Francis Bay, Long Island.
WILSON RESIDENCE.
23 year Old Rebecca, awakes from a Nightmare, that has been haunting her for nearly Twenty Four Years. The torture of witnessing, her Foster sisters possible drowning has left a painful mark on her soul. She trembles and sweats, as the psychological scar lingers on. Fifty plus hours earlier, Rebecca had mistaken Emma for a dangerous intruder and killed her. Theoretically, Emma was intruding. However, Emma was part of the Wilson family fold to a point, despite being married to Chris and having an affair with Rebecca at the same time. Rebecca walks into the upstairs Hallway and looks down into the passage, where Emma died from her fatal injuries, nights earlier. The guilt is too much for Rebecca and she drops to her knees in tears. It was a freak accident. What was Emma doing in the house secretly and hiding in the Attic? What was her intensions? Days earlier, she attempted to murder Benjamin, but inadvertantly kill two innocent bystanders at a Gas Station.
It is revealed, that Emma is the one, behind the Gas Station Homicide and Harry is absolutely horrified by the revelations. He has suspicions, as to why she may have gone mad. He doesn't yet, discuss this with Rebecca, as she is mourning, yet another loss, on top of losing Linda Perry and her biological mother, Clara. The other scenario, he has to contend with, is having the return of psychic abilities and what secrets have been revealed to him.
Bethany heads into town and goes to the harbour, where Benjamin is working and pulls him aside.
"Let me, deal with Dominic in my own way," Bethany suggests. "I don't think he will be that stupid to blow this whole situation out in the open. We've got more things to worry about, at this time."
"OK, it's your call," Benjamin agrees. "But, I'm not sorry, that Bitch is dead."
"Kind of freakish, yet convenient, by the way Emma's life ended the way it did."
"How long do you intend to stall on King? He's probably got evidence on that Joe Hayes recording."
"Like I said, let me deal with him in my own way."
"How is Rebecca? Surprised she has enough tears to cry anymore," Benjamin cruelly remarks.
"And we're at fault for all three of the deaths, that's caused her pain," Bethany said.
"And Benita's."
Bethany does not reply to her son's quote and informs him, that Rebecca wants to decent burial for Emma and lay her next to her adopted father, Otto Cole. She then states, she is going into the Bank to work a morning shift. Benjamin gets really uptight and on edge. He' concerned that Dominic will have nothing to lose and expose, all their secrets, unbeknown to them, Harry knows them in his head. Benjamin catches his reflection in a mirror and he stares aggressively.
"What are you looking at?" Benjamin snaps. He walks to the mirror and breathes like a Predator, ready to strike. "Just remember, there's blood on your hands as well love."
Arriving, in Town, in a tatty car, across from the Kings Cafe, is Twenty One year old, Joshua Norton. Son of Deceased Mother, Lacy Norton and Illegitimate son of Harry Wilson. Lacy had visited Harry in New York, following the Nuclear threat on New York and Jeff's arrest and told him about Joshua, prior to her death. Phil Norton, Joshua's adopted father, wasn't keen, that Harry got to know Joshua, as he brought Joshua up. It appears that Joshua, has his own mind and decided to find his real father. He looks to his surroundings and seems to find the town of Francis and nice looking Hamlet. He notices a local man, tending to a Truck driver, who is have a medical episode. Joshua hurries over and drops his over bag on the floor to help.
"Is he alright?" Joshua queries.
"I think he's exhausted. He said he's been over worked," the local man explains. "I don't think he's in a fit state to continue driving this Rigger."
"You're right," Joshua agrees.
The truck is parked in an inconvenient way and could cause chaos and too close to the Harbour edge, plus blocking way for Fishing Operatives to get in or out. The local steadies the Truck Driver.
"You couldn't move this truck could you kid?" the local suggests.
Joshua feels like he's been put on the spot and would feel awful, if he didn't help, a man unwell. He hesitates for a moment.
"I'm not sure. It's different from driver a car, I'm sure," Joshua figures. "I'll need help guiding it to safety."
The local man gets a female lady to help the truck to sit in a safe place and to seek medical attention. Joshua hops into the Truck and tries to figure out of the controls. He nervously, but successfully starts the engines and the local man, acts as a Banksman/Reversing assistant to guide him through. Joshua cranks the gears and the truck starts to jerk slowly forward. He spins the steering hard and the Large Vehicle slowly turns, as the young Wilson takes caution. The back of the truck, barely misses Benjamin's red truck. Joshua takes a deep breath. The truck continues to jerk. Then, Joshua loses concentration. He sees Deloris exiting the Cafe, getting a breath of fresh air and he can't his eyes off her. He is so engrossed in staring at Deloris, he doesn't realize the truck is rolling backwards and the Local man is trying to get his attention. Benjamin is seen walking out of the Fishery and sees the Truck rolling towards her red truck. The Local man is screaming at Joshua.
"Hey Kid! Stop!"
Joshua continues to stare at Deloris, unaware of the danger behind. The Truck slams into Benjamin's Red Truck and he flies of the Harbour Parking Lot and into the waters below. Benjamin is horrified by watching his Works Truck being driven into the drink.
"WHAT THE FUUUUCCCCKKKK!" Benjamin curses.
His screaming can be heard, echoing around the town and Bethany hears her son's loud cries from inside the bank. Joshua steps on the breaks and pulls up the handbrake. He has a bad feeling. Deloris, who is also a witness, is caught of guard by what has just occurred, right on her doorstep. Dominic also rushes out to the commotion. Benjamin rushes to the edge of the Lot and sees his Truck, sinking. Joshua jumps out and sees the damage he's caused.
"Oops," Joshua gasps.
Benjamin is shocked by Joshua's response and clenches his fists in anger. Dominic and Bethany hurry over. Dominic looks like he wants to protect Joshua and Bethany to stop Benjamin from doing something he might regret, even more.
"Is that all you've to say? Oops" Benjamin rages.
Joshua steps back, as Benjamin looks like he's about to take a punch at him.
"Sorry buddy," Joshua apologizes. "Is there anything I can do?"
"How about you go down there in the water and give my Truck the kiss of life, it might come back up in one peace, you stupid asshole!"
"I was just trying to help."
"Help! By putting my pride and joy in the fucking drink?!"
Deloris tries to calm the situation. " Benjamin take it easy, I sure the insurance will pay out."
"That's not the point Deloris. How's he got a trucks licence?"
Joshua acts all awkward and it soon dawns on everyone, he's not a professional Truck driver. Benjamin is not impressed.
"Please tell me, you have a licence for that thing?" Benjamin worries.
"The guy over there, was having a medical issue. I offered to help," Joshua answers.
"Yeah, well, I'm pleased to say, you're next to have a medical issue."
Benjamin is about to attack Joshua, when Dominic stands in his way and tells him to calm down and to arrange to have it pulled out. Benjamin gives Joshua an evil stare.
"That's my livelihood down there. And you're gonna pay for it. One way or the other. So, you stay out of my way," Benjamin warns.
Deloris offers Joshua a coffee and he thanks Dominic for helping him out, despite the embarrassment. Bethany goes to calm Benjamin and Dominic chuckles to himself, when he sees Benjamin's truck sinking.
KINGS CAFE
Deloris fixes Joshua a coffee on the house and he informs her, he's looking for his Biological father and he quickly tells her, it's Harry. Deloris is surprised by this and she lets her father know. Dominic shakes Joshua's hand. Then Dominic has a strange psychic vision.
From Dominic's P.O.V. on boat assisting a female, who's identity is not seen. Only High Heel shoes - like Air Hostess Shoes.
Dominic and Charlotte in an altercation regarding the truth surrounding, their son's death as well, as Jeff Wilsons.
The discovery of Charlottes remains in a Woodland.
Plus, the Tape recording Dominic conceals.
Joshua jumps a little and Dominic and Deloris wonder what's bothering him. Joshua puts it down to having the incident recently on his mind. In steps Benjamin, who is somewhat bewildered, that Joshua is made to feel at home. He walks up the counter, as Joshua starts to bare the grudge of the local Fisherman. Deloris starts to feel awkward.
"My phone is playing up and my cell phone - battery is dead," Benjamin claims. "I was wondering if I could call a Tow Truck from here?"
"Sure," Deloris accepts.
"A Tow Truck? Ever thought about using your hands?" Dominic sarcastically acknowledges.
Joshua laughs nervously spitting out his coffee. Benjamin feels insulted, considering it was Joshua, who caused the accident. This makes him even more angry.
"What are you laughing at you prick?" Benjamin grunts.
"Nothing. Just chill out man," Joshua groans.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Shall, I put the Duke Box on and start playing 'The Walk Of Life' by Dire Straits?"
"I'm sure we can work something out."
"Yeah, there is. Step outside."
Benjamin now wants to use Violence to help his situation. Deloris is worried for the newcomer and tries to calm Benjamin.
"Benjamin C'mon," Deloris pleads.
"Stay out of this Deloris," Benjamin demands.
"Benjamin, why don't you go make that call," Dominic encourages.
"Yeah, when I'm finished with this hot shot," Benjamin growls.
Joshua realizes he's been put in a corner and he looks around and sees all the customers staring. Joshua gets off his stool and sees that Benjamin is bigger than him, in height and body tone. He walks towards the door and opens it, as Benjamin follows on behind, being intimidating. All Joshua wanted to do was find his father and within twenty minutes of being in town, is getting into a possible fist fight. Joshua grasps at the door.
"Uh... after you," Joshua offers.
"Oh, thanks," Benjamin nods.
When Benjamin steps out into the street, Joshua shuts the door and bolts it. It appears he doesn't want to take on the angry Fisherman. He rushes to the counter in desperation to escape. Deloris is not surprised, that Joshua acted the way he did. Dominic rolls his eyes, smirking, however he feels terribly sorry for the new Wilson boy.
"Have you got a back door here somewhere?" Joshua panics.
"Yeah, it's just round, here," Dominic points.
Joshua rushes round the counter and runs to the back door. He opens it and Benjamin is blocking his escape.
"Boo!" Benjamin spooks.
"Oh - shit!" Joshua cries.
Benjamin grabs Joshua by the scruff. Joshua then has more psychic flashes.
Jeff Wilson dying in a swimming (Seventh Season Finale - Big Brother's Last Stand).
Benjamin having an Orgy with Christopher, Emma and Rebecca. Deloris catching them, leaving her heartbroken. (Fives A Crowd - Final Season).
Brief flashes, of the murders of Linda Perry, Steven Whittaker, Clara Barton and Charlotte King. And Christopher being approached from the P.O.V. of an assailant in the foggy Lighthouse. Gloria Lang striking a match, prior to her death. (Final Season)
Joshua is yanked outside by his shirt and he yells that he has money. Inside the Cafe, Deloris and Dominic wait on the outcome of the physical altercation. Customers also wait anxiously to see who's won the fight. Suddenly, in steps both Benjamin and Joshua. Joshua looks like he's not been assaulted and Benjamin quickly starts counting cash. Joshua has paid him off and avoided a beating. Joshua hasn't a penny in his wallet left and feels humiliated. Deloris feels sad for him.
"Some reunion this is gonna be," Joshua sighs.
