Rafe has a gun on Jeffrey and shoots him. Rescue comes to Jeffrey, while Rafe goes to the stairwell. Daisy is getting ready for graduation. Family and friends come to celebrate with her. Harley gets a phone call from Rafe as she is celebrating Daisy's day. He tells her about Jeffrey. Harley looks in the boxes and realizes Gus' gun is gone. Daisy goes to Rafe to tell him it was all an accident. Rafe says he has to go. Mallet tells Natalia about Jeffrey. Harley and Cyrus find Rafe and Daisy. Daisy tells Harley that Rafe didn't mean for the gun to go off. Harley tells Rafe she'll protect him because of his father. After a bit Harley secretly gets Rafe out of the house with Cyrus' help. She finds Natalia and tells her son he is a good boy and behind him. Harley feels responsible. Had she not opened the investigation, none of this would have happened. Daisy also feels responsible till she talks to Coop, who tells her it wasn't her fault. As Harley packs at home, Frank interrupts and tells her that Rafe is a Cooper now and he will do anything to protect him. After Frank goes to look for Rafe, Harley calls friends. Cyrus goes to see Natalia and Rafe and tells him to hang in there. After Cyrus leaves, Natalia and Rafe talk about his trouble. She tells him she will never give up on him. When Natalia goes to get him something to eat, Rafe zippers up his knapsack and takes off. Harley tells her father that within the hour she will be meeting up with Rafe. Coop, Daisy and Cyrus are together wondering what is next. When Natalia realizes Rafe is gone, she finds a note he left taped to the bathroom mirror and begins to worry. Harley wants Cyrus to take care of Daisy while she is helping Rafe. She then wants to know where her boys are. Cyrus tells her they are with Frank at the park. She finds them there later. Daisy is alone and crying until Cyrus catches her. She cries on his shoulder. Rafe and Harley meet up, along with Buzz. He offers to help. Buzz hugs Rafe. Harley tells Rafe she will keep everyone distracted so he can make his get- away. After Rafe leaves, Harley looks out the window to see Coop, Frank, Buzz, and Cyrus enjoying Daisy showing off her graduation attire.
[PREVIOUSLY_ON] Mallet: I didn't want to have to tell you this. I didn't want to hurt you like this. Harley: Then why are you? Mallet: The files that I was shredding? That was me trying to disconnect Gus from all this. Harley: Where did you get that? Mallet: Gus. There is an investigation going on for corruption. Rafe: Does anybody else know about this? Mallet: Well, the D.A. kind of knows what's going on. Rafe: I will not let you do that to my dad. [SCENE_BREAK] La la la la da da da Harley: Look at you. (Crying) Daisy: No crying! Harley: Turn around so I can get the full effect, please? Oh, my gosh! I'm so proud of you. Daisy: Not always. Harley: Well, I don't always like your choices. Daisy: You either. Harley: Are you excited? Daisy: Yeah, I am. (Laughs) Harley: Let me get my camera. I can't believe it! My baby girl is graduating high school! Daisy: Don't make me remind you that your "baby girl" isn't going to college. Harley: Can I have a moment, just one moment? Daisy: I thought today was all about me. Harley: Oh, believe me it is. Smile. Daisy: Oh, wait. There's a ticket missing, number 406. Harley: Cyrus wanted to come and watch. Daisy: So much for today being all about me. Harley: Today wouldn't have happened if it weren't for him. Daisy: I know. Harley: Woo, hoo. Impressive. Cyrus: Well, they're not for you. Harley: I wasn't talking about the flowers. (Laughs) Cyrus: Happy graduation. Daisy: Thank you... for everything. Cyrus: You're welcome. Daisy: I'm going to go put these in some water. Cyrus: It's not too late to uninvite me. Harley: Oh, no, you're coming. Cyrus: Okay, good. Harley: See? And she's okay with it. Cyrus: And what about the rest of your family? Harley: They'll deal. Hi. (Giggles) Cyrus: Hi. So when do we leave? Harley: We can leave shortly. I just have to talk to Mallet about something. Cyrus: Oh, what's going on? Harley: Um... something came up about Gus, it has to do with the investigation. Cyrus: Is everything all right? Harley: I think it is, yeah. Let's go inside. Cyrus: Okay. Harley: Daisy. (Laughter) [SCENE_BREAK] Jeffrey: Rafe, put it down. Rafe: Why? Huh? So can you go out there and talk smack about my dad? Tell everybody what a dirty cop he was? Jeffrey, my dad was a good guy, Gus was a good guy. He had a lot of people who depended on him, and I can't let you ruin that. Jeffrey: I know your father was a good man. And there are some people outside who are waiting for answers. And someone has to speak for Gus, who now can't speak... Rafe: You shut up! Shut up! Jeffrey: It's going to be okay, son. Just give me the gun, all right? Rafe: No! (Struggling) (gun shot) Jeffrey: Ah! Mallet: Call 9-1-1. Jeffrey! Rafe, get back here! Keegan: What happened? Mallet: He's been shot. I need an ambulance now. Take it easy, O'Neill. Stay with me, stay down, stay down. Jeffrey: I'm okay. Mallet: It's all right. Help's on the way. Jeffrey: It was an accident. Mallet: Back down. Keegan: The ambulance is on its way. Mallet: Thanks. Jeffrey: I'm okay. Mallet: Lay back down! Hang with me, O'Neill, hang with me. Rafe! Stay with me, O'Neill. [SCENE_BREAK] Cyrus: I got that. That's very classic. Now, give me happy. (Laughs) Daisy: That was happy. Cyrus: Well, happy and relaxed. Okay, that's beautiful. All right, now let's toughen it up. Give my angry. Harley: Angry? Cyrus: Yeah, like "Give me that diploma and get me out of here." Daisy: Oh, I can do that. Cyrus: That kind of angry. Perfect. (Laughs) All right, now work with me. Ah... Charlie's Angels. Daisy: What? Harley: Just do that. Daisy: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cyrus: Very nice. (Laughing) Harley: They're here. (Everybody talking) Daisy: Where is Ashlee? Coop: She's not feeling well, but she sends you her regards. Frank: Yeah, and happy graduation, there you go. Daisy: Thank you. Frank: Good deal. Good deal. Hey, have you seen Pop? Harley: He's meeting us there. Daisy: Where are the little guys? Frank: The little guys are with your father. He promised them ice cream if they wore your little ties for your ceremony. Harley: Hey, did you tell them to save us seats? Daisy: Yes. Harley: Yeah, okay. Cyrus: Hey, everyone. Harley: Oh. Coop: Hi, hey. How are you? Cyrus: Good. Harley: Cyrus is coming with us to go to the ceremony. Cyrus: Yeah, there was an extra ticket. Marina: That's great. Harley: It's not just because there was an extra ticket. Frank: So why don't we head over to the school? Harley: Yeah, let's go. That's a good idea. Cyrus: How about a family photo before you go? Harley: Okay. Yeah. Let's take a family photo, yeah. Don't, please, with the rabbit ears. (Everybody talking) Coop: It's not me, it's always Marina. (Everybody talking) Don't worry about the rabbit ears. Cyrus: Okay, on the count of three, ready? One, two... Marina: Just take it. Objects are closer than they appear. Because they are two- dimensional. I'll alter my vision for my deception. With limited depth perception. I'll let you melt me down. Talk me up. Because I want to be radioactive you won't be long. Ray-yay-yay-di-o-active 'till you remember this song you remember this song listen to the interference from a far off power source ignore my inner voice so you will to the end hear me out hey, I'm going to be ray-yay-yay-di-o-active... Frank: Does that look all right? Okay, does it meet my daughter's approval? Daisy: Yeah, it's okay. Frank: Thank you. Harley: Guys, guys, listen to me for a second. I have to tell you something. That was Mallet. Jeffrey O'Neill was shot at the courthouse. Frank: What? Harley: It was Rafe. Daisy: What? Why? Harley: I don't know. Daisy: Oh, my God! No! Harley: Daisy, wait! I want you to wait for me! Frank: You know, I, I, .... Harley: Don't do anything! [SCENE_BREAK] Natalia: Rafe, it's me again. Could you please call, because Alan's worried about you and got me worried, and I want to know that... you're okay. Okay? Just call me. Bye. [SCENE_BREAK] Mallet: Hi, Ava, this is Mallet. Will you call me as soon as you get this? Um... I'm at the hospital with Jeffrey. He was, um... he's here. So would you just call me as soon as you get this, please? Thank you. Come on, Reva, pick up. Come on, Reva, pick up. Pick up. Reva, damn it! [SCENE_BREAK] Cyrus: What are you looking for? Harley: It was in here. I let him look at stuff and take what he wanted. Cyrus: What, what was in here? What was in here? Harley: Oh, my God. Cyrus: What? What's wrong? Harley: Oh, my God. Oh, my God, no. Gus' gun, Gus' gun, it's gone. Cyrus: Just take it easy. [SCENE_BREAK] Daisy: Rafe, I'm here. I'm here. Rafe: Daisy, I'm so sorry. Daisy, I'm so sorry. Daisy: Oh, it's going to be okay. It's going to be okay! Rafe: I didn't mean to do it. I didn't mean to do it. Daisy: No, I know, I know. Rafe: I didn't think I was going to hurt him like that. Daisy: It was an accident, right? It was an accident. Rafe: I don't even know. Daisy: It's going to be okay anyway, because people are going to help you, so... Rafe: Help me? Daisy, I've got to go. Daisy: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Rafe: Daisy, I've got to go. I can't be here right now. Daisy: No. It was an accident. So it's going to be okay. Rafe: No. Daisy, I shot the D.A.! That's it. You don't come back from that. All right? What is my mother going to think about this, huh? What is this going to do my mom? Daisy: Your mom. Exactly, your mom. Your mom can't lose you... can't lose you after losing Gus. No, no, no. You've just got to stay here until we figure this out. Rafe: Uh-uh. I didn't even know... I just wanted to scare him. You know, I just wanted to scare him. I just wanted to scare him a little bit and make him back off my dad, you know? Make him back off Gus a little bit and it didn't... Daisy: Jeffrey will be okay. Jeffrey will be okay, and people will understand. Rafe: Daisy, how do you know? You talk to Jeffrey? You talk to Jeffrey yourself, Daisy, you know he's going to be okay? I've got to go. Daisy, I've got to go. [SCENE_BREAK] Harley: (Panting heavily) Cyrus: Are you all right? Harley: No, don't, don't, don't. Cyrus: It's okay. You know what to do, right? Harley: I know. Cyrus: You're going to be fine, this is going to pass. Harley: I know. Cyrus: Just breathe. Harley: Gus' things were kept in a lock box, in that basement, and I told Rafe that he could go and look for things down there. Cyrus: Hey, hey, this is not your fault. Harley: I have to find him. But where could he be? Where? Cyrus: It's okay. It's okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Buzz: Frank! Frank? Frank? What the hell's going on? Frank: Who called you? Buzz: The local news. What, it's Jeffrey? Frank: Yeah. He's not doing well, Pop. Mallet's over there right now. Buzz: Well, he'll pull through. You know, Rafe? He's the one, he's never been... Frank: I know. We're going to do everything we can to protect him, aren't we? Buzz: Well, yeah. Frank: Well, okay, if he could sit still for about two seconds and think straight, hopefully, he'll turn himself in. [SCENE_BREAK] Natalia: Tell me Rafe's okay! Mallet: There was a shooting. Natalia: No! Mallet: It's okay. It's not Rafe. It's not Rafe. It's Jeffrey O'Neill. Rafe had a gun. And he thought Jeffrey was going to go public about Gus taking payoffs. It was a big misunderstanding. Jeffrey was going to protect Gus, but Rafe didn't know that. Natalia: Oh, God... Mallet: And I didn't get a chance to tell him that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I tried to talk to him. I thought I got through to him. I thought he was going to trust us to do the right thing for Gus. Natalia: Where is he right now? Mallet: I don't know. I don't know. He took off. Natalia: Is Jeffrey, is he...? Mallet: He's being operated on right now. It's not real good. Natalia: Okay. I don't understand how this happened because-- a gun? He doesn't have a gun. I don't know how... Mallet: Have you heard from him? Has he contacted you? There's going to be a lot of people looking for him, okay? It's best that he turns himself in, all right? You have to call me, all right? I'm going to go back to the hospital. All right? I'm sorry. Call me, please. Natalia: Will you please bring him in safely, please, because he's a very good boy. Mallet: Yeah. Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Daisy, you're turning me in? Daisy: No, I didn't tell them. Harley: She didn't. I just, I figured you'd come here. Listen to me, Rafe, we can take care of you. But you have to come with me. Daisy: No, no! Rafe: Harley, is Jeffrey... Harley: He's at the hospital. They're taking care of him. Cyrus: Guys, we need to get this moving. Rafe: I need to see my mom before you bring me in, okay? Please? Just let me see my mom. Daisy: He didn't mean it. It was an accident. Harley: I will do everything I can to look out for you. You are Gus' son, which means you are my son, too. There is nothing I wouldn't do to keep you safe, Rafe. Rafe: I wouldn't, I wouldn't have done it. I swear. I think I did it just because he was going to hurt Gus. I promise you, okay? Harley: I know. Rafe: I'm telling you the truth. Harley: I know. (Sobbing) Hey, Tobias, what's up? Tobias: Chief Mallet sent me over to look for Rivera. Harley: I know, I just checked the place out. There's no sign of him. Tobias: Well, I'll do a double check. Harley: You know what? Don't. His mom is so upset up there. You know, I just think she needs some space. Where I do need you is down at the Main Street mall, and I'll stay here. Tobias: All right. Good idea. But let me know if he shows up. Harley: I will. (Knock on the door) Rafe: You know. Harley: We'll be right out here. Cyrus: Are you okay? [SCENE_BREAK] Natalia: Are you okay? Rafe: No! Ma, I messed up real bad this time. Being a cop was everything to Gus, and... Natalia: You were everything to Gus! Rafe: No! Look, it's not like he would have been able to rest in peace. Gus was a hero, and that guy was going to make him look like a liar in front of everybody! He's not even here to defend himself. Natalia: Eye-yey-yey, Rafe. It's going to be fine because I will figure this whole thing out. And I think maybe we should go and see Alan, and he can help us fix this. And they just need to understand, and they'll see that you're a good boy. You just have to explain, and they'll see. Okay? [SCENE_BREAK] Cyrus: I feel bad for Rafe. Prison's rough. Harley: Yes, it is. He's not going to prison. I can't take him in. He's Gus' son. I can't do that to him. Cyrus: To Gus or Rafe? Harley: I started this. Cyrus: Rafe took the gun. Harley: I started this. I'm the one who looked into those cases. I'm the one who opened this investigation. Cyrus: You couldn't have known. Listen, we'll figure out how to help him. Harley: Thank you. You're just always here helping me, even though I keep pushing you away. Cyrus: I love you. Harley: I don't believe this. I thought I was going to finish what he started, and now I have to finish what I started. [SCENE_BREAK] Daisy: I don't think you should be hanging out with me. I think I'm cursed. Coop: Daisy, we're family. Okay, whatever you have, I probably already have it, too. It's okay. Daisy: I don't think so. When you came into town, everything didn't fall apart for everybody. Coop: Well, as it turns out, when I came to town, I punched Gus in the face, and I ran a bulldozer through the Spaulding front gate. Daisy: Coop, I was in the car that killed Tammy. And then I brought Natalia here, and that broke up Gus and Harley. And then I got pregnant, and I had to have an abortion, and I didn't tell anybody. Coop: And so now you think it's your fault that Rafe shot Jeffrey? Daisy: It is my fault that Rafe and Natalia are still in town. Coop: It's just coincidence, that's all. All right? Life does not work that way. Daisy: Then how does it work? Coop: I knew you were going to ask that. And I honestly don't have any answers for you. Look, um... I can still get you to your graduation, if you want. Daisy: No, no. I want to go home. [SCENE_BREAK] (Knock on the door) Natalia: Okay, so how do we do this? What's going to happen? Harley: We'll take care of him. Natalia: I know. But you don't know-- what's going to happen, you know, when they bring him in? Harley: Gus took care of my daughter when she was in trouble. I will do the same for his son. I promise. Natalia: Okay, because I don't even know what to do first. He needs a lawyer, right? Harley: Uh-huh. Natalia: And I don't know... Harley: We'll figure it out. Natalia: Thank you. Harley: Natalia, one favor. May I speak to Rafe alone for just a few minutes? I want to prepare him for what might happen. And I think it would upset him to know you were listening. Natalia: Okay. Harley: Here's the deal. I have a plan, and if you agree to it, we have to move very quickly. [SCENE_BREAK] Cyrus: I'm sorry. Natalia: That's the only thing people can say to me lately. "I'm sorry that your husband got killed." "I'm sorry that your son just shot someone." Cyrus: Rafe's a good kid. Natalia: He's not really a kid anymore. I wanted him to be, though. I wanted to bring him here and have him get to know his father and his family. If I had known. I don't know how I'm going to protect him. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: So we can't tell anybody? I can't even say good-bye to my mom? Harley: She wouldn't even let it happen. She's too good a mother to send you on the run. And she could never send you to prison. Rafe: How is she going to know that I'm okay? Harley: We'll figure it out. But first there are things that I have to take care of. I have to get us some money. And you need to put together whatever you need to get on a plane, but that's it. Nothing more. And you meet me in one hour. Rafe: An hour? Harley: I should make you come with me, but I'm trusting you. Can I trust you? One hour? Rafe: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Harley: Hey. Frank: Any luck? Harley: I went to the boardinghouse. Natalia hasn't seen him. I'm sure he's out of town by now. Frank: Well, he couldn't have gotten far. Harley: Any word on Jeffrey? Frank: No, no, nothing yet. You know, sis, I like Rafe. He's a good kid. And you know, I'd give anything to change things for him right now. Harley: It's just an unbelievable mess. Frank: Yeah, I know. Don't worry. We'll figure out what happened. We'll take care of him. He's a Cooper now. Harley: Thank you for always protecting us. You are the best big brother ever. Frank: Are you sure you're okay? Harley: Yeah. It's just a lot. Would you go find him, please? Frank: Yeah. I'll see you tonight, all right? Harley: Yeah. Uh-huh. Frank: Don't worry. We'll find him. Harley: Thanks. It's me. I need your help. [SCENE_BREAK] Rafe: Harley left. It's just me. Um, Mom, I'm sorry. You know, I was just trying to protect you, and I was trying to protect Gus. Natalia: Don't apologize. Not to me. I know you. (Knock on the door) Yes? Cyrus: Natalia, it's Cyrus. Is Harley here? Natalia: No. She left. Rafe, did she say where she was going? Rafe: She said she had some stuff to do. Cyrus: Oh, okay. I'll catch her at home. Hang in there, Rafe. There's a lot of people pulling for you. Rafe: I was hoping that things were going to get better. You know, maybe you could start to be happy again. Natalia: Don't worry about me. Don't worry about it. I'll figure it out. I will never give up on you. Rafe: Maybe you should. Natalia: Yeah, that will happen. I love that smile. I love that face. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. Rafe: No, I'm not hungry. Natalia: It doesn't matter. I think you should eat something. Rafe: I know, um, yeah, I know. But I've got to take my meds first, because I forgot to take them before. Natalia: Okay. Good. Take your meds, and I'll get you something. Rafe: Oh, man, Buzz gave me half a shelf in the bathroom. Natalia: Oh, aren't you special? Rafe: Yeah. I get it from my momma, so... Natalia: Okay. You go ahead and take your meds, and I'll be back. [SCENE_BREAK] Harley: I'm sorry to put all of this on you like this, Daddy, but I didn't think anybody else would get it. Buzz: Probably not. Harley: But you do, right? Buzz: Well, I know my kids will do anything they can to protect the people they love, and I know sometimes you have to bend the rules. Harley: I need things, fast. Buzz: I know. Harley: And I need you to back me up with Frank and Daisy and Rick, and make them understand. Buzz: I'll give it a shot. How much time do I have? Harley: Rafe's meeting me in about-- less than an hour. Buzz: Oh! The kids... Harley: Daddy, I'll be back. I'll be back. I would tell them myself if I could, but I can't. Buzz: You can't. You can't even tell Frank because he'd stop you. You can tell me, because I can't. Harley: I love you, Daddy. Buzz: I'll get you what you need. Harley: Thank you. Hurry. Hurry. [SCENE_BREAK] Coop: Hey. Cyrus: Hey. Coop: Where's Harley? Cyrus: That's a good question. She's not picking up her phone. She's probably somewhere trying to help Rafe. But I'm sure she'll be home soon, and she'll tell us what's going on. Daisy: I want my mom. [SCENE_BREAK] Natalia: Rafe, sorry it took me so long. There was a million people in there for graduation. Rafe? Rafe? (Sobbing) [SCENE_BREAK] Cyrus: Hey, there you are, we were starting to worry. Harley: We? Cyrus: Yeah. Um, Daisy and Coop are inside. Harley: How is she? Cyrus: She misses her mom. Harley: I'm going to be so wrapped up in things now, today, could you do me a favor and would you keep an eye on Daisy for me? Cyrus: Yeah, but I think I'm the last person she wants to be looking over her. Harley: You could do it from a distance. Cyrus: Yeah. Harley: I just need you to be around, okay? Cyrus: Okay. Harley: I wrapped her present and I put it under the bed. I have to go to the station, and I have to take care of things there. Do you think that you and Coop could give that to her for me? Cyrus: I think that she'd prefer to wait for you. Harley: I think that the best thing that I can do for her now is to take care of Rafe. And I'm trying to do that. I just have to stay focused on this. Where are my boys? Cyrus: Frank took them to the park. Harley: Right. Cyrus: Hey. Harley: I love you so much. Thank you for saving my life. Cyrus: Me? Harley: Thank you. Ooh, what a day! Cyrus: Yeah. Harley: Could you check on Daisy? Cyrus: Sure. Objects are closer than they appear. Because they are two-dimensional. I'll alter my vision for my deception. With limited depth perception I'll let you melt me down. Talk me up. Because I want to be radioactive it won't be long ray-yay-yay-di-o-active 'till you remember this song well, you remember this song. [SCENE_BREAK] Cyrus: I'm sorry. Daisy: For what? For once, this isn't your fault. Cyrus: Yeah, but this should've been a great day for you. Your mom really wanted that. Daisy: (Sobbing) Cyrus: Hey. [SCENE_BREAK] Harley: Hey. Are you okay? Good. Buzz: Hey. Well, I emptied the cash register, I got a few phone numbers. You should be okay for a while. Harley: I'm so lucky to have you, Daddy. Buzz: Who would have thought? Go. Well come on, people are gathering in the yard to cheer up Daisy. Harley: You should go be with her. She needs that. Buzz: When I know you're safely away, that's when I'll go. Harley: Rafe, I said stay put. Rafe: I know, I know. Buzz: Hey. Gonna miss you. Take your medicine, okay? Rafe: Just let my mom know when you see her that I was fine when you saw me, okay? Harley: Take this. Go back to the car. I'm coming, I promise. Rafe: Yeah, yeah. Harley: Keep everybody distracted? I just need a minute to get out of here. Buzz: Safe home. Everybody feels good everybody feels bad nobody wants to lose what they've already had take it on faith take it alone take it anyway you get it who wants to be alone try letting go-o try letting go only love can save the world only love can save the world only love can save the world only love can save the world oh, we know you'll never know until you try open your heart, let your spirit fly only love can save the world only love can save the world only love can save the world only love can save the world yeah... [SCENE_BREAK] Coming up on "Guiding Light..." Alan: Why would he shoot O'Neill? Natalia: It was an accident. He did not mean to do it. Alan: Where are they holding him? Natalia: They're not. He's gone. Frank: Have you talked to Harley? Because, you know, she shot out of here so quickly, I didn't get to ask her any questions. Buzz: Your sister did what she had to do. Frank: He's okay. Harley decided to keep Rafe safe the best way she could think of. She took him.
