Josh: He was taken to ceds.

Josinjected himself with a drug. That tox drug. The same one that was used to kill the woman at the county club. But t doesn't look like it's going to make it.
Reva: The ship.
Josh: What did you say?
Reva: On my way here I had an image of a ship sailing away and disappearing over the horizon. This explains it. So ben's the murderer?
Josh: It looks at way.
Reva: Foupeople dd at t hands of someone so yog. Someone we thought we knew. It's almost impossible to believe.
Josh: He and marah we're dati living under the same roof. Mean, could you imagine possibilities, what might have happened to her.
Reva: Or to shayne trying to protect marina.
Josh: It kif putsur problems in perspective, doesn't it?
Reva: Yeah. We're going to have to p t aside so that we can help marah and shayne get through this.

frank: Read do this, hoy?
Marina: Yh. I ess.
Darci: Aynet's go outside. Givem some privacy.
Marina: No. I want him to stay here.
Shayne: Then I'm not going anywhere.
Frank: Do you know what would happen if I drove Marina right now to springfield to get her statement? It would turn into a regular media circus. And I don't think any ofs real want that to happen.
Shayne: Look, let me handle the reporters, okay. I'm used to telling them to stuff it.
Marina: Shayne, it's okay. D, just turn the thing on. Want to get this over with.
Ben reade.
He's going to be okay. He's going to be okay.
He's going to be fine.
Rick: The ambulance is coming in.
Jeffrey: Rick?
Rick: No. Mel, hey. Where do you want him?
Mel: All rit, what do we t?

Rick: What?
Jeffrey: What are his chances? And give it to me straight.
Rick: If ben injected himself with somyn--
Jeffrey: Somynol. One of the ems guy confirmed it.
Ric then even a relatively small does thas nded for a woman...
Jeffrey: Like marina cooper.
Rick: Can be fatal.
Jeffrey: Can be or will be, door?
Rick: There's no way to revee the fect this toxin. Es that answer your question?
Jfreyall right. Yes, that answered my quon. Ink I gowork to do. I'm going to get started right now. And don't look at me like that. You're the medical eminer in this tN. You've seen corpse after corpse pile up at the morgue, oy.We need A. We ed a confession. We need it now and we need it on tape. Otherwise all we have is hearsay and speculation. And that, doctor, is nothing.
Phillip: In the time itould taketo pick it all up, I can ve it put together.
Olivia: How did you get in here?
Phillipworked a littl charm on one of yo housekeepers. $50 worth of charm. What would you guess a spring release chassis divider looks like? You know, it's not bad enough that these instructions are half in danh. The pictures are half in danis oh, wait a minute. Maybe this. No.
Olivia: (Laughs)
Phillip: What's so funny?
Olivia: I really wish that had a picture of ts.
Phillip: Yeah. Well, I hate to break it to you, but I happen t very handy.
Olivia: Oh, right. You're just not used to dealing with divided chassis spring mugs or whatever it is. Lucky me.
Phillip: Does the baby need a crib?
Olivia: No. Not tonight, it doesn'T.
Phillip: Y don't you ju let me finish what I started? You know, it might not take quite as long if you'd like to help.
Olivia: My danish is really lousy.
Phillip: Good. You could fake it.
Olivia: (Grunts) oh, here an idea. Wouldn't it be great if relationships had instructions.
Pll: They d theyin dH.
W tre stoug
>>A: Here.This is ablyhat assis gy-thing.
Phillip: No.
Reva: I think we should dve up to the cabin so that we could be there for shayne.
Josh: Actually that's not a good idea right now.
Reva: Well, hneeds support.
Josh: Right now shayne is the one who is beingupportive. He's being trearin he risked his life to save hers, reva.
Reva: That doesn't surprise me. What I am wondering about though is how he ended in a shack in the mountains in the fst plac
Josh: Well, he and rina drove up there together. They wanted-- privacy.
Reva: Oh, that.
Josh: Yeah.
Reva: Oh. First marah, now se. When did our kids decide to grow up?
Josh: It just happens.
Reva: Yeah, well, I'm not ready for it.
Josh: (Laughs)
Reva: Thought maybe I was, but I'm not. There are so many rotten things out there thife's going to throat tm. And I feel t nd to prote them.
Josh: I'm sure you always wi.
Reva: But the truth is al either one of us could do is lovend sport them and hope they d't make the same mistakes we did.
Josh: Well, not everything we did s a mistake, was it?
Reva: No, we did come up with marah and shayne.
Josh: So when do you suose we're going to talk about it?

Olia:O you're thinking th the fouh child with the third woman will do the trick? Hey, you kno maybe that's y you're so gung-ho of me lately. It's not that you're wild about me. Yojust want to stop screwing up so you can have that family.

Ed: Rand mel are ing everything they can for him.
Hollyahand nobody is saying he's going to be all right. How cod I miss the signs? Every one of them. I had no idea he was so tormented.
Blake: And was from the day he came backo springfield.

Ben: Sex. She wanted it, but I wasn't ready. I couldn'T... she laughed at me.
Jeffr: Then what,? What did you do?
Ben: I put my hands on her throat to make her stop laughing.
Edmund: Holly, the tragedy of abuse isn't just the deceit and e denial. Itan so easily turn a victim into a vicmizer.

En one dayimmons mentioned that some remains have been found in a cave and you knew that those were bridget's remains. And you so knew at it wouldn't take somebody long to idenfy them as such, and then it wouldn't take the police long to intify you as her murrer. So you had to ll him, right? Yokilled jed simmo you straled him and then you threw his body in the la to make it look like a drowning, is that rit?
Ben: I had to. Nobody cou kno
bla: I still can't lieve is iening. Y of it.

Shayne: No. You were the best thing in his life. You can't feel badbouthat.
Marina: I keep thinking about this poem.
Shayne: What poem?
Marina: It's this one by longfellow. I don't even really remember the name. We had to memorize it for hool. I n't know, these two stanzas of it are just stuck in my head. "There are things of which I may not eak; there are dreams that nnot die; and there are thoughts that make the strong heart weak, and bring a pallor into the eek
and a mist before the eye.
Ane words of that fatal
song
come over me like a chill:
'A boy's will is the wind's
will
and the thoughts of youth are
long, long thoughts.
And deering's wo s are fresh
and fair,
and with joyha almost
in
myeart gs ba twander
there
and among the dreams of the
days that were
I find my lost youth again. And the strange and beautiful song,
the groves are r eating it
st l,
a boy's will is the wind's
will, and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.'"
Buzz: He's gone.
Next on "guiding light."
Did you know something about this about ben?
I just feelo ilty, dad.
Honey, no one is blaming you for what happened to B.
Olivia: Are you telling me that lizzie intentionally sent ben up to that cabin?
Marah: Ben's confession cleared you, so you must be glad that he's dead, right?
