B1/300/100 - Frank still in handcuffs, trying to get them off. There's a clinking of metal.

REED'S BEDROOM - DAY

FRANK
Goddamn it, Chantal ... When I get out of these things...

Frank is wrestling with the cuffs, we hear the door opening...

FRANK (CONT)
Shit!

CHANTAL
How pathetic, Hawke Industries' head of security can't get the handcuffs off, even with the key in his pocket. Here.....let an expert help you....

She laughs, releasing him.

FRANK (straightening his clothes)
That wasn't funny... this time you went too...

The door opens, change in tone.

FRANK (CONT)
Good afternoon sir. Just doing a last security check around the house.

REED
Make sure security is air tight downstairs. We don't want reporters looking in the windows.

FRANK
Yes, sir.

REED
Chantal, get me the itinerary for the Florida and Mid West events.

CHANTAL
Right away, sir. Also the President's called twice.

REED
No doubt. Let me know when Chloe arrives.

Reed exits, door closes.

CHANTAL (tone change)
And you Franky boy seem to be in need of additional training. I'll see you in my office.

C1/220/100 - Zack and Lara arrive in the midst of an argument

FOYER - DAY - DAY 1 ZACK and LARA, carrying OVERNIGHT BAGS, enter the FOYER and head toward the elevator. ZACHARY HAWKE is Reed's only son and he's a little too tightly wrapped for his own good. LARA, his wife, is in her late twenties, fresh-faced and normally optimistic. But it's clear that this couple has arrived in the midst of an argument.

LARA
Why do you continue to do this to yourself...

ZACK
Look, we're not going into this again. I told you how important this weekend is to me. We're staying here and that's it.

Preoccupied, ZACK goes to the elevator and punches the button. It doesn't respond.

ZACK (turns and sighs, trying)
Look...Lara, please just let me deal with my father--

FRANK'S VOICE (over the intercom)
Mr. Hawke. Can I help you?

ZACK's attention shifts back to the elevator.

ZACK
What the hell is with the elevator, Frank?

FRANK'S VOICE (cordial in an androgynous way)
I'm sorry Mr. Hawke, your father's orders.

LARA
Come on Honey, you can see your father later.

ZACK (agitated)
Look, Lara, will you please just go upstairs and unpack.

He turns back to the elevator. LARA walks off.

ZACK
Open up, Frank.

FRANK'S VOICE
I'm afraid Mr. Hawke doesn't want to be disturbed at the moment. He asked me to have all appointments scheduled through Chantal.

ZACK
Schedule an appointment? That son of a bitch!...Laura, wait up.

He storms off.

C1/250/100 - Frank upset with Chantal.

CHANTAL'S ROOM

FRANK (angry)
Look Chantal, fun is fun but work is dif....

CHANTAL (interrupting)
--Shut up! Don't you dare talk to me that way.

FRANK (feebly protesting)
Look I only meant--

CHANTAL (noise of leather swish)
IS THAT CLEAR!

FRANK (gasping)
Yes........

CHANTAL (noise of leather swish)
Who's in charge?

FRANK
You are.

CHANTAL
Good.....now

Sound of a buzzer, it's Zack and Lara by the elevator.

CHANTAL Shit, Answer that!

FRANK
Yes, ma'am.... (tone change) Mr. Hawke. Can I help you?

ZACK (over intercom)
What the hell is with the elevator, Frank?

FRANK
I'm, sorry Mr. Hawke, your father's orders.

LARA
Come on Honey, you can see your father later.

ZACK
Look, Lara, will you please just go upstairs and unpack....Open up, Frank.

FRANK
I'm afraid Mr. Hawke doesn't want to be disturbed at the moment. He asked me to have all appointments scheduled through Chantal.

ZACK
Schedule an appointment? That son of a bitch!...Laura, wait up.

CHANTAL
That's a good boy! Now get out. I'll call you when I need you.

FRANK
Yes ma'am.

C1/290/100 - Margaret yells at caterer & tries on hats

MARGARET'S OFFICE AND BEDROOM - DAY - DAY 1

Margaret in Her Office

MARGARET enters with TWO HAT BOXES and places them on the BED. She goes to the SPEAKER PHONE on her DESK and hits the button.

FRANK (VO)
Yes?

MARGARET (into phone, tersely)
Get me the caterer.

She begins opening the boxes to reveal a collection of HATS. Trying one on, she models it in a full-length mirror--doesn't like it. MONSIEUR HENRI's voice is heard over the speaker phone.

MONSIEUR HENRI (VO)
Hello? Henri's Catering.

MARGARET changes hats.

MARGARET
Ah, Monsieur Henri. Correct me if I'm wrong...but did I not order the premium select petite Beluga in Waterford crystal?

MONSIEUR HENRI (VO)
Oh, no, you must have a misunderstanding. I'm sorry but you clearly said that you must have--

MARGARET (breaks him off)
No. There is no misunderstanding. You misunderstood.

She changes hats. It's a cute little pink pillbox number with black trim. Something Jackie Kennedy would have worn thirty years ago. The PRICE TAG DANGLES IN FRONT OF HER FACE. With her ANTIQUE SHEARS, she snips off the tag.

MONSIEUR HENRI (VO)
Uh, uh, uh, but of course madame... uh we'll be there right away--

MARGARET (breaks him off)
Get me the petite caviar...or you and your family will be back on the boat to that rat infested country where I found you. Get me the petite caviar...or you and your family will be back on the boat to that rat infested country where I first had the misfortune to find you.

MONSIEUR HENRI (VO)
We'll get you the caviar there right away. Maybe perhaps we could add in a few crepes for you or sometimes we could do a little quiche or maybe a very nice pate, something--

She punches the speaker phone button, then admires herself in the mirror. This one appeals to her.

MARGARET
Yes. I think this will do nicely for the inauguration in January.

Now she practices her curtsies with the awkward bend of an over-the-hill ballerina and exits.

C1/320/100 - Reed on phone with political advisor.

GRANT
Yes, Mr. Hawke. Davis has organized rallies in all the main cities.

REED
They have to look spontaneous, as if it's a grass roots movement.

GRANT
Consider it done sir.(beat) May I ask... Is this family gathering going to be a problem?

REED (interrupting)
All part of the plan. Good for the image. I'll give you further instructions Sunday night. Keep me posted.

GRANT
Yes sir.

The phone is hung up.
