00:00Good morning.
00:21You're so good about it.
00:24Here are all the files that I prepped on the Schauner case.
00:28Got it.
00:29Thank you very much for taking on all these cases with Willow's trial.
00:33Starting soon, I'm going to have to focus everything I have on that.
00:37Otherwise, I'm not going to see my granddaughter.
00:39And we can't have that.
00:43Morning.
00:44It's early.
00:46I figured you both could use some caffeine.
00:50Thank you, Suzanne.
00:51Drew insisted that we meet here because he's intent on making my life as difficult as possible.
00:57Actually, regarding that, could I speak to you in private?
01:00Mm.
01:01Sure.
01:02Excuse me.
01:05Would you mind if I sat in on trial prep today?
01:09You want to sit in a room with Drew?
01:10Well, I know how much you have riding on this case.
01:14And I thought if things got tense, I could be a buffer between you and the congressman.
01:18Well, I certainly need that.
01:20Absolutely.
01:20You're more than welcome to stay.
01:22Oh, thank you.
01:23Oh, let me get that.
01:24Suzanne, so nice to see you.
01:35Well, this isn't going to work.
01:37What part of private meeting did you not understand?
01:44Oh, that smells amazing.
01:46It's the least I could do, considering you stood guard all night in case Valentin showed up.
01:51Happy to do it.
01:52You need any sleep?
01:54Not even a little.
01:57It was the least I could do to not lock myself in Charlotte's room to keep her safe.
02:01God, I don't think she would have loved that.
02:03No, she would not have.
02:06I'm really glad you were here.
02:07Hi.
02:18Hi.
02:19Hey.
02:20Please tell me you're here because you have a lead on Valentin's whereabouts.
02:23You don't, right?
02:26Yeah, he won't find my dad unless he wants you to.
02:28what are you doing here you're supposed to be hiding jocelyn's gone already she just left five
02:39minutes ago what if she forgets something and she comes back you've got to be more careful
02:43breathing up there there are blankets in the shed those are tarps and i didn't escape from
02:49steinmauer to freeze to death in plastic i'm trying to find you another place to stay
02:53but donna's coming back from sunny's today and you cannot be here i'm pretty sure i can evade an
02:58eight-year-old but thanks for the vote of confidence in the meantime i have something i need you to do
03:04for me chief scorpio it's nice to see you as well how was your thanksgiving i uh understand you and
03:13your family were in boston visiting your daughter how's she doing maxi's a fighter and uh it's a
03:20great facility she's getting the best care possible and we're hoping to see some progress soon
03:25everyone's hoping for that thank you what about you how was your thanksgiving uneventful i uh spent the
03:32day working which reminds me i could use your help on something sure i'm interested in your take on
03:40sunny corinthos i have many many thoughts about sunny can you be more specific
03:46could sunny have killed henry dalton to protect his grandson rocco absolutely
03:53thanks for coming over how you doing i've been better sunny i am so sorry
04:05but i never should have called you when i found dalton's body in the trunk of my car
04:11i'm glad you did you you you needed help i was happy to give it to you i don't know how you
04:18could say that i gave sidwell everything he needed to just destroy us both
04:25oh my gosh my head hurts so much is my head but a wall or something not quite
04:36this might help
04:38what happened last night and what are you doing here
04:48well let's start with what do you remember
04:51oh not much it's all blur
04:57i do know i never would have asked you to spend the night
05:02my mouth is so dry it's like i've been sucking on cotton balls
05:08did you drug me
05:09really
05:12it's a valid question i feel
05:14very horrible
05:16you feel very horrible because you drank a lot
05:19i remember that
05:21i think i was having a great time right with um
05:24cody
05:26yeah
05:27till you weren't
05:29oh that must be when you showed up
05:31the only reason that i agreed to hold this meeting in my house
05:37is because of your ridiculous paranoia over diane
05:39diane is michael and sonny's lawyer if she overhears us say anything she could feed them info about your defense strategy
05:48it's fine we're here now let's just get started
05:51absolutely not
05:52you're fighting for your life here i'm not gonna let you go to prison
05:56for shooting me when we all know michael did it
05:58and i'm certainly not gonna say anything in front of you
06:03you need to leave
06:06now
06:07no there haven't been any sightings of valentine
06:11yet
06:12has he tried to reach out to you
06:15in any way at all
06:16how could he detective west took my phone and mom's keeping me home from school he has no way to reach me
06:21where are you going
06:23outside
06:24i need some fresh air i'm starting to feel like i'm in prison
06:27i'm gonna go check on her
06:32hey what
06:34why don't you let me go
06:35maybe she'll listen to somebody who's not as close to the situation as you are
06:39you guys are so convinced my dad's just gonna show up here
06:52he's been on the run too many times to get caught nobody is better at staying off the radar than my dad
06:56i think that your dad loves you too much to contact you
07:01that's what i'm afraid of
07:04i need you to get a message to anna for me
07:06i can't
07:07will you just hear me out
07:08i really can't
07:09anna is out of town on assignment for the wsb
07:12well that's convenient
07:14what's that jack brown is doing getting her out of the way
07:16i don't think so
07:17i mean he seemed genuinely surprised when he found out
07:19it's disappointing
07:21anyway i've got something else i need you to do
07:24what
07:25you have any blue ribbon
07:27do you have reason to believe henry dalton's dead
07:31not yet
07:32right now he's technically considered just missing
07:35well from what i've been hearing
07:37he had plenty of incentive to run
07:39he did it's looking increasingly likely that he lied about rocco falconeri vandalizing his lab
07:45he's facing destruction of property charges and obstruction of justice
07:50and he hasn't used any of his credit cards or contacted any friends and family in days
07:55it's like he just dropped off the face of the earth
07:59which makes you wonder if sunny might have killed him
08:02yes
08:03well it's certainly possible
08:05i can think of five or six criminals who suddenly vanished after crossing sunny
08:10especially if they threaten his family
08:12if sunny's involved
08:14dalton will never be heard from again
08:16listen make no mistake
08:18despite his charm
08:20and philanthropy
08:22sunny corinthos
08:23is a criminal
08:24and a killer
08:25i gotta be up front with you about something
08:29okay
08:30um
08:30yeah
08:30i told given everything
08:34but he will not go to the police ever
08:36i promise you that
08:37he won't
08:38yeah yeah yeah
08:39he'll protect you with his life
08:41the most important thing right now is we got to be on the same page
08:46okay
08:47so
08:47how exactly
08:49did sid will threaten you
08:52he's got photos of us
08:55looking at dalton's body in the trunk of my car
08:58i mean he planned the whole thing sunny
09:00he caused the flat tire
09:02he hired this guy with a telephoto lens to take a picture of me connecting me to dalton's body
09:07he said that
09:08i was the target
09:10he said that having you there was
09:12just a bonus
09:15did he mention jason
09:19show you any photos
09:21no
09:21he didn't
09:22don't you think that that guy would have probably just followed me when i went with you
09:26i gotta tell you something
09:29what
09:32sid will
09:33has the gun
09:35that killed dalton
09:36and your dna is all over it
09:41what
09:44no how can that even be
09:46that's not possible
09:47how
09:47i can't believe
09:51that's
09:51he planned it perfectly then
09:53so i just have to
09:54i have to do
09:55whatever he tells me to do then
09:57which is
09:59i have to be his
10:03mayor
10:04i have to follow his orders
10:07anything specific
10:09no it
10:10not yet
10:11not yet anyway
10:11but it's not gonna be
10:13it's not gonna be something i want to do
10:15look sunny
10:16i know that i am the one
10:19who got you into this
10:21okay
10:21and i know that if i go down you go down
10:23but
10:24what do i do
10:28if he asks me to do something
10:31that i really can't live with
10:33i need to remind you that you are not the firm's only client
10:39miller and davis also represents my father
10:42among others
10:43and i'm sure he wouldn't be too happy knowing that his interests were being ignored
10:47fine
10:52but i think you can understand that willow is the most important thing in the world to me
10:57i cannot and will not rest until she is cleared
11:01then your wife is lucky to have a lawyer as highly skilled as alexis representing her
11:05and i was heading out to a meeting anyway
11:08suzanne
11:09alexis
11:10i'll see you at the office
11:11i'll see you out
11:13so
11:16would either of you like some tea or coffee
11:19no thank you
11:21i'm good
11:21you can
11:22you can show yourself out
11:24oh i can make myself scarce right now if that's what you would like
11:28but
11:28i know that you're rehearsing testimony today
11:31and sometimes it can be very helpful to have someone act as a stand-in for the jury
11:35i like that idea
11:37i think an impartial take on things would be good
11:39don't you think drew
11:40whatever you want honey
11:42great
11:43then let's get started shall we
11:46charlotte and i have a system for when we're on the run
11:54if we're ever separated a key was our signal
11:57red ribbon means get ready i'm coming for you
12:01and blue ribbon means i'm safe but stay put
12:04will you bring this to her she'll understand
12:08you realize that the pcpd will be watching charlotte
12:12and if she knows you're here she's gonna want to come see you
12:15i don't want you to give it to her directly
12:17just take it to lulu's house and leave it somewhere where she can find it
12:20she'll she'll be looking for it
12:22okay what if charlotte doesn't find it
12:24she will i told her that i would get in contact with her
12:29yeah because you're so trustworthy huh
12:31when it comes to my daughter always
12:34it took more work than i thought it would to convince rocco to go to school he really wanted to stay home
12:41well sure he knows if valentine finds charlotte it could be years before he sees her again
12:45he's not the only one
12:46you know it's not gonna happen
12:48i'm trying really hard to deal with things as they come but
12:54tante i don't think i can take much more i am so scared about charlotte and then rocco still has his trial coming up
13:01okay look
13:03finding valentine is important but there's a lot of manpower going towards finding dalton
13:08who's increasingly looking like someone who didn't just skip town
13:12why
13:13well how many professors do you know that have the resources to just
13:16vanish
13:17so we're investigating his uh background known associates
13:22but you don't think that's sonny
13:24look oh lord
13:27hate to admit it but i have to at least entertain the thought that
13:32sonny wouldn't hesitate to kill someone to protect rocco
13:36especially someone like dalton
13:38sid will's forcing me to sell him my peers
13:43and i know it's just the beginning he's gonna he's gonna have me do jobs
13:48one more illegal and dangerous than the last
13:53this is a nightmare
13:54there's got to be a way to get out from under him sonny
14:02i have some ideas but i need a little time
14:05can you stomach doing what
14:08silver wants
14:10until i can figure out how to handle this bastard
14:13i'm really not sure how we proceed with the rocco falconeri case
14:18henry dalton is our main witness against him and he's still missing
14:23yeah
14:23would you be willing to drop the charges and go back to the original plea deal
14:27well i have no desire to prosecute rocco for a crime he didn't commit
14:32but i also will not let sonny get away with murdering henry dalton
14:36all right so you showed up at the bar and ruined my night
14:41what else what else happened
14:43well you drank too much and i helped you get back here and then brought you up to your room
14:49thanks
14:51i've learned my lesson i will i will make sure i eat something before i go
14:56bar hopping
14:58i really uh could use a shower and it's all the way down the hall so i should probably get
15:04i gave you uh your medication
15:11if you need to get a hold of me
15:13you're already on speed down
15:15um i'll walk you out
15:16okay
15:17hey
15:21how are you holding up
15:23i'm fine
15:25hi i i just wanted to come over and check in and see how everyone's doing i saw the squad
15:29fire parked out front yeah i'm under house arrest look i know this is difficult right now we find
15:34your father things will settle down some
15:37oh
15:43thank you for staying so long i really appreciate it
15:46anytime
15:52hey
15:54who are you
15:56honestly
15:58i want to kill valentine myself
16:00i guess he's gonna ask me to enact his policies measure c
16:06which is not what i ran on i don't know how i'm gonna justify that to the people
16:12or the people i love my grandchildren look up to me
16:18don't worry about that until you have to
16:20and there's dante you know dante is now the acting police commissioner what if
16:24sidwell asked me to squash an investigation you know how am i gonna look dante in the eye
16:31and lie to him listen sidwell's too smart to push you too much too fast
16:38he's gonna come at you with big demands like he's doing with me and that gives me time
16:44to make a plan
16:45oh no it just seems to me that sidwell has all the cards
17:02remember how we met
17:06you and luke team back to port charles no yeah frank smith was hot on your trail we teamed up
17:11the three of us to take him down we were against all odds and we found a way out
17:23we're gonna do it again
17:31i don't hear you making an argument for sunny's innocence
17:34i can't
17:36i really hope sunny didn't kill dalton but there's no way to know for sure
17:41agreed we can be as suspicious as we want but we can't prove it
17:49i'm a little surprised to hear you suspect sunny of doing something so awful
17:55i i know you two had been getting along better these days
17:59because sunny's flirting with me well yeah
18:04there are things about sunny corinthos that are very appealing and the man is definitely charming
18:11but i assure you i'm not falling for any of it
18:15i'm only pretending that this act is working and he's got me wrapped around his little finger
18:22that'll make it all the more satisfying when i get the goods on him
18:24and sent him to prison uncle mech hey hi i uh i've got great news i finally heard back from grandma
18:33my medication right you were uh too drunk to give yourself uh an injection
18:44so you you talked me through it there's no directions on the vial so i i just had to take
18:48your word for it it's two milliliters right yeah it's a number that's kind of burned into my brain
18:56even alcohol can't make me forget it that's good and then your alarm went off a bunch of times you
19:01should just check that too okay thanks so okay um let me guess now that i'm awake and sober
19:12sober adjacent uh you want an explanation right you want to know what my medication is
19:19and who i got it from as the victim of the crime ada turner is going to call on you to be the witness
19:27for the prosecution but i'll be able to cross-examine so why don't you take me through the night you were
19:33shot is that really necessary i really don't like reliving that night yeah i'm afraid it really is
19:41necessary so uh why don't we start with your arrival at home okay well i was at gh right before with
19:48billow and i drove myself home i don't know what else you want me to say it was raining did you see
19:56anyone outside no and what did you do when you got home the first thing i took off my jacket and i made
20:04myself a drink there's something in the safe that i needed to get and what was that willow's engagement
20:13ring what did you do with the ring when you got it i went back to the living room and i put the ring
20:20on the mantle all i was thinking about was was how excited i was to marry willow then what well i was
20:30thinking about the future that willow and i were going to have and i heard a shot the pain didn't
20:37come at first just just the sound and the next thing i knew i was on the ground and that's when
20:48the pain came did you see the shooter no he shot me in the background couldn't even show his face how
20:53many times did he shoot you twice the second shot came when i was already down did he flee after that
20:59i assume so after the second shot i got nothing and that's the last thing you remember yes wait no
21:18there is something else i'm so glad anna called you where is she and when is she coming back
21:23uh i'm not sure i didn't actually talk to grandma i just heard a voicemail from her when i woke up
21:27well makes sense i mean when you're on assignment you call when you can what'd she say um normal
21:34stuff you know happy thanksgiving she's safe she loves me that sort of thing uh she did say she's
21:40probably not gonna be able to call again but that she'd be back as soon as she could
21:45starting to think that valentine's not even going to try to see sure
21:48he seems to love her i don't think he wants to put her in danger but if it were me
21:52i would try to stay away from james yeah but he's not you you're a stand-up guy he's a selfish guy
21:59he wants charlotte with him charlotte couldn't promise me that she wouldn't take off with valentine
22:05if he comes for her i'd love to believe that valentine would take advantage of his new freedom
22:09advantage but i know him better than that he will not leave charlotte behind
22:21this day just keeps getting better i didn't realize you'd have company
22:26i uh came by to check on lulu right uh i'm sorry i need to speak to lulu privately sure
22:33uh call me if you need anything i will
22:43i need you to let me speak to charlotte
22:48absolutely not
23:03yes i do have questions about your medication but i'm willing to wait until you're ready to tell me
23:17what a gentleman
23:20you don't drink for no reason something happened and scared you
23:24and i hope someday you can
23:33i hope someday you can tell me and i hope that you realize that
23:36the reason you can't tell me is because i'm on your side
23:42because i am
23:46i can promise you that
23:48yeah i mean
23:55maybe you're right
23:59maybe something was bothering me last night
24:02but i can't remember so could you please leave i really need to take a shower
24:06oh
24:13jason
24:17thank you for looking out for me
24:21anytime
24:28i'm not mentioning that i dared you to kiss me
24:31i'm sorry i uh
24:36i thought i i had something but
24:40i don't think i do
24:42well what was it something you saw heard i don't know
24:48i don't know when alexis asked me if the second shot was the last thing i remembered
24:53something in me wanted to say no that there was
24:55something else but if there was i i don't remember it
25:01well then your job is to find that memory because it could tell us who shot you
25:05you know who shot me michael shot me and that's exactly what i'm going to tell the jury no you're
25:11not we have been over this and over this the surest way to get a jury to disregard your testimony
25:16is to start talking about facts not in evidence
25:18alexis your strategy is to show the jury that somebody else might have shot me willow is innocent
25:23so i'm the closest person to willow all you got to do is ask me if i think willow is the kind
25:28of person that could shoot someone in cold blood i will say no but that michael corinthos is
25:33an ada turner will object so fast you won't even be able to finish michael's name yeah but
25:38the damage will be done the jury will have heard it and yet the judge can say disregard what you just
25:43heard but once they hear that there's no way turner can unring that bell
25:53valentine played you from the start he knew he couldn't get out of steinmauer on his own so he
25:59had to get himself transferred so he could escape en route saying he wanted to see charlotte was just
26:04part of the plan valentine does love charlotte which is why she is still our best bet to catch him
26:09i don't care i am the only one thinking of charlotte here i am not going to let you use her too
26:15you and i both know that charlotte will never be truly safe while valentine is free she was with him the
26:20last time he was on the run so she probably knows things places he likes to hide contacts he has
26:24great figure it out yourself because you are not seeing charlotte it's okay mom i'll talk to him
26:42oh i'm good i'm good look look look you can go now
26:50cute here we go
26:59next time i'll drink i have to really black out
27:03i mean it drew you need to listen to me you do not pull any tricks like that on the stand you
27:08stick to the facts and you leave your theories out my theories everybody in this room knows michael's
27:13the one that shot me my job is not to convince the jury that michael did it my job is to convince the
27:18jury that willow did not i promise you our case is stronger if i get the police to admit that they
27:24rushed to judgment and focused on the wrong suspect you hired me because of my experience as a defense
27:32attorney you want to win listen to me i know my girl is in there fighting to come back to us i keep hoping
27:41she'll wake up when the kids are there well i miss maxi more than i can say you know i keep um
27:49pulling out my phone to text her and then i remember yeah yeah i know
27:55i mean i keep going back to boston you know to visit her and i'm not sure if it's doing any good
28:00maybe i should stop splitting my focus and stay home and take care of the kids georgie and james
28:10talked to you do they say that i'm not here for them i'm relieved you see sunny for who he is
28:16to admit i was beginning to wonder why are people in the office talking about sunny and me no no not
28:25that i've heard it's just that sunny is my uncle and i have seen him charm many people i agree i am
28:32walking a fine line encouraging sunny without compromising my authority but i'm confident i can do
28:39it and i believe in you but you should know many people have tried to take sunny down and they have
28:47failed that's because they went at him directly i'm making him think i'm on his side until i'm not
28:58i don't see any other way we have to play ball with sidwell yeah i think you're right he's got us
29:04right where he wants us now that we know that he's got those photos i'm already making arrangements to
29:10sell him my peers what's going to fall on you to give him whatever demands sidwell wants yeah i'll
29:17handle his demands and i'll stay as clean as i possibly can i know you will there's no one's
29:22better use that to our advantage yeah so we're going to let sidwell think he won yeah he's going
29:29to start to rely on us yeah and once he does he'll expose more and more of his organization to us
29:36the key is laura
29:39how sid will use your position as mayor is it's going to tell us
29:45why he came to poor charles in the first place and what he's after
29:54drew please alexis is an amazing attorney we need to let her do her job
30:04okay i see your point if you are sure that you can convince the jury that willow is innocent without
30:12me mentioning michael i won't do it thank you now i'd like to go over who else i'm gonna call to the
30:21stand wait wait sorry aren't we gonna rehearse my testimony first well we don't need to you're not
30:26testifying yes i am i have to
30:31mr rios i'm not sure why you're here but it's not a good time this won't take long
30:45invite yourself in why don't you this envelope contains the address to the new lab that my father
30:53set up after dalton's other labs were compromised and a key fob that grants you access our work
31:00continues despite the setback with dalton setback your father executed the man right in front of me
31:09you're in charge of the new lab now and my father wants you back at work as soon as possible
31:14you're expected at 9 a.m sharp tomorrow i can't i have to work at gh no you don't
31:23are you spying on me now more like monitoring and after your behavior at the five poppies you can't
31:32be surprised they don't push me mr rios you need me i'm aware you bring a certain value to our project but
31:40no one is irreplaceable just ask henry dalton my father's patience is wearing thin so don't be more
31:51trouble than you're worth okay what do i do sidwell is arrogant enough to believe that you're completely
32:00under his control you need to lean into that so let him walk all over me just until
32:10until he gets comfortable because when he gets comfortable what happens is
32:15he lowers his guard starts you happy starts talking a lot then we can figure out
32:22what he's after and where he's vulnerable okay i'll do it i'll get the information we need
32:30we'll bring him down together
32:34do you have a way to contact your father i had a phone but the cops took it
32:38valentine would never trust phones anyway there's got to be another way
32:45charlotte if you don't help me there's no way i can guarantee your father's safety
32:49charlotte i need to speak with mr brendan alone can you please go to your room
32:53i was just in there can i at least go sit on the porch fine stay close
33:05how dare you threaten my daughter and terrorize her into cooperating with you
33:12i am not gonna let charlotte think that your screw-up is in any way her fault
33:16i want valentine taken and alive but the longer this manhunt goes on
33:20the more chance there is that charlotte is going to be used as bait
33:35uncle mac you know if my grandma here she would tell you to do what you think is best for your
33:45family don't second guess it okay i better get back to my office you know anna can come back and
33:52reclaim her job anytime she wants yeah knows valentine better than anybody be a lot easier to find him if she
33:57were here unless she's the one who helped him escape okay i left the key for charlotte on lulu's
34:05porch thank you how is she well she hates how overprotective everyone's being i mean dante lulu
34:11the cops everyone is watching her like a hawk so if i had to guess she would be happy to hear from you
34:15all i wanted to see her but i don't think that's a very good idea yes i agree in the meantime i've
34:21discovered a better hiding place inside the house you are not staying here every minute i stay out there
34:25i risk being discovered without me you do not bring jack brennan down and jocelyn is not free of
34:30his influence or the wsb okay fine you can stay in the attic that's the best i have for you so how
