The hospital

[Jason has Ric against the wall]

Jason: Tell me where carly is or i'm going to snap your neck!

Courtney: Jason, come on, don't do this.

Ric: Get off me!

[They are fighting]

Jason: Where's carly, huh?

Courtney: Stop it, jason! Stop!

Elizabeth: Jason!

Andy: Let him go, morgan! [has his gun drawn]

Elizabeth: Jason, stop!

Andy: Back off now!

Andy: Do you understand these rights as I've read them?

Jason: Yes.

Courtney: This is so overreacting. There's no reason for you to arrest jason.

Elizabeth: Uh, there's assault.

Courtney: Jason is upset about carly's kidnapping. He just lost it for a second.

Elizabeth: A second? He nearly killed him. Look at him, he can't even breathe! Jason, what the hell is wrong with you?

Jason: Ric kidnapped carly!

Courtney: Ok, look, our nerves are shot. Carly has been missing for a long time, she's expecting a baby --

ric: Yeah, which has nothing to do with me.

Courtney: Michael, sonny's son, said something about ric that set jason off, ok?

Elizabeth: Oh, please, not this again.

Courtney: Michael witnessed his mother's kidnapping, elizabeth. He was so traumatized, I mean, he couldn't go into detail, but he named ric as the kidnapper.

Elizabeth: Yeah, after he heard jason make the accusation. Ric did not kidnap carly, ok? Do you see how desperate this is? They're just making up excuses to justify the way this man almost killed my husband.

Andy: And you say what, mr. Lansing?

Ric: Jason has harassed me and my wife more than once. He's broken into our house, he's assaulted me on numerous occasions. I want it stopped.

Jason: You're the one who should be arrested. You took carly and you're hiding her somewhere. I know it, ric, and you know it!

Elizabeth: Do you honestly think I would lie to protect a kidnapper?

Jason: You're lying to yourself, elizabeth. You know ric's a psychopath. He'd do anything to hurt sonny. Ric let carly believe he'd raped her and he blackmailed her for months. You don't think he'd kidnap her? He did it!

Ric: Ok, let's get on with this, let's get on with this, all right? Attempted murder --

jason: Ask him!

Ric: Numerous accounts of breaking and entering! I am pressing charges! I want to see you in jail, because that's where a thug like you belongs!

Elizabeth: You didn't answer my question. Exactly what do you want with my husband?

Police Station

Mac: What now?

Ric: I'm filing charges against Jason Morgan here -- attempted murder, aggravated assault, breaking and entering.

Courtney: Would you please do something?

Andy: Morgan attacked Mr. Lansing at the hospital. There were plenty of witnesses.

Sonny: Ok, I need a minute with my brother alone.

Ric: Look, for the thousandth time, I don't know where carly is. I didn't take her and i don't know who did.

Sonny: I believe you.

Ric: Come again?

Sonny: In spite of all the lies you've told me in the past, i believe you.

Ric: When did this sudden change occur?

Sonny: Well, you have a wife, a future. No man in his right mind would sacrifice all that to continue a fight he's not going to win.

Ric: Oh, your arrogance is astounding. You know, I could've beaten you if i wanted to. I almost did.

Sonny: Almost isn't good enough, but that's not the point. I have a family, too. That includes jason. Ever since carly's disappearance, it's been hell on all of us. It finally caught up to him today. You happened to be there. In the spirit of cooperation, I'm asking you to drop the charges against jason.

Ric: Right, so he can come after me again, harass my wife, and break into my house?

Sonny: I give you my word, if you do this for me, jason will never come after you again.

Courtney: Jason, look, I know that you're afraid for carly, but attacking ric in public -- that is not going to bring her back.

Jason: He's lucky i didn't try to kill him.

Courtney: You're scaring me, jason. Do you want to go to jail?

Ric: All right, look, you got a reprieve. At my brother's request, I'm dropping all the charges -- but I am filing a restraining order. If you come 20 yards within my wife, my house, my car, anything like that, you will be tried, convicted, and you'll be put in jail. Do you understand me, jason? Is that clear? Hey. Is that clear?

Sonny: It's clear, ric.

Ric: Commissioner? I'd like to get the order in place so I can get home to my wife. I'm going to hold off on the pending charges, for now.

Mac: Uncuff him. You know, next time work out your family squabbles on your own time and leave the department out of it.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Courtney: Thank you, sonny. Whatever you said worked. Let's get out of here.

Sonny: Can I -- can i get a minute with him?

Courtney: Yeah.

Jason: Won't be long.

Courtney: Ok. I'll be at the club. Just come find me when you're done.

Jason: I lost it. Won't happen again.  [He hugs her]

Sonny: Yeah, I know, because you're going to leave ric alone.

Jason: Look, next time, he won't even see me coming.

Sonny: You're not listening -- you're not listening to me. This is an order -- you stay away from ric.

Jason: So you're ordering me not to look for carly?

Sonny: That's not what I said.

Jason: Then how am I supposed to find her if you put her kidnapper off-limits?

Sonny: We don't know for sure ric took her.

Jason: Sonny, i know because michael told us, and he's not going to lie to us. Ric took your wife and your unborn child. Why aren't you seeing this?

Sonny: Ok, I'm going to ignore that because obviously you're not thinking clearly. Otherwise, you wouldn't have jumped on ric like you did.

Jason: I understand this guy's your brother and you don't want to take out your flesh and blood, but that's why I'm here, so let me do my job.

Sonny: You're not going to help me or carly from a jail cell. You're just -- you know, you're going to go against a restraining order? Is that what you're going to do?

Jason: To hell with ric.

Sonny: No, not "to hell with ric"! You -- listen, carly's my wife. She's carrying my child. You look for her my way.

Agent brown: Thank you. We got something. We got a solid lead.

Sonny: What is it?

Agent brown: Forensics did a sweep of rental cars at the airport. They brought back strands of blond hair. D.N.A. Matches carly's. Looks like somebody put her on a plane.

Sonny: A plane where?

Agent brown: We don't know. Maybe we'll find out, maybe we won't. That depends on you. Are you ready to accept the deal i offered you?

The Cellar

Courtney: Oh, god, I'm so glad you're here. [She hugs him]

Jason: All right, listen, carly liked ric in the beginning, ok? She trusted him, she got to know him. That whole time, she barely mentioned him to me because she knew that I hated him.

Courtney: Jason, where are you going with this?

Jason: So carly talks to you. She told you things about ric, I know she did, so now is the time to remember them all.

Courtney: Don't you see what's happening? You're fixating on ric.

Jason: What?

Courtney: Nobody believes that he took her, not even sonny. Only you.

Jason: And michael.

Courtney: Jason, I'm worried about you.

Jason: You know, just -- just forget it, ok? I'll get the answers some other way. [Faith walks in] Oh, you can just turn around and go back the other way because you're not welcome here.

Sonny: Well, actually, she's my guest. Come on.
