THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[crow cawing]
[sighs] Marlena, there you are. I’m so glad I found you. I checked your office, but–
Oh, I assume you’re here about Everett. [sighs] I’m wondering how he’s doing. Have you heard from him? Well, actually, I was just with him. Oh, so great. That means the intervention worked. At least it got him here, anyway. How is he? [dramatic music] [country music playing] You know, it was so strange to see Everett morph into Bobby right before my eyes. To be perfectly honest, I have never seen that in real life, only on TV. Yeah, listen, I get it, but DID is a real mental illness. In fact, our niece Abigail suffered from it, and so did my sister Kimberly.Mm. She even wrote a book, “Becoming One: My Journey to Wholeness.” Hmm. I may need to read that. Well, it’s out of print now, but I’m sure I have a copy that I could loan you. Thank you. I’d really appreciate that.
Mm.
You know, I really want to understand what Bobby is going through. You sound like you still care about him. I do. I mean, our marriage did end badly, but we shared a life together, and he meant a lot to me at one time. I’m sure. And I guess I’ll come to find out how much I meant to him. [phone ringing] Oh, sorry. One moment.
It’s OK. Go ahead. It’s the station.Mm-hmm. Detective Hunter. I’m on my way. I am so sorry. I have to go. There’s been a shooting at the Kiriakis estate. What?Yeah. My God, Steve is there. [tense music] John, did you hear me? I need help putting up Steve’s legs, please.
John. You OK over there, buddy? Just securing your gun. Wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt.
[sighs][sighs]
What the hell were you thinking? You could have shot Theresa.
But I didn’t, did I? I hit my target. Yeah, you’re lucky you hit your target. I’m luckier. I’ve always been an excellent marksman. Yeah, yeah, I got the scar to prove it. Weren’t you the guy that accidentally shot Marlena at her wedding when you were trying to hit my brother Eric?
[sighs] You have one off day, and it’s all anyone remembers. So am I to take this to mean that you would have preferred it if I just let Konstantin strangle Theresa to death in front of us? Yours is the only opinion that matters, unless you disagree with me too. [sighs] I can’t believe you shot him. We had it under control.
Did not look that way to me. You all know I did exactly what needed to be done. Konstantin Meleounis was a homicidal maniac whose intention was to kill Maggie and steal my uncle’s fortune, and now… he is out of our lives for good. So you can all line up to give your thanks anytime.
[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
I can’t really give you any details right now.
Doctor-patient confidentiality. I totally understand. I was just hoping if you could tell me if Everett is OK or not. Well, actually, I can’t tell you because I don’t know. I haven’t seen Everett. [dramatic music] Oh. So Bobby has followed through on his threat? Bobby is the dominant one right now. He’s stonewalling me and the other doctors, and he’s not letting Everett out.
Is that because he’s still trying to protect him? From dealing with whatever trauma caused his illness, I mean. Yeah, that would be a logical scenario. But how long can he keep him at bay? Doesn’t Everett have to reemerge at some point? Yeah. I can’t answer that. Why can’t you?
Oh, my God. Are you saying that Everett might be gone… forever?
Hey, John, I still need help with Steve when you’re done with that gun. [tense music] Almost there.
[phone ringing] [breathes sharply] Stay still.[groans]
All right, all done. That’s Kayla. All right.That’s Kayla’s ringtone. Yeah. If I answer… not my usual energetic self… she’s gonna worry. OK, no, I–Please. I got you. I got you. I got you. All right. Hey, John, can you help me with Steve? Yeah, sure.Thank you.
Kayla, it’s Sarah. Sarah, why are you answering Steve’s phone? Is he all right? I heard there was a shooting. Yeah, there was. I need to tell you that Steve was injured, but he’s fine. He’s stable. Oh, my God. Tell me what happened. No, I-[siren wailing] The paramedics just got here. He will tell you everything. Just meet him at the hospital. OK, OK, I’m on my way. Oh, that was Sarah. Steve’s been hurt, but she said he’s stable. OK, well, I have to get to the Kiriakis estate, so I’ll take you. Come on.No, no, no, no. The ambulance is almost there. I would miss him maybe. I can’t do that. OK, well, then I’ll drop you off at the hospital. I have the patrol car. I can turn on the lights. All right. OK, yeah. Thanks. Brady, are you–are you sure there’s no pulse? Are you sure he’s really dead? Theresa, you don’t have to worry. He’s–he’s a goner. [sighs] I can’t stop thinking about his last words. Yeah. What was it he said again? There’s still an enemy in your midst. [dramatic music] Was he just being melodramatic? What do you think he meant by that? Well, someone… helped him kidnap your kid. Yeah, right. That’s exactly what he meant. [sighs] Wish I could get that guy alone in the alley. The punk in the hoodie. Who the hell was that?
[sighs]
[sighs]Look, Stephanie, you must not give up hope. We’ve only just begun to work with Everett, and we have a lot of avenues to go down. Right. No, I understand. I just– You just what? I feel so guilty. Why would you feel guilty? Well, because when I first found out about Everett’s double life, I was– I was so angry with him. And now that I know none of it was his fault, all I want to do is help him. You have helped him. Jada has too. You did the intervention. I’m–I’m-I’m beginning to think that we made things worse. Why would you think that?
Well, you said it before. Bobby could just keep in control for good. [sighs] Listen. When your cousin Abigail went through this, things got very bleak for her, and- and then at one point, I don’t know, the personalities integrated and she was back to being herself again. Right, well, Abigail had Chad by her side. Everett has no one. That’s not true. He’s got you. [elevator bell dings] He’s got Jada. Hey, Doc.John, what in the world-Our plan to bring down Konstantin didn’t go as we had hoped here. Things got a little bit sideways. Honey, your father was a part of this, and I’m afraid that he was injured. What? Oh, my God. What-No, no, he wasn’t- he was shot in the side. No major organs were hit. Sarah was right there for immediate attention. I rode with him in the ambulance, and he made bad dad jokes the whole way here. Where is he now? He’s in four, trauma room four. [tense music]
[sighs] Oh, my God.Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you all right?No, no, it’s nothing, baby. Well, it certainly doesn’t look like nothing. What happened? Who shot you? You know–Papa, Papa! Oh, baby girl. [sighs]It’s OK. It’s OK, baby girl.
Xander, baby, it’s me. Where are you? Did you–did you find Theresa? Is she OK? Sorry, I really thought that you would call by now.
Steve’s been transported. John went with him. I just–I want to hear your voice and know that you’re all right. I checked on Victoria, and luckily she’s fast asleep, but I know that she’s gonna want to see her daddy when she wakes up. [sighs] [sighs] Well, we should probably let everyone know that Theresa’s OK. [sighs] No reason to stay here any longer, and sending this lavvy heid to his reward has given me a bit of an appetite. Hope no one finished all the crab rangoon. [sighs] Sarah called me. She must be worried. I better go. I’m afraid I need everyone to stick around for a moment, especially if that’s what I think it is.
All right, who’s gonna start? [sighs] Xander killed him. Way to throw me under the bus, cuz. Is that the murder weapon? Yes, but that’s a bit harsh, calling it murder. Let’s have it.
Tell me everything from the beginning.
Someone? Anyone? OK, hey, here’s the story. Maggie told Konstantin that she would marry him in order for him to stay in the country, but that was before she knew his true intentions. The fact is, this is a very bad man. He was going to kill Maggie. He also sabotaged my grandfather’s plane.
You’re telling me that Meleounis killed Victor? That’s what he admitted to, yeah. All the guests can attest to his confession. And then he attempted to escape by using Theresa as a hostage. He opened fire on our way out, and he shot my Uncle Steve. I managed to catch up with them over here. So did Brady with his dad’s gun, which is right there. Yeah, let’s just… cut to the chase, shall we? Sarah’s waiting. There was a standoff when I arrived. I sized up the situation, grabbed the gun off Brady, used it to shoot Konstantin, who had just confessed to killing my uncle and kidnapping my child. And when I pulled the trigger, he was strangling her, so I had to shoot. Except… moments before Xander shot the gun, he showed little or no regard for Theresa’s safety. Brady is right. I tried to point out the fact that he was putting Theresa’s life in danger, and his exact words were, “I don’t care.”
You ungrateful twits! I just saved Theresa’s life, and instead of being grateful, you’re trying to get me arrested? We’re trying to set the record straight. Theresa, will you please tell Detective Hunter what really happened? [tense music] It’s true. He–Konstantin did choke me. Thank you. But it’s also true that Xander refused to put down the gun even though Konstantin doubled down on his threat to kill me. I was all you had. These two were busy trying to prove who could be more useless, and Konstantin was bluffing anyway. You don’t know that. [phone beeps] Yes, I did.No, you don’t. Yes, I did!No, you don’t! OK, enough. It’s my father. I’m gonna let him know that Theresa’s OK. Yeah, be sure to tell him it’s all thanks to me, yeah?
Brady says that Theresa’s safe. Good. And did Konstantin get away? He’s dead. Xander shot him. Oh. Well, I–I can’t say that I’m upset about that. I mean, he was the one that brought down Victor’s plane. Yeah, and Maggie would have been the next victim if he had gotten his way. It’s just all so ghastly. At least he can’t hurt anybody anymore, and his reign of terror is now over. [mysterious music] Not quite, Doc.
[sighs] So Maggie’s groom, he’s the one who shot you? Konstantin, yeah. He knew the jig was up, so he started firing wildly, trying to get away. Yet you’re the only one who got hit. I was too slow. Maybe I shouldn’t have skipped that second cup of coffee this morning. Well, you always suspected that he had ulterior motives. Yeah, and I hate to say this, but he was planning to kill Maggie so that he could inherit her half of Victor’s fortune. Oh, my God. Is she OK? Yeah, physically, she’s fine. Emotionally, I don’t-I don’t know. You know, can we just wait a second? Can you just back it up and tell me what happened? [sighs] [dramatic music] It was pretty bad, worse than any of us thought. Not only was Konstantin willing to kill Maggie so he could get her money, but he confessed to sabotaging Victor’s plane in Greece. He’s the reason Victor’s dead. Oh, dear God. Poor Maggie. Does Alex know? Yeah, he was–he was there when Konstantin confessed to it. Where is Konstantin now? [phone beeps] Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. [sighs] Oh, it’s a text from Jada. She said, “Don’t worry. Theresa’s OK.” Oh, that’s good. Good. Why wouldn’t she be? What happened to her?
I was getting to that. When everything blew up, Konstantin took her hostage. What? Yeah, we–we–we thought we had everything under control, but unfortunately, our plan just went off the rails. And what plan was that?
I think I’ve got everything I need. Coroner’s on the way.
Can we go back to the house now? I sure would like some distance from… that dead body. It’s fine. You can go. About damn time. I meant the others. I need you to come with me to the station. Why?
You killed a man.
Were you not listening? It was totally justified. Oh, you could have just shot him in the arm, the leg. I panicked. Whatever the case, I need you to come with me. I got to take an official statement from you. Let’s go. [sighs] Thanks for backing me up.
Stephanie, would you mind giving your father and me a moment?[sighs] Whatever’s going on here, can’t it wait? You know, Little Sweetness, I think I owe your mom an explanation. So… hey, maybe you can go down to the cafeteria and get me one of those double fudge brownies, the one with nuts? Sure. OK. Mom, please go easy on him. I make no promises. Here you go. Oh.In case things get dicey. Yeah, well, I don’t think this is gonna do me any good because, you know, all those nurses out there, they’re in your mom’s pocket. Oh.If I press this button, I’m just asking for more trouble. Well, guess you’re on your own, then. Yeah.[chuckles] Thanks, baby girl. [sighs] Now, listen.[sighs] You knew there was something I was keeping from you concerning Maggie. Which I was not happy about, as you well know. And you also promised that everything would work out. You didn’t say that people’s lives would be at stake. Wasn’t supposed to go down like this. Oh, what, gunshots and my niece being taken hostage? Well, I should hope not. So why don’t you tell me, how was it supposed to go down? [dramatic music] Konstantin… held up this card and ordered me to shoot Steve, but it didn’t have any effect on me. I was able to resist his suggestion completely. Then our deep programming is working. Well, yes and no… [tense music] Because after all the chaos, there was a moment when I–
I looked over and I saw this card on the floor, and I was– I was drawn to it, and all I could hear was Konstantin’s orders pounding in my ears all over again.
And then I picked up Steve’s gun.
And?I pointed it at him. [gasps] Sarah was busy. She was tending to his wound. She really needed me. But that damn voice, it was fighting me for control. Dear God. But luckily Kayla called Steve, and there must have been something about the ringing of that phone that just snapped me out of it. But what if it hadn’t?
Well, you weren’t completely blacked out. John, you never would hurt Steve. But we do have to work on getting you out from under Konstantin’s spell. Oh, Doc, you know that I trust you %, but what if it’s not enough? What if– what if I’m still just a ticking time bomb?
Hey, are you sure you’re OK?Yeah. I can take you to the hospital, maybe get you checked out if you want. No, no. Honestly, I’m fine. My neck’s just a little sore.
Yeah. Lift your hair. [sighs] It’s cold. Ready? Ah. Is that better? Yeah. [both sigh] I’m surprised you’re being so nice to me after this morning.
Oh, yeah. You’re talking about when you practically kicked me out of bed just to make room for Alex about a minute later, right? Yeah.
Brady, I know I was insensitive. I’m so sorry if I hurt you. Theresa, thank you, but… [dramatic music] You’re the mother of my boy, and although you make me crazy- you really do sometimes- I’m still gonna care about you.
[sighs] Maggie’s still sleeping, but I told Bonnie and my– Justin what happened. Did I miss anything? No, Brady was just getting me all settled. Nice. Well, now that I’m back here… [groans] I can take over. [sighs] In other words, beat it.
OK, I’ll get this typed up for you to sign. And then I can go, right? These things take time. I still have to run all of this by the DA. [door clicks open] Baby, hey, I just got your message. I came as soon as I could. I’ll let you two catch up. Hey, where’s Victoria? She’s with Bonnie.Mm. Is it true? Did you shoot Konstantin? Yeah, and the bastard’s dead. Don’t have to worry about that dirtbag anymore, Sarah. The police aren’t gonna press charges, are they? Well, that remains to be seen. [sighs] There’s a question as to whether I shot Konstantin to protect Theresa or out of… revenge.
Well… which was it?
[dramatic music] When I arrived on the scene, there wasn’t any time to think. There was so much tension and chaos. And when Konstantin started strangling Theresa, I just…reacted. I mean, honestly, I can’t even tell you what was going through my head at the time. But I can tell you this now: I’m not at all sorry that I shot the bastard. After what he did to Victoria, to Maggie, to Uncle Vic, he got what he deserved.
I just wish you didn’t have to be the one to pull the trigger. Well, I’ll face any consequences that come my way. I do have one regret, though. What is it? Well, Konstantin kicked the bucket before he could tell me who helped him kidnap Victoria that day. Whoever that was, they need to pay as well.
Alex, Brady was-he was just– No, no, it’s all right. It’s OK. Alex, I know you’re in a committed relationship with Theresa, but she’s not your personal property.
No, she is not my property. But I am her boyfriend, and I do know how to take care of her.
You want me to go? [sighs]
I think that-I think it might be best. OK. OK. Feel better, OK?
[clears throat]
Look, I didn’t mean to be a jerk about it. I just want Brady to know where you and I stand. OK. And I–I’m actually glad that we’re– we’re alone now ’cause I didn’t get a chance to thank you… for coming to my rescue. Thank you.
I would not admit this to Xander, but I think he did… us all a favor by ridding the world of Konstantin Meleounis. In some ways, I wish I was the one who killed him… and not just for what he did by taking you hostage but for what he did to my father. He was an evil man.
Down at the mausoleum… [scoffs] He said how Victor was never really a father to me.
He–he only meant– No, I know what he meant. I know what he meant. He was just stating the obvious. Victor refused to claim me as his own for all these years, and instead he let me believe Justin was my real dad.
[sighs]
I’m so sorry.
It’s OK. I forgive him. I mean, after all, he did try to make up for it in the end. He left me half his fortune. [sighs] And as his son, I’m gonna do my very best to make him proud.
So the plan was to frame Konstantin for embezzling? Yeah, and no one was supposed to get hurt. Oh, come on, you had to have known that this guy wasn’t gonna go easily, especially if he was just technically innocent. Well… I think the monkey wrench was that–that confession, because it shocked everyone. He took advantage of that. So you and John put Maggie in danger. She was already in danger. And for what it’s worth, it was her idea. OK, OK, OK, you know what? I just wish you would have given me the heads-up to know that you were walking into a high-risk situation. You mean like a Bat-Signal type of thing? [sighs] ‘Cause you just left me in the dark again. So no Bat-Signal? You know, just an FYI that your charms don’t always work out for you the way you think they do, OK? Baby, I just didn’t want you involved. But you said that John told Marlena. Well, that was his choice. [sighs]And I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you’re upset, but I just felt it was better to keep you out of it. We just had that argument, how you make decisions for us without consulting me, like when you were gonna go to Montana to catch Clyde or when you and John broke him out of Statesville. We are supposed to be partners, but you don’t treat me like a partner. And you know what? That has got to change, because I cannot tolerate being kept in the dark about what’s going on with you, no matter what the hell it is. Do you understand me?
John, I know this is so frustrating for you, but… with a little bit more therapy, I’m sure we can free you from the residual effects of the brainwashing. But you have to-you have to stop being so hard on yourself. How do you do that? You tell me, Doc.
How can I not feel overwhelming guilt for killing that innocent young woman, especially after tonight, when everything that happened was a result of that, the death of Konstantin’s daughter?
No, you can’t look at it that way. Doc, there is no other way to look at it.
And I have realized… that there is only one thing that I can do… and that is, I need to leave Salem.
[dramatic music]
Can I get you something to eat?
No, I’m not really hungry. I think I just want to go upstairs and take a really long nap. Yeah. I’m gonna go with you. But do you think maybe instead of going to your room, maybe you could stay with me in mine now? If you want.
I want that very much.
Come on.
[sighs]
And Dr. Evans said that they haven’t been able to reach Everett?
No, not yet.
Oh, that doesn’t sound good. And I have even worse news. I just spoke with one of his doctors, and they’ve decided to move him to Bayview because they haven’t been making progress here.
Oh. Well, I hope that Bobby- Everett gets the help that he needs.
Me too.
Yeah.
Anyway, I should probably get these to my dad. Oh, it was a nightmare at the Kiriakis house. Is he gonna be OK? Well, physically, yeah, thank God. But mentally, I don’t know what kind of shape he’ll be in once my mom gets through with him.
Mm.
[chuckles]
You’re right, Sweetness. I do have to try harder to be more open with you.
I am just so tired of all the secrecy.
Well, you know, baby, you know, we’ve been down this road before. Your job, my job, sometimes things just need to stay on the down low. That’s–I mean, those are just the rules. No, no, this is- they are not alike. Are you kidding me? Doctor-patient confidentiality doesn’t put our life in danger, doesn’t lead you to almost getting yourself killed. [sighs] I wasn’t killed, and I’m happy about that. Oh.Aren’t you happy, baby? Come on. [scoffs] Let me get a closer look at your wound.
I think we have to take this shirt off. OK. Come on.
[chuckles]
John… you can’t run away from your problem. That’s not my intention. But you just said that you–
Just hear me out, please, sweetheart. I think what I really need to do is, I need to go to Greece. I need to try… to find Catharina’s grave site, and I need to pay my respects.
All right. I’ll go with you. Oh, sweetheart, I appreciate that, but… I really feel that this is– this is something I just need to do alone.
Are you sure? I’m sure.[gasps] I know that I won’t be able to put this nightmare behind me unless I can– I can find a way to just try to set things right with Catharina.
I understand. Before you go, we should do at least one more round of deprogramming.
[sighs] Most definitely. Honey, I’m so grateful for you, for your strength and your wisdom, but mostly I’m- I’m grateful that you’re mine and I love you and you love me. You’re my everything.
Mm. I feel the same way.
[unsettling music]
What a relief that Trask decided not to press charges. Right. I mean, she must have realized she’d be stepping into, like, a buzz saw of bad PR. I’m a bloody hero, damn it.
You really are.
What a day.
Seriously. I’m gonna-I’m gonna check on Victoria, and then I’m gonna see if my mom’s up and tell her what happened. I’ll be up in a minute. Did you hear all that, Uncle Vic? [dramatic music] Legally I’m in the clear, but you and I both know why I shot Konstantin. I did it for you, old man.
I hope now… you can rest in peace.
