I'm Seeing The Light/Transcript

## LAPD

*Cameras are clicking. Flashes of light follow. Faint groaning. Sound of metal bars clinking. Screen goes black*.

*Christian is sitting towards the wall avoiding any contact with the people he's sharing the holding cell with. The sound of a man around 50 yrs old clearing his throat is heard, and Christian slowly turns around with a slight annoyed look on his face*.

OLD MAN: You know kid, I don't know what you did, but you seem like a friendly little guy.
CHRISTIAN [smug]: I don't know what I did. It seems like i'm also getting into something. Trouble always finds it's way to me. They arrested me for assault, but I never touched anyone. [sighs] I just want to go home. I want my dad.
OLD MAN: What do you think your dad would say?
CHRISTIAN [scoffs]: My dad will believe me. He knows i'm innocent. I KNOW i'm innocent.
*The jail doors open. The officer tells Christian that he's been bailed out. He sighs with relief and waves goodbye to the old man. He's walked out to the front of the station where Brandon is waiting for him. He runs up to him, embracing his father in a warm hug*.

CHRISTIAN: Can we go home now? I don't think I can take another second in this place.
BRANDON [chuckles]: Yeah. Yeah we can. I just have some buisness with Reuben that I need to take care of.
*Christian nods, taking a seat on the bench. Brandon walks into the Chief's office*.

BRANDON: So is what i'm hearing true? Is he really gone and somehow you've found his daughter?
REUBEN [nods]: Yep. Sadly, the news is true. She's pretty timid by the way. She's a baby, so take it easy on her.
BRANDON: The fact that she had to see all that -- I can't even imagine how she's feeling right now.
REUBEN: She's a bit jumpy, but she's definitely aware of who you are.
## NORTH TOWER - BRANDON'S FLOOR

*Christian unlocks the door, letting Brandon who's carrying the sleeping child in his arms. Once they're inside, Brandon hands her to Katherine. He grabs the keys from Christian, placing his arm around his shoulder. Christian goes up to his room to get settled for the night*.

*Christian yawns while getting into bed. Brandon comes into the room sitting on the edge of the bed. Brandon tucks Christian in*.

BRANDON: I know today wasn't a good day, but I want you to know that whatever happens from this day forward that me and your mother are going to be there for you.
CHRISTIAN: Do you think they're going to send me away? I swear I didn't do it. I didn't do anything.
BRANDON: You're going to be fine. If it gets to that point, we'll lawyer you up. You have nothing to worry about.
CHRISTIAN [reluctantly]: She lied.
BRANDON [confused]: Who lied?
CHRISTIAN [stutters]: Aria.
*Brandon is speechless. He's clearly angry, getting up from the bed, turning off the light and slamming the door. Katherine watches as her husband leaves the room full of rage. He walks past her, before being stopped by her*.

KATHERINE: I take it that it didn't go so well? What happened now?
BRANDON [scoffs]: Everything is starting to make sense. I was so stupid that I couldn't see that our very good friend James was behind all of this. [chuckles] Once again, James is after my family. He hurt Luna, but this time -- this time I won't let him hurt Christian. I'm not going to make the same mistake again. I'm going to put an end to him for good.
## NORTH TOWER - VINCE'S FLOOR

*Reuben is taking a shower. He leans his head against the wall sighing heavily*.

*He finds himself in bed, falling asleep. Suddenly he hears a voice in his head. A familiar voice. The voice of his father, Hades*.

HADES [voiceover]: And when it's all said and done, you'll be the one begging for me to take all the pain away, but I won't do it. You'll learn the hard way.
*Reuben wakes up. He sits up panting and sweating. Vince closes his book with an unamused look on his face*.

VINCE: Dreaming of our long lost daddy again? I'm starting to think that you lied to me when you told me that you were doing fine and getting over him.
REUBEN [sarcastically]: You're so funny, and by the way i'm completely over him. It's not my fault that some parents like to be a prick in the ass to their children.
*Vince shakes his head. It seems like he's agreeing with his husband, but he's actually mocking him*.

VINCE: Whatever helps you sleep at night is fine by me.
REUBEN: Are you done now? Because unlike you, I have something important to bring to your attention.
