ANOTHER WORLD EPISODE 45

Rachel chooses a buyer for Cory Publishing!

HOSPITAL

Lindsay is doing physical therapy exercises with Gregory.

Gregory: You know I…I never apologized to you.

Lindsay: For what?

Gregory: Losing it over my cousin’s death.

Lindsay: Oh you have nothing to be sorry for. I understand.

Gregory: I was using steroids so I could get an advantage on the football field at school, and I got rages because of them.

Lindsay: We’ve all made mistakes.

Gregory: Without my mom and dad I don’t know where I’d be. Where’s your mom?

Lindsay: Not sure. I guess she’s fine.

Gregory: I haven’t heard you once talk about her.

Lindsay (avoiding the subject): Why don’t we work on flexing your legs.

CORY MANSION

“I need you to come here now. It’s about Cory Publishing.” Says Rachel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POLICE STATION

Toni is on the phone as she’s looking at the evidence found in Dr. Taylor’s office.

Toni: John it’s Toni Burrell I really need to talk to you. Please call as soon as you get this message. It’s very important.

Jack Snyder walks in.

Toni: Jack Snyder huh? You’re the new Chief of Detectives.

Jack: Yep.

Toni: Welcome aboard. Here to give me your first order.

Jack: We need you to question the client about the corporate espionage.

Toni: Alright I’m on it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTERROGATION ROOM

Toni walks in with Jack and Toni is shocked.

Toni: What the? Allen what the hell are you doin’ here?

Jack: You know him?

Toni: Yes! He’s my ex-husband.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HUDSONS HOUSE

John hangs his cell phone after checking his voice mail. He wonders why Toni wants him to come to the station. He walks in the house and is horrified by what he sees. The living room has been ransacked. He calls out for Sharlene, but gets no answer.

John: Can’t be Gregory’s steroid rages. He’s at the hospital. My God. Has she turned back to Sharly?

CAMERA PAN ON JOHN….FADE TO THEME SONG

HOSPITAL

Lindsay walks in with a cup of coffee and approaches Greg.

Lindsay: How many did leg flexes did you do?

Gregory: A few. I notice you didn’t want to talk about your mom.

Lindsay: We need to focus on your therapy.

Gregory: Lindsay. You’re helping me get better, in more ways than just physical therapy. Why don’t you let me help you?

Lindsay: Because you can’t.

Gregory: Try me.

Lindsay: Look you can’t do anything about it. My mom and I don’t speak and that’s it!

As Lindsay takes a sip of her coffee, she accidentally spills some on Greg’s right leg, and he flinches and kicks.

Gregory: Geesh that’s hot!

Lindsay: Did you see what just happened?

Gregory: You spilled hot coffee on my leg. It hurt.

Lindsay: And you kicked your leg. You’re getting feeling back!

CORY LIVING ROOM

Reginald walks in and Rachel approaches him.

Rachel: I’m glad you could make it.

Reginald: You said this was about…

Rachel: Cory Publishing.

Reginald: And how do I fit into this equation?

Rachel: I want to sell it to you.

Reginald: Wow Rachel. That’s kind of huge.

Rachel: Not really. I think you’re more than capable of handling it.

Reginald: So you’re just gonna sell the company that your late husband Mac built from the ground up?

Rachel: This wasn’t an easy decision to come to, but this is business.

Rachel gives Reginald a thick envelope.

Rachel: Why don’t you have your lawyers review these contracts…I can tell you one stipulation that’s in it.

Reginald: What would that be?

Rachel: If I sell this company to you, you cannot turn around and sell it to Iris.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POLICE STATION

Toni (shutting the door): What’s going on with you?

Allen: Nice to see you, too.

Toni: You were involved with corporate espionage? What have you gotten yourself into?

Allen: I’m trying to protect my mother Toni. I’m doing this for her.

Toni: Is somebody threatening her?

Allen: I’m gonna wait till my lawyer gets here.

Tyrone walks in, and he, too, is shocked, as is Toni.

Toni: Tyrone Montgomery? You’re representing Allen.

Tyrone: I don’t know if I should not.

Allen: I called you because you’re good, and you’re gonna get me out of here.

Toni: Y’all know each other?

Tyrone: Why should I do that?

Allen: That’s what brothers do.

Toni: Okay what’s going on here?

Tyrone: You didn’t know Toni? He’s Clayton Montgomery’s other son.

Toni: Wait a minute. That’s your father. So y’all are…really brothers?

Allen: Guess you kept it in the family huh?

JOHN APPROACHES TONI

Toni: John you got my message? Oh my God.

John: Yes, and I’m afraid something’s happened to Sharlene.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRIVATE PLANE

A person with black gloves on their hands is sitting on a couch, reviewing Sharlene’s psychotherapy notes, and places them next to Dr. Taylor’s laptop, and then they look over at an unconscious Sharlene, who is lying on the couch.
