Scene 1:
Place: Somewhere in Malta
Location: Castle
Scene: Dungeon

LILY SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Lily: This is it. This is Holden's ring.
>> Simon: Are you sure?
>> Lily: I'm sure. We had matching rings. We had our initials and the date of our wedding engraved in there. Look, it's in there. It's his ring. Oh, they were here. They were right here, and I was too late! I'm so sorry! Oh, my husband and my son!
>> Simon: Look at me, all right? Look at me. It's gonna be all right. It's gonna be okay.
>> Lily: No, it's not gonna be okay. It's never gonna be okay again. I got to get out of here!
>> Simon: Where are you gonna go?
>> Lily: I just want to die! I want to die!
>> Simon: You do not want to die. Don't say that.
>> Lily: Just please, I can't stay here anymore where my husband and my son took their last breath. How could they be so cruel to kill a defenseless man and my baby? They killed them! They killed my little boy! How can I live without them? I can't take this! I've got to get out of this place!
>> Simon: Just wait.
>> Lily: I can't wait. I lost everything! I lost everything! They're gone!

Scene 2:
Scene: Dungeon

SIMON FRASIER AND LILY SNYDER

>> Simon: This isn't right.
>> Lily: No, it isn't right, and I'm standing here in the blood of my son and my husband -- the two men that I've loved my entire life.
>> Simon: Please, just listen, Lily --
>> Lily: I don't want to listen to anybody anymore. If I had just gotten on a plane instead of listening to everybody that "meant well," I would have been here on time, and they -- they would be alive. This never would have happened.
>> Simon: All right, don't listen to me. Don't listen. Just -- I know this is hard, but come back inside and --
>> Lily: No! I'm not going back in there. No, I can't do that. I've seen too much. I'm gonna have nightmares about it for the rest of my life.
>> Simon: All right. Okay, you know what I see? You know what I see? I see -- okay, I see a lot of bullets, a lot of bullet holes, a lot of blood,okay? But it doesn't make sense. It's too much. It's like it's a big production in here.
>> Lily: That's how they work, these people. Didn't you see what they did to my home, the glass, the bullets. My son, he was so terrified. Damian and I just kept on telling him that he was okay, and Holden, thank God, he was out of the house with Faith.
>> Simon: That's just it. That's it. A lot of glass broken. A lot of bullets everywhere. But once again, no one gets hurt.
>> Lily: And then we went to look for him, and then we couldn't find him, because he was gone! Oh, my God! I can't take this anymore. I just can't.
>> Simon: No, no, no. Please, come here, come here, come here, come here. Just come here, Lily. Just take -- I'm sorry to do this to you -- but just take one look, all right? Why? Why is there so much firepower for two people?
>> Lily: I can't do this!
>> Simon: Lily, you have to do this. Listen, you have to. You have to. You have to, because this may not be their blood.
>> Lily: What?
>> Simon: This could be the blood of, I don't know, some animal or something.
>> Lily: Oh, God! You're serious?
>> Simon: Yes, I'm serious. I am serious. You have come too far. You cannot go grieving for something that might not have happened, okay? This -- all this, this entire thing -- could be completely manufactured.
>> Lily: I know that this is my husband's wedding ring.
>> Simon: I know it is, okay? But how did it get here? You said he never parts with it. So what, did it slip off?
>> Lily: What I'm trying to make you understand is that they took it off of him when they killed him!
>> Simon: Then if they took it, why didn't they keep it? Why didn't they keep it? This is a nice gold ring, Lily. It's gotta be worth a lot of money. Why did they leave it here? It just doesn't add up.

Scene 3:
Scene: Dungeon

SIMON FRASIER AND LILY SNYDER

>> Simon: So walk me through it one more time.
>> Lily: It's exactly the way that Holden described it in his message. They were here. I know that they were both here.
>> Simon: Okay, until when? Until when? Until Damian's enemies arrived?
>> Lily: I don't know. I don't know if Damian's alive.
>> Simon: Hey, hey, okay, let's just Damian is still alive. Let's say he's still alive and still calling the shots. Then this whole scene, this carnage, could be for you.
>> Lily: Go on.
>> Simon: Okay, whoever went to the trouble of bringing Holden and Luke all the way from Oakdale didn't bring them this far to hurt them, to harm them.
>> Lily: You think that -- you're saying that Damian could be involved in this?
>> Simon: Yes. When he heard your voice on his cell phone, he had to know that you were on to him, that it would only be a matter of time until you made your way here to Malta, all right? What if he was here waiting for you to arrive? Okay, this whole -- this whole bloody scene, he got this all ready for you to send you scurrying back to Oakdale defeated, discouraged and out of his hair. Lily, the way I see it, you have two options here. You can believe that Holden and Luke died here, or you can believe that you are being lied to once again in the worst way imaginable. It's your choice.

Scene 4:
Location: Villa in Malta
Scene: Lily Snyder's Room

>> Lily: Talk about an emotional roller coaster.
>> Simon: Well, you must be exhausted.
>> Lily: No, I'm too wired to sleep.
>> Simon: Good. So you believe that Holden and Luke are still alive?
>> Lily: You convinced me. This ring doesn't prove that Holden is gone. It proves we're on the right track.
>> Simon: That's it. That's what you're gonna show these people, whoever and wherever they are, that you will not back down and you will not scare away.
>> Lily: I'm not. So what's our next move?
>> Simon: Well, I've been thinking. If that whole dungeon scene was a setup, then someone had to tell the guard that you were on your way there or even that you're here right now.
>> Lily: You think somebody's watching us right now?
[Knock at door.]
>> Lily: Oh, one minute!
[Simon hides]

SIGNORA CORDINA ENTERS

>> Signora Cordina: Hello. I brought you towels and a blanket because the breezes here at night are so cold.
>> Lily: Oh, I could've taken care of that.
>> Signora Cordina: Would you like me to turn down the bed for you?
>> Lily: No. Thank you.
>> Signora Cordina: Oh, all right. Very well. As you wish. If there is anything else that you need -- is this something that you need?
[Simon is caught hiding behind the door]
>> Lily: No, he's a friend. He's my friend, Simon Frasier.
>> Simon: Hi.
>> Lily: Working on a project with me. It's okay if he stays, yes?
>> Signora Cordina: I serve breakfast at 7:00.
>> Simon: Fantastic.
>> Lily: Great.
>> Signora Cordina: No noise.
>> Lily: Noise?
>> Simon: Are you kidding?
>> Signora Cordina: No, no, no.

SIMON FRASIER AND LILY SNYDER

>> Simon: She's --
>> Lily: No, she's great. I would be lost without her, literally.
>> Simon: How do you mean?
>> Lily: Well, I sat next to her on the plane. She actually is the one who told me about the castle and the dungeon and everything.
>> Simon: Really?
>> Lily: Yes. She was so sweet to rent this room to me. She actually let me borrow her son's car. I feel lucky to have run into her.
>> Simon: Yeah, a little bit too lucky for my money.

Scene 5:
Scene: Lily Snyder's Room

SIMON FRASIER AND LILY SNYDER

>> Simon: Lily, we cannot afford to trust anyone.
>> Lily: I feel like I'm in a funhouse maze. I get so close to finding Holden and Luke, and then they're taken away from me again.
>> Simon: Lily, you have come so far. We are gonna find them.
>> Lily: This is Damian's homeland. He knows every inch of this island. If he is holding Holden and Luke somewhere, it's gonna be in secret and only he's gonna know about it. But I'm not going home without them.
>> Simon: That's the Lily I know.
>> Lily: You know, Simon -- I know this can't be easy for you, after everything that we've been through together, but I don't know what I would have done without you.
>> Simon: Come on. You're a lot tougher than you remember. Well, you'd better get some sleep.
>> Lily: I want to get started first thing in the morning.
>> Simon: And before that landlady knows we're even gone. I'm gonna go and try to find a place to sleep.
>> Lily: Wait, wait, wait. You're leaving?
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Lily: No. You can't. I mean, if you're right about these wrong people looking after us and trying to find us, then I'd feel a lot safer if you were here with me.

Scene 6:
Scene: Lily Snyder's Room

LILY SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Lily: You know, you're not going to get much sleep on that cold, hard floor.
>> Simon: Are you kidding? This is a bed of roses compared to some of the places that I've slept. We are gonna find Holden and Luke, okay? I promise.
>> Lily: I'm beginning to believe that. Good night, Simon.
>> Simon: Good night, Lily.
[Lily lays in the bed, and Simon lays on the floor]

KATIE FRASIER BARGES INTO THE ROOM

>> Katie: I knew it! I knew it!
