I know this might be a hard question to answer. I don�t know whether you are trying to protect this person or what. But who gave you that cocaine? Carrie: Luis. That cocaine isn�t mine. I have no clue where it came from. Luis: Carrie! I need the truth from you! Carrie: I�m not lying Luis! It�s the truth. I don�t know where it came from. (She looks at the speedometer as she has flashbacks of Hank Bennett handing her bags of cocaine) Carrie: Oh no! I just remembered who gave me the cocaine Luis. Luis: Who? Who was it? Carrie: The person who gave me the cocaine was no other than� Brad: (At Gwen�s Party) Hank Bennett. My good man. Where�s the good stuff? Hank: I didn�t bring it. I thought you did. Brad: No! You told me you gave it to some chick to hold so the police wouldn�t come after you! Hank: Yeah about that. Brad: What? Hank: Well� the police found the girl with the cocaine in her purse. Brad: What? How did that happen? Hank: I don�t know. Brad: She didn�t rat on us did she? Hank: No. And I told her that if she did, she would have to pay a very big price! (3 Police men walk into Qlinn�s House) Brad: Oh no! (They walk towards Brad and Hank) (They stop right in front of them.) Hank: Um� can we help you with anything. Brad: Yeah. We didn�t do anything wrong. Did we? Officer: Tell me where the dead body is. Brad: What? Hank: Hey! We might have smoked a few things in our day but we sure as hell didn�t kill no body! Brad: That�s for damn sure! Officer: I got a report from a Gwen Hotchkiss that there was a murder here tonight. Gwen: Finally you guy�s showed up! Officer: Are you Gwen? Gwen: Yes. Officer: Where did this murder take place and did you see who did it? Gwen: It took place downstairs. And the murderer is� (Theresa comes into the room) Gwen: Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald! Arrest her! Officer: No way! Theresa didn�t kill anyone. Officer2: Luis�s little sister? Ha Ha Ha. Theresa: Hi guys. Officer: Good evening Theresa. Gwen: Wait a minute! Why aren�t you arresting her? Officer3: Theresa has brought us donuts every Wednesday morning for the last 4 years. Do you think someone as sweet as her could commit a crime? Gwen: But there is a dead body downstairs! Go check! (A scream comes from upstairs) Officer: What was that? (A woman comes downstairs screaming) (She runs toward the police) Officer: What�s wrong mam? Sarah: There�s an old lady upstairs in the bathroom! Gwen: That�s Mrs. Barkley. She�s been up there for almost an hour now and I can�t get her to come down. She can drop dead in that bathroom for all I care! The stupid bitch. Sarah: That�s what I am trying to say! She�s dead! Gwen: Say what? Sarah: She�s dead! Go look! (They all go upstairs) (The officer slowly opens the door) (Mrs. Barkley is lying in the bathtub dead) Gwen: Ew. Officer: Ms. Gwen. I�m going to have to take you down town. Gwen: What? But I didn�t do anything! Officer: Did you not just say that you wouldn�t care if Mrs. Barkley dropped dead in your bathroom? Gwen: It was just a figure of speech! (They put the cuffs on her) Sarah: That�s right! I heard her say that 20 minutes ago before you arrived! FLASHBACK Sarah: Please! I really have to use the bathroom! Gwen: Okay everyone. You�ll all just have to use the bathroom downstairs in the basement. Stop at the refrigerator and there is a wooden door. Open it and go downstairs. There will be a billiard room. Keep going until you get to another door and their will be a bedroom. There�s a bathroom down their. No go! Go! Guy: Thank you. (Everyone in line rushes downstairs) Gwen: Now! Mrs. Barkley! Please�. Please. Come out of the bathroom! Mrs. Barkley: No! Leave me alone! Gwen: Oh god! Listen you old hag. I have more important things to do than standing here and trying to get you out of my bathroom. You can just die in there for all I care you stupid bitch! Mrs. Barkley: You are a rotten girl! Gwen: Whatever! (Gwen goes downstairs) FLASHBACK ENDS Officer: Come with us Gwen. Gwen: (They carry her off) Wait! I�m not kidding! There is a dead body in the basement! Let me go! (The 3 officers carry her downstairs with the cuffs on, Theresa is coming up the stairs as she waves to her) Gwen: Theresa you bitch! I�m going to kill you. Theresa: I don�t think that you should be making threats right now. Since you killed that old lady and all. (Theresa runs upstairs) Sarah: Well? Theresa: Thankyou Sarah. I owe you big time. Sarah: What are friends for? Mrs. Barkley: (Getting out of the bathtub) Well Theresa. How was I? Theresa: You did well. Thank you Mrs. Barkley, I owe you a lot. Mrs. Barkley: Think nothing of it. I hated that girl Gwen for the longest time now. Sarah: I�ll see you at work tomorrow Theresa. I�m going to go now. Theresa: Okay. Mrs. Barkley: Me too. I was glad to help you Theresa. Theresa: Bye-Bye. Hmm� now that Gwen is a little tied up. I just might be able to get to Ethan. I just know that the answer to where he is, is somewhere around here. (Theresa goes into Ethan�s bedroom) Theresa: (She sees a picture of Ethan and Gwen) This must be Gwen�s room. She has all of these pictures of herself with Ethan all over the place! Gwen: (In the police car) No!!!! Theresa and Ethan are in that house! What if they run into each other! Let me go! Officer: Sorry Gwen. We have to question you. (They drive off) Ethan: (Sitting on the couch) Well. Hank. It was nice talking to you. But I think I�m going to head up to bed now. I�ll see you later. Hank: See yah man. (Ethan leaves as Hank hollers to Noah Bennett) Hank: Noah Bennett! Come over here and talk to me man. Noah: (Turning around, his face lightens up as he sees Ethan) Oh no. Ethan: Did you say something Hank? Hank: No. I was just talking to my nephew. (Ethan goes upstairs) Noah: Theresa! (Shouting) Theresa! (He goes into the kitchen) Hank: What is wrong with that kid? Noah: Where is Theresa? I have to tell her that Ethan is here!
