Daily Updates

Port Charles Update for Friday, 19-Nov-1999

[Scene 1: Nighttime, outside a warehouse.]
Lt. Taggert is arguing with Scott, while Kevin watches. Scott is wearing an unzipped light brown leather jacket, with a white shirt underneath, and jeans. Kevin is wearing a dark brown jacket and a blue shirt, with light brown pants. Taggert is wearing a beige overcoat with a white turtleneck sweater, and jeans. All three men have goatees.

Taggert: "Scott, you were the one who was saying that Bordisso was making this too easy."
Scott: "Well, so what? What are we going to do- stand around here waiting for your guys to get things together here? I'm going in there- my father's in there."
Taggert: "No!"
Kevin intervenes, soothingly. "Look, he's right," he says, indicating Scott. "What if something goes down in there- I can negotiate."
Taggert: "Nothing is going down in there. You got that? We wait." He walks away, to talk with two uniformed cops, in the background.

Scott puts his right leg on a nearby barrel, and pulls up his trouser leg so that only Kevin can see. Tucked into Scott's sock is a small handgun, which he taps with his left hand. Kevin stares at it, then the door, and nods slightly. Scott nods in return. Scott softly motions to Kevin: "Let's go." Taggert calls to them twice, but they ignore him, bursting through the warehouse door, followed by a protesting Taggert.

[Scene switches to the inside of the warehouse.]
Across the room the man (from the end of Thursday's episode) is lying face-up in rags, motionless. He is wearing an extremely wrinkled suit, and a hat is partly covering his face.
Taggert immediately stops protesting. He turns and heads out, saying, "I'll call an ambulance," on his way out. Scott calls after him, "Yeah, make it fast," but without taking his eyes from the figure. Scott asks Kevin, who is checking Lee's vitals, "Anything?" but Kevin doesn't respond. Scott, more desperately, demands, "Is he still alive?"


[Scene 2: Nighttime, in the Bordisso family burial plot.]
A large tombstone is engraved "Beloved Infant Bordisso April 8, 1989", with "Bordisso" centered in the middle, in large letters. A baby cherub with wings spread sits atop the tombstone. Other graves are present, including a large obelisk with "Bordisso" engraved on the base. Eve enters, carrying a handbag in her right hand, with slightly disheveled hair. She is wearing a pink suit with a dark blouse underneath, and a beaded necklace. She approaches the tomb.

Eve, trembling, calls softly, "Hello, little one. It's been a long time." Eve's voice is tinged with sadness, and she is barely managing to hold back tears. "I've been looking for you forever- I guess I was just looking for you in the wrong places." A slight smile crosses Eve's face, and she forces a positive tone, and a weak laugh. "Not that this is so bad- I man look at this great view! You got the sun in the morning, and the moon at night."
As Eve is saying this, she crosses to the large tombstone and kneels next to the cherub, looking at the sky, the surroundings, and finally, a bit dazed, she stares at the tombstone.

Eve laughs weakly again. "Ah, but you're a kid. What do you care about a view, huh? You'd probably much rather be inside playing video games, or lost in a really good book, or…" returning to her original tone of sadness, "…or driving you nuts when I tried to give you too much advice." Eve starts to weep. [Sad music starts playing in the background] "But I guess we'll never know, will we? All the things you could've been… if I hadn't let you slip away." Tears are now running down Eve's face. "But no matter how you turned out, you would've been the best: My son- the star."
[The music trails for a moment, ending at the start of the next scene.]


[Scene 3: Lighthouse living room.]
Lucy is sitting in the middle of a couch, Christina at the left end. With her left hand, Lucy is playing with Christina. Lucy is wearing a brown sweater, loose red pants, and her hair is elaborately done up, held in place by a headband decorated with a several diamonds. She is also wearing a pair of dangling earrings. Christina is wearing a yellow turtleneck and footsied-pajamas. A bowl of apples and the salt & pepper chess set is on the glass table in front of them, along with a white cordless telephone. The phone rings, and Lucy picks it up with her right hand. She asks with a slight tremble: "Scott, is that you?"

[Scene switches to DV. Only his upper body is visible.]
DV is in a darkened room, holding a cell phone in his right hand. He is wearing a grey shirt with a black jacket, with the top buttons unbuttoned. His hair is cut very close to his scalp, and his mustache & beard look slightly ragged.

DV mockingly: "No, no, no, no- not Scott."
[Scene returns to Lucy. (The rest of Scene 3 switches back and forth between Lucy and DV, focusing on who is speaking.)]
Lucy is even more worried, and her voice is trembling badly now. "DV, what have you done! Where's Lee?"
DV: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Lucy retorts, "Oh, yes, and you expect me to believe that, right?"
DV: "That fire in your voice, Lucy… it gets me every time. If only you'd given us a chance. Of course, If I'd really wanted you, you would've been mine."
Lucy: "You just think it's that simple that you can get whatever you want. Let me tell you something: There are some things that you can just never, ever have."
DV: "Oh, yes. Well, that may hold true for you as well… Christina, for example."

"No. No, I have her," Lucy stammers. She looks at Christina, and recovers a little of her boldness. "I have her now, and there's nothing you can do to take her away from me." Lucy smiles down at Christina.
DV even more smugly, almost to the point of sneering, claims, "I won't have to. Christina's real mother will save me the trouble." Lucy's smile disappears, and she is at a complete loss for words.

[Fade to theme music, then facial credits.]

[Scene 4: Continuation of previous scene, still alternating based on whether Lucy or DV is speaking.]
Lucy switches the phone to her left ear, and picks up and cradles Christina in her right arm. Stammering, she accuses DV: "You're just doing this because you're upset that we destroyed your precious, precious psychic projection project."
DV: "I can always start over, but what are you going to do when Christina's gone, huh? Live on your precious memories?"
Lucy tries to regain self-control, but her voice is full of bluster. "DV, you're just trying to scare me, and the fact is, the mother, supposedly, that you know would be charged with abandonment- and no judge would ever turn Christina over to her."
DV, if at all possible, gets even more smug. "Ah, but you see, he didn't have all the facts. When he does, he'll reverse his decision."
"No, no, I know what you're doing…" Lucy stammers. She regains her composure, "This is just a game, isn't it? It's a big game. It's one of your goodbye gifts to me. Some precious lie to try and make me very frightened."
"Lie?" DV replies, almost sounding insulted. "If I haven't found Christina's mother, how is it I can describe the baby's birthmark?"
Lucy pauses, and looks at Christina. "You can't."
DV: "Don't they call it an angel's kiss? That tiny little red mark at the nape of her neck?"
Lucy: "You… you saw it in a photograph."
DV: "No, you know as well as I it would never show in a photograph. No, If I were you Lucy, I'd start packing Christina's little things." He abruptly hangs up, smiling to himself.
Lucy is still hysterical. "No. Bordisso, you wait." She holds back a sob, and continues shouting into the phone. "Wait right there! You aren't going to do this to me. You hear me! You are not going to do this!"


[Scene 5: Continuation of scene 2, in the Bordisso family burial plot.]
Eve is still kneeling in front of the tombstone, smiling sadly. "I miss you." She pauses, then starts again. "Do you remember the conversations we used to have before you were born? One kick for yes, two for no. You said no a lot, remember?" Eve gives a little laugh, but it is overshadowed by her sobbing. Eve's voice begins to be slightly hoarse.
[Soft, sentamental music begins.]
"I think you were trying to tell me it was time to change my life. You were saying: 'Mom… Mom… You got me now. You got to be strong.' I heard you. I heard you and I started all over." Slowly, she starts again, "Your very existence saved my life. But I couldn't save yours." Eve sobs heavily, weeping into a tissue. "I'm sorry," she hoarsely whispers.
[Music continues for about a second into the next scene.]


[Scene 6: Continuation of Scene 1, inside the warehouse.]
The hat has been removed, revealing Lee's face with a trial of semi-dried blood from his mouth, and another wound across his forehead. His face is covered in dust. Kevin and Scott are crouched over the Lee's body.
Scott asks Kevin, "You getting anything?"
Kevin's sleeve is rolled up, revealing a watch. Kevin replies, "I have a pulse. It's weak, but it's there." Lee's leg twitches, and he stirs. "Hold on, I think it's coming back."
Scott calls out: "Lee, are you okay? Can you hear me?" Lee groans several times.
Kevin takes charge, speaking in a soothing voice. "Lee? It's Kevin. Don't move. I don't want you to move. You may have a concussion or an injured neck."
Lee gasps: "No, I think I'm all right. I just got beat up a little." He tries to open his eyes, but barely manages to squint.
Scott: "Where's Bordisso?"
Lee: "I don't know. I was blindfolded the whole time."
Scott: "Listen, when I talked to you, you said my name, remember?"
Lee: "Well, yeah… he fired a shot- so you'd think…
Scott cuts him off. "Yeah, that's what's I thought," Scott muttered angrily, "'cause he's a coward- he hasn't the guts to do anything." Scott refocuses on Lee. "I know what a tough old buzzard you are."
Lee: "You got more confidence than I have, son. I thought I was a dead man."
Taggert enters, as a siren is heard in the distance. Scott stands and walks towards him. "Taggert, what do you got?"
Taggert: "We combed the whole area. There's no sign of Bordisso."
Scott: "That doesn't surprise me."

The siren stops, and the sound of an ambulance doors opening and closing are heard. Karen and two paramedics enter, walking past Taggert and Scott. The paramedics are in typical paramedic uniform. Karen is wearing blue jeans, an unzipped blue-hooded sweatshirt, and a short-sleeved shirt with squares of various shades of black, white, and greenish-aqua. Scott surprised, asks, "Karen, what are you doing here?" just as Karen, herself shocked, shouts, "Lee?!" Karen, distracted, quickly replies, "All the residents have to go on ride-alongs with the paramedics." She starts to comfort Scott, but quickly moves towards Lee. Taggert exits.
Kevin quickly stands up and moves out of the way (not even bothering to collect his jacket) Moving to stand beside Scott, Kevin informs Karen on Lee's condition: "Pulse is regular, breathing good, possible concussion."
Karen kneels beside Lee, placing her hand along the side of his head. "I thought you'd seen enough of GH from a hospital bed recently." One of the paramedics measures Lee's vitals.
Lee: "Well, I did too, I guess Bordisso had different ideas."
The paramedic tells Karen: "Blood pressure's 130 over 72, heart rate's 96."
Karen: "Okay, let's get him on a backboard." The same paramedic says, "I'll bring it in."
Karen addresses her father and Kevin. "Okay, we're going to need some room here."
Scott: "All right, Lee you're in good hands."
Lee smiles. "The best."

[Outside the warehouse. A fast-paced/dangerous music starts, and plays until the end of the scene.]
Kevin and Scott leave the warehouse, passing by the paramedic on his way back in.
Outside, there are flashing lights everywhere. Kevin, who left his jacket inside the building, is rubbing his arms to keep warm.
Scott: "Kevin, listen. I'm going to ride with the paramedics, okay. I'll call Lucy and Gail and tell them that Lee's okay."
Kevin: "I'll tell Eve Lee's all right."
Scott: "All right." Scott reflects for a second. "He's okay, but, you know, he's not really okay. He's a target, just like everyone else that's close to me."
Kevin: "That's not your fault, Scott."
Scott: "That doesn't make any difference, you know. Bordisso could've killed my father tonight."
Kevin: "But he didn't."
Scott: "Yeah. Well, he has a sick mind. He's probably figuring out some other way to hurt me. But what? What's worse than this?"
[Fade to commercial]

[Scene 7: A crypt (the room DV was speaking from in Scenes 3 & 4)]
The crypt is very spartan. Four pillars support the room, and a small decorative staircase leads out. Individual tombs of two sizes are neatly sealed on the other three walls. DV is pacing back and forth, while talking on his phone. His left hand holds his black cell phone- in his right, he is brandishing a pistol. A large ring is on the fourth finger of his right hand, and the rest of his outfit is black. Who he is talking to is unknown, but DV's tone is incredulous.

"The whole system shut down?" DV listens, and clicks his gun. His forehead is wrinkled, and he stops pacing. "Well, what about the Cobra personnel?" He listens again, then replies: "Oh… so they all disappeared into the woodwork, eh? No doubt blaming me for the meltdown." DV thinks for a second, and then, with a slight trace of panic entering his voice, asks, "How fast can you liquidate my assets?"
[Dangerous music starts, and continues into the beginning of the next scene.]

The response he receives seems to pleasantly surprise him, and he gives his instructions with a bit more confidence, but still with an edge of urgency. "Well then, as soon as you get it, bring the cash to Lake Forest cemetery. The Baldwins' have a family vault on a rise next to a giant oak. I'll be waiting there. No one will think to look for me here." DV puts away the phone, but still looks concerned. Reassuring himself, he states, "Soon, I'll be back in control of my life."

[Scene 8: Continuation of Scene 5, in the Bordisso family burial plot.]
Eve is still kneeling, and is smiling sadly. In a weepy voice, she continues: "Hopefully, being an angel, you've forgiven me. I did the best I could. I was so afraid of your father. Ugh…" Eve rolls her eyes, then continues "…using that word in connection with DV is…" she pauses to wipe away a tear. "I was afraid he was going to take you away from me, so I had to run. And I ended up not being able to take care of myself… or you." Eve pauses again, then continues, with a very slight trace of regret and anger in her voice. "And then, DV did the worst thing of all: he made you live again, in my hopes, and in my dreams. What do you think a man like that deserves?"
As she asks that question, her pager abruptly goes off. She wipes her eyes, and reaches into her handbag with her right hand (which is still holding the wet tissue) and looks at the pager number. Standing, she apologetically addresses the tombstone: "It's my service. Excuse me."
Eve turns away from the grave and tries to compose herself. She takes her phone from her handbag with her right hand, switching the tissue to her left, but still wipes her eyes.
"Yeah, this is Dr. Lambert. Someone paged me." She listens, then: "Scott wants me to meet him at Lake Forest cemetery? Thank you."
[Sad, tearful music starts, continuing until end of scene.]
Returning to the grave, Eve puts the phone back in her handbag, and holds the tissue with both hands. "Well, speak of the devil. Your father… I mean." She continues, very sorrowfully, "He's being hunted down by a friend of mine, who wants to make sure that DV never hurts anyone else again. And I have to help him. Wish me luck. I'm doing this for both of us." As she leaves, she passes the cherub, and pauses slightly to rub her right hand on its head.

[Scene 9: Lighthouse hall by front door, sometime after Scene 4.]
Lucy is pacing. Aunt Charlene, wearing a blue outfit and a lei around her neck, is watching her. "Oh, honey, I know that look. What are you up to now?"
Lucy angrily replies: "I am trying to come up with a plan to send David Bordisso straight to hell, once and for all!"
Aunt Charlene: "Now watch you language."
Lucy: "Aunt Charlene, this is my life we're talking about. I've dreamed and dreamed of having a family of my own and I have it," her voice takes on a harsher tone, "and I'll be damned if I'm going to let that man take it away form me!"

There is a knock at the front door. Lucy hurries over to the door rubbing her palms together. After quickly looking through the peephole, she opens it, revealing a goon, who is wearing burgundy shirt with six buttons, and a dark leather jacket.
Goon: "A message, Ms. Coe. From the boss."
Lucy: "Scott? Where is he?"
Goon: "His mother's grave, at Lake Forest Cemetery."
Lucy: "His mother? Meg?"
[Fast-faced build-up music starts quietly here, and gradually gets louder until segueing into next scene]
Goon: "I'm suppose to drive you out there as soon as I can."
Lucy: "Oh. All right fine. But someone's going to stay here at the house too, right?" After the goon nods, she adds: "OK, let me just get my coat."
The goon closes the door, after saying, "I'll bring the car around."

Aunt Charlene, who had overheard the conversation, asks Lucy, "You're not going to the cemetery at this hour?"
Lucy: "Yes, I am Aunt Charlene. That's what Scott wants. I can't ignore a message from him." She turns and grabs her coat off of a nearby chair. "Listen, you have got to watch the girls very, very closely OK?"
Aunt Charlene: "Honey, I will!"
Lucy: "Okay, this could be it- this could be what we're hoping for- an end to DV. I'll call OK?"
Aunt Charlene: "All right- but be careful."
Lucy: "I will. Aunt Charlene, just keep an eye on the girls." Lucy repeats it, emphasizing each word. "A very good eye." She leaves, closing the door to the lighthouse behind her.


[Scene 10: The entrance to the Firehouse, sometime after Scene 6.]
Victor lets Kevin in, then shut the door. Victor is wearing a blue, purple, and white striped shirt, and grey pants. Kevin is wearing the jacket that he had removed in the warehouse.
Kevin: "Sorry to interrupt, Victor. Scott said you'd be on his computer."
Victor: "Yes, I'm monitoring the activities of the Cobra project- or what's left of it. They appear to closing up shop. How's Lee?"
Kevin: "Roughed up, but he'll survive. Right now it's Eve I'm worried about, though."
Victor: "Why?"
Kevin: "I was hoping I'd find her here."
Victor: "Well, she was here. I had to tell her what I just learned from the agency. A little over nine years ago, an infant was buried in the Bordisso family plot at Lake Raines."
Kevin: "Her son."
"Has to be," confirms Victor. "She probably went to visit the grave." Kevin immediately heads towards to the door, but Victor gets there first. "Wait, where do you think you're going?"
Kevin: "She shouldn't be there alone, Victor."
Victor explains, paternally: "Monk, if she's going to finally make peace with her son, perhaps she ought to be allowed to do it herself."
Kevin is clearly disappointed. After a moment of silence, he slowly speaks, "I could kill Bordisso for what he's done to her. Making her believe that her son is alive, building up her hopes- just to give himself a chance to crush them." Kevin is gnashing his teeth, and a dangerous edge of anger is entering his voice. "It's times like this I understand why sometimes Ryan would just snap, do something crazy…" Kevin continues, starting to lose control, "…because, I swear, if David Bordisso was standing right in front of me, right now, I would snap."
Victor soothingly replies, "Monk, that's just what he wants: to drag you down to his level."
Kevin snorts at this. "Well, it worked." There is a moment of silence, then Kevin asks, "How do you manage to stay so detached, Victor?"
Victor responds, slowly and calmly: "Don't misunderstand me. I have been angry enough to kill someone several times. [[Sic- I think he means "Several times I have been angry enough to kill someone"- unless he's talking about Katherine Bell ]] But like you and all the other sane people in the world. You don't. You just don't."
Kevin: "Well, everyone has a limit. I may have reached mine." Just then Kevin's pager goes off. He removes it from his right jacket pocket, checks it with his right hand, then returns it to the pocket. He explains to Victor, "It's Scott's security people," while taking out a cell phone from his left pocket his and dialing.
Victor: "It's about time they checked in."
["Good" action music begins, and plays into beginning of next scene.]
Kevin's voice is back in control, without the earlier desperation: "Collins here." He listens for a second, then says, "Baldwin family vault, Lake Forest. I'm on my way. Tell Scott."
Kevin puts his cell phone back in his left pocket while Victor asks, "What's happening?"
Kevin: "I think it has something to do with DV."
Victor: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Kevin: "No, no, no. You stay here and monitor Bordisso's computer. Besides, if there's trouble, we'll need someone on the outside to bring us help." He opens the door and heads out. Victor calls after him:
"Monk, Monk, Monk! Don't let the anger win!"


[Scene 11: 6th floor Nurse's Station, sometime after Scene 6.]
Orderlies and nurses pass by in background. Scott and Gail, who is wearing a checkered suit, are pacing.
Gail stops pacing and turns to Scott. Worriedly, she comments, "You know, a CAT scan just shouldn't take this long."
Scott: "Gail, I spoke to Karen. Lee's OK. He was roughed up by Bordisso's goons pretty good, but he's a tough guy."
Gail wrings her hands. "I know… I just want to see him, that's all."
Scott: "Yeah, but we just have to wait."
Gail smiles, and places her hands on Scott's cheeks. "Thank you, thank you for bring him back to me."
The elevator opens, and Karen wheels Lee out. Lee is in a white polka-dotted hospital gown, with a serious looking bandage wrapped around his upper head. He is wearing his glasses, though. Karen is wearing the same outfit as before, but without the blue-hooded sweatshirt.
Gail, excited, walks towards the pair. "Oh, oh, finally!" she calls, relieved. "Hi darling!" Karen and Lee meet her halfway there.
Lee replies weakly, but much his voice is considerably stronger than before. "Hi." Everybody smiles warmly, as Gail and Lee kiss. Gail grasps the wheelchair back with her left hand, and holds Lee's right hand with her own. Scott pats his parents clasped right hands with his own right hand, then puts his hands in his pockets.

Gail releases her grip slightly. "Oh, Lee, you look terrible."
Lee: "Well, it's nice to see you to dear."
Gail: "Don't act as if nothing happened- you could have been killed!"
Lee: "No, I'm too stubborn."
Karen: "Well, that's for sure." She has her hands on her hips.
Gail smiles. "You act like that and I'm going to begin to think you are okay." She rubs Lee's head with her left hand.
Karen: "Well, he is: a few bumps and bruises and a nasty cut over his head, and a minor concussion."
Scott: "You going to keep him tonight?"
Karen: "Yeah- I've reserved a private suite for him." She puts her left hand on Lee's shoulder, as Scott, with his left hand, pats Gail's shoulder.
Gail addresses Lee: "If you ever scare me like that again, I swear I'm going to take you some desert island and just tie you down."
Lee: "Not so loud, honey we don't want the children getting ideas." All four laugh.
"Well, that's it," announces Karen. "Your mean old doctor says it's time for you to get some rest."
Lee: "Well, I could use some right now."
Scott: "Listen, Lee, I'm sorry that I involved you in this- that I got you in the line of fire. He was after me."
Lee: "Look, it's a father's duty to run interference for his children."
Scott sardonically replies: "Yes, but if you get killed, it defeats the whole purpose."
Lee: "I'm a long way from dead."
Gail: "Shall I take you to your room, sir?" Lee nods, and Gail takes the handles of his wheelchair handles.
Karen: "621."
"Okay," acknowledges Gail. To Lee: "You know, I brought you a danish this morning- cinnamon-raison."
Despairingly, Lee moans, "It went completely to waste? Don't tell me that."
Gail laughs. "Are you kidding? You know what happens when I get nervous."
Lee incredulously asks, "You ate my danish?"
As she wheels him away, Gail promises: "Well, play your cards right and I'll buy you another one tomorrow, okay?"
Lee smiles. "Okay." Karen and Scott watch Gail and Lee leave. Karen is smiling, rubbing her hands together, but Scott seems unsatisfied, with his right hand on hip.
Karen turns to Scott: "You know, he will be okay."
Scott: "Yeah, he's okay. But what's next? Bordisso's going to come after somebody else."
Karen: "Well, we'll just deal with it then." Simultaneously a voice calls on the hospital PA system: "Dr. Wexler, to the OR. Dr. Karen Wexler, to the OR."
Scott quickly responds. "We're not dealing with anything. I'm dealing with it. It's my fight." Hearing the message, he says: "That's you, you got to go."
"Yeah, okay, all right," acknowledges Karen. "Well, I'll talk to you later." Karen brushes back her hair and walks briskly off, past the elevators. As she leaves, Scott's phone rings from inside his pocket. Scott answers it with his right hand.
"Hello?" He listens for a second. "Bordisso's gone where?"
[Sinister music begins, which continues until the end]
Scott seems very surprised, and rapidly replies, "Really? Okay, good. Thanks a lot. Good bye." Returning his cell phone to his pocket, Scott says deliberately to himself: "He's gone to the Baldwin family vault. He's going to say goodbye to my mother- well, he might as well say goodbye to the whole world."
[Fade to commercial]

[Scene 12: The Baldwin family vault, sometime after Scene 7. Eerie music plays.]

A plaque reading "Virginia Francis Baldwin, 1884-1936" is shown. "Baldwin" is large, in all-caps. DV is sitting on the pillar to the right of the staircase at the entrance to the vault. He is staring pensively at the ground, holding his pistol in both hand. A gold bracelet (or possibly a watch) is on his right wrist. DV looks up, sadly. He looks like he has been crying, and is trying to blink back tears. Another tomb is shown near the opposite corner of the vault- this one is labeled "Margaret Baldwin, 1939-1970" Again, the word "Baldwin" is dominant.

DV looks up at Meg's tomb, and slowly stands and walks towards it, turning the pistol over in his hands. He looks like he is about to say something, but looks at the gun, then the tomb. Turning around, he walks back to the pillar where he was sitting and sets the pistol down. He then returns to her tomb, and slowly and sadly begins to speak. "Oh, Meg." He pauses, searching for the right words. "I don't want to leave you again. But if I'm not out of the country soon, I could go back to jail." He leans on wall next to tomb, and begins reflecting. "Like the first time I lost you- when Lloyd Bentley framed me." DV stares down at the ground again, and regretfully and with a trace of bitterness. "Did you ever know that he'd done that? I'm sure you only heard that I was a traitor." He pauses. "I hope you never believed him. No. You couldn't."
He places his right palm over the tomb's plaque, then removes it, and continues talking. "You always knew what was in my heart, even when you didn't approve." He laughs bitterly, then he stares up at ceiling, and sighs. With a tremble in his voice, he plaintively asks, "What's happened to me, Meg?" He looks at ground. "They say that I'm a monster." DV is almost weeping at this point, but continues: "That I lust after only power and money." He looks directly at the grave, briefly, then looks down again. "But all I really wanted was a life with you, a home with you, and children. It was my dream."

[The scene switches to the POV of an unidentified person, accompanied by a sudden hiss in the background music, which goes from sorrowful to dangerous.]
The person looks in the vault and sees Bordisso, who is half-turned away, looking in the direction of Meg's grave. DV continues talking: "But it was all snatched away."
The unidentified person looks down, and sees DV's pistol next to the pillar by the entrance.

[The scene returns to a close-up of DV, who is still speaking.]
"Bentley could have robbed me of anything. Why did he have to take you? God, it hurt."

[The scene returns to the unidentified person's POV.]
The person is wearing black (possibly dark-brown) leather gloves. With his or her right hand, the person picks up the gun, and aims it at DV. Slowly, the person descends the small staircase, while DV continues speaking, unaware of the watcher: "Somebody had to pay." The unidentified person cocks the pistol, which is pointed at DV's heart. The click echoes loudly in the vault. DV, hearing the noise, abruptly turns around, and notices the person. He quickly regains his composure, and speaks to the person in a slightly condescending voice, "So, you found me." DV begins to walk slowly towards the person. "Not that it matters," sneers DV, taking another step. "You don't have the guts to do a damn thing."

[The scene shifts so that is focused entirely on pistol. The music switches to a Friday-teaser-ending]
The pistol loudly fires, producing a small cloud of smoke.

[Fade to black.]
