"How Would you Feel if Manny Were in the
Pediatrics Ward watching your Babies?"

Sam: Help.

Alexis: No, he wasn't.

Alexis: Jesse, all he did was try to pick a pitcher up off the floor.

Sam: He's stalking me.

Jesse: Did he threaten you?

Sam: He didn't have a chance to. You came in as soon as I called for help.

Alexis: He's supposed to be working at the hospital under the orders of the judge. He's helping deliver meals or bringing water to the patients. He's following the terms of his parole.

Sam: Why can't you see that it's just an act?

Maxie: Well, you said Manny came after you. What did he do?

Alexis: He didn't do anything, Sam.

Jesse: What are you doing here?

Manny: I heard Sam call for help, so I came in to see what she needed.

Sam: What are you doing right outside my door?

Manny: I've been keeping close watch on this room because ms. Davis saved my life and I just wanted to repay her.

Jesse: It's not your job to be Alexis' personal watchdog.

Manny: We're in a crisis. The doctors and nurses were busy with other patients. I was just trying to help Ms. Davis after all she's done for me, man.

Jesse: Stick to the terms of your community service or you'll be in violation of your parole.

Manny: But if no one else is here when ms. Davis --

Alexis: Manny? Just do what the detective tells you to do.

Manny: Sorry. Sam, I didn't mean you any harm.

Alexis: Thank you, Manny.

Manny: You're welcome.

Maxie: How about some water?

Sam: Thank you.

Maxie: How are you both feeling?

Alexis: Maxie, can you at least check in and tell me how Ric is doing -- he was brought in when they brought me in -- and my girls? I -- I need to know how they are. They're in the -- the isolation pediatrics ward.

Maxie: Yeah, I'll see what I can find out for you.

Sam: And my brother, Danny -- can you check on him, please?

Maxie: Um -- he's actually in the room down the hall.

Sam: How sick is he?

Maxie: He's not too bad. The doctors say he's not delirious or anything, he just has a fever.

Sam: I want to talk to his doctor.

Maxie: Ok. I'll get him for you.

Sam: Thank you.

Alexis: Sam, I know you hate Manny, and you have good reason. But the staff is stretched to the limit and we need to accept help from anyone that we can get it from.

Sam: How would you feel if Manny were in the pediatrics ward watching your babies?

Tony: All right, she's pretty much unchanged across the board, except her fever's beginning to spike.

Alexis: How's Ric?

Tony: He's getting treatment.

Alexis: Tony, that doesn't answer my question.

Tony: Ric has stabilized for now, and he's just as worried about you.

Tony: Their fevers are climbing, so I want you to increase the antibiotic in their I.V. by two grams, all right?

Jason's voice: She's -- she's not in there.

Sam's voice: Then where is she, Jason?

Jason: She's at the funeral home.

Sam: No. That is the cruelest -- that is the cruelest thing a person can say to a mother. Do you know that?

Jason: I'm sorry, but it's true.

Sam: No. No, you're lying! You're lying to me! No! Liar! You're a liar!

Alexis' voice: Sam came here to visit Kristina. I don't remember what day it was because the days are all running together, but she was here --

Sonny: Right.

Alexis: And she offered to help kristina in any way that she could.

Sonny: Sam was -- she wants to help, Alexis. If it were her own life, she'd take the risk at 10%, but she's not going to do it for a child.

Alexis: Kristina needs those stem cells to live and she needs them right now. Did you explain that to Sam?

Sonny: Yes, I did explain --

Alexis: In those exact words?

Sonny: I don't know exactly --

Alexis: Think, then, because your daughter's life depends on it!

Alan: Emily, please let it go. There are so many people in this hospital who are suffering and need our help.

Emily: Ok.

Alan: Let's go, monica.

Ric: They're just going to let my brother die?

Alexis' voice: If she doesn't do it, she's going to die! Sonny, please.

Sonny's voice: Sam made the best decision she could for her child's life. I can't -- can't fight her on that. I can't. We will find another way to save Kristina. I promise you.

Alexis: Don't lie to yourself. If she doesn't get those stem cells, she's going to die.

[Alexis gasps]

Alexis: Kristi-- Kristina. Someone's got to help her. Somebody's got to help her. Sam? Sam? Sam? Sam, can you hear me? Sam, wake up. Wake up, wake up. You got to help me. You got to give Kristina your baby's stem cells. You have to help me. You're the only one that can save her. You've got to -- you've got to give me your baby's stem cells, please.

Tony: So, basically, we're just here to decide who lives and dies?

Ric: And basically you've already decided that my brother's not worth saving? Look, I -- I know that you -- how you all feel about my brother, sonny. I felt the very Same way when I first came to town. I hated him, and with good reason. But all I'm asking is for you to look past what you already know about the man and try to see him as a human being.

Alan: A human being who spends his life breaking the law.

Ric: Alan, I understand the way you feel about sonny because of your son A.J. But he is a man who loves his children and who values his family, and he has just as much right to live as you or I.

Robert: Well, that's what this council is here to decide.

Ric: Look, all I'm asking is for you to be fair. You are not my brother's judge and jury, ok? You cannot presume a person's worth. Look, I don't envy you, all of you having to make this decision as to who gets the serum, knowing that who doesn't get it may very well die, but you have to base your decision solely on a patient's need.

Tony: So what if the needs are the Same? We have all the charts right here in front of us. Yoyour wife, Alexis, your brother, Sonny -- they are in virtually identical medical conditions here, so who gets the meds? You tell me, ok? You choose.

Ric: It's impossible for me to choose between my wife and my brother.

Robert: That's what this council is here to do -- so nobody gets preferential treatment.

Ric: And you're telling me the choice of patients who get the serum can be done impartially?

Robin: We'll do our best.

Ric: I'll hold you to that.

Tony: We all have family and friends that are ill.

Monica: Ric, the best way to take care of Alexis and Sonny is to take care of yourself.

Ric: All right, good luck to you all.

Monica: I agree with Emily. We can't rule by committee. There's too many variables with each of us trying to decide who deserves to get the serum and who doesn't.

Alan: What's the alternative?

Monica: Well, one person makes that decision. We pick the most impartial person here.

Robin: I nominate Patrick.

Sam: Alexis, no, my baby is gone. Please --

Alexis: You've got to help her. You're the only one that can help her, and if you don't, she'll die.

Sam: Alexis --

Alexis: Please, please. You won't be able to live with yourself, Sam. You won't, because you'll know that you could've done something and you didn't do it, and then she'll die!

Sam: No, no, no, you don't know what you're --

Alexis: She'll die.

Sam: You don't know what you're saying.

Alexis: I know that I'm asking you to help me. I know that I'm asking you to help me. I'm begging you! Please, I'll do anything that you ask, anything at all!

Sam: Please, no! Stop this!

Alexis: Please, Sam, please! Don't say no! She'll die if you say no!

Sam: I don't have a baby. I don't have a baby.

Alexis: You might as well take a bullet to her!

Danny: Leave my sister alone.

Alexis: You selfish woman! Stop it!

Sam: Danny -- Danny, no!
