Alexis: Ah -- Mr. Brosnan.

Jerry: Ms. Davis. I suppose it was too much to hope that you came here to see me?


Alexis: Well, I'm sorry. I really do hate to disappoint you, but I'm in the middle of a deposition and Nikolas is central to the case.


Jerry: Oh. Well, he'll be down any moment. I was going to drop you a line as to why you hadn't heard from me. I mean, it's been hectic these past few days.


Alexis: Are you going back to Europe?

Jerry: Yes, I must move on -- one of the unexpected moments in my unpredictable life.

Alexis: Oh. So I take it your business with Nikolas is finished?

Jerry: Well, you know, let's just say that our relationship has taken on a new phase and I must relocate.

Alexis: Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Jerry: I was not going to leave without telling you that I was -- I was very pleased to -- to reacquaint with you.

Alexis: "Reacquaint"? That would require us to have met before, and I'm certain that we didn't.


Jerry: Well, actually, we have -- briefly, some years ago. But you wouldn't remember, actually, because I had a different name and a different face. You knew me then as Jerry Jacks.



Alexis: Jax's brother -- used the name James Craig -- held 15 people hostage, two of which where my daughter and my nephew.


Jerry: Oh, yes, sweet Sam -- not the most accurate nickname, but so easy to remember. You see, so much was happening that the events overtook me, so I shot Robin Scorpio and sent Alan Quartermaine staggering to his death. But we're all the same person -- I mean, James Brosnan, formerly known as James Craig, the terrorist, formally known as JerryJacks.

Alexis: Why would Nikolas let you live here -- why would he let you live at all?

Jerry: Well, actually, I didn't give him a choice. You see, I injected Nikolas with a lethal toxin which needed a counteragent every 24 hours for him to stay alive. A remarkably effective form of leverage -- wouldn't you say so, Nikolas?

Nikolas: So now do you understand why I didn't encourage your friendship with the then Nr. Brosnan?

Alexis: Why didn't you say something to me?

Jerry: Well, actually, in all fairness, Nikolas didn't know I was Jerry Jacks until last night. As for the poison, if he told you, I would've let him die.

Nikolas: What are you doing?

Emily: What are you doing?

Alexis: I'm calling the police.

Jerry: If you do, Emily goes straight to prison.


Jerry: Don't look so shocked. Every family has a black I just happen to be the Jacks' families.

Nikolas: So I see you've accepted my rather warm invitation to leave. It will be understood that you stay away from all of us, especially Emily.

Jerry: Oh, poor Nikolas, ever so hopeful. You know, I do admire that. And I'm going to miss this place. I mean, not particularly the gargoyles or Spencer's morning teething fits. But our special camaraderie, you know? Partir, c'est mourir un peu, Nikolas, huh?

Alexis: Hold it. Why did you help me that day? Why didn't you just leave me out in the woods?

Jerry: Well, I couldn't let you die. I mean, Nikolas would have been distracted by the grief. He wouldn't have been able to conclude the arrangements.



Carly: Jax isn't here. He went to go see Nikolas. And I don't know if anyone has told you, but his brother, Jerry Jacks, is --

Alexis: I know all about it. I know who Jerry is. I know that he's Mr. Craig. I know that he's been holed up at Wyndemere, poisoning my nephew, and now threatening Emily.

[Alexis sighs]

Alexis: I thought that he was Nikolas' business associate. I had no idea that he was Jax's brother. I was not one of the hostages. I didn't see his face, so there would be no reason on this earth why I wouldn't have trusted him. As far as I know, you and your mother are the only two people -- listen, listen -- that Jerry trusts. Ok? The only people who can turn the tables and make him pay for these crimes.
