08x11 - A Turn of Events

[bunniefuu]

[theme music plays]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

[intense music]

[Jill's voicemail] Hi, I can't take your call just now,

but leave me a message and I'll get back to you

as soon as I can. Wait for the beep.

-[beep tone] -[Gary] I hate these machines.

Um, look, maybe I was a little hard on you today.

Um, how about dinner tonight?

No answer. You're not there.

Well, uh, call me. Bye.

[intense music]

I don't like lying to Gary.

And I don't want to do it anymore.

I love him, Peter.

And I trust him.

Enough to tell him that you're my brother.

[Peter] What?

[Abby] Well, then we'll have another

nasty scandal on our hands, won't we?

Oh, candidate Peter Hollister, a fraud.

[Greg] Congratulations to one big happy family.

[music continues]

[Peter] Why'd we have to driveway out here?

[Jill] Because I don't want anyone to see us together.

[Peter scoffing] You mean you don't want Gary

to see us together.

Peter, have you ever been in love?

[Peter] Oh, spare me the poetry.

You sleep with a guy and you fall in love with him.

Well, sleep with the mailman. Sleep with the football team.

Sleep with the whole planet, for all I care.

But stay away from Gary Ewing.

[Jill] Peter, don't you care how I feel?

-Don't you care? -My God, Jill.

[Peter] Of course I care.

[sobbing] You're my sister.

You're the only family I've got.

Peter!

[screaming]

[Abby] You know, stress

can make people do real weird things, Peter.

You're innocent, Peter, so act like it.

[woman 1] Oh, wow. Look at the view.

-[man 1] Isn't it great? -It's beautiful.

-I knew that you'd like it. -Yeah.

-Oh, great. -Oh, don't stop now.

It's not that far to where we're going to camp.

Oh, let's just sit here and rest for a little while.

Oh, come on. It's beautiful. Come on.

You're going to like it. It's secluded.

-Yeah, how do you know? -There's nobody around.

[woman 1] You've been here before?

[man 1] Yeah, nobody ever comes up around here.

[instrumental music]

[tires screeching]

You're a public official now.

Which reminds me, congratulations are in order.

[Peter] She thinks I tried to k*ll her.

-Did you? -[Peter] No.

[Abby] Well, then we'll have another

nasty scandal on our hands, won't we?

Oh! Candidate Peter Hollister, a fraud.

[instrumental music]

Fill her up?

Yeah, sure.

Unleaded?

Yeah.

[Gary] You're playing a game this time.

It'll be the last one you play.

[Greg] But I should remind you that I got you elected,

and I can get you unelected just as quick.

[Abby] It's not an idle threat.

[Sylvia] Because she knows what I know,

that you're no more Greg Sumner's brother than I am.

[Jill] Peter!

[man 2] You want me to check under the hood?

The hood, you want me to check it?

N-No.

You feeling okay, sir?

Oh, yeah, thanks.

[Abby] Are you out of your mind?

[Greg] But in the future, I keep my nose out of

places it doesn't belong.

You might get it clipped off.

And be patient.

And be prudent.

And don't do anything impulsive.

Take it from a guy who's done an impulsive thing

or two in his life.

I can tell you, just be prudent,

and nothing will stand between us and the White House.

[man 2] That'll be $16.50.

[bills rustling]

-There you go. -Thanks.

[Sylvia] My son, Peter, he can't be trusted.

Sylvia, you know, you can't stay here forever.

Are you throwing me out?

No. No, of course not.

I just mean that you can't hide from

Peter for the rest of your life.

He's dangerous.

Look, I've got an idea.

Why don't you hire a lawyer?

Have him draw up a letter about the little plots

that you and Peter hatched together.

Then let Peter know that if anything happens to you,

the lawyer will release the letter to the press.

I don't know any lawyer.

Oh, don't worry. I'll get you one.

Your lawyer?

Any lawyer you want, Sylvia.

I just think it'll make you sleep better at night.

And I'm sure it'll make Peter more respectful.

[dramatic music plays]

[Peter] Jill...

we're family.

You mean more to me than this election.

This whole thing doesn't mean much

if I can't share it with you.

You're my sister.

I miss you.

I need my sister by my side.

[Jill] I can't believe it's come to this.

I mean, we started out just trying to get back

what was ours.

We wanted to bring down Galveston Industries

because Paul Galveston hurt our parents.

Now you're no better than he was.

[Abby] Well, then we'll have another nasty scandal.

[Peter] Jill, you're my sister. There's no one else.

[Jill] You're innocent, Peter, so act like it.

Peter!

[screaming]

[Ben] Peter Hollister, cool and calm.

Is he worthy of the job?

Or did the Galveston millions put him in office?

So, is that your angle?

Hollister dared me to find out if he's the man he claims to be.

No puppet, he.

No Galveston or Sumner connection.

Well, you don't think he's going to do anything

to jeopardize his new career, do you?

There are people who record tapes

and leave them lying around to be discovered.

There's no accounting for human behavior.

Well, it's my opinion that he's on an ego trip.

You know, flush with success.

I don't think you'll find any skeletons in his closet.

Maybe not.

But his mother Sylvia seems to enjoy the limelight, too.

Maybe she can give us some insight as to what

goes on inside the man.

Ben, you know, didn't I tell you?

Mrs. Lean has taken ill.

She's staying at my house.

Uh, no. You didn't.

Yeah, she was out at the ranch one day.

I-I'd invited her out to, uh, try and interest her

in some of those charity committees.

You know, as mother of the senator-elect,

and she collapsed.

I guess it was her high blood pressure.

I was scared to death it was a heart attack or a stroke, but,

the doctor said she can't be moved for a while.

Anyway, this wasn't a high-priority project.

Why don't we wait until Hollister does something

newsworthy?

[office din]

[tires screeching]

[ringing tone]

[operator] 911 police emergency. Operator 5.

What is the nature of your emergency?

[panting]

Hello? 911 police emergency.

[Peter] I want to report an accident.

Jill, uh, you're not in your office today.

Where you hanging out?

Um, call me when you can.

Oh, uh, the dinner offer's still open.

-Bye. -[police siren wailing]

[man 3] That's as low as he can go!

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter over radio]

[Mack] Oh, look at this.

-Alright, it's a VCR! -It's not my birthday yet.

[Mack] That's a major gift.

-Oh, it was on sale. -[Mack] That's light.

I never brought a house gift to my new home.

It's... it's very extravagant, Paige.

Well, it's a special occasion.

[Mack] Beautiful.

Can I help you get dinner ready?

Oh, yeah, I guess so.

Uh, Michael, would you get your science

project off the table?

Eric's not coming home for dinner tonight.

-He's got a date. -I'll be right back.

[Michael] That's great. That's really nice.

Oh, this is beautiful.

-Well, I'm glad you like it. -I do.

I got it especially for you.

[chuckling] Oh, thank you.

Where'd you get the money for it?

-I sold a family heirloom. -Yeah.

-Stop with the gifts, will you? -[doorbell ringing]

-Okay. -I'll get it.

I'll help Karen in the kitchen.

[Paige] I'm starving.

Hey, how you doing?

-You got a minute? -Yeah, sure.

For you, anytime.

I'm not interrupting dinner or anything, am I?

[Mack] No, no, no, no.

They're, uh, they're just getting it ready in the kitchen.

-You got a minute? -Sure.

I'm gonna put this little doodad together while we talk.

-You don't mind, do you? -No.

What's up?

Peter Hollister's mother is staying at the Ewing Ranch

as a guest of Abby Ewing.

What? Come on.

The woman is now living with the wife

of the man who ran against her son?

[laughing] Why?

That is a question I would very much like to ask Mrs. Lean.

Oh.

So Abby's keeping her under wraps, huh?

That's another good question.

Right now, I'm told it's a matter of Sylvia being too sick

to give me an interview, but Abby very strongly suggested

that I lay back on my profile of Peter Hollister.

Mack, what on the face of the earth could make an alliance

between Peter Hollister, Sylvia Lean, and Abby Ewing?

I don't know.

So where do you think all this is leading?

I don't know.

-The dots don't even connect. -You're telling me.

I don't know.

Did you read the instructions before

you started putting this together?

[laughing] Why would I do that?

[dramatic music plays]

[helicopter rotors whirring]

[Karen humming] Oh, I forgot the-the...

Which dishes?

[Paige] Oh, here.

Why don't we use these?

-Okay. -[Paige] All right?

Oh, it smells... it smells good, doesn't it?

Hmm!

[Karen sighing]

Paige. You, um...

You don't have to buy us presents, you know.

Oh, I know I don't have to.

I just wanted to.

You're living with us, you're one of us.

You don't have to prove anything.

Oh, I'm not trying to prove anything.

Well, maybe I am.

It means a lot to me to fit in, and I just want

everything to be perfect.

It's just gonna take some time, you know.

I-I promise you, it's-it's going to be fine.

Is Mack glad I showed up?

Are you kidding? Of course, he is.

I mean, he was a little shocked.

We all were, but...

That's just to be expected, isn't it?

Oh, you've all been so nice to me.

Well, we're happy to have you here.

Well, thank you, Karen. I needed to hear that.

Paige.

Well, I want you to know that...

I'd like you to come and talk to me whenever you'd care to.

You know, woman to woman, or whatever.

Okay.

Well, we'd better get this dinner on the road.

Our guys are waiting.

[man 3] Put OR on standby.

[woman 2] Page Dr. Keller now.

[indistinct chatter]

[man 2] Move it, move it, come on!

[machine beeping]

[indistinct chatter]

[woman 3] X-rays, coming in.

[man 3] We've got a left pneumothorax...

[woman 2] Blood pressure's stable.

Respiration is 25 and labored.



-Excuse me. -Hm?

I got to connect this.

You see, Sylvia Lean seems to be the linchpin.

The question is, to what?

The other day, I went over to her apartment,

and there was Peter with Jill Bennett.

Peter, Jill Bennett, and Abby. I don't know what's going on.

You're kidding. I don't know, you got me, pal.

You better ask Jill Bennett.

And when you do, ask her where she's been all day.

-[phone ringing] -Oh, Mack, could you get that?

Hello.

Yes, Mack MacKenzie.

Who wants to know?

Yeah, I work with Jill Bennett.

[dramatic music plays]

I'll be right over.

-Is there some problem? -It's Jill Bennett.

Where are my keys?

-I gotta go. -What?

[Mack] She's in the emergency room at the hospital

in critical condition.

They found her at the bottom of Albin Canyon, unconscious.

-What, a car wreck, or-- -I don't know.

They need someone to identify her.

I'll call Gary.

[Ben] Can you tell Val I'm going with Mack?

Yeah.

Yeah, can I have the number for St. Agnes Hospital, please?

You tell him MacKenzie's on the phone.

I want to talk to him.

[man 4] Come on now, easy on that gurney.

[indistinct chatter]

Okay, let's put her in here.

Cliff, grab these IVs.

[Cliff] Got them.

[woman 3] Somebody watch the oxygen.

-Watch the chest tube. -Easy now.

-[woman 4] Her legs. -Let's get in 2 seconds.

On the count of three. One, two, three.

How is she?

She's in critical condition.

-Can I see her? -Apparently not yet.

What happened?

She was up in Albin Canyon. Some hiker called the troopers.

Listen, Gary, the troopers think that it was

an attempt at suicide.

Sui... She wouldn't commit suicide.

We know that. They don't know that.

All they know is that she was up there by herself.

[indistinct announcement over PA]

How should I know where Peter is?

It's very important that I reach him.

Listen, if you don't believe me, you're welcome to drive out here

to the ranch and see for yourself.

Have you tried his apartment?

[Ben] I did, yes. And I got his answering machine.

Well, I'm sure when he gets your message,

he'll call you back.

I'm not his answering service, but if I run into him,

I'll have him call you.

Thank you, please do. And I'm not at home.

I'm at St. Agnes Hospital.

You see, Jill Bennett was found

at the base of a cliff in Albin Canyon.

[Greg] Is she dead?

No, she's in critical condition.

And I just wondered if Peter Hollister

might have a comment on that.

What does Peter Hollister got to do with Jill Bennett?

She's Gary Ewing's campaign manager.

Yes, I know.

And I just saw Mr. Hollister and Ms. Bennett together

two days ago.

So what's the big deal?

She's a good-looking woman.

I don't think it was a social visit,

as it was in Sylvia Lean's apartment.

The police suspected it may not be an accident.

Jerry, out.

[dialing tone]

[phone ringing]

[Peter's voicemail] Please leave a message at the tone. Thanks.

-[beep tone] -You dope.

What the hell did you do now?

I leave you out of my sight for ten minutes.

Ten lousy minutes,

and you got the police climbing all over you

wanting to know about your whereabouts.

When are you gonna learn?

Call me as soon as you get in.

Do not talk to anyone.

Call me first. I repeat, do not talk to anyone.

Mr. Ewing. Ms. Bennett is awake now.

[announcer over PA] X-ray technician on call,

please call the emergency room.

[instrumental music plays]

[Gary sighing]

[Gary] Jill...

Jill, I'm so sorry.

It's all gonna be okay.

It's just gonna take a little time.

It-it's okay, it's okay, don't talk.

We got lots of time to talk.

Lots of time.

[woman 4] I think it would be better if we left, Mr. Ewing.

She has seen you.

Just let her rest.

Uh, look, honey.

I'm going to be right outside there.

If, uh, if you want anything, just-just ask the nurse.

I'm not leaving.

[instrumental music]

[sighing]

[Val] You want me to come in there and get it?

[Lilimae] No, no, you keep on working.

Everything's under control.

[Lilimae] Hats off. Choo-choo.

Choo-choo.

Choo-choo.

-Choo-choo-choo-choo. -[phone ringing]

How does anybody write at home?

-[Lilimae] Hello? -[Val mumbling]

[Lilimae] Oh, can I take a message? She's busy writing.

Oh, yes, it's gonna be a movie of the week.

These are the notes for the Dan and Cheryl Miller meeting?

[Lilimae] Well, I can't believe it either after all this time.

-[Val sighing] -It was a best-seller.

She's adapting it herself. It's for TV.

Well, it's what you call a-a backyard pilot.

Well, that means that if they like it

and the ratings are good,

they could turn it into a regular series.

Yeah. Oh, Betsy.

-Of course, it's hard work. -[doorbell ringing]

I mean, everybody sends her notes...

-Too much violence? -[Lilimae] Memos?

-[doorbell ringing] -...Memos along with the movie.

Mama, would you please get the door?

Oh, if-if you'll excuse me,

I've got to answer the doorbell.

I-I'll tell her you called.

[doorbell ringing]

Yes?

I have a delivery from Ramelow Productions.

-Oh, Ramelow. -Oh, wait a minute, here.

I'll take care of it.

-Where do I sign? -Okay, right here, yes.

-I could have done that for you. -I know, mama. I have it.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Here it is.

Oh, no.

Well, what is it, sweet pea?

More memos. I haven't even

finished the last batch yet.

Well, what do those people have to say?

[sighing] I don't know.

I guess they have to give me their input.

It helps to justify their jobs.

Pretty soon you're going to run out of space for the input.

-[Val] I know. -Oh, I'm coming, Betsy.

Guma's coming. Now, are you hungry?

If you want anything, just holler.

And otherwise, we will be as quiet as little...

as little church mice.

Let's see...

Maybe we can speed it up.

What's the hurry?

No, that should be "Hurry up."

Stronger.

[mumbling]

What did you have to do with Jill Bennett's accident?

-Nothing. -Will you stop saying nothing?

Ben Gibson doesn't call me over nothing.

He's snooping around. Now, what's he trying to find out?

I don't know!

What do you mean you don't know?

Listen, let me put a few facts in front of you to mull over.

Your mother, the ever-charming Mrs. Lean,

is holed up at the Ewing Ranch,

probably a willing c*ptive

of the ever-charming Mrs. Ewing.

A weird arrangement, you will admit.

Ben Gibson told me that he saw you and Miss Bennett

together in Sylvia Lean's apartment.

Now, that's a strange place to be holding meetings.

He asks me about your relationship.

We don't have a relationship.

Then what is he implying?

We had one once.

The woman is dying in the hospital

under mysterious circumstances.

You could be implicated.

They don't have anything on me!

[Greg] They don't have to have anything on you!

If they implicate you, it's over!

We got him.

I don't have anything.

The facts.

Peter Hollister used to date Jill Bennett,

who was Gary Ewing's campaign manager,

and was seen with her after the election by you

and two days before the accident.

Well, that's certainly full of innuendo.

They can't prove anything!

They don't have to prove anything

to bury you publicly, all they have to do is print it.

You put it on the air, the press will print it.

That's what headlines are made of.

I am not a yellow journalist.

It has never been, nor will it ever be my style.

The timing is right, Ben.

This is the break we've been waiting for.

Of all the rotten breaks, can't you see the papers now?

"State senator's former lover plunges

over a cliff after secret meeting."

I think you're exaggerating.

Don't underestimate the press,

over less they've changed political careers.

This is Peter Hollister's Chappaquiddick!

And an end to Sumner's

obsessive aspiration to the White House.

This, my friend, is a job well done.

And you want me to do this?

You're going to remain unavailable.

We'll have to keep you out of reach.

I'll talk to Ben Gibson.

Will this put an end to your hare-brained plans for me?

Well...

All's well that ends well.

[instrumental music]

Now, if anything happens to me that's the least bit suspicious,

I want you to open this envelope.

Don't you think you're being a bit melodramatic?

[chuckling] I know what I'm doing.

Well, if that's what you want.

Yes. Well, thank you very much.

Yes. Well...

You can rest assured, you're in safe hands.

-Thank you. Goodbye. -Goodbye.

[instrumental music]

-Karen! Hi. -Hi, Lilimae.

I have to talk to Val. Oh, Val.

Oh, uh, am I interrupting you?

Oh, Val was just...

It's just that I'm trying to, um...

[sighs] No. It's okay. Come on.

-Come on in. -Well...

-I-I could come back. -No, no. It's okay.

It's just that it's the first moment of peace and quiet

I've had all day and I've got to get this draft off.

Now, go on. Just sit.

Karen, would you like tea or coffee?

Oh, no, thanks, Lilimae.

So, what's up?

I'm upset with myself.

Why?

What did you do wrong?

Well, I didn't do anything. It's...

It's Paige.

Oh? What did she do?

Nothing...

Well, she does everything.

[Karen] She always offers to help out all the time.

And she and Michael hit it off like brother and sister.

She-she just bought the family this great gift.

-A VCR. -[Lilimae gasping] My...

I hate myself for feeling this way.

Do you get a strange vibration from her?

I don't know what...

I mean, it's not woman's intuition or anything.

It's just that I feel... uncomfortable.

You're just a little bit jealous, that's all.

No.

No, I-I don't think I'm jealous.

She just tries so hard.

Too hard.

I don't think I trust her.

[Lilimae] You don't either.

Mama feels exactly the same way.

Now, I know you don't trust my premonitions,

but I was right about Karen and all that fire,

and I know I'm right about that girl.

What is with you two?

She is young, and she's just overcompensating.

She's insecure. You gotta give her a chance.

Uh-huh.

You told me yourself that she hasn't

had an easy life, right?

-She hasn't had an easy life. -[Val] Uh-huh.

[Karen] I'm off base, right?

Yeah, I think you're off base.

I would keep both my eyes on her.

-I'll check in on the twins. -Okay.

Night, Karen.

Night, Lilimae.

[Val sighing]

[machine beeping]

[indistinct announcement over PA]

She's stable, and she's doing as well as can be expected.

-Hello, Ben. -[Ben] Peter.

I'd like to see Jill Bennett, please.

Are you next to kin?

No.

Well, can you tell me how she is?

I'm sorry.

You'll have to speak to her doctor,

and I'm afraid he's not here right now.

So now you're here to see Jill.

I used to date Jill Bennett.

I care about what happens to her.

You want to make something about that, go ahead.

The other afternoon at your mother's apartment...

What's been going on between you and Jill?

[sighing]

My relationship with Jill is between the two of us.

No, she's in there dying,

now it's between the three of us.

[dramatic music plays]

[music continues]

[indistinct chatttering]

Yo, Ben.

-You got a minute? -Absolutely.

Now, why is it that a man of your wealth

doesn't have a chauffeur?

Well, I like to keep in touch with the common man.

You saw Peter Hollister at the hospital last night.

I did.

Nothing wrong with visiting a sick friend.

No.

I just didn't want to see a casual

visit to the hospital turn

into the headline of the week.

You're not going to ask me

not to report the news, are you?

Is it news?

Time will tell.

Ben, I never thought of you as a gossip monger.

You're classier, more of a hard news guy.

Well, I think you'll be glad to hear

that the old integrity is still intact.

I'm glad.

I would have made a fool of myself if

I had offered you and Val...

a free trip to Hawaii in my private jet.

With a governess for the twins?

The deluxe treatment.

But now it's not necessary.

Other people I might try to buy out, but not you.

I feel confident that you wouldn't report anything

without the proper corroboration.

You're an ethical guy.

How do you manage to make that sound like an insult?

It's my style.

No matter how hard I try,

I just can't seem to project sincerity.

[laughing] I know.

Thank you for all your help.

Oh, any time. What's a friend for?

You know how to drive.

Now, it's just a matter of practice.

Your car drives great.

Karen got it for me.

It's from Knot's Landing Motors.

It was so nice of her and Mack to invite me

to stay there with them.

Oh, Aunt Karen did the same for me.

-You stayed there? -Uh-huh.

Why?

Well, it's a long story,

but my mom and I had a little trouble at that time.

But what made it even tougher was that

they both do not get along.

-Karen and your mom? -Uh-uh.

Well, we're both lucky to have your aunt Karen as a friend.

Yeah. [chuckling]

Do you play?

Well, I hated to practice.

Oh, I love piano music.

It's so romantic.

[piano music playing]

Oh, I wish I could play like this.

It's just a matter of practice.

[continues playing piano]

I was wondering where all this pretty music was coming from.

-Hi. -Hi, Mrs. Ewing.

Don't stop. It's lovely.

All right.

How about some lunch for you girls?

And then afterwards, Olivia,

I'd like you to go to the hospital with me to see Gary.

No, thanks.

[Abby] Aren't you hungry?

It's not the lunch.

I don't want to go to the hospital.

Well, honey, Gary's been there for quite a while,

and I thought we could bring him some fresh clothes

and see how he's doing.

[scoffing]

You're using me.

Olivia, don't make more out of this than--

Than what? You don't think I see what you're doing?

What am I doing?

Oh, poor Olivia needs her stepfather at home.

I am not going to be used to make Gary feel guilty.

If you want to go to the hospital, go by yourself.

Olivia, is everything all right?

Uh, yes.

Well, is there anything I can do?

No, thank you.

You know, honey, you could do me a favor.

Would you mind putting this away for me for safe keepings?

If, uh, anything strange should happen to me,

please give this to your stepfather.

Strange?

Well, I'm sure it won't be necessary,

but if it is,

I'd appreciate your help.

And, uh, let's just keep this between us, okay?

It'll be our little secret.

-Okay. -Thank you.

-[Mack] Karen, what's wrong? -[Karen] Nothing.

May I tell you about our specials today?

-Yes. -In a minute.

That'll be fine.

Flown in from New Zealand this morning,

we have wonderful plump mussels.

The chef has scrubbed and steamed them in white wine,

seasoned with herbs from our own garden.

The mussels are served with linguine in a light,

thin sauce made from sun-dried tomatoes.

The preeminent spice is basil.

From your own garden?

Madame has the nose.

The chef is especially pleased

with the swordfish caught during the night

just west of the Channel Islands where the best fish swim.

[Mack] Fine. That'll be fine.

We are also proud of the Cajun blackened fish.

-The zest, the-- -No, that's it. That's it.

I'll have the fish, and my wife

will have the mussels with the sauce

and give us a couple of salads, and that'll be fine.

Thank you.

Um, that's fine for me. Thanks.

You don't like fish.

I don't like not knowing what's bothering you.

There's nothing bothering me.

Karen, when you're this bad at covering it up,

it usually means that you want to tell me something.

I just, I-I woke up a little grouchy this morning.

Oh, you think you should tell me?

-There's nothing to tell. -Fine.

Fine.

-It's complicated. -Well, look...

It's got to be one or the other.

It can't be nothing and it can't be complicated.

-What's it going to be? -It's not that simple.

It's simple if you want it to be simple.

It's not... that simple.

Oh...

It's Paige, isn't it? Yeah, I knew it.

You know, she's been helping out at the house.

Mack, let's... let's just drop it, okay?

Fine. Fine.

You know, maybe she isn't good at housework,

but when you think about the way she's been raised,

you know, you got to give her credit for trying.

Karen, I know it's tough on you. It's tough on all of us.

-It's tough on-- -Paige is sleeping with Michael.

Whoa.

[Gary sighing]

-How is she? -About the same.

-How about you? -Holding up.

I, uh, brought you some clean clothes.

And I brought your shaving kit, too.

Thanks.

Would you like to have a little lunch?

I'm not hungry.

Well, I could run down to the cafeteria and get you something.

Thanks.

Olivia wanted to come.

I'll talk to her as soon as this is over.

Gary, is it true that Jill...

tried to commit suicide?

Well, that's what they said on the news,

that it was a possible suicide.

[sighing] She wouldn't do that.

But she's been unable to talk, so...

[sighing] Well, I'd just really like to keep this from turning into a scandal.

There's not gonna be a scandal.

Well, when Peter Hollister's name

gets involved, I'm afraid there will be.

What's he got to do with this?

Look, Gary, I know you're upset,

so before you jump to any conclusions--

-Conclusions about what? -That's just the point.

Now, before we know what his involvement is,

before we know anything else, why don't we all agree

to keep this out of the newspapers?

Look, I've got nothing to hide.

If Hollister does, that's his problem.

All I know is Jill is in there, maybe dying,

and I love her very much.

Code blue, ICU stat. Code blue, ICU stat.

What's going on? What's happening?

I'm afraid there's been a complication.

You'll have to wait outside.

-Uh... -Please.

Please, there's so much to do.

-Mr. Gibson! -Yes?

Thanks for coming to meet me here.

I watch your station all the time.

-You've got the best cable news. -Thank you very much.

Did you want to see me personally to say that?

Uh, not exactly.

You see, on your program, you said you wanted anyone

with information about what happened to that poor lady

from the governor's office fell down the canyon to call in.

-Yeah, you did. -Yeah.

Oh, I was helping out brush clearance.

That's when I saw Jill Bennett, and she wasn't alone.

She was with Peter Hollister.

Mr. Hollister was with her?

Yeah, the new senator.

He was with her when she fell.

Nothing wrong with my eyesight.

[indistinct chatter]

[woman 4] OR has been notified, doctor.

[man 5] She's hemorrhaging, I had to tube her.

I didn't know she was pregnant.

[indistinct chatter]

[man 5] If we don't hurry, we're going to lose both her and the baby.
