The Marines Have Arrived

Ho and Dope are at the Devereaux house. There is a breakthrough in the search for the boys, but Tony DiMera is alive and holding them hostage.

Billie barges in. Hope tells Billie, “You do not belong here, especially since this is your fault.”

Mimi and Belle wait for news. Belle refuses to think about losing any of them. If John can find out where they are he can figure out a way to rescue them.

John is downloading images. Roman can’t figure out how Tony survived. John grits his teeth, “It’s all a game to him – our lives, the kids’ lives. This time he’s not going to win because that sick bastard is in for the shock of his life. He’ll wake up some morning, watch Days Of Our Lives, and find out it’s turned into interesting, fast-paced drama.”

Tony is at his computer. “The fun is just beginning, Bart. I’m sure John is using the ISA satellite to find us. I’m diverting the source signal so we can’t be traced. If they want to see their loved ones one last time I can arrange that for them.”

Bart asks, “Are you really going through with this, boss?”

“Of course I am,” says Tony, “and the great thing is the person who has helped us is Roman and Marlena's daughter.”

Bart says, “I think we got a problem boss.”

The boys hide as Sami comes into their cell.

“Let me explain, OK,” says Sami.

“No,” says Lucas, “I think I know exactly why you’re here.”

Tony tells Bart Sami is under tight security, “She has committed so many crimes on my behalf, I’m not worried about her. It’s John Black I’m worried about. It looks like he’s picking up on a weak signal.”

John says he just about has the satellite feed.

Kate asks if Tony would hurt the boys. Roman says, “That’s why John has to locate the place.”
In times of crisis, Kate knows just what to say, “Shawn is responsible for this.”

Roman says Shawn didn’t have anything to do with Phillip being taken hostage, and he risked his life to go over there.

Marlena says, “We have to pray they come home alive.”

John gives the play-by-play, “I have to alter the encryption, establish a video link and play Tetris at the same time.”

Lucas says, “Tony must have taken Sami prisoner too. DiMera hits people when they are most vulnerable. When the wedding fell through, she was shaken up. Is that it, Sami, is that why you disappeared?”

The others are wwaayy skeptical about Sami.

Sami explains, “I saw the guards loading their weapons and heard Tony’s plan, so I knocked out a guard and stole his keys. Guys you have to believe me. I’m on your side. I wouldn’t let anything happen to you Lucas. Please say you believe me.”

Brady says he has a lot of questions for Sami.

Sami pulls out a gun. The boys give out a collective, “WHOA,” and back off.

“Put it away, Sami,” says Lucas.

Billie wants to know how long Hope is going to harp on this. Hope has a PhD in harping. It could be awhile.

Hope harps, “If you hadn’t dragged Bo off, Shawn would still be here.”

Bo and Hope argue.

Jennifer asks Billie to leave. Jack defends her, “She has three brothers over there.”

Bo steps up. John and Roman are on the case. But we might get the boys home anyway.

Belle is on the phone. Marlena has told her about Tony. They are praying John‘s rescue plan works.

“This is unbelievable,” says Mimi, “What the hell?”

Belle says Tony has made it his mission in life to hurt them. “My dad’s going to stop him. He's going to put an end to this monster once and for all.”

Tony sends a signal to the satellite. That way John won’t be able to locate them, “John still wants to play the hero but I have a few surprises up my sleeve.”

Tony and Bart see the unconscious guard on the monitor.

Sami says she got the gun from the guard. She shows them a bruise the guard gave her, “Now do you believe me?” She hands Phillip the gun, “Phillip get us out of here.” Brady is still skeptical.

John can’t get the location. Tony is blocking him. They see images – thermogographical dots. He thinks he’s seeing the boys. They’re all there and still alive. Marlena sees six dots. They pan in, “What the hell,” says John, “That figure appears to be a female. Mass – 115 pounds.”

“That sounds like Sami,” says Marlena, “It has to be her since she’s the only 115 pound woman in the world.”

“Doc,” says Roman, “You don’t think...”

“Of course not. How could it be,” says Marlena.

Mimi wonders if John can do this. Belle assures her he can. Mimi is really scared but this has taken her mind off of spending the rest of her life behind bars.

Belle gets a call. Marlena says the hostages are all still alive. Oh, the joy! Marlena tells her they suspect that Sami is there too.

“How can that be,” asks Belle, “How did she wind up over there?”

Marlena says, “We don’t’ get it either, but when we have answers well get back to you.”

Marlena hangs up, “Oh Sami, what have you gotten into now?”

On the phone Roman tells Bo about Sami. Bo announces this to the crowd, “Roman isn’t sure how she got there.”

Jack gets a link on his computer from John. The Devereaux crowd watches.

Tony looks concerned as he watches the group in the jail cell, “Samantha has made a fatal mistake. She’s going to pay dearly. Bart, double the guards. They will never get out of here.”

The boys dis Stan. They give Phillip back his dog tags. Sami flashes back to her conversation with Tony. When they find out Sami was Stan they will never forgive her.

Brady asks if Sami has a key. They’re ready to bust out. As they leave, Sami pulls Lucas back, “Why did you defend me? Maybe you’re thinking again about us?”

Shawn and Rex sneak through the corridors. Shawn tells him he doesn’t trust Sami. The guards stop them.

Phillip and Brady go down another corridor.

One of the goons says, “Call the boss. Tell him we’ve got a situation, but we’re going to take care of it.” Rex and Shawn stand with their hands up.

Shawn overcomes one of the guards. They fight as the other guard covers Rex.

The Devereaux crowd watches.

“If that is Sami, her presence can only mean trouble,” says Billie. Seems Billie knows how to make trouble herself.

“Can you try not to make things worse,” asks Hope. Jennifer asks Jack to intervene. He takes Billie out for air.

Outside, Billie says, “Nicely done, Jack. Jennifer wanted me out of there. Are you OK?”

“I’m fine,” says Jack, “I’m worried about you. There’s something else isn’t there? Tell me the truth. You followed Bo over here, didn’t you?” Billie stares.

Jennifer is making herb tea and biscuits. That’ll fix everything.

Bo assures Hope everything that can be done is being done.

Hope laces into Bo, “Shawn didn’t have to be there, did he? If something happens to him I’ll never be able to forgive you.”

Belle wonders how Sami got over there. Mimi, like the rest of us, stopped trying to figure out Sami long ago, “The ISA, John Black and the Marines have been searching for the guys, but somehow Sami has managed to get over there. Is it possible she has gotten in with Tony?”

“No way,” says Belle, “She wouldn’t make that mistake again.”

Sami asks Lucas if they could have a future again. He wants answers. He wants to know who Stan is.

Bart tells Tony the prisoners have escaped.

“There is only one thing to do, now,” says Tony, “Blow up the island - I mean bunker.” Tony walks out. Bart says “Bye-bye boys, bye-bye Sami, bye-bye Bart.”

Shawn wrestles the gun away from the guard. The other guard says he will shoot Rex. Standoff!

Phillip and Brady sneak. Shawn turns and fires as Rex drops his jaw.

John still isn’t getting a signal.

Kate wonders how Sami got mixed up in this, “She must be up to no good. If she is there, she isn’t with the Red Cross.”

John stands up for Sami. Sami was on the edge when she disappeared. Roman thinks Sami is in just as much danger as the rest of them.

John may be getting a lock on the bunker.

Kate says, “When the smoke clears, we’ll find out Sami had a hand in all of this. If the boys trust Sami we'll all be sorry.”

Sami asks Lucas if he can see anything. He doesn’t respond. She’s somehow lost him. She sneaks around. Bart comes out into the hall. They both reel as they bump into each other. She asks Bart not to turn her in. He tells her she is in major trouble, but he thinks she did the right thing, “The count is losing it. He’s out for blood. Everybody’s dead meat. When the guys find out you were Stan, you can expect some serious misery.”

The boys all have surrounded the guards. Tony rushes up and grabs Brady. He holds a gun on him and tells Phillip, “You can be the one to see Brady die first.”

Roman asks if John gets the location can a rescue team get there in time.

Billie insists she didn’t come here because of Bo, “I’ll just get out of here. Hope doesn’t want me here and, frankly, for good reason.” She flashes back to the love pit.

Jack asks if she wants to talk about it.

“No, see you later.”

Jack swerves.

Billie asks him, “Jack, what’s wrong.”

Hope is scared. In a gripping turn of events, Jennifer comes in with tea. Bo reassures Hope.

Belle calls Marlena for more news. Marlena gives her the latest. Belle updates Mimi, “they’re getting close to pinpointing the location.”

“What about Sami,” asks Mimi, “I can’t help but think she’s up to no good.”

Sami finds the room with her Stan disguise. She flashes back to her traitorous moment. She takes something out of the pocket and stuffs the uniform into a box.

Lucas finds her and wants to know how she knows so much about his place.

Phillip points a gun at Tony, “Drop it. You’re outnumbered.”

Tony says, “Shoot my colleagues and me but know that Brady dies as well!”

Sami and Lucas join the happy scene. Another standoff. “Thanks to Sami,” says Tony, “I have you all outgunned. Drop the gun, Phillip.”

“I am a United States Marine,” says Phillip, “I don’t take orders form you.”

Tony points his gun, “Semper Fi or Semper Morte, always dead,” asks Tony.

Billie helps Jack to a bench. Jack faints.

The rest are huddled around a computer.

Belle and Mimi pray. “Dear God,” says Mimi, “please protect the men we love.”

Belle adds, “And my sister, bring her home safely.”

John got the satellite feed back. Thermogeographical dots. “What the hell,” John says, “it looks like four of them are armed.” The feed goes out again.

Bo announces, “We lost it again.”

“It didn’t look good,” says Hope.

Kate says, “My sons are going to die.”

“Sami, my little girl,” whimpers Marlena.

“I hope Sami burns in hell,” says Kate.

Bart sets the bomb to go off.

“I am a Marine,” says Phillip, “And I will die before I take orders form you.”

THE MARINES HAVE ARRIVED! “Good work, Kiriakis,” says the commander.

“May I have the honor,” asks Phillip. He takes Tony’s gun and slugs him.

The leader says they had planted tracking devices on the guys, “What you guys did was reckless and irresponsible, but without you, we wouldn’t have found Phillip.”

The guys ask where Stan is.

Tony says, “Stan is here.”

“Where,” they ask in unison.

FF on Sami, known as Stan in some circles.

Lucas says, “Promise me you’ll tell me. I want the truth.” Sami says, “Lucas, I swear, I will do anything it takes to get your trust back.”

On the phone, Shawn tells Belle, “I’m going to tell Phillip the truth about us.” Belle snaps back, “No, you can’t!”

“I’m afraid I've got some bad news,” says John. Marlena, Kate and Roman turn. He has their attention now.

“Dammit,” says Jack as palsy sets in, “What’ s wrong with me?”

Hope says, “I just want to pick up the pieces and start living like a family again, OK,” Bo says, “That’s exactly what we are going to do.”
