Episode 1 Somerset

Announcer: This is Somerset

We see a shot of Ellen Grant's kitchen. Ellen walks in!
The phone rings

Ellen: Hello, Ellen Grant

The person on the other line is Jill Ellen's daughter

Jill: Hello Mom, I have to talk to you

Ellen: About?

Jill: About Mary
Mary is Jill's daughter, she had her in 1978 after Somerset ended!!

Ellen: What is wrong, has something happened?

Jill: No it is just she called me and she and Kane have gotten back together

Ellen: Well Jill what did you expect he is the father of her child and her husband

Jill: He is also a Kurtz and I do not want my daughter to get involved with that mob family!!

Ellen: Well you should of told her that before she slept with him and got herself pregnant! Then married him!

Jill: Mom

Ellen: Well Jill I only speak the truth, if you did not want your daughter to get involved with a kurtz you should of spoke up before they decided to break the bed in if you catch my drift!!

Jill: You know how Mary is she will not listen to anyone when it comes to the topic of Kane Kurtz

Ellen: Well Jill you should not worry about Kane. He only found out he was a Kurtz 4 years ago when his mother told him before she died and he has not gotten himself involved in the mob like his father did!!
Kane only found out he was the illegitimate son of Leo Kurtz(Somerset mob boss who is now in the witness protection program)when his dying mother told him on her deathbed!!

Jill: Still he is a Kurtz I do not care how long he knew it they are all the same and they will never change!!

Ellen: Well Jill what can we do if they love each other!!

Jill: I will tell you what I will do I will drive up to Whispering Beaches(A nearby suburb where Mary, Kane and there daughter Angela live)and try to talk my daughter out of making the same mistake again!!

Ellen: Oh Jill I wish you would not!!

Jill: To late bye mother(Jill hangs up)

Ellen:(Ellen hangs up)Oh Jill you have a hard head just like that daughter of yours!!

We see a shot of the house next door, a woman walks into this empty house holding a lamp the woman's name is Molly Ryan Scott

Molly: Honey come in and see it!!!

Molly's husband Bill Scott enters the house

Bill: Molly I have seen our new house 5 times already, why do I have to see it again?

Molly: because it is so beautiful! I can not wait till Sarah sees it, when is her Plane arriving again?
Sarah is Molly and Bill's daughter

Bill: Her plane will arrive at 5:30pm we will be at the Somerset airport to pick her up at 3:00pm because I know what you are like you always want to be early!

Molly: I thought she was getting off in Bay City?

Bill: No there was change of plans and she is coming to Somerset!

Molly: Oh good!!

Bill looks out the window

Bill: I wonder when the movers will get here!

Molly: They will get here when they get here!

Bill: Ok, well I guess I will go get the few things we have in the car

Molly: Wait! Why don't you follow me upstairs and we will explore the house some more!!

Bill: I can't

Molly: Why!

Bill: The movers are here

Interesting. I like it but you shouldn't tell us info in the middle of the episode. You should try working it into the conversation. Good job.
