Ghosts (13-3)

Jake: Okay, that leaves with the four of us.
Akash: ‘Fore that (looks around, then turns to Jake), where’s Lydia?

(shot changes to a bar where the four of them are seated)

Akash: She WHAT!?
Jake: And she took the kids with her too.

(Akash buries his face on his palms)

Akash: (lifts up his face) Jake….I…don’t know what to say…..that explains why Lydia’s not with you now.
Jake: (takes a sip of his beer) Quite.
Akash: Anything I can do for you?
Jake: Josh?

(Joshua takes out a file from his coat, takes out the content and hands it over to Akash)

Joshua: Heard you’re a master hacker.
Akash: (Looks at the file) I do pretty well I guess.(flips through the pages, with pauses). Paul Grayson, never heard of him. (looks at Jake). What’s this got to do with me?
Jake: I need you to hack into Nav-Intel, CIA or NSA, find any details of either him or the name Daniel Carver.
Akash: Daniel Carver. I suppose you have a file of him under that coat of yours.
Joshua: If I do we won’t be here talking to you.
Akash: What do you mean?
Joshua: Daniel and Paul are the same person.
Akash: Same person?
Jake: Paul was killed six years ago in Tehran. He resurfaced back as Daniel recently, or maybe even way back.
Akash: And what he’s got to do……
Jake: Daniel was the guy who was with Lydia the day she was in London, when she took the kids away. Josh lifted up his prints, cross ref’ed it with CIA files, turned up nothing. He checked with MI6 files and the name Paul came up. Two days ago Jamie called me and she mentioned the name Daniel, the guy who was in London that day.
Mick: In conclusion, Paul and Daniel are the same guy.
Akash: And you think there’s something up with this guy?
Mick: Pretty much. He handled most of Lydia’s assignment, without her knowing it. After Lyd and Jake were married, her mission centered mostly somewhere away from Jake, all handled by him, that was until he was "killed".
Akash: (sighs) Nav-Intel…CIA…NSA…this is a very big pool we’re talking about…
Jake: And you’re the only guy I’ve known that have successfully got in and out of there without been detected.
Akash: Three years ago. God knows what boobytrap and labyrinth they got now. Not to mention the honeypots and firewalls they have set up ever since I got in there.
Joshua: SO you’re saying you’re not up for it?
Akash: (looks at Joshua) Not up for it? (sniggers) Man, I’m BORN for it!

Jake: Glad you made it.

(Jake and Akash hugs each other)

Akash: Anytime for you. Hey, you’ve met Sophie right?
Jake: (Looks at Sophie) Oh, yeah, Sophie. Hi, how are you?

(Jake greets her with a kiss on cheek.)

Akash: We’re engaged now.
Jake: (astonished look) Wow, congratulations! (looks at Audrey)

(Jake took a glance at Joshua and Mick)

Mick: (lip synch) Engaged?

(Jake shrugs)

Jake: Oh, That’s Joshua, Audrey’s brother, and Mick, friend of ours.
Akash: Oh, hi (shakes hand with Joshua and Mick. Mick elbows Joshua). This is my fiancee, Sophie (introduces Sophie to Mick and Joshua, Joshua and Mick shakes hand with Sophie)

Jake: (to Akash) need some time with you mate, just us guys.
Akash: No sweat. (to Sophie). You mind waiting for me?
Sophie: Sure. I can hang around with Audrey while waiting for you.

(Joshua laughs quietly, Audrey stares at him)

Joshua: (whispering to Mick) I’d pay any amount to see that catfight.
Mick: Meeoow!

Jake: Audrey?
Audrey: (looks at Jake). Oh yeah, sure. Sophie and I (turns to Sophie) will have our women’s thing.

(Audrey motions to Sophie and the two of them walks away)

Akash: You think they’ll be all right?
Jake: (turns to Akash) You tell me, I didn’t know you were engaged!
Akash: Well, now you do.

Ghosts (13-1)

(Side angle shot of Akash looking at front, then taking spoonfulls of tiramisu. Shot changes to Audrey who was in front of him, locking eyes with Akash. Shot changes to both of them looking at each other)

Akash: I thought Jake was in trouble?
Audrey: He is.
Akash: Then why you’re alone?
Audrey: Just wanted to give you a head start…
Akash: Of?
Audrey: My brother’s here too.

(Akash stopped eating. He puts the spoon down. Then he bursted out a laughter)

Akash: Jesus Audrey! You’re trying to scare me with that? (closes up to Audrey). Come on, tell me, what’s the real reason? Look me in the eyes and tell me Audrey (motions his eyes with the spoon). Right here…look at it…

(Audrey turns away)

Akash: You got to look me in the eyes to give it more conviction. It works that way you know.

(Audrey turns to Akash)

Audrey: It doesn’t matter anymore! You and I, we’re done!
Akash: With you coming around seeing me before anyone else it sure doesn’t look like it’s going that way….
Audrey: If you’re thinking that I have a speck of a feeling left for you then you are so bloody wrong….
Akash: Am I?
Audrey: Yes you are!
Akash: Then, you won’t mind me(Looks at Audrey’s back, shot changes to a wide shot of Audrey, with someone approaching her back), introducing you….Sophie…

(Akash motions for the girl who was approaching, Audrey turns around)

Akash: Sophie, my fiancee. Sophie, meet Audrey.

(Audrey gave an astonishing stare at Sophie and then turns to Akash)

Akash: It’s rude to stare you know. (smiles)

(Audrey looks back at Sophie, and smiled reluctantly)

Audrey: Hi.

(Sophie gave a pleasent smile)

Sophie: Nice to meet you. Akash told me a lot about you.
Audrey: Did he? (looks back at Akash)
Sophie: Oh, nothing bad actually.
Audrey: Better not be.
Sophie: And I’m sorry for what happened last time between…..
Audrey: Sophie, right?

(Sophie nods)

Audrey: It’s okay. It’s really okay….
Sophie: Really?
Audrey: Yes, really. In fact, I guess it’s time to congratulate you both. Glad both of you….found…each other.
Akash: Where’s Jake?

Ghosts (13)

(Shot of Joshua approaching Jake and Mick and sitting down on a table in a cafeteria of an airport.)

Joshua: Here mate, got you and Mick tickets to Jersey. Three hours from now.
Jake: Thanks Josh.
Mick: You just wanna keep an eye on your sister….
Joshua: Well, part of a reason.
Jake: He’s not the playboy that you think of. He’s a nice bloke. Wrong place, wrong time, that’s all.
Joshua: It’s not him I’m worried about. It’s Audrey. You know her, all jumpy when it comes to her ex lovers. Four years ago when she broke up with that guy from Dublin she went nanners when he called her up….one year! (makes a gesture) after they broke up, I mean can you believe that! 
Jake: Well, I don’t know about Akash, but they…were pretty serious. She was afraid to tell you about him, let alone the break up.
Mick: Exactly how you knew him?
Jake: Five years ago when I was still with SAS I was working with MI6 and CIA on some critical data recovery in Cuba. He was the codebreaker. It was a funny thing, we saved each others lives. We got a long pretty well since then.
Mick: Where did Audrey fitted in?
Jake: He was in London for quite some time after that. I met him once again with Audrey on a lunch appointment. They hit it off straight away. Five minutes later I was sitting alone in another table.
Joshua: Sounds cheesy.
Jake: Something about both of them that really made them quite the match, even until now. I don’t know how to describe it. They had their high and lows, but they were really a pair. Until he found this other girl in his apartment.
Joshua: Other girl?
Jake: Well, it’s not what you think it is. She was a stranger, found her in some sort of trouble, about to be raped in an alley scenario. He saved her, the girl was bruised so he took her home.
Joshua: and let me guess, Audrey walks in when they were together doing something that didn’t actually mean anything at all, she got the wrong impression, shouts at him, walks out and they never talk ever since…..right?
Jake: Yeah, something like that.
Joshua: Same Audrey I knew.
Mick: Well, she is very sensitive, that’s for sure, but that story takes the cake. WOnder what kinda drama they are having right now……

Jamie: Auntie Tanya, I want to talk to daddy…..
Tanya: Jamie, you know if your mommy finds out you’ll be in big trouble (whispers to herself) *I’ll be in big trouble*.
Jamie: But Auntie, please….please….

(Albert is making his puppy face to Tanya)

Tanya: Albert (smiles) You’re making the face……

(Albert continues looking at Tanya)

Tanya: Don’t let the tickle bug get to you….(approaches Albert)
Albert: No, not the tickle bug…

(Tanya catches Albert and tickles him, Albert laughs hard. Jamie looks at them and laughs)

Tanya: (stops) Okay, but promise me you won’t tell your mommy, okay?

(Jamie and Albert nods. Tanya reaches for the phone in the kitchen)

Jamie and Albert: YAY!

(Tanya reaches for her phone book in the kitchen drawer, flicks it, then starts to dial a number)

Tanya: Jake? It’s me, Tanya….

Ghosts (12-01)

Tanya: How’s the pie, is it good?

(Jamie and Albert nods excitedly, and continues eating)

Jamie: Nothing beats daddy’s pie.
Tanya: (laughs) He was the one who taught me.
Jamie: Really?
Tanya: Yeah, remember Christmas at mommy’s place two years ago? He taught me there.
Albert: Auntie Tanya?
Tanya: You want more?
Albert: No. I just want to know, when we can see daddy again?
Tanya: (sighs) I don’t know dear. I wish I knew.
Albert: He said he will come. DO you know when?
Tanya: I don’t know when….wait, he told you? When?

(Jamie makes the ‘face’ to Albert)

Tanya: Mommy let you speak to Daddy?

(the two of them keeps quiet)

Tanya: Jamie?

(Jamie looks down)

Jamie: Please don’t tell mommy. We missed him.
Tanya: (holds Jamie’s hand) I know you do, but you can’t go around doing that without mommy knowing it.
Albert: We’re sorry.
Tanya: You better tell your mommy before she finds out when she gets her phone bill.
Jamie: It wasn’t mommy’s phone, it was Uncle Daniel’s.
Tanya: Uncle Daniel?
Jamie: Yeah, at his…
Albert: uh-oh.

(Tanya looks suspiciously at Albert)

Tanya: What is it this time?

(Jamie looks at ALbert and then at Tanya)

Jamie: AUntie, do you love us?
Tanya: Of course I do! COme here you two (She hugs then)
Jamie: (still hugging) Can you keep a secret, because mommy don’t want you to know it.
Tanya: You can trust me dear.
Jamie: Promise?
Tanya: (looks at Jamie and Albert, holds up her right hand) I promise.
Jamie: We stayed at Uncle Daniel’s house.
Albert: That’s where we called him from.
Tanya: Did mommy tell you why you’re staying there?

(Jamie and ALbert shakes their head)

Tanya: Does your daddy knows about this?
Albert: yeah, we told him.
