WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.000 And now for the next 30 minutes, as the world turns. 00:07.000 --> 00:13.000 Brought to you today by Best Foods, makers of delicious new Misoba Margarine. 00:13.000 --> 00:25.000 This is the family I love and care for. 00:25.000 --> 00:30.000 And when I learned of the desirability of replacing foods high in saturated fat, 00:30.000 --> 00:34.000 Misola liquid corn oil became part of our everyday meals. 00:34.000 --> 00:37.000 Now I buy new Misola margarine too. 00:37.000 --> 00:41.000 Because of all leading brands, it's best to replace breads high in saturated fat. 00:41.000 --> 00:43.000 Let me tell you why. 00:43.000 --> 00:48.000 I used to buy a corn oil margarine which I thought gave me the same benefits of Misola. 00:48.000 --> 00:54.000 But at a recent food demonstration, I learned that the ordinary corn oil margarine I had put such faith in is hydrogenated. 00:54.000 --> 00:57.000 So most of its natural liquid corn oil nutrition is lost. 00:57.000 --> 01:01.000 But the corn oil in Misola margarine is never hydrogenated. 01:01.000 --> 01:04.000 So you get the full nutritional benefit of Misola's liquid corn oil. 01:04.000 --> 01:13.000 Of all leading brands, new Misola margarine, rich in polyunsaturated, is best to replace breads high in saturated fat. 01:13.000 --> 01:21.000 For the family you love, serve delicious new Misola margarine and love its light, delicate flavor every day. 01:21.000 --> 01:40.000 How could this happen? How? 01:40.000 --> 01:42.000 The point is it did happen. 01:42.000 --> 01:47.000 We're faced with something and we've got to handle it the best way we can. 01:47.000 --> 01:49.000 She says she has proof. 01:49.000 --> 01:52.000 In Ellen's mind, she's convinced that Danny is her son. 01:52.000 --> 01:55.000 I just can't believe it. I can't. 01:55.000 --> 01:57.000 I just can't. 01:57.000 --> 02:03.000 It's just some crazy coincidence. That's all. Danny is our son. 02:03.000 --> 02:08.000 Honey, we're alone now. We have to be realistic. 02:08.000 --> 02:10.000 We did adopt Danny. 02:10.000 --> 02:12.000 David, don't use that word. Don't ever use that word again. 02:12.000 --> 02:15.000 We're never going to admit that we adopted Danny. Never. 02:15.000 --> 02:20.000 Whether we admit it or not, Ellen took Danny's footprint. She compared it with the footprint of her son. 02:20.000 --> 02:23.000 I'm not sure, but I think that's considered positive identification. 02:23.000 --> 02:31.000 He's our son. We've raised him since he was an infant. 02:31.000 --> 02:35.000 I'm the only mother he knows, David. I'm the only mother he has. 02:35.000 --> 02:39.000 I don't care what Ellen says, what claims she thinks she has on him. 02:39.000 --> 02:42.000 He is our son, David. He's our baby. He's ours. 02:42.000 --> 02:46.000 Of course he is, but you heard Ellen. Ellen is a very determined young woman. 02:46.000 --> 02:49.000 I think we have to consider what she could do, what she's apt to do. 02:49.000 --> 02:51.000 I don't care what she does, David. I don't care. 02:51.000 --> 02:56.000 We have to do this. We have to try to anticipate what Ellen's next move will be. 02:56.000 --> 03:01.000 She said she was going to come back after we'd had a chance to think about it. 03:01.000 --> 03:03.000 She was sure we'd understand. 03:03.000 --> 03:04.000 I know. I know. 03:04.000 --> 03:09.000 David, I don't ever want to see her again. I don't ever want to set foot in this apartment again. Never. 03:09.000 --> 03:13.000 We have to recognize that Ellen was in a highly emotional state tonight. 03:13.000 --> 03:18.000 A few hours before she came here, she proved to herself that she'd found her son. 03:18.000 --> 03:20.000 We have to recognize that. 03:20.000 --> 03:23.000 We don't know he's her son just because she says so. 03:23.000 --> 03:25.000 Letting face facts. 03:25.000 --> 03:32.000 She told us that she placed her baby with the Children's Aid in Columbus. 03:32.000 --> 03:36.000 She told us when. A few weeks after that, we got Danny. 03:36.000 --> 03:37.000 We have a birth certificate. 03:37.000 --> 03:40.000 A birth certificate that's given to every adoptive parent. 03:40.000 --> 03:44.000 It indicates that you're his mother and that I'm Danny's father. 03:44.000 --> 03:49.000 But according to Ellen tonight, she says that she can positively prove that she gave birth to Danny. 03:49.000 --> 03:50.000 No, she didn't. 03:50.000 --> 03:53.000 Honey, it's something that I think we have to accept. 03:53.000 --> 03:59.000 We can't just say, at least to ourselves, we can't just say, no, no, it's impossible when we know it's true. 03:59.000 --> 04:03.000 David, you know she's going to come back here and she's going to want Danny. 04:03.000 --> 04:09.000 Honey, there's always the possibility that in a few days, Ellen might come to her senses, be less emotional, 04:09.000 --> 04:11.000 think less of herself and more of her own son. 04:11.000 --> 04:13.000 No, you don't believe that any more than I do. 04:13.000 --> 04:15.000 She wants him and she's going to come and get him. 04:15.000 --> 04:18.000 I'm not going to let her have him, David. I'm not. She can't get him. 04:18.000 --> 04:20.000 No, of course she can. Of course not. 04:29.000 --> 04:31.000 It's ironic, isn't it? 04:31.000 --> 04:36.000 The whole reason that we made the move from New York, the whole reason that I gave up my practice, 04:36.000 --> 04:42.000 everything I had so that no one would find out that Danny was adopted, 04:42.000 --> 04:44.000 it was almost an obsession with you. 04:44.000 --> 04:49.000 I wanted so much for Danny or anyone else not to find out that he was adopted, 04:49.000 --> 04:51.000 everyone to believe that he was our son. 04:51.000 --> 04:54.000 It's the whole reason that I accepted the memorial offer. 04:54.000 --> 04:56.000 David, what are we going to do? 04:56.000 --> 04:59.000 What can happen? What can she do? 04:59.000 --> 05:02.000 I don't know, but there's one thing that we must not lose sight of. 05:02.000 --> 05:05.000 Danny is adopted by us legally. 05:05.000 --> 05:08.000 Ellen surrendered him four and a half years ago. 05:08.000 --> 05:10.000 He's ours now and no one can take him away from us. 05:10.000 --> 05:13.000 But she as much as said she can, David. She wants him. 05:13.000 --> 05:14.000 No, she's not going to get him. 05:14.000 --> 05:17.000 How can you be so sure? We were sure before, you know. 05:17.000 --> 05:18.000 We were sure that by moving here, everything... 05:18.000 --> 05:20.000 You've got to get a hold of yourself. 05:20.000 --> 05:23.000 Let me give you a sedative. There's something to help you sleep. 05:23.000 --> 05:25.000 Sleep? 05:25.000 --> 05:31.000 You expect me to sleep when I know that that girl is trying to take my boy away from me? 05:31.000 --> 05:34.000 She's not going to take him, David. 05:34.000 --> 05:36.000 I'm going to get him. 05:36.000 --> 05:38.000 I'm going to get the boys up and I'm going to take them away. 05:38.000 --> 05:39.000 Betty! 05:39.000 --> 05:40.000 I don't know where I'll go, but I... 05:40.000 --> 05:42.000 Betty, no, you can't do that. 05:42.000 --> 05:44.000 No, I'm going to take Danny as far away as I can. 05:44.000 --> 05:46.000 I'll tell you where I am and then you can join us later, David. 05:46.000 --> 05:48.000 That is not the answer. Believe me. 05:48.000 --> 05:49.000 David, please, I've got to leave. 05:49.000 --> 05:51.000 Stop and think a minute. 05:51.000 --> 05:53.000 No, David, we can't just stay until Ellen goes. 05:53.000 --> 05:57.000 Don't you realize that Ellen will go on and on trying to find you? 05:57.000 --> 05:59.000 We've got to stay and face this thing. 05:59.000 --> 06:01.000 David, no, I've got to leave. Please. 06:01.000 --> 06:03.000 Listen to me. 06:03.000 --> 06:05.000 Please, listen to me. 06:05.000 --> 06:07.000 We can't leave. You can't do that. 06:07.000 --> 06:09.000 That is not the answer. 06:09.000 --> 06:14.000 We may be facing something that will be very difficult, but we cannot run away. 06:14.000 --> 06:15.000 That's not the answer. 06:15.000 --> 06:16.000 But, Ellen... 06:16.000 --> 06:18.000 Listen to me. Listen to me. 06:18.000 --> 06:20.000 We have to stay here. 06:20.000 --> 06:23.000 We've got to make Ellen understand. 06:23.000 --> 06:25.000 If we can't, someone else has to. 06:25.000 --> 06:27.000 She has no claim on her child, none. 06:27.000 --> 06:29.000 There's nothing to worry about as far as that's concerned. 06:29.000 --> 06:33.000 Danny is ours. He is ours and nobody can take him away from us. 06:38.000 --> 06:40.000 Oh, David. 06:42.000 --> 06:45.000 Oh, what's going to happen, David? 06:45.000 --> 06:48.000 What's she going to do? 06:48.000 --> 06:50.000 What's going to happen? 07:02.000 --> 07:04.000 Yes, my children are growing. 07:04.000 --> 07:07.000 That's why our family margarine is Nuco, 07:07.000 --> 07:10.000 with more than twice the vitamin A of many leading margarines. 07:10.000 --> 07:13.000 Nuco, Nuco, Nuco, 07:13.000 --> 07:16.000 the margarine larger in vitamin A. 07:16.000 --> 07:19.000 Nuco, Nuco, Nuco, 07:19.000 --> 07:22.000 gives you all your vitamin A 07:22.000 --> 07:25.000 in one, two, three times a day. 07:25.000 --> 07:29.000 All your minimum daily requirements of vitamin A in 1.8 hours. 07:29.000 --> 07:31.000 Essential for healthy growth. 07:31.000 --> 07:33.000 Essential for sound teeth. 07:33.000 --> 07:37.000 And just wait until your family tastes Nuco's new flavor secret. 07:37.000 --> 07:41.000 The marvelous way Nuco melts for fresh, delicate flavor. 07:41.000 --> 07:43.000 Delicious aroma. 07:43.000 --> 07:46.000 Nuco, Nuco, Nuco, 07:46.000 --> 07:49.000 gives you all your vitamin A 07:49.000 --> 07:53.000 in one, two, three times a day. 07:53.000 --> 07:55.000 Nuco. 08:03.000 --> 08:06.000 Doug, what is Ellen thinking? 08:06.000 --> 08:09.000 Well, you heard what Joe Meadows said, dear. 08:09.000 --> 08:13.000 And you've lived with Ellen ever since she gave her baby out for adoption. 08:13.000 --> 08:16.000 Although there were times when we thought she was coming out of this, 08:16.000 --> 08:19.000 it's obvious now that a day didn't go by 08:19.000 --> 08:21.000 when she wasn't thinking of her son, 08:21.000 --> 08:24.000 when she wasn't planning the day she'd find him. 08:25.000 --> 08:28.000 I can't believe she's found him. 08:28.000 --> 08:31.000 It's a fantastic coincidence. 08:31.000 --> 08:33.000 No, I'm afraid not, dear. 08:33.000 --> 08:37.000 According to Joe Meadows, Danny Stewart is Ellen's son. 08:37.000 --> 08:39.000 Footprint. 08:39.000 --> 08:42.000 Well, I'd have to have more than Ellen looking at a footprint, 08:42.000 --> 08:45.000 Joe Meadows looking at a footprint, comparing them one to the other. 08:45.000 --> 08:47.000 Darling, there was no doubt in Joe's mind. 08:47.000 --> 08:49.000 But aren't you forgetting one thing, Doug? 08:49.000 --> 08:52.000 As far as we know, Betty Stewart gave birth to David. 08:52.000 --> 08:55.000 They've never once mentioned anything about his having been adopted. 08:55.000 --> 08:57.000 Yes, yes, I know that. 08:57.000 --> 09:00.000 I'm sorry, Doug, but I don't believe it. I can't. 09:00.000 --> 09:02.000 Where is she? 09:02.000 --> 09:04.000 Joe said she caught an early flight back here. 09:04.000 --> 09:06.000 Now, where could she have gone? Why isn't she at home? 09:06.000 --> 09:11.000 I think she's with Penny. That's the only answer to it, Doug. 09:11.000 --> 09:13.000 I wonder if I should call the Hughes again. 09:13.000 --> 09:17.000 You've called them twice. The last time not more than 15 minutes ago. 09:17.000 --> 09:20.000 Now, Chris told you, didn't he, that he would have Penny call the moment she came in, 09:20.000 --> 09:21.000 no matter how late it was? 09:21.000 --> 09:22.000 Well, yes, but... 09:22.000 --> 09:25.000 Then there's no point in your calling them again. 09:26.000 --> 09:28.000 I suppose you're right. 09:28.000 --> 09:31.000 Midnight. 09:32.000 --> 09:37.000 It's just possible, you know, that she's waiting until she can be sure we're both in bed, 09:37.000 --> 09:40.000 so that she won't have to explain tonight. 09:41.000 --> 09:44.000 You think she knows that Joe Meadows would have been in touch with us? 09:44.000 --> 09:47.000 Of course she does, dear. 09:50.000 --> 09:53.000 Oh, where will they sleep, Doug? 09:53.000 --> 09:55.000 I don't know. 09:55.000 --> 09:58.000 Where will this lead, Doug? 09:58.000 --> 10:03.000 I mean, if Danny Stewart is Ellen's boy. 10:04.000 --> 10:06.000 Yes, I've wondered that too. 10:07.000 --> 10:11.000 But the answer, I suppose, is pretty much in Ellen's hands. 10:11.000 --> 10:12.000 What do you mean? 10:12.000 --> 10:16.000 Surely she can't have any real hope of getting her son back. 10:16.000 --> 10:18.000 Oh, you heard what Joe said. 10:18.000 --> 10:22.000 Yes, I know. He said that she intended to get him back, but how can she, dear? 10:22.000 --> 10:26.000 If the Stewarts have her son, they've adopted him. It's a perfectly legal adoption. 10:26.000 --> 10:28.000 Ellen signed surrender papers. 10:28.000 --> 10:31.000 But will Ellen stop there? 10:31.000 --> 10:34.000 What else can she do, dear? 10:35.000 --> 10:38.000 Oh, she could go to see the Stewarts, I suppose. 10:38.000 --> 10:45.000 But what good would it do her? The Stewarts won't give up a son they love, a son they've raised for five years. 10:46.000 --> 10:48.000 Oh, Doug. 10:48.000 --> 10:53.000 Do you realize the problems this can present? 10:53.000 --> 10:56.000 I mean, where Ellen's concerned. 10:56.000 --> 10:58.000 Knowing where her son is. 10:58.000 --> 11:01.000 Yes, yes, of course I do. 11:02.000 --> 11:05.000 Why did she lie to us? 11:05.000 --> 11:09.000 Why did she tell us she was going to see the Coles when she knew she was going to Columbus? 11:09.000 --> 11:11.000 Dear, that should be obvious. 11:11.000 --> 11:16.000 If she had said where she was going, we would have done everything in our power to try to stop her. 11:16.000 --> 11:21.000 But there would have been no stopping her, Claire. 11:23.000 --> 11:28.000 If Danny is Ellen's son, I'm very sorry for her. 11:28.000 --> 11:33.000 What she's been through in the past will be nothing compared to what she's going to have to go through. 11:33.000 --> 11:35.000 Oh, Doug, we're going to have to do something. 11:35.000 --> 11:37.000 We're going to have to talk with her, of course, dear. 11:37.000 --> 11:39.000 We've got to try to make her understand. 11:39.000 --> 11:43.000 She's got to be made to realize that to all intents and purposes, she has no son. 11:43.000 --> 11:45.000 Oh, Doug, be realistic. 11:45.000 --> 11:48.000 Claire, she gave her son away. 11:48.000 --> 11:49.000 Now, that's final, dear. 11:49.000 --> 11:51.000 Yes, but she's still the boy's mother. 11:51.000 --> 11:53.000 No, my dear, she isn't. 11:53.000 --> 11:56.000 Whoever adopted the child, they're his parents. 11:56.000 --> 11:57.000 They're his legal parents. 11:57.000 --> 12:00.000 Oh, yes, I know that. 12:00.000 --> 12:05.000 But if what we heard tonight is true, 12:05.000 --> 12:07.000 I can understand Ellen's feelings. 12:07.000 --> 12:09.000 I think any woman could. 12:09.000 --> 12:12.000 You tell her that, Claire, and you're making a mistake. 12:12.000 --> 12:16.000 A serious mistake. 12:16.000 --> 12:21.000 Yes, I know. 12:21.000 --> 12:24.000 Do you suppose she won't come home tonight? 12:24.000 --> 12:25.000 Where would she stay? 12:25.000 --> 12:30.000 I doubt that very much, dear. 12:30.000 --> 12:34.000 It's impossible. 12:34.000 --> 12:36.000 She's already seen the Stewarts? 12:36.000 --> 12:38.000 That she got back and went directly to their place to tell them? 12:38.000 --> 12:40.000 No, I don't think so, dear. 12:40.000 --> 12:43.000 Don't you think we'd have heard something by now if she had? 12:43.000 --> 12:45.000 Don't you think we'd have heard from David? 12:45.000 --> 12:49.000 Yes, I suppose you're right. 12:49.000 --> 12:54.000 Oh, Doug, I feel so terribly sorry for them. 12:54.000 --> 12:56.000 Maybe after we've talked to Ellen. 12:56.000 --> 12:59.000 Make up your mind to one thing. 12:59.000 --> 13:02.000 You're never going to stop her from talking to them, 13:02.000 --> 13:07.000 telling them what she knows. 13:07.000 --> 13:10.000 Doug, maybe the thing to do is to call David. 13:10.000 --> 13:11.000 At this hour, dear? 13:11.000 --> 13:13.000 Yes, at this hour. Make arrangements to see him first thing in the morning. 13:13.000 --> 13:17.000 I think you should talk to him before Ellen does. 13:17.000 --> 13:28.000 Yes, all right. Maybe you're right. 13:28.000 --> 13:30.000 This one looks better to you. 13:30.000 --> 13:35.000 Does that mean that you prefer this kind of whiteness? 13:35.000 --> 13:36.000 Yes. 13:36.000 --> 13:38.000 Would you like to know what was used to wash it? 13:38.000 --> 13:40.000 I'd love to know. 13:40.000 --> 13:41.000 The cheer. 13:41.000 --> 13:43.000 Here at the Danbury, Connecticut, Fair, 13:43.000 --> 13:49.000 Mrs. Lottie Brady just compared new laundry used and washed for the cheer test. 13:49.000 --> 13:50.000 Now watch. 13:50.000 --> 13:52.000 Here comes Ann Sheldon. 13:52.000 --> 14:07.000 Posing as a bystander. 14:07.000 --> 14:10.000 Asked Mrs. Brady her reaction to the test. 14:10.000 --> 14:13.000 I've seen it on television, but I never thought I'd be able to. 14:13.000 --> 14:15.000 And you really can tell the difference. 14:15.000 --> 14:17.000 By golly, it really works, doesn't it? 14:17.000 --> 14:18.000 It's a handsome bottle, isn't it? 14:18.000 --> 14:19.000 It is very. 14:19.000 --> 14:20.000 Tell me, have you ever used cheer? 14:20.000 --> 14:22.000 No, I haven't. 14:22.000 --> 14:23.000 You haven't switched it? 14:23.000 --> 14:25.000 Well, definitely now. 14:25.000 --> 14:30.000 I mean, my clothes are icky, you know, and this is nice and clean. 14:30.000 --> 14:32.000 Ladies, most women, like Mrs. Brady, 14:32.000 --> 14:36.000 see that cheer with its blue magic whitener gives you a deeper kind of white. 14:36.000 --> 14:44.000 Try cheer and see the difference. 14:44.000 --> 14:49.000 The first portion of this program has been brought to you today by Best Foods, 14:49.000 --> 14:54.000 makers of new Nuko with all your vitamin A in three packs a day. 14:54.000 --> 15:08.000 We'll continue with As the World Turns following station identification. 15:08.000 --> 15:10.000 And now the second portion of As the World Turns, 15:10.000 --> 15:24.000 brought to you today by Carnation Instant Nonfat Dry Milk and Carnation Instant Chocolate Drink. 15:24.000 --> 15:26.000 We can't just sit here and wait. 15:26.000 --> 15:29.000 What are we going to do? 15:29.000 --> 15:32.000 At this point, I think it's a matter of what Ellen does. 15:32.000 --> 15:38.000 I just don't see where we can do anything, assuming that Ellen is Danny's mother. 15:38.000 --> 15:39.000 I can't assume that, David. 15:39.000 --> 15:40.000 I won't. 15:40.000 --> 15:41.000 I think we have to. 15:41.000 --> 15:42.000 Too many things add up. 15:42.000 --> 15:43.000 Then you're convinced. 15:43.000 --> 15:45.000 I think we have to accept that as a fact. 15:45.000 --> 15:49.000 Ellen knows all there is to know, where we got him, when we got him, 15:49.000 --> 15:52.000 and is this a matter of the footprints? 15:52.000 --> 15:53.000 Again. 15:53.000 --> 15:56.000 That's what she said she was playing with him when he was in the hospital. 15:56.000 --> 15:59.000 And then she took his fingerprints, his footprints. 15:59.000 --> 16:00.000 I know. 16:00.000 --> 16:02.000 David, do you know what she wants? 16:02.000 --> 16:03.000 She wants our boy. 16:03.000 --> 16:08.000 Honey, we've just got to remember that Danny is legally adopted. 16:08.000 --> 16:10.000 Ellen gave up all rights to him. 16:10.000 --> 16:11.000 I know, but do you know what this means? 16:11.000 --> 16:13.000 Danny is going to find out he's adopted. 16:13.000 --> 16:14.000 So he finds out. 16:14.000 --> 16:15.000 There's nothing wrong with that. 16:15.000 --> 16:17.000 Most adoptive parents tell their children. 16:17.000 --> 16:20.000 But I don't want him to find out he has another mother. 16:20.000 --> 16:21.000 I'm his mother, David. 16:21.000 --> 16:22.000 That's right. 16:22.000 --> 16:23.000 That's right. 16:23.000 --> 16:24.000 You are his mother. 16:24.000 --> 16:28.000 When Ellen gave up her child, she gave up all legal rights to be his mother. 16:28.000 --> 16:29.000 What do you mean legal? 16:29.000 --> 16:33.000 Honey, I have to put it that way, if I'm to be honest. 16:33.000 --> 16:35.000 But, David, I'm the only mother he knows. 16:35.000 --> 16:36.000 Doesn't she know that? 16:36.000 --> 16:38.000 Isn't she even thinking of Danny? 16:38.000 --> 16:40.000 She's just thinking of herself. 16:40.000 --> 16:42.000 Oh, David, please, let me get the boys and go away. 16:42.000 --> 16:43.000 Please. 16:43.000 --> 16:46.000 Honey, would you really want to go away from here with this thing unsettled? 16:46.000 --> 16:50.000 Would you want to go off somewhere knowing that you're going to live in constant fear 16:50.000 --> 16:54.000 that every time you're going to open the door it might be Ellen there? 16:54.000 --> 16:58.000 When you go to the store, Ellen might be there looking for you? 16:58.000 --> 17:01.000 And that's going to happen, you know, no matter where we've moved 17:01.000 --> 17:03.000 and no matter how much we try to keep the move a secret. 17:03.000 --> 17:05.000 You'd live in constant fear. 17:05.000 --> 17:08.000 But, David, somebody's got to stop her. 17:08.000 --> 17:10.000 We've got to stop her. 17:10.000 --> 17:13.000 If she's going to cause trouble for my boys, she's got to be stopped. 17:13.000 --> 17:23.000 David, it's after Ellen. Don't talk to her. Don't say a word to her. 17:23.000 --> 17:25.000 Hello? 17:25.000 --> 17:28.000 David, I'm sorry to have to disturb you at this hour. 17:28.000 --> 17:30.000 I hope I didn't get you out of bed. 17:30.000 --> 17:32.000 No, you didn't, darling. 17:32.000 --> 17:36.000 Well, David, something's come up. 17:36.000 --> 17:40.000 I'd like to see you first thing in the morning before you go to the hospital. 17:40.000 --> 17:44.000 Doug, if it's about Ellen, she was here tonight. 17:44.000 --> 17:48.000 Oh, I see. I'm sorry. 17:48.000 --> 17:50.000 Thanks, Doug. 17:50.000 --> 17:54.000 Well, in view of that, I don't think we should wait until morning. 17:54.000 --> 18:01.000 If it's all right with you and Betty, I'd like to come over right away. 18:01.000 --> 18:03.000 All right, Doug, I think you're right. 18:03.000 --> 18:06.000 I think we've got a great deal to talk over. 18:06.000 --> 18:11.000 David? 18:11.000 --> 18:16.000 We'll return to As the World Turns in just a moment. 18:16.000 --> 18:20.000 The best way to judge the flavor of nonfat milk is to drink it. 18:20.000 --> 18:27.000 And one taste tells you that Carnation Instant Nonfat Dry Milk is the one that's delicious for drinking. 18:27.000 --> 18:30.000 Now, here's the secret of this delicious fresh flavor. 18:30.000 --> 18:34.000 It's Carnation's amazing magic crystals. 18:34.000 --> 18:38.000 See for yourself that Carnation is truly instant mixing. 18:38.000 --> 18:42.000 Take a glass of water, pour in Carnation's magic crystals. 18:42.000 --> 18:44.000 Now, watch what actually happens. 18:44.000 --> 18:52.000 The instant they touch water, Carnation's magic crystals start to dissolve into fresh-flavored nonfat milk. 18:52.000 --> 18:57.000 And here's proof that Carnation's magic crystals dissolve completely. 18:57.000 --> 19:05.000 The whole family will enjoy Carnation Instant Nonfat Milk, the magic crystals instant that's delicious for drinking. 19:05.000 --> 19:08.000 And you'll also like Carnation Instant Chocolate Drink. 19:08.000 --> 19:19.000 It's the same magic crystals of nonfat milk with rich chocolate flavor. 19:19.000 --> 19:20.000 Come in, Doug. 19:20.000 --> 19:25.000 Come here. 19:25.000 --> 19:27.000 Betty? 19:27.000 --> 19:28.000 May I have your coat, Doug? 19:28.000 --> 19:34.000 Yes, yes, thank you. 19:34.000 --> 19:39.000 David, what can I say? 19:39.000 --> 19:40.000 Sit down, Doug. 19:40.000 --> 19:41.000 Thank you. 19:41.000 --> 19:47.000 Doug, naturally, Betty and I are rather curious as to what Ellen said to you tonight. 19:47.000 --> 19:50.000 I haven't seen her, David. She hasn't been home. 19:50.000 --> 19:52.000 Then how did you know? 19:52.000 --> 19:56.000 Dr. Meadows flew in from Columbus. He told us what had happened. 19:56.000 --> 19:57.000 I don't know whether you know him or not. 19:57.000 --> 19:58.000 Ellen told us about it. 19:58.000 --> 20:00.000 Doug, what kind of doctor is he? 20:00.000 --> 20:02.000 What kind of person would do what he did? 20:02.000 --> 20:05.000 Help Ellen. Just find out. 20:05.000 --> 20:07.000 Please, try to understand. 20:07.000 --> 20:09.000 Try to understand what? 20:09.000 --> 20:12.000 If it hadn't been for that doctor, Ellen wouldn't have gotten any hospital records. 20:12.000 --> 20:14.000 She wouldn't have checked any footprints. 20:14.000 --> 20:16.000 I agree with Betty. I think it's inexcusable, Doug. 20:16.000 --> 20:21.000 David, you have to try to understand his position. 20:21.000 --> 20:26.000 Now, Ellen came to him with what seemed to be a fantastic story. 20:26.000 --> 20:36.000 By getting the hospital records, he hoped to prove to her once and for all how ridiculous she was to ever have had such a crazy idea. 20:36.000 --> 20:43.000 He was only trying to make her realize that she had to forget her son, that her son was... 20:43.000 --> 20:47.000 her son was a part of her past. 20:47.000 --> 20:54.000 Now, under the circumstances, David, it's something I know I would have done, and I'm quite sure you would have too. 20:54.000 --> 20:56.000 Well, maybe I would. Maybe I would. 20:56.000 --> 21:00.000 In any event, what's done is done. 21:00.000 --> 21:03.000 I don't know how much Ellen told you. 21:03.000 --> 21:05.000 Well, she told us everything, I guess. 21:05.000 --> 21:12.000 All about her relationship with Dr. Cole, that her baby was born out of wedlock. 21:12.000 --> 21:15.000 Told us everything there was to know. 21:15.000 --> 21:22.000 I see. Told us about the footprints, and about her making what she considers positive identification. 21:22.000 --> 21:24.000 She's certain that Danny's her son, and she wants him. 21:24.000 --> 21:27.000 And she's not going to get him. I'll die, Doug, before I'll give that boy up. 21:27.000 --> 21:30.000 He is not her son. He's mine, and she's not going to get him. 21:30.000 --> 21:32.000 Why don't you think about getting some sleep? 21:32.000 --> 21:42.000 I'm not going to bed. I can't sleep. I'm afraid to sleep. 21:42.000 --> 21:47.000 There's one thing I have to know. 21:47.000 --> 21:52.000 As a matter of fact, it's the one inconsistency I find in this whole story. 21:52.000 --> 21:54.000 What's that? 21:54.000 --> 22:02.000 Well, now, we've all assumed right along that you were Danny's parents. 22:02.000 --> 22:08.000 What I mean to say is that you were his natural parents. 22:08.000 --> 22:11.000 David, I have to know, did you adopt him? 22:11.000 --> 22:15.000 No, we didn't. He's our son. I gave birth to him. 22:15.000 --> 22:19.000 Betty, I think Doug can be a great help to us. I hope he can. 22:19.000 --> 22:21.000 But if he can, he's got to know the truth. 22:21.000 --> 22:31.000 No, David, no. No, no, no. 22:31.000 --> 22:36.000 We'll return to As the World Turns in just a moment. 22:36.000 --> 22:41.000 Carnation Instant Non-Fat Dry Milk announces a new weight reduction plan. 22:41.000 --> 22:45.000 A meal replacement diet that provides delicious flavor, 22:45.000 --> 22:51.000 1,000 calories, and balanced nutrition for only 44 cents a day. 22:51.000 --> 22:56.000 All you need is a cup and a half of Carnation Instant Non-Fat Dry Milk, 10 cents, 22:56.000 --> 23:00.000 a quart of fresh whole milk, 25 cents, 23:00.000 --> 23:04.000 one standard multivitamin mineral capsule, 9 cents. 23:04.000 --> 23:09.000 To mix, just add the Carnation Magic Crystals to fresh whole milk. 23:09.000 --> 23:13.000 Take one multivitamin mineral capsule each day. 23:13.000 --> 23:19.000 Replace every meal or just one or two meals with a glass of delicious Carnation formula, 23:19.000 --> 23:23.000 the meal replacement formula with fresh milk flavor. 23:23.000 --> 23:25.000 As in all diets, check your doctor. 23:25.000 --> 23:29.000 You'll find full directions for Carnation's new weight reduction plan 23:29.000 --> 23:35.000 on your next package of Carnation Instant Non-Fat Dry Milk. 23:35.000 --> 23:38.000 ♪♪ 23:38.000 --> 23:41.000 Betty, David is right. 23:41.000 --> 23:45.000 I have to know the truth if I'm going to be of any real help to you. 23:45.000 --> 23:49.000 Now, if Ellen has any basis for feeling as she does that you've adopted her son, 23:49.000 --> 23:52.000 well, I have to know. 23:52.000 --> 23:57.000 The point is, dear, that sooner or later the fact will come out. 23:57.000 --> 24:00.000 We have to cooperate with Doug. 24:04.000 --> 24:13.000 Yes, Doug, we have every reason to believe that Danny is the baby that Ellen gave birth to. 24:13.000 --> 24:17.000 Joe Meadows was positive. I just couldn't believe it. 24:17.000 --> 24:19.000 Well, did you admit this to her? 24:19.000 --> 24:21.000 Well, we didn't have to. She was so sure of her grounds, 24:21.000 --> 24:24.000 she and Ellen undoubtedly has all she needs. 24:24.000 --> 24:26.000 Well, how did you leave things with her? 24:26.000 --> 24:29.000 Well, she said she'd give us some time to think it over. 24:29.000 --> 24:31.000 She realized it was such a great shock, 24:31.000 --> 24:36.000 but that she's coming back because she wants her son. 24:36.000 --> 24:38.000 But she can't have him. Surely you must both know that. 24:38.000 --> 24:42.000 Well, we know. We know that he's legally adopted and we love him. 24:42.000 --> 24:44.000 We're not going to give him up. 24:44.000 --> 24:48.000 All these things we told Ellen, but she still seems to feel that we will give him up. 24:48.000 --> 24:51.000 David, you have to understand that the girl is in an emotional turmoil. 24:51.000 --> 24:53.000 Doug, what do you think she's done to us? 24:53.000 --> 25:00.000 I know, I know, Betty, believe me, and I can't tell you how sorry I am that this has happened. 25:00.000 --> 25:07.000 I'm sorry for both of you, and I'm sorry for Ellen, too. 25:07.000 --> 25:14.000 David, undoubtedly you've discussed what you're going to do. 25:14.000 --> 25:17.000 I see it, Doug. There's nothing that we can or should do. 25:17.000 --> 25:20.000 We have the adoption papers. That's all we need. 25:20.000 --> 25:21.000 Yes, of course. 25:21.000 --> 25:25.000 So the question becomes, what is Ellen going to do? 25:25.000 --> 25:27.000 Well, as I see it, there isn't anything she can do. 25:27.000 --> 25:30.000 Oh, Doug, don't say that. She can make so much trouble. 25:30.000 --> 25:33.000 She can't get my son, but do you realize the trouble she can make? 25:33.000 --> 25:37.000 Betty, I sincerely hope that Ellen has too much sense to try to carry this any further. 25:37.000 --> 25:42.000 Naturally, we hope that, too, Doug, but you didn't see her tonight. You didn't hear her on it. 25:42.000 --> 25:45.000 I'm no psychiatrist. I know very little about psychiatry, 25:45.000 --> 25:49.000 but the girl that was here tonight was obsessed with the idea of getting her son back, 25:49.000 --> 25:51.000 and there's nothing going to stop her from it. 25:51.000 --> 25:54.000 Well, in the past, David, I've been able to reason with Ellen. 25:54.000 --> 25:58.000 Let me talk to her. Maybe I can make her understand now. 25:58.000 --> 26:00.000 I suppose you can't. 26:00.000 --> 26:04.000 All right, now, I'd rather go on the assumption that I can. 26:04.000 --> 26:08.000 I think that once the hopelessness of the situation is pointed out to her, 26:08.000 --> 26:11.000 she'll see things differently. 26:11.000 --> 26:15.000 I think she'll realize that the present arrangement is best for her son, 26:15.000 --> 26:20.000 and that, after all, should be her principal consideration. 26:20.000 --> 26:24.000 Well, if there's anything to be gained by my talking to her again, 26:24.000 --> 26:28.000 I thank you. Thank you. We'll see. 26:28.000 --> 26:32.000 In any event, I'll be in touch with you in the morning. 26:32.000 --> 26:37.000 I appreciate your coming over tonight, Doug. 26:37.000 --> 26:39.000 Good night, Betty. 26:39.000 --> 26:41.000 Good night, Doug. 26:41.000 --> 26:45.000 Mommy! Mommy! 26:45.000 --> 26:47.000 Yes, Danny? 26:47.000 --> 26:53.000 I can't sleep! I woke up, and I can't go back to sleep! 26:53.000 --> 26:56.000 Mother's coming! 26:56.000 --> 27:15.000 Your mother's coming! 27:15.000 --> 27:19.000 As the World Turns has been brought to you today by Carnation, 27:19.000 --> 27:21.000 the milk from contented cows. 27:21.000 --> 27:23.000 Carnation Instant Nonfat Rye Milk, 27:23.000 --> 27:28.000 and Carnation Instant Chocolate Drink. 27:28.000 --> 27:34.000 Fashions from Mr. Morgan. 27:34.000 --> 27:54.000 Join us again Monday for another half hour of drama on As the World Turns.
