EPISODE 51




This episode begins where the previous one left off.

SCENE ONE

(The scene is THE JASMINE GARDEN. Grant and Cecile are at their favorite table, waiting to be served. Jamie, Steven, and Kirkland walk in. They do not notice Grant and Cecile.)

JAMIE: I think you guys could use a good meal before we go over to the hospital.

STEVEN: We sure could.

(They pass Grant and Cecile's table without noticing them; Grant turns around.)

GRANT: Kirkland!

JAMIE: (coldly) Hello, Grant.

KIRKLAND: Hi, Da, uh Gra... you know, I'm not sure what I should call you.

GRANT: Why not "Dad" or "Father"?

KIRKLAND: (bitterly) Some father. You let me think you were dead!

GRANT: I know, but

KIRKLAND: And then, even after Mom died, you didn't let me know you were alive.

GRANT: Not at first, and that was unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable. But when I realized what I had lost, I

STEVEN: You what?

GRANT: Kirkland, please believe me. When I realized how much I had lost, I did everything I could to get in touch with you.

KIRKLAND: Why should I believe you?

CECILE: Because it's true.

KIRKLAND: Who are you?

JAMIE: Cecile de Poulignac. (thinks)This is no time to correct his manners.

CECILE: And for awhile, I was Cecile Frame.

STEVEN: You mean?

JAMIE: Yes. Cecile and I were married, once upon a time.

GRANT: (thinking)I never knew that!

STEVEN: You never said anything about it.

KIRKLAND: Is there anything else you didn't tell me?

JAMIE: Like what, Kirkland?

KIRKLAND: Are Steven and I really brothers, or is she his real mother?

JAMIE: I think we'd better eat someplace else.
FADE OUT



SCENE TWO

THE NEXT DAY

(The scene shifts to a supermarket. Paulina is pushing a full cart to the checkout counters. She is confronted by the latest issue of THE SIZZLER, which has the following headline
POLICE CAPTAIN'S SISTER AN ONLINE PORN STAR!!!!,
and a photo of Sofia.)

PAULINA: (thinking)What the Hell is this?

(Takes copy of paper, opens it, gasps)Oh, my God!
FADE OUT



SCENE THREE

AT THE SAME TIME

(The scene shifts to Joe's office at the 2-3. Joe is inside, glaring at a copy of THE SIZZLER.)

JOE: Believe me, Bambina, I'm going to find out who did this to you, and I swear to God, they're going to pay.
FADE OUT



SCENE FOUR

SEVERAL HOURS LATER

(The scene shifts to The Harbor Club. Grant and Cecile are at a table, facing each other.)

CECILE: This place is lovely.

GRANT: Yes. I used to own it.

CECILE: Is that why you wanted to take me here? Nostalgia?

GRANT: No, not at all. I wanted to come here because it is more elegant than The Jasmine Garden, and I felt that we needed an elegant setting.

CECILE: An elegant setting? Why?

GRANT: Yes, because I have a question, a very important question, to ask you.

CECILE: (thinks)I have a feeling I know what it is. Yes, Grant? What do you want to ask me?

GRANT: Cecile, will you marry me?

CECILE: (thinks)I knew it. Will I what?

GRANT: Will you marry me? After all, we've been seeing each other for quite some time now, and we're certainly compatible.

CECILE: (calmly)No.

GRANT: No?

CECILE: No, I will not marry you. Face it, Grant, the only reason you are even considering marriage is that you plan to fight Jamie for custody of Kirkland, and you feel that you'd have a better chance of winning if you were married.
FADE OUT



SCENE FIVE

The scene shifts to the living room of the Carlino home. Joe and Sofia are on the sofa. There is a copy of THE SIZZLER on the coffee table.)

JOE: Don't worry, Sof. Nobody who really knows you will ever believe that you posed for those pictures.

SOFIA: But

JOE: But it's your face on those photos? So what? So some creep put your face with someone else's body. And believe me, I'm gonna find out who it was, and

SOFIA: Joey, I have to tell you something.
FADE OUT



SCENE SIX

(The scene shifts to Cindy's home. Cindy is talking on the phone>)

CINDY: Isn't this rather sudden?(pause)Well, that's true; we have had some good times lately, but what about (Pause) You really broke it off? (Pause) Yes. (pause) You heard me. Yes, Grant, I will marry you again.
FADE OUT



SCENE SEVEN

(The scene shifts to the Lucky Lady. Etta Mae and Toni are at a table, drinking coffee and talking.)

ETTA MAE: Joe has to be livid about those photos.

TONI: That's an understatement. Whoever tipped off THE SIZZLER has replaced Grant as Joe's most-hated person.

ETTA MAE: Are you sure it wasn't Grant?

TONI: I don't think Grant even knew about that website, because if he did, he would have used the information to blackmail Joe.
FADE OUT



SCENE EIGHT: CLOSING SCENE

The scene shifts to the living room of the Carlino home. Joe and Sofia are on the sofa.)

JOE: Sofia, why didn't you tell me about this Brad creep?

SOFIA: I couldn't.

JOE: Why not? I would've put a stop to him.

SOFIA: (unthinkingly) That's what Josie said.

JOE: (surprised) Josie knew about it?

SOFIA: Yes, but I begged her not to say anything.

JOE: You know, I've been so upset, I never really read that article. (Picks up SIZZLER, opens, reads.) Oh, no!

SOFIA: What's wrong?

JOE: It's worse than we thought. They printed the URL for that website.

SOFIA: (bitterly) Well, if I wasn't an online porn star before, I will be now.

JOE: Don't worry, Bambina. Somehow, we're going to fix this. (Continues reading.) This information was given to us by... continued on page thirty-six (flips pages, gasps) Detective First Class Josie Sinclair.
