General Hospital Transcript Thursday 12/27/07

=====

Spinelli: Well, why -- why are you here? Why aren't you out looking for the darkling that strangled wise Georgie?

Det. Harper: That is why we're here.

Lucky: We have new information.

Spinelli: Great, leading to the killer?

Lucky: Right now, it leads us right to you.

=====

Lucky: You need to start talking. It looks like you and the last victim were a lot closer than you led us to believe.

Spinelli: I -- I told you, wise Georgie was the Jackal's friend.

Det. Harper: But she wanted to be more.

Lucky: See, we combed through Georgie's computer files and we found these -- emails that she wrote but she never sent.

Georgie's voice: "Dear Spinelli, I know I'll never have the nerve to send you this, but you're the sweetest, kindest, and probably smartest guy I've ever met, except where women are concerned. When you walked into Kelly’s today, I almost blurted it out, but I couldn’t. And since you may never figure it out on your own, I'll say it here, even if it's only on paper. I think I'm falling in love with you."

Lucky: Is it true? You had no idea that Georgie was in love with you? Are you at clueless?

Spinelli: Look, I looked at the commissioner's daughter with nothing but respect and friendship. She was -- she was kind to me.

Det. Harper: So you didn't maybe want more?

Lucky: Or maybe you hacked into her computer, found out how she felt, and then came on to her. Only by then, she had changed her mind about you.

Spinelli: Look -- look, I know what you're trying to accuse me of and it is not true. I could never harm wise Georgie. Her friendship was a gift to me. I -- I cherished it. But I -- well, I -- I never knew I had the chance to cherish her. And now I never will.

[Phone rings]

Jason: Oh. Yeah? Spi-- Spinelli, I can't -- I can't even -- I can't even hear you. Well, why -- why are you calling me from a bathroom? Okay, don't -- don't say any more than you have to. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Elizabeth: Do I want to know?

Jason: Lucky and Harper are harassing Spinelli over Georgie's murder.

=====

Lucky: Harper, I think we could get a lot more out of him if we took him downtown. Come on, let's go.

Jason: Get your hands off him. He's not going anywhere. Spinelli did not kill Georgie, Lucky. This is ridiculous. He had an alibi, he was with me.

Lucky: Oh, that's convenient.

Spinelli: No, that's -- that's true. See, Stone Cold and I we were -- we were tracking the killer together.

Lucky: Do you think you know who the killer is?

=====

Jason: No, we don't know who killed Georgie. All we did was talk about who's responsible. It's probably the same person who attacked Carly and Maxie, and the same person who killed Leticia and Emily.

Lucky: Yeah, which gives you an excuse to use your underground contacts to play vigilante, or play cover-up. This is police business, so why don't you stay out of it?

Jason: Then stay on track and find out who killed my sister, and quit harassing this kid.

Det. Harper: We had a reason to be here. Spinelli obviously spent a lot of time with Georgie, especially prior to her death. We thought he could help.

Jason: Can you?

Spinelli: I would if I could.

Jason: You guys are done here.

Lucky: No, no, we're not done until we find the killer.

Spinelli: Um -- may the -- may the Jackal keep the file?

Lucky: No, it’s police evidence.

Det. Harper: They're copies. Let the kid have them.

Jason: What is that?

Spinelli: Secret pain. Wise Georgie's secret pain. You were right. She had more feelings for me than I knew. Romantic feelings. Huh. But the Jackal, the master cracker of all codes, was too blind to see it. Now I got -- I got to carry that the rest of my life. My one chance for love, gone. The only chance I'll ever get.

Jason: All right, Spinelli, you don't -- you don't know that.

Spinelli: But I -- I know this. Just as fair Lulu was too blind to see the blazing torch I carried for her for so long, so was I blind to the warm, gentle light of love that Georgie burned for me. I am twice the fool.

>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Kate: We live in different worlds.

Sonny: I can do this.

Man: I'm Julius, and you're gorgeous.

Milo: Johnny Zacchara is making a move.

Sam: We were anxious to hear what the doctor found.

Emily: Why aren't you telling them everything?
