Anna: Thank you.

David: I'm really glad you agreed to having dinner with me. It's been a while since we've done this.

Anna: Eating together?

David: No. Had a date. This is a date, isn't it? At least it is for me. You know, I was thinking about ordering the Montrachet 1993. Well, if you'd prefer, we could also have the chateau de pickle juice 1999.

Anna: Whatever. I -- what did you say?

David: Good. There you are.

Anna: I'm sorry. I know. I've been looking forward to this all day. It's just it's hard to leave work behind, and -- but I want to. I will, I will.

David: You don't have to. We can have a toast to Michael Cambias being missing. He is still missing, isn't he?

Anna: Yeah, still missing. That's not what I'm obsessing about, though.

David: Then what is it?

Anna: Well, it seems that Kendall Hart has gone with him.

David: Well, you don't think that --

Anna: No, she went willingly.

Anna: So you vaccinated an entire room full of third graders?

David: Yeah, that's right.

Anna: They cried, right? They had to have.

David: No, they were great. Not one of them cried. They were very brave.

Anna: My goodness. Why, so were you. Here. Cheers. Thank you.

David: No, it's no big deal. Listen, I have another class coming in on Monday. Why don't you come by and see me in action.

Anna: Oh, I -- you know, work is just kind of crazy at the station. You know, I -- but thank you. I --

David: Yeah. No, of course it is.

Anna: Hmm.

[Phone rings]

Anna: Oh, that's probably -- no, it is. It's me.

David: It's you.

Anna: Thanks. Yeah. Devane. Oh, good. Yes. And Cambias? Oh, ok. Great. Thanks. Bye.

David: What?

Anna: Well, they found Kendall.

David: Where was she?

Anna: She's on a plane headed back to Pine Valley.

David: And what about Cambias?

Anna: Nothing on him, but we're going to pick Kendall up at the airport as soon as she lands. So I am going to have to cut short the date.

David: You don't have to. I'm coming with you.

Anna: Ok.

David: Yeah.

Simone: I think he's over here.

Mia: There he is.

Simone: There's Tad. Aidan, Hi.

Aidan: Hey.

Anna: What are you doing here? How did you know?

Aidan: Tad had a -- Tad’s got a French connection.

Anna: Ok, I don't want anyone interfering with police business.

Simone: Why is it police business?

Mia: What has Kendall done?

Simone: She hasn't done anything. I mean, if she did do something, it --

Liza: I think that's her plane.

Simone: Oh -- do you see her?

Mia: I don't see her. Do you see her?

Simone: There she is. Excuse me. Hey! What are you doing, girl?

Mia: Why didn't you tell us you were going to Vegas?

Simone: Yeah, and who did you go to Vegas with? Come on.

Mia: Well?

Simone: Vegas?

Mia: Why?

Kendall: Well, do you guys remember the bet we made --

Mia: Yes?

Kendall: About who would nab their dream guy first?

Simone: No.

Mia: You found your dream guy in Vegas?

Anna: Hello, Kendall.

Kendall: Hey, Anna.

Anna: Hi.

Kendall: This looks official.

Anna: Yes. I want to ask you a few questions about the disappearance of Michael Cambias. If you would come with us.

Kendall: No, actually, I can answer your questions right here.

Simone: What, you know about Michael’s whereabouts?

Mia: Did you do something to Michael?

Kendall: I sure did. I married him.

Kendall: Hmm. I know the ring is a bit much, but it has grown on me. It's worth a small fortune, too.

Simone: You're married?

Kendall: That's right. You are looking at the one and only Mrs. Michael Cambias. Don't all rush to congratulate me. Do you have something you want to say to me, David?

David: This marriage is a farce, Kendall. You're wasting everybody's time.

Mia: Kendall, come on. You didn't really marry Michael Cambias, did you?

Kendall: Can you people not see the ring on my finger?

Liza: Who can miss it?

Kendall: No one, I hope. My husband wants everyone to know I'm his.

Aidan: Why? He spent all last week trashing you.

Kendall: What is it going to take to convince you guys this is real? What, do you want me to consummate my marriage right here in the terminal?

Tad: Well, if we're going to take a vote --

Kendall: All right, fine. Fine, you guys want proof? I have plenty of proof right here. My marriage certificate, joining Kendall hart and Michael Cambias in the bonds of holy matrimony.

Simone: Oh, my God.

Liza: Kendall, how could you marry a man so loathsome?

Kendall: Well, my husband may not be the most popular man in town, but he sure is rich! Filthy, filthy rich! I know, I couldn't stop staring at it either. Isn't it fabulous?

Anna: Where is Mr. Cambias?

Kendall: I told him to stay behind. He was up 4,000 bucks at the craps table.

Tad: I knew there was crap in the story somewhere.

Mia: I think I'm going to be sick.

Kendall: Yeah, well, jealousy can be a bit hard to swallow.

Anna: So is all this, quite frankly.

Kendall: What do you want from me?

Anna: I would like some answers. Your "husband" is missing and he's wanted on serious charges.

Kendall: So do I have to go downtown?

Anna: Mm-hmm. And please, I'd prefer it if you didn't make this difficult.

Kendall: Fine. No problem at all. What new bride doesn't love to talk about her wedding.

Anna: One that's usually glowing from inside. Shall we?

Kendall: Where do you think you're going?

Aidan: I don't want to miss my chance to kiss the bride.

Anna: Ms. Hart, please.

Tad: You ok?

Liza: Hmm. You know, when Erica and Bianca find out what Kendall’s done, it's going to kill them.

Kendall: This is harassment, do you know that? It's pure harassment. You couldn't get my husband, so you're coming after me.

Anna: Well, you hate this man. You more than anyone know what he is capable of.

Kendall: Yeah, well, you married David knowing everything that he'd done.

Anna: Excuse me, but I love David. Are you telling me that you're in love with Mr. Cambias?

Kendall: Can we just -- can we just get this over with, please?

Anna: Yes, we will, as soon as the D.A. gets here.

Kendall: You called Jackson?

Anna: Mm-hmm. Right, I did. Mr. Cambias has apparently skipped bail on very serious charges. You were the last person to see him. That makes you a key witness in our investigation.

Kendall: Yeah, you mean witch-hunt.

Anna: The D.A. obviously has a personal interest in this case, which I don't have to explain to you.

Jack: Well, looks like it's time for me to buy a new cell phone because I could swear I heard you say that Kendall here married Michael Cambias.

Kendall: I did.

Jack: Knock it off! Nobody married that animal.

Kendall: Oh, really? No? Then what's this? See?

Jack: Stop it! You know what, you're lying. You know it, and I know it.

Anna: Jack? Why are you so sure that she didn't marry Cambias? Do you know something that we don't?

Kendall: You think you know me?

Jack: Maybe better than you know yourself, little missy.

Kendall: Oh, please.

Jack: I know what you've wanted more than anything else your entire life.

Kendall: Is this part of my official questioning?

Jack: Your mother's love, to be a part of her family, to be accepted as her daughter.

Kendall: There's more to my life than just trying to win my mother's approval.

Jack: Oh, you did more than try. You actually got it. You actually made a real connection with Erica, and that's all you've wanted your whole life.

Kendall: Note to self -- set a new goal in life.

Jack: What about Bianca? You were devastated when you heard that Michael Cambias raped her, and now you want me to believe you're stupid enough to run and marry this guy?

Kendall: You know what? You can say whatever you want about me, Jackson, believe whatever you want, you always have, but marrying Michael was not stupid. There are advantages to be being his wife.

Jack: Oh, come on! I don't believe for a second you love this guy! You hate him! He attacked you! He attacked your mother!

Kendall: I know who he is.

Jack: Really? Well, then you tell me this -- when you were winging your way to Las Vegas for your little wedding and you were whispering sweet nothings in each other's ears, what kind of future did you plan for exactly, huh? Did you hold his hand while you stood before God? Did you look into his eyes while you pledged your life to him? What looked back at you, Kendall, huh? Was it the same eyes that looked at your sister before he forced himself on her? How'd you feel then? Come on, I want to hear it! How'd you feel then?

Kendall: Great.

Jack: Oh, she's lying. You are a liar.

Kendall: Yeah, well, call me whatever you want, but my name is Mrs. Michael Cambias.

Jack: Oh --

Kendall: It says so right here on this marriage certificate.

Jack: You know what, you did not marry this guy, and I don't give a damn what that piece of paper says.

Aidan: No, really, Jackson, I’d like to hear Kendall’s side of the story.

Anna: So would I. You stand by what you've just said?

Kendall: The D.A. can try to intimidate me all he wants, but it's not going to change a damn thing.

Anna: All right. I want to hear how this marriage came about.

Kendall: I went to see Michael Cambias at his condo.

Anna: When?

Kendall: The night of the hearing. It was after he'd been released.

Anna: And was he there?

Kendall: Yes. When I got there, he was packing.

Jack: Packing?

Kendall: He was planning on leaving town. [Flashback scene with Kendall and Michael]

Jack: Erica did not care a thing about Enchantment, and she said so at that hearing that afternoon. You were there. You heard her. All she cared about was Bianca.

Kendall: She cares, Jackson. Don't kid yourself.

Anna: So you went to Michael because you wanted to help Erica and your partners at Fusion?

Kendall: He stole our companies.

Jack: So you wanted to get the companies back by making a deal with the man who raped your sister?

Kendall: Well, what the hell else was I supposed to do? He was getting ready to leave town because you and that stupid judge screwed up.

Jack: Oh, I see. This is my fault?

Kendall: Yes, this is your fault. If you hadn't screwed up so badly in court, he never would've gone free.

Anna: And then he turned around and married you? If that is indeed what you did. Or did you do something else?

Kendall: You don't believe me?

Anna: No. The rape charges against Cambias have been dropped. He had stolen Fusion and Enchantment. You were furious with him. You were alone with him. And he's going to leave town. I don't believe you. You need to tell me what really happened that night.

Kendall: I offered him the one thing that he didn't have, the one thing he couldn't say no to. Marry me.

Anna: So you're saying that you appealed to his weakness?

Kendall: That's right, and he totally went for it.

Anna: When did he tell you about the drug trafficking?

Kendall: The drug -- what drug trafficking? Michael --

Anna: Didn't you know that?

Kendall: No.

Anna: Why not? I thought that was the whole deal, that you were going to take care of his money.

Kendall: Yeah, the money that I knew about. Well, that explains why he was so quick to say yes. He knew that you guys were closing in on him. [Another flashback to Kendall and Michael]

Anna: So he agreed to give you power of attorney?

Kendall: That's right. We flew to Vegas, we got married, and, as soon as he found out his father died, he couldn't wait to sign those papers. My husband is never coming back to Pine Valley. Hello? Do you guys hear me? Hello? He's gone! I did you all a huge favor.

Anna: So how were you planning on giving him his money?

Kendall: Well, that's the interesting part of this whole little thing. After Michael and I said "I do" in that little chapel on the strip, I don't have to tell you a damn thing.

Jack: Oh, and now you're going to protect this guy, huh?

Kendall: Yeah, it's one of the perks of being married. It's called -- what is it called?

Aidan: Marital privilege.

Kendall: Exactly. So, you going to charge me with anything?

Jack: No. Not at this time.

Kendall: Great. So then I'm free to go?

Anna: Just don't leave town.

Kendall: Well, why would I do that? All my friends and family are here.

Jack: Have you told your mother the good news?

Kendall: No, I figured I’d let her find out on her own. It's more fun that way. I won't be needing your services from now on.

Aidan: I tried keeping you from killing your husband. Looks like you've already taken care of that.

Anna: What the hell is wrong with you? How do you let Kendall walk out of here without charging her with something?

Anna: Thank you. Why the hell didn't you arrest Kendall?

Jack: Because she didn't do anything criminal, Anna.

Anna: She admitted to cutting a deal with Cambias to get him out of town. She should've been charged with aiding and abetting a criminal.

Jack: And how did she help him exactly, huh? He left of his own volition, he left under his own name and on a commercial flight. Now, the person responsible for his disappearance is whatever cop you had assigned to watching him. Now, that's your problem, isn't it?

Anna: Ofc. Ramirez. Ramirez!

Ofc. Ramirez: Yeah, Chief?

Anna: You were assigned to Cambias the night he disappeared. What happened? How did he get away?

Ofc. Ramirez: The unit was told to step down, so we did.

Anna: By who?

Ofc. Ramirez: You.

Anna: No, I never gave such an order. I would've watched him myself.

Ofc. Ramirez: We were just following orders. It was a direct order.

Anna: It didn't come from me. I want to know who the hell went over my head.

[Knock on door]

David: Coming. Hi, Erica.

Erica: David.

David: What's wrong?

Erica: I lost my datebook.

David: Here?

Erica: I hope so, because I haven't seen it since the night of the hearing.

David: Well, I haven't seen it anywhere; but then, I haven't been home much since you were last here.

Erica: No, no, I haven't been home much either.

David: All right, well, let's look.

Erica: I mean, of all the things to go missing, you know, I don't even know why I brought it with me. I didn't need it.

David: Well, so, you'll get a new one.

Erica: David, if I have lost my datebook, there's no telling where it may have ended up.

David: Well, that's it. Your datebook is definitely not here.

Erica: Oh, how could I have been so careless?

David: You don't really believe that you might have left it --

Erica: Oh. That looks really painful.

David: No. Don't worry about it. I'm fine. Actually, I've been worried about you.

Erica: Me?

David: Yeah. I mean, you look very together, considering your daughter --

Erica: What? What is it? What? Bianca -- I mean, what did she tell you?

David: No, no, no, no, I'm not talking about Bianca. I'm talking about Kendall. Wait a minute. You haven't heard?

Erica: Kendall -- oh! Oh, everything's just been happening so quickly, you know. I mean, the hearing, and then Michael Cambias disappearing, and I just -- I haven't even had a chance. I'm going to call her when I get home.

David: I wouldn't worry about that. Kendall has sworn on her multicarat ring that she married Michael Cambias.

Erica: What -- what are you talking about? David, she couldn't have. I mean, that's not possible.

David: That's what she's telling everyone; and I saw the bride at the airport, complete with marriage certificate.

Erica: Are people buying this?

David: Apparently. She said the groom decided to stay back in Vegas and play craps. That's why she was flying solo.

Erica: Oh, come on. I mean, she's got to stop this, David. She will ruin everything.

Anna: Oh. Don't let me interrupt.

Erica: Of course not. You're not interrupting anything, Anna. I was actually just leaving. Thank you, David, for your help.

David: Sure.

David: You get Kendall’s statement?

Anna: Yeah.

David: Erica just stopped by to say thank you for helping out with Bianca.

Anna: Hmm. That's very thoughtful. I hate this case. I hate everything about it. I hate the fact that Cambias walked, and now he's vanished and that Kendall is claiming to be married to him and that Jackson is lying about whatever he knows and that you're lying.

David: I'll tell you whatever you want to know.

Anna: Oh --

David: What's so funny?

Anna: You, us. This entire situation.

David: Can you be more specific? Maybe I can help.

Anna: You want to help me?

David: Yeah.

Anna: Oh, that's perfect. You want to confess whatever it is that you have to confess? Well, I don't want to hear it.

Anna: Thank you.

David: You want to talk about it?

Anna: Oh, what's there to talk about? Cambias is gone. Maybe dead, maybe not; and everyone that knows anything is lying.

David: Or married to him.

Anna: Right. I'm just so tired of suspecting my friends and badgering people that I care about to tell me about a person who, quite frankly, has deserved whatever's happened to him.

David: Do you really believe that?

Anna: My job is to enforce the law, and I will do my job; but I hate this man. I hate Cambias for what he did to Bianca and my friends and to this entire community. If he is out somewhere to be found, I don't want to find him in pieces or whatever.

David: Then don't. Mark the case closed, walk away. Do a lot of people a favor.

Anna: You remember our wedding night with the justice of the peace?

David: Of course I do. Why?

Anna: Oh, just we had to try so hard to keep from laughing throughout the ceremony.

David: The plastic bouquet.

Anna: And afterwards --

David: Oh, yes, the bridal suite right there at J.P.'s Inn.

Anna: Hmm; and his wife, she bought me that big flannel nightgown for my wedding night.

David: And yet you still found a way to look absolutely stunning.

Anna: We could forget I was a cop and that you had done things that I wish you hadn't. We were just in love. Well, I was; and for one night, being together was all that mattered.

David: It seems like a million years ago.

Anna: Do you think that we could go back in time? Find what we had? Or is it just gone forever?

David: I hope not.

Anna: It's been a long day.

David: Yeah.

Anna: I am going to go to bed.
