Tuesday: Part 2


Sonny: Hey. How you doing?

[Jason sighs]

Sonny: Is there anything on Michael? Tell me you're closer to finding where the Zaccharas are holding him.

Jason: I don't know that the Zaccharas took him, Sonny.

Sonny: Well, what -- what do you know?

Jason: I know that there was gun oil residue in his backpack. And I know Spinelli -- he found some waterfront surveillance footage of Michael running toward the piers the day he went missing.

Sonny: That's it?

Jason: Yeah, for now, that's it.

Sonny: Okay, how long before you're out of bed so you can help me find Michael, because I'm -- I'm dying here, man.

Jason: I --

Elizabeth: Well, it's not going to be any time soon. Jason is not going to jeopardize his recovery -- the use of his hands -- by going back to work for you now.

Sonny: No, Elizabeth, you're much better off staying out of this.

Elizabeth: Jason severed tendons in both his hands. The doctors did the best they could, but it may require more surgery. I know there's going to be months of intensive physical therapy at the very least.

Sonny: I am -- right now I'm not interested in what the doctors have to say.

Elizabeth: Sonny, he gave you his life. Don't take his hands.

Jason: Elizabeth? I need to talk to Sonny, it's business
.

[Door closes]

Sonny: What's going on here? Thought you two weren't a thing anymore.

Jason: What -- we're not. I just -- Sonny, I just saved her life.

Sonny: I understand that, but, you know, you got -- I want you to just do your job. Look for Michael, look for the -- the person who shot Kate. If -- maybe if you hadn't been chasing Diego, you wouldn't be here right now. That's what I'm saying.

Jason: More people could've died.

Sonny: But you could've gone to the police, and maybe then --

Jason: "The police"?

Sonny: You wouldn't have been, you know, lying here right now useless to me. Unless --

Jason: Unless what?

Sonny: You meant it to work out this way.

Ric: It was weird -- seeing you with Elizabeth before.

Marianna: Oh, we were just talking.

Ric: I know -- about designer -- I don't know -- handbags or whatever.

Marianna: What, you asked her?

Ric: Well, yeah, I just --

Marianna: Hey, how would you feel if someone did that to you -- monitored your conversations?

Ric: That's not what I was doing.

Marianna: Oh, you think I'm weird because I like nice things -- things that I hope one day to be able to afford?

Ric: No, I want you to have nice things. I want to be able to buy nice things for you sometimes -- you know, surprise you, make you happy?

Marianna: Hmm.

Ric: What's the matter, you don't like presents?

Marianna: Of course I do.

Ric: Yeah?

Marianna: No, I just feel that I have to do things on my own right now. I just want things to be different than before.

Ric: That's right, that's right. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Look, that's why it felt weird for you to be around Elizabeth. It's because I felt like you were being pulled into my past, the past that I'm trying to -- I'm trying to put behind me.

Marianna: I know you are.

Ric: No, Marianna, there's so many things that I've done to so many -- things that you don't know.

Marianna: We all do things we regret.

Ric: Yeah, well, I doubt that there's anything that you could do that would change the way that I look at you.

Scott: So you admit that you used my son?

Lulu: I did not use Logan to get revenge on you.

Scott: You just said so.

Lulu: I said that's what you would deserve. But that is exactly how your mind works -- you are so twisted over the fact that my mom left you for my dad!

Scott: Your father took my wife!

Lulu: My dad did not take her! It's not like my mom suddenly stopped thinking for herself. She fell in love -- against all logic and -- and unplanned. That's how it works, that's how it happened for me and Logan.

Scott: So he's the love of your life?

Lulu: No. But something happened between us and we took a chance and we went with it.

Scott: Is that the story that you and your attorney are flagging?

Lulu: What?

Scott: So that I don't prosecute you?

Lulu: I didn't do anything wrong.

Scott: You clubbed my son with a monkey wrench.

Lulu: I thought he was the murderer! But you didn't have that excuse; you knew that my mom was innocent. You have gotten away with murder for all of these years and let my mom take the blame, and the only reason that I have kept this secret is to protect my father against himself for what he would do to you, but maybe I've been wrong! Maybe I should tell my dad.

Lucky: Tell him what?

[Alarm]

Nikolas' voice: This is more than a hallucination. I -- I don't even think it's an illness -- it brought you back from the dead. I -- I refuse let you go. I refuse to break this connection that we have.

Emily: You don't have a choice, Nikolas, it has to be broken.

Nikolas: Why?

Emily: Because it can't last.

Nikolas: We don't -- we don't know that.

Emily: Because this vision that you have of me is going to change as the tumor grows.

Nikolas: No, no.

Emily: It's going to grow uglier; it's going to get darker.

Nikolas: That's -- that's the doctors talking, not --

Emily: "I'm more than a hallucination."

Nikolas: I know.

Emily: Yeah, those were your words. I'm the embodiment of our love -- the love that you're always going to carry with you in your heart. And I'm asking you to let go of this --

Nikolas: No, don't.

Emily: For yourself, Nikolas, for the miracle of your own life, for all of the people who love you. Most of all, I'm asking you to do this for Spencer. Spencer needs you.

Nikolas: I would never abandon my own son.

Emily: That's exactly what you're going to be doing if you don't go through with the surgery.

Nikolas: But there's -- there's other options. There's that experimental medicine that I need to take -- we could try that.

Emily: No, it's too late.

Nikolas: I can live and take care of my son and still hold on to you.

Emily: You have to choose.

[Alarm]

Nadine's voice: Ready.

Nikolas: No, I can't.

[Paddles charge]

Patrick: Clear.

Sonny: I'm just frustrated. You know, after all these years you've been working for me, you never done anything this stupid or careless to -- to take you out of commission.

Jason: I had no choice. The car was going to go off the bridge with Elizabeth and Sam in it.

Sonny: You're starting to sound like a guy who doesn't want to do what he's used to anymore. And maybe -- I'm just saying maybe -- this is just an excuse. Fine, I will handle it -- I'm -- I'm actually handling it. I have Johnny Zacchara, and, uh, he will die in 24 hours if I don't get Michael back.

Jason: And what are you going to do after you've killed Johnny and you still don't have Michael back? You're going to keep going this way until everybody in your life is dead, or gone?

[Piano plays]

Lucky: What's going on? I mean, what's he done now that you're threatening him to go to Dad with?

Lulu: Well, Scott's accusing me of using Logan, of deliberately setting out to use him as payback.

Lucky: But for what?

Lulu: For what he did to our mother. For -- taking over as her guardian, for taking her away from us.

Lucky: You know, we don't sit around plotting to do things against you, Baldwin -- actually, we don't think about you much at all.

Scott: My son is in a coma. I'm just a little upset, that's all.

Lucky: Yeah, and as far as our mother, the only reason you got a pass is because you didn't harm her in any way, so don't press your luck.

Scott: All right, listen. I'm going to go get an apple. And when I come back, I want to be alone with -- with my son.

Lulu: Huh.

Lucky: You know, I got a feeling that you're not saying everything.

Lulu: I don't want to waste any more breath on Scott. Tell me about Nikolas.

Lucky: I don't know. He's finally getting the surgery and there's nothing else for us to do but wait.

Lulu: Okay, well, then I'll do more good here. Dr. Drake says it could help Logan get better if people he cares about sit here and talk with him.

Lucky: You had every reason to believe that he was the killer. You don't have to stick this out because of guilt.

Lulu: I am guilty.

Lucky: Of what, not loving him?

Lulu: Hmm -- of making him believe that he could hand me his heart and that I would keep it safe.

Alexis: "And then big bear said to little bear --"

Ian: Sometimes being a patient just sucks.

Sam: I guess so.

Alexis: Okay! Hey, hey -- little ears.

Sam: Oh -- hey, Mom.

Ian: Uh -- my apologies. You recalcitrant daughter needs to be a little more aggressive in her rehab.

Sam: What's going on?

Alexis: Bobbie was called back on duty -- she was going to drop Spencer over at daycare.

Sam: No, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, why are you here?

Alexis: Nikolas and I were having a little bit of an argument as to why he's postponing his surgery.

Ian: He has his reasons -- people always do.

Alexis: Okay, so then he collapses, and now he's in surgery.

Elizabeth: Nikolas?

Sam: Well, that would explain why Lucky took off in such a hurry.

Alexis: You were there when I called?

Sam: Yeah, we were talking about the hit-and-run and the new leads he's following.

[Alarm]

[Monitor flatlines]

Patrick: Give me another round of lidocaine.

Robin: He's been pulseless the whole time.

Patrick: Charge again.

Nadine: Ready.

[Paddles charge]

Patrick: Clear.

Nikolas: Don't make me choose between you and my son.

Emily: No, I'm asking you to choose life, Nikolas.

Nikolas: But that's a life without you in it.

Emily: Our love can never die. Nikolas, I'm always going to be a part of you. But you know what you have to do now -- for Spencer --

Nikolas: No.

Emily: For all of the people who love you.

Nikolas: No. You are the love of my life. I can't do it.

Emily: And you're the love of mine. Nikolas, that will never change.

Nikolas: What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do, just be satisfied with memories of you and that's it?

Emily: Don't you see? This was our chance. It was our chance to say everything that we wanted to say, to accept.

Nikolas: Well, that's what -- I don't accept it. I don't -- there has to be a way for me to live and not have to lose you, not have to choose.

Spencer's voice: Daddy!

Nikolas: Uh --

[Monitor flatlines]

Nikolas: Emily? Emily?

Regina: We've got a pulse.

[Monitor beeps]

Nadine: He's back.

Patrick: Okay, Andy, check his breathing.

Robin: He's stabilizing.

Patrick: Okay, let's get him prepped.

Nadine: You're going to continue?

Patrick: We have to get that tumor out.

[Music plays]

Marianna: You have to stop trying to control this, to protect me. You're mad.

Ric: No. No. Look, I'm just trying to protect what we had, you know -- back on the Vineyard, away from all of this. I just -- I don't want to lose that feeling.

Marianna: Hmm.

Ric: So I guess I -- I can't give you this, right?

Marianna: What is it?

Ric: It's just something I got for you, okay? But in light of our conversation, I guess I should probably hang on to it?

Marianna: I see.

Singer: Life is a complicated

Ric: That is, until the appropriate time?

Singer: Thing to do

Marianna: Okay.

Singer: And I am here

Ric: Okay.

Marianna: Mm-hmm.

Singer: For you

Marianna: Give it to me.

Ric: Oh -- oh, is that -- oh, that's now, huh? Oh.

Trevor: Now, what I want you to do is pressure my son's chippie, and if need be, compromise her newfound immigrant status.

Mr. Vaughn: Might be too late for that. What if Ric already put his name on the deed to the Alcazar property?

Trevor: No, as of this afternoon, he didn't sign it, and I don't think he's got the guts to do it. What is most important is to remind Marianna of our original deal -- and that is for her to steal those deeds from me before --

Sonny: Trevor? This has to end now.

Ian: I bet if I would've let you go home, you wouldn't have pushed yourself this hard.

Sam: Oh, come on, I am not afraid of hard work -- or pain, at that.

Ian: Desirable qualities in a woman. Good thing I didn't let you go home with your ex-boyfriend, either -- I don't think he would've given you the proper motivation that you need.

Sam: Whoa -- no, no, no, no, hold on. Who said that he was my ex?

Ian: I assumed.

Sam: Okay. Well, you assume a lot -- for a doctor who didn't want to be my doctor and told me to get a new doctor.

Ian: Doctor's prerogative -- I changed my mind.

Sam: Why?

Ian: I may make you my special case.

Patrick: We need new gloves and gowns, we need some sterile drapes.

Nikolas: No, please --

Patrick: Let's do this.

Nikolas: No, please --

Robin: Nikolas, you're okay.

Patrick: Andy --

Andy: Yeah.

Robin: Listen, just stop fighting --

Nikolas: Not without Emily!

Andy: Whoa, whoa, whoa --

Nikolas: I won't let you do this to me!

[Robin screams]

Patrick: Robin --

Nikolas: Get off of me! Get off of me!

Trevor: What, did you come here to kidnap me again?

Sonny: No, I'm making -- I'm here to make you an offer, a final offer.

Trevor: Hmm, there you go again -- no respect, making demands.

Sonny: The clock's ticking. 24 hours, Trevor -- 23 now.

Trevor: Hmm. You got an offer? Speak up.

Sonny: Okay, if I don't get my son back by then, safe and sound, Johnny dies. Don't think I'm bluffing.

Trevor: Sonny, you are not in a particularly strong negotiating position.

Sonny: If your men shoot me and kill me, Johnny dies.

>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Claudia: What have you done with my brother?

Jason: You better think long and hard before you do something you can't take back.

Sonny: Take him out and waste him.

Milo: We got orders from Mr. C.
