General Hospital Transcript Wednesday 12/19/07


=====

Lucky: You're next?

Sam: I -- I really don't recognize the sender's number, nothing.

Lucky: Listen, if it was piggybacked like the rest of the killer's text messages, it could've come from anywhere.

Sam: Okay, that's -- that's great, but what am I supposed to do? Am -- am I supposed to suspect everybody that looks at me? Am I supposed to carry a weapon at this point?

Lucky: No, I don't want you to worry. I'm going to make sure this maniac never gets near you.

=====

Lucky: I need you to run a trace on Sam’s cell phone.

Det. Harper: No problem. Hey, Sam? Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary the last few days?

Sam: Well, like what?

Det. Harper: Confrontations with strangers, someone following you, any unusual behavior on the part of friends or co-workers?

Sam: I don't know, you know? People sort of stare and approach me all the time, I think, because they recognize me from the TV show.

Lucky: A lot of people know that you lived with Jason Morgan.

Sam: Well, yeah. I mean, I suppose his enemies would want to come after me -- I don't know.

Det. Harper: Anyone in particular?

Sam: No. Not that I'm aware of, no.

Det. Harper: You know, you might want to keep that shut and locked. I'll let you know if I come up with anything on the cell.

Lucky: Thanks.

[Door closes]

Sam: Lucky, Georgie's killer is out there, and -- and she's only been dead for a couple of hours. Why would he want to strike so quickly?

Lucky: So far, he doesn't have a pattern. We don't even have an idea how he chooses his victims.

Sam: Maybe it was just a prank.

Lucky: No, we have to assume that it wasn't and make sure you're protected.

Sam: Oh -- I hate this. I hate this. When I was with Jason, I lived every single day in fear of my safety. I just -- I thought those days were over.

=====

Lucky: Harper -- he wanted to offer you police protection, but I told him that I could handle it.

Sam: A -- a 24-hour guard?

Lucky: Yeah, five women were attacked, three were killed, and I don't want to take any chances.

Sam: Okay. I appreciate that. And I -- I value -- you know, it feels great to know that somebody cares. I just -- I don't know. I -- I don't want you to feel chained or claustrophobic or --

Lucky: Why do you always feel like you're imposing?

Sam: Well, I -- I don't know. I -- I guess it's because I grew up feeling like I was an imposition. My father was a grifter, Lucky. I -- I grew up running scams and cons, and -- and then my father would cheat me out of every single penny that I earned. So as soon as I could, I was on my own, and it was great.

Lucky: Maybe you're the one that doesn't like to feel claustrophobic.

Sam: No, I don't like to feel helpless. And this lady-killer out there, he wants me to feel like a victim, and I am not going to be a victim. He doesn't have to know until it's too late.

Lucky: What do you mean?

Sam: Lucky, maybe it is time we turn the hunter into the hunted.

=====

Sam: Think about it -- I will be on my guard, I will keep you glued to my side. And then I'll leave myself open and unprotected, the killer will come in and try and come at me, and when he does, you and the rest of the damn PCPD will come in and do your job!

Lucky: Okay, you want to be the bait?

Sam: Why not?

Lucky: Sam, it's too dangerous.

Sam: So? This guy is on the streets! What, we're going to leave him there so he's free to kill whoever he wants?

Lucky: Sam, we're going to catch him. Just leave this to the police.

Sam: Oh, fine, fine.

Lucky: I care about you. I want us to give this a chance and see where it goes.

Sam: Oh, I do, too.

Lucky: You know, we've been honest with each other from the start. We're not building our relationship on lies.

>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Dillon: Is Georgie here, because I have a surprise that's going to, like, make her day.

Maxie: Mom?

Diane: I have figured out a way to get you back to Manhattan where you belong.

Carly: This is Michael’s mother. What do you mean, he's missing?
