Elizabeth: What is taking so long? Why can't she just tell them where Jake is?

Lucky: I don't know.

Elizabeth: I'm sorry. I'm sorry for venting. I know you're just as scared as I am. Wait, where are you going?

Sasha: I wasn't able to help the police.

Elizabeth: Where is my son?

Elizabeth: Where is Jake?

Sasha: I don't know.

Elizabeth: He's just a baby. He needs his mother.

Lucky: Elizabeth.

Sasha: Look, I understand that you're frightened and upset --

Elizabeth: Just tell me where he is!

Lucky: We'll find another way. We'll find another way.

Elizabeth: If anything happens to my son, I will see that you pay.

Lucky: Look, Elizabeth --

Sasha: Just leave her. She's not angry at me. She's angry at herself.

Elizabeth: Oh, don't you dare try to blame this on me.

Sasha: It's true. The only reason for taking your son would be leverage over your boyfriend Jason Morgan. Now, if you wanted your kids to be safe, you should've found someone else to date.

Elizabeth: Burn in hell, you evil bitch!

Lucky: Harper, get her out of here.

Harper: Come on, come on.

Spinelli: Adrift from Calypso's Island for many a moon, Odysseus washes up onto a new shore, staggers into an olive grove, and falls into a deep and peaceful slumber.

Maxie: Oh, Spinelli, I think she's sleeping. You're brilliant.

Spinelli: Okay.

Maxie: Aw.

Spinelli: I would suggest that tiny Emma is brilliant. Being transfixed by "The Odyssey" at such a tender age is most auspicious.

Maxie: Well, that story you told is pretty cool, especially the way you tell it.

Spinelli: I will continue to recount the epic to tiny Emma over the coming weeks, and Maximista shall keep us company.

Maxie: Cool.

[Phone rings]

Spinelli: Stone Cold, I'm greatly relieved to hear your --

Jason: Okay, do you have your laptop?

Spinelli: It is my fifth appendage.

Jason: Okay, good, I want you to search to see if the Russians acquired any properties around Watertown or the old Prentiss mines.

Spinelli: The nearest structure would be the River Roadhouse off of highway 11. I assume there's a sign.

Jason: Okay, good. That's good. What about -- what about weapons they may have?

Spinelli: A cache of automatic weapons was recently delivered to a warehouse near pier 14. Holding group for said warehouse is a Russian financial group. Figures and estimates point out that there could be a dozen men with Kalashnikovs and Gregorovichs.

Maxie: Oh, you look better.

Robin: What's going on?

Maxie: Spinelli's helping Jason.

Spinelli: Right.

Jason: Okay, thanks, Spinelli. The closest property is the River Roadhouse, about 15 minutes away.

Sam: You want me to call the cops?

Jason: No, no, I just want to see if Jake's there first, check out the warehouse, see how many Russians we're dealing with, and then we'll just figure out how to handle it.

Sam: Okay. You know, Jason, I didn't even know what it was like.

Jason: What?

Sam: A child being taken by strangers. I mean, really just not knowing if he's hurt or threatened, and knowing that he must be really scared and missing his family -- I just -- I just want to say that I know you must be torn up inside, and you're just -- you're acting really calm and you're -- you're just getting things done.

Jason: What other choice is there?

Nadine: Sorry for getting all weepy.

Nikolas: It's all right. You love your aunt.

Nadine: Yeah, I guess that's pretty obvious. I'm quoting her all of the time. She just had this knack for cutting right through all the hooey and hitting the nail right on the head, you know? I admire that about her. I admire pretty much everything about her.

Nikolas: She raised you, didn't she?

Nadine: Yeah, my dad died when I was 10. It was a botched surgery, probably another reason why I wanted to be a nurse. And my mom just sort of -- shut down after he died. She was gone emotionally a long time before she moved away. And Aunt Raylene was my dad's older sister, and she stepped right up to the plate and made me and my sister Jolene feel like the most wanted kids in the world. And she was grieving, too, but she said that life was for the living, so she would just take me to my horse shows, and encouraged me at 4H, and take us to the state fair every year, and we'd plant vegetables and play Scrabble. You should have seen her at my nursing school graduation. She was just hooting and hollering when it was time for the applause. Huh. And the only regret of this past time is being so far away from her.

Nikolas: Well, you talk to her on the phone all the time, right?

Nadine: Yeah, almost every day.

Nikolas: Mm-hmm.

Nadine: God, I don't know what I'd do without her, which is just silly. I mean, she would have no tolerance for this pity party.

Nikolas: Nadine, it's not -- hey, it's not pity. It's love.

[Door opens]

Man: I heard we had a visitor.

Nadine: Oh, Uncle Vance, this is Nikolas. Vance is Bo's father, Raylene's brother.

Nikolas: Oh, hi, pleased to meet you, sir.

Vance: Well, I'm mighty glad you're here, Nikolas.

Nikolas: You are?

Vance: Now I can look you right in the eye and ask you why you want to marry my niece.

Luke: Look what I made for you, spanks. A mango mai tai.

Tracy: Sounds revolting.

Luke: Oh, no, no, it's nectar of the gods. Have a little sip. It'll take the chill away.

Tracy: Let me get this straight. You ply me with alcohol. Then we end up in bed, and all our troubles magically disappear, right?

Luke: Why are you so suspicious?

Tracy: Let me count the ways.

Luke: My plan, if that's what you insist on calling it, is to merely lie on the beach with my lovely wife, drinking rum concoctions, watching the waves come in, and reminiscing about all of our shared adventures.

Tracy: You mean the many ways you conned me.

Luke: Reliving our romantic evenings.

Tracy: The ones when you weren't chasing other women?

Luke: The good times outweigh the bad, and you'd know that if you weren't so bullheaded.

Tracy: Bullheaded?

Luke: It's one of the things I love most about you.

Tracy: Can we have a reality check? No amount of misty water-colored memories is going to erase the fact that you chose Laura over me.

Luke: I did not choose Laura! You are my life. And no matter what it takes, I'm going to convince you of that.

Tracy: Read my lips. Give up.

Maxie: We would be happy to stay.

Robin: I know, and I appreciate it, but in the future, a rousing discussion of guns and ammo isn't the most appropriate cradle talk.

Spinelli: I was just seeking to assist Stone Cold.

Maxie: And you want to help Jason, right?

Robin: Of course I do, and I'm glad that you can help him, just not while you're babysitting my kid.

Maxie: Okay, well, are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself?

Robin: Yeah, positive. Actually, you were right about the shower. I feel like a new person.

Maxie: Okay, well, let us know if you need anything, because Spinelli was really wonderful with Emma. He told her a story that had absolutely no violence in it whatsoever.

Spinelli: Actually, Homer's Epic is rife with blood and gore, but the chapter I was discussing --

Maxie: The point is Spinelli has a way with Emma, just like Patrick.

Maxie: Oh, Emma really likes guys. I love that girl.

Robin: Yeah, I do, too. Mother and daughter will be just fine.

Maxie: Okay, well, call us if you need anything, like Spinelli.

Robin: Okay. Thanks, guys.

[Emma cries]

Leyla: How's the patient?

Patrick: Doing very well. Should make a full recovery.

Matt: I hate to say it, but he actually showed decent technique.

Leyla: Decent? We all know he's nothing short of brilliant in the O.R.

Epiphany: Please, not where Drake Jr. can hear you.

Patrick: No, it is true, Epiphany. I rocked that surgery, and it just goes to show that I can multitask.

Epiphany: Run that by me again.

Patrick: I'm just saying taking care of Emma, taking care of Robin, and holding on to a schedule here at the hospital, I can do it.

Epiphany: Weren't we having this conversation a little earlier, a little story about gain a baby, lose control?

Patrick: Okay, I'm just saying that I can handle it and I'm doing a pretty good job at it, so that's that, and I am going to ICU. You want to come with me?

Matt: Sure.

[Matt laughs]

Patrick: Hey, zip it. Enough.

Epiphany: Drake Jr., You're going home.

Elizabeth: That woman was right. I have no one to blame but myself for those men taking Jake.

Lucky: Elizabeth, Jason wanted to take you to a safe house that had guards. I insisted on you going to a cabin, and I didn't even go. You and Sam had to fight off those attackers alone.

Elizabeth: You had no way of knowing.

Lucky: No, I knew you were in danger. I should have taken every precaution.

Elizabeth: You warned me about what could happen. You told me to stay away from Jason for the sake of the boys. But I kept seeing him. I planned a trip to Italy.

Lucky: You're a good mother. I know you love those boys.

Elizabeth: Sometimes love isn't enough. Parents have a responsibility to protect their children. That's what you do, and that's why -- that's why I love that you're Cameron and Jake's father. But I have continued to put my own needs first.

Lucky: Stop. You are being too hard on yourself.

Elizabeth: Lucky, Jake is gone because those men knew that Jason cared about him, and they knew it because of me. It's as if I let my children go play on the railroad tracks or left them in a swimming pool unattended. What kind of mother does that?

[Men speaking Russian]

Sam: Okay, at least they're speaking the right language.

Jason: Okay, we need to plan this carefully. This could be a setup to ambush me.

Sam: Well, there's only one way to find out.

Jason: No, no, no, no, no. Look, where are you going?

Sam: I worked for Karpov, Jason, so technically I'm on the payroll. I'm going to go in there, and I'm going to order a drink, and I'm going to see what's going --

Jason: We need to be sure that Jake is here first.

[Emma cries]

Robin: Baby, I love you. I'm your mommy. I'm right here. Come on. Your diaper's changed. You're fed. You're burped. That's your cue to look up at me and gurgle. That's gurgle, not scream. Okay, maybe I'll call up Maxie, tell her to bring Uncle Spinelli back. Will that make you feel better?

Patrick: Hey.

Robin: Hey, thank God you're here.

Patrick: Why, is she being cranky?

Robin: Cranky is one way to call it. Imitating a siren would be another.

Patrick: Oh. Let me see her.

[Emma cries]

Patrick: Hey, sweetheart. How's daddy's little girl? Come here. Oh, here she is. Hey, how are you?

[Emma whimpers]

Patrick: How are you? I showed everybody at work today pictures of you, and they were saying how much of an angel you are. So what do you want to do? You want to go for a walk with mommy? You want to go for a walk? We could go to the park, huh?

Robin: This is completely unfair.

Patrick: Okay, well, we could go to the harbor or something.

Robin: No, that's not what I mean. I mean you and Emma. I mean, I'm on the verge of hearing loss because she's been screaming all night. You walk in the door, take one look at her, and then suddenly, she stops, so what's your secret? Why are you so good at parenting, and how do I learn?

image

Luke: Penny for your thoughts?

Tracy: I'm not a religious woman, as you know, but I am praying to God that he stop the rain so I can get the hell out of here.

Luke: Well, while the monsoon rages, I see no reason why we should be on opposite sides of the room. I brought a deck of cards.

Tracy: Don't interrupt my prayers.

Vance: You got a job, Nikolas?

Nikolas: Self-employed.

Vance: That's a fancy word for bum.

Nadine: You're so wrong.

Bo: What'd I tell you, Dad? This guy's a freeloader.

Nadine: He is not. He is a very successful businessman.

Bo: Or so he says.

Nadine: No, he has an entire island that he owns with this gigantic --

Nikolas: Nadine, it's all right. It's okay, it's okay, it's --

Nadine: No, he's an actual prince.

[Bo and Vance snicker]

Vance: Honey, I don't know what this guy's been shoveling your way, but we don't have any princes in this country.

Nikolas: I think what Nadine is referring to is the fact that I'm descended from Russian nobility, so --

Bo: You're just throwing that phony title around to trick Nadine into marrying you, so you can be a citizen without -- without going through the proper channels.

Nadine: Now, hold on just a second, okay? Nikolas never even asked me to marry him, all right? In fact, he's been telling me that he doesn't need any help with all of his citizenship.

Nikolas: It's okay. It's okay. My attorneys are exploring other options. It'll all be fine, but I understand your family's concern.

Vance: I don't know if you're sincere or if you're playing us, Prince Nikolas, but in any case, you're going to have to marry our Nadine, and soon.

Nadine: What are you talking about?

Vance: It's Raylene's fondest wish to see you married before she dies.

image

Sasha: The police have no evidence.

Man: Where's the boy?

Sasha: At a location near the border.

Man: Will Morgan be able to find this place?

Sasha: Shouldn't be a problem.

Man: Good. When Morgan shows up, kill him.

[Men speaking Russian]

Sam: What do you want to do?

Jason: We can't risk calling the cops. If the Russians hear them, they could hurt Jake. We have to get Jake ourselves.
