KATIE FRASIER AND DAHLIA VENTURA

>> Dahlia: Katie, I don't have time to argue with you. We've gotta go. >> Katie: I want you out of this house right now! Simon was right. This is proof. Your disappearance was such a sham. You wanted people to believe that Simon would -
>> Dahlia: You have to listen to me!
>> Katie: Forget it! More lies from you? No way! I am going to the cops. Where are you going? Simon! Simon, please help me! Dahlia is here!
>> Dahlia: Shh, keep your voice down! Just forget about Simon. He's not coming.
>> Katie: What are you talking about?
>> Dahlia: Look, I took care of him, sweetie. Okay, you have to trust me. I saved you. I had to save you.
>> Katie: Oh, God, no. No, you didn't kill him?

SIMON FRASIER

[Simon Frasier is lying on the ground unconscious. His fingers start to move slightly.]

Scene: Inside the Cottage

KATIE FRASIER, DAHLIA VENTURA

>> Dahlia: No one is dead, Katie! Put down the phone. Now, Simon may deserve to die, but I'll let the justice system handle that. All I did for now was knock him out cold.
>> Katie: Where is he?
>> Dahlia: I'm not gonna tell you that. For your own safety.
>> Katie: If he is lying out there somewhere hurt, you expect me just to ignore that?
>> Dahlia: If you wanna stay alive, yes! You have to trust me, Katie. I am your only salvation at this point.
>> Katie: Oh, you save me? Right. No way, forget it. I am calling the cops.
>> Dahlia: Listen, you don't have to do that.
>> Katie: Simon, I'm coming. I'm coming! Simon!
>> Dahlia: Listen, I'm sorry about that. All right, but why did you have hit me? For God's sake, I'm trying to save your life!
>> Katie: You were reaching for a gun!
>> Dahlia: I was reaching for a phone. What's the matter with you?
>> Katie: Get away from the door.
>> Dahlia: Simon may have come to by now. Katie, he is dangerous. And he's gonna be angry.
>> Katie: He is my husband. He is the only man that I will ever love. And if anyone needs to watch their backs because of him, it's you.
>> Dahlia: Listen, I will prove that I am here to help you. Yes, hi. This is Dahlia Ventura. I'm at Rural Route 25. It's just past the Route 23 turnoff with the mailboxes out front. Yes, you have to send the police right away. The owner of the home is Simon Frasier, and he's trying to kill his wife.

Scene 3:
Scene: Inside the Cottage

KATIE FRASIER, DAHLIA VENTURA

>> Dahlia: I had to find some way to get away from Simon and protect you.
>> Katie: Oh, please. Like I would ever believe that you were some guardian angel who was swooping down to save me from the man that I would die for.
>> Dahlia: Listen to yourself. Are you so anxious to die for love? Because I'm warning you - Simon will be only too happy to oblige. I mean, what about the elevator at the Lakeview? Or - or the banister collapsing right here in your own home? I mean, how do you explain it? How do explain the fact that you get a broken wrist and Simon walks away from this so-called accident without even a --
>> Katie: All right, enough! Enough! I don't want to hear any more of your stupid stories, okay? We found the bug that you left in our house. We know that you were listening to every little thing we said. Are you gonna deny that, too?
>> Dahlia: No. No, I set that up so that I could be one step ahead of Simon. Oh, my God. If he knows - listen we gotta get out of here. I heard things on that bug, things that Simon said.
>> Katie: Things like what? You didn't hear that we hated or how much we hate because we were sure to leave that out.
>> Dahlia: Listen, Simon was ordering stuff. I don't know what it was so I checked it out. I looked into it. He's building a bomb.
>> Katie: What!
>> Dahlia: And if he found the bug, then he knows that I heard him. And his only option is to kill us both. Now, we've gotta go. Now, come on!

SIMON FRASIER ENTERS

>> Simon: Dahlia, stop!
>> Katie: Oh, Simon! Are you okay? Please-please, don't hurt me.
>> Simon: Shut up, Dahlia! No more performances! No more lies! This whole thing ends tonight.

Scene 4:
Scene: Inside the Cottage

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, DAHLIA VENTURA

>> Simon: Call the police, Katie. Don't you move a muscle.
>> Dahlia: I already called 911.
>> Katie: She's lying. You never hit send on your cell phone, Dahlia. Yes, the nature of my emergency? There's been an intruder in our house, and she's trying to threaten my husband and I with bodily harm. Rural Route 25. And please hurry.
>> Simon: Go upstairs and wait for the police to arrive, Katie.
>> Katie: No, honey, I don't wanna leave you --
>> Simon: Just go! Go! Put your bag down now, Dahlia.
[Simon groans.]
>> Dahlia: Run, Katie! It's a trap! He's got a bomb!
>> Katie: Get away from me!
>> Dahlia: He's got a bomb!
>> Katie: Simon! Get away from me! Simon!
>> Simon: Let her go!
[Dahlia Ventura flies off of the staircase as Simon Frasier pulls her off of Katie Frasier.]
[The stairway railing gives way and Dahlia lands half of a flight below, unconscious.]

Scene 5:

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, DAHLIA VENTURA, POLICEMAN

>> Katie: Is she dead?
>> Simon: No, no, she's still breathing.
>> Katie: Maybe I should call 911 again and have them bring an ambulance.
>> Simon: Let's just wait for the cops - no, no, no, you're right. You're right. Give them a call. Call them.
[The policeman enters with his gun drawn.]
>> Cop: Freeze, lady! You, too, pal! Nobody move.
