All language subtitles for Hotel - S03E07 - Echoes

It's kind of a kick being back here as a
guest. Well, your old typewriter's

still around if you get bored.

Laura's going to have a new career,
being Mrs. Michael Devlin.

Oh, six weeks in Denver and it's orange
blossoms and wedding bells?

What is your secret?

Right place, right time, and the right
guy.

So, do I get an invitation?

Well, actually, we're just going to
adjust a piece, something nice and

and then we're off to the Orient on a
honeymoon.

Christine, we do need a witness.

Would you?

It would mean so much to me. Oh, of
course.

Tell me where and when.

See, that didn't hurt, did it?

Listen, I've got a phone in Hong Kong.
I'll see you upstairs.

Sure was a pleasure to meet you,
Christine. Thank you.

Any more like him in Denver?

Nope. I get the one and only.

I just hope it's not all happening too
fast.

Roses are magnificent, aren't they?

Do you have dendrobium orchids?

Of course.

Oh, beautiful orchid.

Yes. Would you have them sent up to Mrs.
Cabot with this card?

Certainly. I'm sure she'll love them.

I hope so.

Peter, there is a considerable sum
involved here. I know. It's a lot of

Look, I've got to get across town. What
exactly is the question? The investment

credit and the depreciation schedule.

Today is our deadline for claiming it on
the quarterly return. We need an

opinion on Section 1426.

You'll have to get an opinion from Ed
Banner. Who is Ed Banner? The new tax

attorney. Mr. McDermott, I have got to
file this tonight.

Banner will be here soon. Take it up
with him.

Your cutting is pretty thin.

If you have any problems, let me know.

You look dead.

Why don't you go home and conk out?

Professor Abernathy's final is in two
hours.

It's too late for sleep.

You're going to do fine. I know you are.

Megan, it's all blank.

Two weeks of cramming, my brain has
turned to cream of wheat.

You've just been studying too hard.

It's all going to be there. You'll see.

It's no use.

I'm doomed.

Fine.

I thought you had today off. I'm going
to be wearing that Billman's jacket

forever.

Dave, would you do me a favor?

Would you take this up to Peter's
office?

Sure.

Is he okay?

Final.

Right. I'll be bringing the export
licenses with me and the new Mrs.

We'll be in Hong Kong on the 4th.

I'll see you then. Bye -bye.

Is this honeymoon going to be business
or pleasure?

All pleasure with just a little bit of
business thrown in during the rest

period.

Fascination.

It's from my favorite movie, Love in the
Afternoon.

I thought you had a heavy business
meeting.

It'll keep.

Everything okay?

Sure.

I feel like I've caught the brass ring
and I'm never giving it back.

Miss McDermott isn't in. May I take a
message?

Christine said to bring this.

If you'll hold on, I'll see if I can
find it in the file.

I'm sorry, he's out for the afternoon.

Do you know what time it is?

320. Now, this whole thing depends upon
the legal interpretation of Section

1426, Paragraph 3, Article 7.

Section 1426, Paragraph 3 was thrown out
in appellate court.

Cahill v.

Tully, Section 1426B now applies.

1426B? Right.

You would now... I suppose you'll build
the St. Gregory for three hours' work.

And you're planning additional security?

Four men from the police department and
a liaison from the embassy to take names

at the door.

Oh, well, that should please the
premier's people.

Did you just arrive, Mrs. Cabot? There's
a card.

Something wrong?

Stephen used to send me these special
orchids on our anniversary.

It would have been today.

Jason Fielding.

He wants to meet with me.

Does the name mean anything?

Maybe a secret admirer.

Don't be disappointed if it turns out to
be a travel package or looking for

another discount.

Yes, and some fresh strawberries and
some thick, rich cream.

Thank you.

How long have we been engaged, Mr.
Devlin?

Twenty -six days, three hours, and ten
minutes.

And they've been the happiest days of my
life.

Where do you see Japan? It is
magnificent.

Oh, there are so many places that I want
to share with you. My mother warned me

about traveling men.

Don't knock it. The shopping in Hong
Kong is spectacular.

Anything special you want?

A couple of beautiful children with your
eyes.

Laura, I'm 48 years old.

A young man.

Who already had two teenage sons,
remember?

We're going to travel. We're going to
have some time for ourselves.

Of course we will.

But children are important, too.

I've got to meet an export in about half
an hour. I'd better grab a shower.

Mrs. Cabot, sweet, please.

Mrs. Cabot, sweet.

May I speak to Mrs. Cabot, please? This
is Jason Fielding.

One moment, please.

Who is it, Kai?

Uh, Mr.

Jason Fielding?

Oh, well, you better take a message.

No, uh, I'll take it.

This is Victoria Cabot.

My name is Jason Fielding, Mrs. Caput.

Yes?

I hope you didn't think it forward of me
sending you the flowers.

No, not at all.

Thank you, they're very lovely.

I was wondering if we could meet.

Well, I have a rather full schedule, Mr.
Fielding.

Could you tell me what it's regarding?

Perhaps a member of my staff could help.

Well, it's personal.

E .P., I've got a charter boat I run out
of Maui called the Wanderlust.

We've got a mutual friend.

And who is that?

Could we talk about it in person?

I know you're busy, and I'm sorry if I
interrupted, but I'll be down in the

Cavalier bar.

Maybe you get a chance to stop by.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Well, if you can.

Thank you.

You got here quick?

What happened to your business meeting?

Well, I got about halfway there and I
realized this was a lot more important,

particularly since we're going to get
married the day after tomorrow.

Laura, I don't want to be unfair to you,
but you've got to understand what

you're getting into.

My children are in college.

I have a business that takes me all over
the world.

And I want you with me.

I can't go back to changing diapers.

What about me, Michael?

I want a baby.

I want to look at it and see you.

If we had a kid, I would be an old man
before he could even throw me a

How do you know it would be a he?

Laura, you're not listening to me.

That part of my life is over.

Well, for me, it hasn't even started.

I don't want to give up the idea of
being a mother.

I can't.

Laura, please try to understand.

It isn't a question of choice anymore.

I can't give you any children.

I've had a vasectomy.

I'm Victoria Cabot.

Yes, I know.

Please join me.

Have we met?

No. You mentioned a mutual friend.

Well, not exactly a friend, Mrs. Cabot.

Oh?

Your late husband, Stephen Cabot, was my
father.

You forgive me for being skeptical, Mr.
Fielding, but I find this all very hard

to take.

I know, and I'm sorry.

Maybe I shouldn't have told you. My
husband and I were married for 32 years.

I think I would have known if he'd
fathered a father. He never knew about

Mrs. Cabot.

Oh, God.

You see, my mother is a...

It's a very proud woman.

She worked for him for a time, but when
she learned she was pregnant, she left

quietly.

Why should I believe you?

Why should I allow you to hurt me like
this?

I didn't want to hurt you.

But you have.

You've accused my husband of being
unfaithful.

Now, you must have a reason.

I just want to learn more about my
father.

You already seem to know quite a bit.

Special orchids on our special day.

The Wanderla, the name of his yacht.

I didn't think you'd mind if I borrowed
the name from my boat.

You see, I've got a scrapbook full of
clippings from the newspapers.

I see you wear the same kind of watch.

You've been very thorough.

The watch was his.

It was broken. My mother kept it.

When I grew up, she had it restored and
gave it to me.

It's the only thing of fathers that I
have.

Why the hell didn't you tell me,
Michael? Why?

I wanted to.

It's not fair to wait right before the
wedding. A hundred times I tried to tell

you, but I was afraid. I was afraid if
you knew the truth that you'd leave me.

And now what?

You want me to accept the idea of a
partial marriage? And we'll have a

life together, Laura.

Oh, yes.

With one very important part missing.

Children. I love you, Laura.

I don't want to lose you.

You better go to your damn business
meeting.

Our marriage was no different from any
other.

There was a time when we had some
difficulty.

We even lived separately for a brief
period.

I suppose that's when... I find it hard
to believe he wouldn't have said

something.

Stephen never even knew he accepted.

It's a shame. He's a nice young man.

And after all these years, he's just
come to pay a visit?

Imagine.

Stephen's own flesh and blood.

Are you sure he's telling the truth?

Of course I am.

He knows everything about Stephen. He
even has his old wristwatch.

If Stephen Cabot was a public figure, it
wouldn't be hard to find out a few

things about him.

Have initials engraved on an old watch?

Does he want anything?

Peter, don't be a worrywart. He wants to
find out about his father.

And nothing more?

Of course not.

Thank you, Larry.

Where's Michael?

He had some business to finish.

Oh.

Laura, I got a call from Chad this
morning.

Oh.

I hope you don't mind, but I wasn't sure
whether or not to tell him you were

here.

No, that's okay.

I was going to call him before we left.

He took it pretty hard. I guess he
thought we'd go on forever.

Laura, I don't mean to be a busybody,
but I seem a little down for a girl

about to walk down the aisle.

Michael just laid a bombshell on me.

What?

He can't have any children.

He's had, um... You know, he's had a
vasectomy.

Oh, God, I can't believe this is
happening.

What am I going to do? I thought it was
his.

What? You thought what was his?

Christine, I'm pregnant.

Tad?

Gloria!

Oh, God.

Hands are kind of dirty.

Hello, Tad.

Thanks for coming.

It's wonderful to see you again.

I just wanted to wish you well.

I wasn't exactly at my best when we said
goodbye, and I just wanted us

to only remember the good times.

Same old Chad still living out of a
trailer.

Yeah.

Yeah, still looking for that perfect
form. Oh, it's beautiful.

Look at me, forgetting my manners. How
would you like to have a little of this

fine camp coffee?

No, thank you.

There, um, isn't an easy way to lead up
to this, except just to say it.

I'm pregnant.

Hey, that's great.

Congratulations.

You always wanted a kid, didn't you?

Yeah.

Michael happy about that?

He doesn't know.

Know what?

What's the matter?

The baby isn't Michael's.

He's had a vasectomy.

It must have happened before we said
goodbye.

I don't know what to do.

We'll get married, you and me. Laura, I
never stopped loving you.

Don't.

If it was meant to be for us, it would
have happened a long time ago.

You can't blame him for trying.

That is my... my kid growing in there.

Laura, I could try to be more
responsible.

You know what our problem was.

You didn't need me.

You really don't need anyone.

Michael does.

I do love him so.

I understand the guy with the orchids
turned out to be a relative of sorts.

That's what he said.

You don't believe it?

Well, let's just say I don't want her to
get hurt.

Do a little digging around of your own,
will you, Billy?

I'm already on it.

How'd you decide to become a seafaring
man?

I was floundering at UCLA.

So, I decided to become a merchant
seaman.

And five years later, I was hooked on
salt air.

Captain of the Wanderlust.

I ran turf between the islands of
Hawaii.

With everything I ever wanted.

What?

We got beat up pretty badly in a gale.
She was a good boat.

But she was old.

So the owners tried to take the
insurance money and retire.

Well, then you're out of work.

A temporary setback.

I could help you find work in San
Francisco.

No, thanks. I've got plans.

You want to share them?

I, uh, I am family.

Sort of, anyway.

I'm gonna get my own boat, and I'm gonna
be my own boss. I've already saved up a

little. The banks are not enthusiastic
about backing me.

Well, a boat like that's expensive.

As soon as I come up with another 50
,000, with what I've saved, I can make a

deal, the owner will carry the rest, and
I've already found her. Oh, she's a

dream of a schooner, and she's right
here in San Francisco.

Maybe I can help.

That's not why I came to see you, Mrs.
Cabot.

Not for money.

I believe you.

Yeah? Ed Banner from the tax office on
2.

How are you, Ed?

Peter, listen, we've got a little
problem.

How little?

Well, Carmody got this filing all wrong,
and he's left for Washington.

Could cost you a bundle. What did you
tell him? I didn't tell him anything.

did you tell him?

Nothing. I never saw him. I got tied up
in court.

Look, the accounting firm says they've
got my okay on this. What's going on?

Beats me. I left him here in my office
waiting for you.

Weird.

I'll leave a call for him in D .C.

Terry, when I left Carmody in my office,
who did he talk to?

Nobody. I was on the phone and nobody
went in there.

Well, except Dave.

Dave Kendall? He dropped off some papers
for you.

Michael, we can't not talk about it.

I know.

I know how disappointed you are, but I'm
going to make it up to you. I'm going

to make you happy in other ways you'll
see.

Michael, I have something to tell you.

It's beautiful.

It's a belated engagement present.

What is it?

There isn't an easy way to tell you
this.

Michael, I'm going to have a baby.

That's not possible.

It's true.

How long have... When did you find out?

A few days ago.

We've been together only two months.
Michael, I'm sorry.

I thought it was your child until you
told me about... Who's the father?

Chad.

You said that was over. It was.

I mean, it is.

Really? But you're still sleeping with
him?

No, you don't understand. I understand.

I understand perfectly.

You were right about one thing.

Maybe all this did happen too fast.

Michael, please.

It's all settled.

We'll go to the marina tomorrow after
breakfast and take a look. Okay.

Oh, Peter.

I'd like you to meet Jason Fielding, my
stepson.

This is Peter McDermott, my general
manager.

How do you do, sir? Mr. Fielding?

Well, I'm going to turn in.

See you tomorrow?

Nice to meet you, Mr. McDermott. Thank
you. Good night.

You're right.

He's a fine -looking young man.

He is, isn't he?

He's trying to get back into the charter
boat business.

I've decided to help him.

I thought he didn't want anything from
you.

He doesn't.

It was my idea.

Victoria, are you sure you know what
you're doing?

Stephen would have been proud of him.

He would have wanted me to help.

You know, except for what he's told you,
you really don't know anything about

him.

Peter, I appreciate your concern, but
please let it go.

I asked Billy to do some checking.

Jason did run a boat in Hawaii, and he
has a mother in Santa Rosa.

But there's absolutely nothing to
connect him with Stephen Cabot.

I didn't authorize an investigation.

You don't have any proof that he's
Stephen Cabot's son.

Peter, your job is to manage my hotel.

Not my personal life.

I'll have to replace some of the
rigging.

The sail covers are a little frayed.

But the hull's sound, she's got a diesel
auxiliary.

The sails are almost new.

See how nicely varnished she is, though?

She's beautiful.

Watch your step.

Let's take a lot of know -how to run a
boat like this.

Well, I did it for someone else.

It's time to be my own man.

That's how Steven would have felt.

I wish I'd known him.

He must have been quite a man.

You are.

You loved him very much, didn't you?

I did.

You wanted to see me, Mr. McDermott?

Dave, were you in here yesterday?

Oh, yes, sir. I brought some papers up
for Christine.

Uh -huh. Was anybody else here?

Yeah. A guy with glasses.

Had a black briefcase, I think.

I've left calls all over Washington.
Nothing.

What did he say to you? Well, it's all a
blur.

I remember he asked me something.

What?

Something about tax law.

Oh.

What did he ask you and what did you
tell him? It's very important.

I can't remember.

I'm sorry about last night.

Where did you go?

Walking, thinking.

Yes, I've been doing some thinking too.

I have no right to judge you, Laura.

You had a life before we met third eye.

It looks like we both brought mistakes
into this relationship.

I'm sorry. I can't do anything about
mine.

Michael, I want this baby.

You're asking me to raise someone else's
child?

Why do you think of it as someone else's
child?

It's mine.

You can't give me any, right? This may
be my only chance, my last chance.

Oh, Peter.

When Mr. Griffin was checking around,
did he come up with an address for

mother?

Mm -hmm. Shall I have him call you?
Please.

You have to find out certain things for
yourself.

I'm sorry about what I said last night.

You were right.

No, no. That's no way to talk to a
friend who's looking out for you.

I didn't want you to get burned.

Some things are worth a few thin tears,
don't you think?

It's important to you, isn't it?

I wish Stephen were here right now so I
could get really angry.

But what he did isn't Jason's fault.

I mean, Stephen's gone.

But maybe...

A part of him has come into my life.

You're damn right it's important.

It is an awkward situation.

Yes, it is.

I just wanted you to know that last
night that Laura and I were together...

It's when she told me about you.

She told me she loved you.

And she said goodbye.

I appreciate you telling me.

Thank you. Not that I deserve that much
credit.

After all, I did ask her to come back to
me.

I asked her to marry me.

But it didn't work.

So now all I want is to know that she's
not going to get hurt.

I love her.

She wants the baby.

I thought that fatherhood was behind me,
but if that's what Laura wants... It'll

be our child.

Hers and mine.

That's all I wanted to know.

Come on, Dave. It can't be as bad as all
that. I could be prosecuted for

practicing law without a license.

He could only remember what you told
him, man. It was all that studying.

Everything was popping around in my head
like popcorn.

Probably blew the exam, too.

Well, at least Peter didn't fire you.

Yet.

I always knew.

Someday Jason would seek you out.

I'm glad he did.

He's obsessed with Stephen Cabot.

Since he was a little boy, he's wanted
to know more about his father.

He even keeps a scrapbook.

You never married?

No.

Must have been difficult for you.

We managed.

I inherited a little money.

But a boy needs a father, someone to
look up to, a role model.

Yes.

I'm sure Jason told you I worked for
him.

Yes. I couldn't give Jason a father like
other boys had, but I could give him

Stephen Cabot.

I don't wish to cause you any pain, but
I have to know.

He's Jason Stevens' son.

I've struggled with my self -respect all
my life, Mrs. Cabot.

But I understand your need to know the
truth.

Jason's father was a man who passed
briefly through my life.

Jason found the clippings I kept and
assumed Stephen Cabot was his father.

I didn't deny it. I let the fiction
grow.

It would be devastating to Jason if he
learned the truth.

I don't see why he should ever know.

Thank you.

I think Stephen would have liked Jason,
don't you?

I've spent 15 years building up the
business.

Whatever happens to us today, I have to
be on that plane.

Maybe we should wait.

Maybe we shouldn't be in such a rush to
get married.

Gambling scares me. Hold on.

I know how much you want this baby.

Why can't we raise it as our own?

I could learn to live with it.

So you're willing to forgive me? Yes.
Wait a minute.

I'm not ashamed of anything I've done.

This happened before we met. You know
that. I didn't mean it that way. Why

aren't you willing to share in this a
little? I didn't know about your

operation. I thought this was our child.
Laura, please.

You're going. You just go.

I'll send someone out for my bags.

Laura, I'm sorry.

Am I early?

You wanted to be the justice of the
peace at once.

There's been a change of plans.

Laura, what is it? What happened? I
guess I shouldn't have lifted the

This is Christine Francis.

Get Dr. Kelly to the Macau suite.

Right away.

You're going to be fine.

And so was the baby.

But no more lifting anything heavy.

As a matter of fact, I would advise you
not to take that trip to the Orient.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you, Doctor.

Is there anything else I could do for
you?

No. Thanks for being here.

Michael and I won't be needing a
witness.

Christine. Christine.

I'm sorry about our change of plans. I
should have called you.

It's all right.

It's just that, you know, everything
happens so fast and the pressure of the

trip and everything. So we decided to
wait.

I better get going. I've got a plane to
catch.

Michael.

Listen, I don't know how important this
trip is to you, but I do know that

planes leave for Hong Kong every day.

Laura loves you. She needs you now.

This is none of my business.

But maybe you need to decide what comes
first.

Did you find out what you wanted to
know?

Found out what I didn't want to know.

He's, uh, not Stephen's son.

No.

But he believes he is.

It's complicated.

I'm sorry, Victoria.

I wanted Jason to be Stephen's son so
badly.

Family's very important to me.

I have so precious little of it.

I began to feel a little needed by
somebody.

What about the boat?

Peter, you're going to think I'm
foolish.

I'm going to see that he gets his boat.

Hey, I only run your hotel.

Is it really that bad?

Even if we refile, we've missed the
cutoff date for the tax credit. It's all

spelled out in section 1426.

Section 1426, paragraph 3 was thrown out
in appellate court.

Kale versus Tully, section 1426B now
applies.

What?

That's what I told him. Where'd you get
that, Dave?

Abernathy's class notes on tax law.

Class notes?

I better check it out.

I hope you haven't cost your boss a
bundle of money.

Fielding is here.

Jason, I wasn't expecting you.

Well, I came to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

But we haven't finished the details
about the boat. It's very generous of

And very tempting, but I can't accept
the money.

It's all arranged.

You see, my father would have figured
out some way to get that money on his

You've got it all figured out.

You see, I came to get to know the woman
that my father married.

And to me, that's worth more than the
boat.

All right.

You've accomplished that.

Now what about making a living?

I'll work it out.

Let me tell you about your father.

You know how he got started in the hotel
business?

No.

He borrowed a down payment from his aunt
Elsie.

She was in sugar cane, I think.

Really? Really.

And Stephen Cabot never backed down on a
deal he made.

This is not a gift.

This is a loan with a boat of security.
I expect every penny back with interest.

But I thought... I would never have
considered this business arrangement if

hadn't made a thorough investigation.

Look, if you don't take this check, I'm
going to have serious doubts about your

ability to make a success of our
venture.

You won't be sorry, Mrs. Cabot.

Michael, you'll miss your plane.

I missed it.

I got halfway to the airport and I
finally figured it out.

But your business, your appointments.

They're just things, Laura.

Things that can be canceled and changed.

It's just stuff that puts more money in
the bank.

So what?

What I really want is here.

I don't want to lose what we've got.

Neither do I.

I never did.

I should have been honest with you from
the start. We both should have been

honest. So what if we don't know
everything about each other? That's half

fun, isn't it?

What do you say we tough it out?

What about the baby?

If having this baby is going to make you
happy, It's going to make me happy.

You don't mind. I mean, starting over.

Hey, I've got a couple of good years
left. You know, throwing a football

might get me into pretty good shape.

Even knowing that...

Even

knowing that...

I've been looking for you.

Oh, Mr.

McDormand. Yeah, I thought you'd want to
hear a Carmen he called from

Washington. He said the new lawyer was
right.

Seems like he saved us a pretty good
chunk of money.

I did?

You mean he thought that... Mm -hmm.

I didn't want to embarrass Banner.

You look tired. Why don't you take the
night off? Have a nice dinner with

On me.

Oh, but I can't. That's okay.

Deductible.

I don't know how to thank you.

For everything.

Don't make that sound like a serious
goodbye. I plan to stay in closest

I won't let you down.

I know.

Do you mind being kissed?

By your new business partner?

Oh,

you take care of all of those.

I've named her.

The Victoria.

He even walks like Stephen did.

What I thought his mother said.

Yes, yes, that's what she said.

I didn't say I believed him.
