Scene 1:
[ Church in Luther's Corner ]

[ Lily has just found Simon and Lucinda talking outside the Church and wants to know what's going on ]
>> Lily: Simon? What is it that you think I should hear?
>> Lucinda: Nothing, darling, nothing -- drivel, Mr. Frasier here is determined to be the center of attention -- whatever the occasion.
>> Lily: Why don't you let Simon speak. You wouldn't come to Holden and Luke's memorial service just to upset me, would you?
>> Simon: Never, no, no.
>> Lily: Well, then there must be some important reason why you're here then. What is it?

Scene 2:
[ Outside the Church - Hal explains to Lily ]

>> Hal: Lily, I'm sorry I can't stay. I've got a little bit of a family emergency.
>> Lily: Everything okay?
>> Hal: We will be, I hope.
>> Lily: Okay. That's okay. I understand.
>> Hal: Thanks.
>> Carly: Good night.
>> Lily: Good night.
>> Hal: Good night.
>> Lucinda: All right, darling, I think we should get back inside.
>> Lily: No, I'm not going anywhere. I want to know why Simon's here.
>> Simon: I came here be -- Lily, I'm here as your friend, that's all. I just wanted you to know that I'm here for you.
>> Caleb: Ah, Lily? Are you ready to come back in? The minister was asking.
>> Lily: Yes, just a second. Are you sure that's it?
>> Lucinda: Of course he's sure. He just said he's sure. We should get back inside, darling, because the minister's waiting for us. ~

Scene 3:
[ Church Vestibule ]

>> Jake: Look, you showed up here for one reason! One reason -- to corral Lily, and spill your theory about Damian staging those deaths!
>> Simon: Well, I couldn't go through with it, okay? So, you've got nothing to worry about.
>> Jake: Simon, we agreed that we don't have enough facts, at least not enough to go upsetting the family.
>> Simon: Damian did have the phone number of that boat rental place. What for, if not to use it? If we had enough cash, we could throw it at him, maybe jog his memory.
>> Jake: So, what are you going to do? You gonna hit Lily up for some money? We don't even know that Damian called that guy.
>> Simon: The police could find out. They could get the hotel phone records.
>> Jake: So we'll call the police -- okay, we'll call the police. I'll tell them the number from a newspaper source. The police will believe me. So, listen, we have to agree, we say nothing to the family.
>> Simon: I told Lucinda.
>> Jake: Why?!
>> Simon: Because she has more clout with the cops than I do.
>> Jake: We are supposed to be working on this thing together. If we need police cooperation, I'll get it. If we need money, I'll supply it. But you don't need to give Lucinda false expectations.
>> Simon: , There's no chance of that anyway, all t? She didn't believe a word I said. Listen, Jake, seeing Lily hurting like this, all right, it's just -- it's tough for me.
>> Jake: Simon -- look, we better get in there, okay? You can -- you can sit with Molly and me.
>> Simon: Doesn't -- no, it's fine, all right? You go in. I can hear fine out here. You just go in, all right?
>> Jake: Simon, we're working on this together.

Scene 4:
[ Simon has followed Lily outside the Church ]

>> Lily: What are they still doing in there? Why won't they come out?
>> Simon: Perhaps they're hoping you'll go back in.
>> Lily: Well, I guess I'll have to go back there eventually, because I forgot my purse and my keys. Making a grand exit -- I'll really have to plan that better next time.
>> Simon: Lily --
>> Lily: You know, I don't want your sympathy. Because I cannot handle sympathy right now. My mother's probably in there making some grand announcement, "please, everyone, be seated. Lily will be back in soon, as soon as she comes to her senses."
>> Simon: I could drive you home.
>> Lily: No, I have to go back in there.
>> Simon: You just said --
>> Lily: I know. I don't want to go back. I want to just do this for Emma. I wanted her to have closure. I wanted her to feel finality in all this. I thought I could do it. I thought I could handle it for a little while. I could just accept the fact that they're gone, mourn them. But I cannot accept something that doesn't feel real to me.
>> Simon: I know. I know.
>> Lily: I have to get out of here.
>> Simon: Where do you want to go?
>> Lily: I have to find Holden and Luke. But I don't know where to start. I don't know what questions to ask, who to ask. Damian -- I have to track down the people that were after Damian. So Malta -- I have to go to Malta.
>> Simon: Go to Malta and make yourself a target? Lily, you can't do that. You cannot do that.
>> Lily: Well, I can't stay here playing the grieving wife and mother! Please, Simon, I'm telling you. I know that my baby is alive. 'Cause I had him inside of me for nine months, that life that I felt, I feel it now. He's out there somewhere. The time that I've spent mourning and grieving him, I've wasted so much time. I could have been signing his death warrant. I have to find Luke and Holden. I have to do something.
>> Simon: I already have.
>> Lily: What?
>> Simon: I couldn't just let it go. Especially after Jake told me that things about the accident were bothering him as well.
>> Lily: You and Jake?
>> Simon: Yeah, we've been asking some questions. That's why I was trying to tell Lucinda before.
>> Lily: What did you find out?
>> Simon: We got into Damian's Lakeview room. We found something that the cops might have missed.

[ Outside the Church ]
>> Lily: I don't care about playing it safe. I need to know what you found out, Simon.

Scene 5:
[ Outside the Church ]

>> Lucinda: I thought you were going to leave well enough alone, Mr. Frasier.
>> Lily: Why didn't you tell me what Simon and Jake found
>> Lucinda: He found nothing. But heaven forefend that our friend here would let that stop him from disrupting -- did he tell you he asked me for money tonight?
>> Lily: I changed my mind. Can I go home with you?
>> Simon: Yeah, sure, of course.
>> Lucinda: Honey, you cannot leave Holden's memorial with this guy. Be reasonable.
>> Lily: Let's go.
>> Lucinda: Honey --
>> Seth: Lily, I thought you might need this.
>> Lily: Thank you.
>> Seth: You need a lift somewhere or something?
>> Lily: No, I already have a ride.
>> Seth: Anything you need, anything.
>> Lily: You're so much like him. I need to believe that Luke and Holden will come home, Seth.
>> Seth: Then you do that, sweetheart. You do just that.
>> Lucinda: Honey, could you at least tell me where you're going?
>> Lily: To bring my husband and my son home.
