JESSICA: (slyly) Better watch your back, Tyler. You never know who's really on your side.
TYLER: (defiantly) I won't let you control me, Jessica. I'll find out the truth, no matter what it takes.
[JESSICA chuckles darkly, her eyes sparking with malice.]
JESSICA: Good luck with that, Tyler. You're going to need it.

EMILY: (whispering to herself) What have I done?
[Jake approaches Emily, a quiet determination in his eyes.]
JAKE: Emily, we need to talk.
