"I Want you to Come and Work with Me as my Assistant D.A."

Reporter: Ms. Davis -- Ms. Davis, how does it feel to win?

Carly: Jase, I need to talk to you about Sonny. It's important.

Jason: Carly -- this is not -- Carly --

Carly: It's important.

Alexis: Stated that he is not accountable for his actions prior his surgery.

John: This verdict is a travesty of justice. Ms. Davis has just unleashed a known killer in our community under the so-called rule of law.

Alexis: The jury made their decision.

John: Well, the jury was misguided by you and the doctors.

Alexis: The law is very clear.

John: The law is not intended, Ms. Davis, to send known killers into our society.

Manny: Sam? I'm sorry for the pain that I've caused you. And I just hope that someday, you'll accept my apology.

Sam: You're lying, and you've been lying all along!

Jason: Stay away from her.

Alexis do something before they kill each other.

Jason: Stay away.

Sonny: Hey, hey, not here.

John: You picked the wrong place to lose that legendary cool, Mr. Morgan. Perhaps all the folks at home just witnessed that attack. Now they're going to watch you get arrested.

Carly: Come on, you know Jason was just trying to protect Sam.

John: Hmm. From an innocent conversation?

Jason: Are you ok?

Sam: Yeah. Manny tried to apologize, but, come on, you know it's an act.

John: Carly, I saw what Jason did. The entire courthouse saw it.

Carly: He pushed Manny up against the wall. He didn't hurt him.

John: Carly, the law is the law. That was a clear case of asslt.

Manny: Mr. Durant?

Carly: Oh --

Manny: Mr. Durant?

John: Yeah?

Manny: I don't want to press charges.

John: What?

Manny: You know, I've been given a new life. And I just hope over time that Sam and Jason will realize that I mean them no harm.

John: That's very sweet. That's -- that's sweet. But you should know that mr. Morgan isn't of a benevolent nature. The next time, there's a very good chance -- I'd say the chances are excellent -- that there won't be any witnesses, and you're not going to survive. Pressing charges is the only way to save what's left of your pathetic, miserable, so-called life.

Manny: Well, you know, I've made my decision, so can you please let him go?

Sam: Can you believe this garbage?

John: Get Mr. Ruiz out of here, take him back to PCPD, get him fitted with his ankle monitor.

Sam: Well, you must be so proud.

Alexis: Sam, you know what? I can't listen to this anymore. The jury's made its decision. It's over. Let it be over.

Sam: No, it is not over! It is just the beginning. Manny is free now, and god help you when he chases you down a hallway with a knife or goes after one of your children.

Alexis: I hope you're not suggesting that I would do anything to willingly put my children at risk.

Sam: Suggest? Alexis, that's exactly what you just did.

Alexis: The jury made their decision, Sam. They based it on the evidence that they had. You did not make it easy for them to believe you because you were out of control --

Sam: Are you kidding? Manny attacked me! You want to call me a liar, fine, but it happened. I have proof. I have woundon my body. In part of your mind, I'm thinking maybe, just maybe, you've got to believe me. I think that's what the jury calls reasonable doubt. But you helped set Manny free, anyway. How any mother could do that, could count their child's safety less important than a victory in court is totally beyond me. Shouldn't your daughters come first?

Alexis: You are so angry at me. I'm not sure why. Is it because of Manny, or are you angry at me because kristina lived?

Sam: What? No.

Alexis: I'm sorry your baby died, Sam. I am sorry, and I think maybe you've been blaming me for that all this time, but I'm not responsible --

Jason: Just back off.

Ric: Jason? Excuse me?

Jason: Ok?

Ric: Back away from my wife, please?

Jason: Let's go.

Ric: You all right?

Alexis: No, I'm not.

Ric: Let's not let Sam's tirade spoil the day, ok? You did what you were supposed to do, you're a good lawyer, you defended the law. That's it.

Alexis: We make a very good team.

Ric: You think?

Alexis: I do. I think we should make it a more permanent commitment.

Ric: More permanent than marriage?

Alexis: Business.

Ric: Oh.

Alexis: In business. You and I are both overloaded with the things that we have in our private practice and --

Ric: You want to work together?

Alexis: Well, I was thinking maybe "Davis and lansing."

Ric: Oh, really? Or, I don't know, funny idea -- "lansing, Davis"?

Alexis: Oh. Well --

Ric: Mm-hmm.

Alexis: It's better to do it alphabetically. That's fair.

Ric: Oh, sure.

Alexis: It also makes more sense to have the yalie in front of the harvard.

Ric: You had to get that in, didn't you? Ok, you're making it very difficult to say yes.

Alexis: I usually do.

Ric: Uh-huh.

Manny: Hi. Excuse me, sir? I would like to rent a room, please.

Mike: There's a rooming house down on maple.

Manny: Uh -- excuse me, sir? I have to stay within a five-mile radius of the pcpd, or I violate the terms of my sentence.

Mike: We're full.

Manny: Yeah, but I saw a sign that said --

mike: Yeah. The rooms are all taken. Now, leave.

Ric: Uh -- mike? You might want to rethink that.

Manny: I don't mean to intrude, but I just wanted to thank you again for defending me.

Alexis: I was just doing my job.

Manny: Oh, you did a lot more than that, Ms. Davis. You gave me a chance at a new life, and I won't forget it.

Mike: I don't want that lowlife under this roof.

Ric: Might be wise for us to know what he's up to. If he's staying here at Kelly's, we can keep an eye on him.

Mike: So you're admitting he's still a threat?

Ric: I'm saying it's a possibility.

Mike: Then why did you help your wife defend this scum?

Ric: Because, Mike, we're lawyers. That's what we do, ok? Alexis was drafted into Manny's case. We trusted the system, now he's free. It'd be wise to let him stay here at Kelly's. Keeps us all safe.

Mike: Maybe you're right. All right -- um -- I'll rent you a room.

Manny: Thank you. Can I take it right now?

Mike: Follow me.

Alexis: I am not comfortable with that.

Ric: He's staying in Port Charles whether we like it or not. It's better if we can have him someplace where we can keep an eye on him.

Alexis: I agree -- in theory. Kristina loves this place, Viola brings her here twice -- twice a week, and I don't want her to run into him.

Ric: Yeah. Even though he's a changed man, right?

Alexis: Medical evidence supports that, but do we really want to bet Kristina's safety on a doctor's best guess, and please don't call me a hypocrite.

Ric: No, you did what you were supposed to do, what the court ordered you to do. You upheld the law.

Alexis: Which will be cold comfort if Sam is right and I freed a maniac.

John: Kudos from the evening paper. "Ruiz's chief counsel, defense attorney Alexis Davis, brilliantly argued her client's case and obtained a suspended sentence from what could've been a death-penalty case." You do realize you're going to have rich psychopaths lining up at your door for the privilege of you representing them? It's going to be quite a niche market.

Alexis: I'm not interested.

John: Oh. Well, I'm glad to hear that, because I got another offer for you. I want you to come and work with me as my assistant D.A.
