Morgan and Kristina are Found

Jason: Are they sure that the blood's Michael's?

Reese: Yes. But the sample is relatively small, so it could've come from a cut or a scrape. But there's also a chance that the shot Sonny heard over the phone was real and Faith fired at Michael.

Sonny: Looks like she's being revived.

Carly: I never thought I would pray for the day that I wanted Faith Rosco to live.

Sonny: As long as she lives long enough to tell us where the children are, she can go straight back to hell where she belongs.

Carly: I'm sure Michael gave her a run for her money.

Sonny: He's a resourceful kid.

Carly: Sonny, it amazes me. It amazes me that he had the presence of mind to do all the things that he did. You know, leaving us clues, stealing a cell phone to call you? He's more like you every day. He's willful. He's relentless. He's always trying to figure out the odds.

Sonny: He's just like his mother, you know? Never gives up. His mind starts clicking, right, working out schemes for getting what he wants.

Carly: That's why I know he's ok and the other kids are ok. You know, he's not a typical 9-year-old. He's not.

Doctor: Ms. Rosco's vitals have stabilized.

Sonny: How soon can I speak to her, Doctor?

Doctor: We don't know when she'll regain consciousness. In fact, it's possible she never will.

Jason: What do you got?

Reese: Just got an update on the tire tracks. They're fairly new Perry 352 radials, which is brand most commonly used in fleet or rental cars. So I've got my people working on it now, identifying and looking for cars with Perry tires that have recently been rented or sold.

Sam: What about the shovel?

Reese: Faith's fingerprints are on the shovel. That's why she was covered in mud.

Jason: Faith -- Faith must have been digging in the swamp.

Reese: Well, I told the sheriff to bring out the search dogs.

Carly: You know Faith's been shot before. She's going to regain consciousness, Sonny.

Sonny: She better be. Oh, you decided to come?

Ric: We wanted to be here when the children were found.

Carly: I thought you were supposed to be on bed rest.

Alexis: Dr. Meadows gave me permission to go.

Ric: So I gather there was some kind of a shootout at the church?

Alexis: How's Faith?

Sonny: She's still unconscious.

Ric: Any more news on the children?

Sonny: They'd been at the church and they were gone by the time we got there.

Alexis: Any leads?

Carly: There's tire tracks. Tire tracks and the phone call that Michael made to Sonny.

Alexis: He called you?

Sonny: He called me on a cell phone. I heard a gunshot, and then the line went out.

Alexis: Oh, god.

Ric: You still don't know what happened?

Sonny: Well, I think it was just, you know, Faith playing mind games, trying to torment us.

Ric: That's been her whole plan from the start, Sonny.

Sonny: Well, you know --

Carly: Alexis, maybe you should sit down.

Alexis: Ok. Listen, Sonny's theory makes a lot of sense. I really believe that Michael's alive.

Carly: Of course he is. They all are. They all are.

Alexis: That's good. I admire your certainty.

Carly: Look, Alexis, who's ever working with Faith and who's holding the children, they're waiting for orders. Nothing's going to happen to them while she's unconsciousness.

Ric: I owe you an apology for setting this whole thing in motion.

Sonny: Where do you get that, Ric?

Ric: I played Faith for my own purposes, Sonny. Come on, I used her, I turned on her. Ultimately, it led to all of this. Faith took Kristina first. She's my niece. She's my stepdaughter. Her rage has been directed at me.

Sonny: Faith didn't take Michael and Morgan to get back at you, Ric.

Ric: I know that, Sonny, but she did all this, started it because of me.

Sonny: She's a nut case. She's been that way way before you laid eyes on her. She killed her grandmother, for god's sakes. She threatened all three of us -- you, me, and Alexis. You heard her on the way to Pentonville. She was going to tear all our hearts out, one by one? This is no more your fault than it is mine.

Sam: Hey, I know -- I know it's hard to sit and wait, but I am sure that we're going to hear good news soon. They're going to find that car and they're going to find the kids, all three of them, Jason. Look, I know you're worried about the shovel, but just because Faith was digging, it doesn't mean that the kids aren't going to be all right.

Jason: You're right. Ahem. You're right. It could be anything.

Sam: Look, I know this sounds silly, but I really believe in positive thinking. There have been times when I have been in an impossible situation and I would tell myself over and over again that everything would be all right and I'd get out of it, and -- and I did. So maybe if you just kept telling yourself that Michael was going to be ok and stop focusing on the worst -- just think about Michael, Jason. Think about what an amazing, strong kid he is. Just tell yourself he's going to be ok.

Reese: The tires were a type most commonly found on rental or fleet vehicles, so we're looking into that now.

Alexis: Did you find any footprints near the tire tracks?

Reese: Yes. A size seven toddler footprint.

Alexis: Ok, so -- so, obviously, Kristina might've been led from the church to the car.

Reese: Right, we're assuming that she was led and Morgan was carried from the rear exit of the church to the car.

Carly: And what about Michael?

Reese: There's D.N.A. evidence to indicate that he was at the church, also.

Sonny: What kind of D.N.A. Evidence?

Reese: A small amount of blood, Sonny.

Carly: From the gunshot?

Reese: Well, the amount indicates a minor wound, like a scrape or a cut, so it's too small for a bullet wound.

Sonny: What about the shovel? Has it been analyzed for prints?

Reese: Faith's prints are on the shovel. We have search dogs surrounding the area of the church right now, so --

[Phone rings]

Reese: Excuse me for a second. Hello? Sheriff Baker. Any news yet? Ok. Thank you.

Sonny: What?

Reese: Sheriff Baker thinks that he might have found a grave.

Alexis: If they found Kristina's footprints, it must mean that she's alive.

Ric: We don't know what happened yet, ok?

Alexis: Faith is capable of doing anything. Do you think that she hurt Michael?

Ric: I don't know. Carly's strong, but I don't know any -- any parent who can endure the loss of a child. Carly would sooner dive into that grave herself than find out that it was dug for Michael.

Lorenzo: Hey. Take a break.

Carly: You know, Michael must have -- he must've put up a fight when they wanted him to go from the church. They probably had to carry him kicking and screaming to the car.

Lorenzo: Which would explain why his footprints weren't found.

Carly: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Exactly. And the amount of blood that they found -- Reese said it was from a minor wound, so he must have gotten a scrape or something when he was fighting back. Faith's keeping him alive. She is, I know it.

Lorenzo: Yeah, Faith wants control over Sonny. Having the kids gives her that.

Carly: Hmm, people bury pets around here all the time. You know, I'm sure there's going to be a dog or something in that grave.

Lorenzo: It could be anything.

Carly: Michael's alive. I can feel it. There's no way he's in that grave.

Sonny: Give me that.

Reese: Is this all you found?

Officer: Yes, ma'am.

Sonny: It's not a grave! It's a hole in the ground!

Officer: Whoever dug that hole intended to bury someone or something.

Sonny: We don't know what the hole is for!

Jason: Faith's fingerprints were on the shovel, Sonny.

Sonny: So what? We know she plays games! My son's not here! He's alive!

Sonny: T-- tell them! Tell that this isn't a grave!

Jason: Sonny, Faith was out here for a reason.

Sonny: So what does that mean? We can't be guessing about what's going on here. Faith's a psychopath, right? We don't know what she's going to do next. My son is still alive.

Sonny: You think Faith was digging this grave for Michael, and when she heard the cops, she stopped and she threw his body in the swamp?

Sam: That's not what Jason --

Sonny: That's what he believes!

Jason: The cops and the feds are still looking, Sonny.

Sonny: For how long, Jason? Until they decide that he can't be found because his body's at the bottom of a swamp?

Reese: No, Sonny, we're not giving up.

Sonny: Michael's alive! But if you don't believe it and you don't believe it and the sheriffs don't believe it, they're not going to search for my son as hard as they should!

Reese: Sonny!

Sonny: Every second counts now! This is urgent!

Reese: We're aware of that.

Sonny: Yeah, well, then somebody's got to do something about it! You know Michael better than anybody. He's a fighter. He doesn't give up. He's not gone. He's not dead! Say it, Jason. He's alive! You're wrong. He's out there somewhere fighting for his life, s, he's got to keep on fighting until we bring him home!

Carly: No news is good news. You know, Sonny would've called. He would've called us if they'd found a grave.

Alexis: I'm absolutely sure that you're right.

Carly: It just proves that that shovel was used for something else. The kids are alive.

Lorenzo: Mother's instinct is a powerful thing.

Alexis: According to the F.B.I. update, they believe that Michael had several chances to escape, but he didn't. He stayed, they believe, to protect Morgan and Kristina.

Carly: Yeah, Michael never would leave his brother and sister.

Alexis: No, he wouldn't. And he didn't. He risked his life in order to protect them. I mean, how many children would do that? How many people would do that? He's an amazing boy. He's an amazing boy and he's very courageous.

Carly: Yeah.

Alexis: You should be very proud of him.

Carly: I am. And he deserves the credit. He is very loving. He's very thoughtful. And he's fiercely loyal to those that he loves and cares about. He's been an amazing person since the day he was born.

Alexis: I'm so glad that he stayed to protect my daughter.

Carly: You can thank him yourself, ok? You can thank him when the kids are found.

Alexis: It'll be all right. I just wish that she would wake up.

Carly: Well, she'd better or I'm going in there and shake her awake.

[Phone rings]

Ric: Hello? Great. Great. All right, keep me informed. That was the F.B.I.

Alan: What is it?

Ric: A rental car with the tires matching the prints found at the church was just turned in to the airport.

Sonny: Carly, it was nothing. It was just a hole in the ground.

Carly: Oh, thank God. Sonny, it's exactly what I told you. Faith was going to bury the money. She didn't have a chance.

Ric: The tire tracks were traced to a run-away vehicle that was turned in at the airport.

Jason: Well do they have any idea who turned it in?

Reese: (on the phone) That plane cannot take off. Ok. (hangs up) Two small children are scheduled to fly under the supervision of an airline escort. To an adoptive family in Arizona.

Alexis: Any descrition of the kids?

Reese: Not yet.

Sonny: Let's go.

Sam: Jason, do you want to go?

Jason: No.

Sam: This could be good news.

Jason: Reese said two children, not three.

Sonny: My children are in here.

Ric: Where are they?

Alexis: Krisitina! Oh baby! Hi baby! Oh gosh, you're ok!

Sonny: Hey champ. Everything's going to be all right, ok?

Carly: We're going to find your brother and then we're going to take you guys home.

Sonny: Hi Krisitna. Do you know where your brother is? Do you know where Michael is?

Lorenzo: Where's Michael?

Faith: Dead. I shot him and dumped his body in the swamp.
