Penthouse next door to Jax's:
Garcia:So you were in Mr. Jacks' penthouse when you heard a noise coming 
from here and came over to investigate? Is that right, Ms. Ardanowski?
V:That's right. I made a lot of noise so the perpretrator must have 
heard me and left via the back way.
Taggert:Perpretrator? Watching a lot of police shows, are we, Ms. 
Ardanowski? Oh, I forgot, you used to be a state trooper, didn't you?
V(ignores him and goes over to the ashtray)I think this could be a clue. 
It was burning in the ashtray when I arrived. I think our suspect may 
have been smoking it.
Taggert:And what do you expect us to do? Bring in ever perp who smokes. 
Do you know how many stores sell cigars? Ms. Ardanowski, leave the 
police work to the professionals, would you?
V:This is not just some ordinary cigar. I can tell by just looking at it 
that it's been made specially. You find out who made it and you'll have 
your killer.
Jax(enters wearing his robe)V, what's going on here? When I woke-up you 
were gone from bed and I got worried.
V:I couldn't sleep.
Taggert:I guess you need to work on your technique, Mr. Jacks. When I 
make love to a woman, she stays out for the night. Want me to give you a 
few pointers?
Jax(looks to Garcia)What happened here?
Garcia:A murder, it seem. Ms. Ardanowski heard a noise and came over to 
investigate and found your next door neighbor, a Mr. Hiram Johnson, with 
a knife sticking out of his chest.
Jax:V, when you heard a noise, why didn't you come to get me. You should 
have ever come over here by yourself. Brenda wouldn't have done it.
V(tries to control her temper)Detective Garcia, if that's all the 
questions you have for me, do you mind if I leave.
Garcia:Of course, if we have anymore questions for you we'll contact 
you.(V leaves)
Taggert(as Jax follows)You know, Mr. Jacks, you reall need to learn how 
to control your woman.
V(as Jax enters the penthouse after her)I can't believe you did that?
Jax:Did what?
V:Said I should have waken you before I went over to Mr. Johnson's 
apartment like I was some silly, weak female who needed a big, brave man 
to check out some bump in the night.
Jax:What's wrong with that? You should have. First, you go chasing out 
in a foggy night after some pervert who may have been stalking you, now 
you walk into the middle of a murder scene. Brenda would never have done 
something like that.
V:Please don't say one more time Brenda wouldn't have done it. I'm not 
Brenda. I'm not looking for some daddy/lover to take care of me. I can 
take care of me, myself.
Jax:But you don't have to, anymore. I can take care of you, now.
V:Are you not listening to me. I don't want a man to take care of me. I 
want a husband not a nursemaid. If you can't learn to start treating me 
as an equal, than you and I are going to have big problems.

Wyndemere:
Stefan:Now, Freddy, I need you to tell me exactly what you saw the night 
Carla Solieto was shot or should I say I want you to tell me exactly 
what Carly Roberts did.
Freddy:As I told Ms. Davis, an hour after Ms. Roberts and Mr. Morgan 
left with young Michael, Ms. Roberts came back alone. She went upstairs 
to the penthouse and when she came back down a few minutes later she was 
noticeably upset.
Stefan:How can you be sure Ms. Roberts went up to the penthouse floor.
Freddy:There's only one bank of elevators that goes up to the penthouse 
floor. I'm posted at that elevator and people have to sign in before 
entering. Nobody can get up to the penthouse floor without getting past 
me, first.
Stefan:Excellent. When you talk to my wife, you'll only have to 
embellish your tale slightly. Here's what I want you to say to Barbara 
when I get her to come over here...

Jason's Penthouse:
Carly(coming down the stairs)Renaldo said you wanted to speak to me?
Jason:Yes, would you sit down.
Carly:Jason, what is it?
Jason:Did you shoot Carla?
Carly(laughs)Jason, is this some kind of joke. You told me you hired 
someone to take care of Carla, so why would I need to shoot her? It 
doesn't make any sense.
Jason:I didn't tell you I'd put a hit out on Carla until you came back 
from the ladies room. You were in the bathroom an awfully long time, 
Carly. Were you really in there all that time or did you sneak back to 
the penthouse and shoot her?
Carly:Jason, I don't have a gun and I don't know how to shoot one even 
if I did have one.
Jason:You knew where I keep an extra gun in the penthouse and for 
someone who doesn't know how to shoot a gun, you did a pretty good job 
of shooting Dr. Jones.(he takes her hand in his)Carly, tell me the 
truth. If you're not honest with me, I won't be able to protect you. Did 
you sneak away from the Port Charles Hotel and come back here?
Carly:Yes, but I didn't shoot Carla.
Jason:Tell me exactly what happened.
Carly:I came back here to deal with Carla. I don't know what I planned 
to do to her, but I planned to do something. The door was partially open 
when I arrived. I could see Carla. Se was putting a gun away in your 
desk and removing a pair of black gloves. She was talking to someone, 
but I couldn't see who it was. Taunting someone would be a better way to 
describe it.
Carla:What are you going to do with that gun? Shoot me? Why don't you 
just put it away and leave. We both know you don't have the guts to fire 
it.
Carly:Then there was a gunshot and Carla fell to the floor. I ran back 
to the elevator and left. Two things were going through my mind at that 
moment. One, whoever shot Carla, could just as easily shoot me. And, 
two, if the police learned I was there, with my past record of shooting 
Tony, they could pin the blame on me. Jason, I can't be locked up, 
again. I couldn't stand it.
Jason(kisses Carly on the forehead)Don't worry, you won't. I won't let 
it happen. You're sure you have no idea who shot Carla?
Carly:No, I couldn't see who Carla was talking to. The door blocked my 
view. Then when I returned to The Grill and you told me you'd sent 
someone over to the penthouse to deal with Carla, I thought that was who 
was in the penthouse when she got shot.
Jason:Did anyone see you here that could tell the police?
Carly:Just Freddy the doorman.
Jason:Then it looks like I'll have to take care of Freddy, doesn't it.
Carly:Jason, if neither one of us are responsible for what happened to 
Carla, than who is?
Jason:I haven't the slightest idea.

Sonny and Lois' Penthouse:
(The person wearing black gloves who swiped Sonny's gun, puts it back 
where they took it from without Sonny having ever realized it was 
missing in the first place)

Manager's Office, Port Charles Hotel:
Manager:Is this Mr. Faison?
Faison:(puffing on a cigar)Yes, it is.
Manager:This is the manager of the Port Charles Hotel. I just wanted to 
tell you the apartment you wanted is now available, although you may not 
want it when you hear the circumstances under which it's become 
available. The tenant was brutally murdered.
Faison:That's no problem. When may I move in.
Manager:It'll probably be a few days before the police conclude their 
investigation.
Faison:Fine, you know where to contact me when I can take possession of 
the premises.(he hangs up. Then stares up at the painting of V)Soon, my 
dear, Gillian, soon, we shall be together. All that remains is me 
disposing of Jasper Jacks, permanently.
