Shawn agrees to work with Jason and Sam. Sonny and Brenda get married.
P.A.: Final boarding for Flight 187 to Barcelona. Any passengers still holding tickets need to proceed to Gate 10. The doors are now closing. Lucky: What--what are you doing here? You're gonna miss your flight. Siobhan: It's better than missing you. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Sam must have told you we know Theo Hoffman is the Balkan and he hired you to grab Brenda. Shawn: Sam may have mentioned that. Jason: Let her go! Shawn: I'm banking on a few odds in my favor. Jason: Yeah, well, things turn on a dime, so you better ask yourself, is the Balkan paying you enough to die for him? Shawn: There's not always a lot of choices for vets. I take work where I can find it. Jason: You hurt her, and I will kill you. And if I don't, the Balkan's gonna finish the job because you didn't. [SCENE_BREAK] Theo: Thank you. Suzanne: You're welcome. Mmm. Jules let me in. He's gone to get supplies. Socks. I know how quickly you go through them. I suspect you have little teeth in your feet. Theo: Thank you, my dear. Always so thoughtful. Suzanne: I try. Theo: Any trouble finding my little fortress of solitude? Suzanne: No, not at all. I just crawled in the cave and walked in the first door I saw. Theo: It's reminiscent of Thessaly. Suzanne: A tomb? Theo: A storm cellar. I expect it to be quite dangerous up above once our son's murderer has been abducted. Why the frown? Suzanne: I am worried. Theo: About? Suzanne: You. Your identity as the Balkan has been exposed. Theo: These things happen. Suzanne: Doesn't it bother you? Theo: One mustn't fret about things one cannot change. We must, as they say, roll with the punches. Suzanne: And if the plan to kidnap Brenda fails? Theo: Mmm. Delicious. I have no doubt that Sonny Corinthos is about to lose his bride on their wedding day. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Why did you object? You all right? Come on. Come on. Brenda: No, I'm not all right. Minister: I'm sorry, did the bride just object to her own wedding? Sonny: Why? What's going on? Brenda: Because if I don't, Carly will. [SCENE_BREAK] Terrell: It's definitely a ventricular defect. Monica: Yes, well, let's see if we can get medical records of both of the parents. Terrell: I'm working on it. Monica: You do that. Let me know when we can move forward. Terrell: All right. Elizabeth: Hey. Was that about Edmond, the little boy who's having a hard time breathing and his mom is Marie? Terrell: That's the one. This kid needs surgery and his mother's procrastinating about allowing access to his father's medical records, not to mention getting the guy in here for blood work. I don't get it. Elizabeth: The last time Edmond was admitted, his mom was freaking out and I was the one to calm her down, and she shared with me that she's not sure her husband is Edmond's father. Terrell: Oh. Elizabeth: Yeah. So she was kind of hoping that her son would just get better before she had to blow everyone's world apart. Terrell: Well, not to sound cold or anything, but the day of reckoning is upon her. Elizabeth: Oh. Well, I feel for her. Not that I've been in that situation exactly, but I've come close enough. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: What's wrong with this picture? Siobhan: Nothing that I can see. Lucky: Nothing? You're supposed to be on a plane to Barcelona with your sister, flying off to somewhere safe. Siobhan: Well, and I--I considered it. But at the last minute when I declined to board, I was hoping that I might get a better offer. [SCENE_BREAK] Suzanne: Brenda was surrounded by Sonny's security detail like a queen at a coronation. If I'm not back there to help Shawn, I--he may not be able to get her out. Theo: Is that your concern? Or are you afraid that he might? Suzanne: What's that supposed to mean? Theo: It occurs to me that my leopard may be changing her spots. Suzanne: How dare you? Aleksander was my son, too. Theo: You spent a lot of time with Brenda. Culling information. Helping me piece together what happened after Aleksander disappeared. Women have these mysterious bonding rituals. Perhaps you've gotten too close to Brenda and are now feeling some sympathy for the devil? Suzanne: If you are sensing any hesitation in me, it's simply because I worry what this single-minded focus is costing you. Nothing we do will bring Aleksander back. And revenge is sweet, yes, but it's fleeting. And after we've had it, we're right back in our lives again, where you operate as the Balkan, and that identity has been exposed. Your entire organization is vulnerable. Theo: Do you really think I care? Suzanne: I think you should. Theo: On the day Aleksander disappeared, I accepted it as a manifestation of his anger toward me. On the day I learned he would never be coming back, all else became secondary. Except you. Brenda Barrett and her arrogant, overconfident Sonny Corinthos will soon learn first-hand about grief and regret. They will know what we suffered when we lost Aleksander. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: There's a long line of men who lost their lives over the Balkan's obsession over Brenda. Shawn: I see. So if you don't kill me where I stand, Theo will take me out for botching the job. Jason: Right now you have a choice. Sam, you okay? Sam: I'm fine. Jason: Where's Theo? Shawn: I don't know. Sam: He's gotta have a safe house somewhere. Shawn: I'm not privy to that type of information. Mr. Hoffman doesn't trust me like that. He doesn't trust anyone. He's a warlord, a strategist. Jason: It sounds like you really admire the guy. Shawn: I respect intelligence. Mr. Hoffman's second to none. And just so we're clear, I'm no dummy. So if you think we're going for a ride and your intention is to shoot me, you better do it right here. Jason: Maybe nobody has to die. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: What... Michael: Mom. What are you doing? Sonny: Don't make a fool out of yourself, Carly. Carly: Brenda's been lying to you for months and I have the proof. Brenda: You don't need to pull out the document. I've got this, Carly. Carly: I can't wait to hear what you have to say. Sonny: You want me to have you thrown out of here? Carly: For what, telling you the truth? Sonny: What truth? What truth?! Brenda: Let me talk to you for a second, please. Let me just say it. Sonny: What? Just tell me. Just tell me. Brenda: Carly has a document that proves that Dante and I had an affair 4 years ago and got me pregnant. Sonny: That's ridiculous. Come on. Right? That's not true, right? Is she telling the truth, Dante? Dante! Dante! Now, okay. Now it's starting to make sense. Every time we were together, you guys would be very uncomfortable. You would always say to me that we were doomed from the start. You slept with him?! With Dante?! [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Hi. Have you spoken to Dr. Jackson in the past 15 minutes? Monica: I have, but I've been in conference and I just got around to getting my messages. Elizabeth: Well, let me update you. Edmond's father finally came in to give blood to be tested, and the lab is putting a rush on it. Monica: Oh, that's good news. And look at you. You're getting so big. Elizabeth: Say hi. Monica: Oh, my gosh, I guess Laura did pass on some heavy-duty DNA through Nikolas. Elizabeth: Why do you say that? Monica: Well, I've seen pictures, and he looks just like Lucky at this age. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Getting on that plane to Barcelona might be the best offer you're gonna get. Siobhan: How do you figure? Lucky: Do you really want to compare Spain to Upstate New York? I mean, where do we even start? The culture? Climate? Life expectancy? Look, the cash, the false I.D.s that I gave you and Megan, they would have set you up pretty well and you wouldn't have to be looking over your shoulder for the Balkan. You wouldn't have to be dealing with...my complications. Siobhan: I'm not afraid of you. Lucky: No? Siobhan: I'm a brave lass. I dealt with the likes of the real Ronan O'Reilly before you pranced into town masquerading as the man. My ex-boyfriend had never been considered a nice guy. I even remember looking death in the eye a few times in your pleasant company, and I'm still here. Lucky: Okay, you're fearless. I'll give you that. But have you been brave enough to look inside your own heart and deal with what's happening there? [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Sam, why did you leave Archer Pavilion? Sam: I saw Shawn in the main room. All of a sudden he took off. So I followed him, and he was up here on the phone with the Balkan. Jason: What were you supposed to do with Brenda? Shawn: Chloroform her in the bride's room, notify Mr. Hoffman, take her to a boat at the docks, wait for further instructions. Jason: And that's it? Shawn: I didn't hire on to kill her if that's what you're asking. Sam: Well, then what went wrong? Shawn: I couldn't get to her. Traffic in and out of that room was nonstop. Brenda's a popular lady. Jason: Well, there was plenty of time when they were holding the ceremony for me. Why didn't you grab Brenda then? Shawn: I was about to. Carly Jacks showed up. Apparently her and Brenda had a lot to-- Jason: Still, if that was your chance-- Shawn: You're not hearing me. I was there for Brenda. I didn't sign on to take out any witnesses. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: If Carly hadn't found out about you, Dante, and the baby, would you have said anything to me? Brenda: No. There was no reason to. Sonny: You believe that? Brenda: Yes. Because none of it's true. Carly: I knew you'd pull this. That's why I came with proof. Right here. Dante: Carly's telling the truth. At least as she understands it to be. I'm guessing this is the, uh, custody agreement? Carly: Yep. Sonny: Custody agreement? What-- Dante: It's legit, Sonny. I claimed myself as the father of Brenda's child. And then I gave up all the rights. Only the document was a lie. Brenda's child wasn't mine. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: What do you think, Aiden? You think we should dig up some of Lucky's old baby pictures, see if Monica's right? Epiphany: [Sighs] Oh, Nurse Webber. I'm glad to see that you're still here. I'm collecting signatures to back up Dr. Jackson's order for that little boy's ventricular defect repair. I want to make sure that I have all the paperwork ready just in case the insurance company questions the procedure. Elizabeth: Sure. Gladly. And the last thing that mother needs is a fight with the insurance company. Epiphany: Uh-huh. Thank you. Now, what are you still doing here? That little boy should be at home in bed. Elizabeth: Do you think he looks like Lucky? Epiphany: Are you sure you want to go down this road again? Elizabeth: Well, Monica says he does, and I know she's seen Lucky's baby pictures. Epiphany: Okay, look, Aiden's father is Nikolas Cassadine. All the tests back that up. Now, as soon as you make your peace with that, better off for you and your child. [SCENE_BREAK] Siobhan: You know what I see when I look in the mirror? Siobhan McKenna. I mean, I don't think about it any deeper than that. Lucky: 'Cause you're afraid to? Siobhan: I'm not a self-examiner by nature. Lucky: Yeah, but even so, why do you think you want to go back to Port Charles? Siobhan: Responsibilities. I mean, I feel--I feel guilty leaving Coleman in the lurch without his best waitress. Lucky: Coleman. Siobhan: And I still owe a week's worth of rent on my room at Kelly's. And Upstate New York, it has its selling points. I mean, who needs beaches and people with funny accents when I could take you down in a snowball fight? Lucky: I hate to break it to you, but you kind of have a funny accent. Siobhan: It's rude to point out. Lucky: Look, I haven't changed since we've been in Ireland. I still have a tendency to trust and over-invest. Siobhan: I, uh, thought about that, too. You might turn out to be a bad bet. But it's no worse that some guitar-playing Romeo in some Spanish cafe. I mean, at least with you... I know what I'm getting. Lucky: Maybe. P.A.: Passengers for flight 2247 to New York JFK, please proceed to gate number 12. Siobhan: We could continue this debate on the plane, you know. Lucky: [Sighs] Yeah. Well, the flight's about to leave, so we should get moving. Siobhan: Well, it's a good thing I already bought my ticket. Lucky: This was like a formality, wasn't it? Look at you. Jeez. Okay, come on. Hi. Official: Enjoy your flight. Lucky: Thanks. Siobhan: Is something wrong? Official: You Siobhan McKenna? Siobhan: That's the idea. Official: Um, I'm afraid you can't return to the United States without a visa. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: How do you know Carly? Shawn: The first time I met her I was with your little sister, Molly. She was having a bad day, I tried to help her out. Sam: Yeah. Molly says he did. Shawn: Anyway, Carly happened by. I saw her later at the Metro Court. I've run into her a couple of times since. Carly's good people. Sam: If you're trying to score points with your Port Charles connections, you can probably forget about that. Shawn: The man asked how I know Carly. Just answering his question. Jason: Yeah, but you're a smart guy. I know you do your homework before you land somewhere, and Carly is a good person to have on your side in this town. Shawn: I can't prove I didn't research her. All I can do is tell you I didn't. Whether you believe it or not--out of my control. Jason: What if Theo ordered you to grab Carly or Molly? Shawn: I don't mess with kids. As far as Carly, I didn't know her from Adam when I hit town. If her name had been on the contract instead of Brenda's, yeah, I would have grabbed her. Diane: I am already light-years late for this wedding, so this-- guns? In my law firm? Are you insane?! How many times have I told you, I cannot be exposed to your alleged criminal activities. What is Mr. Butler doing being detained? He is supposed to be at the wedding working security for Theo Hoffman. Jason: Theo Hoffman is the Balkan. You need to help me find him, now. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Brenda and I became friends in 2007 when I was assigned to guard her. She was being stalked by an ex-boyfriend. That's why the cops were brought in. The other problem Brenda had is she found out she was pregnant and she was terrified. She didn't want this guy or his family to have anything to do with the child she was carrying inside her. So I claimed I was the father and I signed a legal document giving up that claim. And I did it to protect Brenda and her unborn child. Carly: My, how convenient. Dante: You know--Carly, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there was no affair. There was no baby between the two of us. Just a secret between two people that has absolutely nothing to do with you. Carly: Sonny, you buying this? Sonny: Carly, shut up, sit down, or leave. 'Cause I can't deal with you right now. Brenda: I lied to you. Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Brenda: I mean, it was a lie of omission, but it doesn't matter, it was still a lie. I hid this huge part of my life from you. And...it's amazing, because I actually complicated your already difficult relationship with your son. And I was gonna tell you and I didn't. Because I'm selfish. And I'm not good enough for you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry I disappointed you. I do love you. I never stopped. And I never will. Sonny: Brenda. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: The whole time I was pregnant, I just had this feeling that Aiden was Lucky's baby. Epiphany: But that's what you wanted. You had a baby to fix everything between you and Lucky. Elizabeth: I know, I know, but I also believe in a mother's instinct. And honestly I have never felt like Nikolas was his father. Epiphany: [Sighs] Elizabeth, look, there were two paternity tests sent to different labs. There is no question. Elizabeth: Right, but Helena was lurking around. I mean, what if? What if she somehow changed the tests? Epiphany: Okay, why would Helena want to claim a Spencer as a Cassadine? Elizabeth: I don't know. You're right. It doesn't make any sense. Epiphany: Elizabeth, look, you have far too much on your plate. Now my advice would be that you focus on your work and you be happy that you have three healthy little boys. There is far too much pain and disappointment in this world. You do not need to be stirring up any more. Elizabeth: It does make sense that he would kind of look like Lucky because of Laura. Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see. [SCENE_BREAK] Siobhan: I'm a citizen of the world. I mean, I can be a tourist anywhere I please, can't I? Official: I'm afraid not. Your last day in the United States went past expiration date. So you'll have to apply for a visitor's visa. Siobhan: Well, how long is it going to take? Official: Several weeks. Siobhan: That's not going to work, is it? I mean, the plane's about to board. Lucky: Excuse me, Detective Spencer, Port Charles police department. Miss McKenna is a material witness in a murder case and it's been very difficult to get her this far. And I can't let her go on a technicality. Official: But rules are rules. Lucky: I understand that, but Interpol's involved, okay, and that bumps it to international. And I can give you the contact info of the agent in charge. Just call Agent Bates; he can tell you how important this witness is and how slippery she's been. Siobhan: And likely to remain so. I mean, I never wanted to testify in the first place and now it looks like I won't have to. Lucky: You can't let her walk away. Siobhan: It's nice knowing you, Detective. Official: Wait. This is highly irregular, but given the circumstances, I'd allow passage on the flight. Lucky: Thank you. And I'll make sure Miss McKenna gets her paperwork in order as soon as we're back in the states. Official: Yeah, work fast. Wrap up your case quickly, Detective. Miss McKenna's stay in the United States is only limited to one month and one month only. [SCENE_BREAK] Diane: I am beyond furious! Not just with Theo, but with myself. How could I have been so gullible! Sam: Theo ran one hell of a cover. Don't blame yourself for being so gullible. Jason: None of us saw it. Diane: I am going to eviscerate the New York partners. On their say-so alone, I gave that man complete access to all the information in this office. This is a disaster. This is an unmitigated disaster! Jason: We can't fix that right now. We just have to find him. You sure you have no idea where he is? Shawn: Like I said, I'm not privy. Sam: Were you the only man hired for the job? Shawn: As far as I know. Jason: Okay, Diane, you gotta pull everything you can find to give us insight on Theo Hoffman. Go over cases, the money he spent, who he pays, who he works with more than others. Sam: What about Brenda? Jason: She's safe for now. But we don't have much time, 'cause Theo's going to make a move sooner rather than later. Diane: All right, I'm on it. But you have got to take your captive elsewhere. No offense intended, but I am a big believer in deniability. Jason: Looks like we're going for a ride after all. Let's go. [SCENE_BREAK] Theo: Well, that does not gladden my heart. Well, it's done. Keep me informed. Suzanne: What happened? Theo: Brenda's devil luck is holding up. She eluded capture and made it to the altar. Where somewhat of a scene ensued. Suzanne: Let me guess-- the ex Mrs. Corinthos threw herself on the ground and held her breath until her face turned blue. Theo: As it turns out... Brenda was pregnant in 2007. Dante Falconeri, the man who helped her cover up our son's murder, lent his name as the father. And then fraudulently signed away his rights to protect the child from, I quote, "that whack job and his powerful family." Which could only mean that Brenda was pregnant with Aleksander's baby when she shot him. She killed our son while carrying his only child. Our grandchild. Did you know this? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Running away isn't the answer, Brenda. No one knows that better than I do. Could you turn around and just look at me? 'Cause I'm trying to figure this out. It's not easy. [Brenda sighs] Sonny: Please. Sonny: I ran away from you on our wedding day and I stood across the street in the rain, watching you break your heart. And I said then that that was the biggest mistake of my life. And I really don't want to make that mistake again. Brenda: Sonny, I love you, but I know you'll never forgive me for this. Sonny: I want to. For once in my life, I want to forgive you. But it's not what I do best. I mean, I've got so much anger inside of me. It's like a weapon that I want to hurt people who hurt me. And I know I've hurt you a lot. And where did it get us? You know, years apart. Maybe that was okay, because I needed those years to fall. And realize that... my life was screwed up because I could not trust the one person who loved me; who supported me. Why, why couldn't you trust me? Brenda: Because I think you're going to leave me. Sonny: But you always think someone's going to leave you, but the thing that you don't understand is that you push them away. As soon as someone says they love you, you wear a wire or you keep a secret. Because that's the easy way. [Sighs] Because if they stay, then they'll realize that you're not worthy of love, and you don't deserve it, because that's what your dad did to you. That's what you held onto your whole life. But I'm going to tell you right now, your father lied to you. Because you do deserve it. You know why I know? I know because I love you. And you know what, even when I'm angry or disappointed, even when on our wedding day you keep something from me, it doesn't matter. Because I'll forgive you. And one more thing. I want to marry you. Brenda: Oh, my God. Sonny: I want to marry you more than anything in the whole world. Will you marry me? Brenda: Sonny, are you serious? Sonny: Yes. Of course. Brenda: Yes, I'll marry you. Sonny: We're ready. Minister: Where were we? I-I... Morgan: Vows. Minister: Oh, yes. Michael, do you take Brenda to be your bride? To live together in God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, and in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and bestow upon her your heart's greatest devotion, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live? Sonny: I do. [SCENE_BREAK] Suzanne: I knew Brenda was pregnant. Theo: She told you. Suzanne: In Africa. She was very sick. Delirious with fever. And she kept talking about the baby. Well, after the fever passed, I pressed her. She said she'd recently had a miscarriage. It was a boy. Theo: You knew this and didn't see fit to tell me. Suzanne: I couldn't bare to, Theo. You were so distraught over Aleksander's disappearance. I couldn't add to your pain by telling you our son's unborn child was dead. Theo: I wonder if Aleksander knew she was pregnant. If that's why he was so reckless in his blind pursuit of her. Brenda took everything. My son... my grandson... my only chance at an heir. That evil woman! Blithely modeling clothes and begging for money as she goes. Leaving death and devastation in her wake. And now she's the trophy of some minor crime lord. [Chuckles] Who believes he can flaunt their wedding in my face. Suzanne: Well, Brenda and Sonny are mistaken. Theo: Where are you going? Suzanne: You've been exposed. I'm good to go. No one knows I'm the Balkan's wife or Aleksander's mother. I can finish this. I will get justice for our son. [SCENE_BREAK] Shawn: Nice. Now that I've seen your inner sanctum, what? You burn my eyes out or something? Jason: You talk so much when you get nervous? Shawn: Look, make me a deal and I'm out of here. Jason: Well, what kind of deal are you looking for? Shawn: Let me go. I sever my ties with Theo and disappear. I've already made enough money to lay low for a while. I can peddle my services anywhere. Jason: Well, you're acting like it's all about the money. Shawn: Right. I clearly disagree. Which leaves us with a serious dilemma. Where do we go from here? [SCENE_BREAK] Minister: Brenda, do you take Michael to be your husband? To live together in God's ordinance in the holiest state of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sadness and in joy? To cherish and bestow upon him your heart's greatest devotion, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, as long as you both shall live? Brenda: I do. Minister: What token of love do you offer? Will you please place the rings in my hand? Robin: There you go. Minister: Thank you. May these rings be blessed as a symbol of this union. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go, may Michael and Brenda always return to one another, may they grow in understanding and compassion. May these rings on their fingers symbolize the spirit of love in their hearts. Michael. Sonny: With this ring, I thee wed. Minister: Brenda. Brenda: Let me have your hand, baby. Sonny: Yeah, after a while, you know. [Both chuckle] Brenda: With this ring, I thee wed. [SCENE_BREAK] Theo: I will miss the pleasure of your company, but I agree. Your place is now at the wedding. Be prepared to act quickly. Suzanne: Nothing more you can tell me before I leave? Theo: Not to worry. Our revenge on Brenda is on track. You'll know what to do when the time comes. [Cell phone rings] Theo: Yes, Shawn? Shawn: There was a problem at the pavilion. I couldn't get to Brenda. Theo: I'm aware. Shawn: We need to regroup. Where can we meet? Theo: Well, now that my identity has been exposed, it needs to be in a place of seclusion. Shawn: Pine Barrens? Theo: Well, that encompasses a large area. Shawn: How about one mile past the junction at Route 15 and Ridge Road? Theo: You've done a thorough reconnaissance. I'll be there shortly. Shawn has gone over to the other side. Suzanne: That's not good. Theo: On the contrary. His defection gives us the perfect opportunity for ambush. [SCENE_BREAK] Minister: And as much as Michael and Brenda have consented together before this company of friends and family, having pledged their faith and declared their unity by the giving and receiving of rings, they are joined as one. And so, by the power vested in me by the state of New York and almighty God, I pronounce that you are husband and wife. What God has brought together, let no man put asunder. You may kiss your bride. Sonny: Yeah? All right. [Orchestra playing "Here Comes the Bride"] [Molly shrieks]
