EJ is revealed to be the kidnapper (with the help of Anna). More Sydnapping stuff.
EJ: Samantha, look, you need to say calm. All right, just--just stay calm. (January 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Hey. She's healthy. She's safe. I'm gonna get the $5 million. I promise you, Samantha, I'm gonna get our baby back. (January 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Hey. She's healthy. She's safe. I'm gonna get the $5 million. I promise you, Samantha, I'm gonna get our baby back. (January 5)
EJ: Hello, sweetheart. You've got some new teeth. You have any idea how much I missed you? You bet your Daddy loves you. Those boots were a nice touch. (January 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Samantha, you have wonderful maternal instincts.
Sami: [Huffs] Yeah, thanks. [Huffs] Look, whatever instinct I have, EJ, is just telling me to get her back. It's just telling me to protect Sydney and--and to take care of her and to give her a good stable, happy home life. You know, I-I just want what's best for her.
EJ: I know. That's exactly what I want. (January 8)

EJ: I know. That's exactly what I want. (January 8)
EJ: Hey, sweetheart. Daddy's gotta go. But I'm gonna be back really soon...okay? And then we're gonna be together. Forever this time. (January 11)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look, it's really important to me that you know that you can trust me. (January 11)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: It's bath time for you, buddy!
EJ: Oh, I think it's my turn!
Sami: Oh! You sure?
EJ: Yeah, ohh, I am an expert in baths. Now, let's see, what are we gonna do? [Gasps] Why don't we strap you to the roof of the car and put you through the car wash? Should we do that?
Johnny: No!
EJ: No?
Sami: What?
EJ: Wait a second, I know what we can do. We can put you in the washing machine.
Johnny: No!
EJ: Yeah! Oh, yes!
Johnny: No!
EJ: What do you wanna do?
Johnny: Go in the bath.
EJ: The bathtub? Agh! Ohh, that's horrible. (January 11)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: He fell asleep during his favorite book?
EJ: Mm-hmm, he did. That must be about the sixth time I've read that to him.
Sami: Six times tonight, huh? You really are a sucker for your kids. (January 11)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: 'Cause I know that you just want what's best for them. You want them to be safe.
EJ: Same as you.
Sami: I mean, I--I believe that, EJ. I believe that you--you care about them, that--that they're the most important thing in the world to you.
EJ: Of course they are. (January 11)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I know that sounds strange, but basically, when you told me earlier that I could tell him... that's what really gave me the opportunity to--to think about what's best for Sydney. And what'll get her back to us safely. And so I think you're right. I think we shouldn't tell Rafe. When you let me make that decision... I just want you to know, I really do trust you.
EJ: You can, Samantha. You always can. (January 11)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look, it's really important to me that you know that you can trust me. (January 11)

EJ: You can, Samantha. You always can. (January 11)
EJ: My beautiful baby girl-- look, she's walking. She's standing. This is it, Anna. This is what makes it all worthwhile. This is the reason I do this... so I can be there for these firsts. I didn't get them with Johnny, you know? But with this child, with this child... my pleasure's not gonna be undermined by certain other people, you know?
Anna: Your father and Nicole and Sami.
EJ: All of them... they forfeited the right to participate in my daughter's life. I get these firsts this time. I get them. I get them. Come here, sweetheart. Come to Daddy. [Gasps] Ohh. Look at you. That's very clever. Did you figure out how to do that on your own, hmm? That's very clever. (January 15)
Anna: Your father and Nicole and Sami.
EJ: All of them... they forfeited the right to participate in my daughter's life. I get these firsts this time. I get them. I get them. Come here, sweetheart. Come to Daddy. [Gasps] Ohh. Look at you. That's very clever. Did you figure out how to do that on your own, hmm? That's very clever. (January 15)
EJ: Samantha, I can understand why you worry about those things, but we just have to have hope and have faith, okay? We have to know that everything is going to turn out all right. (January 20)
EJ: Samantha, stop this, all right? You cannot blame yourself. You had to make an incredibly difficult decision, okay? I felt incredibly conflicted about the same one. It was probably unfair of me to ask you to make the final call.
Sami: I appreciated it. I just know that I let Sydney down. I let you down. (January 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ:Samantha, listen to me. I'm gonna find our daughter, and I am never gonna stop. You understand? Never gonna stop looking. I'll tell you something else. I'm not playing by these rules anymore. I'm not playing by her rules. I'm not playing by his rules. I'm playing by nobody's rules. I'm gonna hunt this woman down if it is the last thing I do. (January 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami to Rafe: The DiMeras are powerful, all right? You might not like it, but it's gonna help us find our daughter. And when it comes to Sydney, I trust him. (January 21)
Sami: I appreciated it. I just know that I let Sydney down. I let you down. (January 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ:Samantha, listen to me. I'm gonna find our daughter, and I am never gonna stop. You understand? Never gonna stop looking. I'll tell you something else. I'm not playing by these rules anymore.

Sami to Rafe: The DiMeras are powerful, all right? You might not like it, but it's gonna help us find our daughter. And when it comes to Sydney, I trust him. (January 21)
Stefano: [Sighs] [Coughs] Listen... why don't you let me help you, hmm? I heard about the ransom. My men would find Sydney much faster. She'd be home by now. Look, I'm sorry if I hurt you, but I did what I thought was best.
EJ: Wait. I'm sorry too.
Stefano: You're, uh... sorry?
EJ: Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you and I are estranged. I'm sorry you found out about Nicole's secret. I'm sorry you decided to betray my trust by not telling me. I'm sorry that I may never see my precious little girl again in large part to your machinations. And I am disgusted that you can stand here and profess your undying love and devotion to me. You have ruined my life. You've spoiled my evening. (January 25)
EJ: Wait. I'm sorry too.
Stefano: You're, uh... sorry?
EJ: Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you and I are estranged. I'm sorry you found out about Nicole's secret. I'm sorry you decided to betray my trust by not telling me. I'm sorry that I may never see my precious little girl again in large part to your machinations. And I am disgusted that you can stand here and profess your undying love and devotion to me. You have ruined my life. You've spoiled my evening. (January 25)
EJ: Nothing like that, but... it's really important to me that... that you and I and Sydney are all on the same page. That you and I are working together to get our daughter back. (January 26)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Samantha... we will get her back. I promise you.
Sami: Just keep telling me that. (January 26)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Samantha... we will get her back. I promise you.
Sami: Just keep telling me that. (January 26)
Sami: Remember when you told me that you didn't remember what Grace looked like?
EJ: Yeah.
Sami: It's happening to me. I mean, Sydney was only mine for a little bit, and-- and I thought I could remember, and now I can't. I don't remember what she looks like and I'm-- I'm scared I'm gonna lose her. (January 27)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I hope someday you'll be able to forgive me... for lying to you about her. (January 27)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Samantha, I'm not just making promises, okay. I've raised Sydney from birth. We have a bond. We have a connection.
Sami: I know you do. I believe that.
EJ: Well, you can call it a father's instinct. Call it whatever you like. I may not know where she is, but I know she's safe. I have over three dozen operatives out looking for her. (January 27)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look... I know that there are parts of my life that you don't approve of. But my network goes to places the FBI don't even know about. I know that I know somebody who knows somebody who knows this person. And I will find her. It's just a matter of time. I will bring Sydney back. I promise you that.
Sami: There's one thing I know about you, EJ. You keep your promises.
EJ: Always. (January 27)
EJ: Yeah.
Sami: It's happening to me. I mean, Sydney was only mine for a little bit, and-- and I thought I could remember, and now I can't. I don't remember what she looks like and I'm-- I'm scared I'm gonna lose her. (January 27)
