Las Vegas

Sara: Casey, come on! You’ve been in this casino all night. Please, let’s go to our hotel room.

Casey: Sara, I am winning here. We are going to be rich!

Sara: Casey, how much money did you spend?

Casey: Sara…

Sara: How much?!

Casey: I don’t know. But I am staying here, Sara. Until I get all back!

Meg: Maria, you were eavesdropping!

Maria: No, I came to apologize for hugging Ben earlier but I am shocked, Meg! You slept with my brother and you didn’t tell him you were pregnant? That baby could be his!

Meg: How do you know that?

Maria: You just said it to Sara.

Meg: Yes, this baby could be Ricardo’s. And what will you do about it, Maria?

Maria: I am going to call Ricardo right now and tell him.

Maria grabs a phone.

Ricardo is in his new office.

Ricardo: Oh, it’s nice to be in the office again.

Someone knocks.

Ricardo: Come in!

A woman walks in.

Ricardo: Hey, Sam! How was your morning?

Samantha: Awful! I ran into this slut who hates me. We used to work together, but she was fired and now she blames me! Can oyu believe it?

Ricardo: Sorry. (Grins)

Samantha: Ricardo, you told me that you are in good relations with your ex wife.

Ricardo: Yeah.

Samantha: Then why didn’t you say goodbye to her when you left?
(NOTE: Eva La Rue Callahan, who played Maria Santos on AMC, plays Samantha)

Gabi: Antonio, any word on Benjy?

Antonio: No. Maria didn’t call.

Gabi: Should we go there?

Antonio: I don’t know. I think Maria finds us responsible and I don’t think we should go there right now.

Gabi: You’re right. Oh, I wish this nightmare would just end.

Antonio: Yeah.

Antonio kisses Gabi.

Antonio: Gabi, do you ever think about Ricardo?

Ben: Where did she go?

Billy: She’ll be here soon, I hope. If the kidnapper calls and someone else answers… he might think we called the police.

Annie: We did call them!

Billy: But he doesn’t know… yet.

AJ storms in.

AJ: Annie, I want to know what you have on Gregory? Right now!

OPENING CREDITS

COMMERCIAL

Narrator: Meg made love with two men...

Maria: You slept with my brother and you didn’t tell him you were pregnant? That baby could be his!

Ben: Meg, how can I be sure if this baby is mine or Ricardo's?

Narrator: But only one of them is the father of her baby...

Meg: Can we start? Tyus, just say it!

Tyus: OK… (Searches in papers.) Ah! Here it is! Ready? Baby’s father is…

Narrator: In the meantime...

Gregory: Tell me the truth! Tell me now!

Olivia: There is nothing to tell!

Olivia: Ok, Gregory! Cole and I kissed… again!

Narrator: Sunset Beach Forever...

Cole is standing there thinking…

Cole’s voice: Oh, Caitlin! Today is our anniversary and look at us. Apart… Because of that damn Brooke! If she had never come back we would keep Rachel and we would be happy.

Sean: Thinking about Cait, huh?

Cole: Yeah. Today is…

Sean: I know. I’m sorry, Cole. You and Caitlin… you deserve each other and you don’t deserve to be break up like this.

Cole: Well I guess that’s life.

Sean: Yeah… Look if there is anything I can do…

Cole: I know. I look for you, Sean. Thank you.

Sean: Have you seen Caitlin today?

Cole: No. I don’t have strength to go and see her today. I just can't, Sean!

Sean: I understand. Well I am on my way there so do you want me to tell her something…

Cole: Yeah. Just tell her I will be there first thing in the morning tomorrow.

Sean: OK. Anything else?

Cole: No. Thanks, Sean!

Sean just smiles and leaves and Cole stays and watches the sea.

Annie: AJ, I don’t have time to discuss that with you! Benjy has been kidnapped!

AJ: What? Ben, I am sorry. Is there anything…

Ben: No, AJ! Thank you!

AJ: Annie, I don’t think you are too busy now. Come on!

He grabs her arm and takes her out.

Annie: AJ, you are hurting me!

AJ: This is about Liberty Corporation!

Ben (to himself): Liberty?

Ben follows AJ and Annie.

Outside

Annie: Fine! What do you want to know?

Ben comes.

Ben: What does this have to do with Liberty? Annie is not a partner anymore.

AJ: Wrong, Ben! Try again!

Ben: Annie?

Annie: Yes, Ben. We are partners again.

Sara: Casey, please…

Casey: Sara, I will win that money back!

Sara: How much did you spent?

Casey: 7000$!

Sara: Oh my God, Casey… Please, let’s go. You are going to get a debt.

Man: He already has a debt. He has to pay 6000 $.

Sara: Is that true? Is it???!!!

Casey: Yes.

Sara: Oh my God, Casey… how are we going to pay… it’s too much!

Casey: No! We are not paying anything. I am paying.

Sara: Your money is my money now and my money is yours. So we are going to pay, but I wonder how.

Casey: I will borrow money from someone.

Sara: No! I don’t want you to get some loan shark on your neck. I will call mom and dad. They will help us.

Casey: No! No, Sara, don’t call them. Look, I have a friend here and he will loan me some money. Please don’t say anything to your parents or Meg or Ben or anyone!

Sara: Ok, but are you sure you’ll get the money?

Casey: Yes.

Sara: Fine. When you do and you pay your debt here we are leaving. Understand?

Casey: Yeah.

Sara starts to leave.

Casey: Sara!

She turns around and he kisses her.

Casey: Thank you.

Sara just smiles a little and leaves.

Meg hangs up on Maria.

Meg: You are not calling Ricardo!

Maria: Meg, he has a right to know.

Meg: Don’t you think you should go and wait by the phone to see if kidnapper is going to call?

Maria: Ben is there and Billy is there and they will call me if something happens. Now, Meg… as Ricardo’s sister I will call him. Sooner or later, but I will call him and tell him.

Meg: Fine! Call him! Make a bigger mess then it is!

Maria: Meg, does Ben know?

Meg: Yes.

Maria: And what did he say?

Meg: We didn’t talk because Benjy was kidnapped and he had to go.

Maria: I’m sorry.

Meg: No, you’re not. In fact you are probably calling Ricardo so he could be the father of my baby and Ben and I would broke up and you could have Ben. Isn't it, Maria? You are trying to use this so you would get Ben.

Ricardo: Why I didn’t say goodbye? Hard question.

Samantha: You still love her?

Ricardo: I will always feel something for Gabi. But I don’t love her that much anymore.

Samantha: Good! Then I invite you to go on dinner with me.

Ricardo: As a date?

Samantha: Yes, as a date.

Ricardo: Well… ok. But I am working till 7.

Samantha: I am working till 7 to! So I’ll go home and change and you come to my place at 8.

Ricardo: Great. You cook?

Samantha: Sure.

Ricardo: I’ll see you then.

Ricardo and Samantha smile.

Gabi: How can you even ask me that? Of course I think about Ricardo. He was my husband and I am worried about him. But I don’t think about him like a man anymore. I think of him as a friend who needs my help.

Antonio: Really?

Gabi: Yes! Antonio, I told you so many times. I love you now.

Antonio: I love you to.

They kiss.

Carmen: You think they will call?

Billy: Let’s hope. We have this tracer but we still can't catch them. But I am sure next time…

Phone rings.

Billy: Damn! Where is Ben? Ben!

Outside

Ben: Excuse me.

Ben runs in

Ben: Hello?

Voice: Who is this?

Ben: It’s Ben Evans.

Voice: Ben! Benjy’s father… how nice. Or should I say Benjy’s uncle?

Ben: How do you know…

Voice: It doesn’t matter. Where is dear friend of mine…Maria?

Ben: She… she is trying to get some sleep.

Voice: How sweet. Well did you get the money?

Ben: The money?

Billy whispers to Ben: Million dollars!

Ben: Money, yes! I do have it!

Voice: Good. Listen carefully. I want you or Maria… but only you or she no police or her boyfriend Billy. Understand?

Ben: Yes, of course.

Voice: You bring the money to the old warehouse on the exit of Sunset Beach. Know where that is?

Ben: Yes.

Voice: Come at 8 PM. Leave the money in the barrel in the enter and then leave.

Ben: And Benjy?

Voice: Oh yes, Benjy! He will be standing inside.

Ben: How can I know you are not lying?

Voice: You’ll just have to trust me.

Hangs up.

Billy: Good! We have him. He is on this number. So we can look in the phone book where the address is.

Ben: Ok. You heard his conditions.

Billy: Yes.

Carmen: Well he seems to know a lot about Maria’s life. I mean that you are not Benjy’s father and that Billy is dating her.

Billy: Yeah. That’s someone who’s been watching Maria for sometime.

Outside

AJ: What do you have on Gregory?

Annie: I don’t have anything on him. He gave me half of his shares.

AJ: Come on, Annie! Even Benjy wouldn’t believe this. What? Gregory just gave you half of his share? This is a story for little kids, Annie. I want the truth now.

Annie: You are crazy! Maybe Gregory still loves me. I was his wife you know.

AJ: I know. But still… he would give you that. He loves Olivia more then you and he never gave her anything like half of his shares in Liberty Corp. Come on, Annie. You have something that can put Gregory behind bars. What is it?

Annie: Oh, I get it! You want to know so you can use it and Gregory won't be on your way and you can have majority of shares. Isn't it?

Maria: No, Meg, you are wrong. I don’t want Ben. I love Billy. But Ricardo is my brother and I love him and I think he needs to know.

Meg: Maria… I don’t think this baby is Ricardo’s.

Maria: But there is a chance, right?

Meg: Listen…

Maria: There is?!

Meg: Yes.

Maria: Fine, then I’ll call him.

Maria dials.

Meg: Do you know his number?

Maria: Mama knows it. He called her and gave her his number and then mama gave it to me.

Ricardo’s voice: I am not in so just leave a massage and I’ll call you back.

Maria: Ricardo, its Maria. Look I have something to tell you. It’s really important and you need to come to Sunset Beach as soon as possible. Meg is pregnant and the baby could be yours. Bye!

Hangs up.

Meg: So you left him a massage?

Maria: Yes. I am sure, he’ll get it. Now I have to go back home. Are you coming with me?

Meg: No. I’ll take a walk down the pier. I need to think…

Maria: OK.

Maria leaves and soon after Meg leaves to.

Ben: What now?

Billy: Do you really have that money?

Ben: No, not yet, but I’ll have it by tonight.

Billy: You really think you can?

Ben: I will do my best.

Carmen: I will help to! I have some money.

Ben: No, Carmen you don’t have to. I’ll take some corporation money and I’ll get them back later.

Billy: Are you sure?

Ben: Yes. Look I am going to the corporation to see if I can get the money. Can you do me a favor?

Billy: What?

Ben: Don’t tell Maria about the meeting. She’ll want to come and it’s dangerous.

Billy: OK.

Ben leaves, but bumps on Maria on his way.

Maria: Ben, where are you going?

Cole is still walking there and thinking. Meg comes towards him.

Meg: Hey, Cole!

Cole: Meg…

Meg: Thinking about life problems?

Cole: Yeah, something like that.

Meg: You need a company?

Cole: Hmm… sure. So what’s with you?

Meg: Oh… too many problems have come up. I don’t know what to do.

Cole: I know what you mean.

Meg: I heard about Caitlin. I am really sorry. I can imagine how you feel.

Cole: It’s so hard to go on with out her, Meg. So hard. Sometimes I think I can't and I wish to disappear until Caitlin is released and better. I was walking here and I thought… why don’t I just jump? That would solve all my problems.

Meg: Wrong. That would give your family more problems. Cole, can you imagine Caitlin if she finds out you are dead? She would go crazy… I mean more crazy. So killing yourself is not the solution.

Cole: I guess you are right.

Meg: You just have to wait and see… her health will get better. It won't come over night but it will with time.

Cole: Well now we solved my problems, what’s with you? Having trouble in paradise?

Meg: That is definitely not a paradise anymore. Ben and I… we have so many problems. Maria is here, but I guess she is out of the game from now on. Then there is my affair with… well my affair.

Cole: You had an affair? Ouch!

Meg: Yeah, ouch. And now I am pregnant.

Cole: And you think it could be…

Meg: Yeah.

Cole: Oh, Meg…

Cole gives Meg a big hug.

Sara: God… Please don’t let anything happen to Casey. He is such a nice guy and I would die if I lose him. I just got rid of Rae and now this. Please let this friend of his loans him some money.

Casey knocks and walks in.

Man: Well well well… look what the wind blew in… Casey Mitchum!

Casey: Harry… I need your help.

Antonio: You think we should…

Someone knocks on the door.

Antonio: Coming!

Antonio opens the door.

Antonio: Oh my God!

Ben: Maria, Billy told me about the ransom the kidnapper wants so I am going to pick it up.

Maria: Million dollars? How do you plan to pick up that?

Ben: I have some of my own money and I’ll borrow from Liberty cash box and I hope you have some money. Carmen offered but I don’t think I will need her.

Maria: I have but not enough. Not even close!

Ben: Don’t worry. Go inside and I’ll come back later!

Maria: Ok. Thank you.

Ben smiles and leaves. Maria walks into the house.

AJ: So there is something? What do you have on Gregory, Annie?

Annie: Why don’t you ask him?

AJ: He won't tell me and if you don’t tell me now, I’ll make sure you never get Jude back!

Annie: What?

AJ: I know you still want him.

Annie: Yes, I do, but does this mean so much to you?

AJ: Yes! Yes, it does!

Annie: I will tell you if you help me get rid of Brooke.

AJ: Get rid of… in what way? I am not killing anybody.

Annie: No, no, no! Just… do something.

AJ: Fine, I’ll think of something. Now tell me!

Annie: OK. Will you use it against Gregory?

AJ: Just tell me!

Annie: Gregory kidnapped me! When I was missing… he kidnapped me at that time! And now I said I would sue him if he doesn’t give me his shares and he did.

AJ: He kidnapped you? Great!

AJ runs away.

Annie: But, AJ! What about Brooke?! AJ!

Harry: Well you need my help? What a hell are you doing here anyway?

Casey: No time to explain. I need a loan.

Harry: How much?

Casey: 10 000$.

Harry: Big money, Case! Can you return it to me? With the premium, of course.

Casey: Sure! Just give me the money.

Harry: Fine. Give me 10 minutes.

Harry stands up.

Casey: I would like if you don’t mention it to anyone, Harry.

Harry: About you? You think they would remember you or you think it might go on public that nice Mr. Lifeguard use to be a drug dealer and gambler?

Gabi: Antonio, what is it?

Gabi wheels herself to the door.

Gabi: Oh my God…

Antonio: It’s Benjy!

Camera shows Benjy lying on the middle of the road.

Antonio runs to him.

Ricardo walks in his apartment.

Ricardo: Uh… three messages on my answering machine.

Beep…

Carmen’s voice: Ola, Ijo! Just checking how are you… call me when you can. Adios!

Beep…

Samantha’s voice: Hey! Just checking about our arrangement. It is in 8PM, right? Bye!

Beep…

Maria’s voice: Ricardo, its Maria. Look I have something to tell you. It’s really important and you need to come to Sunset Beach as soon as possible. Meg is pregnant and the baby could be yours. Bye!

Ricardo is shocked by that news.

Meg: I’m glad you are fine and back home, mom.

Joan: I am to. I am glad your sister is going out tomorrow.

Meg: Has Jamie received her medicine?

Joan: No, not yet. But Tyus said it should be soon.

Meg: Mom…

Joan: Yes, honey?

Meg: Ben knows.

Joan: Knows? Oh, you mean… how did he find out?

Meg: That’s not important. What’s important is that Maria knows to and she told Ricardo and he is probably on his way back here.

Ricardo walks in his apartment.

Ricardo: Uh… three messages on my answering machine.

Beep…

Carmen’s voice: Hola, Ijo! Just checking how are you… call me when you can. Adios!

Ricardo runs out of the apartment.

Gabi: Is he alight? Antonio!

Antonio: I don’t know! Gabi, call 911!

Gabi goes inside and calls.

Antonio: Come on, Benjy! Let’s see if you are… dead.

Checks his pulse.

Ben storms in.

Ben: Gregory! Gregory!

Olivia: Ben, don’t you knock?

Ben: I’m sorry, Olivia but this is really important. Where is Gregory?

Gregory: I am here. What is it?

Ben: Gregory, I need 900.000 $ from Liberty Corporation.

AJ comes in.

AJ: Hello, Jude.

Jude: AJ! What can I do for you?

AJ: I know something about Gregory Richards that could put him back in jail.

Narrator: Gabi & Antonio's life was peaceful and lovely... Until now!

Gabi: Why can't you give blood for Antonio? Are you sick or what?

Carmen: No, I am not Antonio’s mama!

Narrator: Now...

Gabi: I can't keep this secret from Antonio.

Carmen: You have to!

Narrator: And...

Craig: I remember! My memory is back!

Emily: I want you to come with me to the Deep. Sean and I broke up...

Narrator: Sunset Beach Forever...

Maria: Mama, you don’t have to stay. I’m sure no one will call this night.

Carmen: I want to stay, Hija! I need to know what happens to my grandson.

Maria: Thank you, mama.

Maria hugs Carmen.

Billy: Maria, I think you should take a nap. This has been a hard day for you.

Maria: Yeah. But you promise to call me if something happens?

Billy: Yes.

They kiss and then Maria goes upstairs.

Carmen: I’ll go make some dinner for you, Billy.

Billy: Thank you, Carmen. I am really hungry.

Carmen goes to the kitchen and Annie comes in, angry.

Billy: What happened, Annie? You broke your nail?

Annie: Shut up, Billy! It’s not funny at all!

Billy: Any problems with law?

Annie: It’s none of your business.

Billy: Just ask…

Annie: I wonder when Ben will be back.

Gregory: Ben, are you out of your mind?

Ben: I will get it back! Look, my son has been kidnapped and they want ransom! I could get together with 100.000, but I need more from Liberty. Please, Gregory…

Gregory: Wait, Ben! I am no longer the majority owner of Liberty.

Olivia and Ben both look in shock.

Jude: What did Gregory do now?

AJ: He…

Phone rings.

Jude: Hello? Det. Jude Cavanaugh? What? Are you sure? OK, thanks.

AJ: Can I start now?

Jude: No, I don’t have time. Looks like they found Benjy Evans. I have to go. Bye now!

Jude runs.

AJ: Damn!

Jack: I’ll take him!

Antonio: Jack, is he going be ok?

Jack: I don’t know, yet. Looks like it’s nothing wrong with him.

Antonio: Why isn't he waking up then?

Jack: I don’t know. Look I’ll examine him and then I’ll talk to you.

Gabi: Antonio, don’t you think we should call Maria?

Antonio: Yes. I’ll do it.

Joan: Meg… I don’t understand. How did Maria find out? Did Ben tell her?

Meg: No. Maria heard me talking to Sara about it.

Joan: Oh… and she told Ricardo.

Meg: Yes. She thinks Ricardo should be here in case the baby is his.

Joan: Well she is right, you know.

Meg: I know. But I just don’t want to admit to myself that it’s even possible that Ricardo is the father of my baby.

Ricardo: I am coming, Meg. I have to make sure that I am not the father of your baby. I’m sorry, Samantha. But this is important.

Samantha is sitting alone and waiting for Ricardo.

Waiter: You want to order, miss?

Samantha: I’ll just wait a little wile. He’ll be here soon.

Waiter: OK.

Waiter leaves.

Samantha: Where are you, Ricardo?

Carmen: Well here is your sandwich.

Billy: Thank you very much.

Annie: I need some air.

Billy: You just got back, Annie. You know, I feel some big problems in your life. Especially after that man’s arrival.

Annie: Billy, why don’t you mind your own business?

Annie goes out.

Annie: Damn! If Gregory finds out I told AJ about him being my kidnapper, he’ll kill me!

Inside

Billy: Well this has been awful day.

Carmen: Yes. I hope they get my grandson back soon. Maria is really worried even though Benjy is not her son.

Billy: It’s not?

Carmen: Yes, it’s Ben’s brother’s son. Maria and Ben adopted him after Derek’s death. But Benjy doesn’t know that.

Billy: Yeah, I remember now. She told me about that Derek guy. He killed those people on that island two or three years ago.

Carmen: Yes. It was very painful year.

Billy: Yes…

Phone rings.

Maria runs down the stairs.

Maria: I’ll get it!!!

She answers.

Antonio: Maria? It’s Antonio.

Maria: Oh… hi, Antonio.

Antonio: Look, I have some news. I found Benjy.

Brooke is getting out of bedroom when someone knocks. She opens.

Brooke: Well well… Mr. Deschanel! What do I owe this pleasure?

AJ: This is no pleasure for you, Mrs. Cavanaugh.

Brooke: Oh please, call me Brooke.

AJ: Fine. I came to offer you a deal.

Brooke: A deal?

AJ: Yes. I will pay you as much as you want, just leave the town and leave your daughter with Jude and Annie.

Olivia: Gregory, what are you talking about? You were always the owner of the Liberty.

Gregory: Well I am not anymore.

Ben: Then who is?

Gregory: AJ.

Olivia: AJ? AJ Deschanel? Gregory, how?

Gregory: Annie has half of my shares. Now I have 25%, just like Annie, Ben has 15 and AJ has 30% and Casey has 4% and some others have 1%.

Olivia: That’s awful, Gregory! But why did you give Annie does shares?

Gregory: She is blackmailing me. But it doesn’t matter anymore. I kidnapped Annie and now she is blackmailing me with that.

Olivia: I knew Annie was up to something! That witch! She was always like that. I don’t know how can you be her friend, Ben.

Ben: I will talk to Annie, Gregory. So I need to talk to AJ about the money?

Gregory: Yes.

Ben: OK. I am sorry.

Ben leaves.

Olivia hugs Gregory.

Maria, Carmen and Billy walk in.

Maria: Antonio! Antonio, where is my son?

Antonio: Relax! Jack is checking him right now.

Maria: But is he ok? Did he say something?

Antonio: He was pretty much out of it.

Carmen: What do you mean, Hijo?

Antonio: Benjy was out of conscience.

Maria: My God! I want to see him! Now!

Antonio: No, Maria, you can't! Wait a little wile more.

Maria, Antonio and Carmen go and sit. Billy walks to Jude.

Billy: Anything?

Jude: Nothing. We don’t have anything until Benjy wakes up.

Billy: You think he will know who kidnapped him?

Jude: Maybe. We never know.

Billy: Why would kidnapper let him go until he didn’t receive the money?

Jude: I don’t know. That’s so strange. It’s like someone just wanted to scare Maria.

Billy: Maybe that’s what happened. But who would do that?

Joan: So what are you going to do?

Meg: I’ll call Tyus and he’ll do some tests and we’ll see who the father is. I can't take this anymore. I have to know! And they have to know to.

Joan: Yes. I am sure Ben is eating himself up because of that.

Meg: Yeah. I am so scared. I don’t want Ricardo to be my baby’s father.

Joan: I know. It would be terrible. But you would still have your baby, right? You wouldn’t do an abortion, right Meg?

Meg: How could you even say something like that? No! Of course not!

Joan: Good. No one in our family has ever done something like that.

Meg: And I won't be the first one.

Joan hugs Meg.

Joan: You got yourself in big mess, Meg. But I will be with you all the way.

Meg: Thank you, mom. Oh by the way… Sara and Casey got married.

Brooke: Are you crazy? I won't leave Jude! Never! Did Annie put you on this?

AJ: Yes, but you will say yes. When I say my price.

Brooke: How much do you offer?

AJ: I was thinking…

Annie storms in.

Brooke: OH please do come in, Annie!

Annie: You bitch!

Annie slaps Brooke.

AJ: Annie!

Annie: AJ! You came!

AJ: Like I promised.

Brooke: What a hell was this for?

Annie: I am angry and now I have to get this anger on someone. And since I though AJ wouldn’t do his part of deal I came to express my rage on you.

Brooke: I am honored but please leave. Both… Rachel is sleeping.

AJ: I am not leaving until you hear my offer.

Brooke: Fine. Speak.

AJ: Million dollars.

Olivia: How could that happen, Gregory?

Gregory: I don’t know. Everything is out of control now that Caitlin is gone.

Olivia: Oh, Gregory… you think we should visit her tomorrow?

Gregory: We should… but… could I make it? I wouldn’t be able to leave her there.

Olivia: We have to. Dr. McBride told Cole that it’s for the best.

Gregory: I know. But she will understand one day when she recovers.

Olivia: Yes. And we will all go there tomorrow. You, Sean, me… Cole!

Gregory: I don’t want him to come with us.

Olivia: But…

Gregory: No! He is not coming!

Gabi: Maria, are you OK?

Maria: No, I am not ok, Gabi! My son has been kidnapped and now he is in hospital! Of course I am not fine!

Gabi: I’m sorry. Stupid question.

Maria: No, I am sorry. I didn’t mean to snap like that.

Gabi: It’s ok. You are just nervous.

Maria: Yeah… nervous. Gabi, who could that, be?

Gabi: I don’t know.

Carmen: Hija, Jack is coming!

Maria: Jack, how is my son?!

Jack: Relax, Maria.

Antonio: Why was he out of conscience?

Jack: Calm down and I’ll explain! (Everyone shut up) Thank you. Now… Benjy is fine. He was sedated and that’s why he didn’t wake up. But now he is up and he is fine.

Maria: Thank God! I want to see him!

Billy: Maria, can we come and talk to him?

Maria: Sure! Come on!

Billy, Jude and Maria walk in.

Maria: Benjy!

Benjy: Mommy!

Maria and Benjy hug.

Maria: Where were you? I was so worried!

Benjy: Mommy…

Maria: Benjy, who took you?

Bus

Ricardo: Oh, Meg… I am coming… And then if the baby is mine, you’ll be mine to.

Samantha: Waiter!

Waiter comes.

Samantha: I am leaving. I won't order anything else. Can I please pay?

Waiter: Sure. Here is the check.

Samantha: Ok. Here…

Gives him the money and leaves.

Outside

Samantha: What happened, Ricardo? Why didn’t you come?

Joan: They got married? How? Where? When I was in coma?

Meg: No! No! Last night. They are in Vegas.

Joan: That’s wonderful… but couldn’t they wait and have a big wedding with all of us?

Meg: Well I guess not.

Joan: Well I am glad for Sara. She deserves it. Now we need you father to come home and everything will be fine.

Meg: Yes. Everything…

Joan: Oh I’m sorry. I forgot. I am sure that will be fine to.

Meg: I hope so, mom. I really do.

Ben’s phone rings.

Ben: Hello?

Antonio: Ben! It’s Antonio. Look you don’t have to bring any money.

Ben: Why? What happened?

Antonio: We found Benjy.

Annie: AJ, you would do that for me?

AJ: Shut up, Annie! Take it, Brooke! Come on!

Brooke: No way! AJ, you are such a jerk. With a million dollars I would live for couple of months!

AJ: Then come back, I don’t care! Just do it!

Annie: That wasn’t a deal!

Brooke: Hmm… No! Now get out! Both of you!

AJ: You missed a big chance, Brooke.

Brooke: I don’t care. Leave!

She kicks them both out.

AJ: Well I’ve done my part of deal…

Annie: I’ve done my either.

AJ: No, not exactly. You see… you need to press charges against Gregory to make your part.

Annie: No!

AJ: Yes, Annie. Or that or Brooke will never leave town. So will you press charges?

Billy: Benjy, anything! Do you remember anything?

Benjy: I remember a room. And there was a man.

Maria: A man? What man?

Benjy: And that man looked like my daddy…

Maria: Ben? No… but… Derek???
