Scene 1:
Location: Java Underground

SIMON FRASIER AND ISAAC JENKINS

>> Simon: Hey, Isaac? You have a minute?
>> Isaac: Sure. Yeah. What's up?
>> Simon: Look, has Dahlia been back in here since the launch party at all?
>> Isaac: No. But you said she left town. And why would you want to see her anyway? The other night, you were out for her blood.
>> Simon: Yeah, and I wish I had finished the job. Look, if she calls, shows up, if you know anyone who's seen her -
>> Isaac: Anything having to do with Dahlia and Oakdale, you want to know about it.
>> Simon: Exactly. Great, thanks. Look, I've got some more checking to do. Sorry for interrupting the phone call.
>> Isaac: Oh, no, I was receiving a call. It was - it was nothing.
>> Simon: All right. Take care.

Scene 2:
Location: Java Underground

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, ISAAC JENKINS

>> Katie: Oh! Maybe I don't want to know why Simon had Dahlia's keys because I don't want to hear him tell me that she set them in his bag to set him up.
>> Isaac: Well, maybe that's the truth.
>> Katie: Yeah, well, how am I ever going to know for sure?
>> Isaac: There's another way you could find out. You could test him.
>> Katie: How?
>> Isaac: Let's say it's a foregone conclusion that Dahlia planted the keys in the bag.
>> Katie: Okay.
>> Isaac: Okay. Then if it's a setup, the only question is, what will Simon want to do in response?
>> Katie: Right. So I ask him what he wants to do about the keys instead of asking him, "where did you get these?"
>> Isaac: Exactly. See, I don't think Simon has anything to hide. I'm sure he'll probably say, "you know what? Take the keys to Margo as soon as possible."
>> Katie: And what if he doesn't?
>> Isaac: Why is it that I trust your husband more than you do?
>> Katie: Well, you're not married to him. Simon has his secrets.
[Simon enters]
>> Simon: Katie? I've been looking all over for you. Hey, Isaac.
>> Isaac: Hey. I've got some things to take care of.
>> Simon: Okay. How're you doing?
>> Katie: Not good. Actually, you know what? I should just cut to the chase. Recognize these?
>> Simon: Well, judging from what the logo says -- Crimson Dahlia -- they must be Dahlia's car keys.
>> Katie: Right. I was looking for matches in your bag, and I found them. What I'm dying to know is how they got there?
>> Simon: Well, Dahlia's good, I'll give her that. Look, she must have planted them there, right?
>> Katie: Right, to set you up.
>> Simon: You act like you knew I was gonna say that.
>> Katie: Well, I did, and I think that you're right. Dahlia's probably off laughing somewhere, thinking about how she set u up for her disappearance.
>> Simon: Exactly. Exactly, right.
>> Katie: Exactly. So what do we do with the keys? Margo's been really cool about this. We should pr just turn them into her.
>> Simon: No way. No way. Not on your life.

Scene 3:
Location: Java Underground

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, ISAAC JENKINS

>> Katie: I don't get it, Simon. Why wouldn't you want to turn the keys into Margo?
>> Simon: Because I want to handle this.
>> Katie: Yeah, but we need to --
>> Simon: No, I don't want -- I don't want the police involved.
>> Katie: Why not?
>> Simon: All right, look, Dahlia is having us on, okay? She knows that the police are gonna have to investigate any suspicious disappearance. She also knows that on the face of it, the police might think that there's no good reason that I should have those car keys, all right? If the law gets involved now and this whole thing explodes into a huge mess, and I'm the fall guy. It's gonna get totally out of control.
>> Katie: Okay.
>> Simon: Okay. So can I have them? Are you all right?
>> Katie: What are you going to do with them?
>> Simon: I'm gonna make them disappear. Thank you.
>> Katie: For what?
>> Simon: For trusting me. [ Simon leaves ]
>> Isaac: Well, that looked good. Nice kiss at the end. Our boy passed the test, didn't he?
>> Katie: It wasn't a very good test to begin with. I mean, I don't know what it really was going to tell me.
>> Isaac: Nothing you didn't already know, I'm sure.
