Scene 1:
Location: El Capitan Hotel
Scene: Hotel Lobby/Garden

SIMON FRASIER, ROSE D'ANGELO, PAUL RYAN. LUCINDA WALSH, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Rose: It sounds like the hurricane's getting closer.
>> Simon: They're shutting down the hotel. They're evacuating everyone before the hurricane hits.
>> Rose: What about my pop?!
>> Simon: I'm gonna take care of your father, Rose. I promise. Just get what you need. Get to the airport now, the two of you. Go, go!
>> Rose: All right, okay. I'm going.
>> Lucinda: Come on.
>> Paul: Have you got the diamond, the provenance?
>> Simon: Right here.
>> Paul: All right, now be careful. Slade'll kill you if he finds out you're not Donovan.
>> Simon: You keep your eyes open as well. The airport's gonna be teaming with desperados looking for a way off this island. If they spot Lucinda's plane --
>> Paul: Yeah, and if I'm lucky, I'll be able to persuade her not to shoot them, all right? Good luck.
[ Henry drags in the chest containing "Simon's" body. ]
>> Simon: Take care. Henry, Henry, there's not enough room for your makeup case, buddy.
>> Henry: Oh, that's funny. Why don't you tell that to Desi? He was the one that's supposed to dump the body of your evil twin here. It looks like he forgot.
>> Simon: All right. We can't leave it here, can we?
>> Henry: No, no kidding. You got any bright ideas?
>> Simon: Well, we've gotta unpack it, dump it in the surf.
>> Henry: Unpack it? Do you know how hot it is on this island and how long this body's been in this trunk?
>> Simon: Go off with the ladies, Henry. I'll take care of it.
>> Henry: Oh, you will? Fine. Why not? He's your doppelganger.
[ Simon opens the chest. ]
>> Simon: What the --

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

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

>> "Simon": Sorry to disappoint you.
>> Simon: I thought you were dead.
>> "Simon": Well, you were misinformed.
>> "Simon": Now give me the diamond and the paperwork. And don't tell me you don't have it, because I know you do! I heard you tell your friend Paul.
>> Simon: And why would I hand them over to you?
>> "Simon": Because I'm the one with the knife. And you don't wanna go home to that irritating wife of yours minus an eye.
[ Simon grabs for the knife. ]
>> Simon: You couldn't cut butter with that knife. Next time you point a knife at me, you better be willing to use it.
>> Paul: All right. All right, go on. I got him. I got him, go! Go get to Joe. There's no telling what Donovan's told Slade. Get out of here.
>> Lucinda: Oh, god.
>> Paul: Lucinda, get some rope! Get some rope, go!
>> Lucinda: Okay. All right!
>> Paul: All right. Simon, we'll meet you at the boat.
>> Simon: No. No, it's too dangerous.
>> Paul: Simon, we don't have a choice! The airport is closed. I don't even know if Lucinda's jet's back yet. Go!
>> Simon: All right. Just stay out of sight. Keep off the road, okay? I'll meet you at the harbor. Look for the fishing trawler with the red moon above the water mark. All right?
>> Paul: We'll meet you there. Get out of here! Go!
>> Lucinda: Of course I'm sure he's not dead, for heaven's sake!
>> Paul: Come on, give me the rope!
[ "Simon" is tied to the chair. ]
>> Rose: Paul, you didn't kill him? That's good.
>> Paul: Lucinda --
[ All shouting over each other. ]
>> Lucinda: The knife!
>> Paul: Find his knife!
>> Rose: He's came at you with a knife?
>> Lucinda: I got it!
[ Rose threatnens "Simon" with the knife. ]
>> Rose: Come on. I'm sick and tired of you threatening the people that I love.
>> "Simon": You hurt me and you will never see your dear, old pop again.
>> Rose: If you hurt my pop, I will track you down and kill you myself.
[ Thunder claps ]
>> "Simon:" You haven't got the nerve. And if you think Slade's gonna believe Simon's me, you're crazy.
>> Rose: Slade doesn't care. He doesn't care. He wants what he wants, that guy.
>> Lucinda: And fortunately for us, Slade has got many tacks in his head. He's already accepted Simon as you!
>> "Simon": You sure about that?

Scene 3:
Location: Avanya Harbor
Scene: Slade's Boat

SIMON FRASIER (AS "SIMON"), JOE D'ANGELO, SLADE

>> Slade: That's it. If I don't leave now, I'll never beat this storm out of the harbor.
>> Joe: You're gonna leave without the diamond?
>> Slade: I've been waiting for Donovan for a day and a half. If he was coming, he'd be here by now.
>> Joe: So why don't you let me go? I'm no use to you out on that water.
>> Slade: What are you talkin' about, Joe? You're fish bait. And we all got to eat.
[ Slade laughs. ]
>> Simon: What's so funny?
>> Slade: About time you showed up.
>> Simon: Oh, well, in case you didn't notice, we've got a bit of a storm headed our way. I see the old man's still alive.
>> Slade: You have the diamond?
>> Simon: You'll get your diamond when I take the old man back to his daughter.
>> Slade: Are you telling me she still has the diamond?
>> Simon: No, no, no. I've got the diamond right here with the paperwork.
>> Slade: So, waste the old man, and let's get out of here. Are you going to shoot him, or do I have to?
[Slade hands Simon a gun.]

Scene 4:
Location: Avanya Harbor
Scene: Slade's Boat

SIMON FRASIER (AS "SIMON"), SLADE, JOE D'ANGELO

>> Simon: Hey, hey, have you met his daughter?
>> Slade: Big mouth, bad attitude.
>> Simon: Yeah, that's all. But also, she's loaded. So is her mother. I say we up the ante.
>> Slade: I've never known you to be greedy, Donovan.
>> Simon: She would do anything to get the old man back. You and I, we could walk away with another million.
>> Slade: This guy won't last that long.
>> Simon: Yeah, but they don't have to know that, do they?
>> Slade: Fine. You go make 'em the offer. I'll take care of good-old Joe.
[Simon pulls the gun on Slade.]
>> Simon: Change of plan. I take Joe, and you get out here while you still can.
>> Slade: You think I'm gonna let you go with my diamond? You really think I'd hand you a loaded gun? Mr. Frasier? Now, why don't you both have a seat?
>> Joe: Please, do what he says.
>> Slade see? Even half-dead, he saw through your act. Now hand over the diamond, or you'll never see that little, blonde wife of yours again.

Scene 5:
Location: Avanya Harbor
Scene: Slade's Boat

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

>> Slade: The diamond and the paperwork, now!
>> Simon: Let Joe go, and maybe I'll think about it.
>> Joe: Just give it to him, Simon. Save yourself.
>> Slade: Sorry, Joe. Simon's a do-gooder. Aren't you, Simon? You wouldn't let anything happen to good-old Joe. Now that's pretty. It's been fun, gentlemen, but I'm afraid we're going to have to say good-bye.
[ Simon, Paul, and Slade fighting for the gun. ]
>> Simon: All right, all right.
[ Slade falls overboard.]
>> Paul: Hey, hey, hey. Just let him go. Let him go! Just let him go.
>> Rose: Careful, Paul! Paul? Oh, where is he? Oh, pop! Pop, are you okay.
>> Joe: Oh, Rose, I've never been so happy to see anybody before.
[ Henry picks up the Rose of Sharon, Lucinda takes it out of his hand. ]
>> Lucinda: Why Henry, thank you. How's he doing?
>> Rose: He's got a fever. He needs to drink some water.
>> Joe: Whatever you say, Rosie.
>> Lucinda: Joe, we're gonna get you out of here.
>> Rose: It's all right. It's all right.
>> Simon: Look, we've gotta get to Lucinda's plane.
>> Paul: Not in this storm we're not.
>> Simon: Well, we've gotta get off the island, now.
>> Paul: Is this thing sea-worthy?
>> Simon: Well, she's gonna have to be.
