00:00But at this point, does it even matter?
00:03It matters to me.
00:05Somebody gave Alexis information that forced me to testify against Michael.
00:09I made a vow to protect my family.
00:12Somebody made me betray Monica.
00:16We have to stop meeting like this.
00:21I would be happy never to meet with you again, but I don't think that's likely, is it?
00:26If this is about our arrangement, it's not a good time.
00:29I'm meeting my brother.
00:30Okay, you can relax, Mayor Collins.
00:32I'm not here for you.
00:35But since we both work for Sidwell now, maybe you could try to be a little more convivial.
00:42A little less prickly.
00:45Not likely.
00:53Hey.
00:55Hey.
00:57Huh?
00:58Oh, well, I'm not that late, Hamlet.
01:01Oh.
01:03Uh.
01:04No.
01:04No, no.
01:05Really, you're fine.
01:06You're okay.
01:07How's by you?
01:09You said you had news.
01:11I do.
01:12I do.
01:14Kevin took a case to Ireland.
01:16Oh.
01:17Vacation?
01:17No, Martin.
01:20It's for good.
01:24I think we had a good day.
01:25Actually, I think it's the best day I've had since the trial started.
01:29And you deserve an Oscar for that thumb drive folder bluff.
01:33Very good.
01:35I was going for controlled urgency with a touch of, we got you now.
01:40Well, whatever it was, it was perfect.
01:42So, thank you.
01:43What's in the cake box?
01:45Oh, well, I had a tradition with my old bosses.
01:49On the eve of closing arguments, we had a cake for luck.
01:54This is a Greek New Year's cake.
01:56It's tied to blessings and good fortunes.
01:59So, since we just had New Year's and you're originally from Greece, I thought it was kismet.
02:04That's really thoughtful.
02:06And if I have time, I'll run a piece over to Diane.
02:10Trust me, she will love that.
02:12I do, too.
02:13And, you know, I am not a very superstitious person, but since this case is almost won, why not?
02:20Unfortunately, almost isn't good enough.
02:31Okay.
02:32Let's just put it out there.
02:33The ringtone we heard at Drew's house the night of his shooting had to be Wiley calling Michael.
02:38And Michael claimed that he got the call before he went to the house and that stopped him from going inside.
02:43But he was lying, Trina.
02:45He was there.
02:46Kai, stop.
02:48We need to drop this and stay out of it.
02:50Gia, hey, I'm sorry.
03:04I didn't know anyone was here.
03:06That's...
03:07Yeah, the door slammed.
03:10Are you okay?
03:11No.
03:12No, not exactly.
03:14Is there anything I can do to help?
03:16I don't think there's anything that can help me now.
03:20Hold up.
03:21Maybe you're upset about me mishandling evidence and maybe it's because of what happened in court today.
03:26But you don't really think that Michael framed Willow, do you?
03:31I don't know what I think anymore.
03:35But it's possible.
03:37So we just have to go over every bit of evidence again and make sure an innocent woman isn't convicted of a crime that my brother committed.
03:49Kevin moved to Ireland?
04:15Mm-hmm.
04:16So that's kind of sudden.
04:17Are you okay?
04:20Oh, yeah.
04:21Yeah, I am.
04:21It was my idea.
04:23But do you adore Ace?
04:25Yes, I do.
04:26I love Ace very much, and so I asked Kevin to take him.
04:31Look, the last four months here have been pretty chaotic.
04:34With the mayoral race and all of that negative press, and then there was all that horrible stuff that happened with Rocco.
04:42Kids really pick up on that kind of negativity, you know?
04:46And then Kevin missed out on all of that time with Ace while he was in Dublin.
04:52So when he got this wonderful job offer, I just thought, why not?
04:58Yeah, why not indeed?
04:59Yeah, because Ace is going to get to see the world.
05:03That's priceless.
05:04Okay, Laura, um, that answer is as convincing as it is well rehearsed, but I'm sorry, I can't help but think.
05:13I'm not sure whether I'm talking to the mayor or my beloved baby sister.
05:20Yeah, I thought so.
05:21So I tell you what, why don't we start again, and you can tell me what's really going on.
05:27You know something I heard in court today that's been bugging me?
05:33Michael said Wiley called him, but he didn't answer.
05:37Yeah, well, that's what kept him from going into Drew's house.
05:40I said, let's check his cell phone records, cell phone tower pings, time stamps.
05:47Let's pull Willows 2, all of it.
05:49You know, you know, in second thought, I don't know if I have the clear head for this case right now.
05:55I didn't go at Michael hard enough the first time, and now Turner was burned in court because of it.
06:01Can't be sure we should recover.
06:03Yeah, maybe.
06:05But I need you to do it.
06:08I need you to go over all my work.
06:10Every note, every interview transcript, all of it.
06:13Yeah, all right, Ben, if that's what you want, you got it.
06:16I just, I don't trust myself to do it.
06:22Okay, I know it's a lot to deal with, but you were all fired up to get to the truth.
06:27And we have it now, but you just want to drop it and pretend that we don't know what we know?
06:32Yes.
06:33Why?
06:34Joss has been there for me during the worst times of my life.
06:40And Michael is her brother.
06:42It would destroy her if something happened to him.
06:45I can't do this to her.
06:47I can't.
06:49But, Trina, this isn't about Josselyn.
06:51But for me, it is.
06:53Because she would protect me, and I have to do the same for her.
06:55Okay, so what about Willow?
06:56Who's going to protect her?
06:58Drew and Alexis.
07:00And from what I saw, it looks like Alexis is doing a pretty good job of it.
07:03Look, our whole goal was to protect my parents in case they were involved in Drew's shooting.
07:12Clearly, they're not.
07:14So we can leave this alone.
07:16Even if that means letting an innocent woman go to prison.
07:21Trina, we are witnesses.
07:22We are the only witnesses.
07:24We can't just do nothing.
07:26Remember the last time that you insisted on coming forward with the truth?
07:29About my parents and Drew?
07:33And then you didn't listen to me.
07:35And then you regretted it.
07:38Listen to me now.
07:41We're staying out of this.
07:44No, I'm sorry, Trina.
07:45I can't do that.
07:47Do you have any idea who might have tipped Alexis off?
07:53Anybody you suspect?
07:54If I did, would I be standing here talking about it with you?
07:57Okay, easy, step monster.
08:00Sorry.
08:01All right.
08:02So we are starting from scratch here.
08:07You said that Michael didn't see you that night.
08:10So obviously you didn't interact.
08:12We did not.
08:12But Alexis' line of questioning suggests that someone
08:18saw the two of you within proximity of each other.
08:22So why didn't Alexis have her source testified to that fact?
08:26Why did she need to trick you into saying it yourself?
08:29And why did I fall for it?
08:32Oh.
08:33She needed me to say it because she doesn't have a witness.
08:37Oh.
08:40Exactly.
08:42So, if that's the case,
08:46how did Alexis find out about the two of you?
08:49Did you and Michael talk about that night?
08:51Yeah, but...
08:53What are you getting at?
08:55Someone heard you
08:56and took that conversation to Alexis.
09:00But she couldn't have that person testify in court
09:02because it would be thrown out as hearsay.
09:05Did you have that conversation in public?
09:08No, never.
09:09Only at home.
09:10Oh.
09:14That means...
09:15The person who betrayed me lives in my house.
09:20There she is.
09:22Here I am.
09:24Why did you want to meet?
09:25Haven't I done enough damage already?
09:28I figured you were going through a tough time right now.
09:33That's why I reached out.
09:37I want to make everything better for you.
09:40Something bad happened at trial?
09:46That doesn't begin to cover it.
09:48I'm sorry.
09:51I just keep hoping everything gets resolved soon,
09:53especially for...
09:55Wiley and Amelia's sake.
09:58Yeah, me too.
10:00I really loved hanging out with them at Christmas.
10:03They're good kids.
10:04Yeah, they really are.
10:06Yeah, I've actually been meaning to thank you
10:08for the way you stepped up and played for us at Christmas.
10:10And you got put on the spot and handled it beautifully.
10:15Yeah, I did.
10:18I, uh...
10:18I didn't want to disappoint the kids,
10:20and I also knew it was everyone's first Christmas without Monica.
10:25My performance, it really lifted everyone's spirits.
10:28Thanks, man.
10:29It's a lot.
10:30Yeah, thanks for doing it.
10:32And Wiley, you couldn't stop talking about it.
10:34I mean, none of us could.
10:35Well, I'm glad that I could help make Christmas
10:38just a little bit better.
10:42I gotta go.
10:44But if you think of anything that I can do...
10:47Thanks, Gio.
10:49I will.
10:58Hey, Gio.
10:59You on your way out?
11:00Yeah.
11:01It's good to see you.
11:02Okay, good to see you, too.
11:05See you later.
11:14I've been following the trial closely.
11:17Today was rough.
11:19Yeah, yeah, today was not a great day.
11:22I'm so sorry, Michael.
11:24I should have warned you.
11:25You warned me?
11:27Or did you know that your mom
11:29was gonna annihilate me in court today?
11:32Yeah, actually, I did.
11:34A little early for a party, isn't it?
11:40Alexis, I want you to make sure that Willow gets off.
11:42I don't want you to be pretty sure that it's going to happen.
11:45And in order to do that, you need to call more witnesses.
11:48When court resumes tomorrow, I'm resting the defense.
11:52Oh, the jury will love that.
11:54It'll be a pleasant surprise,
11:55and that'll go a long way with the jury.
11:57And the last thing the jury will hear, then,
11:59will be Elizabeth's damning testimony.
12:02They will have their reasonable doubt now.
12:04Maybe they're right.
12:05They're not.
12:07I want reasonable doubt.
12:08I want no doubt.
12:09That's why you're putting me on the stand tomorrow.
12:14Come on.
12:20Tell me what's really going on.
12:23I figured you thought I'd be upset
12:25that we have a right to be honest.
12:27Okay?
12:30The truth is, I sent Ace away
12:33because it's not safe for him to be here.
12:39I'm surprised you want to make things better for me,
12:42especially with how things shook out for you in court today.
12:46Well, it's okay.
12:49No real damage done to me.
12:51And you know what?
12:53So what if everyone knows the true nature of our relationship?
12:57I mean, it's not like I'm married.
12:58We didn't do anything wrong.
13:01The police might think otherwise.
13:03I think they have better things to do
13:05than to regulate our feelings for one another.
13:08Right?
13:08Okay, yeah.
13:09Okay, sure.
13:10We met in an unusual way
13:13via your agency,
13:15but what began as an arrangement
13:17turned into something meaningful.
13:20Think about it.
13:22Now that the truth is out there,
13:24you no longer have to hide a relationship.
13:27Okay?
13:28We can no longer be ashamed about it.
13:32Your constituents might have something to say about that.
13:36Let them talk.
13:37I have a whole term to prove my worth.
13:40What's important here is that
13:42we are finally free.
13:45And we can have something real now.
13:47How long have you known
13:51that I was going to be annihilated in court today?
13:53I didn't know what it was going to be today specifically,
13:55but I have known for some time
13:57that my mother's entire defense of Willow
14:00hinged on her blaming someone else,
14:02and I had a feeling that person would be you.
14:04Right.
14:05I didn't know the details of her plan until recently.
14:08I was looking through her files,
14:09and I found this witness list,
14:11this new one,
14:12that had Jacinda and Ezra Boyle on it,
14:15and this note about you and Tracy.
14:16No, what?
14:17No.
14:19Someone in my house betrayed me and Michael,
14:22and serves me right
14:24for letting the house turn into Grand Central Station.
14:27But do you really think it's someone who lives there?
14:30It's possible.
14:31Look,
14:33Monica opened her home to everybody,
14:35and I have tried to honor that,
14:37which means I now have to figure out
14:39which ingrate turned me and Michael in.
14:43Dante and Chase do live there,
14:45and they happen to be cops.
14:46Dante would never turn on his brother again.
14:48I guess.
14:50But Chase?
14:52I mean,
14:52he was married to Willow,
14:54and they do seem to still be close.
14:56They are,
14:57disturbingly so.
14:59Does that really feel like Chase's style
15:01to tip off Alexis like that?
15:03Anything's possible.
15:05So what if it does turn out
15:06to be your grandson-in-law?
15:07If it is him,
15:10heaven help him.
15:13Believe me, Trina.
15:14After what happened the last time
15:15I didn't listen to you,
15:16I learned my lesson.
15:18And I'm never going to betray your trust
15:20or hurt you like that again.
15:22That's why I'm being open
15:23about what I'm thinking and feeling.
15:25That's all I'm trying to do.
15:28Joss is like my sister.
15:30I love her.
15:31So family and loved ones
15:33always come first.
15:34And I know you don't want to hurt Jocelyn,
15:36and I don't either.
15:37But what about Wiley and Amelia?
15:39What happens to them
15:40if their mother goes to prison?
15:42They stay with their rich father
15:44who is crazy about them.
15:45Trina.
15:45What?
15:46But what if Willow didn't do it
15:48and we knew the truth?
15:49That's not right either.
15:50God.
15:51I want us to be on the same side here.
15:53Okay, listen.
15:53I'm not going to do
15:54or say anything without you.
15:56Good.
15:56Then maybe you can meet me halfway.
15:58Okay.
15:59Then what does that look like for you?
16:05We're assuming right now
16:06that it was Michael's phone
16:08we heard that night.
16:09But we need to prove it.
16:12So if we prove it was Michael...
16:15Then we can decide
16:16what to do with that information together.
16:18I promise.
16:21Okay.
16:23I know how we can find out.
16:28You think Ace is in danger?
16:31From whom?
16:34Your friend Valentin Kassadine.
16:36He's on the loose again.
16:39I know.
16:40PCPD and the WSB informed me
16:42they even think he's in Port Charles somewhere.
16:44But why on earth
16:46would you think he's a danger to Ace?
16:49Because Ace is the sole Kassadine heir.
16:54You know, the entire fortune
16:56has been left to him
16:57in a trust to just him.
16:59And we know that Valentin
17:01is a very unpredictable
17:03and dangerous man.
17:04And, you know,
17:06he's been known to cross lines
17:10to get what he wants.
17:11Laura, he's a dangerous man
17:13to his enemies.
17:14I have never known him
17:15to be willing to go after children.
17:17Really?
17:18Because I seem to remember
17:20that he took his daughter
17:21on the run with him
17:22and then used her as a shield.
17:24Ace would just be
17:25a means to an end, you know?
17:27It's my job to protect him.
17:30If anything happened
17:31at that little boy, I'm...
17:32Okay.
17:33I understand.
17:36I get it.
17:37You put Ace first.
17:39You want to protect him.
17:40It's obvious you made the right choice.
17:42especially since it can't have been
17:46an easy decision for you to make.
17:50So, are you going to tell me
17:51who we're waiting for?
17:52We're waiting for someone
17:54who can help us find out
17:55if Michael's ringtone
17:56was the one that we heard
17:57at Drew's house.
17:58Okay, good.
17:59The sooner we know, the better.
18:00Hi, Dante around?
18:21Oh, no.
18:22You just missed him.
18:24Okay.
18:25Well, maybe you can help me.
18:27Turner's on the war path
18:28after what happened in court today.
18:30She wants me to get
18:31a progress report
18:31on the missing footage
18:32and the gaps in your investigation.
18:35Well, I am revisiting
18:36Michael's records
18:37and going through
18:38Wiley's call log.
18:40Well, that's fine,
18:41but the people's case
18:41is against Willow Tate,
18:43not Michael.
18:45It's not about
18:46who we want to be guilty.
18:48It's who the evidence
18:48points us to.
18:50Okay.
18:50Well, Turner wants evidence
18:52on Willow.
18:53So start there
18:54and look for something
18:55that'll seal our case,
18:57not muddy it.
18:58Are you speaking
18:59as the assistant DA
19:00or as someone close
19:02to Michael Corentos?
19:05Someone left my mom
19:07a note which pointed her
19:08in the direction of Tracy.
19:10It said,
19:10Tracy saw you
19:12on Drew Street
19:14at the time of the shooting.
19:15Well, as far as I know,
19:16Tracy and I are the only ones
19:17who know that I was at Drew.
19:18So who sent the note?
19:20No one knows.
19:20It was anonymous.
19:21There was no handwriting,
19:22no signature on it.
19:23It was just typed out
19:24on plain paper.
19:26And that's all I know
19:27because my mom saw me
19:29looking through the files
19:30and then...
19:31I wanted to warn you.
19:37I did.
19:37I just...
19:38I didn't...
19:38I didn't want to undermine
19:39my mom's case.
19:40I didn't want you
19:41to be blindsided either.
19:42So I tried to fix it myself.
19:44Oh.
19:46I gave Jacinda some money
19:48and I told her to leave town.
19:49Ezra,
19:52you may have just been
19:54re-elected to the city council,
19:55but you won't survive
19:57the next election
19:58with me in your life.
20:00Uh, we don't know that.
20:03Look, you're starting
20:04to build a new life
20:05for yourself.
20:06You got that new job
20:07at Crimson.
20:08I doubt I have
20:10much of a future there.
20:12My boss didn't want me there
20:13in the first place.
20:14Michael won't be in a position
20:16to protect me,
20:17not if he's busy
20:18fighting off
20:18an attempted murder charge.
20:21Well, I have connections, too.
20:24So if something were to happen
20:25and you would lose your job,
20:28I'll use them
20:29to find you something else.
20:34That's a nice offer,
20:36but I really think
20:38I need to leave town
20:40and start over somewhere else.
20:44I am not putting you
20:45on the stand, Drew.
20:47Our goal is reasonable doubt,
20:49and I've already achieved that.
20:50I want the jury
20:51to hear the whole story.
20:52I want them to hear
20:53about Michael's anger.
20:54I want them to hear
20:54about his threats,
20:55about how he assaulted me,
20:58about how he got Jason
20:59to assault me.
21:00And there is always
21:01a risk of pushing too hard
21:02that could make Michael
21:04look sympathetic.
21:05And Michael has already
21:06admitted on the record
21:07how much he hates you.
21:09Yeah, which should have
21:10helped Willow,
21:11but Michael's honesty
21:13really only made him
21:14look better.
21:15Look, I need to tell the jury
21:18how Michael's anger
21:19manifested.
21:21No, you don't.
21:23I agree with Alexis
21:24and Suzanne.
21:26It can't be you
21:29on the stand.
21:30It has to be me.
21:37What a pleasant surprise.
21:40Of course,
21:41it would be infinitely
21:42more pleasant
21:43if you weren't
21:44sharing a meal
21:46with your
21:46brother.
21:54Dante.
21:54Hi.
21:55Hi.
21:55Everything okay?
21:57Hey, yeah.
21:58Uh, just
21:59thought I'd
22:01stop by
22:02and see how
22:02Charlotte's doing.
22:04Oh, uh,
22:05Nathan was here earlier.
22:06Didn't he let you know
22:07that we're good?
22:08Yeah.
22:09Yeah, he did.
22:10I just, I don't know,
22:11kind of went
22:11to see for myself.
22:13You could have
22:14saved yourself
22:14a drive and called.
22:17I heard what happened
22:18today at court
22:20how bad
22:20things look for Michael.
22:22You're gonna write
22:24about it?
22:25I know you have
22:26a lot of feelings
22:27wrapped up in this case.
22:30The guilt you still feel
22:31about what happened
22:33to Michael
22:33still eats at you
22:34every day.
22:36But you don't have
22:37to make up an excuse
22:38to stop by.
22:40We've been
22:41through too much
22:42together.
22:44You know I'm
22:45always here for you.
22:46I don't want
22:50Jacinda to get
22:51in trouble either.
22:52That's why I paid
22:53her to leave town
22:53because I thought
22:54I was trying
22:55to protect you.
22:56I figured
22:57with her gone
22:58it would be
22:59Ezra Boyle's
22:59word against yours
23:00and without her
23:01here to corroborate
23:02his account
23:03your alibi
23:05would remain intact.
23:07I didn't think
23:07she was gonna
23:08take the money
23:09and also
23:09show up in court.
23:11I thought she was
23:11a good person
23:12but obviously
23:13I was wrong.
23:13No, no, not
23:14exactly.
23:16Jacinda did come
23:17to the courthouse
23:18to try to warn me
23:19that something
23:19terrible was gonna
23:20happen.
23:21Oh.
23:23Okay, that's
23:23something.
23:24Yeah, but before
23:25she had the opportunity
23:26court resumed
23:27and she was called
23:27onto the stand.
23:29I just don't get
23:30why she didn't
23:31tell me about Ezra
23:32though.
23:32She had plenty
23:33of opportunities.
23:34Okay, well in her
23:35defense I don't think
23:36she was trying
23:36to make it worse
23:37for you.
23:38Yeah, I don't
23:38think so either.
23:39And I'm no
23:40innocent.
23:41I've told my
23:42fair share of lies.
23:43I'm just hoping
23:46that my lies
23:47haven't cost
23:48me my children.
23:52Willow, you
23:53are not taking
23:54the stand.
23:55We have been
23:56over this.
23:57Turner will
23:57destroy you.
23:58I can stand
23:59up to her.
24:00Can you?
24:01Because Turner
24:02will put you
24:02up on the stand
24:03and ask you
24:04about your
24:04whereabouts
24:05that night.
24:06And if you
24:06go on record
24:07and say that
24:08you weren't there
24:08and then they
24:09find the video
24:10footage, you
24:11have committed
24:11perjury.
24:12or if you
24:14say that you
24:15were in the
24:16vicinity, if you
24:16want to come
24:17clean, you will
24:18ruin all the
24:19progress that I've
24:20made.
24:20But they might
24:21not find that
24:22footage.
24:23Do you want to
24:23take that risk?
24:24I don't.
24:25Because Turner is
24:27going to bring up
24:27your mother's
24:29affair with Drew,
24:30your failed
24:31wedding, your
24:33public hatred
24:34of Drew, your
24:35fake alibi, all
24:37of it.
24:37and you do
24:38have a history
24:39of breakdowns
24:40in court.
24:41I'd still
24:41want to...
24:42Turner is
24:42skilled.
24:43She is
24:43dangerous and
24:44she is
24:45relentless.
24:45So here is
24:46how this is
24:47going to go.
24:48Neither one
24:49of you are
24:50going to
24:50testify.
24:52Tomorrow I
24:52close.
24:53And after
24:54Willow is
24:55acquitted, if
24:55you want to
24:55do whatever
24:56you want with
24:56Michael, go
24:57for it.
24:58But I'm not
24:59going to have
25:00done everything
25:00that I've
25:01done and have
25:02you to blow
25:02it for me
25:03right now.
25:05Well, I got
25:05your taste, but
25:06didn't say what
25:07you needed.
25:08I would have
25:08been happy to
25:08fix something
25:09up.
25:10Oh, no,
25:11nothing like
25:12that.
25:13Thank you,
25:14though.
25:15We were
25:16actually just
25:17wondering, how
25:18close are you
25:19with your
25:19Uncle Michael?
25:20Well, we
25:21both lived on
25:21the estate
25:21before I
25:22moved out.
25:24He stayed
25:24at the gay
25:24house.
25:25He worked
25:25a lot, to be
25:26honest, and
25:26spent more
25:26time with
25:27Wiley than
25:27Amelia Y.
25:28That's
25:29perfect.
25:32Do you,
25:33by chance,
25:34know if
25:35Michael has
25:37a special
25:37ringtone for
25:38Wiley when
25:39he calls
25:40him?
25:40I don't
25:41know the
25:41answer to
25:41that.
25:42Well, is
25:42there any
25:42way that
25:43you could
25:43find out
25:44without just
25:44asking why?
25:45No, don't
25:45do that.
25:47Then I
25:47don't see
25:47how.
25:49I just
25:49don't feel
25:49right taking
25:50Wiley's
25:50phone.
25:51Okay, well,
25:51what if you
25:52encourage Wiley
25:54to call
25:55Michael, and
25:55you just
25:56happen to be
25:56with Michael
25:57when that
25:57happened?
25:58Gosh.
26:00You know
26:00this is
26:01weird, right?
26:02I know
26:02you have
26:03a reason
26:04for all
26:04this.
26:07But you're
26:08going to
26:08have to
26:08tell me
26:09what it
26:09is if
26:09you want
26:09my help.
26:16You trace a lot.
26:18Always a
26:19pleasure.
26:21Uh, I
26:22would like to
26:23know the
26:23status of my
26:24family's
26:24possessions.
26:25they are
26:27remarkably
26:28still
26:28completely
26:29absent from
26:30my home.
26:32Martin,
26:32what progress
26:34have you made
26:35in returning
26:35Tracy's items?
26:36You did say
26:37that you were
26:38going to speak
26:38to...
26:38I know,
26:39I know,
26:39I did,
26:40and I'm
26:40telling you,
26:41I swear I
26:42tried.
26:43It didn't
26:43work.
26:44Drew is
26:45next to
26:45impossible to
26:46find these
26:47days,
26:47especially
26:48now that
26:48Willow is
26:49on trial.
26:49Oh, my
26:50goodness,
26:50I guess I
26:51have to
26:51stop being
26:51so patient
26:52and send
26:52you to
26:53prison where
26:53you belong.
26:55You know,
26:58I, uh,
27:00I thought
27:03I was
27:04handling
27:04this
27:05investigation.
27:09I told
27:09Anna that
27:10I could
27:10separate
27:11me and
27:11Michael's
27:12brother
27:12from being
27:13a detective.
27:15I don't know,
27:16what is this
27:17whole time
27:17I've been
27:17investigating?
27:18I'm
27:18subconsciously
27:21steering
27:22suspicion
27:22away from
27:23Michael.
27:24You can't
27:25blame yourself
27:26for this.
27:27From what
27:27Tracy told
27:28me,
27:28she and
27:29Michael are
27:29the only
27:30ones that
27:30knew he
27:31was on
27:31Drew's
27:31street that
27:32night.
27:32How can
27:33you find
27:33evidence that
27:34didn't exist?
27:34It's not,
27:35it's not just
27:36that,
27:37it's,
27:37it's not
27:38just Michael,
27:39it's Gio,
27:41it's Rocco,
27:41it's like,
27:42it's like my
27:43instincts are
27:44off.
27:45You know,
27:46all my calls
27:46are wrong or
27:47bad.
27:48It's like,
27:49I'm not scared
27:50of not being
27:51able to trust
27:51Michael,
27:51I'm scared
27:52of not being
27:53able to trust
27:53myself.
27:57Are you
27:58implying I
27:58can't stay
27:59objective?
28:01You and
28:03Michael share
28:04a sister,
28:05your cousins,
28:05you grew up
28:06together,
28:06it's a fair
28:07question,
28:07I think.
28:08I'm not on
28:09the case.
28:10I'm doing
28:10Turner a quick
28:11favor by coming
28:12down here for
28:13a progress
28:13report.
28:14Turner keeps
28:15me on the
28:15sidelines because
28:16I have a major
28:17conflict of
28:18interest.
28:18Not just
28:19with Michael,
28:20my mother.
28:21And to tell you
28:22the truth,
28:23it's fine by
28:24me.
28:24There's too
28:25many people I
28:25care about
28:26involved in
28:26this case.
28:26It's better.
28:27I stay as far
28:28away as
28:28possible.
28:30Gio,
28:30what you're
28:31asking is
28:32totally fair.
28:33And if I
28:34could tell you
28:34everything,
28:36I would.
28:39But I
28:41can't.
28:42I can't
28:43elaborate.
28:44And I'm
28:45sorry.
28:46And I'm
28:47sorry.
28:47Because without
28:48knowing any of
28:48the details,
28:49I can't be
28:49involved in
28:50this, I
28:51am not
28:52going to
28:53lie to
28:54Wiley or
28:55grab his
28:55phone because
28:57he is a
28:57little kid.
29:00I already
29:00dragged Rock
29:00into something
29:01he had no
29:01business being
29:02involved in.
29:02I'm not
29:03going to make
29:03that same
29:03mistake with
29:04Wiley.
29:05I'm out.
29:06Gio.
29:10For doing
29:11this for
29:11Wiley.
29:14That's
29:14ridiculous.
29:15Okay, you
29:16are not
29:16leaving town.
29:17I don't
29:19know what's
29:19happening here.
29:20We got off
29:20on the wrong
29:21foot.
29:21My fault.
29:22I started a
29:23little too
29:23heavy.
29:24So why don't
29:25we just
29:25rewind it,
29:26okay?
29:27We'll just
29:27do what we
29:28do best,
29:29all right?
29:29And have a
29:29little fun,
29:30okay?
29:31No more
29:31talking about
29:32the future.
29:33A little
29:33drink, maybe
29:34a little
29:34something to
29:34eat, right?
29:36That'll take
29:37our mind off
29:38of everything.
29:38What do you
29:38say?
29:41I have
29:42nowhere else
29:42to be.
29:43Okay.
29:44Okay.
29:45All right,
29:46I'm gonna go
29:47get our
29:47drinks.
29:47I'll be
29:47right back.
29:48Don't
29:48move.
29:55I'm
29:55sure
29:56Jacinda has
29:56her reasons
29:57for not
29:57telling me
29:58about Ezra,
29:58but it
30:00doesn't
30:00matter.
30:01Not
30:01anymore.
30:03Now the jury
30:03knows that I
30:04lied about
30:04my whereabouts.
30:05They know
30:06that Tracy
30:06saw me
30:07on Drew's
30:07street and
30:07then Elizabeth
30:08placed me
30:09in her
30:09house alone
30:10right before
30:11the gun
30:11was found.
30:11I mean,
30:12hell,
30:12if I didn't
30:12know any
30:13better,
30:13I would
30:13have thought
30:13that I
30:14shot Drew
30:14too.
30:15I'm
30:16sure
30:16A.D.
30:16Turner
30:17is
30:17working
30:18to
30:18counter
30:18that
30:18testimony
30:19right now.
30:19It's not
30:20going to
30:20matter.
30:21Today was
30:21a huge
30:22win
30:22for the
30:22defense.
30:24And the
30:25jury,
30:25they have
30:26more than
30:26enough
30:26reasonable
30:27doubt
30:27to
30:27exonerate
30:28Willow.
30:30I'm
30:30sure
30:30Drew
30:31and Will
30:31are
30:31off
30:31celebrating
30:32somewhere
30:32right
30:32now.
30:38Alexis,
30:39you've
30:39been wrong
30:39before.
30:40You've
30:41made
30:41mistakes
30:41in this
30:42trial.
30:44Yeah,
30:44I have.
30:45lawyers
30:45sometimes
30:46make
30:46mistakes,
30:47but I'm
30:48not
30:48wrong this
30:48time.
30:49Well,
30:49you are
30:50if you
30:50still think
30:50you're
30:51the one
30:51calling
30:51the shots
30:52here.
30:57Trials
30:57are not
30:58brawls
30:58won by
30:59whoever throws
31:00the hardest
31:00punch.
31:02It takes
31:02skill,
31:03it takes
31:03endurance,
31:05it takes
31:05precision,
31:06and the
31:06one who
31:07makes the
31:08right moves
31:08at the
31:09right time
31:09wins.
31:10I'm
31:13going to
31:13hear the
31:13verdict,
31:14and I'm
31:14going to
31:14win.
31:16Maybe I'm
31:16not making
31:17myself clear,
31:18because you
31:20don't seem
31:20to be
31:21understanding.
31:23This is
31:23not a
31:24request,
31:25this is
31:26an order.
31:27You will
31:28put me on
31:29the stand
31:29tomorrow.
31:32Do I need
31:32to remind
31:33you what's
31:33at stake
31:33here?
31:34Because you
31:35had such a
31:36good day
31:36with Scowl
31:37the day
31:37after
31:37Christmas,
31:38I mean,
31:38I'm assuming
31:39you probably
31:39want more
31:39of those,
31:40right?
31:42Well,
31:43then act
31:43like it.
31:48It's your
31:49goal.
31:51You want
31:52to testify,
31:53go for
31:54it.
31:55Don't say
31:56I didn't
31:56warn you.
32:02So,
32:03the
32:04common
32:05denominator
32:06was Michael,
32:06I'm Gio,
32:08and Rocco
32:08is,
32:10well,
32:10that's me,
32:11right?
32:14You are
32:14being very
32:15hard on
32:15yourself right
32:16now.
32:18And you
32:19questioning
32:20your judgment
32:21and caring
32:22so much,
32:23those are
32:23the things
32:24that make
32:24you so
32:24good at
32:25what you
32:25do.
32:26Well,
32:27I appreciate
32:29that,
32:29but...
32:30No,
32:30no,
32:30no.
32:32No buts.
32:34You can
32:34point out
32:35the few times
32:35that you have
32:36been wrong,
32:36but I
32:37will point
32:37out all
32:38the times
32:38that you
32:39have been
32:39right.
32:40And as
32:41much as
32:41I hate
32:41to admit
32:42it,
32:43there are
32:44way more
32:44of those.
32:49There's
32:49nothing new,
32:50but we'll
32:50keep looking.
32:52I promised
32:52Dante I'd put
32:53eagle eyes on
32:53this,
32:53so I'm on
32:54it.
32:54this is
32:57helpful.
33:01Between ADA
33:02Turner,
33:04my mother,
33:05Dante,
33:06and yourself,
33:07I am sure
33:08that truth
33:09and the
33:10system will
33:10prevail.
33:12I'm moving
33:12forward.
33:13I will be
33:13meticulous.
33:15All right,
33:15no shortcuts,
33:16no mistakes,
33:16no missed
33:17details.
33:17Every lead
33:18will be
33:18followed,
33:19and I
33:19will
33:19personally
33:20go over
33:21every piece
33:21of evidence.
33:22It's the
33:22only way
33:23to make
33:24sure the
33:24justice
33:25is served.
33:27What Trina
33:28and I
33:28are trying
33:29to do
33:29could
33:29exonerate
33:30Wiley's
33:31mom,
33:31so he
33:32and his
33:32sister
33:32could be
33:33back
33:33with
33:33their
33:33mom.
33:34But to
33:35do that,
33:35we do
33:36need
33:36Wiley
33:36to call
33:37his
33:37dad.
33:39Please,
33:39Joe,
33:40just
33:40trust us
33:41on this.
33:42You
33:42want me
33:43to trust
33:44you,
33:44when you
33:45won't even
33:45trust me
33:45with the
33:46details.
33:46I just
33:48don't feel
33:49right about
33:50that.
33:51I can't get
33:52involved.
33:53But this is
33:54about the
33:54truth,
33:55and we
33:55both know
33:56what it's
33:57like to
33:57have that
33:58kept from
33:58us.
34:00Look,
34:00I can't
34:01promise
34:01that no
34:02one will
34:03get hurt,
34:04but we
34:04can't just
34:05sit by
34:07and let
34:09the truth
34:09stay hidden
34:10like it
34:10was from
34:11us.
34:12Listen,
34:14no one
34:15values the
34:15truth more
34:16than I
34:16do.
34:16I
34:17know.
34:19A simple
34:20phone call,
34:21it's what
34:21it takes
34:21to help
34:22the truth
34:23come out.
34:25I'll
34:26help
34:26for
34:28a while
34:28in
34:29Amelia.
34:33Are you
34:34sure we're
34:34okay?
34:35Yeah,
34:36I know
34:36that you've
34:37done your
34:37best to
34:37stay
34:37neutral.
34:39Hey,
34:39I'm
34:39sorry
34:39about
34:40Jacinda.
34:41I know
34:41you guys
34:42are working
34:42towards
34:43something
34:43really
34:43special.
34:45Yeah,
34:45I thought
34:46so,
34:46too.
34:47Listen,
34:48if she
34:48came to
34:49the
34:49court,
34:50that means
34:50she cares
34:51about you
34:51a lot,
34:51and maybe
34:53she hasn't
34:53left town
34:53yet.
34:55I hope
34:55she didn't.
34:56I know
34:57it's a long
34:57shot,
34:58but I hope
34:59she stayed
35:00how to explain
35:01things,
35:02and I don't
35:04know,
35:04maybe we
35:05could sort
35:05things out
35:06between
35:06between us.
35:06between us.
35:25Tracy,
35:25you're right.
35:28I'm wrong,
35:30and you won.
35:31I will
35:32never cross
35:33you again,
35:34and I'm
35:36going to do
35:36everything I
35:37possibly can
35:38to get you
35:39back your
35:40family heirlooms.
35:45Baby
35:45sister,
35:46what more
35:48need I say?
35:49I love you.
35:51I love you,
35:52too.
35:57May I?
35:58Please.
36:04I hope
36:06that the
36:06friction
36:07between me
36:07and your
36:08brother
36:08doesn't
36:09affect
36:09your
36:09relationship
36:10with him.
36:10Look,
36:11Tracy,
36:11you have
36:11every right
36:12to be angry
36:12with Martin
36:13for the
36:13things that
36:14he did
36:14with Ronnie,
36:16but I
36:17really hope
36:18that one
36:20day the
36:22two of you
36:22will be
36:22able to
36:23get past
36:24this.
36:28Well,
36:32you missed
36:32all the
36:33excitement.
36:34For a
36:34minute there
36:34it looked
36:34like the
36:35charges
36:35against
36:35Willow
36:36were going
36:36to get
36:36dropped,
36:36but then
36:37they found
36:37new evidence.
36:40Unfortunate
36:40for Willow.
36:42Yeah.
36:43Yeah,
36:43it is.
36:44I'm not
36:45looking forward
36:45to testifying
36:46against her.
36:48Because you're
36:49worried about
36:49sending your
36:50children's mother
36:51to prison?
36:51Or you're
36:52worried about
36:53perjuring
36:54yourself on
36:55the stand?
36:55Michael,
36:59I'm going
36:59to do
37:00everything I
37:01possibly can
37:02to protect
37:02you for
37:02Monica's sake
37:03and for
37:03your children's
37:04sake.
37:05But you
37:06and I both
37:07know that
37:07I'll be
37:07lying.
37:08I saw you
37:08clear as
37:09day parked
37:09in front
37:10of Drew's
37:10moments
37:11before I
37:13found him
37:13on the
37:14floor of
37:14his living
37:15room with
37:15two boat
37:16holes in
37:16his back.
37:25We were
37:27so close.
37:28All those
37:29two had
37:29to do
37:30was just
37:30sit back
37:31and let
37:31me do
37:31my job
37:32and now
37:32Drew's
37:33going to
37:33take the
37:33stand?
37:34How the
37:34hell is
37:34that going
37:35to play
37:35out?
37:36Drew just
37:36made winning
37:36this case
37:37a whole
37:37harder.
37:40Hey,
37:41don't worry.
37:43When I
37:44take that
37:44stand tomorrow,
37:45I am going
37:46to make
37:47Michael look
37:47so guilty
37:48the jury
37:49will have
37:49no choice
37:50but to
37:51acquit you.
37:52And when
37:53the visitation
37:55hearing finally
37:55happens,
37:56there will
37:57only be one
37:58parent standing
37:59in that
37:59courtroom and
38:00that is you
38:01because Michael
38:02will be behind
38:02bars where
38:04he belongs.
38:05I hope so.
38:07This
38:07has nothing
38:09to do with
38:09it.
38:11It's a promise.
38:13Tomorrow
38:14is going to
38:14change
38:16everything.
38:19You'll see.
38:22on the next
38:32general hospital.
38:33I didn't want
38:33to do that.
38:34Well, then fix it.
38:35We have a chance
38:36to get the truth
38:36right now.
38:37You're here,
38:38Nuresh.
38:39I'm sorry.
38:39You are
38:40our best shot
38:41at turning that
38:42around.
38:42I am here
38:43to set the record
38:43straight.
38:44You gotta
38:45believe that.
