THE FILE

She came home with silence in her eyes… and a case that would change everything.

The Return

The front door opens slowly. Evening light fades behind Bethany as she steps in, gripping a file tightly.

LARRY: You’re late… everything okay?

Bethany doesn’t respond. She walks forward and places the file on the table.

The File

BETHANY: Read it.

Larry hesitates… then opens the file. His eyes scan rapidly. His face changes.

LARRY: This… this can’t be real.

LARRY: You filed a case?

LARRY: Against Lynette?

The Truth Revealed

Bethany stands firm, holding back years of frustration.

BETHANY: I had no choice.

LARRY: There’s always a choice!

BETHANY: Not when someone is destroying you quietly.

What Happened

Flashbacks rush through Bethany’s mind — late nights, hidden files, silent threats.

BETHANY: She manipulated records… blamed everything on me.

BETHANY: And when I found out… she tried to scare me.

The Breaking Point

LARRY: You should’ve told me earlier.

BETHANY: Would you have believed me?

Silence. That question hits hard.

The Decision

Larry looks at the file again — this time understanding the weight of it.

LARRY: This is going to start a war.

BETHANY: It already did.

LARRY: Then we face it together.

The file stays on the table… but now it’s more than paper. It’s truth, power, and the beginning of something dangerous.
