[ smiles ] KRISTYN: Yeah right.

[ sits up ] How’s the baby?

HITHE: The baby. . . He’s perfect!

KRISTYN: Good, I’m going to see

him. . . [ gets up ]

HITHE: OK, I’ll be over in a little while.

[ Kristyn leaves, & Hithe’s phone

starts to ring. ]

HITHE: Hello.

AMBER: Hey, how’s the baby?

HITHE: Uh, he’s doing. . . [ looks outside ]

AMBER: Hithe, you there?

HITHE: Yeah, sorry. . .

The doctor told me this morning

he has Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

AMBER: What? Is he gonna be alright?

HITHE: Yeah, he should be fine. . .

They have him on a respirator

right now.

AMBER: Well, that’s good

Does Kristyn know?

HITHE: Not yet, I just found out.

AMBER: Well, you need to tell her. . .

She deserves to know what’s going on.

HITHE: I know, and I will. . .

How’s things at the store?

AMBER: Really busy. . .

But Ace is doing pretty well!

HITHE: That’s good!

Well, I guess I should

go talk to her.

AMBER: OK, call me and let me

know what’s going on this time!

HITHE: I will…bye Amber

[ Hithe walks down to meet Kristyn,

& stands there for a second. . .

watching through the window. ]

HITHE: Hey

KRISTYN: Oh hey. . .he’s sleeping

HITHE: Shh, I’ll be quiet then. . .

KRISTYN: So, when can we take

him home?

HITHE: I’m not sure yet. . .

But Kristyn.

KRISYN: Yeah? [ doesn’t look ]

Look at our son. . .

he looks just like his daddy.

[ smiles ] HITHE: Yeah, that’s what Ski said.

KRISTYN: I’m so happy we decided

to keep him. . .

Seeing him now I don’t know how

I thought I could’ve given him away.

HITHE: Me too. [ looks down ]

[ turns around ] KRISTYN: So, what did

you wanna say?

[ Walks up & puts his arm around her. ]

HITHE: Nothing.

[ In the breakroom, at The Aisles. ]

ACE: Man, I’m fucking exhausted!

[ sits down ] KYLE: Tell me about it. . .

It seems like the lines are never ending

today!

How is Mark?

ACE: He’s looking better. . .

But he still not awake.

KYLE: Well, that’s a good sign

at least.

ACE: Yeah, but it’s been three

days. . .the doctor said he should

of been up by now! [ stands up ]

KYLE: He had some pretty intense

surgery though. . .

[ Kyle stands up & pats Ace on the back

as he turns around. ]

KYLE: Anyways, doctors don’t know

everything. . .

Just keep you head up, OK?

[ Ace nods his head & sits back down

as Kyle leaves. ]

[ Back at the hospital Kristyn is watching

the baby. ]

[ comes up ] HITHE: Hey.

[ turns around ] KRISTYN: Hey, where were

you?

HITHE: I went to go check on Mark.

KRISTYN: How is he?

HITHE: I don’t know. . .

He was suppose to be awake

by now.

KRISTYN: Well, how does he look?

HITHE: The same.

[ Suddenly the baby starts making

noises & they both turn around. ]

KRISTYN: What’s he doing? Is he alright?

HITHE: It sounds like he’s grunting.

KRISTYN: Oh my god.

HITHE: Stay here. . .

I’ll go get the doctor.

KRISTYN: OK, hurry!

[ Hithe comes back with the Doctor. ]

KRISTYN: What’s going on?

DOCTOR: Don’t worry.

The grunting noises you’re hearing

when the baby breaths is a normal

symptom for his condition.

KRISTYN: Condition…what condition? [ looks up ]

DOCTOR: Your baby has Respiratory

Distress Syndrome. . .

Didn’t your husband tell you?

KRISTYN: He’s not my husband.

And no, he didn’t say anything! [ looks at Hithe ]

HITHE: Sorry, I just found out this morning

and I was going to. . .I just didn’t want you

to worry.

KRISTYN: Well, it’s too late now. . .

Is he going to be okay?

DOCTOR: He’s going to be fine. . .

I’m just going to lower the amount of

oxygen for a little while to see if

we can get this calmed down.

I’ll be back to check on him soon.

[ The doctor leaves & they sit there

not saying anything. ]

HITHE: Look, I’m sorry Kristyn. . .

I should have told you right away.

[ Kristyn starts to speak & then

her phone rings. ]

[ sighs ] KRISTYN: It’s my ex. . .

I’ll be right back!

[ Hithe sits down next to the baby. ]

HITHE: Hey, little man. . .

I can’t wait to get you out of here.

I’ve never been a father before,

But I’m gonna give you the best

life I can. . .I promise!

[ Hithe leans down & kisses the baby

on the forehead, then he notices

his lips have turned blue. ]

[ Runs out in the hallway. ]

HITHE: HELP! HELP!

Something’s going on!!!

[ The doctor runs up to him with a nurse &

they all go into the room. ]

DOCTOR: He’s stopped breathing. . .

HITHE: What?

[ Hithe stands there in shock as

they attempt to revive his baby ]

[ 20 minutes later Hithe’s walking down

the hall with his head down & he sees

Kristyn coming toward him. ]

KRISTYN: I hate talking to him.

He’s always asking where I’ve been,

and why haven’t I gotten the kids?

[ Hithe looks up finally & she notices the

tears streaming down his face, and growing

rage in his eyes. ]

KRISTYN: Hithe, what’s wrong?

Where is the baby?

[ looks right at her ] HITHE: Kristyn, I’m sorry

KRISTYN: What happened?

HITHE: He started getting worse. . .and

 the doctor’s did everything they could.

[ Looks down fighting his tears. ]

KRISTYN: No! I was just watching him. . .

This can’t be. . .he was fine!

[ Hithe doesn’t say anything else as

Kristyn stops speaking bursting into

tears. ]

[ At the other end of the hospital

Ski is looking out the window

when he hears a low voice calling

his name. ]

‘ Ski. . .? ‘

[ Late that night,  Kristyn pulls up to her

garage & parks then she gets a text

from Hithe. ]

‘Hey, I wish you would’ve let me

take you home. . .I don’t want

you to deal with this alone.

Call me if you need anything,

Love Hithe’

[ Putting the phone away she notices

her ex husband pull up behind her,

she quicklie wipes her tears &

gets out. ]

KRISTYNsEX: Here’s your kids,

remember them?

[ sighs ] KRISTYN: Yes, of course I do. . .

You two go inside, OK?

[ She stands there as her EX turns to go. ]

[ looking at her ] KRISTYNsEX: I can tell

something’s wrong. . .

[ smirks ] So, what is it?

Did Hithe break up with you or something?

KRISTYN: No, that’s not it. . .

Just leave please!

[ He shakes his head, gets into the car &

drives off leaving Kristyn sitting on

the steps crying. . .]

[ At Hithe’s apartment. . .he goes inside,

throws his stuff on the table, & immediately

gets out a bottle/ Opening it, he takes a

long drink. Slamming it down. ]

202 PSYCHO [ SEASON PREMIERE ]

( Twisted&Tragic /#3 )

[ Kristyn slowly walks over & leans down by

her husband/ Turning him over she gasps

at the sight of blood on his forehead. ]

[ Shaking him…he finally wakes up. ]

JARED: …Kristyn?

How did I get on the floor???

KRISTYN: I'll go get you a towel… [ starts walking off ]

JARED: Wait, it happened again… [ feels his forehead ]

Didn't it?!!

[ FLASHBACK: EP '103 PARYLYZER' ]

 AMBER: I wonder what happened to her husband…

SKI: Huh?

AMBER: Didn't you see him?

He was limping all around… [ E N D ]

[ walks up with towel ] KRISTYN: Here, I'll just…

[ snatches it from her ] JARED: No, I got it.

Kristyn, this has gone far enough!

KRISTYN: I'm sorry

JARED: Yeah, I know! That's all you ever say…

But you never do anything to change! [ gets up ]

KRISTYN: Where are you going?

JARED: I can't force you to get help anymore…

and I can't deal with you like this

KRISTYN: So, what now?

JARED: I think you can figure it out…

You were always good at walking away [ starts going downstairs ]

[ follows him ] KRISTYN: What about us?

JARED: Us? [ looks back ]

There hasn't been any 'us' in a long time! [ walks out the door ]

[ Jared goes to his car with her staying on the steps/

Just as Hithe comes walking up the driveway. ]

JARED: Have fun with her! [ gets in & shuts door ]

HITHE: What?

[ comes down to him ] KRISTYN: Hithe, what are you doing here?

HITHE: Kristyn, I can't be ignored any longer…

I came here to talk to you

[ Kristyn sees her husband watching them/ She hugs

Hithe and looks dead at him until he drives off. ]

[ backs up ] HITHE: What is going on?

KRISTYN: Isn't this what you've always wanted?

HITHE: What do you mean?

KRISTYN: Come on, Hithe…

were free…he'll never find out

& now you can finally have me

[ Hithe just looks at her, not knowing what

to say. ]

[ At TA, In Mark's office. ]

[ on his cell ] MARK: Hey Ski, it's Mark…

Man, things have been so busy lately

and I haven't heard from you…

I was actually wondering if you could [ knock on the door ]

I have to go, call me later!

MARK: Come in!

AMBER: Hey, how's it going?

MARK: Honestly, pretty crazy!

I was trying to get Ski in here to help,

But I can't get a hold of him…

AMBER: Yeah, you know…

Things were a lot easier on you

when you had a manager around

MARK: I know, but there's no

one able to fill the position…

AMBER: Are you sure?

There's isn't anyone at all… [ looks at him ]

MARK: I mean, I've thought about it…

But, how could I even ask…

AMBER: Mark, no one can deny things

went a lot smoother when he was here

MARK: Yeah, I know…

AMBER: So, since you already know…

Why don't you just give it a try?

It may be easier than you think

[ Amber turns to leave… ]

MARK: Wait! [ she turns around ]

Thanks Amber!

[ She smiles & exits. ]

[ Back up front at s/c, Monica comes over. ]

MONICA: So. . .what did he say?

AMBER: Well, he didn't say much…

But I know he's been thinking about it

MONICA: Yeah, after everything that's happened

with them…I can understand his hesitation

AMBER: I just hope he can get over it…

Because it would really help them both

MONICA: Yeah, more than they realize

[ Inside Kristyn's, her & Hithe are sitting in

the living room ]

HITHE: So, what happened?

KRISTYN: I don't know…

I remember we were arguing and then the

next thing I know he's laying on the ground

HITHE: You don't know how he got there?

[ She stays silent. ]

KRISTYN: Not really

HITHE: What's that mean?

KRISTYN: Well, I did slap him because

he was trying to make me stay here…

I didn't know what else to do

HITHE: Then what?

KRISTYN: That's what I don't know…

HITHE: Did you push him at all?

KRISTYN: I don't know, maybe…

I must have blacked out or something

HITHE: Kristyn, how long has this been

going on?

KRISTYN: For awhile, I guess…

I just figured I was stressed because

of the pregnancy or because of my husband

HITHE: This doesn't sound like just stress

I think you should go see a doctor…

[ gets up ] KRISTYN: That's what everyone keeps saying…

I'm not crazy, Hithe!

HITHE: I know, your not…

But look at what's happened already!

Your kids are gone, your husband left…

KRISTYN: My husband "left" a long time

ago

HITHE: But if not for him, you should do it

for your kids. . . and your future baby [ smiles ]

Don't you wanna get better for them?

KRISTYN: Yeah, of course I do…

I can't go alone though

HITHE: Don't worry…

I'll take you

KRISTYN: You still wanna be around me

after everything you found out?

HITHE: I'm here for you, Kristyn…

for whatever you need and that's never gonna

change

[ She just looks up at him, not saying anything. ]

[ Back in Mark's office. ]

MARK: Hello Jim?

JIM: Yeah, this is Jim…

MARK: Hey, it's Mark…

How's it going?

JIM: I'm good,

How's everything there?

MARK: Here? Well, actually that's what

I was calling about…

You know, we still don't have a manager

JIM: Yeah, sorry about that…

I'm still looking into trying to transfer someone

MARK: It's OK, I kinda have a different

idea about what to do

JIM: Oh yeah? What's that…

[ Kristyn's in a room, waiting on her doctor. ]

KRISTYN: What's taking so long for him

to come back?

It's making me nervous

HITHE: I know, they're probably waiting

on your test results

KRISTYN: What was all that for anyway?

All those questions

HITHE: I have no idea…but don't worry

whatever it is we'll get through it

[ The doctor comes in. ]

DOCTOR: Kristyn?

KRISTYN: Yeah…

DOCTOR: Based on all the test and what you've

told us I've come up with a diagnosis

KRISTYN: OK…what is it?

DOCTOR: Well, it's pretty clear from these

results that you have bi-polar disorder

KRISTYN: What? So, I am crazy

DOCTOR: No, not at all. . .

It's a disorder of the brain, but it can be treated

and I will be putting you on some medication

that should help you

KRISTYN: And if it doesn't?

DOCTOR: Then will go from there…

KRISTYN: How is this gonna affect my baby?

DOCTOR: The medicine I'm putting you on

Is the safest one for your condition

KRISTYN: But is there any risk?

DOCTOR: Well, the normal rate for birth defects

Is 3% + the percentage for taking the medicine

are much less…

KRISTYN: OK, I guess…. [ looks down ]

DOCTOR: Alright, I'll be right back with your

prescription…

[ he leaves ]

HITHE: You OK?

KRISTYN: No, I can't believe it...

How could I have never known this?

HITHE: I guess sometimes you don't realize

until later on in life

KRISTYN: I know, but right now?

How am I suppose to handle this and

everything else?

HITHE: You're right, it will be hard

But you can do it...

KRISTYN: Why are you being so nice?

Everyone else has left me…

HITHE: Well, that's not me and like I said before

I'm here and I would never leave you

[ Getting up, he sits by her & holds her hand ]

/ Then his cell starts ringing. . . ]

HITHE: I'll be right out here…OK?

KRISTYN: OK

[ outside the door ] HITHE: Hello…

[ stays silent for a second ] You want me to what?

[ Back at the store by self checks. ]

AMBER: It's almost time to go…

Do you think Mark called?

MONICA: I don't know

[ walks up ] DINA: Called who?

AMBER: I heard our new manager will

be stopping in soon… [ looks at Monica ]

MONICA: Yeah, I heard something about

that too [ smiles ]

DINA: Really, who?

AMBER: I don't know…

Someone from a different store, I think

DINA: Well, it's about time!

MONICA: Yeah, I can't wait to meet him!

[ Marks approaches the front & goes over by the window/

Just then a familiar face comes through the door. ]

DINA: What is he doing here?

AMBER: Who? [ looks away ]

DINA: Hithe, he just walked in the door!

AMBER: Did he really?

MONICA: I don't know

DINA: OK, what's going on?

AMBER: Maybe Mark realized it was a mistake

letting him go to begin with…

MONICA: Yeah, and we desperately need a manager!

So, it might as well be someone who knows all about it…

DINA: What? You're serious…

MONICA: Yeah, we are

DINA: I can't believe they let him back

[ walks up ] HITHE: Amber, Monica….Dina [ smiles ]

That's right, I'm back….and this time around

things are gonna be different!
