  Friday - September 11 -  Cruz's Last Day

  Julia questions Mason about Cruz's whereabouts.  Mason tells her
  that Kelly and Cruz are gone and they are never coming back.

  Reese and Jodie look for Cruz at his house and find a confession
  Cruz has left for McCabe.

  Kelly is at the cop shop getting ready to sign her statement for
  McCabe.  He stalls and won't let her go until they bring in Cruz.

  Cruz and his father are at the airport and Raphael has agreed to
  help him with the plane.

  Mason tries to explain to Julia about what Cruz is doing.  Julia
  doesn't believe for a minute that Cruz killed Frank.  She argues
  that running is the stupidest thing he could do.  CC barges in and
  is concerened about Kelly because none of her staff at the office
  no anything about her trip.

  Kelly is getting nervous because McCabe won't let her leave.  McCabe
  tells her that he intends to question Cruz in front of her.  She is
  getting more and more upset.

  Jodie doesn't believe the confession that Cruz left.  She knows that
  Cruz would never let Sawyer take the blame if he had really killed
  Frank.  They can't figure out why Cruz is taking the rap at this point.
  They decide to split up and look for Cruz.  They take the confesion
  with them.

  Cruz goes to Skylar's place and finds Warren and BJ in the garden.
  Cruz asks to have a moment alone with BJ and thus begins A Martinez's
  goodbyes to the people he cares about in Santa Barbara.  
  Cruz has a gift for BJ.  it's a silver necklace from Mexico.  Cruz
  relates to BJ how when he was much younger he was sometimes not as
  proud of his heritage as he is today.  That being popular was more
  important to him than being who he was.  BJ tells him how she's been
  mistaken for Hispanic but she was never offended by it.  This amuses
  and pleases Cruz.  Cruz tells BJ how terribly proud he is of BJ
  because of the strength of character she has displayed in overcoming
  the conflict she has had to cope with in her young life.  He tells
  her that that strength will see her through the rough path ahead of
  her and that she will become a source of strength to those around
  her.  He only regrets that he will not see it.  BJ is concerned that
  he sounds like he's saying goodbye to her. She tells Cruz how very,
  very special he is to her.  He's like a father to her.  The night
  that she told him about she and Frank she was so scared to look at
  him for fear of what he would think but when she turned to look at
  him she saw nothing but his unconditional love for her.  He assures
  her that that love is still there and always will be. She never could
  have come as far as she has if it weren't for him.  Cruz asks her to
  rememeber that he will always be holding her in his heart like a prayer.
  
  Reese arrives at the cop shop and wants to know what Kelly is doing there.
  McCabe has left an officer to watch her and she tells Reese that she's
  being held against her will.  She wants Reese to help her get out and
  Reese tells her fine he'll help her if she'll tell him what she knows
  about the confession that Cruz wrote.

  Cruz tells BJ her instincts are dangerous.  He confesses he is going
  away and he doesn't know when he'll be back.  He takes her in his
  arms and she cries that she will miss him.  Promise me you you won't
  forget me he asks of her.  She promises, they kiss and he leaves her
  in the garden.
  Cruz finds Warren and tells him that if he ever hurts BJ he will break
  every bone in his body.  Hurting her would be like putting a knife through
  my own heart responds Warren.  He explains to Cruz how much a part of him
  BJ is.  How like himself.  Cruz tells him he sounds like a man in love.
  and wants to know what he's going to do about it.  Warren says nothing.
  As far as the future goes he doesn't know.  BJ has much healing to go
  through and he can't push her he can only be there for her.  Cruz hugs
  Warren and asks that he take care of BJ.

  Kelly wants to know where Reese got the note.  Kelly is starting to lose
  it.  She tries to get Reese believe that Cruz killed Frank.  Reese isn't
  buying any of it.  He wants the truth.  Kelly begs that Reese just get
  her out of the police station and she'll take him to Cruz.

  Cruz is at the beach by the rock where Jodie and Reese and Cruz carved
  their initials.  Jodie tries to get him to respond to the fact that 
  McCabe is coming to arrest him.  Cruz tells her how far the three of
  them have come.  I don't think I'm going to see you again, he says.
  She tells him she doesn't believe that he killed Frank because of
  sawyer.  She says none of this sounds like the Cruz Castillo she has
  known all her life.  They argue.  She tries to tell him that no jury in the
  land would convict him.  Cruz tells her to accept, just this once, what
  cannot be changed and she realizes that nothing she can say or do will
  change his mind and starts crying.  He doesn't want to be there and have
  her and Reese try to change his mind.  He tells her that she must keep
  the secret of BJ being his daughter for her sake as well as the sake of
  Reese and Jodie's marriage.  Jodie regrets not having told Cruz the truth
  earlier.  He had a right to know that she was his daughter.  Cruz tells
  her it will be easier to keep the secret with Cruz gone. They embrace
  and both break down in tears.

  Mason and Julia arrive at the cop shop. Kelly s almost totally hysterical
  at this point.  She yells at Julia that she has to get her out of there
  or Cruz will leave without her.  Julia goes to the officer who's suppose
  to be watching her and tells him she wants Kelly to come with her for
  questioning.  Julia and Reese bully the officer into letting Kelly go.
  CC shows up and they all leave together.

  McCabe arrives back at the cop shop and he's pissed!  He wants everyone
  out looking for Kelly, Cruz Julia the whole gang.

  CC is trying to talk Kelly out of running away with Cruz.  In the most
  touching scene Julia asks Cruz what he expects her to do.  She's an
  officer of the court he has signed a confession.  He deeply regrets
   having put her into this position.
  J:  You don't ask much do you?
  C:  Trust me?
  J:  With my life.
  C:  Then you've got to believe I'm making the only choice available to
      me.  And I'm sorry if you don't understand 
  J:  I don't understand any of it.  (she catches her breath) I don't
      want you to go (she throws her arms around him)
  C:  Oh God
  J:  but if you believe it what you're doing then I believe in you I
     always have and I always will
  c:  Thank you.
  J:  If you go I'm not gonna have a best friend anymore.
  C:  Ah come on we're talking distance and time it has nothing to do with
     friendship, I'm counting on that.
  J: I love you and I'm going to miss you every day of my life.

  Kelly is crying and CC asks Cruz to just please, please reconsider.  He
  offers everything at his disposal to fight this thing in court.  You're
  my son, you know that and he embraces Cruz.  Take care of Kelly and Cruz
  promises he will not put her in danger.  Cruz watches CC and Kelly say
  goodbye.  Cruz, standing in the middle of his friends says he doesn't
  know how to say goodbye to them.  Jodie says they'll go with him to the
  airport but he won't allow that.  Cruz turns to Mason and hugs him and
  calls him his brother.  Mason takes Kelly in his arms.  Cruz goes to
  Reese and Reese says don't say it.  They are both close to tears as
  Reese tells him to be safe.  Cradle to grave, birth to earth.  Cruz
  turns to Jodie and tells her he loves her.  Everyone is crying at this
  point.  He takes Kelly says goodbye and he Kelly head for the airport.

  Raphael is waiting impatiently for them.  The plane is ready.  Raphael
  thanks Cruz for forgiving him for not being the father he should have.
  Cruz tells him he was the best father a son could have.  Raphael
  leaves and the pilot gets in the plane. That's our cue says Kelly
  and Cruz says No, it's mine.  Kelly is stricken.  
  c:  I'm so sorry Kelly but I can't take you with me.
  K:  You're not leaving here without me.
  c:  It's too great a risk.

  Cruz tells her that it's going to be hard enought for him to go 
  underground but it will be impossible with her.  She begs, she pleads
  but he refuses to take her.  He tells her that BJ will need her when
  she realizes that she killed Frank and that Kelly must be there in
  place of Cruz.  Cruz tries to walk toward the plane but Kelly won't
  let go of him, please don't tear us apart she begs.  Cruz leaves her
  and boards the plane.  She runs towards the plane and pounds on the
  door.  The propellar starts and he looks at her out the window while she
  chases after the plane.  She falls on the runways crying and Cruz flies
  off.

  Preview:  Kelly speaking
    My life will never be the same.  My love is gone and I don't care
    what Cruz told me I know the real reason he left is Connor McCabe
    and I just want McCabe to suffer as much as I am.
