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