:F4130 (F) - /en4/ /en9/ TIME CODE: 41:30 Susanne and Justin come upstairs. JUSTIN Tell me everything she told you. SUSANNE She's so upset, it was hard to follow. Basically, she said she joined the cult after she learned that Maxine had joined. And when Yang Richard came on so strong to her, she gave in, figuring that it would put her in a position of power in the church to marry him, a position she could use to advantage against Maxine. JUSTIN She'd marry for that? SUSANNE Apparently so. She's getting revenge, and she said Helen's after revenge as well. She was very upset, Justin, it's hard to say how much of it she really means and how much is just anger and frustration. I wish you'd talk to her. JUSTIN She didn't say more about Helen? SUSANNE Just about her conversation on the phone this afternoon, with Helen being upset and drinking, about planning to invade the sternwheeler by boat or plane, coming to seek revenge on Maxine. JUSTIN It explains why she's not here -- but it's a damn hard hypothesis to accept. Helen hasn't gone off the deep end like that -- not yet, anyway. It must've been the booze. SUSANNE I'm sure you're right. JUSTIN What about Trudy's revenge? Do you think she's dangerous? SUSANNE I don't think so. Upset, more than anything. And a little afraid of Maxine, probably too afraid to do anything. JUSTIN There must a ship-to-shore phone on board. I should call Helen. SUSANNE Good idea. JUSTIN I'll ask the captain. SUSANNE What about Trudy? JUSTIN I'll talk to her -- but I doubt if I'll find out more than you did. SUSANNE It's still worth a try. JUSTIN I still can't believe Helen skipped the wedding. She sent out the invitations, she rented the estate ballroom , she went along with them writing their own ceremony -- I can't see her doing all that and then not showing up. Backing out of spreading Nat's ashes, maybe, but not missing the wedding. SUSANNE Maybe, in the end, she couldn't face it -- and so got drank instead, and came up with a few wild ideas. JUSTIN I hope so. And maybe she shared them with Trudy to upset her, to get even for joining the cult. But you feel Trudy isn't dangerous? SUSANNE I think she's feeling a lack of nerve now. She was upset and exhausted, not bearing under the pressure very well at all. JUSTIN Could she be on drugs? SUSANNE I didn't consider that. JUSTIN So much seems to be going on around here -- maybe it's all related. Does Trudy know what Jack is up to? She mention him at all? SUSANNE No. JUSTIN There's potential trouble, when those two get into it. Poor Helen. Maxine isn't the beginning of her troubles. SUSANNE No wonder she's been drinking heavily. JUSTIN Nothing like this afternoon, apparently. SUSANNE The pressure of having to face the wedding, with all of us here. She couldn't do it, finally. JUSTIN I'd better see if there's a phone on board. Between you and me, I'm ready to dock -- the party definitely feels over. I'm ready to spread Nat's ashes and get the hell out of here. SUSANNE I know what you mean. Trudy enters from downstairs. /en3/ TIME CODE: 43:30 ?"Continue" ?"Bookmark" ?"Exit" Continue
