episode 2
int. brady house – living room
There’s a knock on the door.
HOPE opens it to see STEVE standing there. They embrace.
hope
Thanks for coming, Steve. Come in.
They walk over to the couch and sit down.
steve
I came as quickly as I could.
Are you sure you’re up for this?
I don’t want to see you get your hopes up and get hurt all over again.
hope
I can handle it Steve. I
know in my heart Bo’s alive. I can feel
it. And I couldn’t live with myself if I
didn’t try to find him.
steve
OK. You know can count
on me. But I’m not sure this is something
we can handle on our own. I talked to
Shane last night and he and Kim are on the way.
Int. brady house – later
There’s a knock on the door.
HOPE gets up off the couch to go open the door while STEVE is working on
a laptop. SHANE and KIMBERLY are standing
on the porch outside.
hope
Oh Shane! Kimberly! I’m so glad you’re here. You don’t know how
much this means to me!
shane
We wouldn’t have it any other way!
kimberly
Steve filled us in about Bo. Do you really think my brother
might be alive?
hope
I know this might sound crazy, but Kimberly, I just have this
feeling deep down in my heart. You know
how Bo and I have this connection...I feel him. I really feel him...and I’ve
seen him.
shane
Wait – what do you mean you’ve seen him? Where?
hope
Well, I’ve been having these visions...I can see Bo...but he’s
not here.
shane
And that’s why you need our help to check out Victor’s other estates.
SHANE, now retired from the ISA, still has many contacts. After the espionage charges were dropped,
STEVE was not allowed to return to the ISA. Both feel this will probably
complicate things and cause some slow-downs. But HOPE’S belief is so strong
that she knows they are on the right track.
shane
I know you’re not going to like this Hope, but I think we
should also call Billie. She’s still at the ISA and we could really use her help
as an inside contact.
hope
I don’t know if I want her involved, Shane. We don’t exactly see eye to eye.
int. dimera mansion - flashback
Flashbacks to May 6,2005 of HOPE punching BILLIE.
int. brady house - present
HOPE is reluctant to contact BILLE. With so much history
between BO, Billie and herself, she doesn't want to drudge all those memories
up. But she gives her head a shake and pushes that all aside – for Bo.
hope
OK fine – but let me call her – I’ve got a few things I’d like
to say to her.
SHANE and STEVE comically glance at each other, rolling their
eyes with “oh boy” thoughts in their heads. Hope walks out to the kitchen while
dialing on her cell phone.
int. brady house - kitchen
hope
Billie, it’s Hope.
Please don’t hang up. I need to
talk to you about Bo.
int. brady house – living room
HOPE returns from the kitchen.
hope
Good news. Billie says she’s on board. She’s going to pull a
few strings and see what she can come up with at the ISA. She also said Chelsea’s
jumping on the next flight to Salem. She wants to help find her dad.
shane
Great. We’re going to
need all the help we can get. And we’re going to need 100% from everyone
involved.
steve
You’ve got my support, Hope. 100%.
kayla
Me too.
kimberly
Count me in.
hope
(with an appreciative smile)
Thanks, you don’t know how much that means to me. In that case,
I’ve got another call to make.
HOPE starts dialling her phone again.
hope
(with a look of conflict on her face)
Abe? Abe, listen to me very closely. Something has come up – something very
important that’s going to need my full attention. I can’t explain right now, but I need you to
trust me. I am going to have to step down from the Commissioner’s position.
(muffled but loud argument)
Abe, Abe, Abe - please hear me out. I want you to appoint Rafe
in my absence. He’s already up to speed on all my cases. We can talk more about
it later – I really don’t have time to argue with you right now. Please Abe, as
your friend, I need you to do this for me. Please.
(inaudible response)
Thank you. Yes...OK...I will.
Thanks Abe. I will let you know if there’s anything you can do - I just
might have to take you up on that.
HOPE hangs up. Hope looks up and sees SHANE, KIMBERLY, STEVE, and
KAYLA, all busy making plans. Hope realizes she better talk to RAFE, but tensions
have been high between them since SAMI returned. She slips out the door without
being noticed.
int.police station
HOPE runs into the police station and sees RAFE standing
looking at the contents of a folder. She
grabs him by the arm and pulls him into the conference room, shutting the door
for privacy.
hope
Rafe, we need to talk.
rafe
This sounds serious.
hope
(speaking quickly)
You know I care about you, and you know how important honesty
is to me. So I need to be honest with
you right now.
rafe
Hope – back up a minute - what’s going on?
hope
(almost speaking to herself)
Oh God, I hate this.
rafe
Hate what? Would you please tell me what is going on!
hope
Rafe, you know I love you...
rafe
(he says with confusion)
Okaaay?
hope
...but I know Bo is alive.
(pause, silence from Rafe who has a look of disbelief on
his face)
I need to find him, Rafe.
(pause, still silence)
Rafe? Rafe, say something. I’m so sorry. The last thing I want to do is hurt you.
rafe
No, no...how do you know this, Hope? How do you know this isn’t
another one of Dimera’s schemes?
hope
I can feel him, Rafe.
rafe
(with disbelief)
Look, I know you and Bo had this connection...but I really
think you need to slow down here.
hope
I don’t have time to slow down.
In fact, I told Abe that I’m resigning as police commissioner and I
recommended that you take over.
rafe
You what?
hope
I’ve got a lead and I’m leaving tonight.
rafe
Whoa, whoa, whoa, you-
hope
(puts her hand up and interrupts)
Don’t worry! I’m not going alone.
rafe
Well who-
hope
No time to explain. I’ll call you when I get there.
HOPE quickly kisses RAFE on the cheek, smiles at him and turns
to leave.
rafe
(completely caught off-guard, yelling after a departing
Hope)
Wait - where’s there? Hope! Think about this a minute! Hope,
wait!
HOPE stops at the door and turns to look at RAFE.
rafe
I’m not going to be able to change your mind, am I?
hope
Nope.
rafe
Well, if you need anything...anything at all...you just call
me, OK?
hope
I will.
HOPE smiles with a spark in her eye and a raised eyebrow, then turns
and disappears out the door.
RAFE is visibly upset. He knows how much Hope loved Bo and he
knows there's no point in fighting her on this.
int. the brady pub
ROMAN is drying beer glasses at the bar. HOPE rushes up to the
bar.
hope
Roman – I need your help.
It’s a matter of life and death.
ROMAN looks at HOPE with concerned face.
int. brady house – living room
HOPE and ROMAN enter the house to find SHANE, KIMBERLY, STEVE,
and KAYLA still heavily in discussion.
steve
Hey - look what the cat dragged in!
STEVE and ROMAN embrace.
roman
Wow – looks like you’ve assembled quite the A-Team here.
KAYLA and KIMBERLY give their brother ROMAN a group hug.
int. victor’s mansion
VICTOR sits on the couch and watches as MAGGIE heads out the
front door. Once he is convinced she’s gone, he picks up the phone and dials.
victor
Is there any change?
INT. one of victor’s other mansions - foreign country
dr. rolf
No, there's no change. Removing Bo’s tumor was successful, but
Bo still has no memories. You knew there
may be complications with such a risky procedure. You have to have patience,
Victor.
int. victor’s mansion
victor
I’m fresh out.
INT. one of victor’s other mansions - foreign country
dr. rolf
Maybe you could send some more photographs of Bo with Hope,
Shawn Douglas, and Ciara? I need more
pictures of the Brady family if we’re going to make any breakthroughs.
int. victor’s mansion
victor
Where am I going to get pictures?
(with sarcasm)
Do you expect me to just ask Hope and tell her I’m working on a
scrap book...or that I’m suddenly feeling sentimental? Gee - that won’t raise
any suspicion.
Victor slams down the phone in disgust. He looks over to the
mantle where there are family photos that MAGGIE has put up. He gets an idea. Maybe there is a way...
victor
(with a smile)
Maggie.

fade to:
int. foreign bedroom
BO is sitting in bed. He slowly gets up and walk to the window.
Bo looks out at the ocean and suddenly has a memory.
ext. fancy face – boat deck - flashback
Flashback to 1987 of BO & HOPE sailing on the Fancy Face.
We see a close-up of the boat name.
fade to:
SPLIT SCREEN - int. foreign bedroom present – int. brady house
Split screen of BO staring out the window, confused, wondering
what the Fancy Face boat name means (RS), while we also see HOPE staring
longingly out her window at the starry sky (LS).
