Episode 18
int. victor’s greek mansion – medical wing
HOPE, SHAWN, CIARA, and CHELSEA continue to look through files
on the computer. Suddenly, Hope has a flash of another vision. She sees Bo in a
dark place with cement walls and floor, and he looks upset. Hope quietly stands
up and walks away from the others to be alone with her thoughts. Shawn and
Chelsea are engrossed in the images on the computer screen, but Ciara glances
up and notices Hope. Hope freezes mid-step – she has another vision. This time
she sees more. She sees Bo throwing the chess set across the room and it lands
in front of Dr. Rolf.
hope
(gasping and snapping out of her vision)
No!
Tears begin to stream down HOPE’S face. CIARA quickly runs to
her mother’s side. SHAWN, CHELSEA aren’t far behind.
ciara
Mom, what is it?
hope
I, I saw your father. He was upset. He was with a man.
ciara
What man?
hope
A man I thought was long gone. A man that did terrible things
to me in the past.

Int. lab – flashback
Flashback to August 25, 1999 where we see the doctor
examining Princess Gina and Hope who are
lying on operating tables and there are brain scans flickering on monitors in
the BG.
int. victor’s greek mansion – medical wing - present
hope
He is one of the reasons I was away from you and your dad for so
long.
SHAWN grabs HOPE’S hand and holds it tight.
shawn
Who was it mom? Who?
HOPE slowly turns and looks at SHAWN with a terrified look in
her eyes.
hope
It was Dr. Rolf.
SHAWN has not seen that look of terror in his mom's eyes in a
long time. The thought of Dr. Rolf scares HOPE to her very soul.
shawn
No, there’s no way. He and Stefano are both dead.
SHAWN drops his head and gives it a shake. CIARA and CHELSEA
both look at each other in confusion. They have no idea about what DR. ROLF did
to HOPE in the past but are afraid to ask.
hope
It’s all starting to make sense. Victor...Victor hired Rolf to
help save Bo.
(pause while thinking)
They must have brought Bo here to operate on his tumor.
HOPE is looking around at all the equipment in the medical
facility.
shawn
Makes sense...but where is he now?
HOPE closes her eyes and thinks about the vision she had. She
concentrates hard on every aspect of that vision. We see close-ups of the
cement walls, the floor, and the spiral staircase leading up to a door. The
visions begin to intermix with flashbacks of a similar location.
Int. Tunnel – flashback
We see a flashback from July 13, 1984 of her grandmother
bringing HOPE down to a tunnel to reunite with BO.
int. victor’s greek mansion – medical wing - present
HOPE smiles at the memory of her grandmother.
HOPE
(quietly to herself, lost in thought)
The tunnels.
(snapping out of her visions)
There must be tunnels somewhere in this house! Shane told me
they found a secret passageway in Dubai...there must be one here too. And that’s
where we’ll find your dad. I know it. I saw it.
chelsea
But we searched this entire house and didn’t find any tunnels.
hope
Where’s Higgins? He knows this place inside and out. He’ll know
if there’s a secret passageway.
shawn
I’ll go get him.
hope
(quietly to herself)
We’re coming Bo. Hold on.
int. victor’s greek mansion – tunnels
VICTOR and DR. ROLF exchange looks of concern as they watch BO
who is pacing back and forth.
bo
(verging on panic)
I can't, I can't stay down here any longer! Dad when are we
getting out of here?
Dr. Rolf
Bo, you’ve got to calm down. Come, sit. Let's work on our
counting technique. It has always helped you stay calm before.
bo
(agitated)
That’s not going to work! It might work upstairs in my cozy
bedroom, but it's not going to work in this miserable place!
victor
Please, son, try to calm down.
Suddenly the tunnel door opens and VICTOR turns to see who is
there.
victor
What are you doing down here? Where’s Higgins?
We see the SECURITY GUARD standing at the door out of breath.
security guard
Sir, I need to speak with you immediately. We have multiple
situations arising.
Victor
What is it now?
security guard
I need to speak with you privately.
VICTOR walks over to the SECURITY GUARD and they both move into
the corner of the room farthest from BO.
victor
Fine. Spit it out.
security guard
Michael’s dead, sir. He was found strangled to death in the
vineyard.
victor
What? By whom? Is Isabella OK? What about the others?
security guard
Isabella’s fine. The police brought her in for questioning.
victor
And what about our special house guest?
security guard
He’s gone. We suspect he’s the one who killed Michael, sir. Our
men haven’t been able to locate him.
victor
Dammit! What good is it to hire security guards if they can’t
keep the place secure?
security guard
There’s more, sir.
victor
How could this get any worse?
security guard
Your grandson is grilling Higgins about the tunnels. I don’t
know how he found out.
victor
Damn him! Well let’s hope Higgins can do his job and keep his
mouth shut!
(pause)
Alright, keep a close eye on them and keep me informed.
security guard
Yes, sir.
The SECURITY GUARD exits the tunnels.
V/O victor
(thinking to himself)
What else could possibly go wrong?
