Emily and Sonny are at a hotel together when a gunman bursts in and starts shooting. The gunman is shot dead by Jason and all three are questioned by Police. Nikolas stops Lucky from hurting Patrick at GH and then arrives at the hotel with Lucky to help Emily out of her jam. Eventually, Emily goes to the P.C.P.D., to speak to Jason but is rebuffed while Nikolas tries to get Lucky to see that he wasn't at fault for Jesse's death.
The following transcript is from the Nikolas and Emily scenes:
Detective Rodriguez: Whoa, whoa. Your brother's not supposed to be here.
Lucky: Yeah, listen, you said it involved Emily. Is she okay?
Detective Rodriguez: Yeah, see for yourself.
Nikolas: My God.
Detective Rodriguez: He's dead, killed by Jason Morgan.
Officer: Hey, bring Morgan in.
Detective Rodriguez: Come on in.
Officer: Has anything been touched or moved?
Emily: We got dressed.
Officer: What were you two wearing when the shooting started?
Sonny: Is that necessary, what we were wearing?
Officer: We need to test for gunpowder residue and other forensic evidence.
Emily: When the gunman came in, Sonny was -- was barefoot with his shirt open, and I was in my underwear.
Lucky: Are you okay?
Emily: I wasn't hurt.
Detective Rodriguez: All right, we're all going down to the station. You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent.
Emily: He was only protecting me! You have no idea what you're talking --
Lucky: It's a formality. You don't have to say anything till we get to the station.
Detective Rodriguez: If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Take them. Squad cars are waiting out front.
Sonny: Hold on -- hold on, she shouldn't have to go through the front. Nikolas, I hate to ask, but can you take her out the back, and then just drive her to the station?
Detective Rodriguez: You -- you don't run things around here, Corinthos.
Nikolas: Emily's a victim here. Why does she have to be led out like a criminal, Lucky?
Lucky: Listen, okay, we just got to do this by the bookay. Emily's going to have to go out the front. You guys can go out together if you want.
Emily: Nikolas, you don't have to do this.
Nikolas: It's okay, I want to.
Tv announcer: We interrupt regular programming for live coverage on a breaking story. Reputed crime lord Sonny Corinthos was involved in a shooting at the Cosmopolitan Hotel and is being taken in for questioning.
Reporter: Mr. Morgan, what happened?
Second Reporter: Mr. Morgan, what did you see?
Third Reporter: Mr. Morgan, can you tell us -- Mr. Corinthos, were you the one here with the woman?
Second Reporter: Who was the woman?
Second Reporter: Emily Quartermaine, what were you doing with Sonny Corinthos?
Nikolas: Please, let us thugh -- no comment, please.
After arriving at the station, Emily gives her statement to Durant.
Durant: Do you have any idea who the gunman was?
Emily: No. I'd never seen him before.
Durant: Bring in Corinthos.
Nikolas: Can we leave now?
Lucky: I have a few more questions.
Detective Rodriguez: Your turn to give a statement.
Lucky: Did Sonny and Jason mention Alcazar?
Emily: No.
Lucky: Did they recognize the gunman, or were they expecting retaliation?
Emily: No. I've told you everything I know.
Durant: Why are you asking about Alcazar?
Lucky: Sonny and Jason were responsible for the shooting at the carnival. The target was Diego Alcazar, but the shooter got sloppy and left my partner, Detective Jesse Beaudry, brain dead instead, and the hotel shooting was retaliation.
Durant: Those are some very serious accusations, Officer Spencer. None of it would surprise me, but you're going to need some proof to back it up.
Lucky: The man who shot Jesse conveniently died in the E.R. because Sonny and Jason cover their tracks.
Emily: Sonny would never send a shooter!
Lucky: Don't tell me he's a good mobster! Look what he put you through.
Emily: It's not Sonny's fault that someone came in --
Lucky: He made you a target, Emily. Sonny has no remorse, no -- no conscience, and he proved that he sent his shooter to the park to take out Diego and left Jesse dead instead.
Nikolas: Lucky, Lucky, Lucky --
Emily sighs.
Nikolas: This isn't helping. Come here. Come here.
Lucky: Oh, don't -- don't tell me you're going to defend that scum now.
Nikolas: Listen to me. Listen. I hate Sonny for what he put Emily through. I just -- I have a serious problem with believing that he would send a gunman to kill Diego at a carnival where children were present. Is he a criminal? Yes. Absolutely. But he's also a father. I just -- I doubt that he would put a child in danger like that.
Durant: All right, you're -- you're free to go.
Emily: I want to see my brother first.
