[MUSIC PLAYS]
NED: THAT'S THE LEAST
THAT I CAN DO
JUST FOR YOU
JUST FOR YOU
JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIES
WHEN THE HERO GETS THE GIRL
YOU BROUGHT A HAPPY ENDING
INTO MY WORLD
EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT YOU
[MUSIC STOPS]
CHLOE: IF YOU KEEP LETTING ME
SLEEP PAST NOON, I'M GOING
TO HAVE TO RECYCLE LAST YEAR'S
LINE.
NED: WELL, IT WORKED.
YOU LOOK AS RADIANT AS EVER.
NO ONE WOULD GUESS THAT
YOU SPENT A NIGHT IN
A SNAKE-FILLED RAVINE.
CHLOE: OH, IT WAS MORE
OF A MEADOW.
AND I ONLY SAW TWO SNAKES.
NED: NOW, WOULD THAT BE
INCLUDING OR IN ADDITION TO JAX?
SHALL WE GO MAKE A DENT
IN THE CASHMERE MARKET?
CHLOE: COULDN'T WE MEET
SOMEWHE OTHER THAN
THE PORT CHARLES GRILL?
NED: WHAT, YOU'RE TIRED
OF THE GRILL?
CHLOE: THE LAST TIME
YOU DINED WITH YOUR WIFE THERE,
SHE HAD CHESTNUT HAIR.
NED: THE STAFF GOT USED
TO MY MARRIAGE GO-ROUND ABOUT
TWO WIVES AGO.
CHLOE: IT'S FRED WOODMAN
I'M CONCERNED WITH.
NED: OH, NO, NO, NO.
FRED E-MAILED ME THIS MORNING.
HE ABSOLUTELY ADORED YOU.
CHLOE: HE ADORED ME WHEN
I WAS ALEXIS.
NED: WELL, TECHNICALLY,
WHEN ALEXIS WAS YOU.
CHLOE: HAS IT OCCURRED
TO YOU THAT WE MIGHT HAVE
A PROBLEM HERE?
NED: ACTUALLY, IT'S A GOOD
THING THAT FRED IS BASED
ON THE WEST COAST.
CHLOE: AND WHEN HE SUMMONS ME
TO SHOW HIM MY SKETCHES?
DO YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT?
NED: UH, NO.
NO PLAN.
WE THRIVE ON IMPROVISATION.
MR. AND MRS. PLAY-IT-BY-EAR.

EDWARD: I'VE FINALLY HIT
ON A FOOLPROOF PLAN TO EXPOSE
NED'S MARRIAGE AS A FRAUD.
MM-HMM.
BUT NO DETAILS OVER THE PHONE,
GERTRUDE.
JUST BE PREPARED TO BE
DELIGHTFULLY SURPRISED.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW
TO TURN THIS SITUATION
TO MY ADVANTAGE.
MM-HMM.
JASON: YEAH, WHAT ELSE
IS NEW?
EDWARD: I HAVE TO GO NOW,
GERTRUDE.
GET OVER HERE JUST AS SOON
AS YOU CAN, PLEASE, ALL RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, JASON, WHEN
YOU RESIGNED FROM THIS FAMILY,
YOU FORFEITED YOUR EAVESDROPPING
RIGHTS AND ALSO YOUR RIGHTS
TO ENTER UNANNOUNCED.
JASON: I RANG THE BELL.
NOBODY CAME.
EDWARD: REGINALD IS
IN THE THROES OF A PERSONAL
CRISIS, WHICH HE'S CALLOUSLY
INFLICTING ON ALL OF US.
WHY -- WHY ARE YOU HERE?
JASON: YOU TELL ME.
I GOT A MESSAGE MARKED "URGENT."
EDWARD: NOT FROM ME.
A.J.: AH, JASON, NICE WORK.
YOU INTERRUPTED MY HONEYMOON.
MUST BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.

HANNAH: DOESN'T IT FEEL LIKE
WE'VE BEEN GONE FOR LONGER THAN
A FEW DAYS?
SONNY: WE'RE NOT OFFICIALLY
BACK.
HANNAH: AND THAT MAKES IT
OFFICIAL?
SONNY: ALMOST.
I HAVEN'T THANKED YOU YET.
HANNAH: AND THEN WHAT?
YOU'LL COME UP WITH ANOTHER
STALL?
YOU'RE NOT READY TO DEAL
WITH JUAN, ARE YOU?
SONNY: WELL, I'M AS READY
AS I'LL EVER BE.
HANNAH: WELL, THE SOONER
YOU TELL HIM ABOUT HIS MOTHER --
SONNY: THE SOONER HE'LL
HATE ME -- IF HE'S LUCKY.

BOBBIE: PICKLE RELISH.
PUT PICKLE RELISH ON THE LIST
BECAUSE WE'RE ALMOST -- WHOA!
ELIZABETH: OH, JEEZ!
BOBBIE: OH, GOSH, I'M SORRY.
ELIZABETH: SORRY.
BOBBIE: IT'S OK.
I DISTRACTED YOU.
ELIZABETH: NO, NO, NO.
IT WAS ME.
BOBBIE: IS SOMETHING WRONG?
ELIZABETH: YEAH -- NO.
I'M JUST CLUMSY.
ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE.

EMILY: OH, WE CAN'T.
JUAN: WHY NOT?
WE'RE LEGAL NOW.
THERE'S NO PARENT SQUAD
ON OUR TRAIL.
EMILY: YEAH, BUT I STILL
DON'T --
[JUKEBOX PLAYS]
JUAN: LOOK, YOUR REFLEXES ARE
TELLING YOU WE SHOULD GO HIDE
UNDER THE TABLE.
WE'RE GOING TO FIX THAT RIGHT
NOW.
SINGER: CAN THIS BE TRUE?
TELL ME, CAN THIS BE REAL?
HOW CAN I PUT INTO WORDS
WHAT I FEEL?

[JUKEBOX PLAYS]
SINGERS: YOUR LOVE
IS LIKE A RIVER
PEACEFUL AND DEEP
YOUR SOUL IS LIKE A SECRET
THAT I NEVER COULD KEEP
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
ELIZABETH: OH, BOBBIE?
WOULD YOU HATE ME IF I WANTED
TO LEAVE EARLY?
BOBBIE: WHEN DID YOU HAVE
IN MIND?
ELIZABETH: SOON.
LIKE NOW.
BOBBIE: OH.
ARE YOU OK?
ELIZABETH: YEAH, YEAH.
I'VE JUST GOT THIS HEADACHE
AND I KNOW IT'LL GO AWAY
IF I JUST REST.
BOBBIE: WHY DON'T YOU LIE
DOWN UPSTAIRS?
ELIZABETH: YOU KNOW, I THINK
THE WALK WOULD DO ME GOOD --
THE FRESH AIR.
BOBBIE: OK, SURE.
GO AHEAD. NO PROBLEM.
ELIZABETH: OK.
THANK YOU, AND I'LL MAKE UP
THE TIME.
BOBBIE: HEY, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THE HOURS.
JUST FEEL BETTER.
SINGER: MORE PRECIOUS
THAN ANY DIAMOND OR PEARL
THEY BROKE THE MOLD

EMILY: SHE'S NOT DONE
WITH HER SHIFT YET, IS SHE?
BOBBIE, IS EVERYTHING OK
WITH ELIZABETH?
BOBBIE: UH, WELL,
I DON'T KNOW.
SHE WENT HOME WITH A HEADACHE.
EMILY: ARE YOU SURE THAT'S
THE ONLY THING THAT'S WRONG?
BOBBIE: I COULDN'T SWEAR
TO IT.
EMILY: HMM.
JUAN: ELIZABETH?
HEY, DID YOU SEE WHERE ELIZABETH
WENT?
HANNAH: YEAH, SHE --
SONNY: YOU GOT A MINUTE?
WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
SOMETHING.
JUAN: SORRY.
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.
EMILY: UM, MAYBE YOU SHOULD
LISTEN TO HIM.
I MEAN, AREN'T YOU CURIOUS
AS TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY?
JUAN: WHAT ABOUT ELIZABETH?
EMILY: I'LL CALL HER.
JUAN: ALL RIGHT,
WELL, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOU GOT
TO SAY, SAY IT.
SONNY: I APOLOGIZE
FOR THE OTHER DAY.
YOU DIDN'T DESERVE THAT.
I LOST MY TEMPER BECAUSE I WAS
CONCERNED.
AND YOU WERE BADLY HURT, SO --
JUAN: RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.
YEAH, YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T WANT
ME AROUND.
UH-HUH.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE IT'S
NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT.
SONNY: I'M -- I'M CLEAR
ON THAT.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN HARD FOR YOU.
IT'S BEEN HARD FOR ME, TOO.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING -- YOU DON'T KNOW ME
AS WELL AS YOU THINK YOU DO.
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY MARRIAGE
TO LILY.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DIED.
AND I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU WHAT
HAPPENED, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
YOU HAVE, AND THEN WE'LL SEE
WHERE WE STAND.
JUAN: ALL RIGHT, TELL ME.
SONNY: WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
NOT HERE.
THERE'S SOMETHING I THINK
YOU SHOULD SEE.
EMILY: I THINK YOU SHOULD GO.
I MEAN, IF YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT
MATTERS TO ME, I THINK --
JUAN: LET'S GO.
EMILY: JUAN'S GOT
A SMART MOUTH.
HE ISN'T REALLY LIKE THAT,
THOUGH.
I MEAN, HE REALLY CARES ABOUT
SONNY.
HE'S JUST --
HE'S AFRAID HE'S GOING TO GET
HURT AGAIN.
HANNAH: TRUST ME, I KNOW
THE FEELING.
EMILY: SO THEN DO YOU THINK
THAT THEY COULD WORK IT OUT?
HANNAH: SONNY WANTS TO.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT.

FELICIA: HI.
MAC'S NOT HERE YET?
BOBBIE: UH-UH.
FELICIA: OH.
RUNNING EARLY, I GUESS.
BOBBIE: OH, WELL,
GOOD, BECAUSE WE NEED TO DISCUSS
SOMETHING.
I'VE CHANGED MY MIND,
AND I THINK WE'VE GOT TO TELL
MAC THAT MY BROTHER MAY BE
WORKING, HOWEVER INADVERTENTLY,
WITH CESAR FAISON.

A.J.: ALL RIGHT, FINE.
YOU WANT TO STAND THERE,
PRETEND THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
A CLUE, FINE.
BUT NOBODY'S FOOLED,
LEAST OF ALL ME.
EDWARD: HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE
TRULY NOT INVOLVED --
A.J.: DON'T LET HIM OFF
THE HOOK.
JASON: INVOLVED IN WHAT?
EDWARD: YOU ARE AWARE
OF LABOR PROBLEMS?
A.J.: AWARE OF IT?
HE STAGED THE THING.
EDWARD: E.L.Q. HAS BEEN HURT
BADLY BY THIS WORK SLOWDOWN.
A.J.: WHY ARE YOU EXPLAINING
THE PUPPETS TO THE MAN WHO IS
PULLING THE STRINGS?
WHY DO YOU THINK HIS WAREHOUSE
IS THE ONLY ONE WORKING AT TOP
SPEED?
SO YOU GOT YOUR UNION LACKEYS
ON THIS.
I'M JUST CURIOUS, WHAT'D IT
COST YOU?
JASON: I REALLY DON'T HAVE
TIME FOR THIS.
A.J.: YOU HAVE NOTHING BUT
TIME, JASON.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
YOU HAVE NO LIFE.
REGINALD: WHERE IS SHE?
EDWARD: OH, SPEAKING OF LABOR
PROBLEMS.
REGINALD: WHERE'S LETICIA?
A.J.: HAWAII.
REGINALD: STILL?
A.J.: YEAH, AND I PLAN
TO JOIN THEM AS SOON AS I'M
FINISHED CLEANING UP JASON'S
MESS HERE.
REGINALD: YOU KNOW -- AH! --
ANY HUMANE EMPLOYER WOULD'VE
CALLED IN RELIEF BY NOW.
A.J.: YEAH, WELL, LETICIA IS
THE RELIEF, REGINALD.
REGINALD: YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
LABOR LAWS.
EDWARD: SHE IS ON A BEACH.
SHE IS NOT ON AN ASSEMBLY LINE.
A.J.: LOOK, WE'RE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING HERE,
REGINALD, SO YOU'LL HAVE
TO EXCUSE US.
REGINALD: YOU KNOW,
I THINK YOU'VE BEEN EXCUSED
PLENTY ALREADY.
A.J.: I BEG YOUR PARDON?
REGINALD: FOR YOUR
CALLOUSNESS AND YOUR RANK
INDIFFERENCE TOWARDS PEOPLE'S
FEELINGS.
EDWARD: OH, FOR CRYING
OUT LOUD.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF E-MAIL?
WHY DON'T YOU JUST PICK UP
THE PHONE AND CALL HER?
REGINALD: AH.
GREAT, YOU KNOW, SPOKEN LIKE
A MAN WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY
NO CLUE AS TO A PERSON'S
NEEDS.
LOOK, IF YOU'RE -- IF YOU'RE
TORTURING THESE PEOPLE,
YOU HAVE MY BLESSINGS, OK?
AND IF YOU'RE NOT, WOULD YOU TRY
TO PENCIL IT IN, PLEASE?
EDWARD: NOW, NOW,
JASON, JUST BE PRACTICAL.
AS A MEMBER OF THE E.L.Q. BOARD,
YOU STAND TO LOSE MONEY ON THIS.
COULDN'T YOU JUST TALK TO ONE
OF YOUR UNION FRIENDS?
JASON: I HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE SLOWDOWN.
A.J.: IF YOU'RE TRYING
TO TAKE ME DOWN, JASE, AT LEAST
HAVE THE GUTS TO ADMIT IT.

A.J.: YOUR GESTURE FIZZLED.
GIVING UP MICHAEL, YOU THOUGHT
THAT YOU'D LOOK LIKE
THE BIG HERO.
EXCEPT CARLY SAW RIGHT
THROUGH IT.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT PROVED
TO ME, JASON?
YOU REALLY DON'T CARE.
MICHAEL MEANS NOTHING TO YOU,
EXCEPT AS A WEAPON TO HURT ME.
JASON: THAT'S ALL IT WAS EVER
ABOUT FOR YOU, WASN'T IT --
TAKING MICHAEL, MARRYING CARLY?
IT WAS A WAY TO WIN.
DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT THEM
AT ALL?
A.J.: COURSE I CARE.
THEY'RE MY FAMILY.
GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.
NOW, YOU WANT TO STAGE THESE
LITTLE STUNTS, FINE.
FINE.
I'VE -- I'VE HANDLED STRIKES
BEFORE.
JASON: A.J., THERE IS
NO STRIKE.
THIS IS A SLOWDOWN, WHICH MEANS
THE UNION'S WILLING TO DEAL.
A.J.: MM-HMM.
AND I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A LIST
OF YOUR DEMANDS.
JASON: NO, I'M NOT
YOUR UNION REP.
HIS NAME IS TOM SAUNDERS.
A.J.: I'M AWARE OF WHAT
HIS NAME IS, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD
FROM HIM.
AND IF SAUNDERS HAS SOMETHING
TO SAY TO ME, HE CAN --
JASON: HE SAID IT
TO YOU FOUR MONTHS AGO.
DIDN'T YOU THE BENEFITS
WISH LIST?
WENT OUT TO ALL THE EMPLOYERS.
A.J.: HEALTH CARE?
JASON: HEALTH CARE.
A.J.: THAT WAS FROM
FANTASYLAND.
JASON: RIGHT, RIGHT.
WELL, MR. C.E.O., WHAT YOU DO IS
YOU CIRCLE THE ONES YOU CAN LIVE
WITH, YOU CROSS OUT THE ONES
YOU CAN'T, THE REST YOU REVISE
SO IT WORKS FOR BOTH SIDES.
IT'S CALLED A NEGOTIATION.
EDWARD: I ASSUME THAT
CORINTHOS-MORGAN HAS COME UP
WITH A COMPROMISE, HUH?
WELL, WOULD YOU MIND IF I TOOK
A LOOK AT IT?
JASON: LIKE YOU SAID,
I'M ON THE BOARD.
EDWARD: A.J., CONTACT
TOM SAUNDERS AND TELL HIM THAT
WE'LL BE WILLING TO OFFER
A PACKAGE THAT'S SIMILAR TO --
A.J.: SIMILAR TO
THE UNDERWORLD EMPIRE.
I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT.
EDWARD: JASON, I'D LIKE
A WORD.
JASON: NOT INTERESTED.
EDWARD: IN MICHAEL?
I THINK YOU ARE.

[TAPE PLAYS]
LUCKY: I HEARD YOU KNEEL
BESIDE YOUR BED TONIGHT
KEEP A LITTLE PRAYER
FOR ME IN SIGHT
KNOW THAT I WILL BE THERE
WHEN YOU CALL
AND KNOW THAT I WILL CATCH YOU
IF YOU MIGHT FALL
ELIZABETH
GO TO SLEEP
ALL I WANT
IS THIS
ELIZABETH

FELICIA: YOU KNOW AS WELL
AS I DO THAT LUKE IS ALLERGIC
TO THE POLICE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HE WOULD SAY
RIGHT NOW IF HE HEARD
YOU SUGGEST TURNING HIM IN?
BOBBIE: NOT TURNING HIM IN.
TRACKING HIM DOWN.
WE DON'T HAVE THE CONTACTS,
BUT MAC DOES.
FELICIA: YES, HE'LL CALL
INTERPOL.
DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT'S
A GOOD IDEA?
BOBBIE: WELL, I THINK THAT'S
A LOT BETTER THAN LETTING
MY BROTHER WALK INTO FAISON'S
TRAP.
FELICIA: LOOK, DON'T YOU SEE?
I AM THE TRAP.
FAISON SET ME UP TO ROLL OVER
ON LUKE.
MAC: HEY. HI.
BOBBIE: HI.
MAC: NEWS FLASH --
CESAR FAISON HAS DISAPPEARED.

FAISON: EXCUSE ME.
IF YOU WANT THIS DONE
BY EVENING, I HAVE TO GET
STARTED RIGHT AWAY.
MAN: WHO ARE YOU?
FAISON: MY NAME IS SPENCER.
I'M HERE REGARDING THE COMPUTER
UPGRADE YOU REQUESTED.
MAN: OH, YOU FINALLY MADE IT
HERE, HUH?
FAISON: YEAH.
WELL, I'LL NEED AT LEAST A FEW
HOURS.
WELL, UNLESS YOU WANT
TO RESCHEDULE THE WHOLE THING.
MAN: OH, GOD, NO.
I'VE WAITED MONTHS ALREADY.
I'LL BE HOME FOR DINNER
FOR A CHANGE.
FAISON: WELL, GOOD FOR YOU.
[FAISON MUMBLES]
FAISON: HELENA CASSADINE.

JUAN: WHY ARE WE HERE?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVE TO ME
THAT MY MOTHER'S DEAD.
SONNY: YOU AFRAID TO LOOK
AT YOUR MOTHER'S GRAVE?
JUAN: NO.
BUT IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,
THIS PLACE IS --
WHATEVER.
JUAN: ROSES?
SONNY: SHE LOVED THEM.
JUAN: WHO BRINGS THEM? YOU?
SONNY: SHE WAS WILD ABOUT
BABIES.
SHE LOVED KIDS.
SHE'D WATCH THEM, YOU KNOW,
TOTAL STRANGERS FOR HOURS.
I GUESS SHE WAS LOOKING
FOR A LITTLE BIT OF -- LITTLE
BIT OF YOU.
SHE WANTED YOU WHEN SHE CARRIED
YOU, WHEN HER FATHER FORCED
THE ADOPTION, EVEN AFTER.
WHEN SHE TRACKED YOU DOWN,
SHE -- SHE WANTED LIKE CRAZY
TO TAKE YOU BACK.
JUAN: WHY DIDN'T SHE?
SONNY: YOU WERE HAPPY,
YOU KNOW.
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO MESS
WITH THAT.
YOUR HAPPINESS AND SAFETY
MATTERED A LOT TO YOUR MOTHER.
JUAN: WHAT IS IT THAT MATTERS
TO MY FATHER?
SONNY: WHEN DID THEY TELL
YOU YOU WERE ADOPTED?
JUAN: THEY NEVER TOLD ME.
I FOUND AN OLD LETTER.
I MUST HAVE READ IT,
LIKE, A HUNDRED TIMES.
"I ENTRUST MY DAUGHTER'S SON
TO YOU."
IT WAS SIGNED BY
HERNANDO RIVERA.
SONNY: LILY'S FATHER.
JUAN: YEAH, AND YOU'RE
MY FATHER.
ARE YOU GOING TO STAND
AT MY MOTHER'S GRAVE
AND DENY IT?
SONNY: WHEN WERE YOU SO SURE
THAT I WAS YOUR FATHER?
JUAN: FIRST DAY WHEN LILY
BROUGHT YOU TO THE PARK.
SONNY: MM-HMM.
JUAN: WHEN I SAW THE WAY THAT
YOU LOOKED AT EACH OTHER.
LIKE YOU BELONGED TO EACH OTHER.
I GUESS I'M NOT PART OF THAT,
HUH?
SONNY: IF YOU WERE MY SON,
I WOULD TELL YOU RIGHT --
JUAN: GOD, YOU'RE GOING TO --
SONNY: IF YOU --
LISTEN TO ME.
IF YOU WERE MY SON, I WOULD BE
PROUD OF YOU.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU --
YOU'RE NOT.
ON YOUR --
ON YOUR MOTHER'S GRAVE,
I SWEAR TO YOU,
I DIDN'T MEET LILY TILL AFTER
YOU WERE BORN.

SONNY: LILY WAS ONLY 14 WHEN
SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH
MIGUEL MOREZ.
HER FATHER WASN'T HAPPY
WITH THAT, AND RIVERA WAS
THE TYPE OF MAN WHO GOT WHAT
HE WANTED.
WHEN HE FOUND OUT SHE WAS
PREGNANT, HE PUSHED HER TO GIVE
YOU UP.
IS THIS HARD TO BELIEVE?
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE I'M LYING
HERE?
JUAN: YOU GAVE ME HER CROSS.
SONNY: BECAUSE I -- I THOUGHT
YOU SHOULD HAVE IT.
JUAN: BUT YOU CAME
TO THE ISLAND TO TELL ME THAT --
SONNY: TO TELL YOU THAT
LILY DIED.
JUAN: IF YOU WEREN'T
MY FATHER, WHY DID YOU COME?
SONNY: TO HONOR MY LATE WIFE.
JUAN: WHAT ABOUT THAT
FIRST TIME?
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
SONNY: LILY JUST WANTED
TO SHOW ME, YOU KNOW, THE LITTLE
BOY SHE CARRIED AROUND
IN HER HEART.
JUAN: SO,
MIGUEL MOREZ IS MY FATHER?
I DON'T SEE HIM WHEN I LOOK
AT MYSELF.
SONNY: WHEN I LOOK AT YOU,
I SEE YOUR MOTHER.
I WISH YOU WERE MY SON.
I'LL DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING
FOR YOU.
JUAN: YEAH, EXCEPT ASK ME
TO HANG AROUND.
SONNY: YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
JUAN: YOU WON'T LET ME.
BUT NOW I SEE WHY.
I MEAN, WHY WASTE YOUR TIME
WITH ANOTHER MAN'S SON?
SONNY: NO, THAT -- THAT
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
JUAN: THEN TELL ME WHAT DOES.
IS IT BECAUSE YOU'RE A BAD
INFLUENCE?
TELL ME SOMETHING I HAVEN'T
HEARD ALREADY.
SONNY: I THINK
YOU SHOULD KNOW
WHY YOUR MOTHER DIED.
JUAN: CHANGE THE SUBJECT,
WHY DON'T YOU?
SONNY: THE SUBJECT IS ME,
ALL RIGHT?
A WHILE AGO, I WAS INDICTED
FOR RACKETEERING.
JUAN: DO YOU THINK I CARE
ABOUT THAT?
SONNY: THE GOVERNMENT HAD
A TIGHT CASE AND I WAS ON MY WAY
TO FEDERAL PRISON.
JUAN: WHAT DOES THIS HAVE
TO DO WITH ME?
SONNY: HERNANDO RIVERA WAS
A POWERFUL MAN.
HE HAD THE CHARGES DROPPED.
IN RETURN FOR ME TO STAY
OUT OF PRISON,
I HAD TO MARRY HIS DAUGHTER.
SO I DID.
JUAN: YOU DIDN'T LOVE
MY MOTHER?
SONNY: I CARED FOR LILY,
BUT I WAS --
I WAS IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER
WOMAN.
JUAN: SO THEN WHY DID YOU --
SONNY: BECAUSE I WAS BACKED
INTO A CORNER.
I THOUGHT IT COULD WORK
WITH LILY.
JUAN: DID IT?
SONNY: I COULDN'T STAY AWAY
FROM THE OTHER WOMAN.
I BETRAYED YOUR MOTHER.
AND THAT'S WHY SHE DIED.

EDWARD: JASON, YOU'VE
HARDENED YOUR HEART TO THE REST
OF US, BUT MICHAEL STILL
MATTERS.
IT'S THE ONE THING WE HAVE
IN COMMON --
WANTING MICHAEL TO HAVE WHAT
HE DESERVES.
JASON: WHICH IS WHAT,
ACCORDING TO YOU?
EDWARD: WELL, E.L.Q. IS
MICHAEL'S BIRTHRIGHT.
HE'LL BE TAKING OVER ONE DAY.
SO SHOULDN'T WE ALL JUST PULL
TOGETHER TO GUARANTEE THAT
MICHAEL'S COMPANY THRIVES, HUH?
JASON: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
EDWARD: YOUR SUPPORT
FOR MICHAEL'S INHERITANCE.
KEEP IT SOUND AND STRONG --
YOU KNOW, SHOULDERS TO THE WHEEL
LIKE THE REST OF US.
AND IT'S ALL IN MICHAEL'S
INTEREST, OF COURSE.
COURSE, IT FOLLOWS THAT THE MORE
YOU'RE INVOLVED IN THE COMPANY,
THE MORE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE
OF THE BOY.
JASON: STOP RIGHT THERE.
EDWARD: HMM? WHAT?
JASON: YOU CAN'T USE MICHAEL.
THIS IS WHY I GAVE HIM UP.
I'D RATHER NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN
THAN LET YOU TURN HIM
INTO A BARGAINING CHIP.
EDWARD: NO, I WAS JUST
SUGGESTING --
JASON: NO, NO, FORGET IT.
YOU'VE GOT NOTHING THAT I WANT.
EDWARD: WHAT ABOUT CARLY?
SHE'S FOND OF A.J.
BUT SHE'S EVEN MORE FOND
OF BEING A QUARTERMAINE.
ONCE UPON A TIME, THAT TITLE WAS
YOURS TO BESTOW, AND IT STILL
COULD BE IF YOU WOULD JUST --
JASON: I HOPE TO GOD HE SEES
THROUGH YOU.
EDWARD: WHAT?
JASON: THAT HE WON'T LET
YOU PLAY HIM LIKE YOU DO
THE REST OF THEM.
YOU DON'T DESERVE HIS LOVE
OR HIS RESPECT.
I HOPE HE CATCHES ON YOUNG.

[TAPE PLAYS]
LUCKY: I HEARD YOU KNEEL
BESIDE YOUR BED TONIGHT
KEEP A LITTLE PRAYER
FOR ME IN SIGHT
KNOW THAT I WILL BE THERE
WHEN YOU CALL
AND KNOW THAT I WILL CATCH YOU
IF YOU MIGHT FALL
ELIZABETH
GO TO SLEEP
I WANT TO WATCH YOU BREATHE
I WANT TO FEEL GOD'S PEACE
ALL I WANT
IS THIS
ELIZABETH
LUCKY: ELIZABETH
YOU NEED TO GET SOME REST
[TAPE STOPS]

[RADIO PLAYS]
SINGER: I FEEL LIKE
I'VE BEEN LOCKED UP TIGHT
FOR A CENTURY OF LONELY NIGHTS
WAITING FOR SOMEONE
TO RELEASE ME
YOU'RE LICKING YOUR LIPS
AND BLOWIN' KISSES MY WAY
BUT THAT DON'T MEAN
I'M GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY
BABY, BABY, BABY
OH, OH, OH
MY BODY'S SAYING LET'S GO
OH, OH, OH
MY HEART IS SAYING NO
IF YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME
BABY, THERE'S A PRICE TO PAY
I'M A GENIE IN A BOTTLE
YOU GOT TO RUB ME THE RIGHT WAY
IF YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME
I CAN MAKE YOUR WISH COME TRUE
FELICIA: MAYBE FAISON'S
IN HIDING -- SOMEWHERE IN TOWN,
I MEAN.
MAYBE HE'S JUST WAITING FOR US
TO DROP OUR GUARD AND --
MAC: FELICIA, CAN'T
YOU AT LEAST FOR THE MOMENT BE
GLAD THAT YOU WON'T BE RUNNING
INTO THIS GUY?
FELICIA: NO, I CAN'T --
NOT WHEN HE'S OUT THERE STALKING
PEOPLE THAT WE LOVE.
BOBBIE: ARE YOU THINKING
OF ANYONE IN PARTICULAR?
FELICIA: WELL, ROBIN,
FOR INSTANCE.
MAC: INTERPOL HAS ROBIN
UNDER GUARD.
BOBBIE: THEY MONITOR PEOPLE
WHO COULD BE AT RISK?
FELICIA: FAISON HAS NEVER
BEEN STOPPED BY INTERPOL BEFORE.
BOBBIE: WELL, THEY'RE BETTER
EQUIPPED THAN MOST.
MAC: SHOULD I BE TAKING THAT
PERSONALLY?
BOBBIE: NO, MAC.
YOU KNOW I TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS
COMPLETELY.
EXCUSE ME.
FELICIA: WHEN EXACTLY DID
HE TAKE OFF?
DO YOU KNOW?
MAC: ABOUT 48 HOURS.
FELICIA: OH.
WELL, THAT EXPLAINS WHY HE SAID
GOOD-BYE.
MAC: YOU SAW HIM AGAIN?
FELICIA: TUESDAY.
MAC: FELICIA, WHY DIDN'T
YOU TELL ME?
FELICIA: MAC, I THOUGHT THAT
IT WAS A SETUP.
I DIDN'T WANT HIM YANKING
YOUR CHAIN AND YOU GETTING ALL
ANGRY AND PLAYING INTO
HIS HANDS.
MAC: FELICIA, THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
DON'T YOU REMEMBER HOW FAISON
WORKS?
HIS CHIEF M.O. IS TO DIVIDE
AND CONQUER.
HE'S PLAYING YOU JUST LIKE
HE PLAYED ANNA.
FELICIA: NO.
MAC: THE MINUTE WE STOP
TRUSTING EACH OTHER,
SWEETHEART, FAISON HAS US RIGHT
WHERE HE WANTS.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU GET THAT.
FELICIA: I GET IT.
I REALLY GET IT.

FELICIA: YOU KNOW,
HE'S WAITING FOR US TO DO
SOMETHING -- TO PANIC,
OVERREACT -- AND THE MINUTE
WE MAKE A MOVE -- ANY MOVE --
FAISON'S PLAN SNAPS INTO PLAY.
MAC: WHEN DID MY WIFE BECOME
A STRATEGIST?
FELICIA: THAT'S ONE THING
I'LL SAY ABOUT
RYAN CHAMBERLAIN -- I LEARNED
FROM HIM ABOUT SOCIOPATHS.
NO ONE CAN DISMANTLE MY WORLD --
NOT FAISON OR THE DEVIL HIMSELF.
MAC: YOU KNOW, WHEN I MARRIED
YOU, I GOT EVERYTHING I EVER
WANTED IN LIFE, AND I AM NOT
ABOUT TO LOSE THAT NOW.
WHEN FAISON COMES BACK, WE'LL BE
READY.

FAISON: WHAT A BAD SECURITY
SYSTEM.
AND AT LUXURY PRICES, TOO.
IT'S KID'S PLAY.
THIS WILL CURE OR KILL HELENA.
EITHER WAY, HER PROBLEMS
WILL BE SOLVED.

EDWARD: OH.
LILA: WHO WAS THAT
AT THE DOOR, EDWARD?
EDWARD: WE'LL NEVER KNOW
IF THAT BUTLER HAS HIS WAY.
HEY.
HEY, HEY, HEY.
IF YOU'VE COME HERE TO APOLOGIZE
FOR YOUR INSOLENT BEHAVIOR --
REGINALD: YOU KNOW WHAT?
FROM NOW ON, YOU CAN ANNOUNCE
YOUR OWN GUESTS.
EDWARD: WELL --
LILA: REGINALD, REGINALD?
REGINALD: YEAH?
LILA: DEAR, PLEASE GIVE ME
A LITTLE HINT.
IS IT SOMETHING I LIKE
OR SHALL I DRIVE STRAIGHT
TO MY SITTING ROOM?
REGINALD: WELL, IF YOU'RE
FOND OF GERTRUDE MORGAN.
LILA: OH.
REGINALD: YEAH.
I'LL -- I'LL TRY TO STALL HER.
EDWARD: NO, NO.
DON'T LET HER GO AWAY.
LILA, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS
STAY HERE AND SAY HELLO.
LILA: OH, THAT ODIOUS WOMAN.
HOW CAN YOU STAND HER?
EDWARD: I HAVEN'T BOOKED
A CRUISE WITH HER.
I'M JUST HELPING HER
WITH HER LATE HUSBAND'S ESTATE,
DEAR.
LILA: IF YOU DON'T LEAVE
CHLOE AND NED ALONE,
YOU'LL DRIVE NED AWAY FOR GOOD.
GERTRUDE: THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOUR BUTLER
IS A VERY DISAGREEABLE MAN?
EDWARD: HELLO, GERTRUDE.
GERTRUDE: HELLO.
HELLO, LILA.
LILA: GOOD AFTERNOON,
GERTRUDE.
OH, REGGIE DEAR, WOULD
YOU PLEASE HELP ME?
REGINALD: SURE.
EDWARD: I'LL --
I'LL BE UP SOON, DEAR.
WE'LL MEET WITH --
LILA: GOOD DAY.
EDWARD: AND THEN I'LL BE
THERE VERY SOON.
LILA: ALL RIGHT.
GERTRUDE: HOW DOES SHE STAND
THAT SULKING BOOR?
EDWARD: LILA IS THE SOUL
OF COMPASSION.
GERTRUDE: HMM.
EDWARD: YOU KNOW,
GERTRUDE, I'M SO SORRY TO HAVE
INCONVENIENCED YOU, BUT I REALLY
THINK THAT OUR MEETING SHOULD BE
POSTPONED.
GERTRUDE: I PULLED MYSELF OUT
OF A MUD BATH TO RACE OVER HERE
AT YOUR REQUEST.
NOW, I AM NOT LEAVING TILL
I HEAR YOUR PLAN.
EDWARD: WELL, GERTRUDE,
CHLOE IS A VERY DELIGHTFUL YOUNG
WOMAN.
GERTRUDE: OH, EDWARD,
PLEASE, LET'S NOT DEBATE THAT
AGAIN.
EDWARD: WHO HAS STUMBLED
INTO A RIDICULOUS UNION LIKE
SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE DO.
AND, GERTRUDE,
I'VE HAD AN EPIPHANY.
GERTRUDE: OH, DEAR.
EDWARD: OH, NO, NO.
I MEAN, I JUST THOUGHT THIS
WHOLE THING THROUGH, AND I THINK
WE JUST OUGHT TO WAIT THIS WHOLE
THING OUT.
GERTRUDE: THAT'S
YOUR EPIPHANY?
EDWARD: THIS MARRIAGE WON'T
LAST ANOTHER SIX MONTHS
BECAUSE NED AND CHLOE WILL TIRE
OF THE CHARADE.
GERTRUDE: WHAT HAS HAPPENED
TO MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR NERVE?
EDWARD: WHAT?
GERTRUDE: HAVE YOUR PROBLEMS
MAGICALLY DISAPPEARED?
I THOUGHT YOU HAD QUITE A STAKE
IN ENDING THE NED-CHLOE MERGER.
NOW YOU'RE WILLING TO JUST WATCH
THEM BUILD THEIR OWN EMPIRE?
EDWARD: WELL, NED IS NEEDED
VERY BADLY AT E.L.Q.
GERTRUDE: OH, WHAT A PITY
HIS HANDS ARE SO FULL MERGING
WITH A COMPANY THAT OUGHT TO BE
MINE.
EDWARD: YOU SEE, IT'S ONE
THING TO HAVE A SIDELINE.
EVEN WASTEFUL HOBBIES CAN BE
TOLERATED.
BUT, OH, TO -- TO ABANDON
A FAMILY ENTERPRISE IS JUST --
IT'S --
GERTRUDE: AND YOU'RE
POWERLESS TO TURN NED AROUND.
OH, HOW INEFFECTUAL YOU MUST
FEEL.
EDWARD: ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, THERE IS ONE QUICK
SOLUTION.
GERTRUDE: I WISH I KNEW WHAT
IT WAS.
EDWARD: VIDEO SURVEILLANCE.
MM-HMM.
GERTRUDE: HOW WOULD WE SNEAK
THEM IN?
EDWARD: OH, WE'D HIRE
PROFESSIONALS.
GERTRUDE: DO YOU KNOW ANY?
EDWARD: THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN
RETAINED.
GERTRUDE: OH, YOU'VE ALREADY
SET THE TRAP.
EDWARD: MY GRANDSON'S NEXT
ADULTEROUS TRYST WILL BE
CAPTURED ON VIDEOTAPE.
GERTRUDE: PRECIOUS FOOTAGE.
SHAME TO WASTE TO IT.
EDWARD: OH, "WASTE NOT,
WANT NOT," AS MY GRANDMOTHER
USED TO SAY.
GERTRUDE: WORDS TO LIVE BY,
DON'T YOU THINK?
EDWARD: YOU KNOW, AS LONG
AS THE PLAN'S IN MOTION,
WE MIGHT AS WELL SEE IT THROUGH,
PARTNER.

CHLOE: I AM THE TERROR
OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY.
NED: NO, YOU'RE NOT.
I AM.
CHLOE: I'VE NEVER BEEN HATED
AND FEARED BEFORE.
NED: THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU STILL INSPIRE REVERENCE.
CHLOE: OH, WITH A TOUCH
OF DREAD.
OW.
NED: IS YOUR ANKLE ACTING UP
AGAIN?
CHLOE: YEAH, JUST A LITTLE.
NED: I TELL YOU, I COULD
THROTTLE JAX FOR DOING THIS
TO YOU.
CHLOE: WELL, AS A FAVOR
TO ME, PLEASE DON'T.
NED: UH-OH.
HAS ME MADE MORE INROADS?
CHLOE: I THOUGHT I HAD
A HANDLE ON JAX.
THERE'S A LOT MORE THERE THAN
I IMAGINED.

NED: I MAY HAVE TO DIVORCE
YOU IF YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME
THAT JAX HAS FATHOMLESS DEPTHS.
CHLOE: AT FIRST I THOUGHT
JAX WAS MOSTLY GLOSS.
NED: AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING
THE GLOSS IS WEARING THIN?
CHLOE: I HAD CLASSIFIED JAX
AS ONE OF A TYPE --
HANDSOME, CHARMING,
EASILY BORED, INCAPABLE
OF SUSTAINED AFFECTION.
NED: WHAT USED TO BE KNOWN
AS A PLAYBOY.
CHLOE: THE SORT OF MAN
THAT YOU --
YOU DON'T TAKE SERIOUSLY.
YOU MAINTAIN A DISTANCE
AND YOU'RE SAFE.
NED: NARCISSISTIC
AND COMPLETELY SELF-INVOLVED.
CHLOE: MY FATHER FELL
INTO THAT CATEGORY.
NED: SMALL WORLD.
SO DID MINE.
CHLOE: BUT WHEN JAX OPENED UP
ABOUT BRENDA --
NED: WELL, I HAVE TO ADMIT,
IN THAT SITUATION HE WAS VERY
BRAVE.
IT WAS A HELL OF A RISK HE WAS
TAKING.
CHLOE: TRUE LOVE IS ALWAYS
A RISK.
NED: WELL, WITH BRENDA IT WAS
MORE THAN THAT.
HER MOTHER HAD A DEGENERATIVE
ILLNESS THAT WAS SLOWLY DRIVING
HER INSANE.
IT'S HEREDITY AND IRREVERSIBLE.
CHLOE: HOW DREADFUL.
NED: BUT JAX HUNG IN THERE.
HE WANTED BRENDA NO MATTER WHAT.
EVEN IF IT MEANT THAT THEY WOULD
NEVER HAVE CHILDREN.
CHLOE: WHEN A MAN CAN GIVE
HIS HEART LIKE THAT --
NED: WAIT.
WHAT AM I DOING?
I'M ADDING HYPE TO THE JAX
MYSTIQUE.
CHLOE: IT'S NOT HYPE WHEN
IT'S TRUE.
NED: YOU'RE IN REAL TROUBLE,
AREN'T YOU?
CHLOE: JAX NEEDN'T KNOW THAT.
NED: BELIEVE ME, HE WON'T
HEAR IT FROM ME.
LET'S GO.
THE NUMBERS CAME IN
FROM YOUR PEOPLE IN MILAN.
I THINK WE SHOULD CRUNCH THEM
OVER DINNER.
CHLOE: ACTUALLY,
YOU CAN CRUNCH IF YOU'D LIKE.
I'D RATHER EAT.

GERTRUDE: SO HOW WILL
YOUR MAN BREAK INTO
THE GATEHOUSE?
EDWARD: I'VE GIVEN HIM A KEY.
A.J.: EXCUSE ME.
THIS UNION THING'S UNDER
CONTROL.
LAWYERS ARE HAMMERING IT OUT.
I'LL CALL YOU FROM THE PLANE
WITH THE DETAILS.
EDWARD: BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE
THEM NOW.
A.J.: WELL, I'M IN A HURRY,
AND YOU'RE BUSY.
EDWARD: WELL, GERTRUDE
WAS JUST READY TO GO.
GERTRUDE: I AM?
A.J.: I'LL WALK YOU OUT.
EDWARD: THAT WON'T BE
NECESSARY.
REGINALD!
GERTRUDE: PLEASE.
NOT ON MY ACCOUNT.
WHEN YOU ARE READY TO HIRE SOME
CIVILIZED STAFF, I WILL GIVE
YOU THE NUMBER OF MY AGENCY.
OH.
REGINALD: WHEN DO WE LEAVE?
A.J.: OH, NO, NO, NO.
NO CHANCE.
COME ON, REGINALD, IT'S
MY HONEYMOON.
REGINALD: OH, COME ON.
I'M NOT GOING TO BOTHER
YOU OR CARLY.
GERTRUDE: EXCUSE ME.
WHY DO YOU SUBJECT YOURSELF
TO THIS?
EDWARD: YOU KNOW,
REGINALD, YOU -- YOU'VE BECOME
APPARENTLY VERY, VERY
DISORIENTED.
THIS IS YOUR PLACE OF
EMPLOYMENT!
REGINALD: WELL, I'M NOT
AN INDENTURED SERVANT.
EDWARD: AND I'M NOT
YOUR DOTING UNCLE.
I'M YOUR EMPLOYER!
REGINALD: OK.
WELL, THEN LET'S JUST CONSIDER
THIS AN APPLICATION
FOR IMMEDIATE PERSONAL
LEAVE, OK?
EDWARD: OK.
APPLICATION REJECTED.
A.J.: OK.
REGINALD, I WILL SEND LETICIA
YOUR REGARDS.
EDWARD: JUST A MINUTE,
YOUNG MAN.
A.J.: MY WIFE IS WAITING.
IT'S C.E.O. TO YOU, OK?
REGINALD: WHY DON'T YOU JUST
FIRE HIM?
I MEAN, ISN'T THAT WHAT
YOU TYRANTS DO?
EDWARD: I'M A TYRANT?
REGINALD: YEAH, YOU'RE
A TYRANT WITH NO REGARD
FOR PERSONAL FEELINGS -- EXCEPT
FOR WHEN IT'S TO MANIPULATE
PEOPLE.
EDWARD: IF I'M A TYRANT,
WHAT HAS STOPPED ME FROM FIRING
YOU, HUH?
REGINALD: OH, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE IT'S THE FEAR THAT
YOU JUST MIGHT GET WHAT
YOU DESERVE --
A BIG, EMPTY HOUSE, NO FAMILY.
JUST A BUTLER YOU FORGOT
TO LET GO.

SONNY: I CAUGHT UP WITH LILY
ON A PLANE HEADED FOR
PUERTO RICO.
I TOLD HER I WAS SORRY
AND SHE CAME HOME WITH ME,
WHICH WAS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST
MISTAKE SHE EVER MADE
IN HER LIFE.
SOMEHOW WORD GOT OUT TO RIVERA.
AND HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT LILY HAD
CHANGED HER MIND,
THAT WE WERE BACK TOGETHER,
SO HE PLANTED A BOMB IN MY CAR.
CAR WAS IN THE PARKING LOT.
SHE WENT TO GO GET IT.
SHE CLIMBED IN THE CAR
AND THE WHOLE THING EXPLODED.
LILY WAS DEAD.
MY CHILD WAS DEAD.
YOUR BROTHER, YOUR SISTER.
WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
JUAN: BECAUSE OF YOU.
MY MOTHER'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU.

>> STAY TUNED FOR SCENES FROM
THE NEXT "GENERAL HOSPITAL."

NIKOLAS: WHAT ARE YOU DOING
HERE?
STEFAN: I WAS HOPING TO SEE
MY SON.

SONNY: I DON'T WANT
YOU ANYWHERE NEAR ME.
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHY.

EDWARD: DID YOU OR DID
YOU NOT ESTABLISH VIDEO
SURVEILLANCE IN THE GATEHOUSE?
LILA: WHAT ARE YOU UP TO NOW,
EDWARD?

ELIZABETH: I'LL HAVE WHAT
HE'S HAVING.
MIGHT AS WELL LIVE DANGEROUSLY.
