HOSPITAL
John Hudson is in his office and Brianna Jameson walks in.
Brianna: Hi Dr. Hudson?
John: Yeah come on in.
Brianna: HR sent me.
John: Right. I like to meet all the candidates, well, as many as I can.
Brianna: Right.
John: So I went over your resume, and you did your clinicals at Mass. General?
Brianna: Yes. It was a great experience. I learned a great deal.
John: So what brings you from Boston to Bay City?
Brianna: Boston is a such a big city. I’m a small town kinda gal you know?
John: Bay City General though?
Brianna: Yeah I...heard a lot about this hospital. Never a dull moment. I think you were treated here for malaria.
John: By a guy who shouldn’t have been practicing.
Brianna: Yeah I uh...heard about Fax Newman, too.
John: I see you’ve done your research.
Brianna: Yes sir I did.
John: And since you’ve done your homework, you know that we never have enough good nurses.
Brianna: Very hard to come by in this field.
John: You’re exactly right. There’s been some turnover here and we need somebody who’s gonna stick around.
Brianna: Hopefully Bay City will be a place that I’d like to stay in. A good job could factor into that.
John: A job I hope that you can start today.
Brianna: Today? Does this mean I….?
John: That’s if you want it.
Brianna: I’ll take it! Thank you. I will make my presence felt here. I promise you that.

OUTSIDE OF JOHN’S OFFICE...Brianna makes a phone call…
Brianna: Mama. It’s me. Yeah I got the job.

CORY PRODUCTIONS
Amanda and Rachel walk into Matt’s office. Matt is sitting at his desk.
Matt: Hey mom.
Rachel: Hi honey.
Matt: Amanda how was the board meeting?
Amanda walks slowly Matt’s desk and puts papers on it.
Amanda: It was...interesting to say the least.
Matt: What is this?
Amanda: The contract.
Matt: For the merger?
Amanda: Yes.
Matt: Are sure you can trust Iris?
Rachel: I sure wouldn’t.
Amanda: That’s why this contract was drawn up. She has to agree to be the co-CEO of the new company.
Rachel: You’d be having to watch your back so she doesn’t stab you in it.
Amanda: She said she’d think about it, but my offer has an expiration date.
Rachel: You’ve done well Amanda.
Amanda: She needs the connections that we have to grow her brand.
Matt: What are you gonna do when Iris tries to betray you?
Rachel: Carl and I have come up with a plan. Iris won’t betray you.
Matt: What about Paulina and Sandy?
Amanda: My sister and my other brother are okay with it. I’ve gotten their written agreements. I need yours now.
Matt: Well you know you’re also going to need the board to sign off on it, too.
Amanda: That’s the problem. One of the board members retired effective immediately.
Matt: So we can’t execute the deal until we have all seven board members’ signatures.
Amanda: First we gotta find another board member.
Matt gets up and and blinks his eyes.
Amanda: Matt what’s wrong?
Matt: Nothing I just feel a little...hungry.
Matt tries to walk and stumbles.
Rachel: Something’s wrong with you. We need to get you to the hospital.
Matt: Mom.
Amanda: Mom’s right. You need to get checked out.
-------------------------------------------------------
CORY MANSION
Carl opens the front door and Lorna walks in with an envelope.
Lorna: I got it.
Lorna gives him the envelope and Carl reads its contents.
Carl: This is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you.
Lorna: Are you...ready for your party?
Carl: As ready as I’ll ever be. How’s Devin Lucas adjusting?
Lorna: I don’t think he’s having any problems whatsoever getting acclimated to Bay City.
-------------------------------------------------------
SUITE
Devin Lucas opens the door and Iris walks in.
Devin Lucas: Sorry I haven’t been in touch with you. I went to see my dad.
Iris: Really? About?
Devin Lucas: Just...just some family stuff.
Iris: I’m really really sorry about Carl.
Devin Lucas: Is that right? I thought you’d be jumping for joy being that you tried to shoot him at his wedding.
Iris: I’ve done my time for that. It was a learning experience.
Devin Lucas: And exactly what did you take from it? How to be a better shot?
Iris: I saw the pain on Rachel’s face when I heard her say he had a brain tumor, and she’s already had so much loss in her life, as have I...so yes I’m sorry that your father’s dying. My father died, too.
Devin Lucas: It’s tough, but I didn’t call you over here to give your fake condolences for Carl.
Iris: Well excuse me for being concerned.
Devin Lucas: What did you decide about Amanda’s merger proposal?
CAMERA PAN ON IRIS...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG

PART 2
HOSPITAL EXAM ROOM
Amanda waits with Matt.
Matt: Come on Amanda I’m not three you and mom don’t have to wait here with me.
Amanda: Will you let me be concerned about you? I am your sister.
Matt: I’m fine okay. I don’t even know why I agreed to come here.
Amanda: Because mom and I weren’t gonna give up until you did.
A nurse walks in with a chart.
Nurse: This is...Matthew Cory?
Matt: Yep.
Nurse: Is this your…
Matt: Sister.
Nurse: Well sister…
Amanda: Name’s Amanda.
Nurse: Amanda I’ll need you to wait outside. I need to examine your brother.
Amanda: I’ll be right out here.
Amanda leaves the room as the nurse retrieves a blood pressure strap.
Matt: Before you poke and prod me, can I get your name?
Brianna: Oh sorry. My name’s Brianna.
-----------------------------------------
OUTSIDE THE ROOM
Amanda talks to Rachel.
Rachel: How’s Matthew?
Amanda: Stubborn as always. Anything on Iris yet?
-------------------------------------------
Iris: I haven’t decided yet.
Devin Lucas: Well you need to make some type of decision because I’m sure Amanda’s offer’s not gonna stay on the table.
Iris: If I accept this offer, KBAY could become a powerful company.
Devin Lucas: But you and I were supposed to take over the company and make it powerful.
Iris: You have to trust me on this. I have a place for you in the company.
Devin Lucas: Doesn’t it make you wonder why Amanda proposed a merger to you? Out of the blue?
Iris: I’m considering everything here.
Devin Lucas: Sounds like you’re double crossing me.
Iris: No. No that’s not it at all. You have to trust me on this. I know exactly what I intend to do.
Devin Lucas: Which is?
Iris: You’ll have to wait and see won’t you?
Iris leaves and Devin Lucas makes a phone call.
Devin Lucas: Hi it’s me.
The person on the other end is Carl.
Carl: So what happened?
------------
Devin Lucas: She did exactly as you said she would.
-----------
Carl: You can’t trust her, especially when it comes to Cory Productions. Don’t worry son, I’ll see to it that Iris will be neutralized.
------------
Devin Lucas: Are you at home?
------------
Carl: Yes...with your mother.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CORY MANSION
Carl hangs up and walks back into the living room where Lorna awaits.
Lorna: What do you plan on doing with what I gave you?
Carl: Don’t worry your pretty little head about it.
Lorna: So you’re not gonna let me in on this plan?
Carl: Not completely, but I will tell you that what’s in this envelope has been twenty years in the making. It’s time I finally stick it to Grant Harrison.
