INT. NORA'S OFFICE - DAY
Nora's in her office just finishing up on something when Bo sticks his head in
with a knock.
BO
Hey Red, you hungry for lunch?
NORA
Oh my gosh!
(looks at her watch)
Is it lunch time already?
BO
Yeah, come on, I'm buying.
NORA
You know I never pass up a free
lunch and that I'd love to but I
can't.
BO
Big lunch date?
NORA
No, I finally got a hold of that
student who reported that rape
at the university. She agreed to
sit down with me for a few
minutes this afternoon.
BO
Oh, ok. Does this mean your skipping
lunch though?
NORA
I'll just grab something on my way
back.
BO
Why don't I pick something up for you?
NORA
Oh no Bo, I'll just -
BO
It's settled. I'll pick something up
and it will be waiting for you when
you get back.
NORA
Thanks.
BO
Do you want me to send a detective
with you?
NORA
Why?
BO
No reason. I just thought-
NORA
You just thought there would be
someone there to look out for me.
BO
No, I -
NORA
I swear Bo Buchanan, you're as bad
as that son of ours.
(pats Bo on the cheek)
I'll be fine. I gotta go.
Nora turns and leaves Bo in her office.
BO
(calling after her)
I'll see you in an hour or so?
NORA
(keeps walking)
Goodbye Bo.
INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY - DAY
Nora is right on time, on her way into the sun room when without warning
Allison rushes passed her nearly knocking her over in the hall, her roommate
CASEY right on her tail.
CASEY
Allison! Allison, wait!
NORA
Allison, wait a minute, I thought we
were going to -
Without a word Allison disappears down the hall.
NORA
Talk.
CASEY
Are you Ms. Buchanan?
NORA
Yes. And you are?
CASEY
Casey. We spoke on the phone.
I'm Allison's roommate.
NORA
Oh yes, it's nice to finally meet
you. Was she ok?
CASEY
I don't know. She's been acting
so strange lately. I had to come in
for a follow-up to little fender
bender I had a week or two ago
and Allison offered to bring me in.
She told me she was going to meet
with you while she waited.
NORA
That was the plan.
CASEY
She seemed fine with it too. I left
her in the sun room when we got
here and everything was fine. I
finished up my paperwork and when
I went back to find her she was all
jumpy and weird again.
From the corner of her eye Nora notices a man in a dark suit making his way out
of the sun room. She can't see his face, he's walking the other direction but
there's something about him. Something that Nora doesn't like.
NORA
Was Allison alone?
CASEY
What?
NORA
When you found her in the sun room,
was she by herself?
CASEY
Yeah, I think so - wait, no, there
was a man in there too but he was
just waiting for someone.
Nora isn't so sure.
CASEY
I should probably go after her.
NORA
Yeah, of course. Could you talk
to her, see if you can't talk her
into sitting down with me? I only
want to help.
CASEY
Sure, no problem.
NORA
Thanks.
Following the same path Allison did Casey exits leaving Nora alone in the hall.
INT. NORA'S OFFICE - DAY
Nora is just finishing lunch with Bo.
BO
And she didn't say anything? Just
ran out of the room and left?
NORA
(nods)
Her roommate went after her and
said she would try to talk to her
for me but - I don't know Bo,
something had her pretty upset.
BO
And you think that maybe someone
spooked her?
NORA
I don't know. I mean, I didn't see
the guys face or anything, it's just
a feeling, you know? I just really
get the feeling that someone is doing
their best to scare these kids so they
won't talk.
Nora takes her last bite just as her cell phone rings.
NORA
Nora Buchanan.
INT. LLANVIEW UNIVERSITY LOBBY - DAY
SWITCHING
CASEY
Ms. Buchanan, I know that you're
very busy and I'm really sorry for
bugging you but, well, I just thought
you may want to know.
NORA
Know what?
CASEY
Allison's leaving town.
NORA
She's what? What about school?
CASEY
She says she's dropping out.
NORA
Why?
CASEY
I don't know. Look, Ms. Buchanan
I know that you really wanted to
talk to her and I know that she really
needs your help but she's in our dorm
room packing as we speak and I'm
afraid if you don't get over here quick
you won't have a chance later.
NORA
Ok Casey, just give me your dorm number.
(scribbling on a post-it)
Uh huh. Ok. I'm on my way.
Hanging up the phone Nora starts to gather her things.
BO
What was that all about?
NORA
I have to go.
BO
Whoa, wait, where are you going?
NORA
I don't have time to explain.
(on her way out the door)
Thanks for lunch.
Making her way down the hall Nora leaves Bo alone in her office.
INT. LLANVIEW UNIVERSITY DORM ROOM - DAY
Allison is inside doing her best to squeeze the rest of her things into her suit case
when there's a knock at the door. Startled Allison looks at the door then decides
to ignore it and gathers her things more quickly. Without warning and
accompanied by another knock the door opens slowly.
NORA
(peaking her head in)
Allison?
ALLISON
What are you doing here?
NORA
Look, I'm sorry to barge in on you
like this but I really need to talk to
you.
ALLISON
I don't have time to talk.
NORA
Not even just a minute?
ALLISON
No. I have to go, I have a train to
catch.
NORA
A train? Are you going somewhere?
ALLISON
Yeah, I'm going to visit a friend for
a while.
NORA
What about school?
ALLISON
School's going to have to wait.
(picking up her bags)
Look, I'm sorry but I really do
have to go.
NORA
Allison please, I really do need to
talk to you. There are a lot of
really bad things happening on
this campus right now and I really
need your help to get to the bottom
of them.
ALLISON
I want to help you, I do, but I can't.
NORA
Is it because you're afraid? Honey
I know that someone is threatening
people and I know that it's scary but
we have ways of helping you.
For a moment Allison thinks about what Nora said then the fear kicks in again
and she heads for the door.
ALLISON
I'm sorry but I can't help you.
Desperate for answers Nora reaches out her head and gently takes Allison's arm.
NORA
Please Allison.
ALLISON
(loosing her patients)
I told you I have to go. Go talk to
Erika Ardeth if you want answers.
NORA
Wait a minute. Does Erika know
what's going on?
ALLISON
She should, it's her boyfriend that's
selling most of the drugs.
With that Allison turns and hurries away from Nora who calls after her.
NORA
Allison wait! Allison!
INT. NORA'S OFFICE - NIGHT
Nora is sitting at her desk scribbling an outline on a notepad on her desk.
NORA
So we're back to Erika. Who
is this boyfriend of yours Miss
Ardeth?
Nora taps her pen on the top of the desk as she eyes her notes.
BO
Working a little late tonight, aren't
we Counselor?
NORA
Bo! You scared me.
BO
Sorry. What are you still doing
here?
NORA
Nothing. Matthew's at the movies
with Stevie and his mom so I thought
I'd get a little work done. What about
you? Why aren't you home with
Gabrielle?
BO
Just catching up on a little work
myself. I was just on my way
to the vending machine to grab
a little something bad for me,
you up for a little break? My treat.
NORA
Sure.
INT. POLICE STATION HALLWAY - NIGHT
Bo has his junk food in hand and is busy punching quarters into the machine
for Nora. As soon as he's finished Nora reaches up to make her selection.
BO
Are you sure about that?
NORA
About what?
BO
Your selection. You know that
once you push that button it's a
done deal.
Nora rolls her eyes and begins to push the button.
BO
(stopping her)
So you better make sure it's what
you want. No going back.
Laughing at Bo's humor Nora presses the button and waits for her treat to fall.
The metal coil twists, pushing the candy forward but then, at the last second the
slick plastic wrapping refuses to break free and leaves the food dangling just
centimeters from the drop tray of the machine.
NORA
Gosh darn it.
BO
I told you you should rethink your
choice.
NORA
Very funny.
(kicking the machine)
This is the third time this week!
BO
Relax honey, we'll get it.
Stepping up to the plate Bo takes the machine between his hands and gives it
a good shake. Nothing.
NORA
No. Here, let me get it.
Crouching down Nora presses the metal door up and reaches her hand inside.
BO
Nora, I don't think that's such a
good idea.
Stretching her arm up further Nora rolls her eyes.
NORA
Don't be ridiculous Bo, I've just
about got it. Now if I -
The look on Nora's face changes as she stops dead in her tracks. Looking up at
Bo she begins to tug her arm, her look growing more serious by the second.
NORA
Oh no.
Closing her eyes in disbelief Nora presses her forehead to the cold glass.
BO
What is it?
NORA
(covering)
Nothing. Nothing I just -
Nora does her best to subtly free to arm but it's no use.
NORA
My arm's stuck.
BO
What?
NORA
My arm's stuck.
An amused look spreads across Bo's face and he starts to giggle.
NORA
It isn't funny Bo. It's stuck.
Trying his best to get serious Bo crouches down beside her.
BO
Let me see... Yup. It's stuck alright.
Smile on his face again Bo can't help but laugh.
BO
(turning to go)
Well, goodnight Red. I'll see ya in
the morning.
NORA
This isn't funny Bo, get down here
and help me.
BO
Is there something specific you want
me to bring you for breakfast because-
NORA
Bo Buchanan get down here and help
me right now!
Crouching down beside her Bo leans in close.
BO
You're still as fun as ever to tease Red.
Nora shoots him a look that tells him it's time to get serious.
BO
Ok, let's see here.
Bo inspects the situation and does his best to help Nora pull her arm free.
NORA
Ow, ow, ow! That isn't working.
Giving up Bo slumps down next to Nora.
BO
Nope. That's not going to do it. I guess
there's only one thing we can do.
NORA
What?
BO
We're going to have to take the arm.
Unable to help himself Bo starts laughing as Nora slugs him with her free hand.
NORA
I'm glad you are finding so much humor
in all of this.
BO
Oh, I am.
(a beat)
I do have an idea though.
(standing)
Sit tight. I'll be right back.
NORA
Wait a minute, where are you going?
BO
I think I know how we can get you
out and still keep you in one piece.
Just stay right there and I'll be right
back.
NORA
I'm not going anywhere.
INT. POLICE STATION HALLWAY - NIGHT
Nora is still sitting on the floor, arm in the machine, tapping her fingers on the
glass impatiently with her free hand when Bo returns, a paper cup in hand.
NORA
Finally. What, were you getting a drink?
BO
Well I was thirsty after all that tugging.
(off Nora's look)
I'm kidding Red, this is going to get
you out.
NORA
What is it?
BO
Liquid soap.
Sitting down next to Nora Bo rolls up his sleeves.
BO
Now, just hold still and let me work here.
Leaning in to see Bo's face is right next to Nora's as he begins to pour the soap
into the machine and onto her arm.
BO
Just a little bit here and a little bit-
Feeling her breath on his skin Bo becomes short of his own breath and can't help
but turn and look at her. She is so beautiful it's all he can do to turn back to
the soap.
BO
Here.
Sliding the soap up and down her arm with his hand Bo slides even closer so he
can reach further inside the machine. Nora breathes deep taking the scent of him
in. He still smells just like she remembered him. Yep, there's no question, his
smell is still the same and it still drives her wild.
BO
Now, I think if we just twist it gently
that soap should makes it's way down
in and you should be free in no time.
Twisting Nora's arm gently Bo looks up at her face, still so close to his, to make
sure that she's ok.
BO
Does that hurt?
Nora eyes are locked on his as she shakes her head "No."
BO
(eyes still locked on Nora's)
Good.
Bo got his answer but he still can't take his eyes off of Nora. Unable to help
himself he begins to slowly lean in toward her, their lips drawing together. Both
of their hearts are pounding faster now as their breathing becomes one. Taking
her face in his hand that isn't in the machine Bo closes his eyes and brushes his
lips to Nora's. It feels so good to be here with him like this but suddenly Nora
comes to her senses and realizes what's happening. Desperate to get away she
gives her arm a strong and forceful tug. All of the soap did the trick and it
comes sliding out without a problem.
NORA
Bo! Look! You did it!
BO
(a little disappointed)
Yeah, it looks like I did.
Nora carries on as if nothing happened as she standing up, wiping her soapy arm
on the side of her jacket.
NORA
I don't know if the suit can be
salvaged but at least I got to
keep my arm.
BO
(smiles)
That you did.
NORA
(looking at her watch)
Gosh, it's getting late. I think I'm
going to call it a night.
BO
Yeah, me too.
NORA
You still up to visiting Matthew's
school tomorrow?
BO
Can't wait.
NORA
Ok. Thanks. Goodnight Bo.
BO
Goodnight Red.
Pausing for just a moment the two of them look at one another. There is
something there and they both know it. But it terrifies Nora and she knows
she has to do her best avoid it at all costs. Without another word she smiles
at Bo and heads down the hall.
Nora's in her office just finishing up on something when Bo sticks his head in
with a knock.
BO
Hey Red, you hungry for lunch?

gives her arm a strong and forceful tug. All of the soap did the trick and it
comes sliding out without a problem.
NORA
Bo! Look! You did it!
BO
(a little disappointed)
Yeah, it looks like I did.
Nora carries on as if nothing happened as she standing up, wiping her soapy arm
on the side of her jacket.
NORA
I don't know if the suit can be
salvaged but at least I got to
keep my arm.
BO
(smiles)
That you did.
NORA
(looking at her watch)
Gosh, it's getting late. I think I'm
going to call it a night.
BO
Yeah, me too.
NORA
You still up to visiting Matthew's
school tomorrow?
BO
Can't wait.
NORA
Ok. Thanks. Goodnight Bo.
BO
Goodnight Red.
Pausing for just a moment the two of them look at one another. There is
something there and they both know it. But it terrifies Nora and she knows
she has to do her best avoid it at all costs. Without another word she smiles
at Bo and heads down the hall.
