"I Took Her to a Facility Where she Would get Excellent and Objective Care"

Mike: So, how are you dealing with the news that Sam is suddenly your stepdaughter?

Ric: Hmm. It's going to take some getting used to.

Mike: Yeah.

Carly: How lucky am I to find you here.

Ric: Since when?

Carly: Since you owe me. Remember that time you kidnapped me and chained me to a panic room wall pregnant? Well, it's payback time. Frankly, I think you're getting off easy.

Ric: What do you want, Carly?

Carly: I want you to tell me where Alexis took Sam.

Alexis is at her new office, on the phone with a doctor at the place Sam has been taken to..

Alexis: If it's all right, I'd like an update on my daughter every hour.

WoMan: That's not a problem, Ms. Davis.

Alexis: Thank you. I'm expecting repercussions from Jason Morgan. You do have a picture of him?

WoMan: Yes. We've distributed it to the staff here. You don't need to worry. He won't be allowed access to the patient.

Alexis: Thank you. (hangs up phone).

Jason storms in.

Jason: Where'd you take her?

Ric: I'll take mine to go, Mike.

Mike: You got it.

Ric: Thank you.

Carly: I come back from my trip, I go straight to the hospital to see Jason, and I find out Sam's been spirited away in the dark of the night.

Ric: Oh, spirited away? That sounds awful dramatic, Carly. Why don't you just say she was simply moved?

Carly: She just had brain surgery. She's not out of the woods, and no one will tell her fiance where she is, Ric. Come on.

Ric: Well, did it ever occur to you that she's in the hospital because of Jason? And then he ignores a court order and he subjects her to a dangerous surgery.

Carly: She survived!

Ric: And if she wakes up, we're not going to know what her condition is until then.

Carly: You know what? I find it really hard to believe that you care.

Ric: Wait. Sam is my wife's daughter. She is sister to both of my children. While we're being honest here, Carly, I haven't been half as combative to her as you have. So why don't we cut to the chase? This is really about you -- you scoring points with Jason, right?

Carly: I don't need to score points with Jason. I'm trying to support my best friend here, Ric.

Ric: Yes, and Alexis is trying to protect her daughter. I would expect nothing less from you.

Carly: Oh, you want to go there? Try this one on. Let's say it's Alexis lying there unconscious, and Sam, her daughter of five minutes, comes in and takes her away god knows where. What would you do, Ric?

Alexis: In about 15 seconds, the police will arrive. I suggest you consider that before you say or do anything further.

Det. Rodriguez: Ms. Davis.

Alexis: Thank you. That was faster than I even promised. I was just about to give mr. Morgan a choice. You can either sit calmly and we can discuss this, or these gentlemen will escort you to lockup.

Jason sits.

Alexis: (to the men) Thank you. That'll be all.

Jason: Why?

Mike: There you go.

Ric: Thanks.

Mike: Sure.

Carly: Kind of leaves you breathless, doesn't it? The thought of someone you barely know and you don't trust, taking Alexis somewhere. Can't hold her hand, can't tell her that you love her. You would do whatever it took to find her.

Ric: Look, it's very convenient for you to ignore the fact that Jason forced Alexis' hand. That surgery could have killed Sam.

Carly: Alexis is incapable of seeing anyone else's position but her own. What I'm asking you, Ric, is what you would do in Jason's place. Sam isn't a helpless little baby like Molly. She's not even a little girl like Kristina. She's a grown woman who has chosen to be with the man she loves, and that man happens to be Jason. And Sam does not want Alexis, her mother of five minutes, taking her away from him. So I'm not asking you for Jason's sake. I'm asking you for Sam's. Where the hell did Alexis take her?

[Phone rings]

Carly: Hello?

Jax: I have a problem, Carly. It's big. I need to see you right away.

Alexis: Sam was shot in your arms. I think we can both agree that that bullet was meant for you.

Jason: Yes.

Alexis: Then you subjected her to illegal and life-threatening surgery.

Jason: Oh, come on, Alexis. We have been over this a million times. Patrick Drake said it was the only way to save her!

Alexis: And there were doctors who didn't agree with you, Jason. Yet you did what you wanted, anyway. So now what we have is a staff placating you instead of taking care of Sam.

Jason: Oh, and so you take her someplace where the people are paid to listen to you?

Alexis: I took her to a facility where she would get excellent and objective care. And I would think that you would want that for her.

Jason: Do you honestly think Sam would want any of this?

Alexis: When Sam wakes up, she will tell us exactly what she wants. But if she doesn't wake up, Jason, or if she has any lasting damage from that operation that you had performed illegally, I will use the law to come after you every way that I kwow how.

Alexis: I want you to try to see this from my perspective. I know all too well the way your world works. It got Sam shot. And it will continue to put her in danger, because you trade in violence. It makes you a target, as well as everyone else around you.

Jason: Sam knows the risks, and she chose to be with me.

Alexis: Sam is incapable of making a choice right now, which means that I'm legally responsible to make it for her.

Jason: You gave up your rights when you gave Sam away.

Alexis: I don't expect you to understand this, Jason, and I don't need you to understand it. I'm a mother. It's very difficult. I don't know that you know how difficult it is to give away something that you love because it's better for them.

Jason: I do know.

Alexis: Ok. Well, we're going in circles. I have no doubt that you have been --

[Jason sighs]

Alexis: Scanning the tri-state area looking for Sam.

Jason: Just make it easy and just tell me. Tell me where she is!

Alexis: You have a reputation for telling the truth. I want you to look me in the eye and I want you to tell me that Sam is safe with you. That you will never put her in physical danger again.

Alexis: Oh, hi, Dr. Reilly. Is there any improvement?

Dr. Reilly: There's no change, but we're monitoring your daughter around the clock.

Alexis: Thank you. Would it be l right if I go see her?

Dr. Reilly: Of course. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Ric: Alexis, we need to talk.

Alexis: What are you doing here? I told you, Jason's going to follow you.

Ric: Look, I don't think you're being fair to Sam.

Monica: Oh, hi.

Monica: Well, I found Sam.

Jason: How -- how is she?

Monica: Well, she's still unconscious, but her vitals are strong.

Jason: That's -- that's great. I want to go get her. Where -- where did Alexis take her?

Monica: Jason, I am sorry. I'm sorry, I just -- I can't tell you.
