Part 32
|
|
| CC does not believe in Mason's words about Channing. Mason says that he has the proof: the analysis of Channing's blood sample. The blood type from the autopsy report. It doesn't match up of CC's one. No way CC could be the father of Channing. |
|
|
|
CC calls Mason crazy and believes that he faked the test results. He is trying to appeal to Sophia and Gina and then he finally notices that Sophia's crying. Understanding dawned slowly on CC's face. Mason told the truth.
* * *
Mary is trying to see Christy's motives for her escape. What could've frightened her? And why wouldn't she come to them to take care of her and protect her?
|
|
|
| Steve becomes angry and Mary tells again that Steve must be hard on Christy. May be he frightened her. She always runs away when she is frightened. Steve denies that he was pressuring on Christy and then he says that it isn't anger. It's his concern and frustration because he's not able to do anything. He needs to do something. |
|
|
|
Suddenly Mary has the flashback: she just came in Steve's apartment and sees how Christy looks scared. Mary stares at Steve.
* * *
CC asks Sophia to say that Mason is wrong. Mason repeats that he has the proof. Sophia screams at Gina to call the doctor. Mason wonders why she wants to call a doctor. You can have a hundred of them and still won't hear the answer you want.
|
|
|
| CC asks Sophia to say anything. And again Mason intervenes. He says that his father would better to face the truth. The first-born of Sophia, his namesake was not his son. And he sacrificed a lot of his natural children for the one didn't belong to him. Mason tells Sophia that she might try to soften the blow if she can. Help CC through this current. He's not going to. |
|
|
|
Sophia takes a deep breath and says that she can not lie. Mason told the truth.
* * *
Mary tells Steve that he have been real possessive of Christy. Wanted her to move into the apartment with him or at least close by. Steve says that he just wanted to protect Christy and if Christy's been living with him, none of this would have happened. She'd have never met Ted orgotten involved with the Capwells or the Lockridges. She'd never been raped.
|
|
|
| Mary is shocked. Does he still think Ted did it? Steve says he don't think it, he know it. And Theda was right. Capwells got to Christy somehow. Both they bought her off and that's what gave her the courage to run away like this. She thinks she's got high and mighty friends now. Mary could not believe his words. She says that she does believe that Ted is innocent. Steve says that Capwells sold Mary a bill of goods. He has seen her talking to Mason. He's surely managed to charm. Mary indignantly says that it's has nothing to do with Mason. She was in that courtroom. She saw the same evidence that Steve did. And she saw how Christy changed her mind. Christy wasn't acting under duress, she meant it. Ted is not responsible for the rape. It's true that Mary got to know Capwells better since the trial, but that's just showed her that she was wrong about them the same way Steve are wrong about them right now. Steve growls that Mary lived in the convent and knows nothing about the people in the real world. And Christy was very confused. Yes, she panicked when she was seeing someone else wearing the same shirt as the rapist wore. But lots of people wear shirts like that. They're commonplace. Mary says that Steve had a shirt like that too. It didn't seem very important until now. Steve wondered why it is important now. He did wear the damn thing months ago. |
|
|
|
Mary asks if he find it a kind of a strange coincidence that he should have a shirt the same as the rapist wore. Steve sees nothing strange about it. A lot of men wear shirts like that. But there's nothing the least significant about it. And he definitely did not like the direction of her thoughts.
* * *
CC Capwell has a hard time to realize that Channing was not his son. Gina happily says she always distrusted Sophia. Sophia screams at her immediately call a doctor. From the atrium!
|
|
|
| Mason asks if CC believed him finally. CC replies that he doesn't have much of choice. Mason says that now CC may be feel better to know about all the sins of Channing when CC aware that he just was not his son. Sophia tries to stop Mason but Mason says that he waited long enough to do it. CC's shock turning into the anger, and CC demands Sophia to tell the truth. She was already pregnant when they were married? All these years she did nothing but lied to him? And Mason is known the truth before CC did? |
|
|
| Sophia forced to confirm all. She tries to get CC take his meds but CC only wants answers. If he was not the father of her newborn so who were? Who was she sleeping with before they were married? He has the right to know the truth. He treated Channing like a prince, loved the son who was not even his own flesh and blood! So who was his father? |
|
|
|
Mason says Sophia that his father is serious. She should go ahead and tell him. Think how well she will sleep tonight after unburden herself. Guilt-free untroubled sleep alone at last.
* * *
Cruz and Eden come to Steve's apartment. Cruz brings Steve's belongings from his office and promises that he immediately began to look for Christy's rapist.
|
|
|
| Steve says that he don't have to look very far. It's Ted, no matter what Christy said in the court. Cruz and Eden shocked and outraged. Steve says that he was in Christy's hospital room at the morning after she was raped. He ever had seen the fear in her eyes, hearing her say Ted's name. Cruz was there also and must remember it. Cruz replies that Christy explained it in the court. |
|
|
| At the point Mary intervenes. She says that she was in that hospital room at that morning too. She saw and heard the same thing that Steve did. The difference is she doesn't believe that Christy was accusing Ted when she named him. She meant something else by that. Steve barks that nobody cares what she believes. Eden responds that she cares. At least one of them is come to their senses. |
|
|
| Mary recalls Christy's morning in the hospital after the rape and how she called Ted's name. Mary realizes that Christy wasn't afraid of Ted at that morning. She was afraid of Steve. She gasps in shock and when Steve wondered what the matter is she stammering how rude they've been. They haven't even asked Cruz and Eden to sit down. |
|
|
|
Despite Steve's protests Mary convinces Eden and Cruz have a cup of coffee. Cruz and Eden surprises but agrees with Eden's insistence.
* * *
CC wants Sophia to say the name of the real father of Channing but with Mason's hint CC realizes that it's Lionel. He feels ill. Meanwhile Mason purposely trims his wounds and recalling about the betrayal of his ex-wife. Sophia repeats that she loves CC and only him but CC does not believe her.
|
|
|
| Gina is back. She says that she called the doctor and he promised to come right over. Mason does not understand why Sophia insists on calling the doctor. CC tries to see why Sophia married him. For what? For his money? Sophia desperately denies it. Gina is trying to enjoy Sophia's humiliation but CC demands that they both keep still. Everyone just lies! Mason adds fuel to the fire recalling his father about his arch-enemy's child who turned out to be a little some respectable person. And about Mason - his own flash and blood who stood by CC. CC made the wrong decision and he find that it's hard to live with. |
|
|
| Sophia screams at Mason that he is stupid fool, he don't know what he is doing to CC. Mason know what now he is who won and it's been too long in getting on done. CC became the looser now. He's alone. He's sailing on the ship with nothing around but the skeletons of people he used to believe. CC calls Jack Lee. He wants to make the last change in his will. He wants Sophia and Brandon extract completely and demands to prepare the documents for signings in 15 minutes. Gina outraged about Brandon's extracting but CC points that Brandon is not his grandson. Let Lionel provide all him. Mason says he thought that CC going to reward him. But CC does not pay attention to Mason and focuses on Sophia accusing her that she was not just landwith someone else's child but all these years she had her relationship with Lionel, and they both laughed behind CC's back. Sophia says it is not true, and Lionel even does not know that he had a son. |
|
|
| CC says that it's not be when he is not well. Not now when he is going to die anytime. He needs time, just a few more weeks. Mason finally realizes that his father says about his bad health, and Sophia confirms that CC is seriously ill. And she recalls Mason that she tried to say it but he did not listen to her. Mason tries to learn from CC what is happened with him but CC does not want to talk about. He can think just the one thing: Lionel can't live! He does not have to win! Gina says Mason that CC has an aneurysm in the brain and doctors say that he is in short time to go. |
|
|
| Shocked Mason shouts why nobody told him and tries to put his hand on the father's shoulder but CC furiously shake off. He says he will kill Sophia too. She made love with Lionel. She and CC both killed Channing but Sophia should have killed Lionel. She and Lionel laugh over his life! CC shouts all get out from study and left him alone. Sophia, Mason and Gina leave out. |
|
|
|
CC Capwell stays alone. He feels so ill that he cannot get to the table and falls to his knees beside. He hardly reaches for his pills and takes its. He asks God not let him die before all enemies will be punished.
* * *
In the atrium Sophia is going to call a doctor again. Gina and Mason discussing CC's illness. Mason says that he had no idea that CC was that sick. Gina says that she just found out it. Sophia was the only one who knew. CC sworn to secretly. At least that's what Sophia said. Mason says he never have told CC if he'd known on how sick he was. Gina says that he surely did. Because all CC's done to Mason, Gina and Brandon.
|
|
|
| At the point Sophia run in and calls Gina a liar! She did not call the doctor! Gina says that she did call but it was busy, and she wanted to get back to the study because it affected to her too. Sophia blames Mason. She tried to tell him over and over again. He's a selfish hater! She never goes to forgive him for what he'd done today. She used be his friend and no more. |
|
|
|
She and Gina begin to fight and Mason offers Gina not asking for trouble stones. Now they ought to be worried about CC. Meanwhile CC Capwell pulls out his gun and leaves.
* * *
Cruz, Eden, Mary and Steve discussing Christy's escape.
|
|
|
| Mary says that she's going to run down to her apartment because Steve doesn't have coffee cups. Eden offers Mary to help her. Eden and Mary go out in the corridor. Eden thanks Mary for having so much faith in Ted. She says that it must've been awfully hard for Mary have left the convent. And to enter it probably was even harder then. |
|
|
Mary replies that to the entering was not a problem. She decides to confide in Eden and begins to talk about his suspicions. Mary says that she just remembered some things about her time before her entering in the convent. She had the fight with Steve and he hit her. Afterwards he was really nice and bought her flowers and took her to the beach.
They had a good time at the beach. But later that night there was something really strange. Mary's almost crying and Eden anxiously trying to ask her but Mary can not tell what she remembered. Before her eyes is up memories of that evening. |
|
|
| Mary changes when Steve comes in without any knocking. She's covered and asks him to get out. But Steve closes the door behind him then he puts his hand on Mary's neck and says that Mary is the beautiful girl. She could get just any man she wanted... Mary says that she don't feel like she could. She feels ugly. And she hasn't had a date for long time. Steve says that's because she don't have enough confidence in herself. If she felt more like a real woman, she'd be better able to handle men and those kinds of situations. All has to start from inside her. Mary point out that she's still changes. Steve says that there's a lot he could show her if she let him. He'd ever really told how Mary makes him feel. There's a special kind of warmth that comes over him when he is close to her. His words were interrupted by a knock at the door, and Mary sharply shudders. |
|
|
Mary returns to reality and almost crying. She says Eden that she just realized: when she went into the convent she left Christy all alone... unprotected.
Eden doesn't still see what the connection is, but Mary comes around and says that it means nothing. |
|
|
| At this point Cruz comes out of the apartment and says that they going to have to take off. Eden worries about Mary, but Mary assures them it's all right. Eden says that they'll take a rain check and leaves. |
|
|
| Steve brings Mary back into the apartment. He notices that she doesn't look well and offer her to sit down on the sofa and relax. |
|
|
| Mary agrees and huddle herself in the corner of the sofa. Steve knows that when she did leave the convent it was hard decision for her but he glad has her in real life. He puts his hand on her forearm and Mary shudders. Steve says that she is even more beautiful. Just she doesn't have enough confidence in herself. May be if she felt more like a real woman... Before Mary's eyes floats the scene of the past. Steve who does not give her any privacy to change and says the same words. |
|
|
| Sophia and Mason comes in CC's study but he's not there. Mason found out the father's gun is gone and Sophia realizes that CC probably walks to Lockridge's. Mason asks her to call Lionel and goes away to check the other rooms. |
|
|
Sophia calls Lionel and warns that CC is very upset and on his way over there. And his gun is with him.
But Lionel hardly can hear her because Breeze (Augusta's dog) loudly barks. He yells at the dog and at this moment CC Capwell appears in the doorway of Lockridge's house. |
|
|
| Lionel says Sophia about CC is just come in, hangs up and goes to welcome CC. |
