Scene 1:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Craig Montgomery's Suite

SIMON FRASIER AND CRAIG MONTGOMERY

>> Simon: Where's Katie? I need to talk to her.
>> Craig: What? Not even a "Hello, Craig. Thanks for not changing the lock"?
>> Simon: I need to see her, Craig.
>> Craig: Well, I hate to be the one to tell you like this, Simon. But you're too late.

Scene 2:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Craig Montgomery's Suite

SIMON FRASIER AND CRAIG MONTGOMERY

>> Simon: Too late for what? Didn't she come back from St. Maarten?
>> Craig: Oh, she's back. And in rare form, too.
>> Simon: What do you mean?
>> Craig: Well, there are certain details a sister doesn't really give a brother.
You know, Simon. But there is a certain glow.
>> Simon: Please, just -- just get to the point.
>> Craig: Well, she's happy, man, you know? She's constantly chirping about -- what's his name?
>> Simon: Bruno?
>> Craig: Yeah! "Bruno this, Bruno that." Bruno's boat, Bruno's island house. I think he has a house on every sandbar.
>> Simon: Look, I know all about him. I know where Katie's been. I just -- please, just tell me, where is she now?
>> Craig: I don't know. Probably somewhere in the Italian Alps.
>> Simon: All right. So I guess I blew it, huh?
>> Craig: Pretty much.
>> Simon: Oh, come on. She can't be serious about this guy, can she?
>> Craig: You forbade her to be serious about you. So why shouldn't she make a life on the arm of some high roller? What do you care?
>> Simon: Well, I don't want her to get hurt, do I?
>> Craig: She's a big girl.
>> Simon: And I --
>> Craig: You what? You don't have to be coy. I can take it. You what?
>> Simon: I can't believe I'm telling you, but -- and I love her. Yes.
>> Craig: You love her?
>> Simon: Yes! Yes. She's infuriating. She's frustrating. She's nothing but trouble. But, yes, I do. I -- I love her.
>> Craig: I know what you mean about all of that. But don't you think you should have told it to her face?
>> Simon: I don't know. I mean, sometimes I knew it, I guess. But it didn't really hit home until I was somewhere else. Without her.
>> Craig: Go and find her.
>> Simon: I don't know where to start.
>> Craig: Try Margo. She knows everything.

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

MARGO HUGHES AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Margo: Simon, I thought you would've been long gone by now.
>> Simon: Well, I'm back. I'm looking for Katie. Have you heard from her?
>> Margo: Well, yeah, I had her arrested yesterday.
>> Simon: What?!
>> Margo: Grand theft. A rented plane.
>> Simon: Ah -- look, I told her to take care of that or she'd be in all sorts of trouble.
>> Margo: Yeah, Katie always listens to everything we say.
>> Simon: Can I talk to her?
>> Margo: Well, if you think she's down in her cell, no, she's not.
>> Simon: So where is she?
>> Margo: Some guy came by in a very expensive Italian suit, made a few calls and all charges were dropped. So my guess is she's with him.
>> Simon: Craig was right. So what? Has she fallen for this guy or --
>> Margo: No, I don't think "fallen" is quite the word. But any guy comes by and shells out $250,000 has a certain appeal to a lady in distress.
>> Simon: Do you know where they were going?
>> Margo: No, they didn't say. But looks of this guy is he doesn't turn down any game in town. So, not that you heard it from me, but I'd check the back room at Java.
>> Simon: All right, thanks, Margo. I've gotta get to Katie before she does something really crazy.
>> Margo: You're about 20 years too late.

ISAAC JENKINS AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Isaac: Hey, Simon. How are you doing, man?
>> Simon: Good.
>> Isaac: I thought you left Oakdale.
>> Simon: I'm looking for Katie. I thought she might be here. You haven't seen her, have you?
>> Isaac: Not so sure about the guy she's with, though.
>> Simon: I met him. I don't like him.

BRUNO PORTOLANO AND KATIE FRASIER

>> Bruno: Katie, I wanna take care of you. I mean, is that so bad? Is there anybody else that wants to do that for you?
>> Katie: No, I guess not.
>> Bruno: Then don't think so much. Let it happen. What have you go to lose?
>> Katie: Nothing, I guess.

SIMON FRASIER ALONE

>> Simon: I am too late.
