General Hospital Transcript Friday 1/4/08

====


Mac: What the hell are you two doing?

Lucky: Nothing.

Mac: Is the text-message killer in lockup? No. Is Sonny Corinthos doing 20 to life? No, I don't think so. Here's an easier one. Where is Georgie's autopsy report?

Det. Harper: Still with the coroner. I'll -- I'll go check on it.

Mac: Do that. And you?

Lucky: You know what? I'm going to go see if the lab has anything else.

Felicia: Let me help you.

Mac: You did. You came home.

Felicia: Maxie wishes I hadn’t.

Mac: Give her time.

Felicia: Mac, it's too little too late.

Mac: Felicia, she is hurt and upset. We all are.

Felicia: I want to do something. You know I still have my P.I. license. I want to work this case around the edges. I want to -- I want to help you catch the psychopath who murdered my daughter.

Det. Harper: Mac. We may have another victim. A girl's been found strangled.

====

Det. Harper: Some kid saw her in the back seat of a burned-out sedan in the salvage yard on Fourth. She had a phone cord wrapped around her neck.

Mac: It sounds like our man. All right, get a full team down there. I want a clean scene, no screw-ups.

Det. Harper: All right. I'm on it.

Lucky: Mac. These are from the lab. They're blow-up shots of the footprints we found. They're walking away from where they found Georgie.

Mac: What do they tell us?

Lucky: Make, model, shoe, tread design. Maybe if we had a size we could place a suspect at the scene.

Felicia: Unless they were taken immediately after they were made, you're not going to get any absolutes on the sizes. Tracks in the snow expand and contract with changes in time or temperature.

Mac: Excuse us.

Felicia: What? I'm trying to help you. What is it?

Mac: Felicia, sit down. I thought you had other obligations.

Felicia: My responsibilities to Frisco can wait. Georgie was his daughter, too.

Mac: You're too close to this.

Felicia: And you're not? Mac, the rest of my life I have to live with the fact that it took the death of one of my daughters to bring me home.

Maxie: It's a little late to be playing hero to Georgie or any of the rest of us, don't you think?

=====

Coop: Hey.

Maxie: Hi.

Coop: Hey, are you okay?

Maxie: Yeah. Um -- I just needed a place to hide for a minute. This is good.

Coop: Well, I have to get down to the station, but I can call in.

Maxie: No, no. I'm going to be fine. Uh -- I really want you to find out who killed my sister.

Coop: I will, all right? I promise.

Spinelli: You know, wise Georgie would want you to be more careful.

Maxie: About what?

Spinelli: Look, the Jackal's already said too much, but I -- I just wish that --

Maxie: Spit it out, Spinelli.

Spinelli: When your loyal little sister needed my protection, I was negligent to my utter and eternal dismay. She confided things in me.

Maxie: You must be talking about her idea that Coop was the text-message killer.

Spinelli: Well, had she confided other things in me, she might still be alive today.

Maxie: Or maybe if you had the brains enough to realize how my sister felt about you, or maybe if my mom ever took five minutes to give a damn. Maybe if I wasn't so self-absorbed!

Spinelli: Um, this is most unwise. It will not bring wise Georgie back to any of --

Maxie: We have no right to go on acting like my sister did not die! She laid there, Spinelli, broken! Everything should be broken!

Lucky: Hey, hey, hey, hey, Maxie, Maxie --

Maxie: No! Get away from me!

Lucky: Hey, Maxie, Maxie -- shh.

Maxie: I just want to see my sister!

Lucky: Shh.

Maxie: I just want to see my sister!

Lucky: Shh, it's okay.

=====

Lucky: I brought her down here before anyone called the police. I talked to Mike -- he's not pressing charges.

Mac: Thank you.

Felicia: Thank you.

Coop: Hey, I heard. Do you need anything?

Johnny: Somebody want to tell me what the hell this is all about?

Mac: New evidence. Even though she's dead, it looks like Georgie's going to be able to identify the text-message killer.

=====

>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Mac: Forensics found skin cells under Georgie's fingernails.

Jason: We can meet at the safe house later.

Sam: Go ahead, go sneak off and see him.

Carly: What do you want?

Sam: It's about Jason -- and Jake’s father.
