20, 2004 Transcript Ric and Jim are at Kelly's, seated at a table. Ric: (to Jim) My gut is screaming at me that Sonny is the natural father of Alexis' child. All I got to do is prove it. (Alexis enters and heads for the front counter) Let me take it. Alexis. Alexis: No, whatever it is, please call my office. Ric: Well, first I'd like to talk to you about Sonny and his role as a father. Ric: (to Alexis, as she is walking through the diner. She comes over to him) Oh, expect to hear from my office. I've subpoenaed all the records from the Corinthos custody case. Alexis: Why? (sits down) Ric: Because you made serious allegations about Sonny's criminal activities. Alexis: I was trying to win Carly custody of her children. Ric: Mm-hmm. Alexis: That was what I was hired to do, and none of those documents can be used in a criminal prosecution. Ric: Why are you covering for him? Alexis: I'm not. Ric:
The only thing that I can think of is you're worried about some
sort of repercussions. What does Sonny have on you? (she looks
appreshensive) Ric: Look, you've obviously made some poor choices where Sonny is concerned, but now you're worried about some sort of retaliation from somewhere about something that I don't know. Alexis: Try to grasp this -- I never participated in or had any knowledge of Sonny's alleged criminal activity. I was his lawyer on retainer. Everything I did was completely legal. (to the waitress, who has handed her her food) Thank you. Ric: Mm-hmm. You know what? You're very good; you're very professional. You're also very detached and, you know, a little bit condescending. I don't particularly mind that, but you're lying through your teeth. Alexis: How do you know that? Ric: You admitted to sleeping with Sonny during the custody trial. Is this standard practice as a lawyer on retainer? Alexis: (holding her finger up) One night. That was one night, one regrettable lapse in judgment that could have and should have been forgotten long ago if it weren't for Carly. At the hospital Ric:
See, it's a matter of public record that you did a D.N.A. test
in October of 2002. Ric: Yeah, well, I'm interested in one in particular -- Kristina Ashton Davis. Man: I'd have to look it up. Ric: That's ok. I already know the test results. I want the real ones. Man: Somebody must have given you the wrong name or something. Ric: Is that it? Man: You need to know I didn't want to do this. Mr. Ashton said it's what the mother wanted because the real father was a dangerous man. Ric: Which is Sonny Corinthos, right? Man: It's all right here. The D.N.A.'s a perfect match. Sonny Corinthos is the father. Ric: Thank you, Jeff. The state thanks you. You did the right thing. Ric: Do you have any idea what the penalty is for tampering with medical records? Man: I'd lose my job. Ric: No, you'd go to jail, unless you cooperate with my office. Might be able to grant you immunity if you give me the truth now. Man: I remember the test. I switched the results. Ric: All right, I need the truth. Is Sonny Corinthos Kristina Davis' real father? Alexis: Good, I'm glad you got the message. Carly: What? I am here to see -- Alexis: What have you told Sonny about Kristina? Carly: Nothing. Alexis: I am being threatened constantly, specifically about my fitness as a parent. Carly: Oh, so Sonny thinks you're a bad mother? You think he's a bad father. Big deal. Alexis: If you told Sonny that Kristina is his daughter and you're stringing me along so he can lay groundwork for a custody battle, I'm going to find out about it. Carly: Listen, if Sonny knew Kristina was his daughter, she would be out of your house and she would be out of the country. He wouldn't bother with you or the legal system. He would take her away from you, and it is exactly what you deserve, so do not tempt me. Alexis: What heinous crime have I ever committed against you, Carly, that you make me pay for one night of misjudgment with your husband every minute of every day, and then you expose my indiscretion in open court? Carly: Well, if sleeping with him and having his child wasn't enough, you brought up the subject of his breakdowns on the stand. And you know what, it backfired in your face because Sonny now truly does hate you, and the only reason that Kristina is still yours is because I haven't opened my mouth. Don't push me, Alexis. Really, honestly, I don't know why I shouldn’t. Alexis: Because I saved your butt when you deserved to have your children taken away from you. Carly: What did you just say to me? Alexis: I said you are a horrible woman -- Carly: Oh, you think so? Alexis: And a rotten mother. Carly: And? Sonny: Who are you to lecture anyone on what it is to be a good mother? Carly's here because she's helping her son fight for his life. The doctor had to drag her away from Michael. Speaking of children, where's Kristina? Do you even care? Alexis: Who the hell do you think you are? Sonny:
How far you going to push me, Alexis? Until I push back? Until I
see that kid of yours with her father?
