[footsteps]
Lulu: Howard. Howard, Howard. Did you leave a note on my tray?
Woman: That would be the finalcall for flight 247 to Rome. You should be onboard.
Sonny: Do you have a problem with what I'm asking?
Jason: Sonny. We have to be sure that Karpov was the shooter. It is way too soon to make a move against anybody.
Ric: So you can walk.
Anthony: I can fly, too, but don't tell anyone.
Ric: So, uh, how long you been faking?
Anthony: What difference does it make?
Ric: Oh, just give me a second, anthony. You know, i'm just trying to -- just trying to put the pieces together. Actually, it's starting to clang into place. This whole shooting at sonny's tonight, you've been planning it all along. You just used the paralysis as a cover, right?
Anthony: Planning it was the easy part. You got to give me credit for still being able to hit a target. I've been through a lot of reading-glass prescriptions since the last time.
Ric: You meant to shoot kate? I thought sonny was the target.
Anthony: No. I don't want sonny dead. I got big plans for him.
Lulu: Answer me.
Howard: No, Lulu, i didn't leave a note with your food.
Lulu: Well, why -- why should i believe you?
Howard: Because i'm telling the truth.
Lulu: Well, somebody wrote it. Somebody left it. It -- who's been near the food cart, ok? It didn't crawl up on my tray on its own.
Howard: Why don't i find dr. Winters?
Lulu: Drop dead. I will find her on my own.
Morgan: I thought you got shot.
Carly: Oh, sweetie, i'm fine. I'm fine, and so is jax.
Morgan: What about daddy?
Carly: Daddy's fine, too, ok? He is. He's just -- he's really sad right now because, um, well, a bad guy shot kate right before they were supposed to get married.
Morgan: Was it the same bad guy who shot michael?
Jax: Morgan, come here. You know, what's important is you don't have to be afraid because the police are going to catch the bad guys, ok?
Morgan: Ok.
Jax: And in the meantime, i'm going to make sure that you're all safe, so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Morgan: Ok, ok.
Jax: Ok.
Carly: Are you good to go, sweetie?
Carly: All right, let's go. Thank you.
Woman: All the other passengers are onboard.
Elizabeth: I'm supposed to be traveling with someone, and he's not here yet.
Woman: We can't hold the flight, so if you're going, now's the last chance.
Sonny: All right, let me -- let me take this from the top since, obviously, i -- i have not made my point. Karpov shot kate. In a church. At -- at our wedding ceremony. Whether he was aiming at her or not, it doesn't matter. He almost killed, he almost killed the woman that i love, so he has to deal with the consequences of his actions, and so do his people. So -- listen to me. You send a message tonight. Otherwise, karpov will strike again.
Olivia: It's confusing to know how to feel about sonny, you know? Because neither one of us would be here if it wasn't for him. You wouldn't be laying here, and i wouldn't be sitting here blabbing at you, if it wasn't for sonny and his horrible choices, but -- but he brought us together, connie, and you are the best gift that i've gotten in 20 years.
[Olivia sniffles]
olivia: And we've got so much baggage, all right? And i realize now i'm -- i really must've underestimated you, you know. Because you -- you really got to have some kind of -- some kind of scary inner strength to have spent all that time with sonny and -- and never even been tempted to tell him the truth. That's unless -- unless you're even more terrified that he'd find out.
Jason: With all due respect, you're not in any condition to make this call. You're too emotional. You know how dangerous that can be.
Sonny: You gearing up to do nothing?
Jason: Look, i'm -- i need to know the truth --
sonny: You gearing up to do nothing?
Jason: I need to know the truth before i do it. What -- what do you got?
Spinelli: Analysis has proven that the recovered shell casing is from a bullet manufactured in russia and fired from a russian rifle.
Sonny: There's your truth. He shot kate. Kill him!
Ric: Are you really as unaffected as you seem to be about being discovered?
Anthony: Somebody was bound to find out sooner or later. I always suspected it would be you. You're an impressive young man, ric, despite what your father says.
Ric: Well, don't -- don't take offense at this, anthony, but i've got to ask you a question.Are you off your meds?
[Anthony laughs]
ric: I mean, what possible reason could you have for -- for wanting to shoot kate? What's the benefit?
Anthony: Sit down, kid. I'm going to take you to school.
Ric: All right, clearly, i must be missing something here.
Anthony: You see, things aren't always what they seem. Sometimes, they're simpler. I used the russian rifle to shoot kate and a russian bullet. By now, jason or sonny or one of their goons stumbled on the shell casing i so thoughtfully left behind. Now, these men are not masters of great subtlety. They're going to jump at the most obvious-looking conclusion.
Ric: Karpov.
Anthony: Proceed to the head of the class. And what would be karpov's motive for shooting up sonny's wedding?
Ric: Sonny made a deal with karpov. Sonny backed out of the deal and made karpov look weak.
Anthony: Precisely. It's that kind of clunky, bone-headed logic that corinthos and his ilk easily grasp. Two plus two equals four. There's no room for variation. There's no margin for human foible or error. It's lazy thinking, but who am i to complain? Nine times out of ten, it works for me. Now, we have sonny. Everybody knows the man is not capable of a rational thought when his emotions are involved. That's always been sonny's fatal flaw. So true to form, he'll fly off the handle and demand karpov's head. On the other hand, we have jason. He is not burdened by an emotional life. He's all steel and logic, and he's learning how to react like a boss. He'll think, why bring on a war over a matter that is personal to a man who's no longer even in their business? Sonny doesn't have the manpower to take karpov on his own, so he's going to have to weigh his options.
Ric: The best one being you.
Anthony: Bingo. Sonny will come to me hat in hand and beg me to give him shelter from the storm.
Ric: Anthony, i, uh, i don't mean to spoil your little fantasy, but i don't see that happening.
Anthony: Please, don't rain on my harmless little fantasy. All right, so i'll go to him. Either way, i get what i want.
Ric: Partnership?
Anthony: And that's the first step toward taking jason morgan out of the picture for good.
Jax: Hey, you know what? Do me a favor and go drink somewhere else, because we've seen enough violence for one night.
Johnny: Ok, if you're going to throw me out, take your best shot, but i don't take too well to orders.
Jax: Well, this is my territory, johnny, so what i say goes.
[Cell phone rings]
johnny: Lulu?
Lulu: I need to see you.
Johnny: I don't think that's a very good idea.
Lulu: You have to come now. Somebody knows that i killed logan.
Mercedes: I should've turned off the news as soon as i heard sonny's name.
Carly: Stop beating yourself up. You did exactly what i wanted you to do. He was worried, and you brought him to me. It's ok.
Mercedes: I'll go run morgan's bath then.
Carly: Thanks.
Carly: Want to have a talk?
Carly: Ok. Jax is right. There are things that happen that you shouldn't even try to understand, but i think today may answer some of your questions about why you don't spend time with your father. I know you've been struggling with that. See, your daddy used to work with some dangerous people, and, um, well, he made some enemies. And sometimes those enemies want to try and hurt your father, and somebody else gets hurt instead.
Morgan: Like michael?
Carly: Like michael. And like kate. See, honey, that's why your daddy and i decided that -- well, that your daddy shouldn't spend time with you. Not because he doesn't want to spend time with you and not because he doesn't love you, because he does. But he does this because he wants to keep you safe, so what happened to michael and what happened to kate will never, ever happen to you. God, i wish just that your life didn't have to be so stressful and crazy. I wish that -- well, i wish that your life didn't have so much mystery and fear in it. You shouldn't have to wrap your precious little mind around violence and guns, and you shouldn't have to be afraid of losing someone you love so horribly. Ok. Well, you know what? I guess we have to make the best of it, huh? Yeah. Can i have a hug?
Spinelli: Even in the face of such incriminating evidence, stone cold still doubts that the fashionista was shot by karpov or on his orders?
Jason: Whoa, whoa, hold on. Anyone with money can buy a russian gun.
Monica: Kate's vitals are still too unstable to operate.
Olivia: But she needs the surgery.
Monica: And she'll get it, just as soon as she's strong enough.
Sonny: I want patrick drake.
Monica: We are trying to locate him. Excuse me.
Olivia: Who's patrick drake?
Sonny: Best neurosurgeon in town. I don't want kate to come out of this paralyzed.
Olivia: Paralyzed? Sonny, wake up. She's going to be lucky if she's paralyzed. At least she'd be alive.
Jason: Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: Jason.
Jason: I'm so sorry.
Elizabeth: Are you ok?
Jason: Yeah, no, I'm fine.
Elizabeth: I was so afraid that something happened.
Jason: Something did. Kate got shot. I'm at the hospital right now. I just -- I am so sorry I didn't make the flight and I --
Sonny: You're a dead man!
Ric: You know, i've got to hand it to you, anthony. You're a sly old bastard.
Anthony: I keep telling you people that.
Ric: Well, please, don't stop now. Go on. Come on, tell me how this convoluted path leads to jason's death.
Anthony: Are you raising an objection, counselor?
Ric: Oh, no.
Anthony: Oh, why am i not surprised? Jason morgan is not high on your list, is he?
Ric: No, i loathe the man.
Anthony: Good. Maybe we can use that sometime. Ok. Now, we've got sonny demanding karpov's death. Jason refuses. Sonny spirals over to the zacchara side. And that's when i start on him. And believe me, i know how.
Ric: Oh, i don't doubt it.
Anthony: Yeah, i'll hit him with jason's betrayal, commiserate about the ingratitude of people he raised up from nothing, people that he put into power. And about how that kind of behavior is an abomination. It's a slap in the face to the old days, when honor andloyalty and respect and a man's word meant something, and how can we let this kind of insubordination go unchecked? Because, my God, it invites chaos, and yada, yada, yada.And the bottom line is sonny comes to the realization that he has to take jason out. And once he's there, it'll be clear sailing because jason won't fight back. He'll die at his own mentor's hands, and the organization, the corinthos organization reverts back to sonny. And then one day, when he's walking around, feeling all's right in his world, bang! Lights out. I take it all. So, you tell me, my eager young pupil, what is the beauty of this plan?
Ric: You come out the winner?
Anthony: Its simplicity. It all turns on the utterly predictable -- jason's stupid, blind loyalty and sonny's stupid, blind pride.
Lulu: Ok, we thought that nobody would believe me when i said that i killed logan. But we're wrong, somebody does, and they want to make me pay.
Johnny: Whoa, whoa, slow down. Start from the beginning, come on.
Lulu: The beginning. Ok, so tracy, she came in after you ran off, and i said whatever she wanted to hear to make her leave, and then the orderly brought me food and she finally left. I opened the lid and there was a note.
Johnny: What did it say?
Lulu: "You killed logan. You should pay."
Johnny: Where's the note now, huh?
Lulu: That's the thing -- i went after the orderly who brought it to me, then i asked him if he wrote it. He denied it.I'm not even sure if i believe him, but that's what he said, and i don't even know what i was going to do with it. I came back in here. I maybe would've shown it to lainey or something. But it doesn't matter because the note is gone. Oh, my God, you don't believe me.
Anthony: I always knew the way to destroy corinthos was to turn him against his own enforcer. I just could never find the right -- the right leverage to push him over to our side.
Trevor: I just got word that kate howard was shot. Probably by andrei karpov.
Anthony: Ric was there. He's been filling me in.
Trevor: I tried to warn katie that sonny corinthos was a disaster, borderline suicidal. What kind of an idiot, huh, runs an organization for decades and then thinks that he can walk away clean? What kind of a fool makes a deal with a heavy hitter like karpov and then welches on it within weeks? It's as if he put the gun in karpov's hand and pointed it right at kate.
Claudia: Karpov didn't do it. I just had a meeting with him.
Ric: You did what?
Claudia: I had a meeting with him. I warned him that he needed to get out of town before all hell breaks loose. He didn't know what i was talking about. I told him kate was shot. He seemed genuinely thrown.
Anthony: That's so touching. After all the lessons you should have learned at my feet. After all the experience of being a zacchara daughter, the fact that you can still harbor such naive illusions really warms a father's heart.
Carly: Hey.
Jax: Hey.
Carly: I didn't expect to see you. Not that i'm complaining. Yeah. Come in.
Jax: Thanks. As soon as you left the hotel, i, uh, i just knew that i couldn't let you go. Because the people closest to sonny that are left standing are you and morgan. I don't think you're safe here.
Carly: We're fine. We are. I mean, jason has guards out there. You can see it all through the window.
Jax: Oh, come on, carly. Mob security is an oxymoron. I want to keep you safe.
Olivia: What the hell is wrong with you people?
Jason: Hey, hey, let -- let go.
Olivia: You think this is a fricking playground? My cousin is fighting for her life in there! Why don't you show her freaking respect?
Karpov: I came only to offer condolences.
Olivia: Who the hell are you?
Karpov: A friend.
Jason: Can you please go back in with kate? I'm going to take care of this.
Karpov: I'm going to overlook what just happened. You're upset over miss howard's shooting. I assure you i had nothing to do with it.
Sonny: Liar.
Karpov: May i remind you, there's a truce in place between us. I have not made any hostile moves against you. I expect you not to make any hostile moves against me.
Spinelli: With the master's permission, perhaps the jackal could trace the comrade's movements tonight, ascertain whether he's telling the truth?
Jason: Good idea. Meet me at the nurses' station. You're just proving my point.
Sonny: That's just karpov's plan. Bluffing his way through this. Deny, deny, deny. We'll let him do it. Let him think it's working. We're going to come up with an airtight plan here, get some alibis, right? A plan that will not fail. And then we will wipe that bastard off the face of the earth.
Lulu: Why are you looking at me like that? Say something.
Johnny: Honestly, lulu, i don't know what to say.
Lulu: Well, how about that you believe me? Or that we have an understanding. There was a note, and whoever wrote it can get to me at any time. What if next time, there's a knife in my gut?
Johnny: Lulu, nobody is going to try and kill you.
Lulu: We don't know that. Can we at least agree that whoever wrote it does not wish me well?
Johnny: Who would do that? Nobody bought your confession. If they did, you would be in prison.
Lulu: I am in prison.
Johnny: What are you talking about? This place or up here?
Lulu: I don't know, both.
Johnny: Ok. So maybe this note was just a product of what's going on.
Lulu: What are you saying?
Johnny: I'm saying maybe you're doing this to yourself.
Jax: I booked the windward suite for the foreseeable future.
Carly: You want us to move into the hotel? You think that's necessary?
Jax: Carly, i watched -- i watched kate get shot today for the same reason that michael did. Because she was standing next to sonny. I'm not going to line you and morgan up to be next. I mean, the metro court -- it makes sense. It's got the state-of-the-art security system, it's public, and i'll be able to keep an eye on you.
Carly: I'm just not sure i want to leave my house, you know?
Jax: Yeah, yeah, i mean, i understand that. It's just, you know, why take an unnecessary risk here?
Carly: I'm not, i'm just, you know, having a hard time making the adjustment.
Jax: Well, we'll work on it. Ok? You're staying at the hotel.
Ric: You know, you took a huge risk going after karpov on your own. If i'd have known where you were going, i would've stopped you.
Claudia: You would've tried. Which is why i didn't tell you where i was going. The point is, guys, i saw the man's face. He had nothing to do with kate howard getting shot.
Trevor: Because karpov's contract was on sonny. And his incompetent shooter probably missed, and poor deluded kate took the bullet for him because she made a decision to marry sonny.
Ric: Dad, come on, i think you're jumping the gun a little bit here.
Kate's not even dead yet.
Trevor: That's a stupid pun, and it's not funny.
Kate has been shot twice because of that animal. And her luck is starting to run out.
Claudia: Well, hey, whether or not kate dies or she goes screaming for the hills when she recovers, the point is sonny was never a match with kate. She's weak.
Trevor: You spiteful bitch. Don't even taint her name by opening up your mouth.
Ric: Hey, hey, hey! I get that you're upset. But ok, drink it off. Don't take it out on claudia.
Trevor: Richard! You got into bed with that viper. She's going to suck you dry.
Mac: Well, how convenient. All the zaccharas in one place. That'll make our job a lot easier.
Harper: We have some questions about kate howard's shooting.
