28, 2009 Transcript Alexis: Kristina doesn't drive. She has no license. So that idea is ludicrous. Sam: Kristina was driving. She told me. Alexis: If she caused that accident, which I don't believe that she did, she would never have driven away. She would have called for help and stayed on the scene until someone got there. Sam: My goodness. Kristina was driving without a license. If she did cause that accident, her first instinct would be to cover it up. Alexis: That may have been your instinct, but it wasn't Kristina’s. Michael: You're right. I was driving recklessly. I ran Claudia off the road. It's my fault that Claudia lost her baby. My baby brother died, and instead of facing it, I ran away like a coward. Sonny: You're not a coward. You're not a coward. I didn't mean-- Michael: It's true, though. I--I ran away from an accident that I caused, you know? Mom had to save Claudia because I didn't, and she could have died because of that. Nothing I do will bring your baby back. Sonny: Hey... [Michael sighs] Sonny: I'm sorry. Okay? Sam: Just to be clear, I covered up a mistake that you made tonight. I erased surveillance footage of you at the mayor's house. Alexis: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I--I didn’t. I'm just upset. If Kristina did this, what you say that she did, I would know that if she did this, she would tell me. Sam: If she did this, she is scared. She needs to know that you're gonna be here for her to help her and to love her even though she made a mistake. Alexis: And I'll love her no matter what she does. She knows that. Why are you so determined to blame her for something that she didn't do? Sam: No, no, no. She--she thinks that she has to be perfect for you all the time. Alexis: You are blaming her for Claudia's accident that Michael already confessed to. Sam: Talk to her. Let--let her tell you the truth. Let her-- listen to her and let her tell you what really happened. Alexis: I already--she told me already. Sam: No, she's--let her tell you the truth, not the cover story that you want to hear. Alexis: I don't want to hear any of this. Sam: Mom, I am not trying to blame her for this. I want to help her. Alexis: You're not helping. Sam: If she caused Claudia's accident, we have a major problem on our hands. Alexis: Good night, Sam. [Sam sighs] [Alexis breathing heavily] Sonny: Listen... all that--what I said before, I didn't--I didn't mean it. Michael: It's what I deserve. Sonny: No, listen. I had no reason and no right to take my anger out on--I'm not even mad at you. Michael: You should be. Sonny: No, I'm mad at myself for buying you that damn car. Michael: I made the choice to drive it. Sonny: Yeah, but the choice shouldn't have been put in front of you. Your mother was right. See, wh--wh--what I'm doing is I'm buying things to make myself feel better because it was my fault you got shot. But the thing is, you're the one who keeps getting hurt. Michael: Yeah, but I made the choice to get behind that wheel tonight. You know, I--you didn't make me. You--you didn't make me lose my temper. You didn't-- Sonny: But the anger's a physical thing. Dr. Drake said it's gonna take time to stabilize. I knew that, and I still bought you the damn car even though your mother begged me not to. Michael: Is she gonna be okay? Sonny: Yeah, but you know your mother. She pushes herself too hard, and she risked her life saving Claudia and the baby. Michael: Because of me. Sonny: Okay, Michael... you gotta give me and Jason time to sort things out because I can tell you right now Diane is-- is planning your defense. Michael: Diane can't change what I've done. Sonny: Okay, I don't want you to think about this accident. I don't want you to think about the evidence. I don't want you to think about the police. Okay? All I want you to do is just move forward. That's all I want you to do. Michael: Well, I mean, you don't have to protect me from what I did. Sonny: We all make mistakes, right? You make mistakes. I make mistakes. Look, I want you just to forget about what-- everything that I said to you tonight. Tonight was on me, not you. Michael: All--all you've done is try and help me, you know? Even when you yell at me. It's how our family is. We always are saying things and yelling stuff that we don't really mean. But I know that you and Mom really love me. Sonny: We love you tremendously. That's why you're gonna let me take care of this, 'cause I have a--I have a way of making things go away. Michael: Dad, I need to own this, Dad. No matter how many excuses you come up with, it's still my fault that Claudia's baby died. I mean, I-- Sonny: Shh! Edward: Damn you, Corinthos. That boy has spent his entire life paying for your mind-boggling selfishness. But that's over as of now. Get out of this house. You stay the hell away from my great-grandson. Edward: I have many regrets in my life, but the worst by far is allowing you to come in and steal A.J.'s little boy right away from us years ago. You came in, you took him away, and see what you've done to him? Michael: What happened tonight was not-- Edward: You have spent your entire life defending him, making excuses for him, and paying for his--his egregious arrogance, and it's over. Sonny: I love my son, and-- Edward: Oh, he's not even your own flesh and blood. He is a Quartermaine! And we have him here now, and we're going to love him. And I want you to leave this house immediately, or I'm calling the police. Michael: My dad didn't do anything! Edward: I don't care! Sonny: Hey, hey. It's not worth it! He wants me to leave, I'm gonna leave. Get some rest. I'll see you real soon, okay? [Michael sighs] [Monitor beeping] [Carly breathing deeply] [Carly sighs] Carly: Everything okay, baby girl? Mommy just has to get her blood pressure down. We're gonna be okay. Alexis: Carly? Carly: What do you want? Alexis: I wanted to come over here personally and talk to you about this--about Michael's situation. I spoke to a judge. I implored him to take into consideration his mental, his emotional, his physical condition. The judge wasn't having much of it, so the best that we may be able to do is plead him out, 6 months in a juvenile facility. Carly: Now that's impressive. Alexis: I know it's not good enough, and I'm not gonna stop trying-- Carly: You couldn't ever bring a case against Sonny, and you couldn't ever convict Jason of anything, but you can prosecute Michael for something he didn't do. Wow. Alexis: The problem is Michael has confessed to this. Carly: Right, and that worked out perfect for you. Alexis: Carly, I'm trying to help. Carly: You're trying to cover your own ass at Michael's expense, and there's no way in hell I'm gonna let you. Alexis: Where are you getting this from? Carly: We both know Michael didn't run Claudia off the road tonight. You did. [Inaudible] Edward: Well, I already have calls in to our attorneys. Can't have you defended by a mob lawyer. You'd be found guilty even before the facts are in. Michael: But I am guilty. Edward: That's beside the point. The Quartermaine lawyers have a tradition of making guilty people look innocent. You'll be fine, son. All you have to do is stay away from Sonny. Sonny: I admire my father. I want to be like him. Edward: Oh, please. Sonny Corinthos is an interloping thug who stole you away from your true family. And you're here now, son, and--and we love you. And we're going to protect you no matter what you've done. But now I think you should go up to bed. You look terrible. Michael: I'll, uh, be up there in a little while. Edward: When was the last time you ate anything? I'm gonna have Cook fix you something. Michael: No, don't wake her up. I'll just raid the fridge. Edward: Oh, you're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din. Don't you wake her up. Michael: What are you doing here? Kristina: I needed to warn you. My mom talked to a judge. You're going to do at least 6 months in juvenile detention. Carly: You got in a fight with the mayor's wife, and then you pulled on to Harbor View Road driving like a maniac. You're the one who drove Claudia off the road. Then you showed up later to check out the evidence. Alexis: Carly, where are you getting this from? Carly: I was there. It wasn't Michael's car, and I'm beginning to think it was yours. Alexis: I saw the report--the description that you gave to Lucky. In that report, you said that you couldn't clearly recall the car-- Carly: I said that it was a small, light-colored car, kind of like the new white hybrid you're driving around. Alexis: I understand your need to protect your son. I would do the same thing if I were in your position. Carly: You know what Mac told me? You were the only suspect until Michael confessed. Alexis: Carly, I didn't do it, nor was I charged. Carly: And now you're taking advantage of Michael, who is confused and-- Alexis: Michael walked into that police station on his own and-- Carly: Michael is innocent, and I am not gonna let you frame him, you self-righteous bitch, 'cause it's not gonna happen! Do you hear me? Jax: Alexis? What are you doing here this late? Alexis: Jax, I'm sorry. Carly: Alexis is the one that caused the accident, and now she's trying to frame Michael. [Alexis sighs] Michael: What'd your mom say exactly? Kristina: She went to the station to look over your confession to see if she could help you. Michael: [Sighs] Why would Alexis do that? She can't stand me. Kristina: I think she's covering for herself. My mom was at the mayor's tonight. She was driving on Harbor View Road. I think there's a good chance she made Claudia crash. Michael: Claudia lost the baby. Kristina: It was an accident. Nobody ever meant to hurt that baby or anyone else. Michael: Don't worry about your mom because I know I'm the one who did it. Okay? I swerved into her lane. I made Claudia crash, and whatever happens to me, I deserve it. Kristina: You're a minor recovering from a head injury. There's no way you should be locked up for something that you couldn't help, that you didn't mean to do. Kristina: Maybe my mother's wrong. Maybe Diane Miller can get you out of this. She gets Jason and our dad acquitted all the time. Michael: Yeah, and I'm sure the Quartermaines will help me out, too, but that's not the point. I killed our unborn baby brother, and I should pay for that. Kristina: You didn't mean to hurt anyone. You were just driving too fast. Michael: I was trying to catch up with the guy who cut me off, then these headlights came out of nowhere, and I ran Claudia off the road. I didn't even stop. Kristina: Are you absolutely sure it was Claudia's car? Michael: It had to be. Kristina: You weren't the only person out driving the point tonight. Maybe someone else-- Michael: When I was little, um, and things got dangerous, my dad would send me and Morgan off to the island. Kristina: What was it like? Michael: Paradise, you know? Beaches forever. Dad owned everything--the buildings, casinos, the island itself, you know? We would hang out on the beach all day almost every day. Kristina: I always wanted to go. Michael: You were invited. Kristina: Is that what Dad told you? Michael: I mean, yeah, I'm sure you were. Yeah, we would have had such a good time. Kristina: My mom would have never let me go anyway. Michael: Well, it did get lonely, you know? But the one thing I learned was that sometimes it's a good idea to just disappear. Kristina: You don't mean now. Michael: It'll be better for everyone. Kristina: Where will you go? Michael: I don't know. Not the island 'cause that's the first place Dad'll look. I'll go... who knows? Um, somewhere. Canada? Mexico? You know, I'll just vanish like Jason used to. I'll change my name. I'll get a job. Kristina: What about school? Michael: Dad barely even finished high school. He did fine. Kristina: But your situation is completely different. You have serious medical issues! Michael: Look, Dad dealt with a lot of stuff when he was younger, too, but he never asked anyone to get him out of trouble. Dad took care of himself, and so will I. Carly: Yeah, your good friend here, she caused the accident, and now she's trying to blame Michael. Alexis: Jax, I'm sorry. Carly: You're not gonna get away with it. I'm gonna prove it. I saw the car. I saw your car. It was a white hybrid. Jax: All right, Alexis. Now's not a good time. Alexis: I agree. Again, I'm sorry. [Door opens and closes] Jax: You promised me that you would take it easy. You need to take care of yourself. Carly: I am not gonna lie here in this bed while she frames my kid! Michael's car was nowhere near that accident, and you have to believe me. Jax: I believe that you believe you're telling the truth. Carly: Oh, my God, that's not the same thing! What the hell is that? Jax: I will take care of Michael, okay? I will do whatever I have to do to prove he's innocent. Carly: Even if that means going up against Alexis? Jax: Yes. I will do whatever it takes. You need to--you need to trust me, okay? You don't have to fight this battle alone, Carly. Carly: Michael's innocent. I know he's innocent. Jax: Okay. [Monitors beeping] Alexis: Honestly, I was just trying to help. Jax: I know, I know, but you should've checked with me first. Alexis: All right. I had no idea that she thought I could have caused the accident. Jax: Carly's convinced the car she saw force Claudia off the road wasn't Michael's, okay? Alexis: Do you believe her? Jax: Of course I believe her, but I haven't seen much hard evidence either way. Alexis: But Michael confessed. Jax: Look, he is a minor recovering from brain damage. Any competent lawyer can get his confession thrown out. Alexis: [Sighs] I hope so. But this is pretty serious since Claudia now has miscarried. If Michael did do this, covering up is only gonna make it worse. Kristina: I'm going with you. Michael: You can’t. Kristina: I mean it, Michael. I'm so sick of being my mother's perfect daughter. She's a liar and a hypocrite, and if I don't get out, I'll end up just like her. Michael: Kristina, I'm not coming back. Kristina: I don't care. Michael: I don't even know where I'm going! Kristina: All my life I've dreamed of running away like you did when you were little. You were so brave to just strike out on your own. I never had-- Michael: What about school? You have perfect grades. Kristina: I don't care. Michael: What about Kiefer? Kristina: I don't think he'll miss me. Michael: Molly needs you. So does Alexis. And you didn't do anything wrong. You have no reason to leave. Kristina: You're my brother, and I love you, and I can't let you go out there alone. Michael: So you're gonna drop your whole life for me? Kristina: Please, I have plenty of reasons to leave, so don't let it go to your head, okay? Let's go. Michael: Okay.
