Carly: Michael, I need you to take a second and count to 10.

Michael: Stop talking down to me.

Carly: You don’t have to let the anger control you.

Michael: If you don't want to see me angry, then back the hell off.

Jason: Did you find anything?

Sam: No, not yet, but I did leave a message --

Jason: Sonny told me to back off Claudia.

Sam: He's protecting her?

Jason: You know, she's the reason that Michael got shot. So I don't care what Sonny says or what I have to do -- Claudia's not getting away with this.

Olivia: You know that all I have to do is tell Jason that Claudia's responsible for Michael getting shot, and she'll be dead within the hour.

Jax: You're not going to do that.

Olivia: Yeah? Try me.

Jax: The only reason you know the truth is because of me. I will handle this. Now, you let Dante do his job. Once he shuts down the Corinthos organization, Sonny will go to prison, and Claudia will be right beside him.

Johnny: Tell me what you did, Claudia. Tell me what you did to Olivia!

Claudia: Stop it! What is the matter with you, John?

Johnny: You gave her trouble at the Metro Court, and a few hours later, she broke up with me. Tell me what you did!

Claudia: Nothing. Nothing. You're so much better off.

Johnny: No, I am not. And neither are you. And let me tell you -- I promise you, you are going to pay for this dearly.

Sam: If we can't come up with some sort of physical evidence that ties Claudia to Dr. Devlin, I'm afraid we're not going to be able to prove that she was involved at all.

Jason: Okay. Just answer me this question. Do you think that Claudia is innocent?

Sam: Ohh. I don't know, okay? She's dangerous, clearly, and I think she's a little bit insane like her father, and I don't think that she has a conscience, but I do believe that she could have easily been involved in Michael's shooting. But it doesn't make a difference what I think or not. Without any proof, we can't do anything. So I'm going to take a page from your playbook here and just reserve absolutely no judgment.

Jason: I'm just -- I'm too close to this. I can't even be objective. Every time I think about Michael getting shot, and I see that bitch Claudia walking around pretending to feel sympathy, it's a --

[Clatters]

Jason: I think it's a joke. I've got to stop her.

Jax: No one has ever gotten deeper into the Corinthos organization than your son. He's about to bring them all down. Claudia's so entrenched in Sonny's business, she's going to go to prison, too.

Olivia: And if she goes, Johnny goes, too.

Jax: Well, not necessarily. But if it happens, Johnny knew the risk.

[Olivia sighs]

Olivia: I'm just so afraid that if Sonny finds out about Dante, it's going to ruin Dante's life, Jax.

Jax: You're protecting your son by breaking up with Johnny and making Claudia think that she's winning. Okay? You're buying your son time to do his job. And Claudia's so focused on hurting you, she doesn't really know what's going on.

Olivia: Yes. I begged him, Jax. I begged him to find another case, to find another syndicate to bring down, but he wouldn't do it. And now, because my kid is so good at his job, he's about to find out that the criminal that he's actually chasing is his father.

Carly: You know we weren't talking about you in a negative way. We're on your side. I have no doubt that you can control this anger, Michael.

Michael: Let go of me.

Carly: I'll let go of you when I know you're okay. I get that you're upset, but you don't have to fall apart. It's a choice right now.

Michael: Okay.

Michael: I'm good. I'm good.

Morgan: You did it. You didn't flip out.

Molly: Congratulations.

Michael: I didn't mean to scare you guys, okay? I'm sorry.

Carly: Hey, you just shut down a rage episode. Give yourself a little credit. After you clean up that broken glass.

Michael: Sure.

Morgan: I'll get a dustpan.

Kristina: You seemed pretty cool when we were in Mexico. What's so different here?

Michael: I mean, I just -- I was in charge of my own life, you know? Nobody expected anything, and I could just live.

Carly: So you feel like that here, huh?

Michael: I know you guys all love me, and I love you, too. It's just I have all these things inside, and the tiniest thing can set me off.

Molly: So what's inside? Memories?

Michael: Yeah, and I mean, I can't make sense of them at all. I can't control them, and they're coming back faster and faster now.

Molly: Man, that must be very disconcerting.

Michael: Yeah, it's weird. And it just makes me mad, and then, I lose control and then do something stupid.

Morgan: I have an idea.

Carly: We're listening.

Morgan: Why don't you tell us everything you do remember, and then, we'll help you sort it all out? That way, you won't be so mad.

Claudia: You can't blame me because Olivia broke up with you. Maybe she found some other young stud to get her sick fantasies off --

Johnny: No, no, no. Actually, she said she was in love with your husband.

Claudia: What did she say about Sonny --

Johnny: I said she said she was in love with your husband, and that it was unfair to lead me on.

Claudia: How is that my fault?

Johnny: Because it's a pack of lies that you're forcing her to tell.

Claudia: You know what's pathetic? The way that Olivia still holds a torch for my husband.

Johnny: Oh, please.

Claudia: He made his choice. He wants to be with me. And that rusty old cougar is not a threat to anyone.

Johnny: Heh. You sure about that, kid?

Claudia: Yeah, I am.

Dominic: You know, I'm just going to let you two fight this out.

Claudia: Dominic, please, don't. I hate to see my brother this upset. Maybe we could all just have a drink and calm down.

Johnny: Oh, come on. A drink's not going to solve anything, Claudia. You did this. You destroyed the most important thing in my life.

Dominic: Look, I think you had a tough break tonight, but I really don't see how your sister's involved.

Claudia: It doesn't make sense, John. Why? Why would I tell Olivia, make her break up with you, when I know how she feels about Sonny? Not that I’m worried about it, but why do I want some hooker sniffing around my husband?

Johnny: Come on, Claudia. Because you do this. You get mad, and you make choices that are impulsive, that hurt people, innocent people who can't defend themselves.

Claudia: I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about right now, Johnny.

Johnny: You don't think things through, Claudia. You don't think about who may be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Is that right? So I'm giving you one chance to make this right -- one chance to tell me what you know about Olivia and how you forced her to break up with him.

Jax: Let me help you, okay? I'll transfer you to another hotel for a while. There's no reason for you to stay in town and watch the collapse of the Corinthos empire.

Olivia: I'm not leaving Dante.

Jax: All right. Fine. If you're not going to leave, the best thing for you to do is just let it play out. I mean, there's a good chance that you and Dante will walk away from this without a scratch, right?

Olivia: Always, the optimist, Jax. [Chuckles]

Jax: No reason to expect the worst in any situation, is there?

Olivia: You know, I spent my whole life trying to protect my kid from the mob, and now look where he is. He's deeper in than any cop has ever been.

Jax: He's exactly where he wants to be.

Olivia: I know that, but I just -- I know that Claudia's got another move up her sleeve. I can just feel it.

Jax: Maybe. But if you tell Sonny the truth, she loses her power over you, and his focus will be shifted somewhere else. Believe me, she does not want that.

Olivia: I never meant to hurt anyone, you know, certainly not Dante. And not Johnny, either. I just -- I never meant to care about him this much. You know? It was just supposed to be a stupid fling or some romantic adventure. But he just -- he gets to me, Jax. I can't explain it, you know? He just makes me feel like anything's possible. I can't believe I'm going to let that psycho bitch take him away from me.

Johnny: Stop it. Whatever you got on Olivia must be damn good, or else she never would have done this. But I don't understand that the hell you got to gain from doing this. You hate her that much, huh? What are you, jealous? Why couldn't you just leave us the hell alone?

Olivia: I understand that you're in grief, and that you need to take it out on someone, John, but it really shouldn't be such a big shocker to you that she's still in love with my husband because she has been. That was the game. She's using you to make him jealous, and it didn't work, and now, she dumped you.

Dominic: You know, maybe she's going to forget about both of you and just get the hell out of town.

Claudia: Works for me.

Johnny: You know what? I don't even know why I'm trying to understand this part of it, but you broke me and Olivia up knowing that she could go after your husband at any time. That's nuts. But the most insane part, Claudia, is you got no idea what you just did.

Claudia: 'Cause I didn't do anything, Johnny.

Johnny: Olivia and I, we -- we weren't hurting you or anybody. We just wanted to be together. That's it. She was my safe zone. She was the only place I could go that wasn't filthy or corrupt, the best thing that ever happened to me. And you destroyed that. So why shouldn't I do the same damn thing to you, huh? [Sniffles] I can make all this crap go away. Hell, I can make you disappear. So give me one damn reason why I shouldn't do that.

Dominic: Okay. Look, I think you need to back off. Now.

Carly: We need to respect Michael's privacy about his memories, okay? He gets to decide what to tell us and when.

Morgan: Wouldn't you feel better if you got it all sorted out?

Michael: Well, I'm not even sure that's possible, you know, because they just come back in these flashes -- a face here, a voice there -- and then, I'll hear a word in real time, and it triggers a memory.

Molly: Words like what?

Michael: Just regular words, you know, uh, like "I'm sorry" and "we miss you" and that kind of stuff. I never know what's going to, you know, trigger a memory.

Morgan: Well I do. You remember when they brought you home, and I tried to wake you up to play a video game?

Michael: No, not at all. What was that all about?

Carly: I didn't want to put you in the Aftercare Institute, so I brought you home, and we set you up in your old room.

Morgan: And I tried to wake you up, but I couldn't.

Michael: I'm sorry, bro.

Carly: Well, that's when I realized that you needed more care than I could give you, so. But you know, it doesn't matter, because you recovered. And I don't care when you remember. You're home. That's all I care about.

Morgan: This is where she usually starts crying.

Carly: Don't pick on me. I'm pregnant.

Michael: I'm sorry, Mom.

Carly: Oh, baby, they're happy tears. They are.

[Doorbell rings]

Carly: Oh. [Sniffles]

Morgan: I'll get it.

Carly: Oh, don't you --

Kiefer: Hey. I'm here to pick up Molly and K.

Kristina: Hey, Molly, you ready? We got to get home. Thanks for picking us up.

Michael: What is wrong with you, Kristina? Why the hell would you call him?

Mischa: Quick, before the guards come.

Ethan: All right. Well, tell me where Luke is. I'll go grab him. We'll all get out of here.

Lulu: I'm going with you.

Ethan: Like hell you are.

Mischa: Shh. Be quiet, both of you. Just stay with me. There's more danger than you can imagine.

Helena: Luke? Luke.

Luke: I'm thinking, all right? You've given me a lot to think about here.

Helena: Is this all too much for you?

Luke: Too much? You whack me over the head, drag me off to Greece, throw me in a cell, take me out once a month, clean me up, drug me up, and use me for some sick, psycho, sexual game, then you leave my cell door open today so I can find you in bed, you tell me you're dying and that the long-dead Mikkos has some bastard son named Valentin who's going to wreak havoc on all of us? Son of a bitch, you bet it's too much!

Helena: Luke, it's true.

Luke: All right. So who is this ghoul going to take his revenge on -- you, me, the Cassadines, the Spencers? You're a little short on details.

Helena: He is going to take it out on all of us. Luke, he's going to destroy us. Luke, for once, all of us, we're on the same side.

[Luke laughs]

Luke: God!

Helena: Oh!

Luke: You are -- you are something else. Just throw me back in the cell. I'll talk to the rats. They make more sense.

Helena: Oh.

[Footsteps]

[Door opens]

Lulu: Hi, Dad.

Luke: Cupcake! What took you so long?

Ethan: Well, you didn't exactly leave any clues.

Luke: You think I had a choice?

Helena: I'm afraid he didn't.

Lulu: What is going on here? You look terrible.

Helena: I knew that everyone would think that Luke had wandered off again. It was a perfect opportunity.

Lulu: Well, if you kidnapped him, how are you in that bed right now?

Helena: I did it all for Nikolas.

Luke: What's the holdup on these cuffs?

Ethan: I need a pen or something sharp.

Lulu: Here.

Ethan: Thank you.

Luke: How'd you find me?

Lulu: Uh, Mischa sent us a text message – the nurse.

Luke: Why would she do that?

Mischa: You need to hurry up before the guards get here.

Luke: Where's Lucky?

Lulu: He didn't get a message.

Luke: Can you show him how to do this?

Ethan: I got it. I got it, okay? I got it.

Luke: Okay.

Helena: Luke, please don't leave me.

Michael: Why do you want to spend any time with this jerk? He had you in tears in Mexico. He's rude to you at school.

Kristina: No, he's not. Kiefer offered to pick us up because my mom was busy and it would save Viola a trip.

Michael: He upsets you on purpose, and that stupid phone? I mean, come on.

Kristina: Michael, it's just a ride home.

Michael: I could have given you a ride.

Molly: Sorry, Michael. Mom says we're not allowed to ride with you.

Morgan: Maybe you should all get going.

Kiefer: Hey, look, man. I didn't mean to upset you, okay? K. just wanted a ride home.

Carly: Michael.

Kristina: Michael, stop!

Jax: Hey, hey, hey! Break it up, break it up! Are you okay?

Carly: Yeah! I'm okay.

Kristina: Did he hurt you?

Michael: Kristina, what?

Kristina: Come on, Molly. Let's go.

Molly: Bye, Morgan.

Michael: Kristina.

Jax: You sure you're okay?

Carly: Yeah, I'm fine. I have no dizziness, nothing. I'm okay.

Jax: Michael, what about you?

Michael: I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. I'm good. I can't believe I went off again. I mean, yeah, Kiefer's a dirt bag, but I should have had some self control.

Carly: I think you need to tell me about these memories that you're having. I want to hear everything that you have bottled up inside.

Jason: There has to be a way to prove that Claudia hired Devlin.

Sam: Well, if it's here, we're going to find it. All right. All right. Here we go. We've got the "Port Charles Herald" website right here. "Prominent doctor murdered." "Circumstances," "bus stop." Okay. Wait. Here's the obituary. This guy had, like, nobody in his life.

Jason: But there's got to be a connection somewhere

[Door opens]

Sam: I know.

Jason: There has to be.

Spinelli: Ah. Greetings, comrades.

Sam: Spinelli, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be on your un-honeymoon with Maxie.

Spinelli: Yes, indeed. Maximista received an urgent message from the fashionista and insisted on coming home. Something about a hemline crisis. But it's left me to pursue my own professional obligation --

Jason: Hey, Spinelli, see if you can find a record of items the PCPD took off Devlin the night he was shot, okay? Go.

Spinelli: That's a night I will always remember, the night Maximista stowed away in the mob-mobile. The night that my love for Maximista began to awaken in my heart. On that dark and fateful night, I never could have imagined -- well, an un-honeymoon on the blissful shores of Aruba. [Chuckles] Yeah.

Jason: Find out what Devlin brought with him the night he was running for his life.

Spinelli: Oh. Okay.

Jason: Now.

Claudia: Look, I'm embarrassed. I'm sorry. I -- I didn't mean to bring you into all of this. I just wanted to have a drink with you and see if we could find a way to be nicer to each other.

Dominic: Well, I don't think your brother's coming back tonight, so don't worry.

Claudia: I hate to admit this. I'm afraid. John is becoming more and more like my father. And he's so paranoid all the time and looking for someone to blame, and I guess that someone has turned out to be. It's weird, because we were really close when we were kids. I don't know what I did to turn him against me, exactly.

Dominic: You know what? Your brother probably just needs some time.

Claudia: No. He's been... he's been acting like this since he got involved with Olivia. I was just trying to protect him, but I guess I lost him. I don't know how I'm going to get through this. [Crying]

Dominic: Look. I think... I think we should call it a night, okay?

Claudia: Look. My husband trusts you. You've proven yourself to him and to me. I think we could be valuable to each other in ways you don't even know.

Dominic: Okay. Look, this is just not going to happen, okay? I'm flattered. I am. But --

Claudia: But what?

Dominic: We both have way too much to lose. What if Sonny walked in the door right now?

Claudia: This night doesn't have to end horribly. This could be the start of something good for both of us.

Ethan: Why would we take her with us?

Lulu: She's your worst enemy.

Luke: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, my children.

Lulu: You've been trying to kill her since before I was born.

Helena: Luke, please. Don't let us end this way.

Mischa: Look, we have to go. The guards are coming.

Ethan: Okay. We should probably go.

Helena: I'm dying.

Lulu: She's faking!

Helena: Don't you want the satisfaction of killing me yourself?

Luke: Heh. She knows me too well. She's our ticket out of here. Come on. We better leave.

Helena: Oh!

Jason: Okay. We're looking for evidence that ties Claudia to Devlin.

Spinelli: Thereby connecting Vixenella to the tragic shooting of the young Mr. Sir.

Jason: Remember Devin's last words were "there's more."

Spinelli: That is a cruel taunt. I remember Maximista being terrified and falling into my arms. I mean, little did I know then --

Sam: Focus, please.

Jason: Please.

Spinelli: Okay. Well, I assume that you hope the contents of Dr. Devlin's pockets somehow tie Vixenella to the tragedy, right?

Jason: Right. When I thought he said "there's more," I thought another person, but Sam made a good point. Maybe he meant more information.

Spinelli: I can see that anything is possible --

Sam: Yeah. What? I mean, do you think it's a stretch?

Spinelli: Vixenella is abrasive, for sure, and does, indeed, have a fearsome backhand, which I can attest to from personal experience, but she's always been kind and patient with me.

Jason: Okay, Spinelli, do you really think that Claudia's innocent?

Spinelli: Without resorting to any sort of judgment, I have been privy to many theories bandied about since the night of the tragedy, and none of them have proven Vixenella's guilt. And this desperate search through a dead man's pockets? It seems that we're scraping the bottom of --

Jason: If we don't come up with some good evidence, I'm never going to believe that Claudia's innocent.

Michael: I hate Kiefer, but I should have never lost it like that. You sure you're okay?

Carly: I'm fine. And I would tell you if I weren't.

Michael: I'm so sorry.

Jax: It's okay, Michael. You don't have to keep apologizing.

Claudia: Yeah. And we can't forget that you were able to calm down that rage earlier, and he did it sooner than later. You can't forget that. Do you think these memories are contributing to these rage attacks that you're having?

Michael: I don't know. Maybe.

Morgan: Then why don't you just tell us everything you remember?

Jax: He will when he's ready.

Michael: I just hate -- you know, the minute I see Kiefer, I get pissed off. I don't like the way he treats Kristina.

Jax: This isn't about Kiefer. This is about you. So how do you want to handle this?

Michael: I don't know. I don't have any control of any part of my life anymore -- not the rage, not the memories. I don't know when they're going to come or hit or what they're going to be about, or if they're going to be true or not. It's just all this stuff is inside me. I feel like it's going to explode. And then, when I see a jerk like Kiefer --

Morgan: I don't like him either, if that's any consolation.

[Michael sighs]

Michael: I still don't know what I'm going to do.

Jax: Stay away from Kiefer, for a start.

Carly: Seems to be a trigger for you.

Michael: How am I supposed to stay away from Kiefer when I see him every day at school?

Carly: We'll take you out of that school. That's not a problem.

Jax: Yeah. You can change schools, if that's what you want.

Michael: I mean, in a way, but Kristina needs me. I don't want to leave her.

[Kiefer sighs]

Kristina: Look, I'm so sorry about my brother.

Kiefer: Look, you don't have to worry about it.

Alexis: Did you find a name for Jax's baby?

Kiefer: And what you were saying before about the birth control, look, if you're not ready, it's okay. You're still a good person. But the mixed signals drive me crazy.

Kristina: I'm ready. I promise I am.

Alexis: Hey, you two. You can come in here, you know. Hi.

Kiefer: Hey.

Alexis: Listen, thanks for picking up the girls.

Kiefer: Oh, no problem.

Alexis: What happened to you?

Kiefer: Oh, it was just a little misunderstanding.

Alexis: Who hit you?

Molly: Kiefer was just defending himself, Mom.

Alexis: From whom? Molly?

Molly: Thanks. Michael punched Kiefer for no reason whatsoever.

Kiefer: Okay, it is not that serious. Okay, I didn't mean to set him off. I feel bad for him, actually.

Alexis: That's very generous of you.

Kristina: Michael couldn't help himself.

Kiefer: Everything is fine, I promise. I've got to get going, so I will call you later.

Kristina: Okay.

Alexis: You want to tell me what happened?

Kristina: Could you please not make a big deal out of this?

Alexis: Will you please not talk to me like that? And I think it is a big deal. And I think it needs to be addressed.

Molly: We'd been coming up with all kinds of names for the baby. Juliet, Jason, Job. Michael was laughing and it was fun. But first he got mad 'cause he thought we were talking about him behind his back.

Kristina: We were.

Molly: Yeah, but then he threw a glass.

Alexis: While you both were in the room?

Kristina: It didn't hit anyone.

Molly: Carly got him calmed down, but then Kiefer came by to pick us up and Michael just lost it.

Kristina: It wasn't that bad.

Alexis: See, I think it is. Because Michael gave Kiefer the bruise that he's sporting. I think it's very bad. And I think it needs to be addressed.

Luke: Uh, gentlemen, Madame Cassadine has asked us to accompany her to the mainland. So who would like to show us down to the docks? Anyone?

Helena: Put your weapons down.

Guard: Take her back to her room.

Mischa: You can't treat Mrs. Cassadine like a prisoner in her own home.

Guard: Take her back.

Helena: Oh. No, Luke. Luke, please, there's -- don't let them take me back. Luke, please.

Luke: Well, isn't this cozy?

Lulu: Wait till my brother finds out about this. Nikolas Cassadine.

Luke: Oh, there he is.

Ethan: Oh, look, there he is.

Luke: No, look, if you're gonna do it, you have to do it urgently.

Lulu: No, really, really.

Nikolas: What's going on in here?

Alexis: Kristina, I feel horrible for what Michael has to go through. He has to struggle constantly with his feelings of rage or his impulse control, but you know what, there's physical violence now, and that's a problem for me.

Kristina: Kiefer could be a little nicer to Michael. I mean, he didn't do anything tonight, but he has been hard on Michael in the past.

Molly: Kiefer just showed up at the exact wrong time. And Michael had just started to calm down and --

Kristina: Michael's really trying.

Alexis: Honey, I know that. And I know that none of this is his fault. But until he can get some kind of control over this, I think it's dangerous.

Kristina: "Dangerous" is a very strong word. It wasn't that bad.

Alexis: You know, it concerns me that you keep saying that, because I think when somebody hits somebody else, it's really that bad. He wasn't violent once, he was violent twice, right?

Molly: Yes, but nobody got hurt.

Alexis: Molly, what if he had thrown the glass at you or hit your sister instead of Kiefer?

Kristina: Michael wouldn't do that.

Alexis: We don't know what Michael would or wouldn't do. And worse, Michael doesn't know. You know, I said it was okay for you to spend time with him with supervision. You didn't listen. All right. So now I’m gonna insist that you stop spending time with him altogether for now.

Kristina: Michael's my brother. I can't just abandon him.

Alexis: You're not abandoning him. I'm telling you what to do. We've had this conversation before and we're not having it again. You have made some really bad choices lately for which I hold you accountable, but you have to admit, a lot of them involve Michael.

Molly: Mom, you can't blame Michael for what Kristina --

Alexis: Honey, I'm not blaming Michael. It isn't his fault. I've said that. He's got a neurological issue. But until he's able to deal with that issue, it is not safe for the two of you to be around him. That's it.

[Knock on door]

[Knock on door]

Johnny: You gave me these. Remember?

Olivia: Why did you come back?

Johnny: I called Claudia out.

Olivia: I really wish you hadn't done that.

Johnny: I know she's responsible

Olivia: Johnny, just leave it alone.

Johnny: You love me. You do not want to break up with me. And you're the last person I would expect to cave to Claudia.

Olivia: Please.

Johnny: No, no, no. Whatever it is, please let us make it through this together.

Olivia: Please just go.

Johnny: Whatever Claudia has on you, it cannot compare to what we know about Michael. And I will gladly give Claudia up if that means that I can be with you.

Ronnie: What do you got?

Dominic: Claudia Corinthos just came on to me.

Ronnie: We do all this work and you get yourself messed up with Corinthos' wife? What's the matter with you?

Dominic: Relax, I turned her down. Do I look stupid to you?

Ronnie: I don't like the way this is going.

Dominic: Look, I can handle Claudia. Tell me about Tommy Soto.

Ronnie: You took a hell of a risk handing that jackass your gun.

Dominic: I saw you and the witness protection guys coming out of the woods behind him.

Ronnie: Yeah, sure you did.

Dominic: Come on, Ronnie. I mean, I like to take chances, but I'm not gonna bet my flipping life on the good will of a thug like Tommy Soto. I saw, you guys were there to pick him up. I didn't have enough time to do the drop off myself, which is a good thing, too, because Jason Morgan was coming to check on my work in person.

Ronnie: Well, what did you tell him?

Dominic: I told him the truth -- that Tommy Soto nearly broke my jaw, then he got away. I didn't mention the part about the witness protection and that Tommy was spilling his guts about the inner workings of Sonny's organization.

Ronnie: Well, there's one problem. Tommy Soto mostly works for the Zaccharas, so he isn't giving us much that we can use against Sonny.

Dominic: No, no, he's stalling. He knows plenty about Corinthos.

Ronnie: [Sighs] Look, the case is closing in on us. Everybody's getting way too nervous. It's time to deliver the goods. We both know what that means.

Jason: I should have gone through Devin's pockets that night.

Spinelli: Perhaps Maximista would have recounted your actions to the law abiding patriarch.

Sam: Why is this taking so long?

Spinelli: The PCPD has installed new firewalls. But it's a minor inconvenience for the Jackal. You know, when I think of Maximista on the pristine beaches of Aruba, the waves crashing over us, I --

Sam: Can you do me a favor and just not think about Maximista until you've found the record of evidence, please?

Spinelli: What if the Jackal and Maximista work together as Stone Cold and fair Sam? 'Cause that is indeed where the tiniest of sparks were first ignited, in the sewer over a pair of shoes. I mean, one never knows when love is going to blossom. And when things that never seemed possible all of a sudden are.

[Computer beeps]

Spinelli: Ooh! Success.

Jason: What'd you find?

Spinelli: The PCPD evidence log and a list of things taken from the doomed Dr. Devlin. And look.

Sam: Mm-hmm. Now we are getting somewhere.

Helena: Oh, Nikolas. Nikolas, thank you, my darling. You know, I was desperate when I called you. I didn't know if you would come.

Nikolas: What's going on?

Helena: You have to listen to me, it's very important. Your grandfather Mikkos, he had another child out of wedlock, a son. The child was a mistake. It was a secret. And I had heard rumors that he was -- he was treacherous. You know, he was disowned years ago. And when I heard he was treacherous, I contacted him anyway because I wanted to influence you.

Nikolas: Oh, you'll never change, will you?

Helena: Oh, Nikolas, he's evil. Oh, he's unimaginable. And he's out there somewhere. And I unleashed him.

Nikolas: Why are you sick?

Helena: They've been drugging me. Oh, Nikolas, listen to me, please. Please, he's coming for me. He's coming for you. He's coming for all of us. No, and he won't stop until he has taken everything.

Luke: Uh, Mischa, was it?

Mischa: Mm-hmm.

Luke: First of all, thank you. But I'm wondering why you didn't call Nikolas in the first place when things started to go weird around here.

Mischa: Well, I was responsible for Mrs. Cassadine. I wasn't privy to any family information. I wasn't allowed to just roam through the house freely. But it's over now. You can all go home safely.

Luke: Yes, we're going to. But I need to tell you this. I've known the dragon lady for a very long time. I've never seen her like this. She's terrified. She's convinced that there's a viper in the family nest named Valentin, and that he's gonna try to kill all of us.

Spinelli: Item number 7. Below the keychain, above the bottle of aspirin.

Sam: Yeah, but why would he be carrying a micro-recorder.

Jason: Blackmail. I mean, he was selling drugs. He wanted record of the transaction.

Sam: Right. Or he was catching up on some dictation.

Jason: Okay, what about the transcript? Anything in there?

Spinelli: Not as indicated.

Jason: All right, where's the recorder?

[Typing]

Spinelli: Warehouse 17. It's where the PCPD stores evidence from closed cases. Access is restricted to PCPD and D.A. personnel.

Jason: Spinelli, I need you to get me in there.

[Typing]

Olivia: [Sniffles]

Johnny: We've always been honest with each other. So please just tell me the truth. Okay, what does Claudia have on you?

Olivia: I'm in love with Sonny.

Johnny: That is a lie.

Olivia: I should have never let this go on this far.

Johnny: You've said that before and it makes no sense. We are this far. We are in love.

Olivia: You're in love. I'm not.

Johnny: Okay, we may have a future and we may not, but do not give it up because of Claudia. Whatever she is holding over you, I can make it go away. Please, Olivia, I love you. Please let me help you.

Olivia: If you love me at all, Johnny, please, please just go. Go.

[Cell phone rings]

[Ring]

Olivia: Hello?

Claudia: Book a suite at the Metro Court. I want the full package, including champagne and a candlelight dinner. Make the reservation under the name of Deborah Jackson.

Olivia: You really are insane.

Claudia: Lose the attitude. You're gonna do what I want from now on.

Olivia: I'm not helping you cheat on Sonny.

Claudia: You're gonna do what I want whenever I want from this point forward. Do you understand? Otherwise I'm gonna tell Sonny. Just think of his face when he finds out that Dominic Pirelli is really his son. And your son, too.

Olivia: [Sobs]

Dominic: You know, the timing is all wrong.

Ronnie: Yeah, 'cause we're running out.

Dominic: Why take the risk? Why can't we get the information another way?

Ronnie: Because Corinthos has got to be suspicious about Tommy Soto. And now with Claudia moving in on you, the situation's getting volatile. As your partner, as your friend, I want you out of there.

Dominic: Ah, you know I don't like this.

Ronnie: Well, neither do I. But we both know there is only one way that we're gonna be able to nail down this case. You got to wear a wire.
