S6 E4 "The Prodigal Brother" Haven Rewrites

After Danielle’s baptism Mavis makes a plan to steel the baby just as Nathan learns he has a little brother.

Previously on Haven – People of Haven have mysterious troubles, abilities that cause havoc, suffering, even death. Mavis, a witch and her coven troubled people centuries ago. But one girl, Mavis’ daughter helped protect the troubled over generations, staying young as she kept the troubles at bay when she entered the mysterious barn for 27 years at a time, only coming out to recharge with love and always helping the troubled. Coming to Haven as someone new each time-a kind of supernatural witnesses protection program she carries the memories of the person she pretended and in fact believes she is and is therefore protected from her mother who was trapped in a prison of her own making. In this century her daughter appeared as Audrey Parker, an FBI Agent. As Audrey she met a young Haven police detective named Nathan. Nathan’s trouble was that he was unable to feel. But somehow he could feel Audrey—she’s immune to the troubles. They slowly fell in love. Learning she could end the troubles by killing someone she loved she killed Nathan. But instead of dying permanently Nathan came back to life but with the ability to heal the troubles. Nathan and Audrey married and Audrey has just recently given birth to Danielle, their daughter, who the town realizes will be able to cure the troubles as well as be immune to them. But they must keep her away from Mavis, who has managed to get free of her prison and form a new coven in Haven, because Mavis will use her to hold the town hostage under the terror of the troubles. They must do this while the town, the Reverend, her smuggling husband, and Audrey’s father deal with the ever present troubles of the people of Haven.

“The Prodigal Brother”

Teaser

On a gorgeous morning in Haven outside the dock restaurant the Gull, Duke, the owner, his hair in a small ponytail as it normally is, says goodbye to Abe, his brother. Abe climbing into his car loaded down with everything he owns says, “thank Nathan for healing me.”

Leaning against the car, Duke sighs, “If I have to.” He’s never really liked Nathan finding him boring and a pain in his backside…and the feeling is mutual. But their mutual dislike for each other isn’t what it seems. They’re actually very close, like brothers.

          Duke arriving back at the Cape Rouge, Duke’s boat at the dock, heads inside to see his wife Sam getting ready in a nice summer dress, “Don’t forget about the Baptism.” She tells Duke. He nods and heads into the bedroom.

         

At Audrey and Nathan’s place, Audrey and Nathan carefully dress little baby Danielle in a white dress. Both look to her lovingly especially Nathan who makes baby noises. Audrey holds her three months old daughter with care.

         

From hill above the town, Mavis, with a scowl on her face watches the town seeing the church busting with people gathering for the baptism. She spots Nathan and Audrey among them, Audrey holding baby Danielle.

Also standing above the town, Kat and Zara, fellow witches, are behind Mavis, “We cannot let her be raised by them, or the troubles will be gone forever.” Mavis announces.

          “Are you sure she can heal the troubles?” Zara asks, finding it hard to believe.

          “Daniel’s sure so it must be true.” Mavis says, watching Daniel, her husband below, hugs their daughter Audrey.

          “If she was raise by us, we’d have the advantage.” Kat says sinisterly.

Without looking back to Kat Mavis says, “And so it will be.”

James heads towards Nathan and Audrey, who holds baby Danielle but he’s stopped by Vince and Dave, “How do you feel about being a big brother.”

James looks to them shocked, “What?”

The brothers, Vince and Dave, who always talk over each other and fight about the accuracy of the other’s information or how it’s expressed talk about the past. Audrey is James' mother, even though she had the personality of Sarah back when he was born he has the same genetics since Nathan is also his father (due to a time travel incident).

Feeling lost in the conversation James says nothing letting it all sink in. He looks down at the gift he brought not so happy with it now. As he looks down Audrey approaches him, “I’m remember your baptism.” She tells James. Audrey has recently unlocked all the memories of her previous lives, allowing her to live a complete life, as herself instead of the identities given to her.

James looks to her surprised asking, “Really?”

“It was here in this church, right before I took you to Colorado.” Audrey says recalling having to give him up when the barn came to pick her up again. Turning to James she asks him to sit up with them, since he’s family. Happily James agrees.

Inside the church Daniel performs the Baptism as Sam and Dwight take on the vows of godparents. Audrey and Nathan look on lovingly.

Meanwhile back in Haven, at the police station Stan is the only cop on duty as a man comes in looking haggard and tired. (Played by Fredrick Weller know for “In Plain Sight”). He walks with a stern look on his face, his entire presence carries a dark cloud in the air. Picking up a paperclip off the desk and playing with it he asks for Detective Warnous.

Casually Stan answers that he’s at the church this morning, having his baby girl baptized.

The stern man sighs, “He’s having more luck than me.” He says jamming the paperclip into is hand, his hand bleeds but he does not react.

Stan, unaware asks what his business with detective Warnous is saying, “Maybe I can help you.”

“It’s a family matter.” The man says sternly.

Stan cheerfully believing this man is family and invited to the baptism says, “Oh you’re family. They’re having the reception at the house. I’ll give you the address.”

At Nathan and Audrey’s place in the backyard they are having a reception for the baptism. Daniel, Audrey’s father is there helping with the drinks. James is there with Lyla, his tattoo reception girlfriend, tattoos down her arms. Dwight’s there with Susie, who could easily be that kind librarian or the sweet elementary teacher everyone adored. She carries herself with such warmth and grace.

Audrey walks around greeting guests as Sam holds baby Danielle. Duke comes up to her. Susie to Sam and Duke says, “Perhaps I should hold her, you wouldn’t want to get any ideas.”

Duke asks Sam in a straight forwards way, “Are you getting any ideas?”

“I’ve got a mind to get a full night of sleep tonight because Nathan and Audrey won’t.”

Duke looks disappointed.

“You want to hold her?” Sam asks Susie, ready to hand her over to Susie.

“Yes.” Susie says and gladly takes her.

Audrey looks on vigilantly staying close.

That’s when the man from the station walks in, the black cloud still hanging in the air around him, metaphorically. He asks Vince who’s comparing the food with his brother Dave bickering about it whether it’s good and where it came from, where he can find Nathan Warnous.

Vince and Dave look around and they all spot him coming out of the house with a bag of ice.

Daniel takes the ice from Nathan telling him to enjoy his family. The mysterious man then approaches saying, “I’m sorry to intrude in on a family event. I’m Torstein, your brother.” Nathan stares.

Audrey watches Nathan talking to the mysterious man and with concern in her eyes tells Susie and Dwight, who looks to baby Danielle lovingly that she’ll be right back.

Torstein explains, “Max Hanson was my father.” Nathan sighs staring—his father was a psychopathic killer, Nathan took the name Warnous from his stepfather. He just stands there unsure what to say. But as Audrey approaches Nathan presses her hand away making sure she doesn’t touch Torstein…for if he can’t feel like his father and Nathan himself couldn’t and Torstein feels her there’s no telling what might happen.

          Nathan stumbles with his words as he stands next to Audrey his newly discovered brother Torstein in front of him, “This is Parker…Audrey Parker my wife.” He finally gets out. As Nathan holds her hands strangely she gives him a strange look and pulls them from him. He takes her hands again saying, “This is Torstein Hanson, my brother.”

          Audrey stops fighting holding her hand back.

Act I

          Torstein and Nathan sit inside talking as Audrey watches through the glass.

          Dave and Vince come over to Audrey, “Why aren’t you in there with Nathan?” Dave asks suspect.

          “Nathan thought it was best if I stay out here.”

          “Because if you touch him, he’ll know you’re different?” Vince says with an air of feeling he’s right about the whole matter.

          “How do you know about it?” Audrey asks.

          “Oh, we can read lips.” Dave says.

          Watching Nathan through the window she asks, “What are they saying?”

          Dave and Vince watching through the glass provide Audrey a little information, “Something about Carnival…mother…treated horribly.” Dave scoff, “Of course she was Max Hanson was a bully.”

          Vince continues reading lips, “Tomorrow then…”

          They’re meeting tomorrow.

          The next day at the station Audrey and Nathan go in, Audrey has baby Danielle strapped to her. “We really need to find someone to leave her with.” Audrey tells Nathan. He’s handed the background check he asked for on Torstein. Nathan tells the curious Audrey that it reveals what he thought, “Torstein was telling the truth.”

Audrey asks, “Does he have your father’s trouble?”

The cop who handed Nathan the report says, “Oh there’s a lot of medical data on him apparently he’s been undergoing some medical testing for the past few years, his wife left him, he lost his job, everything.”

          “You should talk to him.” Audrey suggests.

          “But how do we tell him and what?” Nathan says aloud.

          Just then Susie walks in with a paper bag lunch. And the phone rings, “Dwight answers. He burst from his office, “We have an emergency at the Gull.” Dwight says and directs Audrey and Nathan to head there.

          With Audrey unable to go because of baby Danielle, Nathan volunteers to go without Audrey.

          Susie jumps at the chance saying, “I’ll watch her.”

          Audrey agrees quickly taking her out of the harness and taking it off. She hands her the baby bag.

          Dwight looks to Susie, who now holds the baby, “What are you doing here?”

          “You forgot your lunch.” Susie says and hands him the bag.

          The cops eye him and he tells them, “Get back to work.” Not bothered,

          Susie smiles and takes baby Danielle outside.

          At the Gull Audrey and Nathan show up to find it was Daniel’s apartment above the Gull where the disturbance took place. Daniel, Audrey’s father is gone, and there’s blood. Audrey is distressed, more than she’s ever been.

          “He’s my father.” She tells Nathan, “He risked his life for me more times than I can count.” She thinks back to running through the forest, he scoops her into his arms.

At the Gull the cops reveals they don’t know who took him, there were no witnesses, strangely because it was the middle of the day. The bar heard it downstairs.

          Audrey is clear, “It must have been Mavis.” She’s annoyed and runs down the stairs upset.

          Nathan follows her worried, “Audrey, Audrey, what are you going to do?”

          Duke, standing by the side of the door says, “if we didn’t see anything they’ve got to be underground. You could start there.”

          Nathan glares at Duke, annoyed he’s enabling Audrey.

          Daniel wakes up in a cave, strung up he’s held by Mavis. She kisses him but he refuses to kiss her back. Pacing around him she asks, “Do you remember our fighting as a married couple.”

          “Of course I do.” He says and thinks back to some bitter fights where she seems to hold everything against him.

          “You held everything against me.”

          “Yes…you were my husband you were supposed to love and protect me.” Behind him Mavis smiles viciously.

Daniel shakes his head, “that’s not what you wanted. You abhor love, can’t be around it.”

“No, what I like is control and love can’t be controlled. You’re going to do something for me.”

“I’m not doing anything for you.” Daniel says.

“Oh, yes you are. Why do you think that I picked you to be the father of my child?”

“To hurt me. I was helping the troubled. You wanted to get me where it hurt the most. You played on my weakness for women you turned it against me.”

“Yes, I gave you such grief and it was all just to see you squirm.” she tells him blatantly, “And boy did you squirm always so good and Nobel, doing the right thing. I certainly broke you down.”

          “You won’t see me squirm now.”

          “You squirmed a bit with that kiss.”

          “Perhaps next time I won’t.”

          “You are going to help me procure something I want.”

          “I won’t do anything for you.” Daniel insists.

          “Oh but you will or I will hurt baby Danielle.” Mavis says with a cackle in her voice.

Act II

          Audrey and Nathan back at the station look at maps of Haven’s cave network. Dwight explains there used to be gem mining in Haven implying there’s a lot of caves.

          Nathan knows it could be tricky but suggests they narrow things down to areas near the Gull, where Daniel was taken.

          Hesitant Dwight suggests it’s possible that their caves aren’t even on this map, Haven does have some natural cave structures.

          Nathan gives a look to Dwight telling him, that’s not something to bring up right now. Audrey is tense staring at the map. She looks up from it, “Oh this is useless.” She says and begins to pace across the room.

          “It doesn’t make sense, why would they take him?” Dwight questions.

          Audrey looks over to him as if curious urging him with a look to tell her what he means. It’s as if underneath she knows he’s right.

          Dwight explains, “They’ve had plenty of opportunity to take him, why now. Why would they take him now, they didn’t want to kill him but take him. There’s something more going on.”

          Audrey steps back over to Dwight and Nathan, “If we could figure it out then we could stop them.” Audrey says eagerly wanting to go after Daniel, not taking the hint that they need to slow down the search to figure things out.

          Nathan sighs, “But what are they doing?”

          James rushes into the station huffing out of breath.

          Audrey annoyed asks, “Where were you?”

         James looks up confused, as he continues to huff. He’s clearly unaware of the situation.

          “Daniel is missing.” Dwight relays to him.

          “That explains why he didn’t meet me. We have a big problem, a trouble. I need you.” James declares.

          Over at the new resort people are screaming running away as James, Nathan, Dwight, and Audrey walk up coming from the truck. An ambulance waits nearby and tells James, “We can’t do anything until…”

          James jumps into the conversation, holding up his hand says, “Yeah, yeah, we’re working on it.”

          The hotel manager is nervously shaking, “I don’t know what to do.” The manager says and drops his walkie. Fumbling for it he leans down to pick it up from the ground, “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

          Dwight leans down and helps the man telling him, “We’ll take care of it.” a sense of calm in his voice that should under normal circumstances calm the man.

          “I’ve never seen anything like it.” The man says shaken up beyond comforting.

          Audrey, Nathan, James, and Dwight walk inside the hotel slowly and hesitantly. There at the front desk is the concierge, he’s stuck in the wall. “Help me.” He begs pale and week.

          “I wasn’t sure whether I should get him out.” James says.

          Audrey looks at the front desk, the man is clearly stuck in it she orders James to go get the ambulance people, clearly disappointed in them for waiting outside.

          While Audrey is looking at the man stuck in the wall people come around curiously Dwight orders Nathan to escort them out. Nathan goes without being told.

          Audrey seeing the man’s legs on the other side of the half wall at the desk sees them move and asks the man to hold her hand and squeeze as hard as he can. He does as she instructs and she tells him, “good. You’re sealed in pretty tight, you should be alright for now.” Audrey says.

          Panicking the man says, “How do you know that, I’m stuck in a wall.”

          “I was a nurse once.” Audrey says. She turns to face him holding his hand, “what were you thinking right before this happened? What was happening?”

          “I was being yelled at by Mr. Dicky.” He says in a way that confirms he doesn’t like the man much. “He kept telling me to go there and do this without letting me finish one task so I was rushing as quick as I could.”

          “How did you feel at the time?”

          “I don’t know how that matters?” The man trapped in the wall asks.

          Caressing his hand she assures him, “Trust me it does.”

Dwight watches.

          “I felt invisible and just wanted to get away.” He says panting thinking back. Just then his body turns opaque and Audrey tugs on him as if prepared. He falls out of the wall and on her. With Dwight’s help rolling him over Audrey checks him out just as Nathan and James comes in with the ambulance attendants.

          Nathan moves to heal him about ready to put his hands on the man’s cheeks when Audrey interrupts saying, “He might need it to repair the damage.”

          “What happened?” The man says holding his stomach in pain as he’s lifted up onto the gurney and the ambulance attendants head out to the ambulance.

          Accompanying him Audrey tells him, holding his hand, “You’re troubled. You can walk through walls. But you have to control it. Just remember how you were feeling and you’ll find yourself able to use the ability again.” Audrey looks to James, “Can you go with him to the hospital.”

          James nods, “Yeah.” And heads into the back of the ambulance with him.

          Audrey looks to Nathan, “Now we need to find Daniel, figure out what’s going on.”

          “How?” Nathan asks.

          “Back at his place, he must have been onto something they didn’t want us to know about or something…” Just then her phone rings.

          Audrey picks it up and gets flustered “Oh, yeah, right we’ll be right back to the station to pick her up. I’m so sorry.”

          It’s Susie on the other end at the station crying in the background, “No, it’s fine we’ve been having fun but I went through all pumped milk and I think she’s hungry.”

          Back at the station Audrey goes over to Susie and takes Danielle from her who is crying, “Oh baby.” Audrey says feeling terrible as she picks her up. She turns to Nathan, “I need to feed her.”

          Nathan nods, “should I head over?”

          Audrey turns back, “The car seat is in the truck.”

          Nathan nods.

          Dwight offers, “We’ll head over in my truck. Meet you.”

          Audrey nods and heads into the office.

          “I’ve got to head over to Dairy today.” Susie announces as she gets up as if she’s explaining why she can’t watch Danielle anymore.

          “Thank you.” Nathan says.

          “It was fun.” Susie says and leaves gracefully her purse on her shoulder.

          In Dwight’s truck Dwight tells Nathan, “I’m worried Audrey is too close to this case.”

          Before he can even get the whole thing out Nathan shaking his head says, “Don’t take Audrey off this case. You know she’d just investigate anyway.”

          “Yeah…” Dwight sighs accepting that fact reluctantly, “but if she stays on you need to real her in.” Dwight’s insistent.

          “She’ll be fine.” Nathan says.

          “She’ll take risks.” Dwight wants it addressed.

          “She always takes risks.” Nathan casually says stating it as a fact.

          “But more so when it’s family.” Dwight says, “She needs to stay cool. I need you to do that for her or I’m taking her off. I’d rather her be mad at me than face the witches without a clear head.”

          Nathan sighs, “Yeah. Alright.”

          In the office Audrey breast feeds Danielle, buckles Danielle in her seat and heads over with the truck.

Audrey and Nathan look at Daniel’s place, Danielle sleeping in her car seat placed inside the apartment.

Sam at the church sits in her office reading some material. She goes over to her assistant and asks about the Sunday bulletin when a brick flies through the window and hits her awkwardly against her body. A note is attached to the brick and Sam lays on the ground unconscious.

ACT III

          Duke rushes to Sam in the hospital. Entering her room he sees her. She sits up in bed as he goes to her, “I’m fine.” She says taking his hand affectionately, “I’m just bruised.”

          “You’re sure you didn’t see who threw the brick?” Nathan asks Sam.

          Sam shakes her head, “No,”

Audrey, with baby Danielle asleep strapped in her seat, leans against the counter in the room and says, “She didn’t need to. The handwriting is my mother’s. The note attached is from her.” Audrey leaves upset and Nathan follows.

Duke nuzzles Sam putting his forehead against hers in grieved.

“I’m alright.” She assures him and gives him a peck on the lips. 

Out in the hall Nathan walks after Audrey, “If it’s from her we can’t abide by it.” Nathan says.

          “To hell we can’t. If all my mother wants is to see me then I’ll see her. She’s never been known to lie, that’s not her style.”

          “But there’s something else going on, we just don’t know what it is.” Nathan pleads with Audrey to be cautious.

          “And searching Daniel’s place left us empty. This is our only shot.”

          Torstein comes up the hall, “Can I help?” He asks. Seeing the confusion on Nathan’s and Audrey’s face as to how and why he is there that he’s caught them off guard he reveals, “The station told me you were here. One thing after another in this town, ha? I could help. I was a US Marshall if someone is missing…”

Audrey shakes her head, “No, we’ve got it.”

“Audrey you’re acting rash.” Nathan says upset, trying to be so politically correct the word rash comes out and sounds awkward on his lips.

“Rash?” Audrey says upset, “This is FBI procedure. You remember I was an FBI agent. I can handle myself in this. You know that.” She storms off upset and the baby wakes beginning to cry. She heads towards the bathroom screaming at Nathan, “I’m going to change her.” In a tone that indicates it would be a bad idea to follow her.

Nathan lets out a heavy sigh as he watches the door that Audrey went through.

Torstein stands there, tension in the air he continues saying, “I mean it when I said I could help.”

Nathan shakes his head, “Thanks, I think we’re okay. I’ll keep that in mind though.”

Torstein says assured, “You probably already saw my file…”

“Yeah.” Nathan nods, “I did. I want to talk to you…it’s just now’s not a really great time.”

“Yeah…I see that…” there’s an awkward pause between them as Torstein gets the courage, “I know I can’t help with official police work but…” Just then Audrey comes out of the bathroom and Nathan runs after her. Torstein runs after him, “I could watch her, baby Danielle. She is my niece.” He says looking to her affectionately.

Audrey looks to him, “I saw your file. You were an exemplary Marshall. They didn’t’ make enough accommodations for your condition.”

Torstein breaths deeply relieved to hear someone say that.

Audrey asks him to, “Meet us at the house in say an hour.”

“Okay.” Torstein nods grateful and heads out. As he heads out he looks back to Audrey and Nathan overhearing Nathan, irritated with Audrey, says, “You can’t actually be doing this.”

 Audrey looks around as people are staring and signals to Nathan gesturing with her head to follow him outside. Torstein leaves as they do.

Outside in the car Nathan tells her, “She’s crazy Audrey you know that.”

“Yes, I know how to protect myself.”

“Do you? Last time you saw her you froze.”

“Last time we saw her I was able to get us out. I’m stronger now. I have Danielle to think about.”

“I am thinking about Danielle, what if something happens to you.”

“Don’t ask me to choose between my father and my daughter. I shouldn’t have to choose.” Audrey says desperately. “She just wants to talk, she’s always wanted to get her claws in me but she won’t not ever and I know that because I have you and this…” she holds up the ring he gave her. “She can’t touch me if I have this.”

Nathan sighs giving into her.

“The meets tonight at the old glass factory. I’ll get Danielle settled with Torstein, unless you want to watch her.”

“No, I mean…you need me there with you.”

Nathan sighs heavily as he starts the truck to head home.

That night Audrey, at the house explains to Torstein the bottle situation and diapers. He confidently says he can handle it. Audrey kisses Danielle on the head and Nathan does as well taking a little longer than Audrey does, not wanting to leave.

At the glass factory Audrey walks in alone, leaving Nathan at the entrance looking out. Kat stands with Daniel, “Audrey” Daniel says, “You shouldn’t have come.”

“Dad? I wasn’t going to just leave you.” She turns to Kat, “Nathan is right outside.”

“That’s fair, but make sure he stays there or daddy dearest gets it.” Kat chuckles sinisterly as he pushes a knife against Daniel’s throat.

Daniel bravely looks Kat in the eyes and says, “You need help Kat.”

Pulling the knife from his throat Kat turns to Audrey, “He reminds me of my own father, so wonderful and loving towards Sam but pressing me always to do this and do that. Get help Kat, maybe your sister can help you.”

“Where’s my mother?” Audrey demands to know.

“She’s coming.” Kat says, “Right now you have to listen to me!” She yells.

“Alright, we’re listening.” Audrey says calmly.

“Sam was always the golden child, she could never do any wrong, even when she did. You’re always supposed to love a child, even when they do bad things, when they don’t meet your standards. You have to love them.” He looks to Daniel, “Would you have loved her if she’d joined Mavis, if from the beginning she’d been a witch.”

Audrey sighs heavily as Kat continues, “Is that preventing--”

          Daniel suddenly utters, “Yes” and Kat turns to him surprised, “Yes.” Daniel repeats. “I still would have loved her. Always, no matter what she does.” He turns to Audrey mournful, giving her permission to leave him but knowing how hard it will be for her.

          Audrey looks to her father touched, tears start to stream down her face. She knows he’s giving her permission to leave him if need be, to let him die if need be…if she needs to do it to protect herself.

         

On the other side of the building Mavis waits as a man comes up in a hood, looking to what he’s holding she says, “Ah…thank you.” He’s holding baby Danielle, which Mavis carefully takes. The man is Torstein. He’s betrayed Nathan and Audrey, “Now you promised me a cure.” Torstein says looking to Mavis who’s cooing around the baby. She looks to him, “Ah yes, I know where you can find the cure. Nathan Warnous has it.”

          Torstein is upset utters, “Nathan” in shock knowing after this betrayal he won’t be able to go back.

          “He had it all along.” Mavis says chuckling.

          “I can’t go back there after this.” Torstein says challenging Mavis, “You said they were incompetent parents, that I would be rescuing her. You lied to me.”

          “It wasn’t a lie…you saw them, they are both so caught up in their jobs they would at some point have forgot about her.”

          “I’m taking her back.” Torstein says approaching Mavis, but Mavis holding baby Danielle says “You’ll do no such thing, won’t he baby Danielle.” She is joined by Jeremy who holds up his hands causing Torstein to float in mid-air. Torstein is shocked as he’s unable to move forward and Mavis says. “Welcome to Haven.” As she walks out. And Jeremy crunching over glass walks over to Torstein and hits him square in the head.

Kat with Daniel and Audrey hears Mavis’s approach and says, “Good she’s here.” When Mavis enters with baby Danielle Audrey and Daniel are alarmed, “She’s going to be so powerful when she grows up.” Mavis says showing her desire to have that power for herself in the lust in her eyes. Audrey pulls out her gun and shoots.

Nathan outside, hearing the gunshot noises rushes in.

But Mavis, Kat, and Jeremy run away from the site, the bullets are all on the floor, one in Daniel’s shoulder, another in Audrey’s leg. Nathan bursting inside asks, “What happened?”

Audrey looks up to Nathan, “They have her, they have Danielle.”

ACT IV

          At the glass factory police cars are lined up. The whole building is taped up.

Stan at Nathan’s house reports there was no struggle to Nathan over the phone who stands by the glass factory.

The cops find Torstein and yell to Nathan and Audrey there’s someone there. They head inside.

Inside as Torstein gets up from the ground and sees Nathan and Audrey upset he begins to plead, “She promised me a cure I can’t live like this…never being able to feel anything. My wife left me I couldn’t keep my job!”

Nathan furious punches him.

But Torstein frustrated says, “I can’t feel it.” blood in his teeth. Nathan stands over him unsympathetic saying, “She’s a baby and you gave her to a sociopath!”

“She said she was her grandmother and you were neglectful but the cops were protecting you…”

Audrey fuming reaches out and grabs Torstein’s nose. He cries out in pain.

“Audrey, let him go.” Daniel says and pulls Torstein from her, “That won’t solve anything.”

Torstein looks at Audrey shocked, “How come I can feel you but not him.”

“We know where she is, Audrey.” Nathan says.

Torstein continues to plead, “She promised me a cure, which you have.” He begs looking to Nathan pleading with him, “Please, I can’t live this way.”

Nathan turns away from him annoyed with him and walks away towards the exit.

Torstein pleads, “Please, please.” He says falling over glass.

Audrey gets in Nathan’s way telling him, “Just heal him, Nathan. Then he’ll leave us alone.”

Nathan looks to Audrey and lets out a frustrated sigh. Her face pleading reveals she pities Torstein holding no ill-will, even though she’s not happy with him. Nathan gathers himself and turns back around to Torstein he rushes towards him like he’s going to take him by the throat. Torstein startles back as Nathan takes hold of him by the cheeks and holding him up heals him. This takes love to perform so Nathan struggles to do it.

Torstein surprised can feel the glass in his legs digging into his knees is thrilled.

Nathan punches him hard.

Torstein nods, “I deserve that” he says. Grateful he says, “Thank you.”

Nathan nods and rushes outside.

Audrey looks to Torstein and anger on her face says, “I don’t want to see you in Haven again.”

Torstein nods.

Outside as Audrey and Nathan come out of the factory Dwight comes up with some maps “we’re blocking off all the roads.” He tells them.

“We’ll fine her.” Daniel says trying to reassure Audrey but not sounding sure.

“Yeah.” She pulls out her phone.

Daniel looks confused.

“We had her chipped, just in case.” Nathan says.

Audrey looks at her phone, “She’s in district eight.” Audrey says looking to the board that lays out the districts of the woods.

“Let’s get her.” Duke says coming up behind them with his shot gun.

Torstein comes out of the glass factory and watches them as they point to the board and gear up.

Daniel stops them, “We’re going up against Mavis we need a better plan than burst in.”

“I want my daughter.” Audrey demands.

“And we want her back safely.” Daniel pressing caution. “We both would benefit from some attention” He says referring to their wounds, his shoulder and her leg. “Believe me I know how hard this is. But you have to take care of yourself. She won’t hurt her. She needs her.”

“I’ll go.” James says, “I’m immune from her magic, I’ll get her back no matter what I have to do.” He cocks his gun and puts it in his holster.

Audrey shakes her head, “You can’t go by yourself.”

“You need us.” Nathan remarks and turns to Audrey, “And you need to get looked at.”

“James and I will check out the area Danielle’s in then report back.” Dwight says.

Audrey frustrated relents.

         

At the hospital as Audrey and Daniel sit on beds in a room to themselves young interns attend to the gunshot wound in Audrey’s leg and Daniel’s shoulder, digging out the bullets.

          Daniel talks to Audrey sternly, “She came after me because she knew you would be distracted if I was missing.”

          “You’re my father, I was worried.” Audrey says, emotional angst in her voice.

          Daniel clenching as the doctor takes out the bullet says, “It was an obvious trap and you didn’t notice.”

Audrey frustrated says, “I thought we could trust him.”

Daniel confronts Audrey, “Either way you can’t be concerned about me.” Daniel says clenching his teeth as a young intern digs out the bullet.

          “What am I supposed to do ignore it?” Audrey asks annoyed.

          “You need to put Danielle first.”

          “I left her with someone I thought I could trust.” Audrey cries emotionally shaken.

          “This isn’t helping.” Sam says walking in. Nathan, Duke, and Dwight are with them.

“Mavis won’t want to give her up easily.” Dwight acknowledges.

         

Dwight and James come to a cabin in the wood, heavily fortified. “It’s highly defensible.” He tells James. James sighs, knowing this is going to be difficult. Dwight instructs James to stay make sure no one leaves. Dwight heads back the way they came.

At the hospital, down the hall, the man who was stuck in the front desk at the hotel is being released from the hospital with a clean bill of health. Flirting with one of the nurses he’s making her invisible with him, their hands intertwined but opaque he’s able to move her arm with his.

          She giggles, “I have to get back to work.” She says.

He nods and hands his discharge papers to the secretary. Suddenly he hears Audrey and Nathan’s voices;

“Audrey and I have power over them, if we go in together.” Nathan says.

“And I have the ring.” Audrey reminds them.

          In the hospital room where Daniel and Audrey are being attended to, the shot in Daniel’s shoulder and Audrey’s leg, “They know all this,” Sam says. “Won’t they be prepared for an attack?”

“We can’t win against them.” Daniel acknowledges.

          “I’ll die before they raise my daughter.” Audrey says.

          “You might die and they’ll raise your daughter anyway. I’d rather not have that.” Daniel relays.

          “We need to get in there without being seen.” Daniel says.

          Just then Dwight enters, “That may be hard. They’re in a cabin set with traps.”

          “I could help.” Matthew, the man from the hotel says walking through the hospital wall into the room.

          Duke nods, “That’s something.”

Act V

          At the edge of the forest Audrey and Nathan come up to the cabin, hiding behind a hill they watch the place, “That’s where she is.” Nathan says looking to the app on Audrey’s phone. They watch as a squirrel wonders towards the cabin – SNAP – the jaws of a trap close on him. Dwight and Nathan jump, they didn’t see it.

          Audrey and Daniel instruct the man who can walk through walls, dressed up as a hiker to get in and get out with her.

          He nods understanding from their tone he could be in great danger if he doesn’t.

She hands him a bud to put in his ear, “We’ll be able to hear you the whole time.” She says.

          Dwight tells him, “there are traps so be invisible the whole time.”

“And don’t forget to hold her head” Audrey reminds him fidgeting.

Matthew nods and goes off into the cabin, turning invisible. The shape of him moves with the light.

Nathan comes to Audrey and puts his hand on her shoulders. They watch together.

On the other side of a cabin, on a hill above them is Kat, she watches saying, “No you don’t.” She puts her hand to her head and closing her eyes tries to reach out to Zara with her mind when from behind her she’s knocked out. Torstein stands there with a crow bar. He watches down below not seeing the invisible man, “That must be where you are.”

Audrey and Nathan are behind the hill in a hug.

Torstein picks up a bag of supplies. He pulls out some rope, anchors it, and continues to climb down the hill.

Inside the cabin Mavis is watching the child as she sleeps in a crib. She warns Jeremy not to wake her.

Just then the Matthew, invisible, enters the room staying very still he waits till Mavis turns to leave.

Zara walks over and says, “We’ll have the jet ready by morning.”

“I can’t believe we’re leaving Haven.” Jeremy says listening from the kitchen.

‘We’ll still get to trouble elsewhere and we’ll be back with her.” Mavis says referring to Danielle.

“Can we put tattoos on people with the name “Haven”?” Zara asks, “Traveling around all the time I’d like to see them again, what they become when we trouble them.”

With Mavis turned away from Danielle towards Zara and Jeremy Matthew, invisible, turns to pick up Danielle and run but his hands go right through her. He is unable to make her invisible with him like he did the nurse. He panics walking through the wall into the bathroom he whispering, “I can’t get her. She won’t become invisible.”

Audrey on the other side of the ear bud by the hill they are hiding behind says, “She’s immune. You have to get her out visible.”

Inside the bathroom of the cabin Matthew is terrified, “I can’t do that. Mavis is in their watching her.”

Audrey frustrated says, “I’ll be right there.” Taking off the head set she turns to move but Dwight stops, “Audrey, you can’t.” Daniel behind him is ready to forcefully stop his daughter if need be.

Just then Outside Torstein is on the opposite side of the cabin as Audrey and Nathan. From his pack he throws some balls towards the house, dozens of traps SNAP.

Audrey held back by Dwight hears the snapping and James reports from his post up on a hill, “It’s Torstein.” He’s going towards the house.

Torstein runs through after the balls towards the cabin, safely making it to the front door.

Inside the bathroom the Matthew hears Mavis explain, “They’re here.” Hearing people exit the room he walks back through the wall into the room where Mavis and Danielle are. Mavis looks over baby Danielle, “We’re going on a little trip.”

Torstein run through the hallway as Zara and Jeremy come down the hall. He smacks Jeremy before he has time to react and hits Zara in the back with his elbow. She falls to the ground.

Panicking at the sound of a struggle the Matthew, invisible, becomes visible. Shocked Mavis turns to confront him and by impulse Matthew reaches out into Mavis’ heart and his hand goes through her as if she’s a wall, he tugs at her heart. She struggles holding her chest. The baby awakens and begins to cry.

Torstein bursts in and sees what Matthew is doing but just for a second because he turns to Torstein who holds a gun and he lifts his hands up, “Don’t shoot.” He pleads with Torstein.

Seeing Mavis struggle holding her chest in pain, Torstein motions to Matthew, “Keep doing what you were.”

“I don’t’ know how.” He says and grabs the baby.

Mavis still clutching her chest, reaches out for the Matthew. But he backs away and Torstein smacks her in the head knocking her out.

He tells the invisible man, “Let’s go.”

They run past Mavis, Zara and Jeremy in the hall, and out the front door.

From his post above James reports “They have her, Torstein and Matthew have her.”

Audrey relaxes as does Dwight holding her back. Nathan and Danielle are also relieved.

At the Gull Torstein holds baby Danielle as Audrey and Nathan come up in the truck and get out hurriedly. Audrey takes baby Danielle from Torstein and kisses her. She looks up to Torstein grateful saying, “Thank you.”

“It was my fault.” Torstein says as Audrey takes Danielle to the truck.

Nathan adds, “You didn’t have to come back but you did. Thank you.”

As Audrey buckles Danielle into her seat in the truck Nathan in a serious manner turns to Torstein, “That doesn’t mean I forgive you or that we’re brothers.”

Torstein nods understanding that Nathan is still very upset with him.

“Well I’m available if you or this town ever needs help.”

Nathan nods unsure he’ll call on him but grateful for the offer, “Okay.” Nathan turns and joins his family in the truck.

Duke from inside the Gull says, “Getting Nathan’s forgiveness doesn’t come easy….I should know.”

Torstein, “What did you do?”

“I made his trouble surface. He couldn’t feel because of me.”

Torstein nods, understanding that, that’s a big deal.

Duke adds, “What you did was worse…a whole lot worse.”

“Has he forgiven you?”

Duke says, “Nathan…” he sighs unsure how to answer.

Sam comes up from behind him, “He’s getting there. They’re friends that rag on each other all the time, like brothers. But I don’t know if he’s forgiven Duke.” She looks down sorrowfully. Then looks up to Torstein, “Don’t give up. If you really want a relationship with Nathan, don’t give up.”

“Should I stick around?”

“No.” Duke says adamantly, “Not just because Nathan hates you but because this town is crazy…this was a slow day.”

“The troubles.” Torstein says under his breath understanding.

Duke nods, “You should probably come in for a drink though.”

Torstein nods chuckling as he enters the Gull.

          Back at Audrey and Nathan’s house with Danielle’s crib in their bedroom they watch her sleep – she was completely unaware of the danger she was in.

Tears begin to stream down Audrey’s cheeks.

          “She’s alright.” Nathan says.

          “We got lucky.” Audrey barks.

          “We would have gotten her back one way or another.” Nathan says determined, “You know that.” He says wiping away her tears.

          “That’s not why I’m crying.” Audrey gets up uncomfortable talking about this she fidgets. “My mom wasn’t wrong. We do neglect her. I forgot about her today when we left her with Susie. I got so wrapped up in a case-”

          Nathan takes her in his arms, “That’s what makes you a great detective, you help people. The troubled. You’re not a bad mother this is just new.”

          “Not so new. James…” she says relaying that she’s been a new mother before when she was Sarah. “I left him with Dave and Vince going off to deal with the troubled.”

          “But you knew they would care for him. We just need to find someone for Danielle. You didn’t have to worry about the witches then, this is new.”

          She hugs him. In the hug she tells him, “I’m sorry I got so hormonal at the hospital.”

          Nathan rubbing her back as he embraces her says, “You’re body has gone through a lot in the last few months, it’s okay. I’m always here.”

          Audrey hugs him tighter grateful. She kisses him deeply.
