All language subtitles for Hotel - S02E20 - Skeletons

Any problems, you know where to call.

Will you relax? The hotel will still be
standing. Do me a favor.

Joe Connor's wife delivered last night.

Send her some. Another baby?

That makes four, doesn't it? Yeah, the
guy works nights.

Well, at least he's making good use of
his days.

Oh, and stick to Blue. The baby's name
is Petop.

He didn't.

Is there someplace I can check this for
a while? Oh, you sure can. Right here.

Oh, wait a minute.

Will you be staying with us?

Uh, no.

No, I'm just passing through.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Late for work. One for the road.

Man isn't accountable for his actions
when he's slowing off the deep end.

Oh, don't say anything.

Let's not make any promises, huh? Let's
just get to know each other a little

better, okay?

Certain things grab you right from the
start.

Like me?

You. And chocolate chip cookies.

I was two years old and it was love at
first sight.

Barbara broke a date, or did your horse
come in last?

Worst, I'm replacing Connors on the
night shift, and there's going to be a

moon. So?

So, it's a scientific fact that crime
goes up 6 % during a full moon. Oh, come

on. You don't believe that, do you?

You know that the word lunatic comes
from lunar.

News. Mike McCracken has finally decided
to quit school and live in the

mountains for a year. Oh, Dave, you mean
we finally get his... Get his great,

big, wonderful, good -as -new
refrigerator. He's selling off

Now we can eat our ice cream with spoons
instead of straws. He says we can pay

him over the next six months. Just put
50 bucks down, and we can pick it up

tomorrow night.

Wait a sec. How do we put 50 bucks down
by tomorrow night?

Megan, that's why they invented
checkbooks. And bank statements.

You didn't read the last one, did you?

You know I don't like to read anything
with an unhappy ending.

Honey, we're already 250 overdrawn.

250?

If we quit work today, we'd have enough
to live on for the rest of our lives.

If we died right now.

Tires come with a guarantee, right?

Why not shoes?

I'm late. Harry's gonna kill me.
Someone's been keeping you pretty busy.

Morgan and Christopher again, right?

All happening so fast, we hardly know
each other. So put on the brakes.

I tried, but he works in computers, you
know?

Once he's made up his mind, he doesn't
like to be unprogrammed.

He's falling in love with me, Julie.

Is that so terrible?

I thought I was in love once.

Turned out to be a big mistake.

Everyone gets another chance around the
block.

The lucky ones, maybe.

The unlucky ones never had a chance to
begin with.

I'm really sorry, Harry.

Let me guess.

Your alarm clock's on strike.

The man left this for you.

Thanks.

Caller, bar.

She's right here.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

You must have a real sweet tooth.

Which brings me to our dinner plan.

I can't make it tonight.

Isn't it critically important?

But tomorrow, I... Novel idea.

Club soda, please.

Hope I wasn't interrupting an important
conference call.

Oh, I think I just got a wrong number.

Don't you love these things?

So intimate.

To us.

My sources tell me we're in a real horse
race.

Winner take all.

Well, I just hope you'll be able to pass
the saliva test.

John, would you save this for me,
please?

Kevlar Bar.

Good luck.

I'd have to get you an answering curve.

Fine. Hello?

Kate, Wicket.

You were supposed to be here an hour
ago.

Did you get my message? I had to work
early today.

It's the first I've heard about it.
Well, I wouldn't miss an appointment,

Wicket. You know that.

Just makes things difficult for all of
us, Kate.

But I called you. Honestly, I did.

Well, maybe the new secretary did
misplace your message.

I'll see you next week, then.

And be here.

I don't want you to get yourself into
trouble. I know. I'll be there. I

Billy, something wrong?

He's been sitting there all day.

Looks harmless enough.

Bill, there's something odd about him.

Do you think he's in trouble?

Why don't we ask?

Excuse me.

Hi, I'm Christine Francis.

Hello. This is Mr. Griffin.

We work here.

We couldn't help noticing that you've
been here most of the day.

I'm just waiting.

Is there anything we can do, Mr.?

Palmer.

I... Well, you're both very kind, but...
No, there's really nothing you can do

for me.

Night.

Nick's leaving the day after tomorrow,
and his next -door neighbor's willing to

give him the cash.

He's really doing us a favor.

Babe, we shouldn't hang him up like
that. I think he could sell her the

Look, 50 bucks isn't so bad. Why can't
we borrow it?

I don't know.

They say the quickest way to wipe out a
friendship is to sponge on it.

You're right.

It's bad enough we owe your family. We
can't start adding our friends to that

list.

Wait a minute.

We don't have to owe anyone. He owes me.

Mark, he borrowed 50 bucks from me last
month.

Since when do you start carrying 50
bucks around with you? I don't. I wrote

a check.

And the problems.

We just got our icebox and enough left
over for a frozen dinner.

Hi, Mark.

Hey, how you doing, guys? Great.

We're actually getting that new
refrigerator.

Well, the Iceman finally coming.

Congratulations.

Thanks, thanks.

Sit down.

Now all we have to do is ante up the
down payment.

Fifty dollars.

Fifty dollars?

Well, nothing like a little cold cash
for the freezer, eh?

Good luck.

Enjoying the executive speak?

Pretty powerful crowd, eh?

Oh, just your everyday who's who on Wall
Street.

Would you excuse me?

Wouldn't have a glass for me, would you?

Maybe I could empty one over your head.

Now, Kate, how was I supposed to know?

That I'd be at your critically important
business meeting?

Well, believe it or not, this is
business.

This is our corporate suite.

Oh, Mother, this is Kate.

A pleasure to meet you.

Hi.

Remember, I told you about her.

I haven't forgotten.

You seem to be my son's favorite topic
of conversation these days.

Thank you, Mrs. Christopher.

Excuse me, I don't want things to get
flat.

I'll be right back, Mother.

Come on, fess up.

You liked Mother, didn't you?

He doesn't let you off the hook.

Why didn't you tell me?

I said I was in computers.

Yes, as in programmer or something. I
didn't know you were a major

Actually, a little more than that.

Do you think you could get used to being
the wife of the chairman of the board?

You shouldn't have lied to me, Morgan.

I didn't lie. I just didn't explain
everything.

Anyway, I know now you're not marrying
me for my money.

I said anything about marriage.

Now, Kate, why are you making such a big
deal out of this? Tell me something.

That cute little economy car you drive
around in, is that so people will figure

you're just one of us common folk?

I drive it because it's a damn good car.

Now, can't we just talk about this? I'm
sorry, Mr. Christopher, I'd love to stay

and chat, but I've got to get back to
work. You know, the problem with being

poor is that it's a full -time job.

Excuse me, but what are you doing?

Waiting. Waiting.

Waiting for what?

To die.

Good morning, Julie.

Good morning.

Billy.

What's going on?

You won't believe it.

I don't understand. Last night he was
sitting here in a suit.

Last night he was George Palmer.

Today he's White Wing Hawk.

Why haven't you moved him or called the
police?

He's a Miwok.

It's one of the Indian tribes that used
to live in the Bay Area. He says the

hotel is built on the site of his
people's village.

Billy, that is no reason to let him sit
here in the middle of the lobby.

He says he's dying.

What do you expect me to do? Just go up
to Mark and ask him for $50?

That's very uncool. That's what our milk
will be if we don't get that

refrigerator. If we can just get him to
remember that he owes me without

actually coming right out and asking
him. This is so stupid.

What are we afraid of, hurting his
feelings?

Well, then you ask him for it.

This is tacky. I hate always sounding
like we need money.

Oh, cheer up, Dave. You know what they
say.

Money doesn't buy happiness.

Maybe not.

But it sure would be nice to find that
out for ourselves.

Kate, please. I'm late for work.

Listen, I called all night. Why didn't
you answer?

You can't be that angry.

I'm not.

Just surprised.

Dishonesty always surprises me.

Hey, it's not like I forgot to tell you
I was Jack the Ripper. What's the big

deal? The big deal is I wore a uniform
last night.

Your mother and her friends don't
exactly share the same dress code. Oh,

what does that matter?

You scared me.

Look, it's like oil and water. You know,
no matter how much you shake them up,

They're still going to separate.

My God.

When are you going to tell me what's on
your mind? You've been daydreaming since

you got here.

I guess I'm nervous about the executive
committee interview.

It's boiled down to Morgan and Paul
Shanks.

I'm very proud of Morgan.

I'd hate to see him passed over.

Because of that young lady he's been
seeing?

She was there last night.

Serving drinks.

How was the service?

I know my son.

He cares for that girl.

But he's also very ambitious, and when
you've got an army of stockholders

climbing all over you...

Keeping up appearances can be a full
-time job.

She seemed perfectly presentable to me.

I don't see why the committee would hold
it against him.

Paul Shanks might.

Really? I thought he was charming.

Oh, he is.

For a barracuda.

It'll be $42 .50. Shall I bill your
office?

This one's personal, Larry.

$20, $30, $40, and $50.

$50?

Boy, $50 doesn't go very far these days,
does it? Unless you mail it overseas.

You need me?

Here you are.

Thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry, Megan. Go on.

Well, I just wanted to ask you
something.

I know you've been real busy lately, and
people can forget.

Forget what?

Well, you know, people do forget things,
don't they?

Like, um... Well, like why they call
money dough.

What are you talking about?

I mean, that doesn't make any sense.

Dough is sticky.

It sticks to your hand.

But money actually moves around from
person to person, like that $50 you just

gave to Larry.

Like that $50?

Exactly like that $50.

You know, you're absolutely right.

I bet those bills moved around so much,
the germs on them have air sickness.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Lindsay. She's currently on parole for
armed robbery.

The man she was with got ten years.

Got five.

Paroled after two.

Here's your check, sir.

That's a big tip for a girl who didn't
do much.

On the contrary, Mr. Reardon.

She just made me chairman of the board.

You remember me, don't you, George?

I'm not senile, Helen.

No, of course not.

But isn't this a bit extreme?

No.

I think we should go now.

Your son's coming into town.

It's a big problem for him.

Being his son or visiting his father?

Peter, I've got your back.

Well, it looks like I should have stayed
in L .A. What the hell's going on?

And this is Mrs.

Riley, Peter McDermott, our general
manager. How do you do?

I'm from Mendocino General Hospital.

This man is from the hospital?

It seems Mr. Hawk went AWOL. I'm the
social worker at the hospital, and I've

come to take him back.

I know how upset you are about Mr.

Semenovsky. I'm not upset.

He got back to Warsaw in time to die.

I'm happy for him.

He returned to his homeland.

Would you all kindly move back, please?

There's nothing to see here.

I'm Peter McDermott. I manage the hotel.

Could we go into my office and speak
privately?

I think you'd be more comfortable there.

What's with sitting both?

Anything for a little attention.

Why don't you just be quiet?

I'm sure you don't want to cause any
trouble.

Why don't we go into my office?

Okay?

Only if I can return here.

I need your word.

You have it.

gate, folks. That's it. It's all over.

Go away now. Thank you.

Yeah, that's one of the advantages of a
corporate suite.

No, no, no. I'll be early on the week.

Yeah. Let me call you back.

Yeah, right.

Just a minute.

Hi.

There's something I've got to tell you.

If it's about this morning, you were
right to be angry.

If you care for someone, there's no room
for secrets.

But it's no secret how much I care for
you.

You hardly know me, Morgan.

I know how I feel.

Isn't that all that counts?

Now, what do you want to tell me?

That, uh... I love you.

And then George decided to build a
school for Native American children.

He'd always been generous, but suddenly
he was just giving everything away to

the school.

So the court had to name his son
conservator to keep the company from

bankrupt. He's very ill, isn't he?

He's dying.

Leukemia. What can the hospital do for
him if he goes back?

Very little.

It's too far advanced.

I...

I have only one choice.

Before there were San Franciscans, there
were Miwok and

Costanoans. My people came from the
Guanaloa, what you now call Zarzalito.

They settled here, on this hill.

It is here I choose to die.

Your son put you in our care, George.

And we have the legal right to take you
out of here.

I don't believe you do, Mrs. Riley.

The innkeeper's law says that a person
establishes legal residence checking

a hotel.

Christine, will you call downstairs and
have them prepare a room?

Just making it harder.

I'll have to come back with a court
order.

We're just buying time.

I know.

But... I don't need very much.

I brought you something to eat.

Thank you.

I... I'm really not hungry.

You haven't had breakfast at the St.
Gregory.

You're trying very hard, aren't you?

Part of my job is to make sure all of
our guests are comfortable.

There's something else, isn't there?

I see it in your eyes.

What makes such beauty so sad?

Try and eat something.

What do you think?

Portrait of a man going to the top.

The executive committee's inquisition is
today.

Nervous? A little.

But with you by my side, nothing could
stop me.

Next time we meet, I just might be
chairman of the board.

Julie? Kate.

Do me a favor, huh?

Tell Harry I won't be coming in.

My mom's sick, and I'm going to catch a
bus.

Well, I don't know exactly, but it's
going

to be a while.

A long while.

Why are you so anxious to have him stay
here?

Why are you so anxious to have him go?

You heard Mrs. Riley.

He's terminally ill. We can't care for
him properly here.

Uh -oh.

Too easy.

All this makes you real uncomfortable,
doesn't it?

I've seen it all before, Peter.

Back home in Oklahoma.

The feathers, the beads, the kids
laughing.

Kids can be cruel, you know that.

I never told you about my uncle.

He was part Indian.

A Choctaw.

I was only ten when he died.

But I'll never forget his funeral.

Funerals are hard when you're young.

It was a traditional ceremony.

When I got back to school, the kids all
knew.

They pulled my hair.

They laughed at me.

Nobody's laughing at you, Christine. No,
but they're laughing at him, aren't

they?

They're laughing at George.

At White Wing Hawk.

He brought it all back to me.

Everything I should have been proud of.
But I tried to hide.

Like my uncle.

I'm part Choctaw, too, Peter.

Not much, but just enough to make my
heart break.

Excuse me.

Thank you for seeing us.

This is Edward Palmer, George's son.

Hello, Mr. Palmer. How do you do?

Thank you.

Christine Francis, Edward Palmer.

Hello.

Our attorney tells us that your
innkeeper's law is just a lot of mumbo

Edward?

I'm sorry, Mr. McDermott, but I'm in
complete agreement with Mrs. Riley.

So you see, I have Edward and the law on
my side.

And we're here to take George back.

This is really beginning to bug me.

Mark is supposed to be a friend. He's
got some nerve for getting Yosel's 50

bucks. He's apparently a real sensitive
nerve.

From his memory to his wallet.

Yeah, well, damn it. I'm going to ask
him for it.

No time like the present.

I bet you thought I had forgotten.

What?

No, no. Of course not.

I'm really sorry, Megan. The truth is I
did forget.

But here it is.

Thanks, Mark.

I knew you'd come through.

Do you think your niece will really like
it? I spoke to the cashier, and she's

keeping her eye out for some Italian
lira.

Some Italian lira?

Well, I got it right, didn't I? She
wanted an Argentinian note for her

You really did it this time, didn't you?

Doing what I must do.

Making a fool of yourself?

Making a public spectacle of yourself?
Next thing you know, they'll be selling

tickets. Let them do whatever they want.

really understood me, have you, Eddie?

All my life, I've been afraid of people
recognizing me for what I was.

Native American Indian.

Miwa.

Well, finally, I feel proud about
myself.

These robes and the shell necklace, is
that supposed to make you feel proud?

It's what our people wore.

Our people?

Everybody in this city, everybody in
this country are our people.

I don't understand the point of any of
this.

White Wing Hawk has given me his
strength.

Dying is just journeying home again.

I was hoping to catch my son.

He left a while ago, Mrs. Christopher. I
was just on my way out. I don't suppose

Morgan told you?

I am an insufferable busybody.

Well, Morgan and I haven't told each
other much of anything.

You're leaving.

I don't have a choice.

You're a cocktail waitress.

Morgan is an executive of a major
corporation.

You might even be chairman of the board.

If the two of you don't run scared.

You'll only be chairman when I'm out of
the picture.

Don't be ridiculous.

You won't be serving martinis forever.

I also serve time.

I'm probably the first ex -con you've
ever met, huh?

That's true.

spent two years in prison for armed
robbery and assault with a deadly

It isn't possible.

I didn't point the gun, but I was with
the man who did it.

Surely it wasn't your fault.

I was there. I didn't do anything to
stop it. Law says I'm guilty.

What do you say?

I was wrong to think that Morgan and I
ever had a future.

Where did she go? She just ran out.
She's probably still running.

I have to find her.

Why? To prove something to yourself?

To make some kind of statement about
social equality?

I didn't fall in love with a statement.

Then go after her.

You could lose the chairmanship of the
process.

Kate's prison record could affect the
committee's decision.

Unless, of course, they don't hear about
it until after the interview.

If we know about Kate's past, then Paul
Shanks knows.

Besides, if he hasn't told the board
yet, then I will.

Family trait.

We're all so damned ethical.

This is the location of the village.

You know what's there today?

Your hotel.

Where did the map come from?

That's part of the land grant.

Dad said his father gave it to him.

His father before him.

At least we know he's not making it up.

I never thought he was.

It's embarrassing to hear, doesn't it?

When I was a kid, the only Indians we
saw were on TV attacking a wagon train.

Dad wore a suit and a tie and he went to
the office every day.

Never even mentioned his Indian blood.

But you knew.

A couple of years ago when Dad found out
he was sick, he started digging into

his past.

There's still a few Miwoks in Northern
California.

That's when he got the idea of building
their own school.

Why do you think he got the idea of
dying at St. Gregory?

You can blame Mr. Chimanowski for that.

It's an old pal of Dad's. He was born in
Poland.

When he found out he had cancer, he said
his goodbyes and went back to Warsaw.

He died there last month.

You and I are alike.

We've lived in hiding too long.

I read it in your heart.

So in your eyes.

Every trace of me must die also, as we
Miwok believe.

Oh, Dad, come on, please.

No.

I've lived a shame too long.

I want to die proud.

You will, White Winged Hawk.

You'll find a way.

Christina's my witness.

She'll see that you do.

You have my word.

May I have your attention at the
terminal, please?

Those passengers traveling to Berkeley,
Richmond, Vallejo, Fairfield, Guadalupe,

Sacramento, Reno, and Point Seast. Door
5, all aboard, please.

Julie told me what you said.

Why are you doing this, Kate? You read
my letter. You want to lose everything,

your future, your career.

You leave me and I really will lose
everything.

Don't say that. It's dangerous to fall
in love with a loser. I did one.

I love you.

Give me a chance to prove it.

I'll just screw it up.

You have no chance with my shadow on
you.

Come outside with me.

Keep your face to the sun.

You'll never see a shadow again.

Mark, there's something we need to talk
about. I am so bad at balancing my

checkbook. I never deducted the 50 bucks
you guys lent me.

You mean you remember?

I just hope I'm not overdrawn.

Well, how come you're deducting the 50 I
lent you?

I'm not. I'm deducting the check I gave
to Dave.

The check you gave to Dave?

Yeah, you'd gone off duty, remember? So
I gave it to Dave.

You repaid my 50 bucks to Dave?

Oh, no, my check didn't bounce, did it?

Only into Megan's purse.

I just remembered.

Mark gave the check to me, and I gave it
to you.

I can't believe we forgot.

He gave it back. I am so embarrassed.

I had it in here the whole time.

Oh, I'm glad you guys are still here.

I'm just a little confused.

Was there a problem with my check?

What? No. No, no problem.

Well, sorry, I seemed a little
preoccupied in there. I didn't mean to

the cold shoulder.

You gave us a lot more than a cold
shoulder.

Cold eggs, cold ice cream, cold milk?

Change your mind like that.

You're as irresponsible as your father.
I won't deny him his last wish.

If you took him back to the hospital,
how much time would he have?

Another week? Two? That's not the point.
His last days should be made as

comfortable as possible.

I'm just doing my job. I'm his son.

It's my job now. Under the terms of your
father's commitment, you made us

responsible. The whole world is black
and white to you, isn't it? I mean,

everything by the rules?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I really am.

but there are reasons for those rules.

Well, somehow they don't mean very much
when my father is dying. Mr.

McDermott, will you please try to get
him to understand?

My only concern is George's best
interests.

Do I have to get a policeman in here to
protect them?

Well, you can bring him in to the
National Guard for all I care.

I think a court order and an ambulance
will be enough.

Wait much longer, Lydia. We've got to go
inside.

Morgan appears to be tardy.

It might surprise you to learn I'm aware
of his lady friend's record.

You could never surprise me, Paul.

I expect so little of you.

I expected a lot more from your son.

The fact that he wants to marry a
convicted criminal tells me he's not

be chairman.

Really?

It tells me just the opposite.

It's a question of honor, Paul.

Something you've never quite got the
hang of.

All right, let's go in. We'll begin with
Mr. Shanks.

Just as well. I have information I'm
sure the committee will find

Something that affects Mr.

Christopher's suitability for
leadership. Thanks for the introduction,

I think I can tell it better than you
can.

Feel free to jump in if I leave anything
out.

All right, folks, let's get started.

Christine Francis?

She has.

All right, thank you.

I'm sorry, Edward.

Mrs. Riley's coming back.

She has her court order.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me have your
attention, please.

After careful consideration of both
business acumen and personal character,

difficult decision was made.

And I'm very proud to introduce you to
Corona International's new chairman of

the board, Mr. Morgan Christopher.

This is a toast I've long anticipated
making with deep pleasure.

To Corona stockholders, to our future,
and to our dear friend Morgan.

Pardon me, miss.

Just one thing.

Don't call me Mr. Chairman in front of
the children.

Tell me, Mr. Chairman, are the rich
really very different from everyone

They sure are.

They always get to have the first dance.

Mrs. Riley, please.

Just wait. I'm sorry. We can't wait any
longer.

for god's sake i have an ambulance
waiting outside don't touch him
