PART 1
 
AT THE CENTER, RAFAEL IS SITTING AT A TABLE ON HIS CELL PHONE.
 

Rafael Santierro

RAFAEL:  I mean I…did some time in jail, but I have experience being a driver.  I did my time and I just need a chance to get on my feet…okay thank you.
 
RAFAEL PRESSES END CALL.
 
RAFAEL:  Dammit!
 
RAFAEL MAKES ANOTHER CALL.
 

Rachel Cory Hutchins

RAFAEL:  Hi Rachel.  Lucky for me I remembered the landline number.
RACHEL (v.o. on phone):  Rafael hi.
RAFAEL:  Have you been by to see Maggie?
RACHEL: No change last I checked.  I think she could really benefit from you going to see her.
RAFAEL:  Yeah I’m gonna go by in a few but I called because I was wondering if you had any work available on the grounds.
RACHEL:  I’m sorry I don’t.  I have people that work for me now and they do a great job taking care of everything.
RAFAEL: I figured but I’m having a hard time finding work since I got back and being I’m fairly familiar with the estate, I thought you could hire me to do some jobs.
RACHEL:  I really wish I could help you but I’m very pleased with my .  If it’s money that you need I could loan you some.
RAFAEL:  No…no that won’t be necessary.  Thanks Rachel.  I’m gonna go see Maggie.
RACHEL:  If you need anything let me know.
RAFAEL:  Will do.
 
DANA WALKS UP AS RAFAEL ENDS HIS CALL WITH RACHEL.
 

Dana Kramer

DANA:  May I sit?
RAFAEL:  Sure.  Although I do have to ask, there are plenty of other seats available.  Why sit across from me?
DANA:  I heard you on the phone.  You’re looking for a job aren’t you?
RAFAEL:  Yeah.  Why are you asking?
DANA:  I’m getting to that.
RAFAEL:  Sorry I don’t know you.
DANA:  You may not know me, but I know you.  In 2002, you were sentenced to twenty five years in prison for drug trafficking, but you were released on good behavior.  You lived in Bay City and you worked for Carl Hutchins. 
RAFAEL:  How do you know me?
DANA:  I have my ways of finding what I want Mr. Santierro, but I’m not only here to make your acquaintance.
RAFAEL:  What do you want with me?
DANA:  You’re absolutely perfect the position I have open.
RAFAEL:  So you’re offering me a job? 
DANA:  Yes.  Come work for me.
RAFAEL:  What will this job entail?
DANA:  Come back to my office, and we can discuss those details.

AT STEVEN’S LOFT, SOMEONE RINGS THE DOORBELL AND HE ANSWERS IT.
 

Joy Kramer

Steven Frame

STEVEN:  Joy.
JOY:  May I come in?  I understand if you don’t…
STEVEN:  Of course you can. 
 
JOY WALKS IN AND STEVEN SHUTS THE DOOR.
 
STEVEN:  I’ve been worried about you since we argued.  You haven’t answered any of my calls or texts.
JOY:  I’ve been…spending time with my mother.
STEVEN:  Wow. 
JOY:  I thought about what you said, and I decided to forgive her.

Felicia Gallant Blake

Lily Mason

AT THE BLAKE’S, SOMEONE RINGS THE DOORBELL AND FELICIA ANSWERS IT.
 
FELICIA:  Oh my God.  Lily?
LILY:  In the flesh.
FELICIA:  Well don’t just stand there.  Come in come in.
 
THEY HUG.
 
LILY:  I had to come and see you.
FELICIA:  It’s been so many years.  How are you?
LILY:  I couldn’t be better.
FELICIA:  That’s good.  I saw your daughter Joy.  I knew her father pretty well.
LILY:  Marshall?
FELICIA:  We worked together when we were at Cory Publishing.
LILY:  I always knew he was gon’ make it.
FELICIA:  He was a very nice guy.
LILY:  So why didn’t it work between you and him?

-----------------
 

Jake McKinnon

Thomasina Mason

 
AT THE HOSPITAL, JAKE ARRIVES AT THOMASINA’S OFFICE.
 
JAKE:  You called.
THOMASINA:  Yes.  Thanks for coming. 
 
THOMASINA WALKS OVER TO HER DESK AND SITS DOWN AT HER COMPUTER.  JAKE SITS ACROSS FROM HER.
 
JAKE:  You said something about the breach.
 
THOMASINA PRINTS SOMETHING AND GRABS IT OFF THE PRINTER.
 
THOMASINA:  I can’t give you any specific details.  But this.  This tells you when it happened.
 
SHE GIVES JAKE THE PIECE OF PAPER, THEN PRINTS SOMETHING ELSE OUT.
 
THOMASINA:  And this is when Bridget visited her OB.
 
JAKE COMPARES THE TWO PIECES OF PAPER.
 
JAKE:  Oh my God.  This isn’t what I wanted to see.
 
CAMERA PAN ON JAKE.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF PART 1.
 

----------------------
 
PART 2
 
STEVEN:  That’s…that’s fantastic.  I know it couldn’t have been easy for you.
JOY:  No it definitely wasn’t.
STEVEN:  Do you feel like I…pushed you into doing it?
JOY:  No…no not at all.  It was exactly what I needed.
 
JOY SITS DOWN AND STEVEN SITS NEXT TO HER.
 
STEVEN:  How did it go between you and Lily?
JOY:  She didn’t say anything that she didn’t say before.  I just listened this time.
STEVEN:  You were more receptive.
JOY:  Right.  And I…I understood where she was coming from.  For the first time I finally got it.  The lifestyle she was living was no place for a child to be.  So she left me with Thomasina and Carter to raise.  I saw where she was coming from.
STEVEN:  You look like a weight has been lifted off of you. 
JOY:  I always felt like I was carrying this resentment around.  I developed a rough exterior because of it.  It was a protection mechanism.
 
STEVEN RUBS JOY’S NECK AND BACK AREA.
 
STEVEN:  I saw right through it the first day I met you.  I saw someone who had a good heart.  You had love to give.
JOY:  And you didn’t give up on me. 
STEVEN:  I fall in love with you more and more each day.  Your beauty, your strength. 
JOY:  And my aggravation. 
 
THEY LAUGH.
 
JOY:  I’m sorry I snapped at you like that.  I’m sorry that I brought up your mother the way I did.
STEVEN:  Shhh.  I forgive you.
 
STEVEN LEANS IN TO KISS JOY WHEN HIS PHONE VIBRATES.  HE CHECKS THE TEXT.
 
STEVEN:  Might be one of my patients.
 
STEVEN CHECKS THE TEXT.
 
STEVEN:  Wow.
JOY:  What is it?
STEVEN:  Guess Bridget taught grandma how to text.
 
STEVEN LOOKS AT JOY.
 
STEVEN:  Donna’s throwing a homecoming party for Bridget, and we’re invited.
JOY:  What about your mother?  I’m sure she’s gonna be there.
STEVEN:  Don’t worry about my mother.  I’ll handle that.
 
STEVEN PUTS THE PHONE ON THE TABLE, THEN KISSES JOY.

-------------------
  
FELICIA:  I didn’t quite see him as a romantic interest. 
LILY:  I don’t how see you didn’t.  All that fine chocolate.
 
THEY LAUGH.
 
FELICIA:  He left town shortly after.  Then I fell in love with John.
LILY:  Are you talking about John Hudson?  Sharlene’s husband.
FELICIA:  There are a hundred stories I could tell you. 
LILY:  Me, too.  I had to come see you because…because of Wallingford.
 
FELICIA SMILES.
 
FELICIA:  Yeah.  I miss him every day.  After everything that’s happened, I wonder what he would say to me.
LILY:  I don’t know what he would say, but I know what he wouldn’t do.  He wouldn’t judge you.  He would tell you about yourself.
 
FELICIA CHUCKLES.
 
FELICIA:  He sure would.
LILY:  But, we would go on like nothing ever happened.   He was the best. 
FELICIA:  Yes he was.
LILY:  That little man had big spunk.
 
FELICIA SMILES AND SIGHS.
 
FELICIA:  I’m sure he’s looking down on us from heaven.
LILY:  He died in peace.  You know that’s the best thing in the world…peace. 
FELICIA:  Have you spoken to Joy?
 
LILY SMILES.
 
LILY:  Yes.  She forgave me.  She felt like I abandoned her.  After I explained everything she…she understood.   She was so angry, and I was responsible for that.
FELICIA:  Lorna was the same way when I found out she was my daughter.
LILY:  When she forgave me, and we cried, and hugged, I saw her spirit lighten.  If you asked me why I came back to Bay City, it’s because I wanted my daughter’s forgiveness.  Now I can…be at peace.
 
SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR, AND FELICIA ANSWERS IT. 
 

Devin Hutchins

FELICIA:  Devin.  Oh come in.
DEVIN:  Hey grandma.
LILY:  Who is this good looking young man?
FELICIA:  He’s my grandson Devin.
LILY:  Nice to meet you Devin.  Well I’m gonna get out of here.
FELICIA:  Ooh Lily.  Thank you for coming by.
 
THEY HUG.
 
LILY:  Take care.
 
LILY LEAVES AND DEVIN TURNS TO FELICIA.
 
FELICIA:  Hey I’m glad to see you.  What brings you by?
DEVIN:  Came to check on you. 
FELICIA:  Aren’t you nice.  I’m fine.  Wait a minute.  Your club is going to open soon.
DEVIN:  Yep.  Tomorrow.
FELICIA:  Are you ready?
DEVIN:  Absolutely.

AT DANA’S OFFICE, DANA IS SITTING BEHIND HER DESK AND RAFAEL SITS ACROSS FROM HER.
 
RAFAEL:  So that’s what I’d be doing? 
DANA:  Yes. 
RAFAEL:  So what makes you think I’m perfect for this job?
DANA:  Put it like this.  You don’t like to get your hands dirty, but you don’t mind some dinginess.
RAFAEL:  The dirtiest I got was taking down the Cory Ice House and touching the side of the unwashed limo.
DANA:  You don’t have to downplay it.  You worked for Carl Hutchins.  Even after he married Rachel he wasn’t the mostly saintly man in town.
RAFAEL:  But you’re a hotshot attorney not a reformed criminal.
DANA:  The way I see it, Rafael, is that you don’t have a whole lot of choices.  I don’t think any other place in town is going to put a convicted felon on their payroll.  Look, if you need time to think about it, which I couldn’t imagine why you would need that, then I’ll give you twenty four hours.  
 
RAFAEL GETS UP, WALKS TO THE DOOR, STOPS AND TURNS AROUND TO FACE DANA.
 
RAFAEL:  I’ll take the job.

DANA:  I knew you'd make the right decision.  

 
DANA SMILES WHEN MAURICE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR, CARRYING FLOWERS.
 
RAFAEL:  Looks like you got a visitor.

DANA:  I'll be in touch.  Welcome aboard.
 
RAFAEL WALKS OUT AS MAURICE WALKS IN.
 

Maurice Bingham

DANA:  Oh my God,  I’m so sorry I lost track of time.
 
DANA LOOKS AT THE FLOWERS.
 
DANA:  Who are those for?
MAURICE:  Oh these.  I…um…lost a bet with another doctor so I have to carry these around town.
DANA:  You’re a gambler.
MAURICE:  Would you mind putting these in water?  You can keep these.
DANA:  So you’re not taking them along with us for our…conversation.
MAURICE:  Nah.  You can leave them here.
 
DANA AND MAURICE SMILE AT EACH OTHER.
 

---------------------------
 
THOMASINA:  Jake do you have an idea of who might have been behind this?
JAKE:  No.  I was just trying to verify when Bridget had her test and when the breach happened.
THOMASINA:  Nobody else’s personal health information was compromised during the breach.  Just Bridget’s and someone else’s.
 
JAKE GETS A TEXT FROM DONNA.  THE TEXT READS:  Come one come all.  Welcome home Bridget.  Party tomorrow.  Bring Paulina.
 
JAKE:  Umm I have to leave.  Can I keep these?
THOMASINA:  There’s no specific information on those sheets so you can keep them. 
 
THOMASINA GETS IN FRONT OF THE OFFICE DOOR, BLOCKING JAKE FROM LEAVING.
 
THOMASINA:  If you know who did this, you need to come forward. 
JAKE:  If I knew, don’t you think I would tell you?  I thought the hospital was investigating.  These papers don’t prove anything.  These are only dates.  Nothing specific.
THOMASINA:  True, but call me if you think of anything.
JAKE:  I will.
 
THOMASINA WALKS BACK TO HER DESK AND JAKE LEAVES.
 
OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE, JAKE MAKES A PHONE CALL.
 
JAKE:  I have to talk to you. 
 
FREEZE FRAME ON JAKE.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF 324
