Jerry tells Joe that Ewen facilitated the trade of the serum and antidote in exchange for a person that his contact in Switzerland wanted. He says Ewen faked the woman's death, transported her to Switzerland, and then returned to Port Charles to work with the grieving husband. Jerry takes the briefcase containing the antiserum from under a board in Ewen's farmhouse. Joe asks for a vial. Jerry says he already gave him one. Joe reveals that Tracy Quartermaine drank his water. Jerry reluctantly gives him another dose. Jerry starts coughing. Joe wonders if Jerry has taken the antiserum. Todd, Sonny, Carly, Johnny, and Tracy go to the police station to pay Jerry the money for the serum. Jax informs them that Jerry escaped. He admits that he let Jerry out of his cell and had him at gunpoint but that he apparently had someone working for him on the inside, because someone attacked him and Jerry got away. Sonny and Jax snipe at each other about the past. Johnny breaks it up. Tracy says they are all going to die. Todd observes that she is perfectly healthy. Tracy agrees to go to the hospital so they can determine how she is immune. Patrick goes to the lab that exploded with Robin in it. He relives the event in his mind. He goes through Robin's files to find the one about the antiserum that they used on Nikolas when Jerry poisoned him. Sam breaks into Luke's safe at the Haunted Star and finds the "dead man's hand" cards, but no antidote. She finds a note that says, "You were right. Find the cards, find the cure, but you're a little too late." She passes out and hits her head on the desk on her way down. John takes Sam to the hospital and barges into the room where Elizabeth is treating Jason's gunshot wound. Elizabeth treats the gash on Sam's head. She tells Sam that Ewen Keenan shot Jason. Jason tells John that Keenan is in the ER with a bullet wound to the chest. Steve treats Ewen's gunshot wound, all the while complaining that Ewen doesn't deserve treatment. Ewen tells Steve that he knows he is going to die so Steve shouldn't waste his time trying to save him. Ewen says he wants to see Patrick. Steve goes to get Patrick, but Patrick says he is too busy. Steve takes over the research so Patrick can go. Patrick goes to see Ewen. Ewen struggles to say something about Robin, but he dies before he gets it out. Tracy goes to the lab and tells Steve that her symptoms stopped and she feels fine. Steve goes to get Elizabeth so they can run some tests. Jax tells Carly that Ewen Keenan killed his father and that Jerry blackmailed Ewen into helping him. Sonny and Todd are on their way to look for Jerry when Todd receives a call from Jerry saying it is time to finalize negotiations. Todd puts Jerry on speaker. Jerry tells them where to meet him. Jax suggests that Jerry doesn't have the antiserum and the whole thing is a trap. Jerry puts a folder into the briefcase with the antiserum. He calls his associate in Switzerland and warns him that he will kill him if he defaults on his end of the bargain.
[Patrick remembers] [Alarm blares] Robin: Listen to me. Listen to me. You have to do this for me. I-I'm begging you. Patrick: No. No. No! There's got to be another way! You've got to go -- [Coughs] Patrick: Robin. Evacuate. Patrick: I love you. Security doors lock in 20 seconds. Robin: [Voice breaking] I love you so much. I love you always, okay? I love you. Evacuate. Patrick: Wait. Hold on, okay? I'm gonna go get help. Robin: Go. Go! Patrick: Help! Robin: [Coughs] [Alarm beeping] Patrick: Robin! [Explosion] Patrick: Maxie? Maxie: This must be difficult, coming back here. Patrick: I don't have a choice. Todd: Hey! Policemen and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce the rest of the band! We are Port Charles and the one-percenters, and we're here to see jerry Jacks. Jax: Jerry's gone. Sonny: What the hell does that mean? Jax: What do you think it means? He escaped. Todd: We have the money. We -- we're ready to make the exchange. Johnny: The guy could be anywhere by now. Tracy: With the antidote. McBain: Unbelievable. Sam: Huh? McBain: I'm impressed. Sam: Here they are. McBain: Let's have a look. Sam: Nothing? McBain: Just cards. Sam: Well, there's something else in there. McBain: Is it the counteragent? Sam: [Sighs] I don't know. Jerry: You know, that McBain is quite intelligent. Once my brother fills in with the significance of the ransom, they'll know exactly where the antiserum is. Joe Jr.: Yeah, well, what is the significance? Jerry: Well, the sum I'm asking is a numeric acronym that represents the dead man's hand. Joe Jr.: Never heard of it. Jerry: Well, you might not, but I'm sure McBain has, and once he realizes, he'll know the antiserum and the cards are in a safe. Joe Jr.: There's a safe, here? Jerry: No. Joe Jr.: [Sighs] Then, jerry, what the hell are we doing here?! Jerry: [Laughs] Come on, calm down. Does no one enjoy the journey anymore? I thought it was appropriate to come back full circle -- you know, right where it started -- the part involving Ewen Keenan, that is. Steve: This is a mess. He's going into hemorrhagic shock. Steve: Where's our blood. I'll go check with the blood bank again. Ewen: [Breathing heavily] Steve: Credit to Jason Morgan -- he knew right where to shoot you. I'm not sure any doctor would save you. Not sure any doctor should try. Elizabeth: All right. You're gonna need an antibiotic. Jason: Now the one we should be worrying about is you. Elizabeth: Why? I didn't just get shot. Jason: You okay? Elizabeth: Yeah. Um -- McBain: That's a strange-looking antidote. What's it say? Carly: Jax, you're hurt. What the hell happened to you? Are you okay? Todd: It's really sweet, the way she still cares about the guy. Carly, we're in the middle of a crisis here. Tracy: We have to find jerry Jacks and tell him we have the money. Todd: Well, you might want to keep the money part quiet, all right? McBain, he's a real stickler for rules and regulations. Although if McBain is doing his job, jerry would never have escaped. Johnny: Yeah, how exactly did jerry manage to get out of that cell anyway? Jax: I let him out. Sonny: Son of a b -- you know what? Carly: Jax, why? Jax: I wanted him to take me to where he stashed the cure. Carly: How? There was a guard on jerry. Jax: I disarmed him, and I locked him up in the cell. Todd: I thought you said he was a smart guy. Jax: Hey, he was under control. I had him at gunpoint. Sonny: Until you didn't. Jax: Someone was in here, working with jerry. Carly: Who? Jax: I don't know. I didn't see his face. Sonny: He always screws -- you always screw it up, Jax! Why couldn't you have stayed gone? Jax: What, and rob you of the chance to try to kill me again? McBain: Let's see. "You were right -- find the cards, find the cure. Unfortunately, you're just a little too late." All right. So he moved the stuff. Sam: Okay, what do we do now? McBain: What do we do now? No more games, all right? I'm going back to the station, going down to his cell. He's gonna tell me where the cure is. Sam: Okay. [Body thuds] McBain: Hey, Sam! Sam! Hey. Sam. Sam. Elizabeth: I'm sorry. Jason: No, don't be sorry. Elizabeth: I just can't believe I trusted him, you know? [Sniffles] Jason: Hey, you had no idea what Dr. Keenan was up to. Elizabeth: I know, but you did. You came to my house and warned me, and I didn't listen. I was too busy defending him. I just don't know what's wrong with me. Jason: Nothing is wrong with you. Elizabeth: I could have prevented this whole thing from happening. Jason: How? Elizabeth: Other than his patients, nobody's spent more time with Dr. Keenan than I did. And if I had just -- if I'd paid attention, if I had read the signs -- Jason: This isn't your fault, Elizabeth. Elizabeth. Dr. Keenan's connection with jerry went way back -- long before you were in the picture. This was gonna happen with or without you. Elizabeth: You know, what's ironic? Is that everyone kept telling me how wonderful Ewen was -- and you were this killer. Turned out, it was the other way around. Steve: I took matters into my own hands once before. Played God with a patient's life. I'm not gonna bear that cross again -- no matter how much you deserve it. I'm gonna use all my skill to save your life, for my sister. Because that's what she would want. She's generous that way. Ewen: [Coughs] Joe Jr.: Who's Ewen Keenan again? Jerry: I'm sorry. I should clarify -- Dr. Ewen Keenan. This is his cabin. Do you recall when I told you I had an associate? Joe Jr.: Yeah, all right. He's that guy who -- brought your niece to that island. Jerry: That's the very one. Joe Jr.: Well, how'd you get a respectable doctor to inoculate those people? Jerry: Well, first, he's not in the least respectable. And, secondly, I got him to do a lot more than that. Joe Jr.: Like what? Jerry: Well, Dr. Keenan was instrumental in not only acquiring the pathogen to be released in the water but also the antiserum to undo the damage. Joe Jr.: What, is he a chemist or something? Jerry: Mm. No, no, no. Dr. Ewen didn't create anything. Let's say he facilitated the trade. Joe Jr.: What trade? Jerry: Well, there was this person in Switzerland that had what I needed, and that said person -- wanted someone in return. Joe Jr.: Someone. Jerry: Yes. Dr. Ewen faked -- mm -- her death, transported her, and practically delivered her gift-wrapped. But that's not the best part of it. When it was all over, he went home and started working side-by-side by the poor grieving doctor -- Joe Jr.: Who still thinks that his wife's dead. Jerry: Yes, as well as that little twit who holds herself responsible. Maxie: Glad I found you. Patrick: Is Emma okay? Maxie: Yes! I'm sorry. I should have led with that. Patrick: But her -- her fever hasn't gone up? Maxie: Not that I can tell. They're trying to keep things fun down in daycare. The kids are drawing pictures of snow cones and popsicles -- anything to keep cool. Patrick: That sounds fun. Well, thank you for staying with her. Maxie: Of course. It's giving me something to do. Doesn't seem to be a problem you're having here. Patrick: No, it's, uh, been pretty crazy, to say the least. Maxie: Haven't been here in a long time, not since, um -- Patrick: It's all cleaned up. It's all fixed. Like nothing happened. Maxie: Patrick, I'm -- Patrick: Maxie, don't. Okay, whatever you're gonna say, I don't want to hear it. We're past that, all right? Plus, Robin wouldn't want us standing in the hall, feeling guilty, when there's a whole town that we have to save. Only six degrees separate the body temperature Maxie: Um, Mac and Felicia came by earlier to visit Emma. They were on their way to volunteer at the nursing home. Patrick: That's good. The elderly are gonna need as much support as possible, especially staying hydrated. Maxie: Does it really matter? We're all just gonna die anyway. Patrick: Not if I have anything to do with it. Maxie: Patrick, I know you're brilliant and everything, but you're just one person. Patrick: Among many, Maxie, including the CDC that are all trying to do everything they can to combat this thing, but I think I might be onto something. Maxie: Seriously? Patrick: Originally, I was trying to synthesize the antidote by analyzing the immunogen that jerry gave Alexis and Josslyn. You lost me at "synthesize." Patrick: It doesn't matter because it didn't work. Maxie: Great. Patrick: Then I remember a conversation I had with Jason. Maxie: Jason Morgan? Patrick: Yes, Jason Morgan -- about the time that jerry poisoned Nikolas. Robin and I came up with a cure. And I know it's not the same pathogen, but if jerry is anything, he's egocentric, which means he wants to put his stamp on everything. Maxie: Including his toxins or whatever. Patrick: Right. So if this pathogen is at all similar to the other one, then hopefully the antiserum will be the same. Maxie: Well, do you remember how you did it the first time? Patrick: No, I don't. But luckily, my wife was very thorough, and she kept her notes. Maxie: That's awesome. Patrick: Not exactly, because her handwriting is atrocious. I mean, look at this. I have no idea what it means. It's like a puzzle from another language. Maxie: Well, then you're lucky you have a translator. Jax: That was the plan, right? That's why I couldn't come back to Port Charles, why I couldn't see my daughter again? Because if I'd shown my face, you would have blown me away? You could sabotage my plane again. Whatever it takes, right? Sonny: What is it with the Jacks boys? They just can't stay dead. Carly: Sonny, don't. Jax: You got away with attempted murder. Carly: This isn't the time for this, and you know that. Jax: Well, we might not get another chance to do this. Todd: You're an investigative reporter -- investigate. Find me jerry Jacks. Jax: I want it all out in the open. Sonny: Be my guest. Be my guest! Jax: Because of you, I lost my daughter. Sonny: No. You know what? You lost your daughter, Jax, because the judge said you weren't fit -- Jax: You set me up! Carly: You both need to knock it off! Sonny: I was just trying to even the playing field because you paid off the mediator! Jax: And then you forced me out of my home. Sonny: Don't put that on me. 'Cause you abandoned your kid. That was your choice. Jax: You didn't give me any choice! Johnny: Hey, come on! That's enough! This is not the time! Carly's right! Take a seat! Tracy: If we don't find jerry Jacks, we're all going to die. Todd: Except for you. You're the picture of health. Why is that? Joe Jr.: If the antidote's not here, then where is it? Jerry: I didn't say it wasn't here. Joe Jr.: Well, you just got done telling me that -- Jerry: No, no, no, no, I told you it wasn't in a safe here. You see, Dr. Ewen Keenan's been begging me for weeks to stop the madness. But little did he know that the key was right in his backyard, so to speak. Remember this briefcase, Joe? Joe Jr.: Uh -- Jerry: Yes. Be such a shame if it all went to waste, wouldn't it? McBain: Sam. Hey, there you are. Sam: What happened? McBain: You passed out. You hit your head. Sam: Yeah. McBain: You got a little bit of bleeding going on. Sam: Ow. McBain: Easy, easy. Sam: Ow, ow. Ow. McBain: All right, let's -- go easy, all right? You may have a concussion. Okay? Let me see. Let me see. Okay. Hang on. You just got a little blood here. All right? Sam: Ow. McBain: I'm -- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sam: No, no, it's okay. McBain: All right. How you feeling? Sam: Out of it, I guess. Uh, yeah. McBain: It's understandable. You took a pretty hard fall. Sam: You should go. I'll wait here until I feel better. You should go. McBain: Nice try, nice try. I'm not leaving you, all right? We need to get you to a doctor. Sam: Yeah. McBain: All right? Sam: Look, I'm -- I'm fine. McBain: Tell that your head. Sam: Go find jerry Jacks. You have to go. McBain: No, listen to me. I'm getting you out of here, all right? I'm not leaving you. Let's go. Sam: All right. McBain: Let's go. I got you. Spray100% juice blends Carly: Yeah. Why is that? Did you not drink the water? Tracy: I drank it. I bathed in it. Carly: Why aren't you sick like the rest of us? Tracy: I started to get sick. I was clammy and cold and -- Johnny: And then what happened? Tracy: Then I wasn't. Todd: You feel like a million bucks? Tracy: And I am willing to give a hell of a lot more than that, like all the rest of you. Carly: You need to go to the hospital. Tracy: Really? I'm the only one who doesn't feel sick. Todd: Yes, exactly. That makes you patient zero. Sonny: Not that I like to agree with him -- ever -- but if you have some kind of natural immunity to this thing, doctors need to know about it. Tracy: So you think that's possible, that I could have something in my system that nobody else does? Joe Jr.: I need that antiserum. Jerry: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. I already gave you a dose. And now that you mention it, you're a little worse for wear. Don't tell me you lost it. Joe Jr.: No, I was -- I was gonna take it, but then Tracy Quartermaine drank my water. Jerry: Did she know that you had the antiserum? You didn't tell her, did you? Joe Jr.: No, no, no, nothing like that! She had no idea she was saving her own life. Jerry: Then I find it puzzling that you should be so careless with a single dose of the counteragent. Unless -- [Laughing] Oh. Don't tell me -- you saved her at your own expense. [Laughs] Aren't we a chivalrous one? Joe Jr.: Well -- at least Tracy should make it through this all right. Tracy: Okay. Keep me posted. Carly: You too. Todd: Hey, Tracy -- [Coughing] -- You keep us posted, okay? If anythi -- [Coughs] Anything interesting happens, give me a call, all right? Tracy: Really? Todd: Yeah, really. Jax: So, whose idea was it to give in to my brother's demands? Todd: You mean, whose idea was it to save everybody in the town? That was my idea. That'd be my idea. Carly: Todd got us all together, thought we could split the ransom. Jax: Well, you don't have that kind of money. Carly: My husband does. Jax: Is that why you didn't sign the divorce papers? Sonny: You know what? This is all very touching, and I'm about to cry, but you know what? No one cares about your deep pockets. Carly: Sonny! Sonny: What? Carly: Stop! Sonny: Without jerry, there's no exchange! If there's no exchange, we're all dead! Todd: Yeah, thanks for that, by the way. Carly: What were you thinking, going after jerry? Jax: I thought I could convince him to do the right thing. Sonny: 'Cause your brother is such an upstanding guy? Is that why you did that? Jax: I got distracted because he mentioned something about Dr. Keenan. Sonny: Kate's psychiatrist? What does that have to do with anything? Carly: Do you know why his name was so familiar to you? Jax: Yes, he treated my father and then killed him. Carly: Keenan killed your father? Jax: And if I live to have the chance, he'll pay. [Monitors beeping] Steve: Here. Ewen: [Breathes deeply] Steve -- Steve: Shut up. You need all the strength you can get. Ewen: But it's -- it's too late. Steve: I'm gonna continue the surgery. Ewen: No. I heard what the nurse said. I hea -- heard what you said about my condition. I'm a doctor. Steve: Doctors heal people. They don't hurt people. And they certainly don't kidnap innocent mothers. Ewen: I know what it all means. I'm dying. Steve: You're still trying. Ewen: Surgery would be a waste of time. Steve: You still try. Ewen: No. No, not today. Just -- there's people that need you more. Help them. Okay, let -- let me go. [Crying] Please. Please, Steve. After what I've done -- Steve: Is there anybody I can call? I can get a priest. Ewen: No. No priest. Just get me Patrick drake. Patrick: Okay. What's this called? Called -- called "deep" -- "deplaque" or something? Maxie: "Cell depletion." Patrick: "Cell depletion." Good. That works. Maxie: Hey. Does, uh, "mass spectrometer" mean anything to you? Patrick: How are you doing that? That's -- that's literal chicken scratch. Maxie: One year, I stumbled on Robin's old English papers in the garage -- or I was desperately looking for them. Regardless, I had to make it my mission to decode her handwriting, and -- I happened to get an "a" in English that semester. Patrick: Congratulations. Thank you, Maxie. Maxie: For plagiarizing? I'm just reading the words, Patrick. You're doing the work. Patrick: Not only for that, but -- for Emma. Maxie: I love that little girl. You know that. Patrick: And -- the pills. Maxie: Patrick, don't. Patrick: You were the first one to notice that I was in trouble, and you didn't leave my side until I got help. Maxie: Anyone would have done the same thing. Patrick: I don't think so. But you took care of Emma when I couldn't, and -- I don't think you'll know how much that means to me. Maxie: Well, it's not enough. It's never gonna be enough. Patrick: Got to let it go, Maxie. Maxie: I can't. Patrick: Maxie -- you let it go. Look -- what happened to Robin -- was an accident. There's no reason for it. It doesn't make sense. I don't know why it happened, but I do know that I wouldn't have made it through without you. Maxie: Me neither. Elizabeth: The E.R. Is swamped. I don't know when they're gonna have time to get to you to get that bullet out. Jason: It's okay. I can wait. Elizabeth: The blood loss has lessened, but you're still gonna need to have that bullet removed, okay? Jason: Yeah, but I -- I can wait. It's okay. Elizabeth: In the meantime, I have an antibiotic to give you. Hope this doesn't hurt too much. Jason: Oh. Okay. I think I can manage. Elizabeth: Sorry I dragged you into this. Sorry I got you shot. Jason: Um -- you didn't, uh -- you didn't drag me into anything. I'm just glad I got there in time. Elizabeth: Me too. [Scoffs] Honestly -- if not now, then when, right? Always knew there was something wrong with Ewen. Jason: That's what you said. You thought something was off when you first met. Elizabeth: Yeah, but even after that, I tried to convince myself -- you know, talk myself into thinking that he was the right person for me. Jason: Well, you were -- you were hoping for something good. Elizabeth: I guess. But mostly -- Ewen was just -- McBain: Hey! Hey, we need a little help here! About the period, [Door opens] Steve: Patrick, Ewen Keenan's in the E.R. He's been shot. Maxie: Oh, my God. Patrick: Is Elizabeth okay? Maxie: Elizabeth? Steve: She's fine, but he's not gonna make it. He asked to see you. Patrick: Well, tell him I don't have time. I'm too busy cleaning up his mess. Steve: Come up with anything? Patrick: Not yet, but we're still going over Robin's notes. Steve: Okay, well, look. Why don't you let me take over a for a while? New set of eyes. Patrick: You're welcome to help, but I'm not going down there. Steve: I hear you. I really do, but he's not gonna last much longer. Patrick: Good. Steve: Patrick. The way he asked for you -- I don't know. I just -- I think you should go. Sam: Come on. This really is unnecessary. Jason: What happened? Sam: I just -- got a little lightheaded. McBain: Oh, no, it's more than that. She passed out. She hit her head on a desk pretty hard on the way down. Elizabeth: Did E.R. Send you up here? McBain: Yeah, they did. They said they had their hands full with people affected by the pathogen. Sam: Well, then you should probably go help them. I'm fine. McBain: You're not fine, all right? At least let Elizabeth have a look at you. Please? Sam: [Inhales sharply] Mm. Elizabeth: Well, you might be able to avoid stitches, but I'm gonna have to clean it up. Sam: That's good news. Sam: How's your, uh -- how's your leg? What happened? Jason: Oh, nothing. It's fine. Elizabeth: Uh, he was shot by Ewen. McBain: The goofy shrink? How'd you let that happen? Elizabeth: Ewen was using me as a shield, and Jason couldn't get a clean shot in without killing me. McBain: Oh. Okay, then. Where's Keenan now? Jason: In the E.R. With a bullet in his chest. Sam: Are you okay? Elizabeth: Thanks to Jason. Jason: What's going on with jerry? [Cell phone rings] McBain: Hang on. Let me get this. Yeah, it's McBain. Really? Really? Hey, how do you feel about mall security? I'm pretty sure you're gonna be there next week. Apparently, jerry Jacks has escaped. Present whereabouts unknown. Jerry: [Chuckles] My God, it's the stuff of Greek tragedy, you finding romance at a time like this, even if it is with Tracy Quartermaine. Joe Jr.: I need a dose! Jerry: Hey, hey, hey! One per customer. Joe Jr.: Come on! Are you serious?! Jerry: Does it look like I'm not?! Joe Jr.: Jerry, I saved your hide back at that jail! Jerry: Oh, come on! Drop it. Joe Jr.: Have a heart. Jerry: Ah, Joe, Joe, Joe -- proving my brother wrong one gesture at a time. Lose it -- and you're out of luck. Joe Jr.: We both got what we need. So this is it, right? Jerry: Yes, for us, until I need you again. [Coughing] Joe Jr.: I know that cough. It sounds pretty nasty. Did you down one of these? Jerry: Don't worry about me. I'm taking care of myself. [Cell phone rings] Joe Jr.: Hello? Tracy: Joseph, it's Tracy. I'm sorry I had to run out. How are you feeling? Joe Jr.: I'm feeling [Coughs] The effects. Mm. Like everybody else. Joe Jr.: Yeah, everyone except you. I mean, everyone except people who never drank the water. Tracy: Look, I don't know when I'm gonna be able to get back. I'm at the hospital. Joe Jr.: Why? Did something go wrong? Are you worse? Tracy: Actually, never better. Joe Jr.: Glad to hear it. Maxie: I could have read something wrong. Steve: No. No, no, no. Everything you've deciphered makes sense. It's just there's a missing link. Whatever jerry put in the water, it's like nothing we've seen before. Maxie: But you can figure this out, right? Steve: I'm gonna try. I'm just not sure what the next step is. There's no other way to manufacture a counteragent. Tracy: Maybe I can help. Jax: Dr. Keenan killed my father in some misguided attempt to avenge his own father's death. Sonny: You talking about the guy who helped Kate? Carly: Sometimes there are two sides to a person, Sonny. Todd: Hate when that happens, though, don't you? You know, when you think somebody's a really decent guy but it turns out they've done something really sickening? Johnny: Hmm. Todd: Would you agree, Johnny? Johnny: I would, but you'd know best, wouldn't you? Jax: I hoped that there was a, uh -- part of my brother left that I grew up with, but -- Sonny: Pretty clear you were wrong. Carly: Okay. Did jerry force Keenan to help him out of some kind of payback? Jax: No, it was blackmail. Jerry walked in on Keenan killing our father. Carly: Jerry stood there and watched your father die? Jax: And he justified it by saying how dad would have died anyway, and that's when I snapped and I took the gun from the guard. Sonny: Okay. You know what? You'll get your therapy eventually, 'cause you need it, but right now, I got to find your brother. Todd: Sonny, hold on. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. Sonny: What do you want? Todd: I want to find jerry. And there's safety in numbers. Come on. [Cell phone rings] Sonny: What -- Todd: Hello? Jerry: It's time. Todd: It -- time for what? Jerry: To finalize negotiations. Jax: Is it jerry? Todd: Yeah. Sonny: Get his location. Todd: Where are you? Jerry: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Um, do you have the money? Todd: Yep. We got it all. Jerry: Oh. "We"? Todd: Yeah, me and my peeps. You want to say hi? Jerry: Why not? Todd: Hold on. Okay, you're on. Jerry: Hello, everyone. Hello? Why don't you all identify yourselves? Well, a quiet little bunch, aren't you? Carly: Carly's here. Jerry: Who else? Johnny: John Zacchara. Jerry: Well, I assume you're not the only representative of the criminal element. Sonny, I presume? Sonny: Good guess. Jerry: Excellent! That leaves one more person of interest. Jasper? Don't you want to greet your big brother? Jax: Yeah, I'm here, jerry. Sonny: As soon as we're done with this roll call, we need to get down to business. Johnny: We got your money -- all $88 million of it -- in an offshore account. It's ready to be wired to an account of your choice. Sonny: Soon as we get the antiserum. Steve: You've been asymptomatic for several hours? Tracy: Never better. Maxie: Figures. Tracy: Excuse me? Maxie: Oh, no. I'm -- I'm just saying that it [Clears throat] Figures that someone of your maturity would escape this nightmare unharmed. You're lucky. Tracy: Does that translate as I'm too old to live? Steve: Okay. Let's get back on track here. Maxie: He's right. We should do that. Steve: If you're immune to the pathogen, we need to find out why. Wait here. I'm gonna arrange for some tests. Maxie: I'm gonna go -- check on Emma. Joe Jr.: There you are. Tracy: Hi. Joe Jr.: Hi yourself. Tracy: Wow. You are sweaty. Joe Jr.: [Chuckles] Well, you're not. You look beautiful. Tracy: Thank you, but there's not much to compare me to. How you feeling? Joe Jr.: Yeah, I'm -- I'm hanging in. Tracy: I think you actually look a little bit better than the last time I saw you. How's everybody at the house? Joe Jr.: I -- I was so focused on getting to you that I didn't check in on anyone else. [Coughs] I mean, I'm guessing they're doing as well as can be expected. Tracy: I felt terrible running out on you, but I had to get to the police station. Something terrible's happened. Joe Jr.: What? Tracy: Jerry Jacks escaped. Joe Jr.: From lockup? Tracy: I know. Joe Jr.: Whoa. Tracy: Apparently, he had help. [Monitors beeping] Ewen: Patrick. [Swallows] Patrick: What do you want? Ewen: [Crying] I'm so sorry. Patrick: You want forgiveness? Ewen: [Coughing] Patrick: Why don't you start with Elizabeth? You know what? Forget that. Why don't you apologize to the whole entire town that you're trying to kill? Ewen: It's not about the water. Patrick: Then what is it? What could you possibly say to me that I would have any interest in? Ewen: [Groans] Robin. Robin. McBain: Yeah, okay, look. I will meet you there, all right? I'm on my way. I got to get back to the station. Jason: I'm going with you. Elizabeth: No, no, no. You're not going anywhere. Jason: Well, you said the bleeding stopped. Elizabeth: I said the bleeding had lessened. You still have a bullet in your leg with a possible nicked artery. The only reason why you're not down in O.R. Is because there's no room for you. McBain: Yeah, look, there's nothing you can do right now anyway, all right? I promise to maybe call you if I need anything or anything changes. Take care of yourself, okay? Sam: Yeah, I will. You too. McBain: Yeah. Um -- I'll see you around. Sam: I hope so. Steve: I'm sorry. Elizabeth, if everything is under control in here, I could use your help. Elizabeth: Yeah, everything's fine. Jason: This can't be the end. Sonny: You better not be jerking us around, jerry. Jerry: Oh, would I do that? Johnny: You got the cure or not? Jerry: Yes, it's right in front of me. Jerry: Where are you, by the way? Carly: We're at the police station. We were on our way to your cell when we found out you had already left. Jerry: Oh, and, uh, thanks again for the save, little brother. Sonny: You come back, this time we'll get it right. Jerry: What, so they can take me into custody? I have a better idea. Watch out, wishful thinking Jerry: Bring what I want, and you'll get what you want. I so look forward to seeing you again. Todd: So abrupt. Johnny: We gonna get going or not? Jax: What? That's it? We're all just gonna believe my brother and just run off like that? What if he doesn't even have the antiserum? What if this whole thing's a trap? Tracy: Are you sure you should be here? Joe Jr.: Where else? Tracy: I don't know. Maybe there's somebody you feel especially close to or that you should be with them at a time like this. Joe Jr.: This is not it. You hear me? We're not going to die. Tracy: Somehow, for some reason, the way you say things, I believe you. Joe Jr.: Hmm. Steve: Tracy, Elizabeth's gonna take your blood. Tracy: Whatever you want. Elizabeth: This is really bizarre. You honestly feel okay? Tracy: I honestly feel okay. Steve: And if we find out why, we might be able to save thousands of lives, but we don't have a lot of time. Jerry: So, I've held up my end of the bargain with the delivery of Robin Scorpio, not that money means anything to me. It's what it can get me. Just so you know -- defaulting on our arrangement will cost you your life. [Indistinct shouting] McBain: If it's an excuse, I don't want to hear it. That's what I thought. Patrick: What about Robin? Ewen: Your wife -- Patrick: I know who she is. What about her? Ewen: There's something -- [Chokes] There's something you don't know. Patrick: Spit it out, Ewen. Ewen: Ro -- Robin -- R-ro-Robin -- [Chokes] [Flatline] Jason: Are you okay? Sam: You? With a bullet in your leg? Jason: I've been shot before. They're just gonna take it out. Sam: Assuming any of us live that long. Jason: Come on, Sam. You can't -- you can't think that way. Sam: Well, how else am I supposed to think, Jason? If jerry doesn't give over the antidote, then -- Jason: He can't run forever. Sam: He said we have 48 hours left to live. Jason: Yeah, we still have some time. Sam: But how much time? Jason, this can't be happening. We could be dying, and I can't -- help but wonder -- Jason: Wonder what? Sam: Not what. What if. What if we had made different choices? What if my baby had lived? How would our lives be different?
