Harrington pressures Betty to steal Peyton's will.
WA: The wharf in Peyton Place. A frightened Rachel Welles heads
for a meeting. A dangerous meeting with Jack Chandler in the
room of his boarding house. She is convinced she will learn
something about Chandler's involvement with the missing
Allison. Tonight, she is determined to get to know Jack
Chandler.
Intro: Rachel is walking on the wharf. Carrying four textbooks,
Rachel climbs the steps to the room of Chandler's
boarding-house.
Scene 1: Rachel knocks on the door of room 5 of the boarding house.
Chandler lets her in. She mentions hitting him on the head.
She wonders if he was hurt bad. She asks why he didn't let her
see other people when they lived on the farm. She said that he
never gave her a chance. He says that he didn't think the
other people were good enough for her. She complains that he
never told her where he was from. Chandler says that he trusts
her. She leaves and walks on the wharf. Norman sees Rachel on
the wharf and calls to her. She either doesn't hear him or at
least doesn't want to answer.
Scene 2: Norman and Rita arrive at the apartment and he offers to fix a
meal. Norman tells Rita that he saw Rachel coming out of Jack
Chandler's apartment house. She says that Eli lives there,
too. Norman doesn't want her to get involved. Norman tells
Rita that she doesn't have any sense. She has too much heart,
that she is too gullible. Rita says, "If I'm going to die, I'm
going to die."
Scene 3: Still carrying the four textbooks, Rachel brings her school
schedule to Rossi's office for him to look at. She is enrolled
in Basic English, Fundamentals of American History, and General
Math. Rossi says it looks fine. They talk. She complains
that everything seems so basic and fundamental. Everything has
prerequisites.
Scene 4: At the mill office, Rodney has brought Leslie's repaired car
back and returns him his car keys. He says that he will bill
him at the end of the month. Leslie asks if Rodney has seen
Betty lately. Rodney says he doesn't see Betty. And that he
will always care about Betty.
Scene 5: Elliot and Rachel are eating at the breakfast table in the
Carson kitchen with Constance standing in the background. They
read the story of Matthew's christening in the paper. Elliot
mentioned that he had called in the story to Jerry the
previous night. The door chime rings and Lee is there at the
door. Lee says he wants to take Rachel out sometime. Elliot
tells Lee that he is not good enough for Rachel. Lee says thet
he and Elliot were both dealt a bad hand. Elliot gives him 10
bucks and sends him on his way. Lee asks if Rachel lets him
call her "Allison." Lee puts his hat on and strolls back to
the Peyton limousine.
Scene 6: At the mill, Betty responds to Leslie's summons. He pressures
her to find out what is in the will. Betty says that she
doesn't know what is in the will. He wants her to get the will
from the safe in the upstairs bedroom. Leslie says he wants
her to do it for Rodney. Leslie says Rodney is preeocupied
with girls and gasoline. He says that she owes it to Rodney.
Leslie threatens her with the Blaine report about her escapade
in New York. She says that the Blaine report was a lie.
Preview: Rita talks to Dr. Rossi. Rodney talks to his father. In the
boarding house, Eli talks to Chandler.
RJ: I just get awfully scared sometimes. I get this terrible
feeling that it's all going to end.
RH: I don't want that kind of talk coming from anyone. You
included. And I'm telling you something. I've had enough
of your sermons on morality. Not from you.
Eli: If there is something you don't like about my son, Elliot,
you go talk to him about it. Get out of here, Chandler.
