Episode 26

Jessica: I....I can't believe it.

Corinne: It's true, Ma. Believe it.

Jessica: Mary....alive....

Burt: Well, we're not exactly sure that it is Mary.

Eunice: Yeah, she didn't remember us, or anything else.

Chester: Maybe this is another one of Ingrid's tricks. Maybe she made a Mary clone.

Burt: Who knows? I have an idea though.

Jessica: What, Burt?

Burt: Well Jess, maybe you can jog her memory.

Jessica: Jog her memory?

Burt: Yeah.

Jessica: But Burt, how do I jog a memory? I know how to jog with my feet, but to jog a memory?

Burt: No no, Jessica. What I meant is that you talk to her about past events, stuff you shared, things like that. That's what jogging her memory means.

Jessica: I see...

Chester: I'm going with you.

Mallu: Me too.

Jessica: Boys, boys...No. I have to go alone and do it myself.

<The doctor comes out of the waiting room>

Burt: Doctor, what's the prognosis?

Doctor: Well, she suffered a lot of smoke inhalation, and she bruised her head from the wall falling on her, but she's stable.

Eunice: Will she be ok?

Doctor: Well it's hard to tell at this point. But the odds are very good that she will make a full recovery.

Corinne: Oh, thank god.

Jessica: May I see her?

Doctor: Sure. Please, follow me.

<Jessica follows the doctor as the others stand with worried looks>

Danny: You talking to me?....ARE YOU talking to me?....Well, I'm the only one here.

<Danny takes out the gun and points it at the mirror.>

Danny: I've always wanted to do that.

<There is a knock at the door>

Danny: I wonder who that could be.

<Danny opens the door. Gwen is standing there>

Gwen: Oh Danny.

Danny: Gwen?? What are you doing here?

Gwen: Danny, I need to talk to you...now.

<Gwen pushes past Danny and enters the room>

Gwen: Close the door.

<Danny closes the door>

Danny: Alright Gwen, what the hell are you doing here?

Gwen: Danny...I'm in trouble.

Danny: Well, I told you to stop hooking, didn't I?

Gwen: Danny, please...this is important.

Danny: Hold on one minute. Why don't we discuss how you left me all those years ago because you didn't love me?

Gwen: I had to leave you Danny.

Danny: What the hell does that mean?

Gwen: Look, that's not important right now. What's important is that I need your help.

Danny: OK...what can I do for you?

Gwen: Well, some people are after me.

Danny: What? Who?

Gwen: Gangsters. They're after me.

Danny: Well what can I do?

Gwen: You need to help me get rid of them.

Danny: Gee, I don't know, Gwen.

Gwen: I've thought of you often, Danny. All these years I've eaten myself up for leaving you. This can be another chance for us.

<Gwen kisses Danny>

Danny: I'll do what I can to help.

Gwen: Great.

Danny: Let's start.

Gwen: Alright, come to my place and we can start there.

Danny: You got it.

<Gwen leaves and Danny follows>

Dutch: Eunice! Corinne! You're alright!

Eunice and Corinne: Dutch!

<Eunice and Corinne run to Dutch and smother him with hugs>

Dutch: Help....can't....breathe....

<Eunice and Corinne let Dutch go>

Eunice: I'm just so happy to see you.

Corinne: Me too.

Alex: Can we just please get on with this?

Dutch: You!!!

Alex: Yeah, me. I'm gonna do you a favor, so shut up.

Dutch: What's he talking about?

Alex: That's right. I'm gonna help you. (To Burt) Can we get on with it?

Burt: Alright. Go. (To the other cop) Make sure you write down everything he says.

<The other cop nods>

Burt (to Alex): Talk!

Alex: Alright....I killed those women, not Dutch.

Burt: Why?

Alex: Because Dutch and I had a bad history. Ingrid Svenson offered me to help her get rid of Dutch. I killed those women and made it look like Dutch killed them. Ingrid paid me to do that.

Burt: Alright. Anything else?

Alex: Well, you might want these.

<Alex takes out the murder weapons>

Alex: Ingrid had duplicates of the weapons made so that the cops would find the duplicates in Dutch's possession and convict him.

Burt: Unbelievable.

Alex: That's all I have to say.

Burt: Thanks. You'll be taken to a judge as soon as possible and be sentenced. You'll probably get 25 years.

Alex: Well I wouldn't do that if I were you, Sherriff.

Burt: Why?

Alex: Because I can give you more information on Ingrid Svenson than you've dreamed possible. But, you have to promise me I won't go to jail.

Burt: You mean, like make a deal with you?

Alex: You got it.

Burt: Alright, it looks like we have no choice.

Corinne: Burt! He framed Dutch and not only that, he helped kidnap us.

Burt: Corinne, we have no choice if we want to catch Ingrid. (To the other cop) Call the D.A. We need him to make this deal.

<The other cop nods and then leads Alex out of the room>

Burt: Oh Dutch, I almost forgot. You're free to go home.

Dutch: Finally...

Burt: See you all later.

<Burt leaves the room>

Eunice: Oh Dutch, I missed you so much.

Corinne: So did I.

Dutch: I missed you both too.

<Dutch hugs Corinne and Eunice>

Dutch: How about we go celebrate my freedom?

Corinne: Great idea.

Eunice: Yeah, great.

Dutch: Alright, let's go.

<Dutch puts his arms around Corinne and Eunice, and they all leave the room>

Maggie: That was absolutely fantastic.

Jodie: You mean, the food or the part that came after?

Maggie: Both.

<Jodie smiles and kisses Maggie>

Jodie: One of the greatest decisions I ever made in life was to move in with you.

Maggie: You really mean that?

Jodie: Yeah. I do. I love you.

Maggie: I love you too.

<Maggie and Jodie kiss again>

Jodie: So, how about some dessert?

Maggie: That sounds like an excellent idea.

Jodie: OK. I'll go get some.

Maggie: I'll come too.

Jodie: No. You just stay right where you are, and I will wait on you.

Maggie: But...

Jodie: No buts. I won't hear any arguments.

Maggie: OK.

<Jodie smiles and leaves>

Maggie: If I didn't have him, I'd be completely alone in this world.

<Suddenly a hand is clamped over Maggie's mouth>

Man: Now, you'd better not scream, otherwise I will hurt you. You got it? <Maggie nods. The man lets her go>

Maggie: Paco??? What are you doing here?

Paco: I'm here to collect on an old favor.

Maggie: What are you talking about?

Paco: You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Maggie: Forget it. That was years ago.

Paco: You seem to be forgetting how much information I have on you. Information that will be lethal to you if it's found out.

Maggie: You wouldn't...

Paco: You're right. I won't. Because I sold the information. And the person I sold it to might use it.

Maggie: Who did you sell it to?

<Paco smiles and points to the window. Carol climbs through it>

Maggie: Carol...

Paco: I see that no introductions are necessary here.

Maggie: Carol, what do you want?

Carol: Oh, nothing. I just wanted to let you know that the information about you is now mine, along with the favor you owe Paco. And I think I'll use that favor now.

Maggie: And what is it that you want?

Carol: Break up with Jodie.

Maggie: No chance in hell.

Carol: Alright then. Don't break up with him, and the information about you gets published.

Maggie: Ha! Jodie knows what a liar you are. He'll never believe you.

Carol: You don't understand it do you? I have plenty of ways to publish the information about you without Jodie knowing it's me.

Maggie: I'm not going to break up with him. Ever.

Carol: Have it your way. I'll give you some time to think about it. But not too long. After a while, your information will be out in the open.

<Carol and Paco leave. Maggie remains on the bed, shocked.>

Jessica: Mary...

<Mary's lookalike wakes up.>

Mary's Lookalike: What??? Who are you?

Jessica: Oh Mary....I can't believe it.

Mary's Lookalike: Who's Mary?

Jessica: You are.

Mary's Lookalike: No I'm not...I don't know who I am, but I'm not Mary.

Jessica: Don't you recognize me at all?

Mary's Lookalike: No. I don't know who you are.

Jessica: It's me. Jessica.

Mary's Lookalike: Is it "me" or "Jessica"? Make up your mind.

Jessica: It's Jessica.

Mary's Lookalike: Sorry. I don't know any Jessicas.

Jessica: Oh my god...you must have aphrodesia or something.

Mary's Lookalike: What???

Jessica: You know....when you don't remember anything.

Mary's Lookalike: That's amnesia.

Jessica: Right...see, you know what it's called. You must have it then.

Mary's Lookalike: I guess I do...I'm sorry. I just don't recognize you at all. But it looks like Mary was very lucky to know you.

<Jessica has tears in her eyes>

Jessica: I know that you really are Mary...I just know it. And I'll help you remember who you are.

Mary's Lookalike: If you can help me, that will be great.

Jessica: I will. I promise you.

Mary's Lookalike: Thanks...now if you'll excuse me, I'm still very tired. I think I'll take a nap.

<Jessica nods>

Jessica: Sleep tight.

<Jessica leaves the room>

Jessica: I know that it's Mary in there. I just know it. And I WILL help her remember that.

<The show ends with a split screen of Jessica and Mary's Lookalike>
