Domestic Disturbance Page #4

David, phone call,

line seven

Hold on

Stevens

It's the garage

Okay, go on

There was

No visible evidence at

all at the brickworks

or, for that matter,

in your truck

Keys are at the front desk

You all should go home

Danny, let's go home

I'm not going home

with him

Danny, we are going to

go home and talk about this

okay?

Dad, please don't make

me go home

Susan, let him come

home with me

No, Frank, every time he

has a problem,

he comes

running to you

I want him to come

home now

Dad, don't make me go

Jesus, Danny,

knock it off !

Dad ? You don't believe

me, either ?

You're asleep right now

This is a dream

You're dreaming that

someone's got their

hand over your mouth and

it's hard to breathe

and you can't wake up,

can you?

can you?

Now, you had a dream

about a murder

And it felt like it was

real

It's only a nightmare

You don't want every

moment of your life to

be a big screaming nightmare

do you, Danny?

Better wake up

He wants me to pick them up?

Have the port lights come in

I'm expecting them this

afternoon

All right, call and

make sure

Hey, how you doing ?

Good morning

How are you, Frank?

Rick

You got a hell of a

place here

Frank, I just want to let

you know I'm not taking

what happened last

night personally

I just look forward to

getting past it

But on to something more

positive here, I do have

the start- up money for

the Seacliff, $50,000

When do you think you

could start building the boats?

You know, when I went

home last night,

I couldn't

even think about sleeping

But here's what I did

think about

My son is living with you

in your house

And I have absolutely no

idea of what kind

of man you really are

and, honestly, that scares

the hell out of me

Well, Frank, you're a good

dad, you know

But before you start

letting your imagination

Run away with you here,

I'd ask you to remember

something

It's true that you may not

know me so well, but

you do know Danny

and he lies, I know that

He lies to his mother

his grandmother

His teachers, the police

Just about everybody, but

But what?

He doesn't lie to me

Hard as I tried, I couldn't

think of a sing le time

I didn't kill anybody,

Frank

probably not, Rick

I'm glad to hear you

say that

As long as my son is

living with you under your roof,

" probably" isn't good

enough

Jesus Christ, Frank, who's

this guy, Ray?

What about him?

He's your

school chum

he's your business

acquaintance

The other day I saw him,

he was looking for real estate

Ray

Yeah

So now it's Ray

I supposedly killed,

is that right?

I tell you, Frank, trying

to be a stepfather

To a child that hates

your guts,

isn't exactly a picnic

I thought you were on

my side for this

I'm on Danny's side

Give my best to Diane

then, Frank

Right

I just think it's a good

idea if he stays with

that's all

I'm not having this

conversation with you

I know that Rick

threatens you-

He threatens me,

all right

You're so wrong

about him

You don't even know

what he's really about

You're the one that

I don't really know

anything about anymore,

Frank

Do you think that I so

desperately need a man,

that I'm going to endanger

my own child by marring a-

Danny

What are you

doing here?

Come on,

Danny, let's go

No, he's coming home

with me

He's scared of the guy

It's not right

What do you get?

Have I ever stopped you

from seeing him?

This is not about custody

Danny, please get

in my car

If you want to fight me

for custody-

I don't want to fight you

for custody !

Please don't do this !

Hold on a second, Frank

This is none of your

business

What if I make it my

business?

Don't !

Frank, don't do this !

I'm sorry, Mike

Dad, that was so cool

Put your seat belt on

That was awesome

Knock it off, Danny

You know what I've

just done?

It's called kidnapping

How could it be

kidnapping ?

I'm your kid

It just is

It doesn't matter

So you believe me now?

Yeah, yeah

What are we going to

do now? I don't know

Dad, watch out !

You never struck me

as the kind of guy

Who would exploit the

emotional problems of

his son to make a play

for custody

Sergeant, I know you have

a history with my son

I know that's why you're

having a hard time with this

But this character,

Ray Coleman

he was at the weeding -

When Ray Coleman

showed up at the wedding,

Rick Barnes

wasn't happy to see him

But there's more

they had two different

stories about how they met

Maybe Ray Coleman is

a little confused

But he wasn't confused

Maybe he'd been

drinking, come on now

You can go now

Mr. Morrison

Your ex-wife isn't

pressing charges

And, for the time being,

neither are we

By the way, I checked

with the police in the

Bay Area

No Ray Coleman was

reported missing

That's not good enough

Good-bye, Mr. Morrison

Jack, look, it was not

my intention to

fight for custody

But now I have

no choice, do I ?

Right !

Okay, all right, I'll see

you there at 10. Thanks

That was Berman

He's tough, man

But he's good, he's the

one who handled the

whole divorce thing

Just have to figure out

What?

I'm sorry, Frank

I can't believe that you

have actually managed to

convince yourself that

this man -This man ?

This man who only

wanted to help-This man ?

Do you want me to

ignore the fact that my son is

living with a killer ?

is that what you want?

This fantasy of yours,

it sure does give you a

good excuse, doesn't it?

For what? Excuse for what?

An excuse to hold on to

your old life

I know Danny's your son,

And I would never ask

you to choose between us

But I won't hang around

while you take Susan on

in some insane

custody battle

Diane, I have never

failed Danny, ever

And I can't fail him now

not when it counts

I'm sorry

I'm sorry too, Frank

But I can't do this

Rick, sweetheart will you

please hurry up?

I don't

want to be late for this

Calm down will you?

Moms always win these

things, right?

No, it's never a sure

thing, Rick

You all right?

I still can't believe

this is happening

You know, Susan

ever since Frank hit us

with this custody thing,

there's something I'd like

to talk to you about

About what?

Well, I feel like I've done

Everything I can but

stand on my head with

Danny's concern

And he won't give me a

break. There's no way-

I know and I'm sorry

sweet pea

There's nothing for you

to be sorry about

It's been hard on

everybody

But maybe if Danny went

off to live with Frank

for a little while

That wouldn't be the

worse thing in the world

for everybody

What?

I'm just trying to think

about what would be

best for everyone, dear

Rick

Susan

things get really tense

when Danny's around

and the doctor said if

you get stressed out,

you could lose the baby

I don't give a damn

what the doctor said,

Danny's my son

It's bad enough he hardly

talks to me anymore

If he goes to live with Frank

I'd be lucky if I ever

see him again

Rick,

we talked about this
