"Now We Can Concentrate on Phase Two"

Ric: Sam McCall is our primary suspect in the kidnapping.

John: Mm-hmm, with Sonny as her accomplice.

Reese: Sonny had nothing to do with it.

John: Oh, yeah? What are you talking about? You're the one who arrested him.

Sonny: Stop letting fear cloud your judgment. I did not take Kristina. Neither did Sam.

Alexis: I think your judgment may be clouded. I'm convinced, I'm convinced that you didn't have anything to do with abducting Kristina, but I think that Sam did. And as long as you're protecting her, as long as you're protecting Jason, you are acting as their accomplice.

Carly: Hey. Something on your mind?

Michael: Well, have the kidnappers sent a ransom note for Kristina?

Carly: I think it's best if you don't think about that.

Michael: Well, have they?

Carly: No.

Michael: Isn't that what kidnappers do? They steal a kid and then they send a ransom note. The parents pay the money and then they get the kid back. So why doesn't dad just pay a lot of money to get Kristina back?

Carly: Sweetheart, I know you're worried about your little sister -- I know you are, so am I -- but I want you to know that your dad is doing everything that he can to bring Kristina home.

Ofc. Serino: I have a search warrant.

Enzo: I don't care. I have my orders, like you, ok? You're not getting in.

Ofc. Serino: It doesn't matter what your orders are, pal, ok? I got this piece of paper here. I've got a search warrant.

Carly: What is going on?

Steven: I just got the call, and apparently Jason helped Sam escape and they think he might be hiding here with her.

Carly: They're not.

Ofc. Serino: I still have to look.

Carly: Michael, i want you to go in your room, please. Don't worry, everything's ok. Enzo, I want you to go with the officer. You make sure that he doesn't break anything, but don't interfere with the search. Hey -- i have another son, and he is in his room with his nanny, and if you do anything to upset or frighten him, i will have you charged with police brutality.

Steven: Carly, please try and relax. I give you my word he's just going to do his job.

Carly: Is it really necessary? Is it necessary that they come into my house and they scare my children, having to search in the middle of the night?

Steven: No one's trying to scare michael and morgan, but Sam kidnapped Kristina and Jason's helped her escape. It's totally reasonable for the police to think that they might've come here.

Carly: You know what, Jason doesn't think that Sam's a kidnapper. You know, maybe he's right, maybe she didn't take Kristina.

Faith: You're going to have lots of fun here, Kristina. I've got toys, coloring books, videos -- whatever you want. This is going to be fun for you. Now, your parents are a different story. Your father, Sonny, killed my husband. Now, do you think that was very nice? Not at all. And then he got your mother, Alexis, and your stepfather, Ric, to help him send me to prison. Now, if someone did that to you, would you let them get away with it? Of course you wouldn't. You would get revenge, just like I'm doing. It's good to know we think alike, Kristina. Those people haven't even started to pay for what they did to me.

Alexis: I understand that you don't want to believe that Sam is capable of doing something so horrible.

Sonny: She didn't do it, Alexis.

Alexis: I understand. I understand that you have sympathy for her.

Sonny: Not enough to let her walk away with my daughter.

Alexis: I even understand why you don't want to believe that Jason could be disloyal to you, but he's not thinking clearly right now. He can't see the truth about Sam, but you don't have that luxury because Kristina has been taken away from everything that she loves. She has been taken away from everything that makes her feel safe and familiar. At best, she's with strangers. At worst, she's in physical danger. You're her father, and you need to love her more than you do your loyalty to Jason or your guilt for Sam. You tell the police where they are.

Reese: I arrested Sonny as a ploy. I wanted to pressure him into giving up the location of his safe houses, which would lead us to morgan and McCall.

Ric: Yeah, well, Sonny doesn't respond well to pressure.

John: Doesn't matter. We have him dead to rights.

Ric: Really, how do you figure that?

John: Sonny ordered the security system in his house turned off, which cleared the way for Sam to take his daughter, and then he aided in Sam's escape along with Jason morgan. Now, that all adds up to collusion, and I'm going to make it stick.

Ric: That's a fantast-- you know, John, you were suspended from the justice department once for cutting corners to try to bust Sonny.

John: I have a very strong case!

Ric: It's complete prefabrication!

John: I see no reason to walk away from it!

Reese: All right, that's enough! Arguing amongst ourselves is not going to bring that little girl back. Wait here, ok?

Reese: John durant is ready to file kidnapping charges against you. I may be able to stop him, but that'll depend on you.

Sonny: What do you want?

Reese: The locations to all your safe houses, every one of them.

Alexis: Tell her where they are.

Sonny: Sorry. No deal.

Ofc. Serino: There's no sign that morgan or McCall have been here. You can check it out if you like. You can follow it up if you like here.

Steven: It's fine. I appreciate it. I'm sure you're very thorough. Thanks.

Carly: You know, the police are wasting their time. Jason is an expert at disappearing.

Steven: Maybe not this time. Carly, Jason got shot.

Carly: What? How bad?

Steven: The shooter was an f.B.I. Agent, so there's a pretty good chance that he's going to be hurt too badly to travel.

Carly: Why did he shoot Jason?

Steven: It's actually a she. The agent's a kidnap expert named Reese marshall, and she shot Jason because, as i mentioned, he was helping Sam escape.

Carly: Well -- so, what, did she give him a chance to surrender, or what?

Steven: I don't, Carly. I mean, he was committing a felony, and so, procedurally, she would've given him some sort of warning --

Carly: You don't know and you're taking her side?

Steven: I'm not taking her side. Look, Sam kidnapped Kristina. Jason's helping her escape. The agent's got to do something!

Carly: Get out! Get out!

Steven: It's a child's life in danger!

Carly: Out.

Steven: What?

Carly: You heard me. No one stands in my house and says it's ok to shoot Jason. I want you to leave.

Steven: That's what you think -- that's not what I'm saying!

Carly: I'm serious, steven, get out.

Steven: You don't think you're overreacting?

Carly: Not when you defend a woman that shot Jason. No, not at all.

Steven: I'll let you know if i hear anything.

Alexis: I don't understand you. I don't know if you're in denial or you're just unspeakably selfish, but what you're doing, what you're allowing to have done to our daughter is unconscionable.

Reese: I feel for you, Sonny. I do. Not knowing where your daughter is or when she's coming back? This isn't the first kidnapping case i've worked. I know what it can do to parents.

Sonny: Does this act usually work for you, agent marshall, because it's not doing anything for me.

Reese: What makes you think it's an act?

Sonny: You're not interested in helping me or my daughter. You're looking to cover your butt because Sam escaped on your --

Reese: I shot Jason morgan as he escaped. He's supposed to be your friend. Telling me where he is could get him back and save his life.

Sonny: Jason can take care of himself.

Reese: And what about Kristina? Can she take care of herself, too?

Sonny: I will do anything, I will give up anybody to get my daughter back safely. But Sam did not take her.

Reese: If you're wrong --

Sonny: The kidnappers are going to contact --

Reese: You could be hurting your daughter.

Sonny: The kidnappers are going to contact us --

Reese: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: Ok? We're going to give them what they want, and this whole thing will be over.

Reese: Are you willing to bet jail time that you're right?

Sonny: The charges against me are a joke!

Reese: All right, John durant is involved now, and he's put people in prison for a lot less. Call your lawyer, Sonny. Go ahead. You're going to need one.

Alexis: He's in denial. He refuses to believe that Sam had anything to do with this and he's not going to cooperate.

John: I'm going to need a statement from you detailing Sonny's actions regarding the kidnapping, particularly any suspicious behavior or deliberate interference with the investigation.

Alexis: Is that all this means to you, just another shot at a conviction of Sonny?

John: I am deeply committed to the safe return of your daughter. Pressuring Sonny may be the only way to do that.

Alexis: I want everybody in this department looking for my daughter, no distractions, no other agendas. My daughter is out there somewhere, and it is your job to find her.

[Phone rings]

Carly: Hello?

Sonny: I've been arrested for kidnapping Kristina. I need you to talk to your father for me.

Carly: Hey, Sonny, I wanted -- to talk to you first before IS spoke to my father.

Sonny: That's a good idea. Carly -- I'm sorry, what's your name again?

Reese: Agent Reese Marshall.

Carly: Oh, so you're the one who shot Jason?

Reese: As he tried to escape.

Carly: Oh, did he have a gun?

Reese: There wasn't time to look.

Carly: Oh, so you shot first and you ask questions later? Is that standard f.B.I. Procedure?

Sonny: I need to speak to Carly, alone.

Alexis: What is Carly doing in there?

Reese: Sonny called her and asked her to come down.

John: Sonny may be morally bankrupt, nobody ever said he was stupid.

Alexis: What does Carly know about whoever took Kristina?

Ric: Nothing. Durant doesn't care. See, he's going after Sonny to get leverage with Carly.

Carly: First, she shoots Jason, then she has you arrested for kidnapping your own child? Is she out of her mind?

Sonny: She's trying to manipulate me. Agent marshall wants me to give up the places where Sam and Jason, you know, might be hiding out. Unfortunately, your father got involved and made things more complicated. He knows he doesn't have a case against me. So he threatened to prosecute me for kidnapping Kristina to get to you.

Carly: Oh. I just don't -- I don't get it.

Sonny: Well, Durant is hoping that I'll ask you, you know, to get him to help me, right, so then he'll say yeah, you'll be grateful, and he'll have another chance to be your daddy.

Carly: So, Sonny, what do you want me to do?

Sonny: Give him exactly what he wants.

Sonny: Sam broke in to rob the safe in my room, where Kristina happened to be taking a nap. The real kidnappers, they saw her on the spy cameras, right --

Carly: Mm-hmm.

Sonny: And they framed Sam to take the attention off themselves.

Carly: So charging Sam and you with kidnapping is a total waste of time.

Sonny: Yeah, well, see, but durant -- he doesn't see it that way. He thinks it's a road back to his daughter.

Ric: You know, I'd be happy to report to your superiors that you're abusing the power of your office by using the kidnapping to further your own personal agenda.

John: You're Sonny's brother. You're Kristina's stepfather. You're way too close to this investigation to be objective.

Alexis: And you took an oath to uphold the law. You're required to find my daughter.

Ric: Excuse me for a minute. Come here. Listen, I want you to know, barring anything else, Sam would never hurt Kristina.

Alexis: What if she gave her to someone else?

Ric: No. Jason wouldn't allow that.

Alexis: And I'm supposed to trust him now?

Ric: No, no, no, not in the least. But you also got to know that Jason would never willingly participate in helping Sam kidnap one of Sonny's children.

Alexis: What are we supposed to do now?

Ric: We keep hoping that Jason is going to convince Sam to return Kristina unharmed.

Alexis: How long do you think that's going to take?

Ric: You're exhausted. Why don't you just let me take you home?

Alexis: I think I can get there myself. In fact, I'd prefer it.

Carly: So what is it going to take for you to drop the charges against Sonny?

Carly: You trapped Sonny, and then you got yourself suspended so you could exonerate him, and i did not go running into your arms with gratite. So now you're trying to blackmail me into being the good daughter. So tell me, what is it you want, hmm? You want sunday brunch with the family? You want a card on father's day? You tell me, what is it? What is it, and what is it going to take for you to stop accusing Sonny of a crime that he did not commit?

John: I want a chance. I want an honest, open opportunity to put the past behind us and to reconnect with you. That's all.

Carly: You let Sonny go, and then i will give you my word that i will try.

John: Kick Sonny loose. I care about you, Carly.

Carly: Mm-hmm.

John: I want to try to prove it to you.

Carly: Well, you picked the wrong way to go about it.

Sonny: Thank you.

Carly: You're welcome.

Ric: Sonny, Sam still has Kristina. How long are you going to let this go on?

Sonny: I'm going to tell you right now, Sam did not kidnap Kristina, somebody else did. I'm going to find her.

Ric: What about you? You still think that Sam is guilty?

Faith: Shh. She's sleeping. Is it done?

Man: Rollo's apartment has been swept clean. There's nothing left that could tie him to you.

Faith: Very good. Now we can concentrate on phase two.

Sonny: Get out of here. You can't find my daughter, I don't want you here.

Reese: If Sam didn't take Kristina, then whoever did invested a lot of time and money to set this thing up. And the only way I'm going to find them is if i understand why someone would hate you so much.

Sonny: Ask around. I got a lot of enemies.

Reese: Yeah, but which one hates you enough to come at you through your daughter? I can't ask the kidnapper, so I'm asking you. And I'm staying here until I know who you are, how your mind works, and why someone would want to destroy you by taking your child.
