10, 2009 Transcript Alexis: What physical evidence do you have to tie Jason to the homicide? Mac: Well, that's just it, we don't have any. No physical evidence, no eyewitnesses. Two Zacchara men were found shot at the scene by a make and model weapon Jason's been known to favor. Drugs were found at the scene, so we're guessing Sonny's sending a message not to traffic in his territory. Alexis: All right. Well, I'll see what I can do. Mac: Alexis. You're gonna hear a lot of abusive, hurtful comments. Don't take it personally. Alexis: I'll only listen to the truth. Sonny: Alexis went from Ric, my twisted brother, Jerry, the psycho— Alexis: I really don't appreciate your talking about my personal life behind my back. Diane: Trust me, I find Sonny's derogatory comments just as offensive as you do. Alexis: Thank you. Sonny: I'm just trying to help you out, Alexis. Alexis: What, by laughing at me with your friend here? Jason: I just want to get released. Alexis: Well, you're right. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Sonny: Just--you might want to breathe, 'cause I don't want you to have a panic attack. Alexis: Oh, look who's talking. Why don't we have a panic attack-off? Sonny: Okay. Um... what we talked about earlier... consider it a personal favor. Don't worry about it. Alexis: What personal favor? Sonny: Nothing. Alexis: What's he talking about? What kind of favor? [Cell phone rings] Diane: I got it. I got it. Don't fight me. Just don't fight me. Let me get it for you. [Ring] There. Alexis: Since when do you allow phone calls while we're questioning? Diane: Rules are made to be, shall we say, bent? Jason: Hey. Carly: Jason, it's me. Look, I'm sorry to call you. I'm kind of freaking out here. I just have this feeling that something's wrong. I thought I'd see if you're okay. Alexis: The party that you're speaking to is under arrest. He'll have to call you back some other time. [Line disconnects] Jason: What are you--that was-- that was Carly. Diane, can you call her back and just tell her what's going on. Alexis: This is not a social hour. Diane: If you want Jason's help, I strongly suggest you alter your tone. Alexis: What are we talking about? Why would I want his help? [Cell phone rings] Carly: Jason, what the hell is going on? Diane: Carly, it's Diane. Carly: Diane, why has Jason been arrested, and how come no one called me? Diane: Look, it's purely routine. There's no way in hell these charges are going to stick. However, Alexis needs some public relations enhancement at the moment, so Sonny has agreed to allow Jason to stay in lockup for a week. Carly: A week? As a favor to Alexis? That's insane, Diane. There's no way he's gonna stay in lockup for a week. Do you understand me? Diane: Okay, lovely talking to you. Uh, we'll be in touch as soon as we know anything. Bye-bye. [Beep] Jason: Ow. What-- Diane: Just let me do it. Just let me do it, for God sakes. Jason: Get the phone. Diane: Don't-- ahem. Alexis: You're staying in lockup so that you can help me? Jason: Well, I haven't really agreed to it yet. Diane: Look, the charges are flimsy as tissue paper, but you need a win here. Alexis: It's very nice of both of you, but I can handle my own case. Jason: See? Listen to her, Diane. Diane: Stay out of this! Look, I know this comes as a blow to your pride, but let's face it, Alexis, you need friends in your corner. If keeping Jason Morgan in lockup-- Louise: Diane, Alexis. Diane: Louise. Alexis: What are you doing here, Louise? This is my case. Louise: No, I'll be replacing you, at the request of the city council. They foresee a conflict of interest considering your current ... difficulties. Louise: The city council has zero tolerance for a D.A. who's soft on organized crime. Alexis: I'm not. Louise: [Laughs] You have one daughter by the local godfather and another one by his brother. Alexis: My personal life shouldn't have anything-- Louise: We have the chance to put Sonny Corinthos' right-hand man behind bars. This has to be done properly. Alexis: Fine. The case is all yours. Good luck. Louise: I won't be needing any luck. Alexis: [Giggles] [Door closes] Louise: Shall we begin? Diane: Oh, by all means, let’s. Louise: Your client is a suspect in a double homicide-- Diane: My client is being unlawfully detained. He was arrested without a warrant, denied due process, and your office has yet to produce one shred of evidence linking him to the incident in question. In short, A.D.A. Addison, you and your horrific designer knockoff shoes are holding a pile of baseless allegations, and unless my client is released post-haste, you will be the one facing criminal charges. Louise: That is patently ridiculous. Diane: I have a strong case for obstruction of justice, on your part, and I will not hesitate to bring it in front of a judge. Alexis: Looks like the city council isn't wasting any time. Mac: I'll see what I can do. Alexis: Thank you, Mac. Although the A.D.A. did make a few salient points about conflict of interest. Diane: I trust there will be no further action on this case. Louise: Let him go. Immediately. Alexis: Sure showed me. Ooh. Mac: You're free to go. Jason: You're good. Diane: Mm-hmm. That's why you and Sonny pay me the big bucks. Alexis: What did you say to her? She looked nauseous when she walked out of there. Diane: She's lucky I didn't petition to have her disbarred. And I still might. Just on general principle 'cause I didn't like her. Alexis: And I like that you don't like her. Diane: Did you see her shoes? Did you see her shoes? God! [Cell phone rings] Jason: Yeah? Yeah, I'll be right there.
