Scene 1:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lobby

HENRY COLEMAN, KATIE KASNOFF, JACK SNYDER, PRINCE ADOLPHO

>> Katie: You can't justify waiting any longer, Jack. The jeweler admitted that she fenced the necklace for Simon.
>> Jack: Obviously not all of it.
>> Henry: Why don't I put Katie to bed and let you do what you do?
>> Katie: No, no, I'm not going anywhere, Henry.
>> Prince Adolpho: I hope this matter is finally settled, Detective Snyder.
>> Jack: Yes, Your Highness, I'm sorry to bother you. I think I found something you might be interested in.
>> Prince Adolpho: Where did you get this?
>> Jack: We'll get to that in a minute. Did you bring the documentation?
>> Prince Adolpho: It's right here.
>> Jack: May I?
>> Henry: Hey, look at that. I had one of those once.
>> Prince Adolpho: Quiet! I'm concentrating. Yes, this diamond was part of the original necklace. It has all the markings.
>> Jack: You're sure?
>> Prince Adolpho: It's a very rare and precious stone, Detective. I want the man who stole it returned to my country to face justice.
>> Jack: Yes, I will handle that from here.
>> Prince Adolpho: I assume you'll recover the rest of the jewels as well?
>> Jack: We've got a lead on who sold them, and I'll contact you as soon as I make a few more arrests.
>> Prince Adolpho: I'm not leaving until I'm assured you have Simon Frasier in custody.
>> Katie: Jack, you have to go arrest Simon now, or the prince's people will.
>> Jack: Back off, Katie. Nobody tells me how to do my job, least of all you.


Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Room

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: How do you do it? How do you get me to change my mind without me even knowing I've changed it?
>> Simon: You didn't have to change your mind. You came up here wanting that as much as I did.
>> Carly: No. No, as a matter of fact, I came up here to tell you to leave me alone.
>> Simon: And yet, here you are. What is it?
>> Carly: I'm just thinking about what you said about Jack. I hate the idea of him using the kids to threaten me, keep me away from you.
>> Simon: Jack just thinks I'm guilty, okay? But the one thing he's missing is the proof. He's just using scare tactics.
>> Carly: Simon, just tell me again -- tell me again that that diamond is gone for good.
>> Simon: It is. It is. That diamond cannot hurt us anymore. If I thought that it could --
>> Carly: You'd have come up with a plan B.
>> Simon: And a plan C and a plan D. I'm not going to lose you because of that stupid diamond.
>> Carly: And I'm not going to leave you again. This is where I belong. This is where I want to be.
>> Simon: I've missed you.
>> Carly: I've missed you, too. And now that I've made up my mind not to be intimidated, I'm going to go and tell Jack.
>> Simon: Maybe I should come with you.
>> Carly: No. No, Simon, this is definitely something I should do myself.
>> Simon: Okay, fine. Listen, Carly, I need you to know that I would never risk your freedom. If I thought Jack had a case, I would have walked away from this, okay? I would never have pushed this so hard.
>> Carly: Well, I'm so glad you did. But you know, we still have a problem.
>> Simon: Okay, what's that?
>> Carly: It's a she. Her name is Katie. And she's not going to let this thing go.
>> Simon: Katie? Look, I almost feel sorry for her. She's had a rough holiday.
>> Carly: Yeah, who didn't? I enjoyed being with my kids, but I missed you. And half the time I kept thinking, I wish Simon were here. And I was fantasizing about that trip that you wanted us to take, trading in the Christmas tree for a palm tree.
>> Simon: Okay, then. So, next year, Hawaii.
>> Carly: All of us.
>> Simon: Yeah, all of us.
>> Carly: Now, are you going to stand here like this, or are you going to join me in the shower?
>> Simon: Well, that all depends on what you're offering.


Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lobby

HENRY COLEMAN, KATIE KASNOFF, JACK SNYDER, PRINCE ADOLPHO

>> Jack: Thank you. I'll call the station and issue a warrant.
>> Katie: How long will that take?
>> Jack: However long it takes. Henry --
>> Henry: Why don't we let the lawman practice the law, sweetheart?
>> Katie: Jack, I know it's going to be difficult for you, when you realize that Carly was guilty --
>> Jack: Carly had nothing to do with stealing those jewels, Katie.
>> Katie: She was wearing that diamond around her neck for weeks.
>> Jack: And you broke into her house and stole it, it turns out it was a fake.
>> Katie: Yeah, but it looked exactly like that one. She had a spare made to throw people off. Come on, Jack, why is it everyone else sees the truth except for you?
>> Jack: I rely on evidence, Katie, not opinion. Henry, will you please take her home now?
>> Henry: Yes.
>> Prince Adolpho: I'm not a fool, Detective. I know of your ex-wife's involvement with Frasier.
>> Jack: They're not involved anymore, Your Highness.
>> Prince Adolpho: She was seen with him the night the jewels were taken.
>> Katie: And it's not like she's never been in trouble before. She is on probation right now, for crying out loud --
>> Jack: Do you have a charge to make, Katie? Do you have any new evidence? Besides the diamond -- which has no link to Carly that I've found.
>> Katie: I know how Simon operates.
>> Jack: Take responsibility for your own actions. I'll make Simon pay for his. And if you have anything else to say about this investigation, there better be more behind it than a grudge.
>> Henry: You heard the man.
>> Katie: All right, fine. But I'm not going anywhere until you go upstairs and read Simon his rights.
>> Jack: I have something to take care of first. It's none of your business.


Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Room

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, JACK SNYDER

>> Simon: Are you sure you don't want me to tell Jack with you?
>> Carly: No. No, I'm going to tell him alone.
>> Simon: Meet you back here?
>> Carly: You know, you keep this up, I'll never leave.
>> Simon: Exactly --
[ Cell phone rings ]
>> Carly: It's Jack.
>> Simon: Yeah, yeah -- that man has a radar.
>> Carly: Well, I have to answer it.
>> Simon: Don't let me stop you.
>> Carly: Hello?
>> Jack: Hey, where are you?
>> Carly: I'm just headed back into the dining room. I got a call from Emma. Sage wasn't feeling well.
>> Jack: Is she okay?
>> Carly: Yes, yes, I think so. It was just her cold acting up. She went right back to bed.
>> Jack: Maybe I should call her.
>> Carly: No, no, I wouldn't do that. I'm sure they're both asleep by now. What's up?
>> Jack: I just got proof from Prince Adolpho that Simon did steal the necklace.
>> Carly: The prince is here?
>> Jack: And he's out for blood. I issued an arrest warrant for Simon. I'm waiting for it to get here. Carly, just be thankful that you're through with Frasier. This is going to get ugly real fast. I'm just glad you won't be anywhere near the fallout when it does.


Scene 5:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lobby

HENRY COLEMAN, KATIE KASNOFF, VIENNA HYATT, PRINCE ADOLPHO
>> Katie: I didn't order that.
>> Henry: Emergency rations. Okay, what did Mike say?
>> Katie: I couldn't get through.
>> Henry: So, he doesn't know?
>> Katie: He's screening his calls. Can you call from your cell phone?
>> Henry: Come on, he'd know that you put me up to it.
>> Katie: I don't care. I just want him to know about Simon's arrest.
>> Henry: And that will change the status quo, how?
>> Katie: It will.
>> Henry: I see. It will.
>> Vienna: Well, hello, Dolly! Happy New Year.
>> Prince Adolpho: We will see how happy it is.
>> Vienna: You're not still mad at poor, little Vienna, are you?
>> Prince Adolpho: You've scandalized my whole kingdom.
>> Vienna: You used to love it when we scandalized the kingdom.
>> Prince Adolpho: If you had kept your wits about you that night at the party, I wouldn't have to travel halfway around the world to recover my family's stolen property.
>> Vienna: Recover? As in get back?
>> Prince Adolpho: Detective Snyder is about to arrest the thief. And if he doesn't, I will take matters into my own hands.
>> Henry: Oh!
>> Vienna: Jack's making an arrest?
>> Katie: Simon's going to finally get what he deserves, yeah.
>> Henry: She says, with great compassion.
>> Katie: Why should I be compassionate? The man ruined my life, again.
>> Vienna: Did they find the jewels?
>> Henry: Yeah, just one down, a few hundred carats to go.
>> Katie: The point is that Jack knows Simon's behind it, finally. That's all that matters.
>> Vienna: Is that one spoken for?
>> Henry: It is now.
>> Vienna: This calls for a celebration.
>> Henry: You see, now this is a woman who understands the meaning of the word perspective.
>> Katie: The only person I want to celebrate with is Mike.
>> Vienna: Don't be such a party pooper. The man's divorcing you, Katie. Take it from a woman who knows. The only way to get over an old love is to get a new one -- fast.


Scene 6:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Room

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: You have to get yourself together. You have to get out of here!
>> Simon: Carly, relax, relax.
>> Carly: You're going to have plenty of time to relax in jail if you don't get dressed and get out of here!
>> Simon: Tell me exactly what Jack said.
>> Carly: He used the word proof. Proof, as in evidence. And he's getting an arrest warrant!
>> Simon: Listen, Jack probably just knows where you are, he doesn't like it, and he's making noise about an arrest.
>> Carly: No, not this time. He means it this time. I heard it in his voice.
>> Simon: Well, if that's true, then you should be the one that leaves.
>> Carly: Not without you.
>> Simon: Carly, I'm going to be fine. Jack will come up here, he'll threaten me a lot, he'll make a lot of ruckus and then he'll leave.
>> Carly: He'll leave, and he'll take you with him! You in handcuffs!
>> Simon: Listen, even if he does have an arrest warrant, he's got nothing to hold me on.
>> Carly: How can you be so calm about this?
>> Simon: Sweetheart, because I can be. I know, because I'm right. But he's not going to be so happy if he comes up and finds you here. So, please, go home and wait for me to call.
>> Carly: Okay. Okay, but you call me soon, as soon as you can.
>> Simon: Baby, I promise. My one call will be to you.
>> Carly: Don't even joke about that.
>> Simon: Okay. Can you please, just go? Leave, now, before he gets here.
>> Carly: Yes.
>> Simon: Go, go, I'll be fine.

SIMON FRASIER, JACK SNYDER
[ Pounding on door ]
>> Jack: Simon! Frasier, come out with your hands where I can see them.
[ Jack finds Carly's earring ]


Scene 8:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Lobby

HENRY COLEMAN, KATIE KASNOFF, VIENNA HYATT
>> Katie: You don't know what you're talking about.
>> Vienna: I know what's been going on with Mike. Emma Snyder's farmhouse has great food, but very thin walls.
>> Katie: I don't know what you've heard, and I don't care. Once Mike finds out that Simon is finally going to pay for what he's done, it'll all change.
>> Vienna: Has she always been like this? You know, living in a dream world?
>> Henry: Well, can you blame her? Sometimes reality is pretty hard to take.
>> Vienna: You're very patient with her.
>> Henry: She's my friend.
>> Vienna: Well, if you decide if you want more than friendship, you know where to find me.
>> Katie: God, I hate her!
[ Henry sighs ]
>> Henry: She's not wrong, Bubbles.
>> Katie: She's not right.
>> Henry: Look, you got part of what you want here, all right? Simon's going to be locked up. Can't you just settle for that?
>> Katie: No, I can't. I need Mike!
>> Henry: Look at me, okay? I have spent years wanting for you what you want for you.
>> Katie: So why side with her?
>> Henry: I'm not siding with anyone. I'm just telling you, no matter how badly you want it, Mike is not coming back. This is the one time I can't tell you what you want to hear.
>> Katie: Then don't tell me anything at all.


Scene 9:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Dining Room

CARLY SNYDER, JACK SNYDER

>> Jack: I didn't think you were still here.
>> Carly: Did you arrest him?
>> Jack: Simon wasn't in his room. Somebody must have tipped him off.
>> Carly: Well, I'm sure that he won't be very hard to find. I need to get back to the party. I told Parker I'd drive him back to the farm.
>> Jack: You were in Simon's room when I called, weren't you?
>> Carly: No. Jack, I told you, I was on the phone with Emma --
>> Jack: Don't lie to me.
>> Carly: Don't talk to me like that.
>> Jack: Then explain this.
