Domestic Disturbance Page #5

Synopsis: Susan Morrison is getting married to wealthy industrialist Rick Barnes. Danny, her teenage son with ex-husband Frank, isn't happy about this; he stows away in Rick's car one night, planning to go to Frank's house. But while there, he witnesses Rick murdering mysterious stranger Ray Coleman. Problem is, Rick's managed to dispose of most of the evidence, and he's considered a pillar of the community, while Danny has a history of lying. Frank believes him, though, and does some investigating of his own, as Rick's shady past slowly catches up to him and his new family.

Southport's Man

of the year award

Yeah, well, it's a slow

year, we all know that

right?

How's the backhand

coming ?

Coming along, want to

play tomorrow?

Let me give you a call

Give my best to

everybody

I will

Open up, Ray

What the hell were

How did you know

I was in town ?

What are you doing with

my wife's ex, Ray?

Having eggs

Why did she leave him?

He was great

Told him

I was thinking

about buying some

property here

And he offered to find

me a realtor

Maybe you and me

could be neighbors

I had a good reason for

wanting you to stay out

of town, Ray

You talk too much

You always have

Maybe I'm not the

only one

How do you think

I found you?

When we

were on the

inside doing

our little stretch

We'd all take our best

shots at imagining

Where you'd run off to

spend our money

You're lucky it was only

me who figured it out

or you would have had

all three of us for

wedding guests

What about Tommy

and John ?

What about them?

What are you going to

send them their share?

So? Don't you want to

know how I found you?

Yeah, of course I do,

Ray

I remember this one

time you were drunk

and telling me how

crappy your childhood was

Except for this one

summer you spent on

the Maryland coast

Where there was clean

air and friendly people

I ain't saying you were

easy to find

I mean, I only had a

general idea of where

to look

and a lot of times I

came this close to just

giving it up

But then

then you made the

papers

You know, I'll tell you

something, Ray

You know what I came to

hate most about working

outside the law?

Having to associate

with scumbags

You found yourself a

lawyer to get

yourself off

Maybe that makes you

smarter than me

doesn't make you better

I'll call you, Ray

I'm sick of you stalling

me, Jack !

I told you, Ray

it takes time to put

this kind of

money together

Name's Rick

It's funny how quick you

can forget a name

Rick

Stay out of town, Ray

You don't belong there

Well, I was right, the

doctor said pregnant

Baby, I'm so happy

That's so great

Oh, Susan, I bet you it's

going to be a boy, too

You want to

bet me on that?

What's wrong, honey?

Nothing

I just didn't expect it to

happen so soon,

that's all

You know how much I

wanted to have a baby

I'm happy

I know you do, I do, too

Promise

You just worried

about Danny, huh ?

Ya I'm just first married

and... Baby, it's hard

to handle, You know

for kid...

Danny ! Dan, Don't !

Sweetie, I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I did not mean it for you

to find out this...

Leave me alone, Mom !

Danny?

Danny, can you at least

try to be happy

for everybody?

No !

Danny, please don't !

Please don't let him
