26, 2004 Transcript Skye: Why on earth Luke would insist on having Alexis Davis as his attorney is beyond me. The woman is useless, not to mention unstable. Lucky: Ok, you're really not in a position to criticize. Skye: Excuse me, are you calling me unstable? Lucky: You appear to be at times. And, yeah, I suppose you could say the same about Alexis, but you know what, she's a damn good attorney and she's brilliant, all right, and that's what my dad needs right now. Skye: Oh, well, gee, here comes our savior now. Alexis: Where is he? Lucky: Interrogation One with Ric. Alexis: Great, it's like clockwork -- I walk in the office; he's already violated my client's rights. Let me see if I have the basics -- he protected Laura, and then Ric charged him with obstruction of justice. Skye: Old news. Lucky: Mm-hmm. Skye: He just added accessory to murder. Lucky: And the victim in question is a cop. His name was Ross Duncan. Skye: Are you going to be able to get Luke released? Alexis: There's a decent chance in that Ric has a tendency to overestimate the strength of his cases, let alone his prosecuting ability. Ric: Ah, right on cue. Alexis: Hey, just so there are no surprises, I want you to know that I will be pressing charges against you and the PCPD for violating my client's rights. Ric: Well, that hasn't happened Alexis: Did he ask you any questions? Luke: Yes. Alexis: Did he apprise you of your right to have an attorney present? Luke: Nope. Ric: Well, actually, that's not correct. Mr. Spencer was apprised of his legal rights at the time of his arrest, as he well knows. Luke has been in jail more times than Sonny. Today's his second time. Alexis: Ah, see there? We have my client's word against yours, and we certainly know the reputation of the sterling PCPD. But don't worry. I don't want you to worry because when you are disbarred, you can have a career as a novelist, because all of your charges are pure fiction. Ric: Oh, no. On the contrary, Mr. Spencer has offered a full confession without any prompting from me. Alexis: If you want me to help you, you are going to have to tell me the truth. What happened to Duncan? Luke: Well, I wasn't there, so there isn't much I can tell you. Alexis: I'll hear that. Luke: I walked in on the aftermath. Skye was unconscious on the couch. The detective was on the floor next to her with an ice pick in his back. Alexis: Are you sure that Skye didn't kill him? Luke: Yeah. My fear is that Laura may have done it. Alexis: Why? Luke: I don't know. To implicate Skye? I still think the most logical explanation is that this is all an elaborate setup, that one of my enemies has framed Laura, that she's still catatonic and being used. Alexis: This sounds awfully elaborate. Luke: I know, you're saying that I'm grasping at straws. And believe me, I wouldn't at all consider Laura a possibility if it weren't for the fact that I went to the hospital and I checked it out, and all indications are that she walked out of there on her own. Alexis: Where do you think she's hiding? Luke: I told you what you said you needed to hear. Now you got to do something for me. You got to get me out of here -- tonight. And it wouldn't hurt if you can clear Lucky of this, too. Alexis: I don't believe this. You aren't honestly arresting him now, are you? Ric: Afraid we are. Alexis: Well, this is absurd. I was in the next room. If he had done anything, I would have seen it. This is a carefully designed case of harassment against the Spencer family. Ric: Oh, come on. You don't seriously believe that, do you? Alexis: Save yourself the embarrassment and the bad press. Release Lucky and Luke now. Ric: Look, Lucky has already obstructed justice. Now he's compounded the offense by refusing to leave the station and he's trying to coerce Skye into retracting her statement against Laura. Alexis: A plea for leniency toward a desperately ill woman hardly constitutes a felony. Ric: Ms. Davis, you ever heard of witness tampering? It's in Basic Law 101. I'm sure you'll find it's very enlightening. Alexis: All right, all right, all right, already! Just tell me what you need to let him go. Ric: I want him to complete his leave of absence as he already started and I also want him to stay out of the Ross Duncan investigation. Lucky: Ok, can I say something here? Ric and Alexis: No. Alexis: Consider it done. Ric: I'm not finished. I also want somebody to be responsible for Lucky’s behavior. Alexis: Ah, there. How about Emily Quartermaine? She's a very nice girl. Will you please keep him out of trouble? Emily: I can do that. Alexis: There. Satisfied? Ric: Take the cuffs off. Alexis: If you release Luke on bond tonight, it might go a long way in mitigating some of the charges that I intend to press against you. Ric: You know what? I can see now where you got your stellar reputation. You can bluff with the best of them, can't you? But you know what I can do? Call. Luke stays incarcerated for the foreseeable future. Skye: Alexis is pulling out all the stops at the moment, but Ric isn't feeling very cooperative toward you right now -- something about a previous altercation? Luke: Nah, forget Lansing. Laura's waiting for me. You have to help me get out of here. Skye: Absolutely not.
