Eric: Yes, yes, that's right. No, Forrester -- Eric Forrester. And listen -- listen, there's been a shooting here. There are two women that have been shot. They're both hurt very seriously. They both need the paramedics very badly. And I need the police, as well. The woman who did the shooting, her name is Sheila carter. She's a fugitive. And she's very, very dangerous. No. No, she's unconscious. Look, please -- please hurry. Hey, Taylor? Taylor? The paramedics are on their way. All right? You just hold on, okay? Just hold on. Hold on. Oh, god.
Brooke: Eric?
Eric: Brooke, don't talk. Don't talk, don't move. It's all right. Help's on the way. It's on the way.
Brooke: Don't let Sheila get the gun.
Stephanie: Oh, my god!
Ridge: Dad, what happened?
*************************************************************************************
Rick: Feels so good to have you home.
Amber: Feels good to be home.
Rick: Little Eric was so happy to see you. I don't think he's gonna have any trouble sleeping now.
Amber: Neither will I.
Rick: You must be exhausted.
Amber: Oh, yeah. I've been running on pure adrenaline for weeks.
Rick: You can relax now, 'cause you're here and you're safe.
Amber: Yeah. We all are.
Rick: I wonder if the cops have found Sheila yet.
Amber: Well, even if they don't, we're never gonna see her again.
Rick: Why not?
Amber: 'Cause if all she wanted was revenge, we would have seen her years ago. This was about Erica. And I don't think either one of them will risk coming back here. No, Sheila is long gone.
*********************************************************************************
Sally: Have a shot of Irish whiskey. You look like you can use it.
Massimo: Yes, thank you. Mm.
Sally: Amber's all right, isn't she?
Massimo: Oh, yeah. Stephanie and I got there in time.
Sally: Oh, thank goodness. I mean, you and queen Stephanie -- you rescued her together, huh?
Massimo: Well, we didn't know Amber was there. We were there looking for Sheila. Let me tell you something -- if we hadn't gotten there when we got there, Sheila would have killed her. I guess I was right about that woman. She was a very dangerous woman, indeed.
*********************************************************************************
Stephanie: Eric, you're bleeding.
Eric: It's not mine.
Ridge: Brooke, no!
Eric: The paramedics are on their way.
Ridge: Brooke!
Stephanie: Sheila?
Ridge: Can you hear me?
Eric: Yes.
Ridge: Brooke, what happened here?
Brooke: Oh, Ridge. I'm sorry.
Ridge: What?
Brooke: I didn't know Sheila was in here. But Taylor --
Ridge: Taylor's at home with the kids.
Eric: Ridge?
Ridge: What? What's --
Stephanie: Taylor, oh, my god, no!
Ridge: Taylor! Taylor -- what's -- what -- Taylor, can you hear me? Taylor? Sweetheart? Taylor, can you hear me? Sweetheart, open your eyes. Open your eyes, come on.
*****************************************************************************
Sally: You know, Massimo, Sheila Carter is a lot more dangerous than you think. She is a genuine sociopath.
Massimo: Yes, but a charming sociopath.
Sally: Charming? Right. So is a cobra.
Massimo: And they always hypnotize their prey.
Sally: Uh-huh. They hypnotize their prey, and then they swallow them whole.
Massimo: Mm-hmm.
Sally: That's what she did with Eric Forrester, you know? She hypnotized him. She slithered into his office. Then she slithered into his bedroom, slithered into his life, took him right to the altar. And poor James Warwick -- she managed to hypnotize and seduce him while holding him hostage in a dungeon.
Massimo: Unfortunately, they're not the only ones that were seduced by her charm.
Sally: Oh, Mojo, not you, too.
Massimo: What can I tell you? I met her in a bar a couple of months ago. She never even told me her name.
Sally: You and the princess of darkness, huh?
Massimo: I didn't know who she was.
Sally: Right, well, you do now. And you had a very narrow escape. You know, aside from being a little bit embarrassed, because you have proof once again that you and Eric Forrester have the same taste in women.
Massimo: Come on, it's not funny, all right?
Sally: All right, sorry. But you did escape with your head. Everybody did. You and queenie saved the day, saved Amber, nobody got hurt. That's good. And your evil girlfriend is going to be going to prison very soon. I'm sorry to tell you, they probably won't allow conjugal visits. But you can --
Massimo: Stop it, all right? Just stop it.
Sally: I was just teasing you.
Massimo: I know, I know.
Sally: Mm-hmm. Well, think about what a narrow escape you had. Sometimes even a little bad luck is better than no luck at all.
Massimo: You're probably right, Sally. Things could have turned out a lot differently tonight.
*************************************************************************************
Ridge: Taylor, sweetheart, hold on. Hold on. You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay.
Stephanie: We've gotta do something.
Eric: The blankets -- get the blankets, and bring one over here. Bring one.
Stephanie: Put this over her, honey.
Ridge: There's too much blood. We've gotta stop it.
Brooke: How's Taylor?
Stephanie: Honey, don't talk. Just lie still, please.
Brooke: She was trying to save me, and I -- I saw the gun.
Stephanie: Don't worry. There's nothing you can do for Taylor right now. Just stay calm and be still.
Ridge: Hang on, sweetheart. Hang on. I'm right here. I'm right here. You stay with me, Taylor. You stay with me, sweetheart. Come on.
[ Sound of sirens ]
Stephanie: They're here.
Ridge: Tell them to hurry.
Stephanie: Here! Here we are! In the house here!
Medic one: There's another ambulance right behind us, ma'am.
Stephanie: Thank you.
Medic two: How many people are hurt here?
Stephanie: Two.
Medic one: I have three down.
Eric: No, no, she's all right. These are the two that are hurt.
Ridge: Over here! My wife is bleeding. She needs help.
Medic two: I've got her.
Ridge: Help her. Please -- please, help her. Sweetheart, stay with me. Stay with me here. Sweetheart, don't you hear me?
Stephanie: Brooke, I'm gonna come with you to the hospital, all right? And don't worry. You're gonna be okay. Okay, I want you just to stay calm.
Medic three: Dispatch, this is unit 68. Alert university hospital, we're coming in with a female gunshot. Extensive blood loss, bp's down, vitals are unstable.
Brooke: Where's Taylor?
Stephanie: She'll be all right. We'll be behind you. I'm gonna go with her to the university hospital.
Eric: How is she?
Stephanie: She's conscious.
Eric: All right. Well, they're still working on Taylor.
Stephanie: Yeah, I think you need to stay here with Ridge.
Lt. Baker: I'll have one of my men take him to the hospital with the ambulance.
Stephanie: Thank you, lieutenant.
[ Sound of sirens ]
medic two: I'm losing her peripheral pulses. We're gonna have to move her, now.
Medic one: Set up two lines of large bore IV’s.
Ridge: Please hurry. She's losing so much blood.
Medic two: Sir, we're gonna get your wife to the hospital.
Medic one: This is unit 32. Give university hospital our ETA of five minutes. We're coming in with another gunshot wound to the left anterior chest. Unable to obtain radial pulses. Possible trauma to the heart. Have surgery standing by.
Medic two: Okay, we're ready. Let's move.
Ridge: I'm going with her. I've got to be with her.
Eric: No. No, Ridge, this officer here is gonna take you to the hospital, all right?
Ridge: I can't lose her, Dad. I can't.
Eric: She's gonna be all right, ridge. She's gonna be all right. You just pray. Go on. Go on, I'll follow you.
Lt. Baker: I'm sorry we didn't catch Sheila sooner.
Eric: So am I.
Jackson: Should I take her in, lieutenant?
Lt. Baker: Have you read her her rights?
Jackson: Yes, sir.
Lt. Baker: Yeah, she can go.
Sheila: Eric, I am so sorry.
Eric: You shut up!
Sheila: No, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted to talk to you. All you had to do was listen to me. I tried to explain. I was only -- only helping my daughter. Please, you've got to believe me! God, I love you.
Eric: You go to hell.
***********************************************************************************
Amber: Let's not talk about Sheila anymore.
Rick: I'm sorry.
Amber: I know you want to know what happened, but it's just -- every time I think about it, I just keep thinking about how much could have gone wrong. You know, if Stephanie and Massimo hadn't found me when they did, and if Ridge hadn't shown up to warn you about Erica, then I don't know what might have happened.
Rick: But Stephanie and Massimo did find you. And you're safe now. And all Ridge did was stop Erica from making a complete fool of herself.
Amber: I know, I should have known that you wouldn't fall for it. It's just -- the whole time that Sheila had me tied up, she just kept taunting me. She actually believed that you were gonna get Erica pregnant.
Rick: Sheila's a lunatic.
Amber: You don't even know the half of it. You know, all that time that she was away, she didn't get any better. She's just as crazy and as vicious as she always has been.
Rick: And just as obsessed with my dad.
Amber: You know, it's true. I think that's probably why she was so eager to get you and Erica together.
Rick: Yeah, look at that fake name that she gave her daughter. I mean --
Amber: Yeah, you know, if Sheila couldn't have Eric, she was gonna make damn sure her daughter got his son.
Rick: Oh, man. I can't wait until dad hears about this. He's gonna freak out.
Amber: Maybe we should call him.
Rick: No, tonight, I just want to close the door, close the blinds, and give my wife the welcome home she deserves.
Amber: Eric is still asleep. He is way off in never-never land.
Rick: And how about you? You said you were exhausted.
Amber: Well, I was. But I'm feeling much better now.
Rick: Ah, you're getting a second wind.
Amber: I feel like I could sprint around the block until the sun comes up.
Rick: Oh, no, no, no. If it's exercise that you're looking for, then you're gonna stay right here with me.
Amber: Really? Are you offering to be my personal trainer?
Rick: Has it been that long? Do you really need instruction?
Amber: Hey, I've been visualizing this for weeks.
Rick: But still -- I think we should do a little warming up before we jump out on the blocks.
Amber: Well, you know, I have been tied up all night, you know, so I guess I could use a little stretching.
Rick: Is this what you were visualizing?
Amber: Oh, honestly, it is better than anything I could have ever of imagined.
Rick: Well, I'm just getting started.
Amber: Well, I mean it, Rick. You know, when I was at Taylor's, I would lie awake at night just listening to her and Ridge laughing, talking about their days and playing with the kids. And it broke my heart. And I would just close my eyes and try to imagine the last time we were like that -- just comfortable, no stress, nobody interfering. But here we are. Finally -- finally, we're together again. And it's not just some fantasy I'm using to keep myself going. It's actually happening. And it's absolutely amazing.
Rick: So are you, Amber.
Amber: I've missed you so much.
Rick: I've missed you, too. More than you know. But I am gonna make sure that we never have to miss each other again. Because I love you, and I'm not gonna let you out of my sight. I just want to stay right here with you -- for the rest of our lives.

Dr. Bloom: Keep a close eye on her bp.
Brooke: Where's Taylor? I want to see her.
Dr. Bloom: Ms. Logan, you have a very serious wound. There's still a bullet inside of you.
Brooke: I didn't know Sheila was there. I just went over there for a baby bottle.
[ Beeping ]
Dr. Bloom: Ma'am -- ma'am, you need to calm down.
Stephanie: Brooke, please listen to the doctor and just -- just take it easy. Stay still and calm down.
Dr. Bloom: Are you experiencing any numbness? Can you feel your hands and your feet?
Brooke: I don't know. I just feel so dizzy.
Stephanie: What is it?
Dr. Bloom: Well, she's lost a great deal of blood. We're gonna have to get her into surgery. We need to get that bullet out now.
Stephanie: Take it easy. You're gonna be okay.
Dr. Cooper: How's her vitals?
Nurse: Her pulse is still weak and thready, doctor.
Dr. Cooper: Well, we can't wait for her to stabilize. We have to get into surgery now.
Nurse: Sir, you'll have to stay out here.
Ridge: Please, just give me a minute. Just give me a minute. Sweetheart? Sweetheart, can you hear me? Taylor?
Taylor: Ridge --
Ridge: Taylor, you -- I want you to be strong, okay? I want you to be strong. Dr. Cooper is gonna take good care of you. Okay?
Taylor: The kids?
Ridge: The kids -- the kids are fine. They're at home. They're fine.
Taylor: Okay.
Ridge: Taylor, I love you. I love you so much. I love you more than anything else in this world.
Taylor: I love you, too. You tell the babies --
Ridge: Tell them? You tell them. You can tell them yourself, sweetheart. You tell them when you get out of here, okay? You tell them yourself. I love you.
[ Beeping ]
Nurse: Her bp is dropping!
Dr. Cooper: Mr. Forrester, we have to go.
Ridge: Okay, okay.
