Episode Eighteen: The Odyssey Starring
Jack Deveraux, Part I: Jack Escapes from
the Castle, and Arrives at a Bavarian Village.

Scene One: Jack is cautiously staying next to the walls, wandering around the corridors trying to find Cassie and then a way out of the castle to safety.

Just the Jack hears footsteps. He looks around in panic, and leans against a wall. The wall is one of those secret panels/revolving doors, and Jack disappears.

Scene Two: Meanwhile, Tony is showing Marlena a live feed of the wedding. Marlena is emotional seeing her baby girl dressed in her wedding gown and getting married. She is sad that she cannot be there. Just then Shawn crashes through St. Luke's destroying the church and causing a huge ceiling chandelier to crash down on the wedding party. Marlena screams in horror. She becomes hysterical. Then the feed stops, she does not what happened. She continues to scream in agony.

Scene Three: Jack has gone through the secret revolving doors, and he is in another hallway when he hears Marlena's screams. He stops and tries to figure out its origin.

Marlena's sobs still can be heard.

Jack gets the guards keys from his pocket, and takes them out. He takes off trying to go in the same direction as the screams.

Scene Four: Jack turns the corner into another hallway. He looks around trying to figure out the direction of the screams.

Jack takes out the keys and tries one of the doors.

There is no answer so he locks the door. He goes towards another one.

Just as he is about to put the key in the lock he hears a guard or some announcement on a loud speak.[ It probably was the right door]

Jack stops and listens.

Jack continues to stand trying to figure out what to do next.

Scene Five: Marlena is not allowed to see what happened after the crash. She tells Roman she knows that Tony was behind what happened to Belle. She vows that he will pay for everything.

Scene Six: Jack frantically runs down another hallway. He stops at the main door. He is carrying what looks like a uniform. He takes out the keys and unlocks the door.

Jack takes the keys out of the door, and slowly, cautiously, opens it. He peeks out to make sure the coast is clear. Looking around, he slowly exists the castle, but first he looks back inside, to make sure. Nothing! Jack realizes he has made it.

Outside there is snow on the ground. Jack does not hesitate, he walks way.

[Air date January 6th, 2005]

Scene One: Jack has a guard's uniform on with billy-club, and maybe a gun, but no jacket. It is freezing, the wind is howling, and Jack is hugging himself and rubbing his arms himself to keep warm. He cautiously turns the corner into a court yard, in front is a building, looks like an inn or bar. Jack stops several feet from the entrance and tries to peer inside. People ar walking around inside, in front of the; one couple embrace. Jack then flashes back to his escape.

Jack takes the keys out of the door, and slowly, cautiously, opens it. He peeks out to make sure the coast is clear, looking around. Slowly he exists the castle. He looks back inside. Nothing. Jack realizes he has made it.

Outside there is snow on the ground. Jack does not hesitate, he walks way.

Back in the present, Jack sighs, and walks away from the door. Rubbing his arm.

Scene Two: Jack is still hanging around outside, rubbing himself. Snow is all around and the wind still is howling.

Jack finally decides to go inside. It is an inn. Jack stops in the middle of loby, and thinks to himself.

Just then Jack sees a man leave a tip at the table, and Jack gets an idea. Jack surreptitiously walks into the bar and goes over to the table; he watches as the patron walks out of sight . Some other patrons are laughing and talking, Jack waits a monent, then Jack secretly swipes the coins. Jack looks at the coins and mentally counts them.

Jack sits down at the table just as a waitress comes up to his table. Jack's head bent over, apparently trying to be inconspicuous.

Jack slowly raises his head and looks at her. He believes that he has been busted.

Jack flashes a crocked smile.

She walks off. Jack looks around, and then gets up. Jack jiggles the change in his hand. He goes over to a coat rack, as he does so he sees two village policemen sitting at the table behind him. At the coat rack he takes a large, silly looking cap with ear flaps, which would help to hide much of his face, and a heavy winter jacket.

Jack puts the coat on, as he does so he thinks to himself.

Just then Bart enters the inn.

He stops some guy in the lobby and shows him a picture, and points to it

The guy shrugs, it is a picture of Jack.

Jack hears him.

Bart and the two policemen laugh.

Jack is frozen, and stands panicstricken. Jack looks right and left with his eyes, but does not dare to turn around.

Bart shows them the photo of Jack.

Jack continues to listen in. Frustrated that his escape seems to be foiled, Jack continues to intently listen in on what Bart is telling them.

The cops laugh.

Just then the waitress arrives with Jack's coffee. He stops her.

Jack is paying her just as Bart comes up behind him.

Terrified, Jack stops dead in his tracks. Jack slowly turns his head but stops and does not turn completely around.

Scene Five: Bart has come up behind Jack. Jack does not know what to do.

The waitress walks away after serving Jack, and pass in front of Bart. He turns towards her. She was the person he was addressing. As Jack stays frozen, his mouth agape. Meanwhile Bart continues to make passes at the waitress.

She turns to him and he tries to be seductive and flashes a grin.

Jack puts the phone to his ear, then removes the receiver as he punches in a long string of numbers, and nods with his head after each click. When he is through he puts the receiver back to his ear.

As Jack is on his hands and knees looking for the coin, someone calls out to him.

Scene Five: The guard has stopped Jack, and questions him about being familiar. Jack nervously tries to conceal his face. He anxiously tries to remain calm and not give himself away, after getting this far.

Jack is about to answer, then changes his mind. He begins to cough, and hack. The cop makes a face.

Jack grabs and wraps himself around the the cop, and continues to cough and hack, and slobbering, all over him. Jack makes all these weird sounds pretending he is having a hard time talking.

Jack grabs onto the cop, and continues to cough and hack exaggeratedly on him. The cop tries to get away.

Jack continues to pretend to be sick. The cop hurries off. Jack continues to cough, as he pulls out the cop's wallet. It appears as Jack was holding onto the policeman Jack lifted his wallet. Jack pulls out a wad of Euro bills. Still pretending to cough, he looks at the cash, pleased with himself.

He backs away towards the door, looking around to make sure no one is around; he returns to the inn. He enters, continuing to cough. Frau Bleucher is at the desk. He is about to go to the desk but stops, and turns around. After a moment, Jack clears his throat and walks to the desk.

Jack shakes his hand again, and then starts to bend down. However, someone's gloved hand, it looks like there is a crest on, stamps on the wallet. It is a di Mera guard. He picks up the wallet. As Jack looks on in fear.

Jack slowly lowers his head, and remains knelling on the floor, thinking that this time he really has been busted.

Scene Six: Back at the Bavarian inn, the Guard has just picked up the wallet Jack pick pocketed from the Policeman. It appears that this time Jack really has been busted. Jack gets up cautiously, believing it is over. Politely the guard hands Jack the wallet

The guard nods politely and walks off. Jack turns back to talk to Frau Bleucher. Sighing, he looks the wallet.

Jack is getting annoyed, he does not want to hear about the gossip, he wants to get out of the lobby and into a room so he can continue to hide out until he has figured out a way to get home.

Jack is being more and more frustrated by her incessant gabbing. He tries to open his mouth to say something but she keeps gabbing.

Jack walks back into the bar. He sits down at a table, and looks at the locket that he bought Jennifer the day he was attacked, and that he had all the time on the island.

Scene Seven: Jennifer calls home, and Patrick answers. She is checking on everything. He tells her that Chelsea is there. She is glad because she thinks Chelsea is a good influence on Abigail (HA). He tells her she has a message (it is the message Jack left). He offers to play it for her. She says it is okay she will wait until she returns home.

Scene Eight: Jack is hovering in the lobby near the desk, eating some dessert.

Jack eats nervous, he looks over and the di Mera guard who handed him back the wallet is sitting in the corner drinking coffee. Jack nods to him, and the guard nods back.

Jack is walking backwards so as not to face the guard. Just then Billie walks down the stairs, and walks around the desk.

Jack and Billie bump into each other.

They do not notice each other. Jack does not want to be seen so he quickly heads for the restroom. Billie is engrossed in a note pad she is reading, it looks like it has to do about Georgia.

Scene Nine: Billie goes to the bar and sits down.

Jack returns from the bathroom and goes back to the desk, being cautious not to be noticed.

Jack cautiously looks around as he goes into the bar. A woman walks around in the bar, and Jack tries to hid his face. He sits down at a table, and begins twiddling his thumb. Jack thinks back to his phone message to Jennifer.

Scene Ten: Jennifer comes home. She goes by the answering machine, but decides the message can wait.

Scene Eleven: Billie is sitting at the bar drinking coffee, facing a mirror, her back turned to the back of the barroom. She happens to glance at the mirror. She notices something, which shocks her.
