Scene
One: Police station interrogation room. Haver is sitting at the
table, motionless and silent. Bo is in the back of the room. Rae
is also there. John is in his face interrogating him. He tells Haver
that everyone, including he (Haver) knows he is guilty. John tells
him that it would be better to confess now because it "could
get a little quiet on death row later."

Haver continues
to stare and say nothing, as if in a catatonic state, obviously
a ploy to get off on an insanity defense. D.A. Daniel Colson walks
in and Bo tells him that Haver has not spoken. Colson adds that
Haver has not even requested to see his lawyer. Colson asks Haver
what does he think "this silent routine is going to get you?"
Rae replies that Haver "is just trying to figure out his move."
To Stephen she replies, "Stephen, I know *what* it is."
However, he continues to say nothing."
Scene Two: Still in the interrogation room. Rae leans forward on
the table, looking at Haver. "How does it feel, Stephen, to
be on the other side? To feel *trapped* and scared like *all* your
victims?" He continues to act as if he is in psychological
state. She tells him that no one will buy his attempts at pretending
to act catatonic. John asks if that is what he is doing, trying
to make them believe "he is too nuts to stand trial."
Bo, playing along, trying to get Haver to react and thus prove he
is not "crazy," asks Colson if he can get the charges
to stick. Colson is positive he can. He tells them,
and Haver, that his only hope is to plead guilty to save him from
Death Row. John, taunting him, says he thinks Stephen is "toast
either way!"
Just then Haver looks up at them and begins to speak.
STEPHEN: (Calmly
and rationally, yet looking rather evil) Mommy, I'd like to see my
lawyer now. 
Rae looks
back at him, as he is staring her down.
Scene Three: Llanview University. Marcie and other college students
are waiting for the statement about Haver. She talks with other
students, and they are shocked that he is the Music Box Killer.
Viki makes a formal statement to the students and tells them she
will be accessible to talk to the students about this situation.
Viki goes on to say that it was unfortunately that he was so well
loved and no one noticed what type of person he truly was. The students
are worried something similar will happen again. She assures them
that the university will be more vigilant in the future and will
do a better job with background checks.
Scene Four: The Police Station, Bo, John and another police officer
are leading Haver down the hallway. Nelson Kendall, Haver's lawyer,
is there. He warns them, "All communication with my client
is to go through *me* from now on!" Throughout this exchange
Haver remains silent. Bo tells Kendall that Haver "is on his
way to County Lock-up!" John whispers to Haver that he is going
to be there to "watch you fry!" Haver continues his act.
His lawyer tells them that Haver is not going to spend any time
in prison. He tells them that he plans to put forth an insanity
plea. Just then Asa Buchanan, speaks up. He is furious. He tells
his son Bo that Haver "killed all those women!" Haver
turns to him, smirking. Asa tells them that Sarah's (Flash) doctors
informed him that she never will be able to sing again because of
what he did to her. Asa wants to "string him up!" Bo tries
to calm him. Asa wants to know if they plan on killing Haver. He
tells Bo that if they do not, *he will*! "YOU HEAR THAT HAVER!"
he shouts threateningly at him. Nora tries to reassure him by telling
him that they have a very good case against Haver. Asa wants to
know if it really is possible for Haver to be sent to a mental institution
rather than prison or given the death sentence. With everyone, including
Haver, hearing him, Asa vows that if he does try to get off for
insanity he "*Will* kill him!" Bo and Nora are concerned
that he would do just that. Haver is smug.

Scene Five: The police
Station, Kendall is talking with prosecuting attorney Nora, Bo and
Rae about Haver. Bo says, "We've got a *nice comfy* cell
for him at County." Kendall wants a "psychiatric evaluation"
for Haver first. Bo says that Rae can set something up. Kendall
tells them that he does not think she can choose an evaluating psychiatrist
without being biased. Haver continues to remains silent, but he
is obviously manipulating the situation and is smug and self-confident
that he can outsmart everyone and get off. As they debate the issue
of the evaluation Asa motions to John to meet him in Bo's office.
Nora agrees that they can find another psychiatrist at the prison.
Meanwhile, in Bo's office, Asa opens his brief case and shows John
a gun. John is startled. He wonders what the hell he is thinking.
Asa knows what he is doing. Haver needs to be killed for what he
did and he is going to kill him.

Scene One: Police
Station, Stephen, handcuffed, is on the phone talking to someone.
His lawyer is standing by him. Bo walks towards Haver as he
is talking, and stops behind him.
STEPHEN:
They're offering
a bigger advance than what you asked for. (Pausing to listen)
Haa... They say they can't buy the kind of publicity the book
is getting from me being here. The Thing He Loves
will be flying off the shelves. (Making a face) Agents!
Listen to me, (gestures as he talks) stop thinking about the money.
Think about this, if they drop the charges, I could be
free and out of here by the publishing date (starts
to say something but is interrupted)--
BO: I wouldn't count on it!
STEPHEN:
(On the phone) Excuse me.... (To Bo, putting down his cell phone)
Yes?

NORA:
When we're through with you there's Illinois! And then New Jersey!
BO: I hope you watered all your plants, it's going to be
about a 108 years before you ever see them again.
NELSON KENDALL: My client hasn't been examined by our
psychiatrist yet.
NORA: Hah (Chuckles) Oh, yeah, the good old "insanity
defense!"
STEPHEN: (Smug) Where.... I can't be held accountable
if I'm not in (turns to look at Bo and Nora) my right mind.
Scene
Two: Bo's office, John takes the gun from Asa. Asa had planned
on killing Haver instead of letting him get off easy. John looks
through the slats of the blinds to where Haver is. Asa smiles,
"Good a man of action!" Thinking that John is going
to kill Haver for him. Asa cannot believe it when John tells
him to put the gun away and forget about it. Asa cannot believe
that John would let Haver get away with all that happened. John
assures him that they will get Haver. He warns him to put away
the gun and forget about his plans or he will be arrested.
Scene Three: At the Palace, Nora arrives to meet with Rae. Rae
tells Nora that she has decided to leave Llanview [Linda Dano
had been fired]. Just then a man walks behind Rae and places
his hands lovingly on her shoulders. The man says that
he and Rae leaving together. She grins happily. Nora gasps.
Rae nods ecstatically. It is John Sykes, her former lover. He
had heard what happened and came to be there for Rae.
Scene Four: The police station, Haver is now wearing orange
prison overalls. D.A. Daniel Colson storms in.
DANIEL:
Okay, what's this about you wanting added police protection!
STEPHEN: (Turning towards him, acting like the victim,
motion with his hands which are handcuffed together) Asa Buchanan,
the man threatened me. Something about an assault on his great-granddaughter....
DANIEL: You'll be fine in your cell in County.
STEPHEN: (Cont.) ....she can't sing anymore. (Motions towards
Bo's office with his hands) He has a gun in there that he brought
into the police station. See for yourself.
DANIEL: Haver, you're wasting my time!
STEPHEN: (Motioning with his head, looking innocently)
See for yourself.
Meanwhile,
inside Bo's office.
BO:
(Furious)
Give me that (snatching the gun from Asa)! What the hell
do you think you're doing?! (Checking the chamber for bullets)
ASA: Somebody's got to take charge around here!
BO: (Gesturing) Oh, so, what do you think, John is just
going top pop Haver with this pistol? You know what I
think? I think I ought to (pointing to his father)
have you committed!
ASA: (Laughing) Ha, ha! I want justice!
BO: WE ALL DO! And we're going to get it! (Gestures angrily)
But this thing's going to play out the way it's suppose to. Without
any interference from you!
ASA: (Gestures) If I had interferedsooner maybe
Gabrielle would be alive, Bo.
BO: Ah damnit--
ASA: Somebody should have killed that psycho--
Just
then Colson walks in, Stephen is behind him and his guard is
behind him. Haver smirks at being right and what it could mean.
Bo fiddles with the gun.
DANIEL:
You brought that gun into a police station?!
STEPHEN: It's Buchanan justice all over. Commissioner (talking
to Bo), maybe you should arrest him too.

Bo is fuming at
his father for screwing everything up. Haver stares at Asa. Haver
is enjoying everything, hoping to use this to his advantage.
Scene Five: Bo's office, the previous scene continues.
DANIEL:
All right, what's going on here, Commissioner?
STEPHEN: Obviously, he is out for my blood.
ASA: (Rubbing his hands together in fury) Me and the whole
damn world, you sick bastard!
BO: All right, that's enough! (To the guard) Get
him out of my office!
The
officer leads Haver away, but he gets one more parting shot.
STEPHEN:
More Buchanan
justice (smirking at Asa).
Asa
tells the D.A. he got it all wrong. Daniel asks if he threatened
Haver's life. Asa plays innocent and tells Colson that he just
came to see his son and the gun is a gift for him. John lies
and confirms what he says. Colson tells Asa that he will not
be charged because he does not want it to be used by Haver during
the trial.
Scene Six: The police station, John and Bo meet Haver in the
hallway. John stops to get some water.
BO:
(To Haver) I thought you were long gone?
STEPHEN: Not yet. (Stopping) John?
JOHN: (Stopping what he is doing and looking over towards
him) Yeah?
STEPHEN: Is something going to happen to me downstairs?
JOHN: Nothing that you don't want to happen. Don't worry,
Haver, we want you alive (taking a sip).
BO: (Nodding) You're going to be spending the rest of your
life wishing you were dead (turning to him).
STEPHEN: Right. Right, (Feigning curtsey) well, it's been
my pleasure gentlemen. (Nodding) Good evening! Pleasant dreams.
He
and the guard turn the corner. They stop and he talks with the
guard. From around another corner we see a man's hand, holding
a gun like the one Asa had, and pointing it at Haver.
