Stefano changes the locks at the mansion and orders that everyone be kept away now that his soldier is mobile. EJ sneaks in the back door but is knocked over the head when the soldier catches EJ searching through Stefano's desk. Stefano won't even tell EJ who his new soldier is but panics when the soldier leaves the mansion. Sami learns that Lucas left with Kate but Roman won't let her join the search for Lucas. EJ checks in to make sure Sami didn't take Johnny and join Lucas on the run, spoiling his attempt to hide his renewed ability to walk. EJ offers to help find Lucas in exchange for Sami not turning Johnny against him from the start. Mr. Decker visits the sorority house to question Chelsea about Ford's disappearance. Mr. Decker insists on searching the house until Billie threatens to arrest him for trespassing. Billie shows Mr. Decker the surveillance footage, not knowing that it was really Max dressed as Ford, but Mr. Decker isn't convinced because Ford's face isn't shown. Max comes close to learning the truth about Stephanie's rape but they are interrupted by Chelsea's panicked phone call asking them to come help move the body before Mr. Decker can return.
[Doorbell rings] E.J.: [Imitating Rolf] Rolf, what is going on? [Normal voice] Did somebody change the locks? Dr. Rolf: Yes, they did. E.J.: Why did they do that? Dr. Rolf: Your father did not say. E.J.: Okay. Dr. Rolf: Um, Stefano is not here. E.J.: Okay. Well, I'm just gonna go and wait for him in the living room. Dr. Rolf: Your father would not be happy. E.J.: What is going on, Rolf? Why won't you let me in? Dr. Rolf: No one is allowed in. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucas: Sami... remember how you told me sometimes we're forced to do things we don't want to do to protect our family? I didn't understand that at first, but I do now. Baby, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But I hope you'll at least try to understand. And I know that's asking a lot, but I love you and I love our kids, and you'll have to be strong for them. I'll do anything to protect you guys, even if it means saying goodbye. [Knock on door] Sami: Dad. Daddy, thank you so much for coming. I don't understand how Lucas could do this to our family on Christmas Day, no less. Roman: Do you have any idea where he might have gone? Sami: No, he just said that he had to leave in his note, to protect our family. Roman: Protect you from what? Sami: Dad, I don't know. I just want you to help me find him. Roman: All right. I already put out an APB on Lucas and Kate. Sami: An APB? Why Kate? Roman: Lucas isn't alone. Lucas is with Kate. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: It's never gonna work for us. Max: Steph, wait. I'm not gonna let you leave here until I tell you how I really feel. If you just give me a chance, I'm there. I'm all in, 100%. Stephanie: I'm sorry. [SCENE_BREAK] [Knock on door] Max: Steph, it's me, Max. [Knocking continues] Look, I know you're in there. Just, come on, please open the door. I'm not gonna leave until, you know, I -- hi. Stephanie: Hi. Max: Um...I'm sorry for just coming by. I tried calling, and, you know... Stephanie: I know. I was in the shower. Max: I was thinking maybe before work we could get some bagels and some lattes and stuff. Stephanie: I'm not really hungry, but thanks. Max: I thought maybe we could talk, also. Stephanie: I thought we decided to be friends. Max: I know, but that's not what I'm talking about. You pushed my hand away when I tried to touch you. Stephanie: You caught me off guard. I'm sorry. Max: I don't think that's what it is. I think it's more than that. I just wish you'd tell me what happened, what's going on. Stephanie: No! Get off of me! Stop! Max: Steph? Stephanie: [Cries] [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Good morning. Nick: Morning. Chelsea: Is that for me? Nick: It is. Chelsea: Thank you. Nick: You're welcome. Chelsea: It's really cold in here. Nick: You want me to start another fire? Chelsea: No. I was thinking maybe you could warm me up. Nick: Are you sure? It's no problem. Chelsea: Yes, I'm sure. You know, last night was pretty perfect. Nick: Perfect, huh? Well, I'm glad you enjoyed your photo album. Chelsea: I did. But, um, that's not really what I was talking about. Nick: Mmm. What were you talking about? Chelsea: Well, I was thinking that since I was cold, maybe you could warm me up in some other way. Nick: Ohhh. As in, uh... Chelsea: You know what I mean. Nick: You want me to, like... Chelsea: Nick, you can say it. Have sex. Nick: I thought guys weren't supposed to talk about sex. Chelsea: Who told you that? Nick: Max. He said I could use some tips on women, and he said I shouldn't talk about sex. Chelsea: Well, Max is kind of clueless when it comes to women. He should be taking advice from you. Nick: Oh, really? Chelsea: Yes, 'cause I think you are just perfect. Nick: How about that? [Knock on door] Chelsea: Who could that be? Everybody's gone for the holiday. Nick: I'll go check. [Sighs] Hello? Crawford: I'm looking for Chelsea. Nick: Excuse me. Crawford: Where's my son? [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: So Lucas is with Kate. Roman: Yeah, we believe so. Last night, the neighbors saw Kate pack her car with suitcases before she left. Sami: But she was here. She's the one who gave me Lucas' letter. But I can totally see where this is her idea. Roman: It's very possible, yeah. Sami: He promised me he wouldn't leave. He promised me we could talk about this. Roman: Where did he tell you he was going? Sami: To see Will in Switzerland. Roman: He lied. Sami: No kidding. Roman: So, Lucas and Kate could be leaving the country. Sami: And with Kate's resources, they'll probably get away with it. Roman: We've already got an APB out on them. We'll find them. And when we do... we're gonna have to arrest Lucas for attempted murder. [SCENE_BREAK] E.J.: You never did share with me your plan for the Brady's. I thought the vendetta's over. Is it not? Stefano: You have nothing to worry about, Elvis. Giovanni will be well taken care of. Salud. E.J.: Okay. What have you got for my son? What are you up to? [Grunts] [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: This is so embarrassing. I'm sorry for acting like such a head case. Max: Don't be. We're friends, Steph. I meant what I said. I just wish you'd tell me what's going on. I know that the thing that happened with Ford was very traumatic for you, you know, him falling down the stairs and burying him in the basement. Stephanie: Yeah, I'm still having nightmares about that. Max: You didn't do anything wrong. He attacked Chelsea. He lost his balance. He fell down the stairs. It was a terrible accident. Stephanie: That we covered up. Max: To protect everyone. There was a good chance that no one's gonna believe that, that's an accident. Stephanie: I know. Max: So stop beating yourself up about it. Stephanie: I'm trying! It helps when I think about what Ford took away from Cordy -- her ability to trust. She never used to be afraid of men. Now she thinks they're all predators like Ford. Max: She told you this? Stephanie: She didn't have to. I see it every time she's with a guy. It's like she knows he won't hurt her, but the minute he gets too close... Max: She pushes him away. Just like you pushed me away when I tried to touch you. [SCENE_BREAK] Crawford: Where's my son? Chelsea: I don't know. Crawford: You do know, and you better tell me now. Nick: She said she doesn't know. Crawford: Who are you? Nick: I'm Nick Fallon. I'm an associate professor. Crawford: Do you know my son? Nick: We've met. And I'm sorry. I can't imagine what you and your family must be going through. Crawford: My wife is devastated. We both are. Chelsea: I'm sorry. Crawford: For what, Miss Brady? What did you do to my son? Chelsea: Nothing. Crawford: I don't believe you. I know it was you who organized the witch hunt against Ford. I saw the flyers, heard all the rumors. Nick: With all due respect, sir, they weren't rumors. They were true. Chelsea: Your son was a rapist. And I'm sorry, but I had to warn other people. Crawford: Was a rapist? As in he's not now? [SCENE_BREAK] [Indistinct screaming] Stephanie: Chelsea! [Gasping] Chelsea: He's dead. Stephanie: Are you okay? Chelsea: I don't feel so good. Slone: Morgan, anything? Morgan: He's still not breathing. Carmen: Call 911. They'll be able to give him oxygen or shock him or something. Slone: It's too late. Morgan: What? No. He can't be. He can't. Slone's right. He's dead. [SCENE_BREAK] Crawford: What did you do to my son? Crawford: Tell me where Ford is. Nick: You need to back off, or I'm calling security. Crawford: Miss Brady's mother  please, call her. I'd like to speak with her, too. Chelsea: Nick, we need my mom. I honestly don't know where your son is. Crawford: And yet you were the last person to see ford before he went missing. Chelsea: It's like I told the campus police. He came over here drunk. Crawford: And you let him sleep on the couch. Chelsea: Yeah, because he was too drunk to drive. Crawford: I thought you and your friends were afraid of my son. Chelsea: We are. Your son is dangerous, and he should be locked up after what he did to Morgan and Cordy. Crawford: But he didn't go to jail, did he, so you and your friends decided to take matters into your own hands, didn't you? Chelsea: That's not true. Nick: Your mom is on her way. Crawford: Good. Tell me when she gets here. Chelsea: Where are you going? Crawford: To search this place from top to bottom. If Ford's here, I'll find him. Chelsea: No, you can't go up there. Nick, we have to stop him. Nick: It's okay. Hey. If it's gonna make him happy, let him look. He's not gonna find anything. He's not gonna find anything, is he? Chelsea: Of course he's not gonna find anything. [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: I've been acting pretty weird lately, huh? Max: Well, I wouldn't say "weird," but you definitely haven't been yourself. Stephanie: I know. One minute I'm all over you, and the next I'm pushing you away. I realize I've been sending some confusing signals, and I'm sorry. Max: Look, it's okay. I know you've had a lot on your mind lately. Stephanie: I do. I'm worried about Cordy. She's feeling a lot better since I found her at Chez Rouge, but I know she still blames herself. Max: That's crazy. There's no way she would have known that he -- Stephanie: It's not crazy. What happened to Cordy was painful and real. Max: Somehow, I don't think we're talking about Cordy anymore, are we? Steph, did Ford hurt you? [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: Daddy, please. Please don't arrest Lucas. Roman: Sami, we got no choice. Ballistics confirmed the bullet in E.J.'s back came from the gun that Lucas purchased. Sami: That doesn't mean that Lucas is the one who shot him. Roman: The gun has his prints all over it. Sami: Because it was his. Roman: And Lucas gave us false statements and tried to conceal evidence. Sami: Dad, he didn't do it. Roman: I would like to think that, too, Sami, but we got to look at the circumstances. E.J. raped you. E.J. forced you to divorce Lucas. Lucas lost everything. If that's not enough to drive a man to desperation, I don't know what is. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: A man should never drink before lunch, Elvis. E.J.: Ow! I'm not drinking, Father. Ow. Somebody hit me. Stefano: I know. Come on. Come on. Up, up, up, up. There you go. E.J.: Ow! Ow! What do you mean you know? You know who this person was? Stefano: It was my houseguest. E.J.: Well, who is your houseguest? Stefano: You should have checked with me before you tried to come into the house. E.J.: All right, what's going on, huh? Stefano: You tell me. Why are you searching through my desk? E.J.: Oh, you know about that, do you? Stefano: Unfortunately for you, my houseguest is very thorough. E.J.: Who is this houseguest? Stefano: You will find out in good time. Now, tell me why you were searching through my desk. E.J.: Because I was looking for information. Stefano: Information. What kind of information? E.J.: I would like to know exactly what you meant when you said that Johnny would be, uh, how did you put it? "Well taken care of." Stefano: [Chuckles] And you think that you would find a clue in my desk. E.J.: I thought it was a good place to start. Now, why don't you tell me what your intentions are? Stefano: I have told you this before. Giovanni is a DiMera, and I want him raised according to our traditions. E.J.: And I have made it absolutely clear to you that Johnny is my son. And Samantha and I will raise him as we see fit. Stefano: I do not like the idea that Samantha Brady will be raising a DiMera heir. E.J.: Well, we're not having an argument about this. This is not something we're going to negotiate, okay? Samantha and I are gonna raise our son our way. Stefano: You are making a grave mistake. Dr. Rolf: Stefano, our guest was in the yard. Fortunately, I was able to usher him in before he...left. Stefano: You are supposed to be watching him. Do I need to tell you what will happen if he gets out? [SCENE_BREAK] Roman: I'm gonna find Lucas. Sami: I'll come with you. Roman: No, you won't. Sami: It'll just take me -- Roman: Sami, you stay here. This is official police business. Sami: Dad, it doesn't have to be official. We can keep this in the family. Roman: It's gone beyond that. You stay here. There's a good chance Lucas will contact you. Sami: I'll bring my cellphone. Roman: You stay here. Do you understand that? You're not going. Sami: Please just call me if you find out anything. Roman: I'll do better than that. As soon as I find Lucas, I'll send a car for you. Sami: Don't let him get hurt. Roman: That won't happen. So, you just hang in there. Everything's gonna be fine, okay? Everything will be fine. Sami: Okay. Roman: I love you. Sami: Thanks, Dad. Roman: Hang in there. [Door opens, closes] [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: Hey. Are you okay? Chelsea: Yeah, I'm fine. I just want this whole thing with Ford to be over with. Nick: Well, your mom's on her way. At least she'll be able to get rid of Ford's dad. Chelsea: Yeah. Nick: I'll run outside, and I'll check if she's here. Stephanie: I can't believe I'm actually looking up burial techniques on the internet. Chelsea: You don't really expect us to live with a dead body in the basement, do you? Max: I don't see how you have any choice. Chelsea: Don't you think somebody's gonna find out? Max: No, the floor near the water heater is all dirt, so I can dig a grave there. No one will ever find it. Chelsea: The sisters are gonna know. Cordy is gonna freak out. Max: Don't tell them. It's better they don't know. Just tell them it's been taken care of. Stephanie: There's a movement for natural burials. Max: This is about as natural as it gets. Stephanie: If we're gonna do it, let's just do it. [Screaming] Max: Guys, calm down. It's me. Chelsea: Max, why are you wearing Ford's clothes? Stephanie: Because he has to. Max: The videotape saw him coming in but not going out. Now they will. Chelsea: Who's gonna believe that he spent the night here? Max: Just say that he came over drunk to apologize, and you let him crash on the couch. And then in the morning, he left. Stephanie: Sounds good. But what about you? They won't see you leaving. Max: They won't be looking for me. They'll be looking for Ford. All right? So, how do I look? Stephanie: Filthy and grimy. Max: Yeah, well, trust me, I'm living for a shower right now. All right, here goes. [SCENE_BREAK] Max: Steph, did Ford force himself on you? [Cellphone ringing] Don't get that. Stephanie: It could be work. Hello? Chelsea: Steph. Stephanie: Hey, Chelsea. Chelsea: We have another problem. Stephanie: What's wrong? Chelsea: Ford Decker's dad's here, and he's upstairs looking for his son everywhere -- in all the bedrooms, under the beds, the closets. Stephanie: What if he goes in the basement? Chelsea: Why do you think I'm calling you? Stephanie: What are we gonna do? Chelsea: You and Max need to get over here right away. Stephanie: Won't that look suspicious? Chelsea: I got to go. He's back. [SCENE_BREAK] Crawford: Where's the cellar? Chelsea: Like a wine cellar? We don't have one. Crawford: I'm talking about a basement. You do have a basement, don't you? Chelsea: Yeah, but there's nothing down there except for, like, a water heater. Crawford: I don't care. Where is the basement? Chelsea: Wait a minute. [SCENE_BREAK] Billie: Stop right there. What are you doing here, Mr. Decker? Crawford: I'm sure Professor Fallon told you. I was looking for my son. Billie: Is Ford here? Nick: No. Billie: I'm sorry, Mr. Decker, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave. Crawford: I'm not leaving till I search every room in this building. Billie: You take one more step, and I will have you arrested for trespassing. Crawford: [Scoffs] I don't believe this. Billie: Believe it. Crawford: My son is missing, Miss Reed. Do you have any idea what it feels like not knowing where your child is, hmm? Billie: I do. Yes, I do, and I am very, very sorry for what you and your family are going through. But I cannot allow you to search this building or any other building on this campus without a search warrant. Crawford: You're no better than your daughter. Billie: Excuse me? Crawford: You're protecting Chelsea. Chelsea: That's ridiculous. Crawford: Is it? She's done it before, when she claimed she was driving the car that hit your brother Zack. Billie: I made a mistake. We both did. Crawford: Are you sure you're not making another one? Billie: [Sighs] You are, obviously, going through a very difficult time right now, so I will ignore the offensive comment that you made about me and my daughter. Crawford: How kind of you. Billie: In the meantime, if you would like, we can review your son's case. Crawford: Yes, please do. Billie: As you know, the university installed security cameras along all the dorms shortly after the attacks occurred. I went over the surveillance tapes right outside Theta's dorm the night your son went missing. Crawford: What did you find? Billie: These women are telling the truth. Take a look. [Keyboard clacking] Entered the house at 8:35 P.M. On Thursday evening and left at 9:32 the following morning, just as the women said. Video for the rest of the dorms, including Ford's. Your son isn't on any of those tapes, which means he must have left campus after he left the Theta house. Nick: He seemed sober, which is good, right? Crawford: Yes. If that's Ford. Billie: Oh, what do you mean? Crawford: I can't see Ford's face. Billie: It's clearly -- Crawford: I'm talking about when he left here. We can't see his face. Billie: Mr. Decker, it's obvious. Crawford: It's not obvious to me, Miss Reed. Billie: Look, the same pants, the same jacket, the same ball cap -- that is your son. It's the same on both tapes. Crawford: You bring this in as evidence in a court of law, they'd laugh you right out of the courtroom. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: You can't prove that, that's not Ford. Nick: Chelsea. Crawford: What did you do to my son? Billie: All right, let's take a deep breath here. Crawford: Where's Ford? Billie: It's time for you to leave. Crawford: I'm not leaving here until I know where my son is. Billie: Get out now, or I will have you arrested for trespassing. Crawford: You do that, and I promise, when I'm through with you, you'll be back on the streets. [SCENE_BREAK] Max: Oh, well, this isn't good. Stephanie: What are we gonna do? Max: We can't let Ford's dad see the basement. Stephanie: How can we stop him? Max: Hopefully Chelsea will call Billie. Maybe that will buy us some time. Stephanie: How did things get so screwed up? Max: We'll be fine. We'll get through it. Stephanie: If Ford's dad finds out what really happened, we're all going to prison. Max: Do you really think he's gonna send us to jail if he knows what kind of person his son really was? Stephanie: Yes. Trust me. At the hearing, he acted like Ford was all innocent. With people like the Decker's, it's all about image. It doesn't matter if their son's really a rapist, just as long as no one else knows about it. Max: I don't think it really matters what Ford's father thinks about him right now. Stephanie: It does. Now that Ford's missing and under "suspicious circumstances," he's gonna do anything he can to protect his image. He's gonna make the Theta girls look like psycho women who kill men. Trust me, as soon as he's through with us, we'll all be in jail. Max: So what do you want to do? Stephanie: I don't know. But I think I might come clean with my Uncle Bo. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefano: You cannot go outside. If you do not comply, I will have Dr. Rolf sedate you. The rules are for your own protection because if you show your face, they will hurt you. [Sighs] E.J.: Father, who is this houseguest, and why can't he go outside? Stefano: For your protection, I have to keep my houseguest's identity secret. Now, with regards to Giovanni, I agree with your request to raise your son the way you want. After all, I raised you, and I raised you well. I have no concerns of any decisions that you make regarding your son's welfare. E.J.: Thank you. I'll do a good job. Stefano: Great. That has been decided. Let's have a drink. Dr. Rolf: Um... [Clears throat] Stefano: What is it, Rolf? Dr. Rolf: It's all over the news. A warrant has been issued for Lucas Roberts' arrest. Stefano: For what? Dr. Rolf: Well, they think that Lucas shot Elvis. Stefano: Lucas Roberts shot my son? E.J.: You say the police are looking for him? Dr. Rolf: Yeah, yeah. He fled before they could arrest him. E.J.: He's on his own? Dr. Rolf: I'm sorry. I do not know. Stefano: For your wife's sake, I hope she's not stupid enough to have taken off with my grandson. E.J.: No, no, no. She wouldn't do that. Stefano: Are you sure? E.J.: Excuse me. Stefano: Unh-unh-unh-unh-unh. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: You need to apologize to Billie for that comment. Crawford: I'm not apologizing for anything. Chelsea: Jeez, now I know why Ford turned out the way he did. Nick: I mean it. Billie: Nick, it's okay. Thank you. I don't want anything from Mr. Decker. And as far as the campus police are concerned -- Crawford: Campus police? What a joke. Same could be said of the Salem Police Department, for that matter. It's obvious you're all in on this cover-up. Billie: What? What cover-up? What the hell do you think happened here?! Crawford: I believe my son came here that night to make amends, but your daughter and her friends decided to get back at him instead. Billie: Oh, you are so wrong. Crawford: Ford turned up missing after visiting this house. Billie: You saw the video. Crawford: Cameras lie, Miss Reed... just like people do. Chelsea: You can't go down there. Crawford: Why not? Chelsea: Because you need a search warrant. Billie: She's right. This is the last time I am going to ask you to leave. Crawford: I will be back. And God help you if you've hurt my son. [SCENE_BREAK] [Knock on door] E.J.: Samantha? Sami: Yes, E.J. E.J.: Oh, thank God you're here. Sami: Well, it's really nice to see you walking. E.J.: I thought you disappeared with Lucas and Johnny. Sami: You're not even gonna fake the paralysis anymore? Where's your wheelchair? E.J.: It's a miracle. Sami: Save it. Just stop. E.J.: All right, you got me. I made a promise that I wasn't gonna lie anymore, so I'm not. Sami: [Scoffs] E.J.: I may have been playing it up, but I wasn't making it up. Talk to my doctors. Your ex-husband shot me. Sami: He didn't do it. Based on how successful you were at faking your paralysis, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that you and your father set him up. [SCENE_BREAK] E.J.: For God's sake, Samantha, you were with me when I got shot. I hardly think my father would do that to me. Do you? Sami: Yes, I do. I can tell you one thing. Lucas is not the one who shot you. E.J.: Of course he is, Samantha. That's why he's run out of town. Sami: I'm not having this discussion with you. E.J.: Okay. Have this conversation with Lucas. Will you do that? Sami: Yes. When I find him, I will. E.J.: Then let me help you find him. Sami: Are you serious? You think I'm gonna accept help from you so that you can turn him into the police, sic your father on him? E.J.: I don't think you have many other options. But I give you my word. I won't turn him into the police. Sami: In exchange for what? What, you want to have sex with me again? Is that it? E.J.: No. There's nothing that I -- maybe there is something I want from you. Sami: This better be good. E.J.: I would like you very much to forgive me. Sami: [Scoffs] Oh, is that all? E.J.: No. No, that's not all. I would also like you to let our son form his own opinion about me. Samantha, Johnny is the only person in the world that has ever loved me unconditionally. I mean, I've never really been loved by anybody. That means a lot to me. And it's really important that we give him the chance to be raised by his real father, and you give me the chance to prove to him that I'm really worthy of his love. [SCENE_BREAK] Billie: Things are gonna get a lot worse with Ford's dad before they get better. Nick: I know. Billie: You okay? Chelsea: [Crying] No. He's just a really horrible guy. Billie: I know. I know, honey, but things will blow over once Ford returns home. Chelsea: What if he doesn't? Billie: Chelsea, is there anything more that you want to tell me about that night, off the record? Chelsea: No, I told you everything. Billie: You sure? Chelsea: Yeah, Mom, I'm sure. What are we gonna do when he comes back with the search warrant? Billie: Who cares? Let him tear the place apart. He's not gonna find anything. Chelsea: I know. I just -- I just really don't like the idea of him going through all my stuff. And I know the other girls aren't gonna like it, either. Billie: Unfortunately, that can't be helped. Nick: Look, he's probably coming back soon. What do you say we get out of the house, get something to eat? Billie: That's a good idea. I don't think you two should be here when Decker returns. Chelsea: I guess we could leave for a while. Sure. Billie: Yeah, go out. Have some fun. Forget about Ford's dad. Chelsea: I'll try. Billie: Make sure she has some fun. Nick: I will. Billie: I'll be in my office if you need anything. Chelsea: Okay. Billie: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: [Inhales deeply] [Sighs] What do you say we get dressed, get out of here? I'm starving. Chelsea: You know what? I was thinking, since you made me hot chocolate this morning, I should make you breakfast. It's only fair. Nick: That sounds wonderful. But I thought the whole point was that we got out of the house. [Cellphone ringing] Oh, you know what? I have to take this. It's a student who's nervous about her final grade. Chelsea: Okay. [Cellphone ringing] Stephanie: Hey, what happened? Chelsea: He left, but he's coming back with a search warrant. Stephanie: What are we gonna do? Chelsea: I need you and Max to get over here right away. We have to move the body. [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Rolf: Stefano! Stefano! I have looked everywhere! He is gone! [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: So, let me get this straight. You are gonna help me find Lucas if I promise not to tell Johnny who you really are, what you're really capable of. E.J.: No. I'll help you find Lucas regardless, Samantha. Sami: E.J., I just don't know that I can trust where this is coming from. E.J.: I've done some thinking. I want to be a good father to Johnny. I think that I can be. But if he sees me through your eyes, I don't have a chance. Sami: Well, then maybe you should make more of an effort to change the way I see you. E.J.: Samantha, I'm sorry, and I'm trying. Now, look, is it true that Kate and Lucas were together when he left? Sami: I don't know. That's what the police think. That's what my dad said. Now the state and the local police are out there looking for them. E.J.: Okay. If they find them, are they going to arrest them? Sami: Yep. E.J.: Okay. [Dialing] We'll just have to make sure we find them first, don't we? Come on. I'm trying, all right? Try with me, please? [SCENE_BREAK] Stephanie: You want to move the body? Chelsea: We have to, or else his dad is gonna find it. Stephanie: Where are we gonna put it? Chelsea: I don't know, Stephanie. Just get over here so we can figure it out. Stephanie: Chelsea wants us to dig up and move the body. Max: I know. I heard. Is Ford's dad still there? Stephanie: No, but he'll be back soon. He's getting a search warrant. This is one big mess. Max: I know things seem bad right now, but we'll get through it, okay? Stephanie: What are we doing? Let's get over there before Ford's dad gets there. Max: Yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Sami: If you do anything that hurts my children, you will live to regret it. [SCENE_BREAK] Kate: How the hell are you going to protect your son when you're lying in a jail cell with a knife in your back? [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Rolf: It seems our houseguest could be very dangerous. Stefano: I'm counting on it, Rolf. I am counting on it.
