[Lexa tries to pull her arm from Peter's grip but can't.]

Lexa: Mister, let go. I need to help my sister.

[Lexa keeps trying to pull her arm from Peter's grip]

Lexa: Come on. How can you be so strong?

[Lexa looks at the door and is dead silent]

Lexa: Oh my God, sis.

[Lexa looks back at Peter]

Lexa: Just let go, Mister. I really need to help Lanys.

[In that exact instant, Peter opens his eyes and whispers]

Peter: (whispering) ...Lanys...

Lexa: (surprised) ...you're awake.

[Peter looks Lexa]

Peter: Lexa?

Lexa: (surprised) you remember me?

Jackie: (smiling) I love it when you look at me that way.

[Lanys slowly stands up]
