Siobhan: Well, I can tell by your tone that you're wearing your cop hat tonight.
What are you gonna do?
Arrest me for breaking and entering?
Even though this is a church and it's open to everyone?
Lucky: So this is how you're going to play it, huh?
You're just going to keep lying to my face, huh?
Siobhan: I've got no reason to lie to you.
Lucky: Really? I can give you one.
If you've been working for the Balkan this whole time.
Lulu: I'm not clear. Am I here because I might be called
To testify against Brenda in the wrongful death case?
Or because you're warning me that there's some kind of danger?
Theo: Both. Have you felt threatened recently?
Dante: Why are you even hesitating on this?
The Balkan has been five steps ahead of us for months.
We need a way to stop him. Siobhan is it.
Jason: Yeah, but Lucky might not see it that way.
Dante: I don't give a crap. Lucky--
Jason: Lucky's what, collateral damage?
Dante: No. Lucky will get over it.
Jason: We don't even consider other options?
Dante: How can we consider the fact that he likes this girl--
Jason: Okay, see, I just think you're too close to this whole Brenda situation.
I mean, you're not even being objective.
You're not even weighing the consequences or thinking about strategy.
So I think you should just step back and let me handle Siobhan.
Abby: Stop this, Brandon!
Brandon: Quit your whining and say you'll--
Abby: Get off me! Get off me! Oh God!
[Sobbing and yelling]
Get off me!
[Crying]
Get off me!
Michael: You will never touch me again!
Brenda: Uh... oh wait, you knew that Jax went to London, right?
Carly: Of course I knew.
I mean, you don't think my husband would leave the country without telling me, do you?
Brenda: No, of course not. Of course he wouldn't. I mean I just--
Look, I just thinks it's so great that, you know, Jax feels like
He could do something like this for me and not feel like he's gonna upset you.
Well, I don't have to tell you this. I mean, Jax just, he loves to rescue people, so...
Carly: You sit around waiting to be rescued a lot.
Seems like you like the attention.
Brenda: Yes, I do.
Look, I just wanted you to know that
I'm just so grateful that Jax came through for me. Again.
So because of him, I feel like this whole nightmare is about to be over.
Carly: And you couldn't wait to throw that up in my face.
Alexis: I'm going to speak to you as your best friend who loves you so much
And thinks you walk on water.
You know that's how I feel about you, right?
Jax: I do. Feeling's mutual.
Alexis: Then you'll still love me when I tell you that
I completely get why Carly would be furious with you.
Jax: You do?
Alexis: I do. Because you're her husband and Brenda is your ex
And you've been traipsing all over the world to try to fix Brenda's life
While lying about it.
I would rip your head off. The relevant one.
Jax: I didn't lie, okay?
London was business, and that's exactly where--
Alexis: Oh, wow!
Jax: What?
Alexis: You're going to do that? You're going to play semantics with me?
Fine, okay. Hypothetical--
Josslyn is sixteen and she says "Hey dad, I'm going to the library"
And then ends up at a college kegger.
You won't hold her to her literal word?
Jax: Now you sound like an attorney.
Alexis: I am an attorney. I'm also a girl. And if I were Carly
I would be on the way to my office to hire me to represent her in a divorce.
Not that I would ever represent Carly against you.
But Diane would. And I'd encourage it.
Jax: You know, this isn't some romantic triangle. Brenda's life is at stake.
And since I'm the first one who turned up a solid lead on the Balkan
It's a good thing that I got involved.
Alexis: You're actively in the game, aren't you?
Jax: Are you kidding me right now?
Alexis: No, I'm dead serious.
Sonny's marrying Brenda and you are trying to do something extraordinary
So that she'll shift her focus.
Jax: Okay, now you're just being silly.
Alexis: I'm just saying if you want to keep your wife
Brenda should not be your priority anymore.
[Jax sighs]
Siobhan: I don't know what nonsense you're spouting,
But I can pull your coat to one thing--
You're crossing into stalker territory the way you've been following me around.
Frankly it's creeping me out.
And it proves my point.
You are way too invested in me.
You're looking for someone to fill the shoes of your fallen Saint Elizabeth
When all I wanted was an adventure and someone to ***.
Lucky: It's not working. So you can stop.
Not long after I brought you here, something changed.
And lately it's been getting worse.
You're just-- you're too edgy. You're jumping out of your skin.
It's like, you get these mysterious phone calls
You run off on these mysterious errands--
Siobhan: Am I under some kind of obligation to tell you my whereabouts every time--
Lucky: And you were fishing way too hard
About where Brenda and Sonny were having their wedding.
So I lied. Fed you the wrong information.
Don't you see what's going on here?
I set you up, darling.
And boy did you ever take the bait. Here you are doing recon for the Balkan.
Siobhan: I don't have to listen to this!
Lucky: Hey, where do you think you're going?
Huh? You're not leaving.
Look at me. Look at me. This is over.
Lulu: No, I haven't felt threatened.
Theo: Very good. You must let me know if that ever changes.
Lulu: So was there anything else that you needed?
Because, um, I have a very demanding boss.
Theo: Well, it's evening.
Lulu: Like I said, demanding.
Um, is there anything I need to know? Any way I can help?
Theo: Well, I anticipate your being called as a witness by the plaintiffs
Unless their attorneys are complete morons.
It is incumbent upon us to be prepared.
Lulu: But wouldn't I be considered a hostile witness since I'm clearly on Dante's side?
Theo: Yes. But that won't stop them from calling you.
They will simply declare you as such and they will ask their questions.
I need to know what your answers will be.
Lulu: What kind of questions do you think that they're gonna ask?
Theo: Well, of primary interest is
Anything and everything Dante Falconeri told you about the death of Anton Banovic.
[Knock on door]
Shawn: Bad time?
Theo: No, come in. Shawn Butler meet Lulu Spencer.
Lulu: Hi. Nice to meet you.
Theo: Mr Butler's on my staff as investigator and security consultant.
Lulu: Why does there need to be a security consultant on this case?
Theo: The Balkan. We all live under that threat. Including you, my dear.
[Abby crying] [Michael and Brandon grunting]
Abby: Somebody help us!
Somebody help us! Help! He's getting killed!
Somebody help! Somebody help!
Jason: Let go. Let go. Let go.
Let go right now! Let go!
You stopped him. It's over. It's over. It's over.
Brenda: Look, I just wanted to express my gratitude, you know
For the fact that Jax has stepped up to help me.
And I really, I'm sorry if the fact that he did that makes you feel bad.
I mean, I guess I just thought that your marriage was on more, you know, solid ground.
I just mean that if you and Jax are having a problem, I'm not one of them.
You know. I'm marrying Sonny. Remember?
Carly: Really counting on that, aren't you?
[Knock on door]
Brenda: Who is it?
Robin: Hello, it's me.
Brenda: Yay!
Robin: I'm here to talk about, um, all things wedding.
Brenda: Yay!
Carly: Don't worry, I'm leaving. You guys can have your happy little meeting.
Robin: Why don't you just give it up?
You know, nothing that you can say will prevent Sonny and Brenda from getting married.
Carly: Who has to say anything?
I wouldn't put odds on this wedding happening.
Robin: Such a delight. Did you see that evil look in her eye?
Brenda: Doesn't she always look evil?
Robin: Well, she does, yes, but that's also her "I'm up to something" face.
She thinks she can destroy your wedding.
Brenda: Oh, come on, who cares what this woman thinks? I mean...
What?
Robin: Is there anything going on with you?
Siobhan: Did it ever occur to you that I might be trying to help Brenda?
Lucky: And why would you do that?
Siobhan: You know how women are.
We go into a tizzy at the thought of a wedding.
Maybe I was doing Brenda a favor by taking pictures of the venue.
Or maybe I was taking photos for you to help you with your security prep.
Lucky: You're here because it's where the Balkan wants you.
Siobhan: Have you always been this paranoid?
Or this a recent development?
Lucky: You're here because the Balkan's planning on
Grabbing Brenda on her wedding day.
From the bride's room, considering where I found you.
Siobhan: Okay, now I'm just insulted.
Lucky: Oh, you're insulted?
You're insulted?
No, I'm insulted, Siobhan. Me, okay?
'Cause you've been sleeping in my bed and working against me behind my back.
And you know what? That's bad enough.
But did it ever cross your mind that you're setting a woman up to be murdered?
Siobhan: Then arrest me if you're so bloody sure!
No? Not going to put on the cuffs? Go to hell.
Shawn: The Balkan is a serious dude. He's got power. He's got money, resources.
He operates from behind a veil of secrecy like nothing I've ever seen.
And believe me, I've seen covert. Which means the Balkan does
Whatever the hell he wants
And no one can touch or stop him.
Lulu: Right. I get that the Balkan equals scary, but why would he target me?
Shawn: You're Dante Falconeri's girlfriend.
Lulu: Well, I'm not anymore.
Shawn: It doesn't matter. There's been plenty occasion for pillow talk.
"How's your day, dear? Brenda Barrett killed a man and I covered it up."
See what I'm saying? You might have valuable intel.
The Balkan wants to know what you know.
Lulu: But I don't know anything.
Shawn: Then the Balkan would have no use for you.
Theo: It's all right, Miss Spencer. My colleague here is a professional.
It's his job to assess things in the bleakest possible terms.
Just be careful out there. In the meantime, I will look at my calendar
And I will let you know about the date for your deposition.
Lulu: Thank you. Thank you.
Theo: Enjoy the rest of your evening.
[Door closes]
Theo: Something on your mind?
Shawn: Kind of late in the game for a preliminary meeting with
The possible important witness.
Theo: And why does that concern you?
Shawn: You're right. It doesn't.
You do your job your way and I'll do mine.
Which brings me to a few ground rules I need to clarify.
Theo: I'm all ears.
