Sonny and Lois' Penthouse:
Sonny(enters)Lois, what are you still doing down here? I thought you 
went up to bed.
Lois:Actually, we had a visitor after you headed across the hall to see 
Jason.
Sonny:It wasn't Taggert and Garcia, was it?
Lois:No, it was Brenda.
Sonny:What did she want.
Lois:To stay here for awhile until she gets her life together.
Sonny:That could take the rest of her life. You told her no, I hope. 
Cerullo, you did tell her no, didn't you?
Lois:Sonny, I couldn't. It's our fault she left Jax. If we had only been 
honest with her she'd never have left Jax.
Sonny:Lois, I was honest with her, but she wouldn't believe me. I don't 
want her living with us.
Lois:Sonny, it'll only be for a little while. It's the least we owe her. 
What harm can it do.
Brenda(standing at the top of the stairs watching them)Yes, what harm, 
indeed.

Wyndemere:
Stefan(as Alexis enters)Well, how did it go? Is there any way we can 
make it look like Miss Roberts is guilty?
Alexis:As it turns out, we won't have to do anything. There's every 
possibility Carly Roberts did shoot Carla Solieto.
Stefan:What did you learn?
Alexis:The bartender at the Port Charles Hotel Grill remembers seeing 
Morgan and Roberts arrive and he also recalls that shortly after their 
arrival Ms. Roberts excused herself from the table and went into the 
powder room where she stayed an inordinate amount of time.
Stefan:So you think it's possible she may have snuck away from the hotel 
and returned to the penthouse and shot Ms. Solieto?
Alexis:I know that's what she did. The doorman at the Harborview Towers 
told me an hour after she and Morgan left with the kid, she returned to 
the building alone.
Stefan:Excellent. Will they keep quiet aboaut what they know for the 
right price?
Alexis:The doorman, Freddy, is heavily in debt to his bookies. Carla 
Solieto bought off his markers from one bookie, but he still owes to 
more. He has a major gambling problem. As for the bartender, he's got an 
eye for expensive cars and even more expensive women. For the right 
price we can own them body and soul.
Stefan:Excellent. Isn't it wonderful the way whenever I need a way 
to...how shall I put it...manipulate someone, I always find a way to do 
it.

Casino, Internationale Hotel:
Robert(returns to Anna's side)Don't worry, luv. I've taken care of 
everything.
Anna:What does that mean?(Just then Frisco and Sean enter dressed as 
ambulance attendants and they wheel in a stretcher)
Sean:Someone need an ambulance, here?
Tiffany:Yes, over here, darlin. It's my friend, Claude.(she points at 
Robert, accusingly, still in character)That brute over there knocked him 
out.
Claude(moans as he begins to come around as Sean and Frisco pretend to 
examine him and take his vital signs)What happened? Where am I?
Frisco:He couldn't stay out five more minutes, could he?
Sean:Well, there's a simple solution to that.(he takes out a syringe and 
fills it with a sedative, then injects Moreau)
Casino Manager:What was that for? Why did you knock him out? He was just 
starting to come around.
Sean:We need the patient to be immobile while we transport him.
Frisco(mutters)The understatement of the year.(he and Sean lift Moreau 
on to the stretcher. Sean turns to Tiffany)I think you should come with 
us since you're a friend. You can ride in the back of the ambulance with 
him.
Tiffany:Of course, darlin.
Robert(watches as Tiffany follows behind Sean and Frisco as they wheel 
Moreau out of the casino on a stretcher)That went pretty smoothly, don't 
you think, luv?
Anna(turns to him in shock)Smoothly? Robert the whole plan nearly blew 
up in all of our faces. You were supposed to be obnoxious enough so 
Tiffany could convince the man to leave the casino with her and go up to 
her room where Sean and Frisco were waiting to ambush him. You weren't 
supposed to make him want to kill you. Must you have been so insulting.
Robert:Who knew he'd want to defend Tiff's honor. 
Anna;Well, it might have occured to you since he's such a big fan of 
hers.
Robert:I don't see what you're complaining about. The plan worked 
because I made it work. Oh, I know what's wrong. You're jealous that I 
saved the plan from the jaws of defeat, aren't you.
Anna:You should have saved it, you're the one who nearly ruined it.
Robert:That's entirely beside the point. Come on, let's get out of here 
before someone tries to arrest me for assault. By the way, just what are 
the police called in Rio, anyway.(they head out of the casino)

Jason's Penthouse:
Jason:(opens the door and is shocked by who he sees)Fritz! What are you 
doing here? Are you nuts? Do you want the police to figure out you're 
the one I hired to pop Carla.
Fritz:That's just it. I didn't.
Jason:You didn't what?
Fritz:I didn't pop her. When I arrived to do the job the place was 
crawling with cops, so I left. I'm here because I don't want to get in 
trouble with you for not carrying out your orders and wanted to know if 
you wanted me to go to the hospital and finish her off for you.
Jason:You're telling me you're not the one who shot here?
Fritz:I never got the chance to.
Jason:Well, if you didn't shoot her, than just who did?

Deception:
Kat(as Garcia and Taggert enter)What can I do for you, gentlemen.
Garcia:You could start by telling us where you were at the time Carla 
Solieto was shot.
Kat:I was right where I am, right now.
Taggert:Can anyone verify that you were here.
Kat:I'm afraid not. You're not really trying to suggest I shot her, are 
you. Why would I want to do that?
Garcia:We have it on good authority your company is in financial 
trouble. The party at the Outback to launch your new campaign was 
supposed to put you back on top, but Carla Solieto ruined it for you.
Taggert:That must have made you made, real mad. Maybe even mad enough to 
kill.
Kat:You see this(she motions to the papers on he desk)I've been up all 
night coming up with a new campaign for Sin. Carla Solieto handed me a 
bunch of lemons and I'm going to make lemonade out of them.
Garcia:But the question remains. Did you decide to make lemonade before 
or after Carla Solieto was shot.

Jax's Penthouse:
V(unable to sleep stands by the terrace windows and watches dawn break 
over the city. The peace and tranquility of the moment is disturbed when 
she hears a strange noise coming from the penthouse next door. She goes 
to investigate. Leaving the penthouse, she goes next door and knocks on 
the door)Hello? Is everything all right in there?(the door comes open on 
its own. She enters.)Hello? Is anybody here?(the place is a shambles. 
Furniture is overturned and glass is laying smashed all over the 
floor)Hello?(she notices a pair of feet sticking out from behind the 
couch. She walks over there to investigate and finds an elderly man with 
his eyes wide-opened in a death stare with a knife sticking out of his 
chest. On a coffee table next to the couch one of Faison's cigars is 
still smoldering in the ashtray)
