General Hospital Transcript Monday 3/20/00

CHLOE: OK.
SO EVEN THOUGH THE TUMOR ISN'T
MALIGNANT, IT COULD KEEP GETTING
BIGGER UNTIL IT DESTROYS
MY VISION?
TONY: IT'S CALLED A BENIGN
INTERHEMISPHERIC MENINGIOMA.
IT'S LOCATED NEAR THE OCCIPITAL
LOBE.
CHLOE: BUT THAT'S THE ONLY
THING THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED,
RIGHT -- MY VISION -- NOT
ANYTHING ELSE IN MY BRAIN?
TONY: RIGHT.
I CAN'T MAKE YOU ANY PROMISES,
BUT WE MAY HAVE CAUGHT IT
IN TIME TO SAVE YOUR VISION.
THE PROBLEM IS WHEN MENINGIOMAS
BEGIN TO GROW, THEY START
TO COMPRESS THE SURROUNDING
BRAIN TISSUE.
AND ONCE THAT DAMAGE IS DONE,
IT'S IRREVERSIBLE.
JAX: BUT WE WANT TO SAVE
CHLOE'S VISION, SO WHAT'S
THE BEST APPROACH?
TONY: WELL, BECAUSE
OF THE LOCATION, SURGERY'S NOT
AN OPTION.
IT'S TOO INVASIVE.
RADIATION IS AN OPTION.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE MEDICINES
THAT ALSO WORK, AND I WOULD LIKE
TO TRY SOME OF THOSE FIRST.
CHLOE: OK, SO THIS ISN'T
HOPELESS.
I MEAN, WE CAN FIGHT THIS THING
AND WIN?
JAX: AND WE WILL.

BARTENDER: WHAT CAN
I GET YOU?
A.J.: VODKA, STRAIGHT UP.
NED: CANCEL THAT.
SO, JUNIOR, I HEARD ABOUT
YOUR REVERSAL OF FORTUNE,
THAT SONNY BLACKMAILED
YOU INTO LETTING GO OF CARLY
AND MICHAEL.
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
A.J.: YEAH, THE SYMPATHY IS
JUST OOZING OUT OF YOU.
YOU KNOW, I WONDER HOW MANY
OTHER C.E.O.s WHO INCREASED
PROFIT GROWTH DURING
THEIR TENURE GOT CANNED
BECAUSE THEY LOST CUSTODY
OF THEIR CHILD.
NED: YOU HIRED AN ARSONIST
TO BURN DOWN JASON AND SONNY'S
WAREHOUSE.
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THAT LITTLE
TEMPER TANTRUM EXPOSED
THE COMPANY TO?
A.J.: THE COURTS WERE
THREATENING TO GIVE JASON
CUSTODY OF MY SON.
NED: JUST CALM DOWN.
A.J.: YOU.
YOU -- YOU BURIED RALLEY
SHIPPING'S GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
IN A SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE UNTIL
THEY HAD NO OTHER CHOICE
BUT TO ACCEPT YOUR LOWBALL
OFFER.
WAS THAT LEGAL?
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR
GIRLFRIEND, NED.
SONNY'S ATTORNEY?
WHAT, SHE'S NEVER DONE ANYTHING
DESPERATE?
LIKE GETTING TONY JONES TO WALK?
HOW ABOUT YOUR BUDDY JAX?
HOW'S HIS BROTHER DOING?
AND JASON.
YEAH, LIKE HE'S NEVER COMMITTED
A FELONY.
LOOK, WHAT I DID TO GET MY SON
BACK WAS USE THE SAME RULE BOOK
THE REST OF YOU USED, WHICH IS
TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.
SO, LOOK, YOU WANT TO LOOK DOWN
YOUR NOSE AT ME?
FINE, BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
NED: THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU GOT CAUGHT.
AND ALSO, I DIDN'T RISK ANYONE'S
LIFE.
A.J.: NO ONE WAS HURT!
OK, FINE, YOU GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD AND BLAME ME,
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S A HELL OF A LOT EASIER
TO DO THAT THAN PUT THE BLAME
ON THE PERSON IT REALLY BELONGS
ON, WHICH IS JASON.
TELL ME SOMETHING --
IFOIS AND SOME GUY PLOTTED
TO KEEP YOU FROM KNOWING
BROOKE LYNN --
NED: OH, JUST STOP.
I KNOW THAT STORY, A.J.,
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
BUT YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I WOULD'VE NEVER GOTTEN
DRUNK AND I WOULD'VE NEVER SLEPT
WITH CARLY.
AND I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HAVE
FORGOT ABOUT IT IF I DID.
SO YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF.
AND NOW YOU'RE RIGHT BACK
AT THE BAR, WHERE IT ALL
STARTED.

BOBBIE: Roy? Roy?
Can you hear me?
SOREL: HE CAN'T HELP YOU.
BOBBIE: NO! OH, GOD.
[ROY GASPS]
ROY: BOBBIE?
[ROY GROANS]

DARA: HEY, MAC.
MAC: SO, WHAT'S
THE EMERGENCY?
YOUR COPY OF A FAX FROM
JUDGE GRIFFIN.
DARA: HOW DID YOU KNOW TO GO
TO GRIFFIN?
MAC: HIS TWINS ARE IN CLASS
WITH MAXIE.
HE'S GOING TO SWING BY AND SIGN
THE COURT ORDER, AND THEN I'M
OUT OF HERE.
DARA: TO THE HOTEL OR HOME?
MAC: HOME.
DARA: SO YOU AND FELICIA
ARE WORKING IT OUT?
MAC: I DON'T LIKE MY LIFE
WITHOUT HER IN IT, AND SHE HAS
PROMISED ME THAT NOTHING
AND NO ONE IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN ME OR THE GIRLS.
SO WE'RE BOTH HOME TO STAY.

LUKE: OVER THERE.
COME ON.
WHY ISN'T THIS MORE
OF A SURPRISE?
STEFAN: HELENA ESCAPED
WITH LUCKY?
LAURA: I'M NOT TELLING
YOU ANYTHING, STEFAN.
STEFAN: DID YOU SEE LUCKY?
DID YOU SPEAK WITH HIM?
LAURA, ALL I WANT IS TO FIND
YOUR SON.
LUKE: WHY, SO YOU CAN LOCK
HIM AWAY FOR ANOTHER YEAR?
THIS GAME'S OVER, STEFAN.
STEFAN: YOU KNOW NOTHING.
LUCKY WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
HIS SUPPOSED DEATH?
THE KIDNAPPING?
ALL OF IT -- THAT WAS HELENA'S
DOING.
ALL I HAVE DONE IS TRY
TO RESCUE HIM.
NOW, LET ME HELP YOU FIND HIM.

DARA: I AM SO GLAD THAT
YOU AND FELICIA ARE WORKING
THINGS OUT.
THE STAFF COULDN'T TAKE MUCH
MORE.
MAC: MUCH MORE OF WHAT?
DARA: THE BOSS' FOUL MOOD.
MAC: WELL, I'D BE IN A MUCH
BETTER MOOD IF I WAS HEADED HOME
INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR A JUDGE.
DARA: HMM.
TELL FELICIA TO START LIGHTING
THE CANDLES IN 30 MINUTES.
BYE.
[DARA LAUGHS]
MAC: HI, IT'S ME.
YOU THERE?
NO, YOU'RE PROBABLY
IN THE SHOWER.
LISTEN, I'M GOING TO BE STUCK
HERE FOR ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR
OR SO.
GIVE ME A CALL.
WE'LL SYNCHRONIZE OUR WATCHES.
I LOVE YOU.

LAURA: I DON'T CARE WHO
MY SON BLAMES -- YOU
OR YOUR MOTHER.
I JUST CARABOUT FINDING HIM
ALIVE AND BRINGING HIM HOME
SAFELY.
STEFAN: THAT'S ALL I WANT.
I'M OFFERING MY HELP.
LAURA: YOUR HELP KEPT ME
FROM HIM.
STEFAN: LAURA, THINK
INSTEAD OF BEING TOLD WHAT
TO THINK.
I CAN HELP YOU.
LAURA: DO YOU KNOW WHERE
LUCKY IS NOW?
STEFAN: NO.
LAURA: WELL, THEN I GUESS
YOU CAN'T HELP ME.
STEFAN: I KNEW THIS WOULD
HAPPEN, THAT HE WOULD MANAGE
TO POISON YOU AGAINST ME.
BUT YOUR OWN SON WILL
CONTRADICT HIM.
HE WILL TELL YOU THAT WHAT LUKE
AND FELICIA SAW WAS A RESCUE
ATTEMPT.
LUKE: YOU'RE SO GOOD AT THIS.
SO GOOD AT RESCUE ATTEMPTS.
YOU REMEMBER THE TIME HE RESCUED
LUCKY FROM THE SWAMP AFTER
HE LURED HIM THERE AND LET
THE D ALMOST DROWN?
HE SHOWED UP AT THE LAST MINUTE
JUST SO YOU COULD PLAY HERO
WITH MY WIFE!
STEFAN: OH, THAT IS
LUDICROUS!
SO IS STANDING HERE ARGUING.
NOW, THE FACT IS HELENA HAS
LUCKY.
I KNOW HOW TO TRACK HELENA.
FOR BETT OR WORSE,
YOU NEED ME.

CHLOE: OK.
SO IF YOU SAY MEDICATION IS
THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT THIS
THING, THEN LET'S DO IT.
WHEN CAN I START?
TONY: WELL, THE SOONER
THE BETTER.
THERE ARE SEVERAL AVAILABLE
DRUGS RIGHT NOW.
THERE ARE A FEW IN THE
EXPERIMENTAL PHASE.
WHAT I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO IS
SET YOU UP WITH THE ONE
WITH THE BEST TRACK RECORD.
AND YOU CAN TAKE THIS
PRESCRIPTION AND GET IT FILLED
AT THE PHARMACY DOWNSTAIR
AND THEN START TAKING IT FIRST
THING IN THE MORNING.
JAX: WHAT ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS?
TONY: YOU KNOW, I'M NOT
EXPECTING ANY SERIOUS SIDE
EFFECTS FROM THIS PARTICULAR
DRUG.
MOST LIKELY, IF YOU START
TO NOTICE SOMETHING,
IT'S FROM THE ILLNESS ITSELF,
NOT THE MEDICATION.
THINGS LIKE THE MIGRAINE-TYPE
HEADACHE THAT YOU EXPERIENCED
RIGHT BEFORE YOUR COLLAPSE,
OR SOME PATIENTS REPORT VIVID
DREAMS.
THEY TEND TO BE PRETTY BIZARRE.
THE PROBLEM THAT YOU'RE HAVING
IS IN THE BACK, LEFT SIDE
OF YOUR BRAIN, AND THAT IS
PRETTY MUCH UNPREDICTABLE
TERRITORY THERE.
IN FACT, I'D LIKE YOU TO KEEP
A DIARY, IF YOU CAN, TO TELL ME
ABOUT YOUR SYMPTOMS -- BLURRING
VISION, HEADACHES, DREAMS --
ANYTHING THAT YOU EXPERIENCE
THAT PERTAINS TO YOUR CONDITION.
CHLOE: ALL RIGHT.
JAX: IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
THAT SHE SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T DO?
TONY: TRY NOT TO WORRY.
AND I KNOW THAT THAT'S
IMPOSSIBLE.
JUST TRY TO MAINTAIN AS MUCH
OF A NORMAL LIFESTYLE
AS YOU CAN.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS,
CALL ME IF ANYTHING CHANGES.
CHLOE: OK.
TONY: AND THEN YOU NEED
TO CALL MY OFFICE AND SET UP
AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME ONE WEEK
FROM TODAY, ALL RIGHT?
CHLOE: MM-HMM.
JAX: THANKS, TONY.
TONY: SURE.
THIS IS A VERY PROMISING DRUG,
ACTUALLY.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO KEEP
OUR FINGERS CROSSED.
CHLOE: YEP. THANK YOU.
TONY: AND NOW,
IF YOU GUYS WILL EXCUSE ME,
I HAVE A 7-YEAR-OLD WHO HAS
TO HAVE SURGERY TOMORROW,
AND I TOLD HIM I WOULD SIT
WITH HIM, SO --
CHLOE: OF COURSE.
TONY: SEE YOU LATER.
JAX and CHLOE: THANKS.
CHLOE: OOH.
GUESS WHAT --
I'M NOT GOING TO DIE.
JAX: AND YOU'RE NOT GOING
BLIND, EITHER.

NED: YOU WANT MY SYMPATHY
AS A FATHER?
WHY DON'T YOU START ACTING
LIKE ONE.
A.J.: LIKE I'M GOING TO START
TAKING PARENTING TIPS FROM YOU.
NED: WELL, AT LEAST WHEN
BROOKEYNN'S FRIENDS ASK WHO
HER FATHER IS, I'M NOT AFRAID
SHE'S GOING TO SAY,
"THE DRUNK AT THE BAR."
A.J.: LOOK, MY DRINKING IS
UNDER CONTROL, ALL RIGHT?
NED: OH, PLEASE.
A.J.: SO WHAT EVEN
IF IT ISN'T?
I'M ENTITLED.
I JUST GOT MY ONLY CHILD TAKEN
AWAY FROM ME.
THE NANNY THAT I'VE BEEN PAYING
FOR FOR THE LAST YEAR WOULDN'T
EVEN LET ME SAY HELLO TO MY SON
YESTERDAY.
NO TELLING WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
ABOUT ME TO MY SON.
AND CARLY?
NOT THAT SHE'S AROUND.
SHE'S IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
GETTING A DIVORCE.
NED: FINE.
SO YOU GOT A RAW DEAL, JUNIOR.
BUT INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR A WAY
OUT, FINDING A SOLUTION, WHAT DO
YOU DO?
YOU WALLOW IN IT.
A.J.: YEAH, WELL, AT LEAST
I'M NOT DELUDED ENOUGH TO THINK
I'M GOING TO GET ANY SYMPATHY
FROM YOU OR ANYONE ELSE
IN MY FAMILY.
YOU WANT ACTION, BUDDY?
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ACTION.
NED: HOLD ON A SEC --
WHERE YOU GOING?
A.J.: I'M GOING TO GET MY SON
BACK.

NED: HI.
ALEXIS: HI.
HAVE YOU SEEN STEFAN?
NED: NO. WHY?
ALEXIS: HE LEFT TOWN EVEN
THOUGH SCORPIO TOLD HIM NOT TO.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NED: IT'S A.J.
I JUST STOPPED HIM FROM ORDERING
A DRINK.
ALEXIS: WAS HE ALREADY DRUNK?
NED: I DON'T THINK SO.
BUT EMILY TOLD ME THAT HE CAME
HOME LAST NIGHT COMPLETELY
WASTED.
AND THE FACTHAT A.J. IS OFF
THE WAGON MEANS I'M FEELING
THE CALL -- BUT I DON'T WANT
TO ANSWER IT.
BUT IT'S HARD BECAUSE WHENEVER
A.J. GETS DRUNK, THE POSSIBILITY
OF DISASTER IS ENDLESS.
JASON, ONE CASE IN POINT,
AND CARLY ANOTHER.
ALEXIS: DO YOU WANT TO GO
FIND HIM?
NED: NO, NO, NO.
I CAN'T DO THAT EVERY SINGLE
TIME.
I MADE SURE HE LEFT HERE SOBER.
AFTER THAT,
HE HAS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE
FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS.
IT'S JUST EMILY AND GRANDMOTHER
THAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT.
ALEXIS: DO YOU WANT ME TO ASK
SONNY IF HE COULD INVITE LILA
OVER TO SEE MICHAEL?
NED: YOU KNOW, WHY IS IT THAT
SO MANY OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE
SEEM TO FALL UNDER THE SPELL
OF SONNY?
FIRST BRENDA, THEN JASON,
NOW YOU.
ALEXIS: I'M NOT UNDER
HIS SPELL.
I JUST THINK HE HAS A RIGHT
TO BE A FATHER.
NED: REALLY?
BECAUSE HE SENT BRENDA
TO A MENTAL WARD?
BECAUSE HE HIRED TEENAGERS
TO STRIP AT HIS CLUB?
ALEXIS: WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
MAYBE HE'S CHANGED.
NED: ALEXIS.
OH, WAS IT THE NEW SONNY WHO
JUMPED IN THE SACK WITH CARLY,
WHO HAPPENED TO BE MARRIED
AT THE TIME, AND DROVE HIS BEST
FRIEND AWAY?
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
ALEXIS: OH.
NED: ARE YOU SURE YOU REALLY
KNOW THIS SONNY CORINTHOS?
HELLO?
OH, HI, CHLOE.
OK, LET'S HEAR THE GOOD NEWS
FIRST.
OK.
SO WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?
OK.
WELL, KEEP ME POSTED.
I WILL.
SHE'S RIGHT HERE WITH ME.
OK.
BYE.
THE TUMOR IS NOT MALIGNANT.
ALEXIS: THANK GOD.

TONY: UH, EXCUSE ME.
MAY I ASK WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
A.J.: YEAH.
LOOKING FOR PROOF THAT SONNY'S
DANGEROUS.
HE WAS ADMITTED FOR AN OVERDOSE,
WASN'T HE?
HEROIN, I THINK?
TONY: I NEVER TREATED SONNY
CORINTHOS.
PATIENT FILES ARE CONFIDENTIAL,
AND, BY THE WAY, WHO THE HELL DO
YOU THINK YOU ARE, BARGING
IN HERE, A.J.?
A.J.: I'M YOU, TONY,
TWO YEARS LATER -- CARLY'S
LATEST ROAD KILL.
WANT TO KNOW WHERE SHE IS
RIGHT NOW?
THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC,
DIVORCING ME.
NOW, I'M SURE YOU'VE ALREADY
HEARD, AS THE REST OF THE WORLD
HAS -- SHE'S PREGNANT
WITH SONNY'S BABY.
TONY: YEAH, I'M SORRY.
A.J.: DID YOU ALSO HEAR THAT
SHE'S GOT MY SON OVER AT THAT
PENTHOUSE?
TONY: NO.
A.J.: NOT THAT I PLAN
TO LEAVE IT THAT WAY.
IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THE SCORE.
WANT TO HELP?

CARLY: JOHNNY, IS THERE ANY
NEWS ABOUT MY MOTHER?
SONNY: LET'S -- CAN WE JUST
GET INSIDE?
CARLY: COULD YOU JUST STOP
TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, SONNY?
SONNY: I WANT YOU TO FIND
DiLUCCA, BRING HIM HERE.
CARLY: I WANT MY MOTHER SAFE,
SONNY.
SONNY: I TOLD YOU, BOBBIE WAS
GRABBED TO GET MY ATTENTION.
ONCE I SPEAK TO SOREL,
IT'S OVER.
CARLY: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
YOU'VE GOT GUARDS ON ELIZABETH
WEBBER, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THEM
ON MY MOTHER?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT -- IF JASON
WAS HERE, THIS NEVER WOULD'VE
HAPPENED.
SONNY: ENOUGH, NOW!
HANG UP THE PHONE, CARLY!
CARLY: I AM CALLING
THE POLICE, SONNY!
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE BOBBIE IS.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SOREL'S
DOING TO HER.
THAT MAN SHOT JASON, DIDN'T HE?
MAC SCORPIO IS A FRIEND
OF BOBBIE'S.
SONNY: THE POLICE IS GOING
TO GET YOUR MOTHER KILLED.
CARLY: I'M AFRAID.
I DON'T JUST LOVE BOBBIE,
I NEED HER.
YOU'VE GOT TO BRING HER HOME,
SAFE.
PROMISE ME.
PROMISE ME.
SONNY: I WILL.
CARLY: PROMISE?
PROMISE ME, OK?

HELENA: WELL, FINALLY.
YOU KNOW, MRS. LANSBURY,
I'M BEING VERY INDULGENT TO MEET
YOU HERE IN PERSON.
NOW, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS
BE PROMPT.
MRS. LANSBURY: WELL,
THE LAUNCH PILOT WAS DELAYED,
AND I WAS AFRAID TO TRY
CONTACTING YOU.
THE PHONES COULD BE TAPPED.
HELENA: WELL, I KNOW YOU'RE
TAKING A RISK.
NOW,
WHERE IS MY SON?

LUKE: YOU WANT TO HELP?
THERE'S ONE THING YOU CAN DO.
YOU TELL US WHERE HELENA'S GOT
LUCKY.
STEFAN: I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I DO KNOW HELENA'S CONTACTS.
I CAN ESTIMATE HER NEXT MOVE.
I ALSO HAVE A PRIVATE JET
WITH UNLIMITED RESOURCES.
LUKE: WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU CAN DO WITH THOSE.
STEFAN: THIS IS YOUR SON.
DON'T YOU WANT ALL THE HELP
YOU CAN GET?
LUKE: NOT FROM YOU.
STEFAN: I'M STAYING.
LUKE: I DON'T THINK SO.

MRS. LANSBURY: MR. CASSADINE
DIDN'T SAY WHERE HE COULD BE
REACHED OR HOW LONG HE'D BE
GONE.
HELENA: WHAT DID HE SAY?
MRS. LANSBURY: TO ME,
NOTHING.
BUT BEFORE HE LEFT,
I TOOK A MESSAGE FROM HIS PILOT,
AND HE SAID IT'S ALL ARRANGED
AND WHEN HE AND MR. CASSADINE
REACH THE INDIAN OCEAN,
THERE'LL BE A SEAPLANE WAITING,
PILOTED BY SOMEONE WHO IS
AN EXPERT ON THE AREA.
HELENA: AS EVER, STEFAN GOES
EXACTLY WHERE I POINT HIM,
ONLY TO ARRIVE TOO LATE.
THE ONLY THING HE'LL SEE ON THAT
YACHT IS HIS FATHER.
HE WON'T EVEN THINK
OF THE HISTORY THAT LUKE
AND LAURA HAVE THERE.
WHICH MEANS THAT HE WILL NEVER
GUESS MY NEXT MOVE.
EXCELLENT START.
MRS. LANSBURY: THANK YOU.
HELENA: OH, MRS. LANSBURY --
REMEMBER, ANY WORD FROM STEFAN
IS REPORTED TO ME AT ONCE.

NED: CHLOE SAID THERE'S STILL
A CHANCE THAT THE TUMOR COULD
AFFECT HER VISION.
ALEXIS: TO THE POINT
OF BLINDNESS?
NED: YES, BUT TONY IS PUTTING
HER ON SOME MEDICATION THAT IS
HAVING SOME VERY GOOD RESULTS.
ALEXIS: GOOD. GOOD.
I FEEL LIKE I CAN BREATHE AGAIN
NOW SINCE THE ORIGINAL CALL.
NED: YEAH.
ALEXIS: YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT
YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO HEAR
THIS, BUT I KEEP TELLING MYSELF
THAT THAT HIT-AND-RUN HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH ME,
BUT I STILL THINK THAT IT'S ALL
MY FAULT.
NED: THAT'S YOU WANTING
TO TRY TO FIX A SITUATION
YOU CAN'T.
KIND OF LIKE WORKING WITH SONNY.
ALEXIS: I'M NOT TRYING TO FIX
SONNY.
ARE YOU TRYING TO EMOTIONALLY
MANIPULATE ME?
NED: UH-HUH.
IT'S ONE OF MY MANY TALENTS.
ALEXIS: I LOVE YOU
TO THE POINT OF DISTRACTION,
BUT I WILL N LET YOU
MANIPULATE OR ARBITRATE
MY CAREER.
I WILL, HOWEVER, LET YOU BUY ME
DINNER.
NED: YOU KNOW, BEFORE CHLOE
CALLED, I MADE A VERY GOOD POINT
ABOUT SONNY.
ALEXIS: LET'S JUST DROP IT.

STEFAN: I HAVE NO INTENTION
OF STANDING ASIDE WHILE
YOU CONVINCE LUCKY TO MAKE ALL
MANNER OF ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST ME.
I'LL BE THERE WHEN THE BOY IS
FOUND AND WHEN LAURA HEARS
THE TRUTH.
LUKE: I CAN'T STOP
YOU WITHOUT PUTTING A BULLET
THROUGH YOU.
AND THAT MIGHT UPSET MY WIFE.
BUT I CAN SLOW YOU DOWN.
YOU WANT TO STAY?
YOU CAN STAY.
I'VE GOT GOOD ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR YOU.
STEFAN: LAURA?
LUKE: INSIDE.
INSIDE.
STEFAN: LAURA?
STEFAN: LAURA!
[STEFAN POUNDS ON DOOR]
STEFAN: DON'T DO THIS!
LUKE: THAT MIGHT HOLD HIM
FOR A WHILE.
STEFAN: LAURA!
LUKE: I SAY WE TAKE ONE MORE
SWEEP THROUGH, LOOK
AT THE STATEROOMS, AND THEN
WE GET OUT OF HERE.
YEAH?
STEFAN: LAURA!
LAURA, DON'T DO THIS!
LAURA!
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE, LAURA!
STEFAN: LAURA, YOU NEED ME!
DON'T LET HIM DO THIS!
[POUNDING]

TONY: SO HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN
WHAT GOING AFTER CARLY AND JASON
GOT ME?
A TRIAL, A SON THAT I COULDN'T
GET WITHIN 300 YARDS OF,
AND A DEAD CAREER, WHICH EVEN
NOW I'M JUST GETTING BACK
ON TRACK.
SO IF YOU'VE GOT SEVERAL YEARS
YOU WANT TO JUST THROW AWAY,
YOU SHOULD DO THAT,
BUT OTHERWISE, YOU NEED
TO FORGET ABOUT PUNISHING CARLY
AND SONNY.
AND AS FOR LOSING CARLY,
THAT'S JUST A GREAT STROKE
OF LUCK.
A.J.: NO, YOU SEE,
TONY, I WON'T LET CARLY
AND SONNY SETTLE DOWN IN THAT
PENTHOUSE WITH THEIR CHILD
AND MY SON FOR GOOD MEASURE.
ALL RIGHT, I'M NOT JUST GOING
TO LET THEM LIVE HAPPILY EVER
AFTER.
TONY: LISTEN TO YOURSELF.
YOU THINK THEY COULD BE HAPPY?
IS THAT POSSIBLE?
COULD ANY TWO PEOPLE MAKE EACH
OTHER MORE MISERABLE THAN
THOSE TWO?
JUST THINK ABOUT IT.
THEY'RE GOING TO GET
THE PUNISHMENT THEY DESERVE,
WHICH IS EACH OTHER.
YOU LET THEM STAY TOGETHER
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, YOU'LL GET
YOUR REVENGE WITHOUT LIFTING
A FINGER.
A.J.: I DON'T WANT TO WAIT.
I WANT THEM TO PAY NOW.
I WANT THEM TO LOSE EVERYTHING
THE WAY I HAVE.
ALAN: TONY, I JUST --
A.J.?
ARE YOU OK?
A.J.: OH -- I'M FINE.
I BROKE IN HERE WITH NO PROBLEM
AT ALL, AND I'VE BEEN RANSACKING
TONY'S OFFICE.

SONNY: ALL RIGHT.
YOU'D BETTER GO UPSTAIRS,
SEE MICHAEL, GET SOME REST,
ALL RIGHT?
YOU GOT A BABY TO THINK ABOUT.
CARLY: NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO SLEEP.
OK.
IF ANYTHING HAPPENS,
I WANT YOU TO COME UPSTAIRS
AND YOU TELL ME RIGHT AWAY.
SONNY: I WILL.
SOREL'S NOT GOING TO HURT
BOBBIE.
TO HIM THIS IS A BUSINESS
TACTIC, NOT A WAR.
CARLY: HE COULD USE BOBBIE
TO START A WAR, THOUGH, RIGHT?
ISN'T THAT HOW THESE THINGS GET
STARTED?
SONNY: BOBBIE'S NOT GOING
TO GET HURT.
I MEAN THAT.
YOU GOT TO TRUST ME ON THIS, OK?
CARLY: YEAH.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
SONNY: YEAH?
JOHNNY: DiLUCCA'S HERE.
ROY: NICE OF YOU TO COME BACK
FROM VACATION.
YOU MADE CONTACT WITH SOREL?
SONNY: BOBBIE'S DAUGHTER'S
UPSTAIRS.
KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?
ROY: I FOUND BOBBIE.
SONNY: WELL, THAT'S DANGEROUS
AND STUPID.
ROY: YEAH, WELL, I KNOW WHERE
SHE IS.
I KNOW WHERE SHE IS AND I KNOW
THEY HAVEN'T TOUCHED HER YET.
SONNY: NO, YOU MEAN YOU KNOW
WHERE SHE WAS.
NOW SOREL KNOWS THAT ONE
OF MY EMPLOYEES DOESN'T TAKE
ORDERS.
ROY: WELL, I ASKED BENNY
TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.
YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT
HE FOLLOWS ORDERS REAL WELL.
HE TURNED ME DOWN COLD,
AND I WASN'T GOING TO SIT AROUND
AND WAIT.
WHAT DID SOREL HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT IT?
SONNY: I HAVEN'T SPOKEN
TO HIM.
WHAT'D HE SAY TO YOU
AT THE MEETING?
ROY: THAT HE WANTED
YOU TO MOVE HIS PRODUCT.
SONNY: WELL, THAT'S NOT GOING
TO HAPPEN.
UH-UH.
CARLY: WHAT'S NOT GOING
TO HAPPEN?
OH, MY GOD.
ROY, DID YOU MEET SOREL ABOUT
A RANSOM?
WHAT'S GOING ON, SONNY?
ARE YOU REFUSING TO PAY?
YOU HAVE TO DO WHATEVER THAT MAN
SAYS.

SONNY: CARLY, YOU KNOW,
YOU GOT TO CALM DOWN.
CARLY: NO.
SONNY: ROY SAW BOBBIE.
SHE'S ALL RIGHT.
NOW, IF YOU STAY COOL,
THEN YOU CAN LISTEN
TO HIS REPORT.
CARL OK.
SONNY: OK.
CARLY: SOREL DO THIS TO YOU?
ROY: YEAH, I FOUND BOBBIE,
AND SHE'S NOT HURT.
I JUST -- I COULDN'T GET
HER AWAY BECAUSE I GOT JUMPED.
CARLY: WHAT HAPPENED
TO MY MOTHER?
ROY: WHEN I CAME TO,
SHE WAS GONE.
BUT I WAS THERE AND I --
I TALKED TO HER.
I KNOW THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO HURT HER.
CARLY: OK.
ROY: YEAH.
CARLY: THANK YOU.
YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN AND I CAN
FIX THAT CUT --
ROY: NO, IT'S --
SONNY: NO, NO, LET HER HELP.
LET HER HELP.
CARLY, DOWNSIRS BATHROOM,
RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE CABINET
THERE'S SOME STUFF.
GO --
CARLY: OK.
SONNY: NOW, SHE'S UPSET,
YOU KNOW?
SHE'S PREGNANT.
I DON'T WANT HER GETTING ANY
MORE UPSET THAN NECESSARY.
I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING.
HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK?
ROY: I PULLED IT OUT OF ONE
OF SOREL'S MEN.
SONNY: WELL, HOW'D YOU KNOW
SOREL GRABBED HER?
ROY: BOBBIE AND I WERE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE DINNER A COUPLE
NIGHTS AGO.
AND WHEN SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP, I
CHECKED HER HOUSE, I CHECKED
THE HOSPITAL.
BUT THE NURSES' STRIKE WAS STILL
GOING ON, SO I CALLED STRIKE
HEADQUARTERS AND FOUND OUT THAT
SHE HADN'T SHOWN UP THERE WHEN
SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO.
AND THEN CLAUDE MENTIONED THAT
HE THOUGHT SHE MIGHT HAVE
OVERHEARD ME AND BENNY IN LUKE'S
OFFICE.
SONNY: BENNY PREPPING
YOU FOR THE MEETING?
ROY: YEAH.
YOU KNOW, SHE WAS THERE.
I TOLD HER TO LEAVE.
CARLY: ROY, COME ON,
WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN.
SONNY: YEAH.
CARLY: IT'S OK, REALLY.
I USED TO BE A NURSING STUDENT,
BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
ROY: SEE, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE
LIKED ME HANDLING THAT MEETING,
SO WHEN SHE DROPPED OUT
OF SIGHT, I WENT BACK TO WHERE
THE MEETING TOOK PLACE,
AND I FOUND SOME GUY WHO SAW
A REDHEAD GETTING PUSHED
INTO A CAR.
SONNY: SO BOBBIE HEARD ABOUT
THE MEETING FROM YOU AND BENNY?
ROY: NO.
HOWEVER SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT,
IT WASN'T US.
WE DIDN'T MENTION IT.
I FIGURE SHE WENT THERE
TO CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT IT,
AND SHE MUST'VE -- SHE MUST'VE
GOTTEN CAUGHT BY SOREL.
SONNY: WELL, WHO THE HELL
ELSE KNEW ABOUT THE MEETING?
ROY: I DIDN'T TELL ANYBODY.
SONNY: WELL, BOBBIE OBVIOUSLY
FOUND OUT SOMEHOW.

ALAN: LOOTING MEDICAL FILES
ISN'T A JOKE.
A.J.: YEAH, IT'S A CRIMINAL
OFFENS I KNOW.
YOU CALLING THE COPS?
TONY: NO.
A.J.: FINE.
ALAN: NO, NO, NO. WAIT.
LET ME DRIVE YOU HOME?
A.J.: NO, THANKS.
YOU KNOW, DRIVING IS ONE
OF MY GREAT PLEASURES
AND TALENTS.
ALAN: YEAH, BUT NOT WHEN
YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING.
A.J.: DON'T WORRY.
IF I DRINK, I'LL CALL A CAB.
SEE YOU.
TONY: SO, WHEN DID HE START
DRINKING AGAIN?
ALAN: ABOUT A WEEK AGO.
IN A SPAN OF A FEW DAYS,
HE WENT FROM E.L.Q.'S C.E.O.,
HAPPY FAMILY MAN TO SOME ANGRY,
UNEMPLOYED DRUNK.
I CAN'T HELP HIM AND I CAN'T
BLAME HIM.
I'M CERTAINLY AFRAID FOR H.
TONY: WELL, HE'S SOBERED UP
BEFORE, SO MAYBE HE CAN DO IT
AGAIN.
ALAN: YEAH, BUT HE'S DRIVING
THE RIVER ROADS AT
100 MILES AN HOUR.
I'M HOPING HE DOESN'T WIND UP
IN THE MORGUE BEFORE HE CAN GET
TO A MEETING.
TONY: ALAN, DON'T GIVE UP
ON HIM.
ALAN: OH, NO, I -- I WON'T.
TOOK ME A LIFETIME TO WIND UP
IN HIS CORNER, AND I'M NOT GOING
TO LEAVE NOW.
MONICA: WHERE'S A.J.?
I KNOW HE WAS HERE.
TONY: I'M GOING HOME,
SO YOU GUYS LOCK UP WHEN
YOU LEAVE, ALL RIGHT?
MONICA: WHATEVER HAPPENED,
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
ALAN: A.J. WAS RIFLING
THROUGH TONY'S MEDICAL FILES.
MONICA: WAS HE DRUNK?
ALAN: I DON'T THINK SO.
I DIDN'T SMELL ANY ALCOHOL
ON HIS BREATH AND HE SEEMED
RATIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL.
MONICA: WELL, WHAT WAS
HE LOOKING FOR?
ALAN: HE'S LOOKING
FOR MEDICAL EVIDENCE AGAINST
SONNY.
MONICA: OH --
ALAN: SPECIFICALLY, THE TIME
WHEN HE WAS ADMITTED
INTO THE HOSPITAL FOR A HEROIN
OVERDOSE.
HE'S HOPING TO USE THAT SORT
OF THING IN COURT.
MONICA: HE'S OUT OF CONTROL,
ALAN.
ALAN: AND WE KNOW
EXACTLY WHY.
MONICA: IT'S NOT ENOUGH
TO KNOW WHY.
HE'S ON A DOWNWARD SPIRAL,
AND WE HAVE TO DO WHATEVER IT
TAKES TO STOP HIM.

CHLOE: WHAT ABOUT
THE CHAMPAGNE?
DIDN'T WE PROMISE TO DRINK
A TOAST IF THE NEWS FROM TONY
WAS GOOD?
JAX: YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
SO --
WE DON'T WANT TO BREAK THAT
PROMISE, DO WE?
SO WAIT RIGHT HERE AND I'LL BE
RIGHT BACK.
CHLOE, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE
A WONDERFUL, LONG LIFE.
AND I'M GOING TO LOVE YOU EVERY
SINGLE DAY OF IT.
CHLOE: I KNOW.
JAX: GOOD.
CHLOE: THANK YOU, GOD.

STEFAN: LAURA?
I KNOW YOU'RE THERE, LAURA.
I DON'T HAVE TO SEE YOU.
I CAN FEEL YOU.
AT LEAST SPEAK TO ME.
LAURA: I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO SAY.
STEFAN: WELL, THEN JUST
LISTEN -- THE WAY I LISTENED
TO YOU WHEN WE BOTH BELIEVED
LUCKY WAS DEAD.
I'M THE MAN WHO SEARCHED
FOR YOU THE NIGHT YOU STUMBLED
OUT TO THAT BOXCAR IN GRIEF.
I PULLED YOU OFF THOSE
RAILROAD TRACKS,
COVERED YOUR BODY WITH ME
AS THAT TRAIN SPED BY.
I BROUGHT YOU HOME
TO YOUR DAUGHTER,
YOUR MOTHER.
I WAS THERE, LAURA.
I WAS THERE.
NO ONE KNOWS YOUR PAIN BETTER
THAN I DO.
NOW, HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN
RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING
YOU THROUGH THAT?
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE I'M SUCH
A MONSTER?
HOW COULD ANYONE WHO LOVES
YOU DO THAT TO YOU?
AND YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.
TELL ME YOU KNOW.
LAURA: I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO BELIEVE ANYMORE.
I JUST KNOW THAT I'M GOING
TO FIND MY SON.
STEFAN: ALL RIGHT.
THEN AT LEAST USE ME
TO FIND HELENA.
COME ON, LAURA, UNLOCK THE DOOR.
COME ON, DO IT FOR LUCKY --
BEFORE THE CHANCE TO FIND HIM
IS GONE.
LUKE: ARE YOU MAKING SURE
THAT'S LOCKED UP TIGHT OR ARE
YOU ABOUT TO MAKE A BIG MISTAKE?

[TIRES SQUEAL]
JAX: CHLOE!
[CHLOE SCREAMS]
CARLY: DOES THAT HURT?

ROY: NO.
SONNY: COULD BOBBIE HAVE
FOLLOWED YOU TO THAT MEETING?
ROY: THAT WAS MY FIRST
THOUGHT, BUT I WASN'T TAILED.
I WAS PAYING ATTENTION.
I THINK THAT SHE --
SHE HAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN
I ARRIVED.
DURING THE MEETING, A BUNCH
OF BOXES FELL OVER IN
THE BACK, AND I
BET THAT WAS HER PUTTING UP
A STRUGGLE OR SOMETHING.
SONNY: HOW COULD SHE HAVE
TRACKED DOWN THAT ADDRESS?
I MEAN, I --
I PUT IT IN A NOTE.
IT'S -- YOU KNOW?
WOULD'VE BEEN THE DAY BEFORE
WE LEFT TO GET YOUR DIVORCE.
BOBBIE STOPPED BY HERE,
DIDN'T SHE, CARLY?
CARLY: I DON'T KNOW.
SONNY: WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU DON'T KNOW?
CARLY: I'M NOT VERY GOOD
WITH KEEPING TRACK OF DATES,
YOU KNOW.
ROY: SO HOW YOU GOING
TO PLAY IT?
YOU GOING TO --
YOU GOING TO CALL SOREL?
SONNY: WELL, I MEAN,
FIRST I GOT TO FIND OUT
IF WE HAVE A LEAK.
YOU KNOW?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S CRAZY.
I MEAN,
IF BOBBIE WAS IN HERE ALONE,
I KEEP MY DESK LOCKED.
AND THERE'S ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO
KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHERE I KEEP
THE KEY.
THAT'S ME AND --
I DON'T KNOW, WHATEVER.
CARLY: OK, I DID IT.
SONNY: HUH?
YOU WHAT?
CARLY: I DID IT.
SONNY: YEAH?
CARLY: BOBBIE CAME
BY AND SHE WAS ASKING ME
FOR HELP, AND I UNLOCKED
YOUR STUPID DESK.
I GAVE HER THE ADDRESS.
WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO SAY?
SHE NEVER ASKED ME FOR ANYTHING.
LOOK, I TOLD YOU ME LIVING HERE
WASN'T A GOOD IDEA.

MAC: LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE
SHORT-HANDED AND THERE'S
A NURSES' STRIKE, BUT YOU JUST
HAD HEART SURGERY.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
MAC: GUESS WHO'S HERE.
FELICIA, YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, I WILL.
HEY, DIDN'T YOU GET MY MESSAGE?
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME DOWN
AND GET ME.
FELICIA: SOMETHING'S
HAPPENED
I WENT FOR A QUICK WALK
AT THE ELM STREET PIER AND I SAW
HELENA CASSADINE.
SHE'S IN TOWN.
MAC, YOU PUT OUT
AN A.P.B. ON HER.
YOU HAVE TO BRING HER IN.
MAC, SHE KNOWS WHERE LUCKY IS.

LAURA: I DON'T TRUST STEFAN.
BUT I DON'T WANT HIM TO BE HURT,
EITHER.
STEFAN?
IF YOU MEANT HALF OF WHAT
YOU JUST SAID, WHEN YOU GET OUT
OF THERE YOU'LL GO STRAIGHT BACK
TO WYNDEMERE AND JUST STAY
THERE.
WHEN WE GET FAR ENOUGH OUT
OF RANGE, LUKE AND I WILL CALL
THE AUTHORITIES AND LET THEM
KNOW THAT YOU'RE --
LUKE: WE WILL NOT.
LAURA: I CAN'T JUST LEAVE HIM
IN THERE TO DIE.
LUKE: THEN I HOPE YOU HAVE
A CELL PHONE BECAUSE I'M NOT
STOPPING TO MAKE ANY PHONE
CALLS.
GREAT.
[DOOR CLOSES]
STEFAN: LAURA!
LAURA, DON'T DO THIS!
