Cesar Crashes the Scorpio Wedding
It's the day of Robert and Anna's wedding, and both are jumpy and nervous all day.  Robert's instincts keep telling him somthing's going to happen to prevent the wedding, despite Sean and Mac trying to calm him down.  Sean teases Robert about not ever seeing Robert this nervous before.   After everyone's at the Shakespearean Gardens, the bridesmaids leave Anna alone, thinking their making her more nervous.  Sean's outside, waiting for the music to cue him to escort Anna up the aisle.  Robert takes his place on the stage, but he keeps giving Tanganeeva and Mac weird looks.  Back in the dressing room, Anna looks in the full length mirror, letting out a deep breath as she adjusting her bonnet.  She stops when she sees the side door open and is shocked when Cesar strolls into the room.  As he walks toward her, she whirls around.....

Cesar: "Hello, Anna."  (he moves closer to her) "Are you quite sure you're marrying the right man?"

the scene fades to commercial, then comes back.....

(Anna places her hand on the dressing table and inches around it, trying to get away from him without causing him to react)  Anna (her voice shaking): "What are you doing her?  I'm marrying Robert today."

Cesar: "We came so close ourselves, do you ever think about that?" (she pulls her hand away before he can touch her)

the scene jumps to Robert and gang.  Robert's getting really nervous. The day before, Tanganeeva had warned the brothers that "a shadow with many faces" was coming ....

Mac (sensing something's wrong with his brother): "Are you alright?"

Robert: "I've felt better."  (he looks at Tanganeeva)  "Anna's in trouble!"  (he takes off, leaving a shocked Mac standing at the altar)

the scene jumps back to Anna and Cesar ....

Anna (quietly): "Don't touch me, okay?"  

Cesar (in an equally soft tone): "Come, sit.  We have so much to talk about."

Anna: "No, we don't have anything to talk about because I love Robert."

Cesar: "There was a time when you said you loved me.  I'm sure you'll change your mind about Robert."  (he puts his hand on her shoulder, she leans further back onto the desk)

Anna: "No, I won't."

Cesar: "You always loved me, Anna."

Anna (raising her voice): "I always loved Robert!"

the scene jumps back to Robert, who goes over to Tanganeeva, and the two exchange worried looks.  The crowds stunned when he takes off running down the aisle, towards the building where Anna's at....  then the scene jumps back to Cesar and Anna.....

Cesar: "Truth is, I know you better than you know yourself." 

(Anna suddenly takes off toward the hallway door, but he blocks her and fends her off while he locks the door.  Robert meanwhile, is racing toward the building and  he tosses his hat.  Anna, breathless, goes back into the dressing room, and Cesar grabs her, causing her dress to fall onto one of her shoulders.)

Anna:  "What do you want!  What do you want from me?"

Cesar: "You know what I want."  (they stare silently at one another)

Outside, Robert rushes up to the door, intercepted by Sean, who thinks he's trying to sneak in to see the bride. 

Sean (smiling): "Hey buddy, what's going on?"

Robert: "I gotta see Anna."

Sean: "No, Robert....."  (the two struggle as Robert tries to push past him)

Robert: "Sean, something's happened to Anna!"  (they continue to struggle towards the door)

Sean (trying to reason with him): "C'mon, c'mon, Robert...." (they reach the door and when they discover it's locked, both immediately become suspcious, pounding on the door and calling Anna's name.  Getting no response, they prepare to break the door down)

Robert and Sean:   "One, two... three!" (they burst through the doors into the room, and seeing Cesar holding Anna, Robert rushes over and decks him, causing Cesar to fall to the ground and Anna to reel backwards, where she hits her back on the wall)

Anna (in pain): "Oh!"  (she puts her hand behind her back, rubbing at the pain)

(Sean grabs Robert from behind, and she jumps in front of him, the two preventing him from attacking Cesar again)

Anna (pleading with Robert): "Stop it!  I don't want any violence on my wedding day!"  (she and Sean continue to sandwich Robert between them, while Cesar slowly gets up, holding a handkerchief to his bleeding lip)

Robert (furious): "Get out of here!"

Cesar (quietly to Anna): "Do you want me to go?"

Anna: "Please get out of here, please." 

Cesar leaves through the side door.  Waiting until he's gone, Robert turns without a word and leaves through the front, heading back to the altar.  Still breathless, Anna continues to put her hand to her back, while a stunned Sean stands guard in case Cesar tries to return.   He doesn't.  However, as the wedding starts, it's interrupted again, this time by Dominique who freaks out and holds a gun on Mac.  After getting Dom out of the way, Sean is finally able to escort Anna down the aisle to remarry her first love, Robert, while a thrilled Robin serves as their maid of honor.
