The Avanya excitement continues. Simon tells the others
that they are evacuating the hotel, and he's going to get Joe and meet them at
the airport. Henry drags the trunk into the room and Simon says,
"Henry, Henry, there's not enough room for your make-up case!"
Henry says it's Desi's fault, he was supposed to dispose of the trunk with
Donovan's body in it. Henry wants nothing to do with it, so Simon agrees
to take care of it. "Why not, he's your doppelganger," agrees
Henry as he goes upstairs to help the others pack up. Simon cautiously
opens the trunk, only to find it stuffed with rocks and rags! A very alive
Donovan appears and demands the diamond and provenance. He pulls a knife
on Simon, but he's not quick enough. Simon knocks the knife out of his
hand and knocks him out, with a little help from Paul. Lucinda appears and
Paul tells her to find some rope. Paul tells Simon to go, he'll tie up
Donovan and meet him at the boat with the others since the airport is now
closed. Simon leaves and Lucinda rushes downstairs with Rose and Henry,
saying, "Of course I'm sure he's not dead!" They tie up Donovan
and Rose threatens him with the knife. He taunts her and tells her she
doesn't have the guts to hurt him. He says that Slade will never believe
Simon is Donovan.
Slade is impatiently waiting for Donovan on his boat with his
hostage Joe. Simon arrives pretending to be Donovan and Slade demands the
diamond. Simon tells him he'll get it when he lets Joe go. Slade
disagrees and hands Simon a gun to kill Joe. Simon tries to convince Slade
to keep him alive a little longer so they can get a bigger ransom from Rose's
family. When Slade refuses, Simon points the gun at him, but it's not
loaded. "Do you really think I'd give you a loaded gun, Mr. Frasier?"
asks Slade. He demands the diamond and provenance, and when Simon won't
willingly hand it over, he holds the gun on Joe and takes them out of Simon's
pocket. Suddenly Paul jumps down on top of Slade and gets the gun away
from him. Slade hits Paul, but Simon grabs him, and in the struggle Slade
goes overboard. Henry picks the diamond up off the deck where it fell, and
Lucinda grabs it out of his hand saying, "Why Henry, thank you!"
Simon and Paul decide that the only way off of the island and to Lucinda's jet
is by boat.

Transcripts from ATWTweekly
[ Avanya - El Capitan Hotel ]
>> Paul: It sounds like the hurricane's getting closer.
>> Simon: They're shutting down the hotel. They're evacuating everyone
before the hurricane hits.
>> Rose: What about my pop?!
>> Simon: I'm gonna take care of your father, Rose. I promise. Just get
what you need. Get to the airport now, the two of you. Go, go!
>> All right, okay. I'm going. 
>> Lucinda: Come on.
>> Paul: Have you got the diamond, the provenance?
>> Simon: Right here.
>> Paul: All right, now be careful. Slade will kill you if he finds out
you're not Donovon.
>> Simon: You keep your eyes open as well. The airport's gonna be teaming
with desperados looking for a way off this island. If they spot Lucinda's plane
--
>> Paul: Yeah, if I'm lucky, I'll be able to persuade her not to shoot
them, all right? Good luck.
>> Simon: Take care. Henry, Henry, there's not enough room for your makeup
case, buddy.
>> Henry: Oh, that's funny. Why don't you tell that Desi? He's the one
that's supposed to dump the body of your evil twin here. It looks like he
forgot.
>> Simon: All right. We can't leave it here, can we? 
>> Henry: No, no kidding. You got any bright ideas?
>> Simon: Well, we've gotta unpack it, dump it in the surf.
>> Henry: Unpack it? Do you know how hot it is on this island and how long
this body's been s trunk?
>> Simon: Go off with the ladies, Henry. I'll take care of it.
>> Henry: Oh, you will? Fine. Why not? He's your doppelganger.
>> Simon: [ Simon opens the trunk, but there's no body inside ] What the
--
>> "Simon": Sorry to disappoint you.
>> Simon: I thought you were dead.
>> "Simon": Well, you were misinformed.
>> "Simon": Now give me the diamond and the paperwork. And don't
tell me you don't have it, because I know you do! I heard you tell your friend
Paul.
>> Simon: And why would I hand them over to you?
>> "Simon": Because I'm the one with the knife. And you don't
wanna go home to that irritating wife of yours minus an eye.
>> Simon: You couldn't cut butter with that knife. Next time you pull a
knife on me, you better be willing to use it.
[ Paul walks up and sees Donovon threatening Simon. He jumps Donovon ]
>> Paul: All right. All right, go on. I got him. I got him, go! Go get to
Joe. 
There's no telling what Donovon's
told Slade. Get out of here.
>> Lucinda: Oh, god.
>> Paul: Lucinda, get some rope! Get some rope, go!
>> Lucinda: Okay. All right!
>> Paul: All right. Simon, we'll meet you at the boat.
>> Simon: No. No, it's too dangerous.
>> Paul: Simon, we don't have a choice! The airport is close I don't even
know if Lucinda's jet's back yet. Go!
>> Simon: All right. Just stay out of sight. Keep off the road, okay? I'll
meet you at the harbor. Look for the fishing trawler with the red moon above the
water mark. Right?
>> Paul: We'll meet you there. Get out of here! Go!
>> Lucinda: Of course I'm sure he's not dead, for heaven's sake!
>> Paul: Come on, give me the rope!
>> Rose: Paul, you didn't kill him? That's good.
>> Paul: Lucinda --
[ shouting over each other ] 
>> Lucinda: The knife!
>> Paul: Find his knife!
>> Rose: He came at you with a knife?
>> Lucinda: I got it!
>> Rose: Come on. I'm sick and tired of you threatening the people that I
love.
>> "Simon": You hurt me and you will never see your dear, old
pop again.
>> Rose: If you hurt my pop, I will track you down and kill you myself.
[ thunder claps ]
>> "Simon:" You haven't got the nerve. And if you think Slade's
gonna believe Simon's me, you're crazy.
>> Rose: Slade doesn't care. He doesn't care. He wants what he wants, that
guy.
>> Lucinda: And fortunately for us, Slade has got many tacks in his head.
He's already accepted Simon as you!
>> "Simon": You sure about that?
[ Slade's Boat Off the Coast of Avanaya ]
>> Slade: That's it. I don't leave now, I'll never beat this storm out of
the harbor.
>> Joe: You're gonna leave without the diamond?
>> Slade: I've been waiting for Donovon for a day and a half. If he was
coming, he'd be here by now.
>> Joe: So why don't you let me go? I'm no use to you out on that water.
>> Slade: What are you talkin' about, Joe? You're fish bait. And we all
got to eat.
[ Slade laughs ]
>> Simon: What's so funny? 
>> Slade: About time you showed up.
>> Simon: Oh, well, in case you didn't notice, we've got a bit of a storm
headed our way. I see the old man's still alive.
>> Slade: You have the diamond?
>> Simon: You'll get your diamond when I take the old man back to his
daughter.
>> Slade: Are you telling me she still has the diamond?
>> Simon: No, no, no. I've got the diamond right here with the paperwork.
>> Slade: So, waste the old man, and let's get out of here. Are you going
to shoot him, or do I have to?
>> Simon: Hey, hey, have you met his daughter?
>> Slade: Big mouth, bad attitude.
>> Simon: Yeah, that's all. But also, she's loaded. So is her mother. I
say we up the ante.
>> Slade: I've never known you to be greedy, Donovon.
>> Simon: She would do anything to get the old man back. 
You
and I, we could walk away with another million.
>> Slade: This guy won't last that long.
>> Simon: Yeah, but they don't have to know that, do they?
>> Slade: Fine. You go make 'em the offer. I'll take care of good-old Joe.
>> Simon: [ pulls the gun on Slade ] Change of plan. I take Joe, and you
get out here while you still can.
>> Slade: You think I'm gonna let you go with my diamond? You really think
I'd hand you a loaded gun? Mr. Frasier? Now, why don't you both have a seat?
>> Joe: Please, do what he says.
>> Slade: See? Even half-dead, he saw through your act. Now hand over the
diamond, or you'll never see that little, blonde wife of yours again.
[ Avanya - Onboard Slade's Boat ]
>> Slade: The diamond and the paperwork, now!
>> Simon: Let Joe go, and maybe I'll think about it.
>> Joe: Just give it to him, Simon. Save yourself. 
>> Slade: Sorry, Joe. Simon's a do-gooder. Aren't you, Simon? You wouldn't
let anything happen to good-old Joe. Now that's pretty. It's been fun,
gentlemen. But I'm afraid we're going to have to say good-bye.
[ The two men struggle when Paul jumps in and lends a hand. Slade is sent
overboard ]
>> Simon: All right, all right.
>> Paul: Hey, hey, hey. Just let him go. Let him go! Just let him go.
>> Rose: Careful, Paul! Paul? Oh, where is he? Oh, pop! Pop, are you okay.
>> Joe: Oh, Rose, I've never been so happy to see anybody before.
>> Lucinda: Why Henry, thank you. How's he doing?
>> Rose: He's got a fever. He needs to drink some water.
>> Joe: Whatever you say, Rosie.
>> Lucinda: Joe, we're gonna get you out of here. 
>> Rose: It's all right. It's all right.
>> Simon: Look, we've gotta get to Lucinda's plane.
>> Paul: Not in this storm we're not.
>> Simon: Well, we've gotta get off the island, now.
>> Paul: Is this thing sea-worthy?
>> Simon: Well, she's gonna have to be.
