SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, JACK SNYDER, KATIE KASNOFF

>> Jack: Hey, Katie.
>> Katie: Hey.
>> Jack: What are you doing here? Katie?
>> Katie: Oh, Jack. I'm so sorry --
>> Jack: What are you talking about?
>> Katie: She told me -- she said that --
>> Jack: Who?
>> Katie: Carly.
>> Jack: What about her?
>> Katie: I guess you should see for yourself.
>> Katie: Jack, I'm so sorry. I really thought that she was through with him.
>> Jack: Katie --
>> Katie: I never would've said anything if I had known. I mean, I believed her, because I guess I wanted to believe her. Why would she go back to him after everything he's done? I just don't get it.
>> Jack: Katie, I really need you to go. Please -- now.


Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Room/Hallway

SIMON FRASIER, CARLY SNYDER, JACK SNYDER

[ In room ]
>> Simon: You have no idea what this means to me.
>> Carly: Well, I think I do have some idea.
>> Simon: No, I mean it. For you to come back, give me a second chance when I let you down so badly --
>> Carly: You're a lot of things, Simon, but you're not God, are you? You didn't make that ice storm happen. You didn't make that electrical tower thing come crashing into the building. And before that happened, we were headed for a really big win, weren't we? Do you remember what that apartment looked like when we were through with it? It was fantastic. We just have to do it again.
>> Simon: And we will.
>> Carly: Yes, we will.
>> Simon: Okay. So I'll see you tomorrow? Thank you. Goodnight.
[ In hallway ]
>> Carly: Jack. What are you doing here?
>> Jack: It's a police matter, Carly. I'm taking you in.
>> Carly: I don't understand.
>> Jack: We'll talk about it at the station.
>> Carly: What? You can't just drag me to the station for no reason, Jack!
>> Jack: I have reason to believe a crime has been committed, Carly. Is that good enough for you?
>> Carly: Wait a minute. What crime?
>> Jack: Let's go.
>> Carly: Wait. I'm gonna call my lawyer.
>> Jack: Can you afford a lawyer, Carly? Don't make this harder than it already is.


Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE KASNOFF,

>> Katie: Open up, Simon. I know you're in there. And I want to know what the hell you think you're doing. What happened to your face?
>> Simon: It's not as bad as it looks.
>> Katie: Who did that to you?
>> Simon: Nobody. I had a few too many drinks and, you know, clumsy old me walked into a door.
>> Katie: You're such a liar. You haven't had any drinks.
>> Simon: Last night, it was. Okay?
>> Katie: Oh, okay. So that's why you were wearing the sunglasses in the lounge. You didn't want anyone to know what had happened.
>> Simon: Wow, I'd forgotten how nosy you were.
>> Katie: Yeah, I'm nosy, but you're an idiot. How stupid can you be, Simon? Getting involved with a loan shark? You of all people. You know how these people are. They're killers. They get into your life and they destroy it.
>> Simon: Listen, how did you even find out about this?
>> Katie: Carly. So don't bother denying it. She also told me and Mike that she was completely through with you, and then I walk around the corner and you guys are hugging.
>> Simon: Wow, now you're spying on us, huh?
>> Katie: She came up to get her keys. What did you do? Pour on the charm? Oh, poor me. Look, I got my face bashed in. Oh, Carly. Please help me. Please come back to work for me. Oh no, wait a second. This is a setup, isn't it?
>> Simon: What?
>> Katie: You're pretending to be hurt to play on her sympathy.
[ Katie touches Simon's face ]
[ Simon screams ]
>> Simon: Ow! What the hell do you think you're doing?
>> Katie: Okay, so it's a real bruise. What'd you do, punch yourself in the eye?


Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Police Department

CARLY SNYDER, JACK SNYDER

>> Carly: You have no right to drag me down here without charging me.
>> Jack: You want me to charge you? Because that can be arranged.
>> Carly: Charge me with what? I didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, you're the one who ought to be brought up on charges, Jack, for harassing your ex-wife.
>> Jack: Why don't you have a seat. You're acquainted with Simon Frasier?
>> Carly: No, don't know the guy.
>> Jack: Did you or did you not admit to Katie and Mike Kasnoff earlier this evening that your business partner, Simon Frasier, took a loan from a guy by the name of Spirro to finance the reconstruction of an apartment complex located at 702 Broad Street. I'd think carefully before answering that question, Carly, keeping in mind that loan sharking is a criminal offense. Yes or no.
>> Carly: Well, Jack, what I may have said to Mike and Katie is hearsay, isn't it?
>> Jack: Admissible under the Rico Statutes. See, Spirro is an interstate offender. He's got interests from Vegas to Miami.
>> Carly: Well, he doesn't have anything to do with me. So what is your problem?
>> Jack: You are. You're just determined to get yourself into trouble, Carly. I mean, first you let Simon talk you into working on some rundown rat trap that he refuses to bring up to code, and now the two of you are into a loan shark. Are you kidding me? At first, you were scared and you promised you'd stay away from him. But now, obviously, the two of you have reconciled your differences and you're right back where you started. On the brink of disaster, as usual.
>> Carly: Why do you even care since I am so hopeless?
>> Jack: Because I still care about you. And you know that.


Scene 5:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Police Department

CARLY SNYDER, JACK SNYDER

>> Carly: I still care about you, too, Jack. I always will.
>> Jack: Okay. Then tell me the truth, Carly. What the hell's going on here? Why would you let yourself get involved with a loan shark?
>> Carly: I wouldn't. I don't want anything to do with that creep, which is why I had it out with Simon after you and I talked. I went to him. I said, "forget it. That's it. I'm done." And I left. And that's when I ran into Mike and Katie. And I guess that I vented a little bit. But you know Katie. All ears when it comes to Simon. I guess she thought she was doing the right thing by going to you --
>> Jack: I don't understand. If Simon's using Spirro to bankroll this project, why would you have anything to do with that? Spirro is a killer, Carly. I told you that. Once he sinks his claws into something, he doesn't let go. He'll drain this project dry and he'll hurt anybody in his way. And if he goes to jail, Carly, you'll go down with him.
>> Carly: I went back to get my keys. I saw Simon and we talked. And you know something? It turns out I was wrong. And you know me, how easy it is for me to jump to conclusions. But Simon doesn't want to have anything to do with Spirro anymore. So you can relax, Jack. There's no crime here. It's just, you know, business as usual.


Scene 6:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE KASNOFF,

>> Simon: Do you honestly believe that I would punch myself in the face?
>> Katie: Um, yeah I do, actually. You did pretend that we were stranded on an island, remember? Days on the beach worrying and starving when there was a four-star hotel just on the other side of the palm trees. And all to get my attention.
>> Simon: Well, Katie, those days are very much over.
>> Katie: Right, they are. Because I'm a different person and you can't fool me anymore.
>> Simon: Well I'm proud of you. Good for you. Now listen, I've really got to chug back a whole bottle of aspirin and go to bed. So do you mind showing yourself out?
[ Simon grunts ]
>> Katie: You should really tape those ribs or put a bandage on them or something.
>> Simon: You know what, I'll be fine. I'll manage. Thank you.
>> Katie: If you're asking me to help -- >> Simon: I'm not asking you for anything. Thank you, Katie. Just go.
>> Katie: So it's true, huh? They did beat you up. Oh come on, there's got to be a first aid kit here somewhere.
>> Simon: Go home, Katie. Please.
>> Katie: Don't play brave with me, okay? I know you're in pain. You deserve to be in pain. And you know what? I'm not going to back off just because you're in pain. Because I was right. I was right about Carly. I told her not to get involved with you because you were using her to get to me.
>> Simon: I wasn't -- I'm going to ask you very politely right now. Please go home.
>> Katie: Stop treating me like this. Stop lying. Stop pretending you're some big developer and stop flirting with Carly. It's not going to work and it's not fair to her and it's dangerous. You reeled her in and now you've put her and her family in jeopardy and that is just so low. I mean, it's sick. Why, to get to me? I mean, if you cared about her at all --
>> Simon: I do care about Carly! Don't you get it? I never wanted to get her involved in this, so I told her to leave. Now please, just go.


Scene 7:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Police Department

CARLY SNYDER, JACK SNYDER, GOON

>> Jack: So you want me to relax?
>> Carly: I just don't want to see you waste your time.
>> Jack: Because you and Simon, you're just honest business people doing a hard day's work. Is that it? Tell me something. Since you're not using Spirro to cover your costs, where are you getting your financing?
>> Carly: Someone Simon knows. From overseas.
>> Jack: Get out.
>> Carly: Jack --
>> Jack: I've heard enough. Get out.
[ Carly leaves ]
>> Goon: Spirro, you still there? Yeah, hey listen, we got trouble. That little blonde of Simon Frasier's is talking to the cops.

>> Katie: You're really worried about her, aren't you?

>> Simon: Goodnight, Katie.
>> Katie: He does. He loves her.
