Webster suddenly gets to his feet, smiles. *

WEBSTER:

You know, I just realized that in *

twenty years of service no other *

client has ever seen my face.

GARFIELD:

(nervously) *

I don't think that's a problem.

Webster pulls out a silencer-equipped pistol and puts

a bullet in each of their foreheads. They lie very still

and very dead.

80 INT. RECEPTION AREA - DAY 80

As Webster emerges from Garfield's office and then turns

back as if to say goodbye, watched by Garfield's

Secretary.

WEBSTER:

Thanks for everything, guys. I'll

see what I can do about those

Laker tickets.

(a beat)

Yeah, I'll tell her.

Webster closes the door behind him, smiles charmingly

at Garfield's Secretary.

WEBSTER:

They want you to hold their calls.

They're going to be working late.

A88 EXT. WINDING ROAD (BEL AIR) - DAY A88

As Julius jogs steadily uphill, checking the occasional

house number against the address on Vince's letter.

B88 EXT. STREET (BEL AIR ESTATE) - DAY B88

An imposing security gate stands wide open as several

cars roll through it and climb up the long driveway.

Julius, checking the address, sprints in after them just

before the gates close.

C88 EXT. BEL AIR ESTATE - DAY C88

As Julius jogs up to the front door. The circular

driveway is filled with cars. Adults and children are

visible on the grounds; it appears that a party is in

progress. Julius rings the doorbell, which is answered

by GRANGER, a man of about 60; he's dressed in swimming

trunks and sports an impressive physique. He's holding

the hand of a five-year-old GIRL.

Julius and Granger look at one another and, for a brief

moment, hesitate, as if each of them finds the other

vaguely familiar.

GRANGER:

(after a beat)

Yes?

JULIUS:

I'm terribly sorry to disturb your

party and I realize this might

sound strange, but I'm looking for

someone who lived here a long time

ago...

(finally)

Mary Anne Benedict.

Granger reacts; he's speechless. Julius hands him the

group photo of his mother, six fathers, Traven, and

Werner.

JULIUS:

She was my mother.

Granger looks at the photo, then at Julius.

GRANGER:

You're Mary Anne's son?

GIRL:

(pointing at photo)

Isn't that you, Grandpa?

Julius gently takes the photo from the Girl, looks at the

face she pointed at, then at Granger. Now Julius is

speechless -- Granger is one of his fathers!

GRANGER:

(to Girl)

Why don't you go help your grandma

with lunch, honey?

The little Girl disappears back inside. Granger, clearly

shaken, looks at Julius.

GRANGER:

They told your mother that you

died at birth...

ON Julius's reaction, as we --

Julius studies them admiringly while Granger looks at the

group photo.

GRANGER:

I guess you could say I'm your

father...

JULIUS:

One of my fathers --

GRANGER:

(wistfully studying

photo)

'Mary Anne Benedict'... I haven't

said her name aloud for over 30

years. She was the love of my

life.

(shaking his head)

The times I've wondered what would

have happened if I'd married her...

JULIUS:

Why didn't you?

GRANGER:

She turned me down. Said she was

afraid to have children. She took

it real hard when they told her

you died. She even stopped

painting. Did you know she

painted?

JULIUS:

Until yesterday I didn't even know

she might still be alive... Who

told her we died?

GRANGER:

'We'?

JULIUS:

I have a twin brother, Vincent.

GRANGER:

There's two of you? She never *

knew that, either.
