Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, DALHIA VENTURA

>> Katie: Oh, my God. Simon? Oh, please, don't tell me --. Are you all right?
>> Simon: No, no, no, no .
>> Katie: I'm so sorry. I would never hurt you. I just lifted up my arm and it went off.
>> Dahlia Leave him alone! After what he did to me, he deserves to die.
>> Katie: What are you talking about?
>> Dahlia: He tried to rape me, Katie. And then he was going to kill me.
>> Simon: She's lying, Katie -- she's lying, Katie.
>> Dahlia: No, no! You see, the two of us have been -- been in on this since the beginning. You know, I thought he could be trusted, but then he turned his back on me.
>> Katie: What are you saying?
>> Dahlia: Look, I know -- I know that this must hurt. It hurt me, too. But you know what? There is -- there is something that we can do about it.
>> Katie: What?
>> Dahlia: Give me the gun. Let me finish him off, once and for all.
>> Katie: Simon's right, you are insane. Get off, Dahlia! Get off! I am not letting you hurt us anymore!

Scene 2:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, DAHLIA VENTURA

>> Katie: Give it up, Dahlia. I am not giving you this gun. Get off of me!
>> Dahlia: Get over there.
>> Katie: Why, what are you going to do?
>> Dahlia: Well, you're so devoted to him, I'll take care of you both at the same time.
>> Katie: What? You wouldn't do that.
>> Dahlia: Listen! Don't you make the mistake of underestimating me. I have dreamed about this moment for years.
>> Katie: Come on, Dahlia, just because you think Simon --
>> Dahlia: Think? Think? Oh, god, I swear I'm gonna kill you right where you stand!
>> Margo: Freeze! Nobody move! What's going on?
>> Katie: Dahlia tried to kill Simon. Then she tried to kill me. She's gone completely insane.
>> Dahlia: Get off of me!
>> Margo: Dahlia Ventura, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
>> Dahlia: Yes, I have the right! He murdered my sister! I have the right to kill him!
>> Katie: Are you all right? Are you all right?
>> Simon: Yeah. Yeah, I've never been better.
>> Katie: Okay.
[ Simon winces in pain ]
>> Katie: Simon! Simon!

Scene 3:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES, DAHLIA VENTURA

>> Katie: Are you sure you're all right?
>> Margo: Maybe you should lie down for awhile.
>> Simon: I'm okay. I'm all right. I just need a minute to get my bearings.
>> Katie: Let me just check out your wound.
>> Simon: No, it's okay. It's all right.
>> Margo: All right. Does somebody want to tell me what is going on? How did Simon get shot?
>> Katie: You want the long version of the story?
>> Margo: No.
>> Katie: All right. Well, when I heard you say that Dahlia had been spotted at the airport, I came back home to tell Simon and celebrate. And then I -- walked in on them both on the couch.
>> Margo: Oh, I don't like that.
>> Simon: Dahlia did it. She pulled me down on top of her.
>> Dahlia: He's lying. Ask him why his shirt is off.
>> Margo: Please. Go on.
>> Katie: There was a gun on the floor, and so I picked it up.
>> Margo: Is it yours?
>> Dahlia: His.
>> Simon: She stole it from me.
>> Dahlia: He's lying. He has to blame it on someone else.
>> Margo: Katie, why on earth would you pick up a gun?
>> Katie: I don't even know, I just did. And I was just holding it, and it went off.
>> Margo; Guns don't just go off. There are triggers, someone has to pull them.
>> Katie: It was an accident, Margo.
>> Dahlia: She was trying to kill him, because she knows that he's out to get her.
>> Margo: You know, if you don't close your mouth, I'm gonna put a gag in it.
>> Katie: And then Dahlia started screaming about he tried to rape her and was gonna kill her. And she said that they were both against me the entire time, from the very beginning. And then she tried to get the gun.
>> Simon: It was all a setup, Margo. Dahlia lured Katie back here by pretending to leave. Then she was gonna kill us both and then make it look as though I shot Katie and then shot myself.
>> Margo: Give me motive.
>> Simon: Because she's been trying to pin Monique's murder on me for years. If she make it look as though I shot my own wife, then the suspicion's back off her.
>> Dahlia: You did kill Monique.
>> Simon: You are out of your mind, Dahlia.
>> Katie: You killed Monique.
>> Margo: All right, everybody, stop. We're gonna take statements down at the station. Just have a seat here. Oh, you'll be happy to know that the Sacramento police are looking for you. I can't tell you how glad they are to know that you're back alive. All right, I'm gonna call an ambulance for Simon.
>> Simon: No, please, Margo. I'm gonna be fine. It's all right.
>> Margo: A gunshot at close range? I don't think so.
>> Simon: The bullet didn't hit me, okay? It must have hit this lamp, and then shards of glass just sprayed into me.
>> Margo: You're sure?
>> Simon: Yes, I'm fine.
[ Sirens blaring ]
>> Margo: All right. I guess that's my backup. If it were my husband, I would still take him to the hospital. Dahlia?
>> Simon: Thanks, Margo.
>> Dahlia: You're gonna leave her alone with him? Your own sister?
>> Margo: My goodness, we are gonna use that gag after all, aren't we?
>> Katie: Thank you. Oh, honey. Hey, don't get too comfortable, all right? We gotta go to the hospital like Margo said. >> Simon: Only if you're prepared to take me there by force.
>> Katie: What? Why wouldn't you want to go to the hospital?
>> Simon: Because there's no way that I'm gonna lie on a cold, glass, metal bed while some smiling intern picks shards of out of my rear. Okay?

Scene 4:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: Oh, you know what? You do need to answer a question for me. Why did you have your shirt off when I walked in on you and Dahlia?
>> Simon: Oh, she was checking for weapons -- weapons.
>> Katie: Oh, and I'm sure there was no frisking involved, was there? You know, there was only one answer to that question.
>> Simon: Look -- okay, okay, okay. She had a gun, so I took off my shirt off, okay? But before things would have gone any further, I would have let her shoot me.
>> Katie: Are you sure?
>> Simon: Yes. Why, don't you believe me?
>> Katie: Oh, of course, I do. Why would you even ask?
[ Simon moans ]
>> Simon: Oh. Because I would hate to think that maybe that that gun didn't go off by accident. That maybe you really were trying to shoot me.

Scene 5:
Location: The Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: There is no way on earth that I would ever try and hurt you.
>> Simon: Yeah? And what if you had walked in and found me and Dahlia making love?
>> Katie: Then I would have shot you both and never looked back.
>> Simon: That's what I thought.
>> Katie: But that's never gonna happen, because you love me. And I love you. And now that that witch is finally out of our lives, we can take our life back.
>> Simon: Nothing in the world would make me happier than that. These last few months have really taken a toll on us, haven't they? We've been running so long, I'm not sure how we're going to stop.
>> Katie: I'm not quite so sure either.
>> Simon: In fact, I'm not even so sure I remember what our normal life is anymore.
>> Katie: Okay. I think it's something like . Remember?
>> Simon: Yeah. Yeah, now it's finally starting to come back to me.
>> Katie: I thought it would. Oh, Simon -- [ Simon screams ] Oh, my god! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I forgot about your injury.
>> Simon: Tender. Tender.
>> Katie: So sorry.
>> Simon: That's okay. Come here. Come here. Sit.
>> Katie: Are you okay?
>> Simon: Yes.
>> Katie: Are you sure you're going to be okay?
>> Simon: As long as I have you here right with me, of course I'm gonna be okay.
