02:07waylee
02:09I just talked to your parents.
02:38They told me they know about you and Casey not being married
02:41and that they disowned you.
02:46I am so sorry.
02:48I don't know what to do, Eileen.
02:52Don't worry, Ray.
02:55I'll do everything I can to help you.
02:59No, Ray.
03:01Let me help you.
03:08Well, look at it this way.
03:15Besides a little broken glass and a few shattered nerves,
03:19this robbery didn't turn out that bad.
03:20Provided you don't slice your finger out first, Meg.
03:23Please, let me sweep this.
03:25Okay.
03:25Besides, I think this whole thing
03:30just brought myself and Ben closer together, you know?
03:34Yeah, well, just don't get too close.
03:36Well, you keep saying that, but why?
03:42Let's just say this isn't the first time
03:44I've swept up glass in this office.
03:51Ben threw a chair through that window once.
03:55Right after his wife died.
03:57Wow, he must have been crazy with grief.
04:04Yeah, but, uh, it was more than that.
04:08Like what?
04:12Mark?
04:13Mark?
04:13Mark?
04:27Mark?
04:27Mark?
04:29Mark?
04:38Mark?
04:39I love you, Ben.
05:05I'll love you forever.
05:09Ben?
05:29Ben?
05:32Ben?
05:35Ben?
05:36Ben?
05:37Ben?
05:38Ben?
05:39Ben?
05:40Ben?
05:41Ben?
05:42Ben?
05:43Ben?
05:44Ben?
05:45Ben?
05:46Ben?
05:47Ben?
05:48Ben?
05:49Ben?
05:50Ben?
05:51Ben?
05:52Ben?
05:56Ben?
06:01Ben?
07:03What are you doing here?
07:08Don't get weird, Ben. I'm just getting the rest of my stuff out of here.
07:11I know how badly you want me under your hair.
07:13Here, let me help you.
07:26I just can't wait to get rid of me, can you?
07:28I didn't want it to end this way, Annie.
07:31I honestly thought once this whole thing was finally over, we'd be celebrating.
07:34Well, we could try now, can't we?
07:37Not now, thanks.
07:39I'm really in no mood to celebrate the fact that you've been working with Eddie Connors.
07:42Ben, I know it was wrong to deal with Eddie and to keep it from you,
07:45and you have every right to be very, very angry with me, but...
07:48What, do you think I should forgive you anyway?
07:54You think?
07:56You never cease to amaze me, Annie.
07:59Okay, Ben, I admit it.
08:03I am...
08:03I'm rotten to the core.
08:05I'm bad.
08:05I'm bad, bad, bad, Annie.
08:07Come on, Ben.
08:09You wouldn't know how to deal with me any other way.
08:11I mean, that's who I am.
08:13I'm...
08:13I'm good old Annie, always screwing up, always doing something wrong,
08:17and you're always there to bail me out.
08:21I mean, admit it.
08:23It's a lot more fun that way.
08:25And think about it.
08:26I mean, how dull would life be the last two months if it wasn't for me?
08:31You know, I could get used to dull.
08:33I'm right, aren't I?
08:36Okay, let's just drop it.
08:40For now.
08:43Are you all right?
08:45Why wouldn't I be?
08:45Well, I was just watching you upstairs by the door,
08:50and I thought maybe that...
08:51Well, just don't.
08:53I'm sorry.
08:55I have to get to work.
09:10Gregory's not home.
09:12And the office doesn't know where he is.
09:14Oh.
09:14The hearing is about ready to start.
09:17I really thought he'd come through with me.
09:20Do you know something, Olivia?
09:21I cannot believe that you involved Gregory in this.
09:24There's just no telling the information he's going to dig up.
09:26Pardon the pun.
09:29Bad.
09:30What?
09:33He knows.
09:35Knows what?
09:35I told him about stealing Elaine's baby.
09:48You what?
09:49Have you lost your marbles?
09:50How dare you risk involving us in this?
09:55How dare you risk involving us in this?
09:55Before you lapse into total hysteria.
09:58I never mentioned your name.
10:00He doesn't know about your involvement.
10:03Mr. McGregory's concerned.
10:05He thinks I acted alone.
10:07Oh, so what?
10:08You should never have told him.
10:09What possessed you to do that?
10:10He's my husband.
10:11Oh, please.
10:12I mean, he's allowing to everything in his power to keep the secret out of the trial.
10:19Oh, brother.
10:20I hope you're right.
10:21You can't keep beating yourself off, Ricardo.
10:26Paula has to realize that none of this is your fault.
10:28It doesn't matter whose fault it is.
10:29She's still going to hold me responsible for all of it.
10:33If you won't help yourself, at least do it for me.
10:36Stop it, Paula.
10:37I really don't want to hear it.
10:38Well, I don't care, Mom.
10:41You're my mother.
10:42You're the only one I have.
10:44And I won't lose you.
10:46You have to plead not guilty.
10:49Thank you so much, Holly.
10:51I'm sorry I'm so late.
10:56Bob Webster, I'm your court-appointed attorney.
11:01Everyone please be seated.
11:04At least think about what I said, Mom.
11:08This hearing is now in session.
11:12People versus Elaine Stevens.
11:15Elaine Stevens?
11:16She's here, Your Honor.
11:18Tell your client to please stand.
11:21The charge is murder in the first degree.
11:26Do you understand the charges against you?
11:29I do, Your Honor.
11:31Then how do you plead?
11:32Your Honor, before the defendant answers,
11:34we'd like a moment for her to confer with her new attorney.
11:37How are you going to help me, Casey?
11:47For starters, I already put in several calls to your parents.
11:51And?
11:52Well, unfortunately, they're not taking any calls.
11:54I'm headed over to their hotel right now.
11:56Not a good idea.
11:59Let me try to reach them.
12:00You're wasting your time, Wei Li.
12:04I told you, they're not taking any calls.
12:11Yes, can you put me through to Mr. Chang's room, please?
12:16Just tell them it's Wei Li calling.
12:18They're putting me through.
12:34I want to try...
12:35Mark, why would Vang throw a chair through the window?
12:39Can we just drop it, okay?
12:40No, I want to know.
12:40Meg, I'm sorry I mentioned it.
12:42Well, it had something to do with Maria's death, didn't it?
12:51Every year, around the anniversary of Maria's death,
12:56Ben loses it.
12:58It's coming up soon, and I don't think you should be around for it.
13:03Poor guy.
13:04You know, I...
13:05I don't know that much about Maria, didn't...
13:09Did you know her?
13:11Not well.
13:12The boating accident happened shortly after I started working here.
13:17She's such a mystery to me.
13:19Yeah.
13:20She's practically a saint to everybody else.
13:24You know, where did they live before she died?
13:27In the same place Ben's at now.
13:30Really?
13:30Mm-hmm.
13:32I'm surprised he still lives there.
13:34I mean, most people, when they lose someone,
13:37they can't stand to stay in the same place.
13:39I don't know, but I do know Ben kept the house the exact same way.
13:45He hasn't moved anything, except for maybe the studio.
13:49What studio?
13:51Maria was an artist.
13:52She had her own studio in the house.
14:00So that's what that locked room is.
14:02Wow, I just thought it was a storage room or something.
14:07I wonder why Ben has kept it locked up after all this time.
14:12I think it's slow around here.
14:24Um, no.
14:26Uh, we're just finishing up.
14:29And perhaps, Mark, you wouldn't mind restocking the bar?
14:31Sure.
14:34Meg, I'd appreciate it if you'd, um,
14:36get some figures as the computer for me.
14:39Sure, but unfortunately, the computer was broken last night.
14:43I called a technician.
14:44He'll be here in a little while.
14:46Well, this really can't wait.
14:47Perhaps you could go over to my place and use the computer over there.
14:50Find backup copies of everything you'll need.
14:52Sure.
14:54Will you be coming with me?
14:56I can't.
14:57I have to wait for the window to be repaired.
14:58Oh, well, you know, all of this should take me a while,
15:05so I should still be there when you get home.
15:07How'd you like to have dinner?
15:12Ben?
15:15Ben, is everything okay?
15:17Fine.
15:20I just thought that after last night we could have...
15:23You better be on your way if you're going to finish that word.
15:28Sure.
15:28Great.
15:41We'll see you at Grenadine's, then.
15:44Everything's all set.
15:46I don't know how you did it, but thanks, Wheelie.
15:49Why don't you get the car, and I'll call the restaurant.
15:52Okay.
15:52Nice work, pulling that off.
16:04Well, you have to know how to talk to Grenadine's father.
16:06Yeah, well, I'm sure you do.
16:09Let's just hope your plan works, Wheelie.
16:13It's not going to work without you.
16:16Wait, wait, wait, wait.
16:21You want me to join you at the restaurant?
16:23I assumed you knew that.
16:25Well, I can't go to Grenadine's dressed like this.
16:28Then go change.
16:30We'll get a table and meet you there.
16:31Well, honey, if I had a hat, I'd eat it.
16:49I knew Gregory would come through.
16:53Elaine.
16:54Elaine, please, go along with this.
16:56You won't regret it.
16:58Granted, this is an informal hearing, but if we could please have it quiet.
17:03Sorry for this untimely entrance, Your Honor.
17:07Considering it's you, Counselor Richards, I'll let it pass.
17:11But if there's going to be a change in representation,
17:13you'll have to get the permission from the defendant.
17:16Of course, Your Honor.
17:19Elaine, I consider it a privilege you would let me represent you.
17:23Well, I don't know why.
17:24I have a lawyer.
17:26Well, you're better represented by a friend,
17:27someone who can look after your interests.
17:28No offense meant, Counselor.
17:30No offense taken.
17:31All right.
17:36Now may I have a moment with my client, Your Honor?
17:39A brief moment.
17:40Of course.
17:51Ready to proceed, Your Honor.
17:52Will the defendant please rise?
17:57How do you plead?
18:01Your Honor, I plead guilty.
18:07However, we would like to move to reduce the charge for murder one to manslaughter.
18:13On what grounds?
18:15Your Honor, the people have no case to ask for murder one.
18:17I have here several legal precedents citing similar cases, specifically O'Malley v. Stoney.
18:23Very impressive, Counselor.
18:28Your Honor, the people demand an explanation.
18:31Motion granted, Mr. Richards.
18:33Thank you, Your Honor.
18:33But, Your Honor, this...
18:34I made my ruling.
18:37Can we continue?
18:37I'll allow a moment for both sides to prepare for the bail portion of this hearing.
18:44Thank you, Your Honor.
18:46This whole thing's making me a nervous wreck.
18:48Oh, relax.
18:52I'll take it from here.
18:53We're going to move that you be released pending sentencing.
19:00Allie's going to try to crucify Elaine with my testimony.
19:02You know that.
19:03Of course.
19:04I know she will.
19:04Wasn't there anything you can do to kick me off the stand?
19:06I'm afraid not.
19:07You're going to have to testify whether you like it or not.
19:09What are you going to say?
19:21The hearing is now back in session.
19:31Listen, Mark.
19:33I heard Meg asking you some questions about me.
19:37Actually, about Maria in particular.
19:39She was just curious.
19:43You know how much I value my privacy, Mark.
19:49I do.
19:52I didn't say anything, Ben.
19:54Good.
19:56Let's keep it that way, shall we?
19:57I don't particularly want Meg hearing any more stories about my past.
20:09Hi, Annie.
20:16What are you doing here?
20:18Just getting the last of my things to take to my place.
20:21Oh.
20:21So, how is it to sleep in your own bed?
20:25It's been such a long time, you know.
20:27Well, it was...
20:28It was a little strange, but nice to be home.
20:32How about you?
20:32You're getting back to your old life?
20:34How is it sleeping in your own bed?
20:35No, Annie.
20:39I didn't sleep here with Ben last night, if that's what you're asking.
20:43Well, there's no one in your way.
20:46Right?
20:47Unless there's something wrong between you and Ben.
20:48Actually, Annie, there's nothing wrong with me and Ben.
20:55Actually, after last night, we're closer than ever.
21:00Great.
21:01Now, look, let me get out of your way.
21:03I'm just going to go upstairs and get my things.
21:18Oh, I need a disc.
21:36Um, I bet there's one up in Ben's office.
21:39Yeah.
21:40When you arrested the defendant, did she resist?
21:50No, not at all.
21:51She didn't try to run away?
21:53No.
21:53In fact, she told me she was actually going to turn herself in before I came to her.
21:58So you're saying that the defendant was going to turn herself in?
22:01Yes, that's correct.
22:03How would you characterize the defendant?
22:07Elaine Stevens is a model citizen.
22:09She's done more for, uh, for Sunset Beach than anyone I know.
22:15Thank you, Detective.
22:16That'll be all.
22:18Your witness.
22:22Detective Torres.
22:25What is the nature of your relationship to the defendant?
22:29She's my fiancƩ's mother.
22:31And your fiancƩ's also a police officer, is that correct?
22:37Yes.
22:39Did you know that your future mother-in-law had put her restaurant up for sale?
22:46Yes, I knew that.
22:47And was this before or after you came to arrest her?
22:50It was before.
22:51I'm sure she was trying to get her affairs in order before she turned herself in.
22:53But you don't know that for a fact.
22:55No, I don't know that for a fact.
22:58Isn't it true that her actions could have been those of someone preparing to leave town to avoid arrest?
23:04Either under her own steam or with the help of her daughter, a police officer?
23:08Your Honor, where is this going?
23:10Your Honor, I'm almost done.
23:13Answer the question, Detective.
23:14Yes or no.
23:19You have been torturing yourself for 22 years.
23:23A terrible wrong was done to you.
23:25You've paid enough.
23:28I'm going to do everything I can to protect you.
23:31Yes.
23:38In fact, in all your years of experience, and considering your knowledge of the defendant,
23:44can you honestly swear to this court that there is absolutely no risk of flight on the part of this defendant?
24:02If Elaine Stevens were a flight risk, I think she would have left town a long time ago.
24:05A long time ago?
24:06Why is that?
24:07Wasn't the Del Douglas case closed?
24:10Yes.
24:11And wasn't the suspect you arrested presumed dead?
24:16Yes.
24:17Why would the defendant flee then?
24:19She wasn't a suspect.
24:20The case was closed.
24:21There's no reason to run.
24:23As far as she was concerned, she got away with murder.
24:25Oh, Your Honor, I object to this whole line of questioning.
24:28It calls for speculation on the witness.
24:30Let me remind the court this is an informal hearing.
24:34There is no jury.
24:35So we can dispense with any theatrics.
24:39Continue.
24:41How long was the defendant under investigation by you?
24:46Three, four weeks.
24:47I don't know.
24:48I can't remember exactly.
24:49And wasn't that right around the time she put her waffle shop, a thriving business, I might add, up for sale?
24:56Isn't that true?
24:59Yes, it's true.
24:59Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that seem to you like the act of someone trying to flee?
25:07Your Honor.
25:08Wrap it up, Counselor.
25:11So I ask you, can you swear to this court that there is absolutely no risk of flight with Elaine Stevens?
25:18If only I could have gotten you away before Ricardo found out.
25:27If I could find a way to get you out of this place.
25:31Detective Torres, can you swear to this court that if Elaine Stevens is granted bail, she will not flee?
25:40No, I can't swear to that.
25:42No, I can't swear to that.
25:42Oh, I can't swear to you.
26:02Meg, what are you doing here?
26:07Um, I was just getting a computer disk for, um, out of Ben's office.
26:14Well, you've been around here long enough to know that Ben's office is down the hall.
26:19Yeah, I guess I just spaced out and was going in the wrong room.
26:23Oh, well, it doesn't matter anyway. The door's locked.
26:27Oh.
26:29Aren't you the least bit curious as to why it's locked?
26:32It's none of my business.
26:34You're right. But don't tell me you don't want to know.
26:39It's just a room, isn't it, Annie?
26:43Actually, it was my favorite room before Maria died.
26:46She was a wonderful artist. She used to paint in there.
26:50Really?
26:51Ben locked it up after she died.
26:53As far as I know, nobody's been in there ever since.
26:59I'm just going to go get that desk.
27:01Yeah, it's that little room right there.
27:14If maybe this was a mistake, we should just leave.
27:17No.
27:18All right.
27:18Thank you for coming.
27:29Zhang Tai Tai.
27:35Zhang, Xin Zhang.
27:36Wei Li.
27:39Now, I've taken the liberty of ordering from everyone
27:42so that we won't be bothered by interruptions.
27:45Good thinking, Wei Li.
27:45Xin, Xin Zhang.
27:46As always.
27:48I'm sure if we work together,
27:50we can repair any damage that's been done.
27:55Mrs. Zhang and I are willing to hear what you have to say.
27:58Well, as with any negotiation,
28:04I've always found it helpful
28:05to sometimes at first lay everything on the table.
28:09Mr. Zhang,
28:10why don't we begin with you?
28:12Please,
28:12tell us the one thing that is troubling you the most.
28:16That's quite simple.
28:18Sorry I'm late.
28:22What is this?
28:23This is insanity.
28:26This is some magic, sir.
28:26Huh?
28:53Sunset Beach.
29:05Sentinel.
29:13Maria Torres-Evans.
29:23It's her wedding announcement.
29:36This is about her boating accident.
29:43I can't do this.
29:44Come on.
29:53I can't do this.
30:19Bye.

36:13you can't do that
36:45Mrs. Chang, please.
36:49Can I talk to you? Please.
36:51We were making progress with Ray when you weren't there.
36:57You've been a bad influence.
36:59But what about our talks on the beach when you first got here?
37:02I thought we had made a connection.
37:05Can't you see my side of things?
37:08All I see is that once we had a daughter who always told us the truth,
37:13now it's one lie after another.
37:16But Ray's not a liar.
37:19She only did that because she thought she had no other choice.
37:24I don't understand.
37:27In our family, we treasure honesty and trust more than anything.
37:33When Ray lied to us, she turned her back on everything we stand for.
37:39Because of you.
37:41No.
37:42Not just because of me.
37:44Before you, her family always came first.
37:47But now, now Ray has chosen the life she wants and turned her back on us.
37:56If you will excuse me, Mr. Chang is waiting.
37:59Listen to what you're saying.
38:00In the name of saving your family, you're ripping it apart.
38:09I'm not the one who's ripping it apart.
38:12You are.
38:26Things seem worse than ever with your parents.
38:28Alice, I am so sorry.
38:31It's not your fault.
38:33You're just trying to help.
38:36It means so much to me.
38:42Please don't do this.
38:54You need each other now more than ever.
38:57I'm sorry, Mom.
39:00The only thing I need right now is time to myself.
39:05Away from Ricardo.
39:06The only thing I need right now is time to myself is time to go to the house.
39:11I'm sorry, Mom.
39:12I'm sorry, Mom.
39:12I'm sorry, Mom.
39:13I'm sorry, Mom.
