00:00Well, we know Portia wasn't where she said she was at the time of Drew's shooting.
00:06But when could she have gotten access to Edward Quartermain's gun?
00:11Well, Dr. Robinson visited Monica twice a week at the Quartermains
00:16just to keep her up to speed on what was going on at the hospital.
00:21And the Quartermain stated that the gun could have been taken any time prior to the shooting.
00:27Right.
00:27So that gives us means and opportunity, but what's the motive?
00:32What reason did Portia have to shoot Drew?
00:44I know that things are a little bit rocky right now, but everything's going to be okay.
00:51Mommy's got you.
00:55Yes.
00:57I hope it's okay that I'm here.
01:00Of course.
01:03Uh, come on in.
01:04I, um, I heard you had a checkup.
01:10How'd it go?
01:10Hey, Trina, I got here as fast as I could.
01:15Are you okay?
01:16Not even close.
01:17I'm so mad I don't even know what to do with myself.
01:19Okay, you want to tell me what's going on?
01:22I've been thinking, and it's not right.
01:26My parents deserve to know the truth, Kai.
01:28I'm going to tell him that we were at Drew's the night that he was shot.
01:37Hey, hey, is, uh, is my mom with Ned?
01:40Yeah, she's with him now.
01:42I was just bringing him his tablet.
01:43Had it go at the courthouse.
01:45Is he not okay?
01:45No, I went terribly, and he's not okay.
01:48I just watched my son get holed out of court and taken a juvie at handcuffs.
01:53Thank you for all you do.
01:59None of this would happen without you.
02:04Laura!
02:04Hey, how did Rocco's arraignment go?
02:08Horribly wrong.
02:12Sonny said Dante's here to see Ned and Olivia.
02:15Maybe we can catch him up today.
02:16Sounds good.
02:19We need to talk.
02:20What are you doing?
02:21Get off of me!
02:23Not until you and I get a few things straight.
02:34Harley, you're not going to believe this.
02:37What happened?
02:38What happened at the arraignment?
02:39Rocco was taken into custody.
02:41He may be headed to prison unless I do something drastic to stop it.
02:50Sonny.
02:51Turner and I had a deal.
02:53Six months of community service, no felony charges, and no incarceration were on the table.
03:00What went wrong, Rick?
03:07Why did you double-cross my grandson?
03:09tahunny.
03:10One.
03:10Six months.
03:10One.
03:10One.
03:25Tier.
03:26One.
03:26Two.
03:26Drew's enemy list is long, and everyone on it has a pretty good motive.
03:41So why look at someone like Portia, who's not even on the list?
03:46Curtis and Drew have some very public issues,
03:49but Portia doesn't have any direct conflict with Drew
03:53that would put her on the PCPD's radar.
03:57But based on information you've received,
03:59you know that a conflict exists between them.
04:02You just don't know the reason for it.
04:06Exactly.
04:07Which is why I need you.
04:10So far, everything's great.
04:13Things are right on track.
04:16That's wonderful.
04:17So it shouldn't be too long before we can tell everyone that we're expecting.
04:21I know you're excited, and so am I.
04:24I know how badly you want to tell people about the baby,
04:28but I just need you to remember that this is what they consider an older pregnancy.
04:35Right.
04:35It doesn't mean you have to go over the top worrying,
04:38but it does mean that I want to take my time.
04:43I want to make sure the baby's real safe before we say anything to anyone.
04:47Absolutely.
04:48I think you should know.
04:52Someone already figured out that you're pregnant.
04:56My duty is to prosecute the case, Mr. Korinthos.
04:59I have to follow the evidence and the law.
05:02You and Rick had an agreement, and you ambushed him with some so-called evidence.
05:08Worse than that, you ambushed a child.
05:12I thought you were better than that.
05:16Additional evidence was provided by Professor Dalton after I conference with Mr. Lansing.
05:22I couldn't ignore it.
05:23I don't care about the timeline.
05:26I want my grandson released.
05:29Well, that's up to Rocco's attorney.
05:31The bail hearing's in two days.
05:33The state won't oppose it.
05:34What do you say now?
05:36You've already proven yourself to be unreliable and unethical.
05:39Who's to say you won't pull the same kind of stunt in front of a judge at a bail hearing?
05:42Rocco was charged with criminal trespass, vandalism, destruction of digital records and data, and reckless endangerment.
05:53But Lulu, those are felons.
05:54Except Rocco isn't a felon, and he swears up and down that he didn't damage a single thing in that lab.
06:00I believe him.
06:01Everyone does accept the judge.
06:04Rocco doesn't deserve to go to prison.
06:05I am not going to let one little mistake destroy my son's life.
06:09You need to do whatever you can to save Rocco.
06:12Prison will change your son forever.
06:17What's going on?
06:18Emma will catch up with you later.
06:19Right now you and I need to have a little girl talk.
06:22Thanks, I'll stick around.
06:23It's fine.
06:25I can handle her.
06:27I'll meet you upstairs.
06:28You sure?
06:29Yeah.
06:36The next time that you grab me like that, I'll break your wrist.
06:39The next time anyone grabs you, it'll be the cops.
06:42You runty little thief.
06:45I know it was you who got Rocco to steal the key fob to Dalton's lap out of my bag, and now he's headed to prison.
06:51How do things escalate to criminal charges?
06:58Mayor Collins, your assistant told me you'd be voting here.
07:02Oh, yeah.
07:03Well, I could not be here today.
07:06Yeah.
07:06It is election day.
07:07I guess you don't really have a choice, huh?
07:09No.
07:09I just wanted to come by and tell you in person that I set Rocco up at the juvenile detention center myself and made sure he had his own room.
07:17Oh, and that's a relief, I guess?
07:20Oh, yeah.
07:21It's much better than Jen Pop.
07:22And I made sure they know who his friends are.
07:24And that's a good thing, right?
07:26Yeah.
07:27Yeah, he ought to be relatively insulated.
07:30Thank you very much, Nathan.
07:31Tell me, how did Rocco seem to you?
07:35You know, he was just terrified when they pulled him out of the court, and that really upset me.
07:41Yeah, I understand.
07:43I'm young.
07:43He's quite knuckling in a little bit in the beginning, but I think he's calmed down.
07:47I don't blame him.
07:49And it's all because of this guy, this Dalton, Henry Dalton.
07:56And all I could do was stand there and watch him as they took my son to jail.
08:01My God, Dante, that is a nightmare.
08:03I'm so sorry.
08:06You should have heard him.
08:08I mean, he's just yelling to me and Lulu as he's being taken out like that he didn't do anything wrong.
08:14He was terrified.
08:15We were terrified.
08:17What are you describing as terrifying for a kid like Rocco?
08:21I just don't get it.
08:22Rocco is such a good kid.
08:24Now he's breaking into a college professor's lab?
08:29How did he even get involved in something like that?
08:32It was me.
08:33Let's go.
08:35I'm the reason Rocco broke into the lab.
08:38You were in Dalton's office when he gave me that key fob.
08:49I told you to stay away from him and his lab.
08:53Instead, you set all this up?
08:54I thought Dalton was testing on animals and I wanted to prove it.
08:58Okay?
08:58It turns out I was wrong.
09:00Who cares what you wanted to prove?
09:02You didn't break into the lab.
09:04Rocco did.
09:04And now he's suffering the consequences.
09:06That's on you.
09:07Look, I'm still looking at Michael, but I can't rest the hopes of Willow's case solely on him.
09:16It only helps to shift the focus off of Willow and on to other people in addition to Michael.
09:24Yeah, because the police rush to judgment.
09:27They focus solely on Willow and no other suspects.
09:30Like Portia, who the police didn't even interview.
09:32I am not trying to prove that Portia shot Drew.
09:38I'm just trying to present as many viable suspects as possible so that the jury has reasonable doubt and hopefully won't convict Willow.
09:47I don't love that someone is speculating about me being pregnant.
09:52Who knows?
09:53Trina?
09:54No.
09:56But Aunt Stella, she works with you almost every day.
10:00She figured it out.
10:01You're glowing, Portia.
10:03You're not drinking caffeine and frankly, not much gets past you medical professionals.
10:08I guess not.
10:11Well, I guess she had an opinion.
10:14She was less shocked about you being pregnant.
10:18And more concerned about us getting a divorce.
10:23What got you so upset that you changed your mind about telling your parents?
10:26Not what?
10:28Who?
10:30Jordan.
10:31She's been circling my dad like a shark.
10:34And she knows there's been a strain between my parents.
10:37But it's not like they're divorced.
10:38But that's not stopping her from going after a married man.
10:41I'm sorry about all of that.
10:43But what's that got to do with telling your parents about us being at Drew's then?
10:47The strain between my parents' marriage is because of Drew.
10:51If I tell them that the black male material is gone and he has no power over them, the strain disappears.
10:58They stay together and Jordan's back on the cold where she belongs.
11:01You know, you sandbagged me.
11:04And for what?
11:04To get up in front of the court and make some big public show that you're going after the grandson of Sonny Corentos and Mayor Collins?
11:10You think I want to make headlines by beating up...
11:12I think you want to do whatever it takes to be able to secure your position at the DA's office.
11:16It doesn't matter who gets caught in the crossfire.
11:18You know what, Sonny?
11:19I'll talk to you later.
11:21Don't worry.
11:21This isn't over.
11:22Not by a long shot.
11:29You heard what Rocco said.
11:31He didn't trash that lab.
11:35It was that guy, Dalton, who's setting up my grandson.
11:41And you know what?
11:44You're falling for it.
11:45I was there when the police were questioning Rocco and Dalton.
11:52And at no point did the professor mention anything about his lab having been vandalized.
11:59Well, it seems like something that would have come up.
12:01Exactly.
12:02Yes.
12:02And it didn't come up because it didn't happen.
12:04I know Rocco was someplace that he shouldn't have been, but he told us he didn't do this thing.
12:10And I know my grandson would not lie to me about that.
12:14I'm sure Nathan and Dante and the rest of the PCPD won't stop until Rocco's name is cleared.
12:22Right.
12:23Yeah.
12:23And I just hope that's going to be enough to get him out of this situation.
12:28Um, yeah.
12:29You know, the last thing on my mind right now is this election.
12:33But as I have told the other citizens of Port Charles to come and vote, I must do the same.
12:38So if you'll excuse me, I will cast my ballot.
12:47Gio, we all feel responsible for what happened to Rocco.
12:51It's hard not to.
12:52No, no, that's not it.
12:53This really is on me.
12:56I played a role in what happened, and you deserve to know that.
13:01Gio, I don't think right now is the time to do it.
13:02No, no.
13:06I would like to hear this.
13:08I joined a group on campus that Emma created called Students Against Animal Cruelty.
13:15We were convinced that Professor Dalton was testing on animals.
13:19We wanted to get into his lab to find evidence, but we needed to create a diversion to do it.
13:26And?
13:27We recruited Danny, Rocco, and Charlotte to help us.
13:38I'll keep looking into Portia.
13:40She's lying about her whereabouts, which begs the question, why?
13:45And what is she hiding?
13:50I'm in a meeting.
13:51Uh, hi, Felicia.
13:54I'm really sorry to interrupt.
13:55I need to speak with you about Rocco Falcon, Henry.
14:01Can we reconvene some other time?
14:03Of course.
14:05I'll be in touch.
14:06Okay.
14:13I heard you were representing Rocco, but I just assumed that it was a rumor because Sonny hates you,
14:21and he'd never let you anywhere near his grandson.
14:22Sonny and I are making peace for our daughter's sakes.
14:28Maybe you and I should do the same.
14:29You didn't strike me as a bully, but you would go after a child.
14:37I mean, I thought it would be beneath you.
14:40I am doing my job.
14:42No, you're not.
14:43If you were, you would be investigating Dalton's claims and the evidence that you say he has.
14:49Is there any chance that you just don't want to believe that your grandson could be guilty?
14:55If Rocco says he didn't do it, he didn't do it.
15:01I meet with parents all the time that make claims about their children that turn out to be dead wrong.
15:08Kids lie all the time.
15:10You really think yours haven't?
15:12Not ever?
15:13How sure are you that Rocco is telling the truth?
15:22Yeah, I did bring Rocco into this, but I didn't drag him.
15:26Okay, Rocco has his own ideals and a backbone to stand up for them.
15:30Right.
15:30Not only is he capable of making his own decisions, he can manipulate with the best of them.
15:43What are you talking about?
15:44The interest he's shown in me since he found out I was working with Dalton.
15:48It was all an act.
15:50Rocco's been playing me this whole time.
15:56What kind of drastic action are you thinking about?
16:00Right now, it's Dalton's word against Rocco's.
16:05Rocco says that he didn't damage anything, but the ADA says that there's photographic proof that he did.
16:14I couldn't disprove Dalton's allegations and prove his evidence is fake if a witness comes forward.
16:23Do you have one?
16:25I have two.
16:28Danny and Charlotte.
16:30Okay, civic duty done.
16:37Nathan, thank you for everything you've done for Rocco.
16:41It's my pleasure.
16:42Rocco's not technically my family, but I guess he's kind of family adjacent.
16:45He seems like a really good kid.
16:47He is a really good kid.
16:50Are you ready for lunch?
16:51I am.
16:52Let's go.
16:52I don't want Mayor Collins.
16:54It's going to be tough for you to protect your grandson now you've lost the election.
16:59You know what?
16:59I think we should wait and see what the voters have to say about that.
17:02And for the record, you're kidding yourself if you think I need to be the mayor to protect my grandson.
17:09So you recruited three kids to commit an act of criminal trespass?
17:19We never intended for them to step foot in the lab.
17:21They were just supposed to create a diversion.
17:23What kind of diversion?
17:24We wanted to distract the campus security while we broke into the lab.
17:29But that didn't happen, right?
17:30Because you weren't actually in that lab.
17:36Your brother was.
17:41How about I escort you to your cars?
17:44That's probably a good idea.
17:48It's going to be a lot harder for your grandson to skate once you lose the election and you're not the mayor anymore.
17:54But you know there's an upside.
17:55You know what it is?
17:56Oh, please.
17:57He and his grandfather can now swap prison stores together.
18:01Oh, no.
18:01No, no.
18:02You are enjoying what you have done to my grandson.
18:06What have I done?
18:07What have I done?
18:08No, no.
18:09I haven't done anything here.
18:10I'm the victim.
18:11No.
18:12No, I'm the victim.
18:13Your grandson broke into my lab and destroyed it.
18:15I'm the victim.
18:16No, you're not.
18:17You are a liar.
18:21You want to know why I know Rocco didn't trash Dalton's lab?
18:27Because I know who he is.
18:31He's honest.
18:33He's kind.
18:35And look, that's just not me saying it.
18:37Anybody who knows him would tell you the same thing.
18:41I was happy with the deal I struck with Mr. Lansing, but Dalton was adamant his lab was trash.
18:50He presented photographic proof.
18:52But the police didn't go into the lab to investigate themselves.
18:59Don't you think Dalton could have trashed his lab?
19:04We would know exactly what to break that wouldn't affect his research.
19:08Why would he do that?
19:11Because he's hiding something.
19:15He's framing my grandson.
19:19All these arguments can be presented to trial.
19:21Look, I'm not happy I had to do this.
19:26But I don't have the luxury of choosing whether or not to prosecute someone based on my feelings.
19:31My job is to see that people pay when they break the law.
19:36You've got Rocco all wrong.
19:41How about you enlighten me then?
19:47I asked Rocco to steal the key fob from you.
19:50And then I realized he's the worst person to ask because not only is he honest to a fault,
19:55but for reasons I cannot understand, he likes you.
19:59For real.
20:00What makes you say that?
20:03Rocco's not a user or a liar.
20:06He said that he wants to get to know you.
20:09And despite all the evidence to the contrary,
20:12he wants to believe that you're a good person.
20:15I'm sure you've been more than happy to provide your unbiased take on me whenever possible.
20:21Actually, the first time Rocco ever asked me about you,
20:24I told him that he should get to know you for himself.
20:27Yeah, but maybe you'd change from the Brit who threw my doll on the barbecue when I was a kid.
20:34Jury's still out on that.
20:38You know, Rick, a lot has happened since you and I declared a truce.
20:43So, please forgive me if I don't just accept your olive branch.
20:47Alexis, I am the injured party here.
20:50If I'm willing to let bygones be bygones, I suggest you get on board.
20:53Okie dokie.
20:55Why are you here?
20:57I've heard from multiple sources that Charlotte and Danny were with Rocco when he broke into that lab.
21:06I need them to come forward.
21:10Emma and I had already changed the plan.
21:13We didn't need Danny and Rocco and Charlotte to create a diversion
21:15because the mayoral debate was already happening on campus that night.
21:18Everyone's attention was going to be on that.
21:20So, you were going to go ahead with the breaking without involving the kids.
21:25Yes, yes.
21:26But then Ned had a heart attack and I was here at GH and I couldn't go to the lab.
21:30So, we called off the entire thing.
21:33But Rocco went anyway.
21:34So, you were here at the hospital and your little brother, he went to your place.
21:41So, you think if your parents realize that Drew's blackmail is gone, that they'll be able to take a step back and figure things out?
21:51Yes.
21:53It's been hanging over their head for months and it's put a wedge between them.
21:58I thought that if we burned the evidence that they would have some room to breathe.
22:02But they don't even know that we did it.
22:04They're still waiting for Drew's other shoe to drop.
22:06Maybe.
22:06Or maybe the stress your parents are under has nothing to do with Drew's blackmail.
22:14You told Stella that we're getting a divorce.
22:17It was inevitable that she'd find out.
22:19And as you might imagine, she didn't take it too well.
22:22Well, it's hard to blame her.
22:24How can we even reconcile this timing?
22:26We decide to get a divorce and we're finding out I'm pregnant.
22:30She thinks that we should stay together and raise our child in a home with two loving parents, if that's possible.
22:36Curtis, are you about to suggest we stay together for the baby's sake?
22:43I think you should know I saw you and Jordan kissing the other day.
22:51My grandson did not vandalize your lab and I will not allow you to unfairly target him.
22:57Okay, so you plan on using your position as the mayor to what?
23:01To help him, what, not face the consequences of his actions?
23:04He's already facing them.
23:05Oh, I think your constituents here will really appreciate your particular brand of nepotism and corruption.
23:10I mean, it might get some votes.
23:12Guys, you think you might vote for her now, right?
23:14I don't give a damn about the election.
23:16Laura.
23:17You are railroading an innocent teenager and you will be held accountable for that.
23:21Wait, are you threatening me?
23:23Are you threatening me?
23:24Because it seems like it's a pretty blatant misuse of your power, right?
23:28No, it is not.
23:30Any use of my power against you will be warranted.
23:33I didn't want or mean for him to...
23:37It's like you haven't learned anything.
23:40Don't tell me.
23:41No, Rocco almost died six months ago.
23:43I know, and I feel terrible.
23:45Do you?
23:45Because I thought when you found out he was your brother, maybe that would make you care about what happens to him.
23:50But all it seems like to me is that you only care about yourself.
23:54We didn't know that Dalton would show.
23:56Your brother, he's been arrested on charges that should have been brought against you.
24:01He's sitting in a jail cell, handcuffed, and that should be you.
24:04Dante, come on, okay?
24:06Gio is sorry.
24:07I swear, Dante, I didn't ask Rocco to break into the lab.
24:10You should know that that kid doesn't need to be asked.
24:14He'd do anything you wanted him to do.
24:16Then maybe you don't give a damn about being a part of his family, but all Rocco cares about is being a part of yours.
24:32Okay, so you think that if Charlotte and Danny corroborate Rocco's account of what happened, that that will help clear Rocco?
24:40Or they get charged with felonies right alongside him.
24:43I know that they would help Rocco, but I can't let them come forward until I know that they'll be protected.
24:52How can you know that?
24:54I'm not sure.
24:55I walked into that courtroom today believing that my son had a deal in place, and now he's sitting in a juvenile detention center.
25:03Well, I'm sorry the jury's still out for you, but that's not my biggest concern right now.
25:08Rocco's facing felony charges.
25:10That's because of you.
25:11Oh, okay.
25:13You know what?
25:14Actually, I'm done trying to make you feel better, so I'm going to go.
25:17Oh, you do that.
25:18Emma, next time you want to come after me, have the guts to do it yourself and not use a child, okay?
25:32I was wrong to involve Rocco.
25:34And yeah, for what it's worth, I am sorry.
25:42Something you may learn from someone who's been sorry and made a lot of mistakes, not everything gets cleaned up with an apology.
25:53Some mistakes you just have to live with.
25:56Drew knows that he doesn't have leverage over your parents anymore, so he probably hasn't asked them for anything lately.
26:08And they're smart people.
26:09They've definitely noticed.
26:10Okay.
26:14So say, say that's true.
26:17And Drew has taken the pressure off.
26:19Then what's keeping my parents from finding their way back together besides Jordan?
26:24Okay, I know you're thinking something, so just say it.
26:31You and I didn't see who else was at Drew's that night.
26:36But we do know both your parents had justifiable reasons of wanting Drew dead.
26:41And your dad has an alibi.
26:44Jordan.
26:45But your mom.
26:49My mom doesn't.
26:53I'm going to save you the trouble of making an opening argument.
26:58Because if Danny comes forward, it might help Rocco, but it won't help Danny.
27:02In fact, it might hurt him.
27:03And since I'm representing him, I'm going to have to say no.
27:07Okay, I understand that you're worried about Danny being implicated, but I can assure you, I can make sure that I can get Danny and Charlotte out from under them.
27:16I am not going to put my grandson's fate in your hands.
27:21Why?
27:21Because I know you, and you're vengeful.
27:23It's not like you just woke up out of your digital detox in my basement and decided to turn the other cheek.
27:31I mean, what better way to hurt me than through my grandson?
27:33Alexis, I promise you this is a great legal strategy, and if you would just hear me out, you would realize that.
27:42Okay.
27:44I'll pass.
27:46What if I offered you something else?
27:53I wanted Jordan to speak to her, and I saw you two kissing in the hallway.
28:01I'm sorry.
28:03It's okay.
28:03We've made our decision.
28:07You're going your way.
28:08I'm going mine.
28:11And I always knew that your way would lead you to Jordan.
28:17Look, you and I gave it a shot, okay?
28:21We may not work as husband and wife, but we work as parents.
28:27We've been a great team for Trina, and I know that we can do the same for our baby.
28:32Whatever ends up happening, I think you're a great father.
28:41Thanks for the warning about Stella.
28:44We're going to need to be a strong, united front to get past her matchmaking.
28:49Yeah, no joke.
28:51Yeah, no joke.
28:51She is a force.
28:57I'm going to get going.
28:58Okay.
28:59It's from today's checkup.
29:12May I see you?
29:23It's too early to tell if it's a boy or a girl.
29:26Whoever they are, they're just perfect.
29:35May I keep this?
29:38Of course.
29:42Do you think my mother shot Drew?
30:06I don't know.
30:07I admit it's hard to imagine, but if she did.
30:12I kind of stress, and a secret like that, that can destroy a marriage, especially if my father knows.
30:19And your parents are already sort of fraying from all the other stuff they're dealing with.
30:24I can't believe that I'm having a conversation about the possibility that my mom, I mean my mom, life is sacred to her.
30:41She spends every day saving lives.
30:43Listen, this was just a hypothetical.
30:45I know, but if you would have told me a year ago that I'd be even thinking about my mom this way, even hypothetically, I'd never have thought.
30:56It's a lie.
30:57I thought I knew what my mom was capable of, what both of my parents were capable of.
31:03But it's pretty obvious that I don't really know them, maybe at all.
31:08No, no, Trina, you do know your parents.
31:12And what we're talking about here, this stuff, it's just another theory that we're playing out.
31:17But we don't know anything for sure.
31:21Except for one thing, your parents love you, and their instinct is to protect you so.
31:27If you told them about you being at Drew's that night.
31:31Maybe they'll be forced to tell me the truth.
31:34And is that a truth that you really want to know?
31:38I had a feeling that my assurances that Danny would be protected would not be enough for you, so I came prepared to sweeten the deal.
31:47Oh, God help me.
31:49How so?
31:51You're representing Willow, and you need to get her cleared of allegedly shooting Drew?
31:56That is the task at hand.
31:58What if I can ensure that you win the case?
32:01You gonna confess?
32:03Ha ha, no.
32:04No, but I can give you another viable suspect other than Willow or Michael.
32:10Hmm.
32:11Okay.
32:12Who would that be?
32:15Portia Robinson.
32:19Did you just pull that name out of thin air?
32:21Not exactly.
32:22Fine.
32:23What possible reason would Portia have for shooting Drew?
32:30Oh, I could give you several.
32:34I'm sure you want people to be accountable for their action.
32:37Yes.
32:38So do I.
32:40But you and I both know.
32:41The law isn't black and white.
32:46There are some shades of gray, but generally speaking, the law is.
32:50But it isn't always applied the way it should be.
32:55But sometimes the system just fails.
32:58Yes.
33:05Innocent people pay for crimes they didn't commit, and there are times when guilty parties manage to avoid the consequences
33:13and go on to live their lives without a care in the world.
33:19Does Rockle strike you as a ladder?
33:23No.
33:24It doesn't.
33:26What's your answer?
33:27I give you my word.
33:31Dalton's evidence will be thoroughly investigated.
33:34Maybe it'll hold up.
33:35Maybe it won't.
33:37But Rocko is a very sympathetic defendant, and Henry Dalton is...
33:42He's a liar.
33:45He's not.
33:45He's a liar.
33:46He's not as sympathetic.
33:49Sir, you're telling me that it's going to come down to Dalton's word against Rocko's?
33:58It's too early to say.
34:00But if it does, a jury may be more inclined to believe Rocko than Dalton.
34:06Yes.
34:07Give me a favor, will you?
34:10Can you at least go easy on him?
34:16I'm going to do my job.
34:18Nothing more.
34:19But this part is pretty black and white.
34:25Professor Dalton is the victim of record.
34:28As long as he's pushing this case, I'll pursue justice on his behalf.
34:33Is that all?
34:38What do you mean?
34:40Well, I mean, you're looking not for justice, or are you trying to...
34:47How can I say this?
34:49Help yourself professionally.
34:51I mean, I don't mean any disrespect, but...
34:56My grandson's future is on the line here.
35:03The former.
35:06Well, you just make sure that the justice system doesn't fail my grandson.
35:16Do I risk my daughter to save my son?
35:19I mean, there is no guarantee that having Charlotte and Danny come forward, that Rocko would go free.
35:29What if I put this thing in motion, and instead of saving one, I condemn all three?
35:34There's no easy answer.
35:36I know.
35:41Carly, when everything happened with Michael, Dante and I were sure we were doing the right thing.
35:49We thought we knew what would happen in that courtroom, that Michael would be okay.
35:58We were so wrong.
36:07I can't afford to be wrong again.
36:12Rocko has too much to lose.
36:14Mistakes were made, yes.
36:19Gio is trying to excuse...
36:21What, make excuses?
36:23For doing something stupid and selfish again?
36:27Yeah, I see thought.
36:28I thought you learned from when Rocko got alcohol poisoning.
36:31And what do you do?
36:31You just go get involved in something that's completely reckless and dangerous.
36:36What's going on?
36:40You were right, though.
36:42You were right.
36:42This is on you.
36:43Your brother has been arrested, and whatever happens to him is on you.
36:49Dante, this isn't Gio's fault.
36:51I'm the one who talked him into helping me break into the lab, and I broke the kids into it.
36:56It was on me.
36:57Oh, okay.
36:59I get it.
37:00I get it now.
37:03You screwed over your little brother.
37:05Potentially ruined his life to impress a girl.
37:08No, that's not...
37:09No, you know what?
37:09Just get out of my face.
37:11Get out of my face.
37:12Walk away from me, please.
37:14Please just walk away from me before I say or do something I'm going to regret.
37:18Every word in your statement was a lie.
37:37My grandson may have gone into your lab, but any vandalism that occurred was done by you.
37:43It was done by you.
37:45I would pay really good money to see you prove that.
37:48Oh, okay.
37:49So you really think you're going to get away with this, don't you?
37:52Now, why is that?
37:53Is that because he is a kid, and because you're a professor with the power of a big university behind you?
38:01Listen to me.
38:03I will fight you with every resource I have, as will every single member of my family, as will the Quartermain family,
38:10because they, too, know my grandson for the very fine young man that he is.
38:15Look at me!
38:18You are trying to frame my grandson for a crime that he did not commit,
38:23and I promise you, that will not end well for you.
38:26On the next General Hospital, I'll do anything, but not that.
38:37So you're saying Rocco did this to himself?
38:39We're here to turn ourselves in.
38:40Can I accept who you are?
38:42If he goes away, so do our problems.
38:45Let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
38:48Let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
