Monday September 15th: Part 1
Carly: Hi. I just got a call that jax was hurt in a climbing accident.
Leyla: Yes, he's back with a doctor.
Carly: How badly is he hurt?
Leyla: I had to fill out his paperwork because his hand is injured. But if you take a seat, i'll go in and check --
carly: I don't want to take a seat, i want to see my husband.
Sonny: If you agree to marry me? That's what you said. Was that hypothetical or have you forgiven me?
Nadine: Help!
Somebody help!
[Nadine pants]
nadine: Somebody help!
[Glass breaks]
nikolas: I really think claudia may have gotten to the jury.
Lulu: You'd say anything to make me feel better because we both know my testimony was a disaster. It could get johnny the death penalty.
Nikolas: Don't do this to yourself.
Lulu: If johnny is convicted, i'm afraid i will lose my mind.
Jason: This -- us -- it's going nowhere.
Elizabeth: I don't expect it to.
nikolas: If i were going to tell a lie to try and calm you down, i think i could come up with something better than claudia zacchara on the witness stand.
Lulu: Which is hard to imagine, anything coming out of claudia's mouth that would help.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, i'll tell you what she said. She said that she was sleeping with logan to get information about her father and then you walked in on them in the act, and that logan got furious and ended up losing it and coming after her that night and knocking down her door with an axe.
Lulu: Exactly how it happened, except to me.
Nikolas: Right, right. Well, there may be just enough truth to what she said. She said that -- that john came in and killed logan to save her.
Lulu: I just don't see how the jury could believe her. She is so hard and unsympathetic. It must've been obvious that she was lying.
Nikolas: I know -- well, claudia very well may be everything that you say she is, but i do know that she loves her brother. And sometimes love can give people power to do things they didn't think they were capable of.
Johnny: I know that you wanted to tell the entire court that lulu wasn't lying, that she actually did kill logan.
Claudia: Yeah, what would've been the point? I mean, the way she broke down on the stand, the jury wasn't going to believe her. They were never going to believe that she killed logan, so i had to come up with a story that would make you look innocent.
Johnny: You painted yourself like some scheming trick, laying claim to all this crap that i know you didn't do.
Claudia: I've done my share, babe.
Johnny: You stuck your neck out on the line for me.
Claudia: It was just a story, johnny.
Johnny: Where i'm the hero and i saved you, when it's the opposite that happened. You saved me, just like you always do, even when you think i'm dead wrong.
Trevor: Claudia did her brother a bigger favor than she knows.
Anthony: I know. After that very moving, very convincing testimony, our plant on the jury should have a much easier time swaying the others in john's favor.
Edward: All right, in an effort to move things along, i am very willing to serve as your jury foreman and i would like to call for a preliminary vote.
Epiphany: Hold on. Wait a minute.
Edward: What? We all heard the evidence. We know that john zacchara's guilty.
Ron: With all due respect, i think we need someone in charge who has more respect for the rules of the process.
Edward: I --
ron: I nominate ms. Johnson as fore-person.
Mrs. Albright: I second.
Epiphany: All right, i'll accept.
Ron: Good. All those in favor?
Edward: Oh, fine. Now, let's get on with it and find john zacchara guilty.
Elizabeth: I accept who you are and the life you've chosen. I don't have any illusions about this. I'm not secretly hoping that you're going just to throw it all out the window because we've slept together.
Jason: I just don't want people to know that you're close to me. I care about you.
Elizabeth: That's a little late. It came out in court last summe that we were involved.
Jason: It came out that we slept together. It's not the same thing as a relationship.
Elizabeth: Well, maybe that's my mistake. Maybe we don't actually have a relationship.
Leyla: Mrs. Jacks?
Carly: Yes.
Leyla: Apparently your husband damaged the tendon in his right hand. It's nothing too serious.
Carly: Ok, thank you.
Carly: Jerry. Are you here to see jax?
Jerry: Yeah, he wrecked his hand in a fall. I'm here to drive him home.
Carly: They won't tell me. They just say he's hurt. What happened?
Jerry: Well, he was free -- solo climbing, you know, without a rope or equipment, and then a rock gave way. But, thankfully, he grabbed a scrub on the way down. It could've been far worse than a hand injury.
Carly: That's crazy.
Jerry: That's an adjective that describes me more than it does jax. That's until his marriage ended. Since that night, he's been quite reckless. I hardly recognize my younger brother.
Kate: I haven't forgiven you yet. Although, i suppose i could manage to. After all, i do love you.
Sonny: That's a great start.
Kate: And i do believe that you were vulnerable.
Sonny: Yes.
Kate: And i do believe that carly would prey on that. And i could believe you when you say that you would never be with her again.
Sonny: Then what's stopping you?
Kate: Well, intentions mean very little where carly is concerned. The woman preys on her connection to you, right? She hates me. And i could foresee a possible future event where you're vulnerable again and she preys on it again.
Sonny: Then you leave me no choice. I hope you got a lot of white ribbon.
Kate: What are you doing?
Sonny: I'm going to break the mirror. I'm going to break that mirror right now if you don't marry me.
Kate: That isn't even remotely funny. Now put it down. Put it down.
Sonny: No.
Kate: You can't play on latent superstition to blackmail me into marrying you.
Sonny: You don't want to marry me. So that's the worst possible luck i could have. So i don't care to break that mirror. I'll break it right --
kate: No, no, don't, don't, don't. Don't.
Sonny: Why? Because sophisticated kate howard isn't remotely superstitious anymore? Because she left that behind, along with her name and her love for me?
Kate: Oh, that is so not fair. No, you know that i love you. Love is not the problem. I don't want to be hurt.
Sonny: You don't have to hurt anymore. All you have to do is believe me.
Kate: God, you want to make it sound easy, sonny, and it's not.
Elizabeth: You know, that first night we were together, i was so hurt and confused. I had just found lucky in my bed with maxie, and i came to you because i needed a friend. You know, that's what i told myself. But it was more. My marriage was over and you were the man i always wanted tobe with. And you were just as hurt and confused.
Jason: You saved me that night. I don't -- i don't know what i would've done if you hadn't shown up.
Elizabeth: I guess it was a combination of all that hurt and missed opportunities that brought us together. We took refuge in each other. But you're right. It wasn't a relationship. It was just one night that we were both able to escape reality. But since then, i've been trying to go back to that night. Because that was the one time that you let your guard down and you let me in. Is it possible to do that again?
Nadine: [Muffled] help!
[Nadine coughing]
lucky: Hey.
Sam: Hey. Oh, i guess i just -- oh, i must've dozed off for a minute.
Lucky: And had a bad dream.
Sam: Um...
Lucky: About what?
Sam: I -- gosh, lucky, i've got to get this place straightened up and i've got to order some dinner.
Lucky: For your date with jerry?
Sam: I need to get information about jerry, so we know that he's involved in the drug smuggling ring and expose him as the pig who is going after a mother and daughter, so my mother can finally -- finally be set free of him.
Lucky: I know. I know why you have to do this. I just -- i keep telling myself to only think of it as part of, i don't know, being undercover.
Sam: Yeah, i know. But you hate the idea of me playing up to him.
Lucky: How would you feel i was coming on to, say, claudia zacchara?
Sam: What, are you telling me you're attracted to --
lucky: No, only as a way into the mob. I just -- i just want you to see it from my side.
Sam: I would hate it, lucky. I hate what i'm doing. I hate that i'm good at working men and it's a way that i used to make a living at one time. It's -- it is not a part of my life that i am proud of, but, i don't know, i guess i figure, if i can put this questionable talent to use for a good cause, i -- i might as well. I just hope and pray that, in the process of doing this, that it doesn't change the way that you think about me or the way that you feel.
Lucky: Not a chance.
Jerry: You know, for -- for all his sophistication, jax is really a romantic at heart. He always believed in love, that there was a woman waiting for him, a life-lasting partner.
Carly: You didn't think he would ever find that.
Jerry: You know, jax's marriages fail because he was never realistic about the women that he was marrying. But you were different. You know, jax was very clear about who you are, what he was getting into. You know, you were the one that he was waiting for and he -- he put his heart on the line.
Carly: I know he did.I blew it.
Jerry: It's all right. You know, you're human.It happens. But, you know, there are limits. No man tolerates being cuckolded and the fact that it was sonny made it worse.
Carly: There's no excuse. I mean, there -- there were. We had just put michael in an institution and we were so overwhelmed with grief --
jerry: So you turned to a man you don't love and don't particularly trust, and, you know, a man who brought you pain and suffering.
Carly: I know. I know it makes no sense at all.
Jerry: Oh, no. On the contrary, it makes perfect sense. You don't trust to be happy, so you destroy what matters most. It's a tendancy that i'm very familiar with.
Carly: Well, if you understand --
jerry: No, i'm not jax, carly.
Carly: But if you think that i'm the one jax was waiting for, then maybe it's not over.
Leyla: You can take the splint off if you're bathing. Otherwise, it stays on 24/7.
Jax: Ok.
Leyla: Ok?
Jax: Very good.
Leyla: And you need to rest. No more mountain climbing in the near future.
Jax: I'm not going to make any guarantees, but thanks for the concern.
Carly: Jax.
Lulu: Mom. Mom?
[Lulu sighs]
lulu: I was so scared. I thought that you were gone again.
Laura: Oh, i'm just resting.
Lulu: You tired? You want me to go? I can leave you --
laura: No, please, don't. I want all the time i can have with you.
Claudia: I mean, assuming that you get out of this, i -- i just -- i don't want you to think that i'm ok with you and lulu on any level.
Johnny: Can we not fight about this now? You just did this great thing for me, and we gotta go here?
Claudia: I know, and you're full of gratitude and admiration for me and i need to take advantage of these situations as they ome.
Johnny: So much for the bonding moment.
Claudia: Well, we didn't have a lot of practice at it anyway, right?
Johnny: Unless you count trashing trevor's car when we were kids, the old sugar in the gas tank, banana in the tailpipe routine.
Claudia: His brand new lamborghini.
Johnny: He loved that car.
Claudia: Oh. Oh, my God, i didn't think that anybody's face could turn that many shades of purple. It was -- it was good. You know -- you know, if you walk out of here, daddy's going to want to do his own version of father-son bonding. And lulu's most definitely not going to be a part of that.
Johnny: We'll see.
[Door opens]
claudia: All hail the chief conquering hero. Oh, my God, if johnny walks out of here, you are going to write your own ticket.
Ric: Yeah, well, i wouldn't start celebrating just yet.
Anthony: Claudia really outdid herself. All those crocodile tears. I didn't think she had it in her.
Trevor: Yeah, she's always had a strange connection to john.
Anthony: What do you mean, strange?
Trevor: Don't tell me you never noticed that there is no other man in her life.
Anthony: Trev, you think there's a chance that lulu was telling the truth, that she really killed logan?
Trevor: Absolutely, it's possible. The fact is it doesn't really matter, because there is no evidence, and nobody will ever believe her.She's crazy.
Anthony: It's the most interesting thing about her.
Trevor: John's best bet is sitting in that jury room.
Epiphany: I think that we should go with the evidence of the case here.
Edward: What's the use? We all know that john zacchara did it. His sister told us.
Ron: His sister was being attacked by a guy that came through the door with an axe. That makes it self-defense.
Edward: Oh, God, there was no battered door. There was no axe. That was a story that was just fabricated. It was a desperate attempt just to throw us all off. The fact remains that a man, a police officer, is dead, stabbed in the gut by john zacchara.
Ron: What about the evidence?
Edward: We heard the evidence. All right, what do the rest of you folks think, huh?
Epiphany: Why don't we take a poll? Let's establish where everyone'sstanding on this.Those who think he's guilty, please raise your hands. Not guilty?
[Edward chuckles]
edward: We're the majority. The rest of you are holding us up.
Epiphany: Look, i am the foreperson on this jury, not you. This is about doing our civic duty, not hustling through and trying to finish this off quickly. Don't forget the fact that there is a man whose life is in the balance here and i want to make sure that we do it right.
