Provided By Gisele

Brooke: I cannot tell you what it's like to see you again here, actually in Pine Valley.

Dimitri: The old past comes out of its grave.

Brooke: Oh. [Chuckles] With a bunch of memories standing right behind it.

Dimitri: I, um -- I drove out to Wildwind earlier today, and, uh [Laughs] it was all -- it was totally shut down!

Brooke: Well, after Caleb left town, Sam and Maddie really weren't interested in renting it again. Do you -- do you still stay in touch with them?

Dimitri: No. No, no, no. After Alex and I divorced, I sort of drifted off, away from everyone. While -- while I was out at Wildwind, I went down to the family mausoleum, and I made my amends to Edmund.

Brooke: [Sighs]

Dimitri: [Scoffs] It seems like so many lifetimes ago, doesn't it?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. Well, some of us are -- are still hanging in there.

[Both laugh]

Dimitri: You're doing more than just hanging in there. You look beautiful.

Brooke: Oh, you! You're always such a charmer. I didn't ever think when I sent that e-mail that you would actually show up in person. I didn't.

Dimitri: Your -- your timing was perfect. Europe was starting to bore me. I need to get out of my shell. So, this proposition. Tell me about it.

Brooke: Well, with Adam traveling so much, he's put me in charge of Chandler. And we want to make a big push into online media. And I am looking for someone who can head up the new division -- someone who has talent, who has a spine, and who has instincts to make it a success. Hmm. Someone... like you.

Dimitri: [Laughs]

[Footsteps approach]

Cara: Hey.

JR: Hey.

Cara: I got your message. Is everything okay?

JR: Uh... yeah. I just -- I need some honest answers... about my recovery.

Cara: Have I ever been dishonest with you?

JR: No. No, but you do have this infectious optimism about you. I just want to make sure I'm getting all the bad along with the good.

Cara: Oh, okay. What if there's no bad to talk about? I mean, my God -- you're in miraculous shape considering your history. You're making amazing progress every day. Actually, I'm in awe of what you've been able to do. Honest enough for you?

JR: Well, I certainly wouldn't have been able to get there without you.

Cara: Mm. Is there anything else you'd like me to spread sunshine on for you?

JR: Yeah -- how do I speed up my recovery? You know, should I be taking, uh... you know, human growth hormone? What about steroids?

Cara: Steroids.

JR: Yeah.

Cara: Well, that could be tantamount to a death wish for you.

[Cell phone ringing]

Celia: Hello?

Pete: Hey, it's me.

Celia: I know.

Pete: Listen. I just, um -- why did you bring all these clothes back?

Celia: Look. The tags are still left on. You could probably still bring them back.

Pete: I don't give a damn about the clothes, Celia! I just want a chance to make up for whatever it is that I did that made you shut down on me like this.

Celia: You don't understand.

Pete: You're right! I don't! So just -- please. Just explain it to me.

Celia: I'm sorry, Pete. Please -- [Sighs] Please don't call me anymore.

[Zach is being fingerprinted]

Jesse: This is so wrong.

Lea: The man swore he would kill Uri if he could find him. His prints are all over the murder weapon. He has no alibi for the time of murder. Murder, means, and opportunity, Chief.

Jesse: It's not that cut and dry. There's a lot more going on here.

Lea: Not from where I'm sitting. And if you hadn't arrested him, I would have. He's still facing federal charges after his murder indictment.

Jesse: I'm telling you, he didn't do it.

Lea: Look -- I know he's your friend. But that just means you should not have been on this case in the first place.

Jesse: I'm -- I'm not gonna let that man take the fall for this.

Lea: This is out of your hands, Chief.

Jesse: Give us a second. Zach --

Zach: Stop beating yourself up -- you're just doing your job.

Jesse: I know you didn't do this.

Zach: Makes two of us. Find Cassandra. And you got to do me a favor.

Jesse: Name it.

Zach: I want extra protection on Kendall and the boys. I don't care what it costs.

Jesse: Done.

Zach: Okay.

Lea: Time to go. Cuff him.

Zach: Are you kidding? Wow. I have a beautiful FBI agent escorting me. I am flattered.

Lea: Don't be. I'm a witness for the prosecution.

Zach: Got to make you feel good, though, right? Thinking that you're right about me?

Lea: To be honest, I was hoping I was wrong. Thanks a lot, Chief. Thanks for your help.

Dimitri: Why would the woman who made such a success of Tempo magazine need someone to run the media division for her? You -- you're obviously more qualified than I am!

Brooke: Oh, thank you for the compliment. [Sighs] It's not just Chandler. I have my hands full. I-I don't know if you heard about JR coming out of his coma.

Dimitri: How is he?

Brooke: Uh, actually, he's, uh -- he's in pretty shape, and seemingly, a very different person, and seemingly contrite. But he does want to get back into the family business.

Dimitri: And you don't want to let that happen.

Brooke: No, and neither does Adam. But with Adam traveling so much trying to rebuild this company that JR has made a mess of, I'm here -- I'm flying solo. So I need somebody who could not only build the division but head it up, and someone I can trust who can also keep a very close eye on JR at all times.

Cara: Look. HGH only prevents further wasting of muscle tissue. There's no proof that it can actually build it up. Now, anabolic steroids -- the risks are too extreme.

JR: Like what?

Cara: Mood swings, insomnia, manic behavior, irritability, lack of good judgment.

JR: [Sighs]

Cara: The risks -- liver damage, heart attack, stroke, cancer.

JR: Oh, I didn't realize.

Cara: And considering you've gone through one bout of that, and you've come out the other side, why would you tempt fate, not to mention the addictive nature of steroids.

JR: And everybody knows about my history of addiction.

Cara: Right. You're just not a good candidate for this, JR, I mean, on so many levels. I mean, for us to be even talking -- you know what it's like? It's like you playing Russian roulette with a lot more bullets in the cylinder. I would never prescribe this for you.

JR: Yeah, but without this, right, there's a very good chance I'm never going to be back to 100%, correct?

Cara: Are you listening to anything I'm saying?

JR: I'm just asking you a question. Honestly, without performance-enhancing drugs, I can only take it so far. Isn't that right?

Cara: Yes. It's possible.

JR: Okay. Well, what are the odds?

Cara: Look. I mean, I can't -- there are so many --

JR: Best guess, Cara!

Cara: To get you back where you were five years ago?

JR: Yes. Five years.

Cara: It's too early. I'm sorry, it's too early to tell. But you need to trust me when I tell you -- you're gonna be just fine, okay?

JR: [Sighs] You know what? Let me buy you dinner.

Cara: What? [Chuckles] Uh, thank you? But no. No, no, no. I'm not even dressed to go out, and I don't think --

JR: Okay, we'll stay in. You know, the best part about having a live-in cook is that dinner comes to you. Yeah?

Heather: Got a sec?

Celia: Yeah. Sure.

Heather: Whoa! You okay?

Celia: Uh, yeah.

Heather: You want to talk about it?

Celia: No.

Heather: If you want to chill, I can come back.

Celia: No. Stay. Tell me what's going on.

Heather: Well, since you asked... I need you to tell me about AJ Chandler.

Celia: AJ?

Heather: Yeah. You're tutoring him, right?

Celia: Yeah, but --

Heather: Okay. I was just over there, and OMG. He is so freaking hot!

Celia: He's also a really, really good guy.

Heather: Really? [Sighs] I knew it. I could just tell. He has those eyes... but you've got to fill me in on him and Miranda. I mean, the last thing I want is to be that kind of girl.

Celia: What kind of girl?

Heather: You know, the kind that puts the moves on another girl's guy.

Celia: [Scoffs]

Pete: [Sighs and drinks while Colby sneaks past him]

Jesse: You made bail.

Lea: His lawyer made a fantastic argument about Mr. Slater being in danger if incarcerated. The Koslovs have a long reach.

Jesse: I was worried about that myself. Thank God the court agreed.

Lea: He's been remanded to my custody until the arraignment.

Zach: Wait. That means we get to spend some quality time together. That is the coolest thing.

Lea: My new babysitting duties will not interfere with finding your daughter, Chief. Finding Cassandra is my first priority.

Jesse: Well, I appreciate that. I can use all the help I can get.

Lea: I'll sign him out.

Zach: Jesse? I don't know how much I can help with this little leash around my neck, but I'm not giving up, either.

Jesse: Zach, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have pulled you into this.

Zach: The Koslovs pulled me into this. Just find Cassandra. Would you do that?

Jesse: I don't deserve this.

Zach: You'd do the same for me.

Jesse: I'll check in with you later.

Zach: Take it easy. I'm fine.

Jesse: You and I both know this is wrong.

Lea: Go get the car and bring it around front.

Zach: Oh, come on! Seriously?

Lea: I put my ass on the line for a guy who's ditched two of my agents. I'm not taking any chances.

Zach: Well, I am still flattered.

Lea: And I'm irritated. So keep your smart-ass comments to yourself tonight, okay?

Zach: Okay. Taking a shower's gonna be interesting.

Lea: [Sighs]

[Phone ringing]

Jesse: It's me. Slater's been arrested. Now let Cassandra go.

Zach: Well, thank you for not parading me through the lobby with my handcuffs on.

Lea: I didn't want to scare the other guests. And I didn't think I had to restrain you, but --

Zach: Can I ask you something?

Lea: Hm-hmm.

Zach: Now, you were 100% convinced that I was guilty. Today, you did everything in your power to keep me out of jail.

Lea: And I've yet to hear even a hint of appreciation.

Zach: Oh. Uh... thank you.

Lea: You're welcome.

Zach: Yeah. A successful guy like me -- why would I be so foolish and reckless? You don't think I'm that, do you?

Lea: No, I don't.

Zach: Okay, so why would you think that I killed Koslov?

Lea: Because the evidence is overwhelming against you.

Zach: Don't worry about the evidence right now. I'm asking you. What does your gut tell you.

Lea: That I don't think you're that stupid -- to throw your whole life away. And I think you have more good than bad in you.

Jesse: [Sighs]

[Cell phone rings]

Jesse: Yeah.

Uri: You have been less than truthful with me, Chief Hubbard.

Jesse: I did everything you asked me to do. Where is my daughter?

Uri: Slater was let out on bail! I wanted him behind bars!

Jesse: That was completely out of my control. It was the judge's decision. Where is my daughter?!

Uri: You disappoint me.

Jesse: No! [Grunts]

JR: Cara practically trampled over me, running out of the room.

Cara: I am not afraid of spiders, okay? But this one was the size of a small car -- I'm serious!

AJ: [Laughs]

JR: And I'm lying on the ground, and he's coming right at me. I mean, thank God for the free weight in my hand. It's like -- half a dozen dents in the floor, but I think I got him.

Cara: [Laughs]

Brooke: Hi, everyone. I'm sorry to interrupt. I just came to pick up some paperwork. Cara, hi.

Cara: Hi, Brooke.

Brooke: Uh, JR? You remember Dimitri Marick, don't you?

JR: Oh, my God!

Dimitri: [Laughs]

JR: Dimitri. Been a long time.

Dimitri: Yes, it has.

JR: Good to see you.

Dimitri: You, too, JR.

JR: Hey, uh, this is Dr. Cara Castillo. My son, AJ.

Dimitri: Doctor, AJ.

JR: So, what are you in town visiting?

Dimitri: Um --

Brooke: Actually, I was trying to convince Dimitri to move back to Pine Valley to help out with Chandler Media.

Dimitri: Yeah. Yeah. We've, uh, just sort of been hashing out some ideas about that.

JR: Yeah, well, I'm -- I'm sure you'll do a really job.

Brooke: I hope you'll excuse us. Uh, let's go to the den. I want to show you what we have so far.

Dimitri: All right. A pleasure to meet you both.

Cara: You, too.

JR: [Sighs] Well, Dimitri always was a clever man. I'm sure he'd be a great addition to the company. Added bonus feature -- he can walk without falling flat on his [Sighs]

Heather: You still sad about that guy you were seeing -- Pete? Thought so. You seemed really happy with him.

Celia: I was, but [Sighs] things change.

Heather: What happened?

Celia: Too many differences. Bad timing. Uh... whatever.

Heather: Maybe it can still work out for you two.

Celia: I doubt it. He's already moved on to someone else.

Pete: Holy shit. [Sighs] What the hell are you doing here?

Colby: Mm. Waiting... forever. I hope you weren't surfing any porn or anything downstairs. You're gonna need all the stamina you can muster.

Pete: Okay. Colby, tonight is just not the right time at all.

Colby: [Chuckles] What does grown-up Petey Cortlandt like to drink. Mm. A Scotch man. Hmm.

Pete: [Scoffs] Okay. Don't get me wrong. You look --

Colby: Hm-hmm.

Pete: Amazing.

Colby: Yeah.

Pete: But tonight is just not the right -- Oh, my!

Colby: [Laughs] Oops. Let me help you find that. Wow, Pete! When did you get so buff? I mean, talk about being cut!

Pete: I guess I just got over geek stereotype... started working out.

Colby: Well, I started working out, too. What do you think?

Pete: I'm speechless.

Colby: As you should be.

Pete: [Sighs]

Colby: Now, be honest with me. When we were younger, and you were chasing after me, how many times did you think about this exact moment? Me, naked, pressed up against you, ready to do anything you want to do?

Pete: Only in my wildest dreams.

Colby: Guess what, Petey? Dreams really do come true.

Pete: [Gasps]

Colby: [Chuckles]

Pete: Are you kidding me?

JR: You know, Cara's been telling me that it's not going to be very long before I can throw the ball with you.

AJ: That'd be cool.

JR: Yeah, I can't wait to see you pitch a game.

AJ: Yeah, well, don't hold your breath, 'cause I'm not gonna be starting, at least not this year.

JR: Why not?

AJ: Dad, just chill, okay? I'm cool with it. I'm not like you and Grandpa. I don't need to be winning at every single thing I do. And all that seems to be causing is disappointment and weird feelings, so... Okay, well, cake was great. Thanks.

Cara: You seem to be making progress with him.

JR: That, or he's picking up on the fact that his father's a loser, and he's taking pity on me.

Cara: Oh, you're wrong on both counts.

JR: You know, Colby told me that she thinks Brooke's running roughshod over me... that I should take control of the company one way or another... take back what's rightfully mine. How can I like this?

Cara: Stop it, please! Hey! It's been a few weeks, all right? It's going to take a little time.

Colby: [Laughs]

Pete: [Chuckles]

Colby: I want you to teach me something.

Pete: [Scoffs] I don't think I can teach you anything.

Colby: [Chuckles] That's not what I mean, silly! I want you to teach me something smart. I want you to teach me about computers. [Laughs]

Pete: Okay. Well... computers are pretty much made up of...

Colby: Mm-hmm?

Pete: About a million -- billion electric switches... that are either on... or off.

Colby: Don't stop. You stop, I stop. Got it?

Pete: Got it.

Colby: [Moans]

Pete: So... the computers... they're, um, pretty much a manipulation of, uh -- of numbers, all in, um... binary form --

Colby: Mm.

Pete: Binary form meaning ones and zeroes -- and the switches... that are either on... Oh, my -- or off. [Sighs] The first, uh... computer... modern language was actually started in the '50s. [Grunts] And the first computer multi-user game was invented in 1979. And they called it... mud. "M"... U-D -- multi... user... dungeon.

Dimitri: Well, I think it's ambitious, even at the edge of audacity. But I did not expect anything less.

Brooke: Worth you staying in Pine Valley for?

Dimitri: Yes! Yes, very much worth it.

Brooke: [Chuckles]

JR: [Grunts as he reaches behind to inject himself]

Lea: I'm exhausted. We've had a long day.

Zach: [Grunts]

Lea: I think we should both turn in for the night.

Zach: Well, can I brush my teeth and wash my feet before you tie me to the bed, or... ?

Lea: Oh, no. No. No handcuffs. There's gonna be an agent posted outside the door.

Zach: Oh. Okay. Where are you gonna sleep?

Lea: In bed!

Zach: Uh... so, I take the floor, or... ?

Lea: [Chuckles] No, no. I want you in bed, too. Excuse me. My bed -- in the adjoining room.

Zach: So... what if I have a bad dream and I wake up screaming, is it okay if --

Lea: No, no, no, no. I wouldn't advise you waking me up. I put my sidearm underneath my pillow, and I hate surprises. But if you do wake up in the middle of the night, all scared, you can ask Agent Bronson to make you some warm milk and cookies.

Zach: [Grunts]

Lea: And he can tuck you right back in. Or maybe not. Good night.

Zach: Uh, good night, Lea. And, um... thanks for having my back today.

[Door opens]

Lea: [Chuckles]

Zach: Oh. And today is the first day you let me call you Lea without being a bitch about it, so... thank you.

Lea: Like I said, I'm exhausted. Good night, Zach.

Zach: Good night, Lea. Lea. Hmm. Mm.

[Beeping]

Recording: The number you have reached is not in service.

Jesse: Damn it! Where is she?! Where is she?! [Crying] Where is --

[A large man dumps Cassandra's lifeless and beaten body in a room and leaves]
