18, 2009 Transcript Jax: Sorry, I've been meaning to call you. Alexis: Have you heard from Michael or Kristina? Jax: Not a word. Carly: Have you heard from the kids? Jax: No, she was hoping we have. Alexis: I haven't heard from Sam. I was hoping maybe you've heard from Jason. Carly: No, I only hear from Jason when there's something to hear. Alexis: Okay, I think now is the time to call a private investigator. Carly: No! Hell, no. I do not want these guys coming in here making a mess of everything. Jason can handle it. He'll take care of everything. Alexis: [Sighs] Carly: Jason could check in. He could, and tell us that he hasn't found Michael and Kristina yet, but we already know that. He's not going to stop looking for them until he finds them, okay? Alexis: I know how much faith you have in Jason. Maybe it's a little too much at this particular juncture. Carly: Look, I'm worried about them, too, Alexis. I'm really worried about my kid. Alexis: The odds that they'll be found safely diminish every hour-- Jax: Okay, let's keep perspective. They weren't kidnapped; they ran off on their own. So don't go crazy imagining the worst, okay? Alexis: They're in a foreign country by themselves. Kristina has never ever been on a plane without me, unless it was for a school trip. Has anyone even tried to contact Jason? Carly: Stop! Stop being a control freak! It's handled, okay? It's handled! Alexis: If it were handled, Carly, the kids would be here, home safe right now. Now Sam hasn't called either, and she doesn't have a communication issue. So that implies to me that there's some kind of trouble. Carly: No, it doesn’t. It implies that Sam is doing this Jason's way. That's what it implies. Alexis: For God sake, Carly, it's not showing disloyalty to think that maybe Jason needs a little help here. Carly: You know what? If you would have been honest from the beginning about what really happened, Michael and Kristina wouldn't have run away. Kristina: Would you like to change your shirt another ten times before your big date? Michael: Well, I was out of commission for a year. I'm a little behind the curve on the whole dating thing. A lot behind the curve. Kristina: I don't think Marita noticed. Michael: You don't? Kristina: Look, come on, you talked to Miss Teen Mexico for like two minutes and she asked you out. Michael: Exactly, and I have no idea what to do. Kristina: Well, aren't you lucky you have me to provide experience and advice? Start by thinking of places you want to take her. Michael: I don't know. We could go to the plaza, listen to some music. Maybe go for a walk on the beach. Kristina: A walk? Right. So much for being behind the curve. Michael: What? Kristina: 17-year-old guys are only after one thing, and the beach is where they go to get it. Michael: Oh. How much experience do you have, anyway? Kristina: Enough. Michael: Did Kiefer... push you to do stuff you didn't want to do? Kristina: Kiefer's 17 and he's a guy. Of course he wants to hook up. Michael: Look, I understand that it's a big deal that you're dating a senior, but if Kiefer or any other guy crosses the line and doesn't show you the respect you deserve... you know you can tell me anything that's bothering you. Kristina: Kiefer's great. Was great. But he's in Port Charles and I'm here. How did this become about me, anyway? You go out on your date. You deserve it. Michael: Yeah, I could go for normal. Like pretending school's out, we're working at the resort for the summer, and nothing bad has ever happened to us. Alexis: I don't suppose you've heard from Jason? Sonny: No. Alexis: Well, neither have Jax or Carly. Sonny: He'll bring them home. Alexis: Okay, when? When exactly is that going to happen? Because he's in Mexico. He could be dead in a ditch somewhere. I'm sick of waiting. I want to know what's happened to my daughter. Sonny: She's my daughter, too. And she's with my son, and you're not the only one that has something at stake here. Alexis: I get it. So why aren't you doing something? Sonny: You think I haven't called in every favor? But if I make any more noise, everybody's going to be looking for Sonny Corinthos' kids, including my enemies. Alexis: That is not helpful. Sonny: Michael and Kristina... are on a joyride, probably harmless, right? We're going to find them, bring them home. But if we make the wrong move, they could be in real danger. Alexis: This whole thing is a mess, anyway, 'cause no matter what else I do, her whole life's going to be in shambles. Sonny: What else... what else you do? W-what-- what have you already done to save Kristina? Alexis? Alexis: [Sighs] Kristina: Dear Mom, I hope that someday I can send this to let you know I'm okay. You're probably really disappointed in me for leaving. But I had to. I took Viola's car that night. I was on Harbor View Road, and I swerved into the other lane. I heard a car skid off the road, and I didn't stop. I only have my permit, and I didn't want to get in trouble. I couldn't stand the look on your face. Now Claudia's and Dad's baby is dead, and it may be because of me. That's why I can't come home. [Michael and Marita laughing] Marita: I don't see why we had to come back so soon. Michael: Well, I wouldn't have cut the night short if it wasn't urgent. Maybe you’ll let me make it up to you? Marita: Tomorrow night? Michael: Perfect. [Kiss] Marita: Buenos noches. Michael: Hey, look at what I found at the beach. Kristina: A PDA. I don't get it. Michael: It's unlocked. That means that we can use it, and any messages we send out go untraceable. Kristina: Hmm. Sonny: It never added up for me that you would drive Claudia off the road and keep driving, and blame Michael for it. It's not like you to let an innocent kid carry that kind of guilt. Alexis: Well, people do strange things in a crisis. Sonny: Mm-hmm, and then when we found evidence in your car, you confessed, right? I don't buy it. Alexis: I was just following my conscience. Sonny: You were following your mother's instincts. Here's what I think--I think you're covering for our daughter. Alexis: Don't think. Sonny: It's what you do, Alexis. You've been protecting Kristina from me her whole life. Alexis: Well, I tried. Sonny: Okay, look. I know you're afraid for Kristina; so am I. However this pans out, it involves three of my kids, including one son I'll never know. [Cell phone chirps] [Sonny exhales] Alexis: It's an email. I don't recognize the address. Sonny: Well, what's it say? Alexis: It's Kristina and Michael. "We're safe, we can't come home right now, but please don't worry." Sonny: It could be a trick. Alexis: No, no! "So you know it's us, Saybrook Hall, third floor landing." Sonny: What the hell does that mean? Alexis: Yale! It's my dorm at Yale. I wrote something on the third floor landing. Kristina's the only one that knows about it. She said that when she--she wanted to go to Yale, she wanted to finish writing on it. It's them. Here, look. Sonny: What about Michael? Hold on, I got it, I got it. Alexis: Okay, okay. Sonny: "You covered for me, Dad, after I dropped..." Carly: "Mom's MP3 in the fish tank while playing with Grover." That's Michael's pet frog, Jax! They're okay! Jax: They're okay! Carly: They're okay. Oh, my God. Jax: Whose email did this come from? Carly: No, we'll have to have Spinelli trace it. And we can let Jason know. We're going to bring him home. We're going to bring him home.
