Justus: Alan, I need your help! She's bleeding!
Mac: What happened?
Justus: Faith, did you see who stabbed you?
Faith groans.
Justus: Did you see who stabbed you?
Dillion: What happened?
Justus: She's been stabbed!
Alan: She's got three puncture wounds.
Faith: A claw?
Monica: Still --
Justus: Who was it?
Faith: I don't know --
Justus: Who was it, Faith?
Faith: Somebody came from behind!
Dillion: No, no, wait a second -- Brook Lynn's up there alone. I'm going.
Tracy: Dillon --
Lucas: Behind you -- right behind you!
Mac: Damn!
Noise and thunder.
Dillion: Brook Lynn? Brook Lynn, where are you?
Lucas: Brook?
Brook Lynn: Hey.
Dillion: Oh, jeez --
Brook Lynn: I'm here.
Dillion: I'm glad you're okay.
Lucas: Wait -- wait, guys, we got to get back downstairs.
Brook Lynn: What -- what's going on?
Trent: Some woman got stabbed.
Brook Lynn: What?
Lucas: Probably by the same person who killed Sage.
Dillion: Yeah, he's probably up here now, so --
Lucas: Mac says it's better if we stay together.
Brook Lynn: No, guys -- what about warning Emily?
Dillion: Well, Emily is probably downstairs. We got to go! Come on!
Brook Lynn: Guys, come on, come on, come on!
Dillion: Go, go, go!
Emily: Hey, what's wrong?
Nikolas: If it was the killer who knocked me out, why didn't they stab me like they did Faith and Sage, and like they tried to do to Dillon? Why am I still alive?
Emily: You know, Faith could be lying.
Nikolas: Why would she bother?
Felicia: Hey -- hey, you have to go back inside. Mac wants us to all stay together.
Nikolas: He'll need help, Felicia.
Felicia: The best way to help him is to do as he asks.
Nikolas: One person's been killed, another's been stabbed, and the power's out. He needs help, okay?
Felicia: I know. Well, then I am going to go.
Nikolas: No, he left you in charge. I'll do it.
Emily: No, no, wait -- I'm going with you.
Nikolas: Stay here, please?
Emily: No, listen --
Nikolas: I don't want to waste any more time, ok?
Felicia: Okay, go ahead, say it.
Emily: Say what?
Felicia: That he's macho, arrogant, pigheaded, idiot --
Emily: Hmm. Those are actually pretty close to the words I'd use.
Felicia: Loving a guy shouldn't make you blind to his faults. Any man that would run up into a dark house alone with the killer loose is a macho, arrogant, pigheaded --
Emily: Like Mac just did.
Felicia: Exactly. They're both macho, arrogant, pigheaded idiots. And if anything happens --
Emily: Nothing will.
Felicia: It better not. Because if Mac gets hurts after refusing to use me as backup, I'll never forgive him.
Thunder.
Mac: That's how close you came to getting a bullet in your head.
Felicia: Oh, God -- I heard a gunshot. Are you all right?
Nikolas: No one was hit. I'm fine.
Felicia: Well, what happened? Did you see the killer?
Mac: I heard something.
Nikolas: Yeah, so did I -- you. I -- I heard something, jumped him -- the gun went off.
Mac: That's exactly why I ordered both of you to stay in the living room with the others.
Felicia: Well, you're lucky neither one of you were hurt. It scared me.
Mac: I'd like it to stay that way, so both of you go back downstairs and stay in the living room.
Nikolas: That's crazy. The whole house is completely dark. You can't search it alone.
Mac: Nikolas, I appreciate that you want to help, but having you with me is a liability I don't need.
Nikolas: Look, it's easier for the killer to surprise one person than it is the two of us, okay?
Mac: Technically, you are a mental patient. I do not want you involved.
Felicia: Nikolas, there's no point in arguing with him.
Nikolas: Faith swears she didn't knock me out. If she didn't, somebody did!
Mac: Either go downstairs with Felicia, or be arrested for obstructing justice. What's it going to be?
Thunder.
Heather: Not thinking of being a hero, are you?
Edward: I'm thinking we're being terrorized in our own home.
Heather: No one likes to feel helpless.
Edward: Certainly not a Quartermaine.
Heather: I feel a lot safer knowing I have you here to protect me. There's no one I'd rather have at my side.
Georgie: What's taking so long?
Dillion: It's a big house.
Georgie: My parents are wandering around in the dark, and I don't even know --
Dillion: I know.
Georgie: Mom!
Lucas: Where's Mac?
Felicia: Still searching for the killer.
Emily: What about the gunshot?
Nikolas: I jumped Mac by mistake. It's fine. Everyone's fine. He sent me down here to wait with the rest of you.
Tracy: He should be here protecting us. We're -- we're hostages!
Monica: As much as I hate agreeing with Tracy, we are better off away from this house.
Felicia: No, we have to stay here until Mac gives us permission to go.
Georgie: Dillon, what did the killer look like?
Dillion: I told you already. He had a white -- a white mask, black clothes --
Georgie: Really -- really terrifying?
Dillion: I was so scared I could barely move.
Georgie: That's probably how Sage felt right before she died --
Dillon sighs.
Georgie: Because I locked her in the freezer!
Tracy: You ought to go comfort your hysterical child so my son doesn't have to do it.
Felicia: How can you be so oblivious to your own son? He cares about Georgie. He loves Georgie.
Tracy: Adolescent passion aside, I think it should be really clear in the police report that your daughter acted alone when she locked Sage in the freezer. It is your daughter's fault that Sage Alcazar was left at the mercy of a killer.
Felicia: It's horrible what happened to Sage. It's devastating, but it's not my daughter's fault!
Tracy: Lorenzo Alcazar is the kind of man that's going to look for somebody to blame. As I understand it, Sage was his only family.
Felicia: What are you implying?
Tracy: When he comes asking questions, it's possible that I could convince him that your daughter had nothing to do with it.
Felicia: She didn't.
Tracy: Or I could tell him the truth -- that were it not for Georgie, Sage would still be alive. Lorenzo will avenge his niece.
Felicia: On Georgie?
Tracy: Or her parents. Of course, if you choose me to inherit my mother's estate --
Thunder.
Tracy: I could omit the part about your daughter's unfortunate participation.
Felicia: You greedy, blackmailing witch.
Monica: What's going on here?
Alan: Is my sister harassing you?
Felicia: She offered to assure Lorenzo Alcazar that Georgie had nothing to do with Sage's death.
Dillion: She didn't.
Lucas: We all know that.
Trent: Wait -- Georgie locked Sage in the freezer, okay, where she was killed.
Emily: You don't understand. This has nothing to do with the truth or who's responsible for what. It's about politics and blackmail.
Felicia: That's right, you hear that? You hear that, Tracy?
Tracy: It's the last time I try to help you.
Thunder.
Edward: I take it that Tracy offered to cover for Georgie if you made her sole heir of Lila's estate?
Justus: That's low, even for Tracy.
Felicia: If you ever threaten my daughter again, I'm going to rip your life apart. I'm going to dig up something so horrible on you; I'm not going to rest until you go to prison.
Tracy: You could be the one on your way to prison -- for fraud. You exploited my mother's last wishes.
Felicia: I respected Lila enough to give everyone a fair chance to inherit -- even you.
Dillion: Mom, let it go.
Brook Lynn: Seriously, Granny. Look, this is obnoxious behavior, all right? Even for you.
Tracy: Felicia lost any leverage she had over me. I already lost my chance to inherit.
Felicia: All you care about is money?
Edward: I could answer that one.
Tracy: As if you're any better.
Edward: Anybody -- Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Lucretia Borgia -- anyone is better than you, Tracy.
Heather: Do you have to do this now?
Justus: You know what? A teenage girl is dead. And Tracy's trying to take advantage of this.
Emily: Can't we wait to squabble about money when we're safe? Dillon almost died tonight.
Edward: Why would Tracy care about her son? She didn't give a damn when she dumped him here.
Tracy: As opposed to the oh-so-admirable Felicia, who walked out on her family for almost a year, leaving her daughters to run wild?
Dillion: Stop it! This is over.
Georgie: It's okay, Mom.
Emily: Hi. I apologize.
Nikolas: For what?
Emily: My family. I don't know how grandfather can criticize the Cassadines when we managed to produce Tracy.
Nikolas: Well, Tracy's no more your fault than Helena is mine.
Emily: Yeah.
Thunder.
Emily: What are you thinking?
Nikolas: If Helena's the killer -- well, you know, or someone working for her, that would explain why I was knocked out instead of killed, right?
Emily: Mm-hmm. But why would she just leave you there? You know, wouldn't she have taken you with her?
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: No one knows who this is or what they're after.
Nikolas: Yeah. The freezer door was left open so I could escape. Why? Why? What -- why am I so important?
Loud noise.
Monica: Oh!
Felicia: Okayay, everybody, stay here.
Woman's scream.
Georgie: Oh, my God!
Edward: My God, who's that?
Alan:It's Alice!
Felicia: I'm going to go investigate. You watch them.
Monica: Oh, Alice, are you all right?
Alan: Alice?
Alice: I -- I found this right outside the front door.
Georgie: Oh, my God. Is that --?
Felicia: It's Mac's -- it's Mac's badge.
Nikolas: It's covered in blood.
Thunder.
Georgie: My God, dad!
Tracy: Oh, great!
Felicia: Shut up, Tracy!
Alan:We have to do something.
Edward: I agree. We wait here; we're going to get picked off one by one.
Monica: But Mac was right. There is safety in numbers.
Tracy: Oh, what are we supposed to do, arm ourselves with pitchforks and torches?
Georgie cries.
Edward: Did you find anything?
Heather: I think this will work nicely.
Edward: Uh-huh.
Alan:Here, you take this. I'll get something else.
Monica: Oh, I think I'm fine.
Lucas: Hey, Dillon and I were talking. Georgie's not up for this.
Dillion: Yeah.
Nikolas: Maybe you should stay with her, then.
Dillion: Okayay. All right, I'll do it. I mean, I'd die before I'd let anybody hurt her, so I'll do it.
Nikolas: All right.
Lucas: Then I need a weapon.
Nikolas: There you go.
Lucas: All right. Let's do this. Let's go.
Emily: Wow. You know, it's so bizarre the way Mac's badge was just left outside the door.
Nikolas: Well, the killer's obviously trying to send us a message.
Emily: Yeah. Well, you know, what if we're playing right into the killer's hands? You know, maybe the whole idea was to get us to separate.
Nikolas: Well, your grandfather's right about one thing. We can't just sit around and wait to get picked off.
Emily: Yeah. Well, it doesn't look like they're down here.
Nikolas: I really wish you would have stayed in the living room with everyone else.
Emily: You macho, arrogant, pigheaded idiot.
Emily sighs.
Nikolas: Excuse me?
Emily: Don't worry, I mean it in the most complimentary way.
Nikolas: Well, you could have fooled me.
Emily: I don't want to leave your side, Nikolas. I -- I want to face whatever happens together. I have just as much of a right to protect you as you do to protect me.
Nikolas: Okay. I'm not going to argue with you when you're armed and dangerous.
Emily: You know, maybe you're right. Maybe it's Helena.
Nikolas: I don't know. I mean, I'm not saying she wouldn't kill Sage just because she was in the way or to camouflage what she was really after, but why would she knock me out?
Emily: Maybe she's after you. She wants to -- she wants to drug you into becoming the Cassadine prince that she always wanted you to be.
Nikolas: Yeah, but why not drug me tonight? Why knock me out then leave me to walk away?
Emily: Yeah, yeah. And why the disguise, you know? Is she -- is she trying to get some sort of an advantage by scaring us?
Nikolas: Yeah, the killer attacked Dillon in your bedroom. Maybe -- maybe he left something behind that'll help us.
Dillion: Emily? Nikolas?
Emily: Dillon?
Lucas: Hey. Guys, they have the killer trapped in the boathouse.
Nikolas: What?
Dillion: Yeah. Mac's okay. He's taking charge now. He says everybody should stay down and --
Nikolas: Whoa, whoa -- slow down, slow down -- who? Who has the killer trapped?
Dillion: Monica and Alan. They sent my mom to go get reinforcements in the house.
Emily: All right, let's go.
Nikolas: No, no, you're staying right here.
Emily: Well, I want to know who did this.
Nikolas: Yeah, and I want to know you're safe. You stay here.
Lucas: Guys, I got to get back downstairs. Georgie and Brook Lynn are still in the study, and Georgie's pretty freaked out.
Dillion: I'm going.
Nikolas: Come here. Stay here. Stay here and lock this door, and don't open it for anyone but me, okay?
Emily: If that's what you want, but I still think that --
Nikolas: Please, please, please. I love you. Please? It's almost over. Go on.
Emily sighs.
Alan: We haven't heard a sound. Monica, what if the person we saw is not the killer?
Monica: Who else would be running around?
Alan: Listen, father and Heather -- they -- they sneak off every chance they get.
Monica: Oh, wouldn't it be a shame if I shot her accidentally?
Alan: You have to tell me again, how did you find the gun in Emily's room?
Monica: It has to belong to Faith.
Alan: What if Emily borrowed it from Jason? I mean, that would be the worst possible --
Monica: Oh, it's about time!
Alan: Oh, Mac, listen, we're so relieved.
Monica: Where's Emily?
Nikolas: She's all right. She's safe.
Mac: Have you seen the killer?
Alan:No, not since he ran inside. Mac, listen, I don't understand. We found your badge on the doorstep.
Mac: Yeah, the killer's playing tricks, Alan.
Felicia: And they haven't finished yet. We don't know if Sage and Trent were murdered by accident or on purpose.
Monica: My God.
Mac: If it's really the killer you've trapped, then the answers are inside.
Thunder and the door creaks.
Killer screams.
Emily screams.
Killer screams.
Emily screams.
Emily: Wait --
Killer screams.
