00:00He had a heart attack. Is he okay?
00:02I don't know. They said it's pretty severe. He is going to need bypass surgery.
00:07What?
00:07Dr. Robinson!
00:09Sorry, is that okay?
00:11But please tell me my dad's gonna be okay.
00:13He is in critical but stable condition.
00:16We're giving him oxygen and medication to help improve the blood flow to his heart.
00:20When is Ned supposed to have surgery?
00:22We still need to run a few more tests.
00:24I'm sorry, didn't Lucas say that his LAD artery is completely blocked?
00:28What does that even mean? Is that true?
00:31We're waiting on confirmation from the cardiologist.
00:34Based on initial tests.
00:36Yes, that is correct.
00:38It means Ned had a Widowmaker heart attack.
00:41You need to operate immediately.
00:47Well, happy to see you were hydrating.
00:50Health gets dry when you're nervous. Can't have that during a debate.
00:55And you should be nervous.
00:56See that crowd out there?
00:58Huge turnout.
01:01That's the good news, Ezra.
01:02Mm-hmm.
01:03Yeah, democracy works best.
01:05When the voters are engaged.
01:08Indeed they do.
01:09And they will be fully engaged when I tell them that your police commissioner went MIA and you replaced her with the son of the local crime boss.
01:18And here I thought that you were going to focus on the issues for once.
01:23Yes, your relationship with Sonny Corinto is the issue, and it's going to be your downfall.
01:29Now, I wouldn't worry about that old gasp at your baby's sister.
01:39No, he's old cop.
01:41Okay.
01:42I know you're angry with me, but I am here to offer you some support.
01:51If you want it.
01:54If you want it.
01:55The ghost seems clear.
01:56Is this supposed to be this easy?
01:58It's all jinxed us.
01:59Really?
02:00Well, Emma said security was supposed to be focused on Grandma's debate in Peterson Hall.
02:04And she's right.
02:05Yeah.
02:05I know Emma didn't want us to break in on our own, but this looks like her best chance to prove Dalton's legally testing on animals.
02:12She's not going to care what we did or how once we bring her the proof she needs.
02:15I mean, do you have Britt's key fob?
02:17Yeah.
02:17It's right here.
02:18Sweet.
02:22What the hell?
02:23Here, let me try.
02:23Let me try.
02:27Are you sure this is the right one?
02:29It's the only one she had.
02:35Ready?
02:41Let's go.
02:45Heard you managed to get Willow released on bail.
02:49Nice work, Alexis.
02:50I'm so glad you're pleased.
02:51I'll be pleased when I actually see her.
02:55She hasn't come home yet, so I thought maybe she was here.
02:59She's not hiding anywhere.
03:01Any idea where she is?
03:03All I know is she had something important to do.
03:17Didn't your mother teach you to knock?
03:21Robin!
03:22Robin!
03:30All right.
03:33You've been hosting us.
03:37追ave us.
03:38Everybody falls.
03:40Come on.
03:42Come on.
03:43Come on.
03:45Come on.
03:46Let's go.
03:47If you want me to leave, I'll understand.
03:54No.
03:56Of course not.
04:03That's a relief.
04:04I was starting to think you were never going to speak to me again
04:06after I falsified Monica's will to spite Tracy.
04:12Not to mention forcing Ronnie to sell a home she didn't legally own to Drew.
04:17Yeah, after that.
04:19Yeah.
04:19Well, I think I told you how disappointed I was about all of that,
04:23but you're my brother.
04:28I'm not going to kick you out of my life.
04:30Kick me out of your house, though.
04:33With good reason.
04:34I know, I know, I know.
04:35I surrender.
04:38I know.
04:39I messed up badly.
04:40Yeah.
04:41So I want to make some amends, you know?
04:43Be a better brother.
04:44That's why I'm here tonight.
04:46Although I got to be honest, I already know who I'm going to vote for.
04:50I appreciate that.
04:51Yeah.
04:52I can't stay for the, uh, for the debate,
04:55but I think I can offer you a couple pointers on how to handle old Ezra.
05:00Isn't that going to get you in trouble with Drew?
05:04He's worked ugly hard to get old Ezra elected.
05:08Congressman pays my bills, but that's all.
05:12There's not enough money on this earth to make me turn my back on my baby sister.
05:16My loyalty to you comes first.
05:26Close the guard behind me in case security makes a circuit.
05:29The mice should be around here somewhere.
05:34Found it.
05:38Whoa.
05:40Oh my God.
05:41Where are all the animals?
05:44Is Brett right?
05:45Should my dad be in surgery right now?
05:47A coronary artery bypass is a very complicated operation.
05:51We want to make sure that it's absolutely necessary.
05:54Now, if the block is less severe, we might be able to insert a stent.
05:59You're being overly cautious and that could prove fatal.
06:02Britt, can I have a word?
06:04I'm just trying to get them.
06:04Right now.
06:05You are way out of line.
06:14You need to get Ned into the OR right now.
06:16No, what I need to do is stop you from scaring that family.
06:19I am telling them the truth.
06:21The truth is you're a disgraced OBGYN busted down to a ward clerk.
06:25You are not authorized to treat patients.
06:28Like it or not, it's my call.
06:30It's not yours.
06:32Get Ned into surgery and I'd like it just fine, okay?
06:35And just so you know, if it weren't for me, he may not even have made it to the hospital.
06:39And you're right.
06:40And now that he's here, you need to step back and let me handle it.
06:44Then handle it already, okay?
06:45Because your inaction could get him killed.
06:49Mommy, I missed you so much.
06:52Sweetheart, I've missed you too.
06:54I thought she was imprisoned.
06:57I guess she made Bill.
07:00Daddy, look who I found.
07:03Whoa.
07:04This is quite a surprise.
07:07For both of us.
07:09I heard my mom brought Wiley here.
07:11I had no idea I'd find him here with you and your friend.
07:16Mommy, this is Jacinda.
07:18Oh, I know all about Jacinda.
07:20We met once before.
07:23Although I almost didn't recognize her with so many clothes on.
07:26Are you trying to get yourself fired?
07:34I'll break.
07:35Hey, I was just going to get some fresh air.
07:37Why don't you come with me?
07:38You know, all this tension can make a bad situation worse.
07:42I just need to let everybody breathe and we can wait at Bobby's until we hear something.
07:48I think that's a good idea.
07:50Yeah.
07:50I think that's a good idea.
07:51Have you done enough for one day?
07:54Fine.
07:54I'll meet you outside.
08:03When Gio and I found Ned outside, I was totally freaked out, but not Gio.
08:09Just jumped into help.
08:10No, I just knew I had to do something.
08:14But if you hadn't gone inside to grab bread, things would have turned a whole lot worse for Grandpa.
08:20You sure this is the right lab?
08:22I mean...
08:22The key fob works.
08:23This has to be it.
08:24Maybe they'll move the animals.
08:26Maybe Emma got this all wrong.
08:28Maybe we should just get out of here.
08:30Not yet.
08:30Okay, let's dig around and see if there's any evidence that Dalton's been secretly testing on animals.
08:35This could take a while.
08:36Charlotte and I can search.
08:37You should go.
08:38What if you're staying and I'm staying?
08:40Annie, don't risk it.
08:41You've been in trouble before.
08:43Yeah, if we end up getting caught, you have a lot more to lose than we do.
08:46Like Scout, Drew doesn't need another reason to keep you from seeing her.
08:49Thank you for looking out for me.
08:51I'm not leaving.
08:52We're in this together.
08:53Besides, it'll be a lot faster with the three of us.
08:57Okay, then.
08:58Let's get started.
08:58Let's go.
09:02Well, now that I'm here, we might as well discuss Willow's defense strategy.
09:07Yeah, I'm not discussing that with you.
09:10Willow is my client.
09:12You are not.
09:13I am footing the bills, though.
09:16Right?
09:17And your access to Scout depends on my goodwill.
09:21I'm well aware.
09:22Well, then you're also aware that I could choose to enforce the restraining order at any time.
09:30Yes, you've made it abundantly clear that our dynamic is extortion-based.
09:36Even so, if you're looking to dictate my defense's strategy, there's the door.
09:42I'm not looking for the X's and O's of the entire game plan here, Alexis.
09:45I just want to make sure that we're all on the same page.
09:50I will do everything in my power as Willow's attorney to exonerate her.
09:54And you'll do that by implicating Michael, correct?
10:01Yes, I will bring up Michael as an alternative suspect.
10:07And everyone else who could have possibly shot you.
10:10It's good to see you again, Willow.
10:14It seems a lot has changed since we last ran into each other.
10:19Clearly.
10:20Although it appears you're in the same line of work.
10:23Actually, I've taken a new position as an assistant for your mom at Crimson.
10:32That's great.
10:36I'm guessing you had something to do with that.
10:38Hey, Wiley, this has been so much fun, buddy.
10:41But, you know, it's getting kind of late.
10:44I think maybe we should wrap this up, yeah?
10:46But Mommy just got here.
10:48I know, but it's almost your bedtime.
10:50So, say goodnight, okay?
10:53Okay.
10:55I'm so happy I got to see you.
10:57I've been worried about you ever since I looked at it, took you away.
11:02Sweetheart, you don't have to worry about me anymore.
11:07I'm back.
11:09And I'm not going away.
11:10Okay.
11:11Ever again.
11:16Do you believe the way Portia treated me?
11:19How disrespectful can one person be?
11:21And considering the secret I'm keeping for her, I'm not smart.
11:23I don't need to really know about any secrets, but it just seemed like Portia was acting in the best interest of the hospital.
11:29She was trying to shield G.H. and you from a major lawsuit.
11:33Oh, please.
11:34The board may not have reinstated me, but I am a damn good doctor.
11:39Okay.
11:40Nobody's saying otherwise.
11:41Then why am I working as a glorified receptionist?
11:45I hate my stupid job.
11:48I hate the room above this diner.
11:50I hate you for making me come back to Port Charles.
11:54That's not exactly how I remember it.
11:56Hey, you may not have kidnapped me, but you basically gave me no other option but to come back here.
12:02I had a good thing going at the five poppies until you showed up and ruined everything.
12:08So what?
12:10You're saying you wish you still worked for Pascal?
12:13I'm just saying I wish I was anywhere but Port Charles.
12:19Well, I'm grateful you're here.
12:23And I bet Ned is too.
12:27I just received the results of Ned's coronary angiogram,
12:30and it confirmed there is full blockage in his biggest heart rate,
12:35which means that 50% of the blood flowing to his heart has been cut off.
12:40Oh, my God.
12:40So he'll definitely need bypass surgery then.
12:43Unfortunately so.
12:45He's being moved to the OR as we speak.
12:49Olivia, would you mind coming with me to sign some paperwork so we can get started?
12:53Of course, whatever you need, Doc.
12:54Please, Dr. Robinson, tell me the truth.
12:57Is my dad going to make you?
13:01I promise you, I'm going to do everything that I can to make sure that your dad pulls through.
13:07Thank you, Dr. Robinson.
13:08You're a big hug and kiss for me, okay?
13:23I will.
13:24Okay, Wiley.
13:25Time to go, buddy.
13:26Is Jacinda coming with us?
13:28I want to show myself Spider Fred.
13:31Yeah.
13:32Yeah, sure.
13:34I mean, if that's okay with you.
13:36Of course.
13:38I'd love to meet Fred.
13:40Hey.
13:41Bye, Mommy.
13:42Bye, kiddo.
13:43I'll see you soon.
13:48Our son is just a little boy.
13:50How could you expose him to a sex worker?
13:53As opposed to a would-be murderer.
13:56Michael, it can't continue.
13:59It just can't.
13:59Yeah, well, you don't have much of a say in the matter, do you?
14:03I know you framed me.
14:06I never dreamed you were capable of something like that.
14:09Or that things as bad as they are would devolve to this.
14:13But I know you put that gun in my room.
14:18And Alexis and I will prove it.
14:20And then you'll be the one left out in the cult.
14:30I don't want you introducing any other suspects besides Michael by the time Willow was acquitted.
14:36I want the police there waiting to slap the cuffs on my nephew.
14:40What is your priority here?
14:42Is it exonerating Willow or is it convicting Michael?
14:46I don't see why it can't be both.
14:48Well, then you need to look a little harder.
14:49Because my priority is to convince a jury that Willow is innocent.
14:53And anything other than that is a distraction that could cost her her freedom.
14:57Well, then maybe you need a little bit of help.
15:00You know, fresh set of eyes.
15:02As it happens, I've already asked Martin Gray to be your co-counsel.
15:05He'll be here later to see you.
15:06Oh, hell no.
15:07I do not need co-counsel.
15:09Well, it kind of sounds like you do.
15:12That way, you can focus on proving that Willow's innocent.
15:18And Martin can focus on proving Michael shot me.
15:22You aren't getting this at all.
15:25You've got the rest of your life to go after Michael.
15:28I've got one shot to free Willow.
15:31And if you insist on pushing your agenda, there's a very good chance she's going to end up in prison.
15:36I think I'm really facing an uphill battle here tonight.
15:42Ezra's got some major ammunition that he can use against me.
15:45What are you talking about?
15:47Oh, that's right.
15:47You don't know.
15:48Okay.
15:48There's been a change of leadership over at the PCPD.
15:53Anna Devane had to go on special assignment for the WSB.
15:56So, I had to appoint an acting police commissioner.
16:00So, who'd you put in charge?
16:02Well, I wanted Max Scorpio, of course, because he is the first choice.
16:05So, I went to him.
16:06And the thing is that he has to commute back and forth to Boston so that he can see his daughter.
16:12And so, he declined.
16:16Disappointing, but not surprising.
16:17Yes, I agree.
16:18I agree.
16:19So?
16:19So, I appointed the next most qualified person available, and that is Dante Falconeri.
16:30Sonny-san.
16:31Oh.
16:33Okay, just say it.
16:34You can say it, but it's political suicide, right?
16:37Don't jump down my throat.
16:38I didn't go there.
16:39You got to admit, you know, the optics aren't that great.
16:42But it's okay.
16:43Look, I know you well enough to know you don't base your decisions on what's politically expedient.
16:46You base them on what's right.
16:50Yeah.
16:51Except Ezra Boyle's not going to spin it that way.
16:55He's going to say that it's another sign that I'm in Sonny's pocket.
16:59Which means you are going to have to defend your decision based on the facts.
17:06So, I tell you what.
17:08Come here.
17:09Come here.
17:10Come here.
17:10Let's get started.
17:11Mayor Collins, please, tell me, by all means, why on earth did you select, of all people, Dante Falconeri?
17:19Because he has years of dedicated service to the PCPD.
17:23He has more commendations than I can count.
17:25He has a sterling review report.
17:27And because he's very highly thought of amongst his peers.
17:31All right.
17:32There you go.
17:33You're gorgeous.
17:34Come on, man.
17:35That's a pretty solid reasoning to me.
17:37And I'll bet you cash money.
17:39The people of poor Charles are going to see it the same way.
17:42I wish I was as confident as you are.
17:46But listen.
17:47There's something else that I'm kind of concerned about.
17:49You know, Dante is my grandson's father.
17:53So what?
17:54You think that Ezra's going to start whining about nepotism?
17:58Oh, I know he is.
18:00I know he is.
18:01But the thing is, what I'm really concerned about is that Rocco is also Sonny's grandson.
18:08Right?
18:09Huh.
18:10I'm concerned that Rocco might get caught in the crossfire.
18:15You guys find anything?
18:17No.
18:18Nothing that indicates Dalton's been testing on animals.
18:20I mean, I found some of Dalton's research, but it's just equations.
18:24I don't even understand them.
18:26Hold that upside down.
18:28Oh.
18:29Yeah.
18:29Yeah, that didn't even help.
18:31Well, this was a total fail.
18:32Let's get out of here.
18:39It's...
18:40Hello, I got your message.
19:01Is everything okay?
19:02What happened?
19:03No.
19:03I just had a terrible run-in with Michael.
19:07He won't believe what he did now.
19:09Try me.
19:13I...
19:14As soon as I made bail, I called the quarter mains to check in on the kids.
19:17And thankfully, Yuri picked up because besides Chase, he's the only person in that house who actually respects the fact that I'm Wiley and Amelia's mother.
19:25What did he say?
19:25He told me that Nina had picked up Wiley and brought him here.
19:30I thought it would be the perfect chance to see my son, but when I walked in...
19:35Wiley was sitting eating ice cream with...
19:38Michael and that hooker that Nina paid to drug you.
19:42Michael was here with Jacinda?
19:43Yes.
19:44They were sitting here acting like some pseudo-family.
19:48There was nothing I could do about it.
19:50Is this your daughter's artwork?
19:55What?
19:56So hard to believe that I could have drawn something this amazing?
20:00A little.
20:01Hmm.
20:03Did Wiley finally give up and go to sleep?
20:06It took some wrangling.
20:07He was still pretty hopped up on the sugar from his ice cream sundae.
20:10The man likes his classic toppings.
20:13The classics do have a lot of sugar in them.
20:15Yeah, I should probably not make hot fudge much of a habit before bed.
20:20But you would be pleased to know that he thinks you have excellent taste in toppings.
20:26Hmm.
20:27Something he and I have in common.
20:30He was also really excited that you were happy to meet Fred.
20:34It was a brief meeting, but memorable just the same.
20:37Wiley's a really sweet kid, Michael.
20:43Yeah, and he is, isn't he?
20:46He was really impressed by you tonight.
20:49And so was I.
20:51You handled Mina and Willow perfectly.
20:54I still have a hard time doing that.
20:56I have a lot more practice than you.
20:58I just didn't want to spill ice cream on myself.
21:00But, perfect or no, they're going to try to use what happened tonight against you in family court.
21:09Well, they won't get the chance if Willow's convicted of attempted murder.
21:14Fred, you saved Ned's life today.
21:17And I'm always going to be grateful for that.
21:20Yeah, well, don't celebrate so soon.
21:22He's not out of the woods just yet.
21:23Yeah, no, I know that.
21:25But at least he has a fighting chance.
21:29And I just hope I get the chance to say thank you to him for everything he's done for our family.
21:38What do you mean?
21:39Years ago, I walked away from my parents.
21:49I walked away from my grandparents.
21:53And I know Ned must have wanted to do the same more than once, but he didn't.
22:00He stuck around.
22:01I imagine all the money and power that comes with being a court of Maine played a small part in his decision to stay.
22:10Yeah, maybe.
22:12Maybe it did, but he really cared about our family.
22:16And he kept it together through some very, very difficult times.
22:21And I just want to tell him how much I appreciate that.
22:23And just like I appreciate everything you did for Ned today.
22:28Jason, you're giving me way too much credit.
22:31Gio was already there performing CPR by the time I got there.
22:34Well, but you made sure that Ned got to the hospital.
22:36You made sure that Gio's grandfather didn't die while he was trying to save him.
22:42That would have completely devastated Gio.
22:45But that didn't happen because of you.
22:48I really hate it when you talk about me like I'm a good person because you're wrong.
22:52I'm not wrong.
22:55And you know it.
22:56Dante's in the middle of a case and he asked me to keep an eye on his mom for him.
23:02I think Olivia's downstairs in the chapel.
23:05I know.
23:05I was just trying to give her a little privacy.
23:08Would it be okay if I just waited with you guys in the meantime?
23:13It's public space.
23:14I know, but I also know that you basically hate me and I just worry that my presence might make things harder for you.
23:22You're only half, right?
23:25Sit down already.
23:26You know, Ned and I had a really good conversation earlier.
23:37I actually felt like the first step in having a real relationship with him as my grandfather.
23:42Yeah, it was.
23:42And I'm sure he felt the same way.
23:45What if that one conversation is all I'm ever going to get with him?
23:48I wish that all this time keeping him at arm's length and he didn't even do anything wrong.
23:54You were going through a lot, okay?
23:56And Ned knew that.
23:57That's why he was giving you the space that you needed to figure things out on your own.
24:00He did.
24:01And he could have tried to pressure me into getting to know him, but he didn't.
24:04He waited for me to seek him out.
24:06And now, because I've waited so long, I may never get another chance.
24:09I wouldn't count your grandfather out just yet.
24:12Okay, you worked really hard to keep him alive.
24:15And I know that he's fighting just as hard to come back to you and the rest of your family.
24:20Do you know what I admire most about you?
24:23What?
24:25You always choose to do the right thing, even when it makes your life more difficult.
24:34I think people call it integrity.
24:40See, I wouldn't know.
24:41It's sort of a foreign concept to me.
24:45Well, just so you know, it's not such an easy path for me to walk either.
24:48No, I disagree.
24:50You certainly make it look easy.
24:52And I think it's that integrity that makes you so popular with your constituents.
24:58Darling, they believe in you.
25:02They trust you.
25:04And they look to you for guidance.
25:06And speaking from personal experience, they should.
25:09Yeah, well, I hope they still feel that way after this debate.
25:14You can't let a balloon like Ezra make you doubt yourself.
25:18You know what, it's kind of hard not to when I know that he's going to fight dirty.
25:23So what?
25:24Let him.
25:25That's the beauty of it.
25:26All he's going to do is make the voter's choice easier.
25:30I mean, on one hand, they'll be you.
25:31Oh, and on the other hand, they'll be this sort who's basically not all that bright, slinging mud like a deranged monkey at the zoo.
25:37Oh, I'm serious.
25:38He's just one more damaged little man who's got to bully people to get what he wants.
25:45And then there's me, friend to the mob and nepo-grandma.
25:49Hardly.
25:50There's you, an amazingly lovable and accomplished woman who's got morals and class and intelligence.
26:00A woman who has literally loved this city for decades and the people who live in it.
26:06The same someone who can be counted on to do the right thing for those people no matter what.
26:14Be yourself.
26:15You'll win.
26:17It's a lock.
26:21I am so glad that I still have you in my life.
26:25You're not as happy as I am.
26:28I, unfortunately, have got to go meet up with Alexis.
26:31Oh, it's okay. I understand.
26:35Go get him.
26:37I'll be rooting for you.
26:39I know.
26:50That woman thinks that she can just move things around my lap.
27:10Who's there?
27:11What the hell are you doing here?
27:20What the hell are you doing here?
27:20Hey there.
27:31I heard you were expecting me.
27:33Sadly, yes.
27:34I was hoping to get through to your client that I don't need nor want co-counsel.
27:43Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
27:44I'm a little confused.
27:45I was giving the impression that you were okay with this little arrangement.
27:48Yeah, because that's what he wanted you to think.
27:52All right.
27:52I tried to explain it to him.
27:54I'm going to try to explain it to you.
27:56I work for Willow.
27:57You work for Drew.
27:59And it's become quite clear that their interests do not align.
28:02Why do you say that?
28:05Because your client is obsessed with laying all the blame on Michael, which is going to hurt my client.
28:10The best way to acquit Willow is to introduce as many suspects as possible.
28:16That way I put the PCPD on trial.
28:19And I show the jury that they were rushing to judgment by focusing all their attention on Willow at the exclusion of all the other suspects.
28:28Huh.
28:29Good on you.
28:30It's a solid plan of attack.
28:32I know that.
28:34Tell that to your boss so he leaves me alone.
28:37It took all of my willpower not to run over and pull my son away from that disgusting farce that was playing out in front of me and everyone else here.
28:45You would have played right into Michael's hands if you had.
28:49I had to stop myself from crying.
28:51I tried to sneak away, but Wiley spotted me before I could.
28:54Thankfully, I managed to keep myself together.
28:57It sounds like you handled everything beautifully, Willow.
29:01I am just so upset with Michael.
29:04He has done so many things I never thought he was capable of doing, but exposing our son to a sex worker.
29:11It's just more proof that there is something wrong with him.
29:14I mean, we've known that, especially after he claimed that the kids weren't safe being with you, but it has never been more obvious.
29:22Never that if somebody deserves to lose custody of those kids, it's him.
29:27Say Willow does end up being convicted.
29:33Is it still wise to let people think we're in a relationship?
29:37I mean, I am a sex worker.
29:39You were.
29:41You left that life behind.
29:42You moved on.
29:43And you're still a high-profile figure.
29:47Us being together could end up hurting your image.
29:49Jacinda, I don't care.
29:52I don't care what people think.
29:54And just for the record, I don't have a problem with you being around my kids.
29:59I was actually planning on introducing you anyway, so...
30:03All in all, I think tonight worked out pretty well.
30:07I guess Nina's plan really backfired then.
30:09Yeah.
30:13As she and Willow, they have this nasty habit of putting my kids in terrible positions.
30:23Especially Willow.
30:24It's like she doesn't think things through and it just drives me crazy and I can't...
30:34Sorry.
30:35Sorry, this is exactly what my dad warned me about.
30:39I'm not following.
30:43Willow and her selfish behavior are easy triggers for me.
30:49And her lawyer, Alexis, is going to try to use that against me in court.
30:54She'll call me to stand and...
30:57try to lure me into trashing the mother of my children in front of the jury.
31:01Which will only make it seem like you did frame Willow.
31:05Exactly.
31:06So I have to keep my composure in court, no matter what's said.
31:15Easier said than done.
31:18Yeah, it really is.
31:18But what's equally important is that when you're called to the stand that you're able to provide me with an airtight alibi.
31:29Do you foresee any kind of issues with that?
31:34I want to go have some tea.
31:36Do either of you want any?
31:38Uh, that'd be great. Thanks.
31:41Be right back.
31:41So, how are you holding up?
31:51I'm not.
31:53I'm absolutely terrified.
31:55I can't imagine a world without my dad.
31:58He's always been my constant.
32:00He's kind of a rock for all of us.
32:02When my dad found out that I had given birth to Gio all those years ago, he was so amazing.
32:12And he had every right to be angry with me for keeping it a secret, but he wasn't.
32:16He just loved me and supported me like he always does.
32:21I just can't lose it, Chase.
32:26Hey, that's not going to happen.
32:29You quarter mains are a ridiculously stubborn bunch.
32:34He's not going anywhere without a fight.
32:42How did you get in here?
32:44I stuck in.
32:45Well, that's obvious, isn't it?
32:47Why?
32:48Because you're using this lab to form a legal test on animals.
32:51Now I'm going to prove it.
32:53Well, that's ridiculous.
32:54Do you see animals here?
32:55Do you?
32:55No, because you move them.
32:59I know you, don't I?
33:01You're that kid who works at the Metro Court pool, right?
33:03And you're the guy who doesn't know how to tip.
33:06You're funny, aren't you?
33:08And your grandmother's, uh, they're cons, right?
33:12That's right.
33:13Yeah.
33:13And when she finds out what you're doing, she's going to have you arrested.
33:17Well, you're the one who broke the law.
33:19I'm great from entering.
33:19I'm going to get you arrested.
33:27What was that?
33:28Why did you stop me?
33:30Because Loco just sacrificed himself for us.
33:32If he hadn't distracted Dalton by making noise, he would have found us for sure.
33:41He was saving me from everything that was going to happen if I got caught.
33:45But he's in a world of trouble now.
33:47You have to do something.
33:48I know who can help us.
33:49Are you old enough?
33:52Oh, you know, I'm hanging in there just barely.
33:55I'm so grateful for all of you guys.
33:58It's my family.
33:59It's the only thing that's keeping me together right now.
34:03Mary.
34:04Thank you, Amy.
34:06Don't mention it.
34:07Now I need to thank Britt.
34:08I don't know what would have happened if it wasn't for her.
34:12Well, surprisingly, even Britt would admit that she doesn't deserve all the credit.
34:17What do you mean?
34:18Well, she said that if...
34:21When Ned makes it, it's because Gio took immediate action.
34:26She said he performed CPR until she got there.
34:29He didn't tell me he performed CPR on my death.
34:34Apparently, he's the one that made all the difference.
34:45You know what?
34:46You're nothing if not a damn good lawyer.
34:48So, I'm going to do what I can to convince Drew to back off.
34:52I'm going to explain that you're right.
34:55That I would be in the way of you doing your job.
34:58Which is to give Willow the best possible shot in an acquittal.
35:03Thank you, Martin.
35:04But...
35:05You just make damn sure that every single thing you do, every move you make,
35:10every call is informed by the foreknowledge of Drew Cain's ruthlessness.
35:15Because if you do this...
35:18I mean, if Drew lets you do it your way and you fail to exonerate Willow...
35:24They'll be held to pay.
35:32It's just not fair.
35:34I can't spend time with my own children, but a woman like Jacinda can.
35:40It's not fair.
35:42None of it has been.
35:44But there is a bright side in all this.
35:47Because we're going to make sure Michael's bad judgment is front and center in the court.
35:51And then we're going to use that against him.
35:53A jury is not going to like it any more than we do.
35:55That's great, Drew, but he's not the one on trial.
35:59I am.
36:00He will be.
36:02I've instructed Alexis to exonerate you by making a case that Michael is the one that shot me.
36:07So once this is over, Michael is going to be the one in prison.
36:12And your kids will never have to see him ever again.
36:16You need to be certain.
36:20Is there anyone who can definitively say that we were not together when Drew was shot?
36:27If you have any doubt, anything scratching at the back of your mind, you need to tell me.
36:31You need to tell me now.
36:33After we parted ways, I went straight to my hotel room, where I spent the rest of the evening completely alone.
36:41Okay, great.
36:43So the only people who know that you're covering for me are in this room.
36:49And that's how it's going to stay.
36:54Jacinda, I really appreciate everything you're doing for me.
37:01I can't thank you enough.
37:09Ezra.
37:11Before we go out there tonight, I was wondering if it might be possible to get on the same page.
37:16In what way?
37:18Well, I'd love to debate you on the issues and avoid attacking each other's personal lives.
37:24Ah, of course you would.
37:27But look, if your private life and your association with Sonny Carinthos can't hold up to public scrutiny,
37:34that's your problem.
37:37Now, my personal life is beyond reproach.
37:39Oh, why do I find that hard to believe?
37:43The kids found my purse and left it with one of the waitresses.
37:48Well, I'm glad that worked out.
37:49Yeah, I just hope no one took me, then.
37:51Dad.
37:53Dad, we need your help. You're not going to believe what happened.
37:55Okay, hold it. Slow down. What's going on?
37:57Well, we've broken in the research lab at PCU.
38:01Danny and I got away, but Rocco got caught.
38:02Fine, then. You go ahead and launch all the attacks that you want to.
38:09I will be speaking on the issues, which is what our voters really want to hear about.
38:14Good luck.
38:17Grandma!
38:17Give me campus security.
38:19What are you doing? Get your hands off my grandson.
38:21I just caught this young man breaking my lab, and I want him arrested immediately.
38:31On the next General Hospital.
38:33Start at the beginning. Don't leave anything out.
38:35Nobody is going to arrest my grandson.
38:37It's going to be okay. I'll know what to do.
38:39I come bearing great news.
38:41I'm prepared to prove to you how valuable it can be.
38:44Whose idea was this?
38:45I really need to see you.
