Epiphany: Where is Elizabeth Webber?
Regina: Left for break and never came back.
Epiphany: Nurse Crowell?
Regina: Expected.
Epiphany: When?
Regina: A half-hour ago.
Epiphany: Dr. Quartermaine?
Regina: M.I.A.
Epiphany: I have a little heart attack, and I come back, and the entire hospital has gone to the devil!
Regina: Are you sure you're ready to come back? It's good to have you back.
Epiphany: You won't be saying that by the end of the night!
Patrick: Welcome back.
Robin: Welcome back.
Epiphany: Okay, feel the love. Looks like nothing's changed around here.
Patrick: Oh, I wouldn't say that.
[Knock on door]
Carly: Sonny?
Sonny: Sorry, no news on Michael.
Carly: He's been gone 48 hours and it feels like he's been missing 48 days.
Sonny: Just -- I just wanted to make sure that you and Morgan are doing fine.
Carly: He's doing great. Morgan's okay.
Sonny: What's -- what is that for?
Carly: Um -- just working on a little project, that's all.
Sonny: Do you really needed a -- a little project right now?
Carly: It's kind of unavoidable. I'm pregnant.
Maxie: I can't believe you get service on that stupid mechanical lap extension, and you can't even use it to get us out of here. Whereas, I could call Mac and have him rescue us from this hellhole, but I don't even get service.
Spinelli: Well, keep trying. Or -- something, whatever. Just -- while the Jackal, P.I., remains intent on accessing the department of water sites so I can override the system, raise the gate, and free us.
Maxie: Yeah, that's how you got us into this mess. And when I say "mess," I do mean "mess"!
[Thud]
[Maxie gasps]
Maxie: Oh -- well, now that my calling circle has gone down the drain, what are we going to do?
Nadine: Where are we?
Nikolas: The end of all things.
Nadine: I thought we were looking for Emily so she could help you.
Nikolas: We were, but I decided to use your good old Aunt Rayleen, instead. You told me that she said if you want to be close to the dead, go to the place they die. Well, this is where Sam shot Diego. Though he survived, he won't again.
Lucky: I'm okay. I'm okay, go. Sam?
Elizabeth: Jason?
Lucky: Sam!
Elizabeth: Are you okay?
Lucky: Sam! Sam!
Sam: Help!
Lucky: Sam?
Sam: Help! Help!
Sam: Help.
Sam: Oh!
[Phone rings]
Spinelli: The wounded blond one should answer her phone and ask for the very help she complained was beyond her reach.
Maxie: Are you crazy? We're in a sewer. My phone is in sewer water. Not only am I not picking it up, but it's not going anywhere near my face or my ears or my mouth!
Spinelli: Okay, you are the one that wanted to capture the real text message killer.
Maxie: Yeah, Spinelli, not be captured by him, okay? What are we going to do if the text message killer walks by? If we see Alcazar, Diego? Then what?
Spinelli: Ooh, what -- what if you answered your phone?
[Ring]
Spinelli: Oh, God.
Nadine: So what exactly are we looking for?
Nikolas: Any sign that Diego might be living here, while keeping an eye out for Diego himself.
Nadine: Oh. I can be good at that. Aunt Rayleen used to say I had eyes like a potato. You know, like eyes everywhere, including the back of my head. I do have this feeling, though -- whenever my elbow itches, someone usually -- never mind.
Nikolas: Oh. We should've brought a flashlight. Hmm.
Nadine: I'm sure I've got one in here somewhere. I know, I -- I know -- I look like some baby store bag lady. It's my survival kit for pediatrics. When I was 9, I couldn't grasp the concept of why I wasn't allowed in the boy scouts, which was just a ploy to be closer to the neighbor boy I had a crush on. So I borrowed all of his manuals hoping I could find some loophole or something, and I wound up learning so many practical skills and tenets that I realized I don't have much use for boys after all. Oh, yes! Ta-da! That's the best I can do.
Nikolas: I'll take this. Wouldn't happen to have a gun in there anywhere, would you?
Nadine: I know you hate this guy for what he did to Emily.
Nikolas: Yes, I do, and for what he did to my son, Alexis, Sam, Georgie -- what?
Nadine: I'm not excusing him; I'm just saying that he probably feels justified for what happened to him and his family.
Nikolas: That still makes him a killer.
Nadine: Aren't you using the same logic to justify killing him?
Peg: Not too much for you, was it?
Michael: No.
Peg: Well, excuse me -- you look not very hardy, city kid. Spoiled. Probably the only big household chore you had was dropping your designer underwear in a hamper. Thanks for helping with the wood.
Michael: You didn't really give me much choice. You said you'd call the police if I left.
Peg: Isn't it time you called home and told them why you ran away? Huh? Why did you?
Michael: I shot somebody.
Sonny: Pregnant? I didn't know you could have more kids.
Carly: I didn't, either. Jax and I talked about it, and then one night, you know, we --
Sonny: I -- I know how they're made.
Carly: Yeah. Huh. Only you and Jason know about this.
Sonny: What about the boys?
Carly: Well, we wanted to tell Michael and Morgan the night Michael never came home, so that didn't happen. Look, Jason said Alcazar may still be alive, Sonny.
Sonny: There's a chance there's life on Mars, but that's not where Michael is. It's not just a coincidence that Kate was shot the same day Michael went missing, okay? The Zaccharas are behind this. Nobody else.
Jax: And what if you're wrong? What if you're wrong and it costs us Michael?
Ian: Huh-ho! Oh! Got demoted to nurse, huh?
Epiphany: That's no demotion. We're the heart of the hospital, and you're just the hands. Right?
Ian: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Epiphany: Oh, please. Like you do not recycle your cheesy come-on lines?
Patrick: Oh, underneath all that cheese lies a beating heart.
Epiphany: Say what?
Patrick: Seems our good Dr. Devlin here has some life-altering experiences since the old days, but he's not telling us what they are.
Ian: My God-given cue to say nothing.
Patrick: He's even lagging in doctor/nurse conquest. Hasn't even hit on Dr. Lee, our resident sex addict.
Epiphany: I don't need to hear this.
Patrick: There's a scorecard in one of the employee lockers -- who I'm not going to name, obviously. What are you doing here? I thought you left.
Ian: Oh, emergency page, but now I'm going to try to improve my score -- pinch a few hearts between here and cubicle #2.
Epiphany: Can I help you find something, doctor?
Patrick: I am not here officially. I'm two drinks in.
Robin: Oh, you hit Jake's already?
Patrick: Not hard enough. Just getting some homework.
Epiphany: Let's pretend that this is a hospital, and not some high school lunch room.
Patrick: Fine by me.
Robin: More fine by me. Can I --
Patrick: Actually, no, more fine by me.
Epiphany: Okay, what is your problem with each other now?
[Jazz music plays]
Spinelli's voice: [As Sam Spade] She was only a bird in a mildewed cage. I almost felt sorry for her. But it was getting so cold, I wasn't feeling much past my beezer, anyway. It was hard to keep my eyes off those getaway sticks of hers -- not that I'd be seeing them in action down here. We'd followed Alice down a rat hole this time, and there was no place to run. That's why I was half hoping she might head for my arms. I didn't care if it was true that she'd put a few holes of daylight in her sap of a husband for the missing mazuma. One brush of those lips, and I'd fetch whatever line she wanted to throw me. But something in the way she turned and looked at me said -
Maxie's voice: Why are you breathing down my neck with that stupid expression on your face?
Spinelli: Whew. Oh.
Nikolas: I don't care what I have to do, as long as Diego pays. Whatever -- I might die from this tumor, anyway.
Nadine: Or you could get help and live.
Nikolas: Without Emily, so --
Nadine: Huh. Okay, we're a little past this patient-nurse-boundary thing, so I'm going to tell you exactly what I think, okay?
Nikolas: Okay.
Nadine: I know you loved Emily, and I know you got robbed, and that's really sad. And if you want to go off and take an eye for an eye, then I can't stop you. But Emily will still be gone, and you'll be here. And you can wallow in this self-indulgence and waste any opportunity of joy coming your way, or you can move the hell on!
Nikolas: Oh, what, like -- like you have?
Nadine: What's that supposed to mean?
Nikolas: Huh. You -- you think that I'm so self-indulged, as you put it, that I don't hear the things you constantly say about loss and -- and loving someone and all that? About how much you wish you could -- you could be with them, or go back, and do it all over again? Listen, I think that you are an amazing nurse, a -- a compassionate, somewhat unique human being. But outside that hospital, your life doesn't go much beyond that locket around your neck, now, does it?
Nadine: That's mean.
Nikolas: But is it true?
Nadine: Sometimes.
Nikolas: More often than not? Who is it?
Nadine: No, it -- this is not a good time to be talking about it. It is too negative.
Nikolas: All right, fine. Then why don't you just leave? This is no place for you and your clown bag anyway. You and morality will just be in my way.
Nadine: Fine. I'll just drop me and my morality down some elevator shaft and be out of your way.
Nikolas: We're on the bottom floor.
Nadine: Ooh! Ugh! God! So stupid.
[Stomps foot twice]
Lucky: Hold on.
Sam: I can't.
Lucky: Why don't you just trust me?
Sam: Okay -- oh! Oh! Oh, you saved my life. You could've come over the ledge with me. You didn't have to do it.
Lucky: Yes. Yes, I did.
[Sam sighs]
[Siren]
Sam: Oh.
Alexis: Oh, by all means, come on in. It's not like I had the door closed for any particular reason.
Jerry: It's nice to see you, too, Alexis.
Alexis: Have you ever thought of knocking?
Jerry: Oh, come on. Why bother with formalities? I mean, if my memory serves me right, we passed any semblance of propriety months ago. Or do you give all your clients passionate kisses before leaving their hotel rooms?
Alexis: You kissed me.
Jerry: Oh, "to-may-to," "to-mah-to" -- I'm not here to debate who initiated what. But for the record, that kiss was anything but one-sided.
Alexis: I have work to do, so if you have a point, it'd be a good time to get to it.
Jerry: Good, good. I need you to -- to assess a financial transaction, a funds transfer from a foreign investor.
Alexis: You must have missed the sign that says "District Attorney" when you barged in here without knocking, because unless you have business that a district attorney would actually address, then I can't help you.
Jerry: Oh, well, the last time I checked, you were ill my primary counsel.
Alexis: Last time I checked, you were still a weapons smuggler and a hostage taker with underworld connections. So if you don't mind closing the door on your way out, I'd really appreciate it.
Jerry: Oh, come on. Whatever happened to the rule of law? I mean, even detainees have rights for legal representation in this country.
Alexis: You are absolutely correct about that -- which is why I'm going to find you another attorney. I know a lot of compet-- in fact, Diane Miller. A great reputation. She's a fun girl, too.
Jerry: Oh, yeah?
Alexis: And she has the proven ability to turn a blind eye to her client's moral failings.
Jerry: No, no, no, no, no. Diane Miller happens to be Sonny's attorney.
Alexis: Exactly my point, you see, because if she can bend the law for him, she can certainly do whatever it would take to fix your own problems.
Jerry: Oh, now, you see, I -- I wouldn't be nearly as comfortable with Diane Miller as I would be with you. Besides, you're much cuter.
Alexis: Fine. Fine. Then I'll find you somebody else. Here, here. He's a very nice attorney. You'll like him a lot, and he owes me a favor. Give him this. Tell him I'm collecting.
Jerry: That would defeat the general purpose.
Alexis: And what would that be exactly?
Jerry: Of spending time alone with you.
Patrick: Go ahead. Why don't you tell Epiphany what our problem is?
[Epiphany sighs]
Robin: I don't have a problem. I'm having a baby. And it's wonderful and joyous and life-affirming. And I can't wait to embrace it, because it's only going to bring more love and peace into my life.
Epiphany: Trust me, the peace doesn't start until they turn 18.
Robin: Oh, I know that. I mean, I can handle it. I realize that there's going to be a lot of kicking and crying and even some screaming, but better coming from the baby than from the father.
Sam: We were all so sure that Diego was dead after I shot him. And when -- when Alcazar held his son in his arms, grieving, he must have felt some sort of life. He told the cops that he was going to transport his body, and instead, he -- he rushed him off to save him. Diego said that he wanted revenge on everyone who hurt him, especially whoever was involved with killing his father.
Mac: The son is still alive, and the father -- so not only did Jason get away with murdering Lorenzo Alcazar, but he's also responsible for bringing this down on all of us.
Elizabeth: Mac, Jason saved both our lives.
Mac: They wouldn't have needed saving if Jason didn't kill Alcazar, which set his son on a path to revenge.
Lucky: Diego's still out there. The rest is just speculation. Let's just stick to what we know.
Mac: Fine, let's stick to what we know, Lucky. Tell me why my daughter is dead. Tell me why that beautiful, caring little girl was brutally murdered!
Sam: Mac, Mac, Mac -- maybe I -- maybe I can help you. Diego said that he was after Maxie because she sent him to prison. And then Georgie happened to get one of Maxie's texts and wound up in the park and saw Diego's face, and he had to kill her. The same thing happened with Leticia. Apparently, he was after Carly.
Mac: What about Coop Barrett?
Sam: Coop? He caught on, and Diego knew it. And Emily? Unfortunately, she was Jason's sister.
Mac: Something Jason's going to have to live with the rest of his life.
Lucky: Mac --
Mac: What did the Alcazars have against you?
Elizabeth: I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Mac: Where was that?
Elizabeth: Diego grabbed me when he was leaving Sam's apartment.
Spinelli: The wounded blond one's stare is most unnerving.
Maxie: You know, you're strange, but you're not stupid or a coward. Otherwise, Jason wouldn't keep you around. So -- I may have what sounds like a dumb question. What exactly was so wrong with my sister that made you never notice her?
[Water flows]
Nikolas: Oh, God.
Nikolas: Oh, no!
Nadine: Stupid, strange, honest, awful -- just -- oh, God! Oh! No! No!
