00:00What's your problem?
00:09What do you think?
00:10The dinosaur ride at Universal Studios wasn't all that it was cracked up to be?
00:15Or could it be Meg?
00:17It's been a couple of days since she's taken the bait.
00:19And what do we have to show for it?
00:21Well, I think it's safe to assume that she took the key and went into Ben's locked room.
00:24So? I don't see her trying to escape from Ben's clutches.
00:28Oh, and back into your arms?
00:30You haven't exactly managed to nab Ben on the rebound.
00:33Let's face it, Annie. Our plan isn't working.
00:36Don't you dare give up on me.
00:38We can do this. Okay, partner?
00:40Okay.
01:00Here you are.
01:28Please.
01:31Come in.
01:33Nick.
01:34Come in.
01:47Come in.
01:47Come in.
01:47Thanks, man.
01:50Come in.
01:53Okay.
03:54You should know this afternoon.
03:57Are you sure you did this all by yourself?
04:00It's not that big a deal.
04:02No, I mean, Vanessa and I usually get takeout.
04:05Trust me, Virginia, this is a big deal.
04:07So, um, where's Jimmy?
04:10Is he coming with us?
04:11Oh, he went off to find Mark.
04:14So I guess it's just you and me.
04:18Ah, you're back.
04:19And just in time.
04:20For what?
04:21For what?
04:22For this awesome lunch your mom made.
04:25I mean, you are coming with us, aren't you?
04:26Looks like something Vanessa would like.
04:31Too bad she's not around.
04:32I don't need a pep talk.
04:39I need a solution to the problem of getting Meg away from Ben.
04:43Well, Rome wasn't built in a day.
04:46Patience, Tim.
04:47I'm running out of it.
04:50What?
04:52Meg's mom is heading over to Ben's.
04:54Huh.
04:55Oh, well.
04:57Maybe I should go over and say hello to Joan.
04:59And see what's going on at Ben's.
05:00I'll, uh...
05:05I'll keep you posted.
05:09Hi.
05:10Well, well, well.
05:11Olivia Richards chauffeur is hanging out with Andy Douglas.
05:14Who I hang out with is none of your business, Eddie.
05:18You're right.
05:18It's not.
05:19But if I were you, I wouldn't let Mrs. Richards know about my new little play thing here.
05:25Otherwise, you'll end up just as unemployed as Andy is.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Right.
05:35I don't remember inviting you in.
05:37What do you want?
05:39A few minutes of your time.
05:40Is that too much to ask?
05:41I get the feeling it might be.
05:46So are you.
05:47Sporting a new look?
05:49I had to rush out of the house today.
05:51I didn't have time to shave.
05:52So sue me.
05:53And where is it that you're living now, Eddie?
05:55What, are you a census taker?
05:57No, just a concerned Sunset Beach resident, worried that the property values will go down.
06:04Funny, Eddie.
06:05Funny, you're real card, you know that?
06:08So where is it that you're living now?
06:14At the Y.
06:15You've really hit bottom, haven't you?
06:17Hey, I prefer to think of it as a temporary situation, which is why I'm here.
06:21What about our deal?
06:22You any closer to getting the jewels back from the cops?
06:24Not as long as Ricardo's hung up on doing everything strictly by the books.
06:28He's telling me I need an attorney to plead my case.
06:31Yeah, and I need cash pronto.
06:32Oh, don't we all.
06:34No, no, no.
06:35Don't tell me you don't comprendo.
06:37You comprendo just fine.
06:39What?
06:40No, hello, hello.
06:41Oh.
06:42I bet what's wrong.
06:44Wrong?
06:44Oh, no, no, no.
06:45What could possibly be wrong?
06:47My business manager just split town with all my money and probably converted to pesos by now.
07:00Meg, come in.
07:01Where's your mother?
07:03Oh, right here.
07:05Just had to have one last look at the ocean.
07:07One last look?
07:11Yes.
07:12Well, I'm afraid I have to leave today.
07:15Meg's dad threw his back out.
07:18Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
07:19Is it serious?
07:20Oh, no, no.
07:21But I'm sure Hank could use a little TLC.
07:24Have you a flight booked?
07:26Oh, not yet.
07:26We just found out.
07:28Well, then let me take care of it.
07:30Oh, that would be so nice.
07:32Excuse me.
07:34Tim, is Meg around by any chance?
07:47Hi, Meg.
07:49Hi, Tim.
07:50I didn't know that you were coming by here.
07:53Well, I just dropped by to see how things were going.
07:55Say hi to your mom.
07:56Oh, I'm afraid it's also goodbye.
07:59I'm leaving today.
08:00Dad threw his back out.
08:02You're kidding.
08:05Well, I'm going to hate to see you go.
08:07But Mr. Cummings' help, it should be your main concern.
08:11I hope he's going to be okay.
08:13Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine.
08:14With bed rest and...
08:16And Mom's home cooking.
08:18I know something that might make him feel better.
08:22He's a cigar man.
08:23He loves a good smoke.
08:26Really?
08:26Yeah.
08:28Well, I, uh, I have some of the best right here.
08:30What?
08:37All I said was too bad, Vanessa's not around.
08:39You didn't answer Michael's question.
08:40Are you coming with us?
08:42We got enough food here to feed an army.
08:44Come on, what do you say?
08:45I'm not hungry.
08:49Hey, guys.
08:50Am I interrupting anything, am I?
08:52No, not at all.
08:52Come on in.
08:53Hey, Mark.
08:54Hey, Jimmy.
08:55What's up?
08:56Hey, Virginia.
08:56Hey, Mark.
08:59What is it?
09:00Check it out.
09:02The Alcass CD.
09:03I thought you might like to have it.
09:04For keeps?
09:05Yeah.
09:06Cool, thanks.
09:07No problem, dude.
09:11Hey, Mark.
09:12You know, we were getting ready to have a picnic down on the beach.
09:14You got time to join us?
09:16Free food.
09:17Picnic on the beach.
09:18Yeah, I'm all over that.
09:20Thought you might.
09:22Oh, we worked on a little bump.
09:24Oh, you're going to have to catch me up later, then.
09:28We should get going.
09:31Oh, you know, it's too bad you're not coming.
09:33It looks like it's going to be a pretty good time.
09:39Check you later, kid.
09:45Hey, who said I'm not going?
09:46No, please.
09:54I mean, Hank does love a good smoke, but if he's going to be in bed, I don't want him
09:58stinking up the house.
09:59Well, then how about a couple for when he feels better?
10:01I appreciate the thought, but no thanks.
10:04Okay.
10:06Then if you'll excuse me, I have to go and call that travel agent about getting on a flight.
10:09Uh, Meg, do you think you could give me a hand?
10:12Sure.
10:13Sure.
10:13Are you okay?
10:24You seem, I don't know, out of sorts.
10:28Yeah, it just threw me.
10:31What threw you?
10:33My dad getting sick and my mom having to leave so suddenly.
10:36Okay.
10:43Well, I'm glad you did stop by, Tim.
10:47Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a chance to say goodbye.
10:50Or thank you.
10:51Uh, you can't come this far and not see Universal Studios.
10:54No.
10:55I mean, not about the tour.
10:57I mean, about, well, everything.
10:59I mean, this trip was your idea, and little did I know it was something I needed to do.
11:05Well, I brought you out here for Meg's sake.
11:06Meg, I do have her best interest at heart, just like you.
11:11Well, I have to admit, I, I, I was, I was doubtful of that for a while.
11:17I mean, when Meg found you with Connie, I pretty much wrote you off.
11:22And now?
11:24Well, now, I believe you really do care for Meg.
11:27I mean, I see the two of you together, and everything's out in the open.
11:33You're not keeping a hidden agenda.
11:35I appreciate that, Tim.
11:43Oh, can you believe it?
11:45That bum is south of the border enjoying tequilas and watching bullfights on my money.
11:52What?
11:53Well, I didn't know you had any money to speak of, much less enough for someone to run off with.
11:57Investments, tax shelters, whatever.
11:59Look, the guy found a way to make them liquid and make me penniless.
12:05Oh, now, what is your problem?
12:07I think I have an answer to your problem.
12:09Oh, I'm afraid to ask.
12:11No, no, no, hire me, hire me.
12:12I'll track down your business manager and I'll get your money back.
12:14Come on, I just need a small cash advance.
12:16Have you heard...
12:16Hello in there, have you heard anything?
12:19The cash is adios.
12:21Gonzo bonzo, got it?
12:23Besides that, I wouldn't hire you if you paid me.
12:26Hello?
12:28Hello?
12:29Get me the FBI.
12:31I want to report a bum.
12:32Hey, hey, hey.
12:33Unfortunately, Aunt Bette, you cannot turn Eddie in for trying to make a buck.
12:36I'm not talking about this bum.
12:38I'm talking about my business manager bum.
12:39I'm going to get the FBI, the CIA, the DAR, anything with initials that's going to get to the bottom of this.
12:45I can get to the bottom of this.
12:47Hello there.
12:48I don't think you heard me.
12:49Hey, I would rather hire a dog catcher than you.
12:52I would rather hire a dog.
12:54I think that's your cue to leave.
12:56No, you're making a big mistake, Bette.
12:58You're making a big mistake.
12:59Yeah.
12:59What is wrong with that guy?
13:06What was he thinking?
13:07Forget about him, honey.
13:08You just come here and think about this.
13:10My assets covered the rent on this little shack when you were out trying to solve your money woes?
13:16Well, those assets are gone, and we could be, too.
13:29All right, now, Jimmy, why don't you set the blanket down over there?
13:32You can use those shoes or something like that to hold the corners down.
13:35Come on.
13:35The quicker we do this, the quicker we get to the fun part.
13:40All right, Jimmy, go long.
13:51Go long.
13:52He's going long.
13:53He's there.
13:53He's open.
13:54Not too long ago, there would have been you tossing the ball around with Jimmy.
14:14And you're wishing it still was.
14:17Mark's a great guy.
14:18Natural at playing big brother.
14:20I wish it was me out there.
14:27Jimmy will come around.
14:38Keep it up, Michael.
14:39I could stop you anytime.
14:40That's a great catch, Jimmy.
14:49Where'd you learn to catch like that?
14:50From Michael?
14:50No, from my dad.
14:52He must have been a heck of a ball player.
14:54The best.
14:55Just ask Michael.
14:56I go way back.
14:58You knew Jimmy's dad?
14:59So what you're saying is that you're broke.
15:07No, what I am saying is that we are broke.
15:12Oh, just what I need.
15:13Something else to worry about.
15:14Oh, honey, honey.
15:14If we don't find this guy, we are going to be the gold medalists of worrying.
15:18I just, I can't believe this.
15:20I trusted this guy.
15:21I put my entire life's savings in his hands.
15:26Oh, no.
15:26That's not all I put in his hands.
15:29Well, let's just say the deposits he made for me were not all in mutual funds, okay?
15:32Boy, I hope he gets scored by a bull.
15:35I hope he gets Montezuma's revenge for the rest of his life.
15:38And when I get him, I'm going to lock him in a room.
15:40And I'm going to make him eat those pork bellies that he made me buy.
15:45What did you say?
15:47Aren't you listening?
15:48I bet I have enough of my own problems.
15:51Well, honey, you better put this one at the top of the list.
15:54Didn't you hear me?
15:56We don't have any money.
15:59Well, I am working on a plan that will solve all our problems.
16:10Terrific.
16:11She'll be there.
16:12Thanks for your help.
16:14Well, a seat opened up on the earlier flight, which means you'll have to leave.
16:21Five minutes ago.
16:22You all dead?
16:23Yes.
16:24Tim went over to Meg's place and picked up my bags.
16:26I'm ready to go.
16:27Good.
16:28Now, unfortunately, I have a meeting in Santa Barbara with Catwell Enterprises.
16:31So running by the airport is going to cut things a bit fine for me.
16:35I'll take them.
16:36Yeah?
16:37Yeah.
16:38Thanks, Tim.
16:38Oh, by the way, Meg, I have a fax arriving this afternoon.
16:43Do you think you could come back here and retrieve it for me?
16:45I may need it for the meeting.
16:48Sure, that'll be no problem.
16:51Well, I guess this is it, Ben.
16:54Thank you for your hospitality.
16:56It was my pleasure.
16:57You're welcome back.
16:58Anytime.
16:58Well, let's grab your bags and get out of here.
17:10It was really good meeting you.
17:12I had wanted to get to know you a little better.
17:15Well, I got that feeling.
17:18I'll bet you felt like you were under a microscope.
17:21It's a maternal instinct, protecting the offspring.
17:24You don't have to explain.
17:26I understand.
17:31I hate to do this, but there's just one more thing that I need to ask you.
17:37Anything.
17:39Promise me you won't hurt, Meg.
17:41Mom, come on.
17:42We're going to miss the flight.
17:45Mom?
17:54I didn't really know Jimmy's spot.
18:03I thought you said they went way back.
18:06I forgot the ketchup, Jimmy.
18:07Could you go back and get it?
18:12Yeah, okay.
18:14I'll go with you.
18:21It's probably about time for us to check on that apartment.
18:23Do you want to do the honors?
18:26I'm too nervous.
18:28Would you?
18:29Yeah, no problem.
18:31There's something I wanted to say first.
18:33Something I've said many times before.
18:36But I need to say it again.
18:40We don't even know if you've got the place yet.
18:42I'm not talking about the apartment.
18:44I'm talking about the future.
18:47For the first time in I don't know how long,
18:50I wake up in the morning and I think about tomorrow.
18:52I mean, not just getting through it,
18:54but suddenly have something to look forward to.
18:58A job, a new place to live,
19:01a better life for my son.
19:02You deserve all those things, Virginia.
19:04Yeah, but we both know that deserving and getting
19:06are two totally different things.
19:08I never knew that you could put a ribbon on the future
19:12and wrap it up like a gift
19:14until you came along.
19:18You gave that to me.
19:20And now you're part of my future, Michael.
19:23Like it or not.
19:26I should probably go make that call.
19:28Yeah.
19:29Cross fingers.
19:30All that rushing and the flight's delayed.
19:44Well, I was in the right side.
19:45We could spend more time together.
19:47Oh, well, I wish you hadn't sent Tim.
19:49Mom, we barely had any times to our show.
19:52But is it really safe around here
19:54to take a cab by yourself?
19:55Mom.
19:57Honey, I will never stop being your mother.
20:00Well, I'm counting on you.
20:05I remember the last time I was in an airport.
20:08On your wedding day.
20:10What was supposed to be my wedding day.
20:13Instead, I came to Sunset Beach
20:16not knowing what I was going to find
20:17or what I was going to do.
20:20I just knew that getting on that plane
20:23was something that I had to do.
20:25and nothing was going to stand in your way.
20:29You always had a strong head about things.
20:37What?
20:38I was just thinking about
20:40when you found my wedding dress
20:41and you insisted on trying it on.
20:43You were, like, seven years old
20:45and you were about this tall.
20:47The dress was huge.
20:49You looked ridiculous.
20:52Adorable.
20:52But you had your own ideas
20:55about how it ought to be worn.
20:58You know, I remember something
20:59about the veil.
21:01Yes.
21:02You wore it around your waist.
21:04Oh, what?
21:05And there was nothing I could do
21:07to convince you
21:07that it belonged on your head.
21:09Well, since then I've known
21:13it's useless to tell you
21:15when you're wrong about something.
21:17But it hasn't stepped
21:18you can try.
21:20And it probably never will.
21:22Annie.
21:34Annie.
21:43Annie.
21:44Oh, my God.
21:44What are you trying to do?
21:45Scare me to death?
21:46I was beginning to think
21:48someone already did.
21:49Where were you just now?
21:51Thinking.
21:52Just got a lot on my mind.
21:54Well, here's a few more things
21:55to follow away
21:56in that brain of yours.
21:58Meg still has the key.
21:59She never returned it
22:01to the humidor.
22:04And Ben has no idea
22:05it's missing.
22:06I almost got him to go
22:07for some cigars
22:08and open up the humidor.
22:10But Joan,
22:11she kind of blew it for me.
22:13Poor Joan.
22:14She had no idea
22:15what she was getting into
22:16coming here.
22:17Poor Joan's
22:18on her way back to Kansas.
22:19I just dropped her
22:21off at the airport.
22:21What are you talking about?
22:23Family matters.
22:24So now what are we going to do?
22:26We were counting on her
22:27to help us get Meg
22:28to dump Ben.
22:29I don't know.
22:29We'll just have to
22:29readjust our thinking.
22:31Is there anything else
22:32I should know?
22:33Ben went to Santa Barbara
22:35for a meeting
22:35and Meg's going to go back
22:37to his place later
22:37to pick up a fax.
22:39Well, that's good news.
22:41So what do you got
22:41up your sleeve now?
22:42Hmm.
22:42Hmm.
22:42Hmm.
22:42Hmm.
22:43Hmm.
22:43Hmm.
22:43Hmm.
22:44Hmm.
22:44Hmm.
22:45Hmm.
22:45Hmm.
22:46Hmm.
22:47Hmm.
22:48Hmm.
22:49Well?
22:54Well, I talked
22:55to the landlord.
22:56And the guy
22:57just laid it
22:58right on the line.
22:59He's going to give
23:00the place
23:00to someone else.
23:04Unless
23:04we can get over there
23:05with a security deposit
23:06right away.
23:08I got it?
23:09You got it.
23:10Oh, my God.
23:14Mark?
23:15Hi, Officer Ruiz.
23:16This is Jimmy.
23:18Yeah, Jimmy and I
23:19know each other.
23:20How you doing?
23:22Fine.
23:23Good.
23:24Listen, you got a second?
23:26Sure.
23:27I'll catch up with you
23:28later, Mark.
23:28All right.
23:31I'm the officer that brought
23:32you in when you were
23:33picked up for shoplifting.
23:34Yeah, I know.
23:36You staying out of
23:37trouble?
23:38I'm sure you are.
23:39I've seen you with
23:40Michael.
23:41He's a good guy.
23:42You stick with him
23:43and you'll do all right.
23:44Okay?
23:46Wait.
23:46If I know about a crime,
23:49I should report it, right?
23:51Right.
23:53Do you know something?
23:57No, I was just checking.
23:59Because in my old
24:00neighborhood, if you
24:00told the cops something,
24:02you'd get in trouble.
24:04Yeah, well, things are
24:04different around here, Jimmy.
24:06If you know something,
24:07you come to me and
24:08I'll handle it.
24:09And I'll make sure
24:10you're protected.
24:11Okay?
24:13Okay.
24:13Okay.
24:16It's perfect.
24:37I don't know.
24:38I think you're going
24:39way too far now.
24:41I am?
24:42We're in this together,
24:43remember?
24:44Or have you decided that
24:45Meg isn't worth the effort?
24:47Meg is worth the world
24:48to me.
24:49I'm just sorry I didn't
24:50realize that sooner.
24:52Like when you slept
24:53with her best friend
24:54on her wedding day?
24:55Oh.
24:57You should talk.
24:58You've been chasing
24:59after your best friend's
25:00husband probably
25:02since she died.
25:05Or was it before?
25:08It was, wasn't it?
25:10You were after Ben
25:11while he was married.
25:12No, wise guy.
25:15I was after Ben
25:16before he was married.
25:18He was in college.
25:21He asked me out first
25:22and I went on a couple
25:23dates with him.
25:25So what happened?
25:28Absolutely nothing.
25:30He was more attracted
25:31to my roommate.
25:34Maria?
25:34I don't get it.
25:39Get what?
25:41Why you're hung up
25:41on a guy
25:42who's hung up
25:43on a dead woman.
25:44There are lots of guys
25:46out there
25:46who would appreciate
25:47a live one
25:48like yourself.
25:49A live one?
25:51Yeah.
25:52Come on, you know.
25:53Someone with a lot of
25:54spunk.
25:56Determination.
25:57Sex appeal.
26:02You got a lot going
26:03for you, Annie.
26:04You don't need
26:05Ben Evans.
26:08Yeah, well,
26:08I could say the same
26:09about you with Meg.
26:11I mean,
26:11I can't help it
26:12to think that you're
26:13some kind of town hunk
26:14back in Ludlow, Kansas.
26:17I guess I was
26:18a pretty popular guy.
26:21But Meg
26:22was the only one
26:23I really wanted.
26:24Well, go figure.
26:25I guess there's no
26:26accounting for taste.
26:28You ought to know.
26:32Well, here we are.
26:34Two fools in love
26:35with the wrong people.
26:39What are we going
26:39to do about it?
26:41Whatever it takes.
26:42I won't Meg
26:43more than anything
26:44in the world.
26:46Then you're with me
26:47here on this new plan.
26:50Yeah.
26:51I'm with you.
26:54I just hope
26:54this one works.
26:56Mom, I'm not that
27:00little girl
27:00in your wedding dress.
27:01If you remember,
27:03I almost walked down
27:04the aisle
27:04in my own wedding dress.
27:06I know where the veil
27:07belongs
27:08and I know
27:08where I belong.
27:12I know what I'm doing.
27:13and you don't need
27:17your mother
27:17flying 2,000 miles
27:19to meddle
27:20in your life.
27:22Mom,
27:22I'm glad
27:23that you came.
27:24Gave us a chance
27:25to spend some time
27:26together
27:26to talk.
27:29Yeah,
27:29and there's one
27:30very important thing
27:32that I haven't gotten
27:33around to saying yet.
27:35What?
27:36I am so proud
27:38of you, Meg.
27:39Why?
27:41I haven't done
27:42anything.
27:43Yes, you have.
27:45You changed
27:46your life.
27:48I picked up
27:49and moved
27:49to a different town.
27:50People
27:50do it every day.
27:53Not the way
27:53you did it, honey.
27:55Besides,
27:55I'm talking about
27:56the real change
27:57you made inside.
27:58I mean,
27:58you took charge
27:59of your life.
28:00You took your fate
28:01in your own hands.
28:03Maybe because
28:04I had to.
28:06Sweetie,
28:06some people
28:08go their whole lives
28:10and never figure
28:11that out.
28:12You figure it out
28:13young,
28:15and that'll be
28:16with you
28:16for the rest
28:17of your life.
28:19Whether you stay
28:20in Sunset Beach
28:21or not.
28:26Mom,
28:27what are you really
28:27trying to say?
28:30Funny.
28:32There's no shame
28:33in coming home.
28:34Coming home?
28:35Why would I do that?
28:41This is about Ben,
28:42isn't it?
28:43You don't like him.
28:46Yes, well,
28:47I do have my doubts
28:48about him.
28:49Yes, and I think
28:50you do, too.
28:51And it's okay
28:52to admit that.
28:55Mom,
28:56yes?
28:59I...
29:00This is the final
29:00boarding call
29:01for flight 212
29:02to Kansas City.
29:03Well,
29:04that's you.
29:06Hi, honey.
29:08Was there
29:08something else
29:09you wanted to say?
29:12Just that
29:13I'm really
29:14going to miss you.
29:19There you go.
29:20going in the dark house.
29:39Can you catch it?
29:40Can you catch it?
29:41Yes!
29:41Can I miss you
29:42a new place?
29:43What do you think?
29:44Who else am I
29:45going to work
29:45on my DJ stuff on?
29:46Your new place, huh?
29:48You mean
29:48our new place.
29:50Whatever.
29:51I just wish
29:51we could move tonight.
29:53Next week?
29:53It's not soon enough
29:54for you?
29:55No.
29:56Well, I mean,
29:56who can blame him?
29:57I mean,
29:57what kid doesn't
29:57want his own bedroom?
29:59Can I at least
30:00start packing?
30:01Jimmy,
30:02we have all weekend.
30:05Okay, okay,
30:05go ahead.
30:06Start with the stuff
30:07in the garage.
30:07Make sure it's all boxed,
30:08okay?
30:09And don't lift
30:10anything too heavy.
30:11That's where I come in.
30:12Bye, guys.
30:13Take care.
30:15Maybe Jimmy's right.
30:17Nothing wrong
30:17with getting a jump
30:18on things.
30:20Why are you
30:21trying to get rid of us?
30:23No.
30:25I mean,
30:25I didn't mean it
30:26that way.
30:28Oh, really?
30:32What's wrong?
30:34Come on,
30:34you can tell me.
30:37I really hate this,
30:39Michael.
30:40Moving's never fun,
30:41but we'll get the guys
30:42to pitch in.
30:43No, I meant
30:43the thought of leaving.
30:53The check
30:54balanced?
30:56Well,
30:56I'll just have to
30:57call the bank
30:57and give them
30:58a piece of my mind.
30:59In the meantime,
30:59if you wouldn't mind
31:00just getting started
31:01on the...
31:02Hello?
31:04Hello?
31:05Oh.
31:10Oh, no.
31:11Not interested.
31:12No, thank you.
31:13Oh, you'd rather
31:14hire Bud Sterinsky?
31:16How did you find out
31:17about that?
31:18That's my job,
31:19Beth.
31:20Detecting.
31:21Ringy-dingy.
31:22At least he comes
31:23highly recommended.
31:25Oh, please.
31:26Come on.
31:26He turned you down.
31:27Just because he was
31:28too busy to take
31:29on a new client.
31:30He's the lowest
31:30rent PI in town.
31:33And I know for a fact
31:34he would do just
31:34about anything
31:35to snag a live one.
31:39Look, come on.
31:40If you called Bud,
31:42then every other
31:42private dick in town
31:43must have blown you
31:44off too.
31:46I don't think so.
31:47Look, this is really
31:48none of your business.
31:50Then make it my business.
31:51Let me get your money back.
31:53This is right up my alley.
31:55Yes, and that's obviously
31:56where you've been spending
31:57most of your time.
31:59And it's exactly
32:00where you don't want
32:01to end up.
32:03Trust me.
32:06Look, look.
32:06I'll work on commission,
32:07okay?
32:08You don't have to give me
32:09a dime unless I recover
32:09your root.
32:10What do you say?
32:13Come on, Beth.
32:14Admit it.
32:15I am your last hope.
32:17Hey, Meg.
32:30Hi.
32:30Can I offer you
32:31a cup of coffee?
32:32I've got a fresh pot brewing.
32:33Yeah, that'd be great.
32:34Thanks.
32:35I've got to get this
32:56key back into Ben's
32:57humidor.
33:01Hey.
33:02Tim!
33:04You scared me.
33:06I'm sorry.
33:06I'm sorry.
33:07I just saw you come in.
33:08Glad to see you made it
33:09back okay.
33:10Look, I know you wanted
33:11to spend more time
33:12with your mom alone,
33:12but I wasn't too crazy
33:13about the idea
33:14of leaving you
33:14at the airport.
33:16Well, neither was she.
33:17She was scared
33:18that I was going to get
33:19in some taxi
33:20with a strange cab driver.
33:22No, that's understandable
33:23considering the strange
33:25people she just met.
33:28Come on, Tim.
33:29I mean, most of the people
33:30she met were actually
33:30pretty nice.
33:33Most.
33:34But there are some
33:35you've got to watch out for.
33:40So, how did it go
33:42with your mom?
33:45Well, I have to say
33:46that it was really hard
33:47to say goodbye.
33:50See, I know how much
33:51you love her.
33:52It's just why I brought her
33:52out here in the first place.
33:55Well, thank you, Tim.
33:56All right.
33:57I guess I better go.
33:59I'll see you around.
34:02Bye.
34:04Bye.
34:11One hot cup of coffee.
34:13Free of charge.
34:16Thanks.
34:16Most of the people
34:29are actually pretty nice.
34:31Most.
34:32But there are some
34:33you've got to watch out for.
34:40I'm sorry.
34:41I had no business.
34:42No, no, no.
34:43If something's on your mind,
34:45just say it.
34:46I don't know.
34:49I mean, these last few weeks,
34:54maybe I've gotten spoiled.
34:56You've been so wonderful, Michael.
34:59I only did what anyone would do.
35:01You know, for a friend.
35:09No, you have gone
35:11way above the call of duty.
35:12And I feel like
35:16I'm going to have to start
35:18learning how to
35:19make it on my own
35:20all over again.
35:22You are going to do
35:23just fine, Virginia.
35:25You think so?
35:27I know so.
35:29You always have.
35:30Well, this is...
35:33All so new.
35:38Sunset Beach
35:39is a long way
35:41from South Central.
35:46You're scared, aren't you?
35:49A little.
35:50You are not alone here.
35:56I mean, I don't care
35:58if you're under my roof
35:59or you're across town.
36:02You can always count on me, Virginia.
36:05Thanks.
36:06If you don't believe anything else,
36:22believe this.
36:24You are the only woman I want.
36:27Well, when you put it like that...
36:31That could be a lot more convincing
36:33if you weren't leaving town
36:36in less than an hour.
36:39But I don't want our first time
36:40together to be rushed.
36:43I want it to be special, too.
36:44Then we have ourselves a deal.
37:06Yes, we did.
37:07Watch it.
37:08Don't tell me you're hiring this guy.
37:10Have you lost your mind?
37:12Well, as it turns out,
37:14I think that Eddie
37:15is the best man
37:16for the job.
37:19He also speaks a little Spanish.
37:21Olé.
37:22Oy vey.
37:23I'll get us a few drinks
37:25just to seal the deal.
37:26Be right back.
37:31I think I made a wise choice.
37:33Have you checked Eddie's resume lately?
37:35He stole a briefcase of jewels
37:37from a murder scene,
37:38kidnapped Meg to get them back,
37:39and turned in Elaine
37:41to save his own hide.
37:42Nobody's perfect?
37:45Look.
37:47Desperate times
37:48call for desperate measures.
37:50Extremely desperate.
37:51Well, look at it this way.
37:53What do I have to lose?
37:54Hmm?
37:58I think you're about to find out.
38:04Cheers.
38:05You too.
39:35It's the beauty pageant finale.
39:37He's a lady, next on 5.
40:05It's the beauty pageant finale.
40:35It's the beauty pageant finale.
