Act 10 scene 1: the interrogation room
Clause: (lean back in chair & sigh)
Investigator: (stand across the room and stare at Clause intensely) you had a motive to kill Stephan, didn’t you Mr. Andrews?
Police officer: you were angry at him for spilling your dirty little secret to your boss
Clause: (stare down at hand cuffed wrists)
Police officer: and the girl is your accomplice in all of this
Clause: she has a name you know… it’s Zoe Mason
Investigator: (sit across from Clause & squint in the bright light of the lamp)
Police officer: (fold arms across chest)
Clause: she’s my sister’s mother-in-law
Investigator: your sister… then her motive would be to protect you in honor of the code of siblings (run fingers through hair)
Clause: (shut eyes)
Investigator: either way you both are primary suspects
Clause: I am not the murderer of Stephan (shake head)
Police officer: (stand up & walk to the door)
[the door buzzes]
Police officer: (open the door)
Stranger: (walk in and stare at Clause) hello Clause Andrews, my name is Allen smith (narrow eyes)
[Police officer leaves & closes door behind him]
Allen: I am a homicide investigator; Stephan was killed by a dart found in your house
Clause: you are falsely accusing me of killing my nephew… my own sister’s son… haven’t I been through enough already (shake head & snort)
Allen: (run fingers through hair)
Clause: I lost my job and my nephew and somehow people have the bright idea to pin it on me
Investigator: your job and nephew aren’t the only things you lost, are they Clause?
Allen: (lean on wall and press lips together)
Investigator: your student Irene left you to be with a boy her own age
Clause: Irene Paterson is nothing more than a student to me, I don’t know why everyone is assuming otherwise (casual shrug)
Investigator: (walk around room & stare at Clause suspiciously)
Clause: I am just her math tutor and creative writing teacher
Allen: you’ve gone mad… you’ve gone bonkers, you know
Clause: (take a deep breath)
Allen: I have a photograph of you snogging her, snogging your very own student
Act 10 scene 2: Clause’s jail cell
Clause: (Lie on top bunk of jail cell bed, stare up at the ceiling & sigh)
Cellmate: (Lie on bottom bunk of jail cell bed, and write a letter to sister)
Jail warden: (walk over to Clause’s cell & unlock the door) Clause Andrews, you have been bailed out
Cellmate: who the hell bailed out this ignorant fool but left me here to rot? (growl and stare at the letter)
Clause: (get up & climb out of the bunk bed)
Cellmate: Karma is a real bitch aint she?
Jail warden: watch the language Curt; I’m not joking around with you (scowl at Clause’s cellmate Curt)
Clause: (grab normal clothes from warden)
Cellmate: (roll eyes)
Jail warden: and as for you Clause, the person who bailed you out asked to be kept anonymous
Clause: (follow jail warden to the front of the jail, change out of orange jumpsuit in the bathroom, hand jail warden the jumpsuit and walk outside)
[Irene stands outside waiting for Clause]
Clause: what are you doing here Irene, isn’t Nolan waiting for you? (pull eye brows together)
Irene: (bow head)
Clause: I mean I’m happy to see you but I did you bail me out of jail?
Blair: (walk up to Clause) Irene didn’t bail you out… I did, I compelled every police offer that you’re out on bail
Clause: (stare at Irene)
Blair: you are running out of time too Irene, they are coming for you… they are coming for her Clause
Irene: I know I should’ve run already and that I’m risking my life by staying but Clause… I love you!
Blair: (pat Clause on the shoulder & growl under breath)
Irene: I realized that I was afraid of admitting it because there’s so much to lose
Blair: as time passes through an hourglass and affection grows stronger, the girl comes to a crossroad
Clause: (close eyes)
Blair: she holds two lives in her hand and in the end she can only save one
Irene: (run up to Clause, kiss him passionately and wrap arms around his neck)
Clause: (wrap arms around Irene’s waist)
[They make out]
Blair: (leave)
Act 10 scene 3: hotel room
Clause: (lay on bed & grade papers)
Irene: (do homework and bite lip)
Clause: you didn’t have to come hide out with me
Irene: I am a target of human hunters and I know I’ll be safe with you (glance at Clause)
Clause: (nod)
Irene: you will protect me because of the love we share, I know you will
Clause: you love us both don’t you? You had sex with him but you say you love me… Elena told me
Irene: (close eyes and sigh)
Clause: things will never be the same between us
Irene: I can prove that I love you Clause… though it’s sad that I should have to (open eyes and take off shirt)
Clause: (stare at Irene)
Irene: I can show you that nothing is more important (pull a knife out of backpack & hold it over right wrist)
Clause: (put papers aside and pull eye brows together) what are you doing?
Irene: (cut wrist, hold wrist out to Clause inches from his mouth & drop bloody knife)
Clause: (hold breath)
Irene: don’t hold back Clause, this is love… Blair told me you’d be thirsty (gulp)
Clause: (grip bed tightly)
Irene: I love you… I trust you not to kill me
Clause: (scoot closer to Irene and grab her arm gently)
Irene: (quietly gasps)
Clause: (expose sharp fangs, close eyes, bite Irene’s wrist & drink her blood)
~ 2 minutes later ~
Clause: (pull back and stare at Irene)
Irene: (take off Clause’s shirt)
[Clause and Irene lay down and make out]
Act 10 scene 4: hotel room
Clause: (sit up, pull eye brows together and glance around room suspiciously)
Irene: (yawn sleepily & climb out of bed) I slept like a baby last night, what about you?
Clause: it was hard to fall asleep after last night but if I did I would’ve dreamt of you (flash a smile)
Irene: (run fingers through hair)
Clause: you never left my mind or my heart… the stakes have just been raised
Irene: I love you Clause and I refuse to let anything happen to us (glance over shoulder at Clause)
Clause: (stare at Irene & tilt head to the right)
Irene: I promise not to let what we have die
Stranger: (kick door open) isn’t it a shame when you come second to the woman you love?
Irene: (stand behind Clause and tightly grip his shoulders)
Stranger: you love a human and she puts a werewolf above you
Clause: you must expect an easy defeat human hunter (stand up)
Stranger: (close the front door)
Irene: (fall to knees, crawl behind bed and hide)
Clause: you are stupid for coming here thinking you’d have an easy target
Stranger: well Clause, having you guard her won’t be a problem… I’ll kill you both (lunge forward)
Irene: (hold breath)
Stranger: your time has been cut short as well as hers
Clause: that’s where you’re wrong (pull out a dart gun & shoot stranger in the heart)
Stranger: (fall to the ground and die)
Irene: (stand up and stare at Clause)
Clause: we have to leave now
Irene: I need to say goodbye to my parents, brother Collin and Elena first (run to the door)
Clause: (open the door, step outside, & sigh)
Irene: take me home first so I can pack (step outside and close door)
Sarah: oh Clause, I’ve missed you so much… Blair poisoned all of us! (throaty cough)
Clause: (run up to Sarah and hug her tightly)
Sarah: Zoe and Vlad died, Vlad tried to find you when Blair released him but didn’t make it… I’m next in line to die!
Clause: you are the only family I have left Sarah; I killed your son so you can live… I killed Stephan
Sarah: (gasp in grief)
Clause: I’m so sorry, he was a human hunter and there was no other way
Sarah: you killed my only son so Blair would save my life? (cry)
Clause: (step back & stare at Sarah)
Sarah: you murderer! If only you had known Blair would poison us anyway my son would still be alive…
Clause: I couldn’t let you die thinking there is nothing I can do (shake head)
Irene: (cry)
Clause: I wouldn’t be able to live with myself… I love you Sarah and I have close to nothing, that’s why I did it
Sarah: you should go, save your human before you lose her too (stare at the ground & press lips together)
Clause: (cry and shake head)
Sarah: you are a disappointment for killing my one and only son…
