You know who that is?

She looks familiar.

Isn't she the woman who writes all those
juicy bestsellers?

No, but you sure can't squeeze the juice
out of a baby grand.

Diana Renard.

We cabled Mr. Danning from Vienna.

Yes, we've had the piano installed in
your suite, and we've even remembered to

have it tuned.

Everything's been taken care of. There's
also a message for you, Miss Renard.

Thank you.

Good news?

An old friend.

Dave, just show Miss Renard to the
Versailles suite.

Right this way.

I don't think anyone plays Mozart as
well as you do, Miss Renard.

I haven't received a compliment like
that since I left Juilliard.

Anthony, as soon as we get up...
Anthony?

Anthony? This is a nice unit.

Ergonomically sound.

It's your number two mainframe.

What's the hard disk capacity?

What? It's economically sound.

Ergonomically.

Are you running an expanded memory?

Only if they give me a raise.

You really should be more careful with
these access codes.

Anthony.

Hey, this place has a system just like
the one in your office, Dad.

Happy to hear it. Only the next time you
decide to wander off, send me a readout

first. Okay.

All this overtime.

There's got to be a way to cut back.

Well, that's what these new figures are
about. If we take on seven more

housekeepers, we can eliminate most of
the overtime charges and still cut costs

by 6 .5%. Good morning, Miss Francis.
Mr. McDermott.

Well, somebody's in a good mood.

Sure am.

Notice anything new?

You got a haircut?

No, I think he shaved his beard. Oh,
come on, guys, be serious.

You happen to be looking at the Bay
Area's latest Good Samaritan. Now, I

want to blow my own horn. No. Maybe I
do.

Anyway, while driving into work this
morning, I saw this creep snatch a

purse. Didn't even think about it. I
just took off after him.

Mark, that's very dangerous.

Well, I guess I saw red.

Anyway, I caught up to him just as a
patrol car came by.

And this woman was so happy to get her
purse back, she wants me to marry her

daughter.

So, do I look like a hero or what? I
don't know.

What do you think, Christine?

I kind of liked him better with the
beard.

Yeah.

Oh, where do you want those?

How

was

I? You always did have great technique.

There you go.

Thank you. Oh, thank you. And good luck,
Miss Renard.

Thank you.

Russ McMullen, Harriet Smith.

How do you do?

Hello. Russ and I went to Juilliard
together.

Oh. And Harriet and I suffer through
many drafty concert halls and dingy

impresarios.

It's quite a combination.

But then again, it's been quite a
career.

You look wonderful, Diana.

I have some calls to make. It was a
pleasure meeting you, Mr. McMullen.

Thank you.

I got your note.

Well, I should have called first, but I
was just a few blocks away and... God,

it's good to see you.

I had no idea that you and Stephanie
were living in San Francisco.

Yeah, we have now for six years now.

How is she?

And the baby must be in high school by
now. Well, Steph, Steph's terrific.

Great.

Oh, listen, I don't want to keep you.
You probably got a lot to do. I mean, I

just stopped by to say hello anyway.

Why don't we get together tonight?

Dinner? Yes.

I'm way ahead of you.

I already made reservations.

Seeing you again, it's funny.

It's like nothing's changed.

Yeah. Only everything has, huh?

But it wasn't until the police took my
statement that I realized the guy could

have been armed.

Weren't you scared?

I didn't really have time to be. When I
saw him grab her purse, I just reacted.

Well, most people would have stood there
and let the guy get away.

You know, Mr. Danning, you're pretty
terrific.

And you weren't too bad yourself.

You know something else? I don't think
we should wait any longer.

Maybe we should give it a little more
time, Jill.

We've only known each other a couple of
months.

And I already know everything I need to
know about you.

Besides, living together isn't a
commitment like marriage. It's more like

practice run.

The truth is, I don't think I'd make a
very good roommate.

And how do you know if you've never
lived with anyone?

Excuse me, Mark Danning?

Yes. Stu Benson, San Francisco Mirror.

Oh, how do you do?

Do you mind if I ask a few questions?

I got a whiff of what you did this
morning.

It smelled like a rose, which, by any
other name, means a human interest

Do you mind?

No.

So...

Tell me about yourself.

Let's see.

Chapter one. It all began in a one -room
schoolhouse in Lake Forest, Illinois.

Sure, Bob. No problem. See you then.

Ready to go, Dad?

Something's come up.

What about the Warriors game?

I'm sorry. The client had to reschedule.

But you promised.

Anthony, it's business.

When it's not business, you're always
too busy anyway.

How's this new game? Interesting?

I already beat it.

You're going to be a real hacker, aren't
you?

Try not to be too late. Order room
service if you get hungry.

It's business.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

Yeah, I'd like a double cheeseburger,
chili, fries, a vanilla shake, and a

couple of freeze -dried space shuttle
bars.

Space shuttle bars?

The kind the astronauts eat?

Well, can't you send out for them?

Then just send out the other stuff.

You'd think a fancy place like this
would have everything you wanted.

They will now.

Accept it.

To old friends and beautiful women.

And talented women, too.

Thank you, darling.

Well, marriage really has its
advantages. You two look wonderful.

And you're running a little gift shop.

That must be fun.

In between running my family.

To tell you the truth, it was sheer luck
that we made it here tonight.

Yeah.

Car trouble. No, the babysitter canceled
at the last minute, but luckily our

neighbor came over.

Babysitter? Don't you have a 15 -year
-old by now?

No, Kimberly was just five a month ago.

I don't understand.

Well, Steph had a miscarriage just so
long ago.

I'm sorry. I wish I'd... I wish you'd
told me.

Why?

You'd gone off to Europe.

I didn't see any reason to drag our
misfortune across the ocean.

I was your best friend.

Oh, is that why we haven't heard from
you in all these years?

Now, ladies, please, please. I mean,
this is a reunion. It's not a rematch.

Well, what difference does it make
anyway?

As long as we're all happy.

And we are.

Aren't we?

Mom. Calling it a night.

Oh, we were just on our way over. You
have any plans?

Jill's waiting downstairs.

What they call perfect timing.

In appreciation for services rendered.

Above and beyond the call of duty.

Not to mention the good PR that comes
from having a resident hero.

Mrs. Cabot has hereby ordered a night on
the town. Yeah?

Her treat.

We did that pretty well.

It's called teamwork.

No, it's called a double date.

You all will come to my rehearsal
tomorrow, won't you?

Kidding, absolutely.

If you don't think we'll get in the way.
Oh, don't be silly.

Besides, Russ used to be great at giving
constructive criticism.

I've been listening to your recordings,
and I don't think he's going to have

much to criticize.

Thank you.

I've put aside two tickets for opening
night.

There's a gala afterward.

Oh, that's going to be a problem for me.
Sorry.

I'll let you in on a little secret. I
need a double life.

Mild -mannered musicologist by day, but
wild -eyed jasmine at night.

Excuse me.

You are enjoying this, aren't you?

Why don't you?

This is beneath him, playing in a piano
bar.

He had more potential than anyone I
knew.

Everyone can't grow up to be a famous
concert pianist. But he could have.

Maybe he didn't want to.

Or maybe other kinds of responsibilities
got in the way.

He likes what he does.

And I'm feeling terribly jet -lagged.

Excuse me.

You don't have to worry about Russ.

He's happy.

That's the second time you've said that
tonight.

You want to join me? We used to play
great duets.

I wish we still did.

This guy was running like hell. I've
never seen anybody run so fast in their

life, especially when he turned around
and saw that I was following him. He

really turned on the speed, and then my
adrenaline was pumped.

So I just... Mark Danny?

Yes, I'm Mark Danny.

Inspector Matsuoka, San Francisco Police
Department.

Well, they want to give me a medal.

You mean you're not getting the key to
the city?

Oh. I have a warrant from the state of
New York for your arrest and

What are you talking about?

Well, you are kidding, aren't you?

Please put your hands behind your back.

Hey, what's going on here?

I must be sick.

What am I being arrested for?

Felonious assault with a deadly weapon.

I thought Mrs. Cabot would never find a
judge.

Well, I'll have to thank her in the
morning.

That still isn't going to clear up what
happened tonight.

Who did they say you assaulted, anyway?
Some girl I went out with when I lived

in New York.

Who I never heard of before.

Why didn't you tell them that? Well, I
did. I kept telling Masioka that he had

the wrong man, and he kept telling me to
look for the right attorney.

Well, it's late, and we're all tired.

It's a terrific night this turned out to
be.

Come on, there'll be plenty of others.

Try sorting this out in the morning with
the help of a lawyer.

Margaret Blade.

You have a big day tomorrow.

Yeah, I have a lot to look forward to.

Talk about being stupid. I should never
have gotten involved or drawn attention

to myself.

What are you talking about?

Well, the mugging.

If I hadn't butted in, my name never
would have popped up on some damned

investigation report.

Well, what difference does it make if
you're innocent?

What do you mean, if I'm innocent?

Well, you know what I mean.

Well, you lived in New York. They have
your name, your description.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but...
What if it's not? Isn't that what

you're thinking?

You're so sure that I'm innocent, you're
already doubting me.

Maybe you'll be bitter if I went home.

Yeah, maybe you should.

Margaret, you're devastated.

She's handled it pretty well, all things
considered.

Assault with a deadly weapon.

There's got to be a logical explanation.

Well, if there is, it saluted the
police.

Did Mrs. Cabot mention any menu changes
to you?

I don't recall what.

Claude is pacing the kitchen wondering
what to do with ten gross space shuttle

bars that were delivered first thing
this morning.

Oh!

People really eat them? I think you have
to be in orbit to appreciate the taste.

Zeon the Magnificent?

Hey, Julie, take a look at this.

Oh, what happened?

I guess you can't pin a good Zeon down.

Megan, Julie?

What?

Hey.

I, uh, heard about your little problem.

Then you already know it's a case of
mistaken identity.

You want to fill in the rest of the
blanks for me? There aren't any.

I've never filtered anyone, period.

I'm glad to hear it, because, you know,
if there's one thing the public hates,

it's a tarnished hero.

You want to keep your reputation intact,
don't you?

Of course.

Good, because the press can be the next
best thing to a helping hand.

Yeah?

You have to leave in a few minutes.

I'll meet you downstairs.

Oh, come in. Thank you.

Oh, it used to bring us good luck.

You never forget anything, including
moral support.

I'm sorry about last night. I spoke out
of turn.

You were tired.

And let's face it, after 15 years, it's
hard knowing what to talk about.

Well, hello and how are you is usually a
good start.

I'm doing fine.

And you?

A little nervous about the concert?

It's my West Coast debut.

And it's going to be great.

You say that with such assurance.

Well... I've heard all your records.

And I hear the ambition in your voice.

I used to hear it in Russ's voice.

And yours, too.

Not really.

My only ambition was to spend my life
with him.

Well, then, you've reached your goal.

Has he?

Well, he loves his work.

His students think he's terrific.

Teaching young musicians is a constant
challenge.

And spending his nights in a piano bar?

What kind of a challenge is that? All
that talent wasted.

Why?

Because he enjoys what he's doing. How
many people can say that?

People who settle for second best.

Russ didn't. Then why are you raising
your voice?

Because you're making it sound like it's
my fault.

Is it? Of course not.

Russ did exactly what Russ wanted to.

Including marrying you after you got
pregnant.

You think I trapped him, don't you?

You just said it.

That's not fair.

Why?

You weren't the only one in love.

But I was the only one he chose.

What?

Fifteen years ago...

I got pregnant.

I had a miscarriage.

It was a lie.

Come on.

I lied to you, Russ, because I was so
afraid I was going to lose you to her,

I made the whole thing up.

A marriage is a lie?

Our life together?

You let me throw away my future because
you were jealous. I loved you.

It wasn't love. That was envy.

I wasn't jealous. Diana had everything.
Looks, talent, and ambition, and you

couldn't bear it.

You had to get the better of it. Didn't
manage to use me to get there.

It didn't have anything to do with that,
Russ.

I... Russ...

Well,

I'll say this about your secret admirer.

When he does something, he does it big.

You want to tell me who Zeon the
Magnificent really is?

I already told you, Dave. I have no
idea.

The hotel florist couldn't tell me
anything because the order came over...

Because the order came over the
computer, yeah. Uh -huh. So, you're

that story, huh?

Actually, we're having a torrid affair.

Now, can we go home?

Okay.

Uh, Dave, aren't you forgetting
something?

But if you, I'm not allergic.

Byron,

can't you just call New York and talk to
the DA? I already tried. It's not that

easy.

Especially after this came over the
wire.

The police artist sketched the suspect.

As you can see, there is a resemblance.

Okay. Score one for the opposition.

What about witnesses?

Except for the victim, there aren't any.

Why can't I just talk to her a few
minutes on the phone? I'm sure we can

it up. I said the same thing to the New
York police, but they're having

difficulty locating her themselves.

Apparently, she moved since filing the
complaint.

What if she can't testify? How can there
be any case?

There's still an extradition hearing.
Now, that's where we must beat this

You make it sound like I'm already
guilty.

Guilty or innocent, I still have to
defend you.

I can't believe this is happening to me.

I'm afraid it is.

And it's about to get more difficult.

I strongly recommend that he take a
leave of absence.

Must we, Byron?

Victoria, you'll pay my firm a great
deal of money to look after your

The St. Gregory's reputation must not be
further compromised.

At full salary, of course.

And only until Monday's extradition
hearing.

Then... What?

Then we'll see?

I can't predict the... future, Mr.
Denning?

You mean you can't tell me if I get to
choose between the gas chamber or the

electric chair?

Yeah?

It's me, Rod.

I know it's late.

Oh, it's... I've been up studying
scores. Come in.

I just got through, and I thought I'd
stop by.

You want a brandy? I'd love one.

Well, what did you think of the
rehearsal?

What have you said?

You'll do fine.

But I can read between the lines.

You weren't terribly pleased, were you?

Well, I guess I expected more passion.

Fire.

From a woman who spent her life stroking
a keyboard.

You don't expect me to believe you
haven't been involved with anyone.

Oh, I've had lovers.

Never anyone like you.

We weren't really lovers.

We never had the chance.

That was your decision.

No, I didn't decide anything.

Stephanie did it for me.

You could have done anything you wanted
after the miscarriage.

There wasn't any miscarriage.

She was never pregnant.

She told me tonight.

Stay with me tonight.

I can't. Why? You want to?

A fellow employee who asked to remain
anonymous describes Danning as a quiet

loner type. They make me sound like a
mass murderer.

Getting angry isn't going to solve
anything.

Benson lied to me. He told me he wanted
to help and then wrote all that garbage.

Mark, you're hurting me.

I'm sorry, honey.

This isn't me.

They make me sound like a monster and
there's nothing... I can do to stop

No question about it.

The hotel's computer has definitely been
breached.

Any idea how?

The idiosyncrasies of the system prevent
outside tampering.

A modem over the internal phone lines is
the only way.

I thought we had codes to prevent that
sort of thing.

We do, but this is a hotel, not the
Pentagon.

We're a bit more primitive here.

I'm not too crazy about someone tapping
into the computer.

How are you going to find out who's
responsible?

Check the rooms of all the guests who've
registered since the day the system was

breached. Sooner or later, I'll catch up
with them.

I'll make it sooner.

If this thing escalates, we'll all be in
orbit.

Hey, Ben.

There's something to a helping hand.
Isn't that how you put it? You really

it to me, didn't you?

Is this how it happened in New York?
Girl got you so riled that you pulled a

knife out of her, you roughed her up?

You got a real bad temper, Danny. It's
gotten you to trouble once already.

test your luck.

What luck?

This isn't a crap game. It's my life
you're playing with.

That article of yours had no bearing on
reality.

Half -truth, suppositions, and lies. If
you like, we'll sit down. We'll go

through it line by line. Why bother?

When the only line that really counts
is, they got the wrong man.

Really?

Zeon still keeping a low profile? Yep.
So far, 23 guests have assured me their

air conditioning is working perfectly.

They said Mr.

Banning beat her up, threatened her with
a knife.

And he seems so nice, too.

You just never know about people.

If you ask me, ladies, there's nothing
worse than a gossip.

Especially one that doesn't know what
she's talking about.

I was just so angry at her. What were
you feeling guilty about last night?

I don't know why I should.

I'm not the one who spent all those
years living a lie.

You prompted her to tell you the truth
anyway.

We were always competing.

Always trying to outdo one another.

But all of our friends were like that.
We weren't at each other's throats.

Maybe Steph didn't see it that way.

I wish I knew what I wanted.

That's always been my problem.

I mean, it's hard to take a stand when
you don't even know what you stand for.

You used to stand for everything that I
believed in. You were going to be a

great artist.

No, you were.

And you were just dragging me along with
you.

How does it feel?

You mean a success as wonderful as you
imagine?

I thought you finally got what you
wanted from life.

I got a piano.

But you play because you want to.

I mean, nobody's holding a metronome in
your head.

No one's keeping me warm, either.

Russ, tell me something.

If Stephanie hadn't lied about the baby,
who would you have chosen?

Megan Kendall.

Is that all she makes?

How'd you like a nice fat bonus?

Courtesy of Zeon the Magnificent.

How you doing? Is this the prep cut
suite?

Uh -huh. Who are you?

I'm Billy Griffin. I work for the hotel.

You folks around?

Well, my dad had a meeting with a
client, but he'll be back later.

You know, we're running a check on the
air conditioning.

Any problem?

I don't know. I haven't turned it on.

Mind if I give it a try?

Here.

Try one of these.

Space shuttle bars.

Zeon the Magnificent never goes anywhere
without them.

Hi, it's me.

Hello.

Thought you were coming over to help me
celebrate my last night as a free man.

Mark, I think it's better if we don't
see each other for a while.

What brought this on?

Well, you're under a lot of pressure.

And I don't think it's the best thing
for our relationship.

Relationships only work when
everything's smooth sailing. Is that it?

No.

Well, I think we should put things on
hold until you get your legal problems

sorted out.

You know who deserts a sinking ship?

Huh?

Yeah, I figured you'd say that.

Bad Russ couldn't make the party.

Actually, it's better this way.

Oh?

Yes, it gives us a chance to clear the
air.

Doesn't seem smoggy to me.

Really? Then try breathing it where I'm
sitting.

One gin and tonic too many.

You'll feel better in the morning. Good
night.

No, you don't.

Oh, I'm sorry. It was an accident.

Tell her to pause.

You can't have him. He's my husband.

I gave him a child.

Why? Did you get tired of lying about
it?

You are not going to take him away from
me. He needs me.

He needs to test himself. He never has.

You know why you were too busy lying to
him. I love him. The only reason that

you want him is because you never made a
life for yourself.

Well, you can't have my life.

Russ and I were in love once.

You and I were friends once.

Best friends.

Until you tried to steal him away from
me.

He's not your property.

No one can be stolen from someone else,
and he would have left you if you hadn't

pulled your hysterical pregnancy act,
which we all bought, didn't we? And I

would do it again if I had to.

Because you never loved Russ, but you
knew how much I did, and you couldn't

stand it, could you? That's all. I did
love him. I still do.

You love the contest.

You don't love the man.

You see, I understand Russell.

I understand him.

And I know what's right for him.

A nice, quiet little life.

Playing show tunes for some strangers
that aren't even listening.

Stephanie, it's... It's your idea of
happiness.

It's his.

It's his.

Diana, leave him alone.

Maybe he would have gone with you if I
hadn't lied to him.

But I'll tell you something.

Sooner or later, he would have come back
to me.

Just a social call?

I'm having myself a drink. Would you
like to join me?

Mm -hmm.

Here. Two coffees.

Your hearing's tomorrow morning.

Time you sobered up.

To face my terrific future?

You can't let this thing beat you.

We all believe you're innocent. You have
to believe that the system will

vindicate you. Well, let me tell you
about the almighty system.

So far, it's arrested the wrong man,
cost me my girlfriend, and humiliated me

the papers.

And turned your life upside down, I
know.

And you have every right to be angry.
Well, what other rights do I have?

I can't think of any.

Oh, no, no, no. There is one, that the
right to be treated like a common

criminal.

Why,

nobody seems to be listening. I am.

Thanks, Newt Rockne. Now here's one for
the gipper. No, no. Here's one for self

-pity.

Sure, mistakes have been made.

Big ones.

But if you're just going to wallow in
it, who's going to beat this thing?

What if I don't win?

You have to.

You're innocent.

Look, why don't you go home and get some
sleep?

I'll pick you up at nine o 'clock. Make
sure you get to court in one piece.

Now, Mark, do me a favor.

Wear a clean bowling shirt.

I

waited

around pretty late last night, Mr.
Prescott.

I'm sorry, but I had clients to
entertain.

That's what Anthony said.

And a lot of other things, too.

Such as what?

He's lonely.

He's bored.

I think that's the only reason he got
into trouble this time.

Try raising the kid by yourself and
keeping your head above water.

Just so many hours in a day. It's a
juggling act.

It must be rough.

But if you don't spend more time with
Anthony, it's going to get a lot

Sorry if I'm lecturing, but...

Good kid.

It's real bright Deserves better So do
you

Want to talk?

Aren't you going to answer it?

Business can wait.

Family can't.

It'll take me a while to figure that one
out.

I think it's something I'll ever forget.

Guess you and I have a lot of catching
up to do, son.

What a virtuoso flair.

Mr. Renard's performance was
consistently compelling.

Ah, but will the critics in New York
agree?

You'll have to write and let me know.

Russ McCullen has finally made up his
mind.

It never worked between us.

I don't believe that.

You have to.

No one forced me to stay with Steph.

I married out of love.

Not from misguided sense of obligation.

And you still love her.

What was I?

You were my fantasy.

Just like I was yours.

I never really knew that until now.

I have the potential to be a good
husband.

And father.

Not some great concert pianist.

Your talent was enormous.

Maybe.

But talent only goes so far. To go the
distance, you need drive and you need

ambition, and I never had that.

I would have pushed you.

And I would have hated you for it.

Isn't it better I loved you instead?

All set?

Yeah.

Coming.

Coming!

I can make it to court just fine without
your help. Come on, Peter.

I don't want them to think I'm a
fugitive from justice. Mr. Danning, I

a call from the New York police. They
finally located the assault victim.

After viewing your photograph, she
informed them that you're not the same

Danning who attacked her.

Does that mean the charges have been
dropped?

We arrested the wrong man.

I'm sorry, Mr. Danning.

Wait a second.

Is that it?

I'm sorry, Mr. Danning?

After you just put me through the
ringer, all you can say is I'm sorry?

I try to understand my position.

No, you try to understand mine.

Because you're not going to stand around
here and help me pick up the pieces,

are you?

Believe me, I wish this never happened.

Just remember that when it happens to
you.

That ought to do it.

Now, nobody will be able to gain access
to the computer without proper

authorization.

Except, of course, for the back door.

What's the back door?

That's the program designer's way to
access the system by short -cutting its

security checks.

Come on, son. Taxi's waiting.

Gotta go.

Bye, everyone. Bye.

Hey, Anthony.

Why do we need a back door anyway?

In case me and Dion ever decide to come
back.

Congratulations.

Well, I thought only bad news traveled
past.

How did you hear?

Oh, and Mrs. Cabot would like to see you
as soon as you have a moment.

Hmm?

Oh, thanks.

Would you excuse me for a second,
please?

Hi. Hi.

I spoke to Inspector Matsuoko.

I guess you're pretty relieved.

Yes, I am.

Mark, I hope we can... You know, now
that things are back to normal.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

We're good together.

I guess I sort of panicked.

And I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I need somebody with more faith in me
than that.

At least Los Angeles is a short flight.
Are you ready?

In a minute.

Old friends should never leave without
saying goodbye.

I'm so glad you came.

About last night.

It never hurts to clear the air.

It just took 15 years longer than I
expected, that's all.

Sorry. It's up to you, Mark.

I can have a lawsuit filed against the
police before week's end.

As much as I'd like to even up the
score, I don't think a lawsuit is in my

interest or the St. Gregor's.

You know, Mark, we'll support you either
way.

Thank you, Peter.

But what I'd really like to do now is
put this all behind me.

Thank you, Mrs. Collins.

Victoria.

Byron, thank you for all your help.
You're so welcome. Peter, thanks, Byron.

I bet he could have won that suit, too.

Excuse me.

Jonathan?

Victoria Cabot.

Oh, I'm very well, thank you.

Jonathan, it's about tomorrow's paper.

It concerns Mark Danning, one of my most
valued employees.

A full retraction.

Wonderful. Oh, and Jonathan, don't
forget that front page news.
