All right, break time.
Oh.
You have to keep up your strength.
Mm-hmm.
Titch hut!
All right, soldier, eyes forward.
Hands at your sides.
No, on second thought, uh...
Hands around my neck.
Oh, yeah.
At ease.
Mm-hmm.
Do you miss barking out all those commands?
I always had someone to do it for me.
Mm-hmm.
But believe me, when so ordered, those people took their breaks.
Aye-aye.
You have been working too hard.
Aye-aye again?
Aye-aye, yes, I know, that's the name.
No, I have not been working too hard.
Besides that, I haven't found what I've been looking for,
or what Hank wants.
Which is real proof that Dorian killed my father.
Well, you know, if there was any proof during the research,
I would have done something about it.
Yeah, I know.
You know what I did find out, though,
because, you see, I was a detective in my former life.
Every single reference you made
to the rumors that Dorian was connected with my father's death,
you referred back to Ethel Crawford.
Ethel Crawford was his nurse at the time of his death.
Yes, right.
So I think I have to talk to Ethel Crawford.
You can try.
Don't tell me, Ethel Crawford's phone number?
Yes, and I think it's time we once again
try to get in touch with her.
I don't believe this.
You're going to leave now?
There's no way around it.
Well, what's the hap... Who was that on the phone?
That was the station manager from our New York affiliate.
He had a newsflash for me about Ted Patton.
The talk show host?
Oh, honey, come on, now, he's not just a talk show host.
He calls himself the king of conversation.
Well, he does have the ratings to back him up.
Well, maybe not after today.
Ted showed up blind drunk and he went on the air anyway.
And no one tried to stop him?
Nobody even knew he was drunk until he was on the air
just slurring insults at his in-studio, on-air guest
who happens to be America's favorite country singer.
Oh, bad move, Ted.
You want to talk about protests?
All of a sudden, the switchboard just lights up at the studio
and then people are starting to lodge complaints with the FCC.
What a nightmare.
If I don't get up to New York right now
and help solve this whole situation,
this station could be in big trouble.
So, come on, we better get packed.
We?
We, yes, as in you and me, us.
Boy, I understand that this is an emergency, but I'm not going anywhere.
You don't know how long I've been waiting for this.
To see you helpless, begging for life.
Huh?
But nothing.
But nobody.
How does it feel, pal?
How does it feel to be nothing?
Merry Christmas, pal.
I know it's early.
But don't say I never gave you nothing.
No, I don't. Please, I'm begging you.
Yeah, I know.

Hey, I'll try Sunny D.
Good stuff.
Hey, two kinds of Sunny D.
Some kids love the rich, tangy taste of Original Sunny Delight,
but other kids prefer California-style,
with its lighter texture and smoother orange taste.
I'll bake Original.
Bake mine, California.
Hey, wait up.
Original Sunny Delight, Original Florida Citrus Punch,
and lighter texture California-style.
What?
I'm just thinking about how beautiful you are.
What a sweet thing to say.
Hello?
Yes, hi.
Ethel Crawford, please.
It is?
Oh.
Oh, my.
How nice.
Miss Crawford, this is Victoria Buchanan speaking.
Well, actually, you would probably remember me as Victoria Lord,
Victor Lord's daughter from Landview, remember?
Oh, good.
Yes, yes, it has been a long time,
and it's very nice to hear your voice.
Yes.
Yeah, obviously you've moved, have you?
Well, it probably is a little bit odd,
but quite frankly, I was thinking about you,
and I thought, hey, why not pick up the phone, call her,
see how she is?
So, how, um, how are you?
Oh, well, that's a shame, isn't it?
Do you have to take insulin?
Well, I think it must be not so difficult for you,
I mean, considering that you are a nurse,
and a very fine one, as I recall.
You're very welcome.
Well, it was lovely talking to you too, but you know,
Miss Crawford, gosh, while I have you on the phone here,
it just occurred to me, I wonder if you wouldn't mind
if I just asked you a few questions about that time
when you were my father's nurse, you know, just before he...
Hello?
She hung up.
Where's the redial?
No, she's not going to answer.
Well, so much for Nurse Crawford,
who is obviously not going to talk to me about my father.
I think it's obvious what happened to her.
Yeah, I think we could probably sum it up in two little words.
Dorian Ford.
You're not going to go with me to New York?
No.
Honey, I'm going to be there overnight.
I realize that.
I want us to be together.
We haven't had a chance like this in a long time.
Oh, yeah, Bo, like that's really going to happen.
Why?
What are you talking about?
Bo, you're going to New York City, okay?
New York City.
You're going there to stop a major disaster
from happening to your radio network.
Yes, yeah.
I'm not going to work all night long,
if that's what you're worried about.
Come off it, if you can.
And you'll work 24 hours a day,
if that's what it takes to stop this nightmare.
You know you will.
What am I supposed to do in the meantime?
Count the number of sirens that go by the hotel?
You can do whatever you want to do.
What I want is peace and quiet, and you.
I mean, not necessarily in that order.
What I'm not going to get is you.
And if I want peace and quiet,
I'm going to have to go lock myself in some bank vault.
I thought you always loved New York.
Bo, Ben Price said that I should avoid excitement, okay?
In New York, going to the corner is a major adventure.
What I really want to do is I'm going to stay here,
I'm going to get some rest,
and I'm going to wait for you to come back to me, okay?
I've had a little brain surgery.
I mean, it's the ultimate excuse.
That's exactly why I don't want to leave you alone.
What if something happens to you?
I might get dangerously refreshed from all that clean sea air.
I'm serious.
So am I.
The operation was a smashing success.
My eyes have never been better, see?
I don't like the idea of you being in this house all alone.
All right.
I don't want to go to New York with you.
You don't want me to stay here by myself.
Let's compromise.
How?
Why don't I ask Rachel to come spend the night with me?
How does that sound?
That sounds great.
Give her a call.
Okay.
She's probably still at the law office.
I asked her to go over there and help out since Jill's on vacation.
Rachel.
Hello, Mom.
How are things at the old law mill?
Well, let me put it to you this way.
Jill earns her keep.
There is a ton of mail here for you.
Well, maybe I can handle it.
You can't.
You are having a wonderful time at a beach house, remember?
Well, maybe I could do that if you brought the mail to me.
How about coming down and spending the night with me?
Bo has some business to take care of in New York,
so he'll be gone for the night.
He doesn't really want me to be alone, and I'd love to have you.
Well, okay, wait a minute.
My mom would like me to come over and have a slumber party with her.
Sounds like fun.
Go.
Don't worry about me.
I love you.
You're on.
Terrific.
Oh, and if you're going to bring all that mail with you,
could you do me a favor and perhaps pick up that special project
that I've been working on?
Bo's right there, isn't he?
Uh-huh.
Look, don't worry about a thing.
I will bring everything with me,
but let me get off this phone so I can get started.
I will call you just before I leave, okay?
I love you.
Bye.
Wait, wait, wait.
What's wrong?
You didn't say anything about Todd.
I'll tell her when I get there, okay?
Rachel.
She sounded so happy.
I didn't feel like casually saying,
oh, Mom, by the way, Todd Manning broke out of prison.
Why ruin her day? Why make her worry?
Besides, Todd is probably a thousand miles away from here right now.
Okay.
That was pretty close, huh?
I just wanted to make sure you were paying attention.
Don't listen to him.
You are nothing, pal.
You hear me? You are a zero.
Todd, shut up!
I could have snuffed you just now, pal.
I really would have enjoyed the sound of that rock
smashing into your head.
As far as I'm concerned, you deserve to be dead
the way you sold me out.
But I'm gonna let you live,
at least for a little while,
because I want you to walk around every day
knowing that there's nothing you can do,
not one stinking thing that you can do to get in my way.
And I want you to watch
how I score with all the scum suckers
that ganged up on me.
You can't!
You don't tell me what I can and can't do.
You see, I make the rules now.
I make all the rules, pal.
And here's rule number one.
If you open your yap about our little visit here,
I'll come back and I'll make sure
that you know the meaning of the word dead.
And then I'll take care of your little girlfriend, Rebecca.
I hope we don't come back to you.
That really gets to you, huh?
Just keep your mouth shut.
A Christmas present for Nora.
Well, there's a nice idea.
No matter how old your wood furniture may be,
there's no better way to keep it looking young
than with New Pledge.
Because New Pledge has cleansing conditioners
to gently lift the dirt, the smudges and the fingerprints
that regular dusting can leave behind.
New Pledge with cleansing conditioners
for beautiful work every time you dust.

K-Mart has this RCA 19-inch color TV
and this VCR on sale.
Perfect.
While Bob's watching sports, I can tape my shows,
and when I'm watching, he can be taping.
That's a lot of taping and watching.
Or is it watching and taping?
How about something practical for Joey?
It's like a couple of Super Nintendo games.
That's practical.
When K-Mart has all Game Boy NES and Super Nintendo games
at 15% off, I say they're practical.
You know what?
