Michelle: Just forget everything that we talked about, okay?

Drew: (at Millennium) Michelle you have to speak louder, I can't hear you.

Michelle: (desperately) Please just don't call the FBI. Look, I can't, I can't go through with it.

Drew: Are you all right?

Michelle: Yes, I'm fine. I just - I can't, I can't.

Drew: Michelle, why? What, what happened?

Michelle: Look, I don't have time. I don't have time to explain. I don't have time to -to raise my voice or anything. I just - just don't call the FBI okay - don't contact them please.

Drew: I, I, I already did. I'm, I'm sorry - I told the feds everything Michelle.

Michelle: (scared) Do they want Danny?

Drew: Let me put it to you this way the agent that I talked to sounded like he just won the lottery, Okay?!

Michelle: God, I can't believe this is happening.

Danny: (walks up behind Michelle and takes her arm) Hey, Michelle. Hey, is there a problem?

Michelle: (Nervously) Um, No - Danny. I didn't know you were here.

Danny: Well yeah. I, I was visiting with my Grandmother. Are you okay? Did I interrupt something important?

Michelle: No, I'm fine, I'm fine. I just, I was, I was calling my brother and the nurse couldn't put me through - she didn't know how to transfer calls.

Danny: (starts to put on coat) Well why don't you try it again.

Michelle: I will.

Danny: (pulling his coat on) Okay.

Michelle: Where are you going?

Danny: (buttoning his coat) Down to the docks. I've gotta meet that shipment, you know the one I told you about. I've gotta make sure it gets through customs. (Walking toward Michelle..Taking her face in his hands and kissing her forehead) I'll see you in about an hour.

Michelle: (Danny is starting to walk away... she holds his arms and says in a desperate voice...) Danny don't go!

Danny: (Looking confused and upset) What is your problem? Come on, why don't you want me to go?

Michelle: (Taking both of his hands, looking at him and smiling) I just wanted to tell you (swallowing) that I really enjoyed our talk yesterday and, and it was great and I felt so much closer to you, you know. (sigh of relief)

Danny: Yeah, it was, it was good and we'll do some more of it later. Okay, I gotta go.

Michelle: (smiling and stalling)...but there's so much more that we have to talk about, you know, there's so much more that, there's a lot that I have to tell you, there's a lot of things that you need to know.

Danny: Like, what? (frustrated) Like what?

Michelle: Well, well I don't, I don't want to have to get into it if you're going to walk out the door.

Danny: (trying to be understanding but very frustrated) Michelle. I told you, I have to meet this shipment. (confused) What, what?

Michelle: (solemn) I know. I just feel like, I just feel like whenever we get close, you have to - go somewhere and (phone rings)... I think we should spend more time together, maybe that's the problem.

Danny: (walking toward desk to answer phone, holding his hand up) just, hold on. (Michelle walks across the room shaking her hands looking anguished)

Danny: (answers phone) yeah. yeah. (hangs up the phone...walking toward Michelle) Look, they're waiting for me at the docks Michelle I gotta go now. (Michelle has her back to Danny...he puts his hands on her shoulders and sort of talks in her hair) Baby I heard you. I heard what you said and I, I want to spend some more time with you too. We'll talk some more tonight okay. (starts to walk away)

Michelle: Yeah, if another meeting doesn't - turn up.

Danny: (reassuringly) It won't. Michelle, I promise.

Michelle: (turns to face him) Danny.

Danny: (completely frustrated) What?!

Michelle: You could work yourself 24 hours a day if you, if you let yourself. I mean my goodness what am I suppose to do just put, put my feelings inside.

Danny: (stern voice) Michelle. You know how important this shipment is - don't you?! We talked about it.

Michelle: Is it more important than us?

Danny: (exasperated) No. (Carmen walks into the room)

Carmen: (walks up to Danny and Michelle) You're asking my son to choose between our business and you Michelle?! I can assure you his priorities are in order. (Scene ends with Michelle looking at Carmen and then Danny nearly in tears)

Selena: (Drew is walking in front of her with the phone in her hand) Who are we talking about that's gonna get hurt tonight? What?

Drew: (they stop next to the bar and Drew turns to Selena) Michelle.

Selena: Why am I not surprised? Why?

Drew: She wants to take down the Santos family to get her life back, Selena.

Selena: Uh-huh.

Drew: And I owe her so I told her I would be the contact for her and the FBI so we would, we would tip them off and she would take down that whole damn family!

Selena: Please, please tell me this is one of your bad jokes all right.

Drew: So - she called me with a tip. And then she called me back and she was in a panic and she said to just forget the whole thing and I told her that I couldn't that I already did it and she just, she hung up.

Selena: Well so call her back and say..

Drew: (upset) I'm afraid to.

Selena: Why?

Drew: What if Danny and Carmen know about this? They could be - she could be risking her life right now. (Selena shakes her head no)

Michelle: (standing in front of Danny holding is coat scarf...in a whisper) Please..don't go anywhere. I have to talk to you, okay?

Danny: (whispering) Okay. (Michelle walks out of the room)

Carmen: (walks toward Danny..very angry) I don't like what I'm seeing Daniel. Not only has Michelle come between you and I, she's trying to distract you from the business -UNACCEPTABLE!

Danny: Unacceptable to whom, mother? Huh?

Carmen: I still run this organization.

Danny: (angry and in Carmens face) You don't run me! You got that?! When are you gonna get that through that, (pauses & walks around Carmen) head of yours?!

Carmen: You never spoke to me in this manner before...

Danny: (angrily turns to Carmen) Well I am now...

Carmen: ...she came along.

Danny: ...you back off! Leave Michelle alone.

Carmen: Not when I know she's up to something and you know it to. Don't you?

Danny: (with an "I hope your satisfied" smirk/smile) Well. If Michelle is up to something, we'll find out soon enough.

Carmen: (shocked) What's that suppose to mean?

Danny: (looking completely disgusted) I set her up, mother, just like you asked me to. To prove that your wrong about her. And it's all going down right now. Michelle's either going to sink or swim and I'm betting that she swims. (He turns to leave)

Carmen: How are you going to test Michelle?

Danny: (turning to face her) I told her there's a shipment of illegal goods coming in tonight.

Carmen: When in fact the contents are completely legal?

Danny: There's not going to be anything in it that's not supposed to be there.

Carmen: So if the FBI shows up on a tip only one person is responsible - your wife.

Danny: (totally disgusted) Are you satisfied, mother?

Carmen: (hugging Danny...he just stands there) Oh, Daniel, I'm so proud of you. (stepping back) I should have known you'd be wise enough to do what was right. I'm sorry I ever doubted you and your devotion to this family.

Danny: (still disgusted) Well, you should've never doubted Michelle's devotion. (starts to leave) I gotta get to the docks.

Carmen: Danny...

Danny: (turns to look at Carmen) What?

Carmen: ...and if Michelle betrays you and our family, what will you do?

Danny: What do you think? I'll do what needs to be done, mother. (Danny exits)

Carmen: Dietz - get in here. (Dietz enters) I need you to do something for me. I want you to call that, uh, that friend of yours. I want her to call the FBI. Don't look at me that way I know what I'm doing. I want her to call the FBI, identify herself as Michelle Santos and say that the family is expecting a contraband tonight - at the docks.

Dietz: (not looking happy) Are you sure?

Carmen: Don't question me - just do it! I...

Dietz: yes maam... (he leaves)

Carmen: (sitting down at the desk) I'm not taking any chances. Michelle is going down whether she's guilty or not.

Selena: Look Drew - If Michelle wants you to cancel the sting then you do it and you do it now! (she hands Drew the phone)

Drew: (looking worried) I told you I can't Selena. They're on their way there do you understand that? I called - I got a recording, I got a recording okay? It is done.

Selena: Damn.

Drew: I'm not happy about it either okay?

Michelle: (desperately) Danny wait...

Danny: (turns to Michelle) Michelle, what?

Michelle: (wiping away tears & pleading) I just need you to stay with me for a little bit longer please.

Danny: (frustrated) Michelle, they're waiting for me. I, I can't wait for you - I gotta go!

Michelle: Oh God (turning away from him with her hands on her face in complete anguish & crying) Oh.

Danny: What is your problem?

Michelle: (hands in hair, walking towards Danny) I just, you can't go to the docks, you have to, you have to stay here, I need you with me. (Michelle, in a desperate panic, starts kissing him)

Danny: (trying to resist) Michelle. (he kisses her then whispers) Michelle. (trying to calm her, he touches her face and neck & whispers) Stop..Stop..Stop it..Stop it (now he's kissing her forehead - totally concerned) Now what.. is wrong with you, huh? Tell me what is going on with you. (All this time Michelle is clinging to him and the scene ends with them looking at each other)

Michelle: I didn't want to tell you. I really didn't want to tell you this...

Danny: What?

Michelle: And I was going to lie (rubbing her eyes & backing away) and I was gonna cover it up and I can't, I can't do this anymore. But I don't know, I don't know how to tell you the truth, I don't know how to explain this to you.

Danny: (calmly) What truth, Michelle it's okay, tell me.

Michelle: (crying) I was gonna tell you when we were talking the other day, when we were sharing things with each other, remember?

Danny: (nodding yes) Okay, what?

Michelle: Okay, okay, okay. Do you remember, do your remember when I was telling you about Jesse and about the fire at Reva's house?

Danny: (confused) You mean ,what, when you went blind?

Michelle: (soft spoken but upset) Yeah, umm, that's something that I thought was behind me and that's why I was calling Rick because I was calling I had to tell him..I...

Danny: (Concerned & confused) What Michelle? Tell me. What?

Michelle: (scared) When I, um, when I look at you, I don't see you very well. Danny I think I'm going blind again. (close up of Danny)
