ANOTHER WORLD TODAY EPISODE #143-1

“You are my heart,” Carl told Rachel, instead. “Being asked to walk away is akin to being asked to leave it behind.”

“No.” Rachel shook her head. “It’s a fair trade. Because you’re leaving with mine.”

He asked, “Do you believe that which your children accuse me of? Do you believe that I am a danger to them and to their loved ones?”

Rachel hesitated. A beat too long for Carl’s taste. “I believe that you have the potential. I believe that if the motivation were strong enough, you are still, as before, capable of just about anything.”

Carl inhaled sharply. The unvarnished truth when you’d been expecting a familiar platitude was a bit of a shock to the system. “Are you saying that…”

“Let’s not insult each other’s intelligence, Carl,” Rachel’s voice was neither acrimonious nor accusing, merely realistic. “You helped Lucas frame Donna for Cecile’s murder, which almost landed Jamie in jail for thirty years. You deliberately toyed with Marley’s sanity, knowing she was unstable, which led to Lorna’s accident and who knows what down the line for Devon. You started a mob war in order to cover your tracks. Kirkland was kidnapped and Spencer killed as a result. You are a very dangerous man, and I would be foolish to pretend otherwise.”
