ACT ONE
1 EXT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - PORCH - DAY 1
EMILY sits on the porch swing watching the sunrise, wearing
her father’s blue sweater, toying with an object in her hand.
EMILY (V.O.)
Believing in something when no one
else will is a lonely proposition.
Some call it faith. Others call it
insanity.
Emily holds the WATCH Victoria gave her father, flips it
over, reads the inscription: “DAVID, UNTIL FOREVER, VICTORIA”
EMILY (V.O.)
By the time my father was sentenced
to prison, the world already
believed him to be something he was
not. I am just now beginning to
understand what that feels like.
DANIEL (O.C.)
Hey early bird...
Emily snaps out of her reverie, discreetly slips the WATCH
into her POCKET. DANIEL joins her, hands her a cup of coffee.
DANIEL (CONT’D)
No swim this morning?
EMILY
Just enjoying the sunrise. Sleep well?
DANIEL
Better than you, I’m guessing.
Heard you get up in the middle of
the night again.
EMILY
Sorry. Still getting used to having
someone sleeping next to me. I’ll
try not to wake you next time.
DANIEL
I don’t mind. As long as you want
me there...
EMILY
(reaching for his hand)
I definitely want you there.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 2.
DANIEL
(he smiles, believing her)
Got any plans today?
EMILY
You’re looking at ‘em. Why?
DANIEL
Grayson Global does this “Business
by the Beach” thing every summer.
Basically my dad flies in a group of
obscenely rich people and tries to
get them to invest with the company.
Starts off with an employee
volleyball game this afternoon.
EMILY
And all this time you thought you’d
hate this job.
DANIEL
Well, jury’s still out. But I did
tell my dad I’d at least give it a
try, so... come back me up?
EMILY
Always.
Emily kisses him, then glances over his shoulder at Grayson
Manor, noticing VICTORIA watching from her cupola. Emily
smiles, relishes torturing her nemesis.
2 INT. GRAYSON MANOR - FOYER / LYDIA’S ROOM - DAY 2
ASHLEY enters the front door on her cell phone...
ASHLEY
-- Let’s set up a tasting menu for
the investor reception at one and
Mr. Grayson has requested that Chef
Perry be flown in a day ahead of
schedule if possible. Thank you.
Ashley hears a determined voice from inside Lydia’s room.
LYDIA (O.C.)
Ashley--
Ashley opens the doors, sees Lydia struggling to get from the
bed to her wheelchair. ALL OF LYDIA’S BELONGINGS ARE PACKED
AWAY, THE ROOM IS SET UP FOR A LONG STAY...
ASHLEY
Lydia? Are you okay?REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 2A.
LYDIA
Bring me the wheelchair.
ASHLEY
Shall I get Mrs. Grayson?
LYDIA
No. Help me look for my phone.
I need to call Conrad.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 3.
Ashley wheels over the chair, but as Lydia struggles to get
in, she’s stopped by--
VICTORIA (O.C.)
Lydia? What on earth? The doctor
was very specific about keeping you
rested.
(to Ashley)
I’ll take things from here.
ASHLEY
Yes, Mrs. Grayson.
VICTORIA
Ashley, I’d like you to cancel Mr.
Grayson’s investor party this weekend.
ASHLEY
But I just confirmed all the --
VICTORIA
Then un-confirm. As you see, it’s
not a good time. I e-mailed you an
updated list of Lydia’s medications;
please call them in and pick them up
as soon as possible.
ASHLEY
(go to hell)
Yes, Mrs. Grayson.
Ashley shoots daggers at her employer and exits to...
3 INT. GRAYSON MANOR - KITCHEN - DAY 3
Ashley enters to find TYLER in beach attire, grabbing a bagel.
TYLER
Hey beautiful, wanna watch me crush
Daniel in a round of corporate
volleyball?
ASHLEY
I would love to, but I have errands to
run for Little Mary Suicide. The
Queen’s treating her like a broken
baby bird. It’s positively unsettling.
TYLER
Yes, well, fear does funny things
to people... It’s possible I’ve
stumbled onto something that adds
an even darker shade to the
Graysons’ already murky waters.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 4.
ASHLEY
What are you not telling me now?
TYLER
As soon as I know, you’ll know.
Promise. Now, you have all day to
run errands. Come cheer me on.
ASHLEY
(a sly grin)
I’ll meet you down there.
Ashley kisses him and heads off. Tyler grins.
4 EXT. MARINA - THE AMANDA - DAY 4
Jack hoses down the Amanda. AMANDA CLARKE approaches.
AMANDA
That boat’s almost as handsome as
her captain.
JACK
Kara. Hey... Where’d you run off to
last night? One minute we were
knocking back Black Dahlias, the
next you were gone.
AMANDA
Leave ‘em wantin’ more, right?
(re: boat, playing him)
So who’s Amanda? An old girlfriend?
JACK
More like a childhood crush. You
stay at Nolan’s last night?
Jack holds out his hand, she takes it, climbs aboard.
AMANDA
Nah. Found a motel not too far from
here. Kinda over Nolan right now.
JACK
Yeah, I know that feeling. You sail?
AMANDA
No, but I make one hell of a passenger.
JACK
I gotta open up the bar, but if you
want to hang out, catch a little
sun, I can take you for a spin
around the harbor after lunch...REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 5.
In the bg, NOLAN strolls up to the wharf, SPOTS Jack and
Amanda on the boat, laughing, flirting. Uh-oh. Nolan hides.
4A INT. GRAYSON MANOR - LYDIA’S GUEST ROOM - DAY 4A
Victoria brings a tray of food in for Lydia. Sets it on the
end table.
VICTORIA
Are you ready for your lunch?
(pleasantly)
Lobster bisque.
LYDIA
I’m not hungry. Thank you.
VICTORIA
Well, you have to eat eventually.
You don’t want to be stuck here
forever, do you? How about a book
to read?
Victoria pulls a book out of a drawer, it’s DR. BANK’S SIGNED
COPY OF HER SELF-HELP BOOK. Victoria sets it on the table
next to the re-framed black and white photograph of herself
and Lydia at the New Year’s 2003 celebration.
LYDIA
Victoria... You don’t have to keep
doing this. I remember what happened
the night of the benefit.
VICTORIA
(beat, then smiles)
That’s wonderful news. What,
exactly, do you remember?...
LYDIA
I remember you told me that you’d
never accept me. That your hatred
ran deeper than any apology I could
make.
(off Victoria)
And I don’t blame you. I’ve been a
terrible friend. The shame I felt
for betraying you is part of the
reason I tried to kill myself the
night of the gala.
DING DONG-- the front doorbell rings. OFF Victoria, not sure
what to make of Lydia’s selective memory...

5 INT. GRAYSON MANOR - FOYER - DAY 5
Victoria exits Lydia’s room to find A MAID allowing DETECTIVE
GUNTHER and a team of POLICE INVESTIGATORS into the house.
Victoria shuts Lydia’s doors tightly behind her.
VICTORIA
Detective Gunther? What is all this?
DETECTIVE GUNTHER
There’s been a development in the
Frank Stevens case. We have a
warrant to search your home.
Victoria takes the warrant, rattled. As the police disperse
with GPS trackers, Victoria stands guard by Lydia’s door.
VICTORIA
A friend is convalescing in there. I
cannot have your men disturbing her.
DETECTIVE GUNTHER
We won’t if we don’t have to. Cell
tower picked up Frank Stevens’ phone
signal late last night. GPS tracked
it to inside your property lines.
VICTORIA
That doesn’t make any sense. The
last call Frank made to me was
definitely not from inside this
house.
DETECTIVE GUNTHER
You’re right, near as we can tell,
his last call was placed near a
gentlemen’s club about a four and a
half hour drive from here.
(off Victoria, baffled)
Mrs. Grayson, we know that you and
Mr. Stevens had regular contact. We
also know that your husband
abruptly fired Mr. Stevens shortly
before checking into a hotel the
night of the murder. Would you
characterize Mr. Grayson as a
jealous man?
As Victoria processes that, a UNIFORMED COP approaches.
UNIFORMED COP
Sir, I think we found the phone...
Off Victoria, mind reeling --REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 7.

8 EXT. BEACH - VOLLEYBALL AREA - DAY 8
WHACK! Daniel dives to return a serve, keeps the ball in play
as it’s bounced back to him for a SLAM over the net. Tyler,
on the opposing team, dives and misses. Emily and Ashley
watch from the sidelines beneath a banner: “Grayson Global
Business by the Beach Weekend.” Emily applauds.
DANIEL
Look alive, Ty. Loser buys lunch.
TYLER
Listen to the new guy...
Daniel grins in friendly rivalry. Tyler, less so. The ball is
served and goes into wildly competitive play --
ASHLEY
Notice how the boys managed to get us
rooting for opposing teams. Again.
EMILY
Tyler’s nothing if not competitive.
ASHLEY
More like driven. Speaking of, you
didn’t let any grass grow under
your bum before shacking up with
His Royal Gorgeousness.
EMILY
We’re not “shacking up.” He’s just
staying at my place until things
settle down for him at home.
ASHLEY
Fat chance of that happening any
time soon. Victoria’s been
especially nasty since she kicked
Mr. Grayson out and moved his
mistress in. I swear these people
are barking mad.
EMILY
No argument here.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 8.
Emily’s CELL PHONE RINGS. She looks at the ID, steps away.
EMILY (CONT’D)
Excuse me a second. Hello?
9 EXT. MARINA - DOCKS - INTERCUT - DAY 9
Nolan, on his cell, keeps a distant eye on Amanda, who is
making herself very comfortable on Jack’s boat. He watches
her strip down to her bikini and lay out on the bow.
NOLAN
You’ve still got a problem, Ems. Or
Ams. Even I’m getting confused now.
EMILY
Don’t tell me she didn’t leave town.
NOLAN
Okay, but I will tell you she’s got
a killer bod. Pun intended.
Amanda’s on the Amanda. Toasting
herself even as we speak.
EMILY
Jack’s boat? I don’t believe it.
NOLAN
Believe it.
EMILY
Keep an eye on her. But don’t say
anything. You never know how
she’ll react.
NOLAN
You think?
EMILY
I’ll be there as soon as I can. In
the meantime, talk to Jack. Say
whatever you have to say to keep him
away from her. He’s already been
hurt once because of us.
NOLAN
Because of you. Get down here, fast.
As they disconnect, we STAY WITH EMILY at the game just as a
PLAYER on Daniel’s team sets up a lob. Daniel smashes the
ball right past Tyler, who misses it.
DANIEL
Side out.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 9.
As Daniel is slapped high fives by his team mates, he passes
Tyler under the net, goes for a hand shake. Tyler declines
the gesture. Daniel shrugs, looks to see if Emily saw his
win. Instead, he sees her leaving.
10 EXT. DOCK - THE AMANDA - DAY 10
Amanda suns herself on the bow of the boat when Emily
suddenly looms over her. Amanda raises her sunglasses as
Emily looks around to make sure she isn’t seen.
EMILY
What do you think you’re doing?
AMANDA
Getting some vitamin D. You?
EMILY
Why didn’t you get on the plane?
AMANDA
I don’t know. I got through
security and was headed for the
gate when something stopped me.
EMILY
You should’ve called.
AMANDA
I did better than that. I went to
your house. But you were busy with
the boy billionaire.
EMILY
I’m not busy now. What’s wrong?
AMANDA
I’m tired of running. I need a break.
EMILY
You can take a break anywhere.
Point it out on a map, I’ll get you
there, first class.
AMANDA
That’s not what I want. I want a
home. I want friends. My name’s Kara
now, so nobody has to know the
truth.
EMILY
It’s too big a risk.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 10.
AMANDA
For me or you? You want to talk risky?
Why are you living in that house?
EMILY
Look. You don’t want to bite the
hand that feeds you. You cannot
stay here.
AMANDA
I don’t remember asking permission.
Now get out of my way, you’re
blocking the sun.
Amanda lowers her shades. End of discussion. Off Emily --

ACT TWO
11 INT. SOUTH FORK INN - LOBBY BAR - DAY 11
Conrad sits at a table with Daniel (both dressed nice, but
casual) as Tyler approaches, also casual. Sits.
TYLER
Afternoon, Mr. Grayson. Daniel.
CONRAD
Speak of the devil. Daniel was just
giving me the blow by blow on this
morning’s volleyball tournament.
TYLER
Not my best showing, I’m afraid. Of
course, Daniel practically grew up
on that stretch of sand.
CONRAD
A little friendly competition is
good for the soul. Which is why I’d
like you both to show me what you’ve
got at the investor party tomorrow.
First one of you to close a high
roller keeps the full commission.
Same as the rest of my execs.
TYLER
That’s quite an opportunity, sir.
And you’ve made the job easy, your
firm’s returns doubled the market
averages last year.
CONRAD
That’s something my guests are
already aware of. This weekend’s
not about pushing stocks, bonds or
rates of return. We’re selling the
Grayson lifestyle. So it seems once
again, Daniel may have a slight
built in advantage.
DANIEL
Tyler’s been living the Grayson
lifestyle all summer, I’d say he
gets it.
TYLER
Ambition vs. nepotism. Game on.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 12.
Before Daniel can respond --
VICTORIA (O.C.)
Gentlemen.
Tyler rises, as does Daniel, who is surprised to see his
mother here. No one more surprised than Conrad.
TYLER
Mrs. Grayson, please, take my seat.
VICTORIA
Thank you, Tyler. Hello, Daniel.
DANIEL
(still chilly from 108)
Mother.
VICTORIA
I need to speak to your father.
CONRAD
It’s okay, we’re done here, see you
boys at the investor party. May the
best man win.
Daniel and Tyler leave them. Victoria sits.
VICTORIA
I told Ashley to cancel your party.
CONRAD
What the hell is the matter with
you? Unless you’d like to see the
fund go insolvent and give up your
marvelous lifestyle, I’d strongly
advise you change your mind.
VICTORIA
The police found Frank’s cell phone.
CONRAD
Good, hopefully they’re that much
closer to finding his killer.
VICTORIA
It was in our garden. They’re
building a case against you, Conrad.
CONRAD
A case they’ll lose. That phone had
to have been planted.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 13.
VICTORIA
By whom?
CONRAD
The same bastard who hid the camera
in Lydia’s apartment and sent us
that monstrous recording of Frank
throwing her off her balcony.
VICTORIA
I still have a hard time believing
you didn’t install that camera.
CONRAD
Sorry to disappoint you dear, but
I’m innocent, on all counts. And you
better start backing me up. Because
if I end up getting framed for this,
I will see to it that everything you
value so dearly is ripped out of
your greedy little claws.
VICTORIA
Careful, Conrad. You should know by
now, I don’t respond well to threats.
Victoria rises and exits, leaving Conrad to mull that over...

A light lunch crowd. Jack fills a drink order as Declan
returns from bringing food to a table.
JACK
How’d the big romantic night go
with you and Charlotte?
DECLAN
It didn’t. Things’re pretty rough
at home and she was upset so... I
ended up giving her a foot massage.

radar.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 14.
Nolan strolls up to the bar.
NOLAN
What new prospect?
JACK
Your friend Kara. Guess she decided
not to take off last night after
all. What’s her story?
NOLAN
Long and complicated. I don’t wanna
come off like I’m running a block on
a brother, but my advice? N-O, no.
JACK
You told me never to take dating
advice from you.
NOLAN
That was last week. Kara’s what you’d
call a “hit and runner.” A nomad.
Doesn’t stay in one place too long.
DECLAN
No problem staying half naked on
Jack’s boat all morning.
JACK
Watch the bar a while Dec, I’m going
to see if the lady would care for
some refreshments... or sunscreen.
And as Jack moves off with a grin, OFF Nolan, worried...

Emily at her computer, reading the latest NEWS on Frank’s
homicide. CLICKS over to the PHOTO she retrieved from FRANK’S
PHONE of “Emily Thorne’s” CRIMINAL RECORD, with a PICTURE of
AMANDA attached. Turns her attention to FRANK’S WALLET, in a
baggie. Handles it with latex gloves... As she considers...
14 INT. MOTEL ROOM - DAY (FLASHBACK) 14
MATCH Teen Emily looking at Teen Amanda’s forged ID. We find
the two of them sitting opposite each other on a queen-size
bed in a low rent motel room. Emily lays down Amanda’s ID
among the rest of the PASSPORTS and DRIVER’S LICENSES laid
out between them. They’re in the middle of swapping their
identities. Emily quizzing Amanda...REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 15.
EMILY
And the reason my dad went to jail?
AMANDA
He laundered money for the terrorist
group that blew up Flight 197.
(off Emily’s nod)
So... how bad is it? When people
find out who you are?
EMILY
Uncomfortable if your lucky. The
nutjobs make a bigger deal out of
it than regular people. But the
worst is when you meet someone who
knew someone that died because of
what he did.
AMANDA
How is it you grew up with a dad
like that and never knew what he
really was?
It kills her, but Emily knows she has no choice but to say...
EMILY
You’re not having second thoughts,
are you?
AMANDA
Only if that check bounces.
EMILY
It won’t. Let’s move on. Who’s Jack

Nolan at the bar. Peering through the blinds at the harbor.
NOLAN
Since when do you take no for an
answer?
EMILY
It’s not that easy with her. I
can’t just force her to leave. She
needs to cool off before I approach
her again. And I can’t come and go
so freely since Daniel moved in.
NOLAN
Whose fault is that? I told you not
to make sexy time with him so good.
EMILY
Nolan, please. Just try to run
interference with Jack until I
figure something out.
NOLAN
Fine. But only because I don’t want
to see him get emotionally creamed
again. Or worse.
As Nolan hangs up, his other line rings. He answers. To hear:

Tyler has Lydia’s shredded and taped together speech (seen in
the recap). He tucks the speech in his pocket, grabs a jacket
off a freestanding men’s clothes valet. Puts it on. Checks
himself in the mirror as Ashley enters.

not to stand you up this time.
Ashley opens it. A designer couture dress inside. Delighted:

Are you out of your mind? Do you
know how expensive this is?

20 EXT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - DAY 20
A KNOCK. Emily is taken aback as she opens the door to --
EMILY
Victoria, what a surprise.
(standing in the door)
Daniel’s not here, but he should be
back shortly.
VICTORIA
Actually, I came to speak with you.
May I come in?
Emily holds the door open, welcoming her. VICTORIA PAUSES AT
THE THRESHOLD-- This is the first time she’s been in the
house since she betrayed David. Ghosts all around. She feels
them. IT sparks a mini-flashback:
21 INT. AMANDA’S BEACH HOUSE - NIGHT - (FLASHBACK) 21
From 104: Rain pours down outside. YOUNG VICTORIA sneaks into
the room and finds David’s computer. Picks it up and carries
it back to the porch. A lightning strike illuminates FRANK,
waiting beyond the threshold. She passes the computer to him.
The lightning passes and Frank is plunged back into darkness.
22 INT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - DAY - (OUT OF FLASHBACK) 22
Victoria holds it together, as Emily walks into the house,
turns. Victoria remains at the door, takes a few uneasy steps
inside --
EMILY
Would you like to sit down?REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 19.
VICTORIA
No, thank you. I know I don’t have
to tell you that things between
Daniel and myself have been strained
ever since you entered the picture.
EMILY
And I hope you know that I have
never had any intention of coming
between you and your son.
VICTORIA
And yet here we are. What exactly
are your intentions?
EMILY
Same as Daniel’s. To be happy. May
I ask... what is it about me that
troubles you so much?
Victoria stares into Emily’s eyes, questioning that herself.
VICTORIA
Call it maternal instinct.
EMILY
Okay. I understand why you might not
want to trust me. I wasn’t exactly
forthcoming about my juvenile
record, but truly, it’s embarrassing
and has nothing to do with who I am
today. We all have something in our
past we wish we could change, right?
Victoria looks around David’s house, knows this better than
anyone. Then, with just enough bite:
VICTORIA
Don’t hurt my son, Emily. If you
do, you’ll live to regret it.
EMILY
The last thing I want is to see Daniel
injured in any way. Assuming you feel
the same way, I think it’s time you
and I worked out our differences.
VICTORIA
I couldn’t agree more. For Daniel’s
sake.
Victoria turns to leave. On her way out, she looks to the
stairs, stirring another FLASHBACK to the morning after the
rainstorm in 104, the night she took David’s laptop.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 20.
23 INT. AMANDA’S BEACH HOUSE - MORNING - (FLASHBACK) 23
Young Victoria, in her white dress, walks down the stairs to
find DAVID searching for something.
VICTORIA
Did you lose something?
DAVID CLARKE
My PC. I could have sworn I brought
it home...
VICTORIA
Perhaps you left it at the office.
DAVID CLARKE
Maybe...
(moves to her, takes her
in his arms)
Stay for breakfast? It’s time
Amanda got to know you. She’s a
smart kid; I’ve hated having to
keep this from her.
VICTORIA
I wish I could, but I still haven’t
told Daniel I’m leaving his father,
so... I’m afraid we’ll have to keep
this a secret just a little while
longer.
And OFF Victoria, knowing that it’s only a matter of days...
24 INT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - DAY (OUT OF FLASHBACK) 24
Victoria snaps back. Emily eyes her, so sincerely --
EMILY
Victoria, I’m glad we had this
talk. I’d like to make things right
between us. Especially since
there’s a chance we could be family
someday.
That thought sickens Victoria, she exits. Off Emily, very
aware she’s turning the knife even deeper.

Emily pours a glass of wine as Daniel unpacks groceries.
DANIEL

The volleyball game? You
disappeared without saying a word.
EMILY
I’m sorry, Detective Gunther asked me
to go down and give a written statement
about the night Frank was killed. I
didn’t want to ruin your fun.
DANIEL
They need me to vouch for your
whereabouts?
EMILY
I don’t think so. But thanks. Seems
they’ve moved on to other suspects.
DANIEL
The fact that they even suspected
you at all... I don’t think I’ll
ever forgive my mother for putting
you through that.
Emily hands Daniel a glass of sparkling water.
EMILY
She came by this afternoon.
DANIEL
To apologize?
EMILY
Sort of.
DANIEL
Sort of isn’t good enough.

Tyler hands Nolan his credit card. Nolan glares.
TYLER
Thanks for the use of your card. A
man’s clothes speak volumes.
NOLAN
So do his actions. By my estimation,
that makes you a common thief.
TYLER
Then by the same logic, it also
makes you a liar. You said you
wanted to help me up the ladder.
NOLAN
You don’t want to play this game

actually think I’m as stupid as the
rest of the people you’re conning?

AMANDA
Sorry. I like it here.

She told me about you, you know.
Said you used to visit her father

NOLAN
Well your pal Emily’s always a
little selective about what she
chooses to tell you. In case you

gone. And when Emily wants someone
gone, trust me, they go. Usually in
spectacular fashion.
AMANDA
In case you haven’t noticed, I do

wants me gone, she might want to
consider the ripple effect.

Biggest mistake I made in all this

She will. You’re going to see to it.

admirable all at the same time.
TYLER
What is it you want Nolan? You
wouldn’t have come down here if you
didn’t have something in mind.
Nolan spots Emily with Daniel, she nods back to him.
NOLAN
Played like a fiddle. What say we
continue this negotiation in private?
TYLER
Follow me.
Emily watches as Nolan and Tyler angle toward the pool house.
Victoria takes a breath as she approaches Emily and Daniel.
VICTORIA
You do make a very handsome couple, *
no denying that. *
DANIEL
Is that really your best attempt at
saying you’re sorry?
VICTORIA
No. I’m afraid the strain of things
with your father has gotten to me.
My apologies, Emily. I hope you can
forgive me.
EMILY
Apology accepted.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 39.
VICTORIA
Thank you, dear.
EMILY
I’ll leave you two alone.
(sotto to Daniel)
Be nice to your mother. She’s the
only one you’ll ever have.
Emily smiles herself away. As she heads into the house...
VICTORIA
I can see how happy she makes you, *
Daniel. That said, I hope you’ll consider *
returning home for the remainder of the *
summer. With your father gone, I feel *
like a ghost in this house.
DANIEL
You’ll be okay, Mom, I’m just down *
the beach. *
CONRAD (O.C.) *
Daniel. *
They look over to Conrad, holding court with two investors, *
waving Daniel over to him. As Daniel joins his father, OFF *

46 INT. GRAYSON MANOR - POOL HOUSE - DAY 46
Nolan and Tyler are alone. Nolan holds all the cards.
NOLAN
If I cut a check to you tonight,
I’m doing it with a few conditions.
TYLER
Whatever you want.
NOLAN
Don’t ever lie to me or steal from
me again.
TYLER
You have my word.
NOLAN
Gonna need a little more than that.
I want us to spend more “quality”
time together.
TYLER
Of course. I’m at your service.
NOLAN
Good. I’ll have my guy wire the
funds next week.REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 40.
TYLER
Perfect. You won’t regret it.
Through the window, Nolan sees someone approaching, so --
NOLAN
Hello? A little thank you?
Tyler realizes, goes to him. Puts on a smile.
TYLER
Of course. Twenty million of them.
Tyler plants a big kiss on Nolan. CRASH. Two full martinis
drop to the floor and shatter simultaneously.
ASHLEY (O.C.)
Oh my god.
They turn to find Ashley standing in the entrance, empty
handed. Busted. Nolan waves and grins.
NOLAN
Hey Ash, love the dress.
Ashley is dumbfounded. She gasps, then hurries out.
TYLER
Ashley, wait!
Tyler follows after her. Once he’s gone, Nolan quickly finds
the pants Tyler was wearing at his house. Nolan reaches in
the pockets and finds the taped together SPEECH. Bingo.
47 INT. GRAYSON MANOR - CONSERVATORY - DAY 47
Tyler catches up to Ashley as she hustles through the party. *
The exchange is done without people around. *
TYLER
Let me explain.
ASHLEY
What I just saw doesn’t need an *
explanation.
TYLER
It’s not what you’re thinking. *
ASHLEY
Clearly I haven’t been thinking *
since the minute I met you. I’m such *
an idiot. And you’re a bastard. *REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 41.
TYLER *
No, I’m whatever I need to be *
whenever I need to be it. I thought *
we agreed to step up our game. *
ASHLEY *
(calling him out) *
I didn’t realize you meant a game *
of tonsil hockey with Nolan Ross. *
TYLER *
Small price to pay for his $20 *
Million dollars. The real question *
is: what are you doing? All I see
is, “Yes, Mrs. Grayson, of course,
Mrs. Grayson.” You really want to be *
her lackey the rest of your life? *
ASHLEY
Of course not.
TYLER
(encouraging, almost earnest) *
Then stop acting like one and get *
in the game like everyone else. *
CONRAD (O.C.) *
(joining them) *
There you are. Ashley. Mind if I *
steal this gentleman away? *
ASHLEY *
Please do. *
As Tyler heads off with Conrad. Off Ashley --

CONRAD
Daniel, Mr. Takeda had nothing but
the best to say about you. However,
he’s not willing to commit just yet.
Tyler? Congratulations. I just spoke
to Nolan Ross, who will be buying in
for twenty million.
TYLER
That’s terrific news, sir.
CONRAD
You’ll have your commission check
as soon as he wires the funds over.
Don’t spend it all in one place.
TYLER
I won’t, sir. Thank you, sir.
(whispers to Daniel)
Side out, bitch.
Daniel gives him a look of surprise. Off Tyler’s arrogance --
49 EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN - ABOARD THE AMANDA - DAY 49
Amanda is at the captain’s wheel alone, taking in the power
of the wind and the sea. Jack comes up from below deck (or
along the side of the ship), smiles.
JACK
How you doing? Want me to take over?
AMANDA
Hm-mm. Feels good to actually be in
control of something, you know?
JACK
Yeah. Whenever I’m out here, I get
a sense of freedom I never feel
when I’m on shore. Like I’m exactly
where I’m supposed to be.
AMANDA
I can’t tell you the last time I
felt either one of those things.
He comes up close to her.
JACK
Any time you want to take her out,
she’s right here... So am I.
As Amanda thinks about her current situation, tears well up
in her eyes. Jack notices. She quickly wipes them away.You can also read
