Outside of V's Apartment:
Jax:V, what's wrong?
V:What's wrong! Why did you sneak up on me like that. You scared me to 
death.
Jax:V, I didn't sneak up on you. I just saw you standing here and came 
up to you.
V:What do you want, Jax? I thought we said all we had to say to each 
other.
Jax:V, I'm in big trouble. I needed someone to talk to and I immediately 
thought of you.
V:What's wrong.
Jax:Someone cleaned out the J&J Jacks of Alaska's Swiss and Cayman 
Island bank accounts. 
V:What! That's impossible. Come in, Jax, and tell me what happened.(they 
enter her apartment)
Jax(takes a seat)I really don't know how it happened. It was all done by 
computer. There's no way for me to even trace it or prove who was behind 
it. Not that I need to. I know this was Corinthos' work. 
V:Jax, you can possibly know that for sure.
Jax:Oh, I know it's Corinthos. He swore he'd pay me back for what I did 
to him.
V:Jax, are you totally wiped out?
Jax:No, I can sell some property to make myself solvent for awhile, but 
it's imperative that I succeed at taking over Deception or I could be 
completely wiped out.
V:Jax, I don't know if you'll be able to. In a couple of days Katherine 
Bell is having that big party at the Outback to debut the commericial 
for her new campaign featuring Mr. Corinthos and Brenda and from what I 
heard it's a winner. If it's a success, it'll put Deception back on top 
and make it impenetrable to any of your takeover attempts.

The Outback:
Carla(enters and goes to sit at the bar)Are you Brian?
Brian(the bartender)Yes, I am. What can I get for you.
Carla:A scotch on the rocks and some information.
Brian:What do you want to know.
Carla:Are those the video screens where Katherine Bell's commericial is 
going to play ata that big party she's having her in a couple of 
nights.(she points on three giant screens lining the walls.)
Brian:(sets a drink in front of her)Yes, it is.
Carla:And how are they going to get the commericial to play 
simultaneously one all three screens at the same time. Will they be 
using three different tapes?
Brian:No, the three screens are hooked up to one vcr so they'll only 
need to use one video tape, just pop it into the machine and Voila.
Carla:As simple as popping a rented video into your vcr at home.
Brian:Exactly.
Carla:And whose job is it going to be to insert the video into the 
machine.
Brian:That'll be my job.
Carla:And how much will it take to get you to switch tapes and play the 
one I give you, instead.
Brian:Excuse me.
Carla:You heard me. How much?
Brian:I'm not going to help you sabotage Katherine's showing. Not for 
any price. And if you don't leave, right now, I'm going to tell Mac 
about this conversation.(he walks away)
Jax(whose been standing behind Carla long enough to hear her exchange 
with Brian after leaving V's apartment)I think we should talk, Miss 
Solieto. I couldn't help over-hearing your conversation.
Carla(turns to face him and wrinkles her nose up in distaste as if she's 
smelled something bad)Mr. Jacks, didn't your mama ever tell you it's 
rude to listen to other peoples conversations.
Jax:We want the same thing, Miss Solieto. That's to sabotage Katherine 
Bell's party for Deception. So it makes perfect sense that we work 
together. What do you say?

Somewhere in the Outback:
Anna(opens the door to Sean and Tiffany)Sean. Tiff. What are you doing 
here.(they exchange hugs)
Sean(and Tiffany enter)Frisco's been in touch with me. He's tracked down 
another member of the Nanny Network.
Anna:Let's go into the study. Robert's there. That way you can tell us 
both ata the same time.(they go into the study where Robert's working at 
a computer)
Robert:Sean. Tiffany. Have you got news.
Anna:Frisco's located another member of the Nanny Network.
Sean:He's in Rio. His name is Claude Moreau. He's a diplomat with the 
French Embassy.
Anna:Another of Nanny McTavishes former charges?
Sean:Yes, Faison and McTavish were quite a team, weren't they? They 
managed to use mind control on all of McTavishes charges with the 
exception of Holly and programmed them to seek out jobs in goverment 
agencies all over the world. 
Tiffany:When we found out that Nanny McTavish was Faison's mother we all 
were so shocked. How could someone so sweet be the mother of that 
monster.
Sean:You have to watch out for the sweet ones, Tiff. They can be even 
bigger monsters than the monsters.
Anna:I just adored Nanny McTavish when I was a child and I thought she 
felt the same way about me. But all alone she was just helping Faison 
destroy my family and brainwash me into becoming one of Faison's 
mindless puppets.
Sean:It was the perfect set-up. Who'd ever suspect that the kindly 
family nanny was really a DVX operative brainwashing the children in her 
care with the help of her son the hypnotist.
Robert:You dn't know how much I wish that miserable old biddy were still 
alive. I'd love just five minutes alone with her.
Anna:Well, you can't, Robert. She died protecting Holly. Of all her 
charges, Holly was apparently the only one she truly cared about. She 
was the only one Nanny McTavish wouldn't let Faison brainwash. So I 
guess she wasn't all bad. I just can't help wishing it had been me 
instead of Holly that she's protected from Faison.
Robert:Look on the bright side, luv. If Faison and McTavish hadn't done 
what they did to you, you wouldn't have met me, the love of your life.
Anna(rolls her eyes and turns to Sean)How long do you think we'll be 
able to continue to track down members of the Nanny Network and have 
them deprogrammed before Faison realizes Robert and I are still alive 
and retaliates?
Sean:I'm not sure, but we should prepare ourselves for it happening 
pretty soon and be ready for whatever Faison throws at us.
Robert:So, I guess this means Anner and I will be heading down to Rio.
Sean:You and Anna should leave, today, old buddy. We all shouldn't 
arrive at the Hotel Internationale at the same time. Tiffany, Frisco and 
I will join you guys there in a few days.

Sonny and Lois' Penthouse:
Lois(laying in bed and watching Sonny contemplating the ceiling)All 
right, what's going on in that twisted mind of yours now.
Sonny:How did Carla know the real reason I left Brenda at the altar. The 
only two people who knew are you and Jason. And trying to get any 
information out of Jason is like trying to get blood from a stone.
Lois:I hope you're not trying to suggest it was me, because you can 
think, again. Carla and I can barely carry on a civil conversation, so 
I'd hardly be telling her something like that in confidence.
Sonny:And it sure wasn't me, so how did she find out.
Lois:Who knows? I've got a more pressing problem for you to solve at the 
moment. Why is it so hot in here?
Sonny:You're right, it is, isn't it. I turned on the air conditioner 
before we went to bed.(he gets out of bed and holds a hand up to the air 
vent.)There's nothing coming out of it.(he stands on a chair and looks 
through the grating)I see something inside the vent. I think it might be 
blocking the airway. Get me something to unscrew the grating, will you?
Lois:Here's a nail file.(she shudders in revulsion)Sonny, you don't 
think it's a dead rat, do you.
Sonny(removes the grating and takes something out)No, it's something a 
whole lot worse than a dead rat. It's a camera.
