(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.
