The Confession Page #2

around for you?

No, thank you. My appointment

will be here any minute.

I'll serve your breakfast

in the parlor, then.

Just tea this morning, Fulton.

I'm not very hungry.

Besides, there's no

Amish marmalade.

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Mayfield.

Rosie.

No.

It's okay. It's okay.

Forgive me. I know that.

I've been praying for God

to heal you.

He will, on this side or the other.

Speaking of this side, Fulton,

I hope we haven't lost

any momentum

in the preparations

for my annual foundation dinner.

Uh, ma'am, we assumed you might

want to postpone, considering...

No, not at all.

Selig, you have two weeks

to outdo yourself with this menu.

Spare no expense.

Yes, ma'am.

I want this event to be bigger

and better than ever.

This is my chance to outlive myself.

I'll do my best.

So that's my decision.

Of course we'll make

the changes, Laura.

But I prefer to think that you're going

to be with us for a long time yet.

I appreciate that, Harold.

But I can't leave this

to wishful thinking.

Everything goes

to the foundation.

I understand.

Mrs. Bennett,

I'm a little confused.

What about

your husband?

Justin, you've done such a wonderful

job running the foundation

which is why you're here.

And I don't want to hide anything

from you.

I'm grateful for the trust

you've placed in me.

Mr. Yates,

over the past several months,

I have learned that not only

has he liquidated all his stocks,

cashed in

his personal retirement plan,

but borrowed against my estate.

I do love my husband,

but I am not going to lose the estate

my grandparents worked so hard for,

along with my foundation,

to a horse track or a casino.

I will, however, leave Dylan a

modest monthly allowance for a year.

It's tough love,

the only kind of love I'm told

that will end his addiction.

All right, we're clear, then,

that Dylan will no longer

be heir to the estate.

But what about

your biological daughter?

Don't you want to

reconsider her?

No. As hard as it was

trying to find her,

never being able to meet her,

I realized it was wrong of me

to interfere with her life.

And that's how it has to stay.

I'm good for it. What are the lines?

Not happening, Bennett.

Your credit's no good.

Never mind.

Yates? Why are you calling me?

I just left a meeting with your wife.

Because of your

little gambling problem, she's...

She's cutting you out of the will.

She's leaving everything

to the foundation.

You still there?

Yes, I'm here.

Thank you for not letting me

get blindsided by this.

Um...

If I can figure it out,

I'll make it up to you.

I'm counting on it.

Okay.

Another spoonful of sugar?

You all right, sir?

Heh. You don't want
