Emma tells Spencer that she thinks someone is after her because she heard that Rafe Kovich ran them off the road on purpose because someone told him to. Spencer says he knows who, but he can't tell her because it would put her in danger. Spencer's driver, Chandler, watches the kids from a nearby table. Sam asks Patrick why he didn't mention what Silas told him about Crichton-Clark. He says he didn't think it was relevant. Patrick is about to tell her something about that he found out the day they went to Crichton-Clark, but Emma interrupts them, yelling that Spencer knows what happened with the car accident. Sam promises that she will protect him and Emma. Spencer names Luke. Dante and Lulu wake up chained to the walls in a room at Crichton-Clark. Maxie is chained to the wall in another room. Victor takes a blood sample from the injury on Nathan's face and then his men put him in the room with Maxie and chain him to the wall. Nathan says he thinks they are at the facility that his sister was in when she was in the coma: Crichton-Clark. He tells her that as far as he knows, Levi is still alive. He reveals that the man in charge is Victor Cassadine. She asks him if he can forgive her for ignoring all his warnings about Levi and getting them all into this situation. He says there is nothing to forgive because she was conned. She reveals that she almost stopped her wedding because of him. Dante and Lulu try to figure out why Levi/Peter said Lulu was important to his plan. Dante asks her if she hasn't noticed that her father has been a little odd since leaving Miscavige. He reveals that Luke is a person of interest in a police investigation. The door opens and Lulu is shocked by who she sees. Britt tells Nikolas that his great-uncle, Victor, might be Nathan's father. Obrecht accuses Anna of trying to eliminate her family one by one, first Faison and now Nathan. Anna denies killing Faison. Britt warns Anna not to underestimate Obrecht because she can be lethal when someone she loves is in danger. She reveals that Obrecht told her that Anna killed Faison. Anna tells Britt and Nikolas about her history with Faison. Obrecht calls Victor. Victor asks her if Nathan is his son. She says that is a nonsensical question. He tells her that he doesn't need to get the answer from her, because he is getting a DNA test, and if he finds out that she kept his son from him, she will answer for it. While Anna is telling her story to Britt and Nikolas, Obrecht bursts in and says she thinks she knows where the hostages are.
Spencer: Emma, what's gotten you so scared? Emma: Someone's after me. Spencer: What do you mean? Emma: I heard my dad talking to aunt Elizabeth. That boy who drove us off the road, Rafe Kovich -- they say he did it on purpose because someone told him to. Spencer: Someone told him to do it? Emma: Nobody knows who it was. Spencer: I think I do. Emma: What do you mean? Who was it? Patrick: I don't think I left anything out. Nothing on purpose, anyway. Sam: Patrick, why didn't you tell me what you found out about Crichton-Clark? Silas said that he told you that he found a card in Rafe's things. Why wouldn't you tell me that? [Beeps] Lulu: Dante? Dante: Lulu. Lulu. Lulu. Are you okay? Lulu: I don't know. Oh, God. Where the hell are we? Anna: I'm just as frustrated as you are, Mac. Not only is it Maxie and Lulu, but two of my best detectives have disappeared, as well, and I have an entire swat team recovering from a gas attack, no leads as to who is behind it. I'm sorry. Am I yelling? I didn't mean to. I know. I know. Of course. You and Felicia are scared. Of course I know. All right. It's unanimous. We're all worried. Nikolas: I don't know how much more of this I can take. Maxie and Lulu have been missing for days, Dante and Nathan locate them, now everybody's missing. This is insane. Britt: I know. I know. But if anyone can get to the bottom of this, it's Anna. So we just need to trust her and stay out of her way and let her focus on doing her job. Nikolas: Okay. Britt: Mother, the commissioner's busy. She does not have time for you right now. Anna: Everyone is demanding answers from me, Mac, and I don't have any. This case has to break soon, before someone snaps. Too late. Maxie: Hello? Hello?! Can anyone hear me?! Nathan: Maxie! Maxie: Nathan? Nathan: What the hell are you doing to her?! Maxie: I'm in here! Help me! Dante: Anything familiar about this place? Lulu: It looks like general hospital. Dante: Yeah. It's some kind of medical facility. How are you feeling? Lulu: My head hurts. Dante: Yeah, mine, too. Lulu: We were drugged or something, right? Dante: I don't know. I don't know. Last thing I remember is holding you, getting you away from Dunkleman. Lulu: I knew you'd find me. Dante: Well, I wasn't gonna let him take you away. Lulu: You're my hero. Dante: Yeah, some hero. Look at us. How did we get in this place from Dunkleman's safe house? Lulu: Those canisters came in the doorway. There was some kind of white vapor. Dante: Yeah, it was gas. They gassed us, and knocked us out. Lulu: Who? Scribner was in custody, and you shot Levi. Dante: Well, it's just one more thing we don't know -- like what the hell happened to the backup? Lulu: Wait. Where is Maxie? Maxie: Nathan? Nathan: Maxie? Maxie: I'm in here! Help me! Nathan: Maxie, I'm coming! Victor: That's quite enough. Anna: I have to call you back. Okay, so, um, this is how this is gonna go -- I'm gonna ignore your unannounced visit. You're gonna turn right around and leave. Dr. Obrecht: I'm not going anywhere. Anna: I'm in the middle of a manhunt. I don't have time for you or your ravings. I don't. Dr. Obrecht: Make time. Did you think you could get away with this -- that I would just look the other way while you destroy my family one by one? Anna: I-I-I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just not in the mood for your histrionics. Dr. Obrecht: You've taken my son away. Anna: Oh, Detective West. Yeah. I mean, apparently, he disappeared from a crime scene, along with his partner and two female hostages. Dr. Obrecht: You put my son in harm's way. You targeted him because he's mine. Anna: He's an exemplary officer. I hired him months before I knew that he -- and before, apparently, I think he even had any idea that he had the misfortune of being related to you. He asked to go on this case, and I would have assigned him to it regardless, you know. Dr. Obrecht: Exactly. You want my son to risk his life, and how perfect for you. If he dies in the line of duty, then no one can accuse you of wanting him dead, but I know better. Anna: No, my only objective is to bring Levi Dunkleman to justice and the safe return of all he kidnapped. Dr. Obrecht: The safe return of everyone except Nathan. Anna: What? Are you suggesting...that I'm using your family to hurt you? Oh, no, no, no. That's more your style, isn't it? Not mine. Dr. Obrecht: It didn't stop you with Cesar. Anna: No, right, it didn't, because he deserved the justice that came to him after the hell he put us through. Dr. Obrecht: You administer that justice to him, just like you did with Nathan. Anna: I have done nothing to Nathan! Dr. Obrecht: Wasn't it enough for you to kill Cesar? You have to rob me of my son, as well? Anna: For god's sake. I didn't kill Faison. Nikolas: Looks like your mother was out for blood. Britt: She is. It's not just Maxie and Lulu who are missing. It's Nathan, too. Nikolas: Yeah, I know. The boy your mother gave up at birth. Britt: I will never know what went through that woman's head -- how she could sacrifice her own son just for a shot at a relationship with my father. Nikolas: I know. As interesting as it is -- your mother being an intimidating woman at times -- until you realize just how poor her judgment is. I mean, leaving her own child for a man like Faison? Britt: I know, but it seems like she realizes the huge mistake it was. I mean, ever since the nurses' ball, she's been trying to reach out to Nathan and me, and now Nathan's gone. Nikolas: She feels she -- she missed her chance. Britt: She went on and on about Nathan yesterday -- how Anna put him in harm's way and making all these insane accusations about Anna, about my father, and your uncle -- how this is all part of some vendetta. Nikolas: My uncle? Britt: Victor. Nikolas: Oh. Right. Of course. Uh, victor's actually my great-uncle. For -- for a minute there, I thought you were talking about my uncle Stefan, but -- any-- anyway, what does -- what does victor have to do with Nathan and your mother? Britt: You may want to sit down for this. Emma: Bye, Cameron. Bye, Josslyn. Okay, what's going on? Spencer: Nothing, I swear. I never make any sense. Just ask my dad. May I buy you a soda? Emma: Oh, no, you were gonna tell me something. What was it? Spencer: Nothing. I swear. Emma: Then why'd you say anything about the accident at all? Spencer: Because I wanted you to talk to me. All you ever do is stare at Cameron, and I know he's your "boyfriend," but just once in a while, you can look at me. Emma: So you made up a lie about my baby brother? I thought you were my friend. Spencer: I am your friend. I'm the best friend you'll ever have. Emma: Then why'd you say you knew who wanted to hurt my family? Spencer: 'Cause I do. Emma: How do you know? Spencer: 'Cause someone told me. Sam: Why didn't you tell me that Silas found a Crichton-Clark business card in -- in Rafe's stuff? Patrick: I just didn't think it was important at the time. Sam: Why not? Patrick: To be honest, I thought maybe it was something, and then, obviously, I realized that... Sam: Did you realize that that's facility that Nina was at? Patrick: Yeah, exactly. I mean, that's what I'm saying. And then Silas said that he talked to Nina and that the card didn't belong to her and that he was gonna talk to Rosalie the nurse to see if it was hers. Sam: Well, he told me he talked to Rosalie, and -- and she said that she didn't know anything about it. Patrick: Really? Sam: Yeah. Patrick: Is there a chance that Rosalie and Nina are lying to Silas? Sam: Well, yes, there's always a chance that the two of them are lying, but I just -- I don't -- I don't -- I don't see the motivation here. Patrick: Okay, but what's more likely -- that they're lying to Silas or that Rafe got that business card on his own? Sam: I don't know, but if he did, I don't know what the hell he would be doing with it. Sam: I can't think of any reason why Rafe would have a business card for that creepy clinic. I don't -- I don't know. Maybe he did get it from Nina or Rosalie. Patrick: But they just said it wasn't theirs. Sam: I know, but maybe they're lying just to screw with me. I don't know. Maybe there is no connection. I have no idea. Patrick: Sam, there might be something to this. Sam: Such as? Hey, I feel like you're holding back. Emma: Someone told you the name of the person who wants to hurt my family? Spencer: Yes. Emma: Are you lying to me? Spencer: No, I wouldn't lie -- not about this. Emma: Then tell me who it was. Spencer: I can't. No one can know. Dante: Hey, look. I don't know how we got here or who brought us here, but Nathan could still be out there looking for us. Lulu: Yeah, I saw him when Levi had me in the doorway. Dante: Yeah, I sent him around back to try and set up an ambush, but we had to go in without him. Look, he may not have been gassed. Anyway, Anna knows we're missing, and she's gonna have every cop in the state looking for us. Lulu: What if -- I don't want to be negative, but whoever grabbed us is obviously pretty sophisticated. What if they cover their tracks? Anna may have no idea where we are or -- or even which direction to look. Nikolas: So, my uncle victor is your brother Nathan's father? Britt: Maybe. Nikolas: Maybe? Britt: You know my mother. You can never get a straight answer out of her. Nikolas: But -- but what did she say to you that made you think that she and victor were lovers? Britt: She was on this paranoid rant about my father, which I know is not unusual, but she insisted that Anna and Robert Scorpio never returned him to Steinmauer. She's convinced that he never made it out of their custody alive. Nikolas: I don't think there's any way that Anna executed Faison. Britt: I know it sounds crazy, but she claims she has evidence -- some classified file that she got from your uncle. Nikolas: What would my uncle be doing with classified files? Britt: And why would he be giving it to my mother? Nikolas: Did she offer any explanation about, I mean... Britt: She claims he carries a torch for her. Nikolas: Ah. And that's why you think that victor is his father? Britt: Well, when I asked, she dodged for a moment, and then she just shut me down, which made me think that she was hiding something. What am I talking about? This is my mother. She's always hiding something. Nikolas: Did she ever mention anything about Nathan's father? Britt: Rarely. But the way she reacted, I swear she was almost flustered. Nikolas: Your mother? Britt: I know, right? So what do you think? Could victor have been involved with my mother? Nikolas: Yeah, I guess. I think it's possible. I mean, up until just recently, I hadn't seen victor in years, so who knows what he's been up to and with whom? Dr. Obrecht: You still won't admit that you killed Cesar? Anna: Uh, there's nothing to admit. Dr. Obrecht: There are no cameras here...no listening devices. It's just us -- my word against yours. Why not own your victory, claim the blood on your hands? Anna: Put you out of your misery? Give you closure, even if it is only the finality of grief? I don't know. Why on earth would I offer up a resolution to you? Dr. Obrecht: I know you killed Cesar. Anna: Believe what you want. Dr. Obrecht: If you didn't murder him, prove it. Produce him. Anna: I am not gonna waste any more time indulging your bizarre fetish with this sociopath. I have actual work to do. Dr. Obrecht: Yeah. You have to cover your tracks. You think that badge you carry will help you cover yourself? Anna: Have to find your son. Remember him -- the one you left with your sister so you could go running off after Faison? God, you have had decades, woman, to make things right with Nathan, but did you? No. You used your twisted love to focus on a man who never wanted you, and you're still doing it now. Nathan is out there risking his life, doing his duty, and you are using his disappearance as a way to dig for answers on Faison. Dr. Obrecht: [Crying] That isn't true. Anna: Yes, it is true. Nathan is a means to an end for you. Well, he isn't for me. He is one of my finest officers, and he has become a good friend. Dr. Obrecht: My son has no need of your friendship. Anna: Well, and he doesn't need you, period, because you're a criminal and a sociopath, and you are standing in the way of a police investigation, so I am gonna ask you to take your pathetic obsession, get the hell out of my office before I have you thrown out. Dr. Obrecht: Don't you dare. Anna: Are you kidding me?! I would love every minute of it. Get out! Dr. Obrecht: Do you think this is over? Anna: Yeah, I hope to hell it is. Get out! Dr. Obrecht: That you could rob me of my son and Cesar? Both of them? This isn't over. Nathan: What are you looking at? Victor: I'm not quite sure. Nathan: Where's Maxie? Victor: You want to see Maxie? By all means. All you had to do was ask. Take him. [Buzzes] Maxie: Nathan! Oh, my God, what did they do to you? Guard: Step back! Nathan: I'm fine. Guard: I said step back! Maxie: No! Guard: We'll beat him unconscious, and you'll have no one to talk to. Maxie: No, please, don't do that. Guard: Everybody comfy? Maxie: Nathan! Don't make us look bad for our director again. Maxie: You coward. You would be too afraid to hit him if he wasn't locked to a wall! But he is. Maxie: Oh, my God. How bad are you hurt? Nathan: [Chuckles] Not that bad. Maxie: You are so lying. Nathan: So, this is what that means. Maxie: What what means? Nathan: "Sight for sore eyes." Dante: Don't let Anna hear you talk like that. She's gonna think you lost faith in her. Lulu: You know I have faith in Anna and the PCPD. I just -- I don't like being away from Rocco. Dante: I don't like being away from him either. But he's got my mother. He's got my father. He's got Nikolas there babysitting for him. Lulu: I know. You're right. I'm -- I'm grateful. I just -- Britt and her mother kept us apart from him for so long, and every second we're away just feels like forever. Dante: Hey. Trust me when I say that he's gonna be fine, and you'll be back with him before you know it. Lulu: I honestly don't know what I'd do without you. Dante: Let's hope you don't have to find out. Lulu: I love you. Dante: I love you, too. We're gonna get out of this and so will Maxie. Maxie: I'm really glad to see you. Nathan: Are you okay? Maxie: Aside from a killer headache and this adorable accessory, yeah, I'm fine. I just wish I knew how I got here. Have you seen Dante or Lulu? Nathan: Not since I've been here. But I'm pretty sure they're okay. They were gassed with the same stuff they used on you. Maxie: Gas? What are you talking about? Nathan: Ah, it's a long story. Has anybody been in to talk to you yet? Maxie: No. It's just me and my chain. I don't know what coco Chanel was thinking. Chains are hideous. Nathan: All right, well, we got to get out of here. Maxie: W-where do you think you're going? You're bleeding, and you can barely breathe. Nathan, for all we know, that Neanderthal broke your ribs. Nathan: I'm good. Maxie: I think that you should rest before we start in on plan "B." Nathan: Well, we can't stay here. Maxie: Do you even know where "here" is? Nathan: I think I got a look when they took the blindfold off. It looks like the facility that they held Nina in when she was in her coma, Crichton-Clark. Patrick: Sam, I haven't told you everything. Sam: About the clinic? Patrick: Yeah. Sam: What? Do you think it has something to do with the accident? Patrick: I don't know. I-I don't see how, exactly, but... Sam: But what? Whatever it is -- whatever's troubling you, you can trust me. We can figure this out together. Two heads are better than one. It's pretty simple. Patrick: No, it's not simple. It's not simple at all. Emma: Why can't you tell me who hurt my family? Spencer: Because you have to trust me on this. Emma: My baby brother died. Don't you care? Spencer: I care. Who started the Gabriel fund? Me. Emma: Then tell me what you know. Spencer: I can't. Something bad will happen. Emma: Like what? Spencer: The person who took away your baby brother could do the same thing to you. Nikolas: I was always unclear on what victor does for a living or who he associates himself with, but if he was your mother's lover, and Nathan your brother...is their son, then that makes Nathan my -- Britt: Don't worry. We are not related. Nikolas: I'm just doing the math in my head here. Britt: I know, but if you and Nathan are related, it's through victor. Nathan I are related through our mother, which makes us almost strangers. Nikolas: That was a close call there for a minute. Dr. Obrecht: Anna Devane is a self-righteous, murderous cow, and she'll pay for what she's done. Britt: What happened? Dr. Obrecht: What always happens. The police are corrupt and ineffectual. They cannot be relied upon to find your brother, so I'll enlist someone who can. Victor: To my knowledge, Liesl Obrecht only had one child -- a daughter, Britta. Nathan: I was raised by her sister, Magda Westbourne, also known as Madeline west. I was given to her right after I was born. Victor: But that doesn't make sense. All Liesl wanted to do is to give Faison a son. If she hid you from Faison... who is your father? [Cell phone rings] Victor: Yes? Dr. Obrecht: Victor. It's Liesl. Victor: What a coincidence. [Chuckles] I was just thinking of you. Victor: Liesl, what a nice surprise. It's so nice to hear your voice. Dr. Obrecht: And so good to hear yours. Victor: And here I was afraid that we wouldn't talk again because of the way we left things. You rejected me. Dr. Obrecht: I never meant to give you the impression that we couldn't be friends. Victor: So, we're agreed? We start afresh? Dr. Obrecht: Absolutely. Clean slate. Victor: So, what is this -- a friendly chat? Shall we talk about the weather, the coming opera season? Dr. Obrecht: Actually, victor, I-I need your help. Victor: Oh, I'm afraid I'm fresh out of embryos. Dr. Obrecht: I'm trying to locate someone. Victor: Oh, and you turned to me. This someone must be very important to you. Dr. Obrecht: He's a police detective -- Nathan west. Victor: I thought you would have learned by now to keep a wide berth with law enforcement. Dr. Obrecht: Unfortunately, it couldn't be avoided. Victor: Oh, and why is that? Dr. Obrecht: The reasons are irrelevant. All that matters is that I find him. Victor: Well, why don't you use the services of the police? I'm sure they'd be interested in finding one of their own. Dr. Obrecht: They can't be trusted...unlike you. Victor: [Laughs] You flatter me. Dr. Obrecht: You have means they lack. Victor: Ah, Liesl. How can I refuse you? Of course I'll help you... Dr. Obrecht: I knew I could always rely on you. Victor: ...On one condition. Dr. Obrecht: What condition? Victor: Tell me -- this Nathan west... is he my son? Maxie: You think that we're locked up in some sort of convalescent home? Nathan: Crichton-Clark is a state-of-the-art facility, though. They do more than just look after coma victims. They do research and... I must have visited Nina here a million times back when she was in her coma. I could probably walk from the reception area to her old room in my sleep. Maxie: So do you think there's some sort of connection between Levi and your sister? Nathan: Mm. I-I don't see how. Aah. Aah. Maxie: Okay, so that hurts. Nathan: Yeah. A little. Maxie: There's no bandages or water around here. I could probably rip up some of my clothes. Nathan: No, no, no. Don't, uh -- don't sacrifice your wardrobe. Maxie: Are you kidding? This is hostage attire, so thoughtfully supplied by Levi or peter Harrell or whatever the hell he's calling himself. I'm never gonna be able to remember him as anything but Levi the lying pig. Anyway, when I'm out of here, first thing I'm doing -- burning this outfit. Nathan: Do that when you're out of here. You need it for now. Besides, probably hurt less if you... Maxie: Just leave you alone? Nathan: [Chuckles] Ow. Yeah. Maybe just less nursing. Not that I don't appreciate it. Maxie: It's okay. I suck as a nurse, amongst other things. It just seems extra creepy to leave you suffering in a place that's supposed to be a medical facility. Although I'm sure that's a bonus to Levi. He's gonna show up in here sooner or later and rub our faces in it, if Dante didn't kill him. Nathan: Yeah, well, to the best of my knowledge, he's still alive. We'll probably get better answers from the guy in charge. It's Nikolas Cassadine's uncle victor. Anna: So you haven't even made contact with Frisco at all? Yeah, I know. I understand he's on assignment, but I'm just thinking that -- you know, okay, yeah. I'm just thinking that maybe he knows something about peter Harrell or -- or his son, you know, Levi, and that it's something that's gonna break this case. Yeah, okay, as soon as you hear from him. Yeah. Okay. Get back to me. Thanks, Robert. Yeah. Okay. I-I know you're -- you're wanting an update, and all I can tell you is the state police and the FBI are joining the search and that nobody is going to stop until we bring Lulu and Nathan and everyone else home safe. As soon as I know something, you will, too. Nikolas: Okay. Thank you. And earlier, I apologize for letting Obrecht just kind of blow right... Anna: Oh, yeah, I can handle Obrecht. Don't worry about that. Britt: I wouldn't underestimate my mother. Anna: Yeah. Britt: She can be lethal when she thinks someone she loves is in danger. Anna: So can I. Nathan was on assignment. I mean, he understands the risks. Britt: I'm not just talking about my brother. Anna: What, actually, did your mother tell you? Britt: That you killed my father. Lulu: Don't hurt yourself. Dante: It's no use anyway. We're stuck in here. I just want to know what the hell is going on. Lulu: All I know is that Levi said that this wasn't just about Maxie or her mother's jewelry -- that it's about me, too. Dante: Okay, so let's find out how you're connected to this thing so we can figure out who the hell we're dealing with right now. Lulu: Uh, well, uh start at the beginning. What do we know about Levi? Dante: Well, his name isn't Levi. Peter Harrell, and his father is peter Harrell senior, and he was engaged to Felicia 30 years ago, and he was after the original Aztec treasure. Lulu: And my parents were involved? Dante: Yeah, but according to Anna, it was just -- it was mostly your father. Lulu: Okay, so, maybe Levi is coming after me to take revenge on my dad. Dante: Well, it wouldn't be the first time Luke did something that came back to bite you in the ass. Lulu: Does he even know that this is happening? Last I heard, Tracy left him on their honeymoon because he supposedly cheated on her. Dante: You don't believe that, do you? Lulu: I don't know. If this was five years ago, maybe, but I can -- lost count of the amount of times my dad has cleared Tracy's bank account and then hit the road, but he's accepted that Tracy is his soul mate. He -- he loves her. He's committed to her. He's -- he's a different man. And he's not capable of something so treacherous. Dante: Are you completely sure of that? Spencer: I can't tell you what you want to know. It could get you hurt or worse. Just please forget I said anything. Let it go. Sam: Hey, what is not so simple? What aren't you telling me about the clinic? Patrick: Sam, when we went there to find out information on Nina -- when we went together -- Emma: Daddy! Patrick: Emma, just give me a second. Emma: No, this can't wait. Spencer: Emma, please. Emma: Spencer knows about the car accident. He knows who made it happen. Lulu: I know that look. What are you trying to say about my dad? Anna: Jordan spoke to Julian's boss on the phone. Dante: She get anything? Anna: She thinks she recognized his voice. Luke Spencer. Dante: You don't think your dad's been acting kind of strange lately? I mean, he marries Tracy in the most public way possible, he cheats on her on the honeymoon, and then he disappears? Lulu: Well, the disappearing is not strange. He's been doing that all my life. Dante: Okay, fair enough. You don't think he's been a little bit off since he got out of Miscavige? Lulu: He was locked up for weeks. They pumped him full of drugs. Anyone would be a mess. Dante: You think that's all it is? Lulu: Don't you? Dante: [Sighs] No. I don't. I think there's more to it. Patrick: Emma, we know what caused the accident. Rafe was driving his uncle's car, and he ran us off the road. Emma: But somebody made him do it. Patrick: Why would you say that? Emma: I heard you and aunt Elizabeth talking about it, so I told Spencer, and he already knew. Patrick: Is that true? Spencer, did you tell Emma that you know that somebody put Rafe up to running us off the road? Hey, this is important. If this is true, you need to tell me. Or did you make this up? Spencer: Yes, sir. That's what I did. I made it up. Emma: That's a lie. You swore to me that you were telling the truth. Now he's changing his story. He doesn't want to say anything 'cause he's scared of what'll happen. Patrick: Look, Spencer -- Sam: Hey. Okay, wait. Wait a minute. I think it's time for a cousin-to-cousin talk. How about it, Spencer? Spencer: You have to listen to me. Sam: Hey, no, no, no. Hey, listen. Sit down. Spencer: I made it up. Sam: Listen to me, please. Can I ask you a couple of questions? When did you stop trusting your dad? When did you stop trusting me? I mean, did we make you feel like that we weren't protecting you or something? Spencer: No. Sam: Then why do you look so scared? I feel like you look like you're alone, and you got to know that you're with one of the good guys. You got Patrick and Emma and me and your dad, and the good guys always stick together. You know that, right? We tell the truth, and we stand up for people who can't defend themselves, like Emma's little brother, Gabriel. Good guys always win in the end, and the only way that you start to lose is when you know something bad and you don't say anything about it. I mean, is that -- is that what's going on? Are you not telling us something? Nikolas: We know that your time is limited and that Faison is locked up in Steinmauer, but -- Britt: Not according to my mother. Apparently, these classified files that she's mentioned contain evidence that my father was never sent back to Steinmauer. I know the priority here is to find my brother and Lulu and the rest, but until these allegations are put to rest, she's never going to leave you alone. Look, I-I barely knew my father. The few times I spent with him, there was no love lost. So this isn't some sentimental quest. I just want answers. Is there any truth to my mother's suspicion? Dr. Obrecht: I'm sorry. I must have misheard you. Did you ask me if Nathan west is your son? Victor: It's a simple question. Dr. Obrecht: It's entirely nonsensical. Victor: What a low opinion you must have of me to think that I could be deceived so easily. I already know that Nathan is your son. Dr. Obrecht: So? That doesn't mean you have a claim on him. I asked you for help, not an interrogation. Victor: And you'll get neither. I don't need you to get the answers that I require, but hear me. If the answers I get do not please me, if I find out that you've kept my son from me, there will be a reckoning for you, Liesl. Dr. Obrecht: Victor, please. Victor: Please don't grovel, Liesl. It doesn't suit you. But I'll be in touch...after the DNA comparison. Dr. Obrecht: How were you able to procure a DNA sample from Nathan? Victor: Mm, quite easily. One of the perks of being the head of WSB. So, I will say goodbye for now. But I'll be seeing you. Maxie: Nikolas has an uncle victor, and Levi is working for him? Nathan: It looks that way. Victor's men are the ones who gassed you guys. And they were gonna kill me, too, until they figured out who my mother was. Remind me to thank her for that when we get out of here. Maxie: If we get out of here. Nathan: Oh, we're getting out of here. It's just a question of when. Maxie: You're just saying that to cheer me up. But we both know we could die in here, and it would be all my fault. Nathan: How is any of this your fault? Maxie: Because I wouldn't listen to you when you said that Levi was no good for me and I should cut him loose. I mean, I ignored all of your warnings and accused you of being unfair. What a joke. Nathan: Maxie, Levi's a con man. He was playing -- he's good at it. Maxie: But I couldn't see that you were just trying to save me from myself. I was gonna marry him, Nathan. I marched down that aisle, and all Levi wanted from me was my mom's Aztec jewelry, and because I was too stubborn and insecure and stupid to listen to you, we're all trapped here -- you, me, probably Dante and Lulu. And who knows what's gonna happen? All because of me. If I could trade my life for yours, I would. Nathan: Don't talk like that. Maxie: At least I would know that I have done something good. I have no right to even ask this, and I know what answer I deserve, but are you ever gonna be able to forgive me? Anna: Your father chased after me for most of my life. Uh, he -- he blackmailed me, terrorized me. He tormented just about everyone I love, all in an effort to, you know, make me his or something. I refused him over and over until one day, he kidnapped my daughter, and he almost committed mass murder in my name. So, finally, after decades of harassment, I was able to turn the tables. Robert and I -- we -- we -- we rescued our daughter, and we apprehended Faison, and we had to make a choice. Do we incarcerate him again, as we had done before so many times, with the knowledge that he has pretty much made his way out of every prison we've ever put him in? Or do we find a more lasting solution? Britt: So what did you do? Dr. Obrecht: Commissioner! Anna: I told you what would happen if you -- Dr. Obrecht: Listen to me! Nathan and the others -- I think I know where they are. Victor: The lab is waiting for these two samples for DNA comparison. The test gets top priority. Woman: Yes, sir. Victor: Great. Ohh. Nathan: There's nothing to forgive. Maxie: That is so not true. There are so many things that I said and did that I wish I could take back -- so many times I was unfair to you, and you were nothing but decent to me, things I blamed you for that weren't even remotely your fault, or times I accused you of lying when I was the one who was lying to myself, refusing to see what was right in front of me. Nathan: Okay, fine. Fine. You're forgiven. Maxie: No, that's not fair. Nathan: What's not fair? Me forgiving you? Maxie: You can't just let me off the hook so easily. Nathan: Yeah, I can. It's my decision, and there's no hook. Maxie: Is this some sort of Zen thing? Nathan: [Chuckles] God, if I wasn't allergic to new-age spirituality before, I certainly am now. [Both chuckle] Nathan: Look, Max, Levi is a criminal, okay? He's a con man, and he's got your head so messed up that you don't think that you're perfect just the way you are, and it killed me to watch you second-guess yourself, to watch Levi tear you down, piece by piece, or worse -- to teach you to do the tearing yourself. Okay, I can't watch you do that anymore. I can't watch you hurt yourself anymore. No more, especially not over me. Maxie: Um, you are beaten and bruised and chained to a wall right now because of me. Nathan: Well, technically, it's because of those two guards out there. Maxie: No, Nathan, I mean it. If it wasn't for me, we would all be safe and at home. If I had listened to my heart and not gone through with that stupid wedding... Nathan: Why did you not want to go through with the wedding? Because you saw Levi for who he really is? Maxie: No. It was because of you. Spencer: You have to listen. I want to tell you. I really do. But I can't. Patrick: Why not? Spencer: Because I promised I wouldn't. Sam: Who did you promise? Spencer: The person who did the car accident said if I squealed, he'd make sure he hurt Emma for real. Patrick: Spencer, I don't have to tell you how serious that is. Now, if that is true, then you need to tell us so we can stop them. Sam: Yeah, we can't help you unless you tell us. You have to tell us. Emma: Please, Spencer. Patrick: Come on, buddy. Tell us who it was. Sam: Spencer, we'll protect you and Emma. You don't have to worry about that. Spencer: It was Luke Spencer. Lulu: You think there's more to my dad's behavior than what happened at Miscavige? Dante: Before Maxie's not-wedding, Anna got me to start an investigation. Lulu: Something to do with my dad? Dante: He's a person of interest. Lulu: For what? What does Anna think he did? Dante: It's complicated, baby, but, really, there isn't even that much evidence against him. Lulu: Just tell me. What is my dad being investigated for? Dante: He could potentially be involved in -- [Buzzes] Dante: Someone's coming. Lulu: Oh, my God. [NEXT_ON] Sonny: Carly, can you not go? Spencer: That's the truth, the whole truth, so help me God. Nathan: I do have feelings for you, Maxie. Peter/Levin: (to Victor) When do I get what I want? Nikolas: (to Liesl) You better start talking right now! Lulu: It's not possible.
