THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
OK, let’s have it.
God, I love it when you talk dirty.
You know, you have five seconds to spit it out or I’m gone. Five, four, three, two, one.
It’s about the murder of Li Shin. [soft dramatic music]
Li Shin?
Brutal murder, stabbed in the back, back in November, right?
I’m well aware. But how could you possibly have any information on Li Shin’s murder? I mean, A, you’ve never even met the guy as far as I know and B, Salem PD is already on it. We know who killed Li.
No. You don’t.
[keys jangling]
It wasn’t my fault. It was Gabi’s. She’s to blame.
Excuse me, Mrs. DiMera, I was just wondering, what role did DA DiMera play in overturning your case?
Of course. How could I forget? Much credit must go to your husband. He was the one who approved the immunity deal for Ms. Trask, who then handed over the evidence needed to exonerate me. Even though DA DiMera was the one who wrongfully prosecuted me in the first place under the flimsiest of circumstantial evidence.
[clears throat] You’re not helping.
But in the end, he was big enough to admit that he was wrong, that he let his personal animosity toward me cloud his judgment. You and I are similar in that way. Sometimes we let our emotions guide our decisions. In your case, you sent me to prison out of hate, but you freed me out of love.
Love?
Not for me, obviously, for Nicole.
Nicole has nothing to do with this.
Of course she does. This is all about Nicole.
What are you talking about?
The only reason he exonerated me was because he was desperately afraid of losing his beloved wife to Eric Brady.
Why would he be afraid of that?
Because you’re still in love with Eric, and he’s the father of your baby. [dramatic music]
Hey, Holly, do you have a moment? Oh, no, no, no, nothing’s wrong. [soft dramatic music] You know how I told you earlier that I was thinking about leaving town? Yeah. Well, one of those jobs I applied for, it came through, and I’m moving. [sighs] Paris. Today. Yeah, she knows. Hey, saw your mom a little while ago. We said our goodbyes.
Gabi, what are you doing? Gabi. Get out of here. This is not the place.
Wrong. This is the perfect place.
Why would you say something like that?
She has no idea what she’s talking about.
I know exactly what I’m talking about. EJ is not Jude’s father, Eric is, and I can prove it. [dramatic music] [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
Gabi, please don’t do this.
Everyone, my sister-in-law is clearly misinformed, so we will have to table this for the time being. Thank you all for coming. We will deal with this matter privately and then reconvene at a later date to clarify the issue. Thank you.
OK. Let’s move it along, everyone.
Stop! Don’t listen to them. OK? I am telling you the truth, the God’s honest truth.
But how? How could this be? You said you have proof.
I’m getting there, but you can see how it all makes sense, can’t you? Obviously, Sloan Peterson made a mental calculation pushing you aside to become Jude’s mom. And of course, it was OK, because at least Eric would be raising his own son. But now that child, his son, has been ripped from his arms, and that is a wrong that needs to be righted immediately. [dramatic music]
Of course I’m gonna come visit you, and you’re gonna come see me. [chuckles] Right, you’re still grounded. But it’s not gonna last forever. Nothing never does.
Gabi, how could you possibly know this? You just got out of prison.
Why are you fighting this? It’s your dream come true, isn’t it?
Gabi, what the hell?
She’s lying. Damn it. This is all about revenge.
No. This is about righting a terrible wrong, like I said. And I am not lying, Nicole. I did not make this up out of thin air.
OK, then– then help me understand. Where in the world did you get the idea that Jude is Eric’s son?
My source is solid, if that’s what you’re asking.
That’s not what I’m asking. Then who is your source? How would anyone know this? I’m not about to turn my life upside-down and EJ’s life upside-down–
My husband told me.
I’m telling you right now that we already have proof of who killed Li Shin. OK, we’ve obtained proof that links the murder to a man named Gil Carter.
Yeah. I read the paper. But your evidence doesn’t matter, because this Carter guy didn’t do it. Sure he’d tell you that himself if he wasn’t, you know, dead. [tense music] You think I’m lying.
Well, you know it wouldn’t be the first time.
Then riddle me this. Do you have anything other than circumstantial evidence? Do you have any eyewitnesses against this guy Gil?
No. But circumstantial or not, OK, we have Li Shin’s blood on Gil Carter’s little black book, and we found a dried fingerprint in the blood. So it’s pretty solid.
Pretty solid, but not definitive.
All right, Bobby. If Gil didn’t kill Li, then who did?
It was Gabi’s fault. It was Gabi’s fault.
But Gabi isn’t the one who stabbed me.
Is she?
was the one that killed Li Shin–
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Gabi has been exonerated, rightly so. Man, you guys have got the wrong perp twice now. Yikes.
But you’ve got it, right?
Definitely.
You know, you sound very sure of yourself for a person who’s confined to a mental facility.
Actually, that’s, that’s par for the course around here. You should talk to Napoleon Bonaparte. He’s right next door, and he’s got a lot of interesting ideas about things.
OK, enough. You think the Salem PD has been on the wrong track all along, because?
Because I saw the person who did it? I saw the person who killed Li Shin. [tense music]
Li! Oh, thank God you’re alive. I should have known it was all a horrible nightmare. I dreamed that you’d died, but here you are. It’s a miracle.
Oh, no, it wasn’t a dream or a miracle. I’m as dead as they come, as you should very well know since you’re the one who killed me.
You’re the one? You were the one that told Gabi EJ is not Jude’s father.
I–
You what?
Are you gonna call me a liar in front of all these people, sweetheart?
No.
A little louder.
No.
So… then you’re saying it’s true?
Yes. Everything Gabi said is true. Eric is Jude’s father. [dramatic music]
[sighs] So I guess– guess I’m not gonna talk you into changing your mind.
It’s a pretty good job opportunity.
I understand that.
I know you think that I’m running away. In some ways, I probably am, but–
Hey, I did the exact same thing, as well you know. It’s time. It was the right thing to do, but at the time I chose to come back. Maybe you will do the same someday. Now, you’ve talked to your mother?
Yeah, I just– I just came from there.
How’d she take it?
Her usual understanding self.
What about Nicole?
She knows. We said our goodbyes after I told her I gave the paper my notice. [soft acoustic music] It was tough. We kept it short and sweet. And she had to take off to cover some press conference in the square.
No, you, you hate EJ, Stefan, and so do you, Gabi. You proved that in your remarks. You know what? You did this just to hurt EJ.
Look, I will admit that under different circumstances, I might get revenge on someone who’s wronged me or someone I love, but today I am telling nothing but the truth. Stefan knows that and can confirm that I’m not lying. He saw the original DNA test results in black and white. Didn’t you, Stefan?
I’m sorry, EJ. [tense music]
Damn you.
EJ… if this is true, then… I’m so sorry, so sorry.
Why are you apologizing to him? He already knew.
How could you have possibly seen the person who murdered Li Shin? He was murdered in his apartment. Unless you were there. Did you witness the murder?
This is sort of like questions. I like it. No, not exactly.
OK, OK, OK, wait a minute. If you weren’t a witness, then are you telling me that you were the perpetrator?
Jada, if I murdered someone, do you really think I’d go around blabbing about it to a woman of the law no less? Come on.
But if you didn’t witness the murder, and you didn’t do it yourself, then how could you have possibly seen who did it? [soft dramatic music]
Li, you don’t understand. I didn’t mean to kill you. It was an accident. And it was Gabi’s fault. She tricked you. She humiliated you. Otherwise–
Otherwise what? She wasn’t the one who stabbed me, was she? That was all you.
Stop saying that.
It’s true.
Only to you and me. Nobody else knows. And what happened will stay between us forever.
What do you mean EJ knew?
It’s simple. Stefan found the DNA results for little Jude in the living room safe. And EJ was the one who put them there.
EJ… is this true? You knew?
OK. So you and Nicole said your goodbyes.
Yeah.
What about Jude?
I already had a painful goodbye with Jude. I don’t want to put either one of us through that again, especially after last–
Especially after what?
I had a dream last night, that Jude was my son, mine and Nicole’s. [soft acoustic music]
No, no, no, no, no. Stefan– Stefan is lying. They both are. Gabi blames me for sending her to prison. This is her way of getting back at me.
But you just freed her.
Oh, don’t worry, Rafe, I still hate him, but I am telling the truth.
No, no, this is impossible. We did a DNA test.
You did a boatload of DNA tests, but Sloan kept switching out the results, didn’t she?
She had nothing to do with it this time. Look, EJ brought the test home, and he said that they showed the–
EJ said. Think about that. And while you’re at it, think about all the other things that don’t quite add up. How do you think Stefan got EJ to overturn my conviction? And while you’re at it, ask yourself, why EJ gave Melinda an immunity deal after she stole your child? [dramatic music] Does that seem like the fatherly thing to do? Does that seem like the DiMera thing to do?
Gabi, please.
EJ didn’t have a choice, that’s why. His walls came crumbling down. Melinda knows the truth, and she used it to get her immunity. And when Stefan saw the DNA reports, he knew he could use that info too. He threatened to expose EJ and tell you everything if I didn’t go free.
You want proof? Me standing here is all the proof you need.
You ungrateful, vindictive bitch.
[chuckles] [tense music]
After everything I did for you.
You expected gratitude, you bastard? You sent me to prison for something I didn’t do.
Lord knows, after everything you did in your miserable life, you deserve ten times the sentence you got.
You refused to help me even when Stefan begged you.
What do you have to say to me? Say something! Not even a sorry? You knew. You knew, you bastard!
Hey. You’re not going anywhere. [dramatic music]
When we first took the DNA test, it showed that EJ was the father of Nicole’s baby… [soft acoustic music] And it was a big let down.
Well, what does it say?
Eric, it says that you’re not a match.
I knew it. I knew it. The child is mine. Oh, darling. It’s a miracle, nothing less.
Just know, when I went to bed last night, I knew I was leaving today, and maybe that’s why I had the dream.
Of you and Nicole sharing a child.
Dad, if I would have been the father of this child, it would have changed my entire life and Nicole’s. Needless to say, it’s–
Yeah.
You know what? I should go get my bags and get going, Dad.
So soon? Wait a minute. Hey, hey. Tell you what. Let me go talk to Kate, get her to cover. I’ll drive you to the airport, OK?
I’m sorry, but Brady already offered to give me a lift.
Oh. OK. I guess– I guess I was just trying to buy some more time with you, that’s all.
I promise I’ll be back.
You better be. OK? Now, you listen to me, you take care of yourself, OK? Good care of yourself. You be well.
You too.
I love you, son.
I love you
A statement about what?
Well, everything I just heard tells me that you perpetrated a fraud. At the very least, you were an accessory after the fact.
Oh, please. I tell you what, if you want to press charges, take it up with the DA’s office.
You’re talking in riddles, Bobby. I told you I don’t have any time for your games today.
It’s not a game. I didn’t see the actual murder in front of me, but I saw the killer. [dramatic music]
After the murder.
Everett and I had moved to Salem a couple of days prior. Chad, very, very, very upset because he found out that Everett was staying in Salem, so then Everett got very upset. So I had to take over for a while. Anyway, and right then, I stumble across my first big story in Salem, only it never gets published because Everett can’t remember it. But I do. I remember it vividly. You tend to remember the times you come face to face with a killer.
OK. Who is it?
It served Gabi right that she spent all those months in prison and got that chicken leg of hers broken, but now she gets sprung over this Gil Carter business when he didn’t even kill you. That’s just not right.
How is it not right? Gabi didn’t kill me either.
You know who else is to blame? Melinda Trask. And boy did it make my skin crawl having to kiss up to those two horrible women just so they wouldn’t suspect me.
That’s hard work covering your tracks.
Oh, Li, honey, why can’t we just go back in time? Our first date was so magical. You remember, don’t you?
Oh, I remember. We talked about tigers and true crime, and biscuits of the non-hallucinogenic variety.
It was heaven. Why didn’t you call me back?
Because I thought you were crazy.
I am not crazy!
Easy, easy. OK? No point killing me when I’m already dead.
I don’t want you to be dead. I just want to be close to you forever and ever. That’s why I’m in this apartment, so I can be right here where you lived and died.
So sentimental. I’m tearing up.
I’m sorry. I had to do it. I miss you, Li. And I will have revenge on everyone who is to blame for your tragic loss. That’s a promise.
What exactly are you planning to do?
I’m going to make them all pay for what happened to you. And when you’ve finally been avenged, the two of us can live happily ever after. I’ll be back later. [dramatic music] We’ll, cuddle on the couch and watch an episode of “Dateline.” Doesn’t that sound nice?
Who did you see? Come on. Let’s have the name.
I told you. I just moved here. I didn’t know anyone’s name.
Would you recognize their face? Can you describe them? Was it a male, female, Black, White, short, tall?
I’m just so tired right now. Oh, my gosh. Oh.
Bobby, it’s a.m.
It’s just– it’s exhausting in this place.
You know, I knew it, I knew it. I knew that you were just stringing me along. Right? Just so I can come back and see you.
Not technically stringing you along if I’ve actually got the goods.
How do I know that you even do? How do I know that any of this is even true?
Because you’re smart, because you are intuitive. You’ve got a keen sense of when justice has actually been served. [yawns] I’ll see you tomorrow, Detective Hunter. We’ll talk more about it then.
Bobby.
[snoring]
Bobby! [sighs]
Nicole, wait.
You knew. You knew that my baby was Eric’s son, and yet you let us mourn his death and spread his ashes. How could you?
I did not know at first, not for months and months.
Why should I believe you?
Because I love you.
Like hell you do. EJ, you have to hate someone to do something like this to them.
No, no. It’s love. It always will be love. Can I at least explain?
[sighs] [soft dramatic music] It was Leo who finally told me that baby was yours and mine. I– I couldn’t believe it at first. I was sure he was lying, so I confronted Sloan, and she told me that, yes, Jude was your baby… But that the father was actually Eric.
I didn’t believe her at first, so I had another DNA test done. Only then could I be sure.
And yet, you still kept it quiet.
I was devastated. I already lost that boy once. Losing him a second time was too much to bear. And once it all sank in– [exhales sharply] Must I spell it out?
Don’t you think you owe me that?
You and another man raising a child… A stab in the heart for someone who has given his whole heart to you. And not just any other man, Nicole. Eric, Eric. I knew how much he wanted to have a child with you, and that you still had feelings for him. I mean, my God, I saw you in here kissing him when he brought you home that night. So I made a choice, a terrible choice. But what could I do, huh? You mean everything to me, Nicole. And I was so afraid of losing you.
Well, now you have. [crying]
OK. You two, I need you both to tell me everything that you know, starting from the beginning.
We will gladly come down to the station to make a statement, but right now, I need to speak to my wife alone.
We’ll come in tomorrow. Promise.
OK. You do that.
What the hell? How could you do this?
Oh.
Please, Nicole. Please don’t go. We need to talk.
I don’t have anything left to say, EJ.
Oh, come on. We’ve weathered worse storms than this.
That’s what you think this is? A storm? Oh, my God, EJ. This is a nightmare, one of your doing.
But I love you.
You love me? Those are empty words, EJ, and ones I don’t want to hear ever again.
Where are you going?
None of your business, not anymore. Oh, God.
[crying]
Shut up. Shut up, Everett. I’m in charge now, damn it.
[crying] I didn’t mean to do it, Li. I didn’t mean to do it. I swear. [crying] [soft dramatic music]
What the hell?
[crying]
Hey.
Hey.
How was the press conference?
Well, it was even more eventful than expected. I’ll fill you in later.
OK.
How was your visit with your ex? Hmm? He filled you in on the so-called murder?
Well, the so-called murder was Li Shin’s.
What?
Yeah.
I thought we already know who murdered Li Shin.
Except Bobby said that Gil Carter didn’t do it.
Ah, in the face of the evidence. OK. Who does he say did it?
He wouldn’t tell me. OK. He did say though that he saw the killer shortly after they committed the crime.
Wow. You really don’t think that there’s anything to this, do you?
I don’t know. He wants me to come back to Bayview and discuss it further.
OK. Well, that sounds like a trick. I mean, another trick.
Maybe or maybe this time he’s ready to name some names.
Uh-huh.
Come on. Let’s go inside, and you can tell me what happened at the press conference.
OK.
Eric, what’s going on?
Jude.
What about Jude?
Your son, he didn’t die. Jude is your son.
What? What? Oh. What? Oh, yeah. I know. I know. I know. – Flight service to New York’s JFK Airport with connection to Paris is now boarding. [phone ringing]
Your son and his wife are going to pay for this, Father. [ominous music] They’ll pay dearly.
[screams] [dramatic music]
Damn it, Gabi. I promised EJ I would keep his secret, and you agreed. We had an understanding.
I know.
Then why did you blow it all to hell? [soft dramatic music] [phone ringing] – We are now boarding group flight .
Eric. Hey.
Nicole.
I tried calling you.
I know. And what are you doing here?
I had to come. I had to stop you from getting on that plane.
I don’t understand. [soft acoustic music]
He’s yours, Eric. You are Jude’s father.
