Robert Scott Wilson as Pete Cortlandt

PETE
(on his cell phone)
Yeah I wanted that report yesterday.  Okay fine.  Just make sure you have it first thing in the morning.

CASSANDRA FOSTER WALKS IN, AND PEOPLE LOOK AT HER AND START WHISPERING.  PETE ALSO LOOKS AT HER. CASSANDRA GATHERS HERSELF AND WALKS TO THE COUNTER.

Sal Stowers as Cassandra Foster

CASSANDRA

Skinny latte please.

A GUY WALKS UP TO HER.

GUY
Hey what’s up?

CASSANDRA
Hi.

GUY
You’re lookin’ good.

CASSANDRA
(looking at him quizzically)
Thanks?

GUY
I wanna…get to know you.

CASSANDRA
That’s nice of you but…no thanks.

GUY
Really?  Oh you think you’re too good for me.  You weren’t too good for all the other guys were you?

CASSANDRA
Excuse me?

GUY
Look why don’t you just come back to my place, and do you what you did for those men.

CASSANDRA
I gotta go.

CASSANDRA GOES TO GRAB HER COFFEE WHEN THE GUY GRABS HER ARM.

CASSANDRA
Get off of me!

GUY
You’re nothing but a slut!

SUDDENLY PETE GETS IN BETWEEN THEM.

PETE
Hey I think you need to back the hell up!

CAMERA PAN ON PETE.  SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SCENE 2

GUY
Oh so you work for her bosses?

PETE
Get the hell outta here man!

GUY
See you around slut.

THE GUY LEAVES AND PETE TURNS TO CASSANDRA.

PETE
You alright? 

CASSANDRA
Yeah I’m…I’ll be fine.

PETE
He’s probably waiting outside or something.  Want me to walk you to your car?

CASSANDRA
No my Uber’s outside.  But thank you.  I’m sorry I brought this…kind of attention to your shop.

PETE
Come on Cass don’t worry about it.

CASSANDRA
  Your mom owns this place and it was named after your father.

PETE
You pay attention.

CASSANDRA
But it seems everyone in Pine Valley knows me.

PETE
Look what happened to you wasn’t your fault.  That jerk wad isn’t worth crap.  Not all of us are like him.

CASSANDRA
(smiling)
Thank you.  Um yeah I gotta get outta here. 

PETE
Your Uber that’s right.

CASSANDRA
I’ll…see you around.

PETE
Don’t be a stranger.

------------------------------------------------------------

SCENE 3

PETE IS OUTSIDE WALKING WHEN THE GUY WHO HARASSED CASSANDRA, AND TWO OTHERS, APPROACHES HIM.

PETE
What do you want punk?

GUY
Such a tough guy…a hero. 

PETE
You’re an ass.

GUY
Oh you’re gonna wish you hadn’t said that.

ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS SUCKER PUNCHES PETE IN THE FACE.  HE FALLS TO THE GROUND AND ALL THREE GUYS KICK PETE REPEATEDLY.

----------------------------------------------------------

SCENE 4

AT THE HOSPITAL, DR. JOE MARTIN IS AT THE NURSES STATION WHEN DAVID WALKS UP TO HIM.

Ray MacDonell as Dr.Joe Martin

JOE
Well if it isn’t Dr. Libidizone himself.

DAVID
It’s one of my many great formulas Dr. Martin.  

Vincent Irizarry as Dr. David Hayward

JOE

Ahhh.  All the good it did.

DAVID
I don’t think I properly congratulated you on your retirement.

JOE
Thank you Dr. Hayward.

JOE TRIES TO WALK PAST DAVID…

DAVID
Maybe you can…return one to me at some point.

JOE TURNS AROUND.

JOE
For what?

DAVID
Oh come on Dr. Martin, you know what I’m talkin’ about.

JOE
No actually I don’t.

DAVID
 The Chief of Staff position of course.

JOE
And why would I be congratulating you?

DAVID
Because the board is deadlocked between me and Angie, and although Dr. Hubbard is an excellent physician, I am clearly the more qualified candidate, but that’s up to you isn’t it, since you have the deciding vote.

JOE
I’m not going to tell you which way I’m voting.  It would be unethical.

DAVID
Oh Dr. Martin, so upstanding as always.  A man who follows hospital policies to the letter, loves and protects his family.

JOE
If you’ll excuse me I have to---

DAVID
Don’t you wanna know how Tad’s doing?

JOE
Tad?  He’s dead.

DAVID
Oh you didn’t hear?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCENE 5

AT JESSE’S, JESSE OPENS THE DOOR AND DIXIE WALKS IN.

Darnell Williams as Jesse Hubbard

JESSE

Thanks for coming Dixie.

Cady McClain as Dixie Martin

DIXIE

You said you needed me to come right away?

JESSE
I have something for you.

JESSE goes to the counter, picks up a container, and brings it to Dixie.

DIXIE
What is this?

JESSE
It’s…it’s Tad.

DIXIE
What is this supposed to be?  His ashes?

JESSE
Yes. 

DIXIE
When did you get this?

JESSE
Today.

JESSE gently gives the urn to DIXIE.

DIXIE
It’s…this is final.

JESSE
I’m so sorry Dixie.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SCENE 6

JOE
Hear what?

DAVID
It would be nothing short of miraculous.  I know firsthand those happen.  Look at what I did for Stuart Chandler in 2011.

JOE
And Stuart died three days after Adam did.

DAVID
That’s because he had a broken heart.  That twin thing I guess. 

JOE
What’s your point?

DAVID
You said Tad was dead.

JOE
Is this one of your games Hayward?

DAVID
You have to promise me that you won’t breathe a word of this to anyone else.

JOE
Ruth and I have reservations so I have to get going.

DAVID
I know where Tad is.

JOE
What?  Like I said, he’s dead.

DAVID
You’re wrong Dr. Joe.  He’s very much alive, and I can tell you his location, but if you tell anyone it could put everyone in danger.

JOE
Well where is he?

DAVID
Not so fast. 

JOE
Ooooooh I get it.  You want me to cast my deciding in your favor in exchange for you telling me where Tad is?  How do I know you’re not lying? 

DAVID
You don’t.  You’re just gonna have to trust me and...you know what to do with that vote.

DAVID SMILES AND WALKS AWAY.

BOARD ROOM

Jack walks in dressed in a suit carrying a briefcase.  He places it on the long, center round table and opens it.  Brooke dressed in an

off white power suit walks in.

JACK (sighing):  Brooke.
BROOKE:  I know this can’t be easy for you. 
JACK:  I can’t imagine why Adam would ask me to facilitate the reading of his will.
BROOKE:  I can’t imagine why he’d ask you to deal with his children.
JACK:  No, just JR and Colby.
BROOKE:  His two most difficult children.  Believe me I know.  You know I…still can’t believe he’s gone. 
JACK:  Must be hard for you.
BROOKE:  I’ve come to terms with his death but…of all the men I’ve been with…Adam was it for me, you know?  I know he’s done a lot of things to a lot of people, but he had a side he didn’t show everyone.  He loved me, and in his own way he loved his children.
JACK:  Guess we’re gonna see how much today.

JESSE:  That’s what retired people do huh?  I know what we’re gonna do when we retire.

JESSE STARTS KISSING ANGIE.

ANGIE:  His party isn’t for another three hours.

ANGIE SMILES and TAKES A STEP BACK FROM JESSE.

ANGIE:  I’mmmm…meeting with the board.
JESSE:  For real?  So you about to…you wanna take over Dr. Martin’s position?
ANGIE:  Maaaaybe I do.
JESSE:  Wow you shootin’ for the stars huh?
ANGIE:  You know how long I’ve wanted to be Chief of Staff of Pine Valley Medical Center.
JESSE:  Any doctor worth their salt would want that position.  You deserve it.

ANGIE:  David.

DAVID:  Hey Angie.  You’re here early.
ANGIE:  Did you meet with the board?
DAVID:  Yep.
ANGIE:  So how’d it go?
DAVID:  Oh come on Dr. Hubbard you know I can’t tell you that.
ANGIE:  I thought we were friends.
DAVID:  We are, but this isn’t personal, and if I didn’t know any better, you’re going for the same thing I’m going for.
ANGIE:  And you would be right.  Well it’s time.
DAVID:  Good luck.

JACK and BROOKE are presiding over a meeting with JR, COLBY, and DIXIE sitting at the round table.

Jacob Young as JR Chandler

Marci Miller as Colby Chandler

Cady McClain as Dixie Martin

COLBY:  How long is this gonna take? 

JR:  And where are you in a rush to get to?
COLBY:  My spa appointments are very important to me.
JR:  Oh Jesus.
COLBY:  Why is Brooke here?  I hope dad didn’t leave her anything.
JR:  Where’s your mom?
DIXIE:  Shhh can you guys pay attention?  Jack’s about to read the will.
JACK:  Adam called you here for  his last will and testament.

BROOKE GIVES TWO ENVELOPES TO JR, and ONE TO COLBY.

BROOKE:  Before  we start, he changed the deed to the house over to my name.
COLBY:  So dad left you the house?
JR:  Even after you wanted to run off with Dimitri Marick?
JACK:  Okay everybody let’s focus here.
BROOKE:  Adam wants you all to open these.  Dixie you first.

DIXIE OPENS HER ENVELOPE AND READS ITS CONTENTS.

DIXIE:  This…looks like a…statement?
JACK:  It’s your grandson’s trust.  Adam named you the executor.
DIXIE:  Of this?  This is huge.
BROOKE:  Before he died, he told me that he will trust that you will do what’s best for your grandson.
JACK:  And if you read it further, you are compensated for the handling of it.
DIXIE:  Wow.  I…I can’t believe this.
JACK:  JR he wants to open the first envelope marked G.

BROOKE gives JR another envelope.  He opens it and reads its contents.

JR:  What the hell is this?
JACK:  There should be three plane tickets.  One to Geneva, Switzerland, and two for the return trip to Pine Valley.
JR:  Why three?
COLBY:  Duh, I think dad wants you to go to Geneva and bring someone back to Pine Valley.
JR:  Who could that be?
BROOKE:  And he wants you both to open the other envelopes at the same time.

JR AND COLBY both open their envelopes and read the letters.

JR:  I, Adam Chandler, Sr. bequeath twenty percent of my estate, and nineteen percent of Chandler Enterprises?
COLBY:  Mine says the same thing.
JACK:  He divided his estate with you, JR, Skye, Hayley...
COLBY (interrupting Jack):  That’s only four of us. 
JR:  And the nineteen percent of Chandler would only make seventy six.
COLBY:  We’re missing one child.

A GUY OPENS THE DOUBLE DOORS AND WALKS IN.

GUY:  That’s me.

COLBY AND JR turn around.

Jason Canela as Miguel Reyes

.

COLBY:  You gotta be kidding me.
JR:  Miguel Reyes.
JACK:  Yes, Miguel has twenty percent of Adam’s estate…
JR:  And twenty four percent of…Chandler.
MIGUEL:  Nice to see you, too brother.
JACK:  Actually I…contacted Skye and Hayley.  They’ve each agreed to give up their nineteen percent of Chandler, divided among the three remaining children. 
COLBY:  That’s only 38% percent.
BROOKE:  You would be right, but the way they wanted it is, that JR and Colby, you each would end up with 33%, and Miguel you would end up with 34%.
COLBY:  And controlling interest of Chandler.

DIXIE’S CELL PHONE VIBRATES.

DIXIE:  I’ve…I’ve gotta take this.

OUTSIDE THE ROOM, DIXIE ANSWERS THE PHONE.

DIXIE:  Jesse?
JESSE:  Hey I need you to come to my house as soon as possible. 
DIXIE:  I’m in the middle of something…
JESSE:  This is important.  It’s about Tad.  Something's happened.  I need to meet with you right away.
