Scene 1:
Place: Malta
Location: Argotti Gardens Opera House
Scene: Dungeon

KATIE FRASIER AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Katie: Shh, shh!
>> Simon: What?
>> Katie: I heard footsteps, but they're gone now. It's okay. Go ahead.
>> Simon: Okay.
>> Katie: Can I ask you something?
>> Simon: Only if it includes the phrase "Can I help?"
>> Katie: I'm serious, Simon. I've been help. Wasn't it my cross that got us out of those handcuffs in the first place?
>> Simon: Yes. Yes, it was. How can I help you, Katie?
>> Katie: When we get out of here --
>> Simon: We run to the closest sanctuary is what we do.
>> Katie: I'm not talking about here here. I'm talking about Malta and everything. When we get out, what's gonna happen between you and me?

Scene 2:
Scene: Dungeon

SIMON FRASIER AND KATIE FRASIER

>> Simon: Okay, what is wrong with this picture, Katie? We're hostages here, trying to get through that wall before a bunch of gun-happy goons burst in here to finish us off, and you, what do you want to do? You want to have a cup of tea? You want to take a moment out for an in-depth analysis of our romantic potential?
>> Katie: No time like the present.
>> Simon: Here. Yeah, take this. This is all yours 'cause you obviously don't have enough to do. I'm going to listen for the guards. You work your way through that wall. Excellent!
>> Katie: Our entire relationship and future that I'm talking about.
>> Simon: Our entire future, Katie, could be less than your two-minute attention span if we don't get through that wall.
>> Katie: Well, if life outside of this prison doesn't include you in it, frankly, I'd just as soon stay here.
>> Simon: Fine. Fine. Here, give me that. Suit yourself. Because as soon as I can squeeze through that wall, I'm out of here.
>> Katie: You would, wouldn't you? Just take off and never look back. Fine. Don't even think about me, growing pencil-thin as I waste away in this disgusting joint. Losing every little bit of color I had in my face from baking in the sun, looking for your diamond. Don't think about me getting ravaged and molested by those gross guards out there. No, no, no, you just go home and you enjoy being back at the Lakeview, lounging around. And when people come up to you and they say, "Hey, Simon, whatever happened to that perky, little blonde that used to be married to you?" You can just say, (in Australian accent) "I dunno, mate, dunno. Last time I saw her, she was eatin' bugs off a store room floor in Maltese."
>> Simon: I thought you didn't want to be called perky.
>> Katie: Simon --
>> Simon: Listen, Katie. Didn't I come and rescue you off that island? Didn't I? Yes? Yes, I did.
>> Katie: Yes, you did. Probably because you thought I had your diamond. And you yelled at me the entire way home. And when I finally got you to admit that you actually loved me, you promised me a good night of good old- fashioned you-know-what, and did I ever collect even an hour of it? No. No. What are we doing instead? We're risking our lives for your ex-girlfriend who, might I add, never gave you a second of happiness. And even though just yesterday, I got you to promise to spend three days with me in a honeymoon suite because I had the perfect handcuff release tool just where you could get it, I'm not holding out any hope of you ever fulfilling that promise.

Scene 3:
Scene: Dungeon

KATIE FRASIER AND SIMON FRASIER

[Simon kisses Katie]
>> Katie: Mm, more.
>> Simon: No, no, please, please. And what if you -- don't talk. Please don't talk.
>> Katie: But Simon --
>> Simon: No, no, no. Enough. Look, I'm getting somewhere in that wall, okay? And when I'm done, we're out of here -- both of us.
>> Katie: Okay, but about afterwards, you never answered my question.
>> Simon: Come on.
>> Katie: What are you doing?
>> Simon: I'm answering your question. Okay?
>> Katie: You mean -- you mean if we get out of here and we get past those madmen and we actually get off this idiotic island, when we get back to Oakdale --
>> Simon: If we get back to Oakdale, we'll take it one day at a time, all right? Now let's get out of here, okay? Yes?
>> Katie: Well, don't let me stop you. Fire up those muscles and dig.
>> Simon: All right.

LILY SNYDER'S SCREAMS ARE HEARD FROM THE DUNGEON

[Lily screams.]
>> Lily: No!

SIMON FRASIER AND KATIE FRASIER

>> Simon: Oh, my God, that was Lily.

Scene 4:
Scene: Dungeon

KATIE FRASIER AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Katie: How could you possibly know that was Lily? How would you know what her scream sounds like?
>> Simon: I've heard her scream before.
>> Katie: Oh, don't even make me ask.
>> Simon: Listen, Lily and I have been through some tough spots. I definitely know that was her.
>> Katie: Fine. Where did it come from?
>> Simon: Somewhere in the opera house. Look, we've got to get to her, okay?
>> Katie: Wait a minute, Simon.
>> Simon: We don't -- can you just quit it with your insane jealousy for just two seconds, please?
>> Katie: If you would stop bossing me around for two seconds, you would know that I know how to get past those guards.
>> Simon: Fine. How?
>> Katie: Brains, baby. I think it's about time that Samson put down his tool and let Delilah take over.
Scene 5:
Scene: Dungeon

KATIE FRASIER AND A GUARD

>> Katie: Please, please help me. Help me! Please! It's Simon. He's gone. He took off, and I don't know what to do! I'm sorry, I was trying to be good, but he just kept insisting on leaving. Please, I don't know what to do. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please don't hurt me for this.
>> Bodyguard #1: Dove? Dove?
>> Katie: Right here.
>> Bodyguard #1: Where?
>> Katie: Right here. He went through this hole in the wall and then he drug these in front of it. That selfish con artist didn't even take me with him!
>> Bodyguard #1: What is this? You are playing with me?
>> Katie: What? No, I don't know what you mean.
[Simon comes out if hiding and attacks the guard]

Scene 6:
Scene: Dungeon

KATIE FRASIER AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Katie: Simon? Simon? Oh, oh, thank God. I was so worried. Are you okay? Are you okay?
>> Simon: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. Let's get out of here. Stay close behind me, okay?
>> Katie: No, I should probably go first. I'm a better distraction.
>> Simon: No, I've got the gun. Stick close behind me, please.
>> Katie: Okay. Like glue, sweetheart, now and forever.
>> Simon: You ready?
>> Katie: Yeah. [Gunshots.] Look.
