MARGO HUGHES AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Margo: Simon, hi. What are you doing here? Please just tell me it's a visit, okay?
>> Simon: No, I need your help.
>> Margo: Well, listen, if it's about the shooting at Lucinda's, I --
>> Simon: It's not. I heard about that, though. Luke and Lily?
>> Margo: They're fine. They're fine. Thanks to Jack. We're taking his statement now.
>> Simon: Right. I hear he's a pretty darned good shot.
>> Margo: Yeah. Well, I'll relay the message.
>> Simon: Look, I'm here on another matter.
>> Margo: All right, unless it's life and death --
>> Simon: It is, Margo. It is.
>> Margo: Whose?
>> Simon: Katie's.

Scene 2:
Scene: Squad Room

SIMON FRASIER AND MARGO HUGHES

>> Simon: I saw Katie and Jake at molly's wedding, all right? At first, she kissed me. I mean, she really kissed me. It was obvious that she was thrilled to see me. And then Bruno says one word to her, and she shuts down. She starts pushing me away.
>> Margo: Well, honestly, what do you expect her to do? Give her a little credit for moving on.
>> Simon: No, I know what moving on looks like, Margo. This isn't moving on. I mean, if you'd just seen the way her face lit up when she saw me. And then Bruno steps, and the whole life just drains out of her.
>> Margo: Well, Katie's the queen of erratic behavior. And, look, these torches don't stay lit forever.
>> Simon: She's afraid of him. Margo, he's obviously made some kind of threats. Look, if Katie has moved on to greener pastures, then so be it. I will believe her. Only if she tells me face-to-face when he's not around.
>> Margo: Well, what do you want me to do?
>> Simon: I want you to find out everything you can about this Bruno Portolano.
>> Margo: Okay, Portolano. I'll see what I can do.

BRUNO PORTOLANO AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Bruno: Katie, baby. I found a bottle of bubbly to go with our bubbles. Bottoms up, joy toy. Katie?
>> Simon: What are you doing here? And what have you done with my wife?

Scene 4:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Craig Montgomery's Suite

SIMON FRASIER AND BRUNO PORTOLANO

>> Simon: Katie's left. She's gone.
>> Bruno: Yeah, she's gone from you, but not gone from me.
>> Simon: No, she's gone for good.
>> Bruno: How do you know that?
>> Simon: Well, man, she's taken her rabbit, hasn't she? So, what did you do to frighten her so badly?
>> Bruno: I showed her some affection, that's it. And if Katie has run away, which she hasn't , it's only because she's been treated so bad, she doesn't know when she's got it good. What you need to understand is that she's with me now. So deal with it.
>> Simon: So what are you saying? She's yours? Is that it?
>> Bruno: Yeah, she belongs to me -- Katie's words.
>> Simon: Oh, right. Why don't you just turn around? I want to see the matching tattoos.
>> Bruno: Excuse me. I'm gonna leave now. I'm gonna get in that nice, hot bubble bath Katie asked me to get ready for us. Because here's my philosophy. You leave her alone, she'll come home, wagging that adorable little tail behind her.
>> Simon: Hey, wait, Bruno. You forgot something.
