that.  I
: care about you Allan.  All you care about is a story - - let's not
: pretend otherwise.  Do you really believe I was pretending?  They
: are interrupted by A-M.  

:      Ms. Hill stands alone...Ms. Hill stands alone...Hi-
:      O...the Marrio.. Ms. Hill stands alone...

: Alex takes full advantage of this situation...She tells her to wait
: in the lobby..."with the rest of the media."  Thank you....Thank
: you all...yes, we'll be with you shortly...thank you!!

: Alone....Father tells son that he meant everything he said earlier
: and, in the process, reveals his real ulterior motive...."Where 
: exactly do I stand?  Am I about to be investigated, am I your
: target."


: ED'S
: zzzz
: Ed and Rick are returning from Eve's memorial service.  Ed cannot help
: _revealing_ how he hated disclosing himself like he HAD to...."That
: was hard."  You handled it well, answers Rick.  <What else could he
: say?  Y'handled it -horribly-???>  You said some wonderful things
: about Eve today.  Was it okay? <he doesn't know proper from
: improper??...oh..right,,,he doesn't!!!  He felt it was "proper" to
: end it for Eve without benefit of a living-will as the law
: requires.>  Rick reassures "It was -better- than okay..."  You're
: a good son.  <nooooooo!!>  Couldn't have gotten through it without
: Rick says Ed weakly!  Thanks Dad!

: Surrounded by all you needy&clingy people...I feel comforted that
: I'm making the right choice to stay in Springfield.  "This is
: really home for me; nobody would cling to me in Chicago...!!! 
: Well, Annie did - - but it was sooooo damn brief!  I'm home Dad."
: <he does his weird-face grin...>

: Inside Lil is fussing over the food...She, Ross and Blake laugh
: about Blake's cooking a dish with too much garlic.

: Blake compliments her hubby, "With everything that's going on, you
: can still remain a charming stiff board."  Piece of cake, answers
: Ross, "Edward is my dearest friend..."<birds of a feather; you nuts
: deserve each other!>..

: Ed comes up to them and Ross warns him about Blake's dish; "It's
: not normal."  "But good FOR you," she insists...just _not_ people
: around you...  Ed doesn't mind.  He's better at distances with
: folks anyhow, remember...?  Her dish should "help" more than it
: hurt.  She sure knows her step-dad.  He kisses her on the forehead
: in gratitude...  "We're glad you're here."  She looks up at him,
: her arm is around him.."Whatever you need."  Ed tells her that was
: sufficient and leaves..  


: Blake turns to Ross "Maybe you'll hear something about the
: kidnapping today."

: Lil'Billy tells Michelle that he thought she was cool and kept it
: together throughout the memorial.  Had to for my Dad, she responds
: nonchalantly.  Wanna get a sandwich?  Sure.  I'll show you the tree
: we planted for Eve; but, you can't smoke there.  Eve hated smoke
: and so did I.  Don't know what's wrong with Dinah ..that she'd
: teach you; it's a terrible habit.  Bill doesn't want anyone
: 'badmouthing' his Sis.  Dinah's my sister, okay, don't say anything
: bad about her.  "Okay." answers M. 

: They see Holly on the way out and she hugs M....

: Holly finds a way to turn it into --her evening--....  She hugs Ed
: saying, "Everyone's here!"  "Now including you...", he answers.  So
: proud of what you said at the church...

: Self-centered Van enters repeating Holly's performance..."Sooooo
: sorry I'm late, Ed."  It's fine....fine, he reassures.  Everything
: okay?, Ed asks Van.  Holly stares on enviously at Van for being later,
: and showing her up in the process....<She wears this "damn, if only 
: I'da waited a few more minutes" expression...>


: HIDEOUT
: zzzzzzz
: With Josephine in the background sweetly singing in French, Dinah
: is tearing the already junky place to shreds looking for ..........
: ......something??...................

: No!...She slaps her forehead.."I'm not going to start smoking
: butts".. <ah, looking for some cigs..>  She slips on a raincoat and
: ties this scarf on her head sorta ''turban-style'''.  She leaves the
: tiny room and pauses to put on very dark shades.  She walks up the
: stairs to the street....


: ED'S
: zzzz
: Roger comes in walking slowly...."Ed, I'm sorry."  Glad you're
: here; grab something to eat.  <Make him take a bite first outta
: everything you eat, Honey!>  How are you feeling?

: Blake comes up to her father.."Dad what are you doing here?"
: (Meaning cuz he's sick not cuz he & Ed are arch-enemies..)

: Fletch admits to Ed that due to his extreme inability to be even
: remotely creative,,,,he's unable to come up with ~anything~ to say
: regarding Eve's demise.  Ed stares back at him fully understanding
: his dilemma...

: Van tells Rick she's glad he's staying in Springfield...

: Holly gives Ross her support about his daughter's kidnapping.  He
: thanks her, "Thank you Holly; I appreciate it."  They watch Roger
: and Blake talking..."Didn't he make a remarkable recovery?"  says
: Ross.   Fletch utters it was still a --day too late-- for him. 
: Holly just walks away not commenting.

: Roger sees all this and fills his daughter in on the recent
: strain between the two (Hol and Fletch), that his radar is picking
: up on...  <give my baby a life, please?>  Blake says she's too
: preoccupied to care...  "Last thing on my mind is them two..." 
: Roger says he loves Holly soooo; couldn't bear if something was
: "going on"....with the two..  Blake says she'll look into it,.


: SPAULDING
: zzzzzzzzz
: Alex tells Lucy with a plastic smile that she..."Never did like
: Brent".  Over in the corner A-M is having a hard time..."Dad, I
: really want to believe you..."  Ring that I gave you..it symbolized
: the passing of leadership...from Brandon-->to me-->to YOU...  A-M
: says -that- meant a lot to him...  Alan says he wants the best for
: his son..."You deserve it."  A-M proposes that his father help soas
: he may be ...sure.  =Come to work with me..side-by-side... Will you
: do that for me father.=  _Yes!...Yes, I will._  They hug...

: A-M mumbles against his shoulder..."This means a lot to me
: father...it really means a LOT!.  Allan leans a sinister and evil
: expression over the youth's shoulder..

: After commercial...

: Lucy is yelling at someone for only the 2nd time in several months. 
: YOU DID WHAT???  "I asked my father to come and work for me and he
: accepted."   WHY?...Please tell me you -don't think- that he has
: nothing to do with Brent.  He tried to stab YOU in the back
: <correction, DID!>.  Do you really believe that...do YOU???  That
: my own father would construct my fall? ...Why would any father do
: that to his son.  I don't know; but it happens.  Lucy, the truth is
: ,...I don't trust him.  But, I need to be able to keep my eyes on
: him......!!Every Minute!!


: MANSION
: zzzzzzz
: Alex is livid.  You had it ALL!!....What the hell made you turn
: your back on it so easily?  Enough Alex....ENOUGH!!!  Allan tries
: to explain that he was merely "saving the appearances"... _What
: kind of father wouldn't support his own son?_  A Spaulding
: father!...That's who! reminds his sister.  Same games that our   
: father played with you...  This is not the same Alex.  What are
: you trying to do??  ...what are you not telling me??  He turns his
: back on her...  "Fine!  Fine, I'll just have to find out for
: myself."  She storms out...


: ED'S
: zzzz
: Rick tells his Dad that he has to go check on a patient.  Ed looks
: at him like he's crazy.  .."Actually, a patient of Eve's..."  "Go. 
: Go ahead...," advises Ed.

: Blake asks Holly,,,"You okay...?"  Yeah, rough day....long rough
: day.  How come you and Fletcher aren't together?  Holly doesn't
: want to talk about it.

: Matt walks up to Van, "No word yet."  "Nothing?"  He shakes his
: head..."Wire-taps on all the phones and at the journal so if they
: call back, there's a good chance they can trace the call..."


: JOURNAL
: zzzzzzz
: A worker calls Tangie over to his computer,,,"I've got some e-mail
: here that I think you should see."  She gets up to look at the
: screen.  "Call Detective Cutter right now!"  


: SPAULDING
: zzzzzzzzz
: A-M apologizes to Lucy.  When are you going to stop apologizing?
: When you get a good night's sleep.  You don't get it; do you? 
: What?  Remember that day we were looking at the stars and talking
: about our future?  Yeah, I'll never forget it.  They look longingly
: into each other's eyes..."Neither will I," says Lucy...  They sorta
: awkwardly hug...

: ED'S
: zzzzz
: Fletch gets up and whispers to Holly..."This stinks...being this
: close to you and not being able to touch you."  She promises to
: touch him later...He inhales sharply..<easy stomach...>  She
: reminds him that all the people in that room will be at 'their
: wedding.'  Well,,,he responds... all except for "One Big Creep."

: In walks Cutter followed by Tangie.  They head straight to
: Van..."We've received a ransom note at the Journal."


: HIDEOUT
: zzzzzzz
: Dinah enters the messy room decked out in her silly disguise. 
: Lurch had been 'wondering' where she'd gone.  "Went out to get some
: smokes," she answers.  He stands up..."I told you NOT to leave
: here!!  He doesn't like it when she doesn't listen to him.  "Relax. 
: Why can't we be buddies?" "I don't ^need^ a buddy, Dinah...I ^NEED^
: you to shut up and do what you're told!!....And, I -=NEED=- you to
: understand that THIS,,,,, is not a game!!!"  He dangles handcuffs
: in her face as proof-positive.
