Jerry: The Scottish salmon was excellent -- I saved you some. Oh, and Dimitri called. I think we can tell him that the game plan has changed, you know, but he could still be useful.
Nikolas: Now that we all know who you are, you can leave. Jax has more than enough money, go live off him. I want you out of my house.
Jerry: Need I remind you, if something happens to me, Sweet Emily will go straight to federal prison or worse.
Nikolas: Oh, no, no, no, I -- I can't kill you, not yet. But I can throw you out of my house.
Emily: Once word spreads about your true identity, everybody's going to come after you -- he police, the feds, whoever you double-crossed to begin with. Might as well make plans to leave now, Jerry.
Jerry: Oh, admit it, Intern Emily -- you're going to miss me.
Emily: I explained to Jason how you set me up, and as much as I loathe you, everybody just needs to take a step back so that you can disappear from Port Charles without anybody else getting hurt.
Jerry: And I trust that you made your homicidal brother come to reason.
Emily: I told Jason that there's been enough violence, and the only way to stop it is to break the cycle. The chances for a peaceful resolution are greater if you just leave.
Jerry: Oh, listen to you -- a bona fide United Nations woman. But haven't you heard? You see, peaceful resolutions are not very popular these days. The people want their hatred with a big, big dollop of revenge.
Emily: We're giving you a chance to walk away. Why won't you take it?
Jerry: My stay here has been so entertaining. Every time I push your buttons, Nikolas has to restrain himself. You see, because if he gave in to his baser instincts and killed me, you would go straight to prison for treason. This has been a fascinating study in human nature -- truly.
Alexis: Ah -- Mr. Brosnan.
Jerry: Ms. Davis. I suppose it was too much to hope that you came here to see me?
Alexis: Well, I'm sorry. I really do hate to disappoint you, but I'm in the middle of a deposition and Nikolas is central to the case.
Jerry: Oh. Well, he'll be down any moment. I was going to drop you a line as to why you hadn't heard from me. I mean, it's been hectic these past few days.
Alexis: Are you going back to Europe?
Jerry: Yes, I must move on -- one of the unexpected moments in my unpredictable life.
Alexis: Oh. So I take it your business with Nikolas is finished?
Jerry: Well, you know, let's just say that our relationship has taken on a new phase and I must relocate.
Alexis: Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Jerry: I was not going to leave without telling you that I was -- I was very pleased to -- to reacquaint with you.
Alexis: "Reacquaint"? That would require us to have met before, and I'm certain that we didn't.
Jerry: Well, actually, we have -- briefly, some years ago. But you wouldn't remember, actually, because I had a different name and a different face. You knew me then as Jerry Jacks. Everyone loves a good Hollywood secret.
Jason: You heard from your brother?
Jax: No.
Jason: Jerry broke into my apartment, held Sam, her producer, and Spinelli at gunpoint.
Carly: Are they okay?
Jason: Yeah, they're okay. I guess he was there just to make a point, not hurt anybody this time.
Jax: Jerry led me to believe that he would stay in hiding, that his days of terrorizing had ended with the hostage crisis.
Jason: So I guess he didn't tell you that he poisoned Nikolas Cassadine?
Alexis: Jax's brother -- used the name James Craig -- held 15 people hostage, two of which where my daughter and my nephew.
Jerry: Oh, yes, Sweet Sam -- not the most accurate nickname, but so easy to remember. You see, so much was happening that the events overtook me, so I shot Robin Scorpio and sent Alan Quartermaine staggering to his death. But we're all the same person -- I mean, James Brosnan, formerly known as James Craig, the terrorist, formally known as Jerry Jacks.
Alexis: Why would Nikolas let you live here -- why would he let you live at all?
Jerry: Well, actually, I didn't give him a choice. You see, I injected Nikolas with a lethal toxin which needed a counteragent every 24 hours for him to stay alive. A remarkably effective form of leverage -- wouldn't you say so, Nikolas?
Nikolas: So now do you understand why I didn't encourage your friendship with the then Mr. Brosnan?
Alexis: Why didn't you say something to me?
Jerry: Well, actually, in all fairness, Nikolas didn't know I was Jerry Jacks until last night. As for the poison, if he told you, I would've let him die.
Nikolas: What are you doing?
Emily: What are you doing?
Alexis: I'm calling the police.
Jerry: If you do, Emily goes straight to prison.
Carly: Jerry's been hiding at Wyndemere this whole time?
Jason: Yeah, Robin, Emily, Patrick Drake were involved in this. They got dragged into it, they've kept quiet because they're trying to keep Nikolas alive.
Jax: What about Spencer? I can't believe that my brother would threaten a child.
Jason sighs.
Jason: Well, Emily said that, um, Jerry left the baby alone. I guess poisoning Nikolas was really all the leverage he really needed.
Jax: The other night at your place -- what was that about?
Jason: Well, your brother knows that I want to kill him. And he wants to make sure that Emily suffers if he ends up dead.
Jax: He didn't poison Emily, too, though?
Jason: No, he did not. He has bank transfers linking her to espionage and treason. If he ends up dead, he's going to turn the evidence over to the government. It's just a different way of holding my sister hostage.
Jax: I'll fix this.
Jason: How you going to fix this?
Jerry: Don't look so shocked. Every family has a black sheep, I just happen to be the Jacks' family's.
Nikolas: So I see you've accepted my rather warm invitation to leave. It will be understood that you stay away from all of us, especially Emily.
Jerry: Oh, poor Nikolas, ever so hopeful. You know, I do admire that. And I'm going to miss this place. I mean, not particularly the gargoyles or Spencer's morning teething fits. But our special camaraderie, you know? Partir, c'est mourir un peu, Nikolas, huh?
Alexis: Hold it. Why did you help me that day? Why didn't you just leave me out in the woods?
Jerry: Well, I couldn't let you die. I mean, Nikolas would have been distracted by the grief. He wouldn't have been able to conclude the arrangements.
Nikolas: And what can I do for you, Jax?
Jax: I'm not sure how much you know about Mr. Craig and how much I actually have to explain.
Nikolas: Well, you mean -- you mean Jerry? Well, I know that Mr. Brosnan, who used to be Mr. Craig, and is now Jerry Jacks, your brother -- that's -- I know. But I'd like to apologize just in case you feel left out for only getting one name and one face.
Jax: Is he still around?
Nikolas: No, he left. You just missed him.
Jax: Nikolas, you have no idea how sorry I am. Carly told me what you all went through during the hostage crisis, and Jason told me about the poisoning, and that he set up Emily.
Nikolas: All right, tell -- tell me, how long have you known that it was your brother who blew up the Metro Court?
Jax: I only just found out. I've been trying to make myself believe it ever since.
Nikolas: Huh. Let me tell you, there's no denial here. Okay? Your brother, amongst a great many other things, implicated Emily in high crimes and treason and is threatening to send her to prison.
Jax: Well, I'm looking for my brother. I need to talk to him.
Nikolas: You can't talk to him, Jax. You have to stop him
Carly: I am terrified that however this turns out, Jax is going to be deeply hurt. I love him, Jason, and I don't know how to help him.
Jason: Well, but Jerry brought this on himself. However this turns out, Jax is not going to blame you.
Carly: Jason --
Jason: I'm going to do what I have to do, okay?
Carly: You kill Jerry, and Emily goes to prison.
Jason: No, I'm going to get Emily out from under this. I got lawyers working on it right now.
Phone rings.
Jason: Yeah?
Skye: I need to see you. It's urgent.
Jason: Okay, meet me in 10 minutes in the alley off Rush and Fourth.
Skye: Rush and Fourth -- I'll be there.
Carly: Jax isn't here. He went to go see Nikolas. And I don't know if anyone has told you, but his brother, Jerry Jacks, is --
Alexis: I know all about it. I know who Jerry is. I know that he's Mr. Craig. I know that he's been holed up at Wyndemere, poisoning my nephew, and now threatening Emily.
Alexis sighs.
Alexis: I thought that he was Nikolas' business associate. I had no idea that he was Jax's brother. I was not one of the hostages. I didn't see his face, so there would be no reason on this Earth why I wouldn't have trusted him. As far as I know, you and your mother are the only two people -- listen, listen -- that Jerry trusts. Okay? The only people who can turn the tables and make him pay for these crimes.
Jax: You leave my mother out of this. She has no idea what Jerry's done.
Nikolas: Then -- then I'm quite confident that she'll be as outraged about this as everybody else is.
Jax: You're asking me to betray my brother.
Nikolas: No, I'm not, I'm asking for justice, and if you help Jerry avoid that, you're as bad as he is.
Jax: Look, I am sick about what Jerry's done. And I can make certain that he doesn't harm you again. But I can't make any other promises.
Nikolas: Are you seriously going to defend this psychotic idiot that is your brother, huh?
Emily: Nikolas, what's going on?
