ACT ONE

Scene One
Draper and April's apartment.

Draper wants to know if April is upset because he was too tired to attend the opening of Eliot's new restaurant The Unicorn. April says it wasn't all that important to her. In fact, Margo wasn't even going to be there as she had a business appointment. Draper makes a sarcastic comment that naturally it wouldn't be worth going if Margo wasn't there. April replies that she wanted to go because Miles and Nicole were attending, and she thought it would be nice to spend the evening with them. Draper retorts that Miles didn't want to go any more than he did; they had to be there because Margo is Nicole's boss. April tells him that it's okay. She knows that he's tired. He has every right to be after fighting weeks for Winter's freedom. April will never forget what Draper did in the courtroom, and neither will Winter.

Scene Two
Winter's apartment.

She doesn't want to leave Monticello with him. Tank warns her that if she won't help him for love, she'll do it because he has a gun.

ACT TWO

Draper tells April there's a ballgame on TV, and he's going to watch it in the bedroom. She asks him to stay and talk instead. She wants to know what he plans to do next now that he's got a reputation as a hotshot attorney. Draper laughs, reminding her that the newspapers gave Mike as much credit as they did him. After all, Mike discovered the inconsistency on Tank's videotape. April says that Draper was the one who handled the courtroom work, who told the jury about the tape, who gave the brilliant summation. It was because of him that the jury acquitted Winter. "No," Draper replies, "They acquitted Winter because it was right." April tells him not to be so modest. He has to take advantage of the situation if he ever wants to make any real money. "Greedy, greedy, greedy," he teases her. April says she's not greedy. Draper retorts that all she wants is a five room cottage with garden. He asks if she spoke with the real estate agent and got any idea of how much a house would cost. April assures him that a terrifically successful lawyer like him can afford some kind of house.

Scene Two
Margo's penthouse.

Margo is on the phone with Eliot. She apologizes for not being at the grand opening of The Unicorn, but it's unavoidable. She has a business appointment, and the client couldn't make it any earlier. Sarah, the maid, informs Margo that Mr. Brooks is on his way up. Margo ends the call with Eliot and sends Sarah home. Sarah offers to stay and work late. Margo suggests she drop by The Unicorn instead. After all, Sarah had mentioned wanting to see it. "One of should be there, shouldn't we?" Margo states. Sarah leaves as Mr. Brooks arrives. He apologizes to Margo for being so late, but he was showing a house out in Graham County. Margo says that she would have just spoken to him on the phone later if she hadn't been so busy herself. Mr. Brooks advises her that she was wise to move so quickly; the house won't be on the market another week. Margo examines the photographs and says that it's just as she remembered when she was looking for a house…a darling little Cape Cod close to the city. Mr. Brooks admits the location is one reason it's so expensive; however, the owners have lowered the price, so Margo had better buy it now if she wants it. She confesses that it isn't for her. It's actually for her daughter and son-in-law, but they have to see it first, and like it. She cautions him that even with the reduction, it's still too expensive which is why April and Draper can't know the actual price. Mr. Brooks is confused. Margo suggests that there's been another reduction in price. This time the house is only $65,000. Mr. Brooks balks. That's less than half of its value. Margo reassures him that he'll be paid the full asking price -she'll see to that. It's just that it has to be done without their knowledge. Mr. Brooks remarks about Margo's generosity. She replies that it's less a matter of generosity than one of necessity. Mr. Brooks states that making such an arrangement will be very intricate, but Margo assures him that he can do it. Mr. Brooks warns her that if April and Draper know anything about real estate, they'll realize the price is much too low. Shouldn't they make it at least $75,000? Margo stands firm. $65,000 and no higher. It's "distress sale." Mr. Brooks promises he'll be very discreet. The young couple will never know they had a fairy godmother. Margo laughs triumphantly.

Steve tells Deborah to stay and have a good time with Calvin and Star. He'll see to Winter. Steve says he might be overreacting. Winter had a visitor when Logan called her, and there's nothing wrong with that. The thing that bothers him is that she lied about the visitor being Deborah, when obviously it wasn't. Deborah calls Winter on a pay phone, but there's no answer. They theorize that maybe she went to a movie or could be on her way to The Unicorn. Steve asks who they're kidding. They both had the same idea…it was probably Tank Jarvis at Winter's door. Steve suggests they go and find out.

ACT THREE

April is clipping a newspaper article about the trial and Draper's "brilliant display of courtroom pyrotechnics." Draper jokes that he can't read the paper in his hands because April has cut it to shreds. She says that she's compiling a scrapbook for he writes his memoirs. "The most important cases of Draper Scott -both of them," he quips. April says that she's certain he's going to handle lots of important cases. April asks if he read the article about the rich girl who's in trouble. Paige Madison, the daughter of film producer Owen Madison. Draper is surprised that he's in Monticello instead of Hollywood. April tells him that Owen's family was from the area, and he came back after his daughter was arrested in Mexico. Draper asks what's important about it, because April seems more interested in that article than his. She reminds him that he's always talking about how poor his clients are, but here's a rich one who is a criminal. April explains that Paige Madison was arrested for smuggling arms across the border. Wouldn't she -the daughter of a millionaire- make a great client? Draper insists that April doesn't care what kind of trouble Paige Madison is in; she's only interested in her wealth. April tells him that he can defend a rich client as easily as a poor one. Draper replies that Owen will probably hire the most prolific attorney he can afford. So, forget it. There's no way that they're going to get rich quickly. April counters that she doesn't want to get rich quickly. She just wants to be able to afford a house. She suggests that he at least call the Madisons and find out if Paige has legal representation. When he remarks that things aren't done that way, April says that she'll call her herself. The phone rings, and Draper jokes that Paige has beat her to it…only, tell her that he won't accept anything less than a million dollar retainer. April answers the phone. It's Margo. Draper gets irritated at the interruption and goes to watch the ballgame in the bedroom. April laments that if she doesn't learn something about baseball, she'll never have anything to discuss with Draper. Margo teases her that soon they'll have a house to talk about…one that's she's absolutely going to adore. COMMERCIAL BREAK

ACT FOUR

Scene One
April tells Margo that she and Draper were just talking about finances and specifically that they can't afford a house. She saw a realtor earlier that day, and it was a disaster. Although Draper gained a great deal of notoriety in Winter's trial, it didn't put money in his pocket. April asks Margo if she ever met Owen Madison in her travels. Margo admits that she did, in fact. When she lived in Los Angeles, she owned a publishing company, and Owen produced a film from one of their books. April says that Owen was actually from Monticello originally. Margo remembers that she knew it and mentions his daughter Paige being in the news recently. April explains that she just read an article about Paige, who would make a great client for Draper. Margo informs her that she doesn't have to wait for a wealthy client in order to have a house because Margo has already found one. She describes how perfect it is, then reveals that it's only $65,000. April doesn't believe it. She saw the prices in the realtor's office. Margo explains that it's a distress sale, so April and Draper will have to move very quickly if they want it. Margo says she has directions to the house, and after April confirms the price, she agrees to see it the next morning. Margo insists that she not let Draper talk her out of it. April says that she doesn't care about Draper, she only wants directions to the house.

Scene Two
Winter's apartment.

Tank gives Winter directions for the route they'll take to get out of town. Winter counters that traffic on that route will be extremely heavy. Tank says he wants that; it will be less conspicuous if they're in a crowd. Winter wants to know where they're going after that. Tank tells her out of Monticello, straight to Highway One. Out of the state. Maybe out of the next five states. Besides, they have $10,000 to get along on. He quips that it was nice of Wade to leave it for them, though he doesn't know where he got it. Winter reveals that it was Raven Jamison's money. The blackmail she paid for the tape of Logan accepting Wade's bribe. Winter insists that what they're doing is wrong. He replies that she can't change his mind, but maybe in time, if she gives him a chance, he can change hers. They're interrupted by a sudden knock at the door. Tank becomes agitated. He wants to know who it is. Winter says it's probably Deborah. Tank presses himself against the wall next to the door, his gun drawn. He instructs Winter to get rid of her. Tell her that she'll call her tomorrow. Winter asks who it is. She hears Deborah's voice asking if she can come in. Winter tells her through the closed door that it's late, and she's about to go to bed. Steve identifies himself, asking Winter if she's okay. She claims that she is, but noticing that Tank is nervous and breathing hard, Winter suddenly jerks the door open, screaming that Tank's there. Tank darts through Winter's bedroom door as Steve and Deborah burst into the apartment. Steve goes into the bedroom after Tank, warning him to stop, but Tank jumps onto the fire escape. Steve runs back into the living room, with news that Tank is headed for the roof. He's going after him. Deborah runs downstairs to cover the street. Alone, Winter hesitates then follows Steve.

ACT FIVE

Tank cautiously climbs a ladder to the roof of Winter's apartment building. He looks around, unsure of his next move. He then hears the sounds of hurried footsteps coming up the stairs and dashes behind a chimney, crouching in the darkness. Steve rushes through the door to the roof, followed by Winter. Steve draws his gun and begins to survey the rooftop. He doesn't notice Tank hiding in the shadows of the chimney. Steve turns and walks back toward the area by the door. Tank quietly raises his head, and seeing Steve's back turned, aims his gun. Winter sees Tank and screams a warning to Steve. He ducks just as Tank fires a shot at him. Winter drops to the ground, between Tank and Steve, while Steve opens the door and steps behind it, using it as a shield. Tank reloads and fires another shot. Steve calmly tells Tank to put the gun down before somebody gets hurt. Tank reloads his gun, begging Winter to help him. "For God's sake, I did it all for you," he pleads. Winter moves toward Tank, but he can't see her. He calls her name, crying again for her help. He suddenly fires another shot and makes a desperate run for the fire escape ladder. As he jumps onto the ledge, he and Steve exchange gunfire. Steve drops to the ground, and Tank is hit. He loses his balance and falls off the roof, managing to grab the ledge on his way down. Winter rushes to the ledge, where Tank is dangling six stories above the street. He begs her, "Help me, Winter. Help me." As Tank looks helplessly, horror stretching across his face, Winter pries his fingers from the ledge. He falls to his death with a bloodcurdling scream. Steve rushes to Winter. She appears distraught. She tells him that she tried to save Tank, but she couldn't. Steve embraces her, reassuring her that she did every thing she could. Winter leans against his shoulder, hiding a faint smile of satisfaction.
