MY ANGELS“GLIMSPE OF HOPE”#04WRITTEN BY: KELLY CHRISTINEFADE IN:EXT.NEW YORK-NIGHTEXT.GLORY MODEL MANAGAEMENTINT.GMM-DIANA’S OFFICE[Diana is talking in the phone while sitting at her desk.]Diana: no, mom, it’s okay. [She listens for a while] of course not [she looks down at her belly andtouches her stomach] no hurry. Yes, I’ll tell them. Okay, bye mom. [She puts the receiver back in hishandle and covers her face with her hands. She hears baby gurgling. She looks up and following thesound, she walks out of her office. She sees a woman, KERRY in her office cubicle with the baby inher arms. Diana walks to her.] Cute babyKERRY: hey, hi, Diana. Thanks. She is so precious, I’m telling you. I couldn’t stay away from her. Youwouldn’t say anything to the CEO, right?Diana: of course not. How old is she?Kerry: 3 months old.Diana: she’s so small.Kerry: she was a premature baby but she’s just fine now. Nothing like having a baby in your arms tomake you forget about all the worries in this world.Diana: really? [Sitting on the edge of the table.]Kerry: of course. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. After my boyfriend left me and whenI found out I was pregnant, I swear I thought I might die from the embarrassment and grieve. Butwhen I held her in my arms for the first time, everything just…everything just faded away. It’s aremarkable feeling.Diana: sounds great. You did this all on your own. A great achievement.Kerry: thank you. Of course I always had the worry that her father might come back.Diana: you don’t want your child to see her father?Kerry: a man who left me? I don’t want such a man in my life. I bet he would have freaked out and ranfor the hills if he had found out about the pregnancy. Only some men take responsibility for their actions.Diana: and what if they take responsibility for all the wrong reasons?Kerry: at least they’re making sure you’re not doing it all alone. [Camera holds on Diana thinking]anyway, I have to get going. It’s getting late. [Diana carries her bag pack and hands it to her]Diana: do you need any help getting to your car?
 
Woman: no, that’s okay. I got it covered. You should go home. You look tired.Diana: I will, soon. [She leans forward and kisses the baby on her cheek.] Sleep tight, precious. [Sheleans back and waves at Kerry.] Bye, Kerry. Take care.Kerry: bye [she walks out of the office. Diana breathes out and walks into her office. She closes thedoor and leans her head back against the door and closes her eyes. Richard smokes in front of her desk. Richard looks around and notices her. Diana opens her eyes and gasps. She puts a hand onher chest.]Diana: what are you doing here?Richard: I don’t know. Did you…did my child just summon me?Diana: I’m not sure. [She walks to her table]Richard: you okay?Diana: yes, I’m fine.Richard: you look pale.Diana: maybe it’s because of the constant puking and nauseous.Richard: yep, that oughta do it. [He looks at her while she sits back on her chair.] You know if something is wrong, you need to tell me. I cannot allow the woman carrying my heir to be ill. Thatmeans my child isn’t properly taken care of and I cannot allow that. [Diana looks up at him]Diana: do you think it’s easy for me?Richard: no one said pregnancy was easy.Diana: I’m not talking about my child. I’m talking about us. When you proposed to me, I saw a futurefor us. I saw us happy together. Living as husband and wife. I saw us having children. Run around ushappily, screaming. [She gets teary.] And when I found out I was pregnant, all I thought was that I wasgoing to have a baby and you would want to marry me and we’re going to have a happy family. Andnow everything is just so messed up and I don’t understand why.Richard: well…I guess I was a pretty damn good at my acting skills.Diana: yes, you were. I really thought you loved me. [She sniffs back her tears.] I felt it. I felt your lovefor me. I felt your care and concern for me. And to find out that you were faking all of it? If you ever wanted to destroy Diana Diaz, well you have. [She stands up and walks out of the office. Cameraholds on Richard’s face.]FADE TOEND OF TEASERROLL TITLE CREDITSFADE IN.EXT.NEW YORK CITY-NIGHTEXT.DINER[Denise parks her car outside the diner and quickly rushes into the diner.]INT.DINER.TABLE
 
[Danny is sitting at a table while drinking his glass of beer. Denise walls in and spots him. She walkshim to him.]Denise: sorry, I’m late. We were all sending off Steven at the airport.Danny: Steven’s going overseas?Denise: no, he’s just going on an educational tour with his students. It’s a three days and four nightstrip. [She shrugs out of her coat and puts it aside and sits down across him.] You look…gloomy.Danny: I haven’t heard from Daphne for three days now.Denise: maybe she’s busy?Danny: she doesn’t even have 1 minute to return my calls or to send me messages. I think she’savoiding me.Denise: now why could you think that?Danny: because it’s been three days and she hasn’t returned my calls or called me at all. Do you thinkshe has broken up with me?Denise: don’t be ridiculous. If she wanted to break up with you, I’m sure she will come straight to youand call it off.Danny: you are not a good friend.Denise: relax; I’m sure she’s just…somewhere…soul searching?Danny: did she tell you where she went or why she hasn’t called me?Denise: nope, I don’t know at all. So [perking] no work tonight?Danny: I haven’t even been able to concentrate on my initial case let alone lead a group of commanders into a hot zone.Denise: because of Daphne?Danny: I can’t stop thinking about her.Denise: Danny, I just want to warn you that, prepare for the worst. You know, she might have…youknow on her own, thought that it might work between the two of you.Danny: Daphne and I are in a relationship. If something isn’t going to work out, we both have to worktogether to make it work. It’s not her sole decision to just abandon the relationship. That’s not fair.Besides, I know we’re great together. We’re not even having any problems. Sometimes she can bequite distant like she’s thinking about something else but she is really committed to our relationship. Iknow she is. We’re meant to be, Dee. Remember when I first told you about her. [Denise grinsremembering the past]Denise: yes, I remember. [Denise looks down at her cup of hot steaming coffee. We focus on thecoffee.][FLASHBACK TO: the screen opens on the same coffee in a mug. Camera moves up and it showDenise sitting in the diner waiting and looking at the door. The diner door opens and Danny walks intowards Denise.]
