[Dramatic music]
Well, these are gorgeous. You shouldn’t have.
Steve: I didn’T.
Sonny: [Whistling] Uh, hello?
Sloan: Oh, hi, good morning.
Sonny: Hi. Okay then.
Sloan: Mm.
Sonny: What happened to all the coffee?
Sloan: Oh, sorry; I finished it off. I need, like, three cups just to get my day started. You know, if you’d like, I can have hendo bring you up some more.
Sonny: Hendo? Okay. Let me guess; you’re alex’s friend?
Alex: Somebody say my name?
Sloan: Oh.
[Knocking at door]
Gwen: Dad. What are you doing here?
Jack: I came to update you on your sister’s murder investigation, unless you’ve already seen the news.
Gwen: No, I only just got up. What’s happened?
Jack: The police have a new suspect in custody.
Gwen: Really? Who?
Jack: Your friend, leo stark.
[Door clicks open]
Leo: Oh, finally–and now, I am leaving.
Shawn: Nope, guess again.
Leo: What? You already held me here all night for no reason.
Shawn: We held you here, ’cause you’re the main suspect in the abigail dimera murder case.
Leo: [Sighs]
Shawn: We have some more questions we need you to answer.
Leo: No, I am not dating anyone, and yes, I put out on the first date.
Shawn: You may not know this, but abigail was my cousin, and I’m taking this very seriously, and I think you should too.
Leo: Oh, I am. I plan to sue you, the commissioner, and the entire department for unlawful detention. In the meantime, you cannot and will not prevent me from employing humor as a way of surviving this interminable confinement.
Shawn: Oh, you want me to speed this up? Want me to speed it up, huh? I’ll make you a deal, all right? I’ll tell the D.A. To go light on your sentence if you confess to the murder of abigail.
Jada: Chad, I know it probably isn’t easy being back here at this house. If you prefer, I can do the search myself, and you can wait outside.
Chad: Not a chance. If leo stark killed my wife, I’m gonna do everything in my power to prove it.
Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”
[Soft orchestration]
[Dramatic music]
Jada: He seems like quite the character.
Chad: My father? Yeah, I could go on for hours about the great and powerful stefano dimera, but we should probably get started.
Jada: Do you need a minute?
Chad: No, I’m good; just tell me how you want to proceed.
Jada: Your son said he ran into leo stark in the basement. How do we get down there?
Chad: Entrance is over here.
Jada: Seriously?
Chad: What, you don’t have secret tunnels in your house? I’ll lead the way.
Leo: For the last time, I did not kill abigail dimera!
Shawn: Well, we have a witness that puts you in the house the night of the murder.
Leo: Oh, please, are you talking about that mentally ill little boy who thinks I’m the tooth fairy? Have you questioned santa claus and the easter bunny as well?
Shawn: Well, we questioned clyde weston. Yeah, he said that you were in possession of a bag of jewelry that was stolen from abigail’s bedroom the night that she was murdered, all right? If you were never there, how did you get that jewelry?
Jack: Based on the information that clyde and thomas gave to the police, leo is now at the center of your sister’s murder investigation.
Gwen: But nothing that they said proves that he did it.
Jack: Leo was hiding out in abigail’s basement. He had her jewelry. If he’s innocent, how do you explain that?
Gwen: I suppose I can’T.
Jack: Gwen, you were close with leo. Did he say or do anything that would lead you to believe that he could’ve killed abigail?
Leo: Why would you think that I killed abigail?
Gwen: You were in her house last night.
Leo: You sent me there.
Gwen: I sent you directions to the secret room where you were obviously lying in wait.
Leo: Obv–no, I was drinking mimosas and working out a plan for revenge, which did not include me going all norman bates.
Gwen: Listen, if anyone understands, it is me. I understand the resentment and the rage that you felt when you crept out of that room and into abigail’s bedroom, and you got that revenge that you so bloody-well deserved.
No, dad. Honestly, I’m just as shocked to hear about this as you are.
This is the sound of better breathing.
Kayla: Well, who else would send me yellow roses?
Steve: Oh, maybe one of the kids. There’s a card.
Kayla: “Dear kayla, I apologize for any trouble I may have caused you in the past. Please know you have nothing to fear from me. All my best, orpheus.”
[Dramatic music]
Alex: Mm–[Smooches] Yes, I am starving.
[Sighs]
Sonny: So alex, aren’t you gonna introduce me to your friend?
Alex: I’m sorry, sonny. This is lisa.
Sloan: Actually, it’s sloan.
Sonny: Nice to meet you.
Alex: Are you sure?
Sloan: Are you serious?
Alex: I’m sorry. I’m terrible with names.
Sloan: Well, lucky for you, you’re good at a few other things.
Alex: Sloan, this is my baby bro, sonny.
Sloan: Nice to meet you, sonny. Sorry again about polishing off all the coffee.
Sonny: Oh, it’s–
Alex: Ugh!
Sonny: Fine–totally fine. So have you guys, like, known each other for a while?
Alex: No, we met last night.
Sloan: Mm.
Alex: It was last call at a little place called small bar, and we kind of just found each other.
Sloan: Wait, so you remember the name of the bar you were at last night, but you don’t remember the name of the woman you slept with?
Alex: Only because we were joking about how literal the name was.
Sloan: Mm.
Alex: It was like the owners looked at the place and was like, “well, it’s small, and it’s a bar, so”–
Sloan: “We should call it small bar.”
Sonny: [Laughs] Oh.
Alex: Exactly.
Sonny: Funny.
Alex: I’ll tell you this though. If your name was pretty woman, I would’ve gotten it right off the bat.
Sloan: Huh. I think he just referred to me as that hooker from the julia roberts movie.
Alex: Anyway, sloan and I had an instant connection, which was a huge relief after your baby mama turned me down.
Sonny: Gabi?
Alex: Yup, she was at small bar last night too. You forgot to tell me she was smoking hot.
Sloan: [Clears throat] Hello? Hi–still in the room.
Alex: Baby, I’m sorry. You’re smoking hot too.
Sloan: Uh-huh. Okay, hon, I think you sort of lost your touch. I’m gonna run out and grab more coffee for us.
Alex: Oh, a doll.
Sonny: Thank you.
Sloan: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: Oh, I know. That’s–I’m gonna be honest. I can’t believe she didn’t just smack you across the face.
Alex: Wait, did she say she was into that?
Sonny: No. You insulted her, like, a dozen times.
Alex: Sonny, she’s cool. She knows I’m not out to hurt anybody’s feelings. I like beautiful women; sue me.
Sonny: Okay, and how many– how many beautiful women did you hit on last night?
Alex: Pfft, like, four?
Sonny: [Mockingly] “Like, four”–four?
Alex: I mean, that’s including your sister-in-law.
Sonny: Oh, my god. You are, like, the most shameless horndog ever.
[Sighs] Yeah, hilarious.
Alex: [Laughing]
Leo: Listen up, chiseled-cheeks. I have no idea what clyde weston is talking about. I’ve never even met the guy.
Shawn: That’s interesting, because he says that you two were partners in a fencing operation.
Leo: I’m sorry; fencing? You mean, like, sword play?
Shawn: No, as in the crime of buying and reselling stolen merchandise. He said that you were in possession of a bag of jewelry that you were just looking to unload–jewelry that belonged to abigail.
Leo: As I said, I’ve never even met the guy, let alone conspired with him to sell stolen goods.
Shawn: Okay, why would he lie?
Leo: I don’t know! He’s–he’s out on parole. Maybe he doesn’t wanna spend the rest of his life in prison.
Shawn: Oh, clyde’s got an air-tight alibi.
Leo: Well then, maybe he’s afraid you could still find a way to pin this on him.
Shawn: Okay, so maybe that’s true. Let’s just say that it is. Can you tell me why is it that he would want to pin this on you? Why you?
Leo: [Sighs] His girlfriend put him up to it.
Shawn: Nancy?
Leo: Yes! That pathetic woman hates me for stealing her husband.
Shawn: That’s not the way that I heard it. I heard it was an epic fail on your part.
Leo: Well, that’s only because the losers in this town wouldn’t mind their own business. But my breakup with craig aside, nancy still wants revenge against me; she blames me for breaking up her family.
Shawn: I hear that she and clyde are very happy together.
Leo: Oh, I’m so happy they found each other. But it doesn’t change the fact that you’re holding me here, when all you have is the word of a spoiled brat and a career criminal whose bae despises me. You have no real evidence to back up these insane accusations.
Shawn: Not yet. But we’re working on it.
Jada: These tunnels, are they only underneath the house?
Chad: No, they go on for miles.
Jada: So there are access points beyond your property?
Chad: Yes, several, all over salem.
Jada: Could there be a way that leo used them to get down here?
Chad: I mean, they’re all locked and hidden, but yeah, I guess it’s possible.
Jada: What is this one used for?
Chad: Storing wine, mostly, and some other stuff, like, holding people against their will.
Jada: Ever consider just sealing it off?
Chad: Where would we store our wine? Son of– thomas was right. Leo was under our noses the whole time.
When moderate to severe
ulcerative colitis persists…
Sloan: Alex.
Alex: Ah.
Sloan: Oof, it’s been a blast, but I gotta get into the office.
Alex: Let me walk you out.
Sloan: I think I can manage. Nice to meet you, sonny.
Sonny: Same.
[Dramatic music]
So are you guys, like– like a thing now?
Alex: I mean, I wouldn’t mind hanging out with her again, for sure. But if you are asking me if I’m looking for anything serious, no.
Sonny: Oh, right.
Alex: What?
Sonny: Hm, what, what?
Alex: What, no, you just had a little look there.
Sonny: I didn’t think I gave you a look.
Alex: Oh, no, you most definitely gave me a look. It was like one of those judgmental “why aren’t you having a thing with a woman you just met” kind of look.
Sonny: Oh, so you barely know her, but you still had sex with her?
Alex: Yeah.
[Scoffs] What is that, like, immoral, sonny? Was I supposed to pledge my troth to her before I–I don’t know, how do they say it in the olden days? Made whoopee?
[Laughs] It’s the 21st century, for god’s sake.
Sonny: I know it’s the 21st century, alex. But I just–I guess I’m not as cavalier about using people as you are.
Alex: How did I use her? That woman never for one minute indicated that she wanted anything more from me than sex.
Sonny: Everyone wants more than just sex, alex.
Alex: Really? Everyone?
Sonny: Yeah.
Alex: Now, how do you know that, sonny? Did you take the “everyone wants more than sex” survey?
Sonny: No, I–I didn’t take a survey, alex. But you know, I’ve come across a lot of normal people with normal hearts and souls, and they do want relationships, and yes, that does include sex, but also a lot of other things, like, caring for someone else and sharing a life together. I mean, everyone deserves to be loved.
Alex: Oh, I agree with you. You know why? Because I am feeling very loved. I have a father who loves me. I got a brother who really loves me, and I got friends. I got a lot of friends, and I know you and will are very domesticated, and that’s a beautiful thing. It’s just not for me. It’s not my style–
Sonny: Then–
Alex: It’s not what I’m looking for.
Sonny: You–you–
Alex: But hey, you do you.
Sonny: But that way, you don’t get to experience, like, the real hard stuff, the scary stuff, the stuff that actually takes courage, you know? Like, commitment and sacrifice and a lot of other things.
Alex: Mm. Well, see, the scary the stuff that you’re talking about actually just sounds boring– but not just boring, but suffocating–but if you’re into that–
Sonny: No, do you know what I’m into, alex? I’m into loving another person, and not just the person that I have sex with, but the person that is my best friend and my family and my partner–and you know what? If that means I have to make some sacrifices along the way, so be it, because I think that loving someone and having them love you back is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Alex: Okay, and you are very defensive. Let’s move on. Have some breakfast. Have a–do you want a croissant? Look at the croissants.
Sonny: They look great. You know what? Fine, okay, you know what? Let’s just move on. Let’s pretend we never had this conversation, because clearly, you’re dead set in this shallow lifestyle, and I’m not gonna change your mind, and it’s your life, so–
Alex: Great, thank you.
Sonny: Yeah, you’re welcome. Ah!
[Stumbles over words] I’m sorry, alex, but I’m worried about you, man.
Alex: Why are you worried about me?
Sonny: Because, you know, you’re my brother, and I love you–
[Groans] And I just don’t want you to be a misogynist.
Alex: A misogynist?
Sonny: Yeah.
Alex: Don’t they, like, hate women? I love women.
Sonny: But you don’t respect them or their feelings.
Alex: Okay, I’ve already gone over this with you, sonny. I’ve told you this. All the women that I have sex with are completely fine with my having no regard for their feelings–
[Whispers] Because they have no regard for mine–
[Normal voice] Just the way I like it.
Sonny: Look, you know what? This is a moot point. Clearly, I’m not getting through to you, so let’s just end this here, okay? I got some work to do.
Alex: Whoa, whoa, hang on a second. Did you see this?
Sonny: See what?
Alex: They have a new suspect in your cousin’s murder case.
Sonny: Who is it?
Alex: Don’t you know this guy?
Leo: So basically, you’re trying to railroad me?
Shawn: No, not at all. I’m just trying to conduct a thorough investigation.
Leo: No, no, you’re holding me hostage while you throw things up against the wall to see what sticks. That’s not how the criminal justice system works. I know the law, and I know my rights. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury–
Shawn: What are you doing?
Leo: I, leo chalamet stark–
Shawn: Your middle name’s chalamet?
Leo: Quiet in the courtroom.
Shawn: This isn’t a courtroom.
Leo: I stand before you today an innocent man wrongfully accused of this heinous crime. There are people in this town– vicious, vindictive people– who want to see me take the fall for something I did not do. But I’m not guilty. I am not wicked, and they will never ever bring me down.
Shawn: Are you done?
Leo: Yes, and now I would like to call my lawyer.
Chad: You guys said that you haven’t–haven’t found the murder weapon yet?
Jada: Not yet. Forensics now thinks it’s a steak knife, but I don’t see one here.
Chad: Yeah, me neither.
Jada: You mentioned earlier that some of the tunnel entrances are hidden. Any idea how leo could’ve found them?
Chad: I’m not sure. I–I didn’t even think he knew about the tunnels.
Jada: Is there anyone you can think of that might’ve told him?
Chad: Yeah, one person comes to mind.
Gwen: Oh, I have known leo a very, very long time, back before when he was matty cooper, and yes, he is–he’s capable of doing many things, but murder is not one of them.
Jack: Gwen, I know you don’t wanna think about your friend being able to do something like this, but he did have a motive. He was furious with abigail and chad for their part in ruining his future with craig. It’s no secret that he wanted revenge.
Gwen: Yeah, but he already did that, didn’t he, when he sent in that rubbish story about him and chad to “the intruder”?
Jack: Which left abigail.
Gwen: Look, it doesn’t matter how angry leo might have gotten. He would never go this far, stabbing a mother of two children to death. No, there’s just no way. Well, if it wasn’t leo or lucas or sarah or clyde, then who? Who could’ve done something so horrible to my daughter?
Kayla: You don’t really think that orpheus put a bomb in there?
Steve: Well, explosives are his weapon of choice.
[Sighs] Okay, no bomb.
Kayla: So it’s harmless?
Steve: Harmless? No, baby, this is a threat.
Kayla: Obviously, orpheus’ apology was insincere. But I would hardly call a few flowers a threat.
Steve: It’s a message, kayla–his way of saying he can get to you any time he wants. I’m gonna deliver a message of my own.
Kayla: What are you doing?
[Gun cocks]
Steve: I’m gonna track that son of a bitch down, and I’m gonna kill him.
Kayla: Are you insane? Put that gun back.
Steve: I have to stop orpheus before he hurts you.
Kayla: No, no, no. You need to calm down.
Steve: Calm down?
Kayla: Yeah.
Steve: That maniac is coming after my family. I already told you that he threatened the kids.
Kayla: He is playing mind games with you. You can’t let him get to you.
Steve: What is he doing here, huh? Huh? His grandson and his son are gone. Everyone in salem despises him. The only thing keeping him here is whatever sick plan he’s cooking up.
Kayla: No, no, no, no. He just got a pardon. I don’t think that he is going to do anything to send himself back to prison.
Steve: No, I can’t take that chance. I’m not gonna sit around and wait until you disappear again, and he burns you alive, or some cop from seattle calls us with bad news about one of our kids!
Kayla: Look, I know that orpheus is dangerous. But you and the salem pd are gonna watch him like a hawk.
Steve: Oh, yeah, that’s what john said–said, “just keep eyes on him. Tail him 24/7.”
Kayla: Well, there you go.
Steve: No, it’s not enough. I told john we have to be proactive. We have to eliminate the threat.
Kayla: So you already talked to john about killing orpheus?
Steve: That’s right, and when we were talking, orpheus strolled up and mentioned he just paid a visit to marlena.
Kayla: Okay, that’s awful and scary. Okay, okay. But I am almost positive that john did not agree to go vigilante with you. Am I right?
Steve: Yeah.
Kayla: Well, at least one of you is thinking clearly.
Steve: I’m tellin you, kayla. Orpheus is planning something, something big. If we don’t stop him now–
Kayla: Listen to me. Listen. I want that animal back in a cage as much as you do. But you cannot take matters into your own hands. Steve, please. Tell me that you will not do anything crazy.
Sonny: My god, that’s leo stark.
Alex: I thought he looked familiar. That’s the guy who accused you of sexual harassment–
Sonny: Falsely accused. This–this is unbelievable.
Alex: I mean, harassment to murder? That’s a pretty big leap.
Sonny: But if leo killed abigail, then– oh, my god, it’s kind of my fault.
Alex: What do you mean it’s your fault?
Sonny: Leo hated chad and abigail because they helped me break up his relationship with his fiancé. But the only reason they did that was because I asked them to.
Alex: I don’t understand, sonny. What are you talking–
Sonny: Besides being a huge creep, leo is also a huge con man. I dealt with him before, so it was important for me not to let him hurt anyone else, and this new target of his, this fiancé, had a lot of connections to everyone in salem, so busting him was a bit of a group effort.
Alex: That included chad and abigail?
Sonny: Yes, and I put a target on their back.
[Sighs]
Alex: Sonny boy, you cannot blame yourself. Look at me, hey. There is no way that you could’ve known that guy was capable of doing anything like that.
Sonny: I should call chad.
Alex: Right.
Sonny: Make sure he’s okay.
[Phone beeps]
[Sighs]
[Phone ringing] Straight to voicemail.
[Voicemail beeps] Hey, chad, it’s sonny. Um, look I don’t know if you saw the news about leo, but just give me a call when you get this.
[Phone beeps]
[Sighs] Oh, my god.
Gwen: I’m so sorry, dad. I– I know all of this uncertainty must be absolute torture for you.
Jack: I just want justice for my little girl.
Gwen: I know. I wish I could help you.
[Knocking at door]
Jack: Who’s that?
Gwen: I don’t know. Chad.
Chad: I need to talk to you.
Jack: What’s going on?
Chad: Detective hunter and i were searching the basement in my house, and we found evidence that someone had been hiding out in the secret room.
Jack: What did you find?
Chad: Blankets, silverware. Police are doing all the tests for prints and dna, but i already know that it was leo stark.
Jack: Are you sure?
Chad: Thomas said that he ran into him the day that abby was murdered, in the tunnels. I believe him. So it’s only a matter of time before I can prove that it was him. What do you think about that, gwen?
Gwen: Well, as I said to jack, I’m stunned that leo’s involved.
Chad: Really?
Gwen: What does that mean?
Chad: How did he get into my house, gwen?
Gwen: How would I know?
Chad: Well, he found his way into the tunnels, not using an access point on the property. See, the thing about those entrances is they are very well-hidden. So leo wouldn’t have been able to find it unless he was helped.
Gwen: So you think it was me? You think that I helped him break into your home?
Chad: That is exactly what I think.
Gwen: Why would I do that?
Chad: Because he told you he was planning to kill my wife, and you–you vindictive, sadistic, little psycho helped him do it.
[Dramatic music]
Jada: Hey, how’s it goin’ with stark?
Shawn: Well, let’s see. He flirted with me, and then he acted out some bizarre courtroom drama, in which, of course, he was the victim. He’s just been stonewalling me the entire time.
Jada: Mm, so not the most productive morning?
Shawn: No, definitely not. What about you? Any luck at the dimera house?
Jada: Actually, I think I might’ve cracked this case wide open. I was on an antidepressant,
Kayla: I need you to promise me.
Steve: I have to do something, sweetness. I won’t lose you.
Kayla: Well, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. If you kill orpheus, you will go to prison for the rest of our lives. You cannot let him do that to us.
Steve: Okay. I won’t do anything–for now. You have my word.
Kayla: Thank you. All right, I need to get to work.
Steve: Oh, I’m gonna drive you.
Kayla: I don’t need a bodyguard.
Steve: Humor me. Put the alarm on while I dump this trash.
Kayla: Right.
[Alarm buttons beeping]
[Dramatic music]
Sonny: Sounds like they actually have a pretty solid case against leo.
Alex: He was really that angry that his relationship blew up?
Sonny: Yes. I mean, he thought he was set for life, and then at the last second, it was all taken away from him. So yeah, he was pretty pissed off, and he swore revenge against all of us.
Alex: Including you?
Sonny: Okay, um, I asked dad not to tell you and joe and vic. A couple months ago, leo drugged me, and–
Alex: Oh. He took pictures of us in bed, and then he sold them to a tabloid.
Alex: He sexually assaulted you?
Sonny: No. He made it look like we slept together, okay? In order to–I don’t know– humiliate me or ruin my reputation or break up my marriage, whatever.
Alex: Please tell me that you pressed charges.
Sonny: I tried! I tried, but by the time I took a blood test, the drugs were out of my system, and I couldn’t prove a thing.
Alex: Why didn’t you tell us?
Sonny: Because I– I was embarrassed.
Alex: Nobody’s drugging my little brother and getting away with it. Wait until I get my hands on this little weasel–
Sonny: Alex, alex–
Alex: Dirtbag.
Sonny: I appreciate the sentiment, okay? But seriously, he’s not worth it, and he might be going to prison anyway.
Alex: [Sighs]
Sonny: But I just–
Alex: What?
Sonny: Okay, I mean, yes. It’s a given; obviously, leo’s total scum, but– I mean, stabbing someone to death?
Alex: You don’t see it?
Sonny: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but no. I don’t think leo killed abigail.
Jada: The lab’s testing several items from the dimera basement, including the fork. They’re putting a rush on it, so we should have the result very soon.
Shawn: That’s good. I’d like to give abigail’s family some answers.
Jada: And I’d love to give you some. That was your family too, and that was some house she lived in.
Shawn: I know. It’s creepy, right?
Jada: And huge. Did you know there’s a secret room in the basement that you can only access through hidden passageways?
Shawn: Yeah, the tunnels. My mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, they were both held captive there more than once.
Jada: Wha–what is with everyone in this town acting like that’s completely normal?
Sloan: Excuse me, hi. Where can I find leo stark?
Shawn: Uh, who are you?
Sloan: Sloan petersen, attorney at law.
Jack: I’ve already spoken to gwen about leo. She said he never gave any indication that he was planning to hurt abigail.
Gwen: And if he had, I certainly wouldn’t have helped him.
Chad: Gwen, you hated my wife; so did leo. You’re bffs. It makes perfect sense that you would help each other out.
Gwen: I would never.
Chad: [Shouts] Never what, gwen? Come up with a plan to get rid of abby?
Jack: Chad.
Chad: You knew about the tunnels and that room.
Gwen: That’s because abigail held me prisoner down there.
Chad: Yeah, and maybe as payback for that and destroying your future with xander and sending you to prison, you put leo in a position to kill her.
Jack: Calm down! You’re jumping to conclusions!
Gwen: And those tunnels, I mean, they’re not salem’s best kept secret, are they?
Chad: Well, maybe you didn’t know about leo’s plan, but you told him about those tunnels, because you are a vengeful, jealous psycho.
Jack: Enough.
Chad: Don’t you fall for her act, jack, not again. She’s the reason that abigail is dead.
Gwen: No.
Chad: No? The information that you gave leo allowed him to sneak into my house and murder my wife.
Gwen: No, please. Please listen.
Chad: Nah, after all the lies that you’ve said, I am not listening to another word that you say. But I swear to god, when I do have the information to prove that you were involved with this…
the world is full of make or break moments.
[Elevator dings]
Kayla: Listen, I really appreciate you driving me over here. But you didn’t need to walk me up.
Steve: Just a precaution.
Kayla: Well, I’m gonna draw the line with you scrubbing in with me, okay?
Steve: Oh, aren’t you funny? Okay, you just text me when you’re ready to go. I’ll come pick you up.
Kayla: Okay, I’ll do that.
Steve: All right, I’ll see you then. I love you, baby.
Kayla: I love you.
[Phones beep]
Kayla: Oh. Oh.
Steve: Home alarm system went off.
Kayla: Hmm, you think somebody broke in?
Steve: Hmm, hold on. It stopped.
Kayla: Well, you know, I really–I stopped setting it, because it was always malfunctioning. You think it’s just being wonky?
Steve: Well, I better go check it out.
Kayla: All right, well, call me when you know what happened.
Steve: I will.
Kayla: Okay.
Steve: Bye-bye.
[Dramatic music]
Alex: You ready to head to the office?
Sonny: No, I just–I just got the weirdest email.
Alex: About what?
Sonny: Okay, do you remember that little company out in london I wanted to buy, and then at the last second, it just, like, fell through?
Alex: Yeah, the llc swooped in and snatched it, right?
Sonny: Yeah, well, that same llc just emailed me, and they’re offering to sell to titan.
Alex: That’s great!
Sonny: But it doesn’t make– I mean, they’re selling it at the exact same price they bought it for. They would be, you know, not even making a profit.
Alex: Sounds like a steal. You might wanna jump on that before they change their mind.
Sonny: No, I don’t like it. I mean, something’s up here.
[Keyboard keys clicking]
Chad: [Sighs] Okay.
[Ice clittering]
[Sighs] Pull it together.
Shawn: Sloan petersen, isn’t it your day off?
Sloan: I think you have me confused with somebody else.
Leo: Can we focus on me, please? So what do you think?
Sloan: I think you were smart to call me. The police have nothing.
Shawn: I wouldn’t call two witnesses nothing.
Sloan: A kid and an ex-con? Please, it doesn’t get more unreliable than that.
Shawn: I found what they had to say to be very credible.
Sloan: Well then, maybe you’re not really that good at your job. Now, unless you’re going to arrest my client, we’re leaving.
Shawn: No, not so fast. I’m sorry, but we still have some more questions I need answered.
Sloan: Mr. Stark will not be saying another word. Come on, let’s go.
Leo: I do hope we meet again under sexier circumstances. Goodbye.
Jada: Sorry, counselor. But your client isn’t going anywhere.
Sloan: You have nothing to hold him on.
Jada: Actually, we do.
Sloan: What, you found a talking dog that’s gonna back up the seven-year-old and sociopath?
Jada: [Chuckles] Much better. We have new evidence that puts leo at the scene of the crime.
Pool floaties are like whooping cough.
Alex: Why are you so suspicious?
Sonny: Because–because this–this makes no sense. I mean, the llc just bought this company, and now they wanna sell it?
Alex: Maybe it was not a good fit for ’em.
Sonny: No. No, I don’t think so. I think either they dug up dirt on the owner, or they found out he was cookin’ the books. But to give up something this quickly? I mean, it stinks, all right? And I think I’m gonna pass.
Alex: What do you mean you’re gonna pass? Sonny, that’s a huge mistake.
Sonny: No, at first, I was really bummed I didn’t get this deal. But now I don’t know, it kind of seems like a blessing in disguise.
Alex: Sonny boy, this is the perfect acquisition for titan. It’s terrific. You gotta pull the trigger. Uncle vic’s gonna be psyched. Everybody’s gonna be psyched. You’re not gonna get burned.
Sonny: I’m not taking any chances, all right? We’re gonna be late for the conference call. I’ll meet you in the car.
Alex: [Sighs] Damn, bro. I’m trying to help you out here.
[Suspenseful music]
Steve: Freeze!
Stephanie: [Gasps]
[Glass shatters] Papa, don’t shoot!
Steve: Stephanie?
Kayla: No word from steve. I hope everything’s all right. Oh, chad. What happened? Are you all right?
Chad: No, I’m not.
Gwen: Chad is completely off-base. If matty is responsible for what happened to my sister, I swear to you, I–I knew nothing about it.
Jack: Chad is just upset. When he calms down, he’s gonna see that he’s wrong. With any luck, this nightmare will soon be over.
Gwen: Yes. God willing. And we’ll know once and for all what happened to my sister.
Jack: [Sighs]
Gwen: Dad, thank you so much for defending me. You don’t know how much it means to me.
[Sighs]
Sloan: So what is this new evidence you supposedly found?
Jada: A fork with your client’s fingerprints on it. We found it on a tray in the basement of the dimera house.
Sloan: And you have confirmation on these prints?
Jada: Got the lab report right here. It backs up thomas’ story, and it proves that leo was hiding out in that secret room.
Sloan: It proves nothing. This is circumstantial.
Shawn: Well, it’s enough to place him under arrest, and I’m gonna check with the D.A. About filing murder charges, and knowing trask–well, she’s gonna move this along really quickly.
Leo: I did not kill abigail. But–but I know who did. I can prove it.
