PEYTON PLACE Episode 363. 08-21-67 Eddie Jacks returns to Peyton Place. WA: Martin Peyton has been challenged. A few hours ago, Steven Cord's wife, Betty, accused Peyton of using Adrienne Van Leyden as a means of breaking up her marriage. And thus achieving the provisions of his bizarre last will and testament. Peyton denied the accusation, but Betty was right. And Peyton knew he had to act without delay, now. Peyton's countermove is to take Adrienne Van Leyden on a mysterious trip out of town. A trip that momentarily blocks Steven Cord's efforts to subpoena the old man's will as evidence of his mental incompetency. Intro: The Peyton limousine drives up to the square and parks in front of the Peyton Place Banking & Trust Co. Lee Webber gets out and goes in the building. Scene 1: Miss Nolan buzzes Steven and Lee goes in his office. Steven hands Lee a folder containing legal papers from Peyton. They swap barbs. Lee says that he is driving Peyton to Boston today. Lee leaves. Steven watches out the window as Lee gets back into the limousine and drives off. The reflection of the camera and camera operator are seen in the reflection off the limousine. Scene 2: Steven calls attorney William Kennerly, Sr. in Boston, dialing ten digits. Kennerly tells Steven that they miss him. Steven asks about the subpoena. Kennerly tells Steven that since they will be on opposite sides it would be best if they didn't talk. Steven ends the call. Scene 3: Rita calls on Rodney. A small fan is oscillating and the water cooler is almost empty. Rita asks Rodney if he understands his father. Leslie wanted Rita to convince Norman to go back to school. Rodney asks Rita how she feels. Rodney picks up a Clarion with the headline: ESCAPE GUN TRACED TO PEYTON Scene 4: Rodney walks over to the Peyton Mill loading dock. He looks in Norman's lunch sack. Norman says there isn't an extra sandwich in there. Rodney asks Norman if he's seen today's newspaper. He hasn't. Rodney accuses Norman of getting the job through blackmail. Scene 5: In Boston, the limousine drives up and Lee helps Adrienne and Martin out. They go into the building and into the a conference room. The room has several bookcases filled with law books. Martin asks Adrienne how much she wants. 50,000 ... 100,000. Adrienne tells Martin that he is cruel. But, he says that he is generous. She wants the letter. William Kennerly, Sr. comes in and joins them. Peyton introduces Adrienne to Kennery. He wants Kennerly to draw up a trust, revocable during his life, and irrevokable after his death, completely separate from his will. He asks what property can be assigned to Adrienne. Kennerly suggests the Hartford property. It will provide about 30 to 50 thousand per year. Kennerly says that they are both mad. Mr. Grayson's partner, Chambers, comes in from outside and hands Peyton a jewel box which he opens. Martin wants Adrienne to select an emerald ring. Scene 6: Eddie Jacks walks on the wharf. He goes to the Tavern and pounds on the door. Ada comes in from the living area. She is greeted by her husband. He had walked off 18 years ago going out for a pack of cigarettes. She is anything but delighted. He leaves an apple with a bite taken out laying on a table. Preview: Leslie talks with Rodney. Betty talks to Steven. LH: I certainly have been fortunate. I have two healthy, intelligent sons. One of whom tries to blackmail me, the other who wants to turn me over to the police. BA: The moment she walked into this place you couldn't take your eyes off of her. And you still can't. She's not making a fool out of your grandfather, she's making a fool out of you.
