SIMON FRASIER, ROSE D'ANGELO, LUCINDA WALSH, HENRY COLEMAN, PAUL RYAN

>> Rose: Oh, Ms. Walsh! What did you hear from Desi? Anything about my pop? Is he all right? What about Simon and Paul?
>> Lucinda: I can't find --
>> Rose: Did he take off on his on?
>> Lucinda: I can't find Desi. I can't find anybody that's suppose to be working in this joint. And the wind is -- a storm coming.
>> Henry: I thought you heard the news. Some soldiers came and took Desi away early this morning.
>> Rose: What soldiers? What is this?
>> Henry: You know, soldiers -- the guy in the fatigues and sort of dower facial expression. Hey, is there a radio free Avanya? Now, that could be really helpful.
>> Paul: Rose!
>> Rose: Paul! Paul! I was so worried about you? What happened? Oh, my god.
>> Lucinda: Are you okay?
>> Rose: Did you go on Slade's boat by yourself? What happened?
>> Paul: I was. But before I got there, I found Simon on the side of road.
>> Rose: Well, what happened? What happened? Did you give him the diamond? Did you give Slade the diamond?
>> Simon: No. No, I couldn't get through to make the trade.
>> Lucinda: Was it because of the military?
>> Simon: That's not the half of it. Rose, your father's not the only one in danger here.
>> Rose: Why? What happened?
>> Simon: Mother nature happened. A hurricane's about to rip through this island. We don't want to be here when it does.

Scene 2:
Location: El Capitan Hotel
Scene: Hotel Lobby

SIMON FRASIER, ROSE D'ANGELO, HENRY COLEMAN, LUCINDA WALSH, PAUL RYAN

>> Simon: The dock where Slade's boat is moored is teeming with soldiers.
>> Rose: What are they doing?
>> Simon: Hauling stuff -- weapons, supplies, trying to get everything to a higher ground. All around town, they're rounding up civilians and throwing them into jail.
>> Henry: Well, that's an economical way to deal with an ecological disaster.
>> Rose: What's that mean for my pop? What about Slade? Is he gonna stick around for the diamond, or is he gonna just vamoose before the storm hits?
>> Lucinda: Honey, Slade is not gonna leave without the diamond!
>> Rose: What if he gives up and throws my pop over --
>> Simon: Listen, Rose, Slade has worked too hard and come too far to leave without this.
>> Henry: There's my baby.
>> Rose: Enough already. Would you stop it.
>> Paul: All right. Hey, hey, hey, we got enough time before this storm hits to get Joe out of here.
>> Simon: It's fine. It's fine. I got a plan.
>> Henry: Well, share it, please.
>> Simon: Look, I just want to go upstairs, okay? First, check in with Katie.
>> Lucinda: Darling, Katie is not here. She left.
>> Simon: What?
>> Lucinda: She left. She got a message from Margo, who's quite ill, and she was needed, and she left.
>> Simon: And you believed this message?!
>> Paul: I took her to the airport myself, Simon.
>> Lucinda: The jet took off fine. She's home. She's safe and sound.
>> Simon: You're kidding me, right? Oh! Hijackings are as common as cockroaches down here! Katie --
>> Rose: She had to go, all right? She was worrying about you, but she had to deal with her sister, okay? Don't worry about Katie. She's got nine lives, that one. She'll be fine. But you -- we need you here. Please, do not -- Simon! We need you. Do not freak out on us now.

Scene 3:
Location: El Capitan Hotel
Scene: Hotel Lobby

SIMON FRASIER, ROSE D'ANGELO, PAUL RYAN, LUCINDA WALSH, HENRY COLEMAN

>> Simon: All right, so Katie's left. She's gonna be okay. I have to believe that, right? She's gonna get home safe, and then she's gonna send the jet back for us.
>> Henry: No, wait a minute, wait a minute. Katie leaves an island, and then she promises to send a plane back to pick up those she left behind. Where have I heard that before? And why does it not instill me with confidence?
>> Rose: That's enough, okay? We're goin' home, on that plane, and we're gonna be with my pop, too. All of us.
>> Lucinda: Shh, shh, shh. Hush, hush, kids, please. Simon, you say you have a plan?
>> Simon: Yeah, I know how to get onto Slade's boat.
>> Paul: All right, I'm going with you.
>> Simon: No. I'm gonna get Joe. You stay here, get as many supplies as you can. Tarps, water, whatever you can get your hands on.
>> Henry: I'll start with the bar.
>> Simon: This place is gonna be a zoo as soon as that hurricane hits. People are gonna storm it. I'll get Joe, bring him back here. We're gonna get the hell out of this hole.
>> Lucinda: Good luck.
>> Paul: All right, ladies, let's go!
>> Lucinda: All right, come on, come on.
