Alexis: Sam, it's your mother. Will you do me a favor? Please call me. I'm very worried about you. I am not comfortable with you being out there alone. The killer's still out there. He came after you once, and I don't care if you think I'm a nag. Call me.


Alexis: I'm sure you have a very entertaining explanation as to why you're sitting at my desk in the dark.

Jerry: Yes, I do. The door --

Alexis: Don't tell me that I left the door open again.

Jerry: Was open. How's Kristina?

Alexis: Kristi-- stop bringing Kristina into this and using it to deflect.

Jerry: I was genuinely concerned about you and your daughters. I mean, I was shocked to hear that Ric left town again after what happened. I mean, what could possibly be more important --

Alexis: You cannot just walk in here like it's the corner by -- this is my office. I'm the district attorney. This is the highest legal authority in this --

Jerry: Yes, and I can only imagine how frustrated you must be feeling about not bringing this man to justice -- you see, the killer with the catchy moniker who nearly killed Sam and scared Kristina into a state of semicatatonia?

[Phone rings]

Alexis: Alexis Davis. Yes, hello, Mayor -- what can I do for you? No -- nothing new on the T.M.K. I -- I'm doing everything that I can -- yes, I do understand that -- that it's an election year and I also understand that you're down in the polls, which is why you're interested in this case. How about you let me do my job instead of trying to come up with catchy campaign slogans for you? Good, then.

Jerry: The man's an idiot.

Alexis: You're all idiots. I'm worried about Sam. I have a bad feeling.

Jerry: Well, I can check up on her if -- a little easier.

Alexis: Wait a second. What is that?

Jerry: Oh, that? Um -- I had a -- an accident.

Alexis: You've been shot.


Alexis: Who shot you and why -- and I'm not asking you as a friend.

Jerry: Oh -- that not only hurts, I think it'd make a wound far deeper than this flesh wound.

Alexis: Who?

Jerry: Well, any, you know, in a long list of people with an equally long list of grievances.

Alexis: You know what? I'm not buying for one minute that you don't know who did this to you.

Jerry: Well, you know, "stuff happens," as your current president would say. I mean, your nephew stabbed me in a fit of rage without even remembering it.

Alexis: My nephew didn't do it.

Jerry: Well, the last time I heard, he had a tumor the size of a golf ball without getting close to curing it, so why are you so sure?

Alexis: You come into my office; you sit here in the dark. You didn't come in for legal advice, you certainly didn't seek medical attention, so my guess is that whatever happened to you happened nearby, and you came in here to hide out.

Jerry: Wow, you're good. You should be on a cop show.

Alexis: Yeah, I'm Nancy Drew -- years of dealing with felonious minds.

Jerry: Then I won't bore you with my little tale of woe.

Alexis: Okay. So maybe you want to tell it to the police.

Jerry: I'm in a race of some sort.

Alexis: Really? What kind of race?

Jerry: I'm trying to get to the finish line before some other people, some very determined people who would go to great lengths to see that I don’t.

Alexis: The same people who are after the same thing that you are, who will do anything to get that? The Sonnys, the Jasons, the other five families who all want this same valuable thing? What is it? Here's what I think. I think you came into this office to check my messages because you have a vested interest in where Ric is. Very concerned that he left town, so you came in here to see if you could find him, if you could contact him, because what you want is the waterfront property just like everybody else. Isn't that right?

Jerry: Do you know where Ric is?

Alexis: Do you think that I would tell you if I did?

Jerry: Only if you want Kristina to grow up knowing her father.

Alexis: Don't you dare use my daughter to scare the hell out of me anymore!

Jerry: No, this is the harsh reality -- think, Alexis! Do you think others will be as generous when they negotiate with him?

Alexis: I will have Ric contact the authorities.

Jerry: Oh, you don't want me to be locked up; you don't want me out of the picture. Not now, trust me.

Alexis: Trust you?

Jerry: Yes, alliances are being made, forces are converging. There will be a battle that is fought and it will be soon, and I am the only one person in the world who is invested in this, who has a vested interest in keeping Ric alive and well, believe me.

Alexis: So you want me to believe that you're doing this for my benefit?


Alexis: Lucky, hi, it's Alexis. It may seem a little inappropriate that I'd be calling you, but I am seriously worried about Sam. I have called her several times and I haven't heard back. I'm really worried.


Jerry: It was a trap set by one of the five families or Corinthos. I was able to escape with a superficial bullet wound.

Man: You'll be wishing it was a mortal wound if they saw your face.

Jerry: Relax. Nobody knows that Jerry Jacks and the mysterious Mr. Moreau are the same person. But it proves one thing -- this whole thing's about to blow wide open. Now, we need to cement our alliance with the Zaccharas.

Man: We need to bring something to the table.

Jerry: I will get the deed to the waterfront property from Sonny's kid brother before anyone else does -- whatever it takes.
