"It's Not About Blame At All"

Alexis: I got a call from the police. They found something of Carly's.

Sonny: I saw Zander.

Alexis: So did I.

Sonny: She wanted to bring me the birthday card from Michael.

Alexis: There's no way that we could have known.

Sonny: I know her. I know what it did to her. I don't know why I let this happen.


Sonny: The police said she was going at least 70 when she crashed through the guardrail. 70 miles an hour at night, in the fog, on a blind turn. You know why? Because she couldn't see what she was doing. All she could see was me with you.

Alexis: They will find her because she doesn't give up. She survives things. That's why you love her.

Sonny: I bet she wasn't afraid until the car started sliding, till she realized that it was headed over the edge. You know how accidents are. You know, everything slows down. You have time to think, time to be afraid. She'd have been terrified for michael. She'd have been afraid that she was -- she'd have been afraid that he'd be without her.

Alexis: Is he all right? Michael, I mean. Is he all right?

Sonny: A.J. went after him today.

Alexis: I will not let that happen. I promise you, A.J. will never get near Michael.

Sonny: A.J.'s convinced that, you know, Carly's gone and he can step in now and take Michael, now that Carly's dead.

Sonny: Carly's dead.

Sonny: I wanted to believe Michael's story, you know? I wanted to -- kids see what they want to see, not what's true.

Alexis: Nobody knows what's true.

[Phone rings]

Alexis: Hello?

Kristina: Alexis, where are you? Are you ok? I have been trying to get ahold of you for hours. I've been worried sick about you.

Alexis: I'm fine.

Kristina: You were anything but fine the last time i saw you. Listen, do you need me right now? Should I come and get you? Just tell me where you are, I'll be right there.

Alexis: I'm with Sonny, all right?

Kristina: What happened?

Alexis: Nothing, we're talking.

Kristina: Do you need me to come over there?

Alexis: I will get a ride home. I will be fine, all right? I'll talk to you later.

Ned: Is Alexis all right?

Kristina: No. I mean, she said she was, but I know that she wasn't.

Ned: Everyone's upset.

Kristina: I know, but something else happened. You know, I saw Sonny earlier tonight when i was over at Zander's, and he was so shaken. And I know -- I mean, I know that everyone is upset about Carly, but it was something else. I could tell, I could feel it. I think there's something going on between Alexis and Sonny -- something more than Carly.

Ned: Kristina, just let it go. There's nothing you can do to fix it.


Sonny: I wanted to believe that he was right. I wanted to believe that she was just going to come home and I'd thank god and she'd have some lame excuse and I'd scream at her like I always do. We fought all the time and, you know, we fought with each other, for each other, but this last time, she didn't fight. She left.

Sonny: She saw us together. She went to Zander for payback. And when she didn't get that, she went crazy and got behind the wheel. Zander said it was about me, and he was right.

Sonny: Carly's dead because of me. I killed her.

Alexis: Please don't do this to yourself.

Alexis: This isn't your fault, and it's not about blame at all.

Sonny: Carly saw us together. Now she's gone unless --

Alexis: Carly was someplace that she shouldn't have been and saw something that she shouldn't have seen. It was a horrible coincidence, and I wish to god that it had never happened. But that doesn't make it your fault, and it doesn't make it mine.

Sonny: It's not just about that night. I -- I kept Carly in some kind of limbo for about a year. I -- I pushed her away, but i never let her go. I'm responsible.

Andy: Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: What did you find?

Andy: One of the divers found this shoe at the bottom of the lake, not far from where the car was recovered. I just need to know whether you can I.D. it.

Sonny: That's Carly's. I -- she had six pairs like this. She --

Sonny: I'm taking you home, ok? All right?
