| Eric |
ERIC (smiling):
Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?
KC WALKS IN AND PUTS HER PURSE DOWN ON A CHAIR, AND ERIC
SHUTS THE DOOR BEHIND HER.
KC: What’s the
matter? Rough day?
ERIC: Well…my mom
just left about twenty minutes ago.
KC: Oooh how did
that go?
ERIC: Who knows
what my mom is up to? I don’t wanna talk
about her anymore. I wanna focus on you.
KC: I just had dinner with my parents and…I need to work
it off.
KC WALKS UP TO ERIC AND PUTS HER ARMS AROUND ERIC’S
SHOUDLERS.
ERIC: What kind of
regimen do you have in mind?
KC: Something
that’s gonna make me sweat.
THEY KISS.

TONI: Hey Felicia,
Mitch. What’s that?
FELICIA OPENS THE BOX AND SHOWS TONI, WHO TAKES A DEEP BREATH.
TONI: Where do you
get this?
MITCH: On our
doorstep.
FELICIA: We opened
the door and we found this, and we all know that Christy is behind it.
TONI: What do you
want me to do?
MITCH: How can you
ask something like that?
FELICIA: Bring
Christy in and question her!
TONI: I’m sorry
I…I can’t help you.
AT WOOD PINES, A NURSE WALKS BY AND FILES A MANILA FOLDER
LABELED “MARGUERITE WINTHROP” INTO A FILE.
AFTER THE NURSE LEAVES, SOMEONE DRESSED IN A WHITE SCRUBS, AND WEARING
WHITE LATEX GLOVES, COMES AND TAKES MARGUERITE WINTHROP’S CHART.
MEANWHILE, CASS, FRANKIE, JOHN AND SHARLENE WALK UP THE
COUNTER AND TALK TO A NURSE.

FRANKIE: Hi we
need to see Maggie Winthrop.
NURSE: Let me
check where her room is.
THE NURSE PULLS UP MAGGIE’S RECORD.
NURSE: She’s a new
patient. She’s not allowed to have
visitors until after the first 72 hours.
JOHN: You don’t
understand this is important.
SHARLENE: We need
some information from her.
NURSE: You’ll have
to come back tomorrow. She can’t have
visitors right now.
CASS: I’m Cass
Winthrop. Maggie’s my daughter and I’m
very concerned.
NURSE: Mr.
Winthrop I can assure you that Maggie’s in very good hands.
 |
| Maggie |
MAGGIE: Nurse…can
you…can you help me? Please.
THE PERSON WHO WALKS UP TO HER BED…IS BRIANNA, WHO TAKES
OUT A NEEDLE. SHE SQUATS WHICH NOW PUTS
HER FACE TO FACE WITH MAGGIE.
 |
| Brianna |
MAGGIE: You?
BRIANNA: That’s
right. How’s the detox going?
MAGGIE: How did
you…get in here?
BRIANNA SHOWS MAGGIE THE NEEDLE.
BRIANNA: I got
what you want…right in here. It’ll
relieve alllll the pain you’re in now.
You know you want it. I mean, I
dropped a couple of pills in your iced coffee and look at you now.
MAGGIE BREATHES HEAVIER.
MAGGIE: No.
BRIANNA: Yes. All you have to do is…gimme your arm. You’ll be as good as new.
MAGGIE: Matthew….
BRIANNA: Oh…you
wanna know how Matthew and I are doing.
He and I are getting closer every day.
At this rate we might get…married?
Don’t worry, I’ll invite you to the wedding. You can be the…opioid addicted guest of
honor.
MAGGIE: You…bitch.
BRIANNA: You
shouldn’t talk that way to someone holding a needle full of fentanyl.
CAMERA PAN ON BRIANNA…SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG.
ERIC AND KC KISS PASSIONATELY AND ERIC GENTLY PULLS OFF.
ERIC: Wow you’ve
been…waiting for this.
KC: I sure have.
ERIC: This is a
celebration right?
KC: Yes sir.
ERIC: You’re the
new PR intern at Bay City Medical Center.
KC: Right again.
FELICIA: Yeah you know Christy’s behind this.
TONI: Do you have
proof that Christy left this on your doorstep?
FELICIA: No but…
TONI: Then there’s
nothing I can do.
MITCH: Didn’t you
think it was suspect that she dropped all the charges? Now she’s done this.
TONI: You don’t
have any proof that she left this at your door.
FELICIA: Come on
Toni don’t you find it just a little odd that Christy didn’t press
charges?
TONI: It was odd,
I agree, but I have to follow the law. I
can’t just go pick her up on an accusation.
I need evidence of a crime.
FELICIA: So we
have to wait until she actually does something harmful to me before you will
consider picking her up?
TONI: That’s not
what I’m saying.
MITCH: Well that’s
what it sounds like to me. You want us
to sit and wait for Christy to commit a crime against us before you will do
something.
TONI: Listen, it’s
not like I don’t want to help you, but I have to go by the book. Until she commits a crime there’s nothing I
can do.
FELICIA: I’ll just
call Cass and see what he says.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASS: You don’t
understand.
JOHN: Maggie could
be in danger.
NURSE: None of our
patients are in any kind of danger here.
This is a very safe and secure environment.
FRANKIE: Please we
really need to see her as soon as possible.
SHARLENE: It
really is a matter of life and death.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIANNA: It was…so
easy. You left your iced coffee in your
locker. You know you should really
invest in a lock. You always were kind
of stupid.
MAGGIE REACHES FOR THE SILENT NURSE BUZZER.
MAGGIE:
Matt…doesn’t know…who you are.
BRIANNA: Oh I
almost forgot about that. Matt and I are
getting along swimmingly. Well, more
than swimmingly. We made love again, and
we’re gonna make love…again and again and again.
MAGGIE: Gonna…I’m
gonna…tell…
BRIANNA: You’re
gonna tell whom? You’re never gonna get
outta here, especially after I inject you with this. Nobody’s gonna believe the word of a drug
addict like you.
MAGGIE:
Not...I’m…not a drug…addict.
MAGGIE PRESSES THE RED BUTTON ON THE BUZZER.
BRIANNA: Yes…you
are. You lose Maggie. You never should have crossed me.
BRIANNA PREPARES TO INJECT MAGGIE WITH THE NEEDLE
CONTAINING FENTANYL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE NURSES STATION…
NURSE: Listen I
can’t let you see Maggie today. Tomorrow
will be a better day.
CASS: Dammit
people could die if we don’t talk to Maggie tonight! I demand you let us see her.
FRANKIE: Is there
a supervisor you can let us talk to?
NURSE: I’ll get
someone.
THE NURSE TURNS AROUND TO GET SOMEONE AND NOTICES AN
ALERT FROM MAGGIE’S ROOM.
NURSE: I can’t I
gotta go.
SHARLENE: What’s
going on?
NURSE: There’s an
alert from Maggie’s room.
CASS, JOHN, FRANKIE, AND SHARLENE FOLLOW THE NURSE.
IN FRONT OF MAGGIE’S ROOM, THE NURSE IS MET BY ANOTHER
NURSE AND TWO BIG ORDERLIES DRESSED IN WHITE.
NURSE #2 HAS A TRAY WITH DRUGS.
JOHN, SHARLENE, CASS AND FRANKIE ARE RIGHT THERE WITH THEM.
NURSE #1: You
ready?
THEY ALL GO IN AND MAGGIE IS SITTING UP, BUT SHE’S STILL
SWEATING AND BREATHING HEAVILY.
MAGGIE: She’s…she was…here.
CASS RUSHES OVER TO MAGGIE.
NURSE #2: Sir you
have to leave.
CASS: Maggie who
are you talking about?
MAGGIE: She
tried…tried…you have to stop her.
FRANKIE, JOHN, AND SHARLENE WATCH FROM OUTSIDE OF THE
DOOR.
NURSE #1: Okay
everybody’s gotta leave. You’re not
allowed in here.
MAGGIE BECOMES AGITIATED.
MAGGIE: You have
to stop her! You have to stop her!
THE ORDERLIES EACH HOLD MAGGIE’S ARMS AS SHE STRUGGLES AS
NURSE #1 INJECTS HER WITH SOMETHING.
MAGGIE: Stop
her…Bri…stop…her.
NURSE #1: You all
need to go or I will have security escort you out.
SHARLENE: We’re going.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THEY ALL WALK TO THE FRONT OF THE NURSES STATION.
FRANKIE: Did
Maggie say anything?
CASS: She kept
uttering ‘she was here’ and that we should stop her.
SHARLENE: Do you
think she may have been talking about Brianna?
JOHN: How could
she have gotten in here?
FRANKIE: I’m gonna
make some calls.
SHARLENE: Do you
think Brianna hurt Maggie?
CASS: I don’t
know, but if Maggie’s talking about Brianna, then we better do what she says
and stop her. She might be more
dangerous than we think.
FREEZE FRAME ON CASS…SLOW FADE OUT…END OF 285
