[Lily gasps.]
>> Lucinda: All right, nobody moves. Nobody moves or I put a bullet in this man's throat. All right?
>> Dante: You wouldn't dare.
>> Lucinda: Oh, yes, I would dare. You watch me do it. All right? Are you ready? One -- you understand that. One -- okay, let's go for two --
>> Damian: Do what she says, Dante. No one needs to be hurt, not even you.
>> Lucinda: Get back.
>> Dante: Do you even know -- do you even know how to use that, grandma?
>> Lucinda: Don't you worry. I know how to use this. You get back! Get back against the wall! I'm taking my family out of this God forsaken place.
>> Lily: No, no! Don't shoot! Nobody shoot!
>> Dante: Okay. Okay. Okay. You can wave that gun as much as you want. Come on, come on, grandma. What about that, huh? You might want to think about it before you get the boy dead.

>> Dante: You don't want to hit the boy, right? Put the gun down.
>> Lily: Don't make any moves, mother, please.
>> Holden: Lucinda, she's right.
>> Lucinda: I know what I'm doing.
>> Dante: You're going to get the boy killed, that's exactly what you're doing!
>> Simon: Lucinda, face it. He's not going to let Luke go.
>> Dante: Unless you got a perfect shot, you're going to get your grandson killed. And then you have nothing!
>> Damian: Enough, Dante! Leave my son alone! You got what you wanted!
>> Dante: Maybe I want something else now. Maybe I want you to suffer. Take my brother outside. Damian and the boy are coming with me.

LILY SNYDER, LUCINDA WALSH, HOLDEN SNYDER, AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Simon: It's all right, Lily! It's okay, I've got him!
>> Lucinda: I'm here, I'm okay.
>> Lily: You okay, you okay?
>> Lucinda: I'm all right, darling. Where's Damian?
>> Holden: Damian?!
>> Simon: He must have taken off.
>> Lucinda: I'll look outside. Damian?!
>> Simon: It's all right, Luke. Your mommy and daddy are okay.
>> Holden: Simon, Simon? How bad are you hurt?
>> Simon: It's all right.
>> Lily: Oh, he's so scared. Mommy's here. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. Okay. Mommy's gonna take off your hood and make sure you're all right. Okay? Just be careful. It's okay. It's okay. Oh. [Lily takes off the hood and realizes the boy is not Luke] Oh, no. No, it's not Luke.
>> Holden: Where's Luke? Tell us.
>> Lily: Please. It's okay, sweetie. Have you seen my son?

Scene 4:
Scene: Outside Patio

LILY SNYDER, LUCINDA WALSH, HOLDEN SNYDER, AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Lily: You must have some idea where my son is. Don't you?
>> Simon: What is going on here? Where is Luke?
>> Lily: Do you understand what I'm saying to you? Do you? Please?! Oh, no, no, no, please don't go.
>> Holden: English. Do you speak English?
>> Lucinda: He's gone.
>> Lily: Oh, mother, Luke is gone.
>> Lucinda: What? No, no, darling, he's -- it's all right. He's right here.
>> Lily: He's a double. Dante never intended to give Luke to us at all.
>> Lucinda: Oh, my God.
>> Lily: And now Dante is dead. Give me this. Listen to me right now.
>> Lucinda: Don't you do that! Don't you do it.
>> Lily: You either tell me where Luke is, or I'll kill you right here.
>> Holden: Lily -- Lily, don't. The last thing we need right now is more blood on our hands.
>> Lily: I'm gonna do whatever I have to, to get my son back. I don't care what I have to do.
>> Lucinda: Darling, don't.
>> Holden: We've done everything we could since this whole thing started, all right?
>> Lily: But Dante is dead.
>> Holden: I think I know where Luke is. Dante kept us separated, but I think that he was keeping Luke here.
>> Lily: How do you know that?
>> Holden: Luke was Dante's ace in the hole. He had to keep him here. We're wasting time on this guy, okay? You gotta trust me. We're gonna find our son, okay? Let's go.
>> Lucinda: All right. I'll -- I'm coming, too.
>> Holden: No, you stay here. You stay here. Simon needs your help. I'll find someone, and I'll tell them to call a doctor, all right?
>> Lucinda: No, no, no. Okay, all right --
>> Lily: Simon? Simon? Are you okay? Are you okay?
> Simon: Go find Luke. I'll be fine. Go find Luke.
>> Lucinda: All right. Honey, you go, I'll stay. I'll stay with him until the doctor gets here.
>> Holden: Don't worry about those guys. Just as long as you have the gun, you'll be all right, okay?

LUCINDA WALSH AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Lucinda: All right. Okay. Oh, my heavens. My friend, you've looked -- you've looked better.
>> Simon: Is it getting cold in here? I'm getting kind of cold.
>> Lucinda: Hey, hey! Here, wait a minute. Here. You're turning out to be quite a hero, you know that? Okay.
>> Simon: I had to do something with my life, didn't I?

Scene 5:
Scene: Outside Patio

LILY SNYDER, DAMIAN GRIMALDI, HOLDEN SNYDER, AND LUKE GRIMALDI

>> Lily: Have we checked in here?
>> Holden: Is it locked?
>> Lily: No. Luke must be in here somewhere. Luke?! Luke?!
>> Luke: Mommy?
>> Lily: Oh, my baby!
>> Luke: Mommy, no!
>> Holden: Get out of the way, Damian.
>> Lily: No! We're taking our son home.
>> Damian: I can't allow it. Get the boy.
>> Holden: Okay, fine. You want to play it this way again? Fine. Now you're gonna have to shoot me. That's the only way you're gonna get to keep my son.
>> Damian: I won't shoot you. But what if I miss? And hit something else by accident?
>> Lily: Damian, have you completely lost your mind?!
[Damian speaking Italian.]
>> Luke: Mommy, no!
>> Lily: Look, Damian, please -- please don't do this. Dante -- he's dead.
He's dead. The only threat to Luke right now is you.
>> Damian: I would never hurt him.
>> Holden: You already have!
>> Damian: Luciano is in the car. He's already gone. If you try to detain me in any way, then you're never gonna see him again.
>> Lily: Look, Damian if we do what you ask, if you have him for a little while, can we please just go home?
>> Damian: Guido's men have orders to shoot you both on sight if you try to follow. Don't you think about it.
>> Lily: No!

Scene 6:
Scene: Outside Patio

DOCTOR, LUCINDA WALSH, SIMON FRASIER, LILY SNYDER, GUIDO BOGGIA, AND HOLDEN SNYDER

>> Doctor: You are very lucky for now, Mr. Frasier.
>> Lucinda: Doctor, can -- can this young man, can he manage the trip back to the states?
>> Doctor: With the proper medical equipment.
>> Lucinda: Okay, you make a list. I have a plane at the airport. We'll take whatever we need. Darling! Hold it. This gentleman here has informed me that Damian has escaped, taking Luke with him and, in fact, he assisted him.
>> Lily: Tell me that's not true.
>> Guido: The boy is a citizen of Malta and will remain so.
>> Lily: He was kidnapped from the United States!
>> Guido: Then I suggest you all go back there. Take your friend to a hospital.
>> Lily: I am not going anywhere without my son.
>> Lucinda: Well, I'm not going anywhere, and I don't care about your law courts. I shot, and I shot in self-defense.
>> Holden: Lucinda, let it go. I think it's best if you just get on a plane, take Simon, and get out of here. Lily and I will stay.
>> Guido: That would not be a wise choice.
>> Holden: I don't care what you think.
>> Lucinda: Darling, okay, look. We have every resource. We'll match Damian. We'll match him dollar for dollar, blow for blow. We're gonna get the boy back. We're gonna get him.
>> Holden: We will. We'll find him.
>> Lucinda: All right, then. I'm gonna keep tabs on you, but I want to hear your voice.
>> Lily: All right. I'll call you when I can.
>> Lucinda: All right, sweetheart. All right. Go. Hey, thanks a lot. Take care of her. I feel funny even saying that to you. When have you not.
>> Lily: Did they give you something for the pain?
>> Simon: Yeah, I actually feel a little fuzzy.
>> Lily: I will never, ever be able to repay you for what you have done for me.
>> Simon: Then I won't send you a bill. I'd move heaven and earth for you, Lily. But now it's time for me to go home.

Location: Lakeview Hotel
Scene: Outside Patio

KATIE FRASIER AND BRUNO PORTALANO

>> Bruno: Can I assume your marriage isn't a happy one?
>> Katie: Yeah, we've had our problems.
>> Bruno: Maybe you should start having more fun in your life.
>> Katie: Mm. And that would include you?
>> Bruno: If you want.
[Katie remembering.]
>> Simon: Look, we really should get indoors before it starts pouring.
>> Katie: You're going back to the party?
>> Simon: Look, I don't think I'm gonna be welcome.
>> Katie: Well -- if you're not welcome, and I'm not welcome, maybe we should just have a little party of our own. What do you say?
>> Simon: I say -- Yeah, why not?
[End of Memory]
>> Bruno: Hey, something wrong?
>> Katie: Oh, I just had a thought.
>> Bruno: Something, or someone?
>> Katie: Someone.
>> Bruno: I tell you what -- when you're ready to forget about those memories for a night or two, you can give me a call. I'll come to wherever you are.
[Katie sighs.]
[Bruno leaves]
