Original subtitles

Lauren Tate, are you ready?

Yeah, that's my little rock star.

Good morning. What a day. What a day.

Mel, do you have any idea what time it is? Yeah, yeah, I do. It is 14 hours

till your performance of a lifetime.

T-minus 14.

It's 6 a.m. No, no, I know. I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep because I was so excited.

And I thought I'd come over here before school to see if I can get you anything.

You know, besides more sleep.

Sleep would be good.

I had a rough night in the slumber department.

Well, yeah, I mean, you would have to.

It's such a big night. I mean, remember that last time we said that it was the

biggest night ever? This is like, like 14 times bigger than that. It's huge.

It's huge. It's epic.

Oh, I know. I just had way too much on my mind to be able to sleep.

What are you talking about? What is it? Oh, no. Oh, let me guess. Let me guess.

Um, wardrobe issues?

You want me to help you pick out an outfit? Mel is at your service.

No. Oh, oh, don't tell me. It's, um, is it your throat? Are you hoarse? Want me

to give you some of that little, like, honey, honey hot water concoction?

What's in that again? No, no.

God, how much coffee have you had this morning?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is El Natural, this energy right here. You know, if I had coffee in my

system, I'd be bouncing off the walls. You could saddle me up and ride me to an

MK if you had to.

Okay, I can't even imagine under what circumstances I would need that, but

it's good to know.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're not psyching yourself out again, are you?

You need a little pep talk?

Peppy Peppy? Mel?

Stop. I should have brought my camera. I should be filming everything today.

Okay, I mean this in the nicest way possible.

Shut your pie hole.

Thank you.

Okay, now, what I was trying to tell you was that somebody broke into Eddie's

last night and stole some stuff.

Oh, what, now you're not going to talk?

I can't.

I'm kind of winded.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Everything's fine. Just go back to sleep. No, no. I'm up. I'm up. I got

everything you asked for back at your apartment.

You have a nice place, by the way.

Thanks.

I can't believe I didn't hear you come in last night. I must have been dead.

Your body's still recovering.

Yesterday was the most you nuked in a long time. I'm glad you slept.

Thank you so much for getting the list.

You're welcome.

So, did you by chance see any cops sticking out of my apartment building?

I think so.

When I was going in and out, I saw this guy with a mustache sitting in his car

outside your place. It looked like he was waiting for something.

Probably was.

Mustache is usually a dead giveaway.

What about anything else out of the ordinary?

When I was in your place, I got the feeling like someone was staying there.

What do you mean?

I don't know. It just looked like someone was living in your place.

I felt like I was one of the three bears, and I almost caught Goldilocks.

What do you mean?

Somebody was there while you were there at the same time?

Yeah, I heard a noise in the kitchen. I had to go out the front entrance because

of it, but no one saw me, though.

It must have been my dad. He's the only one that really has keys.

I didn't actually see the person, but my gut tells me it was a woman.

How could you sleep knowing there was an intruder? Weren't you scared? I mean,

you just, like, walk right in here, just drapes on in. I didn't even think about

that. I'm scared now, thank you.

Ugh, just helping you left and right today.

Well, I mean, obviously whoever it was is gone, so... Who do you think it was?

Probably just a burglar.

They're not so bad. One actually lives in my house. You get used to it.

It just seems strange that a burglar would strike now. I mean, anybody who

turns on a TV knows that Eddie is a fugitive and, you know, wouldn't step

foot near his old pad.

What are you doing?

Looking for clues.

Well, I don't think it was really a burglary. Why not?

Because there's so much security here. I mean, it's the last place anybody would

try and rob.

And you signed a forced entry?

No, not that I know of.

An inside job.

Was there anything valuable taken?

No, just clothes and toiletries. Maybe that's what they want you to think they

took. Anything else?

No.

And where were you in the nighting question?

I was here. I told you that. Cut it out with the Nancy Drew stuff.

Okay, I'll stop. I'll stop. I'll drop it. Besides, wait.

You have way more important things to worry about than somebody who took

Eddie's boxers and toothbrush.

All that was taken was toiletries and clothes.

Yes. Nothing valuable.

But they're valuable to Eddie. He must have been here last night. He's here. In

L.A. In this apartment he was here. No, I don't know.

No, Mel. It has to be him.

Welcome home.

Are you okay?

Let me get out of my room.

We're here if you need us, son.

Wait, Phil.

Adriana, just give him some space, okay? It's been a long night for him.

Let him have a sleep and take a shower and it'll be better.

He hates me for turning him in. I knew that he would. No, listen, Adriana, this

is all of us, okay? He is upset with all of us, not just you.

He's just scared right now.

I don't want him to hate me. I don't have anyone else left.

It's going to be okay. Just give him some time, okay? And then he'll come

back to us, all of us.

We just need to give him some space, all right, to adjust to this new situation

before we try to win back his trust.

Please, I just want to talk to him and tell him I'm sorry, A.M. I know you do.

But he really needs to rest right now. He has to have a meeting with his lawyer

later. I think the best thing for you to do is just go to school.

Get your mind off of this.

That's a good idea.

That's going to give him time to calm down and just process everything. And

then hopefully the two of you will be able to talk.

If he ever wants to talk to me.

So, so good. Everything's better here out of the city. The eggs, the bacon,

the air.

Thank you.

Seriously, it's delicious.

I can't remember the last time I had a proper home-cooked breakfast.

Well, now that I'm in my own kitchen with my own recipes, I can whip up a

thing or two.

Did you really make these biscuits from scratch?

4.30 this morning.

Do you mind if I have some more?

No, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. I'm saving those for Chloe when she wakes

up. Oh, speak of the devil.

Morning, darling.

Let me make you a plate.

Oh, I'm nauseated.

More for me.

Now that I'm out of L.A., I'm thinking I should, uh...

Bulk up a little bit.

I just want coffee.

You want some cream and sugar?

You know I drink it black.

Well, you said you were nauseated. Black coffee's not good on an upset stomach.

Neither is country air.

You should really try some of this food.

I mean, these biscuits are out of this world.

I forgot how good of a cook your mom is.

Made your favorite.

Gravy and biscuits and bacon and eggs. The real kind.

Enough.

This isn't going to work out.

Relax, we're not going to force you to eat.

No, I mean being here is not going to work out.

I need to get the hell out of here.

Tonight is the night my best friend becomes a superstar.

Can you believe it?

It's pretty great.

It's not why you're smiling, is it? Nope.

Do you think you're ever going to stop smiling about last night?

Not sure.

When's this wear off?

It's a good thing you've got a cute smile.

Hey, I want to tell you something.

But... OMG, there you are.

Hey, is it true that Phil's in jail for killing your dad?

And blowing up a building?

This takes Babu to a whole new level.

Yeah, 8, and I heard you were the one that led police to where he was hiding

out in your house.

Is that true?

That is cray-cray-cray-cray.

Please, I can't talk about this right now.

What? I thought you loved him. I don't understand how you could turn him in.

He's in jail because of you.

Yeah, and I can't believe you would do that with everything else you've got

cooking. Please stop.

Yeah, of course. I don't know what I would do if my boyfriend blew up my dad

either. And blew up a damn building!

Shut the hell up and leave her alone.

Her father just died. I mean, have a heart.

Wow, you're the last person that I thought would help me. Yeah, well, you

didn't deserve that, so... Maybe I did.

I know this isn't your fault.

And the more I think about it, it was a smart move to have Phil go in and face

this with a lawyer.

I hope so.

I swear, I don't want anything bad to happen to your brother.

I love him.

I believe you.

Adriana, I'm really sorry about what happened to your dad.

I'm just, I'm sorry about everything you're going through.

Does this mean we have to start being nice to each other?

Let's not get carried away.

How did you sleep?

Surprisingly well.

Actually, I think it's the first good night's sleep I've had since Eddie

disappeared.

What can I say?

I have a very comfortable bed.

Yeah, it's the bed.

Definitely the bed.

I'm not actually feeling kind of guilty that I slept through the night. You

don't have to feel guilty about anything.

None of this is your fault, and it's all going to resolve itself.

Besides, you've been running nonstop.

Your body needed the rest.

Amongst other things, my body needed it.

No, no, it's fine. We were just... Why?

Why am I embarrassed?

You know what? We were kissing, and it was awesome.

Right? Good.

Hey, I was just getting ready to go check on you.

At Eddie's place, did you get any sleep?

No.

You're also very excited about tonight?

I am, I am, but the reason that I couldn't sleep is because Eddie snuck

into the apartment last night when I wasn't there.

Hold on, how do you know it was Eddie?

Who else would sneak into a rock star's apartment and just take T-shirts and

socks? It doesn't make any sense. Guys, you're missing the point.

Eddie's here. He's here in L.A.

Yeah, I'm not saying it wasn't Eddie, but is there a possibility that those

items just weren't there to begin with?

No, Max, you don't understand.

I saw Eddie's T-shirt on the floor, and I know that it wasn't there before. I'm

positive.

Something doesn't add up. What do you mean? Well, if it wasn't him...

and it wasn't you, then who else would it be? Who else would have access to his

apartment? The police are staking out that building.

So if Eddie would have shown up, he would have been caught.

Unless, what, somebody's helping him?

Exactly. Who would that be? Somebody here in L.A.? Why wouldn't he just reach

out to one of us?

He knows the police are watching us as well.

He's doing exactly what he should be doing. Somebody wrote on my fan page

yesterday, this person, Dark Heart Rocker.

It was Eddie.

I know it was. He said stuff that only me and Eddie would know.

He's tried to reach out to me.

That was a long shower.

Yeah. You feel any better?

Much.

Almost human.

It reminded me that when all this is over that I sent some extra cash to the

motel for the water bill because I think I used about half the Hollywood

reservoir.

Have you given any more thought to who might be crashing at your apartment? I

think it was Lauren.

What's wrong?

I just feel bad.

You know, she's probably staying at my place to feel closer to me, and I know

if the roles were reversed, I'd be doing the same thing.

You must mean a lot to her.

She means a lot to me.

I think it's great that she's staying at my place.

Because now it'll be easier to see her. I mean, I had no chance with her at

school or home because of the cops, but I could easily slip into my place.

Just like you did. Nobody ever uses that service elevator. No, that's not true. I

almost got caught by a maintenance guy on the way in. You know, I had to use

the front door to get out. I can make it work.

Okay, it's worth the chance. I have to see her.

Oh, maybe you should just be focusing on trying to get the cops to drop the

charges. Okay, that way you can see your girl all you want. Leah, in order for me

to do that, I have to get Chloe to drop the charges.

I can't stay here. I thought I could, but I can't.

Chloe, we just got here. I feel like I'm trapped in some retro 80s nightmare.

I know it's real hard being back here, honey. It took a lot of courage.

It's not like you two gave me much of a choice.

I have spent the past few years trying to forget all of my horrible childhood

memories. Now they've all flooded back like a tidal wave after only one night.

We all knew the first night was going to be the worst.

It'll get better with time.

With time? I thought this was temporary.

Nobody's made a timeline yet.

No, if I'm gonna stay in Fresno, even for a little while, I can't stay here

one more night.

We could get a hotel, not a motel, H, not M.

Or better yet, we could go to another city. Let's try San Francisco.

That's too far. Look, I understand if you need a little space, okay?

But give me a chance to collect some money from some old friends that owe me,

and we'll stay wherever you want.

What if they don't pay up?

Relax, they will. I'm actually supposed to meet up with them soon, so...

I better go. Sorry I can't stay and do the dishes.

I'm a man on the move. We'll regroup for lunch and we'll talk about a game plan,

okay? Fine.

I can't wait for lunch, by the way, because if it's half as good as

breakfast, then we're going to have to talk about you opening up your own

diner.

I'm going to make this work, okay? I promise.

Mwah.

Mwah.

He's really turned around.

I hardly recognize him.

It's weird dealing with Tyler as the good guy and the protector.

Weird in a kind of good way, though.

He's still Tyler. We'll see how long this lasts.

Look, Lauren, I know it's hard, but we have to be very careful not to lead the

police to Eddie.

I just want to be with him, Max.

Yeah, I know.

But for now, there's nothing we could do. I mean, I've had to myself accept

the fact that Eddie is just going to come home on his own.

I just wish there was something, anything we could do to clear his name

and make this whole fiasco go away.

I have a private eye looking into it, and I promise you he's very good, and

hopefully he'll come back with results really soon.

I feel so horrible for you guys.

I mean, I know not knowing where Eddie is is just eating away at the both of

you.

Yeah.

Look, in the meantime, why don't you just concentrate on tonight? You know,

having a great show. This is very important for you.

And I know you're going to do great.

Okay? Thanks.

I can't believe that she would do this. She's willing to ruin my life when she

knows. I didn't push her off that balcony. She hurt me.

Not the other way around. And not to mention that... What?

Nothing.

Well, she sounds like a truly evil person.

Yeah.

Whom I have to get to stop lying to the police about me.

Maybe I could find Chloe and then you'll have a chance to try and reason with

her. No, I mean, she doesn't know me. She'll see you coming. I can sneak up on

her.

And then what?

I don't know. I could scare her and she'll just blurt out a confession.

Scare her?

That sounds like a great idea.

But I can never ask you to do that.

Go home.

Go back to your life.

Then what happens to you?

You stay in hiding with no one to help you?

I'll manage.

No, you won't.

Face, Betty.

You need me now more than ever.

I cannot tell you how great it feels to sleep in my own bed again.

And with you.

Yeah.

It was nice.

Except all that tossing and turning.

You felt that?

Yeah, but it wasn't just you. I've been restless myself.

Well, we'll sleep much better tonight.

Listen, I was serious about changing the guest room to a nursery.

As a matter of fact, I was thinking about doing some work on it this

weekend.

You are the least handiest man I know.

Well, by doing work, I meant calling a contractor and decorator to come in and

work on it.

Now that's more like it.

Listen, I've got to get to work. Hopefully we find some good news about

Eddie today.

Fingers crossed.

Listen, why don't we grab lunch later?

Yeah, I'd love to, but I just got a really busy day today.

I'll see you tonight.

It's that time.

Just a few more pit stops, and then we're on our way to the club for a sound

check and rehearsal.

Are you ready for tonight?

I think I am. Thank you.

Oh, oh, you're asking my daughter. She was... That makes more sense, doesn't

it? Let's try this again. Hey, Lauren, are you ready for tonight?

I am.

I've been waiting for this moment my whole life.

Untraceable, huh?

I swear.

I knew nothing about the insurance policy.

A $2 million insurance policy?

Oh, I definitely would have remembered that.

And Adriana? No. I'm positive she knew nothing about it. The only thing Adriana

loves more than money is talking about money.

She would have told me. No question.

You just keep telling the truth, son. You're doing fine.

Can you think of anyone else that might want Don Masters dead?

Did Adriana ever say anything that might indicate he was having problems with

anyone else? Yeah, I mean, she said that he was having financial problems, but he

never opened up to her about it. I don't know if this means anything, but last

night before I got arrested, a woman broke into Dr. Master's house and she

searched the place.

That's very unusual, and it could help you out a lot.

At the time, I thought that it was a detective, but now I'm not so sure.

Why is that?

She moved through the house more like a thief than law enforcement.

A police officer would never be skulking through a residence, especially one

involved in an investigation.

I know a few cops who don't play by the rules, but no, she was definitely not a

cop. Did you recognize the woman from anywhere?

No, ma'am. I have no idea who she was.

Let's get a description.

I'll head over to my office and get my people to look for her. She may have the

answers we need.

Okay.

All you had to do was ask if you wanted some of my unidentifiable pasta dish.

No, thank you.

And I think that's meatloaf.

Nah. You are not getting this back until you tell me what you were going to say

earlier.

Okay.

I've made a decision.

I'm going to transfer from NYU to UCLA for the fall semester.

Can I at least have my food back?

Why are you doing this?

Why do you think?

Me?

But... NYU has been your dream school forever.

Well, a school is just a school.

But there's only one Melissa.

Can't argue with that.

But no, I would feel really, really guilty if you gave up on your dream for

me.

My dream is to be a music producer.

I don't care how I get there.

Plus, I'm probably better off being in L.A. anyway.

What'd your parents say?

You haven't told them yet.

It doesn't matter.

It's my call to make, not theirs.

Are you happy?

You have no idea.

Nora, what a surprise.

Come in. Thank you.

Nice to see you, Lisa. Nice to see you. Sorry about the house. It's a little bit

of a wreck.

I take this wreck any day.

Is Adriana around?

Oh, she went to school today. Good.

Oh, good. That'll help her get back to normal.

Yeah. I'm just cleaning up. Do you mind coming into the kitchen with me for a

second?

Yeah. Yeah, sure. I have a few minutes.

Can I get you some coffee?

Oh, no. Thank you.

Oh, that's right. You drink tea.

My dad, the ex-Marine, he used to say that people who drank tea were hippies.

We've got chamomile, earl grey, orange pico. You know, I'll just take some

water. Water? Yeah, yeah. Have a seat.

Why the interest in Adriana?

Well, she came by my place last night and we talked.

Oh, I didn't know that she and Lauren were friends.

No, definitely not. She came to see me.

Really?

Yeah, you know, she thought since I knew her dad, I might have something helpful

to say.

Oh, I knew her dad too. I guess we just knew him in different ways.

Right. Right.

Gosh, what do you say to a kid going through something like that?

What did you tell her? I don't know. I don't even remember. I was in such

shock. I mean, I think I just held her as much as I could, you know?

Poor kid.

Yeah, she really missed out on some motherly love.

But it's a good thing she's getting it now.

You're doing a really great thing taking her in. And I told her she's in good

hands. I like to think so.

I'm a little surprised that she came by your house.

Well, you know, she needs as much help as she can get right now with her dad

and the baby.

Oh, that's right.

The teenage mother thing, that explains it.

Explains what exactly?

Why she would reach out to you.

I mean, maybe she thinks you have some wisdom about raising a child at such a

young age.

As a matter of fact, I do have some wisdom about that, Lisa.

Oh, no, of course. I didn't mean anything. I just...

Maybe your style of parenting is not what Phil and Adriana need.

I hope so. I mean, everyone's different.

I'm sure what works for me and Lauren probably doesn't work for you and your

family. I imagine that's true.

Melissa constantly tells me how different things are over at your house.

Well, if anyone would know, it would be Mel. She's over there often enough. And

I'm sure she has a great time, but I really believe in boundaries here. Well,

I believe in boundaries, too.

I just try to treat every situation on its own, you know, whatever works.

Whatever works?

You know what? I don't want to sit here and debate the best way to raise a child

with you.

I mean, is that what you want to do, Lisa?

What's up, Steven?

Lauren, I promise this is the last stop before we get to the MK Club. Just a few

more papers to sign, and we'll be on our way.

I mean, I just became a professional musician, and I feel like my hand's

already sore from all the contract signing. Wait till you start signing

hundreds of autographs a night. You're going to have to learn to write with

both of your hands.

Hey, Kelly's right. You do need to become ambidextrous.

Now, with that said, may I have your autograph, Lauren Tate, and make sure

you date it, please?

You're funny.

No, I'm serious. It's going to be worth something.

Okay. There you go.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the show tonight.

Oh, I know I will. Now, I'm going to put this with my collection.

Collection.

To Jake, you're the best. Eddie Duran, 10-26-09.

Mm-hmm.

Listen, it's funny. I'm embarrassed to say that I was not your biggest

supporter in the beginning, but I'm always willing to admit when I'm wrong.

It's just when I first saw you, I wasn't overly impressed.

Jake, when you first saw me, I was in a dark alley trying to sneak into Eddie's

concert.

Oh, yeah, you are that girl.

I totally forgot. In that case, when I first met you, I was impressed.

And I am finally glad to say I can be on board the Lauren Tate bandwagon. You've

definitely got what it takes, and I wish you all the success in the world.

That means so much coming from you.

Oh, don't thank me. You should be grateful to your original supporters,

you know? Kelly's been your biggest fan from the beginning, and so has Eddie.

And I know if he was here, he'd be razzing me, saying, I told you so.

I wish he was here to do that.

I know you do.

Here are the contracts you need to sign, and you are good to go. Oh, okay.

Just sign here, here, and here.

And that last one is an autograph for me. Jake's right. It's going to be

really valuable one day.

Oh, wait.

There's one last contract on my desk. Do you mind? Oh, yeah, no, not at all.

I owe you an apology.

Oh, don't worry about it. You know, this is your big night. Enjoy it. No.

I shouldn't have said those things.

Last night about your relationship with Tracy.

It was out of line.

Apology accepted.

We shared one part of an evening that was amazing, and that's it. We

move on.

We're adults.

I have a lot more practice I need to do before I can sign with my left hand.

No problem at all, miss.

I'm just looking for someone.

Have you seen this man?

You don't need to show me a picture for me to know what Eddie Duran looks like.

I'm a huge fan.

Isn't he like a fugitive?

Someone at a coffee shop nearby spotted someone who looked like him last night.

I guess he also had a key for this motel.

And since there's a warrant out for him, we're just... You got me.

How did you know I was hiding Eddie Duran, the rock star, under my bed?

On the off chance you do spot him.

Call the scupper, and we'll take it from there.

Have a good day.

That was too close. Way too close. Okay, we need to change locations.

Listen to me.

It's going to be all right.

Okay, we don't need to relocate. That was a cop doing a routine check based on

a less than reliable tip.

All right, now he's done his thing, and he's not going to come back.

And listen, you were great with him.

By the way... I don't know, Eddie, okay? It's too risky to stay.

Okay, can we talk about this later?

All right, I need to know.

What did you find out about Chloe?

It looked like she moved out of her place and took all of her stuff.

Okay, I saw a note she left for her landlord that said she was moving out of

town. Did she leave a forwarding address?

Where would she have gone?

I didn't want any bangs.

What do you call these?

We're not done yet, sweetheart.

And the French curls better be perfect this time.

That's the only reason I lost the last pageant, because you did such a lousy

job with them.

Second place?

Second place is for losers.

It's useless, just like you.

All right, I have had just about enough out of you. You are a selfish, spoiled

little girl that blames everyone else. for everything bad that ever happened to

you. That's because it's everyone else's fault.

Am I a horrible person?

Nora, I wasn't trying to pick a fight with you.

I just...

sometimes worry about your influence on Melissa.

My influence?

Yes. She sees how much fun you have being a single mom, and she enjoys

whatever it is that goes on over at your house, and I can't compete with that.

And I worry about Adriana falling for the same thing.

Nora.

Nora, wait.

You know what? What happens in my house is love, compassion, and understanding,

and I will not apologize to you or anyone for that.

Nora, you are taking my meaning all wrong. I don't think I am.

And maybe if you provided some of that in your own home, your daughter wouldn't

have to get it in mine.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I didn't... You didn't deserve that.

No.

Maybe I did.

I am envious of you, Nora.

You are the fun one.

My sister Beth was the fun one, too.

I always had to be the responsible one.

And I'm not implying that you're not responsible. That's not what I meant.

You didn't mean it, but you think it.

There is so much going on right now in my life. I feel like I have failed as a

mother. I'm sure you never feel like that.

All the time.

Melissa hates me. She doesn't hate you. She does.

And she's given up on the idea of going to college altogether, and so has Phil.

And he's about to be some ill-equipped father.

In addition to having been arrested for the murder of his girlfriend's father.

Oh, my God, I can't believe I just said that out loud.

I'm so sorry, Lisa.

I'm so sorry.

How's he, um, how's he doing?

It's difficult.

He's out on bail, but it's difficult.

You know, um, police questioned me about it, and they said they had a suspect,

and I was so surprised to hear it was Phil.

You sound like you thought it might be someone else.

This woman that worked in the clinic, Ellie Moss, she had a relationship with

Don last year, and she's a little unstable, and I... I don't know. I just

assumed they had her in mind.

Wait. Phil said that he saw some woman snooping around Don's house the other

day. He said he thought that it was, um, a detective.

He said she was an African-American woman. She was snooping around. That's

Ellie Moss. I'm sure of it.

Well, do the police know about her?

Why aren't they looking for her?

I mean, this could be the clue that Phil's lawyer needs.

Oh, I hope so. I hope. I hope that helps.

Oh, thank you, Nora.

Yeah.

Thanks. You're welcome. Um, just let Adriana know that I came by. Okay.

Thank you. Ellie Moss.

Ellie Moss.

It's so quiet.

Not for long.

In a few hours, this place will be full of screaming fans who came just to hear

you sing.

Ticket sales are strong.

We should be sold out by the time the doors open.

I'm gonna go and check to see if your dressing room's open. Okay.

Let my hair come in like a rose.

Falling like a star, I'm falling fast and hard for the O-R-N-Z.

Thank you, thank you, thank you guys for coming.

Of course.

BTW, we better have wristbands for Front No Access tonight.

Are you joking?

You're going to be recording the show. You can be on the stage if you want.

That's what I'm talking about, yeah.

Not Adam, though. Why?

Well, you know how he starts really feeling the music and stomping his feet

and then he flares his arms and then we have Friday night dance party? It's

weird. Yeah, it's weird. Do I need to bust out some moves right now? No, no,

no. Hold it off there. So you think you can dance? Stop it. We've got a long

night ahead of us. Pace yourself, okay?

Okay.

Who could be calling at this moment?

I don't recognize the number. That's so weird.

Lauren?

Yeah? Can I borrow you for a sec?

Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. I'll talk to you guys later. Talk to you later.

Bye.

Hey, it's Lauren. Make it short and sweet. I'll call you back soon.

I can't leave a message.

The cops get a hold of me. She's in trouble.

She doesn't recognize the incoming number.

What are you going to do now? I don't know.

Okay? I feel trapped.

I've got to do something.

And the only thing I can think of doing is somehow forcing Chloe to recant.

How? She's gone.

I don't know. Where would she go?

That's what I have to figure out.

You're not a horrible person.

Am I a good person?

No. You're a woman who fights for what she wants and won't give up until she

gets it.

Haven't I already given up by coming back here?

No, wait, this is just temporary.

It gives us a chance to breathe and rethink what we want and how we're going

to get it.

And what do you want, Tyler?

Because recently I've been having a hard time figuring that out.

I want to be with you.

And you're going to give up on your career?

No, like I said before, it just gives me a chance to rethink how to make it

happen. Los Angeles isn't the only place to become an actor. There's New York,

there's London.

There's the little Fresno Theater?

Don't patronize me.

I've been your biggest supporter through all of this.

My only supporter.

I'm sorry, I just... I'm having a hard time accepting this turn in my life.

None of this makes sense.

I don't even know what I want anymore.

I love you, Chloe.

Admit it, you love me too. I know you do.

I mean, how can you deny it now, after everything we've been through and all

that's happened?

Maybe I do love you.

But what does it matter?

Love is what got me here.

And love hurts the most, and it destroys everything.

Love, you got yourself in this mess because of jealousy and greed and

probably the rest of those seven deadly sins.

I loved Eddie.

No, you didn't.

I did, and I'm starting to think that maybe what I'm doing to him is wrong.

How can you say that?

Huh? I can't believe he still has a hold on you. When are you going to just let

this go?

When are you going to stop letting Eddie mess up both of our lives?

I found Chloe's

old car.

2003 BMW 325 CI convertible.

She sold it to a woman who has since moved to New Mexico.

Wow. Great job.

Now, here's the interesting thing.

Apparently, two people have contacted her recently. A guy who never gave his

name and Chloe Carter, who asked the woman if she'd be interested in selling

the car back to her.

Chloe wants to buy her old car back after two years.

That's what she said.

Why would she do that? I can only think of one reason. My God.

She did it. This is it. She's trying to cover her tracks.

Also, the woman who bought the car.

Said that there was no damage to it.

But that she did believe that there had been some body work done to the front

end of the vehicle.

I'll book a flight banner as soon as possible and take as many pictures as

you can of the car.

Maybe when I show this to Chloe Carter, it'll scare her into recanting.

Phil.

Look, don't do this, okay?

Please, don't hate me.

Okay, I did the right thing, and I know that now, and nothing that you can say

will change my mind.

Look, Phil, if you would have stayed out on the run, it would have made you look

really guilty, and then eventually the cops would have found you and put you in

jail. Okay, then I'd be left all alone.

Actually, we'd be left all alone, and I just... I couldn't bear that.

I cannot stand that you are so mad at me over this.

Please, Phil, forgive me.

We will beat this, okay? We will find the evidence to prove that I'm innocent.

We have to. I know we will.

And then we'll never worry about anything ever again.

You promise?

Yeah.

All of our problems will be over.

We'll be rich.

Just went out to get a few things.

Baby, what is it, Trish?

We're not having a baby.

You're stuck in automatic.

Think about breaking out. Want to feel satisfied.

Breathe before you panic.

Show's going to sell out.

How do you feel about that, Mama Tate? Are you proud of our girl? I am so

proud.

But no prouder than I was yesterday.

I mean, I always knew she was great. Because all these people are just now

realizing it.

Does that make me feel any different?

Hold

on.

Hold on. I'm coming.

Who the hell is it?
