- [Andrea Voiceover]
Quinton saw a worried look

in Mandy's eyes,

he gently turned to her.

- I can tell something's
troubling you,

what is it?

- Everyone thinks of me as
being your child's nursemaid.

I'm afraid people will never
accept me in your world.

(gentle music)

- You're the most gracious,
wonderful woman in Connecticut.

They'll adore you, you'll see.

- Are you sure?
- Completely.

- [Nurse] Are you ready, Andrea?

- Yes.

- New book?

- Oh no, this is my favorite.

I've read this a million times.

- Then it's a classic, I'm sure.

- You should subscribe.

It's the world, the
way it should be.

Men are gentlemen
and women are ladies.

- Won't that'd be the day.

So who's taking you
home, your mother?

- No, she doesn't
even know I'm leaving.

Like you said, this place
would have done her more good

than it did me.

Well it's 'cause she let go

of the only good
man she ever had.

The only man I
ever had was loser.

- Speaking of which,

this came this morning.

- My name is McBride
not Hatfield.

- He's persistent,
I'll give him that.

- Well, it doesn't matter,
I'm not going back to him.

I've got a new life to start.

(gentle music)

(telephone rings)

True-Care Agency,
how can I help you?

Yes, just hold a moment please.

No.

Hello.

- Listen sir, it sounds to me
like you want a nanny for you

and not your children.

And we don't provide that
kind of service, good day.

Some men, honey.

- Dr. James Lewis.

Oh, he's a widow.

Needs a live-in nanny to
care for 10 year old boys

and light cleaning and cooking.

Surgeon at St. Mary's hospital.

Wonder what he looks like.

He lives on Somerset Court.

Bet it's a beautiful
neighborhood.

- Hi, I'm Rosalee,
I'm here to see Doris.

- She's in her
office, go right in.

- Oh, I'm sorry,
talk about flashback,

you remind me of an old friend
of mine, Nikki Harcourt.

She used to be a nanny here.

- I get that a lot, actually.

She went to Paris, right?

- Lucky girl.

(Rosalee laughs)

Okay, well I'll
just go in, thanks.

(suspenseful music)

- Doris.
- Yes.

- I know, I'm sorry
to bother you.

I'm just, I'm not
feeling very good today

and I was wondering

if maybe I could have
the rest of the day off.

- [Doris] Can Jackie fill in?

- Yeah, Jackie can cover for me.

- [Doris] All right,
feel better, honey.

- Thank you, thanks Doris.

(suspenseful music)

- Neurosurgery.

So handsome.

(suspenseful music)

(car engine roaring)

So beautiful.

Look at this, your daddy is
on the board of directors

at St. Mary's hospital,

that means he's really important

and he's one of the most
renowned surgeons in his field,

it says so right here.

Do you know that your daddy
went to Harvard and Yale?

You wanna be like him,

you better get all your
homework done and study hard.

I'm gonna be the perfect nanny.

Got crumbs on your head, sorry.

(suspenseful music)

(telephone rings)

- Hello.

- Dr. Lewis.

- Yes, this is he.

- This is Nikki Harcourt,

I'm not with an agency, but
a friend of mine told me

that you were
looking for a nanny.

- Yes, but I've already
got five people,

interviewing later
today and tomorrow, so.

- Dr. Lewis, I worked for the
same family for eight years.

I took care of two
boys by myself.

I cook, I have my own car.

- All right, all
right, all right.

Why don't you come by tomorrow,

let's say around 11:30.

- I'd love to.

- Do me a favor,

fax me your resume
and salary history.

I'd like to review
them before we meet.

- No problem, I'll get
them to you right away.

- [Dr. Lewis] All
right, bye, bye.

- Goodbye.

Yes.

- [Man] Here you are.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

(gentle music)

- This is great.

Yes.

(shower water runs)

(Andrea laughs)

Hi, I'm Nikki Harcourt.

It's nice to meet
you, Dr. Lewis.

You'd like me to call you James?

Well, hello James.

(car engine roaring)

(suspenseful music)

(car engine roaring)

(door bell rings)

- Hi, Nikki, right?
- Right.

- Come in.

I'm Fawn.
- Hi.

- Wait a minute

and I'll get my dad.
- Okay.

(basketball bounces)

- Hi.
- Hi.

You must be Ben.

- I could be Ben.

I don't have to be.

I could just be a kid

who walked in off
the street, you know.

- I can tell you're smart one.

- My IQ's 162.

- That's very impressive.

- So do you know
what a C10-1140 is?

- It sounds like a plane.

- She guessed it was a plane.

(Fawn laughs)

- Congratulations,
you're the first.

- Hi, I am Dr. Lewis

and that's Ben's test.

It's actually a model airplane,
he's especially fond of.

(pager beeps)

Would you please excuse me?

- We could play ball
until he gets back.

- Come on, let's go sit down.

I am so glad we're
getting Ben another nanny.

The last one moved to Chicago,
I guess about a month ago.

And I'm leaving study
at Cambridge in England.

- Oh, that's so exciting.

So you're in college?

- Yeah, USC.

I'm a majoring in English Lit.

- I love English literature.

- Really?

Who's your favorite author?

- Oh, wow, let's see.

- I apologize.

It's hospital business.

Well,

I have to say your
resume is quite good.

I mean, eight years
with one family.

Why did you leave them?

- Oh, they died in a car crash.

- That's awful.
- Oh my God.

- After it happened, I went
to France, took a break.

- Well, I certainly understand.

You don't happen to
speak French, do you?

- I didn't stay long
enough to pick it up.

- The young lady, Beth,
who was here just now

is fluent in Spanish and
offered to teach Ben.

And I have to think
that, that's a big plus,

especially living here
in Southern California.

So please understand,

I think you're more
than qualified.

It's just that I'm leaning in
that direction in hiring her.

I just thought she
should know now

instead of waiting for
a phone call, I'm sorry.

(telephone rings)

- I'll get it.
- Yeah.

- You didn't even talk to her.

- As you can see, this
isn't easy for either of us.

- Ben and I could
learn Spanish together.

- I appreciate that but.

- I don't wanna learn Spanish.

- Ben, how many times
do I have to tell you

not to bounce the
ball in the house?

- [Ben] It's just a
stupid ball, dad, come on.

- [Dr. Lewis] Look,
that's enough.

Just take it outside, okay.
- Okay.

- Dr. Lewis, thanks
anyway for considering me.

And if things don't
work out with Beth,

please do give me a call,

I really would like the job.

- You can count on it.

(suspenseful music)

(door knock)

- Hi, I'm a friend
of Bryce Ellison,

your neighbor.

He was supposed to meet
me here half an hour ago

and he hasn't shown up yet.

And is there any way I
could borrow your phone,

just to call him at work?

I came all the way from Pasadena

and it'll only take a second.

- Okay, sure, come on in.
- Thank you.

- Excuse the mess, I'm moving.

The phone is right over
there on the table.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I thought he was on vacation.

- He came back early.

- Hello, can I speak to
Bryce Ellison please?

Hi Bryce.

Hi, it's me, I've been waiting
here for about half an hour.

No, I didn't get a message.

Okay, well I'll just,

I'll just wait.

Okay.

I'll see you then.

Bye.

He's on his way over.

- Oh good.

- You've got such a cute place.

- Thank you.

- Why are you moving?

- I got a new job.

- Really, what do you do?

- [Beth] I'm a nanny.

- Do you like it?

- It's a paycheck, you know.

But my new employer
seems really nice.

He's a doctor, very handsome.

But I'm not gonna do
this the rest of my life.

I can't take these spoiled,
rich kids forever, you know.

- Don't worry,
you won't have to.

(Beth screams)

I'm sorry but James
really needs me.

This is so pretty.

- [Fawn] It was such a
shock, what happened to Beth.

- [Andrea] I know.

- Anyway, this is dad's room.

And this is Ben's room
and it's always a mess.

- It's my room, I
can do what I want.

Hi.
- Hey you.

- My room and this is your room.

Television, you
have your own phone.

My dad will pay for all
your long distance calls,

as long as they're
not outrageous.

- Fantastic.

What time does your
dad get home from work?

I should probably unpack
and start cooking dinner.

- Oh, we never know,

sometimes it's late and
sometimes it's even later.

- Well, you can't blame him
for working hard for you guys.

- Yeah, true.

Well, I've got a lot
of studying to do.

I'll leave you to
get settled in.

I'm really glad
you're here, Nikki.

- Yes.

Feels like home, already.

(gentle music)

Thank you.

(gentle music)

Sleep well, my love.

It'll be a hard day.

We'll have so much to celebrate.

- [Andrea Voiceover]
The next morning,

as they sat in the gazebo,

she asked when he first
fell in love with her.

He smiled and said.

- It was when we last
celebrated your birthday.

- We had a picnic at the river.

- There were swans in the
water that day, as I recall.

You were admiring them.

You looked so beautiful.

It was dusk.

The water reflected
on your face.

That moment, I
know I was in love.

- My James won't let me down.

- [Dr. Lewis] I can't
believe Tessinfell

is agreeing to this.

- Well it's Conrad.

He's convinced two
other partners to
change their votes too.

- Speak of the devil.

- Doctor.

Julia.

- Conrad.

- Don't let him get you down.

A lot of them haven't
made up their minds yet.

- They think they know
what they're getting into.

You just wait, til the
HMOs start telling them

how to treat their patients.

- You're tired.

Let's get outta here,
get a bite to eat.

- I can't.

I'm speaking to the
board of review next week

and I haven't finished
that damn speech yet.

- Well let me help you.

We'll go to your place,
raid the refrigerator,

put on a pot of
coffee and brainstorm.

- Well, I just hope you're
up for a long night.

- I can handle it.

(door knock)

- Hi Fawn.

- Oh, hi.

- Your father invited
me over for dinner.

I hope you don't mind.

We've got some work
to go over tonight.

- Where's Dr. Lewis?

- Oh, he's parking the car.

Hi, I'm Julia.

You must be Nikki,
the your nanny.

You are going to love it here.

- Excuse me, I have
to set the table.

- Sure.

- I'm sure she invited herself.

- Who is she, is she a
friend of the family?

- No, she's a surgeon
at the hospital.

- You don't seem to
like it very much.

- Got that right.

- [Julia] This is wonderful,
Nikki, you're quite the cook.

- [Nikki] Thank you.

- [Ben] Yum, I love apple pie.

- Nikki is spoiling us
with all this good cooking.

We are one lucky family.

- You know what, I'll
have to have you guys over

to my place next
week for barbecue

and we can go swimming too.

- Cool.

- That'd be great.

- I mean that is, of course,

if Fawn can take some time
off from her studying.

I hear you are doing very well.

- Yeah.

- Look, Julia and I
have some work to do.

Nikki, could you bring us some
coffee in the living room?

- Of course.

- Thank you.

- [Julia] Thank you.

- [Ben] I'm gonna watch TV.

- I hear you're doing very well.

She doesn't care how I'm doing,

she just acts like she does.

- Why would she act like
she's interested if she isn't?

- It's all a show.

She's been after my dad

ever since my mom died,
a year ago, it's sick.

- Well, do you think that
he's interested in her?

- The more time he
spends with her,

the more he seems to like her.

I'm sure she's
determined to marry him.

- Your analysis is dead on.

- Not bad for a stuffy
old doctor, huh.

- Since when are you stuffy?

Old, maybe.

(Julia laughs)

Old, oh, hey, hey, hey.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Excuse me.

I brought your coffee.

- Thank you, Nikki.

- Thank you, Nikki.

- I know, but maybe more.
- Yeah.

- Help.

Dr. Lewis.

- Nikki?

- What is it, what happened?

- There was a knife
in the dish water

and I cut myself.

- Oh, God, oh.
- All right, all right.

- Ow, ow, ow.
- It's not that bad,

but you're gonna need stitches.

Apply pressure,

raise your arm up,

I'll get my car keys.

- Oh, I can take
her to the hospital,

you stay here and
finish your speech.

- You don't have to do that.

- It's okay, don't
worry, it's no problem.

I'll take good care of her.

Come on.
- Okay.

Okay, thanks.

(car engine roaring)

- So how long have
you known James?

- About three or four years.

- You like him a lot, don't you?

- He's a very special man.

(phone rings)

Hello.

Oh, Steven, hi, how
are you, sweetie?

Can I call you back
in the morning?

Oh, okay, sure.

Oh, I'd love to have dinner.

Next Wednesday sounds great.

Do you wanna pick
me up around eight?

Okay, great, can't
wait to see you.

(telephone rings)

- You may want to rethink
your position, Julia.

You know what happens
to people who end up

on the wrong side of things?

- What the hell are
you talking about?

- You're letting your
personal feelings

interfere with your judgment.

- Fuck you, Conrad.

- Anytime

- Who was that?

- That's Dr. Conrad.

How are you?

All stitched up?

- Oh yeah, I'm fine.

- Great, let's go.

- There they are.

Thanks for everything, Julia.

- It was my pleasure.

I'll see you tomorrow, okay.
- All right.

- Goodnight, Nikki.

- I am glad you're all right.

- Nothing a few
stitches couldn't cure.

Did you finish your speech?

- Yeah, almost.

- You must be really tired.

Do you want anything?

- No, no, no.

I'll just be
another half an hour

and then I'm gonna hit the sack.

You should go and
get some rest too.

Good night.

- Good night.

(gentle music)

He works so hard for us.

(ship horn honks)

(ship boards creak)

- What you got, Nikki?

- Oh, it's just a little
project I'm working on.

- Yeah, what is it?

- Tell you what?

If you do your homework and
you eat all of your dinner,

I will tell you what's
in the bag, okay.

- All right, deal.

- Dr. Lewis, I heard
you gave a great speech

to the review board.

- I tried my best.

- Unfortunately for
you, Howel and Decrane

have already assured me
that I've got their vote.

See you tonight at Dr.
Terask's retirement party.

It's too bad, he can't help you.

- I really don't want
to go to this party.

- Come on, Dr. Terask
is your friend.

You can't let Conrad
spoil a good time.

- I know, I feel like
I've got a knife,

sticking out of my back,

every time I hear his voice.

This is.

Will you?

- Here let me do that.

Remember that talk we
had about a month ago

about going up to Big Bear?

- Yes.

- Well, I went ahead

and made reservations
for this weekend.

- Julia, we can't go now,

what with everything that's
happening at the hospital.

- Why not?

Nothing's gonna change
at the hospital,

if you're gone for
a couple of days.

- Yes I know, but.

- [Julia] And you've got a
nanny now to watch the kids,

so they'll be fine.

- Don't do it, James.

- Well, you do present
a persuasive argument.

- You need a little
more convincing?

- Don't do it.

- Just a little.

All right, all right,
let's go, let's go.

- It'll be fun, come up.

You look gorgeous.
- And you.

(door knock)

- [Ben] I'm done
with my homework.

- Come on in, Ben.

Here you go.

- Nikki.

This is way cool.

Hey, Fawn, see
what Nikki got me.

- Wow.

Have to work at Boeing to
figure a thing like that out.

- Hey listen, kiddo, why
don't you go into your room,

start putting this together

and I'll be right there,

I gotta talk to your sister.

- [Ben] Are you gonna help?

- Yep, two minutes.

- Two minutes.
- Two minutes.

- [Ben] All right.

- So these are your books.

- Yeah, you can borrow
whatever you want.

- Where did you get this?

- Well, I figured I
should learn something

about the guy I'm working for.

Who's Andrea McBride?

- Oh, she's a friend of mine,

I stayed with for
a couple of days,

I borrowed her library card.

(Fawn laughs)

- You're in trouble,

this book it's way overdo.

- Bad habit of mine.

Listen, Fawn, I need to
talk to you about Julia.

After what you said, I'm
concerned for your father.

- Why what's the matter?

- Well, I was in the hallway

and I saw her in his room

and I happened to overhear her,

trying to convince
him into going

to Big Bear for the weekend,

just the two of them.

- I can see it now.

On Friday, they dash off

and by Monday, they
come back a couple.

- I'm sorry, Fawn.

Fawn and I are going
to be great friends.

- [Ben] Nikki, are
you coming or what?

- Be right there, Ben.

- [Rebecca] That's right, Dolly,

you make 50 cents
off of every bottle

that Cheryl and Tara sell.

- [Dolly] Count me in.

- All right, that's the spirit.

(telephone beeps)

Oh, I have another call.

I'll talk to you
later, bye, bye.

- [Dolly] Bye.

- Nature's Kitchen,
Rebecca McBride speaking.

(Troy laughs)

- What the hell are
you selling now?

- Troy, are you
back in Anchorage?

- Yeah, I got one
more week's work

and then I'm done.

So what's going on with Andrea?

- I don't know how to
tell you this, Troy,

but well, she's gone and
I don't know where she is.

I called that nuthouse

and they said she
left sometime ago.

- Well, what the
hell were you doing?

- Listen, they gave
her an early release.

- I don't really care
what they gave her.

When I'm out of town,

you're supposed to
keep an eye on her.

I give you enough damn money.

- Now calm down, Troy.

- You stupid bitch,

now I'm gonna have
to go and find her.

- She'll come back home.

She always does.

- Yeah, and what if she doesn't?

- She will, trust me.

- Yeah, right.

- So she went ahead
and made reservations

without telling you.

How thoughtful of her.

- Fawn,

we have both been working
very, very hard lately

and we just need a break.

- Long enough, so you
could sleep together.

- I can't believe
you just said that.

- And I can't believe
you'd do that to mom.

(door knock)

- [Fawn] Nikki.

- Come in.

Are you okay, Fawn?

- He is going to Big Bear
with that woman, for sure.

- You know, I didn't want
to say anything before,

but last week when we were
driving to the hospital,

Julia got a call from
somebody named Steven.

It sounded like they were lovers

and they made a date
for tomorrow night.

- Why am I not surprised?

I knew she was just using him.

Did he say where he was
gonna be taking her?

- No, but I know he's picking
her up at eight o'clock.

- Tomorrow night?

Thanks, Nikki.

I'm really glad I
can talk to you.

- I just want this
family to be happy.

(car engine roaring)

- Wow, punctual boyfriend.

- Hi.
- Hi, honey,

it's good to see you.

- What a slut.

(car engines roaring)

- [Julia] Looks crowded,
we gonna wait too long.

- Dad.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

- Yeah, sure.

- I think Julia is
seeing somebody else.

- What makes you think that?

- Well, I was out last night

and just happened to see
her with some other guy.

- You just happened to see her.

(plate breaks)

- Sorry.

- It's all right,
forget about it.

I've gotta get outta here
and over to the hospital.

You know, just for the record,

his name is Steven,

he's an old college
friend of Julia's

and whenever he comes to town,

she does everything
she can to see him.

- So she is seeing him?

- Not likely.

He's decidedly gay.

You know, it makes me sad
that you don't like Julia,

but I respect your
right to feel that way.

Just don't start coming
at me with rumors.

- Guess that means that he's
still going away this weekend,

with Julia.

(suspenseful music)

(Julia screams)

(car engine roaring)

(car doors close)

- Hey, go on up,

I'll help you hang up your suit.

Dad,

I just want to say
I'm sorry about Julia,

I really am.

- Why don't you go sit down

and I'll make you
something to eat.

I made you your favorite,
Avocado and Monterey Jack.

- Oh, thank you.

Nikki.
- Yes.

- I haven't really
thanked you enough

for everything you're doing.

I really consider you
part of our family.

- I really feel like
part of your family.

(gentle music)

Everything's gonna be all right.

- Thanks.

- Edna, forget
the multivitamins.

I mean, we can't do squat
against those free radicals.

You need something with
a lot more kick to it.

You need antioxidants.

And think, honey, for your
stomach problems, ginger root.

(Rebecca laughs)

What did you do that for?

I had a sale.

- I am tired of you gabbing
on this phone all goddam day.

- But that's what I do.

- No, that's what
you used to do.

What you're gonna do now is
help me find your daughter.

- And how am I
supposed to do that?

- That's your problem.

But if you don't figure it out,

I'm cutting loose and I'm
taking my money with me.

And then we'll all see

if you can live off this
fucking voodoo crap.

- [Andrea Voiceover]
The next morning,

as they sat in the gazebo.

- She asked when he first
fell in love with her.

- It was the last time we
celebrated your birthday.

- We had a picnic
down by the river.

- The swans were on the
water that day, as I recall.

It was dusk,

water was reflecting
on your face.

I knew it that moment
that I was in love.

(car engine roaring)

- Wow.

- Oh, shoot, my laptop.

- This was yours, wasn't it?

(car engine roaring)

Good evening, Dr.
Clarence, how are you

and your lovely
wife this evening?

And you Dr. Roberts, so
nice to see you again.

Well, if you'll excuse
us, my husband, James

has promised me the next dance.

- What are you doing?

Who are you talking to?

- Oh, these dresses
are so gorgeous.

- They belonged to my mother.

- I was just admiring them.

The beading is amazing.

- Could you please give
me my mother's gown?

- I'm sorry,

I'll put them back.

- No, I'll do it.

- Dr. Lewis, some important
issues have come up,

I'd like to discuss
them with you.

- Oh, and what are they?

- I won't take up
much of your time.

- Dad,

what's wrong?

You seem really out of it.

- Conrad, lowered
the boom today,

told me if the HMO takes over,

I may be asked to
leave St. Mary's.

- He can't do that.

- Yes he can.

He's in with them, very tight.

- After all the years
you spent there.

You made that
surgery department.

- Well then, I have
to go someplace else

and start all over again.

- [Ben] Nikki, you promised
you'd play me a game.

- Be right up, Ben.

- Dad,

I need to talk to
you about Nikki.

- What about?

- I think she wants to be

more than just a
nanny around here.

- What makes you say that?

- You should seen
her face light up

when you hugged,
after Julia's funeral.

- Come on, Fawn.

What do you think
she's interested in me?

- Yeah.

- Well, how flattering.

- Dad, I found her
in my room today

with one of mother's evening
gowns, talking to herself.

- Look, your mother's gowns
are very, very beautiful,

Nikki probably doesn't
have any clothes like that,

so what is the big deal?

- There's just something
weird about her.

- All nannies are weird.

Do you remember Jenny?

She read all those
medical journals

and then tried to
discuss them with me.

I mean just forget about it.

- It's different.

- Fawn, now you're going to
be leaving in a few weeks,

you got a lot more important
things to be worried about.

All right?

- Okay.

So what are we gonna
do about Conrad?

- [Dr. Lewis] Not
much we can do,

just wait and see what happens.

- Don't worry James,
it's all gonna work out.

- Hello.
- Yes.

- Hi, this is Lyn from
Dr. Bruce Harley's office.

I have to messenger some
papers over to Dr. Conrad

and I was wondering what time
he would be leaving tonight?

- [Woman] Around eight.

- Eight o'clock?
- Yes.

- Yeah, that's fine,

that should give
me plenty of time.

Thank you very much, bye.

- I'm serious.

I hear London is cold and
wet this time of year.

Nikki, enjoy your
night off, huh.

- You too.

(suspenseful music)

- Excuse me.

Hi, I can't find my car,

I was wondering if
you could help me out.

- You should talk to security,

they're inside the main lobby.

- Well, the thing is, I think
it may have been stolen.

So I was wondering,

can I borrow your cell
phone to call my husband?

- Look lady.

(dramatic music)

- I can't let you hurt James.

(car alarm rings)

- [Dr. Lewis Voiceover]
It was the last time,

we celebrated your birthday,

I knew at that moment
that I was in love.

- Happy birthday, Nikki.

Love, Marilyn.

Drink all that, this time.

- So are you ready
for your finals?

- Yeah,

just wish they weren't
all on the same day.

- Ooh, crunch time, huh.

- Yeah, no kidding.

So Nikki,

what you end up
doing last night?

- I saw "Haunted Love."

- Really?

I didn't know that
was still playing.

Where'd you go see it?

- At the Broadway Mall.

- That's weird.

I drove by there yesterday

and they were closed
for renovation.

You didn't go to the
movies last night, did you?

- Fawn, that's enough.

- No, actually she's right.

I didn't.

I made it all up.

- So where'd you go?

- Well, it was supposed
to be a surprise,

but hold on a second.

- What are you getting at?

- Dad, she's playing us all.

I don't know what
her angle is, but.

- You are so out
of line with this.

- What's your problem, Fawn?

- Fawn, I looked
around a long time

to find something, I
thought that you would like.

It's kind of a
going away present.

Sorry, I didn't have
time to wrap it.

- Are you happy now?

- You better apologize.

(telephone rings)

- Hello.

Yes, just a second please.

Dr. Lewis it's the hospital.

- Hello, Dr. Lewis.

What?

Oh my God.

Yes, yes, I'm not no way now.

- Dad, what's wrong?

- Conrad, he,

Conrad was found
murdered last night

in the parking
lot at St. Mary's.

- Oh my God.

What happened?

Do they know who?

- I don't know,

the police think
it was a mugging.

His wallet was missing.

- Come on, kiddo, we
gotta go to school.

- [Ben] Who's Conrad?

- He was a bad man who
got what he deserved.

(dramatic music)

- Let's see.

I know it's here somewhere.

Okay.

Employed for eight years to
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Jones.

New Hampshire, blah,
blah, blah, blah.

Entire family died
in a car crash.

There are no living references.

Must be someone who
knows something?

- [Troy] You're
wasting your time,

I already looked
through those files.

- Dammit, Troy,

been racking my brains.

I've been calling
everybody I know.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to take out
an ad on television?

- Somebody's gotta
know where she is.

- The question is, who?

Of course.

She'd never stop reading these.

And I'll bet you,

she gave 'em a
forwarding address.

- Damn mama, you're
an education.

(Rebecca laughs)

- Hi, my name is Fawn Lewis,

I am trying to reach
the relatives of
Susan or Daniel Jones.

Could you call me
back at 818-555-3726

or you can email me at
fawn@lewis.net, thanks.

- [Andrea] I love
seeing Ben so happy.

- Oh, he adores you, Nikki.

I haven't seen him like this
since before his mother died.

- I wish Fawn liked me as much.

- Yeah, Fawn's had a tough
year, with her mother gone

and she's just become
a little possessive

of Ben and I, that's all.

- I just hope that she
and I can make friends

before she goes away to England.

- Well, she's as
stubborn as her father.

Give her a little time,
she'll come around.

- Nikki, it really works.

- It's great.

- [Tanner] James, this
is the pleasant surprise.

How are you doing?

- [Dr. Lewis] Oh, fine Tanner.

Good to see you.

How are you?

- [Tanner] Terrific, and
I don't believe we've met.

- Forgive me, this is Nikki
Harcourt, she's our nanny.

Nikki, this is Dr.
Tanner Wallace,

he's the Chief of
Staff of St. Mary's.

- Please meet your, Nikki.
- Likewise.

- Listen, James, since the
unfortunate death of Conrad,

some of the partners
are starting

to rethink their
position on the HMO.

- I wish it was under
better circumstances.

But I must say
that as good news.

- I thought you'd like to know.

See you Monday.

- Thank you.

- Congratulations.

- Dad, Nikki,

this is so cool.

- Can you take a picture of us?

- Yeah, sure.

Okay, hold it right there.

(suspenseful music)

Do you have a
birthday coming up?

- Yes, I do.

- When is it?
- Friday.

- Well, why didn't you
say something, huh?

- I don't know.

Birthdays were never really
a big deal in my family.

- They're a big deal in ours.

- That's right and we are not
going to let this one slip by.

Now, do you have any plans?

Your friends taking you out?

- Well, most of my
friends are back East,

except for Marilyn,
she's out of town.

And this is from Marilyn.

- So what are you gonna do?

- Well, I was thinking
about taking myself

to a nice French restaurant.

- Oh no, no, no, no, no,

you're not going to sit
all alone in a restaurant.

- I know, that's boring.

- Let us take you.

- Oh no, I couldn't
let you make a fuss.

- No, I insist.

I have a perfect place
in mind for us to go.

- Well, I don't know
how I could say no.

I'd love to.

- Good.

- Cool.

- It's a date.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

- I'm studying right now.

- Well, it won't take long.

Your father and
Ben have invited me

for my birthday, on
Friday, to dinner.

Do you wanna come?

- That's the night my friends

are throwing me a
farewell party, I can't.

- That's too bad.

- I know.

Maybe next year.

- Good, little
bitch won't be here.

(suspenseful music)

- "Hey Fawn, I never heard
of Daniel Jones, sorry.

"Jonathan MacDougal.

"P.S. What do you look like?"

Great, pervert.

(suspenseful music)

(car engine roaring)

- Maybe too sexy.

He'll love it.

Hi, this is Nikki, Ben's nanny.

I'm fine, thank you.

You know, I don't
know about Kenny,

but Ben has been
dying for a sleep over

and I was thinking that

if Ben could stay with
you tomorrow night,

then we could have
Kenny over next Friday.

Great.

Oh, thank you, that
would be great.

- "Dear Miss. Lewis,

"sorry it's taken so
long to write back.

"I've been out of the
country for last week.

"Susan was my sister.

"She did have a nanny
named Nikki Harcourt

"and she was wonderful.

"I hope this helps you,

"Jason MacDougal."

Great.

She was a wonderful.

- [Andrea Voiceover]
After they finished

the birthday picnic,

Quinton tenderly
took Mandy's hand

and led her back to
Wrightwood Manor.

He drew her close and
peered deeply into her eyes,

so deeply that she
almost felt afraid.

But the warmth of his
touch soon quieted her.

- You're so beautiful.

- Kiss me.

- [Andrea Voiceover] She said.

And then he embraced her with
a love that was so strong,

so pure that they surrendered
completely to one another.

And she was happy for the
first time in her life.

Tomorrow, James, it's the
day our dreams all come true.

(car door slams)

- So you're gonna be ready
at two, when I pick you up.

- Yeah.

Are you sure, it's okay

that I go to Kenny's and
not your birthday dinner?

- Absolutely.

You're gonna have
a much better time.

- [Ben] Okay.

Save me a piece of cake.

- [Andrea] Two pieces of cake.

(suspenseful music)

- No pictures,

of her family.

Must be something.

"The Passion of Mandy."

"A desirable young nanny
works for a powerful widower.

"The gentleman falls in love."

I knew it.

(suspenseful music)

Where's the library card.

Shoot, I'm outta time.

(car engine roaring)

- This oughta be nice
and chilled by tonight.

(door bell rings)

Who could that be?

- Hello, Andrea, happy birthday.

- Troy.

- What's the matter,
cat got your tongue?

- How did you find me?

- Nice gig you got going here.

But I like you better
with long hair.

- You cannot stay
here, you've gotta go.

- I don't think so.

- If you don't leave right now,

I'm gonna call the police, okay.

- Oh, you won't.

Now go upstairs and
pack your stuff,

you're coming with me.

- I have a new life, Troy.

I don't want to be
with you anymore.

- New life, my ass, you are
my wife for Christ sakes.

Now, get going.

- What about all my stuff,

my books and my car.

- Fuck your car.

Now hurry up before I
drag you outta here.

It's your choice.

So why'd you disappear, huh?

You late for something?

- I'm supposed to pick
Ben up two o'clock.

- [Troy] Gee, that's
too fucking bad.

- You don't own me, Troy.

- 'Til death do us
part, remember Andrea.

Sounds like I own
something, to me,

like maybe your loyalty.

- Loyalty.

You are talking to
me about loyalty.

You are not a gentleman.

- You mean like the
kind you read about

in those stupid
little books of yours.

That's all bullshit.

Wake up and smell the
fucking coffee, will you.

- Pull over, I gotta pee.

- No, you can wait until
we get to a gas station.

- Troy, I need to go now.

Can you just pull
over somewhere,

where no one can see?

- Pain in the ass.

(car engine roaring)

Now don't you run
away on me now.

- I'm not gonna run away.

(suspenseful music)

(car door closes)

- Hey woman, you're
done squatting or what?

- Just a second.

(suspenseful music)

White trash.

- [Librarian] There you go.

Hello.
- Hi.

- Oh, there's a fine
of $11.25 on this book.

- Yeah, I know.

You guys usually send
me out a late notice.

I didn't get one this time.

Do you think you
can check to see

if my address is
listed correctly?

- You're listed at 1973 Fox
Hollow Road in Sun Valley.

- Yeah, thanks.

- Sure.

(car engine roaring)

- Don't worry, Ben, I'm coming.

(suspenseful music)

Oh, Ben, I'm sorry I'm late.
- That's okay.

Are you all right?

You look kinda tired.

- I've been shopping all day.

Buckle up.

Gotta hurry up and get
you over and Kenny's.

Don't wanna be late.

- What do you mean my car
is blocking your driveway.

- [Man] Just what I said.

- Where's my son-in-law.

- [Man] I'll have this car
towed, lady, if you don't.

- No, no, no, no,
don't have it towed.

- [Man] Well get over here.

- Give me your address,

I'll get a cab,
I'll be right there.

- Damn that Troy, making me
miss my hair appointment.

(door knock)

- Hi, what can I do you for?

- I'm looking for
Andrea McBride.

- And what is this regarding?

- Oh, I'm sorry, my
name is Fawn Lewis.

I just need to ask
her some questions.

My father hired a friend
of hers as our nanny.

- Really?

And who is that?

- Nikki Harcourt.

- That's a new name on me.

- I have a picture of her,
maybe that would help.

- I think I need my
glasses to look at this.

Why don't you come on in?

- Great.

- Don't mind the mess.

I'm a sales rep for
Nature's Kitchen.

Do you use that antioxidants?

- A little.

- Well, you ask a
doctor, he'll tell you,

they are the key to a
long and healthy life.

- Well, my dad's a
doctor, I'll ask him.

- You don't say?

What kind?

- Neurosurgeon.

- A brain doctor, huh.

Well, he needs to be
mentally alert in his job.

Ginkgo biloba's perfect for him.

What about your mother?

- She died a year ago.

- Oh honey, I'm so sorry.

- [Fawn] Oh, no, it's okay.

- And listen, if you're
depressed, mugwort is.

- I'm sorry, do
you recognize her?

- Sure wish I did
know, but I don't.

- Do you know where
I can find Andrea?

- All I know is she's
staying with some friends

for a couple of days,

I'm not even sure which ones.

(car horn honks)

Oh, I gotta go.

My keys.

(suspenseful music)

Come on, honey, we
gotta get outta here.

Cab's here.

Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

- [Fawn] That's okay.

- Bye, bye.
- Bye.

(suspenseful music)

Shit.

Jen, hi, I'm going to
be late for the party.

I know, just tell everyone
I'm going to be there, okay.

- [Jen] Well don't be too long.

- It's important.
- Okay.

- Great, thanks.
- Bye.

(suspenseful music)

- Like the dress?

It's new.

- Well, I must say
you look gorgeous.

I got your message

about Ben being at a overnight.

I just wish you
would have asked me.

- I'm really sorry, I didn't
think you would mind, honestly.

He wanted to go so badly.

- Well, I guess it's
just the two of us, huh.

- That's right.

(taxi engine roaring)

- Blood?

What the hell has
been going on here?

(shower water running)

(dog barks)

- That's Nikki.

- [Dr. Lewis] Hey.

- So where are we going?

- It's a surprise.

(telephone rings)

Wait a minute.

Hello.

- [Man] Hi, Dr. Lewis.

- Yes.

- [Man] Did you get my page?

- No, I didn't get your page.

Sure, sure, I'll be
there in 10 minutes.

It's an emergency at the
hospital, one of my patients.

So I'm, really very sorry
but it could take some time.

But I'll tell you what,

why don't you change into
something a little more casual

and if I'm not back to
late, we will order in.

- I'll be here.

- I'm sorry.

- Well, it's just all part
of being a doctor's wife.

I mean, I'm just gonna have
to learn to get used to it.

- "Camarillo
Psychiatric Hospital.

"Andrea McBride.

"Extended stay, 22 weeks.

"Patient discharged."

Oh my God.

- [Dr. Lewis Voicemail] This
is Dr. Lewis, leave a message.

- Dad, it's Fawn.

Call me back right
away on my cell phone,

as soon as you get
this page, bye.

- Andrea, wake up, wake up.

- Mom.

What are you doing here, mama?

- Well, honey, Troy
told me last night,

where he found you.

Then today I get this call,

telling me that my car

has been abandoned in
the middle of town.

So I go there, I find the car
and I find blood in the car,

but no Troy.

- I swear, he never
showed up here.

- Sweetie, you
can't kid a kidder.

So what did you do with him?

- I didn't do anything to him.

Well, he was no good, anyway.

Good riddance.

- What do you want?

- A girl named Fawn,
visited me today.

- What, what?

- She asked about
Andrea McBride.

- Oh, my God.

What did you tell her, mama?

- I didn't tell her anything.

I don't have to tell anybody
anything, do I, Nikki?

- Alright, you're getting
at something, mama,

just spit it out.

- This is a wonderful house.

- Yes.

- It's just like one
of those mansions,

you always talked about
from your storybook.

- Please.

- The man that owns this place
must be very rich, indeed.

A doctor, huh?
- Yes.

- I like this house.

I like what you're
doing with your life.

- He's home already, mama,
you've gotta get out of here.

Now, now.
- It's okay,

it's okay, I'll let
myself out of the back.

Same way I came in.

- Just go.

- Hush girl, go take
care of business.

- Hello.

- I didn't expect you so soon.

- Hell, turns out our problem
didn't require surgery

and I am starved.

Should we order some food?

- Actually I made us something.

- Boy, I owe you one
big time, don't I?

- Everything's ready to cook.

- All right, if
you'll excuse me,

I'll go freshen up.

- Okay.

(suspenseful music)

- Caught a glimpse
of your fella,

he's a handsome one.

A lot better looking than
old huckleberry, Troy.

Looks like you're
planning something,

real nice for him tonight.

- That is none of your business.

Why aren't still here?

- I just thought
I would make sure

that my with dimwit daughter
didn't screw things up

for both of us.

- What do you mean?

- The herbal market
has its limits.

And obviously Troy is
not gonna be chipping in,

his usual share.

So I have to count on you.

- I got cash in my purse, mama.

(Rebecca laughs)

- I don't think you understand.

I mean on a regular basis.

- What?

- This is your fault.

You lost my source of income

and you have to replace it.

- Get out of here, now.

- No, no, not until we come
to a suitable arrangement.

Otherwise I'm going to have
to tell the good doctor,

what a fraud you are.

- You wouldn't dare.

- Oh, wouldn't I?

I have nothing to lose,

especially not you, you
ungrateful little brat.

It took me 10 years to
get that weight off.

You owe me.

- Shut up, just shut up.

I don't owe you anything.

- Fine.

Let's just see what
the doctor has to say.

- I hate you, I hate you,

you always ruin everything.

You are the reason
that daddy left

and I had to be your slave.

Clean up after mama, Andrea,

cook for mama, Andrea.

Don't go to school Andrea

because you don't fit
in with the other kids.

You know, I have
something better

for myself right now, mama

and you are not
gonna screw it up.

- You're getting sick in
the head again, Andrea.

I'll bet they put you right
back in that nuthouse,

and this time for good.

Yeah, that got her
attention, didn't it?

She ain't as dumb as she looks.

(Rebecca laughs)

Multiple vitamins.

What the hell brand is this?

I guess I should put Dr. Prince
Charming on my mailing list.

(Rebecca laughs)

(dramatic music)

- Burn in hell, mama.

- Nikki, is
everything all right?

- Yeah, I just
dropped something.

- Oh, what's for dinner?

(car engine roaring)

Are you okay?

You seem just a little nervous.

- I'm always nervous
on my birthday.

- Well, Nikki,

someday you are going to make
some lucky guy, very happy.

- Well, I would like
to propose a toast.

- Yes.

- Thank you for being
with me on my birthday.

(suspenseful music)

You are the most wonderful man.

(suspenseful music)

- No, no, no, no, no,
Nikki, I can't do this.

I can't do this.

- I know you think
I'm attractive.

- Yes, I find you
very attractive.

- See, I knew it, I
knew you liked me.

- I like you as a person.

- So you didn't wanna
be with me tonight?

- I wanted to make sure

that you weren't alone
on your birthday.

I'm sorry if I misled
you in any way.

- What about all those
things that you said to me?

- What things?

- All the things about
how wonderful I am

and how you couldn't
do without me.

- That doesn't
mean I want to have

a romantic
relationship with you.

Nikki.

- You don't think
I'm good enough.

- I don't think that at all, no.

- Do you have any idea what
I've had to go through for you?

Do you even know what
I have done for you?

- What are you talking about?

- How could you be so selfish?

How could you just
use me like that

and then not give
me anything back?

How dare you?

- Nikki, come on, come on.

It's obvious, you're very upset.

- No, fuck you.

Just treat little
Nikki like shit

and then just throw her away.

Fuck you.

- I'm gonna get you something
to help you calm down.

All right.

- Don't you walk away from me.

(dramatic music)

Forgive me my love.

(car engine roaring)

- Dad.

- I thought you were
supposed to be out

with your little
college friends.

- I had a conversation with
your mother today, Andrea.

- That's funny, so did I.

- Dad.

- He's around.

In fact he and I are
thinking about taking a trip,

Big Bear or Mexico.

- Cut the bullshit.

- I've never been to Mexico.

And you know what, Fawn,
you're not invited.

(dramatic music)

I realize, James is a
little confused right now.

Once I get him alone,

he's gonna realize how
special his Nikki really is

and then nobody is gonna
get between us again.

- No, no.

(Fawn screams)

(Dr. Lewis moans)

- Damn.

- Open the door.

Open up.

This is my room now.

(dramatic music)

You're not welcome here.

(Andrea screams)

- Stop.

(dramatic music)

- Nikki.

Nikki don't.

Hey.

She's part of our family.

- She tried to tear us apart.

- No, no, no, it's
okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

I won't let that happen.

See, I realize now how
much you mean to me.

I mean deep in my heart.

I have always known that
you are the only one.

I just didn't dare say it.

Now, Fawn,

Fawn will have to understand.

(suspenseful music)

There is no one in the world

that I'd rather be with.

Please, I need you.

- James, you don't know how
I've prayed for this to be true.

- Oh, I do know.

I do.

And your wait is over.

Please come into
my arms, my love.

Come.

(Andrea cries)

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- [Andrea] Our wedding will be
the talk of all New England.

- [Nurse] Andrea, it's
time for your medication.

- As I have told you before,

my name is Mrs. Lewis.

Why must I keep
repeating myself?

- You're right, Mrs.
Lewis, I'm so sorry.

- I would love some tea
and butter cookies, please.

- I'll see what the
help can come up with.

(door slams)

(suspenseful music)

(majestic music)
