Scene 1:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Carly Snyder Home
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, KATIE KASNOFF, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Carly: You're driving me crazy.
>> Simon: That's the idea.
>> Carly: I thought the idea was to get inside before we scandalize the neighbors.
[ Inside the house ]
>> Henry: Come on, Martha Stewart, let's get out of here before we get caught.
>> Katie: We don't want Carly to know anyone was here.
>> Henry: When she notices her diamond's missing, I think she'll catch on.
>> Katie: Why are you whispering?
>> Henry: I don't know. Heebie jeebies. Let's go.
>> Katie: I can't believe we found it. Proof that Simon stole the jewels of Leonia. He'll go to jail and then Mike will come back to me and --
>> Henry: They're on the porch.
[ Henry and Katie dive behind the couch as Simon and Carly enter the house. ]
>> Carly: I never unlocked this door. It must have been open.
>> Simon: You sure?
>> Carly: The keys are still in my hand. And I know I locked it when I left. Someone's been here.
>> Simon: Maybe Jack stopped by?
>> Carly: He would have called me. And he'd never leave the door unlocked.
>> Simon: I guess you were just so eager to see me you forgot to lock up.
>> Carly: You're cute, but not that cute. No, no, somebody's been here. Something doesn't feel right.
>> Simon: I tell you what's not right.
>> Carly: What? No, I'm serious. I feel funny. I feel like someone's been here.
>> Simon: I seriously think you're trying to avoid me.
>> Carly: Now, why would I be trying to avoid you?
>> Simon: Still mad at me for what I said about Jack?
>> Carly: No, I'm not mad about Jack. I just wish this situation hadn't gotten so out of control. And I wish --
>> Simon: What? I hadn't bought that building? I hadn't hired you? I hadn't made us both very, very rich?
>> Carly: If I didn't have so much baggage.
>> Simon: Oh, come on. If you didn't, then you wouldn't be who you are and I wouldn't want to spend every single minute of every single day with you.
>> Carly: Yeah, why haven't you run for the hills, hmm?
>> Simon: Carly, every single person I have cared about I have run from. But you have backed me every single step of the way and I'm going to do the same thing for you. I promise you, I'm going to protect you.
Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Carly Snyder Home
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, KATIE KASNOFF, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Carly: What time is it?
>> Simon: Time to take off your watch.
>> Carly: Jill's mom is dropping Sage off before the fair tonight.
>> Simon: That's not for hours.
>> Carly: Knowing you? We could still be here.
>> Simon: So let's take this party upstairs.
[ Katie and Henry sneak out ]
>> Henry: They know how to make them, down under.
>> Katie: You're not helping, Henry.
>> Henry: Just be grateful we didn't get caught. You okay?
>> Katie: He is so going to jail.
>> Henry: For sleeping with Carly?
>> Katie: For stealing this diamond. This is proof, Henry. Proof that they stole Prince Adolpho whatshisname's jewels.
>> Henry: So let's take it to Jack.
>> Katie: I have a better idea.
Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Carly Snyder Home/Java
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, SAGE SNYDER, JILL
[ Phone ringing ]
>> Simon: Let it go to voice mail!
>> Carly: It could be one of the kids! Hello?
>> Sage: Mommy?
>> Carly: Hey, sweetie, are you okay?
>> Sage: I'm fine.
>> Carly: How's your science project?
>> Sage: Hard. It's taking a long time.
>> Carly: You'll get it done, Sage. I can come back to Java, look at what you've got if you want.
>> Sage: That's okay. But can I ride to the science fair with Jill and her mom?
>> Carly: So you can have more time to work? Sure. If that's what you want. I'll meet you guys there.
>> Sage: Remember it's not at school.
>> Carly: I remember. I'll meet you at Memorial Hospital, at the entrance to the fair, okay?
>> Sage: I'll tell Jill's mom.
>> Carly: Are you okay, sweetheart? You sound a little worried.
>> Sage: We're making a solar system and we don't have a sun.
>> Carly: A sun. How about some gold paper or maybe some tinfoil? Or maybe some glitter glue - something sparkly - like sunlight?
>> Sage: I know just what to use! Thanks, Mommy.
>> Carly: Anytime, Sweetie. I'll see you at the hospital. And I can't wait to see your project.
>> Jill: What did your mom say?
>> Sage: I can stay. And she gave me the best idea for the sun.
>> Simon: Was that one of the kids?
>> Carly: Sage.
>> Simon: What's wrong?
>> Carly: My necklace. I know I put it here somewhere - it's gone.
Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Outside Stores
KATIE KASNOFF, MIKE KASNOFF
>> Katie: Thanks for coming.
>> Mike: I don't have much time.
>> Katie: This won't take long. I just wanted you to know that I was serious about going after Simon.
>> Mike: Katie --
>> Katie: I know that he and Carly stole the jewels of Leonia. And I want you to be there when they're arrested.
>> Mike: Katie, without proof --
>> Katie: They're guilty. I can prove it. And they're going away - Simon's going to jail - and I'm going to put him there.
>> Mike: How? The police have been after him for years --
>> Katie: I told you - I have proof.
>> Mike: A witness? A confession? Short of that, I don't see how you can prove anything. Where'd you get that?
>> Katie: I found it. At Carly's.
>> Mike: You mean you stole it.
>> Katie: Somebody had to follow up - the police weren't doing anything.
>> Mike: Katie -- stolen evidence isn't evidence of anything but that you broke the law. You're going to get in a lot of trouble.
>> Katie: I don't care. I promised you I'd get Simon out of my life and I have.
>> Mike: You promised me?
>> Katie: Don't you remember? We were standing right over there - I was signing books. And you told me that I had to get him out of my life and I promised you I would.
>> Mike: By breaking and entering?
>> Katie: I did what I had to do.
>> Mike: As usual - in the world according to Katie. Where breaking and entering - and stealing - just leave me out of it.
>> Katie: But Mike - I did it for you.
Scene 5:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Carly Snyder Home
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER
>> Simon: Where did you leave it?
>> Carly: Right here. I remember, I walked in the door, I was still mad at you and I took it off and tossed it on the couch.
>> Simon: All right, the couch.
>> Carly: I checked. It's not there.
>> Simon: All right. It's not in the couch. Sage. What about Sage? Would she have taken it?
>> Carly: No, she wouldn't take it. She's not like that.
>> Simon: Well, it was a very pretty thing.
>> Carly: Yeah, but she knows it's mine. She wouldn't do it, I'm telling you.
>> Simon: Okay. It's got to be here somewhere. It's just a fake diamond. We threw the real one in the river.
>> Carly: I know. It's just every time I think this is over, something happens.
>> Simon: The only thing this time is we lost a fake diamond.
>> Carly: Right. I know. I'm sorry. I don't want to overreact. I just -- I have kind of a bad feeling about this.
>> Simon: Look, it's no wonder. I get it. You haven't had a calm moment in weeks. It's all my fault, all right? It's all my stupidity.
>> Carly: You also made me a small fortune. You've made me feel like a designer again. And every morning when I wake up, I can't wait to see you. I'm happy. And I'm hopeful. And even if I'm still afraid that we're going to get caught, Simon, I wouldn't trade it.
>> Simon: Listen to me. If something does happen, I don't think it will because there's no evidence to connect us to the crime. But if something does happen -- look at me -- you have to give me your solemn vow that you will walk away. I'm going to take 100% of the blame for this, all right? You are in the clear.
>> Carly: Wait, wait, wait.
>> Simon: No, I mean this.
>> Carly: No, no. The door was open when we got here. And I know that I locked it when I left. So that means that someone came in, and took the necklace. And I bet I know who that someone is. Katie.
Scene 6:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Outside Stores
KATIE KASNOFF, MIKE KASNOFF
>> Mike: I never told you to break into Carly's house.
>> Katie: I know. I know. This is all on me, and I will go to jail if I have to to prove I'm over Simon. It will be worth it.
>> Mike: No, it won't.
>> Katie: I want you to know that I heard you when you told me to be very clear about Simon.
>> Mike: For yourself.
>> Katie: Right. And I've done that. That's why I had to go over there today. Simon is a pro. He knows Jack is after him. If I didn't grab that diamond he would have fenced it or hidden it or done something with it and it would be gone. We would have lost any chance of seeing him to go to jail.
>> Mike: You're probably right about that. Now we have the evidence. And between you and me, I really don't think Jack is going to care where I got it. He's not any happier with Simon than we are.
>> Mike: But if Carly is involved, I don't know how Jack will deal with that.
>> Katie: We'll take it to Margo or some other cop. We have to get this done. Come with me and see Simon arrested.
>> Mike: I wouldn't mind seeing Simon brought down. All right.
Scene 7:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Police Department
KATIE KASNOFF, MIKE KASNOFF, POLICEMAN
>> Katie: Excuse me, we'd like to talk to Detective Snyder.
>> Policeman: I'm sorry, he's not here right now.
>> Katie: Then we'll wait.
>> Policeman: It might be a while.
>> Katie: That's okay.
>> Mike: Katie, I've got things to do.
>> Katie: More important than nailing Simon Frasier?
Scene 8:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Carly Snyder Home
SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, SAGE SNYDER, JILL
>> Carly: I'm telling you - Katie broke in here and took my necklace.
>> Simon: That seems a little extreme - even for Katie. Then what?
>> Carly: She'll take it to Jack.
>> Simon: And he'll take it to an expert and he will say, Jack, it's a fake.
>> Carly: You don't think he'll take it to the jeweler?
>> Simon: And ask what? It's over. Even if Katie did take the necklace, there is nothing to link us to the princess jewels.
>> Carly: I don't know. I don't know, Simon. It just -- it feels so --
>> Simon: Look, I know what you're feeling, okay? It's guilty. All right. Because you know what you've done, but they don't. Those feelings are natural.
>> Carly: I think what those feelings mean is that I'm definitely not cut out to be a jewel thief.
>> Simon: Well, that's good. That's really handy because apparently I just quit the profession. So now you and I can be good together.
>> Carly: I like to think that we already are good together.
>> Simon: I think we are, too. Now we can focus on our next project, another building, a hotel maybe, maybe you can try your hand at designing the interior of airplanes. There's big business in private planes these days.
>> Carly: That sounds like fun.
>> Simon: We can just concentrate on growing our business, do some traveling.
>> Carly: Well, I have two kids, remember them.
>> Simon: So what. We'll take them with us.
>> Carly: We'll take them with us. You know what happened the last time I had my kids at an airport?
>> Simon: You were probably alone much this time you're not going to be. Carly, listen. We're going to be good. We're going to really, really get to know each other. None of it will have anything to do with diamonds or breaking the law or anything that will keep us up at night. It's all blue skies ahead for us. We are going to be fine. Because we threw that real diamond in the river. And you know what? That was the best thing we ever did.
[ At Java ]
>> Sage: My mom's diamond was right next to my magic crystal. I hope I picked up the right one.
>> Jill: If they look the same, it doesn't matter.
>> Sage: They're exactly the same. You're right, it doesn't matter.
