Lizzie: (shaking, trembling) You--you--you said, 'not a word,' and then you raped me. (She starts backing away)
Tom: Did I? Did I say that? God, you know never know what is going to pop out of your mouth. You know? A line from a song, something your mother used to say to you.
Lizzie: You raped me.
Tom: Yeah. Sometimes I like pictures, sometimes I need that hunt. You can understand that, can't you? Huh? Oh, maybe you can't. God, it was so beautiful between the two of us, you know? (Lizzie continues to back away from him, him walking towards her at the same time) So sweet, so great. Did they remember to tell you that it wasn't your fault? Because that's important. That's really--
Lizzie: (Running for the door, throwing things in his way) Help me! Somebody help me!
Tom: (running after her and picking her up at the door, and covering her mouth with his hand) You survived, huh? I'll survive this.
Tom: (Dragging her across the room) We are going to have so much fun. (He throws her into the darkroom with Emily and leaves)
Emily: (Coming over to her) Elizabeth? How did he find you?
Lizzie: (shaking) I found him.
Emily: Did he hurt you? Did Tom hurt you?
Lizzie: It's--it's Tom. It's him. He did it.
Emily: He did what? He did what?
Lizzie: He raped me. (She slides down the wall as Emily looks at her stunned)
Emily: Ok, what do--what do you need? Tell me whatever you need. Where did he hurt you? Tell me where.
Lizzie: No, no. That night in the park, in the snow, in a ski mask. I heard his voice.
Emily: Last winter? You mean, all those months ago? Are you sure?
Lizzie: He said so.
Emily: Oh, God. Listen to me. I am going to get us out of here, ok? Listen to me. Ok? I'm going to get us out of here. Stay here. (She grabs a pair of scissors and tries to open the door. Lizzie has flashbacks of her attack and then Emily begins pounding on the door, screaming) Come on. Come on. I know who you are! Let us out! Brenda would spit on you! My brother would kill you! Elizabeth? (she walks over to where Elizabeth is sitting on the floor by the wall)
Lizzie: (Terrified) He's going to do it again.
Lucky: (Opening the door, he and Nikolas walk in the studio) Look, I'm going to get the lock on Tom's desk. Which drawer did Fred say it was?
Nikolas: The third drawer. I'll watch the door here.
Lucky: Ok.
Nikolas: (They hear a banging on the door and approach the darkroom) Tom? It's Nikolas Cassadine. If this --
Emily: Nikolas?? It's Emily. Open the door!
Nikolas: Emily? (he and Lucky walk-run towards the door)
Emily: Quick, before Tom comes back. Unlock the door!
Nikolas: (To Lucky) Grab the keys. Just hang on. We're going to get you out. (He steps back to let Lucky open the door) Come on. Come on. Open the door. Em, it's all right. We would've never let you come down here if we'd known it was him. (The door swings open and Emily tumbles out) You all right? You all right? (Emily points inside the room) Huh? What?
Emily: Liz. (Everyone looks inside to find Lizzie still huddled on the floor)
Lucky: (Going over to her) Elizabeth. Hey, it's ok now. Here, come on. It's ok. (He helps her outside) It's all right. Tom's gone. Going to get you out of here.
Lizzie: (Turning to Lucky) It was him. In the park. Tom. The night that you found me. (Lucky looks stunned)
Emily: Tom raped her. He told her so himself.
Lucky: (With tears in his eyes he pulls her into his arms) No... Did he? Tonight? Elizabeth? (Holds her at arms length)
Lizzie: Uh-uh.
Emily: (Walking over to the phone, picking it up and holding it to her hear} Augh! He did something to the phone lines.
Nikolas: Mine's in my car, but I think that there's a pay phone downstairs we can get to.
Lucky: (Pulling away to look at Lizzie) Ok. Ok. We're going to go downstairs, we're going to call the police. We're going to tell them what Tom did to you, did to Emily--everything. Ok? That's what we're going to do this time, ok?
Emily: Wait. What about the pictures, you guys? Nikolas, he was going to blackmail you, too. He had pictures.
Nikolas: This doesn't matter now.
Lucky: There's no time.
Emily: Ok. (Everyone turns around to find Tom standing behind them)
Lucky: Look, everyone, it's the pervert rapist. (Tom pulls out a gun)
Nikolas: Police are on their way, man.
Tom: I'll be long gone by then. Emily, get my keys, please? (When she doesn't move, he yells, and she jumps to find them) Keys! Keys! Keys! Thank you. (She tosses them to him) Everybody get in the darkroom.
Lucky: No.
Tom: (Yelling) Now!
Lucky: Yeah, sure. (He steps forward towards Tom. Nikolas moves the girls out of the way and then stands beside Lucky) You want us in the darkroom, right? Closed door, nowhere to run--it's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, right? You want to use that thing? Do it out here where there are doors and windows and people out on the street to hear--see the glass fly.
Nikolas: Look, man, there's a bank five blocks from here that will give me $50,000 in cash. Now, it's yours as long as everyone stays safe. You have my word on that. Now, you can put these three and lock them in the darkroom, and I'll go with you to the bank.
Emily: Nikolas, no.
Tom: (to Emily) Shut up!
Nikolas: I can call right now and have my uncle's banker get the money together for you, ok?
Tom: Shut up! Everything's over, ok? (Lucky moves to the side) It's done. It's finished. You already had your shot. You should have given me that money a long time ago! A long time ago. (Lucky rushes him, surprising him. Nikolas knocks the gun out of his hand, and when Tom throws Lucky off him, Nikolas knocks him down. Tom throws Nikolas off, and Lucky dives for him)
Lucky: I'll kill you! (By this time, Lizzie has picked up the gun and has it pointed at Tom)
Emily: Liz! Liz! (Everyone turns to look at Elizabeth)
Lucky: (Getting up and walking towards her) Elizabeth.
Tom: She's crazy. If you let her shoot me, it's murder.
Nikolas: It didn't bother you a few minutes ago, did it?
Lucky: Elizabeth, we got him now. He won't get away this time.
Lizzie: I know what I'm doing.
Tom: I thought you said you called the cops.
Nikolas: I lied.
Tom: Well, (He pulls his cell phone out of his coat and hands it to Nikolas) call them.
Emily: Elizabeth, if you do this, you're letting him win. It's never going to be over.
Lizzie: (She is kind of whispering-yelling at Tom) You thought you were my first. You liked that, didn't you? You got to make me bleed. That was a night of filth, but it washed away. You aren't a man. This is a man (looking at Lucky), and this is a man (looking at Nikolas). Do you understand that?
Tom: Yes. Yes.
Lizzie: You know, I want you to live, Tom. (Everyone looks relieved) I want people to know what you did. I want to see the disgust in their faces. And I want you to go to jail. Who knows? Maybe there you'll begin to understand something about rape. (Lucky gets the phone and hands it to Lizzie. She calls 911.) Um--this is Elizabeth Webber. I need the police to come pick up a rapist.
(Music plays)
(Taggert is reading Tom his rights. Lucky looks towards Lizzie and then the police lead Tom out, with Lucky, Lizzie, Nikolas and Emily following)
