News anchor: In a press conference earlier today, mayor floyd conceded that there have been no further developments in
the search for john zacchara and leslie lu spencer. Zacchara, son of reputed mob boss anthony zacchara, escaped from police custody the
afternoon of monday, july 17, with miss spencer as a hostage. There has been speculation that ms. Spencer was in fact an
accomplice and that the abduction was staged, but the mayor refused to comment.

Sam: I was sure i didn't leave the tv on.

Lucky: Surprise.

Sam: Did i mention that i love surprises?

Maxie: What kind of mood is she in?

Clarice: Dangerous.

Kate: Maxie, good of you to join us.

Maxie: I put all the press emails in the p.R. File for you, except for the "times" and "couture." I sent you those directly.
I gave maha three timeslots for the fitting, and i left tips on "fashion goes green" stories and emailed you the promising links.
I also got a message from --

kate: Ok, got it. You managed to accomplish a few things while you were away, but where were you?

Maxie: My cousin robin was having an ultrasound. She wanted me there for moral support.

Kate: My cousin olivia was the same way. I guess it's a matter of personal priorities.

Maxie: You have a cousin?

Kate: Well, all people have cousins, right, maxie? Call federico, and tell him i'm tired of his phone tag.

Maxie: Oh, one more thing. I got a text from jax -- he's back in town.

Kate: Well, now, wouldn't it have been interesting to give me that message first, since jax is our primary investor?

Jax: Did i hear my name?

Kate: Hi, welcome back.

Jax: Thank you.

Clarice: You were missed. Welcome back.

Jax: Thank you.

Kate: So, i was beginning to worry that carly had spirited you away, just to make our life more difficult.

Jax: No, no, no, nothing like that. I was in sydney, closing a business deal. I was on my own, actually.

Kate: Oh, well, good for you. So should i assume that all systems are go and that no one, no matter how determined, will
stand in our way for a "crimson" lunch?

Jason: What do you need?

Sonny: I just want to tell you, karpov is smuggling drugs. He violated terms of our agreement. Our deal is off.I can't protect you like i
wanted to.

Jason: You helped karpov get established. You helped him find a way to my territory, and now you're telling me that you're just --
you're cutting him loose?

Sonny: He was going to come here anyway. Now -- now you can get rid of him.

Jason: Yeah, i'll take care of it.

Sonny: One more thing. Listen, i don't know if you know this, but what are you doing with the zaccharas? Because anthony threatened my
daughter's life. Anthony zacchara approached my daughter in the park today.

Jason: I know. Her guard called it in.

Sonny: What kind of guard does that?

Jason: It's a public place, sonny. Anthony zacchara's in a wheelchair, and annie was close by. The guard didn't want to grab christina and scare her.

Sonny: So he did nothing?

Jason: Alexis showed up. There was no reason to escalate the situation.

Sonny: And now christina thinks that, you know, anthony zacchara's some friendly old man in a wheelchair. Every time she sees him, she's
not going to be afraid.

Jason: I will make it clear to anthony zacchara to never approach christina again.

Sonny: I cannot believe that anthony is using my child, the only one left that i'm allowed to see, thank you, as a bargaining chip.
Anthony wants alexis to drop the murder charges on johnny.

Jason: What do you want to do?

Sonny: I want anthony to cross the street when he sees christina. I want him to cringe every time he hears your name.
Even if he thinks about my daughter, i want him to be afraid. That's what my child needs right now. And if you can't provide it, i will.

Jason: It's very dangerous to make threats when you're out.

Sonny: I don't care if i'm out. I don't care if i'm in. I will protect my family.

Jason: You made a deal with karpov behind my back. And now you're bailing out again. And you're leaving a drug smuggler in my territory.
Do you understand why this is a major problem for me?

Sonny: Do you understand that i was trying to make things easier for you? But now i'm starting to feel like you're not getting the
business -- that you're not seeing how it really works. You've got to focus on doing the right thing.

Jason: You want me to take over the business. You get to complain about how i do my job.

Sonny: Yeah. You're absolutely right about that, but do you get that you are in over your head? You can't just stand around
doing nothing.

Kate: The advertising is in place for the launch issue. We're slightly ahead of projection, as you will notice. Oh, we landed scarlett for the
cover story. Scarlett and "crimson's" going to set a whole theme. Let everybody know. Hi.

Jax: Yes. This is -- it's great, good work. Good work.

Kate: Where are you?

Jax: I'm right here, listening. As always. Please.

Kate: So, the numbers are up across the board. And i mean, i don't expect a standing ovation for doing my job.

Jax: Ok.

Kate: However, a little --

jax: It's carly.

Kate: Why am i not surprised?

Jax: Well, i went by to see her. I actually went by to see morgan. As i was leaving, she took a bad fall.And she claims that she
sprained her ankle. And i didn't even get her an ice pack. I just left.

Kate: Mm-hmm. And now you can't acknowledge all the hard work my staff has done in your absence, because you're allowing carly to make
you feel guilty.

Jax: Well, yes, something like that, yes.

Kate: Ok. So you want my opinion, or you want me to --

jax: She's faking, right? Or what if she's not?

Sam: Wait a minute, wait a minute. So what's with showing up at my apartment? Are you trying to blow my cover?

Lucky: Well, i'm a spencer. I've been breaking and entering since i was kid. Mm.

Sam: It's kind of a rush, isn't it? Pretending to hate each other so we can go after the bad guys?

Lucky: You're fearless.

Sam: Ok, wait a minute. I shouldn't admit this, but i'm going to admit it. I like running guns. I do. I'm good at it. It feels good.
It's comfortable because it's the way i grew up. At least -- at least this time i am on the right side of the law.

Lucky: Yeah, i like it too. Pretending to hate each other makes it so much better when we get to be alone.

Sam: Alone? How long are you staying?

Lucky: I'll stay all night if you want. It's like my first night alone. I just want to be with you.And whatever else happens --

sam: Happens. Mm.

Johnny: That'll be great. We'll be there tonight. I'm not sure what time. Thanks.

Lulu: Who were you talking to?

Johnny: I'm getting us out of here.

Lulu: Who was that?

Johnny: The less you know, the safer you'll be. But i'll get us out of here tonight.

Lulu: Go without me.

Johnny: Not a chance.

Lulu: I'm just going to slow you down.

Johnny: Lulu, you're getting sick hiding out here. All right? And i'm not going to make the same mistake that your father
made with your mother. I'm getting you help.

Lulu: If you get caught because of me, i will not be able to handle it, and the way i feel right now, i'm going to go crazy
no matter what you do, so please, just go.

Johnny: Ok. It's not that just seeing logan, ok? You're not trusting yourself you're not trusting what you see and you're not trusting
what's real. You're slipping away from me, lulu.

Lulu: I'm sorry.

Johnny: I'm not going to leave this apartment without you. Whatever happens next, we will deal with it. But we got to get out of here
now. Please, lulu, trust me.

Carly: What do you want?

Jax: Can i take a look at your ankle?

Carly: Why, so you can tell me i'm faking again?

Jax: No. I just want to look at your ankle.

Carly: No. You're not supposed to see me like this. I'm trying to win you back and i'm supposed to be sexy and glamorous, not sitting here in
my sweat pants and drinking wine and eating these cheesy snacks. Crying like a baby. It's not how it's supposed to be, jax.

Jax: Hey, hey. You know what? You're beautiful. You're sitting here in your sweats watching tv, all cuddled up, drinking wine, eating your
favorite junk foods. It's beautiful. And you're beautiful. You're the most beautiful woman to me, because you're my wife. And i love you very much.

Robin: How's spinelli?

Elizabeth: He's better. Dr. Hunter's keeping him overnight just to make sure.

Robin: Jason's really concerned about him.

Elizabeth: I know. I saw you letting him feel the baby kick. That was nice of you.

Robin: I owe jason so much. He's the one who gave me courage to go on when i didn't have any. I wish i could give him just a
little piece of what he's given me.

Robin: Hey.

Patrick: Hey.

Robin: I've been looking all over for you.

Patrick: I was hanging out in the lab.

Robin: Uh-oh, that can't be good.

Patrick: Listen, i never really get concerned or worried about you other than your medical issues. And i'm trying not to sound like
a flipped-out overprotective father and boyfriend, but --

robin: Oh. You heard me talking to jason.

Patrick: Robin, when you said that you want him to be part of our baby's life, the only thing i could think about was taking that bullet out of michael's
head. And i'm sorry. I know you guys are close and you have a history, but i don't want our little girl in danger. I don't want her anywhere near him.

Robin: I'm sorry. I didn't think of it that way. But no matter what i said to him, i don't think our little girl should be around him,
either.

Patrick: Ok, good. I'm glad we can agree on that.

Robin: Me, too. It just makes me sad for him. There was no way for him to know when he first started working
for sonny what it would cost him. And now he's paying the consequences. I'm just afraid he's going to keep on paying them for the
rest of his life.

Lulu: Where are we going?

Johnny: Canada.

Lulu: Montreal?

Johnny: Vancouver.

Lulu: How are we going to get across the border? We don't have passports.

Johnny: That duffel bag's got plenty of cash left over and it'll get us anywhere we want to go.

Lulu: You were on the way to canada the night that you picked me up.

Johnny: I remember seeing you on the side of the road, trying to pretend not to cry.

Lulu: I'll bet you wish you never picked me up that night.

Johnny: No, not for a second.

Lulu: I've ruined your life.

Johnny: No, don't say that. After all that's happened, i've certainly ruined yours.

Claudia: Give me one reason -- one -- not to call the police and report you for breaking and entering and for grand theft.

Anthony: I was kind enough to have staff pack your things and this is the thanks i get. A rude daughter making threats. All right.
You want to call the police? Please, be my guest.

Claudia: You had no right to move me and johnny's stuff out of our apartment.

Anthony: You don't need an apartment. And you should be grateful that i moved your stuff back into your room. I hope you didn't have anything
tucked away that you didn't want me to know about, because i had my people go through everything. That's my right as your father.

Claudia: Understand something. You cannot make me stay here. I'm not going to be your prisoner.

Anthony: You're not my prisoner. You're my daughter. And what's more important, you're my only connection to john. And that, for now, makes you
valuable to me. So don't disrespect me anymore by lying, because i know john contacted you. He trusts you, because you've
babied him all his life.

Claudia: I have not spoken to johnny since he ran away.

Anthony: Why do you put me in this position? It's horrible that a father has to keep threatening his daughter. You know i want john home safe.
If it doesn't happen, you'll be the one who pays.

Carly: Don't tell me you love me if you really don't mean it. And if you're going to go, just go now before i let myself
believe that you're going to stay.

Jax: Look, you said something to me earlier that i couldn't get out of my head. Ok? That i'd never been mean to you
until tonight, and i'm really sorry, because i don't ever wantto be mean to you, carly. I'm sorry.

Carly: Apology accepted.

Jax: I mean, i love you so much. But i'm afraid that my love won't be enough. Maybe that's why i'm always so quick to walk away.
It's not that i don't love you. It's just that i love you so much.

Carly: Then stay. All i need is for you to be with me.Nothing else matters.

Jax: Hey...

[Knock at door]

kate: Jax?

Jax, i'm sorry to bother you, but we have an emergency.

Lucky: You promise me something?

Sam: Mm, never. I hate promises.

Lucky: You could like this one.

Sam: No, no, i won't. Because i always wind up breaking promises no matter how good my intentions are.

Lucky: Ok, so you're going to promise me to --

sam: That we could vanish to mexico and go on another big grand adventure.

Lucky: That could happen only if you promise --

sam: Only if we can promise to hold each other's hand in the park after we catch the bad guys.

Lucky: Promise you'll move in after we bust this counterfeit drug ring.

Sam: Whoa.

Lucky: I just want us to be more -- just more than what we are now.

Sam: Wow. Um, ok, how about this? After we bust the bad guys, i promise that i'll think about it.

Lucky: Fine. Because i have the rest of the night to convince you.

Sam: Actually, i don't. I have to go back to the docks because i'm landing a shipment.

Elizabeth: I knew you'd be here. I just had a feeling. That's the deal i told myself. That if you were here, i was meant to find you.
I saw the look on your face when you felt robin's baby kick.

Jason: I'm happy for her.

Elizabeth: And then you saw jake.

Jason: Yeah, he looks good.

Elizabeth: He has a really great life because of the sacrifices you've made. But that doesn't mean you miss him any less.
I can't undo all the choices we've made, but i want you to know that i love you. And that i'm here.

Claudia: So what's the plan, daddy? You going to keep me under house arrest? Huh? Monitor my calls? And if johnny calls, which he
won't, what do you do?Put a knife to my throat and tell him to come home, or else?

Anthony: Will you just make it clear to johnny that arrangements are being made for him to turn himself in. And when he does, the charges
against him will be dropped.

Claudia: Johnny is being charged with first-degree murder. He's considered armed and dangerous, and scott baldwin is out for revenge.

Anthony: He can't hurt johnny if alexis davis refuses to prosecute. She'll be dropping all charges. Don't worry.

Claudia: What did you do?

Sonny: I'll tell you what your father did. He made a fatal error. And it's going to cost him.

Lulu: You didn't ruin my life. You helped me find it. I mean, until you, i was just the daughter of luke and laura. Nobody ever got to know who i
really was until you. Wait a minute, that's the wrong turn.

Johnny: It's a back road to canada.

Lulu: Did you see a cop or something?

Johnny: No, no, no. I just want to make sure that we don't.

Lulu: Wait a minute. This is the road to shady brook.

Johnny: Take it easy.

Lulu: Turn around.

Johnny: You got to trust me.

Lulu: Turn around! I am not going to shady brook!

Johnny: Look, you need help.

Lulu: Turn the car around. I mean it! Or i'm getting out of the car. Let go! Stop! Turn around!
