At the Horton House, Abby talked to Gabi about Will. Then they talked about Abby's award. Abby wondered what was going on with Chad since he didn't show up at the house. Abby called him, but got the voicemail. At the Brady Pub, Sonny asked Will if he was all right after what happened at Maggie's. Artie came in saying he needed to talk. Sonny wanted to know what was going on. Artie said they're going to kill us. Sonny was willing to help Artie since he told them about the gambling on their website. Artie said he wasn't the only one in trouble. He said they were all in trouble. Artie wanted to know where Chad was. Will didn't know. Will wanted to know what was going on. Artie said if they didn't find Chad, he would be dead. Bo and Hope were at Rafe and Sami's loft. Rafe introduced Jay Jordan to them. Rafe said there was something big going down at Salem University and Will may be involved in it. Rafe said Will's life could be in danger. Hope wanted to know what was going on. Rafe wanted Jay to tell them. At the Horton Town Square, Melanie noticed that Chad didn't answer a call from Abby and wanted to know why. Chad said he's a terrible liar and Abby would have known right away something was going on. He thanked Melanie for keeping it quiet. A man watched them. While Chad and Melanie were checking out the necklace he wanted to get for Abby, the guy watching them bumped into Chad. When Chad told him to watch it, the guy pulled out a gun. The gunman wanted Chad to do what he said or he would shoot them. Chad tried to attack the guy, but the guy stuck the gun in his stomach and grabbed him. The guy warned Chad that Melanie would get it if he tried playing hero again. Bo and Hope were talking with Jay. Jay told them a guy approached him and threatened to break his neck if he didn't throw the game. (Jay is a forward at Salem U). Jay said it has been happening for months. Bo asked if he called he could tell them anything about the gambler, but Jay couldn't. Jay knew the guy had a partner. Jay said the guy was smart. The guy knew that he was doing. Jay said the guy threatened him and his family if he didn't throw the game. Jay went along with it because he didn't want his family hurt. Bo asked how often did he hear from the guys. Jay only saw them in person a couple of times. Bo and Hope continued to question Jay about the gambler. Jay told them the guys used a website to take bets. He said it was a university website. Bo realized that the site could be Will's website. Sonny said if the trouble was about the website, they didn't have to worry because they shut the website down. Artie said that was the problem. Artie said the guys running the gambling site are bad people. They are the kind to chop off fingers in order to make their enemies disappear. Artie said the guys are mad that they cut off their cash cow so they are going to make them disappear. Artie said the guys probably got to Chad. Will and Sonny panicked when they didn't hear anything from Chad. They were afraid they were in danger. Chad and Melanie were put in a warehouse. Melanie wanted to know why they were there. The guys were watching Melanie and Chad on a camera. Chad and Melanie banged and screamed to be let out. The guys went in to talk to Chad and Melanie. The guys told Chad to put the sports page back up for or Chad and Melanie would get it. Chad realized they were the ones who hacked into the website. Chad told them he was a DiMera. The guys knew who he was. They also knew he has nothing to do with his family so one was going to be rescuing them anytime soon. When one of the guys tried to hit on Melanie, Chad stopped him. The guy agreed to leave Melanie alone as long as the website was running. Chad said they could have any website as long as they left them alone. The guy said no. The guy already had a system in place, accounts lined up, addresses, encrypted information that they couldn't afford to lose. He said too much time and money has gone into this. Bo got off the phone and told Hope, Rafe, and Carrie that Jay was in protective custody and they were working on finding his family. Bo said if what Jay said was true, they had to get to Will, Chad, and Sonny. Chad told the guys if they shoot him, the site would never go up. Chad said he handled tech, so if they let them go, he would have the site back in an hour. The guy laughed and hit Chad. They guy didn't buy Chad's idea. The guy knew Will was the brains of the website. When the guys left, Chad comforted Melanie.
Sonny: I'm thinking about launching an unofficial salem u social website. Are you interested? Will: People could buy tickets from their dorm room. Chad: And they could do real-time game updates. Sonny: Video highlights. Will: Uh, streamed like an interview show. Abigail: And they could do player profiles with pictures. Gabi: Also, you can get a sponsor's fee for the ads. Will: If this works, like, if this takes off, then... we can target other campuses locally. Sonny: And then spread out from there. Chad: This could be amazing. Will: Actually, this could be huge. Gabi: I was just talking about all the traffic on our salem u website. Will: That's good. Gabi: I know, we've doubled our hits, and the message boards are on fire. Okay, let me see that. Gabi: Yeah. Will: Awesome site. Okay, "best sports site the midwest conference." I'll take that one. Chad: Unbelievable. Sonny: You know, if you're right about this... we are gonna have some big problems. Chad: Yeah, no kidding. Will: Okay...what's going on? Sonny: Our website has been majorly hacked. And if we don't get a handle on it fast... we could be arrested. And it gets worse. 'Cause we're seeing posts from gotgame48 with big numbers listed. Chad: You know what? What if that's the amount they're paying out? You know, what if someone's hijacked our website and is using it to run a book? Will: Okay, let me check it out. Chad: Heh. This is a nightmare. Will: Well, it's a hyperlink from our website to a major online gambling page. So whoever hacked into our site embedded these links to each of our cascading sheets that we set up. I'm on to something. Chad: Okay, what is it? Will: I used a reverse directory to find out gotgame43's ip address. And it's coming from a dorm at salem U. So whoever this gotgame48 guy is, we can probably find him there. Artie: I'm not the guy you're really looking for. Chad: Okay, why don't you just start off by telling us. Artie: You've got a lot more to worry about than me. I'm just a pawn in a much bigger game. And a lot more dangerous than you know. Chad: Why don't you just cut the crap? What the hell is goin' on? Artie: I think it'll be easier if I show you. Sonny: I've never seen anything like this before. There's gotta be over 1,000 sporting events, all over the world, to bet on. Artie: Exactly, your site is now a portal for a multimillion dollar gambling operation. And the guys running it, trust me... they play for keeps. Sonny: So what should we do? Chad: Well, people are fixing games and making spreads available directly off our site. There's only one thing we can do. Will: Shut it down. Now. Chad: Look, look, look, look. Melanie: What? What? Is that a camera? Chad: Yeah. They can see us. They've been watching us this whole time. Melanie: Oh, my god. Chad: Right, there's gotta be a way out of here. Something, something. There's gotta be a way out. Come on, come on. Come on, come on, come on. [Mumbling] Uhh! I'm sorry, mel. I'm so sorry. Melanie: Oh, it's okay. It's not your fault. Chad: I'm so sorry. It is my fault, because i thought I could save us. [Door opens] Man: Hello, again. Hark the herald angels sing glory to the newborn king peace on earth and mercy mild god and sinners reconciled Abigail: Well? Joyful all ye nations Jennifer: Oh, my goodness, you look beautiful. Abigail: What? What? Jennifer: You look beautiful! You look amazing! Oh, thank you. Abigail: Are you sure it's not too much? Jennifer: No. No, it's perfect. Abigail: Okay. Jennifer: I'm so proud of you. Abigail: Thanks, mom. Jennifer: [Gasps] Your shoes. I'll get 'em. Abigail: Okay. Jennifer: Stay right here. Abigail: How you doing? Listen, I know...that, after everything that happened with will, this is probably the last thing you want to be doing right now. Gabi: I'm fine. I-I promise. I promise. Besides, tonight is not even about me, it's about you and this amazing award that you're receiving. I don't want to be thinking about will and I breaking up. Sonny: Will. Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you. Will: Hey, um... you know what? I kind of want to be left alone right now. Sonny: Yeah, I didn't come to bug you. I just wanted to make sure you're okay. After...what happened at maggie's house. Will: I'm guessing that by "what happened at maggie's house," you're referring to me flipping out and trashing her kitchen? Sonny: Yeah. Just wanna make sure everything's all right, 'cause we're all really worried about you. Will: Yeah. Thank you. I'm fine, I'm great. Artie: Will, sonny... I need to speak with you. Sonny: Hold on, just slow down, slow down. What's going on? Artie: They're gonna kill us, that's what's going on. Bo: Hey, man. Rafe: Thank you for coming right over. Bo: No problem. Rafe: Yeah. Bo: Your message, it sounded kind of serious. Rafe: Yeah, it is. Bo, hope, this is jay jordan. Bo: Hi, jay. I know you--you're a forward for salem U. Hope: Hey, jay. Hope. Okay, uh, so...what does this have to do with us? That's a good question. I've known jay for a long time. He's a good kid. Stays out of trouble. Mostly. Anyway, there's something big going down at salem u, and, uh, looks like will may also be involved. Abigail: Gabi...I am your friend, remember? You don't have to pretend like everything's fine and okay. You can talk to me about what's going on. Gabi: I know. I know, I know, I know. And thank you for saying that. It means a lot. I don't wanna talk about will tonight. I just wanna forget about the real world and just have fun. Can we do that, please? Abigail: Fine. But I know you. If you need me later, you better ask. Gabi: I promise. Abigail: Okay. [Sighs] Gabi: Hey, that's like the 16th time you've checked your phone today. Abigail: Oh, I just, um... I haven't heard from chad. And he's supposed to be here by now. Gabi: Oh, why don't you just call him? Maybe he got held up or something. Abigail: Yeah. You're probably right. [Sighs] Voicemail. Chad: Um... Melanie: Why didn't you answer that? Chad: You know, I'm a terrible liar. And if I did, she would have known right away that something was going on. Melanie: Oh. Chad: [Chuckles] Thank you so much for--for coming. Keeping this between us. Melanie: Yeah. No. My lips are sealed. [Both giggling] Sonny: Artie. Hey. All right? We owe you one. You helped us uncover the gambling ring attached to our website. All right, so if you're in trouble, you let us know. And we got your back. Will: Yeah. Artie: It's not just me. It's all of us. Wh-where's your friend? The tall guy. Will: Chad? I don't know. I haven't seen him all day. Artie: Then call him. Call him right now. Will: Okay, artie, tell us what the hell's going on. Artie: If you don't find him, your friend is as good as dead! Do you understand? [Laughter] Chad: I know, and I can't believe you actually like that movie. Melanie: Well, I'm sorry you don'T. Chad: Well...melanie, I just so happen to have exquisite taste. Melanie: Wow, "exquisite." Chad: Mm-hmm. [Cell phone rings] Horace: Yeah. I'm watching them right now. No, he's got some chick with him. But it shouldn't be a problem. Stupid kids. They won't know what hit 'em. Bo: Is will in some kind of trouble? Rafe: Well, if we don't do something, will's life could be in danger. So...yeah. Hope: What's going on? Rafe: Go on, tell 'em what you told me. Jay: [Sighs] Rafe: It's okay, you can tell them. Most of 'em are family here, okay? It's gonna be okay. I promise. Abigail: Are you sure you know what you're doing? Gabi: I always look good, don't I? Abigail: Okay, I trust you. Gabi: Plus, I am an artist, all right? What do you think about blue mascara? Abigail: Wai-wait, that'S... Gabi: Come--are you kidding me? I'm--what, do you think I'm crazy or something? Abigail: Well, sometimes your choices-- Gabi: Oh, okay, know what? That's what we're doing, no more mascara...it's done. Jennifer: Shoes. There you go, sweetie. Abigail: Thank you. [Phone ringing] Jennifer: Okay. Hello? Jack: Hello, mother of the star reporter. Are you ready for tonight's celebration? Jennifer: I am, but I cannot say the same for our daughter. Are you almost ready? Both: No. Jennifer: Oh, they're never gonna make it. They're not gonna make it. Gabi: Mm-hmm. Still no answer? Abigail: I don't know where he is. I just don't get it. This night is really important to me. Gabi: Well, I mean, don't get upset with him yet. There's still time. Abigail: Yeah, I just hope he's okay. Chad: Do you really think abigail will like this? Melanie: Yes! She's gonna love it. Chad: You sure, because now that I look at it, I kind of want the ones with the diamonds all over it. Melanie: Really? Chad, hey... she's gonna love it, okay? Would I lie to you? Chad: You trying to make me feel better...for dropping major cash on on a non- returnable item? Yeah, I think you would. Melanie: [Laughs] Give it to me. I'll model it for you so that you can see that it's perfect. Chad: Uh, you might, I mean-- Melanie: I got it. Chad: No, I-- okay, let me help you. Melanie: I can put it on. Chad: I got it, I got it. Melanie: Fine. Careful. Chad: Okay, hold on. Okay, there you go. All right, turn around. Melanie: Okay. Chad: It's, uh...it'S... it's p-perfect. [Chuckles] It's just... Melanie: See? I told you. It's--she's gonna... [Giggles] She's gonna love it. I just...okay. Here you go. You better get going. [Giggles] Do you wanna put that back-- Chad: Ohh! Melanie: Whoa! Chad: Oh, watch it, buddy. Horace: Nah...you watch it. Now...you do exactly what I say or you'll both get a bullet in your head. Okay? [ Female announcer ] What's so great about jcpcash? Daniel: All right, your chariot has arrived. Whoa! This looks great. Maggie: Oh, well, I felt it needed the woman's touch. Daniel: Looks good. Maggie: Daniel, thank you very much for inviting us to abigail's awards ceremony. Daniel: Yeah. Maggie: So where's jennifer? Daniel: Jennifer is, uh, is, uh, you know, she's getting ready with abigail. Yeah. Victor: So we're your dates? Daniel: Yes, you are. It appears that I am the third wheel here. Maggie: Jack is gonna be there? Daniel: Yeah...he is going to be there, probably with jennifer. He is abigail's father. And he's the reason that she's up for the award, so yeah. Victor: Hope you haven't decided to ignore my advice. Daniel: No, I haven't decided to ignore your advice. I'm still fighting for jennifer. Just not gonna do it today. Today is about abigail. Not my relationship with her mother. Maggie: Have I mentioned what a great person you are? Daniel: Maybe once or twice. I don't know, I'm not sure. But, uh, I also may be a foolish person. Maggie: No, you're not foolish. You've got a big heart, daniel. Any woman would be lucky to have you in her life. Daniel: Thank you. Bo: Wow. Hope: Now you know you know why we called. Bo: Yeah, I'm glad you did. Hope: Okay, let me get this straight. Some guy approaches you, threatens you, says if you don't throw the game, it'll be your neck. Jay: Basically. Hope: And this has happened on more than one occasion? Jay: It's been happening for months. Bo: Can you tell us anything about this gambler? Jay: Not really. He had a partner. And he was smart. Really smart. Bo: Tell us anything else. Jay: He knew what he was doing. Like he'd done it before. He knew exactly what to say to get me to... cooperate. Hope: What do you mean by that? Jay: He told me if I didn't throw the games... he wouldn't just kill me. He'd kill my family. Sonny: Hey, man, come on! Will: Artie... artie, let go of me. Artie: I'm sorry. It's just... you don't understand. Me, you, sonny, chad... we're all dead meat if we don't act fast. Sonny: Just about the website? Don't worry, we already shut it down, okay? Artie: I know, that's the problem. Sonny: There was illegal gambling going on--we had to. Artie: I tried to warn you. The guys who are running this gambling site are very... very bad people. Sonny: Okay. Artie: The kind of bad people that chop off fingers and make their enemies disappear. Don't you see? You cut off their cash cow. Now they're gonna make us disappear. Horace: You heard me. Move. [Whispering] Okay, let's do what he says. Melanie: Okay. Chad: Whoa! Melanie: Chad! Horace: [Laughing] Oh, buddy. You gotta lay off the hooch. [Chuckling] Try being the hero again... and your girlfriend gets it. [Indistinct] Go on. Melanie: Okay, okay, okay. Just one phillips' colon health probiotic cap a day Maggie: Oh, there she is. Jennifer: There you are. Maggie: Hi! Jennifer: Hello. Oh, my goodness, this is so exciting. Jennifer: Oh, yes, it is. It is, it is. Daniel: Hey, how are you? Jennifer: My little girl. It's so exciting. Maggie: Well, it seems like-- Jennifer: She's a journalist. Maggie: It seems like just yesterday... that I was watching you win the ferraro award. Jennifer: Oh, boy, doesn't seem like yesterday to me. Maggie: Really? Victor: Still, you must be proud of your daughter. Going into the family business, so to speak. Jennifer: Uh, well, I mean, she still doesn't know what she wants to do. She's looking at psychology, med school--I don't know. She's--she's good at a lot of things. Daniel: Well, imagine that. Victor: So...when does the shindig begin? Jennifer: Um, well, it should be soon. I mean, the other journalist students are arriving for their awards, so abby, she should be getting here soon. Daniel: Yeah, but where is she? Jennifer: Well, she wanted to win her favorite earrings, but they were at gabi's house. So she had to have them. She had to go back there. But, honestly, I think she's nervous about her speech. Daniel: Ah, she'll do great. Yeah. She's very talented. Like her mom. Jennifer: Hey, uh, could you excuse me for one minute? Daniel: Yeah. You know, in fact, I'll get us some drinks. Jennifer: Okay, thanks. Hey. Jack: Hey! Jennifer: The man that made it all possible. Jennifer: Oh, come on, now, i didn't make it possible. Abigail did--all I did was lick the stamp, put it on the envelope, and put it in the mail. Jennifer: Right, uh-huh, and you researched the contest, read her paper, and encouraged her to write since she was old enough to hold a pencil in her hand. Jack: Well, maybe I'm a little responsible. Jennifer: Thank you for doing this for our daughter. It's so funny--I was just talking to aunt maggie about when I won my ferraro award. I mean, it was one of the best surprises of my life. I mean, I didn't even know i wanted to...be a writer until you believed in me. And abby's so lucky, because you've always believed in her. Jack: Even when I didn't believe in myself. Still, I haven't always been the best father. Jennifer: But you love her. And she loves you, and that counts for everything. Jay: At first... I didn't know what to do. I was so scared. I couldn't handle the thought of my family getting hurt. So I went along with it. I missed shots. I fouled out. Bo: How often did you hear from these guys? Jay: I only saw them in person a couple times. They mostly left messages. Bo: Threatening you? Jay: Always. Then a few weeks went by, and nothing happened, so I thought-- Bo: Thought they were all talk. Jay: Yeah. Bo: So the other night, in your game against state... Jay: In the game against state, I... I played my hardest. I set a school record, actually. Bo: And... Jay: And it was the biggest mistake of my life. Will: Artie... are you on drugs? Artie: What? Will: Sonny and I are fine. Okay? I'm sure chad is fine. You're fine. Nothing bad had happened to us. Artie: Not yet! Sonny: Look, not only is there illegal gambling going on on our website, they're fixing games...guaranteeing that every bet they place, they are winning. Okay? We had to shut it down. Artie: Yeah, well taking down your site might have cost you your life. They probably already got your friend. You don't believe me? Try calling him. Go ahead--he won't pick up. Will: Okay. All right. You got our attention. Okay, artie, how bad is it? Artie: The gambling site that's linked to yours is much, much more complex than even i originally realized. The guys running it had a whole infrastructure set up, complete with offshore access. Sonny: Which means? Artie: Which means bookies from all over the world can gain access through the portal on your website. And now that portal's closed. Will: Because we cut off the cash flow. Artie: If you don't get your website back and fast... Will: You think they're gonna kill us. Gabi: Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, relax, no, stop. Let's just stop and breathe and relax before your huge, enormous family get-together. Abigail: Gabi, come on, we're gonna be late. Gabi: No, no, no, we have time. Don't worry, just breathe. Abigail: [Exhales] I'm fine. Gabi: Okay. Abigail: Ridiculously nervous, but fine. Gabi: Your speech is great. You look great. Everything is gonna be great. Don't worry. Abigail: Okay. I hope you're right. Gabi: I know I'm right. [Abigail giggles] What...what is this? Abigail: Someone must have lost it. It's so beautiful. [Chad grunts] Melanie: Okay, okay! What the hell's going on? Chad: I-- Melanie: Why are we in here? What do they want from us, chad? What is going on? Chad: I have no idea! Me and you, a holiday rendezvous Chad: Get us out of here! Melanie: Help! Chad: Get us out of here! [Pounding] Hope: What happened after the game? Did the gamblers come after you and your family? Jay: After the game, I went home to tell my family how well I did. When I got there, the house was...was trashed, and they were gone. Please, you've gotta help me find my family. Bo: Yeah, yeah, man, we will. Don't you worry. We'll do everything we can to find them. Hope: Jay, is there anything else you can tell us about this men? What did they look like? Was there anything distinctive about their appearance, their voices? Jay: No, I told you I only saw them a couple times, and they wore hoods. So I never saw their faces, and they sounded like... regular guys. Bo: Okay. Can you tell us anything about the scam they were running, maybe where they were working, who their boss was? Jay: All I know is... they were using some website to take bets. It was a university website. Bo: So he's talking about will's website, right? Well, if that's true, will and his buddies...they're in way over their heads. Will: Not picking up. Sonny: He's not answering my text. Will: Okay. We need to find him, just--if something happened-- Sonny: Okay, don't panic, don't panic, all right? Just think about where he could be--where could he be? Will: Uh... Sonny: He's with abigail at her awards ceremony, all right? That would explain why he has his phone off. That's why he can't text us back. Will: Yeah... Sonny: So let's just go down to the town square...and I'm sure he'll be there. Will: Okay. Let's go. Sonny: All right, let's check it out. Melanie: [Pounding on door] Help! Chad: Hello! Melanie: Help! Chad: Anybody out there? Hello? Zig: Are you sure we got the right guys? Horace: What do you think i am, an idiot? Of course we got the right guys. Zig: Jeez, I'm sorry. Horace: Yeah, yeah. Now, let's get in there. Hey, and whatever you do... don't mess this up. Chad: It's jammed... Melanie: Can you unlock it? Help-- Horace: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Now, now, darling, there's no need to waste your pretty little voice. [Laughs] No one's gonna hear you. Chad: What do you want from us? Who the hell are you people? Horace: Us? We're the bad guys. [Both laugh] Whew! Abigail: Uh, I'll see you later. You came. Austin: Hey, abby, yeah. I promised I would, and I do not break promises. Except maybe the part about carrie coming. Abigail: Oh. She can't make it? Austin: Yeah, I'm not sure yet. She's gotta work. But...maybe if she gets off early, um... fingers crossed. [Both chuckle] Gabi: Hey, austin. Austin: Hey, gabi. Gabi: Um, listen, will and sonny are here and they look kind of weird and sweaty. So can you just go with me? 'Cause I don't want to be with them all by myself. Abigail: Sure. I'll see ya. Austin: Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. You guys have fun out there. Abigail: Thanks. Hey, guys. So glad you could make it. Will: Hey. Is chad here? Abigail: What? Will: Or melanie? Abigail: No. Why? Sonny: Have you heard from them at all today? Abigail: No, I tried calling chad a bunch of times, but he didn't answer. Will: No! Abigail: Actually, neither did mel. Gabi: Wait. What's wrong? [Cell phones ringing] [Ringing] Oh, my god. Gabi: What is this? Okay, what is going on? Tell me right now. My doctor told me calcium Bo: Okay. Thanks, dave. All right, jay's in protective custody. We're working on finding his family. Rafe: Thanks, bo. Bo: Okay. If jay was telling us the truth-- Carrie: Well, he was telling the truth. Couldn't you see how frightened he was? Bo: No, I mean if he was right in that they're running a gambling ring through will's website, we gotta find will immediately. Carrie: Well, I'll try will again right now. Bo: Okay. Who else was working with him on that thing? Rafe: Chad dimera and sonny kiriakis. Hope: A dimera and a kiriakis? Rafe: Yeah, well, they're good kids. Hope: Yeah. We know sonny is. Bo: Good kids or not, their names carry some weight in this town. I'd trust sonny with my life. Rafe: All right, I'm gonna try and get hold of chad. Carrie: And I'll try will. Bo: All right, thanks. We find will and his buddies... make sure they're safe... and then we bury these guys who are messing with my family. Hope: Okay. Abigail: This had better be some kind of joke, you guys, even though this is really not funny. This has to be a joke! Will: "Put the website back up if you want your friends to live. No cops." Abigail: What? Gabi: Wait. These...these are the people that were using the site for illegal gambling. They have melanie and chad? Abigail: I can't believe this--I cannot believe this is happening right now! Sonny: Shh, shh, hey, hey. Hey, listen, hey, let's go get you some water so you can calm down. Abigail: Calm down, sonny? How am I supposed to calm down? My best friend and my boyfriend are being held hostage right now! Sonny: Shh. Everything's gonna be okay, okay? Everything's gonna be okay. We're gonna get the website back up. They'll let chad and melanie go, right? But we can't tell anyone right now, so just be quiet. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, he's right. Listen to me--the website is all that they want. So we're gonna do exactly what they tell them to do. Sonny: Okay? All right? So I'm gonna go get you to a quiet place. You can collect yourself. Hey, look at me. We don't need to draw attention to ourselves. Gabi: Will, what are we gonna do? Maggie: Gabi? Will. Oh, where's abigail off to? I was hoping to congratulate her on this wonderful award. Will: Uh, she went to the restroom, but she'll be back. Victor: Will, everything all right? You look flushed. Gabi: He's fine. Maggie: Um...have you heard from melanie? I-I can't get a hold of her. Gabi: I actually just spoke with her. She's--she's on the way over here. Maggie: Okay, well... we'll leave you two alone. Have a good night. Will: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what to do. Gabi: We have to save our friends...that's what we have to do. We have to put the site back up, and we have to do it before we run out of time. Melanie: You son of a bitch! Horace: I take it you never saw one of these before. Melanie: Let us go! Horace: I take it that you've never seen one of these before. It's called a gun... and it can kill you. So if I were you, I'd shut the hell up. Zig: You want me to gag 'em, boss? Horace: No, no, that won't be necessary. Something tells me these two will be more than happy to cooperate. Chad: What do you want from us? Horace: It's very simple. Either your friends put your little sports page back up... or you both get it. Got it? Chad: You're the bastards who hacked our site? Horace: In the flesh. Chad: [Laughs] You know what? You just made the biggest mistake of your entire life. I'm a dimera. You ever heard of us? Horace: Yeah, I know exactly who you are. Who your father is. I also know you have nothing to do with that family...so sorry, fella. No one's gonna be busting down those doors any time soon. Melanie: Are you sure about that? Horace: [Chuckles] You are quite feisty, aren't you? I like that in a girl. Chad: You leave her alone. Horace: Fine. As long as your site is running, I will stay as far away as possible. Chad: You could have any website. Leave us alone. Horace: No can do. I already have a system in place, accounts lined up... addresses, encrypted info that we can't afford to lose. Too much time and money has gone into this, and I can't let that go to waste. So no matter what you do, I will get what I want. Melanie: So he's supposed to be your cover forever. Are you crazy? Horace: You want me to tell you about the alternative? Gabi: Hey, are you okay? Abigail: Yeah. I'm sorry that I panicked. What are we supposed to do? I mean, we cannot handle this ourselves. We have to go to the police. Will: We are not going to the police, abigail. You saw the text, and if we do that, chad and melanie could die. Sonny: I keep getting calls from bo. Will: Rafe calls me too. They might know something. Abigail: Okay, well, if they know already, then what's the difference? They could help us! Gabi: What if they don't know? Sonny: They're here. It's too late. They're here, they're here. Will: [Whispering] Okay, we have a choice to make. We can go to the police, but we will risk our friends' lives. Or we can get outta here... and we can handle this on our own. Hope: Maggie! Maggie: Ah. Hope: Hi, Victor. Hi, maggie. Have you seen sonny and will and the girls? Maggie: Yeah, why? What's going on? Bo: We'll fill you in later. Maggie: Well, they were over there. They were over there last time i saw them. Hope: They're gone. Maggie: Are the kids in some kind of trouble? [Overlapping chatter] Abigail: My god, you guys, what if we did the wrong thing? What if we just ran from the only people that can really help us? Maybe we should go back, you know? Bo and hope were trying to get a hold of us earlier. Maybe they'll help us, they'll know what to do. Gabi: No, no, abigail, we did exactly what we had to do, okay? I mean, these gambler people or whatever they are--we don't even know if they're watching us right now. We don't know what they're capable of. Will: Hey, we need to get the rest of the house-- doors and windows. Abigail: I'm just... I'm just scared. Gabi: I know, me too. Bo: We believe these men are running a gambling operation through will's website which, as you may know, has been shut down. Jennifer: And we don't know who these guys are? Bo: Only that they mean business. Jack: We have to find abigail. Bo: Well, that answers my next question--you don't know where she is? Jennifer: No, I-I was with her. We were getting ready at the house, and that's the last time I saw her, and now she won't pick up her phone. Bo: Probably with the others. Victor: Fixing games? Gambling? Sonny's too smart to get involved in something like that. Hope: We need to find him and get to the bottom of this. Maggie: Oh. Hope: What? Maggie: We saw sonny earlier, and he was going off somewhere with abigail. I mean, I brushed it off at the time, chalked it up to nerves about her speech...but she was upset. Chad: Shoot me. Melanie: Chad, no. Chad: Come on. Shoot me... and your site will never go up. I handle all the tech. So you leave us alone, you let us go...and you'll have your website up within the our. Horace: [Laughing] Melanie: Chad! Oh, my-- ah! Let me go! Horace: What you get for thinking you're smarter than me. [Thud] Chad: Ooh! Horace: And that's what you get for telling such a stupid lie. I told you I know who you are. I also know exactly what you're not. Sorry, kid, you're no einstein. Will horton's the brains of your operation...not you. If you want your friend will to see you walk again... he'll hurry the hell up. Let her go. Melanie: Are you okay? Horace: 'Cause the clock is ticking. Melanie: Oh, my god. Hey, look at me. Look at me. Bo: They were all here at one time, and now they disappeared. Hope: And melanie and chad haven't been seen since this afternoon. Bo, I'm worried. I don't have a good feeling. Bo: Yeah. I'll put out an apb. Artie: You--you guys are cops, right? Bo: Yeah. Hope: What's wrong? Artie: I'm in a lot of trouble. I-I was working on a gambling site, and there were gamblers and games were fixed...and the tall kid is gone. They're after me. You have to help me. Bo: Whoa, whoa, slow down. Start from the beginning. Artie: There's no time! We have to move or--or-- this will happen to me. Hope: I'm calling rafe. Rafe: Bo and hope found a guy. Apparently, he got a text message with a photo in it... a photo of chad and melanie jonas being held at gunpoint. Carrie: Oh, my god. Rafe: Yeah. And in the meantime, will and sonny have all but disappeared. No one knows where they are. Carrie: You don't--you don't think that they're in danger too? Rafe: I don't know, I don't-- I just... Carrie: What are you gonna tell sami? Rafe: I don't know. Sami's in chicago with madison right now, and I don't want to keep this from her. But at the same time, I don't wanna tell her anything when... you know, after what happened with Johnny, it's just... Carrie: Yeah, you don't want to worry her for no reason. Rafe: God, I hope it is for no reason. Sonny: All right, we have to do something. Can't just keep sitting around. Will: We are doing something, sonny--I'm gonna put the site back up before it's too late. Sonny: No, no, no no. Will: What are you doing? Sonny: Even if we put the site back up, how do we know they're gonna keep their promise, huh? They could still kill chad and melanie. Will: Then what do we do? Sonny...what do you think we should do? Sonny: We're gonna find 'em...and we're gonna take care of this ourselves. Melanie: Come here. Come here. Zig: I mean, you got him good, boss, it was just-- Horace: I did, didn't I? Zig: Yeah. Horace: That'll teach the little punk to lie to me. Zig: When are we gonna let 'em go? I mean...we can't keep 'em here
