EPISODE 1
The scene opens to the living room of the Rainier Mansion, where
the body of the Rainier's beloved maid, Coralee, is found lying in a pool of
blood from an apparent stabbing. Camille Rainier is the first to arrive and
find her.
CAMILLE
Oh my God! Coralee! (Screams in disbelief.)
(The screaming brings Celestia and Arianna running down the stairs
where they were studying in their bedrooms.)
CELESTIA
What's all the commotion, mother? (Looks on the floor to notice
Coralee lying in a pool of her own blood.) Oh my God! What happened?
ARIANNA
(Crying.) Who did this to her?
CAMILLE
Girls, did you two hear or notice anything?
CELESTIA
No mother, I was studying upstairs.
ARIANNA
Yeah,me too.
CELESTIA
Who would do this to Coralee? She was a good lady. She never did
anything to anyone.
CAMILLE
(Takes cell out of her pocket) Yes, this Camille Rainier, and I
need to report an apparent stabbing at my home, 777 Cherrywood Heights.
DISPATCHER
Okay, Mrs. Rainier. The police are on their way.
CAMILLE
Thank you. (Closes the cell.) Girls, come here. (Celestia and
Arianna walk over to their mother, where they all hug each other for comfort.)
CELESTIA
I can't believe Coralee's dead. I'm going to miss her.
ARIANNA
How could anyone do this to her?
CAMILLE
I know girls; Coralee was one of the family.
(A knock on the door and Camille goes to answer it. It is Jerry
and Jimmy Banks, Spirit's Rain resident detectives.)
CAMILLE
(Opening the outer door.) Oh, hello guys. Just follow me. The
body's in the living room.
(The Banks brothers, Jerry and Jimmy, follow Camille to the body.)
JERRY
(To Camille.) Did you know the victim?
CAMILLE
Yes, her name is Coralee Cranston, our family maid.
JIMMY
Do you know anything about how this may have happened?
CAMILLE
No, I was coming home from my volunteer work, when I saw her lying
here in a pool of blood.
(Arianna and Celestia enter the living room with the crime scene
unit.)
ARIANNA
Mother, these gentlemen are here about Coralee?
(Jerry and Jimmy fill in the crime scene investigators on what
they have found before they arrived. As
CSI are investigating, Jerry and Jimmy continue to ask questions of Celestia
and Arianna.)
JIMMY
(To Celestia and Arianna.) Girls, do you know anything about this?
CELESTIA
No, I don't. I was upstairs studying for my test for school
tomorrow when I heard my mother scream.
ARIANNA
(After Jerry motions to her.) I didn't hear anything until I heard
Celestia run from her bedroom. I ran out to see what was going on.
JERRY
Okay, girls, Mrs. Rainier, that's about it. We're going to let the
CSI do their job. If you remember anything, give us a call.
CAMILLE
We'll do, Jerry.
(Jerry and Jimmy leave while the CSI investigates the scene of the
murder just as Seth, II arrives home.)
SETH II
What the hell is going on here?
CAMILLE
(Teary-eyed.) Oh, Seth, Coralee has just been murdered. I came
home and found her stabbed in the back and lying in a pool of blood.
SETH II
What?! Who the hell would murder our maid?
CAMILLE
I don't know, Seth. Jerry and Jimmy have been here as well as the
CSI. I've been answering questions ever since they got here.
(While Seth, II and Camille are discussing what just happened in
their living room, Jackson Levitt, is lurking outside the living room window,
spying the scene inside.)
JACKSON
Well, Seth, old buddy, looks like you got some trouble. I wonder
who killed your maid?
(Jackson flashes to earlier this afternoon when he let himself in
looking for Seth, II. Jackson had just gotten back from the sanitarium, where
Marissa, his wife, has been since their third child, Rhia was an infant.
Jackson had hopes that Marissa was getting better, but the doctors said that
Marissa would never come out of it. Fuming, Jackson blamed Seth for Marissa's
depression and catatonic state. Jackson was looking for Seth at the Rainier
mansion, when he ran into Coralee instead. Wanting to hurt Seth so bad and
knowing how close Coralee was to the family, that's when Jackson stabbed her
several times in the back. Thencasually walked back outside.)
JACKSON
(To himself.) You deserve it, Seth. Wish it could have been
someone else, but Coralee is good enough for now. I will make you pay for what
you've done to Marissa!
(And Jackson leaves the Rainier property.)
(Jackson arrives back home to his own mansion, pours himself a
brandy, and sits down at his desk. He remembers when he and Seth were best friends in college until Marissa came
into the picture. For Jackson, he was head-over-heels-in-love with Marissa, but
she only had eyes for Seth. The trouble is, Seth didn't see Marissa in that
way, she was just a way to get his career off the ground. When Marissa
confessed she was pregnant with Seth's child to Jackson and that Seth would not
care about the baby. He seethed at Seth's actions, but promised Marissa that he
would marry her and take care of the baby as his own. So, he and Marissa
married and she gave birth to Abby, Seth's daughter, and never told him.
Jackson raised her as his own. And ever since, Jackson and Seth have been
arch-rivals as they did anything in their power to destroy each other's
businesses.)
(Jackson was still in his
thoughts when daughters Abby and Rhia arrive home.)
ABBY
(Kisses her father on the
forehead.) Hello, Daddy! How was your day?
JACKSON
(Interrupted in his thoughts.)
What? Oh, hi there, girls. Guess I was deep in thought.
RHIA
(Hugs her father.) Sorry
to bother you too, Daddy.
JACKSON
How was your day, girls?
ABBY
It was great, but I have
to get ready for a date.
RHIA
And I have a ton of
homework to do.
JACKSON
Well, Abby, have a nice
time on your date and Rhia, if you need any help with your homework, I'll be in
my office working on some articles that need some attention.
(Jackson goes to his
office as Abby and Rhia goes upstairs so Abby can get ready for her date and
Rhia off to study.)
(Meanwhile, back at the
Rainier mansion...)
CELESTIA
(Still teary-eyed from
the day’s events, sees Seth, III come to his bedroom
door, after a long day at work.) Oh, Seth! (Runs to hug him.)
SETH III
Celestia, what is wrong?
Why are you crying?
CELESTIA
You didn't hear the news?
SETH III
About what?
CELESTIA
Coralee? She's been
murdered!
SETH III
What? How did this
happen?
CELESTIA
Mother came home to find
her stabbed several times and lying in a pool of blood in the living room.
SETH III
Oh my God! I'd better go
see mother. How's she taking it?
CELESTIA
Not good. Not good at
all!
SETH III
I'm going to see mother.
Are you going to be okay?
CELESTIA
Yes, Seth. Go check on
mother.
(Celestia goes to her
room as Seth, III heads downstairs to find his mother.)
SETH III
(Calling for his mother.)
Mother!
CAMILLE
I'm in the kitchen, Seth!
SETH III
I just heard from
Celestia. When did this happen to Coralee?
CAMILLE
Just this afternoon. I
have been answering questions from the police, the CSI and the Banks brothers
all afternoon.
SETH III
Have they figured out
what happened?
CAMILLE
No, Jerry and Jimmy left
about 10 minutes after they arrived and the CSI left about 2 hours ago after
they finished their investigation.
SETH III
Does dad know?
CAMILLE
Yes, he came home while
the CSI was conducting their investigation.
(Just then, Seth, II
comes in the kitchen after hearing voices from his office.)
SETH II
Camille, you in there?
CAMILLE
Yes, dear. Seth just got
home and I was filling him in on what happened.
SETH II
It's a damn shame what
happened to Coralee. Has anyone called her family?
CAMILLE
Oh dear, in all the
commotion, I forgot to let her family know. I think I will go call them.
(Camille leaves for her
bedroom as she prepares to call Coralee's family about her death.)
SETH II
Well, son, how about you
and I prepare some dinner for your mother and sisters?
SETH III
Sure, dad.
(As father and son
prepare the meal for the family, scene fades out.)
EPISODE 2
(Back at the Spirit's
Rain University dorm, Cody Wilson is talking on his cell about what is going to
happen to Seth, II. Cody is at the University not just to study architecture,
but to get revenge on Seth, II for abandoning his mother, Tamara Wilson. Cody
just learned that Seth Rainier, II is his father from his mother.)
CODY
I want a bouquet sent to
the office of Seth Rainier, II with a note on the card to read: "You'll
pay for abandoning your child!"...Okay, got that, ma'am?...Just put the
amount on my tab, give yourself a $5 tip, and have a great day!
(Cody hangs up the phone
and thinks about his revenge he is going to get on his new-found father.)
(The next day, Cody sees
Seth, II from his Trigonometry class speaking with a girl. He walks up to them
and introduces himself.)
CODY
Hey, Seth, who's the
good-looking girl?
SETH III
Oh, hey, Cody! This is
Abby Levitt, the girl-next-door, and my neighbor. We've known each other since
we were children.
ABBY
(Smiles at Cody.) Hi!
CODY
Nice to meet you!
ABBY
Well, boys, I've got a
class to get to. See ya both later. (Runs to her next class.)
CODY
Nice girl. (Eying Abby as
she walks to her next class.)
SETH III
Yeah, she is.
CODY
You two dating?
SETH III
We hang out, if that's
what you're asking.
CODY
Say, I'm having a party
at my dorm tonight, if you and Abby want to come by.
SETH III
Sure, Cody. I'll ask Abby
if she would like to come by.
CODY
Well, gotta run! See ya
tonight, maybe! (Waves good-bye and leaves, leaving Seth, III alone.)
(Scene fades out.)
(The Banks Brothers,
Jerry and Jimmy, show up on Jackson's door to ask questions about The Rainier's
maid, Coralee's murder.)
JIMMY
Mr. Levitt, do you mind
if we come in and ask a few questions of you?
JACKSON
Sure, what about?
JERRY
Well, your neighbors, The
Rainiers, just had their maid, Coralee, murdered in their living room,
yesterday.
JACKSON
Oh my, that's terrible.
How are they doing?
JIMMY
They're a bit shaken up,
especially Mrs. Rainier.
JACKSON
I'm sorry to hear that.
What did you two need to ask me?
JERRY
Did you hear anything
unusual yesterday?
JACKSON
No, I didn't. ... I was
here in the mansion all day. I didn't even leave the property once.
JIMMY
Do you have an alibi?
JACKSON
No, sorry. The two girls
were at school and Terry was at work yesterday. I let the maid and butler off
for the day. I was all alone yesterday.
JERRY
Well, then you know that
you will be a suspect in this murder until further notice. Don't leave town
until this murder is solved.
JACKSON
Yes sir, I don't intend
to.
JIMMY
We'll be by later, or
tomorrow to speak to your children about what they know. Thank you, Mr. Levitt.
JACKSON
I'm glad to be of help.
JERRY
Mr. Levitt, if you do
remember anything, please call the office and let us know.
JACKSON
I will do that, boys.
(Jerry and Jimmy leave
the Levitt mansion and Jackson snickers after they leave.)
JACKSON
(To himself.) Too bad you
boys will never know who really killed that maid. Poor Seth won’t even know what hit him.
(Scene fades out.)
(Cody spots Abby in her
English class at the University and sits down next to her.)
CODY
Hello Beautiful.
ABBY
(Looking up from reading
her Physics reading.) Hello!
CODY
Whatcha reading
beautiful?
ABBY
Just my reading
assignment in Physics,
CODY
Sounds interesting.
ABBY
Kinda confusing. I do not understand it too well.
CODY
Would you like to go out
with me tonight? I could help you with
your Physics?
ABBY
Yeah, sure. I guess.
CODY
Great! Pick you up at 7:00?
ABBY
Yeah. (Abby writes down
her address so Cody can pick her up at her house.)
(Cody says good bye and
lets Abby get to her next class.)
(Cody is seen at Seth's
dorm to let him know that he got a date with Abby, but Seth wasn't there. This
was going to be the start of his revenge on Seth II and Seth III; date Abby
Levitt; but little does Cody know that he is dating his own sister as Abby is
Seth II's daughter by Marissa from their college days; Jackson raised her as
his own.)
EPISODE 3
(Abby is getting ready
for her date with Cody as Rhia comes in to talk to her.)
RHIA
(Knocks on Abby's bedroom
door.) Abby, are you there?
ABBY
Come in Rhia.
RHIA
(opens the door to come
in.) Abby, do you have a minute?
ABBY
Sure Rhia, whats up?
RHIA
I've got a problem. (She
looks to Abby for comfort.)
ABBY
What's wrong?
RHIA
I failed a test miserably
and I'm afraid Dad will be upset with me.
ABBY
Oh, Rhia! Dad won't be
upset. Just explain to him what happened. I'm sure he'll understand.
RHIA
(Sounding uneasy.) You
sure?
ABBY
Of course. Now run along
dear and tell Dad your problem. I have to get ready for this date, or I will be
late.
RHIA
(Hugs Abby.) Thank you
Abby. I love you sis.
(Rhia leaves Abby to get
ready for her date with Cody and runs off to tell her Dad her problem.)
(Cody picks up Abby at
her house for their study date. He
promised he would help her with her Physics assignment, but he had other things
on his mind.)
ABBY
(Greets Cody at the front
door) Hi. Just got to get my study
materials.
CODY
That's okay, dear. How
about some dinner at Connie’s before studying?
ABBY
Sure, I’m kinda famished.
CODY
Okay, then dinner it is!
(Cody takes Abby to
dinner. Cody is helping Abby into the
car after their dinner when he grabs her from behind and holds her nose with a
rag dabbed in chloroform. Abby passes
out in Cody’s arms.
Cody sits Abby upright in the passenger seat of his car. Then Cody dials a number on his cell.)
CODY
Mother, I have her. What would you like me to do next?
TAMARA
Bring her to me.
CODY
Yes, Mother.
TAMARA
I need to start the next
step in our plan to trap Seth II.
(Cody hangs up and gets
in his car and starts the ignition and is on his way to his mother’s house.
When Cody arrives at his mother’s house, he picks up Abby and from the front
passenger seat and carries her into his mother’s house.)
CODY
Mother, I’m home!
TAMARA
(Walking in off
screen) Oh great Cody, dear! Take her upstairs and lay her on the bed
where I set it up for her. Stay up there
and keep an eye on her until I tell you to come down.
CODY
Yes, mother.
(Tamara waits until Cody
is upstairs with Abby before she takes out her cell to call Seth II. She doesn’t want Cody to know that Abby is really Seth
II’s daughter, and that Jackson Levitt raised
her as his own.)
SETH II
Hello, who is this?
TAMARA
Seth, it's me, Tamara.
SETH II
Tamara? Tamara who?
TAMARA
Tamara Wilson. You remember me. From our college days?
(Seth's college days come
flooding back to him.)
SETH II
Tamara, so nice to hear
from you. What did you want?
TAMARA
I have your daughter
here.
SETH II
My daughter? Which one?
Arianna? Celestia? What have you done with her?
TAMARA
Not those two. Your other daughter?
SETH II
What do you mean,
Tamara? I only have two daughters.
TAMARA
Wrong, my dear Seth. You have another daughter. Abby Levitt.
Your first daughter. With
Marissa.
SETH II
What are talking
about? Abby Levitt is Jackson Levitt's
daughter.
TAMARA
I'm sorry. Weren't you told the truth? Did your sweet Marissa neglect to tell you
she was pregnant with your child when you broke her heart for Camille?
SETH II
Marissa was
pregnant? With my child? I never knew.
TAMARA
Yes, dear Seth. Jackson raised Abby as his own all this
time. And your sweet Marissa has been in
a mental hospital ever since she gave birth to Jackson's youngest daughter,
Rhiannon. I hear Jackson has never
forgiven you for Marissa going into the hospital.
SETH II
What do you want, Tamara?
TAMARA
I want you to acknowledge
Cody as your son.
SETH II
Who is Cody?
TAMARA
Cody is my son,
Seth. Your son. The result of our one-night of passion before
you ended our fling and married Camille.
SETH II
Let me get this
straight. If I announce Cody as my son,
you won't expose Abby Levitt as my daughter?
TAMARA
That's right. Because if this gets out, Jackson will be
devastated. He doesn't want you to know
Abby is your daughter.
SETH II
Why doesn't Jackson want
me know Abby is my daughter?
TAMARA
He blames you for Marissa
being institutionalized. He murdered
your maid, Coralee.
SETH II
How do you know it was
Jackson that murdered Coralee?
TAMARA
I told him to do it. We wanted payback for what you did to us back
in college.
SETH II
And what if I go to Jerry
and Jimmy and tell them all this?
TAMARA
If you do, I'll expose
our little fling right before your engagement to Camille and tell everyone that
not only is Abby Levitt is your daughter, but that Cody Wilson is your son as
well. Do you want your sweet Camille
finding out you have two illegimate children?
SETH II
No. I'll have the papers drawn up with my
attorney to have Cody in my will.
TAMARA
Thank you, Seth. I knew you would see things my way. Have a nice night. Talk to you later, Seth.
(Tamara hung up her cell
before Seth II could get a last word in.
Tamara laughed maniacally now that she had Seth Rainier, II right where
she had him. She couldn't believe that
Seth was stupid enough to believe the lie she just told him. He actually believed her when she told him
she had Jackson Levitt kill his beloved maid Coralee. She wondered what he would do if he knew her
real secret?)
(Scene fades out.)
Episode 4
(Tamara knocks on Cody's
door.)
TAMARA
Cody, may I come in?
CODY
Yes, mother, the door is
open.
TAMARA
I just want to thank you
for your part in this scheme to get revenge on Seth,
CODY
What did Seth Rainier do
to deserve this revenge, mother?
TAMARA
You wouldn't understand,
son.
CODY
Mother, I hated lying to
Abby, pretending to be a student and asking her for a date.
TAMARA
I know dear. But it had to be done.
CODY
Mother, you know I'm
gay.
TAMARA
Yes, Cody, I know
that. But I can't let Seth know that.
CODY
Why, Mother? Why can't Seth or anyone know that I'm gay?
TAMARA
Because Seth Rainier is
your father, and he wouldn't understand that he has a gay son. He knows your his son, but he doesn't know
that you are gay.
CODY
Seth Rainier is my
father? I'm glad you told me Mother,
because I was developing feelings for his son, Seth, III.
TAMARA
But Seth III isn't gay is
he?
CODY
I don't know Mother, I
never got the chance to ask him. Now I
don't have to, since he is my half-brother.
TAMARA
Yes, it is a good thing
to know that.
CODY
Well, Mother, I have to
get to work at the TV station. I am
supposed to be covering the murder of Coralee Cranston today.
TAMARA
Okay son, have a nice
day.
(Scene fades out.)
(Seth II is confused by
Tamara's news that Cody is their son.
But he can't believe that Jackson was responsible for murdering
Coralee. He goes to Jackson's mansion to
confront him.)
(Jackson's manservant
answers the door to Seth II and ushers him inside the foyer and directs Seth to
the sitting room, where Jackson joins him shortly.)
JACKSON
Seth, what can I do for
you?
SETH II
I have news that you
killed my maid Coralee?
JACKSON
Really, Seth, do you
really think I killed Coralee?
SETH II
I don't know,
Jackson. I got some very unsettling news
last night.
JACKSON
Well, I am not
responsible for the death of Coralee. I
don't know who told you I was but they're obvioiusly delusional.
SETH II
So you're positive you
didn't kill Coralee?
JACKSON
Yes, The Banks Brothers
already questioned me and I was cleared of any suspicion.
SETH II
Well, thanks
Jackson. I know you and I have had our
issues, but I know you wouldn't kill Coralee.
JACKSON
Yes, we certainly have
had our problems, haven't we?
(Scene fades out as Seth
leaves Jackson's mansion.)
(Cody arrives at the TV
station ready to start on his story, but is told that he is redirected on
another story.)
PRODUCER
Cody, I've moved you to
another story. You're not doing the
Coralee Cranston murder anymore.
CODY
What story am I on?
PRODUCER
We just got word that
Abigail Levitt has been missing since last night. We want you on the case.
CODY
Me. You want me on the case of the missing Levitt
girl.
PRODUCER
Yes, Cody.
CODY
Okay. But I don't know what good I can do?
PRODUCER
You'll do your job and
get to the truth of the abduction.
CODY
Thanks, for your
confidence. I'll do what I have to do.
PRODUCER
We know you will, Cody.
(As the Producer leaves
Cody, Cody has a weird feeling, knowing he was the one who abducted Abby on his
Mother's, Tamara Wilson's, orders.)
(Reaching in his pocket
for his cell, Cody's dials his Mother's number.)
TAMARA
Hello, Cody.
CODY
Mother, we have a
problem?
TAMARA
What is it, son?
CODY
They took me off the
Coralee murder case.
TAMARA
What?
CODY
I am now on the case of
the Abby Levitt abduction.
TAMARA
Oh, my, son. I'm so sorry.
CODY
What do I do now,
Mother? I am the one who abducted her on
your orders.
TAMARA
I'll get back to on
that. I'll figure something out. Don't worry, son.
CODY
I hope so. My job could be at risk if they find out I
abducted Abby Levitt.
TAMARA
They won't find out it
was you. I'll make sure of that.
CODY
I trust you Mother. I trust you to fix this. I'm not going to prison for this.
TAMARA
You won't dear.
(Cody hangs up with his
Mother.)
Episode
5
RECEPTIONIST
May I help you?
CODY
I'm here to see Mr. Rainier.
RECEPTIONIST
Just one moment. I'll buzz
him. Whom shall I say is asking for him?
CODY
Cody Wilson.
(Pushes button on intercom on her desk.)
RECEPTIONIST
Mr. Rainier, a Cody Wilson is here to see you?
SETH II
Send him in immediately.
RECEPTIONIST
Right away, Mr. Rainier.
(Receptionist turns to Cody.)
RECEPTIONIST
You may go on in, Mr. Wilson.
CODY
Thank you, ma'am.
(Cody walks inside Seth II's office.)
CODY
Mr. Rainier, we need to talk.
SETH II
Yes, my son, we do.
CODY
I was looking for a job with your firm.
SETH II
Yes, I've heard you are a really good photojournalist. I need someone to take photos and write
articles of my buildings.
CODY
Well, Mr. Rainier, I'm your man.
SETH II
You're hired. I have some
buildings that are finished in Paris. I
will need you to fly out and get the story on them.
CODY
Yes, sir.
SETH II
When you check in in the morning, my receptionist will have all
your flight details for you.
CODY
Thank you, Mr. Rainier. You
don't know how much this means to me.
(Cody leaves Seth II's office and immediately dials his mother's
cell.)
CODY
Mother, it's done. I got
the job as Seth II's photojournalist.
TAMARA
Well done, my son.
CODY
I have to fly to Paris on assignment for Mr. Rainier in the
morning.
TAMARA
Oh, great, Cody.
CODY
I won't see you until I get back.
TAMARA
Well, have a nice trip, Cody.
TAMARA
(To herself) Things are working according to plan. Soon, I will have Seth II right where I have
him.
Episode
6
(dialing Seth II's number in her cell.) Well, Seth, what's your answer?
SETH II
I want a DNA test first before I accept Cody as my son.
TAMARA
Very well, Seth. I knew you
would want one, so I have a piece of Cody's hair down at the lab. All you have to do is provide a sample of
your DNA to lab.
SETH II
I'll go in at lunch then.
TAMARA
Thank you SETH.
SETH II
Just tell me one thing, Tamara?
Why did you keep me in the dark about Cody?
TAMARA
Well, Seth, you had just dumped me for Camille when I found out I
was pregnant. I didn't want to ruin your
marriage to Camille.
SETH II
Still, you didn't see to it to inform me? I would have stepped up and been responsible
for his care.
TAMARA
I'm sorry, Seth. I don't
know what to say?
SETH II
Well, it's done now. If
Cody is my son, I will do whatever he wishes since he is an adult.
TAMARA
Thank you, Seth. … Oh, I'm sorry Seth, I have
a call coming in. I need to go now. I'll keep you in touch of anything.
(Tamara hangs up with Seth II and answers the other call.)
ALEK GARDNER
So, Tamara, did you get the money from Seth II?
TAMARA
There's been a slight glitch.
ALEK
What do you mean a glitch?
TAMARA
Seth wants a DNA test before he will accept Cody as his son.
ALEK
A DNA test?! Tamara, you
know Cody isn't his son!
TAMARA
I know, Alek. That's why I
have to fake it somehow.
ALEK
It better work, Tamara. If you know what is good for you.
TAMARA
It will, Alek. It will.
ALEK
If Seth II is on to us, I will expose you as the killer of Coralee
Cranston, and that you got Jackson Levitt drunk and framed him for the murder.
TAMARA
Seth II doesn't have a clue about any of this. Just take a chill pill. I'll get the money for you.
ALEK
I need out of this cell, and I need out now!
TAMARA
Yes, Alek........
(The cell lost connection when the prison guard came in to the
visitor center and told Alek his time was up.)

I’m here to see Mr. Rainer.

I’ll give him a call.

Send her in. I have a few
minutes to spare.
RECEPTIONIST
You may go in.
(Tamara heads into Seth’s office.)
TAMARA
I have the DNA results you wanted.
(Tamara hands Seth the paper regarding the DNA of her son, Cody,
as Seth looks it over.)
SETH II
Well, it appears everything is right. Cody is my son.
TAMARA
Well, I told you he was.
SETH II
Well, a man in my position can’t take this too lightly.
TAMARA
I can’t believe you think I’d lie about your child?
SETH II
I didn’t say that!
TAMARA
I know. You have a
family. A wife. Children.
Or should I say…heirs?
SETH II
I’ll make the necessary accommodations for Cody.
TAMARA
Meaning he’ll be put in your will?
Don’t bother.

Omigosh! I forgot about the
time!

That’s okay babe. Can you
get away any time soon?
(Abby coaxes him with kiss on the lips.)

I don’t think Mr. Rainier will mind if I take a small break.
ABBY
Great! I’ll wait for you in
the lobby.
CODY
I’ll just put my camera away and meet out there.
ABBY
I can’t wait!
