00:00What is this?
00:06Chivalry?
00:08Let me get that for you.
00:10You won't kiss me, but you'll open the door for me.
00:27Jocelyn.
00:28Hi.
00:28Why can't you turn on the light to do it?
00:31I'm sorry.
00:32I'm sorry.
00:32I saw that Kai's car was parked outside, and I didn't want to bother you.
00:37I'm just grabbing some stuff, and then I'm going to sneak out.
00:41Sneak out what?
00:41To your mom's?
00:43Not if I can help it.
00:46Why?
00:47What happened?
00:48I had a very weird Thanksgiving dinner with Brennan and my mom, but don't worry.
00:55It's nothing to worry about.
00:56I'm just going to grab my stuff, and then I'll be on my way, and...
01:00No, no, no.
01:00No.
01:01You're my best friend.
01:02This is not how this works.
01:04Would you like some tea while you tell me what's going on, or what?
01:07No.
01:10I think I made a big mistake.
01:14There's one thing to be said about small Thanksgiving.
01:16Easy cleanup, right?
01:18Oh, I thought that my advanced drying technique had something to do with that.
01:22Oh.
01:22Well, that too.
01:24You all right?
01:26Yeah, why?
01:26Well, just, uh...
01:30I don't know.
01:30It doesn't seem like this was much of a holiday for you.
01:33Can't help but wonder if that has something to do with me.
01:41Hey there.
01:42Happy Thanksgiving.
01:43I didn't know you were working tonight.
01:45I'm not.
01:45But I knew you'd be.
01:48The family and I were just getting back from visiting Maxie in Boston.
01:53And every time I see that incredible facility that she's in, and the kind of care that she's getting,
02:00I am grateful for you all over again.
02:03Well, I would do anything for Maxie.
02:06And for you.
02:07I'm glad you were all able to spend the day together.
02:10Yeah, me too.
02:12It was a pretty nice holiday.
02:14Well, hearing that makes my holiday.
02:17And I talk to Maxie's team of doctors all the time, and from everything they tell me, she is doing great.
02:23Yeah?
02:23Yeah.
02:24Even though there's no apparent change in her condition?
02:26That is good news.
02:29Maxie's holding steady.
02:30Which means she's fighting, just like you knew she would.
02:39He's clean.
02:40Thanks for agreeing to see me so late.
02:46I hope you know that I wouldn't have asked unless it was a matter of some urgency.
02:52Yeah?
02:52How's that?
02:53Well, I just want us to clarify a few things before you make the mistake of trying to kill me.
02:59Hello, sister.
03:21Am I too late to say grace?
03:24All right.
03:51I got you.
03:51Okay, okay.
03:52No, no, I'm good.
03:54I'm good.
03:54Look, look, look.
03:55You can go now.
03:58Okay?
03:58You got your way?
04:02I'm having a good time.
04:05I was ready to toss back another round.
04:07Someone made me come back to this dump.
04:11I wasn't even last call yet.
04:13Well, you know, now that my night is ruined, we can go.
04:24Where did I put that?
04:26Oh, my God.
04:32The other night I ran into Vaughn at the Brown Dog.
04:36And?
04:37And we slept together.
04:41Oh.
04:44Okay.
04:45Well, that's not good.
04:48But it's not bad either.
04:51I mean, maybe this is like a sign for you and him to try again and start over.
04:57I mean, look at what happened to me and Connie.
04:59Yeah, I don't see that happening because Vaughn has ghosted me ever since.
05:09I am so sorry, Joss.
05:12Don't be sorry.
05:13It's my fault.
05:14I did this to myself.
05:15I knew exactly who Vaughn was, and I still went back for more.
05:20And now I'm hurting all over again.
05:23I can't help but think about Christmas Eve last year, how you had a full house.
05:29Okay, so Joss and I aren't good enough for you?
05:32No, that is not what I'm saying at all.
05:34I just...
05:35I can't help but wonder if maybe I'm the reason your family stayed away.
05:41Oh, oh, this has nothing to do with my family not liking you.
05:49No, you know, holiday dinners have lots of moving parts, okay?
05:54And sometimes those other parts have other commitments.
06:00Like tonight, Donna is with Sonny.
06:03And Michael, Wiley, and Amelia are at the quarter mains.
06:05Please don't read anything into.
06:08Unless...
06:09This is a smokescreen.
06:11This is your way of telling me that my Thanksgiving dinner did not meet your expectations?
06:14That is not at all what I was saying.
06:16They were exceeded.
06:18And I was very grateful I didn't have to fight the rest of your family for the best of the dark meat.
06:23Oh, wow.
06:24I'm not sure that's a fight even a man with your skills would win.
06:29Look, I'm really happy that you invited me.
06:35I just don't want you to ever have to decide between me and your family.
06:39That's not what's happening here.
06:41That's not a choice I had to make.
06:44Really.
06:45Really.
06:45So, Sonny wouldn't have any objections to socializing with the WSB station chief?
06:52Well, he probably wouldn't be very excited about it.
06:55But I don't have to spend every holiday with Sonny.
06:58And if you're worried about Michael, I mean, he's not one to judge.
07:02And what about your good friend, Jason Morgan?
07:08Jason does actively avoid you.
07:11But, you know, maybe that won't always be the case.
07:16And if it is, we'll just figure it out.
07:20All right.
07:20So, if you weren't missing him, who was it?
07:25Because I get the distinct feeling there was somebody else you wish was here.
07:28So, Wes, I really wish my brother would have showed up.
07:38But you're not the reason that Lucas isn't here.
07:43I am.
07:47Why would I try to kill you?
07:49That is the question, isn't it?
07:51I mean, after all, Measure C failed to pass.
07:54Laura Collins managed to win re-election.
07:58On the surface, you don't appear to have any motive to take action against me.
08:03Which would make it the perfect moment to do so.
08:07It's not a bad argument.
08:09Yeah.
08:10It's what I would do if I were you.
08:14Good to know.
08:15But there may be one factor
08:18they want you to wish to consider.
08:21No, this can't be.
08:33You're dead.
08:35That may be so, but I'm still with you, dear sister.
08:40I'm always with you.
08:41No.
08:43No.
08:43You didn't invite me to your Thanksgiving feast,
08:47but I decided to come anyway.
08:51I knew you needed me.
08:53And I brought you an early Christmas gift.
08:56No.
08:57You can open it now if you'd like.
08:58Get away from me, please.
09:00No.
09:00No.
09:02Let me open it for you then.
09:03It's the gun that killed Professor Dalton.
09:14You could take this to the PCPD,
09:18turn yourself in,
09:19and do the honest thing.
09:22No, it's too late.
09:24Oh, you always told me it was never too late
09:26to face the consequences of my actions.
09:29But I didn't shoot him.
09:30Then you have nothing to fear from the police.
09:34But I can't explain
09:37why his body was in the trunk of my car.
09:40I can't explain it.
09:41Sister, you need to take responsibility.
09:44Take responsibility.
09:48That's what you always told me.
09:57I told you to get out.
10:01I'm not leaving you alone tonight.
10:03You're too drunk.
10:04Oh, please.
10:05I have been way drunker than this,
10:07and I've always taken care of myself.
10:10Okay.
10:11You want to take care of that?
10:13It's gone off like three times that long.
10:15All right.
10:17I'll do what I need to do as soon as you leave.
10:20So leave, please.
10:21I told you I'm not leaving.
10:22I need privacy.
10:24Okay?
10:25So if you're going to be like this,
10:27just go out in the hall.
10:30You want me to stay in the hall?
10:32Yeah.
10:33Isn't that where bodyguards hang out?
10:35It's not like we're friends.
10:40I'm going to be like this.
10:41So I thought you told me you were looking to patch things up with Lucas.
11:11I am. Yeah, I am. I mean, I was going to go do it the other day at the hospital after we had had our disagreement, but I ran into Jocelyn in the parking lot, and she told me that she didn't think it was a good idea if I ambush him at work, so I decided to wait and wait for the perfect time to apologize.
11:30Okay. Well, I do understand the importance of timing, but I hope you don't wait too long. It's just going to hurt you both worse.
11:41Look, I see how much you miss him, and I'm quite sure he misses you quite a bit, too.
11:46Oh, I hope you're right. Lucas just seems to really be digging in.
11:52Well, no amount of obstinacy could keep him away from you.
11:57Oh, I think Spike could. I do.
12:00Not when it comes to Lucas. Not when it comes to you.
12:06Oh.
12:07So, what am I, his kryptonite?
12:11Not just his.
12:14I wish that I could stay and have a quiet night with you tonight.
12:21Yeah, I mean, Jocelyn's not home. I was planning on it.
12:24Alas, work beckons.
12:30I guess international espionage doesn't take a holiday.
12:35It does not.
12:54Jack thinks he's invincible, but he has two weaknesses.
13:16His ego and you.
13:19Well, there's no stopping his ego, and that leaves just you.
13:22Together, I'll bring him to his knees.
13:33The way I see it, Vaughn broke your trust by keeping such a huge secret from you.
13:38You're allowed to be upset by somebody who does that to you.
13:41You say that, but then again, he's just doing his job, you know?
13:46I let myself get my hopes up.
13:52Everything okay?
13:54Yeah.
13:56Yeah, it's my mom.
13:58Turns out Brennan is not staying over there, so I'm going to sleep there tonight.
14:03Oh, are you sure?
14:05Yeah, yeah.
14:06You've listened to me ramble for far too long, anyway.
14:10You're not even close, and Kai would love to see you, too.
14:13Yeah.
14:13You are such a great friend, and I'm so grateful for you.
14:23But you don't have to worry about me.
14:25I will be fine.
14:30See you soon.
14:32Yeah.
14:32You cost me everything.
14:37I lost my child, my mind, my life, all because of you.
14:46Oh, looking for Ace.
14:48You won't find him in his room.
14:51What did you do to him?
14:53Don't hurt him.
14:54Hurt him?
14:55I would never.
14:56I am saving him.
14:58From what?
14:59From you.
15:00You can't raise a child.
15:03How could you teach him anything?
15:05You are unfit.
15:07You are a liar.
15:09I told you we were a lot alike.
15:12You were always so offended when I said that.
15:15But deep down, you knew I was right.
15:20Don't you see?
15:21Don't you see me, man?
15:27Don't you see me, man?
15:27The only way that Emma Scorpio Drake and Gio Palmieri could have possibly learned about Dalton's secondary lab is if you gave them the address.
15:52Dalton was already blown, and there was nothing to find in that lab.
16:00I assume you found out about the lab because you got your hands on the file detailing the search we conducted there.
16:06That is how you found the address, right?
16:09That file was classified, Jax.
16:11It was also a dead end.
16:13The WSB found no evidence linking Dalton to Sidwell or Faison's mission.
16:18All they found were suffering animals.
16:20I don't understand.
16:21If the WSB wasn't going to do anything to protect them, why couldn't my friends go in and save them?
16:26Because it was against protocol.
16:30Guys, I should have you transferred.
16:33For slipping an address under a door?
16:35No.
16:37For continuing your relationship with Vaughn.
16:39I was just so thankful to spend time with Mac and Spinelli and the kids today.
16:45There's nothing more important than connections with family over the holidays.
16:52Hey.
16:53Carly.
16:54Hi.
16:55Thanks.
16:56Um, Felicia.
16:59Maxie has been in my thoughts all day.
17:02I mean, she's in my thoughts every day, but especially today.
17:04Oh, thank you.
17:06That's very kind of you.
17:09But, um, we did see her today in Boston, and our time together was pretty special.
17:15Oh, I love that.
17:16That makes my heart happy.
17:20Well, I came in here to take care of some paperwork, and so far, I've done none of it.
17:25I have to get on that.
17:28Happy Thanksgiving, you guys.
17:29Happy Thanksgiving.
17:30Happy Thanksgiving.
17:33Carly, what are you doing here?
17:36I had a leftover piece of pecan pie after dinner, and I thought you might like it.
17:40I didn't make it.
17:42Jocelyn did.
17:43I mean, she didn't inherit my cooking skills, so.
17:46Thank you, but I am pretty full at the moment.
17:49Okay, well, what about for breakfast tomorrow?
17:52Oh, come on, Lucas.
17:53Yes, I miss you.
17:55I do, and Thanksgiving isn't the same without you.
18:00And I wanted to invite you.
18:04I should have invited you.
18:05Yeah, well, would that invitation have included Marco?
18:10See?
18:10See?
18:11And that's why I wouldn't have called you.
18:12Laura, it's been a long day.
18:21You didn't have to wait up.
18:23I did.
18:24Oh, Kevin.
18:26I've had so much trouble.
18:29What happened?
18:31I know who did it.
18:32I know who put the body in the trunk of the car.
18:34It was Jen Sidwell.
18:36He was here tonight.
18:39To blackmail me.
18:40Interesting photo.
18:43It's a shame that it's blurry.
18:46Yes.
18:47Well, it's clear enough for the PCPD.
18:50Plus, you've got plenty more of those.
18:53I'm sure you do.
18:54And let's not have any discussion about deepfakes.
18:58We both know that you were at the scene of the crime.
19:00You were even spotted by local law enforcement.
19:04I was with a friend.
19:05Car trouble.
19:07Car trouble?
19:08That's a good one.
19:09Yes, well, that is one way of looking at it.
19:13But this is you and Mayor Collins over the corpse of Professor Dalton, plotting your next steps.
19:22To me, it looks more like a conspiracy to commit murder, obstruction of justice, more than car trouble.
19:32You got a body?
19:33Because I don't see any evidence that the man's dead.
19:37Don't push me, Corinthos.
19:39I have more than enough to put you and the mayor away.
19:42Otherwise, you would have already called in your beefy guard to take care of me.
19:48So, let's just move on, shall we?
19:51And I'll save you the effort of asking me what I want.
19:55By telling you, I really want those peers.
20:01And your full cooperation.
20:12Cute!
20:13I think I'll give myself an injection.
20:20Okay.
20:22Come on.
20:30Come on.
20:34Watch your step, okay?
20:35Okay.
20:37Step.
20:37Step there.
20:38Step over.
20:39There you go.
20:39Okay.
20:40What's, uh, what's the dose?
21:06Two milliliters.
21:21Hey, is everything okay?
21:23I thought I heard Jocelyn.
21:25Yeah, she, uh, she just left.
21:27Uh, we needed to catch up.
21:30We haven't in a while.
21:31So, glad you got the chance to let it go.
21:35It's fine.
21:37She had to leave to go to her mom's.
21:39She's really going through it right now.
21:41You, so are you.
21:45Yeah.
21:46That's true.
21:48But I've got you.
21:51I warned you two to stay away from each other.
21:57What did you do with Vaughn?
21:59Where is he?
22:01Vaughn is somewhere far away.
22:04Far away from you.
22:07He's under strict instructions not to try to contact you.
22:10And you're about to get the same instruction.
22:12And this time, you are going to follow it.
22:15Or you're going to find yourself transferred to a basement station in Finland.
22:18The only reason that hasn't happened yet.
22:20Because you're sleeping with my mom?
22:21I know I caused you a lot of pain.
22:24And I'm so sorry.
22:26I mean, if I could go back and unsay everything I said, I would.
22:30But I can't.
22:31Well, I'm glad you can.
22:33And I'm glad you said it.
22:34Because now I know how you truly feel.
22:36No, no, no, no.
22:36Look, I was just looking out for you.
22:38Okay?
22:38I mean, I didn't want to hurt you.
22:40Yeah, but you did hurt me, Carly.
22:43And it still hurts that you think that Marco was somehow deceiving me.
22:48Do you have any idea what it feels like to know that my own sister thinks that my boyfriend feels nothing for me?
22:55That he's using me.
22:57That I'm a fool for moving in with him.
23:00But, you know, I'm glad it's all out in the open.
23:05Because I would much rather have an honest break with you than watch you lie through your teeth and pretend to accept my relationship with Marco when you clearly don't.
23:15I don't think you're a fool.
23:19And anyone can be taking it.
23:21Sidwell has a photo of me with Dalton's body in the trunk of my car.
23:30And now he says I have to do whatever he says or he's going to expose me.
23:37Laura, I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
23:40For anyone it would be a nightmare, but for someone of your moral sensibilities, it has to feel like torture.
23:48It's getting to me.
23:49I had one of the worst nightmares I've ever had in my life.
23:54What happened?
23:57Cyrus was here.
23:59And Esme.
24:01And they were telling me that I had to take responsibility for my actions.
24:09What do you think it means?
24:10That I'm supposed to turn myself into the police?
24:13No, your subconscious is talking to you, and it has the same information that you do.
24:20It's telling you what you want to do, not what you should do.
24:24I guess there's no easy answer for what I should do.
24:33Far from it.
24:35All right.
24:37Let's say you do what you want to do.
24:39Come forward.
24:41Tell the truth as best you can.
24:42Yeah.
24:44Ace would have to be one of your biggest considerations.
24:47Oh, my God, Ace.
24:51Oh, my God, Kevin.
24:54What would happen to him?
24:57What would happen to him if I couldn't prove my innocence?
25:00I mean, even if they did believe that I wasn't the one who killed Dalton,
25:08they'd still probably charge me with obstruction of justice.
25:13They could.
25:15But they could also take into account the extenuating circumstances.
25:20What?
25:20You mean that I was set up by Sybil?
25:23Anna and the PCPD have some idea who Jen Sybil really is.
25:28Yes, they do.
25:30Yeah, especially Anna.
25:32But she's not here.
25:33She's away on special assignment for the WSB.
25:38I thought that's so risky.
25:42If it were just me, I'd just do it.
25:49I'd take the chance and I'd turn myself in.
25:52But I can't turn myself in without implicating Sonny.
25:56You don't think it's going to look suspicious?
26:01I'm selling you the peers after the fight over Measure C.
26:05What's there to explain?
26:07The vote didn't go my way, so I upped my offer substantially for your peers to the public.
26:14It'll look like a real estate transaction between two businessmen,
26:17a transaction where you will appear to profit handsomely.
26:21You think anybody's going to buy that?
26:23I don't need the money.
26:25Well, they'll believe you had a price.
26:27Everyone else does.
26:28And, worst case, a few people might suspect something, but without any context, who's to know what happened?
26:36Because you want the peers?
26:41What else?
26:42Oh, that's all for now.
26:44Oh, one more thing.
26:46Yes.
26:47Now I remember.
26:48If anything were to happen to me or my son, the photos and the gun that killed Dalton will immediately be delivered to law enforcement.
27:01Oh, and the gun, by the way, is covered in Laura's DNA.
27:10You're okay.
27:11I can't, I can't do it.
27:20You do it.
27:25Here we go.
27:34I really don't feel like I'm doing much, but I'm glad that you feel like me being here helps.
27:39You being here makes everything feel better.
27:46The situation with my parents have been messy and complicated, but talking to you about it, it keeps it from being scary.
27:57You know, together we are going to figure out a way to exoner your parents.
28:01You are not alone in this.
28:04I know.
28:05Which is why I'm not completely miserable.
28:09I almost feel bad saying this, but in spite of everything going on, I'm happy.
28:25And that's because I've got you.
28:27And I've got you, Trina.
28:29Trina, you've given me a second chance, and I am not about to throw that away.
28:37Look, I love that you always manage to see the best in people.
28:42I admire that about you, but I also worry because people lie and you get hurt.
28:51And I'm just trying to spare you from the pain of the person you love the most lying right to your face.
28:57Okay, don't, don't project your issues with Sonny on me.
29:00And listen, I know that people can be manipulative.
29:06Hell, I am the first to admit that my relationship with Brad ended in disaster.
29:12But just because Brad lied to me doesn't mean Marco's going to, too.
29:17Lucas.
29:17You know what?
29:23I don't want to fight with you.
29:27I know that I will never convince you to trust Marco, or even like him for that matter.
29:36You're my sister.
29:38And I love you.
29:39I always will.
29:42But you need to accept that Marco is in my life.
29:48And until then, I just...
29:51I need some space.
29:59Okay.
30:01I understand.
30:04And I know that I can't make you believe something you don't want to believe.
30:09But I love you, too.
30:11You're my brother.
30:14So...
30:14If you need something, for whatever reason, or for no reason at all, will you please call me?
30:23Happy Thanksgiving.
30:27I would choose my next words carefully, Agent Jax.
30:30There is a line you are dangerously close to crossing.
30:32Oh, I'm crossing a line.
30:33Meanwhile, you're just using me to get information out of my own uncle while forcing me to lie to my own mother.
30:39I was very clear on exactly what would be expected from you the first time we talked about you joining the WSB.
30:45Yes, yes, you were.
30:46And I understand how that works for your dating life.
30:48I still have no idea what it has to do with national security.
30:52Okay, look.
30:53If you want to torpedo my relationship with your mother for your own selfish reasons, you can go right ahead.
30:58But you will do so after the job is done.
31:01Oh, and until then, I just shut my mouth and keep acting as your pawn?
31:05Look, I joined the WSB so I can do some good for the world.
31:09Not put innocent people like my uncle in danger.
31:13Sidwell needs to be stopped by any means necessary.
31:16Do you understand the man is about to get his hands on lethal technology?
31:19Yes, and we need to destroy it.
31:21No, we need to acquire it.
31:25The WSB wants the technology for ourselves.
31:29For what?
31:32Laura doesn't deserve this.
31:34She's a good person.
31:36She's done good for this city.
31:39And you set her up to get leverage over me.
31:43I was kind of sure that Laura would try and get rid of the body before going to the police.
31:52But I could not be sure that she would enlist your help.
31:56And we're so, so lucky that she did.
32:00Because now, not only do I have the mayor in my pocket, I also have the local crime lord.
32:07What's to stop me from leaving the country?
32:10Laura can handle the cops.
32:13I'm sure she can.
32:14She most certainly can.
32:16But she's just gone through a very contentious election without once turning on you.
32:24And she had more than one opportunity to do so.
32:28No, no.
32:29Like you, I recognize loyalty.
32:32In this case, works both ways.
32:35I know that you will do anything to protect Laura.
32:39Laura, if I go to the police and I tell them everything that happened, I would have to give up Sonny.
32:47Because Detective Bush was there and he saw us together.
32:52So there's no way that they wouldn't suspect Sonny.
32:55He'd be implicated for sure.
32:58He has a strong motive himself.
33:01But do you think there's any way that a jury might believe that Sonny had nothing to do with the death of Dalton?
33:07On the other hand, if you don't come forward, you'll have to reckon with what it means to give in to Sid Will's demands.
33:20All he can get out of me are concessions from the city government.
33:28But if I could just sort of stay one step ahead of him, you know, I can maybe mitigate the damage.
33:34I have no doubt that you could.
33:37But that's an awfully huge burden to put on your own shoulders.
33:41I'm not going to be the only one, though.
33:46I'm sure that I'm not the only one being blackmailed.
33:51And whatever Sid Will wants from me is going to pale in comparison to what he wants from Sonny.
33:56Oh, I can't believe I let you see my stomach.
34:13I must be way drunker than I thought.
34:26I must be way drunker than I thought.
34:56Well, my paperwork is done.
34:58I probably should get going.
35:00Well, good night, then.
35:03Good night.
35:08Lucas, your mother was my best friend.
35:14And everyone knew she had a fiery temper.
35:17And her ability to hold a grudge was the stuff of legend.
35:21But what was little known was her capacity for forgiveness.
35:28And every time I was with you or Carly, I could see you both had those qualities.
35:34Now, I don't know what's going on between the two of you.
35:39And I don't need to know.
35:42But your mother loved you both very much.
35:47And she wouldn't want this distance between the two of you.
35:49Don't give up on your sister.
35:53Okay?
35:57Okay.
35:57Okay.
35:57So, to protect Laura, you have to protect me and my son.
36:07Because if anyone were to try and hurt us, if Marco was to receive the slightest scratch,
36:14then you and Mayor Collins will have to answer for Professor Dalton's murder.
36:20Thanks so much for seeing me, Sonny.
36:25I think it was a really great idea.
36:28Meeting outside of business hours.
36:30Don't you?
36:46Hello?
36:47There's something I need to tell you about Sidwell.
36:50Yeah, uh, I know.
36:52He was here.
36:54Sonny, what are we gonna do?
36:57We'll figure it out.
37:00WSB's reasons for wanting the technology are classified.
37:03How am I supposed to do my job when everything's being kept from me?
37:08Jocelyn, this is a very complicated situation.
37:10I have made compromises left and right.
37:13But the decision has been made.
37:15And I'm doing everything I can to keep you safe.
37:18Lord knows Carly would be devastated.
37:23Brennan.
37:29Oh, my God.
37:30Oh, my God.
37:58You don't want to do that.
38:25You don't want to do that.
