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?
03:09Huh?
03:10I don't know.
03:16Yeah.
03:20Smith, man.
03:20Good, man.
03:22$10 a felicit.
03:25Welcome to versus the other.
03:26What happened?
03:27This is the first one.
03:27I mean, I kind of bet I do his econo.
03:28Oh, no phone.
03:28Great, good, good, UN.
03:29I know you said gracias.
03:30I was younger than me in probably a thousand years ago.
03:31Let's do it as a few things or so.
03:32One part of this.
03:34I like to do it as the rest of all, but this no matter who did not.
03:34It's done.
03:35Oh, this is the last one.
03:36Nobody did no yet that I told you about it.
03:36The 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.
04:04Exactly.
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.
04:25I know how badly you want to tell people about the baby,
04:28but I just need you to remember
04:30that this is what they consider an older pregnancy.
04:34Right.
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
04:45before we say anything to anyone.
04:48Absolutely.
04:48I think you should know.
04:51Someone already figured out that you're pregnant.
04:54My 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,
05:04and you ambushed him with some so-called evidence.
05:08Worse than that, you ambushed a child.
05:11I thought you were better than that.
05:16Additional evidence was provided by Professor Dalton
05:19after I conferenced with Mr. Lansing.
05:22I couldn't ignore it.
05:23I don't care about the timeline.
05:25I 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
05:38and unethical.
05:39Who's to say you won't pull the same kind of stunt
05:41in front of a judge at a bail hearing?
05:45Rocco was charged with criminal trespass,
05:47vandalism, destruction of digital records and data,
05:50and reckless endangerment?
05:53Lulu, those are felons.
05:54Except Rocco isn't a felon,
05:56and he swears up and down
05:57that 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
06:08destroy my son's life.
06:09You need to do whatever you can to save Rocco.
06:13Prison 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.
06:28Sure.
06:29Yeah.
06:36The next time that you grab me like that,
06:38I'll break your wrist.
06:39The next time anyone grabs you,
06:41it'll be the cops.
06:43You runty little thief.
06:45I know it was you who got Rocco
06:47to steal the key fob to Dalton's lab
06:49out of my bag
06:50and now he's headed to prison.
06:54How do things escalate to criminal charges?
06:58Mayor Collins,
06:59your 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
07:12that I set Rocco up at the juvenile detention center myself
07:15and 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
07:38when they pulled him out of the court
07:39and that really upset me.
07:41Yeah, I understand.
07:43I'm young.
07:43He's quite knuckling in a little bit in the beginning,
07:46but I think he's calmed down.
07:47I don't blame him.
07:49And it's all because of this guy,
07:51this Dalton, Henry Dalton.
07:56And all I could do was stand there
07:57and 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.
08:07I mean, he's just yelling to me and Lulu
08:10as he's being taken out
08:13like that he didn't do anything wrong.
08:14He was terrified.
08:15We were terrified.
08:17What are you describing as terrifying
08:18for 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.
08:35I'm the reason Rocco broke into the lab.
08:40You were in Dalton's office
08:47when 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?
08:55I thought Dalton was testing on animals
08:57and 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.
09:09Look, I'm still looking at Michael,
09:12but I can't rest the hopes of Willow's case solely on him.
09:16It only helps to shift the focus off of Willow
09:20and on to other people in addition to Michael.
09:24Yeah, because the police rush to judgment.
09:26They focus solely on Willow and no other suspects.
09:30Like Portia, who the police didn't even interview.
09:34I am not trying to prove that Portia shot Drew.
09:38I'm just trying to present as many viable suspects as possible
09:41so that the jury has reasonable doubt
09:44and hopefully won't convict Willow.
09:46I don't love that someone is speculating
09:49about me being pregnant.
09:52Who knows?
09:53Trina?
09:54No.
09:57But Aunt Stella,
09:58she works with you almost every day.
10:00She figured it out.
10:01You're glowing, Portia.
10:03You're not drinking caffeine
10:04and frankly, not much gets past you medical professionals.
10:08I guess not.
10:11Well, I guess she had an opinion.
10:13She was less shocked about you being pregnant
10:16and more concerned about us getting a divorce.
10:23What got you so upset that you changed your mind
10:25about telling your parents?
10:27Not 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.
10:44But what's that got to do with telling your parents
10:46about us being at Drew's then?
10:47The strain between my parents' marriage
10:50is because of Drew.
10:52If I tell them that the blackmail material is gone
10:55and he has no power over them,
10:57the strain disappears.
10:58They stay together
10:59and Jordan's back on the cold where she belongs.
11:03You know, you sandbagged me.
11:04And for what?
11:04To get up in front of the court
11:06and make some big public show
11:07that you're going after the grandson
11:08of Sonny Corentos and Mayor Collins.
11:10You think I want to make headlines
11:11by beating up the...
11:12I think you want to do whatever it takes
11:14to be able to secure your position
11:15at the DA's office.
11:16It doesn't matter who gets caught in the crossfire.
11:18You know what, Sonny?
11:20I'll talk to you later.
11:21Don't worry.
11:21This isn't over.
11:23Not by a long shot.
11:29You heard what Rocco said.
11:30He didn't trash that lab.
11:35It was that guy, Dalton,
11:38who was setting up my grandson.
11:41And you know what?
11:44You're falling for it.
11:45I was there when the police
11:50were questioning Rocco and Dalton
11:52and at no point
11:53did the professor mention anything
11:56about his lab having been vandalized.
11:59Well, it seems like something
12:00that would have come up.
12:01Exactly, yes.
12:02And it didn't come up
12:03because it didn't happen.
12:04I know Rocco was someplace
12:07that he shouldn't have been
12:08but he told us he didn't do this thing
12:10and I know my grandson
12:12would not lie to me about that.
12:14I'm sure Nathan and Dante
12:16and the rest of the PCPD
12:18won't stop until Rocco's name is cleared.
12:22Right.
12:23Yeah, and I just hope
12:24that's going to be enough
12:25to get him out of this situation.
12:28Um, yeah.
12:30You know,
12:30the last thing on my mind right now
12:32is this election
12:33but as I have told
12:35the other citizens of Port Charles
12:37to come and vote
12:37I must do the same.
12:38So if you'll excuse me
12:39I will cast my ballot.
12:44Gio, we all feel responsible
12:49for what happened to Rocco, okay?
12:51It's hard not to.
12:52No, no, that's not it.
12:54This really is on me.
12:56I played a role in what happened
12:58and you deserve to know that.
13:01Gio, I don't think right now
13:02is the time to talk.
13:03I would like to hear this.
13:09I joined a group
13:10on campus that Emma created
13:12called Students Against Animal Cruelty.
13:15We were convinced
13:16that Professor Dalton
13:17was testing on animals.
13:19We wanted to get into his lab
13:21to find evidence
13:22but we needed
13:23to create a diversion to do it.
13:26And?
13:27We recruited Danny, Rocco
13:31and Charlotte to help us.
13:38I'll keep looking into Portia.
13:40She's lying about her whereabouts
13:42which begs the question
13:44why
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
13:57about Rocco Falcon, Henry.
14:01Can we reconvene
14:02some other time?
14:03Of course.
14:05I'll be in touch.
14:06Okay.
14:13I heard you were
14:14representing Rocco
14:16but I just assumed
14:17that it was
14:18a rumor
14:19because Sonny hates you
14:21and he'd never let you
14:22anywhere near his grandson.
14:23Sonny and I
14:24are making peace
14:25for our daughter's sakes.
14:28Maybe you and I
14:28should do the same.
14:32You didn't strike me
14:33as a bully
14:34that you would go
14:35after a child.
14:37I mean,
14:38I thought it would be beneath you.
14:40I am doing my job.
14:42No, you're not.
14:43If you were,
14:43you would be investigating
14:45Dalton's claims
14:46and the evidence
14:47that you say he has.
14:49Is there any chance
14:50that you just
14:50don't want to believe
14:51that your grandson
14:52could be guilty?
14:55If Rocco says
14:56he didn't do it,
14:59he didn't do it.
15:01I meet with parents
15:02all the time
15:04that make claims
15:04about their children
15:05that turn out
15:06to be dead wrong.
15:08Kids lie all the time.
15:09You really think
15:11yours haven't?
15:12Not ever?
15:15How sure are you
15:16that Rocco
15:18is telling the truth?
15:22Yeah, I did bring
15:23Rocco into this.
15:24But I didn't drag him.
15:26Okay, Rocco has his own ideals
15:27and a backbone
15:28to stand up for them.
15:30Right.
15:36Not only is he capable
15:37of making his own decisions,
15:39he can manipulate
15:41with the best of them.
15:43What are you talking about?
15:44The interest he's shown in me
15:46since he found out
15:47I was working with Dalton.
15:48It was all an act.
15:50Rocco's been playing me
15:51this whole time.
15:52What kind of drastic action
15:57are you thinking about?
16:00Right now,
16:01it's Dalton's word
16:03against Rocco's.
16:05Rocco says that
16:06he didn't damage anything,
16:07but the ADA says
16:09that there's photographic proof
16:11that he did.
16:14I couldn't disprove
16:16Dalton's allegations
16:18and prove his evidence
16:20is fake
16:20if a witness comes forward.
16:22Do you have one?
16:25I have two.
16:28Danny and Charlotte.
16:34Okay,
16:35civic duty done.
16:37Nathan,
16:38thank you
16:39for everything
16:39you've done for Rocco.
16:41It's my pleasure.
16:42Rocco's not technically
16:43my family,
16:44but I guess
16:44it's kind of family adjacent.
16:45He seems like
16:46a really good kid.
16:47He is
16:48a really good kid.
16:50Are you ready for lunch?
16:51I am.
16:52Let's go.
16:52You don't want Mayor Collins.
16:54It's going to be tough
16:55for you to protect
16:56your grandson
16:56now you've lost
16:57the election.
16:59You know what?
16:59I think we should wait
17:00and see what the voters
17:01have to say about that.
17:03And for the record,
17:04you're kidding yourself
17:05if you think
17:06I need to be the mayor
17:08to protect my grandson.
17:09So you recruited
17:14three kids
17:16to commit an act
17:17of criminal trespass?
17:19We never intended
17:20for them to step foot
17:21in the lab.
17:21They were just supposed
17:22to create a diversion.
17:23What kind of diversion?
17:24We wanted to
17:25distract the campus security
17:27while we broke
17:28into the lab.
17:29But that didn't happen,
17:30right?
17:32Because you weren't
17:33actually in
17:34that lab.
17:36Your brother was.
17:37How about I escort
17:42you to your cars?
17:44That's probably
17:45a good idea.
17:48It's going to be
17:48a lot harder
17:49for your grandson
17:50to skate
17:50once you lose
17:51the election
17:52and you're not
17:52the mayor anymore.
17:54But you know
17:54there's an upside.
17:55You know what it is?
17:56Oh, please.
17:57He and his grandfather
17:58can now swap
17:59prison stores together.
18:01Oh, no.
18:02No, no.
18:02You are enjoying
18:04what you have done
18:06to my grandson.
18:06What have I done?
18:07What have I done?
18:08No, no.
18:09I haven't done
18:10anything here.
18:10I'm the victim.
18:11No.
18:12No, I'm the victim.
18:13Your grandson
18:13broke into my lab
18:15and destroyed it.
18:15I'm the victim.
18:16No, you're not.
18:17You are a liar.
18:21You want to know
18:21why I know
18:22Rocco didn't
18:24trash
18:24Dalton's lab?
18:28Because I know
18:29who he is.
18:31He's honest.
18:33He's kind.
18:34And look,
18:35that's just not
18:37me saying it.
18:37Anybody who knows
18:38him
18:39would tell you
18:41the same thing.
18:44I was happy
18:45with the deal
18:45I struck with
18:46Mr. Lansing.
18:47But Dalton
18:48was adamant
18:49his lab was trash.
18:50He presented
18:50photographic proof.
18:53But the police
18:54didn't go into
18:55the lab
18:56to investigate
18:57themselves.
18:59Don't you think
19:00Dalton could have
19:01trashed
19:02his lab?
19:03who would know
19:05exactly what to
19:06break that
19:07wouldn't affect
19:07his research.
19:09Why would
19:10he do that?
19:11Because he's
19:12hiding something.
19:15He's framing
19:16my grandson.
19:19All these
19:19arguments can be
19:20presented to trial.
19:23Look, I'm not
19:24happy I had to do
19:25this.
19:26But I don't have
19:26the luxury of
19:27choosing whether
19:28or not to prosecute
19:29someone based on
19:30my feelings.
19:31My job
19:32is to see that
19:34people pay
19:34when they break
19:35the law.
19:38You've got Rocco
19:39all wrong.
19:41How about
19:42you've enlightened
19:42me then?
19:47I asked Rocco
19:48to steal the
19:48key fob from you.
19:50And then I realized
19:51he's the worst
19:52person to ask
19:52because not only
19:53is he honest
19:54to a fault
19:54but for reasons
19:55I cannot understand
19:57he likes you.
20:00For real.
20:02What makes you
20:02say that?
20:03Rocco's not a
20:04user or a liar.
20:06He said that he
20:07wants to get to
20:08know you.
20:09And despite all
20:10the evidence
20:10to the contrary
20:11he wants to
20:13believe that
20:13you're a good
20:13person.
20:15I'm sure you've
20:16been more than
20:17happy to provide
20:18your unbiased
20:18take on me
20:19whenever possible.
20:21Actually the
20:22first time Rocco
20:22ever asked me
20:23about you
20:24I told him that
20:25he should get to
20:26know you for
20:26himself.
20:28Yeah that maybe
20:29you changed from
20:30the Brit who
20:30threw my doll
20:31on the barbecue
20:31when I was a
20:32kid.
20:34The jury's still
20:35out on that.
20:38You know Rick
20:39a lot has
20:40happened since
20:41you and I
20:41declared a
20:42truce.
20:43So please
20:44forgive me if
20:45I don't just
20:46accept your
20:47olive branch.
20:48Alexis I am
20:48the injured party
20:49here and if
20:50I'm willing to
20:50let bygones be
20:51bygones I
20:52suggest you get
20:53on board.
20:53Okie dokie.
20:55Why are you
20:56here?
20:57I've heard from
20:58multiple sources
20:59that Charlotte
21:00and Danny
21:00were with
21:01Rocco when he
21:02broke into
21:03that lab.
21:06I need them
21:07to come
21:07forward.
21:10Emma and I
21:11had already
21:11changed the
21:12plan.
21:13We didn't
21:13need Danny
21:14and Rocco
21:14and Charlotte
21:15to create a
21:15diversion because
21:16the mayoral
21:16debate was
21:17already happening
21:17on campus
21:18that night.
21:18Everyone's
21:18attention was
21:20going to be
21:20on that.
21:22So you were
21:22going to go
21:23ahead with the
21:23breaking without
21:24involving the
21:25kids.
21:25Yes.
21:26Yes.
21:26But then Ned
21:26had a heart
21:27attack and I
21:28was here at
21:28GH and I
21:29couldn't go to
21:29the lab so we
21:30called off the
21:31entire thing.
21:33But Rocco
21:33went anyway.
21:36So you were
21:37here at the
21:37hospital and
21:38your little
21:39brother, he
21:40went to your
21:40place.
21:45So you think
21:46if your parents
21:47realize that
21:48Drew's blackmail
21:48is gone that
21:49they'll be able
21:49to take a step
21:50back and figure
21:51things out?
21:51Yes.
21:53It's been
21:53hanging over their
21:54head for months
21:55and it's put a
21:56wedge between
21:56them.
21:58I thought that
21:58if we burned
21:59the evidence
22:00that they would
22:00have some room
22:01to breathe.
22:02But they don't
22:03even know that
22:03we did it.
22:04They're still
22:04waiting for Drew's
22:05other shoe to
22:06drop.
22:06Maybe.
22:07Or maybe the
22:09stress your
22:09parents are under
22:10has nothing to
22:11do with Drew's
22:11blackmail.
22:14You told Stella
22:15that we're getting
22:16a divorce.
22:17It was inevitable
22:17that she'd find
22:18out.
22:19And as you
22:19might imagine,
22:20she didn't take
22:21too well.
22:22Well, it's hard
22:23to blame her.
22:24How can we even
22:25reconcile this
22:26timing?
22:26We decide to get
22:27a divorce and
22:28we're finding out
22:29I'm pregnant.
22:30She thinks that
22:31we should stay
22:32together and raise
22:33our child in a
22:34home with two
22:34loving parents,
22:36if that's possible.
22:38Curtis, are you
22:38about to suggest
22:39we stay together
22:40for the baby's
22:40sake?
22:43I think you should
22:44know I saw you
22:44and Jordan
22:45kissing the other
22:45day.
22:51My grandson
22:52did not
22:53vandalize your
22:54lab and I will
22:55not allow you
22:56to unfairly
22:57target him.
22:57Okay, so you
22:58plan on using
22:59your position
22:59as the mayor
23:00to what?
23:01To help him
23:02not face the
23:03consequences of
23:03his actions?
23:04He's already
23:05facing it.
23:05Oh, I think
23:06your constituents
23:06here will really
23:07appreciate your
23:08particular brand
23:09of nepotism
23:10and corruption.
23:10I mean, it
23:11might get some
23:11votes, guys.
23:12You think you
23:12might vote for
23:13her now, right?
23:14I don't give
23:14a damn
23:15about the
23:15election.
23:16Laura.
23:17You are
23:18railroading
23:19an innocent
23:20teenager and
23:21you will be
23:21helpful for that.
23:21Wait, are you
23:22threatening me?
23:23Are you
23:23threatening me?
23:24Because it
23:24seems like it's
23:25a pretty blatant
23:26misuse of your
23:27power, right?
23:28No, it is not.
23:30Any use of my
23:31power against you
23:32will be warranted.
23:35I didn't want
23:36or mean to
23:37stop.
23:37It's like you
23:38haven't learned
23:39anything.
23:40Don't tell me.
23:41No, Rocco
23:41almost died six
23:42months ago.
23:43I know.
23:43And I feel
23:44terrible.
23:45Do you?
23:45Because I thought
23:46when you found
23:47out he was
23:47your brother,
23:48maybe that
23:48would make
23:49you care
23:49about what
23:49happens to him.
23:50But all it
23:51seems like to
23:51me is that
23:52you only
23:53care about
23:53yourself.
23:54We didn't
23:55know Dalton
23:55would show.
23:56Your brother,
23:57he's been
23:57arrested on
23:59charges that
24:00should have
24:00been brought
24:00against you.
24:01He's sitting
24:01in a jail cell
24:02handcuffed,
24:03and that
24:03should be
24:03you.
24:04Dante, come
24:05on, okay?
24:06Gio is
24:06sorry.
24:07I swear,
24:07Dante, I
24:08didn't ask
24:08Rocco to
24:09break into
24:09the lab.
24:10You should
24:10know that
24:11that kid
24:11doesn't need
24:12to be asked.
24:14He'd do
24:15anything you
24:15wanted him
24:16to do.
24:18And maybe
24:18you don't
24:19give a damn
24:20about being
24:21a part of
24:22his family,
24:22but all
24:23Rocco cares
24:23about is
24:24being a part
24:25of yours.
24:25Okay, so
24:33you think
24:34that if
24:35Charlotte and
24:35Dan, they
24:36corroborate
24:36Rocco's
24:37account of
24:38what happened,
24:38that that
24:38will help
24:39clear Rocco?
24:40Or they
24:41get charged
24:42with felonies
24:42right alongside
24:43him.
24:44I know
24:45that they
24:46would help
24:46Rocco,
24:47but I can't
24:48let them
24:48come forward
24:49until I know
24:50that they'll
24:50be protected.
24:52How can
24:52you know
24:53that?
24:53I'm not
24:54sure.
24:55I walked
24:56into that
24:56courtroom today
24:57believing that
24:58my son had
24:58a deal in
24:59place, and
25:00now he's
25:00sitting in
25:01a juvenile
25:01detention
25:02center.
25:03Well, I'm
25:04sorry the
25:05jury's still
25:05out for you,
25:06but that's
25:06not my
25:07biggest concern
25:07right now.
25:08Rocco's
25:08facing felony
25:09charges.
25:10That's because
25:11of you.
25:12Okay.
25:13You know
25:14what?
25:14Actually, I'm
25:14done trying
25:15to make you
25:15feel better,
25:16so I'm
25:16going to
25:16go.
25:17Oh, you
25:17do that.
25:18Emma, next
25:20time you
25:20want to come
25:21after me,
25:22have the guts
25:22to do it
25:23yourself and
25:23not use a
25:24child, okay?
25:25I was
25:33wrong to
25:33involve
25:34Rocco, and
25:36yeah, for
25:36what it's
25:37worth, I am
25:38sorry.
25:39something you
25:42may learn
25:43from someone
25:46who's been
25:46sorry and
25:48made a lot
25:48of mistakes.
25:50Not
25:51everything gets
25:51cleaned up
25:52with an
25:52apology.
25:54Some
25:54mistakes you
25:55just have to
25:56live with.
25:56Drew knows
26:03that he
26:04doesn't have
26:04leverage over
26:05your parents
26:05anymore, so
26:06he probably
26:06hasn't asked
26:07them for
26:07anything lately,
26:08and they're
26:08smart people,
26:09they've
26:09definitely
26:10noticed.
26:12Okay.
26:14So say,
26:15say that's
26:16true, and
26:17Drew has
26:17taken the
26:18pressure off,
26:19then what's
26:20keeping my
26:20parents from
26:21finding their
26:22way back
26:22together besides
26:23Jordan.
26:28I know
26:29you're thinking
26:29something, so
26:29just say it.
26:31You and I
26:31didn't see who
26:32else was at
26:33Drew's that
26:33night, but
26:37we do know
26:37both your
26:38parents had
26:38justifiable
26:39reasons of
26:40wanting Drew
26:40dead, and
26:42your dad has
26:43an alibi.
26:44Jordan.
26:45But your
26:46mom.
26:49My mom
26:50doesn't.
26:50I'm going
26:53to save you
26:54the trouble
26:54of making
26:55an opening
26:55argument,
26:57because if
26:58Danny comes
26:59forward, it
26:59might help
27:00Rocco, but
27:00it won't
27:01help Danny.
27:02In fact, it
27:02might hurt
27:03him, and
27:03since I'm
27:04representing
27:05him, I'm
27:06going to
27:06have to
27:06say no.
27:07Okay, I
27:07understand that
27:08you're worried
27:09about Danny
27:09being implicated,
27:10but I can
27:11assure you, I
27:13can make sure
27:14that I can
27:14get Danny and
27:15Charlotte out
27:15from under
27:16them.
27:16I am not
27:17going to put
27:18my grandson's
27:19fate in
27:20your hands.
27:21Why?
27:21Because I
27:22know you, and
27:22you're vengeful.
27:23It's not like
27:24you just woke
27:25up out of
27:26your digital
27:26detox in
27:27my basement
27:28and decided
27:29to turn the
27:29other cheek.
27:31I mean, what
27:31better way to
27:32hurt me than
27:33through my
27:33grandson?
27:34Alexis, I
27:36promise you
27:37this is a
27:37great legal
27:38strategy, and
27:38if you would
27:39just hear me
27:40out, you
27:40would realize
27:41that.
27:42Okay.
27:44I'll pass.
27:46What if I
27:47offered you
27:47something else?
27:49I went to
27:53Jordan to
27:54speak to
27:55her, and
27:56I saw you
27:57two kissing
27:57in the
27:58hallway.
28:01I'm sorry.
28:03It's okay.
28:05We've made
28:06our decision.
28:07You're going
28:08your way, I'm
28:09going mine, and
28:12I always knew
28:12that your way
28:13would lead you
28:13to Jordan.
28:14look, you
28:18and I gave
28:19it a shot,
28:20okay?
28:21We may not
28:21work as
28:22husband and
28:22wife, but
28:23we work as
28:25parents.
28:26We've been a
28:27great team for
28:28Trina, and I
28:30know that we
28:30can do the
28:31same for our
28:32baby.
28:34Whatever
28:34ends up
28:35happening, I
28:37think you're a
28:37great father.
28:38thanks for the
28:42warning about
28:42Stella.
28:44We're going to
28:45need to be a
28:45strong, united
28:46front to get
28:48past her
28:48matchmaking.
28:49Yeah, no
28:50joke.
28:51She is a
28:52force.
28:57I'm going to
28:58get going.
28:58Okay.
29:01Is that
29:02yours?
29:02Yes.
29:02Yes.
29:02Yes.
29:02Yes.
29:02Yes.
29:02Yes.
29:02Yes.
29:02Yes.
29:04Yes.
29:04Yes.
29:04Yes.
29:04Yes.
29:04Yes.
29:04Yes.
29:04Yes.
29:04Yes.
29:05Yes.
29:05Yes.
29:05Yes.
29:06Yes.
29:07Yes.
29:07Yes.
29:08It's from
29:10today's
29:12checkup.
29:14May I
29:15see it?
29:23It's too
29:24early to
29:25tell if it's
29:25a boy or
29:25girl.
29:28Whoever
29:29they are,
29:31they're just
29:32perfect.
29:35May I
29:35keep this?
29:36of
29:39course.
29:42do you think my mother shot drew i don't know i admit it's hard to imagine but
30:09if she did i kind of i kind of stress and a secret like that that can destroy a marriage especially
30:17if my father knows and your parents are already sort of fraying from all the other stuff they're
30:23dealing with yeah i i can't believe that i'm having a conversation about the possibility
30:34that my my mom i mean my my mom life is sacred to her she spends every day saving lives listen this
30:44was just a hypothetical i know but i if you would have told me a year ago that i'd be even
30:50thinking about my mom this way even hypothetically i never thought it's a lot i thought i know what
30:58my mom was capable of what both of my parents were capable of but it's pretty obvious that i
31:04that i don't really know them maybe at all no no trina you do know your parents and what we're
31:12talking about here this stuff it's it's just another theory that we're playing out but we
31:17don't know anything for sure except for one thing your parents love you and their instinct is to
31:25protect you so if you told them about you being at drew's that name maybe they'll be forced to tell
31:32me the truth and is that a truth that you really want to know i had a feeling that my assurance is
31:40that danny would be protected would not be enough for you so i came prepared to sweeten the deal
31:46oh god help me how so you're representing willow and you need to get her cleared of allegedly shooting
31:55drew that is the task at hand what if i can ensure that you win the case you're going to confess
32:02ha ha no but i can give you another viable suspect other than willow or michael
32:09hmm okay who would that be
32:13horcia robinson
32:16did you just pull that name out of in there not exactly fine
32:23what possible reason would portia have for shooting drew
32:29oh i could give you several
32:32i'm sure you want people to be accountable for their action yes so do i but you and i both know
32:41the law isn't black and white there are some shades of gray but generally speaking the law is
32:49but it isn't always applied the way it should be but sometimes the system just fails
32:59yes innocent people pay for crimes they didn't commit and there are times when guilty parties
33:11manage to avoid the consequences and go on to live their lives without a care in the world
33:16does rocco strike you as a letter
33:21no
33:23he doesn't
33:26that's your answer
33:27i give you my word
33:30dalton's evidence will be thoroughly investigated
33:33maybe it'll hold up maybe it won't
33:36but rocco is a very sympathetic defendant and henry dalton is
33:42he's a he's a liar he's not he's a liar he's not as sympathetic
33:49so you could tell me that uh it's going to come down to dalton's word against rocco's
33:58it's too early to say but if it does
34:02a jury may be more inclined to believe rocco than dalton yes
34:07can you at least go easy on him
34:12i'm gonna do my job
34:17nothing more
34:19but this part is pretty black and white
34:24professor dalton is the victim of record
34:27as long as he's pushing this case
34:30i'll pursue justice on his behalf
34:33is that all
34:37what do you mean
34:39well i mean
34:41you're looking not for justice
34:43or are you trying to
34:45how can i say this

35:09doesn't fail my grandson

35:17to save my son
35:20i mean there is
35:23no guarantee that having
35:25charlotte and danny come forward
35:28that rocco would go free
35:29what if i put this thing in motion
35:30and instead of saving one
35:32i condemn all three
