SCENE ONE
The scene is Cass Winthrop's law office. Cass and Felicia are talking, and they are furious.
Cass has a letter in his hand. )
FELICIA: Do you believe that Adele du Lac's latest stunt?
CASS: It is pretty low. (Reads letter) Dear Ms. Gallant: This is to inform you
that I have posted messages regarding your plagiarism to various boards. I intend to expose
you for the literary thief you are."
FELICIA: Can she really do that?
CASS: Anybody can send anything to message boards that allow open posting. This is sometimes unfortunate.
FELICIA: And she doesn't even say which boards, so I can't even respond.
CASS: We'll just have to check every board we can find.
FELICIA: That could take weeks.
CASS: (sighs) I know.
FELICIA: And how do we know that she actually posted any messages?
CASS: You are absolutely right. I'm going to write to Ms. du Lac and demand
that she tell us exactly where she has posted her messages.
(Door opens, Gary walks in)
FELICIA: Gary, are you all right?
GARY: No, I'm not all right. I've decided to file for a divorce.

SCENE TWO
(The scene shifts to the squad room at the 2-3. Toni and Josie are talking.)
TONI: Joe wanted me to work on a case, but I turned it down.
JOSIE: You can't keep turning down cases.
TONI: I know, but I just don't feel ready yet.
JOSIE: You've been back for weeks, but it's like you're not back at all.
TONI: I think I'm just scared.
JOSIE: What are you scared of?
TONI: Messing up like I did in Florida.
JOSIE: Forget Florida. If Joe didn't think you could handle police work here,
he wouldn't have asked you back, and you know it.
TONI: Maybe what went down in Florida changed me more than Joe realizes.
JOSIE: Have you told him the whole story?
TONI: I haven't told anybody the whole story.
FADE OUT
SCENE THREE
(The scene shifts to the supermarket. Sofia is in the detergent aisle.
Tito approaches)
TITO: So we meet again.
SOFIA: I told you before, I've got nothing to say to you.
TITO: Could we please just talk for a minute?
SOFIA: What part of "I've got nothing to say to you" don't you understand?
TITO: If you'd just listen for one minute
SOFIA: Give me one good reason why I should.
TITO: Because you are the only person who can help me.
SOFIA: (suspiciously)Why would I want to help you?
TITO: Because I want to make amends for what I did to your family.
SOFIA: Give me one reason why I should believe you.
TITO: Well, you see, I met a priest while I was in prison, and
FADE OUT
SCENE FOUR
(The scene shifts to Cass Winthrop's law office.)
FELICIA: Gary, I really think you're making a mistake.
GARY: Look, Felicia, I know you're my A.A. sponsor, but
FELICIA: I'm also your friend.
GARY: But you are not my attorney.
CASS: I really would rather not handle this case. After all, you and Josie are both
friends of mine.
GARY: I know, but I don't want some stranger handling this.
CASS: I'll take this case on one condition.
GARY: What?
CASS: That you hold off for six weeks. See if you and Josie can't work things out.
GARY: I've held off long enough already.
CASS: Six weeks, or you'll have to find another attorney.
GARY: Well, I guess I can wait six weeks.
CASS: Then it's settled.
FELICIA: (to Gary) Why don't we go to a meeting?
(They say their goodbyes to Cass, and leave. Phone rings, Cass lifts receiver)

CASS: Hello? Hello? Who is this?
FADE OUT
SCENE FIVE
(The scene shifts to the 2-3. Toni and Josie are still talking.)
TONI: So let's talk about you. How are you feeling?
JOSIE: It's funny. I don't feel the way I did the other times I was pregnant.
TONI: Maybe it's the stress from everything else you've been going through. What does
your doctor say?
JOSIE: I (Joe walks in while Josie is speaking) haven't been to a doctor.
JOE: Did I hear you right, Josie? Did you say you haven't been to a doctor?
JOSIE: No, sir, I haven't.
JOE: Well, that's something you need to take care of right away.
JOSIE: I know. It's just that I don't want to go alone, and Gary, well...
JOE: I understand. Wait, I have an idea, but first I have to make a phone call.
(goes into office.)
TONI: Do you think he's making an appointment for you?
(Joe comes back into the squad room.)
JOE: Josie, I just talked with Paulina. She said she'll be glad to
take you to her OBGYN.
JOSIE: I really appreciate it, but she doesn't have to do that for me.
JOE: Maybe not, but she wants to. Now, there's a case I want to put you two on.
FADE OUT
SCENE SIX: CLOSING SCENE
(The scene shifts to an undisclosed location. Grant and Tito are talking.)
GRANT: So you did better this time?
TITO: I think so. I told Sofia that I met a priest while I was in prison.
GRANT: Ah, the religious angle.
TITO: I figured it was my best shot with her.
GRANT: How religious does she think you are?
TITO: She thinks I was baptized in prison.
GRANT: That may have been too much, too soon.
TITO: What do you mean?
GRANT: Now you have to act like a good Catholic, so she doesn't get suspicious.
TITO: This isn't going to be easy. Why can't I just tell Sofia and everybody else who I really am?
GRANT: I told you before, the truth will come out when I decide the time is right.
