00:00You're coming by. I could really use your help.
00:03Okay. Yeah, whatever you need. What can I do?
00:06Help me explain to Wiley that his mom married Drew.
00:11Willow, you don't need to testify, and more importantly, you shouldn't.
00:16But the jury needs to hear my side.
00:19Why?
00:20Why?
00:21Because they need to hear it from me, in my own voice, that I did not shoot the man I love.
00:26Gentlemen, we are a week out from Willow Tate's trial.
00:32And you choose now to bring in a brand new suspect?
00:36Well, considering she married the guy she supposedly shot, she may be going by Willow Kane now.
00:40That is the least of our problems.
00:42My concern is how we just handed reasonable doubt to the defense on a silver platter.
00:47What? Yeah, don't like it either, but we uncovered new information. We can't ignore it.
00:53No, we can't.
00:54So, your report said that the bartender at the Brown Dog Bar was able to recall seeing Curtis Ashford
01:03because the former deputy mayor joined him shortly after he arrived.
01:06Yeah, he also said that Curtis arrived at the bar later than he claimed to in his statement.
01:11Maybe late enough to leave the Savoy, stop by Drew, shoot Drew, and then meet Jordan at the bar.
01:17So, we're looking at the very real possibility that Curtis Ashford is the one who shot Drew Kay.
01:24So, it's a home office, and you shouldn't have much trouble changing it to a nursery.
01:29It's not like you have to rip out any appliances or change a roof line.
01:33Baby will be coming in six months, so you got it six months.
01:36I am so sorry.
01:39You guys didn't know.
01:40This really can't wait.
01:43It's about Portia and the baby.
01:51You wanted to see me?
01:53Close the door and have a seat.
01:54Okay.
01:57What's wrong?
01:59Is there a problem with the patients?
02:02No, no.
02:05I'm going to have to tell Curtis about us.
02:09Arnold Palmer for Madame.
02:14Badly.
02:15Thank you, Pascal, as always.
02:17De rien.
02:18Madame, are you sure I can't get you anything?
02:21No, thanks.
02:22We're fine.
02:23Well, thank you.
02:27You seem to be on good terms with Sidwell's butler.
02:30Well, Pascal is a delight.
02:32You know, he's so Francais, and he's also always very accommodating.
02:37Always.
02:40Good man.
02:41Always a pleasure.
02:42Let's go up here.
02:44Mr. Sidwell.
02:46Now, it's lovely to see you, but I was only the impression that this meeting was exclusively for deception from the shareholders.
02:52Well, I may not be a shareholder, but my daughter is.
02:55I'm here to make sure that her interests are represented.
02:59I have no objection.
03:00No objection.
03:01As long as it's okay with the ladies of deception.
03:04Oh, well, you know, I can't possibly object, because if Maxine wakes up when she does, I would be in deep trouble.
03:12So, I mean, of course, I don't have any objections at all.
03:15I don't have any objections.
03:16Felicia is more than welcome.
03:18I just want to make sure that deception is thriving by the time that Maxine wakes up.
03:23Which means getting it out of the hole it's been in since her illness.
03:28Very good.
03:29And in fact, it's that hole that's the reason why I called you over.
03:34I've come up with a guaranteed way to reinvigorate deception.
03:39It's been long enough.
03:45Answer me.
03:46What do you want from me?
04:02It's always worth a try.
04:03It's always worth a try.
04:33Jack wouldn't be playing the Charlotte card if he didn't need.
05:03This essential information from Valentin.
05:06And why does he need this essential information at the exact same time that two of Faison's children have resurfaced?
05:14If anyone could convincingly fake their own deaths and lull us all into a false sense of security, so we think for one moment that we are safe,
05:28If anyone could convincingly fake their own deaths and fake their own deaths and allow us all into a false sense of security, so we think for one moment that we are safe, it's safe to our face on.
05:45I'm always happy to help.
05:52And the kids, they've really come to rely on their aunt.
05:56And, you know, telling Marley that his mom married Drew, it's not going to be easy, but I feel like if you're there, it'll help soften the blow a little bit.
06:05Okay.
06:06Yeah.
06:06I'm always here for your kids and for you.
06:10Thanks.
06:10You've had a tough time lately, Michael, and Willow getting married on top of that, it's probably not been easy.
06:18You doing okay?
06:19Not exactly.
06:20I'm just hoping it doesn't show.
06:24Well, probably not to everyone else.
06:27To me?
06:28How could it not?
06:29I know, I had a bit of a meltdown during the custody hearing, but that's because I was completely blindsided by that judge's ruling.
06:39Everyone was.
06:41But I am not the same weak person who fell apart then because things didn't go her way.
06:46That may be.
06:46Alexis, I will not let that ADA get to me.
06:50I will make that jury believe me, and when I do, there is no way I'll be found guilty.
06:57Willow, it's just not that safe.
06:58But it could help.
07:00Right?
07:01It could help if your testimony is perfect, and the odds of that happening are highly...
07:06I need to beat these charges.
07:08If I don't, I will lose my children forever.
07:13And I cannot just sit back and do nothing and let things run their course.
07:17Willow, we've had several trial runs, and based on your past performance, the risks outweigh the benefits.
07:25Okay, well, I've been practicing, and I'm a lot better than when all of this started.
07:29According to whom?
07:30The bathroom mirror?
07:31The bathroom mirror?
07:32The bathroom mirror?
07:32Why don't we rehearse Willow's testimony again with an impartial jury?
07:38We'll see how it stands up after all that practice.
07:41Where would we get an impartial jury?
07:43You're looking at her.
07:44You're looking at her.
07:45You're looking at her.
07:47You're looking at her.
07:48You're looking at her.
07:49It's not a matter of fact.
07:50I'm looking at her.
07:51I'm looking at her.
07:52I'm looking at her.
07:53I'm looking at her.
07:54I'm looking at her.
07:55I'm looking at her.
07:56I'm looking at her.
07:57And because there's a good chance he's going to find out anyway.
07:58Not because I want to tell him, but because I might be compelled to, in a court of law.
08:04I don't understand.
08:05I don't understand.
08:06I had a motive to shoot Drew Cain.
08:11One that no one knew about, but someone I trusted.
08:16They tipped off the defense.
08:19And you think you might be arrested?
08:22Nothing has come of it yet.
08:24The trial isn't for a few days.
08:26But if the police ask me about my whereabouts the night of the shooting...
08:30You'll have to say you're with me all night.
08:47Isaiah, I'm just so sorry.
08:48No.
08:49I understand.
08:50What I don't get is where Curtis comes into this.
08:54Our marriage may be over, but Curtis has taken extraordinary steps to protect me from this investigation.
09:00It's the only reason we haven't got divorced yet.
09:03And I can't let him put himself on the line when I'm sitting on information that could exonerate me.
09:09I owe him that much.
09:11Yeah.
09:12That's the thing, Portia.
09:15You don't.
09:17I'm sorry for marching in like this.
09:20Pusha was adamant that we don't mention anything about the baby until after the first trimester.
09:26Well, due to the circumstances, it just sort of slipped out.
09:30What circumstances?
09:31Okay, I'll just tell you.
09:33Um...
09:35Alexis needed to argue that the PCPD rushed to charge Willow with Drew's shooting,
09:41that they had other suspects that they should have investigated.
09:46Nina.
09:47So I told someone who knows Alexis that...
09:52Portia might have had a motive, and that person told Alexis.
10:00What a lucky break for Willow.
10:05Unbelievable, Nina.
10:06And then when Portia found out, you know, she was not happy.
10:10Portia was your friend, okay?
10:12And you just sold her out like nothing.
10:14Well, my daughter is not nothing.
10:17Neither is Portia.
10:19And yet you stabbed us both in the back.
10:22You want to sell us your zinc kite at cost?
10:28Yes.
10:29Any of the minerals that you might be using for deception products,
10:33and you'll be being significantly less in price.
10:37That is true.
10:38I have crunched the numbers.
10:41Right.
10:42So the two of you have discussed this already?
10:45Well...
10:46Just tidbits.
10:47Tidbits.
10:48Here and there, really.
10:49Yeah, tidbits.
10:50Tidbits.
10:51But Jen's offer would cut our production costs significantly,
10:55very dramatically.
10:56And look, ladies, if we really want to get deception back in the black,
11:02this is the way to do it.
11:04You would be taking a huge hit on the port fees.
11:07Not even you can afford to be that generous.
11:09Although I just have the shipments delivered straight to Piers 5556.
11:13That way I won't eat any of the costs.
11:15But those were my Uncle Sonny's Piers.
11:17And I doubt he wants to give you a freebie.
11:20They were Uncle Sonny's Piers until I bought them.
11:27I wanted Wiley to enjoy his Thanksgiving.
11:30That's why I haven't told him what his mother did that day.
11:33Well, I hope you were able to enjoy your Thanksgiving at least a little, too.
11:43Yeah, it had its ups and downs.
11:50But there's another reason why I haven't told Wiley.
11:54I don't know how to explain to him what his mother did without him seeing how furious I am with her.
12:02With all due respect, you are Alexis's assistant, so that kind of incentivizes you just to back her up.
12:11Alexis has made it very clear that telling her what she wants to hear is not a part of my job description.
12:17I mean, she wants an objective perspective on everything from the clients we take on to the coffee we serve them.
12:23And it's what I give her.
12:26And it's what I'll give you.
12:28And we're just supposed to take your word on that.
12:31You can take mine.
12:32Because when it comes to juries, she's a bloodhound.
12:36She has sat in on numerous trials with Diane and me.
12:39She's crucial when it comes to jury selection, and she has great insight into how a testimony will land.
12:46And if nothing else, it gives you another chance to practice.
12:50All right, let's do it.
12:51And Alexis, don't go easy on me.
12:55Turner won't.
12:56So I can't.
13:00I understand your reasoning for telling Curtis.
13:03What I don't get is your timing.
13:05Have you been called as a witness?
13:08No, not yet.
13:09Okay, so Willow's attorney may not bring it up at trial.
13:12And the police may never find out about it.
13:14In which case, you'll just be provoking Curtis if you tell him.
13:19And potentially damaging your career.
13:21Sleeping with the co-chief of staff.
13:23Yeah.
13:25I'll definitely be looked at as unprofessional.
13:27Maybe I'll be forced at his hospital.
13:28Maybe not.
13:30Either way, it'll dog me.
13:34I know. This is why I'm telling you this right now.
13:36If it's between you telling the cops you were with me all night or you going down for something you didn't do.
13:46Tell the truth.
13:48No question.
13:50What about you?
13:51I'll handle the consequences.
13:52Whatever they are.
13:53I get that you are upset, Chris. I really do.
13:57But you have to understand that my daughter is going on trial for something that she didn't do.
14:06I already tried to give her an alibi.
14:09When you lied to the police.
14:10Yes, I screwed up, which led to Willow's arrest.
14:13So I had to try to make it right.
14:15I had to fix it.
14:16And I know that Drew was blackmailing.
14:18Portia was something which gave her a motive the police didn't know about.
14:22All I did was have a conversation in which Portia's name came out as a possible alternate suspect.
14:30You know, I can't control what that person did or didn't do with that information.
14:36The only reason you know about Drew's blackmail is because Portia trusted you enough to tell you.
14:42And you repaid her trust by stabbing her in the back.
14:45I didn't mean to hurt her.
14:49But Curtis, I have to protect my child.
14:52At the expense of another, by trying to keep Willow out of prison, you may have just ensured that my child will be born in one.
15:00So the inconsistencies in Curtis's story got us the subpoena for the Savoy security footage.
15:05And once we get it, we should be able to determine when Curtis left and if he had enough time to stop by Drew's house and shoot him before meeting Jordan at the bar.
15:13When can we expect this footage?
15:17Right now.
15:18Okay, there's Curtis entering. The timestamp tracks with this story.
15:33Can you scroll ahead to the time Curtis claimed he left?
15:39Wait, wait, wait, wait.
15:40There's somebody else going in.
15:43I thought Curtis said he was alone.
15:45He did?
15:46He'd freeze in.
15:47Is that who I think it is?
15:53Yeah.
15:55Yeah, it is.
15:56And that's not good for Curtis Ashford.
15:58Okay, where were you during the time of Congressman Cain's shooting?
16:10I was at the hospital.
16:13I got some upsetting news, so I took a walk, then I took a drive.
16:18Did you drive to the Congressman's house?
16:20No.
16:22Where did you go?
16:24Nowhere in particular.
16:26I was upset and driving around.
16:28I needed some time to think, to be alone, so I was just driving.
16:33And why were you upset?
16:35I had just learned that Judge Herron had died,
16:40which meant I'd have to wait even longer before I could see my children again.
16:44How did losing your children make you feel?
16:47I was devastated.
16:50I loved Wiley and Amelia more than anything.
16:53Did you blame the Congressman for you losing your kids?
16:57Of course not.
17:00Hadn't he been advising you in matters regarding your children?
17:04What do you mean?
17:06Did Congressman Cain invite you to bring Michael Corinthos' son Wiley to his inauguration in DC?
17:13Wiley is my son, too.
17:15Your adopted son?
17:18Yes.
17:20Not your biological child?
17:24I did not give birth to him, but he's still my son.
17:28Did the Congressman invite you to bring Wiley to DC?
17:32He did.
17:33Did you get your ex-husband's permission to take his, I'm sorry, your son across state lines?
17:40No, but that was my decision. Drew had nothing to do.
17:43I was in the burn unit at General Hospital. Did Congressman Cain advise you to withhold access from Michael's family?
17:53Yes.
17:54Did you take the Congressman's advice and keep Michael's parents from him?
17:58At first.
17:59And after your husband came back from Germany, you sued him for full custody, correct?
18:04Okay, Alexis, that's enough. We get it. The jury's gonna twist everything that Willow says to make her seem like she had reason to shoot.
18:11And the prosecution's not gonna have to work that hard to do that.
18:14And the prosecution's not gonna have to work that hard to do that.
18:19So, Selena and Curtis, they've actually associated in the past.
18:24She was running illegal card games out of the Savoy, so if he wanted to get a certain job done, she's someone he could have gone to.
18:32I mean, stand-up guy, but...
18:35Nobody's got the breaking point.
18:36Yeah.
18:39Okay.
18:40Okay, let's say Curtis brought in Selena Wu to arrange a hit on Drew Cain.
18:46How'd they get Edward Quartermain's revolver?
18:50Uh, Michael could have added Curtis over to the Quartermains, talking business.
18:53He could have taken it then.
18:55Or maybe his wife, Portia Robinson, she's co-chief over at GH.
18:58You know, she'd be with Monica Quartermain there, maybe she took the gun.
19:02So now it's a conspiracy?
19:04For people with plenty of access to firearms, why go to the trouble of getting a gun from the Quartermains and then planting it with Willow's things at Elizabeth Baldwin's?
19:13Well, those are answers we don't have yet.
19:14Well, we need them.
19:16We need to tie Curtis Ashford to Drew Cain's shooting or clear him of it before Willow Tate's trial begins.
19:22Yes, otherwise the defense will claim that we glossed over evidence against Curtis to plow ahead with our prosecution of Willow.
19:28And they'll motion to have the case against Willow dismissed.
19:31And I'll be shocked if the judge doesn't grant it.
19:33Okay.
19:34So how do you want to play?
19:36Sonny sold you his peers?
19:40Oh, there's a couple of deal points still to figure out.
19:43But yes, it's pretty much done.
19:44Christian?
19:48Sonny held onto those peers for decades.
19:50He narrowly won the right to keep them when Measure C was defeated.
19:54And then he up and sells them to the very man he's fighting with for control of them?
19:59Well, I was pretty much hoping Measure C would pass so I could buy the peers at a competitive rate.
20:05But since Measure C failed, and Sonny was not forced to give up his peers, I had to up my offer substantially.
20:15Ah, you must have floated a pretty big price.
20:18Oh, everyone has their price, Ms. Quatermain. Even Sonny Carinthos.
20:26Now, I just want to be clear. This isn't about my relationship with Willow. It's about her relationship with our kids.
20:32Okay. Michael, Willow does love her kids.
20:37She certainly thinks she does.
20:40Okay, so what's the plan after you tell Wiley?
20:45I don't know. I don't know, but whatever happens, I'm not letting my kids be in the same room, let alone the same house as Drew.
20:52Well, I think Willow's probably going to have a lot to say about them.
20:54I know she will.
20:56She can't wait for them all to be under the same roof, which in my mind, and hopefully the judges, disqualifies her as a mother.
21:05You and the Congressman recently married, and this was your second attempt at tying the knot, right?
21:14It was.
21:15So what happened the first time?
21:19I didn't go through with it.
21:20And why is that?
21:22I learned Drew had been untruthful about certain things.
21:27Such as?
21:28His affair with my mother.
21:30So, he was sleeping with your mother while he was courting you?
21:35He was.
21:37And how did that make you feel?
21:39I was upset.
21:42But after I had some time to calm down and think about things, I reconsidered.
21:48I see.
21:51Let's go back to the night of the shooting.
21:54After your drive, where did you go?
21:57Back to the hospital.
21:59To finish my shift.
22:01And that's when I found out Drew had been shot.
22:04It was so horrible, I fainted.
22:07How could anyone think I would shoot Drew?
22:09Drew.
22:10He's my husband.
22:11I love him.
22:12I need him.
22:14I don't have to love Drew.
22:16I love my kids.
22:18And I will do whatever I need to, to have Wiley and Amelia back with me.
22:24Willow, that was perfect.
22:26That was perfect.
22:28Alexis, there's no way a jury wouldn't believe that.
22:32Except, Willow, you can't volunteer any of that.
22:40As far as I know, Alexis hasn't said anything to anybody about Portia having a motive.
22:46I mean, the PCPD hasn't even questioned Portia.
22:50Let alone charged her.
22:52Oh, you're jumping to a conclusion that might never happen.
22:58Unless you think that Portia actually shot Drew.
23:03Drew?
23:04In which case, what, you just stood by and let my daughter take the fall?
23:09Willow had as much reason as anyone to want Drew gone.
23:13In no small part, thanks to you.
23:16How can I be sure Willow didn't pull that trigger?
23:19I'm sure.
23:20Like you're sure about every horrible decision you've ever made?
23:23Like using Portia as your daughter's defense strategy?
23:27Curtis, I know that my daughter is innocent.
23:30It's a pity that you can't say the same thing about your wife.
23:35I'm in.
23:39Jay, what brings you by?
23:42Nina, can you step out the hall, please?
23:47Yeah, of course.
23:49Is there something I can help you with, detective?
24:00I'm afraid so.
24:02Look at Sashford, you're under arrest.
24:06So someone was hiding in the car,
24:09and they used chloroform to put me out?
24:19Hey!
24:37Hey!
24:40And then I was blindfolded and drugged again.
24:45I woke up in transit.
24:48I was in the truck or bus.
24:56And then we were on water.
24:59We were definitely on water.
25:03Okay.
25:17Where am I?
25:23Well, your proposal is tempting, but we need to know the rest of your terms.
25:26What makes you think there are any?
25:29Because you don't stand to gain anything.
25:32I am a major stakeholder in deception.
25:34Your success is my success.
25:37Yes, you know what they say.
25:39A rising tide lifts all boats.
25:42And when it's our boat, it also lifts eyes, cheeks, and chins.
25:46As they say.
25:47But you know what?
25:48I'm sorry, you're right.
25:49I do have one non-negotiable stipulation.
25:53Which is?
25:55All materials imported for deception must be under my exclusive management.
26:00So you expect us to let you just slap deception's name on all imports you're bringing in without our supervision?
26:07Oh yes.
26:08It's to stop prices spiraling out of control.
26:11I would never have insisted otherwise.
26:13And we're just supposed to take your word on that?
26:15No, I'm sorry, that doesn't work for me.
26:17And it certainly won't work for my grandmother.
26:19Everything you're feeling right now, Michael, all this anger and resentment, it's completely valid.
26:25But you can't show that to your kids.
26:27I know, but how am I supposed to explain to Wiley that his mommy married the man that destroyed his family?
26:32You don't.
26:34At least not in those words.
26:36We know firsthand how painful it is to be in the middle of your parents' battleground.
26:42And that is the worst place for a child to be.
26:45And you, you love Wiley and Amelia far too much to put them there.
26:50So here's what we're going to do.
26:53You are simply going to tell Wiley the truth.
27:00It's just that easy.
27:01No, it's not that easy.
27:02It's just that it's the first step in the minefield.
27:05And when, when Wiley asks you when the next time he's going to be able to see his mother is, you tell him the truth.
27:13You say that you don't know yet.
27:14And that that decision is up to a judge.
27:18Okay.
27:19Okay, I can do that.
27:20It's the truth.
27:21Good.
27:22Okay.
27:23This is the hardest part.
27:26You cannot pass any judgment on Willow and what she's done.
27:32What you can do, though, is you can be there for your son.
27:36And you can reassure him that you're not going anywhere.
27:40What are you talking about, Alexis?
27:42Everything that Willow just said was honest.
27:44It was, it was perfect.
27:46It looked and sounded like she was trying to manipulate the jury and they're going to see right through it.
27:51Do I need to do something differently?
27:53I will. Let's go again.
27:54Before we do that, let's hear from our impartial jury. Suzanne, what do you think?
28:03Guilty.
28:10You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you.
28:15In the court of law, you have the right to an attorney.
28:17What's going on?
28:21Come on, you understand these rights as I've explained them to you.
28:27I do.
28:29Curtis, what's happening?
28:34I call my lawyer.
28:35I call my lawyer.
28:52Macaron, anyone? Freshly made by our chef.
28:55Thank you, Pascal, and thanks, chef, but maybe later.
28:58Of course, monsieur.
29:00Lucy, explain to your colleagues that with this new arrangement, I'm more than confident that deception can reach even loftier heights than before Maxie's tragic incident.
29:13If only she were here to offer her thoughts on this new arrangement.
29:17Indeed. Indeed.
29:19But what's important is that we prevent the company from going bankrupt.
29:24And with my proposal, I can guarantee that.
29:30We discussed this.
29:32Oh, we did?
29:33Yes.
29:34Broadly, nothing really specific, though.
29:37Just enough to crunch the numbers.
29:38Okay, look, um, Brooklyn, you and your grandmother, Tracy, they're gonna, you're both just fine.
29:46You're gonna be fine if deception.
29:48Tanks, you won't struggle at all.
29:50And I have my real estate company, my whole career to fall back on.
29:55But the one person who will suffer the most if deception collapses is...
30:01Maxie.
30:03So come on.
30:05Deception is Maxie's whole livelihood.
30:08We have to do everything in our power to make sure that deception stays afloat.
30:13And I know...
30:15You don't have to believe him and you don't have to trust him, but trust me.
30:19I believe that this is the only way we're going to save deception.
30:23So...
30:25What do you think?
30:26I mean...
30:28Can we do this?
30:30For Maxie?
30:32So much for impartiality.
30:37This is what trial prep looks like.
30:40Suzanne, how did you come to your conclusion?
30:43She came off as defensive.
30:46Sorry.
30:48You reacted sharply when Alexis brought up the potential motive to shoot Drew, which were men...
30:54Who wouldn't react sharply if they're being accused...
30:56Drew, please.
30:58What else?
30:59You volunteered too much.
31:02Like you had to justify everything you were saying.
31:05Can you give me an example?
31:07When Alexis asked you where you went after your drive, you went on and on, talking about how you found out the congressman had been shot.
31:16But that was the truth.
31:18Maybe.
31:19But the, I fainted, and how could anyone ever think I would do that?
31:24I love him so much.
31:26That is going to look terrible to the jury.
31:28But what did come through loud and clear was how much you love your children.
31:36Good.
31:38Yeah.
31:39Unfortunately, it's your biggest liability.
31:43How could loving my children be a bad thing?
31:46Because it's obvious you'd do anything for them.
31:49Of course I would.
31:51Including trying to kill someone.
31:52They're taking him to the station right now.
31:58He needs you there as soon as possible.
32:05Curtis' ex-cop is pretty sharp.
32:08He is not going to incriminate himself.
32:11Figure as much.
32:12Mr. Ashford, please, have a seat.
32:25You're here because there are some serious gaps in your story about the night Congressman Cain was shot.
32:33And we're going to need you to fill them in.
32:42Déposez votre crayon.
32:44Tournez-vous contre le mur, les mains derrière la tête.
32:56Bonsoir, madame.
32:58Pour vous remercier d'être une invitée moderne,
33:01je vous ai apporté quelque chose qui devrait rendre votre séjour encore plus agréable.
33:12Pour Maxi.
33:15Fantastique.
33:16Je vais prendre Marco.
33:17Just set it all up.
33:19Ok.
33:20Je vais être en touch.
33:21Je vais parler.
33:23Je vais vous laisser.
33:25Je vais rester ici pour un moment.
33:27Ok.
33:28Ok.
33:29Et si la déception arrive dans une conversation, vous allez...
33:32Je vais vous dire.
33:33Je vais vous dire.
33:34Je vais vous dire.
33:35Je vais vous dire.
33:36Ah, Lucie's right.
33:42We don't have any other choice.
33:43Something about this arrangement feels...
33:46Unsettling?
33:47Sketchy?
33:48As Georgie and James would say, sus?
33:50Yes, all of the above.
33:51And I definitely don't love how close Lucie's getting to Sidwell.
33:55Lucie has always had a weakness for powerful men with deep pockets,
33:59despite the fact that it hasn't always worked out well for her.
34:02Always? Has it ever?
34:03No.
34:04But knowing Lucie, that won't stop her.
34:20I...
34:21I am so sorry.
34:22My colleagues could have been a little more collegial.
34:27It never hurts to have diligent business partners.
34:31That is true.
34:34Please tell me this really is the absolute best thing to do for deception.
34:41Oh, Lucie.
34:43I have many, many endeavors in the works.
34:47And deception's success is a vital part of them.
34:52Just as you are vital to me.
34:56Your sister's too young to understand, but I think you should know.
35:08Mommy married Uncle Drew.
35:11Mommy got married?
35:14Did...
35:16Did she look pretty?
35:17Scout was there, and she said she looked really beautiful.
35:25Why didn't we go?
35:27Well, because we have to wait for the judge to say it's okay for you to see Mommy, remember?
35:32Oh.
35:34Wait.
35:35Is the judge going to make me and Amelia live at Uncle Drew's house?
35:41No, I don't think...
35:42We don't like it there.
35:44We want to be here with you.
35:46Hey, it's okay.
35:48All right, you don't have to go there.
35:50But, Wally, this is your home.
35:53All right, you'll never have to leave.
35:54Now, whether you choose to testify or not is entirely up to you.
36:05But I trust Suzanne's instincts, and I suggest that you do, too.
36:10Well, my instincts...
36:12Have led you to a meticulously documented series of really bad decisions that have landed you.
36:19Okay, Alexis.
36:20What?
36:21Willow acquitted.
36:23Willow, do you want to be acquitted?
36:26What are you doing?
36:28Just walk in here, you don't know how to knock?
36:30Alexis, no one will have to testify.
36:33What are you talking about?
36:35Why won't we need to testify?
36:37Because they're going to drop the charges against you.
36:40I have nothing else to say without my attorney present.
36:46That's fine with me.
36:47But I just wanted to show you something first.
36:51This was captured shortly before Congressman Cain's shooting.
36:58And we can wait for your attorney.
37:01But we will need to know what you and Selina Wu were discussing.
37:08Well, I owe you, man.
37:09Without you taking a look at the case, Curtis could have flown under the radar.
37:12Just glad my time away didn't make me too rusty.
37:15Not at all.
37:17I'm just not going to be happy if Curtis ends up being our guy.
37:20Yeah, but if he is, that's Willow and Michael off the hook.
37:26Yeah.
37:28That's why we got to be 100% certain of Curtis before we move forward with the case.
37:31I'm all Mr. Ashford booked for obstruction of justice and making a false statement.
37:41I saw you blazed a trail in this direction on your way back in.
37:42You told Curtis the truth.
37:43I didn't get a chance to tell Curtis anything.
37:44Curtis was arrested.
37:45For shooting Drew?
37:46All I know is he was let out in handcuffs.
37:47And Nina was there, but she didn't say what the charges were.
37:48It has to be Drew.
37:49This is all my fault.
37:50How could any of this possibly be your fault?
37:51I'm the one who got myself blackmailed by Drew.
37:52Curtis never would have got himself mixed up in this mess.
37:53And Drew would have never pushed Curtis so far.
37:54How could the truth have been introverted by Drew?
37:58I was just about three minutes.
37:59You're not going to be in the way around.
38:00You're one of the two of them.
38:01How could you do this?
38:02That is, what do you think?
38:03That's definitely true.
38:04This is all my fault.
38:07How could any of this possibly be your fault?
38:12I'm the one who got myself blackmailed by Drew.
38:15Curtis never would have got himself mixed up in this mess.
38:19And Drew would have never pushed Curtis so far.
38:21Curtis so far by going after
38:23Aunt Stella.
38:25What does Drew have on you?
38:27I didn't want any of this to happen.
38:29I was just trying to protect my dog.
38:35On the next General Hospital.
38:37I'm here with you. Everything's gonna be okay.
38:39I'm beginning to think that I don't know him as well
38:41as I thought. Spending time with you
38:43isn't about my hour, but...
38:44Curtis being charged changes everything.
38:47I think we can mitigate this,
38:49but I need your help.
38:51I need your help.
