23, 2004 Transcript Faith and Justice are at the bar at the Haunted Star. Faith: Two no-nonsense martinis with a twist. That is how you like them, isn't it? Justus: That was a long time ago, but tastes change. Make mine a scotch, neat. You know, I still won't represent you. Faith: Oh. Don't worry. I have found an alternative. Not as personally inspiring as you, but she is very good in court. Justus: She? Faith: Mm-hmm. Alexis Davis is taking my case. Hmm. Here she is now. Maybe I've already been acquitted. Alexis walks up to them. Alexis: We need to go over a few pertinent details about your case. Justus: Think about this, Alexis. Are you sure you want to do this? Alexis: Even Ms. Rosco deserves representation. Faith: And I pay well. Justus: How much do you know about this case? Alexis: I know that her erstwhile business partner entrapped her -- Skye Quarter-- whatever it is she's calling herself these days. Justus: Oh. That's a good argument. It might even hold up in court, but don't make the mistake of believing Faith is innocent. Faith: So I’m not squeaky clean. Ric: Yeah, well, neither was Sonny. And you did brilliant work for him, right? Alexis: I'm so sorry to disappoint you, but Sonny doesn't have anything to do with this case. Ric: I never said that he did. Alexis: Your case is weak. Ric: No, it's open and shut. Alexis: I'm going to prove entrapment. Ric: Well, you're more than welcome to try. Alexis: Mrs. Rosco's business partner solicited the PCPD cooperation -- Ric: Wait, wait, wait, wait -- what's this? What, is this a brilliant display of your legal expertise in the courtroom? Am I supposed to be awed and intimidated and agree to drop the charges? Trust me, Alexis. You're not nearly as good as you seem to think. Alexis: You have grossly abused the power of your office. Ric: And you have coasted on a reputation that you built years ago. You were a wonderful litigator before -- Alexis: I am more than capable of proving that your office conspired to entrap Ms. Rosco. Faith: She's right. I'm the innocent victim of power-mad public servants. Ric: Right. [Phone rings] Ric: You'll excuse me. Lansing. Yeah, what's up? What do you mean; no one's heard from Ross Duncan? But what about all the emails? Ok. Um -- look, start a -- start a search. I want you to go back to the night that he disappeared, who he was seen with, and -- and the last time he was seen, ok? Thanks. Ric: On your own today? Sam: Look, Sonny's busy. Michael's in emergency surgery -- he might die. Ric: Well, I'm sorry. I know how much Sonny's children mean to him. Ric looks over at Alexis, who is speaking with Faith. Alexis: Take me through everything that happened the night you were arrested. Faith: The club was closed. I was standing at the bar with a briefcase full of money. Alexis: In other words, you're guilty. Faith: No, I was entrapped. Isn't that what you told Ric? Alexis: The fact that Ric Lansing is a smug, egotistical hypocrite and the fact that I can't wait to hand him a big, fat loss in court is the only reason that I am attempting to set you free. Alexis
leaves.
