Scene 1:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Paul Ryan's Room

SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN

>> Henry: Anything?
>> Simon: No, nothing.
>> Henry: All right, well, let me show you what I bought.
[ Singing ] isn't she beautiful? Now, she set us back about a grand, but let me tell you -- she's state-of-the-art.
>> Simon: A grand? Katie can get these for $4.99 at Price Warehouse.
>> Henry: No, no, no, no. She cannot. Not this baby. Oh, no, no, no, no. Now, it looks like a smoke detector. It even works like a smoke detector. You see?
You hear that? Yeah, I know, that's very loud. Okay, we'll stop that. But do you see this little red light right there? It's a motion detector attached to a nanny cam. Anyone that walks in the room -- voila! They're on candid camera.
>> Simon: Hmm.
>> Henry: Yeah.
>> Simon: All right. So what if someone gets suspicious? What --
>> Henry: What? Simon, of what? What, are they suddenly going to decide to take apart a smoke detector? What for?
>> Simon: I don't know. What if Travers likes to -- smoke?
>> Henry: I don't think so.
>> Simon: All right, once again, I label you with the term "genius."
>> Henry: Oh, well, thank you, Simon. Now, as soon as Paul gets back, we're gonna go over to Travers' little hidey-hole and install this baby. And the next time he has a guest?
>> Simon: We'll know who it is.

Scene 2:
Scene: Paul Ryan's Room

SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN, PAUL RYAN
>> Simon: Okay, so what's the range?
>> Henry: You'll get a clear picture of anything that's in the room. It's motion-activated, and the lens is on a swivel, so anybody that comes in, we'll see them.
>> Simon: Okay. On what and where?
>> Henry: On a monitor nearby and on tape. Is there like an empty broom closet or an empty room? Something like that?
>> Simon: Yeah, there is. Just down the hall.
>> Henry: All right.
>> Simon: All right, where have you been?
>> Paul: There was a fire at the Snyder farm.
>> Simon: You're kidding. Did anyone get hurt?
>> Paul: No, everybody's fine -- Lily, Holden, Emma. Luke, he's a little shook up, though. He was in the barn when it caught fire -- he and my brother Will. And Will's in intensive care.
>> Simon: Oh, man, I'm so sorry. What happened?
>> Paul: He got hit in the head. Thankfully, Aaron Snyder carried him to safety and he wasn't burned, but he inhaled a lot of smoke and he hasn't regained consciousness. I talked to Hal and they may have to operate. And so I've been looking for my mother all over town to let her know, but she's disappeared. So I gotta head back to the hospital soon, but I wanted to call and come in to check and see what was going on with you guys. So, guys, give me some good news. I've had enough of the other kind tonight.
>> Henry: Yeah, well, the good news is Mr. Travers called Mr. Stenbeck on the phone.
>> Simon: We did only hear one side of the conversation.
>> Paul: Well, it's only a matter of time.
>> Simon: Well, time is running out. Especially how the election is tomorrow. Did anyone follow Travers out of the room after I left?
>> Paul: No, not that I saw. But I did get sidetracked by someone who could prove useful.
>> Simon: Who?
>> Paul: A former barmaid at Java Underground. She's running errands for Travers, said she's scared of him and that he's blackmailing her. She's going to feed us anything she can. What?
>> Simon: Well, who is she? And can you trust her?

Scene 3:
Scene: Paul Ryan's Room

SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN, PAUL RYAN, BONNIE MCKECHNIE, ISAAC JENKINS

>> Henry: Her name is Brandy? Yeah, I'd trust her.
>> Paul: She's worth cultivating.
>> Henry: I bet.
>> Simon: Look, just get whatever info you can out of her. But do not, under any circumstances, tell her what we're doing, what we're up to, nothing.
>> Paul: Of course.
>> Simon: All right?
>> Bonnie: Hey, you guys.
>> Henry: It's the beauteous Bonnie -- and Isaac.
>> Simon: Hey, Isaac.
>> Isaac: Simon, Paul. I heard about the boy. Everything okay?
>> Paul: Yeah. Fingers are crossed. How'd you hear?
>> Isaac: Word gets out. You know, Oakdale is a small place. It's hard to keep a secret for long.
>> Simon: So, Bonnie filled you in?
>> Isaac: This goes to Travers' room?
>> Simon: Uh-huh, yeah.
>> Isaac: You realize that this is illegal? And that you're going after a man who won't hesitate to prosecute, that you're all going to jail, or worse, if Stenbeck is involved. You of all people know this, Simon. And still, you get Bonnie involved.
>> Bonnie: Nobody got me involved, Isaac.
>> Isaac: Are you people crazy?!
>> Henry: We gotta get going.
>> Simon: Listen, Bonnie, Paul's gotta get back to the hospital. Can you take over here from him when he does? >> Bonnie: Yes.
>> Simon: That'd be great. Me and Henry, we have got some stuff we have to do.
>> Isaac: No, no. Bonnie is out.
>> Bonnie: The mouth is moving, but I don't hear a thing. Yes.
>> Simon: Listen, give our best to Will.
>> Henry: Yeah, me, too.
>> Isaac: What's that?
>> Bonnie: What?
>> Isaac: That thing that they were carrying out of here?
>> Paul: Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
>> Isaac: All right, you be like that. We'll see who's laughing at 2:00 in the morning when you're calling me to bail you out of jail.
