Det. Harper: We started receiving multiple 911 calls around 8:50 P.M., and it looks like a single large explosion.

Alexis: Is it possible it was an accident, maybe a -- a gas main blew?

Det. Harper: No, we won't know for sure until we get an arson team in there, but it looks deliberate.

Alexis: No --

Det. Harper: One of these mob kingpins just decided to bomb the crap out of the other.

Alexis: See, I don't get that, though -- they're violent, but they're not stupid. So why would they blow up an empty building? What are you doing back here?

[Helicopter flies]

Jax: You know Michael's missing, right?

Alexis: Yes, I know.

Jax: Carly got a call to pick him up here.

Alexis: Oh, God.

Jax: No, Michael's fine, Michael's fine -- Johnny Zacchara got him out after it exploded. He's on his way to the hospital, but Carly's still in there.

Alexis: What -- hold it. What was Zacchara doing with Carly and Michael?

Jax: He wasn’t. Sonny was having some kind of mob boss meeting in the cannery.

Alexis: Did Sonny make it out?

Jax: Of course. Sonny never gets hurt or killed, only the people around him do.

Alexis: Oh -- hey, if you go in there and you die trying to save Carly and she survives, she's going to blame me, so you're condemning me to a life of hell.

Jax: Alexis --

Alexis: It's safer -- not to mention more efficient --

Jax: Alexis --

Alexis: If you let the professionals do their job.

Jax: I'm going to go in and get Carly -- the same way I'd go in to get you.


Jerry: Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear -- Mr. Alcazar's building appears to be in flames.

Alexis: Please tell me that you had nothing to do with this?

Jerry: Oh, that would be the waste of a good match.

Alexis: Did Jax call you?

Jerry: Why? Should he have?

Alexis: Because Carly's in there, he just went in after her.

Jerry: You got to be kidding. Why didn't you try to stop him?

Alexis: I did, he didn't listen.

Jerry: Bloody hell.

Alexis: My sentiments exactly.

Jerry: And it's a big building. I mean, do you know which way Jax went in?

Alexis: You're not going in there after him.

Jerry: Well, yeah -- Lady Jane would kill me if anything happened to Jax, you know that.

Alexis: I suppose you'll be all right -- only the good die young, and there's nothing good about you.

Jerry: Oh, I happen to be quite good at something.

Alexis: Are you --

Jerry: Yes, and if you're good, someday I'll demonstrate.

Alexis: You aren't choosing now to be smarmy, are you?

Jerry: Oh, does this mean I don't get a good-luck kiss?

Alexis: I hope the building falls on you.

Jerry: No, you don’t.


Mac: We got fire units inside looking for victims. There's a lot of debris to be cleared, but they're doing a good job.

Trevor: Commissioner, you should never have allowed Johnny Zacchara to go back into that building.

Mac: He wanted to look for his sister.

Trevor: So you permit any normal citizen to wander around in a danger zone without sending in your cops and your firefighters?

Alexis: Is there a problem, Mr. Lansing?

Trevor: Yes, there is a problem. My client was in an explosion, and he's probably in shock. I want you to send some cops and firefighters in there to get him out.

Mac: Our focus is on evacuating the people who can't get out on their own.

Alexis: I'll handle this, Mac.

Mac: Be my guest.

Trevor: Ms. Davis, if Johnny doesn't come out of that alive, I'm going to sue this whole damn town.

Alexis: A reasonable argument can be made that Zacchara assumed his own risk when he chose to re-enter the building. Do you have any idea what he and his sister were doing there?

Trevor: Absolutely not.

Alexis: Were you in there at the time of the explosion?

Trevor: I was alone.

Alexis: In an abandoned cannery?

Trevor: I came here to do business with my son.

Alexis: It's a coincidence, then, that Zacchara and his sister and Sonny Corinthos were all on the premises?

Trevor: Yeah, pure coincidence.

Alexis: Two of your clients and a major business rival were all in that building at the time of the explosion? You were there, too, although you say it was unrelated. I don't know. If -- if I were defending someone who came up with that kind of excuse, I would advise them to plead out.

Trevor: Don't grandstand with me, Ms. Davis. Johnny Zacchara's life is at stake, and your cops are not doing anything to find him!

Alexis: Claudia Zacchara is a client of yours, why aren't you more concerned?

Trevor: Because John is like a son to me!

Alexis: Right -- then I pity him more than I already did.

Trevor: Listen, your opinion doesn't mean anything to me, and if you continue to harass me, I'm going to bring you up on charges in front of the state judiciary committee in a New York second.

Alexis: Excuse me.

[Marianna coughs]

Alexis: Marianna, I'm Alexis Davis, do you remember me? We met -- I'm Ric's ex-wife?

Marianna: Yeah, I remember.

Alexis: You were in the building when it exploded?

Marianna: Yes.

Alexis: Were you alone?

Marianna: Ric was with me.

Alexis: Where is he?

Marianna: We got separated -- he's still inside.


Mac: Inside.

Alexis: Ric's in there, too.

Mac: So Trevor Lansing was telling the truth?

Alexis: No, he wasn't telling the truth. Marianna is a friend of his, she said she was with him during the explosion, they got separated.

Mac: I'll notify the captain.

[Siren]


(Alexis overhears this ...)

Trevor: So, Marianna, you show up?

Marianna: Not that you care, but your son is still inside.

Trevor: What did you do, desert him?

Marianna: Go to hell.

Trevor: Was he breathing before you left him?

Marianna: He's fine, he wanted me to go.

Trevor: Then why did he stay inside?

Marianna: Just leave me alone.

Trevor: No, no, no, no. You are going to tell me what happened to my son.
