EPISODE 9 "Loose Ends"

Opening Scene- Ben is pulling up at the complex. He gets out, clutching a bottle of whiskey. He sees France's cat, Phi. They pass an acknowledging glance at each other. The Christmas lights are still up as it is Christmas where things last left off. He notices his lock has been tampered with and he storms inside. He rushes for the bedroom, checks his closet and sees everything is as it should be- his dead wife laying against the wall for him. He holds his head inside his hands and goes to the couch and sits in darkness. He screams once to release his anger and stares at the tampered lock.
A voice emerges from the darkness- A Familiar one from "The Dez". Ben recognizes it right away as Jim. JIM emerges from the hallway holding a silencer in his right hand.
<b>Ben</b>- Jim, how the hell did you find me?
<b>Jim</b>- I've been following you, Ben.
<b>Ben</b>- What the fuck do you mean?
*Jim shoots him in the shoulder with the silencer. Ben gasps and clutches his hand across his shoulder.
<b>Jim</b>- Now, Ben, I have came here tonight for many reasons. One of them is certainly how you've treated me.
<b>Ben</b>- And how is that?
<b>Jim</b>- You've humiliated me, Ben. You've invaded my personal space, bullied me and been an asshole to everyone you come into contact with. That is one good reason.
<b>Ben</b>- You spoke to ME the first time we spoke, Jim, and you know that.
<b>Jim</b>- And I apologized and felt badly about that. But you just haven't been able to let it go, Ben. LEAVE ME ALONE, you twisted pervert.
<b>Ben</b>- What do you mean?
*Jim hits him across the face with the butt of the gun.
<b>Jim</b>- You will stop mocking me, Ben! All you do is use Dez for her guilt and sit around and judge everyone else in the room besides. I hate you and what you stand for. But what I want tonight is ANSWERS! Answers to whatever I ask and whenever I want it.
<b>Ben</b>- I guess you've already flipped shit.
<b>Jim</b>- SHUT UP! My first question for you is WHY? Why do you act the way you do to people?
<b>Ben</b>- Because its who I am.
<b>Jim</b>- Oh but its not. You don't know anything about who you are. Thats why you hate those of us who do.
<b>Ben</b>- What is it you want me to say?
<b>Jim</b>- Do you have ANY feelings? Any at all?
<b>Ben</b>- Of course, you stupid drunk hillbilly. You shot me! Are you prepared to deal with the consequences of that?
<b>Jim</b>- I guess you don't have any. My next question would be "Why in the fuck is there a dead woman in your closet?"
<b>Ben</b>- (touchy) Its none of your goddamn business.
*Jim smacks him in the face with the gun again
<b>Jim</b>- You are sick. You are so seriously sick.
<b>Ben</b>- So is everyone else Jim. There is no such thing as a healthy human being.
<b>Jim</b>- Ever since you nearly choked the life out of me in front of everyone, my life has went straight to hell, Ben. One of my employees saw me there that night. People at work have started to bully me now. BECAUSE OF YOU. The added stress has made me crazy. So much so that my wife of twenty years left me, Ben. My life has went to shit since I met you. Now I have to start all over again and fix it. So I ask you "What would you do Ben?".
<b>Ben</b>- (emotionlessly) I don't know nor care.
<b>Jim</b>- Exactly, Ben. It's sad. SO very sad.
<b>Ben</b>- Everything is sad, Jim. Everything. I have never felt more need from a world in all my fucking days. (changes) NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!
<b>Jim</b>- Can't do that, Ben. I need to harass you like you harassed me. Destroy your hopes and dreams like you did to me.
<b>Ben</b>- Do whatever you wish. You don't know my hopes or dreams or couldn't begin to fathom them.
<b>Jim</b>- Well, answer me one more question, Ben.
<b>Ben</b>- You're the one whose sick, Jim. You and your cowardice.
*Jims eyes raise and he cocks the gun again
<b>Ben</b>- I don't care anymore. Ask your question.
<b>Jim</b>- What are your last words? (aims gun at his head)
<b>Ben</b>- Everything is transparent when you look long enough, Jim.
<b>Jim</b>- I agree. And Fuck You. *Shoots Ben in the neck
*Ben starts spewing blood and falls to the floor. He tries to crawl himself toward the bedroom to get to his beloved. Jim comes up behind him and shoots him in the back three times.
<b>Ben</b>- (staring toward the bedroom) I am coming back to you.
<b>Jim</b>- (Interjecting) No you're not! *Shoots him point blank
*Ben falls to the ground dead. Camera pans to Ben's beloved as we hear Jim in a muffled cry.
**OPENING CREDITS ROLL "Mad World" **

*Greta and Jekyll awake in Greta's bed as the sun rises and the alarm goes off. Greta looks over at the time and shrugs. She gets out of bed naked and walks over and cuts it off and goes back to lay down.

<b>Jekyll</b>- Always a great thing to wake up to in the morning.
<b>Greta</b>- You've only seen it two mornings so far.
<b>Jekyll</b>- I'm speaking for the future tense.
<b>Greta</b>- Presumptious men are certainly the funniest.
<b>Jekyll</b>- You are one hell of a beautiful woman, Greta. You do know that right?
<b>Greta</b>- Of course I do.
<b>Jekyll</b>- I never thought I'd ever have such a sexy view of the mornings.
<b>Greta</b>- Uh-huh. I feel that smoke going up in my ass. (getting into bed)
<b>Jekyll</b>- So, did you enjoy your Christmas? (kisses her neck) You definetly slept like a baby.
<b>Greta</b>- It was a very nice Christmas. (getting serious for just a moment, staring at him) I thought I was going to be a wreck without Em this year. You really helped me get through it without getting hammered and for that, I thank you.
*Jekyll kisses her.
<b>Greta</b>- How was your Christmas?
<b>Jekyll</b>- I got just what I wanted. (smiling like a naughty boy)
<b>Greta</b>- Why dont we take it to the shower? Mommas got things to do today.
<b>Jekyll</b>- Daddy would like that very much. (smiling big)

*France and Sassy are in bed at Sassy's place. Sassy's new cat, Leprecahn, is licking itself on the bed.
<b>France</b>- I feel like the laziest woman in the world this morning. I don't want to move.
<b>Sassy</b>- It's like my ass has been stapled to this mattress. (pause) Or maybe it was the Ambien Demorall cocktail.
<b>France</b>- I am NEVER getting high with your crazy ass again. You had me laughing so hard I nearly pissed myself.
<b>Sassy</b>- I'm sorry but that fucking chicken was the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen on TV.
<b>France</b>- (laughing in spite herself) Maybe it was funny the FIRST three times.
<b>Sassy</b>- You were laughing every time.
<b>France</b>- And I was high as a kite. I would've laughed if terrorists bombed your mattress.
<b>Sassy</b>- You wanna go out for breakfast?
<b>France</b>- I guess. As long as we go together. (winks)
<b>Sassy</b>- (teasingly) You still freaked out?
<b>France</b>- Finding out you were Aunties sister was definetly a shock. I guess what is really important is that she doesn't find out we're together. Something tells me she'd get one of the biggest bugs up her ass she has ever got.
<b>Sassy</b>- My sister can be a bit predictable. I have to admit. But she doesn't have to know. To be honest, I'm more shocked that you are involved with her.
<b>France</b>- Yeah..well
<b>Sassy</b>- What did you do?
<b>France</b>- (slowly) I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
<b>Sassy</b>- Well I hope you know that you can tell me anyhting, France. Anything at all.
<b>France</b>- I'd say give me a kiss.
(They kiss passionately.)

***JD and Natasja are doing yoga in the living room. Natasja is unusually silent.

<b>JD</b>- Nats, you are quieter than Angelito at a border crossing this morning. Talk to me, please.
<b>Natasja</b>- What's to say? I'm fine. I just feel like shit this morning. I had too much to drink.
<b>JD</b>- Why don't I believe you?
<b>Natasja</b>- (flexing a perfect split) I'm stumped. Why?
<b>JD</b>- (changing subject subtly) Me and Ang are going out on a proper date tonight.
<b>Natasja</b>- A proper date? What's that to you? Using a condom?
<b>JD</b>- Natty, what's wrong?
<b>Natasja</b>- FINE! Wanna know what's wrong? I don't trust her. Lets take away the fact that she's a redhead and think about the situation. Suddenly, she's in town. She's very hush hush about why and suddenly she's drudging up old memories of people neither one of you are anymore.
<b>JD</b>- What does that mean?
<b>Natasja</b>- Do I have to spell it out for you, asshole? She's an opportunist.
<b>JD</b>- Ang isn't like that.
<b>Natasja</b>- (with dalliance) Neither was Job. Or so you thought! (changing to bitterness) Your head is too far stuck up your own ass to notice when someone is playing you.
<b>JD</b>- Bullshit. You're just jealous and I must say, Nat, that attribute is attractive on you.
<b>Natasja</b>- (smacks him in the face) Fuck you, JD. I wouldn't be jealous of you if you were a urinal and I was living in a river of piss.
<b>JD</b>- I like it when you abuse me.
<b>Natasja</b>- Listen JD. I am just trying to keep you alert. We're friends- for some crazy ass reason I have to ask myself from time to time- and I don't wanna see you get hurt the way you hurt others.
<b>JD</b>- The way I hurt others?
<b>Natasja</b>- You have to admit you've fucked over some people.
<b>JD</b>- With What? Honesty?
<b>Natasja</b>- (stops the yoga) Honesty. (laughs) Is that what you call it? (starts to walk away) I thought it was fear.
<b>JD</b>- Well, Nats, you know I love you but in this instance, I think you're being a bitch! A hot bitch in those PJ's but a bitch all the same. Ang is someone I loved from long ago and someone I never got over really. I have to see this through. I can take care of myself but I'm going to chalk up this outburst to jealousy and leave it at that.
*Natasja gives him a dirty look
<b>JD</b>- However, you and Angel are my best friends in the world and nothing will change that. And certainly not a lover. The only way I am settling down is if Brad Pitt and Anjelina Jolie are merged genetically into one person and add their salaries together. (smiles)
<b>Natasja</b>- (trying to keep calm) Fuck! You'd be more likely to be their newest adopted Colombian baby.
<b>JD</b>- Incest must be best. You lived around it awhile.
*Natasja slaps him again as he runs. She catches up and grabs him, smacks him, pauses and hugs him.
<b>Natasja</b>- Just be careful is all I'm saying, Juan. I can't believe your birthday is in a few days. Dont think I'm getting you anything, you little bastard.
<b>JD</b>- I'll be fine, silly. My life is full of gifts. *Natty smiles
<b>Natasja</b>- Yeah..thats what people say just before they're destroyed.
<b>JD</b>- I just can't wait to see if Ang remembers.

**Lin walks into a beautiful corporate building named "Ero Exo". As she walks in, she sees a dominatrix getting onto the elevator with an adult man in a babys outfit and a nearly naked man.

<b>Lin</b>- (to the dominatrix) Hold the elevator!
*The dominatrix gives her a dirty look and lets the door close
<b>Lin</b>- Fucking cunt! Now I have to wait till the damn thing comes down again.
* A beautiful, tall Hispanic woman with long black hair appraoches her, wearing high heels and holding a purse with Cher's picture on it.
<b>Lin</b>- Well. we have a few minutes to wait. Its' just on its way up.
<b>Champagne</b>- It does get impatient waiting for things to get up sometimes, doesn't it? (smiles)
<b>Lin</b>- YES! I am here for an interview. How about you?
<b>Champagne</b>- I'm a model.
<b>Lin</b>- I should've known. You're stunning.
<b>Champagne</b>- Well. darling, thanks! Just so there is no confusion, I am one of those models who does know how to think for herself.
<b>Lin</b>- I guess those are a commodity.
<b>Champagne</b>- Oh, baby, you have no idea! (wicked laugh)
*Lin laughs
<b>Champagne</b>- My names Champagne.
<b>Lin</b>- What an elegant name. My name is Lin.
<b>Champagne</b>- Well, nice to meet you, Lin. What job are you applying for?
<b>Lin</b>- I was actually looking to become an independent sales rep here and maybe even branch out with the business I am already in.
<b>Champagne</b>- What business is that?
<b>Lin</b>- Sex toys.
<b>Champagne</b>- (feigning shock with a grin) My, my, Lin, you are a naughty lady.
<b>Lin</b>- Oh, baby, you have no idea! (wicked laugh)

*Ayn and Kaitlyn are checking the mail. Kaitlyn grabs the morning paper. Her eyes become very intent on something.

<b>Kaitlyn</b>- Ayn, check this out!
*Ayn comes over and sees an article in the side column about the death of Rodney Ring. Ayn recognized him as the man her and Kaitlyn killed. The article said "Survived by his wife, Tilda, and her two kids, Matt and Desiree". Ayn looks completely shocked and looks at Kaitlyn, who still looks shocked. It goes on to say "There will be a funeral proceeding today at 2 PM at West Ruths Episcopal".
<b>Ayn</b>- He WAS married! (pause) The fucker had kids.
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- Who probably got the same treatment as you did.
<b>Ayn</b>- Look at his picture! (stares at it in disbelief) They make him look like a fucking saint. This isn't the man we killed.
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- (grabs to her shoulder) Now, Ayn, we dont want to announce it to the neighborhood.
<b>Ayn</b>- Sorry! I just cant get over this shit! I mean- who the fuck was this psycho?
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- I dont know, Ayn. I just don't know.
<b>Ayn</b>- It terrifies me just looking at it.
*They both stare at the picture
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- Well- if you ask me, you found out who he really was and we did the world and his family a favor.
*Ayn keeps staring at the picture.

**Auntie is fixing herself a cup of coffee and adding ALOT of creamer. She stirs it and takes a big drink. She picks up her cell phone and speaks into it "TJ" and the phone shows "RINGING TJ". Tjaman answers on the other end.
<b>Tjaman</b>- Yes, Arlene. What do I owe the pleasure of you trying to track me down for a week?
<b>Auntie</b>- It's time we had another one of those talks, TJ.
<b>Tjaman</b>- What's up?
<b>Auntie</b>- Actually, TJ, you dont want me to ask me that question this time of the morning. You know what a bitch I am in the afternoon and in the evening. WELL, I'm an even bigger bitch in the morning and if I discuss the events of my week in this condition, I'm libel to throw my phone and every piece of furniture in the goddamn place out front and have a bonfire.
<b>Tjaman</b>- Tenacity has always been my favorite quality of yours, Arlene.
<b>Auntie</b>- And here I thought it was all the shit you make me do for you.
<b>Tjaman</b>- Arlene, friends are friends but true friends come with benefits.
<b>Auntie</b>- And what do you call that tall drink of water, Tina?
<b>Tjaman</b>- Half-full.
<b>Auntie</b>- So when can I come in? London Bridge is falling down if you know what I mean.
<b>Tjaman</b>- Any chicken littles I should know about?
<b>Auntie</b>- There may be a cluck or two. I can't find Glenn. Nick and Armaan are dead and Noah has escaped and has a couple of files he shouldn't have.
<b>Tjaman</b>- How did you let this happen?
<b>Auntie</b>- My father was dying and I had some business to take care of.
<b>Tjaman</b>- Excuses. I'll clear my afternoon. See me then. We got to do some damage control.
<b>Auntie</b>- You're telling me! I walk out this fucking house for a few days and Extreme Makeover: HELL Ediditon tranforms my fucking life.
*Tjaman hangs up
*Auntie takes another drink of coffee and turns on "The Price Is Right". She sits down, laughing.

*We see BILLY wandering around in the distance but the focus goes to Marcus and Elm, who are jogging at the park.
<b>Marcus</b>- I'm glad you got me jogging again.
<b>Elm</b>- It's about damn time, dude. You got no motivation.
<b>Marcus</b>- That has to be the most hilarious thing a pothead ever said to me.
<b>Elm</b>- So you seeing that Rach girl again tonight?
<b>Marcus</b>- Yeah. Tonight is the night.
<b>Elm</b>- It's about time you grew some balls. If you aren't feeling it, you aren't feeling it. You think you owe the world something? Fuck that. Too many men waste their lives conforming. If you don't think you're going to love her, man, then let it go. Give the bitch a chance to make her own way.
<b>Marcus</b>- It isn't that easy, alright. You have to remember my stress level is higher from living with you now (in teasing snide)
<b>Elm</b>- (laughs) So is your "Im stoned as a goddamn bone" level. Its went up too, right? (Marcus smiles) Well, I am going to send that "I am surrounded in pussy, motherfucker" level up too before I'm finished with you.
<b>Marcus</b>- I'm sure you will.
<b>Elm</b>- What did you tell Greta last night?
<b>Marcus</b>- I told you NOTHING. Noone suspects a thing.
<b>Elm</b>- You better be careful. I damn sure ain't telling nobody.
<b>Marcus</b>- It's all my fault and I will handle it. I've handled enough in my life..what's a little more?
<b>Elm</b>- I'm glad we're buddies now. I know your shit and you know mine. I'm not used to that at all. I didn't share my stories with the band. They were far too stuck on themselves to listen.
<b>Marcus</b>- Been there. Done that. Lets go to the Dez when we're through.
*They keep jogging and the camera pans to Billy watching like he knows one of them.

***COMMERCIAL***

*Ryan is pulling a big box off a shelf in the closet, shirtless, with Lauryn behind him. He pulls it down, straining.
<b>Ryan</b>- Goddamn this weighs alot.
<b>Lauryn</b>- Well it's my life. You should know it won't be light.
<b>Ryan</b>- So, what is it you want to show me? *Opens up the box
<b>Lauryn</b>- WAIT! (Ryan stalls at opening the box) I want to have a talk first.
<b>Ryan</b>- You're still freaked out about Hell's phone call. I told you she sounded fine. Her and Garrett just wanted to see her Mom again. She swore that you were the one she wanted to live with and that she would never leave Garrett so dont be stressed.
<b>Lauyrn</b>- It's not about that Ryan!
<b>Ryan</b>- Well what is it then? Let me help.
<b>Lauryn</b>- I just think that if we are really going to stay together and have a family together, we need to be completely honest with each other. No holds barred!
<b>Ryan</b>- Of course! You know how important honesty is to me. Kimmy lied to me every day and I wont live that way again. Not that I think you would do that. I trust you, Lauryn, and love you very much.
<b>Lauryn</b>- I know, rye bread! I love you too and trust you as well. Thats why I want to go over the contents of this box before we open it. (she wells up a little)
<b>Ryan</b>- OK. I'm here. Tell me.
<b>Lauryn</b>- (after a pause and the lighting of a cigarette) We are all here for the same reason in essence. Here at Bundy Complex I mean. We all did something that caught up with us. Unfortunately, the wrong people found out about this and now we are all where we are. You told me what you did and I understand that what you did was all you could to protect your family. I also told you I would share everything about my life with you when I was comfortable. When you made me cum for the fourth time last night and you held me in your arms afterward (starts to cry) and you didnt leave like the ones before you and I could feel your heart beating, felt your pulse quickening and I knew. I knew that all of these feelings we've had for a long time are indeed real. This is really happening to me. I don't think it sunk in before and now it has. I have been holding back my secret, Ryan, because it's a nasty one. (very upset) I wanted to be sure you loved me unconditionally first.
<b>Ryan</b>- (interrupting) Honey, if you could still love me and understand what I did, there's nothing you could tell me that would ever change that.
<b>Hailies</b>- (storming in) Hi.
<b>Lauryn</b>- (startled) Hailies, I said GO TO YOUR ROOM. Me and Ryan are having an adult conversation.
<b>Hailies</b>- (laughs lightly) I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you my friend from school stopped by. Can he hang out awhile in my room?
<b>Lauryn</b>- That's fine, Hailies. Please keep everyone out of the room for a little while.
<b>Hailies</b>- Oba and Eugene aren't here.
<b>Ryan</b>- I told them to stay in tonight. They're barely home.
<b>Lauryn</b>- Just leave it be for now. Me and Ryan need to talk.
<b>Hailies</b>- Why you cry? (laughs)
<b>Lauryn</b>- Hailies, leave us be.
<b>Hailies</b>- Ok, Lauryn. (she shuts the door)
<b>Ryan</b>- Are you sure you trust her with another guy in the house right now?
<b>Lauryn</b>- Ryan, Hailies is healing right now. She is not going to be the way she was before. She is getting better. You have to give her time.
<b>Ryan</b>- I know.
<b>Lauryn</b>- Now. I have to tell you something.

**Hailies walks back toward the living room as Alex cries walking beside her with his ear hanging off of his face.

<b>Hailies</b>- (To Alex) Alex, its only a boy from school. It doesn't mean anything. You are still my one true love. Me and you and the baby will be together one day. I promise. I must give him sex to get what I need from him.
**Alex pouts and cuts himself with a scalpel where his heart would be.
**As she walks back in, she sees her friend staring at their movie collection. He has a "Shirtless Z" shirt on
<b>Hailies</b>- Hey, Z. My mom said it was okay for you to hang out.
<b>Z</b>- Awesome! I didn't even have to put on the charm. Moms always believe me no matter what I say. It's these eyes of mine.
<b>Hailies</b>- You do have beautiful eyes. Come with me, I want to show you my bedroom.
<b>Z</b>- That sounds like a place I'd like to see.
<b>Hailies</b>- Right this way. (As she walks, Alex walks beside of her shaking his head. The sounds are of his neck cracking with each shake.)
*They walk into her bedroom. Z notices pictures of her and a girl inside a hospital giving each other rabbit ears and a picture of Alex on the mirror.
<b>Z</b>- Who's the girl in the picture with you?
<b>Hailies</b>- That's my friend, Mary. She'll be coming to visit me soon.
<b>Z</b>- She's pretty.
<b>Hailies</b>- She's a good kisser too. Would you like to kiss me?
<b>Z</b>- Of course I would. *He leans over and kisses her softly.
<b>Hailies</b>- I am so lonely, Z. (Hugs him tight, smiling) I need to be touched.
<b>Z</b>- I can do that for you. *She starts to undress him and he starts to undress her
<b>Hailies</b>- I need to be loved, Z. *She watches Alex rub himself as the crotch of his pants have rotted out
<b>Z</b>- Wont someone hear us?
<b>Hailies</b>- I can turn on the radio. You just take off your pants.
Shame plays on the radio.
*Hailies comes over to him and licks his nipple. She comes back up and kisses him. She bites his lip, drawing a little blood. He kisses her harder, eyes wide. She pushes him to the bed and takes her skirt off and takes down his pants. She gets on top of him and enters him into her. Alex gets up on the bed watching them. She starts off slow, getting faster by the second. She reaches her hands out to Alex and caresses his face, the skin crumpling off into her hand. Z has his eyes closed, looking like he is trying not to cum too fast.
<b>Z</b>- If you were mine, Hailies, you would never be lonely.
<b>Hailies</b>- I am not yours though. *She smiles at Alex and rides him harder and angrier until Ryan can't help himself from cumming, putting his hand over his mouth to muffle his moans.
<b>Alex</b>- I understand now, Hailies. (blows her a kiss)

***QB and Wout are having coffee in the living room.
<b>QB</b>- I can't keep doing this. My nerves are shattered.
<b>Wout</b>- What else are we supposed to do, QB?
<b>QB</b>- We have got to tell somebody about whats been going on. Greta saw her. I trust Greta and I think she'd be someone who can handle this.
<b>Wout</b>- Are you saying I can't?
<b>QB</b>- NO! I am just saying that we need some help.
<b>Wout</b>- Well, what if I think we can handle it just fine?
<b> QB</b>- I'm sure it seems easy when the crazy bitch is sleeping. All she does is scream at rather surprising times and the rest of the time she stares off into space talking about someone else being in the room when noone else is. I don't know about you but I'm about ready to drop her off at the nearest shelter and let them deal with it.
<b>Wout</b>- I told you she said my name one night. She knows something about me and I think if we take some more time to get through to her, we can help her.
<b>QB</b>- How much more time, Wout? We haven't went out but once she came into our lives and you spent that night showing up JD. I need to get out dammit!
<b>Wout</b>- Well how is Greta going to help that?
<b>QB</b>- A fucking babysitter! What do you think?
<b>Wout</b>- Please!
<b>QB</b>- Or a crazy bitch sitter- whatever you fucking prefer. All I know is I need some peace and soon.
<b>Wout</b>- Lower your voice! Do you want to wake her up?
<b>QB</b>- No.
<b>Wout</b>- You brought her here so you need to take some responsibility. Stop running away from everything.
<b>QB</b>- And just what makes you think you know me well enough to make that observation?
<b>Wout</b>- Whatever. I dont want to fight. I am tired of this drama.
<b>QB</b>- (getting up abruptly) ME TOO! I'm going out. (walks out the door and slams it)
*Wout gets up angry and hears Anna moaning in the next room. He runs to her. She stares up at him, pupils dialated, points at him and laughs furiously.
<b>Wout</b>- Shut Up! What do you know, you fucking lunatic? WHAT?? If you don't stop this, I swear to God I will smother you where you lay.
*Anna keeps laughing.

***Angelito walks into Lt. Doll Thomason's office. He notices Cpt. Tracker in another room and makes a snide smile toward him. Cpt. Tracker walks on, flabbergasted.

<b>Lt. Doll</b>- Angelito, I'm glad you could make it.
<b>Angelito</b>- So you have the results on her things. Did you find any DNA?
<b>Lt. Doll</b>- These things indefinetly belong to Jo. We didn't get a trace of any other strange DNA. What we did find is there was some type of struggle was involved here. Someone took these things from Jo and I am going to make it my job to find out who that was. Do you know if she had any enemies?
<b>Angelito</b>- (pauses) She was a wonderful person. She was always a peacemaker. One who didn't deserve to be hurt if she was.
<b>Lt. Doll</b>- Interesting choice of words, Angelito. Are you sure you meant to say "If She was.."
<b>Angelito</b>- What do you mean?
<b>Lt. Doll</b>- I mean we didnt find any strange DNA on her. Only yours.
*Angelito gets a worried look on his face.
<b>Lt. Doll</b>- It is customary to check out your record as you turned in evidence. How well do you know Arlene Jarvis- your landlord? And what can you tell me about Reno, Nevada?
<b>Angelito</b>- I'm not doing this tonight. I wont be treated this way. I loved her. How dare you?
<b>Lt. Doll</b>- Well, you run along if you want to, Angel. I'll drop by in a couple days. I'm very busy tonight anyway.
<b>Angelito</b>- This is ridiculous. I was asking you to help me. *He gets up and storms out as quickly as he came in.
*Lt. Doll walks over to her desk. A picture of Auntie and Tjaman is on it.

***Greta is checking out at the florist with flowers that say "Your Secret Admirer" on them.
<b>Scott</b>- That's gonna be 34.56, Mrs. V.
<b>Greta</b>- Thanks, Scott. Hows things going for ya, anyway?
<b>Scott</b>- Could be better I guess. Caught my fucking boyfriend with some guys dick in him. Through his ass out in a heartbeat.
<b>Greta</b>- Oh, Scott. I'm so sorry. Damn him! And you were just starting to trust him.
<b>Scott</b>- I know. Thats men for you. I definetly wished I wasn't gay sometimes.
<b>Greta</b>- Sometimes I wished I was a lesbian too.
<b>Scott</b>- Oh honey, you're fine. Jekyll couldn't be sweeter. I'm telling you THIS IS FINALLY THE ONE! Now dont let him get away.
<b>Greta</b>- I don't know, Scott. I really am starting to love that guy and that scares me. There's something about him I don't trust.
<b>Scott</b>- Sweetie, you've always had trust issues. Are you sure you aren't just comparing him with others?
<b>Greta</b>- You're right. I guess I just get worried anytime my guard comes down because I don't let it down very often. You can't afford to in this city.
<b>Scott</b>- I think you'll be fine. And by the way, I think it's very romantic what you're doing.
<b>Greta</b>- What do you mean?
<b>Scott</b>- Sending him flowers with "Your Secret Admirer" attached. That kind of romance takes me back to the days when I gave a shit. (laughs)
<b>Greta</b>- (looking guilty) Yeah- I'm sure he'll love them! Take Care Scott and don't worry about that bastard. He'll get his!

Greta leaves the florist shop and walks around the corner into the alley where her car is. She sees all the tires have been slashed. A note has been put under her windshield wiper.
<b>Greta</b>- NOW WHAT? *She reads the note: It says "Whore- Your friend, B"
<b>Greta</b>- That little motherfucker. How in the hell could someone like Adam be friends with someone like that fuck?
*Bradin walks out from behind a garbage can and hits Greta over the head with a pipe, knocking her to the ground.
<b>Bradin</b>- You fucking whore. You're going to get just what you deserve.
*He picks her up and puts her in the car, puts the keys in and drives off.

***JD and Ang are seated at The Chart House. Right Here, Right Now is playing.
<b>JD</b>- I gotta say, Ang, you are looking sexy as hell tonight.
<b>Ang</b>- (in a backless red sparkling dress) Thanks, Juan. You look smashing yourself.
<b>JD</b>- I didn't figure you would grow up to be a girl who dressed up. You always wanted your Barbies to be naked.
<b>Ang</b>- Well, we all change from when we're 7, JD!
<b>JD</b>- Not me. The biggest difference is I have a dick now. *A shocked patron looks over (looking at patron) Well I do. Its nice. Wanna see? *She looks back at her plate
<b>Ang</b>- C'mon. There's more than that.
<b>JD</b>- Well obviously some principles are different. But, overall, I'm still the same Juan Sramientos. The one whose parents ignored him and the one who noone else could understand. But who gives a shit, right? All that matters is I grew up handsomer than they did. *Smiles
<b>Ang</b>- I have to admit when I saw you again at the club...after all these years, it's like all the old feelings were coming back. I was thinking of things I hadn't thought of in so long. And I just thought I'd sing you a song since you looked so unhappy over there with what was her name again?
<b>JD</b>- Natty's her name. But, Ang, I think that song was probably one of the most beautiful moments I ever experienced in my life and I thank you for it always.
<b>Ang</b>- Well it was for you.
*He stands up, walks over to her and kisses her. The lady next to them is still staring. Then he goes and sits back down, smiling at the woman.
<b>JD</b>- So, have you ever eat here before?
<b>Ang</b>- No. Cant say I have. This wasn't here when I lived here.
<b>JD</b>- Alot has changed really. Things are so much more commercial than they were. Ahh.but I guess most things change. It just feels frustrating that I don't really change sometimes.
<b>Ang</b>- I'm so tired of change. All I long for, sometimes, is for something to stay the same. Anything.
<b>JD</b>- That must suck. Hey, Ang, can you order for me? I want the #4. I gotta go pee. *The woman looks over again (To The Woman) You wanna shake it for me, senorita?
*JD walks off laughing.
*Ang looks quite nervous. JD's cell phone text goes off. She picks it up, opens it and hits "OK" hesitating.
<b>Natty</b>- (On text) When you get done with your carrot bitch, come home birthday boy.
*Ang looks at it and erases it.
*JD gets back a few minutes later.
<b>JD</b>- Did you order for us, sexy?
<b>Ang</b>- Yes I did. And that woman is still staring. (half-laughs)
<b>JD</b>- (looking in her direction) Can't say I blame her. The most she probably has to look forward to is a cucumber and a reality dating show. (purposefully laughs)

**Natasja is in the apartment with Angelito.
<b>Natasja</b>- He will probably know what I'm doing.
<b>Angelito</b>- I doubt it. You've never really thrown him a birthday party. He won't be expecting it. Besides he's off being adored. That's all he's thinking about.
<b>Natasja</b>- You're probably right. I just wanted us to have a night with just the three of us again. I don't know about you but I need that.
<b>Angelito</b>- He needs it too. (touches her shoulder) I think sometimes he can be his own worst enemy. But, every now and again, he remembers us when he should.
<b>Natasja</b>- I just don't trust that bitch.
<b>Angelito</b>- She seems harmless enough. Jd will probably just fuck her again and that will be that. Things will go back to normal. You see how long Wout lasted?
<b>Natasja</b>- Somehow I just worry this one will be different. You gotta watch those fucking redheads.
<b>Angelito</b>- Well lets get these balloons set up. God, I dread this.
<b>Natasja</b>- What is up your ass tonight? You seem so uptight.
<b>Angelito</b>- I told you it's nothing. Lets just blow up these balloons. (starts blowing up one)
<b>Natasja</b>- (noticing the size of the balloon) Fucking big enough isn't it?
<b>Angelito</b>- Shit for that puta's ego, there will NEVA be a big enough anything.
*They both laugh jokingly.

***COMMERCIAL

***At The Dez. This Song is playing. Jim is just leaving looking very drunk. QB is also looking sloshed in the corner. Dezzie looks worried as if she is looking around for Ben while talking to BB. Lin and Champagne are talking at a table. Ashley is crying at another table. Kaitlyn walks in. Marcus and Elm are at another table and we see Marcus get up to go talk to Ashley.
<b>Dezzie</b>- Hey, Kaitlyn. What brings you by tonight, darlin?
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- I need a drink. Thats what. (smiles)
<b>BB</b>- I have been wanting to meet you. Dezzie has mentioned you before.
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- I hope favorably.
<b>BB</b>- Yes. She said you were probably the most mysterious beauty that comes in here.
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- Well, thanks Dezzie, though that's hardly true.
<b>BB</b>- And since you live over at Bundy Complex, I have been asking everyone if they have seen Ben. He was supposed to be here tonight to meet me.
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- I don't really talk to Ben.
<b>BB</b>- Why?
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- Motherfucker gives me the creeps. Doesn't he you?
<b>BB</b>- I thought he was sweet.
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- You, my dear, need another drink. A double!

**Marcus comes over to Ash's table
<b>Marcus</b>- Ash, what is it honey?
<b>Ashley</b>- (whispering) I am so worried about getting caught, Marcus. Auntie will kill us for sure.
<b>Marcus</b>- Hold your voice down! We cant let anyone know. We promised, Ashley.

**QB leaves, looking lonely and quite drunk.

**Elm wanders over to the bar.
<b>Elm</b>- Hi there Dez! Looking scrumptious as usual.
<b>Dezzie</b>- Elm, how many have you had tonight?
<b>Elm</b>- Wanna give me a breathalizer and find out?

*Dezzie smiles.

**At Lin and Champagnes table
<b>Lin</b>- I'm so glad you came along with me tonight. I have needed a girls night out.
<b>Champagne</b>- Me too, Lin. I have been wanting to let my hair down for weeks now. And you are about the funnest person I have met in this place.
<b>Lin</b>- Well, thanks. I do my best and California tries to keep up.
<b>Champagne</b>- That's the way you gotta be sometimes.
<b>Lin</b>- So what brought you to this city?
<b>Champagne</b>- You wanna know the truth?
<b>Lin</b>- Oh the truth is always delicious.
<b>Champagne</b>- Revenge.
<b>Lin</b>- Oh this sounds interesting. (does a shot)
<b>Champagne</b>- My ex. She was such a bitch. She screwed me in more ways than I ever thought possible. Bitch was running a drug operation out of my garage and she pawned all my shit one day while I was at work and to for the icing on the shit cake, she had another man in my bed. Well, needless to say, I threw the bitch out and called the cops. She had always said she wanted to live in California. I needed a change and she wasn't getting to California for about 6 to 8 so I said "What would piss her off more?". (smiles)
<b>Lin</b>- Oh, WOW! So you're a lesbian? I have a roommate who is a lesbian as well.
<b>Champagne</b>- I'm not a lesbian.
<b>Lin</b>- Oh, sorry. Bisexual?
<b>Champagne</b>- Yes...in more ways than one. (laughs)
<b>Lin</b>- What do you mean? (taking another shot)
<b>Champagne</b>- Well I'm just going to say it so there will be no surprises. I'm a hermaphrodite!
*Lin spits her shot out by accident right into Champagne's face.

**Greta wakes up in her drivers side near the complex, with her dress torn and she is bleeding from behind and feels groggy as if someone drugged her. She sees a note on the passengers side. She picks it up, freaking out. It says:
"Thought I might treat you like the whore you are!"
She screams to the top of her lungs.


**Scene opens in an abandoned house. Hell wakes up, her arm is bleeding. She looks over and sees Garrett passed out. She doesn't see her mother, Liria, anywhere. She gets up. The room is very small and noone else is in there. She goes over to the door and it is padlocked. There are no windows. She goes over to Garrett and tries to wake him.
**Garrett is dreaming. He is walking through a corridor and hears a muffled baby scream in the distance. He feels the need to run toward it as the halls keep seeming longer. As he runs a minute, he gets near a red door that is burning. He stares at it and hears the babys scream get louder. He approaches the door, seeing his hands are made of flame suddenly. He crouches up to it and flings it open. A baby is burning and decomposing in a cradle pointing at him with it's little hands. Garrett feels his body being engulfed in flames. He begins to hear Hell call "Garrett..Garrett". HE WAKES UP!
<b>Hell</b>- Garrett, are you okay?
<b>Garrett</b>- (slightly spooked) Where the fuck are we?
<b>Hell</b>- I don't know. I got a terrible headache. The last thing I remember is that man picking up the post and hitting you. I fainted at that point.
<b>Garrett</b>- Fucking crazy bitch! How did you ever get to be friends with that sniveling cunt?
<b>Hell</b>- WE WEREN'T FRIENDS! ever.
<b>Garrett</b>- Is that door locked?
<b>Hell</b>- What do you think?
<b>Garrett</b>- I think we need to find something to break the bitch open.
<b>Hell</b>- Look around, Garrett. There isn't anything. We're the only fucking things in here.
<b>Garrett</b>- I got my goddamn fists. When that whore walks in here, I'm gonna fucking deck her and this pissass motherfucker who hit me.
<b>Hell</b>- I'm scared for my Mom. She's not in here.
<b>Garrett</b>- I'm sure she's fine, Helen. (Holds her close) I guess we just have to wait and see what the fucks going down. Let's get by the door so I can clock that bitch one.
<b>Hell</b>- I never dreamed she'd try something like this. I knew she had some serious anger issues but I didn't think she was capable of this.
<b>Garrett</b>- Well, look where we live, Hell. We're in a complex full of crazy people. What do you expect?
<b>Hell</b>- What do you think she's planning to do? Surely she wouldn't kill us.
<b>Garrett</b>- She dont got the sac. It's the other dipshit I'm worried about.
<b>Hell</b>- I am sorry that I'm the reason we're in this mess.
<b>Garrett</b>- (holds her) Hell, baby, you are not the cause of this bitchs mental crisis. She is just jealous of you because you are the only pure person I've ever met on this earth. That is why I will protect you till the ends of the earth. Noone will ever hurt you again. I am not as pure as you so who gives a fuck if they get me? As long as they don't get you.
<b>Hell</b>- Don't say that! Who stopped Armaan before he hurt anyone else? Who has been there for Lauryn the whole time? Who has helped Hailies since she got back? And most of all, who has been there for me when noone else cared? (grabs him, crying) You are a once-in-a-lifetime dream hero for a fucked up girl like me. I don't want to ever be another day without you.
<b>Garrett</b>- (tearing up) I will be here for you, Helen. She wont hurt you! I'll take care of this, I promise.
<b>Hell</b>- You promise?
<b>Garrett</b>- I swear my life on it.
*They embrace close.
*Suddenly the door opens and Noah has a gun to Liria's head whose nose is bleeding profusely.
<b>Noah</b>- You don't want to try no shit, Garrett.
<b>Liv</b>- (coming from behind, looking scared herself, with blood running down her nose) Put your hands behind your back, Garrett.
<b>Garrett</b>- What the fuck did you do to Helen's mom?
<b>Noah</b>- It's none of your goddamn business!
*Garrett hears a baby crying in the background. He puts his hands behind his back and Liv puts cuffs on them.
<b> Noah</b>- That should keep incidents like what happened before from happening.
<b>Garrett</b>- Fuck You! Want you do whatever you two are going to do and stop fucking around!
<b>Noah</b>- Settle down Garrett or I'll blow a hole through Helen so fast you wont have time to miss her!
*Garrett settles angrily.
<b>Liv</b>- Now, in a few minutes, we have to deliver a baby to someone. You will all get instructions on what to do after that. *she looks like she has been crying
<b>Hell</b>- Why are you doing this?
<b>Noah</b>- Because we can. Now I want Helen to wash that baby up nice and clean before we leave and get her whore mother to help. Garrett, you sit your ass in the corner and watch! And make it QUICK! Liv, get the baby.
*Liria looks like she has been beat severely. Liv goes out of the room a moment.
<b>Hell</b>- Who are you?
<b>Noah</b>- It isn't any of your concern.
*Liv comes back into the room with a crying baby and hands it to Helen. Helen takes the baby. Noah shoves a gun into her back and gives Garrett a look. Liria is looking very weak but moves herself along too.
<b>Hell</b>- Mom, are you alright?
<b>Liria</b>- Don't worry about me, honey.
<b>Noah</b>- You got five minutes. I am going to stay here and watch you get that baby nice and clean. He just shit hisself awhile ago so you better get on it. I want this baby smelling like fucking strawberries when you're through. Now, Liv, get in the bedroom and gather the rest of the shit.
<b>Liv</b>- What are you going to do?
*Noah kicks her in the back and to the floor.
<b>Noah</b>- GET IN THE BEDROOM now. We discussed this already and I'm not discussing it again.
<b>Liv</b>- I found the papers and I wanted to..
<b>Noah</b>- GO!
*Liv goes off to the bedroom.
*Hell nervously undiapers the baby.
<b>Noah</b>- Lets get some fucking music going on in here. I don't want to listen to your sniveling anymore.
*He turns on the radio. The commentator says "best of the 80s. heres some elton john". This Song starts playing.
*Hell starts to wash the baby. It looks so dirty. He seems to calm down when Helen starts washing him.
<b>Noah</b>- (to Liv) Just make sure you hurry. TJ will have my ass if we don't.
<b>Liria</b>- (who starts crying) Helen, I used to play this when you were little.
<b>Hell</b>- Mom, for what its worth, I'm sorry I worried you so much.
*Garrett starts eyeing Noah's gun, pretending to be nodding off.
<b>Liria</b>- Helen, I'm the only person who should be apologizing. (she coughs up blood) I should've thrown that alcohol away years ago. It changed me. I looked in the mirror and I didn't know who I was anymore. It was terrifying, darling. All I could do to forget was have another drink. (breaks down crying) I'm so sorry I destroyed your life.
<b>Hell</b>- I know it was alot of pressure Mom. (washing the baby) I am not saying you didn't hurt me. You did. I didn't think you loved me anymore. I panicked I guess. After I already lost Dad because he didn't care about us, I was afraid you were going to become him. That's why I left.
*Garrett tries to move slightly closer to Noah
<b>Liria</b>- Honey, you're my only baby left. I love you with all of my heart and I always will.
<b>Hell</b>- (crying) I love you too.
<b>Liria</b>- I have to apologize to you again though.
<b>Hell</b>- Why Mom? (almost drops the baby but retrieves it)
<b>Liria</b>- I don't think I'm going to make it much longer. I'm dying, honey. I think I've been bleeding in my heart.
<b>Hell</b>- Mom..
<b>Noah</b>- I am sick to death of hearing this.
*Noah shoots Liria in the head. The radio falls off the shelf and into the tub as Helen screams and drops the baby.
*Garrett goes for Noah's gun and kicks his hand, knocking it out.
*Hell grabs her mother, screaming. Garrett sees it all and the baby and screams and punches Noah. He looks for the gun and doesn't see it. He punches Noah in the face with all his might over and over again.
*Suddenly, Liv comes into the room with the gun and shoots Noah point blank screaming. Everyone is screaming at this point. Garretts face is covered in Noah's brains and blood.
<b>Liv</b>- Noone will EVER HIT ME AGAIN! Not you..Not my Mom..NOONE! *She shoots him again and again and turns the gun on herself.
*Garrett tackles Liv as Helen is still screaming and the last bullet goes into the wall.

***COMMERCIAL***

*Greta is in her bedroom and Jekyll is holding her.
<b>Greta</b>- I didn't see the attacker. He raped me, Jekyll.
<b>Jekyll</b>- Goddammit to hell! We're going to the police. I will have his head on a stick.
<b>Greta</b>- Jekyll, you know I can't do that.
<b>Jekyll</b>- WHY? Why won't you let me in? What are you afraid of? Someone has just hurt the woman I love and someones gonna pay.
<b>Greta</b>- Look, Jekyll, I can handle this.
<b>Jekyll</b>- (loudly) I'm gonna kill whoever did this.
<b>Greta</b>- (loudly) STOP SCREAMING! I dont want the whole fucking neighborhood to know. I said I will take care of this. Just go home, OK! Everything is going to be fine.
<b>Jekyll</b>- The hell it will.
<b>Greta</b>- GO HOME! I will call you tomorrow. I wont be leaving the house and I wont be opening the doors but you're freaking me out. Just go for tonight. I love you but just go tonight.
<b>Jekyll</b>- (desperately) Why?
<b>Greta</b>- Look, if you go home tonight, I promise we'll have a dinner tomorrow and we will sort everything out. I will tell you everything you want to know but first- go home! I need some time alone.
<b>Jekyll</b>- Greta, you dont need to be alone!
<b>Greta</b>- JUST GO! If you love me like you say, GO!
*Jekyll, looking very angry and concerned, grabs his shoes and goes.
*Greta looks over at Em's picture
<b>Greta</b>- Em, where the hell are you? (she breaks down crying)

**Ayn walks into The Dez and sees Kaitlyn. Season Of The Witch is playing on the jukebox.
<b>Ayn</b>- I thought I'd find you here. (hands her mail) I grabbed the mail as I came. I can't get the image of his wife and kids out of my head.
<b>Kaitlyn</b>- As you remember that image, Ayn, (whispering) remember what he did to you and what he probably did to them.
<b>Ayn</b>- I know. I just wished I could shake it. I have never been as angry at someone as I was at him that night but once before and I never thought I could feel it again.
<b>Kaitlyn</b> (recognizing the handwriting on the envelope) Ayn, I have to go to the ladies room. I'll be right back. Get us a couple more drinks.
*Ayn walks up toward the bar and sees a familiar face walk in- the wife in the photograph. She stands still in amazement.
<b>Dezzie</b>- (seeing the lady and starts around the counter) Oh my God, Tilda. (she comes around and hugs her) I'm so sorry, honey. (Tilda grabs her and hugs her)
*Kaitlyn walks into the ladies room and opens up the letter.
It reads:
"I'm getting closer to you and when I find you, you will be dead!"
*Kaitlyn lights herself a cigarette and starts laughing and tears the letter to shreds.
*back in the bar..
<b>Ayn</b>- (sits down near Tilda) Can I buy you a drink?
<b>Tilda</b>- I need a few drinks so sure.
<b>Dezzie</b>- All your drinks, Tilda, are on me tonight.
<b>Ayn</b>- And me, Dezzie. I want to help.
<b>Dezzie</b>- Well, thanks Ayn.
*Tilda goes to light herself a cigarette and the lighter wont work. Ayn gets a pack of matches from the counter and strikes one and lights her cigarette.
<b>Dezzie</b>- Honey, if you need anything, let me know and I will drop wherever I am at and be right here.
<b>Ayn</b>- How's that? (sets the matches down)
<b>Tilda</b>- That's great.
<b>Ayn</b>- (empathetically) I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a spouse. I feel for you so much.
<b>Tilda</b>- (takes a drink) Everyone was staring at me as I left, dumbfounded why I would want a drink. I know his mother is talking shit about me at the house. She never liked me. I had to get out. I don't care what anyone thinks.
<b>Dezzie</b>- How are the kids holding up, honey?
<b>Tilda</b>- They're with their grandma. I just couldn't handle it yet. (To Ayn) How will I ever get through this?
<b>Elm</b>- (at other end of bar) Hey Sweet Dezzie..some more jacks and cokes and bring your pretty face over here. (smiling)
<b>Dezzie</b>- Again, Tilda, if you need me.. (kisses her hand)
**Marcus walks over to Elm.
<b>Marcus</b>- Me and Ashley are going to go.
<b>Elm</b>- I'll catch up with you. (eyeing Dezzies ass)
**Marcus takes Ashley outside who is distraught.
<b>Marcus</b>- Ashley, we have to hold it together. We can't keep having scenes like this.
<b>Ashley</b>- What if Auntie finds out where Mark is?
<b>Marcus</b>- She won't, Ashley, if we keep our heads above water. I don't know about you but I think if anyone can help us it's MarkVigil with his connections. As long as everyone thinks he's dead, he is invisible. If we get distraught and tell people in a drunken fervor, things could change.
<b>Ashley</b>- I know. I just miss him, Marcus. I've always loved him.
*Marcus holds her, knowing he loves her too.
*Back in the bar.
<b>Tilda</b>- What is your name?
<b>Ayn</b>- Ayn. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.
<b>Tilda</b>- What you're doing, Ayn, is enough. (drinks a whole drink down) That takes the edge off a little. You know my mom used to say that one day all the loose ends in your life will tie themselves up when you least expect it.
<b>Ayn</b>- (lightly crying) Is your drink good?
<b>Tilda</b>- I guess this was my loose end. The son of a bitch beat me for years. I didn't tell anyone. I made excuses for it. I stopped loving him years ago. I should've gotten out. I was just so afraid, Ayn. What I should have been concerned about was my kids. I prayed to God just last week to help me. I felt so powerless..so weak. He made me a shell of a woman. And I guess God answered my prayer. He tied up my loose ends. (bawls)
*Ayn holds her close and kisses the top of her head.
*Dezzie sees someone coming in hoping its Ben but it isn't!

**JD and Ang are leaving the restaruant laughing.
<b>JD</b>- So do you want to make a night out of it?
<b>Ang</b>- Actually, I wanted to go back to your place first.
<b>JD</b>- The rican whore will be there. (laughing, drunken)
<b>Ang</b>- Well, do you want to catch up or not? (winks)
<b>JD</b>- I understand completely. (wicked grin) But I think you should drive. (laughs)
<b>Ang</b>- Sure thing, Juan.

**Lauryn is taking out a pie.

<b>Lauryn</b>- Ryan, tell Hailies her pie is ready and that her friend needs to go home after that.
<b>Ryan</b>- (imagining images of that box unopened in his head and the moment when it opened but we dont see whats in there) Yes, Lauryn.
*He opens up Hailies door and she is on the computer and Z is asleep on the floor.
<b>Ryan</b>- Hailies, tell your friend he's gotta go after you guys have some pie. It's ready.
<b>Hailies</b>- I will, Ryan. He's all tuckered out anyway. We were doing some yoga. Boys suck at exercise. (laughs)
<b>Ryan</b>- Yeah. I feel like I'm getting out of shape myself. Don't know how you girls do it.
<b>Hailies</b>- And Ryan..
<b>Ryan</b>- Yes, hailies.
<b>Hailies</b>- Maybe its just me or does Lauryn not seem like herself lately?
<b>Ryan</b>- (getting another image of the box) No, Hailies, she's fine. She's just been tired lately.
<b>Hailies</b>- Tired of being sane! (Laughs out loud accidentally waking Z)
<b>Z</b>- (abruptly waking up) What the hell?
<b>Ryan</b>- Hailies, that wasn't very nice. Z, it was nice to meet you but after you guys finish your pie, you gotta get going.
<b>Z</b>- No problem.
<b>Ryan</b>- Hailies said the yoga tuckered you out.
<b>Z</b>- You could say that.
<b>Hailies</b>- When will Oba and Eugene be home?
<b>Ryan</b>- They should've already been home.
<b>Hailies</b>- They need a butt spanking.
*Z half-laughs.
*Ryan looks at him strangely.
<b>Z</b>- Maybe I will just skip the pies.
<b>Ryan</b>- Well see you later..Z.
*Z skips out, still almost laughing.
<b>Ryan</b>- Well, you'll want them while they're hot. *Closes door
<b>Hailies</b>- (looking at Alex) Yes, Alex, I know. Eventually. I can't get rid of them now. We'll get it done soon enough. Eugene said he'd help me and everything. (Alex smiles at her, a worm crawling out of his mouth)

**Oba and Eugene are at the park.
<b>Oba</b>- So what is it you wanted to show me, Eugene? You've been building it up for weeks.
<b>Eugene</b>- I've been feeling you out.
<b>Oba</b>- What do you mean?
<b>Eugene</b>- You told me I'm like a real brother to you. When you say that, do you mean it?
*They both get down to swing..we see a flashback of Eugene swinging with Jo
<b>Oba</b>- I told you I did. Noone has ever been a cooler friend to me than you?
<b>Eugene</b>- How did you feel about Armaan and what we did?
<b>Oba</b>- Now that you bring it up, I can barely sleep at night thinking about it.
<b>Eugene</b>- What is it thats bothering you, Oba?
<b>Oba</b>- I didn't know I could do some of the things I have done lately.
<b>Eugene</b>- It's just like the rabbit, Oba. Death is everywhere. Death will be coming for everyone. Some people are just dirty..dirty all over..like Armaan. Those people deserve to die so they don't hurt others.
<b>Oba</b>- But..what gives us the right to decide?
<b>Eugene</b>- Self-preservation. Isn't that enough? (pause) I'd kill anyone for my little brother Oba if I thought you were in danger.
<b>Oba</b>- You know I'd have your back too. I just can't shake how unbothered you were by the whole ordeal.
<b>Eugene</b>- (trying to save himself) I just don't express things the way others do, Oba. (eyes wander off) I was taught from a very early age that emotions are dirty. They take a perfectly clean person and stuff them up with filth. That's the only way I know how to do things.
<b>Oba</b>- But you're good at showing emotion toward me. We're like brothers!
<b>Eugene</b>- I guess everyone has to start somewhere. *Hears screaming in his mind
<b>Oba</b>- (hugs him) You're my brother, man, no matter what!
<b>Eugene</b>- Well, Then I'm ready to show you something.
*He walks over toward the sewer, stops, turns around, pulls something out of his pocket. The music raises.
<b>Eugene</b>- (has something in his hand) Here, Oba!
*He hands him a friendship bracelet.
<b>Eugene</b>- This is my gift to you for being my brother. That's what I wanted to give you.
<b>Oba</b>- Aww, Eugene, this is awesome man. Where did you get it?
*Eugene flashes to Jo screaming as he pulled it off her hand, beating her with a hammer.
<b>Eugene</b>- I bought it last week. I wanted to wait until today because I wanted it to be here- where we met!
<b>Oba</b>- (noticing someone coming with a flashlight) Who is that?
*We see Lt. Doll coming
<b>Lt. Doll</b>- Hey, who's out here??

**QB stumbles in the apartment. Wout is asleep on the couch. Qb turns off the TV. He stumbles over to the kitchen and takes a big drink of water. He hears what sounds like something in the ceiling.

<b>QB</b>- No, no..you fucking ghostly wankers..(stumbling) You are not ruining my buzz tonight! (laughs)
*A white light comes out of the ceiling and QB sees Anna in an apparition state floating toward him.
<b>QB</b>- What the bloody hell?
*She swoops over to him and goes inside of his mouth. He stumbles over, gets back up with a different mannerism. The CD player comes on itself. Slow starts playing.
*QB walks over and picks up Wout. Wout wakes up.
<b>Wout</b>- Well, look who finally decided to come home.
*QB grabs him and kisses him strong-armed. He pushes him against the couch. Wout goes along.
<b>QB</b>- Take those fucking pants off!
<b>Wout</b>- Yes, sir!
*Wout starts undressing. QB takes off his pants.
<b>QB</b>- Bend that ass over in the air and get it nice and wet for me because I am going to fuck it. And hurry it up, boy.
<b>Wout</b>- Oh Yes, sir. (he gets everything off and spits on his hand and rubs himself) God, I have wanted you to fuck me like this for so long!
<b>QB</b>- (Annas eyes glow inside of his a moment) I know.
*QB charges up and sits Wout on his cock and fucks him roughly, picking him up off the ground. Wout moans in exctasy.

***JD and Ang get back to the complex.

<b>JD</b>- I'm having an awesome time tonight.
<b>Ang</b>- And the nights not over yet. *licks her lips
*inside the apartment
<b>Natasja</b>- When is that jackass getting here?
<b>Angelito</b>- Who knows? He's on Jd time, remember.
<b>Natasja</b>- I just thought he'd come faster after that text.
<b>Angelito</b>- I wonder if you would go to this much trouble to throw me a party.
<b>Natasja</b>- Of course I would.
<b>Angelito</b>- Jd is always the one you liked more though.
<b>Natasja</b>- (in a moment of realization) Angel....
*JD and Ang walk in.
<b>Natasja</b>- (Unhappy to see her) Surprise!
<b>Angelito</b>- Yeah, surprise! (not paying attention)
*Natty sings:
"Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Dear JD
Happy Birthday to you..
<b>Angelito</b>- And a few more.. (blows a party favor)
<b>JD</b>- Oh My God! ( turns to ang) I can't believe you done this!
*Ang lets him hug her not saying anything
<b>Angelito</b>- (to himself) That fuck!
<b>JD</b>- You are so fucking amazing, Ang. These two would never set up something for me like this. I tend to hang around brutally selfish friends. I'm surprised you got her to sing. (drunken) You are one wonderful girl, you know that, Ang. One of a kind.
<b>Natasja</b>- (fed up and trying to hide the wound) Well, there you fucking have it. I gotta go though. I just wanted to say "Happy Birthday". I've got a date.
<b>Angelito</b>- Wait a minute..
<b>Natasja</b>- (sternly at Angelito) NO ANGELITO! I got a date. Enjoy the party. (to Ang) Especially you, Ang. I think you should be throwing all the parties from now on.
<b>JD</b>- Natty, why are you so jealous? It's fucking embarassing. Why don't you stay?
<b>Natasja</b>- Why don't you go jump off a cliff like your father did, you son-of-a-bitch?
<b>JD</b>- What did you say to me?
<b>Natasja</b>- You heard me. (slams door)
*JD starts to cry. Ang hugs him. Angelito leaves also not saying a word.

**Auntie walks over to Bens apartment.
<b>Auntie</b>- Ben, open up! I need your fucking rent. Auntie got some bad fucking news today and you're going to have worse if you don't open this motherfucking door right now! (Knocks louder) OPEN UP YOU FUCKING FREAK! Alright. I'm coming in anyway. (Takes out her key and opens it up and finds Ben dead on the carpet next to his decomposed wife).
<b>Sassy</b>- (Coming outside with France) What's going on?
*France is partially nude.
<b>Auntie</b>- Well..(looks at France and Sassy) No surprises today I guess. (Starts screaming out at the complex) EVERYBODY WAKE THE FUCK UP!! Whoever the hell has got a happy murder hand BETTER CHILL THE FUCK OUT!! (to Sassy) Knock on everyones goddamn door. Meeting tomorrow at my house and bring the other rugmuncher with ya!


**Bradin is pulling up at his house. As he takes the keys out of the ignition, he flashes back to raping Greta's ass and punching her angrily. He comes to looking frightened. He gets out of his car, walks up his porch to the front door. A hand grabs him and a knife is put to his throat.
<b>Bradin</b>- What the fuck?
*Jekyll is the man with the knife to his neck.
<b>Jekyll</b>- I've been watching you, you waste of fucking space! You think you're a big man don't you? Intimidating in your own mind. You don't know intimidating!! I'm a contract killer, Bradin, and you fucked with the wrong girl. She couldn't tell me about you but I already knew. Do you have any last words before I do this world a favor?
*Bradin tries to speak and can't for the fear.
*Jekyll slices his throat open and puts a bag over his head.
Loose Ends closes it out during the ending credits.

Well- its finally here- after a few re-writes!

Hope you like it.

It took alot for me to get this started again after Ben..

I dedicate this to him

AND AS YOU COULD GUESS..ITS DARK!

Holy shit, I will be the first to comment.

Ya'll FAIL.

Thanks Lauryn. I have had a horrible day. Someone stole 200.00 from me and now I am going to have to take out another pawn to pay the rent. All I have wanted today was for someone to comment on this. Two did on TV.Com and you did here and I love you so much for making me smile today.

I am glad you liked it that much. The box will definetly be one of the mysteries of upcoming episodes. I'd like to know how Ryan (Marwash) is doing. I miss him. The Ben death was definetly personal..thats what I wanted to come through more than anything. I'm glad you liked Greta's scenes and France and Sassy made you laugh. What did you think of the Hell/Garrett/Liv/Noah/Liria bit? Glad you loved it. I am not worthy of such wonderful friends like you.

And licks of course..

gonna read now

Jim- SHUT UP! My first question for you is WHY? Why do you act the way you do to people?
Ben- Because its who I am.
Jim- Oh but its not. You don't know anything about who you are. Thats why you hate those of us who do.

nice writing there.

Jim- You are sick. You are so seriously sick.
Ben- So is everyone else Jim. There is no such thing as a healthy human being.


call me crazy, but I really like the Ben character

Jim- Can't do that, Ben. I need to harass you like you harassed me. Destroy your hopes and dreams like you did to me.

Jim- What are your last words? (aims gun at his head)
Ben- Everything is transparent when you look long enough, Jim.
Jim- I agree. And Fuck You. *Shoots Ben in the neck
*Ben starts spewing blood and falls to the floor. He tries to crawl himself toward the bedroom to get to his beloved. Jim comes up behind him and shoots him in the back three times.
Ben- (staring toward the bedroom) I am coming back to you.
Jim- (Interjecting) No you're not! *Shoots him point blank
*Ben falls to the ground dead. Camera pans to Ben's beloved as we hear Jim in a muffled cry.


holy shit. fucking loved that scene.

France- And I was high as a kite. I would've laughed if terrorists bombed your mattress.

***JD and Natasja are doing yoga in the living room.

Sorry but that image just cracks me up

Natasja- A proper date? What's that to you? Using a condom?


Rolz

Natasja- (smacks him in the face) Fuck you, JD. I wouldn't be jealous of you if you were a urinal and I was living in a river of piss.

Natasja- You have to admit you've fucked over some people.
JD- With What? Honesty?

That JD guy is cool

JD- The only way I am settling down is if Brad Pitt and Anjelina Jolie are merged genetically into one person and add their salaries together. (smiles)
Natasja- (trying to keep calm) Fuck! You'd be more likely to be their newest adopted Colombian baby.


*dies*

Natasja- Just be careful is all I'm saying, Juan. I can't believe your birthday is in a few days. Dont think I'm getting you anything, you little bastard.
JD- I'll be fine, silly. My life is full of gifts. *Natty smiles


That is just too cute

JD and Natty are still my favorites

Auntie- I walk out this fucking house for a few days and Extreme Makeover: HELL Ediditon tranforms my fucking life.

^^ I missed Auntie

*Ryan is pulling a big box off a shelf in the closet, shirtless


Wrong Ryan

**Alex pouts and cuts himself with a scalpel where his heart would be.


I love your twistedness

Dead Alex is one of my favorite characters

(As she walks, Alex walks beside of her shaking his head. The sounds are of his neck cracking with each shake.)



see what I mean?
That would look sooo good on tv.

Will I and Hailey or Z ever share a scene?

Great music choice as always

*Wout gets up angry and hears Anna moaning in the next room. He runs to her. She stares up at him, pupils dialated, points at him and laughs furiously.
Wout- Shut Up! What do you know, you fucking lunatic? WHAT?? If you don't stop this, I swear to God I will smother you where you lay.
*Anna keeps laughing.



I hope Anna cuts him open and eats his liver

*Lt. Doll walks over to her desk. A picture of Auntie and Tjaman is on it.
