Episode 7
Int. Brady House
STEVE, SHANE, KIMBERLY, ROMAN, ABE, HOPE, and SHAWN are
standing in the living room looking at CHELSEA who has just walked in the door
with a suitcase. CU of Shawn’s look of disbelief.
shawn
(confused)
Chelsea? Mom - what the hell is she talking about?
Chelsea puts down her suitcase and takes her coat off.
chelsea
(deflecting Shawn’s question)
Wow this is some crowd!
Shawn looks at Chelsea’s suitcase, then at Hope.
shawn
OK, that's it. Now I know something’s going on. So you better
tell me what the hell it is.
int. brady house - later
Hope had no choice but to explain, and along with everyone
else's help, catches Shawn up to speed.
shawn
So mom, when were you planning on letting me in on this? I
don’t know if you noticed, but I’m a grown man and I don't need protecting.
hope
I’m sorry honey, I didn't want to put you in any danger...and I
certainly didn’t want you to feel like you had to drop everything and come
running to Salem if you and Belle weren't prepared to do that.
shawn
Mom, I love you for trying to protect me, but I want in on this. If dad is alive then I want to help find him.
hope
Of course, honey. I’m so sorry I didn't tell you.
HOPE gives SHAWN a gentle hug.
shawn
It's ok mom.
(pause)
Now that I’m up to speed, what’s our next move? Uncle Shane –
were you able to book those flights?
shane
Yep. Our flights leave in 2 days. We should get our itineraries
shortly. Billie is coordinating our arrival times and arranging for ground transportation
once we arrive. She’s also emailing everyone digital copies of all the
documentation - the blueprints as well as employee names and pictures - so we
have the information with us.
steve
Great. So now we need to decide how we’re going to split up.
hope
I think I should take the house in Greece with the security guards.
Chelsea and Shawn can come with me - being family, we may have an easier time
with security than the rest of you.
roman
Sounds good. Shane – why don’t you and Kim come with me to
Dubai. Steve – Kay – you two head to Italy.
steve
You got it. Everyone better take care of any last minute
business around here. We’ve only got 48 hours before we leave and we don't know
how long we’ll be gone - or what we’re up against...so be prepared for anything.
Int. brady pub
BELLE is sitting at a table drinking coffee inside the busy
pub. SHAWN enters, gives Belle a kiss on the cheek and sits down at the table
across from her.
belle
So what is all this about your dad? Why couldn’t you just tell me over the phone?
Is he really alive?
shawn
My mom definitely thinks so. I really can’t go into
details...but if there’s a possibility that it could be true, I have to help my
mom look for him.
belle
But how? Where?
shawn
We’re not sure. We’ve got a few leads so Roman, Shane, Kim,
Steve, Kayla, Chelsea, my mom and I are all going to go check them out.
belle
Sounds like it could be dangerous. Do you think Stefano had
anything to do with it?
shawn
We don’t really know anything at this point...but we leave in 2
days.
belle
What? How long will you be gone for?
shawn
I’m not sure.
(pause as he looks at Belle’s disappointed face)
Don’t worry Belle. I’ll be back before you know it.
belle
Shawn, promise me you’ll be careful.
shawn
I promise.
(he gives her a loving smile then asserts)
You have to promise me that you won’t mention any of this to
your mom and John. Your mom is still recovering and I don’t want John leaving
her to come help us.
belle
Promise.
shawn
And let’s not mention this to Claire either. The fewer the
people that know – the better.
Int. Brady House – hope’s bedroom
HOPE is packing a suitcase which is open on the bed.
hope
What am I going to tell Ciara? I have to tell her that I’ve
stepped down from the Commissioner’s position. And sooner or later she’s going
to find out about Rafe? The last thing I want is for her to get hurt.
int. brady house – living room
CIARA arrives home and walks into an empty living room. She
proceeds to take off her coat.
ciara
(with raised
voice)
Mom!
(pause when no one answers)
Mom?
Int. Brady House – Hope’s Bedroom
HOPE continues to pack – unaware that CIARA has arrived home. Ciara
makes her way upstairs and enters Hope’s bedroom, where she finds her packing a
suitcase. Ciara closes the door behind her and sees the blueprints on the wall
where the open door was.
ciara
Hey. What’s going on? Are you working on a case?
hope
Oh hey honey! You could say that.
CIARA watches as HOPE continues to pack.
hope
You’re home early. I wasn’t expecting you until lunch.
ciara
Where are you going? I didn’t think you travelled for work
anymore since you became the commissioner?
hope
Well...speaking of the commissioner job...there’s something I
need to tell you.
ciara
What is it?
hope
I kind of stepped down...and I’m hoping Abe will take my place.
ciara
What??? You loved that job!
Why would you do that? What is going on here?
hope
What do you mean?
ciara
Mom, cut the crap. You left your job, you’re packing bags...and
what the hell are all these blueprints doing up on the wall?
hope
Ciara Alice!
ciara
Whatever it is you’re up to, mom, I want in.
HOPE is not sure what to say and starts taking the blueprints
down from the wall.
hope
The blueprints were...I was working on a case...I guess they
need to go back to the station.
ciara
Really, mom? You’re lying and I know it.
hope
Ciara, I...
ciara
Mom, I am not a kid anymore. I’m a grown woman. I deserve to
know what the hell is going on here.
hope
You’re right, Ciara. I'll tell you everything – but I won’t
have you getting involved.
int. brady house – stairway – hall outside hope’s bedroom - later
We see CHELSEA walking up the stairs with papers in her hand.
She knocks on HOPE’S bedroom door.
chelsea
(talking loudly through the closed door)
Hope – my mom sent our itinerary.
int. brady house – hope’s bedroom
HOPE looks at CIARA who is shocked and a little angry that
CHELSEA is already in on the plan.
HOPE
(talking loudly to Chelsea OS behind the closed door)
Thanks Chelsea. I’ll be right out.
ciara
Chelsea’s here? And
she’s going with you?
hope
It’s different – you’re my daughter.
(pause as she packs up her suitcase)
Truthfully, I don’t think your dad would want either one of his
girls putting herself in danger.
ciara
Or his wife! If you two are going – then I’m going. No arguments.
You are not going to stop me. I need to help find dad.
hope
(with a smile)
I guess we’ll be needing another ticket.
