Jason: Okay, just take a deep breath and tell me what you found.
Spinelli: The Jackal pulled any and all results of blood tests
Run on Port Charles residents in the last three months
Trying to document a D.N.A. link to the deceased Aleksander Janacek.
A link exists.
The Balkan has indeed been hiding in plain sight.
It's Brenda's attorney Theo Hoffman.
Theo: Assure me again that you have everything under control.
Shawn: Let's get it done.
I'm right outside the bride's room.
As soon as Brenda's alone, I'll take her.
Theo: I want to know the exact moment it happens.
Shawn: You got it.
Robin: This is more than a case of normal wedding jitters. I can tell.
You're really afraid, aren't you?
Brenda: I feel so much anxiety.
I feel really nervous about all of the people who are against us getting married.
Robin: Negativity, you know it has an effect on you
No matter how strong you are.
But you're here today. You're getting married.
So, who cares what they say?
Brenda: Yeah, but, you know, I've tried to marry Sonny so many times.
[Clears throat]
And what if today...
Something goes wrong just like all the other times?
Dante: All set.
Michael: Lookin' good, dad.
Sonny: I feel like I can conquer the world right now.
Dante: Doesn't that feeling get old?
Sonny: Well, you know, I'm marrying the woman of my heart
My children are with me.
This moment right here...
It doesn't get any better.
Dante: Wow. Sonny Corinthos, the romantic optimist.
I don't know how much of this I can take.
Sonny: I'll try to control myself.
You know what? We gotta go, 'cause last time I was a no-show
And I don't want my bride to worry. Let's go!
Michael: All right, let's do it.
Dante: You sure?
Sonny: Yeah. Heh heh heh.
Max: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! No, no, no, no, no. This way.
Carly: Max! What the hell!
Max: I'm sorry--
Carly: What do you think you're doing? You're sorry?!
You lied to me. You said Sonny wanted to talk to me.
Milo: Well, we couldn't very well tell you what we were really up to.
Carly: You kidnapped me.
What do you think you're gonna do?
Keep me here against my will?
Max: Boss' orders.
Carly: Oh my God. I don't have time for this!
I have to get to Sonny!
Max: I'm sorry. I can't let you leave this house until the boss
And the new Mrs. C. are safely on their honeymoon. I'm sorry.
Carly: You're gonna be so sorry.
Brenda: I'm just being paranoid.
Robin: I get it. It is one of the scariest things in the world to come so close
To getting everything you've ever wanted.
Brenda: Do you regret marrying Patrick
Because of how things have turned out?
Robin: No, I don't.
Brenda: Really?
Robin: No. I mean, I would have done everything exactly the same way.
Except maybe having to deal with Lisa.
Brenda: Why is there always a Lisa or a Carly?
I don't understand what's happening.
Robin: I don't know. Men, they just love crazy women.
Brenda: 'Cause they're idiots.
Why do we like them?
Robin: [Laughs] Look, when I...
When I had Emma, I had so much anxiety
Because I wanted everything to be perfect.
I wanted her to be perfect.
And I was so afraid that she would be H.I.V.-positive
Or something else would go wrong.
But that didn't happen, you know.
She was born this beautiful, perfect little baby girl.
And anyway, the point is that you and Sonny are going to be fine.
You're going to get married
And you're gonna live happily ever after
And you're gonna be this cute little old married couple.
Brenda: We're gonna be an old married couple?
Impossible.
[Robin laughs]
[Brenda and Robin laugh]
Theo: Got an update for me?
Suzanne: Yeah. Your man Shawn is in place
And Brenda and Robin just went over to the bride's room.
Theo: Excellent. Meet me at my hotel.
Suzanne: Now?
Theo: I want you out of there. The champagne will be chilled and waiting.
Suzanne: Uh, no. No. I don't think that's a good idea.
Theo: Why not?
Suzanne: Brenda and I made up, remember? We're good friends.
It'll be strange if I'm not at the ceremony, not to mention suspicious
If I'm nowhere to be seen when she vanishes.
Theo: Your work has been exemplary throughout our mission.
Now it's done.
I want you with me at the moment of triumph.
Metro Court, as soon as you can get there.
Sam: It's a stretch.
Theo Hoffman is a highly successful Manhattan attorney.
How can he be the Balkan?
Spinelli: Look, the science is indisputable.
The results are conclusive.
Aleksander Janacek and Theo Hoffman share the same D.N.A.
Aleksander is most definitely Theo's son, which would make Theo the Balkan.
Jason: I mean, it all fits.
You know, Theo's attempt to kidnap Brenda in Europe didn't work
So he followed her here, he slapped her with a lawsuit
Came out of nowhere to defend her.
What's that give him?
Time and access he needs.
Spinelli: Yeah, and the Balkan suspected that the Divine One had knowledge of the fate
That befell Aleksander.
Sam: Which is why he was after her to begin with.
Jason: Yeah. And Brenda confirmed it by confessing to him that she killed his son.
Sam: Unbelievable. Under our noses this whole time.
Jason: Theo has had the upper hand long enough. Now we turn the tables.
[Brenda sighs]
Robin: Huh. Uh, hair and makeup was supposed to be in here waiting for you.
Brenda: Maybe they got lost.
Robin: Yeah, I'll go check.
Brenda: Okay, I'll come with you.
Robin: No, no, no, no. You stay here.
Brenda: Why?
Robin: Because it is in my job description to go and wrangle people, not yours. Your
Job is to stay here and--
Brenda: Alone?
Robin: Enjoy the moment. Enjoy today, enjoy the room.
Brenda: Enjoy the moment.
Robin: And don't leave this room until Jason comes to walk you down the aisle. Understood?
Brenda: Yes, sir.
Robin: Okay. Be right back.
Lulu: Hey.
Luke: Oh, hi, gor-- ooh, you do me proud.
Lulu: You look great, too. Ready to go?
Luke: Yeah.
Ethan: Me, too.
Lulu: Are you serious?
Ethan: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, my first duty as a Spencer is to crash weddings, right?
Luke: Mm-hmm.
Lulu: Well, I just think this is a little above and beyond for you. I'm surprised you
want to go.
Ethan: It beats the hell out of manual labor at Kelly's. So...
Lulu: Well, it will be very random, but nice having you.
Ethan: Thank you. And besides, Kristina invited me. You know, I don't like disappointing her.
Luke: Uh, look, word to the wise here, Dodge. That little girl's crush on you caused you
A lot of pain last year. She's not all that much older. She's still troubled. Proceed
With caution.
Ethan: Oh, I know. I remember. Don't worry. Besides, I'm happily tethered to my ball and
chain.
Lulu: Oh, where is the wife?
Ethan: She is on call at the hospital. And she was not inspired enough by Sonny and Brenda
To change her schedule.
Lulu: Oh, well, I understand that. And it works for me, because now I get to be escorted
By two devastatingly handsome men, and we can all look at my equally gorgeous boyfriend
On display as the best man.
Assuming we get that far.
Luke: You have reason to think we won't get that far?
Lulu: Well, no, I mean, Carly hates Brenda, and not that she said anything to me, but
I wouldn't be surprised if she found a way to stop the wedding.
[Sonny sighs]
Dante: This looks great.
Sonny: I gotta give it to her.
Carol, the wedding planner, pain in the ***-- I'm serious--
But she knows her stuff. I think-- ohh! Mr. Spiffy.
Morgan: Hey, dad.
Sonny: Come over here, boy. How's your leg?
Morgan: Uh, good. I don't have to wear that boot anymore.
Sonny: That boot. That's great. That's great.
Morgan: I'm really happy for you, dad.
Sonny: And I'm happy you came. Um, thank you for bringing him.
Jax: No problem.
Sonny: Can I talk to you for a second?
Jax: Yeah, sure.
Sonny: I'll be right back.
Jax: What's up?
Sonny: Okay, um...you know, everybody knows that you oppose me marrying Brenda.
Jax: Well, I'm not gonna deny that.
Sonny: And I'm just hoping that you don't cause any trouble here, you know, like get
Up in the middle of the ceremony and object or something, you know.
Jax: Well, you know, the thought had crossed my mind. I'm not here for that.
Sonny: How about-- how about we say truce just for-- you know, at least for today?
Jax: In that spirit, I haven't spoken to Carly.
Sonny: Okay. Uh-huh.
Jax: I'm sure you know that we're not exactly together at the moment.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Jax: So when I say no trouble, I can only speak for myself. And Carly may very well
Have something up her sleeve.
Sonny: Yeah, I took that into consideration.
Carly: You big lugs, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves manhandling a poor defenseless
woman. You know what it's called? It's called kidnapping. It's illegal. You could go to
Jail for that. Maybe you should go to jail for that.
Max: We don't like this any more than you do.
Carly: Here's a solution, Max. Let me go!
Milo: We really can't do that, Mrs. J. But the boss assured us keeping you here is for
Your own good.
Carly: Really? How's that?
Max: The boss doesn't want you two to get into a big fight at the wedding, you know,
Because you tried to stop it or you attack Brenda or something.
Carly: So now you're saying I'm petty? Shame on you again, Max. You know what I'm doing?
I'm looking out for Sonny like I always do. He's about to make a huge mistake and I'm
Just trying to stop him.
Max: See? Exactly what the boss said she'd say.
Carly: Oh my God! [Sighs]
Milo: Ah, don't fret, Mrs. J. You'll be fine here.
Max: The boss said to make sure you're comfortable, get you anything you want.
Milo: Is there anything you want?
Carly: Well, now that you ask...
Alexis: Knock, knock, knock. I'm knocking. You mind? I think I left my glasses here.
I wanted to get them.
Theo: Ah. I haven't seen them, but you're welcome to look around.
Alexis: They're not here. I could've sworn I left them here. Well, I hope that's not
a sign.
Theo: Of?
Alexis: Dementia. I seem to be misplacing things all over the place. But the glasses,
I got fallbacks.
Theo: My specs tend to wander a bit as well. I attribute it to the demands of a brilliant
mind. Trivial details cannot concern it.
Alexis: I like that. Do you mind if I use it?
Theo: Feel free.
Alexis: Theo, you're in an awfully good mood tonight.
Theo: Yes, I am. May I walk you out?
[Molly mouthing silently]
Alexis: In the interest of a more amicable work environment, why not?
