Now, there is another little change that I need to talk to you about.
Now, it may seem like a problem at first, but it is to your advantage, I assure you.
Something about Ma?
You know, I had a feeling because Christine Williams had her husband come up to my place and try and shake me up.
Shake you up how?
Asking me all these questions.
Saying he had proof I was lying about Ma.
What kind of proof?
A card Ma wrote to his wife.
And he kept coming at me.
Saying I could get hit with perjury, obstruction of justice, and oh yeah, kidnapping too.
Said I'd never be allowed in the same room with Cassie if I didn't come clean.
What did you tell them, Alice?
Well nothing. I made him leave.
He was just trying to scare me, wasn't he?
As long as you told Mr. Williams that you didn't know what he was talking about, they can't get you in trouble.
Yeah, I did.
Over and over again.
Oh, I don't like their tactics.
This proves they're desperate.
And we're going to take advantage of that.
Oh yes, we are definitely going to take advantage of this.
Do you think that Mrs. Chancellor is an alcoholic?
If I were to hazard a yes, I would say yes, she is an alcoholic.
Mac, alcoholism, as with many things, is like a volcano.
It's always there, it's ready to blow.
But why don't we just give this poor old soul the benefit of the doubt and say she's inactive at the moment.
Then why doesn't anybody know where she is?
What do you mean you're making big plans?
What's going on? What are you doing to him?
Now Ramona, you know Victor brought this on himself.
How? How did he do that?
By trying to escape last night. You know about that, don't you?
Somehow Victor got it through his mind that he could escape through the gate, but I outsmarted him.
I was too quick.
I deactivated the mechanism before he could make it through.
What are you doing?
What are you going to kill me?
He's biding his time right now, he's taunting me.
But he means to kill me.
Chet?
Is this true?
I could not believe how much cat hair the whirlwind picked up.
Cyclonic action makes the whirlwind so effective.
And only Eureka has true HEPA sealed filtration.
The greatest feature? No bags.
No upright filters better. Period.
If you drink coffee or smoke, Plus White challenges you to un-stain your teeth.
They could be this stained.
But Plus White gets rid of smoking and coffee stains fast.
After one brushing, see the difference?
My stains are gone.
Get the Plus with Plus White.
This Memorial Day, the nation's leading critics agree.
The Force is with Julia.
New Creek Magazine, Roger Ebert, People Magazine, Gene Shalit, and Time Magazine are raving about Notting Hill.
You must be Spike.
They're calling it sexy, smart, and hilarious.
Romantic comedy heaven. Thumbs up.
Notting Hill, rated PG-13, starts tomorrow at theaters everywhere.
Look, I'll make you a deal. If you quit, I quit.
Okay, Daddy. I just quit. Deal?
Nicoderm CQ.
I know. You're not big on health in general.
If you're serious, you don't need help.
When I got serious, I realized I do need it.
CQ gives you a 24-hour stream of medicine that's with you whenever cravings come, even when you first wake up.
Nicoderm CQ.
Hey, a deal.
A deal?
Quit for World No Tobacco Day, May 31st.

Was it Nic or Sharon that mentioned Al to you?
I'm not sure.
Does it matter?
I suppose not.
Just a few more questions.
Fire away.
Did you have any sense that Millie had it in for Al?
Oh, I think the poor woman was more disappointed now than anything.
That confirms what Tony said.
Look, Tony and I saw exactly the same thing.
If you're worried I'm going to say something in court to deliberately screw up the case for Nic...
I wasn't implying that.
And I'll say it again, this defensive attitude of yours can only hurt us.
Michael will pick up on it and I told you before I can handle Michael Baldwin.
Now are we through?
For now, yes.
Great.
See you.
Maybe I should have been searching for her in one of these bars around here.
Oh yes, she's probably passed out in some back booth clutching last night's martini in her hand.
It's what Esther and Jill think could have happened.
What do they know, especially Jill? I mean, she's ready to believe the worst in anybody.
You act like you know her.
Oh, I was just going on what you told me.
Yeah, well that bitch is as mean as a junkyard dog.
Well then I wouldn't give too much credence to anything she says.
Someone can be mean and still tell the truth.
You believe what you want, Mackenzie. They can all believe what they want.
The next thing you'll be hearing is Catherine Chancellor was last seen on a funeral pyre floating down the Ganges.
My mother used to talk about the Ganges a lot.
The river in India? Why?
She called it the source of all life and death.
She met my father on the riverbank in Benares.
Your mother and father met in India?
Yeah, hooked up outside some ashram.
Had a thing going for a while, but not for long.
They broke up?
So, my mom came back to the States and, surprise, surprise, she found out that she didn't exactly come home alone.
You mean?
Yeah, she was pregnant.
She came home, period, me.
Ramona, how can you believe anything this guy says? Time and time again he's proven he can't be trusted.
What happened to my meal, Chad?
What meal?
The one that he said he'd prepare for me.
Remember, Chad, he said even a condemned man has a right to a last meal.
Isn't that what you said?
Chad, Chad, Chad, you don't want this.
Don't defend him, Ramona, don't do it.
Please don't argue with him, Ramona.
Chad is a very dangerous man, and not only to me.
You know something, Victor? Right now you'd be a real smart man to keep your mouth shut.
What are you going to do, Chad, if I don't?
Are you going to kill me?
No, somehow.
That's not much of a threat anymore, is it?
Come on, Ramona, I think our guest needs some time alone.
Honey, hand me the diaper bag.
I thought you took it.
No.
Hope he doesn't get any IDs.
These new gloves have triple layer protection to help stop leaks.
So far so good.
New gloves, three layers, maybe one less worry.
Honey, hand me the keys.
Keys?
Live and learn and get new gloves.
You mean it doesn't cover more smell than other?
Exactly.
This stuff gets rid of smells on fabrics.
Right, it's Febreze, and it cleans odors out of fabrics.
Come on, smell doesn't come back later.
Hasn't yet.
And it won't.
See, Febreze gets down into fabrics where it safely cleans those smells away, for good.
Still good.
Once it's dry, it's bye-bye its smell.
Then I'm all over the place with it.
Febreze cleans bad smells out of fabrics, for good.
And good just keeps getting better.
Even if you can't always treat your wood furniture with kid gloves, always treat it to Pledge.
Because Pledge does what's right for your wood.
Its condition is careful and protected far longer than dusting sprays.
So treat your furniture like you do.
Just let Pledge do your furniture right.
S.C. Johnson wax.
These fries are delicious.
You sure I can eat these?
Yeah.
Hello, fat.
Got the recipe from Pam.
I don't know her, but I like her.
Pam really cooks.
Chet, I don't like this.
What?
Keeping Victor tied up like that?
What do you want me to do?
He's already tried to escape.
I can't let him go.
Why, Chet, let him go.
He's in the way.
We don't need him anymore.
Yeah?
Well, we'll take care of that.
Chet, I have never heard you speak like this.
I guess sometimes you have to shock people to get their attention, huh?
You have my attention.
Good.
And tell me, what's it worth to you, Ramona?
To save Victor's life?
What would you give me to let him go?
Chet, don't!
What are you doing?
Stop!
I'm a dead man.
Go ahead and get out of here.
As much as I want to see my son, I still have to ask, what is it going to cost me?
Maybe a little cooperation.
We can talk about that when the time comes.
No, that is the part that scares me.
Jill, I'm trying to help you.
Obviously you're in a pretty deep funk.
I'm sorry, I just feel like an anvil has fallen on my head.
I feel so lost for some reason.
I feel like I'm losing touch with who I am.
I think maybe that has something to do with Billy.
Are you saying I'm a bad mother?
No, I'm not saying anything like that.
No, but that's what you meant, isn't it?
I am saying this is a difficult time for you.
You're rattling around in that great big house all by yourself.
Maybe some of these feelings you've had about Billy, feelings you've been shoving under the carpet, are just now coming up for air.
I feel so lonely all of a sudden.
If I could bring Billy here, if only for part of the summer.
Let me see what I can do.
Jack, you don't know what it would mean to me.
If I could see him, even for like a month or two.
I would be forever in your debt.
