[Knock on door]

Milo:Miss Davis.

Sonny: Let her in.

Alexis: This will only take a moment. I'm sorry.

Max: I'll bring the car around.

Sonny: You know, I don't want to say I'm in a hurry and I gotta go, oh, but I gotta go, so --

Alexis: A dead body was found after the explosion, in the water under the cannery. What do you know about it?

Sonny: Uh, not a thing. But if you got any more questions, can you ask me tomorrow? 'Cause tonight I got important plans with my son.


Alexis: The dead guy was I.D.’d as a Randall Compton. His last address was in Martha’s Vineyard, and we have reason to believe that he had connections to Ric's girlfriend, Marianna.

Sonny: Well, that's probably who you need to speak to.

Alexis: No, she's gone. She left town. In a hurry, I might add.

Sonny: I don't know any of these people. I mean, talk to Ric, because I'm sure Ric knows everything, right?

Alexis: Typically, when a dead body is involved, you are, too.

Sonny: Alexis, I don't know Randall whatever, and it's been, you know, a long time since I've been to Martha’s Vineyard. Anything that has to do with Ric really doesn't interest me, so...

Alexis: Compton was killed by a blow to his head, which could have been caused by debris from the explosion.

Sonny: It's still not my problem.

Alexis: However, Kate was shot nearby, and the shooter was never found, so is it possible that you got to him first and had him taken out?

Sonny: Shh. I got to say -- there's something I gotta tell you, okay?

Alexis: If this is a confession, you need to call a lawyer.

Sonny: No, this is -- this is not something I would be telling the D.A. The only reason I'm telling you is because you are the mother of one of my children.


Alexis: Obviously, this sounds important.

Sonny: Yeah, I want to be able to trust you and confide in you because this is --

Alexis: Just say it, all right? Because when you do this, it makes me really nervous.

Sonny: I don't -- I don't want you to, you know, look, I don't want you acting on this information in a formal capacity. I would not tell the D.A. this. I wouldn't --

Alexis: Okay, you can trust me as our daughter's mother.

Sonny: Michael shot Kate.

Alexis: On purpose?

Sonny: No, no. It was an accident. He -- for whatever reason, he felt that he had to protect Carly and Morgan, and after Emily and Leticia were murdered, he bought a gun off some punk.

Alexis: He bought a gun?

Sonny: Yes, he bought a gun.

Alexis: He's 12.

Sonny: Well, I mean...

Alexis: He's 12. He bought a gun, and he had it in the house with his little brother. Man. Oh.

[Laughs]

Sonny: Okay, you know what? I know why you kept Kristina from me early on, and I know that my life is -- is not great, okay? And I know that it hurt Michael and you're worried that it could hurt Kristina. But I'm telling you, I'm promising you on my children's lives, that I am changing all that.


Alexis: I don't want you to lie to me about this any more, okay? Because it has too much of a profound effect on our daughter.

Sonny: I'm not saying I'm getting out of the business, 'cause you and I both know that if I tried that, it would be like committing suicide. But I am concentrating on my legitimate holdings.

Alexis: What is the point of that? It's just a cover for the mob.

Sonny: No, it's not just a cover for the mob because I want -- I want my kids to, you know, to not have lives that are tainted, you know? I want them -- I fell into this. They don't have to. I want them to inherit something that isn't soaked in blood.

Alexis: And you -- you just came to this conclusion now because of Michael and Kate?

Sonny: They're growing up. I gotta make changes, you know. I don't want Kristina or Morgan to have to go through what -- what Michael did. I'm -- I'm -- I know it's hard for you to believe me, but I'm making peace. I'm going to try to show them a different way. They're actually -- Kate and Michael are meeting me at the warehouse because I got a coffee shipment coming in. It's just coffee, trust me. I want Michael, you know, to see what his dad does for a living. And I can't do that standing here answering questions about, you know, a dead man that I've never met, so...

Alexis: Okay, go.

Sonny: Okay.

Alexis: Yeah. Sonny. Um, have a good time with your son.


Jerry: Come on, Ian, answer.

[Brakes squeal]

Alexis: Are you insane? You nearly killed me.

Jerry: Alexis, I am so sorry. Are you all right?

Alexis: No.

Jerry: Well, I'm sorry. I seem to have lost my phone.

Alexis: Forget about your phone. What the hell is wrong with you?


Michael: Dad? There is a stack of coffee bags so high, this guy had to use a ladder to reach the top.

Sonny: And they are still unloading the ship. And you know what else?

Michael: What?

Sonny: This coffee is going to be in stores and restaurants from the Hudson River all the way up to Canada.

Michael: Yeah, right.

Sonny: What is that supposed to mean?

Michael: What's really in these coffee bags? You can tell me. Are you smuggling something?

Sonny: Mike -- Michael, you know what? That's not even funny.

Michael: You're not really a coffee importer?

Sonny: Yes, I am. I am very proud of the business. It is for you, Morgan, and Kristina. If you do this right, you won't need a gun. Do you get what I am saying?

Michael: Yeah. Love you, Dad.

Sonny: I love you, too. Go on and play. Stop bothering me.

[Gunshot]

Sonny: You okay?

Kate: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not hit. Are you okay?

Sonny: Yeah.

Foreman: He's bleeding! Someone call 911! Mike, can you hear me?
