ANOTHER WORLD 90

Grant sees Jack as a threat

PI FIRM

Frankie is there when Kirkland walks in.

Frankie: Kirkland hi. How are you?

Kirkland (looking around): Wow I haven’t seen this office since I was little. My Uncle Ryan worked here with you right?

Frankie (smiling): He sure did. I’ll never forget him. Hey congratulations on your running for mayor.

Kirkland: Thank you.

Frankie: What brings you by?

Kirkland: That’s what I came to talk to you about.

Charlie walks in unheard by Kirkland.

Kirkland: I want you to dig into my father’s past.

Charlie angrily accosts Kirkland.

Charlie: Oh no you DON’T!

Jake now walks in.

Frankie: Charlie what’s wrong?

Charlie: He wants you to dig into Grant’s past so he can get revenge against him!

Kirkland: Charlie come on…

Charlie: NO! I’m not gonna let you use my mother in your feud with your dad!

Jake walks up to Kirkland.

Jake: Kirkland is that true?

CARLINOS HOUSE

Paulina answers the door…and it’s Jack Snyder…

Paulina: Jack. Come in.

Jack: How are you?

Paulina: I’m okay I suppose. Can I get you something?

Jack: No…I suppose.

Paulina: What brings you to my house? I didn’t call the police.

Jack (smiling): I just wanted to drop by and see how you were doing. I didn’t hear from you for a little while.

Paulina: I’m fine, but you could’ve called and asked that. Why did you decide to drop by?

Jack: Umm…cop’s instinct.

Paulina (smiling): About what?

Jack: I get the feeling everything isn’t right with you.

Paulina: You know what…you’re right. I’m not okay…at all.

CORY MANSION

Rachel stands at the glass doors when Carl comes from behind her and puts his arms around her waist.

Rachel: I still can’t believe you’re here.

Carl: I can.

Rachel: Someone’s gonna need to pinch me so I can make sure that this isn’t a dream.

Carl: You and my children kept me going. You kept me alive.

Rachel: We said good-bye to you. We all thought we would never see you again.

Carl: Evan kept me alive in the hospital.

Rachel: I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that he and Frankie are twins. I thought Howard Battis was Evan’s father.

Carl: Janice and I had a fling. She got pregnant and never told me. She passed Evan off as Howard’s baby, and her other egg was planted in Emma.

Rachel: Wow you’re sowing your seeds everywhere huh?

Carl: Five children, and two of them are dead…thanks to Grant.

CAMERA PAN ON CARL’S CHANGED EXPRESSION…SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG

PI FIRM

Frankie: Charlie what’s going on?

Jake: Kirkland can I talk to you outside please?

Kirkland: Sure.

Jake and Kirkland leave.

Charlie: Mom don’t take any job that he’s offering. All he wants is to get revenge on Grant.

Frankie: Grant moved heaven and earth to take him away from Vicky and Jake. I understand why he’s angry.

Charlie: I don’t. I was angry at you for so long, but when I saw Felicia’s crying over Mitch, I realized my grudge was petty.

Frankie: That’s commendable, but everybody’s not the same. Kirkland seems very angry at Grant.

Charlie: And I don’t want him using you to fuel his anger.

Frankie: I’m a big girl I can take care of myself. I guess what I would want to know is how deep are your feelings for Kirkland?

Charlie: I like him, but he has to give up this vendetta. I don’t want to be with someone consumed with anger like that.

Frankie: Does he like you?

Charlie: Yeah I believe he does. Don’t get me wrong mom, I like him.

Frankie: Then don’t let anything stand in your way. Go for it. Don’t end up like your father and me.

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

OUTSIDE THE OFFICE

Jake: Can you tell me what’s going on buddy?

Kirkland: I’m running for mayor.

Jake: To get back at Grant?

Kirkland: Something like that.

Jake: So you’re telling me it has nothing to do with what Grant did when you were younger.

Kirkland: So what are you gonna do Jake? Are you gonna try to talk me out of it, too?

Jake: You can run for mayor, but not to get back at Grant. I mean if it were anyone else I’d say go for it, but Grant? You know how your father can be.

Kirkland: And that’s why I’ve gotta crush him. I’m gonna do what I need to do.

Jake: I think you need to be careful when it comes to Grant, especially on this level.

Kirkland: I can handle my dad. I want him to pay for what he’s done. He’s hurt so many people. He killed my uncle Ryan.

Jake: Kirkland it’s not….it’s not up to you to deal out justice. Let everything play itself out. You need to live your life. Seems like Charlie is really into you.

Kirkland: I don’t think so. She wants me to give up running for mayor.

Jake: She sees that it’s going to hurt you…and so do I. You can’t be like Grant. Vicky and I didn’t raise you that way.

Kirkland: Well I’m not that little boy anymore. You might have to get used to the fact that I can be just as ruthless and heartless as my dad.

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

CORY MANSION

Carl and Rachel have made their way to the couch. Carl holds Rachel in his arms as they stare at the ceiling.

Rachel: How do you think Grant is involved in Evan’s death?

Carl: I don’t have any proof Rachel. Just a gut feeling.

Rachel: Well…we just got ya back. Are you gonna go on some revenge tirade like you did before?

Carl: I feel the same way now as I did after Ryan was killed.

Rachel: Evan was sick. He kidnapped Amanda, and his own sister.

Carl: He couldn’t have acted alone in carrying this out. Back and forth from Bay City to St. Croix. Someone was helping him.

Rachel: And you think that person was Grant?

Carl: I have no doubt in my mind. It’s time for Grant to pay…and he will…one way or the other.

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

CARLINOS HOUSE

Grant walks up to the door and notices Paulina and Jack talking. He decides not to interrupt, and eavesdrop.

Jack: I didn’t think so. What’s wrong?

Paulina: Honestly it’s…getting a bit lonely around here.

Jack: What about Dante?

Paulina: He’s going to the Police Academy, and there’s nothing I can do about it.

Jack: Well the Police Academy might be good for him.

Paulina: No it’s not Jack. There’s no way!

Jack: I mean I came out okay right?

Paulina: His father didn’t. My husband didn’t. I don’t want him to end up like Joe. He’s all I have left in Bay City.

Jack: He seems like a smart kid. He’ll be fine.

Paulina: Remy is living her life out of town. Joe’s dead. Now my son is going off to the Police Academy. It seems like every time I love someone, they leave me one way or the other.

Jack: What about Grant?

Grant listens more intently.

Paulina: Why would you ask me about Grant?

Jack: It’s just a question. You said you’re lonely and it seems like he has strong feelings for you.

Paulina: I’m taking that day by day.

Jack: That’s understandable after all the things he’s supposedly done.

Paulina: I’d like to think he’s changed, but there’s something not sitting right with me.

Jack: As I told you before, if you want me to help you, just say the word.

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

OUTSIDE

Grant: I see Jack Snyder’s gonna be a problem.
