Alexis: So what do we got? Who's still missing that we know of?

Det. Harper: Ric Lansing, Carly Jacks, and Claudia Zacchara haven't been seen since the explosion, and we still have three civilians on the inside -- Sonny Corinthos --

[Coughing]

Det. Harper: Jasper and Jerry Jacks, and --

Alexis: Two of them have just been accounted for; let me know what you hear.

[Jax coughs]

Alexis: You all right?

Jax: Any sign of Carly?

Alexis: Not yet, I'm sorry.

Jax: We have to go back in there.

Alexis: No! The firefighters are taking care of it, there's nothing you can do. The two of you are just getting in the way.

Jerry: No, no, we made it a point to avoid the intrepid rescue personnel.

Alexis: Could you stop with the witty remarks for two seconds and try to save your brother from killing himself?

Jax: I'm not going to kill myself, okay? I'm going to look for my wife.

Alexis: No, you're not. The firefighters are doing their job, there's nothing you can do.

Jax: But Carly could be -- Carly could be running around in there looking for Michael. She doesn't know that he's already out here, or she's too badly hurt to move herself. Either way, she needs me, okay?

Alexis: Please don't make me do this.

Jax: What are you talking about?

Alexis: Harper? I need two officers over here.

Jax: You can't stop me from looking for my wife!

Alexis: Guard these two. I don't want them off the premises; I don't want them in that building.

Det. Harper: Don't let these two in the building. If they resist, arrest them.

Jax: This has the potential to go really badly for you, Alexis, and if something happens to Carly, I'm not sure I can forgive you.

Alexis: You can blame me all you want; at least you'll be alive.

Jax: This is absurd; I'm going back in there.

Jerry: No, no, no, we can't do anything, we can't do it. We don't have the equipment, the fire's getting out of control. It would be stupid to -- to die looking for Carly while she's coming out the other entrance.


[Jax coughs]

Sonny: Excuse me? Can I -- I just got to talk to you for a second.

Alexis: I'm glad you're here, I'm glad you're all right. What were you doing in there?

Sonny: Any word on Carly?

Alexis: Yeah, she's all right. They're going in there with a stretcher and they're going to take her out.

Sonny: How long ago did they leave? I -- I want to go with them.

Alexis: I'm going to say the same thing to you that I just said to Jax and Jerry -- you're not going in there, because if you do, you're going to endanger a firefighter's life, who's going to risk his life trying to take your ass out of there.

Sonny: Why are you lecturing me now?

Alexis: It's the only thing I can think to do to distract you at such late notice.

[Siren]

Sonny: I just -- I want to go back in. Can you let me do that?

Alexis: First, give me a preliminary statement. I understand that you were having sort of a mob conference in there? Yeah, yeah -- you and Claudia and Johnny Zacchara were all in there together. What were you talking about?


Jax: This is taking too long.

Jerry: It only feels that way. The paramedics know what they're doing. They're going to bring Carly as fast, as safely as possible.

Jax: You swear to me that you had nothing to do with this.

Jerry: Oh, come on --

Jax: Swear to me, Jerry!

Jerry: I might've done a lot of bad things, but not this time, okay?

Jax: So what do you think, there was another attempt on Sonny's life?

Jerry: I don't know. Whoever wanted to kill Sonny proved that, you know, they didn't do a very good job at it.

Jax: Why?

Jerry: Well, judging from the blast pattern, there were two or three linked charges. If they had been positioned properly, it would've taken the whole building down. But as it goes, it only blew out a few windows and set the roof on fire.

Jax: So you're saying the bomber was incompetent?

Jerry: Thank God, otherwise Carly might not have survived.


Ric: I was making my way to the north entrance, and that's when I saw Carly.

[Siren]

Ric: Her head and -- and arm were resting on a cross brace, and thank God, otherwise I don't think I would've seen her. I pulled her out of the water, and that's when the firefighters showed up.

Det. Harper: What were you doing in the cannery prior to the explosion?

Ric: I own the building, okay? I was -- I was just walking through it with a friend.

Det. Harper: That would be Ms. Erosa?

Ric: That's correct.

Det. Harper: Were you aware there was anyone else in the building besides yourself?

Ric: No.

Det. Harper: Do you have any idea what caused the explosion?

Ric: No, none whatsoever.

Det. Harper: All right, at the moment you entered the building, did you --

Ric: All right, look, Detective, really, I -- Alexis, I don't -- I honestly don't know any more.

Alexis: Thank you. You've been very thorough. Good job. I think that if Mr. Lansing has anything else to add, he'll come down to the PCPD and answer questions, yes?

Ric: Yeah, absolutely.

Det. Harper: Your call.

Alexis: Thank you. He's a little overzealous --

Ric: Yeah.

Alexis: Well-meaning, though.

Ric: Thanks.

Sonny: Ric? I'm just curious. What -- what were you really doing in the cannery?

Ric: I was there for reasons that have nothing to do with you, Sonny -- and, no, I didn't set the bombs, okay? I was trying to -- do something good with that place, all right, not blow it up.

Sonny: Something just doesn't -- it doesn't add up. I don't know why.

Ric: Of course, because you want an excuse to keep on hating me.

Sonny: I don't need an excuse, because I know what you did, and I'm not going to forget that. But the truth is you saved Carly's life, and I owe you for that.

Marianna: What just happened?

Ric: Oh, you know, what usually happens with me and my brother. Even his thanks sounds hostile.

[Marianna chuckles]

Ric: It's okay, though. I don't care because I got other priorities.


Jerry: Should I be jealous?

Alexis: No, you should not.

Jerry: Oh? So there are no residual feelings about your unsavory ex?

Alexis: No, that -- that is not the point. You could be jealous like we had an ongoing relationship, which we don’t.

Jerry: Oh, I happen to be very attached to you.

Alexis: This could be the second-most inappropriate time that you've chosen to flirt with me.

Jerry: Then pick a better time and a better place, and we'll call it a date.


Jerry: There you go again. I mean, how can you be fascinated by someone who treats you like dirt?

Alexis: "Treated" -- past tense. He's started over with the help of his friend Marianna, I think.

Jerry: Yeah, how nice for them.

Alexis: Maybe, maybe not. I saw her talking to Trevor Lansing. I think there's a connection there -- that would be very bad for Ric.
