16, 2007 Transcript Alexis: Any sign of Sam or Nikolas? Ric: We think we heard Nikolas shout out to Luke from the lobby. As far as Sam's concerned, no. Sorry. But at least we know what the gunmen want now -- this briefcase that Alcazar had stored in the Metro Court vault. We're going to storm the lobby as soon as the lock releases. Alexis: You can't storm the lobby, you could get everybody killed. You need to keep negotiating, Ric. Ric: Oh, do -- do you think we haven't tried that, Alexis? The leader is not interested. He pretty much cut off communications right away. Alexis: Well, you can't just give up. It's just like you -- you're just going to give up. You don't like half the people in there anyway, do you? You especially hate my nephew and my daughter. Ric: Oh. You know what? You shouldn't be here. Alexis: I'm fine. Ric: No, you're not fine. You know what? You're going. Come on, come on. Ric: Excuse me? Could I -- could I get a doctor here, please? Russell: What the hell are you doing here? Alexis: I discharged myself. Ric: She nearly collapsed. Russell: I'm not surprised. Ric: Please take a look at her. And do yourself a favor, Alexis -- listen to what the doctor says. [Alexis sighs] Russell: You are a fool. You should've stayed in the hospital. Alexis: My nephew and my daughter are in that hellhole. I'm not going to sit in a hospital room on the other side of town waiting to find out if they're alive or dead. Russell: Breathe. [Alexis coughs] Russell: Obviously, you're not to be trusted. Breathe. [Coughing] Russell: How long after I got called away before you checked yourself out of the hospital? Alexis: Two minutes. Russell: Breathe. Alexis: My daughter and my nephew and the father of one of my daughters is in there, and this is where I need to be. Russell: Quiet. What good are you doing them sitting here in the cold, inviting a secondary infection and making yourself even weaker? Alexis: Doctor, you tell me that your wife died of cancer. If she were alive, and you were being held hostage in that building, would she be here right now and would you blame her? Russell: Stay here, get your breath. Luke: Hey, way to go, Natasha. Alexis: What did you do? Luke: Nothing but ask that dimwit D.A. a couple of reasonable questions. Now I'm -- I'm, you know, looking at my options, and you happen to be one of them. We both got daughters that we need to get out of there. You can help me make that happen. Luke: I got to pick the lock here. Check your pockets, see if you got a ballpoint pen or a hairpin or something like -- Alexis: Oh, sure. Let me just take the hairpin out of my wig that I use to embed into my bald head. Luke: I'm sorry, but you're going to have to scold me later. Right now I need your help. Alexis: Why should I? Luke: Because the idiot that put a mortar through your family is about to get them killed -- along with my daughter, daughter-in-law, and a whole bunch of other people. Or does "storming the lobby at dawn" sound like a great solution to you? Listen, Natasha, those people took that lobby 12 hours ago. That wasn't their original plan. They planned to get in there and get out. But what they came for, they couldn't get, and they have waited -- with all of Port Charles' heavy artillery surrounding them. That means they're not going to leave till they get what they want. That also means that those hostages could very well be collateral damage. Alexis: So you're going to run in to the rescue? Luke: Are you going to trust their lives to Ric Lansing or me? Russell: I said "catch your breath," not "free a felon." Luke: Hey, mind your own business. If you had spent more time thinking than -- than barking at good-meaning medical personnel and cancer patients, you'd know that if you freed me, I could help you keep the death toll down! Epiphany: Do we look like prison guards to you, or police officers? We are medical professionals gearing up to save lives. Now, you might not like it, but the only contribution that anyone wants you to make around here is to sit there chained to that drain pipe and keep your mouth shut! If you don't, I can -- and I will -- sedate you. Ric: That won't be necessary, Epiphany. You just continue to focus on your work. I'll deal with Mr. Spencer here. Epiphany: Good luck. [Ric sighs] Ric: I had a feeling that you would ask Alexis to free you. You know, in case it wasn't obvious to you, she is debilitated by chemo and she really shouldn't be out here. Alexis: Which should show you how important this is to me and to him. Wouldn't you do the same thing if Molly were in there? Now, stop acting like such an ass and unchain him and let him go get his daughter!
