          Rodney's trial opens.

WA:       Fittingly, autumn has come with a sudden chill to Peyton Place. 
          At 10:00 o'clock this morning, Rodney Harrington will be tried
          for the murder of Joe Chernak, brooding and silent in the dawn,
          different. 
   
Intro:    Clock striking.  Leslie leaves the Colonial Post Inn and walks
          past the police station up to the courthouse.  A truck drives
          up to the Clarion.
       
Scene 1:  Leslie asks Jimmy, a paper delivery boy, "May I buy a paper
          from you?"  Eli greets Ron, standing by a Clover Dairy truck. 
          Eli offers to buy Leslie a cup of coffee.  Leslie decllnes. 
          Eli suggests that Leslie go talk with his son.  They talk about
          Rodney and Elliot.  Eli regrets that he never believed his son,
          Elliot, was innocent.
       
Scene 2:  In the apartment, the alarm clock rings.  Rodney asks, What
          does it say?"  It is 6:00 o'clock.  Norman sits up.  Rodney
          tries to sleep.  Norman offers Rodney some cold pizza.  He says
          it is four days old, but that it will last two weeks.  Norman
          says it is 20 minutes to White River.  And that he'll be back
          in 20 minutes.  Norman goes down the steps barefooted.  Rodney
          throws Norman's shoes down to him saying, "Don't you know it's
          illegal to drive barefooted."  Norman picks up the Clarion
          which has the headline:
     
                          HARRINGTON TRIAL TODAY
       
Scene 3:  The white phone rings and Steven answers it.  He says to the
          man on the other end that it must be 3:00 am.  He is talking to
          a detective Lawrence in California.  Lawrence says that Stella
          has a "double A one credit rating, over 5 grand in the bank." 
          The phone rings again. This time it is Martin Peyton.  He
          orders Steven to bring Leslie over to the Peyton house.  Steven
          says that he will try.  Peyton ends the conversation by hanging
          up.  [Dr. Gleason in the Foley Medical Center in Oakland.]
     
Scene 4:  Constance wakes up and calls for Elliot.  She doesn't look too
          good of a morning before she puts her face on.  Elliot selects
          a tie and puts it on.  He does much better tying it than he did
          the day he was released from prison.  Referring back to his own
          ordeal, Elliot says, "Starting today, another twelve strangers
          will determine Rodney's future."

Scene 5:  Miss Choate goes into Rossi's office and talks with Stella
          Chernak.  Stella offers Choate some coffee.  Stella has been
          working.  Choate seems sympathetic to Stella about her losing
          her brother, Joe.  She indicates that she is also sympathetic
          to Betty Anderson.  Miss Choate tells Stella that she may be
          part of the action.  She has received a jury summons for the
          jury panel.  Stella says, "See you in court."  Choate replies,
          "See you in court."
   
Scene 6:  Allison is hysterical, she is having a nachtmare.  She screams
          at the nurse, "Don't shut the door."  The nurse tells miss
          Choate.  Choate tells the nurse to call Dr. Rossi.  Rossi
          arrives to calm Allison.
     
Scene 7:  Steven and Leslie arrive at the mansion and go in to see
          Peyton.  Martin asks Steven how he got Leslie there, by telling
          him that he was dying?  Peyton offers a truce to Leslie.  They
          talk about the proposed monument for Catherine.  Peyton is
          concerned about public opinion.  Peyton wants Leslie to stay
          away from the courtroom.  Peyton offers a bargain.  Leslie
          stays away from court and Peyton puts the monument on hold. 
          Leslie says that he came back from Europe for the trial. 
          Steven tries to arbitrate the monument question.
     
Scene 8:  Eli knocks on Rodney's door and offers Rodney a cup of coffee
          that he supposedly has made himself and put in a sack.  Eli
          says Rodney deserves the best.  Rodney says he doesn't need any
          more moral support.  He is however grateful.  Eli admits that
          he bought the coffee at the drug store.  Eli says, "The essence
          of good coffee is a good woman who will get up at the crack of
          dawn and make it for you."

          Second day of Rodney's trial.
       
Ann:      This is the continuing story of Peyton Place ...

LA:       This is Lola Albright.  I will be playing the part of Constance
          Mackenzie until the return of Dorothy Malone.

Ann:      . . . Tonight starring Lola Albright as Constance Mackenzie, Ed
          Nelson as Michael Rossi, Mia Farrow as Allison Mackenzie, Ryan
          O'Neal as Rodney Harrington, Barbara Parkins as Betty Anderson,
          Tim O'Connor as Elliot Carson, Christopher Connelly as Norman
          Harrington.
       
WA:       The difficult job of empanelling impartial, unprejudiced jurors
          for Rodney Harrington's trial continues.  The unnerving process
          has been grinding along since the court convened several hours
          ago.
   
Intro:    Car driving up in front of the courthouse.  People milling
          around in the square.  People finding seats in the courtroom.
       
Scene 1:  In the courtroom, District Attorney John Fowler questions Mr.
          Schiller who is a safety inspector for the railroad.  He has
          lived in Peyton Place almost 15 years.  He has a 21 year-old
          son.  Norman tells Leslie that he has to get some air. 
          Standing in front of Mr. Schiller, Steven Cord says, "You
          understand that an indictment is merely a piece of paper,
          constituting an accusation."  Rodney tells Steven that he knows
          Schiller's son."  Rodney indicates to Steven that he doesn't
          want him on the jury.  The defense preemptorily challenges. 
          Mr. Schiller asks if he can know why he was excused.  The judge
          says no.
     
Scene 2:  Outside in the courthouse corridor, Norman tells Rita that the
          court is a hoax.  Norman is angry.  Rita tries to calm him.  He
          says that college people don't want to be jurors for $5.00 a
          day.  Norman talks to George Washington and Ben Franklin.  He
          then rings the bell.
     
Scene 3:  The phone rings in Rossi's hospital office and Stella answers
          it.  At this time, they have two black phones, not the 15 line
          phone like Dr. Rossi and Leslie Harrington had later.  It is
          Harry Olsen, an x-ray technician.  She promises to give the
          message to Dr. Rossi.  Rossi comes in and tells Stella that her
          desk is not as neat as when she first started.  She tells Rossi
          that she expects to be fired at the behest of Martin Peyton. 
          He says he is not going to fire her.  She asks for a rain check
          on the date he once offered.  They agree to a date that night.
     
Scene 4:  In Allison's hospital room, Constance is taking dictation as
          Allison thinks about going home.  They are writing thankyou
          notes.  Eli comes in to visit.  He has a large package. 
          Constance leaves them alone to talk.  Kathy Seawall broke her
          arm riding a motor-scooter.
       
Scene 5:  As Constance goes out into the hall, Rossi comes over to talk. 
          Allison says that she wants a radio.  Allison can be heard
          laughing.  Rossi and Constance talk about Allison's condition
          and about telling her of her birth.

Scene 6:  Back in Allison's room, Allison is playing with the
          contraption, a thing-a-ma-jig, that Eli had built for her.  She
          says, "It's beautiful.  I love it."  Unfortunately she lets it
          falls to the floor.  Allison says, "I broke it."  Eli says, "I
          can put it back in an hour.  There is nothing to worry about." 
          He says that he will be back tomorrow.  She thanks him again. 
          He leaves.  Constance kisses Elliot.
     
Scene 7:  Outside, Eli tells Constance he had built a thing-a-ma-jig for
          Allison and it had gotten broken.  Eli and Constance leave.
     
Scene 8:  In the courtroom, accountant West is being questioned by John
          Fowler.  He has lived in Peyton Place 41 years, all his life. 
          After Fowler finishes, Steven Cord questions him.  He is on
          vacation.  He is married with two children.   Mr. West says
          that he has a modest business and is in excellent health. He
          appears to want to be on the jury.  He says, "I don't take
          their filthy money, like you do.  They're not going to get away
          with murder this time."  Ralph, the bailiff, is instructed to
          remove Mr. West, immediately.
           
Scene 9:  The judge entertains a motion that the jury be dismissed
          because of the regrettable outburst.  Rodney tells Steven he
          doesn't want the jury dismissed.  The jury is instructed to
          disregard what was heard.  The court is adjourned until the
          next day.
     
Scene 10: Outside, the three confer.  John greets Steven.  Rodney walks
          over and talks to Norman.  He says that Judge Irwin A. Jessup
          is probably going to the big dance at the Vagabond club
          tonight.  Norman whistled and the Peyton limousine comes over. 
          Norman is invited by Thomas, the chauffeur [James Doohan], to
          dinner that night at the Peyton house.  Norman has wheels. 
          They go up to the apartment.  [view of fire station in the
          background.]

          Rossi has a date with Stella.

WA:       Even though his fate is being weighed in a courtroom, tonight
          Rodney Harrington finds he must come to Doctors Hospital to see
          Allison Mackenzie.  On the day of his arraignment Allison has
          told Rodney she loved him.  But now she no longer seems to

          feelings for her.

Intro:    Doctors Hospital.  Rodney comes to visit Allison. 
       
Scene 1:  Rodney comes to the Information desk in the waiting room and

Scene 2:  Inside Allison's room, Rodney finds Russ Gehring singing "Down
          in the Valley."  Gehring says he missed a guitar lesson that he
          had already paid for.  And that Allison is spoiled, bored, and

          Allison.  She has forgotten a lot of the past.
       
Scene 3:  As Rodney is leaving he sees John Fowler talking with miss
          Choate.  Fowler had wanted talk to Russ Gehring but he just
          missed him.  Miss Choate asks Fowler when Marian will return,
          that they miss her.  Rodney asks Fowler if he can speak to him. 
          He asks about the investigation of the hit-and-run of Allison.
       
Scene 4:  At the Chernak house, Stella dumps some ice cubes in a bucket. 
          She writes a note, finds a pin, and attaches the note to the
          front door [like a spider spinning a web].  Stella receives a
          phone call D.A. from Fowler who instructs her not to listen to
          the news or read the newspaper.  He asks how things are going. 
          Rossi walks up and reads the note.  "If it's worth dating,
          it's worth waiting.  Enter at your own risk."  He goes on
          in and calls for Stella.  She asks if he found the note. 
          Stella comes in dressed to the IX's.  They talk.
     
Scene 5:  Steven comes to collect Betty at the Anderson house.  She shows
          Steven the subpoena she has just gotten.  She had expected to
          tesfify for the defense.

          wine and eating (refer to epi 168, 01-13-66).  [Volare
          is heard in the backbround].  The waiter brings some eel. 
          Stella tastes it before asking what it is.  They have some more
          wine.  Stella asks Rossi if he had come from a large family. 
          He said they always had a big crowd around the dinner table. 
          He says he always wanted to practice in a small town.  Stella
          asks Rossi if he likes her.  He replies that he does.
     
Scene 7:  Steven and Betty arrive at the Italian Villa Restaurante, and
          observe Dr. Rossi and Stella Chernak leaving.  Stella wheedles

          Rodney's friend.
     
Scene 8:  Rossi and Stella return to the beach house and elect to drink
          some cognac instead of coffee.  Stella observes that there
          isn't too much of him in the house.  Rossi tells her that the
          beach house was furnished when he moved in.  He helps her off
          with her coat.  Rossi lights a fire.  He says that it is the
          first one of the season.  They talk at great length.  Rossi was
          within millimeters of kissing her.  She asks why he didn't.  He
          says, another time and another place.  He says that he can't
          forget the trial and that Rodney is his friend and she is the
          chief witness against him.

          Betty testifies for the prosecution in Rodney's trial.

WA:       In the case of "The People vs Rodney Harrington," District
          Attorney John Fowler has called Betty Anderson to the stand. 
          The District Attorney knows that Betty could be a valuable
          witness for the defense.  So he has called her first, to head
          off this possibility.
   
Intro:    People going into the courthouse.  People leaving the
          courthouse.

          her mother, Julie.  Rodney calls to Betty.  He asks to talk to
          her for a few minutes.  Julie leaves them alone.  Steven opines

Scene 5:  Rita is preparing coffee behind the counter at the Pharmacy as
          Norman comes in.  He says, "Innkeeper, a bale of hay for my

          her mother has the flu or something.
   
Scene 6:  In the hospital therapy room, Allison asks therapist Russ
          Gehring for a glass of water.  Allison doesn't want to exercise
          today.  She wants to go back to her room.  Gehring tells
          Allison that she is too well mannered.  Too well scrubbed.  He
          forces her to exercise.  Allison wants his help with her hair. 
          He says help yourself.  She slaps him with her right hand. 
          Allison leaves.

Scene 7:  John Fowler comes into the therapy room and talks with Russ
          Gehring.  He asks if Allison has begun to remember about the

          acquainted with her.  Gehring goads John to hit him.  John
          leaves.

          Rita testifies for the prosecution.
             
WA:       Today, Rita Jacks takes the stand in the trial of Rodney
          Harrington on a charge of murder.  To the prosecution, Rita is

Intro:    Steven, Rodney, and Leslie talk in the corridor of the
          courthouse.
       
Scene 1:  Norman speaks to Leslie and asks Rodney if he is ready for
          round 3.  Norman talks briefly to Steven.  Steven goes to talk
          with Rita.  Ada, Elliot and Rita walk up.  Rodney identifies a
          Mr. Bishop to Leslie.  Steven talks with Rita.  She goes into
          Fowler's office.  Norman talks with Rita.  He speaks of a
          necromancer.  It has nothing to do with necks or with romance. 
          He says it is has to do with witchcraft.  He gives her a small
          box with Mexican jumping beans.  Norman says that it is
          straight from Chinatown.  He got it from an old Italian who
          told him they had the luck of the Irish.  One of the beans
          keeps jumping.  His name is Vladimir.  He has an identity
          problem.   Elliot comes out and tells Rita to go into Fowler's
          office.  He escorts her to his office.  Elliot walks past
          Norman and sits down by Ada to talk.  She says that if she had
          let Elliot call the police the other night, things would be
          different.  He talks about fussing at Joe Chernak in front of
          the Clarion office.
       
Scene 2:  Russ Gehring is pushing Allison in a wheelchair.  Dr. Hoyt is
          paged to report to surgery.  Gehring asks Allison to raise her
          hand.  She puts it on the door knob.  He puts his hand on hers
          and turns the knob.  He says progress.  He pushes her into
          Rossi's office and leaves her with Stella.  [Stella has what
          appears to your humble reviewer as an old Underwood® mechanical
          typewriter.  The typewriter on Leslie Harrington's secretary's
          desk appears to be an IBM® Selectric®.]  Stella caustically
          asks Allison what she can do to amuse her.  Allison opines that
          Rossi is a nice man.  She asks how Stella came to work for Dr. Rossi. 
          Allison then asks about Joey and Stella suggests that they change
          the subject.  Allison goes over and watches a mouse running in a
          squirrel cage [cage d'un écureuil]. Stella says that the cage was
          delivered there by mistake.  Allison thinks she's missing something. 

          Rossi comes into the office and Stella leaves them alone.
       
Scene 3:  Rossi goes into the corridor and calls to Stella.  He fusses at
          her for talking to Allison.  Stella says, "Who am I, the dragon
          lady?"  Stella tells Rossi that he was right to worry, she was
          tempted to say to Allison, "Your boyfriend is on trial for
          murdering my brother."  Mr. Gehring is paged to report
          to physical therapy.  [This confirms that Russ Gehring is
          not a doctor].  In a previous episode, Fowler called him a
          physiotherapist.
   
Scene 4:  Rossi goes back in his office and talks to Allison.  He tells
          Allison why she is there in the hospital.  He tells her he
          thinks that her emotions are part of the problem.  Allison
          assures Rossi that she is comfortable.  Allison agrees that she
          is looking forward to going home.
         
Scene 5:  In the courtroom, District Attorney John Fowler examines Rita
          Charmaine Jacks about her relationship with Joe Chernak.  Rita
          glances down at the box of Mexican jumping beans that Norman
          gave her and that she is still holding.  [Leslie Harrington was
          out of the country at the point in time when Joe Chernak was
          killed.  He returned after Rodney was arrested and charged.]

          talk about the trial and their love for each other.  Leslie
          Harrington had gotten Rodney out on bail.  This is a return

          Gus expires in the Peyton house.

WA:       A desperate emergency call brings Dr. Michael Rossi and Stella
          Chernak to the Peyton house.  For one of the men inside the
          Peyton house, every second, every breath, could bring death.
       
Intro:    Rossi and Stella drive up to the Peyton house.
     
Scene 1:  The police are there.  Stella pounds impatiently on the door
          and they are let in.  Hanna is explaining to the police that
          Gus forced his way in at the french doors at the back of the
          house.  Hanna wants Dr. Rossi to do something for Peyton as his
          pulse is much too high.  Gus is still alive and he speaks to
          Stella.  He said he only wanted his job back.  The ambulance is
          heard arriving.  Stella tells Gus she loves him.  Gus tells
          Stella to make Rodney pay for killing Joe.  Stella says, "Don't
          go to sleep, papa."  Two paramedics come in and prepare to give
          oxygen to Gus.  Gus expires.  Stella insists on more oxygen. 
          Rossi nods, even though he knows Gus has expired.  Gus is
          uselessly given oxygen by the paramedics.  Stella is
          distressed.  The paramedics withdraw.
       
Scene 2:  Gus is carted out the front door on a stretcher.  Dr. Rossi
          asks Martin how he feels.  Peyton had not met Sgt. Edward
          Goddard before.  With Rossi's permission, Martin gives his
          story to Sgt. Goddard.  Peyton opines that it is a pity that
          Chernak was so self destructive.  Peyton asks Hannah for a
          glass of water.  Peyton quotes an old Latin phrase, "Speak
          only good of the dead."  Goddard wants Peyton to tell him
          the truth.  Peyton relates what happened.  Stella says,
          "Liar, Liar."  She imposes her side of the story.  Peyton
          begins to unload on Stella.  Peyton tells Hannan to "get rid
          of these people."
       
Scene 3:  Stella and Rossi go outside.  The attendant has Rossi sign
          on a clipboard, then Rossi and Stella get in the back of
          the ambulance, leaving Rossi's car at the Peyton house. 
          Even though Gus has been pronounced dead, the ambulance
          drives off with its siren blaring.

Scene 4:  In their apartment, Norman and Rita hear the ambulance.  Rita
          poses the possibility that it is a lady going to the hospital
          to have a baby.  Norman suggests twins.  Rita says, "No,
          quadruplets."  Norman and Rita rush down the steps and, even
          though it is still nighttime, have a brief snowball fight.  Rita
          runs into the Clarion office followed by Norman, who slips and
          falls before he makes it through the door.  Eli offers the
          playful newlyweds some hot coffee.  He offers to help them
          whenever they need him.  They hear the ambulance again. 
       
Scene 5:  Rossi and Stella are riding in the ambulance.  Rossi is quite
          annoyed with Stella.  Rossi tells Stella that her mother will
          really need her now.  Rossi explains the implications of a
          death certificate.  And he asks Stella what her father's dying
          words were.  Stella says that dying words are private.   Rossi
          asks if Rodney really threatened Joe or if Stella had lied. 
          He asks what she is going to say on the stand Monday.
       
Scene 6:  Steven Cord is talking with Leslie Harrington in room 8 at the
          Inn.  They discuss the implications of the passing of Gus Chernak. 
          Leslie places a telephone call to Rodney's room.  Steven asks the
          desk to see whether Rodney's car is in the lot.  He is told that
          the car is not there.  They wonder out loud where Rodney could be
          and whether he could have jumped bail.
