00:00And you are?
00:02Someone who's been waiting quite a while to meet you.
00:06Well, make an appointment.
00:07Your timing is terrible, and this is private property.
00:10I'm just here to pay my respects.
00:14To who?
00:16Well, to Monica, of course.
00:19I'm sorry.
00:21I am her younger sister, Veronica Bard.
00:26But please just call me Ronnie.
00:30So, James, are the rumors really true?
00:37Did you and your classmates actually learn how to churn butter in school today?
00:41Yeah.
00:43So how does one churn butter?
00:47You put cream in the jar and you shake it really hard.
00:52Well, I can't wait to have some on my toast in the morning.
00:55It sounds delicious, doesn't it?
00:56It sounds to life.
00:57James, why don't you go to the counter and see what kind of dessert they have?
01:03Maybe we can take some home.
01:05Okay.
01:11It is not okay.
01:13I know.
01:14He misses his mom.
01:17Here we are, about to upend his life all over again.
01:20Nina, your message sounded urgent.
01:23Is it James?
01:24Oh, do you have news about Maxie?
01:26No, no, no.
01:26But it does affect both of them.
01:30You know, actually, I can only handle it to say this one.
01:33So let's just wait for Brett, okay?
01:35What's the big emergency?
01:40I can't just leave the ER.
01:42It's my first day back.
01:43Are you trying to get me fired?
01:44No.
01:45I'm trying to arrange a family reunion.
01:53How are you feeling?
01:54Any pain?
01:56No.
01:57No, I feel great.
01:57That's what we like to hear.
02:00I'm Nathan West.
02:02I should have introduced myself sooner.
02:05I'm Willow Tate.
02:07Your niece.
02:08Your niece.
02:27Yeah.
02:34Well, that is a turn of events.
02:38Yeah.
02:39Uh, thank you.
02:41Yeah, of course.
02:42I will follow up.
02:44Yeah.
02:44You seem restless, Rick.
03:12I've got just the thing for that.
03:14Hey.
03:21I'm so sorry about Monica.
03:25She was truly one of a kind.
03:27Yeah, she was.
03:34I'm glad you're both here.
03:36Yeah, we would have been at the memorial, but we know it was a private service, so.
03:41But we're glad you invited us to come over.
03:42Anything you need, we're here.
03:45I appreciate that.
03:46Please, come in.
03:52Christina, Molly, I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine.
03:55This is Jacinda.
03:58Nina, I am not interested
04:27in your misguided attempt
04:29to orchestrate a reconciliation
04:30between Grisha and me.
04:32No, I'm Lisa.
04:32It's not a...
04:33Not that you ask,
04:34but I'm not interested either.
04:36So if you'll excuse me,
04:37I need to get back
04:38to lining up ER consultations
04:39for upset tummies
04:41and scant knees.
04:41No, can you...
04:42Please, Bo, just stop.
04:46Stop.
04:47Something incredible has happened.
04:50And whatever you two
04:52are going through,
04:52you're going to need each other
04:54to get through this.
04:57He's...
05:01He's alive.
05:07It was a huge shock
05:09when I found out
05:10Nina was my mother.
05:11Yeah, I can relate.
05:14Finding out who my parents were
05:15turned my whole world upside down.
05:18Well, I'm alive today
05:19because of your mom.
05:20She actually gave me
05:22a bone marrow transplant.
05:23That's amazing.
05:25I'm glad she could come
05:26through it for you.
05:28Family's important.
05:30And now we're family.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Yeah, I like that.
05:35A new niece and...
05:37a son I've never met.
05:43How are we supposed
05:44to tell James
05:44that his father,
05:46a mythical figure
05:47that he's only known
05:48from pictures,
05:49is actually not dead
05:50and here in Port Charles?
05:54It's going to be hard
05:55for him to understand.
05:56I don't even understand it.
05:57I mean, there's a...
05:58There's a million questions
05:59and zeros.
06:01Well, the DNA test,
06:03we have one answer.
06:05That man in the bed
06:06is Nathan.
06:07And James has a right
06:09to know that his father
06:10is alive.
06:12Shouldn't his mother
06:13be here to help guide him
06:16through such a
06:16monumental transition?
06:19I know that you wish
06:21that Maxie was here.
06:24So do I.
06:27But she's not here
06:28right now,
06:28so we're going to have
06:29to step it up
06:30and be there
06:32for James.
06:33And we can do this together
06:35because Maxie
06:37would want James
06:38to know the truth.
06:41Now, now,
06:42I can't have you
06:43waking up.
06:45This will all be
06:46so much easier
06:47for you
06:47if you just
06:48take another
06:48nice, long nap.
06:52Open your mouth.
06:53Oh, no, no.
06:54Oh, Drugs.
06:55I was just...
06:55Please, just...
06:57Just let me go.
06:58I will.
06:59I promise.
07:00Just not today.
07:02Now open your mouth.
07:06There you go.
07:09Swallow it.
07:10Dad's a good boy.
07:16Hey.
07:19Haven't I always told you
07:20restraints can be
07:22so much fun?
07:26I didn't know you
07:27had company.
07:28We could have
07:28rescheduled.
07:29Oh, no, it's okay.
07:31Just send her
07:31to stop by
07:32to offer her
07:34condolences.
07:36That's so sweet.
07:37I lost my grandmother
07:39not too long ago,
07:40so I could guess
07:41how he was feeling.
07:42I just wanted to make sure
07:44Michael was holding up okay.
07:46Oh, do you run Charlie's?
07:49I think I've seen you there.
07:51Yeah, yep.
07:52Charlie's is my place.
07:54Oh, I was sorry
07:55to hear about the fire.
07:56Yeah, we're going to be
07:58up and running again
07:59very soon.
08:01Well, that's great to hear.
08:03It's a fun place.
08:05So, how do you and Michael
08:07know each other?
08:09Oh, we cross paths
08:11out and about somewhere
08:12and we just hit it off.
08:15Sometimes you just
08:16click with people, you know?
08:19Yeah, I do.
08:21Michael, can I borrow you
08:23for just a second?
08:25Yeah, sure.
08:26So, you're Monica's
08:33little sister.
08:34The runt of the litter.
08:36Oh.
08:37You've heard of me?
08:39Not from Monica.
08:40I had her investigated
08:41before she married
08:42my brother Alan.
08:44Your name turned up.
08:46Do you mean that Monica
08:47never mentioned me?
08:48I mean, not once.
08:50Not a peep.
08:51Which tells me that
08:52she didn't want you
08:54in her life.
08:55So, why are you
08:57popping up now
08:58that she's dead?
09:00Do you usually
09:01welcome visitors
09:02with hostility?
09:04Oh.
09:04just the ones that show
09:06up uninvited
09:07in the family crypt.
09:10Now, as far as I know,
09:12Monica has had no contact
09:13with you for decades.
09:14I think she probably had a reason
09:18for that.
09:18Well, you're right.
09:21Okay, Monica and I were estranged
09:23for a long time.
09:26And it's clear from her
09:27beautiful home
09:28and the land it's sitting on
09:30that we've led
09:32very different lives.
09:34But you are wrong
09:36about how things stood
09:39between my sister and me.
09:41Because everything changed
09:43well before she died.
09:49Nathan is alive.
09:52Are you...
09:54Are you certain of this?
09:56I know it's a shock.
09:57Especially...
09:58I was in shock, too.
10:03I was afraid to believe it.
10:05But Aunt Liesel,
10:05they did a DNA test.
10:07I spoke to him myself.
10:10Your son.
10:11Your brother.
10:17He's so hot.
10:20Well?
10:22Where is he?
10:24I need to see my son.
10:25Yeah, don't worry.
10:26He's fine.
10:27I'll take you to him.
10:28Come on.
10:29Come on.
10:30Come on.
10:30Are you on a date
10:41the day of your grandmother's funeral?
10:43Jacinda just stopped by
10:44to offer her condolences.
10:46I'll bet.
10:47You know who she is, right?
10:49What do you mean?
10:50What do you mean,
10:50what do I mean?
10:51Jacinda is the escort
10:53who was with Drew
10:55the night of his ketamine bender.
10:57She was all over the news.
10:58Yeah, it was one night.
11:00It was obviously just business.
11:01Business?
11:03Okay, so what's her business
11:04with you, then?
11:05I told you.
11:05She's my friend.
11:07Well, she may be your friend,
11:10but you might be her next mark.
11:11Chrissy,
11:12I got this under control.
11:14Okay?
11:15Whatever you say.
11:16I'm just
11:18looking out for you.
11:22So,
11:22your sister owns Charlie's.
11:25What do you do?
11:26I'm a prosecutor,
11:28an assistant district attorney.
11:30Wow,
11:31that sounds interesting.
11:33Yeah,
11:34it has its days.
11:36Um,
11:36sorry,
11:37are you and Michael dating?
11:40We're getting to know each other.
11:43That
11:43sounds
11:45great.
11:46Molly,
11:50I think we should head out.
11:52Let Michael and Jacinda
11:53enjoy their tea.
11:55Sounds good.
11:56It was so nice meeting you.
11:57You too.
12:04I'm gonna need a full recap
12:06of Tracy throwing Drew
12:08out of Monica's memorial.
12:10Tracy went full Tracy
12:11in honor of Monica.
12:12I'm always gonna forget it.
12:14Anyway,
12:14I appreciate you
12:15to come check on me.
12:17Love you.
12:18Love you.
12:22Hey,
12:22Michael.
12:23Bye.
12:23I'm not sure they bought it.
12:43By all means,
12:45regale me with stories
12:46of how you and Monica
12:47conveniently reunited
12:49in the sunset of her life
12:50without my knowledge.
12:53Well,
12:53it's simple.
12:54Monica wrote me a letter.
12:56Of course she did.
12:58Trust me,
12:58no one was more surprised
13:00than me
13:01because she had never
13:03reached out in the past,
13:04you know,
13:05even though I was
13:06really easy to find.
13:07I just assumed
13:10she had no interest.
13:13And what,
13:13pray tell,
13:15sparked this
13:16renewed interest?
13:19I think
13:19as we grow older
13:21and face
13:22our mortality,
13:25regrets
13:26loom large.
13:29Mine you can see
13:30from space.
13:31And yours?
13:33So Monica wrote you
13:34a letter.
13:35I assume you wrote back?
13:37Well,
13:38of course I did.
13:39We've been writing
13:40back and forth
13:40to each other
13:41past year or so.
13:43Oh,
13:44I'd like to see
13:44proof of that.
13:47You want to see
13:48the private letters
13:50that I exchanged
13:51with my sister?
13:52I don't know you.
13:56But I'd know
13:57Monica's handwriting
13:58anywhere.
13:59I also know
14:01that you haven't
14:02darkened
14:03her doorstep
14:04in over
14:0550 years.
14:07And yet,
14:08as soon as you
14:09get wind of the fact
14:10that she's died,
14:11you're circling
14:12like a vulture.
14:15Why don't you tell me
14:16why you're really here?
14:17Did something happen
14:27to mom?
14:29Oh,
14:29no,
14:30sweetheart,
14:31absolutely not.
14:33I talked to your mom's
14:34doctors earlier
14:35like I do every day,
14:36and they are taking
14:38excellent care of her.
14:39Then,
14:40what's wrong?
14:41You know,
14:44actually,
14:45James,
14:45your grandma and I
14:46have some good news
14:48to tell you.
14:50Um,
14:51there was a
14:54strange mistake,
14:56and your dad,
14:59Nathan,
15:00is alive.
15:03No,
15:04he's not.
15:05My dad's an angel
15:06and he was in heaven.
15:11My son.
15:22Did he bring you home?
15:30I hate to tell you this,
15:40Drake.
15:41But you are missing out
15:43on an awful lot
15:45of billable hours.
15:47What,
15:47with Drew
15:48getting himself shot
15:49and half the town
15:50being investigated
15:51by the PCPD?
15:53Drew got shot?
15:56Is he alive?
15:57Oh,
15:58yeah.
15:59And from what I hear,
16:00Willow,
16:01one of your many
16:01unfortunate clients,
16:03is a prime suspect.
16:05Ava,
16:06you gotta stop this.
16:07I already said I would,
16:09just not right now.
16:11No.
16:12It didn't have to be
16:14this way,
16:14you know.
16:16You and I,
16:17we had a real good
16:19thing going,
16:20and I think
16:21we're cut from
16:22the same claw.
16:24Don't you?
16:25But,
16:26I guess the heart
16:27wants what it wants.
16:31And yours
16:31wanted
16:32Elizabeth.
16:33the fairest maiden
16:37in all of
16:38poor Charles.
16:40Which allowed
16:41Christina
16:42to play you
16:42for the fool you are,
16:43but the reason
16:44you are here
16:45is because
16:47you got greedy.
16:48So did you.
16:50Come on.
16:52I deserved
16:53every penny
16:53of that money.
16:56Hey.
16:57No, no, no, no.
16:58Don't fall asleep
16:59just yet,
17:00okay,
17:00because I want you
17:01to remember this.
17:03In ten days,
17:04all the money
17:05you stole
17:06is going to be
17:06right back
17:07where it belongs
17:08in the
17:09Casadine estate,
17:11minus my
17:12substantial
17:13divorce settlement,
17:14of course.
17:15But you should
17:16cheer up,
17:18because by the time
17:19you're able to form
17:20a coherent thought
17:21again,
17:23this will all
17:23be over.
17:24sleep tight.
17:38I can see
17:40that you are
17:40grieving too,
17:41which is why
17:42I'm trying
17:42to be polite.
17:44But you have
17:45just stepped up
17:46to a line
17:47that no decent
17:48person would cross.
17:51You're the one
17:52who showed up
17:53unannounced
17:54and uninvited
17:55to a private
17:56memorial,
17:57probably asking
17:58for a handout.
18:00I don't want
18:02a thing
18:03from you
18:03or from
18:05my sister.
18:06I get along
18:07just fine.
18:10I can see.
18:12Look,
18:13I read in the paper
18:14that Monica
18:15had died.
18:16I knew
18:17that her
18:17funeral
18:18was private,
18:20so I came
18:20here instead
18:21to pay
18:22my respects.
18:25The select
18:26invitees
18:27were people
18:29who were
18:29close to
18:30Monica,
18:32her family,
18:33her friends,
18:35respected
18:36colleagues
18:36of which
18:37you
18:38are none.
18:41You know,
18:43whatever you
18:44came here
18:44for,
18:45you're not
18:45going to get it.
18:46So why
18:47don't you
18:47sneak out
18:49the way
18:50you snuck
18:50in?
18:52Sneak?
18:54Sneak in?
18:55Gates were
18:55wide open.
18:56I'll have
18:57that fixed.
18:59You know,
19:00Monica wrote
19:01to me
19:01a lot
19:02about her
19:04family.
19:05Her son,
19:06Jason,
19:06her grandson,
19:07Michael,
19:08other grandchildren
19:09and great-grandchildren.
19:11I would like
19:12to meet them
19:13and extend
19:14my condolences
19:15because,
19:16I mean,
19:16they're my family.
19:17No,
19:17they're not.
19:18They're nothing
19:18to you
19:19and you
19:21are nothing
19:22to them.
19:27This is a miracle.
19:30You've been
19:30restored to me.
19:33But,
19:33leave him.
19:35Where have you been?
19:37I wish I could do.
19:39The last thing
19:39I remember
19:40is being shot
19:40by Faison.
19:43You were found
19:44on the road
19:45in the car
19:45that had crashed.
19:47Were you
19:47were you trying
19:49to escape
19:49from someone?
19:51I would tell you
19:52if I knew
19:52I really don't know
19:54I'm sorry.
19:56But I do know
19:57Maxi and I
19:59have a son.
20:01And I want to meet him
20:01as soon as possible.
20:05That's right,
20:06James.
20:07We did believe
20:08he was in heaven.
20:08but it turns out
20:10we were wrong
20:12and he's
20:14actually here
20:15in Port Charles.
20:18I have seen him
20:19with my own two eyes.
20:20I have even spoken
20:22to him.
20:23He is in
20:23general hospital
20:24right now.
20:26Is he hurt?
20:27Oh,
20:28no,
20:28no.
20:29No,
20:30he was in an accident
20:31but he's
20:32he's okay.
20:34He just
20:34he doesn't remember
20:35where he's been.
20:37Does he remember me?
20:39Well,
20:39that's the thing.
20:41The two of you
20:41have never actually met.
20:44You were born
20:46after he
20:47he went away.
20:50I guess that's why
20:51I don't really know
20:51my dad.
20:54Except
20:54my mom's told me
20:56what I've seen
20:56in pictures.
20:58That's right.
20:58You know,
20:59and we know
21:00this is a lot
21:01for you to find out
21:02and it is
21:03for us too.
21:05But we're all
21:06in this together.
21:07So
21:08and it's okay
21:10if you're not
21:10quite ready.
21:12You don't have
21:13to meet him
21:13until you want to.
21:23I can safely say
21:25that coming home
21:26to you
21:26will never be
21:27anything but
21:27disconcerting.
21:29Well,
21:29luckily for us
21:30this will all
21:31be over soon
21:32and we can
21:32go back to
21:33pretending we don't
21:34see each other
21:34when we pass
21:35on the street.
21:35How's Rick?
21:37He's okay.
21:38I just gave him
21:38a sedative.
21:39He ought to be
21:39sleeping like a baby.
21:40How'd it go with Anna?
21:42I don't know
21:43they canceled
21:43the appointment.
21:45What?
21:45I don't know
21:46that either.
21:48They didn't reschedule
21:49so I'm taking that
21:50as a win
21:50at least for now.
21:51Right.
21:52Yeah,
21:52so you think
21:53you're in the clear then?
21:54Because we can't
21:54have the cops
21:55sniffing around here.
21:56I'm being cautiously
21:57optimistic
21:58and you're certainly
22:00right.
22:00We can't have the
22:01PCPD know
22:02that I've got
22:03my ex-husband
22:03locked up
22:04in my basement.
22:06Ten more days.
22:08We just have to
22:08endure this nightmare
22:10for ten more days
22:11and all the money
22:12Rick stole
22:13will be right back
22:14where it belongs
22:14and you and I
22:15can wash our hands
22:17of each other
22:18permanently.
22:18I don't know.
22:48Hi, Justine.
22:55Great.
22:56I've got something that is really going to interest you.
23:00How did your questioning with Alexis Davis go?
23:02I cancelled.
23:03So she's no longer a suspect?
23:04No, no.
23:05I don't want to rule her out as a suspect,
23:08but the ballistics report came back
23:10and it's pointing us elsewhere.
23:13Let me guess.
23:16Sonny Corinthos.
23:17Actually, no.
23:20The strike marks on the bullet,
23:22they match to an earlier crime
23:25and suggest a highly unlikely suspect.
23:30Who?
23:32It's a dead man.
23:36Namely, Edward Quartermain.
23:39Wow.
23:41You just jump right in and make assumptions about my character,
23:46even though, as you just made very clear,
23:48you don't know me.
23:50I don't want to know you.
23:52Maybe you should.
23:53Because from where I stand,
23:55you didn't know Monica as well as you think you did.
23:58Monica did not mention your name once
24:03in the 45 years that I knew her.
24:07Got hard to connect the dots.
24:09She didn't want anything to do with you,
24:12and I intend to honor her
24:14by following suit.
24:18You know what?
24:18You are everything she said you were.
24:22And that's not a compliment.
24:23Oh, I already know that,
24:24because unlike you,
24:26I had a relationship with her.
24:28Oh.
24:29Well, weren't you lucky then?
24:30My sister and I were separated as children
24:35and raised in the foster care system.
24:38Did you know that?
24:39I knew her foster mother, Gail Baldwin.
24:43Well, good for you.
24:44I never had the pleasure.
24:47Look, what I'm trying to tell you
24:49is that Monica and I were estranged
24:51due to circumstance, not choice.
24:54We didn't get to grow up together as sisters.
24:58And when I finally found her again,
25:04we were already both young women
25:06starting our lives.
25:09She was married to her first husband
25:11and in the middle of her medical internship
25:15and building a life that was a far cry
25:20from the past we had shared.
25:25And that was the past she wanted.
25:28Nothing to do with.
25:30So, there was no room in her life for me.
25:37And I took that hard.
25:39You know, I said things that,
25:43oh, God, I regret.
25:45And so did she.
25:47And that led to a 50-year estrangement.
25:50Well, life takes people in different directions,
25:53doesn't it?
25:54You know, Monica was forging her own path
25:57and I was quite determined to do the same.
26:00My life may have had very different trappings,
26:03but I am proud of it.
26:06Nonetheless,
26:08I never asked or needed my sister for anything
26:13and I never did.
26:17That is a very compelling story.
26:20And I don't believe a word of it.
26:23This situation with Drew has been very enlightening.
26:30How so?
26:31Because his behavior was so extreme
26:34that it pushed someone else to an extreme
26:36and he got shot.
26:37This whole mess we're in right now
26:39is because you and Christina
26:42have gone to an extreme.
26:45Do you mean when she tried to kill me?
26:48I mean that we have Rick tied up in my basement
26:51because of an eye for an eye vendetta
26:53that the two of you can't get over.
26:56And it's going to destroy all of us
26:58and it's going to end, all right?
27:00So we're going to put the money back where it belongs.
27:01Including the divorce settlement,
27:03which belongs in my pocket.
27:04Fine, then we will push reset.
27:06We're going to put all of this in the past.
27:09All of us.
27:11Well, I'm willing to do that.
27:13And it seems like you and Christina
27:14are willing to do that.
27:16But the one person who might not be so amenable
27:19is Rick.
27:21Rick doesn't have a choice
27:22because we all committed crimes.
27:25If we go down, he goes down.
27:28Lex, it's the guy who's been bludgeoned,
27:30drugged, trussed up.
27:31He's being held captive by the ex-wife he hates,
27:35the niece he hates even more,
27:36and the ex-lover he is probably pretty displeased with.
27:40I know, Rick.
27:42He will get upset,
27:43he will kick and scream and feel thwarted,
27:45but then he will lick his wounds
27:47and he will get over it.
27:48He'll be fine.
27:49I don't know.
27:51Everybody has a limit
27:53to how far they're willing to be pushed.
27:56Good night, Alexis.
27:57Ultimately, every Quartermain was exonerated,
28:01but the gun definitely belonged to him.
28:04And the Quartermains still have access to this collection?
28:07Mm-hmm.
28:07The entire collection is still registered to that address.
28:11Quartermains are the last people
28:12that should have access to a cache of weapons.
28:14Anyway.
28:15So the two suspects who still live at the Quartermain estate
28:18are Tracy Quartermain and Michael Corinthos.
28:21Right.
28:21And Tracy was the first on the scene.
28:23She discovered Drew, called it in.
28:27She despises him.
28:28Yeah.
28:28Okay?
28:30But if she wanted him dead,
28:32he would probably be dead.
28:37And Michael?
28:39Drew destroyed his family
28:40and was actively working to take away his children.
28:44He had access to the gun and plenty of motive.
28:46Let's just say just because it could have happened
28:50doesn't mean that it did.
28:52Now, with these suspects,
28:55is there anyone that we can rule out?
28:59Carly Spencer.
29:01She's got an alibi.
29:03WSB Station Chief Jack Brennan.
29:05Yeah, but Jack would lie for her in a heartbeat.
29:09So Carly does have children and grandchildren at the estate.
29:13So, yes, she does have access.
29:15And I did read in her file
29:17that she once shot a man point blank in court.
29:20Because he kidnapped Michael when he was a child.
29:23So, okay, yes.
29:24She would definitely kill to protect her children.
29:27So we can't rule her out.
29:32What about Curtis Ashford?
29:34He and Drew have been at each other's throats
29:36for almost a year
29:37and Curtis holds Drew completely responsible
29:40for the arrest of his aunt, Stella Henry,
29:43for some kind of insurance fraud.
29:46Maybe, uh, Curtis reached his breaking point.
29:51He is an ex-cop.
29:53He could stage a crime scene
29:54and cover his tracks.
29:58What about Nina Reeves and Willow Tate?
30:02I mean, they're each other's halifuts.
30:04That is one complex relationship
30:07made even more complex by the fact
30:10that they were both sleeping with Drew
30:11at the same time,
30:13unbeknownst to Willow.
30:17Maybe they both wanted revenge
30:19and were in on it together.
30:25Hi, Willow.
30:27I, um, just wanted to thank you for treating Jay.
30:33Jay?
30:34Oh, I'm Nathan.
30:35Sorry, yeah.
30:36Uh, Nathan.
30:37Right.
30:37Jay.
30:38For James.
30:39James is named after his father.
30:42James Nathan West.
30:43Yeah.
30:44I can't believe it.
30:46Only still gets to have her son back.
30:48You know, Willow, with all this,
30:54like, can we just call it truth?
30:56No.
30:56That's not gonna happen.
30:58I'm happy your brother is back.
31:00It changes nothing between us.
31:02You lied to me and manipulated me,
31:04and I don't want anything to do with you.
31:06Okay.
31:10Okay.
31:12You can hate me all you want.
31:16But the reality is,
31:18we need each other.
31:22Because we're each other's alibi.
31:25Okay, are we gonna talk about
31:27what just happened at the quarter mains?
31:29What do you mean?
31:31Come on, Christina.
31:33Michael invites us over after Monica's funeral
31:35and just happens to be entertaining the escort
31:38who's a part of his alibi
31:39the night of Drew's shooting?
31:41That was a setup.
31:43I'm not sure how much I shored up your alibi,
31:46but it was worth a try.
31:49And being here gives me a chance to tell you
31:52that I really am sorry for your loss.
31:57I appreciate you trying to help today.
31:59No problem.
32:03It was pretty calculated, though.
32:05Most people would be too caught up in mourning
32:08to make a move like that.
32:10I think your grandmother would approve?
32:14I hope so.
32:16You know, I didn't come to Port Charles
32:19to convince you or anyone of anything.
32:22I came to honor my sister,
32:28who I really wish I had reconnected with sooner.
32:34Monica Bard
32:35may have been your sister,
32:38but the little girl you remember
32:41grew up to be
32:42Dr. Monica Quartermain.
32:45She was a skilled surgeon.
32:46She was a pillar of her community.
32:51Too busy helping others
32:54to bother to look back.
32:56So you hear me when I tell you,
33:00Ronnie,
33:01there is no room
33:04for you
33:05in her family's future.
33:07You don't need you
33:12at all.
33:14You need me.
33:15You're the one
33:15who doesn't actually have an alibi.
33:17You're the one
33:18with the history of violence.
33:19Drew
33:20used you for sex
33:21and threw you away.
33:22That's a damn good reason
33:23to shoot someone.
33:25Well, if it comes down to it,
33:26I hope that's what
33:27the police believe.
33:29Because Drew
33:30was instrumental
33:32in you losing your children,
33:34which is a damn good reason
33:37to shoot someone, too.
33:41Tell me about my son.
33:43What's he like?
33:44Nathan,
33:44he's a magnificent,
33:46intelligent,
33:48strong boy.
33:49You should see him
33:50throw an axe.
33:52Mother,
33:53we should go.
33:55Nathan's suffered
33:56a head trauma
33:57and needs rest.
33:59Being with beloved family
34:00can be equally important
34:02for healing.
34:02But first, rest.
34:04You and I are both doctors.
34:05You know I'm right.
34:06As much as I hate to say it,
34:08your sister is correct.
34:10You should leave.
34:17Rita?
34:19Surely you're not going
34:20to walk out
34:21on your newly returned brother
34:22without so much as a hug?
34:25Right.
34:26Sorry.
34:26Sorry.
34:32I'll come back.
34:34I'll come back.
34:34Michael is going through
35:01a difficult time
35:01and he is seeking comfort
35:04from a woman he's seeing.
35:05Seeing?
35:06Yes.
35:07Seeing.
35:08Are you hung up
35:09on what Jacinda does
35:10for a living?
35:11Because this isn't
35:12the first sex worker
35:13Michael has dated.
35:14He's not judgmental.
35:15He likes who he likes.
35:16You shouldn't shame him.
35:17I'm not shaming him.
35:18This isn't about that.
35:19It's about a run-in
35:20with Jacinda
35:21that Michael orchestrated.
35:22Why would he do that?
35:25Because I work
35:26for the DA's office
35:28and he wanted me
35:29to see them together.
35:30He's securing his alibi
35:32for the night
35:32of Drew's shooting.
35:33You think?
35:35I don't think.
35:36I know.
35:38I don't love
35:39that I had to stage
35:40this encounter
35:40with Molly and Christina
35:41on a day that
35:42should have been
35:43all about my grandmother.
35:45Well, I'm sure
35:45your grandmother loved you.
35:47And if she was
35:48half the woman
35:49you say she was,
35:50she'd want you
35:51to get out of this
35:51Drew situation clean,
35:53right?
35:54Yeah.
35:55Yeah, she would.
35:56Then I think
35:57she'd have no problem
35:58with you doing
35:59what you need to do,
36:00even today.
36:02Thanks.
36:05I just hope
36:05it was enough.
36:07Because you and I
36:08both know that
36:09if the cops
36:10look any deeper
36:10into this,
36:13my alibi won't hold.
36:15So now that we have
36:16the ballistics report,
36:17I think that we should
36:18quietly secure
36:20a warrant
36:21to search
36:22the Quartermain estate.
36:23If word gets out
36:24and they realize
36:26that a Quartermain
36:26is the focus
36:27of our investigation,
36:29they will close ranks
36:30and they will do
36:31whatever it takes
36:32to protect each other.
36:33They would even
36:34cover up
36:35an attempted murder
36:37of one of their own.
36:39You know,
36:40in her letters,
36:43Monica described you
36:44as aggressive
36:46and abrasive.
36:50You ain't seen
36:51nothing yet.
36:52She said that
36:53your abrasiveness
36:54came from your father,
36:57but that it was
36:58tempered
36:59by your mother's heart.
37:03She also said
37:05that your
37:05good intentions
37:07were masked
37:09by an armor
37:10of entitlement.
37:12Hmm.
37:13But her assessment,
37:14if you
37:15left out,
37:17how cold
37:18you are.
37:19The fact that
37:20Monica was waxing
37:21poetic about me
37:22just tells me
37:24that she was losing
37:24control
37:26of her faculties.
37:28I want you
37:30to leave.
37:31Oh, I'm leaving.
37:36Oh, yes.
37:42You know, Tracy,
37:44masks
37:46have a tendency
37:48to slip.
37:50And I suspect
37:51that you may not
37:52be entitled
37:52to everything
37:53you think you are.
37:56My sincere condolences
37:57on this very sad day.
38:01Okay, Suzanne,
38:09what do we have
38:10on the docket
38:10tomorrow?
38:16Oh, right.
38:17The reading
38:17of Monica
38:18quarter means
38:19will.
38:19That ought to
38:20go smoothly.
38:22Do me a favor,
38:22will you?
38:23Will you make
38:23some hard copies
38:24and leave them
38:25on my desk?
38:29On the next
38:30general hospital,
38:31do your job
38:32and stop trying
38:33to pin it
38:33on the obvious
38:34suspect.
38:34Do you really
38:35think Maxie
38:35would be okay
38:36with this?
38:37No, Lula.
38:37I am not about
38:38to be scared
38:39off by Tracy
38:40quarter, man.
38:41If you're so sure
38:41that I'm lying,
38:42go to the cops.
38:43Thanks.
