Friday July 11 Part-2


Maxie: Maybe you should stay out of this 'cause Sonny seemed pretty angry.

Spinelli: Stone Cold entrusted the Jackal with uncovering the identity of the simian one's murder. I cannot fail my master.

Maxie: How about we go look at a different angle? What if we established Jason an alibi?

Spinelli: As much as the Jackal is grateful for Maximista's sparks of inventiveness that was not assigned task.

Maxie: Wouldn't he be happy if you just got him out of jail? Go with me on this whole alibi thing.

Spinelli: Greetings. May we safely assume that Stone Cold has been released from his unjustified incarceration?

Jason: They never filed any charges.

Maxie: See, problem solved.

Jason: Did you get the footage from the buildings that surround the clinic?

Spinelli: The Jackal has been a little distracted.

Jason: Ok, I can see that. Can you please get me the footage?

Spinelli: Yes, the Jackal is honored to work alongside his sleuthing partner. Jackal and stone P.I.'S will --

Maxie: Not to be harsh, but who really cares if Logan is dead? I mean, he was a creep and everyone hated him. So, good riddance.

Spinelli: Not withstanding the unworthy one's unworthiness, he was still the victim of a crime that cost him his life. There is work to be done, and that work might flow a little more effortlessly if Maximista were to depart.

Maxie: Well, at least you said it nicely.

Jason: Ok, I have a pretty good idea who killed Logan. But I want to find out for sure.

Lulu: The police will interrogate me I cannot take this right now.

Lucky: You suspect Johnny, don't you? Because he lives in a violent, lawless world.

Lulu: I know all the warnings about Johnny. I've heard them a thousand times. I don't need to hear them again, so if you're not going to leave, I will.

Lucky: Ok, ok. I'm sorry. I don't want to argue. Lulu, you're shaking.

Lulu: I am fine.

Lucky: No, you're not. What has got you so scared?

Johnny: The police commissioner was here.

Claudia: Already?

Johnny: Yep.

Claudia: What did you say to him?

Johnny: Nothing. But I doubt it's the end of it.

Claudia: Well, if they come here and they get a search warrant, they won't find anything.

Johnny: Thanks to you.

Claudia: I have some bad news. Johnny, daddy cornered me, and he asked me about Logan's murder. I had to tell him everything.

Johnny: You mean, that I killed him.

Claudia: Well, and also that Lulu and Maxie are in on it.

Johnny: Why did you do that?

Claudia: Because you know him, John. He would have found out anyway.

Johnny: So what's to stop him from arranging a little accident between Maxie and Lulu, and having them fall down an elevator shaft?

Claudia: Well, I told him -- I told him if anything happens to Lulu that he's going to lose you forever.

Johnny: So what? He'll do anything to protect me, you know that.

Claudia: So will I.

Anna: Patrick. You know I've been struggling with this. Even though I do sympathize with your position, I couldn't go against my own daughter.

Patrick: That's ok. I understand.

Diane: Your timing leaves just a little to be desired.

Alexis: Good, you're here

Noah: Hey, look, I'm afraid I can't do this.

Alexis: Crisis at the hospital?

Noah: No, it's more like a crisis of conscience. I think it's best for everybody if I just stay out of it. Robin, I'm so sorry.

Robin: No, it's ok. I don't want this to get hurtful, since we're all looking out for the baby's best interests.

Alexis: You know, Robin, from personal experience, this hearing is going to define the word hurtful.

Robin: Well, then maybe we should stop it before it goes any further.

Bailiff: All rise. This court is now in session. The honorable Judge Warner presiding.

Judge Warner: This appears to be a most unusual petition. I'm eager to hear testimony.

Diane: Your honor, my client would like to make a statement on his own behalf.

Judge Warner: Very well. You may take the stand, Dr. Drake.

Alexis: You know, I don't need Noah as a witness to prove to the court that what Patrick is asking for is ridiculous. There's no basis on it in court law.

Robin: Ok.

Patrick: I should start by saying; I never wanted to be a father. Robin is the one who wanted a child, with or without me. In fact, when she found out she was pregnant, she had no intention of telling me the baby was mine. I had to force her into it.

Diane: Is it your opinion that Dr. Scorpio has made a sustained effort to exclude you from your child's life?

Patrick: No. I love Robin. I love our child. And that's the problem. She doesn't believe me. A lot of that is my fault. You know, I told her over and over that I didn't want to settle down. I didn't want to be saddled with a family. And when we broke up, I was pretty quick to start dating somebody else. I left Robin in a place where she couldn't trust me, couldn't trust my love. But she can. I would never do anything to hurt her or our child.

Diane: Dr. Scorpio recently attempted to bar you from any contact with herself, and therefore, by extension, your child. Isn't that correct?

Patrick: I know. I -- we pushed and pulled each other into court today. Look, I have my faults. But I'm not a stupid man. I know Robin is the woman that I'll always love. I see the baby growing inside of her, and I feel it kicking and I am awed. I'm starting to realize how much this family means to me, and I get it. The irony is not lost on me. It's the one thing that I always said I never wanted. Turns out the most important thing in the world to me -- Robin and our child, a family -- make memories, start traditions, have our love grow every day. When I think about the future, you know, us -- honestly, I can't wait to get started. And I just hope that, Robin -- I hope that you can find a way to feel the same.

Diane: But words of this nature have done nothing to affect Dr. Scorpio.

Robin: No, that's not true. I'm -- I'm terribly sorry. I believe I've wasted your time and our time. Patrick, you can see me and the baby anytime you want.

Spinelli: Security camera footage from the area in question will be uploaded anon. You know, the Jackal would have been further along in his investigation had it not been for Mr. Sir's unexpected arrival.

Jason: Sonny was here?

Spinelli: Yes, and he expressed grave concern at the news of Stone Cold being incarcerated. And after the Jackal failed to handle him in a diplomatic manner, he became offended, dare I say irate.

Jason: What did he say?

Spinelli: That Stone Cold was wasting his time and trust with incompetents such me.

Jason: Ok, first of all, you're not incompetent.

Spinelli: Yeah, well, Mr. Sir does not share that same good opinion.

Jason: Well, you know what, he shouldn't be insulting you. But just try to remember what happened to Michael is eating this guy alive. He wouldn't act this way normally, you know what I'm saying?

Spinelli: Yeah.

Jason: No, right there. Go -- go back. I missed something right there. That car making that turn, can you freeze that?

Spinelli: Yeah.

Jason: The cops were looking for a car with that plate, right?

Spinelli: Right. And the driver?

Jason: Ok, zoom in. Let's see if we can figure out who this is.

Lulu: Logan is dead, and you and Mac show up and question Johnny. Why wouldn't I be scared?

Lucky: What did Johnny tell you?

Lulu: Nothing.

Lucky: Nothing. He spent a night in jail for assaulting Logan at the Metro Court.

Lulu: That doesn't mean that he stabbed him.

Lucky: You keep saying that, but how can you know?

Lulu: Because I know Johnny. He wouldn't do that.

Lucky: Ok, and you thought you knew Logan, too.

Lulu: Well, I clearly was wrong about Logan, ok? He was carrying around a lot more hurt and anger than I knew about. And he thought I was going to be different, but in the end, I hurt him as much as everybody else, and now he's --

Lucky: Lulu, you are a good person. You always look out for the best in everyone, and sometimes they don't live up to your belief in them.

Lulu: If this is going back to Johnny --

Lucky: You blew Logan off in Kate Howard's office. He was angry and it makes all the sense in the world for him to go after Johnny. Now, who knows, maybe Johnny killed him in self-defense.

Lulu: You're wrong.

Lucky: You have to face the fact that Johnny is a suspect. And if he killed Logan, there's no way you can save him.

Johnny: Doing something to Lulu is not going to protect me. You need to swear to me you're going to leave her alone.

Claudia: What is about that girl, John? Explain it to me like I'm five. Because I don't get it, I really don't. Lulu is an insipid, whining little brat. All the trouble you've been in this year, most of it is because of her. And this has been, by far, the worst.

Johnny: It is not Lulu's fault that Logan tried to kill me. The guy was a whack job, and he mistreated her for God knows how long. I really wish you would find some sympathy for her.

Claudia: I'm sorry, you know what? That went out the window when you committed murder for her.

Johnny: I really wish you'd stop blaming her.

Claudia: Damn it, Johnny, this is murder we are talking about. Scott Baldwin and the cops -- they are going to be salivating at the idea of pinning this on you. And daddy -- daddy will kill me in my sleep if I didn't do a good enough job covering this up.

Johnny: It's covered. We're going to be fine.

Claudia: We can't take anything for granted, Johnny. The cops are not going to let this go. I'm not going to let them get you. I won't.

Johnny: Fine. I don't want to fight with you about this, Claudia. We need each other. I'm grateful that you've been standing by me.

Claudia: I always will. Always.

Vaughn: You'll be a little late to the office today.

Maxie: Let go of me. Vaughn: Someone wants to see you, and he doesn't take no for an answer.

Carly: Kate. Kate. Ms. Howard.

Sonny: If you're looking for Kate, she's in the ladies room, crying her eyes out. Thank you.

Carly: Oh, I should go then. Far be it for me to stand in between Kate and the nearest dry male shoulder.

Sonny: She's been publicly humiliated, made to look like a joke and a slut. You proud of yourself?

Carly: You're damn straight I am. And I would do it again in a minute.

Sonny: No, you won't.

Sonny: I cannot -- actually, I can believe you would be this childish and vindictive.

Carly: Kate is trying to seduce my husband, and I am going to shut her down.

Sonny: That's not what went on in the limo.

Carly: Jax's own pilot said he saw your saintly fiancée kissing Jax -- a real kiss the night we took Michael to the aftercare institute.

Sonny: You would tell me any lie to make Kate look bad.

Carly: Jax confirmed it.

Sonny: You're angry because I'm marrying Kate. What's that about?

Carly: I don't give a damn that you're marrying Kate.

Sonny: Oh, yeah.

Carly: Did you ever ask yourself, how Kate got to the top of the fashion business? She manipulates people every day, and she's manipulating you right now.

Sonny: You're a married woman. Why are you so jealous?

Carly: Oh, my God.

Sonny: You got this twisted notion that I belong to you. And you can't believe that I'm in love with Kate.

Carly: Ok, if you want to live in denial, you go right ahead. Be my guest. But you better keep Kate away from my husband.

Sonny: Forget Jax. You stay away from Kate. No more ugly confrontations, no more press ambushing her.

Carly: Or what?

Sonny: You treat her with respect --

Carly: Right.

Sonny: Or I will tell Jax that you seduced me in that limo.

Patrick: Thanks for your help.

Diane: You are the one who won the case. I almost feel guilty for sending you a bill. But I'll get over that.

Patrick: Thanks.

Alexis: Nicely done, counselor.

Diane: That is very magnanimous of you, counselor, considering that you lost.

Alexis: But I won in my head.

Diane: Yes.

Alexis: Concede this one gracefully.

Anna: That lovely young man just bared his soul to you. The least you can do is go and say thank you.

Noah: I still don't know what kind of father you will make. But I do know you're a better man than I am. I'm proud of you, son.

Patrick: Thanks.

Robin: Hey.

Patrick: Look, all I want --

Robin: No, I just want to say something, ok?

Patrick: Yeah, of course.

Robin: I think that's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me or said to me. I love you so much. And I am so glad that you want to be a father to our baby.

[Anna cell phone rings]

Robin: Were going to make a good family.

Anna: Oh, no.

Robin: What?

Anna: Ah, oh. Eli love just text me. He said he's coming to town and can't wait to see everybody.

Robin: How is that a bad thing?

Anna: I think I'm going to call for an immediate evac out of here. I mean, I can't -- I can't be around when he finds out I'm going to be a grandmother.

Anthony: Hello. Sit down please. So, I hear you were part of the excitement last night?

Maxie: What excitement?

[Anthony laughs]

Anthony: Don't play dumb. You and Lulu were at the scene of the crime. Then the two of you took off leaving my son and daughter with a dead body on their hands.

Maxie: What do you want?

Anthony: I want you to tell me how Logan Hayes died -- every detail, right from the top.

Maxie: Well, I only know what Johnny and Claudia told me, so --

Anthony: No, no, no, no. You're not understanding me, dear. I want to hear your story, what you saw, what you heard. I'm already wondering what you were doing there in the first place.

Maxie: I had to talk to Lulu about some things that were happening at work.

Anthony: Well, you could have stopped her in the office or on the street, but you followed her into the elevator and all the way up to her apartment.

Maxie: We had a lot of problems to discuss.

Anthony: All right. So you got into this mess by accident. You could walk away, but you're
sticking around. Why? Out of loyalty to Lulu?

Maxie: God, no, we're not even friends.

Anthony: You're not friends, but you buddied up to stage a fight in Kelly's?

Maxie: We both needed an alibi.

Anthony: Something is not adding up, dear. Sit down. Let's start from the beginning. Tell me about Logan's murder. And please, tell me the truth 'cause if you lie, you're not going to be very happy you did.

[Knock on door]

Lulu: Hey, I got your message. What's wrong?

Spinelli: Yes, the Jackal apologizes for causing alarm, but he has grave news that will undoubtedly distress the fair one.

Lulu: Ok, just tell me.

Spinelli: Well, Stone Cold was erroneously arrested for the murder of the crabby commando.
You've heard about Logan, right?

Lulu: Yeah.

Spinelli: Anyway, so in an effort to exonerate him, the Jackal began investigating, and now believes he knows who the true culprit is.

Johnny: What's going on? What did you say to her?

[Gun cocks]

Claudia: Go for your gun, you're a dead man.

Jason: Shooting me is not going to help you cover up the fact that Johnny killed Logan.

Claudia: What makes you think Johnny killed Logan?
