Scene 1:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: How's it goin'?
>> Simon: Who could -- this one? It'll have to be replaced altogether.
>> Katie: Well, do me a favor, will ya?
>> Simon: I'll do you anything.
>> Katie: Make sure your pants are on when you go to the lumberyard.
>> Simon: Was that really us last night? Running stark naked through the woods?
>> Katie: I do believe that was us, and I do believe I quite liked it. In fact, I loved it. I don't know why we don't do that more often. In fact --
>> Simon: Ah! Whoa -- what are you doing?
>> Katie: I see no reason to be wearing clothes at all at the moment.
>> Simon: No, no, no, no. You can't be naked -- you can't be naked right now.
>> Katie: Why? Is there something wrong with my body?
>> Simon: No, no, no. Everything's right with your body. But if you get naked, then I have to get naked. Then we're gonna hit the floor. We're gonna do something. And --
[ cell phone rings ]
>> Simon: Saved by the bell.
>> Katie: No, no, no, no! no, not now. Ah, party pooper.
>> Simon: Hello? Yeah, Margo. What's up? Yeah, sure. We'll be down there right away. That was Margo. She wants us down at the police station.
>> Katie: Why?
>> Simon: I don't know. But the word "urgent" was mentioned quite a few times. So let's go. No nudity today.

Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale Police Department
Scene: Squad Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES

>> Simon: Margo, what's up? We got here as soon as we could.
>> Margo: Ah, yeah. I'll be with you in a second.
>> Katie: It's about Dahlia, isn't it? She escaped the Sacramento police, and she's coming back to get us.
>> Margo: No, this has nothing to do with Dahlia. It's about the two of you. Where were the both of you last night about 11:00?
>> Simon: Home.
>> Katie: Right.
>> Simon: Mm-hmm, yeah, home.
>> Katie: Yeah.
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Margo: Home? Inside, with the doors closed?
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Katie: Absolutely. Off and on.
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Katie: Yes.
>> Simon: Yeah, well, it was a nice evening. So we might have gone out for a few minutes to get a breath of fresh air, go for a little walk.
>> Katie: Well, it was more of a run, actually.
>> Margo: A run. And was this run with or without your panties?
>> Simon: Margo, behave.
>> Katie: Oh, Margo, we are not exactly in the habit of running around naked.
>> Simon: Exactly. It hasn't become a habit. Not yet, anyway.
>> Katie: He's kidding.
>> Margo: Yeah. 'Cause, see, we got a complaint that there were a couple of streakers in the woods last night, and some boys were camping out.
>> Simon: Well --
>> Katie: I'm sure it was a couple of high schoolers just celebrating summer vacation.
>> Margo: Yeah. Don't move. Could you come out here a second, please? Come on. It's okay. All the way out. All the way out. Come on. Good. Warren Stiles -- are these the two people you saw in the woods last night, Warren?

Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale Police Department
Scene: Squad Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES, WARREN

>> Margo: It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. No one's gonna get mad at you. Anything bad's gonna happen. Just tell me -- are these the two people you saw running nude in the woods last night?
>> Warren: Well, could she -- you know.
>> Simon: What, take her clothes off? Oh, yeah. Nice try, kid.
>> Margo: Why don't you do the best you can with their clothes on?
>> Simon: Hey, hey.
>> Warren: Yeah, that's them.
>> Katie: Snitch.
>> Margo: Quiet. You did a good job. Very good job. Good deed today. Thank you. You can go now.
>> Warren: Uh, can I tell her where our next campout will be?
>> Margo: Go.
>> Warren: Do you have a website?
>> Margo: Now!
>> Simon: Get outta here.
>> Margo: Go.
[ Katie laughing ]
>> Margo: All right. You wanna make a statement?
>> Simon: Yeah. She looks great naked.
>> Katie: Okay, we got a little frisky. We didn't know there would be a bunch of kids camping out near our house.
>> Simon: Margo, you know what the last few months has been like for us. All we've been doing is escaping Dahlia's lies. So when she got caught and taken away, it was like we got out of jail. Okay, so we got carried away a bit, you know?
>> Katie: Running around like that was kind of like our very own declaration of independence.
>> Simon: And I dared you to do it.
>> Katie: And you didn't think I would. But I did.
>> Margo: Please, please, please. That's enough. All right, fine. Look -- in the last couple of months, yes, you guys have been handed death threats and bomb threats. And you've had elevators falling and bodies falling. And you've survived it all beautifully. You really have. But now I think it's time you ask yourselves -- do you wanna spend the rest of your life, maybe the next 50 years, indulging in goofy stunts? Or maybe you wanna grow up a little bit and do something useful with your lives?

Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale Police Department
Scene: Squad Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES

>> Katie: To us, last night was a celebration of what we've been through, what we survived, of each other, of our future, without Dahlia. And I know it sounds stupid, but before we could go on, we needed to feel totally free.
>> Margo: I can't take this anymore. I just can't.
>> Simon: Margo -- Margo, what's the matter? Come on.
>> Margo: "What's the matter?" Hal isn't back full-time yet. I've got a caseload up to here. I've got this thing going on down in Avanya, and now my sister is trying to convince me that streaking is the path to world peace.
>> Simon: Whoa, whoa, wait a second. You said Avanya?
>> Margo: Yeah. You know Avanya?
>> Simon: Yeah. Yeah, I do. Very repressive, right?
>> Margo: Yes. However, it didn't stop Rose and Paul from heading down there with Henry Coleman.
>> Katie: Why would they do that?
>> Margo: As far as I can tell, rose's father is in some sort of trouble, some intrigue to do with a diamond. Look, I can't even explain it, let alone solve it.
>> Katie: Hold on a second. Do you mean our diamond? The one I found on the island?
>> Simon: The one you lost on the island.
>> Margo: Next time I find that diamond, I'm gonna donate it to charity.
>> Simon: Well, how's Lily? Lily must be worried sick.
>> Margo: Of course she is. She just found Rose, and now she's disappeared again.
>> Simon: Maybe we should go down and see her, see how she's doing.
>> Margo: That's a great idea. Or yet, you could stay here and help me solve this case.
>> Katie: Simon's days of police work are over. He no longer has any interest in putting his life in danger. Isn't that right, honey?

Scene 5:
Location: Oakdale Police Department
Scene: Squad Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES

>> Simon: Yeah, but -- yes, darling, that is completely right. But I would like to know a little bit more.
>> Katie: Simon --
>> Margo: Well, Lucinda, of course, wanted to race down and get Rose and Paul, but I convinced her that we had to go through the proper channels. But the problem is, the authorities in Avanya aren't cooperating.
>> Simon: So you need someone who can slip in under the radar and get the job done, right?
>> Katie: Yes, she does. And good luck finding that individual.
>> Margo: Okay, I'm sorry. It's my problem. I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I came down so hard on you two earlier, really. You are so special to me.
>> Katie: Thanks. Same here.
>> Margo: Well, I gotta get back to work.
>> Katie: Let's go.
>> Simon: She's gonna have trouble finding someone, Katie. The wrong person's only gonna make everything a whole lot worse as well.
>> Katie: Yeah, well, that may be true, but you are not going to some crazy country where the whole government's gonna be gunning for you, and god knows what else.
>> Simon: Of course I'm not. Of course I'm not. This whole thing with Dahlia has given me enough danger to last me a whole lifetime. I promise.
>> Katie: Do you mean it? Oh, good. I was hoping you would say that.
