Columbus Circle Page #3

Synopsis: Abigail Clayton lives alone. Very alone. In fact, the attractive heiress has not left her Manhattan loft apartment for almost two decades. The famous daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Abigail disappeared from the prying eyes of the press and the intrusiveness of her family on her 18th birthday, the day she received her massive inheritance. During years of self-imposed isolation, Abigail has had contact with only two people-her building's Concierge, Klandermann, with whom she communicates via notes-and Dr. Raymond Fontaine, a longtime family friend and her sole confidant for most of her life. When the death of her elderly neighbor prompts NYPD Homicide Detective Frank Giardello to launch an investigation, the agoraphobic Abigail is distressed to find him outside her door, asking to question her. Having tried to acquire the dead woman's now vacant apartment to ensure her privacy, Abigail is further upset when her requests go unanswered, and new tenants Lillian and Charlie move in. Abi

are some prescription

medications,

but she was an old woman.

Well, do we know

who the doctor is?

Yeah, some doctor in

Westchester County.

We got a name?

Yeah, a Dr. Raymond Fontaine.

Okay, one second.

Let me give you my card and I'll

just wait for your phone call.

All right, Frank. Take it easy.

All right, thanks, Howie.

Well, the view is

definitely amazing.

As you can see, we're directly

over Columbus Circle,

which by the way, is the exact

point from which all distances

to and from New York City

are officially measured.

The owner completely renovated

and refurbished the entire unit

with all the latest and

greatest amenities.

Top of the line

kitchen by Pedini.

There's only two units

on the penthouse level.

Twenty four hour doorman, concierge.

It's a full-service building.

And we are getting another

offer later today, so...

I think you guys

are the right fit.

If I were you, I'd make a move.

What do you think?

I love it. Good.

Mmm.

They rented the apartment!

How could this have happened?

I wrote half a dozen letters!

I agree, Abby, this

is simply outrageous.

They haven't returned any

of my phone calls, either.

Is there anything we

can do to stop this?

I will look into it immediately.

I need to see you, Ray.

Abby, I'm busy.

I said I need to see you, Ray.

I'm in the middle of something.

Raymond! Now!

You know, the police were here.

In my home.

Of course the police

were here, Abby.

And that doesn't bother you?

The police were here

because Hilary died.

She had a fall and they're

investigating her death.

You live across the hall, so of

course they're gonna inquire

if you heard

anything suspicious.

Once they deduce that her death was an

accident, which it most certainly was,

they'll have no need to

bother you any further.

One of the detectives

left me his card.

Oh.

Ray, how many wallets have I

bought you through the years?

Abigail, I'm attached to this.

It was a gift from your mother on

my first day of medical school.

I'll never part with it.

It's just that I don't

want things to change.

Okay? I just need

things to stay the same

I just need things to continue...

Abby, Abby.

As they have been.

This is a disruption.

Well, if change is

what you don't want,

I strongly advise that

you stop inquiring

about the apartment

across the hall.

And it's sort of academic.

The apartment is leased.

And they're gonna lead their

lives just as Hilary led hers.

Not a peep!

Ray.

Abigail.

You've gotta trust me, girl.

You've gotta calm down.

I promise you.

Everything'll be fine.

Haven't I always

been there for you?

Hmm?

And by "always," I mean for

the better part of your life.
