Allen confesses

HOSPITAL

(Creative consult MLCProduction)

Lindsay is outside a hospital room watching Jake and Bridget and Gregory catches her.

Gregory: What are you doing? You really shouldn’t be doing this.

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

INSIDE THE ROOM

Jake: I’ll do anything for my little girl.

Bridget: I’m not little anymore.

Jake: Don’t remind me. You’ve grown up so fast.

Vicky walks in.

Vicky: What happened?

Jake: John told me I twisted my knee.

Bridget: He was moving my bed when he hurt himself.

Vicky: I can’t remember any other time I’ve been to the hospital more than I’ve been in the past few days.

Jake: This is a far less serious situation. It’s only a twisted knee.

John walks in and gives him a paper…

John: I’ve made your first appointment for physical therapy.

MONTGOMERYS

Tyrone sits on the couch on his cell phone when Marley walks in.

Tyrone: Yeah ma, you’re gonna be a grandmother. (beat) We don’t know yet. (beat) Let me know.

Tyrone hangs up.

Tyrone: Hey baby.

Marley: Hey. Was that your mother on the phone?

Tyrone: Yeah she wants to come for a visit.

Marley: Oh.

Tyrone: Come on Marley. Mom has softened up over the years.

Marley: She likes me just as much as Etta Mae. Remember that?

Tyrone: Mom doesn’t think you’re crazy.

Marley: Yeah especially now that I’m carrying her grandchild.

Tyrone: Well if ma hasn’t accepted our marriage after all this time then I don’t know what to tell her. You have nothing to worry about. I’m gonna go take a shower.

Tyrone kisses Marley and goes upstairs, while Marley answers the door.

Marley: Allen. Hi.

Allen: Can I come in?

Marley: Yeah sure of course. You look…like something’s on your mind.

Allen: There is.

Marley: Is it about Nicole?

Allen: No. There’s something I have to tell you.

POLICE STATION

Jack is questioning Sage.

Jack: How did you get here?

Sage: That’s not important. I had to get away from mom.

Jack: What the hell is going on between you two?

Sage: Mom is hardly around, and when she is, she complains all the time. I want to go live with Aunt Emma.

Jack: I know you and your sister are spending a lot of time at the farm.

Sage: Mom drops us off there when she doesn’t wanna be bothered.

Jack: Watch your mouth Sage. Your mother loves you and your sister.

Sage: Are you sure?

Jack: Your mom is working long hours.

Sage: Yeah she’s putting in a lot of time at the Lakeview hotel bar.

Jack: What are you talking about?

Sage: Don’t you get it dad? Mom is drinking again.

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

MEANWHILE, IN OAKDALE, ILLINOIS at the LAKEVIEW HOTEL BAR…

The bartender slides a napkin and a short glass of a brown drink with ice to a lady…Carly Snyder…

Carly: You must be like, brand new.

Bartender: Sort of.

Carly: Because you can’t tell the difference between neat and on the rocks. I want my scotch NEAT!

Bartender: I’m sorry ma’am.

He slips her a scotch with no ice…

Carly: Thank you!

Carly lifts the glass to her lips about to take a sip when Grant grabs her wrist.

Grant: You should hold off on that.

PART 2

Jack: You and your mother are fighting again. I’ll talk to her.

Sage: You’ve said that before dad.

Jack: You know I’ve had cases to work on honey.

Sage: What about us dad? What about home? Have you forgotten about us?

Jack: How can you ask me that question? It’s why I’m here. It’s why I work long hours. We’re not rich like Lucinda Walsh. The bills aren’t gonna pay themselves. I work here to support you and your sister, and Parker and JJ are away at school. Tuition isn’t free. I’d like to think you’d be a bit more grateful.

Sage: I’m sorry dad, but we just miss you. If you were home more often, maybe mom wouldn’t drink.

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

Carly: Grant Harrison. You worked with Craig Montgomery. I know who you are.

Grant: I know that you are an alcoholic.

Carly (mockingly): And I shouldn’t be drinking blah blah blah. I’ve heard it all before now if you’ll excuse me, I really could use this…neat…scotch.

Grant: I can’t let you do that. You have to come to Bay City. Something’s happened to your husband.

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

HOSPITAL

Gregory and Lindsay are in an empty room.

Gregory: It’s not healthy for you to be watching Jake and Bridget.

Lindsay: Why? Do you think I’m gonna get jealous over their relationship?

Gregory: It could happen. Look I care about you, and I don’t want you get hurt. Let them have their life. The McKinnons are better off not knowing the truth.

Lindsay: I know what this is about. This is about you easing your conscience because of Michele McKinnon’s death. Look I’m sorry.

Gregory: I will have to live with that for the rest of my life, and their family almost got torn apart because of it.

Lindsay: I understand how you feel, but can you try to understand how I feel? I don’t want to come between Jake and Bridget’s relationship, but I have a right to have one, too.

Gregory: Lindsay---

Lindsay: Derek is always gonna be my dad, and I’m not trying to hurt anyone.

Gregory: But that is exactly what you’re going to do if you tell Jake that he’s your biological father.

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

MEANWHILE…

Jake is on crutches, while Vicky looks at Jake’s appointment sheet, and walks toward the door.

Jake: I can’t get used to these.

Vicky (mumbling quietly): Lindsay Winthrop is gonna be Jake’s therapist?

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

MONTGOMERYS

Marley: What’s bothering you?

Allen: You’ve been so good to me.

Marley: Of course. You’re family.

Allen: When I came to Bay City I didn’t expect that I would feel a part of the Love family. I was so hell bent on getting Nicole out of Pinehaven, that I didn’t consider any collateral damage. I wish I hadn’t done it.

Marley: What did you do Allen?

Allen: I know for a fact that Tyrone and Donna weren’t having an affair.

Marley: How?

Allen: Because I took the pictures.

Marley: What pictures?

Marley flashes back to seeing the pictures on Reginald’s laptop…

Marley: You took those pictures that Reginald had on his computer? How could you do that? Why did you do it?

Allen: I wanted to get some leverage on Tyrone. I’m so sorry.

Tyrone rushes downstairs, punches Allen in the face, and Allen falls to the floor.

Tyrone: You son of a bitch! You almost cost me my marriage and my baby.

Marley: Tyrone---

Tyrone: Get your ass up! Get up!

Allen (touching his lip): I deserved that.

Tyrone: You’re damned right! Now get the hell outta my house before I REALLY kick your ass!
