Previously on "One Life to Live" --

Mysterio: A word such as "bourbon" can compel you to fall in love with the first person you see.

Jen: You're going to get out of here before you cause some serious damage. Come on.

Flash: Yeah, but Joe brought me here.

Jen: Yeah, right.

Dorian: It's finally time to turn the tables on Mitch.

[Captioning made possible by ABC, Inc.]

Al: This is the voice of the night. We're going retro tonight, boys and girls -- all 1980s, all night.

[Music plays]

[Flash coughs]

Riley: Hey, there's Flash.

Flash: Hey, guys.

Riley: Hey. Where you been?

Sheyne: What happened to you?

Flash: I'm so sorry that I missed our 10 minutes of fame.

Riley: Oh, it's all right. The voice of the night was there. He ran your demo. We played to it live.

J.K.: You should've heard us.

Flash: I did, on the radio.

Riley: Where were you?

Flash: I -- I was in the hospital.

Sheyne: No way.

Riley: What happened?

Flash: You remember that doctor that I used to go see? He -- he came and got me and made me go back.

Riley: You ok?

Flash: Yeah. Yeah, this -- this is no big deal.

J.K.: You don't look so good.

Flash: I'm cool, all right?

Riley: Be right back.

Riley: Ok, it's me. No secrets. What's going on?

Flash: I can't sing right now.

Riley: How come?

Flash: The doc told me I had to take it easy for a while.

Riley: Well, what's a while? A day? A week or two?

Flash: Longer. Maybe a whole lot longer.

Riley: Well, what's this mean about our gig at Ultraviolet?

Flash: It's not going to happen, Riley. Not for me anyway, ok? It's over.

Rex: Hey. How'd the opening go?

Natalie: It didn't.

Rex: Not many customers?

Natalie: Not any customers.

Roxy: Hey, are you talking about what a loser I am?

Rex: Mom, come on. You got to give it time. It's just the first day.

Natalie: Yeah, I mean, hey, why don't we just pass out those fliers that Cris and I worked so hard on?

Roxy: Oh, fliers, schmiers. They're not going to be coming in here in droves, and you know why? Because I suck at this. I suck at life, I suck at everything.

Rex: How much has she been tanking?

Roxy: Apparently, not enough. So why don't you get me something nice and strong, about 200 proof, ok?

Rex: All right, well, I'll try. What do you want? Vodka, rum? Scotch, bourbon?

[Tango music plays]

Roxy: I got to go.

Natalie: Roxy, where you going?

Roxy: The love of my life is waiting for me.

Rex: Who?

Roxy: You think I'm just going to cry about some diddly-squat little beauty parlor?

Natalie: Roxy, this is your dream!

Roxy: No, my dream is to be with my hunka-hunka burnin' love.

Rex: Yep, she's lost it.

Natalie: You think?

Rex: Well, she was teetering for a while, but now that Asa's talking about pulling the plug on this place, she's taking the dip.

Natalie: We got to do something.

Rex: Shock therapy?

Natalie: No, I think I have another idea. Let me call Cris. He can help.

Rex: Not answering?

Natalie: You know, he always has his cell phone on -- always. So then why is it turned off now?

[Music plays]

Cristian: Jess. Hey, I didn't know you were there.

Jessica: Your show isn't till next week.

Cristian: Yeah, I know, but all my stuff came in early, so I thought I'd start hanging them up.

Jessica: Where's Natalie?

Cristian: She's at the -- the grand opening, Roxy's grand opening.

Jessica: Oh, yeah. Forgot.

Cristian: You've had one or two things on your mind. How you doing?

Jessica: Better. I don't know -- Antonio says it's almost over.

Cristian: What did he say?

Jessica: Well, he says that there's enough evidence on Mitch to make it stick, and my mom -- she found some stuff that might turn this whole thing around.

Cristian: And you're optimistic?

Jessica: Maybe. I don't know. Relieved, mostly, with everything that's happened. Anyways, if it wasn't for Antonio, I would have done a lot of stupid things.

Cristian: You've helped him out, too.

Jessica: What, by fighting with him?

Cristian: Whatever. Look, you've helped him get focused, you know, after Keri and the baby died.

Jessica: Yeah, well, I can relate, you know -- with Megan.

Cristian: Yeah. Yeah, I remember.

Jessica: Anyways, it's going to take Antonio a long time.

Cristian: You've been a great friend to my brother, Jess.

Jessica: I don't think that he thinks so.  What happened between you two at Capricorn the other night? Why aren't you guys getting along? Oh -- sorry. It's none of my business.

Cristian: No. Look, it's not that. My brother, he's a great guy and a great brother and I love him to death.

Jessica: But?

Cristian: But he thinks he knows what's best for everyone.

Jessica: Tell me about it.

Cristian: And he needs to figure out what's best for him.

Antonio: Thanks, mami.

Carlotta: You hungry? That's a lot of food for one.

Antonio: Oh, no, it's actually for two. I'm taking some over to Jessica Buchanan.

Carlotta: Jessica?

Antonio: Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on her, you know, with this whole Mitch Lawrence situation.

Carlotta: Oh. That poor girl, with a man like that in her life.

Antonio: Yeah.

Carlotta: Well, don't work too hard.

Antonio: Yeah, well, work's all I got.

Carlotta: You need more than that in your life, mijo.

Antonio: I had more. Look, mami, have you seen Cristian, by any chance? Have you picked up on anything lately?

Carlotta: No, I haven't seen him much lately, either. Have you? Why?

Antonio: Uh -- just asking.

Carlotta: Natalie hasn't gotten him mixed up in anything, has she?

Antonio: No, mami, it's not Natalie. Look, and I thought you were trying to work that out.

Carlotta: Yeah, I know I promised. When I see that red hair and that false smile, I -- I'm going to work on it some more.

Antonio: Good. Good, you do that. And if you see Cris, let me know if anything seems funny.

Carlotta: Is he in any kind of trouble?

Antonio: No, I hope not. I love you. Bendicion.

Carlotta: Love you, too. Dios te bendiga.

Dorian: There you go. Come on, come on. Come -- No, no, no, no -- come on. Hey, Lindsay? Lindsay, come on, it's all right. Good girl. Yeah, look. Look, look, look, look, look!

Lindsay: What is this place?

Dorian: Well, it's a theater. This is actually where Mitch brought Blair when he held her hostage. It's his sick sense of drama..

Lindsay: It gives me the creeps.

Dorian: Get used to it, ok, because we're going to be here for a while.

Lindsay: Why are we here?

Dorian: Because this is where Mitch tortured Blair.

Lindsay: Ah. So -- so you think that this would be the last place that he would look to find ?

Dorian: No, no, no. I think that this is where I want him to find us.

Lindsay: You want him to find us?

Dorian: Absolutely. How better to lure him to where we can finish what we started?

Blair: Don't you even think about it, Dorian. 

[Music plays]

Sheyne: You going to be all alright?

Flash: Yeah, as long as I take care of the cords. At least, that's what doc says, anyhow.

J.K.: Can't sing at all?

Flash: It hurts too much, J.K. I mean, I don't want to screw myself up more than I already have.

Sheyne: So where does that leave the band?

Riley: I mean, even if Gannon gets this place up -- the Ultraviolet place -- up in at least a month or so, we can forget about the house band gig.

Flash: What? No.

Riley: They hired us for you, Flash.

Flash: No, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to let this thing with me mess up everything for you guys.

Riley: But if you're not fronting us --

Flash: Then find someone who can. Get another voice.

Natalie: Hey, everybody. Listen up. There's an opening tonight at Foxy Roxy's. We got free prizes and -- and we got free drinks and free food. And you know what? For the first 10 people that show up, free makeover. Oh, yeah, and free beer, no I.D.S

Woman: I'm there.

Second woman: Me, too!

Third woman: Where's it at?

Natalie: Let's go.

Woman: This is cool.

[Tango music plays]

Rex: Hey, hey, hey, where you going?

Roxy: I told you.

Rex: Yeah, but you didn't tell me who this secret lover of yours is.

Roxy: I don't have any time right now. He's waiting for me.

Rex: No, no, you can't go yet!

Roxy: And why not?

Rex: Uh -- how about a drink?

Roxy: No, train's leaving the station. Got to go.

Rex: Ok, now I'm worried. Hey. Hello? You all right, mom?

[Rex whistles]

[Tango music stops]

Roxy: What's going on?

Rex: You tell me.

Roxy: And where's that big drink I asked you to give me?

Rex: You said you didn't want one.

Roxy: Oh, yeah, right. Are you missing a screw or something?

Rex: Hey, now, see, that's my Roxy. I'll get it for you right now.

Roxy: And don't be stingy about it.

Rex: Of course not, no.

[Phone rings]

Roxy: Foxy Roxy's.

Nigel: Oh, thank goodness I finally tracked you down, my dearest. Didn't you get my message?

Roxy: What message?

Nigel: Oh, well, your train for Atlantic City -- it leaves in half an hour. Then it's on to the midnight chapel of love for our wedding.

Roxy: Wrong number, pal.

Rex: Hey, who was that?

Roxy: Oh, some nut job who wants to marry me.

Renee: Asa, would I make this up? I overheard Roxy and Nigel planning to come here to get married.

Asa: If I didn't believe you, Renee, do you think I'd have flown you down here in my chopper in the middle of the night?

Nigel: Must've been a bad connection.

Nigel: Oh, Mr. Buchanan.

Asa: What in the hell do you think you're doing here, hm?

Jessica: You know, I just thought that if I could help -- Antonio.

Antonio: Hey. Am I interrupting something?

Jessica: No. Cristian's just trying to get a head start on his show.

Cristian: Yeah, and I'm going to get going. I'll do the rest tomorrow.

Jessica: But remember our deal -- that's the only portrait that's allowed of me up on the show.

Cristian: No worries. Look, I'll hang, like, 10 of Natalie.

Jessica: Ok.

Cristian: Bye.

Jessica: Tell Natalie I said hi.

Antonio: Hey, Cris, we need to talk.

Cristian: Later.

Antonio: I -- I brought you some food. I figured you hadn't eaten since breakfast.

Jessica: Thanks. I guess you two guys didn't make up.

Antonio: No, far from it. Look, I think he might be trying to -- all right, forget it. What were you guys talking about?

Jessica: Just stuff. Any word from Mitch?

Antonio: Not yet.

[Phone rings]

Antonio: Excuse me. Vega.

Antonio: Yeah, no, go ahead. Yeah, all right. No, we're on it. Good. Lindsay's missing from St. Ann's.

Jessica: Do you think --

Antonio: No. Look, I doubt it was Lawrence. They said she was escorted out by a female doctor. First guess -- Dorian Lord.

Jessica: What do you think that's about?

Antonio: Well, sounds to me like Lindsay and Dorian are in on something. Whatever it is, can't be good.

Dorian: Blair, I thought you were in Savannah.

Blair: Well, now I'm back. And I thought I would stop off and see mama, and guess who I saw leaving the parking lot at St. Ann's? You. And I followed you, Dorian. I cannot believe that you would come here. Why?

Dorian: I know it must bring up some very painful memories for you, so maybe you'd better leave.

Blair: You know what, it does, Dorian. I am going to leave.

Dorian: Just -- ow.

Blair: What -- what's wrong?

Dorian: It's nothing. It's really nothing.

Lindsay: She was shot.

Blair: Shot?

Dorian: No, I was just grazed. It's nothing.

Blair: Who shot you?

Dorian: Well, we don't know.

Lindsay: She thinks it was one of Mitch's followers.

Blair: What?

Dorian: Lindsay, please, will you let me handle this part?

Blair: Dorian. Mitch tried to kill you?

Dorian: Well, let's just say he's a bit annoyed at our family's agenda.

Blair: Oh, terrific. That's just terrific.

Dorian: But we are not going to let that stop us from doing what has to be done.

Blair: You know what, you've completely lost it, Dorian. That's what I realized when I was holding my beautiful children in Savannah -- you've lost it.

Dorian: Really?

Blair: Yes.

Dorian: It so happens that if we destroy Mitch, then you can be with your children all the time!

Blair: Oh, well, not if I'm dead! He tried to kill you, for God's sake, Dorian, and he'll do it!

Dorian: Listen to me -- he is not going to kill me. And don't you go soft on me! That is not what Cramer women do!

Blair: Don't you give me that Cramer women stuff. You are the only Cramer woman that wants anything to do with this, Dorian.

Dorian: Oh, really?

Blair: Yes.

Dorian: Well, you are part of this, my dear, whether you want to be or not. Because if we don't take Mitch out, he takes us.

Blair: I will go into hiding if I have to.

Dorian: Oh --

Blair: Because I cannot risk it, Dorian. I have my children to think about. They already have one parent to bring them up because of Mitch Lawrence.

Dorian: Are you saying that you have accepted the fact that Todd is dead?

Blair: I don't want to, Dorian. But you know what, I guess I have to.

Dorian: You're going to let Mitch get away with that?

Blair: I am not going to die to get revenge, ok? And I'm sorry, Lindsay. If you were smart, you would leave with me now before it's too late.

Dorian: Lindsay? It's already too late.

Lindsay: Uh --

[Door closes]

Lindsay: What are we doing here? Because I -- I think she's right. I --

Dorian: No, no, no, wait. Wait, wait. I will take you back to St. Ann's.

Lindsay: No.

Dorian: Yes, yes, yes. You say you want to be safe from Mitch? If you feel safer there, fine. I will take you. But you know something? Even if you're safe from Mitch there, what about your daughter? Didn't I hear that Mitch tried to kill Jen at one time?

Lindsay: Ok. So, what do we do next?

Dorian: We make Mitch come to us. keeps them from sticking together.

Al: No, you're not dreaming. It's the 1980s one more time. The voice of the night is here, and more of the best of the 1980s just around the corner, maybe coming right through your door.

[Music plays]

[People shout at once]

Natalie: What do you guys think?

Woman: Cool place.

Second woman: Check out these balloons!

Natalie: What do you think, Roxy?

Roxy: What did you put in this?

Rex: Mom, you're not seeing things. Natalie did this.

Roxy: How?

Natalie: Well, I told you -- you just got to talk to people. Find as much beer as you can that she's got stashed here.

Rex: Right.

Roxy: Ok, well, who's ready for Foxy Roxy's magic touch?

Woman: I am!

Second woman I am!

Mysterio: And now, the mysterious Mysterio.

Asa: What the hell is all this nonsense about you marrying Roxy?

Nigel: I haven't the vaguest notion what you're talking about, sir.

Asa: I have eyes and ears all over this place.

Nigel: They wouldn't by any chance have red hair, would they?

Renee: I did it for your own good, Nigel.

Nigel: My own good? Roxanne is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Asa: Whoa! You're -- you're admitting this?

Nigel: Yes, I admit it. I love her. "I love her for her smile, her look, her way of speaking gently, for a trick of thought --"

Asa: Whoa, whoa! Your brain is -- is, like, playing tricks. You -- you can't think that way. It's not you.

Mysterio: Hypnosis is really quite simple.

Nigel: Miss Roxanne is on her way here now. We are going to be joined in matrimony, and there is not one thing you or anyone can do to stop us.

Mysterio: With the power of suggestion and a swinging watch --

Asa: Are you out of your cotton-picking mind?

Mysterio: The mind transcends --

Asa: You're going to throw your whole life away for that -- that bimbo? She's rude, crude, and loves the bottle.

Mysterio: The sound of my voice. A simple, harmless word like "jaguar" can compel you to fall deeply, madly in love with the first person you see. Then only the sound of an old song like "melancholy baby" will awaken you. Come to me my melancholy baby and when you awaken, you will have no memory of your love affair whatsoever.

Woman: Excuse me -- Mysterio?

Mysterio: Someone left their lights on in the parking lot, license plate number 2-m-y-s-- wait a minute. That's my new jaguar.

[Harp plays]

Asa: Nigel, you haven't heard a damn word I said.

[Music plays]

Cristian: Did you do all this?

Natalie: Wasn't anybody to help me.

Cristian: Ok, what's going on?

Natalie: Not now.

Cristian: Yes, now. Can you excuse us for a minute? What's going on?

Natalie: Where were you tonight, Cristian?

Cristian: I told you -- I was at the gallery.

Natalie: Yeah, well, I called there. No answer. And I called my grandfather and he's in Atlantic City, so you weren't working. And your cell phone was off.

Cristian: I forgot to turn my cell phone on. I don't pick up the phone at the gallery.

Natalie: Then how was I supposed to know that you were there?

Cristian: What, you don't believe me?

Natalie: Well, I want to, but the way you've been acting lately --

[Phone rings]

Natalie: Better get that.

Cristian: Hello?

Cole: It's Cole. Meet me in an hour. You know where.

Cristian: Not a good time.

Natalie: Who was that?

Cristian: Nobody.

Natalie: Oh, I think it was somebody -- somebody that you don't want me to know about. Now, what the hell is going on?

Joey: What are you doing?

Antonio: I need to go follow up on this business with Lindsay.

Jessica: Ok. Well, thanks for thinking about me with the food and everything.

Antonio: Well, I wouldn't want you to go hungry. Look, maybe you'd better leave with me.

Jessica: You know, I have to close here, so --

Antonio: I can wait.

Jessica: It's ok.

Antonio: I don't mind.

Jessica: You still don't trust me. That's really why you came here tonight.

Antonio: No.

Jessica: When is this babysitting and following around going to stop?

Antonio: It has.

Jessica: Prove it.

Antonio: Ok. Ok, fine, stay. But don't stay too long.

Jessica: Ok.

Antonio: And watch your back.

Jessica: Yes, boss.

Antonio: And --

Jessica: Yes?

Antonio: Just be careful, Jessica.

Jessica: Ok.

[Noise]

[Radio turns off]

Jessica: Antonio?

[Noise]

[Music plays]

Patrons: Whoa!

Roxy: Ok, who's my next victim?

Rex: So my mom's got a place upstairs, and there's nobody home.

Woman: Let's go.

[Phone rings]

Rex: I'll keep it short.

[Ring]

Rex: Talk to me. Yeah. When? Yeah, don't worry. No, we'll be there in an hour. Both of us. I'll make sure of it. All right. Later, ok?

Cristian: Look, Natalie, if you don't believe that I was at the gallery, then --

Natalie: Babe, I want to believe you, but I don't understand why you're keeping things from me.

Cristian: It's got nothing to do with you.

Natalie: You sure?

Cristian: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. You got to trust me on this one.

Natalie: Trust you? I mean, how about trusting me enough to tell me?

Cristian: I don't want to worry you, ok?

Natalie: Are you in some kind of trouble?

Cristian: I'm helping Antonio, undercover.

Natalie: What?

Cristian: Don't worry, it's not dangerous. But you can't say a word. Now, please, don't ask me about it anymore.

Woman: Let's get this party really going. Bourbon?

Roxy: I got to go. I got to see my honeybunch.

Woman: Hello? I don't think I'm done yet.

Natalie: Roxy, where you going?

Roxy: I'm getting on that love train, the chapel of love.

Asa: I've had enough of this. Roxy's a no-show.

Nigel: Who?

Asa: "Who"? The dimwit blond you were going to elope with. Do me a favor -- call the heliport and get the chopper ready.

Nigel: Hmm?

Asa: Oh, hell, I'll do it myself. Oh, damn. Can't even get a signal. I'm -- I'm going to see if I can get one on the boardwalk.

Riley: I think we should hold off longer before we try to find another singer.

Sheyne: Yeah, you're going to get better.

Flash: Who knows when? And, what, you guys go scratching till then?

J.K.: That's our call.

Flash: I'll help you find somebody else. You guys might like her even better.

Riley: Not a chance.

Flash: I just don't want you guys to miss out.

Riley: Hey, we don't want you to, either. All right? We'll make this work, Flash. We're a band. We sit together. Nobody gets left behind. Hey, come on, let's hit the diner.

Flash: I'll meet you.

[Flash coughs]

Jen: No, no. What's the matter?

Joey: You know exactly what's the matter!

Jen: What I know is that you want this just as much as I  do.

Joey: Oh, that is not the issue here.

Jen: That's totally the issue.

Joey: You stepped over the line tonight, Jen.

Jen: Oh, come on. You expect me to believe you were sleeping the whole time?

Joey: Look, you've been through a lot, ok? I mean, losing your dad, and then your mom being sick, and -- you need help.

Jen: Don't do that. Don't hide behind it.

Joey: I'm not!

Jen: There's something going on between us, and I know you felt it, too. So don't lie to me. Don't lie to yourself.

Joey: Uh -- it would be -- you need to be dressed and gone by the time I get back.

Woman: What happened to Foxy Roxy?

Second woman: She left me with half a hairdo!

Third woman: There's nothing left to drink.

Natalie: What's going on?

Rex: Ok, you've got to do some major crowd control.

Natalie: Me? What --

Rex: Yeah, I got to go.

Woman: What happened to the rest of my makeover?

Second woman: Yeah!

Rex: Cole wants to do a dry run tonight.

Cristian: Sorry, can't do it. Bro, maybe you can bail out on Natalie, but I can't.

Rex: Ok, Cole is not too happy about the way you blew him off. He made it very clear. If you're not there, you're off the job.

[Music plays]

Jen: Just a little something to remember me by.

Joey: I'm having a tough time here, lord. Really tough. I could use a little help.

Lindsay: Is she all right? You don't think we gave her an overdose, do you?

Dorian: Jessica?

Jessica: What's going on?

Dorian: Jessica, can you understand me?

Jessica: What did you do to me? What's going on?

Dorian: I only did what has to be done. And your father is the one to blame. Mitch is the one who changed the rules. And he's got to be stopped, so I am sure that you want that as much as we do.

Jessica: I know what you want. You want everything that belongs to my mother. It's what you've always wanted. And I'm not going to help you get it.

Dorian: I didn't say that you would necessarily want to help.

[Music plays]

[Knock on door]

Flash: Rev? Hello?

Flash: Hello?

Joey: I understand where Jen is coming from. She's in pain. She reached out to me. And I wanted to help. I mean, I really wanted to ease her pain. But instead, I took advantage of it. I went right up to the edge, lord, and it took everything I had not to go over.

Asa: Where did my butler and that redhead go?

Mysterio: They seem to have vanished. Does this mean the wedding's off?

Asa: I don't think there's ever going to be one. But I'm going to tell you something. There's something mighty fishy going on.

Mysterio: Well, don't look at me. Disappearing acts aren't part of my repertoire.

Roxy: Hey, Nige, I'm here. Where's Nige?

Asa: That's what we'd like to know.

Dorian: All right, Lindsay. Now make it very good.

Lindsay: Hello, Mitch. It's me. That's right, I'm alive and well. And I've got your precious daughter.

Stay tuned for scenes from the next "One Life to Live."

On the next "One Life to Live" --

Roxy: You're cheating on me with her?

Nigel: I couldn't help myself.

Flash: What you and Jen do -- that's -- that's your business.

Antonio: It's chloroform.

Lindsay: Make it quick, Mitch, otherwise your beloved Jessica is going to die.
