00:00Happy New Year.
00:02Happy New Year.
00:04I don't know about you, but this New Year is off to a great start.
00:09It is.
00:16Pancakes? I...
00:19Well, I made way too much, so you better stay for breakfast.
00:22You had me at pancakes.
00:25Hope you don't mind. I borrowed some of your things.
00:28It looks good on you.
00:30I mean, it looked better off, but...
00:32Oh.
00:36Thank you so much for coming over on such short notice.
00:40Ace's nanny called in sick.
00:42That's a drag.
00:44Yeah, it is for all of us.
00:46I mean, I wouldn't have called you, except that...
00:48Well, I have someone coming over to the house for a meeting,
00:51and I won't be able to keep an eye on Ace.
00:53I knew the mayor worked all the time, but I thought you'd get today off.
00:57Yeah, well, apparently some things can't wait.
01:01Anyway, um...
01:03I, uh...
01:05I don't know how long I'm going to be.
01:08But, uh...
01:10I can't look after him until, uh...
01:13Until it's over.
01:15No problem.
01:17How about we get out of your hair?
01:19Sure.
01:20Maybe I could take Ace to the park.
01:22Unless you'd prefer we stay home.
01:25If you're worried about my father.
01:28Thank you for tearing yourself away from the office, son.
01:32On a holiday.
01:34Billable hours are billable hours.
01:36So, what was so urgent that I couldn't wait till I got home?
01:40You work with Alexis Davis.
01:43Her last day in court was, to put it mildly, a disaster.
01:48Alexis is a brilliant attorney.
01:50I'm sure she can salvage the case.
01:52Really? Can she?
01:54Or, as the damage done, is Willow Tate going to prison?
02:00So, the digital file is still there, but everything that was tracing Willow's movements
02:04at the end of the shooting, it's been corrupted or tampered with.
02:07Oh!
02:08Is there anyone in your department that could have done this?
02:11You know, a few days ago you asked me that, I would have said not a chance.
02:13But the way this trial is going, I guess we can't rule anything up.
02:17How bad is this for the case?
02:21Losing that footage was a blow.
02:24But, by the time we adjourned, Alexis had herself on the ropes.
02:28Yeah, well, she's not going to stay on the ropes.
02:30She's going to bounce off and hit back even harder.
02:32Let's just start with your investigation.
02:35So, if I'm going to secure a conviction, you're going to have to be ready to defend
02:38every action taken by the PCPD.
02:42That's for coming by, son.
02:44Yeah, no problem. What's up?
02:46I ran into ADA Turner and there's something about the trial I think you should know about.
02:54Would you do me a favor and organize these exhibits for evidence
02:59and then submit a new witness list for the prosecution?
03:06You're changing your strategy.
03:08I am.
03:10We're going after a person that's more suspicious than Willow.
03:14Michael Corinthos.
03:15Michael Corinthos.
03:17So, rather than going after a broad array of suspects on who could have shot Drew, that we focus on one simple, plausible scenario.
03:27Michael Corinthos.
03:28I know things didn't go as we had hoped with Dr. Robinson.
03:31Yeah, that's an understatement.
03:32But reasonable doubt is reasonable doubt.
03:35There's still a long list of suspects.
03:37That's true.
03:38That's true.
03:39But going after several suspects at once, I think it's just too confusing for the jury.
03:44So I think it's better if we just present one clear view of what happened at Drew's house that night.
03:51And that makes sense.
03:52But I have to ask, are you taking your lead from the anonymous letter you were saying?
03:58No.
03:59No, of course not.
04:00No.
04:01It's unsubstantiated.
04:02But I'm going to do everything in my power to prove that what was in that letter is in fact true.
04:10Well, I can defend our investigation.
04:12We followed the evidence.
04:13It took us a lot of places, but ultimately to Willow, Anna built a strong case.
04:18A strong circumstantial one.
04:21Well, we have phone records that show that Willow's cell pinged off a tower near Drew's house.
04:28That's hardly a smoking gun.
04:29But it's not nothing.
04:30I mean, it was the one piece of evidence that Anna was missing when she left.
04:35That traffic cam footage.
04:36And now we're missing it too.
04:38Yeah, we had it.
04:39We know Willow was in the vicinity of Drew's house at the time of the shooting.
04:42But the jury doesn't know that.
04:44And with that traffic cam footage gone, we have to proceed like we never had it to begin with.
04:49And Alexis will use that evidence gap to create doubt that Willow was our shooter.
04:54Which means she'll be looking for someone else to pin it on.
04:58Like she did with Portia?
05:00But that didn't work out too well, did it?
05:02There are other suspects.
05:04And I don't want to be blindsided because we cleared someone who could still be viable.
05:08You mean, uh, Michael?
05:11Him too?
05:12But I also want to know what the hell Curtis Ashford was doing with Selena Wu and his club.
05:18I know there's no need to rush into anything.
05:20And we should take this day by day.
05:24Okay.
05:25But I don't want to be one of those couples that get back together just to make the same old mistakes.
05:34Right.
05:35I was thinking the same thing because after last night, I can't believe we were ever apart.
05:41How did we manage to mess up something so good?
05:46Yeah.
05:47Well, there were a lot of different reasons.
05:49But whatever we did, we thought our relationship could withstand it.
05:54And that it would always be there.
05:57We won't take it for granted this time.
06:00And in order to do that, we need to make our relationship a priority.
06:04Right from the beginning.
06:07Except for Trina.
06:09They both can be my priority.
06:12This time, I'm gonna do it right.
06:18Alexis is an excellent attorney.
06:21And Drew has given her more than enough motivation to win.
06:25And what happened with Portia Robinson.
06:28That was a rare misstep.
06:30Well, I hope you're right.
06:32Because if Willow Tate is convicted of shooting Drew, he'll be useless to me on the hill.
06:38There'll be no chance of getting him re-elected.
06:41And if he's impeached and convicted for blackmail?
06:45Oh, even worse.
06:47Either way, we'll have to find a new ally in Washington.
06:50So that our import businesses remain intact.
06:54Fortunately, I have the local politicos where I want them.
07:00Mayor Collins did a great job at the press conference, announcing the sale of the piers.
07:06She was convincing.
07:08But Laura, she's a resourceful and determined woman who does not enjoy being told what to do.
07:17So, what do we do about that?
07:20We must never let her forget what she stands to lose.
07:24Ace will be perfectly safe with me, I promise.
07:28I've got a uniform cop tailing me wherever I go, not to mention the surveillance the WSB must have me under.
07:33Yes, I'm sure they do.
07:35So, if you're worried about me running off with my dad while I have Ace...
07:39No, honey, of course not.
07:41I am not worried about that.
07:43I trust you.
07:44If I didn't, I wouldn't have asked you to babysit at all.
07:48Come sit with me for a minute now.
07:50I honestly don't think that your dad would ever try to approach you in broad daylight anyway.
07:56I keep telling people I don't see him approaching me at all, but no one wants to hear it.
08:00That is not because they don't respect what you're saying.
08:04It's because they respect your father's ingenuity a little bit more.
08:09You know, it's your father's history here.
08:11That's why people are being kind of hyper-vigilant.
08:14No one wants me to get snatched on their watch.
08:18I don't really think that's what they're worried about, sweetheart. I don't.
08:24Anyway, the reason that I hesitated when you mentioned going to the park is that, well, to be frank, Ace is a real handful right now.
08:33So me you trust completely?
08:34Mm-hmm.
08:35Ace, on the other hand...
08:37Would gladly walk right up to a pack of coyotes.
08:41Really, or out into traffic.
08:43You know, I just want you to sign up for more than you bargained for.
08:47And I know that he's going to be perfectly happy in his room.
08:49It's such a nice day out.
08:51Plus, if I take that tiny chaos machine out, he can burn off some of his taller energy.
08:55That way, you can have your meeting in peace.
08:58And he'll be too tired to drive you crazy when we get back.
09:03Don't be silly. My grandson is a pure joy all the time.
09:07And I believe you mean that.
09:09No.
09:11Please, sweetheart.
09:13Please, Grandma.
09:14I promise I'll keep a close eye on him.
09:18Okay. All right. Fine. You can go.
09:20Thank you, Grandma. I promise you won't regret it.
09:22I know I won't.
09:23And Charlotte.
09:26You're a real lifesaver.
09:28Mom? Molly?
09:31I can't find my charger. Have you guys seen it?
09:47What are you doing?
09:48What the hell, Mom?
09:50Do you not know these are privileged?
09:55I don't care. You're framing my brother for something he didn't do?
10:06I hope you don't think I'm a bad influence.
10:09Why would I think that?
10:11Well, what happened last night?
10:16I don't have any regrets.
10:20My sister told me I need to start living my life.
10:25Last night, I think I finally did.
10:28I'm glad I could help.
10:30I can't believe how lucky I am.
10:32I thought it was a long shot that you'd want to come back here with me.
10:35I didn't want the night to end.
10:38I don't want the morning to either.
10:41Hmm.
10:42It doesn't have to.
10:44We could spend the day together.
10:47Go riding.
10:49Maybe watch a movie.
10:51Did they ever make a sequel to Titanic?
10:54It's not a sequel, but they did make a movie where they go down to the wreckage
10:57and then raise the Titanic.
11:00But I was thinking we could do something else.
11:05Oh, Cody, why are you carrying Molly? Is she hurt?
11:20What have you got for me?
11:21Oh, Miss Davis's revised witness list.
11:30Take a look at this, Commissioner.
11:32Tell me what you think Alexis is up to.
11:42Since when do you hang out with the ADA?
11:44Uh, well, I was supposed to meet Brick at Cafe Cherie.
11:51And last minute he canceled.
11:53And I got up and I looked to my left and there was Justine having dinner alone.
11:58And so I thought I'd say hi to Ruby before I left.
12:03Justine, you're on a first name basis with the ADA.
12:07I'm cultivating a friendship.
12:08You know, I thought it would be useful.
12:11For you or for her?
12:12Well, friendship goes both ways.
12:15I mean, don't get me wrong.
12:17I think she likes me a little bit.
12:20But, you know, she wouldn't hesitate to take me down.
12:24That woman doesn't take her eye off the ball.
12:26So, am I the ball or is it you?
12:32In general, I am.
12:34But today...
12:35Right.
12:37Did you get subpoenaed?
12:39I'm already on Alexis' witness list.
12:42Alright, that means you're in between two incredible lawyers who are going to use your testimony to their advantage.
12:48You're going to be a target for both of them.
12:53It is one thing to be throwing suspicion onto Michael as a possible suspect, but it is another to be actively building a case against him.
13:02Aside from everything else that is going on, it is my fiduciary duty to defend my client to the best of my ability.
13:09And this daughter is what it looks like.
13:11No, it doesn't.
13:12That looks like you are prepping witnesses to falsely accuse Michael of shooting Drew.
13:16Can you testify to his innocence? Can you give him an alibi that is even halfway believable?
13:23No, I can't.
13:24Because I have investigated every aspect of this case, and I have looked at all the evidence and all of the suspects,
13:32and I firmly believe that if the police had done their job, Michael would be on trial and not Willow.
13:41Gentlemen, Happy New Year.
13:44Happy New Year.
13:46правad.
13:49Oh.
13:51I'm going to take this outside.
13:57So, that's it?
14:01You just say Happy New Year and go on with your day.
14:07Stop and make nice with the boss?
14:09Sidwell's not like that.
14:10Really?
14:11Yeah. I mean, if he needed to talk to me, he'd be talking to me.
14:15Otherwise, he respects that I have a personal life.
14:19Have you ever had a boss, or a job for that matter, where it was like that before now?
14:26Never.
14:27You know, it's funny.
14:28In many ways, Sidwell's a great boss.
14:33The work is engaging. It's challenging.
14:36Exciting.
14:38I mean, don't get me wrong, I still have my own agenda.
14:42Good to know.
14:44But other than my suspicions about this underlying criminality, it's honestly the best job I've ever had.
14:52Okay, then, um, I think I should tell you this.
14:57I know we agreed to put our relationship first, but regarding Sidwell...
15:03You don't have to tell me everything.
15:08That said, I'm here if you need me.
15:11And I appreciate that.
15:14Listen, in case you're wondering, I know that this job with Sidwell is going to end at some point.
15:19But until then, I'm going to enjoy it.
15:26Right up until the moment I take him down.
15:33Madam Mayor!
15:34What a pleasure.
15:51Thank you so much for inviting me to your home.
15:53Shut up.
15:54Get in here.
15:55Now, now, I don't want anybody thinking that we're friends.
15:58But aren't we?
15:59Friends of a sort?
16:05No.
16:06Bye.
16:07Look, I know you're a very busy woman, so I will make this brief.
16:10I am a very busy woman, so spit it out.
16:13What does Sidwell want now?
16:16Hey, buddy.
16:17Uh, Felicia.
16:19Happy New Year.
16:20Looks like it could be.
16:22You don't seem hurt.
16:24No, I'm not.
16:26Cody was carrying me because I thought I saw a mouse.
16:29Ugh.
16:30Cool.
16:31Well, I mean, it's cool.
16:32It's cool to us, but not to...
16:34Got it.
16:36Uh, isn't James' writing lesson tomorrow?
16:39It was, but we moved it to today to work around your school schedule.
16:43Yes, we did.
16:45Yeah, well, I know we're a little bit early, but James was so excited about trying out his
16:49new saddle.
16:50Santa brought it.
16:52Oh, yes, and he had a little help from a very special elf.
16:56Grandma and Grandpa Mac let me stay up late to watch the fireworks.
17:00Did you see them last night?
17:02I sure did.
17:04They were great.
17:06You know, I could bring James back at another time.
17:09No.
17:10No, no, absolutely not.
17:13James has to try out his new saddle, and I should go see my mom.
17:18Only if you're sure.
17:19Totally.
17:20All right, well, I'll be back to pick you up in an hour.
17:24Can't I stay longer than an hour?
17:26Well, let's start with this and see how the morning shakes out.
17:29Nice to see you, Molly.
17:31You too.
17:34Ready for my lesson now?
17:36Huh.
17:40Alexis and Turner are going to set you up to say something you're going to regret.
17:45Yeah, I know.
17:46And Alexis, she's going to try to make a case that I'm a suspect in the shooting.
17:49I mean, she already has, but honestly, after what happened with Portia, I'm not too worried
17:54about it.
17:55That's not all.
17:57On cross, Turner's going to use you to establish Willow's questionable judge.
18:01And then she's going to make you say all the mistakes Willow has done right in front of
18:08the jury.
18:09Yeah, that makes sense.
18:10And then she's going to give you an opening to bury Willow.
18:16How is that a bad thing?
18:17It's worse than bad, Michael.
18:19It's a trap.
18:20You get on the stand in front of the jury, and you say how bad Willow is as a mother,
18:24how capable she is of violence.
18:27It's going to be all over the press, not to mention public records.
18:30Yeah, she deserves it.
18:31They're not your kids.
18:34You do something like that, Wiley and Amelia, at some point, are going to know what you think
18:42of their mother.
18:44And it's going to stay with them for the rest of their lives.
18:49So you're telling me that whatever's in those files proves that Michael shot Drew and Willow
18:54didn't?
18:55I don't have to prove that Willow didn't shoot Drew.
18:57I just need to provide reasonable doubt, and there appears to be plenty of it.
19:00Okay, so in your mind, you have no doubt that Michael did it?
19:03There doesn't need to be doubt.
19:05He's not the one on trial.
19:07Well, if you had it your way.
19:08If I had it my way?
19:10None of this is my way.
19:12Look, I have reason to believe that Michael was at the house the night Drew was shot,
19:18and Tracy Quartermain saw him.
19:20Yeah, I know.
19:21I saw it.
19:22I saw the anonymous note in your file.
19:24Are you kidding me?
19:25Someone may as well have cut words out of a magazine.
19:28Which is why I'm not submitting it as evidence.
19:30Mom, anyone could have sent you that note.
19:32I mean, did you dust it for fingerprints?
19:34Because if you had, I bet Drew's were probably all over that.
19:38He hates Michael so much that it's not enough for him that Willow go free.
19:43No, he has to make sure that Michael pays for Willow's crime also.
19:47And he is using you to make sure that happens.
19:49You expect me to get behind multiple helipads on Spoon Island?
19:56Helipads, plural.
19:57Well, I don't expect anything.
19:59The person with the expectations is Sidwell.
20:01Well, you're going to have to tell him that it's just impossible because the noise violations alone are...
20:05He also wants him on the piers as well.
20:07What?
20:07So, what do you want me to tell the boss, hmm?
20:11That you're going to take care of it?
20:13Or instead you are standing in the way of progress and commerce?
20:19The boss.
20:21Yeah.
20:21Makes you sound like a dime store hood.
20:23But then you would, wouldn't you?
20:26Look, Sidwell doesn't give a damn about a thriving economy in Port Charles.
20:31All he cares about is not getting caught in traffic on his way to the airport.
20:34Well, time is money.
20:36So, let him work remotely.
20:38He can do that, can't he?
20:40And then he'll never have to leave Spoon Island.
20:42Uh, you know, he won't go for that.
20:44No, he won't.
20:45Because he wants to land his privately owned helicopter on a public waterfront.
20:53Just because he can't be bothered to take the launch.
20:55That's not fair to the people of Port Charles.
20:59Well, that's why you're going to need to sell it to them.
21:01And if I refuse...
21:09Laura.
21:13Take my advice.
21:15Give Sidwell what he wants.
21:19You don't want to know what he's like when you don't.
21:23Yeah, thanks.
21:25Well, hello.
21:27Hi, do I know you?
21:30Not yet, no.
21:31But I do know your grandmother.
21:32And you must be Charlotte Cassidine.
21:35And I believe that this handsome young fellow is ace, is he not?
21:41Alexis is going to suggest that the PCPD focused on Willow Tate as the shooter prematurely.
21:52And we chose not to pursue another equally viable suspect who was right in front of us.
21:58Yeah, yeah.
21:59She's going to say that I'm biased and that my investigation was arbitrary.
22:03And not only because Michael is the ex-husband of the defendant, but he is a viable suspect himself.
22:10And she's going to say we chose not to pursue him because he's my brother.
22:15I would.
22:16But you're not worried?
22:17You know how to handle this, Dante.
22:19Just be consistent, methodical, and transparent.
22:24You know?
22:25Tell the truth.
22:26Well, that was always the plan, you know?
22:28I know.
22:28Just stick to the facts and be yourself.
22:31The jury will love you.
22:32Meanwhile, Alexis is going to come at me with everything she's got.
22:37And I'll object if necessary, but I doubt I'll have to.
22:40I think Alexis has dug her own grave and Willow Tate's along with it.
22:46Wow.
22:47Didn't realize that you had such low regard for my skills as an attorney.
22:51Of course I don't.
22:52That's not...
22:52Do you really think that I would build a case based on an anonymous letter without evidence to support it?
22:58You have other viable suspects.
22:59So why are you zeroing in on Michael?
23:02Because I zeroed in on Portia, and that turned out to be a fiasque.
23:06Now, I need to build the strongest case that I have to provide reasonable doubt for Willow.
23:12That's my duty.
23:14And not just for her, but for Scout and Sam.
23:19If you lash out on the stand about Willow, Amelia and Wiley are going to sooner or later find out what their father said about their mom.
23:33Dad, it's too late, all right?
23:34My kids already have to live with the knowledge that their mom chose Drew over them.
23:38I mean, Drew manipulated our son against me twice, and Willow didn't care.
23:41You got to rise up.
23:42Why?
23:43Why should I have to do that?
23:44How did you feel when your mother married the man who beat the hell out of you, huh?
23:48Now, Mike, you wasn't in your life at the time, but my kids, they have me, and they need to know I'm not looking the other way.
23:54They need to know that I know the truth about their mom, that she puts her needs over theirs, and they need to know that I would do anything to protect them.
24:02Anything?
24:03Anything?
24:03Look, don't shoot the messenger.
24:08Okay, that is my district, too.
24:09I live there.
24:10Those people are my constituents.
24:12On paper, perhaps.
24:14But you only care about one constituent, don't you?
24:16Yes.
24:16Yes, I do.
24:17And he wants telepads.
24:19Look, between us, I'm the one who's going to have to put up with that construction noise.
24:22I'm the one who's going to have to listen to those helicopters flying back and forth.
24:25Mm-hmm.
24:25Mm-hmm.
24:26And what about your other constituents?
24:28What are you going to tell them?
24:30Well, let's see.
24:32Publicly, I will be vehemently opposed to the helipads.
24:36I will say, oh, my goodness, I wish there was something I could do.
24:40Woe is me.
24:40Mayor Collins is much too powerful.
24:43Ezra.
24:44Ah.
24:45That's disgusting.
24:47Is this really what you want to be?
24:52To be Sidwell's messenger boy, his bootlicker?
24:56I mean, you must have cared about people at some point to have gone into politics.
25:03Hm.
25:05Not everyone is like you, Laura.
25:07It really is remarkable that you and your ethics have lasted this long.
25:15You make ethics sound like a dirty word.
25:18Just an inconvenient one.
25:21Don't make this so hard.
25:22From here on out, you need to be more selfish.
25:28You have to start looking out after yourself.
25:31Yeah, well, you would be the expert on that, wouldn't you?
25:33And you, being you, can do some good when you can, which won't be often.
25:42But knowing you, you'll manage.
25:46Thank you for your faith in me.
25:49I have faith in Sidwell's ability to get what he wants.
25:56Laura, if you give him what he wants, he can be the best friend you ever had.
26:00Do you still keep horses at Windermere?
26:04Well, oh, son, have you met Charlotte Cassidyne?
26:08I haven't had the pleasure.
26:10Marco Rios.
26:11Nice to meet you.
26:12And who's this?
26:13This is my little cousin, Ace.
26:14Hi, Ace.
26:15Nice to meet you.
26:17Yeah.
26:18You know that Charlotte used to live at Windermere with her father.
26:23Really?
26:24That must have been kind of spooky living there as a kid.
26:27It was.
26:28I prefer spooky.
26:30Our house has such a complicated history.
26:35My understanding, that is, if your uncle Nicholas had been presumed dead,
26:40it wouldn't even be our house.
26:42It would belong to Ace.
26:44Where are you going now?
26:45Uh-oh.
26:46I think Ace's loss of inheritance is a touchy subject.
26:50He's just ready for his nap.
26:52I was going to take him into Bobby's for a cookie, but I think I'd better get him home.
26:56Okay.
26:56Well, please give my regards to the mayor.
26:59I will.
27:00And please keep an eye on this young man.
27:03You know, children at this age, they could be so reckless.
27:06Curious explorers, trusting.
27:08Turn away for a second and boom.
27:10They're gone.
27:11Okay, well, that's not going to happen.
27:15But thanks for the tip.
27:17Let's go.
27:17Come on.
27:17Alexis did herself no favors with the jury when she showed them that she was willing
27:25to throw an innocent woman to the wolves on the off chance that it might save her client.
27:29It felt desperate.
27:31And the jury won't like her forcing Dr. Robinson to profess such profoundly personal things on
27:36the stand.
27:37Things that had no bearing on the case.
27:39Yeah, I heard about that with Portia.
27:41That sounds, uh, sounded rough.
27:44Even I felt bad for her.
27:46Which is why Alexis' move worked in our favor.
27:50Do you think the jury feels bad for Willow?
27:52It's hard to say.
27:54Alexis would never put Willow on the stand.
27:57She'd never hold up under cross.
27:59But on the other hand, a defendant who doesn't want to testify on their own behalf could make
28:04the jury suspicious.
28:06What about a cop whose brother is the defendant's ex?
28:10Like I said, you're professional and you're likable.
28:14Believe me, you've got this.
28:17Well, 88, Turner, I appreciate your faith in me.
28:20I'll work to keep earning it.
28:23Question, though.
28:24Are you prosecuting this case because it was Anna's investigation?
28:29Or do you think Willow's guilty?
28:34That Charlotte.
28:36What a charming girl.
28:37And potentially very useful.
28:40How so?
28:42Well, her father is Valentin Cassadine.
28:44Valentin Cassadine is a man of many talents.
28:48I could use someone like him in our current project.
28:51If only he weren't number one on the WSB's most wanted list.
28:55Well, he may be in the wind.
28:56But his daughter is in Port Charles, which means he can't be very far.
29:02When I look back at our marriage, I see a multitude of missed opportunities.
29:09I mean, there were so many times where we almost connected, but for whatever reason, we just didn't.
29:16Yeah, well, I had my job, my secrets, and you had yours.
29:24Both of us living in a world that we couldn't share with each other.
29:29And I don't want that to happen again.
29:32Neither do I.
29:32But there are still things that I can't tell you.
29:36And I'm sure there are things that you can't tell me.
29:39So, has our situation really changed?
29:45We went to the park, and then we went to Bobby's.
29:49Oh, did Ace get his cookie?
29:51No, he was getting pre-nap grumpy.
29:54Oh.
29:55How'd your meeting go?
29:57Better than I would have thought.
30:00Still agonizing, but it helped me a lot to know that you and Ace were having fun together.
30:06We did have fun, didn't we, Ace?
30:09Yes, we did.
30:14He really looks tired.
30:16I should probably get him up to his bed.
30:18I can do it.
30:19If you want.
30:20Actually, yes.
30:22That would be great.
30:22Thank you, sweetie.
30:23You hear that, kiddo?
30:24It's just you and me.
30:26Oh.
30:28What?
30:28I forgot.
30:29We, um, ran into Mr. Sidwell.
30:32He told me to give you his regards.
30:35Come on, Ace.
30:36Come on.
30:43How are those flapjacks, bud?
30:47Delicious.
30:50Molly, why were you wearing Cody's shirt before?
30:54Well, I was cold, and Cody is such a good guy that he let me borrow it.
31:00Um, thank you for last night.
31:07I had a lot of fun.
31:09Me too.
31:11Do it again sometime.
31:13Definitely.
31:14Give me a call.
31:15Cody, is Molly your girlfriend now?
31:19No.
31:19Yes.
31:23That's the beauty of the system.
31:25It doesn't matter what I believe or what you believe either.
31:29You're a cop with integrity.
31:30I am an officer of the court.
31:32We follow the letter of the law.
31:34Well, our responsibility is to present the facts in the best possible way we can, hoping that the truth comes out.
31:42Well, we gotta do a lot better than hope.
31:44True.
31:46Meanwhile, Alexis has to defend her client to the best of her ability.
31:50After both sides have had their say,
31:52the jury will decide.
31:58Of course I'd do anything for my kids, and I know what you're thinking.
32:01Yeah, what's that?
32:02That I could have taken Edward's gun at any time.
32:04That I could have shot Drew, and I could have paid Jacinda to be my alibi,
32:07and then I could have wiped that gun and waited for the perfect opportunity to plant it on Willow.
32:11Because just shooting Drew, that wouldn't have been enough.
32:13I needed to make sure that Willow was out of the picture.
32:14And then the front nail in the coffin, I'd have to get up on that stand
32:19and make sure that everyone knew exactly what Willow was capable of
32:23until they would put her away for good.
32:24Because then, and only then, would my kids finally be safe.
32:28So what are you telling me?
32:31That when I do finally get on that stand,
32:35everything I say will be for the benefit of my children.
32:40We can't see Scout if I don't exonerate Willow.
32:45And that little girl needs us, so we have to protect her.
32:49Of course we have to protect her.
32:51But why does that mean you have to sacrifice my brother in the process?
32:55That you love your brother.
32:56I know how loyal you are to him.
32:59But he is a grown-up, and he will be able to take care of himself.
33:04But he didn't do it!
33:05We don't know that.
33:08Christina, if you're thinking of warning your brother
33:12of the new direction that we're taking,
33:14I want you to remember that Scout's well-being is at stake.
33:20She is just a little girl.
33:22And she can't defend herself.
33:24But Michael is a grown man.
33:28And he's very capable of handling this.
33:31And he's going to have to.
33:33So, if we're right back where we started,
33:38how do we change where we're headed?
33:41Okay, how about this?
33:43I promise to be as open as I can about my work.
33:46So do I.
33:48In fact, let's make a promise.
33:50Right here, right now, that we will
33:52always have the difficult conversations
33:56that we would much rather avoid.
33:58Because
33:59whatever this is,
34:03what's happening between us now,
34:06that is the most important thing.
34:08Yes, Charlotte could be very useful
34:18bringing Valentin on board.
34:20Now I get it.
34:21Why you turned on the charm with her.
34:23Well, I'm a charming fellow.
34:25You certainly can be.
34:27And you were.
34:28Right up until the moment
34:29that you made a veiled threat against a child.
34:31That was hardly a threat.
34:33Come on.
34:35I was just sending Mayor Collins
34:37a message.
34:39Charlotte, thank you for everything you've done.
34:41Anytime.
34:42He's the cutest little monster ever.
34:44Um,
34:45I'm sorry, but I have to ask this.
34:48Do you know Jen Sidwell?
34:51No.
34:52He introduced himself.
34:54We mostly talked about Windermere.
34:56Um, he was nice.
34:58Except.
34:59Except what?
35:01After he told me to give you his regards,
35:04he told me I should keep an eye on Ace.
35:07He said,
35:08children are reckless at that age
35:10and you only have to look away for an instant
35:12and they're gone.
35:13Ah.
35:14Ah.
