Feeling betrayed, Reese sets out to link Sonny to the shootings and tells him so. Carly confronts Alcazar, who explains why he will keep Maria quiet about what she saw and heard. Diego senses that something is troubling Maria. Carly interrupts Reese's questioning of Maria. Reese later confronts Maria again. Jason needs to know all the details of Michael's death in order to give himself closure. Sonny becomes angry when he finds Sam with a blown up photo of a "dead" Michael. Sonny comes to understand why Jason needs answers about Michael. Sonny warns Jason that Reese is out to get them. AJ tricks Michael into believing that Sonny doesn't want him to come home. Michael agrees to go with AJ. Ric and Alexis argue about her desire to go after full custody of Kristina. Ric voices his worries to a supportive Elizabeth. Alexis enlists Dara's help to get Kristina away from Sonny.
Ric: Murphy. I came to view the crime scene. Ofc. Murphy: You could, but I believe your wife has beat you to it. Ric: Thanks. Ofc. Murphy: Mm-hmm. Ric: Excuse me. Hey. What are you doing? Alexis: What does it look like I'm doing? Ric: Well, you're supposed to be taking it easy for many reasons, not the least of which is that you're pregnant and you've been diagnosed with a heart condition. I think that taking pictures of a crime scene with multiple victims wouldn't be construed as a stress-reliever. Alexis: This is incontrovertible proof that Sonny has a brutal business. And I can talk till I'm blue in the face -- and I have -- but a picture is worth a thousand words, and I intend to use these as exhibit a in my petition to get sole custody of my daughter. Ric: There is no way I'm letting you do this. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Ric and Durant. I'm not saying a word without my attorney present. Reese: I tried to stop you. Sonny: So what. Reese: Sonny, I broke the rules to warn you -- no, to beg you not to do this. Sonny: Whatever. Reese: Don't you -- don't you walk away from me! I did everything I could to try to help you, and you went ahead and you did this thing anyway. Now, I'm sure you have every confidence that you're just going to get away with this, but you are not because somewhere out there, there is a witness. There is somebody who saw something or heard your name, and I'm going to find that person. And when I do, I'm going to come right back here and I'm going to personally arrest you for murder. [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: Shh, shh, shh. All right, tell me everything you know. Maria: I was entering the stairwell when a man ran past heading towards the upper floors. Lorenzo: Did he see you? Maria: I don't think so. I followed him to the door of the restaurant. I saw him arguing with two other men. They had guns. Lorenzo: Could you hear what they were saying? Maria: The man from the stairwell told the others to leave. One of the gunmen said that Mr. Corinthos instructed them not to leave any witnesses. The man from the stairs said that one of the witnesses was Sonny's sister, and again ordered them to leave. That time they did. Lorenzo: All right, the man from the stairs -- Maria, did you recognize him? Maria: Yes, from the papers. Jason Morgan. He and Sonny Corinthos planned the murders together. [SCENE_BREAK] Man: Mr. Quartermaine? A.J.: Keep your voice down. My son is sleeping. Go back to the mainland and await further instructions. Man: You want to stay here stranded with your kid? A.J.: This is the best chance I'm ever going to have to win my son's trust. I'm taking it. Now, get out of here. Michael: A.J.? This is great. Someone's here. Now I can finally go home. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Hey. Am I glad to see you. Jason: Somehow, my alibi checked out. Sam: Courtney backed up your story. Jason: Yeah. How do you know? You went to see her? You asked her to cover for me? Sam: You're not mad, are you? Jason: No, no, I'm not mad. Sam: I just didn't know what to do. Jason: When Courtney left the restaurant, I thought I was finished. I thought that she would never back me up. I actually thought I might be going to prison this time. Sam: Oh, Jason -- Jason: Something you said got through to her. Sam: Just I'm so glad you're okay. I'm sorry. Jason: So how was the dedication? Sam: It was nice. I'm really sad that you couldn't have been there for the whole thing. There was this really weird moment, though. Carly had walked over to the swing set and she thought she had seen Michael, like in a vision or something. It was really sad, Jason. Jason: Maybe -- maybe it helped. You know, because I would -- I would give anything to see Michael. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: I don't want to lay down. I want to go home. A.J.: Michael, but you're still weak from the insect bite. Please, you need your rest. Michael: My mom and dad are at the airport. Jason's there, too. I want to call them. A.J.: I don't have a phone. Michael: The pilot does. A.J.: Michael, Michael, please, please. He's getting the plane ready. We don't want to slow him down, do we? Please. Come on, you need your rest. Please? Thank you. A.J.: I can make all this worth your while. Pilot: You can't even make up your mind. First, it's take the kid, then leave him here. Now take him again? A.J.: Look, here's the deal -- you can leave me and my kid stranded here, or I'll pay you 200 grand to do me a small little favor. What do you say? [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: You were right to call me. Maria: I don't -- I don't know what to do. Lorenzo: You need to keep quiet. That's what you need to do. Maria: I'm afraid, Lorenzo. Lorenzo: Well, you have good reason to be afraid. Listen, I've dealt with situations like this before. I will take care of everything, but you need to take a break for a few minutes. Go outside, take a walk, calm down. When you come back, you answer questions only if you have to. You do not volunteer information. Maria: I'll try. Lorenzo: Good. I'll see you in a little while. Lorenzo: How much of that did you hear? Carly: I heard everything. And now I'm wondering if you're going to use what I just heard to put Sonny in prison. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Personally? When did this get personal? Reese: This has been personal for a long time, Sonny, and you know it. Sonny: Oh -- there's nothing between us, Agent Marshall. I don't have a clue what you're talking about. You're acting like I kicked you out of bed! Don't you do that to me. Reese: I lied for you, Sonny! I withheld evidence from the F.B.I. to protect you, and I even warned you what happen to you if you organized that massacre. Yet you went ahead and you did it anyway. You betrayed me. Sonny: I never made any promises to you. Reese: Did it take the pain away, Sonny? How about shooting into a room where your little sister was eating lunch, or having someone strangle a man in a hospital elevator? Did it bring Michael back? Do you feel better now? Sonny: I feel great. Reese: Then you're admitting that you ordered the murders? Sonny: You got this idea in your head about the Sandovals that I had something against them. And you dreamed up this idea about a mob war, start running your mouth, questioning me, my family. Reese: Sonny, I was trying to help you. Sonny: You -- you were trying to set me up, pretending to care about my children, trying to get me -- Reese: Oh, Sonny -- Sonny: To trust you. My son was thrown out like a piece of garbage, and you didn't save him because you were so busy building a case against me. Reese: That is not fair. Sonny: I'm not fair now? Okay, so I'm not fair, I betrayed you, and I ordered a mass murder. Oh, yeah, I forgot -- I didn't take you to bed, which is what you're really mad about. Don't even try to slap me again. I don't like it. Reese: You gave me so much information that I could've arrested you at any point. Sonny: If you can arrest me, do it right now. If you can prove that I ordered the hit on the Sandovals, get on the phone, call Ric Lansing, John Durant on his cell, email your superiors in Washington if you have to! If you hurry up, you'll catch the 11:00 news. Reese: Don't you presume that you know me or anything that I want. And don't lie to my face about murders that you ordered when you were pretending to honor your dead son. Sonny: All I know is my family is safe now, a lot safer than they were before. [SCENE_BREAK] Lorenzo: At one time, I would've used that information against Sonny. Not anymore. Carly: Even though what Maria knows could put Sonny and Jason away for life? Lorenzo: Maria's the mother of my son. I'm not going to do anything to risk her life, and I hope you won't, either. Carly: So if I stay quiet, you will, too? Is that what you're saying? Lorenzo: I always keep quiet to protect the ones I care about. Why did you follow me? Carly: What can I say? I needed to know where you were going. Lorenzo: Carly, if you tell anyone that Maria can place Jason at the scene of the Sandoval murders or that she heard him talking about orders from Sonny, Maria will be the first innocent person to die in all of this. Carly: No. Maria will be the second. Michael was the first. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Carly wanted to see Michael on these swings, so she did. But all I can see in my mind is that picture of Michael in the swamp, and that picture makes me want to keep searching for the facts. Sam: Well, Jason, everyone heals in different ways. That is exactly what you would tell me. Jason: Yeah, I would. Sam: Then you need to let it take as long as it takes. Hey, you're going to find a way to put Michael to rest in your heart and in your mind, and then you're going to be able to move on. [SCENE_BREAK] A.J.: What the hell is this, huh? You come all the way out here, you get my kid hopped up, all excited, and now you tell me Sonny still doesn't want him? Pilot: I have my orders. A.J.: Look, call him back. Pilot: There's no way I'm going against Sonny Corinthos. A.J.: Well, give me the phone. I'll call Carly myself. Pilot: She's not going against him, either. A.J.: Well, then what are you doing here, huh? Pilot: My orders are to rescue Michael, get him someplace safe, but not to bring him home to Port Charles. A.J.: Well, where are you supposed to take him? Pilot: Anyplace you want, I guess. Mr. Corinthos told me point-blank that Michael is all yours. [SCENE_BREAK] Diego: Ma. Maria: Hi. Diego: Hey, I just heard. You okay? Maria: Yeah, I think so. Diego: You sure? Maria: Yeah. Diego: Were you up here when this happened? Maria: No, thankfully. Diego: Listen, I want you to take this money, okay? Maria: No. No, I don't need the money. Diego: Seriously, I don't want you working in a place that gets shot up, plus I don't want you supporting me, either. Okay, fine, then take Alcazar's money. Diego: What if there's trouble again? Can you -- Ma -- please, Ma? Por favor, just take it. Take it, okay? Maria: Gracias. Would you be happy living anyplace else? Diego: What? What, you want to leave town? Maria: I was just asking. Diego: Ma? Are you mixed up in this? [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: Will you stop, please? Alexis: You won't let me? See if you can stop me. Ric: Your pictures won't prove that Sonny ordered the murders. Alexis: But he did, didn't he, and you know that. And yet you let Kristina go to that dedication when you knew something was going to happen there that was terrible. She sat on his lap, and you knew that he could've been shot at at any moment. Ric: You're overreacting. Alexis: You think? How big does the body count have to get? How many more people have to die -- Ric: Sonny still has unlimited visitation. Alexis: That was before. Ric: "Before" nothing. As far as the law is concerned, nothing has changed. Alexis: Michael was just murdered. Morgan and Kristina were just kidnapped, never mind the carnage that has just happened in this place and the retaliation that is sure to follow. Last time I checked, that was against the law. Ric: Faith Rosco threatened all of us, not just Sonny, all right? And as far as the -- the murders are concerned, there's no way you're going to prove that Sonny was involved. Alexis: I could if you would help me. But you won't, and I want to know why. When, all of a sudden, did it happen that you refuse to take my side? Ric: I am still on your side. I am still your husband. But I am trying to look at this -- I'm trying to get the big picture here. Alexis: What is it that you're seeing that you think I can't see? Ric: Well, I'm seeing a pregnant woman who continues to get upset despite her doctors' orders. I see a frustrated attorney who feels guilty that she kept Sonny out of jail years ago. But mostly -- mostly, Alexis, I see a wife who needs to trust her husband. Alexis: I'm trying. I -- Ric: If there is a case against Sonny, I will pursue it. I swear to you, if there is a legal way that I can restrain his access to Kristina, I will do that. But in the meantime, you need to back off and give him a little breathing room. Alexis: Anything else? Ric: Alexis, you have your child back safe, alive. Be happy for that. Spend time with her. Why would you risk our family for a fight that you are not going to win? Now, I want -- I want to be able to go to the park, all three of us. I want to be able to make love to you. I want to have a normal life. Alexis: I don't really see how that's how going to happen. Ric: Did you hear anything that I just said? Alexis: I heard a husband who doesn't seem to take my concerns very seriously. I heard a D.A. who seems to be intimidated by his own brother and I heard a man who seems to be more invested in his unborn child than he is the well- being of my daughter. Ric: That is not true, Alexis. What do you want from me, huh? If I had strong enough evidence to go into court, I would go after Sonny. If I could convince Sonny to back off of Kristina, I'd do that, as well. I am trying to be a good husband here. So why don't you tell me, what do you want? Alexis: I want you to promise me that my daughter is going to be safe with your brother. I want you to promise me that she is not going to be kidnapped again. I want you to promise me that she will not be killed in cold blood like Michael was or caught in the crossfire like my sister was. I want you to promise me that Sonny's lifestyle will not hurt my daughter. Ric: Our daughter. Alexis: Can you promise me those things? I rest my case. [SCENE_BREAK] Maria: I'm not sure Port Charles is the best place for us, that's all. Diego: Mom, do you know anything about this? Maria: Never mind. I shouldn't have mentioned it. Diego: No, no, listen -- Mom, listen, look, if you can't trust me with what's scaring you, then go to my father, okay? Trust Alcazar. He'll help you, okay? Maria: Yes. Si. Diego: All right. Ciao. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: All right, just a little bigger. There you go. That's really clear. Stan: Do you even know what you're looking for? Sam: Yeah, I do. What is wrong with this picture? Stan: It's pretty grim. Sam: I know, Jason can't seem to get it out of his mind. I don't know if it's because he's still grieving or if there is something really off. Hey, don't -- please, please don't say anything to Sonny about this, okay? He's still in pain, he doesn't need to know, and I just -- is that a swamp? Do you think that's a swamp? I think that could be the foliage near the house where Faith was keeping the kids. Stan: Yeah, I'll check it out. Sam: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is that blood or mud on his shirt? Blow it up a little bigger because I think -- Stan: Hey! Sonny: What do you -- what do you think you're doing? [SCENE_BREAK] A.J.: Michael? We can get ready to go now. But there's a slight change of plans. You see, there's a small problem with the plane. Nothing serious. Now, it can make it to my place in the Bahamas, no problem. If that's okay with you. Would you like to stay with me for a while, huh? Listen, I know it's not home, but it's a nice place. The weather's great, it's on the beach. There's a speedboat. Michael: I'll go wherever you want. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Can I help you with something? Maria: No, I was just -- Jason: You were just staring at me. Is something wrong? Maria: No, I thought you were someone I know. Jason: Who? Maria: I don't know. I was mistaken. I -- Lorenzo: Maria? Of course you know who this man is. I don't blame you for being nervous after what you've seen. I doubt that the two of you have met. Jason Morgan, Maria Sanchez. Maria is Diego's mother. You've seen Mr. Morgan on the news, haven't you? Maria: Yes. Lorenzo: And the man he works for, he's on the news, too, in the papers. Maria: Yes, yeah. Lorenzo: Maria's new in town. She's had some unpleasant experiences with colleagues of mine in the past. She's still learning who her friends are. Maria: I just never saw you in person, that's all. Lorenzo: In light of the recent tragedy, it's no wonder that everyone's on edge. Pardon Maria's nerves. She means nothing personal. Maria: That's right. Lorenzo: Maria has kindly agreed to stay in town to take care of our son. I'm privileged to be taking care of them both. Maria: I need to get to work. Lorenzo: I understand. Maria: Nice to meet you. Lorenzo: I'm impressed with what Sonny has accomplished. This playground is a wonderful tribute to Michael, a great service to the community. I'd like to make a donation. Jason: Yeah, I'll check with Sonny. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: Elizabeth. Hi. Elizabeth: Hi. Ric: How's Dr. Adair? Elizabeth: She's still in the O.R. Ric: Hmm. Any idea when she might be out? Elizabeth: Oh, you would have to ask one of her doctors, but I don't think anytime soon. Ric: Okay. Elizabeth: Did you know that one of the murders happened in that elevator? Ric: Yeah. Elizabeth: So, how's Alexis doing? Ric: Well, I think it's unrealistic of me to expect her to stay calm. Elizabeth: Well, she's been through a lot. Ric: Yeah. Elizabeth: You both have. Ric: I don't need to be telling my problems to you. Elizabeth: Hey. Hey. It's me, remember? I've seen you at your worst. I think I can manage. Ric: That's right. You know, in a way, my life was a lot simpler when I hated Sonny. I mean, I knew what I wanted. I was clear, you know? Elizabeth: Mm-hmm, and you also drove yourself insane -- not a figure of speech, by the way. Ric: Well, yeah, there is that. Alexis wants to keep Kristina away from Sonny 100% of the time now. It's not realistic. I mean, she's not going to win. Sonny still has his rights as a father, and Kristina loves him. The harder Alexis fights, the tougher Sonny's going to get. Elizabeth: Puts you in an awkward position, doesn't it? Ric: Yeah. What would you do with Cameron, I mean, if Zander was still alive? Elizabeth: Well, of course, I'd let him visit. I mean, I think every child deserves a father. Alexis: Even a father who's a professional criminal whose enemies murdered his own son? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: We had the memorial, dedicated the playground. Why are you dredging up the worst thing that's ever happened to any of us? Does Jason know you're looking at that picture? Sam: Jason needs to know exactly what happened, Sonny. Sonny: What happened is Michael's dead. Jason understands that. Sam: Then you don't know Jason at all, do you? Sonny: You do? I'm not going to let you torture Jason with this picture. You're having him run around town -- Sam: No, no, no, Jason needs closure! If getting all the details helps him, then -- Sonny: There's no closure! My son is dead! Let him rest! Jason: Hey, hey, hey, hey. It wasn't Sam's idea, Sonny, it was mine. Jason: Are you all right? Sam: Yeah, I'm fine. The two of you need to work this out. Sonny: You asked Sam to do this? Jason: Yeah, I did. Sonny: Why didn't you tell me? Jason: Because you're in enough pain. Sonny: Michael was my son. Jason: Michael was my son, too, Sonny. Sonny: Why are you looking at this picture? Jason: I get to grieve for Michael the way I want to grieve. Sonny: You're only making it worse. Jason: Then you don't even have to look at it! Sonny: Why are you putting yourself through this? Why is looking at that thing that used to be Michael, how is that -- Jason: Because I have to know what really happened, that's why! Sonny: What really happened is Faith murdered Michael. It's done! Let's move on! Jason: I'm sorry; I'm not ready to do that yet. Sonny: None of us are. But looking at that picture -- it's -- it's wrong. Don't think of Michael dead. Think of him on the beach. You guys used to go swimming. Right? He used to laugh, he used to chase you. Shut that picture out of your mind. Only think about the good pictures. Because that's all we have left. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Just because a man is a father doesn't mean that he is capable of raising a child. Elizabeth: I -- I completely agree. Alexis: Zander's father I know loved him very much. But because he lied and he deceived him, Zander's life was destroyed. Ric: Sonny's different. Alexis: He is different. He not only lies, he murders. And yet he expects everyone's love and everyone's respect. Elizabeth: But he is still Kristina's father. Alexis: Elizabeth, would you leave your son alone with Sonny? Elizabeth: Alexis, all I was saying is that in a perfect world, every child deserves -- Alexis: I know, but it isn't a perfect world. I wish that it were. But it isn't. I don't doubt for one minute that Sonny loves Kristina. But she shouldn't have to put her life on the line in order for him to do that. And if he really loved her, he would acknowledge that and he would give her up. Ric: That's not going to happen if you keep pushing so hard. Alexis: Thank you for your compassion and understanding. Ric: Where -- where are you going? Alexis: I thought the judge might need some pictures of the elevator. Ric: Why do I not like the sound of that? Alexis: You don't need to. Elizabeth: Did I make everything worse? Ric: Not at all. Elizabeth: You know, I don't blame her for being upset. Ric: Well, neither do I. But Alexis isn't thinking clearly. Threatening Sonny's only going to make things worse. [SCENE_BREAK] Reese: Ms. Sanchez? I have a few more questions. Maria: Oh, I'm busy at the moment. Reese: Are you a manager here? Maria: Assistant manager. Reese: Oh, well, this kind of thing has to be really bad for business, huh? Maria: Hmm, business will pick up once the local news finds another story. Reese: Hmm. Were you here working at the time of the shooting? Maria: Yes. Reese: Yeah. So before the shooting, did you see anything out of the ordinary? Maria: No. Reese: If people don't come forward, this kind of thing's going to keep happening. Carly: Agent Marshall. I need to speak to you. It's really important. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: I should track Alexis down. Elizabeth: Well, maybe you both just need a break. Ric: You haven't noticed, Alexis is a little high-maintenance. Elizabeth: Yeah, but you love her anyway. Ric: You know, after what happened between you and me, I didn't think I'd ever get a chance at love, much less marriage again. Alexis came at me sideways, though. I mean, I pursued her for my own reasons. It started out as, I mean, a manipulation, but, I mean, now she's pregnant with my child. I just -- I want -- I want a chance to make this work. Elizabeth: So what are you going to do? Ric: Well, if she would -- I don't know, if she would give in a little, maybe Sonny would. But she's not going to do that. Elizabeth: Well, maybe she just can't. Ric: No, she's obsessed. Believe me, I know the signs. Elizabeth: Yeah. Ric: Alexis is starting a fight that she's not going to be able to win, and I don't know how to help her. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Hi. That's okay. You can still swing. Alexis: Hi. It's Alexis Davis. It's been a while. Probably the last person you expected to hear from. I have a proposition for you. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Reese is turning out to be a problem. She tried to warn me not to go against the Sandovals, and I ignored her. I guess she feels betrayed. This is getting personal for her. Jason: She have any evidence? Sonny: She's looking for an eyewitness. Tell me there isn't one. Jason: I don't know. Sonny: I need you to stay focused on this. Don't let what happened to Michael slow you down, okay? Don't get distracted by your grief. Because if you do, everything we have accomplished so far will be for nothing. [SCENE_BREAK] Reese: I'm in the middle of an investigation. Carly: Yeah, and like I said, it's important. Maria: I have to get to work. Reese: Stay in the hotel, okay? Maria: I understand. Reese: Thank you. Nice work. You obviously didn't want me talking to her. Carly: Well, why bother talking to anyone? You've already decided who's responsible. Reese: Sonny started a mob war. Nine people are dead. I have plenty of evidence, enough to make a case. Carly: And then what? Reese: And then I turn it over to the prosecutor, I testify at the trial, and I walk away. Carly: Oh, well, maybe you could, I don't know, get a conviction, find some evidence, get a jury to believe that he's guilty. Maybe you could do those things. But I've seen the way that you look at Sonny, and there's no chance that you are going to walk away. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: Oh. Elizabeth: You're blaming yourself for a lot of this, aren't you? Ric: Well, a lot of it is my fault. Elizabeth: Were you wrong to put Faith in prison, make peace with Sonny? To want the very best for Kristina and Alexis and your baby on the way? Ric: Didn't look at it like that. Elizabeth: Hmm. Ric, you've made some terrible mistakes. Ric: Hmm. Elizabeth: But now you're trying to make amends, which is really wonderful. But it doesn't mean that you have to fix everything right away. You know, give yourself a break a little. Everybody deserves a second chance. Sometimes a third, even a fourth. [SCENE_BREAK] Dara: Alexis? Hey. Alexis: Hi. Listen, thank you so much for meeting me here. Dara: Yeah. It's been a while. Alexis: Yeah. How you liking family law? Dara: Well, some days are better than others. I surely don't miss any of this. I'm not going back to the D.A.'s office. Alexis: It's their loss. Dara: Hey, how's Kristina? Alexis: Lucky to be alive. Dara: I was sorry to hear about Michael Corinthos. Alexis: That boy didn't stand a chance. But my daughter will, which is why I called you. I want us to work on the same team for once -- against Sonny. Dara: You're going for full custody? Alexis: Yeah. And I'm going to do whatever's necessary to get it, legal or otherwise. [SCENE_BREAK] A.J.: Hey. The pilot's ready. I know you've been going through a tough time, Michael, but it's going to be okay. Trust me. Growing up -- it isn't easy -- learning who really loves you and who doesn't. But I want you to know, as long as you are with me, I will protect you from all that bad stuff. That's what a father does. I won't lie to you. And I will do my best to keep you from getting hurt. Come on. Let's go home. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Did Sonny calm down? Jason: Not much. Sam: Not much? What about you? Jason: Agent Marshall's looking for a witness in the Sandoval shootings. Sam: She won't find any, will she? Jason: I don't know, Sam. Sam: You don't know? Jason, you need to go over what happened exactly, from the second you walked into that building. Jason: You're starting to think like me. Sam: No, no, no, who else might have seen you that night? [SCENE_BREAK] Reese: Ms. Sanchez? Maria: Yes? Reese: Do you have time for a couple questions now? Maria: Not right now. Reese: Come on. Where were you when the shooting took place? Maria: Here on the stairs. I couldn't have seen anything. Reese: Then why are you so nervous? Maria: It's a terrible thing that happened here. Everyone's afraid. Reese: But if you did see something -- Maria: I didn't. Reese: But if you did, it would be safer for you just to tell me now. Maria: I can't. I'm sorry. Reese: Ms. Sanchez? If you are a witness, the killers will figure it out, and they will do whatever it takes to keep you silent. They could threaten, even kill you or your family. Maria: I saw a man running up the stairs. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Sonny? I thought I'd find you here. Sonny: Michael loved these swings. Maybe we shouldn't tear them down. Carly: God, I wish you could've seen him. It felt so real. I was just sitting in the chair at the ceremony and I looked up and there he was. God, I wish I could tell him I loved him. Sonny: Michael knew you loved him. That's why he was waving goodbye to you on the swing. Carly: But that's just it, Sonny. It's weird. He wasn't. He wasn't waving goodbye. He was just sitting there, like he has in these swings a thousand times before. Sonny: You're the one who told me we have to let go. Carly: Maybe I was wrong. Sonny: We have to let Michael leave. We have to let Michael fly up out of these swings like he always wanted to. Otherwise, we'll never be able to go on. [NEXT_ON] Steven: Rachel made it through surgery, but she hasn't regained consciousness. It's not a given that she ever will. Jason: The police have no evidence to connect me to the Sandoval murders. Maria: He went by so quickly. Reese: Let's just cut to the chase here. The man you saw was Jason Morgan, wasn't it?
