Skye: Work with you how?

Sonny: Courtney gets returned immediately, AJ stays out of her life permanently. You make that happen for me, you have my word AJ walks away without a scratch.

Skye: But what if I can't, huh? I mean, what if I don't have as much influence over AJ as you think that I do?

Sonny: Well, then we got a problem.

Skye: What, are you telling me that you'll kill him? You know, I don't care how much power you think you have. You lay one hand on my brother, and I will make you pay. Now, I've had just about enough of this for one night, so take your threats and get the hell out of here!

Skye: Would you kindly inform this man that he'll be very sorry if he injures my brother in any way?

Jax: Threats to AJ. That's what this is about?

Sonny: AJ left town with my sister.

Jax: Yes, I know, I heard. I'm sorry about that.

Sonny: Maybe you can explain to Skye that even enemies do business with each other from time to time. I made her a generous offer in return for my sister's return, but I don't know...

Skye: You threatened my brother's life.

Sonny: No, that's not true, that's not true. I said he'd walk away clean if he brings back my sister. I told her, you know, I'm a reasonable man.

Jax: I know how you operate, Corinthos. You talk your way around things, leaving things open for interpretation. I understand you're justly concerned about Courtney, but I'm warning you, you put Skye in the middle of this, you make a move against her, and I will come after you.

Sonny: My problem is with AJ, not Skye.

Jax: Well, then I'm out of it.

Sonny: All right.

Skye: Jax?!

Sonny: If you care about your brother, which I believe you do, you will consider my offer. It's the only chance you got.

Jax: One more thing, Helena Cassadine escaped custody. I tried to convince Alexis and Kristina to go overseas with me, but of course, Alexis feels the obligation to make herself available to you. So I assume that you'll make sure that they're protected.

Sonny: Of course.

Skye: Why are you just standing there? Go after him!

Skye: I can't believe I'm hearing this! Take Sonny's offer and be grateful?! For what exactly? That he's about to hunt AJ down like a dog?

Jax: Skye, AJ isn't a child, ok? He knew exactly what he was setting off when he not only took Courtney out of town but he also, he wrote a note to brag about it. That's crossing the line.

Skye: Listen to you! You sound just like Sonny. Why don't you give Sonny a call and volunteer to execute AJ yourself? I mean, never mind that I happen to love him. Why should that matter to you, huh? And never mind that he happens to be the only person in my family who accepts me for who I am, he's not your pal, so just toss him on the garbage pile!

Jax: Skye! Skye, Skye, AJ is deliberately exploiting the sister of a dangerous man. He knew what he was doing.

Skye: Well, thank you so much for your empathy and your insights. I'll be sure to pass those along to AJ if by some chance, he comes out of this alive.

Jax: This is going nowhere. I have a club to check on and people who actually deserve my help, so...

Skye: Why did you even come here?
