BETHANY'S LAST OFFER – CONTINUATION
SCENE 4 – INT. LARRY'S HOUSE – NIGHT
The rain has stopped, but the silence inside Larry’s house feels heavier than before.
Larry sits alone on the couch, staring at the ceiling. The envelope Bethany brought is still on the table.
He doesn’t touch it.
A soft knock breaks the silence. Larry stands slowly and opens the door. A man in a dark coat stands outside holding a folder.
MAN: “Are you Larry?”
Larry nods cautiously. The man hands him the folder and leaves without another word. Larry opens it.
Inside are legal documents about Sherry’s mother’s case… and something unexpected — a note saying the case might be reopened if new evidence is provided.
Larry’s eyes widen slightly. For the first time, hope returns.

SCENE 5 – EXT. CITY STREET – NEXT MORNING
Bethany walks slowly through the busy street. The sky is brighter now, but her expression is still heavy.
She replays Sherry’s words in her mind.
Suddenly her phone rings. It’s Larry.
She hesitates… then answers.
BETHANY: “Hello?”
LARRY (V.O): “We need to talk. Not about money… about evidence.”
Bethany stops walking. Something has changed.

SCENE 6 – INT. SHERRY'S HOUSE – AFTERNOON
Sherry sits quietly at the table. Her mother’s empty chair is across from her.
The house feels emptier than ever.
A knock at the door interrupts her thoughts. She opens it slowly.
Bethany and Larry are standing together.
Sherry’s expression tightens instantly.
SHERRY: “Why are you both here?”
Larry steps forward.
LARRY: “Not for money. We found something… something that could reopen your mother’s case.”
Sherry freezes. Her anger fades into confusion.

SCENE 7 – INT. SHERRY'S HOUSE – CONTINUOUS
Bethany slowly speaks.
BETHANY: “I realize now… I was trying to fix things the wrong way. But I don’t want to buy solutions anymore. I want to help the right way.”
Sherry looks at both of them carefully. Silence fills the room again.
Then Sherry finally speaks.
SHERRY: “If this is real… if this can actually help her… then we do it together.”
The tension slowly breaks. Not fully healed… but softened.

FINAL SCENE – EXT. COURTHOUSE – DAY
Weeks later.
The courthouse stands tall under a clear sky.
Sherry walks forward with Larry and Bethany beside her.
This time, there is no envelope. No money. Only documents and truth.
Sherry takes a deep breath.
SHERRY (softly): “Let’s finish this.”
They walk inside together.
The camera slowly rises upward as the doors close behind them… signaling not an ending… but a new beginning built on trust instead of money.
