10x28 - Down Came the Rain and Washed the Spider Out – Parts 2

[bunniefuu]

[theme music]

[music continues]

[screams]

Listen to... Please let me in.

-No. -You tried to k*ll me.

How do you know it wasn't an accident?

It was deliberate.

Then how do you know he wasn't after me?

I don't know that, they probably want you

as badly as they want me.

"They." Who is they, Ted?

Who is trying to k*ll you?

-Abby. -Your lover?

And Greg, for all I know.

That was one of their drivers. I've seen him before.

[Paige] Yeah, right.

Greg has signed one of his chauffeurs

to run you down.

Was that part of his regular duties

or is he getting overtime?

I'm telling you the truth.

You're the one I worry about, Ted.

I think "They" is you.

First, Nagata has a freak accident.

Then Rick Hawkins has a freak accident.

Well, I don't wanna be one of your freak accidents.

Believe me, Paige.

I had nothing to do with her death.

[shouting] Believe you?

You couldn't tell the truth if you were paid to.

That's exactly what Abby counted on you saying.

Now would you just...

Hi, this is Paige Matheson.

Paige, you're making a big mistake.

There's a strange man outside my door

-He won't leave me alone. -He and Abby are a team.

She set me up exactly the way she sets you up

and he went along with it every step of the way.

Listen, you've... You've gotta...

You've gotta help me. We've gotta help each other.

-Paige. -Hey!

You okay?

Yes, I'll be fine. Thank you.

Just call me as soon as you get him

-...out of the building. -You got it.

[instrumental music]

[water dripping]

-And your name is... -Paige Hawkins.

I'm Rick Hawkins' sister.

-Is your name on his account? -Well, no, but he--

I'm sorry, but your brother would have to come in person.

I know, but Rick's been incredibly busy

and he hasn't received his monthly statement.

-It was mailed yesterday. -Yesterday?

Oh, that's right, it was due yesterday

but I need to know today.

Rick asked me to find out if a certain check had cleared.

It would be written out to a postmaster.

I can't help him, Miss Hawkins

but if your brother calls customer service

and gives his account information

they'll tell him if the check is cleared.

There'll be a five-dollar charge--

-Susie? -Excuse me.

Your brother's too busy to do this in person?

That's right.

When did you speak with him last?

When? What difference does it make?

Well, if you were really his sister

you'd know what difference it makes.

[dramatic music]

Need to get a Rick Hawkins records.

[laughs] Way back?

-Hundred bucks. -[laughing] Oh.

Come on. Five hundred bucks. Give me a break.

Look, I just witnessed

the executive bloodbath of a decade.

No way am I gonna compromise

my position with the corporation.

What bloodbath?

Greg Sumner just fired everybody who worked for his wife.

-Why? -You didn't hear?

-No. -Let's go.

I mean, Abby went to Japan without--

As in "sayonara." Private car.

You know I never liked that woman?

I mean, except for her "come and get me" sexuality

emanating from her every pore

I really never thought that she was good

for the corporation.

Of course, what does Mr. Sumner care

when he's got Little Miss Matheson

waiting in the wings?

-Is he seeing Paige? -[scoffs]

Just a matter of time before she's back at her desk

and back in his bed, if she's not there already.

You know, he might have been in her bed

when I went to see her.

-When was that? -The day before yesterday.

Wrong. He was in Washington.

No, no, no, he came back on the Q.T.

to do a little business.

It could have been mixed with pleasure.

[snaps fingers] That's the reason

she cold shouldered me.

Of course, she might have been upset

about Hawkins.

Hey, do you think that Paige and Rick were getting it on?

Paige and Rick Hawkins?

What makes you say something like that?

Well, you know, I found this letter

that he wrote to her.

-And what did the letter say? -What do you think, I opened it?

What do you think I am, man? I delivered it.

Not a lot of good it did me.

-And was it heavy? -What?

You know, the letter. Was it a thick envelope?

-Heavy? Small? -It was just an envelope.

-It was an envelope. -Just an envelope?

Just an envelope.

What do you say, Mort?

I was just escorting Mr. Melcher

out of the building, Mr. Sumner.

I insisted he leave.

Good.

[telephone ringing]

-Hello? -I'm sorry if I came on--

[telephone ringing]

[telephone ringing]

[telephone ringing]

I'll call the police, Ted.

[Ted] You're right about Rick Hawkins.

What?

I said I think maybe you were right

about Rick Hawkins. Maybe he was m*rder*d.

Maybe Greg Sumner had something to do with it.

-You're crazy. -Listen.

I'm in trouble here

and you're the only person who can help me.

But then you're really in trouble.

I know you think that Greg Sumner

could never be guilty of anything wrong.

Greg has nothing to do with this.

He's no angel.

He hasn't exactly treated you

with kid gloves, has he?

[Ted] He married Abby. He let her fire you.

She set you up for that and he stood by.

Listen, I've been straighter with you than he has.

Yeah, you've been an altar boy, Ted.

You're so sure of yourself. Prove he's innocent.

-Tell me what you know. -About what?

Mort told me he gave you a letter from Rick Hawkins.

[dramatic music]

[rings doorbell repeatedly]

[knocks on door]

[knocks on door]

Karen?

Karen.

Is anybody home?

[Ted knocks on door] Paige, I know you're in there.

[Ted knocks on door] Let's talk. Just talk, okay?

[door knob rattles]

I just need to know what to know.

Go home, Ted.

Just talk to me. Say anything.

[Ted] What was in that letter?

Lady, just listen to me, okay? Just listen.

I'm not gonna listen to someone who's lied to me

as much as you have.

-Paige. -Get out of here, Ted.

Greg probably knows Abby and I had an affair.

Not my problem.

[intense music]

Paige. He knows I work for her.

He knows I saw everything Abby did

to cover up her ownership of Murakame.

[Ted] Paige.

He's protecting her

because it's in his own best interest.

Paige. Paige.

Paige, you've got to help me. We've got to help each other.

I'm more afraid than you are.

I'm calling the police, Ted.

Paige?

You okay?

Frank?

This is none of your business, friend.

I'm not your friend and I decide what's my business.

-Paige. This guy bothering you? -Yes.

Goodbye.

I won't get any satisfaction when you come to realize

that I was right about Greg.

Because by then, it'll be too late to matter.

[engine rumbling]

Who... Who was...

Listen, didn't Mack tell you he was leaving?

-No. -Yeah.

He and Karen went to the mountains.

Alright. I got a number for him here.

Wait a minute.

-What? What? -[Karen moans in pain]

-Don't get up. Don't get... -[Karen moans in pain]

[Karen] I can't get up. My feet, it's broken.

[Mack shouting] Oh, my... Hey, call an ambulance.

[Karen moans in pain]

You son of a b*tch.

Oh. Steve, I'll call you right back.

-Pardon me. -Who are you?

Oh, I'm Richard Mitchell.

I'm the new manager of the apartment.

What are you doing in my apartment?

Well, I came up here to see if you left yet.

Look, I have two more days before you can evict me.

I just came up to tell you

you don't have to move out right now.

-Why not? -Oh, it's just...

It's okay if you wanna stay.

Who told you I could stay? Was it Greg?

All I know is you can stay as long as you like.

He's going to Japan and he doesn't care.

Or else he figures that--

[Richard] He's not going to Japan with his wife.

I heard it on the radio.

This man isn't far from a D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Lori, is Mr. Sumner in?

No, sorry.

He fired about 50 people, then went home early.

Hmm.

Thanks.

[gasps]

Let go of me.

It's so difficult.

I keep asking myself, how can I get through to her?

I rack my brain. How do I make her believe me?

I know she still carries a torch for Greg.

I know that no matter what he does

no matter how many times he lies

no matter how often he double-crosses her

or abandons her or makes fun of her

she forgives him.

Or at least she wants to forgive him

because she loves him.

So where does that leave me?

How can I help...

-Ted-- -Paige.

if I wanted to hurt you, I could do it right now

and get away with it.

If that were what I wanted, there would be nothing

nothing to stop me.

What does that tell you? Am I the villain?

Because you love Greg, am I the villain?

Now, Paige, I know you know this

but do you remember it?

Abby could not do anything without Greg's approval.

She couldn't have fired you without Greg's approval.

He authorized it.

I was there with him in the same room when he said...

[sighs]

He said, "Fire the little b*tch."

Little b*tch is what he called you.

What he called you...

[gloomy music]

[sighs]

Oh, poor thing. Does it hurt?

[Karen] Oh, no, I'm fine. I'm just... I feel so badly.

-I spoiled your vacation. -You did not.

We've already been on a tour of this historical hospital.

All six rooms.

[Paula] Seven rooms if you wanna count

the closet with the vending machines.

-Oh, you're gonna make me cry. -In this town?

Oh, what a mecca for tourists.

They have a gas station here and a library.

-A branch. -Branch library.

You're just teasing an injured person

and I feel badly enough as it is

and the doctor says I have to stay overnight

for observation.

We know. She told us.

Hey, maybe there's a good hotel and you can get a nice dinner.

There's not even a bad one.

-There's no good one. -Oh.

Well, there is one 13 miles away

so I'm gonna stay there.

Oh, we'll pay for your taxi.

No taxi.

So I'm gonna drive her up there and then I'll come back

because I wanna spend the night with you.

Honey, I don't want you to drive all the way back here.

-It's just too much trouble. -No, no, no. I want to.

Well, be careful driving in the rain.

-It's not raining. -But it's going to rain.

Oh, you can tell the change in the weather

in your broken bones?

No, I read it in the paper this morning.

Is he there now?

-Yes. -Is Abby gone?

[Carlos] Yes.

Does Greg intend to go to Japan?

No.

[Paige] What kind of mood is he in?

-Well, yes. -Oh.

Has he talked about divorce?

Not to me.

I really appreciate this, Carlos.

Has he... Has he mentioned me?

Not recently.

[Paige] What do you think? He wants to see me?

I don't know.

Do you think he'd talk to me?

I don't know.

Thanks, Carlos.

[Carlos] You're welcome.

-Who was that? -Wrong number, sir.

[elevator bell ringing]

Hi, Mort.

Hello, Bob.

-Miss Matheson. -Hi, Paige.

I need to ask you a favor.

Go ahead. Make my day.

[chuckles] Well, you don't have to sh**t anyone.

[laughs] Darn.

I need access to Rick Hawkins's files briefly.

Those files are private property

and neither of us has the authority to access them.

Especially for someone whose employment here

has been terminated.

That's right.

See, I believe in taking risks.

Show me an opportunity.

I'm gonna jump in just the way that I am.

Take your proposal, for example. I--

Is this the end of it?

I hope not. I've got two reservations in--

I mean, are these all the records there are?

Yeah.

Well, he wasn't in business very long.

So, did you get what you were after?

No.

-Not yet. -Neither did I.

Well, I'll take a rain check. Thank you, Mort.

[Mack] You know, I don't know why everyone

keeps talking about the rain.

There hasn't been a cloud in the sky all the way here.

[Paula] The storm is behind us, Mack.

Just drop me off so you can get back

before it hits.

[Mack] No problem. Paula, Come on.

I'll stay till you're sure you've got a room.

[Paula] Okay.

[thunder rumbling]

-Hi. -Howdy.

-How you doing? -We need a room.

Well, she needs a room. We only got one left.

-Great. -That's all we need.

-"We"? -I need.

-He's not staying. -Yeah, I'm not staying.

Hey, I'm not your mother.

It's 29 dollars. Cash or credit card.

-Cash. -Yeah, I'll get it.

-No. Mack. -No, I'll get it.

I feel responsible for this, Paula.

You wouldn't be here if I...

[rain splattering]

Wow. See, my wife's in the hospital.

-Oh, I'm sorry. -Yeah.

She broke her leg, her ankle, actually.

I'm headed right back there right now.

Right. She broke her leg.

-Her ankle. -Right.

I'm headed right back there right now.

Drive carefully. Check-out time is 10:00 a.m.

-Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. -Thanks. Thank you.

Wow.

[thunder rumbling]

[rain splattering]

[Mack] Well, it looks comfortable, huh?

[Paula] Yeah.

You know, that guy thought that we were...

[chuckles] Yeah.

It's funny.

Yeah. Well.

Well.

-Bye. -My stuff.

It's in the car.

-Oh yeah. I'll get it. -No, no, no. I'll get it.

-No, I'll get it. It's my stuff. -No, I'll get it.

[upbeat music]

[rain splattering]

[laughs]

Whoa!

It's not mine.

Uh, yeah, it's Karen's. Well...

I'll bring it back. I've... I've gotta go.

I really think it's awfully dangerous

to drive in this rain.

-Yeah, well... I'll be okay. -I don't know.

I'd never forgive myself if something happened to you.

Why don't we just eat dinner

and then you can go after the storm's blown over?

Let's do it.

[music continues]

[eerie music]

[thud]

[intense music]

-[car honks honking] -[car tires screeching]

[honks car horn] Stupid idiot.

-Look, I'm running out of time. -[honks car horn]

Abby set me up and Hawkins had the evidence

to clear me, then you've gotta let me know

what you know before you give it to Sumner.

If you give it to Sumner before I get--

[honks car horn]

[man on car] Take it out. Move the car, huh?

Wait a minute, please. Wait a minute.

-[man on car] Right. -Okay.

You gotta let me know.

[shouting] Look, I don't have anything

and you know it because you stole it!

What are you talking about?

[man on car] Hey, enough with the gal.

Would you move the car? Just move the car.

[shouting] Paige. Paige!

[intense music]

Where to?

I don't know. Just drive.

Can't just drive. Tell me.

North, south, east, or west. Make up something.

Santa Monica Pier, Oxnard, San Diego, something.

The Sumner ranch.

[rain splattering]

I know it may sound on purpose, but my apartment was burglarized

and the key I showed you has--

Is that the same key you showed me

just before your old man tried to punch my eye out?

I know. I'm sorry he hit you.

But the key was stolen

and Ted was with Nagata just before he died.

And he was with Rick Hawkins the night he died.

Just a second. Carlos, I think we're hungry.

It's too wet to eat out on the patio, sir.

I'll prepare the dining room.

No, no, we'll eat right here.

-Very well, sir. -Thank you.

I'm sorry. Go ahead.

Look, don't write me off.

I'm not writing you off.

I'm having dinner with you, am I not?

You just have to realize that there's no evidence

of foul play in either one of those deaths

and all the corporate paperwork at Murakame was perfectly legal.

And as for Mr. Melcher, well...

I'll take care of him right after dinner.

What's the occasion for champagne?

Well, it was Carlos's suggestion.

I think he wants us to celebrate my divorce.

You see, Carlos never warmed to Abby.

-[clinks glass] -To Carlos.

Si.

[rain splattering]

[country music on radio]

[thunder rumbling]

[Mack chuckles]

Ketchup.

You have ketchup on your lip.

Oh.

Thanks.

I was just thinking about our first dinner together.

We met.

We were attracted to each other.

Paula...

Okay.

I was attracted to you.

Excuse me. Can we get a check, please?

Mack, you can't still be self-conscious about this.

Come on.

After all this time, we can laugh about it, can't we?

Come on.

Well, I think this is really funny.

I mean, who would ever believe this?

Don't you think this is funny?

I met you.

I fell for you.

Then I became good friends with your wife and your son

and I didn't know it was your wife and your son.

Then I meet you again and I stay at your house.

Come on.

If I read this in a book, I would never believe it.

This is so outrageous.

I'm not even embarrassed by it anymore.

Here we are now after all that, together again.

Eating dinner together.

I'm sorry. I think it's cool.

Years from now, we'll laugh about it.

Yup.

I've gotta make a phone call.

Excuse me. Where's the phone?

Out of order. One across the road. The motel.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

[rain splattering]

Telephone for you, Miss Matheson.

Your father.

How does he know you're here?

I have no idea.

At least he can't poke me in the eye over the phone.

Hi, Mack.

Greg was in California the night Rick Hawkins died.

He was here, not in Washington.

-What? -[Ted] He kept it a secret.

He came back home undercover

and the late Rick Hawkins spokesman for Murakame

employed by Greg's wife.

winds up taking a bath with his electric hair dryer.

Ask him. Ask him. See if he tells you the truth.

Mack has that effect on some people.

It was Ted.

Ted?

Carlos.

Put the answering machine on and then adios.

Very well, sir. Good evening.

-Carlos. -Yes?

Thank you very much for everything.

[whispering] Was Greg here on Wednesday

before Olivia's party?

Not at the ranch, but he was in California

on business.

-Thank you. -Sure.

[dramatic music]

Hi. How you doing?

I'm fine. I'm worried about you.

Yeah, well, what's a little rain?

Oh. Don't be silly.

Stay at the motel.

Don't drive back here in this weather.

Well, I'll wait till it lifts up a little bit.

Don't bother.

I'm just gonna stay awake

worrying about you if you drive.

Well, I wouldn't drive unless it's safe.

Okay. I love you.

Okay. Love you too.

[thunder rumbling]

[rain splattering]

[groans] Aaah!

[metal clanking]

Got a hat.

-A-ha! -Wait.

-It's flat. -It's flat.

I told Karen to check the spare.

We'll call the gas station.

It's flat.

Thank you.

Eight o'clock tomorrow morning is the earliest

and there's nobody even open within 50 miles.

[Mack sighs] It's just like New York.

You can never find a cab when you need one.

This is silly. Why don't you just stay here?

No, thank you.

Why not?

Because I will... I'll sleep in the car.

You don't have to do that.

It wouldn't be the first time.

And I'll be very comfortable.

-Hi. -What is it?

Oh, Karen, it's a long story.

I just can't drive up there tonight

And I didn't want you to wait up and worry.

Oh, well, I'm glad. I didn't want you to.

-It's getting worse. -Yeah, well...

[Karen] I love you, honey.

I'm so sorry for messing up your vacation.

[chuckles] Yeah, well...

Do you love me, all alone here,

sitting in my mean hospital bed?

Yes.

Why aren't you gonna say it?

[laughs]

[coughing] Love you.

Goodnight.

[smacks]

Okay. Goodnight.

Where's my kiss?

-[thunder rumbling] -Wow, look at that lightning.

[smacks] Okay.

Thank you.

Sleep tight.

[Mack] Yeah, sure. Goodnight.

[sighs]

This is silly.

But if you insist.

Thanks.

Are you sure? There's plenty of room.

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

[instrumental music]

[rain splattering]

[thunder rumbling]

Hi, hi.

-Can I come in? -What?

Can you open the door?

-Not after 10 o'clock. -Wait a minute.

Can I sleep in there? Right in here?

-I-I can't open the door. -Yeah, but I'll pay you for it.

I can't open the door after 10 o'clock.

It's a-an insurance regulation.

Yeah, but just let me sleep on the floor.

-Right in here. -What?

I just wanna sleep here.

It's insurance regulations. Sorry.

[thunder rumbling]

[shouting] Oh! Oh no!

Oh. Oh no!

Oh, no!

[comical music]

Oh no!

Oh. Oh no!

Oh!

Oh, this...

No. My...

[grunts]

Oh!

[grunting] What else?

[knocks on door]

You're not gonna believe this.

[soft music]

[thunder rumbling]

[Greg] You know, they used to say

that if you stared at a fire long enough

you could go nuts.

When did you find out that Ted owned Murakame?

When I was in Washington, Abby called me.

Is that why you came back early?

Who said I came back early?

Someone at the office.

I guess I haven't fired enough people.

So you did come back earlier?

Earlier than what?

The Wednesday night before Olivia's party.

[Greg] Yeah.

Why?

We were involved in a friendly takeover

and most of the participants needed a little hand-holding.

I didn't advertise my presence

but I needed to be there in person.

You're very persuasive in person.

So they tell me.

[Paige] But being persuasive isn't the same

as being truthful.

What company was it?

Manco Advertising.

Want me to get you the minutes of the meeting?

Before you...

continue to cross-examine me, I gotta let you know

that I'm not the kind of guy that gets off on talks

about takeovers and acquisitions.

You know what I mean?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to cross-examine you.

Sure you did, but why?

[Paige] Oh, everything.

Ted told me that you k*lled Rick Hawkins.

Can you believe that?

No. Well...

[sighs]

You have been mean to me.

Mean? What do you mean, mean? When was I mean to you?

You married Abby.

I was being mean to me.

Well, I guess I better get going.

I guess.

I'll have to call a cab.

I'll get you the phone.

I'll have to borrow the fair.

No problem.

-[rain splattering] -[thunder rumbling]

[Mack] Paula, do you have a towel?

-Hey, Paula. Do you have-- -Coming. Coming, coming, coming.

Here.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

[thunder rumbling]

Hmm. [clears throat]

This is like a bad dream.

[eerie music]

[thunder rumbling]

[thunder rumbling]

[instrumental music]

[eerie music]

[Ted] I won't get any satisfaction

when you come to realize that I was right about Greg.

Because by then, it'll be too late to matter.

[Paige] And now Rick Hawkins has disappeared

but before he did, he sent me this key.

Who's Rick Hawkins?

[instrumental music]

[Greg] Yo!

Come on back to bed.

[dramatic music]

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

[music continues]

[car alarm blaring]

[pants]

[car alarm stops]

[rain pattering]

[Greg shouting] Hey!

[tense music]

[Greg] Come on, Paige! This is not fun.

[panting]

You, hey.

This Kick croquet game has been cancelled

because of inclement weather.

You.

I was being a little dramatic here.

Hey, wait, wait a minute.

Let me say something, will you?

What do you want me to say?

I don't care what you say.

I can't believe anything you tell me.

That's not fair.

[instrumental music]

[Ted] Paige!

Everything I told you about it was true, wasn't it?

You're not gonna believe him, are you?

[theme music]
