00:00Coming by, I could use your help.
00:03Okay, yeah, whatever you need, what can I do?
00:07Help 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, and 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.
00:43My concern is how we just handed reasonable doubt to the defense on a silver platter.
00:47What?
00:48Yeah, don't like it either, but we uncovered new information.
00:51We 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.
01:07Yeah, he also said that Curtis arrived at the bar later than he claimed to in his statement.
01:12Maybe 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 K.
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.
01:39No, this 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.
01:55Okay.
01:57What's wrong?
01:59Is there a problem with the patient?
02:01No, no.
02:06I'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.
02:27Seem 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.
02:38Always.
02:40Glenn.
02:41What?
02:41Always a pleasure.
02:43A little Scorpio.
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.
02:53Well, I may not be a shareholder, but my daughter is.
02:55I'm here to make sure that her interests are represented.
02:58I have no objection, no objection, as long as it's okay with the ladies of deception.
03:04Oh, well, you know, I can't possibly object, because if Maxie wakes up when she does, I would be in deep trouble.
03:12So, I mean, of course, I don't have any objections, so I don't have any objections.
03:17Felicia is more than welcome.
03:18I just want to make sure that deception is thriving by the time that Maxie wakes up, which 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.
03:33So, I've come up with a guaranteed way to reinvigorate deception.
03:42It's been long enough!
03:45Answer me!
03:46What do you want from me?
03:47That's always worth a try.
04:04Okay.
04:04Answer me!
04:34Jack wouldn't be playing the Charlotte card
05:02if he didn't need this essential information from Valentin.
05:06And why does he need this essential information
05:09at the exact same time
05:12that two of Faison's children have resurfaced?
05:15If anyone could convincingly fake their own deaths
05:35and lull us all into a false sense of security
05:38so we think for one moment that we are safe
05:42is safe to our face on.
05:51I'm always happy to help.
05:53And the kids, they've really come to rely on their aunt.
05:57And, you know, telling Marley that his mom married Drew,
05:59it's not going to be easy,
06:01but I feel like if you're there,
06:02it'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.
06:12You've had a tough time lately, Michael,
06:14and Willow getting married on top of that
06:16has probably not been easy.
06:18You doing okay?
06:20Not exactly.
06:20I'm just hoping it doesn't show.
06:24Well, probably not to everyone else.
06:27But to me?
06:29How could it not?
06:29I know.
06:31I had a bit of a meltdown during the custody hearing,
06:34but that's because I was completely blindsided
06:37by that judge's ruling.
06:39Everyone was.
06:41But I am not the same weak person
06:43who fell apart then because things didn't go her way.
06:46That may be.
06:47Alexis,
06:48I will not let that ADA get to me.
06:51I will make that jury believe me.
06:53And when I do,
06:55there is no way I'll be found guilty.
06:57Well, it's just not that safe.
06:58But it could help.
07:00Right?
07:01It could help if your testimony is perfect
07:04and the odds of that happening are highly...
07:06I need to beat these charges.
07:08If I don't,
07:10I will lose my children forever.
07:13And I cannot just sit back and do nothing
07:15and let things run their course.
07:17Willow,
07:17we've had several trial runs
07:20and based on your past performance,
07:23the risks outweigh the benefits.
07:25Okay.
07:26Well, I've been practicing
07:27and I'm a lot better than when all of this started.
07:29According to whom?
07:31The bathroom mayor?
07:34Why don't we rehearse Willow's testimony again
07:37with an impartial jury?
07:38We'll see how it stands up after all that practice.
07:41Where would we get an impartial jury?
07:44You're looking at her.
07:49Portia, it's up to you, of course.
07:51But why tell Curtis now?
07:53And because there's a good chance
07:55he's going to find out anyway.
07:57Not because I want to tell him,
08:00but because I might be compelled to
08:02in a court of law.
08:05I don't understand.
08:06I had a motive to shoot Drew Cain.
08:11One that no one knew about,
08:14but someone I trusted,
08:17they tipped off the defense.
08:20And you think you might be arrested?
08:23Nothing has come of it yet.
08:24The trial isn't for a few days.
08:26But if the police ask me
08:28about my whereabouts
08:29the night of the shooting...
08:31You'll have to say
08:32you're with me all night.
08:44Isaiah, I'm just so sorry.
08:49No, I understand.
08:52What I don't get
08:53is where Curtis comes into this.
08:54Our marriage may be over,
08:56but Curtis has taken
08:57extraordinary steps
08:59to protect me
08:59from this investigation.
09:01It's the only reason
09:02we haven't got divorced yet.
09:04And I can't let him
09:06put himself on the line
09:07when I'm sitting on information
09:08that could exonerate me.
09:10I owe him that much.
09:12Yeah, that's the thing, Portia.
09:16You don't.
09:18I'm sorry for barging in like this.
09:21Portia was adamant
09:22that we don't mention
09:24anything about the baby
09:25until after the first trimester.
09:27Well, due to the circumstances,
09:29it just sort of slipped out.
09:31What circumstances?
09:32Okay, I'll just tell you.
09:36Alexis needed to argue
09:37that the PCPD
09:39rushed to charge Willow
09:40withdrew shooting,
09:42that they had other suspects
09:44that they should have investigated.
09:46Nina.
09:48So I told someone
09:50who knows Alexis
09:51that Portia
09:53might have had
09:55a motive
09:56and
09:57that person
09:59told Alexis.
10:01What a lucky break
10:02for Willow.
10:05Unbelievable, Nina.
10:07Then when Portia
10:08found out,
10:09you know,
10:09she was not happy.
10:11Portia was your friend,
10:12okay?
10:13And you just sold her out
10:14like nothing.
10:15Well,
10:16my daughter is not
10:17nothing.
10:19Neither is Portia.
10:21And yet you stabbed us
10:22both in the back.
10:26You want to sell us
10:27yours in kite
10:28at cost?
10:29Yes.
10:30Any of the minerals
10:31that you might be using
10:33for deception products
10:34and you'll be being
10:35significantly less
10:37in price.
10:38That is true.
10:39I have crunched
10:40the numbers.
10:43Right.
10:43So the two of you
10:44have discussed
10:45this already?
10:46Well.
10:47Just tidbits.
10:48Tidbits.
10:48Here and there,
10:49really.
10:49Yeah, tidbits.
10:50Tidbits.
10:51But Jen's offer
10:52would cut our
10:53production costs
10:54significantly,
10:55very dramatically.
10:57And look,
10:58ladies,
10:59if we really want
11:00to get deception
11:01back in the black,
11:02this is the way
11:03to do it.
11:04You would be taking
11:05a huge hit
11:06on the Port feeds
11:07so not even you
11:08can afford
11:08to be that generous.
11:09Although I just
11:10have the shipments
11:11delivered straight
11:11to Piers 5556.
11:13That way I won't
11:14eat any of the costs.
11:16Those are my
11:16Uncle Sonny's Piers
11:17and I doubt
11:18he wants to give
11:19you a freebie.
11:20They were
11:21Uncle Sonny's Piers
11:22until I bought them.
11:27I wanted Wiley
11:29to enjoy his Thanksgiving.
11:30That's why I haven't
11:31told him what his
11:31mother did that day.
11:34Well, I hope
11:34you were able
11:35to enjoy your Thanksgiving
11:36at least a little
11:37too.
11:47Yeah.
11:48It had its ups
11:49and downs.
11:50But there's another
11:51reason why I haven't
11:52told Wiley.
11:54I don't know
11:56how to explain
11:57to him
11:57what his mother did
11:59without him seeing
12:01how furious
12:01I am with her.
12:02With all due respect,
12:04you are
12:05Alexis' assistant
12:06so that kind of
12:08incentivizes you
12:09just to back her up.
12:12Alexis has made
12:13it very clear
12:13that telling her
12:14what she wants to hear
12:15is not a part
12:17of my job description.
12:18I mean,
12:19she wants an objective
12:19perspective on everything
12:21from the clients
12:22we take on
12:22to the coffee
12:23we serve them.
12:24And it's what I give
12:25her.
12:27And it's what I'll
12:27give you.
12:29And we're just
12:29supposed to take
12:30your word on that.
12:31You can take mine.
12:33Because when it comes
12:33to juries,
12:34she's a bloodhound.
12:36She has sat in
12:37on numerous trials
12:38with Diane and me.
12:40She's crucial
12:40when it comes
12:41to jury selection
12:42and she has
12:43great insight
12:44into how
12:45a testimony will end.
12:46And if nothing else,
12:47it gives you
12:48another chance
12:49to practice.
12:50All right,
12:51let's do it.
12:52And Alexis,
12:53don't go easy on me.
12:55Turner won't.
12:57So I can't.
13:00I understand
13:01your reasoning
13:02for telling Curtis.
13:03What I don't get
13:04is your timing
13:05have you been
13:06called as a witness?
13:08No, not yet.
13:09Okay, so
13:10Willow's attorney
13:11may not bring it
13:11up at trial
13:12and the police
13:13may never find out
13:14about it,
13:15in which case
13:15you'll just be
13:17provoking Curtis
13:18if you tell him.
13:19And potentially
13:20damaging your career.
13:22Sleeping with
13:22the co-chief of staff.
13:24Yeah.
13:25I'll definitely
13:26be looked at
13:27as unprofessional.
13:27Maybe I'll be
13:28forced out of his
13:28hospital,
13:29maybe not.
13:30Either way,
13:32it'll dog me.
13:34I know.
13:35this is why
13:35I'm telling you
13:36this right now.
13:37If it's between
13:39you telling the cops
13:41you were with me
13:41all night
13:42or
13:42you going down
13:44for something
13:44you didn't do,
13:46tell the truth.
13:48No question.
13:50But what about you?
13:52I'll handle
13:52the consequences.
13:55Whatever they are.
13:56I get that you
13:58are upset,
13:59Chris.
13:59I really do.
14:00But you have to
14:01understand that
14:02my daughter
14:02is going
14:03on trial
14:04for something
14:05that she didn't do.
14:06I already tried
14:07to give her
14:08an alibi.
14:09When you lied
14:10to the police.
14:11Yes,
14:11I screwed up,
14:12which led
14:12to Willow's arrest.
14:13So I had to
14:14try to make it
14:15right.
14:15I had to fix it.
14:17And I know
14:17that Drew
14:18was blackmailing
14:19Portia with something
14:20which gave her
14:20a motive
14:21the police
14:21didn't know about.
14:22all I did
14:23was have
14:24a conversation
14:25in which
14:26Portia's name
14:27came out
14:28as a possible
14:29alternate suspect.
14:30You know,
14:31I can't control
14:32what that person
14:34did or didn't do
14:35with that information.
14:36The only reason
14:37you know
14:38about Drew's blackmail
14:39is because
14:40Portia trusted you
14:41enough to tell you.
14:42And you repaid
14:43her trust
14:44by stabbing her
14:45in the back.
14:45I didn't mean
14:46to hurt her.
14:49But Curtis,
14:50I have to
14:50protect my child.
14:52at the expense
14:53of another.
14:55By trying
14:55to keep Willow
14:56out of prison
14:56you may have
14:57just ensured
14:58that my child
14:58will be born in one.
15:01So the inconsistencies
15:02in Curtis' story
15:03got us a subpoena
15:04for the Savoy
15:04security footage.
15:06Once we get it
15:06we should be able
15:07to determine
15:07when Curtis left
15:08and if he had
15:09enough time
15:09to stop by Drew's house
15:10and shoot him
15:11before meeting
15:11Jordan at the bar.
15:13When can we
15:14expect this footage?
15:17Right now.
15:22Okay.
15:29There's Curtis
15:30entering.
15:30The
15:31time stamp
15:32tracks for this story.
15:34Can you
15:35scroll ahead
15:35to the time
15:36Curtis claimed
15:36he left?
15:39Wait, wait, wait, wait.
15:41Somebody else
15:42going in.
15:43I thought Curtis
15:44said he was alone.
15:45He did.
15:46Let me freeze that.
15:51Is that who
15:52I think it is?
15:54Yeah.
15:56Yeah, it is.
15:57And that's not good
15:57for Curtis Ashford.
16:05Okay.
16:06Where were you
16:07during the time
16:08of Congressman Kane's
16:10shooting?
16:11I was at the hospital.
16:13I got some upsetting news
16:15so I took a walk
16:16then I took a drive.
16:18Did you drive
16:19to the Congressman's
16:20house?
16:21No.
16:22Where'd you go?
16:25Nowhere in particular.
16:26I was upset
16:27and driving around.
16:28I needed
16:29some time to think
16:30to be alone
16:31so
16:31I was just driving.
16:34And why were you
16:34upset?
16:35I had just learned
16:37that
16:37Judge Heron
16:38had died
16:39which meant
16:41I'd have to wait
16:41even longer
16:42before I could
16:42see my children again.
16:45How did losing
16:45your children
16:46make you feel?
16:48I was
16:48devastated.
16:50I loved Wiley
16:51and Amelia
16:52more than anything.
16:53Did you blame
16:54the Congressman
16:55for you losing
16:56your kids?
16:58Of course not.
17:00Hadn't he been
17:01advising you
17:02in matters
17:02regarding your children?
17:04What do you mean?
17:06Did Congressman Kane
17:07invite you
17:09to bring
17:09Michael Carinthos'
17:10son Wiley
17:11to his inauguration?
17:13Wiley is my son too.
17:14your adopted son?
17:19Yes.
17:20Not your
17:21biological child?
17:24I did not
17:25give birth
17:25to him
17:26but he's
17:27still my son.
17:29Did the
17:30Congressman
17:30invite you
17:31to bring
17:31Wiley
17:31to D.C.?
17:33He did.
17:34Did you get
17:35your ex-husband's
17:36permission
17:36to take his
17:37I'm sorry
17:38your son
17:39across state lines?
17:41No
17:41but that
17:42was my
17:42decision.
17:43Drew
17:43had nothing
17:44to do
17:44I was in
17:46the burn
17:47unit
17:47at General
17:48Hospital.
17:48Did Congressman
17:49Kane advise you
17:50to withhold
17:50access from
17:51Michael's family?
17:53Yes.
17:55Did you take
17:56the Congressman's
17:57advice and keep
17:57Michael's parents
17:58from him?
17:59At first.
18:00And after
18:00your husband
18:01came back
18:02from Germany
18:03you sued him
18:04for full custody
18:04correct?
18:05Okay
18:06Alexis
18:06that's enough
18:07we get it
18:07the jury's
18:08going to
18:08twist everything
18:09that Willow says
18:09to make her
18:10seem like
18:11she had
18:12reason to
18:12shoot.
18:13And the
18:13prosecution's
18:14not going
18:14to have to
18:14work that
18:15hard to do
18:15that.
18:15So Selena
18:20and Curtis
18:21they've
18:21actually
18:22associated
18:23in the
18:23past.
18:24She was
18:25running
18:25illegal card
18:26games out
18:26of the
18:26Savoy
18:27so if
18:28he wanted
18:28to get
18:29a certain
18:29job done
18:30she's
18:31someone
18:31he could
18:31have
18:31gone
18:32to.
18:33I mean
18:33stand up
18:34guy
18:34but
18:34nobody's
18:36got the
18:36breaking
18:36point.
18:37Yeah.
18:37Okay
18:40okay
18:41let's say
18:42Curtis
18:43brought in
18:43Selena Wu
18:44to arrange
18:45a hit
18:45on Drew
18:46Cain.
18:48How'd
18:48they get
18:49Edward
18:49Quartermain's
18:49revolver?
18:50Michael
18:51could have
18:51had Curtis
18:51over to
18:52the
18:52Quartermains
18:52talking
18:53business
18:53he could
18:54have
18:54taken
18:54it
18:54then
18:54or
18:55maybe
18:55his
18:55wife
18:56Portia
18:56Robinson
18:56she's
18:57co-chief
18:57over at
18:57GH
18:58you know
18:59she'd
18:59meet
19:00with
19:00Monica
19:00Quartermain
19:01there
19:01maybe
19:01she took
19:02the gun
19:02so now
19:03it's
19:03a conspiracy
19:04for people
19:05with plenty
19:06of access
19:06to firearms
19:07why go
19:07to the
19:08trouble
19:08of
19:08getting
19:09a gun
19:09from
19:09the
19:10Quartermains
19:10and then
19:11planting
19:11it
19:11with
19:11Willow's

24:03arrest
24:04if
24:07someone
24:07was
24:08hiding

24:08the
24:08car
24:09and
24:10they
24:10used
24:10chloroform
24:11to
24:11put
24:11me
24:12out
24:12hey
24:24then I
24:41was
24:41blindfolded
24:43and
24:43dropped
24:44again
24:44I woke
24:46up in
24:46transit
24:47truck
24:52or bus
24:53and
24:56then
24:57we
24:57were
24:57on
24:57water
24:58we
25:00were
25:00definitely
25:00on
25:01water
25:01okay
25:04where am I
25:22well your
25:24proposal is
25:25tempting but we need to know the rest of your terms
25:27in which you think there are any
25:30because you don't stand to gain anything
25:32I am a major stakeholder in deception your success is my success
25:37yes you know what they say a rising tide lifts all boats and when it's our boat it also lifts eyes cheeks and chins
25:46as they say
25:47but you know what I'm sorry you're right I do have one non-negotiable stipulation
25:53which is
25:54all
25:55materials 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 it's to stop prices spiraling out of control I 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 and 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
26:31you don't
26:33at least not in those words
26:35we 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 and you
26:45you love Wiley and Amelia far too much to put them there
26:50so here's what we're gonna do
26:53you are simply going to tell Wiley the truth
26:58it's just that easy
27:01no it's not that easy it's just that it's the first step in the minefield and when
27:07when Wiley asks you when the next time he's gonna be able to see his mother is
27:11you tell him the truth
27:13you say that you don't know yet and that that decision is up to a judge
27:17okay okay I can do that it's the truth
27:21good okay this is the hardest part
27:24you cannot pass any judgment on Willow and what she's done
27:30what you can do though is you can be there for your son
27:36and you can reassure him that you're not going anywhere
27:39what are you talking about Alexis everything that Willow just said was honest it was
27:45it was perfect it looked and sounded like she was trying to manipulate the jury and
27:50they're going to see right through it
27:51do I need to do something differently I will let's go again
27:55before we do that let's hear from our impartial jury Suzanne what do you think
28:00guilty
28:04you 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
28:18what's going on
28:22come on do you understand these rights as I've explained them to you
28:28I do
28:31Curtis what's happening
28:34call my lawyer
28:36macarons anyone freshly made by our chef
28:55thank you Pascal and thanks chef but maybe maybe later
28:58of course monsieur Lucy explain to your colleagues that with this new
29:04arrangement I'm more than confident that deception can reach even loftier
29:09heights than before Maxi's tragic incident
29:12if only she were here to offer her thoughts on this new arrangement
29:16indeed indeed but what's important is that we prevent the company from going
29:23bankrupt and and with my proposal I can guarantee that we discussed this oh we did broadly nothing
29:34really specific though just enough to crunch the numbers okay look um Brooklyn you and your
29:42grandmother Tracy they're gonna you're both just fine you're gonna be fine if deception tanks you won't
29:49struggle at all and I have my real estate company my whole career to fall back on but the one
29:55person who will suffer the most if deception collapses is Maxi is Maxi so come on
30:04deception is Maxi's whole livelihood we have to do everything in our power to make sure that deception stays afloat and I know you don't have to believe him and you don't have to trust him but trust me
30:18trust me I believe that this is the only way we're going to save dissension so what do you think I mean can we do this for Maxi
30:33so much for impartiality this is what trial prep looks like Suzanne how did you come to your conclusion she came off as defensive sorry
30:47you reacted sharply when Alexis brought up the potential motive to shoot Drew which were meant
30:54who wouldn't react sharply if they're being accused
30:56what else
30:59you volunteered too much like 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
31:11you 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
31:22how could anyone ever think I would do that I love him so much
31:26that is going to look terrible to the jury
31:29but what did come through loud and clear
31:33was
31:34how much you love your children
31:36good
31:38yeah unfortunately it's your biggest liability
31:42how could loving my children be a bad thing
31:46because it's obvious you'd do anything for them
31:49of course I would
31:50including trying to kill someone
31:53they're taking him to the station right now
31:58he needs you there as soon as possible
32:01Curtis's ex-cop
32:07he's pretty sharp
32:08he is not going to incriminate himself
32:11I figure as much
32:13Mr. Ashford
32:18please
32:19have a seat
32:20you're here because there are some
32:27serious gaps in your story about the night
32:31congressman came
32:31was shot
32:32and we're going to need you to fill them in
32:36Déposez votre crayon
32:44tournez-vous contre le mur
32:46les mains derrière la tête
32:47bonsoir madame
32:57pour vous remercier d'être une invitée moderne
33:01je vous ai apporté quelque chose
33:03qui devrait rendre votre séjour
33:05encore plus écriable
33:07for Maxi
33:15fantastic
33:16I'll get Marco
33:18to set it all up
33:19okay well
33:20I'll be in touch
33:21we'll talk
33:23I'm just gonna
33:24you guys go ahead
33:25I'll stay here for a little bit
33:26okay
33:27okay and if deception happens to come up in conversation
33:31you'll
33:32I'll call you
33:33I will call you
33:34I'll call you too
33:35Lucy's right
33:42we don't have any other choice
33:44something about this arrangement feels
33:46unsettling
33:47sketchy
33:48as Georgie and James would say
33:50sus
33:50yes all of the above
33:51and I definitely don't love how close Lucy's getting to Sidwell
33:54Lucy 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
34:03has it ever
34:04no but knowing Lucy
34:05that won't stop her
34:07I am so sorry
34:23my colleagues
34:24could have been a little more
34:25collegial
34:27it never hurts
34:29to have diligent business partners
34:31that is true
34:33please tell me this really is
34:37the absolute best thing to do for deception
34:40oh Lucy
34:42I have many many endeavors in the works
34:46and deception success
34:48success is a vital part of them
34:51just as you
34:53are vital to me
34:56your sister's too young to understand
35:05but I think you should know
35:06mommy married uncle Drew
35:10mommy got married?
35:12did
35:15did she look pretty?
35:21scout was there
35:22and she said she looked really beautiful
35:24why didn't we go?
35:27well because we have to wait for the judge to say it's okay for you to see mommy
35:31remember?
35:33oh
35:33wait
35:34is the judge gonna make me and Amelia live at uncle Drew's house?
35:41no I don't think
35:42we don't like it there
35:43we wanna be here with you
35:46hey
35:46it's okay
35:47alright
35:48you don't have to go there
35:49but Wiley
35:51this is your home
35:52alright
35:54you'll never have to leave
35:55now
36:01whether you choose to testify or not
36:04it's entirely up to you
36:05but I trust Suzanne's instincts
36:08and I suggest that you do too
36:10well my instincts
36:13have led you
36:13to a meticulously documented series
36:16of really bad decisions
36:18that have landed you
36:19okay
36:19Alexis
36:20don't you want
36:21Willow acquitted
36:22Willow
36:23do you wanna be acquitted?
36:26hey
36:27what are you doing?
36:28just walk in here
36:29you don't know how to knock?
36:30Alexis
36:31no one
36:31will have to testify
36:33what are you talking about?
36:35why won't we need to testify?
36:37because
36:37they're going to drop the charges
36:38against you
36:39I have
36:41nothing else to say
36:43without my attorney present
36:45that's fine with me
36:47but
36:48I just wanted to show you
36:50something first
36:51this
36:53was captured
36:55shortly before
36:56congressman Kane's shooting
36:58and we can wait for your attorney
37:01but we will need to know
37:03what you and Selina Wu
37:04were discussing
37:05well I owe you man
37:09without you taking a look
37:10at the case
37:10Curtis could have flown
37:12under the radar
37:13just glad my time away
37:15didn't make me too rusty
37:16not at all
37:17I'm just
37:18not gonna be happy
37:19if Curtis ends up
37:20being our guy
37:21yeah
37:23but
37:23if he is
37:24that's Willow and Michael
37:26off the hook
37:27yeah
37:27that's why we gotta be
37:29100% certain of Curtis
37:30before we move forward
37:31with the case
37:32I'm all Mr. Ashford
37:39booked for obstruction of justice
37:40and making a false statement
37:42I saw you blaze a trail
37:48in this direction
37:49your way back end
37:50you told Curtis the truth
37:52I didn't get a chance
37:53to tell Curtis anything
37:54Curtis was arrested
37:56shooting Drew
37:57all I know is
37:59he was let out in handcuffs
38:00and Nina was there
38:02but she didn't say
38:03what the charges were
38:04it has to be Drew
38:05this is all my fault
38:09how could any of this
38:11possibly be your fault
38:12I'm the one who got myself
38:14blackmailed by Drew
38:15Curtis never would have
38:17got himself mixed up
38:18in this mess
38:19and Drew would have
38:21never pushed Curtis
38:22so far
38:22by going after
38:23I and Stella
38:24what does Drew
38:26have on you
38:27I didn't want
38:28any of this to happen
38:28I was just trying
38:30to protect my dog
38:31on the next
38:36general hospital
38:37I'm here with you
38:38everything's gonna be okay
38:39I'm beginning to think
38:40that I don't know him
38:41as well as I thought
38:42spending time with you
38:43isn't about my alibi
38:44Curtis being charged
38:46changes everything
38:48I think we can mitigate this
38:49but I need your help
