Having personally snuck into Alan’s bedroom and taken his phone from his bedside, Sherry Palmer relays the stored phone numbers to her contacts in a bid to identify who they are. The objective of her actions was to expose Alan Milliken for a past event that would see him go to prison. Sherry told Julia Milliken that this would set her free and that everything that is Alan’s would become hers.
When the job appears to be done, Alan enters the kitchen in his wheelchair and asks Julia why she hasn’t come to bed and who she is talking to. He then sees that Sherry is the surprise guest.
Alan: Sherry?
Sherry: Hello, Alan.
Alan: Julia, I’m disappointed in you.
Sherry: I didn’t ask her here.
Alan: But you let her in, and you took my cell phone as well.
Sherry: No, I took the phone.
Alan smiles and manoeuvres his electric wheelchair in the direction of Sherry.
Alan: So what do you think you’re going to do, Sherry? Stop me? That’s not likely.
Sherry: All right. You wanna talk about this out in the open? Fine. What happened to Kevin Kelly?
Alan: Kevin Kelly. The name rings a bell.
Sherry: Oh, it should ring a bell. He’s the man who saw you run over his daughter and kill her twelve years ago. The man you paid a considerable amount of money to keep quiet. And the man you made disappear tonight. So why don’t you chew on that a bit? And maybe we can talk about it a little more tomorrow. Or we can end it now and you can back off David.
Alan Milliken becomes incensed and his hands begin to shake.
Alan: You come into my house after everything I’ve done for your family. I’ve made your children’s father the President of the United States!
Sherry: Wait a minute. Whatever you did to help David was not for the benefit of my children, let’s get that straight. You’re just a small man, Alan, who lords his money over his friends because that’s all you have, that’s all you are. Why do you think your wife had to go out and find another man?
Alan: Don’t you talk to me like this!
Sherry: Why? Because you’re not one!
Alan begins to wheeze as Sherry continues to rip into him without restraint.
Sherry: Not one woman in her right mind would find you attractive without your wealth, Alan. That’s what people want from you. That’s all Julia wants from you. And I’m supposed to be afraid of you? You think I’m scared of you? Oh, you’re just a little boy, Alan. A pathetic, scrawny, sickly little boy!
Alan: Julia. My pills. My pills.
Julia rushes across the kitchen to get them, but Sherry stops her in her tracks.
Sherry: No, don’t.
Julia: What are you doing?
Sherry: Don’t.
Julia: Sherry?
Sherry: Don’t.
Alan: (gasping) Julia. Julia…
Sherry: This is your way out.
Alan: Julia!
Alan desperately gets out of his chair whilst repeating Julia’s name and scrambles to get the pills himself. He manages to take out some but collapses before he can insert them into his mouth.
Julia: We killed him.
Sherry: No, no. No one killed him.
Julia: We watched him die!
Sherry tries to calm Julia down and explain the course of action from here on in.
Sherry: Now, Alan was a sick little man, and his weak body gave out. Nobody was around to help him. And, you… you were in your bedroom. Understand me? You’re free of him, sweetie. That’s all you need to think about. But there’s one thing you’re gonna have to be really clear about. When the authorities come around questioning you. This was an accident.
Julia: I don’t think I can do this.
Sherry: You don’t have a choice! Or else you’re gonna spend the rest of your pretty little life in prison.
Julia: Oh, God!
Sherry tells Julia what to do, or at least the story that she should relay to the authorities; go to her bedroom, stay there for around an hour before going to the kitchen to get a glass of water at which point she sees the body and calls the emergency services.
Sherry: You listen real strong ‘cause this is very crucial. If anyone suspects that I was here, there will be an investigation… and both of us will go to prison. I was never here. You understand me?
Julia visibly struggles with the idea.
Sherry: Julia, you tell me right now that you understand what I’m saying.
Julia: I understand.
Sherry proceeds to leave the house and make her discreet exit.
