Wyndemere:
Stefan:They hung up.
Taggert:(to Garcia)Did you get it?
Garcia:They weren't on the line lng enough for a trace.
Luke:What did they say?
Stefan:They want a million dollars and for Michael to deliver it. I 
guess they'll call back to tell me where.
Taggert:You don't suppose whoever's got Mrs. Cassadine is out to get 
Sonnyboy, do you?
Stefan:If my wife has been kidnapped because of him, I'll make him pay.
Garcia:Mr. Cassadine, can you get the money together?
Stefan:It'll be no problem.
Taggert:Then that just leaves getting Corinthos back here. Do you know 
where he and his wife are honeymooning?
Stefan:On our island in Greece. Isabella wanted to show Michael where 
she grew up. I'll call him now.(he dials the number)Hello, Esmeralda, 
this is Mr. Cassadine. Would you please put my brother-in-law on the 
line?
Esmeralda:Mr. Cassadine, he's not here. Madam Cassadine called us to 
inform us the honeymoon plans have been changed.
Stefan:She did what! Did she say where they were going instead.
Esmeralda:No, sir.
Stefan(slams down the phone)Damn her!
Luke:What's wrong?
Stefan:My mother changed their honeymoon plans. I have no idea where 
they are. If Michael doesn't deliver the ransom as Barbara's kidnapper 
has ordered they could kill her.
Luke:Surely there's someway to contact them. Can't you contact the 
Cassadine yacht?
Stefan:Yes, but it'll take time and we don't know how much time the 
kidnapper is going to give us.
Helena(enters)Stefan, dahling, what's going on?
Stefan:Mother, where are Michael and Isabella?
Helena:They're on the island in Caracus.
Stefan:The island where Spencer murdered father?
Luke:Hey, there was no murder involved. I was just trying to stop that 
lunatic from turning this town into a giant ice cube. Mikkos just 
happened to fall into the ice chamber after I gave him a little push.
Stefan:Mother, why are they there?
Helena:I gave them the island as a wedding present. Why? Is something 
wrong?
Stefan:Barbara's been kidnapped and they want Michael to deliver the 
ransom.
Helena:Oh, how horrible. I do hope Barbara's all right. Oh, Stefan, you 
don't think the kidnappers are forcing themselves on Barbara, sexually, 
do you. I've heard of that thing happening.
Luke:I'm sure you have plenty of firsthand knowledge on that since 
that's what your son, Stavros, did to my wife.
Garcia:Are there phones on the island?
Helena:Not a one.
Luke:I'll go. I have intimate knowledge of where the island is.
Stefan:No, I'll go.
Luke:Cassadine, you've got to stay here in case the kidnappers call and 
to get the ransom together. I'm the perfect person to go and get Sonny.
Stefan:Oh, all right. You can take the Cassadine jet to Caracus and I'll 
have a seaplane waiting to take you to the island.
Alexis(sidles up to Helena)You had something to do with this, didn't 
you, Aunt Helena?
Helena(smiles)Alexis, dahling, I have no idea what you  mean.

The Underground Compound:
Victor:Champagne, Anna?
Anna:Thank you.
Victor:You must think it's rather unfair to be punished for something 
Scorpio did. And he's not just here because of his conduct with Tiffany. 
But his part in Helena and Faison's mother's death.
Anna:I thought Faison had killed Nanny McTavish when she took a bullet 
meant for Holly? How is that Robert's fault?
Victor:To Faison and Helena's minds it's his fault because he was the 
main target of Faison's plan. It's not rational, but then neither are 
Helena and Faison.
Anna:It's still not fair, but this isn't the first time I've had to 
suffer because of Robert. Grant Putnam kidnapped and tortured me to get 
back at Robert.
Victor:You poor woman. Why do you put up with him.
Anna:Because I love him. You know, I don't think my imprisonment here 
would be so bad if I could be allowed to go outsidie once in awhile. Do 
you know it's been over five years since I've been able to breathe fresh 
air or feel the sun on my face?
Victor:I think I can remedy that. Without fresh air or sunshine a flower 
wilts and dies. And you're a rare bloom who must be nutured and cared 
for. Come with me, my dear.

Mainhouse, Cassadine Island:
Miranda(awakes to find herself in bed wrapped in Sonny's arms)How did I 
get in here?
Sonny:(kisses her neck)I carried you in here. I wasn't sure if it was 
good for the baby for you to be sleeping on the couch.
Miranda:I don't even remember you carrying me in here.
Sonny:It was like you took knock-out drops or something. You didn't even 
stir once when I picked you up off the couch.
Miranda:I've been dozing off a lot like that, lately. It's the baby.
Sonny:(caresses her flat stomach)I can't believe our baby is growing 
inside you as we speak.
Miranda:You will when I'm calling you every name in the book when I'm in 
labor. And, by the way, you will be in the delivery room with me. We 
were together when we made this baby and we'll be together when I 
deliver it.
Sonny:Yes, maam. Actually, you coulnd't keep me away if you tried.
Miranda:Weren't you saying something to me when I dozed off? What was 
it?
Sonny:(kisses her on the cheek and makes a move to get up)We'll talk 
about it, later. Now I'm going to go for a walk and gather some fresh 
fruit for our dinner.
Miranda:I'll go with you.
Sonny:Are you sure?
Miranda:I'm all rested and raring to go.

Jake's Pool Hall:
Jason(enters)Hi, Nikolas, how's it going?
Nikolas:Jason. Is there something I can do for you?
Jason:I thought you'd want to know Bobbie's been kidnapped. I was also 
wondering if maybe you might have heard something about it around here. 
If anyone around here is talking about who might be involved in it.
Nikolas:No, I haven't heard a thing. When did it happen?
Jason:It happened during Sonny and Miranda's wedding reception. The 
kidnapper wants a million dollars and for Sonny to deliver it. Luke's 
gone to get Sonny. Will you keep you eyes and ears open around here.
Nikolas:Of course. Anything I can do to help, I'll do. You'll tell me 
when you hear anything, won't you?
Jason:Of course.

Cassadine Island:
Anna(holding her face up to the sun)This is absolute heaven. I can't 
thank you enough for this, Victor.
Victor:It's a little thing. I don't see why you should be deprived of a 
little sunshine because of Scorpio. Even prisoners in jail get time in 
the exercise yard, don't they.
Anna:That's true.

The Control Room:
Guard:Mr. Faison, I thought you should be made aware of this. Mr. 
Cassadine has taken Mrs. Scorpio up to the surface.
Faison:He's done what!
Guard:I tried to stop him, but he said he was the boss.
Faison:That idiot! We'll see about that.(he heads to the surface)

The Surface:
Sonny:Bananas. Pineapples. Miranda, this is incredible. Fruit doesn't 
grown on trees in Brooklyn like this.
Miranda:This is the one thing I've really missed about living on an 
island. Being able to walk out the door and pick all the fresh fruit I 
want.
Sonny:I'm going to head off in that direction.
Miranda:Okay, I think I'll head back to the house.(she gives him a quick 
kiss)I'll see you back there, baby.

Faison(exits the underground compound)Cassadine, are you mad bringing 
her out here?
Victor:I don't think letting Anna have a little fresh air and sunshine 
is going to hurt anything.
Faison:That's your problem. You don't think. You obviously have no idea 
what she's really like. She's a deceptive and cunning creature. You give 
her an inch and she'll take a mile.
Anna:I love you too, Faison.
Faison:Cassadine, if you think by giving her a pretty dress and bringing 
her out here you'll win her away from Sco-pee-oh, than you're a bigger 
fool than I always thought you were. She loves only one man. Oh, she'll 
pretend you have a chance with her to get what she and Sco-pee-oh wants, 
but it's just an act. Believe me when I say nothing will ever come 
between her and Sco-pee-oh. I've tried for years and failed miserably.
Victor:Well, I'm not you.
Faison:Why you arrogant...I'll have you know there's also another reason 
why bringing Onnah out here is jeopardizing everything. Your niece, 
Isabella is honeymooning on this island with her new husband.
Victor:So?
Faison:(throws his cigar on the ground in anger)You idiot! He's not one 
of us. There's no telling what he'd do if he learned what was really 
happening on this island. Tell me, Victor, do you want to deal with 
Helena if because of your stupidity everything is ruined?
Victor:Come along, my dear.(he takes Anna by the arm)It's time we were 
going back in, anyway.
Sonny(comes into the clearing just as the underground entrance is 
closing up)I can't have seen what I just thought I did. It must have 
been a mirage. A trick of the sun. (he goes over and examines the rock 
face, then he notices Faison's cigar still smoking on the ground and 
picks it up)But I'm sure not imagining this. Something weird is going on 
on this island.(he stubs out the cigar in the sand and slips it in the 
backpocket of his trousers. Then he hears a seaplane flying overhead 
coming in for a landing.)
