ANOTHER WORLD 86

Carl threatens Iris and Grant

BAY CITY CENTER

Jack Snyder is on his cell phone with Carly.

Jack: I may have to stay in a hotel for a few days. I have a lot of work to do at the station.(beat). I had to take this job to support our family. (beat). I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you.

He sees Vicky walking by.

Jack: Vicky.

Vicky: Jack, hi.

Jack: Do you mind joining me for a minute? We haven't talked in a while.

Vicky: Why not? I've got a few minutes.

CORY MANSION

Elizabeth comes downstairs and sees Cory.

Elizabeth: I heard arguing. What was it all about?

Cory: WHo do you think? It was about dad.

Elizabeth: I heard Amanda, too.

Cory: You heard right. I can't shake the feeling that she's telling the truth.

Elizabeth: What are you talking about?

Cory: Amanda told mom to face the truth about who dad really is. He always has an agenda, and he's somewhere carrying it out.

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

IRIS'S SUITE

Carl is pointing a gun at Grant and Iris

Iris: You haven't changed at all. You're the same old scum who tried to kill my father.

Carl: And you claim that you loved Mac? You're the same lying bitch who tried to steal his company from him, not to mention that you tried to have me shot at my wedding to Rachel.

Iris: Daddy turned over in his grave the day Rachel married you, and you know nothing about my relationship with my father.

Carl: I do know about relationships with children, like the one you destroyed Grant when you finished off my son Ryan..and my other son Evan.

Iris: Evan is your son? He is Howard Battis's son.

Carl: No my dear...he's MY son.

BAY CITY CENTER

Vicky: I saw you were on the phone. Was it Carly?

Jack: Yes.

Vicky: How's everything with that?

Jack: It's fine. It's just that I'm working an hour from Oakdale, and it doesn't make sense to go all the way home, just to get right back up and come back here.

Vicky: I've never been to Oakdale. I've heard a lot about it though. Especially James Stenbeck.

Jack: I wonder what you've heard.

VIcky: I wonder if I have time to tell you everything I've heard about your town. I would probably be here all night.

They both laugh.

Jack: You seem a lot happier.

Vicky: I am. My husband and my daughter are back home. My son is the one I'm worried about.

Jack: Why?

Vicky: He's running for mayor against his father, and I'm worried about what Grant will do to Kirkland to win the election.

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

CORY MANSION

Elizabeth: Maybe dad wanted to go out and get some air.

Cory: Really Lizzie? I doubt that very seriously.

Elizabeth: I can't believe you're still thinking about what Iris said to us in the Center about dad.

Cory: It could be true. I don't see dad through rose colored glasses anymore. He's capable of some serious crimes.

Elizabeth: I don't care what Iris or Amanda says. I don't care what dad did in the past, I still love him.

IRIS'S SUITE

Grant: I never meant to shoot Ryan at the train trestle. That happened over fifteen years ago. You need to move on. Didn't all your madness cause your brain tumor in the first place?

Carl: You smug, evil bastard. How can you stand there and justify killing Ryan and shooting Evan?

Grant: I had nothing to do with what happened to Evan?

Carl: I'll be watching you, waiting and plotting for the right moment to strike. You will never know the time or the place. I promise to take from you...what you took from me. My peace of mind, my tranquility...you took when you killed my son. Now it's your turn to suffer. ANd Iris, if you hurt any member of my family, I'll make you wish you pulled the plug when you had the chance.

Carl points his gun at Grant.

Carl: I should end your life right now.

Carl pulls the trigger and squirts Grant with water.

Iris: A squirt gun?

Carl: Maybe you should have it replaced with bullets next time, Iris.

Carl leaves.
