Two million 288 00:16:24,740 --> 00:16:27,680 dollars is just a lot of money to raise overnight, and it's just been more 289 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,740 difficult than we thought it would be. Mother, you've got to get me out. I 290 00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:31,740 belong here. I'm innocent. 291 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,940 I hear that, sweetheart.

What do you say we celebrate at 303 00:17:12,329 --> 00:17:13,329 the hotel suite? 304 00:17:13,329 --> 00:17:14,410 Be like old times. 305 00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:16,410 Whatever you say.

This time you have really gone over the 312 00:17:40,290 --> 00:17:44,370 line. I don't mean to put a dent in your ego, but I leased that apartment 313 00:17:44,370 --> 00:17:45,390 because I loved it. 314 00:17:45,670 --> 00:17:47,010 Not because you lived there. 315 00:17:48,770 --> 00:17:52,190 Brock, I didn't come here to bicker. I'm concerned about something in this 316 00:17:52,190 --> 00:17:56,290 perspective. This French cable network you're planning to acquire. You do 317 00:17:56,290 --> 00:17:58,590 realize there's a quota on foreign programming? 318 00:17:59,470 --> 00:18:04,130 Is anybody alive who doesn't? Then why spend $10 million to subsidize their 319 00:18:04,130 --> 00:18:06,450 system when we have one of our own right here? 320 00:18:07,050 --> 00:18:09,310 Because here isn't there. 321 00:18:09,530 --> 00:18:10,530 Is that clear enough? 322 00:18:10,770 --> 00:18:13,350 Perfectly clear, although it's not what I meant. Apparently you don't 323 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:15,370 understand. No, Diana, you don't understand. 324 00:18:15,770 --> 00:18:17,590 I've got work to do, so good night. 325 00:18:19,310 --> 00:18:21,430 You don't mind if I take this home again tonight? 326 00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:24,910 It's all yours. Consider it a housewarming present and a good night. 327 00:18:25,970 --> 00:18:27,070 Brock, can I talk to you a minute? 328 00:18:27,290 --> 00:18:28,290 Come on in. 329 00:18:28,590 --> 00:18:30,950 Alone? Oh, yeah. Diana was just leaving. 330 00:18:31,630 --> 00:18:33,610 But now I have a sudden desire to stay. 331 00:18:34,090 --> 00:18:35,090 Go ahead. 332 00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:36,650 You seem to have some pressing business. 333 00:18:37,790 --> 00:18:38,990 Have you talked to my mother today? 334 00:18:39,230 --> 00:18:42,110 No, I kind of figured she'd want to spend some time with Peter now that he's 335 00:18:42,110 --> 00:18:45,270 home. Well, he's not. She couldn't raise the bail money, and now she's going to 336 00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:46,009 ruin her life. 337 00:18:46,010 --> 00:18:48,170 You mean she's actually going to have to work for a living? 338 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,740 Yeah, she's going to work all right. She's on her way to the Stanhope Hotel 339 00:18:51,740 --> 00:18:53,760 where Alan Rush has reserved the honeymoon suite. 340 00:18:54,060 --> 00:18:55,060 Ah, reconciliation. 341 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:56,380 How wonderful. 342 00:18:56,940 --> 00:18:58,900 Oh, believe it. Why would she turn to him? 343 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,140 Two million reasons, if you get my point. 344 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,440 That's the trade -off for Peter's bail money. 345 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,840 My mother has a lot of pride. Thank God that I don't. That's why I'm here. 346 00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:10,380 Go on home, Carrie. I'll take care of this. 347 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,420 Brock, this is a family affair. 348 00:19:13,740 --> 00:19:14,980 And it's not your family. 349 00:19:15,580 --> 00:19:16,580 I'll leave it alone. 350 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,160 The way you left your own family alone. 351 00:19:19,980 --> 00:19:22,060 Sorry, Diana.

I want her finances watched like a hawk. 552 00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:11,320 Because if she spends one cent of my assets, I swear to you, both mother and 553 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,500 are going to wind up behind bars. 554 00:32:16,340 --> 00:32:17,420 We have a problem. 555 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,740 How the hell did you get in here? 556 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:20,980 Well, it wasn't by broomstick. 557 00:32:21,740 --> 00:32:25,380 Now listen to me. Yeah, last time I made that mistake, I got shafted. 558 00:32:25,820 --> 00:32:28,020 And stuck with a huge hotel bill, too. 559 00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:32,280 Oh, let's not dwell on the past, Alan. It's time we started playing on the same 560 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:37,980 team. Oh, no way, my dear. I'm fine as I am. Oh, tell me. What are you most fine 561 00:32:37,980 --> 00:32:41,680 about? Letting Brock steal your magazine or letting him two -step into bed with 562 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,599 your wife? 563 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,440 Look, I'm glad I alluded that magazine. 564 00:32:45,070 --> 00:32:48,410 And I don't give a damn about Linda. You don't give a damn about anyone. 565 00:32:48,830 --> 00:32:50,870 But admit it, Alan, you still want her back. 566 00:32:51,210 --> 00:32:55,270 And you want to think your fangs into Brock, who seems completely immune to 567 00:32:55,270 --> 00:32:57,030 charms, I must say. He won't be. 568 00:32:57,350 --> 00:33:01,090 Once I've unloaded Miss Joan of Arc, the only question is how. 569 00:33:01,630 --> 00:33:03,910 I know Brock a lot better than he thinks. 570 00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:09,790 And even though he'd never admit it, if our son Tyler were to show up tomorrow, 571 00:33:10,150 --> 00:33:12,090 he'd take him back no questions asked. 572 00:33:12,610 --> 00:33:13,710 That's his soft spot. 573 00:33:14,010 --> 00:33:15,010 Like Peter is for Linda. 574 00:33:15,710 --> 00:33:17,770 So why not strike them both where they're vulnerable? 575 00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:21,410 You don't have to read The Art of War to know that. 576 00:33:21,970 --> 00:33:26,390 I just have to find a way with Tyler while you use Peter to reconcile with 577 00:33:26,390 --> 00:33:28,630 wife. Just how am I supposed to do that? 578 00:33:28,850 --> 00:33:30,690 Even I can't top a murder charge. 579 00:33:31,170 --> 00:33:34,870 Oh, Alan, I've told you what to do. Don't expect me to lead you every step 580 00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:35,870 the way. 581 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,480 Just the same as I left it. 582 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,480 I don't know what we'd have done without Brock. 583 00:33:54,220 --> 00:33:56,660 If you don't mind, I'd like him to join us for dinner tonight. 584 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,080 Nothing fancy. 585 00:33:58,980 --> 00:33:59,980 Just family. 586 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,540 I appreciate the thought, Mom, but we both know how the press would portray 587 00:34:05,540 --> 00:34:07,800 Peter Fairchild parties on his first night free. 588 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,480 Besides, I'm only out on bail. It's not as if the charge of murder's been 589 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,060 dropped. But it will be, because you're innocent. 590 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,060 Now, about tonight, we can stay here or we can go to Carrie. 591 00:34:19,580 --> 00:34:20,580 And I'll cook. 592 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,020 You heard right. Miracles can happen. 593 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,860 Baby, I'm sorry. 594 00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:33,820 If you're not ready yet, that's fine. Just tell me what you want to do. I'll 595 00:34:33,820 --> 00:34:34,880 understand if you want to be alone. 596 00:34:35,219 --> 00:34:39,520 No, it's not that. It's just that I... I can't stay here. 597 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,159 Why not? In the cab, you said you wanted to come home. 598 00:34:44,420 --> 00:34:45,420 Because... 599 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,159 This is where it happened. This is where she died. 600 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:56,500 Peter, honey, what do you mean? I saw her doctor, and he told me that she lied 601 00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:57,500 about the baby. 602 00:34:58,420 --> 00:35:00,420 I couldn't believe it. 603 00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:06,480 Someone that I thought I was once in love with faking a pregnancy, tricking 604 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:07,419 into marriage. 605 00:35:07,420 --> 00:35:12,120 That night when I got home, I confronted her with it, and she went crazy. She 606 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,840 came at me with a knife, and I just... Peter. 607 00:35:18,030 --> 00:35:19,250 killed her? It was an accident. 608 00:35:19,550 --> 00:35:22,790 She attacked me, I pushed her out of the way, and she fell on the night. 609 00:35:25,770 --> 00:35:27,650 So he dumped her body in a river? 610 00:35:28,290 --> 00:35:30,810 Why didn't you just call the police? I panicked. 611 00:35:33,250 --> 00:35:37,270 God, even though I did not kill her, I'm going to spend the rest of my life in 612 00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:38,270 prison. 613 00:35:39,110 --> 00:35:40,110 No. 614 00:35:42,150 --> 00:35:43,150 No. 615 00:35:46,380 --> 00:35:47,640 Not the rest of your life. 616 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,020 You did something terribly wrong. 617 00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:52,380 But you didn't murder anybody. 618 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,100 It was self -defense. 619 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,960 We'll get the best lawyers, and you'll tell the truth. 620 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,460 And the jury will hear you, and they'll believe you. 621 00:36:02,180 --> 00:36:03,420 I wouldn't believe me. 622 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:04,800 Why should they? 623 00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:09,140 No wonder the DA's so gung -ho. He could try this case in his sleep. 624 00:36:09,460 --> 00:36:11,260 He can try it, but he can't win it. 625 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,220 Oh, Mom, please say that you forgive me. 626 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,080 He's going to be all right. 627 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,000 Where is it? 628 00:36:35,300 --> 00:36:36,380 Free at last. 629 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:37,720 Free at last. 630 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,960 Thank God Almighty, you're free at last. 631 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,380 Well, do we thank the Almighty or just Adam Brock? 632 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,180 Alan, what are you doing here? 633 00:36:50,510 --> 00:36:53,510 I may be no match for your mother or your sister, but I do care about you, 634 00:36:53,530 --> 00:36:54,870 Peter. I can tell. 635 00:36:55,210 --> 00:36:58,710 Lately, you've really been there for me. That doesn't mean I want to see you go 636 00:36:58,710 --> 00:37:01,130 on trial or rot in prison for the rest of your life. 637 00:37:01,590 --> 00:37:03,250 Thanks for your concern, and goodbye. 638 00:37:04,670 --> 00:37:09,450 All right, it's true. I haven't been there, but I intend to make up for all 639 00:37:09,450 --> 00:37:14,790 that. I've got a car waiting outside as we speak and a private plane booked to a 640 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:16,090 safe South American location. 641 00:37:17,490 --> 00:37:18,490 It figures. 642 00:37:18,910 --> 00:37:20,370 You want me to flee the country? 643 00:37:20,690 --> 00:37:26,530 Enjoy the scenery, perfect your Spanish, save the rainforest, and someday you 644 00:37:26,530 --> 00:37:30,090 might even risk a return trip home, though I wouldn't advise it. Let us 645 00:37:30,090 --> 00:37:32,950 you. All worked out down to the last detail. 646 00:37:33,730 --> 00:37:35,690 Well, Alan, there's one detail you forgot. 647 00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:37,870 I'd never jump bail. 648 00:37:38,470 --> 00:37:41,730 Peter, why don't you get off your high horse and listen to me? Your reputation 649 00:37:41,730 --> 00:37:43,870 is ruined. Your career is over. 650 00:37:44,410 --> 00:37:48,450 The trial hasn't even started yet, and when it does, it'll be a media circus. 651 00:37:48,450 --> 00:37:50,470 matter what the jury decides, you lose. 652 00:37:51,010 --> 00:37:55,370 If by some miracle you get off, everyone is still going to think you did it. And 653 00:37:55,370 --> 00:37:59,190 with all that, you think I could vanish into thin air? No way, Alan. It'll never 654 00:37:59,190 --> 00:38:03,190 work. Peter, the pilot and the crew don't know who they're carrying. I've 655 00:38:03,190 --> 00:38:06,850 people meeting you on the runway in Chile with a false passport, birth 656 00:38:06,850 --> 00:38:11,550 certificate, $10 ,000 in cash, and another half million deposited in a 657 00:38:11,550 --> 00:38:14,010 bank. You're going to be awfully tough to trace. 658 00:38:18,670 --> 00:38:23,830 If I were to do this, and I'm not saying I would, I'd have to see my mother 659 00:38:23,830 --> 00:38:24,830 first. 660 00:38:25,050 --> 00:38:27,590 To say goodbye and to tell her not to worry. 661 00:38:27,810 --> 00:38:31,690 Fine. Make her an accessory to your flight from justice so she can end up 662 00:38:31,690 --> 00:38:32,790 bars in your place. 663 00:38:33,170 --> 00:38:36,990 No. I'll make sure she knows what happened and how to get in touch with 664 00:38:36,990 --> 00:38:38,190 don't try to reach her yourself. 665 00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:40,830 You know as well as I do that any direct... 666 00:38:41,050 --> 00:38:43,390 contact is going to implicate her in all of this. All right? 667 00:38:46,550 --> 00:38:47,770 You've got an answer for everything. 668 00:38:51,010 --> 00:38:53,450 So tell me, Alan, what's in it for you? 669 00:38:55,350 --> 00:38:58,050 I'd be lying if I claimed this is all about you. It isn't. 670 00:38:58,270 --> 00:39:00,010 The truth is I'm still in love with your mother. 671 00:39:00,870 --> 00:39:05,430 And if the trial itself doesn't destroy her, a guilty verdict certainly would. I 672 00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:06,430 don't want that. 673 00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:07,550 Do you? 674 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:11,920 All right, kid. 675 00:39:14,740 --> 00:39:16,940 The car will be outside for another five minutes. 676 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,780 It is now or never, Peter. 677 00:39:53,230 --> 00:39:54,350 Excuse me, can I help you? 678 00:39:54,810 --> 00:39:56,590 Hi, yes. I'm here to see Jordan Tate. 679 00:39:57,110 --> 00:39:58,950 I'm sorry, she just went out to a meeting. 680 00:39:59,510 --> 00:40:00,870 Oh, I thought so. My mistake. 681 00:40:03,290 --> 00:40:04,410 Did you have an appointment? 682 00:40:07,730 --> 00:40:08,730 Mark Merrill? 683 00:40:09,090 --> 00:40:10,110 I don't believe you. 684 00:40:10,510 --> 00:40:14,110 Well, neither did I, but it's true. He's back, and he's hell -bent on revenge. 685 00:40:14,830 --> 00:40:18,730 These are his new book's first five chapters, in which he depicts in 686 00:40:18,730 --> 00:40:20,270 detail what he's done to me. 687 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,620 That's how he's trying to drive me crazy, making me wonder what's going to 688 00:40:23,620 --> 00:40:24,598 happen next. 689 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,340 Then why would he show you these? 690 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,500 He didn't. I borrowed them from Jordan Tate. 691 00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:32,040 And what does he have to do with all of this? 692 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,160 Well, she's his new editor, and she has this pathetic crush on him, which I'm 693 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,420 sure he's working for all it's worth. 694 00:40:38,140 --> 00:40:39,720 Well, I'm sure the worst is over. 695 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,820 Crush or not, she can't publish an entire novel based on juvenile pranks. 696 00:40:44,260 --> 00:40:47,020 Yeah, but Nikki, that's the point. They're not just juvenile pranks 697 00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:49,760 He plans to end this with the perfect murder. 698 00:40:51,259 --> 00:40:54,340 Mine. Oh, come on, Carrie. You don't think he's actually going to try to kill 699 00:40:54,340 --> 00:40:55,720 you? Yes, I do. 700 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,720 Each trick is thicker than the last. 701 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,960 He told me himself that he's writing a thriller. 702 00:41:01,540 --> 00:41:03,020 How else do you think it's going to end? 703 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,380 Well, he sure has done a Jekyll and Hyde. 704 00:41:06,580 --> 00:41:07,580 What are you going to do? 705 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,160 I don't know. 706 00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:10,940 But I'm not going to sit back and take it. 707 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,360 I've ruined Mark's life once. I can do it again. 708 00:41:20,540 --> 00:41:21,540 Peter, are you okay? 709 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,600 He is now. 710 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:27,760 What do you mean? 711 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,860 Where is he?
