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