It is late at night. Carolyn comes downstairs into the foyer and
hears someone playing the piano in the drawing room. She goes into
the drawing room and finds that it's her mother. She asks her what's
wrong. Elizabeth replies, "I don't know. I must be losing my mine. I
have the feeling of impending doom..." The clock strikes 11:15.
Elizabeth calls Bill Malloy at his house, but there's no answer.
Carolyln asks, "Why did you call Mr. Malloy? Does this have anything to
do with your feeling of dread?" Elizabeth asks, "Why do you say that?"
Carolyn replies, "Because he seemed very upset when he left here today."
She asks, "Does it have anything to do with Roger? He was acting very
strangely tonight. We got into a terrible argument over something very
silly. A pen. Later, he rambled on about doing anything necessary to
protect himself and his family. He also made a very strange remark. He
said, 'I will not be a sacrificial lamb!'"
Roger, Sam and Burke are still waiting in Roger's office. The clock
shows 11:30. They call Bill Malloy's house, but there is no answer.
Burke tells Roger and Sam that he's going to go to Malloy's house to
get him, warning them, "You two had better still be here when I get
back!"
At Collinwood, Elizabeth continues to feel a sense of dread and
asks, "Where could Roger be?"
At Roger's office, Sam tells Roger he wants to leave, but Roger tells
him, "No. You're going to stay. We've got to show Burke Devlin we're
not afraid of him." He asks, "Should Burke bring Malloy back, you are
to say nothing, understand? If we stand together, there's no way they
can do anything to us." Burke returns without Bill Malloy. He tells them
he went to his house and banged on the door but received no answer. He
insists that they continue to wait.
It is 5 minutes to midnight. They are still waiting. Both Roger and
Sam tell Burke they have waited long enough and are going to leave.
Burke protests, insisting they stay and wait a little longer, but they
refuse and start to leave. As Roger is leaving, he turns to Burke and
says, "Oh yes, Burke. One more thing. You gave a gift to Carolyn. A
pen. She can't keep it. There are some people we don't take gifts from."
He reaches in his pocket for it, but finds that it isn't there. He tells
Burke, "Oh. I thought I had it. Must have left it at home. Don't worry.
I return it to you the next time I see you." and leaves.
At Collinwood, Carolyn has managed to cheer Elizabeth up. They are
laughing as Carolyn recounts something funny that happened when she was
a child and had some friends over. Elizabeth tells Carolyn to go to
bed. She tells Carolyn she'll stay and wait for Roger to come home.
Carolyn goes up to bed. The clock strikes midnight.
Roger returns, whistling happily. Elizabeth remarks, "You look happy.
Where have you been?" Roger replies that he's been at a business
meeting. Elizabeth tells him, "Bill Malloy was here earlier today.
He said some pretty ugly things about you. He said he had proof that
you were really resposible for that accident 10 years ago but put
Burke in jail for it. Is that true?" Roger tells her that it isn't,
that everything he said on the stand was true, that Burke was guilty.

It is the next morning. David is frantically searching through the
drawings on his desk for something. Vicky knocks and comes in. He sees
the drawing of Collinwood he made in Vicky's hands, grabs it and asks
her what she's doing with it, saying "I've been looking all over for
this!" She tells him she was so excited about it when she saw it, she
had to borrow it. She tells him it's really good and tells him she wants
to show it to a real artist. She gets him to start his history lesson.
While he is working, she remarks, "You really are proud of that drawing,
aren't you? Your father was pretty impressed with it when I showed it
to him, too." David angrily shouts, "YOU SHOWED IT TO MY FATHER?!".
He grabs the drawing and tears it up. Elizabeth comes in carrying a
box. She tells David that it's just arrived and is addressed to him.
David opens it. Inside is a crystal ball. David reads the note and
announces that it's a gift from Burke Devlin. Elizabeth remarks,
"Strange present..."
David goes downstairs to the foyer, telephones Burke and thanks
him for the present. He tells him, "I made a drawing of Collinwood for
you, but something got happened to it. It got torn. I'll make you
another one." There's a knock at the door. It's Joe. He tells David
he has some papers for Elizabeth to sign. Elizabeth comes downstairs.
Joe tells him he has some contracts for her to sign, saying they
have to be in the mail today. They go into the drawing room to conduct
business. Elizabeth asks Joe, "You usually don't do this. Why didn't
Bill Malloy bring them over like he usually does?" Joe replies, "He
didn't come in this morning. No one knows where he is. His housekeeper
Mrs. Johnson says he isn't at home and says she hasn't seen him since
about 10:30 last night." Vicky comes into the drawing room and asks,
"Where's David?" Elizabeth replies, "I sent him upstairs." Vicky replies,
"Well, he didn't go there." Joe and Elizabeth continue to discuss
Malloy's absence. Vicky tells them, "I saw Bill Malloy here last night
at about 10:00. He spoke to Roger." Elizabeth tells Joe she'd like to
talk to Vicky alone. Joe goes outside. Vicky tells Elizabeth, "Bill
Malloy mentioned something about some meeting. Roger seemed to know
what he was talking about and got very angry."
Joe is outside in the foyer. David comes down holding his crystal
ball. Joe jokes, "Could you find out where Bill Malloy is with that
thing?" David, angry that Joe is joking about his crystal ball, yells
that the crystal ball isn't a fake. He tells him, "You're never going
to marry Carolyn! The crystal ball told me! She's going to marry a good
friend of mine. Burke Devlin!" Elizabeth, having finished talking with
Vicky, comes out of the drawing room and tells Joe to come in with
the contracts. Vicky and David go upstair to continue his lessons.
Elizabeth signs the contracts and Joe leaves. Elizabeth telephones
Roger at his office and tells him, "I'd like to see you at once! You
told me you last saw Bill Malloy yesterday afternoon, but I've just
learned you saw him at about 10:00 last night! I'd like an explaination,
and I'd like it in person! No, we can't discuss this on the phone!"
Upstairs, Vicky is trying to get David to do his lessons, but David
is preoccupied with his crystal ball. Finally, she manages to tear him
away from it and gets him to start doing his arithmetic. While he is
working, he remarks, "Everyone is wondering where Mr. Malloy is, aren't
they? If they would ask me, I could tell them." Vicky jokes, "You
mean you could look into your crystal ball and find out?" David replies,
"I already looked. He's DEAD! Someone killed him, and I know who."
Vicky asks, "Who?" David replies, "My father!"

Maggie Evans is talking to her father Sam from the telephone booth
in the diner. Sam asks Maggie if she's seen Bill Malloy. Maggie tells
him she hasn't. She exits the telephone booth and finds that Burke
Devlin has come into the diner. He orders a breakfast of orange juice,
scrambled eggs and coffee. He asks, "Seen Bill Malloy?" Maggie replies,
"What is it with Bill Malloy? You're the third person who's asked about
him this morninng!" Burke asks who the other two were. Maggie tells him
Carolyn and her father Sam had also asked about Malloy. Joe Haskell
comes in and orders a donut and a cup of black coffee. He too asks
Maggie if she's seen Bill Malloy. Maggie remarks, "You too? Everyone
seems to be looking for Bill this morning." Joe asks, "Who else has
been looking for him?" Burke comes up to the counter and says, "I have."
He asks Joe why he's looking for Malloy. He asks if Roger told him to
do it. Carolyn comes in and Burke leaves.
At the Evan's cottage, Sam is pouring himself a cup of coffee. Burke
comes. He asks Sam, "What happened to Bill Malloy?" Sam replies, "How
should I know? I'm as troubled about his disappearance as you are."
Burke retorts, "Troubled or relieved? His disappearance took you off
the hook, didn't it?" Sam asks, "If he really knew something, why didn't
he show up?" Burke muses, "Maybe someone stopped him." Sam says, "Or
maybe he realized he had been wrong."
At the diner, Joe, Carolyn and Maggie aree talking about Bill
Malloy's disappearance. Joe and Carolyn start to argue about her having
had lunch with Burke Devlin in Bangor. Maggie suddenly asks Carolyn,
"You had lunch with Burke Devlin? Did he say anything about my father?"
and leaves.
Sam pours himself a drink. Burke remarks, "That won't help. That
won't help at all." He continues to press Sam about what he knows about
Bill Malloy's disappearance, saying "You and Roger Collins are the only
one who would benefit." Sam blurts out, "I'm just as worried about Bill
as you are. He was one of Collinsport's finest citizens!" Burke asks,
"WAS? What do you mean WAS? You know something happened to him, don't
you?" Burke is VERY suspicious, but before he can continue questioning
Sam, Maggie comes in. Burke leaves.
Carolyn and Joe return to Collinwood. They make up and kiss. There's
a knock at the door. Carolyn answers. It's Burke. He tells her, "I want
to see your uncle!" Carolyn goes upstairs to get him, but doesn't find
him and comes back down and tells Burke he isn't home. She tells him to
try the office, but he tells her he already did and they told him he
wasn't there. Carolyn asks, "Is this about Bill Malloy?" Burke replies
that it is. Carolyn asks, "Do you know where he is?" Burke replies
cryptically, "No, but I know how he got there."
Maggie tells Sam that in addition to him, Burke Devlin was also
looking for Bill Malloy, and thought Roger might be too. She asks him
how he's tied up in all this, but he refuses to tell her. Unable to get
anything, she remarks exasperatedly, "Oh, where are we all headed, Pop?"
and leaves. Sam angrily grabs a tube of paint and hurls it at a sketch
of Burke, leaving a streak of paint over it and exclaims, "Death, Maggie.
That's where we're all headed..."

It is night. Vicky decides to take a walk to get some fresh air. She
is surprised to find Carolyn at Widow's Hill. Carolyn tells her she came
here to think. They talk. Carolyn tells Vicky, "Mother's very upset
about Bill Malloy's disappearance. She's known him for over 25 years,
not only as a business associate, but as a friend..."
At Collinwood, David comes downstairs and tells Elizabeth that there
are ghosts in his room, but she tells him she's busy and tells him not
to bother her now. He exclaims, "NOBODY CARES ABOUT ME!" and runs
upstairs. Carolyn and Vicky return. Elizabeth changes her mind, says
"I'd better go see David." and goes upstairs.
Elizabeth comes back downstairs. Asked what was wrong with David, she
replies, "Oh, nothing. He just wanted a little attention, that's all."
She paces around, obviously worried, then calls the office but gets no
answer. Carolyn tries to get her mind off Bill Malloy and says, "Mother.
Vicky and I were talking about ghosts. Why don't we tell her about the
legend about the three ghosts?" Elizabeth gets very upset and tells her
she doesn't want to talk about that. Carolyn, upset that she has
unintentionally upset her mother even more, says, "This just isn't my
night, is it?" and leaves. Elizabeth calms down and tells Vicky, "I
shouldn't have gotten upset." She explains, "Two people have leapt to
their deaths from Widow's hill. The legend states that a third will
join them. I got upset because that's not the sort of thing I want to
think about tonight." Roger comes in through the front door. Vicky
says "Goodnight" and goes upstairs. Elizabeth tells Roger she wants to
talk to him, but he leaves to go the the kitchen, saying he hasn't had
dinner yet and is going to get a sandwich. Elizabeth goes into the
drawing room, sits down and waits.
Vicky goes into her room. She is shocked to find the word "DEATH"
written on her mirror in capital letters. She gets David, drags him to
her room, shows him the mirror and asks, "Why did you do that?" David
denies that he did. Carolyn, hearing the noise, comes in and asks,
"What's going on in here?" David again denies that he wrote on the
mirror, saying, "The Widows did it." Vicky remarks, "Well, they must
have the same handwriting as you. How do you expain that?" She tells
him, "Wipe it off or I'll tell your Aunt Elizabeth." He does and runs
off. Carolyn asks Vicky, "Have you seen my watch? I've lost it. The
strap must've broken. I've got to go look for it." Vicky asks, "Why
not wait till morning?" Carolyn explains, "Because if I lost it outside,
the night sea are will ruin it." She asks, "Could you come with me?"
In the drawing room, Roger is ravenously eating a cold chicken
sandwich, washing it down with a glass of milk. Elizabeth tells him,
"I thought I told you I wanted to talk to you. Where have you been?"
He replies, "I've been looking for Bill Malloy. I went to his cousin's
house, but he wasn't there either and they said they haven't heard from
him in days." Elizabeth asks, "Why didn't you call me and tell me?"
He replies, "I must've forgotten." She asks, "And did you forget Bill
Malloy came here to see you last night? You told me you last saw him
in the afternoon yesterday. What did you talk about?" Roger asks,
"How did you find out?" Elizabeth replies that Vicky saw them and told
her. Roger asks, "And did she hear what we were talking about?"
Elizabeth replies, "Only something about a meeting, that's all." Roger
lies, "Yes. It was about a meeting. You probably know that Bill Malloy
and I have been having some differences lately about how the business
should be run. He wanted me to meet him at the office to go over the
books." Carolyn comes into the room and tells them she's going out to
look for her watch.
Vicky and Carolyn leave. Elizabeth, going upstairs, finds David
spying from behing the railing on the landing. He asks, "Where's Miss
Winters going at this time of night?" Elizabeth replies, "She going to
help Carolyn find her watch." David remarks, "That's not what she's
going to find. She's going to find death!"
Vicky and Carolyn are at Widow's Hill. Vicky is screaming. The
camera pans to the base of Widow's Hill and shows why she is screaming.
Down in the shallow water at the base of the cliff is a dead body,
slowly moving to and fro with the waves....

Elizabeth tells Roger she's worried about Bill Malloy. Roger tells
her not to, saying "He probable has a valid reason for being away."
Carolyn and Vicky come running into the room. Carolyn tells them about
the body they saw. Roger asks if they saw who it was. Carolyn tells
him, "You didn't think we climbed down to take a good look, do you?"
Elizabeth asks Roger to go and look. Roger refuses, saying "Why don't
you call Matthew? Isn't that what he's here for?" Elizabeth calls
Matthew Morgan. She tells Vicky and Carolyn it was probably just a
rock, but Vicky protests, "But it was moving with the waves!" Roger
says, "Then maybe it was a clump of seaweed." Vicky theorizes, "Maybe
it was one of David's tricks."
Matthew Morgan goes to Widow's Hill, looks down, then starts to
climb down the cliff.
In the drawing room at Collinwood, Vicky and Carolyn continue to
talk about the dead man they thought they saw. Roger remarks, "Are you
sure it wasn't a woman? Two women have already died there. The first,
a young bride who either fell or was pushed, the second a governess.
The legend states that there's going to be a third woman." Carolyn tells
Vicky she's going to have trouble sleeping tonight and asks Vicky if
she can sleep with her. Vicky replies, "Sure." They go for some cocoa
before going to bed. Roger and Elizabeth talk about what Carolyn and
Vicky thought they saw. There's a knock at the door. It's Matthew.
He tells them he investigated and found nothing. Carolyn and Vicky are
shocked. Carolyn asks, "Are you positive?!" Matthew replies that he
is. After Matthew leaves, Elizabeth tells Roger she'd like to speak to
him alone.
In the drawing room, Elizabeth tells Roger she thinks Matthew was
acting strangely and wants to question him further. She leaves.
Roger telephones Sam Evans and asks him, "Any word from Bill Malloy?"
Evans replies, "No."
Elizabeth goes to Matthew's cottage. She questions him about what
he saw and finds that he was shaken because he saw something that he
at first thought WAS a body, that he was afraid it was Bill Malloy,
that he had expected to find Bill Malloy down there, that he was
afraid that something had happened to him because it's so against his
nature to just leave without telling anyone. She asks him, "Why don't
you show me what you did find so I can put Carolyn's mind at ease?"
Vicky and Carolyn decide to go to Widow's Hill again to have another
look. Afraid to go alone, they try to convince Roger to come with them.
Matthew and Elizabeth are at Widow's Hill. Elizabeth looks over and
gasps, but then looks again and lets out a sigh of relief. Matthew
asks, "See what I mean? It does look like a body at first, doesn't
it?"
Vicky and Carolyn are still trying to get Roger to come with them.
Elizabeth comes in, hears them and announces, "There's no need for
you to go. I just went to take a look with Matthew. Roger was right.
It was just a clump of seaweed." Roger remarks to Vicky, "Better not
tell David about any of this." Vicky replies, "Yes. He already has
death on his mind too much." She tells them of David claiming to have
seen in his crystal ball that Bill Malloy was dead, that Roger had
killed him...

In Vicky's room, Vicky and Carolyn prepare for bed. Carolyn thinks
she hears a noise.
At the Evan's cottage, Maggie comes into the living room and asks
Sam what he's doing awake at 1:00 in the morning. Sam replies, "I have
too much on my mind. I'm worried about Bill Malloy. There are evil
forces at work at Collinwood." He tells her he's not worried about
herself, though, because he has a safeguard - the letter he gave her.
He asks her, "You did put it in a safe place, didn't you?" Maggie
replies, "Yes, the safest. It's in the safe at the Inn."
Carolyn tells Vicky, "I heard it again! I think it's coming from the
drawing room." A few seconds later, both she and Vicky hear the sound.
Vicky tells her, "It's probably just David."but when she goes and looks
in his room, she finds that he is sound asleep.
At the Evan's Cottage, Maggie tries to convince Sam to go to bed, but
he convinces her to go to bed instead. Sam then makes a call to
Collinwood.
At Collinwood, Vicky and Carolyn are awakened by the phone ringing.
Vicky goes to answer it. Carolyn decides to go with her.
Carolyn picks up the phone in the foyer. Sam whispers, "Collins?",
but when Vicky asks, "Who is it?" Sam hangs up. Vicky and Carolyn hear
the banging sound coming from the drawing room. They find the window
open and a book lying open on the floor. Vicky picks up the book and
drops it from about waist height. It makes a sound just like the one
they heard. At first they conclude that it must've been the book falling
off the table, blown off by the wind from the open window, that caused
the sound, but then realize that the book, which is a large and heavy
one, was some distance from the table, too far to have been blown there
by the wind. They try to think of a logical reason but are unable to.
Carolyn concludes, "Maybe it was ghosts!" Frightened, they leave to go
to Vicky's room and lock the door. After they leave, the book, which
they have left on a table, opens by itself to a page on which is a
drawing of a woman with the caption, "Josette Collins, Born 1810,
Died 1834."*
Maggie, having heard Sam place the call, comes out and asks, "Why
did you telephone Roger Collins?" He lies to her, "I wanted to talk
to him about Burke Devlin's portrait. He's been trying to try to
convince me to stop." Maggie asks why Roger would want him to stop the
portrait. Sam replies, "Because he knows a portrait would take time
and doesn't Burke to stay in Collinsport that long." Maggie, not
believing him, tells him, "Pop, you're a terrible liar." Sam admits,
"Yes, I am," but refuses to tell her the truth.
Now back safely in Vicky's room, Carolyn asks, "Who called?"
Vicky tells her, "I don't know. He just whispered 'Collins'? then
hung up." They wonder if it might have been Bill Malloy, and why he
would've just said "Collins?" and hung up if it was. Vicky theorizes,
"You know, this strikes me as something someone who was drunk might
do, you know, call someone, forget what he called about and hang up?"
At the Evans Cottage, Sam tells Maggie, "I'd like to tell you, but
I can't". Maggie asks Sam, "You won't tell me what this is all about,
but you did write it in that letter, didn't you?" Sam admits that he
did. Maggie tells him, "Well, I'll just have to go and read what that
letter says." Sam grabs her and shouts, "NO! SWEAR YOU WON'T DO THAT!".
She swears she won't.
*This is very different from what is eventually shown, where she
dies in 1796.

It is the next morning. Vicky is in the kitchen with David giving
him his breakfast. David asks, "What happened last night? I heard you
screaming and looked out the window and saw you and Carolyn
running toward the house." Vicky lies that nothing happened and
refuses to answer him when he asks, "Then why did you scream?", telling
him, "Why don't you look in your crystal ball?" He tells her, "I
already have. It told me that someone in Collinsport is going to
kill you. You know, Miss Winters, when you die, I'm not even going to
attend your funeral!" Vickly asks him why he doesn't like her. He
tells her it's because she's come to replace his mother. Vicky
assures him that she hasn't, that she's only come to tutor him.
Elizabeth comes into the kitchen and asks Vicky if she's seen Matthew
this morning. Vicky replies that she's hasn't and asks, "Do you want
me to call him?" Elizabeth replies, "No. I'll walk down to his cottage
and get him myself." David asks Elizabeth what happened last night.
Elizabeth lies, "Nothing." and leaves for Matthew's cottage.
There's a knock at the door. Vicky asks David to go answer it.
It's Joe Haskell. David tells him Carolyn is still asleep. He asks,
"How about Mrs. Stoddard?" David tells him she's not home but will
be back in a few minutes. Joe tells him he'll wait. Vicky comes into
the room and tells Joe she'd like to talk to him. They go into the
drawing room. Outside, David eavesdrops. Vicky tells Joe about what
happened last night, about finding what looked like a body, about
Matthew Morgan investigating and finding it was only a clump of
seaweed. Joe asks what they were doing out there that time of night.
Vicky tells him they were looking for Carolyn's watch. Elizabeth comes
in through the front doors and catches David eavesdropping and sends
him upstairs. Elizabeth asks to talk to Joe. Vicky leaves. Elizabeth
asks Joe if there's any word on Bill Malloy yet. Joe replies that he
still hasn't shown up. Elizabeth calls the office to talk to Roger,
but finds he hasn't come in yet either. Joe leaves. Elizabeth calls
the sheriff and tells him, "I'm worried about Bill Malloy..."
Vicky is giving David his geography lesson. David asks Vicky, "Who
was that body last night?" Vicky exclaims, "Hey! You were eavesdropping
on me and Joe! Well, if you had been listening carefully, you would've
heard it was a clump of seaweed."
Elizabeth asks the sheriff to check the hospitals for Bill Malloy.
There's a knock at the door. It's Joe. He hands her Carolyn's watch,
saying he found it less than 100 feet from the house. After Joe leaves,
Elizabeth calls the office again but finds that Roger still isn't in
yet.
Vicky tries to get David to concentrate on his lessons, but David
keeps dwelling on the "dead man". Vicky exasperatedly tells him, "I
told you, there was no dead body!", but David continues to speculate,
"I bet it was Bill Malloy!"
Matthew comes to Collinwood and to Elizabeth. He tells her, "I saw
that note you left for me, ma'am." Elizabeth asks him where he's been.
Matthew replies, "Mr. Collins wanted me to walk all around the
property with him to make sure the ladies didn't see what they thought
they saw." Elizabeth asks, "Did you find anything?" He replies that
they didn't.
Vicky tries to convince David that there was no body, but David
tells her that he's already seen in his crystal ball that it's Bill
Malloy and that his father killed him, that he saw Bill Malloy standing
there and his father coming up and pushing him off the cliff.
Elizabeth, still thinking Matthew is acting strangely, continues to
press him on what he saw. She tells him, "I noticed you chose your
words very carefully last night. You said, 'I walke from one end of the
property to the other. On my way back, I saw nothing at Widow's Hill.'
Does that mean you saw something the first time you passed?"
Matthew, who apparently will twist the truth to Elizabeth but not lie
to her, admits that he did indeed find a body but pushed it back out
to sea. Elizabeth asks him if he recognized who it was. Matthew replies,
"Yes. It was Bill Malloy." Elizabeth asks him why he lied. Matthew
replies, "I thought it would be best that way..." Elizabeth telephones
the sheriff and tells him, "There's no need to continue searching for
Bill Malloy. I know where he is."

Roger returns to Collinwood and finds Elizabeth and Sheriff
Patterson in the foyer. Elizabeth tells him that Bill Malloy is
dead. The Sheriff tells them he'd like to ask them a few questions.
Elizabeth tells Roger about Matthew's admission.
Sam goes to the diner. Maggie asks him, "What are you doing here?
Don't you have a sitting with Burke Devlin?" Sam explains that Burke
and cancelled this morning's sitting. He asks, "Any word about Bill
Malloy?" Maggie replies, "No. That's what everyone's been asking."
The sheriff mentions that when Bill Malloy's body is found, they'll
have an autopsy to tell what happened to him. Roger asks, "Why? Isn't
it obvious that he drowned? If a man fell off a twelve story building,
would you have an autopsy to determine how he died?" The sheriff
replies, "Yes. Maybe he was shot before falling off the building..."
At the diner, Sam asks Maggie about the letter he gave her. He tells
her he's changed his mind about it. He tells her that it's good enough
for the person he's told about the letter thinks it exists. He asks
her to go to the clerk and get it from the hotel safe and give it back
to him. She once again asks him what's this all about. He again refuses
to tell her. She refuses to get the letter for him.
The sheriff questions Roger. He asks him when he last saw Bill
Malloy. Roger replies, "10:00 on the night he died." Patterson asks,
"Did he seem normal to you?" Roger replies that he did. The sheriff
remarks, "Then you're the last person to have see Bill Malloy alive."
Elizabeth interrupts, "No. His housekeeper saw him at 10:30 that
evening. She said he received a telephone call then." The sheriff
asks, "Do you know who from?" Elizabeth replies,"No." Roger explains,
"I was supposed to meet Malloy in my office for a meeting at 11:00.
Bill never showed, so I left and went home." The sheriff asks, "Anyone
who can confirm this?" Roger replies, "Yes. Sam Evans and Burke Devlin
were there too. Malloy apparently told each of us to come to the
meeting, that he had something important to tell us, but none of us
knew what it was." Elizabeth tells the sheriff, "Bill might have looked
normal to Roger, but I saw him here earlier that day, and he was
clearly upset. He told me he had something important he had to come to
a decision about." The sheriff says, "Maybe he made that decision.
We can't rule out the possibility of suicide..."
Burke calls down to the diner to order food and coffee. He asks
Maggie if there's any word about Bill Malloy too. Maggie tells Sam,
"Burke must be busy. He ordered food to be sent up."
The sheriff asks if Bill Malloy had a drinking problem, saying it's
possible that he was drunk, slipped and fell of the cliff. Elizabeth
replies that he didn't. After the sheriff leaves, Elizabeth asks Roger,
"How much of what you told the sheriff was true?" She tells him she
doesn't trust him because he's already lied to her about the meeting,
that earlier, he had told her it was to be between him and Malloy
alone and that it was to be about some busines disagreement. She adds
that Malloy had earlier told her that he had information that could
clear Devlin, that that was what the meeting must have been about.
Roger tells her he lied to her because he didn't want to worry her.
He assures her that any information Malloy must have had must have
been wrong. She tells him, "I believe you. I have to..."
The sheriff comes into the diner and orders a cup of coffee and a
donut. He remarks to Sam, "Heard you were doing a portrait of Burke
Devlin." Sam asks, "How did you know?" The sheriff replies, "Word gets
around." The phone in the booth rings. Maggie answers. She tells the
sheriff, "Someone looking for you." The sheriff goes into the booth
and closes the door. Sam, apparently not wanting to talk to the
sheriff, tells Maggie, "I've got to leave." But before he can leave,
the sheriff comes out of the telephone booth and tells Maggie, "Sorry,
you'll have to cancel that donut and coffee. I've got to leave. The
coast guard's just found Bill Malloy's body. He's dead." and leaves.

It is noon. Carolyn finally wakes up and comes downstairs.
She finds Elizabeth in the drawing room and apoligizes for sleeping
so late. Elizabeth replies, "That's all right. You had quite a night
last night." Carolyn laughs and says, "And it turned out to be nothing
more that a clump of seaweed." Elizabeth tells her, "No. It really
was a dead body. It was...". But before she can break the news about
who it was to her, the phone rings and Carolyn answers. When she hangs
up, she tells Elizabeth, "That was the sheriff. He told me to tell you
they've found Bill Malloy's body. Is that who it was?" She is
heartbroken. She asks, "Why did Matthew say he didn't find anything?"
Elizabeth explains how Matthew had pushed the body back into the ocean
and lied about it, that he thought he was helping her by keeping
publicity about this away. Elizabeth calls Roger at the office, but
finds he isn't there.
Roger walks into the Blue Whale. Seeing Sam, he remarks, "I thought
I'd find you here." Sam tells Roger, "I've got something to tell you
about Bill Malloy..."
Carolyn goes to Vicky's room. Vicky is busy making her bed. Carolyn
starts crying. Vicky asks what's wrong. Carolyn tells her about Bill
Malloy.
At the Blue Whale, Roger, having been told about Bill Malloy by
Sam, calls the sheriff and confirms the story. Sam asks him, "You
didn't tell the sheriff about the meeting, did you?" Roger replies
that he did. Sam asks, "Are you crazy?" Roger explains, "I had to.
What if I had said nothing about it and the sheriff learned about it
from Burke Devlin? How would that look?"
Carolyn muses philosophically about how ephemeral life is, how
one day you're here, the next you're not, remarking, "I guess it
just goes to show you, you'd bette do what you want while you can.."
Elizabeth comes into the room. Vicky tells her that Carolyn's just
told her about Bill Malloy. Elizabeth asks Carolyn, "Could you do me
a favor? Could you go into town and find Roger? I think he should
be told about Bill Malloy." Vicky, taking Carolyn's words to heart,
decides to have dinner with the Evanses tonight.
Sam tells Roger, "We can't keep on with these lies. It's lie after
lie, a whole pyramid of lies." Roger replies that they've got to, that
it would mean prison for both of them otherwise. He tells Sam,"You've
got to tell the sheriff what I've told him, that you had no idea what
the meeting was to be about." Sam asks, "What will we do when Burke
tells him it was to clear him?" Roger replies, "We'll say he's lying
to make trouble for me. It's his word against ours."
Vicky asks Carolyn for a lift into town. She asks, "Do you know
anything about Sam Evans?", telling her that she's been invited by
his daughter Maggie to have dinner at their house. She tells her
that Roger became quite upset when he learned about this. She asks,
"Why? Does Sam Evans know something about my past Roger doesn't
want me to know?" Carolyn replies, "All I know about Sam Evans is that
he's an artist who drinks too much."
Roger returns and runs into Elizabeth in the foyer. She asks him,
"Have you heard about Bill Malloy?" He replies, "Yes." Vicky and
Carolyn come out of the drawing room. Roger asks Elizabeth, "Don't
you think it would be a good idea to close the plant for the rest of
the day?" Elizabeth agrees it would be a good idea and goes into the
drawing room to call the plant. Carolyn sees Roger and remarks,
"Well, I guess I won't need to go into town." She gives her car keys
to Vicky and tells her, "Here. You can borrow my car." Vicky takes
them and leaves the room. Roger asks, "Where's she going?" Carolyn
replies, "To have dinner with Sam and Maggie Evans. Why? Do you care?"
Roger replies, "Of course not. I hardly know the man."

At the Inn, Burke Devlin finally comes out of his room and comes
down to the diner for a cup of coffee. Maggie remarks, "Been busy with
a lot of work, huh?" Burke replies, "Yes. It's better to keep busy than
to keep stewing about a missing man. You know, it was Bill Malloy who
gave me my first job. When he gets back, I'm going to buy him the
biggest, best meal he's ever had!" Maggie tells him the bad news,
that Malloy's dead, that his body's been found in the ocean. Burke
phones the sheriff's office to find out the details, but no one who
knows anything is in. After talking to Maggie a little more, he leaves
to phone the sheriff again. Vicky comes into the diner. Burke returns
and says the sheriff still isn't in yet. He says hello to Vicky and
leaves.
Burke goes to the sheriff's office. The sheriff is now in, talking
on the phone to the coroner, who tells him the autopsy is finished and
gives him the results. The sheriff asks Burke, "When did you last
see Malloy?" Burke replies, "Between 8 and 9 at the Blue Whale the
night he died." The sheriff asks, "What did you do after that?" Burke
replies, "Stayed at the Blue Whale and had a couple of drinks." Burke
tells him, "Bill had arranged a meeting for 11:00." He tells him it was
to clear him of the manslaughter charge from 10 years ago, that he,
Malloy, Roger and Sam Evans were to be there.
Vicky has gone into town and is in the Collinsport Inn Diner.
She tells Maggie that Roger got very upset when she told him
about her dinner invitation. She tells Maggie that she suspects that
maybe Sam knows something about her past Roger doesn't want her to
find out. Maggie asks her, "About that invitation. How about tonight?"
Vicky laughs and says, "That's what I came here to ask you about. If
you hadn't asked me, I would've invited myself!" Maggie asks, "Well,
that's settled. How about some lunch. Clam chowder, lobster roll and
coffee sound good to you?"
The sheriff asks Burke what he was doing between 10:30 and 11:00.
Burke replies that he stayed at the Blue Whale until 10:45 then left
and drove to Roger's office. The sheriff asks, "Can anyone confirm
that?" Burke replies that the bartender can. The sheriff shows Burke
Malloy's old fashioned pocket watch and tells him it had broken and
stopped when he hit the rocks and established the time of death as
10:45. He muses, "Malloy always walked from his house to the office.
It was a half an hour walk. That means it was when he was about halfway
there..."
Vicky and Maggie finish lunch. Vicky insists on paying, but Maggie
tells her it's on the house, saying, "The clam chowder is two weeks
old, and the lobster roll's from last year. Just don't send me your
doctor bills!"
Burke returns to the diner. He asks Vicky, "How about taking that
raincheck and having dinner with me tonight?" Vicky replies,"Sorry,
I'm going to have dinner with Maggie and her father tonight." Burke
leaves. Vicky tells Maggie she's going to go home to change and
leaves too.

Sam is sitting at a table at the Blue Whale. Joe comes in, goes
to the bar and asks for a drink. Sam sees him and invites him to join
him at his table. They talk about Bill Malloy's death. Joe tells
Sam that the Collinses have closed the plant for the day. Sam remarks,
cryptically, "Soon there'll be more things than that closed..."
David is lying face down on the floor in the drawing room, holding a
pencil and working on a clutter of books and maps in front of him.
Carolyn comes into the room. David asks her, "Can you tell me the exact
spot you and Miss Winters saw Mr. Malloy? It was at the bottom of
Widow's Hill, wasn't it?" Carolyn gets upset and tells him to stop
asking such morbid questions, but David tells her, "I need to know."
He tells her he's working with some maps and tide charts and if he
knew where and when Malloy's body was found, he would be able to
calculate where he fell in.
At the Blue Whale, Sam asks Joe if it would be possible for the
police to determine where Bill Malloy fell into the sea. Joe tells him
that they can, that using tide charts, they can work backwards to
determine two or three spots it must have been. He remarks, "I imagine
they're working on it right now." The sheriff comes in to talk to Sam.
Joe leaves.
At Collinwood, David comes in from outside and tells Carolyh, "I
think I've found the spot where you and Vicky saw Mr. Malloy's body."
Carolyn again gets angry with him for being morbid. There's a knock at
the door. It's Joe. He asks Carolyn out. David asks him to help him
with the tide charts. Carolyn gets upset and tells David not to bother
Joe with it. She goes upstairs to change.
At the Blue Whale, the sheriff tells Sam they can't talk here and
asks him to come to his office.
Carolyn comes back downstairs and is upset to find Joe in the drawing
room showing David how to read the tide charts. Joe tells David, "I'm
sorry I can't help you anymore. Maybe you can ask your father to help
you." David replies, "He'd get scared and tear it up!"
At the police station, the sheriff questions Sam. He asks him about
the meeting. Sam lies that he has not idea what it was to be about.
The sheriff tells him, "Burke claims that it was to clear him of that
manslaughter charge. Do you have any evidence that you didn't give at
the trial that would've cleared him?" Sam says he doesn't, and again
says he has no idea what the meeting was to be about. The sheriff asks,
"Then why did you show up for a meeting arranged for 11:00? That's
a rather strange time for a meeting, isn't it?" Sam replies that Malloy
is a good friend, and the trusts him enough to think it was important.
At Collinwood, David finishes working with his charts and starts up
the stairs to his room. There's a knock at the door. He comes back down
to answer it. It's Sheriff Patterson. He tells David he'd like to talk
to his father Roger.

(This appears here because it was broadcast out of order.)
The Sheriff tells Roger they've fished Bill Malloy's body from the
water and he has a few more questions to ask. He tells him that though
Malloy died by drowning, he also suffred a blow to his head, that
although the blow probably happened after he fell into the sea, there's
always the possibility that it happened before, meaning Malloy was the
victim of foul play. He tells him he'd like to talk to him and
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth comes into the foyer and runs into Vicky there. Vicky
tells Elizabeth she won't be home for dinner tonight, saying she's
going to have dinner with a friend in Collinsport. Elizabeth replies
that she's glad to see she's made a friend. Roger comes out and tells
Elizabeth, "Oh. I've just come to get you." Vicky goes upstairs.
Having heard the tail end of their conversation, Roger asks, "What
friend was she talking about?" Elizabeth tells him, "I don't know.
Some friend she's going to have dinner with." Roger tells her, "The
sheriff wants to question us again." He adds, "Remember. I'm your
brother..."
They go into the drawing room. The sheriff asks Roger, "You said
you last saw Malloy last night at around 10:00?" Roger replies that
that's correct, that Malloy left at about 10:00 last night. The
sheriff asks, "What did you do between 10:00 and 11:00? Did you make
any calls?" Roger replies, "Yes. One. To the coast guard to check on
the weather forecast. Why?" The sheriff explains, "Bill Malloy's
housekeeper said he received a call at about 10:30. I was wondering
who it was." Roger remarks, "It wasn't me." The sheriff asks, "When
did you get to your office?" Roger replies that he was a little late
and arrived at about a minute after 11. The sheriff asks, "When did
you leave?" Roger replies, "At about 10 minutes to 11." The sheriff
asks, "Did anyone see you leave?" Elizabeth demands, "What's the
meaning of all these questions?" The sheriff explains, "Malloy's
watch broke and stopped when he hit the rocks at the base of the
cliff. It showed 10:45." Roger tells him, "No one saw me leave, but
I was still here at 10:45." The sheriff asks, "Do you know what this
meeting Malloy arranged was all about?" Roger replies that he doesn't.
The sheriff asks Elizabeth, "You said Bill Malloy was upset earlier
and said he had something important to do. Do you know what?" She
refuses to tell him, saying what they talked at the time is personal,
but the sheriff says, "I think I know. Burke Devlin told me that
he had arranged the meeting to clear Burke of what happened 10 years
ago." Elizabeth lies, saying Malloy only told her that he was going
to stop Burke from harassing the family but didn't say how.
Vicky is in her room dressing for dinner. David comes into the room,
holding something in his hand and beaming with happiness. Vicky asks
why he's in such a good mood. David replies, "After tonight, I'm not
going to see my father anymore. They're going to take him away and put
him in jail. The sheriff is arresting him right now downstairs". Vicky
asks, "How do you know?" David replies, "The Widows told me. And I saw
it in my crystal ball. I even figured out where it must've happened. I
calculated the tides and ocean currents and figured it out." He offers
to show her on the maps he's been carrying, but she declines.
Roger tells the sheriff that Burke is lying, that he wants to
destroy him and will do anything to cause him trouble. The sheriff
remarks, "Well, it's your word against Burke's." Roger tells him,
"Sam was there too. Ask him." The sheriff replies, "I already have.
He said he didn't know what the meeting was about either."
As the sheriff goes to the door to leave, David asks him, "Aren't
you going to arrest my father?" The sheriff jokes, "I was going to,
but he talked me out of it!". David gives him his maps, telling him,
"Here. I figured out where it happened." The sheriff, to humor him,
takes it and leaves. Roger glares at David and goes back into the
drawing room to talk to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth tells Roger that she lied for him, that Malloy did say
he was going to prove Burke innocent and asks him if there's any
truth to what Malloy suspected. Roger replies, "Yes, it's all true,
Liz. Ten years ago, it was I who killed the man and framed Burke for
it. Bill Malloy found out about it so I had to kill him." Elizabeth
gasps and sits down in shock, asking, "How could you...". Roger
replies, "I didn't. I just said all this because it's what you were
thinking, wasn't it? I just wanted you to hear what it sounded like
out loud. But it isn't true. It's just what Burke Devlin's managed to
get everyone thinking."
Vicky catches David eavesdropping at the door of the drawing
room and tells him not to. David exclaims, "I heard him! My father's
just admitted he killed Bill Malloy!" Vicky doesn't believe him.
Elizabeth and Roger come out of the drawing room into the foyer.
David sees Roger, exclaims, "They'll get you!" and runs upstairs.
Roger asks Vicky, "I hear you have an appointment tonight." Vicky
replies, "Yes. With Maggie and Sam Evans." After Vicky leaves,
Elizabeth asks Roger, "Why? Does that bother you?" Roger lies,
"Bother me? It doesn't concern me in the least."

Vicky and Maggie enter the Evan's Cottage. Maggie is carrying two
large bags of groceries. Maggie looks around for her father, but finds
that Sam isn't home yet. She tells Vicky to look around at her father's
paintings while she puts the groceries away and goes into the kitchen
to do so. Vicky looks around, and sees a stack of paintings leaning
against a wall by the window. She leafs through the paintings.
Suddenly she pulls one and excitedly shouts, "Maggie! Come here
quickly! It's important!" Maggie comes running into the room. Vicky
shows her the painting she pulled out of the stack. Maggie just
remarks, "Now that's an oldie!" Vicky exclaims, "No! Look at it
closely, then look at me. Doesn't it look like me?" Maggie looks at
it, then says,"Now that you mention it, it does. Why, you two could
be sisters!" The picture does indeed look like Vicky. Vicky asks
Maggie if she knows who it is. Maggie replies that it's an old painting
and she doesn't.
Burke Devlin shows up at the sheriff's office again. He asks,
"What are you doing about Bill Malloy's murder?" He tells the sheriff
that it's obvious that either Sam Evans or Roger Collins is responsible
and insists that something be done about it, threatening, "If you
don't do something about it, I will!"
Having finished preparing dinner, Maggie, and Vicky, who has been
helping her, retire to the living room to let it cook. Maggie remarks,
"Nothing to do now but wait!" They make small talk. Maggie asks Vicky
what the kitchen at Collinwood is like. At first, Vicky jokes that
instead of a stove, it contains open fires over which boil huge
cauldrons, then tells her, "It's just like any other kitchen, just
larger." They talk a bit about ghosts, Vicky telling Maggie she
thought she saw one one night when the power went out, but that it
might just have been Roger. Vicky asks Maggie, "I've heard a lot
of talk about something that happened 10 years ago, about Burke
Devlin going to jail for manslaughter. What happened, exactly?"
Before Maggie can answer, Sam comes home. Maggie tells him, "Vicky's
going to be our dinner guest tonight."
At the police office, the sheriff is going about doing his work.
Burke is still hanging around, insisting the sheriff take action.
The sheriff jokes, "Maybe we should get you a desk here, Burke."
Burke picks up a piece of paper from the sheriff's desk and asks,
"Is this an example of the work you do around here? It looks like it
was done by a ten year old!" The sheriff replies, "A nine year old,
actually. David Collins. He was trying to do what we've done, finding
out where Bill Malloy fell into the water using tide charts. He wasn't
too far wrong, either. We've established that Malloy must have fallen
into the water in one of three places, near his house, Sim's cove, or
Lookout Point." Burke exclaims, "Lookout Point! That's about half
way between his house and the cannery! Desn't that mean anything to
you?" The sheriff replies, "One thing I know. Someone's lying." Burke
asks what he means. The sheriff tells him, "You tell me that Malloy
had arranged the meeting to clear you. Roger and Sam deny this. They
say you're lying". Burke replies, "No. They're lying. Both of them
had a motive for murdering Bill Malloy". The sheriff remarks, "There's
no proof it was murder." Burke turns to leave, angrily saying,"I'm
not going to let them get away with this!" The sheriff warns Burke
against taking the law into his own hands, saying,"If you do, I lock
you up and forget there was a key!"
Vicky tells Sam about her past and about how she is trying to find
out about who her real family is. She shows him the painting she found
and asks, "Do you remember who the model was?" Sam remarks, "Now that's
an old one! It's amazing how much your brush stroke can change over 25
years. Hey! Do you know it looks a lot like you?" Vicky replies,
"That's why I want to know who the model is." Sam tells her, "It was a
local girl named Betty Hanscomb." Vicky asks, "Do you know anything
about her?" Sam laughs, "I used to know quite a bit about her" in a
tone of voice that indicates he used to be romantically involved with
her. He turns to Maggie and assures her this was before he met her
mother. He tells Vicky, "She couldn't possible have anything to do with
you. She left town about 6 months after this was painted, and a few
months after that, I heard she had died." Vicky asks, "Did she have
any relatives?" Sam replies, "Only her parents, and they're both dead
now." Maggie remarks, "Just before you came home, Vicky asked me aboutr
what happened to Burke 10 years ago." Sam angrily tells Maggie he
doesn't think that's a proper subject to entertain a guest with, but
Maggie insists,"Vicky wanted to know, don't you, Vicky?" Vicky replies
that she does. Sam at first just tells them, "Burke killed a man and
spent some time in jail for it, that's all.", but Maggie presses him
for more details. Finally, Sam tells them, "It was one night after
Burke, Roger and Laura, who would later marry Roger, had spent the
night in a tavern. Laura was originally Burke's girlfriend - until he
introduced her to Roger. You know how these things happen. Roger and
Burke used to be the best of friends. Well, anyway, that had all gone
out together and spent the night drinking at a tavern. They came down
in Burke's car, and when they left, Burke, who was so drunk he had
to be helped out of the tavern, insisted on driving. He hit and killed
a man, and kept driving. Afterwards, Burke said he didn't think he was
driving, but was too drunk to be sure. Roger and Laura testified at
the trial that Burke was driving. All these years, Burke has insisted
it wasn't him who was driving." The phone rings. It's the sheriff. He
tells Sam that Burke is pretty angry and might show up at his house.
He tells him if he does, call him. After hanging up, Sam tells Maggie,
"Lock the door. Let's have dinner." Maggie goes to lock the door, but
just as she gets there, there's a knock at the door. Sam exclaims, "NO!
Maggie! Don't open..", but it's too late. She's opened the door. It's
Burke. She tells him, "Burke! We were just about to have dinner." He
comes in and asks, "Do you have room for one more?"

Maggie, in answer to Burke's question, tells him, "No." Burke
remarks, "My, how thinngs have changed. There was a time when all
I had to do was come here and I'd be dragged to the dinner table.
And when you hadn't seen me for a while, you'd ask around to see if
I was all right." Sam asks, "Burke, have you considered that maybe
it's because Maggie didn't make enough food for four?" Burke replies,
"I'd be satisfied with a sandwich.." They reluctantly agree to let
him stay. Maggie goes into the kitchen to get dinner and make a
sandwich for Burke. Burke remarks to Vicky, "Sorry. I didn't know
you'd be here tonight." Vicky asks, "Would it make any difference if
you did?" Burke replies, "No, probably not." Vicky asks, "What's so
important?" Burke replies, "It's the beginning of the day of judgment,
isn't that right, Sam?" Maggie comes back into the room and, noticing
the silence, asks, "What's wrong. I hate coming into a room and have
everyone suddenly stop talking..." Burke remarks, "We were talking
about Bill Malloy. Sam remarks, "That's not subject for dinnertime
conversation." Burke replies, "So let's talk about something else.
How about my manslaughter conviction?" Vicky remarks, "We were just
talking about that when you came." Burke tells Vicky his side of the
story, saying that although it was him driving when they left the
tavern, Roger later made him pull over because he was so drunk and
took his place at the wheel. Vicky asks, "Before the accident?" Burke
replies,"Yes. I thought so then, and I think so now." Maggie remarks,
"But you can't be sure. You were drunk." Sam remarks, "I'll go get
some more drinks" and leaves the room. Burke and the girls talk a
little bit more. He tells them about the trial, about the feeling
of hopelessness that overcame him when Roger sat down to testify,
how he realized that it wasn't just Roger up there testifying against
him, but in effect the entire Collins family, the family that was
responsible for over half the jobs in town, how he realized there was
no hope they would take his word over that of a Collins. He tells
them he felt like an ant trying to crush an elephant. After a while,
Burke tells Maggie, "Go get your father. I miss his company." Maggie
goes to do so, but comes back without him, saying, "I can't find him.
He's left the house..."
Sam shows up at the lobby of the Collinsport. He tells the clerk,
a Mr. Wells (Conrad Bain), that his daughter Maggie had left something
in the safe, a letter, and asks for it. As Wells is dialing the
combination on the safe, he remarks, "Too bad about Bill Malloy.
Who'd've believed he'd die that way, what with his experience being
around the sea all his life." Sam replies, "Well, things like that
happen." Wells opens the safe and takes the letter out. Sam reaches
out to take it, but the clerk doesn't give it to him, saying "Wait.
I've got to call Maggie first and get her OK." Sam lies, "But she
isn't home." The clerk asks, "Do you know where she is?" Sam replies,
"No." The clerk tells him, "Then I can't give it to you." Sam protests,
"But I wrote it!" The clerk tells him, "Sorry, but I can't give it to
you. House rules. I could lose my job if I did."
A worried Maggie calls the Blue Whale, but they tell her Sam isn't
there. She asks, "Why would he run?" Burke replies, "Because he's
afraid of me. I think he had something to do with Bill Malloy's
death and ran because he was afraid I came here to talk to him about
it." He tells them about the meeting Malloy had arranged. Vicky
remarks that Malloy had come to Collinwood on the night of his
death to talk to Roger about some meething. Burke tells them,
"He must've asked Sam there because your father must have known
something that would clear me." Maggie exclaims, "NO! That's not
possible. If he did, he'd have gone running to the authorities to
tell them. He's that kind of man..." After Burke leaves, Maggie sobs,
"He couldn't have had anything to do with the accident..." Vicky
reassures her by saying, "Bill Malloy must've been mistaken."
Burke returns to the Inn and asks the clerk for his key. Mr. Wells
gives him the key and makes a few remarks about Bill Malloy.
He then remarks, "Well, just like Sam Evans said, things like that
happen." Burke asks, "Sam was here?" The clerk replies, "Yes. About
an hour ago. Tried to pull a fast one on me. Tried to get me to give
him a letter Maggie had left here, but I couldn't give it to him.
Against house rules." Sam comes out of the diner and runs into Burke
in the lobby. Burke asks, "Where have you been?" Sam replies, "Here,
waiting for you. You said you wanted to have a private talk. Let's
have it."

Maggie. I came here. I want to get this thing settled once and for

Vicky returns to Collinwood. Roger sees her come in from the
drawing room. He goes out into the foyer and asks, "Have a pleasant
evening, Miss Winters?" Vicky replies, "No, not really." Roger asks
her, "What happened? Sam get drunk? I told you he would." Vicky
tells him she doesn't want to talk about it. He tries to pressure
her to tell him. Vicky, irritated, asks, "What's the matter? Are you
trying to find out if we talked about Burke's manslaughter trial? Is
that what you were afraid of when you found out I was going there?"
She tells him Sam Evans had told her about the trial, and tells him
what he said. Roger tells her, "Sorry Sam upset you with all this."
Vicky replies, "It wasn't Sam that upset me. It was Burke Devlin.
He told a completely different story."
Burke tells Sam, "I know I wasn't the one driving that car, and
you know it too, Sam." Sam denies it, saying he doesn't know anything
about the case except what he read in the papers. Sam asks, "Can't
you drop all this? What's done is done. You can't change what's
happened and you're doing a lot of harm by dragging it all out again.
I don't like you barging into my house. Maggie doesn't have to know
about all this..." Burke replies, "I've already told her." Sam becomes
furious, saying, "YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT!" Burke asks, "Somehow,
you knew it was Collins who was driving that car and not me, don't
you?" Sam denies it. Burke tells him, "All right. Answer one question,
the one I came to your house to ask you. Did you kill Bill Malloy?"
Sam replies that he didn't. Burke presses him on it, saying "You had
every reason to do so. If we had had that meeting, you might have
gone to prison for witholding evidence." Sam still insists he didn't
kill Bill Malloy.
Roger tells Vicky not to believe Burke, saying, "A jury of twelve
heard his story ten years ago, and not one of them believed it."
He asks, "What else did he say? I think that since I'm being
slandered, I have a right to know." Vicky tells him that Burke had
told her that Malloy had arranged a meeting to prove that he, Burke
was innocent of the manslaughter charge. Roger shouts, "That's a lie!"
Vicky asks, "Why would he lie?" Roger tells her,"Burke is a vicious
man, bent on revenge. He'll drag up anything, an argument between me
and Malloy or anything else,to destroy me." Vicky replies, "I'm sorry,
but I've already told him about that argument you had with Malloy
the night he died." He asks, "What did you tell him?" Vicky replies,
"Only that it was about a meeting. After Malloy said something about
a meeting, you two went into the drawing room and I went upstairs.
When I came back down at about 10:30, I heard you on the phone."
Roger, in a slightly shocked voice, asks, "You heard me on the phone?
Did you hear what I was talking about?" Vicky replies, "Someting about
a meeting again. I went back upstairs. I heard the front door slam
when you left the house a few minutes later, at about 10:35."
Roger tells her, "You must've been mistaken. I didn't leave the house
until 10 to 11. If anyone asks you, that's what you are to say. Not
that it matters, but I have a fetish for accuracy." Vicky leaves the
room, leaving Roger in the drawing room alone with the doors closed.
A few minutes later, Roger comes out of the drawing room and finds
Vicky talking on the phone. She finishes talking and hangs up. Roger
asks, "Who was that? Burke Devlin? Were you reporting to him?" Vicky
gets very angry and replies, "No. Not that it's any of your business,
but that was Maggie Evans. Her father hasn't come home and she's very
worried about him." Roger apoligizes, saying he was rude and out of
line. He tell her, "Let me make it up to you, Miss Winters. I have a
friend who lives in Florida in a wonderful house by the beach. He has
two children. I'll talk to him and get you a job there. You'll find
it much more pleasent there. The weather's much better and you won't
have to put up with all the strange goings on here. Vicky refuses the
offer. Roger asks, "What is it? Do you need some money?" Vicky
replies, "No. I'd just prefer to stay at Collinwood." Roger remarks,
"Miss Winters, you're a fool!" Vicky replies, "Probably." and goes
upstairs. Roger puts his hat and coat on and exits the house.
Sam manages to convice Burke that he didn't kill Malloy. Burke
remarks, "If you didn't do it, there's only one other person who
could have..."

Joe and Carolyn go to the Blue Whale. Carolyn starts to talk about
Bill Malloy. Joe tells her, "I feel like a complete failure. I took
you out tonight to take your mind off Bill Malloy. It seems like I've
failed."
The clock in the foyer shows 9:05. Matthew Morgan enters the house
carrying a bundle of firewood. He goes into the drawing room to
freshen the fire. He finds Elizabeth sitting in there alone, a worried
look on her face. Assuming that she is moping about Bill Malloy, he
tells her, "Thinking about it won't bring him back." She asks,
"Matthew, when you found the body at the base of the cliff, were
there any marks on it?" Matthew replies, "No. No marks at all. Why
do you ask?" Elizabeth replies, "There was a bump on his head when
he was found." Matthew remarks, "That was probably caused after he
hit the water, being thrown on the rocks by the waves." Elizabeth
replies, "Thank you", appearing very relieved.
Maggie goes to the Blue Whale to look for her father, but finds
that he isn't there. She asks Carolyn and Joe if they've seen him.
They reply that they haven't. She asks if they've seen Burke Devlin.
Carolyn replies that they haven't seen him either. Maggie remarks,
"If you see him, tell him to do me a favor and pack his bags and
leave town." Carolyn asks why. Maggie replies, "You'll know soon.
It'll be all over town soon..."
Matthew asks Elzabeth,"Has Burke Devlin been bothering you about
about Bill Malloy?" Elizabeth replies that he has. Matthew leaves.
There's a knock at the door. Elizabeth answers. It's Maggie. She
asks to see Roger. Elizabeth starts to go to get him, but abruptly
comes back and tells Maggie, "You'd better tell me what you want to
talk to him about. Does it involve your father?" Maggie replies that
it does. Elizabeth asks, "And Burke Devlin?" Maggie tells her, "I
think I'd better talk to Roger about this", but Elizabeth demands,
"Answer my question first. Does this involve Burke Devlin?" Maggie
answers, "Yes. He made some accusations against my father. I want
to know if they're true." Elizabeth asks, "Why come here?" Maggie
her what Burke had said at the cottage. Elizabeth goes to get Roger.
Matthew Morgan walks into the Blue Whale. Carolyn sees him and
asks, "Hello. What are you doing here? You don't usually come here,
do you?" Matthew replies that he doesn't, that he's looking for
someone tonight. Carolyn asks, "Who?" Matthew replies, "Burke Devlin.
But he doesn't seem to be here right now. No matter. I'll wait. He'll
probably show up sooner or later." He tells her, "When you get back
to Collinwood, tell your mother everything's going to be all right."
Carolyn asks, "What do you mean?" He tells her, "About the Bill Malloy
business. She'll know what I mean." Carolyn and Joe leave. A few
minutes later, they return, Carolyn worried about Matthew's strange
demeanor. She asks him, "Matthew, what did you mean when you said,
"This Bill Malloy business?" Matthew explains cryptically, "Burke
Devlin's causing trouble for your family. I've warned him already
about that, but he has. It's because of him that Bill Malloy's
dead!"
Elizabeth comes back down and tells Maggie that Roger isn't home.
She tells her, "Don't worry too much. Burke's accusations are all
false. He has a grudge against the family". Maggie asks, "Why does he
have a grudge against my father? He has nothing to do with your
family." Elizabeth replies,"I don't know. But Burke is a vicious man,
capable of almost anything, lying, cheating, even slandering an
innocent man." Carolyn, who's come in throught the front doors while
she was saying this, asks, "Do you think he's capable of murder?"
Elizabeth replies, "Yes. Yes I do." She shows Maggie to the door.

Carolyn asks what Maggie was doing here. Elizabeth refuses to tell
her. Carolyn remarks, "I know what's on your mind. You think Burke
Devlin killed Bill Malloy, don't you?" Elizabeth replies, "Bill's
death was an accident. No one killed him." Carolyn asks, "Then why
did you say you thought he was capable of murder?" Elizabeth replies
that she was angry and shouldn't have said that, but "He'll try to
cause trouble about Malloy's death." Carolyn says, "Oh, no. I ran
into Matthew at the Blue Whale. He told me he was looking for Burke
and to tell you that everything's going to be fine and not to worry
about 'this Bill Malloy business.'" I didn't know what he was talking
about then, but I think I do now."
Matthew is still sitting at a table in the Blue Whale, waiting.
Finally, Burke comes in. He sees Matthew, goes up to him and asks
him, "Do you know where Roger Collins is?" Matthew replies that he
doesn't. Burke thanks him and turns to leave, but Matthew grabs him
by the wrist and says, "I want to talk to you!" Burke demands, "Let
go of my arm!" Matthew does.
Elizabeth calls the Blue Whale and asks if Matthew is stil there,
but is told he isn't. She hangs up and tells Carolyn, "I had no idea
he'd do something like this. I can't believe he'd really try to harm
Burke." The phone rings. Elizabeth answers. It's the sheriff. He tells
her that Burke is angry and might show up at the house. He tells her
to call him if he does. Elizabeth tells him, "Wait. I've got to talk
to you about my caretaker."
Matthew tells Burke, "You know, telling the waiter to lie to
Mrs. Stoddard is the only time I've ever lied to her. I'm going to
kill you if you do anything to hurt her." He demands that he pack his
bags and leave town. Burke refuses and tells him, "I'm going to do
what I came here to do, and if Elizbeth is hurt by it, too bad. You
think she's an angel, but she's not. She's nothing but a neurotic
woman who's locked herself up in that house for 18 years and likes
it." Matthew screams, "DON"T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!", lunges at
Burke, grabs him by the throat with both hands, and starts to
strangle him. Matthew appears to be immensely strong, and Burke is
unable to tear him off. The bartender and two customers come to his
aid. The sheriff comes in and also comes to help. Finally, they
manage to tear Matthew off Burke. The sheriff takes them both in.
At the sheriff's office, Sheriff Patterson asks what happened.
Matthew explains that Burke was harassing the Collin's family about
Bill's death. The sheriff sends Matthew outside while he talks to
Burke. He tells Burke, "I thought I told you to stop playing
vigilante!"
Carolyn blames Elizabeth, saying it's her fault all this is
happening. Elizabeth tells her, "All right. I'll tell you why Maggie
was so upset." She tells her about Burke's claim Roger had lied on
the stand, that it wasn't him, Burke, who was driving the car, and
somehow Sam knows this too, that Malloy had arranged the meeting to
prove this. Carolyn is aghast. Elizabeth asks, "Now which do you
believe? That Burke is a vicious liar, or that your uncle would
knowingly put an innocent man in prison?"
The sheriff asks Burke, "Where did you go tonight?" Burke replies
that he went to see Sam Evans, that he talked to him and was convinced
that it wasn't Sam who killed Bill Malloy, that therefore it must've
been Roger. The sheriff replies, "How many times do I have to tell
you? Nobody killed Bill Malloy. It was an accident!" He warns him,
"I'm the law around here. Stay away from Collinwood, and stay away
from Roger Collins!" Burke demands that he do something about "that
madman Matthew", but the sheriff replies, "I can handle Matthew. It's
you that I'm worried about." He tells him he can go and calls Matthew
to come back into the room. Burke sarcastically remarks, "Remember to
take it nice and easy with him. He's a member of the Collins
household. They have a lot of influence around here." and leaves.
The sheriff warns Matthew ,"You want to keep trouble away from
the Collins family? Stay away from Burke Devlin!" Matthew asks, "What
if he comes up to the house?" The sheriff replies, "Don't worry. He
won't. After tonight...."
Carolyn decides that Burke must be a vicious liar. She asks, "How
could he say such things?" She asks Elizabeth, "Would you mind if I
went and talked to him about it?" Elizabeth replies, "Would it make
any difference if I said I did?" Carolyn admits that it probably
wouldn't. Elizabeth tells her, "I'd prefer you didn't, of course, but
I'm not going to try to stop you from doing so because I know it
wouldn't do any good." After Carolyn leaves, Elizabeth makes a call
to try to find out where Matthew is, but there is a knock at the door
and she tells the person she is talking to, "Oh, never mind. That's
probably him right now" and hangs up. She goes to answer the door,
but when she opens it, she finds not Matthew standing outside, but
Burke Devlin. He says, nonchalantly, "Good Evening, Mrs. Stoddard."

Uninvited, Burke walks in. Elizabeth complains, "I didn't invite
you in. What do you want?" Burke replies, "I want to talk to your
brother." Elizabeth tells him Roger isn't home. She then demands that
he leave, saying he had no right to barge in uninvited. He refuses,
saying, "I'm going to wait right here for Roger." and goes into the
drawing room to do so. She tells him the sheriff had called earlier
warning he might show up, and asked her to call him if he should.
Burke tells her, "Go ahead.". Elizabeth picks up the phone to do so,
but then thinks better of it and puts it back down without calling.
At the Blue Whale, Roger calls Maggie to see if Sam is home. While
he is asking her if Sam is home, she's trying to ask him what's going
on. While they're talking, Sam walks into the bar. Roger sees him,
tells Maggie, "Never mind. He's just walked in." and hangs up. He
goes to Sam and tells him, "I've been looking for you. The sheriff
has talked to you about Bill Malloy. What did you tell him?" Sam
replies, "Exactly what you told me to tell him. That I had no idea
why Bill called us to that meeting." Roger asks, "Why did Burke Devlin
go to your house?" Sam asks, "How do you know he came to my house?
Did you have a bug in the clam chowder?" Roger tells him, "Vicky told
me." Sam tells him, "Burke thought I had killed Burke Malloy. He's
on the warpath. He really wants your hide. He's really upset about
Bill Malloy's death." Roger exclaims, "I had nothing to do with it!
Bill Malloy was an old friend..." Sam laughs and interrupts,"The
only time he was a friend of yours is when he did you the favor of
dying just before the meeting!"
Burke and Elizabeth are sitting in the drawing room. Elizabeth is
trying to make conversation, but Burke does not seem to want to talk.
Vicky happens into the room. Elizabeth tells Vicky to keep Burke
entertained while she goes and gets some tea. Vicky asks Burke, "What
are you doing here?" He jokes, "I don't know. I think I'm going to
have some tea." She asks, "Have you come here to ask about Bill
Malloy's death?" He refuses to tell her, saying only, "I've come to
settle accounts. I've waited 10 years for this..."
At the Blue Whale, Sam tells Roger that he fled after Burke came
to his house, saying, "I panicked!" He continues, "After I did that,
I knew I had to go talk to him or it would look bad. I knew he
came to talk to me about Bill Malloy's death." He tells Roger that
he managed to convince Burke he was innocent. He adds, "You're next
on his list." He asks, "You know that offer you made to me a while
ago? You said you'd give me money to leave town? I think I'm ready
to accept it now." But Roger replies, "Sorry. That offer is no longer
open."
After Roger leaves the bar, Sam calls Maggie and tells her he's
all right. After he hangs up, Sam turns aroung and is surprised to
see Roger there. Sam asks Roger, "What are you doing here? I thought
you had left." Roger replies, "I've reconsidered. I've decided to
give you the money to leave town." But Sam replies, "I've reconsidered
too. I asked for the money in a moment of panic. Now that I've thought
about it, I don't think it's such a good idea. Both the sheriff and
Burke Devlin would find it very interesting if I left town, wouldn't
it? But it would look very good for YOU if I ran off while I'm a
suspect in a murder investigation."
Elizabeth returns to the drawing room with the tea. The front door
slams. Elizabeth quickly goes out into the foyer, closing the drawing
room doors behind her. Roger has just come in. Elizabeth tells him,
"We have a guest." Roger asks, "Who?" Elizabeth replies, "Someone
both of us knew we had to see sooner or later. Burke Devlin."

Roger goes into the drawing room and asks Burke, "What are you
doing here?" Burke sarcastically replies, "Having tea." Roger
tells Elizabeth that he'd like to talk to Burke alone. Elizabeth
replies, "No. I think we should all hear this.", but Roger insists,
saying he won't talk to Burke unless they can talk alone. Elizabeth
and Vicky go into the foyer, closing the doors behind them.
Roger asks Burke, "What do you want?" Burke replies, "I want your
hide, Roger!"
Elizabeth, worried, asks Vicky, "When you were talking to Burke,
did he seem in control of himself? I'm not sure it's such a good idea
to leave them alone like this." Vicky replies Burke seemed to be quite
in control of himself. Elizabeth asks, "Did he tell you what he
wanted?" Vicky replies, "I think he wants to clear his name.'
In the drawing room, Roger tells Burke, "I could sue you for
slander for what you just said!" Burke replies, "Go ahead. I'd welcome
the chance to bring this all into court again." Roger asks, "What good
would that do? Do you have any new evidence or anything?" Burke replies
that he doesn't, but he thinks Sam does, that he thinks that's what
Bill Malloy found out and what he arranged the meeting for. Roger
tells him, "That's preposterous. Why can't you just drop this, Burke?
You can't get those five years you've spent in prison back." Burke
growls, "It was 5 years, 1 month, 3 days and 7 hours. And every moment
of it, I thought about what I'd do when I came back here. But that's
not important now. Let me ask you something that is. DID YOU KILL
BILL MALLOY?" Roger asks, "Are you serious? Why would I kill
Malloy? He was a good friend of mine." Burke replies, "Because he
arranged that meeting to show that it was you, not me, who was
responsible for that accident!" Roger replies, "You're insane!" and
goes towards the door to exit the room, but Burke runs there before
him and bars the way.
Vicky is in her room writing a letter. Elizabeth comes in. She
tells Vicky, "I'm worried about what's going on downstairs in the
drawing room." She sees that Vicky is doing something and apoligizes,
"Oh. I hope I'm not bothering you." Vicky replies, "No. I'm just
writing a letter." Elizabeth remarks, "You seem to write a lot of
letters. You must have a lot of friends." Vicky replies, "No. Not
really. You might find this strange, but all these letters you've seen
me writing are to myself!" Elizabeth asks, "What?" Vicky explains,
"It's a habit I got into in the foundling home. You don't know how
lonely it can get there. I wrote because it was the only way I'd.
get any mail. It was something to look forward to." Elizbeth
remarks, "How sad..."
Burke demands, "I want to know your timetable that night!" Roger
refuses to tell him anything, but Burke tells him, "If you want to
get rid of me, tell me everything you did that night!" Roger tells
him, "Bill came to see me to tell me about the meeting. He left at
about 10:00. I worked on some business papers from 10 till about
10 minutes of 11, then left to drive to my office. So you see, I
was here when Bill died at 10:45." Burke, looking dubious, asks,
"Can anyone confirm your story?" Roger calmly replies, "Yes." Burke
sarcastically remarks, "Who? Your sister?" in a tone of voice implying
that Elizabeth would lie for Roger. But Roger replies, "No. It was
Miss Winters." Burke, nonplussed, asks, "Vicky?" Roger replies, "Yes.
Vicky. She came down to tell me something important, about a dinner
she was going to go to. She was talking to me at about 10:45."
Burke demands that he get Vicky to confirm this.
Upstairs in Vicky's room, Elizabeth remarks to Vicky, "You must
have a pretty complete record of everything that's happened in your
life." Vicky replies, "Yes. I suppose it forms a diary of a sort.
Actually, not much ever really happened in my life until I came here.
Now I really keep a very careful record of everthing that happens.
I never know when something will turn out to shed some light on
my past." Elizabeth asks, "Is that still so important now that you've
found a place here?" Vicky replies, "Yes it is." Roger comes into
the room and tells Vicky Burke wants to know what time he, Roger, left
the house on the night Bill Malloy died. Vicky replies, "But I'm not
sure I remember what time you left." Roger asks Elizabeth, "Why don't
you go down and entertain Burke while I help Vicky remember."
Elizabeth leaves. Roger asks Vicky, "Now, you came down and heard me
talking on the phone at 10:30. After I hung up, you came and talked to
me about you dinner with the Evans'. Now, as you recall, we talked
about this for some time. It was certainly about 10:45 when you left.
And, as you have said, you heard me leave about 5 minutes later. That
was about 10 to 11." Vicky replies, uncertainly, "If you say so..."
Downstairs, Elizabeth asks Burke, "What will it take for you to
leave us alone?" Burke replies, "Justice!" I know it was Roger who
killed Bill Malloy, and Roger who sent Matthew to the Blue Whale to
kill me!" Elizabeth asks, "Now why would Matthew want to kill you?"
Burke replies, "Because he didn't want me dirtying the Collins name.
Well, I'm not very impressed with the Collins name and when I'm
finished, neither will anyone else!"
Roger comes downstairs with Vicky. Burke asks Vicky, "What time did
you see Roger Collins last on the night Bill Malloy died?" Vicky tells
Burke, "As far as I can remember, what Mr. Collins says is true. He
left the house at 10:45." Burke doesn't seem to like that answer. He
leaves, saying, "I'll be back to Collinwood! Possibly to stay!"

Maggie Evans is filling sugar containers at the diner. Carolyn
comes in and asks, "Do you know where Burke Devlin is? I've talked
to the clerk and he says he isn't up in his room." Maggie replies
that she doesn't. Carolyn tells her, "Mother told me what Burke said
about your father. She says not to worry about it, that Burke is
nothing but a vicious liar. She also said there was no murder. Bill
Malloy's death was an accident." Maggie asks, "So why is Burke
stirring up trouble about it?" Carolyn replies, "Because he's angry
about my uncle sending him to jail 10 years ago." Burke comes into
the diner. Maggie mutters, "Speak of the devil..."
Sam is at the Sheriff's office with Sheriff George Patterson.
The sheriff questions Sam. He asks him, "You said before that you
left your house at about 10:30. Are you sure about that?" Sam replies
that he isn't, that he might have left at 10:40 or 10:45. The sheriff
asks, "How long does it usually take for you to walk from your house
to Roger's office?" Sam replies, "Anywhere from 10 minutes to half
an hour." The sheriff asks, "Why the variance?" Sam explains, "I'm
an artist. Sometimes I stop to look at something that strikes my
eye, some trees, a cloud formation..." Sheriff Patterson asks,"Was
Maggie home when you left? Would she know what time you left?"
Sam replies, "I think she might." The intercom buzzes. The sheriff
is told that Bill Malloy's housekeeper Mrs. Johnson is here. The
sheriff says, "Send her in" and tells Sam he'll talk to him later.
Sam leaves. Mrs. Johnson (Clarice Blackburn) comes in. She demands,
"I want to know how Bill Malloy died!"
Carolyn tries to talk to Burke while he eats. He tells her he
thinks she's the only person at Collinwood who isn't a liar, that
everyone else seems to be, even Vicky. He remarks that a bit of
Ananais seems to have rubbed off on her. Carolyn asks, "What?"
Burke explains, "In Greek Myth, Ananais was the first liar. I hope
what happened to him doesn't happen to Vicky." Carolyn asks, "What
happened to him?" Burke replies, "He was struck dead..." Burke
finishes eating and excuses himself, saying, "I've got some phone
calls I've got to make." Carolyn protests, "But I have to talk to
you!" Burke leaves, saying "Later."
The sheriff explains, "The autopsy showed that Bill Malloy died
from drowning. It also showed he had suffered a blow to the head, but
that probably happened when the water threw him against the rocks."
Miss Jonhson remarks, "Probably. But you're not sure." The sheriff
continues, "His broken watch showed that he died at 10:45." Miss
Johnson remarks, "Just a little after I left the house.." The sheriff
asks, "Now he received a phone call at about 10:30. Do you know who
it was from?" Miss Jonhson replies that she doesn't, but that it made
Malloy quite angry, that he was shouting and arguing with whoever it
was. The sheriff asks, "Was Mr. Malloy depressed? Do you think this
phone call could have upset him enough to cause him to go and commit
suicide?" Miss Johnson replises, "OF COURSE NOT! He's not the kind of
man who would do such a thing! After that phone call, he told me to
fix his breakfast half an hour early tomorrow morning. He said he
had some things he had to do early. Now would a man who was planning
to go and kill himself do that? I tell you, I think his death has
something to do with the Collins family."
Sam has gone to the diner and is talking with Maggie. Maggie talls
Sam, "I know what you tried to do. Mr. Wells told me. You tried to
get that letter back." Sam denies that that was what he was trying
to do, lying, "I only wanted to add a postscript." Maggie tells him,
"Well, if that's what you want to do, write it in another letter and
give it to me. I'll put it with the first one." Sam asks, "Maggie, do
you remember what time I left the house the night Bill Malloy died?"
Maggie asks, "Why? Who wants to know?" Sam remarks that the sheriff
does, that he's established that Malloy died at 10:45. Maggie is
shocked and exclaims, "He couldn't think you had anything to do with
it, could he?" The sheriff comes to question Maggie and asks her what
time Sam left the house that night. Maggie tells him,"10:45". When
the sheriff asks her if she's sure, she sarcastically replies, "Yes.
I checked my watch. Then I called the naval observatory to make sure."
Burke is in his room talking on the phone. He tells someone, "Make
sure you're ready to come here with those papers at a moment's notice.
We're going to see some action soon!" After he hangs up, he lets
Carolyn in.
Carolyn tells Burke, "I hear you've claimed that Uncle Roger has
something to do with Mr. Malloy's death." Burke asks, "So Vicky
returned to Collinwood and reported what I said at the Evans Cottage,
did she?" Carolyn replies, "No. Maggie did." Burke remarks, "Maybe I
misjudged Vicky..." He tells Carolyn, "I think Bill Malloy was
murdered to cover something up!"
Maggie insists to the sheriff that she's certain her father had
left the house at 10:45. Finally, Sam tells her, "No, Maggie. Stop
lying. Don't get yourself in trouble." He admits to the sheriff, "I
left at 10:30 and walked around a little before going to Roger's
office." After the sheriff leaves, Maggie asks Sam, "What's it all
about, Pop?" He refuses to tell her. She asks, "Does that letter you
wrote tell me?" Sam replies, "NO! It's only my last will and
testament." Maggie protests, "But you said it was protection, life
insurance." Sam lies, "I meant protection for YOU, life insurance for
YOU."
Carolyn protests, "But you said you were drunk at the time and
can't remember!", Burke apparently having told her about the accident.
Burke replies, "Yes. I was too drunk to remember the accident, but
I'm sure I wasn't at the wheel." Carolyn remarks, "But if you weren't,
then that means Uncle Roger was..." Burke replies emphatically, "YES!"
Carolyn asks, "And what does Bill Malloy have to do with all this?"
Burke replies, "I think he uncovered something that would prove my
innocence and was killed to keep him quiet. I don't say your Uncle
Roger killed him on purpose, but I think he killed him. Maybe they
were arguing and the argument got heated and maybe they got into
a fight and Malloy fell of the cliff during it." He apoligizes to
Carolyn for being so blunt, but saying, "Sorry it's got to be this
way, but that's the way it's got to be..."

Carolyn goes to Roger's office to talk to him. She tells him she
went to talk to Burke Devlin. He growls, "Burke Devlin's nothing but
a vicious liar!" She tells him, "He actually accused you of killing
Bill Malloy!" Roger completely denies it. Carolyn tells him, "I
didn't believe you had anything to do with it, but I wanted to hear
you say it." Roger cotinues, "In fact, I couldn't have done it. I was
still at home at the time it happened. Miss Winters can confirm it."
Carolyn remarks, "You know, you should be nicer to Vicky." Roger
replies,"Yes. Maybe I should."
In the drawing room at Collinwood, David is lying on the floor
looking through the family history. It is turned to the picture of
"Josette Collins". When David hears Vicky calling, "David!", he
quickly goes and hides behind the curtains. Vicky comes into the room
and quickly finds him. David tells her, "If I had really wanted to
hide from you, you wouldn't have found me." He tells her he was
just playing, that when he went to school, they had something called
"recess" to let the kids play. Vicky asks, "Was this when you were
living in Augusta?" David replies that it was. Vicky asks, "Did you
enjoy it there?" David tells her that he didn't, that his mother
and father were always fighting, fighting about Burke.
Roger is alone in his office, Carolyn having left. The intercom
buzzes and Roger's secretary tells him that sheriff is outside and
wants to come in and talk to him. Roger, quickly taking out a file
so he can pretend to be busy, tells her to let him in. The sheriff
comes in and tells Roger, "Burke Devlin's decided not to press
charges against Matthew Morgan." Roger, puzzled, asks, "Charges
against Matthew? For what?" The sheriff explains how Matthew had
tried to kill Burke and how Burke has suspected that he, Roger had
put him up to it. Roger replies, "If I had hired someone to kill
Burke, I would've made sure it was someone a lot brighter that
Matthew." The sheriff , satisfied with the answer, remarks, "Now
that impresses me as much as anything else you could've said" and
leaves. A few minutes after the sheriff leaves, Roger does too.
Vicky is talking with David. She remarks, "I don't think Burke
likes me much anymore. I had to say something he didn't like. I had
to. It was the truth." David becomes furious, saying, "You're only
trying to get between me and Burke." He starts to throw a tantrum,
pushing chairs over and sweeping things off tables. Roger comes in
and asks what's going on. David lies, "She tried to hurt me!" When
Roger, who obviously doesn't believe this, asks, "Now why would she
want to do that?", David runs from the room in anger.
Roger and Vicky talk. Unbeknownst to them, David is outside in
the foyer eavesdropping on them. Roger tells Vicky, "I wanted to talk
to you. I've been very rude to you since you've come here. I want to
make it up to you. I'd like to invite you out to dinner some night.
You know, we have the world's best lobster here." Vicky accepts his
invitation. He asks what she and David were arguing about. She tells
him David was telling her about the arguments he used to have with
his wife about Burke Devlin.
After Vicky leaves, David comes out of hiding and comes into the
drawing room. He asks, "Why were you so nice to Miss Winters? I
thought you didn't like her." Roger mutters, "You can catch more
flies with sugar than vinegar." David, not understanding, asks, "Huh?"
Roger lies, "I figured if I was nicer to her, she'd be nicer to you."
David asks, "Why can't you just fire her?" Roger explains, "Because
you Aunt Elizabeth likes her." David asks, in a malicious tone, "What
if she did something Aunt Elizabeth DIDN"T like?" Roger replies,
"Don't tell me about it. I don't want to know about it..."
Vicky, on her way upstairs, runs into Carolyn, who's coming home.
Seeing that Carolyn looks depressed, she remarks, "You look like you
lost your last friend." Carolyn glumly replies, "Maybe I have. I went
to see Joe to invite him to lunch, and he wasn't in his office. I'm
so mad at him!" The phone rings. It's Joe. Carolyn brightens up.
Inside the drawing room, Roger tells David, "Now think carefully.
Who would you rather see leave? Me or Miss Winters?"

Mrs. Johnson, Bill Malloy's housekeeper, meets Burke Devlin in
his hotel room, having been asked by him to come there. She tells
him, "I don't think Mr. Malloy's death was an accident!" He tells
her he doesn't think so either and asks her, to "help me track down
the person who killed Bill Malloy!"
Joe Haskell goes to Roger's office, having gotten a message that
he's wanted there. But when he goes there, he finds not Roger, but
Carolyn. He tells her, "I got a message that said I'm wanted here."
She exclaims, "You are!" She asks him to take the day off and spend
it with him. Noticing that she appears somewhat distressed, he asks
her what's wrong. She tells him, "It was something Burke Devlin said."
Burke explains to Mrs. Johsnson, "What if I told you I had a plan
to ruin the Collins family, and Mr. Malloy knew about it?" Mrs.
Johnson replies emphatically, "He would never stand for it!" Burke
continues, "No he wouldn't. When he found out about it, he was
willing to sacrifice Roger Collins to prevent it from happening."
Burke tells her his plan. He tells her he wants her to get a job at
Collinwood so she can be his "eyes and ears" there for him. Mrs.
Johnson tells him, "I'd do anything to avenge Mr. Malloy's death!"
He replies, "That's exactly what I want to hear!"
Carolyn tells Joe what Burke had said about Roger, and asks, "Why
would he say such things?" Joe, obviously comparing it to his own
situation vis-a-vis Carolyn and Burke, says "Obviously, he wanted
revenge. Laura was his girl until she met Roger, then she dropped him
for Roger, seeing he had nothing to offer compared to Roger." He gets
very emotional about this, saying "I can see how a guy could get very
angry over this!" Carolyn doesn't seem to get the hint.
Burke tells Mrs. Johnson, "Roger Collins obviously has the
strongest motive for killing Mr. Malloy, but there's one problem.
Vicky Winters confirms his story that he was at the house when
Malloy died at 10:45. She says he didn't leave until 10 minutes till
11." Mrs. Johnson tells him the obvious, "Well, she must've lied",
but Burke replies, "No. I don't believe she would do that." Mrs.
Johnson, hearing his tone of voice when he says this, tells him,
"You seem to have some feeling for Miss Winters. We can't let feelings
get in the way of finding Mr. Malloy's killer!" He agrees with her
and says, "All right. Maybe Miss Winters was..". He pauses, then
finishes his sentence, "mistaken."
Carolyn asks Joe to take the day off and take her to the beach.
Unwilling to take advantage of being the boyfriend of the owner's
daughter and just leave, he calls around, trying to find someone to
take over for him for the day, but can't find anyone. Unable to find
anyone to take over, he tells Carolyn he can't take her to the beach.
Burke tells Mrs. Johnson, "What I want you to do is get a job
at Collinwood." She replies, "I don't know how I'll manage that. They
don't have any help up there except Matthew Morgan and don't seem
to want any. Everyone in town knows it's no use to apply there..."
There's a knock at the door. Burke asks, "Who is it?" From the other
side, a voice answers, "Carolyn Stoddard" Burke, after quickly hiding
Mrs. Johnson in the kitchen, lets Carolyn in. She angrily tells him
she told Roger what he said, and that Roger denied it was true. She
tells him she believes her Uncle Roger, saying she knows he's not
the kind of man who would either frame him or kill Bill Malloy to
cover it up. Burke replies, "Yes. I didn't mean what I said to
you earlier. It's just that I was so upset about Mr. Malloy's death,
I jumped to conclusions." He continues, "There's only one person who
was affected by Mr. Malloy's death more than me - his housekeeper,
Mrs. Johnson. She was deeply upset by Malloy's death." He tells
Carolyn that Mrs. Johnson needs a job. Carolyn asks, "Does she need
money?" Burke replies, "No. If it were only that, I could give it
to her. She needs a job to get her mind off Mr. Malloy's death."
Carolyn's face brightens and she exclaims, "Hey! Maybe I can help!
Maybe I can get Mother to give her a job at Collinwood!"
After Carolyn leaves, Mrs. Johnson comes out of the kitchen and
remarks, "So you lied to the girl, eh?" Burke replies, "Mrs. Johnson,
EVERYONE at Collinwood is fair game to me."

Vicky comes down to the drawing room, having been summoned by
Elizbeth. Elizabeth tells her, "I have something I want to talk to
you about. I don't want anyone else hearing this." Unfortunately,
outside, David is eavesdropping through the door. Elizabeth tells
Vicky, "I'd like to thank you for confirming Roger's story about
the time he left Collinwood that night." Vicky replies, "I was only
telling the truth." Elizabeth asks, "What do you think happened to
Mr. Malloy?" Vicky replies that she thinks it must have been an
accident. Elizabeth tells her that's what she thinks too. Suddenly,
there's a loud commotion outside in the foyer, and the doors burst
open. Outside, Matthew is struggling with David. David breaks free
and runs to Elizabeth, crying, "Help me, Aunt Elizabeth, help me!"
Elizabeth asks, "Matthew. What's going on?" Matthew replies that he
caught David eavesdropping outside the door. David denies this, saying
"I was only waiting for Miss Winters!" Elizabeth, obviously believing
Matthew but pretending to believe David, tells David, "Well, here she
is." Vicky and David leave. Matthew tells Elizabeth, "Mrs. Stoddard,
I have something I've got to talk to you about..."
Outside as they are going up the stairs, David starts to talk to
Vicky about ghosts. Vicky tells him there's no such things, but David
insists he's seen them, that one of them is a pretty woman dressed all
in white. He tells her, "I'll draw you a picture of her!"
Matthew tells Elizabeth about trying to kill Burke. He tells her,
"The only thing I'm sorry about is that I didn't succeed!" Elizabeth
reprimands him for what he did, saying, "You can't take the law into
your own hands!" She tells him she appreciates the fact that he
thought he was trying to help and thanks him for this, but tells him
he can't do things like this.
Vicky, holding a sheet of paper in her hands, comes down the stairs
just as Matthew comes out of the drawing room. She hands him the paper
and asks her, "Have you ever seen anything like this? David drew it.
He claims it's a ghost who lives at Collinwood." Matthew looks at the
drawing, then glares at David, who's standing on the landing, and
growls, "So you been playin' around at the Old House, eh?" Vicky asks,
"The old house? What's that?" Matthew replies, "It's old and it's
dangerous. Stay away from there!"
Vicky goes into the drawing room and shows Elizabeth the drawing,
saying David drew it and said it was a ghost that lives at the old
house. Elizabeth looks at it, then goes to the family album. She
looks at the picture, then compares it to the picture on the page she
turned to and tells Vicky, "Oh, he must have just copied it from the
family history." David denies this. Vicky asks Elizabeth, "What's the
Old House?" Elizabeth explains, "It's the original Collinwood. The
family lived there before this house was built. No one's lived there
for years." Carolyn comes into the drawing room to talk to Elizabeth
just as Vicky and David are leaving. She glances down at the family
history, which is lying on the table, still open to the page Elizabeth
had turned it. It's turned to a page bearing a picture captioned
"Josette Collins", the page it was opened to when she and Vicky came
in to investigate the noise they heard in the drawing room.
David denies that he copied the picture from the family history.
He tells Vicky, "I'll prove it to you. I'll take you to the old
house and show you the ghost. But we'll have to go at night. That's
when the ghosts come out!"
Carolyn tells Elizabeth, "You know, maybe it would be nice if
hired a housekeeper." Elizabeth is cool to the idea, saying she
doesn't need a housekeeper. Carolyn, undaunted, suggests, "She would
be great company for you." Elizabeth jokes, "I don't need company.
I've got all of David's ghosts to keep me company!"
It is 9:30 at night. Carolyn, dressed in a nightgown, comes out
of the door under the stairs, bearing a tray of tea things. She is
surprised to find Vicky and David in the foyer, dressed to go out
and asks Vicky where they are going. Vicky replies, "I'm going
with David to see some ghosts." in a voice that tells Carolyn she's
humoring the boy. Vicky and David leave and Carolyn goes into the
drawing room.
Inside the drawing room, Carolyn gives Elizabeth a cup of tea and
broaches the subject of hiring a housekeeper again. Elizabeth
protests, "I thought we talked about that already. I don't need a
housekeeper.", but Carolyn tells her, "I've even thought of someone
who would be perfect, Mrs. Johnson." Elizabeth asks, "Sarah Johnson?
What made you think of her?" Carolyn replies, "She was Bill Malloy's
housekeeper. She's terribly lonely now without him. We'd be doing
both her and ourselves a favor. I hear she's a great cook!"
David and Vicky go to the old house. It is built in the Greek
style popular in the 18th century, fronted by many columns. It is
a very large house, though much smaller than Collinwood. David and
Vicky go inside. The interior is in great disrepair, cobwebs every-
where. David takes Vicky to a fireplace in the living room and shows
her a portrait of a beautiful dark-haired woman hanging about the
mantel. Vicky exclaims, "Josette Collins! You must've copied the
drawing from here!" David denies this, saying his drawing looks like
the portrait because that's who the ghost he drew is. He tells her,
"She can't leave Collinwood." Vicky asks, "How do you know?" David
replies, "She told me! She told me she was condemned to stay here
until a third girl fell to her death from Widow's hill. I'm surprised
that she hasn't appeared to you, because I think that third girl is
going to be YOU!" Suddenly, he stops talking. They have both heard the
sounds of someone walking around outside. Now, heavy footsteps can
heard coming up the front stairs*. The door opens and someone
carrying a lantern comes it. He lifts the lattern to head level,
revealing his face. It's only Matthew Morgan. He explains, "I saw
you coming in here. I thought it was prowlers." He tells them,"You
shouldn't be here. This place is dangerous. It should be torn down.
Maybe I'll talk to Mrs. Stoddard about having it torn down." David,
hearing this, becomes very upset and screams, "NO! If you do that,
I'll have HER kill you!", gesturing at the portrait of Josette
Collins.
At Collinwood, Carolyn tells Elizabeth, "I think we owe it to
Mrs. Johnson. She was Bill Malloy's housekeeper for many years,
so in a way, she was working for us. Anyway, it's what Bill Malloy
would've wanted!"
Matthew tells Vicky they'd better leave the old house. David,
obviously disappointed, tells Vicky, "All right. Let's leave. She's
not going to come tonight anyway. She doesn't like HIM!", gesturing
toward Matthew. They leave, going out the front door and down the
front steps*, and go back to Collinwood.
Inside the now empty old house. A figure materializes from the
portrait of Josette Collins. It is the ghost of a dark haired woman,
dressed all in white, her face covered by a white veil. She walks
down from the portrait onto the floor, walking down as if there were
an invisible staircase leading from the portrait down to the floor.
She walks out of the room and out of the old house and wanders among
the columns fronting the house...

It is morning. Roger calls the sheriff and asks him when he'll
complete his investigation. The sheriff tells him that he'll complete
his final report in a few hours and will turn it over to the coroner
at about 11:00 and that the final decision on whether Malloy's death
was an accident, in which case the case will be dropped, or homicide,
in which case it won't be. Roger asks, "When will we know?" The
sheriff replies, "Sometime today."
A few minutes after hanging up, Roger calls the sheriff's office
again and tells the secretary and tells her he'd like to speak to
the sheriff again, saying, "Tell him I have something I'd like to
add to the report", but then says, "Oh, forget it." and hangs up.
He goes out into the foyer and sees Vicky coming down the stairs.
He tells her, "Oh, Miss Winters, I was just coming up to see you."
He laughs and jokes, "The morning wouldn't be complete without one
of our battles." He asks her, "How are you getting along with David."
She tells him they are starting to get along better, that last night,
he took her to the old house to look for ghosts. Roger tells her,
"You know, I think you need a change of scenerey. How about taking
the day off and letting me take you on a tour of the cannery?"
Vicky tells him she doesn't know how Elizabeth would feel about her
taking the day off, but Roger assures her he'll talk to her about it.
He tells her, "First I'll take you to a big breakfast at the diner,
then we'll go to the cannery." Vicky tells him, "Give me two minutes
to get ready." As she is going up the stairs, Roger tell her, "Oh,
yes. I've just remembered. I have one stop to make on the way. Is
that all right with you?" She replies, "Sure. You're the tour
director!"
Burke shows up at the sheriff's office and asks how the
investigation is going. The sheriff tells him he's completed it,
that he's going to turn his report over to the coroner soon and
it'll be the coroner who'll make the final decision as to whether
Malloy's death was an accident or homicide. Burke implies that the
decision will come out to be convenient for the Collins family. The
sheriff angrily replies, "The Collins family doesn't own me, and they
don't own the coroner." He adds, "I warn you, Burke, no matter how
it turns out, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF!"
Vicky and Roger are having breakfast at the diner. Vicky asks, "And
how do they get all those sardines off the boats?" Roger explains that
it's done with a huge suction device much like a giant vacuum cleaner.
Vicky jokes, "Ironic that the Collins business started with whales
and ended up with sardines!" Burke Devlin comes into the diner. He
goes to the counter and orders coffee and donuts. Roger excuses
himself to go make a phone call. Burke comes to the table and asks
Vicky, "Playing hookey today?" Vicky explains that Roger is taking
her on a tour of the cannery. She tells him she's sorry about what
she had to say the other night. She tells him she'd like to talk to
him about it and asks him where he'll be later. He replies, "Right
here." Roger comes back and tells Vicky, "We have one more stop
to make before the cannery."
Roger takes Vicky to the police station. He tells the sheriff, "I
had something to talk to you about. Miss Winters heard me leave the
house at 10 of 11 the night Bill Malloy died." The sheriff asks
Vicky, "Is that true?" Vicky replies that she doesn't really remember,
but "I have every reason to believe Mr. Collins left at the time he
says he did."
After taking her on a tour of the cannery, Roger lets Vicky out,
leaving her to go home by herself. Vicky goes back to the diner to
talk to Burke. She tells him, "I want you to know I'm not taking
sides in this" and explains that had to say what she did because it
was the truth. He angrily tells her, "I'm certain that Roger killed
Bill Malloy, and you story is the only thing getting in the way of
my theory." They argue. The sheriff comes into the diner. He sees
Vicky and tells her, "Oh, Miss Winters. I put your story about hearing
Roger leave at 10 of 11 in my report." Burke looks at Vicky and
remarks, "You certainly get around, don't you?" Burke, having cooled
down, tells Vicky he'll drive her home. Vicky tells him she doesn't
think that would be such a good idea, that the Collinses wouldn't
like him coming to Collinwood after last time, but Burke insists.
Burke drops Vicky off at the front door of Collinwood.

Vicky is in her room, looking at a dress. There's a knock at the
door. It's Carolyn. Vicky lets her in. Carolyn angrily tells Vicky,
"Why don't you just leave? Why don't you just pack your bags and go
back to that precious foundling home of yours?" Vicky asks, "I don't
understand. What have I done?" Carolyn replies, "There's a vicious
man who's been going around town saying awful things about this
family. He's actually accused Uncle Roger of killing Bill Malloy.
It's Burke Devlin. In spite of this, you've been seeing him. I saw
you drive up with him less than 10 minutes ago!" Vicky tries to
explain, but Carolyn is too angry to listen and stomps out of the
room in anger.
At the Inn, Mrs. Johnson calls Burke Devlin and tells him that
she hasn't had any word from Collinwood. After finishing her call,
she goes to the diner and orders a roast beef sandwich. She asks
Maggie, "Is the roast well done? I'd like a piece that is well done."
Maggie tells her she'll get her a well done slice and asks, "Would
you like lettuce in that sandwich?" Mrs. Johnson asks, "Is it well
washed?" Maggie replies that it is and asks if she'd like any
mayonaisse in her sandwich. Mrs. Johnson asks, "Is it fresh?"
Maggie assures her that it is and makes Mrs. Johnson her sandwich,
but Mrs. Johnson smells it, complains that the mayonaisse doesn't
smell fresh and asks that she make another one for her without
mayonaisse.
Mrs. Johnson is eating her sandwich and Maggie is keeping her
company, there being no one else in the diner. Mrs. Johnson remarks
on how lonely she is now that Bill Malloy is dead, that being his
housekeeper for all those years was almost like being married to him.
She tells Maggie that she wants to see whoever killed Malloy caught
and punished, that she wants and eye for an eye.
Elizabeth walks into the foyer and finds Carolyn in there putting
her coat on to go out. She asks her, "Have you seen Miss Winters?
She's supposed to be giving David his lessons, but I haven't seen
her all morning." Carolyn sarcastically remarks, "She's been seeing
a friend of the family." Elizabeth asks who. Carolyn replies, "Burke
Devlin", then asks, "Have you given any thought about hiring a
housekeeper?" Elizabeth angrily replies, "All my thoughts right now
are on firing a governess!" and goes upstairs.
Carolyn comes into the diner and Maggie goes to serve her. Maggie
tells Carolyn the apple pie is fresh. Carolyn orders pie and coffee
and sits down at Mrs. Johnson's table. She tells Mrs. Johnson, "What
you need is something to keep you busy. I may have the solution to
your problems!" She tells her she's spoken to her mother about hiring
her as housekeeper at Collinwood. Mrs. Johnson asks, "What did she
say?" Carolyn replies, "She's still thinking about it." Mrs. Johnson
tells Carolyn, "If she says yes, I'll take the job." Mrs. Johnson
finishes her meal and leaves, giving Maggie a 10 cent tip. Carolyn
announces to Maggie, "We're going to have a housekeeper!" Maggie
replies, "Who, her? I think she's creepy!" Carolyn jokes, "Oh, you
don't like her just because she's a 10 cent tipper." As Carolyn is
leaving, Maggie warns, "You just be careful about who's eyes she's
after..."
Elizabeth goes to Vicky's room and yells at her for having spent
the morning with Burke Devlin. Vicky explains that she didn't spend
the morning with him, that she ran into him at the diner and he
insisted on giving her a ride home. Elizabeth angrily asks, "And why
did you need a lift home? What were you doing in town? You were hired
to tutor David a specified number of hours a day on a daily basis,
not go into town whenever you wished." Vicky, shocked, asks, "Didn't
your brother tell you about it?" and explains that Roger told her
to take the morning off so he could give her a tour of the cannery.
Mrs. Johnson places a phone call to Burke Devlin and tell him,
"I've just been talking to Carolyn Stoddard. I think it's all going
to work out!"
In the drawing room at Collinwood, Elizabeth places a call to
Roger and asks him, "Did you give Miss Winters the morning off to
go to the cannery?... Why didn't you tell me?! I've just embarassed
myself by reprimanding her for being away!" After Elizabeth hangs
up, Vicky, who's walked into the room and heard the conversations,
angrily remarks, "Checking up on me?" Elizabeth explains, "No...
Just telling Roger he should've told me..", but Vicky, still angry,
tells her, "I'm not a liar!" Elizabeth tells her she's disturbed by
her tone of voice, but Vicky continues, "I've had enough of this!
Either fire me or begin trusting me!" Elizabeth apoligizes for
not trusting her, saying she was wrong and adds, "You don't know how
fond of you I've become."

Sam Evans goes to the police office. The sheriff asks him what
he wants. Sam replies, "Oh, nothing. I was just passing by and
decided I'd drop in and say hello." The sheriff replies, "What
took you so long? I've been expecting you to 'drop by' since 9:00
in the morning. You're slow. Roger Collins and Burke Devlin dropped
by a couple of hours ago." Sam asks what they wanted. The sheriff
replies, "The same thing you want. To know when the coroner's
report will come back." Sam asks, "When will it come back?" The
sheriff replies, "In a couple of hours."
In the drawing room at Collinwood, David asks Elizabeth, "Have
you fired Miss Winters? She didn't come to give me my lessons this
morning." He is disappointed when she tells him, "No, I haven't
fired her. Uncle Roger took her on a tour of the cannery this
morning." She continues, "David, you've got to learn to like Miss
Winters." David replies, "Learn to like her? You can't do that.
You either like someone or you don't." Elizabeth tells him, "But
David, you don't like anyone!" David retorts, "That's not true! I
like Burke Devlin!" Elizabeth tells him, "That's one person you
shouldn't like!" She tells him Burke is not a good man and he
shouldn't be friends with him. They get into an argument about Burke.
David shouts "You don't like Burke because you think he killed Mr.
Malloy!".
Sam asks the sheriff, "How do you think it'll go?" The sheriff
replies, "That's a question I've been asked all day long." He tells
Sam he refuses to speculate.
In the foyer at Collinwood, David places a telephone call to
Collinsport Inn and asks for Burke Devlin, but is told he isn't
in. Elizabeth comes walking into the foyer and asks, "David, who
are you calling?" At first, he refuses to tell her, but she presses
him and finally he admits, "I tried to call Burke Devlin. I had to
tell him you think he killed Mr. Malloy!" Elizabeth replies, "I
don't think that! What makes you think I did? No one killed Mr.
Malloy. It was an accident." She sends David up to his room, then
picks up the phone and calls the sheriff's office and asks when
the coroner's report will be back. She is told "quite soon".
Sam Evans goes to the diner at the Inn. Maggie asks him what he's
doing there. Sam replies, "Oh, just resting my feet." Maggie remarks,
"Better here than at the Blue Whale." She tells him the rumors around
town is that the coroner will return a decision of homicide.
At Collinwood, Elizabeth is talking to Roger on the phone about
the upcoming coroner's verdict. David comes down the stairs, dressed
to go out. Elizabeth asks where he's going. He replies, "To take a
walk and get some fresh air." Elizabeth tells him he can't. She tells
him to go back to his studies. David starts back up the stairs, but
when she turns back to the phone, he suddenly turns, runs back down
and out the front door. Elizabeth runs after him, screaming, "David!
Come back!", but he doesn't listen and runs off. A car pulls up.
It's the sheriff. He comes in and tell Elizabeth, "This is against
regulations, but I know how important this is and I thought I come
and tell you in person. The coroner's report has come back. He's
reached a decision of accidental death by drowning." Elizabeth gives
a sigh of relief and remarks, "So it's over." The sheriff replies,
"Yes, ma'am. It's over."
Sam and Maggie are in the diner talking. David comes in. Maggie
asks, "What do you want? Ice cream?" David replies, "No. I'm looking
for Burke Devlin, but he's not here. I asked the clerk to call his
room, but he's not up there." Maggie fixes him an ice cream sundae,
but David leaves before she can give it to him. Sam remarks,"Cute
kid, even if he is a Collins." He continues, "Even if the coroner
returns a verdict of accidental death, this isn't over." Maggie
asks him what he means. Sam tells her, "If the verdict isn't
'homicide', Burke Devlin's going to go on a rampage and won't stop
until there's nothing left, including the kid..."

Burke returns to the Collinsport Inn and goes to his hotel room.
He is surprised to find David inside waiting for him and asks him
how he got in there. David explains, "I snuck in while the maid was
cleaning in here and hid in a room she had already cleaned." Burke
tells him, "That's clever, David, but it IS illegal, you know."
David replies, "It's not illegal if you don't get caught!" Burke
asks, "Now who told you that?" David replies, "YOU did."
After getting a couple of "Burke Devlin specials", Burke tells
David, "I don't think I could ever have told you THAT!" David asks,
"Burke, have you ever killed anyone?" Burke replies, "No, not that
I can remember." David tells him, "Good. I knew you couldn't have
killed Bill Malloy. That's what I came to ask you." Burke asks,
Who thinks I killed Bill Malloy?" David replies, "My Aunt Elizabeth
does. She doesn't say so, she says it's an accident, but I know she
really thinks you killed him, that's why she doesn't like you!
But I know you couldn't have done it, because I know who did!
My father killed Mr. Malloy!"
Roger returns home and finds Elizabeth in the foyer. He exults,
"Accidental death! The coroner has come to a decision of accidental
death! You know, there were a lot of rumors that the decision would
be 'homicide'. There were even some people who thought I might have
had something to do with it! It's over. Life can now resume its
normal course." Elizabeth tells Roger about David's running off,
saying she thinks he might have gone to see Burke, but Roger refuses
to be concerned, saying, "Neither David nor Burke exists for me on
this glorious day!"
David tells Burke, "I knew it was my father who killed him on the
night Mr. Malloy disappeared." Burke asks, "How?" David is at first
reluctant to tell him, saying, "You'd laugh if I told you", but when
Burke promises not to, tells him, "THEY told me, the voices. They
come into my room and talk to me all the time. I also saw it in
my crystal ball." There's a knock at the door. Burke tells David to
go into the kitchen and freshen up the glasses while he answers it.
Burke opens the door. It's Carolyn. Burke tells her, "I'm busy, now,
Carolyn, I'm having a meeting." She tells him, "I want to talk
to you, Burke!" and barges in anyway. She looks around and sees no
one in the room, then looks at the closed bedroom door and remarks,
"Oh, a meeting, hun? It must be with a woman!" Burke remarks, "You
have a suspicious and salacious mind, Carolyn." Carolyn replies,
"I don't care who you have in here, but Vicky Winters might!"
Burke remarks, "Oh, that's what you're upset about." He calls out
to the kitchen, "Oh, honey, come in here for a minute!" David comes
out of the kitchen with the drinks. Carolyn asks, "What are you
doing here? You know Mother doens't doens't want you coming here!"
David retorts, "What are YOU doing here, then?" Burke laughs and
says, "Touche!" Burke tells David to go back into the kitchen,
telling him he'd like to talk to Carolyn alone. After David goes
back into the kitchen, Burke asks Carolyn, "You're upset because
I gave Vicky a ride back to Collinwood, isn't it? You're jealous!
Well, I don't have to account for my actions to you or anyone else!"
Carolyn angrily tells him, "I'm glad I gave your gift back. You're
not the kind of man I think I want to be accepting gifts from!"
Burke, puzzled, asks, "Gift?", then remembers and says, "Oh, yes,
the fountain pen." Carolyn remarks, "Yes, the pen. You can give it
to some other gullible girl now." Burke tells her, "But I don't
have it. You never gave it back to me." Carolyn replies, "Yes I
did. I gave it to my Uncle Roger. He said he'd give it to you. I
remember. It was the night Bill Malloy died." Burke replies, in
a sarcastic voice, "Maybe he had more important things on his mind
that night." Then he remembers and says, "Oh yes. He said he was
going to give it back to me at his office that night, but then
reached into his pocket and said he didn't have it." Carolyn goes
to phone Roger and ask him about it, but finds Roger isn't home,
getting Elizabeth instead. After she hangs up, she exclaims,
"Wonderful news! Mother just told me the coroner's come to a
decision. Accidental death!" Burke becomes furious and shouts,
"Get David and go home!" to Carolyn.
David and Carolyn return home. Elizabeth reprimands David for
running off. Carolyn, happy about the Coroner's decision, tells her
to go easy on David, saying "This is no time to be angry!" Elizabeth
tells her, "You sound like your Uncle Roger. He was exultant about
the decision too." Carolyn remarks, "Why not? Isn't everybody?"
David replies, "Not Mr. Devlin..."
Burke, furious at the decision, goes to the sheriff's office
and demands to know "what sort of unbalanced reasoning the coroner
could've used to come to such a decision." The sheriff repiles, "He
came to his decision using a simple study of the facts." Burke
sarcastically remarks, "I bet one of them was them was fact that
a decision of accidental death would take one of Collins family off
the hook, and that the Collins family provides over half the jobs in
this town..." The sherif denies this, and tells Burke he'd better
leave. Burke growls, "It not over! I've been fighting with gloves on
until now, but I'm taking them off now!" and stomps out of the
office.

Matthew is walking around the grounds. He finds Roger standing
on Widow's Hill. Roger remarks on how nice the day is and how
beautiful the ocean looks. He is in a very good mood.
Vicky walks down the stairs into the foyer. She is dressed in
a coat and is obviously going to go out. She runs into Carolyn in
the foyer. Carolyn asks, "Where are you going?" Vicky replies,"To
take a walk." Carolyn asks, "Can we talk first?" Carolyn tells
Vicky that the coroner's verdict has come back: accidental death
by drowining. Vicky asks, "Do you think that will satisfy Burke
Devlin?"
Roger tells Matthew, "I don't care if Burke Devlin is satisfied
with the decision or not". Matthew asks, "Is the coroner's decision
final?" Roger asks, "What do you mean?" Matthew replies, "What if
the sheriff doesn't agree with the coroner's decision? Would he
continue coming up here bothering everybody?" Roger jokes, "What if
he did, would you push him off a cliff like Bill Malloy?" Matthew
exclaims, "Don't talk like that!" Roger asks why. Matthew replies,
"If you joke like that about pushing people off cliffs, people might
get the wrong idea about you." Roger tells Matthew the sheriff won't
be up here investigating anymore.
Carolyn lends Vicky a scarf and asks her where she's going to
go. Vicky repiles, "I don't know yet. Maybe to the beach." Carolyn
finally answers Vicky's question, "No, I don't think Burke Devlin
will be satisfied with the decision. I was with him in his room when
he heard about it. He was furious." Vicky asks Carolyn if she'd like
to join her. Carolyn declines, saying she wants to talk to Roger.
She recommends to Vicky that she go to lookout point, saying the
view is beautiful there.
Vicky goes on her walk. She runs into Roger at Widow's Hill. He is
playfully tossing rocks into the ocean. He jokes, "I'm tossing all
my troubles into the sea." He takes a large stone, remarks, "This one
is Burke Devlin", tosses it into the ocean and says, "Goodbye,
Burke." Vicky asks, "How do you get to Lookout Point?" Roger asks,
"Why do you want to know?" Vicky explains that Carolyn recommended
the view there. Roger asks, "Don't you know that's where Bill Malloy
died?" Vicky replies, "I thought they didn't know exactlly where he
died." Roger tells her, "That's one of the possible places."
Carolyn is talking to Joe Haskell on the phone. She tells him,
"Why is everyone worrying about what Burke Devlin thinks? He can't
do anything." Roger returns. Carolyn hugs him joyfully and tells him
how happy she is about the coroner's report. He tells her he thinks
it's great too, adding, "I can't believe that anyone believed it
was homicide. Even worse, I can't believe that anyone for even a
moment thought I had anything to do with it!" Carolyn remarks, "But
there is something you have. Something valuable..."
Vicky is walking along the beach, bending over occasionally to
pick up an interesting shell.
Carolyn reminds Roger about the fountain pen Burke had given her,
reminding him that he had taken it on the night Bill Malloy died,
saying he was going to give it to Burke Devlin. She tells him, "I
talked to Burke, and he told me you never gave it to him. He told
me you told him you were going to give it back to him at the office
that night, but when you reached into your pocket, it wasn't there.
I hope you haven't lost it." Roger tells her not to worry, that it's
probably in the house somewhere and will turn up. Carolyn asks,
"Did you go directly from the house to the office that night?"
Roger replies that he did. Carolyn remarks, "Then you probably did
lose it in the house."
Vicky sees something shiny on the beach. She bends down and picks
it up. It is a shiny, filigreed silver fountain pen. It looks just
like the one Burke gave Carolyn.
Carolyn and Roger are searching for the pen, turning over cushions
in the drawing room, etc. Matthew Morgan comes in through the front
door. Carolyn goes to him and asks, "Matthew, have you seen a silver
fountain pen lying around?" He replies that he hasn't. When Carolyn
comes back into the drawing room, Roger angrily asks, "Did you have
to tell Matthew about the pen? I'd rather this stay between you and
me!" Carolyn is puzzled about why he would be angry about this.
Matthew, who's gone outside, comes back in and tells them, "Mr.
Devlin's car has just pulled up the drive..." Roger remarks,
"Well, that's then end of our happy day." He tells Matthew, "Better
go get my sister." Matthew goes upstairs. There's a knock at the
door.

Roger opens the door and Burke comes in. He tells Roger, "I'd
like to see Mrs. Stoddard." Roger replies, "I don't know where she
is." Burke replies, "Well, I know she must be around here somewhere.
She hasn't left here in 18 years." Roger asks, "What do you want?"
Burke replies, "I've come here for something I've waited 10 years
for. I came for Collinwood!"
Roger, shocked, asks, "Do you think we'd just hand it over to
you?" Burke replies, "Your sister may have no choice." Roger turns
to Carolyn and tells her, "That Matthew is impossible. See if you
can find your mother."
Carolyn opens the door to look for Elizabeth outside and runs
into her coming in. She tells her that Burke Devlin is here and
says he wants Collinwood. Elizabeth growls, "I'll take care of him!"
and goes inside.
Inside the drawing room, Burke tells Roger, "You should've spent
those five years in prison, not me!" Roger replies, "You have not
one iota of proof of your accusations!" Burke retorts, "Bill Malloy
found something. I'll find it too!" Elizabeth comes into the room.
Burke tells her, "I want to buy Collinwood!" She asks, "Now why
would you want to buy such a dreary place?" He replies, "Oh, I
don't know. Maybe I want to start a dynasty. Maybe I just think the
portrait Sam is painting of me would look good over the mantelpiece."
Elizabeth tells him, "Well, it doesn't really matter why you want to
buy it. Collinwood's not for sale." Burke asks, "Even if I were
willing to pay more than it's worth?" Roger, an interested look
suddenly appearing on his face, asks, "More than it's worth?"
Vicky returns and finds Carolyn standing in the foyer. Carolyn
gestures toward the closed drawing room doors and tells "Don't go
in there. Burke Devlin is in there." She adds, "Mother was right
about him..."
Roger tells Elizabeth, "I think you should sell it if he's willing
to offer more than it's worth." Elizabeth replies again that it's
not for sale. Roger asks, "Why? You said just a moment ago that it
was a dreary house. We could take the money and build another house."
Elizabeth replies that it's part of the family history, that she's
going to keep it so she can hand it down to David and hope he feels
the same way about it. Roger asks Burke to leave the room so he can
speak to Elizabeth alone.
Burke goes out into the foyer. Carolyn and Vicky argue with him,
accusing him of trying to buy the house just out of spite.
Roger tries to argue Elizabeth into selling the house, but with
no success. He remarks, "But it'd be worth it just to get Burke off
our backs!" Elizabeth, "Why are you so afraid of Burke?" and refuses
to sell. She opens the drawing room doors and announces, "Everyone
come in here. I want everyone to hear what I have to say." Burke,
Carolyn and Vicky come in. Elizabeth tells Burke, in a tone of
finality, "Collinwood is not for sale!" Burke replies, "I just
thought I'd come here to see if we could do this the easy way. I'm
going to get Collinwood one way or another. Not just that, but I'm
going to take over everyting you own, the fleet, the cannery,
everything!" Elizabeth remarks, "There's no way you can do that!"
Burke replies, "On the contrary, you'll find there's nothing you can
do to stop me!" Elizabeth tells Burke, "I'm tired of you coming here
and trying to stir up trouble. You've been accusing us of using
Collins money and influence against you. Up till now, that
hasn't been true. But now, I'm going to start. If you want a fight,
you'll get one. I'm going to hire the best lawyers money can buy.
After I'm finished with you, you'll know you've been in a fight!"
Burke replies, "Oh, I'm sure I will", in a tone of voice that seems
to indicate that he looks forward to the upcoming battle. He turns
to leave and starts out drawing room doors. Carolyn, who still seems
attracted to him in spite of everything, runs up to him and asks,
"Didn't forget to say something?" He asks, "What?" She replies,
"Goodbye." He tells her, "Sorry. You're a Collins too." Carolyn
runs to Elizabeth in tears. Burke turns to Vicky and asks, "And where
do you stand?" Vicky gestures toward the Collins and says, "With
them." Burke remarks, "Well, I hope you don't get your pretty little
feet muddy." and leaves.

It is sometime later. Elizabeth is the drawing room along.
Carolyn comes in and tells her, "I've been doing a lot of
thinking about Burke Devlin. When he introduced me to Blair,
he told me that he was an old swindler who was in cahoots with
him to defraud him of all his money. Of course, he said it in a
way which made it sound like he was joking, but now, I'm not so
sure..." She tells her mother she was ashamed she was ever attracted
to Burke. Carolyn mentions that the last time she went to Burke's
hotel room, she found David there. Elizabeth asks Carolyn to get
David so she can straighten him out about Burke Devlin too.
Upstairs in David's room, Matthew is fixing one of David's
drawers. David shows Matthew a photograph of Burke Devlin at his
first oil strike. He tells Matthew Burke let him borrow it. Carolyn
comes in and tells David Elizabeth wants to talk to him.
Elizabeth tells David, "Burke has declared war on the Collins
family. He's not a friend David." David refuses to listen, saying
"He IS a friend." Elizabeth tells him, "Friends don't come up here
and threaten to take over the house, the fishing fleet, the cannery,
everything we own. You can only be on one side, David. Either you're
with me or against me." David replies that he's "for her".
Up in David's room, Carolyn is looking around David's desk,
probably looking for the fountain pen Roger lost. As she is doing so,
she finds the picture of Burke Devlin. Matthew asks, "Looking for
something?" Carolyn replies, "A photo." Matthew asks, "One of Burke
Devlin?" Carolyn lies, "No." Matthew remarks, "David had one. He
said Mr. Devlin let him 'borrow' it." He asks her to talk to
David about Devlin, saying, "Devlin's trying to harm Mrs. Stoddard."
Carolyn replies, "More than that, he's trying to harm the whole
family". She tells him about Burke's threat to take over everything
the family owns.
Elizabeth asks David to promise her that he'll never see Burke
Devlin again. David refuses, saying, "NO! He's the only friend
I've got!"
David goes up to his room and finds Carolyn going through his
drawers and asks, "Hey! What are you doing?" Carolyn shows her the
picture of Burke and says, "You stole this, didn't you?" David denies
this, saying he borrowed it. Carolyn asks, "Does he know you borrowed
it?" David admits, "No.", but claims, "He'd want me to have it!"
Carolyn exclaims, "Then you stole it, then. Let's see what else
you've 'borrowed'!" and continues to go through his drawers. David
exclaims, "You're just jealous because he gave it to me!" Carolyn
retorts, "No I'm not. Anyway, he gave me a much more expensive
present!"
Matthew comes downstairs and tells Elizabeth Carolyn and David
are fighting upstairs. Elizabeth asks, "What about?" Matthew replies,
"Burke Devlin. I think it's part of his plan. He's setting one
member of the family against another. He gave Carolyn an expensive
gift." Elizabeth asks, "What?", but Matthew replies, "I don't know."
Matthew leaves the room. A few moments later, David and Carolyn come
in. David complains, "She was going through my things! She took
took something of mine!" Elizabeth asks, "What?" David pauses,
reluctant to say what, but finally says, "A picture of Burke."
Elizabeth tells David, "I don't want to ever hear you mention that
name again!" David leaves the room and starts up the stairs. When
he is halfway up, he exclaims, defiantly but quietly so that
Elizabeth cannot hear him from the drawing room, "BURKE DEVLIN!
BURKE DEVLIN! BURKE DEVLIN!"

It is nighttime. Roger, dressed in a bathrobe, telephones Sam
Evans from the phone in the foyer. They make an appointment to meet
at the Blue Whale. Roger warns Sam, "I don't want it to look like
we planned to meet each other. We've got to make it look like an
accidental meeting." Vicky comes down the stairs into the foyer.
She remarks to Roger that she's going to the library to get a book
to read. Roger remarks, "You do a lot of reading. You must be bored
and have nothing else to do. I've promised to take you out sometime,
but never have. Tell you what. We have this place called "The Blue
Whale..." Vicky replies, "I know. I've been there." Roger,
surprised, asks, "With who?" Vicky at first is reluctant to tell him,
but finally says, "Burke Devlin." Roger asks, "Burke Devlin? Why did
you go there with him?" Vicky replies, "He had a report on me. I
wanted to know what was in it." Roger asks, "A report on you?"
Vicky replies, "Yes, on what I was doing here at Collinwood. There
wasn't anything in it I already didn't know."
At the Blue Whale, Sam is sitting at a table with Maggie. Joe
Haskell comes in and sits down at the bar. Maggie sees that Joe
looks rather downcast and remarks,"There goes a sad sack if I ever
saw one." She suggests to Sam that he go and invite Joe to join
them. Sam does. Joe comes and sits down at their table. Asked what's
wrong, Joe replies that he was stood up. Maggie remarks, "Don't
worry about it. It happens in the best of families." Joe replies,
"But this is THE family..." Maggie remarks, in and exaggerated
voice, "you mean THE COLLINSES OF COLLINSPORT !!" They all laugh.
Joe leaves to make a phone call. Maggie remarks to Sam, "He's
a nice guy", in a tone that indicates that she's attracted to
him." Sam replies, "No, Maggie. You'll just get hurt..."
The phone rings at Collinwood. Vicky, now dressed to go out,
answers it. Joe asks if Carolyn is there. Vicky replies that she
isn't, that she left in her car a while ago. Joe asks Vicky if she
know where Carolyn went. Vicky replies that she doesn't. Joe comes
back to the table and tells them, "No luck." Maggie remarks, "Maybe
you should try some new tactics." Joe replies, "Maybe I should try a
new girl." Maggie's eyes light up. Joe asks, "Why don't we dance?"
They dance.
Roger and Vicky come into the Blue Whale and sit down at another
table. Sam sees them and, pretending to be surprised to see Roger
there, remarks, "Oh, there's Roger Collins. There's something I've
been wanting to talk to him about. Now's as good a time as any."
He goes to Roger and Vicky's table and says he'd like to speak
to Roger privately. Vicky tells Roger, "That's all right, I'll go
talk to Joe and Maggie."
Roger asks Sam, "You wrote everything you know about the accident
in that letter, didn't you?" Sam replies that he did. Roger tells
it's dangerous to have a letter like that around and tells him that
he should get it back and destroy it, saying, "What if something
should happen to you and it fell into the wrong hands?" Sam replies,
"That's exactly why I wrote it. To keep something from happening to
me. If Bill Malloy had written a letter, he might still be alive",
implying that he thinks Roger had something to do with Malloy's
death in spite of the coroner's report.
Roger goes to the other table to get Vicky. He tells her, "Let's
go. I have a headache. I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Vicky
replies, "No, we were just talkling." Roger, in a very bad mood
because of his failure to get Sam to destroy the letter,
sarcastically remarks, "about what?" He looks at Joe and says, "
"The price of fish?", then looking at Maggie, "Or the price of
hash?" Joe, furious, jumps up out of his seat and exclaims, "Now
look, Mr. Collins, I don't mind so much that you insult me, but
you can't insult Maggie like that!" Roger apoligizes, saying,
"I'm sorry. I have a headache. I didn't mean to say that.", but
Joe remains angry.
Roger and Vicky return to Collinwood. Roger apolizes to Vicky
about what happened at the Blue Whale then tells her, "We should
go out more often." Vicky replies, "Maybe I'll have more time after
your sister hires the housekeeper." Roger, who hasn't been told
anything about this, asks, "Housekeeper?" Vicky explains, "Yes.
She's thinking about hiring Bill Malloy's housekeeper Mrs. Johnson."

Mrs. Johnson goes to Burke's hotel room, having been called by
him and been asked to go there. She tells him she is shocked by
the coroner's report that Bill Malloy's death was an accident.
Burke warns her not to give any indication of that to anyone but
him so that a certain person doesn't hear about it as it may cause
her not to be hired at Collinwood. He tells her he has two goals.
One, to take over Collinwood and everything else the Collins Family
owns, and the second to avenge Bill Malloy's death. The phone rings.
Burke answers it and listens for awhile. After he hangs up, he
tells Mrs. Johnson that he's just been told that Roger Collins and
Sam Evans were at the Blue Whale last night where they were arguing
about something. They find this suspicious.
Sam and Maggie are at the diner. Sam asks Maggie if there's been
much talk about Bill Malloy lately. Maggie replies that the talk
has died down ever since the coroner's report came back that it was
accidental death. Maggie remarks, "Why are you so worried about it?"
Sam gets angry, claiming he isn't worried about anything.
Burke tells Mrs. Johnson, "What I'm interested in in everything
Roger Collins does - everywhere he goes, every phone call he makes."
They discuss the members of the Collins family. Burke tells her that
the hiring of the governess, Vicky Winters, is very mysterious, that
he checked into her background and could find no reason why
Elizabeth would hire her from New York. Mrs. Johnson replies that
she doesn't find that mysterious at all, that she thinks Elizabeth
would prefer a stranger from far away who knows nothing about the
Collinses rather than someone from town. Burke tells her, "Today
it's Maggie's day to work at the diner. Her father usually has
breakfast there on those days. I'm going to go down and try to find
out what he and Roger were talking about!" Mrs. Johnson remarks,
"I haven't had breakfast either." Burke warns her, "Remember, you
and I don't like each other." Mrs. Johnson leaves. The phone rings.
Burke answers. It's Blaie. Burke tells him, "I want you to get into
position to buy the mortgage on Collinwood. I want to arrange it
so that the Collinses are going to suddenly need a large sum of
money soon."
Mrs. Johnson goes down to the diner, sits down at a table and
orders "vegetable juice. Whole wheat toast and a cup of coffee."
A few minutes later, Burke enters the diner too. He sits down at
the counter next to Sam and orders a cup of coffee. He asks Sam,
"Happy about the verdict that the coroner came up with?" Sam
replies, "Yes. No one had anything to do with Bill Malloy's death.
It was an accident." Hearing this, Mrs. Johnson suddenly comes up
to the counter and exclaims, "Oh yes, someone did! And that person
is sitting right here at the counter. BURKE DEVLIN!" She continues,
"Oh, I don't say he pushed him off that cliff, but it was his
coming back here and stirring up trouble that caused it!" Suddenly,
David Collins, who's come into the diner, angrily shouts, "NO!
THAT"S NOT TRUE! IT"S NOT BURKE'S FAULT!" Burke takes David out into
the lobby aand him what he's doing there. David tells him he came
her to talk to him.
Inside the diner, Mrs. Johnson reiterates to Sam and Maggie that
she doesn't like Burke Devlin because she blames his actions for
Bill Malloy's death.
Up in Burke's room, David tells Burke, "Aunt Elizabeth said
you were going to steal Collinwood from us. Is that true?" Burke
replies, "No, Davey. I'm going to buy it. Remember, you yourself
asked me if I could buy it so we could play there together all
the time!" This seems to satisfy David. They talk about some other
things. While they are talking, David wanders over to the dresser
and puts the picture he "borrowed" when Burke isn't looking.
He remarks,"AUut Elizabeth is going to hire that mean old Mrs.
Johnson to watch over me." Burke tells David, "Mrs. Johnson didn't
really mean what she said in there. She's just very upset. She
doesn't have anything to look forward to now that Mr. Malloy is
dead." He adds, "And she's probably not hiring her to watch you.
It's a big house and she just needs help with it." David shows Burke
the photo and admits, "I 'borrowed' this, but Carolyn says I stole
it." Burke replies, "Steal it?! You couldn't have stolen it. I
meant for you to have this all along. You can't steal something
that's yours" and gives the photo back to David.
Burke brings David back down to the diner. David apoligizes to
Mrs. Johnson.

Roger is walking around the drawing room at Collinwood. He is
muttering to himself, "Let's see, I took the pen from Carolyn that
evening. Later, she came back down and I took it out of my pocket
and offered to give it back to her, but she told me she didn't
want it back and I put it back into my pocket..." Suddenly, he
notices Vicky standing in the doorway looking at him. He nervously
asks her, "Oh, you're probably wondering what I was doing." She
replies, "Oh, I know what you were doing." Shocked at her answer,
he asks, "What?" She jokes, "You were practicing a new dance!"
Relieved, he tells her, "No. I was just trying to remember something,
but it wasn't very important. Vicky asks, "I'm looking for David,
Do you know where he is?" Roger replies, "I got a call that he was
seen at the diner with Burke Devlin, but when I got there, he wasn't
there any longer. I don't know where he is now." He asks, "Do you
know anything more about my sister's plans to hire Mrs. Johnson as
a housekeeper? I don't think I like the idea." Elizabeth, who's
heard this from the foyer, comes in and says, sternly, "Roger, I'm
the one who makes the decision on who works here, not you!" Vicky
leaves. Roger asks, "What do you need a housekeeper for?" Elizabeth
replies so that it's so she can have more time to be with David
becaues she thinks it's important who he's influenced by. Roger,
in a sarcastic tone, asks her, "If you're so careful about who
David spends his time with, how come he was at the diner with Burke
Devlin a few hours ago?"
Vicky goes up to her room. Carolyn comes in and tells her about
her problems with Joe, saying that she missed her dinner date with
him last night and he hasn't called him since. Vicky suggests that
she call him.
Carolyn comes downstairs and runs into Roger in the foyer. Roger
asks, "Are you sure you gave that pen back to me?" Carolyn replies,
"Yes, it was the night Bill Malloy died. I wouldn't have forgotten
it. Now you told me you went to the office after that, so if you
didn't lose it in the house, you lost it somewhere on the way."
Roger replies, "Hmm.. Somewhere on the way..."
Roger goes to lookout point, bends over and starts to loook
carefully at the beach...
Carolyn runs into Vicky's room and ecstatically tells her that
she took her suggestion and called Joe and that they've patched
everything up. Elizabeth comes in and tells Vicky she'd like to
talk to Carolyn.
Vicky goes downstairs. There's a knock at the door. Vicky
answers. It's Joe. Vicky tells him Carolyn will be down in a
minute. He asks, "You haven't told her about seeing me with Maggie
last night, have you? She might not understand." Vicky repiles that
she hasn't and assures him she won't. Elizabeth comes down. Seeing
Joe, she tells him she'd like to talk to him privately. She takes
him into the drawing room and closes the doors. Roger returns.
He lies to Vicky, "I haven't been able to find David", implying that
he's been out looking for him. He sees the closed drawing room doors
and asks, "Is anyone in there?" Vicky replies that Elizabeth and
Joe are. She hints to Roger that he shouldn't tell Carolyn about
seeing Joe with Maggie last night.
Inside the drawing room, Elizabeth asks Joe, "What are your plans
for the future?" Joe replies that he wants to buy his own boat and
start working for himself. He adds, "Oh, no offense to you, Mrs.
Stoddard. I'm not unhappy working for you. It's just that I'd prefer
to be independent. Of course, I could continue doing work for you
on a contract basis." Roger comes in. Elizabeth tells him, "I was
just trying to persuade Joe to stay with us." She tells Joe that
she thinks it would be better for him to stay with them, that
now with Bill Malloy dead, he'll be promoted, that she thinks he
can go farther faster that way than if he struck out on his own.
She adds, "And with a better position, you'd be able to marry
Carolyn." Roger, who doesn't seem to like the idea, remarks, "Maybe
she doesn't want to marry him." This upsets Elizabeth and she tells
him to leave the room and let her talk to Joe alone.
Roger goes out into the foyer. Carolyn comes down. Roger gestures
toward the closed drawing room doors and tells her, "You don't want
to go in there. Your mother is trying to bribe Joe Haskell into
marrying you." She asks, "You're joking, aren't you?" He replies,
"No.", then asks, "You can't be serious about marrying a fisherman,
can you?" She asks, "What's wrong with that?" Roger maliciously
replies, "Well, to a fisherman, there's more than one fish in the
sea. He was with one of these other fish last night. I saw him
dancing with Maggie Evans last night at the Blue Whale. You can ask
Vicky. She was there too." and leaves.
Joe and Elizabeth come out into the foyer. Elizabeth says to
Joe, "Too bad I couldn't convince you to take my offer." Joe
replies, "I'll marry Carolyn, but on my own terms." Carolyn
angrily tells Elizabeth, "I will not be bought and sold like a
piece of meat!" She turns to Joe and says, "And you, you can take
your precious independence and be independent without me!" and runs
upstairs.
Carolyn goes into Vicky's room and angrily asks, "Why didn't you
tell me you saw Joe with Maggie on a date last night?" Vicky
explains that it's not what she thinks, that Joe and Maggie were not
on a date, that Maggie was in there her father and Joe came in and
that there wasn't anything romantic about their dance. Carolyn calms
down and tells Vicky, "Mother offered Joe a wonderful opportunity
for advancement but he turned it down. He still wants his own boat."
In a disappointed voice, she adds "It would've meant we would've
been able to marry me. I think I'll go down to Lookout Point and
take a walk." Carolyn leaves. Vicky goes to her desk, sits down and
picks up a fountain pen and tries to write on a piece of paper with
it.
Joe tells Elizabeth, "I'm sure Carolyn will calm down" and
leaves. Roger comes into the foyer. Elizaebeth asks him to go
upstairs and get Carolyn, saying she wants to talk to her.
Roger goes upstairs to look for Carolyn. He goes to Vicky's room
and asks Vicky if she knows where she is. Vicky replies that she's
gone to take a walk on Lookout Point. Roger replies, "Lookout Point?
Isn't that where Bill Malloy died? Why go there?" Vicky replies
him, "It's not always bad luck there." She hands him the pen and
tells him, "Look what I found there the other day." Roger is
shocked. It is the pen Burke gave Carolyn. He asks, "You found
this at Lookout Point?" Vicky replies, "Yes. Pretty, isn't it. But
it isn't good without any ink." She takes the pen and leaves the
room, apparently to go to the study, where Carolyn told her in an
earlier episode there was a big bottle of ink, to fill it.

Matthew Morgan goes into the Collinport Inn diner for a cup of
coffee. He notices Burke Devlin sitting at a table and sits down
at it. Burke asks, "What do you want?" Matthew replies, "To talk
to you." Burke remarks, "The last time you talked to me, you ended
up with your big paws around my throat." Matthew apoligizes for
that, saying it was uncalled for, but Burke tells him, "I'd rather
you sit at another table." Matthew, however, does not leave, but
asks, "You have all the money you'll ever need. Why do you want
Collinwood too?" He adds, "Mrs. Stoddard would never sell
Collinwood." Burke replies, "Everything has a price." Matthew
threans, "Collinwood will burn to the ground before you live in
it!", but Burke merely replies, "It'll make a nice fire. I'd
enjoy seeing it..." After Matthew leaves, Burke calls Mrs. Johnson
to find how things are going. She tells him she's going to have
an inteview with Elizabeth today. Burke tells her to call him when
it's over and tell him how it went.
Matthew returns to Collinwood and tells Elizabeth about running
into Burke. She tells him, "I'd prefer it if you'd stay away from
Devlin." She assures him, "I'll do my best to assure that Devlin
doesn't hurt any of us."
Matthew is clipping the hedges. A taxi pulls up at Collinwood.
Elizabeth answers the door. It's Mrs. Johnson. Elizabeth takes
her into the drawing room. During the interview, Elizabeth stresses
that their privacy is important. Mrs. Johnson replies, "I'm no
gossip, Mrs. Stoddard. In the 20 years I worked for Mr. Malloy,
I never repeated a word he said in his house to a soul." After the
interview, Elizabeth shows Mrs. Johnson the house, then tells her,
"I'll call you when I've come to a decision." Seeing that Mrs.
Johnson had come by taxi, she asks Matthew to drive her back into
town.
Matthew drives Mrs. Johnson to the diner, where she had told him
she wanted to have lunch. In the diner, Matthew voices some doubt
about whether he likes her working for the Collinses. Mrs. Johnson,
tells him, "Is it my loyalty you're worried about? Well, there's no
need to worry about that. I'll be as loyal to them as Bill Malloy
was." But after Matthew leaves, she calls Burke's room and tells
him, "I've just been to Collinwood and I'd like to come up and
see you."
Up in Burke's room, Burke asks, "So you've got the job?" Mrs.
Johnson replies, "Not yet. She said she'd think about it." Burke
gets angry and asks, "What did you do to louse it up? It was all
set up!" Mrs. Johnson replies, "Nothing! Mrs. Stoddard is just
a woman who likes to think things over. Mr. Devlin, I don't like
your tone of voice, and I don't think I like you!" Burke
apolizgizes, saying he got overwroght because this is very important
to him. He tells her, "Go back home and wait for Elizabeth's call.
Me, I'll be going to take a walk to Lookout Point." Mrs. Johnson
asks, "Lookout Point? Why?" Burke replies, "To look for clues,
just as you'll be doing at Colinwood!"
Matthew returns to Collinwood. Elizabeth asks Matthew whether
he thinks she should hire Mrs. Johnson. Her tone of voice makes
it clear that she's ambivalent. Matthew replies, "I'm sure whatever
decision you come to, it'll be for the best." Elizabeth thinks for
a moment, then telephones Mrs. Johnson and tells her, "I've come to
a decision, Mrs. Johnson. I want to start working for us as soon as
it's convenient. Call when you're ready and I'll have Matthew come
up and pick up you and your things." She hangs up and remarks,
"Well, that's done. I hope I haven't made a mistake."

Vicky is trying to give David his math lessons in his room, but
David is preoccupied staring into his crystal ball. Vicky remarks,
"You won't see the answers in that." David replies, "I saw who
see who killed Bill Malloy in there.." Vicky tells him, "No one
killed Bill Malloy. It was an accident." David insists that Bill
Malloy was murdered. Vicky remarks, "You're the only one who
believes that!" David retorts, "How about Burke Devlin? He knows
my father killed him and he's going to prove it!"
Burke Devlin walks into the diner and sees the sheriff in there
sitting at a table reading a paperback book. Burke asks,
"Interesting book?" The sheriff jokes, "It's a detective story. I
guess you could call it educational - for me!" Burke sits down at
his table. The sheriff asks, "What do you want?" Burke replies,
"Oh, nothing. I just walked to Lookotu Point and back and want to
rest my feet." The sheriff asks, "Lookout Point? Why?" Burke
replies, "Have you considered that maybe whoever killed Bill Malloy
might have lost something there, that maybe he had something in his
pocket and dropped it there? Something like a fountain pen?"
The sheriff replies, "We searched Lookout point thoroughly and
found nothing but half a dozen empty beer cans." Burke asks,
"Did you search the beach below?" The sheriff replies that they
didn't, explaining, "There was no need to. There was a high tide
that night and no exposed beach." Burke theorizes, "Well, there
was a heavy rain after that. Maybe it got dropped on Lookout Point
and washed down afterwards!" The sheriff replies that that's
unlikely. Burke exclaims, "But it's a possibility!, but the sheriff
refuses to discuss the matter further, saying emphatically, "The
case is closed!"
David tells Vicky he is almost finished with his problems.
Vicky tells him his math is very poor and she has another set for
him when he is finished. David exclaims, "What am I, a slave?"
Curious, he asks, "Let me see them." He grabs the book where Vicky
keeps his lesson to see. When he opens the book, a pen drops out
onto the floor. He picks it up. It is the silver filigree pen.
David remarks, "Cool!" and asks, "Where did you get it?" Vicky
replies, "I found it."
Burke is still sitting at the sheriff's table. The sheriff,
looking very irritated, remarks, "Interestion book I'm reading.
It's about a policeman who tries to sit down for a quiet cup of
coffee, but a man comes and keeps pestering him. Finally, the
policeman gets sick of him and throws him out the window..."
But Burke continues , "Roger Collins had a silver filigree
fountain pen when he was home that night. He didn't have it when
he got to the office! It just came to me this morning that that
must mean he dropped it on his way to the office!" The sheriff
nonchantly replies, "Or at the house." Burke asks, "Aren't you
going to ask him about it?" The sheriff replies, "No! The case is
closed! I'm not going to reopen it just because of your harebrained
theories about fountain pens!"
Vicky is correcting David's work and tells him, "No, David,
8 x 8 is 64, not 65." David replies, "Well, that's close." Vicky
tells him, "In, math, close isn't good enough. You've got to be
perfect!" David starts to admire her pen again. Roger comes in
and sees them not working. He remarks, "Is this how you tutor
my son, Miss Winters?" Vicky explains, "I was just showing David
this pen I found. You know, I was thinking, maybe I should put
an ad in the paper to see if anyone lost it." Roger quickly replies,
"No, I don't think that'll be necessary. It probably fell off a
passing pleasure craft and was washed ashore. Consider it a gift
from the sea." The phone rings downstairs and Roger turns to leave -
holding the pen - but as he gets to the door, David exclaims,
"Father! Miss Winter's pen!" Roger replies, "Oh, yes.." and gives
it back to her.
Roger answers the phone. It's Burke Devlin. Burke tells him he
wants him to meet him at the diner in 10 minutes. Roger refuses,
saying he doesn't want to talk to him. He tells Burke, "You can
wait 10 hours if you want. I not coming to talk to you!" Burke
insists, saying, "I want something of mine that you have." Roger
asks, "What?" Burke repliees, "My fountain pen!"
Roger meets Burke at the diner. Burke remarks, "Good time. Only
9 minutes and 28 seconds." He asks for his fountain pen. Roger
replies, "I don't have it. I must have lost it." Burke bellows,
"YOU LOST IT? WHERE?" Roger replies, "Calm down, Burke. It's only
a fountain pen. I'll buy you another one." But Burke, not calming
down, continues, "You know where I think you lost it, Roger, I
think you lost it at Lookout Point. I think that 10:30 phone call
of yours that night was to Bill Malloy, that you asked him to meet
you at Lookout Point, that you dropped the pen when you met and
killed him there!" Roger replies, "That's preposterous. The police
searched the place. They found nothing!" Burke admits that there
wasn't anything there, but confidently says, "Someone must have
found it, someone who doesn't know what he has, but sooner or
later, he'll realize what it means and everything will start
tumbling down on your head!"
At Collinwood, David continues to admire the pen, saying, "It
must be worth $1000 ! (About $6000 in 1995 money). Vicky replies,
"It's valuable, but it can't be worth THAT much." Vicky, who's been
correcting David's paper, tells him, "Better. Only two mistakes
this time. You know, if you continue to do your lessons hard,
maybe I'll give you that pen some day." Roger comes in and asks
Vicky, "When you've finished with David's lessons, could you come
down to the drawing room? I'd like to talk to you."
Vicky goes down to talk to Roger. He tells her, "That phone
call I came down to answer. It was from Burke Devlin. He made
another threat against us. Vicky, it's going to get dangerous
around here. I really think it's best if you left before it did.
That offer I gave you of a job with friends in Florida's still
open..." But Vicky refuses, saying she'd prefer to stay at
Collinwood. David comes into the room and excitedly tells Vicky,
"Miss Winters! I have the answer!" While they're talking, Roger
leaves the room and goes up the stairs.
David tells Vicky, "You found the pen at Lookout Point!" Vicky,
surprised, asks, "How did you know?" David replies, "I looked in
my crystal ball like you told me to. I saw it in there!" Vicky
remarks, "Oh, it's proabably a lucky guess!"
Roger goes into David's room, a sneaky look on his face. He
takes Vicky's pen, which is lying on top of a book on the desk,
puts it into his pocket and leaves.

Roger exits Collilnwood by the front doors.
Vicky goes back upstairs and goes into David's room to get her
pen on the desk but can't find it. David comes into his room. Vicky
asks him if he's seen her pen. David tells her, "It was right there",
pointing to a book, "I used it when I was looking in the crystal
ball and left it right there." Vicky points out, "Well, it's not
there now." They look around the room for it.
Outside, Roger moves a large rock about the size of loaf of
bread, digs a hole, buries the pen, and puts the rock back over it.
Vicky and David have no sucess in finding the pen. David remarks,
"Maybe the Widows took it." Vicky replies, "That's ridiculous. I
think YOU took it. You have a habit of 'borrowing' things." David
angrily denies taking it. They start to argue.
Roger comes back into Collinwood and hears the sound of arguing
upstairs.
Vicky and David are arguing in the hallway outside David's room.
Roger comes up and asks what's wrong. They tell him. He orders them
to stop bickering. He asks David, "Did you take Miss Winters' pen?"
David replies that he didn't. Roger tells Vicky, "If my son says he
didn't take it, he didn't take it. His word is good enough for me,
it should be good enough for you." Vicky is shocked.
Maggie is reading the newspaper at the diner, there being no
customers at the moment. Joe Haskell comes in and starts talking
to her about his problems with Carolyn.
Later, Roger summons Vicky to the drawing room. He apoligizes to
her for what he said to her earlier, saying he hopes she didn't take
it wrong. She tells him, "Yes, I did find it strange that David
steals my property and you would get angry with ME!" He tells her
he had a reason for it. He asks, "You do want to get closet to
David, don't you?" She replies that she would. He continues, "Well,
I didn't think it would be good for you to accuse him of stealing
if you wanted to get closer to him. Anyway, after all that fuss,
David will insist he didn't take the pen and make sure the it never
shows up again. I'll buy you another pen." Vicky, shocked at Roger's
reasoning, gasps, "It's not that, it's the principle...", but Roger
continues, "Now, I think it would be better if you never mentioned
this again, to anyone."
At the diner, Maggie and Joe continue to talk. Maggie gives her
opinion of Elizabeth, "You can call her eccentric if you want, but
I think she's off her rocker locking herself in Collinwood for 18
years. I was up there a little while ago, and I got the creeps just
being in the entrance hall and the sitting room." Joe remarks,
"That's nothing. Most of the ghosts live in the closed up part of
the house." A customer comes in. Joe remarks, "Well, I see you've
got a customer. Me, I've got to get back to work." Maggie invites
him to come have dinner with her and her father at the cottage
tonight. Joe replies, "Love to, but I don't know if I'll be free
tonight." Maggie tells him to drop by if he is.
Roger goes to David's room. He gives him a fountain pen, an
ordinary black one. David asks, "What's this for?" Roger explains,
"I'd like to keep the peace between you and Miss Winters. Sometimes
adults get angry and say things they don't really mean. I'm sure
Miss Winters didn't really mean to accuse you of stealing her pen.
I want to keep the peace between you and her. Keep this pen. Forget
the other one and never talk about it again." David protests, "But
Miss Winters will, she'll keep saying I stole it!" Roger assures
him, "No she won't. I've spoken to her about it and she's promised
never to mention it again." David angrily remarks, "I'll get even
with her!" Roger tells him sternly, "No, David, there's nothing
to get even for." and leaves.
It is night. Vicky is looking out the drawing room window. It
is a stormy night outside. David comes into the room and asks,
"Is my father at home?" Vicky replies that he isn't. David suddenly
runs from the room and up the stairs. Puzzled, Vicky shouts,
"David!" and gives chase, but when she gets to the foyer, there's
a knock at the door. She answers. It's Joe Haskell. She remarks,
"Oh, Joe. It's good to see you. It's creepy being here with only
David for company!" Joe asks if she knows where Carolyn is. Vicky
replies that she doesn't, but that she thinks she'll be back soon
and asks him to stay and wait for her. Joe, somewhat angry, replies,
"Sorry, I can't. I've got to go home so I can shave and change my
clothes. I've got a dinner date!" and leaves.
Upstairs in his room, David is looking moodily out his window.
He vows, "I'll get even with her!"
Vicky goes upstairs. David, hearing her, comes out of his room
into the hallway. He asks, "Who was that?" She replies, "Joe." He
asks, "Is he still down there?" She tells him he isn't. He tells
her, "I lied to you before. I did steal your pen. You want it back?"
She asks "Where is it?. David replies, "In there", pointing to the
the door at the end of the hallway.

David continues,"I'll get it for you if you come with me." Vicky
looks at the door and remarks, "That's the closed off part of the
house. I thought no one could get in there." David pulls a key of
his pocket and replies, "I can!"
David leads Vicky into the unused part of the house. Vicky hears
a noise and is frightened. David nonchalently remarks, "Oh, don't
worry. That's nothing but a mouse." Another noise, this time a
whistling one, frightens Vicky. This time, David tells her, "That's
just caused by the wind." After a while, Vicky starts to wonder
why the trip is taking so long - the house is big, but not THIS
big. She asks, "We've been walking for over 10 minutes. It can't
be THAT far away." David replies, "It isn't. I've been taking you
in circles. I don't want you to know how to get there by yourself.
It's my secret place." Vicky asks, "Secret place?" "Yes,", David
explains, "I come here whenever I want to be alone. No one can
find me here." Finally, they come to a locked door. David takes out
his keys and opens it. They go in. David explains, "This is my
secret place. No one else knows about it, not even Matthew." The
room full of old furniture covered by cobwebs. David lights a
candle. He shows Vicky his "stash", a box full of canned food and
a can opener. He remarks, "I have something to eat whenever my
friends come to visit me." Vicky, puzzled, asks, "I thought you
said no one else ever comes here." David replies, "They don't, but
the ghosts do."
Carolyn finally returns to Collinwood. Elizabeth comes down the
stairs, dressed in a bathrobe. She asks Carolyn if she's seen David,
saying she's looked all over for him and can't find him. Carolyn,
concerned with other things, apoligizes to Elizabeth for what she
said earlier. Elizabeth replies that no apology is needed, that she
thought about it and realized that she, Carolyn, was right, that
she offered Joe the promotion only so he would marry her, that she
was, in effect, trying to sell her. She adds that Joe's independence
is one of his best traits, that the the founders of the Collins
family would have liked him. Elizabeth tells Carolyn she'll go up
and ask Vicky if she's seen David.
Elizabeth comes down and tells Carolyn that Vicky isn't in her
room either. Carolyn tells Elizabeth she's called Joe and everything
between them is OK now. She joyfully exclaims, "EVERYTHING is OK
now, even David!" She assures Elizabeth, "Don't worry about David
and Vicky. They probably just went out for a walk."
Inside David's "secret hideaway", David starts shouting,
"HELP! HELP!" Vicky asks him what he's doing. He replies, "Just
showing you how no one can hear you from here." Vicky tells David,
"I'd like to go back now.", but instead of taking her back, David
tells her a story about a girl who is locked in a room, dies and
when found is a skeleton. Vicky asks, "Are you trying to scare me?"
David sarcastically replies, "Why would I want to do that? Because
you accused me of stealing your pen?" Vicky demands, "Come on, just
give me back my pen and let's go!" David replies, "OK, I'll give
you back your stupid old pen - if I can find it." He pretends to
look for it.
Downstairs, there's a knock at the door. Carolyn answers.It's
Joe. Carolyn explains her absence to him, saying, "I was outside
walking off my idiotic mood." Joe replies, "That's what Vicky said."
Elizabeth asks, "Vicky? When did you see Vicky?" Joe explains,
"About an hour ago. She said someting about it being spooky here
with only David for company." Carolyn takes Joe's arm and tells
him she'd like to talk to him alone in the drawing room.
David tells Vicky, "I can't seem to find it!" Vicky tells him,
"Forget about the pen. I want to leave!" She runs to the door and
tries to open it, but finds that it's locked. David tells her,
"Oh, I always lock the door when I come here. If you want to leave,
let's go." He goes and unlocks the door and they both start out
the door. David looks back and says, "Oh, could you go and put
out the candle. I forgot to. Wouldn't want to burn the whole house
down." Vicky goes to put out the candle, but suddenly, David runs
out of the room and shuts and locks the door behind him. Vicky runs
to the door and tries to open it, but finds that she's too late.
It's already locked. She starts to bang on the door and yell.
David shouts back, "Bang all you want! No one can hear you!
I hope you're locked in here forever!"
David comes out of the door at the end of the hallway, locks it,
and goes back into his room.
In the drawing room, Carolyn apoligizes to Joe, saying his
indepedent spirit is something her ancestors would have like.
She keeps talking, and talking. Finally, Joe manages to get her to
shut up and listen to what he came here to tell her. He tells her
he came to tell her he can't take her out tonight, that he's made
other plans. Carolyn asks, "Can't you cancel them?" Joe replies,
"No. It's too late. I'm ten minutes late already. She wouldn't
understand.." Carolyn explodes, "SHE??? Joe Haskell, sailor with a
girl in every port. Well, go on. Go to your other girl!" Joe tries
to explain, but Carolyn is too angry to listen and tells him, "Just
do me a favor, Joe. Get out of here." Joe tries to tell her, "I'm
just going to have dinner, not get married." Carolyn shouts back,
"Not to me you aren't! You'll never marry me!" Joe shouts back,
"Good. This might be the best thing that ever happened to me!"
and leaves. Carolyn runs up the stairs. As she is going up, she
has to run around David, who's coming down. She shouts to him,
"Get out of my way! Why are you always getting in the way?" and runs
up to her room in tears.
Elizabeth asks David where he's been. David lies, "I was taking
a walk outside. I came in the back way. I'm just coming down to
get a glass of milk." Elizabeth asks, "Do you know where Miss
Winters is?" David nonchalently replies, "No. Think I'll have a
piece of pie, too. I'm starved!" and runs into the door under the
stairs.
Inside David's "secret hideaway", Vicky bangs on the door and
cries, "David, let me out of here, please..."

Vicky relights the candle. She screams, "HELP! MRS. STODDARD,
CAROLYN, HELP ME!", but as David demonstrated, no one hears her.
Carolyn comes downstairs. Elizabeth remarks, "I'm worried about
Vicky." Carolyn asks Elizabeth if she knows where her raincoat is.
Elizabeth replies, "It's in my room. One of the buttons was loose.
I sewed it back on. Why? Is Joe coming back to get you?" Carolyn
replies, "Joe? Who's he? I'm just going out to have some fun."
Carolyn complains about how Joe had let her apoligize, then told
her he was busy tonight because he had a date with another girl.
Elizabeth points out that she herself had had a date with Burke
Devlin and is being hypocritical if she minds Joe having dinner
with another girl for one night. Carolyn gets angry and replies,
"Maybe I'll go see Burke again tonight!" and stomps out of the
room.
Sam goes into the Blue Whale. Burke Devlin is in there drinking.
Burke calls out to Sam to join him, but Sam apparently does not
hear and goes to the phone booth. There, he calls Maggie and tells
him he'll be home in an hour. Maggie tells him she's invited Joe
to dinner. Sam, worried, asks her, "Think that's wise?" After Sam
hangs up, Burke comes up to him and asks, "What's a matter?
Forgotten me?" and invites him to his table. Sam at first refuses,
saying he doesn't want to discuss Bill Malloy anymore, but Burke
promises him, "I won't mention Bill Malloy. I only want someone to
sit and drink with me!"
Carolyn comes back downstairs, dressed in her raincoat ready to
go out. Elizabeth begs her, "Don't go..". Carolyn replies, "I'm
only going to a movie." Elizabeth asks, "I thought you said you
were going to see Burke Devlin." Carolyn explains, "No, I only said
that in anger. I wouldn't go and see someone who's declared war on
the family." Elizabeth asks, "What about Vicky? I'm worried about
her." Carolyn replies, "Don't worry. She probably just went out on
a walk. Anyway, tonight, I'm not going to worry about anyone but
myself."
Vicky looks around the room and finds that there's no way out.
She collapses on the bed in despair.
Sam and Burke are by now both very drunk. They start talking
about ghosts at Collinwood. Burke is skeptical about them. Sam
replies that he's sure they exist. Burke asks how. Sam replies,
"I'm an artist! I can feel them!" They have another drink. Burke
points to an empty chair and remarks, "Too bad Bill Malloy isn't
sitting there drinking with us!" Sam pretends to be angry and
says, "Hey, you promised not to mention Bill Malloy!" Burke feigns
a guilty look, covers his lips like a kid, and replies, "Oh, sorry!
Sam remarks, "In all seriousness, I do wish Bill Malloy could be
there drinking with us." Burke jokes, "How do you know he isn't?
Maybe his ghost is here right now." He asks Sam, "You DO believe
Bill was murdered, don't you?" Sam replies that he does. Burke
explains, "Then that means that his ghost would be roaming the
world trying to find his killer!" Sam raises his glass, says,
"To Bill Malloy!" sings, "What do you do with a drunken sailor,
what do you do with a drunken sailor, what do you do with a drunken
sailor ear-ly in the morning!" They drink. Sam remarks, "That was
Bill's favorite song." Burke replies, "I know. He used to sing it
all day when I worked with him on his boat." They both sing it.
Carolyn comes into the bar. Burke sees Carolyn, goes to her, takes
her arm and pulls her to the table. Carolyn laughs, "You're potted!"
Burke asks Carolyn, "What would you like to eat?" Sam suddenly
bolts upright and exclaims, "EAT!? OH, NO, I LATE FOR DINNER AND
MAGGIE'S GOT A YOUNG MAN OVER FOR DINNER!" He looks over at Carolyn
and realizes that maybe he shouldn't have said this. Carolyn remarks,
"I know. It's Joe Haskell, isn't it?" Sam does not reply and leaves.
Burke asks,"Jealous about Joe Haskell?" Carolyn lies, "Of course
not! Why should I be?" Burke replies, "That's a good question.
Another good question is what are we going to do tonight?" Carolyn
replies seductively, "That's entirely up to you..."
Vicky is still lying on the bed, apparently asleep. Suddenly,
the room fills with a voice singing, "What do you do with a drunken
sailor..." A ghost appears. It's Bill Malloy. He shouts at Vicky,
"Wake up! You're losing time!" Vicky wakes up. Bill Malloy warns
her, "Get away before you're killed! Get away before you're killed!"
then turns toward the door and fades away. Vicky shakes her head
and mutters, "I must've been dreaming!." She goes to the door and
bangs on it again, calling for help, but, as before, receives no
reply. When she turns back, she notices that the spot where she
thought she saw the ghost of Bill Malloy is covered with water and
seaweed. She screams, "Oh no! NO!"

It is now raining very hard. David comes downstairs. Elizabeth
asks him, "Have you seen Miss Winters?" David replies, "No." She
asks, "Do you know where she is?" David replies, "I don't
know. I don't care if I never see her again!" Roger walks into
the foyer and asks, "What's going on here?" Elizabeth explains that
she can't find Vicky.
Vicky continues to bang on the door, begging to be let out.
Elizabeth asks David when the last time he saw Vicky was. David
replies that he doesn't remember. Elizabeth tells him to go up and
get ready for bed. David goes up the stairs. As soon as he is out
of earshot, he mumbles "They'll NEVER find Miss Winters!"
Burke takes Carolyn up to his room. Carolyn remarks, "I don't
remember when I've had such a wonderful evening!" Burke pours a
couple of drinks, then pretends to be cautious and remarks, "Oh,
how do I know you're old enough? Do you have ID?" Carolyn
seductively replies, "There's other ways to find out if a girl is
old enough..." Burke gives her the drink and toasts, "To us!"
They drink. Burke turns the radio on to get some music. At first
he gets an emergency new report reporting that highway 202 is
closed, but highways 1a and 9 are still open. He fiddles with the
nob and finally finds some romantic music. Carolyn remarks, "Well,
with the storm so bad I guess I'd better stay here for awhile..."
At Collinwood, Roger finds David, dressed in his pajamas, in the
drawing room playing with his crystal ball and asks him, "I thought
your Aunt Elizabeth told you to go to bed." David replies, "No, she
only told me to get ready for bed." Roger replies, "You're mincing
words. What are you doing with that toy there?" David angrily
replies, "It's no toy! I'm trying to see who killed Bill Malloy."
Roger, irritated, tells him, "One last time. No one killed Bill
Malloy. It was an accident." He asks, "Why don't you put that
crystal ball to good use and use it to find out where Miss Winters
is?" David replies, "I already have, but it only clouds up when I
do."
Vicky hears a noise outside the door and, thinking it's David,
shouts, "David! I know you're out there! I heard you! Please let
me out! I promise not to tell anyone about this if you do!" but
receives no reply.
Burke tells Carolyn, "You haven't lived until you've seen Rio
during Carneval!" Carolyn asks, "It must be like heaven.." Burke
jokes, "No, not exactly. There are a lot of un-heavenly things
going on, if you know what I mean!" Carolyn suddenly asks, "Burke,
have you ever been in love?" Burke's demeanor turns sad and he
replies, "Yes. Once."
While Roger and David are talking, Elizabeth comes down the
stairs holding a key. She asks David, "Where did you get this,
David?" David lies, "I've never seen it before!" Elizabeth tells
him, "I went to your room to see if you were asleep yet and found
it on the desk. How did it get there?" David repleis, "Uh, maybe
the Widows put it there..." Elizabeth says sternly, "Don't lie,
David I know what this key opens and so do you. It's to the closed
off part of the house." Roger asks, "Liz, I thought you had the
only key that opened that door." Elizabeth replies, "No, there
are duplicates. They all have tops like this, that's how I know
what this key is to." She remarks, "I think I'll go and try this
on the door and see if I'm right" and starts up the stairs.
David suddenly exclaims, "Now I remember! I found that key a long
time ago, put it on my desk and forgot about it!" Elizabeth stops
and says, "Now that you've explained, I guess I'll just put it
where it belongs with the rest of the keys." After she leaves,
Roger remarks, "Well, she believed you. Why don't you look in that
crystal ball and see if I believe you!"
Burke Devlin is telling Carolyn what sounds like a tall tale about
some adventures he had on an island alone with a native girl, the
daugther of an important chief. Burke describes the girl as blonde
haired. Carolyn points out the inconsistency, saying, "I thought you
said she was a native girl!" Burke replies, jokingly, "She was! She
was a blond haired native girl!" Carolyn asks, "What happened?"
Burke replies, "Nothing. The chiefs wouldn't like it. She went
home." Carolyn asks, "I thought you said you two were alone on an
island." Burke replies, "She swam home. She was a strong swimmer."
Carolyn looks at her watch and remarks, "Oh, I think I'd better
go home." She tells him, "This is the most wonderful evening I've
ever had in my whole life!" He asks, "Will there be more?" She
replies, "Yes." He asks her if she'd like a ride home, pointing
out that the weather is quite bad. She replies, "No. The chiefs
wouldn't like that. Anyway, it's not necessary. I'm a strong
swimmer." She leaves. Burke mumbles, "Miss Carolyn Collins Stoddard,
you'd better be a good swimmer, because soon you'll be in a
whirlpool with nowhere to go but down!"
Roger, alone in the drawing room, pours himself a drink and
toasts, "To Miss Victoria Winters, wherever you are!"
Vicky gets an idea. She looks through the old-fashioned keyhole
and finds that David has left the key on the other side. She takes
a piece of paper lying on one of tables and slides part of it under
the door so that it sticks out on the other side. She then takes
a hairpin from her hair and pushes the key out of the keyhole. Her
aim is good. It lands right on the middle of the part of the paper
sticking outside. She starts to gently pull the paper back inside.
Unfortunately, the old-fashioned key is very thick, thicker that
the space under the door. When Vicky pulls the paper in, the key
is not on it. Vicky pounds the door in frustration.

It is 1:00 in the morning. Roger is in the drawing room with
Carolyn, who has just come home. Roger asks, "Where have you been?
You're mother's been worried about you. She's was almost ready
to get a posse to go look for you. You're almost as good at hiding
as Vicky." Carolyn asks what he means. Roger explains that Vicky's
been missing for several hours now. He asks, "Could she be at the
Evan's Cottage again?" Carolyn answers, "No, that's one place she
couldn't possibly be tonight. Maggie's entertaining another guest,
a certain ex-friend of mine." Roger asks, "Ex-friend? Who?"
Carolyn replies, "Joe Haskell!"
Maggie and Joe are sitting together on the couch having coffee.
Joe is telling Maggie about an "adventure" he once had when the
boat he was working was lost at sea during a violent storm and
didn't get back till the storm broke the next day. They start to
talk about boats. Joe is surprised at Maggie's knowledge of boats,
saying Carolyn used to fall asleep when he started to talk about
boats. Joe jokingly tells Maggie he'll test her knowledge of boats
and asks her, "OK, describe the rigging of a schooner." Maggie
surprises him by describing it in detail. She asks him, "Do I
pass? Am I right?" Joe scratches his head and laughs, "I don't
know. I'd have to look it up!" Joe talks about his desire to
buy his own boat and go into business for himself. Maggie tells
him, "Too bad. About ten years ago, my father sold a whole bunch
of paintings for $15,000 (=75,000 today), but he blew it all. If
he hadn't, we'd be able to form a partnership!" Maggie pours some
drinks. Joe takes one and remarks, "Now this raises a question."
Maggie asks, "What?" Joe starts to sing, "What do you do with a
drunken sailor...."
Roger pours himself a drink. Carolyn admits she was with Burke
Devlin tonight, saying, "Please don't tell Mother about it!"
Roger reprimands her for being with a man who has vowed to destroy
the family. Carolyn defends herself by saying it wasn't planned,
that he was drinking at the Blue Whale and she ran into him there.
She adds, "That's how I'm sure Vicky hadn't been with him tonight.
He asked me why Vicky wasn't with me."
A clock at the Evans Cottage shows 2:15. Joe thanks Maggie for
dinner and tells her he'd better be leaving because it's late.
He leaves.
Roger is now alone in the drawing room, Carolyn having gone up
to bed. Roger paces around of awhile as if thinking, then shuts
all the lights as if preparing to go to bed. But instead of doing
so, he goes to the table to the left of the door, and takes a
flashlight out of a drawer. He goes to the cabinet to the right of
the fireplace and pushes a secret button on it. A secret panel
to the right of the cabinet opens. Roger goes in, closing the
secret panel behind him. Carolyn comes back down and goes into
the drawing room to look for Roger, but finds it empty...
Roger goes through some secret passages and ends up in the
unused part of the house. After walking around for a long time, he
finally ends up near the room where Vicky is. Vicky hears a noise
outside and calls out, "David? Is that you?" Roger hears her but
says nothing. He sees the key on the floor by the door, bends down
and picks it up. Vicky, hearing noises, asks, "Who is it?" Roger
again does not answer. He knocks something over, then picks up an
old walking stick and bangs it on the door several times. He then
takes out a handkerchief, puts it to his mouth, and speaking
through it in a ghostly voice, says, "Vicky Winters! Leave
Collinwood! You are in danger here! Go home! Go home!" He waits
a little while, then unlocks the door and goes in and exclaims,
"Vicky! Thank God!. Vicky runs into his arms and cries, "It was
David! You were right. He's a monster! He locked me in here! He
lured me here by admitting to me he had stolen my pen and telling
me it was in here, then he locked me in and left!" She adds, "And
that's not all. There ARE ghosts here at Collinwood. I saw one!"
Roger asks, "You SAW a ghost?" Vicky replies, "Yes. It was tall and
shimmering, all covered with water and seaweed!" Roger asks, "Did
you happen to recognize who it was?" Vicky replies, "Yes! It was
Bill Malloy!"

It is morning. Vicky is in the drawing room with Carolyn.
Carolyn is sitting on the couch, drinking a cup of coffee, but
Vicky is pacing about nervously. Carolyn asks, "Are you sure you
saw a ghost, Vicky?" Vicky replies, "Yes. I find it hard to
believe myself, but I saw the ghost of Bill Malloy!" Elizabeth,
who has just come into the room and heard the last sentence,
is shocked and asks, "What did you say, Vicky?" Vicky repeats,
"I saw the ghost of Bill Malloy!" Elizabeth exclaims, "Nonsense!"
She remarks, "Roger told me about David locking you up as a prank,
but he didn't say anything about a ghost!" Vicky exclaims, "It
was no prank! I think he was trying to kill me! I think it would
be best if I left Collinwood!" Elizabeth begs, "I don't think you
should make that decision hastily." Vicky replies, "I'm not being
hasty. I thought about it all the time I was locked in that room.
I think I should leave." Roger, who has just entered the room,
remarks, "I agree." Elizabeth asks Carolyn and Vicky to leave so
she can talk to Roger. Carolyn and Vicky leave.
Elizabeth asks Roger, "Why do you want Vicky to leave?" Roger
replies, "I think it would be in her best interests." Elizabeth
asks Roger how knew where to find Vicky. Roger replies that it
was something David had said earlier. Elizabeth asks, "Why did you
wait so long?" Roger explains, "It took me awhile to put two and
two together." Elizabeth asks how he got into the unused part of
the house without a key to the door. Roger lies that the door was
unlocked. He tells her that David had later told him it was an
accident, that he and Vicky had found the door to the unused part
of the house unlocked and gone exploring, that they were exploring
in the room, that after awhile, David, not seeing Vicky, had
assumed she had gone ahead and left, locking the door behind him.
Elizabeth remarks, "Lately, there have been too many accidents
here at Collinwood..."
Vicky is in her room. There's a knock at the door. It's Carolyn.
Carolyn comes in and tells Vicky, "You can't leave Collinwood!
What about what you said you came here for?" Vicky replies, "I
haven't seen anything that sheds any light on my past." She
complains, "I was missing for hours! Didn't anyone even notice?"
Carolyn apoligizes, saying, "I would have, but I was out for the
evening." She tells Vicky it was Joe's fault she was angry and
was out for the evening, in essence blaming Joe for everything.
She tells her she found out Joe was having dinner with Maggie
Evans. She tells about running into Burke Devlin at the Blue Whale.
She begs Vicky to stay, saying, "We might not be the most
demonstrative family in the world, but we all care for you."
Vicky remarks, "Not David..." Carolyn says, "You must hate him."
Vicky replies, "No, I feel sorry for him."
Elizabeth and Roger discuss Vicky's claim that she saw the ghost
of Bill Malloy. Roger remarks, "There might be a way we could
satisfy ourselves about that." Elizabeth asks Roger, "Have you ever,
since you were a child, ever seen a ghost here?" Roger replies, "No,
not actually seen one, but I've often felt things. Now be honest.
You have too, haven't you?" Elizabeth doesn't answer, pausing in a
way that indicates that she has. She asks, "You said there was a
way we could satisfy ourselves. What did you mean?" Roger explains,
"We could go back to that room and see if there's any evidence of
what Miss Winters claims to have seen."
Carolyn begs Vicky, "Don't leave! I need your good advice about
Burke Devlin!" Vicky remarks, "What good is my advice doing? You
went and saw him tonight anyway." Carolyn says, "But nothing
happened." She adds, "Not that I was responsible for that. He was.
He'd been drinking pretty heavily. It looks like he was drinking
to celebrate something." Vicky wonders, "I wonder what he could've
been celebrating."
Roger and Elizabeth go into the unused part of the house by
the door at the end of the bedroom hallway. They go to the room
where Vicky had been locked and start to look around. Elizabeth
finds David's drawings and other things on the table and exclaims,
"David lied! He's been here before. You know what this means. He
locked Vicky in here deliberately! He must be a psychopath!"
Roger agrees, adding, "That's why I think Miss Winters should leave.
For he own safety." He adds, "Well, we've found no evidence of a
ghost. I didn't see any when I was in here earlier, either."
Elizabeth exclaims, "Then you must not have been looking very
carefully. Look at this!" She points to some seaweed on the floor.
She picks some up and exclaims, "It's still wet! Just like Vicky
said!"
Elizabeth and Roger come back out and return to the drawing room.
Roger asks, "What does this mean?" Elizabeth replies, "I think it's
the evidence we were meant to see." Roger asks, "By whom?" Elizabeth
doesn't answer. Roger, knowing she's thinking "Bill Malloy",
protests, "But he's dead!" Elizabeth replies, "Yes, but I've heard
that ghosts wander around restlessly when there's a wrong to be
righted..." Carolyn and Vicky come into the room. Carolyn asks,
"Mother! You've got to convince Vicky not to leave!" Elizabeth
replies, "Vicky, I don't want you to leave. I'd be much happier
if you decided to stay, but the decision is up to you." Vicky
surprises everyone by replying, "No it isn't. It'll be up to
David." Carolyn asks, "David?" Vicky replies, "Yes. I've got to
talk to him first. He hates me more that I ever thought possible.
I've got to find out why."

Burke Devlin and James Blair are in Burke's hotel room. Burke
is looking at some listings of the prices of some real estate
he's planning on buying. Blair tells him, "Your bid on the
Logansport cannery is in."
At Collinwood, Roger and Elizabeth are in the drawing room.
Roger tells Elizabeth, "I think Miss Winters should leave. She's
having dangerous delusions, like thinking she saw Bill Malloy's
ghost. I think she's a danger to David." Elizabeth replies, "I
think it's the other way around." The phone rings. Elizabeth
answers. Talking to the caller, she says, "Garner? You just heard
what?! He did?! How much did he offer?... Of course I'm going to do
something about it!... How much money do I need... That much?"
After she hangs up, she tells Roger, "Burke Devlin's just put in
a bid for the Logansport cannery. He plans to go into competition
against us. We have 10 days to do something about it."
Blair warns Burke, "She'll fight you, you know." Burke replies,
"With what? A daughter and nephew who come running to me at every
opportunity? A weakling brother who can't be depended upon?"
Blair replies, "With loyal people. Her people are absolutely loyal
to her. That's why Collinsport is a success and Logansport is for
sale" Burke counters, "I'll buy them. Everyone has a price.
Everyone's for sale." The phone rings. Burke answers and talks for
a few seconds. After he finishes and hangs up, he tells Blair,
"See. Money talks. You'll see, Blair. I've got a few tricks up
my sleeve." He goes into the kitchen and returns with a couple of
bottles of liquor. A few seconds later, there's a knock at the door.
Burke opens it. Four middle-aged men come in. Burke says hello to
to them, referring to them as "Ezra, John, Amos..." He introduces
them to Blair as, "Mr. Fitch, Mr. Cartwright, Mr. Belladeaux,
Mr. Ahern." The men sit down. Burke tells them, "I'll come right
to the point. I've made arrangements to buy the Logansport cannery."
He tells them he wants to hire them away from Collinsport. They
all tell him they don't want to leave Collinsport. They get up and
prepare to leave. Burke stops them, saying, "Wait! I'm willing to
make it worth it to you! Blair! tells them!" Blair tells them,
"Mr. Devlin is going to pay you much more than you're making now.
In addition to this, you'll receive additional money from profit
sharing." Burke begs, "Let me explain. After I've finished talking,
if you don't like what I've said, you can just get up and leave, but
let me talk first."
At Collinsport, Elizabeth vows to Roger that she'll fight Burke.
Roger asks, "How?" Elizabeth replies, "I have people who'll help.
Loyal people Burke could never buy." Roger asks, "Who?" Elizabeth
replies, "My workers. They're absolutely loyal to me."
Burke tells the men, "Don't you understand? After I take over
Logansport, Collinsport will be dead. There'll BE no more jobs
here, including yours." Amos Fitch, angrily tells Burke he doesn't
like the way he's talking, gets up and leaves.
Elizbeth tells Roger, "Burke won't be able to run the Logansport
cannery. He won't be able to get experienced help." Roger replies,
"Money always has a way of getting experienced people. He'll hire
them away from you." Elizabeth tells him she's confident he won't
be able to, that she's confident in their loyalty, but Roger
replies, "Loyalty always goes to the highest bidder." There's
a knock at the door. Elizabeth answers. It's Amos Fitch. He tells
Elizabeth that he's just come from Burke Devlin's hotel room. He
tells her that Devlin had called him and asks him to come talk to
him, that he asked him to bring Ahern, Belladeux and Cartwright
with him. He tells her they went just to see what he wanted. He
tells her what happened in Devlin's room, about Devlin telling
them he wanted to hire them to work for him. He tells her, "The
more I listened, the madder I got. I got so mad, I got up and
left." Roger asks, "What about the others? Did they get up and
leave too?" Amos replies, "No. They stayed to listen to Devlin's
offers and threats." Elizabeth asks, "Threats?" Amos replies,
"Yes. He said there won't be any more business at Collinsport
after he got Logansport running. He offered big money, profit
sharing." Elizabeth thanks Amos for telling her. He leaves. Roger
remarks, "Money has just been pitted against loyalty. WHen those
two get together, there's always a quick decision..."
Burke and Blair are now alone in the hotel room, the three men
having left. Burke tells Blair he's very confident about what just
happened. Blair tells him, "I'm not so sure. That Fitch. I think
he's the kind of guy who would go and tell Mrs. Stoddard about what
happened here." Burke replies, "Good. I hope he does. A fight's no
fun if the opponent doesn't know about it. I want to see them
squirm." Blair asks, "How many do you think you got?" Burke replies,
"Three. But even one would be enough. As soon as everyone sees how
much money he's making, they'll come running to me!" He tells Blair
he's done a good job and gives him a $1000 bonus (probably worth
about $6000 in 1995 money), saying, "This is for YOUR loyalty..."
After Blair leaves, Burke receives a telephone call from
Elizabeth. She tells him, "I know what you're up to. You won't get
away with it. This is the lowest, most contemptable thing you've
ever tried. I promise you, you'll get the fight of your life. You
don't own Logansport yet, and I'll spend every penny I've got to
make sure you never do!" After she hangs up, she tells Roger,
"It's Burke Devlin or us now!"

Vicky is in her room, packing. David comes in and asks, "What
are you doing?" Vicky replies, "What does it look like I'm doing?"
David tells her, "It looks like you're packing to leave." Vicky
replies, "That's what you wanted, isn't it? You said you hated me,
that you hoped I died and when I did, you wouldn't even come to my
funeral. You told me you hoped I was locked in that room forever".
David replies, "I didn't mean it." Vicky asks, "What part didn't
you mean?" David replies, "The part about not attending your
funeral. I would." Vicky asks, "Why?" David replies, "Because
I like funerals. I sometimes pretend I'm at the funeral." Vicky
asks, "Whose?" David replies, "My father's!" Vicky tells him,
"That's morbid." David counters, "Is it any worse than playing
shooting?" He gestures into the air with his finger and sayss,
"Bang, bang! You're dead!" Vicky asks, "You don't like shoothing?"
David replies, "No. There are better ways..." Vicky asks, "You mean
like locking people in rooms like you did with me?" David lies,
"I didn't lock you in there on purpose. I thought you had already
left." Vicky asks, "What about what I heard you shout after you
locked me in, 'I hope you're locked in here forever!'?" David lies,
"I wasn't talkng to you. I was talking to the ghosts in there."
Vicky asks, "Which ghosts?" David replies, "One of them is Josette
Collins. The other one is a little girl. I don't know her name."
Vicky tells him, "There's a third ghost around here." She tells
him about seeing Bill Malloy's ghost while in the room. David
exclaims, "I don't believe it! What did he do?" Vicky tells him
the ghost told her to leave Collinwood. David shouts, "You can't!"
Vicky asks why. David tells her, "You're the only person other than
me who's seen a ghost. That must mean they want you to stay!
The ghosts only let you see them when they want yo to see them"
Vicky reminds him that the ghost had warned her to leave. David
begs, "Miss Winters, please don't leave Collinwood!" Carolyn, who's
just walked in and heard this, asks, "Did I hear right?!" She
reminds Vicky, "You said it would be David's decision whether you
stayed or not. Well, he's just made it. You're staying!" Vicky
protests, "No! This is different!" Carolyn asks David to leave
so she can speak to Vicky in private. David leaves. Carolyn asks
Vicky, "Now in the light of day, are you so sure you saw Bill
Malloy's ghost? Are you sure you weren't dreaming?" Vicky replies
that she wasn't, saying there was seaweed on the floor where the
ghost stood to prove it wasn't a dream. She tells Carolyn she wrote
it all down in her diary so she wouldn't forget. She opens her diary
and starts to read the account to Carolyn, "It all started when I
heard a rough voice singing some kind of sea shanty, 'What do you
do with a drunken sailor...'" Carolyn gasps, "That was Bill's
favorite song!" Vicky remarks, "Well, then that just about proves
it, doesn't it?"
David, outside in the hall, finds Matthew fiddling with the door
leading to the unused part of the house. He goes and asks him what
he's doing. Matthew replies, "Changing the lock." David asks why.
Matthew replies, "Mrs. Stoddard told me to. Miss Winters wandered in
there the other day and locked herself in a room. Mrs. Stoddard
wants to make sure it doesn't happen again." David leaves. Carolyn
comes out to see what's happening. She too asks Matthe what he's
doing. Matthew tells her, "Mrs. Stoddard told me to change the lock.
Apparently, there are too many loose keys to the old one floating
around." Carolyn goes back into Vicky's room. She asks her, "I
thought you said you'd leave it to David whether you'd stay or
leave." Vicky replies, "Yes, I thought that maybe he secretly really
want me to stay." Carolyn says, "But he does. I just heard him beg
you to stay." Vicky explains, "No, he only wanted me to stay because
he found out I had seen a ghost, not because he likes me." Carolyn
asks, "Well, what about your search?" Vicky replies, "I'll try
somewhere else. I haven't found any clues to my past here. Thank
you for wanting me to stay." Carolyn admits, "I guess I'm just
being selfish. I want you to stay for me. If I were thinking about
you're best interests, I'd probably recommend that you leave..."
David comes back to Matthew and tells him, "I found a place on
the stairs where the rug is loose. Maybe you should fix it before
someone trips on it and falls down the stairs breaks his neck."
Matthew and David leave, David going to show Matthew the place he
is talking about.
Vicky tells Carolyn, "That's what the ghost did. He warned me
to leave. Too bad there isn't a way I could show you where I saw
the ghost." Carolyn looks out into the hallway and says, "Maybe
there is. Matthew gone somewhere and hasn't finished changing the
lock yet." They leave Vicky's room and go into the unused part of
the house. David, who's coming back from showing Matthew the loose
rug, sees them go in. He goes into Vicky's room, sees her diary
lying there and reads the entry about Bill Malloy's ghost.
David comes back out into the hallway and goes up to Matthew
Morgan, who, having fixed the loose rug, has come back to finish
changing the lock. He asks, "What if there were someone in there
right now. Would they be able to come out after you've finished
changing the lock?" Matthew asks, "Why do you want to know that?"
David answers, "Because I think the real reason my Aunt Elizabeth
wants you to change the lock is not because she wants to keep
someone out, but because she wants to keep something in!" Matthew
asks, "What?" David replies, "A ghost. Miss Winters said she saw
Mr. Malloy's ghost while she was in there." A strange look comes
across Matthew face. It looks like he's frightened. He suddenly
grabs David and demands, "What did it do?" David tells him, "It
told her about the night he died. He said he didn't fall. He said
someone killed him." Matthew tells David, "That's ridiculous! It
was an accident! The coroner said so!"
Vicky takes Carolyn to the room where she was locked. She takes
the key from the lock and tells her, "This the they key that was
too big to fit under the door. This time I'm going to make sure
I have it!" They go into the room, Vicky holding the key. She
remarks, "You know, it doesn't look so spooky here in the daytime."
Carolyn replies, "It looks spooky to me! I'd have gone crazy if I
had been locked in here!" Vicky shows Carolyn the place where the
ghost was but is surprised to find no seaweed there. She tells
Carolyn, "There was seaweed here! I don't know what happened to
it!" Carolyn asks, "What did you mean about the key being too big?"
Vicky tells her, "I'll demonstrate." She sticks the key inth
keyhole on the other side of the door and closes the door. She picks
up one of the old pieces of paper scattered about and sticks it
under the door. She then takes a hairpin out of her hair and pushes
the key out of the keyhole just like she did the first time. She
then pulls the paper back into the room, but is surprised to find
that this time the key comes with it, easily fitting through the
slit under the door. She exclaims, "But I don't understand! Last
time, it wouldn't fit!" Carolyn remarks, in a mysterious voice,
"Maybe it wasn't meant to last time..." Vicky, glancing at the piece
of paper she used for her demonstration, suddenly asks, "Carolyn!
What's 'Garner and Garner?'". Carolyn replies, "My mother's lawyers.
Why? What do you have there?" Vicky explains, "It looks like a sheet
from an old ledger. There's a name on it. 'B. Hanscombe.' I know
it! This may be the clue I've been looking for!" Carolyn excitedly
says, "Then you have a reason to stay at Collinwood!"
David is in Vicky's room, sitting in a chair. Vicky and Carolyn
return. Carolyn asks, "What are you doing in here? Snooping around?"
David replies, "No. I was worried. I saw you two go into the unused
part of the house." Carolyn, surprised, asks, "Worried about us?"
David replies, "No, not about you, just about Miss Winters." Vicky
asks, "You were worried about me? Why?" David replies, "Because I
love you!" and runs out of the room. Vicky, surprised, asks Carolyn
"That's very unlike him. Has he ever said anything like that
before?" Carolyn replies, "Yes. Just once. When he was living in
Augusta, he had a kitten he said he loved." Vicky asks, "He had a
kitten? Where is it? What happened to it?" Carolyn replies, "He
drowned it..."
