Scene 1 (At Millennium)

Michelle- Hello Drew.

Drew- Well, hello, newlyweds.

Michelle- ah….Well, Danny was nice enough to drive me over.. so…

Danny- (looking at pager) Yeah, I know Michelle is not too crazy about being chauffeured around by Dietz, so, uh……I gotta…. I gotta go make a phone call, okay, but then could we go get some breakfast, I'm starving.

Michelle- Yes.

Danny- See you later… I'll be right back.

Michelle- Oh….okay. Alright……I have to talk to you. Come here.

Drew- What? What's going on now?

Michelle-Uh…..I can't….Oh…I can't do anything. They're watching me every second.

Drew- What do you want me to do about that?

Michelle- I want you to call the FBI

Drew- Michelle, you did this…. Come on….You just told me to tell them to back off.

Michelle- I know I did…Look, I got some new information. Okay…..look…. I got Danny to tell me about the family business.

Drew- He admitted they're doing something illegal or what?

Michelle- Well, yeah… I mean… I told you that I could do it, right?

Drew- Right…and I'm impressed. I mean obviously he trusts you now.

Michelle- Yeah… I guess.

Drew- He does more than trust you, as a matter of fact. He…uh…he's falling all over you.

Michelle- Well, yeah… He has his moments when he's protective and he's definitely really sweet sometimes… but that doesn't matter because no matter how sweet he is… If I have to hurt him to do this, that's what I have to do because it's the only way out, Drew.

Danny- (On cell phone) I'll bring it… hey… Don't I always come through for you? So, I'll be there soon, just remember, okay… It's our secret.

Michelle- Um.. So Danny told me about some illegal imports that are coming into the country tonight.

Drew- Drugs?

Michelle- No, Cu…Cuban cigars.

Drew- Those are not illegal.

Michelle- Yes, they are.

Drew- They are?

Michelle- They are…Yes, they are, but it doesn't matter because anything…even if its small, the FBI just need something…something that they can…they can use to pressure people into talking about the bigger crimes that they do.

Drew- Like holding you hostage.

Michelle- And murder, and extortion and anything else that Carmen Santos can get her grubby little hands on.

Drew- And Danny too….

Michelle- What?

Drew- Danny…..You know, she goes down, he goes down with her.

Danny- Hey… you guys talking about me.

Michelle- Of course…

Danny- You miss me? (kisses head) Look, something's come up and I gotta take off. Do you want me to take you home first?

Michelle- No… I think I'm going to hang out with Drew for a little bit.

Drew- Don't worry, I'll make sure she takes a cab.

Michelle- Is that okay?

Danny- Uh…yeah… of course….I mean your not my prisoner, you know that. So, I'll just see you later okay?

Michelle- Okay.

Danny- (kisses her cheek) All right, bye.

Michelle- Okay.

Drew- Okay…..Are you sure you want to do this, Michelle?

Michelle- (hesitant) Yes…yes. I have to… I am a prisoner of that house.

Drew- Yeah, you are. But you are starting to have feelings for you jailer, aren't you?

Michelle- Danny……Danny's….

Drew- Danny's what?

Michelle- You know what, no!…This is… this is an act…and you know…you know…you know that I am pretending to like him just so that he'll talk to me…so that he can trust me.

Drew- Right….right. And you don't feel guilty about this at all… you don't feel bad about sending him to jail.

Michelle- Why are you giving me a hard time about this, Drew? Oh, I get it…You think this is about Danny….about Danny and Jesse and once I leave Danny I'm going to go running back to Jesse, right?

Drew- Oh give me a break…give me some more credit here. I am…. All right… I am worried about you.

Michelle- You're worried about me?

Drew- Yes, because I know I'm right about what I see in you and Danny. I know it.

Michelle- Drew….

Drew- Listen, you can't… This is not a great act, okay. I mean, I see the two of you together. I just saw the way you reacted when he kissed you, Michelle. That stupid, ridiculous smile you have on your face every time your with him He's getting to you. Why can't you admit that?

Michelle- All right…all right…. You're right. I mean….ah…. he has his moments when… I forget who he is… I forget his family… and when we're alone, I definitely feel guilty about what I am doing. But the truth is that he is no different from his brother Mick and he just happens to be better at hiding it. Ok! All right, he is different than his brother… or at least he could be if he could get rid of his mother. She's driving me…..Drew, I don't know, I don't know…. I don't know how to do this because it's not like he can chose or he can….he can decide where he's from or who his family is, you know? But its not like I can live like this for the rest of my life. It's him or me, Drew. It really is.

Drew- Okay, I will call the FBI, under one condition.

Michelle- What?

Drew- That you be careful…because if he finds out what your doing, he is going to come after you, no doubt. It's like you said, Michelle, he can't help who he is.

Scene 3 (At the Santos house)

Danny- These are for you…Now, not a word….to anyone, understand? Not a soul. Especially, you know who….I have enough trouble with my mother as it is.

(handing chocolate to grandmother)

Grandmom- Your mother…she doesn't like your new bride, does she?

Danny- How'd you know?

Grandmom- Ha ha… I watch… I listen.

Danny- Oh… I didn't realize it was that obvious.

Grandmom- Actually…Dietz told me.

Danny- Dietz?

Grandmom- Yeah, It was supposed to be expected.

Danny- That's all because of Mick. I don't know what you know, grandmother, but it was an accident. Mick was attacking her. She was just defending herself.

Grandmom- I know that, but ah…your mother is a proud and stubborn woman.

Danny- I know, and she wants to hurt Michelle because of it.

Grandmom- Oh…we won't let that happen.

Danny- I don't know…My mother can be pretty ruthless when it comes to family.

Grandmom- Family….Ha ha. Can I tell you a secret?

Danny- Yeah.

Grandmom- 25 years ago, your father comes to me and announced he wants to marry this loud mouth girl from the neighborhood. Carmen was her name. You know… I was furious.

Danny- You didn't like her.

Grandmom- Well, she was too ambitious… too….

Danny- Aggressive.

Grandmom- Aggressive, yes that's the word, aggressive. And, uh, no I didn't think she could make a good wife.

Danny- Yeah, but you've come to accept her, haven't you?

Grandmom- Your father loved her very much, we made peace. If Michelle treats you right, you mother will come around too, you'll see.

Danny- You know about the FBI raiding the house on my wedding night, don't you?

Grandmom- Yes.

Danny- Well, Mama blames Michelle. She's convinced that she's betraying the family.

Grandmom- What do you think?

Danny- I don't know.

Grandmom- That's not a way to start a marriage. Mistrusting like that.

Danny- I know. I set up a little test for her. I gave her some false information to see if the feds act on it.

Grandmom- And if they do?

Danny- Well, then Mama's right. Michelle's been betraying me.

Grandmom- And if they don't?

Danny- Well…then, I just set a trap for my own wife. I pout the business and my family before my marriage. I don't know..

Grandmom- You are not doing this for the business or for your mother. You are doing this for you because you care about her. I see the way you look at her. I might be old, but I haven't forgotten what that look means.

Danny- So what, you think I shouldn't be testing her? Do you think I should trust my wife?

Grandmom- No, you have to know. No matter how much it hurts, you have to know.

Scene 4- (at the house)

Grandmom- Mira, Lindo….I know all the problems you are having in this marriage. Your mother's vendetta… your brother Mick… but I have a feeling that something strong can come out of this.

Danny- Like you and grandfather?

Grandmother- Ours was an arranged marriage….No, we hardly know each other…but we learned to trust and we learned to love.

Danny- I….I just don't think that Michelle and I are going to get that chance. I mean, ours was not an arranged marriage. We were forced together by circumstance.

Danny- I knew that she didn't love me, she didn't even like me. So…

Grandmother- That has changed, I promise you.

Danny- I don't know… I don't know

Grandmom- And what do you think? How do you feel towards her?

Danny- Me? I don't… I have… I have mixed feelings.

Grandmom- Don't lie to your grandmother. You are in love with this girl!

Danny- I wish I wasn't… I wish I didn't…but you're right…..I'm in love with her… I love her.

Scene 5 (Michelle calls Drew)

Drew- Hello?

Michelle- Drew, Drew… Thank God I got you.

Drew: Michelle, what's wrong?

Michelle- I need you to forget everything that we talked about today.

Drew- Michelle, you have to speak louder, I can't hear you.

Michelle- I can't…just don't contact the FBI, okay?

Drew- Are you all right?

Michelle- Yes, I'm fine… I just… I can't go through with it.

Drew- Why? What happened?

Michelle- I don't have time to explain. I just need you to not call the FBI.

Drew- I already did. I'm sorry. I told the FEDS everything, Michelle.

Michelle- Oh my…. Did they want Danny?

Drew- Let me put it to you this way, the agent that I talked to sounded like he just won the lottery, okay?

Michelle- Oh God, I can't believe this is happening.

Danny- Michelle…..Is there a problem?
