Scene 1:
Location: Holden & Lily's House

SIMON FRASIER, LILY WALSH SNYDER, HOLDEN SNYDER

>> Lily: Simon. Hi, what a nice surprise.
>> Simon: Lily, hi. Good to see you.
>> Lily: Come in.
>> Simon: Thank you. Look, sorry to bother you guys. I was just wondering if I could ask you and Holden a quick question.
>> Lily: Sure. Come on. We just dropped the kids off at Emma's, so we have all the time in the world.
>> Holden: Hey, Simon.
>> Simon: Hey, Holden. Look, guys, have you heard from Jack?
>> Holden: I thought Jack was on his way to France?
>> Lily: Yeah, to Marseilles. He has a lead on those coffins that were used to get Rose and Emily out of the country.
>> Simon: Yeah, well, that was the plan. But he never actually checked in at the airport. I thought he might have called, left a message. Any suggestion to why he might be delayed?
>> Holden: No, no, he didn't.
>> Lily: So if Jack is not in France, where is he?

Scene 2:
Location: Holden & Lily's House

SIMON FRASIER, LILY WALSH SNYDER, HOLDEN SNYDER

>> Holden: Hello? It was Jack.
>> Simon: You're kidding.
>> Holden: No, no, it says right here. Maybe we had a bad connection or something.
>> Lily: Did he leave a message?
>> Holden: No.
>> Simon: Call him back. Can you call him back?
>> Holden: Sure. He's not picking up.
>> Simon: Damn.
>> Lily: What? What is it?
>> Simon: No, he's just a hard man to reach.
>> Holden: Why do you need to reach him, Simon?
>> Simon: It's Margo's idea. Look, they're really short-staffed with Hal out. She just wanted me to hook up with Jack, but I just can't seem to find the guy.
>> Lily: Did you try his house?
>> Simon: Margo and I went by. No one answered. I just figured he'd already taken off. Well, do you have a key or something? I'll just swing by and take a look. Nothing, no big deal.
>> Holden: No, we don't have a key.
>> Lily: Mitzi has a key. She's staying at Rose's while Jack is away. So can you call?
>> Holden: Yeah, I'll call.
>> Simon: Lily, just do me a favor. If you see Katie, I didn't stop by. Okay?
>> Lily: Why?
>> Simon: Oh, well, Margo wants me to keep helping her out under wraps. I shouldn't even be here talking to you. I just thought Holden would be my best shot at trying to track down Jack.
>> Lily: That's fine. You think you should be keeping things from your wife?
>> Simon: Look, I'll tell her, just not tonight. It's her birthday. I've already screwed up royally.
>> Lily: Oh, it's -- yeah, she'll forgive you, I'm sure, under the circumstances.
>> Simon: It's actually not that. I got a little postcard from my past.
>> Lily: Oh. Legal trouble?
>> Simon: No.
>> Lily: But serious.
>> Simon: Confronting. I'm sorry to be so mysterious about it. I just can't get into that.
>> Lily: Call me if you need anything.
>> Holden: Okay, Mitzi is gonna meet you over Jack's with the key.
>> Simon: Oh, that is great. Look, thank you guys so much, but please, just don't tell anyone about this. Thank you.

Scene 3:
Location: Jack Snyder's House

SIMON FRASIER, MITZI MATTERS

>> Mitzi: Hey!
>> Simon: Hey, Mitz, thank you for coming by and letting me in. I appreciate it.
>> Mitzi: Anything for Jack. I've got keys to half the places in town -- so, Holden said you were helping Jack with somethin'?
>> Simon: Uh, yeah, yeah. He left an instruction for me inside.
>> Mitzi: Is it a letter? 'Cause I didn't see anything when I cleaned up. Here we go.
>> Simon: Thank you. [ Simon starts for the stairs ]
>> Mitzi: You think he left a note for you upstairs?
>> Simon: I'm just gonna check up here.
>> Mitzi: Why don't you check the desk first? Oh, and by the way, he keeps everything that he hasn't figured out what to do with in that drawer right there, which yours truly is not allowed to touch.
>> Simon: All right. Thanks, Mitzi.
>> Mitzi: Is it hot in here?
>> Simon: Ah, yeah. Yeah, it is, a little. Now that you say that.
>> Mitzi: I bet he forgot to turn off the thermostat.
>> Simon: "Unsolved." Stenbeck.
>> Mitzi: Not only did he forget to turn down the thermostat, he turned it up. You know, I better go upstairs and make sure he didn't leave the tub running.
>> Simon: That's a good idea.That guy has a one-track mind, which is probably what makes him such a good cop. He's always so focused, and --

Scene 4:
Location: Jack Snyder's House

SIMON FRASIER, MITZI MATTERS

>> Simon: Mitzi? Mitzi!
[ Jack's Bedroom ]
>> Mitzi: I'll be right down. I left a sweater here. I thought I might as well look for it. Did I leave it in the closet? [ Mitzi goes to open the closet door where Julia is holding Jack hostage, but is interrupted by Simon ]
>> Simon:[ calls Mitzi from downstairs ] Mitz? Mitz, you ready?
>> Mitzi: Did you find what you were lookin' for?
>> Simon: No. No, I didn't.
>> Mitzi: I can't find my sweater either. You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say this house was haunted.

Scene 5:
Location: Jack Snyder's House

SIMON FRASIER, MITZI MATTERS

>> Simon: Thanks again, Mitz. I really appreciate it.
>> Mitzi: Okay. [ sees the flowers in the wastepaper basket ] What the -- why would he throw these out?
>> Simon: I don't know. He probably thought they'd die before he got back.
>> Mitzi: They last forever. And he said they were his favorite. He told me he loved them. Whatever.
