I Am Page #6

---

You tipped off Ortus.

Then you tipped off Lance.

Then you undermined my testimony

after I left, didn't you?

What about you? What did you want?

Absolution.

[DOOR SLAMS]

I see that the party wants to nominate you

for the DA's office.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

What does Alice think about all of this?

I don't know.

I see.

And why is that?

It's complicated.

LANCE:

Today I made $1.78 billion.

Billion with a B.

X:

And how do you feel?

LANCE:

I don't feel anything.

X:

And you wonder why you're not happy.

When a stone falls into a pond...

...it's not one act.

It's the beginning of a thousand ripples.

One simple act...

... creating a wave

that can drown this entire city.

What do you want me to do?

X:

Make it right.

Get out.

Jake, this is final.

This cannot undo what has been done.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Pick up the phone, Jake.

Answer the phone, Jake.

Answer the phone, Jake.

Jake...

...answer the phone.

Answer the phone, Jake.

[CRYING]

[CONTINUES RINGING]

Hello?

Hi, this is Charlie Lewis.

We have a special show today.

Joining us will be rock legend

Trevor Evans...

...who's here

to tell us the exclusive story...

...that he did not write

the hit song "On and On."

Tune in to find out who did.

TREVOR [ON TV]:

That's a great question.

You know, why does anybody do something

that they know they're going to regret?

What now?

This is not the end.

Not even close.

CHARLIE:

But when you debuted "On and On"...

... on my show a few months ago...

... there was real emotion there.

You weren't faking.

Yeah, you know what?

There was emotion.

See, it's never really over.

It's just all about second chances.

VICTORIA:

Daddy.

Daddy.

Will you teach me

how to play "On and On"?

You know what, sweetie, hang on.

I'll be right there.

- Felt like a phony...

Now, "On and On," now that's a song.

JAKE:

The investigation's over.

You're free and clear.

Clean slate.

How long were you married, detective?

Seven months.

Seven months.

What's this?

When things happen to you...

...and people do things to you...

...you look back and you ask yourself,

how do they get away with that?

Well, today, I got justice for my father.

But I didn't get peace.

So, what's in the bag, Lance?

Answers.

I found that at my sister's place.

Looks like Angelica blackmailed Ortus

with the details of your wife's death.

I thought you might wanna know

what happened, once and for all.

Thank you.

Ask yourself, detective.

If tomorrow is gonna be the day

that changes everything...

...that's absolution.

MAN:
Folks, I tell you. People have come

after Rossdale with everything they've got...

... but absolutely nothing will stick.

Tried to stick him with the lack of arrests

in the Vita investigation.

They blamed him for his hard sentences.

They called him a spoiled daddy's boy.

They even criticized his dating habits.

But what these clowns

don't understand...

... is that Aaron Rossdale is exactly

what the voters had been screaming for.

The only mistake that he's made

in this entire campaign...

... is that he should have skipped the DA

and run straight for the governorship.

EVERETT:

You're destined to be DA.

After that the mayor,

the mayor or the governor.

TREVOR:
You've been waiting

your whole life for this moment.

EVA & AARON:

Rock, paper, Scissors.

Rock, Paper, Scissors.

DAD:

Aaron, come over here, boy.

Meet the future governor of California,

my son, Aaron.

Nice to meet you.

LIZ:
You like her.

ALICE:
One bad choice? No second chances?

EVA:

If you love her, yes.

ALICE:
What's wrong?

TREVOR:
You don't need more baggage.

That's how you end up like me.

X:

The politician. The lawyer.

You can't love by the letter of the law.

Are you a good man?

AARON:

Hello? Hello, where are you?

Where are you?

[KATHERINE McPHEE'S "SAY GOODBYE"

PLAYING]

You're not here.

You are not here.

I have done everything you have ever asked

of me and you are not here!

That's how it's gotta be, huh?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Inside

That way it won't hurt so much

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hey, I'm gonna go grab lunch.

Yeah. Yeah, sure thing.

You know, listen...

...the Sun wants a comment about

that God Water guy getting the inheritance.

- Sun?

- Yeah.

I can't talk to them.

No. Alice quit. She's moving to Chicago.

This is the new guy.

He seemed like a real pit bull

from New York.

Do you wanna call him

or should I schedule when I get back?

When did she quit?

I don't know. L...

I just found out

when the new guy called.

I didn't really think you'd want me

to tell you.

No. No, it's okay.

Okay. She's leaving on the 5:40 flight

to Chicago, Trans Air.

- What?

- I couldn't help it. I had to know.

She's moving with her parents,

drove the furniture back last week...

... and now she and the baby

are meeting them there this afternoon.

Aaron, this is your last chance.

Did you ever love me?

WOMAN [OVER PA]:
We are now boarding

all rows for Flight 712...

... non-stop service to Chicago.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Once again, this is your final...

...boarding call for Flight 712, non-stop

service to Chicago. Boarding all rows.

Don't go.

I can't.

They're calling for us.

She's beautiful.

I can't do this.

This is not real.

I can't have drama anymore.

My parents are in Chicago.

I have a daughter to think about.

And I owe it to her to give her a normal life.

- Alice, I'm sorry. Alice, I'm sorry.

- Aaron, you can't just come here...

I'm sorry.

All my life...

...I wanted to be somebody.

But how can I be somebody

if I can't be...

...with the someone I love.

It's too complicated.

I'm sorry. I can't do this. I have to go.

No.

Me too.

I'm going to Chicago, Alice.

Whether you like it or not.

- We are closing the gates, ma'am.

- Well, close them then!

And put that ring away!

Okay.

But not too far away.

What does that mean?

It means, you better have a stroller.

Because ours is on its way to Chicago.

AARON:

Okay. We're not gonna rush into this.

Good.

We're gonna get married.

Yes. You are.

Why did you help me?

Why did you ask me to help?

Hey, who are you?

[TRAVIS RYAN'S "SALVATION IS HERE"

PLAYING]

I...

...am.

What do you want me to do?

X:

In the end...

... the one thing you've always wanted...

... was the only thing you've always had.

For I am with you...

... always.

Come on

Come on

Salvation is here

Come on

Come on

Salvation is here

Now my faith will shine

And light is come

Give praise to the king

In him we find our life

Illuminate the darkest of nights

Come on

Come on

Salvation is here

Come on

Come on

Salvation is here

Oh, hallelujah

Hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah

Hallelujah

Come on

Come on

Salvation is here

Come on

Come on

Salvation is here

Come on

Come on

Salvation is here

Come on

Come on

Salvation is here

[RASA 9'S "SAY GOODBYE" PLAYING]

I'm feeling like screaming at you

Something

Just to hear my own voice
