"There's Something Wrong with the Pregnancy"

Alexis: Have you heard anything?

Ric: No, not yet.

Alexis: Agent Marshall didn't contact you?

Ric: She will when she has news. How'd you sleep?

Alexis: I didn't sleep. I can't sleep. I can't believe I'm in the middle of this nightmare. I'm pregnant?

Ric: Yeah, it's a lot to process.

Dr. Meadows: Good morning to both of you.

Ric: Good morning.

Dr. Meadows: I'm glad you're here.

Alexis: Why?

Dr. Meadows: There's something wrong with the pregnancy.

Sonny: Somebody tipped off the cops.

Sam: What happened, exactly?

Sonny: Max -- he dropped me off at the park, right? I was alone in the gazebo. A cell phone rang. It was a woman.

Jason: Was it Faith?

Sonny: Maybe. She said that the park was crawling with cops and that I'll never see my daughter again.

Jason: Now, who else knew about the meeting?

Sonny: Ric. I trusted him. Now Kristina’s in worse danger.

Jason: We got to go.

Sam: No! What are you doing? No.

Reese: The cell phone was there. This whole area is your point of reference. Fan out in concentric circles. The kidnapper was probably watching Corinthos, so look for any points of surveillance, because that's where you'll find your key evidence. And our research indicates the kidnapper is a woman, so let's find her.

John: You blew it last night.

Reese: Morning. Lovely to see you, as always.

John: Maybe I can help you redeem yourself.

Alexis: What's the problem?

Dr. Meadows: I imagine it's been an emotional roller coaster, and that's why your blood pressure's so high. It's worse than the last time.

Ric: Hmm.

Alexis: When I get my daughter back and she's safe, I'll be able to take better care of myself, and I will.

Dr. Meadows: I don't have to remind you that the greatest risk of miscarriage is now, in the first trimester.

Alexis: I understand.

Dr. Meadows: I will keep Kristina in my thoughts and prayers and both of you, too.

Alexis: Thank you.

Dr. Meadows: And if you have any concerns at all, please contact me.

Ric: Thank you, doctor. We will.

Sam: Hey, you can't leave the hospital.

Jason: We've wasted too much time.

Sam: If you collapse again, you will slow the investigation down, Jason.

Sonny: She's right.

Jason: Sonny, if Faith is, you know, the kidnapper, she's not going to hurt Kristina. Kristina's her leverage.

Sonny: I hope you're right.

Jason: Look, we just -- we need to call Stan, make a list of contacts --

Sonny: Jason, I’m going to handle it, ok? You need to get better. At least you have Sam here to take care of you.

Jason: Sonny, what are you going to do?

Sonny: I'm going to find out every lead I can on Faith. I'm going to get some distance from the feds. I should have thrown that agent out the minute she showed up.

John: What were you thinking, bringing the police in here when the father was going to a meeting with the kidnapper?

Reese: The statistics are on my side.

John: Yeah, well, the statistics don't apply here. This wasn't a kidnapping for ransom. This is somebody who has a personal grudge against Sonny Corinthos. Flooding this park with police investigators was a tactical error. Now, the best way to redeem yourself is to focus on making a RICO case against Sonny.

Reese: Sonny Corinthos is not my assignment.

John: You botched your assignment, Agent Marshall. Catching Corinthos may be the only way that you have left to salvage what's left of your career, not that I got a lot of faith in you. How many days have you spent in his house now? What do you got to show for it?

Reese: I obtain my evidence in accordance with the law, less chance of getting suspended that way but, hey, that's just me.

John: I'm a bad enemy, Agent Marshall. Push me too hard and I will damn well make sure that you lose your badge. Are we clear?

Reese: It's my job to investigate. It's your job to prosecute. Back off. Are we clear?

Jason: Sam, Sonny needs my help.

Sam: Pushing yourself won't help anyone.

Jason: If Faith is the kidnapper, this just got a whole lot worse --

Sam: Faith is not going to destroy her leverage, just like you told Sonny, Jason.

Jason: Sam, don't -- I need to get out of here as soon as possible. Just help me -- help me stand.

Sam: No. Are you crazy?

Jason: I'm going to get better if I can just, you know, walk around a little bit.

Sam: All right. All right. I'll help you out of bed. We'll see what happens. But the first time you pass out, that's it, all right? It's back to bed after that.

Jason: Only if you're with me.

Ric: Hey. What happened last night?

Sonny: You know what happened.

Ric: Did you go to the park?

Sonny: What, F.B.I. didn’t give you a copy of the report? After all, you're the one who told them when and where I was meeting with the kidnapper.

Ric: I didn't tell Agent Marshall anything about the meeting.

Sonny: Don't lie to me.

Ric: I'm not lying. Sonny, why would I lie? We made an agreement. The kidnapper specifically said no cops. Why would I risk Kristina’s life?

Sonny: Because you wanted to play hero. You wanted to show Alexis that you could save Kristina when I couldn't keep her safe. What did you think was going to happen? They were going to arrest the kidnapper first and me second?

Ric: Sonny, I did not tell anyone.

Sonny: The kidnapper said that I would never see my daughter again, Ric. Anything happens to my daughter, it's on your head.

Ric: Sonny, I did not tell the feds anything about you meeting with the kidnappers. The information came from somebody else.

Elizabeth: Alexis, are you ok? Why did you call the nurses' station?

Alexis: Elizabeth, have you seen Agent Marshall around here at all?

Elizabeth: No, no, I haven’t.

Alexis: I need to talk to her and find out what she's doing to find my daughter. I thought they were getting close to a break, and I haven't heard from her.

Elizabeth: Alexis, I am so sorry. I know you must be out of your mind with worry --

Alexis: Sonny met the kidnapper in the park last night, and Agent Marshall sent the F.B.I. in for a stakeout, and I need to know what happened.

Reese: I've been assigned to recover Kristina and arrest the kidnapper, not build a case against Kristina’s father.

John: Are you protecting Sonny?

Reese: I am trying to save a little girl. It's vital I have the cooperation of the parents, and given what happened here last night, Sonny may never trust me. But if, by some miracle, he does and shares private information with me, I'm not going to use that against him.

John: Even if you find evidence of criminal activity?

Reese: It's beyond the scope of this investigation.

John: Are you sleeping with him already?

Reese: What kind of question is that?

John: Women find Sonny Corinthos irresistible, women who know better, women who feel terrible afterward. They compromise their jobs, their principles. They put their lives on the line. Have you already joined their club?

Reese: My relationship with Mr. Corinthos is limited to the scope of this investigation.

John: I wonder if your superiors feel the same way.

Carly: Are you discussing Sonny?

Carly: Look, I appreciate you trying to help, but I really need to speak to Agent Marshall alone.

John: Hmm. Well, you all know where to find me.

Reese: I take full responsibility for what happened here last night. I was acting on a tip. So if you're trying to blame me for --

Carly: I'm trying to thank you.

Elizabeth: Sonny? If you have a moment, can you go in and see Alexis? She's a wreck.

Sonny: What's wrong?

Elizabeth: Well, about the stakeout last night in the park? She told me that Agent Marshall sent in the F.B.I., but she hasn't heard anything, so she thought maybe if you had, you could --

Sonny: I cannot believe you tipped off the F.B.I.

Alexis: Did they find Kristina? What happened?

Sonny: Kristina's probably dead, thanks to you.

Sonny: How'd you know I was supposed to meet the kidnappers in the park?

Alexis: I heard you and Ric talking.

Sonny: Then you heard I was supposed to go alone, but yet you told Agent Marshall.

Alexis: I couldn't trust you to keep her from being kidnapped. How could I trust you to bring her back?

Sonny: The kidnapper said no cops. You called the cops anyway. What's wrong with you?

Alexis: Just tell me what happened.

Sonny: The kidnapper said I’m never going to see my daughter again.

Alexis: She could be lying.

Sonny: No, you don't know that, I don't. What I know is I had a chance to save my daughter last night, and you blew it. You put her life at risk, you interfered when you shouldn't have, and now our daughter could be dead.

Alexis: She's not dead.

Sonny: If the kidnappers decide to run --

Ric: Hey --

Sonny: They'll get rid of the evidence. They will kill Kristina --

Alexis: You want to give up on her, fine. I'm not giving up on her.

Sonny: I will tell you what's happening here. You cost us our last chance to save our daughter.

Ric: Hey, Sonny, enough.

Sonny: Do you know what she did, Ric?

Ric: I understand what happened, all right, but she's not supposed to get upset.

Sonny: Oh, I'm sorry that I’m upsetting you, because I'm telling you the truth.

Ric: She's pregnant.

Alexis: I found out yesterday.

Sonny: She's pregnant?

Alexis: I found out --

Sonny: I'm sorry, ok? What am I supposed to do, congratulate you?

Ric: Sonny, I’d like you to leave.

Sonny: Fine. You know what? Think of it this way -- if Kristina ends up dying, at least you have a backup -- your baby with Ric.

Carly: You saved Sonny's life last night.

Reese: Why do you think that?

Carly: Because he was going to trade himself for Kristina.

Reese: Sonny told you this?

Carly: Look, he didn't have to. I know how he thinks. I appreciate what you did.

Reese: Well, I'm glad someone does. But trading himself for Kristina -- doesn't that seem a little extreme?

Carly: Meaning what?

Reese: During your custody fight with Sonny, Alexis Davis made some serious allegations about his mental stability. She suggested a history of emotional instability and breakdowns, destruction of property, violent outbursts. What can you tell me about that? Is Sonny crazy?

Carly: Did you read the entire transcript of that trial or just the part that made Sonny look bad?

Reese: I'm trying to learn as much about him as I can.

Carly: Ok, well, you should know that I testified under oath that Sonny has never had a breakdown. He's not crazy. He's passionate, sure, ok? He yells. So do I.

Reese: All right, is he violent?

Carly: Sonny throws glasses sometimes. I throw stuff, too. We aim for the floor, we aim for the fireplace, we aim for a wall -- it's never each other.

Reese: So you're saying he's never had any breakdown at all?

Carly: No.

Reese: No dark moods, paranoia, irrational behavior?

Carly: Oh, of course not.

Reese: So why did Alexis bring it up at trial?

Carly: Because Alexis hates Sonny. She's a woman scorned, and I had no idea she was going to ask those questions until she got us on the stand.

Reese: Even though she was your attorney?

Carly: Alexis Davis is a nut case, not Sonny.

Reese: You're very loyal. I respect that. If you see him falling apart, I want you to tell me. Kristina's life is in the balance.

Alexis: I was trying to help her. That's why I told Agent Marshall.

Ric: I understand.

Alexis: What if something happened to her?

Ric: You just need to not get so upset.

Alexis: I need to find her.

Ric: We will.

Alexis: I need to find Agent Marshall.

Ric: I know, but we can call Agent Marshall.

Alexis: She's probably in the park looking for evidence, and I need to find out if she found anything at all.

Ric: Alexis, the F.B.I. will let us know if they get any leads whatsoever.

Alexis: I need to go find her myself.

Ric: Look at me, look at me. You have to calm down.

Alexis: No, I need to save my daughter.

Sonny: No. No, no, no. He couldn't have left the hospital. He's too sick. Can you check again? Jason Morgan. You sure he's not there? Ok.

Reese: We swept the park. We didn't find anything. Look, I shouldn't have ordered the stakeout without consulting you first, but if you had shown up alone, you might be dead.

Sonny: Better me than Kristina.

Reese: We've both made mistakes here.

Sonny: Yeah, yeah, right.

Reese: But if we could find a way to work together --

Sonny: Not a chance. Not a chance.

Ric: Alexis, you cannot leave the hospital.

Alexis: If I can, I'm not going to wait here one more minute. I need to do something.

Ric: Alexis, please, we will find Kristina.

Alexis: If something happens to her, it'll be my fault.

Ric: No, that's Sonny talking, and you know it, all right? I want you to calm down.

Alexis: Please, please, just help me find her.

Ric: I will. Please, all right? Could you just take it slow, all right? What's wrong? Alexis? Alexis? Alexis, what's wrong?

Alexis: Go get somebody.

Reese: Last night was a judgment call. Maybe I got it right, and maybe I didn't, but I have advanced F.B.I. training and years of field experience.

Sonny: You've got everything but my kid!

[Phone rings]

Sonny: Yeah.

Jason: Find the newspaper.

Sonny: Give me the newspaper.

Jason: Somebody sent flowers with a note. Find the classified ads for childcare.

Sonny: Classifieds, classifieds. Read it, Jason.

Jason: "Tell the concerned father to check the help-wanted ads in today's paper under childcare."

Sonny: All right. I'll let you know what happens. Right here.

Reese: I see it.

Sonny: Ok, it says, "Meet me in the park at the gazebo today at 3:00."
