00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to my General Hospital official channel. I hope everyone
00:04is having a wonderful day. Before we begin, please hit the subscribe button and give this
00:09video a thumbs up. The polished marble floors of the Port Charles Courthouse, usually a stage for
00:15the dry, procedural machinations of the legal system, seemed to absorb the very sound and
00:19light from the air, leaving a suffocating stillness in their wake. The air was thick,
00:24not with humidity, but with a palpable, razor-sharp tension that seemed to coat the back of every
00:29throat. On this day, the building was not merely a hall of justice, it was a theater, and the
00:34audience, a packed gallery of the city's most prominent and damaged souls, collectively held
00:39its breath. At the center of it all, seated in the witness stand with a posture that suggested both
00:44profound fragility and unbreakable resolve, was Jacqueline Jacqueline Grace, known to all as
00:49Jacinda. She was a vision of contained trauma. Dressed in a simple, elegant navy blue dress,
00:56a color of somber seriousness, she looked both older and younger than her years.
01:01Her hands, clasped tightly together on the wooden ledge before her, were the only betrayal of the
01:05storm raging within, the knuckles white with the force of her grip. Across the room, at the defense
01:11table, sat the man who had once been the center of her universe, the man whose smile had once been
01:15the sun around which her life orbited, Michael Corinthos. To the outside world, he was a pillar of the
01:21community, a successful businessman, the scion of the most powerful, albeit controversial,
01:26family in Port Charles. But in Jacinda's eyes, and in the narrative the prosecution was
01:32meticulously building, he was something else entirely. The district attorney, a shrewd and
01:37relentless woman named Amanda Jones, approached the stand with the careful, measured pace of a
01:41lioness circling her prey. Her voice, when she spoke, was soft, almost gentle, a stark contrast to
01:48the brutal questions it framed. Ms. Grace, Jones began, her tone deceptively calm,
01:54Can you please tell the court, in your own words, about the nature of your relationship with the
01:58defendant, Michael Corinthos? Jacinda's eyes, large and luminous with unshed tears, flickered towards
02:04Michael for a fraction of a second before returning to the DA. The brief contact was like a spark in a
02:10room full of gas fumes. Michael's expression was a carefully constructed mask of stoic dignity,
02:16but those who knew him, his mother, Carly, seated rigidly in the front row, his father, Sonny,
02:21a brooding presence beside her, could see the faint tremor in his jaw. Our relationship, Jacinda started,
02:27her voice a fragile thread of sound that nonetheless carried to the farthest corners of the room,
02:32began as a fairy tale. He was charming, attentive, powerful. He made me feel seen, and for a woman who
02:39had spent her life feeling invisible in the shadow of the general hospital legacy, that was a potent
02:44drug. She was referring, of course, to her late father, a renowned surgeon whose reputation was
02:50both her inheritance and her burden. We were engaged. We were planning a life, a family. I believed him to
02:59be my future. And when did that perception begin to change? Jones prompted, her hands clasped behind
03:06her back. It was a slow, insidious process, Jacinda admitted, her gaze turning inward, staring at a
03:13point on the wall as if watching the memories play out like a private film. The compliments became
03:18critiques. The protectiveness became possessiveness. He started isolating me from my friends, my
03:25colleagues. He'd get angry if I was late from a shift at the hospital, accusing me of, of things I
03:31would never do. He said it was because he loved me so much, that he was just worried about losing
03:36me. And I wanted to believe that. I clung to that explanation because the alternative was too
03:43terrifying. The gallery was silent, save for the frantic scratching of reporters' pens and the low,
03:49steady hum of the air conditioning. Carly Corinthos shifted uncomfortably, her protective instincts
03:55towards her son warring with a dawning, horrifying comprehension.
03:58Can you describe for the court a specific instance of this controlling behavior escalating into
04:04something more? Jones asked, her voice still soft but now laced with a sharp, prosecutorial edge.
04:11Jacinda took a shaky breath, her fingers tightening further. It was about six months before the,
04:17before the end. I had been asked to consult on a complex pediatric case with Dr. Finn.
04:23Finn. We spent several late nights in the hospital library, just researching, trying to save this
04:30child's life. When I finally got home, exhausted, Michael was waiting for me. The apartment was dark.
04:38He didn't yell. His voice was quiet, cold. He accused me of having an affair. I tried to explain,
04:47to show him the research, but he, he backhanded me across the face. A collective, sharp intake of
04:53breath rippled through the gallery. Sonny Corinthos's head snapped towards his son, his dark eyes flashing
04:59with a storm of conflicting emotions, disbelief, anger, and a paternal defensiveness. Michael, for his
05:06part, remained immobile, but a faint sheen of sweat now glistened on his temple. He was immediately
05:11remorseful, Jacinda continued, a bitter, broken sound that was almost a laugh escaping her lips.
05:18He cried. He begged for forgiveness. He said it was the stress of his work, but he was terrified of
05:25losing me, that he'd never do it again. And I, like a fool, I believed him. I thought it was a
05:31one-time mistake. I thought my love could fix him. This pattern, Jacinda explained over the next hour,
05:39became the new normal. The verbal assaults became more frequent, the accusations more outlandish.
05:46The physical violence, while never a daily occurrence, was a constant, looming threat,
05:50a shove into a wall, a brutal grip on her arm that left bruises she expertly concealed with makeup
05:55and long sleeves, another slap when she dared to question his decisions about their shared finances.
06:00She described living in a state of perpetual hypervigilance, calibrating her every word,
06:05her every action, to avoid triggering his rage. She was a ghost in her own life, walking on eggshells
06:11in her own home. And yet, you stayed, Jones stated, voicing the question on everyone's mind.
06:18I stayed because I was afraid, Jacinda whispered, a single tear finally tracing a path down her cheek.
06:24Afraid of what he would do if I left. Afraid that no one would believe me.
06:29He's Michael Corinthos. His family, they own this town. I was a nobody. I was also financially
06:39dependent on him. He had systematically separated me from my support system and my career.
06:45Leaving felt impossible. It felt like a death sentence. The testimony was devastating.
06:53The portrait she painted was not of a monster in the dark, but of a sophisticated, beloved man
06:58who wielded his power and charm as both a weapon and a shield, a man who could break your spirit
07:02with a word and your body with his hands, all while professing his undying love. The public
07:07image of Michael Corinthos, the philanthropist, the doting sun, was cracking under the weight
07:12of Jacinda's quiet, credible words. Then, D.A. Jones approached a new line of questioning.
07:18Her demeanor shifted, becoming even more grave, if that was possible.
07:22Ms. Grace, I now need to take you back to the night of September 14th, the night your
07:29engagement to the defendant ended. Can you tell the court what happened that night?
07:34This was the heart of the matter. The assault charges were one thing, but the events of that
07:40night were the foundation of the most serious allegations. Jacinda visibly trembled, her composure
07:46finally beginning to fracture. She reached for a glass of water with a shaking hand, taking a small
07:52sip before nodding. We had a fight, she began, her voice thick with emotion. A terrible fight.
08:00He had found a text message on my phone from an old college friend, a male friend who was going
08:04through a divorce and had reached out for support. Michael was enraged. He called me every vile name
08:11you can imagine. He said I was a whore, that I had been cheating on him all along. He threw my phone
08:18against the wall, shattering it. I was backed into a corner of our living room, literally and
08:23figuratively. I had never seen him like that. His eyes, they were empty. Soulless. She paused,
08:33gathering the tattered remnants of her strength. I knew, in that moment, that he was going to kill me.
08:39I could see it. I tried to run, to get to the door, but he grabbed me by the hair and yanked me back.
08:47He threw me to the floor. And then, he started kicking me. Again and again. I curled into a ball,
08:56trying to protect myself, but the blows just kept coming. I remember the taste of blood in my mouth.
09:02I remember the sound of my own ribs cracking. I remember thinking, this is how I die.
09:09The courtroom was a tomb. Carly Corinthos had her hand clamped over her mouth,
09:15her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Sonny's face was a mask of granite,
09:20but his eyes were fixed on his son with a look of dawning, horrific realization.
09:24And then, something changed, Jacinda said, her voice dropping to a near whisper,
09:28forcing everyone to lean forward to hear. He stopped. He just, stopped. He looked down at me,
09:37at what he had done, and a strange, cold calm settled over him. He didn't apologize. He didn't
09:44help me up. He just said, clean yourself up. We have the charity gala tomorrow. And then,
09:52he walked out. The sheer, chilling banality of that statement, the concern for a social event in the
09:58immediate aftermath of a near-fatal beating, sent a new wave of revulsion through the room.
10:03What did you do, Ms. Grace? Jones asked softly.
10:08I lay there for I don't know how long, she said. When I was sure he was gone, I managed to drag myself
10:14to my phone, but it was destroyed. I crawled to the landline in the kitchen and I called the only
10:19person I thought I could trust, the one person I knew wasn't afraid of the Corinthos' name,
10:23my cousin, Laura. Laura Collins. The mention of the former mayor and one of Port Charles's most
10:30respected figures added a new layer of credibility to the testimony. Laura Collins had indeed been the
10:36one to find Jacinda, to rush her to General Hospital, to insist the police be called,
10:40setting in motion the legal proceedings that had led to this very moment. The medical records,
10:46already entered into evidence, corroborated every gruesome detail, multiple fractured ribs,
10:50a ruptured spleen, a concussion, and bruising so extensive the attending physician had documented
10:55it as consistent with a severe, sustained assault. Jones let the silence hang in the air for a long
11:01moment, allowing the horror of Jacinda's account to settle deeply into the consciousness of every
11:05person in the room. Then, she took a final, deliberate step closer to the stand.
11:12Ms. Grace, the defense has argued that your relationship was volatile, that arguments were mutual,
11:16and that you have a history of instability, exacerbated by the pressure of your family name.
11:22They suggest you are fabricating this narrative out of spite, for financial gain, or due to a
11:27fragile mental state. How do you respond to that? Jacinda lifted her head, and for the first time,
11:34a flash of pure, undiluted fire shone in her eyes. The fragility was still there, but it was now armored
11:40in a steely resolve. I am not fragile. I am a survivor, she stated, her voice gaining a new,
11:48powerful clarity. What he did to me was not a volatile argument. It was torture. It was attempted
11:56murder. And as for my mental state... She paused, her gaze sweeping across the gallery, past the shocked
12:04faces of Port Charles's elite, past the stony visage of Judge Walters, before finally landing,
12:08with the force of a physical blow, directly on Michael. The defense, and the world, believes the
12:14worst thing that ever happened to me was the beating on September 14th. They believe the deepest secret
12:20I hold is the shame and the fear I carried for so long. She took a deep, shuddering breath, as if
12:26stealing herself for a leap into an abyss. But they are wrong. The beating was a horror, but it was not
12:33my deepest shame. My deepest shame is a secret I have carried alone for months. A secret I was too
12:40terrified, too broken, to ever reveal. Until today. The air in the room seemed to vanish. You could have
12:48heard a pin drop in the vast, echoing space. Michael's mask of stoicism finally slipped, his eyes
12:55widening a fraction in confusion and a flicker of alarm. His lawyer half rose from his seat, objecting,
13:01but Jacinda's voice, now ringing with a raw, desperate power, cut through the procedural noise.
13:07The night he beat me, the night Laura took me to General Hospital, Jacinda said, her words measured,
13:12deliberate, each one a hammer blow, the doctors did more than just treat my injuries.
13:17They ran a standard battery of tests. And they discovered something.
13:22Something that changed everything. She turned her body fully to face the judge,
13:27but her words were for the entire world. Your Honor, she said, her voice trembling not with
13:33weakness, but with the sheer magnitude of what she was about to unveil, on the night Michael
13:37Corinthos nearly killed me, I was eight weeks pregnant. A collective, gasped, oh, echoed through
13:43the gallery, followed by an immediate, frantic buzz of whispers that the bailiff had to gavel into
13:48silence. Carly let out a strangled cry, her face draining of all color. Sonny looked as if he'd been
13:55physically struck. The trauma of the assault. Jacinda continued, tears now streaming freely down her
14:02face, no longer able to be contained, the internal bleeding, the shock to my system, it was too much.
14:08I lost the baby. I miscarried in the emergency room, just hours after he left me lying on the floor
14:14to die. The revelation was nuclear. It transformed the narrative entirely. This was no longer just a
14:23story of domestic violence, it was a story of a life, and future, brutally and irrevocably destroyed.
14:29The assault had not just been on Jacinda, it had been on their unborn child. But Jacinda was not
14:35finished. She had one final, shocking truth to reveal, a truth that would send the proceedings
14:40spiraling into chaos. And that, your Honor, is the secret I have carried. But it is not the only one.
14:48You see, when the police initially investigated, they took my statement. They saw my injuries.
14:56But Michael, with his resources, his lawyers, his influence, he was able to post bail immediately.
15:02He walked out of that police station a free man, while I was in a hospital bed,
15:06grieving the child he had murdered. Her voice rose, filled with a righteous, furious agony.
15:12What the police didn't know, what no one knew until this very second, is that when I was discharged
15:18from General Hospital, I was... I was not in my right mind. The grief, the pain, the betrayal,
15:25it consumed me. And in my desperation, in my shattered state, I did something.
15:31I took the shirt Michael was wearing that night, the shirt stained with my blood, and I hid it.
15:36I couldn't bear to look at it, but I couldn't bring myself to destroy it.
15:41It was evidence. Evidence of what he had done to me, to our baby.
15:46She looked directly at D.A. Jones, who was watching her with an expression of stunned,
15:51albeit prepared, intensity.
15:53I gave that shirt to my cousin, Laura.
15:56I asked her to keep it safe, to hide it somewhere no one would ever find it,
16:00until the day I was strong enough to face this.
16:02Until the day I was in this courtroom, under oath, and could ensure it would be used to
16:07deliver true justice.
16:09Jacinda's gaze then swung back to Michael, whose face was now a ghastly shade of pale.
16:14The confidence, the arrogance, had completely evaporated, replaced by naked, primal fear.
16:21The blood on that shirt isn't just mine, Michael, Jacinda said, her voice dropping to a deadly,
16:26quiet whisper that was somehow more terrifying than any scream.
16:28The forensics team, working with the evidence D.A. Jones submitted this morning after I finally
16:34gave her the shirt, can now confirm it.
16:37The spatter patterns, the DNA, it's consistent with my account of the assault.
16:42But more than that, with today's advanced technology, they were able to isolate another
16:47DNA profile.
16:49A fetal DNA profile.
16:50The DNA of our son.
16:53She let that hang in the air for a beat, the final, devastating piece of the puzzle slamming
16:58into place.
16:59That shirt doesn't just prove you beat me.
17:02It proves you killed your own child.
17:05It's not just assault.
17:08It's manslaughter.
17:10At the very least.
17:11The courtroom exploded.
17:13Reporters scrambled for the doors, desperate to file the story.
17:18The gallery erupted in a cacophony of shouts, cries, and exclamations.
17:24Carly Corinthos collapsed against her husband, her body racked with sobs.
17:29Sonny held her, but his eyes were locked on his son, a maelstrom of horror, disappointment,
17:33and a crumbling paternal loyalty in their deaths.
17:36Order!
17:38Order in the court!
17:40Judge Walters boomed, slamming his gavel repeatedly, his face a mask of stern shock.
17:46Through the chaos, Michael Corinthos sat frozen.
17:49His lawyer was frantically whispering in his ear, but Michael seemed to not hear him.
17:54He was staring at Jacinda, his world, his carefully constructed life, imploding around him in real
17:59time.
18:01The facade of the powerful, untouchable air was gone, revealing a hollow, terrified man staring
18:06into the abyss of his own actions.
18:07It was at that precise moment that the main doors of the courtroom swung open.
18:13Two uniformed police officers, their faces set in grim, professional lines, marched in,
18:18followed by a stern-looking police captain.
18:21They bypassed the chaotic gallery entirely and walked purposefully towards the defense table.
18:26The entire room seemed to freeze, the noise dying down to a stunned hush as all eyes followed
18:31their progress.
18:32The lead officer approached the bench.
18:35Your Honor, the captain said, his voice cutting cleanly through the silence, apologies for the
18:40interruption.
18:42Based on the new evidence just presented under oath by Ms. Grace, evidence which has now been
18:46formally verified and entered into the record by the district attorney's office, we have
18:50probable cause to arrest Michael Corinthos for the additional, and far more serious, charge
18:54of involuntary manslaughter.
18:55He then turned to the defense table.
18:59Michael's lawyer shot to his feet, objecting vehemently, but it was futile.
19:04The legal machinery was now in motion, and it was merciless.
19:09Michael Corinthos, the captain declared, his voice echoing in the dead silence, you are under
19:13arrest for the death of J.G., an unborn fetus, as per the new evidence presented.
19:17You have the right to remain silent.
19:21The words were drowned out by the fresh wave of uproar.
19:25As the officers moved to handcuff him, the scene became one of surreal pandemonium.
19:30Michael was pulled to his feet, his hands being secured behind his back.
19:35The metallic click of the handcuffs was a small, sharp sound that seemed to finalize everything.
19:40The sound of a life of privilege and power crashing down.
19:43He didn't struggle.
19:46He didn't protest.
19:49He simply looked across the room one last time at Jacinda, who had sunk back into the
19:53witness chair, her body trembling with the aftershocks of her confession, but her head
19:57held high.
19:58In her eyes, there was no triumph, only a vast, desolate peace.
20:03The truth, the whole, horrific truth, was finally out.
20:07The secret was no longer hers to carry alone.
20:10As Michael was led away, past his weeping mother and his stoic, shattered father, past
20:16the flashing cameras and the stunned faces of his peers, the world of Port Charles shifted
20:20on its axis.
20:21The spoilers for General Hospital, as they would be reported in breathless headlines for
20:25days to come, were no longer just plot points in a soap opera.
20:29They were the stark, brutal facts of a tragedy that had been hiding in plain sight, a shocking
20:34news story ripped from the darkest corners of human relationship, finally revealed in a
20:38courtroom where justice, long delayed, had arrived with a thunderous, unforgiving finality.
20:43The reign of Michael Corinthos was over.
20:46The long, hard road of Jacinda's healing, at last, could truly begin.
20:51The courtroom was packed, tension thick in the air as the judge called for silence.
20:56Every seat was filled, every breath drawn in anticipation.
20:59People had been whispering for days that something huge was coming, but no one could have predicted
21:05that Jacinda would be the one to turn the entire case upside down.
21:09She stood in the witness box, her hands trembling slightly as she glanced toward Michael, who sat
21:13at the defense table looking confident, too confident.
21:17He thought he had it all figured out, that Jacinda would protect him like she always had.
21:21But this time, things were different.
21:25Jacinda had carried the weight of too many secrets, and today, she was ready to let it
21:29all out.
21:31The judge asked her to proceed, and the courtroom fell silent, every eye fixed on her.
21:36Jacinda took a deep breath, her voice steady but heavy with emotion.
21:40Your Honor, she began, there's something I need to tell the court, something that changes
21:44everything.
21:46Michael shifted uneasily, trying to catch her eye, but she didn't look at him.
21:50His attorney leaned in, whispering urgently, don't react.
21:55Stay calm.
21:57But Michael couldn't help it, his jaw tightened, his legs started bouncing under the table.
22:02Jacinda continued, her voice growing stronger.
22:06For weeks, I've been hiding what really happened that night.
22:10I told myself it was for the best, but I was protecting someone I cared about.
22:14But the truth is, I was protecting a criminal.
22:18Gasps rippled through the room, and the judge banged the gavel.
22:23Order!
22:24But there was no stopping Jacinda now.
22:28She looked directly at Michael.
22:30It was you.
22:32You're the one who set everything in motion.
22:35You're the one who made sure the evidence disappeared.
22:39Michael's face drained of color.
22:40Jacinda, don't do this, he hissed under his breath, but she ignored him.
22:46The prosecutor stood, seizing the moment.
22:49Miss Jacobs, she said firmly, are you saying under oath that the defendant, Michael Carinthos,
22:54tampered with the evidence?
22:56Jacinda nodded, tears filling her eyes.
22:59Yes.
23:01He told me to lie.
23:03He made me falsify the report to cover up what he'd done.
23:07The courtroom erupted again, reporters typing furiously as camera flashes went off like fireworks.
23:13Carly, sitting behind Michael, covered her mouth in shock.
23:17She looked between her son and Jacinda, her heart racing.
23:21Michael, what did you do?
23:24She whispered, but Michael didn't answer.
23:27He stared straight ahead, his world collapsing piece by piece.
23:31The judge called for order again, glaring at the chaos unfolding.
23:35If there's one more outburst, I'll clear this courtroom, he warned.
23:40Jacinda wiped her tears and kept going.
23:43I didn't want to believe it.
23:45I loved him.
23:47I thought I was helping him, but when I found out the truth, when I saw the proof,
23:51I knew I couldn't keep quiet anymore.
23:54The prosecutor approached with a document in hand.
23:58Ms. Jacobs, is this the evidence you're referring to?
24:01Jacinda nodded.
24:03Yes.
24:05Those are the files Michael had me alter.
24:08And this, she reached into her bag and pulled out a flash drive, her hand shaking,
24:12this contains the original copies.
24:14The real ones.
24:16The courtroom collectively gasped again.
24:19The judge leaned forward.
24:22Bailiff, take that into evidence immediately.
24:25Michael's lawyer jumped up, furious.
24:28Your Honor, this is highly irregular.
24:32My client had no knowledge of any altered files.
24:35This is a desperate attempt by a disgruntled ex to ruin his reputation.
24:40But Jacinda wasn't done.
24:42Disgruntled ex, she said sharply.
24:44You think I wanted this?
24:47You think I wanted to destroy someone I once loved?
24:51No.
24:52I'm doing this because I can't live with the guilt anymore.
24:56Michael finally snapped.
24:58You're lying, he shouted, standing up.
25:02The judge slammed his gavel down.
25:05Mr. Corinthos, sit down.
25:07But Michael was shaking, anger flashing in his eyes.
25:10She's trying to save herself.
25:14She's the one who stole that evidence, not me.
25:17Jacinda turned toward him, tears streaming down her cheeks.
25:21You told me to, Michael.
25:24You said if I didn't, everything we worked for would be gone.
25:28You said no one would ever find out.
25:31But you were wrong.
25:32The silence that followed was suffocating.
25:36The prosecutor folded her arms, watching Michael unravel.
25:40Your Honor, she said calmly, the state moves for immediate remand based on new evidence and witness testimony indicating obstruction of justice.
25:48Michael's lawyer shouted in protest, but it was no use.
25:52The judge sighed, shaking his head.
25:55Given the seriousness of the allegations and the new evidence, I have no choice but to revoke bail.
26:01He turned to the bailiff.
26:02Take him into custody.
26:05The room exploded again as Michael's mother cried out, no.
26:10Please, he didn't do this.
26:12The bailiff moved in, pulling Michael's hands behind his back.
26:17Michael struggled, looking at Jacinda with disbelief.
26:20You ruined me, he said quietly, his voice breaking.
26:24After everything I did for you.
26:27Jacinda's voice was trembling but firm.
26:29You did this to yourself, Michael.
26:33I just told the truth.
26:35The bailiff led him away, and Michael's lawyer followed, shouting about appeals and mistrials.
26:41The cameras caught every second as Michael was escorted out in handcuffs, the image instantly going viral.
26:47After the chaos settled, Jacinda remained on the stand, visibly shaken.
26:52The judge leaned forward.
26:53Miss Jacobs, I hope you understand the magnitude of what you've done today.
26:59Jacinda nodded.
27:01I do, your honor.
27:03I've been living with this lie for months.
27:06I couldn't carry it anymore.
27:08The judge sighed.
27:10Very well.
27:12You may step down.
27:15Jacinda walked off the stand, barely able to breathe as she made her way to the exit.
27:20Reporters swarmed her immediately.
27:23Jacinda, why did you come forward now, one asked.
27:26Did someone pressure you, another shouted.
27:30Jacinda stopped, looking straight into the cameras.
27:33No one pressured me, she said.
27:36I did it because it was the right thing to do.
27:39Outside the courthouse, the scene was chaotic.
27:43News vans, photographers, and bystanders crowded the steps.
27:46Carly emerged a few minutes later, her face pale.
27:51She ignored the reporters and went straight to her car, slamming the door shut.
27:56Her hands gripped the steering wheel, and tears spilled down her cheeks.
28:01My son, she whispered.
28:03How could this happen?
28:05At the same time, in another part of town, Sonny got the call.
28:10His expression hardened as he listened to the news on the other end.
28:13They arrested Michael, he repeated, disbelief giving way to fury.
28:18Who's behind this?
28:20When he heard Jacinda's name, his tone darkened.
28:24I want to know everything about her.
28:27Now.
28:28Back in the jail, Michael sat alone in the holding cell, his mind spinning.
28:33He replayed Jacinda's words over and over, trying to figure out where everything went wrong.
28:39He'd trusted her.
28:40He'd thought she was on his side.
28:43His lawyer came to see him, trying to reassure him.
28:47We'll fight this, the attorney said.
28:50We'll discredit her testimony.
28:52There's no solid proof yet.
28:55But Michael wasn't listening.
28:58He stared blankly ahead.
29:00She had the flash drive, he muttered.
29:03The original files.
29:04How did she even get them?
29:08The lawyer frowned.
29:10We'll find out.
29:12But for now, keep quiet.
29:14Don't say anything to anyone.
29:17Meanwhile, Jacinda returned home, feeling both relieved and terrified.
29:22She poured herself a glass of water, her hands still trembling.
29:26Her phone buzzed, an unknown number.
29:29She hesitated, then answered.
29:32A cold voice spoke on the other end.
29:35You shouldn't have done that.
29:37Jacinda froze.
29:39Who is this?
29:41The voice laughed softly.
29:43You think you can just expose him and walk away?
29:47You have no idea what you've started.
29:50The line went dead.
29:52Jacinda dropped the phone, her heart racing.
29:55She knew exactly what that meant.
29:57Michael wasn't the only one involved.
30:00There were others, people who had just lost everything because of her testimony.
30:05Back at the police station, Dante arrived to see Michael behind bars.
30:09You want to tell me what's going on?
30:11He asked.
30:13Michael looked up at his brother, his voice bitter.
30:16She turned on me.
30:18She gave them everything.
30:20Dante sighed, rubbing his temples.
30:22Michael, if you really did what she said, you need to come clean.
30:28This is serious.
30:30Michael glared at him.
30:32I didn't do it.
30:34She's lying to save herself.
30:36Dante studied him for a moment, unsure whether to believe him.
30:41Then you better prove it, he said quietly.
30:43As the night fell over Port Charles, word of Michael's arrest spread quickly.
30:49Everyone was talking, at Kelly's, the Metro Court, even at General Hospital.
30:54People speculated about what Jacinda's revelation meant for the Corinthos family.
30:58Some said Michael would never recover from this, others believed he'd fight his way out like
31:03a true Corinthos.
31:05But deep down, those who knew the family best understood this wasn't just about one bad decision.
31:10It was about trust, loyalty, and betrayal at the highest level.
31:15Jacinda sat alone by her window, staring out at the city lights, wondering if she'd done the
31:20right thing.
31:20She knew she'd just set off a chain reaction that couldn't be stopped.
31:25Somewhere out there, powerful people were already planning their next move.
31:30And though she'd exposed the truth, she couldn't shake the feeling that this was far from over.
31:35Because in Port Charles, every truth comes with a price, and Jacinda was about to find out
31:40just how high that price really was.
31:42Meanwhile, in his cell, Michael clenched his fists and whispered to himself,
31:47This isn't the end.
31:48She thinks she can destroy me?
31:51She has no idea who she's dealing with.
31:54His eyes darkened, a storm brewing behind them.
31:57One thing was certain, the war between Michael and Jacinda had only just begun.
32:02And as dawn broke over Port Charles, the fallout from Jacinda's shocking courtroom confession
32:06would ripple through every family, every friendship, and every secret still buried in the shadows.
32:11There was a lot of early Public
32:26story.
32:27There was no one who died if she Could've been left.
32:28There was no one who died if she had to leave the hospital.
32:30There was only one who died if she could've been left, but she could never had to leave me.
