Deceived Page #2

---

Two rice and beans.

Do we have any coke?

- Yep.

- No coke. I have another call.

This is Jack Saunders.

I'll pick it up in ten minutes. Thanks.

Hello? Yeah, this is me.

Son of a b*tch!

I can't believe this.

Now, with every...

All right. All right.

I'll be there.

Okay, bye-bye.

- I have to go to Boston.

- Boston?

Of all the stupid times,

with everything that's going on.

What is it?

An auction. The Morgan Collection

is going on the block, 9 a.m.

Under the circumstances,

I can hardly say no.

- When do you have to leave?

- There's a 10:
00 flight.

Honey, could you get my gray suit?

Okay.

Do you need this stuff?

What is it?

American express receipt

and a business card.

Whose'?

- Daniel Sherman.

- Who's he?

Beats me. There's a number on the back.

- I don't know.

- Toss it.

- Do you need a cab, honey?

- No, I'm gonna take the car.

- You had a bad day, didn't you?

- Mmm.

I love you.

And I love you.

Hurry home, honey.

- Sorry I'm late.

- That's okay.

Wow!

Gonna draw straws to see

who gets to go up there.

- I'd love to go up there.

- Was Jack gonna meet you here today?

Nope, he's not here.

I could've sworn

I saw him go into the lounge.

- He's in Boston, back tomorrow.

- Weird.

Adrienne, this is gonna be a lot of work.

We gotta get those guys

with the scaffolding, like pronto.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Earth angel, Earth angel

Will you be mine

Honey?

I love it. It's great!

You shouldn't have done this.

Who says I did it for you?

I should've known.

The weirdest thing

happened to me yesterday.

I was with Charlotte, scouting a job

at the Chesterfield Hotel,

and, um, she said that...

she could've sworn she saw you

going into the lounge there.

Tell me the truth.

Were you in New York City yesterday?

Are you having an affair?

Am I having an affair

at the Chesterfield?

Are you kidding?

They have rotten room service.

You would think

by your sixth anniversary,

you wouldn't have to wait for a table.

By your 60th anniversary,

you don't have to wait.

Of course. Let's have a toast anyway.

Harvey, you're good at that.

Would you make a toast?

No, I'm not feeling witty tonight.

I'll make a toast. Here's the toast.

With deepest gratitude to Adam Lucas.

- Who's Adam Lucas?

- That is a very good story.

I'm gonna see about our table.

I got some clout.

- Tell me a joke, Harv.

- Life sucks.

- What's the punch line?

- There isn't one.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing in particular.

Come on, you can tell me.

I had to go to Tomasz's family

and ask for his bank statements.

God, I felt like such a sh*t!

What were you looking for?

We traced the forgery

to a jeweler in Stuttgart,

who said the necklace was made

for a guy named Daniel Sherman,

who paid $10,000 in traveler's checks.

- Daniel Sherman.

- I'm sure it's an alias.

The point is, there was nothing

irregular in Tomasz's account.

So, now we're all fair game.

Table's ready.

Listen, this is, uh...

This is not what we agreed upon.

No, because it's not...

I told you this before,

that if this came up...

What was...

It's okay. It's no problem.

Yeah, me too.

See you soon. Bye-bye.

- Is everything all right?

- Oh, yeah.

I just realized...

I had to make this long-distance

call to San Francisco,

with the time difference and everything.

It's okay now. It's fine.

Are you all right?

Did I wake you up?

Let's go back to bed.

I'm coloring my bird purple.

- Is he a magic bird?

- Maybe.

- Hi, everybody.

- Hi, Mommy.

- Do you like my coloring?

- I love your coloring.

- That's great. Color the trees.

- What color?

- Hello?

- Is Mr. Jack Saunders there?

He's not in.

Can I take a message?

- What should I use?

- Green.

This is vogue Lingerie.

Mr. Saunders was here the other day

and left his credit card.

Really? You calling from Boston?

No, this is vogue Lingerie

on East 53rd Street...

in Manhattan.

- This is the Saunders residence?

- Yes, 'Ms.

- You have the right number.

- Maybe he'd like to come pick it up.

I'll tell him. Thank you.

- I'm sorry. I didn't know you were in here.

- That's okay.

I was just going through some old papers.

I was getting his suits

for the cleaners,

the ones he took to Boston.

Leave those there

and we'll take them in tomorrow.

- Okay.

- Thanks.

What's going on?

What's all this?

Um, I was just looking for something.

What?

I found this in your suit pocket,

the one you wore to Boston.

You didn't go to Boston.

That was you at the Chesterfield hotel,

wasn't it?

You found a piece of candy in

my suit pocket, a stupid little mint and...

suddenly I'm a liar?

You're accusing me of lying.

And what else?

Of having an affair?

Jesus Christ.

I don't believe this.

Do you have any idea how many

receptions I've been to at the Chesterfield?

Do you have any idea at all?

What else am I lying about, Adrienne?

What else?

What about my nightgown?

What about it?

The lady called

from the lingerie shop.

You left your credit card there...

on 53rd street, in New York.

You told me that you bought it in Boston.

No, I didn't. I never said that.

I never did.

I simply decided to buy you a gift,

and stopped in Midtown...

on my way home from the airport.

What else, Adrienne?

What about Daniel Sherman?

Who?

Daniel Sherman.

You had his business card,

I found it in your suit pocket.

Harvey said they traced the forgery

to a guy with the same name.

Harvey Schwartz.

I'm your husband and you're

listening to Harvey Schwartz.

Do you have any idea

how many people

hand me a business card in a day?

Has it occurred to you...

that Harvey Schwartz

is just as much a suspect...

- in this thing as anybody else?

- Harvey?

You sound so astonished

and yet you suspected me.

I didn't suspect you.

- Yes, you did, Adrienne.

- No, I didn't.

You just did.

Jack, wait a minute.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

Jack, please. Come on.

Let's talk about this.

Honey, don't go.

I can't talk to you.

You wouldn't understand.

Daddy!

Hi, sweetie.

I'll be back, okay?

All right? You be with Mommy.

Been waitin' long?

Mommy, can I paint the roses too?

- Yes. Go get some brushes.

- Okay.

I found a great Italian deli.

- I'll get it.

- Maybe it's Daddy.

Maybe it is.

Good evening, ma'am.

Are you Mrs. Adrienne Saunders?

Yes, I am.

Mr. Dagota?

Your son's personal effects.

I'll need you to sign for them.

Mrs. Saunders.

Mrs. Saunders?

I'll need your signature

on this identification form...

to verify that these are

your husband's personal effects.

Yes...

these are.

Everything feels so wrong.

So strange.

What am I gonna do

with all his clothes?

I just bought him some new shirts.

You just have to wait it out, I guess.

I mean, that's all you can do.

And remember, you always have me.

So if you really need

a change of space...

Granny said Daddy was in heaven.

Do you think he's in heaven?

Is he with his Granny and Papa?

I think so, sweetheart.

But he didn't even say goodbye.
