00:00Thanks for coming by.
00:04I could really use your help.
00:06Okay. Yeah, whatever you need.
00:08What can I do?
00:10Help me explain to Wiley
00:11that his mom married Drew.
00:14Willow, you don't need to testify.
00:16And more importantly, you shouldn't.
00:19But the jury needs to hear my side.
00:21Why?
00:22Why? Because they need to hear it from me.
00:25In my own voice.
00:26That I did not shoot the man I love.
00:28Gentlemen, we are a week out
00:31from Willow Tate's trial.
00:34And you choose now to bring in
00:35a brand new suspect?
00:37Well, considering she married the guy
00:38she supposedly shot,
00:39she may be going by Willow Kane now.
00:41That is the least of our problems.
00:43My concern is how we just handed
00:45reasonable doubt to the defense
00:46on a silver platter.
00:47What? Yeah, don't like it either,
00:49but we uncovered new information.
00:51We can't ignore it.
00:53No, we can't.
00:55So, your report said
00:57that the bartender
00:59at the Brown Dog Bar
01:00was able to recall
01:01seeing Curtis Ashford
01:02because the former deputy mayor
01:03joined him shortly after he arrived.
01:05Yeah, he also said
01:06that Curtis arrived at the bar later
01:08than he claimed to in his statement.
01:10Maybe late enough
01:11to leave the Savoy,
01:12stop by Drew,
01:13shoot Drew,
01:14and then meet Jordan at the bar.
01:15So, we're looking at the very real possibility
01:18that Curtis Ashford
01:20is the one who shot Drew Kane.
01:22So, it's a home office
01:23and you shouldn't have
01:25much trouble changing it
01:26to a nursery.
01:27It's not like you have to rip out
01:28any appliances
01:28or change a roof line.
01:30The baby will be coming
01:31in six months,
01:32so you got six months.
01:34Curtis, I am so sorry.
01:36No, I'll...
01:36Yes, ma'am.
01:37This really can't wait.
01:38It's about Portia
01:41and the baby.
01:46You want to see me?
01:48Close the door and have a seat.
01:51Okay.
01:52What's wrong?
01:54Is there a problem with the patients?
01:57No, no.
02:00I'm going to have to tell Curtis about us.
02:03El Nol Palmeo for madame.
02:08Thank you, Pascal, as always.
02:11De rien.
02:12Mesdames, are you sure
02:13I can't get you anything?
02:15No, thanks.
02:16We're fine.
02:20You seem to be on good terms
02:22with Sidwell's butler.
02:23Well, Pascal is a delight.
02:25You know, he's so Francais
02:27and he's also always very accommodating.
02:30Always.
02:32Glenn.
02:33Always a pleasure.
02:35Let's go here.
02:36Mr. Sidwell.
02:37Now, it's lovely to see you
02:39but I was on the impression
02:40that this meeting was exclusively
02:41for Deception and the shareholders.
02:44Well, I may not be a shareholder
02:45but my daughter is.
02:46I'm here to make sure
02:47that her interests are represented.
02:50I have no objection.
02:51No objection.
02:52As long as it's okay
02:53with the ladies of Deception.
02:55Oh, well, you know,
02:56I can't possibly object
02:57because if Maxie wakes up
02:59when she does,
03:00I would be in deep trouble.
03:02So, I mean, of course,
03:03I don't have any objections at all.
03:05I don't have any objections.
03:06Felicia is more than welcome.
03:08I just want to make sure
03:09that Deception is thriving
03:10by the time that Maxie wakes up.
03:13Which means getting it out of the hole
03:15it's been in since her illness.
03:17Very good.
03:18And in fact,
03:19it's that hole
03:19that's the reason why
03:20I called you over.
03:21I've come up with a guaranteed way
03:24to reinvigorate Deception.
03:30It's been long enough!
03:33Answer me!
03:34What do you want from me?
03:35That's always worth a try.
03:50What do you want from me?
04:21Jack wouldn't be playing
04:23the Charlotte card
04:23if he didn't need
04:24this essential information
04:26from Valentin.
04:27And why does he need
04:28this essential information
04:30at the exact same time
04:32that two of Faison's children
04:34have resurfaced?
04:35If anyone could convincingly
04:52fake their own deaths
04:54and lull us all
04:55into a false sense of security
04:57so we think for one moment
04:59that we are safe
05:01is safe to our face on.
05:08I'm always happy to help.
05:11And the kids,
05:12they've really come
05:13to rely on their aunt.
05:14And, you know,
05:15telling Wiley
05:16that his mom married Drew
05:17it's not going to be easy.
05:18But I feel like
05:18if you're there
05:19it'll help soften
05:20the blow a little bit.
05:22Okay.
05:23Yeah.
05:23I'm always here
05:24for your kids
05:25and for you.
05:26Thanks.
05:27You've had a tough time
05:29lately, Michael
05:30and Willow getting married
05:31on top of that
05:32it's probably not been easy.
05:34You doing okay?
05:35Not exactly.
05:38I'm just hoping
05:39it doesn't show.
05:40Well, probably not
05:41to everyone else.
05:42To me?
05:44How could it not?
05:46I know.
05:46I had a bit of a meltdown
05:48during the custody hearing
05:49but that's because
05:49I was completely blindsided
05:51by that judge's ruling.
05:54Everyone was.
05:55But I am not
05:56the same weak person
05:57who fell apart then
05:58because things
05:59didn't go her way.
06:00That may be.
06:00Alexis.
06:02I will not let
06:03that ADA get to me.
06:04I will make
06:05that jury believe me
06:07and when I do
06:07there is no way
06:09I'll be found guilty.
06:10Willow, it's just
06:11not that simple.
06:12But it could help.
06:13Right?
06:14It could help
06:15if your testimony
06:16is perfect
06:17and the odds
06:18of that happening
06:18are highly...
06:18I need to beat
06:19these charges.
06:21If I don't
06:22I will lose
06:23my children forever
06:24and I cannot
06:26just sit back
06:26and do nothing
06:27and let things
06:28run their course.
06:29Willow, we've had
06:30several trial runs
06:32and based on
06:33your past performance
06:34the risks
06:35outweigh the benefits.
06:37Okay, well I've been
06:37practicing
06:38and I'm a lot better
06:39than when all of this
06:39started.
06:40According to whom?
06:42The bathroom mayor?
06:44Why don't we
06:45rehearse Willow's testimony
06:47again with an
06:47impartial jury?
06:49We'll see how it
06:49stands up after
06:50all that practice.
06:52Where would we get
06:52an impartial jury?
06:54You're looking at her.
06:58Portia, it's up to
06:59you of course.
07:00But why tell
07:02Curtis now?
07:03Because there's
07:04a good chance
07:04he's going to find
07:05out anyway.
07:06Not because I
07:07want to tell
07:07him.
07:09Because I might
07:10be compelled to
07:11in a court of law.
07:13I don't understand.
07:15I had a motive
07:16to shoot Drew Kane.
07:19One that no one
07:20knew about.
07:22But someone I
07:23trusted.
07:24They tipped off
07:25the defense.
07:27And you think
07:28you might be
07:29arrested?
07:30Nothing has come
07:31of it yet.
07:31The trial isn't
07:32for a few days.
07:34But if the police
07:35ask me about my
07:36whereabouts the night
07:36of the shooting.
07:38You'll have to say
07:38you're with me
07:39all night.
07:46I'm going to
07:46spend your
07:47influence.
07:48I'm going to
07:49Nick.
07:52Isaiah, I'm
07:53just so sorry.
07:54No, I
07:55understand.
07:57What I don't
07:58get is where
07:58Curtis comes
07:59into this.
08:00Our marriage
08:01may be over,
08:01but Curtis has
08:02taken extraordinary
08:03steps to protect
08:04me from this
08:04investigation.
08:06It's the only
08:06reason we haven't
08:07got divorced yet.
08:09And I can't
08:09let him put
08:10himself on the
08:11line when I'm
08:11sitting on
08:12information that
08:12could exonerate
08:13me.
08:14I owe him
08:15that much.
08:16Yeah, that's
08:18the thing,
08:19Portia.
08:19you don't.
08:21I'm sorry for
08:22barging in like
08:23this.
08:24Portia was
08:24adamant that
08:26we don't mention
08:27anything about
08:28the baby until
08:28after the first
08:29trimester.
08:30Well, due to
08:31the circumstances,
08:32it just sort of
08:32slipped out.
08:33What circumstances?
08:35Okay, I'll just
08:36tell you.
08:36Um, Alexis
08:38needed to argue
08:39that the PCPD
08:41rushed to charge
08:42Willow with
08:43Drew's shooting,
08:44that they had
08:45other suspects
08:46that they should
08:47have investigated.
08:48Nina.
08:49So I told
08:50someone who
08:51knows Alexis
08:52that Portia
08:54might have
08:55had a motive
08:56and that
08:58person told
09:00Alexis.
09:00what a lucky
09:02break for
09:03Willow.
09:06Unbelievable,
09:06Nina.
09:07Then when
09:08Portia found
09:08out, you
09:09know, she
09:09was not
09:10happy.
09:10Portia was
09:11your friend,
09:12okay?
09:13And you just
09:13sold her out
09:14like nothing.
09:14Well, my
09:16daughter is
09:16not nothing.
09:18Neither is
09:18Portia.
09:20And yet you
09:20stabbed us both
09:21in the back.
09:21You want to
09:23sell us
09:23your zinc
09:24kite at
09:25cost.
09:25Yes, any
09:27of the minerals
09:27that you might
09:29be using for
09:29deception products
09:30and you'll be
09:31being significantly
09:32less in price.
09:34That is true.
09:35I have crunched
09:36the numbers.
09:38Right.
09:39So the two of
09:39you have
09:40discussed this
09:41already?
09:42Well, just
09:43tidbits here and
09:44there really.
09:45Yeah, tidbits.
09:45Tidbits, but
09:46Jen's offer would
09:47cut our production
09:49costs significantly,
09:50very dramatically,
09:51and look,
09:53ladies, if we
09:54really want to
09:55get deception
09:55back in the
09:56black, this is
09:57the way to do
09:58it.
09:58You would be
09:59taking a huge
10:00hit on the
10:01port fees.
10:01Not even you
10:02could afford to
10:02be that generous.
10:03Although I just
10:03have the shipments
10:04delivered straight
10:05to Piers 55-56.
10:07That way I won't
10:07eat any of the
10:08costs.
10:09But those are
10:09my Uncle
10:09Sonny's Piers
10:10and I doubt he
10:12wants to give
10:12you a freebie.
10:13They were
10:14Uncle Sonny's
10:15Piers until
10:16I bought them.
10:20I wanted
10:21Wiley to
10:21enjoy his
10:22Thanksgiving.
10:22That's why I
10:23haven't told him
10:23what his
10:23mother did
10:24that day.
10:26Well, I hope
10:26you were able
10:27to enjoy your
10:28Thanksgiving at
10:28least a little
10:29too.
10:29It had its
10:40ups and downs.
10:41But there's
10:42another reason
10:42why I haven't
10:43told Wiley.
10:45I don't know
10:46how to explain
10:47to him what
10:48his mother did
10:49without him seeing
10:51how furious I
10:51am with her.
10:52With all due
10:53respect, you are
10:55Alexis' assistant.
10:56So that kind
10:57of incentivizes
10:58you just to
10:59back her up.
11:01Alexis has
11:02made it very
11:02clear that
11:03telling her
11:03what she
11:04wants to
11:04hear is not
11:05a part of
11:06my job
11:06description.
11:07I mean, she
11:07wants an
11:08objective perspective
11:09on everything
11:09from the
11:10clients we
11:11take on to
11:11the coffee we
11:12serve them.
11:13And it's
11:13what I give
11:14her.
11:15And it's
11:15what I'll
11:16give you.
11:17And we're
11:17just supposed
11:18to take your
11:18word on that.
11:19You can
11:19take mine.
11:20Because when
11:21it comes to
11:21juries, she's a
11:22bloodhound.
11:23She has
11:24sat in on
11:25numerous trials
11:26with Diane and
11:26me.
11:27She's crucial
11:28when it comes
11:28to jury
11:29selection, and
11:30she has
11:30great insight
11:31into how a
11:32testimony will
11:32land.
11:33And if
11:34nothing else,
11:34it gives
11:35you another
11:35chance to
11:36practice.
11:37All right,
11:37let's do
11:38it.
11:39And Alexis,
11:40don't go
11:40easy on me.
11:41Turner won't,
11:43so I
11:43can't.
11:46I understand
11:47your reasoning
11:48for telling
11:48Curtis.
11:49What I don't
11:50get is your
11:50timing.
11:51Have you been
11:52called as a
11:52witness?
11:53No, not
11:54yet.
11:54Okay, so
11:55Willow's
11:55attorney may
11:56not bring
11:56it up at
11:57trial, and
11:58the police
11:58may never
11:59find out
11:59about it,
11:59in which
12:00case, you'll
12:01just be
12:01provoking
12:02Curtis if
12:02you tell
12:03him.
12:04And
12:04potentially
12:04damaging
12:05your career.
12:06Sleeping
12:06with the
12:07co-chief of
12:07staff, yeah.
12:09I'll definitely
12:10be looked at
12:11as unprofessional.
12:11Maybe I'll
12:12be forced
12:12out of
12:12the hospital,
12:13maybe not.
12:14Either way,
12:16it'll dog
12:17me.
12:18I know,
12:18this is why
12:19I'm telling
12:19you this right
12:20now.
12:21If it's
12:21between
12:22you telling
12:23the cops
12:24you were
12:24with me
12:24all night,
12:25or you
12:26going down
12:27for something
12:27you didn't
12:28do, tell
12:29the truth.
12:31No question.
12:33But what
12:33about you?
12:34I'll handle
12:34the consequences,
12:36whatever they
12:38are.
12:39I get that
12:40you are upset,
12:41Chris, I really
12:41do, but you
12:42have to understand
12:43that my daughter
12:44is going on
12:45trial for
12:46something that
12:47she didn't do.
12:48I already
12:48tried to
12:48give her
12:49an alibi.
12:50When you
12:50lied to
12:51the police.
12:51Yes, I
12:52screwed up,
12:52which led
12:53to Willow's
12:53arrest, so
12:54I had to
12:54try to
12:55make it
12:56right.
12:56I had to
12:57fix it,
12:57and I know
12:58that Drew
12:58was blackmailing
12:59Portia with
13:00something which
13:00gave her a motive
13:01the police
13:02didn't know
13:02about.
13:02All I did
13:03was have a
13:05conversation in
13:06which Portia's
13:07name came out
13:08as a possible
13:09alternate suspect.
13:10You know,
13:10I can't control
13:12what that person
13:13did or didn't do
13:14with that information.
13:15The only reason
13:16you know about
13:17Drew's blackmail
13:18is because Portia
13:19trusted you enough
13:20to tell you,
13:21and you repaid
13:22her trust by
13:23stabbing her in
13:24the back.
13:24I didn't mean
13:25to hurt her,
13:28but Curtis,
13:28I have to
13:29protect my
13:29child.
13:30At the expense
13:31of another,
13:33by trying to
13:33keep Willow out
13:34of prison,
13:34you may have
13:34just ensured
13:35that my child
13:36will be born
13:37in one.
13:38So the
13:38inconsistencies
13:39in Curtis' story
13:40got us a subpoena
13:41for the Savoy
13:42security footage.
13:43Once we get it,
13:44we should be able
13:44to determine when
13:45Curtis left,
13:45and if he had
13:45enough time
13:46to stop by
13:46Drew's house
13:47and shoot him
13:47before meeting
13:48Jordan at the bar.
13:49Well,
13:50when can we
13:50expect this footage?
13:53Right now.
14:04Okay.
14:05There's Curtis
14:05entering.
14:06The timestamp
14:07tracks with this story.
14:09Can you scroll ahead
14:10to the time
14:11Curtis claimed
14:11he left?
14:12Wait, wait, wait, wait,
14:15wait.
14:16Somebody else
14:16going in.
14:18I thought Curtis
14:18said he was alarmed.
14:20He did.
14:21He'd freeze that.
14:25Is that who
14:26I think it is?
14:27Yeah.
14:29Yeah, it is.
14:30And that's not good
14:31for Curtis Ashford.
14:32Okay.
14:36Where were you
14:38during the time
14:39of Congressman
14:40Kane's shooting?
14:41I was at the hospital.
14:44I got some upsetting
14:45news,
14:45so I took a walk,
14:46then I took a drive.
14:48Did you drive
14:49to the congressman's house?
14:50No.
14:52Where'd you go?
14:54Nowhere in particular.
14:56I was upset
14:56and driving around.
14:58I needed
14:58some time to think
14:59to be alone,
15:00so I was just driving.
15:03And why were you upset?
15:04I had just learned
15:06that Judge Herron
15:07had died,
15:08which meant
15:09I'd have to wait
15:10even longer
15:10before I could
15:11see my children again.
15:13How did losing
15:14your children
15:14make you feel?
15:15I was devastated.
15:18I loved Wiley
15:19and Amelia
15:19more than anything.
15:21Did you blame
15:22the congressman
15:22for you losing
15:23your kids?
15:25Of course not.
15:26Hadn't he been
15:28advising you
15:29in matters
15:29regarding your children?
15:31What do you mean?
15:33Did congressman Kane
15:34invite you
15:35to bring
15:35Michael Corinthos'
15:36son Wiley
15:37to his inauguration
15:39in D.C.?
15:39Wiley is my son, too.
15:41Your adopted son?
15:44Yes.
15:46Not your biological child?
15:49I did not give birth
15:51to him,
15:52but he's still my son.
15:54Did the congressman
15:55invite you
15:56to bring Wiley
15:56to D.C.?
15:58He did.
15:59Did you get
16:00your ex-husband's
16:00permission
16:01to take his,
16:02I'm sorry,
16:02your son
16:03across state lines?
16:05No,
16:06but that was
16:06my decision.
16:07Drew had nothing
16:08to do with it.
16:09When the children's
16:10father was in
16:10the burn unit
16:11at General Hospital,
16:12did congressman Kane
16:13advise you
16:14to withhold access
16:15from Michael's family?
16:17Yes.
16:18Did you take
16:19the congressman's advice
16:20and keep Michael's
16:21parents from him?
16:22At first.
16:23And after your husband
16:24came back
16:24from Germany,
16:26you sued him
16:26for full custody,
16:27correct?
16:28Okay,
16:28Alexis,
16:29that's enough.
16:29We get it.
16:30The jury's gonna twist
16:31everything that Willow
16:31says to make her
16:33seem like she had
16:34reason to shoot.
16:35And the prosecution's
16:36not gonna have to
16:36work that hard
16:37to do that.
16:37So Selena and Curtis,
16:43they've actually
16:43dissociated in the past.
16:46She was running
16:46illegal card games
16:47out of the Savoy,
16:48so if he wanted
16:49to get a certain
16:50job done,
16:51she's someone
16:52he could have
16:52gone to.
16:53I mean,
16:54stand-up guy,
16:55but...
16:56Everybody's got
16:56their breaking point.
16:57Yeah.
17:00Okay.
17:01Okay,
17:01let's say
17:02Curtis brought in
17:03Selena Wu
17:04to arrange a hit
17:05on Drew Kane.
17:06How'd they get
17:08Edward Quartermain's
17:09revolver?
17:10Michael could have
17:10added Curtis over
17:11to the Quartermains,
17:12talking business.
17:13He could have
17:13taken it then.
17:14Or maybe his wife,
17:15Portia Robinson.
17:15She's co-chief over
17:16at G.H.
17:18You know,
17:18she'd meet with
17:19Monica Quartermain there.
17:20Maybe she took the gun.
17:21So now it's a conspiracy?
17:23For people with
17:24plenty of access
17:25to firearms,
17:25why go to the trouble
17:26of getting a gun
17:27from the Quartermains
17:28and then planting it
17:29with Willow's things
17:30at Elizabeth Baldwin's?
17:31Those are answers
17:32we don't have yet.
17:32Well, we need them.
17:34We need to tie
17:35Curtis Ashford
17:36to Drew Kane's shooting
17:37or clear him of it
17:38before Willow Tate's
17:39trial begins.
17:40Yes, otherwise
17:40the defense will claim
17:41that we glossed over
17:42evidence against
17:43Curtis the Plowhead
17:44with our prosecution
17:45of Willow.
17:45And they'll motion
17:46to have the case
17:47against Willow dismissed.
17:48And I'll be shocked
17:49if the judge
17:50doesn't grant it.
17:50Okay.
17:52So how do you want to play?
17:52Sonny sold you
17:57to his peers?
17:58Oh, there's a couple
17:58of deal points
17:59still to figure out.
18:00But yes,
18:00it's pretty much done.
18:01Impression?
18:03Sonny held on
18:04to those peers
18:04for decades.
18:05He narrowly won
18:06the right to keep them
18:07when Measure C
18:08was defeated.
18:09And then he
18:10up and sells them
18:11to the very man
18:12he's fighting with
18:13for control of them?
18:14Well,
18:15I was very much hoping
18:16Measure C would pass
18:17so I could buy the peers
18:18at a competitive rate.
18:20But since Measure C failed
18:22and Sonny was not forced
18:24to give up his peers,
18:26I had to up
18:27my offer substantially.
18:29Oh, you must have
18:30floated a pretty big price.
18:33Oh, everyone has
18:34their price
18:35in this quarter main.
18:36Even Sonny Carinthos.
18:39Now, I just want
18:40to be clear.
18:41This isn't about
18:41my relationship
18:42with Willow.
18:43It's about her relationship
18:44with our kids.
18:45Okay.
18:47Michael,
18:48Willow does love
18:49her kids.
18:49She certainly
18:50thinks she does.
18:53Okay, so...
18:54So what's the plan
18:55after you tell Wiley?
18:57I don't know.
18:58I don't know,
18:59but whatever happens,
19:00I'm not letting my kids
19:01be in the same room,
19:01let alone the same house
19:02as Drew.
19:03Well, I think Willow's
19:04probably going to have
19:05a lot to say about that.
19:05I know she will.
19:08Now, she can't wait
19:08for them all to be
19:09under the same roof,
19:10which, in my mind,
19:12and hopefully the judges,
19:14disqualifies her
19:15as a mother.
19:17You and the Congressman
19:18recently married,
19:20and this was your
19:20second attempt
19:21at tying the knot,
19:23right?
19:23It was.
19:25So what happened
19:25the first time?
19:28I didn't go through
19:29with it.
19:30And why is that?
19:33I learned Drew
19:34had been untruthful
19:35about certain things.
19:36Such as?
19:37His affair
19:38with my mother.
19:39So,
19:40he was sleeping
19:41with your mother
19:42while he was courting you.
19:44He was.
19:45And how did that
19:46make you feel?
19:48I was
19:48upset.
19:50But after I had
19:52some time to calm down
19:52and think about things,
19:53I reconsidered.
19:55I see.
19:58Let's go back
19:59to the night
19:59of the shooting.
20:01After your drive,
20:02where did you go?
20:03Back to the hospital
20:04to finish my shift.
20:06And that's when
20:07I found out
20:08Drew had been shot.
20:10It was so horrible,
20:11I fainted.
20:13How could anyone
20:14think I would
20:14shoot Drew?
20:16He's my husband.
20:17I love him.
20:17I need him.
20:19I don't have
20:20to love Drew.
20:21I love my kids.
20:23And I will do
20:24whatever I need to
20:25to have Wiley
20:26and Amelia
20:26back with me.
20:28Willow,
20:29that was perfect.
20:30That was
20:31perfect.
20:32Alexis,
20:33there's no way
20:34a jury
20:34wouldn't believe
20:35that.
20:36Except,
20:38Willow,
20:40you can't
20:41volunteer
20:41any of that.
20:44As far as I know,
20:45Alexis hasn't
20:46said anything
20:46to anybody
20:47about Portia
20:48having a motive.
20:49I mean,
20:49the PCPD
20:50hasn't even
20:51questioned Portia,
20:53let alone
20:53charged her.
20:54Yes.
20:55Oh, you're
20:55jumping to a
20:56conclusion that
20:57might never happen.
21:00Unless
21:01you think
21:02that Portia
21:03actually shot
21:05Drew.
21:06In which case,
21:07what,
21:07you just stood
21:08by and let
21:08my daughter
21:09take the fall?
21:11Willow had
21:11as much reason
21:12as anyone
21:13to want Drew
21:13gone.
21:14And no small
21:15part thanks
21:16to you.
21:17How can I be
21:18sure Willow
21:19didn't pull
21:19that trigger?
21:20I'm sure.
21:21Like you're
21:21sure about
21:21every horrible
21:22decision you've
21:23ever made?
21:24Like using
21:24Portia as
21:26your daughter's
21:26defense strategy?
21:27Curtis,
21:27I know that
21:28my daughter
21:28is innocent.
21:30It's a pity
21:31that you
21:32can't say
21:32the same
21:32thing
21:33about your
21:33wife.
21:35Come in.
21:38Jay,
21:39what brings
21:40you by?
21:42Nina,
21:42can you step
21:43out the hall,
21:43please?
21:46Yeah,
21:47of course.
21:55Is there
21:56something I can
21:56help you with,
21:57detective?
21:57I'm afraid
21:58so.
22:00Look at
22:00Sashford,
22:01you're under
22:01arrest.
22:03If someone
22:04was hiding
22:05in the car
22:05and they
22:07used chloroform
22:07to put me
22:08out...
22:27I was
22:36blindfolded
22:37and drugged
22:38again.
22:40I woke
22:40up in
22:41transit
22:41and I
22:43was in
22:44a truck
22:45or a bus
22:46and then
22:50we were
22:50on water.
22:52We were
22:53definitely
22:53on water.
22:56Okay.
22:57Where am I?
23:15Well,
23:16your proposal
23:16is tempting
23:17but we need
23:17to know
23:18the rest
23:18of your terms.
23:20You much
23:20think there
23:20are any?
23:21Because you
23:22don't stand
23:22to gain
23:22anything.
23:23I am a
23:24major stakeholder
23:24in deception.
23:25Your success
23:26is my success.
23:28Yes,
23:28you know
23:29what they
23:29say.
23:30A rising
23:30tide lifts
23:31all boats
23:32and when
23:33it's our
23:33boat it
23:34also lifts
23:34eyes,
23:35cheeks and
23:36chins.
23:36As they
23:37say.
23:37But you
23:38know what?
23:38I'm sorry,
23:39you're right.
23:39I do have
23:40one non-negotiable
23:41stipulation.
23:43Which is?
23:43All materials
23:45imported for
23:46deception
23:46must be
23:47under my
23:47exclusive
23:48management.
23:50So you
23:50expect us
23:51to let you
23:52just slap
23:52deception's
23:53name on
23:53all imports
23:54you're bringing
23:54in without
23:54our supervision?
23:56Yes,
23:56it's to stop
23:57prices spiraling
23:58out of control.
23:59I would never
24:00have insisted
24:00otherwise.
24:01And we're
24:02just supposed
24:02to take
24:02your word
24:02on that?
24:03No,
24:03I'm sorry,
24:04that doesn't
24:04work for me
24:05and it
24:05certainly
24:05won't work
24:06for my
24:06grandmother.
24:07Everything
24:08you're feeling
24:08right now,
24:09Michael,
24:09all this
24:09anger and
24:10resentment,
24:11it's
24:11completely
24:11valid,
24:12but you
24:13can't show
24:13that to
24:13your kids.
24:14I know,
24:14but how
24:14am I
24:15supposed to
24:15explain to
24:16Wiley that
24:16his mommy
24:17married the
24:17man that
24:17destroyed his
24:18family?
24:18You don't.
24:20At least
24:21not in those
24:21words.
24:23We know
24:24firsthand how
24:25painful it is
24:25to be in the
24:26middle of your
24:27parents' battleground
24:28and that is the
24:29worst place for a
24:30child to be
24:31and you,
24:31you love Wiley
24:33and Amelia far
24:34too much to
24:35put them there.
24:37So here's what
24:37we're going to
24:38do.
24:39You are
24:40simply going
24:41to tell
24:42Wiley the
24:42truth that
24:43his mother
24:44married Drew.
24:45No,
24:45it's just
24:45that easy.
24:46No,
24:46it's not
24:46that easy.
24:47It's just
24:48that it's
24:48the first
24:49step in
24:49the minefield
24:50and when
24:51Wiley asks
24:53you when
24:53the next
24:53time he's
24:54going to
24:54be able
24:54to see
24:54his mother
24:55is,
24:56you tell
24:56him the
24:56truth.
24:57You say
24:57that you
24:58don't know
24:58yet and
24:59that that
24:59decision
24:59is up to
25:00a judge.
25:02Okay.
25:03Okay,
25:03I can do
25:04that.
25:04It's the
25:04truth.
25:05Good.
25:05Okay.
25:06This is the
25:07hardest part.
25:09You cannot
25:10pass any
25:11judgment
25:11on Willow
25:12and what
25:13she's done.
25:15What you
25:15can do,
25:16though,
25:16is you
25:17can be
25:17there for
25:18your son
25:18and you
25:19can reassure
25:20him that
25:20you're not
25:20going anywhere.
25:22What are you
25:23talking about,
25:24Alexis?
25:24Everything that
25:25Willow just
25:25said was
25:26honest.
25:26It was
25:26perfect.
25:28It looked
25:28and sounded
25:29like she
25:29was trying
25:30to manipulate
25:30the jury
25:31and they're
25:31going to
25:31see right
25:32through it.
25:33Do I
25:33need to do
25:34something
25:34differently?
25:34I will.
25:35Let's
25:35go again.
25:36Before we
25:37do that,
25:38let's hear
25:38from our
25:38impartial
25:39jury.
25:39Suzanne,
25:40what do
25:40you think?
25:44Guilty.
25:51You have
25:51the right
25:51to remain
25:52silent.
25:53Anything you
25:53say can
25:54and will
25:54be used
25:54against you
25:55in the
25:55court of
25:55law.
25:56You have
25:56the right
25:57to an
25:57attorney.
26:00What's
26:00going on?
26:04Do you
26:05understand
26:05these rights
26:06as I've
26:06explained
26:06them to
26:06you?
26:08I do.
26:10Curtis,
26:11what's
26:12happening?
26:13Call my
26:14lawyer.
26:28Macaron,
26:28anyone?
26:29Freshly
26:29made by
26:30our chef.
26:31Thank you,
26:31Pascal,
26:31and thanks,
26:32chef,
26:32but maybe
26:32later.
26:34Of course,
26:34monsieur.
26:35Lucy,
26:36explain to
26:37your
26:37colleagues
26:37that with
26:38this new
26:39arrangement,
26:39I'm more
26:41than confident
26:41that deception
26:42can reach
26:43even loftier
26:43heights than
26:44before Max's
26:45tragic incident.
26:47If only she
26:48were here to
26:48offer her
26:48thoughts on
26:49this new
26:49arrangement.
26:50Indeed,
26:51indeed.
26:53But what's
26:54important is
26:54that we
26:55prevent the
26:56company from
26:56going bankrupt
26:57and with
26:59my proposal,
27:00I can
27:02guarantee
27:02that.
27:03Have we
27:03discussed
27:04this?
27:05Oh,
27:05we did?
27:06Yes.
27:06Broadly,
27:07nothing really
27:07specific,
27:08though.
27:09Just enough
27:09to crunch
27:10the numbers.
27:11Okay,
27:11look,
27:12Brooklyn,
27:13you and
27:14your grandmother,
27:15Tracy,
27:15they're gonna,
27:16you're both
27:17just fine.
27:17You're gonna
27:18be fine if
27:19deception.
27:20Tanks,
27:20you won't
27:21struggle at
27:21all,
27:22and I have
27:22my real
27:23estate company
27:23my whole
27:24career to
27:25fall back
27:25on.
27:26But the
27:26one person
27:27who will
27:28suffer the
27:29most if
27:29deception
27:30collapses
27:31is...
27:31Maxie.
27:32is Maxie.
27:34So,
27:34come on.
27:35Deception
27:36is Maxie's
27:37whole livelihood.
27:39We have to
27:39do everything
27:40in our power
27:41to make sure
27:41that deception
27:42stays afloat.
27:43And I know
27:44you don't have
27:45to believe him
27:46and you don't
27:46have to trust him,
27:47but trust me,
27:49I believe that
27:49this is the only
27:50way we're going
27:51to save
27:51deception.
27:53So,
27:53what do you
27:55think?
27:55I mean,
27:56can we do
27:58this?
27:59For Maxie?
28:03So much
28:04for impartiality.
28:05This is what
28:06trial prep
28:07looks like.
28:08Suzanne,
28:09how did you
28:10come to your
28:10conclusion?
28:11She came off
28:12as defensive.
28:14Sorry.
28:16You reacted
28:16sharp.
28:18Talking about
28:19how you
28:19found out
28:20the congressman
28:21had been shot.
28:22But that was
28:23the truth.
28:24Maybe.
28:25But the
28:26I fainted
28:27and how
28:28could anyone
28:29ever think
28:29I would do
28:30that?
28:30I love him
28:30so much.
28:31That is going
28:32to look
28:32terrible to
28:33the jury.
28:35But what
28:36did come
28:37through loud
28:37and clear
28:37was how
28:39much you
28:40love your
28:40children.
28:41Good.
28:43Yeah.
28:44Unfortunately,
28:44it's your
28:45biggest liability.
28:47How could
28:48loving my
28:48children be
28:49a bad thing?
28:50Because it's
28:50obvious you'd
28:51do anything
28:51for them.
28:52Of course
28:53I would.
28:54Including
28:54trying to
28:55kill someone.
28:59They're
28:59taking him
29:00to the
29:00station
29:00right now.
29:02He needs
29:02you there
29:02as soon
29:03as possible.
29:08Curtis's
29:08ex-cop
29:09is pretty
29:10sharp.
29:10He is
29:11not going
29:11to incriminate
29:12himself.
29:13I figured
29:14as much.
29:18Mr. Ashford,
29:19please,
29:20have a seat.
29:21you're here
29:27because there
29:27are some
29:28serious gaps
29:29in your story
29:30about the night
29:31Congressman
29:31Cain was shot
29:32and we're
29:34going to need
29:35you to fill
29:35them in.
29:35he's
29:39me.
29:41Déposez
29:41votre crayon,
29:42tournez-vous
29:43contre le mur,
29:44les mains
29:44derrière la tête.
29:53Bonsoir,
29:54madame.
29:54for maxi fantastic i'll get marco to set it all up okay well um i'll be in touch uh
30:17uh we'll talk um i'm just gonna you guys go ahead i'll stay here for a little bit
30:21okay okay and if deception happens to come up in conversation you'll i'll call you i will call
30:28you i'll call you too oh lucy's right we don't have any other choice something about this arrangement
30:39feels unsettling sketchy as georgie and james would say sus yes all of the above and i definitely don't
30:46love how close lucy's getting at sidwell lucy has always had a weakness for powerful men with deep
30:51pockets despite the fact that it hasn't always worked out well for her always has it ever no but
30:57knowing lucy that won't stop her
31:12i i am so sorry my colleagues could have been a little more collegial it never hurts to have diligent
31:21business partners that is true please tell me this really is the absolute best thing to do for
31:29deception well lucy i have many many endeavors in the works and deception success is a vital part of
31:40just as you are vital to me
31:51your sister's too young to understand but i think you should know
31:57mommy married uncle drew mommy got married
32:03did she look pretty
32:04scout was there and she said she looked really beautiful
32:12why didn't we go well because we have to wait for the judge to say it's okay for you to see mommy
32:18remember oh wait is the judge going to make me and amelia live at uncle drew's house no i don't think we
32:28don't like it there we want to be here with you hey it's okay all right you don't have to go there
32:35oh wiley this is your home all right you'll never have to leave
32:45now whether you choose to testify or not is entirely up to you
32:50but i trust suzanne's instincts and i suggest that you do too
32:55well my instincts have led you to a meticulously documented series of really bad decisions that
33:01have landed you okay willow acquitted willow do you want to be acquitted
33:09what are you doing you just walk in here you don't know how to knock
33:12alexis no one will have to testify what are you talking about why won't we need to testify
33:18because they're going to drop the charges against you i have nothing else to say
33:25without my attorney present that's fine with me but i just wanted to show you something first
33:31this was captured shortly before congressman kane's shooting and we can wait for your attorney
33:41but we will need to know what you and selena woo were discussing
33:45well i owe you man without you taking a look at the case uh curtis could have flown under the radar
33:53just glad my time away didn't make me too rusty not at all i'm just not going to be happy if
33:58curtis ends up being our guy yeah but if he is that's willow and michael off the hook yeah
34:06that's why we got to be 100 certain of curtis before we move forward with the case
34:15i want mr ashford booked for obstruction of justice and making a false statement
34:19i saw you blaze a trail in this direction your way back in you told curtis the truth
34:29i didn't get a chance to tell curtis anything curtis was arrested for shooting drew all i know is he
34:35was let out in handcuffs and nina was there but she didn't say what the charges were it has to be drew
34:43this is all my fault how could any of this possibly be your fault
34:47i'm the one who got myself blackmailed by drew curtis never would have got himself mixed up in this
34:53mess and drew would have never pushed curtis so far by going after and stella
34:59what does drew have on you i didn't want any of this to happen i was just trying to protect my dog
