SONNY: HOW SOON WERE
YOU THINKING OF LEAVING?
CARLY: WHY, IS THERE
A DEADLINE?
SONNY: YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
WANTS OUT.
CARLY: "WANT" HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
SONNY: MEANING WHAT?
NOBODY'S THROWING YOU OUT.
CARLY: THERE'S THINGS THAT
I WANT IN LIFE, THAT I CAN'T
LIVE WITHOUT, THAT YOU DON'T
GIVE ME.
AND, BASICALLY, WHY SHOULD YOU?
I'M NOT REALLY YOUR PROBLEM
ANYMORE.
SONNY: I THOUGHT I MADE IT
CLEAR TO YOU, YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
YOU CAN PAINT, PLASTER,
REDESIGN.
YOU CAN --
YOU CAN BUILD A TRAMPOLINE
IN THE MIDDLE OF MICHAEL'S ROOM
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
KNOCK DOWN THE WALLS --
CARLY: THERE'S THINGS IN LIFE
THAT ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN
THINGS, DON'T YOU THINK, SONNY?
I MEAN, WHY AM I HERE?
I KNOW WHY I CAME.
BUT WHY AM I HERE NOW?
SONNY: DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
YOU DO TO THIS PLACE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
YOU CAN RIP IT UP, TEAR IT DOWN,
START FROM SCRATCH, MAKE IT
INTO A DREAM HOME.
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THE ONE
THING THAT'S MISSING.
THIS PLACE REMINDS YOU
OF THE BABY.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE MOVING OUT,
RIGHT?
CARLY: NO, THAT'S NOT IT
AT ALL.

EMILY: WHO IS THIS?
GIRL: SOMEONE WHO SAW WHAT
YOU DID LAST FRIDAY.
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.
EMILY: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
[DIAL TONE]
EMILY: HELLO?
LUCKY: WHAT'S WRONG?
EMILY: IT'S ALL OVER.
ELIZABETH: EM, WHO WAS THAT?
EMILY: SOMEONE WHO SAW ME
KILL TED.

[MUSIC PLAYS]
BARTENDER: DOUBLE SCOTCH,
AGED AND SMOOTH.
LAURA: HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?
BARTENDER: BECAUSE I'M A HARD
DRIVE.
LAURA: WOW.
YOU MUST HAVE AN AMAZING MEMORY.
BARTENDER: WELL,
ONLY FOR MY CUSTOMERS WHO LOOK
AS GOOD AS YOU DO.
LAURA: THANKS.
LAURA: MMM.
ANDREAS' VOICE: BUT THAT'S
IMPOSSIBLE.
HELENA'S VOICE: IT WOULD SEEM
SO.
IN ANY EVENT, I'LL HAVE TO KEEP
A MUCH CLOSER EYE ON HER.
STEFAN: WHY CHLOE MORGAN?
WHAT DOES SHE KNOW?

[NOISE]
CHLOE: JAX?
OH, HE'S IN CANADA.
CHLOE'S VOICE: ANOTHER DREAM
ABOUT JAX.
NOT A SCARY ONE, BUT THE MUSIC
BOX IS THERE, PLAYING "SLEEPING
BEAUTY," LIKE ALWAYS.
JAX IS IN A TUXEDO.
WE'RE IN A ROOM I'VE NEVER SEEN.
CARVED WOOD, ANTIQUES.
IT'S ORNATE, LIKE THE SET
OF SOME PERIOD PLAY.
I'M ON THE BED.
JAX LEANS DOWN TO KISS ME.

JAX: WHAT'S THE HURRY?
HELENA: OH, IT'S JUST
THE FIRST NIBBLE OF THE FEAST.
THINK OF IT AS A BEDOUIN WEDDING
BANQUET.
JAX: YES, EXCEPT THIS ONLY
LASTS FOR ONE NIGHT.
HELENA: AH, BUT ONE NIGHT CAN
SHIFT THE EARTH ON ITS AXIS
AND CHANGE THE POSITION
OF THE STARS.
JAX: I THINK YOU'RE
OVERREACHING.
HELENA: ENTIRE REGIMES HAVE
FALLEN, BORDERS HAVE BEEN
REDEFINED, INVADING HORDES HAVE
BEEN VANQUISHED, ALL
IN THE COURSE OF ONE NIGHT.
JAX: IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT,
TO BE VANQUISHED?
HELENA: I'M MORE INTERESTED
IN BORDERS.
PARTICULARLY YOURS.
JAX: WELL, THEN YOU'RE
IN LUCK BECAUSE MY FRONTIERS ARE
OPEN TONIGHT.
HELENA: NOT YET.
BUT THEY SOON WILL BE.
JAX: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING,
THAT I'M NOT RECEPTIVE NOW?
HELENA: AH.
BEHIND THAT MISCHIEVOUS GLINT
IN YOUR EYE I DETECT THE SHADOW
OF DREAD.
PART OF YOU WANTS TO REACH OUT
TO ME.
BUT ANOTHER PART IS REPELLED.
JAX: AND REPULSION --
DOES THIS EXCITE YOU?
HELENA: IT'S DESIRE
IN ITS PUREST STATE.
JAX: IS THAT AN ORIGINAL
THEORY?
HELENA: IT'S MORE THAN
A THEORY.
IT'S A PROMISE ON WHICH I WILL
ACT TONIGHT.
JAX: CHANGING THE POSITION
OF THE STARS?
YOU SET THE BAR AWFULLY HIGH.
HELENA: AH, YOU'VE NEVER
EXPERIENCED THAT ELECTRIC MOMENT
WHEN LOATHING BECOMES DESIRE,
WHEN THE VERY THING YOU'VE TRIED
TO STAVE OFF BECOMES THE THING
YOU CRAVE THE MOST?
JAX: LET ME THINK ABOUT IT.
HELENA: THESE NEXT FEW HOURS
ARE GOING TO BE VERY
ILLUMINATING.
JAX: I HAVE A FEW SURPRISES
FOR YOU, TOO.
HELENA: I DON'T SURPRISE
EASILY.
JAX: WELL, THEN,
YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT.
BECAUSE I AM GOING TO SHOW
YOU A SIDE, AN ALTERNATE SIDE
TO JAX, THAT NO ONE'S EVER SEEN.
HELENA: OH?
NOT EVEN CHLOE?
JAX: NOT EVEN CHLOE.
SHE WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
BUT YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND --
I THINK YOU'LL BE THRILLED.
HELENA: YOU TAKE MY BREATH
AWAY.
JAX: THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE
FOR.
HELENA: THAT AND
MY PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY.
JAX: WELL, I'M AS COMPETITIVE
AS YOU ARE.
I MEAN, WHY GO FOR ONE SINGLE
GOAL WHEN I CAN WALK OUT OF HERE
WITH YOUR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY
IN MY POCKET AND YOUR
IMAGINATION IN THE PALM
OF MY HAND.
HELENA: YOU'RE OFF
TO A RUNNING START.
JAX: WELL, THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, SINCE YOU'RE DRESSED
LIKE AN EMPRESS AT A BALL,
PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO DANCE.
HELENA: HAVEN'T WE BEEN?
JAX: TO MUSIC.
HELENA: OH.
ON OUR FEET?
JAX: AT FIRST.
HELENA: WHY NOT?
THE NIGHT IS LONG.
JAX: AND FULL OF PROMISE.
["SLEEPING BEAUTY" THEME PLAYS]
HELENA: IT'S NOT
TO YOUR LIKING?
JAX: OH, NO.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I HAD
IN MIND.

CARLY: IT'S NOT ABOUT THIS
PLACE.
I THINK ABOUT OUR BABY ALL
THE TIME.
BUT HE'S IN MY HEART, SO IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHERE I AM.
SONNY: ANYWHERE BUT HERE,
IS THAT IT?
CARLY: I JUST DON'T THINK
THAT I BELONG HERE,
SONNY, YOU KNOW?
CAN YOU THINK OF A REASON THAT
I DO?
SONNY: YOU WANT A LIST?
I CAN GIVE YOU A LIST --
CARLY: ONE GOOD REASON.
SONNY: UH --
BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE
YOU WANT TO GO.
PLUS ALL YOUR STUFF'S HERE.
SO IF IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE WHERE YOU GO,
YOU MIGHT AS WELL STAY.
CARLY: IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
SONNY: DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.
CARLY: NO.
DO YOU CARE WHERE I LIVE OR NOT?
SONNY: IT'S GOT TO BE SAFE.
CARLY: THAT'S ALL YOU CARE
ABOUT?
SONNY: WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME, CARLY?
CARLY: I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO WANT
ANYTHING FROM YOU.
SONNY: WELL, IT'S NEVER
STOPPED YOU BEFORE.
CARLY: YOU REMEMBER WHEN
I CAME HERE, WHEN YOU BROUGHT ME
HERE?
SONNY: YEAH.
CARLY: YOU REMEMBER WHAT
I SAID?
SONNY: A LOT OF KIND
OF RIDICULOUS THINGS.
CARLY: DO YOU REMEMBER
THE MAIN REASON THAT I WANTED
TO LEAVE?
SONNY: YEAH, YOU --
YOU WERE HOLDING OUT FOR THE BIG
ROMANCE.
CARLY: YOU SAID THAT I'D BE
ALONE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
SONNY: WELL, THAT WAS
A LIFETIME AGO.
CARLY: NO, THAT WAS THREE
MONTHS AGO.
SONNY: A LOT OF THINGS HAVE
CHANGED.
CARLY: WHAT'S CHANGED?
OK, SONNY, WHAT'S CHANGED?
WE LOST OUR CHILD.
BESIDES THAT, WHAT CHANGED?
SONNY: NOTHING, ALL RIGHT?
CARLY: THE MAIN THING THAT
I SEE THAT CHANGED IS THAT
YOU LOST YOUR REASON TO KEEP ME
HERE.
SONNY: WELL, AS FAR AS
I CAN SEE, THE MAIN THING
IS THAT YOU LOST YOUR REASON
FOR STAYING.
CARLY: THAT'S NOT --
I DON'T WANT TO BE AN OBLIGATION
TO YOU.
SONNY: WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO BE?
CARLY: I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO BE?
YOU WANT ME TO BE YOUR ROOMMATE?
I MEAN, DO YOU WANT ME TO BE
ANOTHER MOUTH THAT YOU FEED,
SOMEBODY YOU PICK UP AFTER?
OR DO I DO SOMETHING FOR YOU?
THAT I DON'T KNOW.
SONNY: STAY OR GO.
YOU KNOW, IT'S FINE WITH ME.

LUCKY: WHAT EXACTLY DID
THEY SAY?
EMILY: SHE SAID, "I WAS THERE
LAST FRIDAY.
I SAW WHAT YOU DID."
ELIZABETH: THAT'S IT?
NO SPECIFICS?
LUCKY: DO YOU REMEMBER
ANYTHING ABOUT THE VOICE?
EMILY: NO, IT WAS JUST
A NORMAL GIRL'S VOICE.
THAT'S IT.
LUCKY: ARE YOU SURE IT'S NOT
A MAN PRETENDING TO BE A GIRL
OR SOMEBODY SPEAKING THROUGH
A VOICE-ALTERING DEVICE?
EMILY: NO.
NO, JUST A NORMAL VOICE.
YOU DON'T THINK SHE'S GOING
TO CALL THE POLICE OR SOMETHING,
DO YOU, LUCKY?
LUCKY: SHE MAY NOT HAVE
ANYTHING TO TELL THE POLICE
AT ALL.
ELIZABETH: YEAH, WHY ELSE
WOULD SHE BE SO VAGUE?
EMILY: SO WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO DO, JUST PRETEND LIKE I NEVER
GOT THAT PHONE CALL OR --
LUCKY: YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK WE SHOULD RUN THIS
BY NIKOLAS.
EMILY: YEAH. YEAH.

[MUSIC PLAYS]
HELENA: WELL, LOVELY BUT
DISAPPOINTING.
JAX: SURELY I DIDN'T STEP
ON YOUR TOES.
HELENA: YOU HAVEN'T YET BARED
THE SECRET JAX, THE ONE THAT
NO ONE EVER SEES.
JAX: YOU DON'T BELIEVE
IN PRELIMINARIES?
HELENA: ASTONISH ME.
SHOW ME YOUR HIDDEN SELF.
JAX: AS SOON AS YOU SHOW ME
THE TRANSFER PAPERS AND AN AMPLE
SUPPLY OF CHLOE'S TREATMENT.
HELENA: AH, CHLOE'S TREATMENT
NOW, IS IT?
AREN'T YOU GETTING AHEAD
OF YOURSELF?
JAX: BELIEVE ME, IF WHAT
I WANT ISN'T ON THIS YACHT,
THIS EVENING ENDS RIGHT NOW.
HELENA: OH, PITY.
YOU DON'T TRUST ME.
JAX: TRUST YOU AS MUCH
AS YOU TRUST ME.
HELENA: YOU PROMISED ME
SURPRISES.
NOW, WHEN DO YOU PLAN FOR THOSE
TO START?
JAX: THE MOMENT YOU TELL ME
WHERE YOU'VE HIDDEN THE PAPERS
AND THE MEDICATION THAT WILL
SAVE CHLOE'S SIGHT.
HELENA: UNDER THE BED
IN A LEATHER CASE.
I SUPPOSE YOU WANT TO CHECK.
JAX: ALL IN GOOD TIME.
HELENA: AND IN THE MEANTIME?
JAX: I FEEL MY HIDDEN SELF
EMERGING.
HELENA: OH.
AND WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP
YOU DRAW IT OUT?

SONNY: WHERE DO YOU COME UP
WITH THIS STUFF AND WHERE
THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GOING WITH IT?
CARLY: I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M
GOING, BUT I'M GOING.
SONNY: WELL, THEN --
DID I TRY TO STOP YOU?
CARLY: NO, YOU DIDN'T,
ACTUALLY.
SONNY: WELL, THEN WHAT'S
THE PROBLEM?
YOU GOT AN ATTITUDE --
CARLY: YOU KNOW WHAT,
THE PROBLEM IS I WALKED IN HERE
AND YOU WERE HOLDING GLASS
IN YOUR HAND AND FONDLING
THE SHARDS, SO DON'T TELL ME
THAT YOU'RE FINE.
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT FINE EITHER
WAY.
I KNOW YOU.
LOOK, YOU'RE TOTALLY INTENSE
ABOUT THE THINGS YOU CARE ABOUT,
THE THINGS THAT YOU --
LETICIA: EXCUSE ME.
HE WOKE UP ASKING FOR BOTH
OF YOU.
I THINK HE HAD A BAD DREAM.
CARLY: HEY, SWEETHEART.
OH, LET MOMMY GET IT.
OK.
COME HERE.
IT'S OK.
OH, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK.
WE'RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE.

MICHAEL: I WANT TO GET DOWN.
EMILY: OK, THANK YOU.
OK, WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW
SHE KNEW TO CALL HERE.
LUCKY: MAYBE SHE SAW
YOU THROUGH THE WINDOW.
ELIZABETH: YOU KNOW, THIS IS
SOUNDING WAY TOO FAMILIAR.
THE LAST TIME WE TRIED TO TRACK
DOWN A BLACKMAILER, HE WAS
STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT
OUR FACES AND WE GOT A LOT MORE
THAN WE BARGAINED FOR, REMEMBER?
LUCKY: YEAH, BUT WE NAILED
HIM AND WE PULLED TOGETHER.
THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
NIKOLAS: HEY, ANY MORE CALLS
SINCE THE LAST ONE?
EMILY: NO ONE'S CALLED
MY HOUSE.
NIKOLAS: THERE'S BEEN
NO MENTION OF MONEY YET?
EMILY: NO, NOT YET.
BUT, I MEAN, DO YOU THINK THAT'S
THE NEXT THING TO COME?
ELIZABETH: OK, BEST CASE --
SHE KNOWS YOUR NAME AND FACE.
E KNOWS THAT YOU COME
FROM A WEALTHY FAMILY.
SHE KNOWS THAT YOU WENT
TO A RAVE WHERE DRUGS WERE
PROBABLY BEING USED.
THE REST SHE'S GUESSING.
SHE'S HOPING TO PUSH
YOUR BUTTONS.
I THINK IF YOU JUST ACT COOL,
THEN SHE'LL PROBABLY BACK OFF,
LEAVE YOU ALONE.
LUCKY: THAT'D BE NICE,
BUT CHANCES ARE THAT THIS IS
JUST STEP ONE IN A WHOLE PLAN.
NIKOLAS: YEAH.
PLANT THE FEAR AND WAIT.
LET YOU SUFFER.
LUCKY: CALL BACK,
DEMAND A CASH DROP-OFF.
EMILY: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS
IS HAPPENING.
LUCKY: IT'S BEST THAT
WE ASSUME THAT WE WILL HEAR
FROM HER AGAIN.

[MUSIC PLAYS]
LAURA: ANOTHER DOUBLE,
PLEASE.
BARTENDER: YOU GOT IT.
TIM: LAURA?
LAURA: OH.
AH, MY POOL PARTNER.
WOW.
TIM: YEAH.
LAURA: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
TIM: IT'S --
LAURA: TIM.
I REMEMBERED.
TIM: WOW.
YOU KNOW, THEY SHOULD HAVE
A FIRST-NAME INDEX IN THE PHONE
BOOK.
LAURA: OH.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF LAURAS.
TIM: AH, YES AND NO.
LAURA: I THOUGHT I'D GIVE IT
ANOTHER SHOT.
TIM: WHAT'S THAT, POOL?
LAURA: FUN.
TIM: WELL, LISTEN, LET ME
KNOW IF I CAN BE ASSISTANCE.
LAURA: I NEED ALL THE HELP
I COULD GET.
TIM: WELL, LOOKS LIKE
THE POOL TABLE'S TAKEN,
BUT I THINK THE DANCE FLOOR'S
EMPTY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
LAURA: THINKING IS NO FUN.
LET'S DANCE.
TIM: LET'S.
LAURA: OK.
TIM: COME ON.
LAURA: I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE
HERE.
TIM: YEAH, IT'S GD TO SEE
YOU.
LAURA: I CAME LOOKING
FOR YOU ONCE BEFORE.
TIM: NO, YOU DIDN'T.
LAURA: I DID!
TIM: REALLY?
LAURA: I DID.
TIM: WOW.

HELENA: WELL, WHEN THE HIDDEN
JAX REVEALS HIMSELF, IS THERE
A PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION?
JAX: WOLF-LIKE FANGS,
FUR ON THE FACE.
WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?
HELENA: WELL, ONE NEVER
KNOWS.
JAX: ARE YOU SURE THIS IS
WHAT YOU REALLY WANT?
HELENA: WITHOUT A DOUBT.
JAX: GOOD.
YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF SEXUALLY
DARING?
HELENA: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
JAX: OH, I'M COUNTING ON IT.
HELENA: MY, THE HIDDEN JAX IS
UNPREDICTABLE.
OR IS THIS THE OLD JAX THAT
I NEVER KNEW?
JAX: BOTH.
HELENA: OH, YES.
JAX: SUCH SLENDER WRISTS.
HELENA: OH, MY.
JAX: RELAX.
HELENA: WELL, I'M --
I'M NOT OBJECTING --
JAX: YOU SAID YOU WANTED
SURPRISES, YES?
HELENA: NOW I DO OBJECT.
JAX: HOW CAN I SWAY YOU?
HELENA: WELL, RELEASE ME
AND WE'LL DISCUSS IT.
JAX: WITH AN OPEN MIND?
HELENA: WELL, I'VE BEEN
ACCUSED OF MANY THINGS,
MY DEAR, BUT PRUDISHNESS WAS
NEVER ONE OF THEM.
JAX: SO YOU WANT TO MULL IT
OVER, WEIGH THE PROS AND CONS?
HELENA: YES, BRIEFLY,
BEFORE WE PLUNGE ON.
JAX: HMM.
WELL, NO.
I HAVE A BETTER WAY.
HELENA: THERE'S NO OTHER --
JAX: OH, YES, THERE IS.
BELIEVE ME, I'VE DONE THIS
BEFORE.
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
JAX: WHAT'S THAT?
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
JAX: YOU'D LIKE ME TO TAKE
MY HAND AWAY FROM YOUR MOUTH?
HELENA: [MUFFLED] YES.
JAX: WELL, ANYTHING TO PLEASE
YOU, HELENA.
HELENA: RELEASE ME.
THIS IS RIDIC--
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
JAX: WOW.
POWERLESSNESS BECOMES YOU.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU MORE
BEAUTIFUL.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
TRUTH BEING BEAUTY?
WELL, I'M ABOUT TO FIND OUT HOW
BEAUTIFUL YOU REALLY ARE.
HOW LONG DO YOU SUPPOSE IT WILL
TAKE ME TO FIND THE TRANSFER
PAPERS AND THE MEDICATION
FOR CHLOE?
ARE THEY REALLY HERE?
I HOPE SO BECAUSE YOU'RE
IN NO POSITION TO MAKE ME MAD.
WELL, YOU SAID THEY WERE UNDER
THE BED.
SO, WHAT THE HELL?
WHY DON'T I JUST LOOK?

SONNY: HERE, NOW, YOU SEE,
THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT
NIGHTMARES IS WAKING UP AND --
MICHAEL: YEAH.
SONNY: YEAH?
AND REALIZING THAT THEY'RE GONE,
THAT ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS
IN YOUR HEAD WAS NOTHING.
IT WAS JUST, NOTHING WAS
IN YOUR HEAD.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
YOU TURN ON THE LIGHTS.
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
PEOPLE ARE WHO -- YOU KNOW,
ARE WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE.
YOUR MAMA'S THERE.
LETICIA'S THERE.
THEY LOVE YOU SO MUCH,
RIT, RIGHT?
AND I LOVE YOU, TOO, BUDDY.
LET ME SEE THAT BOAT.
IT'S NOT A BOAT.
IT'S A PLANE.
YOU LIKE THAT?
MICHAEL: NO -- JET.
SONNY: IT'S A JET?
MICHAEL: YEAH.
SONNY: YEAH?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
NOBODY'S EVER GOING TO HURT YOU.
WE WON'T LET THEM IF THEY TRIED,
RIGHT?
GIVE ME A HUG.
BABY, BABY, BABY.
YOU'RE A CUTE KID.
GIVE ME A KISS.

EMILY: OH, GOD.
I'M SO SORRY THAT I GOT YOU GUYS
TRAPPED INTO THIS.
ELIZABETH: I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
EMILY: BUT, ELIZABETH,
WHAT ABOUT THAT GIRL
ON THE PHONE?
ELIZABETH: SHE MAY NOT KNOW
ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT YOU'RE
A QUARTERMAINE.
NIKOLAS: YEAH.
THIS HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY ALL
THE TIME.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ALWAYS TRY
AND FIND SOME KIND OF WAY
TO EXTORT US, USUALLY BASED
ON NOTHING.
WELL, SOMETIMES BASED
ON NOTHING.
ELIZABETH: EMILY, WE'RE ALL
GOING TO BE JUST FINE.
I KNOW IT.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH BAD STUFF
BEFORE.
LUCKY: THE TRICK IS
WE HANG TOGETHER.
IT WORKED IN THE PAST, AND IT'LL
WORK FOR US AGAIN.
EMILY: OK.

[MUSIC PLAYS]
MIKE: HELLO, THERE.
HI.
TAMMY: HOW ARE YOU DOING,
LAURA?
LAURA: HI.
I'M -- I'M --
I WAS HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME.
THESE ARE SOME PEOPLE
FROM MY OTHER LIFE, THE ONE THAT
I WAS TRYING TO FORGET ABOUT
TONIGHT.
MIKE: I'M MIKE.
THIS IS TAMMY.
YOU'RE --
TIM: TIM.
LAURA: A FRIEND OF MINE THAT
I HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED,
AND I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE
TO DISCOVER HIM.
TAMMY: WELL, MIKE
AND I ACTUALLY HAD JUST DECIDED
TO LEAVE.
CAN WE DROP YOU SOMEPLACE?
LAURA: DO I LOOK READY TO GO?
TAMMY: NO, ACTUALLY, I --
LAURA: IF I WANT TO GO,
TAMMY, I HAVE A CAR.
MIKE: WELL, LOOK, I THINK
THAT TAMMY'S JUST CONCERNED
THAT --
LAURA: ALL RIGHT.
SHE'S CONCERNED.
SHE'S SUCH A CAREGIVER,
ISN'T SHE?
JUST ASK HER HOW SHE TOOK CARE
OF MY HUSBAND THE NIGHT
OF MY SON'S FUNERAL.
YOU REMEMBER THAT?
SHE TOOK CARE OF MY HUSBAND
RIGHT UP AGAINST A BAR.
AND I DON'T MEAN WITH THIS.
NOW, DID I INTERRUPT?
DID I SAY ANYTHING?
DID I INTRUDE ON YOUR LITTLE --
YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT WAS?
NO, I TURNED AROUND AND I WALKED
AWAY.
SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO
THE SAME.
OH.
LET'S GET ANOTHER.
TIM: YEAH, ANOTHER ROUND.

JAX: YOU KNOW, IF YOU'D TOLD
ME THE TRUTH, THEN MY SEARCH
WOULD BE OVER BY NOW
AND WE COULD --
WELL, WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
WE COULD PROCEED TO THE CLIMAX
OF THE EVENING.
BUT INSTEAD WE'RE BOGGED DOWN
WITH HIDE-AND-SEEK.
WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
COULD THIS BE THE MEDICATION
FOR CHLOE?
AND THE CONTROLLING INTEREST
OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY
THAT MAKES IT?
WELL, IT ALL SEEMS TO BE
IN ORDER.
EXCEPT FOR YOUR SIGNATURE.
YOU BAD GIRL.
DID YOU EVER HAVE A CHEMISTRY
SET WHEN YOU WERE A KID?
I USED TO LOVE MIXING FLUIDS
TOGETHER.
NOW, FACTS TELL ME THAT
IF I TAKE ONE OF THESE PILLS
OF THIS PARTICULAR DRUG AND PUT
IT IN WATER, IT SHOULD TURN
BLUE.
HOW LOVELY.
THE GENUINE ARTICLE.
YOU'RE HONEST FOR ONCE, HELENA.
I'M TOUCHED.
BUT THERE IS STILL
THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR SIGNATURE.
GOING TO BE A BIT OF A STUMBLING
BLOCK.
ON THE OTHER HAND --
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
JAX: YES.
YOUR E-MAIL LINK
TO CHRISTIAN RHONDINI,
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF GENETICS
PHARMACEUTICAL.
WELL, SINCE YOU'RE ALL TIED UP
AT THE MOMENT, WHY DON'T
YOU ALLOW ME TO COMMUNICATE
ON YOUR BEHALF.
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
JAX: "DEAREST CHRISTIAN,
YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT
THE TERMS OF THE SALE
OF GENETICS PHARMACEUTICALS
TO JASPER JACKS,
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
SIGNED, HELENA CASSADINE."
DOUBLE S?
YEAH.
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
JAX: YOU PROMISED ME
AN ELECTRIFYING MOMENT, HELENA.
WELL, FINALLY HERE IT IS.
YOUR E-MAIL HAS BEEN SENT.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]
JAX: YEAH.
WELL DONE.
THAT WAS MY LAWYER FROM GENEVA.
HE SAID THE TRANSFER IS FINAL
AND COMPLETE.
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY YOU'VE
MADE ME.
I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO SHOW YOU.
OOH, WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
SILK SCARF.
THIS SHOULD BE A LOT MORE
COMFORTABLE FOR YOU.
SOMETHING SO VERY SENSUAL ABOUT
SILK, ISN'T THERE?
THERE.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO GO.
BUT I HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME.
I HAD A MAGICAL EVENING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND, HELENA, WELL, YOU REALLY
DID TURN OUT TO BE EVERYTHING
I HOPED YOU'D BE.
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
[MUSIC PLAYS]
TIM: I CAN'T IMAGINE THE PAIN
OF LOSING A CHILD, LAURA.
LAURA: I HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE
TO FIND OUT.
TAMMY: I HAD NO IDEA LAURA
SAW ME WITH LUKE.
MIKE: THAT WAS A TERRIBLE
NIGHT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
TAMMY: LUKE WAS DESTROYED.
AND SHE'S RIGHT, WHAT SHE SAID.
HE NEEDED TO BE HELD.
IT WAS COMFORT.
AND I KNOW THAT LAURA DOESN'T
BELIEVE THAT, BUT I --
MIKE: HEY, HEY --
YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO ME.
TAMMY: FOR A LITTLE WHILE,
I HELPED HIM.
AND I'VE NEVER BEEN SORRY.
UNTIL NOW.

LAURA: SO MUCH FOR
MY EXPERIMENT IN FUN.
TIM: WELL, IF AT FIRST
YOU DON'T SUCCEED --
LAURA: NOT TONIGHT.
TIM: I MEANT SOME OTHER TIME.
LAURA: YEAH.
TIM: LISTEN, YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO DRIVE YOURSELF HOME, ARE YOU?
LAURA: NO.
THAT'S OK.
I HAVE ANOTHER WAY TO GET HOME.
TIM: ARE YOU SURE?
BECAUSE, HONEY, I'D BE GLAD
TO DROP YOU OFF OR --
LAURA: I KNOW.
IT'S OK, REALLY.
THANK YOU.
TIM: YOU'RE WELCOME.
LAURA: YOU REALLY ARE
A NICE GUY.
TIM: I'M GLAD I SAW
YOU AGAIN, LAURA.
LAURA: I'M GLAD I SAW YOU,
TOO.
TIM: I'LL BE AROUND.
LAURA: OK.
TIM: BYE.
LAURA: BYE.
TIM: THANKS, MAN.
BARTENDER: HAVE A GOOD
EVENING.
LAURA: HI, IT'S ME.
UM --
I THINK I NEED -- I THINK --
SOME HELP.

CARLY: YOU'RE SO GOOD
WITH HIM.
SONNY: IT'S EASY.
I LOVE THAT KID.
CARLY: HE LOVES YOU,
TOO, YOU KNOW?
SONNY: WELL, NOTHING
COMPLICATED ABOUT LOVING A KID.
CARLY: AS OPPOSED TO LOVING
AN ADULT?
NEVER MIND.
I AGREE.
I DON'T WANT THINGS TO CHANGE
FOR YOU AND MICHAEL.
SONNY: WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO ABOUT THAT?
CARLY: YOU VISIT HIM.
HE VISITS YOU.
ALL THE TIME.
SONNY: GREAT.
CARLY: IF YOU WANT TO.
I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T --
SONNY: WELL, I MEAN,
YOU KNOW --
IF IT WAS UP TO ME,
MICHAEL WOULD NEVER LEAVE.
HE'S BEEN THROUGH TOO MANY
CHANGES ALREADY.
CARLY: FINE.
I'M A TRAIN WRECK OF A MOTHER.
SONNY: DID I -- COME ON,
NOW, CARLY, DID I SAY THAT?
CARLY: CAN WE NOT FIGHT?
SONNY: WELL, WHO'S FIGHT--
I'M JUST TRYING TO TELL
YOU SOMETHING.
CARLY: WHAT ARE YOU TRYING
TO TELL ME?
THAT I'M A HORRIBLE PARENT.
SONNY: THIS IS ABOUT ME NOW.
CARLY: SURE.
OK, WELL, I'M SORRY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY?
SONNY: MICHAEL'S ROUTINES --
YOU KNOW, THE ROOM HE SLEEPS
IN -- I WISH IT COULD STAY THAT
WAY.
CARLY: WELL, HOW DO WE DO
THAT?
SONNY: I MEAN, BE THE SAME
THING.
IF I CALL THE SHOTS,
NOTHING WOULD CHANGE.
CARLY: FOR MICHAEL, YOU MEAN?
SONNY: WELL, YOU KNOW.
CARLY: I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
SONNY: I DON'T WANT TO LET GO
OF MICHAEL.
DON'T WORRY.
I'LL SEE HIM A LOT.

[MUSIC PLAYS]
LAURA: HI.
LESLEY: WHAT'S UP?
LAURA: I THINK I'M TRYING
TO SELF-DESTRUCT.
LESLEY: WHY, BECAUSE YOU HAD
ONE TOO MANY?
LAURA: I HAD ONE TOO MANY
ON THREE DIFFERENT NIGHTS TRYING
TO FORGET WHO I AM.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH ME.
I REALLY DON'T.

MIKE: YOU WERE A FRIEND WHEN
LUKE NEEDED ONE.
YOU MAY HAVE SAVED HIS LIFE.
TAMMY: I JUST GOT HIM THROUGH
THE NIGHT.
THAT'S ALL.
MIKE: THAT'S A HELL OF A LOT.
LET'S DANCE.

LESLEY: YOU DON'T HAVE
TO FORGET WHO YOU ARE.
YOU HAVE TO TRY REALLY HARD
TO REMEMBER.
LAURA: TO REMEMBER?
I'M THE WOMAN WHOSE SON CAN'T
STAND HER, WHOSE HUSBAND
AND SOUL MATE FOUND SOMEBODY
ELSE.
LESLEY: NOW, YOU STOP THAT.
LAURA: WHAT ABOUT STEFAN?
WHAT ABOUT --
LESLEY: UH-UH. NO.
THIS LIST OF THINGS -- THIS IS
NOT YOU.
THEY ARE YOUR PROBLEMS,
AND THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE,
YOU KNOW.
YOU -- YOU NEED TO --
YOU NEED TO GO WALK ON A BEACH
SOMEWHERE AND LISTEN
TO THE SOUND OF THE WAVES
AND REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE
LIFE AND ALL THE WONDERFUL
QUALITIES THAT MAKE
