00:00I was glad to receive your call, but what happened to us keeping our distance couldn't stay away, huh?
00:13He's already on his fourth one, and he's getting pretty sloppy.
00:17Now's a good time for his former assistant to chat him up.
00:20See if you can get him to tell you anything about his research or his lab.
00:25Okay. Will do.
00:26Who's the coat?
00:41Professor?
00:43Hey.
00:43Hey.
00:44Hey.
00:45It's my old assistant.
00:47Hey, you know what?
00:50Since I'm not your boss anymore, come here, sit down.
00:52Oh.
00:52Sit down.
00:53Enjoy me for a drink.
00:55That sounds great.
00:56I could use a drink.
00:58I know exactly what you mean.
01:00And I could use the company, because I have had a hell of a day.
01:06Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:08Tell me about it.
01:13Good news about Ned, right?
01:15Sounds like he got out of the woods.
01:16Yeah, yeah.
01:17What a relief.
01:18I'm really glad about that.
01:19But, um, but you can't stop thinking about what Dante said to you.
01:27I suggest you rethink your position.
01:33Well, I just did, and I have decided against it.
01:35I'm not going to let Dalton's out-of-control ego put Rocco in danger.
01:39You should concentrate on your own well-being.
01:45I am not your enemy.
01:47I am your savior.
01:49Oh, wow.
01:51Well, unlike Dalton, you have a healthy ego.
01:53Am I wrong?
01:54Am I wrong?
01:55Without the medicine we give you, what kind of life would you lead?
02:00What kind of life?
02:02I'm all for turning the tables on that sleaze, Dalton.
02:04Just tell us what to do, and we're there.
02:06Whatever it takes.
02:07All you need to do is tell the truth.
02:09Just say exactly what happened in that lab.
02:12Will that be a problem for either one of you?
02:19Oh.
02:19Oh, perfect timing.
02:20I was just filling in Dante and Lulu.
02:23Are you guys okay with Sonny hearing my strategy?
02:26Of course.
02:26Yeah, I want him to hear what's going on.
02:29Okay, great, great.
02:30So, right now, the case is Rocco's word against Dalton.
02:37But, if Danny and Charlotte were to turn themselves in and admit that they were in the lab with Rocco,
02:46then they can back up Rocco's version of events and confirm that he did not vandalize them.
02:53I'm not loving the possibility of Charlotte and Danny also being charged.
02:57Look, look, I don't think that's going to happen, but, yes, there is a risk.
02:59No, no.
03:01Rick, I'm sorry.
03:02I'm not going to sacrifice Danny and Charlotte.
03:04Your plan is not going to happen.
03:06Yes, my grandson, Rocco Falconeri.
03:09Oh, you did?
03:11Well, that was very nice of you to check on him personally.
03:14I'm sure he'll only be there until his bail hearing, but should he have any problems,
03:19I would like to hear about that immediately.
03:24I hope so, too.
03:26Bye-bye.
03:28Is Rocco all right?
03:30According to the head of the detention center, he's fine.
03:34I'm going to do everything in my power to keep it that way.
03:37Can I help?
03:40There's really nothing you can do but thank you.
03:42All right, well, let me know if there's anything I can do.
03:45Believe me, I will not hesitate to call, but I'm afraid this one's on me, you know.
03:51If my altercation with Dalton is going to cost me this election, then I'm going to spend my last few hours as mayor doing whatever I can to protect my grandson.
04:01Have you been following the returns?
04:03Yeah, a bit.
04:04I'm not surprised that Ezra's taken an early lead.
04:08Yes, but the precincts where your support is the strongest haven't reported in yet.
04:12Yeah, I know that, but you saw the video of me confronting Dalton, you know, the things that I said.
04:19Yeah.
04:19I saw a pompous ass get what he deserved, and I know a lot of other people did as well, though.
04:25Oh, thank you for saying that.
04:28I'm glad you're here.
04:29You know something, I feel like I owe you an apology.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Yeah, what Dante said got to me, but he just watched his son get hauled out of that courtroom and get sent to a juvenile detention center where he'll be locked up for the next two days, and then he'll get a bail hearing.
04:54Yeah, Dante is so pissed, and with good reason.
04:58It was still a cheap shot for him to say that you were trying to impress me.
05:03We, you and me, legitimately thought that Dalton was torturing animals in that lab, and we tried to stop it.
05:10It's that simple.
05:12That didn't end up being that simple, did it?
05:15I keep wondering if Rocco feels the same way that Dante does, that I don't care enough about him to protect him.
05:22I don't have to be a mind reader to know that he doesn't.
05:26Rocco's the one that told us not to come forward, remember?
05:30And as for Dante saying that you don't care about Rocco, it just proves that he doesn't know anything about you.
05:36I appreciate you saying that.
05:38And for the record, you don't have to do anything to impress me.
05:45I mean, he broke in my laps to what I was supposed to do.
05:48You know, and the mayor, well, you should have seen the way she treated me.
05:54You know, like she talked to me.
05:55I mean, everyone saw it, and there's video.
05:58But she thinks that her grandson should just get a free pass for breaking into my lab and just disrupting all my important work.
06:05Well, I know better than anybody how important your work is, and nobody works harder than you.
06:10Right?
06:10Any idea what he was looking for?
06:15Animals.
06:18These student activists, they think the animals are going to get hurt.
06:23But, you know, what they don't understand is that, you know, it's just a part of the process, you know?
06:28It's like a tool.
06:31And you use them, and you advance science, you know?
06:34Sometimes activists can go too far.
06:37Right.
06:38Yeah, I just hope that none of your research was compromised.
06:43You know, it could have been.
06:44But I'm too smart for them, you know?
06:46Because after what happened at my old university, I don't do any testing on campus anymore.
06:57Okay.
06:58I see.
06:59So you still do everything you need to do, just somewhere else.
07:04That is so smart.
07:07Right?
07:08Right.
07:09Because, you know, we can't have any of these bleeding-hard students, you know, trying to set the animals free.
07:15Yeah.
07:15You know?
07:17Because, you know, that would just, like, you know, disrupt all my work I've been doing.
07:25You must be used to this, though.
07:28Because visionaries, they're usually very misunderstood.
07:33Yeah, yeah.
07:36Yeah, we are misunderstood.
07:39Yeah.
07:40And that is why I do all of my important work now at another lab.
07:49Here's one that PCU knows nothing about school.
07:55You need to get your priorities straight.
07:57Don't forget, we gave you a nice, soft place to land when you decided to leave poor Charles.
08:02The problem with your generosity is that you didn't ask me if I wanted it.
08:10See, it wasn't anything like, oh, hey, Brit.
08:13You want to fake your own death and go work in Croatia?
08:17No, it was one minute I'm dying in my mother's arms and the next I'm waking up at the five poppies.
08:22Well, apologies for saving your life.
08:27You took my life away from me.
08:29How?
08:30You already decided to leave poor Charles.
08:33We gave your life purpose and the medicine so that you could enjoy it, right?
08:42All we ask in return is that you finish the work that your father started.
08:49All of this hostility, it's confusing.
08:54You want to know what's confusing?
08:59Pascal strapping a bomb to my ankle and leaving me to die.
09:04That's confusing.
09:05Pascal overstepped.
09:07It's been explained to him.
09:09Oh, okay.
09:11So all is good.
09:12I almost died!
09:13But you didn't!
09:14You didn't die!
09:16Jason!
09:17Jason Morgan saved your life!
09:18Jason Morgan saved your life!
09:21Jason found me.
09:26I didn't ask him to.
09:27I wasn't a part of that, but I'm glad he did.
09:30Well, of course you are.
09:31Of course.
09:32I mean, he's plainly interested in you, huh?
09:35And as you said, you owe him your life.
09:41So, how much have you told him about what you were up to at the five poppies?
09:48Detective West, you didn't happen to record Danny and Charlotte's confession, did you?
09:57Yeah.
09:57Yeah, yeah, I did.
09:58I was actually just about to delete it.
09:59I heard.
10:00Actually, I'm more interested in what you think.
10:03Well, stories make sense.
10:06No holes, no contradictions.
10:08Charlotte's a little polished, but not rehearsed, I don't think.
10:11Daniel seems genuinely earnest.
10:13They'd be good witnesses, if the parents will allow him.
10:16Rick, you're asking Danny and Charlotte to put themselves in jeopardy for a strategy that might not even work.
10:22And it sure didn't work for Rocco.
10:24You said he would get community service, and now our son is locked up in a juvenile detention center.
10:29There's no way Rick would have known that this Dalton guy was going to fake evidence and destroy his own lab equipment just to frame Rocco.
10:38I understand your concerns.
10:40I know what I'm asking.
10:41But you've got to know, Alexis agrees with my assessment, and Danny's her grandson.
10:46Okay, Rick, I know you and Alexis are good at your jobs.
10:49I do.
10:50But if the roles are reversed here, I don't know that I would do the same thing, let Rocco step forward in some plan that might not work out for Danny and Charlotte.
10:58I can't ask Lulu and Jason to do the same thing for Rocco.
11:00Even if it's Rocco's best defense?
11:02Come on, guys.
11:02If this goes to trial, the odds are that the jury is going to believe Danny and Charlotte.
11:07Okay, but you're talking about odds in a courtroom, Rick.
11:09I'm talking about these kids' lives.
11:10I'm not going to sacrifice their lives.
11:12Dante.
11:14Rocco's my grandson.
11:15I want the best for him.
11:16Let's just hear Rick out.
11:22Will you do that for me?
11:31I think it makes perfect sense that you would have a secret lab that PCU knows nothing about.
11:37I mean, how else are you going to win a Nobel Prize with these guys looking over your shoulder all the time?
11:43Right.
11:44Because it'd be impossible, you know?
11:48And they don't even, they don't even understand basic science, let alone how I'm trying to redefine the entire field.
11:55Is it hard going back and forth between the labs, though?
11:59I mean, you're so busy.
12:01No, no, it's not that far, you know?
12:03Because, you know, and rent's cheap around here.
12:06It is, you know?
12:09And the best part is there's no neighbors, so they can't hear the dogs if they start barking.
12:17But I keep them sedated.
12:18I do.
12:19I keep them sedated because, you know, I'm not a master.
12:23I'm not a master, you know?
12:25Of course not.
12:26I never thought that you were.
12:33Rick and I think that threatening Professor Dalton with his own charges would make him back down completely.
12:39Well, I would love if that could happen, but what are the chances?
12:42Well, I think it's a good strategy, but there's no guarantee.
12:44We know what Danny's wishes are, but you're the sole parent, and sometimes a parent has to protect the kid from what he wants.
12:53Any second thoughts?
12:55I mean, you heard Danny.
12:58His mom would want him to do what's right.
13:00She would.
13:01Do you really think that Danny and Charlie can save Rocco?
13:05Detective West thinks that their account of what happened is very credible and thinks that the kids would make really good witnesses.
13:11My grandmother was dead set against me turning myself in when I first told her what happened.
13:18The fact that she changed her mind must mean that she thinks we really have a chance to save Rocco.
13:23Yeah, I mean, how could it not?
13:24We need to prove Dalton is lying and convince the jury that he trashed his lab, not Rocco.
13:29We should probably go over our story.
13:31Why?
13:31We already told Detective West.
13:33We just have to say everything again.
13:34Yeah, well, Detective West said we can't use what we told him, so it's like our talking to him never happened.
13:39Dalton's already surprised us twice.
13:41The animals were in that lab, then he set up Rocco.
13:44We need to be ready this time.
13:45Yeah, I hear you.
13:47A guy like Emma's back applies for his back applies.
13:49We need to make 100% sure that Rocco walks and Dalton pays for going after him.
13:54Why do I have a feeling that you have a way to make that happen?
13:58God, I can't believe Jocelyn's talking to that guy.
14:02Hey, don't let him get to you.
14:04She's a total hypocrite.
14:06Okay, she's the one that warns me about Dalton and now she's getting drinks with the guy.
14:11Nothing hurts to get her research assistant position back.
14:15Where'd my drink go?
14:17I'll get another drink.
14:20Bartender.
14:23Actually, what if we just got out of here?
14:26Oh, yeah.
14:29Yeah.
14:31Well, you know what?
14:32I've got this really comfy couch in my lab.
14:36You want to go try it out?
14:38Yeah.
14:39Yeah?
14:39Yeah.
14:40Oh, hey, Joc.
14:42Everything okay?
14:43Hey.
14:44Everything's fine.
14:45Hey.
14:46What business is yours, lifeguard?
14:48There's no pool around here.
14:50We just haven't seen you in a minute.
14:53We thought you might want to have a drink with us.
14:55We have some news for you.
14:58Sure.
14:59I will be very, very quick.
15:01All right.
15:02Okay?
15:02See you.
15:03All right.
15:08Thank you, but I didn't need any rescuing.
15:10What are you even doing sitting next to that guy?
15:12Especially after what he did to Rocco.
15:14What are you talking about?
15:15Rocco's locked up in a juvenile detention because Dalton lied and said he trashed his lab.
15:19Yeah, he even had photos, and Rocco never touched a thing.
15:22Hey, you want to finish up and go?
15:25The night's still young.
15:26No, she's not going anywhere with you, okay?
15:27You're a pathetic excuse of a human being.
15:30You should be locked up, not Rocco, and believe me when I say that nobody knows that better than I do.
15:38Why would you apologize to me?
15:39Because you quit your job here so that you could go undercover and take the job with Sidwell.
15:45Yeah, well, it was my idea.
15:47You just went along with it.
15:48Yes, I know, but the plan was for you to get whatever evidence you could to get Sidwell put away,
15:55and then I was going to bring you back here, and now I'm losing this office,
15:59so I'm leaving you out there, twisting in the wind.
16:01Yeah, but I feel like I'm the one who failed,
16:04because I haven't been able to find any evidence of Sidwell's illegal activities.
16:07No.
16:08That is because he is a genius at covering his tracks.
16:13Well, I won't stop trying, but you can't either.
16:17You're an amazing mayor.
16:19Nothing can change that.
16:20And that face-off with Henry Dalton proved that you're an amazing mother and grandmother who protects her family.
16:27You're a force, Laura.
16:29Any way you cut it.
16:30I'm not feeling like one at the moment.
16:32And I just know that everyone in poor Charles is going to suffer as soon as Ezra Boyle takes over as mayor.
16:43Come in.
16:46Jordan!
16:47I didn't expect to see you here.
16:49I thought you would be at Ezra's watch, brother.
16:52Yeah, well, I'm capable of disagreeing with someone's politics without holding a grudge.
16:56We'll always be able to talk to each other.
16:58And despite our differences, it's become clear to me that Laura is the far better candidate.
17:04Well, it's too bad the rest of Port Charles doesn't agree with you.
17:09Something I can do for you, Congressman?
17:12You can read the writing on the wall, Laura.
17:14I mean, it's pretty obvious the voters of Port Charles have chosen a new mayor.
17:18Ezra's already working on those final touches of his acceptance speech.
17:22I just came by to make sure you were working on your concession speech.
17:27So what do you think, Will?
17:30I lost suffice?
17:34Your visit's a little premature, Drew.
17:37This election is a long way from being over.
17:39It's really not.
17:41I mean, why delay the inevitable?
17:42Because I think every vote matters.
17:45What's happened to you?
17:47There used to be a time when you truly cared about the people of Port Charles.
17:51That's what Laura does.
17:53She's never forgotten that she was a public servant.
17:56Touching.
17:57You know, Drew, after a near-death experience, a lot of people take stock of their lives, reconnect with their purpose, vow to make their life count going forward.
18:09I hope you take a hard look at yourself.
18:11It might not be too late for you.
18:12I'm here on official business.
18:16And since you no longer hold office, Jordan, you can go.
18:22Well, it's up to you.
18:23I can wait outside if you'd like.
18:25No, no, that's not necessary.
18:26But thank you, though.
18:27I would like to have a word alone with the congressman.
18:33I know you're lying about Rocco.
18:35And maybe there weren't any animals in the lab, but you're doing something illegal and definitely immoral.
18:39Hey, you need to watch your tone.
18:41Oh, if you're not hiding anything, then why don't you let me into the lab?
18:44I mean, I am your research assistant.
18:46Well, you're not a very good one, are you?
18:48You need to stop making all these unfounded accusations.
18:51You were testing on animals at your old school.
18:54Okay, and I know you're doing something equally as bad here.
18:56That means not we're dead.
18:57No, he's not.
18:58But the animals that he's hurting and killing are.
18:59Wait, what do you know about what happened in my old university?
19:03I'm the one who broke into your lab there.
19:05And this latest break-in was my idea, too.
19:08I'm going to have you expelled and locked up like your friend Rocco Falconeri.
19:20Jason has no idea what I was working on in Croatia.
19:24He doesn't know what I'm working on here.
19:26He doesn't even know it was my key fob, Rocco Stoll, to get into Dalton's lab.
19:31Mm-hmm.
19:32Good.
19:32Keep it that way.
19:34You know, I almost killed Jason in Africa last year.
19:40If he found out that you're working with me all along, he'd be very, very disappointed in you.
19:46I don't care what Jason thinks of me.
19:48Well, that's good, because he may have saved you from the bomb in Croatia, but he can't save you for the one in your DNA.
19:58He doesn't have the medicine.
19:58Do you have the medicine, Jason, to save Brit from Huntington's?
20:02No, Jen, no, I don't have that.
20:05Only we do.
20:08Yeah, a fact that you have mentioned to me more than once.
20:12It bears repeating.
20:14It really does.
20:15And besides, Jason does not seem like the type to sit by your bed patiently as you slowly waste away.
20:26I want to do more than clear Rocco.
20:27I want to destroy Dalton, make him look even worse.
20:30Like how?
20:31I mean, he's already pretty bad.
20:33My grandmother was furious with how roughly he treated Rocco.
20:36What if we said Dalton hit Rocco?
20:39Then people would know for sure what a weasel he was.
20:41We'd be lying under oath.
20:43So?
20:44Rocco sacrificed himself for us.
20:45The least we can do is take a chance that can save him.
20:51You're right.
20:53We'd have to be really convincing.
20:56It was horrible.
20:56I wanted to help him, but I was afraid.
21:02Professor Dalton hurt my little brother.
21:04I just, I froze.
21:08Would something like that work?
21:10Your parents have no idea how much trouble you are, do they?
21:13They're on a need-to-know basis.
21:15I know it's a tough decision, but without their testimony, we can't refute Dalton's charge that Rocco destroyed his lab.
21:26So, sorry to say, I think they're the only way to set Rocco free.
21:36Okay.
21:38Jason's on board.
21:45I keep coming back to the same thing.
21:49I can't sacrifice one of my children for the other.
21:55Rick believes that Dalton might drop the charges if Danny and Charlotte come forward?
21:59Yes, because the charges against him would be a lot more serious than the ones the kids are looking at.
22:03Or all three could wind up in trouble.
22:08I'll follow your lead, whatever you want to do.
22:11Danny is determined to turn himself in.
22:14But if you want to, you could just wait and see what happens.
22:17I mean, maybe ADA, Turner won't involve Charlotte.
22:21Well, if Charlotte gets pulled in anyway, she loses the ability to come forward-willed.
22:27It's true, she will.
22:30Okay.
22:31I need to talk to my daughter.
22:33You know, Jordan was right.
22:44You used to hear about the people.
22:46It would be wonderful if you could reconnect with that part of yourself.
22:50Because, you see, I have come to terms with the likelihood that I'm going to lose this office.
22:57And if that happens, it will be up to you to protect the people of Port Charles.
23:04I appreciate your faith in me.
23:06It's not faith.
23:07I am appealing to the man you used to be.
23:13So tell me, why did you really come to my office tonight?
23:17I want you to endorse Ezra Boyle in your concession speech.
23:26You were a very popular mayor.
23:28A good word from you would make his transition so much easier.
23:31Do you really believe that Ezra Boyle is going to be good for Port Charles?
23:36We both know he's in Sidwell's pocket.
23:38I needed a politician at my beck and call.
23:42But please, don't fret.
23:44As long as you do exactly what I say, you will reap the benefits, I assure you.
23:51Doesn't mean, however, that we're allies.
23:53Yeah, that much is clear.
23:55You will not be demanding my presence as you did today.
23:58You will come when I call you.
24:01Because, from now on, you work for me.
24:06Step out of line and watch.
24:08As your life goes to hell.
24:11Sidwell is just a civic-minded businessman.
24:16Who nearly killed my son?
24:18He is ruthless.
24:20He is not to be trusted.
24:21His record is spotless.
24:22Whereby Sonny's criminal activity is well known.
24:27And you turn a blind eye to that.
24:29But once Measure C passes, Sonny's going to be forced out.
24:33And all the people at Port Charles are going to be a lot safer.
24:36I see.
24:36So, are you saying that your interest in Sonny's peers is civic-minded?
24:42Because I don't believe that.
24:43I believe that you are motivated by pure spite against Sonny and Jason and Michael.
24:50I haven't heard enough out of you.
24:55Whoa.
24:56You were about to strike this young woman, were you?
24:58Of course not.
24:59I would have hit a woman.
25:01But my former sister needs to stop making allegations about nothing she knows about.
25:05You should have a chance to set the record straight, then.
25:10Excuse us.
25:11I need to speak with Professor Dalton Malone.
25:12Oh, hey.
25:14Hey, hey, hey, hey.
25:16Hey.
25:17Hey.
25:18Why don't you come down to the station tomorrow and we'll get everything straightened out.
25:23I don't know if I'm free.
25:25So will you come in on your own or should I have someone escort you?
25:30Um.
25:32Oh, I'll be there, yeah.
25:35Good.
25:36One o'clock.
25:38At one minute after, I send an armed agent to get you.
25:42All right.
26:00I thought that dude worked at PCU.
26:03Wait, wait, wait.
26:05Has the WSB been investigating Dalton this entire time?
26:09Detective West, I just wanted to thank you again for the way you handled Danny and Charlotte coming in on their own.
26:18I appreciate the way you protected them.
26:19Yeah.
26:20I'm glad I got to them first.
26:21I know they're just trying to help Rocco and I know how much Rocco needs to Brit and my mother.
26:26Dad.
26:36Dad.
26:39Is it time to turn ourselves in?
26:40I respect your decision.
26:44But Charlotte can't do anything unless her mom agrees.
26:50Lulu, hey.
26:51Okay?
26:53No.
26:55I'm terrified.
26:57If Charlotte and Danny come forward to help Rocco,
27:00they could all walk out of here,
27:01or all three of them could end up in juvenile detention.
27:04And then I lose both of my children.
27:07I trust the people telling me
27:09that the gamble is worth it.
27:13But what if they're wrong?
27:16I believe in Rick and Alexa's strategy.
27:21I just want to point this out, though.
27:24Charlotte and Danny are Rocco's family.
27:27So, you know, Turner, all she's going to say is
27:30they're lying to protect the brother.
27:33And this is why the forensics is so important.
27:37Well, forensics is working.
27:38Okay, hopefully they find what they need
27:40to prove that Dalton destroyed the lab and not Rocco.
27:42Is that possible?
27:44Yes, it is.
27:45We've got a great team.
27:47I'm constantly amazed at what they can do.
27:48Okay, we just need to create reasonable doubt.
27:51If this goes to trial,
27:52the kids are all going to make sympathetic witnesses.
27:54Dalton is a thin-skinned hothead,
27:56and I'm pretty sure that I can get him to lose it on the stand.
27:58I have no doubt, Rick.
27:59Okay, I'm going to go check in with forensics.
28:05Oh, hold it, hold it.
28:07No, you can't do that.
28:08Why?
28:08Because forensics is critical,
28:11so you need to stay out of it,
28:12let your department handle it.
28:13You're the acting commissioner now,
28:15so you need deniability.
28:17Yeah.
28:18Yeah, you're right.
28:20Force of habit.
28:21I know it's hard.
28:22It is.
28:22I mean, we're talking about three kids' lives here,
28:24the kids that we all love.
28:28Is this going to work?
28:31All I can say is Rocco's got two really good attorneys.
28:36I appreciate the support.
28:39It won't mean anything unless you deliver.
28:45Have you guys heard anything from Rocco?
28:50He's fine.
28:51He has a lot of people looking out for him,
28:53and he's got Danny and me.
28:55I know.
28:58Sweetie, you know you don't have to do this.
29:00Danny's word might be enough.
29:02The DA might not even need your testimony.
29:04We could wait and see.
29:05I'm here because I want to do this.
29:07I have to do this for Rocco.
29:09Your brother wouldn't want you putting yourself in danger.
29:13I can do this.
29:15It's going to be okay.
29:17Trust me.
29:19You guys have had me trapped since I woke,
29:21and that hasn't changed,
29:22but I'm not going to let Dalton ruin Rocco's life.
29:26I happen to agree.
29:28So what are you going to do about it?
29:30Miss Vinyl?
29:32I need you to do something,
29:34because I've got the WSB after me now.
29:39Did you know Vinyl's WSB?
29:41No.
29:42He lied to me, too.
29:43This is crazy.
29:46And it's going to be okay.
29:47The WSB wants to talk to Dalton.
29:50That's great.
29:52No, all that means is that none of this had to happen.
29:55Okay, stealing Britt's key fob,
29:56Danny, Rocco, and Charlotte breaking into Dalton's lab.
29:59None of it was necessary.
30:01Okay, because Dalton was already on the WSB's radar,
30:03and probably for something much bigger than animal testing.
30:05I was wrong.
30:07And now Rocco's locked up, and it was all for nothing.
30:10No, Emma.
30:11It wasn't.
30:14You know, I was thrilled for you,
30:17the night you were elected.
30:18I really was.
30:20I never dreamed that you would use the power
30:22that the voters gave you
30:24to target people you don't like.
30:26That's not what you were elected to do.
30:29Are you trying to tell me
30:30that you've never used your authority
30:32as mayor for personal gain?
30:33Because the last I heard,
30:35you appointed your ex-sonin-lis police commissioner.
30:38Acting police commissioner just until Anna comes back.
30:42I offered the position to Max Scorpio,
30:44who turned it down for personal reasons,
30:46and whether you like it or not,
30:48Dante is the next most senior detective on the foot.
30:52Still, many people could argue
30:55that the son of a mob boss
30:56probably shouldn't be in charge of the police
30:58in the way that you constantly support Sonny.
31:00Is that really for the better of Port Charles,
31:03or could that possibly be
31:05a little favoritism towards a family member?
31:08You accuse me
31:09of promoting my own personal interests.
31:13Well, guess what?
31:15Everybody does it.
31:17Including you.
31:18You are no better than me.
31:25You and I are not the same kind of leader.
31:29You're right.
31:30I still have my position.
31:31You're about to lose yours,
31:32so I guess I played the game
31:33just a little bit better.
31:36I had to come back.
31:37They're about to call the race.
31:38So soon?
31:39I guess it's a blowout.
31:44I can't believe it.
31:48What?
31:50Congratulations, Madam Mayor.
31:52Four more years.
31:55Four more years.
31:59When Dalton was drunk talking,
32:01he told me he is testing on animals.
32:04But Danny and Charlotte said
32:05there weren't any animals in the lab.
32:07That's because he's doing it off campus.
32:09He told me he learned his lesson
32:11after what happened at his old school.
32:14He has another lab.
32:17Oh, my God.
32:18Your instincts were right.
32:19They were.
32:21And you cared enough
32:21to do something about it.
32:23And that I have great respect for.
32:25Now, if you'll excuse me,
32:27I need to go wash the slime
32:29off my body.
32:30Oh, before you go,
32:31thank you for finding that out
32:33and for telling me.
32:36You're welcome.
32:38Bye.
32:38Bye.
32:42There's another lab.
32:43And the WSB will find it.
32:48Did you see Dalton's face
32:49when Vaughn flashed his badge?
32:52I'm glad he's finally going to get
32:53what's coming to him.
33:04Nice situational awareness,
33:06Agent Jax.
33:07Did you forget something?
33:09I just want to say,
33:10good job with Dalton.
33:10You certainly got his attention.
33:13So, you liked my technique?
33:17I hated it.
33:20Okay.
33:22Charlotte will turn herself in with Danny.
33:24Tell her I'm proud of her.
33:28Charlotte's in.
33:31Thank you, Mom.
33:33I'm proud of both of you
33:34for helping Rocco out this way.
33:37I know this wasn't easy for you.
33:38No, it wasn't.
33:41So, uh, what now?
33:44Do we have to stay?
33:46No, no, no.
33:47You're free to go.
33:48Hey, before you do,
33:49how did you get the key fob
33:51to Dalton's lap?
33:56We...
33:56We took it from Britt's purse.
34:02Danny and Charlotte
34:03will turn themselves in tomorrow.
34:05We just got to pray
34:06that this works.
34:07Well, we're going to avoid
34:08a jury trial, hopefully.
34:10But if we can't,
34:11then it's up to who
34:11the jury believes.
34:13Dalton or three teenagers.
34:16Trying to be positive here.
34:18I don't like the odds.
34:21I mean, Turner,
34:21you know,
34:22I just wish she had
34:23a weaker case.
34:24Well, that's always true.
34:26But try to live
34:27with that discomfort, okay?
34:28Do not give in
34:30to the temptation
34:31to do anything
34:32to help our situation.
34:33No Dalton.
34:36No case.
34:38Nobody needs to make
34:39Dalton disappear.
34:41This is going to work.
34:43I have to be
34:44at the WSB office
34:45tomorrow at 1 o'clock,
34:46so you need to get
34:47them to back off.
34:48What he needs to do
34:49is cut you loose.
34:51Huh?
34:51You lied to the PCPD,
34:53you trashed your own lab
34:54to frame a teenage kid,
34:56and you've put our operation
34:57at risk
34:58to throw your little tantrum.
35:00I'm afraid
35:00you have become
35:02a liability.
35:03Ah, I'm an asset.
35:05And you need
35:05my research.
35:07You're a useless tool.
35:10I could do your work
35:11in my own, Dalton.
35:12You're sloppy,
35:13and you lie.
35:14Who needs that?
35:16I'm afraid
35:16I have to agree.
35:17I'm afraid
35:18I'm afraid
35:18of a
