Last on "Rich Man, Poor Man - Book ll":

I may not be able to stop Claire...

but I sure as hell can stop Jordache.

If you leave me,
God knows what'll happen to me.

What happens to you now is up to you.
You can go back to hustling,

you can hurt yourself,
you can be good to yourself...

I hope you choose to be good to yourself,
but I can't make that choice for you.

Why not bring the senator
out here, to you?

- How do I do... how do I do that, sir?
- He has a nephew living here,

if I'm not mistaken.

I thought you might like to join us.

The Crow Canyon turnoff on 266.

Falconetti! You want me here, I'm here!

Wes! Go back!

Falconetti. He got me,
and then Wes came to help...

and he got Wes.
Then he drove us here.

- How bad is it?
- Bad.

- I'll be on the next plane out.
- I'll get the police on it.

Maybe they can pick up Falconetti. He's
working as a guard at the Tricorp hotel.

Don't involve the police.

I'll take care of Falconetti myself.

Brand-spanking new,
and no way to trace it.

The serial number's
been burned off with acid.

- How much?
- Two bills.

Shells?

Enough?

Hey.

If you know anybody else
that needs a little self-protection,

send them to me here.

(buzzing)

Yes?

Ask her to come in.

Charles Estep's swan song,
lyrics courtesy of his wife.

It's all right here in her deposition.

Dietrich's identity,
Estep's involvement in Scotty's death.

- Enough to pique a grand jury's interest.
- Where is she now?

In a house in Maryland, under guard. She
doesn't leave until she's ready to testify.

Now, when the hearings resume,

I will make a short but eloquent speech
outlining the charges against you,

then you will take the witness chair
and lower the boom on Mr Estep.

I'm afraid you'll have
to take it from here.

- What do you mean?
- I'm going to Las Vegas.

- You're going to Las Vegas?
- My plane leaves in an hour.

Are you insane? This is it.
This is what we've been struggling for.

We finally have the ammunition
to put Estep away and you won't be here?

Wesley's in Vegas.

He's been hurt.

- How badly?
- He's on the critical list.

Oh, Rudy, I'm sorry.
What happened?

I don't really know.

Maybe I can get the hearings postponed.
How long will you be gone?

I'm not sure.

Can you give me any idea?
A day, a week, a month?

I'm not thinking that far ahead any more.

Rudy, is it just Wesley,
or is there something else?

Give 'em hell at the hearings.

- Need a lift to the airport?
- I have a ride already, thanks.

Anyone I know?

Kate.

When the hearings are over,
I don't suppose there'll be much point

in my sticking around in Washington,
will there?

Not professionally.

Do we have any other
kind of relationship?

What is it you called us
the first time we had dinner? Uh...

A couple of overachievers
in the romance department?

I guess we both tried a little too hard
to make it perfect.

Maybe we should have gone with
the feeling, seen where it took us.

- The way you did with Kate?
- Yes.

She happened to come along
at exactly the right time.

- I know.
- I needed her.

- And now?
- Now...

Now I'm not thinking past Las Vegas.

Well, there's only one problem
with that, Rudy.

Neither one of us knows
whether I'll be here when you get back.

Maggie, I'm not thinking
past Las Vegas.

I hope Wesley will be all right.

Maggie.

You are a very special woman.

Oh, Rudy.

Well, that's just about the nicest
brushoff any girl could ask for.

Don't be too sure it's over.

Don't worry, we'll make it.

You know, when you phoned, I felt
as if I had won one of those sweepstakes.

You know, an all-expense-paid vacation
to Dulles airport.

It doesn't take much
to please you, does it?

Well, I figured that Maggie
might be taking this ride with you.

Why?

Cos I thought I probably scared
you off with what I said yesterday.

- The fortune cookie?
- The message inside the fortune cookie.

Something about "I love you"?

It was a misprint.

- Was it?
- Mm-hm.

- If that's what you want to hear.
- I want to hear what you want to say.

I swore to myself
that I'd never say that.

You've got enough on your mind
without me falling in love with you.

- Is that what happened?
- Without me looking.

Oh, Rudy,
I can't compete with Maggie.

She's a grown-up.

- That's true.
- And she's beautiful.

And she's intelligent,
and she does things, important things.

And all I want is to love a man
and die in bed with him when I'm 90.

That's no great shakes
as a long-range goal, is it?

It has its advantages.

Especially for the man,
if you're lucky enough to be him.

I don't think I could change...

not even for you.

I wouldn't want you to change.

Could you stand it
for the rest of your life?

I don't know.

But it's a tempting thought.

How tempting?

You know...

Sometimes I think
the Mormons have the right idea.

- You mean marrying us both?
- Mm-hm.

The thought's crossed my mind,
usually around three in the morning.

If you could put the two of us together,

you would probably have
the perfect Mrs Rudy Jordache.

Mm-hm.

Unfortunately it can't be done.

No, it can't.
And so it's up to you.

And sooner or later,
you're going to have to make the choice.

I know.

Do you want my advice?

Punt.

Mrs Jordache...

did anyone ever tell you
you're nuts?

- (Estep) What are you doing?
- I'm checking.

- I'm expecting a call.
- It'll just take me a minute.

Put it down.

Now!

What's the matter with you?

I'm the one who's supposed
to have opening night jitters.

I apologise.

I'm sorry.

But right now, I cannot agonise
over your poster and your wardrobe

and whether or not
the audience will love you.

Are you always this warm
the morning after?

Annie...

Charles, I'm beginning to believe
you don't care about me or my career.

You just wanted to use me
so you could hurt Billy.

Annie, if you knew

how totally unimportant Billy Abbott was
in the grand scheme of things,

- you would never say that.
- How important am I?

You're very important.

(phone rings)

Yes.

Speaking.

That should put him in here
about three o'clock our time.

No, that's all at your end.
Thank you.

If you're that worried
about the audience tonight,

why don't you go downstairs
and check the reservations in person?

Sure.

Barber, please.
Estep speaking.

Al, Jordache is due in
at three o'clock from Washington.

Have someone at the airport.

I wanna know where he is
minute by minute.

Right.

Hey, hey.

Everything is gonna work out just fine.

You'll see.

No change.

I don't understand it.

Why can't they stop the bleeding?

Falconetti ruptured Wes's kidney.

They're pumping coagulates into him,
they're just not taking.

Hey, why don't you go home and get
some shuteye? I'll stay and mind the fort.

- How's Wes?
- The same.

Billy, I'm sorry about
the other morning.

The last thing in the world
I want to do is to hurt you.

This isn't exactly the place
to talk about that.

That's not what I came here for.

Some things you were telling me about
Charles, about him being dangerous.

Well, it takes things
a while to sink in,

but now I'm finally
beginning to believe you.

Did you know your stepfather
is coming to Vegas?

- Yeah, I called him about Wes.
- Charles knows he's coming too.

He's sending someone to follow him.

Estep?

Why is he keeping track
of your stepfather?

- Do you know what flight Rudy's on?
- Gets in at three.

Thanks, Annie.

Billy.

Don't give up on me yet.

You know me.
I never give up till the last chorus.

Rudy.

- How did you know what flight I was on?
- I didn't, but Charles Estep knew.

- How's Wes?
- Still critical. Can't stop the bleeding.

Rudy, one of these charming tourists
is here to follow you.

- You got a car?
- Yeah.

Let's go to the hospital.

Why does Estep
want to keep tabs on you?

Ask him.

Rudy.

What are you doing here?

I was in the neighbourhood,
thought I'd drop by.

Who told you?

Billy.

You shouldn't have come.

Now, that's a hell of a greeting.

It's a setup. Falconetti could
have killed me 20 times out there.

He brought me here instead.

He knew once you'd heard,
you'd come after him.

Rudy...

I don't... want to lose you
the way I lost my father.

Promise... Promise me.

What?

Promise me you won't
go after Falconetti.

I promise.

Rudy, my whole life
has been one long line of mistakes.

That's not true.

What about us?

I blew that.

I couldn't talk.

I didn't listen to reason.

- I just split.
- Well...

The mistakes were made
on both sides.

I don't really think we ever lost
the feeling we had for each other.

Your know, your father and I
were at each other all the time.

But when I left for college,

there wasrt a day that went by
when I didn't think about him.

The same with you.

Wes.

Yeah?

My father once asked me

if I thought the sons were responsible for
the sins of the father.

You think that's true?

No.

I don't think so.

That's exactly what I said.

Better get some rest.

Yeah.

I'll be back later.

You know that, uh... family...

I was always looking for?

It was there all the time.

- Was he awake?
- You can see him later. He needs rest.

- I'll go to the hotel.
- I'm not going to a hotel.

Let me buy you a drink.

I don't want company, Billy.

Rudy, leave it alone.

Vicki, what was the name of that guy
Wes used to find Falconetti?

Never mind why,
just give me his number.

(buzzing)

Yeah.

Who?

Tell him I'm in a meeting.

- Falconetti, Anthony Falconetti.
- Senator, nice...

- He's been working here.
- I'm sorry, I didn't get the name.

- He's wanted for murder.
- I don't think he's...

You've been harbouring a fugitive.
Where is he?

Listen, friend.

How'd you like to explain his presence
in your casino to the county sheriff?

Don't threaten me, Senator.
See, I was a cop for 18...

I haven't started threatening you, friend.

How'd you like a Senate investigation
on your doorstep?

I'd love it,
cos there ain't nothing to investigate.

No?

We can start with skimming,

and then work our way to the gentlemen
who spend time in your private cottages,

the ones who bring in
that pension fund money.

That's all been tried before,
you can't prove nothing.

I can put this clip joint
under a spotlight,

and that would make you an unpopular
fella with Mr Estep and company.

You'd go to all that trouble
for some creep?

That's right, so you'd better
start digging him up. Now.

All right, back off a minute.

Let me make
a couple of phone calls, huh?

I'll be at that number.
Call me in an hour.

And you'd better say more than hello.

I just went a couple of rounds
with that senator.

- He's here. Good.
- Good?

He threatened to haul me in front
of the sheriff and investigate the hotel

unless I hand over
that creep Falconetti.

- We'll have to give him what he wants.
- That'll be my pleasure.

Only not quite the way he expects it.

In case you wondered, I've kept
Falconetti around for a very good reason.

- Yeah? What?
- To kill Jordache.

The senator
has complicated my life no end.

It is about time
he starts to pay for that grief.

Boss, there's got to be
some other way.

No. Falconetti's perfect.

He has a motive.
All we have to do is supply the means.

I want it to happen in front of people,
someplace crowded,

so there's no mistake
about who did the shooting.

The casino, I think,
just before Annie's ten o'clock show.

And then after Falconetti's
dropped the senator, you step in.

And you drop Mr Falconetti.

- Are you crazy?
- No.

After he kills Jordache,
he's useless.

Except to tie me into the whole thing.

We're talking about
a United States senator.

You're not going
to do anything to him.

You're going to kill the man
who killed the United States senator.

You'll be a hero. You could probably
be elected governor of this state.

In fact, here is
your first campaign contribution.

$100,000.

Make it neat, Al.

Well, say something, anything. Just so
I know I'm not going deaf down here.

You're gonna hit Jordache tonight.

Well, I heard that loud and clear.
When?

- Ten o'clock.
- Where?

The casino.

Come on, I'm gonna go up there
and shoot him with all them people?

That's right.
Hey, it's all been worked out.

Oh, yeah? By who?

Mr Estep.
Look, here's a map of the casino.

Jordache is gonna come through here.

You're gonna be there. When he heads
for my office, you drop him.

All those people.

Hey, can you just see those old broads
at the slot machines?

When you come out blasting, they'll
scream like they just hit a $10,000 jackpot.

Maybe even the crap players
will pay attention.

Barber.

What happens to me, huh?

Huh?

With all that pushing and screaming
that's going on,

you're going to go right out
through the kitchen and get away.

Yeah, with all them people.

Estep worked this out himself.

He figured this is the easiest way
for you to do the job and then split.

Hey, besides, I'm going to be right there,
watching your back.

How did Wes know
Falconetti worked at the Tricorp?

For God's sakes. You talked to the
hospital. They've stopped the bleeding.

There has to be a name,
a number, something.

Wes is going to be all right.
There's no point to this.

You think it's over
just because Wesley pulled through?

What about next time? Maybe one of us
won't be so lucky when it happens again.

- Then get the police to arrest Falconetti.
- So he'll be bailed out?

I'll be filling out the forms,
he'll be back out.

You're a senator. You stood up
in Washington making laws,

telling people what's right
and what's wrong.

You can't just ignore
everything you are.

Well, I can't live with it any more, Billy.

I am not going to spend all my life
pretending Falconetti doesn't exist.

Do you know what this is going
to do to you? It'll be all over for you.

Everything. Washington, everything.
Because you played Falconetti's game.

Maybe that's the game
I was meant to play.

No, dammit!

Look, if you want to cut somebody down,
start with me.

I'm the one that sold you out to Estep.

I can't buy that back for you, Billy.

You're going to have
to make peace with it yourself.

I'm sorry.

For all those wasted years.

I should have taken more time
to be a father to you, and I didn't.

(phone rings)

- Hello.
- (Barber) Senator?

Yes.

I've located that package
we've been looking for.

It'll be in my office at ten o'clock.

I'll be there to pick it up.

(Billy) Falconetti?

He'll be in Barber's office.

Ten o'clock.

- Care for the same?
- Lucy.

What?

- You ain't been a nice girl.
- I don't work for you, Al, so buzz off.

Ow!

You told that blond kid
where Falconetti was stashed.

What kid?

Now, talk straight. There ain't
a big market for one-armed waitresses.

So I told him. So what?

So you feel bad about it
because he's in the hospital.

- Is he all right?
- Who cares?

You know who Senator Jordache is?

- I've seen him on TV.
- He's gonna be in here about ten o'clock.

I want you to keep an eye out for him.

So you want me to tell you
when he comes in?

No. I want you to tell him
how sorry you are about his nephew,

and how it was you
who tipped him to Falconetti.

- Why? Ow!
- Do it.

I just want you
to keep him occupied for a while.

Over there.

- You think you can do it, honey?
- What do I get out of this?

Your arm - it stays in one piece.

Ten o'clock.

(Estep) Thank you, gentlemen.

- Charles Estep?
- Yes.

We're federal marshals.
We have a warrant for your arrest.

- Well?
- Well, it was tough.

You don't know how tough it was.

- Where is he?
- I mean, I covered the whole city.

You know?
From one end to the other.

Shoe leather alone
has gotta be won'th another 50 bucks.

There's my throat, I'll probably have
to go to a throat doctor or something.

Cos when I wasrt walking, I was talking.
Calling, I must have spent 30, 40...

OK.

You don't wanna know
what I had to go through.

You want a kick in the head?

He never left the hotel.

Falconetti, he's in the basement
of the Tricorp hotel.

Gimme.

It's gonna cost you
a little more than I told you.

- How much?
- Another yard.

Taxi.

Downstairs.

(man) Just play that.

How you doir?

Mr Barber, first time for you.

Deal.

Hey, what are you
doing this for, kid?

Look, you're gonna
get yourself in real trouble.

Do you know what you've done?

You kidnapped me.

- You kidnapped me.
- Just till 11 o'clock.

What happens then?

Rudy'll be gone,
I'll turn you over to the police.

Relax. You've got a while yet.

- Senator Jordache?
- Yes.

Hi.

I didn't know it was gonna turn out
like that. If I did, I wouldn't have done it.

What are you talking about?

Hey, is it OK if I have
a cigarette, kid?

Sure.

Cigarette.

Look, you got me a little shook, kid.
I'll admit it, I'm sorry.

They're not that good for you anyway.

Look, I need it, please. Please.

Yeah, go ahead.

Slow.

So then he says to me...
So I figure...

Excuse me,
I've got an appointment.

I'll never forgive myself
if anything happens. How is he?

I just told you. He's fine.

Thank God for that, huh?

Rudy!

(gunshot)

Are you OK?

- Never better.
- OK.

Falconetti!

Please. Please, look,
it wasrt me, sir.

I swear it wasrt me.
I swear it.

Estep made me do it.

I didn't want to hurt that kid.

I'm on my knees to you.

I'm begging you.

Get up.

I'm begging you for my life.

Please.

Please.

You want something?

Anything? What do you want?

You want Estep, Senator?
You want him, I'll get him for you.

I don't want you on your knees.

Get up, now.

(newsreader) And now for the news.
From the natiors capital,

the censure hearings against
Senator Rudy Jordache collapsed today

under a mountain of evidence
indicating that Charles Estep

engineered the proceedings
with perjured testimony.

Estep was subsequently arrested
in Dallas, Texas,

on charges ranging
from bribery to murder.

The White House issued a statement
congratulating Senator Jordache

on the outcome of the censure hearings.

Jordache is being hailed
by fellow senators

as the new conscience of the Senate.

As of this report, the senator
was unavailable for comment.

It's presumed he's in seclusion,
celebrating his victory.
