ANOTHER WORLD 95

Showdowns...and secrets

SHOWDOWN #1---Grant vs Kirkland

Grant is at his home, and he opens an invitation to the grand re-opening of the Harbor Club. He goes back to shut the door and Kirkland shows up.

Grant: Kirkland...come on in son.

Kirkland: I'm gonna cut to the chase. I'm gonna give you one last chance to concede the mayor's seat to me.

Grant (laughing): Do you really think I'm gonna drop out of this race?

Kirkland: You sound awfully sure of yourself don't you dad?

Grant: I held a Senate seat. I know what it takes to win an election. I'm actually glad you came by. I was gonna ask you to do the same thing.

Kirkland: I guess that puts us at an impasse.

Grant takes out a flash drive given to him by his investigator.

Grant: No...actually we're not.

Kirkland takes out his folder given to him by Paul Williams.

Kirkland: You would be correct dad.

SHOWDOWN #2----Vicky vs. Stacey

Stacey answers the door at her hotel room, and Vicky walks right in.

Stacey (sarcastically): Come in Vicky. What do you want?

Vicky: Something's not right. You left Bay City over twenty years ago, and all of a sudden you're back. What's really going on?

Stacey: I don't owe you an explanation.

Vicky: You're hiding something.

Stacey: Just like I told you before, I'm here for my daughter.

Vicky: That's bull. You're back to ruin my mother's life again.

Stacey rolls her eyes and sighs...

Stacey: Vicky you know what I can't do this right now.

Vicky: You ARE gonna do this because I'm not gonna let you ruin my mother's life again.

Stacey: Believe it or not, I'm here to help YOU!

HUDSONS HOUSE

Mitch is upstairs confronting Sharlene.

Sharlene: How did you get in here?

Mitch: The door was open.

Sharlene: Maybe you should call first before coming.

Mitch: I'm sorry. I came to check on you, especially after what I saw the other day at the Center.

Sharlene: And I told you I'm fine. What was so serious that you are barging into my house to see me?

Mitch becomes more concerned...

Mitch: You have no recollection of it do you?

Sharlene: I remember seeing you in the Center. What are you getting at?

Mitch: It seemed you were in a trance when I saw you the other day, and now I catch you talking to yourself in the mirror. Are you personalities splitting again?

SHOWDOWN #1/SECRET #1 CONTINUED...

Grant (smiling): You're becoming more like me every day. I must say it's quite impressive.

Kirkland: I'm NOTHING like you!

Grant: Oh but you are. You're resorting to blackmail to get me to drop out of the race.

Kirkland: Who said anything about blackmail?

Grant: I've seen this movie a thousand times. I know how it usually plays out.

Kirkland: Aren't you doing the same thing? I bet you're gonna use whatever is on that flash drive to get me to drop out.

Grant: Do you think I WANT to do this?

Kirkland: You're ruthless enough.

Grant: You're my son. I love you, and I don't want to blackmail you. I don't want you to take this personally. This is how it is in politics.

Grant walks over toward his computer...

Grant: I almost forgot to tell you...Charlie stopped by yesterday.

Kirkland's attention is raised...

Kirkland: What about Charlie?

Grant (sticking the flash drive into his laptop): She's a fine young woman, and it seems that she really cares about you.

Kirkland: You leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with this election.

Grant: Oh but she does...I don't think you want her to find out about this. Take a look...

Grant plays the contents of the flash drive, and it's footage of Kirkland feeling up and kissing the male bartender while he was in Genoa City...shocking Kirkland...

Grant: Let me start of by saying that if you think I have a problem with you being gay, I don't.

Kirkland: I'm not gay!

Grant: Well, your constituents would think otherwise if this went viral. Nobody would vote for you, not to mention Charlie would want nothing to do with you on a romantic level. If you drop out of the race, then I'll destroy all evidence I have of your Genoa City encounter.

Kirkland, becoming unfazed, mockingly claps his hands...

Kirkland (taking out the folder from his jacket): Good one dad, but I think I can do you one better. Take a look at this.

Grant: Flight plans? Bank records? What does this mean?

Kirkland: I can make you Bay City's enemy number one all over again.

Grant: How do you think you're gonna do that with flight and bank records?

Kirkland: Take a goood look at it again dad. That's the day that Evan Frame died. You were in St. Croix that day weren't you?

Grant: I can take a vacation.

Kirkland: Oh you weren't on a leisurely excursion. You were on a mission to stop Evan because he could put you behind bars with what he knew. Oh the bank records? That's the offshore account that you closed a day after Evan's death. All those deposits to that said account....came from YOUR account. You bankrolled his sick revenge plan, didn't you?

Grant: This is all circumstantial. Doesn't prove anything.

Kirkland: It doesn't? What if...say....Jack Snyder got a hold of this information? It'll give him a beginning point to start digging, and Paulina would wake up and drop your sorry ass. So what was that question again? Oh...do I want to drop out of the race? Maybe you should ask yourself that , unless you want to spend the rest of your life in prison.

SHOWDOWN #2/SECRET #2

Vicky: What the hell does that supposed to mean?

Stacey: What do you think it means? What's the most important thing to you?

Vicky: My family of course, the one I'm trying to protect from you!

Stacey: It's not me that your family's gonna need protection from Vicky.

Vicky: So you're trying to make amends for taking Mikey away from my parents all those years ago. It's a little late for that.

Stacey: This has nothing to do with Donna.

Vicky: Enlighten me.

Stacey: You want the truth?

Vicky: Yes.

Stacey: Let me ask you a question. Don't you ever wonder what happened to Jake after his accident at Crawfordsville?

Vicky: What are you talking about? He was missing for a while. He lost his memory.

Stacey: Do you know where he was during that time?

Vicky: I don't know. Will you get to the point?

Stacey: Sure Vicky! He was with ME!

Vicky: With you? Where?

Stacey: In L.A. I had broken up with Derek, and he was caring, and attentive.

Vicky: I'm not following.

Stacey: That's because you don't want to follow. I'll spell it out for you. Jake and I were together, and we had a short term relationship.

Vicky: What? You opportunistic tramp! He had NO idea who he was, and you took advantage of him! How could you do that?

Stacey: He made me feel great, and I didn't want to lose that feeling.

Vicky: You didn't bother to call Cass or anyone else in Bay City. You selfish BITCH! That's why you came back! You came to steal my husband!

Stacey: Yes I was selfish, but I don't want Jake. I didn't think it could happen to me after I lost Megan.

Vicky: Wait a minute. You got pregnant...with Jake's baby? How do you know if it was Jake's baby?

Stacey: Because my daughter showed me the DNA test...

Vicky: Lindsay? That girl is Jake's daughter?

Stacey (throwing up her hands): That's the truth. I'm here to protect your family, because Jake can never know that Lindsay is his daughter. Lindsay's gonna get hurt, and she wants to tell him.

Vicky is shocked and paces back and forth...

Stacey (continuing): She thinks she's gonna have a relationship with him. Jake is probably not gonna bond with her because he's not gonna feel connected. He probably won't remember even being with me. Lindsay can't tell him.

Vicky: You're right.

Stacey: What? You don't think that Jake should know about this?

Vicky: No. Jake can't find out about Lindsay.

SECRET #3

LIVING ROOM OF THE HUDSONS HOUSE....

Sharlene (becoming nervous): That's ridiculous. Of course not. I've been integrated.

Mitch: Do you remember seeing me at the fountain?

Sharlene: You were waving in front of my face. How could I forget?

Mitch: I said your name three times and you hadn't responded. It was like you were under a spell

Sharlene: Maybe I was...enjoying the comforting sounds of the fountain.

Mitch: You were watching Carl and Rachel.

Sharlene: Why would I do that?

Mitch: You probably wouldn't do it Sharlene, but someone else may have.

Sharlene flashes back to her "conversation" with Janice, stating that she knows what Janice wants...

Sharlene: My God, that's what she wants. She wants Carl.

Mitch: Who wants Carl?

Sharlene: Janice

Mitch: What do you mean? Janice is dead.

Sharlene: No...she's not....she's trying to surface, through me.

Mitch: Is Janice one of your alters? Sharlene: My God it's happening again.

Mitch: You gotta get some help. John can help youSharlene: NO! I don't want John to know about this
