*****ALLIKAT'S TERRIBLY TARDY TUESDAY TRANSCRIPTION FOR JULY 18, 1995******

ROGER'S PASSION PIT
Roger comes out of the bathroom area looking *very* sexy in a silver/grey 
silky looking robe, with wet hair and water dopplets glistening on his 
chest. Close at his heels is Dinah, also looking great in a little harem 
number: a copper colored silk cropped tank, bright blue capri pants, a 
jeweled belt hanging low off her hips, a funky choker arounder her neck 
and her midrift exposed. She's complaining to Roger how everyone knows 
about her involvement in her kidnapping and how everyone has turned 
against her. Roger asks her to leave so he can dress and she tells him to 
stop being such a Puritan. Roger tells her to dispense with the "poor me 
routine"  and Dinah accuses him of turning against her as well. As she starts 
to leave Roger says "I think we can dispense with the dramatic exits 
also. Why don't you come back here and tell me all your troubles? 
Especially with Ross."

FESS UP
At their house,Ross is on the phone trying to find Blake who's been out all 
night. Blake walks in the door and he hangs up the phone saying "You're 
here." Blake is surprised to see him, thinking that he had an early 
deposition that morining. Ross says he cancelled it in hopes that she 
would come home. He says he has a confession to make and Blake sighs and 
says "So do I." 

YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING YOU WANT AT ALICE'S RESTAURANT (EXCEPTING ALICE)
Frank enters the diner and a relieved Eleni embraces him saying "You were 
gone so long." Frank & Buzz have been out "looking under every rock" for 
Brent Lawrence for the past few hours. Eleni says she's glad that they 
didn't find him because he's a dangerous man. Lucy enters sporting a 
hairdo that looks like it was done by Exxon and announces "It's over. 
Brent's dead."

DOWN AT THE STATION EARLY IN THE MORNING
Tangie is pacing and looking at her watch as she awaits Detective 
Cutter's arrival. Patrick comes in and comments on how lucky 
"Springfield's finest" are to have a visit from the press. Tangie says 
she's not there on business and Cutter cynically says "Now where have I 
heard that before?" Tangie explains that she has to report a crime. 
Cutter seems unsincere when he tells her that she has his attention and 
sneers "Now tell me, Ms. Hill, who done it?" Close on Tangie weakly 
replying "Alan Spaulding."

THE HAIRCUT MUST'VE PULLED THE WOOL FROM OVER MY EYES
Alan strides into Spaulding's Presidential Office Suite and directly into 
Alan-Michael's office. AM is not at his desk, he's behind Alan getting 
some coffee. Alan looks around for AM and AM speaks up: "Glad you're here, 
Father. I've been waiting for you."  **It's very difficult to convey the 
electricity between these two men in today's scenes. AM is basically very 
cold and in control but it's obvious that he's hurt and on the verge 
of losing it emotionally. Alan is desperate, like a caged animal caught 
in a trap. The acting is SUPERB and Rick Hearst is unbelievably awesome!  

ROLL THE LIGHTHOUSE!

Alan (who was practically running into the office) turns to see AM calmly 
sipping coffee and states "Well, I'm glad you're allright. I heard 
Lawrence is dead." AM takes another sip, puts his cup in the saucer, 
looks up and says "Yes, I realize that."

Al: "What the hell happened?"

AM slowly walks past his father.

AM: "What do you think happened?"

Alan turns to face AM's back (the camera shows AM's face w/ Alan over his 
shoulder.)

Al: Well the Police Commissioner said that...

SILENCE

AM raises his brows: "Yes?"

Al: "Well, he just called me."

SILENCE

AM: (nodding slightly, closes his eyes,) "And?"

Al: "Look son, why don't you stop playing games and just tell me what happened?"

AM puts his cup down on the desk and turns to face his father.

AM: "What did the Police Commissioner say?"

Al: "He said that Brent Lawrence died last night after he summoned you to 
the pier. Now is that true?"

Close up on AM's stony face and a slight nod of adknowledgement.

Al: "Apparently he said a lot of wild things, made some sort of deathbed 
confession..."

AM: "Some of those 'wild things' included the little hide out you set him 
up with..."

Al: (Feigning ignorance) "Wha..."

AM: "Commissioner mention that? I can see why you'd be upset. (Nods) Oh 
yes, damning testimony."

Al: "What what what are you...wha..."

AM: "Now who's playing games?  (Pauses) I know father. I know it all."

Al: "Now, you may think you know something...let me..."

AM: "He was your man. Brent was your man. You called the shots."

Al: "Now wait just a minute son..."

AM: "You set the whole thing up. Brent was your inside man, (Pauses) he'd 
do all your dirty work for you and in return you promised to protect him 
and then, when the time was right you'd move him up to top level 
management."

Al:(shouting) "Brent Lawrence was scum, I *HATED* him!!" 

AM: (calmly) "He was scum who did what he was told and you got your money's 
worth. Maybe not all of it but a tidy return on your investment which 
included setting him up in that little hide out of his."

Al: "Brent said all of this?"

AM: (nodding) "But he turned on you didn't he?"

Al: "No, You've misunderstood Alan Michael."

AM: "Brent told me everything. He was dying so he had nothing to lose."

Al: "You don't have all the facts."

AM: (Rising his voice slightly and getting right in Alan's face) "Facts? 
Fact one: You lied. Fact two: You laid a trap for me at the board 
meeting. Fact three: You betrayed me. (Sighs, shakes his head) I 
could...sigh...I could recite a LITANY of the facts but none of them, 
NONE of them are as vile or as sickening as the fact that this scum who 
RAPED Lucy found a sponsor in my father. You not only tried to 
deliberately destroy me but you used the man who raped Lucy to do it."

(Close in on Alan's scowling face and we hear laughter-it's that of 
Patrick Cutter in the next scene...very creepy effect!)

LET ME GET A Q-TIP TO MAKE SURE I HEARD YOU RIGHT...
Cutter laughs at Tangie and sort of taunts Tangie as she tells him the 
details of Alan's involvement with Brent as she knows it. She says that 
he aided & abetted a fugitive and obstructed justice. Suddenly she 
*really* has Patrick's attention and he asks her for her source. When 
she insists that there is no source and that he's missing the point he 
says "I seem to do that a lot with you." She explains that Alan 
confessed to her and Detective Cutter is surprised that she is turning in the 
man she's been sleeping with and tells her so. She says she doesn't have 
the stomach for what's going on.

DID YOU GET THAT OUTFIT FROM THE WARDROBE DEPARTMENT OF "I DREAM OF JEANNIE?"
"A minute ago you couldn't wait to get rid of me and now you want me to 
pour my heart out to you?" demands Dinah of Roger. 

"I want you to feel free to talk to me about your problems, yes." 
replies Roger. 

"Oh, so you're going to let me do my 'poor me routine'?" pouts Dinah. 

Roger sighs and says "You're having trouble with your father?"

"You know you're only gonna' take 'Little Chrissy's' side anyway so why 
even bother discussing it?" Dinah says snidely.

"It's precisely because Chrissy is my daughter that you ought to talk to 
me." 

"Excuse me? You wanna' run that by me again?"

"Maybe I can help in some way. C'mon." says Roger, patting the bed, "Sit 
down you cutie pie." (Ugh! That's the second time in 2 weeks I've heard 
him use that expression!)

Dinah crosses over and sits down. Roger rubs her arm and then her 
stomach, slipping his hand under the bottom of her blouse and then into 
the waistband of her pants. Dinah smiles and Roger continues rubbing her 
shoulder and asking her about the problems with she and Ross. Dinah 
whines about not getting credit for saving Peter from being kidnapped and 
how she feels betrayed by the way she is being portrayed. Roger nod and 
makes all the apropriate clucking noises to soothe her. He says that he 
would have done the same thing and she explains how Blake and Matt have 
twisted the truth and Roger says "Some people will do anything."

"Yeah, you're not kidding. Your daughter does not fool around." replies 
Dinah. Roger smirks and says he was referring to Matt. Dinah laments 
about how she was just getting her father to trust her again and how soon 
her mother will know and everyone will hate her and she'll be all alone 
again. Roger assures her that she will never be alone and promises he 
will always be around. He takes her in his arms and kisses her head in a 
very grandfatherly way.

IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE MY LAST CONFESSION, FATHER...
"It's my fault." says Ross, referrring to the problems he and Blake have 
been having. He realizes that Dinah has been manipulating him and that he 
shouldn't have believed her or taken her word over Blakes. Blake says 
that it's natural because he's her father. He says that he should have 
realized that Dinah was capable of anything after she took the money from 
the 5th Street Ball and thinks he's been stupid and blind. Blake says 
that he's just loyal to the people that he loves and that she loves him 
for it. He thinks she's letting him off too easily and she asks what kind 
of father he would be if he didn't believe his daughter, especially 
considering how unbelievable and terrible the fake kidnapping was. Ross 
admits to rationalizing Dinah's behaviour and blaming it on her childhood 
and the fact that she was essentially abandoned. Blake says Ross didn't 
abandon Dinah - he didn't even know about her. Blake suggests that maybe 
they're asking too much of Dinah to change given her history. Ross says 
that Blake is too good to him and apologises for putting her through hell 
just for trying to get him to see the truth. "I love you." Blake states 
simply, "And that's the only thing that matters."

"Thank you." says Ross, "So, that's my confession, what's yours?"

SPRINGFIELD COP SHOP

Tangie weepily explains to Detective Patrick Cutter how she was deceived 
by Alan and how she can't be a party to the crimes he committed or the way 
he hurt people. Patrick offers to try to keep this "personal" and Tangie 
wonders if they can after all they've been through. Cutter then offers to 
turn the case over to Leavy and Tangie says it's not necessary. She 
explains how Alan confessed his involvement with Brent to her and says 
she'll testify to the fact if need be (hearsay.) Cutter isn't sure that 
it will stand up in court and asks Tangie if she's sure-even if it means 
putting Alan Spaulding back behind bars.

THANKFULLY WE HAVE NO PATRONS SO WE CAN SIT AROUND AND TALK ALL DAY
The Coopers (Lucy, Elameme, BuzzCut & Flunkie) are sitting in a booth at 
the Diner listening to Lucy explain about Brent's "deathbed confession." 
Lucy seems to be making peace with Brent, who asked for her forgiveness 
before he died and Buzz explodes, calling Brent every name in the 
"Cusswords we Allow on Daytime TV" book. Lucy stands up and walks to the 
counter saying that calling Brent names won't help anything-he's dead. 
Buzz quips that Lucy must get her compassion/understanding from her 
mother's side of the family because he never taught her that. Lucy 
explains how Brent uncovered Alan's involvement in trying to destroy Alan 
Michael and Frank commends her for not trusting him. Buzz admits to being 
suckered by Alan too and Eleni suggests that Brent was only saying that 
to hurt AM. Lucy concludes that since Brent knew he was dying and that 
those would be the last words he ever spoke that he *MUST* be telling the 
truth. Buzz says that he doesn't trust Alanspaulding (all one word) but 
that he trusts Brent Lawrence even less.

GREEN EGGS AND HAM (OR IS IT HOP ON POP?)
Alan and Alan-Michael continue to face off in AM's office at Spaulding. 
Alan-Michael rips into Alan for his betrayal and Alan feigns ignorance 
admitting that he's made mistakes but not the ones that AM is accusing him 
of. AM says he doesn't need to admit anything, as far as he's concerned 
he's guilty as sin. "So I don't even get to state my case?!" demands Alan.

"You wanna' cop a plea?" asks Alan-Michael, nonchallantly opening a desk 
drawer.

"I will explain if you give me a chance." says Alan.

"No, I'm sorry, I'm a Spaulding. We don't give people chances." fires off 
AM as their eyes lock and Alan backs into a chair.

SILENCE

"The biggest mistake I made was listening to Brent Lawrence." states Alan.

"Okay, what did he say?" questions AM, leaning over the desk, "Exactly."

"He said you were running this company into the ground." says Alan gamely.

"And you believed this scum, this rapist, over your own son, is that it?" 
demands AM, leaning further over the desk, right in Alan's face.

"I didn't know that then." states Alan. "Lucy hadn't said anything about 
it. I did not trust him. I did not like him. Not on a boat, not with a 
goat, not in the rain, not on a train, not in a tree, not in a car, you 
let me be! I did not like him in a box. I did not like him with a fox. I 
did not like him in a house. I did not like him with a mouse. I did not 
like him here or there. I did not like him ANYWHERE!" states Alan, 
slipping into Theodor Geisel for a moment. (Ten bonus TV trivia points to 
anyone who knows why this brings to mind Rev. Jessee Jackson!) "I did not 
trust him, I did not like him but I thought it was prudent that I follow 
up on these charges."

"But when you found out about the rape," inturrupts AM "then you thought 
to yourself 'fine, great, even better'?"

Al: "How could you think such a..."

AM: (shouting) "You *KNEW* that it would distract me from running this 
company. You knew it and you used it."

Al: "Not true."

AM: " The MINUTE my focus was shifted you were laying your groundwork for 
BOUNCING me out of this company!"

Alan then expertly tries to twist things around saying that he didn't 
want Alan Michael out he just wanted AM to *NEED* him and ask for his 
advice. AM smiles and settles back into his chair to listen to his 
father's diatribe. AM claims that he did seek Alan's counsel but 
Alan says that AM shut him out the moment he became president because Alan 
made the unpardonable mistake of falling for Tangie and that AM couldn't take 
it. AM can't believe that Alan is trying to make this about him and smiles at 
the pathetic attempt that Alan is making to save his butt. AM says that Alan 
is a smooth talker but he's not talking his way out of this one. Alan 
stammers that he doesn't want to talk his way out, he's always wanted them to 
be honest with each other. This pushes Alan-Michael over the edge. He 
leaps out of his chair and practically over the desk so that he's almost 
nose-to-nose with Alan and shouts:

"You want honesty? Allright, let's get to it. Right now!" (very slowly and 
deliberately) "*WHY* did you hide Brent's body after the shooting? *WHY* 
did you let me believe that I'd killed a man?" 

DEAD SILENCE, close up on Alan's face...

"I didn't want the truth to come out because we were making progress, 
son. I didn't want anything to stop us." says Alan.

Alan-Michael hangs his head and shakes it in disbelief and then looks 
Alan in the face and says "You have got an answer for everything, don't 
you?"

Alan admits to engaging in the cover-up saying that at first he thought 
Brent was dead and then when Cassie showed up and he discovered Brent was 
alive he had a choice to make, either kill him or run him out of the 
country and since he couldn't kill a man in cold blood (what's stopping 
you this time?) he chose to help him get away so he couldn't hurt AM or 
Lucy ever again. AM asks if he's telling him everything and Alan swears 
that he is. AM says that if there is one thing that Alan omitted it's 
over between the two of them. Alan swears that he's told him the whole 
truth just as Cassie Lawrence barges in demanding to know where the money 
is that Alan promised she and Brent. Alan Michael looks up and says: "Yes 
father, what about the money?"

HALFTIME!!

WHOOPS, DIDN'T I MENTION THE BRIEFCASE FULL OF CASH, SON?
"This wouldn't be one of those darned omissions, whould it dad?" asks AM 
of a stammering Alan who tries to pass his transgressions off on a psycho
Cassie who is berating him for backing out of their deal. AM sees that 
there was a payoff planned and Alan claims that the money was necessary 
to ensure that the Lawrences could make a fresh start and stay away. 
Cassie calls him a liar and says the money was offered from the start to 
get Brent to do his dirtywork. Cassie shrieks that Brent thought it was a 
fortune but didn't know it would cost him his life. Alan says that the 
only reason Brent was offered any money was because he was blackmailing 
him. AM says that the only way that blackmail works is if you have 
something that you're desperate to hide (shoots that honesty theory all to 
hell, eh, Al?) Alan-Michael says that it's 10 times worse than Alan's 
admitted and accuses him of being into it up to his eyeballs. Cassie 
tells them to fight it out later that she doesn't give a damn about 
either of them and demands her money. Alan refuses to "reward" her for 
her "lies" but AM whippes out his checkbook and writes her a check 
apologising for his father's role in the whole thing and promising that 
the truth will come out. Alan and Alan-Michael glare at each other as she 
leaves.

CATCHING A BUZZ!!
The elder Mr. Cooper is ranting about Alanspaulding (all one word) being 
just as guilty as Brent Lawrence is because he masterminded the whole 
thing. Lucy is telling Buzz to calm down, "You losing your 
temper has *NEVER* helped anything." says Lucy. Frank and Eleni encourace 
Buzz to let the police handle things and Buzz scoffs saying how dimwitted 
the police are and what a poor job they do. Frank tries to defend the 
police and his chosen profession but Buzz goes on and on about what 
morons they are. (I'd like to hear him debate with Harley and Mallett on 
the subject!) Lucy stands and says she has to go to work (two people have 
already come into AM's office unannounced this morning!) Buzz tells her 
to go make more millions for the Spauldings and Lucy says she's doing it 
for Alan-Michael. She tells Buzz to stop his tyrade and asks them to tell 
AM that she had to make one stop and then she'll be there. Buzz looks 
reflective.

"I WAS WRONG." "NO, I WAS WRONG." "IT WAS MY FAULT." "NO, IT WAS MINE." "I 
REALLY LOVE YOU." "I REALLY, REALLY LOVE YOU." "I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY..." 
Blake confesses to Ross that she was jealous of Dinah and how much Ross 
loved her. Ross says that he loves her more than he could possibly love 
anyone else in the whole world...including his own daughter. Blake says 
she loves him so much that there aren't words to describe it and they 
embrace. Ross says he was a fool and Blake says it was her fault. Ross 
calls Dinah a selfish, spoiled brat and says that she needs to learn the 
consequences of her actions. Blake says she thinks that Dinah has and 
Ross says time will tell and that Dinah will never come between them 
again. Blake says the same goes for Roger, whose faults she's been blind 
to as well. They make a pact to not allow Roginah to come between them. 
Ross lifts Blake into the air and says "Oh honey, now I know we're gonna' 
make it!"

ROGINAH ALERT!
Roger tries to convince Dinah that she needs to prove to her family that 
she's trustworthy and the best way to do that is go be a good little 
office gal at Lewis Oil. Dinah laments that she hates everything to do 
with petroleum and would rather work as a model or in an art botique. 
Roger says that while that's all fine and good she needs to be where her 
mother is to convince her. He offers to help her with Vanessa and with 
learning the ropes at Lewis. Rog says she needs to bite the bullet and 
punch the time clock "It's what the simple folk do." "The last thing I am 
is simple." says Dinah. Roger agrees and reiterates how important it is 
for her to become Van's right hand woman because this isn't about what 
Dinah wants but how to protect her cute little behind. Rog again offers 
to give her a hand and Dinah says that he always knows how to make her 
feel better as she pulls his robe off and kisses him passionately.

SPRINGFIELD PD
Tangie says that wether or not Alan goes to prison shouldn't influence 
her decision and Patrick says a jury would have to convict first. Cutter 
wonders if maybe Alanspaulding (one word) has done something to hurt 
Tangie. Tangie says that he made her a fool when he asked her to believe 
him and she did. She says that that hurt her more than anything else in 
her life.

IT'S AN OLD SONG WITH A BAD TUNE AND LOUSY LYRICS...
Alan tells AM he should never have given Cassie Lawrence a check and AM 
says Brent earned it. Alan asks AM if he won't even try to see his side. 
AM says he won't make any allowances for Alan because Alan never did for 
him. Alan asks AM to try to understand and AM says he understands that 
Alan betrayed him after AM allowed himself to love and trust him again. 
"You stood up in that board meeting and you defended me against 
allegations that you planted yourself. You made me believe that I 
mattered to you more than that damn company!" AM says with disgust.

"You do son. I love you more than anything." 

"No, no..." inturrupts AM "It's an old song with a bad tune and lousy 
lyrics."

"How will I ever get you to believe me?" asks Alan.

"You know, Brent couldn't have hurt us nearly as much if you didn't help 
him? " asks AM stonily, "In my book, you're worse than he is."

"How dare you say that to me?" demands Alan, "I'm your father!"

"Not anymore. I want you gone." says AM, holding back tears, "I want you 
out of this company and out of my *LIFE*!!" (Very emotionally charged, 
tears well up in his eyes and threaten to spill.)

"You're wrong." says Alan, as he turns to leave, "It won't be long before 
you see that." Alan slams the door behind him and AM's tears spill. He 
closes his eyes and gathers himself a little then opens his office door 
to watch his father leave. AM wipes a tear from his eye and the elevator opens
up. Buzz is there to meet Alan and shouts "You lousy son of a..." as he hits 
him with a right cross, knocking him to the floor. 

SPRINGFIELD FUNERAL HOME, WHERE THE LIVING GRIEVE AND THE DEAD LEAVE!
Lucy walks in to where Brent's casket is wearing a  mannish black 
pantsuit (complete with white shirt and paisley tie, her hair slicked 
back into a tight bun.) She looks at the 8 X 10 Black & White glossy on 
the casket that was obviously provided to the GL publicity people by this 
guy's agent. She touches a shaky hand to the casket and looks up at the 
sound of approaching footsteps. Of course, it's Cassie Lawrence who 
glares at her and says "Why don't you let my brother rest in peace?"

(Commercial)

Lucy pulls back from the casket and Cassie asks her why she's there. Lucy 
says that she had to come and Cassie wonders if it's to gloat because she 
finally got what she wanted.

"No." states Lucy firmly.

"You cried rape and now my brother's dead." weeps Cassie, "He was 24 
years old and he's dead because of you and your friends and your family."

"That's not true!" Lucy retorts emphatically.

"Oh, you think he brought this on himself?" asks Cassie

"Listen," says a shaky Lucy "I didn't come here to make you feel bad. 
None of this is your fault."

"Gee thanks." says Cassie sarcastically

"I don't even know why I came, actually." says Lucy, shaking her head.

"Well, it wasn't to express your sympathy." states Cassie, "You weren't 
his friend, you didn't know him."

"This isn't such a good idea." says Lucy as she turns to try to leave.

Cassie then goes into a long diatribe about how their parents died when 
they were little and their grandparents died soon after. She explains how 
they raised each other and Brent protected her. She explains how they 
went through all the good times and bad times together and that there 
were a lot of bad times. She says that they shared everything, their 
hopes and dreams, and that Brent's dream was about to come true. She 
explains that Brent was her only remaining family and that now that he's 
dead she's all alone and has nothing. (What about the check from AM?)

"I'm sorry." mutters an uncomfortable Lucy with amazing self control.

"Yeah, sure ya' are." scoffs Cassie

"Alan Michael told me that Brent asked for my forgiveness," offers Lucy, 
"I wasn't sure that I could ever forgive him. I'm sure it's going to take 
time but I'll try."

"Oh, well aren't you just a little bit too generous?!?" weeps Cassie "And a 
whole lot too late!"

As Lucy finally starts to walk away Cassie grabs her arm and says "Hey! I 
know why you came! You wanted to make sure he was really dead! Why don't 
we just open up the casket and pinch him to make sure?"

"NO!" shouts Lucy shaking her off, "Just don't, allright? Listen, I'm 
sorry that you're in pain but you know what? I'm in pain too *BECAUSE* of 
your brother. And I don't doubt that the things that you say are true. 
I'm sure to you that's the way he is but to me he wasn't and he caused me 
a LOT of pain. So much pain that I'm not sure I'm ever going to feel safe 
again. So no, God forgive me, I'm not sorry he's gone.

ROSS & BLAKE'S LOVE NEST
Blake says that she's sort of glad that Frank closed the PI business 
because now they can have all sorts of romantic meals together just like 
they used to when they were first dating. Ross quips that they really 
didn't do a lot of eating when they were first going out and then recalls 
some strawberries in bed once upon a time, strawberries in the limo, 
strawberries in the clothes hamper, in the bar at the top of the towers, 
on his desk....Blake says that when she first fell in love with him it 
was like being hit by a freight train because she wasn't expecting it. 
Ross says how empty he felt when she didn't come home and says how much 
he needs her. "I am never not coming home again." states Blake in a fit 
of double negativity. They kiss and Blake pulls away as if surprised 
saying that she was afraid of having a baby before because she thought 
she couldn't handle it but that she knows now that she can. "I want to 
have your child Ross." They then engage in attempting to make a baby.

(An advil commercial comes on with the old Ed on it...how strange!)

Ross & Blake, covered only by a chair, lie nude on the couch 
contemplating how they may have just conceived their baby. Blake wonders 
if Dinah will mind and Ross says "Who the hell cares?" He reminds her of 
their Roginah pact and then they seal it in...well, baby-making fluids.

SPEAKING OF ROGER AND DINAH...
Roger comes out of his bath dressed which Dinah, lounging in his bed, 
objects to. She suggests that they stay in bed all day making love and 
ordering room service. He says it's not him she's interested in but his 
room service. He says he's late and encourages her to get to work too. She 
asks what he has planned to  convince Van that she's changed and he tells 
her she'll see. He hands her her clothes and tells her he'll call her as 
she gets dressed. She asks for a zip and a kiss and tells him he's a 
"beast" for not kissing her properly. Roger agrees with the analysis and 
sends Dinah on her way. When she's gone he calls Leo (Flynn presumably) 
and tells him that he will soon have a mole inside Lewis Oil.

QUICK! BRING THE RED-HOT POKERS AND THE BATTERY ACID!!!
Tangie is having flashbacks of Alan professing his love to her and 
telling her to trust him. She also recalls them in afterglow and Alan 
telling her that he'll never let her down. Close in on her tear-stained 
face as she sits on a bench at the station.

WARNING!! TESTOSTERONE OVERLOAD!! SEXY, EMOTIOANLLY CHARGED MEN AHEAD!!
Buzz & Alan are engaged in hand-to-hand combat outside AM's office as he 
merely looks on. They are really going at it and Buzz is calling Alan 
scum saying "It was you!" 

"What the hell's the matter with you, Cooper?" demands Alanspaulding (one 
word.) as his head bounces off Lucy's desk. Just then, the elevator doors 
slide open and Patrick Cutter charges in, seperating the pair. 
Alanspaulding demands that Cutter arrest Buzz on the spot for assault. 
Cutter says "The only one arrested is going to be you, Mr. Spaulding. I 
have a warrant for your arrest for obstructing justice, aiding and 
abetting a fugitive. You have the right to remain silent...." 

As Alanspaulding is read his miranda rights he looks over his shoulder at 
Alan Michael who is standing, stone faced watching the scene. The screen 
fades to black...

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!

Sorry this is so late! I had family staying w/ me from out of state all 
last week and have been pecking away at this update for days! I promise 
to be more timely this week!
