Deke's Grave, Woodlawn Cemetery, Bensonhurst:
Jason(Mike and Miranda run towards the grave yelling)Sonny?
Miranda(looks at the opened grave in horror)Oh, my god.
Jason(looking inside the open casket)I take it that's Deke.
Mike:Why would Michael do something like this?
Miranda:More importantly is where is he now.
Jason:Taggert said Sonny said something about being able to prove Deke 
wasn't dead.
Mike:Do you think that's why Michael did this? That by digging up Deke, 
he thought he could somehow prove Deke wasn't dead.
Jason:Since he thinks Taggert is Deke, maybe he didn't think anyone 
would be buried in Deke's grave.
Miranda:Well, he knows better, now, so where would he go next?
Mike:Adella!
Miranda:Sonny's mother.
Mike:Adella is bured, here, too. Michael told me he wouldn't allow 
Adella to be buried anywhere near Deke.
Miranda:You think that's where he is?
Mike:Michael believes he can't trust anyone he cares about. That we're 
all against him. That just leaves one person left for him to turn to 
that he'll feel he can trust. His mother. I'm sure Michael has gone to 
his mother.
Jason:Do you know where exactly in this cemetery that she's buried?
Mike:It's right this way. Follow me.

Adella's Grave, Woodlawn Cemetery:
Sonny(kneels down in front of him mother's headstone)Hello, mama. I'm 
sorry I didn't bring you any flowers. I wasn't planning to visit you. 
But I don't know where else to go. I'm in big trouble, mama. I thought I 
had it all figured out. I was so sure all I had to do was dig Deke up to 
prove he wasn't really dead. To show everyone I wasn't crazy. To make 
them all see Deke was masquerading as Taggert. But it wasn't that 
simple. Deke's coffin wasn't empty. God, mama, I desecrated a grave. 
Your final resting place is sacred hallowed ground and I violated it. 
What's wrong with me? How could I do something like that? It's the worst 
sin I've ever committed. Only the lowest kind of person would disturb 
the resting place of the dead. I'm no better than a grave robber. Mama, 
what am I going to do? They're probably out looking for me now so they 
can put me away in some snake pit. Mama, I can't be locked away. I could 
never survive it. I swear, if they lock me up, again, I'll kill myself 
if that's the only way I can escape it.(he yawns)God, mama, I'm so 
tired. I can't remember the last time I've slept. I know I should get up 
and get moving before they catch up with me, but I just don't have the 
strength to move. I'm just so tired. I don't think I've ever been this 
tired in my life. And it's just not a physical tiredness. I feel beaten 
down. I'm so tired of constantly having to fight just to survive. It 
sems like that's all I've ever done since the moment I was born and I 
just can't do it anymore. I just don't have anymore fight left in me.(he 
takes out the gun and stares at it)Sometimes I think it'd be for the 
best if I just killed myself. All I'd have to do is put this gun up to 
my head, pull the trigger and then I'd finally be free and at peace. But 
then I remember the nuns telling me suicide is a mortal sin and I can't 
go through with it.(he starts laughing)Isn't that funny, mama. I'm 
afraid if I kill myself, I'll burn in hell for it, eventhough that's 
probably where I'm headed, anyway.

Emergency Room, General Hospital:
Stefan(enters and looks towards Bobbie)How is she?
Tony:I've had to start Bobbie on life support machines.
Stefan:All right, Mother, I've done what you asked. You're back in 
power. Now give Barbara the antidote, at once.
Helena(takes the antidote out of her pocket)Here you go, Dr. Jones.
Luke:You had it on you all along? Why didn't I think to search you for 
it?
Helena(smiles)I wish you'd had, Luke, dahling. I assure you I'd have 
enjoyed it, thoroughly. I'm getting a little flustered just thinking 
about you putting your hands all over my body.
Tony:Until this is tested, I can't administer it to Bobbie in good 
conscience. It could end up killing her.
Luke:She's dying right now and you haven't been able to do anything for 
her, now you're refusing to give her the treatment that could save her 
life?
Stefan(shoves Tony aside)Get out of my way, doctor. I'll do it 
myself.(he yanks the antidote out of Tony's hand and picks up a 
hypodermic needle and turns to Helena)How much of this stuff do I give 
Barbara?
Helena:The whole vial must be administered at once.(as Stefan fills the 
syringe)Remember to eject a little of the liquid before injecting 
Barbara. You wouldn't want to accidentally inject an airbubble into her 
bloodstream. That kills instantly.
Luke:Speaking from experience, Helena.
Stefan:This had better work, Mother. Because I swear if Barbara dies, 
you die.(he empties the needle into Bobbie's arm)

Adella's Grave, Woodlawn Cemetery:
Miranda(Mike and Jason rush to Sonny's side)Baby, are you, all 
right?(Sonny's arms are wrapped around his bent knees as he stares out 
in space with the gun hanging loosely in his hand)
Mike(crouches down next to Sonny)Michael, can you hear me?(he turns 
sonny face to him and notices Sonny's unseeing gaze)What's wrong with 
him?
Miranda:Sometimes people with severe mania can go into catatonic states. 
We've got to get him to the hospital so he can get treatment.
Jason(takes the gun from Sonny's limp hand)We can't.
Miranda:Jason, look at him. He needs help.
Jason:If we take Sonny to the hospital, Taggert will be all over him 
making everything worse by trying to arrest him on those bogus 
trumped-up charges. He'll probably even try to say Sonny's faking this 
to try and get out of this mess.
Miranda:Then what do you suggest we do?
Jason:Will take Sonny back to Wyndemere and have Kevin Collins examine  
and diagnose him and arrange hospitalization then when Taggert finally 
enters the picture he'll be presented with a fait accompli and not only 
won't Taggert be able to claim Sonny's putting on an act, he'll be 
forced to drop all the charges against Sonny because when he did it he 
was mentally incompetent.
Miranda:All right, Jason, we'll do it your way.
Mike:I'll carry him to the car. Michael, I don't know if you can hear me 
or not, but I'm going to pick you up. I'm not going to hurt you, so I 
don't want you to be frightened.(carefully he picks Sonny up in his arms 
like Sonny's made of fragile crystal that will easily break and they 
head to Jason's limo)
Jason:Mike, I'll take your car back to Port Charles. I'm going to stay 
behind and try to cover-up what happened here, tonight.(he heads back to 
Deke's grave to rebury him)
