Searching for Jessica

June 13, 2003

Jessica: Don't shoot, ok, please!

Antonio: Get out of the way, Jessica!

Jessica: No, no, no, no!

Viki: Jessica, let him go. he'll take you with him.

Bo: Hang on, Jess! We're coming!

Viki: You got to let him go!

Antonio: Jessica!

Viki: Let him go! He'll take you with him!

Viki: Jessica! My god! Jessica! Jessie! Help her! Get her out of there!

*~*

Viki: Jessica! Jessica, where are you?

Bo: Don't even think about it.

Viki: Answer me!

Bo: You don't do anything crazy.

Viki: Jessie, answer me! Jessie!

Bo: Logan! I want you to have one of your guys on both sides of the river, work your way down. Call water rescue and make sure there's a medevac standing by.

Logan: Divers are on their way.

Bo: Good, go! Go!

Viki: They're coming! Jessie!

Bo: Antonio!

*~*

Bo: What were you thinking about, going in that river? You're lucky to still be alive right now.

Viki: Did you find her? Did you find her?

Antonio: It's dark and the current's running very fast. as soon as I warm up, I'm going back in.

Bo: No, you're not! We've got rescue teams on both sides of the river. they've got the right gear. they know what they're doing. they don't need you going off half-cocked, making their job harder. We've got two people in the river right now!

Cristian: Hey, what's going on?

Bo: I said no civilians! Now, secure this area!

Antonio: What the hell are you doing here?

Cristian: I went by the station looking for you. They told me two people had gone in the river.

Viki: No, it was Mitch and Jessica.

Cristian: My God.

Bo: We're going to get her. We'll find her. All right, where's the medevac unit?

Cristian: You ok?

Antonio: I'm fine. soon as I catch my breath, I'm going back in to find her.

*~*

[Phone rings]

Walker: Hello?

Bo: It's Bo Buchanan. I've got some news about your brother.

Walker: Have you found him?

Bo: We did, but he evaded arrest. he jumped off a bridge into the Llantano river. It's not likely that he would have survived.

Walker: Is there any chance at all?

Bo: We've got rescue teams on both sides of the river.

Walker: All right, I'm coming down there to help.

Bo: No. Look, we've got the whole area cordoned off. There's nothing you could do down here anyway, so why don't you stay put, and then I'll keep you up to speed.

Walker: At least now he won't be able to hurt anyone else.

Bo: He already has. Jessica Buchanan went into the river with him.

Antonio: I'm going down there to help the rescue team.

Cristian: Oh, no, you're not.

Bo: You're going to stay right here.

Antonio: Jessica is down there somewhere. I'm not just going to stand up here, waiting for her body to wash up!

Bo: Or I will have you hauled out of here.

Viki: Bo! Bo, come here! I think I see something! Look

*~*

Viki: Yeah, it's Jessie's.

Bo: Are you sure?

Viki: Yes, I'm absolutely sure, but where is she? Why can't anybody find her?

Bo: This thing's moving too fast.

Viki: She's got to be all right. She has to be all right.

Bo: Viki, listen, let me take you home.

Viki: No! I'm not going anywhere!

Bo: There's nothing that you can do here. look, I promise, I'll call you the minute we know anything.

Viki: No. My daughter is out there someplace, and I'm going to be standing right here waiting when she comes out of the water.

Antonio: Commissioner, you have to let me go back in. we found her hat. she may be caught on the rocks. She may be unconscious.

Bo: There are divers in there right now. They have safety lines.

Antonio: So I'll suit up.

Bo: No, you're not trained for it, Antonio! Plus, you're hurt.

Antonio: It doesn't matter. It's just a few cuts. I'll be fine.

Bo: And you're too emotionally involved.

Cristian: Listen to him.

Antonio: You stay out of this.

Bo: No, no, Antonio, you stay out of this, or I swear I will have you locked up.

*~*

Bo: Believe me, Viki, you're a lot better off here. I called Joey. He's on his way.

Viki: Bo, I don't know what I'm going to do if we don't find her.

Bo: We're doing everything we can.

Viki: Dorian? are you all right? Why are you here?

Dorian: No, I'm fine. I was so relieved to hear that you had been rescued, but then I heard about Jessica. Is she ok?

Viki: Bo's going to find her. She's going to be just fine.

Dorian: Is there any sign yet of her or of Mitch?

Bo: We found Jess' hat. River's running pretty fast this time of year.

Dorian: Well, I'll believe Mitch is dead when I see his body.

Viki: Oh, my god. Don't say that. Jessie could be dead. Oh, my God!
