Well, what do you know?

I guess we just got back together.

If that's what you want.

Well, I got a plane to catch in a few hours.

Come on, let's get out of this place.

If it's what I want.

What?

We're getting back together if it's what I want.

Well, sure.

Well, not that it matters or anything, but you're the one who's been doing all

the chasing lately.

Sorry.

I don't know what I'm saying. Just ignore me. Don't I always?

Yeah, let's go.

And anyway, you've done a lot more of the chasing than I have, if we're being

strictly accurate.

What? I just thought I'd mention that so we can close the subject completely on

a truthful and honest note.

I can't believe we're about to have an argument this stupid.

Me neither.

So you agree I'm right?

Linda, do you have to win even when it's something this dumb?

What are you saying?

I've won. And by the way, while I was chasing you, I was also dating other

women. So that kind of alters the picture a bit. Why?

Well, you've got to deduct the time I was with other women from the total

I was chasing you.

Otherwise, you just don't get an accurate figure. That's ridiculous.

Look, the point is, you've been chasing me longer than I've been chasing you in

real terms.

I've got a calendar here. Let's start talking precise dates.

Suits me.

You know, we waste a lot of oxygen fighting, boss.

This time it's going to be different.

It's got to be.

Apart from anything else, I'm running out of lousy things to say about you.

I suppose I might eventually, too.

I'd better get going.

Sure.

You'll be okay.

And back before you know it.

I'll be waiting.

Probably behind the door with a blunt instrument.

That'll be your sense of humor.

I mean it, Linda.

This time it's going to be different.

Hasn't been so far.

Well, look at it this way.

We already know the worst stuff about each other, so why could split us up

What worst stuff? I'm serious, Linda.

Think about it.

Why could split us up now?

Oh, hello, Tom. It's Catherine.

Oh, no, no, no. Everything's fine.

I wondered, could you give me the address of the Junior Gazette office,

Colin?

Has anyone seen Colin?

No.

Room service.

Windows, eh?

Can't live with them. Can't live with them.

Am I right?

I'll just check out the situation glass -wise.

Where? Sir?

You said room service. You didn't see anything about windows.

Well, I didn't want to start a panic, sir.

Have you seen Colin? We've got trouble.

He went off with Fraz, I think.

Do you know you've got a visitor?

What?

Look, we've got to stop Colin. I told you at the start, I want nothing to do

with this.

Sarah!

So, wait for the windows here, yeah? And you want to check them?

That's right, sir.

I'm the hotel's window man.

Board of breading windows, as a matter of fact.

Yeah, that's just your basic unit with a standard look -through facility.

I love those.

What do they need checking for?

They're only windows.

Oh, that's real civilian talk, sir.

He's closed the blind again.

Ah, could we leave that blind up, sir?

Why?

Well,

it's hard to explain to a layman.

What's going on?

Who's this idiot?

I don't know. He was here when I arrived.

I never approved the plan.

Well, you didn't tell him to light one end and shove it someplace.

From you at the end.

I had to consider it, Julie. Did you see the sales figures last month? I didn't

see anything that said, Gus, the journalism starts here. Well, obviously

didn't look hard enough.

We haven't made our targets for two months running.

And if all it takes is a few candid snaps of a visiting celebrity to up our

sales, then I personally am willing to go that far.

Oh, so that's why you're so happy.

Well, the theory was good.

So what's gone wrong?

Everything. We've got to stop calling.

I'm sorry, we've got a bit of a crisis. I'll get you as soon as I can.

That's fine. Linda Day?

Yeah. Catherine Hill.

I'll get you in a moment, Catherine.

You'll find all the details in there.

I don't need all this.

You do, I'm afraid. I just elected you in charge of the problem.

Susan.

She's good.

But you still haven't explained exactly why the windows need checking.

Ah, now, before I get into that, sir, and it is very technical, can I just say

how much the wife and I have enjoyed your acting?

We don't watch television much, except for documentaries and the appeals about

the orphans. But whenever you're on... What is wrong with the windows?

There's too many of them, sir.

Too many?

Oh! Far too many windows on this level, sir.

You see, when you get too many windows in a row like that, it's kind of like a

perforation. Now, the next strong wind, the old building could come tearing

along this floor.

But don't alarm yourself, sir.

It's not a danger.

Yet. Just as long as I keep checking that the windows aren't spreading.

Can you get him over to the window with you? He's way out of frame at the

moment.

Would you mind moving a bit closer, please, sir?

Why?

I'm a bit deaf.

Then why don't you take a step closer to me?

Pardon?

Look, maybe if we just went over to the window for a moment, I could explain

this a bit better.

Newton, deal with this.

Colin, where's he gone? Is he in the bedroom?

Is that the bedroom through there?

Hey, that would be a good idea, a shot in the bedroom.

Where is he?

The toilet.

Oh, even better.

What?

Sorry, I'll just check that window.

I need to talk to Colin.

Could you hurry this up, please?

You can't hurry a window.

So you work for the hotel, right?

That's right, sir.

What's your name?

Colin.

Julie.

Julie.

Yeah, Julie. That's right, sir. And you are?

Newton. Unusual name. Order's from Linda, Colin.

Get out of there immediately. The whole thing's been scrapped.

Something wrong?

Did you hear me, Colin?

Out of there immediately.

I'm sensing I'm having a problem with this window, sir.

Just get on with it, OK?

Sure, fine.

He wants to know why.

I'll tell you when you get over here.

No.

Look, this is an emergency. Get out of there.

Definitely nope.

Colin, John Hartwood has taken three national newspapers to court for

of privacy.

Do you want the same thing to happen to us?

Go for the throat, Julie.

This could cost us a great deal of money, Colin.

Ha! Say it again.

If John Hartwood finds out who you are and what you're up to, we couldn't even

cover the legal fees.

Are you still here?

No.

Well, yes, yes, obviously I am still here, but I was intending to leave so

I didn't think it was worth mentioning, sir.

Oh, here I go now.

Just a moment.

No, I really must go, sir, there's an emergency window.

I told reception that on no account was I to be disturbed, so let me give you a

little message for them.

Is he going?

Hart was talking to him.

Oh, he's got to get out of there.

So you tell your damn manager that if there's any more interruptions, any more

window checks, I will pack my bags and I will get the hell out of here. And I

happen to think that my custom is a little more valuable than any more

checks.

Looks like someone's at the door.

What?

It can't be.

What's wrong?

That's who I think it is.

Judy Wellman?

She used to work on a paper and now she's just turned up in Hartwood Suite.

Does she know Colin? Would she recognise him?

They dated. Does that answer your question?

So why don't you go downstairs and tell them all I'm about to go through their

damn roof?

Finished, sir?

Yeah. I'll go and tell them straight away.

Don't open that door.

Judy Wellman's in the other room. That girl you had dinner with, remember?

Will you get out?

Please get out. Stay where you are. Get out.

Don't move.

Yes.

It's Miss Wellman here, sir.

Right, thanks.

Newton, will you throw this guy out so it hurts?

Of course, sir. Look, Jude is staring out the window. Move fast. It could be

your best shot.

I'm OK, thanks. I'll manage.

John? Close call.

She's at the window again. Go.

John, can you get through here and talk to me, please?

Colin Hyde. Hartwood's coming in.

I'll be with you in a moment, Judy. I've just got to talk to Newton.

The door.

Colin, she's looking right at you. Just stay where you are.

Let me see.

He's behind the door.

Colin, if they find you sneaking around when they think you've gone, that's even

worse. I think he knows that.

Make sure apologies and get out. Maybe she won't recognise you.

Did you forget a date with Colin?

I try.

I mean it, Colin. It's your only shot. They're bound to... find you.

Colin, come on!

Our annual budget wouldn't cover the legal fees. That's not exaggeration

that's fact.

If they find you, the paper's finished.

Colin!

Hello?

Linda, it's Julie for you.

Hello, Catherine Hill?

Julie, how's it going? What?

What?

This is ridiculous.

That's totally unacceptable.

Behind a door?

What's going on over there? I don't want to hear any excuses.

You tell him to sort this out by morning or set him on fire.

Who's Judy Wellman?

Never mind that. Look, you just tell that little creep if he lands us in

over this, I'll sell him to a glue factory. I've told you I don't want to

any excuses.

Julie, I don't want to know. I put you in charge of this problem. Next time I

hear from you, be telling me how you solved it. What's the matter with you

people? You need me to hang over you every second?

Look, when I get back to the office tomorrow, I expect the situation to be

resolved. A lot of happy faces and nothing unpleasant waiting for me in my

-tray. And heaven help you guys if I notice the slightest bit of tension in

office.

She's good.

Hi.

Do I know you?

Why do you ask?

Well, you kind of remind me of someone.

That's entirely possible.

Sorry, was I supposed to see you today or something?

I'm a bit slack about that kind of thing.

Me too. No, no, this is a strictly surprise visit.

So what can I do for you?

I suppose I want to talk to you about your future.

We can go over there and fix up some kind of distraction.

It'd be just as likely to expose him as to get him out.

So what are his chances of getting out alone?

Well, remember, we're not just relying on Colin's cool head here, but his

courage and common sense.

Give me a bright side.

His natural loyalty to friends and colleagues.

We're in trouble up to our necks, aren't we?

Trouble is one word for it.

Maybe we can go over so there's been a misunderstanding and really grovel. What

do you think?

Save it for the judge.

Colin, Hartwood's coming in.

I suppose we've got a lot to talk about.

Can't we do this in private?

Good idea.

I certainly don't want the press getting hold of this little item.

Oh, no.

Judy, look at me.

No.

Please.

Satisfied? This is unreal.

Okay, so tell me who this guy Colin Matthews is.

He's just a guy I had dinner with once.

And you're still hung up on him?

He's the only guy that's ever told me to get lost.

So we're splitting up because of some guy you knew before we even met?

We're splitting up for lots of reasons.

He's just one.

I'm sorry.

I just can't get him out of my mind.

It's like he's everywhere.

What time are we due at Max's?

Where is he now?

He's under a coffee table.

The solution seems pretty simple to me.

Simple? Your problem is when this guy Colin is found, then it'll blow the

whistle on the paper, right?

Right.

So you've got to get yourself some proof that he acted alone. For starters,

write a letter forbidding him to do this, backdate it and stick it on his

That's pretty ruthless.

Yeah. Thought you'd like it.

Look, he acted without your authorisation, right?

Well, I suppose.

So he put a hole in the boat, you seem to plug it.

Sarah, I want you to draft me a letter.

I heard.

Is it an order?

Yes.

So what line of work did you say you were in?

I didn't.

I'm in publishing.

Different kind of editor.

Oh, I don't know.

I never realised how comforting it was that there was only one of her.

Why do you suppose she's here?

Pretty good at evading that question, isn't she?

So, where do I find this Colin Matthews? Why? Because I'm going to kill him. He

is currently top of my personal hit list.

Well, him and a little guy who measures windows.

Jordan, you're pathetic.

Thanks.

Do you mind if I use your bathroom?

Hello again, sir.

Newton!

Where is he, sir?

He's under the table.

He was under the table.

He was measuring it, like he did the windows.

To check if it was spreading, sir?

He was there.

Perhaps we ought to cancel Max's.

I've been working too hard, right?

Maybe I should go and have a lie down.

Colin, the wardrobe.

Good timing, champ.

You're kidding me. No, absolutely not.

I'll tell you something, he never gave me that problem again.

No, he didn't. I should be taking notes here. Feel free.

This is all very pleasant, but I haven't told you why I'm here yet, have I?

Something to do with my future.

Oh, very much to do with your future.

You can't quite believe you've given up so much of your time without my coming

to the point, can you?

The way you keep telling me what I'm thinking's got me going, too. I know.

Look, I'm expecting someone soon who'll make all this a lot clearer.

I think I can feel a migraine coming on.

So take something.

Lie down.

Look, I've got to go, John. There's no point in this.

You don't understand, Judy. This has been a rough year for me.

I'm not going to get the speech about the pressure of media attention again,

I? Oh, this is going to be a hell of a migraine.

Sorry. I'm not big on sympathy today.

Look, I'm going.

Newton's downstairs at reception.

He said he'd be about half an hour.

Take the time and get some sleep.

Where's my cape? I'll get it.

Judy, could you check if there's a man in my wardrobe?

A what?

Please.

doing here?

A story.

Judy, you've got to get me out of here. Don't let him see me again.

Please.

Judy?

Well?

There's no one there, John.

I'm going mad.

Of course you're not. You're just getting one of your headaches, that's

Yeah, but I'm seeing things.

Well, you'd better lie down then.

This doesn't feel like one of my normal ones.

Where's that eye mask that you use when you've got one of your migraines? Ah,

don't need it. That's it to help me sleep.

It'll certainly stop you from seeing things.

Here we go.

We've still got a lot to talk about, you know.

Not right now.

Why don't I come back later if you want?

Okay.

Judy!

Let go of my hand, John.

I've got to go.

You promise you will come back?

I promise.

Now let go.

Sit by me a moment.

No.

Oh, Judy, come on. All right, all right. Just don't take your mask off or you

might start seeing things again.

When are you going to come round again?

Soon. I promise. Now can I go?

I just don't want to think that I might never get the chance of seeing you

again. No, keep it on.

I don't want you to look at me.

I think I've got a spot coming.

Okay.

So long as you give me a kiss.

Oh, Judy.

I don't want to lose you.

You don't understand how difficult it's been.

Hello, sir.

What's he doing here?

What's he doing here?

Him.

I don't see anyone.

I do.

It'll pass.

That's what I did to my last boyfriend.

Are you sure you want to be the next?

No. Good.

Main requirement.

Excuse me.

I thought your plane didn't get in till tomorrow.

This morning. I came back early.

So how did it go?

It was a funeral, Linda.

They're never that great.

But it all went off without a hitch, yeah?

Well, he stayed dead to the end, yeah.

Are you okay?

Hi. Hi.

You two know each other?

Well, a long time ago.

We met again at my dad's funeral.

Come on, boss. Give it your best guess.

This is my mother.
