i welcome any corrections/additions.  as i don't have a vcr, my
notes were taken real time with no slow motion replays.
i missed the first few minutes of the show, because i was reading
r.a.t.s.  the whole show revolved around the budapest/kidnapping/grave
robbing storyline.

hayley, charlie and helga:
-------------------------
  re: hugo the zombie 
  hayley goes to take pictures of the masoleum
  chompers to helga -->  this isn't a direct quote, but it was kind of a
  silly question...
  "when was the last time anyone knew that the casket was there?"

  [do any of you check on whether a casket is still where it was placed?
  a casket placed there many years ago?  i dunno, but when we buried our
  dead pets in the backyard (as a child), we didn't have a regular
  schedule of opening the ground to see if the boxes were still there. 
  most people don't expect caskets to go wandering off.]

  helga tries to convince charlie that demetri had removed the body.
  "only demetri could have removed it."
  she says that she heard part of a phone conversation the night before
  the body was discovered missing.  he had reason, etc.
  "that demetri is responsible for this whole gastly mess."
  helga leaves, and hayley returns.  says lucy (the maid) knows what 
  night the body disappeared.

  lucy remembered hearing a big truck about a month ago.  this does not
  match helga's story about demetri...

jack, brooke, and angelique:
---------------------------
  brooke had told the others she is going to budapest.
  "i have to go there, so that he doesn't do something stupid."

  a lawyer from budapest calls and they find out a phone has been 
  installed at the castle this morning.  they call...

demetri, edmund and erica:
-------------------------
  we see edmund taking an unconscious erica out of a van.  carrying her
  over the shoulder, he pauses in a doorway (silouette) turns and looks,
  and continues on inside.
  
  flash to demetri who is looking around for erica who is late for their
  meeting.

demetri and the phone:
  call # 1:
    demetri calls elana.  to find out if erica is still there.  no, she
    had signed the papers and rushed out an hour ago.  demetri has had
    a phone installed at the castle and gives her the number.
  call # 2:
    the hotel erica and demetri had stayed in...  no messages for either.
  call # 3:
    the merrick castle to find out if erica had called.  maid says no.

  edmund has indeed kinapped erica who regains consciousness.  they are
in a wine cellar.  erica is...  well, erica.  "you drugged me?" then "you
tied me up.  you tied me up like an animal!  let me go!"
she's indignant, she yells. "let me go!"

[ edmund's acting seemed rather lame at this point.  not like craze gaze
helga. ]

switch to a boy handing demetri a note from edmund:
summarized contents:
  don't be stupid.
  no police.
  i have something precious of yours
  will kill her
  etc.
  signed "your (loving) brother, edmund"

  [ now, when i first wrote this down, i didn't have "loving" in there
after a commercial, demetri says "your loving brother, edmund"  was
there a boo boo here?  or is my hearing going?  something similar
happens later... ]

demetri crumples the note. "damn!"

at this point, demetri teleports back to the castle and hovers near the
phone.  

jack, brooke, and angelique:
---------------------------
jack has gotten the new number and calls to warn about edmund's presence
in budapest.  "your warning's too damn late!  he's kidnapped erica!"

angelique and brooke in unison:
"what did edmund do?"
jack:
"he's kidnapped erica."

angelique gets on the phone and tells demetri about the missing body.
demetri immediately concludes that edmund did it.

at this point, angelique gets a craving for airline food and the feeling
of hurdling through the sky.  she decided to go to budapest.  
"i really want to make that flight out of jfk tonight."  jack says he's
going too.  angelique leaves.

brooke informs jack she's not going (he offered to pick her up on the way).
 [ i was waiting for her to say this...  yawn! ]  
"i was going to spend my life with that man, and now he's a kidnapper."  
brooke and jack discuss the tortured child with nightmares vs. the
kind gentle man edmund can be.  there two edmunds at war with each other.

she can't stay to talk to jack, 'cause she wants to get home and wipe the
answering machine that has lovey dovey talk to edmund on it.

back to the brothers, and friend:
--------------------------------
after jacks call, more phone hovering by demetri.  this is used as an
excuse to flashback to ring/dancing/kissing/bed/talking/kissing scenes.
"if you hurt her, i swear i'll kill you."

edmund is blaming demetri and tells erica the casket is missing.

he calls brooke and hears the loving message.  erica has a constant
string of babble running.  edmund:
"shut up! will you just shut (the hell) up!"

misc:
----
 [ this is the second place the script bliped.  edmund doesn't say "the
hell", but when brooke plays the machine, it is on there. ]

brooke returning home, hears erica then edmund.  (not really cliffhanger)

angelique and helga:  helga is happy edmund kidnapped erica, but not
pleased of angelique's travel plans.  "angelique, that woman ruined your
marriage and you're going to help her?"  helga wants to go along.
angelique tells her to stay out of it, and stay here (home).

charlie, lucy and hayley: helga is missing. (not really cliffhanger)

angelique and jack in first class: discussing how glad they are helga
stayed home.  scan of coach...  helga with a *window* seat in an ugly
wig with a bun looking out window.  (cliffhanger)

erica: "what time is it?"   edmund: "phase 3 time."
edmund calls demetri.
demetri answers the phone "edmund?"
conditions:
  1/2 of everything.  legal document, signed and notorized.
argue about casket.  blame each other.
edmund hangs up.
to erica: "you'd better hope  ...  or it's going to be a long hungarian
winter."  (cliffhanger)
