©2011, ABC Studios 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.

7 OMITTED 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... 12 INT. STOWAWAY TAVERN - DAY 12 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. JACK A foot massage? DECLAN I know. But I’m seeing her again tonight. So fingers crossed. JACK And toes. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 13A.

DECLAN Funny. By the way, who’s the hottie hanging out on the boat? About time you had a new prospect on the 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... 13 INT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - DAY 13 Emily at her computer, reading the latest NEWS on Frank’s homicide. CLICKS over to the PHOTO she retrieved from FRANK’S PHONE of “’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 Porter? AMANDA The boy you gave your dog Sam to... On that, a TELEPHONE RING pulls her back out to... 15 INT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - DAY (OUT OF FLASHBACK) 15 Emily, at her computer, answers her cell. It’s Nolan. NOLAN (O.S.) Spoiler alert, your girl talk with Miss Montauk didn’t work. Faux- manda is still causing boats to crash in the harbor. EMILY I know. She doesn’t want to leave. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 16.

16 INT. STOWAWAY - INTERCUT - DAY 16 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: VOICE RECORDING THIS IS YOUR CREDIT CARD FRAUD DEPARTMENT. BEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE VERIFY THE CARD ENDING IN 6906 IS CURRENTLY IN YOUR POSSESSION... Nolan checks his wallet, his card is missing... NOLAN Tyler. As Nolan blows out of the Stowaway, on a mission of his own... 17 INT. GRAYSON MANOR - POOL HOUSE - DAY 17 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. ASHLEY Don’t you look rich and powerful. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 17.

TYLER By design, yes. He picks a dress box up off the couch. ASHLEY What’s this? TYLER A gift for my date. And a promise not to stand you up this time. Ashley opens it. A designer couture dress inside. Delighted: ASHLEY Are you out of your mind? Do you know how expensive this is? TYLER Precisely why I bought it. (re: dress) Emily will be lost in the crowd next to you. ASHLEY And here I was annoyed all over the place that Queen Victoria changed her mind again about that investor party... TYLER That party is going to be the best thing that ever happened to us. Tyler’s CELL PHONE RINGS. He takes the call as Ashley sizes herself up in the mirror. TYLER (CONT’D) Excuse me. Hello. 18 EXT. STOWAWAY - DAY 18 Nolan, on the move... NOLAN Three thousand dollars at “Dresses by Vuyo?” Exactly what kind of kink are you into, Ty? TYLER The most expensive kind. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 18.

NOLAN Well, why don’t you hop on over when you can, and make sure you bring my stolen credit card. TYLER Absolutely. I have some business I’d like to discuss with you as well. I’ll see you soon. Tyler returns to Ashley, who holds the dress up in the mirror. She is over the moon. 19 OMITTED 19 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 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.

ACT THREE 25 INT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - KITCHEN - NIGHT 25 Emily pours a glass of wine as Daniel unpacks groceries. DANIEL My team won, if you’re interested. (off her) 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. EMILY It might have to be. If you and I are going to make this work, you can’t continue to let her hold this much power over you. Or eventually she’s going to get exactly what she wants. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 22.

DANIEL Which is what? EMILY To separate you from anyone who threatens to take you away from her. (takes his hands) The only way to stop your mother is to forgive her. And as Emily pushes away the irony of her words, OFF Daniel-- 26 INT. NOLAN’S HOME OFFICE - NIGHT 26 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 with me, Ty. Or can it be that you actually think I’m as stupid as the rest of the people you’re conning? TYLER No con, Nolan. I like you. I thought we had a mutually beneficial thing going here. You said yourself you have more money than you can wrap your brain around. Besides, I have every intention of repaying you... Tyler moves in close. Nolan pulls away. NOLAN Transaction declined. Cash only. TYLER Then cash you shall have. All you have to do is become a client at Grayson Global, through me of course. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 23.

Nolan can’t believe the balls on Tyler. TYLER (CONT’D) There’s an investor recruitment party tomorrow at the house. And it’ll only cost you twenty million. NOLAN Oh, is that all? Pass. TYLER (unbuttoning his shirt) Why don’t you think about it a little more while we take a dip in the pool? NOLAN You go ahead. I’m meeting a friend. TYLER I’m jealous. Who’s the lucky guy? NOLAN Someone who’s never asked a thing from me. Try not to steal anything while I’m gone. TYLER I learned my lesson. Cross my heart. As Nolan leaves, he adjusts the WHALE FIGURINE/HIDDEN CAMERA on his desk. Tyler’s none the wiser. Once Nolan is gone, Tyler sits at Nolan’s computer. He pulls LYDIA’S SPEECH from his pocket, types DAVID CLARKE into the search engine. Off Tyler, intrigued by the number of links that appear -- 27 INT. GRAYSON MANOR - KITCHEN - NIGHT 27 Charlotte, dressed for a date, sits at the island, texting. Declan: “we still on?” Charlotte: “2nite’s the nite!” VICTORIA (O.C.) The night for what, exactly? Charlotte startles. Her mother is reading over her shoulder. CHARLOTTE Do you mind? This is private. VICTORIA I do mind. As charming as you may find that young man, he’s not the boy for you.

CHARLOTTE Because you’re such an expert on the subject? It’s my life, not yours. Charlotte gets up, starts to look for something. VICTORIA If you’re looking for the car keys, you won’t find them. Victoria snatches Charlotte’s phone off the counter. CHARLOTTE What are you doing? Give me my phone. You can’t do this-- VICTORIA I just did. Victoria grabs her purse, exits with Charlotte’s phone towards the foyer and Lydia’s bedroom... 27A INT. GRAYSON MANOR - LYDIA’S GUEST ROOM - NIGHT 27A Victoria enters to find Lydia in the dim light. She seems a little out of it. Victoria goes to the bedside, picks up a bottle of sedatives, next to a host of new meds. Lydia stirs. LYDIA Victoria... I need to talk... VICTORIA You need to rest. You’ve made so much progress today, I’d hate for you to relapse. Lydia takes the medication. Victoria smiles, satisfied. VICTORIA (CONT’D) Good. I’m going out for a while. But I’ll be back to check on you in an hour or so, okay? Victoria exits, shuts the doors behind her. When the doors LOCK, Lydia SPITS OUT her pill, hides it in a tissue. 28 INT. STOWAWAY TAVERN - NIGHT 28 Jack works the bar. Amanda sits at the end, watching him with a smile. Declan walks up, sets a bus tub down. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 24A.

DECLAN I’m gonna go get ready. If Charlotte gets here before I come down, send her up. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 25.

JACK You got it, Casanova. Declan rolls his eyes and walks away just as Amanda appears. AMANDA Cute. JACK And he knows it. Okay on your drink? Amanda nods with a smile as he walks off. Nolan appears behind her, takes a seat. NOLAN You’re playing with some serious fire, missy. Emily made you a very generous offer. My advice, take the money and ease on down the road. AMANDA Sorry. I like it here. (beat, then) She told me about you, you know. Said you used to visit her father in jail like a demented stalker. NOLAN Well your pal Emily’s always a little selective about what she chooses to tell you. In case you haven’t noticed, she wants 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 things on my own terms. If Emily wants me gone, she might want to consider the ripple effect. Amanda walks away, touches Jack’s shoulder in the crowd. Glares back at Nolan for emphasis. Off Nolan, concerned... 29 INT. PRISON VISITING ROOM - DAY - (FLASHBACK) 29 A younger Nolan sits across from DAVID CLARKE. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 26.

NOLAN Amanda was arrested again. For shoplifting in a jewelry store. She maced a security guard. Judge gave her eighteen months in juvie. DAVID CLARKE (his heart breaking) Biggest mistake I made in all this was not being part of her life. NOLAN You can still change that. DAVID CLARKE Can I? I’m a convicted killer in her eyes. Without proof, what good is trying to tell her I’m innocent. It’ll only confuse her more. No. She’s better off finding her way on her own. NOLAN And if she doesn’t? DAVID CLARKE She will. You’re going to see to it. (off Nolan’s look) I’ve been keeping journals. They detail everything that was done to me, and by who. If evidence never emerges to get me out of here, when she’s old enough to handle the truth, I want you to promise you’ll deliver them to her. NOLAN I will. DAVID CLARKE You’re like a son to me, Nolan. I’m trusting you to take care of my only daughter. Swear to me that I can trust you. NOLAN You can trust me. I’ll treat her like a sister. I promise. 30 INT. STOWAWAY TAVERN - NIGHT (OUT OF FLASHBACK) 30 Nolan downs the rest of his drink. Jack walks over. JACK Where’d Kara go? REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 27.

NOLAN Told you friend, she’s a nomad. I’m outta here. Nolan rises. Just as he is about to head out through one door, he notices VICTORIA entering from the other end. NOLAN (CONT’D) What’d you put in my drink? JACK The usual, why...? (follows Nolan’s gaze) Oh boy... Nolan skulks off to the side, and out the door -- VICTORIA Excuse me, I’m looking for Declan Porter. I’m Victoria Grayson. Charlotte’s mother. JACK I’m Declan’s brother, Jack. VICTORIA Then I believe you also know my son, Daniel. Is Declan here? JACK Upstairs. VICTORIA If it’s all right I’d like to have a word with him. Victoria heads for the stairs. OFF Jack, WTF? JACK Uh... sure. 31 INT. STOWAWAY TAVERN - APARTMENT - NIGHT 31 Declan, whistling, exits the bathroom in a towel, then nearly jumps out of his skin when he sees Victoria standing there. DECLAN Mrs. Grayson. Whoa. I’m not -- He grabs a t-shirt and yanks it on, clutches the towel. VICTORIA What’s your number? REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 28.

DECLAN My number? -- VICTORIA How much will it cost for you not to see my daughter again? DECLAN Are you freakin’ serious? VICTORIA I’m “freakin’” dead serious. Everybody’s got a price. What’s yours? DECLAN Look, Mrs. Grayson, I care about your daughter a whole lot more than I care about your money. VICTORIA (beat, a smile) I can see why she likes you. I like you too, Declan. But one way or another, this romance is going to end. I’m trying to spare Charlotte that inevitable heartache and help you out at the same time; but first you have to accept my offer. Now, what’s your number? Off Declan, speechless. 32 INT. NOLAN’S HOME OFFICE - NIGHT 32 Nolan attaches the WHALE CAM to his laptop. Opens a video file of Tyler at Nolan’s computer from earlier. Nolan looks closer. Trying to make out what Tyler has in his hand. Nolan clicks to enhance the image and turns it clockwise. Zooms in on the fractured text and struggles to read: NOLAN “Speech for Open Arms. Ladies and gentlemen, everyone here tonight is a victim” blah blah blah “the ruthless monsters Conrad and Victoria Grayson...” (realizing) Hoo-boy. Concerned, Nolan clicks on his browser history, sees that Tyler has been searching “DAVID CLARKE.” Oh shit. 33 INT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 33 Emily and Daniel lay on the couch, feet to feet. Daniel reads through the profiles of the big investors for the party. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 29.

DANIEL Andrew Rutherford. Loves to golf. Has three kids. Worth eight-hundred- and-sixty-five million so twenty mil’s pocket change for him... EMILY I’m curious. Why haven’t you asked me for my business? DANIEL You really need an answer to that? EMILY I just don’t want to miss the boat when you wind up becoming this big huge success. DANIEL But think of the favor I’m doing you if it turns out I’m no good at it. EMILY You’re a Grayson. Making money’s in your DNA. DANIEL Yeah, like mad science to the Frankensteins. Emily laughs as her phone dings. A TEXT from NOLAN: 911. She looks, frowns. EMILY For whom the bell tolls... Be right back. 34 EXT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - PORCH - NIGHT 34 Emily steps out, closing the door behind her. Phone to her ear. It’s ringing. Nolan answers on the other end. NOLAN (O.S.) We have multiple code reds, Em. 35 INT. NOLAN’S HOME OFFICE - INTERCUT - NIGHT 35 Nolan frantically scans Tyler’s searches on his computer. NOLAN The Talented Mr. Hamptons somehow got a hold of a shredded speech written by the Unsinkable Lydia Davis. (MORE) REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 29A. NOLAN (CONT'D) In it, she intended to take down Victoria and Conrad at the Open Arms gala by exposing their role in the conspiracy to frame your dad. EMILY Are you kidding me?-- How did we not know about this? NOLAN As I recall, we were a little busy the night of the gala. Code red number two, the speech piqued Tyler’s curiosity and he ran a web search on David Clarke. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 30.

EMILY This is exactly why I told you to get rid of him. NOLAN I know, and I’m sorry. I had a plan, but he turned out to be a little shiftier than expected. You think he’s onto you? EMILY More likely he’s planning to blackmail Conrad and Victoria. NOLAN Then why’s he hitting me up to invest twenty mil with Grayson? EMILY Greed? Who knows? But if -- wait. You should invest with him. NOLAN What? You do it. EMILY And how exactly would I explain that to Daniel? NOLAN Grrrrr. What’s the plan? EMILY Keep Tyler occupied until we can find Lydia’s speech. Commit to the buy in at the party, then you can defund your investment before the deal closes. Daniel waves through the window to Emily. “Everything okay?” Emily gives the thumbs up, smiles, “Two minutes.” NOLAN This is an expensive game we’re playing. EMILY I told you: it’s not a game. It’s bad enough Amanda is out there wreaking havoc. I can’t have this little twit messing things up any further. I should never have trusted you to take Tyler down.

NOLAN Hey, I can handle Tyler-- EMILY (uncharacteristically upset) Then handle him! Emily punches the phone off, at wits’ end. Looks in the window, Daniel is giving her a concerned “you okay?” look. She manages a semi convincing nod, then walks further down the porch. This is the most concerned we’ve seen her so far. Staring out at the water, she resolves. Breathes. SCROLLS through the names on her phone. She arrives at “X.” HITS CALL. After a beat, an ominous MALE VOICE answers. X Yes? EMILY (anxious, but deferential) It’s Emily Thorne. I need to see you. X That’s disappointing. EMILY (pauses, knows he’s right) Where are you? X Closer than you think. Click. Off Emily, worried...

ACT FOUR 36 INT. STOWAWAY TAVERN - DAY 36 The bar is closed. Jack fills a cooler with sandwiches and drinks. Amanda, in beach wear, watches. AMANDA Thanks for taking me out. JACK You kidding, there are only a few things I enjoy more than being out on the water. AMANDA Is that right?... Jack gives her a playful look. Declan comes downstairs. JACK We’re headed out for a sail. Can you open without me? DECLAN Yeah, sure. No worries. Have fun. JACK Thanks. So what did Mrs. Grayson want last night? That woman scares the pants off me. Amanda pays close attention. DECLAN Me, too. And I wasn’t wearing any last night... JACK Right. You can fill me in later. As Jack and Amanda head out, Declan’s cell phone RINGS. He answers.

Pulls it off, drops it in with the rest of her jewelry. Then takes out the diamond earrings David gave her. As she fastens them to her ear, she hears... CHARLOTTE (O.C.) You got what you wanted. Victoria turns to find Charlotte standing there. CHARLOTTE (CONT'D) Declan broke up with me. VICTORIA Oh dear, are you all right? CHARLOTTE No. I’m going to the movies with Jill and Becca. I need to be with friends. VICTORIA Charlotte, I know this is difficult for you to understand right now. But in the long run, this really is for the best. CHARLOTTE Can I have my keys back?

CONRAD Lydia?... LYDIA (turns, alert) Conrad, where the hell have you been? Victoria’s been keeping me locked up in here like a prisoner. CONRAD Why didn’t you call me? LYDIA Because that witch took my phone. She’s been feeding me pills. I think she’s planning to finish what Frank started. CONRAD What do you mean? LYDIA You can drop the . I heard you arguing at the front door the night she changed the locks. You said she sent Frank to kill me. CONRAD That’s not exactly what I said. Frank may have been acting on his own impulses.

GRAYSON MANOR - FOYER/LIVING ROOM - DAY 43 The party is in full swing. The jazz trio vamps in the foyer. A rainbow of INVESTORS mingle. SERVERS bring champagne and hors d’oeuvres. Tyler chats up a TYCOON. Across the room, Daniel talks to a Japanese business man, SATOSHI TAKEDA, communicating through his beautiful young translator, HIKARI. DANIEL My parents took me to Disneyland * Tokyo when I was little. I’ve been * wanting to go back ever since. * Tokyo. Not Disneyland. * As Hikari translates to Satoshi, Emily steps up.

ASHLEY (CONT’D) Seemed like they came for the free drinks and food. TYLER Tight bastards. ASHLEY Don’t sour, move on to the next. Tyler notices Nolan entering, perks up. TYLER You’re right. Mind grabbing me a drink? A stiff one. ASHLEY You got it. Ashley heads to the bar. Tyler heads to Nolan, who plays coy. TYLER I didn’t think you’d show. NOLAN I’m still conflicted.

TYLER Don’t be. Grayson’s trading algorithms are the best on the street. NOLAN One of Madoff’s minions once used the exact same words. TYLER Look, Nolan, don’t string me along if you’re not going to invest. There are dozens of potentials here I can be talking to. NOLAN You really must have cast iron cajones, to expect me to open my check book after you stole my credit card. It’s shocking and 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?

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!

Just as she puts everything back in place, Daniel arrives home, sees her still on her hands and knees. DANIEL Lose something? EMILY Earring. Found it. Want to cuddle up with a movie? DANIEL Nah, I’m beat. I’m gonna hit the shower and go to bed. EMILY Hey. Don’t be down on yourself. You did great today. DANIEL No, Tyler did great. How does a guy like Tyler convince a guy like Nolan Ross to hand over twenty million in assets in one night? REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 47.

EMILY He got lucky, that’s all... DANIEL Or maybe he’s just better at this than I am. You coming up? EMILY Right behind you. Hey. (he turns) At least things are better with your mom, right? DANIEL For now. Daniel goes upstairs. Once he’s gone, Emily walks over to the door. SHUTS THE DOWNSTAIRS LIGHTS OFF. But a KNOCK at the front door stops her. She answers. To her surprise... 54 INT./EXT. EMILY’S HOUSE - PORCH - NIGHT 54 Jack stands on the porch. Emily steps out. JACK Hey. Sorry to come by so late. EMILY Something wrong? JACK Not at all. Everything’s great. Remember when I told you about the girl who used to live in this house with her father? Emily notices Amanda standing at the end of the porch. She has to do her best to keep her composure. EMILY Yes. Of course... JACK Well, that friend from Nolan’s pool? She’s that girl. Only she doesn’t want anyone to know. Her dad wasn’t exactly popular around here. Especially with your neighbors. I told her she could trust you. You mind if I show her the swing her father built? Emily is floored. Barely able to speak. EMILY Go right ahead. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 48.

JACK (waves her over) Emily, this is Amanda. A very close, old friend of mine. EMILY Nice to see you again, Amanda. AMANDA Jack has the nicest things to say about you. I’m happy my house is in good hands. It was a very special place for me and my father. SLOW MO -- Emily notices as Jack grabs hold of Amanda’s hand. AMANDA (CONT’D) It’s good to be home. As Jack walks Amanda over to the swing, Emily burns. 55 INT. MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT - (FLASHBACK) 55 Teen Emily stands by the door with Teen Amanda, who is packed and about to leave. Tears in both their eyes. A far cry from the place they find themselves today. EMILY Take care of yourself. And thank you again for doing this. AMANDA I’d do anything for you... Amanda and Emily hug. Tightly. Like sisters. EMILY Stay strong. Amanda. AMANDA You too, Emily. Emily smiles. Amanda exits. Emily, alone, shuts the door, wipes her eyes. This is it, she’s really on her own. Alone. EMILY (V.O.) I’ve heard that loneliness is one of the scariest things a person can face. Emily slides the INFINITY BOX out from under the bed. She pulls out a piece of STATIONERY... FROM THE DESK OF WARDEN STILES, ALLENWOOD JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 49.

Written on the paper -- “If you choose this path, and I hope you won’t, call this number first. His name is Satoshi. 011 +81 0452 37 6257... Fukushuu (Revenge).” EMILY (V.O.) (CONT’D) When we find ourselves isolated, it’s a natural instinct to seek help, wherever we can find it. Emily dials the number. It rings. 55A INT. SOMEWHERE IN JAPAN - INTERCUT - (FLASHBACK) 55A A younger Satoshi Takeda answers his phone. SATOSHI Konnichiwa. EMILY It’s Emily Thorne. I’m ready to continue my training. SATOSHI Then it’s time you come to Japan. EMILY I’ll leave tomorrow. 56 EXT. EMILY’S BEACH HOUSE - PORCH - NIGHT 56 Amanda sits on the swing with Jack.

57 OMITTED 57 58 INT. GRAYSON MANOR - CONRAD’S OFFICE - NIGHT 58 Victoria comes down the stairs, enters Conrad’s office. Through the windows she can see the ominous darkness of the backyard. She shudders and goes to the bar to pour herself a drink to help her sleep. REVENGE EP 109 "SUSPICION" 2ND Blue ProdDraft 10/21/11 50.

As she faces into the room and sips, her eyes fall on a half- open drawer. Curious, she moves closer and looks inside: EMILY (V.O.) ...that we come face to face with our greatest fears. VICTORIA’S POV - a man’s wallet in the drawer. Perplexed, she sets her drink down and picks up the wallet. Slowly walks towards the center of the room as she opens the wallet, somehow knowing exactly what she’s about to see: Frank Stevens’ driver’s license, smeared with traces of his blood. She stares at the face of the second man who’s dead because of her... Starts to tremble. She lifts her eyes and gazes out to the darkness of the patio, the wind begins whipping the trees as a summer storm approaches, thunder rolling in the distance. And off Victoria, eyes wide, alone and unsettled: Who’s out there...?
