00:14Thanks for coming.
00:17Sure.
00:22I appreciate that you want to do this in person.
00:29But moving forward, I think we should give each other some space.
00:34You're back with Maxie now.
00:35And that's the way it should be.
00:39If we just give each other some time, these feelings, whatever they are, they'll just go away.
00:45I don't think so.
00:48Because I'm not with Maxie.
00:51And I won't be.
00:54I've never seen Michael like that.
00:57Storming in furious and then accusing you of trying to frame him?
01:01I know. It was crazy. Thanks for having my back.
01:04Chase, I'm your wife. I will always have your back.
01:07But you need to be honest with me.
01:10Is Michael right?
01:11Are you trying to pin Drew shooting on him?
01:16Dr. Jones, are you not joining us for the zoo?
01:21Lucas, you're not leaving, are you?
01:30I really don't like you.
01:33So just say what you have to say.
01:36Well, I'm sure you're not alone in that sentiment, but I hope you listen to what I have to say
01:40anyway.
01:41Why'd you need to see me?
01:42It's about your friend, Dr. Westbourne.
01:45I think she's in serious danger.
01:50Come in.
01:57What do you think, Dr. Westbourne?
02:01You look tired.
02:04It's because I'm working two jobs.
02:06What do you want?
02:08I'm here because the work you're doing for us has progressed.
02:13It's clear I made the right choice in not killing you.
02:40What kind of danger?
02:43A director of the WSB.
02:46Ross Cullum.
02:47He's trying to find out more information about the Five Poppies operation.
02:52The only reason I'm alive is because he and Sidwell need me to complete my father's final project.
03:00Okay, so Cullum's partner or what?
03:03Worse.
03:04Worse? What could be worse than those two working together?
03:07Cullum working for the WSB.
03:11Why?
03:14Because there is one common denominator between what happened to the Five Poppies
03:19and the disappearance and the disappearance and mental breakdown of Anna Devane.
03:23Cesar Faison.
03:53I'm glad you're happy with my work.
03:55What's the point of the project?
03:56No, you don't.
03:59But this is all still theoretical.
04:01None of this has ever been done.
04:02Your numbers check out.
04:04There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to finish it and create a viable prototype.
04:10And that prototype needs to work.
04:13And what happens if it doesn't?
04:17Then I'll get someone who can make it work.
04:30I would love to stay, but I just got paged.
04:32I have to go into the hospital.
04:34Oh, right.
04:35You're on call.
04:35Sorry, I forgot about that.
04:37That's okay.
04:37That's why I didn't have any wine with dinner.
04:40But Pascal, I'm a little disappointed.
04:44Usually you have my schedule nailed down to the minute.
04:48Monsieur Lucas, I could not nail you down if my life depended on it.
04:53That's okay, Pascal.
04:55We're all entitled to an off day now and then.
04:59It's too bad you're going to miss dessert.
05:01Would you like, Pascal, to wrap something that you'd take it to the hospital?
05:04No, no, no, no.
05:05I don't want you to go through the trouble.
05:07I look forward to sneaking a few bites when I get back.
05:11Oh, all right.
05:12Very well.
05:13Uh, I'm going to walk Lucas out.
05:16Of course.
05:16Of course.
05:21If I don't wake up tomorrow, check Pascal's room for rat poison.
05:26I cannot get out of this house of horrors and away from that man fast enough.
05:30Okay, but you're coming back tonight, right?
05:34Of course.
05:35I really did get a text.
05:37I'm just going to work.
05:37Okay, just do me a favor.
05:41Please call and check in before you come back.
05:45What do you mean?
05:48Just wait to hear from me before you come back, please.
05:58I want the truth.
05:59I'm not trying to frame Michael.
06:01Come on, Chase.
06:02You didn't just happen to be holding Michael's keys.
06:05Wiley wouldn't lie about seeing you with them.
06:08Look, I don't know what Wiley saw.
06:10Okay, well, can we agree that it's not a coincidence that once you had Michael's keys, then the PCPD shows
06:19up here with a warrant?
06:22You know what, Chase?
06:23I would like some straight-up truth right now.
06:25Okay?
06:26We are alone.
06:27No one's hiding under the bed.
06:28So tell me, what did you actually do?
06:33What do you mean you're not back together with Max?
06:36Did you see her?
06:38Yeah.
06:41That must have been really disorienting for both of you.
06:45Yeah, that was surreal.
06:48Right, for her, it was like seeing a ghost.
06:52But in a good way, right?
06:57I mean, I remember Max used to wish that she could just see you one more time, and I mean,
07:05she got her wish.
07:07I'm sorry, I think I'm just really confused.
07:10If you two finally got to see each other again, why are you not together right now?
07:17Because I'm not who Maxie wants to be with.
07:22She made her choice.
07:23She wants to be with Spinelli.
07:26You didn't slap me because we kissed.
07:31You slapped me because this is complicated.
07:37Actually, it's very simple.
07:41That will never happen again.
07:52Now, everything I'm about to tell you is classified.
07:54This has to stay between us.
07:57You called me.
08:02Now, it's unclear what my WSB superiors and Ross Cullum already know about the Five Poppies operation beyond what I've
08:08told them.
08:09But Cullum aims to learn more.
08:12For me.
08:13I suggest you tell him as little as possible.
08:15I don't care what was going on at the Five Poppies.
08:19My concern was Britt and that she was okay.
08:21And that only changed when I found out you recruited Jocelyn and sent her there.
08:24Under no circumstances can you mention Jocelyn to Cullum.
08:28Why?
08:30Are you saying this guy's a danger to her?
08:32I'm saying I made a mistake.
08:34And now it's up to you to make sure that Jocelyn doesn't pay for it.
08:39I did not plant a key on Michael's key ring.
08:42If someone other than Michael put it there, it wasn't me.
08:46I already knew that, but it's good to hear you say that.
08:51But I am responsible for the police getting a warrant for Michael's keys.
08:55And I knew that a key to Drew's house would be found on Michael's key ring.
09:03Maxie decided to stay with Spinelli?
09:05Yeah.
09:08You seem surprised.
09:11I am.
09:12And it's not that I don't think that Spinelli is great, because he is.
09:17He's amazing.
09:21It's just, I remember what you and Maxie were like together.
09:29How much Maxie loved you.
09:31How much you loved each other.
09:35It's got a long time.
09:37You should move to him.
09:38Yes, okay.
09:39It's been a long time for Maxie, but...
09:44It's like it was yesterday for you.
09:47For you, it's seven years ago, and Maxie owns your heart.
09:55I am so sorry, Nathan.
10:07Uh-oh.
10:10Dare I ask who you're aiming for?
10:19Oh, hey, hey, hey.
10:21Hey.
10:22Thanks for coming by.
10:23Yeah, no problem.
10:24I got your message.
10:25So, how serious are these charges?
10:28Relax.
10:29Take a breath.
10:29No, I'll take a breath in a second.
10:31You said it was urgent, okay?
10:32If this is a timely legal matter, we need to get in front of it as soon as possible.
10:35Do you want me to call Diane and get her involved in this?
10:38Okay, okay, Rick.
10:39I think you misunderstood.
10:40I just wanted to run something by you urgently.
10:45Wait, has or has there not been a crime committed?
10:48I'm sure there is somewhere.
10:50I don't know.
10:54Is it a crime to kiss an acting district attorney?
11:03Michael's keys were on the table.
11:04My gut was telling me something was off, so I took the keys to Drew's house just to test them
11:10to see if one of them opened Drew's door.
11:12I knew it was a long shot, but I had to see if my instincts were right, and they were.
11:16One of the keys unlocked Drew's front door.
11:19And you assumed that Michael shot Drew?
11:22I didn't have to assume.
11:23I had physical evidence.
11:24No, the only evidence you had was that Michael had the key.
11:26Do you really think that Michael would be so stupid as to frame Willow and then keep a key to
11:32Drew's house on his key ring?
11:33Because I really don't.
11:35Maybe he didn't know that...
11:36Okay, just stop.
11:37Let's just set all that aside for a second, okay?
11:42How did it go from you discovering that Michael had a key to Drew's house?
11:46To a warrant being issued and Michael being questioned.
11:50I knew that what I'd done had broken the chain of evidence.
11:53I'd taken Michael's keys and tested them without a warrant, so I knew that anything I would find would be
11:58inadmissible.
11:59I had no choice.
12:01I had to arrange for the evidence to be discovered by someone else.
12:08Maxie said that she loves me, and she always will.
12:11But her heart belongs to Spinelli, and that's the man that she's supposed to spend the rest of her life
12:16with.
12:17And her decision makes total sense to me when we talked about this.
12:22Her life looks totally different now.
12:23She's got three kids, a career that she loves.
12:27So much has happened in Maxie's life in the years that I was gone.
12:35She had all these experiences without me, all these things that I know nothing about.
12:39And what Maxie and I had was seven years ago.
12:44It where we can't be expected to be the same people.
12:47Or have the same feelings.
12:53That's a really generous assessment.
12:57But I have to ask.
13:01What would have happened if Maxie had chosen you?
13:07So, this is a little different than the last place we ran into each other.
13:12I'm not feeling the same peace and harmony I did when we were meditating and doing up-dog.
13:19Yeah.
13:20Yoga's not going to come right now.
13:22I'm not feeling very peaceful or harmonious.
13:26Yeah.
13:27I sensed that when you called.
13:31Well, thanks for meeting me anyway.
13:33Of course.
13:36So, what's got you throwing sharp things at wood?
13:42I did something incredibly stupid and unprofessional tonight.
13:48Something to do with Sonny Kernthus?
13:53All right.
13:54Before we go any further here, thank you.
13:57Let's just tell me.
13:58Yeah.
13:59Was the Hattic district attorney a willing participant in this kiss?
14:04Because if not, yeah, she was.
14:08The kiss was definitely mutual.
14:12I mean, I beat up creeps like, you know, try to force myself on women, you know that?
14:17All right.
14:17I just had a check.
14:18That's all.
14:18All right.
14:19I got to work with a kiss.
14:22But she did kind of push me away and slap me across the face.
14:30And we just went from maybe not great to very, very bad.
14:35No, not like that.
14:36I think you rushed from the judgment.
14:38Christine and I, we've been getting close the last few months.
14:43Well, yeah, I know you two have been on a first name basis.
14:46Right.
14:47But then you did seem pretty cozy when she ran into us at the Metro Court.
14:53There it is.
14:54Oh, okay.
14:54I need a little bit more information than that.
14:56Okay.
14:59So, where did this kiss happen?
15:02Were there any witnesses?
15:04We were at the brown dog.
15:06I was with Gio.
15:07Uh-huh.
15:07She walked in.
15:08Yeah.
15:09And we had a little conversation.
15:12She left, and I followed her outside.
15:14Wait, wait, wait, wait, time, time.
15:16You followed her?
15:17I didn't stalk her, Rick.
15:19God.
15:20I followed her.
15:24And I don't think any witnesses saw us, at least not the kiss.
15:28She was getting herself worked up over work stuff, and she got emotional,
15:33and we kind of got caught up in the moment, and things happened.
15:41And then she slapped you?
15:44I've had it worse.
15:46What a relief.
15:48So then she said that this is never going to happen again,
15:54and she left, and I didn't stop her.
15:57Okay.
15:57Sonny, I truly believe that everything transpired the way you said it.
16:04But that's not going to stop Turner from twisting it around and characterizing it,
16:09and at the very least, is unwanted attention.
16:11She could accuse you of harassment.
16:15Rick, I don't think she would do something like that.
16:23Now that I know what Sidwell McCormick want from you,
16:26I can help you get out.
16:29Okay.
16:32I have faith in you.
16:36Good.
16:37And I don't want you to be afraid going back into the real world.
16:43Because walking out of this place is the first step in setting you free.
16:49Come in.
16:54Dr. Jones, if you need a consultation, get it from someone else.
16:58I'm in the middle of something.
17:01That's an understatement.
17:03I know that you're being extorted by Jen Sidwell and Margot.
17:10I had my reasons for recruiting Jocelyn.
17:13But if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't.
17:16You put her in this position.
17:18Yes, I did.
17:21But I have also taken precautions.
17:24I siloed Jocelyn off.
17:26Her entire record as an agent has been blacked out.
17:29And as far as the Five Poppies is concerned,
17:31she was never named as an agent on site.
17:33There's nothing connecting her to that operation.
17:34If there was no trouble, if she wasn't in trouble,
17:37we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
17:39Jocelyn is not on Cullum's radar, and it has to stay that way.
17:45Because?
17:47Jocelyn has an unassuming presence that gets her enormous access.
17:51More importantly, she has money and connections.
17:55To you, Sonny.
17:57And that makes her a valuable agent.
18:00I was judicious in how I deployed her.
18:03Cullum will not be.
18:05You thought the Five Poppies was a safe assignment?
18:10Very comparatively.
18:14Close mortar.
18:16Agent Brennan,
18:18it appears you started my meeting and found me.
18:22You must be Jason Morgan.
18:28If you and Marco are fighting, leave me out of it.
18:30I'll have time for whatever today's drama is.
18:33I overheard Marco and his dad talking.
18:35I know they have you working on some illegal project,
18:38and they're threatening your life if you don't cooperate.
18:40I don't know what you're talking about, okay?
18:42You must have misunderstood whatever it was you heard.
18:45I confirmed it with Marco.
18:48I confronted him.
18:50He told me everything.
18:52Then he's an absolute idiot.
18:56We discussed this, and yet there you were,
18:59putting your hostility towards Lucas on display for him and my son to see.
19:04Lucas Jones is a duplicitous liar.
19:07He will lead Marco to ruin,
19:09and you and the entire enterprise with it,
19:11if you're not careful.
19:13I will deal with my son and Lucas.
19:18You make sure you never alert them to our concerns again.
19:25That'll be all, Pascal.
19:27Thank you so much.
19:30My dear boy, join me for an after-dinner drink.
19:34Dad, I've been thinking,
19:38with Lucas's commute and his crazy on-call schedule,
19:42maybe it's best that we find a place on the mainland.
19:46Absolutely not.
19:48I have Dr. Westbourne coming and going,
19:51columns breathing down my neck.
19:52No, you need to facilitate.
19:54I know, and that might be all the more reason for me to
19:57encourage him to move out and find a place of his own.
20:00I don't understand where this is coming from.
20:04Has Lucas been complaining about his living arrangements?
20:07Does he not want to be here?
20:11Director Cullum,
20:12I was just telling Mr. Morgan how you have some additional questions for him.
20:16One or two.
20:18Well, then I'll hand Mr. Morgan off to you.
20:27I know you're a busy man.
20:28I appreciate you coming here to debrief with me.
20:31I assume you know why you're here.
20:33I don't know a damn thing.
20:36And just like I had no intention of talking to Brendan,
20:41I have no intention of talking to you.
20:45We both know that Justine's ambitious.
20:48Very ambitious.
20:49Oh, yes.
20:49But you're not corrupt.
20:51Oh, so you're relying on Justine Turner having too much integrity
20:56to take advantage of the potential opportunity to take you down.
21:01She's not going to make up some false harassment allegation.
21:04That's not her style.
21:06Sonny, she doesn't have to make up anything
21:07if her interpretation of the events differs from yours.
21:10Look,
21:12Do me a favor, okay?
21:14For my peace of mind,
21:15if not yours.
21:17You say that you and Justine Turner
21:19have been getting to know one another?
21:23Exactly how much interaction have the two of you had?
21:29Did you rent out the entire space for the night?
21:33No customers, no staff.
21:35We will not be seen in public.
21:38You can eat lasagna,
21:40throw a hatchet.
21:41Your reputation will be intact.
21:45Well, that's very considerate.
21:49Unless, of course, this is a trap.
21:52Hey.
21:54Have the two of you
21:56ever crossed a line before?
21:59There's this case my office is dealing with.
22:02Well, there was a case
22:04that because of the breach in the chain of custody,
22:07we can't use the evidence
22:08and there's no provable case anymore.
22:10No wonder you're frustrated.
22:12You get so close just to
22:14have something out of your control
22:15to derail your case.
22:17I'm so sorry.
22:19Thanks.
22:20I was furious
22:23and so I decided to have a drink
22:25of a brown dog
22:26and
22:28who should I bump into
22:29offering a sympathetic ear?
22:32Oh.
22:33Poor Charles,
22:35number one alleged crime lord.
22:37I know.
22:38Yeah, and I am guessing that
22:41you didn't tell him
22:42in a sympathetic ear to leave.
22:43Oh, no.
22:44No, no, no.
22:45Because that would have been
22:45the smart thing to do.
22:47Instead, I
22:50let my guard down
22:51and open up to him.
22:53And the crazy part is
22:54it still doesn't feel like
22:56he was angling for anything,
22:58like he was
22:59genuinely listening to me
23:01as a friend.
23:06How foolish am I
23:07to even consider that?
23:11Well, I don't know.
23:14Maybe you're not foolish at all.
23:18I'm sorry.
23:19I didn't mean to put you on the spot.
23:21That's all right.
23:22It's all good.
23:28If Maxie had chosen me,
23:33then I would have honored that.
23:36I'd have loyalty,
23:37I'd have respect for our marriage
23:39and everything that's happened.
23:42And for James.
23:45But, Lou,
23:46before Maxie woke up,
23:48something was happening between us,
23:49something that means a lot to me.
23:51And if the decision was mine to make,
23:55then I would choose to pursue that.
23:59I would choose you.
24:02I returned Michael's keys to the house.
24:04I tried to make it look like
24:06he dropped them by accident.
24:08And that must have been what Wiley saw.
24:10Then I suggested to Nathan
24:12that to cover all their bases,
24:13the PCPD should see
24:15if Michael had a key to Drew's house
24:17in his possession.
24:18You manipulated your fellow officers
24:20to find evidence
24:22that you knew would be inadmissible otherwise?
24:25It's only inadmissible
24:26if anyone can prove
24:28that I handled the keys.
24:29And I wasn't trying to...
24:30You crossed the line, Chase.
24:32Maybe, maybe,
24:34just maybe,
24:35I would understand
24:36if Willow was at Pettenville
24:38at risk of a conviction,
24:40but she's not.
24:42She's free.
24:44She's got her kids back.
24:46Why would you do something
24:48that you knew was wrong?
24:51The only explanation
24:52is that you want revenge
24:54on Michael
24:55for what you think
24:57he did to Willow.
25:02So much has changed
25:04for Maxie and me.
25:05And she's made her choice.
25:07And she's happy with Spinelli.
25:11Yes, she is.
25:14You deserve that, too.
25:16I think that that means
25:17that you and I
25:17are free to
25:19pursue whatever we want.
25:21I don't think that Maxie
25:23would see it that way.
25:24Why?
25:26Because you just said it yourself.
25:28Just because she made her choice,
25:29she still loves you
25:30and she always will.
25:32She loves you, too.
25:33She wants us both to be happy.
25:34Of course she does,
25:35but us being happy,
25:36us being happy together
25:38are two very different things.
25:41This whole thing between us,
25:43it happened in the absence of Maxie.
25:44If she was here,
25:45it never would have happened.
25:47Maybe not.
25:48But she wasn't here.
25:49And neither was I.
25:51And it did happen.
25:53Okay?
25:54And I could say
25:55that time stopped for me,
25:56but it didn't.
25:57The feeling that it had
25:58went away pretty fast.
25:59And time and these experiences,
26:01they change us.
26:03Maxie's life looked different
26:04because of it.
26:04And you and I
26:05got to know each other
26:06in a way that we never had.
26:08You can't erase that.
26:10And I don't want to.
26:12Do you?
26:13I don't know.
26:19I do see you differently now.
26:23I do.
26:26You're more than just a friend.
26:33But Maxie is my best friend.
26:38And I don't want to do anything
26:39that would ever hurt her.
26:43I'm only telling you this, Rick,
26:45because you're my lawyer
26:47and I want you to be aware.
26:50Consider me aware.
26:52All right.
26:57Come on, sonny.
26:58You've got to be honest with me here.
27:00Is there something
27:01that you think
27:02is going to happen again?
27:06That's up to Justine.
27:08She says no, so...
27:11But you think
27:12that it might.
27:14Is that the point?
27:16Hmm?
27:17Come on, you kiss her,
27:18you throw her off balance,
27:20trying to compromise her.
27:22Look, was this a maneuver?
27:24Or is there
27:25something real
27:27between the two of you?
27:28It wasn't a maneuver, Rick.
27:33Okay.
27:36Well?
27:39You know you weren't
27:40trying to play her.
27:43Are you sure
27:44that she's not
27:45trying to play you?
27:48Sonny Corinthos
27:49isn't your typical criminal.
27:51He doesn't make
27:51the same mistakes
27:52most do.
27:53Yeah.
27:54In fact,
27:55some of the people
27:56who've come closest
27:57to taking him down
27:58are the ones
27:59who've managed to,
28:00over time,
28:03work their way
28:03into his inner circle.
28:05Considering what I do
28:07for a living,
28:07the odds of me
28:08working my way
28:09into Sonny's inner circle
28:10are extremely low.
28:12Well, true.
28:13But you and Sonny
28:15have clearly developed
28:16a report of sorts.
28:18Listen,
28:18you just said
28:20that Sonny
28:21has gotten you
28:21to let your guard down.
28:23Who's to say
28:24you can't get him
28:25to let his down, too?
28:26I mean, hell,
28:27you probably already have.
28:30From what you said,
28:32it sounds like Sonny
28:33showed you empathy tonight.
28:35He's certainly capable of it.
28:37I've seen it.
28:39But Sonny is
28:40a complicated man.
28:43And no one will deny
28:44that he does have
28:46some good traits.
28:48But whether he was
28:49sincere with you or not
28:50doesn't change the fact
28:51that he is a criminal.
28:53So you need to ask yourself,
28:55if given the opportunity,
28:58would you hesitate
28:59to prosecute him?
29:02You've got it all wrong, Brooklyn.
29:04Then make me understand, Chase.
29:06You have already been demoted.
29:08This quest of yours
29:10has already cost you a lot.
29:12Your detective shield,
29:14the respect from
29:15your fellow officers,
29:16and for what?
29:18Michael shot a congressman
29:19in the back twice,
29:21left him there to die,
29:22and then framed Willow for it
29:23so he could take
29:24her kids away.
29:25That can't be okay.
29:27He cannot get away with that.
29:29You don't know
29:29that Michael did that.
29:30You want to believe
29:31that he did.
29:35What if Dante
29:36just heard everything
29:38that you just told me?
29:39Do you really think
29:41he would ever let you
29:42serve on the PCPD again?
29:44Chase,
29:45this could cost you everything.
29:48Is it really worth it?
29:52This conversation
29:53doesn't have to be adversarial.
29:55In fact,
29:55I prefer it not be.
29:57You're not being accused
29:58of anything.
29:58You're simply being treated
30:00as a witness
30:01to the security incident
30:02that took place
30:03at the Five Poppies
30:04resort in Dalmatia.
30:09Everyone thought
30:10Britt Westbourne
30:10died three years ago.
30:13But I saw her alive
30:14and well in Paris
30:15last summer.
30:17And I tracked her
30:18down to that resort.
30:20Why'd you go
30:20to all the trouble
30:21to locate her?
30:24We were involved once.
30:28I found Britt
30:28at the resort.
30:29She was in trouble
30:30and I got her out.
30:32Did Dr. Westbourne
30:33share anything
30:34about what transpired
30:35at the Five Poppies?
30:37No.
30:38And I didn't ask.
30:42Mr. Morgan,
30:43you have a certain reputation.
30:46I'm certain
30:47you observe some details
30:49if only for your own security.
30:51I really didn't care
30:52about the details.
30:55My concern was Britt.
30:57Lucas doesn't have
30:58any complaints.
30:59He's perfectly happy here.
31:01Good.
31:02Then that settles it.
31:06Does it?
31:08Living here was always
31:09intended to be temporary.
31:11I don't want us
31:12imposing on you
31:13or your hospitality
31:14for too long.
31:16You're my son.
31:18I want you here.
31:20I know.
31:21But like you said,
31:23there's a lot going on here
31:24with people coming
31:25and going constantly.
31:27People I don't want Lucas
31:28to be crossing paths with.
31:31There's a lot of things
31:32I don't want him to see
31:33or find out.
31:37Has Lucas seen something?
31:40Has Lucas become aware
31:42of something
31:43that he shouldn't?
31:46Lucas,
31:47you don't know
31:48what you're dealing with.
31:49These are seriously
31:50dangerous people.
31:51They will kill you
31:52without even blinking.
31:54Marco is not like that.
31:55His father is.
31:56He murdered someone
31:57right in front of me.
32:00No one else can know
32:02about my situation.
32:03Marco should have had
32:04the sense to lie
32:05to your face
32:05and send you on your way.
32:07He didn't do you
32:08any favors
32:08by being honest with you.
32:11But I'll do you
32:12one right now.
32:13Forget we had
32:14this conversation, Lucas,
32:15because I sure
32:15is how I intend to.
32:17You do not want
32:18to be involved in this.
32:19In fact,
32:20break up with Marco
32:22and get as far away
32:23from him as you can.
32:24That is the last thing
32:25that you should want.
32:27Marco and I
32:27are in this together.
32:29He agrees that
32:30we have to get out
32:31of whatever this is
32:32with his father,
32:33but I can't do that
32:35while you're still
32:35being threatened.
32:36We can't get away
32:37from Sidwell
32:38until I get you out.
32:41So how do I save you?
32:46I know you weren't
32:47just trying to get
32:48close to Justine
32:51for fun.
32:52Come on,
32:53you were trying
32:53to cozy up to her
32:54to cultivate her
32:55so that she could
32:56be compromised
32:57if she did have
32:58to prosecute you.
32:59Listen,
32:59I'm not here
33:00to judge you
33:01and I'm definitely
33:02not here to tell you
33:03what to do,
33:03but as your lawyer,
33:04I need to know,
33:06is that still the goal?
33:07Because it's going
33:08to be a problem
33:10if your interest
33:10in Justine
33:12outweighs
33:12what she can do
33:13for you.
33:15Let me,
33:16let me worry
33:16about Justine,
33:17Rick.
33:20Okay, fine.
33:24But listen,
33:25as a former
33:26district attorney,
33:28remember,
33:30you are the biggest fish
33:31that we all
33:32wanted to land.
33:36What?
33:38I don't doubt
33:39that there is
33:40a possibility
33:41that Justine
33:42has genuine
33:42feelings for you,
33:44but there is
33:45also a possibility
33:46that she is using
33:48the growing closeness
33:49between the two
33:49of you to gather
33:50evidence to bring
33:52you down.
33:54Remember that?
33:56if I had evidence
33:57against Sonny,
33:58evidence I could use
33:59against him
34:00in court,
34:01I wouldn't hesitate
34:02to go after him.
34:03Then clearly,
34:04you know where your line
34:05is,
34:05and you know
34:06not to cross it.
34:07I do.
34:09Good.
34:14But keep in mind
34:16that if you do get
34:17close to Sonny,
34:18you are still
34:19acting DA,
34:20and he's still
34:21one of the biggest
34:21crime bosses
34:22on the eastern
34:23seaboard,
34:23so whatever feelings
34:25you and Sonny
34:26may have for each
34:27other about your
34:28job and his freedom,
34:31Sonny may care
34:32about you,
34:33but only as long
34:35as you don't
34:35get in his way.
34:41I don't know
34:42why you can't
34:43see it, Chase,
34:45but this drive
34:46that you have
34:47to make Michael
34:48pay for these crimes
34:49that you have
34:50unilaterally decided
34:51that he has committed
34:52has taken precedence
34:54over everything else
34:55in your life.
34:55That is not true.
34:57I just want to see
34:58justice served.
35:01We're in the process
35:02of trying to adopt.
35:05That comes with
35:06a tremendous amount
35:06of scrutiny.
35:07Every aspect of our lives
35:09will be under a microscope.
35:13So you've got to choose.
35:16Keep pursuing justice
35:18or move forward
35:19with adopting our child.
35:21You can't have both.
35:24I think you're
35:24underestimating Maxi.
35:27I really think
35:28she wouldn't want me
35:29to move on with my life
35:30if she's moving on
35:30with hers.
35:33I care about you,
35:34Lulu.
35:35And I know
35:36you care about me, too.
35:39And we have a chance
35:41to see what this
35:42could be between us.
35:45And I think
35:46that's worth
35:47a little awkwardness.
35:51I think it's worth a try.
36:01Unless you feel differently.
36:05Let's just be honest with me.
36:08You want this to be over?
36:11Look, I don't care
36:11about the WSB.
36:13I don't care what you guys
36:14got going on.
36:15I cared about Britt.
36:16That's it.
36:17That's why I went to
36:17the Five Poppies
36:18to make sure she's okay.
36:20But when it became clear
36:21that I had to get her
36:22out of there,
36:22that's what I did.
36:23Well, and I'm sure
36:24that Dr. Westbourne
36:25was very grateful.
36:27She was.
36:28I paid Britt's way
36:29back to Port Charles.
36:30I set her up
36:31with a place to live
36:31because she needed
36:32my help.
36:34But once she became
36:35staff at General Hospital
36:36again,
36:38she resumed her life
36:40and she moved on.
36:43She had no use
36:45for me anymore.
36:47Is Lucas asking questions?
36:50No.
36:51Because he's an amazing,
36:53trusting man.
36:54He still believes
36:55I have nothing to do
36:56with your business.
36:59He has no idea
37:00what's really going on here.
37:02Well, then there's
37:04no need for him
37:05to go away.
37:06It's just the opposite,
37:07in fact.
37:08If you send him away,
37:09it might erose
37:10his suspicions
37:11and that,
37:13that would undermine
37:14your relationship.
37:15I won't have that.
37:19Marco,
37:20I just want you
37:22to be happy.
37:23You found
37:24a wonderful partner
37:26in Lucas.
37:29and I want you
37:30to keep him
37:31close.
37:40Does Marco know
37:41you're trying to help me?
37:42No.
37:43Good.
37:44Keep it that way.
37:46Marco and his father
37:47have access
37:48to an experimental drug
37:49that's keeping
37:50my Huntington symptoms
37:51at bay.
37:52In exchange
37:52for that medicine,
37:53I do whatever
37:55they want.
37:56This medication,
37:57how do you get it?
37:58I get an injection
37:59when I go to work
38:00at Windermere.
38:01Marco or Pascal
38:02gives it to me.
38:03Do you have any
38:03extra doses?
38:04No.
38:05Why?
38:05Because we're both
38:06doctors and scientists.
38:07If we had an extra
38:08sample,
38:08we could reverse...
38:09We could reverse
38:09engineer it.
38:10I already thought of that.
38:11But I like
38:11where your head's at.
38:13So this medication
38:15is at Windermere 2.
38:17Presumably
38:18under lock and key.
38:20Well,
38:21lucky for you,
38:23I live in Windermere.
38:29A next general hospital.
38:31Are you telling me
38:32we can't adopt
38:32until I let this go?
38:34If you're holding back
38:35for me,
38:35I'd be a real shame.
38:36I need a favor.
38:38Stay away from Sidwell
38:39before you get
38:40any deeper.
38:41We have a complication.
38:42Let's call him.
38:43He's on to us.
38:45He's on to us.
