EXT: BRADY PUB: MID DAY
EJ and Ava walk out of the park to the Pub.
EJ
(Pointing at the crowd)
I wonder what's happening.
AVA
I don't know. Maybe someone inside knows.
EJ
Are you sure you want to eat here?
AVA
(Opening the door)
Scared?
EJ
Of being poisoned. Most definitely.
AVA
(Going in)
Who wants to live forever?
EJ
(Reluctantly following)
To the end of the day would be nice.
INT: BRADY PUB: MID DAY
Ava is walking towards a table. EJ sees Lucas, Chloe and Nicole in the corner.
EJ
Great.
(Walking to Ava)
We need to leave.
AVA
Why?
EJ
Lucas is here.
AVA
So what. EJ, I'm hungry.
EJ
I'm not in the mood for a scene. No doubt, Samantha has already told him.
AVA
If she had, do you think he would be here? He'd either be celebrating with Sami or trying to find you. He doesn't look like he is in a rush to do either. The best defense is a good offense. Let's find out.
EJ
How?
AVA
I'll go ask him.
(Teasing)
Don' t worry I'll protect you.
Ava walks over to the corner booth.
This is an interesting group.
NICOLE
Ava. I saw you and EJ walk in. He doesn't look like a happy camper.
AVA
Tough morning. But Lucas, you know that.
LUCAS
Sami took care of the annulment.
(Raising his voice so EJ can hear)
He's a free man now.
EJ
(Walking over)
No need to shout. I'm well aware of my marital status. As is everyone else? Lucas, what are you doing hiding in the corner with these two beautiful women? Aren't you afraid Sami will snap your leash to heel?
LUCAS
Unlike you, I'm trust worthy.
CHLOE
Philip and I came with an idea how to help the returning vets. The Kiriakis Foundation is going to sponsor a national fund raising event. We're the local committee.
AVA
It's a great idea. What kind of event are you planning?
NICOLE
I wanted a gala with Champagne and gowns.
EJ
Sounds wonderful.
NICOLE
I was out voted.
LUCAS
It' going to happen on a smaller scale.
CHLOE
The main event is going to be a family friendly fair. With games and booths.
EJ
How provincial.
NICOLE
That’s what I thought.
LUCAS
I would expect you to say that. Being such a good family man that you are.
EJ
I was a good father to the twins.
AVA
(Interceding)
I have an idea for another event. A race.
NICOLE
Race.
AVA
Salem has a track and three great drivers.
EJ
A track yes. But none of us race any more. Nor do we have cars.
AVA
I could rent the cars. It could be my contribution.
EJ
Besides, you need more than three participates.
NICOLE
Could you invite some of your old friends from the good old days?
LUCAS
EJ has friends?
AVA
(Snarky)
Yes, he does.
CHLOE
To much caffeine?
NICOLE
I like it!
LUCAS
Me too. But instead race cars, go karts.
NICOLE
For kids?
EJ
Super karts can go over 150 miles per hour.
LUCAS
You’re thinking too big.
EJ
You think too small.
LUCAS
With the regular karts, we could auction off chances to race against three professional racers.
CHLOE
I love it! Do you think Stephanie and Max would do it?
NICOLE
I don’t know if it would be much of a race. Aren’t they involved?
EJ
(To Lucas)
No doubt, the fix will be in for you to win a spot.
LUCAS
Me no. I already have something lined up.
CHLOE
Which he won’t tell us.
Caroline walks over with their lunch order.
Caroline is Max around.
CAROLINE
He’ll be in later.
NICOLE
Ava came up with the idea to have a race. Do you think Max and Stephanie would be interested in driving Go Karts?
CAROLINE
Go Karts. I’m sure they would like to help. But Go Karts?
EJ
Lucas is too scared to drive the real thing.
LUCAS
I said I already have a job.
NICOLE
The committee doesn’t count. Chloe’s singing. I haven’t decided yet.
LUCAS
It’s going to be the most popular booth of the fair.
CAROLINE
What?
EJ
He’s faking.
LUCAS
Fine. Grandma Alice is teaching me her donut recipe. Julie and I are going to sell them.
CAROLINE
Alice is teaching you her donut recipe.
CHLOE
Alice Horton‘s donuts?
LUCAS
Family recipe.
NICOLE
Those overly rich, highly fattening thigh-expanding donuts? Do you need any help? I’m available.
LUCAS
I told you it was good.
AVA
A donut is a donut.
EJ
Not these.
CAROLINE
Lucas, you know that you have always been my favorite of all Sami’s husbands.
LUCAS
I swore not to tell anyone.
NICOLE
Ava, these things are so sinful, they are better than sex.
AVA
That doesn’t say much for your love life.
LUCAS
(To EJ)
I’d be willing to make you one of Alice’s special chocolate donut. Just to show there is no hard feelings.
CAROLINE
Lucas! Be good.
EJ
I like chocolate donuts.
The door opens. Abe and Celeste help Lexie inside.
Nicole
Me too.
CAROLINE
(Warning)
Lucas
LUCAS
I wouldn’t actually do it. I’d think about. But I wouldn’t do it.
ABE
Caroline. Could you get Lexie some tea?
CAROLINE
What’s wrong? Lexie, are you okay?
LEXIE
(Shaken)
I’ll be fine. Really. You don’t have to fuss.
CELESTE
(Taking EJ aside)
EJ, she tried to kill Lexie.
Ava discreetly listens.
EJ
Lexie didn’t do anything to her. It was father.
CELESTE
It doesn’t matter. Lexie also tried to keep a mother from her child.
EJ
What?
CELESTE
I should have known. The curse was on those who followed Stephano’s bloodline. It more than just being Stephano’s daughter. She tried to steal Bo and Hope’s son. She followed his example. That’s why she didn’t try to hurt Theo. He is protected by his innocence.
EJ
This is crazy. The dead can’t kill.
CELESTE
They can and they do. I will do whatever is necessary to protect my daughter. Elvis, you’d be wise to watch yourself. After all you’ve done, no one will do the same for you.
AVA
I will. I’ll protect EJ.
CELESTE
If you try to protect him--you will die with him.
CUT
INT: SALEM POLICE STATION: EARLY AFTERNOON
Hope is doing research on the computer and taking note on the paperwork in a file.
ROMAN
The warehouse break ins?
HOPE
They're driving me nuts. They have nothing in common except they are empty. The owners are different. The renters are different. Three were north of town. Two were east. Four were near the docks.
ROMAN
How about employees?
HOPE
Nada. Three different rental agents. The rest are rented through the owners.
ROMAN
I don't get it. They don't take anything. They don't break anything. In most cases, it's cleaner than before they broke in.
HOPE
(Going to get a cup of coffee)
That's what's so frustrating. They aren't leaving any evidence behind.
BO
(Walking in)
Who isn't leaving any evidence behind?
ROMAN
Little Brother. Or should I say Councilman Brady? Did you file paper work? Or did you chicken out?
BO
I didn't have time.
HOPE
He chickened out. Bo, we talked about it last night.
BO
I changed my mind.
ROMAN
Why? Not only are you more than qualified, but you have the passion to make the changes. Do you want me to go with you and hold your hand to the big bad clerk won't scare you again.
BO
I'd have to wear a suit and tie.
HOPE
You look very handsome in a suit and tie.
BO
No I don't.
Abe walks in; he head directly to his office.
ROMAN
Yes, you do. Abe, you and I talking about it just yesterday?
ABE
(Distracted)
What? Yes, what ever.
ROMAN
What's up partner?
ABE
Lexie was attacked.
BO
What? Where?
HOPE
Is she okay?
ROMAN
Can she describe who it was?
ABE
A dark haired petite woman who came out of the glass in a shop door.
HOPE
You mean she came through the door?
ABE
No. Out of the glass. I got there a few minutes after it happened. The door had been ripped to shreds, but the glass was piled in a straight line on the floor. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. A woman was coming down the stairs when it happened. She told me that door just exploded. A few seconds later, something grabbed Lexie by the throat. Collin said a prayer to St Michael and it released Lexie. I'm beginning to believe Celeste is right.
ROMAN
An evil spirit? Come on, Abe. There has to be a better explanation.
BO
Of course there has to be.
HOPE
After all the things Stephano has done--I wouldn't doubt if a spirit could curse the living, Stephano would have deserved it.
ROMAN
Without a doubt. But I still can't--no, I won't believe it is possible until I see it.
BO
I second.
HOPE
Be careful what you wish for.
ABE
What were we talking about yesterday?
ROMAN
Bo is thinking about running for councilman.
BO
It's their idea.
ROMAN
And he's afraid he doesn't look good enough in a suit.
ABE
You’re adorable. But you have to give me a better reason to vote for you.
BO
See.
HOPE
Bo, want to made the zoning changes to make it easier for people make their homes green.
ABE
What's stopping them? You have solar panels on your home.
BO
There is a 33 foot wind turbine available that will supply power in as little as 7 mph wind.
ABE
That's great. What's the problem?
BO
It's against the zoning ordinances. It’s too tall.
ABE
A two story house is taller.
BO
My point exactly.
ROMAN
So what are you going to do about?
The threesome stare at Bo, waiting.
BO
I’ll be back.
HOPE
You’re going to do it?
ROMAN
He’ll do it.
BO
I’ll do it. But you three have just been drafted as my campaign staff. And you,
(Kissing her)
Fancy Face are my manager.
ROMAN
Wasn’t she always?
HOPE
Shush.
BO
I better go before I change my mind.
ROMAN
Just to be sure. I’ll drive you.
BO
(Walking toward the door)
I don’t need you to hold my hand.
ROMAN
(Following)
I won’t be holding your hand. I’m be guarding the door in case you try to bolt.
Bo and Roman leave.
HOPE
Abe, how is Lexie?
ABE
She’s shaken and scared. Celeste took her home and is going to stay with her.
HOPE
Does Celeste know who the spirit is?
ABE
I’m certain of it. But she and her friends are too scared to name her. Saying the name is suppose to draw them to you.
HOPE
I remember reading that somewhere. It wonder who it is. Stephano has tormented so many.
ABE
Including members of his own family.
HOPE
It’s been over twenty years. I still remember how Andre murder Renee.
ABE
I remember Tony was devastated.
HOPE
I don’t think he ever got over loosing her.
CUT
INT: CITY CLERK’S OFFICE: EARLY AFTERNOON
Bo and Roman walk in. There is a short line at the counter; they walk to the back of the line. There are already two people in line. The clerk is a classical beautiful blonde (who looks remarkably like Jacqueline Courtney). Her hair is pulled back in a single braid, except for a few strands that have escaped.
BO
The line is too long.
ROMAN
Two people.
BO
I have paperwork to do.
ROMAN
So being green isn’t important enough to you to wait a few minutes?
BO
Of course it’s important.
The clerk goes on to the next customer. Two more people join the end of the line behind them.
ROMAN
So step up to the plate.
BO
Fine. I’ll pick up the paperwork and fill it out at home.
ROMAN
No.
BO
No, what?
ROMAN
I know you, little brother. You’ll find reasons to put it off until it’s too late.
BO
I don’t have my checkbook.
ROMAN
I have mine. You can pay me back.
BO
Thanks a lot.
The person walks away from the counter.
ROMAN
You’re welcome. Your turn.
BO
(Reluctantly he walks to the counter)
I would like paper work
ROMAN
(Stepping up beside him)
Hello, pretty lady. My little brother here would like to become the next councilman. Can you please give him the paperwork he needs to fill out?
ALYESSA
(Opening the file cabinet and take the forms out)
You’re Roman Brady.
ROMAN
Yes. I am. You have the advantage.
ALYESSA
(Giving the forms to Bo)
You can bring them back if you like or use the counter over there.
ROMAN
He’ll fill them out her. I haven’t seen you before.
ALYESSA
I’m just moved back to town.
ROMAN
(To Bo)
Don’t you have some paperwork to fill out? Be quick about it. There are people waiting on you. I’ll keep your place.
(Turning back to Alyessa)
You lived her before.
Annoyed Bo goes to fill out the paperwork.
ALYESSA
I was born here. My family moved away when I was a senior in high school. But that was a long time ago.
ROMAN
Not that long ago.
ALYESSA
You really don’t remember me?
ROMAN
I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t.
CUSTOMER
(From behind)
Is this going to take much longer?
ROMAN
He’s nearly done.
ALYESSA
You honestly don’t remember the girl who gave you the black eye.
ROMAN
(Surprised)
Alyessa? Alyessa Braddock? Is that really you? Now I’m really embarrassed.
Bo starts walking back.
You’ve changed.
ALYESSA
I still have a good right hook.
ROMAN
You did even back then.
ALYESSA
Difference is now I’m a third degree black belt in Tao Kwon Do.
ROMAN
That is something that I always wanted to learn.
BO
(To the people waiting)
Sorry about the wait. I have a pig head brother.
(To Alyessa)
Thanks. I made the check out to the city.
ALYESSA
(Taking the forms and stamping them)
Mr. Brady, you are now in the race. Good luck.
(Writing a note and giving it to Roman)
If you’re not afraid of getting another black eye. I teach class here Tuesdays and Thursday evening 7-10.
ROMAN
(Tucking the stray hair back behind her ear)
I look forward to it.
(Walking away)
Let’s get back to work.
BO
When did you have a black eye?
ROMAN
Never mind. I thought you said you didn’t have your checkbook?
CUT
INT: STEPHANO’S HOSPITAL ROOM: MID AFTERNOON
Stephano lies in his bed, staring at the ceiling. The camera moves into a close up.
CUT
INT: STEPHANO’S STAGE: TIMELESS
Stephano searches the auditorium for a door. There isn’t one. Yet he refuses to give up. The woman’s voice laughs at him. Stephano looks around.
STEPHANO
You can’t frighten me.
WOMAN
Can’t I.
Suspended in the darkness above the stage, the scene at Collin and Lauren’s shop replays, only it freezes as Lexi is being choked.
STEPHANO
Lexi!
WOMAN
Your daughter
(The image fades)
will soon join mine.
STEPHANO
You murdered her!
WOMAN
(EJ’s image at the Pub appears)
Your son will be next.
STEPHANO
You stupid bitch! She’s still alive. I would never kill my own daughter!
WOMAN
If that is true, where is she?
STEPHANO
Will soon join--you didn’t kill her! You couldn’t. Celeste stopped you. Just like before. She’ll never let you hurt her daughter!
WOMAN
She won’t be able to stop me. Every moment I become stronger. When I’m ready, I will take their lives. And there is nothing you can do but watch it happen.
STEPHANO
I’ll find a way out of here!
WOMAN
Give me proof my daughter is still alive and I will leave them in peace.
STEPHANO
Never! I won’t give you the satisfaction.
WOMAN
Then you will watch your children die.
