:B4600 (B) - TIME CODE: 46:00 Susanne goes to the phone and dials. EVELYN Is something the matter? SUSANNE I'm seeing if Helen's home. EVELYN You don't think she's on board? SUSANNE I think she'd have made an appearance by now if she was. She waits for someone to answer. TIME CODE: 46:30 She hangs up. SUSANNE Nothing. EVELYN Susanne, there's some very strange things going on around here. First, I was near the bar, and Justin and Lylla were watching this very peculiar tape, video tape, of what appeared to be some strange ritual of some kind, by church members I presume, out in the woods, people dancing around in sheets, all very peculiar. One of them, the fellow who brought the bride aboard, come up and acted very strangely, because he found me there, I think, and came straight down and met with the handsome fellow, Italian I think he is, and they were talking about some kind of drugs purchase. SUSANNE I know about most of what you're saying. EVELYN What's going on? SUSANNE I'll let Justin explain. EVELYN It's a hot story, isn't it? SUSANNE I'm not sure it's ready to be exposed. EVELYN Susanne, I'm a professional, I can't sit on a story when one hits me in the face like this. Are you going to tell me what's going on or not? SUSANNE I really haven't put it all together -- why don't you just wait until Justin is free. He's the one getting to the bottom of it. EVELYN Is he upstairs? SUSANNE Yes -- but he's busy. EVELYN Who all is up there? SUSANNE I don't mean to be uncooperative, Evelyn, but I'm not sure Justin would want you snooping around about this. EVELYN It's my job. If you don't want to tell me, I'll go up and find out for myself. SUSANNE Don't interrupt him yet -- there's Justin, Lylla, Jack, the captain and one of his crew. EVELYN And the subject under discussion is . . .? SUSANNE Drugs were found on the boat. EVELYN I told you, I overheard a sale being arranged. One of the guests and the guy who delivered the bride are in on it. SUSANNE That's something Justin should know about. EVELYN I can be cooperative if he is. SUSANNE But don't have your machine on, not without Justin's permission. EVELYN I can't agree to that. SUSANNE You can ruin everything if you tip them off. Wouldn't be better to witness the sale, that'd be a real scoop, wouldn't it? EVELYN Yes, it would. SUSANNE So don't let anyone know you're on to it yet. Just be cool. EVELYN But how will I know when the exchange is being made? SUSANNE By keeping your eyes and ears open. You already know some things Justin doesn't. I'll tell him what you told me, and I'll see what I can find out for you. That'd be better than you going upstairs, I think. Everyone knows you're a reporter, it may scare them off. EVELYN I'm not waiting down here if all the action is upstairs. I just can't do that. SUSANNE Let me talk to Justin. Maybe he'll come down and brief you. EVELYN I'll give you five minutes. SUSANNE Don't put a time limit on it. Justin's working as fast as he can. EVELYN Jack's probably involved, don't you think? SUSANNE By reputation, he would be -- but factually, I don't know. What's the connection between Jack and the ones you overheard? EVELYN They could be the buyers, Jack the seller. There was something about getting a better deal, though. And the woman who delivered the bride-- SUSANNE Maxine. EVELYN She seems to be involved as well. SUSANNE You heard that Maxine was involved with selling drugs? Why didn't you say so? EVELYN Something about Maxine getting a better deal. SUSANNE That's just what Justin needs to know. Listen, you wait here, I'll see what I can do. I think it's time you two exchange information. EVELYN Five minutes. SUSANNE If he's still busy, I'll be back down. EVELYN A deal. Susanne exits. /ex9/ TIME CODE: 49:00 Evelyn will notice activity in D and spy on Angelo and Wolf again. /h14/ TIME CODE: 49:00 ?"Follow Susanne" ?"Stay with Evelyn" :"Follow Susanne" Follow Susanne :"Stay with Evelyn" Stay with Evelyn
