NY NY (new york new york) Final Season.

Episode 134: Part 3.

Sunday 12th January 2003, Francis Bay, Long Island. Moments after police leave the Wilson Household, Bethany hurries down to the cellar to make sure forensics haven't snuffed out the disk, that had been hidden inside the old furnace. Luckily for Beth, it remains untouched and undiscovered. Bethany returns upstairs to ground level and takes out the cassette tape hidden inside her blouse. It was once in the possession of the now deceased Joe Hayes and it fell from his jacket, whilst in a physical fight with Ted Sumner, who also is now dead. Bethany glances to the crime scene inside the dining, before looking at the clock. It reads 17:30 pm. Bethany then puts the phone line back in, when Benjamin makes an abrupt appearance.
'Are you OK?' Benjamin asks concerned.
'I've never been so on edge in all my life,' Bethany replies.
'How's your head?' Benjamin queries.
'Sore, but I'll be fine,' Bethany assures him.
'You should go to a hospital,' Benjamin suggests.
'No, really I'm OK,' Bethany insists.
'How are you going to explain all this to Harry, when he comes back from the city?' Benjamin wonders.
'I'm working on it,' Bethany claims.
'Well, I'm, praying Dominic keeps his mouth shut,' Benjamin worries. 'Last thing we want, is everything going bust now, after everything, we've all sacrificed.'
'I know that,' Bethany answers.
'Who was this hot shot, Hayes anyway and what made Sumner go nuts?'
'I suspect Mr Hayes, was a Meta Human,' Bethany figures. 'He probably discovered who I was, with my sisterly connections with Carla and probably wanted to force me and Dominic to admit our criminal past.'
'That doesn't make sense, I thought Aunt Carla, was exempt from having her identity revealed to certain employees of the Cosmos when it was in operation,' Benjamin remembers. 'Somebody had sent him here, to snuff us out.'
'You don't think Christopher had anything to do with that?' Bethany gasps.
'No, but I suspect it maybe a certain cop, who he hates the most and hates you the most,' Benjamin hints.
'Eric Lance aka Hank Willis,' Bethany guesses. 'Christopher has gone after him.'
'What if Christopher has gotten himself killed, but if not, what if Lance or whatever his name is, has told Chris the truth about us? We're f****d.'
'We've got so much to deal with, it's driving me up the wall,' Bethany shivers. 'Now, that Dominic knows that Charlotte and I were behind Glenda Robinson's death, he knows he can't expose me, because he knows, Deloris will be left alone, while both her parents are in jail.'
'Well, I hope you're right about that,' Benjamin whispers. 'What about Lance? I'm gonna kill him.'
'You have had enough blood on your hands in the last few weeks,' Bethany explains. 'Too dangerous. Leave it with me.'
'My blood, your blood,' Benjamin reminds her. 'Same thing.'
'Do I need reminding?' Bethany sarcastically replies, looking at the cassette case.
'Mother, if Christopher is still alive and Eric convinces him, we're a threat to Harry, which I know you feel you're not, because you love him, what do we do?' Benjamin panics.
'I don't know.'
'I don't know', is not a good enough answer Mom,' Benjamin argues. 'Jesus Christ, I been masquerading as your next door neighbour for six months, when really I'm your son, saving your skin and trying to keep myself under the radar.'
'Why do you think, I've tried to avoid contact with your aunt Carla?'
'True, but she will always want something in return.'
'Benjamin, baby, wherever she is, I hope to God, she realizes that I've sacrificed everything to keep her secret from the world, maybe you should consider sacrificing your love for Chris, if he is safe and well.'
Do you seriously think, I'm going to give up on the one guy I love, to save us?' Benjamin frowns.
'It won't be easy I know,' Bethany senses.
'It won't happen, because Harry will be pursuing Christopher for sometime and you know what that sleazy wife of his Emma, will be like, despite her being with her new bed pal, Rebecca, she won't give up on the truth. It's too risky and you'd have to look at Harry every day, knowing the truth.'
'Then I guess, it's better we don't go looking for Christopher,' Bethany shrugs.
'Oh I see, Catch Twenty two,' Benjamin moans.
'Why don't you go lie down, Harry might not be long in getting home, we'll discuss this at a more convenient time.'
'Whenever that is, probably in a Court Of Law, maybe.'
Benjamin leaves the house and returns to his cabin house, leaving Bethany in a awkward position. Bethany has finally revealed as Benjamin's mother. What does Benjamin mean, by sacrificing everything and Bethany not getting anymore blood on Benjamin's hands? Bethany looks again at the cassette tape and ascends the staircase, to the bedroom. Bethany walks to the bedroom window and spots Benjamin sitting on the short wooden pier, on the estuary. Benjamin loves Christopher, but Bethany fears that push may come to shove and may have to live with getting rid of Harry's adopted nephew, that's if Chris, survives Chanel Mantel's aka Carla Morrisons hostage situation, which Bethany and Benjamin are already unaware of. Bethany again looks at the cassette tape and places it into the hi fi system. What she hears, will probably change the course of the dysfunctional Wilson family fold. Bethany places play.
