Tony [ looking at Anna] I am sorry for everything I put you through. I never meant to hurt you.

Anna[ calmly] Oh I know that. I just hated being away from you all this time. We've lost to much time.

Tony [ calmly] Anna I promise that I will do everything in my power to get our lives back to normal. Well as normal as they can be with Stefano being my father. What ever happens from this day forward we'll face it together.

Anna [ concerned] What aren't you saying. What are you trying so hard not to say. Why are you trying to hide something. You shouldn't be afraid to tell me anything.

Tony [ rising to his feet] I hate to have to say this to you but I would rather it come from me than some one else.

Anna [ rising walking slowly over to him] Tony for heavens sake what is it. What's so big that you can't just say it.

Tony [ looking over at the box] I think you should look for yourself.

Anna [ digging in the box] There's nothing in here.

Tony [ coming over closer] Look closer.

Anna [ pulling out a ring box] What is this.

Tony [ calmly] Open it.

Anna [ opening the box] Tony its so beautiful.

Tony [ smiling] It was the first ring I ever gave you.

Anna [ crying] I love you.

EJ lays motionless in his bed while Sami sits beside. Sami looks a mess and her makeup is running due to crying. She feels as if she's losing her second chance she had with him.

Every opportunity she had she has lost.

Sami[ wiping her eyes] EJ you have to wake up without you. I never thought I would have to say goodbye to you. I love you to much to ever ever let you go. I'll make you a promise right now that I will never love some one the way I love you. And I will tell the children everything about you.

Interior Hospital

Daniel stands in the center between Sami, Anna and Tony.

Daniel[ calmly] There is an experimental procedure in which we take a part of relative's dead brain. We attach it to EJ'S in hopes of becoming a patch to repair the damage he has suffered.

Tony [calmly] Stefano would be a good candidate correct.

Daniel[ calmly] Yes but we would need permission. From his next of kin.

Tony [ calmly] You have it.

Anna [ calmly] Cut him open

Tony [ calmly] Yes, cut him open. We have to save EJ.

Anna[ looking at EJ] Yes we have to save him. But there is something else we have to do for him as well.

Tony[ calmly] What is it.

Anna[ walking out] I'll call you later.

Dimera Mansion

Anna walks into the living room. She goes over to the desk and finds a letter. A letter addressed to Herself and Tony.

Anna[ reading the envelope] What is this.

Anna opens the envelope to find a note written in Stefano's own blood.

Anna[ calmly] Oh my god it says I was murdered don't believe the lies for the crime I committed can be revealed in the ink. I was murdered by . Come on Stefano is that all you got. There has to be more.

Marlena[ entering the room] No Anna that's it you see I caught Stefano before he could finish his little note. I set a trap and you fell for it. To bad you're not going to get to live to regret it.

Anna[ standing in shock] Marlena put the gun down you're not well. I'll just call John

Marlena[ pointing the gun at Anna] Put he phone down Blondie. No one's going to come looking for you. Especially after you clean out Stefano's estate and leave Tony and your children behind.

Anna[ crying] I am not doing that.

Marlena[ yelling] Oh yes you are and going to start by calling up Tony boy and ending it with him flat.

Anna[ standing firm] No I won't.

Marlena[ pointing the gun at Anna] You took my daughter from me and turned my John against me. I hate you and now you will pay.

Anna( crying) I think you're blaming the wrong woman here Marlena.

Marlena( firing the gun at Anna) Shut up Anna. Just shut up.

Anna gets shot once in the shoulder.

Anna( getting out the floor) Marlena you need to stop this now.

Marlena( slapping Anna) I don't think so.

Anna( pulling Marlena down onto the floor) I don't want to hurt you.

Marlena( choking Anna with her own necklace) You won't.

Anna( throwing Marlena over the couch) Now you've had it.

Marlena( coughing) No wonder Stefano kept your child from you.

Anna( coughing) What are you talking about

Marlena starts laughing.

Fade Out.

Interior EJ's Hospital Room

EJ is still unconscious and Sami and Tony wait outside while Daniel preps EJ for Surgery. EJ flatlines and Tony holds Sami.

Daniel( calmly) Sami I'm sorry we can't do the surgery. EJ's body was just to weak to make it. We did everything we could.

Tony( holding Sami) What are you saying.

Daniel( watching them take out EJ's body) I'm saying Tony that if EJ has the surgery he'll die on the table.

Sami(firmly) Do it anyway. He deserves a chance. He deserves a shot to make it please Daniel.

Daniel(calmly) I'll have to clear it with the chief of surgery.

Sami( wiping her eyes) Tony there is something I think I should tell you.

Tony( curious) What is it Samantha?

Sami( setting down) EJ thinks you are his father but he's not sure. He does however truly believe that Stefano took him from you and Anna. He loves both of you so much. Stefano loves EJ for the same reason he took him from Anna all of those years ago.

John comes rushing in the hospital.

John( coming over to Tony) Have you seen Anna? Because Marlena came to the house and said she knew the truth and Anna was conspiring against her. I think Anna could be in real danger. Marlena left this tape recorder at the penthouse. I think you should hear this.

Tony(answering his phone) Hello Anna honey where are you?

Marlena( looking at Anna) She's a little tied up at the moment. But I'll tell her you called but I really don't think it will matter once she's sent away. Far away from your son and my daughter and my family. You two have no right to interfer. Andre warned me about you two.

Tony( hanging up) Anna is in real danger. I think marlena's been drugged. She's saying crazy things. There has to be some reason for what Marlena is saying. She would never harm anyone. We have to save Anna. And Marlena. Before its to late. What was it you wanted to tell me.

John(calmly) You need to hear this. (playing the tape Marlena's voice) Say it Stefano. I Stefano(Stefano's voice) I Stefano Dimera here by state that EJ Dimera is not my son. He is the son of Tony and Anna Dimera. I took him from his parents. I and I alone are responsible for the kidnapping of their son and the injuries sustained to anna dimera after the tornado. I take full responsibility for my actions.(screaming) I was killed by Marlena Black. She's crazy I tell you mad. ( the tape cuts off)

Tony( calmly) Marlena did not kill Stefano I promise you.
