Monday, July 24, 2006 Maddie comes home after being out all night and refuses to say where she's been. Margo shows up to question her about Lia's murder. Today’s episode was directed by Maria Wagner and written by Judith Donato.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Eve: Maddie, where on earth have you been? I have been worried sick. You're lucky I didn't call the cops to go out looking for you. Eve: You do not get to ignore me, young lady. Maddie: If I wanted this kind of abuse, I'd go back with Mom. Eve: Where have you been? Maddie: Out, okay? I was out. I woke up early, and I went for a walk. Is that a crime? Eve: Maddie, I got up at 3:00 and checked your room. You weren't there. Didn't you learn anything from the last time you snuck out? Maddie: Just leave me alone, Eve. Eve: I have left you alone far too long. I want to know who you were with and what you were doing. Maddie: I told you, I went for a walk. Eve: Then Honey, why do you look like you are about ready to cry? Please, Honey, I know something happened. Tell me. And I want the truth this time.
Maddie: I'm not crying. I have allergies. You're the one that made me go to that stupid allergist back in Chicago, remember? Eve: Maddie, you come in here a mess. You run straight for the shower, you won't answer any questions -- Maddie: Why can't -- I can't take a shower? Eve: I am at the end of my rope here, Maddie. Maddie: Why don't you believe me, Eve? Eve: Because you have been lying to all of us since you left Chicago. Maddie: Oh. Henry: Great, I see our little chick has come home to roost. Maddie: What, did you call him? Henry: When did you get in, Maddie? Was it late last night or was it early this morning? Maddie: Nice, two against one. Henry: I can live with those odds. Maddie: I went for a walk, Henry. End of mystery. Henry: It's the beginning of a cover-up. Maddie: You think I'm lying, too? Henry: I prefer to think of it as a fable, Maddie. Is that coffee? Eve: Help yourself. Maddie: I'll get it for you. Henry: Yeah, let me get two sugars and an ounce of the truth, please. Maddie: I am telling the truth! Eve: I checked her bed. She hasn't been home all night. Maddie: I went for a walk. Henry: You could have walked to Chicago in that time, Sweetheart. Maddie: I stopped at a park to think. Henry: The park? You went to the park? That's where the scary people go when the sun goes down. Maddie: There were no scary people there, Henry. And if you don't believe me, then fine. [Knock at the door] Who else did you call, the marines? Eve: No one. Henry: I'll get it. I'll get it. I was hoping for room service. Margo: Sorry to disappoint. Eve: What are you doing here, Detective? Margo: I wanted to ask Maddie some questions. Do you mind if I come in?
Eve: Detective, please, come in. Henry: It's a little early to be walking the beat, isn't it, Margo? Margo: I'm working a case. Eve: What does it have to do with Maddie? Margo: Well, nothing, I hope. Maddie, do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions? Henry: Oh, it always starts with a couple. Maddie: No, I don't mind. Henry: What do you think? Maddie: Henry, its fine. Margo's a friend. Henry: You know what, look, yeah -- if it's about the girl's car, we can get Burt to fix that up in no time. Margo: It's not about the car. Maddie: What's -- what's it about? Margo: Where were you last night, Maddie? Last night into early this morning? Maddie: Why? Margo: Just answer the question. Maddie: Why can't you tell me? Margo: It's a simple question, Maddie. Maddie: Yes, but I have the right to know why. Henry: The kid has a point, Margo. Margo: You know what, I've been playing this game for a long time. Defiance is never a good way to start these things out. Maddie: I'm not being defiant. Margo: Henry, you want to do your little sister a favor and tell her to cooperate? Maddie: Please, Mrs. Hughes, if you think I did something wrong, please tell me. Margo: You want to know what wrong is? I've got a girl not much older than you that we found stabbed to death at the country club last night. And I just came from the crime scene, so forgive me if I'm not up to treating you with kid gloves. Eve: Dear God. Maddie: Who was it? Margo: Lia -- so Maddie, you've got a choice here, either you answer my questions or we take this downtown and it gets official real fast
Henry: Can we pass on another Coleman family field trip to the police station? Margo: That's up to Maddie. Henry: Madeline, cooperate with the nice detective. Margo: It's a simple question, Maddie. Where were you last night? [Maddie remembering] Lia: You know what, forget that. I'm taking a shower with or without you. Casey: Lia, wait. Lia: So why now, when we can get to know each other even better would you want to go and wreck everything? Casey: Lia, you're making way too much of this. Lia: No, you are. I mean, maybe you're still feeling guilty about that loser girl Maddie. If she's the one you want to be with -- Casey: I wasn't even thinking about her. Lia: Okay, so what is the problem? We're here. We're nearly naked. Stop talking and start doing more of this –
