00:00You want a coffee or anything?
00:02Uh, no. No, thanks. I'm okay.
00:05I, uh, I just wanted to check in and see how Rocco was doing.
00:11Well, he's at school, and he was in such a rush, he actually even left his tablet.
00:17But how did he see him this morning? Like he was still pissed at me?
00:23I mean, he wasn't overly chatty, but he did seem in a slightly better mood.
00:28Oh, yeah?
00:30Yeah. I don't want to jinx it, but maybe things are looking up.
00:58I hope that's work-related.
01:13Hey, you're not, uh, dressed yet.
01:16I thought I was taking you home, to rest up.
01:19And while that was a really generous offer, there's been a change of plans.
01:25Jack, it's Nina. Listen, my daughter's trial starts in half an hour.
01:36Did you take care of that problem for me?
01:39Well, what is the holdup? It needs to happen now.
01:44My daughter's life and future depend on it.
01:50I need to go. Get me updated.
01:54Wow.
01:55You can spire much?
01:57Okay, here you go.
02:03What do you got?
02:05Herbal tea.
02:07I know you're stressed. I thought it might help.
02:09A little too far gone for that.
02:12Last-minute notes?
02:14Just editing some things on my opening statement.
02:17Mom, you have rehearsed your opening statement hundreds of times.
02:20I've heard it. It's perfect.
02:22Yeah, well, it can't be perfect enough.
02:23I don't have to tell you what's at stake here, right?
02:27I know. Future access to Scout.
02:30And also Willow's freedom.
02:35Are you sure I look okay?
02:37Alexis told me to wear neutral, subdued colors, but I'm worried I overdid it.
02:42I think you hit the tone perfectly.
02:44I don't know.
02:45Hey.
02:47The jury's gonna take one look at you, and they're gonna see exactly what I say.
02:52What's that?
02:53A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
02:58A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
02:58A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:03A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:04A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:05A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:06A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:07A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:08A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:09A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:10A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:11A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:12A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:13A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:14A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:15A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:16A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:17A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:18A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:19A beautiful, kind, innocent woman.
03:21Good morning, Tracy.
03:30You're very chipper, considering what lies ahead.
03:36Just trying to stay positive.
03:38You go for a walk?
03:40I did. I actually went to the crypt to talk to your grandmother.
03:46Alan and Lila got the cold shoulder, huh?
03:48Not at all. I see them all the time.
03:50But I just figured that your grandmother would be the one who would be most concerned about today.
03:58So I wanted to reassure her that I am going to do everything I can to protect you in court.
04:08That's assuming I need protection.
04:11Don't you?
04:18You just need to be patient.
04:41Oh, that's not my best event.
04:44None of us is going to meddle in that particular event.
04:47But I do think if you just give Rocco some space, I bet he'll come around.
04:56Gio came to Anna's office last night, talking in a truce.
05:01Why wouldn't you start with that? Gio, he came to you?
05:04Yeah, yeah. He'd want us to get along for Rocco's sake.
05:09Considering everything that's happened, that was really big of him.
05:16Also, I invited him here to do all the tree stuff with us.
05:22I hope that's okay with you.
05:24Mm-hmm.
05:27On one condition.
05:29You pick out the tree.
05:31You figure out a way to get it here.
05:33You wrangle it into the stand and...
05:35That's a lot of stuff, but I mean, the lights, too?
05:41And you put on the lights.
05:44Fine.
05:48You're welcome.
05:50I'm all for this.
05:52Rocco would love to get time with you.
05:55Yeah, that's...
05:56That's the hope.
05:57And after the whole break-in debacle,
06:02Rocco deserves a nice, quiet Christmas.
06:06Surrounded by family.
06:08Of course it's work-related.
06:09Great. Let me see it.
06:11That is a blatant invasion of privacy.
06:13Not if you're being honest.
06:15Ever heard of doctor-patient confidentiality?
06:17But you're not a doctor.
06:19At the moment, you're a ward clerk.
06:21I know.
06:22And you just love throwing that in my face, don't you?
06:25We have a policy about not using cell phones
06:28for personal use while on duty.
06:30Oh, okay.
06:31As if you're never on your phone.
06:33I have kids.
06:36So, because I don't,
06:38and I'm just a ward clerk,
06:40it's okay to discriminate against me?
06:42Wow.
06:43Okay, good to know.
06:44Hey, Britt.
06:46I have that letter of recommendation.
06:50Unless you're in the middle of something more important.
06:53No, no, I was just, uh,
06:55I was just about to apologize to Nurse Baldwin
06:57for putting on my phone.
06:59I'm so sorry about that.
07:01I appreciate the apology.
07:06Thank you for going to bat for me.
07:09This will go a long way
07:10towards getting my medical license back.
07:12It was very kind of you to offer for me
07:22to do my bed rest at home.
07:25And you agreed.
07:27Trina was in the room.
07:30But now that I've had time to think about it,
07:31I'm just not sure that it's the best idea.
07:35Look, I know things have been strained
07:38between us lately,
07:39but we can set that aside
07:42to make sure you and the baby are healthy.
07:46Can't we?
07:47But that's the thing.
07:48I just think it'll be less stressful for me
07:52if I stay here one more night.
07:54Okay, but then what?
07:56Then I go back, back to the Metro Court.
07:58You'd be alone.
08:00In my room, maybe.
08:01But there's an entire staff there.
08:03Okay.
08:05That staff can't take care of you
08:07the way I can.
08:08I promise you.
08:09If I need any help,
08:11I'm gonna give you a call.
08:13I just truly think it's for the best.
08:16For me, the baby, and you.
08:20Okay.
08:25You just let me know
08:26if you need anything, okay?
08:27Okay.
08:29You're going to Willow's trial, right?
08:32Yeah, I was planning to head that way
08:35once I made sure you were settled in.
08:37I would really appreciate it
08:38if you kept me updated.
08:41Yeah, I'll do that.
08:43I'll keep you posted.
08:46It's going to drive me insane
08:47wondering if you or I
08:48get thrown under the bus.
08:49I have no idea
08:53what you're talking about, Carly.
08:55I wasn't conspiring.
08:56I haven't done anything wrong.
08:58Maybe not,
08:59but it sounded like to me
09:00that you were making plans
09:01to help Willow go on the run.
09:03That is absurd.
09:05I was asking a friend
09:07to run some positive press
09:09about Willow.
09:10That's it.
09:12Well, having a plane
09:14fueled and ready to go
09:15wouldn't be such a bad idea.
09:17I mean, she is about to be convicted
09:18of attempted murder.
09:19Willow was innocent.
09:21Well, the evidence says otherwise.
09:23If I were Willow,
09:24I would plead guilty
09:24and throw myself
09:26on the mercy of the court.
09:27You would love that, wouldn't you?
09:28Wouldn't hate it.
09:29Yeah, you wouldn't
09:31because then you wouldn't have to worry
09:32about the real truth coming out.
09:35That Michael is the one
09:37that shot Drew.
09:41Or maybe it was you, Carly.
09:43Okay.
09:44Everyone knows
09:45that Willow is guilty.
09:47All right.
09:48Hell, I don't even blame her
09:49for shooting a bastard.
09:50No one does,
09:51including you.
09:53But if she claims
09:54that there were
09:54extenuating circumstances,
09:56she may get a reduced sentence.
09:58My daughter's going to be exonerated
10:00and when she is,
10:01she and her children
10:02are finally going to be reunited.
10:05A girl can dream.
10:06Trust me, Carly.
10:07That's never going to happen.
10:09The prosecution thinks
10:10that they have a slam dunk
10:11on their hands.
10:13But their evidence
10:15isn't as solid
10:17as they think.
10:25The thought of Scout
10:26being cut out
10:27of our lives again,
10:28I honestly don't think
10:29I can take it.
10:30I know.
10:31And if you don't get
10:32Willow exonerated,
10:33then Drew's just going to
10:34enforce her restraining order.
10:35And the person
10:36that's going to suffer
10:37the most is Scout.
10:38Okay, Mom,
10:40I believe in you.
10:41And if Drew and Willow
10:42want to win this case,
10:43then they just have
10:44to believe in you too.
10:46Easier said than done.
10:48You got this.
10:49All right?
10:50I'm going to go
10:50and let you do your...
10:52Come in.
10:53I'll see you later.
10:58Good luck, Willow.
11:02We should get
11:02to the courtroom.
11:03We're not quite ready yet.
11:05Why not?
11:06You should be fully prepared
11:07to win the case by now.
11:09I am.
11:11Your wife isn't.
11:16I wish that you'd never
11:17seen me outside
11:18of Drew's that night.
11:19I hate that you may have
11:20to purge yourself
11:21to protect me.
11:22You and me both.
11:26Tracy, I swear to you,
11:28I didn't shoot him.
11:32You know,
11:32usually I can tell
11:33when someone's lying to me.
11:35But you're like my father.
11:37There's a steeliness
11:38about you
11:39that makes you
11:39very hard to read.
11:41Especially when
11:42you're hiding something.
11:42I'm not hiding anything.
11:45Why would I lie?
11:46Because the stakes
11:47are so high.
11:48It's not just about
11:50your freedom.
11:51It's about your children.
11:53And if you go to prison
11:54and not Willow,
11:55she gets custody
11:56and now that she's
11:57married to Drew...
11:57It's not an option.
11:58Exactly.
12:00You will do anything
12:02you have to do
12:03to protect your family.
12:06Getting on the stand
12:08and lying through your teeth.
12:10Luckily,
12:11I'm willing to do the same.
12:13So,
12:19what do you think?
12:21I crushed it, right?
12:23Crushed me, maybe.
12:24What?
12:26I mean,
12:26let's just say
12:27I have some notes.
12:28It's a solid first draft.
12:30Oh, no,
12:30I think you misunderstood.
12:32That's the draft.
12:34I already sent the letter
12:35to the medical board.
12:36No, you didn't.
12:38Yes, I did.
12:39You sent them
12:39this hatchet job?
12:40Excuse me.
12:42I spoke in glowing terms
12:45about your diagnostic ability,
12:47your surgical proficiency,
12:49your nearly encyclopedic
12:51knowledge of medicine.
12:53Thank you,
12:54but you made me
12:54sound like a robot.
12:55Cold, clinical.
12:56You didn't once
12:57praise my warm bedside manner
12:59or how my work
13:00elevates those around me.
13:02Well, I'm not gonna lie.
13:04Britt,
13:05you are an excellent doctor,
13:07but you are a notoriously
13:09less than excellent human being.
13:11And that's being generous.
13:13Oh, okay.
13:14This is a favor.
13:16Oh, yeah.
13:16Well, seeing that I
13:18didn't say anything
13:19about the horrible human stuff
13:20in the letter,
13:21then yeah, that's a favor.
13:22You sabotaged me.
13:23I did.
13:23No such thing.
13:24You know what?
13:26I should have known
13:27it'd be stupid
13:27to try to do anything
13:28nice for you.
13:30You're welcome, by the way.
13:31I didn't say thank you.
13:33Shocking.
13:33Anyway, I'll lead him
13:37as long as Agent Brennan
13:38comes through.
13:39Making friends and allies
13:41wherever you go, I see.
13:43I'm taking my break.
13:51Hang in there, little one.
13:54We're gonna be okay.
13:55If we can just get through
13:56this trial unscathed.
13:59Knock, knock.
14:00I hear congratulations
14:05are in order.
14:18Hey, Rocco.
14:20Thanks so much for your text.
14:23Tree decorating will be
14:25a nice distraction for Charlotte.
14:27Get her focused on something
14:28other than the Valentin nightmare
14:30for a couple of hours.
14:33Still no sign of him?
14:34Nothing.
14:37Can't tell you how nervous
14:38I was sending her to school,
14:39but I can't keep her home forever.
14:41No, you can't.
14:42Like I told you,
14:43we have squad cars
14:44all around the campus, Charlotte.
14:46It's safe.
14:51I gotta get going
14:53to the courthouse.
14:54Are you testifying
14:55at Willow's trial?
14:56Oh, yeah.
14:57Because Anna's away on assignment,
14:58I get to be the one
14:59grilled by Alexis
15:00on the PCPD's investigation.
15:03Fucking you.
15:04Yeah.
15:06How about you?
15:07You covering the proceedings?
15:09Yep.
15:10Just, you know,
15:12trying not to make me
15:13sound like a
15:14complete idiot.
15:17It's my job
15:17to report the facts.
15:18Oh.
15:22All right.
15:22I'll see you later.
15:24See ya.
15:25I'll see you later.
15:56Kai, wait up.
15:57What are you doing here?
15:58I thought I should hear
15:59the case firsthand.
16:01You know.
16:06Since we were the only ones
16:07that night at Drew's,
16:08maybe we'll catch something
16:09about the shooter
16:10that other people won't.
16:11Maybe,
16:12but I can do that
16:13on my own.
16:14Drew expects me here
16:15from all support.
16:16The reason you're so
16:17interested in the trial
16:18is it's harder
16:19to explain.
16:20How about
16:23that I'm the world's
16:24clinkiest girlfriend?
16:26The kind that
16:28won't let her boyfriend
16:29go anywhere without her.
16:31Not even to a trial.
16:32Okay.
16:33Well, you will really
16:34have to sell that
16:35because anyone
16:36who knows you
16:36knows how independent
16:37you are.
16:39I think I can make
16:40it convincing.
16:42You know,
16:43I am glad you showed up.
16:44And I like that
16:45we'll be working
16:46together now as a team.
16:48Yeah, me too.
16:55I think I can
16:57muster enough
16:59credibility
16:59to convince the jury
17:01that I did not see
17:02anything suspicious.
17:05Well, thank you.
17:07I appreciate you
17:08having my back.
17:13Isn't that my job?
17:14I not only
17:15inherited this house
17:18from Monica,
17:19I inherited
17:19her role
17:22as
17:22head of the family.
17:27And, uh,
17:28it's my job
17:29to keep
17:30the quarter mains
17:31together.
17:32It's a big responsibility.
17:35It is.
17:37And the jury
17:38is still out
17:39as to whether
17:40I am up
17:41to the task.
17:43but
17:44I owe it
17:47to Monica
17:48to try.
17:49Well,
17:50for what it's worth,
17:51I think
17:53my grandmother
17:54chose
17:55a worthy
17:56successor.
17:58I have no doubt
17:59that the family's
18:00in good hands.
18:06You told me
18:07I shouldn't testify.
18:08You shouldn't.
18:09Then what do I need
18:10to prepare for?
18:11You may not be up
18:12on that stand,
18:13but they're gonna be
18:14watching you
18:15like a hawk.
18:15The whole jury
18:16will have their eyes
18:18on you.
18:18Every expression,
18:20your jaw clenching,
18:21anything that you do,
18:23they'll be seeing it.
18:24So how you conduct
18:25yourself on that stand
18:27is vital
18:27to proving your innocence.
18:28Okay,
18:29so then what
18:29does Willow
18:30need to know?
18:31What do we do?
18:33The ADA
18:33is gonna drag
18:34your whole life
18:35out into the open.
18:37She's gonna say
18:37horrible things
18:38about you,
18:39some true,
18:40some false.
18:41No matter
18:42how hurt
18:43or embarrassed
18:44or angry you get,
18:45you don't express it.
18:47So now I can't
18:48show any emotion?
18:49You can be sad
18:50about your children,
18:52but even then
18:53you don't overdo it.
18:55If you lose control
18:56in that courtroom,
18:57we're done.
18:58Right?
18:59It'll make you
19:00look unstable,
19:01and if you're unstable,
19:02then you're capable
19:02of shooting him.
19:03That's a really
19:04fine line to walk.
19:06You can do it.
19:07I have faith in you.
19:08Just don't lose
19:09sight of the goal.
19:11In order to be
19:12with Wiley and Amelia,
19:13you need to be
19:14a free one.
19:16You having a relationship
19:16with your kids
19:17is what this is all about.
19:19Right.
19:19It's all I want.
19:21I will do
19:21whatever it takes
19:24to be with my children again.
19:32It's very generous
19:34of you to write
19:34that letter for Britt,
19:35even if she didn't
19:36appreciate it.
19:37Generous and stupid.
19:39No, generous and nice.
19:41I keep wondering
19:41if I made a mistake
19:43by vouching for her.
19:44I don't think so at all.
19:47But you can't stand Britt.
19:49Well, it doesn't change
19:50the fact that she's
19:50an excellent doctor.
19:52I fully support her efforts
19:54in getting her
19:54medical license back.
19:57You just don't want
19:58to be her supervisor anymore.
20:00I mean,
20:00that would be a bonus.
20:03Well, fingers crossed.
20:04My letter did the trick,
20:05then.
20:06Well, convinced you
20:06to write that letter.
20:08Talking about
20:08not standing Britt.
20:09Seeing how she was
20:12with Portia.
20:13She swooped in
20:14and made sure
20:15that Portia got
20:15the medical care
20:16she needed
20:16without missing a beat.
20:18That must have been
20:18so scary for Portia.
20:20I thank God
20:22the baby and she are okay.
20:24Have you seen her yet today?
20:25No, I was gonna go up
20:26and say hi on my break.
20:28I just hope she's able
20:29to relax
20:30and avoid any stress.
20:32What the hell
20:36are you doing here?
20:38In Port Charles
20:39or your hospital room?
20:42What?
20:43Portia, I missed you.
20:45Along with all my
20:46other fellow
20:47co-workers at GH.
20:48So I decided to
20:50take a break
20:50from my travels abroad
20:51and pop in for a visit.
20:54You ran through
20:54all that money,
20:55didn't you?
20:56That has to be a record.
20:58Even for you.
20:59Okay.
21:00A.
21:01Finance shaming
21:01is not cool
21:03and B.
21:04I was hoping
21:05to keep this civil.
21:07Brad,
21:07you blackmailed me
21:08and then sold me out
21:10to Drew
21:10for a huge payday.
21:12And what?
21:14You came back
21:14after what,
21:15seven months?
21:17Six.
21:18I'm sorry.
21:19I bet you are sorry
21:21for blowing through
21:21all that money.
21:22Not just that.
21:23Can't we start fresh?
21:25We cannot.
21:26No.
21:27I don't know
21:28what you want
21:28but you're not
21:29getting it from me.
21:30You have nothing on me.
21:32Not anymore.
21:33So please,
21:34just feel free to leave.
21:36Well,
21:36maybe there's no
21:37physical evidence
21:39but I still have
21:41quite the tale
21:42to share
21:43with Dr. Randolph
21:44and the hospital board.
21:47What's going on?
21:48Dr. Robinson
21:49is on bed rest.
21:50You need to leave.
21:51Look,
21:52I didn't mean to...
21:53Go!
21:54Now.
21:55Fine.
21:57I'll be back.
21:59Not on my watch.
22:10Is that Brad Cooper?
22:14I recognize him
22:15from your description.
22:17He does give off
22:18weasel vibes.
22:18Because he is a weasel.
22:21But you...
22:21You need to really
22:23be careful
22:24around him.
22:25I'm not scared of him.
22:26You should be.
22:28He has this incredible talent
22:29for sniffing out secrets
22:30so if he finds out
22:32that we're involved
22:33it could be disastrous
22:35for both of us.
22:37Can I help you?
22:54Yeah.
22:55You can stay
22:55the hell away
22:56from my son.
23:03Hey.
23:04You need anything
23:05from me
23:05before we get started?
23:06No, I think
23:07we're in good shape.
23:08And, um,
23:09thanks again
23:10for pulling
23:10all that traffic footage.
23:11We now nearly
23:12have a complete
23:13video progression
23:14of Willow driving
23:15from the hospital
23:16to Drew's house.
23:17Yeah, I gotta admit
23:18I wasn't sure
23:19we had the right person
23:19but that's the second
23:20alibi she's live now.
23:22Big mistake
23:23on her part.
23:24And, um,
23:25my job
23:26just got a whole lot easier.
23:36Hey.
23:38Hey.
23:38Hey.
23:39Oh, how you holding up?
23:41I'm, uh,
23:42feeling confident
23:43justice will be served.
23:45Well, let's hope so.
23:46Yeah.
23:47Have you seen Willow?
23:48I haven't.
23:50I wouldn't be surprised
23:51if she made a run for it.
23:54Willow, finally,
23:55you're here.
23:56Can we talk to each other
23:57in private?
23:58We don't have a lot of time.
23:59It's not gonna take long.
24:00There's something
24:01that you should know.
24:02Thank God.
24:03Let's go, guys.
24:04Court's almost in session.
24:05Sorry.
24:06Mom, it'll have to wait.
24:07No, Willow, I...
24:21I...
24:22I didn't realize
24:24that you were back in town.
24:26Yeah, I just, uh,
24:27I just got in today.
24:29I would have given you
24:30a heads up,
24:31but I didn't know
24:32if you'd want to hear from me.
24:34It would have been fine.
24:36Good to know.
24:40So what brings you back?
24:42Uh, you know,
24:43traveling the world
24:44can be exhausting.
24:45I just need a little break.
24:47Yeah, I get that.
24:48Yeah, uh,
24:49how have you been?
24:50Good.
24:51Good.
24:52Work's been keeping me busy.
24:53Yeah.
24:54Uh, too busy
24:56for, uh, personal life?
24:57I managed to juggle both.
25:02Oh, does that, uh,
25:03does that mean
25:03you're seeing someone?
25:05If I remember correctly,
25:06you were starting to date
25:07some guy when I left town?
25:09Uh, Marco.
25:11And, yes,
25:12we are still a thing.
25:13Or, actually,
25:14more than a thing.
25:16We've moved in together.
25:17There was nothing suspicious
25:21about me giving Brad the boot.
25:24As far as everyone at GH is concerned,
25:27you're my boss,
25:28and we're friends.
25:30So, of course,
25:31I'd stick up for you.
25:32No, you're right.
25:33You're right.
25:34I just get a little paranoid
25:35when it comes to Brad.
25:37He's got a gift
25:38for stressing me out.
25:40Well, since paranoia
25:41slash stress
25:42is the last thing you need,
25:43let's change the subject.
25:45Yes, please, let's.
25:47When is Curtis
25:48coming to take you home?
25:49He already came by.
25:51I told him
25:52that I changed my mind.
25:55I asked Dr. Navarro
25:56if I could stay here
25:57another night.
25:58Here?
25:59Mm-hmm.
26:00Yeah, and then I'm gonna go back
26:01to my room
26:01at the Metro Court.
26:03Or
26:03we could stick with
26:05the original plan
26:06and you could come
26:07stay with me
26:08at the cabin.
26:15Hey, sweetheart.
26:17I didn't know
26:18you were coming.
26:19Yeah, I didn't have
26:19anything big to do today,
26:21so I thought I'd just
26:21keep kind company.
26:23Did you get Mom
26:24settled in at home?
26:27That's not happening.
26:29There's been a change
26:29of plans.
26:32I'm right behind you,
26:33so if you need
26:35a pick-me-up
26:36or anything,
26:36just turn around, okay?
26:38I love you.
26:39Here we go.
26:48All rise.
26:50Court is now in session.
26:51The Honorable Judge Sullivan
26:52presiding.
27:00I'm in the middle
27:01of my shift,
27:02so if you're not here
27:03as a patient...
27:03You have been texting
27:04with my son
27:05behind my back.
27:08Hey, Rocco,
27:08thanks so much
27:09for your text.
27:10It meant a lot to me.
27:11Glad it worked out.
27:12Let's meet up soon.
27:14The horror.
27:15This isn't funny, Brit.
27:18But your hysteria
27:19over a nothing text
27:20kind of is.
27:21That was a private message.
27:22I know,
27:23because you aren't
27:23supposed to contact him.
27:25Rocco reached out to me.
27:26Am I just supposed
27:26to ignore it?
27:27Yes.
27:27That's ridiculous, Lulu.
27:28He's a child, Brit.
27:30You're the adult here.
27:31Rocco has nearly grown.
27:33He is old enough
27:34to decide who he wants
27:35in his life.
27:36You keep this up,
27:37you'll push him away.
27:39Parenting advice, really?
27:41Do I truly threaten
27:42you that much?
27:43You are a selfish liar
27:44who destroys everything
27:46you touch.
27:47I will not let Rocco
27:48be next.
27:49I am blocking
27:50your number
27:50from his phone.
27:51And trust me,
27:53that is just the beginning.
27:58Good morning.
28:01The court calls
28:02the case of the people
28:04of the state of New York
28:05versus Willow Tate.
28:07I trust both sides
28:08are ready to begin.
28:10People are ready,
28:11Your Honor.
28:12The defense is ready,
28:13Your Honor.
28:15D.A. Turner,
28:16you may make
28:16your opening statement.
28:25Wow.
28:26Living in domestic bliss.
28:28Oh.
28:30Congrats.
28:33Where can I send
28:35the housewarming yet?
28:36You don't need
28:37to send anything,
28:38but we're at Windermere
28:40with his dad.
28:41Oof.
28:43Doesn't that
28:43crap your style?
28:44The father
28:45or the fortress?
28:46Both.
28:48We make it work.
28:51You're a good sport.
28:55Oh, I'm sorry.
28:57A patient needs me.
29:00It's good seeing you, Brad.
29:02You too.
29:03When I first pitched
29:12the idea,
29:13you seemed excited
29:14about staying in the cabin.
29:16I was.
29:18Oh, it truly sounds ideal.
29:22But, um,
29:23if Trina and Curtis
29:25were to find out,
29:26it would be really tricky
29:27for me to explain.
29:29No.
29:30Oh.
29:34You don't have to know
29:35that I'm staying there, too.
29:37We could say
29:38that I offered up
29:39my place
29:39and you accept it
29:41because it's
29:42peaceful and quiet there.
29:44But in reality,
29:46you'd be there
29:47with me, too.
29:49Oh.
29:50That's okay.
29:51Okay.
29:51I'd really like
29:55to take care
29:56of you
29:56and the baby.
30:01After all,
30:03there is a chance
30:06it's mine.
30:09It's really tempting.
30:11I'd say yes.
30:12Hey.
30:18Checking out
30:19to see if you
30:20got my earlier text.
30:22Let me know.
30:34Hey.
30:37Did you miss anything?
30:38No,
30:39it was about to get
30:40broken in a statement.
30:41Are you okay?
30:43Why?
30:44Let me see
30:45a little agitator.
30:46I'll tell you
30:47about it later.
30:49Good morning,
30:50ladies and gentlemen.
30:51I know you're
30:52all very busy people,
30:53so I'm not going
30:53to waste your time
30:54with a sales pitch.
30:56I'm just going
30:57to give you the facts.
30:59The PCPD
31:00has gathered
31:00a mountain of evidence
31:01to make it
31:02undeniably clear
31:03that Willow Tate
31:04had motive,
31:06means,
31:07and opportunity
31:08to shoot
31:09Congressman Cain.
31:11The defendant's
31:12attorney will
31:13try her best
31:14to distract you
31:16from that evidence.
31:18Ms. Davis
31:19will paint
31:19the heart-tugging
31:21portrait of a mother
31:22who has been
31:22separated from her
31:23children,
31:24who is nothing more
31:26than a victim
31:26herself.
31:28Ms. Davis
31:29will also try
31:30to throw a lot
31:30of other suspects
31:31at the wall
31:32in hopes that
31:32one of them
31:33sticks just enough.
31:35But,
31:37let's get back
31:38to the facts.
31:39Starting with
31:40motive.
31:42This man
31:43seduced her
31:45away from her husband.
31:47Because
31:48of Congressman Cain,
31:50Ms. Tate's family
31:51was torn apart
31:52and she lost
31:54custody
31:54of her children.
31:56This led
31:57to Ms. Tate
31:58suffering
31:58not one
31:59but two
31:59psychotic
32:00breaks,
32:01one of which
32:02took place
32:03after learning
32:04that the
32:05congressman
32:05had slept
32:06with her
32:07own mother
32:07while
32:09he was
32:10courting her.
32:13Then,
32:14on the night
32:15of the shooting,
32:17Ms. Tate
32:17found out
32:18that the judge
32:19assigned to her
32:19custody hearing
32:20had been murdered,
32:21which would mean
32:22that any potential
32:23reunion with her
32:24children would be
32:25delayed.
32:27Any mother
32:28would have
32:29snapped.
32:32And Ms. Tate
32:33did.
32:36There's
32:36motivation.
32:39As for means,
32:41the weapon
32:42was taken
32:42from the estate
32:43where the defendant
32:44once lived
32:45and after the shooting,
32:47it was found
32:47among her belongings
32:49at her temporary
32:50residence.
32:52As for opportunity,
32:54we have footage
32:55of Ms. Tate
32:56driving from
32:57her place of work
32:58to the congressman's
33:00house at the time
33:01of the shooting.
33:05By the time
33:06this trial
33:06is over,
33:07the facts
33:08will leave you
33:09with only one
33:10reasonable conclusion.
33:13On the night
33:14of September 2nd
33:15of this year,
33:17Willow Tate
33:18drove to
33:20congressman Kane's
33:21house,
33:22shot him
33:23not once
33:23but twice
33:24in the back
33:25and left him
33:30for dead.
33:30Portia, I'm coming
33:55to check on
33:56you.
34:12Brad
34:13Cooper?
34:16As I live
34:18and breathe.
34:21Yeah.
34:22I heard
34:24you were doing
34:25both those things.
34:28But then I thought,
34:28no.
34:30No, that couldn't
34:30possibly be true
34:31because
34:32my best friend
34:34in the world
34:35wouldn't have let me
34:37think that she was
34:38dead for two
34:38whole years.
34:41I am so sorry.
34:44The last thing
34:45I wanted
34:45was to hurt anyone.
34:48But especially
34:49not you.
34:53Is there any way
34:54a day you could
34:54forgive me?
34:58I'll consider it.
35:02If you
35:03watched the Oscars
35:07with me in March,
35:09including the
35:10red carpet coverage.
35:14My fridge
35:15is stocked
35:16with Rocky Road
35:17ice cream
35:17in preparation.
35:18Then I guess
35:21all is forgiven.
35:22Really?
35:25Come here,
35:26you heartless
35:26snake.
35:35ADA Turner
35:36was right
35:37about one thing.
35:39Back in September,
35:42Miss Tate's
35:42life
35:43was a mess.
35:45her family
35:47was fractured
35:48and she was
35:49unable to see
35:50her children.
35:51But it was not
35:52because of
35:53Drew King.
35:54It was because
35:54of her ex-husband
35:56and the father
35:57of her children,
35:59Michael
36:00Corinthos.
36:03Mr. Corinthos
36:04was very angry.
36:06and he was jealous
36:09and he was jealous
36:09because his wife
36:11had left him
36:13for another man
36:14and to add
36:16insult to injury,
36:18that other man
36:18was his uncle.
36:20so he retaliated.
36:26And he retaliated
36:28in a very
36:28bad way.
36:31He stripped
36:32his ex
36:33of her children.
36:35Now, I'm sure
36:37you can
36:38imagine
36:40how devastating
36:41that would be
36:41for any mother,
36:42right?
36:43And it was
36:43devastating
36:44for Willow Tate.
36:48And she did
36:49put some
36:50of the blame
36:50at the congressman's
36:52feet,
36:53but it was brief
36:54because long
36:55before he was shot,
36:57they had well
36:57reconciled.
36:59In fact,
37:00they were just
37:01married this past
37:02Thanksgiving.
37:02So,
37:06then you ask
37:06yourself,
37:08why,
37:09right?
37:10Why in the world
37:11would this woman
37:12then shoot
37:13the man
37:15she loves?
37:17Her future husband?
37:19Why?
37:22She didn't.
37:25She wouldn't.
37:26The only reason
37:27she's sitting
37:28in this courtroom
37:28today is because
37:29the PCPD
37:30and the district
37:31attorney's office
37:32were desperate.
37:35They had a congressman
37:36who was shot
37:37and they needed
37:37to find a suspect
37:38fast,
37:39so they focused
37:40solely on Willow Tate.
37:43They rushed to
37:44judgment
37:44at the exclusion
37:46of everybody else.
37:49I mean,
37:50there are suspects,
37:51unlike Miss Tate,
37:53who have actual
37:55motive
37:55to want to kill
37:56Drew Cain.
37:57but they rushed
38:01to judgment.
38:03They did.
38:05My client,
38:06Willow Tate,
38:08she's innocent.
38:11And I relish
38:12the opportunity
38:13to prove that
38:14to you.
38:16on the next
38:32general hospital.
38:33In that case,
38:34you're going to have
38:34to take me in.
38:35Defense strenuously
38:36objects to the
38:37admission of this
38:38evidence.
38:39Consider it my
38:40early Christmas
38:40present.
38:41Nobody can know
38:42that I came here
38:43to ask you for help.
38:44There's just one catch.
