An agent from Interpol tells Brenda that the Balkan, the head of a crime syndicate, wants her dead. Brenda isn't worried about the death threats. Agent Bates asks Brenda what her connection is to the Balkan. Suzanne returns to Brenda's room and relays that she spoke to Agent Bates earlier in the day. Suzanne wishes that Brenda was more cautious. Suzanne suggests that Brenda head to London to be with Murphy but she's against the idea. A fire starts in the cabin where Jason, Sam and Lucky are hiding out. Lucky leaves through the front door while Sam and Jason escape through the back. Sam and Jason make it outside but her sprained ankle is getting worse. Gunfire erupts around the cabin. Jason decides to create a diversion. They all manage to get to safety. Jason thanks Lucky for helping. Lucky maintains that Jason and Sam don't need to worry about the police. Sonny is escorted into his arraignment. Sonny glares at Claire from across the courtroom. Diane fears that Sonny's bail will be denied. Dante shows up in support of Sonny. At the arraignment, Sonny pleads not guilty. Diane argues that Claire compromised herself when she made the tape recordings. Dante is called to the stand. During his testimony, Dante sticks up for Sonny. Dante says that Sonny wanted a truce with Johnny Zacchara. On the stand, Dante insists that Sonny won't jump bail. To the dismay of Claire, the judge sets bail at three-million dollars. Claire is irritated by the ruling. Sonny thanks Dante for defending him during his testimony. Afterwards, Claire speaks to Dante about Sonny. Dante senses that Claire is falling for Sonny. Carly receives a call from Sonny, who's already sitting aboard his jet. Sonny is reminiscing about Brenda. Dante shows up at Sonny's house where Diane is waiting. Dante realizes that Sonny left the country. Dante makes a call about getting an APB out on Sonny Corinthos. Sonny is mad to find out that his plane is headed for Colombia. Sonny tells the pilot to head for Italy instead. Carly admits to Lulu that she paid Brook Lynn to flirt with Dante. Carly justifies her actions by saying she was trying to protect Lulu. Carly makes Brook Lynn look like the villain. Brook Lynn pleads her case but Lulu doesn't believe her. Carly tells Brook Lynn that she's done paying for her expenses. After Brook Lynn leaves, Carly apologizes for her behavior. Lulu relays to Carly that Sonny is being arraigned for shooting Johnny. When Dante returns home, Lulu seems preoccupied. Dante tells Lulu that Sonny jumped bail. Dante feels like a fool. Diane meets with Carly to give her a letter from Sonny. Diane wonders why Carly needs to get in touch with Sonny. Mac argues with Patrick and Robin about Lisa. Robin claims that Lisa deliberately ran in front of her car. Mac points out that there's no evidence of Lisa's culpability. Mac urges Robin to let it go but she refuses to have the incident listed as an accident. Matt visits Lisa in her hospital room. Lisa doesn't regret sleeping with Patrick. Matt can't believe that Lisa would accuse Robin of having psychological problems. Robin confronts Lisa about what happened. Both accuse each other of being psychotic. Matt and Patrick have a short talk about Lisa's frame-of-mind. Matt isn't convinced of Lisa's guilt. Patrick is annoyed that Matt would trust Lisa's version over Robin's. Patrick grabs Robin and pulls her out of Lisa's room. Patrick tells Robin that he's scared of what Lisa might do next.
Brook Lynn: I was in Bensonhurst. I was minding my own business, and Carly showed up. She started talking about Dante. And she knew that I had gotten myself into quite a bit of financial trouble. My parents had cut me off. So she offered to bail me out. She gave me a place to live. She gave me a job at the Metro Court. And all she asked me to do was to come to town and sleep with Dante and break you guys up. Lulu: Why are you telling me this now? Brook Lynn: Because I realized I couldn't do it. That's why. Dante's been my friend for a long time. You have done nothing to hurt me, and I feel really-- Lulu: What is this?! She's lying, right? Carly: She's telling the truth. Lulu: Why would you do this? Carly: Because I love you. [SCENE_BREAK] [Crickets chirping] [Man grunting] [SCENE_BREAK] [Knock on door] Brenda: Who is it? Man: Brenda Barrett? Agent Derrick Bates. Brenda: Hi. What can I do for Interpol? Agent Bates: I'm here regarding the attack on you backstage at the awards ceremony. Brenda: Oh. I've already told the police everything I know about that. Agent Bates: Ms. Barrett, I'm afraid the situation's a bit more dire than you realize. We have reason to believe that you have become the target of a very dangerous individual. [SCENE_BREAK] [Sonny sighs] Diane: Sit down. Sonny: Okay, you tell me how Claire made this happen so quick, and at night. Diane: The federal prosecutor is stacking the deck in her favor. A speedy arraignment gives us less time to prepare and does not allow for any new developments, like John Zacchara waking up to corroborate your story. Sonny: Johnny would lie anyway, so it doesn't-- Diane: As to the lateness of the hour, they've got her a judge with a reputation for favoring the prosecution. Sonny: This guy can't be any worse than Judge Carroll. Diane: This guy is the Honorable Alicia Hamad. And don't even think about using the dimples. I have absolutely no confidence anymore in your ability to charm the opposite sex in or out of the court. Sonny: Are you serious? Diane? Are you seriously telling me they're going to deny me bail? Diane: The feds know you want to run. Why would they give you the opportunity? [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: We can stay in the cabin. If they keep shooting at us, it's only going to be a matter of time before the local cops show up. [Explosion] Sam: That fire's picking up fast! Lucky: This place might as well have been made of kindling. We don't have much time. Sam: If we make a run for it, we're going to get shot. [SCENE_BREAK] Mac: Robin, Lisa has already accused me of being biased, which I am. So any action I take has to be supported by the evidence. I know, I know Lisa hurt you. Robin: And she's threatened my family. Mac: Unfortunately, what's on record are the threats that you made in public. You hit Lisa Niles with your car. Robin: She stepped out in front of me! Mac: I have no doubt that what you're telling me is the truth. But there are no facts or witnesses to back you up. Couple that with the vandalism of the locker, I mean-- Patrick: Mac, she broke into our house. Twice. She stole Robin's HIV medications. She kidnapped our daughter. Mac: And you have no proof of any of that. Robin, you never bothered to notify me. As a cop or as family. [Robin sighs] Mac: Lisa has been very careful to document all the crimes committed against her. Robin: I know, so she could set me up. She's trying to act like I'm the one who's crazy, because I'm jealous that she slept with my husband. Mac: You need to let me protect you. Robin: How? Mac: You hit Lisa with your car; I'm going to write that off as an accident. Robin: But it wasn't. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: You lied to me. You swore to me that you forgave me for standing by Dante! Carly: I did. Lulu: Then you still blame him for Michael going to prison? Carly: No, I blame myself. I blame Sonny. We're his parents. I was wrong to take my guilt and anger out on you. Brook Lynn: Yeah, okay, here comes-- Lulu: Shut up! Why are you still here? Brook Lynn: Because I'm not going to let her make me out to be the villain in this story! Lulu: You were paid to sleep with someone. What do you think that makes you? You still haven't answered my question! Why would you do this to me? Carly: Because I was afraid for you when I found out Dante was Sonny's son. Lulu: Dante is nothing like Sonny! Carly: Are you sure about that? Did you see him walk in the courtroom and give up Michael? Why, because he knew better. That's not love, it's arrogance. Sound like anyone else you know? Sonny has broke my heart over and over again. I wasn't going to sit there and watch that happen to you. Lulu: So you were going to force the issue by trying to get Dante to sleep with her? Brook Lynn: Yeah, that's right. Lulu: Why wouldn't you just come to me? Why won't you-- Carly: I tried coming to you, I tried talking to you, but you wouldn't listen! I thought if I could show you who Dante really was, I would save you the pain that I felt from his father. Brook Lynn: Oh, my God, Carly, will you shut up?! You told me to do whatever I had to do to break them up! Carly: That was you, that was you doing all that. Lulu: Both of you leave, now. Carly: This is going to sound crazy, okay, but when Michael went to prison and then Jason, I felt the need to protect all the other people that I love, and, yes, after everything you and I have been through, I love you very much, Lulu. So I went to Brook and I hired her to go after Dante, because I just wanted you to see the truth about him before you threw your whole heart away. I was wrong. God, I was wrong. Dante loves you. And he's nothing like Sonny, and I am so, so sorry. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: What are you doing here? Dante: I told you I believe you. I want to see this through. Diane: If you're planning another soliloquy on justice, or you're going to race down the aisle with an earth-shattering revelation, I would appreciate a head's up. Dante: I will be on my best behavior. Scout's honor. Bailiff: All rise. The Honorable Judge Alicia Ahmed presiding. Judge Ahmed: I hear the matter of the People vs. Michael Corinthos Jr. The charge is attempted murder. How does the defendant plead? Sonny: Not guilty, Your Honor. Judge Ahmed: The defendant's plea of not guilty is so entered. I have a petition for bail. Ms. Miller? Diane: Your Honor, the defendant is a business man and father with both professional and personal ties to the community. He is eager to answer these charges and clear his good name. Judge Ahmed: Ms. Walsh? Claire: Sonny Corinthos is a major player in organized crime. Diane: Alleged! Judge Ahmed: You had your turn, Ms. Miller. Claire: The people will prove Mr. Corinthos walked up to an unarmed man in a public street and shot him with malice of forethought. That is arrogance and lawlessness of the most flagrant kind. Mr. Corinthos regards the law as a minor inconvenience. He'll break it at will. And he will not hesitate to flea this court's jurisdiction. His substantial illegally gained assets and the damning evidence in this case against him makes his flight not a risk, but a certainty. We respectfully request the court deny bail and remand the defendant to Pentonville for the duration of his trial. Diane: Your Honor, with all due respect, Ms. Walsh's tirade has nothing to do with jurisprudence. It is entirely personal. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. [SCENE_BREAK] Agent Bates: Ms. Barrett, I understand there have been death threats, even attempts on your life prior to this incident. Brenda: Yes, well, the people who exploit children don't like the publicity that ASEC generates, so, yes. Agent Bates: A major exporter of precious stones declared bankruptcy after you brought to light their selling of conflict diamonds. Brenda: Good, they deserved worse. Agent Bates: You understand you're a threat, but you underestimate the backlash. Some very well-funded but ruthless people want to silence you. Brenda: I... I'm not scared. Agent Bates: You should be scared, Ms. Barrett. You're the reason some very dangerous people are losing a great deal of money. I'm afraid this latest incident was not just the work of some random psychopath. Have you ever heard of a crime figure known as the Balkan? [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Okay, hey, the smoke is going to give us cover. I'm going to head out the door. Keep the front door out of the fire, you two go out the back. Sam: On the sore side! Lucky: I know, I like it, but one small change. I'm going out the front, you go out the back. Jason: Lucky, don't-- Lucky: Jason, listen to me, just stay with her. I got this, okay? Sam: Oh, come on, there's gotta be a better way. Lucky: There probably is, but we don't have time. Okay. [Gunshots] Jason: You okay? Sam: Yeah. Jason, look at me. [SCENE_BREAK] Lisa: Thanks for visiting me. Ow. Matt: Well, to be honest with you, I was thinking twice about it. Lisa: I thought we were friends. Matt: The lines are being drawn in this thing between you and Patrick and Robin. Lisa: Well, not Patrick. I mean, he's stuck in the middle. Robin is the one who's unspooling. Matt: Robin is my sister-in-law. Lisa: Okay. I understand your loyalties, and I respect them. I totally admit to taking a play at Patrick. And we both just gave into our histories and our mutual attraction. Matt: Really? That's funny, 'cause you don't sound very sorry. Lisa: About sleeping with Patrick? Well, I'm not. You know, I mean, he's pretty conflicted over it, too. What I am sorry about is how it happened, and that Robin got hurt. Matt: Okay, why did you want to see me? What is this about? Lisa: Well, I'm worried about how Patrick's dealing with Robin. I mean, she's completely flipped out. Matt: You don't honestly believe that Robin intentionally tried to run you down, do you? Lisa: Okay, I was standing in plain sight on a well lit street. And she saw me. She aimed her car at me on purpose. Matt: No. You cannot be serious. Lisa: Okay, all right. Then what is more likely-- that she ran me down, or that I threw myself in front of a moving vehicle to make Robin look bad. Okay, we're talking about history. You know, Patrick and mine. But what about Robin's? Matt: What? Really? You're gonna go there, you're gonna talk about Robin's postpartum depression? Lisa: What if her irrational behavior goes beyond just anger and jealousy? What if it's a psychiatric one? I'm convinced that she's very quickly becoming a threat to herself, and to others. [SCENE_BREAK] Robin: No, I will not let this go on record as an accident. Lisa deliberately threw herself in front of my car. I mean, honestly, how many pedestrians do you know that get hit by a car and walk away with barely a scratch? Mac: It's rare, but it does happen. Robin: Lisa must have saw me slowing down to pick up Patrick, and she just stepped right in front of the car. Mac: You do realize how crazy that sounds? Robin: Of course it sounds crazy, because the person we're dealing with is crazy. Mac: Okay, look, you don't have to work to convince me. I'm on your side here. But you said you wanted the problems in your marriage to stay private. If you drag this out, Lisa is going to hang your dirty laundry out for everyone to see. Robin: No, I cannot let her get away with this. Mac: If I keep this case open, it could be a legal nightmare for you. Robin: So you want me to lie? Mac: I just want you to let me make this go away. Robin: I can't let that bitch so easily off the hook. I can't do it. Mac: Okay, okay, I will--I'll keep the investigation open, against my better judgment, and hope that it validates your story. Woman on P.A.: Nurse Spencer to ICU, Nurse Bobbie Spencer to ICU. Patrick: I'm so sorry. And this is all my fault. Robin: Right now I just hate you, and I hate everything that's happening. [SCENE_BREAK] Brenda: The Balkan? I've never heard of him. Agent Bates: Unfortunately, he knows of you. The Balkan is the head of an international crime syndicate. We don't know his true name. We don't even know what he looks like. But we are beginning to understand his methods. The man who tried to attack you at the press conference was hired by the Balkan. Brenda: The man who tried to slash my face? Agent Bates: There's a clear line between this man and the Balkan. What we're trying to understand is the connection between the Balkan and you. Can you think of any reason why this man who you've never heard of would target you? [SCENE_BREAK] Diane: Ms. Walsh has pursued an inappropriate relationship with my client. Judge Ahmed: How so? Diane: On more than one occasion, she has made romantic overtures, which Mr. Corinthos has rejected. She's become vindictive, and that alone is the sole basis for this malicious prosecution. Judge Ahmed: Ms. Walsh? Claire: Any contact I had with Mr. Corinthos was at his invitation, and for the sole purpose of obtaining evidence against him. I never made any attempt to hide that intent. Once our conversations are heard, any of the recordings, you will see that-- Diane: A man telling a woman what she wants to hear could never and should never be construed as anything even resembling the truth. That is pillow talk heresy. Judge Ahmed: The argument as to the admissibility of these recordings can be revisited at trial. However, Ms. Miller, you have done little to convince me that if I do grant bail, your client will stay around to be tried. Diane: And I should like to call Detective Falconeri to the stand. Claire: I object. Diane: This is the detective who has been assigned to investigate the shooting of John Zacchara. He can also speak as to my client's character. And character witnesses are often called during bail hearings. Even those that are rushed through to railroad a defendant. Judge Ahmed: Your theatrics are not appreciated, Ms. Miller. Keep them up and I will fine you for contempt. Diane: Apologies, Your Honor. Judge Ahmed: I'll allow the witness. Detective Falconeri, you may take the stand. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: It sounds like they stopped shooting for now. Jason: How's your ankle? Sam: Oh, Jason, it hurts, but if I have to make a run for it, I will. A broken ankle's better than getting shot. Lucky: Hey, hey. Jason: Are you okay? Lucky: Yeah, it was crazy. I think I got a couple of them. Sam: What's next? Lucky: The way that cabin's burning, we'll get shot at. We got to get the hell out of here, fast. [Gunshots] [SCENE_BREAK] Brook Lynn: Look, Carly is twisting everything around. Carly: Lulu knows how much I love her. Brook Lynn: No, Lulu, think. Just think, just for one second, okay? Carly is not the type to just turn a cheek! Her son went to prison. He went to prison. She's going to try and get you back no matter what! Lulu: You told me that you had no interest in Dante, and then you tried to have sex with him on my couch. Your credibility is zero. Brook Lynn: It doesn't matter. I'm trying to tell you. Look, your cousin is trying to screw you over. She's trying to throw me under a bus because she's a vengeful bitch. But I'm trying to warn you before she leaves tire marks all up and down your back. Please just listen to me. Carly: Wow. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that I would use someone like Brook Lynn to try and get you to see things my way. I'm really sorry. Brook Lynn: Someone like Brook Lynn? Carly: I asked you to help me protect someone I love. You used that trust and you tried to blackmail me. And you tried to turn my cousin against me. Get out. Brook Lynn: No, you guys deserve each other. Carly: Get out. And I don't mean from this apartment. Get out of the loft and get out of the Metro Court. Tuck your tail between your legs and go back to Edward. Or the pretzel vendor. You come near Lulu again, and I'll show you what a vengeful bitch I can be. Get out! [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: There's been years of violence and animosity between John Zacchara and Sonny Corinthos, but I do believe that that was all about to change. Diane: Did my client tell you that he wanted to make peace? Dante: He did. Diane: And did you believe him? Dante: Yes. I do not believe that Mr. Corinthos is a flight risk. He is devoted to his children, and I don't think he'd ever leave them. He has convinced me, at least, of his innocence, and just that he wants the truth to come out. Diane: Thank you. Claire: Detective Falconeri, what is your relationship to the defendant? Dante: Uh, well, he's my father, but-- Claire: No further questions. [SCENE_BREAK] Brenda: I do appreciate your concern. Thank you. Agent Bates: Ms. Barrett, the Balkan is not one to be trifled with. Brenda: I have no idea why someone would come after me, unless they're involved in some sort of exploitation of children. Agent Bates: Will you contact me if any link comes to mind? If you notice anything suspicious? Brenda: Cartullo's put me up at this hotel. I'll be safe. Agent Bates: One hopes. Brenda: Well, I'm sure that you will go and find the Balkan. Agent Bates: Good evening, Ms. Barrett. Brenda: Good evening. [SCENE_BREAK] Judge Ahmed: After carefully weighing the evidence presented and giving appropriate consideration to the testimony of Detective Falconeri, I'm setting bail for the defendant at $3 million. Claire: I object! Judge Ahmed: I've already ruled, Ms. Walsh. Bail is set at $3 million. Claire: You know what, when we get to trial, it won't matter what Detective Falconeri said. 'Cause when the jury hears those recordings, Sonny's own words will put him away for life. [Diane chuckles] Sonny: Thanks for standing up for me. Dante: Well, Michael told me you don't lie to your kids. I'm banking on that. Sonny: Well... Claire: Free again. Sonny: Bet you hate that. Claire: I should, shouldn't I? Sonny: You don't feel anything right now? A little bit? Nothing? Claire: Does it matter? Sonny: Not anymore. Claire: I don't trust myself when it comes to you. Sonny: When you finally do, you know where to find me. [SCENE_BREAK] [Gunshots] Jason: We're too exposed out here. Lucky: Yeah, I'm going to make a run for it. [Gunshots] Jason: Okay, we gotta make a move right now! Sam: What's going on? Lucky: Nothing here around to flank us. Sam: So we're going to be surrounded? Lucky: I'm going to draw their fire, you guys head for the trees over there. Jason: No, I'm gonna go. [SCENE_BREAK] Robin: For someone who took great care to get hit by a car, you're sure making a remarkable recovery. Lisa: Really? 'Cause I'm actually in a lot of pain. Robin: I'd give you something for that, but I don't really feel sorry for you. Lisa: Uh-huh. Well, you shouldn't be in here. Robin: Funny you're not reaching for your call button. So I guess it's not a stretch to say that you're actually enjoying this. Lisa: You need help. All right, from one doctor to another, you are not yourself. Robin: I will not play this game with you. You are the psychopath that threw yourself in front of my car. Just to get a reaction from my husband. And you know what, you know what he thinks of you? He thinks you are sick and twisted. And he and I will make sure everyone knows it. [SCENE_BREAK] Matt: I just saw Lisa. Patrick: Yeah, what lies is she telling you? Matt: Are you sure that she's lying? Patrick: Are you kidding me? Matt, she broke into my house and she kidnapped my daughter. She's delusional. Go talk to her another 5 minutes, and you'll see what I'm talking about. Matt: Okay, if that's true, she did a pretty good job of hiding it. Look, better than some other people. Patrick: And what the hell is that supposed to mean? Matt: I could see how you would want to make Lisa the bad guy here, that she's had some sort of evil plan to seduce you away from Robin. Patrick: Sleeping with Lisa was a mistake, but it doesn't give her the right to terrorize my family. Matt: When Robin's locker was trashed, who found it? Patrick: Robin. Matt: Did anyone see Lisa there? Patrick: No. Matt: And tonight, when Lisa supposedly ran in front of-- Patrick: I was standing right there. Matt: And you saw Lisa run out-- Patrick: I saw her roll off the hood. What? What?! Matt: Maybe the person who is losing their mind here is not Lisa! Maybe it's Robin. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Do you want to get this over with? You know, the part where you tell me I've got a conflict of interest and I'm going to bat for my gangster father, and you're going to have my badge because of it. Claire: Did you testify truthfully, to the best of your knowledge? Dante: I did. Claire: Then we have nothing more to say to each other. Dante: At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I want Sonny to pay for this life of crime just as much as you do. But I'm not going to stand by and watch while a guy gets put away for something he's not guilty of doing. Claire: Sonny shot John Zacchara exactly the way he said he was going to. Dante: Yeah, in self defense. Claire: Yes. Sonny said that, too, it's in the recordings. Dante: He's telling the truth. Claire: You know, when I was working Sonny to get those recordings, a long line of people told me that he would make a fool out of me, and that I'd be just another on a list of broken hearted cops and lawyers who play this game with him and compromise their values and...they end up getting sucked in. I mean, a lot of people trust Sonny and it cost them dearly. So you might want to take those warnings to heart, Detective. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I only hope you can understand why I did what I did. Lulu: You picked a bad way to try and protect me. There's not much more to say. Carly: Ohh. Is Michael doing okay? Lulu: Yeah. This whole Sonny thing is hard on him. Carly: What Sonny thing? Lulu: Sonny's been arrested for shooting Johnny Zacchara. Carly: What?! Is Johnny okay? Lulu: No, Johnny's still in critical condition. Carly: What the hell is Sonny doing? So now his kids have to watch him go through another trial? That's just great. [Cell phone rings] Carly: Speak of the devil. Lulu: Maybe you should answer that. Carly: He'll call back. I explained to you why I did what I did. I can just only hope that you can somehow forgive me. [Cell phone rings] Carly: I was right. Where are you, Sonny? Did you make bail? Sonny: Diane is going to be bringing you something from me. Where should she meet you? [SCENE_BREAK] Lisa: I should call for a nurse or security. Okay, your delusions of paranoia are a clear sign that you are on the verge of a psychotic break. Robin: We both know who the psycho is. You know, you messed up when you took our daughter. Now even Patrick knows that you're dangerous. Lisa: Okay, I have tried being professional and understanding, but honestly, Robin, if you don't get help, Patrick and Emma will be better off without you in their lives. Robin: That will never happen, you sick bitch! Patrick: Hey, hey, hey, come on. Robin: You stay away from my family. Lisa: You should get your wife some help, Dr. Drake, before she ends up in a straightjacket. Patrick: We can't do that. We can't just give her fuel like that. Robin: I know. I know I shouldn't let her get to me like that. Patrick: She is good at pushing buttons, okay, so promise me you'll just stay away from her. Robin: And why should I do that? Patrick: Because I'm scared of what she's going to do to our family. [SCENE_BREAK] [Crickets chirping] [SCENE_BREAK] [Knock on door] Brenda: Who is it? Suzanne: Open the door, Brenda. Brenda: Hey. Suzanne: What did I tell you about opening the door to strangers? Brenda: Well, you're strange, but you're certainly not a stranger. Suzanne: I could have been anyone. Brenda: I recognized your voice. What's wrong with you? Suzanne: Well, I just came from a chat with an Agent Bates at Interpol. Brenda: Oh, yeah, I spoke with him, too. I think he's a little overdramatic. Suzanne: When people tell me your life is in danger, I listen. Brenda: I'm fine. Suzanne: No. You're going to be dead if you don't start paying attention. [SCENE_BREAK] Brenda: Why can't you let somebody in, Sonny? Sonny: A little too late for that. Brenda: Didn't you learn anything from Stone? It's never too late for anything, not as long as your heart's still beating. Sonny: What heart? Brenda: Yeah. I want to ask you something. Do you remember, right before things got really awful between us and I asked you go away with me, I asked you to leave Port Charles with me and you said that you couldn't? Sonny: That's right. Brenda: Well, I know that you couldn't then, but maybe you can now, Sonny... I'm not suggesting that I go with you, okay? I'm not that delusional anymore. I've let it go. But maybe you could go, so this thing doesn't crash around your head. Sonny: You don't understand. That would make me feel like I was running away. Brenda: No, it's survival, Sonny. Don't you understand? I want you to protect yourself. Sonny: Well, that's why I keep 3 high-priced lawyers on my retainer. Brenda: Well, 3 high-priced lawyers, that's great. Can they beat the charges? Sonny: I don't know. Brenda: I'm so afraid for you. Do you know... Do you know that more than anything... all I really want is for you to be okay. That's all I want. Sonny: Mmm. [Both moaning] [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: I wanted to go over the shooting with Sonny one more time. It's the details that make all the difference. Is he around? Diane: No, he's not. Sonny posted his bail; he doesn't have to report in. Dante: You don't like his chances to beat this. Neither does he. So he's gone. Diane: As an attorney, I would never advise my client to jump bail. Dante: How does that go, fool me once, shame on you... it was right here in this living room where Sonny shot me. Staring him right in the eye. I didn't think he could pull that trigger and he did. Here I am, taking another one in the gut. Shame on me. Yeah, this is Detective Falconeri. We need an APB on Sonny Corinthos. It appears he has violated the terms of his release and fled the country. [SCENE_BREAK] [Gunshots] Lucky: Let me do this! Jason: You already ran out there once. It's my turn. Just be careful. Sam: Me?! [Gunshots] Jason: Thanks for your help. Jason: Lucky, it's clear. Sam: Jason, are you okay? Jason: Yeah, I'm okay. It's okay, I got you. Lucky: Nice work. It looks like the end of trouble from Santos Lopez. Jason: Thanks for your help. Lucky: Yeah. Oh, now the cops show up. Sam: We don't even know what the hell [Indistinct] And fire. How do we keep Jason from going back to jail? Lucky: Just let me do the talking. [Sirens] [Door opens] [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Mmm. You have no idea how much I needed that. Lulu: Me, too. Dante: Oh, well, you first. Lulu: Just Carly being Carly. I'll tell you later. Did something happen with Sonny's case? Dante: Oh, yeah, I stood up for Sonny in open court. Told the judge that Sonny was not a flight risk. That he was going to stay in town because he was devoted to his kids and wanted to clear his name. Lulu: And? Dante: Oh, as soon as Sonny cleared bail, he skipped town. So much for the promises of innocence and wanting me to find out the truth. Those were all lies, apparently, and now Sonny's gone and I'm the one that let him go. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Sonny said you had something for me. Diane: He asked me to give you this. Carly: So he made bail and he left the country, didn't he? Diane: I'm sorry, I can't comment. Carly: I don't really have to read this, do I? Sonny has the best intentions. He's probably asking me to tell Michael and Morgan everything. I just really need to know how to get in touch with him. Diane: And I really wish I could help you. Carly: But you're not going to answer any of my questions, are you? Diane: All right, let me ask you a question. Why do you care so much? Hmm? You made it abundantly clear after the debacle of Sonny's last trial, which, of course, landed Michael in prison, that you are done jumping through hoops for this man. So wherever Sonny has gone, why don't you just let him go? [SCENE_BREAK] Suzanne: That Interpol agent didn't mince words. The Balkan is a real threat. He wants you dead. Brenda: Well, he doesn't have a real name. Or a face. So how am I supposed to hide from him? Suzanne: Look... let's forget for a moment that I care about you as a human being. Your work for ASEC has helped immeasurably. Millions of children. Brenda: So let me just continue to do that. Suzanne: Well, you can't do it from a slab in the morgue. [Sighs] I want you to consider staying with Murphy in London for a while. At least there, nobody's tried to shoot you or slash your face. Brenda: I'm not going to run again. For anyone. You wanted me in Rome, so I am going to stay here. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: When do you think we're going to land? Pilot: We should be touching down in St. Sebastian-- Sonny: Colombia? Pilot: Yes, sir. Sonny: Uh-uh. We're going to Italy. Pilot: Mr. Abrams said to fly-- Sonny: I don't care what Mr. Abrams said, 'cause I pay your salary, he doesn't. You're taking me to Rome. There's someone I need to see.
