Stefan's Study, Wyndemere:
Stefan:I understand that Forest Hills Sanitarium is a very fine 
facility. Michael will get excellent care there.
Miranda:No.
Stefan:Isabella, you are mistaken if you think you have a choice. You 
have none. Sign the papers.
Miranda:I said no. I'm not going to have my husband put away. He was 
just confused. He'll be fine, now.
Stefan:I didn't want to do it this way, but you're forced my hand. Jax.
Jax:Mirandere, if you don't have Sonny put where he can't harm anyone, 
I'll go to the police and press charges against him for attacking me.
Stefan:The choice is yours, Isabella. Either jail or hospitalization. 
Either way Michael will be put where he can't try to harm anyone else.
Miranda:Forget it.
Jax:If that's the way you want it.(smirking as he picks up the 
phone)Hello, is this the police. I'd like to speak to Detective Taggert.
Miranda:Put down the phone, Jax.
Jax:Only if you sign those commitment papers right this minute.
Miranda:Jax, if you have Sonny arrested, you'd better reserve the cell 
next to him for yourself, because I'll return the favor and have you 
arrested for blowing me up. Do I make myself clear.
Jax:You wouldn't.
Miranda:Just try me.
Jax(hangs up the phone)
Miranda:I'm a trained nurse and I can take care of my husband just fine. 
You two aren't going to bully me into having Sonny hospitalized.

Stefan and Bobbie's Room:
Bobbie(throws back the covers and forces herself to sit up)I've got to 
get out of here. I've got to get to Luke.(she stands up and falls to the 
floor due to her weakened condition. Bobbie forces herself to half crawl 
and half drag herself to the door, then she uses the doorknob as a brace 
and gets back on her feet. As she makes her way slowly down the stairs, 
she hears arguing coming from Stefan's study, but ignores it as she 
heads out the front door)

Mike's Apartment:
Mike(opens the door to Sonny)Michael, what are you doing here?
Sonny:(runs inside)Hurry. Close the door.
Mike:Michael, what's wrong.
Sonny:Pop, you're got to help me. Jax and Cassadine have convinced 
Miranda I'm crazy and she's going to have me put away in some snake pit.
Mike:How did they do this?
Sonny:Jax somehow found out Deke was alive and he brought him to town.
Mike:Michael, Deke is dead. You know that.
Sonny:No, don't you see, Pop. It was all a scam the cops pulled to 
protect one of their own from Scully. Deke is alive. Taggert is Deke.
Mike:Taggert?
Sonny:Yes, Taggert. Don't you see how much sense it makes. It explains 
why he's been out to get me since the moment he met me. It's because 
Taggert is Deke.
Mike:Michael, Deke was Taggert's idol. He blames you for his death. 
That's why he's out to get you.
Sonny:No, that what he wants me to think. I never bought that stuff 
about Deke taking Taggert under his wing. That's because it's all a lie. 
A lame excuse to keep me from realizing who he really is and it fooled 
me for awhile. But I've finally seen through his disguise.
Mike:How do Jax and Stefan Cassadine figure into this.
Sonny:I told you. Jax brought Deke to town. And Cassadine's trying to 
convince Miranda to have me put in some snake pit. See, they're working 
together to try and convince Miranda I'm crazy. You do believe me, don't 
you, Pop? You'll let me hide here. You won't tell them where I am?
Mike(pulls Sonny into his arms and hugs him tightly)Of course, Michael. 
It's going to be all right.
Sonny:I was beginning to feel like there wasn't anyone I could trust. 
But if I can't trust my own father, than who can I trust, right?
Mike(tips Sonny's face up like he's still a child)Michael, you look 
awfully tired. Why don't you go in your old room and lay down for 
awhile.
Sonny:All right, I think I will. I had to pretend I was sleeping, 
earlier, because I didn't think it was safe to go to sleep with Jax in 
the same house. Thanks, Pop, for being here when I needed you the most.
Mike(watches Sonny go into the bedroom, then picks up the phone)Hello, 
Mrs. Lansbury, this is Mike Corbin, Miranda's father-in-law. Is she 
there. I'd like to speak to her, please.
Mrs. Lansbury(watches as Miranda comes running down the stairs in a 
panic)Miss Isabella, Mr. Corbin is on the phone for you.
Miranda:Hello, Mike, I really can't talk, right now. Sonny's missing and 
I've got to find him.
Mike:Sonny's here.
Miranda:What?
Mike:He showed up at my door talking about Jax bringing Deke to town and 
your brother trying to convince you to commit him. Miranda, what's going 
on?
Miranda:Oh, god, he must of heard us talking in Stefan's study. Mike, 
keep him there and don't let him leave. I'll be right there.
Mike:Don't worry. Michael's not going anywhere. I'll humor him until you 
get here.(he hangs up the phone)
Sonny(standing behind Mike)And I thought I could trust you.
Mike(spins around to face his angry son)Michael!
Sonny:You're just like the rest of them. You can't be trusted, either. I 
was a fool to come here.
Mike:Michael, let me explain.
Sonny:Explain? What's there to explain. I heard what you said. You said 
you'd humor me until Miranda got here. You've betrayed me just like you 
did when I was a child. You'd think I'd learn by now that when the chips 
are down, you're the last person I can depend on.(he storms out the 
door)
Mike(chases after him)Michael, come back?
Luke(as Sonny enters the club)Sonny, what's going on?
Sonny:Can I trust you or will you betray me like him.(he motions to Mike 
as he enters)
Mike:Michael, let's just sit down a discuss this calmly.
Sonny:Why? Do you want to keep me here until the men in white coats come 
for me, put me in a straitjacket and drag me away.
Bobbie(comes stumbling through the door wearing only her nightgown)Luke! 
Help me!
Luke(runs to Bobbie)Barbara, what's wrong?
Bobbie:(gasps)Luke, I've been poisoned.(Luke catches her as she 
collapses in his arms)
Luke(shakes her)Barbara! Barbara! Speak to me.(he turns to Mike)Mike, 
call 911. I think Bobbie's dying.
Sonny(slips into Luke's office as Luke and Mike are occupied with 
Bobbie. He goes over to Luke's desk and opens the top drawer. A gun lays 
inside it. He picks it up and gazes at it)I can't trust anyone anymore. 
The only person I can trust is myself.(he sticks the gun down the 
waistband of his jeans and leaves through the back entrance)
