SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE:

and

SAM JONES as Joe Hayes.








Tuesday 7th January 2003, Francis Bay, Long Island. King's Cafeteria. Charlotte King stirs in her sleep, as she relives the moment her son, James perished in a house fire, which she constantly felt at fault for. It was a feeling of guilt because she believed she neglected her son and it drove her to a mental institution for a while. Despite the support of Dominic and Deloris, Charlotte still saw herself as an irresponsible mother. It explains her overprotectiveness of her daughter, as she wants to be assured that Deloris doesn't hold her responsible for her younger brothers death. What started the fire remains a mystery. Charlotte abruptly awakes in a sweat, as daylight can be barely seen through the curtains at 7:30 a.m. She looks around the room as she sits up. Downstairs, is a groggy Deloris setting up tables and chairs ready for opening time. Despite the previous nights shocking events, Deloris cannot bring herself to sleep. Benjamin has broken her heart and her friends have betrayed her. Dominic enters from the upstairs apartment and is shocked to see his daughter out of bed and tries to intervene.
'You should be in bed resting, I can manage down here,' Dominic insists.
'Sleep is not what I need,' Deloris answers. 'I need something to take my mind off......things.'
'Working won't solve anything honey,' Dominic adds. 'You're in shock. And so am I.'
'What did Mom say?' Deloris queries.
'She doesn't know yet,' Dominic replies. 'Your Mother looked like she was out for most of the night and may not have noticed I was gone to pick you up.'
Deloris is brought to tears and sits herself on a stool.
'How could he do this to me Daddy?' Deloris cries. 'I loved him so much and he looked at me, like I didn't matter at all. In fact, Rebecca didn't give a shit either, both her lover and cousin seemed as satisfied as that Bastard did. Just can't get the picture of what they were doing out of my head. It makes me sick.'
'Just wait 'til I get my hands that Bates,' Dominic threats. 'He will soon find himself having a sexual dysfunction by the time I'm finished with him.'
'No Daddy, you'll just make it worse,' Deloris begs.
'For him yes, better for you,' Dominic promises. 'Well, Rebecca is done here and I hope Harry is ashamed of her. And to think, it was Harry's nephew sleeping with that bastard.'
'As far as I'm concerned, they're all dead to me. The four of them, Benjamin, Rebecca, Emma and Christopher are all made for each other, Deloris seethes.'
'Please take my advice sweetheart, go upstairs and get some shut eye for a while. Please.'
'OK, but please don't go looking for Benjamin. He's not worth it.'
OK, I promise. But I will talk to Harry to see what he makes of his daughters sickening stunt,' Dominic tells her.
'Thanks Daddy,' Deloris smiles, wiping her tears.
Deloris kisses her father on the cheek and they embrace.
'The only people I care mostly about will always be you and Mom. You're my best friends,' Deloris whispers. 'Please don't tell Mom, at least let me tell her when the time is right.'
Tell me what, when the time is rights,' Charlotte interrupts, with her arms folded, stood in the apartment doorway in a dressing gown.
It looks like Deloris will have to burden her mother, with Benjamin's betrayal as Charlotte will not rest until Deloris admits what she meant.

The Wilson Household, Harry is shocked to find that Rebecca had brought Emma back home to Francis Bay from the City, as the two girls enter the kitchen hand in hand. Harry had thought Rebecca and Emma had agreed to be just good friends, after their previous romance the previous year, but it looks like old flames die hard. And what's worse, is that Emma is still married to Harry's adopted nephew, Christopher. Bethany too is stunned by how close the two women have become. Does this mean Bethany will be jealous of Emma's constant presence? Harry places his mug of coffee on the counter and stands with his arms folded.
'Please tell me, you two aren't............?
'Yes, Daddy,' Rebecca nods. 'Emma and I are in love. We can't help how we feel.'
'But, this will destroy Christopher, he's Emma's husband,' Harry argues.
'To be honest, Harry, my soon to be Ex husband has found himself a new lover himself,' Emma explains. 'In your next door neighbour.'
Harry and Bethany look at each other, knowing that Emma means Benjamin. Harry scratches his head, trying to get to grips with recent revelations.
'What next door neighbour are we talking about Emma?' Bethany asks, playing dumb.
'Benjamin,' Emma states.
Harry laughs immediately thinking his daughter and her girlfriend are playing a game on him and Bethany. But, when he notices Rebecca's eyes beginning to water, it soon dawns on him, that what Emma and Rebecca are saying is the truth. Harry looks to his wife to support him on how to answer the girls admissions. He always knew since he met his daughter, that she was homosexual, but never thought that Christopher was bio- sexual. It's not a bad thing, but the way it's happened, it could have repercussions from the Kings, since Deloris was madly in love with Benjamin.
'Benjamin?' Harry gasps. 'Why?'
'Benjamin doesn't love Chris, Harry,' Emma thinks. 'He's just using him to get at me and Rebecca.'
'Daddy I'm sorry,' Rebecca apologises. 'But, I can't help how I feel. But, Christopher is not all innocent in this.'
'Deloris will be devastated,' Bethany reminds them.
'She is,' Dominic enters the kitchen unexpectedly. 'No thanks to these two whores.'
'Dominic, what are you talking about?' Harry worries walking towards him.
'Oh, they haven't told you, the horror my daughter witnesses last night at the New York Palace Hotel?' Dominic storms.
Rebecca and Emma don't make eye contact with Deloris angry father, as Bethany stands alongside Harry.
'What happened?' Bethany asks.
'Yeah, tell them about the state you left my baby girl in, after she caught you both in role play with Bates and his lover,' Dominic shouts.
'What?' Harry say wide eyed.
'Are you saying, that Rebecca was engaged in a sexual act with Emma, Rebecca and Christopher?' Bethany second guesses.
Rebecca and Emma stand shaken looking the direction of the Lighthouse. Harry glances round at his daughter, who cannot even bring herself to look at the man she sees as her father.
'Rebecca? Rebecca is this true?........Look at me!!' Harry raises his voice, as he startles her and she looks him in the eye. 'Tell me, this isn't true.'
'I'm sorry it is,' Rebecca admits, in floods of tears, then breaking down in Emma's arms.
'I wanna know why?' Dominic demands.
'Dom, I'll stop by later and we'll talk this over, I need time with my daughter to straighten this out,' Harry pleads.
'This isn't over,' Dominic warns, storming out the door.
As Dominic marches to his car, he hears a door slam shut and he turns around and spots Benjamin and Christopher outside the cabin house in a clinch.
'You Son Of A Bitch!!' Dominic yells, storming towards Benjamin.
The other Wilsons hurry outside. Harry rushes after Dominic as Dominic punches Benjamin right on the chin. Benjamin hits the floor, but laughs off Dominic's right hook. Harry holds him back and Dominic throws abuse at the fisherman.
'You are one sick mother******,' Dominic screeches. 'I swear if you ever go near my daughter again, I'll kill you.'
Dominic storms off home, leaving Harry disgusted in his nephew.
'You and I will be having words,' Harry tells Christopher.
Christopher looks to Benjamin, who just shrugs his shoulders, touching the bruise on his chin.

Benjamin enters his shop on the harbour and heads behind the counter. He looks in the mirror and checks out the injury that Dominic had caused. He then glares glumly at himself and catches the reflection of Bethany staring at him, with her arms folded, with a disappointed expression. He turns round and not an ounce of guilt is shown.
'Go on then, tell me how disappointed you are,' Benjamin groans.


Christopher is escorted into the kitchen by Harry, as Rebecca and Emma are being kept company somewhere else by Bethany. Harry is shocked to discover, Rebecca has re-ignited her love affair with Emma, who is married to his adopted nephew Chris. But, what's doubly shocking is that Christopher has been sleeping with Harry's fisherman neighbour and best friends daughters boyfriend, Benjamin Bates. Harry signals an uncomfortable Christopher to sit down, as he wonders why now, after everything, he decided to cause such an embarrassment and humiliation within the family and to Dominic's family? Christopher twiddles his thumbs as Harry stares at him, almost with disgust.
'I know I'm not your father, but you're very much part of the family fold,' Harry begins. 'I understand you've had your fair share of heartache, learning the man you thought as your father, Alfred was using you all those years, losing your mother Sylvia, your best friend George and then of course Jeff last year, but does that justify you getting into group sex with your cousin and our neighbour and breaking a young girls heart, in Deloris? Huh?!'
'I'm sorry,' Christopher sighs, as he looks to the ground in shame.
'What happened to you?' Harry asks, sitting down. 'You had a beautiful wife, you've got an excellent career........'
'Did have an excellent career,' Christopher interrupts. 'I quit, the paper.'
'Oh, so you shitted that down the toilet too?' Harry sarcastically answers. 'When did you realize you were gay?'
Christopher is put on the spot by Harry's question, feeling he is not the right person to answer that pacific question to. Christopher rest his head on his hand, looking away, wondering why his life has taken a drastic and abrupt turn within weeks.
'OK, I take that as a "no comment",' Harry figures. 'But why now?'
Christopher is anxious to exit the room, but fears that it will make things even worse.
'I see, you want me to mind my own f***** business?' Harry raise his voice.
Annoyed, Christopher hits the table with his fists in anger.
'I never thought of myself as Gay, it just......it just happened,' Christopher claims.
'So the group sex thing just happened did it?' Harry slates. ' You and lover boy decided to invite Rebecca and Emma into kinky games just so you could get caught by Deloris and tear her apart. Whatever issues you have with Emma, it should never had come to this. If you had any dignity, you would have at least done this privately and had told your cheating lover to break Deloris heart discreetly. But then this isn't the first time you betrayed trust is it? Remember Lea, your Daddy's second wife, the one who turned into a vampire?'
'Rebecca not all innocent in this,' Christopher reminds Harry.
'I know that, I'm just as disappointed in her as I am of you,' Harry acknowledges. 'Losing her aunt is no excuse for what happened last night. "Who get's the last laugh?" Wwwhy? Why would any of you do this?'
'I'm not lying when I tell you this, but it was a surprise to me too, when Benjamin walked in with the girls,' Christopher explains. ' They looked uncomfortable, when they started to undress. I think Benjamin might have used the wrong kind of vengeance.'
'Oh, so you both were out to get my daughter and your wife?'
'It's not like that. I guess I wanted closure with Emma.'
'Well you it got alright, but poor f***** Deloris got the nightmare on her closed novel.'
'I regret really I do,' Christopher insists, standing up and walking to the window and looking out tot he estuary. 'I couldn't predict what was going to happen, but I realize now that Benjamin intended for Deloris to walk in.'
'It is still humiliating,' Harry points out, pacing slowly to his shaken and tearful nephew. 'Yet, your still with him, why?' Because you love him, despite his manipulating actions? Question, is how and why Rebecca was manipulated into this? She wouldn't have caved into Benjamin's sick stunt to break a young girls heart.'
'Your talking like my heart hasn't been broken,' Christopher moans. 'When I first saw Emma, at the opening Senate campaign involving Otto, I was in love, it was the most amazing feeling I had felt in my life.'
'What changed?' Harry queries.
'Me, without a second thought. But, like I said, it just happened,' Christopher said. ' A part of me will always love Rebecca, but there's something about Benjamin that's holding me closer to him.......Are you gonna throw Benjamin out of the cabin house?'
'I can't answer that right now, but if you two are to stay put, just remember, your soon to be Ex wife and my daughter are gong to be sleeping in the same bed, just another structure across the walkway from you. And a bit of advice, I wouldn't recommend lunch at the Kings Café anytime soon, Deloris may know where to put it, or throw it, I should say,' Harry informs.
'All I can say, is sorry over and over again,' Christopher says.
'If your mother and father were here now, I can just picture their reaction now and believe me Chris, it wouldn't have been pretty. Jeff would have made his presence clear and he would have seen to it, that Benjamin wouldn't be respected ever again for the way he's destroyed a blessed daughter that Charlotte and Dominic have.'

Driving from JFK Airport back to Manhattan, is Eric with Chanel, who he has just collected from the airport. Chanel is in fact on the run, Carla Morrison, former C.E.O of the silent organization the Cosmos.
Also, Jack Wilson, who she claims as her son, has been in her care since his kidnap in Season Four's 'Manipulated Kidnap'. 'Whatever she has planned, Eric is completely unaware, that his current girlfriend, is the woman he used to sleep with on occasions back in the 70's. Chanel obviously has something up her sleeve and it looks like Eric has invited a woman into his life, who has the intent on destroying his. The disk she had hoped was placed in her possession, contained all the info of the Cosmos secrets and other miscellaneous crimes, including that of the mysterious death of Harry's parents, that has been in questions since the beginning of the series.
The disk however, didn't contain the info she had hoped for and begins to suspect, that Eric doesn't trust her. It begins to snow and Eric takes it easy on the highway. Eric notices Chanel has been quiet for most of journey back to the city. He thinks she's just lacking sleep.
'Your trips around the globe, seems to make you more tired, than I realized,' Eric figures.
'I'm fine,' Chanel smiles partially. 'I'm sorry, I didn't call you sooner, to let you know, I was caught up. It's been kinda hectic.'
'I missed you,' Eric claims.
Chanel smirks, wondering if he actually means it or not. Is it a smirk of warmth or a smile, knowing that she thinks she is making a fool out of him?
'I missed you too,' Chanel giggles, planting a kiss on his cheek and resting her head near his waist, as he drives.
'Get up to much?' Chanel queries
'Work and when I had time to myself, I chilled,' Eric answers.
'Do love you me Eric?' Chanel unexpectedly asks.
'Now, what brought that on?' Eric wonders.
'I'm worried, that this is just a pretence, until we discover what's on that disk and exposing Carla and her sister, Bethany.'
'No, matter, what happens your my girl,' Eric winks.
'What if we f*** up and someone gets hold of the disk?' Chanel secretly attempts to interrogate. 'Are you sure it's safe in the apartment, especially if we're not present?'
'Relax, it's perfectly safe, it's in the right hands,' Hank hints, without thinking.
Chanel raises to eyebrows as she smirks to herself and quietly says the words to herself without a voice, "In the right hands?"

Friday 10th January 2003, Elaina and Abraham's Apartment, Manhattan, NYC. Abraham, Elaina and their son Andy return home from watching a movie. As they enter the apartment, they find it ransacked. Abraham demands his wife and son, stay in the hallway to check inside to make sure, whatever intruder broke in, isn't still in the apartment. Abraham searches the bedrooms, all the drawers have been pulled out and the beds have been turned over. He then checks the bathroom and the cabinets haven't just been opened, but pulled off the wall and the bath looks like it had been smashed through. Abraham is horrified by the mass of the destruction, whoever broke in. It appears that nothing is missing and to why somebody would break in and not take anything is anybody's guess. Abraham searches for the phone, but the cable has been snapped.
'Abs?' Elaina calls.
'Wait there,' Abraham insists, as he takes out his cell phone and dials the Precinct where Eric s working late.
'Lance speaking,' Eric calls.
'Eric, it's me,' Abraham replies. 'Man, I really need your help right now.'
'What is it?' Eric wonders, standing to his feet.
'My apartment has been broken into, the place is like a dumpsters yard,' Abraham informs.
'Was anybody hurt?' Eric queries.
'No, myself, Elaina and Andy were out to a movie and we came back and found the place all smashed up.'
'OK, don't touch anything,' Eric encourages his further superior. 'I'll be round with forensic investigators A.S.A.P.'
'Thank you, Eric, you're a true friend,' Abraham says.
Abraham hangs up and Eric puts his head in his hands, as he suspects who was behind the break in.
'You don't know me all do you, Abs?' Eric frustratingly sighs, as he thumps the table in anger. 'You bitch Chanel, you're onto aren't you?'
If Chanel aka Carla, was behind the break in, there is only one reason why she would be. To retrieve the disk, that contains all the dirty secrets of the Cosmos. Eric must've have trusted Elaina enough to keep Abraham in the dark.

Francis Bay, Long Island. Rebecca and Emma sit on the porch swing, looking out to the starry night sky. A shooting star, paces across the horizon, as the cold winter breeze brushes the girls into their faces. Emma turns to her left and stares momentarily at Benjamin's cabin house, which is also now occupied by her Ex- husband, Christopher. Rebecca turns her chin away and kisses her tenderly on the lips. Emma bravely smiles.
'You don't have to feel guilty,' Rebecca reminds Emma. 'Chris dug himself a hole too. We all have to dig ourselves out of it eventually. But, as long as we stick together, we'll be fine.'
'It's just gonna be so awkward now,' Emma points out. 'I mean, my Ex- husband, your cousin, Harry's nephew, is basically gonna be living next door with his lover. That's really awkward.'
'Well, unfortunately we can't have a say in the matter,' Rebecca explains. 'After all, according to my father, we're all as bad as each other. Plus, Bethany has already pointed out, there are two sides to every story.'
'Does your step mother have a thing for Bates or something?' Emma asks.
'How'd you mean?' Rebecca frowns.
'Well, I still don't know, how Benjamin came to know about us, and there is no way Christopher would have found out about us on his own, considering you and I have been living over a hundred miles away for months. The only two people that knew before hand was Bethany and Benjamin. From what I witnessed the other day, your Daddy seemed oblivious to everything, until we confessed all. Bethany didn't have much to say, until Benjamin was mentioned.'
'I'll talk to her tomorrow, find out of she has forgotten to tell us something,' Rebecca promises.
'I'm not gonna force you Becky, but what did Bates blackmail you with to go ahead in hurting Deloris?'
Rebecca had wished Emma hadn't asked her that. If Emma knew the truth of her origins, her fake identity and Linda Perry, then it could become very complicated and somebody else could be left in turmoil. Also Rebecca, has been concealing Bethany dark secrets. Even though Rebecca has had no choice, Bethany has become dangerous and it's left Harry totally oblivious.
'Let's just say, it's all in the past now,' Rebecca explains. 'I want the future to be perfect.'
'But, what about poor Deloris?' Emma whispers. 'She thought her future was perfect and that shit face over there has no shame.'
'We can't leave things as they are, we have to try and make Deloris see, that Benjamin was behind it all,' Rebecca said.
'To be honest, I don't think we'll get into the café, without getting caught in the oven first,' Emma figures.


Abraham and Elaina's Apartment. Forensics attempt to get finger print samples, and look for any kind of DNA or any other evidence which may have been left behind. Both Abraham and Elaina are left frustrated, by what has just occurred. Elaina holds Andy close, as she fears this could be a little to close for comfort. Eric and Elaina exchange glances at one another, knowing in truth, that the break in was over the disk. Abraham insists Elaina take Andy to stay with her mother in Pennsylvania for a few days, until it all blows over.
'It will be a good excuse to get away from attention at the New York Times, considering you're the editor,' Abraham suggests.
Elaina partially looks to Eric, who nods and agrees with Abraham with his suggestion.
'I agreed, Abs and I will make sure, that whoever did this, will get what's coming to them.


In a dark Alley, on the outskirts of Brooklyn, Chanel meets with a heavy inside a limo and asks him, did he find what she was looking for?
'No, somebody got there before we could,' the heavy informs.
Chanel is not best pleased, but suspects Eric staged the break in. But, he thinks Chanel had been the one behind the break in. So if it wasn't Chanel's heavy and it wasn't Eric. Who was it?


Saturday 11th January 2003, New York City. Emma and Rebecca head into the New York Times office, to find Elaina, but she is not present. A reporter recognizes Emma and approaches the two girls to inform her, that she will be out of the office for a week or so. Emma and Rebecca then head to the elevator and calls Elaina's cell phone. It is turned off.
'I seriously doubt Elaina, would tell Chris, seeing as she and Chris were threatened by this Eric Lance,' Rebecca reminds her. 'Does this so called Cop, know Benjamin or something?'
'If he wanted to blow our cover, then he would have dealt with Elaina, myself and Chris right away,' Emma adds.
'Sounds like she doesn't want to be disturbed, while on a vacation,' Rebecca figures.
'Maybe,' Emma shrugs. 'All I wanted to know, is if she or Lance were aware of the revelation scenario.'
'I take it, Lance has been too preoccupied with something else to take notice,' Rebecca suspects.
'Elaina did mention, that Eric has been involved with another woman,' Emma replies. 'I'm sorry, but I still think Bethany could be the informant of our affair.'
'I'm beginning to think you're right,' Rebecca agrees. 'If so why? I thought she loved me enough to not stab me in the back. I'll talk to her tonight, alone if that's OK?'
'Just don't be fooled, just be sure you know what's true and what's not,' Emma warns her.
'Whatever the truth, I don't regret us,' Rebecca smiles kissing Emma on the lips.
The elevator doors open on the ground floor and stand in front of the two ladies are both Abraham and Eric Lance. The two cops are shocked to see Emma and Rebecca in a clinch. Emma stares directly at Eric, remembering the threats he made to her about her husband, if she didn't cover up his murderous antics. Eric does well to contain himself, as does Abraham and takes the hint on why Christopher quit his job with the paper.
'Um, Hi Ab's, we just, come b...bu......by to see if Elaina was around,' Emma nervously answers.
Abraham and Eric glance at one another, and Eric turns away looking very smug. Emma is worried that Eric will now keep his earlier threats and go after Chris, even now he is with someone else.
'Elaina and Andy have gone away for a few days to her mothers,' Abraham informs. 'In fact we had a break in last night. The whole place was trashed.'
'Oh my God,' Emma gasps, is Ela.....'
'Elaina's fine, we were out during the whole thing,' Abraham assures Emma. 'God knows, why or who broke in, but Elaina and myself have become public knowledge in the last year and a half since we moved here.'
'Explains why she turned her cell phone off,' Emma explains.
'I guess I'm not surprised she would do that,' Abraham sighs. 'Considering what happened last night, other rivals of the newspaper will try and pester her. I've had my fair share this morning, but the Times has been warned. You two remember Detective Lance from the nine eleven memorial?'
'I can hardly forget a face,' Emma almost whispers almost aggressively.
'Yeah,' Rebecca grins, like a Cheshire Cat. 'Your partner is sure a tall drink of water isn't he.'
'I'm flattered,' Eric chuckles. 'I get it a lot, it must be my ponytail.'
'Emma, your personal life is none of my business, but you tell Christopher he's let Elaina down big time,' Abraham insists.
'Will sure do,' Emma nods. 'I take it you're doing some investigating right now?'
'Whatever clues there maybe, are likely connected with my job and Elaina's, but our current investigations have all had alibi's, so while Elaina's away, we want to make sure she comes back to be safe.'
'When you talk to Elaina, be sure to say hello and that I'm thinking about her,' Elaina says.
'I will,' Abraham assures.
'Bye,' the two girl say, exiting via the front entrance.
'Bye now, Abraham waves.
'Laters,' Eric calls.
Emma looks back at Eric and his smug face almost make her want to lunge at him. Both Eric and Abraham step into the elevator and Emma looks back again, as she and Rebecca step out into the winter air. Eric stares profusely at Emma, but Rebecca is quick to stop Emma look back, by tugging at her arm. On the way up in the Elevator, Eric chuckles to himself.
'From where I was standing, they looked more than just good friends,' Eric points out.
'That was a shocker,' Abraham states. 'And that's the second one I've had in just over twelve hours.'
'We'll get the bastards who did this,' Eric promises. 'They f****d with the wrong territory.'
'Say, how's Chanel?' Abraham asks.
Eric thinks for a moment, as he suspects that she may be behind the break in at Abraham and Elaina's apartment. Eric had trusted Elaina with a disk, that contains vital information. Personal and dangerous info are on the disk, which has put the country centre of some cruel scenarios and Eric is keen to bring justice discreetly and not just for his own needs, but for Harry's too.
'She's fine, she asked me if I loved her, the other day,' Eric answers.
'You did say yes?' Abraham queries, expecting Eric to admit he loves her.
Eric thought he could. He couldn't love himself, after all the brutal things he done in the past and not just his distant past, but a few months ago, he murdered two people. One for a favour, in return to be left alone, the other to cover his own tracks. The last one, left Elaina and Christopher in a predicament.
'Of course I did,' Eric claims. 'She's my inspiration.'
'Inspiration huh?' Abraham laughs. 'You mean you do the ironing, make the bed, do your own make up, make sure your pony tail is up to standard?'
'Something like that.'
'I bet you know every trick in the Kama Sutra now.'
'And that my friend, stay's in the bedroom. You can't force me to confess, just because we're in an elevator.'
'Tu shay.'
Abraham enters the floor where Elaina works. Abraham and Eric head into Elaina's office and Abraham uses Elaina's password, which she agreed to give to him, so he can check out if there is any info on somebody, who could be connected with the break in. Eric begins to wonder if Elaina did swipe all the information she had on him, prior to her trusting him. The only reason he did what he did, was to attempt to escape his past and Emma and Chris's love life got in the way, with Elaina pulled into the middle and now Chanel aka Carla Morrison, America's Most Wanted in disguise, is out to stop her enemies before she is discovered. It seems the deceased Jeff Wilsons quick thinking while on the run, has got people fighting over his good cause. Eric suggests that maybe somebody that works at the New York Times, could be behind the break in or possibly somebody from a rival newspaper.
'That's a good hunch,' Abraham agrees. 'Why don't you do some digging, while I carry on with this?'
Eric to more than happy to do so, so he can have time to think on how he can stop Chanel, before she stops him. She's still very dangerous, and is her accomplices. Eric could hit the floor, long before he flinches, if she knew, he knew of her intentions. As Eric steps into the elevator, he cell phone rings. He answers it.
'Lance speaking.'
'I haven't forgotten, Lance,' Christopher whispers.
'Christopher, I hear Emma has finally admitted his betrayal, I am truly sorry,' Eric said.
'Your reign as a free man with soon be at an end Lance,' Chris threats.
'That's what I like about you Chris, is your fighting spirit. Say, how's lover boy Benjamin doing these days?'
'Keep up the cocky pretence Eric and you'll keep making yourself believe you're a saint rather than a sinner,' Christopher sarcastically snaps. 'So now, I have made my point, bring it on. I'm not dying quietly.'
'I never expected you to, what changed your mind, Bates not giving you much attention lately?' Eric goads.
'Just so you know, I'm aware you had Elaina keep trust in you and that I don't buy it,' Chris attempts to worry. 'I saw you give her a disk and she didn't hide it in her office did she?'
'OK, Christopher, you have my attention, what are you implying?'
'I think you know?'
'You little shit, it was you that broke into Abraham's apartment.'
'Bingo,' Christopher confesses. 'I didn't find what I was looking for. Somebody else beat me to it, so I'm guessing we have a dilemma.'
'Dilemma?' Eric questions.
'You either confess to Abraham, your true identity and your crimes, or I kill the traitor who protected a murderer and kept my wife's dirty secret,' Christopher threats.
Eric realizes why Elaina's phone is switched off. Christopher has taken Elaina hostage. Christopher is then seen in an unknown dark place, holding a tied up and gagged Elaina hostage. Elaina is terrified and in tears, as Christopher holds a gun to his once boss's head.
'I had been seen as the apple of my deceased mothers eyes, the son that a father like Jeff Wilson could be proud of and a once devoted husband to Emma, who I thought loved me. But that all changed, when she, Elaina and you all shit on me. I lost my best friend George the day of those terrible attacks, so what exactly have I got to lose now, huh? Nothing, because you probably won't care if I kill her or not. And if I do kill her, I go to jail and could still tell the world about you, so we're at "catch 22." I'll give you twenty four hours to make your mind up and then we'll decide Elaina's fate. I'd hate to be in your shoes, when you tell Abraham it was your fault, his wife died. What are you Eric, Saint Or Sinner?'
Christopher hangs up, leaving Eric in a predicament. Christopher has lost the plot and Chanel is also on the war path. Double Trouble.
Elaina sits terrified in a dark unknown location. Andy's whereabouts are unknown. Christopher leaves her alone, in the cell, as she cries out.



Bethany returns home for a lunch break from the bank and notices the basement door, has been opened. Bethany figures that somebody must be home, as there is no forced entry to suspect a burglar has entered the premises. Bethany walks to the door and looks down into the darkness. She then quickly looks up to the upstairs landing, thinking somebody is home.
'Hello?' Bethany calls. 'Harry?! Rebecca?!
There is no reply. Harry is likely to be at work and to Bethany's knowledge, Rebecca and Emma have drove to the city. The family rarely enter the basement and the last time that anybody entered down below, was when Steven Whittaker made an unexpected appearance. Bethany turns on the basement light and cautiously proceeds down the staircase. She reaches the bottom and is appears to be empty. Bethany's mind seems to be put at rest and she turns to head back upstairs, when she notices in the lights glare, on the old dusty furnace, a dusty incarnation of Bethany's initials, B.M.W. Bethany checks inside the furnace and finds a brown envelope. She takes it out and opens it. What she takes out, is what Eric, Chanel and Christopher have all been looking for. The disk of secrets. Bethany stares at the disk, before noticing a note, written to her. "Sometimes we can't throw caution to the wind Mother. We have to fight fire with fire x. " Bethany then realizes what she has in her grasp and she smirks to herself.
'That's my boy,' Bethany grins.

Precinct, NYC, Manhattan. Eric tries to get himself together and he turns the faucet on, in the men's room and throws cold water over his face. It looks like trying to be a honourable guy, is not paying off. He is far from an angel, but he's trying to repent for all his crimes. But, psychologically instinct may become too powerful and he will deal with anything a danger to his secret life, accordingly. He has murdered two people since he came to New York, one as a hit ordered by Bethany, granting him his personal space afterwards, yet a old face from his past came to haunt him and he dealt with it, by crushing his victim in a junkyard. Yet, in between his ghastly antics, he's your friendly neighbourhood cop, to serve and protect. He trusted Elaina enough with the disk, so he could test Chanel's trust. Right now, he's finding it difficult who to trust, as Chanel is keeping him in the dark and now Christopher wants to make it difficult for Eric, by threatening to kill Elaina, if Eric doesn't confess who he really is to the world. So far, Eric will do anything to avoid having his past connections kept secret, he wanted to get his revenge on the Morrison sisters his own way. In truth, he has nothing to lose anymore. The disk is missing, Chanel is onto him and Christopher is threatening all kinds. Nothing is going his way, the only other option he has, is to kill a lost Christopher and hope Elaina will continue to keep his secret, due to a sort of kind act. Andy's status is unknown and Elaina is trapped in a secret place, with chains. Eric has just twenty two hours to conjure up something to put everything back on course. It looks like he may have to kill Chris to save himself and Chanel is difficult to get to, as she now may suspect he is onto her. The disk, plus a hard drive that is difficult to track down, was the holy grail. Eric feels his past as Hank Willis, still influences him into the dark side that persistently won't let him into the light. Telling Harry Wilson all now face to face, could risk everything. Even though the Cosmos Organization,
isn't as powerful as it was, the people behind the deceit and corruption are a danger to anyone who attempts to expose it, and whether you're a loved one or not, there is only one way out and you don't know who is lurking behind a corner. Eric can't that risk. Eric exits the bathroom and proceeds into his office and falls into his chair. He looks out of the window as the mid afternoon winter sun, beams down onto the New York City skyline. He looks across to where the World Trade Center's used to stand, then he turns back and unlocks his desk. Out he takes, is a picture of Tina, when she was just eighteen, before she and Harry officially became High School Sweethearts. Maybe his act of trying to do Harry a favour, is because of the warm heart, they both fell in love with, Tina. Even though he hated that Tina chose Harry at the time, this time he can make Harry choose his side. Eric close his desk back up and put his head in hands, as he tries to a way attempt to keep his secret and keep Elaina alive. There is a commotion outside his office, as a police officer tries to restrain eighteen year old, shoplifter, Joe Hayes, who is wearing a familiar necklace. The
Cosmos necklace.


Joe Hayes continues to cause a scene, inside the offices of the Police Station. The Cosmos necklace falls from around the neck of Hayes, during a struggle, as the officer with him tries to restrain him. Eric watches the necklace hits the floor and recognizes the similarities of the once secret societies necklace. So many have been purchased without knowledge of it's power over the years and also given to those who has special powers. Eric moves forward and picks it up, as Joe profusely refuses to calm down and decides to insult the arresting officer, Farrell.
'Do you treat your wife like this asshole?' Joe yells.
'No, but I wish I could,' Farrell unexpectedly admits with his voice raised.
Everybody begins to stare.
'You really hate her that much?' Joe queries.
'Yeah, I f***** do,' Surprisingly confesses. 'The Bitch is so annoying, I don't know why I married her. The only reason I stay with her, is because of our daughter, Erin, or should I say her daughter. I could never admit she's not mine anyway and leave, as she inherits millions upon her eighteenth birthday from her grandfather, I mean what idiot would walk away from that?'
Eric and his colleagues are gobsmacked by how Officer Farrell can keep a straight face by admitting what he did. Joe smugly smirks, as Farrell's, Carol has heard everything, with her teenager daughter, Erin stood beside her in utter shock at Farrell's admission. Carol is devastated.
'You bastard,' Carol scolds.
Within moments to every bodies stunned silence, Farrell cannot believe his actions, almost as if he never meant to say what he admitted to a criminal he just arrested. Farrell looks to Erin, who now knows he is not her father and she is heart broken. Erin looks to her mother and runs out of the offices and Carol chases after her. Farrell looks to Eric, feeling embarrassed.
'What just happened?' Farrell gasps.
'You just got something very personal off your chest,' Eric reminds him.
Farrell notices Joe with a smug grin on his face. He also looks around and everyone is staring.
'Oh my God, Carol, Erin,' Farrell panics, as he rushes out of the offices after his wife and her daughter.
Eric is too occupied by Farrell's strange outburst, Joe makes a run for it and Eric gives chase. Joe paces himself down the staircase. Half way down, he notices his necklace is missing and he stops and it suddenly dawns on him, it came off during the struggle with Officer Farrell.
'Looking for this?' Eric appears at the top of the stairs holding up the necklace.
Joe is hesitates, before Eric assures him he will go easy on him. Joe ascends the staircase and Eric takes him into the locker rooms. The coast is clear and Eric shuts them in. Joe becomes uncomfortable and feels intimidated by Eric's size.
'May I have my necklace back please?' Joe asks, nervously.
'I will, but first you need to tell me where you got this,' Eric demands.
'Does it matter?' Joe sighs.
'Do you know what this is?' Eric questions.
'Sounds to me like you already know,' Joe figures.
'Of course I know what this is,' Eric admits. 'This necklace is part of the once of the secret organization, the Cosmos ran by Carla Morrison, who is currently America's most wanted.'
'You know the Ring Leader behind that Charade?' Joe asks.
'Yes, I've known Carla since 1973, we had occasional sex together, it was never love at first. After spending years apart, due to me being in prison, we reconnected in 1996, for a short time, while she had her minions run her scandalous company, so she and I cared for her son. At the time, we changed our identities. But, when a gang seeked revenge and threatened to expose Carla and myself, we faked our death's and went our separate ways. I ended up in Florida and Carla was kept anonymously out of site, until she retrieved her son, Jack back from my once deceased best friends Husband and wife. I knew Carla had Jacks adoption by Harry and Tina set up, because she knew it would be easy to retrieve him , when the time was right. He was psychic. She never mentioned who the father was, I knew I never was,' Eric explains.
'Wow, that is incredible man,' Joe chuckles. 'I bet this precinct doesn't even know about this.'
'No way in hell, would I ever let anybody know about me,' Eric adds. 'My real name is Hank Willis, not Eric Lance, Carla concealed my identity, as I have faked my death and began a new life, but my attempts at that have been halted by interference from my past and a reporter from the New York Times, who is threatening to kill his editor if I don't fess up in the next twenty four hours. But, that's not all, I have recently crossed paths with Carla's sister, Bethany, who lives on Long Island with Harry Wilson and his daughter......What have I just done? I can't believe I just admitted all that to you......It's you isn't it? You have a special power don't you? What is it?'
'Without the necklace, I can force people to tell the truth, even if they don't want to,' Joe confesses. 'It's an involuntary act, that is out of your control, but voluntarily I can control.'
'Did the Cosmos give you this power?' Eric wonders.
'No, my power runs in the line of my family generation since the so called myth began on 1901,' Joe claims. 'The society had nothing to do with it. Man your confession to me could leave you in a pickle.'
'Are you threatening to expose me?' Eric frowns. 'Do you really think I can just let you walk out of here?'
'What are you gonna do, HANK? Kill me?' Joe attempts to provoke.
'I could do, I have done before to protect myself,' Eric considers.
Joe quivers in his shoes, as he fears Eric could do just that.
'But, I'm not,' Eric whispers, handing back the necklace to Joe, who takes lightly from Eric, who seems to mellow.
'You could be useful to me, very useful and I'll make it worth your while,' Eric promises.
'What do you need my help for?' Joe queries. 'I don't need to be exploited.'
'Let's just say, I'm tired of playing the bad guy, but not tired of playing dirty. Chanel Mantel and Bethany won't know what hit them. What do you say to a little trip to the small Long Island town of Francis Bay?'

About half hour later, Eric checks his office phone. It's not been bugged to his relief. Now to put his plan in motion. If he does confess and is sent to jail, he's taking Bethany and Carla/Chanel with him.


unknown lock up. It's late afternoon, Elaina is still chained up to a wall in a dark room. Her screams for help are impossibly heard. Again she calls out Andy's name and she cries her out. Elaina kicks out at the chains that trap her in an attempt to free herself, but to avail. Christopher has totally lost the plot and he re-enters the room, where he holds her hostage. In his hands he hold sandwiches and a bottle of water, yet on his belt, is a handgun. Elaina realizes, she must somehow obtain, the weapon, before her once ace reporter she employed, gets seriously even more dangerous. Christopher kneels down beside her, as she sits helpless with nowhere to go.
'I'm sorry it had to come to this, but I had no choice,' Christopher claims.
'What have you done with my son?' Elaina asks, agitated. 'What have you done with my Andy?!'
'Elaina, I would never hurt your son, believe me I wouldn't,' Chris assures her. 'But, I have lost all sense of my life now. All the people that I have loved or trusted, have either died, lied and shit on me. Like you.'
'I have been straight with you,' Elaina whispers.
'Only when you thought you could trust me, but then I trusted you,' Chris slates. 'In my opinion, you and that psychotic ass wipe of a so called cop, were in cahoots with one another. Maybe you too were having an affair with each other, and covering up Emma's affair with Rebecca was just a bonus.'
'I was protecting you,' Elaina cries.
'You lying bitch,' Christopher grunts. 'Lance trusted you enough with a disk and you concealed it somewhere. Where is it?'
'Why is it so important to you?' Elaina queries.
'Because my father, Jeff, died, trying to send a warning on something possibly critical, on a disk and it went missing,' Chris explains. 'Could this be the disk I'm looking for?'
'I have no idea what is on it?' Elaina replies.
'You f***** liar,' Chris blasts. 'Why are you so intent on protecting a murderer?'
'Because he doesn't trust his girlfriend,' Elaina informs.
'What has she found out his true colours, then?' Chris figures.
'I don't think it's like that,' Elaina shrugs.
Chris kneels beside a terrified a Elaina and he gives of a smug smile.
'Is he humping you?' Chris cruelly remarks.
'You dirty Bastard, how could even think that of me?' Elaina yells. 'You should know me by now.'
'Yeah, like I knew my wife, before she was f***** my cousin, but I why should I care? I'm just a soft touch and I let anybody walk over me,' Chris sarcastically answers.
'I'm not walking over you Chris, I'm on your side,' Elaina promises.
'Yeah right. The last decent person that was on my side, died getting shot in a burning building, whilst protecting a woman, who betrayed my mother the night she died,' Chris shouts.
'Then you know how I feel, not knowing where my son is,' Elaina worries.
'He will be irrelevant to you anyway, if Lance f***'s up,' Chris horribly answers.
'That's not you talking Chris,' Elaina insists. 'You're not thinking straight. There's a lot of good in you Chris.......'
'Shut up!!' Chris demands. 'Don't patronize me!! I don't know who I am anymore.'
'Look at me Chris,' Elaina whispers. 'I'm your friend. Don't destroy my sons life, because of some personal vendetta.'
'Then, what Elaina, tell me what to do?' Chris begins to cry.
'Let it go,' Elaina begs.
Chris thinks for a few moments and wonders if he's acted rashly. Elaina hopes that she has somehow brought him round to his senses. Chris doesn't say anything as he removes his gun from his belt and begins to chain her, so Elaina can eat and drink. Chris places the sandwich and bottled water next to her side. Elaina notices how tense, Chris grasps the weapon. He glances back and forth at Elaina. It's almost as if, he has lost all sense of reality, forgetting who he is and who he can really trust. Chris stands up and then turns to his former Editor, who await anxiously for Chris to admit defeat.
'Let it go, huh? What an insult. After what I've been through, what you concealed behind my back? For him and that bitch of a wife of mine?' Chris growls. 'I'm sorry Elaina, but I've come too far. If my life is over, then I've got nothing to lose, if I can't find out what's on that disk. In truth, you know relying on a murderer isn't always a good idea.'
'I guess that's easy for you to say, when you claim you have nothing to lose,' Elaina snaps.
'You know, since you mentioned, Chanel Mantel, I think I'll track her down,' Chris figures.
'I wouldn't advise that,' Elaina warns.
'Why?' Chris laughs.
'Eric might be right,' Elaina considers. 'You're playing a very dangerous game. Just think of your actions as like Russian Roulette. Unless of course your planning to commit suicide.'
'I've been in many dangerous situations and in case I don't make it and Eric does decide to the, the truth, then you'd better hope they find you, before you starve to death in here.'
'Don't do this Chris, you're no this evil, it's all talk. You'll see the light, you'll see. You're not a killer.'
'Maybe I've become what Lance is. Going to great lengths no matter what the cost,' Chris thinks.
'Then I guess, I can't convince you to be on my side anymore?'
'You just answered your own question.'
OK, Chris, have it your way,' Elaina sighs.
Without any warning, Elaina bravely kicks the gun out of Christopher's hand and the two grapple for control of it. Christopher gets Elaina into a headlock, but she manages to scratch his face with his finger nails. She elbows him in the face and she grabs the gun, then points it at Chris.
'Please, don't make me do this,' Elaina seethes. 'Where's Andy?'
'Go ahead pull the trigger, it won't be the first time you stabbed me in the back,' Chris attempts to bluff. 'Now you can shoot me right between the eyes.'
Suddenly, Andy's voice can be heard from outside the room and this distracts Elaina and Chris lays into her. The gun falls to the floor, as it goes off and the bullet ricochets into Christopher's arm. Elaina hurries out of the room and she heads up a staircase and enters into what appears to be a derelict house. Outside, seems to be countryside, and a lake. Elaina looks around the scruffy house and cry can be heard upstairs. Elaina rushes the bedroom door, but it's locked. Elaina kicks it in and retrieves Andy, but Chris heads in, with a bloody arm and points his gun at Elaina's head. Andy watches in fright, at the sight his mother is trapped in.
'If you're gonna kill, at least let my son have his freedom,' Elaina calmly said.
Chris hesitates and hesitates, deep down he knows he could never commit murder. It's not his nature and Elaina knows this. It's time to call his bluff. Chris is so wound up and confused, Andy kicks him in the nuts and both he and his mother make a run for it. Elaina locks the bedroom door and out the house they run, although Elaina and Andy have no idea, where they are.
'Where are we mommy?' Andy asks.
'I don't know,' Elaina worries. 'C'mon lets go.'

Francis Bay, Long Island. Benjamin profusely calls Christopher's cell phone, but it appears to be switched. In frustration he kicks the side of his truck, which is noticed by Rebecca and Emma, who return from Manhattan. The two girls look at him really smug and his face feels like it is about to crack.
'Ran out on you already has he?' Rebecca winds up. 'Can't say I blame the poor bitch.'
'Not that you care, but his cell phone is switched off,' Benjamin groans.
'Sounds like he's getting cold feet,' Emma suspects. 'But, then again, you're a colded hearted Son Of A Bitch.'
'I'd would love for you to say that to her face, Emma,' Benjamin attempts to provoke.
'Funny, you never mentioned your mother,' Rebecca interrupts. 'If I ever meet her, I will shake her hand for giving you up for adoption.'
'Oh and who was your mother, Rebecca?' Benjamin counters.
Rebecca falls silent and worried, as Benjamin hints he knows her secret.
'You are one hurtful Bastard, Bates,' Emma argues.
'You weren't complaining last Monday night, you whore.'
'Oh, f*** me in the ass, Bates and go break some other guys heart, while your nuts are still intact,' Emma threats.
'Is that a promise or a threat?' Benjamin forces.
'You'll find out and wherever Chris is, I hope he's safer than you'll ever be.'
Rebecca and Emma retreat back into the house, with Benjamin laughing off Emma's threat.


Three miles south of Francis Bay, Long Island. Bethany meets with Dominic in a secret meeting and he makes it clear, that he does not wish to talk about Benjamin's outrageous betrayal towards his daughter, Deloris. Bethany states that, the meeting has nothing to do with recent events, and she informs him, that the disk, that Jeff infiltrated into the country, before his death is now in her possession. Dominic is stunned by Bethany's latest revelation.
'Who brought it to you?' Dominic queries.
'Guess?' Bethany hints.
'Well, have you decided what you're going to do with it?' Dominic wonders.
'You mean am I going to destroy it?' Bethany replies. 'I haven't decided yet, I mean it's worthless on a genuine computer. It can only be used on a computer, that was designed by the Cosmos.'
'So what good is it, now?' Dominic asks.
'Jeff Wilson was murdered, because of what was brought back into my possession of late,' Bethany adds. 'To be honest I think there is more to the information on the disk, than meets the eye. Prior to my laptop being stolen, the information on the disk dated back to the projects of Gemini late 70's, early eighties, and then the Cosmos, 1995 to the year 2000. But, there were certain accounts I was denied logging into, so whatever Carla was concealing, she didn't trust me enough. She knew me inside out, no matter how rehabilitated I was after my psychiatric help, she knew I couldn't mastermind a plan like she could.'
'But, you successfully protected your sister, by doing away with Wilson, with a little help from myself, don't forget,' Dominic points out.
'Just like I helped you eight years ago,' Bethany bluntly says.
'That was a tragedy,' Dominic replies, feeling upset. 'I regret it all the days of my life, what I asked you to do. I was so wrapped up in money problems, the insurance was the only way out.'
'The money wasn't important to me Dominic, it hurt me too, to set fire to a house with your children inside. I regret James death everyday and since I met up with Charlotte in "Belle Sea", I couldn't help but be nice to her face. I was so wrapped up in my problems, I wanted to test your guilt and you graciously turned your back on me, to care for your wife and daughter, while I tried to rehabilitate myself. How about you?'
'It's hard Beth, which is why like you said, get over the last year or so, then we can all move on,' Dominic reminds her. 'Do whatever you want with that disk, please leave me and my family out of it. I did you your favour, now give me mine for a change, my wife and daughter have been through enough.'
Dominic turns and walks towards his car, as the winter sun, slowly begins to set. Bethany takes two paces forward with eyes firmly on Dominic, as he opens his car door.
'How is Deloris?' Bethany calls.
'Bearing up,' Dominic acknowledges. 'No, thanks to Bates...ha Bates, that last name suits him perfectly.......doesn't it Beth?'
'We all have our inner demons,' Bethany sighs.
'Let's hope Harry doesn't discover yours,' Dominic sarcastically says. 'I mean, your sexual adventures with your step daughter is at minimal now, the blue eyed boy's, Boyfriend's, Ex Wife has moved in.....Good evening Beth.
Dominic gets into his car and drives off, leaving Bethany a little wary of him. It doesn't seems to bother Dominic, that Bethany has had the disk secretly brought to her, which was once in the possession of the deceased Jeff Wilson, a Jamaican fisherman, Eric Lance, Elaina Carlisle, whoever stole the disk from the Carlisle's apartment and now Bethany. She finds it annoying that people have killed and tried to kill for the information and still are unbeknown to Bethany, due to the fact that Christopher had gone back on his word to Benjamin and has gone to great lengths to get to the bottom of everything in his attempted revenge on Eric Lance. Bethany's cell phone rings she answers it.
'Hello, sweetheart..........yes, I spoke to him..........well, he doesn't seem to want to get involved..............he despises you after what happened, to be honest I can't say I blame him on that one, you did disappoint me there.................how'd do you mean?...............It wouldn't surprise me..........I'll think of something, you sit tight...........I love you too baby, bye.'

Manhattan, NYC, Joe Hayes apartment, 8:00 P.M. . Joe Hayes enters his one bedroom apartment and finds his window has been forced open. Joe is cautious and he picks up a blunt object and scours around for any intruder. It appears he is the only one in the apartment. After a few moments, he turns on the lights and spots an envelope on the table. He picks it up and inside is a tape recorder and a note to him from Eric Lance. Also are different blank tapes, along with ten thousand dollars in cash. Joe reads the note.
'My apologies for the intrusion, but to outsmart the Cosmos, we have to divert suspicion in everyway possible, as they could be anybody. I paid a random anonymous stranger to give you what was required for your mission to Francis Bay. With your abilities and the items I've given to you, justice will be served. Francis Bay including it's small fishing town, has just a population of over 1200 people and there are certain people, who you may find an interest. Here are their names, Dominic King, Bethany Wilson, Harry Wilson, Rebecca Turner, Emma Wilson and Benjamin Bates. You must choose each individual cautiously in any order you may wish. Your aim is to get them to tell the truth, depending on what questions you ask them. Dominic and Bethany, are your main two culprits, King owns a cafeteria in town. Whilst recording any vital confession, the recorder must be concealed in a safe place or the mission will be jeopardized and your life could be at risk. If you are successful, be sure to deliver all information to the police and tabloids, of which this will be become a federal case. The reason being you'll be alone on this, is what I explained earlier to you. I'm heading for a confession, woman and her sons life is in danger, because of my past. If I'm to spend the rest of my life in jail, then those who are behind to all the hurt and suffering of innocent people, must be brought down. Avoid Chanel Mantel, if I don't end up behind bars, I could end up dead. If you want to make a career out of your abilities, I suggest you begin it, at the furthest deep end. Be careful Joe, remember you only get one shot at this and no second chances. Your mission begins earliest sunrise tomorrow, heading 117 miles east of Long Island. Good Luck Joe, be a hero.
Joe places the note nervously down on the table and sits back in his chair and looks to the ceiling, about ten or so hours away from a vital and dangerous mission.
'God help me,' Joe whispers to himself.

Abraham and Elaina's apartment. Abraham returns home to his partially still trashed apartment , as he discovers that Elaina has been no show at her mother's home and finds Eric present.
'Eric what are you doing here?' Abraham worries.
'There's something I need to tell you, it's important,' Eric claims.
'Yeah, well, it can wait, because I just got a call from Elaina's mother,' Abraham informs him. 'She and Andy never showed up.'
'I know,' Eric confesses.
Abraham frowns at Eric's admission.

Kings Cafeteria Apartment, Francis Bay, Long Island. Charlotte turns off the bath taps, as she is preparing for a relaxed soak, while Dominic and Deloris have gone to get in some groceries. As Charlotte is about to step into the bath, she slips backwards and hits her head on the sink, knocking herself out. As she lay motionless on the ground, she revisits the horrifying moments she lost her son in a house fire, of which she feels was always her fault for neglecting him. Her dream would eventually bring a terrifying revelation.

August 1995, seven and a half years ago, Pennsylvania. Dominic is currently not home and neither is Deloris who is hanging out with friends. Charlotte places a pizza in the oven for her young son, James, who is watching the TV comedy 'Friends.' Charlotte insists James doesn't sit too close to the TV and he sits back on the sofa. Charlotte heads back into the kitchen and turns down the temperature on the oven and then informs James, she is going to pick up Deloris and will be just ten minutes. She is adamant that he doesn't answer the door to strangers.
'I'll be fine Mom, honest,' James assures his mother.
'I know you think that you're all grown up, but you're far from it,' Charlotte replies.
'Mom, stop fussing, really, you're only gonna be ten minutes,' James figures. '
That's beside the point, you know how much I love you,' Charlotte says. 'You're my baby boy.'
'Oh Mom.'
Charlotte kisses her son on the cheek and heads out. Charlotte collects Deloris, who seems to be getting really close with another teenager. Charlotte is worried that her daughter will soon get too seriously involved and get pregnant, but Deloris promises she will not be forced into underage sex. Charlotte tells Deloris, that it will just be herself, Deloris and James having pizza, as Dominic is working late. Deloris points out that Dominic has not been himself and looks really stressed and anxious. Charlotte claims she tried talking to him about it, but insists it's nothing. Returning home, Charlotte and Deloris are horrified to find their home in flames and James trapped inside. Charlotte screams out for her son and demands Deloris dial 911. Charlotte rushes into the firing inferno in an attempt to save her son.
'James!!' Charlotte cries out, coughing.
Peering through the flames and dense smoke, Charlotte tries to spot her son, then she rushes upstairs, with a rug rapped around her body. The fire is way out of control as the doting mother cries out. Suddenly, Charlotte slips and crashes down the staircase and hits her head. Before going fully unconscious, she spots a figure dressed in black, head out the back way. Charlotte tries to make out who it is, but then slips unconscious. Charlotte awakes hours later in hospital to be told the devastating news, that James had died, leaving the family in turmoil. The memory of who the person escaping was, has slipped her mind and she immediately blames herself for James death, as the forensics say the fire started in the kitchen. Charlotte immediately blames herself, as she left a pizza in the oven. But, before she headed out, she turned it off.


Charlotte awakes with Dominic and Deloris attending to her and she sits up. Deloris tends to her injury, as Dominic calls a doctor, as he worries his wife has a serious concussion. Deloris takes her mother into the bedroom and Charlotte shocks her daughter, by suggesting that somebody else was in the house, when James died and that it may have been a deliberate attack and that James was murdered.
'Mom, it's just a trick playing on your mind, Mom it's OK, we all hurt over....' Deloris tries to assure.
'No, you don't understand, I remember now, I turned the oven off and I don't think, James turned it on either. I saw somebody else in the house, before I passed out,' Charlotte adamantly states. Dominic catches the tail end of Charlottes claims and nervously heads back into the bedroom. '
Doctor Gould is on his way,' Dominic whispers.

Abraham and Elaina's apartment, Manhattan, NYC. Abraham is beside himself, when Eric confesses to his true identity, his crimes, his blackmailing towards Elaina, Emma and Chris and what his intensions were. But, in the end he trusted Elaina enough, to keep vital information safe, until he conjured up a plan to rid Chanel Mantel. Unaware, that Elaina and Andy have escaped seriously and mentally unstable Christopher, Eric informs Abraham that Chris had taken them hostage in order for him to admit his sins, or Christopher would no longer be the good guy. Abraham is so freaked out, he draws his gun on Eric.
'You f***** psycho, what have you done with my family?!' Abraham shouts.
'I haven't done anything to them, I swear. I just told you, who's got them, It's Christopher,' Eric answers, with his hands up.
'Liar, Christopher would never do that, I know him,' Abraham snaps.
'Well, obviously you don't know him as well as you liked to think,' Eric argues. 'He's got it in his head that everyone is against him. I admit, when push comes to shove I have to protect my secrets, no matter what the cost. I wish it didn't have to be that way, but that's the story of my life. But, if you let me help you now, you'll be helping another friend of yours Harry. I knew Harry when he was in high school and I was best friends with his brother Jeff. So if we work together, we can get Elaina and Andy back and protect Harry. I don't care what happens to me after, I can rot in jail for all I care, but please help me now.'
Abraham is eventually convinced and lowers his gun, but is states, that once everything is done, Eric will be punished.
The phone suddenly rings and Abraham answers it. It's Elaina calling from a phone booth, with Andy by her side. Abraham asks her where she is and Elaina scared, informs her husband that they are in Saratoga Springs, a few miles away from where she and Christopher were held hostage. Abraham encourages to Elaina to sit tight and that he's on his way to get her. Abraham and Eric head to the car and are tailed.

Joe Hayes, Apartment. Joe looks at a picture of himself with his family. The memories of living amongst gangsters and having the ability to force people to tell the truth, cost him his fathers his life, his mother her health and his brother is fighting out in Afghanistan. All alone, he is given a task to force the truth of certain people who aren't what them seem, that live in Francis Bay, 117 miles east.

Saratoga Springs, about two hours later, Eric and Abraham reach the springs, and they enter a motel and asks the manager if his wife and son have been present? Without warning, Christopher stumbles in and is met by the man he hates most and the husband of the wife, he kidnapped. Abraham punches Christopher to the floor and draws his gun, while Eric tries to calm him.
'If anything happens to my wife and son, I will shoot you between the eyes,' Abraham threats.
'Told him everything huh, Eric, bet it took a lot of guts?' Christopher humiliates.
'All I care about is my family, you'll both be going to jail when this is all over,' Abraham promises. Abraham drags a wounded Christopher up and hand cuffs him and escorts him to the car and locks him in.
'You handcuff me, but not that psycho, where's your loyalty Abs?' Christopher moans. 'I'm only loyal to the ones I love. Lately, that's been a mind wipe for you.'
Suddenly, Elaina calls out to Abraham from a small Café north of the motel. Abraham runs to his wife and son embraces them. Christopher gives Eric evil stares. Elaina attempts to convince Abraham not send Chris to jail and needs psychotherapy instead. A hoodie asks Eric for a light, then without warning taser's him unconscious and kidnaps both him and Chris in Abraham's car. Abraham attempts to stop the runaway vehicle, by drawing his gun, but is mowed down in front of a horrified Elaina and Andy. The car drives off into the distance, leaving Elaina grasping her seriously injured and unconscious soul mate.

Eric Lance Apartment, Manhattan, NYC. Bethany arrives at Eric's apartment and finds the front door ajar. She pushes it open and discovers it ransacked. Bethany immediately suspects Christopher who is now AWOL, has ransacked the apartment in search of the disk, that is now in her possession. Footsteps are then heard coming down the hall and she quickly hides in the bathroom. It's a neighbour who immediately notices the break in and rushes to call the police. Bethany makes herself scarce and escapes down the emergency exit.
'Christopher what have you done?' Bethany say's to herself.


Secret Warehouse. Eric and Christopher are tied up and Christopher curses the bad cop for making his life a misery, but Eric argues that both Christopher and Elaina should have kept their noses out and nobody would have got hurt.
'Abraham is probably dead because of you,' Christopher yells.
'He might be alright,' Eric thinks. 'And anyway, who are you to blame me for him getting mowed down? If you hadn't gone to great lengths to blackmail me, when you kidnapped Elaina, we wouldn't have got ourselves in this situation.'
'Well, if you're such a reasonable guy, now you're also tied up, why don't you tell me what's on that disk?' Christopher demands. Before, Eric can say a word, Chanel Mantel enters with some heavies by her side with a smug smile on her face.
'Look at you two, fighting over something, that even I can't get my hands on,' Chanel whispers.
'Why don't you ask, my so called girlfriend what's on the disk, hot shot reporter,' Eric sarcastically asks Chris. 'I'm sure the bitch will be much obliged.'
Chanel walks over to Eric and backhands him.
'He doesn't trust you Lance, just as much as I didn't,' Chanel slates.
'It's vice versa then, where you and I are concerned,' Eric counters.
'You were too careful to trust Elaina with the information of the Cosmos, and somebody else seemed to take it upon themselves to steal it, right from under my nose, now which one of you is bluffing and staging a throw off?'
'Bluffing?' Eric laughs. 'Oh, so you think I staged a break in at the Carlisle's apartment to throw you off the trail. If I was gonna stage a break in, I would have at least done a more convincing job than that.'
'Wilson here, thinks you have the brain to fool him, enough for him to threaten murder on Mrs Carlisle's life, if you didn't confess yours sins to her husband, after all, you are a murderer yourself,' Chanel explains.
'And what are you Chanel, Carla Morrison's lapdog?' Eric chuckles.
'Wait a minute, this has to do with the Cosmos?' Christopher gasps. 'The secret organization that kidnapped my adopted cousin Jack, nearly four years ago? I could have I been so stupid? You both were part of it...........Morrison, that last name rings a bell. That's my uncle Harry's second wife's maiden name.'
'He doesn't miss a trick does he Eric?' Chanel points out.
'So, where is my once upon a time, lover? Eric raises his voice. 'Built herself a new base on Coral Reef has she?'
'That's what I mean, by missing a trick Eric, you just can't see what's right in front of you, can you?' Chanel puzzles him.
'I see desperate bitch, out of her depth,' Eric grunts.
'Well this bitch loved you once upon a time and gave you a new face,' Chanel hints. 'Just like I gave myself one.'
Eric's jaw drops in shock as he discovers the true identity of Chanel. She is none other, than America's most wanted, head of the once most criminal organization the Cosmos and elder sister to Bethany.....Carla Morrison.
'Carla?' Eric figures.
'Yes, Hank, it's me,' Chanel confesses.
