Scene One: Dylan's townhouse. It is the day after the funeral, and Dylan is sitting alone in his bedroom. He is holding the teddy bear that Alex had specially made for him. Tears are falling from his eyes. Audra is downstairs making some breakfast. Shawn comes in. SHAWN: Couldn't sleep last night, eh? DYLAN: No, I couldn't even try. SHAWN: I am sorry, cousin. DYLAN: Why, it's not your fault. SHAWN: You just lost the love of your life, and nobody can blame you for that. Damn that Libby. She's so PROUD of what she did! (Enter Audra) AUDRA: Dyl, I know you've not been eating, but can you at least try? DYLAN: All right, Audra, I will do my best. AUDRA: That is all I am asking. (Dylan, flanked by Shawn and Audra, go downstairs to eat breakfast.) SHAWN: You need not worry, Libby will get her's. That is for sure. (Dylan sits down and, to the delight of both Shawn and Audra, begins to eat his breakfast.) Scene Two: Michael and Wendy's townhouse. Ralph is sitting with Michael and Wendy in their living room. RALPH: How is Dylan doing? WENDY: He's trying to soldier on, it's not easy for him. RALPH: I wouldn't think so. MICHAEL: Libby is absolutely gloating about what she did. RALPH: She has gone too far on this, Michael. Whatever she has done, she has to take on her own. WENDY: I don't understand, Ralph. RALPH: She is not going to be receiving any help from my family. I have been talking with Linda and Brad, and they are in agreement with me. She will receive no help from the family. (Enter Vivienne) VIVIENNE: Doesn't that mean she is left out in the cold? RALPH: Possibly, Viv. Not that I am denying her. VIVIENNE: I agree she should be punished, especially for what she had done to Dylan. WENDY: What do they think she will be charged with? RALPH: She may only be charged with criminal facilitation. Since she had ordered the kill, but did not kill him, evidence wouldn't point out that she had committed the murder. VIVIENNE: There OUGHT to be something that could nail her for the killing directly. (The group sits silently) Scene Three: Outside of Sheila Watkins Designs. Libby has planted herself outside of what, she thinks, should be HER business. Sheila comes up, and groans. SHEILA: What do YOU want? LIBBY: You know you can stop this war right off the bat. You just have to do one thing. SHEILA: What? LIBBY: Just sign over total control of this business to me. I think Libby Atchison Designs has such a nicer ring to it. SHEILA: Will you just leave?! LIBBY: Why will you NOT sell to me?! SHEILA: Because, bitch, the place is NOT for sale! LIBBY: Don't be silly! Everyone has a price! SHEILA: Get off this property, before I throw you off myself! LIBBY: You are crazy! SHEILA: No, Libby, I am not the one who is crazy! It's YOU who is crazy! LIBBY: I want this business, I am going to have it! SHEILA: You're finished, you little bitch! Why don't you just admit it?! LIBBY: I will get this business, and put you down in the process! SHEILA (grabbing Libby and slamming her against the wall): There is no way in hell you will take this business from me! I will make sure of that! I am telling you for the last time, get the hell off of my property! I will demolish you if you don't! (Sheila shoves Libby and goes into the business! Libby is enraged!) Scene Four: Patricia and Vivienne's condo, later that day. Vivienne is working on some reports for the company that she owned. Her cell phone rings. It is her son, Shane. He is a writer in Los Angeles, and is considering moving to Boston. VIVIENNE: Hi there, darling. What are you doing? SHANE: I am taking a break from a meeting with my editor. He's arranging for me to meet someone in the Boston office. VIVIENNE: That sounds wonderful. So, when will you be coming home? SHANE: I have to arrange for my things to be moved to Boston. I have yet to find an apartment here. But I am thinking that I would want to have Eric move in with me. VIVIENNE: That sounds good to me, but what do you think Michael and Wendy would say? SHANE: I asked them myself. They think that it makes a lot of sense. Eric and I are related, and we're related to the Harpers now, and it would make things easier. VIVIENNE: That is good, then. Will you be calling me when you know the date? SHANE: Yes, I will be. VIVIENNE: I can't wait, love. SHANE: Me neither, Mom. Love you. VIVIENNE: Love you too, darling. ![]() (Vivienne hangs up the phone and goes back to work) Scene Five: The Ritz-Carlton. Libby runs into her former sister in-law, Alexandra Chadwick. ALEXANDRA: Any luck on the fashion house? LIBBY: No! That bitch still won't sell! ALEXANDRA: Everyone has a price. LIBBY: Not her, apparently. She refused point blank to sell. ALEXANDRA: You promised that you would procure a fashion house! This would be the perfect front! LIBBY: What are you talking about, Alexandra?! ALEXANDRA: Nothing...nothing. LIBBY: What about that fashion house, Spiegel's that you said would be better. ALEXANDRA: That works too. LIBBY: What are you planning on doing? You said this would be a perfect front! A front for what? ALEXANDRA: A high priced call girl front. With them as fashion models, the money will pour in! LIBBY: Beautiful, Alexandra! And what money we make, we can finance one of the biggest criminal rings in all of New England! ALEXANDRA: And we would be wealthier than that stupid family we were in! LIBBY: Indeed. And nobody, especially the police would dare to stop us! (Alexandra and Libby laugh) (Voice of Wil Heuser: "Harpers Falls will return in a moment here on ONtv.") Scene Six: The Atchley Mansion. CRAIG: Hannah, have you talked with Dylan? HANNAH: Yeah, I called him last night. He is still in mourning. CRAIG: That is to be expected, darling. HANNAH: Audra called and she said he finally ate something. It's a start. CRAIG: Yes, it was. I am glad he is getting back to the living, but he may end up mourning Alex for a long time. HANNAH: I hope that isn't the case. He certainly doesn't need that. CRAIG: I know, it will keep him from living. HANNAH: He should be fine, though. CRAIG: And we're going to be there for him. HANNAH: Is Maggie all right? CRAIG: Yes, Steven is watching her and so is Mrs. Buxley. HANNAH: Are you thinking what I am thinking? CRAIG: I think so, sweetie. (Hannah and Craig begin to kiss passionately) Scene Seven: Luke Erickson's apartment. He and Vanessa Harper are coming back from their lunch date. VANESSA: That was wonderful. Haven't had true Clam Chowder before. LUKE: Didn't they have that in New York? VANESSA: Manhattan Clam Chowder, but it pales in comparison to the real stuff. LUKE: How are you related to the Harpers? VANESSA: My dad's father, Preston Harper, was the brother of Richard Harper. Richard was my uncle. LUKE: What do you do? VANESSA: I am a graphic designer, much like my late Aunt Vanessa was. LUKE: Have you thought of doing things like that for the city? VANESSA: I haven't thought much about it. I would like to do that. LUKE: I can check into that, and ask around. VANESSA: I would love that. LUKE: I will get back to you on that. VANESSA: But what about us being together? LUKE: I think we can work around that. (Vanessa and Luke tentatively come close and then they kiss) Scene Eight: Outside of Chadwick-Atchison Designs. ALEXANDRA: Here's to our new business. LIBBY: And to all the money that we will have! ALEXANDRA: Not to mention our little side businesses. LIBBY: That too! ALEXANDRA: My family has bankrolled this. LIBBY: Good, my family will not be butting their nose into this business. ALEXANDRA: To our new lives, and our new happiness! LIBBY: Brad lost a treasure. ALEXANDRA: Yes, he did! LIBBY: Not only will we win, we will shut down Sheila Watkins Designs! ALEXANDRA: Yes, indeed! LIBBY: Our company will REAP in profits and Sheila Watkins will be in the gutter! What a win! (What Alexandra and Libby don't know is that Linda is outside, overhearing everything.) LINDA: Don't bet on it, little sister! I will make sure you fail! (Linda goes to the nearest police station and goes to tell them what she knows about what Libby did!) Scene Nine: Camilla Griswold's office. She and Patricia are talking. CAMILLA: I got some good news and yet some bad news too. PATRICIA: What is it? CAMILLA: Libby CAN be charged, but not with first degree murder. PATRICIA: Why? CAMILLA: The evidence points to where she ORDERED the killing, but didn't kill Alex outright. She could only be charged with criminal facilitation. Since she ordered the kill, and didn't actually do the deed, she could only get a few years in prison. PATRICIA (sadly): So, Libby gets by with it, why does that not surprise me? CAMILLA: Not really, Patricia, she won't get away with it. That is for sure. I am going to try to charge her under the RICO laws. PATRICIA: I don't get it. CAMILLA: RICO. Since this was a killing that was ordered by another person, it does kind of fall under racketeering. Since Libby's main intent was to scare Sheila into selling her fashion house, she had someone killed to send a message. PATRICIA: That does make some sense, Camilla. CAMILLA: I will talk to the DA and see what he thinks, and then I think we can have Libby charged as late as this afternoon. PATRICIA: I would appreciate that. (Camilla calls the DA) Scene Ten: The Atchison Mansion. Libby is poolside, gloating. LIBBY: Sheila Watkins, your day is done; and Libby Atchison's has just begun! You are FINISHED! And nobody can lay a hand on me! (Enter the police) OFFICER: Libby Atchison? LIBBY: Who wants to know? OFFICER: You are under arrest! LIBBY (stunned): For what?! OFFICER: Criminal facilitation to commit murder. LIBBY: You can't do this to me! OFFICER: Of course we can! You've the right to remain silent. (Libby is seething as she is handcuffed and taken from the pool area.) (Voice of Fiona Spence: "On the next Harpers Falls..." LIBBY (to judge): Not guilty! SHEILA (to Dylan): Libby Atchison has been arrested. CODY (to Amy): Amy, would you marry me? |
