Caroline: [ Thinking ] Maggie, how could someone have taken your precious life? Oh, god.

[ Sighs ]

Victor: You're in pain, Caroline. Let me help.

Caroline: Victor.

Victor: My wife never lets me pleasure her. What about you? Will you allow me to show you what she's been missing?

********************************************

Nicole's voice: Hey, girl. You are hot.

Nicole: Aren't you a little biased?

Nicole's voice: I tell it like it is.

Nicole: So do we really need perfume?

Nicole's voice: Does a sundae need a cherry on the top?

Brady: Nicole.

Brady: Nicole?

Nicole: Yes?

Brady: Nicole, I want... you --

Nicole: Oh, I thought you'd never ask.

Nicole's voice: Ooh, you go, gi.. mm.

********************************************

Cassie: Where are you taking him?

Roman: Booking, for the murder of Maggie Horton. Let's go.

Cassie: Rex, hang in there. Tony's talking to his lawyers, and he's sending somebody over.

Mimi: [ Sighs ]

********************************************

Tek: Okay, take a look. This is the killer's video file. All right, this is a bird's-eye view of the murder. Very grisly. Interspersed with a lot of cutesy stuff like skeletons popping up.

Philip: Rex Dimera is one sadistic bastard.

Tek: All right, see if you can break it down. I'm convinced there's a -- there's a method to his madness.

Philip: He's always been into computers and gadgets. This little documentary is going to cost him everything.

Tek: Well, let's just hope. If we can get a print off the whiskey bottle, it'll be a slam-dunk.

Philip: Right. Come on.

********************************************

Hope: Bo, you've been quiet for so long, you're scaring me. Whose prints were on that bottle?

Shawn-D: Hey. Are those the results from forensics? Rex's paws must be all over the murder weapon. Can I see?

Bo: No. We got a problem.

********************************************

Roman: Go. Officer, book him.

Man: Yes, sir.

Roman: Do what the man says.

Roman: Enjoy your stay, Rex.

Rex: You'll never be able to keep me in here.

Roman: We'll see about that.

Rex: You bastard. You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Roman: If you need anything, you just, uh, call the guard.

Rex: You know, I bet you get a real buzz from seeing me behind bars. You think locking up one Dimera, you've silenced us all. Well, you're wrong. Hey, you think Stefano and Tony were bad? Wait until you see what I'm capable of.

********************************************

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

********************************************

Victor: You always used to get a stiff neck when you were troubled.

Caroline: I'm still in shock over Maggie. Victor, you should have seen her at the hospital. My beautiful friend, a gentle soul -- who could have done this?

Victor: Shh.

Caroline: Did you come all the way over here because you were worried about me? You're so kind.

Victor: You're the only person in Salem that thinks so. How's the headache?

Caroline: Oh, better. I can't believe that Nicole won't let you pamper her like this.

Victor: She's too busy being resentful.

Caroline: Why? She has the whole world at her fingertips.

Victor: She has a knack for biting the hand that feeds her.

Caroline: But why?

Victor: Nicole and I disagree on a lot of things.

Caroline: Your grandson Brady? Is that still a problem?

Victor: I didn't mention this earlier, but I've offered Nicole a divorce -- freedom from her life as a kiriakis, as well as a decent settlement.

Caroline: And has she agreed?

Victor: Not yet.

Caroline: What if she refuses?

Victor: That's not an option.

Caroline: Oh, I'm sorry. The man at the bar wants to pay his tab and be on his way. I'll be right back. I'll be right back.

Victor: Nicole will give me a divorce and stay away from my grandson. If she doesn't, she'll live to regret it... or die.

********************************************

Brady: Mnh-mnh.

Nicole: No, no, no, no. No, don't say anything. Just close your eyes and relax.

[ Zipper unzips ]

Brady: Whoa -- whoa. No, no, no -- wait a second. Nicole --

Nicole: I thought you wanted me.

Brady: No, what I meant was I want you to get dressed and -- and meet me downstairs.

Nicole: Too late.

Brady: We need to talk.

Nicole: Well, there's, um... talking, and there's talking.

Brady: This is important, Nicole, please.

Nicole: Can't it wait?

Brady: Something's happened.

********************************************

Cassie: I wish Rex and I had never come to Salem. From the second we set foot in this godforsaken town, things have gone wrong for us.

Mimi: Like you had it good before?

Cassie: We were like royalty.

Mimi: You were prisoners on Stefano's island.

Cassie: Don't be ridiculous.

Mimi: Okay, then -- lab rats.

Cassie: One minute you're nice to me, and the next, you're mean.

Mimi: I was trying to be real, Cassie. It's not like you guys were ever little princesses and princes. You're here because Stefano and Dr. Rolf played god with Kate Roberts and Roman Brady's DNA.

Cassie: Shut up.

[ Sighs ]

Mimi: Aren't you tired of pretending, Cassie?

Cassie: As far as the rest of this world is concerned, Tony and Marlena are Rex and my parents, Stefano Dimera is my grandfather, and Kate and Roman mean nothing to me.

Mimi: That's a lie... and it's really stressing Rex out and giving him those awful headaches. You know, maybe if you two hadn't have kept this a secret, none of this would have ever happened.

Cassie: What is that supposed to mean?

Mimi: Maybe none of these good, decent people would have been murdered.

Cassie: You really think that -- that Rex is guilty, don't you?

********************************************

Roman: You know what, Rex? I've already read you your rights, so if you want to say anything incriminating, please do.

Rex: You have no right to keep me here.

Roman: You've sealed your own fate when you murdered Maggie Horton.

Man: Sir.

Roman: What is it?

Man: Mr. Dimera's lawyer is here.

Roman: Good. Maybe your lawyer will talk some sense into you.

Rex: [ Groans ] No. Not now.

Roman: Well, well, well, look who crawled out from under a rock.

Cameron: Ha. I'm going to take that as a compliment.

Roman: Been a long while, Miss Reese.

Cameron: Luckily for you and the men in blue. Congratulations on your promotion, Commander.

Roman: Yeah. Thank you. But I would gladly give up the title if it meant getting Abe back.

Cameron: Yes. We lost a good man.

Roman: We lost the best man.

Cameron: Now, Roman, you know that Abe and I had our differences, but I'm going to miss him.

Roman: You know, Miss Reese, considering your past with Abe, are you really sure you want to represent this kid? 'Cause it's very possible he could be responsible for all three murders.

Cameron: Rex is innocent.

Roman: Yeah, right.

Cameron: The count asked me to look after the boy.

Roman: You just never could say no to the Dimeras, could you?

Cameron: Roman, you have the wrong guy. As far as I can tell, he's a highly intelligent, well-mannered young man. There's no way he could be involved in something like this.

Roman: All right, Miss Reese. After you.

********************************************

Hope: Couldn't the lab I.D. the fingerprints?

Bo: Yeah.

Hope: Who do they belong to?

Shawn-D: Rex -- Rex, of course.

Hope: Bo.

Hope: There must be some mistake here. This --

Bo: Nope, it says right there. The prints on the bottle used to bludgeon Maggie Horton were Caroline Brady’s. They're ma's.

********************************************

Philip: Ugh. This is horrific.

Tek: Yeah, that graphic footage they show you in basic training doesn't begin to prepare you for something like this.

Philip: Yeah. What's in the box?

Tek: All right, this is some of the evidence we've collected so far. All right, I want you to compare it to the video images, see if we missed anything.

Philip: Sure.

Tek: Okay, if you find any clues, we're going to go back to the crime scene while it's still cordoned off. All right?

Shawn-D: Grandma Caroline?

Hope: Surely hers can't be the only set of prints on that whiskey bottle.

Bo: They are.

Shawn-D: No, that's impossible.

Bo: I'm telling you what it says on that paper.

Shawn-D: All right, well -- well, maybe Rex planted the fingerprints on there. I mean, he's a Dimera. Maybe he's trying to make the Bradys take the fall.

Hope: Why Caroline?

********************************************

Caroline: I'm sorry. Where were we?

Victor: Listen, you're exhausted. You've had a wretched night. I shouldn't be troubling you again with my marital woes.

Caroline: No, no. You stay. You're a friend. I'm concerned about you. The situation with Nicole sounds serious.

Victor: You hit the nail on the head before. She and my grandson are getting way too close.

Caroline: Well, there's something else happened.

Victor: Caught them together again tonight.

Caroline: Oh.

Victor: Well, not in bed or anything. In an alley, it was dark, they were in the middle of a heated conversation.

Caroline: Victor, it is Halloween. You know, kids go out, and they have lots of parties...

Victor: Nicole is not a kid, and she's my wife, damn it, not Brady’s.

Caroline: You probably don't want to hear this --

Victor: But you're going to tell me anyway.

Caroline: Well, I -- sounds like you're jealous of young people.

Victor: On the contrary. I'm concerned for my grandson's safety. I have to do everything I can to protect him from Nicole, and I mean everything.

********************************************

Nicole: How'd it happen?

Brady: Well, uh, Mickey and Maggie were attacked in their home by a person dressed all in black and wearing a Halloween mask. Nicole, when I saw you earlier this evening, you were...

Nicole: Dressed in black and burning a Halloween mask.

Brady: And you said that Maggie would never testify against you.

Nicole: Yeah. So?

Brady: So? Nicole, this is driving me nuts, okay? This -- this string of murders, all the suspicion around you. Did you do it? Tell me, please. Did you kill Maggie Horton?

Nicole: You pretend to be my friend. You get me to open up, then you turn righteous and throw that headline in my face and accuse me of murdering Maggie Horton?

Brady: I asked you a question, okay? I'm just here to listen to what you ha e to say.

Nicole: Well, go to hell.

Brady: Wait, is -- is that your answer?

Nicole: You're a trusted friend, baby, and you've been slumming, and now the heat's on you, and you're ready to throw me to the wolves. I can't believe I ever trusted you.

Brady: Would you just wait a second?

Nicole: Brady.

********************************************

Hope: Why would Rex Dimera use a bottle with Caroline's prints on it to kill Maggie? Why? It doesn't make any sense.

Bo: Actually, it's brilliant.

Shawn-D: The bastard is trying to frame her.

Hope: Now wait a minute. Come on. No one in their right minds would ever believe that you Mother, your grandmother, would be capable of something like this. She wouldn't hurt a fly.

Bo: Rex may be trying to throw an element of doubt into this investigation, split our focus, force us to go after one of our own.

Hope: Why Caroline? Why not you or me -- Shawn?

Shawn-D: What did grandma ever do to Rex?

Bo: This isn't personal. If Rex is the killer --

Shawn-D: "If"?

Bo: It's as if the Dimeras are sending the Bradys a message.

Shawn-D: What message?

Bo: If they can cast suspicion on the woman who holds this family together, then they can get to any one of us.

Shawn-D: Where's Rex? Where is he? 'Cause I'm going to kill him.

********************************************

Caroline: I know Brady had a troubled youth. He's grown up now. He strikes me as a highly civilized young man.

Victor: He's a red-blooded boy, therefore vulnerable. My wife may seem like an angel, but underneath, she's as conniving as they come -- seductive, evil.

Caroline: You don't mean that.

Victor: Oh, yes, I do, and with good reason. I want you to remember that if anything ever happens to me.

Caroline: Are you implying that Nicole might try to kill you?

Victor: I wouldn't put it past her.

Caroline: But you have a bodyguard.

Victor: So did Caesar. Look what happened to him.

Caroline: You're scaring me.

Victor: That's not my intention.

Caroline: I'm awfully scared as it is. I mean, everything goes on in Salem. Abe and jack and Maggie...

Victor: I guess we're all more aware of our mortality. I'm getting my affairs in order, getting Nicole out of the family, seeing to it that all the people I care about are taken care of.

Caroline: Why are you telling me all this?

Victor: Because you're one of those people.

********************************************

Mimi: I don't know what to think anymore.

Cassie: You're supposed to be in love with my brother.

Mimi: I am, and it kills me to think he might have had anything to do with these murders.

Cassie: Then don’t.

Mimi: Easier said than done.

********************************************

Roman: Rex! Rex, calm down or I'll have you restrained!

Cameron: Don't threaten my client. I'm Cameron Reese, your father's attorney.

Rex: Buzz off.

Cameron: Now listen, you are really going to have to control your temper.

Rex: I don't need you, okay? I'll be out of here before the night's over.

Roman: Really? And just what makes you think I'm going to turn a killer loose?

Rex: [ Laughing ]

********************************************

Tek: Any luck yet?

Philip: I'm trying to match this mask to the one the killer wore. I think there might be some kind of a serial number. Bingo. All right, this might be exactly what we're looking for.

********************************************

Bo: Oh, where are you going?

Shawn-D: Rex is trying to incriminate my grandmother?

Bo: Don't fly off the handle here. You can't give the Dimeras any reason to cry foul play.

Hope: That's exactly what they're looking for.

Shawn-D: So, what are you going to do?

Bo: I don't have a choice. I'm going to go question my own mother, interrogate her as I would any potential suspect.

********************************************

Caroline: That's very dear of you to want to make sure I'm taken care of.

Victor: Of all the women that I've known, you're the most genuine. In a world full of sycophants and phonies, you're the real mccoy.

Caroline: Well, thank you. But, I mean, it's not necessary to do anything. I mean, I'm not rolling in money, but, you know, I'm very comfortable.

Victor: Well, we share a son. I've always considered myself very fortunate in that.

Caroline: Don't say any more. Okay?

Victor: Well, I best be getting home, make sure my wife isn't seducing my grandson.

Shawn: I'd appreciate it if you'd let go of my wife's hand.

********************************************

Brady: No, no, no, we can't do this. [ Nervously ] Ha ha.

Nicole: Why not?

Brady: I can think of a dozen reasons, Nicole.

Nicole: Remember that time you were helping me work out? Do you know how turned on I was?

Brady: Yeah -- suppose we just forget that ever happened, okay?

Nicole: Suppose we don’t. Come on, Brady, you haven't been with a woman since Chloe left. I haven't been with a man -- well, at least one remotely my age. So why don't we throw caution to the wind and help each other out?

********************************************

Roman: All right, Rex, cut the theatrics. We're not done questioning you yet.

Cameron: Trust me, Rex, I will tell you which questions to answer and which ones to ignore.

Rex: Look, I'm not answering any more stupid questions, okay? And I don't need some ambulance-chasing attorney coaching me on what to say. I am light-years ahead of both of you.

Cameron: Well, retainer or not, I don't have to put up with this. I'll see you outside, Roman.

Roman: Way to go, son.

Rex: Don't you call me son.

Roman: You are just alienating everybody who's come in here to help you.

Rex: You're pathetic. You know that? You can't hold onto your wife. Your daughter is a raving loon, and you're just a tired, old cop who hasn't a clue about who really holds the cards.

Roman: Really. Well, there's only one of us locked up in a cage right now. And it sure as hell isn't me.

********************************************

Shawn: Perhaps I need to make sure that you don't seduce my wife.

Victor: I'm sorry. I know how this must look.

Caroline: Victor came by after he heard what happened to Maggie.

Victor: I'm just here as a friend, Shawn. I meant no disrespect.

Shawn: We suffered a terrible loss tonight, and you're making it worse.

Victor: I'll go.

Caroline: Did you have to be so rude?

Shawn: The man knows your defenses are down, and he's preying on you.

Caroline: Don't get yourself worked up, Shawn.

Shawn: Him holding your hand and smiling like a crocodile -- the old bastard.

Caroline: Victor is Bo's father, and he is a dear friend.

Bo: Hey. Good. You're still up.

Shawn: How could you sleep at a time like this?

Caroline: What brings you here, Bo?

Bo: It's about Maggie Horton's murder.

Caroline: Did you find out about the killer?

Bo: I need to ask you some questions, ma.

********************************************

Brady: No, no. Enough. Enough.

Nicole: I'm just getting started.

Brady: Nicole, this isn't right.

Nicole: The whole world isn't right. It's all screwed up. You just have to read the headlines. The one thing that's not a lie right now, Brady, is the heat between us.

Brady: No, no, Nicole, shush, no. This is not going to happen. We're not going to do this.

Nicole: I've seen Henderson bring you your mail. What's under those plain brown wrappers, Brady? Is... what's in those magazines any better than this?

Nicole: You wanted me to drop the masks. Well, I did. You see something you like, go ahead, take it.

Brady: I have an idea. How about you put this on, huh?

Nicole: Okay. You can't blame a girl for trying.

Brady: Nicole, I am flattered. Really, I am.

Nicole: No, you are more than flattered, honey. You are on fire.

Brady: Good night.

Nicole: Brady, wait.

Brady: What, Nicole? What is it?

Nicole: Something I had made up for your grandfather a while back.

Brady: You were going to give these to my grandfather as a gift?

Nicole: Yeah. In happier days. But our marriage is a bust, so I... I want you to have 'em.

Victor: Still trying to seduce my grandson, eh? I'll see you in your room right away, Brady.

Victor: I want an answer about the divorce. Good night.

********************************************

Brady: So, are you going to chew me out like you always do?

Victor: I'm sorry about what happened in the alley earlier. I was very hard on you.

Brady: That's all?

Victor: I need a favor.

Brady: From me?

Victor: I want you to promise me something. Promise me you'll never get involved with Nicole.

********************************************

Nicole: Bastard.

********************************************

Victor: All I want is for you to be happy, Brady. And I know in the long run, she'll never ever make you happy. Honor me by giving me your word on this.

Brady: Yes. Yes, I promise.

Victor: I knew I could count on you.

Victor: And, remember, a gentleman's word is the only thing he takes to his grave.

********************************************

Nicole: Victor, you may have won the battle, but I'm going to win the war.

********************************************

Caroline: I saw Maggie at the hospital, just before she passed away, but I don't know anything about the murder.

Shawn: What's happened, son?

Bo: Roman arrested Rex Dimera.

Caroline: No way that boy is a killer.

Bo: Well, Shawn found a piece of evidence at the Dimera mansion. He turned it in to us.

Caroline: What kind of evidence?

Bo: It's a black sweatshirt with a hood on it -- the kind the killer was wearing in the video. It had some blood on the sleeve. Forensics I.D.'d it as Maggie's blood.

Shawn: Oh, saints preserve us.

Bo: That's not all. A weapon was found at the scene of the crime.

Caroline: What kind of weapon?

Bo: It was a whiskey bottle. Apparently, the killer used it to bludgeon Maggie.

Caroline: Oh, god. That's so cruel.

Shawn: Did the bottle belong to one of the suspects?

Bo: No, sir.

Caroline: Well, were there fingerprints on it?

Bo: Yes, ma. There were.

Caroline: Whose?

Bo: They're yours.

********************************************

Mimi: I've meant every word I've ever said to Rex. I've never been with anybody before him. And I wouldn't have if I didn't love him with all my heart.

Cassie: You have to believe in his innocence.

Philip: Well, that's not going to be easy.

Cassie: What's happening in there?

Philip: Comparing Rex's mask to the killer's -- if it matches... I'm sorry, Cass. I wish things were different.

Cameron: No, I am not discussing this with you, Bart. Put me through to the Count.

Philip: I gotta go, you guys.

Cameron: Well, fine. Tell Count Dimera that his son is refusing to cooperate. And as far as I can tell, Rex seems pretty damn guilty.

********************************************

Hope: What have you guys come up with?

Shawn-D: Anything we can pin on Rex?

Tek: Philip's just locked in to an interesting detail.

Philip: Let me see if I can make this a little clearer. We have the serial number from Rex's mask, and I'm trying to compare it to the one the killer wore in the video.

Shawn-D: Oh, right, that's good.

Philip: If it matches, Rex is toast. If not... we got the wrong guy.

********************************************

Nicole: It's going to be a long night, Brady... unless you give in to temptation.

Brady: No. No, forget it.

Nicole: See something you want? Take it.

********************************************

Cassie: Roman, could I please have a moment alone with my brother?

Roman: You know what? I think it would do Rex good to talk to somebody he can trust.

Mimi: Oh, then me, too, then.

Roman: No. One at a time.

Cassie: Hmm.

********************************************

Roman: Mimi, there's a reason I let her go first. There's something I want to say to you.

Mimi: What?

Roman: I have known you since you were a baby, so I feel like that entitles me to give you a little advice. Be careful. Rex is a very angry young man, very dangerous. And should he get out of here, I'd hate to see him vent all that on you.

********************************************

Caroline: My fingerprints?

Bo: That's right.

Caroline: Were there any other fingerprints on the bottle, as well?

Bo: No, ma. Just yours.

Shawn: Are you accusing your own mother of murder?

Bo: I got a job to do here, pop. I'm in charge of this investigation. I can't be partisan.

Caroline: No, of course not. Shawn, please.

Bo: Where were you tonight?

Shawn: She was at the quilting party at st. Luke’s. They do it every Halloween. You should know that.

Bo: Yeah, I... that's right. I-I'm sorry, ma. With everything going on, I totally forgot about it. Oh... you have the best alibi in the world.

Caroline: Actually, I never made it to the party.

Bo: Okay. You want to tell me where you were?

Caroline: Why? Are you going to arrest me?

********************************************

Tek: This is just what we need to put the Dimera kid away for good.

Hope: Thank god. Caroline's fingerprints are on the murder weapon.

Philip: Yeah, I think we got something.

Hope: I don't believe it.

Tek: Wait a second. What is this?

Hope: Oh, no.

Philip: No, no, no, no. Come on, come on!

Tek: Clear!

Shawn-D: Are you okay, mom?

Hope: Yeah, you okay?

Shawn-D: Yeah.

Philip: Even my backup is fried.

Tek: Whoever programmed this little stunt is some kind of computer wizard.

Shawn-D: Damn you, Rex.

********************************************

Cassie: I hate seeing you like this.

Rex: Look, I won't be here long. What is it?

Cassie: Philip said they're checking out your Halloween mask and comparing it to the one the killer used in the video.

Rex: Look, they won't be able to prove anything.

Cassie: What about the blood on the sleeve of your sweatshirt? It was Maggie Horton’s. The lab results proved that.

Rex: Shawn Brady contaminated it when he brought it in. Any decent criminal attorney should be able to get that thrown out.

Cassie: I hope you're right.

Rex: They shouldn't have done this to me.

Cassie: What are you talking about?

Rex: There are going to be other murders. The next victim's already been tagged.

********************************************

(On the next Days of Our Lives)

Hope: I don't understand why your mother's not cooperating. It's not like her.

Bo: She's got a secret. Why the hell won't she tell me where she was?

Victor: I'll destroy Sami for you. You destroy Nicole for me.

Kate: Deal.

Sami: God, I don't know what I ever saw in you.

Lucas: You saw a sperm donor.

Sami: You bastard!

Lucas: Just get outta here! Let me drink in peace!
