The texts still should be going through. And they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Maybe she\u2019s out of range.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [Sighs] No. No, no, not Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: [Sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Portia: No.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I\u2019m sorry to bother you at work, but we have some questions about an ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: What kind of questions?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Has something happened to Trina?<\/p>\n<p>[Dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: This can\u2019t be the end of us.

But first, we got to get me out of this room.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yeah, without my escort discovering you.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Any ideas?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[Distant telephone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Laura.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Are you here to check on Anna?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: How\u2019s she doing?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: She made it out of surgery. They just moved her to ICU.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I-I\u2019ll take any\u2013- any good news where I can get it.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: So I take it that means that you don\u2019t have any leads on Spencer?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Or Victor. But don\u2019t worry about it, because when I find him, he\u2019s going to pay more than he\u2019s ever paid before.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Why do I feel like I\u2019m about to get ganged up on?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Ganged up on is a little extreme.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Willow has something she needs to tell you. That\u2019s all.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I know this is weird.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: A little bit.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I just need you to really listen, all right?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay. I always listen to you. What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I want to get married, Michael.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay, good.

Welcome back.<\/p>\n<p>[Dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: You\u2013you want to get married today?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Tomorrow at the latest.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Makes sense, now that the transplant has been postponed.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: And who knows for how long, since Liesl is still missing?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I don\u2019t want to wait. [Chuckles] I can\u2019t wait. Time is running out, Michael. I want to marry you as soon as possible so we can have as long as possible together as husband and wife.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Oh, Willow&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Just, please consider it. [Chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Michael: There\u2019s nothing to consider.

And may I say you look divine?<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: No, you may not.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Hmm. I do appreciate you joining me on such short notice. Uh, breakfast?<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: Looks more like a funeral. All we need now is a body.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: How is she?<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: [Sighs] Still at risk for post-op complications like infection, but you\u2019re lucky. You\u2019re on track to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Thank you. Thank you so&#8211; hey, look, you know, um, I\u2019m\u2013 I\u2019m really grateful. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: You\u2019re so welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Thank you. [Sniffles]<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: I\u2019ll be back to check on you, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[Monitor beeping]<\/p>\n<p>Anna: [Sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I don\u2019t think luck had anything to do with it. I think god is an Anna Devane fan.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: [Laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I thought I\u2019d lost you.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I think you saved my life, didn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I\u2019m the reason you got shot in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Don\u2019t do that to yourself. Don\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Victor wanted to hurt me. He was willing to take you away from all of us to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Well, he didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Oh, thank god he didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Right before I blacked out, I saw something.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: What?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: [Sniffles, cries] I saw all the faces of all the people I love. [Sniffles] I saw Robin and Emma and Noah and you. I-I think it\u2019s what helped me fight, because\u2026 [Whimpering] I\u2019m not ready to leave any of you just yet. [Breathes shakily, exhales deeply] I think you\u2019re stuck with me.<\/p>\n<p>[Both crying and chuckling]<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I\u2019ll hold you to that.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Yeah, you should.<\/p>\n<p>[Soft music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: You need to tell me what\u2019s going on right now.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Can we go to your office?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Fine.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: You know, if this is about Trina, I need to come, too.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [Sighs] Curtis should be there, too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: Hey. Uh, any word on Anna?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: She\u2019s out of surgery. She made it.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Well, that\u2019s a relief. Unfortunately, it sounds like Victor\u2019s list of victims is growing.<\/p>\n<p>[Dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Trina: There\u2019s no reason for the guard to latch the door when you\u2019re not here, right? It\u2019ll work.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yeah, it better.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: We can do this. You know how I know?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: How?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Because we make a good team. I will be the definition of stealth, while&#8211; while you create the perfect diversion.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Okay, listen to me. My uncle cannot catch you.<\/p>\n<p>[Footsteps approaching]<\/p>\n<p>Trina: He won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Someone\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: No turning back now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: You wanted privacy, so here we are. Now, please tell me what\u2019s going on before I completely lose my mind.<\/p>\n<p>[Door closes]<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Jordan, what happened to Trina?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: We don\u2019t know for sure. But we have reason to believe she\u2019s with Spencer Cassadine\u2026 and his great-uncle Victor.<\/p>\n<p>[Dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Oh, it\u2019s about time. I am starving. Hey, are we going or what?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anna: What\u2019s happening?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I don\u2019t think we should talk about that.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I want to talk about him.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: You should be resting.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I\u2019m\u2013- I\u2019m resting. I\u2019m in a bed. Tell me.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Okay. What\u2019s the last thing you remember?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I don\u2019t know. [Inhales deeply] It\u2019s a bit of a blur. I know you gave necklace\u2013 a necklace to Victor, didn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: He was going to hurt you. I was out of options.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: It\u2019s okay. I&#8211; shh. I would have done the same thing. Did Lucy get out okay? Is she\u2013-<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Good.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: In fact, I think she made a\u2026 a grand entrance at the Nurses\u2019 Ball.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: [Laughs] Of course she did. Your father\u2026 where is he? Do we know?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Yeah. And, no. He escaped on the \u201cHaunted Star.\u201d So far, the location of the boat is a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: How is that possible?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I don\u2019t know. But it is. And you should know that the necklace is not the only thing he escaped with.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Victor: I had hoped we could play nice, but here you are, greeting me with threats. And if you are thinking about causing any trouble, you should know I have guards all over this ship ready to descend at a moment\u2019s notice. Welcome, my boy.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: And then there were three.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What is this?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: No, you mean who is this. I think you\u2019ve already met Dr. Liesl Obrecht.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Where\u2019s my brother? You said he\u2019d be here.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: Make that four.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You have my word. You\u2019ll see him after breakfast. Now, please, both of you, come, sit. [Sighs contentedly] There, isn\u2019t this nice? Well, before we begin, let\u2019s raise a glass to new beginnings.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Exactly how long do you think that you can string us along for?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I beg your pardon?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You promised me answers, Uncle Victor, and I intend to collect.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: So Trina is also one of Victor\u2019s hostages?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: It\u2019s looking like that, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: How much damage can one man do in one night?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Look, I-I know you guys are probably just as tired of hearing it as I am of saying it, but we are doing everything we can to find them.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: And I know that. [Sighs] And I appreciate it. I really do. It\u2019s just that this is exactly what I was afraid of when Victor came back to Port Charles. You know? I mean\u2026 I tried to warn Spencer more than once. I tried to protect him.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: You still protect him. We\u2019re going to find him and bring him home.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: That is the plan.<\/p>\n<p>[Cell phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Oh, dear. I-I have to take this. Excuse me. Mayor Collins?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: How\u2019s Michael and Willow?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: I don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t talked to him. I haven\u2019t sat down since this whole thing started.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I bet.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Have you talked to them?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: No.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Willow really needs that, uh, bone marrow transplant.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: There\u2019s got to be a way we find Victor and bring Liesl home.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Well, we still have the guy who tried to kill Lucy in custody, but he\u2019s not talking to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Not to the cops. But maybe he\u2019ll talk to me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brook Lynn: We can totally do today, but if you guys are willing to wait until tomorrow, things might be a little less frantic.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: We\u2019re good with tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Okay. Awesome. Everything is going to come together\u2013I just know it.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: It\u2019ll be the best wedding this town has ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Uh, duh. We\u2019re the Quartermaines.<\/p>\n<p>[Laughter, baby fussing]<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Do you, uh\u2013 do you think you can put Amelia down for a nap, please?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yes. Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Come here, Miss Amelia. It is snooze time. Oh, come here, sweetheart.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Okay. Be honest.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: I am, always.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Is this really what you want?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: [Chuckles] Willow, I\u2013 I want to be your husband. Of course this is what I want. What, did you think I was going to fight you on this?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I don\u2019t know. I guess\u2026 I was just afraid you\u2019d think I was giving up.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Are you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: With Liesl MIA right now, I know- I know things are scary. So\u2026 I wouldn\u2019t blame you if you felt, you know\u2026 frustrated or\u2013or\u2013or hopeless.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Frustrated, yes, and angry and\u2026 afraid. But I have not given up hope. I am praying with every fiber of my being that Liesl is found, and soon.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah. And there\u2019s every reason to believe that she will be, right? I mean, she hasn\u2019t even missing for a full day.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Just feels like the days count more than they used to.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah. Yeah, they do.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: And so\u2026 we need to be realistic. Dr. Randolph told us I don\u2019t have much time left. And I don\u2019t want to gamble with what could be my final days. I know. I hate the words as much as you do. But ignoring them doesn\u2019t do us any good. If this is the end, I want it to be filled with as much joy and love as possible. [Chuckles] And so\u2026 just like I insisted on pushing back the wedding until after the transplant, now I want to get married right away. [Sighs] Am I driving you crazy?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: The good kind of crazy. Let\u2019s do it.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[Tender music]<\/p>\n<p>Michael: But we, um\u2026 we don\u2019t know what the future holds. And our time together may\u2026 be limited. But\u2026 our wedding\u2026 is an act of faith\u2026 that we are going to have many, many, many more years together with a family that our love created, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I like the sound of that.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah, so do I.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: Dad.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: What?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: What do you mean what? I can\u2019t let you talk to the perp. Besides, you already took a crack at him.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re implying.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Really?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: You don\u2019t think that I know that you\u2019re the reason that he\u2019s got Diane as his attorney? I mean, it\u2019s the only person he\u2019s spoken to. I mean, the\u2013the only lead we have is because of you.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: The \u201cHaunted Star\u201d is untraceable. We got to find a different angle.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: I know, and we will. I got people working on it. You got feelers out there, too. We will find them.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: What if it\u2019s not in time?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: She\u2019s not going to quit. I don\u2019t think you should either.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I don\u2019t want to be in this position again.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: And what position is that?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Where someone that I love\u2026 is dying and I can\u2019t do a damn thing about it.<\/p>\n<p>[Dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: No. No, no, no. This\u2026 [Grunts awkwardly] This can\u2019t be happening. No, no, no, this can\u2019t be happening.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: When was the last time you saw or spoke to Trina?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [Sobs]<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Portia.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: It\u2013it was at the Nurses\u2019 Ball. And I went to her dorm afterwards\u2026 but she never showed up.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: What about you?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Same. Jordan, will you tell us what\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: We have evidence that Victor Cassadine abducted Liesl Obrecht along with Esme Prince\u2019s baby.<\/p>\n<p>Portia:Oh, my god.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: We also believe Spencer Cassadine is with them as well. Now, given Trina was last seen with Spencer, who we believe was taken by his great-uncle&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Your theory is that somehow Trina got caught up in it.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Okay, so what\u2019s your department doing about it?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Well, we have a lead, but, unfortunately, following it won\u2019t be easy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anna: Your father has hostages? Who?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Nothing is certain, but the police suspect he has Spencer and baby Ace.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Oh, god, no.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: As well as Liesl Obrecht.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Liesl? What does he want with them?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I don\u2019t know. Maybe they have value as hostages. Maybe it\u2019s part of his master plan. Or maybe it\u2019s both.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: You keep talking about new beginnings, but you still haven\u2019t told us where we\u2019re going or why. And from the way that she\u2019s glaring at you, I\u2019m betting that Dr. Obrecht isn\u2019t exactly here because she wants to be.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I know, this whole situation must seem very disconcerting to both of you. But, Spencer, you\u2019ve always shown willingness to protect our family at any cost. I\u2019m counting on you and your brother to ensure the future prosperity of the Cassadines.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: As disturbing as that explanation was, I suppose I can understand you kidnapping your own kin. But what is my purpose? I certainly do not care about the Cassadine legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh-ho-ho. Oh, this goes much further than a family legacy. When my plan comes to fruition, we\u2019ll be ushering in a new era for humanity.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer&#8217;s, there was not a damn thing I could do about it, no lead I could take. This awful\u2026 [Sighs] disease was just happening to us.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Yeah, same thing with Stone.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: All I could do is just stand by there and just\u2026 watch him slip away. And no matter how\u2013how ugly it is with me and Michael, I don\u2019t wish that on anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: You\u2019re wrong. The way I heard it, you didn\u2019t just stand there and do nothing. You cared for Mike. You loved him. You made sure his last months, weeks, and days on this earth were good ones.<\/p>\n<p>[Dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Dante: You did the same thing with Stone.\u00a0 Could you save them? No. No one could. But you did them both a\u2026 a world of good.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Thanks for saying that.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: It\u2019s just the truth. You could do the same thing for Michael and Willow.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I would love to, but Michael won\u2019t let me.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: I wouldn\u2019t be so sure about that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Is everything good with Amelia?<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: She went down without so much as a whimper.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Clearly, we have the magic touch. So what do we have to do to get this wedding off the ground?<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Put us to work.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Most everything is planned already, but we do need to contact the vendors and tell them we\u2019re moving up the date.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: On it. Send me the list.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Okay, I will. [Chuckles] Love you.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: And I\u2019ll talk to you soon, okay?<\/p>\n<p>[Soft music]<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Bye.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Bye, Sasha.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: I\u2019ll, uh\u2013I\u2019ll walk you out. [Sighs] Here\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Okay. So notifying the vendors, done. What else?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Would you mind?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Checking on Michael?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I know this is hard on him. Help him if you can.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yeah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: We believe Victor left Port Charles on the \u201cHaunted Star.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Doesn\u2019t that ship have a GPS tracker?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: It did, but we found it tied to a buoy in the harbor.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [Sighs] So they could be anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: The coast guard is working to locate them via satellite, but so far, no luck.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: This is a living nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: We are utilizing all resources, Portia. I promise. The goal is to bring Trina, Spencer, and whomever else is on that boat home safely.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Jordan, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I\u2019ll obviously be in touch.<\/p>\n<p>[Somber music]<\/p>\n<p>[Door opens, closes]<\/p>\n<p>Portia: My baby girl. She must be so scared right now. [Cries]<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: It\u2019s okay. Okay? I got you. It\u2019ll be okay.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: It will be okay.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [Cries]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anna: Oh. [Winces] Ow. Okay, look\u2026 I don\u2019t think your father is motivated by money, right? So it\u2019s not a ransom. No?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: No. He could be using Liesl, Spencer, and the baby as human shields.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Um, yeah, I mean\u2026 I imagine that he sees Spencer as practically the only family he has left. But Liesl, I\u2026 does he need something from her? Because, remember, we don\u2019t know what the&#8211; what the code on the Ice Princess necklace means. We don\u2019t know if it leads somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Well, regardless, Victor has everything he needs to put his plan in motion, and he can strike at any minute.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Oh, god. How do we or\u2013or anybody&#8211; how do we stop him?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Liesl: Once again, you fall prey to your bloated sense of self-importance.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I\u2019m merely stating a fact. Someone has to do what needs to be done.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: And that is?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yeah, when you say \u201cnew era,\u201d what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: When I was younger, I was horrified by the damage we were doing to our planet.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Oh, we?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yes, we, us, people, humanity, our greed and short-sightedness, carelessly consuming the very resources we needed to survive. I mean, left unchecked, there will be nothing left for future generations. Now, once upon a time, my brother, Mikkos, shared these views. So, together, we developed a technology to reverse mankind\u2019s mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: The device you use to control the climate. Do remind us how that turned out.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yes, all right, I admit, uh\u2026 allying with Mikkos was a mistake. He soon showed himself to be a mere opportunist using our innovation for extortion. His greed was not only disgusting. It was our undoing.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: His greed, along with Luke and Laura.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yes, well, I won\u2019t make the same mistake twice. There are other ways of accomplishing what I set out to do all those years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: How?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Mikkos and I developed another set of tools to save the world, tools that we could fall back on if our first plan was a failure.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: Now, there\u2019s an understatement.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: For security reasons, we placed these tools in bunkers, the locations of which only Mikkos knew. He engraved a code on the Ice Princess, which, when deciphered, would give the coordinates of those locations.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: The Ice Princess, as in the diamond?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: And I assume that we\u2019re headed to one of those bunkers.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: Is that why you killed Luke Spencer? So you could get your hands on that diamond?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. And there\u2019s plenty of people out there who agree with me. While I was working on my plan, I gathered a great number of&#8211; of true believers, willing to give their life for the cause.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: Before this is over, how many unwilling people are going to perish?<\/p>\n<p>[Dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Victor: Humanity has all but ensured its own annihilation. The only way to reverse the damage is to take extreme measures and take them now.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Define \u201cextreme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Victor: 40 years after Mikkos\u2019 folly, do you realize the population of the planet has almost doubled? Eight billion people. Think of the strain on our resources and space. There\u2019s no way it can be sustained. But it can be fixed.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: \u201cFixed\u201d? How?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: A pathogen stored in one of my brother\u2019s bunkers. Once released, it will reduce the population to manageable levels.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: Your plan is to release an unknown pathogen into the world?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: \u201cUnknown\u201d? No, no, Mikkos and I cultivated it to very specific specifications.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: Four decades ago. Who knows how that pathogen has morphed in that time?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: The survivors will usher in a new age of man.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: So to hell with all the innocent people who will die, so long as your family remains intact. Who appointed you judge, jury, and executioner?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I know, I know. It seems heartless. But to bring about true change involves sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Sacrifice from everybody else!<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Someone has to have the courage to make the hard choices!<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: There\u2019s no way. I\u2019m not going to let you get away with this.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh, I\u2019ve been working towards this all my life. No one is going to stop me now. Not even you.<\/p>\n<p>[Dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[Device beeps, whirs]<\/p>\n<p>[Indistinct chatter over radio]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: Victor has Trina on some ship for god knows what reason, and we have no idea where they are. What if Trina is hurt, or she&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: We will find her.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Yeah, but how? My daughter needs protecting, and I\u2019m not there to protect her. What am I supposed to do?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I have seen how Trina handles herself in threatening situations, okay? She\u2019s tough. She\u2019s levelheaded. If she\u2019s with Victor and Spencer, she\u2019s finding a way out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [Shudders] You really think so?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I know so.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Laura: Jordan, Dante just told me that Trina may also be one of Victor\u2019s hostages?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: It\u2019s a theory for now, but it\u2019s looking more and more likely. I just broke the news to Portia and Curtis.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: She must be going out of her mind.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Yeah, not the most fun conversation I\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: We have got to find those kids and bring them back home. My office is at your disposal. Don\u2019t hesitate to ask for anything.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Thank you. You know, actually, there is something you can do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: Last time I checked, Michael didn\u2019t, you know, want anything to do with me, unless you&#8211; you know something different.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: I think in hard times, people\u2019s perspectives change, and you reevaluate what\u2019s important in your life. And I just think Michael&#8217;s feelings will change as this situation evolves.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: You know, when\u2013when Willow got leukemia, there was a moment that Michael and I&#8211; I thought we were going to fix things. But last time I talked to him, it got heated. And he just doesn\u2019t want to see me at all.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Yeah, but\u2013-<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I know that.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Okay, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but maybe next week, or who knows, right? If one day he wakes up and finds himself needing his father, it\u2019s not like you\u2019re going to turn away, right?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: No matter how angry I am with Michael, if he reached out, I\u2019d be there.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Right. So do that. You\u2019re looking for something to do anyway. Do that.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: [Sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Anyway, some of us got to work. I got to go.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: [Grunts] Thanks for the talk.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Anytime.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: [Sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Hey. Guess you caught me having a moment.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Remember what I said about those? You\u2019re allowed to have as many as you need.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah, well, good, because they seem to be happening a lot more lately.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Just not in front of Willow.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: No, no, not in front of Willow. She has enough on her plate. I don\u2019t need to add to it.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Can I say something? If you think I\u2019m overstepping&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Michael:\u00a0 Yeah, I\u2019ll tell you. Go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Maybe it\u2019s time that you and Willow shared a plate\u2026 you know? [Sighs] Shared your feelings about what\u2019s really going on, because the truth is, Michael, this is happening to both of you. Just know that I love you, okay? I\u2019m here for whatever you need.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah, thanks. I love you, too.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Even though I annoy the heck out of you sometimes?<\/p>\n<p>[Chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[Cell phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>Michael: I\u2019m being summoned.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Let me go.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: You sure?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yeah. I miss the days of rocking Bailey back to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>[Ringing continues]<\/p>\n<p>Michael: [Sighs] Look, now\u2019s not a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: It\u2019ll be quick. You\u2013you don\u2019t even have to respond. Just let me say my piece.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: I just need a minute, Michael.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: [Sighs] Okay. Go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I just want you to know that I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about you and Willow, and I know this must be tearing you up inside. And, I know how\u2013 you know, how that feels. Having to be strong for everyone, and deep down inside, all you want to do is curl up in a ball. I know you don\u2019t want to take me up on this, but I just want you to know that if you ever need me, in any way, I\u2019m here for you. All you gotta do is say the word.\u00a0 Michael, you still there?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah, I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: You wanna talk?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Uh, no, I gotta \u2014 I gotta go.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: But, uh\u2026 I hear you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: I know one thing\u2019s certain, that <span class=\"auto-style1\">we<\/span> won\u2019t be doing anything. <span class=\"auto-style1\">We<\/span> will stay in bed, and <span class=\"auto-style1\">we<\/span> will recover.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Okay. I\u2013 I mean, just because I\u2019m in this bed, it doesn\u2019t render me useless, you know.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Of course you\u2019re not useless. I need you. If I\u2019m going to bring Victor down, then I need your health, desperately. But I\u2019m not going to jeopardize your health to do it. Not much scares me, you know. But when I watched you\u2026 and then I held you in my arms, and I watched you fade away\u2026 That terrified me. I don\u2019t watch to be without you.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: You won\u2019t be.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: So you promise me you won\u2019t do anything to put yourself at risk?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Okay. I promise.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: I know you\u2019ve been working to take down Victor ever since he returned to Port Charles. You made allusions in the past, and Robert and Felicia confirmed it yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: I have a long history with the Cassadines. They have terrorized me and my family countless times, countless ways. No more.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I\u2019m not blaming you. But, you\u2019ve kept me out of the loop for way too long. I want in. Our best chance at nailing Victor is by working together, all of us.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: My mind keeps going to all the scariest places.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Honey, you have to try not let it.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Curtis, we both know the Cassadines \u2014 how vindictive and evil and lethal they are.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Jordan has the entire PCPD on their tail.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [ Sighs ] What if they\u2019re not in time?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Trina is coming home, Portia. Even if I have to bring her home myself.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[ Device beeps, whirs ]<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Come on, Spencer. Where is the diversion?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Victor: Come on, Spencer. Think about it. This is the only way you and your brother will have a world to grow up in.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Assuming we don\u2019t fall victim to the pathogen\u2019s effects.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, that is where the lovely Dr. Obrecht comes in. You see, her expertise will ensure that my heirs are properly inoculated.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: Thus ensuring your precious legacy. If you think I\u2019m going to help you, Victor, you\u2019ve truly lost your [ speaks German ].<\/p>\n<p>Victor: [ Chuckles] Oh, I do love it when you talk German. But, uh, if you don\u2019t comply with my wishes\u2026 I promise you, the consequences will be dire.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: [ Screams ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You can say that again.<\/p>\n<p>Liesl: [ Gasping for breath ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>On the next &#8220;General Hospital&#8221; &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn (on phone): I have a critical mission for you, and you have to accept it.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory (to Chase): Well, that&#8217;s good news, right?<\/p>\n<p>Sam (to Alexis): Why can&#8217;t you just let this go?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis (to Jordan): Believe me, he will not see me coming.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: The consequences will be dire.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Now what?<\/p>\n<p>Portia (on phone): He-help is on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: No Obrecht, no plan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/18\/general-hospital-transcripts\/\">Back to the GH Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tvmegasite.net\/day\/transcripts.shtml\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6113\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ghanim.gif\" alt=\"GH cast animated GIF\" width=\"136\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Hospital Transcript &nbsp; Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne Portia: I can\u2019t reach my daughter, Curtis.
