"I Want to Know Who you Were Before Jason"

[Phone rings]

Jason: Yeah?

Sam: Jason? Hey, it's me. Please just talk to me.

Jason: Please don't call back.

Sam: We -- we have to talk. I need to see you and it -- it'll only be a couple of minutes. If you can just give me, like, five minutes --

Alexis: Jason?

Sam: Hung up on me.

Alexis: Sam, what are you going to do?

Sam: I don't know. He told me not to call him again.

Alexis: Oh, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how much this hurts you.

Sam: No, you can't. If I could just talk to him, you know? I just -- I need a couple of minutes to talk to him. I know that he would be able to hear me. I don't even know who I am without Jason.

Alexis: Then that's what we're going to figure out. And I promise to keep it rant-free.

Sam: You keeping anything about Jason rant-free? I'd like to see that.

Alexis: It's because I understand why you can love him. Jason is an easy man to love. It's just living in his world is another story. You said something to me, that you didn't know who you were without Jason. I want to know who you were before Jason. What did you want, Sam? Did you have any dreams at all?

Sam: Yeah. I wanted to make a big score and retire. Because I always thought that if I had enough money, that I would feel safe. But it's not about the money and I -- I feel safe with Jason. Jason makes me happy.

Alexis: You, you, you. I want to know about you. I want to know about you, what you want. You said you wanted your G.E.D., that you wanted to go to college, that you even wanted to go to law school.

Sam: Jason said I was just doing that because of you.

Alexis: Well, so what?

Sam: No, I mean, I think -- I think I would've liked it. I think I would've been really good at it. You know, I spent so much of my time on the wrong side of the law. It would've been -- it would've been nice to be on the right side of the law.

Alexis: You are focused and you are determined and you can do whatever you want.

Det. Rodriguez: I'm sorry to bother you, Ms. Davis. Ballistics got back to us on the Durant murder.

Alexis: It's ok. It's ok, you can talk.

Det. Rodriguez: The strike marks matched the bullet that shot Ms. McCall. As the D.A., I thought you'd want to know.

Alexis: Thank you.

Sam: Durant is dead and you're the new D.A.?

Alexis: Thank you. A lot happened while you were unconscious. John Durant was killed. He was caught in between Carly and two snipers. And from what we just heard, it turns out that those were the same snipers who shot at Jason when you got in the way.

Sam: So you get the big job?

Alexis: Reluctantly, Mayor Floyd offered me the job and I took it. But I've spent most of my time here and this is where my focus has been, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he took the job away as quickly as he offered it.

Sam: Well, that would be good because, I don't know, I don't really like the idea of you being the D.A. of Port Charles.

Alexis: I get that. I hope you understand, too, that it's a brass ring for anyone involved in the law.

Sam: Right, and I hope you understand that you are going to make it your mission to prosecute the man I love, and I just -- I have a feeling that might put a damper on the whole mother-daughter bonding.

[Knock on door]

Ric: Excuse me?

Alexis: Hi.

Ric: Bad time?

Sam: Not at all. I should be resting, anyway.

Alexis: I've been waiting for you.

Oy! Oh, my goodness. Hello there. Hello. Thank you for bringing them so quickly. Will you do me a favor and go have lunch with Molly, and I need to talk to Kristina alone for a little bit?

Viola: Oh, absolutely. Mm-hmm.

Alexis: And then I'll call you when we're finished.

Viola: Ok.

Alexis: Thanks. Do you mind having a talk with mom? Ok?

Kristina: Don't mind at all.

Alexis: Ok. I'm going to have to tell you some things that I really don't think you're going to be able to understand all of it, and I just want you to know it's ok, you don't have to. You just listen because mom always wants to tell you the truth. Ok? Do you remember your friend lori?

Kristina: Yeah.

Alexis: Ok? You know she's adopted and you know what that means? Ok. Now, the same thing happened to Mommy. When Mommy was 16 years old, Mommy had a baby, and Mommy wasn't old enough to take care of the baby, so she gave it to a family that could. Well, it turns out now that that baby is not a baby anymore. The baby is a big, grown, beautiful woman who's your sister. Do you know who that is? It's Sam.

Kristina: So Sam's my big sister?

Alexis: Is that ok with you?

Kristina: Are you going to give me and Molly away like you di--

Alexis: Never. Never, never. Mommy waited till a long time so I could be a good mother and I would know how to take care of you, so you came right at the perfect time. And we will always be together, all of us, ok -- you, Molly, me, and Sam.

Sam: Not long ago, you thought I was a deluded stalker. You were going to get a restraining order put on me. Remember?

Ric: I didn't know the circumstances.

Sam: Wow. You must've been thrilled when you found out I was the dead daughter.

Ric: No, I was happy for my wife. See, Sam, I was there when Alexis opened up the file and read that her little girl had been killed. And I held her in my arms and she cried, and even though she didn't believe me, I tried to convince her that it wasn't her fault. Now, as far as things being what they are, the only thing I was thrilled about was that Alexis had received a miracle, and those are kind of rare tse days. Now it's not just up to Alexis or fate, it's up to you. You have a say in this. So I'm asking you, as your stepfather, don't blow it. Make your own relationship with your mother, ok, apart from Jason or anyone else.

Alexis: I brought a couple of people I thought might make you feel better.

Kristina: Sam, you're my big sister.

Sam: Well, your mom isn't very subtle, now, is she? Should I say "our mom"?

Alexis: Ah.

[Music plays]

Lorenzo: I used to be Jason Morgan -- cold, relentless. That ino way to live. You think the business gives you power, but it takes away everything else. You have no world outside the world you run. No wife, no kids, just a bunch of meaningless relationships. No real love.

Alexis: Oh.

Lorenzo: You're always a single heartbeat away from being killed. And you look around --

Singer: Takes its toll

Lorenzo: And all you see is emptiness. That's not a life I want. It's certainly not one I would wish for my son.

Singer: Staring at the sun

Lorenzo: The life I used to live, the one that Morgan lives now, is not worth the sacrifices.
