Robin Goes into Hiding

After helping Duke escape from the prison van, Robert and Sean put the next part of the plan into action- hiding Robin. They arrive at Anna's house with a very large wicker basket. Sam's there guarding Robin and Filomena.

Sam: "Hi, Mr. Scorpio, Mr. Donely." (They enter the house, Sean carrying the basket."

Sean: "Hi Sam, how are you?"

Sam (pointing to the basket): "What is this?"

Robert: "Well, it's from Mexico. Uh, is Robin around?"

Sam: "Yeah, she's getting a bath. Filomena is with her."

Sean: "Uh, we have to see her as soon as we can."

Sam: "Okay. I'll tell them you're here as soon as I can. Is this for Robin?

Robert: "It could be."

Sam: "Okay." (She goes off to get Robin)

Robert: "Uh, do you think that uh Robin will fit in this?"

Sean (taking the lid off):  "Yeah, she'll fit fine. It's a pretty clever way to smuggle her into my penthouse."

Robert: "Listen um, I don't think we should let Sam in on this."

Sean: "Yeah, I agree. The fewer people in the police department who know about this the better we're gonna be."

Robert (smiles): "So we'll protect my little baby WSB stule."

Sean (grins): "You got it buddy. What's next?"

Robert: "Okay. Helping Lavery escape was the first part of the plan. So far so good. But it's important Bert doesn't realize that we're onto him. Now, we can protect Robin but there's going to be times when we can't protect Anna, and that worries me."

Sean: "How's she holding up?"

Robert: "It's getting harder and harder for her to keep up this pretense that she doesn't know that Bert is bent."

The scene fades out, then returns later.
Sam (entering the living room): "A squeaky clean Robin will be out in just two seconds."

Robert: "Good. Uh... look, you can go off duty now, Sam."

Sam: "Well, if Robin needs protecting, I want to help."

Robert: "I know you do, but uh... we have someone else who is going to take over for you now."

Sam (getting her coat): "All right, then I'll just check in with Captain Lewis."

Robert: "Look, I really appreciate what you're doing."

Sam: "Oh, no problem Mr. Scorpio. I really enjoy being with your daughter. Bye bye". (She goes to leave)

Sean: "Take care Sam."

Robert: "See ya soon." (She leaves)

Sean: "Uh Robert, where are Frisco and Felicia?"

Robert (closes the door behind Sam and comes back into the living room): "I gave them the night off. I suggested they go out on the town. I don't want to alert Ramsey to the fact we're a team."

Sean: "You know, I can't believe we are actually worried about what Bert might do to Robin.. or Anna.. or both!" 

Robert: "I gotta believe it. What's more, I got to believe he's going to run scared until he gets to the bottom of what happened to Lavery."

Sean: "He's not going to rest until he finds him. You know that."

Robert (grimly): "I know."

Sean: "I'm just glad that Robin's going to be with me. I think you're going to like the way the secret room turned out in my penthouse."

Robert: "Listen, you're gonna have to keep it light... make a game of it."

Sean: "You can count on it."

Robert: "She's sharp."

Sean:  "I know she's sharp. I'll stay on my toes."

Robert: "How do I thank a friend like you?"

Sean: "You don't." (He laughs softly) "I have a few things to make up for."

Robert (surprised): "What?"

Sean: "Hey, don't argue with me, okay? I think it's true, okay?"

Robert: "Okay. All right, how are you going to handle her?"

Sean: "I think we'll play the ole detective game."

Robert: "Good. She'll like that but listen, understand that she's still pretty upset about some of the things she's learned about Duke."

Sean: "I know. That's a tough one, buddy."

Robin (calling from another room): "Daddy?!"

Robert: "Yeah?" (Robin rushes in with Filomena behind her. He kneels down, puts his arms around her and kisses her as Sean laughs) "Oh, look at this! Boy, you smell good."

Robin: "Yes, mommy said I could use some of her bubble bath." (Both Robert and Sean say "Oh?"

Sean (leaning forward): "That's delicious, hmmmm."

Robin (to Sean): "Hi!"

Sean (grinning): "Hi yourself." (He and Filomena laugh)

Robert (kneels down around and looks at Robin): "Listen. I want you to go up and um pack some clothes."

Robin: "Pack?"

Filomena: "Are we going some place?"

Robert (looks up at Filomena): "Uh well, it's sort of a game, Filomena."

Robin (intrigued):  "What kind of game?"

Robert: "Well, suppose you go pack and then we'll discuss it. Sean here is going to help."

Robin: "Sean? He doesn't know what a little girl packs!"

Sean (moving over to her): "Oh, you'd be surprised what I know about little girls."

Filomena (upset): "But I should help."

Robert (standing up): "Uh, no. I want to talk to you for a moment, Filomena."

Robin (turns around to Sean, who picks her up): "We can do it. Honest."

Sean: "All right." Bye."

Robin: "Let's go."

Sean: "Bye!" (They leave for Robin's bedroom)

Filomena: "Well, you know Sean is a very nice person but he doesn't know what a little girl takes with her."

Robin (firmly):  "He knows exactly what she's gonna need."

Filomena: "What's going on?"

Robert: "I want you to spend a few days over with uh Mary Angela."

Filomena: Why? Nobody's sick there." 

Robert: "Well, it'll be a nice visit then."

Filomena: "Oh... does Anna know about this? Where is she?"

Robert: "Anna's at work. She knows."

Filomena: "Anna is in danger, isn't she?"

Robert: "Anna's in the middle of a rather very difficult investigation."

Filomena: Which means danger." 

Robert: "I'm here, Filomena. Robin and Anna are... will be all right."

Filomena: "If you say that I will believe it. But poor Anna." (She lightly touches Robert's arm) "Please... take care of her, Roberto, eh? And... be kind with her."

Robert (solemnly): "I'll do all of those things."

Filomena: "She was hurt bad by Duke Lavery."

Robert: "I know."

The scene fades out, then returns later at Sean's penthouse. Robert and Sean enter with the basket.
Sean: " Okie dokie. Here we go!" (He puts down the basket and closes the front door quickly. Robert knocks on the lid three times and Robin pops up as Sean removes the lid.)

Robin (looking around in surprise): "I'm in Sean's penthouse!"

Robert (lifting her out of the basket and placing her down next to him): "Right! But you gotta remember one thing. That this is a very special game of cops and robbers, hmm?"

Robin: "I will. I will."

Robert: "What we did is put you in the basket and then we took you outside and put you in mummy's car."

Sean: "Yes, so no one would see. And then we drove to the underground garage in my building, rushed all the way up here without anyone knowing about you."

Robin: "Well, what am I suppose to be doing right now?

Sean: "Now you try to find the secret room I had made especially for you."

Robert: "What we do is run around and knock on walls until we found one that... that's hollow." 

Robin: "Is it down here or is it upstairs?"

Sean: "It's down here."  

Robert (looking around): "Okay."

Robin: "Okay, come on!" (Sean laughs as Robin grabs her dad and yanks him towards the stairs, almost tripping Robert in her excitement. They head to the area at the bottom of the stairs)

Robert: "Okay, knock away." (They start tapping on the walls)

Robin: "Is that one hollow, daddy?"

Robert: "No."

Sean: "Naw, there aren't any hollow walls. I took care of all that." (Robert stops hunting and heads back over to Sean)

Robert: "All right. In the interest of saving time, we give up."

Robin: "Where... no, we don't!"

Robert: "We do."

Sean: "Aw, you'd better give up. You'd better give up. You come this way you two. There's something for me to show you two. Come on, come on!" (Robin rushes after Sean as he heads down the hallway, Robert trailing.) "Come on." (They stop in the hallway and Sean pulls open a secret panel.) "Okay. Here we go." (He punches in some buttons and the door swings open) 

Robert: "Hmmmm."

Robin (as they enter the room): "Wow!" 

Robert: "Ohhh... Look at this."

Robin (looking around at the children's furniture and toys): "Oh my gosh, all this for me and the game?" (Sean laughs)

Sean (to Robert as Robin goes over to play with the toys): "The video uh doubles as a terminal for the WSB computer." (Robin mumbles to herself as she checks out everything)

Robert: "Perfect." (To Robin) "You have a look around there sweetheart." (To Sean as they watch Robin playing) "You know, this is great. She's going to be safe here. I like the idea about the uh computer doubling as a video game for her." (Robin continues talking to herself) "I guess you know I have authority from them to be in Port Charles."

Sean: "I know. That's how I got the computer installed so fast. The entire room is fire proof. I've got surveillance cameras in the halls and the WSB personnel have taken over the security of building. I'll explain to her how to get in and out of this secret room and not to open it unless someone knock three times. I'll also explain to her why she can't use the phone."

Robert: "She's going to love it. Just so long as we continue to treat the whole thing as a game.

Sean (shrugs): "Oh, she has her own little magic castle here, old buddy. So, you tell Anna not to worry. No one's going to get to Robin."

Robert (smiles at Sean then goes over to put his hands on Robin's shoulders and his head on Robin's, looking down at what she's playing with): "What have we got here, huh?" (Robin giggles as Robert fiddles with her toy)

The scene fades out, then returns later. Robert and Sean are talking in the living room.
Robert (looking at his watch): "Anna should be here any minute." 

Sean: "Good." (Robin suddenly rushes in and toward the door to the terrace. Sean jumps up from his chair.) "Uh, Robin honey, what are you doing?

Robin: "Out onto the terrace."

Sean (trying to coax her away with his hand): "Uh.. No, no, wait.. wait a minutes, honey. Come here, come here, come here, come here. That's it" (She goes into his arms and he carries her over to the couch

Robert: "Now listen, Sean's right darling. You can't go out on the terrace and you can't look through the window because you can't be seen."

Sean (sits on the couch with Robin on his knee) "That's right because you can't be seen. Now, that's the first important rule of being a spy.

Robin: "It is?

Sean: "Absolutely. Because if you win this game we're playing you're going to end up being.. a junior WSB agent." (Robert grins briefly)

Robin: "Well, what happens if the agent gets hungry and it's not time for dinner yet? (Robert laughs)

Sean: "Well, the agent turns to another friendly fellow agent like me and asks if there are any milk and cookies and around. And we go out to the kitchen and we find out, don't we?"  (Sean picks her up and they leave the room, Sean singing, to the tune of "The Wizard of Oz," "We're off to see the cookies, the wonderful oatmeal cookies..." and carrying a laughing Robin)
