GRANT’S HOUSE

Grant is reading an article on his laptop when Kirkland walks in.

Grant: I see I need to have those locks changed. I don’t want you stealing all my secrets for the election.

Kirkland: No.

Grant: You know the debate is coming up. I don’t think you should be here.

Kirkland: I’m right where I need to be dad.

Grant: Are you sending someone in your place?

Kirkland: I’m not sending anyone.

Grant: So you mean to tell me you’re just gonna skip out on it.

Kirkland: Yep…I’m dropping out of the race.

POLICE STATION

Carl is outside of Rachel’s holding cell. Rachel is inside. They are both at the bars clenching hands…

Carl: I’m gonna get you out of here.

Rachel: I’m so sorry that I didn’t tell you about going to Reginald’s suite.

Carl: We can deal with that later. We need to focus on getting you out of here.

Rachel: Who would have wanted to frame me for this?

Carl: I will find out and get to the bottom of it. I’m going to go home and arrange bail.

Rachel: We don’t know if I’m going to even make bail.

Carl: Darling don’t think like that. We’re gonna get you out of here okay. I love you.

Rachel: I love you.

Carl leaves and Rachel turns and walks slowly toward her cot.

Rachel: Who would want me to take the fall for Reginald’s murder?

Suddenly, Rachel hears a clacking of heels walking toward her cell, and Rachel turns around…and sees Iris.

Iris: Well well well. Some people do get what they deserve.

Rachel: You! I should’ve known you would do something like this.

Iris: Do what?

Rachel: You know exactly what I’m talking about. You set me up.

Iris: Oh my God…you think I set you up to take the fall for Reginald’s murder?

FRONT OF THE CORY MANSION

Frankie approaches the front door and gets a phone call from Cass on her cell phone.

Frankie: Cass? I’ve been meaning to call you. Where are you?

Cass: I’m at the police station.

Frankie: Rachel?

Cass: Yes. I’m trying to arrange her bail. Where are you?

Frankie: I just came to the Cory Mansion. I…I wanted to see Carl. I know he must be worried sick about Rachel.

Cass: Last I saw him he was with Rachel down in her cell.

Frankie turns her back to the door.

Frankie: My God.

Cass: Clearly Rachel’s being framed.

Frankie: Who would want to do something like that?

Janiceopens the front door and sees Frankie on her cell phone.

PART 2

Grant: Are you sure?

Kirkland: Never been more sure of anything in my life.

Grant: Wait a minute. Who put you up to this? Charlie? Victoria? Jake?

Kirkland: No dad it was my decision.

Grant: I want you to follow your dreams son. Don’t let anyone deter you.

Kirkland: I get it, but I don’t want to be part of this anymore. I don’t wanna be in the political game.

Grant: Would it have anything to do with that flash drive I obtained?

Kirkland: I’m not dropping out of the race because of that. I want to marry Charlie.

Grant: Even after what I saw on that flash drive. Does she know?

Kirkland: No she doesn’t know, and nobody is going to tell her.

Grant: You can still be married and pursue the mayor’s seat.

Kirkland: Charlie makes me a better man. I love her so much.

Grant: If you love her son, then you’ll tell her what you did in Genoa City…and you’ll also tell her about Scott Granger.

Kirkland: Yeah because you know how to have a great marriage.

Grant: Son I don’t want you to make the same mistakes that I did.

Kirkland: Charlie is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Grant makes a phone call.

Grant: Has Kirkland Harrison conceded his votes? Okay thank you.

Grant turns to Kirkland.

Grant (sighs): Well…If this is really what you want, then I won’t stand in your way.

Grant goes over to the safe, gets the flash drive, and gives it to Kirkland.

Kirkland: This is everything?

Grant: This is all I’ve got.

Kirkland: Thank you.

Kirkland walks toward the front door…and stops.

Kirkland: I forgive you.

Grant (shocked): What did you say?

Kirkland (turning around): I forgive you…for everything that happened when I was younger.

Grant: You…you don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear that from you.

They embrace.

Grant: I love you son. No politics will ever change that.

Kirkland: I love you, too dad.

Iris: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Rachel: Did you kill him?

Iris: I don’t know what you’re saying. You’re getting crazy in your old age. I had nothing to do with Reginald’s murder.

Rachel: He did help you take over Cory Publishing. Maybe you wanted him out of the way because he knows something.

Iris: It’s not Cory Publishing anymore. It’s Cory Productions.

Rachel: You really think you’ve won haven’t you?

Iris: I’ve got the prize. Why would I have wanted Reginald to die?

Rachel: Only you can answer that question.

Iris: I didn’t kill Reginald, but you…you are the perfect suspect. You have all the motive in the world, and you deserve to be locked up like the animal you are.

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

Janice has her right hand in her jacket pocket and sees Frankie on her cell phone with Cass.

Cass: I wanted to know if you wanted to ride together to Christy's parole hearing tomorrow.

Frankie: Sure. Why not?

Cass: I'm gonna need someone to drive. I'm gonna be up for most of the night arranging Rachel's bail.

Frankie: Of course. I'll take the wheel.

Cass: Thank you.

Frankie: Of course.

Janice tries to duck back inside but as Frankie hangs up her cell phone, she turns around catches Janice, and confronts her.

Frankie: Aunt Sharlene? It’s good to see you. I’ve been looking all over for you. Have you gotten any of my messages?

Janice: I’m sorry I…haven’t checked them.

Frankie: What are you doing here?

Janice flashes back to injecting poison in the liquor bottle in the living room, and then she puts the needle in her right pocket.

Janice: I came to see…if your brother needed anything.

Frankie: Cory?

Janice: Yes, but he’s not here.

Frankie: You know why don’t you come with me down to the station. I’m sure Rachel could use your support. We could ride down together.

Janice: You know what I left something inside.

Frankie: I’ll wait out here.

Suddenly, Janice cracks a vase over Frankie’s head and knocks her unconscious.
