Episode
Thirteen: Tony Reveals to Bart
How He Faked the Serial Killings and Framed
Marlena; Jack, Jennifer, Baby Deveraux and
Victor Wander the Jungle to Find Tony's Lair.
Background:
[Matt was off camera again for a couple of weeks] At Tony's faux-di
Mera mansion Tony was with a Zen master. Then Bart arrived. Tony got
a call and referred to the person as father. H told Bart that whomever
made it to jungle was to be killed. He told Bart that the people in
New Salem cannot know about the others on the other side of the island,
and vice-a-versa. Bart wanted to know how Tony was able to fake it all.
Tony told him that Marlena was drugged and implanted with false memories.
He made sure that she was at the scene of the murders, and drugged to
believe that she killed them in the manner in which they were believed
murdered. However, Tony was at all the crime scenes and shot a drugged
dart at the victims. The drug simulated death. With the help of others
the victims bodies were made to appear that they suffered from the victims
people believed they died from. The mortician was working for him, and
he would not embalm them, but would put them in coffins and bury them.
Then someone would dig up the bodies, transport them to New Salem, and
inject them with another drug to revive them. Jack was the hardest because
they had to find some body similar to Jack's to have the organ harvesting.
Tony then told Bart how his death was faked. His scars from the tiger
are fake. During the attack he wore body armor. The paramedics working
for him were able to take him to the hospital. As for Marlena, the sharpshooter
was working for him, instead of shooting her with a bullet, he shoot
her with the doctored dart. He told Bart that the first part of the
plan had been the murders. The second part had been the island. The
third part was about to take place. Just then Hope was the door so Bart
did not hear about the third part.
Meanwhile the Salemites got mixed up again. Bo was with Billie. Hope
wanted Tony's help to get outside to look for Bo. Once outside she found
Patrick, alive. She and Patrick are caught by Bo in a compromising position,
and she found Bo and Billie in a similar position. Was this done by
Tony the same way he manipulated the victims into seeing their loved
ones with others? Was he manipulating Bo and Hope? Was Billie or Patrick
or Both working for him?
Meanwhile in Salem TEK and Brady went to the island on a boat. Nicole
tagged along, worried that with Victor alive he would tell Brady that
she blackmailed Jan into trying to kill him.
Patrick admitted to Hope he was a soldier of fortune, that was how he
got mixed up with the di Meras. He insisted that he had given that up.
Billie explained that she was working with the ISA when she discovered
that Marlena was being framed for the serial killings. Stefano's goons
stopped her before she could do anything, and brought her to the other
side of the island. Though she had never seen him, she had heard Stefano's
name mentioned.
John and Roman go looking for the power source to the island. Bo, Hope,
John, Patrick and Billie were captured by Tony's men. They discover
that they were being held underwater. Bo accused Patrick of being a
di Mera spy, as Bart and Tony were monitoring. Patrick was taken from
the group; later Tony told Bo that Patrick had betrayed them. Meanwhile
the others escaped, but they got into more trouble in the process. Patrick
slipped into the control room and did something to the computer. Apparently
it was to blow the island up, or was it.
Nicole, wandering around, found a very much alive Colin. Before Nicole
could return with Brady to prove Colin was alive, Tony had him removed.
Eventually Colin was found. Nicole was thrilled that she was proved
innocent of Colin's murder. Colin came too and explained that he had
been hired to cure Tony. However, Tony betrayed him. Colin told them
that Stefano had wanted him create some drug to simulated death. Colin
then explained to everyone how the "murders" were simulated.
Meanwhile, Tony entertained a mysterious guest, whom he offered a Cuban
Cigar. The island began to experience tremors from the very active volcano.
Apparently Tony's plan to blow up the island was about to begin.

Scene
One: Jack, wearing another hat like the Australian military hats, Jennifer,
carrying Baby Deveraux, arrive at the barrier. They see someone coming
behind them. Jennifer gasps.
JACK:
(Pointing
to some vegetation) Quick let's go this way. (They hide amongst the
vegetation). This way.... quick....
They
move farther into the compound portion of the jungle away from the path,
and the person. Once they feel they are well hidden, they kneel down
to further hide themselves. Jack tries to see who it is.
JACK:
(Cont.) Shhh.... (Jack sees that it is Victor) It's Victor.... It's
Victor.... (Calling to him louder but still quietly so as not to be
heard) VICTOR! OVER HERE! Victor!
Victor
comes over to them.
VICTOR:
I'm glad I found you.
JENNIFER: (Concerned) Is everything all right?
VICTOR: No! Caroline just told me that one of di
Mera's henchmen took Abe and Marlena away a gunpoint.
JENNIFER: What?!
JACK: Wa.... wa..... wait a minute, wh.... wh....
wha.... what did they think, do you know where they went?
VICTOR: I have no idea--
Victor
stops in mid-sentence when the ground begins to shake. Jennifer shouts
out. The shaking has short circuited the power to the barrier, and it
shuts off.
JENNIFER:
WHHHAAA!
JACK: Well.... (it stops shaking) look, whatever
happened it just completely disabled the island's power.
Just
then they hear someone walking towards the barrier. They try scrunch
down to hide themselves.
VICTOR:
(Motioning for them to be quiet) Shhh.
JACK: All right.
A
man walks through the disengaged barrier, as the trio watch.
VICTOR:
It matches the description of the henchman who took away Abe and Marlena.
JACK: Let's go after him.
JENNIFER: (Putting her hand on his should to stop
him) NO! (Jack stops) Remember what happened the last time
we went out there!
JACK: Right! I'll go after him.
You stay here with the baby.
JENNIFER: NO YOU'RE NOT! (Jack flinches
at her forcefulness). I'm not going to be separated
from you again!
JACK: (Realizing it is futile to argue with her)
Right, we'll all together.
JENNIFER: Okay.
VICTOR: Let's go!
They
come out of hiding and stop in front of the barrier. Jack picks up a
dead palm branch and waves it up and down a couple of times where the
force field used to be. There are no sparks so they realize it is indeed
deactivated. He looks around to make sure no more of Tony's men are
around, and then throws away the branch away, and tells them to go through.
JACK:
Okay, okay, let's go! Come on!
They
quickly run through, as Jack motions with his hand to follow him. Jack
helps her hold the baby. Victor follows behind.
Once they have gotten through a noise emanates from the shields it appears
the force field may be re-activating.
A moment after they pass, Bart appears carrying a gun. Apparently he
has been following them all along.
Scene
Two: Tony's henchman continues to move through the jungle, obviously
heading for Tony's secret Lair. A few seconds later, Jack, Jennifer
and Tony follow. They stop before the clearing, and Jack peers around
to make sure the coast is clear.

VICTOR:
I think he's heading back to the control center.
JENNIFER: (Breathing heavily) Maybe.... Maybe that's
where everyone else is being held.
JACK: There's only one way to find out, keep on
this guy's tail. (Nodding to them to continue) Come on!
They
continue to move through the jungle, hoping that they are being lead
to the others.
Following seconds behind is Bart with another henchman. Bart is pleased
they are doing just what Tony wants them to do, go to him. If they intend
to turn back, Bart will use his gun on them. He and the other man continue
to follow them.
Scene
Three: The trio are stopped. Victor is watching the first man through
binoculars. Jack is caressing Jennifer.
VICTOR:
I think he is on to us. He must have heard the baby cry.
JENNIFER: Ohhh, I'm sorry. I'm so
sorry!
Jack
places a hand on her shoulder to reassure that it is not her fault.
JACK:
Oh, it's all right.
VICTOR: He pretended he didn't hear.
They
continue to look in the direction where the henchman went.
JACK:
(Gesturing) Victor, If he keeps moving when he knows that we are here--
JENNIFER: Oh my gosh, that means that someone is
following us.
VICTOR: Maybe we ought to split up--
JENNIFER: No! We can't
slit up! We have to stick together (nodding her head towards Jack)
Jack and me have been out in this jungle, it's so
to get lost, Victor.
VICTOR: Don't worry about me, I've got a few tricks
up my sleeve. I'll keep track of the lead guy with the binoculars.,
and as long as I stay close to the path I should be all right.
JACK: Okay Victor, good luck!
VICTOR: (Walking off) You two be careful!
JACK: Right!
JENNIFER: Oh my gosh, I hope he is doing the right
thing, Jack.
JACK: (Looking down at her) We have no
choice, we got to get off this island before it is too
late!
They
look around, anxiously.
JACK:
(Cont.) Jennifer, those tremors are getting worse.
Turn
to look at him even more concerned. Jack gestures with has hands.
JACK:
(Cont.) Not that earthquakes are my.... my field of expertise or anything,
but these could be a preview of bigger
things to come. Come on! Come on!
Jennifer
anxiously looks behind her. Then takes off following Jack, who is leading
her by her elbow.
JACK:
(Cont.) Right over here.
After
the are out of sight, Bart appears. He is pleased, and he says so will
"The Boss," for they are "walking right into his trap.
Scene
Four: Jack and Jennifer, carrying their son, continue to walk through
the jungle. They come out into a small clearing. They have just seen
the henchman disappear through a dead end.
JACK:
(Whispering and pointing) What, did you see that?
JENNIFER: Yeah!
JACK: (Stopping) It's a.... he slipped through some
opening in the wall.
JENNIFER: Jack, that's it, that's it, tha... that's
the entrance to the di Mera compound.
JACK: All right!
JENNIFER: Are you thinking what
I'm thinking?
JACK: Yes! let's--
JENNIFER: (Interrupting him) You we can't, we can't,
it's not the right to do. I mean, Jack we have to protect this
baby! He doesn't.... he doesn't even have a name yet. He
hasn't even met his sister.
JACK: (Stroking his baby's head) Jennifer, nobody's
going to harm a hair on my baby's head! We can do!
You and me. And the baby.
Jennifer
looks around, not knowing what to think or do. Jack lovingly caresses
his son's head.
JACK:
(Cont.) We're going to get through this together, I promise! Okay?
Let's go! Come on.
Jack
leads her by the arm to the rock wall, to try and find the secret door
which the henchman used. He finds it, and opens it.
They
go through the secret door and disappear.
Scene
Five: In a passageway Bo and Hope turn the corner just as Jack and Jennifer
come from the other direction. They are all thrilled to see each other
and run up to each other. Jennifer and Hope hug.
HOPE:
Jen! (She stops Bo) Bo! Jennifer!
BO: What are you guys--
JACK: (Gesturing) We're looking for you!
We're looking for anybody!
JENNIFER: I'm soo glad to see you! Ha.... Have you
seen Victor? He.... He was with us and then (looking at Jack) because
we thought we were being followed.
Just
then the lights go out and there is another earthquake.
The lights come on again, but the ground is still shaking.
JACK:
Wha.... what is going on with all the these tremors?
HOPE: Di Mera is about to blow up the island.
JACK AND JENNIFER: WHAT!
Just
then another door opens, and Patrick joins them.
They
turn to him. Jack puts his around around her, it is obviously he does
not trust Patrick.
PATRICK:
Look, you have to get off this island before it's too late!
JENNIFER: Why? Wha.... wha.... what is going on?
BO: He's not going to tell you the truth! He works
for Tony!
JENNIFER: What? No, no, he doesn't!
BO: Yes he does.
HOPE: I know, I don't want to believe it either.
He admitted it.
PATRICK: Believe me, I know I have alot of explaining
to do, but right now, you have to get off this island!

Jennifer
looks at him confused and hurt. Jack looks angry. Hope talks, and Jack
and Jennifer turned their gaze from Patrick to Hope.
HOPE:
Patrick's right. We'll settle all accounts later. Bo and I will stay
and look for the others. Jack, take Jennifer and the baby back to
New Salem as fast as possible. When you get there, take everyone
to the docks!
JENNIFER: (Her voice showing her concern) Okay.
JACK: All right!
JENNIFER: All right!
Hope
kisses Jennifer. Patrick appears to be walking away. Bo, with hatred
in his voice, tells him to stop.
BO:
Lockhart, you're not going anywhere!
I don't want you telling Tony what we're doing!
Just
then Bart appears.
They
all turn to him in horror. Bart is a few feet away, pointing a machine
at them.
BART:
(Cont.) None of you are going anywhere! Not until you say "hello"
to the Count.... (pausing) and his father!
Jennifer
and Jack look over towards Bo and Hope, terrified. Bo furious looks
at Bart. Hope is shocked; they all are, they thought Stefano was behind
it, but hearing that he is there still is startling.
