Hayden/Rachel lays down the law to Nikolas. She informs him she has proof, that will hold up in court, that he got her shot. She can and will have him sent to prison for attempted murder unless he signs over his ELQ shares to her. He refuses until she reminds him that when Spencer comes home from school, he'll wonder where his dad is and Nikolas will only see his son again through a window at the prison. At that point, he knows he has no choice so he complies with her terms. At that point, she declares she need not stay at Wyndemere and he need not stay married to her any longer, as long as she can leave with what she wants. Meanwhile, as Tracy is recovering in her hospital bed after the surgery, she knows she has to contact Hayden/Rachel to inform her that Tracy is coming back very soon and has a text sent to her. As soon as Hayden/Rachel receives the message, she rushes to see Tracy and happily informs her she was "successful" in taking ELQ shares from Nikolas. Hearing that, Tracy is encouraged assuming that means she's given it back to the Quartermaines until Hayden/Rachel informs her she did not do that and is keeping it for herself. At that point, Tracy is certain Hayden/Rachel cannot get away with that and will regret it when she exposes her true identity and everyone knows that she (Hayden/Rachel) is the daughter and co-conspirator of the notorious Raymond Berlin. Hayden/Rachel is not worried about that however when she reveals to Ned who she is and Tracy can see she's not afraid to make it known. Anna rushes to board a private jet with Sonny to hopefully find Carlos Rivera in Puerto Rico. While they're en route to their destination, Paul breaks free after she's knocked him out with Chloroform and tied him up, in her living room. He knows where to find her and has the authorities detain her and prevent her from getting off the plane as they inform her she's under arrest. Yet they tell Sonny he's free to visit Puerto, go where he wants and do what he wants. She finds it odd that Paul would not want to arrest Sonny and then realizes the reason he's let Sonny go is because he believes Sonny will be likely to kill Carlos (which is what Paul wants). Maxie and Nathan are happily together yet he is still uneasy with her "understanding" that he was an honorable "victim" of Claudette from Canada who needed a green card and married him only to obtain that and the "betrayal" she exercised upon him. Maxie promises not to need to know more about Claudette until he leaves her alone in the room, at which point she gets on her laptop and looks up the identity of Claudette West.
Nathan: I'm glad we finally got our schedules synced up and could steal some time together. Maxie: Yeah, me too. Nathan: [Sighs] This afternoon was perfect, like everything else about our lives. Just perfect. [SCENE_BREAK] [Monitor beeping] Tracy: Hey. Ned: Hello, Mother. Tracy: What? I look terrible. Ned: No, no, no, not at all. Um, I was actually gonna be my sarcastic self, but I can't. I'm just so relieved that the surgery went so well. Tracy: I have to warn you -- I have been a little, uh, uncharacteristically emotional. I told Monica I loved her. Ned: I wish I'd gotten that on camera. Tracy: Well, the good news is I just had a really long nap. So actually, I'm feeling a lot more like myself. Kind of ready to take on the world. Ned: That's my mother. Zero to 60 in nothing flat. Tracy: Yeah, but I'm not kidding. I have been out of commission for way too long. Would you hand me my phone? Ned: No, no, I-I don't want you talking to anybody that'll get you all riled up. Tracy: Oh, I'm not riled up. I'm fired up. It's time for me to tell a certain bitch I'm back. [SCENE_BREAK] Hayden: Nikolas, wait. Nikolas: What? Hayden: I can't go on with this tension between us like this. Nikolas: Really? Because nothing is going to change on my end. Hayden: I know that, which is why I've come to a decision. We both know I have the proof that you tried to have me killed. I can, and I will, have you arrested unless you sign these documents. Nikolas: Y-you mean the papers that, uh, Diane had drawn up? The ones giving you all of my shares of ELQ, basically my entire fortune? [Chuckles] It will be a cold day in hell when I sign those. Hayden: Spencer will be back in a couple of days, and if you don't sign these documents within the hour, the next time he sees you, it'll be behind bars. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: [Grumbles, laughs] Sam: Ooh! You know, I've loved the past few hours with you. Jason: Oh, yeah? Me too. I was afraid that you'd be gone by the time I got back from talking to Sonny. Sam: No. Jason: No? Sam: Even if I hadn't wanted to spend more time with you, which I did, I would have stayed out of curiosity 'cause I wanted to hear what -- what was said. Jason: Don't con me. Sam: No. Jason: You knew he wasn't gonna listen to me. Sam: No, I know. I think Carly knew it, too. She just wanted to feel like she did everything she could, which I want to thank you for doing that for her. Jason: [Clears throat] The thing is, I get what Sonny's trying to do. He's righting a wrong. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: The information Robert gave you is good. Carlos has been spotted in this neighborhood a few times, called La Mariscal. Anna: Okay. How big an area are we looking at here? Sonny: Mm, four-block radius. Anna: Okay. Well, I guess if, uh, Sabrina and the baby are still with him, he's not gonna want to go far. Sonny: So, uh, what I think we -- we should do is we should probably start in -- in a park. You okay? You having second thoughts? Anna: No, I'm not. I've waited a long time for this opportunity. Sonny: Well, you seem, uh, a little distracted. Anna: Yeah, I am. It's a loose end, that's all. Sonny: Oh. Anna: Back in Port Charles. Unfortunately, I-I can't monitor it remotely, so... Sonny: You talking about the DA? [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: [Sighs] Damn it, Anna. What have you done? [Groans] [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: [Sighs] What are you doing? Sam: Just straightening up. Jason: Uh, it's fine. I can -- I can do it. Sam: I got it. Jason: I can do -- what are you doing? Sam: Nothing. Jason: You're doing something. You're clearly upset. What's going on with you? Sam: You just -- you just said something about righting a wrong. Jason: And you think I mean something other than Sonny going after Carlos? Sam: You were talking about Nikolas, weren't you? Jason: Yeah, absolutely. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikolas: Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you the one who decreed that we continue to live here together as a married couple, me knowing that you're really Rachel Berlin, you alleging that I tried to have you killed? You know, trying to keep everything the same. Hayden: One night waiting for you to stab me in my sleep was enough to change that. I need full control of ELQ to protect myself both physically and financially. Nikolas: If I sign... these documents... basically giving you my entire fortune, who's to say that you won't -- you won't call the police right then? And don't -- don't embarrass yourself by saying that you're giving me your word. Hayden: As soon as you sign the documents, I'll provide a statement about what happened that day at the garage that totally exonerates you. The police would never be able to move forward with the investigation, because any accusation I made against you would be refuted by that document. Nikolas: You are blackmailing me into giving you everything that I have ev-- Hayden: God. You're still hurt from that fight with Jason. Are you sure you shouldn't call a doctor? Nikolas: Oh, you -- you are... you, honestly -- you are too much. You and your -- and your partner in extortion... y-you started threatening me yesterday until Jason shows up and tries to kill me, then you show up in my bedroom tending my wounds and end up spending the night in my bed. Who are you? Hayden: I'm sorry this has gotten so acrimonious. Nikolas: Yeah, well, I'm sorry I didn't realize you were such a greedy manipulator. Hayden: You can call me every name in the book. It doesn't change the final outcome. It's time for me to move on. Nikolas: Good. The sooner the better. Hayden: I'll be leaving Wyndemere with your fortune, as you no doubt have realized, or you wouldn't be so angry. Laura: What's going on here? Oh, my God. What happened? Are you all right? Hayden: Nikolas was just saying goodbye... to a lot of things. [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Water. [Bottle clatters] Paul: That's very thoughtful, but I won't be here long enough. Oh, come on. There's got to be something. Aah! [Sighs] Damn it. [Finds a paper clip] Thank you, Anna. This had better work. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: You said something when we were taking off -- something cryptic about a loose end or... Anna: It doesn't concern you. Everything about our plan is just fine. It will be once we find Carlos, we bring him back to the States, we nail Julian for ordering Duke's murder. It'll all be fine. Sonny: Okay. Sounds good. So, we got to talk about what we're gonna do when we land. Anna: Do you know what I'm really concerned about is what's gonna happen when we find Carlos, honestly. Sonny: Well, we're gonna bring him on the plane. We're gonna take him back to Port Charles. Anna: That might be your intention now, but what happens when you are face-to- face with the man who shot you and who killed Duke? No, are you gonna be overwhelmed with anger? Are you gonna want to end it right there and then on your own terms? Because it's a familiar feeling to me. I can tell you that. Sonny: What does that mean? Anna: It just means that there was a time that I didn't believe I could bring Carlos to justice in a conventional way. I do now, and that is what I want to do. And I am going to do it even -- even if -- Sonny: Even if what? Anna: I go to prison. Sonny: Why would you even bring that up, unless you -- you're gonna kill Carlos when you -- when you see him? Anna: No, no, I'm not. My goal is to bring him back to testify. Sonny: Well, how does that translate to prison? Anna: When I found Carlos on the harbor back in spring... I knew he'd killed Duke. He even admitted it. My intention then was to bring him in for prosecution. But then he threw it in my face that I didn't have any evidence and that he would probably walk. There was a very strong possibility that he would. I snapped. Carlos was unarmed. I shot him four times point blank. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: I want you to know how close I feel to you right now. I think you're a wonderful man. Nathan: Thanks, babe. I think you're pretty perfect, too. Maxie: And I really am so sorry for what you went through with your horrid ex- wife. It makes me upset just thinking about it, for your sake, obviously. It's [Chuckles] -- Nathan: It's fine, Max. It's a long time ago. I'm a big boy. Maxie: But I'm sure that there are scars maybe that haven't healed yet, and I want to help you with that. Nathan: How, exactly? Maxie: By giving you a safe place to confide, by listening with no judgment. So go ahead. Talk to me about Claudette. [SCENE_BREAK] Ned: You just had very delicate surgery. You really don't need the stress. Tracy: Trust me, I will not be the one whose blood pressure is going to spike. In fact, this phone call could speed up my recovery. Ned: How? By over-tiring you when you're recuperating from brain surgery? Tracy: Ned, I'm not just doing this for myself. It's for the family, and it needs to be done now. Ned: Far be it for me to deny you anything. Tracy: Okay, you don't need to give me the phone. Just text, um, a Hayden Barnes. Ned: Hayden Barnes. And what would you like me to tell this Hayden Barnes? Tracy: Text her "R," as in the letter "R." Uh, "I am awake in ICU eagerly awaiting your visit." Ned: But if her name is Hayden, why am I addressing her with an "R"? Tracy: She'll understand. [SCENE_BREAK] Laura: Nikolas is saying goodbye to some things? Might one of them be you, Hayden? Well, I guess I've interrupted something. I can leave the two of you alone. Hayden: No, no, I should be the one to go. I'll let Nikolas tell you as much or as little as he wants. Nikolas: Hmm, how considerate of my...wife. [Cell phone dings] Hayden: Oh, I, uh, am sorry. I have to run an errand. But don't forget -- the notary will be here soon. Laura: The notary? What documents are you having notarized? Hayden: Have them signed and ready for me when I come back. Lovely as always, Laura. Laura: What's going on here? What happened to your face? Nikolas: Oh, no, it's just a, uh, slight misunderstanding with Jason Morgan. Laura: Jason? Did he attack you again? Nikolas: Well, Sam, uh, figured out that I tried to have Hayden killed in the garage, and she threatened to call the police. I grabbed her to stop her, and we started struggling, and then Jason walked in. So there you go. Laura: Sam knows that you tried to have Hayden killed? Nikolas: Yeah. But Sam is the least of it. Laura: What? Nikolas: I'm about to lose everything, Mom. Laura: What do you mean, "everything"? Nikolas: My wife, my business, my whole world. It's over. [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Come on, baby. This...a little bit...over. Oh, boy. I can do this. [Exhales] I have to do this. [Unlatch cuff] Oh, finally. Oh, boy. Oh, Anna. I hope, for both of our sakes, I'm not too late. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: You shot Carlos four times? Anna: Yeah. I believed I killed him. Sonny: And he survived? Anna: Yeah. It was a set-up, for God's sake. He was wearing, like, a bulletproof vest and blood capsules or whatever. Sonny: But it doesn't sound like Carlos would do something that elaborate. Anna: Yeah, I believe that he was working with Kyle Sloane, and it was to get leverage against me. But it didn't matter. They didn't have to do that. I fully intended to murder him. Sonny: For good reason. Anna: You see, coming from you, that's not reassuring. Sonny: What are you talking about? He goaded you into shooting him. Why would you feel guilty? Anna: Because I played right into their hands. Don't you see that? I-I acted like a vigilante, not a cop. I abandoned all my principles, my training, and I just cast myself as judge, jury, and executioner. I didn't trust in the judicial system. I broke the law. Sonny: The law didn't give you justice. You -- you took it yourself. I would have done the same thing. Anna: Right, well, that's where we're different because, look, I know the system doesn't always work. I get that, but without a system, where does it all end? What happens 20 years down the line when Sabrina and Carlos' kid is all fully grown? What, it comes after me to shoot me? No! I don't believe in a lawless society. That is why we bring Carlos back to the States, and he stands trial. Hopefully he will turn on Julian, and then -- then you and I will have the ultimate justice. If I have to serve time in prison, that's just part of the equation. Sonny: I get that. There's no proof of your crime. There was no witnesses. So it's your word against Carlos. You got nothing to worry about. Anna: I have no intention of denying it. Sonny: But that's insane. Anna: No. It's not. It's my decision to make. Sonny: It's not your decision. Do -- do -- [Sighs] You know what the problem is with your story? That you didn't just shoot Carlos in the head... Anna: Right. Sonny: ...And kill him. Anna: Therein lies the very reason that I couldn't trust you to come after Carlos on your own. That's it right there. Sonny: All right, well, we don't have to agree to work together. We're about to land. So once we get our hand on Carlos... Anna: ...We'll get justice for Duke. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: I just don't understand how any woman could have cheated on someone as wonderful as you. Nathan: Well, clearly, she didn't think of me the same way. Maxie: Yeah, but you married her so she could get her green card and stay in the country, right? Nathan: Yeah. Maxie: So you didn't ask for anything in exchange. You were being kind and generous and chivalrous. How could she be so ungrateful? I mean, all the French-Canadians I've met have been super-cool. Hey, by the way, did you say she lived in Montréal or Quebec City? Nathan: I didn't. Why does it matter? Maxie: Oh, it doesn't. Though I do wonder if she kept your last name, because when we're married, it would be really awkward if there were two -- Nathan: Maxie, I know what you're doing, and I need you to stop it now. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Nikolas is a thief. He stole ELQ away from the Quartermaines. He took me away from you. And now he's getting violent. Look at your wrists. He grabbed you. He threatened you. He left bruises. Sam: I-I know, but I was starting to call the cops, and he panicked. I don't think he would have done anything to hurt me. Jason: Don't -- don't downplay what he did. He's gonna pay for all of this. Trust me. Sam: Pay for it how? He's got a son, a little boy who needs him, and no matter how angry I am or how mad I am at him, I don't think Spencer should have to suffer. Jason: I hear you. As much as I want to kill this son of a bitch, I'm not going to. Okay? Sam: Okay. Jason: I've got too much to lose now. But I got to think of another way. I need something legal, something that... [Chuckles] Sam: Wait, what? Uh... what are you thinking? Jason: I'll tell you in a minute, but trust me, it's good. [SCENE_BREAK] Laura: So Hayden has been working against you all this time trying to get ELQ away from you? Nikolas: I don't think it was her plan when she moved to Port Charles, but she most certainly improvised once she met me. Laura: Nikolas, I'm so sorry. Nikolas: Yeah. Obviously, uh, the life I've known is about to change. Laura: Why? Have you made up your mind to sign those documents? Nikolas: Well, I don't -- I -- Mother, I don't feel like I-I have a choice. I mean, sure, part of me wants to go to prison just to -- just to spite her, but I-I-I can't -- you know, I can't do that. Laura: No, you can't do that. You have to be here for your son. Nikolas: Yeah. That's only part of it. Laura: What else? Nikolas: Never mind. Nothing. Spencer's -- he's reason enough. Laura: Elizabeth and I know what you did. So I suppose that could make us accessories after the fact. Nikolas: Stop, stop, okay? I don't want you to worry about any of this, okay? Laura: I'm right. Hayden threatened to involve me and Elizabeth, didn't she? Nikolas: Yes. If I don't sign these papers, if I don't give her all of my shares of ELQ and most of my money, she'll try and bring you down, as well. [SCENE_BREAK] Hayden: Hayden Barnes. I'm a friend of your mother's. I was relieved to hear that, uh, her operation went well, and she's recovering. Ned: I remember you from the Nurses' Ball. You were the woman who wasn't my cousin Jason's wife. Correct? Hayden: Yeah. Tracy: Okay, if the two of you are done, uh, revisiting Hayden's transgressions, would you mind leaving us alone for a minute so we can talk privately? Ned: Okay. I'll be right outside the door. Tracy: Thank you. Hayden: Why didn't you tell me your older son was so handsome? Tracy: Because I don't want you anywhere near him, or my younger son, for that matter. Hayden: [Chuckles] Tracy: And I did not invite you down here for a casual chat. Hayden: Well, that's too bad because as it happens, I really do like you, and I'm thrilled you're doing better. That day in the restaurant when you had your seizure, you really scared me... and Dillon. Tracy: Thank you. Actually, that kind of a scare puts everything into perspective. Hayden: Well, before we talk business, here. Tracy: Thank you. Hayden: It's a maneki-neko. Tracy: I'm not really a cat person. Hayden: [Laughing] It's much more than a cat. It's a symbol of upcoming luck and great fortune coming one's way. Tracy: Wow, now you're talking my language. I take it there's been some movement on the ELQ front? Hayden: Significant movement. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Here you go. Mateo: Scan these, please. Anna: Thank you very much for coming onboard. I appreciate the extra effort. Sonny: Yeah, it's gonna help us get to our destination, amigo. Mateo: Here you go, Mr. Corinthos. I wish you a pleasant stay in our country. Sonny: Yeah, that's the plan. Mateo: I'm sorry, Ms. Devane. I'm afraid I have bad news for you. Anna: Which is? Mateo: You can't get off this plane. There's a warrant out for your arrest. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Did I miss something? What is it that you want me to stop? Nathan: Maxie. I'm a cop. I know when somebody's trying to pump me for information. You're not even being subtle. Maxie: I'm asking you these questions so that I can fill in the blanks, so I can process this and put it to rest. I mean, after we have this conversation, we never have to have another conversation about a selfish, terrible woman who, in your own words, was the most horrible mistake you ever made. Nathan: Okay, so are you really concerned that a bad decision that I made years ago has any bearing on the two of us now? Maxie: No. Of -- of course not. How could you even think that? Nathan: Okay. So drop it. Maxie: [Sighs] Nathan: Max, I'm sorry. Maxie: No. No. I'm sorry. Look... if you don't want to talk about it, I won't talk about Claudette again... ever. Nathan: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: That is impossible. No, no, no. There has to be a clerical error. Mateo: No mistake. The warrant for your arrest just came in. You've been red- flagged for all airports and immigration officials in all Ecuador. Anna: What's the charge? Mateo: Assault and unlawful imprisonment in Port Charles, New York, where your flight originated. Anna: Yeah, yeah, there's been a misunderstanding. I can explain. Mateo: For your sake, I hope so. Sonny: Tal vez hay otra manera? [Maybe there's another way?] Mateo: I hope that was not your way of suggesting a bribe. If that's the case, we'll have to detain you, as well. Sonny: No, m-my Spanish is rusty. W-w-what I need is, I need you to help me with directions to get to a neighborhood called La Mariscal. Man: I can show you a map once I escort you off the plane. Sonny: Oh, great. Anna: No, wait. You can't leave me here. Sonny: I'm shocked that you have a warrant for your arrest. Don't you know that crime doesn't pay? [SCENE_BREAK] Laura: We will get through this. And I'll do whatever I can to help you. Nikolas: Thank you. Look, I know I haven't always been the son that... you could be proud of. I haven't always done things that you've liked, but I really want you to know that I love you very much. Laura: You are a wonderful, wonderful son. Nikolas: [Scoffs] Laura: Yes, you are. All those years that I was sick -- you were the one who stepped up and acted as my guardian. Things you've done for your brother and for your sister. [Sighs] My God, I -- I will never stop being grateful for that. I am very glad that you are my firstborn. And I'm sorry that you're in this awful position right now, but I know you're gonna get through this. Nikolas: Thank you for always loving me... no matter what I've done. Laura: Oh, my goodness. I love you so. Nikolas: I love you, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: Finally you've made progress. Tell me everything. Hayden: [Chuckles] "Everything" would take a very long time. Suffice it to say much has been going on since you got so sick. And despite many obstacles, I'm prevailing even as we speak. Tracy: That was a long and convoluted way of telling me absolutely nothing. I want details. Hayden: I had Diane Miller draw up legal documents transferring Nikolas's ELQ holdings to me. He should be signing those documents any minute now. Tracy: He's signing them freely? Hayden: I wouldn't say that. Tracy: Does this have something to do with the dirt you dug up on him? Hayden: Well, the actual particulars don't matter. What does is that ELQ will shortly be out of Cassadine hands. Tracy: Oh, this is such wonderful news, Rachel. Hayden: I really would prefer if you called me Hayden. Tracy: I'm sorry. Hayden. So I will get you the payment we agreed upon, and you can sign the stock over to me and ELQ will finally be back in Quartermaine hands where it belongs. Hayden: Yeah. I could do that. A better person probably would, but I'm not. Tracy: What? Hayden: I'm sorry to disappoint you, Tracy, especially in your current condition, but I'm keeping ELQ for myself. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Here's a recent picture... of Rivera. Man: Yes, it's similar to the one you e-mailed me. I've been looking for him, asking around. I haven't seen him, and no one else has, either. Anna: You know this is all a misunderstanding. [Cell phone rings] Anna: You can't put me in jail. Mateo: Es Mateo. The call is for you. Anna: Hello? This is Anna Devane. Paul: Anna Devane. You made a serious error in judgment. [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: Of course, you're gonna sign that stock over to me. We had a deal. Hayden: And that deal didn't include you blackmailing me, but you did. You changed the rules. Tracy: I just uncovered the truth. Hayden: [Chuckles] Tracy: That you are the daughter of a famous swindler, and quite possibly his co-conspirator. I can still tell the world about that. Hayden: Oh, do whatever you want, Tracy. It doesn't matter anymore. Tracy: Gee, I think there's a lot of people that would find it really interesting to know exactly where Rachel Berlin is. Hayden: Well, you know what? You're too late. My real identity has already come out. I won't deny that it's distressing. But I can handle it a lot better knowing that ELQ is mine. Tracy: I don't think I'm gonna take your word for that. Ned! Sweetheart! Ned. [Door opens] Ned: You called, Mother? Hayden: Ned, did you know that my, uh, real name is Rachel Berlin? Ned: You are Raymond Berlin's daughter. Hayden: Yeah. So, as you can see, Tracy, I no longer have anything to hide. [SCENE_BREAK] Laura: I wish there was something I could do to help you. Nikolas: Uh... well, you know, actually, there is. Laura: Um... name it. Anything. Nikolas: Well, the -- the notary will be here any minute. I'd prefer it if you not be here to see me sign those papers. That'd be great. Laura: Oh, Nikolas. Are you sure you want to do that all alone? Nikolas: Yes. Yes. I mean, signing them is defeat enough. I mean, I think it would be too much to...have you watch me. Look, I-I know that... finding out what that -- that key my grandmother gave you actually means. Personally, I don't understand why, but I get why it's important to you. So you go -- you go pursue that. Laura: Are you trying to distract me? Nikolas: No. No, I just -- I don't want you to spend any extra time worrying about me, because I'll be fine. Laura: I know you'll be fine. I love you, Nikolas. Nikolas: I love you, too. Bye. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: I'll let you know when I'm ready to move. Okay, thanks. Sam: Are you sure you want to do this? Jason: You want this thing over with Nikolas, right? Sam: Yes, I sure do. Jason: This is the way to make it happen. Let's go. Sam: Okay. [Keys jingle] [SCENE_BREAK] Man: Gracias. Nothing, really. A minor lead about another neighborhood, but it doesn't seem credible. Sonny: All right, go ahead, check it out. I think this neighborhood's our best bet. As far as surveillance, it placed Rivera here. He's had a baby. I don't think he's gonna want to go anywhere else. Call me if you hear anything. [Church bell tolls] [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: I love lying in your arms. I wish I could stay here forever. Nathan: Me too. But I got to shower and go to work. Look, not to compare us to Dante and Lulu, but if anything good can come out of what's happened to them, it should be that we should appreciate how lucky we are. We are in a great place. We don't need to create problems where they don't exist. I'm glad you see that now. Maxie: Me too. [SCENE_BREAK] Ned: I'm surprised you'd want to broadcast your connection to the biggest swindler on Wall Street. [Cell phone rings] Hayden: Would you care to explain, Tracy, or should I? Ned: Actually, as eager as I am to hear your explanation, I have to deal with this emergency. I'll be right back. Hayden: I called your bluff. Tracy: It would appear so. Hayden: I really do hope you get better. Tracy: I don't want your well-wishes. Not that I would believe them for a minute. Hayden: Believe what you want. But don't worry about the shares. I'll take good care of them. Tracy: And I am going to tell all of your enemies exactly where you are. Trust me. You're not gonna get away with this. Hayden: You're so wrong, Tracy. I don't need to get away with anything, because I already have. [SCENE_BREAK] [Knock on door] Nikolas: What do you want? Sam: I think we should discuss this in the living room. Nikolas: Back to kill me after all, Jason? Jason: Nah, if I was, you wouldn't see it coming. Nikolas: Listen, guys, I don't have a lot of patience for this today, so -- Sam: Why? Did you have a bad night? I can't say I'm surprised after being exposed as an attempted murderer. Nikolas: [Laughs] Unlike Jason here, who is an actual murderer. Sam: And finding out that your wife, Hayden-Rachel-whatever she is, is up to no good. I mean, I would be in a lousy mood, too. Nikolas: What do you want, Sam? Sam: Not me. Jason. Jason: I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse. [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: How did you find me? Paul: I have my ways. I'm surprised by now you haven't figured that out. Anna: I'm never surprised at the levels to which you will stoop. Paul: You can act all high and mighty, Anna, but we both know you can play lowdown and dirty when you need to. Anna: Clearly not dirty enough. Paul: All right, you know, I-I'll admit I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get your warrant and have it posted online in time with the appropriate authorities in Ecuador, but fortunately I have some dear friends around the world, and I was able to find the exact judge and have him expedite this whole thing. Anna: What exactly do you think you've stopped here, Paul? You know I didn't travel alone. You were in such a great rush to stop me that you forgot to do anything about stopping Sonny. Paul? Paul: So...Sonny is in Quito as we speak? Anna: You could have easily trumped up charges and added him to the warrant. But you didn't. That's your plan, isn't it? Of course. You deliberately held me back and let Sonny go, because you're hoping that he will kill Carlos. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: [Speaking Spanish] Carlos: Hola, Sonny. Time to die. [NEXT_ON] Carly (to Franco): You're the last thing I need. Nikolas (to Jason & Sam): I won't forget this, and I will never forgive you. Hayden (to Curtis): I just gave Nikolas an ultimatum. [Lulu runs into Valerie in the park.] Jordan (to Paul): What the hell is going on? Anna (to Mateo): There are people who are going to be hurt. Carlos (to Sonny): Just as you're saying "Amen," I put my bullet through your head.
