Scene One: Boston Police Headquarters. Amy Smythe is filling out a report about what Mike Whitfield had done to her. OFFICER: Are you finished, Ms. Smythe? AMY: Yes, I am. OFFICER: Are you willing to submit for a Rape Kit? AMY: I don't think he raped me. OFFICER: It helps to be sure. AMY: Very well. I will do that. (Amy goes off to take the rape kit. Enter Vivienne.) VIVIENNE: Are you all right, Amy? AMY: Yeah, I am fine. I don't know if you knew what happened. VIVIENNE: I kind of wonder. Had it something to do with Mike? AMY: Yeah. He tried to seduce me! VIVIENNE: I kind of figured that his secret would come out! AMY: Yeah! I will see you later. (Vivienne's suspicions have been confirmed) Scene Two: Harper Academy. Michael is talking with Andrew. MICHAEL: I had wondered where your father was. ANDREW: I couldn't say anything about it, Mr. Harper. Had it not been for your cousin, Roger, I would have never said anything. MICHAEL: My cousin is always good to help out in such situations. ANDREW: Will my uncle be kept away from here? MICHAEL: I am sure that he will. I will see to it myself. ANDREW: Thank you, Mr. Harper. MICHAEL: No student under my care will be harassed by people whom they don't want to see. ANDREW: Thank you, sir. MICHAEL: You don't worry about it, Andrew. If need be, I can contact one of the psychologists that come to the school and they can talk to you about it. ANDREW: I would appreciate that. (Andrew is amazed how the headmaster cares about his students) Scene Three: The lobby of the police station. Vivienne is seeing Michael since he was arrested. VIVIENNE: Well, well, well, Mike. I should have known. MIKE: Please, Vivienne, don't say anything. VIVIENNE: What SHOULD I think, or even say?! MIKE: You can't think it! VIVIENNE: NOW, I know what it was you did, you LIAR! MIKE: Viv, it's not what you think. VIVIENNE: I see Amy going to take a rape kit, what do you think I should realize? MIKE: Don't you understand?! VIVIENNE: I understand perfectly! (Vivienne storms off) Scene Four: An interview room at the Police Headquarters. OFFICER: You know why you are here, Dr. Whitfield, right? MIKE: I am telling you, I didn't seduce Amy Smythe! OFFICER: What are we supposed to believe? Your track record speaks for itself. I am surprised that your license wasn't pulled! MIKE: Nothing like that happened. I was never charged, you know that! OFFICER: I am sure you didn't. MIKE: You act like you don't believe me! OFFICER: You got that one right, buster! MIKE: You can look up my record! I wasn't charged! OFFICER: We're going to see your profile, and I will say this, if you are lying, then you will be in jail for a long time! MIKE: I am telling you the truth! OFFICER (mocking): I am sure you are! MIKE: You treat me with respect, damn it! OFFICER: Why should I respect you, when you don't respect women? (The officer walks out laughing, while Mike is sullen!) Scene Five: Lobby. Vivienne is still livid with what happened. Eric comes in. He was in Boston getting school supplies. ERIC: Aunt Viv. What's going on here? What are you doing here. VIVIENNE: Oh, Eric. It's your uncle Mike. ERIC: Oh no. You found out about his secret, didn't you? VIVIENNE: Yes. Now I know why he had to have left Gordon Bay! ERIC: What do we do?! VIVIENNE: I am sorry, honey. (Enter Amy) AMY: Oh my goodness, Eric. VIVIENNE: What happened? AMY: Thank heavens I wasn't raped. VIVIENNE: That is a blessing. Mike is getting interviewed. ERIC: What did he do? AMY: He attacked me, but didn't rape me. I fought back. ERIC: Amy, I am so sorry. AMY: Thanks. (Eric sees his uncle handcuffed, and he is enraged!) (Voice of Julia Barr: "Harpers Falls: A New Beginning will continue in a moment, here on ONtv.") Scene Six: The Harper Mansion. Wendy is relaxing when the phone rings. WENDY: Hello? VIVIENNE: Wendy, it's Viv. WENDY: Where are you? VIVIENNE: At the Boston Police Headquarters. WENDY: What has happened? VIVIENNE: Mike. He was arrested. WENDY: For what? VIVIENNE: He attacked Amy! WENDY: I can't believe it. He's worse than Dane was! VIVIENNE: I am afraid you are right. WENDY: Where's Eric? VIVIENNE: He's with me. He's not too happy with Mike either. WENDY: Michael is at the school, I can have him called. VIVIENNE: I would appreciate that. WENDY: No worries, sis. (Enter Michael) MICHAEL: What's wrong, Wendy? WENDY: Eric's uncle Mike was arrested for attacking Amy Smythe. MICHAEL: I can see about getting something done. WENDY: What is that? MICHAEL: Talking with the courts to get Eric adopted as soon as humanly possible. WENDY: That would be good for us. (Michael gets his cell and talks to his attorney.) Scene Seven: Boston Police Headquarters. ERIC: All right, "Uncle Mike", answer me why I don't beat the crap out of you where you are! MIKE: I know you are angry at me, but if you would just understand... ERIC: Understand WHAT?! That you use a counseling practice to seduce women?! What is there to understand?! That is unethical! MIKE: Please, Eric, let me.... ERIC: Get away from me! Don't even THINK of touching me! I don't EVER want to see you again! MIKE: Eric, you're my brother's son! My only flesh and blood! ERIC: You should of thought of that before you seduced Amy Smythe! VIVIENNE: You leave him alone! I am disappointed in you, Mike, and I know SHANE would be too! (Mike winces when he hears Shane's name) MIKE: You're not going to tell him about all this, are you? VIVIENNE: What do YOU think? After all, all the time you were in Gordon Bay, you said NOTHING to him! MIKE: I was busy! VIVIENNE: Yes, you were quite busy, seducing every woman in the Southland! ERIC: I don't ever want to speak to you again! You make me SICK! (Mike is stunned while Vivienne and Eric leave the Police station) Scene Eight: An attorney's office in Boston's Prudential Tower. Michael is talking to an adoption lawyer. LAWYER: I am sure we can speed up the process, given that you are now married to his mother. MICHAEL: I want to make sure he is protected. He had just seen his uncle arrested for attacking someone. LAWYER: This would make it even more of an imperative to get Eric adopted. MICHAEL: I hope it works out. LAWYER: You need not worry, Mr. Harper. But I do wonder, why did you not have your family attorney do this? MICHAEL: Camilla is more of the town's prosecutor, as opposed to doing our own family law business. She wanted to help, but we told her it was better that she stuck with what she knew. LAWYER: Sounds good. Shall we look over the papers? MICHAEL: I want him to feel as if he is our son. I know he's Wendy's birth son, and I want him to know that his heritage is important. LAWYER: Good idea. MICHAEL: We can work on that. LAWYER: Sounds like you have it under control. MICHAEL: I believe we do. (Michael and the attorney prepare the final steps for Eric's adoption) Scene Ten: The Harper mansion. Everyone in the family is there. SHEILA: This is strange. JASON: Yes, it is, honey. What are we all doing here? AUDRA: Sounds important, if Uncle Michael wanted us all to meet here? AARON: I don't get any of it. VERONICA: We shall all find out soon enough. (Enter Michael with Wendy) MICHAEL: I suppose you are all wondering why we're assembled. PATRICIA (smiling): The thought DID cross our minds. (Everyone laughs, breaking the tension) DYLAN: What's going on, Dad? HANNAH (holding Maggie): Are we here for a new expansion of the family? MICHAEL: I hope so. WENDY: We know that we threw most of you when we eloped. We are thinking of having a small family wedding here at the mansion. Nothing major, but to solemnize the marriage here in front of the family. ERICA: That is SENSATIONAL, Michael. (Enter Vivienne and Eric) VIVIENNE: What is going on? WENDY: We're planning a small wedding here at the mansion, for me and Michael. Since we eloped. VIVIENNE: That is great. MICHAEL (looking at Eric): And we have a nice surprise for you too, Eric. ERIC: What is that? MICHAEL: I went and signed the final papers. You will become my son very soon. DYLAN: Welcome to the family, Eric! ROSEMARY: Yes, indeed. ERICA: You are joining a very powerful family. (Everyone laughed) WENDY: Thank you, everyone. (The family celebrates) (Voice of Zack Conroy: "On the next Harpers Falls...") LIANE (to Jane): A small wedding at the Harpers? SABRINA (to herself): Officer, you will pay for what you did to my sister! ASHLYN (to Hannah): I can't wait to see the upcoming wedding. |
