The Cellar

Jason: Can I talk to you for a minute?

Courtney: Get out.

Faith: Your brother wants me here. Don't we all do what sonny wants?

Courtney: Ok, faith, sonny is upset. He is afraid for his wife.

Faith: Mm-hmm. And sometimes tragedy benefits people in unexpected ways.

Jason: What's going on tonight with faith?

Sonny: I cut a deal with the feds. I have to pretend that i'm close with faith. That way, she -- it gives her more credibility so she can approach alcazar. They want her to wear a wire.

Jason: What's in it for you?

Sonny: State-of-the-art forensic team working really hard to try and find my wife.

Jason: Tell them to start with ric.

Sonny: Ok, you know, how many times are you going to tell me to start with ric? Ric had nothing to do with this. They have evidence, D.N.A. Evidence, that points to alcazar. Now, they think alcazar took carly out of the country.

Jason: Ok, I know you're getting upset with me, ok? But I want to ask you this -- ric hurt you once through carly. Why can't you see that he might be doing it again?

Sonny: Because I care more about trying to find my wife than blaming ric for something he didn't do.

Sonny: Will you listen to me a minute? The feds want faith on the inside to get evidence against alcazar. I agreed to be the one to put her there.

Jason: Faith is crazy. What if she tries to kill you?

Sonny: Look, she dies. I agree, she's a lunatic, but she wants to stay alive and she wants to stay out of prison. So do I. And we have to do what the feds --

jason: This is not --

sonny: Listen to me.

Jason: This is not the way to get carly back.

Sonny: I always suspected alcazar had something to do with this, either by himself, with ric, or with somebody else. The feds have manpower and equipment that i don't have.

Jason: They're blackmailing you.

Sonny: You're damn right they're blackmailing me. We have not found carly, have we? We don't have a ransom note, a lead, not one shred of evidence. The cops can do what we can'T. I'm willing to deal.

Jason: All right, so you tell me, who's going to buy that you suddenly got over your wife and now you're hooking up with faith roscoe?

Sonny: If carly died, I'd have nothing -- no reason to live, nothing to hope for, nothing to look forward to. I would want to drown. I'd want to -- I'd want to climb in a hole and not get out. I'd want to drink poison, sleep with trash. Faith is both. So that's why I have to tell the whole world now that it's too late and carly's gone forever.

Courtney: Sonny would never give up on carly.

Faith: All I know is that he wants me here with him.

Courtney: You're lying.

Faith: Ask him yourself.

Courtney: Sonny, there has to be some reason you're here with faith.

Sonny: Ok, listen to me. I made -- I made an arrangement with the feds that if I help them, they help me find carly.

Courtney: How does that have anything to do with faith?

Sonny: Well, it has -- because -- I have to be seen in public with her.

Courtney: Sonny, no one's going to buy that you're actually --

sonny: Shh, shh. Hit me. Hit me real quick. Just hit me, will you? Right now. Just hit me. Do it.

Courtney: You selfish bastard! [She clocks him]

Scott: Nice punch, but I could probably hit a little harder. Is this all part of the little act?

Sonny: Shut up. Will you shut up?

Courtney: Oh, what's the matter, sonny? You don't want people to know? Don't tell me your conscience is bothering you.

Sonny: This is crazy. You guys are ridiculous.

Scott: What's going on?

Courtney: I don't know. Sonny's wife is missing, and he's out partying with faith the psycho mob slut.

Jason: Courtney, let's get out of here.

The Park

Courtney: You know what, sonny? You're a faithless, lying pig. You aren't even good enough for carly. You never were.

Jason: Sonny's putting himself through hell for no reason.

Courtney: If the f.B.I. Can help find carly --

jason: If the feds were really going to help, they'd send a forensics team to ric's house. They'd do a records check. They'd go over everything that ric has done since the day he hit town and find out where he's keeping carly.

Courtney: If the evidence does lead back to ric, i'm sure the F.B.I. Will do all that and more.

Jason: Courtney, the feds are manipulating sonny. They obviously know how desperate he is to find carly. They're going to tell him exactly what he needs to hear as long as they can use him, but there's no guarantee that they're going to hold up their end of the deal. I just -- I can't figure out why sonny isn't seeing it. I know he can't think straight and he's grasping at straws right now. I got to stop him.

Courtney: No, jason. Sonny's plan is the best option he has.

Courtney: Sonny is too smart to take the F.B.I. At their word. He's only going to go along if he sees that they're holding up their end, using their forensic specialists and their technical expertise to find carly.

Jason: It's too risky.

Courtney: What else is sonny going to do, jason? Wait? Worry? Keep badgering ric?

Jason: Yeah, that's exactly what we need to be doing. We need to keep pressuring ric until he gives us something.

Courtney: Ok, but, jason, what if you're wrong? Sonny can't afford to wait. Every day that passes, it makes it harder to track carly. At least now we have government specialists searching for leads. I am so scared for carly. I can't even imagine what life would be like without her.

Jason: Carly's not going to die. And if this is what sonny thinks he needs to do to find her, then that's his right.

Courtney: I think that it's the only option that sonny has left.

Jason: I think sonny's making a mistake, but i can't blame him for that. If you disappeared, I would do anything to get you back.
